Suddenly I felt a peculiar feeling from my back. The Ancient Tablet felt quite warm, almost to the point of scorching hot. I hurriedly took it down and looked at it. I noticed that the experience bar on top of the tablet was almost full – 99.9% filled! Woah, is the secret buried inside the Ancient Tablet finally going to be revealed to this world?!
With the experience from the past, I had to kill high leveled monsters in order to give experience to the Ancient Tablet. Yes, I’ve never thought that the experience had accumulated so much that it was already going to be unsealed. Then I should continue to train, anyway I had nothing much to do in the morning!
Going outside the city, I went straight towards Fire Stone Canyon, arriving about 30 minutes later. Following along the edge of Fire Stone Canyon, I slipped inside and walked further into the depths of the canyon. I walked for around 10 minutes, avoiding various players who were already training there. As I entered a forest deep in the abyss, the number of people around me began to lessen. Finally, a high leveled monster appeared in front of me. It was a type of green colored poisonous snake that climbed between trees, its body almost as big as Ice Rats, around 1.5 meters in length. As its forked tongue slides in and out, it hissed menacingly. There are 7-12 snakes in every tree; they are extremely close together!
【Venomous Viper】: Level 61 Elite Monster, high attack power, low defense, low health.

……
“Keng!”
Pulling out my Frost Rain Sword, I rushed forward immediately. With me being Lv 58, killing a Lv 61 Elite Monster was as easy as one-two-three. Hacking here and there, it died within two strikes but my face was sprayed venom. The Venomous Viper’s attacking power was not fatal, but the poison was extremely troublesome, luckily I had [Heal] to heal myself, otherwise I would have to drink health potions into poverty!
After killing Venomous Vipers for about an hour, my experience has increased by 9%, but the Ancient Tablet was still on the verge of unsealing, with not even a sign of activity!
After killing for another hour, it was almost 12 noon!
“Di!”
My beautiful big boss sent me a message, “Li Xiao Yao, let’s eat lunch!”
“Okay!”
As I was preparing to return, I quickly finished another Venomous Viper with a shake of my arm. Suddenly, the Ancient Tablet on my back started shaking. Moreover, countless bone inscriptions appeared on top of the Ancient Tablet as it broke into pieces in a blink of an eye. Falling totally apart, the countless pieces rose from the ground and formed a mist glowing with 7 colors around me. The next moment, a system announcement bell rung in my ears –
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations, your【Ancient Tablet】has successfully merged with your body. You received an SS-ranked ancient martial arts skill -【Seven Star Fragments Slash】!
……
SS-ranked!!
My brain turned blank for a moment, it was actually an SS-ranked skill, this is too awesome!
I hurriedly open my skills interface. There’s indeed a new skill glowing in a gold luster, an SS-ranked skill, it’s dazzle was incomparable to others. Dammit, after carrying the Ancient Tablet for almost half a month, I finally get to reap the benefits-
【Seven Star Fragments Slash】(SS-ranked): Condense the power of the 7 stars of Ursa Major and release the charge gathered in the sword. It will cause a substantial amount of AOE damage to targets in front. It also has the ability to break buildings that are unbreakable. At level one, it will consume 40 MP and will have a cooldown of 15 seconds!
TL Note: Ursa Major is one of the constellation in the skies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursa_Major
……
I’m on cloud nine!
It’s really an SS-ranked skill, moreover it’s a physical attacking skill! This [Seven Star Fragments Slash] is sufficient to have my strength soar through a whole new level!
I unleashed my skill and after a short moment of charging, a powerful force welled up on my sword. I raised my Frost Rain Sword and pointed it to the sky. At that moment, 7 meteorites streaked across my blade, dispersing into a seven-colored flame. The flames surrounded my sword, encircling it before shooting forward!
“Bang!”
Dust scattered around. Almost 30 meters of effective attack distance, this was too awesome!
