Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Broken Wing Dance

Translator: 549690339

After selling a level 10 blue quality weapon for five thousand Doomsday Coins, Song Jian was more than satisfied, although he couldn’t help feeling a little reluctant to part with it.

“Oh well, out with the old and in with the new. I’ll have even better weapons in the future.” Song Jian comforted himself and recalled what the Sword Master Mentor had once said: If he chose this profession, he would receive a free sword technique, so he might as well use this time to learn it.”

Immediately, Song Jian sent his black dragon whelp to the Pet Space, as he didn’t have much time left, and having the whelp follow him would slow him down.

Morphing into Dark Cloud, Song Jian flew high into the sky, heading for the area where level 15 monsters were located.

In reality, Song Jian’s flight speed while in the Dark Cloud form wasn’t fast, and was equivalent to riding a bicycle. The advantage was that he could fly at a high altitude, making it the safest method to travel, as long as he didn’t encounter any flying bosses.

After spending more than half an hour, Song Jian arrived at Tianfeng Building, where Duan Jian was still standing on the rooftop, gazing into the distance with his hands behind his back.

Seeing him, Song Jian couldn’t help but want to tease him: “Yo, what are you looking at all day long, are you waiting for your wife?”

“Mentor!” Song Jian flew to the rooftop, cancelled the Dark Cloud state, landed in front of Duan Jian, and bowed in salute.

“Well done! It looks like you’ve made the right choice!” Duan Jian glanced at Song Jian, his face revealing a satisfied smile.

“Mentor, didn’t you say I could learn a sword technique for free from you?” Song Jian asked somewhat shyly.

“Yes, as your guide, you can learn a basic Sword Controller technique from me,” Duan Jian nodded and said, “But what you can learn depends on your luck!”

“It relies on luck?” Song Jian frowned but understood immediately.

Duan Jian raised his hand, and more than a dozen cards with a faint golden light floated in front of him.

“Choose one at random,” Duan Jian said casually.

“A gold-quality skill? Impossible, wasn’t it mentioned that it’s a basic sword technique?” Song Jian couldn’t help but feel surprised, looking closely at the cards.

The cards were all facing Song Jian with their backs, adorned with intricate patterns that resembled magic arrays. The patterns were all identical, making it hard to tell the differences with the naked eye.

Song Jian closed his eyes, trying to discern the difference using his Mental Strength. As a Sword Controller, his mental attribute had been raised to 9 points, making his sixth sense much more intuitive, and he could even anticipate some impending dangers. He wanted to see if he could distinguish the value of these cards by using his Mental Strength.

Unfortunately, the results were disappointing. The cards’ surface seemed to be covered in a faint layer of Mental Strength, blocking any sensing attempts. With his currently limited use of Mental Strength, he couldn’t even touch the cards themselves, let alone tell any difference between them.

A moment later, Song Jian shook his head, unable to discern any differences. He glanced at the smiling Duan Jian and casually chose a card from the middle.

After choosing the card, the faint golden light on it slowly faded, leaving a card with a white glow.

“Skill: Broken Wing Dance (Active), Level 1, Skill Effect: Activating this skill allows you to charge forward, initiating a surprise attack and can be activated twice more. First and Second Strikes: Slashes forward, dealing 50 + 0.5 * physical damage to all enemies touched. Third Strike: Leap into the air, then smash the ground, causing 60 + 0.6 * physical damage, and sending surrounding enemies flying away. Learning requirements: Sword Controller.” “This skill is quite good! It has strong attacks, includes a shifting ability, and even has control effects! Nice, nice!” Song Jian was elated, immediately using the card to learn the Broken Wing Dance sword technique. However, he also became interested in the other cards, eyeing them curiously.

Duan Jian smiled faintly, waved his hand, and turned over the remaining cards, which caused Song Jian’s face to change, his eyes widening in surprise.

“Damn, Six Vein Divine Swords (Incomplete) – Little Merchant Sword, Dugu’s Nine Swords (Incomplete) – Palm Breaking Strike, Tai Chi Sword Skill, Quanzhen Sword Technique, Jade Maiden Sword Skill, Three-part Swordsmanship…” Song Jian’s eyes bulged as he looked at the legendary sword techniques. He initially thought that Broken Wing Dance was already a remarkable technique; little did he know that among these sword techniques, it would rank at best as average.

“Dugu’s Nine Swords, Six Vein Divine Swords, Tai Chi Sword, and even Evil Warding Sword Skill…” Song Jian was speechless. There were so many legendary sword techniques that it was overwhelming.

“Alright, practice well. When you reach level 15, go to the Television Tower to find me, and I’ll teach you a body refining technique!” Duan Jian said, waving his hand, and all the cards disappeared. The Sword Orb around him transformed into a giant longsword, which Duan Jian jumped onto, and used the Sword Flight Art. Within a short while, he disappeared into the sky, becoming a small black dot.

“Sword… Sword Flight Art? Is this also a skill that Sword Controllers can master?” Song Jian asked in surprise.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded from behind Song Jian. Turning around, he saw three or four players rushing to the rooftop.

Seeing Song Jian standing on the rooftop, the players displayed a surprised expression.

“Sword Controller, are you the Sword Controller Mentor?” asked a player wearing leather armor, shouting towards Song Jian.

Since becoming a Sword Controller, Song Jian hadn’t had the chance to hide his profession, so now his level and profession were exposed above his head.

“It shouldn’t be, right? 1 heard that the Sword Controller has a level of seventy or eighty, this one is only level 10…”

“Maybe he’s a disciple of that Sword Controller, possibly our senior brother in the future…”

“Right, right! We have to be polite!”

“Do you fellows need my master for anything?” Song Jian asked with a smile. “Master? It seems we guessed correctly. He’s indeed that Combat Mentor’s disciple…”

“Ahem, we also want to become Sword Controllers, is that possible?” These players quickly asked.

“Of course, but it depends on how sincere you guys are…” Song Jian’s face was full of smiles as he stretched out his index finger, rubbing it against his thumb. “Damn, is he asking for a bribe? Are the NPCs in this game so intelligent? It’s so human-like…”

“Just give it, maybe it’ll make our assessment tasks easier…”

These players hurriedly took out a handful of Doomsday Coins from their inventory, some gave thirty, others fifty, and the highest one gave a hundred Doomsday Coins.

Looking at the Doomsday Coins in their hands, Song Jian sighed disappointedly and said, “Your hearts are not sincere enough-“
