Chapter 558: Blade Duel at the Forbidden City (1)

Important notice: Your inventory has been locked: Sorcery weapon has been locked; before the scenario ends, the only weapon you can use is the blade that you are currently holding; all active skill outside of the fighting mastery are not usable.

[What!] After listening to that confusing and pretentious beginning monologue, Feng Bujue heard this rather unlucky setting, and this was not the end of it

Important notice 2: During this scenario, a unique value will be utilized, said value has already been shown in your game menu. The change to this value will greatly influence your performance in battle.

Just as the notice finished, Feng Bujue opened the game menu and looked down the health, stamina and sorcery points bar before he eventually located the so-called 'unique value' bar.

What the hell. It's Stylish Point [a term from AVG, a satirical value created to calculate how deep a character was in the grasp of Sophomore Syndrome]!? When Brother Jue saw the Stylish Point + 10 in his game menu, he was totally stunned. There were so many things he wanted to comment about this, this was as bad as the 'plot armor' setting from the scenario way back when

Main quest activated. Kill all the members of the opposing team. After the simple introduction and hint were over, the mission had been shown. And that moment, it also announced the beginning of this battle.

[Hey hey if I can only use fighting skill and cold steel this is very non beneficial to me] Feng Bujue thought to himself. [The person on the other side is an expert in these two things] To be able to be praised by Brother Jue in such a way was naturally someone of certain talent. At the moment, the person standing on the opposite end of the roof was indeed such a person

Her frame was tall and slender, her face gorgeous like a goddess. Under the shine of the moonlight, there was an arresting quality about her beauty. There was a captivating print of red sakura on her long white dress. With the wind blowing the edge of her dress fluttered, giving her the appearance of a goddess landing on earth.

For this battle, Xu Huai Shang was using her favoured double sword. And Feng Bujue was using a blade he just obtained. The familiarity both parties had regarding their weapon was heaven and earth. Just this point it had already pulled apart their distance in terms of their ability in battle. One could say that the advantage that Brother Jue got from his other masteries, level and equipment had dissipated entirely once he entered this scenario.

[Qie no matter how you look at it, this is very unfair to me] Feng Bujue thought to himself. [No wonder she is called a goddess in the game, even the system is particularly caring towards her]

Feng Bujue. At that moment, Xu Huai Shang suddenly spoke. Her tone was calm and cold. I have been wishing to have a rematch with you, I just did not expect it would come so soon.

After hearing that, Brother Jue did not say anything in return About 10 seconds later, he only replied, Must we fight?

Xu Huai Shang laughed, Hah Why shouldn't we? This is not a real competition and no one is watching, don't tell me you are afraid of losing?

Obviously Goddess Xu had misunderstood the meaning behind Brother Jue's words it was why she had answered him seriously.

Aiz Brother Jue proceeded with a long sigh before slowly turning to the side. He placed the unsheathed blade between his chest and arm, he crossed his arms before his chest and assumed a pretentious pose. The last drift of cotton floated down the wind, the sound of cuckoo chirped among the rhododendrons. The past of the years held close to the chest, melancholic moon, deepening sorrow for whom He did not do anything but started with a poem. Then he turned around and used the corner of his eyes to scan his enemy, Xu Huai Shang As they say the fallen flower has its fate to bloom but not in the flowing river, why would you insist on pushing a revenge when you can just let it go?

Hah? Xu Huai Shang's face blushed immediately. There was shock, suspicion, anger and some humor in her mind. What is wrong with you? Why are you turning this into some romance novel all of a sudden? Once the words left her lips, it dawned on Xu Huai Shang herself, he quickly added, Oh~ I get it now Even though she was late for a few seconds, she ultimately saw through Brother Jue's plan, Trying to gain Stylish Points is it?

But to her consternation Once these words left her mouth, her own Stylish Points had dropped by 20 and became negative 10

[Damn it] Seeing that, her expression darkened and she thought to herself, [That unknown and ridiculous value has dropped to the negative looks like I can't say anything serious] At this point, she lifted her eyes to look at Brother Jue not far away, [But to raise the points like he did by saying those sophomore syndrome things and doing similar actions how shameless one has to be!]

Indeed, it was very shameless, but Feng Bujue did not mind. That was where the system was fair, since in terms of actual fighting, Xu Huai Shang already had the obvious advantage, then the system would have to give Feng Bujue a chance to fighting and currently, the manifestation of this method was the Stylish Point.

Ah~ The wind tonight sure is howling pitifully Facing Xu Huai Shang's interrogation, Feng Bujue did not answer but he lifted his head to the moon and continued with a conversation meant to be mocked. However Xu Huai Shang could not say anything because if she did, she would lose.

hmph Her face was as red as apple. Does that mean the wind is actually crying

hmm? Feng Bujue focused his eyes to look at Xu Huai Shang. He gasped internally in shock. [What she managed to continue my sentence? I thought you are someone who would never do something as shameless as this, looks like I am mistaken!]

At the same time, Xu Huai Shang's inner thought was, [No no, no, no, no that was so shameless! I thought it would not mean anything to say something like that, but I cannot live with the image in my mind now!]

Neither party knew what the other was thinking because on the surface, they appeared calm and collected.

I can fight with you Feng Bujue paused for two seconds before continuing, But can you really counter my blade?

Why can't i? Xu Huai Shang answered.

Because your heart still hasn't quieted down yet. After Feng Bujue said that, he himself was thinking. [What the fuck what nonsense am I saying?!]

How would you know that? Xu Huai Shang said coldly.

I just know. Brother Jue also said coldly.

And then the two basically grumbled internally at the same time. [We are like two idiots!]

Perhaps the fact that my heart has not quieted down is a good thing Xu Huai Shang wanted to change the subject so she quickly said, Because your blade has never calmed down either.

My blade Feng Bujue said as he raised his blade in his arm but he did not intend to unsheathe it either. Is indeed restless he paused, But my heart is already long dead.

[Then how are you still alive! Please go and die! How shameless can you get! If we continue to do this, even I will not be able to face myself in the future anymore!] Xu Huai Shang blasted the man in her heart. Even though her lips were twitching with words that wanted to pour out but she knew she had to control herself. Instead she forced herself to continue in this play, Is that so? When did it die?

Feng Bujue scoffed and parted his bangs back, hmph of course, it was since the moment I have mastered 'that skill'.
