Chapter 29
Tenderness
Having narrowly escaped a frenzied barrage of claw attacks from the dried corpse, Ling Yao heard Su Yi's low, reciting poetry and couldn't help but curse him furiously:
"Are you crazy? The person is about to die, what kind of poetry are you reciting?!"
What does a little girl like you know?
How can one become a revered person without reciting poetry?
After reciting the poem, Su Yi, full of pride, shouted, "Get out of the way, it's my turn to show off!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yao immediately retreated, but the dried corpse followed closely and pounced on her.
"call out!"
A water arrow flew through the air with a whooshing sound and slammed into the dried corpse.
The water arrow, which couldn't even break through the dried corpse's defenses, directly sent the dried corpse flying and pinned it hard to the stone slab!
Ling Yao, who was retreating rapidly, stared in astonishment at the dried corpse nailed to the stone slab and stopped.
She looked at Su Yi in disbelief, and what shocked her even more was that she couldn't even see what level Su Yi had reached!
How is that possible?
In such a short time, he broke through?
Why? Is it because of the poem he just recited?
But that poem was clearly a jumbled mess, yet it helped him break through to a higher realm?
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll charge you!" Su Yi strolled over to Ling Yao and placed her hand on Ling Yao's fluffy head.
"You, you, you..." Ling Yao still looked at Su Yi in disbelief, repeating "you" several times, but couldn't say anything more.
Su Yi smiled arrogantly, looked at the astonished Ling Yao, and said in a low voice, "I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be exposed. I'll lay my cards on the table, this genius is heaven..."
The dried corpse, pinned to the stone slab by a water arrow, roared, interrupting Su Yi's show-off act!
"Hmph! You beast!" Su Yi turned her head and looked at the dried corpse that had smashed the water arrow, and snorted coldly.
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she coldly commanded, "System, upgrade my Water Arrow Technique!"
"Ding! Water Arrow Technique has been upgraded to Beginner Level!"
"Ding! Water Arrow Technique has been upgraded to Proficiency!"
"Ding! Water Arrow Technique has been upgraded to Mastery!"
"Ding! Water Arrow Technique has been upgraded to Grandmaster level. Insufficient experience required! Upgraded to Proficiency (19000/200000)!"
Su Yi, who was enjoying her swagger, suddenly looked dejected and felt like she couldn't breathe properly.
"Damn it! I messed up, I leveled up too much, give me back my experience points!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't show off anymore, please, give me back my experience points!"
Su Yi looked at herself, who had once been incredibly wealthy, with tears welling up in her eyes, her experience points instantly depleted.
Who the hell would upgrade the most basic Water Arrow technique to Grandmaster level?
Thinking back to the vague instructions he had given to the system just now in an attempt to show off, he realized...
I just want to slap myself twice, secretly cursing myself for showing off to the system for no reason, not even finishing my sentence!
Ling Yao looked at Su Yi, who had a mysterious expression, and suddenly her face changed, looking as miserable as if she had eaten shit. She thought that Su Yi's forced advancement in cultivation level had some side effects.
The dried corpse was now very close to Su Yi, who couldn't help but scream and instinctively covered her eyes.
"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?"
"I'm shooting! Shooting! Shooting!"
After mentally chanting "retreat experience" for a long time to no avail, Su Yi unleashed her pent-up anger on the dried-up corpse in front of her.
The water arrow technique at the master level has now undergone a qualitative change.
Not only is there no cooldown time, allowing for continuous firing, but it also consumes less true energy and is even several levels more powerful!
Su Yi pointed her fingers like swords at the dried corpse, her face contorted with rage as she tried to vent all her anger over lost experience points on the corpse before her.
With his mastery of water arrows, the arrows shot out like spears, instantly turning the dried corpses into sieves.
Su Yi finally stopped breathing heavily after watching the dried corpse's head explode with a water arrow and it fall to the ground.
The central chamber of the cemetery was now a scene of utter devastation. Everywhere were deep craters, the size of bowls, created by the water arrows.
"Bang!"
The steaming spring in the middle of the central chamber was also inexplicably hit by three water arrows.
The powerful water arrow technique altered the internal structure of the spring, causing the spring, which was originally ankle-high, to instantly spout a fountain!
"Are you...are you alright?" Looking at Su Yi, whose eyes were bloodshot and who was panting heavily, Ling Yao couldn't help but take a step back, afraid that the other party would shoot her through with a water arrow!
Su Yi turned to look at Ling Yao indifferently, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she instantly clutched her chest and knelt on the ground.
Ling Yao exclaimed in surprise and quickly stepped forward to support Su Yi, who weakly said, "I've overdrawn my potential too much, and my body's true energy is too depleted, cough cough cough..."
"What should we do?" Ling Yao asked anxiously, her voice trembling with worry that she wouldn't be able to eat braised pork knuckle that night. She didn't even notice Su Yi's darting eyes.
Su Yi said weakly and haltingly, "I'll need about 69 low-grade spirit stones, cough cough cough, to... to recover!"
Ling Yao instantly stopped crying, looked indifferently at Su Yi who was coughing up so much she felt like she was going to vomit, and calmly released her grip, saying, "Oh, then go die!"
That's bad, too greedy. He called out the number of spirit stones he had just given to Ling Yao.
Su Yi's eyes darted around, and she said weakly, "No need for so many, 50 spirit stones will do!"
"10!"
Seeing Ling Yao turn to leave, Su Yi panicked: "Hey, I did exhaust my own resources to forcibly raise my cultivation level to save you, so at least give me some compensation for my emotional distress!"
"call out!"
A low-grade spirit stone landed at Su Yi's feet, as if it were a beggar being given a handout.
Su Yi, now a powerful cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, was instantly enraged. One? Are you trying to fob me off like this?
I'm a great cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining now!
1 piece? ! !
One item is worth 1000 experience points!
Seeing Ling Yao trying to pick up the low-grade spirit stone, Su Yi quickly picked it up and put it back into her storage bag.
Just as the two were about to return to the ground, a book glowing with purple light landed at Ling Yao's feet inside the fountain.
"Holy crap! A skill book dropped?!"
Unexpectedly, before leaving, the lucky koi was still working hard and actually managed to find a skill book!
Looking at the purple glow on the edge of the book, Su Yi swallowed hard, thinking that she should at least meet the book and share it with the other person.
Ling Yao simply tossed the skill book to Su Yi, saying calmly, "Consider it compensation for forcibly raising your cultivation level! It's yours!"
"I'd go through fire and water for you, Sister Yao!"
Su Yi caught the skill book and was immediately surprised by the moisture that filled it.
On the title page, written by the old Yin Biqian Shi, were the words: "This skill is the culmination of my life's work; only a water-type prodigy can comprehend it!"
Wow, I didn't expect it to be a water-type skill!
Isn't that talking about me?
This old man is truly a prophet with uncanny foresight!
It's a pity that no one expected that hundreds of years after death, their body would be riddled with bullets.
Su Yi saw three powerful characters written on the skill book, which was glowing with purple light.
The system notification tone also sounded at the same time:
"Smooth as silk!"
Quality: Purple
Requirements: Purple Water-type talent or above
Effect 1: Transform into flowing water to evade attacks!
Effect 2: Transform into flowing water to entangle and strangle the opponent!
Comment: No matter how hard you temper yourself, you can't withstand the gentle touch of a silken hand!
Ding!
Lack of experience means you can't learn!
"Are you crazy? The person is about to die, what kind of poetry are you reciting?!"
