Chapter 05: The Rain Has Stopped
1844 Words
The systems store have a few categories. There are the Weapons categories.
The Armor categories. Then there are also groceries. There is a category for the Life Skill items and then there is the category for Martial Arts Skills
For the weapon categories, there is a lot of types of weapons that is being sold inside the store. Each of the items sold in the item store could only be bought with the money he has
He checks the Weapon first. That is his first though. He needs to arm himself first. When he tapped on the weapon window, it drops down menu appears.
‘Whoa, there is a lot of categories for weapon’ Li Xian inwardly thought to himself
Weapons
1) Blade (single edged curved blade)
2) Sword (dual edged straight blade)
3) Daggers
4) Staff
5) Throwing Knives
6) Bow
7) Spear
8) Shield
9) Axe
10) Great axe
11) Halberd
12) Rope
He then checks the ranks of weapon
The explanation pop up appears in front of his eyes.
[Rank of normal weapon: Rusty, Normal, Sharp]
[Ranking for Special Weapon is Divine]
Special weapon. He then checks at the blade categories and his eyes is being bombarded with the vision of all kinds of blade.
Then one blade caught his eyes among those many blade
‘The system even has this kind of weapon.’ Li Xian exclaimed.
The weapon name is slightly different than what he knows but he is sure that this is exactly like that weapon in that wuxia story.
There is a blade that is shining gold in the blade section. There is dragon carving on the blade
The name of the blade is the Dragon Slaying Blade. And then he looks at the price.
‘Damn’ is the first word that comes in his mind.
It is around 999999 Ding. It is impossible for him to get that much money even if he works hard in this world.
The system should not push him to the path of merchant right.
He then asks the system, hoping that it would answer
‘Why is it so expensive?’ The system did not reply to him. Not a talking system. That is good. Li Xian thought to himself.
‘So, you want me to find it out for myself, huh?’ Li Xian check a little bit more around the interface window of the blade section and then he notices a question mark at the end of the price number.
He tapped it and explanation pop up window appears
[The Price will be adjusted according to the host power level and other factors. The path to the peak of martial path will not be achieved by taking shortcuts. Forge your own path!]
Li Xian snorted.
Forge your own path, forge your own path! Does this system have no other type of script other than forging your own path?
It spouted the same line all the time.
Li Xian calms himself down.
Thinking about it the system is called the Martial Arts System.
Of course the system would try to push him to the martial path. For a second there, he thought that the martial art system would push him to the path of merchants.
He checks the sword categories and there is also a special sword. If there is the Dragon Slaying Blade, there must also be the Heaven Will Sword.
There is also Goujian Sword and Absolute Iron Sword. Each of these special sword all ranged on the 999999 price range.
He thought if he could get his hand on either the Dragon Slaying Blade of the Heaven Will Sword, the wolf that is about to come would cut into two by him easily.
He checks the other categories. Each of the categories have their own special weapons.
For the Daggers they have the Golden Dagger and Soaring Flying Daggers. And in a spear, Li Xian once again was shocked
The Overlord Spear. When he reads the description of the Spear it said that the spear belongs to the Xi Chu Ba Wang (Overlord of Western Chu) Xiang Yu
There is also the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. That belongs to Guan Yu. He did not check the other too much because it is not like he had to learn to use all of the weapons. being too much of a jack of a trade is not necessarily good.
‘Fine, I would buy a few daggers and a sword.’ He checks the dagger area and bought three sharp dagger which cost him 15 Liang.
He then bought a sword which is also sharp. The sword is 10 liang.
Most of the time he would store some money. But when the choice is between your life and money, you would not take chances on your life.
He also needs to buy martial arts skill later so he could not buy to many weapons. After all, if he did not have any martial arts skill, what use all of these weapon for him
He still did not use his martial skill points and his lightness skill points. He did not forget to buy a few lightness skills later.
That would help him dodge enemy attack and even increase his ability to attack and remain unharmed.
He checks the armor category
[There is heavy armor and light armor which is then separated into many categories with each categories having heavy and light armor]
[Special armor has the designation special. Will not be unlocked until reaching a certain level]
Headgear
1) Heavy headgear
2) Light headgear
Cuirass
1) Heavy Cuirasses
2) Light Cuirasses
Boots
1) Heavy armor Boots
2) Light armor boots
Gauntlets
1) Heavy gauntlets
2) Light gauntlets
He looks at the price and all of it is beyond him.
Is this you trying to tell me to forge my path? He snorted at the system. He ignores the armor store and look at the other store in the system store.
He bought food from the groceries, a few buns and a few a chewing sticks. It cost him one liang. He passes by the Life Skill Items since he already almost used up all the Life Skill points.
He is very concentrated right now.
because the thunder is slowly getting quieter and the rain is slowly abating.
He knows that the wolf would come not long after. Maybe the script would change this time and the wolf would not come. But if the script did not change, he would like to prepare himself
He quickly looks at the martial arts skill
‘I’m going to spend a lot of money here’ He first checks the lightness technique skill first. He bought Swift Strides.
It cost him six hundred liang but the moment he touches the manual for Swift Strides, all kinds of movement enter his mind and the he mastered it almost immediately.
Any martial arts master would pay anything to have such experience of mastering a movement just by tapping a book
He read the description of the Swift Strides
Swift Strides
[A basic lightness technique, flowing with the wind. Learning this skill will enable the host to jump high enough as to be a rabbit]
Li Xian try to move. The moment he moves he could feel the difference in speed. He then jumps and his jump is a few meters high than he thought possible for his age.
‘Good. This would help in fighting those wolf.’
He then checks the other lightness technique and he shake his head. The Striding on Water lightness technique would cost him 2 Ding and 50 liang.
If he bought it, he would have no money to buy any internal energy technique and martial arts technique.
He recognizes that the first purchase is cheaper. It is just like before. The moment he bought it, the other things also raises their prices.
He then looks at his lightness skill points.
‘Since I could not buy the other two lightness skill I would use all my lightness skill point on this technique.’
He first ranks up his lightness skill to beginner level using ten points. Then he uses another fifty points to rank up to Apprentice level.
He is ranking it up consecutively.
Each time he ranks up his lightness skills, all kinds of movement appears in his mind. It all shows how to use the technique in practical way and the kind of way of how to use it.
It was like he is training years when he is just sitting there for only a few seconds.
He then used one thousand points to rank up to expert. This time, another showing of movement appears in his mind.
Li Xian is confident that if he uses this lightness technique now, he would jump agilely and could dodge attack easily.
He then ranks up his lightness technique to master rank by pouring in five thousand lightness skill points.
For a moment, Li Xian body emitted the aura of a master of martial arts.
Right now, it was like he had learned the Swift Strides for decades, mastering the way how to use it in battles and implemented it in any situations
He did not continue ranking up to the last rank which is the Grandmaster rank. the reason is simply because he didn’t have enough skill points.
To rank up to the Grandmaster level, he would need fifteen thousand lightness skill points. He is now only left with 3940 Lightness skill points.
‘Alright. Now I could check the other martial skill. The moment he said that the howling of wolves could be heard.
‘Damn. They are already here?’ up there in the sky, the thunder is no longer roaring. And the rain has stopped.
And red eyes could be seen in the darkness from the bushes
Li Xian after opening his meridian is very sensitive to any movement around him. His ear could hear more clearly and his nose could smell things that he could not smell before.
His eyes narrowed and then he could see it. There is a wolf looking at him.
He could sense that there is a lot of wolf around the forest, looking at the hut.
He got up slowly
‘Should I stay in the hut fighting them in enclosed space?’ Smiling he answer his own question.
‘Of course, that is what I should do. Why would I go their playground and weaken myself?’ Li Xian knows that the reason why he had always died when facing the wolf before is because he always fights in the wolf home ground.
It causes him to die many times.
But, now he is inside a hut. The hut is not that sturdy but at least he could defend and attack more effectively rather than running around in the forest which is the wolf playground.
He is four feet tall. The sword that he had bought is not that long. But it is sharp. The sword is already at his hip after he bought it from the system store.
The last drop of rain had fallen and Li Xian unsheathe his sword, the sound of the sword ringing echoes around the hut
Then Li Xian smiling, point his gleaming sharp sword to the wolf pack in the dark.
Then a window quest pop up and his smile grew wider
‘This is my first quest’ he said

Calculation
Full money
3 Ding
1 Ding = 1000 liang – 15 liang =985
2 Ding 985 Liang - 10 liang = 975
2 Ding 975 liang – 1 liang
2 Ding 974 Liang – 600 liang = 2 Ding 374

Lightness Skill points
10,000- 10=9990-50= 9940
9940- 1000= 8940
8940- 5000= 3940
