Chapter 59: Galaxy Blade
Sword of Love is at the Phantom Blade Palace.
This is the headquarters of his Class.
Phantom Blade is a sword sect belonging to Mount Hua.
In this Job Change event, Mount Hua only has one class that can change.
Phantom Blade.
The mountain at Kunlun, home to the Flying Blade practitioners, is somewhat more crowded.
Most Flying Blades belong to the Wudang and Kunlun sects.
The unique aspect of the Extreme East sword faction skills is that...
They are quite limited in their effects.
If the Priests of the Extreme West are capable of resisting fear and avoiding certain death,
Then the Extreme East sword factions provide abilities with almost negligible impact.
[Mount Hua Outer Sword Technique]
[Basic sword technique of Mount Hua. Increases sword damage by 10%. Increases movement speed by 5%]
It's the same for other sects.
[Wudang Outer Sword Technique]
[Basic sword technique of Wudang. Increases sword damage by 5%. Increases defense by 5%]
[Kunlun Outer Sword Technique]
[Basic sword technique of Kunlun. Increases sword damage by 20%]
The key point here is the term "Outer."
Many Sword Cultivators previously questioned this, wondering how to become an "Inner" disciple and learn better sword techniques from Mount Hua.
After this Almighty Technique update, it's now clear.
The sword factions in the First World are cautious of outsiders.
They haven't yet trusted them enough to impart the true martial arts inheritance of their sects.Player skills in their Class are, in essence, not the true martial arts of the factions they belong to.
To be accurate, the players from the Far Lands can be seen as "mercenaries" sent by the Far Lands Association rather than true disciples of the sects.
However, after the event where the Immortal Blade acknowledged the players from the Far Lands, they gathered to discuss and finally agreed.
They placed their trust in these outsiders.
Therefore, to obtain the sword techniques of the factions, players must sacrifice their old Class skills to use the Almighty Technique function.
At that point, the player will officially earn the title of Inner Disciple, and with excellent performance in the Job Change, even become a True Disciple.
Sword of Love is currently at the Phantom Blade Palace, seeking to acquire the Almighty Technique.
This action will greatly limit the number of skills he has. However, the skills obtained should not be inferior.
Among the three sword factions, Kunlun's Almighty Technique offers ranged skills along with control abilities.
Wudang's Almighty Technique has strong defensive and area-wide skills.
Mount Hua's Almighty Technique deals high melee damage.
According to the information No One read for him since he is too lazy to browse the internet.
The Swordsman will retain the skills 【Steadfast】and 【Sudden Strike】.
The Sword Cultivator retains 【Sword Qi】and 【Qi Return】.
As for the Evasion skill, all previous Classes have retained it. However, all evasion skills share the same cooldown period.
Among the commonly used skills, 【Chasing Sword】 is lost.
A strong control skill that pushes away and stuns upon wall contact.
However, both Mount Hua's and Kunlun's Almighty Techniques have replacement skills for it.
Wudang, on the other hand, never needed Chasing Sword from the start because the Flying Blade practitioner already has plenty of knockback skills.
Sword of Love paid respects to the palace master of the Phantom Blade Palace in the Grand Hall.
Void Master,
"Greetings, Master. I have come to request to become an Inner Disciple of the Phantom Blade Palace and to be taught the sect's Almighty Technique."
Void Master nodded.
"After the incident with the Immortal Blade, the sword sects have gradually become more accepting of those from afar. With your exceptional talent, I welcome you even more."
"I will give you an opportunity."
Void Immortal waved his hand.
A Sword Cultivator entered the hall.
"This is my True Disciple, Understanding Stream."
"If you face him and earn my recognition, you will become a True Disciple."
"If not, you will remain as an Inner Disciple of the Phantom Blade Palace."
"The duration of the duel will influence the result."
Sword of Love bowed in respect, then drew his sword.
【Lv.79 Xiao Xie】
Is an NPC.
Understanding Stream drew his sword.
The blade was jet black.
Its edges were invisible.
Inside the darkness, tiny, sparkling stars could be seen.
"This is the sword technique of the Phantom Blade Palace, 【Galaxy Blade】."
"Junior Brother, be careful."
Xiao Xie charged forward.
Sword of Love also charged forward.
Neither was willing to be on the defensive.
CLANG.
CLANG.
CLANG.
CLANG.
The two swords clashed against each other.
And then clashed again.
Continuously creating that familiar sound.
Yet strangely,
Neither could execute a counterattack.
It became a duel of swords.
With X being the point of impact to inflict damage.
Usually, a normal attack has a very short animation, like 1 2 X.
Compared to other skills with longer animations, like 1 2 3 4 X or 1 2 3 X, or even 1 2 3 4 5 6 X.
So, by following up with a normal attack after the enemy's skill, it can clash at the damage point, triggering a parry.
But earlier, the slash was just as fast as Sword of Love's strike.
1 2 X.
The shortest damage activation time in the current game.
Thus, the two attacks met at the same point.
With equal animation timing.
This resulted in a duel, causing both weapons to be knocked back.
Sword of Love seemed to realize something.
"So that's how it is. Phantom Blade is truly extraordinary," he smiled.
"Junior Brother, it seems you've spotted the key point of the GalaxyBlade, haven't you?" Xiao Xie raised his sword in a defensive stance.
He didn't just notice it.
He saw it clearly.That's why he noticed the terrifying nature of this Sword Technique.
"Earlier was just a warm-up; now you face the true technique of the Phantom Blade Palace."
Sword of Love directly swept his sword.
CLANG.
Sword of Love's blade was knocked back.
It was a parry.
Since this update, NPCs can actually parry players.
Then Understanding Stream curved his sword upward in a different direction.
He bit his lip and smiled.
He drew his remaining sword to block the next strike.
"1 X. This update has so many interesting elements."
1 X.
Meaning the time from execution to inflicting damage is extremely short.
Typically, normal attacks are the hardest to counter.
Because the speed of normal attacks is higher compared to skills.
Depending on the class, many factions have a medium attack speed of around 1 2 3 X.
But for Sword Cultivators, the attack speed is very high.
1 2 X.
The rules of the counterattack are as follows:
The attack impacts the weapon or object causing damage, not the person executing it.
Execute after the intended strike to counter. If done simultaneously, it results in a weapon clash, nullifying damage on both sides.
The damage point coincides with the parry's damage point.- Only a few ranged attacks can be countered. Countering in these cases only blocks the damage and effects.
Xiao Xie's current slashes were able to counter normal attacks.
This means it has reached the highest attack speed in the current game.
1 X.
【Galaxy Blade】
【Consumes mana every second, increases skill attack execution speed.】
The game information is simply stated like that.
So many newcomers or those not playing Sword Cultivators frequently don't grasp the weight of these words.
Choosing the Phantom Blade class is undoubtedly the right choice.
This sword technique will reach unimaginable speeds in the First World!
Sword of Love took hold of his sword.
He stabbed a sword into the ground.
Assumed a defensive stance.
"Senior brother, I apologize. That skill truly makes me crave becoming a True Disciple even more."
Understanding Stream shook his head.
"There's nothing to apologize for; just use your full strength. If you are worthy, you will achieve it."
Sword of Love nodded.
"I will show you my strength."
The timer was currently at 24 seconds.
Sword of Love charged directly forward.
Let have a quick victory.
At that moment, a sword strike from Sword of Love had already swept forward.Xiao Xie then swung his sword downward.
【Hidden Technique of The Phantom Blade: No Thought】
As the sword sliced through, it was suddenly surrounded by in a misty haze.
"This is...!"
Pause.
Sword of Love used No Thought to cancel the animation.
The slash, which was supposed to counter Sword of Love's attack, couldn't be executed.
Just as the slash was about to land, he canceled the animation.
Not after the attack had succeeded, but before the damage was triggered.
1 2 X was supposed to be parried.
He directly executed 1 2 1 2 X, sacrificing one instance of damage.
This made the slash unable to be countered.
"I learned alot while facing the Phantom of The Immortal Blade."
This technique Sword of Love practiced to nullify the counterattacks of the Phantom of The Immortal Blade.
The slash caused Xiao Xie to pause momentarily.
Enough for Sword of Love to activate a skill.
【Qi Return】
The distance between the two was already in close quarters.
A direct clash occurred, causing a stun.
"Junior Brother, what is the meaning of this!?" Xiao Xie was surprised.
Sword of Love gained a complete advantage with that animation cancel.
But then he directly used Qi Return, causing both to be stunned.Suddenly, Sword of Love assumed a posture to cast a skill.
【Retreat Sword】
He retreated, putting some distance between himself and Xiao Xie.
Xiao Xie was bewildered.
So that's it.
A technique that only foreigners could utilize.
An escape skill!
Locals weren't taught this technique.
【Heavenly Phantom Blade】
Xiao Xie, who was stunned, was directly drawn in.
"This Sword..."
Sword of Love drew into a sword-drawing stance.
That sound, all too familiar to Xiao Xie.
This is a technique every Phantom Blade must know.
【This Sword, Shall Cleave Not Men But The Principles.】
Slice.
A cut pierced deeply into Xiao Xie's flesh.
The Grand Hall had suppressions in place. NPCs wouldn't die.
While stunned, it was impossible to parry.
Blade Slash directly drained a large portion of Xiao Xie's health.
At that moment, Retreat Sword reactivated.
Sword of Love instantly teleported over, stunning Understanding Stream before he could move a finger.
CCs was seamlessly maintained.
A sword slash landed, followed immediately by an upward strike.The stun duration from Retreat Sword was just enough for a single slash and an upthrust.
Adding any extra animations would create an opening for the enemy to escape.
The sword in Sword of Love's hand executed a beautifully elegant arc into the air.
【Phoenix Soaring】
The sword on the ground was immediately reached and picked up by Sword of Love with a swift motion.
The airborne time was just right for the gliding maneuver.
【Phoenix Dance】
The fiery dual swords thus continued their assault on Understanding Stream.
Phoenix Dance kept the enemy suspended in the air for a little longer.
Just as Understanding Stream was about to touch the ground, another sword strike landed.
Draining the remaining life force entirely.
【Making Love with the Sword - 00:29:07】
The trial is completed.
