Chapter 417: Heading to Spirit State
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In the Game Cultivation Room, Fang Qi was going through the last cultivation session before his journey.
It was said that the cultivators and warriors at Spiritual State had much higher strengths than those in the Deserted Sea Realm, so Mr. Fang had to be ready.
– On the demonic tower under the full moon –
A blue shadow flashed, and Fang Qi raised his hands to block at almost the same time.
In the next moment, blood splashed. Fang Qi’s face paled when a distinct chip appeared in his thick saber blade, and a wound appeared on his arm, so deep that it was revealing the bone inside!
However, the attack wasn’t finished yet. From the blind spot of his vision, a cold-eyed figure wearing a blue windbreaker sheathed his saber.
Immediately, Fang Qi’s vision blurred, which came with a muffled weird sound.
Meanwhile, a creepy saber energy slashed into him!
With excruciating pain, Mr. Fang opened his eyes and found himself back in the respawn spot.
From the unfathomable distance away, that aloof figure stood where he was and put his hand on his saber handle before the saber moved slightly. ( Boxno vel. co m )
Fang Qi was about to step out from the respawn spot when a saber energy appeared before him.
“F*ck!”
He died.
The moment that Mr. Fang respawned again, he fled immediately.
As soon as he moved, several saber energies appeared after him!
“…” Before he could take a breath of relief, another saber energy appeared out of the blue!
“F*ck…”
– More than half a year later –
Vergil slowly put his hand on the saber handle with a deep, abyss-like aura, and both the saber and the hand seemed to have vanished.
Meanwhile, Fang Qi moved back a bit, and the saber in his hand also vanished!
The saber energies collided with each other about a few inches before his face, instantly creating a wave of bright sparks!
“Hu…” Having reached the King Warrior Realm, the disheveled Fang Qi wiped the sweat off his forehead and saw Vergil suddenly freezing. Then, the space around them returned to darkness. “This Dimension Slash is so damn hard to master…”
[Current Cultivation: Vergil, Dimension Slash
Synchronization (Dimension Slash): 30%
Total Synchronization: 13.732%
Skill experiences gained/Character’s cultivation strength gained: 9653/3628
Comment: You can now use this technique with proficiency.
By now, Fang Qi had mastered the Dimension Slash and reached level 2 of the Royalguard Style. Together with other gun and sword techniques that he had mastered, his strength had greatly increased.
Meanwhile, his cultivation strength had finally grown to level 2 of the King Warrior Realm.
…
The sky above Half City was always gloomy. In the long time that Mr. Fang stayed in the city, it had never cleared. However, after the long period of heavy snow, it suddenly turned sunny; it was too rare.
As usual, some old customers from Half City, such as Mo Tianxing, came into the shop early in the morning and bought instant noodles; they had never missed a single day.
“Guild President, are you going out?” The old men who played online games with him still called him guild president.
By now, the Legend of Mir 2 had moved from the three old godly weapons which were Judgement, Bone Jade, and Dragon Mark, to the three new godly weapons which were Furious Hack, Dragon Tooth, and Xiaoyao Fan.
In the past year, the players had reached the Red Moon Valley and paved a path of corpses inside the valley.
They had discovered Overseas Moon Island and Bull Demon Temple. While the Dragon-Slaying Saber appeared, the path leading back to the Godly Dragon Empire was gradually taking shape.
Mr. Fang still played the game every day, and his Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild remained neutral. Despite frequent small skirmishes, the world in the game was generally peaceful.
While the cultivators and warriors from both shops joined all kinds of guilds and battled fiercely in the game, some of them had gradually developed friendships outside the game.
After they got tired of killing monsters in the Legend of Mir 2, they would drive around or race in Grand Theft Auto 5 to enjoy a totally different lifestyle.
“Yeah.” Mr. Fang stretched. “I’ve stayed in the shop for a long time, and it’s time for me to go out and explore.”
“Is it really far?” Ruan Ning frowned. She used to bicker with Mr. Fang all the time, but now she looked concerned. “With your current strength, you’ll be fine, eh?”
“Boss, when are you coming back?” Still shy, Zou Mo looked toward him and asked.
Lounging on a couch, Mr. Fang looked at the sunlight that was filtering into the shop from the window and chuckled, “I think it will be a long while.”
“Making a long trip at the beginning of the spring?” Ning Bi walked in and placed a handful of crystals on the counter before pouring herself a cup of milk tea smoothly.
“Take care,” Liu Ningyun, who usually ignored and disliked Mr. Fang, said to him.
The Black Dragon City Castellan, Huangpu Tao, Red Wing Daoist, and the others all stood up and cupped hands at him.
Mr. Fang waved his hand calmly.
…
In the Jiuhua City Shop, the group of old players acted quite calm since they had experience from the last parting.
“Going out to open another branch?” Nalan Hongwu asked while eating his instant noodles.
“When you get there, remember to put it on livestream.” Su Tianji and her two disciples were drinking milk tea. “After all, we haven’t seen Xiaoyue’s hometown, the Spirit State, yet.”
“Xiaoyue!” From the outside the shop, Lan Yan waved at Xiaoyue who stood beside Jiang Xuan. “Remember to access QQ with your communication jade, so we can still chat with each other.”
“Okay!”
With sword energies blinking, they had flown to the sky outside the city.
Jiang Xuan cupped his hands. “Brother Fang, have you considered opening a shop in the Royal City of my clan?”
He continued, “We have many masters in our clan. In the Royal City, 12 other clans come to offer contributions to our clan, giving the city a rare advantage. If you open a shop in the city, you don’t have to worry about thugs bothering you.”
“Right! Boss, open the shop near my home, and I’ll ask Dad to send some guards to the shop so that no one dares to mess around. After all, we can’t ask that senior for help every time we’re in trouble, right?”
Mr. Fang shook his head. “It’s not necessary.”
“Why is it not necessary?!” Jiang Xiaoyue was displeased. “You just don’t want to take me to have fun!”
Usually, all kinds of issues occurred in royal cities, let alone one that belonged to an ancient clan.
Besides, if the shop was opened in a border city like Jiuhua City, many people from other countries could access the shop.
If it had been opened in the Royal City of Dajin, it would have been convenient for groups of cultivators from the Yundian Realm or the three saint factions to take the whole royal city by force before Ji Wu could react. Although the possibility of such things happening was almost zero, any country must be wary of the potential risks.
Mr. Fang explained, “It would be very troublesome for you to fly back to the Royal City each day after school. I will go ahead and do some research to find a good location, so you can fly to the shop each day after school.”
“Yeah…” Jiang Xiaoyue said with sudden understanding, “Even with the sword control technique, it will take me a long time to make a round trip to the Royal City… It’s best if you don’t open it in the Royal City. Go ahead then!”
Mr. Fang nodded.
Jiang Xuan’s face twitched.
Damn it! I wanted to invite Mr. Fang to visit our Jiang Family, but now I have to think of another way .
“Brother Fang, do you know how to get through the Heavenly Forbidden Zones?”
Mr. Fang nodded. “Sort of.”
“Then, I’ll take Xiaoyue home. The girl sneaked out and hasn’t been home for a long time,” Jiang Yuan said.
Mr. Fang waved his hand, and Jiang Xuan saw a white light flash before him.
He froze.
Fang Qi was gone.
