Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 148 A Corner of the Truth in the Dream World

"too slow!"

"Is this the limit of your knife?"

"No! No way at all!"

In the empty playground, Ji Huai's low roar rang out from time to time, and the weapons in his hands changed in various ways without leaving any trace. Every time Qin Chuan regrouped and picked up the knife, he would be defeated within five rounds.

It seemed as if the successful thirty rounds of sword fighting with Ji Huai yesterday was just Qin Chuan's illusion.

However, Qin Chuan knew that this was just the beginning of Ji Huai's real abilities.

What he displayed at this moment was his peak level of skills.

The one standing in front of him at this moment is the true master of weapons.

"clang--"

Along with another sound of metal clashing, Qin Chuan only felt that the soft sword in Ji Huai's hand was like a snake, and its force was wrapped around the saber in his hand. With a flick, the saber flew out of his hand uncontrollably and slanted into the ground ten meters away.

"We still need to practice more." Ji Huai calmly retracted his weapon and gave his evaluation for today.

Qin Chuan: “…”

hateful!

It has to be said that today's Ji Huai did suppress his somewhat arrogant mentality. He originally thought that he could take on Ji Huai for thirty rounds and that he would have few rivals.

Ji Huai, who was about to leave, seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Qin Chuan. "If you have a spirit beast that can use a long sword, you can teach him the basic skills of swordsmanship."

What if? You obviously know the ins and outs of ice cream, right?

Qin Chuan complained silently, and at the same time he responded with joy in his heart, knowing that this was Ji Huai's recognition of him. At least in terms of the basic knife skills, his teaching of Xue Gao was not off track.

Thinking of one of the reasons why he originally learned sword skills from Ji Huai, Qin Chuan couldn't help but look forward to it.

During this period, he not only combined the knowledge from the extraordinary theory class to teach Splash how to use the blood control ability, but also immediately taught Splash any new insights he had when using Splash's skills in real life to help her become stronger.

The many new changes that have taken place in the Manjuantian Waterfall under the blessing of Cangzong are the results.

On the other hand, although Ice Cream was very strong, Qin Chuan was unable to teach it anything.

After all, Ice Cream's ability is too extreme. Although it is an ice-type, it cannot learn many of the ice-type's attack methods.

It only has Frost Break, and it only needs Frost Break.

Thinking about the time when he was pointing out the splash water during his travels, Ice Cream was watching from the side with a hint of envy occasionally showing in his eyes, Qin Chuan felt that this would be good news for it.

When he came to his senses again, Ji Huai had already left.

It was already very late, and Qin Chuan did not dare to stay for too long. He hurried home, quickly washed up, went to bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
-
"boom!!!"

As soon as he entered the dream world, Qin Chuan heard a loud bang.

The giant Articuno that was split into two by the ice cream fell heavily on the snowy field, causing Yue Li, who had just regained consciousness, to exclaim in surprise.

"I really won?!" She widened her eyes in surprise, looking even more adorable, "He killed Articuno in one blow?!"

"I said it, believe me." Looking at Yue Li's dazed look, Qin Chuan was in a good mood and spoke with a smile.

As they spoke, words appeared in front of their eyes at the same time.

[Challenge successful]

[Congratulations to the player for defeating the Grand Master Lv36 Articuno] It seems that an attack completed by stopping time can also be considered a successful challenge.

After confirming this, Qin Chuan was in a good mood and walked quickly towards the place where the corpse of the giant Articuno fell.

As the words appeared, the giant Articuno corpse that fell to the ground turned into a point of light and dissipated, leaving only a glittering spindle-shaped ice crystal in its place.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the advanced resource: Quick Frozen Crystal]

After weighing the icy cold crystal in his hand, Qin Chuan casually embedded it into the ice cream's advanced formation.

One fifth of the advanced formation was lit up, and Xue Gao couldn't help cheering when he felt his own ice power being strengthened.

It was not until this moment that Yue Li, who was following closely, reacted belatedly.

"Didn't they say that the spirit beasts in the town cannot be killed?"

"Hmm..." Qin Chuan couldn't explain this problem. He just killed and didn't care about burying. "Maybe it's a bug?"

"Then what if other players need to challenge Articuno in the future?" Yue Li's mouth twitched slightly, and a strange look appeared on her face.

"Let's try it?" Qin Chuan felt a little guilty after hearing this. "During the previous challenge, Articuno was injured, but he recovered in seconds after the challenge ended. Maybe he can do it now..."

As he spoke, he found himself unable to continue.

He was cut in half and disappeared instantly, how could he come back to life?

"Let's give it a try." Yue Li glanced at Qin Chuan, as if she was holding back her laughter and wanted to see how he would do it, and strode out of the territory of the giant Articuno.

Qin Chuan followed him out, and then the two of them turned around with their spirit beasts and entered the territory again.

"呷-"

Listening to the familiar cry and watching the big Articuno that had clearly been cut in half by the ice cream fly high up from the top of the mountain and fly towards the two of them as if nothing had happened, Qin Chuan and Yue Li's expressions froze at the same time.

Qin Chuan quickly left the territory and watched the giant Articuno fly back to the top of the mountain and finally disappear. He turned to look at Yue Li, "Could there be a giant Articuno nest up there with a group of giant Articunos living in it?"

"Obviously, it's the same one." Yue Li pursed her lips slightly, also shocked by the scene before her. "Even if it's the same kind of spirit beast, there will be some differences in appearance between the individuals."

"The big Articuno just now is exactly the same as the one you killed."

"Okay." After extinguishing the last bit of luck, Qin Chuan's eyes became a little serious, "The town's spiritual beast, is it a real spiritual beast?"

He began to doubt this.

Challenging the town's spirit beasts is completely different from killing spirit beasts in the past. As long as you enter the territory of the town's spirit beast, it will be regarded as the beginning of the challenge. The town's spirit beast will appear in front of them after experiencing exactly the same appearance method.

The special challenge rules make the town's spirit beasts appear unfamiliar to the players in every battle, giving players the opportunity to trial and error again and again.

Also, the town’s spirit beasts will immediately return to their original state after the challenge is over.

The challenge rules state that "the town's spirit beasts cannot be killed." This does not mean that you cannot kill the opponent during the challenge, but that even if you kill it, it will be resurrected after the challenge is over.

If many places in the dream world behave like games, then this one must be the most game-like one.

He really couldn't imagine that a spiritual beast that could easily recover from injuries or even revive could really exist.

"Perhaps, it really isn't." Yue Li stared at the top of the snowy mountain, a thoughtful look in her eyes, "The behavior of the town's spirit beasts is very programmed, like a pre-set program, it will only execute according to the set steps."

"I have a guess." She looked at Qin Chuan, "Maybe this giant Articuno really exists somewhere."

"But the one in front of us is just its projection."
