Chapter 72

Su Xin liked to accumulate intermediate draws many times before performing them all at once, as that increased the chances of getting good items.

However, now Su Xin urgently needed something to enhance his combat power. Although four draws were a bit few, he had no choice but to do it this way.

"System, convert all my beginner draws into intermediate draws, remove the blanks, and perform all the draws."

The wheel on the large screen began to spin, passing over techniques and elixirs, and finally landing on the miscellaneous category.

"Congratulations, host, for drawing a fake beard used by Yue Buqun to disguise his identity after castrating himself. Rated half a star."

Su Xin's eyes twitched. He knew that the miscellaneous category rarely had good items, almost as bad as drawing blanks.

The second draw began, and this time the wheel's pointer slid to the weapons category. A peculiar long sword appeared on the screen.

The blade was a bronze color with a hint of red, and the hilt was a spherical guard containing a small ball that oscillated with the sword's movements, emitting a strange frequency and sound.

"Congratulations, host, for successfully drawing the weapon: Youlong Sword. Rated two stars.

Weapon description: One of the Seven Swords, it was the personal weapon of Chu Zhaonan, forged by Master Huiming using black iron. It is indestructible, and the spherical guard allows the sword to change direction freely, making it extremely agile.

Hidden attribute: Dragon Roar

Dragon Roar: The Youlong Sword is forged from refined black iron, making it extremely sharp. When it strikes an enemy's weapon, it produces a powerful oscillation effect, directly breaking the enemy's weapon while the counter-oscillation is absorbed by the small ball inside the guard."

Seeing the description of the Youlong Sword, Su Xin's eyes lit up.

Although "Seven Swords Descend from Heaven Mountain" is a low-level martial world where techniques are primarily based on moves, the most outstanding elements are the seven divine swords forged by Master Huiming.

The attributes of the Youlong Sword were quite good. Not only was the blade sharp, but the spherical guard made the angle of the sword's strikes extremely flexible, making it very suitable for fast and ruthless sword techniques.

Moreover, this sword had a hidden attribute that could break the enemy's weapon, which was even more rare.

In the martial world, some martial artists dedicated their entire lives to mastering a single weapon, not learning other martial techniques, like Sha Feiying.

Once these people's weapons were broken, their strength would drop by seventy percent, making the Youlong Sword a nemesis to such martial artists.

Of course, if they encountered a powerful martial artist who could use anything as a weapon, such as "flying flowers and plucking leaves to injure," even the Youlong Sword or the Heaven Sword would be useless.

Pulling out the Youlong Sword, a crisp oscillation sound immediately spread out, with a unique frequency permeating the air.

"This Youlong Sword is quite good for direct combat, but it can't be used for sneak attacks."

Just pulling the sword out produced such a loud sound; if he tried to sneak attack, he would probably be discovered before he even drew the sword.

"Continue drawing."

Su Xin was in a very good mood. Even if the next two items were junk, this draw was worth it. The Youlong Sword alone could increase his combat power by thirty percent.

If he had the Youlong Sword during his battle with Sha Feiying, he could have easily cut through the other's goose feather knife and killed him, without the need for such a hard-fought battle.

The wheel on the large screen spun rapidly, and the pointer finally landed on the miscellaneous category again.

Su Xin immediately sighed, feeling that he had wasted another opportunity.

However, the item that appeared on the screen made him pause. It was a box containing a stack of human skin masks, with both male and female, young and old, totaling about dozens.

"Congratulations, host, for drawing a set of human skin masks left by 'Thousand-Faced Gentleman' Wang Lianhua. Rated two stars."

Wang Lianhua was an important character in "Wulin Waishi," a character with both good and evil traits, but highly popular, sometimes even surpassing the main character Shen Lang.

He was known as the "Thousand-Faced Gentleman" and was extremely skilled in disguise. The human skin masks he left behind were very realistic.

When Su Xin put on one of the masks, he instantly transformed from a handsome young man into a middle-aged man in his thirties. If it weren't for the significant difference in physique, it would be flawless.

"This is quite useful. I don't need it now, but it will definitely come in handy in the future." Su Xin placed the human skin masks in a corner of the system space.

The human skin masks were just a tool for disguise, not true disguise techniques.

They could only change the face, not the physique. Therefore, among the dozens of masks, Su Xin could only use those that matched his physique.

Otherwise, if he put on an old man's mask but still had a young man's physique, the smooth skin would immediately reveal it as a fake.

After three draws, he had gained two useful items, so this was definitely a good deal. For the last draw, Su Xin was quite open-minded, not caring what he would get.

The wheel spun rapidly, and the pointer landed on a new category: consumables.

"Congratulations, host, for drawing a one-time consumable: Flame Blade. Character: Jumu Zhi. Rated three and a half stars."

Su Xin's eyes widened. "This isn't just a good deal; it's a huge win!"

Although Jumu Zhi wasn't the strongest character in "Tianlong Babu," his strength was considered top-tier.

Moreover, although he was cunning and ruthless, he was deeply devoted to martial arts and was a prodigy in the martial arts world.

The Flame Blade was Jumu Zhi's signature technique, taught by the Nyingma Sect. Jumu Zhi relied on this divine skill to dominate the Western Regions, unbeaten.

In Su Xin's view, the potential of the Flame Blade was no less than that of the Six Pulse Sword Technique, but Jumu Zhi's diverse skills prevented him from fully mastering this divine skill.

"Right, the Flame Blade is an external manifestation of internal energy, but my current internal energy isn't strong enough to manifest externally.

Only by reaching the innate stage and forming a qi sea can I barely achieve the external manifestation of internal energy. If I use the Flame Blade now, won't I be drained of all my strength?"

The external manifestation of internal energy is one of the dividing lines between the innate and the postnatal stages.

The innate stage has three realms: qi sea, spirit acupoint, and divine palace.

Only by forming a qi sea, which increases the body's true qi by several dozen times, can one achieve the external manifestation of internal energy.

The system defined a one-time consumable as instantly mastering a martial skill to 100% proficiency and using it once, but the energy consumed would still be the host's.

Thus, using a high-level skill like the Flame Blade would consume a tremendous amount of internal energy, and Su Xin suspected he might be drained dry.

The system explained, "This won't happen. 100% proficiency means the host can achieve the same level as the founder of the skill. The body will use the current internal energy to its maximum potential.

The external manifestation of internal energy is just a form of controlling true qi. A powerful martial artist can achieve this even with only a single acupoint of true qi. After using the Flame Blade, the host will still have more than half of his internal energy left."

Hearing this, Su Xin was reassured.

The Flame Blade, a secret skill of the Esoteric Sect, would be his trump card, potentially turning the tide in certain situations.

The internal reorganization of the Eagle Gang took three days, and during this time, the outside world was in an uproar.

Sha Feiying was dead, and Su Xin had taken his place!

When Su Xin and Li Zhonghe fought, almost all the gangs and associations sent representatives. From then on, everyone recognized that this young man was not to be underestimated.

However, no one expected that this day would come so quickly.

In just over a month, the young man who needed to fight Li Zhonghe on the stage to survive had risen to one of the peak forces in Changning Prefecture, on par with them.

To reach the position of gang leader in such a short time required strength, cunning, and luck.

Moreover, Su Xin's ruthlessness was evident. The Eagle Gang claimed that Sha Feiying was killed by the Green Bamboo Gang, but no one believed it.

Everyone knew the two deputy leaders of the Green Bamboo Gang were no match for Sha Feiying, even if they fought together.

At the Three Heroes Assembly, when Meng Changhe heard this news, he crushed the teacup in his hand, his face twisted in anger.

His son was killed by the other party, and now the other party was not only unscathed but had also become the leader of the Eagle Gang, on par with them. How could he bear it?

Ning Luojun sighed, "Brother, let it go. Meng Chong is dead, and there's no point in you being like this.

Now that Su Xin is the leader of the Eagle Gang, moving against him means going to war with the Eagle Gang.

The Eagle Gang is not the same as when Sha Feiying was in charge. I've heard about their reforms, and the Eagle Gang is now at least twice as strong as before!

The Eagle Gang, except for territory, is almost as strong as the Divine Wind Assembly and the Iron Knife Assembly. If we force a confrontation, even if we destroy the Eagle Gang, we will suffer significant losses."

Duan Xiao also added, "That kid must have broken through, and his strength exceeds our expectations.

I've fought Sha Feiying, who comes from the Thirty-Six Forts of the Taihang Mountains in Henan. Although his personal strength isn't great, his knife skills are genuine, and even I don't have a sure win.

For Su Xin to kill him, his strength is worth our attention. If we engage in a life-or-death battle, we will suffer more than we gain."

"But he killed my son! The enmity of a son's death is irreconcilable!" Meng Changhe gritted his teeth.

"Brother, think of the bigger picture," the two men advised.

The one with the enmity of a son's death was Meng Changhe, not the Three Heroes Assembly.

If Su Xin were just a nobody, they wouldn't mind doing Meng Changhe a favor and crushing Su Xin.

But now that Su Xin was the leader of the Eagle Gang, a force on par with them, engaging in a life-or-death battle with him would not be in the best interest of the gang or themselves.

PS: Many readers have asked about the main character's future martial arts cultivation. Here's the explanation: sword techniques will definitely be included, but not as the main focus. Fist, palm, and finger techniques, as well as various unique martial skills, will also be included.

Another PS: Several readers mentioned Wen Shuguan's innate intangible sword qi. Originally, the author did not include Wen Shuguan in the system, as it was unclear whether he was an antagonist or a neutral character. Given the high demand for Wen Shuguan and the impressive nature of the innate intangible sword qi, the author has decided to include it in the later stages of the system.

Another PS: Thank you to the readers Long Huang Long Cha, Xingchen Ye Ying 1, Want to be young, wear open-crotch pants, Zhao Yun Mu Yu, Hu Hu, Ling Ye, Yin Yang Ming Yu, Ye Meng Qian Nian, Tian Wen Dou Gui, Tian Dao Zong Si Yi Qie, and my QQ name is Cold for your support.
