Chapter 63: The Phaseless Magic

Hidden task reward? Phaseless Magic?

Bloody hell!

Xu Que immediately widened his eyes.

This was the first time he had received this type of system message. It became apparent to him that the reason for this message, was that the Phaseless Faction had a very far-reaching history. Although they had been reduced to a small Faction now, it still triggered the hidden task completion in the system and allowed Xu Que to chance upon this stroke of luck.

Just by killing a single Elder, he’ll be able to acquire a chapter of "Minor Phaseless Art". When six of them were accumulated, exchanging for the "Phaseless Magic" was possible.

Xu Que was very clear that this skill was not available in the system store and for this skill to be termed as "High-Class Sky-Ranked", it was obvious that this skill book’s value was anything but ordinary.

"Young lad, bring out any magical powers you have from your arsenal. I’ll let you be of some use before your death!"

At this moment, Elder Wu let out a warcry, and activated an identical version of Xu Que’s Lightning Haste. Lifting up his sharp sword and using it as a Buster Sword, he executed the the Flame-Devouring Wave and advanced towards Xu Que with killing intent.

Of course, these skills were all imitations. The speed and power of the imitated skills were not comparable to Xu Que’s as he could only imitate around 30% power of the original skill.

Elder Wu’s eyes were filled with ecstasy. The two skills he had imitated were remarkably powerful and had allowed his overall strength to increase by several folds.

The group of Phaseless Sect disciples witnessed Elder Wu advancing, and they all cheered him on.

"Elder Wu’s might is unmatched!"

"What a beautiful execution! His stance is out of this world. Only Elder Wu could do that!"

"Elder Wu, quickly make a mincemeat out of this scum to avenge for the death of senior brother!"

...

Xu Que creased his brows and also used the Lightning Haste to dodge Elder Wu’s attack. He secretly celebrated that he had not used his Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation. If he did, Elder Wu’s power would increase again.

However, the situation at hand was still very endangering to Xu Que.

"Why? Do you not dare to use other skills? Or should I say that that’s all you have in you?" Elder Wu slashed his sword through the air and mockingly laughed.

Xu Que briefly nodded, letting out an icy cold smile from his lip corner, "Old fart, you talk too much! You think you are all tough with your Minor Phaseless Art? I’ve a skill which you definitely cannot imitate. Want to see?"

"Hehe... you ignorant little lad. There‘s no skill that I, from Phaseless Faction, cannot learn and imitate!" Elder Wu started to laugh maniacally.

"I shall show you!" With a chilly laugh, he lifted his palm in the air and chanted in his mind.

At the moment, a serene, white-coloured flame emerged from his palm. It started to churn non-stop, giving out a chilly aura. The flame then started to diffuse and fill the air around.

Elder Wu squinted his eyes and quietly activated the Minor Phaseless Art. But at the next moment, he was stunned.

"How... How could this be possible? Why couldn’t I detect any skill?!" Elder Wu was astonished. Could it be that there existed a skill which the Minor Phaseless Art cannot learn?

"Dumbass. It’s because this isn’t a skill! It’s a mystical flame. Now go to hell!" Xu Que’s eyes let out a chilly light and thrusted his palm forward.

Boom!

The mighty Bone Freezing Fire abruptly rushed forward and akin to a gust of white-coloured wind, it engulfed Elder Wu and the group of disciples in a flash.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Core Bearing Stage Cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Core Bearing Stage Cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing Golden Core Stage Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!"

...

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing Phaseless Faction Elder. The reward is 200,000 experience points and the <> Chapter x1!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!"

A chain of system beep message appeared and sounded in his mind.

Xu Que immediately entered the system interface, opened up the item bag and a book, identical to a martial arts manual appeared. It was the <> Chapter.

[ <> Chapter]:

Phaseless, shapeless and no traces can be found.

After collecting three identical chapters, it can be combined to form the "Minor Phaseless Art". Mid-level Earth-ranked skill uses one’s body to imitate others. After perfecting skill, the imitated skill will have 40% of the original’s power!

After collecting six identical chapters, it can be combined to form the "Phaseless Magic". High-level Sky-ranked skill, uses one’s body to imitate others. After perfecting skill, the imitated skill will have 80% of the original’s power!

...

"Wow, damn! This Phaseless Magic defies natural order. It’s able to imitate the opponent’s skills and have 80% of its power. It’s definitely comparable to the ‘Battle’ Secret Character from the Nine-Characters Secret." Xu Que was shocked.

In the Nine-Characters Secret, the ‘Battle’ Secret Character, was similarly a high-level Sky-ranked skill book. It had the same function of being able to imitate skill from others but after mastering it, the power from the imitated skill would be even stronger than the original skill itself.

It’s a pity that the ‘Battle’ Secret Character was very difficult to obtain. The rate of acquiring it was seven to one. Xu Que did not have too much act tough points presently and definitely did not have the capacity to gamble for it!

Therefore, with the hidden task reward that the system had given, Xu Que was overjoyed. It was definitely a tool to act tough!

"Phaseless Faction, here I come!"

Xu Que laughed out loudly and quickly advanced towards the Phaseless Faction.

But as he turned around, he saw a pile of frozen corpses. Behind them was a chubby piece of flesh crawling on his stomach.

Whoah! That’s a human!

"Get up, don’t hide. With your mesmerizing, chiseled figure, there’s no use hiding anywhere. Don’t think I can’t see you." Xu Que quickly walked over and kicked his buttocks as he coldly sneered.

The chubby man’s reaction was quick and immediately crawled up and hugged Xu Que’s thigh before he sullenly pleaded, "Master, master, please spare me! I have a big family to take care of and I’ve not done any bad deeds..."

Xu Que was elated. He recognized this chubby man. He was the one behind the group to jeer, "Whoever runs is a pussy" before the fight started. Who knew that such a thick-skinned person is calling him Master. It seemed as if he was admitting that he was a pussy.

"You fat piece of grease. You are quite smart aren’t you? How did you manage to dodge my flame?" Xu Que was curious.

The chubby man bitterly replied, "I... I’ve stolen some Minor Phaseless Art, so... I used the lightning move you used to dodge your skill."

"Hmm, not bad. Stand up. I won’t kill you for now. You better lead the way." Xu Que laughed and replied.

The chubby man froze in his tracks and nervously asked, "To... To where?"

"To Phaseless Faction, to kill all of your people!"

A chill was sent down the chubby man’s spine. He opened his mouth and immediately cried out, "Alright! I will quickly lead the way and let you kill the whole Faction. I’ve not been fond of those bunch of old people since the beginning."

Xu Que laughed loudly but didn’t speak. The disciples of the Phaseless Faction all had similar personalities. They would run if the situation was bad for them and would take advantage of any situation to make themselves better off.
