Chapter 47 How dare you insult me?
"Ding! Under the guidance and protection of the Jade of the Pivot, you have discovered the fifth level of the Myriad Realms beneath Lion Cliff."
With the system notification sound, Lu Chao's vision lit up, and he saw a cave in front of him. Clearly, the cave led to the fifth level of the Linglang Secret Realm.
"This fifth level seems to be independent and not connected to the first four levels?"
Lu Chaoding immediately began his exploration, and a moment later, he "saw a ghost" inside the cave's stone chamber.
It was a white skeleton dressed in tattered clothes, carrying a black longsword. It was sitting cross-legged at first, but as soon as Lu Chaoding entered the stone chamber, it stood up. When Lu Chaoding retreated, it stood still.

"Good heavens, could this Question Mark Sword Demon be Ye Linlang in disguise? With over 2400 attack power, if it unleashes a skill, it could probably kill me instantly!"
Lu Chao muttered something to himself as he glanced at his current attribute information.

After a moment's thought, Lu Chao rode his tiger and wielded his sword, decisively charging towards the Question Mark Sword Demon. Upon approaching, he slashed horizontally with his broadsword, gaining the initiative, and then entered the battle space.
At this point, the Question Mark Sword Demon still has 11933 health and 3 tenacity.
Lu Chao swallowed a Vigor Pill, raising his battle spirit to 10. At the start of his turn, he immediately used his ultimate skill, [Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon]!
"Woohoo!"
The golden dragon roared and raged through the battle space, knocking the question mark skull into four consecutive sit-ups before damage numbers appeared above its head.
"-2481, Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Refinement!"
"Toughness broken, -1512!"
"-1996, Flame Explosion!"
"-6289, secondary explosion!"
Total damage 12278, 345 overflow, instant kill!
The Question Mark Sword Demon knelt down, leaning on his sword. With a clang, the sword broke, and the skeleton immediately disintegrated, turning back into light, which then condensed into a treasure chest!
"One-hit kill, awesome!"
Lu Chao laughed heartily, stepped forward to collect the spoils of war, opened the treasure chest lid, and with a flash of light, three items appeared.
The first item is a fist-sized piece of blue jade called [Mysterious Gold Jade], a three-star material.
The second item is a three-star combat skill book. The combat skill is called "Heart-Piercing Sword," which is exclusive to the Sword Saint. The effect of LV1 is to launch a 100% critical hit main weapon attack after use and reduce the target's toughness by two points.
The third item was a seated skeleton, which was: [Ye Linlang's skeleton].
Lu Chao took out Ye Linlang's remains and chopped them a few times with his broadsword. He discovered that the object could not be separated and was a bound quest item.
"You unreliable system, come out here and tell me where to find the remaining nine skeletons!"
Lu Chao shouted, but naturally received no response.
He reluctantly put away Ye Linlang's remains, and then took out two other items from the treasure chest.
He can't use the [Heart-Piercing Sword] skill book, but he can sell it for money.
【Mysterious Gold Jade】is the refining material for the Great Mysterious Sword. Lu Chao used it on the spot. With a clang, the Great Mysterious Sword flashed with light and the refining was successful. Its attributes became: "Attack Power +90, Weapon Damage Increase 15%, Speed -15".
"The attack power has increased. Ah, if only this Great Xuan Sword didn't reduce speed!"
Lu Chaoding thought that the 15% damage increase trait was pretty good. If it were applied to [Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon], it could also increase the damage.
However, for now, it's more appropriate to use this Great Xuan Sword as a "flying sword," and there's no rush to make it the main weapon.
Lu Chaoding searched the cave again carefully. There were no traps, no secret rooms, no hidden treasure chests, and no second set of Ye Linlang's remains. There was only one exit. He stepped in, and his vision went from dark to light, and he was back at Lion Cliff.
Unwilling to give up, Lu Chao jumped off the cliff again and arrived at the fifth level of Linlang Cave. However, this was not a dungeon and did not refresh. It was empty and there was no more Sword Ghost.
"Where are we going to get ten sets of skeletons...?"
Lu Chao shook his head, then suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.
However, since this idea was impossible to realize now, Lu Chaoding stopped thinking about it. He rode a tiger, wielded a sword and wielded a large knife, and played all night. At five o'clock in the morning, he stopped hunting and returned to his cave to rest for a while.
At six o'clock, Lu Chao arrived at the mountaintop camp on time. He had used some cultivation tips earlier and his level had now reached level 14!
"The loot this night was so-so, I didn't get anything good..."
Lu Chaoding muttered to himself.
Not far away, Niu Daren had already started clapping. He called out, "Junior brothers and sisters, today is the last day of the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament! I hope you can show your true strength! Look! Today's rewards have appeared!"
A ball of light descended from the sky, and the question mark inside shattered, revealing a purple rune.
"It's a fourth-tier Heavenly Path Breakthrough Talisman!" Niu Daren shouted. "This treasure is amazing! It can directly raise your level by one, up to a maximum of 41! Do you know how much cultivation it takes to go from level 40 to level 41? Let me tell you, it takes a full 100 million! The elders actually brought out such a treasure! Junior brothers and sisters, cheer up! If you don't use your ultimate moves, I'll keep this Heavenly Path Breakthrough Talisman."
Lu Chao looked up at the [Heavenly Journey Breakthrough Talisman]. He couldn't see the specific attributes of this thing, but after hearing what Niu Daren said, he couldn't help but be tempted.
"If we use this at level 40, we can gain 100 million cultivation points! That's equivalent to two or three hundred thousand Qi Cultivation Pills! Missing this opportunity would be a huge loss!"
Lu Chaoding pondered silently, then received a system notification: "Ding, automatically receive the quest [Day 3 of the Sword Tournament]. Quest description: Participate in the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament, defeat other players and Niu Daren to obtain a four-star [Heavenly Journey Breakthrough Talisman]!"
"Ding! The Occasionally Unreliable System has been activated, updating the tracking mission with altered content: Do not participate in the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament, and do not be defeated by other players or Niu Daren. You will receive a four-star [Unreliable Skywalking Breakthrough Talisman]."
"Huh, they're not letting me participate in the sword duel anymore? That's easy enough? What the hell is this 'Unreliable [Heavenly Path Breakthrough Talisman]'? Is it some kind of tampered version of the Unreliable Lottery Ticket?"
After a moment's thought, Lu Chaoding rode a tiger and flew down the mountain on his sword.
The Lion Rock Sword Tournament ends when the time is up; once you leave the summit, you can naturally choose not to participate.
Lu Chao's departure left Zhao Weike and the others puzzled.
"Where is Ding Ge going?"
"It looks like he's going down the mountain!"
"Is Ding-ge no longer participating in the swordplay competition?"
"Hahaha, it's good that this idiot is gone. Without him, we can compete fairly."
"Zhao is so smug!"
"Of course! He still owes money. If Brother Ding doesn't leave, he'll definitely be the first one to get his hands on!"
"Hahahaha, you big idiot, Top Bro, the program malfunctioned again, what a waste of all those amazing treasures!"
Of the seven players, Zhao Weike was undoubtedly the happiest at this moment, and he shouted loudly.
At this moment, Lu Chaoding had already left the camp more than 20 meters away, but he could still clearly hear Zhao Weike's voice. He silently changed into his tattered burlap sack and, just as the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament was about to begin, circled back from behind Zhao Weike.
Then, taking advantage of Zhao Weike's inattention, Lu Chaoding quickly stepped forward, put the hood over his head, kicked him down, tied it up, rode a tiger, carried a sword, and left with a sack on his back!
The entire sequence of movements was fluid and graceful.
About a minute later, Zhao Weike fell out of the tattered sack. This time he didn't die from the fall. He slumped onto the grass, cursing, "Lu Chaoding, you big idiot..."
Lu Chao rode a tiger and flew up to him on his sword, his face cold as he said, "Do you think I'm deaf? That I can't hear you?"
"Huh?" Zhao Weike was taken aback.
Lu Chao raised his large black knife and shouted, "Zhao Weike, how dare you insult me!"
After saying that, Lu Chao slashed Zhao Weike on the forehead with his sword. He didn't kill him, but he entered the battle space with Zhao Weike.
One minute later, Lu Chaoding returned to the Great World, while Zhao Weike went down the mountain to the Sword Stele to be resurrected.
Meanwhile, the sword duel at the mountaintop camp had already begun.
"Zhao Qunzi, it's not that I want to bully you, it's just that you're asking for it. I'm tough, not stupid. You insulted me to my face, do you think I wouldn't chop you up!"
Lu Chao flicked his sleeves and turned back to the mountaintop.
