Sword Waifu - Chapter9

Sword Maiden Qingfeng; Sword Maiden White Iron; Sword Maiden Hundred Refinements; Sword Maiden Green Peak; Sword Maiden White Iron; Sword Maiden Hundred Refinements; The most common sword maidens in this world were the sword maidens that were most artificially forged. At the same time, they were also the first three sword maidens in "Sword Maiden Online". Regardless of whether it was in reality or in the game, 90% of sword wielders started their life as sword wielders under the company of these three sword maidens.

Now, Guhan needed to choose one of the Verdant Edge Sword, White Iron Sword, and Hundred Refined Sword to become his first Sword Maiden.

Choosing the first Sword Maiden was the most crucial and important moment in the entire dungeon. Once one was chosen, it would accompany the player for a long time until the player found an ancient sword grade Sword Maiden to replace them.

Guhan glanced at the three swords. As his eyes moved, the detailed attributes of the three swords appeared in Guhan's vision.

… …

As mentioned before, the sword element points were the most important attribute of every wielder. This attribute not only determined whether the wielder could resonate with the Sword Maiden, but also determined whether the wielder was strong or not.

First, it was known as the three basic abilities of the Sword Maiden: damage, defense, and agility.

It might not be clear what it meant at first glance, but it was very simple. It determined the value of the sword element.

Take Guhan and the Green Edge Sword as an example:

Assuming that Guhan had 100 sword element points, the Green Edge Sword's Sword Maiden form would have a damage ratio of 0.012. In other words, when the Sword Maiden fought in her Sword Maiden form, the damage of each strike would be 100 x 0.012, which was 1.2 damage. Every strike that hit Yuan Kou would consume 1.2 of Yuan Kou's HP.

On the other hand, the Guardian Competition determined the strength of the protective shield on the sword wielder and the Sword Maiden. When the Sword Maiden and the sword wielder synchronized, the surface of their bodies would automatically be covered with a layer of interconnected protective shield, which was used to resist the damage caused by the Yuan Shen.

The Green Edge Sword's defense ratio was 0.15, so the strength of the barrier was 100 x 0.15, which was 15 points.

In other words, the barrier could block 15 points of damage from Yuan Kou. Once the barrier's strength was depleted, the barrier would disappear. Yuan Kou's damage to the Sword Maiden would directly consume the Sword Maiden's durability, while Yuan Kou's damage to the wielder would directly hit the human's fragile body. At this time, the wielder was no different from a normal human. If they were hit, they would basically die.

In reality, most of the deaths of the wielder were due to the barrier being broken and the physical body being destroyed.

Agility, on the other hand, was a relatively broad statistic. It determined movement and attack speed, as well as dodging and blocking abilities. Moreover, there were different levels of buffs for the Sword Maiden and the wielder.

When used on the Sword Maiden, movement speed = 100 x 0.109 = 10.9 m/s, attack speed = 10 x 0.109 = 1.09 sword/s, block rate = 1 x 0.109 = 10.9% block rate.

When used on the wielder, movement speed = speed x 10 x 0.109, attack speed = attack speed x 10 x 0.109, block rate = block ability x 10 x 0.109.

Simply put, as long as these attributes were based on the wielder's own ability, the agility ratio would only give the wielder a 109% bonus.

Apart from the three basic abilities, the value of Sword Essence also determined another important attribute — Sword Aura value.

The Sword Aura value conversion was not as straightforward as the three major competitions. One Sword Essence value was equivalent to 100 Sword Aura.

The effect of Sword Aura was similar to mana. Many of the Sword Maiden's skills required Sword Aura to be used. However, it was worth noting that Sword Aura could not be recovered during battle. It would only slowly recover after the battle. It would take about a day for Sword Aura to recover to its full value … That's right, eating could effectively increase the recovery speed of Sword Aura.

… …

After understanding the three major competitions and the Sword Aura value setting, he could basically understand the attributes of the three treasured swords.

The basic attributes of each of these three treasured swords were similar. They belonged to the same level, but they all focused on different things. They belonged to the three most mainstream Sword Daos of the Sword Maiden.

Among them, the Azure Edge Sword was a Martial Dao treasure sword. It was a more comprehensive Sword Dao. Its damage ratio, defense ratio, and agility ratio were all very close. It had decent damage, decent defense, and decent agility.

The Azure Edge Sword's Martial Dao characteristics and skills were also very comprehensive. It had damage skills, defense skills, and recovery skills. It belonged to the all-rounder Sword Dao. Among the three mainstream Sword Daos, the Martial Dao had the most Sword Maidens.

The White Iron Sword was a Confucian treasure sword. It had high defense, low damage, and low agility.

The Confucian treasure sword's skills were more focused on party enhancement, area weakening, and recovery.

Its low agility meant that the Confucian treasure sword's close combat ability was slightly weaker. However, its survivability was top-notch, and it could provide a lot of support for the party. This was the role of a Confucian sword wielder.

Among the three mainstream Sword Daos, the Confucian sword had the second most Sword Daos.

The Hundred Refined Sword was a Sword of the Murderous Dao. It used almost no defense in exchange for extremely high damage and agility ratio.

Stealth was their core skill. Explosive single target damage was the reason for their existence. An unscientific sure-kill attack could turn the tables in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

The Sword Maidens of the Murderous Dao were just like their names. They were sword wielders who focused on killing.

They would often hide in the darkness and deal fatal damage to their enemies at the most critical moment of a battle.

However, these powerful lethality were obtained by sacrificing their own defense. With a swing of the sword, it was either you die or I die.

The Sword Maidens of the Murderous Dao had the least number of Sword Daos because they had the highest mortality rate.

…

Before Guhan, every new player who reached this stage, regardless of talent, background, or background, had to choose one of these three swords to become their first Sword Maiden.

However, Guhan didn't have a choice. He only glanced at the Azure Edge Sword, the White Iron Sword, and the Hundred Refined Sword. He didn't need any of these three treasured swords.

This was because Guhan had a better choice, one that he had planned for 12 years.
