Master of Kaidan
Chapter 278: Companion Phantom Object

Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Companion Phantom Object

Compared to the abundance of powers, "Preaching and Solving Doubts" seemed rather standard by the rules of the current world, akin to "Libra-Swearer’s" Inheritance, and "Everyone in Yan Country Knows Martial Arts-Source" of the Kung Fu Dream. It could descend upon those who wished for guidance from the Mystical Lord, at most maintaining a sense of presence.

If one had to say it was indispensable, it was that it allowed Feng Xue to descend into this world without needing a doorway, after all, a six-layer villa could only maintain the opening of a single door. Since this world had already been swept by a Kaidan that could envelop the world, it was pointless to continue operating it; better to switch to a fresh Kaidan in another world.

As for Old Li...

As long as Old Li was right in the head, he would stay in this world until he had brushed up on the terms, not to mention the contract between the two was just for a year. Once the year was over, sweeping him out would pose no issue.

However, Feng Xue felt that if Old Li could pull off the Kaidan of the Yue Lai Inn, although it wouldn’t secure him a Residence Right at the sixtieth layer, his financial situation would surely be no problem, and who knows, it might even revive the Kaidan of that Qigong master (meaning providing support, not creating a kaidan in reality).

"Speaking of which, although I clearly have the ’Savior’ tag, why hasn’t there been a ’World Salvation’ or something like that by the rules of the current world?" Feng Xue muttered to himself, but he quickly realized.

He, as the Mystical Lord, had indeed performed world-saving achievements, but after all, it was in the dissemination of Cultivation Techniques. He hadn’t personally carried out world-saving actions, and the rules of the current world were more derived from legends like "appearing under xx circumstances," so it wasn’t unreasonable for him not to have such authority.

Thinking this, Feng Xue glanced at the audience who were still wildly cheering below. Knowing that it would probably not quiet down in Jining City for a while, Feng Xue quietly left the podium and returned to his room on the tenth layer of the Mystical Lord Pavilion to start checking his three companion phantom objects—

Name: Phantom Object·Yellow Robe

Elements: [Clothing], [Weapon], [Armor], [Solid], [Sharp], [Comfortable], [Precious]

Description: The personal weapon of the grandmaster, the Mystical Lord; the main body is a bright yellow silk caped cloak. Because it had been pervaded by inner strength from the "Mystical Lord Secret Scripture" over the years, it became a supreme divine weapon: solid and durable, sharp as a knife. However, to fully unleash its power, one must pair it with the martial arts skill "Yellow Robe Eighteen Falls."

Legend has it that this cloak has its own spirituality and can block various attacks on its own. With the enhancement of martial arts, it can exhibit extremely refined combat skills.

Note: This cape cannot be overlaid by any other equipment.

...

Name: Phantom Object·Iron Armor

Elements: [Armor], [Solid], [Enhancement], [Lightweight], [Agile]

Description: The equipment the grandmaster, the Mystical Lord, wore before he made his name; the main body is a full-body armor that completely encases the wearer.

Legend has it that this armor was the technological crystal of the reclusive sect Mechanical Palace, not only able to withstand the erosion of demonic qi, but also greatly enhance the physical qualities of the wearer, whilst being lightweight and agile, not causing any restriction to the body.

The most miraculous aspect is that this armor seems extremely easy to put on — it is said that the Mystical Lord could don and doff the armor within just a few breaths.

Note: As long as you wear this armor, you too can be Mr. Iron.

...

Name: Phantom Object·Mystical Lord Secret Scripture

Elements: [Martial Arts], [Secret Manual], [Mysterious], [Learning]

Summary: A supreme martial art created by the grandmaster Mystical Lord, consisting of three volumes. The first volume, Training the Self, includes three cultivation techniques: "Immortal Sand Soul Returning Skill," "Demon Capturing Evil Technique," and "Taiyin Transformation Technique." The second volume, Warding Off Enemies, contains "Heavenly Demon Various Forms Fist," "Yellow Robe Eighteen Falls," and "Shengxuan Dingguan Step." However, the overarching volume is a medical book named "Ganoderma Life Extension Method."

This cultivation technique is founded on medical skill, uses Demonic Qi as a catalyst, and studies human anatomy extensively. At advanced levels, evading death and extending life becomes a trivial matter.

Note: The pinnacle of Piescholar’s work.

...

The three phantom objects didn’t have any particularly strange attributes, but they were interesting in detail.

For example, the Yellow Robe would not be covered by equipment, meaning that regardless of whether Feng Xue transformed into Masked Rider or wore unrestrained fashionable casual clothing, the Yellow Robe would always be on the outermost layer instead of being worn inside.

The Iron Armor included a vest called "Mr. Iron Shirt," but Feng Xue didn’t mind this much, because the real feature of the equipment was that it could stack with the "All Things Squeezing Driver" and "Knight Belt" equipment.

In other words, Feng Xue could wear the Iron Armor first, then use the All Things Squeezing Driver to transform, and finally activate the Masked Rider Belt for a triple amplification; he could also use "Open Mouth and Close Eyes" three times to avoid three fatal injuries. Moreover, thanks to the presence of the Saint Fighter’s training garb, the amplification wouldn’t even decrease, which could be considered triple Instant Death Resistance in a sense.

The "Mystical Lord Secret Scripture," in essence, is like the "Step Heaven Song" skill book in that it’s a non-consumable skill book that would allow Feng Xue to learn the "real" Mystical Lord Secret Scripture, rather than relying on all those potions and powers to bluff others.

Of course, that’s not the main point; the most exquisite part of this phantom object is the "Piescholar" note. Simply put, it turned all the bravado that Feng Xue had touted when he first introduced the Mystical Lord Secret Scripture into actual power, and it would even grow stronger as the Kaidan of Mystical Lord spread and the number of books in the Mystical Lord Pavilion increased.

Unlike the mere "learning" amplification that every person in Yan Country has for martial arts, the martial arts skill that the Mystical Lord Secret Scripture brought to Feng Xue was directly perfected!

Opening the "Mystical Lord Secret Scripture," Feng Xue felt his body begin to transform; the structure of his body started to change, and the cross-training method of the Taiyin Transformation Technique was instantly pushed to its peak.

Feng Xue had originally practiced the body-refining cultivation technique "Nine Death Undying Body," rather than the Golden Bell Shield, which he had gotten a long time ago. During his challenges in Babylon Tower, due to constant death and resurrection, he accidentally perfected it. This martial arts technique, which used Death Qi to temper the body, was also the prototype for the Life and Death Qi and the Taiyin Transformation Technique in the Mystical Lord Secret Scripture.

But at this moment, the derivative Taiyin Transformation Technique was completely overshadowed by the power of "Piescholar," inheriting not only the original superior recovery power but also soaring the abilities to resist blows, endurance, and environment adaptability to the extreme.

Of course, the beauty enhancement feature naturally went online as well.

It’s worth mentioning that the Taiyin Transformation Technique optimized on the original basis, rather than changing the face directly, so there was no need to worry about becoming completely unrecognizable.

Compared to the drastic changes of the Taiyin Transformation Technique, the influence of the other martial arts was much smaller. Aside from joints that could be disassembled and twisted at will, most of them concerned memory and techniques. The only real qualitative change was the inclusion of Life and Death Qi within the initially calm and balanced Inner Strength.

Of course, the "Ganoderma Life Extension Method," which had been discussed among many famous doctors at the Taiyi Bureau and Hundred Herbs Hall, combining modern medical knowledge and mystical martial arts medical skills to the point that even Feng Xue didn’t recognize it, was now fully understood and mastered by him.

At this moment, Feng Xue really wanted to stand on the rooftop of the Mystical Lord Pavilion and shout, "I am invincible in this world" or something.

But considering the debuff of his "Martial Arts Legend," he silently suppressed this impulse.

"Low key, low key..."
