#420 - Chapter 419: Jade Slips for Transmitting Power

"Take this!"

Just as he spread his wings, Qi Jing heard Xiao Shiwu's words and caught something he threw down from his flying sword.

It was a piece of jade!

Though called a jade slip, it was actually a jade pendant.

"This is a skill-transfer jade slip I tinkered with this afternoon. It allows people to experience the feelings I imprinted within, thereby learning some techniques.

The jade slip in your hand can temporarily grant you my experience in controlling a sword, allowing you to learn swordsmanship faster. However, it consumes a bit of mental energy when used, so be mindful of that."

"Thanks, Brother Xiao, I'm off."

Qi Jing instantly changed into his battle suit, took out his umbrella sword, and flew towards the big tree beneath his feet.

Xiao Shiwu watched from above, picking up the wine pot at his waist and taking a drink.

Skill-transfer jade slips are great. They save me the trouble of teaching hand-to-hand, which is very convenient.

But skill-transfer jade slips are also bad. They'll make me even more tired in the future.

But so what? It's not like this body is getting tired. Drink up, drink up.

Qi Jing no longer looked at Xiao Shiwu in the sky; his mind was entirely focused on the Little Ape camp below.

Apart from the Little Ape's main camp, their dwellings, like Big Bear's, were inside tree holes, and the number of Little Apes depended on the size of the tree hole.

So, the number of Little Apes in an area could be determined by the number and size of the tree holes.

This small camp probably only had forty or fifty Little Apes, likely the wives and children of some peripheral elder.

Hunting Step One:

Intelligence Analysis, Complete!

Hunting Step Two:

Terrain Reconnaissance, Omitted!

Hunting Step Three:

Prey Reconnaissance, Omitted!

Begin Execution!

Logically, hunting should begin only after the distribution and movements of the Little Apes have been fully detected using instruments, but Qi Jing didn't need that.

Even if he woke up all the Little Apes here, he could handle it!

However, tonight's purpose was to practice swordsmanship, so he still had to deal with the Little Ape sentries first.

Qi Jing took out the skill-transfer jade slip Xiao Shiwu had given him earlier and held it in his hand, then froze.

Didn't he forget to say how to use it?

Should I fly up and ask?

Forget it, forget it, I'll figure it out myself.

First, I'll try injecting some source energy like other source energy products.

weng~ (Qi Jing provided the sound effect for his source energy output in his mind)

Doesn't work.

I'll try using mental energy instead.

As soon as Qi Jing probed his mental energy into the jade pendant, he felt a daze, as if he wasn't himself.

He suddenly felt that his brain had a lot of strange things.

How to make a short sword perform like a long sword, how to avoid wasting any force with each sword strike, how to make the sword stab deeper, how to make the sword move on its own...

Qi Jing now felt like a sword master!

He felt that when he used this knowledge on his umbrella sword, he would be able to control it perfectly, without the slightest deviation.

But reality wasn't like that.

Qi Jing tried it, shooting his umbrella sword at the fruit on the opposite tree. It did hit, but the speed and power of the umbrella sword were completely different. It was very awkward to use.

Like switching from iron chopsticks to bamboo chopsticks, very uncomfortable.

Could it be because the umbrella sword is thinner and lighter than the sword in the knowledge?

After discovering the blind spot, Qi Jing changed the size of the umbrella sword to the size of the sword in the knowledge. Although the weight couldn't be changed, he found it much easier to use.

Good heavens, is this the difference between a textbook and a real object?

Fortunately, my umbrella sword can change size, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable.

In the next minute, Qi Jing opened a hole in all the fruits of the opposite tree, letting him understand the use of this skill-transfer jade slip.

Simply put, it's a master experience card, allowing you to directly use the knowledge and skills instilled within, perfect for cheating on exams.

But it has a big flaw: the differences in the body, weapon, and other factors between the knowledge instiller and the user will make the user feel very awkward and uncomfortable, causing mistakes every time it's used.

Moreover, when the skill-transfer jade slip is turned off, the knowledge that poured in will also be forgotten. Just now, I felt like I had learned it, but I hadn't learned it at all.

Like Qi Jing now, he only remembered the feeling of using the flying sword just now, and as for the mental feeling, only a little bit remained.

Therefore, it will make one's judgment in learning worse, making it impossible to judge the learning results.

Qi Jing sighed: It seems that it can't be used for exams. I still have to rely on myself (the cultivation proxy) to learn.

Turning on the skill-transfer jade slip again, Qi Jing tried a minute of flying sword techniques, but when he was about to land, a daze suddenly came from the back of his head.

Insufficient mental energy!

Ah?

Only two minutes, and I'm already out of mental energy?

Qi Jing quickly landed on a branch and disconnected the connection between his mental energy and the skill-transfer jade slip.

He looked at Xiao Shiwu, who was drinking wine and watching short videos on his flying sword above his head, wanting to question him:

Is this called "a bit" of consumption?

It's clearly "very"!

Even my mental energy, which has drunk two bottles of mental energy enhancement potion and is good at using my brain, can only last for two minutes. You're telling me it's "a bit" of consumption?

Damn it, it seems that the plan to use it as a master experience card won't work either.

It consumes too much mental energy. If the battle time is too long, suddenly feeling a daze after running out of mental energy can be fatal.

But fortunately, I have mental energy recovery potions. I must learn all the skills of flying swordsmanship tonight!

Starting with the Little Ape sentries here!

Swish~

Security Guard Number One had his neck slashed by the umbrella sword.

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

Security Guards Number Two, Three, and Four were pierced through by the umbrella sword in one go.

Swish~

The Little Ape playing with its fingers late at night had its brain cut open by the enlarged umbrella sword.

Swish~

The Little Ape tossing and turning in bed from insomnia had the upper half of its head shaved off by the constantly rotating umbrella sword.

Serves you right for not sleeping at night. You're dead now.

But this is also for your own good. When your liver has problems in the future, you'll have a hard time. It's better to die under my sword now and have a peaceful end.

After silently killing all the Little Apes that were still awake, Qi Jing began his slaughter of the Little Apes.

During this time, he learned how to properly control the umbrella sword, greatly improving its accuracy, and also learned how to make it turn, enlarge, shrink, bend, and rotate in fancy ways during flight.

As for how to prevent it from making the sound of friction against the air during flight, he didn't learn that.

Because the umbrella sword comes with "Invisibility" and "Silence", it won't make any sound no matter how it's used, which is very comfortable.

"You're quite ruthless. Not a single Little Ape has its brain still on its neck."

Xiao Shiwu didn't know when he had landed, and he handed Qi Jing another jade pendant:

"This is my close-quarters combat experience from when I was young. I'll give it to you. It can save you most of the time learning close combat and make your force exertion smoother."

Qi Jing asked, "When you were young? What about now?"

"Now, of course, I only use flying swords. Why use close combat if I have ranged attacks? I'm not a brute."
