A Lingering Weapon is undoubtedly a good thing. As the player's level increases, the weapon's various attributes will also change and grow. Its special effects will also increase and possibly mutate and strengthen. As a special weapon exclusive to Spiritual Specialization, the method of obtaining it is also a matter of luck. You definitely can't buy this kind of thing in stores, and it's not in surprise boxes either. It can only be obtained through special scenario plots or hidden quests, similar to how S-level specializations are acquired.

Like titles, Lingering Weapons are tailored to the player by the system. If the player's gameplay style gradually changes, then the special effects of the Lingering Weapon will also evolve, but the basic form of the weapon will not change. Therefore, generally speaking, players would have to be around level thirty, after their character's main combat style and gameplay have settled, before acquiring this item.

However, Feng Bujue and Kuang Zong Jian Ying can't be considered ordinary people. Take Kuang Zong Jian Ying for example, even if he reached level fifty, he would definitely still be using a sword. There would be nothing wrong with giving him a Lingering Weapon in the form of a sword now. Of course, that's assuming he can complete the hidden quest.

As for Feng Bujue, he is a very versatile person, slightly proficient in every specialization. The "Death Poker" he obtained is suitable for players of all specializations. Its special effects are ever-changing. Feng Bujue, at level fifteen, can't even imagine how terrifying this equipment will be when its full potential is unleashed.

【Critical! Critical! Critical! An ultimate move is coming, and for a time, the sky is dark and the earth is dim, the gods are running and the ghosts are startled.】

The straight flush that Feng Bujue had pieced together rotated and intertwined in the air, reaching Kuang Zong Jian Ying almost instantly. The speed and power were a new improvement compared to the previous attacks.

【Kuang Zong Jian Ying takes the initiative, determined to break the move first, and shouts oh~ ho——】

Kuang Zong Jian Ying switched to holding the sword with both hands, leaned forward, and dashed towards the five beams of light. He tried to use the sword as a shield, using speed to gain space, passing through the gaps, thereby approaching Feng Bujue and bringing the battle back into close combat.

【With a low shout, Jian Shao's zhen yuan is channeled again, and a vast and vigorous aura is emitted from all over his body, blocking the power of the spiritual light. In an instant, a clear whistle pierces the air in the gentle breeze, and the clouds in the sky surge, a turbid and hazy aura covering the eyes.】

【Light and shadow intersect, and Kuang Zong Jian Ying arrives swiftly. A bit of madness, and cold arrogance adds to his dominance! With courage, a quick sword vows to slay the strong enemy!】

Three of the five cards were blocked by the sword, one was successfully dodged, but there was still one card that cut across Kuang Zong Jian Ying's left armpit, and a gush of bright red blood spurted out, splattering five steps. However, this did not stop his progress. Kuang Zong Jian Ying still quickly reached Feng Bujue's front.

But Feng Bujue was also prepared. He knew that those five cards would not be able to end the battle, that the opponent would definitely break through and would definitely kill his way to close combat. Therefore, he had already prepared his next move.

Spiritual Sense Gathering Technique was activated instantly, and the pipe wrench was already in his hand. Dynamic vision, absolute speed, explosive power, all were slightly faster for Feng Bujue. Kuang Zong Jian Ying was bleeding just like him, the conditions were comparable. The difference was that Jian Shao had to get close to his opponent, otherwise he would have no chance of winning at all. And Feng Bujue was waiting for the opportunity to strike, calculating the timing to meet the enemy.

【Sword Qi shakes the spiritual energy, intersecting figures, colliding divine power. Under the hanging corpse wall, the earth trembles.】

Feng Bujue originally wanted to end the battle with a headshot, and he did indeed seize the fleeting opportunity to strike the opponent's head, but unfortunately, Kuang Zong Jian Ying actually had a helmet...

Although he had hidden this equipment, when attacked, the invisible outline would still appear for a second, normally exerting the defensive effect of the armor.

The victory or defeat was not yet decided. Feng Bujue wanted to create distance again, but it was not so easy. Kuang Zong Jian Ying unleashed a series of sword moves, his movements as swift as the wind, and he was already seriously using his full strength. The gap between a top professional expert and a non-combat player like Feng Bujue once again plunged the latter into a predicament of being suppressed, making it difficult to escape from the opponent's continuous sword moves.

【Close combat, every move is ruthless, every stance is dangerous. Splashing blood, drop by drop, seeps into the soil, dyeing it a crimson red.】

【The two unleash their ultimate moves in succession, spiritual energy sends them to the gates of death, sword light cuts off the path to life. In a brief clash, Kuang Zong Jian Ying is slightly better, the sharp sword forces the kill, and just when Feng Bujue's life is in danger, suddenly...】

【Heaven and earth are terrified, thunder hangs upside down, clouds shatter and the sky collapses. In an instant, purple lightning soars into the sky, and hellfire opens the way. In the dark night, a chilling aura comes from the distant horizon.】

The development of the situation and the surrounding environment all changed with the description of the narration. Due to the sudden lightning strike and the inexplicable heavenly fire, the two had no choice but to stop fighting and stood on opposite sides. For Feng Bujue, it was another narrow escape.

They both looked in the opposite direction from the mountain wall and saw a figure slowly approaching.

【Before them is an unbelievable sight, a chilling figure, a dead man eternally trapped in the abyss, and a ghost and god reborn from hell.】

This man had a tall and heroic appearance, and an extraordinary aura. He had long black hair reaching his waist, except for two white tufts of hair in front of his forehead. He wore a black battle robe, covered with a white satin shirt, with a tiger skin shawl on his shoulders, and a black and red cloak billowing in the wind behind him. He held a long halberd, a combination of a ge (dagger-axe) and a spear, with a straight blade in front of the shaft to stab the enemy, and horizontal blades on the sides.

Feng Bujue recognized at a glance that this was the "Saint Halberd Divine Sigh," a divine weapon forged from casting stones. Its owner was self-evident, the number one war god of the Suffering Realm (Ku Jing).

The narration of this scenario, for some reason, stopped after this person appeared and did not say another word.

"The fierce wind touches, asking the way is cold, who will drink together, who dares to block the pass? Yan Halberd returns to the命人不还."

The person who came recited his poem, walked up to the two players, and said, "You do not belong here."

Feng Bujue's heart was pounding, and he thought to himself, "What period of the *Pili* world am I in...? Yan Guiren hasn't retired yet? But listening to the description of the narration, it seems to mean that he has been resurrected from the dead."

He did not dare to speak rashly, but responded calmly, "We will leave after the victory is decided."

Yan Guiren took a deep look at him, did not speak, and then turned his head and looked at Kuang Zong Jian Ying, "What if I want you to leave now?"

"Hmph... then you'll have to ask the sword in my hand first..." Before Kuang Zong Jian Ying could finish speaking, Feng Bujue's poker flew towards him again.

However, this time Feng Bujue seemed to have deliberately held back, only throwing one card, which did not pose any threat, but just wanted to shut the other person up.

"It's your business if you want to be instantly killed, don't talk nonsense. I don't want to be enemies with any NPC in this world. Ten lives wouldn't be enough," Feng Bujue said.

"Feng Bujue, don't worry, I will not be your enemy. This is also what they want..." Yan Guiren said.

"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned when he heard this.

The pronunciation of "Feng" in "Feng Feng" is the same, and he didn't know which name the other party was calling him. However, in the previous scenario, Rehnquist Ford had called his ID [Crazy Not觉], and said that Samodier had asked him to say hello, which meant that the NPCs in these scenarios could probably see the players' nicknames at any time.

The problem now is that Yan Guiren's sentence seems to be alluding to something. What exactly does he mean?

"What did you do..." Kuang Zong Jian Ying looked puzzled. Listening to what he meant, the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared was actually on the same side as his opponent? He couldn't help but wonder, "Could this kid have taken on a quest that I didn't? That's impossible... From beginning to end, I've been fighting him. Apart from the main quest to kill the other person and the hidden quest to create a poem to get a Lingering Weapon, if he triggered any other quests, I should have triggered them as well."

"I..." Feng Bujue wanted to say, "I'm also in the dark," but unexpectedly, in the next second, a white light flashed before his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in the landing space.

"What does this mean? I was forcibly teleported?" He immediately clicked on the touchscreen to view the settlement information. The content displayed on it was: 【Scenario failed, you were killed by an NPC, the losing side in the killing game receives no rewards.】

Without saying a word, Feng Bujue opened his social options, found Kuang Zong Jian Ying's ID, and sent him a friend request. About ten seconds later, the other party chose to accept.

Feng Bujue then applied for a call. As soon as the communication was established, he didn't say a word of courtesy and asked directly, "Did you win?"

The other party was obviously stunned and replied after a few seconds, "Were you also teleported?"

"Yes," Feng Bujue said, "The system said I was killed by an NPC."

Kuang Zong Jian Ying said, "That's strange... Me too." He said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the guy with the halberd was a illusion-type Boss? Did he directly release some kind of instant-death skill on us?"

"It shouldn't be..." Feng Bujue said, "If he wanted to kill us, he could have just done it directly, and it would have been resolved in three seconds..."

"You mean we encountered some kind of game bug?" Kuang Zong Jian Ying asked. He paused for a moment and continued, "Hey? I say, uh... Brother Feng, you added me as a friend just to ask this?"

"Is there anything else?"

"Haha..." Kuang Zong Jian Ying laughed, "We can fight again and decide the victory."

With a "beep," Feng Bujue decisively ended the communication...
