Book 1 Chapter 40: Research item properties again
“Alright, now I’m going to explain to you the effects of these two daggers. You’ve got to understand and remember them, so that when you use them in combat later, you’ll know exactly what to do.”
Bai Yunfei then carefully explained the effects of the two daggers to Li Chengfeng. After making sure that the latter had understood and remembered them, he put the dagger in his hand away and replaced it with a +8 normal dagger, saying: “Let’s test their effects in detail now. There are still some things I don’t understand. I need to study them more carefully…”
“Oh, then how do we test them?” Li Chengfeng nodded repeatedly and asked expectantly.
“There’s no need to fight or something. We’ll only research its effects. I’ll use this dagger to defend and you’ll attack me with the dagger in your hand. Just do it slowly. You should already understand this, right? I remember when we were testing the brick last time, you quite enjoyed hitting me with it…”
“Ha ha, I already know what to do, let’s get started.” Li Chengfeng laughed in an embarrassed manner and said.
“Yeah, let’s begin.”
Li Chengfeng raised his dagger and slowly brought it down towards Bai Yunfei. Bai Yunfei also raised the dagger in his hand and blocked this ‘attack’ from him.
“Hm, use a little less force. Let’s continue.” Bai Yunfei looked at the nick that had just appeared on the blade because of the collision and warned.
The two daggers then hit each other this way about a dozen times. The dagger in Bai Yunfei’s hand was already full of nicks. After all, the dagger in Li Chengfeng’s hand towered over it in terms of damage.
Another slight sound of collision was heard. Bai Yunfei subconsciously wanted to say “It still hasn’t come, continue.” Only, when he had just opened his mouth and these words had yet to come out of it, everything before his eyes turned black and he could no longer see anything.
“Blinding!” After being stupefied for a second, Bai Yunfei reacted instantly by shouting: “Stop!”
In fact, Li Chengfeng had noticed it as soon as this effect had been activated because at that moment, a strand of his soulforce had flowed into the dagger uncontrollably.
Bai Yunfei did not channel his soulforce to resist. Instead, he carefully experienced this ‘blind’ state. Three seconds passed very quickly. The light reappeared and the world in front of him returned to normal.
“How was it, Yunfei? Just now it was the blinding effect, right?” Seeing that the dagger in Bai Yunfei’s hand had remained unchanged, Li Chengfeng knew that the triggered effect should have been ‘blinding’.
“Yeah, you’re right. It was the blinding effect. The whole world suddenly turned into darkness and I couldn’t see anything, but the other senses were left intact.” Bai Yunfei carefully recalled the feeling just then, “This effect is exceptionally useful. If such a situation suddenly occurs during combat…”
“Let’s continue. We’ll test that ‘severing’ effect now.” Bai Yunfei thought for a while and said.
After another dozen collisions, the moment the two daggers hit each other again, Li Chengfeng had a happy expression, saying: “Here it comes!”
Almost at the same time as he said those words, Bai Yunfei felt his hand lighten. The moment the two daggers had come into contact, there had been no sound of collision at all. The dagger in Li Chengfeng’s hand had completely cut through the dagger used to block by Bai Yunfei at one stroke as if cutting through a piece of tofu.
Li Chengfeng looked at the dagger in his hand then at the fallen half of the blade on the ground in a somewhat stupefied manner and murmured: “This… is the ‘severing’ effect? It cuts through the opponent’s weapon directly?!”
Bai Yunfei looked at the half of the dagger in his hand. The cut surface of the blade was smooth. Obviously the dagger had been cut in half without hindrance.
“This +12 additional effect is really terrifying. Severing… though it’s hard to trigger if the enemy’s weapon is of high-grade, only inheritance items and above can prevent it from being triggered completely.
