Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 44 Flying Snow Battle Suit

Lu Chao rode a tiger, wielded a sword and a broadsword, and fought tirelessly on the beach all night. By dawn, he had reached level 13 and had collected a lot of low-level materials and cultivation insights.

Unfortunately, no more treasure chests appeared.

He glanced at the sky and then headed to his private cave.

Not far away, Zhao Weike yawned and said, "It really lives up to its reputation as an AI. It fought the night beasts all night without resting at all. If I had this ability, what would I have to worry about? Thanks to it, I finally made it through the night. Now I should go to the mountaintop to prepare for the sword duel."

After saying this, Zhao Weike stood up and walked towards the top of the mountain.

After resting briefly in his cave, Lu Chao released the three-star Earthly Deity [Black Saber-toothed Tiger] into the courtyard.

The Black Saber-toothed Tiger remains the size of a sheep even after being released into the wild. It can increase the spiritual energy index of the cave by 10 points. Its ability in the cave is also its function. It can be appointed as a guardian. If any enemy illegally enters the cave at the top of Lu Chao, it will take the initiative to attack.

As for its combat power, the specifics are unknown and are related to the level of the local deity. When the cave dwelling level is raised to LV3 or above, the [Black Saber-toothed Tiger] can also be appointed as a guardian beast.

What's interesting is that when the little tyrant of the cave, the Boiling Blood Lion Dog, saw it, he tucked his tail between his legs and walked in a crawling posture. He didn't even dare to play with the Healing Grass, which made Lu Chao laugh out loud.

A moment later, at six o'clock in the morning, Lu Chaoding, riding a tiger, carrying a sword and a broadsword, arrived at the mountaintop camp on time.

When Zhang Defa and the others saw him, their eyes widened.

"Seriously? This is really that bizarre!"

"What Zhao Qunzi said was actually true!"

"Riding a tiger, wielding a sword, and brandishing a broadsword—Brother Ding's cheat code is just outrageous!"

"He's so skilled, I'm starting to wonder if we're playing the same game!"

"Hey bro, show us your mount's stats!"

"Brother Ding, I don't owe you any money anymore, remember that, but don't hit me, okay..."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Niu Daren suddenly "activated," clapping his hands and shouting, "Junior brothers and sisters, today is the second day of the sword competition! Look at the prizes the sect elders have prepared for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of light descended from the sky. Just like yesterday, there was a large question mark inside the ball of light at first, then it shattered and turned into a set of clothes. The clothes were stacked together, with a red leather soft armor on top.

"It's the Boiling Blood Battle Suit!" Niu Daren shouted. "This is an excellent outfit, both practical and good-looking. Even I want one! Junior brothers and sisters, cheer up! If you don't work hard in the sword competition, I might just take this Boiling Blood Battle Suit!"

A system notification followed: "523131241 The beginner village duel storyline has progressed. Today's duel reward is the three-star costume Boiling Blood Battle Suit. All players, please assemble at the mountaintop camp. Enter the battle space in five minutes. Latecomers will not be accepted."

"The Blood Boiling Armor?" Lu Chao shook his head. With his four-star [Divine Insight], he had absolutely no need for today's reward.

"Ding! Automatically received quest [Day 2 of the Sword Tournament]. Quest description: Participate in the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament, defeat other players and Niu Daren to obtain the three-star costume, Boiling Blood Battle Suit!"

"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has been activated, updating the tracking mission with altered content: Participate in the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament, and if you are defeated by other players or Niu Daren, you can obtain the three-star fashion item, Flying Snow Battle Suit."

"Huh? The Blood Boiling Armor has turned into the Snowflake Armor?"

At this moment, Lu Chaoding began to doubt whether the unreliable system had simply created the equipment on the spot.

The battle began quickly. This time, Lu Chao entered the battle space riding a tiger and flying on his sword. In addition, he had leveled up, making his attributes much stronger than yesterday.

Although Lu Chao's sword was hidden and he didn't have the help of the splitting sword shadow to break his toughness, his greatsword attack, plus the fire explosion, could still reliably take away two points of toughness with a single normal attack.

Among the group, Zhao Weike was equipped with the Pig Marshal weapon that could add two points of resilience, but unfortunately he had died too many times and his level had dropped below level five, so he only had two points of resilience.

Other players, whose level is above five but below ten, have only one point of resilience.

Therefore, Lu Chao could easily break the resilience of these players with a single attack, and once the resilience damage is dealt, it would be an instant kill.

In the first round, Lu Chaoding killed Zhao Weike. The damage from the attack was triggered after the first fire explosion. Of course, Lu Chaoding also delivered the line, "How dare you owe money and not pay it back."

In the second round, Lu Chao killed Wang Yingluo with a single blow, and everyone shouted the line "How dare you owe money and not pay it back!" for him.

The other players were all free of debt, so starting from the third round, Lu Chaoding began attacking Niu Daren, not using normal attacks, but instead using the combat skill [Mounted Slash].

Using the [Mount Slash] requires two points of Battle Spirit. It has two stages of attack, meaning it has two attack actions. It can reduce the target's tenacity by two points, and its damage output is quite good. What's interesting is the knockback effect.

If we consider the attack cycle as running laps, with a lap distance of 10000, then a 20% knockback means a knockback distance of 2000. Specifically for Niu Daren, whose speed is only 100, a 20% knockback can delay his action time by 20!

In the fourth round, Lu Chaoding cleared Niu Daren's resilience and eliminated him. After that, he pretended to disconnect, lay down, and waited to die.

The players who didn't owe money were excited. After a chaotic battle involving forming cliques, scheming, and shouting, Zhang Defa actually won the Boiling Blood Armor.

"Thanks, Brother Ding, and thanks everyone. I never thought that I, who just lay low all the way through, would become the final winner. I have to say, this sword competition was so much fun."

Zhang Defa was very pleased. He directly showed the attributes of the Boiling Blood Battle Suit. This outfit increases health and defense, provides a 10% critical hit chance, a 10% damage reduction, and a 50% increase in battle spirit gathering speed. The attributes can be said to be excellent.

Lu Chao asked Niu Daren for a reward. Niu Daren scratched his head and took out the Flying Snow Battle Suit from his pocket with a puzzled look.

=====

Note 3: Using [Frost Jade] and [Snowflake Stone], you can refine the [Flying Snow Battle Armor] to +1. Three-star costumes can be refined up to +6, but after refinement, they will be bound and cannot be traded.

"A 10% speed reduction isn't bad. If it's combined with the 20% poison speed reduction from the Earthly Moon Shadow Azure Dragon, it's equivalent to a 28% speed reduction, which is also pretty good. Maybe it'll be useful after we unlock [Master of Escape]. Of course, in terms of versatility, it's still far behind a +2 refined four-star [Divine Insight]!"

Lu Chao had no intention of changing his attire. After putting away his Flying Snow Battle Suit, he opened the entrance to his private cave in front of everyone and then walked in with a cold expression.

When Lu Chaoding left his private cave again, it was almost noon.

Clutching a dubious lottery ticket, he muttered to himself, "I'm stuck at 12 o'clock, might I draw another three-star item!"
