The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Bad news: Chen Li is likely to die many times over.

"This is the first lesson I'm teaching you: never turn your back on your opponent," Jingliu said softly.

……

"I apologize, I got a little too excited because I caught a glimpse of the God of Abundance." Some time later, Jingliu gently touched his forehead with one hand.

"If an apology is enough, what's the point of having Cloud Riders?" Chen Li said casually, with a sword stuck in his stomach but his face completely unconcerned.

It was completely unbelievable that just a moment ago, Chen Li had pulled the Zhili Sword from Jing Liu's heart.

After countless days and nights, Chen Li finally defeated Jing Liu in a one-on-one fight.

Jingliu's 998-1 kill ratio couldn't hide their decline, while Chen Li's 1-998 performance showcased his brilliance!

Although Chen Li can be resurrected after death, while Jing Liu cannot recover from injuries, Chen Li essentially used 998 lives to kill Jing Liu... But tell me, is Jing Liu really dead or not?

Because of the death reset feature, Jingliu has now regained his composure.

"And isn't it common sense to show your stomach when apologizing?"

"..." Jing Liu glanced up at Chen Li, then looked down.

"Ahem, just kidding. Although the process was a bit arduous, I still learned something," Chen Li added after his initial shock.

Although Jingliu struck himself with a sword at the beginning, taking the first blood, he continued to instruct himself on swordsmanship afterward, and was not simply attacking Chen Li repeatedly.

On the bright side, at least Chen Li's treatment is better than Ren's.

However, this doesn't mean that Chen Li is now as skilled in combat as Jingliu; Chen Li has simply learned Jingliu's swordsmanship.

A new skill has been added to the life skills list: Cloud Rider Sword Technique LV6 (25/600)

Second only to the forging skill, which has already been upgraded to level 7.

I just don't understand why Cloud Rider Swordplay can be considered a life skill?

“Your tone just now didn’t sound like you were joking; I could feel your sincerity.”

"???" by Chen Li

That passive skill for special operations against the US shouldn't be activated in such a strange place!

Chen Li didn't really... empathize with Jing Liu's accelerated swordsmanship teaching method. But right now, Chen Li only hoped that Jing Liu could tell which parts of her words were sincere, and not misunderstand that she really wanted to see her belly.

“I can compensate you,” Jingliu suddenly said.

"Ugh?"

"But this training is over, so even if you have any requests, you can only make them when the next training begins." Jingliu's body had begun to gradually dissipate.

The "teachers" on training cards originating from the same person inherit memories, because only by understanding Chen Li's learning progress can they better impart knowledge. Therefore, Jingliu's promise was not unfounded.

"Okay." Chen Li nodded.

"Think carefully about your request. Remember, you only have one chance." As soon as he finished speaking, Jingliu's figure vanished completely.

Watching Jingliu's figure disappear, Chen Li wondered if Jingliu would accuse him of betraying his master if he wanted Jingliu to teach him the erhu while wearing an evening gown and black stockings.

By the way... does Kagami really know how to play the erhu?

The enormous martial arts arena, created by Jingliu, gradually collapsed after Jingliu was lost. Chen Li returned to the initial space that day, which was illuminated by a cold moon and dotted with epiphyllum flowers, a space that was very much in line with Jingliu's personal style.

After Chen Li completed this training, the reward that had been condensed based on Chen Li's performance also manifested.

The cultivation space guarantees you'll learn everything, because you won't be allowed to leave until you've mastered it.

However, the final reward for spiritual practice will be adjusted according to each person's specific training situation.

such as……

[Ancient Mirror Without Waves]: As long as the mirror's core remains unbroken, its master is indestructible. Martial arts honed through countless deaths have given you an extreme tolerance for death. As long as your mind remains unbroken, you can fight to the point of complete physical destruction. In this state, you will lose your fatal weaknesses and be extremely immune to instant-death attacks and mental attacks.

"Combat continuation? That doesn't seem like it." This gift description made Chen Li scratch his head.

The meaning of this gift, in other words, is that if one's mental state is broken, this ability will not take effect.

"Who could have imagined this? The training of the Mirror School, which uses burning blood as an attack method, will eventually teach an ability that is mainly for survival."

No matter how beautifully crafted swordsmanship is, it is ultimately used to kill.

No matter how sophisticated the skill is, it's ultimately for survival.

In short, it's all the world's fault, and it's definitely not because Chen Li is afraid of death!

It's impossible!

Chen Li just wanted to continue the miracle. What did Chen Li do wrong?

"Well, improving my swordsmanship and making myself more resilient is a good thing overall. Hopefully, next time I get a Mirror Stream training card, I can get the [Sword Intent] training." Looking at the light gate that appeared beside him after completing the training, Chen Li took a step out.

Of course, Chen Li was even more hoping that Jing Liu could create an erhu tutorial.

"How about... we send Jingliu a message and tell her to start learning the erhu right now?"

Chapter 36 Mirror Flow's personal panel, the guardian is... Chen Li?

"Phew, I've really worked hard," Chen Li sighed, holding a teacup as he lay on the sofa.

Although the pain of cultivation will gradually become illusory after leaving the cultivation space, cultivation itself is real, so there will be a subtle sense of fatigue.

It's like taking a long nap and having a very long dream. Even though your body didn't move, you feel very tired when you wake up.

"Although the Knight's training card doesn't specify a cooldown period, it doesn't seem suitable for frequent use," Chen Li said slowly.

“Once you learn my swordsmanship, as long as you practice diligently, you will be able to protect yourself. There’s no need to rush,” Jing Liu said, sitting on the sofa opposite Chen Li.

That's right, Chen Li summoned Jing Liu again with his pale justice, and they've even been chatting for a while now.

Summoning a knight requires a "knight training" as a price, but Silver Branch and Mirror Stream won't make any unreasonable suggestions. Besides, what's summoned is just a projection and won't affect their normal actions, so why not summon them a few more times to obtain more knight training cards?

However, since Chen Li had lent the artifact he made for Silver Branch to Fairy Tale first, Chen Li was a little embarrassed to summon Silver Branch and could only summon Mirror Flow instead.

"Why did you summon me here? I see no ferocious beasts or powerful enemies here," Jingliu finally asked after sitting for a while.

"I have found a way to travel to your world, and we are not far from meeting in person. I summoned you to tell you about this."

Of course, Chen Li couldn't say that he summoned Mirror Stream to farm cards, so he had to find a legitimate reason.

"..." Jingliu seemed to be deep in thought.

"Furthermore, I have also created more wondrous items, which can prove their quality. Master Jingliu, how are the restraint bracelets? Are you satisfied?" Chen Li asked Jingliu.

Jingliu did not object to the title of "teacher" after learning that Chen Li had learned her swordsmanship.

But he did not admit it.

"The Demonic Yin Body has indeed shown no signs of flaring up. Is this the wondrous artifact you crafted for me to suppress the Demonic Yin Body?" Jing Liu raised his left hand, looking at the delicate, thin golden bracelet on his wrist, and asked.

Chen Li summoned the complete Mirror Flow this time, so it is possible that the Demonic Yin Body will activate.

"Ahem, this thing can be used to prove that I can create a wondrous object to suppress the demonic body, but it's not suitable for you." Jing Liu's words startled Chen Li, who waved his hands repeatedly.

That's right, the Demon Body is also considered a kind of "ability" by the bracelet.

Chen Li wasn't reluctant to part with the bracelet, but its effect was to restrict his abilities and make them more powerful the next time.

Jingliu was already walking on the edge of demonic possession. If she wore this bracelet for a long time, constantly amplifying the effects of the next demonic possession, one day when she took off the bracelet, Jingliu would probably be completely beyond saving.

The reason we're putting this bracelet on Jingliu now so she can try it out is because she's currently just a projection.

"I look forward to the wonders you will create for me."

"Unfortunately, this Pale Justice cannot summon a flying warrior, so it does require a Heroic Spirit attribute to create the artifact that summons the White Jade," Chen Li continued.

“No problem, I’ll keep an eye out for these kinds of items.” Jingliu nodded.

"And I have a suggestion, Mr. Jingliu, you could learn the erhu. I've heard that music can relax people."

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you?" Chen Li patted his chest and assured him.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. I used to learn the erhu, but I haven't used it in a long time."

But Jingliu doesn't understand why it has to be an erhu.

"Since you've come all this way, why don't you take a stroll around this other world?" Chen Li stood up and invited Jing Liu.

"Not interested in."

"And protect me while you're at it."

That's the point.

"……Can."

"Let's go, let's set off and meet up with my dear gaming buddy!"

When Chen Li used the cultivation card, he selected a time flow rate multiplier of 10000:1.
