Chapter 236 – Monster Jian (Solo, Badly Damaged)

Now was not the time yet. If he directly charged into the inner practice grounds, he might be ripped to shreds by those monster weapons in just a few minutes.

Even without speaking of their numbers, their strength was also quite high.

Although he did not dare use [Status Appraisal] on them, but on careful inspection, he could tell that the weakest Monster Tool inside was stronger than a normal 3-Star Creature. As for the winged sword in the center of the inner practice grounds, it might not be weaker than a 3-Star Terror Creature, but he could not tell its true creature rank.

Arriving at the outer practice ground, Wei Xiao Bei went past the lime line. In an instant, his vision blurred, and he appeared close to the center of the outer practice grounds.

This time was different from the previous two times. Not only was the position different, even the Wooden Training Dummies were different.

When Wei Xiao Bei had just appeared and opened his eyes, he saw that the Wooden Training Dummies had stood up one by one while turning to his direction.

In the next moment, the closest Wooden Training Dummy took the initiative and attacked him!

Whoosh!

Two big wooden fists smashed down on Wei Xiao Bei’s head while carrying the sound of the wind.

Facing the Wooden Training Dummy’s attack, Wei Xiao Bei retreated two steps, causing the wooden fists to smash and destroy the cement floor.

At the next moment, Wei Xiao Bei touched the Small Holding Bag close to his chest and took out his three meter long great spear. With a whoosh, the Wooden Training Dummy had been pierced.

Puff!

The great spear pierced through the Wooden Training Dummy like tofu, opening its chest and piercing through its heart!

Blue liquid flowed out from the wounds and was absorbed by the spearhead. The mist that had already disappeared from the spearhead once again appeared with a blue color.

The Wooden Training Dummy collapsed on the ground as the great spear was pulled out. A thumb-sized Wood Man Heart floated up in the liquid.

Wei Xiao Bei charged forward and dodged another fist smashing towards him. He also took the chance to put the Wood Man Heart into his Small Holding Bag.

Wei Xiao Bei had used the Wood Man Heart once before, and he felt that its effects were not bad.

Since the Wooden Training Dummies dared to take the initiative to attack him, then he did not mind them as he killed some and farmed evolution points and obtained Wood Man Hearts.

It must be known that Wei Xiao Bei was waiting for his disciples to become 2-Star Creatures before feeding them the Wood Man Heart.

If he had given it to them earlier, the effect of training would not be as effective as now.

With the turn of the great spear, he had pierced the neck of a Wooden Training Dummy causing blue liquid to spray out and be absorb by the spearhead. However, the Wood Man Heart did not appear this time.

With the White Mist Great Spear, Wei Xiao Bei only needed to stabilize his body to easily deal with the Wooden Training Dummies.

After all, they were slow and inflexible, so they could not dodge the great spear at all.

In front of Wei Xiao Bei, the Wooden Training Dummies could not even compare to the Lickers.

After killing eight Wooden Training Dummies and obtaining two Wood Man Heart, the doors to the inner practice ground opened. In an instant, beautiful red light gushed out from the inside, shooting past 10 meters as it charged at Wei Xiao Bei.

Its speed was faster than what the naked eye could see.

However, Wei XIao Bei had seen it before it leapt at him.

It was a blazing red jian!

In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei’s [Retentive Memory] and [Precise Calculation] were used at the same time, as he tried to remember information about jians.

Among the 18 types of weapons, jians were in the category of segmented iron weapon. They were normally made of copper or iron. However, the jian did not have any joints nor were the tips sharp. The segmented parts on their bodies were shaped with a depression. There were grooves and spikes on all sides!

Its length was a normal 1.2 meters and was categorized as a short weapon. Strong people would not be able to make full use of the weapon, and its killing power was extremely high. It could even smash an armored person to death!

The most famous user of this weapon was from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He was a general named Qin Qiong. With a jian at hand, he had killed many strong generals. The famous term ‘sa shou jian’ (Trump Card) came from his techniques

However, jians were usually used as dual wields, thus Wei Xiao Bei increased his caution a few times!

This was one of the benefits of [Precise Calculation].

If it was usual, Wei Xiao Bei might miss some particulars.

Sweep!

The great spear swayed as it closed in the flying jian. As long as it was in the scope of the spearhead’s sway, the jian would be hit!

However, Wei Xiao Bei never imagined that the jian was so flexible. In an instant, it slowed down its speed and turned away from the range of the spearhead, hitting the spear handle.

Clang!

The spear handle shook to the point that his hands became numb and almost let go of the spear.

On the other hand, the jian did not stop at all. It followed the spear handle and shot towards Wei Xiao Bei.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei hated fighting with Monster Tools the most.

The Monster Tools’ bodies were either long or short. Their bodies were also quite hard. Compared to Lickers or Wooden Training Dummies, they could be described as crafty!

If it were Dang Kangs and Gargoyles, Wei Xiao Bei would already been able to poke a few holes in them.

Bang!

However, Wei Xiao Bei did not let the jian have a good time. With a shake of the great spear, the jian had been shaken flying away.

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei used his [Status Appraisal].

Name: Monster Jian (Solo, Badly Damaged)

Race: Monster Tool

Gender: None

Age: ???

Creature Rank: 3-Star

Status: (The average monster tool’s status value is ???)

(Blocked)

Skill: Qin Family’s Jian Arts’ Sa Shou Jian (Badly Damaged), Iron Heart (Immune to illusions, hinders appraisal, immune to mental negative effects), ???

Evolution Points: X (Unable to accumulate evolution points)

Items on Hand: ???

……

Seeing its status, Wei Xiao Bei was amazed.

Compared to the Xuan Hua Broad Axes, the Monster Jian had the skill Qin Family’s Jian Arts’ Sa Shou jian.

As previously said, the Sa Shou Jian was an extremely famous move among the Chinese. Naturally, they also knew that it was Qin Qiong’s technique with twin jians, but no one had seen it before.

However, it was easy to imagine how powerful this move was.

As for the end part ‘badly damaged’ and even the ‘solo, badly damaged’ in its status, Wei Xiao Bei could understand it.

There was only one Monster Jian! This was the reason for having solo and badly damaged in its status!

As for why the badly damaged status effect appeared beside the skill, it should also be because it was alone and not in a pair.

Otherwise, with the powerful skill of the Qin Family’s Jian Arts’ Sa Shou Jian, its creature rank would not only be 3-stars.

Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed, but he understood that this battle would be a difficult one!

Being appraised by Wei Xiao Bei, the blazing red jian’s body shook. It was as if its body was being drilled by worms. Soon after, it once again threw itself at Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei did not know that his [Status Appraisal] could be considered as a very rare and strong skill.

It was an analysis on living creatures!

Even if it could not see all the Monster Jian’s status, it had touched upon its essence. Thus, any creature stared at by [Status Appraisal] would involuntarily feel unpleasant.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The jian launched three consecutive attacks on the great spear, making Wei Xiao Bei feel that the great spear was about to break.

This is too hard to deal with.

Wei Xiao Bei’s expression became gloomy. Most of his focus was on the Monster Jian, as he did not dare split his attention from it.

Even if the Wooden Training Dummies still attacked him, he did not pay any attention to them and only relied on his instincts and reflexes to dodge their attacks.

The pressure of battle was now on Wei Xiao Bei.

Everytime the Monster Jian attacked three times, the most Wei Xiao Bei could do was thrust one time. Moreover, he needed to quickly pull back and defend against its attack.

At this moment, the web between Wei Xiao Bei’s thumb and forefinger had already split and was letting out blood.

Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei had a high recovery ability. Such a small injury would heal quickly.

Time passed by.

Wei Xiao Bei used his [Precise Calculation] to slowly grasp the Monster Jian’s attack patterns.

In truth, the Monster Jian’s attacks were inflexible and just used the same attack pattern back and forth more than 10 times. However, because of its speed and body advantage, Wei Xiao Bei had a hard time resisting it.

When Wei Xiao Bei finally grasped its attack patterns, he was able to have an easier time in dealing against it.

Whoosh! The sound of metal colliding echoed.

It was the first time Wei Xiao Bei’s great spear had hit the Monster Jian’s body, leaving a shallow mark.

After being hit, the Monster Jian became angry and continued its fierce attack. There were even times where it would smash the body of the nearby Wooden Training Dummy.

It could be said that the Wooden Training Dummies had a lot of bad luck.

They originally peacefully settled in the outer practice grounds, but they were massacred by Wei Xiao Bei a few times. There were originally more than a hundred of them, but now there were less than 50.

Now, they were even injured by the Monster Jian.

However, the Wooden Training Dummies did not have a good head. They still charged and attacked Wei Xiao Bei, sometimes helping him block a few of the Monster Jian’s attack.

The battle slowly entered its climax. Although Wei Xiao Bei had not been hit by the Monster Jian, its attacks on the great spear caused vibrations that strained his muscles.

On the other hand, the Monster Jian was now riddled with injuries. Although it had never been pierced through by the great spear, but if the tempo of the match continued, it should not be far.

Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun had already killed the majority of the Treeman Saplings. They continued to command the saplings and Zombie Dogs to continue the clean up while watching Wei Xiao Bei.

In their point of view, Wei Xiao Bei was in a very dangerous situation.

The long Jian was like a flying sword, travelling back and forth in midair. The Wooden Training Dummies on the side would even be beaten thoroughly by it.
