Universal Ascension: Starting with SSS-Level Talent

Chapter 20: Boss Rewards

Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng attacked from both sides.

The two of them stood back-to-back, with no room to retreat. With a do-or-die determination, their sword intent and killing aura reached a new level.

Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng attacked repeatedly, but not only did they fail, they also got injured in the process.

Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao turned the tide, continuing to combine their sword techniques.

Sometimes they held hands to leverage each other’s strength. Sometimes they pushed each other to provide support.

You attack high, I attack low. You attack left, I attack right.

Their combined sword techniques were unstoppable, and they overwhelmed Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, leaving them unable to defend.

Then they integrated their sword techniques further.

Martial arts techniques were inherently a continuous and orderly sequence of moves that surpass the speed of thought.

When executing these techniques, there was no need for detailed thinking. The speed of their techniques exceeded their own inherent speed of 120.

Even Nie Feng, with his speed of 140, couldn’t defend against it.

Helpless, he forcefully used his ultimate move, 【Violent Storm】.

Li Chengfeng was secretly pleased.

Finally, he couldn’t hold back!

He grabbed Shu Fuyao’s hand and pushed her forward.

He then gathered his energy, waiting for the right moment. Pulling her back, he used the momentum to propel himself forward.

What seemed like an ordinary sword strike, suddenly unleashed tremendous power at the last moment.

“Not good!”

Nie Feng was greatly shocked.

His leg collided with the sword.

The leg of the God of Wind flew into the air.

The leg of the Divine Wind Leg.

It was severed.

Defeated!

However, Li Chengfeng’s thousand-yuan sword couldn’t withstand Nie Feng’s excellent armor.

It bent to a hundred and thirty degrees, and s large chunk of the blade broke off.

With Nie Feng defeated, how could Bu Jingyun stand against the two of them?

Li Chengfeng unleashed palm energy to provide firepower.

Shu Fuyao pierced through Bu Jingyun’s glove with her sword, penetrating his palm. She then swung out a green sword energy, knocking him down.

Shu Fuyao’s sword was pointed at Bu Jingyun’s throat.

“Wait!”

Nie Feng called out to her:

“Please show mercy, brave warriors. Senior Brother Yun and I were forced by Xiong Ba to serve the World Society. Xiong Ba is our common enemy. If you are willing to spare us, we are willing to help you eliminate Xiong Ba.”

Li Chengfeng asked:

“How will you assist us?”

“We have a treasure to offer.”

After saying this, Nie Feng took out a treasure box.

Li Chengfeng nodded to Shu Fuyao, signaling her to show mercy.

The ultimate goal of bravely venturing into Area One of the World Society was to defeat Feng and Yun. It wasn’t to kill them.

The dungeon introduction stated that defeating Feng and Yun would earn the challenge rewards. If they insisted on killing Feng and Yun…

Feng and Yun would inevitably go berserk. With their increased strength, even two Xiong Bas wouldn’t be their match.

Of course, killing the berserk Feng and Yun would yield higher rewards.

However, with Li Chengfeng’s current strength, having only sword techniques and no ultimate skills, he didn’t dare to recklessly challenge the berserk Feng and Yun.

Moreover, his weapon was now broken.

Bu Jingyun also took out a treasure box and handed it to Shu Fuyao.

“Alright, we’ll spare your lives.”

As Li Chengfeng finished speaking, a golden light emanated from Nie Feng and entered his body.

Li Chengfeng suddenly felt a deeper understanding of swordsmanship and internal energy.

【Ding! The proficiency of “Golden Youth and Jade Maiden Twelve Swords” Basic Chapter has increased to Level 4.】

【Completed the follow-up task for the sword technique.】

【Obtained the prelude to the ultimate skill of “Golden Youth and Jade Maiden Twelve Swords”.】

Li Chengfeng was instantly delighted.

He had unexpectedly gained a 16% increase in martial skill proficiency so quickly. Although the martial skill enhancement only provided a 100% boost.

However, the understanding of martial skills in actual combat was evidently faster.

Li Chengfeng smiled as he accepted the treasure box presented by Nie Feng.

He opened it and a golden light entered his body.

【Money +17,400 yuan.】

Additionally, there were two cards in the treasure box. Li Chengfeng took them out and looked at them.

The first card had an image of a pair of boots.

Accompanied by text:

[Common – Nie Feng’s Boots] in large white characters.

– Slot: Foot Armor

– Requirement: Level 10

– Description: The boots of the Wind God Nie Feng. Wearing them makes you run as fast as Nie Feng.

– Physical Defense: +15

– Strength: +6

– Speed: +12

– Spirit: +6

– Energy Consumption: 30 Qi per minute

Li Chengfeng understood.

This was an equipment card.

With this card, you can exchange for a pair of common-quality battle boots in the system. Moreover, these boots have outstanding speed attributes.

Wearing them will make you lighter and swifter.

Li Chengfeng then looked at the other card. It was also a pair of Nie Feng’s boots, but the quality of this pair was different.

The card emitted a faint green glow.

[Fine – Nie Feng’s Boots] in large green characters.

– Slot: Foot Armor

– Requirement: Level 10

– Description: The boots of the Wind God Nie Feng. Wearing them makes you run as fast as the wind.

– Physical Defense: +30

– Strength: +12

– Speed: +24

– Spirit: +12

– Energy Consumption: 60 Qi per minute

Li Chengfeng was delighted.

The attributes of the fine-quality equipment were twice as high as those of the common quality.

Normally, in a dungeon of common difficulty, only the final boss might give fine-quality equipment rewards.

Unexpectedly, with his 300% drop rate boost, he received a fine-quality reward even from a non-final boss.

Not bad. It was very good.

Li Chengfeng walked towards Shu Fuyao, satisfied.

He wanted to see how her luck was.

“So, what did you get?”

“Five thousand yuan! The boss is really valuable.”

Shu Fuyao beamed with joy.

She was still worried about the rent and five thousand yuan was almost half a year’s rent.

Additionally, she took out an orange-red round gemstone from the treasure box. It was about the size of a ping-pong ball, emitting a faint red glow.

Inside the gemstone, a blue light swirled around the number “1”.

“What is this?”

Li Chengfeng asked, as he didn’t know everything.

Shu Fuyao also shook her head.

Li Chengfeng took out his phone to search online.

However, there was no signal in the dungeon.

So he asked in the Modu University group:

Li Chengfeng: Help me look up what an orange-red gemstone with a blue light swirling around the number “1” is.

**: @Li Chengfeng, Great Master, the internet says it’s called a Speed Crystal Stone, and the “1” indicates a 1-star Speed Crystal Stone.

**: Yes, it’s used for embedding in weapons to increase the flight speed of Qi attacks.

***: Boss drops in dungeons. Have you guys started running dungeons already?

**: Great Master, have you already killed the Boss?

Li Chengfeng: Yes, thank you.

***: Amazing, you’ve already killed the Boss so quickly.

**: First kill in the entire school!

**: I heard that a 1-star Speed Crystal Stone is worth several thousand yuan. You guys hit the jackpot!

**: Just checked, it’s selling for around 8,200 yuan in the marketplace.

Shu Fuyao: (Picture).

Level 10 unlocks chat, photo, and video recording functions.

Shu Fuyao blinked and took a photo.

She sent an ultra-high-definition picture of the gemstone, with eye-level resolution, to the group.

**: Wow, what a beautiful gemstone.

***: It would make a great decorative piece too.

**: So envious.

**: Goddess Shu is mighty, both of you are amazing!!

***: Am I the only one who noticed that the hand looks better than the gemstone?

**: Be careful, Great Master Chengfeng might come after you!
