I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067: Chapter 1069: Moon Essence Wheel_1 Chapter 1067: Chapter 1069: Moon Essence Wheel_1 Actually, this was a fragment of a treasure map. The location depicted on it was unclear due to the scant information, and even Song Jian didn't know where it was. However, on the back of the fragment was a small number 5. It seemed to be the fifth fragment.

“Who knows how many fragments of the map there are, and whether it's possible to collect all of them by clearing the entire Tower of Slaughter…” Han Dong looked at it twice but didn't discover anything unusual about the map fragment, so he put it into his inventory slot.

For a Sword Master, losing a weapon meant losing most of their strength. Song Jian's attack skills all required the use of a long sword. Without his weapon, it was like a tiger without its claws, or a phoenix without its wings.

Ding~
A crisp sound echoed through the space, and the floating text above shattered and reassembled itself. Song Jian's name had risen to the Tower of Slaughter's leaderboard.

[Tower of Slaughter leaderboard, first level cleared ranking, first place, Song Jian, clear time: 3 seconds]
Instantly killing thirty monsters of the same level directly made Song Jian the leader of the first level of the Tower of Slaughter leaderboard.

“There are rewards for clearing levels. I wonder what the reward for the first level is…” thought Song Jian.

Beep beep beep~
A series of electronic tones chimed, and a semi-transparent treasure chest appeared mid-air. Items inside the chest flickered continually, changing at least five or six times within a second, each time revealing a new item.

“Is this a random loot box?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise. He had never seen such an item before. Before you open a loot box, you can't even tell what's inside, and only at the moment of opening does the content of the box become fixed.

The random loot box gently fell from the air, and its previously semi-transparent appearance solidified, obscuring the items inside from Song Jian's view.

The chest was plain and unadorned, without any indication of quality glow, making it completely unknown what kind of items would be inside.

“Whatever treasure I get will be down to luck, and I hope my luck holds up this time!” Song Jian quietly thought to himself as he slowly opened the chest.

Song Jian's luck had reached eight points, several times that of an ordinary person. Whether it was the chance to land a critical hit during an attack or the loot dropped by monsters, they never disappointed him. This time was no exception with the random loot box.

As he opened the loot box, a dazzling purple-red glow burst forth, bringing joy to Song Jian's heart, an epic item.

Now that players' levels and strengths had generally increased, epic-quality items remained out of reach for the vast majority of them.

Lifting the lid of the chest, an epic-quality Skill Book emanating a purple-red glow lay quietly at the bottom of the box.

“It's a Skill Book, I wonder if it's suitable for me to learn…” Song Jian muttered to himself as he picked up the book.

An epic-quality Skill Book, even if he couldn't learn it, or if the power and effects weren't right for him, could be consumed by the Thousand Swords Art. The Thousand Swords Art had just leveled up recently, and the epic Skill Book could probably add between one-tenth and one-eighth to its proficiency.

“Skill Book – Moon Essence Wheel, upon use, you will learn the skill Moon Essence Wheel. Moon Essence Wheel: Condense all energy and form a Moon Essence Wheel. Once formed, the Moon Essence Wheel can absorb the essence of the sun and moon to exist for a long time, and it can also actively attack all enemies within a ten-meter radius of the user! Skill learning requirement: Consumption class energy value 1000 points;”
“This seems to be quite powerful…” Song Jian simply slapped the Skill Book and immediately a purple-red light transformed into his brow.

Song Jian now had two types of energy to consume, one being Spirit Points, and the other being Sword Qi Value. Although Song Jian's mental attribute had already exceeded two hundred points, making it his main attribute, his Spirit Points to date were only a little more than eight hundred, just shy of nine hundred. Therefore, if he used Mental Strength, he couldn't learn this skill.

However, Song Jian's Sword Qi Value far exceeded one thousand points. Just one Sword Master skill alone had directly added one thousand points of Sword Qi Value. With his inherent base Sword Qi Value added, Song Jian's Sword Qi Value had reached over one thousand five hundred points, which fully met the learning conditions for Moon Essence Wheel.

Moon Essence Wheel (Active): Level 1 (0%), Skill Effect: Consume all Sword Qi Value to condense a Moon Essence Wheel. This weapon does not require control and will automatically attack any enemies that approach within a ten-meter radius. It can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon normally, and the longer it exists, the more powerful the Moon Essence Wheel becomes;
With a single thought, Song Jian immediately felt a sense of weakness surge within him as the Sword Qi from his dantian rushed out, feeling identical to when he triggered the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation with the Thousand Swords Art.

“Another big spender…” A wry smile appeared on Song Jian's face, and he had already decided that if the power of this skill didn't meet his expectations, he would simply let the Thousand Swords Art devour it and convert it into proficiency.

Quickly, a brilliant pale gold light shone from his chest, and a palm-sized golden crescent moon appeared out of nowhere at Song Jian's chest.

At the moment the crescent moon appeared, Song Jian felt an odd sensation, as if his body had grown an extra organ, an external one at that, which, oddly enough, was beyond his control.

This was the Moon Essence Wheel, looking like a crescent moon, emitting a pale golden light from its surface, with tiny runes appearing from time to time before fading away again.

The outer edge of the Moon Essence Wheel was extremely sharp, flashing with silver cold light, while the inner edge had tiny serrations, glimmering with golden cold light. It looked a bit strange, but as Song Jian watched it, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread welling up inside him.

While Song Jian was observing the Moon Essence Wheel floating in front of his chest, its properties suddenly popped up in his mind;
“Moon Essence Wheel (Sword Qi), Damage: 5000-10000; Special Effect 1: Armor Break, attacks ignore the target's 30% armor value; Special Effect 2: Piercing, attacks deal 8000 piercing damage to the target; Special Effect 3: Critical Strike, when damaging a target, there is a chance to trigger a fatal effect, causing repeated damage. The fatal effect will slightly increase with each trigger, with the chance of triggering capped at 30%; Special Effect 4: Multiplying Shadows, when damaging a target, there is a chance to trigger additional moon shadows depending on the number of enemies within a ten-meter radius, each shadow doing 50% of the Moon Essence Wheel's own damage, lasting for 10 seconds, and this skill can only be triggered once every 30 seconds!”

“Hiss, this thing, has even greater power than the Sky-breaking Sword? And since it's condensed from Sword Qi, although it has weapon effects, it counts as a skill, not being subject to the restrictions of a Sword Master. Doesn't this mean from now on I have another automatically attacking weapon?” A look of surprise appeared on Song Jian's face.

As if sensing Song Jian's emotions, the Moon Essence Wheel also trembled lightly and began to revolve up and down around Song Jian, fluttering like a defense satellite.

Just at that moment, the text in mid-air shattered once again, commencing the second round of the Slaughter Trial;
[Slaughter Trial: Kill fifty monsters of the same level within 1 hour. The shorter the time, the richer the trial rewards. The top ten will be listed on the Tower of Slaughter leaderboard!]
