Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 502 - 306: The Master Who Became a Bandit in Luocheng
Jingjing, "I say I’m your little servant now, and I’m switching roles. Do you believe it?"
Zhang Ze, "I don’t."
Jingjing, "Then never mind."
Under the exaggerated right angle is an adorable horn about the size of a crunchy taco.
If you don’t look closely, you might not even notice it.
And this Jingjing, or Miemie, is probably the ancestor of Gray Miemie, the legendary Black Miemie known for loving hallucinogenic mushrooms, who severely injured generations of virgin Divine Souls.
Though it’s quite a mouthful, Zhang Ze feels he’s right in his thinking.
Because after Zhang Ze snapped off Black Miemie’s horn, she plucked out her other horn and thrust it at Zhang Ze.
A sudden surge of Purple Thunder erupted inside the room, turning the beautiful and tasty grapes into charcoal.
Logically speaking, Zhang Ze should have timely shouted out for help, calling someone to protect him.
But considering he’s likely the strongest person in this mansion, he dispelled the thought.
He pinched a Sword Technique with his fingers, wielding the horn he snapped off to slash at Black Miemie.
The house collapsed dramatically amidst their duel.
Before being buried, they transformed into two streams of light, flying into the air.
After her ambush failed, Black Miemie didn’t linger in battle; she threw her long horn at Zhang Ze and then morphed into a mass of black water, exploding mid-air and fleeing in all directions.
Upon witnessing this, Zhang Ze reached forward, with Thunder Pattern flickering in his palm. In the autumn rain, Golden Thunder rumbled from all directions, and a phantom of a Golden Dragon faintly appeared amidst the thunder.
This was a Golden Core Technique Zhang Ze cobbled together out of boredom, combining Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Thunder Technique with Celestial Sect’s Fallen God Binding.
He then reskinned the golden chains of Fallen God Binding into a Golden Dragon.
Later, his senior sister Lu Ning bought the spell from him at a high price and requested a handwritten version by Zhang Ze himself, including the pen...
Of course, these are all trivial details and irrelevant.
The point is, Zhang Ze’s spell failed.
The emerging Golden Dragon dissipated with a bang, the chaotic Spiritual Qi forming a vortex that, while capturing some of the black water, became uncontrollable.
Before being backfired, Zhang Ze hurled it into the sky.
By then, Black Miemie’s presence had vanished.
With no other choice, Zhang Ze landed back in the courtyard, where walls had collapsed and roofs had caved in.
Leaf Girl poked her head out from behind a half-collapsed low wall, timidly holding an oil-paper umbrella with broken ribs, "Master, are you okay?"
"I’m fine." Seeing the girl wanting to shield him from the rain, Zhang Ze waved her off, indicating she needn’t come over.
Afterward, Zhang Ze cast a Spirit Talisman upwards, gradually halting the autumn rain in the courtyard.
Looking at the successfully activated Rain-Stop Talisman, Zhang Ze felt absent-minded and casually asked, "You go and check if anyone is hurt... And who are you again?"
It was a casual inquiry, but Leaf Girl clearly misunderstood his intention.
"Master, your insight is clear; I truly am myself, not someone fake. My life was saved by you; I, Su Ye, am loyal without dishonesty."
"Regarding Jingjing’s matter, I really don’t know..."
Zhang Ze, "..."
So your name truly is Leaf right...
After sweet-talking Miss Su into leaving, Zhang Ze sat on the only remaining stone stool in the courtyard.
He pinched a Finger Technique, casting a single Fallen God Binding on the rubble before him, the kind without a dragon.
Successfully, the rubble before Zhang Ze was bound by golden chains, floating into the air.
Zhang Ze again used Thunder Pattern alone to naturally shatter the stones with the jumping thunderbolts.
But when he tried to combine these two moves again, he failed once more.
Before the spell went out of control, Zhang Ze dissipated the spiritual Qi, pondered a bit, and then casually cast the Five Ghost Transport technique.
Seeing the Five Ghosts standing in a row before him, eyes vacant, Zhang Ze lightly tapped them, "Explode."
Yet, nothing happened.
Zhang Ze’s first invented spell, Golden Armor Soldiers, failed as well.
Seeing this, Zhang Ze began experimenting with other new spells he had developed on his own.
As expected, all failed to work.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Ze found the answer.
The problem wasn’t with him but with the Illusion Realm; likely an issue with its version.
This thing probably doesn’t auto-update; its version is still Dongqi 1.0, far too outdated now.
Unable to simulate these noble, uniquely mechanized Sword Sect 2.0 new spells.
Just like how 2.0 mechanisms can’t work on a 1.0 map.
What a pity.
Realizing this, Zhang Ze summoned the system. After confirming most functions were normal, he tried entering the system’s trial space.
Yet, he failed once more.
Moreover, the system subtly rebuffed him, pretending to update instead of crashing, pulling up a loading bar while updating.
But the loading progress was akin to Baidu Netdisk without a membership, crawling forward drop by drop like a leaking pipe.
Zhang Ze estimated it would take four to five days to finish loading.
And knowing the system’s quirks, Zhang Ze figured even if he patiently waited those days, what awaited him would probably be a fragmented draw like on Pinduoduo.
"Something’s indeed peculiar." Zhang Ze muttered softly.
Entering the system space within the Illusion Realm was something Zhang Ze had done before.
Whether in the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror or even his uncle’s dream, it succeeded easily.
Yet, this time it failed.
