Chapter 233
When the small sword formed from a surge of sword energy pierced into the foreheads of Xu Ming and Xu Xue’nuo, both collapsed to the ground. Xu Ming’s head hit the floor with a thud, while Xu Xue’nuo fared slightly better, falling onto Xu Ming’s shoulder.
“That should do,” the old man said to the gathered crowd.
“Whatever skills you wish to impart to them, now’s the time. If they can handle it, then so be it. If they can’t, it simply means fate has dictated otherwise. It shows that the Dao has denied us even this last chance. We, these old relics, are destined to perish here. The new world has no room for a ship that can carry us forward.”
“Ah, old man, why so pessimistic? I have a lot of faith in this young man~,” Zhou Wanfeng said with a sly smile. “Although I don’t have much to offer, I do have an unnamed meditation technique I found in an ancient ruin. It’s been quite useful, even saving my life multiple times. I’ll pass it on to them.”
Raindrops fell as Zhou Wanfeng condensed a wisp of spiritual energy, which entered the foreheads of Xu Ming and Xu Xue’nuo.
“I’ll take a gamble on them with my Gambling Oath,” the gambler chuckled, conjuring another wisp of spiritual energy. “They can learn it if they want, though I doubt they’ll take it far. Still, when the day comes for them to make a pact, they might find it useful.” The energy was infused into the duo’s foreheads.
“My butcher’s blade technique suits a brute better, but as for the girl, she probably won’t even bother looking at it. After all, what kind of lady would like my coarse, vulgar blade techniques? But whether she likes it or not, she’ll have to learn it,” the butcher said with a grin, condensing two wisps of spiritual energy and sending them into the pair’s foreheads.
“My Divine Step technique is pretty good. I reckon this boy’s never learned such a top-tier movement technique,” the thief said with a smirk, releasing two more wisps of energy into their foreheads. “Combine their swordsmanship with my movement technique—oh, the possibilities!”
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up. “I wonder what my enemies will think when they see my technique in their hands. Ha! I’d love to see their faces!”
