71: The new lord's artifact and the clash with GSD

Gedori panicked after Jian Wuxie closed the distance, immediately reaching out to release an Explosive Stone Pillar again.

However, Jian Wuxie's frequent attacks interrupted all of his skills, leaving him only able to watch the Greatsword hack at his body, sword strike after sword strike.

With a 'bang,' Gedori released the Shockwave unique to Lords, knocking Jian Wuxie back. He immediately reached out, intending to repeat the trick and control Jian Wuxie to keep him away.

Unexpectedly, the moment Jian Wuxie hit the ground, a flash of light appeared on his body, and a Shockwave also knocked Gedori onto the ground.

"Heh heh, didn't expect that, did you? I have an item!" Jian Wuxie sneered, closing in again to slash.

Just like that, the dignified King of Puppets was actually chopped to death by Jian Wuxie, sword strike by sword strike.

As Gedori vanished into white light, a trace of pink light shone forth.

"Holy crap, another Divine Artifact dropped!" Quan Wudi shouted, his eyes sharp.

Jian Wuxie was not in a hurry to pick it up. Instead, he turned his head to look at the three people and said calmly, "I don't want anyone else to know about what happened today."

Quan Wudi instantly recalled Jian Wuxie's corpse with white smoke rising from his butt earlier and couldn't help but want to laugh.

But upon seeing Jian Wuxie's seemingly calm expression, which nevertheless hid a threat in his eyes, he immediately forced the laughter back down and nodded with a serious expression.

A Fei saw Jian Wuxie look his way and quickly said solemnly, "Don't worry, I don't know anything, and I didn't see anything."

Xiao Hongyuan watched Jian Wuxie look at her, shook her head, walked forward, and patted Jian Wuxie on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, Junior Brother, Senior Sister is not that kind of person."

Only then did Jian Wuxie feel slightly relieved. He turned around and picked up the equipment on the ground.

After seeing the attributes, a look of ecstasy finally appeared on his face, and he then shared the attributes.

"Haha, it's Heavy Armor! G.S.D said I'll use Heavy Armor after I Class Advancement to Berserker. This piece of equipment belongs to me, right?" Jian Wuxie said proudly.

"Um..." Quan Wudi raised his hand and said, "Actually, I also wear Heavy Armor after Class Advancement."

"Oh? Speaking of which, Brother Quan, we still don't know what class your Fighter will Class Advancement into?" Xiao Hongyuan asked curiously.

"Cough, cough, after my Class Advancement, I'll be called... Forget it, you'll know when the time comes." Quan Wudi actually blushed slightly and didn't say.

"So how should we distribute it, Brother Quan?" Jian Wuxie asked.

Quan Wudi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "Forget it, this piece is yours. Give me the next Heavy Armor drop. Consider it compensation for you being hit by the stone pillar today..."

Quan Wudi stopped mid-sentence. Seeing Jian Wuxie staring intently at him after hearing the words 'stone pillar,' he quickly swallowed the rest of his words.

"It's decided then! This one is yours!" Quan Wudi waved his hand.

"Heh heh, thank you, Brother Quan." Jian Wuxie finally beamed again.

The four exited the Dungeon Instance and found G.S.D again, asking what the final Class Advancement quest was.

G.S.D first kicked Quan Wudi, who was offering greetings, aside and said, "Go back and find Pung Jin!"

Only then did he speak to the three of them: "Not bad, your strength has grown quickly. As for the last quest, go to the Training Area at the Moonlight Tavern. I'll fight you all."

"Ah?" Quan Wudi, who hadn't left yet, shouted exaggeratedly, "Senior, isn't that a joke? Everyone has witnessed your strength. Fighting you is practically seeking death!"

Jian Wuxie and the other two also looked at G.S.D with extremely solemn expressions.

Unexpectedly, G.S.D laughed and said, "What the hell do you know? This is our tradition. Before a newcomer undergoes Class Advancement, the instructor must test the newcomer's strength. Pung Jin's quest for you will probably also be a practice match with him, not a real fight."

Hearing G.S.D say this, everyone finally relaxed.

Quan Wudi happily went off to find Pung Jin.

G.S.D, however, stood up and said, "Let's go, we're heading to the Moonlight Tavern."

The three followed him all the way to a very clean, small tavern. Next to the counter stood a beautiful woman wearing a tight red dress, her perfect figure fully visible.

Seeing someone enter, she immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, I am Sosia, the owner of this tavern. Adventurers, would you like to try the wine I personally brewed?"

G.S.D, walking behind, laughed and said, "No rush for drinking, Sosia. Open the Training Area. I want to play around with these little fellows."

"Oh, it's Great Master G.S.D! It's rare for you to visit. These three must be your excellent disciples, truly remarkable. Please wait a moment." Sosia finished speaking, took a key from behind the counter, and handed it to G.S.D.

"Hehe, this Training Area is separate. It's not the place those drunkards use for fighting. It's very quiet. Please go ahead," Sosia said.

G.S.D nodded in satisfaction and walked toward the back of the tavern.

Just then, Jian Wuxie heard a rough voice coming from a nearby table saying, "Delicious! Give me another cup!"

He turned his head and saw a Cleric player. But he wondered if it was his imagination—why did that Cleric look shorter than other Clerics?

"Hehe, honored guest, may I ask if you still have gold coins?" Sosia asked the Cleric.

"Can't I put it on credit first? I, Iron Hammer, always drink on credit when I'm out of money," the Cleric said shamelessly.

"Hehe, if you don't have gold coins, that won't do," Sosia said with a smile.

Jian Wuxie wanted to look longer, but he heard G.S.D's urging voice: "Kid, stop standing there. Hurry up and come over. We'll save some trouble today. The three of you come at me together."

Jian Wuxie felt helpless and could only quickly follow G.S.D into the Training Area behind the tavern.

Inside the Training Area, the three cautiously watched G.S.D in front of them, knowing full well the strength of this blind old man.

"Hehe, don't be nervous. From now on, I will only defend and not attack. The three of you just use your strongest methods to attack me," G.S.D said reassuringly.

Hearing him say this, the three felt somewhat relieved. They immediately set up their formation and began attacking G.S.D.

Jian Wuxie was the first to strike, leaping up with a Mountain Collapse Strike, which smashed directly onto G.S.D's defensive Short Sword, making a crisp sound.

The moment he landed, Jian Wuxie immediately unleashed a Cross Slash, and the Sword Qi struck G.S.D's body directly.

"Not bad," G.S.D commented with a smile.

Just then, Xiao Hongyuan on the side also made her move. An elegant Three-Stage Slash swept past, and then she jumped up behind G.S.D, hacking toward the back of his head.

G.S.D quickly turned and blocked the sword, but Xiao Hongyuan suddenly dropped, stabbing down directly with a Silver Light Falling Blade.

"Not bad, very skilled in applying your weapon," G.S.D still commented lightly.

A Fei reached out and summoned Kazans Blade Soul, enveloping the three of them, and coupled with Xiao Hongyuan's Moonlight Slash, they struck G.S.D, who was dealing with Xiao Hongyuan's attack.

With a "bang," the three only felt a gentle pushing force emanating from G.S.D, pushing them away.

"Hehe, very good. Each of you has your own characteristics, and you even cooperate tacitly. You have passed!" G.S.D announced with a smile.

He then took out three bracelets of different colors from his pocket and handed them to the trio, saying, "These are the items to activate your respective classes. Put them on your wrists, and your Class Advancement will be complete."

At the entrance to Gran Forest, Sia asked impatiently, "Damn it, where did that guy Iron Hammer run off to? How long are we going to wait for him?"

Meilin laughed, "You still don't know him. He must have run off somewhere to drink. Let's go look for him at the nearby places that sell alcohol."
