Borrowing a sword

Chapter 296 I have been waiting for you for a long time
Ten eagles continued to fly rapidly in the sky.

Nangong Yue began to float into the air and distributed participation tokens for this competition to each Daoist disciple.

When we go for the inspection later, this competition token will be considered as a temporary visa for people from the Mirror Kingdom to come to the Moon Kingdom.

When Chu Huaixu's right hand touched the competition token, he heard a system notification.

"【Ding! You have triggered the main quest – the East-West Continent Grand Competition.】"

Hearing the notification sound, he began to feel happy.

"I knew it! Why was this quest taking so long to trigger?"

"So it turns out I just didn't get the item."

The previous competition was held at the Taoist temple, so there's no need for this extra step.

He quietly opened the mission interface and checked the mission rewards.

"Wow! That's great!"

"Winning the preliminary round will reward you with 6 experience points?"

This is much higher than the first realm competition.

"Winning the second round will reward you with 10 experience points."

"The third round is 10 experience points plus a yellow-level spell upgrade voucher."

Currently, only the first stage of the main storyline is available, which is from the preliminary rounds all the way to the top 128.

The second stage begins with the round of 128 to the round of 32.

The third stage is the last one.

"As expected of a main quest, they're really generous with their spending."

For a competition like the preliminary round, it's like playing a game, and the rewards are already quite generous.

What surprised him most was that in the lower right corner of his task interface, the task reward was displayed as "[Claimable]".

This was exactly what Chu Huaixu had been most worried about.

The reason is simple: as mentioned before, he holds the title of the leader of the Xuanhuang Tournament, which guarantees him a place in the top sixteen of this year's competition.

The dead fox had felt it was a bit of a pity.

Making it directly to the top 16 seems effortless and extremely prestigious, but he still has to complete a task.

Moreover, in each sparring match, the opponent is essentially a "red-name monster" to him, and winning against them will give him "monster-killing experience points".

What worries him more is that the system might not even give out the rewards from the first few rounds of tasks.

"Thank goodness, at least the mission rewards can still be claimed."

"A straight pass means that I have already completed these tasks ahead of schedule."

This instantly put his mind at ease.

He is currently in a state of poverty due to lack of experience points, like a skilled cook without rice to cook.

If he couldn't even claim the mission rewards, he would really start cursing.

It would be better to take back my title as the leader of Xuanhuang and let me start from the preliminary rounds.

After all, if this trip goes smoothly, my status as the leader of the first realm of Xuanhuang will be overshadowed by the title of the leader of the third realm of Xuanhuang.

Looking at the mission interface, he thought, "In other words, I can actually claim all the mission rewards from both the first and second stages at once."

"Even in the third stage, when the top 32 are narrowed down to the top 16, I can directly receive the reward."

"Unfortunately, only the first phase of the mission is currently available."

However, it doesn't matter if it's Chu Huaixu.

Anyway, he'll get these rewards sooner or later; it's just a matter of time.

He has nothing to do in the capital now, and his only itinerary is to visit the Imperial Pool.

"Just going to take a bath."

For him, the Emperor's divine sense was actually dispensable.

Moreover, he was unsure whether this thing could coexist harmoniously with the Heart Sword once it entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

If the Heart Sword doesn't value it, it's very likely that it will be destroyed.

Chu Huaixu didn't think this thing was anything particularly advanced.

After all, during the battle for supremacy between the East and West Continents, Qin Xuanxiao invoked the divine sense of the founding emperor, and his Heart Sword directly repelled him with a single strike.

"What Emperor's Divine Thought? It sounds impressive, but in reality, it's nothing more than a defeated opponent of my Heart Sword." He started to boast.

It must be said that Cheng Yuyan is indeed skilled at manipulating people's hearts.

After hearing his words, Chu Huaixu was somewhat shaken and did indeed feel some resistance to divine sense.

However, he is a very self-aware person, and he will make a decision after entering the Imperial Pool.

At this point, he simply claimed the rewards for the first phase of the mission.

After collecting all the rewards at once, Chu Huaixu gained a total of 120 million experience points!
"That's how we get rich!"

In addition, he also obtained two yellow-level treasure chests and six yellow-level spell upgrade tickets.

"The yellow-level treasure chests are alright. Although the items you can get from them won't be of very high quality, they're quite varied, and they might be of some use."

"The Yellow-level spell upgrade voucher is really a bit of a waste for me right now."

"No, it can't even be called a useless thing, it's pure garbage!"

Chu Huaixu has now thoroughly read the three thousand volumes of swordsmanship.

His skill bar is always full. He can spend from morning till night looking at the skill details, until he gets dizzy and his eyes are blurry.

Under these circumstances, how could he possibly learn any Yellow-level skills?
"However, you could choose to melt them down."

"Games usually take into account that some things may not be up to par with the latest version."

"At this point, you can usually melt them down."

"Ten Yellow-level spell upgrade tickets can be combined into one Profound-level spell upgrade ticket."

"Similarly, ten Xuan-level cards can be merged into one Di-level card."

In fact, these upgrade tickets are used to replace experience points to upgrade skills. However, from an experience point perspective, it's not very cost-effective to combine ten tickets into one.

However, if something is outdated, it's essentially worthless and cannot be calculated that way.

"Besides, games, well, they all have a gambling element to them."

"Players can also choose not to use 10 cards to fuse."

"Nine cards can also be merged, but the success rate will be 90%, and so on."

"However, you need at least five cards to start, and the minimum requirement is to take out five cards for fusion."

Chu Huaixu glanced at his backpack.

Previously, with all the miscellaneous mission rewards combined, he still had 8 Yellow-level spell upgrade tickets!
"I might as well melt them all down," he thought.

"Just split it into two batches, taking out 7 cards each time to merge."

"The ending doesn't matter whether love is given or not!"

With this mindset, he began the fusion process directly, and surprisingly, he succeeded both times.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Huaixu opened both yellow-level treasure chests.

"[Ding! You have obtained 2 Clarity Tokens.]"

His lips twitched; he felt like he'd opened another box full of junk.

The so-called "spirit purification coupon" can eliminate one negative effect at the level of consciousness.

Moreover, this thing is only yellow-grade, so its effects are limited.

Stronger negative effects cannot be completely eliminated.

Chu Huaixu has the Heart Sword in his sea of ​​consciousness, and Nan Liujing in his left palm; both are more useful than this thing.

He glanced at his backpack again and noticed that it contained a lot of junk that he had received as a system reward.

"I already have six Xuan-level spell upgrade vouchers."

He suddenly started to feel a little itchy.

How many gamers haven't felt the urge to play?
Everyone was thinking of taking a gamble, hoping to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Even many high-spending players don't actually play honestly.

Many people choose to collect a large number of spell upgrade tickets and then use six or seven to fuse them.

Because of their large numbers and large base, they don't care about failing a few times; they just want the thrill.

If the final result is worthwhile, then of course you'll be extremely happy.

If the final result isn't worthwhile, then just consider it a mistake on your part.

When Chu Huaixu was working as a companion, he also took on the job of helping his female boss with this work.

Its nature is somewhat like that of a companion at a gambling table, helping the boss deal the cards.

"Fine, I'll give it a try."

He had a gut feeling that his luck was pretty good today.

Chu Huaixu placed six Xuan-level spell upgrade tickets into the [Fusion Furnace].

The stove started spinning rapidly, then slowly opened.

"It's done!" he thought with delight.

He never expected to be so lucky today, managing to get a level 1 Earth-grade spell upgrade ticket with a 60% success rate.

Chu Huaixu used it without even thinking about it.

As for the target to be upgraded, it is naturally the [Six Out of Horizon] that has already reached its peak!
This technique is extremely well-suited to him.

What he found most unacceptable was that his dishwasher, Xiao Xu, had already mastered it to perfection thanks to his extraordinary talent.

"If I'm still only at the Great Completion stage, wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing if Xiao Xu saw me like that?"

With this thought in mind, he glanced at Xu Ziqing, who had placed the huge sword box beside him.

The destructive power of the [Six Out of Horizon] technique, when upgraded to its highest level, is extremely terrifying.

Of course, the backlash they suffer will gradually intensify.

"Once the physical strength can't keep up, the applicability of this skill will decline."

"With my current output level, I don't know how these Moon Kingdom cultivators will be able to defeat me."

—I have absolutely no idea how to lose!
At this moment, the eagle flew forward a distance.

Then it stopped.

Two powerful cultivators from the Moon Kingdom stood in the air, blocking the way, and began a routine pre-entry inspection.

The Daoist sect is one of the four major sects, and they are treated as VIPs when they come to the Moon Kingdom, so it's just a formality.

After passing the review, the eagle flew forward for another day and night, finally reaching the capital of the Moon Kingdom.

There will be a second inspection before entering the capital.

The two cultivators at the peak of the sixth realm were in charge of this matter.

Not far away, in the sky above the capital, stood a figure dressed in a gray robe, soaring through the air.

He was in the airspace within the capital, while Jiang Zhi and the others were outside the capital.

Jiang Zhi looked at this person, and his face instantly darkened.

The man had withered skin, a thin build, and lifeless, vacant eyes.

—The old Grand Tutor of the Moon Kingdom, Ming Xuanji!
Ming Xuanji bowed slightly in the direction of Jiang Zhi and said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, it's been many years."

"I have been waiting here for a long time."

(P.S.: Second update, please vote with monthly tickets~)
