X-Dragon Era

The Gliding Axe was a commonly used treasure and also very easy to lose during attacks. Only a super expert could retrieve it by harnessing the axe's boomerang effect after throwing. For most people, whether they hit the enemy or not, they would essentially lose one with every throw.

In his previous life, the weapon set Xin Yun used was a nine-linked set of diamond-grade Gliding Axes; however, it lacked any activation. It included gloves, a leather pouch, and seven Gliding Axes. To assemble these items, Xin Yun had spent more than half of his wealth.

In some ways, the Gliding Axe was like a bullet, considered a consumable item, and therefore, it was mass-produced. This was only similar to how easily one could collect a fully activated suit of arrow quivers due to their large quantity.

Of course, one shouldn't underestimate the set of Gliding Axes that Yi Luo Xiang exchanged for, because... this was a fully activated nine-piece suit, and it wasn't of the bronze level, but silver-level!

A silver-grade fully activated suit, especially for Gliding Axes, couldn't even begin to compare with a full suit of crystal-grade armor—the value difference could be more than tenfold. Yet for Xin Yun, it was truly priceless, and he would have willingly traded even the ten-piece armor set for it.

Armor was indeed important, but once you deck yourself out like a moving fortress, a flying turtle, then it became much harder to improve your technique. Through the trials and tribulations of his past life, Xin Yun knew that it was only on the brink of life and death that one could break through and surpass oneself.

In an overly safe environment, it wasn't possible to cultivate formidable skills, as well as beast-like intuition and instincts.

This nine-piece fully activated suit not only allowed each Gliding Axe to unleash the power of gold-level equipment but most importantly, the overall effect of the suit could reach the power of crystal-level!

Looking at the seven or eight shining Gliding Axes in front of him, Xin Yun was so delighted that he almost wanted to cheer out loud. From the memories of his previous life, he knew the set effect of these Gliding Axes—double the return speed!

Perhaps not many in this world understood the intricacies of doubling the return speed, but just about anyone from Earth would grasp its significance.

First, with increased return speed, the centrifugal force generated during the return would also increase, greatly enhancing the destructive power of the Gliding Axe. Objects that could not be destroyed before might be damaged after the acceleration.

Secondly, after the increase in return speed, there would form an electric-saw-like cutting outer edge. Once it comes into contact with an obstacle, it would saw through it instantly with the sharp edge of the Gliding Axe. Therefore... being hit by such a Gliding Axe could likely mean being sawed in half, or having one's head fly off.

Its destructive power was no longer limited to what a Gliding Axe could do, it should rather be called a flying electric saw!

Lastly, and most importantly, once the return speed reached a certain level, the axe would enter a semi-invisible state. Everyone has seen airplanes; once their propellers spin to a certain speed, the blades become invisible, even the reflection disappears, entering a near invisible state. How could anyone dodge such an attack?

The effects of the suit were also diverse. Under the effect of this accelerated return, the power of the set of Gliding Axes not only surpassed gold-level, but it fully reached crystal-level, and with the addition of an almost invisible effect, its value was immeasurable.

Of course, if one used this Gliding Axe to directly clash with the suit Xin Yun sold, it wouldn't work because that ten-piece fully activated suit could defend against diamond-grade attacks, marking the biggest value difference between the two.

Furthermore, since it was a nine-piece fully activated suit, the Guiding Force for retrieval also increased ninefold. When launching the Gliding Axe, the Throwing Force added to the gloves also strengthened ninefold, so it was very unlikely for the Gliding Axes to be lost.

Under the strong guiding and pulling forces, those thrown Gliding Axes would almost always fly back on their own, returning to their proper place.

Gold's eyes shone as he caressed the seven gliding axes, his mouth almost split to his ears in glee. Without needing any praise, just looking at Gold's expression, Yi Luo Xiang already knew just how satisfied he was.

In fact, Yi Luo Xiang was quite confident herself, aside from the Ninth Grade Dragon Creation Stone and the King Level axe that Gold had exchanged for, there was probably nothing more suitable for him in the entire market than this set of gliding axes.

"Huff..." Jumping up from the bed all of a sudden, Gold couldn't wait to take out the leather case holding the seven gliding axes from the box. Upon closer inspection, the case even had a handspan-wide, very bold leather belt with huge antique bronze nails embedded in it—definitely manly and full of presence.

The belt was too long, winding around Gold's slender waist twice with a bit left over. You see... this was designed for adults, and it naturally seemed a bit inappropriate on an eight-year-old child.

Frowning slightly, Gold took off the belt. Although he really liked the belt, it was of no use if it didn't fit. Gold swapped it for his own belt and tied the pouch containing the gliding axes around his waist.

The pouch made of hard leather was ostentatious, resembling a handgun holster from Earth. Secured tightly to his body by Gold's belt, the body of the pouch rested on his waist and thigh.

Although it was a bit large relative to Gold's body, once he put it on, it looked so cool it was almost spiteful. Looking over, the dark yellow pouch, which should have been on an adult's waist, was now snugly wrapped around Gold's thigh, its seven shiny gliding axes radiating a chilling gleam from the front to the side near his buttocks.

Feeling ecstatic as he touched the gliding axes on his leg, although the pouch originally at his waist now wrapped around half his thigh, it seemed even more suitable. Even if it were tailor-made, it probably couldn't have been made more perfect for him.

Standing calmly, Gold's hand could easily reach down and grasp the shiny metal handle of a gliding axe, ready to fling it in an instant. From activation to swing, it could all be completed at lightning speed.

Not only was Gold ecstatic beyond words, even Yi Luo Xiang's eyes lit up as she watched. It was truly an impeccable fit—the pouch wrapped around Gold's right thigh, with seven bright gliding axes neatly arranged around it, both cool and dazzling, practical and user-friendly. Even as Gold grew, he could continue to use it. However...

that belt was a bit off and would need to be replaced at some opportunity to match Gold's current cool and dazzling style.

Standing in front of the bed, Gold swung his arms continuously, like a sharpshooter from the American West, practicing the motion of quickly drawing an axe and striking from a normal posture. The entire action was both concise and fluid, full of aesthetics, and most importantly, incredibly fast!

In his past life, gliding axes were Gold's weapon of choice, wielded for nearly a lifetime. His skill was unquestionable, honed over so many years—it was hard not to be proficient. Though currently his strength was small and energy low, thus not able to unleash much power, it was already sufficient for the current stage.

However, in his past life, Gold did have regrets. He was too busy chasing girls, goofing around with them, hardly finding time to practice the basics. Although his technique was not bad, his foundations were sorely lacking, hence his gliding axes had never been a threat to true experts.

If you compare the gliding axe to a gun, the same weapon in the hands of different people would have varying levels of power. In the hands of a sharpshooter, a few seconds could eliminate a dozen enemies, while in the hands of a fool, a dozen seconds might not suffice to take down a single one.

Having the chance to start over and possessing such a treasured Nine-Linked Fully Activated Set of gliding axes, Gold was full of lofty ambitions. This time he couldn't afford to waste his life away. No matter how alluring women could be, he would have to settle down and focus on perfecting his fundamentals. As for techniques, did he even need to practice them?

He already knew all the methods, what he lacked was simply the basics.
