Seeing this abnormality, Du Yuqi smiled immediately, and then asked Duize to continue shooting at that point. Everyone saw that when the bullet hit that area, transparent ripples kept flashing. It was obvious that there was a powerful magic mechanism taking effect there. At this time, everyone had seen the mystery and said to Du Yuqi:
"Let Duize stop. How long will it take for him to use up all the mana stored in the mechanism by shooting like this? This place is not peaceful. The continuous sound of gunfire may cause some unnecessary trouble. It is better for us not to waste our energy here."
Du Yuqi nodded and signaled Duize to stop. Then she saw Meimei actually took out a magic broom and rode on it, flying straight into the air. At the same time, there was a shining light in her hand, and an incredibly large black fly swatter appeared. This black fly swatter should be formed by magic, and Meimei waved it in the air easily, whipping the transparent magic mechanism in the air.
Before he could draw many strokes, he saw a few flashes of light in the air, and then a box that looked a bit old fell down. It hit the ground with a "bang" and stayed still.
Du Yuqi walked up and opened the box, and found a long rectangular object inside. After he took it in his hand, he found that it was sealed with wax. After quickly pinching the wax seal open, he saw that there was actually a layer of oilcloth wrapped inside, with three layers inside and three layers outside, wrapped very tightly.
After the oilcloth was completely opened, I found that there was actually a layer of charcoal inside to absorb moisture! It was not until the charcoal was peeled off and the thick sealing cloth was torn off that the hidden things inside were finally revealed.
This is actually a scroll.
That’s right, it looks quite similar to the skill scroll that Du Yuqi bought from the martial arts school in Huttonmar.
However, sometimes, when some small differences are added up, they will produce a qualitative change, just like once a snake has claws and horns, it will turn into a dragon!
At this time, the old skill scroll that Du Yuqi got had a thicker and more dangerous aura than ordinary skill scrolls, as if it contained some great secrets! Apart from anything else, the leather surface of the skill scroll alone had a deep light that kept shining and flowing in the darkness, giving people a weird feeling.
Seeing this scene, Mingxi was immediately a little surprised. She reached out and touched it, then said in shock:
"This should be the scalp of the Yaksha King! The Yaksha King is a powerful monster living in ancient ruins. It has an inhuman body and amazing strength. It can easily tear heavy cavalry into pieces. The scalp of this dark monster has tremendous power and is a very precious alchemical material. I see that this scroll of yours uses at least three scalps of the Yaksha King. Even a blank scroll is worth at least five thousand gold coins!"
Du Yuqi slowly opened the scroll and immediately took a breath of cold air. There must be many strange enchanted patterns around the scroll, which was also very normal. However, there was no content in the middle of the scroll, but only a few strokes, which looked like it was casually smeared with a finger dipped in blood.
No one knows how many years this scroll has been in the making, but the blood that makes up those few strokes is bright red and translucent, as if it had just flowed out of the blood vessels. Furthermore, those few strokes look like words and paintings, and appear to be full of mystery and secrets. However, others have no idea what is going on and seem to be completely confused.
However, the weapon on Du Yuqi's waist, Kulan's Flame Shadow Sword, which was holding the scroll, suddenly made a buzzing sound. Du Yuqi looked at the few strokes and suddenly felt his eyes blurred. A strong smell of blood suddenly rushed into his nose. Then he saw that the few strokes written in blood actually dissolved on their own. Then, it was as if an invisible pen dipped in blood began to write, and finally formed a line of words:
SR gets (?) a backward jump slash.
After reading this line of words, Du Yuqi immediately felt a bit amused and helpless.
It turns out that the font of this line of words is not only ugly, but also quite nonsensical. The word "de" must have been written wrong, so a big cross was put on it, and finally it was replaced with the word "de". However, there is probably no way to confirm that the word "de" is correct, so there is also a question mark after it...
Du Yuqi thought hard, but couldn't remember who the great man with the abbreviation SR stood for. He just remembered that all professionals seemed to be able to learn some common skills, including backward jump, which allowed them to quickly jump backwards while facing the enemy and quickly distance themselves from the enemy.
However, the backward jump slash should be the initial sword skill after the swordsman is transformed into a sword spirit. It is not a very profound secret technique, and not many people major in it.
Soon, the line of words dissolved again and turned into a ball of blood. An invisible pen seemed to appear in the air, dipped in the blood and began to outline. Finally, a vague human figure was drawn. The human figure was very abstract and the face was completely unclear, but he exuded a kind of unrestrained and heroic spirit. The weapon he held was a bamboo stick-like thing, and there was a long-necked wine jug hanging from his neck.
Then this person began to perform a backward jump slash. At first glance, it seemed simple. It was just a small jump backwards without turning around, and then swinging the sword downwards with a medium amplitude. However, Du Yuqi had already achieved a certain level of accomplishment in swordsmanship at this time, and his talent was also very high. So after watching for a few more times, he immediately realized that the height, amplitude, and force of the opponent's backward jump were just right, and were in an indescribable wonderful and harmonious state. Therefore, the power of the sword must be surprisingly strange!
He immediately simulated the situation in his mind, and found that the focus of the backward jump slash in this way must not be on damage, because there is no way to use the sword with full strength. On the contrary, the power on the sword edge would be very strange.
To be honest, although the Backward Leap Slash is a sword technique that can only be learned after the job change to Sword Soul (White Hand), it is actually not some mysterious secret. The threshold for learning is extremely low, and you can learn it as long as you have just entered the second level of strength.
However, this ordinary sword technique, under the interpretation of this figure, made Du Yuqi fascinated! Turning the ordinary into the magical, interpreting the endless beauty of complexity in simplicity! Just like the best chef's specialty is definitely not some mountain and sea delicacies such as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but ordinary stir-fried vegetables, stewed tofu, egg fried rice... Therefore, the figure who performed this sword technique must be a master of the generation, a perverted existence that has surpassed the second awakening in the legend.
After the blurry figure made three consecutive gestures and chopped out, he actually pointed the bamboo stick at Du Yuqi and then rushed towards him. This move was extremely abrupt and extremely fast! !
After seeing the amazing sword skills displayed by the blurry figure, Du Yuqi was completely immersed in it and had no chance to react. He saw the bamboo stick piercing straight in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but scream and stumbled back a few steps, looking very embarrassed. However, he found that the blurry figure actually rushed straight into his body... and the group of people nearby looked at him with a curious and weird look.
It was only then that Du Yuqi realized that his back was wet with sweat, and even his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He felt very tired. He thought that he had only watched for less than twenty seconds. Why was his mind so exhausted?
He looked at the people around him and said tentatively:
"You...you didn't see that figure?"
Mingxi said with concern:
"Where is the figure? After you opened the scroll, you just stayed there, talking to yourself. If Master Xi hadn't told us not to disturb you, I would have really thought you were possessed."
Du Yuqi was surprised and said:
"But the images on this scroll are truly magical! Don't you see it?"
Mingxi shook his head and said:
"No, we see that the scroll you are holding is just shining with a little light. It seems to be blank. There is nothing on it at all."
Du Yuqi was about to speak when he suddenly realized that the scroll in his hand seemed to feel a little strange. He exerted a little force and found that the scroll actually broke into pieces. Then, when it fell to the ground, it turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.
Witnessing this scene, Meimei, who was biting a lollipop, suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in surprise:
"Is this scroll you hold the legendary Albert scroll?"
After hearing what Xi said, the others were all shocked:
"Albert Scroll?"
Du Yuqi, on the contrary, looked very confused. Fortunately, there was a "living encyclopedia" by her side, who told Du Yuqi that hundreds of years ago, there were huge barriers between professionals, and there was no systematic use of magic and alchemical props to do part-time jobs and cross-border work like today.
However, there was a talented fighter named Albert at that time. No matter what skills he practiced, he could do them easily. His philosophy was that the most powerful moves were those that could knock down the enemy, so why should there be a distinction between professions? So he gave up his bright future and concentrated on studying this direction.
Finally, under tremendous pressure, Albert managed to achieve results, which was to secretly learn the skills of a major profession.
For example, after the Swordsman's second-level job change, there are four sub-professions: Devil May Cry, Berserker, Asura, and Sword Soul. They still belong to the Swordsman profession, but the advanced skills they learn are different. Albert can train and learn skills after the job change, such as letting Devil May Cry learn some skills of the Berserker, but the skills learned secretly are also limited.
In the future, as the concept of cross-border cultivation became more and more developed, some people continued to follow Albert's path. Some strong people were unwilling to see the special martial arts they had cultivated lost, so they would seal their martial arts in a specific scroll when they had put in a lot of effort. As long as the person who got the scroll could meet the cultivation conditions, he could comprehend the secret skills. There were also people who could gain cross-professional skills from the scroll. In order to commemorate Albert, the founder of this school, later people called this type of scroll "Albert Scroll".
Strictly speaking, Du Yuqi at this time was just a second-level swordsman who was stuck at the door of career change, but he mastered the "backward jump slash" which required career change to sword spirit to practice. This was really all thanks to the credit of this scroll. It can be said to be a coincidence.
From this we can also see that Count Ratnes did put some thought into the three treasures he gave to Du Yuqi. The first one was a magical weapon, the second one was wealth that could be cashed in at any time, and the third one was an extremely powerful skill. He completely catered to his needs. This old man has been in the position of count for decades, and his reputation is well-deserved.
…
At this time, everyone was curiously asking Du Yuqi what amazing skill he had learned by holding the scroll in a daze for so long. However, when Du Yuqi replied that it was the "backward jump slash", almost everyone sighed.
Because this skill is an unpopular skill even for sword spirits that can practice openly, and few people will work hard on it. Mingxi immediately said with regret:
"What a pity! How much better it would be if I could draw the Inner Ghost Sword Technique, which is also a second-level skill of the Sword Soul?"
Duize also frowned and said:
"The Sword Soul's Sword Slash is also quite powerful. I once met a guy who left a deep impression on me."
However, at this time, Xi, who was always taciturn, said coldly:
"What do you two guys who never fight in close combat know? The backward jump slash is indeed useless to ordinary swordsmen, but for those who have already comprehended the true meaning of swordsmanship, it is an absolute magical skill! Its effect is far beyond your imagination!"
Du Yuqi had always felt that there was something profound in the backward leap slash performed by that figure. After hearing what Xi said, he immediately felt relieved, knowing that the backward leap slash he had learned was definitely not a useless trick, but the magical skill she mentioned. He immediately wanted to put everything aside and study and practice it carefully. Unfortunately, he was in a hurry, so he could only sigh and take the lead to walk towards the Volga River.
