Chapter 1756 1756: The Footsteps of a Martial Artist

"This is called life experience!" Hermit said with a grin. "I've just given you a free lesson!"

As he spoke, Hermit pulled out a dark wooden box from his robe and handed it to Wang Yu.

Relic of the Martial God: A precious item that, when used, can randomly grant a piece of the Martial God set.

After receiving the box, Wang Yu examined it for a moment and cautiously asked, "Is there no task reward left?"

"This time, there really isn't", Hermit replied with a laugh. "Don't question my character with your doubtful eyes; we do have our limits."

"I trust you as far as I can throw you! You old rascal!" Wang Yu shot Hermit a middle finger and then clicked to use the wooden box.

<System prompt: Congratulations, you have obtained the Martial God relic "Footsteps of a Martial Artist.">

With the sound of the system prompt, the wooden box disappeared, replaced by a pair of boots that appeared in Wang Yu's hands.

The boots were entirely black, adorned with golden stripes that resembled clouds, and within those clouds, dragons and snakes seemed to be writhing. Overall, they had a strong Eastern style, which Wang Yu appreciated from the bottom of his heart.

Picking up the boots, the attributes immediately appeared before Wang Yu.

"!!!"

Seeing the attributes of these boots, even someone as calm as Wang Yu felt a slight tremor in his heart.

He never expected that the ultimate reward for this task would be a pair of God-grade equipment boots, in addition to riding skills and abilities.

The strength of these boots' attributes was apparent, even to a novice player; the author need not elaborate further.

Wang Yu's surprise stemmed from the fact that boots were precisely the piece of equipment he was currently lacking.

Despite being fully equipped with top-tier gear, his boots remained the 20-level silver "Sunset Warboots", which he had obtained when he first played the game by defeating the Nian Beast.

In ordinary online games, boots are merely a piece of armor, but in a holographic simulation game, boots are definitely second only to weapons and armor in terms of importance.

This is because boots represent the player's movement speed.

In a holographic simulation game mode, movement speed is an essential attribute, whether in PVE, PVP, or while fleeing, making a good pair of shoes invaluable, especially for agile classes like archers or assassins.

Unfortunately, the Sunset Warboots had a very practical skill called [Sunset Shift], which was one of Wang Yu's most frequently used skills. He had not encountered a suitable replacement for a long time, which is why he had been wearing these boots from level twenty until now.

Now, seeing the "Footsteps of a Martial Artist" in his hands, Wang Yu's feelings were understandable.

However, after the excitement came disappointment.

Although the "Footsteps of a Martial Artist" boasted impressive attributes, with a base movement speed increase of seventy points, the fact remained that in Wang Yu's eyes, they were still not sufficient to replace the Sunset Warboots.

After all, no matter how fast the movement speed, it couldn't compare to the practicality of a teleportation skill. Moreover, having used this skill for so long, Wang Yu had developed an almost instinctive habit; if he suddenly lost this skill, his combat effectiveness would undoubtedly suffer.

If the Sunset Warboots and the "Footsteps of a Martial Artist" were both ancient gear, Wang Yu could easily fuse the two into one, but the Sunset Warboots were merely silver equipment, several tiers below the "Footsteps of a Martial Artist."

Of course, there were still ways around this situation.

Wang Yu could find a Black Crystal, extract the skill from the Xizhi Battle Boots, and then reforge it onto the "Footsteps of a Martial Artist."

However, Black Crystals are rare and hard to come by; in all his time playing the game, Wang Yu had only seen one, and their drop rate was considerably lower than that of God-grade equipment equipment. Rather than pinning his hopes on a Black Crystal, he'd rather hope to acquire another pair of God-grade equipment boots.

For a moment, Wang Yu looked at the "Footsteps of a Martial Artist" in his hands, feeling somewhat torn.

"Sigh..."

After much contemplation, Wang Yu sighed and stored the "Footsteps of a Martial Artist" in his ring. There was no helping it; despite being an God-grade equipment, if it was not comfortable to use, it could not be a replacement.

Speaking of which, Wang Yu was somewhat unlucky; in a single day's work, he had completed only this one task, and two out of the three rewards were items he could not use, which was rather frustrating.

Though Wang Yu maintained a relatively good attitude, a whole day of effort yielding nothing was quite disheartening. After stowing away the boots and skill book, he decided to log off directly.

...

The next morning, as soon as Wang Yu logged in, his message bar began to flash incessantly.

"What?"

Seeing the message bar flashing, Wang Yu initially thought the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were being hunted again, so he quickly opened it to find three messages popping up.

"Brother Bull, are you there?"

"Old Bull! Come help!"

"Brother Bull, log in and reply!"

Signed, Crotch Lord.

"Where are you?"

Seeing that the Quan Zhen Sect members were not being chased but rather receiving messages from Crotch Lord, Wang Yu finally relaxed and casually sent a reply.

Before long, he received a response from Crotch Lord: "In the tavern!"

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After replying, Wang Yu left the alley.

A moment later, he arrived at the tavern, where not only Crotch Lord, but other members of the Quan Zhen Sect were also present.

"Brother Bull! Help me!"

As soon as Wang Yu entered, Crotch Lord rushed over without a second thought.

"What's going on?" Wang Yu asked, puzzled. "Didn't you go to do the armor quest? Did you finish it that quickly?"

"Don't even mention it!" Crotch Lord said with a long face. "I went to Titan City yesterday and found the blacksmith there, but he told me that the Titan forging technique has been lost."

"Uh..." Wang Yu was speechless. "While you do seem unfortunate, I can't help if the Titan forging technique has been lost."

"No, you can!"

Crotch Lord excitedly grasped Wang Yu's hand and said, "I gave Arceus ten thousand gold, and he told me you are the only heir to the Titan forging technique."
