Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 8: Holy Cloth
Early the next morning, Qi Ji opened his eyes.
His emotions are stable.
There was no way. This Abyss Walker was indeed strong enough. He had already anticipated the outcome of being defeated when they started fighting.
Firstly, although the Abyss Walker is in human form, his height is almost three meters, much taller than a normal human. With this body size, even though he does not look very strong, his strength and speed are obviously much higher than those of himself who has activated the Demon Subduing Power.
And if he had not been eroded by the "abyss" he mentioned, that is, that ball of horrifying black air, turning him into a crazy beast with only the ability to attack madly, this swordsman who was obviously a veteran with superb skills would probably be able to kill him with just one encounter.
However, although the black energy made his mind crazy, it also seemed to make his strength and speed stronger, and seemed to have given him a kind of immortality to some extent.
At the moment of the final battle between the two sides, the Abyss Walker just instinctively raised his sword to block Qi Ji's knife that was slashing towards his head. He did not dodge at all the vital parts of his body and took all of Qi Ji's attacks.
Qi Ji used Wuxiang's strongest burst and successfully cut through the Abyss Walker's armor, causing fatal injuries to several of his vital parts.
If it were a normal person, even if he didn't die immediately, he would definitely not be able to move anymore.
However, the Abyss Walker continued to move as usual as if he was not injured, and eventually stabbed Qi Ji to death with a single sword strike.
It can only be understood that under the strengthening of the black gas, a fatal injury to an ordinary person may not be a big deal to an Abyss Walker - at least not to the extent of affecting his movements.
Oh, and there is also armor. With that full body armor, the Abyss Walker can be safe in normal confrontations even if he ignores Qi Ji’s attacks.
On the contrary, in many situations, Qi Ji had to give up the rare opportunity to attack in order to avoid being injured and killed, even if the opponent had an open goal and no defense.
Qi Ji reacted and realized that he should try to get a set of armor.
So he immediately got up, washed, and called Qiu Yue.
Qiu Yue seemed to have gotten up and was on standby, and was quickly connected within a few seconds after Qi Ji called.
"Good morning, Brother Qi. What do you want me to do?" Qiu Yue's voice on the opposite side sounded excited, as if he finally had work to do.
Qi Ji organized his words and said with a smile: "Well, I'll give you some money later, and you can go to the city to find a professional place to buy a few sets of full body armor of various types. Don't worry about the money, just pick the good ones."
Qiu Yue on the opposite side immediately agreed, without asking Qi Ji why he needed so many armors.
Nonsense, why are you asking so many questions about the boss? Besides, isn’t it normal for a big shot who plays military combat to like armor?
Qi Ji hung up the phone and transferred a large sum of money to Qiu Yue privately through the text messaging app, enough for Qiu Yue to buy ten sets of high-quality armor.
It’s better not to have the company reimburse this kind of personal consumption, it seems too stingy.
Anyway, after the contract was changed yesterday, the 70 million for the first year of the three-year medium-to-long-term contract has been deposited into his card, and now he is rich.
The money for the armor is not worth it at all.
As long as it can help me defeat the powerful enemies in the Tower of Transcendence, everything will be worth it.
After instructing Qiu Yue to find armor for him, Qi Ji tidied himself up, went downstairs and walked out of the apartment building, then turned right and arrived at the building of Zang Feng’s headquarters.
That’s right, the wealthy Zang Feng bought an apartment building next to his headquarters building in the Tianhai city area where every inch of land is valuable.
Most of them are rented out, and a small number of high-end apartments are used as supporting living for senior executives and elite players.
Qi Ji smiled and greeted everyone along the way, and finally arrived at Zhang Zizai's office after his facial muscles were almost stiff from laughing.
When I pushed the door open and went in, I saw Zhang Zizai drinking tea and chatting with Du Xishan.
He couldn't help but teased, "Lao Zhang, Lao Du, you two are a little too idle, aren't you?"
Zhang Zizai laughed when he saw Qi Ji, and immediately waved him to come over and sit on the sofa. He then disinfected the tea set for him and poured him some tea.
Qi Ji looked with disdain at the teacup that had just been washed casually with hot water.
Lao Zhang is now at the peak of his career, with a very busy business. He receives countless high-level partners who come to brag and chat every day, and countless mouths drink from this teacup every day.
They don’t think this is disinfection, do they?
Resolutely refusing to drink tea, Qi Ji reached out to take the bottle of mineral water on the coffee table and unscrewed it: "I like to drink water."
Zhang Zizai glared at him and said with a smile, "Young people don't know good things. This tea of mine is a special tea cake sent by a good friend. You can't buy it even if you have money."
Wow, it’s still a three-no product.
Qi Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense with Lao Zhang, so he got straight to the point: "When do we leave for Shen'an City?"
Zhang Zizai sipped his tea and said calmly, "I have arranged for the secretary of the general office to buy the plane ticket. The flight is at 5pm and will leave here for the airport at 3pm on time."
Seeing Zhang Zina's calm and composed look, Du Xishan also teased, "Qi Ji, look at this old Zhang, isn't he becoming more and more like a leader?"
Qi Ji stroked his chin and looked at Zhang Zizai pretentiously, then nodded and said, "Indeed, Mr. Zhang is becoming more and more stylish."
Zhang Zizai was a little overwhelmed by the two people's teasing, so he laughed and cursed a few times.
Qi Ji chatted with the two middle-aged men for a while, but felt it was boring because he and they were not on the same train of thought.
I simply said goodbye and went to the practice ground downstairs, and sure enough, I saw Yanqing practicing the Wuming Three-Section Thrust seriously.
Qi Ji moved closer and observed for a while, and found that this kid had probably secretly practiced until very late yesterday. Now he can use the first two thrusts more than six times out of ten. As long as he continues to practice, improving the completeness while strengthening the power and speed, it is expected that he will be able to use it in actual combat soon.
So he simply continued to help Yanqing correct his mistakes and speed up Yanqing's progress.
The morning passed quickly.
When it was almost eleven o'clock, Qiu Yue called.
Wasn’t this guy helping him collect armor? Why did he come here now?
Qi Ji picked up the phone curiously: "What's wrong, Qiu Yue?"
Qiu Yue on the other side said hesitantly, "Brother Qi, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm undecided about something regarding the armor, so I came to ask for your opinion."
Qi Ji smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Yue: "I saw a special set of armor here. The seller plans to..."
…
Half an hour later, in an armor shop in the center of Tianhai City.
Qi Ji pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Yan Qing who came to watch the fun.
Qiu Yue, who had been waiting in the store, came over immediately: "Brother Qi, this way, come and take a look."
Qi Ji nodded and followed with Yan Qing.
The two followed Qiu Yue's instructions and walked slowly in the store, passing by many display windows, all of which were filled with exquisitely shaped armor, some classical and some modern.
There are various Nordic-style plate and leather armors, as well as Sakura-style armor helmets. Of course, there are also many classic historical armors of Daxia, such as infantry armor and Ming Guang armor.
There was an expensive price tag on the side of the display window for each piece of armor, and many of the prices were over tens of thousands of yuan.
Along the way, with Yan Qing shouting excitedly, the two followed Qiu Yue to the back of the store. As Qiu Yue raised his hand and pointed to one of the windows, Qi Ji looked up and was stunned.
In this window, there is a gorgeous golden armor with a style completely different from real armor.
Yan Qing couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't this the golden armor? It's the divine armor!"
Qi Ji's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the armor in the window that was highly consistent with the one in the animation.
A goat-horned helmet, a three-quarter upper body armor that imitates the structure of Nordic plate armor but is more gorgeous in shape, three-layer shoulder armor with pointed corners, almost fully covered arm and leg armor, and even a pair of wings that have no practical value but are extremely gorgeous hanging on the back of the armor.
That’s right, just as Yan Qing said, what’s in the window is the armor worn by the Saint Seiya, one of the twelve zodiac signs with the strongest fighting power in the classic anime on Earth.
It is still a relatively unpopular Saint Seiya, a highly restored set of Capricorn Saint Seiya Gold God Cloth!
I have to take this guy down!
The first time Qi Ji saw this set of holy clothes, he made up his mind.
He turned to look at Qiu Yue and asked, "You just said on the phone, how much does the boss want for this set of holy clothes?"
Qiu Yue scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly, "It's very expensive. The boss asked for 3.2 million!"
Qi Ji couldn't help but touch his chin. It was just a set of showpieces for COS, but the boss had the nerve to ask for 3.2 million?
Are you treating your guests like pigs?
At this moment, a middle-aged uncle walked over from the other side quickly. He said with a smile: "I made the offer to him."
Qi Ji looked at him and said with a smile: "Boss, isn't the price you're selling this set of holy clothes a bit too high?"
The boss shook his head and said with a smile: "Not expensive, not expensive at all?"
Qi Ji smiled and said, "Isn't this expensive? Can't this thing make the person wearing it awaken the seventh sense?"
The seventh sense is a term used in the animation where this holy cloth originated. It is said to be the source of all great powers that transcend the five senses that humans normally possess and the sixth sense known as superpowers .
A person with the seventh sense, wearing the divine cloth, has the strongest level of combat power in this anime, second only to the eighth sense.
In short, when it comes to anime, the power system is just nonsense.
Seeing Qi Ji's deliberate teasing and disdain, the boss laughed and said, "Of course the seventh sense doesn't exist, but the reason why this armor is worth the money is because it can be used in actual combat!"
Seeing the boss speak confidently and say wonderful words.
Qi Ji and the other two couldn't help but look at each other.
This set of holy clothes has exquisite shape and gorgeous paint finish. It is exactly the same as the image in the animation. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a prop used for COS. How could it be used in actual combat?
Is this boss having some serious illness?
