Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

”Use the Skill Grandmaster Upgrade Scroll to upgrade Swordsmanship Mastery to LV.10.”

Yi Tian fixed his gaze on the black Skill Grandmaster Upgrade Scroll.

Yi Tian had glimpsed Sword Intent but ultimately did not comprehend it.

The further one progresses in the Sword Dao, the more challenging it becomes. Every step forward is a monumental leap.

The black scroll dissipated, merging into Yi Tian’s brow.

A surge of Sword Intent immediately filled Yi Tian’s Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, Yi Tian held no sword in hand, yet harbored one in spirit, sensing that everything around him was his sword.

Sword Intent lacks attributes; it is the will of the sword.

Yi Tian contained its form externally and its force internally, allowing it to integrate within him.

Yi Tian did not impose anything on the Sword Intent, for the sword has its own will.

Draw the sword, kill!

Drawing the sword is the process; killing is the result...

Another half hour passed.

”Congratulations, Lord, on upgrading Swordsmanship Mastery. Current Swordsmanship Mastery is LV.11. Using the sword for close combat increases Attack Power by 110%. Using Spiritual Power attacks enhances Spiritual Power by 60%.”

”Congratulations, Lord, on comprehending the First Layer of Sword Intent. When using the sword, sharpness +10%, pressure +10%. With the upgrade of Swordsmanship Mastery, Sword Intent also upgrades.”

The Celestial Dao Stone prompted.

Yi Tian touched the hilt of the Cyan Gang Sword but did not draw it.

His demeanor returned to tranquility; moments ago, he was sharp; now, he was withdrawn into the sheath.

Plain and unremarkable!

”Sharpness and pressure. Sharpness increases offensiveness, oppresses the enemy’s psyche. In essence, Sword Intent and Swordsmanship Mastery stack!”

Yi Tian was very pleased with this enhancement.

Desolate Beast Life Ice Crystal!

The night was deep, and Yi Tian was tireless.

Yi Tian would not rest until all was complete.

The Desolate Beast Life Ice Crystal was a large blue crystal block two meters high.

As long as Yi Tian dripped a drop of blood, the Desolate Beast Life Ice Crystal would shatter.

As to what ancient Desolate Beast it was, that remained unknown.

From his right hand, a sword qi was conjured out of thin air, cutting his left finger.

A drop of blood dripped onto the Desolate Beast Life Ice Crystal.

Instantly, the crystal emitted a red glow, awakening an ancient power.

Within three minutes, the Desolate Beast Life Ice Crystal shattered.

A water-blue beast, about the size of a calf, appeared before Yi Tian.

Its head resembled a deer, its tail a cow’s, a single deer antler adorned its head, with spiraled hair at the antler’s tip. Its eyes were as clear as crystal, its forehead like white jade. Its body was covered with blue scale armor, with blue fur growing from the gaps between the scales.

Its four legs resembled a horse’s, its hooves a cow’s.

The more Yi Tian looked at it, the more it resembled the mythical Qilin.

Category: Desolate Beast.

Race: Water Qilin.

Potential: SSS-level.

Stage: Growth Stage.

Strength: 950.

Endurance: 950.

Agility: 950.

Desolate Elemental Power: 900.

Talent: Desolate Water Yuan, SSS-level, using Desolate Water Yuan increases Spiritual Power by 100%. Can be released once every three hours.

Special Talent: Water Divine Beast, enhances three-dimensional capabilities by 100% when fighting in water.

”How peculiar, the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’ describes the Qilin as a Divine Beast, an Auspicious Beast. So, what’s the distinction between this Water Qilin as a Desolate Beast?”

”However, this Water Qilin is an adept at water combat. Its special talent has no time constraints, though limited, is precisely what the territory requires now.”

Yi Tian valued the special talent of the Water Qilin highly.

”Detected the presence of an SSS potential Desolate Beast in the territory, increasing territory points by 5000. Current territory points: 4398650.”

”Roar!”

The Water Qilin gave a gentle call to Yi Tian, showing affection.

Despite being a Desolate Beast, it was not fierce.

”Good! From now on, you’ll be Little Water, guarding my waters.” Yi Tian stroked the Water Qilin’s cool, beautiful body.

The Water Qilin did not need Water Mastery, as it naturally lived in water.

”Roar…”

The Water Qilin gave another gentle call.

Staying in water was its favorite activity.

The strength, endurance, and agility were all 950; Yi Tian planned to train the Water Qilin accordingly, to shield warships, serving as a barrier in water.

”The most thrilling moment has arrived.”

The Water Qilin bobbed its head, sitting on the side, as Yi Tian placed a small gate before him. His finger’s wound not yet healed, Yi Tian squeezed out another drop of blood, letting it fall.

Yi Tian did not go to the Celestial Prison.

Unlike last time with the Purple Star Gate, this summon was special, with an almost negligible risk of betrayal.

Moreover, their strength matched Yi Tian’s. Without weapons, they could not outmatch Yi Tian.

After all, the summoned historical figures had SSS as their highest talent.

The Bloodline Summoning Gate, upon contacting blood, expanded suddenly.

It ceased changing only when it reached ten feet in height.

The other side of the gate, much like the Purple Star Gate, emanated an enticing seven-colored glow.

”Cannot choose a dynasty, huh? So it’s a random summon from a mix of Huaxia’s history.”

”Hmm, might as well use the other two together.”

It took three hours to summon Guan Yu last time. No point in idly waiting.

Yi Tian placed the remaining two Bloodline Summoning Gates on the ground, squeezed two more drops of blood onto them.

The three gates stood side by side, shrouded in multicolor mist.

”Little Water, call me when the glow inside the gates fades.”

The Water Qilin, freshly emerged, brimmed with energy, needing no sleep.

”Roar!”

The Water Qilin let out a roar, squatting in front of the three Bloodline Summoning Gates, like a stone lion.

Yi Tian lay on a stone chair in the villa’s courtyard, quickly falling asleep.

Three hours later, it was time for Yi Tian to practice, waking naturally without the Water Qilin’s call.

Estimating the time was about right, Yi Tian approached the Bloodline Summoning Gate, the Water Qilin, like a guardian spirit, continued its vigil.

Seeing Yi Tian approach, it circled around him.

Yi Tian teased the Water Qilin while monitoring the Bloodline Summoning Gate.

”Buzzing…”

The first gate where blood was dripped trembled slightly.

Light flared, illuminating the night sky, then swiftly diminished.

A young man, robe-clad with long hair, emerged from the gate.

The youth stood around 1.85 meters, tall and robust, with a square face and delicate features.

He bore a reflective expression, much like when Guan Yu appeared.

Yi Tian could not discern who this was, using the Celestial Dao Stone’s power to investigate the person and his capabilities.

Yue Fei! It was Yue Fei!

Yi Tian’s heart trembled with excitement. This was the celebrated great hero.

Devoted to the Kingdom, Crimson-Flood Surge, Twelve Gold Medals, Unfounded Crime, Yue Family Army, Back Guard Army, Qin Hui, Emperor Gaozong of Song...

When these words gathered, they left anyone feeling despondent.

Scholars value not wealth, warriors value not their lives—such is the peace of the world!

Reclaim the Central Plains, directly attack the Yellow Dragon, return to the old capital, bring back the two emperors.

How many regrets? Not even the ’Crimson-Flood Surge’ can fully express them.

How many regrets? Vanished with an ’Unfounded Crime’...
