âChi Yu Han?â
I slightly jolted, then raised my sword and said, âThat name really does seem fantastical⦠Is he really strong?â
Angela nodded, and softly said, âBefore I was born, Chi Yu Han had already become the strongest warrior in the land. At a young age, he managed to break through into the Sky Knight Level, a level only a handful of Sword Saints could even reach. When he was 20 years old, he traveled the seven kingdoms, and looked to duel with all of the Sword Saint Level experts. He had dueled 14 people, and became renowned as the strongest person of the land. Afterwards, Chi Yu Han broke through the Sword Saint level and made it into the Holy level. Thirty years later, my father lead 10 Arch Mages to create a magic circle that would seal him in this forest, thus giving this forest the name, Sword Saint Forestâ¦â
I furrowed my eyebrows, âChi Yu Han didnât do much, why did Duke Luo Lei lead a team of Arch Mages to seal his power?â
Angela shook her head and frustratedly said, âI donât know. The imperial historical texts that talk about Chi Yu Han have all been erased. I managed to hear some information from the Arch Mage Master though. Chi Yu Han had trained among the Chi You Tribe Abyss. Afterwards, he was invited to meet with the royal family, where he was appointed to become Chi You Cityâs Major General, and he fought for Chi You in the north. On the way there, he laid waste on the lands that he passed through, destroyed Fire Cloud City, and Sea City, and finally led his troops all the way to Ba Huang City. When he reached the city, he found out that one of the generals there, named, Chi Yang, was his father. However, he heard rumors that Chi Yang had died in battle, thus agitating his rage. He commanded a hundred troops to bathe Ba Huang City in blood. It was probably because of that event, that my royal father sealed him in the Sword Saint Forestâ¦â
As I listened, I almost fell into a trance, and couldnât help but sigh, âIf it were like that, this Chi Yu Han was pretty much godly. Too bad he had been sealed when he reached the Holy level, thatâs just too badâ¦â
âOh?â Angela glanced at me and couldnât help but smile, âYou know what the Holy Level is? Holy Level is a tier above Sword Saint. Holy Level is the closest level to gods that humans can attain. Throughout history, thereâs only a handful of people that have reached Holy level. Even my brother Luo Lin isnât on that level. Just from that you can tell how difficult it isâ¦â
âAlright!â
I looked at the thousands of troops behind Angela and said, âYour royal highness, are you leading these troops to Sword Saint Forest then?â
âYes!â Angela affirmed with a nod.
I smiled and said, âWell, I think, if Chi Yu Han really did reach Holy Level, then you are basically sending the people youâve brought with you to their deaths. They wonât be of any useâ¦â
Angela smiled, âYou donât have to worry about that. Chi Yu Han is just a ghost that has awakened. Most of the Arch Mages who made the seal are still alive. Even if Chi Yu Han were to awaken, at most, he can only use around 30% of his strength. So, thereâs no need to be too worried about him. What I want to do, is enter the Sword Saint Forest, find Chi Yu Hanâs grave and kill him!â
My heart started to beat and I smiled, âPrincess Angela, why must you personally lead the attack? How about you let me do it? Whatever you need me to do, Iâll finish it perfectly for you!â
âReally?â Angela smiled at me, âYou arenât tricking me, are you?â
âOf course not!â
âButâ¦â Angela revealed a worried expression and said, âHowever, Chi Yu Han still has a lot of strength. Iâm afraid that if you were to go, you would also be heading straight to your deathâ¦â
I patted my chest, and said, âDonât worry. Iâll find some extremely strong partners.This way, I wonât be completely defenseless before Chi Yu Han. Iâve got it handled.â
âThen⦠alrightâ¦â
Angela reached into the bag behind her and fished out a golden scroll and said, âThis is the imperial command. Take it, then head towards the deepest part of the Sword Saint Forest and kill⦠Oh wait no, if you just imprison him, that will be enough. Afterwards, take him back to Ba Huang City. There you will receive ample rewards!â
I thought about it for a second and said, âYou want me to capture him alive and bring him back to Ba Huang City? Is a Holy Level tier person going to obediently follow me back?â
âYou donât have to worry about thatâ¦â
Angela pulled out a red chain and smiled, âThis is a magic chain that the Arch Mage Master made. He used a piece of the center of an ancient glacier to create it. This iron can greatly increase the power of the seal. Even if the target was a Holy Tier Chi Yu Han, once heâs locked up by this chain, heâll be weakened. This way you can safely bring him back to Back Huang City!â
I raised the command scroll and the magic sealing chain and happily smiled to myself. Angela looked at me and asked, âYoung warrior, are you sure you want to take on such a heavy task?â
âYes!â
âOk!â
In the next moment, a system bell rang through the skyââ
âDing!â
System Notification: Congratulations, you have received the SSS Tier Quest [Sword Saint Chi Yu Han]!
Quest Details: After obtaining Angelaâs task, take the command scroll and the chains into Sword Saint Forest and look for the deepest part of the forest. On the seventh floor, you will have to defeat Chi Yu Han and use the power of the magic sealing chains to seal his strength and bring him back to Back Huang City. You will receive an ample reward from Duke Luo Lei. However you must be careful, Chi Yu Hanâs power is far beyond what you can possibly imagine and you must bring some people to completely finish the quest. The maximum number of people that can complete the quest: 10
â¦â¦
I was so excited. Now that I got the quest, next was the happy journey to collecting an ample reward and experience. It just so happened that Li Mu, Qing Qian and the others had all lost 10 levels. Iâll just bring them all so that the quest could make up for the levels they lost and quickly bring up the levels of all the core members. This way, when the guild battled with the other guilds, we wouldnât be at a disadvantage!
I put away the Dragonâs Reservoir Sword and I walked towards Dragonâs Den. Afterwards, I sent a message to the little miss, âWan Er, have you finished the class change quest yet?â
âYup, Iâm finished. Whatâs wrong?â
âCome to Dragonâs Den! I just took on a SSS Tier main quest!â
âWah, you really do have good luck!â
âHei hei, donât say any more. Let me see just what the Hermit God is like!â
âAlright, Iâm coming!â
âOk!â
When I reached the gate of Dragonâs Den, I stood outside the simple wall. Not long after, Wan Er, Dong Cheng, Qing Qian, and Li Mu all arrived. These people were all going to help with the quest. Wan Er stood at the very front, a line of words floating above her head and extremely clearââ
Cang Tong Lv 87 Hermit God
Main City: Ba Huang City
Guild: [Zhan Long]
Job: Vice Guild Master
Ranking: Ba Huang Cityâs Second
â¦â¦
I looked at the little missâs spirited look, I couldnât help but smile, âHow is it, what kind of skills does the Hermit God have? Let me see some of them!â
Wan Er stuck her chest out and gave a hypnotizing smile, âDo you really want to see?â
âYup!â
âAlright!â
Wan Er pointed to me and smiled, âThen how about you be my sandbagâ¦â
âPa!â a blood red flag fell. This was the systemâs way of showing that a duel started. I immediately lunged forward and yelled out. I used [Wall of Dou Qi] as well as the [Dragonâs Whistle of Lightning and Thunder]. Wan Erâs attack was just too high. If i didnât have a high enough defense and resistance, I wouldnât be able to take her attacks.
âAre you ready?â Wan Er smiled.
I nodded, âYup, come at me!â
Wan Er didnât say anything. Her beautiful face had a bewitching smile. She opened up her hand. She suddenly gave a delicate shout. âHum!â the environment around us seemed to twist and warp. My body seemed to be pushed by an invisible force for around 3 yards. I quickly reached out to stop my body from being controlled. This was Wan Erâs new skillââ [Domain Control], and she now has a degree of control over the area!â
In the next moment, Wan Er dashed over, her face carried a sweet smile. The Dragonâs Kiss dagger suddenly glowed red. I then raised my Dragonâs Reservoir Sword and my Cold Iron Sword to defend myself. The more attack I can decrease, the better. My chest suddenly felt a sharp pain. Wan Er threw three slices, each slice stronger than the last!
â3172!â
â3718!â
â4019!â
The dagger started to glow. What a strong attack! This was the Hermit Godâs special skillââ [Blade of the Death God]. The skill threw three attacks, and the attack didnât decrease and was a specialized instant kill skill.
Wan Erâs lips curved up and she smiled, âIâm coming at you again⦠regain some healthâ¦â
I quickly used my [Dragon Knightâs Recovery] and nodded, âCome at me!â
âShua!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Dragonâs Kiss dagger quickly began to get covered by frost. One after another, beautiful flakes of snow began to whirl around the little missâs beautiful figure and she activated her next skillââ[Frost Revolution]. Within 10 seconds, any attack that Wan Er dealt had a 30% chance of freezing the opponent, which would last 2 seconds. The cooldown was 60 seconds, and was another astonishing solo skill!
âKa ka kaâ¦â
After a chain of three attacks, I was frozen and layers of ice began to form around me. I was sealed in ice!
Wan Er stopped her attacks. If she continued, I wouldâve been beaten to death. She smiled as she looked at me and said, âAlright already. I canât just not let you make a counter attack. Come at me, try and attack me and use your strongest skill!â
âOh, are you sure?â I smiled, âIf it hurts, you better not cryâ¦â
âWu, come at me!â
My hand shook, and my Cold Iron Sword flew out of its sheath and shot right at her with a [Blade Spin], going straight at the little miss. Right as I was about to checkmate her, Wan Erâs body gave a slight tremble and a shield skill suddenly flared outââ [Shield of the Mundane World]. Dou Qi energy suddenly began to envelop her, and greatly increased her defense and resistance. The cooldown was 60 seconds!
A chain of damage numbers flew up. The [Blade Spin] and the [Combo] all fell upon her. Wan Erâs defense was so high that it managed to defend against it. With a cry, she activated her 5th Class Advancement skillââ [Hermit Godâs Arrival]! For 7 seconds, while sheâs in flight, all of her stats increase by 20%!
âHua!â
Suddenly flying up, the beautiful little miss stopped 10 meters above me. Just like a goddess, she smiled at me, âNow you canât hit meâ¦â
I opened up my hand and smiled, â[Defeat the Dragon]!â
Wan Er quickly pursed her lips, âHmph, if you dare grab me, Iâll cry in front of you!â
I quickly took my hand back and smiled, âCome down here, I understand the Hermit God skills. It really is strong. Itâs a class that is king of the solo battles. On top of that, the ability to control the domain is amazing. Yup, in the future, when there are large scale team battles, Wan Er, you can open up the [Shield of the Mundane World] and you can charge into battle with meâ¦â
Wan Er softly smiled to me and cancelled the duel, âYup yup, I was thinking of that. Thatâs right, have you gotten the SSS Tier Quest? Hurry up and let me see. Afterwards, letâs choose who to bring. It just happened that this group of rats are all crying about how they donât have a high tier map to grind onâ¦â
âYup!â
