Chapter 165: Divine Sword Control Thunder True Art! (1/4)

Looking at the rows of prices on the small blackboard, each costing at least several spirit crystals, the crowd had initially thought everything in this shop was prohibitively expensive. Who would have guessed there was actually something free?!

And a new release at that?!

They had all gathered information about this shop before coming; they were well-aware of the rules regarding virtual reality, cultivation enhancement, and the like, so they were filled with anticipation for these miraculous games.

It was just that they currently had no idea how long they would have to wait in line. Being unable to play made them incredibly frustrated!

The livestream at this moment felt exactly like someone handing over a cup of iced plum syrup when one was parched on a scorching summer day—it was pure bliss!

"Look! What is this *Jade Dynasty*, to deserve such a high recommendation from the owner?!"

The disciples from several major academies, along with the Eldest Princess and others, some sitting and some standing, began to watch *Jade Dynasty* playing on the big screen.

Unlike normal viewing, unlocking the livestream privilege only granted access to the first and second episodes.

It was not like normal viewing where four episodes could be watched consecutively.

"A biographical novel where you can experience real scenes...?" Over on this side, Ye Xiaoye, who was already an experienced customer, was sharing her knowledge, and many newcomers nearby pricked up their ears to listen.

"The spells and sword techniques inside can all be observed and learned?"

"And there are experts fighting each other, particularly brilliant?"

These fragmented words reached everyone's ears, making them perk up even more!

"We must watch closely! Learn well!" After all, a large majority of these newcomers were disciples from the other two major academies!

They had learned their lesson from the recent national examination; they were here to study seriously!

Soon, they witnessed the scene of Daoist Qing Ye completely annihilating the formidable enemies!

"Though Daoist Qing Ye has not yet truly become an immortal, his cultivation has truly reached the absolute pinnacle!"

"Focus on watching! No more talking!" Liang Heihu spoke in a deep voice. As one of the people closest to the Vice Palace Master in the Shengjing Academy, he was currently sitting up straight. Although separated by a screen, he could still feel that exquisite, peerless swordplay and Daoist magic. A strike from such a powerful master was extremely rare to behold in daily life!

"This Daoist Qing Ye doesn't seem to have used his full strength yet. I wonder what realm he would reach once he truly exerts himself!" Nalan Hongwu did not get his fill after watching it once, so he simply followed along to watch it again, offering commentary along the way.

"Even you cannot judge it accurately?!" The Eldest Princess beside him was shocked beyond measure. Although she knew the master on the big screen had an extremely high cultivation, one had to realize that Nalan Hongwu's strength ranked among the very top in the entire Great Jin Kingdom. To think that even he could not judge it accurately?!

Immediately, she began to watch even more intently.

Had it been in the past, they would never have even imagined that they could be so interested in something resembling a biographical novel!

"These two brats are the protagonists? They're actually just two commoners?" At this time, the elite disciples of the Xiyi Academy were all gathered together. Ying Zongxuan stared at the screen, "Could there be some miraculous secret method that can allow these two commoner boys to also reach the pinnacle in the future?"

"No wonder I lost to that commoner warrior that day!" Ying Zongxuan thought to himself, "I want to see exactly what kind of miracle this is! To actually be able to bring about such a fate-altering change!"

"Owner, give me a bottle of that new Coke thing!" Just at this moment, Song Qingfeng shouted.

"Owner, I want a bottle too." Nalan Mingxue also spoke up for a bottle.

Soon, the disciples of the Lingyun Academy each wanted a bottle of Coke, and some bought a container of Häagen-Dazs along the way. This peaceful and tranquil plot of Caomiao Village was just perfect for eating snacks while watching.

Not just Song Qingfeng and the others, but some newly arrived disciples of the Liuyun Daoist Palace or the Yunhai Sect also began to pull out money to buy Coke one after another.

"They all bought Coke and Häagen-Dazs?" Luo Yun doubted, "Could it be that drinking a bottle of Coke at this time holds some hidden mystery? Could it allow a better comprehension of the sword techniques and spells within?"

"It is possible!" Ying Zongxuan said, "Owner, we want a bottle of Coke too!"

"Everyone wants Coke?" Huangfu Jing, Xiao Lengyu, and others from the Shengjing Academy were not to be outdone either, "Owner, we want Coke too, and Häagen-Dazs!"

In just this short while, the revenue in Fang Qi's shop skyrocketed!

Seeing so many people drinking Coke and eating Häagen-Dazs, Jiang Xiaoyue immediately stamped her feet in anxiety: "Oh no! Why did I spend all my money?! Now I can't buy any..."

"Xiaoyue." Fang Qi took out a discount coupon at this time, "Because your recent performance has been good, you are rewarded with a five-spirit-crystal discount coupon. It can be used for a free purchase in this shop, though of course, it must be within five spirit crystals."

"Wow—!" Jiang Xiaoyue took the discount coupon with both hands, filled with pleasant surprise, "I can eat Häagen-Dazs?!"

"Thank you, Owner!" Jiang Xiaoyue cheered and hurriedly went to buy Häagen-Dazs.

Soon, the sounds echoed in the internet cafe:

"Gulp, gulp! This Coke is too delicious!"

"Mmh—! This Häagen-Dazs is simply... I have never eaten anything so delicious!"

"..."

As for what hidden mystery there was...?

Maybe there was... one?

"Forget it, it's just too delicious anyway!" Everyone happily watched *Jade Dynasty* while drinking Coke and eating Häagen-Dazs!

As the plot advanced, they soon saw Lin Jingyu being abducted by the man in black, who was disguised by Cang Song.

On the screen, in the sky, dark clouds gathered densely. The decisive battle between contemporary masters like Cang Song and Pu Zhi likewise left everyone watching in thrills and excitement.

One was one of the holy monks of the Tianyin Temple, and the other was a master of Qingyun Peak who also practiced heresy!

Not to mention that although this world had cultivators similar to Buddhists, they were extremely rare. Seeing Pu Zhi's divine powers and spells, everyone similarly found it novel and incredibly powerful.

At this time, the battle between the two had reached a white-hot stage. On the screen, the man in black, Cang Song, held a sword hand-seal, his feet treading the Seven Stars: "Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, transform into divine lightning. Awe-inspiring heavenly might, guide it with the sword!"

What kind of sword technique was this?! To actually be able to draw heavenly might into a sword?!

Dark clouds churned and wild winds roared. Everyone present was both terrified and incomparably excited by what they saw on the spot!

"Divine Sword Lightning Controlling True Spell?!" In the screen, lightning flashed, reflecting Pu Zhi's gaunt face, which was likewise filled with utter terror!

"Divine Sword Lightning Controlling True Spell?!"

Everyone present also cried out in astonishment!

To think there was such a sword technique?! One had to know that although this world had powerhouses whose creations joined nature and could summon heavenly might, their cultivation had to reach an extremely terrifying realm for that to happen!

Who could have guessed that someone in here could actually draw down heavenly might using a sword technique?!

"How can there still be such a sword style in this world?!" For a moment, their hearts were all filled with boundless shock!

And what made them feel even more excited was the rumor that the sword styles and techniques within could be learned?!

It was unknown what identity this man in black held, but if they could also learn such a powerful sword technique from it...

Just thinking about these matters was simply too exhilarating!
