If the ordinary attacks were already so powerful, the power of the skills must be even more terrifying.
Wang Xiao silently calculated in his heart for a moment. Then, with a thought, a hundred -meter-tall mountain rose from the ground in the territory!
“Skill! [10% Slash]!”
Wang Xiao shouted and swung his saber horizontally. A snow-white saber beam bloomed from the blade and slashed heavily at the mountain at a lightninz speed!
With a loud bang, gravel and dust flew dozens of meters away. A huge slash mark more than ten meters long and deep appeared on the originally flat mountain.
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes and observed for a moment, but he did not have much of a reaction. Compared to the stunning slash from before, the power of this attack had not even reached his expectations.
However, this result was understandable. From the introduction of the [10%
Slash] skill, it could be seen that the highlight of this skill was that it had a “50% chance of breaking through all defenses”. It was understandable that its power was slightly lower.
After resting for a moment and waiting for the dust to dissipate, Wang Xiao tightened the hilt of the saber in his hand and activated the second skill of the [Unlimited Slashing Saber]: [100% Slash]!
10% of his energy instantly disappeared, and a snow-white saber beam appeared out of thin air. It looked about the same as the [Ten Degrees Slash], but this saber beam was nearly a hundred meters long. The power contained in it was worlds apart!
In an instant, the snow-white saber beam traversed the mountainside. Just like when the ordinary attack cut off the stone pillar, the hundred-meter-tall mountain did not move at all as if the attack had missed. However, an extremely thin crack slowly appeared on the mountainside.
As the upper half of the mountain was too heavy, it did not slide down on its own like a broken stone pillar. However, after seeing the thin mark, Wang Xiao knew that this mountain had definitely been cut in half.
Wang Xiao was ecstatic. With a thought, Wang Xiao restored his territory and directly put away the [Unlimited Slashing Saber].
With just this [100% Slash] that consumed 10% of his energy, Wang Xiao dared to fight a level seven platinum Undead Swordsman in close combat. The final [Unlimited Slash] required 50% of his energy. Was there a need to test its power?
“With this divine artifact, that batch of resources will be settled!”
Wang Xiao chuckled with a meaningful expression. Then, he left the territory and slept soundly.
The biggest stone in his heart was lifted. He even felt exceptionally peaceful when he slept. When he woke up the next morning, he felt exceptionally refreshed.
After making some simple food to fill his stomach, Wang Xiao went to the Yuheng Academy. He originally planned to go straight to the Lord’s Shop to look for Lin Xiang, but Tian Gang specially informed him that he was holding a celebration today. Logically speaking, he should go to the academy to show his face.
When he arrived at Yuheng Academy, Wang Xiao could already sense the joy inside before he entered. After entering, he saw that the place was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The students passing by were all smiles.
“Wang Xiao! Good morning!”
“It’s been hard on the academy for ranking assessment this time!”
“Wang Xiao! Hurry up and go to the office to take a look. Teacher Tian seems to be looking for you!”
Seeing Wang Xiao appear, the students greeted him warmly. Their attitudes were simply worlds apart from when he had just transferred schools.
Wang Xiao chuckled and replied to them one by one. Then, he walked towards the office building. Just as he arrived downstairs and before he could enter, he saw an acquaintance at the door.
“Academy Head Qin? Why are you here?”
Wang Xiao greeted with a surprised expression. He did not understand why the Academy Head of Kaiyang Academy would appear here.
Qin Kaiyang seemed to be waiting for someone. When he heard this, he turned around and recognized Wang Xiao. He was slightly stunned before smiling. “Why? Am I not welcomed to the celebration?”
“You are! Of course, you’re welcome!”
Wang Xiao hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, but he was a little puzzled.
He did not know much about this celebration, but from what Tian Gang had said last night, this seemed to be an internal event of the academy. Logically speaking, outsiders should not be invited, especially since the person who came was the academy head’s “enemy.”
Before Wang Xiao could figure it out, Qin Kaiyang asked casually, “By the way, have you seen your Academy Head today?”
“I’ve only just arrived… but I saw him once last night.”
Wang Xiao replied truthfully. After a pause, he asked, ‘Why are you looking for our Academy Head?”
“Nothing much. I just want to chat with him.”
Qin Kaiyang chuckled and waved his hand. As he spoke, he turned to the side and made way for the door. “You’re here to look for Teacher for something, right? Then you can go in first. I’ll wait here for a while.”
“See you later, then.”
Wang Xiao nodded and entered the office building. Just as he arrived at the floor of the class director’s office, he saw Tian Gang standing in the corridor with a communicator anxiously.
Seeing Wang Xiao come over, Tian Gang’s eyes clearly lit up. He waved from afar and shouted, “You’re finally here. Come over quickly!”
Wang Xiao agreed and jogged over. ‘Why are you looking for me?”
“It’s about last night.”
Tian Gang waved his communication device. “Have you seen the Academy Head? I still can’t contact him.”
“You still can’t contact him?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. “I saw him in the military building last night. At that time, the Academy Head was talking to Commander Chen about something. Has he not returned since?”
“If he came back, would I be so worried?”
Tian Gang sighed anxiously. “The celebration is about to begin. Why is the Academy Head not around? By the way, did you see the battle in the military building? I’ll ask Adjutant Qi about it again. You can go back first!”
Before he could finish speaking, Tian Gang had already walked to the side with the communicator. Although Wang Xiao felt a little puzzled, he could only agree and turn around to go downstairs.
When he arrived downstairs, Qin Kaiyang was still standing at the entrance of the office building.
When Wang Xiao entered, he did not feel anything. Now that he was walking out, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Qin Kaiyang was clearly blocking the door!
From the looks of it, Qin Kaiyang definitely did not come to look for Huang Tingwei just to “chat”. Perhaps Huang Tingwei was hiding from him.
Wang Xiao did not know what grudges there were between the two of them, and he was not interested in knowing. However, Qin Kaiyang was his former Academy Head after all. He still had to block the door under the sun at such an old age, making him feel a little sorry for him.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao quickly stepped forward and said helplessly with a bitter smile, “Academy Head Qin, don’t wait here. Our Academy Head isn’t here.”
“He’s not here?”
Qin Kaiyang was stunned. “Isn’t Yuheng holding a celebration today? As the Academy Head, why isn’t he here?”
“I’m not sure about that.”
Wang Xiao spread his hands helplessly. Then, he thought of something and continued, “However, our Academy Head should be in the military building. I saw him there last night.”
“The military building?”
Qin Kaiyang’s pupils constricted. He turned around and walked towards the entrance of the academy.. The moment he turned around, Wang Xiao clearly saw his abnormally solemn expression!
