“Hiss... Guda guda!”

“Wuwuwuwu!!!” After a brief silence, Yegu Pagoda City completely exploded!

The ghost-faced monks spoke in languages Jiang Xiao couldn’t understand, roaring loudly with overwhelming momentum. Their immersion was terrifying, as if they had just experienced a hearty battle and were now celebrating wildly.

As for this newcomer from China, the ghost-faced monks were looking at him with entirely new eyes.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Xiao wasn’t just bringing glory to the Chinese, but to all of humanity.

Because before meeting Jiang Xiao, the ghost-faced monks genuinely despised humans. What if you had many powerful Star Techniques? Weren't you just a child with a cannon?

You need to be strong yourself to forge iron!

It was an interesting chain of contempt. The ghost-faced monks regarded humanity's Star Techniques as "equipment," or in other words, "technology."

For the ghost-faced monks, true strength always lay in personal skill and tactical acumen.

Today, although Jiang Xiao was also equipped with "equipment," his personal skills were presented before everyone in a crushing manner. This alone touched the hearts of the ghost-faced monk clan.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiao stood on the stage, secretly wondering: I thought I wielded that sword pretty well just now, why didn't I get "Sword Mastery"?

Hmm...

Come to think of it, when Jiang Xiao practiced with the Fangtian Halberd back then, he seemed to have just played around and didn't unlock the corresponding basic skill either. On further thought, it probably required systematic training, at least practicing the most basic swordsmanship, before "Sword Mastery" would appear?

Jiang Xiao felt he could gain an even higher level of respect.

This group of ghost-faced monks called themselves weapon masters?

Heh, Jiang Xiao could be a weapon master too.

Any cold weapon, in Jiang Xiao's hands, could be upgraded to a Silver skill with 9 points, and then to a Gold skill with 100 points. As for Platinum and higher... Jiang Xiao didn't plan on upgrading them, that would be a pure waste.

A Gold-level cold weapon skill might not be as good as a ghost-faced monk who specialized in a certain weapon, but it would still be pretty good.

Right now, Jiang Xiao had a "fortune" in his pocket. The Full Moon merit he received last time gave him a full 30,000 points.

Calm down! Calm down!

Amid the roars from all directions, Jiang Xiao secretly steadied his mind. He couldn't make a decision on a whim. The idea of becoming a "weapon master" needed careful consideration.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

In the end, Jiang Xiao still used the giant blade, and his desire to learn these cold weapons was definitely not for show. He just wanted to gain the ghost-faced monks' recognition and respect.

If he could obtain great gains at a very small cost, why not?

Back on Earth, the World Cup was about to begin. It was easy to imagine another large influx of skill points.

"Hmm." Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly. This idea seemed somewhat feasible. He would observe the ghost-faced monks' preferences and see if the "weapon master" profession would be a bonus.

Speaking of which, the real bonus had always been right in front of Jiang Xiao: the hammer!

It should be noted that Da Chui (Big Hammer) had gained the ghost-faced monks' recognition with his masterful forging skills.

However, Jiang Xiao wasn't sure if he would unlock basic skills like forging.

After all, Jiang Xiao had also learned to swim, but didn't have "Swimming Mastery." Jiang Xiao had also learned many languages, but didn't have "Language Mastery." Jiang Xiao could also drive, but didn't have "Driving Mastery"...

The basic skills section in his Inner Vision Star Map seemed to be only for basic combat skills.

Whoosh!

A Grass Monk broke through the encirclement and leaped onto the stage, picking up a battle axe from the ground and roaring angrily at Jiang Xiao: "I'll fight you!"

Jiang Xiao was startled, looking at the other party's fiery eyes. Under such chaotic and impulsive emotions, the other party could still considerately challenge him in Chinese? I'm impressed.

Jiang Xiao smiled, pointing to the bamboo hat on its head, green threads flowing down as if to tell the whole world what happened in its family.

Grass Monk: "Huh?"

Jiang Xiao said, "Nice hat."

The Grass Monk casually threw the bamboo hat to Jiang Xiao, saying, "It's yours! Let's fight!"

Jiang Xiao caught the green hat, as if it were burning his hand, and quickly threw it back, "Thank you, I don't want it, you keep it, you look better in it than I do."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two more ghost-faced monks leaped up, one was an Armor Monk with gold-red lines flowing on its armor, the other was a Gold Monk with pure gold lines flowing on its armor.

The two ghost-faced monks issued battle invitations to Jiang Xiao.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and one ghost-faced monk after another jumped up, Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

This... this...

Jiang Xiao looked at those brave and fierce demons and ghosts, he was a little at a loss, what should he do?

In just a few seconds, the ghost-faced monks, scrambling to be first, had surrounded Jiang Xiao.

The ghost-faced monks, about three meters tall and strong, began a crazy "sales" pitch, Jiang Xiao wasn't short, he was already 1.82 meters tall and could look Xia Yan in the eye, but to these mighty ghost-faced monks, Jiang Xiao was simply the weakest of the weak...

People always judge others by themselves.

The ghost-faced monks craved powerful opponents, so when promoting themselves, they bragged wildly. They naturally thought that Jiang Xiao also wanted to fight against powerful opponents.

"Mine, Yi Thirteen! My silver spear, powerful, we fight!"

"Sword! My sword! Wo Cao Jiu..."

"I... I! I have big axe, can chop... can chop Hua Xiong!"

Under the crazy squeeze, Jiang Xiao finally made a classic move: head-in-hands defense!

The difference between teleportation and high-speed movement was finally revealed! Jiang Xiao didn't even know which way to step.

However, the head-in-hands defense was useless, Jiang Xiao was directly stacked into a human pyramid, pressed to the very bottom.

At this time, Jiang Xiao's heart was collapsing...

Sweating profusely!

Man on man!

Speaking of which, what was "I have big axe, can chop Hua Xiong"?

Were the Falcon brothers exporting Chinese culture to this group of ghost-faced monks? Did they tell stories here when they had nothing to do?

Jiang Xiao's guess was correct, the ghost-faced monks were particularly warlike. For a long time, the Chinese here couldn't suppress the heated private fighting.

Private fights all over the city! No matter which street you went to, there would definitely be ghost-faced monks fighting!

And it was 24 hours a day, non-stop private fighting! Can you believe it?

However, the ghost-faced monks were such creatures. One of the few things that could make them quiet down and sit still was listening to stories...

Jiang Xiao was only wrong about one thing: it wasn't the Falcon brothers telling stories, but Da Chui telling stories to the ghost-faced monks.

Da Chui couldn't tell "Dream of the Red Chamber," but he could tell "Journey to the West." As a result, the ghost-faced monks below the stage started fighting after only a few minutes.

Helpless, Da Chui began to tell "Water Margin." This time, he completely captured the hearts of the ghost-faced monks!

After "Water Margin," Da Chui started telling "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," and the audience's reaction was even better...

"Quiet! Everyone be quiet!" Da Chui jumped high, onto the stage, and his broken gong voice, shouted out, was no different from the ghost-faced monks' wailing.

It was precisely because of this broken gong voice that the ghost-faced monks loved to listen...

For no other reason than two words: Familiar!

Da Chui opened his mouth wide and shouted hoarsely, "Everyone be quiet! Today, I will tell you again about the Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu at H牢 Gate!" (H牢 = Hu Lao)

To He Yun and the blind girl's surprise, this scene of citywide riot actually gradually quieted down.

What is it called, one trick to eat all over the world?

Da Chui had told the story of "The Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu at H牢 Gate" thousands of times!

This work, was solid!

After telling it thousands of times, the ghost-faced monks should be tired of listening, right? The facts proved that they were not!

The ghost-faced monks said: We won't get tired of listening even if you tell it ten thousand times!

Da Chui looked satisfied at the hungry eyes below, nodded, and said, "Everyone get off the stage, stand well! Be quiet, if you perform well, I will add more... uh, tell more details about the Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu!"

Jiang Xiao grinned, Da Chui ah Da Chui, you exposed yourself...

Although the arena itself.

While agreeing to their invitations, Jiang Xiao persuaded the surrounding ghost-faced monks to leave, coaxing them off the stage to listen to the story.

With the help of the Falcon brothers and the Silver Guard team, the surrounding ghost-faced monks left with three steps and a look back, and Jiang Xiao also hurried off the stage.

Jiang Xiao also noticed a detail, from beginning to end, in this chaotic picture, there was no appearance of the Silver Monks!

Was there a species classification within the ghost-faced monks, and their respective biological characteristics?

The other three types of ghost-faced monks had all taken the stage, but only the Silver Monks were maintaining order, and none of them had taken the stage to ask for a fight.

Jiang Xiao thought secretly, bending down and slipping past the legs of one mighty ghost-faced monk after another, and came to He Yun and the blind girl.

"Haha." He Yun had just healed Jin Shiqi, laughed loudly and stood up, laughing out a face full of wrinkles, patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "Your swordsmanship, is really eye-opening."

"Then you see." Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "You guys came to the Other Planet too early. Since the 2017 World Cup, no one on Earth has not recognized my Jiang Xiao's swordsmanship."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao saw that where the blind girl was standing, there were two patches of dark ink marks, located below her left and right hands.

It seemed that she had already prepared to fight her way out?

As he pondered, the Gold Monk next to him stood up, and a finger came over, its long fingernail gently tapping Jiang Xiao's shoulder.

"What, you're not convinced?" Jiang Xiao looked up curiously.

Jin Shiqi said in a hoarse voice, "Teach, teach me! Teach me!"

"Eh?" Jiang Xiao blinked, looking at the weapon master in front of him, and said, "Me? Teach you?"

"Yes! Teach me!" Jin Shiqi suddenly knelt down on both knees, thump! Thump! Thump!

Three consecutive kowtows, knocked crisply!

This guy, doesn't speak Chinese very well, but knows a lot about etiquette...

As they spoke, Da Chui's broken gong voice came from the stage: "I saw Lu Bu holding the Fangtian Halberd, suddenly picking it up, and a golden wave of air rose into the sky! The Red Hare Horse neighed to the sky, and the fiery red wave was overwhelming!

Looking at the back of the Warm Marquis, a huge figure emerged, like the descent of the Overlord..."

Jiang Xiao was startled, what kind of magically modified version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was this?

He Yun suddenly gestured behind Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao turned his head and saw several tall and strong ghost-faced monks squeezing out of the crowd, one of whom was holding Jiang Xiao's two giant blades, presumably, he had specially picked them up.

I saw these six ghost-faced monks clasping their fists and bowing to Jiang Xiao.

Under the bamboo hat, the golden eyes shone with the same fiery color, and they said:

"Jin Wu!"

"Jin Shi'er!"

"Jin Shisi!"

"Jin Ershi Yi!"

"Jin Ershi Wu!"

"Jin Wushi Jiu... Greetings, Teacher!"

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, looked at one of the Gold Monks, and said, "Are you Jin Shi'er who smashed the ancient pagoda?"

Jiang Xiao looked at the Gold Monks, but also found similarities. The weapons these Gold Monks carried were all knives, just with polearms and infantry knives.

They were all here to learn the blade?

So, this was another hidden characteristic?

Why did only the Gold Monks come to apprentice? Other ghost-faced monks also used knives, why didn't they come?

Was the dual-blade style not good enough?

Jin Shiqi was anxious and said, "Don't, don't teach them, teach me! I finished kowtowing!"

Jiang Xiao: "......"

...

There is a little easter egg in this chapter, I don't know if you have found it? Secretly hint: number ranking.
