Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A month and a half later, in an empty square in Yicheng Base City.
“In the past month and a half, you seem to have chosen all the awesome people in our base city.” Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao, who was carrying two Thousand Mechanisms Umbrellas on his back, and said with a smile, “You’re not looking for me today to challenge me, are you?”
“It’s not a challenge.” Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan calmly. “I’m looking for you to hone my fighter jet skills.”
“Is there a difference?” The corners of Jiang Shan’s mouth twitched twice, clearly speechless at Mo Xiao’s words.
“Yes.” Mo Xiao nodded lightly and said, “Challenges determine victory and defeat, and the loser loses face. Sparring is just for fun. Victory or defeat doesn’t matter.”
Hearing this, Jiang Shan opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond. “You sure know how to talk.”
“So, shall we spar?” Without waiting for Jiang Shan’s answer, an invitation to spar appeared in front of him.
“Then, let’s fight.” Looking at the interface in front of him, Jiang Shan directly clicked accept.
He had not seen Mo Xiao for a month and a half.
He didn’t know exactly how strong Mo Xiao was, but he knew one thing. This kid’s level had definitely increased.
His combat ability must have been greatly enhanced.
“Come on, let me see how much you’ve improved in the past month and a half!”
[Ding, Jiang Shan accepted your invitation to spar!]
[The sparring is about to begin! Please be prepared!]
As the system prompt sounded, Mo Xiao quickly took down the Thousand Mechanisms Umbrella from behind him.
Mo Xiao’s hands shook slightly, and the two Thousand Mechanisms Umbrellas transformed.
The surface of the umbrella quickly shrank and slid down, turning into a small sword case. In a few breaths, the slender umbrella turned into an exquisite long sword. n/-o/(v.-E//l(.b/-1.-n
As for the other one, the umbrella expanded, and the handle instantly shortened, directly transforming into a shield half the height of a person, protecting Mo Xiao.
Looking at the weapon in Mo Xiao’s hand, Jiang Shan raised his eyebrows. “Is this the Thousand Mechanisms Umbrella? It can transform into various weapons. It’s indeed the most suitable weapon for solo players.”
As Jiang Shan spoke, a light flashed in his hand and a dagger instantly appeared in his hand.
[The battle begins!]
With the system’s order, Jiang Shan instantly disappeared.
On the other hand, Mo Xiao suddenly turned around and slapped the shield in his hand horizontally.
“Ding!”
A sound of metal collision rang out.
Jiang Shan’s attack was instantly blocked by Mo Xiao’s shield.
[Shield Form: When you resist the opponent’s attack at the perfect time, you will be immune to 100% damage.]
“Perfect block?” Jiang Shan was momentarily stunned upon seeing this.
While he was in a daze, the longsword in Mo Xiao’s hand slashed horizontally at Jiang Shan.
Without another word, Jiang Shan instantly activated his skill, and his entire body instantly split into two positions as if he had teleported.
-1,000
As soon as he pulled away, he felt a sharp pain in his thigh. Mo Xiao, who should have been unable to reach him, had actually stabbed his calf.
Just as Jiang Shan was feeling strange, he suddenly realized that the longsword in Mo Xiao’s hand had unknowingly turned into a long spear, and the attack range had instantly increased by several times. Not to mention two bodies, even Mo Xiao, who was five bodies, could stab him.
“Wow, can you switch weapon forms during an attack?” Seeing this, Jiang Shan couldn’t help but exclaim.
Mo Xiao nodded. “Yes, 1 specially didn’t hit your weakness. Let’s fight for a while longer.”
“...” Jiang Shan’s facial muscles twitched when he heard Mo Xiao’s words. “1 was wondering why your damage was so low. It seems like you’re letting me...”
“No, 1 just want to fight with you for a while longer.”
As Mo Xiao spoke, another mechanical deformation sound sounded in his hand. The sharp blade at the top of the spear directly turned into a dazzling crystal.
“A staff?”
[Staff Form: Increases control time by 100%, increases magic effects by 100%, and reduces casting speed by 100%!]
“Flame Entanglement!”
In an instant, Jiang Shan felt a wave of heat beside him as countless fiery vines appeared out of thin air and entwined him.
Seeing this, Jiang Shan’s body suddenly became illusory, and then he soared into the sky, leaving behind an afterimage on the ground, causing the fiery vines to miss their target. He then rushed towards Mo Xiao once more.
However, just as he took his second step, he suddenly noticed a small pit that had appeared on the otherwise smooth ground, right where he was about to land.
This small pit happened to be at his foothold. In the next moment, he stepped into it and tumbled to the ground.
“Buzz!”
The moment he fell, a strange sound of energy gathering slowly sounded. Jiang Shan suddenly looked up.
The weapon in Mo Xiao’s hand had already turned into two hand cannons and was rapidly accumulating power.
[Cannon Form: Obtains the ability to accumulate power to attack. After accumulating power, it can cause 150% physical attack and 150% magical attack.]
“Bang! Bang!”
Accompanied by the sound of two cannonballs being fired, two huge explosions instantly erupted near Jiang Shan.
-600
-600
Obviously, Mo Xiao had held back again and slightly moved the muzzle of the cannon to avoid killing Jiang Shan directly.
After observing Mo Xiao for a while, Jiang Shan grinned. “Interesting. Can 1 have some fun with you?”
“Okay.” Mo Xiao nodded, but before he could say anything, Jiang Shan disappeared again.
Seeing Jiang Shan suddenly disappear, Mo Xiao felt a sharp pain behind him before he could react.
[-300]
“Good lord, your defense is quite high. This slash only took 300 HP from you?” Hearing Jiang Shan’s voice, Mo Xiao immediately turned around, but he did not see Jiang Shan’s figure.
“Swoosh!”
[-200]
Another sound of rushing air, and Jiang Shan’s attack struck again. Even with Mo Xiao’s rapid reflexes, he couldn’t keep up with Jiang Shan’s movements.
“Don’t tell me you really think I’m a Muggle?” Jiang Shan’s figure slowly appeared, but what appeared were two Jiang Shans. “I’m sorry, level 77 Phantom Hunters specialize in speed.”
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
As he spoke, two more air-piercing sounds sounded.
“Ding! Ding!”
The Thousand Mechanisms Umbrella in Mo Xiao’s hand had transformed into dagger form, swiftly blocking Jiang Shan’s attacks.
[Dagger Form: Attack Speed increased by 300%! Critical hit effect increased by 100%!]
“You blocked that?” The two Jiang Shans looked at Mo Xiao with incomparable surprise.
He hadn’t expected this kid to keep up with his attack speed.
Although this was a game, Jiang Shan’s attack angles were quite tricky, and Mo Xiao shouldn’t have been able to react so quickly to them.
In the split second that Jiang Shan was stunned, Mo Xiao suddenly appeared in front of him and his equipment seemed to disappear. He then delivered a powerful punch to Jiang Shan’s chest..
