I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 645: Chapter 645 Sword Array Hall

Song Jian bought a few more blank Sword Stones and a Sword Array Talisman Cutter, spending all his hundred points, before he left the shop.

“Is this guy trying to squeeze every last point out of me?” Song Jian looked at the bulging small cloth bag in his hand and thought to himself.

Back at his residence, Song Jian instructed his two maids not to disturb him, took out the “Basic Sword Array Analysis” and started studying.

After carefully flipping through the entire book, the word “Sword Array” appeared in Song Jian’s skill bar at level 1;

System: You have learned the basic Sword Array, mastered the skill of setting up Sword Array, and obtained the title of “Junior Sword Array Master”.

Junior Sword Array Master (Title): Equipping this title increases the speed of setting up a Sword Array by 5% and the success rate by 5%;

“Not bad!” A smile crept onto Song Jian’s face, with the help of the gaming system, he could learn any skill quickly as long as he had a Skill Book.

This “Basic Sword Array Analysis” only includes a simple array, the Blazing Blade Array. He could carve the array diagram of the Blazing Blade Array on a blank Sword Stone, and once successful, he could activate the array diagram on the Sword Stone for attack at any time;

He continued to flip through the book, and each time he gained proficiency in “Basic Sword Array Analysis”. He spent an entire afternoon almost memorizing the entire book, and his “Sword Array” level only increased to level three, and his proficiency could no longer increase.

After a light dinner, Song Jian took out a blank Sword Stone and a small wooden box the size of his palm. Opening the box, there was a silver needle as thin as a hair. The needle was only a knuckle-long, sparkling like a star.

This was the Sword Array Talisman Cutter, which cost Song Jian sixty points alone.

Song Jian’s eyes focused on the silver Talisman Cutter. In a short while, the Talisman Cutter began to vibrate slightly, slowly floating in mid-air as Song Jian’s Mental Strength began to slowly consume;

The so-called carving of a Sword Array involves using Mental Strength to control the Talisman Cutter to carve a complete array diagram on the Sword Stone.

Song Jian looked at the trembling Talisman Cutter in front of him and frowned, he took back the Sword Stone in his hand, it would be a waste to carve the array diagram on the Sword Stone in this state, a waste of Sword Stones, a waste of points.

It’s like using a trembling hand to embroider, the final result is just wasting materials;

“I have to practice controlling the Talisman Cutter first.” Song Jian thought to himself.

However, not long after, Song Jian felt dizzy, and the silver Talisman Cutter fell onto the table with a “clatter”.

“It consumes too much Mental Strength…” Song Jian’s face was gloomy, he took out a pill and swallowed it, gradually recovering his Mental Strength.

“It seems that learning the Sword Array is much harder than I thought…”

In fact, with the help of the system, Song Jian was already much faster than others. Ordinary people who first learn the Sword Array cannot master it, even after one or two years of hard work, and he only took a short afternoon to become a junior Sword Array Master. Although he still can’t produce any Sword Array Stone, he already has the qualities of a Sword Array Master.

After resting for a while, when his Mental Strength recovered, Song Jian began to control the Talisman Cutter again. He spent three straight hours and consumed enough pills to bankrupt an inner disciple, but the level of his Talisman Cutter control didn’t improve.

“Why is it so hard? No wonder the shop owner looked at me like I was wasting time learning the Sword Array. It seems only real Swordmasters can learn the Sword Array!” Song Jian thought, unwilling to concede.

The so-called Swordmasters are those with first-tier Combat Power, their attributes are much higher than ordinary disciples, so they naturally have no problem controlling the Talisman Cutter.

Song Jian was holding a pill, about to put it in his mouth, but suddenly felt nauseous. The faint fragrance emanating from the pill became a repulsive smell his nose;

“I can’t eat any more, my body is sending a warning, if I eat more, I’ll develop pill toxin, which is harmful to the body!” Song Jian frowned.

The pills in this world do not have a cooldown time, they can be used consecutively, but if you eat too many at once, they can produce toxins in the body.

“Am I to just give up?” Song Jian frowned, then an idea hit him, he picked up the silver Talisman Cutter.

Spiritual Sword Control Technique!

Suddenly, a transparent Spirit Sword condensed from Song Jian’s forehead, he controlled this Spirit Sword to shoot at the silver Talisman Cutter;

As soon as the Spirit Sword neared the Talisman Cutter, it immediately entered it. Suddenly, Song Jian controlled the silver Talisman Cutter as if it was second nature, flexible and nimble, as if he had been practicing for a long time.

What made him even more delighted was that after the Spirit Sword was integrated into the Talisman Cutter, controlling the Talisman Cutter no longer required the consumption of Mental Strength. That is to say, each time he made a Sword Array Stone, he only needed to consume thirty points of Mental Strength and he could control the Talisman Cutter indefinitely to make Sword Array Stones. Even a Swordmaster with first-tier Combat Power couldn’t do this. It was as if…

“It’s like a glitch in the system…” Excitement shone in Song Jian’s eyes.

For more than a month, Song Jian stayed home. Every day, he instructed his maid to go out and buy Sword Stones for him. When he ran out of points, he’d exchange his gold, silver, and jewels. There were several baskets of defaced Sword Stones, each time the two maids watched as the ruined Sword Stones were removed, they were speechless.

One day, Song Jian was controlling the Sword Array Talisman Cutter to engrave the Sword Array diagram on the Sword Stone, and six shining Sword Stones were already placed on his table.

At this moment, a maid suddenly shouted at the door: “Young master, the Sect Leader wants to see you!”

Song Jian jolted, and with a “crack”, the Sword Stone in his hand emitted a slight shattering sound.

Song Jian expressionlessly threw the ruined Sword Stone in his hand into the trash bin, taking the remaining six Sword Stones, these are the ones he had prepared for creating the Seven Stars Sword Array, he only needed one more to complete the set.

This time the summon was not a formal one, Song Jian arrived at Sect Leader Liu Qingyun’s private courtyard.

“I heard that you’ve been secluded at home lately, studying the way of the Sword Array?” Liu Qingyun laughed when he saw Song Jian enter.

Song Jian nodded, this was not a secret in the Qingyun Sword Sect. At this time, his Sword Array skill had reached level nine, and he was about to be promoted from Junior Sword Array Master to Intermediate Sword Array Master.

There were only a few in the entire Qingyun Sword Sect who could reach the level of Intermediate Sword Array Master, and there wasn’t a single Advanced Sword Array Master.

“Closing yourself off from the world won’t work.” Liu Qingyun smiled, “Since you like to research into the Sword Array, then go to the Sword Array Hall. You won’t need to waste points purchasing those materials…”

Song Jian’s eyes lit up, it seemed that his foster father was specially taking care of him.

However, he soon realized that his mission was to destroy the Qingyun Sword Sect and kill the man in front of him. His heart suddenly became conflicted.
