Chapter 40 - 40 40 Legendary Items

40: Chapter 40: Legendary Items 40: Chapter 40: Legendary Items Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night—literally sleepless.

Zhang Xiaoman tossed and turned in bed for several hours but couldn’t fall asleep.

It wasn’t because of the excitement of winning a huge amount of money that kept him awake.

On the contrary, as a Sleep King Level expert, he could fall asleep whenever he wanted to, even in a KTV private room blaring “Even If I Die, I Must Love”.

But tonight was different.

Zhang Xiaoman felt energetically vibrant, as if he had just awakened from a centuries-long slumber, brimming with an abundance of energy.

He sat up in bed, scratched his head vigorously, and finally figured out the reason.

“Who would’ve thought that absorbing energy could substitute for sleep?

It looks like I won’t need to sleep anymore…”

He didn’t know whether to be happy or depressed.

Suddenly losing such a significant pleasure in life, he found it difficult to adapt for a while.

Checking the time, it was already past 3 AM.

Dawn was upon him, so Zhang Xiaoman simply got dressed and got up.

While pouring a glass of water in the living room, he opened the system interface, deciding to use today’s lottery draw.

He reached out and clicked the lottery draw button.

After so many draws, Zhang Xiaoman had managed to stay relatively calm and collected.

As he casually withdrew his hand, a familiar spatial distortion followed, and the living room was suddenly filled with a splendid orange glow, an ancient and profound aura rushing forth.

“Orange light?

Hmm…

ORANGE LIGHT!!!?”

Zhang Xiaoman’s action of drinking water became too vigorous, and he ended up dousing himself with water.

He didn’t care about anything else and quickly looked at the prompt that popped up on the system interface.

“Congratulations, you have obtained a Legendary item—Skill Big Gift Pack.”

The transfer from the space completed, and an orange gift box fell out, landing silently on the floor as if weightless.

“Holy shit!!

A Legendary item!!”

After realizing what had happened, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.

He immediately untied the string around the box and flung open the lid.

As he did so, numerous Skill Light Balls of varying sizes popped out of the box, scattering all over the living room floor.

“One, two, three, four…

nine, ten!”

Zhang Xiaoman counted all the skills, and there were ten in total!

He then picked up the Light Balls from the floor and arranged them.

The numerous Skill Light Balls were, from small to large, in green, blue, purple, and orange.

Of these, there were five green Light Balls, three blue ones, one purple, and one orange.

Zhang Xiaoman’s gaze was subconsciously drawn to the largest orange Light Ball.

His eyes lingered on it for a moment before an attribute panel emerged.

[Following the Way of Heaven]

—Expel evil with Heavenly steps, Ascending Sword Absolute Saint Formation.

—To practice this skill, one must first become a eunuch.

“What the hell is this…?”

Staring at the brief system introduction, Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes widened.

“Can someone tell me…

what the hell is the meaning of the sentence below…?”

“The Kuihua Manual?”

A darkness fell before Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes.

A bad premonition suddenly surfaced in his mind.

What kind of gift pack did I actually draw…

After a long while, he came to his senses, grabbed the orange Light Ball from the ground, and began squeezing it with disbelief.

“Maybe, just maybe, that last sentence from the system is just for show…”

He tried to reassure himself.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he squeezed, the Light Ball remained intact.

“Could it be that the system is serious about this…?”

Zhang Xiaoman felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart.

He then tried every possible method to break the Light Ball, but it was as if it had made up its mind to be unyielding; no matter how much he abused it, it wouldn’t give in.

Finally, Zhang Xiaoman stopped, feeling somewhat deflated.

At this moment, his mother was also disturbed by the noise and walked out of the room, her eyes bleary from sleep.

“Zhang Xiaoman, what are you doing?

It’s so late and you’re not sleeping.”

Zhang Xiaoman saw the opportunity and had an idea, so he handed the Skill Light Ball to his mother to see if she could try to crush it.

His mother, looking utterly confused, took the Light Ball and squeezed it hard in her hand, but just like Zhang Xiaoman, she also couldn’t crush the Light Ball.

“This… Could it be that only a eunuch can do it?” Zhang Xiaoman took back the Light Ball from his mother and muttered dejectedly, “But we don’t have a eunuch in our family…”

Just then, the dog Jin Bao trotted out of its kennel, seemingly headed to the bathroom for a drink of water.

Zhang Xiaoman’s gaze involuntarily fell upon it.

“Mom, I remember, didn’t Jin Bao get his balls cut off?” he asked.

His mother nodded.

Jin Bao, seeing his master staring at him with a strange expression, couldn’t help but shiver.

“Woof?”

His dog face was full of bewilderment and innocence.

“Jin Bao, come here.”

Zhang Xiaoman waved toward the dog.

Jin Bao seemed to sense something and started to back away.

With a sigh of resignation, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly smiled and said, “Jin Bao, let’s go, we’re going out to play!”

Upon hearing the words “going out,” Jin Bao instantly pricked up his ears and wagged his tail vigorously, running over with a “huffing and puffing” sound.

Zhang Xiaoman quickly extended his hand and slapped the Skill Light Ball onto its body.

The Light Ball shattered upon impact with Jin Bao, turning into a sky full of orange specks, like stars filling the night sky, both beautiful and intoxicating.

The next moment, all of the orange stars converged on Jin Bao, instantly merging into his body.

Startled by the commotion, Jin Bao stretched his neck and barked several times, as if to say “Stay away.”

Once he had absorbed the Skill, Zhang Xiaoman then focused his gaze on his pet dog, and the dog’s attribute panel appeared in his eyes.

Jin Bao

Skills:

[Following the Way of Heaven]

————————

“As expected, this Skill can only be used by eunuchs…”

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the shimmering orange Skill, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart.

He tapped on the name, Following the Way of Heaven, and the detailed information about the Skill then appeared before his eyes.

[Following the Way of Heaven]

It is said that this move comes from the Sunflower Refining God Skill, which was later obtained and improved by a predecessor of the Mount Hua Sword Heart, greatly increasing its power, but it can be cultivated only under certain conditions.

Usage effect: Absorbs all surrounding Sword Array enhancement effects; cannot be stacked

Energy consumption: None

Range: 500-meter radius

Duration: 1 minute

Cooling time: 24 hours

——Ascending Sword Absolute Saint Formation.

“Hm?

Is this the Legendary level Ability?

What does it mean by ‘Sword Array’ mentioned in there?”

Zhang Xiaoman was a bit puzzled after reading the Skill description.

The Skill didn’t seem very powerful based on its attributes.

The cooling time was a day, and it lasted only a minute.

He didn’t even know what the so-called Sword Array was.

Zhang Xiaoman described this Ability to his mother, as others couldn’t see the attribute panel, only the host could see these things.

After listening to his description, his mother furrowed her brows in thought for a moment, then suddenly pointed at the Skill Light Balls on the ground and said:

“Xiao Man, do you think the Sword Array might be those things on the ground?”

Zhang Xiaoman was startled and instantly came back to his senses.

“Right!

I almost forgot about it.

These Skills all came from the same Gift Pack, so they should be a set!

Maybe the Sword Array is in here!”

After saying that, he looked down at the little Light Balls on the ground, observing their attributes.
