Chapter 28
Even without sword skills, every move of Lin Jichen made it difficult for Zhou Shen to resist.
Zhou Shen's original contempt was long gone.
This kid who was as weak as an ant.
Not only could he force him to use his most powerful spiritual skills, but he could also continuously improve himself in battle.
This kind of person is too scary.
Zhou Shen guessed that this person must be a very important disciple of Tianyan Sword Sect.
He must not be let go, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Time passed gradually.
Five minutes passed quickly, and Lin Jichen suddenly felt that his strength was greatly reduced.
It was like a man's body was hollowed out after paying for food, and the whole world seemed soft.
Lin Jichen knew that the effect of the medicine had passed.
But Lin Jichen was not panicked, and Zhou Shen's health bar was only four or five hundred.
The status of the two was almost the same.
He was waiting for an opportunity.
Zhou Shen was also waiting for an opportunity. When he saw that Lin Jichen's strength in cutting him had changed, he knew that the drug had worn off.
Zhou Shen decisively seized this opportunity and swung out the long-held Snow-Slashing Knife, and the knife light exploded!
"Chasing the Soul!"
The Snow-Slashing Knife, accompanied by a sonic boom, was as fast as lightning and attacked Lin Jichen head-on!
At the critical moment.
Lin Jichen used the 'Shadow Step', and his figure flashed and disappeared, leaving a residual image on the spot.
The Snow-Slashing Knife actually pounced into the air!
However, Lin Jichen did not dodge behind using the Shadow Step.
On the contrary, he used this acceleration to get close to Zhou Shen.
When he had no time to retract his knife, he cut his throat!
Puff!
The Chiyun Sword passed through Zhou Shen's throat, leaving a bloody gash.
Blood gushed out when the sword passed!
"A throat-cutting blow! Fatal damage! -466!"
Zhou Shen froze in place, with a large amount of blood gushing out of his throat.
Then, he lost consciousness and fell heavily to the ground.
Lin Jichen successfully completed the counterattack!
Huh!
After the battle, Lin Jichen sat on the ground and quickly took out the Qi-boosting pills given to him by Senior Sister Nangong Yue to heal his wounds.
Even if a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining took this task, it would be a life-and-death struggle, because the other party had a brother in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Lin Jichen was only in the early stage of Qi Refining, and the difficulty of this task was definitely higher than the hell level.
He really didn't expect that he would encounter a Foundation Establishment Realm opponent in a Qi Refining Realm task.
It stands to reason that a Foundation Establishment Realm opponent should not appear in a Qi Refining Realm task, but he happened to encounter one.
It was still one against two.
Lin Jichen felt a little regretful when he thought about it. If he had another chance to choose, he would never be so reckless.
Fortunately, it was successful.
After taking the medicine, Lin Jichen recovered from his injuries in a few minutes.
Although the clothes were torn, it didn't matter. He could just ask the sect to change them.
This battle greatly improved the proficiency of Lin Jichen's two skills. Defeating opponents at a higher level is one of the fastest ways to improve skill proficiency.
In addition, Lin Jichen's swordsmanship qualification has reached 10%, so the skill proficiency increases even faster.
After recovering, Lin Jichen went to find the spoils as soon as possible.
The first place he came to was Zhou Shen's soul tomb, which was shining with blue light, and there were obviously many good things.
[Spiritual Product·Snow-cutting Blade]: Strength +12, Critical +6, with the skill [Chasing Soul], which can condense the sword energy and instantly send out a powerful 200% damage attack, catching the opponent off guard.
Requirements: Exclusive for sword repair players, other players cannot trigger skill damage.
...
[Spiritual Grade·Hundred Refining Ring]: Strength +8, HP +300, Fire Skill Resistance +5.
Requirement: None.
...
[Spiritual Grade·Rhinoceros Fragrance Belt]: Defense +10, Dodge +1%, Automatically restores HP 10 points per second.
Requirement: None
...
Lin Jichen didn't expect that all three spiritual equipment on Zhou Shen would be exploded.
In fact, it's the same when NPCs are killed as when monsters are killed, the equipment is randomly exploded.
If not, then who would go to kill monsters when all the players go to kill NPCs.
The explosion rate of NPC equipment is as low as that of monsters, and it depends mainly on luck.
Lin Jichen's good luck value makes him unmatched in the explosion of equipment.
In addition to these three pieces of equipment, Lin Jichen also found a skill book, which was the [Hundred Flames Slash] that almost killed him just now.
[Spiritual Skills: Hundred Flames Slash]: Swing a giant blade forward, causing 1000 basic damage to enemies within a 30-meter range, and causing the opponent's "armor-breaking" effect, which lasts for 5 seconds, mana consumption: 500 points, cooldown time: 60 minutes.
Requirements: Sword skill qualification is above 40, and only sword cultivators in the foundation-building stage can practice.
Unfortunately, this stunt is a skill of sword cultivators, and Lin Jichen cannot learn it.
But he still put it away, maybeI can sell it for a good price later.
There are also a few pieces of ordinary items. Lin Jichen took a look and found that they were not valuable, so he threw them into the storage ring and kept them for sale.
Then he went to see Zhou Hao's soul tomb.
Zhou Hao was much poorer, with only one spiritual item.
[Spiritual item body skill·Mist penetration]: Increase speed by 20 points within 15 seconds, and if it encounters imprisonment, deceleration, dizziness and other skill attacks at the moment of release, it can be instantly released. Mana consumption: 120 points, cooling time: 60 seconds.
Requirements: None
When Lin Jichen first read the beginning, he was not interested and thought it was just an ordinary body skill.
But after seeing the comments at the end, Lin Jichen's thoughts suddenly changed.
I didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary body skill had such a strong hidden effect.
Release control!
This skill is so practical.
Whether in battle or in monster hunting, it is very valuable in combat.
Such a good body movement, but Zhou Hao only used it to escape, it was really a waste of talent.
Lin Jichen directly learned this body movement and became his second body movement skill.
Unfortunately, so far, he has not obtained any skills related to swordsmanship.
In addition to this body movement skill book, Zhou Hao also has a parchment scroll.
[Unknown secret method: The missing sect secret method of Tianyan Sword Sect, invalid after opening. ]
Now there are two choices in front of Lin Jichen.
The first is to open it and take it for yourself.
But in this way, the task is not completed and you can't get the task reward.
As long as you are lucky enough, you may get a very powerful skill book from it, which is several times or even dozens of times better than the task reward.
The second is to take it back and hand in the task.
Lin Jichen felt that he was lucky. If he opened this scroll, he might really get a powerful skill.
But he didn't choose to do so, but put the scroll away and didn't look at it again.
Because if you do that, you will lose the trust of the sect leaders in you.
In fact, for every mission like this, the sect knows any choice you make.
But they will not tell you, and will never punish you.
It's just that they have a scale in their hearts, and whether your weight on the scale increases or decreases depends on your choice.
This is a hidden indicator in the sect mission, which will affect the sect assessment and job promotion in the future.
If you are a person who often takes advantage of the sect, is selfish, and does things in public but disobeys them in private.
The sect leaders naturally don't like you and have prejudices against you, and your promotion difficulty will naturally be higher.
On the contrary, if you are capable, consider everything for the sake of the sect, and are honest and upright, it will be much easier to get promoted in the future.
This is also what everyone discovered when the game was in the middle of operation.
Many players with strong strength want to apply for sect job promotion and get more sect benefits and power. Although they meet the conditions, they always fail in their applications.
Later, everyone found out that it was the sect mission that caused the problem.
As a reborn, Lin Jichen certainly knew this hidden standard, so he had no idea about the sheepskin scroll.
He had made a lot of money from this mission, including three spiritual equipment, one spiritual skill and one spiritual body skill.
There were also several ordinary equipment and more than 50 low-grade spiritual stones, and some money.
If he returned to hand in the mission, Lin Jichen could get a large wave of sect rewards, which made him happy just thinking about it.
Why bother to gamble on a scroll that you don't know what will come out of it.
