Chapter 232: Purple Treasure Chest, Wind God Vajra Legs!

Under Wu Meng’s complaint, Lin Guoliang ultimately had no choice but to hang his head in shame and confess.

“Chen Guoqing, we’re all players, there’s no need to be so harsh.”

“I admit I anonymously insulted Yang Ling this time, I’ll accept an extra month in prison.”

As Chen Guoqing searched him, Lin Guoliang spoke while being frisked.

After finishing the search and finding no more money on Lin Guoliang, Chen Guoqing spoke in a low voice:

“An extra month? Do you think this matter is that simple?”

Lin Guoliang’s face twisted oddly as he said:

“What else do you want from me? I didn’t murder or burn anything down, and I only joined the Immortal God Sect to change class.”

“That anonymous message had a huge impact on Divine Realm players.”

“The direct and indirect harm it caused is far greater than you imagine.”

Chen Guoqing sighed, “If this were the real world, maybe a half-month detention would have been enough and that would’ve been the end of it.

But this is Zhao State, Zhao State has its own laws, and I doubt you’ll be getting out anytime soon.”

After saying that, he, in front of Lin Guoliang, had Wu Meng released, because he had already confirmed that after Wu Meng joined the Immortal God Sect she had not committed any illegal acts.

Lin Guoliang was terrified by Chen Guoqing’s words.

Was he going to be locked up here for years? That can’t be!

Seeing Wu Meng being led away by Chen Guoqing, Lin Guoliang immediately shouted:

“Let me out! Mengmeng wait for me! Come with me! Don’t leave me alone!”

“Lin Guoliang, you keep five hundred taels of silver while making me eat coarse meals every day. You’d rather use it to send anonymous messages than give me a good life.”

“And you can open the Status Panel to send messages, which means you’re already a Martial Artist.”

Wu Meng stopped in her tracks and stared at Lin Guoliang deeply, disappointment filling her eyes:

“You hid everything from me. From today on, we’re done. I’m kicking you out!”

Having said that, she hurried off with Chen Guoqing, leaving Lin Guoliang alone in the cell, shouting and cursing nonstop.

……

Since the Divine Realm Communication Channel feature appeared, players everywhere began to get familiar with it.

With Qi Kai setting an example, many players thought to use the public channel to do business, profit for themselves, and build up resources for leveling.

Some players were lucky and had saved up a lot of money recently, using the public channel to recruit and form guilds.

Other players sold monster grinding locations on the public channel.

In just one day, the volume of messages on the public channel multiplied several times over.

But those players were all Martial Artists; players who weren’t even Martial Artists could only stare enviously.

They didn’t even qualify to send messages on the public channel.

Yang Ling paid attention to the public channel at first, but then returned to focusing on mining.

On the third day, the Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe in Yang Ling’s hand kept steaming, its pointed tip already glowing red.

Shen Shuyan, who was recovering from his wounds, opened his eyes to glance over, then immediately closed them again, murmuring to himself.

The speed at which the other party swung the Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe was almost inhuman.

If that move were used against him, he doubted that even at his prime he could withstand it for a quarter of an hour.

Yang Ling put the pickaxe aside to cool and rest, then opened the Status Panel.

The progress for the Treasure Chest Fusion Slot had already reached 99%.

“Almost there.”

Yang Ling felt a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

If it failed, he would lose two Golden Treasure Chests.

That would be a significant loss for him.

If it succeeded, there was a high chance he would obtain a Purple Treasure Chest!

He had never seen a Purple Treasure Chest since coming to the Divine Realm.

He was eager to see what kind of loot a Purple Treasure Chest would contain.

While thinking this, a notification sound suddenly chimed in his ear.

A message then appeared:

“Congratulations, treasure chest fusion successful, obtained 1 Purple Treasure Chest.”

The panel for the Treasure Chest Fusion Slot began to shine with golden light.

The two Golden Treasure Chests gathered toward the larger central slot, and the golden glow gradually shifted to purple.

Soon, a Purple Treasure Chest quietly appeared in the middle fusion slot.

“This is… successful?”

Yang Ling rejoiced.

It seemed the fusion slot’s success depended on the percentage progress.

As long as the progress reached one hundred percent, it would succeed!

“I hit the one-in-ten probability.”

Without hesitation, Yang Ling took the Purple Treasure Chest out of the fusion slot.

Accompanied by a dazzling purple radiance, the Purple Treasure Chest appeared before him.

Shen Shuyan was a Native, not a player, so Yang Ling didn’t worry about him seeing anything.

With his back to Shen Shuyan, Yang Ling slowly opened the Purple Treasure Chest.

The purple light was soft, reflecting off his expectant face.

It was a manual!

Yang Ling’s heart pounded wildly!

Could it be a first-rate internal technique?

[Wind God Vajra Legs (First-Rate)]

[Training Requirements: Strength 50, Agility 50, Prerequisite martial technique Twelve Paths Vajra Legs Skilled]

[Beginner’s Insight: Boosts Strength by 10, Agility by 10]

[Comprehensive Mastery: Boosts Strength by 20, Agility by 20]

[Flawless Proficiency: Boosts Strength by 30, Agility by 30]

[Skilled: Boosts Strength by 50, Agility by 50, Grants Skill: Double Critical Strike]

[Transcendent: Permanently increases Strength by 50 and Agility by 50]

A trace of disbelief flashed across Yang Ling’s eyes.

The Wind God Vajra Legs’ description exceeded his expectations.

Each stage’s attribute boosts completely surpassed those of Ethereal Steps, which is also a first-rate martial technique.

The Transcendent level’s reward was especially shocking: a permanent increase of fifty points to both attributes!?

“Twelve Paths Vajra Legs, as a Second-Rate leg technique, actually has relatively low attribute boosts among Second-Rate skills.”

“But its successor technique, Wind God Vajra Legs, far surpasses Ethereal Steps…”

“Ethereal Steps at Skilled only boosts Agility by 48.”

“Wind God Vajra Legs boosts Strength by 50 and Agility by 50 at Skilled—about double Ethereal Steps and then some!”

Yang Ling’s heart began to pound fiercely.

He had very likely obtained a first-rate martial technique inheritance that was extraordinary!

Across Zhao State, even the Four Top-Tier Sects would likely place this among their top ranks!

“The training threshold for Wind God Vajra Legs is also extremely high, requiring Strength 50 and Agility 50, which I barely meet.”

“Besides, it requires Twelve Paths Vajra Legs to reach Skilled before you can practice it—taken alone that condition is already extremely harsh.”

From entry to Skilled, a martial technique requires terrifying amounts of proficiency.

“In total it’s 111100 proficiency.”

“Even if a Native Martial Artist in the Divine Realm had 200 Spirit Nurturing Pills, they would still need to train multiple techniques at once to increase proficiency.”

“That takes a lot of time, and without enough Spirit Nurturing Pills, it could take over a decade to reach Skilled.”

“Wind God Vajra Legs grants Double Critical Strike at Skilled, which is probably what I expected…”

“This technique will be the strongest martial skill I can master at my current stage, rivaling Heaven’s Will Divine Blade.”

“Although it’s not a first-rate internal technique, it’s still very good.”

Yang Ling felt conflicted: without obtaining a first-rate internal technique, he couldn’t gain the attribute boosts from two internal techniques at once.

Against someone like Lu Yunchen at Lower Sixth-Rank, that would be a big disadvantage.

But the Wind God Vajra Legs’ attributes were outstanding.

If he could advance it to Skilled, his strength would increase dramatically.

Even the third layer of Vajra Bright King Technique only increases both attributes by sixty points.

Wind God Vajra Legs at Skilled grants a fifty-point boost to both attributes!

That’s comparable to running two internal techniques at once!

With that attribute gain, he would truly step into the Lower Sixth-Rank realm!

“Also, martial techniques only require Spirit Nurturing Pills to improve, which is much more convenient than internal technique manuals.”

“In a short time, I can absolutely stack Wind God Vajra Legs’ proficiency up to Skilled!”

“Done!”
