Chapter 375: Chapter 290: Rapid Development (4)

Zhao Chi didn’t understand.

"Shadow-Carrying? Damage beyond the blade? What does that mean?"

Gu Qing said, "Oh, I get it. My Lord, you’ve been busy forging and haven’t seen the saber’s Effect, right? Tang Ruan, bring those wooden men over. Qi Yue, show our Lord its Effect."

"Okay."

Tang Ruan pattered over and began arranging the wooden men.

They were called wooden men, but they were really just wooden posts.

Their original heads and arms had all been chopped off long ago.

Tang Ruan set up several of them. Some were far away, over ten meters out, while a few were placed right in front of Qi Yue.

Qi Yue raised the Phoenix Cry Saber and took two steps back, putting some distance between herself and the wooden men.

"All set!" Tang Ruan said as she ran clear.

Qi Yue said softly, "My Lord, watch closely."

The moment she finished speaking, Qi Yue swung the saber.

Zhao Chi watched intently.

Qi Yue was over a meter away from the wooden man; from that distance, she shouldn’t have been able to hit it.

But Zhao Chi suddenly saw a faint, pale white phantom image extend from the tip of the Phoenix Cry Saber. It was barely visible in the daylight.

However, thanks to his exceptionally high Intelligence Attribute, Zhao Chi could see it with perfect clarity.

The phantom image was a full half-meter long.

The blade swept past, and the phantom image struck the wooden man.

CRACK!

The wooden man split in two with a crisp sound.

Zhao Chi understood in an instant.

’A projected blade shadow?’

’So that’s what "Shadow-Carrying" meant.’

After the Phoenix Cry Saber was forged, the blade itself hadn’t gotten any longer.

He hadn’t quite understood how the +50% attack range bonus would manifest.

So this was it!

But Qi Yue wasn’t finished with her attack.

"My Lord, there’s more."

A bright ray of moonlight shot out from the body of the Phoenix Cry Saber.

Even though it was morning, the light from the blade was clearly visible.

This beam of moonlight was clearly much larger than before.

If the previous Moon Blade Slash was a 50-centimeter crescent, this one had actually reached 1.5 meters?

’How did it get so big?’

The moonlight sliced across the ground, sending sand and stone flying and severing blades of grass.

WHOOSH~

With a sound of tearing air, it slammed into the distant wooden man.

CRACK!

With another crisp snap, the distant wooden man also broke.

And the distance was no longer the ten meters of the Moon Blade Slash—it had reached fifteen meters.

’So... the 50% increased attack range from the Phoenix Cry Saber is also Effective on Moon Blade Slash?’

Qi Yue chuckled and asked, "My Lord, did you see that clearly? What do you think?"

Gu Qing smiled. "With his current Intelligence of 10, he could definitely see it clearly. As for what he thinks... can’t you tell from his expression?"

Hearing Gu Qing’s words, Zhao Chi’s surprised expression melted into a smile.

"That’s right, I saw it very clearly. After you switched to a Two-Handed Saber, your Moon Blade Slash got bigger, correct?"

"Mhm."

"And with the Bonus from this Shadow-Carrying Phoenix Cry Saber, it got even bigger, and its range extended to fifteen meters, right?"

"Mhm."

"Impressive. Truly impressive. Setting aside the Moon Blade Slash, just focusing on the Shadow-Carrying Phoenix Cry Saber, when you Attack with it, the actual attack range is half again as long as the blade itself, factoring in that phantom image, correct?"

"Mhm, that’s right."

Qi Yue nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Chi marveled, "I never even tested it after I made it. I didn’t expect its Effect to be like this. What about the other Female Soldiers? Do they get the same Effect when they use it?"

Gu Qing replied, "Yes. Even the Female Militia who just changed their class get it. After all, it’s an intrinsic Ability of the saber, unrelated to the wielder."

Zhao Chi was a little envious.

"If only this saber wasn’t restricted by gender."

Qi Yue said softly, "My Lord, you can just come into my Body and control me."

Zhao Chi chuckled. "Hmm, that’s certainly a good solution."

For now, this Shadow-Carrying Phoenix Cry Saber provided the greatest Bonus to Qi Yue.

Zhao Chi couldn’t even be sure just how terrifying her destructive power was now.

Just as he was thinking about this, his fourth uncle, Zhao Qiye, suddenly called out to him.

[Zhao Chi, get to the Clan Leader’s House, now!]

The tone was urgent, and it was just that one sentence, with no explanation.

Zhao Chi knew something urgent must have happened.

He didn’t dare to delay. "Gu Qing, get me some clothes."

"Right."

Gu Qing always kept a few sets of Zhao Chi’s clothes in her System Space, and she immediately took one out.

Tang Ruan ran over to hold the clothes for Zhao Chi. He quickly put them on, gave a few brief instructions, and then teleported back to the Great World.

In the Great World, there were still many people on patrol.

Besides the villagers, there were also some Alien Race Soldiers standing guard in the surrounding area.

The moment Zhao Chi appeared, he felt five gazes lock onto him.

Zhao Chi’s senses were extremely sharp now, and he knew those gazes were all coming from the Alien Race Soldiers nearby.

But his expression remained unchanged as he quickly walked toward the clan hall.

He entered the clan hall and went to the Clan Leader’s House.

Zhao Shizhang and Zhao Qiye were both there.

Seeing Zhao Chi enter, Zhao Qiye got straight to the point. "Xiao Ning is looking for you. She wants you to make a trip to the Xiao Family. I’ll go with you, but before we leave, I need to ask you about a few things."

Zhao Chi was surprised. "Xiao Ning? Wants to see me?"

"That’s right. Do you have some kind of grudge with her?"

"...We had a small conflict once before. I don’t know if that counts."

"Tell me about it, quickly. What happened?"

Zhao Chi frowned and recounted the incident where Xiao Rui, Xiao Luan, and Xiao Ning had surrounded him, only to be scared off by a swing of his saber.

Zhao Qiye asked, "So, you didn’t actually hurt her at the time, did you?"

Zhao Chi shook his head. "No, I just scared them away."

"Did you curse at them?"

"Of course I did. They were the ones who surrounded me first."

"That’s not important anymore. Xiao Ning doesn’t care about things like that."

Zhao Chi was speechless. "It can’t be that, can it? It was just a minor conflict; I didn’t even touch them. Would Xiao Ning really hold a grudge over something like that? That’s so childish."

Zhao Shizhang shook his head. "Anything is possible. We have to consider every eventuality."
