Proofreader: Arya


“Hello, I’m the Confederate military officer, Zhang Ren Jia” Gu Qing Shan introduced himself.


“So you’re the one that sparred with Ivan?”


“That’s me”


“Wait, please don’t speak yet, let me take a guess first ——–“ the cardinal suddenly smiled.


Gu Qing Shan leaned on the chair’s armrest, looking at him curiously.


Although he doesn’t know what the other party wanted, but if they’re demanding that, then he might as well sit and let time slowly pass.


That’s his intention from the start anyways.


The cardinal started to speak.


“That moron saw that you wore military garb and got excited, came up to provoke you and ask you to spar with him”


The cardinal shook his head, then pointed at Gu Qing Shan: “Did I got that right?”


———ah, he’s just showing off, Gu Qing Shan instantly understood.


He then acted like he couldn’t help it and said: “I had no way to refuse, he seemed to like sparring a lot”


“Of course! Of course! The thing that he likes doing the most is sparring, even I sometimes get annoyed with his provocative antics” the cardinal suddenly looked mad.


He then continued: “So after he provoked and asked to spar with you, you couldn’t take it and provoked him back, saying that you’ll show him his place or something like that”


“Right” Gu Qing Shan followed up with him.


“He was so confident that he’d be able to break your confidence, but instead hit a hard rock and got sent flying”


“Exactly” Gu Qing Shan nodded to encourage him to go on.


“Hm, I must say, you really did quite well, I also despise that bastard” the cardinal sighed.


Gu Qing Shan checked his Holo-Brain.


[1 minute 59 seconds] the Holo-Brain showed.


“I really want to befriend you now” the cardinal extended his hand and said.


“It would be my honor” Gu Qing Shan said.


Suddenly, the cardinal’s tone changed, saying: “But no matter what, Ivan and I are both people of the Holy Church. And since you sent him flying, it’s regretful but I definitely cannot befriend you”


“Well that’s a shame” Gu Qing Shan replied.


The cardinal continued: “It can’t be helped. Either way, the Holy Church’s reputation has been sullied, so I have to get it back one way or the other. This way, people will know for sure just who is the more reliable Holy Apostle”


A gorgeous dark red pattern appeared at his feet.


Mystic-type God’s Chosen Skill, [Holy Spirit]


The cardinal jumped up, his body turned transparent.


He said apologetically: “Seeing how you gave me such a good mood; I’ll only take your legs”


The cardinal pulled out a long whip and slashed it at Gu Qing Shan.


“Truthfully, we can keep talking for a bit longer, badmouth Ivan some more” saying so, Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth Sword and blocked the whip.


The whip went straight through the Earth Sword and kept flying at Gu Qing Shan.


Sure enough!


Gu Qing Shan’s body flashed, escaping the attack.


“Ah?” the cardinal was surprised: “You’ve seen our Holy Church’s God’s Chosen Skill before?”


While he was talking, the whip didn’t stop and kept slithering like a poisonous snake, kept on aiming at Gu Qing Shan’s vitals.


Right as Gu Qing Shan dodged, he used his sword to lift the chair and flung it.


The chair flew straight through the cardinal’s body and down to the second floor.


Gu Qing Shan frowned.


This is at least a Fully-awakened stage [Holy Spirit]


[Holy Spirit] is the Holy Church’s Mystic-type God’s Chosen Skill, its power is to allow both the user and their weapons to become incorporeal, capable of ignoring all physical attacks.


At the same time, [Holy Spirit]’s user will be able to affect the world as normal while in their incorporeal state.


Just like how [Repentance] is exceptionally strong, [Holy Spirit] is also really hard to deal with.


The Holy Church is able to grow to where they are today mainly due to these practically unbeatable Mystic-type God’s Chosen Skills.


Anyone that possess these Mystic-type God’s Chosen Skills will automatically become a Holy Apostle.


Holy Apostles are raised from birth using a secret method to make sure that they awaken to these Mystic-type God’s Chosen Skills.


But in that process, they require a certain thing that can’t be substituted. And that’s the Royal Family’s God’s Chosen Awakening Serum.



The Church is able to raise these seeds, while the Royal family has a monopoly on the Serum, which combined to create the glorious history of the Holy Empire.


Gu Qing Shan fell backwards, changing his title to [Sword 15] in the process.


Such a God’s Chosen Skill like [Holy Spirit] truly is the ultimate counter to sword cultivators like Gu Qing Shan.


The only method he has is using the title Skill of [Sword 15], [Sound Shock].


[Sound Shock (primary): With each attack, your weapon will also disturb your opponent’s soul vessel]


This is his only non-physical attack skill.


He’s not strong enough yet to become a Sword Saint that can cut through anything.


“I haven’t even hurt Ivan yet, why would you want my legs?” Gu Qing Shan asked.


“Ahahaha, you might not know this, but the Holy Church doesn’t allow failures, Ivan will definitely receive heavy punishment later” the cardinal swung his whip again and casually attacked.


Shill!


As the tip of the sword reached forward, the cardinal didn’t even bother to look at it and said: “Such an attack won’t——-“


But he got cut off.


The sword didn’t pierce anything, but the cardinal felt pain on his face.


He instinctively reached for his nose.


There was blood.


“You wounded me?” he looked at the blood on his hand and said unconsciously.


Intense holy light began to emit from his body.


Suddenly, Impartial Goddess’ voice was heard.


[It’s time, the warp device has begun its activation, please be careful sir]


“What’s wrong?”


[The other Holy Apostles has received the news and are quickly approaching your location. The Paladin have almost finished assembling as well]


“Ok, I got it”


Gu Qing Shan’s expression became solemn.


The cardinal’s expression also changed roaring: “Who are you talking to!”


Suddenly, he felt a very light sound from one of the rooms on the 3rd floor.


Clack, clack!


It was a sound of machinery.


The cardinal froze in place, then realized for the very first time that the situation might not be quite what he had thought it was.


Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and scanned across the exhibition room.


No one was in there.


The king had already vanished, while Anna had also been warped back to the S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress.


Tapping his Inventory Bag, Gu Qing Shan released the full light gold armor set, attaching to his body with his inner sight.


After the silver mask covered his face, he took a look at the cardinal one last time.


“It’s time to say goodbye, I’ll keep my legs for now until the next time we fight for you to take” he said.


“Just who are—–“ the cardinal was stunned, speaking blankly.


Not only is the situation not as he thought it was, this person seems to not be a normal military officer of the Confederate as well.


Gu Qing Shan turned around and quickly dashed towards the other end of the hallway.


“Bastard, stay right there!” the cardinal finally regained his senses, shouting while swinging his whip.


Gu Qing Shan ignored him and headed straight towards the window.


The whip struck the You Ji General armor set, letting metal sounds of ‘clink, clank, clank, clink, clank’.


——–but apart from slightly increasing Gu Qing Shan’s speed with every hit, the attacks didn’t even leave a scratch on the armor.


The golden light crashed through the window, drawing a beautiful arc flying across for sky for a few hundred meters before landing, then immediately rushed far away.


“He knows how to fly…” the cardinal could only stand watching this blankly.


By himself, he definitely cannot catch up, but——-


The cardinal suddenly remembered something and headed towards the room that let out the sound before.


With a single whip strike, the door was broken down.


Running inside, he looked around the room.


Everything was normal.


The cardinal walked around, then fixed his eyes on a certain part of the wall.


From what he remembered the last time he visited this place, there’s supposed to be a painting hung here.


But the wall was empty.


There was no painting.
