"Primal Chaos Skill" and "Lion's Roar Skill" (Please Recommend, Please Bookmark)

After Xie Xun finished speaking, a message from Yin Bukui appeared in the Team Channel: Brother Ye, it's up to you.

Sure enough, the reason this guy had not immediately stated what type of secret manual he wanted was that he had planned to wait until he and Ye Weiming passed the trial, then see whether Ye Weiming had any way to further maximize their gains.

Ye Weiming did not disappoint him. After smiling faintly, he said directly to Xie Xun, "Senior Xie controls the quest rewards. Naturally, what kind of secret manuals we receive is up to you. You only need to make the choice most beneficial to yourself."

"Interesting." If the same words had come from an ordinary player, Xie Xun would have thought he was talking nonsense. But Ye Weiming's stunning sword strike earlier had left too deep an impression on him, so he asked, "Then tell me, what kind of secret manual would be most beneficial to me?"

"That covers a lot." Ye Weiming said calmly, "For example, perhaps you have some peerless art you are proud of that needs to be passed down, or perhaps teaching us some Kung Fu would put you in a good mood, or maybe it could make your enemies extremely unhappy... something like that."

At first, Xie Xun looked at Ye Weiming as though he were thinking, You shameless brat, you really do remind me of my younger self. But upon hearing that last sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up. His smile immediately turned teasing. "If that is the case, I can consider raising the grade of your rewards. The question is, do you dare learn them?"

"Of course we dare!" Ye Weiming smiled. "What Kung Fu does Senior intend to teach the two of us?"

"Take them!"

As Xie Xun spoke, he waved a hand. Two secret manuals flew toward Ye Weiming and Yin Bukui respectively, and both caught them at the same time. The system notification sounded unexpectedly at that moment.

Ding! Congratulations, you have completed "Golden-Haired Lion King's Trial." You have received the quest rewards: 10,000 experience points, 1,000 cultivation points, 100 Jianghu Reputation, and ×1 advanced internal skill manual, "Primal Chaos Skill"! Primal Chaos Skill (Advanced): The famous internal skill of Primal Thunder Hand Cheng Kun. Cultivation requirements: Aptitude 30, Comprehension 30, basic internal skill "Breathing Technique" Level 10.

This "Primal Chaos Skill" was actually an advancement skill for "Breathing Technique"!

Speaking of advancement skills, they were essentially enhanced versions created by purifying and selecting an existing skill. Usually, the base skill had to reach a certain level before one could cultivate them. Such skills generally existed within sect martial arts and emphasized gradual progression. Compared to other martial arts of the same grade, they might not have any particular advantage in power, but their cultivation requirements were not as demanding.

Take this "Primal Chaos Skill," for example. Although its Aptitude and Comprehension requirements were beyond Ye Weiming's current reach, a base requirement of 30 was not excessive. If he worked at it, he still had hope of meeting its cultivation requirements in the near future.

In the Team Channel.

Yin Bukui: Using the grudge between Xie Xun and Cheng Kun to raise the grade of the reward skill... how did you even think of that? Lion's Roar Skill—this is my quest reward. It's actually an intermediate martial art. What did you get?

Ye Weiming opened the attribute link for Lion's Roar Skill and took a look.

Lion's Roar Skill (Intermediate): A special technique Xie Xun learned from Primal Thunder Hand Cheng Kun. It is a sonic-wave area-of-effect damage skill. Cultivation requirement: Internal Energy Limit 2,000.

Nodding, Ye Weiming replied: Looks pretty good. Work hard on increasing your internal energy. Primal Chaos Skill.

Yin Bukui: Damn, an advanced internal skill! You... But requiring "Breathing Technique" to reach Level 10 is a bit much. It's the trashiest internal skill, and it will definitely be phased out later. Any cultivation points poured into it would just be wasted.

Ye Weiming did not care much about Yin Bukui's reminder. The Divine Constable Bureau had no sect martial arts, so compared to other players, he lacked the simplest way of obtaining Kung Fu. He did not have many skills to choose from in the first place. By the time he had so many skills that he needed to forget one to make room for another, the little bit of cultivation needed for "Breathing Technique" would probably no longer matter to him.

"Now that the quest rewards have been distributed, you two can get lost." Xie Xun waved a hand, then added, "One last reminder: passing my trial does not mean everything is settled. Until you return to your respective sects and turn in the quest, this quest is not considered complete."

"If you die before turning it in, the secret manuals you just received have a 100% chance of dropping."

With a wave of Xie Xun's hand, Ye Weiming and Yin Bukui were sent out of the instance at the same time, reappearing beneath the wooden platform. Before them was the sight of Xie Xun wielding the Dragon Slaying Saber and slaughtering everyone on the platform.

After glancing at his health bar, Ye Weiming hurriedly swallowed a healing pill. Only then did he relax, recovering health while watching Xie Xun's spectacular battle against the crowd.

Ding! Watching an expert battle has broadened your horizons. Experience +10! Ding! Watching an expert...

Every minute, the system still popped up a notification. Though the experience gained was not much, it was better than nothing.

More than ten minutes passed before Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu finally arrived. What followed was a series of splendid story cutscenes. During that time, the experience gained per minute rose from 10 points to 1,000 points, no slower than grinding monsters with combos.

The plot was roughly that Zhang Cuishan could not bear to watch those Jianghu people be slaughtered innocently by Xie Xun, so he stepped forward to Challenge Xie Xun, then left behind twenty-four characters of calligraphy on the cliff.

The martial world's supreme, the Dragon Slaying Saber;

Commanding all under heaven, none dare disobey;

When the Heaven Reliant Sword does not appear, who can contend against it?

What he wrote was no different from Xuan Xiaobi's earlier work, yet when written by Zhang Cuishan, every character contained profound martial principles. Even Xie Xun could only concede defeat upon seeing it.

Even so, he still did not intend to spare everyone present. Although Zhang Cuishan had won, he had only saved himself and Yin Susu.

With a lion's roar from Xie Xun, all the NPCs fell to the ground and writhed. Quite a few were even killed outright by the shockwave. Players turned directly into white light, while NPCs became corpses.

As for Ye Weiming and Yin Bukui...

Ding! Because you previously passed Xie Xun's trial, you are immune to the damage from this Lion's Roar Skill.

From this system notification, it was clear that those killed by Lion's Roar Skill were all players who had refused to enter the trial instance and had tried to muddle through.

After clearing the field with his booming voice, Xie Xun directly abducted Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu and left Wangpan Mountain Island. Moreover, all the other ships had already been destroyed by him before he made his move.

At that moment, Wangpan Mountain Island had truly become an isolated island!

Just as all the surviving players stood there in confusion, a regional announcement sounded in the ears of every player on Wangpan Mountain Island.

Regional Announcement: All players on Wangpan Mountain Island are hereby reminded that the island dock will resume service in one hour. During this period, please protect yourselves.

"Pfft!" Upon hearing the system's regional announcement, one surviving player scoffed disdainfully. "Xie Xun has already left, and Wangpan Mountain Island is a complete mess now. What danger could there possibly be? 'Protect yourselves,' what a waste of our precious—ugh!"

Before the player could finish speaking, a steel fork stabbed him from behind in some unspeakable Vital Point.

-256 Critical Hit!

Startled, the player turned around, only to see a Giant Whale Gang member bleeding from all seven orifices and attacking him like a madman.

Frenzied Giant Whale Gang Member Level: 20 Health: 1200/1200 Internal Energy: 400/400 Martial Art: Thousand Year Kill
