Volume 3 Chapter 5: Training of Combat Skills

In the early morning of the 9th, I made all the preparations, rode on the Black King, crossed the "Flying Fairy Bridge" on the Xianling River, and headed to the Kunlun Mountains to level up. At the same time, I also wanted to explore the distribution of monsters here, so that I could give good suggestions to my brothers in the alliance who would come here to level up and hunt for treasures in the future.
The Kunlun Mountains stretch for thousands of miles. Although I have been here during the internal test, I only had a cursory look and have not been to the depths of many valleys and peaks, so I only have a rough understanding of it. However, generally speaking, the monsters outside the mountains are around level 60-70, which is still very suitable for me to level up.
I rode away and soon arrived at Qixingling, the closest to the station. These seven peaks were named after the Big Dipper. They were not very high and not steep, but they were rich in strange peaks and rocks of various shapes, and many exotic flowers and plants, which were top-grade materials for refining medicine. It was also a Feng Shui treasure land. There were not many monsters here, so it was not a good choice for leveling up, but I was alone, so I could kill more than enough. If I went to a place where there were dense monsters, it might be dangerous!
I chose to climb the mountain from Kaiyang Ridge. When I was still at the foot of the mountain, a small group of "Akainu" pounced on me!
Akainu is a red monster that looks like a wolfdog. It is level 62. Normally, monsters of this level are not a big threat to me, but the prototypes of monsters in the Kunlun Mountains are mostly from "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and they are all goblins, fairy beasts and the like. In other words, they are not ordinary animals, but monsters similar to Western monsters, mainly attacking with spells. Magic defense is my weakness, so these monsters can cause considerable damage to me.
Akainu is a monster with the fire attribute among the five elements. When it opened its mouth, flames came towards me. I drove the Black King and rushed towards them with the fire balls. Akainu pounced on me, scratched, bit and bit me, which also caused fire damage. Before I could make a move, my HP of more than 2000 was reduced to only half!
But I was not in a hurry to take the medicine. I swung the Tiger Soul Divine Sword and slashed out the Hundred Splitting Thorns. Now this ultimate move has been trained to level 3. The total attack power of one attack is 700% of the normal attack! And the 10% life absorption of the Tiger Soul can replenish my life in one go! What is a magic weapon? This is the magic weapon. Among the more than 200 million players in the entire Fantasy, I am the only one who has the strongest equipment!
I injured six dogs with one move, and then I killed one of them with two more thrusts. I gained nearly 8,000 experience points. How awesome!
After killing two more, my true energy was fully accumulated, and I used a Hundred Breaking Stabs again, killing two dogs at the same time. There was still one left, and I estimated that only a bloody skin was left. It whined, tucked its tail between its legs, turned around and ran away, really like a dog that had lost its home!
How could I let him go? I slashed at him, but Akainu was so agile that I didn't get hit and he escaped my attack range. I was furious and swung my sword twice more. Finally, I caught up with Akainu and slashed into his spine, killing him instantly.
In addition to bringing me nearly 50,000 experience points, the six Akainu also dropped more than a dozen silver coins. This is all thanks to the cornucopia. For ordinary players, it would be good to get two or three silver coins by killing 10 monsters around level 60.
I continued to move forward, killing monsters along the way, and I had reached the halfway point of Kaiyang Ridge. The 10% attribute of Tiger Soul Double Absorption is really invincible. I haven't used a bottle of medicine so far, and my HP and MP have always been full. Instead, I earned hundreds of silver coins and obtained two white equipment of about level 50. If it weren't for the 100 storage spaces of the cornucopia, I would be worried about how to make room for the exploded items...
Halfway up the mountain, a new type of monster appeared: the Black Beak! This was a flying bird, small in size, but agile and ferocious, soaring and swooping, making it hard to defend against.
It is indeed a bit difficult for the knight to deal with this kind of monster. It often misses the target in one blow, flies thousands of miles away, circles in the air for a while, and then suddenly swoops down to attack. Before the knight obtains a flying dragon mount (only knights above level 80 can ride) and possesses the ability to fly, there is simply no way to deal with it. The only thing to do is to pay attention to the moment of its attack at any time and strike with all your strength in the hope of killing it instantly.
I am different. The Tiger Soul Blade can attack from a distance. Although its range is not as good as magic or bows and arrows, it is not difficult to cut the Black Beak once or twice before it flies out of the attack range. It's just that the blade's power is unstable and cannot be controlled manually. So I changed my weapon, took out the bow and arrow, and fired a series of arrows, turning several annoying Black Beaks into ice birds that fell to the ground (The Black Beak is also a fire monster, and using ice arrows has a damage bonus effect).
After all, using a bow and arrow is not as refreshing as using Tiger Soul. Fortunately, the number of Black Beaks is rare and they only appear occasionally, but the Akainu are more numerous. I urged the Black King, and the Tiger Soul in my hand flashed with golden light, and I enjoyed killing.
The two artifacts have enhanced my strength a lot. It used to take me a little more than two days to upgrade from level 41 to level 42. Now I'm upgrading from level 43 to level 44, which requires 15 million more experience points. But after two hours, I estimate that it will take me about 35 hours to upgrade. Coupled with the adjustment of the ratio of game time and real time, I can upgrade one level in 30 real hours!
After reaching the top of Kaiyang Ridge, there is a flat land where a large group of Akainu gathered. However, in my eyes, it only represents a few hundred thousand experience points... Without hesitation, I rushed into the pack of dogs, slashing left and right with Tiger Soul, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The monsters that were 19 levels higher than me were actually completely powerless to resist. This exhilarating feeling ignited my passion. With each slash, I became more and more adept at using Tiger Soul.
After the competition, I found a problem: Logically, with my level, strength, and equipment, I should be able to win easily, but in fact, I encountered trouble in several competitions. If I didn't have a second profession as an archer, if I didn't have the special attributes of Tiger Soul, it's hard to say whether I can win the championship. The fight with the Phantom of the Past was restrained by the character attributes, but in the battle with Ye Lingfeng, strictly speaking, I lost to him. If it weren't for the blade of Tiger Soul, he would definitely win by points!
Ye Lingfeng's strength does not rely on his level or equipment, but entirely on his own operating ability. If someone else were to use his account, they would never be able to reach that level!
When it comes to game operation, I believe I am not inferior to anyone, but why am I so much worse than Ye Lingfeng? That is because in reality, Ye Lingfeng should be a martial arts master.
In a fantasy game, the character attributes will not be affected by reality. The more power you allocate, the stronger the attack will be. Everyone is fair in this respect. However, this does not mean that the skills in reality are useless in the game. Although in the game, you can make any action allowed by the rules, such as seeing a knife coming, you want to bend down to dodge. If it is in reality, without long-term physical training, your body is not so flexible, and you may not be able to bend down. But in the game, as long as you have a flash of thought in your mind, this action can be made naturally, but how do you know what angle can achieve the best effect? ​​To counterattack the fastest? Only those who are proficient in fighting will understand the mystery; there are also martial arts masters who can observe some subtle movements of the opponent, such as the shrug of the shoulders and the tightening of the leg muscles, and judge in advance what kind of attack the opponent will make, which will undoubtedly give them a great advantage, not to mention the exquisite moves that have been passed down since ancient times, which can most effectively block and dodge enemy attacks, as well as deceive and kill opponents. The most important thing is the lightning-fast nerve reaction speed they have developed through their daily practice. The fighting movements do not require any thinking from the brain at all. It has become their instinct. In the highly realistic game of Fantasy, this instinct can help them bring out the characters' abilities perfectly!
I am just an ordinary person who lives and grows up in an ordinary environment. I went to middle school after elementary school, went to college after middle school, and was unemployed after graduating from college. I have never practiced any martial arts, and of course I don’t have the skills of Ye Lingfeng. But the game of Zero Degree Fantasy has deeply attracted me. It is so real that it is like giving you another life. I am intoxicated by the pleasure of being invincible, the only one in the world, and being able to defeat thousands of troops alone, which only appears in fantasy novels. Moreover, my ideal is to be the strongest and the most outstanding in Fantasy, and to reach "that step" mentioned by Wanxing. Although my strength is currently the strongest in Fantasy, and I have won the championship of the martial arts competition, I hope to be better than others in every aspect. Since I have discovered that others have strengths that I don’t have, I must catch up!
In reality, it is too late for me to start exercising and learning martial arts from now on. My body bones have been fixed, and no matter how much I exercise, it will not have much effect. But Fantasy provides everyone with the best platform, where everyone's physical condition is in the most ideal state. What I need to improve is only my nerve reaction and fighting skills. Although there is no one to guide me, I can explore, learn, and hone myself from actual combat, instead of just slashing and killing indiscriminately as before. Martial arts were originally created by people. Although I have not practiced them, I have read a lot of martial arts novels and understand the basic principles. Therefore, I believe that I can also find the most suitable fighting method for myself!
For the past few days, I have been constantly thinking about various techniques. For example, if the same monster attacks my waist from my left side, I will try various ways of dodging, such as leaning over, leaning back, and sideways, and calculate how much movement to dodge to just avoid the attack, and how to launch a counterattack as quickly and conveniently as possible. At first, I felt very tired. Fighting for half an hour consumed more energy than fighting monsters for half a day in the past. I often have to rest for a while after fighting for a while, otherwise I can't stand the feeling of mental exhaustion. However, although most of my time in the past few days has been spent on gang building, and I only occasionally fight monsters when patrolling the garrison, I have gradually found some tricks. My movements have become more concise and smooth, and I can kill monsters faster with fewer attacks. I know that I can't compare with Ye Lingfeng's level at all, but I believe that as long as I keep working hard, one day I will be able to reach or even surpass his level!
The Akainu rushed towards me one after another. I looked for the fleeting, hair-raising gap in their attacks, and at the same time calculated the direction and strength of my sword, so as to cause them maximum damage with the lowest cost. Of course, in most cases I would fail and could not grasp the best opportunity, but an occasional success would make me very excited. I repeatedly experienced and mastered the feeling of perfectly exerting my strength. As one Akainu after another fell under my sword, my movements became more and more skillful.
Suddenly, a monster three times the size of an ordinary Akainu appeared in front of me, and a series of missiles came out of its mouth. I concentrated my mind, shook my wrist a few times like lightning, and used Tiger Soul to strike several times, knocking away three fireballs. To knock away magic missiles with a weapon at a short distance like this requires a very high level of eyesight and extremely fast reaction speed, as well as precise control of the angle of the knife. I definitely couldn't do it a few days ago! But I was not satisfied with my achievements. First, the speed of the knife was still a little slow. I should have been able to strike a few more times. Second, two of my knives missed, and the two fireballs that were missed hit my chest, which shows that my micro-control ability is still lacking.
Two fireballs took away more than 500 HP of me. Although my magic defense is low, my attack power is far stronger than that of an ordinary Akainu. Coupled with its huge size, it goes without saying that it is a giant Boss Akainu. It is not enough to pose a threat to me, but its strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Akainu. It is a good opponent for me to hone my combat skills.
Apart from the fireballs that were knocked away and hit me, there were still four more flying towards me, and their distance and speed did not allow me to use my sword again. In the past, I would have resisted these missiles and rushed up to fight the opponent head-on, but now I had to find a better way to fight, and reducing the damage to myself was undoubtedly an important point. I swayed my body left and right twice on the horse to avoid two missiles, and then leaned over, and a fireball passed by my back. I couldn't avoid the last one, so I took it head-on.
In fact, I should have been able to dodge the last attack by leaning forward. Tiger Soul had a great chance to block another attack by swiping upward, and perhaps I would not have been hit . However, the so-called best fighting method is not just to dodge blindly. While defending, I also have to consider attacking! Following the action of leaning forward, I slashed out with a thrust and killed a small monster that pounced on me. At the same time, I rode forward and launched a charge, cutting off more than 5,000 blood from the Boss with one knife, giving it a "surprise".
After severely injuring the Boss, I did not pursue it relentlessly. Instead, I nimbly dodged the attacks of two monsters and made a light strike from bottom to top. Without using any skills, I won by relying on speed and grasp of timing, and cut the Boss's jaw. The giant Akainu, who had just come to his senses and was about to launch a counterattack, tilted his head and spewed a mouthful of fire into the sky. Then I turned the sword and blocked the pursuit of a monster behind me with a backhand sword. At the same time, my true energy was fully accumulated, and I did not hesitate to use the Hundred Rifts, which deducted more than 7,000 HP from it and killed the two monsters around it in seconds.
This series of actions was as smooth as flowing water, and even I was a little surprised. I knew that my fighting level had been improved to a higher level, and I couldn't help but feel excited.
But just this slight distraction caused me to immediately pay the price. Several monsters pounced on me from both sides. I reacted a little slowly and was grabbed and bitten several times. The Boss also released a wall of fire, and a raging fire suddenly ignited under my feet, burning both me and the Black King.
Damn, I am a fool to stay in the fire wall and fight monsters. I immediately instigated the Black King to rush out from the right side , swung the Tiger Soul, chopped off two small monsters, opened a passage, and rushed out of the encirclement of the monsters.
Next, I deployed guerrilla tactics, circling around the monster group to avoid a direct fight with the boss, but constantly slaughtering the monsters. There were only about thirty Akainu left, and it didn't take much effort for me to kill them one by one.
Looking at the giant Akainu standing alone, I felt like I had my life and death under my control. I had this feeling before, but it was definitely not as strong as it is now. After this period of training, I changed from passively seeing how the monster attacks and then thinking about how to respond to it to estimating the opponent's attack methods in advance. When the opponent actually takes one of these actions, I have already prepared a countermeasure, so my reaction speed is much faster. Of course, I can take the initiative to use certain tactics to force the opponent to fight in the way I expected, and play with the opponent at my fingertips, but I am far from being able to do that at the moment.
The boss moved, giving up long-range attacks and suddenly arching its body. I knew it was going to jump up and attack me from the air, so I immediately put one hand of Tiger Soul in my arms and placed it flat on my chest. Sure enough, the giant Akainu jumped into the air and pounced on me. I took advantage of the situation and slashed from left to right, aiming diagonally upward, leaving a long scar on its soft abdomen. The abdomen was the weak spot of Akainu. This attack caused double damage and wound tearing. The effect of wound tearing was also twice as much as normal, deducting 300 health points per second!
This time, I didn't chop with all my strength like I did in the past, but just the right direction, injuring the giant dog. Because I left myself some room, my body was able to dodge immediately without having to catch my breath. I leaned slightly to the right and avoided the giant dog's attack. The giant dog fell behind me, but I was unharmed .
Both parties turned around at the same time, and I noticed that the giant dog was pushing the ground with its hind legs (I didn't know how to observe this kind of details before), and I instantly realized that it wanted to rush up to the ground and bite my calf, so I tapped the horse's belly with my right leg. Black King immediately jumped to the left, just avoiding the giant dog's lightning bite. At the same time, my Tiger Soul chopped down on its head, adding another scar on its back.
After fighting for five or six minutes, I easily killed the giant dog. Although I could have ended the battle faster if I had used a hard-fighting style, I knew that this victory was different from the countless times I had killed the boss before. After killing all the monsters, I didn't drink any water of life during the entire battle! It's not that I care about the little money for medicine, but it proves that my fighting skills have greatly improved. I can avoid most of the giant dog's attacks. With my current strength, if I level up a few more times, I'm afraid I will be able to fight a D-level boss alone!
After killing the giant dog, the peak of Kaiyang Ridge was extremely quiet for a while, and no monster appeared. I also took the opportunity to dismount and rest for a while. Standing on the peak, looking far into the distance, in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains in the west, thousands of peaks stretch out. I don’t know how many places are waiting for us to explore, and how many monsters are waiting for us to challenge. In the east is an endless plain. At the foot of the mountain, three large rivers are like brocade ribbons, winding eastward. There are green grasslands near the rivers. Only our station is a piece of brown soil, and the buildings like the headquarters look like black dots the size of ants, which are inconspicuous. But I believe that one day, when I look down from this position again, what will appear in front of me will be a magnificent city!
