World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others
Chapter 193: Sudden enlightenmentThey will be taken, no doubt!
Impressive skill.
Pity it requires touch. In a world of immortals, it's a bit of a shortcoming.
But with one touch, one theft, it seems one could strip the opponent bare!
However, if combined with the right movement technique, it would be a divine skill for plundering!
And after stripping the target?
What would be taken?
Du Ge instinctively glanced at his junior sister.
Guan Xuan forced a smile and quickly stated, "I understand, Sect Leader Brother, I will change."
Change what?Du Ge then remembered he had just taught her how to rob. He smiled and nodded.
It's better, after all. One person plundering is never as efficient as a whole sect. The Seven Stars Sect is now his, and he must bear all the karma and attributes.
Tossing two chicken feathers to the ground, Du Ge said, "Let's go! Let's bring back Seventh Junior Brother."
"Right, bring him back."
Guan Xuan nodded firmly.
They quickened their pace, passing several servants, and made their way to the mountain gate.
Old Qi, carrying his pack and looking expectant, brightened at the sight of Du Ge and his junior sister, who was carrying Third Senior Brother's pack. "Third Senior Brother, Junior Sister also agrees to leave the mountain."
"Seventh Junior Brother..." Du Ge approached with a smile, then suddenly reached out and snatched the sword from his hand, "Hand it over!"
Caught off guard, Old Qi's sword was taken. He looked bewildered, "Third Senior Brother, what are you doing?"
"What? Teaching you a lesson!" Du Ge glared, "The master's body is not yet cold, and you abandon the sect. Stripping you bare is not too much..."
As he spoke.
Taking advantage of Old Qi's daze, he snatched his pack and even patted him down.
Sure enough.
In addition to the pack, a purse appeared in his hand.
Damn!
It really does take something from the other person!
Du Ge was surprised, followed by elation.
He had touched the shoulder, not knowing where the purse was, yet it mysteriously ended up in his hand.
Handing the pack and purse to his junior sister behind him, Du Ge reached for his outer garment. It wasn't good to experiment on his junior sister, so this traitorous junior brother was the perfect test subject for his skill.
The coat, bound by a belt, wasn't easy to remove.
But with the skill of plucking feathers and the boost of assured theft, Du Ge tore off his outer robe, leaving the belt intact around his waist.
Without specifying a target, it randomly steals from the opponent.
With a target, it forcibly takes their belongings, as long as there's a touch.
Switching the target to a weapon should allow for a guaranteed unarmed disarmament.
Truly a divine skill in the Wuxia world!
But in the world of immortals...
Du Ge's mind flashed with the image of a sword immortal who used Sword Flight to vanish before his eyes. Shaking his head, touching their weapons seemed difficult. He'd need to raise his attributes to the level of the second Simulation Field, where trade had boosted them so high.
Otherwise, the risk was too great.
Of course, one must also be able to fly.
If he managed to steal something but couldn't outrun the others, it would likely be taken back.
Moreover, in this world, cultivators with achievements had a heart-to-heart connection with their magical weapons and artifacts. It was very possible that as soon as he stole them, they would return to their owner with a mere thought.
Movement techniques, cultivation level, methods to erase restrictions...
To perfectly wield the power of this skill, he still lacked many things!
Du Ge pondered the use of his skill while continuing to strip Old Qi of his clothes.
In the blink of an eye, he was left in his undergarments.
Guan Xuan watched, dumbfounded.
Old Qi snapped back to reality, stepped back in annoyance, and said, "Third Senior Brother, have you gone mad? Do you really intend to strip me bare here? We agreed to leave the mountain together..."
Seeing Old Qi nearly stripped of all his clothes, Du Ge felt a bit embarrassed. Alright, he was so focused on verifying his skill that he forgot to be discreet.
Inertia is terrifying!
Must restrain!
This is no longer the Simulation Field; it's the Alien Star Battlefield. Being too conspicuous could be fatal!
Du Ge warned himself inwardly, looking at the flushed Old Qi, and took out the Sect Leader token, "Seventh Junior Brother, times have changed. Before, I was your Third Senior Brother, and naturally, we thought of fleeing when disaster struck.
But now, as the Sect Leader of the Seven Stars Sect, I can't let you ungrateful traitors leave freely. Seventh Junior Brother, the master was as kind to us as a mountain. Don't be stubborn. It's not too late to mend your ways. Don't make another mistake..."
"Sect Leader?" Old Qi looked at the token in Du Ge's hand, bemused, "Third Senior Brother, have you lost your mind? The Seven Stars Sect is nearly gone. What's the use of being Sect Leader? You weren't so muddled before. Give me back my things. If you won't leave, I will."
"You can leave, but you can't take anything from the Seven Stars Sect with you," Du Ge said sternly, "Not even the skills taught by the master. Discard your cultivation, leave behind everything that belongs to the Seven Stars Sect, and I will remove your name from the sect at the Seven Stars Hall..."
The servants arrived late, seeing Old Qi nearly stripped and hearing Du Ge's words. Their resentment for being told to leave their belongings vanished. They lowered their heads and hurried past, sticking to the side of the road.
"Third Senior Brother, have you gone mad? You want to cripple my cultivation?" Old Qi grew more annoyed, "I didn't argue with you before, but don't think I can't beat you. Come on, let's spar and see who can cripple whom."
Old Qi indeed had the right to be arrogant.
In the memory of the Third Senior Brother, aside from the eldest who followed the master the longest, this Seventh Junior Brother was the most skilled, likely due to his exceptional talent.
Thinking about it, he chose the wrong person for Body Possession.
Indeed.
Seven was his lucky number.
Choosing seven blindly was never wrong.
But now, Du Ge wasn't afraid of him.
After all, upon their first meeting, he had disarmed him.
Both trained under the same master, and the gap wasn't so wide that one could fight unarmed against a weapon.
Moreover, Du Ge had just plundered a sect, nobly taking on a mess, and his attributes had increased significantly, bridging the gap in talent between them. Besides, he had skills...
Clang!
Du Ge drew the long sword in his hand and tossed another to his junior sister, "Seventh Junior Brother, disrespecting the Sect Leader is another crime. Since you're so stubborn, as your Sect Leader Brother, I'll discipline you on behalf of our master. Junior Sister, you watch the fight. If Old Qi tries to run, stop him. Without rules, there's no square. If the Seven Stars Sect is to rise again, we must be united..."
"Yes, Senior Brother." Guan Xuan set down her burdens, dropped the miscellaneous items, and also drew her long sword, blocking Old Qi's path down the mountain.
Old Qi, still young and nearly stripped by Du Ge, found himself in a difficult position and charged with a shout.
Du Ge's sword thrust forward, preemptively aiming for his throat.
Old Qi retreated, his eyes wide, incredulously staring at Du Ge, "Third Senior Brother, do you really want to kill me?"
"Seventh Junior Brother, come back with me to the sect. Let's regroup. We're still family," Du Ge said, "If you refuse, then as a traitor, what's wrong with killing you? I can use your blood to consecrate my Sect Leader token."
"You... you're not Third Senior Brother. He wasn't as ruthless as you. Who are you?" Old Qi frowned, staring at Du Ge.
"Seventh Junior Brother, you have a black mole on your left buttock. Five days ago, you drew a small map on the bedding and sneaked out in the middle of the night..." Du Ge glanced at him, his tone light. Having memories was good; there was no need to hide, no fear of being exposed.
"Third Senior Brother, stop." Old Qi blushed, "Alright, I admit you're Third Senior Brother, but why have you suddenly become like this?"
Du Ge smiled, "Seventh Junior Brother, aren't you curious how I managed to strip you of your clothes? You're far more skilled than me, so why couldn't you even protect your own clothes from me?"
"..." Old Qi was stunned, recalling Du Ge's earlier technique, and asked in surprise, "Yeah, how did you do it?"
Guan Xuan also looked at Du Ge curiously. Honestly, she hadn't seen it either. If it were a violent tear, the clothes should have been ripped, but the clothes Du Ge stripped off were all intact.
If it had been her targeted by Third Senior Brother, she would have been too embarrassed to even fight.
"Seventh Junior Brother, come back with me. I know you still care for the sect. After I take over, I'll teach you, and together as brothers, we'll rebuild the Seven Stars Sect," Du Ge invited sincerely, sheathing his sword.
"First, tell me what that technique was?" Old Qi asked.
"I don't know either, perhaps it was an epiphany," Du Ge pondered, then replied.
"Epiphany?" Old Qi looked at Du Ge curiously, "What kind of epiphany?"
"Similar to the sudden enlightenment of Buddhism," Du Ge looked towards his junior sister, sighed softly, "When I stood before the ancestral tablets of the sect, looking at the bewildered junior sister, my mind suddenly filled with some insights..."
