527 Blade Arts

第四十四章小试牛刀

在圣徒世界里,王铮在冥想室修行者八度刀锋诀,在这里,他的归一诀完全不起作用,当然归一诀对他的身体强化是无法抹去的,但要使用更强的力量,还必须使用刀锋诀,当然冥想也是要花时间的,这让王铮禁不住又要吐槽一下这里的无耻.

以王铮归一诀的功底,修炼起来刀锋诀也是事半功倍,但很明显的差别是,两者修炼的能量穴位有异曲同工之妙,但运行的顺序却有差异.

王铮有时也担心贸然修炼会不会走火入魔,但圣徒世界却解决了这个问题,当然它的出发点是垄断,在这里的所得和多学都会以储存水晶卡的形式存在,根本带不出去.

用屁股想都能猜到,这里的人想把这些所得带出去肯定是要付出天价的代价.

In the Saint world, Wang Zheng practiced 8 Tier Blade Skills in the meditation room. Here, his Primordial Regression Technique was completely ineffective. Of course, the body strengthening was undeniable, but to be capable of using more power, the Blade Skills were still necessary. Of course, even meditation needed time, which made Wang Zheng resent the shamelessness of the place.

With Wang Zheng's foundation of the Primordial Regression Technique, training the Blade Skills went doubly quickly. But a clear difference was that although the energy points the two arts used were similar, but the order of progression was different.

Wang Zheng was sometimes worried if over-training would consume him, but the Saint world had solved this problem. Of course, its starting point was a monopoly – all the information, as crystal cards, could not be brought out.

It did not require a genius to figure out that if they wanted to bring something out, it would cost a stupendous fortune.

当然即便是这样,恐怕也阻挡不住这里人的渴望.

只是几天的时间,王铮就把刀锋诀的初段修炼完成,由于他已经完成了基本的测试,只需要把八度刀锋诀修炼到巅峰,然后参加晋升决斗就可以了.

唯一让王铮不爽的就是时间用的太快,他的身家是有的,但真的要算起来,都是概念性的,KING现在根本不产出,处于大量消耗阶段,迪达星...未来可能会不错,可是现在超重力能量矿还根本没大量开采,就算开采了,也不可能很快的就产出,王铮也没到去买股份的地步,那也太愚蠢了.

But even so, it would not stop those here from longing.

In just a few days, Wang Zheng had completed the Basic stage of the Blade Skills. Because he had already passed the basic tests, he only needed to master the 8 Tier Blade Skills, and then participate in the rank-up battle.

The only thing that Wang Zheng was unsatisfied about was the usage of time. He had money, but on a closer look, much of it was notional. KING was not producing anything, currently in a huge consumer phase. Dida Star… would eventually turn out well, but now the super-gravity energy ore was not being mined in large quantities. Even when mining started, it would take some time to begin production. Wang Zheng would not go and buy stocks either, that was just dumb.

严小稣和叶紫苏那里肯定是没问题,但OMG在扩张,小福星也开始了扩张的战略,每一样都是花钱不菲,而在圣徒世界里的消耗确实有点惊人了.

王铮就开始琢磨着能不能自力更生,这可是老王家的优良产统,有人的地方就有财,自己老爹就是靠着忽悠养活了三口家,还忽悠到了老贾这样的人物,保不准老爹把自己忽悠的天命所归,天上少有地上无双.

经过这几天,王铮对圣徒世界也有一定的了解,这里的"治安"非常不好,本身就存在对水晶卡的抢夺,同时由于涉及到大量的财富,别说在圣殿之外,在圣殿内部都经常出现强制决斗的情况,有的人可能不是很在乎钱,可是人活为口气,自己的东西被别人抢了,还要被揍一顿,谁也受不了.

Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu would not be a problem. But OMG was expanding, and Little Lucky Star was venturing out as well. Each was spending money liberally, and the Saint world's spending was indeed a frightening sum.

Wang Zheng started to ponder if he could strike out by himself. This was a strength passed down in the Wang family. Where there were people, there was wealth to be had. His own father had depended on conning to feed a family of 3, even snagging up a thing like Old Merchant. Perhaps he had even tricked his own fate. Such people were rare.

In these few days, Wang Zheng had started to understand the Saint world a little better. The 'governance' here was weak. The mechanic of crystal card stealing, as well as the large amount of money in one place, made the sight of a forced duel frequent in the Saint hall itself, let alone outside. Some might not care so much about the value lost, but it was a matter of dignity. To have one's possession stolen, and be beaten up in the bargain was intolerable.

所以王铮同学感觉自己可以通过伸张争议环节一下财务压力,毕竟他是男人,可不想等爱娜和林回音来了出糗.

逛游了半个多小时,感谢上帝,终于被发现需要拯救的人了.

像这种六个带着面具围住一个人的情况,用屁股想都知道有人送财来了.

被围住的人倒是没带面具,看样子年纪也不大,畏畏缩缩的被人推来推去.

"小子,交保护费的时间到了!"

"几位大哥,这个,我真的没剩多少了,不能给你们."

Therefore, Wang Zheng felt like he could use these to his advantage and relieve his financial stress. After all, he was a man, and could not look bad in front of Aina and Lin Huiyin.

After roaming for half an hour, thank God he finally met somebody in distress.

6 masked people were surrounding 1 person. Of course they were here to deliver the goods.

The surrounded person was not wearing a mask, and looked young. Surrounded, he was pushed around.

"Punk, it's time to pay the protection fee!"

"Please, brothers, I don't have much left, I can't pay it."

啪~~~

其中一个狼头面具的人一耳光就甩了过去,打了小个子一个趔趄.

"少鸡巴废话,十个小时,少一分钟都不行,得罪我们贪狼会,以后你就别想在门徒层混,快点!"

"几位大哥,我真的很需要这些时间,我要..."

对方一脚就踹了过去,"要你妈啊,非要老子强制决斗吗,我们六个人每人发动一次,你连裤子都剩不下!"

PAH!

One of the men wearing a wolf-head mask delivered a sound slap, knocking the boy for a spin.

"Less of your nonsense! 10 hours, and not a minute less. If you offend the Hungry Wolves, forget about continuing anywhere near the Disciple tier. Quickly!"

"Please, brothers. I really need this time, I…"

The other guy delivered a cruel kick. "I… fuck off. Do you really want us to force a duel? If each of us activates a duel, you won't even be able to afford pants!"

年轻人气得浑身战栗,但竟然不敢反抗,在圣殿范围内发出强制决斗,第一次的价格并不贵,一天的次数越多价格就越高,第二天清零.

王铮大乐,果然有人的地方就有黑社会,惩恶扬善的时候到了.

"喂,你们几个,交保护费的时间到了!"王铮的生意突兀的响起.

六个人几乎齐齐的转身,都是狼性面具,但是反映的表情还是有差别,但几乎都表现的相当凶恶.

The young man was quivering with rage, but scared of retaliating. Forcing a duel within the Saint hall for the first time was not expensive. The more one fought in a day, the higher the price, resetting each day.

Wang Zheng was overjoyed. As expected a gang always existed where there were people. It was time to fight off the baddies.

"Oi, you lot! It's time to pay the protection fee!" Wang Zheng shouted.

All 6 turned in unison. They all wore wolf-type masks, but the expressions were different, although each was suitably fearsome.

"小兔崽子,你找死啊,...新人,很好,自己送上门来了,先交五十个小时的入门费."为首的一个贪狼逼近王铮,身手就想抓王铮的衣领,但王铮猛然一个突进,瞬间成了面具碰面具的距离,反而被对方吓了一跳.

被踹到在地的人站了起来,名字叫做"树",连忙拉住王铮,"几位大哥,这是我朋友,不懂规矩,五十个小时也太多了,十个,按照常规不都是十个吗?"

"滚一边去,老子说话哪儿有你插嘴的份儿,老子看这家伙不顺眼,黑炭,黑你妈,五十个小时,少一分钟,老子见你一次扁你一次!"

王铮拉开树,手一伸,五张善良的紫色水晶卡就出现了,"是吗,那就看你们有没有本事了."

"Little punk, are you asking for death? A newbie, very good. Since you've delivered yourself to the door, it's a first time entry fee of 50 hours." The foremost Hungry Wolf closed in on Wang Zheng, wanting to grab him by the collar. But Wang Zheng advanced suddenly, turning it into a mask-against-mask situation, unnerving his opponent.

The guy kicked to the floor was called "Tree". He hurriedly held Wang Zheng back. "Brothers, please. This is my friend who does not know the rules. 50 hours is too much. 10? The normal rate is 10, isn't it?"

"Fuck off. How dare you interrupt when I'm speaking! I don't like the look of this guy. Charcoal, char your ass! 50 hours, and I'll beat you for each minute less."

Wang Zheng shrugged free of Tree. He extended his hand, displaying 5 purple crystal cards. "Is it? That depends on your ability, though."

说完又收了起来,六人对视一眼,立刻把王铮围了起来,至于一旁的树就没人搭理了.

王铮还没反应,眼前光芒四射,瞬间进入了角斗场,只不过他被是六个人围住的,树则被吓的脸色苍白,手足无措.

团队决斗卡!

俗称群殴卡.

"小子,天堂有路你不走,哥几个今天要发财了!"六个贪狼的眼睛都是闪着绿光了.

Saying that, he kept the cards. All 6 stared, and immediately surrounded Wang Zheng. Tree, at one side, was ignored.

Wang Zheng had not reacted. In front of him, light poured, and he was transported into a duel arena. He was surrounded by 6 guys, and Tree's face was ashen, helpless.

Team duel card!

Also known as the group beating card.

"Punk, we gave you an easy way out, but you didn't take it. We're gonna be rich now!" All 6 Hungry Wolves' eyes were gleaming with greed.

群殴卡的价格不菲,除非遇到超级肥羊,眼前就是!

"老大,我先来砰砰运气!"

被击败一次,胜利者就可以抽走一张卡片,其中一个迫不及待了.

一张刀锋诀的卡出现,瞬间化成缤纷光点进入体内,一声暴喝冲向王铮.

王铮也冲了上去,轰...

王铮被打的咧咧齐齐一屁股蹲在地上.

A group beating card was not cheap, unless one met an unbearably fat prize. Like this one!

"Boss, I'll go test the waters!"

After a victory, the winner could choose a card. One of them could wait no more.

A Blade Skill card appeared, and his body was infused with light. With a wild cry, he rushed Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng rushed up as well. BOOM…

Wang Zheng had been handed his ass, left on the floor.

这么多年还是第一次,他奶奶的,这有没有功法的差别还是挺大的.

树的脸色更苍白了,他知道这个黑炭是好意,但是真正办了坏事,他不来,顶多被这个几人揍一顿也就完了,可是这下惨了,而他的领悟是不能给别人的,就算死也不能给!

王铮还有点不服气,又冲了上去,正面硬碰,轰...

其他五个贪狼本来多少还有点担心对方是高手,但现在看,完全就是个刚入门急着装逼的菜鸟.

It was the first time in many years. Fuck, here the difference between having an art and not was indeed big.

Tree's face had lost the last vestiges of color. He knew that this Charcoal was well-meaning, but he had really gone and done it now. If he had not come, at most Tree would have taken a beating. But now this was worse. Besides, he could not give others his understanding. He would die before he let that happen!

Wang Zheng was not satisfied. He rushed up again, in a head-on confrontation. BOOM…

The other 5 Hungry Wolves had been a little worried that their opponent was an expert. But seeing the situation unfold, it looked like it was just an over-anxious newbie.

王铮从地上爬了起来,知道不适用刀锋诀是不行了,拿出了自己的刀锋诀卡片.

一看到王铮刀锋诀水晶卡的颜色,六个人都禁不住大笑,"见脑子有病的,没见过这种神经病,初段刀锋诀竟然就敢学人当黑社会."

"小子,你这么叼,你家里人知道吗,今儿哥几个就好好教你怎么做人!"

这六个人都是刀锋诀的高段,八度刀锋诀分为初段,中段,高段,到了高段就可以参加晋升决斗,直到成功.

Wang Zheng picked himself up from the ground. He knew that if he did not use the Blade Skills he would not win, so he took out his own Blade Skills card.

Seeing Wang Zheng's Blade Skills card's color, all 6 laughed loudly. "Clearly sick in the brain, although I haven't seen this brand of madness before. A basic stage Blade Skills actually dares to try his hand at being a mafia?"

"Punk, does your family know you're so cool? Let us teach you a lesson today!"

All 6 were Advanced Stage Blade Skills. 8 Tier Blade Skills was divided into Basic Stage, Intermediate Stage, Advanced Stage. Once Advanced Stage was reached, one could participate in the rank-up battles until one succeeded.

一般来说,在门徒层,没到高段的人,都要夹着尾巴做人,这小子倒好,拿了个初段卡,就开始逞英雄.

刀锋诀入体,瞬间运转了一个周天,噌...

王铮的身形消失了,来到对手的面前,对方的手刚刚抬起来,王铮一个横肘就过去,直接点在咽喉处.

砰...

爆裂.

Normally in the Disciple level, those not at Advanced Stage moved with their tail between their legs. This punk had guts though. Trying to be a hero with only a Basic Stage card.

The Blade Skill entered him, and suddenly things changed. Whoosh…

Wang Zheng's figure disappeared, reappearing in front of his opponent. The opponent had just raised a hadn in response, when Wang Zheng's elbow scythed out, connecting directly at his throat.

PING…

Exploded.

一个贪狼的身体爆裂,化成光点碎片消散在决斗场,而王铮的账户上却多了十八个小时,还有几张卡片,王铮乐了,他终于发现了最有前途的职业.

其他五个人这才反应过来,几乎一拥而上,王铮哪儿还客气,整个人像鱼一样在五个人中间穿行,随手一击就会有人化成碎片消散.

只是一会儿的时间,决斗场就安静了,就剩下王铮和树,而两个人被随机平分了战利品.

角斗场消散,两人依然处于圣殿之中.

One of the Hungry Wolves' bodies exploded into light fragments dissipating on the battlefield, and Wang Zheng's account gained another 18 hours and a few cards. Wang Zheng celebrated. He had finally found the most lucrative job.

The other 5 only responded then. They rushed up as one. Wang Zheng showed no quarter. He slipped like a fish through them, throwing blows that exploded them into fragments.

After a short while, the battlefield was empty, leaving just Wang Zheng and Tree. Both had been allocated the spoils equally.

After the battlefield faded, the two were still in Saint hall.

树望着一脸开心的王铮已经惊呆了,这...到底是人是鬼???

他在圣徒世界几年了,从没听说有初段刀锋诀能战胜高段刀锋诀的,还以一敌六???

最终的战利品让王铮有点无语,"靠,一群穷鬼,竟然还学人收保护费!"

本来出来做这种事儿的,都不会带太多的东西,几张卡片也都是很垃圾的,根本卖不上几个钱.

Tree stared at a beaming Wang Zheng blankly. This… was a devil???

He had been in Saint for a few years, but had never heard of a Basic Stage Blade Skills defeating an Advanced Stage Blade Skills. Furthermore, a 1 v 6???

The final spoils left Wang Zheng speechless. "Damn, a bunch of poor scum. Still trying to collect protection fees?!"

Clearly those that ventured out to do such things would not bring all their valuables with them. The few cards he got were trash, and not worth much at all.

"大...大哥,我这里还有一半,还给你."树打了一个寒战,这人好猛.

王铮摆摆手,"算了,见面分一半,再说没你我也找不到这么好的买卖,下次被人打劫的时候记得通知我."

树呆了...

"黑哥,你很缺钱吗?"树忽然问道.

"当然,我可不是土豪,看你样子也差不多,难道还能支援我?"王铮笑道.

"Big… big brother, I still have half here. I'll return it to you." Tree was shaking with fear now. This person was scary.

Wang Zheng waved it off. "Forget it, we'll split it. Besides, I wouldn't have found such a good deal without you. If you get beaten up next time, let me know."

Tree was stunned…

"Brother Charcoal, are you in need of money?" Tree suddenly asked.

"Of course. I'm no tycoon. From the looks of you, you're in the same boat, aren't you? Could it be that you're going to sponsor me?" Wang Zheng joked.

这人也真是的,被人欺负成那样也忍得住,打不过就跑不就完了.

"黑哥,我看你身手不凡,有挑战赛,你为什么不试试,奖励是一百个小时,以及随机十六度功法卡!"树说道,这个带着黑铁面具的人好奇怪.

按理说,凡是有这样实力的人都不可能混的像他这么落魄.

"哈哈,还有这种好事儿,来,带我去!"一听到一百个小时,王铮眼睛都红了.

This one was something different also. To hold on despite being bullied. Since he couldn't beat them, he could have just run and be done with it.

"Brother Charcoal, I see you're a man of uncommon means. There are challenge competitions. Why don't you try your hand? The prize is 100 hours, and a random 16-tier Martial Arts card!" Tree said. This black-metal-masked man was strange.

Logically, those with such ability were not broke,

"Haha, there's such a thing? Come, bring me!" Hearing 100 hours, Wang Zheng's eyes glowed.

王铮这才知道,自己身上的工具栏实在太少了,门徒层每个月都有各种极限挑战,这是获得时间和功法的最好机会,尤其适合那些天赋极强,但钞票方面又不是很方便的.

王铮和树来的地方人山人海,试炼圣殿.

但凡有点自信有点实力的人,都一定会来这里试试,凭借八度刀锋诀是不可能晋升到信徒层的.

今天开放的试炼是——刀山试炼.

Wang Zheng then found out that his own tool panel was too sparse. Each month, the Disciple level held some limit challenges. This was the best way to get time and martial arts, especially for those who were unbelievably strong, yet inconvenienced in coin.

The place that Wang Zheng and Tree arrived in was crowded. The training Saint hall.

Anybody with a little confidence and ability would come to try their hand here. The 8 Tier Blade Skills alone would not allow one to rise to the Acolyte level.

Today's challenge was – Knife Mountain Trial.
