Chapter 410: Chapter 294 Stepping Forward Slash and Osmanthus Pills

Six days had passed since Zhang Xiaoman’s last lottery draw, and he had been saving up his chances all this time.

Now that he had entered the Original Realm Space again, he planned to use them all up at once.

Looking at the number 6 displayed on the "Draw" function of the System panel, he was still filled with anticipation, despite having drawn so many times already.

Actually, whatever he drew, even if it was Star Dust, would be very useful to Zhang Xiaoman.

Not to mention Extraordinary Items, whether it was a Skill or an item, they could all be said to be extremely valuable.

Even if he had bad luck and all he drew was Star Dust, that would still be a sure gain without any loss, after all, there were so many people in the Star Alliance waiting for him to distribute equipment.

"6 is my lucky number after all, I hope the results this time will be more impressive!"

Zhang Xiaoman murmured softly, and without further hesitation, he reached out and clicked on the draw function six times in a row, using up all his chances in one go.

"Congratulations, you have obtained a white item—Star Dust."

"Congratulations, you have obtained a white item—Star Dust."

"..."

After a series of System prompts, Zhang Xiaoman finally saw a different change at the bottom of the list.

"Congratulations, you have obtained a white Skill—Stepping Forward Slash."

"Congratulations, you have obtained a white item—Osmanthus Pills."

All his chances used up, Zhang Xiaoman’s attention first focused on the color of these items, and seeing the last result of the draw, he could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Alright, he admitted that those carefree thoughts earlier were just him consoling himself, but System, did you really have to deal out six blanks, that’s just too discouraging.

The first four were the most basic Star Dust, and the last two were a Skill and an item, respectively, but sadly, they were both white.

In the space before him, six objects fell out, and Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand, collecting the Star Dust first, then turned his gaze to the remaining two items.

"Damn, Stepping Forward Slash!"

He raised his right hand, and the white Skill Light Ball floated up in front of him.

"This is a renowned Skill indeed..."

After his gaze lingered for a moment, the introduction of the Skill immediately appeared before Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes.

[Stepping Forward Slash]

—Attempt a rush to quickly sprint behind the target.

"Huh? This description, is it really that Skill... It seems like it’s a physical technique, should be similar to One Flash, right?"

Zhang Xiaoman’s expression shifted, and then he reached out to lightly grasp the Light Ball, giving it a slight squeeze until it shattered.

Instantly, white sparks scattered and floated around, and after a brief delay, they surged into his body.

Bringing up his personal attribute panel, Zhang Xiaoman opened the newly acquired Skill to observe its detailed attributes.

[Stepping Forward Slash]

Effect: Gather Dark Energy underfoot to rapidly sprint behind a single target.

Cast Range: 5 meters

Consumption: 20 Physical Strength, 5 points of Dark Energy

Cooling Time: 1 second

Same Target Cooling Time: 10 seconds

——"As long as I press E fast enough, my teammates’ question marks can’t catch up with me."

Gazing at the last line of the skill description, Zhang Xiaoman’s expression was quite peculiar.

Finally, had he drawn his signature skill?

"The stamina consumption is the same as One Flash, but it uses an additional 4 Dark Energy, still not sure what that specifically affects."

Actually, just by looking at the name of the skill, Xiao Man could already guess what it would look like when cast, but for the sake of caution, he decided to test it first to see what the effects were like.

Using this skill required selecting a target, and the only living thing left in the Original Realm Space besides him was Da Niu.

Zhang Xiaoman approached within 5 meters of Da Niu, then leaned forward, activating the skill and dashing forward.

He increased his speed to the maximum, flitting past the snail like a shadow, appearing behind it in the blink of an eye.

Da Niu was startled by his sudden move, quickly retracting its head back into its shell.

Zhang Xiaoman stopped his motion, his face wearing a slightly unsatisfied expression. He simply activated Constitution Enhancement and tried the skill several more times.

"Awesome!"

Stopping when he was a bit out of breath, he leaned on his knees to catch his breath, then straightened up to review his status from just now.

Unlike direct cast skills, these abilities that consume physical stamina seemed more flexible and were not bound by frameworks, and were also affected by personal constitution.

For example, before activating Constitution Enhancement, the speed of Stepping Forward Slash was noticeably slower compared to after he activated Constitution Enhancement.

Although it would be a fleeting moment for the average person, after improving his neural response, he could still easily feel the differences.

Another point different from magic-type skills was that, for physical skills, you couldn’t just think about it and cast it; you needed the corresponding limb movements to use them.

Otherwise, just standing there and sending out commands from your mind wouldn’t make your body move on its own.

"Hmm, this skill should be considered a movement burst, and no matter what, it’s pretty cool!"

Zhang Xiaoman was quite satisfied with his newly drawn skill; it truly lived up to the renown of the Sword Master’s signature move, looking quite impressive when used.

To those unaware of the truth, they might even believe it was a Lightweight Skill if said as much.

Having checked the skill, naturally, the next thing was the items.

Zhang Xiaoman gestured for the floating white marble to come over, cradling it in his palm and focusing his gaze, he opened its attribute panel.

[Osmanthus Pills]

Effect: Consumption increases lifespan, limited to Spiritual Beasts.

Lifespan Increase: 1 year

——Made from glutinous rice and osmanthus flowers.

"Lifespan!?"

At first, upon seeing the description of this item, Zhang Xiaoman’s expression almost couldn’t stay composed.

But once he read the explanation clearly, he deflated like a punctured ball and sighed deeply.

"Ah..."

He sniffed the Osmanthus Pill with a green leaf sprouting from it at his nose, somewhat reluctant to give up, glanced at the description again, but ultimately discarded the thought.

"As expected, it’s just a White Level item, relying on it for immortality is still a bit too far-fetched, and it’s only for Spiritual Beasts, so it has nothing to do with me..."

Zhang Xiaoman held the marble in his hand, shaking his head inwardly, but then his eyes suddenly caught the snail beside him.

The creature had seemed quite excited since earlier, continuously pushing towards him, and even after being frightened by the Stepping Forward Slash, it quickly extended its head out of its shell, eagerly looking at him.
