Chapter 52: Dragon Roar and Bird Cry
Half an hour later, Wei Changtian was happily holding the two secret books, and he liked them more and more as he read them.
Although the system did not have a recycling function, which meant that these skills could not be "cashed in", he did discover a wonderful use of the system.
That means it can be used as a rating tool for martial arts!
You should know that in this world, apart from the most basic internal skills which are divided into four levels of "Heaven, Earth, Profound Yellow", other skills such as boxing, swordsmanship, and body skills do not have a clear rating.
After all, the power of martial arts depends largely on the strength of the user, so it is difficult to compare which is better.
It's like two people fighting with different weapons. No one can say for sure whether the winner is determined by the people or the weapons .
Therefore, in order to be safe, warriors mostly follow family inheritance or reputation in the martial arts world when choosing martial arts.
But if you come across a relatively rare martial art, you can only rely on luck.
Of course, this is for others.
Wei Changtian is different, because the system has clear ratings for these skills! What you don't know, the system knows!
Just go for the highest level and it'll be done! For example, what he is holding now are the only two "heavenly level" books among all the more than one hundred martial arts books! One is called "Tianluo Fist", which was the dowry of Qin Caizhen when she married into the Wei family as the Saint of Tianluo Sect. The moves are extremely fierce, and each punch comes with the special effect of "point blasting".
One is called "Guichen Sword". It is said that after practicing it to perfection, even without using any internal force, one sword can stop the flow of water for ten breaths.
What does this mean? It means that if I chop it with my knife, the water flow will be cut off within ten breaths! It can't be connected! Good guy, it's worthy of being a heavenly level, even Newton's coffin lid can't hold it down.
Wei Changtian happily put the two secret books in his arms, and after getting a thousand system points for free, he walked up the wooden ladder and went straight to the second floor of the stone tower.
The second floor is smaller than the first floor and is filled with various weapons.
There are all kinds of knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks, and many of them can be seen at a glance as being extraordinary items.
Wei Changtian's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the system, ready to use the same trick again to check the quality of these weapons.
But this time I didn't get it for free.
Because he didn't know the names of these weapons.
He couldn't search for it without knowing the name, and it was impossible for him to compare each of the numerous products in the system mall.
Oh, it looks like I'll just have to rely on my luck.
Sighing, Wei Changtian walked casually between the rows of wooden racks, looking around, his eyes mainly focused on the knife.
Swords are easy to carry and are the most mainstream cold weapons in any era.
Besides, he had just obtained a book on heavenly swordsmanship, so he must make the most of it.
Although the sword can also be used to perform sword techniques, but... the villain is not worthy of using a sword.
After walking around the entire second floor, Wei Changtian quickly set his eyes on a few knives.
Anyway, he had no idea what the quality of these weapons were, so he simply used appearance as the only selection criterion.
The knives I'm going to choose from are all good, at least they look cool.
But which one should I choose?
The decision-making difficulty came again... Should I just take them all? Change one every day? Forget it, it's not that the more weapons the better, it's more important to use them conveniently.
Looking back and forth at the magical weapons in front of him, which would be enough to attract countless people to fight for them if they were put out in the open, Wei Changtian suddenly felt like a rich second-generation who was choosing a concubine.
The "goddesses" that others flocked to were sitting in a row in front of me, but I had to be picky...
Ah, what a happy trouble.
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Changtian still hadn't made a choice.
Finally, he decided to adopt one of the oldest and most effective decision-making methods:
Draw lots!
I will choose whoever is destined to be with me!
"Call the troops and generals, call them..."
Muttering to himself, his fingers moved back and forth over several knives. Just when the answer was about to be revealed, Wei Changtian's eyes were suddenly attracted by two knives at the bottom of a row of wooden shelves.
Two swords are placed together, one is slightly longer and the other is slightly shorter. Both are similar in style to Tang swords, and both look good from the scabbards.
They should be a pair made by the same person with the same materials.
Huh? If I had one for myself and one for Xu Qingwan... Great! Wei Changtian immediately forgot about the knives he had just used, walked over, took the two knives in his hands and examined them carefully.
The handle of the knife should be made of copper core wrapped in wood, with several turns of rope tied around it.
There is nothing special about the scabbard, but there are two small words engraved on the bottom.
The long one is "dragon's roar" and the short one is "bird's cry".
"Why does it sound like the name of a sword..."
Wei Changtian muttered something, drew his sword casually, and then instantly understood the meaning of the two names.
The sounds of the two swords being unsheathed were one long like a flute, and the other clear like a whistle. They indeed sounded very much like "dragon's roar" and "bird's cry"... although Wei Changtian had no idea what kind of sound a dragon's roar sounded like.
It's not important! The most important thing is that the knife is really good!
This time Wei Changtian made the decision without any hesitation.
That’s it!
Putting the other knives back far away, carrying two secret books and holding two precious swords, Wei Changtian was now extremely looking forward to what was in the third floor of the stone tower.
Various magical props? Top-grade elixirs? Supreme magical powers? Or the heirloom of the Wei family? He took a few steps to the third floor, but what appeared in front of him was a locked heavy iron door.
"this……"
Wei Changtian suddenly stopped, stood there, looked at the iron gate for a few times, then turned and left, as if he had no interest in what was behind the iron gate.
Just kidding, he had watched so many horror movies in his previous life that he had already deeply understood a truth.
Curiosity kills the cat, so don’t open a locked door for no reason!
…
After coming out of the "Wu Ge", Wei Changtian took a carriage directly to Xuan Jing Si.
Then it caused a sensation as soon as it appeared.
The last time he pierced the toad's eye with a knife in Zhang's mansion, many people had already admired him. But who would have thought that just a few days later, he accomplished another feat.
The ape demon with 50 years of practice was killed by the young master Wei! And he also saved the "Si Hua" of the Xuanjing Division! Warriors are generally not well-educated and are not interested in love stories between men and women. They just like this kind of hero saving beauty plot full of chivalrous spirit.
Therefore, in their eyes, Wei Changtian is no longer the good-for-nothing young man who has done many evil things, but a good man with a sense of justice and chivalry! "Master Wei! Tell us how to kill the ape monster!"
"Yes, yes! Especially the part about saving General Xu!"
"Master Wei! My little sister is only fifteen years old. Can you see if she can be your concubine?"
"Hahahaha, you're dreaming! Don't you know that even the Lu family's most beautiful and charming only daughter, Lu Jingyao, can only be your concubine?"
"Humph! So what? My sister is no worse than Lu Jingyao!"
"Um?"
Wei Changtian, who was surrounded by the crowd, caught these words sharply and immediately moved closer to the man.
"Brother! You said your sister is no worse than Lu Jingyao?"
"ah!"
The person who spoke was stunned for a moment, then he puffed out his chest and said proudly: "That's not the case! I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to her appetite, she is definitely unrivaled in the entire capital!"
"Master Wei, what do you think... Where are you, Master Wei?"
