Capítulo 17: Chapter 17: How is Dai Zong?

Editor: Henyee Translations

This woman with the scar clearly had it figured out.

Now in the underground palace, only she and Ye Weiming were left. In her present condition, if Ye Weiming wanted to kill her, there would be no escape for her.

Rather than wasting energy worrying about the sky falling, she'd better spend her time detoxifying and healing.

Otherwise, being poisoned as she was, she probably wouldn't even be able to beat the bandits lurking in the underground palace.

Shaking his head, Ye Weiming pulled out a bottle of realgar wine, throwing it casually so it smashed against the wall behind the woman. The bottle shattered, splashing her with its contents.

The woman with the scar glared at Ye Weiming, anger flitting through her gaze: "What the hell are you doing?"

You may kill me, but you must not humiliate me!

Clearing out the underground palace for its treasures by killing is passable, I can handle myself with 100 plus pounds of me here, make a move as you wish! If I flinched, then I would not be a heroic hero!

But treating people like this is too much.

Where is your character, where is your bottom line?

Ye Weiming's gaze fell on the reddened wound on the woman's right hand, where two ominous bite marks still oozed black blood: "You know how you got poisoned, right? There are quite a few poisonous snakes in this underground palace, and realgar wine can keep them at bay."

Without waiting for her response, he turned, brandished his sword, and charged off down the right-hand passageway. With the powerful might of his Level 7 "Maiden's Swordsmanship," he cut down the bandits in his path like a scythe through wheat, quickly reaching the end of the corridor.

This place seemed like a dead end, but it actually harbored mysteries.

Following the method recorded by Old Man Li, Ye Weiming found a inconspicuous hole beneath a lamp filled with charcoal on the wall. He inserted two fingers and immediately felt a ring. He hooked it with his finger and pulled down.

"Crack!"

As the mechanism was triggered, the wall at the end of the tunnel opened up, revealing a spacious stone room. There were no lights in the stone room, but by the corridor's glow, he could see that the square room connected to three other passageways.

However, compared to these passageways, the room was filled with a multitude of snakes. There were at least a hundred slithering on the floor, walls, and pillars... everywhere. They all turned their cold eyes on Ye Weiming, the intruder, making his scalp prickle.

Fortunately, Ye Weiming, who expected such a scene, had drunk realgar wine beforehand. The snakes, repelled by the scent of the wine, dared not come any closer.

To be on the safe side, Ye Weiming took out another bottle of realgar wine. After opening the bottle, he promptly doused himself with it. The strong smell of wine pervaded the entire secret tunnel.

With the spread of the wine scent, the snakes retreated a great distance. Only then did Ye Weiming steel himself to step into the stone room. He took out a pre-prepared torch and tested another mechanism inside which closed the stone door he came in from.

With that, Ye Weiming had cut off his own retreat, sharing the room with the snakes, whose mere look was discomforting.

Turning back, under the glare of the torch, Ye Weiming began to closely examine the wall on the left side, a spot previously blocked by the stone door.

Ding! The passive skill "Forensic Examination" was activated. You discover that the 13th brick from the bottom on the left side of the stone door seems loose, as though it has been pried and replaced before.

Upon receiving the system prompt, Ye Weiming couldn't help but curse the game designers under his breath.

The location of Old Man Li's treasure was impossible to spot when the stone door was open. To uncover this secret, one would need to close the stone door first. But with colorful poisonous snakes everywhere in the stone room and a wide, bright passage at the back, shutting off one's only escape route required tremendous courage.

Moreover, judging by the layout of the stone room, the forward passages and the empty central platform in the room, all seemed more mysterious. Compared to it, the corner behind the stone door was the most neglected spot.

Concealing the treasure here, without Old Man Li's map for guidance, even Ye Weiming, who had the Forensic Examination skill, would have overlooked the treasure, let alone other players?

Ye Weiming reached out and removed the obviously displaced brick, finding a greased-paper package behind it. He took it out and opened it immediately. He acquired the secret book "How Is Mount Tai".

How Is Mount Tai (Supreme Mental Method): The supreme mental method of the Mount Tai Sect. With a powerful mental calculation ability, one can anticipate the enemy's moves and defeat them in one blow! Cultivation requirement: None.

Unique skill!

It's actually a unique martial art from the Martial World, and it's a mental method skill at that!

Before this, the highest-level martial art Ye Weiming had received was the beginner-level Qinggong skill "Eight-step Frog Catcher" given by Chou Ba. He had never expected to land a unique martial art from the Martial World this time!

In "Eternal Chivalry," martial arts are classified by their power level into six levels: Common, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Unique Martial Art, and World-defining Divine Skill. They are also classified by type into three categories: Inner Strength, Moveset, and Mental Method.

Mental methods are a rather special category, often accompanying some advanced martial arts. They generally have a lower level because they depend on other martial arts. An independent mental method epitomizes rarity.

You should know that there's a limit to how many martial arts each player can learn; they can't just learn as many as they want.

Any player's skill list only has thirteen slots each for Inner Strength and moveset. Once they are full, if the player wants to learn a new martial art, they have to forget a previous one, and any attribute bonus from cultivating that martial art would be wiped out.

Mental methods are a bit different in that there's no limit to how many you can learn, but there's only one slot for equipped mental methods. That is to say, no matter how many mental methods you learn, you can only equip one at a time to enjoy its attribute bonuses.

After all, mental methods cultivate one's mind. What mental method you choose reflects your mental state in battle, so you have to be singular in your focus.

Looking again at the cultivation requirements for "How is Dai Zong," there are none!

Does this mean he can practice it now?

Without any hesitation, Ye Weiming immediately taps the secret book, and as it vanishes in a flash of white light, a system alert promptly arrives.

Ding! Unique mental method "How is Dai Zong" learned.

How is Dai Zong (Unique Skills)

The grandest mental method of the Mount Tai Sect, with superb mental arithmetic abilities, you can outwit your enemies and topple them at once!

Level: 1

Familiarity: 0/1000

Attack Damage +10%, Accuracy +10%, Critical Damage +10%.

Activate during a fight to predict the enemy's moves, overthrowing them with a single blow!

Advanced mental methods truly live up to their name, their attributes increase attack power and critical damage based on percentage. Such effects tend to become stronger over time, significantly improving his attack maximum. And this is just the first level, the effects will only get stronger with level advancements!

And this is the addition under normal circumstances, how would it look once the mental method is activated?

Just thinking about it is thrilling!

Calming his excitement, Ye Weiming once more opens the stone door and leaves this chilling snake nest.

He takes a turn and finds Scarred Woman standing by the fork in the road where they first passed each other. Her arms were crossed over her chest, back leaning against the stone wall. She's standing on her tiptoe with her foot propped against the stone wall behind her, watching him with a half-smile.

With the secret book in his possession, Ye Weiming isn't as wary of her as before. He walks casually towards her and half-jokingly comments, "You seemed pretty badly poisoned earlier- you got better already?"

"Of course." The Scarred Woman replied confidently, "Besides hidden weapons, we of the Tang Sect are known for our use of poison. With both our antidotes and the Sect's Inner Strength, poisonous toxins can be significantly restrained. Although the snake venom was potent, as long as I had some time, detoxification wouldn't be difficult."

"Congratulations then, and may your harvest today be bountiful." With these words, he passed by her, retracing his steps through the passage he came from.

Right now, Ye Weiming can hardly wait to find a weak enemy to test out the effects of activating "How is Dai Zong."

"Wait a second." Seeing Ye Weiming leaving, Scarred Woman quickly stopped him, "Interested in teaming up to fight a boss? Considering how you helped me before, I only need the quest items. You can have everything else."
