He sat cross-legged on the bed and leaned against the bulkhead.

Yan Jing looked at the information in front of him and took a sip of his drink.

He had previously successfully killed the Ghost Faced Fish at the bottom of the sea, relying on the tiger dragon transformation brought about by the bronze statue.

Although the effect has faded now, the explosive power is still fresh in his memory.

'The Ember Apostle should be talking about me, or the name for people like me. What does this torch mean...'

After confirming his ability, Yan Jing couldn't help but start to think about the source of tonight's sudden change.

Of course, this is destined to be a fruitless question.

Fortunately, the storms he has experienced in these years allowed Yan Jing to quickly adjust his mentality.

Since everything that happened tonight was not a dream, Yan Jing was almost certain that similar dangerous situations would happen in the future.

Instead of racking your brains to think about why, it is better to focus more on what to do next.

With this thought in mind, Yan Jing returned his gaze to the mission briefing on the Ghost Faced Fish Incident. He raised his hand and placed it horizontally in front of him, silently thinking about the Boaring Spirit Mask in his mind.

After a short delay, light patterns flashed above the palm of his hand, and a strange-looking mask appeared in Yan Jing's hand.

The shape of the mask is similar to a combination of human and animal. The surface is covered with mysterious painted patterns, the eyes are hollow, there are interlaced fangs on both sides of the mouth, and there are horns on the edge that look like curling clouds.

Along with the mask comes information about it.

【Hou Ling Mask (Accessories)】

Quality: Rare

Special effects:

[Spirit] Enslaves the target soul and enchants the mask. The attributes obtained depend on the enslaved soul. The special battle may fail, depending on the strength of the target soul.

(Current number of slaves 0/3)

[Thousand Faces] Wearing a mask can temporarily transform the appearance into that of an enslaved soul. The duration depends on the mental condition of the holder.

[Soul Control] Wear a mask, awaken the enslaved soul, and temporarily obtain one of its skills. The duration depends on the mental condition of the holder.

Rare quality equipment is indeed extraordinary!

Even though it was Yan Jing's first time coming into contact with such items, he could still feel the power of the Boiling Mask.

As long as three souls are collected, regardless of the special attributes after enchantment, Yan Jing can immediately obtain three skills!

Putting away the mask, Yan Jing couldn't wait to use the previous mission reward three and directly started to draw random items of rare quality.

"The reward takes effect, the items are being drawn..."

【Shen Du·Wooden Man Stake (Foreign Object)】

Quality: Rare

Special effects:

[Mingwu] (Passive) When any melee skill of the holder breaks through the bottleneck, it has a certain chance to be triggered, causing the skill to mutate or strengthen.

(Skill proficiency is at 19%, 39%...and so on as the bottleneck)

[Self-discipline] Choose a melee skill and carve it into the wooden dummy. This skill is temporarily unavailable and will increase proficiency over time (cannot be used to break through bottlenecks).

Current slot: empty

[Zhengwu] When practicing melee skills and melee specialization with wooden dummies, the efficiency is doubled!

Looking at this rare foreign object obtained through a lottery, Yan Jing fell into silence for a moment, and then took a breath of air.

Hang up to upgrade proficiency, plus a certain chance of obtaining enhanced skills, plus an increase in the practice speed of specific skills.

There is no doubt that for those who specialize in ancient martial arts, the effect of this auxiliary foreign object is simply exaggerated.

In fact, Yan Jing himself was very jealous.

After all, his legacy also enhances physical fitness, and he will definitely develop in the direction of close combat in the future.

The problem is that Yan Jing currently has no melee skills at all, let alone specific skills related to ancient martial arts. He has watched a lot of martial arts dramas and movies, but after watching it twice, it is obviously not up to the standard of skills.

Is it possible that I have to go ashore and find a martial arts school to learn boxing?

This idea is obviously not very reliable. To reach a level that can be recognized as a skill, it will definitely not be an overnight effort.

Are there any shortcuts?

Yan Jing immediately thought of the 230 fire points.

This thing is most likely currency. Since you have money, you should have somewhere to spend it.

"The Torch Market has been opened. The permissions are currently at the lowest level, and the purchase list has been listed."

As if he sensed Yan Jing's inner needs, the notification sound in his mind sounded again.

The scene in front of me changed and turned into an unfolded scroll, filled with the names of various items from left to right.

Yan Jing raised his eyes and saw that the things sold in the market were simply dazzling.

There are everything from cold weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds to firearms, grenades and other firearms.

It's just that most of them are low-level items. The highest quality ones come with a special attribute called "Exquisite". Most of them are marked with "Ordinary" on the back. They belong to the category that as long as you have money, you can get them in this world.

After a cursory glance, Yan Jing quickly lost interest in them. His eyes moved up and down as the list changed. When he turned to the foreign objects page, his eyes suddenly lit up.

[Unarmed Combat Mastery (Elementary)], 70 Fire Points

Immediately gain primary hand-to-hand combat proficiency after use.

[Cold Weapon Mastery (Elementary)], 90 Fire Points

The effect is the same as above.

This type of scroll is a passive ability that allows people to develop combat power in a short period of time. There are many similar scrolls, and the prices are almost the same.

With the fire points Yan Jing earned in the novice event, he can only buy two specializations at most.

After flipping through a few pages, in addition to the primary scrolls for various specializations, Yan Jing discovered that there were other independent small columns for foreign objects.

For example, [Foreign Object·Talk] [Foreign Object·Medicine] [Foreign Object·Essence]...

There were all kinds of strange things in these columns. Yan Jing saw a lot of things that he might need in the future, but he didn't rush to get them and continued to scroll down.

There are wooden mannequins around, so I have to find a melee skill first to increase my proficiency.

Turning directly to the skills page, Yan Jing couldn't help but frown when he saw that there was only one page of skill choices.

You must know that there are not just melee skills here, but all kinds of skills, and the former only accounts for a small part.

What's more important is that the price of most skills is quite high, easily earning a three-digit salary.

"It seems that the skill scrolls in the Torch Market are scarce goods, which is strange... Because my authority is too low, or even the Torch Market itself cannot create skill scrolls at will, and must use other methods.

Incoming goods?”

While thinking, Yan Jing sifted through the melee skills that he might need, and finally locked his target.

【The Three Waves of Hell】

Quality: ordinary

Attributes: Independent/Active

Special effect: After activating the skill, the speed of the next three melee attacks will be greatly increased, the damage caused will increase gradually, and will completely explode in the last attack.

The damage value and incremental efficiency are determined by the user's personal strength and hitting position.

Cooling time: Depends on the strength of the muscles and bones.

This is Yan Jing’s final choice after shopping around...

Well, the fact is that other melee skills require more than 150 fire points, and Yan Jing also plans to buy an unarmed combat proficiency, while leaving some fire points to prepare for the events he may experience next.

In this way, only the price of Yama Sandielang meets his psychological expectations, which is 110 salary points.

Besides, Yan Jing doesn't think this skill is weak.

In his opinion, the reason why Yama Sandielang can be sold so cheaply is because of its mediocre quality, largely because it is not like other skills that can produce specific effects as long as it is used.

Its strength depends entirely on the strength of the user.

In other words, this skill is likely to have extremely high demands on physical fitness, and Yan Jing, who has the legacy of the tiger dragon, has nothing but strong bones!

Purchase【King of Hell Sandie Waves】.

Although this type of skill does not have detailed numerical descriptions and levels, it does have proficiency.

The higher the proficiency, the more powerful and special effects the skills can exert.

Put it directly into the slot of the wooden dummy, and the list will be pulled back immediately.

After deducting 110 salary points, there are still 120 points left.

In order to ensure his own combat power, Yan Jing immediately bought [Unarmed Combat Mastery (Elementary)].

If there were no Yama King Sandielang, Yan Jing might choose Firearms Mastery.
To be continued...
