Chapter 103: Battling the Golden-Armored Warriors!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Feng immediately rushed onto the stage.

He raised the longsword in his hands and charged towards the ten golden warriors.

Something happened after a short while.

“Clang!”

A crisp sound rang out.

Chen Feng’s weapon was sent flying once again.

However, he resolutely charged toward the stage when he picked up his weapon again.

Since the warriors could not really hurt him, what was there to be afraid of about Chen Feng?

He did not know how many times he did this.

Chen Feng gradually managed to grasp some battle techniques.

He fought again and again to recover his strength.

Furthermore, he had to process and learn their battle techniques while thinking about how to break through their attacks.

He did not know how much time had passed. It could have been a week or a month.

The cursed countdown never rang out anymore, so Chen Feng did not mind.

As his abilities were upgraded, he could feel that his close combat skills had increased!

The aura that Chen Feng gave off was completely different from before when he picked up his sword right now. He was just like a veteran that had been through many battles.

Gradually, Chen Feng would be able to defeat one of them.

After a few more days, he could defeat three of them.

After that, he could even defeat five or six of them.

Chen Feng felt that he was gradually becoming stronger. He was learning how to fight from these golden-armored warriors.

However, as long as he was unable to defeat all the golden-armored warriors in one go, they would appear on the round platform a moment later and brandish their weapons at Chen Feng once again.

After some time!

After recovering his strength, Chen Feng stood up and stared at the ten golden-armored warriors.

Just then, he exuded a strong sense of confidence.

He would definitely be able to defeat these golden-armored warriors this time around!

He slowly walked up to the round platform with confidence and caressed the longsword in his hand.

Although Chen Feng had not learned any skills related to swordplay, he had gained some understanding of swordplay after engaging in constant battle with the golden-armored warriors.

Sword users were the leaders among the wielders of weapons. It was considered the emperor of all weapons!

Sword users had some sense of righteousness in their hearts. One could travel thousands of miles with a sword in hand in a swift and leisurely manner. One could experience plenty of joyous journeys even out in the wilderness!

Heroic men were born like this. They held huge swords in their hands, and fought with all their might over beauties that they had set their eyes on. The blood spilled under their swords wouuld dye the land crimson. Their swords were unyielding, and the light reflected off their blades illuminated the nine prefectures.

Although Chen Feng was a mage, he also yearned to walk to the ends of the world with a sword in his hand.

As he continued to practice using the sword, his understanding of swords deepened. The sword in his hand felt like one of his arms.

Chen Feng raised the longsword in his hand.

“Ding…”

The hum of a sword could be heard.

At this moment, Chen Feng gave off the imposing aura of a warrior who had a sword in hand.

He raised his longsword and first stabbed at the face of the warrior in front of him. Although these warriors were wearing golden armor, their movements were extremely agile. They turned their heads. Chen Feng’s sword simply brushed past the helmet on their heads.

Chen Feng did not react in time after seeing this, but the muscle memory on his body allowed him to take the next step immediately. He used all the strength in his body to turn the sword forward in a sweep after taking a step forward. The sword directly swept towards the neck of the long blade warrior.

“Rustle…” A loud rustle rang out.

Only nine of the ten golden warriors remained, but he could not relax. Chen Feng had to defeat all of them in a short period of time.

The moment Chen Feng defeated the warrior wielding the longsword, the nine other golden-armored warriors also started attacking him.

The weapons charging toward him from behind were ferocious and powerful. Chen Feng, who could perceive everything clearly, suddenly charged forward and dodged the attacks of the weapons.

After that, he wielded a three-foot-long sword and nimbly dodged the attacks of the golden-armored warriors like a invincible master.

Chen Feng suddenly leaped up. The sound of the longsword in his hand piercing through the air rang out across the platform. In a split second, he struck the backbone of the hammer-wielding warrior.

Then, he bent down and dodged the longsword-wielding warrior who tried to attack him mid-air. The moment he got up, he swung his wrist and his left fist. He then hit the longsword warrior’s face harshly.

Just then, Chen Feng suddenly rose into the air and charged downwards. The long sword in his hand dazzled as it sliced through the golden armor of the golden-armored warrior.

He battled against the ten golden-armored warriors for about ten minutes.

This time, he had finally ended the battle with the golden-armored warrior and passed the first challenge of the trial ground.

Chen Feng’s current close combat ability was already worlds apart from before.

At this moment, something happened.

The authoritative voice rang out again.

“After passing the first level of the trial, the rewards of [Thousand Birds Flowing] Sword Manual and the [Thunderstone Ring] will be given out. The first section of the Scripture Pavilion has been unlocked. You can choose a secret manual from the said section. The second level of the trial has been unlocked as well.”

Chen Feng picked up the reward in front of him. There was a [Thousand Birds Flowing Sword] sword manual and a ring.

He looked at the sword manual and ring in his hands.

A familiar system notification sounded in Chen Feng’s ear.

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained the SS-rank sword manual of the Thousand Birds Flowing Sword]

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained a Purple Diamond Grade ring, the Thunderstone Ring.]

Chen Feng looked at the sword manual and the ring in his hands.

“The sword manual of the Thousand Birds Flowing Sword? Isn’t this…the move used by the famous Japanese general, Tachinbana?”

Legend has it that Tachibana once encountered a thunderstorm under a tree on a hot summer day. He was suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning. Tachibana pulled out his beloved sword, Thousand Birds, to block the attack instinctively. Although the lightning struck his entire body, he still managed to survive. However, his lower body was crippled.

Tachibana was still brave and fierce on the battlefield. Coupled with the fact that he had escaped death, he gradually became known as the incarnation of the Thunder God.

This shocked Chen Feng. What was the relationship between Tachinbana and Susano?

Could Tachibana have learned this sword technique from the gods? Did he learn the Thousand Birds Flowing Sword Technique that he was holding in his hands right now?

Before coming here, he had visions of the Orochi…

Susanoo was assigned to guard the Inner Sea by his father, but he didn’t follow his father’s orders. After that, he left for Gaotian Plains. His personality was unpredictable, and sometimes violent. However, he was also heroic at times. Due to his violent nature, he was regarded as the God of Destruction.

His most famous deed was killing Orochi. He obtained the “Cloud of Heaven” (Kusanaru Sword) from its tail and became a brave hero.

Had Tachibana learn theThousand Birds Flowing Sword Technique from Susanoo? There must be a story behind this!

After a while.

Chen Feng looked at the sword manual and the ring’s introduction and attributes.

[Thousand Birds Flowing Sword]

Grade: SS-rank

Introduction: The dream sword manual of countless swordsmen. The sword manual is divided into five levels. After cultivating it, one’s affinity with lightning will increase by 30%. One will obtain the speed of lightning when executing the sword technique. One’s agility will increase by 100% as well. However, one needs to use the power of lightning in the world to temper their physical body to cultivate this sword technique.

This sword technique was obviously extraordinary.

However, Chen Feng did not have any plans to start cultivating at the moment. This was because cultivating such a sword technique would definitely take up a lot of time and effort. It did not suit his current circumstances, so he should focus on cultivating as a mage.

He then looked at the Thunderstone Ring.

[Thunderstone Ring]

Quality: Purple Diamond Grade

Introduction: A ring that contains the lightning element. It contains some divine power from the gods. One’s power will increase by 30% when using lightning element skills. One’s casting speed will increase by 60% whereas the consumption of their power will decrease by 40%.

After reading the skill introduction for the Thunderstone Ring, Chen Feng touched the ring in his hands.

He felt excited. This is good stuff! Even though this is a Purple Grade equipment, its attributes are almost as good as that of a Pink Quality equipment.

This was one of the best pieces of equipment among all Purple Grade equipment. All the attributes of this equipment were at its maximum levels, and it was also known as a “Purple Diamond Grade” equipment.

Although Chen Feng was very happy after seeing these two items, he did not forget what the authoritative voice had said—

The Scripture Pavilion!

Before this, Chen Feng had been very curious about the Scripture Pavilion. He could finally explore it right now.

A small portion of the Scripture Pavilion had already been opened. Chen Feng could choose a secret manual from it.
