CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: STARTLED SWAN DANCE

Zhou Yingting’s purchase of the Han Sword arrived quickly, delivered the next day.

Upon opening the box, a long sword with an ancient style came into view.

The Han Sword overall gives a feeling of scholarly elegance and restrained power.

Zhou Yingting held the Han Sword in his hand, and after weighing it slightly, he felt it might be a bit too light.

This was probably because Zhou Yingting’s Power Attributes had increased.

For him, the length of the Han Sword felt just right.

"Let’s try Startled Swan!"

He thought of the Magic Entry he hadn’t used yet, eager to test its power.

Zhou Yingting quickly picked up the Han Sword, sheathed it in its wooden scabbard, and hurriedly went out.

On the way, some passersby looked curiously at the man carrying a sharp longsword but mostly didn’t panic.

Zhou Yingting rode his scooter all the way to the front of an abandoned construction site.

After ensuring there was no one around, Zhou Yingting drew his Han Sword with a clang.

Then Zhou Yingting activated the Jing Hong Entry.

The next moment, Zhou Yingting felt a mysterious knowledge surging in his mind, instinctively gripping the Han Sword tightly, raising the tip to his chest.

Suddenly, a small whirlwind surrounded Zhou Yingting’s body.

As Zhou Yingting’s Spiritual Power began to rapidly decline.

The longer Zhou Yingting charged up, the more the Han Sword in his hand shone with a crystalline glow, as if something was entwining the sword.

After seven seconds passed, Zhou Yingting swiftly swung the sword.

Instantly, Zhou Yingting’s whole being became a shadow, rapidly piercing forward.

The Han Sword in his hand appeared as a starlight, dancing like a Startled Swan with him.

When Zhou Yingting stopped, the large concrete pillar standing before him was peacefully split into countless pieces without a sound.

"Amazing!"

Gazing at the instantly sliced concrete pillar, Zhou Yingting’s eyes shone brightly.

Looking down at the Han Sword in his hand, there wasn’t a single notch on it.

This Startled Swan is truly powerful!

With this force, Zhou Yingting thought his Attributes over thirty couldn’t withstand the blow.

After packing up the Han Sword, Zhou Yingting left satisfied, then booked a high-speed train ticket to visit the trade fair.

But right after booking the train ticket, when the information was transmitted, Zhou Yingting was taken aback.

What was supposed to be a second-class ticket turned into a business-class ticket.

"Is it because of the 14th Bureau?"

The software on their side shouldn’t have any problems, the problem likely arises from the 14th Bureau.

Probably trying to use such methods to reduce potential disputes.

Since upgrading to a business class is a good thing, Zhou Yingting didn’t bother to worry.

After packing, he went straight home.

The next day, Zhou Yingting packed his things and went directly to the station.

Upon arriving at the station, he anticipated that carrying his items might lead to some questioning.

Unexpectedly, as he arrived at the station, a staff member greeted him immediately.

"Are you Mr. Zhou?"

The approaching staff member inquired.

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting paused, "Who are you?"

"Here’s the thing, Mr. Zhou is a special guest requested by higher-ups, saying it’s inconvenient for you to use the regular passage, so I’ve arranged for you to use a special passage."

The staff member actually didn’t know the identity of the person in front of him.

But since it’s arranged by superiors, he followed the instruction promptly.

Zhou Yingting glanced at the surveillance camera above.

With the 14th Bureau’s capabilities, monitoring someone’s movements is indeed easy.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting nodded and followed the staff through the special passage, skipping security checks for the items he’s carrying.

After sitting on the train for more than an hour, Zhou Yingting arrived smoothly at his destination.

After getting off the train, Zhou Yingting directly caught a taxi to the destination.

The destination was a manor in the suburbs, and upon his arrival, the manor was already hosting quite a few people.

There’s an open space outside the manor, filled with many stalls, alongside a gigantic signboard.

As Zhou Yingting approached, his eyes were immediately drawn to the signboard.

Many things were written on the signboard, most were calls for Magic Entries.

"Seeking two Sword Mastery Entries! Price negotiable."

"Looking for a Fireball Technique Entry, price negotiable."

"Seeking information to enter the future tech instance, or a potion capable of curing terminal cancer!"

The big notice board displayed all sorts of requests.

Some were requesting potions, others Magic Entries.

Seeing the various Magic Entry requests, Zhou Yingting felt slightly moved.

"Hey, why do they want two Sword Mastery Entries?"

Beside Zhou Yingting, someone else was observing.

Noticing this, Zhou Yingting inquired.

The young man turned back, glanced at Zhou Yingting, and sized him up, "New here?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting nodded slightly.

The young man wasn’t surprised, "Magic Entries can be synthesized, three into one makes them more powerful. If you learn any Magic Entries and think they are mighty, look for more similar entries to study, and when you’ve learned three, they’ll synthesize automatically."

"However, once synthesized, although the power increases, the consumption usually increases too. Whether to synthesize entries, consider carefully."

After speaking, the young man didn’t say more.

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting’s eyes shifted, realizing entries could indeed be synthesized into three.

In the last instance, he had a rough idea but couldn’t verify.

Now it seems, his thoughts were correct.

Though synthesizing the three might increase consumption, which could be troublesome.

And who knows, if the Jing Hong synthesizes into three, how much the power will increase.

Thinking about it, Zhou Yingting mimicked others and left his information on the big board.

He needs a Lucky 4 Entry, price negotiable, and he left his contact information.

After doing this, Zhou Yingting clapped his hands and wandered around the manor.

The other entry holders in the manor, each had a demeanor that greatly broadened Zhou Yingting’s horizons.

Some appeared like martial heroes carrying long swords, others wore exoskeleton armors resembling future warriors.

Zhou Yingting even saw a woman, only about 1.5 meters tall but carrying a massive firearm with a barrel half a meter thick.

Glancing around, the entire manor seemed full of bizarre elements.
