Chapter 521: Chapter 86 Heroic Alliance_3

Whether it was grinding for reputation or boosting Favorability, it was all twice the result with half the effort.

So he was exceptionally popular among the Jianghu people.

Xia Yi the Unrivaled also had a nosy temperament and, with nothing better to do, had almost maxed out the Favorability of the Heroic Alliance’s experts. While Favorability couldn’t directly increase combat power, it did earn one many special treatments.

On regular days, whether buying an elixir, learning Martial Arts, or Forging Weapons, there were always suitable NPCs to help out.

Hearing the introduction, Xiao Jie thought to himself that this Profession was not bad at all. Although it wasn’t as immediately effective as being a Swordsman, the benefits were plentiful.

"What does this temporary Favorability mean?" Ye Luo suddenly asked.

"It simply means that I’m the one recommending you, so they recognize you as a friend. But since it’s an indirect relationship, it’s temporary. If you want to continue increasing Favorability, you need to first grind the real Favorability to 60, then can you continue to increase it. Moreover, if I fall out with them, your Favorability would reset to zero.

Luckily, even though 60 points of Favorability isn’t very high--just Jianghu friends--it’s enough to unlock the ’spar’ feature."

Xiao Jie right-clicked on a Martial Arts Master’s profile, and indeed, there was now the option to spar.

Xiao Jie glanced at everyone present. Although they all seemed like experts, they didn’t look like they knew the Supreme Divine Skill.

"Speaking of which, who are you planning to learn that Supreme Sword Skill from?"

"That person isn’t here. He’s in a thatched hut at the foot of a cliff behind the Heroic Alliance’s mountain. Why, do you want to take a look too? Aren’t you a Saber-user?"

However, Xiao Jie didn’t conceal his intentions: "Actually, it’s for an old friend of mine. He asked me to find an expert in Supreme Sword Skill. The fellow wants to advance to become a Sword Saint. He has met all the other conditions and just lacks a Supreme Sword Skill. If it’s convenient, it would be great if you could show me the way. Of course, if it’s inconvenient, never mind..."

Xiao Jie still remembered Jiu Jianxian’s request. After all, they had been in a team together and could be considered friends.

Besides, with a Monster Inner Core as a reward, he would help if it was convenient.

Yi Wushuang laughed, "Haha, there’s nothing inconvenient about it. I’ll take you there in a bit. But learning this Supreme Sword Skill is not easy. The higher the NPCs’ strength, the harder it is to increase their Favorability. I spent a whole month just on the prerequisite tasks for this Supreme Sword Skill.

I invested hundreds of taels, didn’t even get a splash of water, and I spent nearly all my savings completing these tasks. Now all I have left is a saber and a sword, having sold all my Equipment.

Your friend better be prepared mentally.

Moreover, that guy has a difficult temper. The usual tricks in the worldly society don’t work on him. At most, I can take you there, but to learn the Sword Skill, your friend will have to rely on himself."

Xiao Jie curiously asked, "So how did you manage to persuade that expert?"

Yi Wushuang said, "His daughter was near death. I promised to refine a Seven-Turns Returning Vitality Pill to save his daughter, and only then did he agree to teach me. But he only has this one daughter, and the mission to save her is one-time-only. Once I save her, the mission naturally disappears. Your friend will have to think of another solution."

While they were talking, Bai Ze had already found a Swordsman NPC and started sparring.

They switched to wooden swords and began practicing.

In sparring mode, elixirs, talismans, Magic Artifacts, Spells, Mystical Skills, and other special Skills couldn’t be used. Only physical combat Skills were allowed, even Equipment attributes were forcibly nullified, and the only weapons allowed were wooden sabers and wooden swords.

It was completely reliant on individual skill.

Moreover, as soon as one’s Life Value fell below 50%, the spar would automatically end, which was the best for improving one’s skill.

At this moment, Bai Ze was facing off against the Shadowless Swordsman.

But it was clear that he was getting one-sidedly clobbered. Before he could complete a set of Swordsmanship, he was chopped seven or eight times, and his Blood Volume rapidly fell below 50%.

"Hehe, young brother, your Swordsmanship is not bad, but your Proficiency is lacking. I’ll give you that."

The Shadowless Swordsman didn’t pursue further and cupped his fists in salute.

Bai Ze also performed the [Cup Fists] action. "Senior Ling Hu, your Swordsmanship is superior. I am far inferior."

He quickly adapted to local customs.

Xiao Jie had a thought. Why not give it a try?

He right-clicked on "Sky Blade Suppressing Eight Desolates" Jin Wujiu.

"Senior, I have heard that your Saber Skill is divine, earning you the reputation of ’Sky Blade Shattering Eight Desolates.’ I am eager to learn a thing or two. Please do not hesitate to teach me."

Jin Wujiu was a man in his forties, with a long, handsome beard, looking quite the hero. Upon hearing this, he nodded slightly, "Young brother, it seems you are also a skilled Saber-user. Very well, let’s spar, but let’s stop at a touch and not forget the Jianghu Loyalty."

Saying so, he performed the [Cup Fists] salute.

System notification: You have learned a new action module [Cup Fists].

So that’s how Bai Ze learned that [Cup Fists] action...

Xiao Jie right-clicked the action module and used [Cup Fists].

"Please proceed, senior."

System notification: Spar will start soon, 3—2—1.

As the countdown ended, Xiao Jie’s Equipment attributes were instantly disabled, and his weapon turned into a wooden saber.
