There’s An Instance Dungeon In My Living Room

Chapter 47: Floating Cloud Sword Technique

“Hehe, the Sky Sword Sect’s Sword Technique is indeed amazing. This kid is good at kung fu, but it’s a pity that he is not as good as me,” Zhao Beifeng said.

“Go ahead and boast. It was obvious that the two of you were on par with each other. If it wasn’t for me, you might not have even won,” Chu Ge thought.

Zhao Beifeng spoke as he glanced at Chu Ge, “But the techniques you just displayed earlier were pretty good. I thought you were just going to mess around, but it seems like you do have some skills.” Then, he reached out and made a gesture of invitation towards the corpse, “Since we already made an agreement before the battle, you can go and touch this leader’s corpse.”

Chu Ge was a little embarrassed after hearing what Zhao Beifeng said. After all, for the entire battle, Chu Ge had spent most of the time playing a supporting role. But, strictly speaking, without him, Zhao Beifeng might not have been able to win that battle. Therefore, Chu Ge was not embarrassed to go and touch the corpse.

“Brother Zhao is too polite. Brother Zhao’s saber technique is more amazing.”

Without holding back, Chu Ge walked straight to the corpse.

First, he received a dozen or so coins, which were basically useless.

Then, he received a piece of clothing.

Pale Blue Swordsman’s Robe (Cloth armor/Robe)

Equipment attributes:

Body defense + 3.

Leg defense + 2.

Arm defense + 1.

Agility + 1.

Body technique + 5.

Item introduction: This is a pale blue robe worn by wandering Jianghu swordsmen during battles. Although this garment does not have any defense abilities, its close-fitting design will allow the wandering swordsmen to display their body techniques better and avoid attacks from the enemy.

The attributes of this robe were utterly different from the armor Chu Ge received in the past. It pretty much had no defense ability. Even the Kobold’s terrible leather armor had higher attributes than this. However, this robe added one point to agility and five points to body technique. It seemed that the wandering swordsmen from the Wuxia world had no habits of collecting armor.

No wonder, in the Wuxia world, even the Bosses had human qualities. The health of the wandering swordsmen was probably not very high either. Fighting for blood would not be a wise choice; therefore, they would often dodge instead.

If he ignored the attributes, this robe looked very attractive and might be useful in the future. Chu Ge placed it in his bag while he was thinking about this.

Then, he continued to touch the corpse, as the second item fell. This time, it was a sword.

Cold Moon Sword (Weapon/One-handed sword).

Piercing Damage: 37.

Hacking Damage: 29.

Attacking Speed: Average.

Attacking Distance: 101.

Weapon effects: Cold Moon Shining Physique.

Item introduction: The Cold Moon Sword is a refined weapon made by adding a small amount of cold iron. It not only ensures the sharpness and toughness of the sword, but it also emits a dense biting force.

Chu Ge looked at the bejeweled weapon that emitted a dense cold force in his hand. He became a bit excited. This sword was the first weapon he had received from an Instance Dungeon that he thought was better than the Tang Sword he had. He did not know what cold iron was, but he felt that this sword was even more potent than the Tang Sword, which was made through modern craftsmanship. Also, what could this Cold Moon Shining Physique mean? There were no clear explanations; however, weapons with special effects were better than weapons that had no special effects. Chu Ge had to figure this out later slowly.

He then waved the sword in his hand and felt very comfortable.

However, the real surprise was yet to come. Chu Ge put away the bejeweled sword and continued to receive the third item that was dropped.

Floating Cloud Sword Technique (Martial arts secret book).

Martial arts level: Jianghu martial arts (low-grade).

Learning requirements: Agility 14, endurance 12, intelligence 10.

Item introduction: It is a secret book that has records of the Floating Cloud Sword Technique.

A martial arts secret book! This was the legendary martial arts secret book, which Chu Ge had only ever seen in novels and movies.

He looked excitedly at the martial arts secret book in his hand that was bound by threads. On the blue cover of this book was written the four words Drifting Cloud Sword Technique.

However, doubts immediately appeared in Chu Ge’s head.

“What does this Jianghu-level martial arts mean?” Chu Ge asked.

Zhao Beifeng seemed to have gotten used to Chu Ge’s lack of knowledge as he explained again, “The martial arts from our Wulin is divided into five levels. From the weak to strong, they are:

First, introduction to martial arts.

Second, Jianghu martial arts.

Third, Wulin secret skill.

Fourth, rare and unique skill.

Fifth, unparalleled divine skill.

Jianghu martial arts is pretty much the most popular martial arts because most of the Jianghu people base their martial arts around this level, so it is called Jianghu martial arts. Of course, even for martial arts at the same level, there will be differences. For example, my Wild Wind Saber Technique belongs to the mid-grade Jianhu martial arts, while the Floating Cloud Sword Technique is one of the three sets of level one martial arts from the Sky Sword Sect. It is part of the low-grade Jianghu martial arts.

But for a guy like you who knows nothing about martial arts, this set of sword technique is pretty good.

“So it’s like this,” Chu Ge thought. It seemed that martial arts, like magic, was also divided into five levels. The correspondence to Jianghu martial arts would be expert level magic.

(The levels of magic are divided into apprentice, expert, master, ancestor, and divine levels.)

Although it was a low-grade technique, it was the first second-tier skill book he had obtained.

Chu Ge could not wait to learn it. However, when he tried to open it, he couldn’t. At that moment, he remembered that his attributes were not high enough. His endurance and intelligence were sufficient, but his agility still required three more points.

This Pale Blue Wandering Swordsman’s Robe could add a bit of agility, but it was still not enough.

However, this did not matter, as Chu Ge still had food that could increase his attributes. He thought about it before taking out a Spider Leg.

Spider Leg (Supplement): After it is eaten, health will be restored by 30 points in 10 seconds. Agility will be increased by two points if it is eaten for longer than eight seconds, and its effect will last 60 minutes. Coupled with the Pale Blue Wandering Swordsman’s Robe, it was just enough for Chu Ge’s agility to reach 14 points.

Back when he had swept through the Abandoned Quarry, he roasted a total of five spider legs. However, at the time, he was unwilling to eat one of them. Now, he finally had a chance to eat it.

Chu Ge sat on the ground and started eating. Although the spider legs looked scary, they tasted pretty good. The taste was similar to crabs, but without the freshness of crabs, and it had a little bit of a fishy smell. Overall, the spider legs were quite delicious.

Soon, he had finished eating the roasted spider’s leg. Chu Ge felt that his body seemed to be lighter, as he excitedly opened the book. The martial arts secret book suddenly turned into a stream of light and disappeared. At the same time, a lot of information about the Floating Cloud Sword Technique appeared in Chu Ge’s mind.

Floating Cloud Sword Technique (Jianghu martial arts).

Martial arts type: Sword skill.

Basic move: 13 Styles of Floating Cloud is the basic move of the Floating Cloud Sword Technique. It is famous for its continuous flow, weirdness, and variety.

Advanced ability: Floating Cloud Disappearance (unlocks when martial arts level has reached level five). Activating this mode will significantly increase the level of your body technique, and you will get an opportunity to attack each time you successfully dodge an enemy’s attack. Your level will be significantly increased the next time you attack, activating the inner energy required to consume for maintaining this state.

Ultimate Profound Skill: Floating Cloud of Interchangeability (martial arts level has to reach level ten for it to be unlocked). You can enter the Floating Cloud of Interchangeability state for three seconds. During this state, you can increase your movement speed by 100%, avoid any physical attacks, and will not be targeted. Using this ability will consume 90 points of inner energy, had will have a cool-down period of 60 seconds.

Martial arts introduction: Through observing the floating clouds in the sky, Shang Qingyun, the seventh generation sect leader of the Sky Sword Sect, created this sword technique. He used and combined the continuous flow of sword skills and an unpredictable body technique that was like floating clouds as his primary way of fighting. This is one of the three sets of level one sword techniques belonging to the Sky Sword Sect.

Currently, Chu Ge could only use the basic move, which would be the 13 Styles of Floating Clouds. The other two were all currently grayed out, which meant he was unable to use them.

However, this had made Chu Ge very excited.
