Chapter 41 - 41 41 Sword Array
?41: Chapter 41 Sword Array 41: Chapter 41 Sword Array First to catch his eye was the biggest and most dazzling purple Light Ball among the nine; Zhang Xiaoman focused his gaze on it, and its attribute panel instantly appeared.
[Mountain River Suppression]
——Mysterious Sword Transformation.
“Huh?
It really does seem similar to the previous skill, it looks like it might really be part of a set.”
Zhang Xiaoman said while taking a look at the other eight skills, and he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
“Thank goodness, it seems the other skills don’t require any self-castration…”
Zhang Xiaoman picked up the Skill Balls one by one from the ground and, while making a “pop, pop, pop…” sound effect, he burst all of them.
“Ah!
That’s satisfying!!” he exclaimed with a long sigh, his face full of comfort.
Then he saw the dog Jin Bao nearby and a feeling of pity rose in his heart.
“Jin Bao!
You really came out ahead this time!”
Zhang Xiaoman paused, as if thinking of something, and continued, “It looks like I might have to train you into a proper tool dog after all…”
Jin Bao: “Woof!
Woof!”
Upon hearing this, he was startled, then waved his hand: “Go on, go on, go grab some water if you’re thirsty, don’t be an eyesore here.”
Understanding his master’s gesture, Jin Bao happily ran to drink water from Zhang Xiaohua’s bowl.
Zhang Xiaoman no longer paid him any attention and refocused on the skills he had just learned.
Opening the attribute panel, there was a significant change; the nine newly acquired skills flashed with various colors, dominating Zhang Xiaoman’s field of view, making him eager to check their details.
First were the five green skills, which are: Sky Shattering, Three Pure Ones, Shattering Stars, Harmonizing Yin and Yang, Soaring Beyond the Void.
Zhang Xiaoman opened one of the skills to bring up its detailed information.
[Sky Shattering]
Usage effect: Place a sword nearby to form an array eye, granting the “Breaking Sun Formation” effect to allied units within a certain range of the array eye.
Breaking Sun Formation: Increases energy attack by 5%.
Energy consumption: 5 Energy
Effective range: radius 5 meters
Duration: 1 minute
Cooling time: 1 minute
——Lonely Sword Breaking Sun Formation.
“Hmm, certainly a Sword Array…”
Zhang Xiaoman observed the skill panel’s introduction and couldn’t help nodding.
“This one is basically a buffing skill, but it’s rate-limited; I think I know which game these skills come from… However, they seem somewhat different to the game, could they have been modded?”
Next, Zhang Xiaoman reviewed the other four green skills and found that, aside from the different benefits they provided, the rest of the attributes including energy consumption and range were the same.
They are:
[Shattering Stars]
Shattering Star Formation: Increases physical attack by 5%.
——Jade Sword Shattering Star Stance
[Three Pure Ones]
Soul Stealing Stance: Increases spiritual power by 5%.
——Divine Sword Soul Stealing Stance
[Harmonizing Yin and Yang]
Qiankun Formation: Increases speed by 5%.
——Extreme Sword Qiankun Skill.
[Soaring Beyond the Void]
Soul Suppressing Stance: Increases attack speed by 5%.
——Thunder Sword Soul Suppressing Formation.
That concludes all green Skill effects, which Zhang Xiaoman was quite satisfied with.
Although they seemed insignificant at only a 5% increase, they could be upgraded in the future, offering substantial improvement potential.
Having grasped the green Skills, he moved on to the three blue Skills, which were: Life Tai Chi, Swallowing Sun and Moon, and Transforming Heaven and Earth.
Zhang Xiaoman opened the first Skill to check it out.
[Life Tai Chi]
Usage effect: Plant a sword nearby to form an array eye, granting the “Sky-filling Formation” effect to allied units within a certain range.
Sky-filling Formation: Immunity to control effects.
Energy consumption: 10 Energy
Effective range: Radius of 5 meters
Duration: 1 minute
Cooling time: 1 minute
——Flying Sword Full Sky Formation.
When Zhang Xiaoman saw this Skill description, his first thought was of the Shadow Demon monster he had previously encountered.
If he had possessed this Skill at the time, the Shadow Demon’s control would have been ineffective against him, and he could have easily poured Holy Water over it.
“This Skill is fantastic!
The thing I fear most right now is control type monsters.
Once controlled, it’s impossible to even teleport away, let alone fight.”
He was ecstatic and opened the other two blue Skills with great anticipation.
[Swallowing Sun and Moon]
Prisoner Dragon Formation: No flight allowed.
——Ice Sword Capturing Dragon Stance.
[Transforming Heaven and Earth]
Primordial Force: Converts 5% of physical attacks received into Physical Strength and 5% of energy attacks into Energy.
——Spirit Sword Ying Yuan Formation.
The attributes of these two Skills were similar to Life Tai Chi.
However, the Swallowing Sun and Moon Skill targeted enemy units.
Zhang Xiaoman was quite pleased with these two Skills, one preventing flight and the other providing recovery, both being powerful.
They would surely be very useful later on.
Especially Transforming Heaven and Earth, although it recovered Physical Strength rather than Qi-Blood, he could even envision himself slaughtering millions of monsters with this ability once the Skill level was high.
Now, having reviewed eight Skills, only the last one remained, which was the highest quality Skill Zhang Xiaoman currently possessed.
[Mountain River Suppression]
Usage effect: Plant a sword nearby to form an array eye, granting the “Transformation State” effect to allied units within a certain range.
Transformation State: Immunity to all types of damage.
Energy consumption: 20 Energy
Effective range: Radius of 1 meter
Duration: 5 seconds
Cooling time: 1 hour
——Mysterious Sword Transformation.
When Zhang Xiaoman finished reading the introduction to this Skill, his jaw nearly hit the floor.
He hadn’t expected the effect to be quite like it was in games, making him immune to damage.
“Invincible?
What the hell!”
Zhang Xiaoman exclaimed loudly, startling his mom.
“Mom!
I’m invincible!”
He hurriedly explained the new ability’s effect to his mom, who was also pleasantly surprised after hearing it.
“It takes me 5 seconds to teleport back to town, and this Skill makes me invincible for 5 seconds.
That means if I encounter a monster I can’t defeat, I can just activate invincibility and teleport!
Mom, you don’t have to worry about me everyday now.
With these two abilities, I can pretty much stay undefeated.”
Although his mom was still a bit concerned, she nodded and said,
“This ability is indeed impressive, but you still can’t be careless; you must be cautious in all matters.”
Zhang Xiaoman nodded hastily in agreement, yet his gaze turned to the golden retriever sleeping back in its kennel.
He imagined what it would be like if it activated its Skill after he set up nine Sword Arrays.
“Hmm, it seems I might have the potential to be a Summoner in the future…”
