Skin Bonus? Quick Mastery of Secret Techniques!

Chapter 134 Skin Bonus? Quick Mastery of Secret Techniques!

This kick made Gu Zheng's eyes widen instantly.

"Wow!" I almost threw up all the food I had eaten last night and this morning.

The guards who came with him quickly helped him up.

An Tong and Xu Xian's other two guards looked at Xu Xian with surprise.

Young Master (Prince) has always been eloquent, which is not surprising, but when did he become so good at fighting?

Xu Xian and Gu Zheng were not the only students here; there were also other noble children, including some folk geniuses.

Upon seeing this, some showed fear and quickly moved away, while others' eyes flashed with disgust.

Others came straight over to greet them.

They were the two twins from the Mi family.

The two little girls looked at Xu Xian with adoration.

"Gu Xin, you're amazing!"

"I kicked that jerk away with one kick. Can you teach me how? I want to go up and kick him a couple of times."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng's already unpleasant expression, caused by Xu Xian's kick to the chest, became even more unpleasant.

Xu Xian glanced at the two women, Mi Dai and Mi Su.

It's impossible to tell who's who.

Saying.

How dare you two daughters of marquises provoke Gu Zheng? Is it because of me?

Xu Xian shook his head.

Judging from his original identity, he was not only unruly, but practically lawless.

He just saw some people deliberately avoiding him.

In other words, Gu Xin, the heir apparent, was inherently arrogant and domineering.

"If you dare to jump around in front of me again, I'll beat you every time I see you, understand?" Xu Xian brandished his fist at Gu Zheng.

Mi Dai and Mi Su, the two maids, followed suit and threw two fists at Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng's face paled, and he nodded repeatedly.

His two guards simply lowered their heads, not daring to look Xu Xian in the eye.

After all, this was a matter between the "masters," and they, as subordinates, dared not get involved.

"Let's go in." Xu Xian asked An Tong to lead the way into the Sword Martial Hall.

Not long after, Xu Xian was led into the school.

It is worth mentioning that An Tong is also a student of the Sword Martial Hall.

However, Xu Xian entered based on his royal noble status, while this person entered based on his own merits.

The two did not attend the same school.

Xu Xian, Mi Dai, and Mi Su, along with Gu Zheng and some richly dressed young men and women, were together.

Before the teacher arrived, the two little maids chattered incessantly in Xu Xian's ear.

Xu Xian, on the other hand, heard from the other students about the identities of princes, princesses, and heirs.

Therefore, this school is full of children from the top noble families in the capital.

"The biggest related party".

"Cough cough!" Two coughs came from outside the door.

The entire classroom immediately fell silent, just like when Xu Xian was still in elementary or middle school.

An old scholar entered.

She looks quite refined.

He was holding a ruler in his hand.

He seemed to have the air of someone who would give anyone a good whack if he didn't like them.

After bowing respectfully to his teacher, the old master said softly, "Young masters and ladies, we just learned the Soul Blood Pact last time. Today, I will teach you a new secret technique. Relax your minds and carefully comprehend it!"

Xu Xian looked at the old scholar, still wondering what the other party was going to do.

Then the old master gently pointed forward with his right index finger.

In an instant, wave-like ripples appeared out of thin air.

The ripples spread until they covered the entire house.

Beneath the ripples, all the noblemen in the house, including Xu Xian, entered a strange state.

The old master said calmly, "Our Sword Kingdom was founded on the sword, and we wield the sword to contend for the world and protect humanity. Although the sword is powerful, it must also protect one's own safety. Therefore, this method must be learned."

Xu Xian felt dizzy.

He entered a strange state.

In his dazed state, he seemed to see a special spirit beast he had never seen before.

The other person's body was radiating light.

Immediately afterwards, the beam of light shone directly at him, causing him to be transferred.

Inside the school.

The noblemen all regained consciousness, but Xu Xian still had his eyes closed.

The two little maids, Mi Dai and Mi Su, opened their eyes wide, their expressions incredibly cute.

Gu Zheng looked on with jealousy.

Suddenly, a white light appeared around Xu Xian, which transformed into a transparent sphere of light.

It may seem flimsy, but it gives people an unparalleled sense of security.

"Indeed, Prince Xin's talent remains as strong as ever." The old scholar smiled, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Xu Xian slowly opened his eyes.

Is that all?

Skin enhancement?

He blinked.

With a thought, the power of his soul quickly sketched out fantastical runes in his mind.

Next, the Spiritual Attribute Training Room at Tree City University.

There are only two members in this training room now.

One is Wawa, and the other is Qian Hongwu's spirit beast, the Blue-Eyed White Ape.

Wawa suddenly opened its eyes; it sensed Xu Xian calling it.

It was somewhat puzzled as to why the Beastmaster would ask it to share its energy with him.

And aren't beast tamers supposed to be exploring secret realms?

Although I don't understand, a portion of my power has already been taken away.

The Secret Realm of the Weapon King.

Xu Xian looked at the white halo that had reappeared around him.

Within the halo, there seemed to be a spiritual force, as well as the aura of dragons, water, and even lightning.

Xu Xian was overjoyed upon seeing this.

I never expected this.

Entering this secret realm actually allows me to master the intermediate-level Beast Tamer's secret technique, Life Protection, ahead of others.

With this ability.

Even if someone launches a sneak attack, you can instantly form a defensive circle using the energy of your contracted spirit beast.

As long as the spirit beast's energy is not completely depleted, you can continue to use it.

Of course, the defenses provided by Life Guardian also have limitations.

That is, its defensive power is equivalent to that of the contracted spirit beast whose energy has been borrowed.

And Vawa's defensive capabilities.

If Xu Xian were to stand still and let others attack him, unless it were a spirit beast like Zhou Li's Little Tan Yang, it would be difficult for other high-level spirit beasts to break through his defenses in a short time.

Although he had unknowingly mastered the secrets of beast taming, Xu Xian was overjoyed.

He rose and bowed to the old master, "Master, could you teach me the rest of your secret techniques?"

The old master shook his head and said, "Your Highness should know that haste makes waste, and trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure."

Obviously, that's all for today.

Xu Xian sat down in disappointment.

Besides learning to be a beast tamer.

What followed was a series of tedious formalities that Xu Xian found extremely boring.

After all the classes were over, Xu Xian got up and stretched.

Just then, a little girl whom Xu Xian didn't recognize walked over.

Xu Xian looked at her; she was dressed in gold and silver, and it seemed he had heard that she was some kind of princess.

The little girl frowned and said to Xu Xian with dissatisfaction, "Gu Xin, as a prince, how can you behave so improperly?"

Xu Xian glanced at the rest of the students in the classroom.

First was Gu Zheng, who looked like he was enjoying the show.

Many other people also have this expression.

Xu Xian pondered for a moment.

It seems this girl has a rather unusual background.

He immediately clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "You are right."

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him; a discerning person is a hero.

The girl was taken aback by this.

With a strange expression, he snorted coldly and turned away.

The others were surprised.

Has Gu Xin changed his ways?

"Courage—" Gu Zheng was about to say something sarcastic.

Xu Xian's cold gaze fell directly on him.

What, you're a princess too?

Gu Zheng shivered and quickly lowered his head.

As they left the school, Xu Xian asked one of the girls, Mi Dai and Mi Su, whom he still couldn't distinguish, "Who was that just now?"

Mi Dai was taken aback by the question, "Huh? Gu Xin, how could you forget about her?"

"Uh—" Xu Xian casually made up a story, "Geniuses always have their pros and cons. I have a strong learning ability, but I'm not very good at remembering things and I forget easily. But don't worry, I remember both of you very clearly, the kind of memory I'll never forget for the rest of my life."

"Really!" The two little girls immediately beamed with joy.

Xu Xian silently apologized.

At the same time, he mentally criticized his original identity.

What kind of spell did this guy cast on those two girls that made them stick to him like this?

The little maid Mi Dai said, "That lady just now is His Majesty's youngest daughter, Princess Anning, who is currently the most favored. She has been causing you trouble. You got annoyed by her and talked back to her a few times, and every time you went back, you would get beaten by Grandpa Ying."

At this point, both Mi Dai and Mi Su covered their mouths and laughed.

Mi Su chimed in, "My third sister and I thought you were going to talk back again today and then get a beating when you got back."

Xu Xian pondered silently upon hearing this.

So, the grandfather's name is Gu Ying?

I've never heard of them before; they must just be ordinary members of the royal family.

Furthermore, it seems that his original identity was that of a great genius.

Surprisingly, no one exclaimed in surprise when they comprehended the intermediate-level Beast Tamer's secret technique, Life Guardian. Instead, everyone looked at it as if it were perfectly natural.

So why was there no record of his original identity being so talented in historical texts?

Xu Xian immediately slapped his forehead.

What am I thinking?

There are countless heroes in this world.

Geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

Leaving a mark on history books is never easy.

His original identity certainly prevented him from reaching the level of a monarch.

So, was he a lord-level figure? Or did he die young?

After leaving the Sword Martial Hall, they met up with An Tong.

Mi Dai and Mi Su, the two maids, boarded the carriage. Mi Dai waved and said, "Don't forget the lantern festival tonight!"

Xu Xian nodded.

Even if I forget everything else, I won't forget this.

He was eagerly anticipating what kind of spirit beast the Weapon King would prepare for him.

The other party called it a surprise, and he wanted to see if it could really surprise him.

Soon, it was Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

Xu Xian arrived at the lantern boat early tonight.

The grandfather didn't stop him, he just told him to be careful.

Inside the lantern boat.

The two young maids from the Mi family were there even earlier than him, each carrying pastries.

She looked like she was vying for Xu Xian's favor and was about to feed him.

Xu Xian thought that feeding the two adorable girls was fine too.

As a result, the two women secretly competed with each other, and Xu Xian's mouth was now stuffed full, as if he were being fed like a pig.

He was speechless.

"Haha, Brother Gu is indeed quite lucky with women." Ling Xiao walked in with a smile.

Xu Xian was speechless. "This 'lucky charm' is just wishful thinking."

"Where are the things?" Xu Xian asked.

Ling Xiao was still wearing his clothes; the box from last night was nowhere to be seen.

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised."

Ling Xiao reached into his robes.

It's another box.

But this time it was a small square box, made of what looked like iron, the same material as the iron hammer I saw last night.

Upon learning that the other party was the Empress of Weapons, Xu Xian dared not underestimate her.

Ling Xiao placed the iron box on the wooden floor and opened it in front of Xu Xian and the two girls from the Mi family.

"Click!"

It made the same crisp sound as the long, thin metal box I'd seen before.

The opening sounds are the same, and the internal structure is almost identical.

Four small compartments, four uniquely shaped treasures.

Xu Xian looked at Ling Xiao, waiting for him to introduce them.

Ling Xiao took out one of the items.

It was a crossbow, a very crude old-fashioned crossbow.

Just like the situation inside the long box before, after taking the box out, it immediately grew to its normal size.

But for Xu Xian...

Why don't you change back to your original form? At least you'll look cuter and more petite.

Now that it's bigger, the various rough workmanship defects are simply unbearable to look at.

However, though it's unbearable to look at, this crossbow is no ordinary object.

Ling Xiao smiled and handed the crossbow to Xu Xian, "Wind-Breaking Crossbow, low-grade bronze."

As he spoke, it seemed as if a hawk suddenly appeared on the crossbow.

This is the unified talent of artifact-type spirit beasts.

Without a spirit, a spirit beast of a tool is dead.

Upon receiving the poorly designed crossbow, Xu Xian immediately felt a surge of powerful energy coursing through his body.

I had the same feeling when I held each of the silver-grade spirit swords before.

Once you pick up a sword, you can become a seasoned swordsman, wielding your sword with unparalleled grace and power.

This is also one of the important reasons why the Sword Dynasty's spirit swords became popular throughout the country.

After all, there's no point in agonizingly commanding spirit beasts in battle from the back; it's far more exhilarating to personally lead the charge.

Moreover, spirit swords have very strong defenses.

Therefore, the second secret technique of modern beast tamers is the resonance of cooperation, while the Sword Dynasty, without exception, is all about life protection.

As long as the sword is there, the person will remain.

Each spirit sword has top-tier defensive capabilities among non-spirit sword spirit beasts of the same level, so what's there to be afraid of!

Let's draw our swords and get to work!

Therefore, the entire Sword Dynasty was also the dynasty with the strongest ability to suppress foreign tribes in combat.

Of course, this does not include modern times.

The Dragon Kingdom is now the strongest human power. Without relying on other human nations, the Dragon Kingdom alone is enough to stand on its own in this world and become one of the top powers.

Holding this crossbow, Xu Xian found it more novel than the sword.

He aimed at a certain spot on the lantern boat.

Energy injection.

Then----

That's all!

"No, shoot!" Xu Xian glared at the crossbow in his hand.

But the crossbow's spirit, the eagle, spread its hands (wings) with an innocent look.

Xu Xian was speechless.

So, you're a crossbow, but you can't even fire energy arrows? What good are you then?

Xu Xian glanced at Ling Xiao speechlessly.

Dude, that's quite a surprise!

Ling Xiao smiled awkwardly and quickly took one of the squares out of the box.

Xu Xian initially thought it was a spear, a long spear known as the king of weapons.

As a result, Ling Xiao took it out.

Ok!

Just one arrow.

The arrows are similar to ordinary feathered arrows, with a flying sparrow spirit appearing on the shaft.

"Flying Sparrow Arrow, low-grade bronze," Ling Xiao introduced.

Xu Xian was speechless. "So in order to unleash the power of the Wind-Breaking Crossbow, we also need to rely on the Flying Sparrow Arrow, using two spirit beasts as one?"

'

Dude, do you think I don't need contract slots?

With Xu Xian's current abilities, if he can be patient, he can have another soul even after squeezing out two soul blood contracts.

Of course, this would cause Xu Xian to have a headache and throbbing for at least a period of time.

It's very similar to the situation with Contract Vava.

It's the kind of thing where someone takes a thick, black stick and pokes it around in your head every day; it's incredibly uncomfortable.

However, if it's a spirit beast of a higher species level, Xu Xian wouldn't mind tolerating it.

After all, enjoyment comes after pain.

Now?

You're trying to waste two of my contract slots by bringing two low-grade bronze spirit beasts?

"Cough!" Ling Xiao said, "Don't underestimate them. Their combined strength is extremely powerful. Once you raise them to the peak of the advanced level, even ordinary leader-level spirit beasts will die on the spot from a single attack by the two of them."
