Chapter 155 Wei Qingping's Adventure - The Abandoned Dungeon 4: Witness the Moment of Miracles!

In the previous chapter, we mentioned that the Sword King found a bunch of items in a large box, one of which, the "Seven Star Sword," had been "rusted" by Wei Qingping.

Then, the Sword King suddenly had a brilliant idea and wanted Wei Qingping to "remove the rust" from the "rusty iron ingots" as well.

The Sword King pointed to the "rusty iron ingot" and said to Wei Qingping, "Try this!"

Looking at the "rusty iron ingot," Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao with a blank expression, "What does it mean?"

The Sword King told Wei Qingping, "Touch this iron block and see if it recognizes you as its 'master.' Otherwise, this rusty thing is useless to carry around."

From the expression on Wei Qingping's face, it was clear that she was extremely disgusted. She said to the Sword King, "I don't want it! That's so dirty, it's completely rusty! If I accidentally cut myself, I'll really get tetanus!"

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "Even if you get tetanus, you can still 'resurrect'. Oh, and there's a magnet." As he spoke, he took the "magnet" out of his backpack and handed it to Wei Qingping.

After receiving the "magnet block," Wei Qingping looked bewildered and asked King Jianhao, "What does it mean?"

The Sword King told Wei Qingping, "You didn't touch the rusty part of the sword just now, did you? Try using a magnet to pick up that piece of iron and see if you can 'remove the rust' as magically as before."

The Sword King couldn't wait to see Wei Qingping's "performance." He hadn't seen it before, but now the opportunity had arrived. Like an audience member waiting for a magic show, he said to Wei Qingping, "Next, the moment of witnessing a miracle is about to begin!"

Wei Qingping was also curious whether she really had that ability, so she agreed to do it. Anyway, she didn't need to touch the rust with her hands; she could just use a magnet to attract the iron ingot to test it.

After Wei Qingping used a "magnet" to pick up the "rusty iron ingot", the rust spots on the iron ingot did not disappear.

The swordsman king, seeing no miracle, immediately lost interest. He said disappointedly, "Oh...it seems it won't work. Miracles don't happen every time."

Wei Qingping was quite disappointed when she heard what the Sword King said. She had just been wondering if she had gained some new ability, but it turned out that she hadn't so quickly.

The Swordsman King tried to make conversation to cover up the awkward atmosphere. He asked Wei Qingping, "Don't you think the iron ingot is a bit heavy?"

Wei Qingping completely failed to understand the Sword King's idea of ​​easing the awkward atmosphere. She simply remained calm and answered the Sword King directly, saying, "I don't think so."

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "It seems that sword training is indeed useful; it has enhanced your strength." After saying that, he began to worry, trying to figure out why the rust on the iron ingot had not been removed by Wei Qingping's "ability".

Wei Qingping started to get bored, so she propped the torch against the wall and put the "magnetic block" and "rusty iron ingot" that had stuck together on the ground. She wanted to separate the two things, but she really didn't want to touch the "rusty iron ingot" with her hands, so she looked around for some tools.

However, the moment the iron ingot touched the ground, the rust on it miraculously disappeared!

Wei Qingping was very excited and said to the Sword King, "It's changed! It's changed!"

The Sword King had been lost in thought. When Wei Qingping called him, he snapped back to reality and saw that the rust on the iron ingot had indeed disappeared. However, he hadn't witnessed the entire transformation and had missed the "moment of miracle."

The Sword King's suspicions were immediately aroused, and he said to Wei Qingping, "You switched it, didn't you? When I wasn't looking!"

Wei Qingping looked completely innocent and said to the Sword King, "I didn't!"

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "One more time! One more time! I didn't see it clearly before! This time I'll keep my eyes fixed on it and won't look away!"

The Sword King was in the same mindset as a magician watching a performance; if he didn't see how the magic trick was done, he would ask the magician to do it again. Moreover, this was a close-up magic trick, so asking for an "encore" wasn't unreasonable.

Wei Qingping looked around at the pitch-black place and said to the Sword King, "Why do we have to do it again? There's nothing rusty anymore!"

The Sword King thought for a moment and said to Wei Qingping, "Then you try and see if you can turn it back to its rusty state."

Wei Qingping was speechless and said to the Sword King, "I don't know how!"

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "Oh dear, no one knows how to do it from the start. Why don't you give it a try!"

Wei Qingping pointed her finger at the iron ingot and shouted loudly, "Mā mi mā mi hūn! Transform! Rust!"

However, nothing magical happened.

The Sword King stared at the iron ingot for a while, then his mood suddenly plummeted. He said to Wei Qingping, "Nothing's changed..."

Wei Qingping spoke quickly to the Sword King, "Of course it hasn't changed. I already told you I wouldn't."

The Sword King still suspected that Wei Qingping had used magic, so he said to her, "If it were magic, it should have glowed. Since it didn't glow, it must have been magic. You must have used magic tricks."

Wei Qingping acted innocently and said to the Sword King, "You always treat me like a magician, that won't do! I've already told you I don't know magic, I don't know how this rust disappeared..."

After thinking for a moment, the Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "Since it's not magic, it seems your ability is one-way. There must be some logic behind it. Try it more often, and maybe you'll discover the ability to 'turn stone into gold'..."

Upon hearing the phrase "turning stones into gold," Wei Qingping suddenly became interested and exclaimed, "Really? You'll be rich!"

What's about to happen is the much-anticipated "money-grubbing" phenomenon. For some people, the motivation for doing things is actually quite simple: money.

Without hesitation, Wei Qingping picked up a stone beside her and shouted, "Turn it into gold!"

So what happened? Of course, nothing changed, which means Wei Qingping's "cultivation" wasn't enough. Just kidding. Even if it's a story from another world, it can't promote feudal superstition; anyone doing that is definitely unacceptable.

When Wei Qingping saw that the stone hadn't changed, she started to panic. She shouted loudly at the stone, "Turn into gold! Turn into gold!"

As you can imagine, the stone remained unchanged.

Wei Qingping suddenly realized that the "password" might be wrong, so she said to the stone, "Ma Mi Ma Mi Hong! Turn into gold!"

So, even after the "password" was added, the stone remained unchanged.

Wei Qingping threw the stone down and said to the Sword King, "No! You're lying!"

The Sword King had been speechless for a long time. He said to Wei Qingping, "I was just using an analogy. You're a money-grubber, aren't you?"

Wei Qingping was still unwilling to give up, thinking that perhaps she had been too greedy. So, she picked up another, smaller stone and whispered, "Turn into gold, turn into gold..."

The Sword King couldn't take it anymore and said to Wei Qingping, "Alright! Stop nagging. You're a prophet, how can you still be so greedy? It's not befitting your status, you know!"

Wei Qingping threw the stone in her hand, muttering to herself, "Magicians can turn blank paper into banknotes, but unfortunately I'm not a magician."

At this moment, Wei Qingping started thinking about becoming a magician again, of course, still for the money.

Just as the Sword King was pondering the logic behind Wei Qingping's abilities, Wei Qingping, bored out of her mind, started playing with iron ingots using a magnet. She would separate the two objects, then attract them back together, then separate them again.

The Sword King pondered this for a long time, but couldn't come up with a solution. The only information he knew was that Wei Qingping could remove the rust without using any magic. Because he knew so little, he couldn't possibly imagine it was related to Wei Qingping's "earth elemental blessing."

The Sword King was surprised, which was understandable. After all, he didn't know that Wei Qingping's "resurrection" was also related to the "earth element blessing" on her. If he knew the correct answer to the "resurrection," he wouldn't be racking his brains like this now.

The Sword King suddenly said to Wei Qingping, "Speaking of longswords, the old king actually taught me a particularly useful move, and I'll teach it to you."

Wei Qingping wasn't really in the mood to practice swordsmanship, so she said to the Sword King, "Why are we suddenly talking about this? We can't see it here, so we can't learn it."

The Sword King scolded Wei Qingping, saying, "You're not studious at all; you're not what a 'top student' should be like."

Wei Qingping said to the Sword King, "I am already a prophet, I don't need to be a top student anymore."

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "Didn't you want to go back to your original world? Are you sure you can still be a prophet after you go back? There is no magic in our world."

Wei Qingping said to the Sword King, "But learning to fight might not be useful, after all, we are a country ruled by law."

The two of them each had their own "reasons," but in the end, Wei Qingping still obediently followed the swordsman king and learned from him.

After arguing for a while, the two of them put the torches up against the wall and stood up.

Wei Qingping, who had already drawn her longsword from its sheath, was still making a final "struggle." She asked the Sword Master King, "If you can't even see this clearly, what are you planning to teach?"

The swordsman king solemnly uttered two words: "Clang! Sword!"

Wei Qingping opened her eyes wide and asked the Sword King, "Collapse Sword? Then, what is this 'Collapse Sword'?"

The Sword King picked up his greatsword and swung it a few times. He told Wei Qingping, "Just from the name, you can get a sense of it. It's about using technique to knock your opponent's weapon out of their hand."

Wei Qingping then asked the Sword King, "Oh! Does it mean to strike hard?" As she spoke, she made a striking motion with the spine of her sword.

The Sword King sighed softly and told Wei Qingping, "I already said it's about using technique, but without strength, it won't work either. The essence of the Crushing Sword is a defensive technique, which can be used with both greatswords and longswords. However, it's more convenient to use this move with a longsword."

Wei Qingping couldn't understand it, so she asked the Sword King, "Isn't it about hitting hard? How can you defend yourself and knock your opponent's weapon out of their hand?"

The Sword King told Wei Qingping, "Of course, I can't guarantee 100% success! Whether it can be knocked out of your hand depends on the actual situation in battle." After saying that, he first assumed a stance with both hands holding the sword.

Wei Qingping frowned and said to the Sword King, "You just said it as if you could definitely do it..."

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "You've learned the idiom 'practice makes perfect,' right?" Then, he said to Wei Qingping, "Come on! You can't learn just by talking. Take your sword and strike me with all your might!"

It was so dark that there were only torches standing by the wall. If the Sword King turned his head slightly, Wei Qingping would not be able to see his face at all.

In short, Wei Qingping's attitude was very negative at this moment. She said to the Sword King, "I'll slash, and you block. What's the point of practicing that?"

The Sword King had been posing with his greatsword for a long time, but Wei Qingping was too busy chatting to move.

The Sword King was getting impatient and said to Wei Qingping, "Alright, hurry up. Just swing it over first."

Although Wei Qingping was very unwilling, she still did as she was told.

Suddenly, a flash of sword light appeared in the darkness, followed by sparks and a crisp "clang!"

Wei Qingping was startled by the sudden sparks and the sound of metal clashing. She cried out, "Wow!" and almost dropped the sword in her hand, but thankfully it didn't slip from her grasp.

It was too dark, and apart from being blinded by the sparks, Wei Qingping couldn't see what was happening. It was only by the dim light from the firelight by the wall that she was able to find the Sword King again.

The Sword King was no longer in his previous position, indicating that he had moved slightly.

Wei Qingping's right hand, which was holding the sword, felt a little numb. Looking bewildered, she asked King Jianhao, "What did you do? How did you deflect my sword..."

The Sword King told Wei Qingping, "It definitely bounced off, otherwise I would have been cut. This is the 'Crushing Sword'. Watch carefully and learn well." Then, he said to Wei Qingping, "Not bad! You didn't even drop the sword from your hand."

Wei Qingping deliberately put on a brave face and said to the Sword King, "I did feel a shock, but it wasn't enough to make me lose my grip."

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "Alas, that's because I haven't practiced this move well enough. Besides, as long as I can deflect your sword, I can counterattack."

Wei Qingping said to the Sword King, "If you're countered the moment you're knocked back, it's indeed difficult to dodge. Hmm? Is this what they call 'having an opening' in some period dramas..."

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "That's right! Your sword-wielding hand has been knocked away, leaving your front completely exposed!" He then added, "Even if I were wielding a longsword, I could still stab your wrist, and you would lose your weapon."

Wei Qingping lowered the sword tip downwards, examining the blade by the firelight, thinking to herself, "Won't this sword bend after being struck like that..."

Strangely enough, Wei Qingping suddenly started to treat the "Seven Star Sword" as if it were her own, and began to "cherish" it.

Seeing that the "teaching" was going smoothly, the Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "Now it's your turn to try."

Wei Qingping was currently feeling sorry for the sword in her hand. She said to the sword-wielding king, "I don't know how."

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "I've already shown you how to do it once, so just do it the same way."

Wei Qingping said to the Sword King, "It's too dark here, I couldn't see clearly."

The Sword King paused for a moment, then said to Wei Qingping, "That's true. When you slashed at me just now, I barely saw it. If I hadn't seen the incoming sword clearly, I probably would have been accidentally injured. Well then, I'll teach you after we get out of here."

Wei Qingping complained in a low voice, "I knew it, they had to teach here..."

The swordsman king, having slung his greatsword back over his shoulder, said to Wei Qingping, "Put away the iron ingots and magnets you just took."

After Wei Qingping sheathed the "Seven Star Sword," she also put the iron ingot and magnet that she had previously placed by the wall into her bag.

After packing up his things, the Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "We've stayed here for a while. We should look for a way out."

Then, the Sword King instructed Wei Qingping, "I'll continue exploring towards that box, you explore the other side. Let's see who can find the way out first."

Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "What if we can't find it at all?"

The Sword King told Wei Qingping, "Isn't that obvious? Of course we'd have to climb back if we couldn't find the way." As he spoke, he pointed to the hole in the wall, which was the path they had come from.
