There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 48: [Sword in the Heart]

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“This ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’, its level is orange?” Lu Xun was taken aback.

Just like the equipment levels, skill levels were divided into “gray, yellow, blue, purple, orange” colors.

Orange, denoted the highest level skills.

Mao Nanbei rushed in so urgently, and he hadn’t done anything, yet, with his eyes closed, an orange-level skill arrived?

He felt like he was being chased to learn an orange-level skill…

It reminded him of a quote from Audrey Hepburn: “I wouldn’t dream of reaching for the moon, I want the moon to come to me!”

Even in his previous life, when he was playing a high-level 60 character using the Stick Method, he only mastered the purple-level skills, and that too was just a fragment.

Even so, his stick strikes could make his opponents wince in pain.

A single phrase, “Take a beating”, was enough to send a chill down the spines of male players and astound the female ones!

But now, the skill before him was the highest-tiered orange level!

Lu Xun checked the basic information of the ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’. To his surprise, this skill was created by his senior Yanli who was currently in closed -door meditation.

“What kind of strength would Senior Brother possess to create an orange-level skill?” Lu Xun wondered internally.

What surprised him even more was the fact clearly stated in the basic information that Senior Brother had entered closed-door meditation caused by obsessively practicing this ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’!

“I level up through gaining Experience Points, so I should not have any trouble with obsessions, right?” Lu Xun thought to himself.

So, he confidently chose ‘Yes’ under the option ‘Do you want to learn?’.

Then, another cold message popped up.

“[Learning requires 10,000 Experience Points. Do you want to proceed?]” Lu Xun hesitated for a moment.

It was not because he was short-sighted or reluctant to spend these 10,000 Experience Points.

But for the early stages, 10,000 Experience Points was indeed quite significant, capable of achieving many things. Truly valuable.

As for the ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’, well, it wouldn’t matter much even if he does not learn it now. When he has enough Experience Points in the future, why wouldn’t it be okay to ask Mao Nanbei to teach it again?

But the orange-level skill was too tantalizing…

How many players could resist the urge to learn it immediately?

Plus, he’d never learned an orange-level skill before and he didn’t know its specific power. What if it rocked the world as soon as he got a grasp of it?

But these 10,000 Experience Points were indeed heartbreaking…

However, orange level skills were not supposed to appear at the early stage of the game. Once you’ve progressed to the middle or later stages, you can bear to spend 10,000 Experience Points.

“Let’s make a go at it. A gamble may turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!” With a clenched jaw, Lu Xun proceeded with the learning. “[Learning successful, Progress: Sword Cultivating Technique level o]” “[Experience Points 2150/1500, Upgradable]”

Having spent 10,000 Experience Points, he wasn’t too bothered about these 1,500.

He noticed that the Sword Cultivating Technique was divided into 10 levels, which indicated that this was a complete skill.

The Stick Method he had learned before was incomplete, so its maximum level was only 8. Once you reached level 8, not even an enormous amount of Experience Points would allow for further progress.

But initially, taking the purple level Stick Method to the first level needed only 500 Experience Points. This ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’ had tripled!

You should know that the Experience Points needed for subsequent levels were doubled several times. The difference between 500 as the base and 1500 as the base became more and more significant as you progressed!

Never mind, it already happened. After all, having learned the skill, wouldn’t it be a waste if he didn’t level up? Those 10,000 Experience Points would go down the drain!

Lu Xun decisively chose to upgrade.

At this very moment, an unexpected development occurred.

In the Small Study, within Lu Xun’s room.

After passing on the ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’ to Lu Xun, Mao Nanbei didn’t rush to leave.

Observing Lu Xun still assuming a cross-legged position with his eyes closed, she guessed he was still digesting and comprehending.

Mao Nanbei sat down in a chair across from Lu Xun, muttering, “Young Junior Brother doesn’t even have a sword right now. What use does it do to teach him the Sword Cultivating Technique? He has nothing to cultivate with!”

“The Sword Cultivating Technique is profound and opaque. It’s anticipated that Young Junior Brother will need some time to learn it. Second Senior Sister probably wants him to study the Sword Cultivating Technique while digesting the Sword Intent she left, enhancing each other’s effects.”

“Hehe, I’m sure I’m right! Mao Nanbei, you’re really smart!” The little Ioli swayed her small feet in the air, her cat ears slightly moving, looking very smug.

Indeed, she had guessed Second Senior Sister’s intentions. The ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’ requires enlightenment and cannot be learned all at once.

If Lu Xun could comprehend it through her Sword Intent, he could progress faster and achieve a doubling effect.

—Second Senior Sister had everything arranged perfectly!

However, a sudden development occurred at this point.

The Spiritual Energy around began to converge towards Lu Xun like crazed moths attracted to the flame of a candle in the dark night!

The changes in Spiritual Energy startled Mao Nanbei. Even the Second Senior Sister, who was meditating among the bamboo forest, suddenly opened her eyes, her expression solemn.

“How could this be!” Mao Nanbei jumped out of the chair, her face fraught with anxiety.

“Little Junior Brother couldn’t have learned ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’ all at once! And from the looks of it, he was practicing it!” Mao Nanbei couldn’t help but Danic.

As she mentioned earlier, Lu Xun didn’t own a sword. What was he cultivating with the Sword Cultivating Technique?

The essence of the Sword Cultivating Technique was to nurture your own sword, day in and day out, year after year.

Once the cultivation was accomplished, it could unleash enormous power!

It’s not an overstatement to say that if the initial power of the sword was 10, when your Sword Cultivating Technique reached level 1, the power of the sword could reach as high as 20!

If this was to be categorized in the game, then ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’ is more like a ‘Passive Skill’.

It’s not like Active Skills that only manifest their power when used. As long as you’re wielding the sword that you’ve nurtured, each of your moves and every damage you deal… is doubled!

Put simply—it’s a 100% critical hit!

Yes, it’s a 100% critical hit!

Moreover, as the level of the ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’ increases, the critical hit effect can further increase. For example, it can change from double critical hit to triple critical hit!

This is indeed a divine skill, but the big premise is that you must own a sword!

Large amounts of Spiritual Energy were drawn over and poured into Lu Xun’s body.

According to the process, after these energies circulate in Lu Xun’s body, they should be transferred to the sword through his hand.

But he didn’t have a sword, so the Spiritual Energy circled around and around in his body, getting lost.

Normally, he should’ve exploded and died at this point, like a balloon that has been inflated too much.

But the Experience Points were spent, so an upgrade should be possible.

Accordingly, the Spiritual Energy seemed to be attracted by something and began to converge towards the Sword Heart in Lu Xun’s body! Slowly, a solid gold light appeared inside the Sword Heart.

It was very thin, like a needle.

But indeed, this was a very tiny sword.

A Heart Sword!
