The beast tide of Tianyue City, the monster siege, finally passed peacefully.

Lin Chen didn't leave Tianyue City too far.

If needed, at his speed, he could return in less than an hour.

However, from beginning to end, the God-Slaying Formation was never triggered.

Qinglong didn't even need to take action.

Lin Chen continued to live in the Fire Ritual's manor, also watching Huo Nishang practice her sword. One day, Huo Nishang happily came over, excitedly saying, "Master, I followed your instructions, focusing on my heart and feeling myself and the sword, and I actually managed to unleash sword qi for a hundred yards!"

Sword qi extending a hundred paces.

Lin Chen had roughly understood what kind of path Huo Nishang's innate talent was.

Wuxia? (martial arts)

No.

At the very least, it should be considered a high-level martial arts realm within the Eastern combat system.

Don't underestimate Huo Nishang's ability to unleash sword qi for a hundred yards, it probably wasn't much in the high-level martial arts world.

"Very good."

Lin Chen nodded approvingly.

Perhaps it was due to the good relationship they had developed over the past few days, coupled with her genuine progress and the fact that it was based on Lin Chen's guidance, Huo Nishang's attitude towards Lin Chen had shifted from gratitude for saving her life to the trust and respect a disciple has for their master... In reality, Lin Chen hadn't guided Huo Nishang much; he had simply corrected her attitude towards sword practice.

Western swordsmanship emphasizes skill, combat effectiveness, and practicality.

Eastern swordsmanship, while sword techniques are important, places greater emphasis on the feeling of the sword... that is, the West practices swordsmanship, while the East cultivates the mind.

Lin Chen had merely instructed Huo Nishang to spend more time calming her mind before practicing, to use her heart to feel the location of the sword qi.

But the result was that this simple guidance actually led to Huo Nishang's breakthrough.

Previously, her sword qi only penetrated a few dozen meters.

One hundred yards was a barrier for her.

But now, she had crossed it.

"Master, I'm going to tell Grandpa this good news!"

Huo Nishang happily left.

Lin Chen didn't say anything; he continued to think about where to kill monsters and level up tonight, while also finding undead for Yang Yourong to devour and advance. Lin Chen had been doing this kind of thing these past few days.

However, Yang Yourong was still far from advancing.

[Yang Yourong]

[Race: Ghost Spirit]

[Level: Peak Ghost King Realm]

[Advancement Experience: 60,000,000/100,000,000]

[Skills: Ghost King Form (7), Soul Intrusion (7), Hell Scream (7), Ghost Wall (7), L厉鬼 Ultrasound (7), Ghost Spirit Scythe Slash (7), Ghost Spirit Possession (1)]

Quite a few skills.

Ghost King Form allows her to transform into a Ghost King.

When devouring undead, as long as Yang Yourong is in Ghost King Form, if the undead are of a lower level, she can devour one or even several in one bite.

Soul Intrusion can disrupt people's minds, a negative status skill.

The drawback is... it's only effective against primate races, including humans and elves.

Hell Scream can cause soul damage to the opponent.

L厉鬼 Ultrasound is essentially an enhanced version of Hell Scream, not only inflicting damage to the soul but also having a high probability of causing the opponent to lose their five senses, guaranteeing hearing loss within ten seconds.

Ghost Wall can create a fictional environment, causing enemies to become lost within it, but as long as the enemy remains conscious, they have a chance to see through it; black dog blood and virgin boy urine can directly break it!

Ghost Spirit Scythe Slash is Yang Yourong's only attack skill; she can condense a death god's scythe in her hand, dealing massive soul damage to enemies and a small amount of health suppression (causing enemies to enter a state of panic, reducing health by 20%).

Ghost Spirit Possession is a skill Yang Yourong obtained after following Lin Chen and advancing to the peak Ghost King Realm, so it's still level 1, beginner level.

This skill allows Yang Yourong to possess corpses; at a higher level, she can even possess living bodies, controlling targets with weaker mental strength.

Don't underestimate the fact that Yang Yourong's upgrade experience is already halfway there; this is precisely what's giving Lin Chen a headache.

Currently, Lin Chen is feeding Yang Yourong the undead killed by the Blue Star people after the game invasion, but each undead only gives Yang Yourong ten experience points, probably because these undead are too weak.

However, Lin Chen doesn't have a better solution and can only continue like this.

As for those Blue Star people's undead...

Blue Star doesn't have a netherworld.

Lin Chen didn't know if the "New World" game had a netherworld or a Hades setting.

In any case, those undead are wandering in the ruins of the cities.

They can't even be saved through transcendence.

Lin Chen doesn't even know how to transcend them!

In that case, he'll just physically transcend them.

Just as Lin Chen decided to go to a farther, larger city tonight to take a look, he saw Huo Nishang skipping back, happily saying to Lin Chen, "Master, look at this!"

Lin Chen looked over.

Then, his gaze froze.

"Hehe, Master, this is a secret manual left by my mother; I practiced the sword techniques on it... Master, what's wrong?" Huo Nishang curiously sized up the stunned Lin Chen.

"Uh."

Regaining his senses, Lin Chen quickly regained his composure and then calmly asked, "Nishang, in your eyes, is this just a sword manual?"

"Yes, Master!"

Huo Nishang replied, "I've been able to recite this sword manual since I was little; what else could it be other than a sword manual?"

Lin Chen then remembered that he was a Blue Star person.

If you ask Lin Chen what the difference is between Blue Star people and Dragon Country people, it's that... Blue Star people all have attribute panels.

Moreover, all secret manuals and cultivation techniques are skill books in their eyes.

But Dragon Spirit people don't have attribute panels.

They can't see them.

They rely on level and soul cultivation, as well as equipment, to estimate how many attributes they or others have.

Asking about things like sword manuals, in their eyes, they are just sword manuals.

They belong to a type of secret manual or cultivation technique.

However, in Lin Chen's opinion, the sword manual Huo Nishang was holding in front of him was a skill book.

Lin Chen could even see some information that wasn't in the sword manual...

This information is called skill descriptions in the game.

There are no descriptions in the sword manual.

And the name and description of this sword manual were the reason for Lin Chen's shock!

[Sword Qi Traverse: A unique skill for the Sword Servant clan... Legend has it that in ancient times, a divine sword transformed into a spirit named Sword Spirit. The Sword Spirit had servants who, after a hundred years, transformed into women. Later, during the battle between gods and demons, the Sword Spirit sealed her sword heart into the Sword Servant's body because her friend, the Saber Saint, had become demonized, and then fell into the demonic path. From then on, the Sword Servant drifted to one side, and through generations of marriage with humans, passed down the sword heart to the world.]

Good heavens!

In that case, the reason why Huo Nishang was born into the Huo family but had her mother's genes from head to toe wasn't because of Lin Chen's gene conjecture, and Huo Nishang wasn't a freak...

However, she was indeed a natural hidden class.

But this hidden class was passed down to her by her mother!

Bearing the sword heart.

Descendant of the Sword Servant clan!

Judging from the description, it seems that there should be more than one descendant of this Sword Servant clan.

"Master, would you like to see my sword manual?" Huo Nishang asked.

Lin Chen reservedly said, "This... can I see it?"

"Yes, Grandpa said you are my master, of course you can see it, and Master also helped me break through!" Huo Nishang trustingly handed the sword manual to Lin Chen.

This wasn't Lin Chen asking for it himself.

It wasn't even Lin Chen tricking her.

The sword manual was in his hands.

Immediately, it turned to ashes in Lin Chen's hands.

"Master, what... what's going on?" Huo Nishang was shocked.

Lin Chen was speechless.

You handed it to me yourself!

I'm a player... ahem, I'm a Blue Star person!

The sword manual in your eyes is a skill book in my eyes.

And your master is a Sky Walker...

I can learn any skill!

So, why do you think this is happening?

Lin Chen gained a skill.

[Sword Qi Traverse: Deals 300% double attack damage to targets within a range of eighty yards. Each level increases the purity of the sword qi by one point, increasing damage and attack distance by 50%. Consumes magic: 850! Cooldown time: one minute!]

Good heavens!

This skill is not bad!

However, Lin Chen isn't a natural sword heart like Huo Nishang.

He also doesn't cultivate sword qi.

So, what Lin Chen learned was like a castrated version; for example, in addition to Sword Qi Traverse, Huo Nishang also has Sword Qi Body Protection, Sword Qi Surrounding the Body, and even Qi Transformation into a Sword, etc.

Honestly, Lin Chen felt like he had wasted a good thing.

However, Lin Chen couldn't help it!

Fortunately, when the sword manual turned to ashes, after the ashes were blown away by the wind, a small map drawn on genuine leather appeared on Lin Chen's palm.

"Eh?"

Huo Nishang, who was originally surprised and even a little dissatisfied, immediately looked at Lin Chen with suspicion.

Lin Chen was also a little embarrassed.

The master destroyed the disciple's heirloom...

Moreover, he also secretly learned the disciple's ultimate move.

What is this?

But at this time, Lin Chen was also curiously looking at the genuine leather map in his hand.

Until, after observing for a while, Huo Nishang's voice rang out: "Master, how did you know the biggest secret in the sword manual left by my mother?"

Lin Chen was even more speechless about this question.

How would he know?

He didn't know!

"Perhaps, this is fate!"

Lin Chen had no choice but to pretend to be profound and give a vague answer, then examined the genuine leather map and said, "Nishang, look, there's a mountain on this map, and there's also an arrow next to it, and a line of small words!"

"Really."

Huo Nishang looked at the line of small words and read it out: "Look down the mountain at sunrise... what does that mean?"

"A riddle."

Lin Chen smiled.

He was very familiar with this kind of treasure map routine.

What's certain is that the things left behind by the Sword Servant who was by the side of the ancient Sword Spirit must be extraordinary!

Lin Chen was already looking forward to it...

He never thought that he just wanted to get close to Huo Zhi Jin, but now he had an unexpected gain.

Just...

"Master, this matter is very important; I must tell my grandfather!"

Huo Nishang looked serious.

This was in the Huo family.

Moreover, the item also belonged to Huo Nishang.

The key was that Lin Chen didn't know how to enter the place indicated on the map.

Perhaps Huo Nishang, who possessed the sword heart, would be the key.

Then Lin Chen could only... let Huo Nishang tell Huo Zhi Li.

The entire worldview and the entire background were starting to unfold!
