BXBX NOVEL Chapter 429: 341 Blank Skill? Gui Xiao's Betrayal!_3
“In that case…” Cai Ji could only nod and say, “Then I’ll listen to Captain Yunxiao and Brother Cheng. We’ll meet again in three years!”
Afterwards, the group discussed for a bit more, and except for Cai Ji, everyone else chose the second option.
That is to say… they will raise their levels to LV69 within six months, and then participate in this year’s new student assessment!
Zhou Xinyu suddenly said, “It won’t be easy for us to reach LV69 in half a year, so my suggestion is that we form a team and tackle some of the newly discovered secret realms or instances, how about it?”
“Do you have any objections?”
Zheng Cheng thought for a moment and said, “I agree.”
Yao Zhixue: “I agree as well.”
The Purple Poppy quietly raised her hand and said, “Um… I agree too.”
Everyone looked towards Cui Xiabing, who let out a wry smile and said, “I agree as well. The Ent senior prefers to stay in the Wilderness, after all, this is its home.”
“But I’m also confident that ordinary secret realms won’t pose any pressure on me.”
As she spoke, Cui Xiabing’s eyes were filled with confidence.
And Zheng Cheng thought of the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vine that the Purple Poppy just mentioned.
An Epic Level extraordinary plant would undoubtedly be a powerful boost for the current Cui Xiabing.
Zhao Yunxiao also nodded and said, “In that case, I’ll offer my suggestion too.”
“With the strength and classes of all of you, I recommend that you look for secret realms or instances that lean towards characteristics of undead creatures and dark creatures.”
“Zheng Cheng, Zhou Xinyu, and Cui Xiabing, all three of your attributes and skills lean towards light and life, which have a great suppressive effect on undead and dark creatures.”
“Only by doing this can you maximize your strengths to the fullest.”
After discussing for a while, everyone already had a preliminary plan in mind and decided to start looking for suitable secret realms and instances once they returned to Blue Star.
Before leaving, Zheng Cheng suddenly asked a question.
“Sister Yunxiao, do you know of any way to expand the general skill slots?”
He also had a “Spread Plague” skill tree, but unfortunately, his general skill slots were full and he couldn’t learn it.
If he could open a new blank skill slot, his strength would undoubtedly increase once again.
“General skill slots?” Zhao Yunxiao said, “Your general skills are full?”
“Yeah.”
“To expand the general skill slots, you’d need several types of props, and they’re all quite expensive.”
“For example, Spring of Oblivion can make you forget a general skill that is not suitable, and in turn, learn a new one.”
“And the petals of the Other Shore Flower, a flower legend tells grows at the Yin-Yang Boundary, has the effect of bringing the dead to life and regenerating flesh from bones. Those petals, along with a few other precious props, can be refined to produce an item called the ‘Liquid of the Other Shore’. Consuming it will then give you a chance to open a new blank skill slot.”
“Some special classes can also help others open new skill slots, but for that, you’d need some good fortune.”
Zhao Yunxiao said, “I remember the Nightwatcher records information on this; you can exchange for it with your Merit Value when you go back.”
“Nightwatcher records, huh? I got it…”
As the others left, Cui Xiabing quickly caught up to him.
“Zheng Cheng, I hear you’ve reached LV49 too. Interested in sparring with me?”
“A spar?”
Zheng Cheng said with a light smile, “Of course, no problem.”
…
Just as everyone was considering returning to Blue Star, in a hidden location on Blue Star, a Ghost Shadow suddenly dispersed.
“Cackle cackle cackle… I’m back! I’ve finally returned!”
“And this…”
As he spoke, he flipped his hand, revealing a crimson flower in his palm.
The flower had only six petals, which were snake-shaped and curved upwards. The petals were covered in dense golden threads, with edges that faded to a murky black, as insubstantial as a dark mist.
“Other Shore Flower… this is a true Other Shore Flower!”
“Legend has it that it grows at the Yin-Yang Boundary… With this divine flower, and that artifact from the organization, I can directly step into Epic Level!”
“Cackle cackle cackle…”
“Buzz…!”
Suddenly, at that moment, a vortex appeared before him, and a cold, eerie aura immediately enveloped him.
“Gui Xiao…! Where have you been these three years?”
“Fire Ghost King…!”
“Hm? You… Other Shore Flower! You actually have an Other Shore Flower in your hand! Hahaha, well done, Gui Xiao. Hand over the Other Shore Flower, and I’ll acknowledge it as a great contribution from you!”
“Hand over the Other Shore Flower?”
Gui Xiao’s tone suddenly became extremely strange, his figure blurred, and the phantom of a great owl surged behind him again.
“This flower is mine, no one can take it away!”
“What? You seek death…!”
“Boom…!”
In an instant, several figures collided fiercely, creating a huge explosion at the site.
Seconds later, a figure whose aura was ravaged and who was clothed in tatters shot out from the rubble and fled towards the distance in a sorry state.
Soon after, three dark shadows appeared at the site, each holding a strange sandalwood incense that was burning.
“The Fire Ghost King has commanded!”
“Gui Xiao has betrayed the Ghost Face Organization and deserves death. Capture him alive!”
“With the Spirit Incense lit, he can’t hope to escape our king’s pursuit.”
“Let’s go!”
