This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

If the exclusive attribute panel is this amazing, then the exclusive skills must be going to be incredible!
Jiang Liu stared at the exclusive skill panel of the Dragon Sword Master, his finger hovering over the light screen, and clicked on the exclusive skill introduction with great anticipation.

As soon as he clicked on the [Dragon-shaped Sword Qi] icon, a system notification popped up like a precise pop-up ad, almost cracking his heart for cultivating immortality.

[System Prompt: Unlocking skill details requires 100 million spirit stones. Confirm? (Friendly reminder: The development team is earnestly requesting donations. We wish you a pleasant experience using the skill.)]

Jiang Liu: “.”

He was clearly taken aback for a moment, tilted his head, and carefully recalled all the games he had played since childhood.

No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't remember a game where viewing skills required money.

Haha, can't planners just stand up and make money?
"Begging for donations with tears in your eyes? I think it's just harvesting韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting consumers) with tears in your eyes!"

Jiang Liu grumbled as he quickly clicked "Yes".

"It's only 100 million, consider it as buying the planner a cup of milk tea. If the skills are terrible, I'll just blow up your server!"

The light screen refreshed instantly, and the details page for the [Dragon-Shaped Sword Qi] unfolded with golden dragon pattern effects. The details were so rich that Jiang Liu couldn't help but lean closer to take a look:
【Skill Name: Dragon-Shaped Sword Aura (Active)】

Skill Level: 1 (Upgradeable)

[Upgrade Requirements: 100 Dragon Crystal Jade + 1000 million Spirit Stones + 100 Stegosaurus Scales]

[Skill Effect: The player concentrates the power of the Sword Dragon's soul into the sword, and golden dragon patterns will appear on the hilt. The blade will burst with dazzling golden light, and then a sword dragon phantom that is a hundred feet long will burst out of the sword, with lightning flashing on its horns and flames wrapped in its claws, roaring as it charges toward the target area.]

[Skill Effect: Deals 1000% attack power as sword damage to all enemies in a 1000-meter fan-shaped area in front. Enemies below the Tribulation stage are directly knocked back 50 meters by the sword energy. It also applies the "Dragon's Might Intimidation" effect, which prevents them from moving for 3 seconds. If the target is a dragon beast, the intimidation time is extended to 5 seconds and an additional 500% dragon-specific damage is dealt.]

[Spirit Stones Consumed: 100 million per attempt]

[Cooling time: 100 seconds]

Jiang Liu: “!!!!”

Deals 1000% sword damage to enemies 1000 meters ahead!

And it will be locked in place for three seconds!
That's an awesome skill, and it only has a 100-second cooldown!
and many more?

Releasing it consumes 100 million spirit stones?
Holy crap, the billions of spirit stones you sold for the Dragon Sword Master class change aren't even enough to make you rich, and now you're charging for your exclusive skills?
You're just keeping things distant, like a gentle stream flowing between you, aren't you?
If you're so capable, then remove the cooldown and see if I can unleash a hundred consecutive dragon-shaped sword energies!
"One million per time, and the skills can be upgraded."

Jiang Liu looked at the introduction of the dragon-shaped sword aura speechlessly. What are Dragon Crystal Jade and Sword Dragon Scales? Are I going to have to spend money to buy them again?
He shook his head and then clicked on [Dragon and Sword Control (Active)]. As expected, the system notification prompted him to report on time again.

[System notification: Unlocking this skill requires 200 million spirit stones. Confirm? (Friendly reminder from the developers: The more expensive the skill, the higher its prestige.)]

"Prestige? I think it's the prestige of spending real money."

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes and pointed to the "yes".

[Upgrade Requirements: 500 Dragon Crystal Jade + 5000 million Spirit Stones + 500 Stegosaurus Scales]

The dragon's back is equipped with a golden dragon-patterned saddle. When the dragon's wings are spread, silver light flakes will fall. At the same time, the phantom of the sword dragon will wrap around the sword, and the blade will be covered with flowing golden dragon flames. When attacking, it will leave a dragon-shaped light trail.]

[Skill Effect: When riding a dragon, movement speed +200%, attack speed +150%, jump height +100%, allowing free movement underwater and in the air; normal attacks inflict "Dragon Flame Burn," dealing 500% of attack power as fire damage per second for 5 seconds.

After deactivation, the dragon will transform into sword threads and return to the sword.]

[Cooling time: 1 hours]

Hidden Easter Egg: When riding a dragon, releasing the [Dragon-shaped Sword Aura] will imbue the sword aura with a dragon flame effect, dealing an additional 300% damage.

"Dragon-shaped mount"

Jiang Liu's lips twitched, then he smiled with relief: "Alright, 1000 million spirit stones for 30 minutes, this dragon is really expensive."

At last.

His gaze was fixed on the ultimate skill, [Sword and Dragon as One (Ultimate Skill)], and he was mentally prepared to be slaughtered. Sure enough, the number displayed by the system made him gasp in shock.

[System notification: Unlocking ultimate skill details requires 1000 million spirit stones. Confirm? (The game planner is begging the developers: This skill is truly devastating!)]

【Unlock】

Awesome!
It's really expensive to use it even once!

"1 million spirit stones for one use, lasting 10 minutes."

Jiang Liu pursed his lips and said that it was expensive, but fortunately he was not short of money and could use it as a trump card.

With this set of paid skills, he is no longer afraid of bosses in the early stages of the Tribulation Realm.

Who is the BOSS in the early stages of the tribulation? I will end its life!
"Where can I find Dragon Crystal Jade, Stegosaurus Scales, and the Stegosaurus King's Reverse Scale for skill upgrades?"

Just as Jiang Liu was wondering, the system's voice followed.

[System Notification: Congratulations on unlocking all exclusive skills for the Dragon Sword Master! The map [Sword Dragon King's Secret Realm] has been automatically unlocked for you. This map yields core materials for upgrading Dragon Sword Master skills and has a high probability of producing the Immortal-grade material Dragon Pattern Jade Marrow. Do you wish to teleport immediately?]

Here it comes, here it comes!
The exclusive dungeon for the Dragon Sword Master is here!
Ok?
Unlock for free?

Has the planner changed their mind?

Jiang Liu subconsciously clicked on the [Teleport] button.

next second.

Another system notification popped up.

[Friendly Reminder: The Sword Dragon King's Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. It is recommended to purchase the [Sword Dragon Protection Set] (priced at 2 million spirit stones). Set effect: Immune to 50% of damage from dragon-type monsters, increases the drop rate of Dragon Crystal Jade by 20%. Without purchasing the set, you will lose 99% of your health per second when entering the Secret Realm.]

Jiang Liu: “.”

Hehe, I knew it! How could you not charge for a custom map?
Unlocking the map is free, but if you don't buy the set, you'll lose 99% of your health every second!
Isn't this just a completely pointless exercise?
It's just a different form.

[2 million spirit stones have been spent to purchase the [Sword Dragon Protection Set], and the set has been automatically equipped.]

[Transferring to the Stegosaurus Realm]

A deep blue light flashed, and Jiang Liu instantly appeared in the pitch-black depths of the sea. [System Notification: Entered the Sword Dragon King's Secret Realm (Outer Area)]

Jiang Liu had just steadied himself when he felt a strange movement beneath his feet. Looking down, he saw a Deep Sea Ink Dragon, the size of a water buffalo, staring at him with blood-red eyes, spitting out black ink, and radiating the pressure of a Great Perfection of the Integration Stage.

Are the monsters in the outer area already at the Great Perfection of the Fusion Stage?

This map is perfect for the Sword Master!
"Perfect timing! Time to test out my new skill!"

Jiang Liu's eyes narrowed, and he gripped his longsword tightly with both hands, channeling spiritual energy into it as instructed by the skill.

Instantly, the golden dragon pattern on the hilt lit up, the blade burst forth with dazzling golden light, and a phantom of a sword dragon a hundred feet long burst out of the sword, its horns crackling with lightning and its claws wreathed in flames, roaring as it charged toward the deep-sea black dragon!

[System Notification: 100 million spirit stones consumed, dragon-shaped sword energy released]

boom!
The phantom of the sword dragon slammed into the deep-sea ink dragon, the enormous impact sending the ink dragon flying. Golden sword energy exploded instantly, cutting the ink dragon's body into countless fragments, with black blood and ink spreading in the seawater.

Instant kill!

You have slain the Deep Sea Ink Dragon.

You have collected 1 Dragon Crystal Jade, 1 Stegosaurus Scale, 1 Dragon Pattern Associated Ore, and 1219 Spirit Stones.

Exchanging 100 million spirit stones for 1000 spirit stones is a good deal!
Farm skill upgrade materials!
Farm for Dragon Pattern Associated Ore!

Brush on dragon-patterned chalcedony!
Jiang Liu was like a man possessed, frantically grinding monsters on the outskirts of the Sword Dragon King's Secret Realm.

He unleashes the Dragon-Shaped Sword Aura as soon as it's off cooldown; a skill costing 100 million spirit stones per use is like free money in his hands.

When he encountered a group of deep-sea ink dragons, he immediately released dragon-shaped sword energy, instantly clearing out the deep-sea ink dragons in the fan-shaped area, and the fallen dragon crystal jade piled up into a small mountain.

After purchasing multiple dragon-related items and changing his class to Dragon Sword Master, his damage increase against monsters reached hundreds or even thousands. This monster, at the peak of its fusion stage, couldn't withstand a single move from him.

Instant kill, instant kill, it's an instant kill!

In just one hour, he killed hundreds of dragon-type monsters, clearing out the outer area of ​​the Sword Dragon King's Secret Realm.

Gan!
What a terrible map! There are only a few hundred monsters on each floor. Who can farm that much?

[System Notification: The monsters in the outer area have been completely eliminated. It is recommended to proceed to the middle area, where the monsters are of a higher level and the probability of obtaining Dragon Crystal Jade is greatly increased.]

"The middle-level area? Let's go!"

Jiang Liu felt that the monsters on the outer perimeter were not enough to fight, so he immediately headed towards the middle area.

Upon entering the middle layer, the water pressure increased instantly, the air became viscous, and the dragon roars from afar became even more violent.

A massive lightning dragon burst out of the trench, its body wreathed in purple lightning. It immediately unleashed its Thunder Dragon Roar, and purple lightning rained down like a storm!
"Let's try riding the dragon and wielding the sword again!"

Jiang Liu poured in spiritual energy without hesitation, and the sword split into countless tiny sword threads, which condensed into a silver-white dragon mount. The dragon's back was equipped with a golden dragon-patterned saddle, and when the dragon's wings spread, they scattered silver light flakes. At the same time, the phantom of the sword dragon wrapped around the sword, and the blade was covered with flowing golden dragon flames.

[System Notification: 1000 million spirit stones have been consumed to release Dragon Control Sword]

Jiang Liu leaped onto the dragon's back, his movement speed increasing instantly, easily dodging the thunder dragon's roar.

He steered his dragon mount and swooped down, his longsword, wreathed in dragon flames, slashing fiercely at the back of the deep-sea thunder dragon.

scoff!

The longsword struck the scales, sparks flying, and at the same time, dragon flames instantly ignited the deep-sea thunder dragon's body, causing it to roar in pain.

The deep-sea thunder dragon turned to attack, but Jiang Liu skillfully dodged by maneuvering his dragon mount, while simultaneously unleashing dragon-shaped sword energy.

Because of riding a dragon, the dragon-shaped sword energy has a dragon flame effect, increasing damage by an additional 300%. Golden sword energies fell with flames, and the deep-sea thunder dragon's health dropped at a visible rate.

"It's not over yet!"

Jiang Liu smirked, maneuvering his dragon mount to circle behind the Deep Sea Thunder Dragon. He plunged his longsword into its wound, and dragon flames erupted instantly, burning the Deep Sea Thunder Dragon's internal organs to charcoal.

You have defeated the Deep Sea Thunder Dragon.

You have obtained 2 Dragon Crystals, 2 Stegosaurus Scales, 10 Dragon Pattern Associated Ore, and 2547 Spirit Stones.

Damn, this map drops so few spirit stones.

Jiang Liu rode his dragon mount and rampaged through the middle level, encountering all sorts of dragon-type monsters along the way.

The deep-sea ice dragon, skilled at freezing; the deep-sea shadow dragon, adept at ambushes; and the immensely strong deep-sea giant armored dragon.
useless!

It's an instant kill!

Dragon Sword Master?

Do not!
He is the nemesis of dragons!
[System Notification: The player has accumulated 500 monster kills in the mid-level area, unlocking access to the core area. The core area contains the [Deep Sea Dragon King] (early stage of Tribulation). It is recommended to prepare accordingly.]

"Finally, a Tribulation Stage BOSS has appeared!"

Jiang Liu's eyes sharpened, then he became excited.

He's tired of killing monsters in the Fusion stage, so this BOSS is a good opportunity to test his ultimate skill!
He's incredibly wealthy to try out a skill that costs 1 million spirit stones for a single use.

The river flows directly into the core area.

The seawater in the core area was as black as ink, with huge whirlpools appearing from time to time. In the distance, a dragon-shaped palace stood on the seabed, which was the lair of the Deep Sea Dragon King.

Just as they approached the palace, a deafening dragon roar resounded, causing the entire deep sea to tremble violently, and even the dragon mount beneath Jiang Liu's feet became somewhat unsteady.

The Deep Sea Dragon King burst out of the palace. It was hundreds of feet long, covered in black dragon scales, with red eyes, and exuded the pressure of the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, making it stronger than all the demonic beasts encountered before combined.

"Ouch!"

"What are you yelling about!"

Jiang Liu took a deep breath and activated his ultimate skill without hesitation!
[System Notification: 1 million spirit stones have been consumed to unleash the Sword Dragon Fusion]

A golden cocoon of light instantly enveloped him, and the sword dragon's soul burst forth from his body, merging with it!

Jiang Liu's size surged to thirty zhang, his body covered in golden dragon scales, sword-shaped dragon wings sprouting from his back, sword dragon horns on his head, golden dragon pupils in his eyes, his hands transformed into dragon claws, and the long sword in his hand became the "Sword Dragon Holy Sword," exuding an aura of world destruction.

[System Notification: You have transformed into Stegosaurus form for 10 minutes. All attributes are doubled. Stegosaurus Domain has been released.]

"So handsome!"

Jiang Liu felt the power surging within him and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Upon seeing his form, the Deep Sea Dragon King couldn't help but retreat several hundred meters, but he still opened his mouth wide and released his dragon breath, a huge black energy pillar rushing straight towards him!

Jiang Liu unleashed a barrage of attacks, continuously releasing dragon-shaped sword energy in conjunction with his main body skills!

"Dragon-shaped sword energy!"

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

"Raging Thunder!"

In the blink of an eye, the Deep Sea Dragon King's health dropped by more than half! (End of Chapter)
