8: Fighter

"So much?" Jian Wuxie asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I just killed a Goblin and it dropped a long saber. I couldn't use it, so I sold it to Linus the blacksmith and earned over 300 gold coins," Brother Quan said with a smile.

"Okay, give it to me first. I'll give you Spirit Stones when we get out," Jian Wuxie said.

"En, I trust the son of the Divine Sword Sect Master, take it!" Brother Quan said cheerfully.

At this moment, another Ghost Swordsman walked over. Jian Wuxie glanced at his name, which was A Fei Works Very Hard Today.

The Ghost Swordsman took out a cloth bag and said, "I have 2000 gold coins, can I exchange them for Spirit Stones?"

Jian Wuxie looked at this person in surprise and quickly said, "Yes, I want them all! Give them to me, and find me to collect your Spirit Stones when we go out."

The Ghost Swordsman smiled shyly and said, "My master told me about you. I'll wait for you at the Secret Realm entrance tonight. My name is A Fei."

After A Fei finished speaking, he handed the gold coins to Jian Wuxie and left directly.

Jian Wuxie looked at A Fei's retreating figure and said, "Brother Quan, why do you think he has so many gold coins?"

Brother Quan scratched his head and said, "Maybe he got lucky and found a lot of equipment to sell."

Jian Wuxie didn't dwell on the question and said, "Brother Quan, wait for me here for a moment. I'll be right back. When I return, I'll call my Senior Sister, and we'll team up to fight."

After speaking, Jian Wuxie stealthily walked away.

Seeing no one around, Jian Wuxie quickly approached Earth Jar and said, "Give me two more jars, for Ghost Swordsman weapons!" He then handed over 2000 gold coins.

Earth Jar's high-pitched voice rang out again: "May you strike it rich!" He then handed over two jars.

Jian Wuxie picked up a jar with an expectant look and shook it frantically.

With a 'clatter,' an impressively styled longsword fell out. Jian Wuxie quickly picked it up to examine it.

【New Style Heavy Sword】

Advanced Weapon, Greatsword

Physical Attack +75

Magic Attack +45

Strength +4

Hit Rate -1%

Jian Wuxie swung it a few times in his hand and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, it feels very smooth."

Earth Jar chuckled, "Haha, definitely not empty!"

Jian Wuxie looked at the other jar beside him, thinking, "I'll open one for Senior Sister too."

Jian Wuxie picked up the jar and shook it frantically. With a 'clatter,' a gray-white wooden stick fell out.

Jian Wuxie felt a bad premonition seeing this familiar scene and quickly picked it up to look.

The five large characters "【Worn Wooden Stick】" appeared before Jian Wuxie's eyes.

Earth Jar's voice came again: "Hehe, it's understandable to get an empty one occasionally!"

Jian Wuxie threw the wooden stick aside and cursed, "Scammer!"

Then, he reluctantly went back to find Xiao Hongyuan and Quan Wudi.

After finding Xiao Hongyuan, Jian Wuxie led her to Quan Wudi and asked, "Brother Quan, how far along are you with your quest?"

"Hmm... that blacksmith told me to go to the depths of Loran Forest one more time and kill all the Goblins," Brother Quan replied.

"En, Junior Brother and I both have the same quest, so let's team up and complete it together," Xiao Hongyuan said with a smile.

The three teamed up and arrived at the forest entrance, where they ran into A Fei, who had just returned from the forest.

Jian Wuxie recognized him at a glance and friendly invited, "Friend, we're about to team up to go into the depths of Loran. Care to join us?"

A Fei timidly refused, "No, thank you. I just came out of there and now I need to turn in my quest."

Jian Wuxie expressed his regret but didn't dwell on it, directly entering the Dungeon Instance.

Inside the Dungeon Instance, Xiao Hongyuan curiously asked, "You know that person?"

Jian Wuxie smiled, "Hehe, his name is A Fei, and he sold me 2000 gold coins."

At this moment, Brother Quan interjected, "I know him. He's the son of the Mo Qian Sect Master, and he's only fourteen years old."

"Mo Qian Sect?" Xiao Hongyuan exclaimed in surprise, "The Mo Qian Sect was almost wiped out in the battle between good and evil three years ago. I didn't expect anyone to come participate in the Trial Assembly."

Brother Quan nodded, "It's truly a pity. In that battle, almost all of the Mo Qian Sect's Advanced combatants were annihilated, and many low-ranking Disciples were implanted with Demon Seeds. I'm afraid they won't last much longer."

Xiao Hongyuan sighed, "To have to go out and train at only fourteen, how pitiful."

Jian Wuxie also nodded and said, "Alright, Brother Quan, show us what you've got. Let me see the Fighter's combat style."

Brother Quan clashed his fists together and said, "Then watch closely!"

Quan Wudi picked a target, charged forward, and delivered an elbow strike, sending the Goblin back a few steps, then followed up with an Uppercut.

The Goblin was directly struck into mid-air.

Quan Wudi, before the opponent could fall, quickly landed several punches on it. Before the Goblin could hit the ground, he delivered another upward kick, sending it back into mid-air.

He quickly landed a few more punches in the air, then, as the opponent was about to land, a powerful, heavy whip kick swept across the Goblin's body.

The Goblin let out a cry of agony, then turned into a white light and dissipated.

Jian Wuxie laughed, "Amazing, Brother Quan! You took him down without even giving him a chance to fight back."

Quan Wudi burst into laughter, "It's not as amazing as you say."

The three swept through the Goblins they encountered along the way, leaving none alive. Jian Wuxie, especially, with his new heavy sword, fought with broad, sweeping attacks, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Before long, the three arrived near the boss. Seeing that the boss was still a Throwing Goblin, Jian Wuxie laughed, "Haha, an old opponent! Let's go at him together."

Quan Wudi charged forward with an elbow strike, sending the Throwing Goblin staggering backward.

The Throwing Goblin, seeing someone attack it, quickly pulled out a stone and was about to throw it.

Quan Wudi stood his ground and let out a loud roar. Several ghostly white figures appeared around him, surrounding him.

The Throwing Goblin seemed unable to differentiate, and a stone smashed into one of the figures.

The struck figure dissipated with a 'poof.'

Jian Wuxie directly closed in, lifted his heavy sword, and launched the Throwing Goblin into mid-air. The three then quickly attacked.

Just as the Throwing Goblin was about to land, Xiao Hongyuan delivered another Uppercut, sending him flying up again.

In this way, the three cooperated with great synergy. Whenever the Throwing Goblin was about to land, one of them would use a skill to launch him back up.

Under the trio's relentless assault, the Throwing Goblin never touched the ground once before its death.

As Jian Wuxie's Ghost Slash landed, the Throwing Goblin shrieked, dissolved into white light, and left behind two bags of gold coins.

Blue light flashed around the three, and they all leveled up simultaneously.

After Jian Wuxie picked up the gold coins and divided them equally between the other two, he asked Quan Wudi, "Brother Quan, is that human Clone of yours also a skill?"

Quan Wudi nodded, "That's right. It's a false Clone condensed from a Fighter's Psychic Power, capable of confusing monsters."

Xiao Hongyuan laughed, "It seems that just like a Ghost Swordsman's Ghost Slash, which manipulates the Power of Ghost Gods, a Fighter also has their own inherent power."
