Chapter 30 Sword Debate
Chapter 30 Sword Debate
Lu Chao stood there stunned for five seconds.
"This idiot deducts my cultivation points just for signing up!"
Lu Chaoding shook his head, immediately losing the idea of signing up.
He checked the character information panel and found that there was another Tianxing Sword Debate window in addition to the Tianxing Forum window.
According to the system prompts, players can engage in virtual battles, or virtual duels, through this window, which is similar to the arena.
This virtual duel is different from the Lion Mountain duel. The Lion Mountain duel is a duel between players from the same village, while the virtual duel is open to all online players on the server and does not allow the use of potions.
Simply put, the virtual duel event has two types of battles: single-player battles and team battles. There are many ways to play, such as players can challenge specific players, be randomly matched, set up bounties, and so on.
Lu Chaoding is currently unable to participate in the virtual sword duel because he has not yet obtained a duel number.
After some research, he discovered that the Tournament ID is a player's unique identity credential in the virtual tournament. To challenge a player by name in the virtual tournament or to track their tournament progress, the Tournament ID is required.
The player's duel ID is usually not displayed. In the virtual duel, players are shown by their nickname, which is the player's name by default, but can be changed once for free.
Lu Chao was most interested in the virtual sword duel mission, and after searching around, he found it.
The virtual duels are more like achievements; there are eight in total, four for individual duels and four for team duels.
个人论剑的四个任务分别是:「参与一次个人虚拟论剑并获胜」、「在个人虚拟论剑中达成5连胜」、「在个人虚拟论剑中达成10连胜」、「在个人虚拟论剑中达成100连胜」,任务奖励分别是抽奖券1张、5张、10张、100张。
Team tasks are similar.
Lu Chaoding's tasks were all altered; the requirement to win was changed to losing, while the rewards remained the same.
"Losing is much easier than winning. A hundred-game winning streak is hard to achieve, but a hundred-game losing streak is a piece of cake. It's the team losing streak that's a bit more difficult; finding teammates might be hard!"
Lu Chaoding silently made a summary.
Since he didn't have a martial arts competition number yet, he couldn't do the virtual martial arts competition task. Seeing that there was no movement in Zhao Weike's and others' tents in the camp, he was a little frustrated.
Those tents are special structures, completely soundproof, so Lu Chaoding can't force Zhao Weike and the others to get up. If he attacks the tents, Niu Daren will probably stop him because of the safe zone settings.
"Lazy aliens!"
Lu Chao sighed. He still had 100 unreliable lottery tickets in his storage space, which he had obtained from the brick-throwing mission. He decided to use them to try his luck.
Lu Chaoding didn't examine each of the 100 unreliable lottery tickets, so he didn't know their specific attributes. What Lu Chaoding was looking for was the unknown. After arriving at the Destiny Platform, he immediately did a hundred consecutive draws.
hum...
A vortex appeared in the sky, and hundreds of rays of light competed to shoot out from it. Lu Chao looked up and his face immediately fell!
It was all white light!
"Other players at least have a pity system after a hundred consecutive pulls, what's this compared to that?"
Lu Chaoding shook his head, his enthusiasm for checking the prizes immediately waning.
Three minutes later, to Lu Chao's surprise, he actually produced a [Healing Grass], which was a one-star Earthly Deity.
=====
Earthly Deity: Blood-Returning Grass
Star rating: One star
Occupation: General
Level: LV1
Current effect: When equipped with this Earthly Deity, upon attacking, being hit, or being affected by an ally's skill, immediately recover 10 health points.
Note 1: Using the [Spirit of Healing] can upgrade the level of the Earthly Healing Grass, but the Healing Grass can only be upgraded to LV2 at most.
Note 2: The Earth God will be bound after upgrading.
=====
"So the Earthly Deities aren't just animals, they can also be plants! This Earthly Deity may seem ordinary, but if it encounters an attack like the Splitting Light Sword Shadow, its healing amount is quite considerable. Let's keep it in reserve!"
Lu Chao first put away the healing herb, thinking that he would plant it in his private cave after counting all the prizes.
He then counted the prizes and surprisingly received another set of clothes. The outfit was called "Good Student". This outfit consisted of long pants and a long jacket, in the style of sportswear, with rubber-soled cloth shoes. It looked like a standard school uniform from a certain elementary school. It was even uglier than the beginner outfit, but it did have an attribute: "Gain of cultivation points by killing enemies +10%".
"This should be considered a decent outfit. I'll keep it; I can wear it when I'm grinding in the jungle!"
Lu Chaoding put away the "Three Good Student" award. After another two minutes, he finished counting the prizes and found nothing else worth mentioning.
A moment later, Lu Chaoding "released" the [Healing Grass] into his private cave. It was a small red-leaf grass, only the height of a palm, which added 5 points to the spiritual energy index of the cave. It could even move. At first, it was in the center of the courtyard, and then it ran to the side of the small pond and took root. The Boiling Blood Lion Dog was quite mischievous. It carried it to Lu Chaoding's feet, and as soon as it let go, the little grass darted towards the pond again.
Boiling Blood Lion Dog chased after it, barking loudly, and brought it back, placing it at Lu Chao's feet as if to claim credit. The Blood-Returning Grass then ran away again, and Boiling Blood Lion Dog wagged its tail and quickly chased after it once more.
Seeing the dog and the grass playing so happily, Lu Chao found it amusing as well.
As for the ability of the Blood-Regenerating Grass within its exclusive cave, which is to produce Blood-Regenerating Pills, the production time and quantity are entirely dependent on chance.
After all that commotion, by the time Lu Chaoding returned to the temporary camp it was already 7 a.m., and Zhao Weike and the others were still not up.
"Lazy aliens!"
Lu Chaoding sighed again. He sat down by the now-extinguished campfire, then took out the [Cultivation Insights] he had obtained from hunting in the wild last night. After using it down to just one copy, Lu Chaoding's level suddenly reached 11.
"Ding! You have leveled up to level 11. Your health has increased by 200, attack power by 20, battle spirit cap by 1, and cultivation cap by 500!"
"Their fighting spirit has truly been boosted!"
Lu Chao was overjoyed and then looked at his own attribute information.

"210 attack power, and it can now unleash the Mighty Dragon's power! It's almost ready to fight the Prince Turtle!"
Lu Chao rubbed his hands together, suppressing the urge to continue consuming his cultivation to level up. He was afraid that he would encounter another tampered mission that required him to deliberately die, thus losing a level and wasting his cultivation.
A moment later, Zhao Weike was the first to emerge from the tent. He stared wide-eyed at Lu Chaoding, his face filled with surprise: "Brother Ding, you've handed over all the Blood Fangs? You killed 3000 in one night? Are you a monster?"
"Enough talk, get in the group, let's go fight the Prince Turtle!"
Lu Chaoding immediately sent a team application to Zhao Weike, who immediately agreed. Then, he walked over to Niu Daren and signed up to participate in the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament.
Soon, Niu Daren said to Zhao Weike, "Junior Brother Zhao Weike, the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament is about to begin. Remember your tournament number: 5231312411. Now, please proceed to the top of Lion Mountain!"
Then, a golden light flashed on Zhao Weike's body, and he gained 1000 cultivation points.
"Hey Ding, why haven't you signed up for the duel yet? Haha, I'm taking the number 1 spot!"
Zhao Weike said with a smile.
Lu Chaoding also noticed that the so-called sword competition number was a 10-digit number. The first 9 digits were the number of the novice village, and the last digit was probably the registration number, which was estimated to be 1 to 8.
