Big Dipper was a Famous General Skill that stole another person’s stratagem. It could steal any stratagem temporarily, except Divine General Skills, and not even my Martial God was an exception to the rule. I finally understood why Lian Xin’s level and equipment were as amazing as they were.
"Faster, people! The boss is about to die!" Candlelight Shadow shouted.
I hurriedly backed a few steps before calling out to Murong Mingyue in a quiet voice, "Sis, heal me to full, will ya? I’m going to KS the boss!"
"Okay!"
Murong Mingyue waved her scepter repeatedly and healed me to full in no time. After I drank a Saint Spirit Potion and recovered my MP as well, I waited until the boss had 1% HP left and used Purple Dragon Howl. An unstoppable cyclone of energy instantly erupted toward the python!
Boom boom boom!
The purple dragon spun around the boss and ravaged it continuously, dealing a lot of high damage numbers. While this was going on, I rushed forward to grab the boss\'s loot the moment it died!
"Roar roar..."
As the boss dropped dead and exploded into a ton of loot, I moved like lightning and pulled a translucent spear away from Candlelight Shadow, Warsky and Little Piglet. The orange hue around its body was all I needed to see: this weapon had to be Heaven-grade at the very least. When Candlelight Shadow saw this, he slashed at me in an attempt to force me to drop the weapon. At the same time, Little Piglet stretched his hands forward to catch the equipment the second I let go.
I gripped the spear tighter because there was no time to even toss it into my bag. Reversing my grip on the Cyan Netherworld Sword, I parried Candlelight Shadow and Little Piglet’s attacks with a horizontal swing and withdrew at top speed.
"Lian Xin!"
The mage understood my meaning immediately, and several Origin Force Fields appeared around me in succession. Warsky, Little Piglet, Candlelight Shadow and the others were all forced to give up their chase after they were pushed back by the force fields.
On the other side, Lin Yixin also managed to nab a wristguard from the boss. She threw it into Clear Perfume’s hands and said, "Here, Qingqing! Heaven-grade leather armor wristguards!"
Her roomie immediately broke into a wide grin.
Swhoosh!
A column of golden light enveloped me as I leveled up again to Level 169. Beiming Xue walked up to me and asked, "What kind of spear did you get, big bro?"
I smiled and waved my hands over the weapon, and a hologram appeared above the translucent spear. The girls were stunned by what they saw. It was as impressive as the looks of astonishment on their faces might suggest—

Introduction: During the ancient times, many divine Veluriyam objects were transformed into divine weapons and used to combat the Gods’ enemies. However, the Veluriyam Spear was broken many times during the War of Gods and Demons. Later, Divine Smith Ouyang used a ray of light from the Seven Stars to concentrate its divine energy and complete the reforging of the Veluriyam Spear in one go. The Veluriyam Spear became reborn as the Seven Star Veluriyam Spear.

......
"God damn, another Immortal-grade spear?" Li Chengfeng licked his lips excitedly. "This baby’s Attack is way higher than Vienna’s Heaven Prison Spear! I reckon it’s the strongest weapon to date, tsk tsk! Lucky us!"
His elation only lasted a moment though. "Sigh, too many people were trying to grab the loot when the boss died. I didn’t get anything because Little Gui was blocking in front of me."
Gui Guzi complained, "Come on, I didn’t get shit either! That sonuvabitch Little Piglet’s a fucking monster when it comes to grabbing loot! It took him only a couple of swipes to grab an entire pile of gems!"
Xu Yang shook his head. "Well, Little Piglet’s only reason for being here is money. Can’t blame a man for using his life-defining skill, dude..."
Chaos Moon nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I can understand him completely."
Staring at the Veluriyam Spear, High Fighting Spirits asked, "So, how should we deal with this spear, Lu Chen?"
I looked at Lian Xin and said, "To be honest, the boss belonged to Lian Xin and her American friends, and we’re the ones who took it from them. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls don’t take from their own, so I would like to give this spear to Lian Xin. Is that okay with everyone?"
Gui Guzi clenched his fists and declared, "Everything for the guild, I say! By the way, how old are you, Lian Xin? Should I address you as big sister or little sister?"
Li Chengfeng immediately burst out in laughter. "Dude, are you seriously going to call her your big sister with that thick bush on your face? Not to mention that she looks 22 years old at most..."
Lian Xin nodded smilingly. "The dragon warrior is correct. I am 21 years old."
Li Chengfeng grinned at her. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No." Lian Xin giggled before shooting me a glance. "But I would advise you not to hold out hope toward me because my future boyfriend must survive big brother’s test. I won’t accept anyone who disappoints him!"
The gang of men instantly looked at me with bloodshot eyes and said—
"Do you like me, Lu Chen?"
"Check out my biceps, vice leader! Surely you think I’m strong enough to protect Sister Lian Xin, right?"
"Brother-in-law, there are no brothers I cherish more than you, promise..."
......
I couldn’t stop my facial muscles from twitching rapidly. What the fuck is wrong with these people? Where is their shame??
"Quiet."
I raised my hand to silence them before continuing, "While it is perfectly normal for someone to get married at a certain age, Lian Xin is only 21 years old. If she herself isn’t worried about her romantic life, who am I to interfere with something so intimate? Plus, Eve is the one you should please, not me! For one, it has nothing to do with me, and two, I’m not pissing off Beauty Lin again if it’s the last thing I do. Anyway, it’s time to form up, turn around and penetrate the Northern Alliance’s defense line! Our goal is to cut through Poplar Valley, march across White Horse Plains and occupy White Horse City! Also, I know Lian Xin’s ID is still hostile red, but no one is allowed to attack her, you hear me? She is one of our own, and she’ll be attacking White Horse City with us! Is that clear?"
"Yes, vice leader!" everyone answered in unison.
Lian Xin asked Beiming Xue sweetly as she stood beside her, "Shall we walk together, Beiming?"
Beiming Xue smiled right back. "Of course! We share the same big bro, so it’s only natural that we stick together! Let’s bully big bro every day after you come back, okay, Sister Lian Xin?"
Lian Xin replied excitedly, "Oh, definitely! I’ve been wanting to ravage him for as long as I’ve been away!"
"Heavens!"
The corner of my mouth twitched as I passed Lian Xin the Seven Star Veluriyam Spear. "Here, this spear is yours. Who are you going to give this to? Are there any Level 165 magic knights among your classmates?"
Playfulness danced behind Lian Xin’s eyes. "You don’t have to play such tricks with me, big brother. You know that the people I love the most after my parents are you and Sister He Yi. I already know Sister He Yi is a magic knight, and that her level is pretty high. Who else am I going to give this spear besides her? Oh right, where is she right now? Why haven’t I seen her today?"
"Oh, she left to attend a meeting in Shanghai. She’ll only be returning at night."
"I see. In that case, I’ll keep this Seven Star Veluriyam Spear for now. I’m going to hand it to her myself and give her a pleasant surprise!"
"Very good, very good..."
......
As we took off toward our destination, Lin Yixin and Snowy Cathaya followed at a suitable distance away from us. I noticed her looking Lian Xin up and down repeatedly with obvious jealousy.
This continued until Chaos Moon finally lost control of her grin and bumped me in the arm. "You see that, you lucky, lucky man? Heavens, I didn’t think a jealous Fruit Knife Goddess can be this cute~~"
I replied jokingly, "Control yourself, woman!"
After that, I sent Lin Yixin a message: "I love you, Yiyi..."
Lin Yixin replied, "Get lost. I would punch you right now if I could!"
"Hehe, don’t be mad, Lian Xin has been with us since Spirit of Grief, you know? She’s just a little sister to me, I promise~~"
"Like hell I’ll believe you!"
We continued our journey. Now that we had Lian Xin the super mage, the guild’s greatest weakness was no longer an issue. Ice Spiral Matrix + Dimensional Storm were a super AoE combo that could kill practically anything in their path, and I doubted that even a defense line formed by our own Dragonlight Cavalry could withstand it without casualties. If she cast them several times in a row, then not even the greatest priest in the world could heal them in time.
......
Suddenly, Lian Xin said to me, "There’s something I need to tell you, big brother Lu Chen."
"Sure, what is it?"
"I’ve actually applied to change my in-game nationality last week, but it was rejected. There are people in Eternal Moon New York headquarters who would do everything in their power to stop me from leaving Seven Star City. What should I do?"
I nodded understandingly. Lian Xin was so powerful that only an idiot would let her go without a struggle.
"Can you show me your class and main skills, Lian Xin?"
"Sure."
The next moment, a bunch of data appeared before me—
Phantasm of Stars
Origin Force Field: A 5x5 yard wide force field. Drives a unit away from the target area. Can be cast successively up to a maximum of 12 force fields. Lasts 10 seconds.
Gravity Trap: Trap. Slows the movement and attack speed of all targets within a 20x20 yard area by 75%.
Dimensional Storm: Summons wind blades from another dimension. Deals a ridiculous amount of damage to all targets within a 20x20 yard area.
Ice Spiral Matrix: Summons the icy power of the stars. Deals a ridiculous amount of damage to all targets within a 5x5 yard area.
Telekinetic Shield: A shield refined with the power of telekinesis. Boasts durability 100% higher than a normal Magic Shield. Drains MP continuously to maintain. Cannot be pierced by any skill.
......
Force field, gravity, dimensional, matrix and telekinesis were all famous sci-fi terms, and it was clear that the USA headquarters had gone through great efforts to create this king of classes. However, I bet they never expected that a Chinese girl would be the one to pick it up. That was why they would never allow Lian Xin’s account to be transferred to Sky City if they could help it.
