Chapter 71: Flying Thunder God Technique!

As Gandalf delivered the mountain-like blueprints and Materials one by one into the top-tier forging room where Ou Yezi was located,

Ou Yezi also began his day-and-night forging project.

What was to be forged this time was a complete set of epic-grade equipment.

[Star-Moon Set]!

Even for him, an SS-grade Divine Craftsman, the difficulty was far from small.

Fortunately, the Materials brought by Gandalf were piled up like a mountain.

It was enough for him to fail a dozen or so times.

Zhou Huai withdrew his consciousness from Ou Yezi and, after giving him the instruction of "Forge with all your might", paid no more excessive attention to it.

He believed that the smart core ai could definitely complete the task perfectly.

After finishing all this, Zhou Huai arranged for Gandalf to stay in one of the apartments that Uncle Fu had rented out long ago.

This was one of the several safe houses Uncle Fu had rented in advance.

Pushing open the door, the loyal old butler had been waiting for a long time.

"Young master."

Uncle Fu respectfully bowed in salute.

"Everything has been settled."

"According to your instructions, the identity of 'Gandalf' has been secretly registered through special channels as a fresh examinee of Donghai City No. 1 High School."

"This is his admission ticket."

Uncle Fu handed over a finely crafted crystal card.

Zhou Huai controlled Gandalf to take it and glanced at it.

"No one on the school's side knows?"

Uncle Fu shook his head, a hint of confidence on his face.

"The old servant found an old friend in the Ministry of Education and added the name directly from inside the System."

"The principal of Donghai No. 1 High School doesn't even know that there is an extra examinee out of thin air in his school."

Zhou Huai nodded with satisfaction.

He had always been at ease with Uncle Fu handling matters.

Everything was ready, except for the east wind.

Next, he just needed to wait for Ou Yezi to finish forging that epic-grade [Star-Moon Set].

Gandalf could then step into the examination room with the strongest posture!

…

At the same time, the largest underground trading center in Donghai City.

After being resurrected, Yasuo changed into an inconspicuous black windbreaker, pulled his hood down very low, and walked through the noisy and bustling crowd.

The air was mixed with the quirky smell of various potions and the clanging sound of metal collisions.

"Come and take a look! Freshly baked level-20 fine-grade battleaxe! Comes with armor-piercing effect!"

"Purchasing Advanced Demonic Beast crystal cores, large quantities with preferential prices!"

Controlling Yasuo to turn a deaf ear to the surrounding peddling sounds, Zhou Huai went straight to a stall selling skill scrolls.

The stall owner was a lean middle-aged man with a pair of darting small eyes that exuded shrewdness.

"Brother, what would you like to see?"

"The universal skill scrolls I have here are the most complete in the entire trading center, and the prices are the fairest!"

The classes awakened by Professionals were diverse, and the exclusive skills of most classes needed to be comprehended by upgrading or completing specific tasks.

But there were also some widely circulated basic skills that could be learned through skill scrolls.

These skills were called "universal skills".

For example, the archer class could learn [Hawk Eye] to enhance vision, and learn [Quickness] to increase shooting speed.

The mage class could learn [Meditation] to accelerate mana recovery, and learn [Elemental Affinity] to enhance skill power.

As for the universal skills of swordsmen, there were [Basic Swordsmanship], [Parry], and so on.

Yasuo raised his head, his voice under the hood hoarse and low.

"Sword Qi, Throwing."

"Give me one of each."

The stall owner's eyes lit up, and he nimbly pulled out two scrolls from a pile of scrolls.

"Alright!"

"Sword Qi is five thousand, Throwing is three thousand, a total of eight thousand Daxia Coins!"

Yasuo did not bargain and paid the money directly.

The two quaint scrolls turned into two streams of light in his hands, instantly sinking into his body.

A burst of enlightenment surged into his heart.

He had already mastered these two skills.

The previous battle had exposed Yasuo's biggest shortcoming—a lack of effective long-range attack means.

Having learned [Sword Qi], he could slash out Sword Qi for long-range strikes to make up for this flaw.

Although the distance of the Sword Qi was still very short, it was better than nothing.

Compared to Sword Qi, that throwing skill was actually valued even more by Zhou Huai.

[Throwing]

As the name implied, it was to forcefully throw the item in hand towards the target.

It looked like an unremarkable and even somewhat tasteless skill.

But in Zhou Huai's mind, a crazy and bold idea had already taken shape.

If…

If he could attach the [Thunder Blink Seal] to the thrown dart.

And at the moment when the dart was about to hit the target, activate the seal to complete the teleportation.

What kind of unexpected fighting style would that be?

Isn't this…

The signature stunt of a certain yellow flash from his previous life—the Flying Thunder God Technique?!

Thinking of that elusive peerless figure shuttling across the battlefield in the spark of lightning.

Zhou Huai's heart couldn't help but heat up.

Going to the weapon shop again, he spent a few hundred bucks to buy a large bag of the most ordinary black iron darts.

After doing all this, he controlled Yasuo to come to an uninhabited wasteland outside the city, preparing to start testing.

A trace of imperceptible electric light flashed and disappeared at the contact point between his fingertips and the dart.

[Seal of Thunder], attachment successful.

He flicked his wrist.

Whoosh——!

The dart turned into a cold flash, carrying a piercing sound, and shot towards the trunk of a dead tree a hundred meters away.

Zhou Huai's consciousness was highly concentrated, tightly locking onto the rapidly spinning dart.

Right now!

Swish!

Yasuo's figure disappeared on the spot, turning into a tortuous electric light.

The next instant, he had appeared in front of the dead tree, his palm accurately pressing on the dart that was about to be nailed into the tree trunk.

The momentum of the dart was instantly resolved, lying quietly in his palm.

And the position where he appeared matched the trajectory of the dart's flight without the slightest deviation.

Zhou Huai's breathing suddenly stagnated.

It worked!

It really works!

I am truly a fucking Genius!

Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, he took out five more darts again.

Electric light flickered, and five [Seals of Thunder] were attached simultaneously.

He fiercely threw the five darts in five different directions!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Five cold flashes pierced through the air and left.

The next second, Yasuo's figure completely turned into a flickering phantom.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He shuttled back and forth between the five darts, every blink appearing in an unimaginable position.

One second he was still on the boulder on the left, and the next second he appeared among the cliffs on the right.

His figure was flickering and swift as lightning.

Playing with great interest, Zhou Huai tried to throw new darts again the moment the teleportation was completed, performing a second or even third consecutive teleportation.

Inside the valley, electric light was dazzling.

Yasuo's figure was completely impossible to capture with the naked eye, leaving only fleeting afterimages of thunder light.

Too cool.

This was simply cool beyond limits.

The only flaw was that the consumption of mana points was somewhat alarming.

Every teleportation would consume one hundred mana points.

With Yasuo's current mana upper limit of nearly three thousand, it could at most support him in continuous teleportation for less than thirty times.

However, this was also enough.

As for darts… that thing was completely worthless.

Zhou Huai simply ran back to the trading center, directly wholesaled tens of thousands of darts, and stuffed them into Yasuo's Storage Ring.

After doing all this, Zhou Huai contentedly let Yasuo take the newly created "alt" Xiang Yu out of the city to level up.

He must quickly raise Xiang Yu's Rank and skills.

Only in this way could his own fragile main body obtain the most reliable guarantee.

…

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, two days quietly passed.

Donghai City, Forging Guild.

In that top-floor forging room listed as a Forbidden Land.

Clang——!

An unprecedentedly clear and lingering hammer sound echoed in the room.

Ou Yezi slowly put down the Divine Craftsman's hammer in his hand and let out a long breath of turbid air.

In front of him, five pieces of equipment floated quietly.

Mage robe, handguards, battle boots, leg guards, mage crown.

Each piece flowed with a dreamy Star-Moon brilliance, engraved with profound runes, and exuding a heart-palpitating epic-grade coercion.

[Ding! epic-grade set [Star-Moon Set] successfully forged!]

At the same time, Zhou Huai's main body suddenly sat up from the bed.

A trace of a smile appeared on his face.

Outside the window, the morning light was dim.

The sleeping hustle and bustle of the city was slowly Awakening.

The annual, highly anticipated National Professionals High School Entrance Examination.

Officially kicked off.
