Chapter 8: Peerless Dancer
Chapter 8
Hana has just completed the test and achieved the class of Musician.
Lady Lam and Sword of Love both congratulated her.
This class is actually very useful for the upcoming dungeon.
It has many powerful control skills and also offers stable recovery abilities.
"Hana, you're amazing! I'll reward you with an outfit from the shop. Go ahead and choose one!" Sword of Love laughing while patting Hana's head.
"You said it! I won't be polite!"
Hana happily opened the clothing shop.
Online games always have ways to extract money, after all.
One of those ways is selling character outfits.
Hana was drawn to this game in the first place because of the attractive outfits.
Many outfits are designed by players themselves and then added to the game.
She also wants to create her own outfit!
Ting
The system suddenly announced.
✧【Limited Event: Xiyu is now selling class outfits, the clothing shop will feature Xiyu Dancer outfit cards with customizable colors.】✧
"Wow...!! So beautiful!!"
The Xiyu Dancer outfit has long captivated players; the revealing jewelry and clothing are truly alluring, with many female players desiring to wear it.
"Oh. Class outfits?"
Sword of Love was extremely intrigued.
Class outfits are outfits available for sale to players with related classes.You can consider it as a "faction uniform."
However, developers need to make money too. They definitely know how to monetize.
The "faction uniforms" will be available to purchase or as card draws in the shop, using in-game purchases.
And they are indeed very beautiful.
By now, the world chat had started showing numerous angry messages.
✧【West Beauty: What is the Blade Dancer class, and how can I change to it!? I play the game because of the outfits that the Xiyu Dancers wear, but now it's limited to certain classes!???】✧
✧【Model Student: There was a notification just now about a player changing class to Blade Dancer. It seems that's how the class outfits got unlocked.】✧
✧【West Beauty: Can you share that person's ID?】✧
✧【Confused Drinker: They've blocked messages from strangers. I tried messaging earlier but couldn't.】✧
Sword of Love looked at the Xiyu Dancer outfit and turned to ask Hana.
"If you switch to this one, but for males, what would it look like? Maybe No One would wear it."
Lady Lam also curiously looked on.
Hana directly selected the male outfit setting.
Pfft.
What is this?
So revealing!
Way too revealing!
What is this shirtless vest ?
-
"Aaaa~~~"
"A beauty glides like a lotus petal."
"The world marvels and sighs in awe."
"The song ends with a decisive farewell."
"Peerless Dancer, reigns supreme~~"
No One stood there, captivated by the mesmerizing dance of the figure before him.
It felt as if an emperor could offer the entire nation to this beauty.
There was an illusion that the whole world lay within her palm.
The flawless blade movements within that dance left almost no gaps.
In the illusion, wisps of smoke seemed to form countless soldiers charging at the beauty.
But the blade strikes, like tearing through the void, destroyed them all one by one.
This was the Heavenly Demon In Black, the leader of the Society In Black.
Yet at this moment, No One seemed oblivious to anything else but the dance.
"A graceful beauty like flowing water."
"The world marvels and sighs in awe."
"Impossible to sever, hearts in turmoil."
"Peerless Dancer, reigns supreme~"
The song concluded. The music from the cube stopped.
No One's heart involuntarily raced before the beauty.
She gracefully approached and gently kissed his cheek.
"Thank you, disciple, for gifting me such lovely music. Consider this dance a gift from your master."
"Learn as much as you can."
She tossed the pair of daggers to the ground, embedding them in the earth.
In a fleeting moment, like mist or a shadow, the woman vanished.
Leaving No One in the empty hall.
The system window buzzed with notifications continuously.✧【Entry Quest: Peerless Dancer, Reigning Supreme has been activated!】✧
✧【Requirement: Comprehend the Blade Dance First Form.】✧
✧【NEW: Received 『Blessing of the Peerless Dancer』】✧
✧【Effect: While performing the dance, evasion increases by 100% for the first strike that you endured. - Effect remains as long as the player holds the Blade Dancer class.】✧
No One looked at the two daggers embedded in the ground and pulled them up with his hands.
✧【Yin Yang Twin Daggers】✧ - Epic Weapon Lv69.
✧【The entry-level weapon of the Blade Dancer recognized by the Heavenly Demon In Black. It is said that it can sever the sun and moon, turning day into night, and night into day.】✧
Receiving a golden weapon as an entry gift. How impressive.
This game does not clearly display weapon stats for all players. Weapon descriptions will only have such brief lines.
To know how much damage it causes, one must either engage in actual combat or practice on training dummies.
But to clearly see the stats or effects, it is only possible through the 【Heavenly Secret Transformation】 of a Taoist or the 【Magic Appraisal】 of a Mage.
The Mages earn a considerable amount of money when offline from this automatic appraisal work.
No One stood in the middle of the grand hall.
The mist began to spread out again.However, it glowed red, signaling danger.
He was not mistaken.
The woman, the Heavenly Demon In Black, had just performed the First Form of the Blade Dance.
Now it was No One's turn to use these twin daggers to confront the myriad phantom soldiers.
Alright. Time to learn the mechanics.
No One tossed the cube into the air, and the music began to play once more.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
A roar nearly dispersed the floating mist, but it reformed in just an instant.
"Peerless Dancer. Reigning supreme over the world~"
No One couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to see what this class had in store.
Suddenly, a chat message popped up next to No One.
✧【Heavenly Demon In Black: In my grand hall, such mundane sounds are not permitted.】✧
✧【NEW: Received 『Punishment of the Peerless Dancer』】✧
✧【Effect: Lose 1% health every second.】✧
✧【Heavenly Demon In Black: You have 1 minute and 40 seconds to complete this test. Less if you get hit.】✧
...
No One was at a loss for words.
"My lady, may I apologize?"
What to learn at this moment ? That's too short !
The process of learning mechanics involves trial and error.
To understand the mechanics of something, you have to repeatedly watch it in action.
Watch tutorial videos, watch others repetitively until the behavior is understood.
No One was ready to try a hundred times if necessary to perfectly overcome this challenge.
He didn't expect that there would now be only 1 minute and 40 seconds.
If he died outright, he feared his favor with the Heavenly Demon In Black would plummet.
No One took a deep breath. He immediately charged into the mist.
There was no time left.
He slashed through the mist with his blade.
But that's exactly what happened.
The blade cut through the screen of mist.
The mist soldier in front of him suddenly materialized, thrusting a spear straight at his face.
Reacting in time, he dodged aside, but it grazed him, leaving a wound on his face.
Time had now decreased.
What was going on? Earlier, the Heavenly Demon In Black had clearly dispelled the mist directly.
But his blade only pushed the mist away.
Suddenly, a voice began to sing.
The voice, it's that of the Heavenly Demon In Black!
It felt as though the sound was being transmitted directly into his ears, even though the voice continued to rise ceaselessly.
It echoed throughout the grand hall. Yet, there was absolutely no trace of a figure.
It's like the song is echoing to the entire world.
