The Three Kingdoms Descend: Reincarnation of a Star General, I am the God-like Lü Bu

Lu Shenxiao looked at the long sword in his hand.

The blade feels slightly cool to the touch and is quite heavy. There are subtle, water-like patterns flowing across the blade, making it clear that it is not an ordinary product.

With a thought, the system's appraisal panel immediately popped up in his field of vision.

----------

[Props: Water Wave Blade]

[Quality: Rare (Purple)]

【Effect 1: Combat Strength Index +320】

【Effect 2: Adds water attribute attack (applies a slight slowing effect upon attack)】

【Effect 3: When parrying an attack, there is a certain chance to trigger the "Power Dissipation" effect (reducing part of the enemy's attack force)】

----------

"Whoa!"

Lu Shenxiao raised an eyebrow.

Purple, rare quality!

This is absolutely top-tier equipment at this stage!

It's important to know that three years after the arrival of the game "National Fortune," most of the equipment circulating in the market was of gray and white quality.

Blue-quality premium weapons are now only for elites to use.

As for purple weapons? Those are already exclusive to core members of major guilds!

"The value of this knife is conservatively estimated to be over 300,000 copper coins."

Lu Shenxiao rubbed his chin, his eyes becoming playful. "Xu Yi, a red-named player who's constantly wanted and barely makes ends meet, definitely can't afford this level of equipment."

The only explanation is—

"In order to save my life, he paid Xu Yi this knife as a deposit in advance."

Lu Shenxiao casually twirled his sword, and listening to the faint sound of flowing water in the air, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Boss Xing is very generous."

He silently gave Xing Lei a thumbs up in his heart.

However, despite his laughter, Lü Shenxiao's mind was rapidly calculating the combat strength.

"A level 23 special unit, the 'Jinfan Bandit,' already has decent stats, and on top of that, this purple treasure sword can greatly boost attack power and also provides elemental attack and damage reduction effects..."

Lu Shenxiao narrowed his eyes.

"If I were to awaken an ordinary general like that 'Xing Daorong' today, even if I got a perfect score on the physical test, I would still be in a hopeless situation against Xu Yi now."

"Even if I awaken the golden-quality destiny of a famous general, I would probably be in a tough fight against this overwhelming equipment, and the outcome would be uncertain."

No wonder Xu Yi was so confident just now, calling him a piece of trash over and over again.

In a normal person's understanding, with his setup, killing a newly awakened level 1 newbie is indeed no different from crushing an ant.

pity.

He encountered Lü Shenxiao!

……

A gentle breeze swept through the tree-lined path, stirring up a few fallen leaves that covered the bloodstains on the ground.

It was quiet all around.

However, Lu Shenxiao did not notice that on a dense plane tree less than fifty meters away from where he had just fought,

A pair of eyes were fixed intently on his departing figure.

It was a figure completely wrapped in tight black clothes, almost blending into the shadow of the tree trunk, with even his breathing and heartbeat suppressed to the extreme.

It's like a piece of dead wood.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Those who possess the destiny of an assassin may not be strong in direct combat, but when it comes to stealth and tracking, very few people can discover them.

Even Lü Shenxiao, whose martial prowess index was as high as 5500 points, was deceived by him without him even consciously sensing it.

Until Lü Shenxiao's figure completely disappeared at the end of the street.

The shadows on the tree, like a pool of melting ink, silently slid to the ground.

He ripped off his black mask, revealing a face covered in cold sweat.

"A monster...it's a monster..."

The assassin gasped for breath, his body still trembling slightly as he recalled the battle that had just taken place.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately dialed an encrypted voice call.

……

In the heart of Bincheng City, inside an extremely luxurious private estate.

Sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling onto the floor covered with expensive Persian carpets.

Mingyuexi leaned back lazily on a large leather sofa.

She had changed out of her innocent school uniform and was now wearing a well-tailored white silk dress. Her long legs were crossed, and her fair skin shone alluringly in the sunlight.

"Owner."

Through the communicator came the assassin's deliberately lowered voice, tinged with obvious awe.

If the students of Bincheng No. 6 Middle School saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.

Mingyuexi, who awakened the peerless Diaochan destiny and was regarded as a goddess by countless people, actually controlled a little-known force!

Moreover, he was respectfully addressed as "Master"!

"I asked you to protect Shenxiao, is something wrong?"

Mingyuexi picked up the black tea on the table and took a small sip.

"I just witnessed Lü Shenxiao's battle."

The assassin's voice still carried a trace of lingering fear: "He was ambushed by a red-named player."

"That player with the red name is not only a level 23 special unit, the Brocade Sail Bandit, but also wields a purple weapon!"

Mingyuexi paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup.

Purple weapon?

A level 23 Jinfan Thief?

Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

Shenxiao has only just awakened and doesn't even have a proper weapon yet. How could he have gotten involved with such a desperate criminal?

Could it have been done by that idiot Xing Lei?

"Is he injured?" Mingyuexi's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible tension.

"No...no."

The assassin swallowed hard, seemingly organizing his thoughts to describe the incredible scene.

"Xu Yi...is dead."

"He was instantly killed by Lü Shenxiao with a single punch."

pat.

Mingyuexi slammed the delicate teacup in her hand onto the glass coffee table, splashing out a few drops of reddish-brown tea.

She sat up abruptly, her usually calm and composed eyes now filled with undisguised astonishment.

"What did you say?"

Mingyuexi's voice rose eight octaves, "One punch kill? A level 1 ordinary cavalryman killed a level 23 Jinfan bandit wielding a purple weapon?!"

"Yes...yes, Master."

The assassin's voice trembled, "I saw it with my own eyes. Lü Shenxiao's speed was so fast that even his afterimage was not visible. With just one punch, he sent that red-named player flying dozens of meters, even breaking a tree. His chest... was punched with a bloody hole."

After understanding what had happened, Mingyuexi hung up the phone.

A long silence fell over the magnificent room.

Mingyue leaned back on the sofa, her chest heaving violently.

She closed her eyes, frantically replaying the scene the assassin had just described in her mind.

"Ordinary cavalry?"

Mingyuexi suddenly chuckled softly, her laughter filled with shock and realization.

"Shenxiao, Shenxiao, you have truly fooled everyone."

"Able to overcome a level 22 disadvantage, ignore purple weapons, and kill with a single blow..."

Mingyuexi's slender fingers gently tapped the armrest of the sofa, making a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound.

"This is definitely not a power that a blank destiny could possess."

"Even a Gold General can't do that."

She recalled Lu Shenxiao's carefree remark during the awakening ceremony, "Ordinary cavalry is fine too," and his undeniable presence as he walked towards the dungeon teleportation array.

"What exactly...destiny have you awakened?"
