Crossed Swordsmanship

Roger wasn't lying this time.

His level was indeed only slightly higher than Bai Qianqian's...

At most, it won't even reach the second ring.

This gap is not obvious in realms beyond ascension.

Having two more specializations and a few more Attribute Points won't affect the overall situation.

Roger himself was well aware of this.

His strength lies primarily in his personal qualities.

It has nothing to do with rank.

I stared at Roger's sincere gaze for a long time.

Bai Qianqian's suspicious expression finally disappeared.

He continued chatting and laughing with Roger.

Roger was merely going along with Bai Qianqian's casual conversation.

Secretly, however, he began to ponder the rumors that "metal flying objects are capturing Ascended beings everywhere."

Qin's message to him was very rushed.

Roger had a bad feeling about it.

After arriving at the Cloud Sea World.

He was also unable to sense the presence of the zither.

There are two possibilities.

Either Qin was taken away by that starship when she sent herself the message.

Or perhaps the sensory shielding of the Cloud Sea World is suppressing one's own senses too much.

Neither of these situations is ideal.

"If it's the latter, I need to find that starship or the piano quickly..."

Roger thought to himself.

He deliberately steered the conversation in that direction.

Bai Qianqian did not disappoint him.

Very soon.

Roger then obtained the coordinates of those large settlements.

However, this Cloud Sea World is extremely vast.

Even Yu Lang Mountain, the closest mountain to Cloud Gathering City, requires nearly two days' journey by flying sword.

In the case of the Star Master Authority failing to take effect for an extended period.

Roger knew he couldn't rush things.

They immediately prepared to go to Cloud Gathering City to gather some information.

About 20 minutes later.

Bai Qianqian, who was talking incessantly at the stone table in the quiet room, suddenly twitched her ears.

Indistinctly.

Roger also heard a strange 'zzzz' sound.

It looks like mice are gnawing at the base of the bed.

"Come on! Follow me inside..."

Bai Qianqian hadn't finished speaking.

A fierce gust of wind blew in from an unknown place.

If they weren't both highly skilled players who Ascension-grade...

They were about to be blown away by the wind on the spot.

Roger didn't hesitate at that moment.

He gave Bai Qianqian an approving look.

He then followed her out of the quiet room.

It traveled rapidly through the body of the Da Kong Yao.

It is said to be a passage.

Actually, Bai Qianqian didn't know the way very well either.

She simply adjusted her posture according to the direction of the gale.

It's just about making sure we get there before most gales.

Roger's strength speaks for itself.

It wasn't difficult to keep up.

In less than a minute.

The two of them ended up in a bunch of soft, rotten pipes.

now.

The hissing sound behind me had turned into a whistling sound like bagpipes.

Ahead.

A glimmer of light appeared at the end of the meat tube.

Needless to say.

The two of them then flew away on their swords.

At that time.

Two sword beams shot out of the hole before the gale could blow them out.

The whole process was completed in one go! Roger stopped the sword light with Bai Qianqian's prompting.

Looking back.

But beneath the sea of clouds, one can see...

The enormous body of the Da Kong Yao is gradually disappearing.

at the same time.

A yellowish column of air shot out from the hole behind the dorsal fin of the Da Kong Yao.

Like a whale spouting water.

However, that yellow column of energy pierced through the heavens and the earth.

It's far more spectacular and intense than a whale's water spout!...

"They're out..."

"Let me check the location. Hmm, it's not far from Cloud Gathering City!"

Bai Qianqian warmly greeted them:

"Since we've been inside the belly of the Da Kong Yao together, your business is my business!"

"Walk!"

"I'll take you to Cloud Gathering City!"

"By the way, do you know ' Crossed Swordsmanship '?"

Pay? Pay what?

Roger was completely bewildered.

Seeing him like this.

Bai Qianqian said with amusement:

"It's easy to fall behind the times if you just shut yourself away and focus on self-cultivation!"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the fundamental methods of the Cloud Sea World have remained unchanged for thousands of years. There are many innovations in minor techniques and supernatural abilities. You don't even know about Crossed Swordsmanship. It will be inconvenient for you to find a Daoist partner in the future..."

"But it's not difficult, I'll teach you."

As he spoke.

She warmly approached him.

He casually caught Roger's sword.

Then he started gesturing seriously.

"Look, first like this, then like this..."

"Yes, yes, no, no, look at me..."

"Now it's right, really right, um, something's not quite right..."

Under Bai Qianqian's patient guidance.

Roger finally understood what this "Crossed Swordsmanship" was.

Simply put

This is a basic skill for "Multi-Person Swordsmanship".

The person who invented this thing is either an LSP or a true genius.

Because he made full use of the characteristics of Sword Control Technique.

And they truly transformed their numerical advantage into a speed advantage.

Even if you only know the simplest Crossed Swordsmanship.

The speed of Dual Swordsmanship will also increase to about 150% of the slower one's speed.

If the number of people increases further.

The speed will be further improved.

Correspondingly.

The difficulty will also increase significantly.

It is said that there are currently many young people in Cloud Sea World who are enthusiastic about this kind of group activity.

Some sects were even created specifically to gather a group of people to play Multi-Person Swordsmanship games!

Some enthusiasts enjoy challenging the limits on the number of people and speed for Multi-Person Swordsmanship.

The current record for the former is 109 people.

Bai Qianqian wasn't quite sure about the latter situation either.

After all, everyone felt that their team was faster.

How widespread is the influence of Multi-Person Swordsmanship?

Since this technique was developed and popularized.

Many gathering places in the Cloud Sea World regularly or irregularly host Multi-Person Swordsmanship tournaments.

Even in the area around Xinlang Mountain where Bai Qianqian lived, many of the sisters secretly contacted Multi-Person Swordsmanship.

They intended to make a name for themselves in the sword-fighting tournament in the big city.

So he practiced very hard in private.

Before being upgraded.

Bai Qianqian would occasionally be dragged over to be a sparring partner.

Therefore, her Multi-Person Swordsmanship skills cannot be described as masterful.

He's at least an expert.

Guiding Roger was naturally no problem for him.

Not long after.

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have learned the new skills ' Crossed Swordsmanship ', ' Dual Swordsmanship ', and ' Multi-Person Swordsmanship '!"

"Multi-Person Swordsmanship: You can now share your sword light with your friends."

Prerequisite skills (Crossed Swordsmanship / Dual Swordsmanship)

"You have learned three sword-wielding techniques (two-person version): the Qin Se Method, the Zhi Jiao Method, and the Guidance Method."

"Qin Se Method: Dual Swordsmanship posture suitable for couples."

It can not only increase the speed of sword flight.

The two will also be more comfortable and intimate in their posture;...

Warning: When using the Qin Se Method, please remember that you are flying on a sword, and only flying on a sword!

"The Zhi Jiao Method ': Dual Swordsmanship stance suitable for close friends."

Significantly increases sword control speed.

It also provides a certain Defense Value;...

Note: The Zhi Jiao Method requires one to turn their back on the other party.

Therefore, one should not cultivate this practice unless one is a close friend or intimate confidant.

"Guidance Method: Dual Swordsmanship posture suitable for ordinary friends."

Increases sword-riding speed to a certain extent;

Note: This is a special technique for playing with female characters and newbies; it's recommended to max it out.

I've learned something new.

Roger was taught by Bai Qianqian, step by step.

He was deeply impressed by both the data displayed on the screen and the sights and sounds before him.

turn out to be.

The Life Sword can be used like this! The Cloud Sea World is indeed something special.

At least the local inhabitants are not complacent and isolated.

Instead, it has always been about innovation!

This pleased Roger greatly.

Not long after.

He then learned various postures and techniques for Dual Swordsmanship.

So Bai Qianqian couldn't wait to pull him along and try it out.

At the beginning.

Roger's movements were still quite clumsy.

Bai Qianqian cooperated with him for a few moments.

He suddenly stopped and asked:...

"Your Sword Control Technique looks a bit strange..."

Roger realized the key.

He immediately allocated 200 Skill Points to "Sword Control Technique".

We cooperated for a while longer.

Bai Qianqian began to praise it endlessly:...

"Hey? You've gotten much better at it. You're improving very quickly!"

The two circled twice in the clouds.

Roger quietly spent another 200 Skill Points.

And so.

The art style has gradually changed.

Wow! You're so good at this!

"Um... slow down..."

"Too fast! Too fast! Too fast!"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Amidst Bai Qianqian's increasingly loud shouts.

Roger finally stopped, albeit reluctantly.

Looking at Bai Qianqian's flushed face and the fine sweat on her forehead.

A trace of lingering reluctance still remained in his eyes—

Nothing more.

This is so much fun!

Roger didn't particularly like the fact that he needed to cooperate.

But Bai Qianqian is also an expert in this field.

Therefore, he cannot yet understand the frustration of the other person being unable to keep up with his pace.

So he shamelessly asked:

"Why did you stop flying?"

"I really did learn it!"

Bai Qianqian gasped for breath:

"We're almost at Cloud Gathering City!"

"We need to suppress the sword light..."

She slapped her forehead and said, "I forgot, you probably don't know, but you're not allowed to fly at speeds exceeding 160 kilometers per hour around big cities like this..."

Huh? We're here already? Roger subconsciously looked up.

really.

In the distant clouds.

There is a city radiating golden light! That city is located on a vast fairy island.

Its scale far exceeds that of Clear Spring Mountain.

It's about the size of the Frog Claw Basin!

The island is covered with farmland and houses.

Roger immediately spotted a dense crowd of people.

And a small number of practitioners who roam high in the sky.

"Hint: You have discovered ' Cloud Gathering City ' and ' Double Cherry Sect '..."

Even a small Cloud Gathering City has this scale.

No wonder the Cloud Sea World can support such a large population.

I came to my senses.

Roger looked apologetic.

I was just about to apologize to Bai Qianqian.

Who knew that it would happen at this moment.

Suddenly, a magnificent ship exuding a chilling black wind emerged from the sea of clouds ahead!

The deck of the ship was densely packed with people.

Those people also had rather strange and menacing appearances—

Or a tiger's head and a human body.

Or a bird-headed human.

Or it may have a human head and a tiger's body.

Or a human head and a bird's body.

In short, none of them are decent!

"Not good!"

"Black Wind Tower Ship..."

"They're from the White Marquis Sect!"

Bai Qianqian grabbed Roger's hand and tried to run away.

Roger didn't want to run away.

But I figured it wouldn't hurt to run around a bit.

Let's just treat it as another chance to play with swordsmanship—

But who knew that he had just started his attack?

Bai Qianqian suddenly interrupted his actions!

She stopped running away! Roger was dumbfounded.

"Uh, they weren't coming for us..."

Bai Qianqian said with a hint of helplessness.

As he spoke.

She pointed to the inconspicuous light brown fairy boat below.

On the celestial ship.

You can vaguely see some slender boys.

"Hint: You have discovered the ' Black Wind Tower Ship ' and ' White Marquis Sect Disciples '..."

"You have sensed ' Evil Cultivator Lin Ping'er (LV101/Elite)'"

"You discovered the ' Agarwood Light Spirit Boat ' and the ' Pure Water Sect Disciples '..."

"You realize that the burly men on the Black Wind Tower Ship are preparing to charge the young men on the Agarwood Light Spirit Boat a toll..."

"Are there toll fees around big cities?"

Roger was a little puzzled.

Bai Qianqian nodded helplessly:

"Some."

"Moreover, this phenomenon is very common, and the Cloud Gathering City government doesn't care, probably because they don't want to antagonize the White Marquis Sect."

"Ugh, these pristine youths look so weak, how could they possibly be a match for these burly men on the Black Wind Tower Ship? Damn it! Why aren't they coming for me?!"

Roger asked in surprise, "You want them to be after you?"

"But you just now..."

Bai Qianqian explained:

"If they're coming for us, we can distract them by running away, so that at least in the short term, these White Marquis Sect's people won't pose a threat to others!"

"But if they're targeting other people, then there's nothing I can do. My situation... is inconvenient, you know!"

Roger understood immediately.

Heart Demon Great Oath! Bai Qianqian, this female sword immortal, is quite interesting.

Mingming loves to meddle in other people's business.

He had to put such a tight rein on himself.

That's good now.

Judging from her anxious expression.

I really wanted to help those fair-skinned young men.

But she couldn't meddle in other people's business anymore.

"Or..."

"Shall we go up and mock them?"

Roger offered his enthusiastic suggestion.

Bai Qianqian shook her head with a wry smile:

"They won't listen to us."

"Look, the Black Wind Tower Ship spotted us a long time ago, but they didn't come any closer. That's because their leader recognized our strength..."

"The person in charge of this kind of ship must be at least an ascensionist, so I'm not entirely sure..."

Roger felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.

What's wrong with this woman?

He said he wasn't entirely sure.

Why have they already taken out all their magical treasures?! The next second...

He then noticed Bai Qianqian's very eager gaze.

Roger wasn't stupid either.

He also gained a lot of benefits from Bai Qianqian.

It's certainly okay to lend a hand.

At present.

He patted his chest confidently and said, "It's nothing."

"Don't meddle in other people's business, I'll go!"

"Because we're friends, that's what we're here for."

Bai Qianqian was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

She kept shaking her head, saying, "I was just being nosy, how could I let you take the lead?"

"It can't be done, it can't be done!"

"I'll figure it out myself..."

That's what she said.

But his men kept pushing Roger into the crowd...

Roger was shoved twice.

He gave a helpless smile.

The next moment.

He suddenly transformed into a streak of sword light and shot forward.

Sizzle!

The Formless Sword pierced through the triangular battle flag on the Black Wind Tower Ship.

Roger's figure also appeared on the deck of the ship!

In a short time.

All eyes were on him.

Who goes there?

The group of birds and tigers shouted sternly.

Roger, without changing his expression, said:

"A true man, when he goes out into the world, never changes his name or surname!"

"My name is..."

"Ji Qiu!"
