Jiang Nan’s little brain was buzzing!
Could the system’s prizes get any more reliable?
I use a sword!
I finally managed to max out my swordsmanship to grandmaster level!
And now you give me three hundred Holy Spring Onion Swords?
You can use a spring onion as a sword?
And it’s just a consolation prize? Jiang Nan had a faint, ominous feeling!
He quickly checked the item description in the system panel.
A long list of effects instantly shocked him!
[Holy Spring Onion Sword!]
Effect: Must be infused with spiritual energy to use! Cuts iron like mud! Splits hairs on contact!
Special self-sacrificing skill: Spring Onion Sword Aura!
100% critical hit!
Catastrophic damage! Heaven-shattering, earth-destroying!
One swing of the onion, and everything is bullshit!
Insanely powerful!
Wherever my onion points, all enemies before me shall perish!
Had I not been born, the way of the sword would remain in eternal darkness for millennia! Onion, come forth!
Note: The self-sacrificing skill requires full spiritual energy infusion. After use, the onion sword turns into chopped spring onion! Use with extreme caution!
Comes with a complete set of [Spring Onion Swordsmanship]!
Must be used together with the incantation!
Jiang Nan: !!!
The system literally hyped this thing to the heavens!
The Holy Spring Onion Sword is this ferocious?
Damage that can destroy heaven and earth?
This is really just a consolation prize?
It even comes with a full sword style? And an incantation?
Jiang Nan’s heart raced!
His Tang sword had snapped, and he had no decent weapon left!
This Holy Spring Onion Sword looked seriously strong!
He immediately pulled one out!
The onion was 1.2 metres long! The top half was green leaves, forked like crazy!
The lower grip part was pure white onion bulb!
As thick as a rolling pin!
Jiang Nan’s eyes nearly popped out!
Holy crap! Can spring onions even grow this big?
Did it grow up drinking fertiliser?
At that moment, Xia Yao, Rabbit Baby and the others were completely baffled!
Why did Xiao Nan suddenly whip out a giant spring onion while running?
Jiang Nan had no time to think about side effects!
The system description was just too tempting!
Gripping the Holy Spring Onion Sword, he poured spiritual energy straight in!
Boom!
The onion exploded into a cloud of chopped green onion!
Jiang Nan: ???
Didn’t it say to infuse spiritual energy?
Why did it explode?
Was my infusion method wrong?
So he pulled out another Holy Spring Onion Sword and infused again!
Boom!
Exploded again!
Jiang Nan’s face turned black. He pulled out a third one, opened his mouth and crunched a big bite!
A sharp, spicy-sweet flavour spread across his tongue!
His face went completely dark!
This is just a bloody spring onion! What Holy Sword?
The taste is exactly the same! You’re telling me this can cut people?
“You tricked me again! What infinite-power Holy Spring Onion Sword? Broken system! Give me back my resentment points!”
[…]
[This consolation prize requires the incantation and sword style to be used together!]
[Please feel it carefully, host! Become one with the onion!]
Jiang Nan pouted at the half-eaten onion in his hand, utterly speechless!
Become one with the onion? Are you kidding me?
How do I become one?
Shove it up my arse?
All I know is that’s supposed to cure colds!
He was still hesitating whether to actually try becoming one with the onion when a chant suddenly appeared in his mind!
[Skill triggered! Spring Onion Swordsmanship: LV0!]
[Add skill points?]
Jiang Nan’s eyes lit up!
There really is a chant and sword style?
What was there to hesitate about? He had 1.13 million skill points!
Max it!
[Adding skill points: 1,111,100!]
[Skill upgraded! Spring Onion Swordsmanship (Grandmaster): MAX!]
Over a million skill points slammed in!
Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced → Master → Grandmaster!
Straight to the absolute peak!
That’s just how rich he was!
Countless techniques and knowledge flooded into Jiang Nan’s mind!
In an instant, the smile on his face froze. He turned green with rage!
What kind of garbage Spring Onion Swordsmanship is this? Those shameful poses, that ridiculous footwork!
Ugh~
What the hell did I just spend over a million skill points learning?
He checked the so-called “incantation” again!
“Pfft!”
He almost spat blood all over the floor!
How am I supposed to use this?
I have dignity!
Furious, Jiang Nan grabbed the onion, crunched three massive bites, threw it on the ground and stomped it furiously!
“Aaaaaargh! Bastard!”
Tears of regret streamed down his face!
Xia Yao and Rabbit Baby jumped in fright!
Why did Xiao Nan suddenly lose it?
Xia Yao looked worried, grabbed his hand and gently wiped his tears. “Xiao Nan, don’t cry! We’ll definitely rescue Xuexue!”
Rabbit Baby nodded hard. “Yeah! Don’t give up on yourself! Spit out the onion! Eating that much onion isn’t good…”
Jiang Nan clenched his teeth!
Cannot use! Absolutely cannot use!
At least he still had 18 bottles of Deadly Big Green Stick to soothe his wounded soul!
…
Group 2 Orange Cat temporary camp!
A small valley beneath a cliff face!
An earth-ability user had hollowed out most of the cliff, using stone pillars as bars to form a prison!
Eighty-seven bruised and battered little mice were locked inside!
All of them looked dejected, bound tightly in spirit-binding handcuffs!
Outside the prison, two old cats kept constant watch to stop any tricks!
Four more stood guard around the perimeter, while two rested in the camp!
Twenty per group, eight stayed to guard the camp!
The other twelve were out hunting mice!
Inside the prison, Zhong Yingxue, Wu Liang and the others were all locked up!
Zhong Yingxue was chained to a stone pillar, knife wounds on her waist and thigh!
Blood had soaked her clothes, pooling on the ground. Her face was deathly pale!
Ning Youyou was also chained by the wrists but knelt to press her knees against Zhong Yingxue’s wounds to stop the bleeding!
Her face still had tear stains!
Wu Liang was covered in wounds, looking like a bloody gourd, but he ignored it. His face was pure anxiety!
He shouted outwards, “Senior! Can you give us a first-aid kit to stop her bleeding? She’s running a fever! If…”
The crew-cut youth guarding the prison glanced at Zhong Yingxue. “Tough it out! She won’t die. Can’t handle a little injury like this? What kind of Pioneer are you?”
Wu Liang’s forehead veins bulged. “I’m begging you, alright? She’s lost too much blood!”
The crew-cut youth snapped impatiently, “I said tough it out! Stop whining! Not like I’m heartless. We all went through the same thing back then!”
The long-haired youth beside him grinned. “Tell you what! You’re tough, right? Always mouthing off, right?”
“Come out here! Use that taunt skill of yours! Be our punching bag for three minutes! If you’re still standing after that, I’ll give you a first-aid kit!”
“Of course, just one! You decide who gets it!”
Wu Liang gritted his teeth. “Fine! Three minutes, you said!”
He stood up. The crew-cut youth got interested too!
Zhong Yingxue bit her lip hard. “Big guy! Sit down! I’m fine! I won’t die!”
Wu Liang said urgently, “Sister Xue, just let me do it! Three minutes, I can take it! It’s just a beating! You…”
Zhong Yingxue shook her head firmly. “No going! Xiao Nan isn’t here, you listen to me!”
How could she bear to watch Wu Liang get beaten for her?
Wu Liang’s eyes were red. “Sister Xue! Nan isn’t here! I’m the team’s tank! My job is to protect my teammates! No matter when!”
“Unlock me!”
Zhong Yingxue panicked. “Wu Liang! Don’t go, you…”
At that moment, Lin Chen, who had stayed at the camp, stepped forward and sneered. “Want a first-aid kit just for taking a beating? Dream on!”
Wu Liang clenched his teeth, rage boiling inside!
Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Zhong Yingxue. He looked down at her arrogantly. “Aren’t you the ice queen? Aren’t you too good for us?”
“Aren’t you Jiang Nan’s girl? Where is he to save you?”
“Want the first-aid kit? Sure! Get on your knees and beg me!”
Zhong Yingxue stared at him coldly. “Piss off!”
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes. “Alright! Still hard-headed! Drag her out!”
Just then, one of the orange cats on lookout ran over. “Brother Chen! The Witch is here with people!”
Lin Chen froze. “The Witch? Liuli?”
