Purgatory Artist-Chapter 232: Preparation before leveling

The north wind howled.

The snow continued to fall.

"We're here."

Liu Ping panted and said tiredly.

After a day and night of running, he had passed through the snowfield.

This was a cliff.

"As a level-9 knight, I'm still carrying you. If I force myself to climb down, I'm afraid I'll fall to my death."

Liu Ping looked down the cliff.

With his eyesight, he could naturally see the bottom of the cliff.

It was the Kingdom of Ceylon that was sealed by frost.

However, the cliffs on both sides were covered with frost. When climbing, one had to be extremely careful, otherwise, it was easy to fall.

"The last time I came, I had a companion who could fly. This time, fortunately, there are three worms, two of which can fly. But I still don't dare to go down."

"Do you know why?"

"Once I go down, the seal will open and the time inside will start to flow."

"I have two friends inside. They're in danger, and I haven't thought of a way to save them."

"Looks like I have to level up first."

"It's said that every 10 levels of a card master is a node and there will be a leap. But I've just reached level 10. I'm only a level-10 knight. Even with a shield, I know that I can't gain the power to defeat a prisoner."

"There's no such good thing in the world, unless someone lies to you."

"But I'll still try. It's better than doing nothing."

Hua Qingkong listened to him quietly.

Liu Ping put her down, took off his coat and put it on her.

"This is the first time I've encountered a level-10 node. I don't have much experience. I should've asked Norton in advance."

"Unfortunately, the situation was urgent and I didn't have time to ask in detail."

"So —"

"If when I level up, I fall into a certain state and can't continue to speak, then it's over."

"We have to think of a way ... to make sure you listen to me carefully."

"..."

"Let's look at the skill description again."

In the void, lines of small burning words appeared quickly:

[Upstaging]

[Description: When you say 'Stop! Listen to me! ' This line will activate the ability immediately. You have to continuously say any lines, and the target you have identified will subconsciously listen and won't do anything else until you attack them or you stop talking for a long time. ]

[If someone is determined to upstage the show, you won't be able to get a word in.]

[P.S: You rejected the popular route and started as an extra. Now, you have perfectly upgraded from a 'Fishmonger' to 'Upstaging'.]

[Please continue to explore the secrets of Purgatory and the Evernight World. Once you've obtained enough points, your mystic abilities will continue to improve.]

Liu Ping finished reading it seriously.

— — This acting Class ability was so powerful that even the prisoners couldn't resist it.

Unfortunately, this series of abilities didn't have much attack power.

Besides — —

The secrets of the Evernight World weren't that easy to explore.

"This ability ... we have to figure it out again, or else we won't be able to do anything."

As Liu Ping spoke, he stared at a certain spot in the void.

It was the description of the "Upstaging".

[After the ability is activated, you have to continuously say any lines you want ...]

How exactly was the concept of "any line" defined?

Liu Ping thought for a while and said:

"Heroic Spirit UI, please show me my battle record." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Two lines of small burning words appeared in the void:

[Displaying]

[You've continued to activate the" Upstaging", the prisoner is listening to your lines]

Liu Ping said: "Lines can only be spoken? I remember that there are 'subtexts' in dramas, right? Maybe if I do some kind of action, I can make the other party keep watching? "

A line of small burning words appeared:

[This Sequence can only help you upgrade your mystic abilities, but it can't be omniscient. You have to explore the boundaries of the" Upstager"ability yourself]

"Alright."

Liu Ping closed his mouth and began to do all kinds of actions in front of Hua Qingkong.

The next moment.

A line of small burning words suddenly appeared:

[You're stopping the performance of your lines, the other party will leave the listening state]

Hua Qingkong slowly raised her head, a hint of crimson appeared in her eyes.

Liu Ping's expression changed, and he said: "This won't do! I'll just continue speaking. "

Hua Qingkong was startled, lowered her head again, and listened quietly.

A line of small burning words appeared:

[You've maintained the performance of your lines, the other party has entered the listening state again]

A cold wind blew.

Liu Ping felt a thin layer of cold sweat on his back.

— — actions can't replace words!

What else can I do?

Snowflakes continued to fall on him, but he didn't seem to feel it, and continued to walk back and forth on the cliff.

At a certain point.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, cleared his throat, and started singing.

"I wish you happiness and longevity as long as the heavens."

"I wish you a happy birthday."

"There will always be a day like this every year. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Hua Qingkong didn't move.

A line of small words appeared in the void of space:

[The following rules have been discovered:]

[Songs are seen as a kind of lines — — even in some musicals, songs are lines]

Liu Ping snapped his fingers, casually drew a card, and shouted: "Go and come back quickly."

Bang!

A bug with six pairs of wings soared into the sky and soon disappeared without a trace.

"We can't think of anything else right now, we can only ensure that when I break through, you won't do anything bad."

Liu Ping looked at Hua Qingkong and said.

Hua Qingkong pondered.

Not long after.

Oong — —

A faint sound of movement could be heard from the sky.

The bug flew through the wind and snow, landed in front of Liu Ping, and threw a thick branch to him.

Liu Ping crouched down, carefully looked at the branch, and spoke:

"Perhaps you don't know, when I went to all the major sects in the past, many music experts fought to the death just to hear my flute plays."

"As the saying goes, it's hard to find a soulmate in the world. These past events have already disappeared, I'm now struggling to survive in the Eternal Night, I've already lost that sentiment, so there's no need to mention it."

He took out a scalpel and quickly cut the branch.

A few moments later.

A wooden flute was completed.

"Sorry, it's a bit crude, just bear with it."

Liu Ping put the flute to his lips and lightly blew.

The sound of the flute traveled through the cold wind and snow, spreading across the silent world of ice.

Hua Qingkong maintained a listening expression.

A line of burning words appeared in the void of space:

[The music you play is seen as the subtext you want to express, causing the other party to continue to fall into a listening state]

Actions can't, but music can!

Liu Ping put the flute down, took out the scalpel again, and quickly cut the flute.

"What I'm about to do next, if those fellow Dao cultivators of the past see it, they'll definitely laugh at me."

"But there's no other way, right now, we're just trying to survive."

A few moments later.

He put the scalpel away and raised the flute.

The wind howled.

The wind passed through the flute, moving back and forth through every hole on the flute, giving off a series of sounds.

"There's something I don't like about natural winds, that is, they come and go."

"We can't place all our hopes on natural winds."

Liu Ping took out a Card and threw it out.

Bam!

Another bug with 6 pairs of wings silently appeared.

Liu Ping looked at the two bugs and lightly coughed: "Lilith."

"I'm here."

Lilith peeked her head out from the hair next to his ear.

"You're controlling two bugs to keep fanning me."

"Alright." Lilith said.

Liu Ping nodded and put the flute to his lips.

"I'm coming!" Lilith said.

"Come!" Liu Ping said.

The two bugs flapped their 6 pairs of wings with all their might, giving off a strong gust of wind.

Liu Ping helplessly put the flute down and said:

"Lilith, there's no need for such a strong gust of wind, I was almost blown away."

"Ah, sorry, I'm a bit nervous."

"Again."

"Alright."

The wind blew again.

Liu Ping put the flute to his lips and lightly breathed.

The flute gave off a series of messy sounds, as if someone who didn't know how to play a musical instrument was just playing it randomly.

Hua Qingkong didn't move and continued to listen.

Liu Ping slowly adjusted his breathing and looked at the void of space.

A line of burning text remained there:

[The music you play is considered to be the subtext you want to express, causing the other party to continue to listen]

Success!

Liu Ping's gaze moved to the two lines of text at the corner of the void of space:

[Current Experience: 130%]

[Would you like to level up?]

Liu Ping maintained his posture and silently said in his mind: "Level up!"

His surroundings suddenly darkened.

A powerful pulling force appeared from the void of space and pulled Liu Ping — — -

He instantly floated up.

"Hua Qingkong!"

Liu Ping quickly looked over.

He was still standing on top of the cliff, playing the flute in his hand while Hua Qingkong silently listened.

Lines of burning text appeared in the void of space:

[You've reached level 10.]

[Level 10 is the power node of Mystic realm, please choose your direction of development]

The text disappeared.

The world turned completely dark.

Following that, a gigantic pillar that reached the sky appeared in front of Liu Ping.

— — The Divine Pillar of Eternal Night!
