Volume 1: This is a world that speaks with weapons Chapter 20: A Pitiful Victory and a Good Harvest
Although Qi Ji's Wuming sword missed the target or was slightly avoided by the giant swordsman, it still caused huge damage to the opponent.
The giant swordsman, whose wound was hit by Qi Ji's heavy punch, trembled all over, and then seemed to let out a silent cry, then turned sideways and hit Qi Ji's chest hard with his shoulder.
Click.
It seemed like the sound of a broken bone. Qi Ji groaned and was thrown three or four meters away. He rolled several times on the grass. When he stopped, he felt a piercing pain in his chest and ribs.
But he did not dare to pause for a moment. He quickly stood up and rushed towards his weapon. The hurried footsteps behind him also indicated that the giant swordsman was approaching!
Get close, duck and pounce! The target is the straight knife stuck diagonally in the ground!
The whistling sound of the sword blade cutting through the air passed by the back of his head, followed by a sharp pain in Qi Ji's back. His clothes were torn, and a hideous wound was carved on his back.
But for him who had "died" nearly a hundred times, this was just a minor injury!
Gripping the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, Qi Ji rolled over and when he stood up again, he was facing the giant swordsman.
He held the straight knife tightly, with blood dripping from the broken knuckles, quickly dyeing the handle red, and the clothes on his back were quickly soaked by the gushing blood.
The severe pain made Qi Ji's face slightly mad. He smiled fiercely at the giant swordsman and uttered provocative words.
"Hey! You're almost exhausted, it's time to let me win!"
The giant swordsman was indeed in a very bad condition. Although Qi Ji's attack with the Wuming Sword did not pierce his body, it left a huge wound under his right rib, and it also scraped the gap between the ribs, injuring his liver.
The pain caused by liver damage is so severe that it is absolutely unbearable for ordinary people.
But he was just a projection created by the Tower of Transcendence . He could neither speak nor cry out in pain. He just slowly turned sideways, holding the two-handed sword in both hands and raised it flat on the sides of his face, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Qi Ji's head, and assumed the Bull Pose.
Qi Ji took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing. He forced his right hand, which was trembling so much that it could hardly hold the knife, to perform a set of handsome sword moves. He then switched the weapon to his left hand with a sense of ritual and then assumed the starting posture of the Wuming Sword.
"Big guy, although it may seem a bit cheating to say this, even though my dominant hand is this right hand that is so injured that I can hardly hold a knife, but..." Qi Ji chuckled and talked to himself.
"This Wuming Sword is the only one I can use with my left hand!"
After saying this, the two sides approached each other quickly and then launched their attacks with all their strength!
Kill! The weapons of both sides attacked brazenly!
The giant swordsman twisted his sword and slashed it upwards quickly!
Qi Ji stepped on the ground with his left foot and stabbed out with his left hand's straight knife at great speed!
Swish.
A right arm flew up and spun, then fell to the ground dejectedly. Qi Ji actually took the initiative to use his right hand to block the opponent's slash!
The next moment! Qi Ji stabbed with the Wuming Sword and rushed into the giant swordsman's arms, and the tip of the sword successfully sank into the opponent's lungs!
Qi Ji gritted his teeth, and pressed his shoulder, which had lost his right arm, against the giant swordsman's chest. He exerted force with his left hand, pushing the straight knife that had already pierced into his opponent's body deeper. The bloody tip of the knife pierced through the giant swordsman's body and suddenly stretched out a long section from behind him!
The giant swordsman trembled all over, then went limp.
The body gradually disintegrated and quickly turned into mist which was absorbed by Qi Ji.
As the mist was absorbed, blood continued to spurt out of the broken arm, and Qi Ji, who was almost unable to stand, recovered to his best condition in an instant.
[Kill the target, take away 100 points of spirituality, and convert the excess spirituality into transcendence]
[Current Transcendence 95, Spirituality 100/100]
Just like when Sakura Rurouni was killed, a glowing red crystal floated where the giant swordsman disappeared.
Qi Ji reached out and picked up the red crystal, and words appeared in the mist.
[Master's Strike·Proficiency: Since its inception, Meyer's swordsmanship has followed the concept of integrating offense and defense to the end]
As the words disappeared, the red crystal turned into a stream of light and penetrated into Qi Ji's brows.
A scene quickly appeared in his mind, showing an old, skinny Nordic swordsman practicing several core moves of Meyer swordsmanship.
Split strikes, glancing strikes, furious strikes, cross strikes, curved strikes... these are all the most offensive and defensive sword moves in Meyer's swordsmanship.
In a trance, he successfully mastered the core skills of Meyer's swordsmanship.
Then, the whole world was engulfed in thick fog, and a strong feeling of dizziness came over me.
…
Early in the morning, Qi Ji opened his eyes and sat up, an incredibly abundant energy surging from his body.
[Current transcendence degree 95, whether to use it to improve skills]
The words formed by the blood mist also appeared in Qi Ji's field of vision at the same time. Qi Ji looked at the words appearing in front of him carefully.
[Transcendence: Qi Ji]
[Transcendence: 95]
[Spiritual: 100/100]
[Skill: Wuming Sword·Missing (0/30)]
[Skill: Master's Strike·Proficiency (0/10)]
This time, Qi Ji did not rashly use the transcendence level to improve his skills. Instead, he planned to test the degree to which different transcendence levels would increase his body functions before making a decision.
Ten minutes later, Qi Ji finished washing up and came to the hotel's gym, which was empty except for the administrator, without even having breakfast.
He still decided to test those basic indicators.
Just to mention briefly, after joining the club, he has been training according to the training plan formulated by Zhang Zizai , and strength training has always been the focus. After half a month of strength training, his several strength indicators have been greatly improved compared to the initial test.
He still remembers that when he was first tested, his squat and deadlift reached nearly 150 kg, and his bench press reached around 110 kg.
Now, his transcendence level has skyrocketed from 22 to 95. How much of a change will it bring to him?
Although there was no one to help in the hotel's gym, it was surprisingly well-equipped with all kinds of fitness equipment. Qi Ji quickly tested his current strength limit on his own.
The result made him ecstatic!
Squat and deadlift reached 240 and 235 kg respectively, and bench press reached 172 kg!
You know, he has just started strength training! According to the simple reference suggestions given by the coach, after long-term strength training, the indicators for squats and deadlifts for normal adult men are about 2 times their body weight, and bench presses are 1.5 times their body weight.
With a simple calculation and reasoning, he was able to estimate the enhanced effect that "transcendence" brought him.
The 95 points of transcendence really enhanced his physical fitness by more than 90% on top of his basic strength!
To put it bluntly, Qi Ji is now a true "superman".
Qi Ji was surprised for a moment, but quickly calmed down. After all, the test was not over yet.
He opened his "panel", consumed 10 points of transcendence, and upgraded the skill "Master Strike" to the maximum current level.
[Transcendence: 95 → 85]
[Master's Strike·Proficiency (10/10) → Master's Strike·Proficiency (0/30)]
As his body's overflowing energy decreased slightly, Qi Ji's understanding of the master strikes of Meyer's swordsmanship increased again. Now, he even felt that he could rely on these master strikes to fight against Zhao Wuduan, who was good at Meyer's swordsmanship, without losing in terms of technology.
