[Skill Slots Unlocked]

Sword Control Technique?!

Xu Zhiyi's pupils contracted slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.

He suppressed the urge to immediately check the skill details and brought his attention back to reality.

Wang Kai was rushing towards him in a flash.

"Holy crap! Xu Shen!"

"That's awesome!"

"Did you hear that? 10.72 seconds! Holy crap! You broke the record!"

Wang Kai, his face flushed, grabbed Xu Zhiyi's shoulders and stammered excitedly, "You're fucking amazing! You even beat Zhang Peng twice!"

The class monitor and several other classmates also gathered around.

Besides excitement and exhilaration, their faces showed even more disbelief.

Xu Zhiyi was not particularly noticeable in class in the past.

Because he was used to being alone, had a heavy workload of studying, and was busy with odd jobs, he rarely communicated with other classmates and never participated in gatherings among classmates. He would disappear as soon as school was over every day, and his grades were only slightly above average.

In the eyes of many in the class, he was just a bookish nerd with a withdrawn personality.

Before he won the championship, probably no one could have imagined that such an unassuming bookworm would be able to outrun many athletic students in the 100-meter sprint and win the championship with a record-breaking performance!

wrong!

There is still one person.

Across the vast crowd, Xu Zhiyi spotted Lin Wei and her friends approaching at a glance.

Their eyes met, and Lin Wei gave him a thumbs up.

Xu Zhiyi responded with a smile.

If anyone believed he could win before the match, it would probably only be Lin Wei, who knew his physical abilities quite well.

"It seems I underestimated you before." Lin Wei said with a smile, "If you could train seriously, becoming a national first-class athlete wouldn't be difficult at all!"

Coach Zhang from the track and field team has already noticed you, and I reckon he'll be coming to talk to you soon. You can think about it then, whether you want to pursue a special sports admission program.

"Forget it, I was just lucky this time."

Xu Zhiyi had a headache.

He had never considered pursuing a career in sports before.

Practicing sports is too tough.

It takes years of honing a skill, and diet and daily routines must be strictly controlled.

If you let your guard down, months or even years of hard work can be wasted.

"Come on!" Lin Wei rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Do you think you can run 10.72 seconds just by being lucky?"

Xu Zhiyi was speechless.

Just then, Zhang Peng walked over.

His face was somewhat pale, and he looked at Xu Zhiyi with a complicated expression. "You really haven't practiced?"

"I'd say I've trained. I run regularly."

Xu Zhiyi told a little lie.

It wasn't to comfort Zhang Peng, but rather to find a plausible excuse for himself.

Compared to a bookworm who burys himself in his studies breaking the school's 100-meter record, people are more likely to believe that the record was broken by a running enthusiast who regularly goes for a morning run.

Zhang Peng looked somewhat relieved upon hearing his words.

He looked at Xu Zhiyi and said seriously, "You have great athletic talent, you could consider pursuing a career in sports."

"I don't have that plan for now," Xu Zhiyi shook her head.

Zhang Peng sighed, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards his teammates.

Li Rui and the others surrounded them, whispering something and glancing over every now and then. However, their eyes no longer held the previous disdain, but instead showed a hint of seriousness and curiosity.

Looking at the dejected appearance of these athletic students, Wang Kai couldn't help but click his tongue. "Tsk tsk, they're completely different from before the competition!"

As he spoke, he turned to Xu Zhiyi with a mischievous grin and said, "I remember you signed up for more than just the 100 meters, right? Why don't you put in a little more effort and win the championships in the other events too?"

The class monitor's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he chimed in, "Yeah, Xu Zhiyi, you signed up for quite a few projects this time! Come on, it's time to bring glory to the class!"

"I'm a little tired..."

Xu Zhiyi was prepared to politely decline, since he had already completed his mission.

Whether or not we participate in those subsequent projects is irrelevant.

He wasn't the type to show off, so instead of wasting time on competitions he wasn't interested in at all, he'd rather go back to class and do some practice problems!

But just then, a new task notification popped up in the lower left corner of the view:

The Transmission Elder was very pleased with the player's extraordinary potential in the Sect Competition and hoped that the player could shine in different fields and demonstrate superior skills, thus bringing him honor.

[Additional Stage Mission: Winner of the top prize in different areas during this sect competition to receive extra rewards]

[Mission Reward: For each victory, you will receive +300 experience points and +5 silver.]

Xu Zhiyi's eyes lit up.

Winning a championship once will give you 300 experience points and 5 taels of silver!

Putting everything else aside, those 300 experience points alone are equivalent to killing 60 rats or 6 scavengers, and those 5 taels of silver, based on the previous price, are a solid 2500 yuan!

There are many events in the sports meet. If he wins all of them, wouldn't he be able to gain a huge amount of experience and silver?

This is much faster than grinding monsters!

Why not take advantage of a reward that's offered to you?

With this in mind, he decisively changed his tune: "It may be tiring, but since I've already signed up, I still have to participate. It's all about participation!"

"good!"

The squad leader was very pleased and personally brought Xu Zhiyi a bottle of water, saying with a smile, "From now on, we'll be your support team. Just let us know if you need anything!"

"That's right!" Wang Kai's inner chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) kicked in, and he shouted, "We'll take care of logistics. As for the glory of Class 2, Grade 12, we'll leave it to you, Xu Shen, to protect!"

"..."

Xu Zhiyi lowered her head to drink water, pretending not to know this person.

The next race is the men's 200 meters.

It will begin in 10 minutes.

Taking advantage of this short time, Xu Zhiyi opened the game panel.

He first glanced at the experience points.

Current Level: Lv.5 (1830/4000)

1500 experience points have been credited to your account.

Next, he opened the newly added skills bar.

The square icon depicts a gleaming flying sword, with a faint aura swirling around its blade.

[Skill]: Sword Control Technique (Beginner)

[Type]: Imperial Object

[Description]: Using spiritual energy to control a sword or other small bladed weapon, making it fly through the air as easily as an extension of one's arm. The basic Sword Control Technique allows control of one sword, with a maximum control distance of 20 meters. The flight speed and power are affected by the strength of the spiritual energy, skill proficiency, and weapon quality.

[Consumption]: Activation requires 100 points of spiritual energy, and maintaining it consumes 10 points of spiritual energy per second.

[Cooldown Time]: None (can be used as soon as you have enough spiritual energy)

Current proficiency level: 0/100

It's truly sword control!

Xu Zhiyi's heart beat slightly faster.

Although it's only a beginner level, although you can only control one sword, and although the maximum distance is only 20 meters... this is sword control!

If alchemy and weapon crafting are the hallmarks of cultivating immortality, then sword mastery is the soul of cultivating immortality!

Riding the wind on a sword, I vanquish demons across the land!

No cultivation enthusiast can resist the allure of flying on a sword!

Xu Zhiyi was no exception.

He longed to find a sword and try it out immediately, but unfortunately, the current circumstances did not allow it.

Moreover, this skill consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Just activating it requires 100 points of spiritual energy, and maintaining it requires 10 points per second. He currently only has 800 points of spiritual energy, so he can only maintain it for a little over a minute at most.

We need to use it sparingly.

wrong!

This skill seems to be able to level up through proficiency, so he has to use it frequently!
