Chapter 462 Return to Reality
Over the dense forest, a kingfisher made entirely of vines flew across the sky. Its wings with some buds still left at the end were swirling in the storm, supporting its small body and galloping at an exaggerated speed. Go away.
However, the next second, a faster red stream of light came from the rear right. Inside the streamer, a metal arrow wrapped in filaments of flames was breaking through the air waves, and its sharp arrow tip was locked tightly. Focus on the vine kingfisher not far away.
As time went by, the distance between the two began to shorten rapidly. Even though the kingfisher continued to increase its speed and changed its direction extremely dexterously, it was still unable to escape the close pursuit of the red stream of light behind it. It could only let it go The gleaming arrow tip kept approaching.
Until a few breaths later, a bright fire suddenly bloomed in the sky, and then the kingfisher that was pierced by the arrow was completely turned into a few wisps of charred ash under the burning of the blazing flames.
Below, inside the forest.
Looking at the gradually fading firelight high in the sky, Xu Yue, who looked up, let out a long sigh of relief, and then slowly put down the trembling iron longbow in his hand.
Even though the white quality iron tire bow does not require high strength, Xu Yue still felt that his two arms were slightly weak after training for four consecutive hours with full concentration.
However, the training is difficult, but the rewards are also extremely rich. Now, even if he does not rely on the additional characteristics such as 'extreme speed', 'locking' and 'explosion' that come with the Xiaoyun Longbow, he can still rely solely on his own pure With his bow and arrow skills, he can easily shoot small targets that move at high speed.
This means that his archery skills have been greatly improved in just four hours. Of course, his gains are far more than that. More importantly, after Philvin's guidance, he has improved his own The perception of techniques has undergone quite a crucial change.
Due to the special nature of the weapon master, in addition to the Fang Tian painted halberd he chose from the beginning, Xu Yue's purpose of practicing other techniques was mostly to make better use of the various mixed-edged weapons in his body that can be continuously strengthened and improved.
Although both improving one's skills to adapt to the weapon and improving one's skills in order to continuously climb the peak of skills can bring about a stronger combat power, there is an essential difference between the two. The starting direction was wrong, and in the end The end point that can be reached will also be very different.
Take a certain derivative world as an example. They are both strong swordsmen with swordsmanship as their core. Due to different starting points, the former can only become a sword-crazy but a sword slave who will be controlled by the sword all his life, while the latter can become a swordsman even if he holds a sword. A wooden sword can defeat any sword master.
In the same way, if he always maintains his previous attitude and cognition, as the number of combined-edged weapons in his body continues to increase, Xu Yue may become a soldier slave like the former who is restrained by many weapons. Even if his combat power is It is still powerful, but compared with the real soldier master who is above ten thousand soldiers and feeds on it, it is obviously not on the same level.
"Although four hours is a bit hasty, it is enough to re-solidify your archery foundation. As for the road ahead, my direction is Zhufeng, and yours is obviously related to flames, so I have nothing to give you any guidance next. It's yours."
"But remember, the weapon is always just a carrier for displaying one's own skills. A powerful weapon is the icing on the cake, but it can never become the leader. Only one's own strength is the eternal core. As long as I am willing, a branch can It can still be the best arrow to pierce the throat of a powerful enemy."
There was an indescribable belief in Fairwin's tone. Before he was 100 years old, all the arrows in his hands were shot for revenge and killing, so at that time he was madly chasing more powerful longbows and Sharper arrows.
This is the most obvious way to improve combat power, and because of this, it took him 36 years to become the first half-elf in history to join the Dark Moon Hunters.
Another 20 years later, with greater strength, he confidently challenged the then deputy leader of the Hunting Group, and the final result was that the other party used only a few branches to shoot out all his means. He was completely defeated. What he just said was exactly what the deputy commander said to him hundreds of years ago.
The result of the challenge was miserable, but it also allowed him to reconstruct his understanding of techniques. So at the age of 200, Philvin successfully broke through the legend and hunted alone the forest-burning red dragon Ignivo who was raging at that time. Er, was promoted to the new deputy leader of the Dark Moon Hunters.
As for the original deputy captain, he was besieged to death by a bright bishop and his army as early as three years ago on the battlefield. Yes, it was Philvin who successfully sniped him in the last assassination mission. The lost Bishop of Light, Pyro.
Thinking of this, Philvin couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and his mind once again recalled the giant blazing sun falling from the sky that he saw before his consciousness dissipated.
At this time, when time was about to end, he noticed the strangeness on Phil's face, and then recalled the tragic ending of Phil's death in the main city of mankind when he was burned by the Forbidden Curse of the Falling Sun. Xu Yue paused and spoke in a deep voice.
"The world you are in is the Godfall Continent, right? If I have the opportunity to go there in the future, I can help you with a few words, so... are there any regrets?"
"Pity?"
With a murmur, Phil's expression quickly changed from sad to free and easy. He glanced at Xu Yue, who had a dull look on the other side. He could sense that the other party would definitely do what he said. Of course, the premise was that his request would not be too troublesome. .
"It's not a pity. The assassin's death in the assassination is a natural outcome. But if you can really reach the Godfall Continent, you can go to the ruins of the Glowing City. There should be an oak tree inside. If you don't mind the trouble, you can help me transplant it to the Eternal Spring in the Emerald Forest."
"As for the reward..."
As he spoke, Philven pointed to Xu Yue's chest. Although the Life Glory necklace was hidden at the moment, as an elf, he could still easily sense the endless life force that was continuously gathering from the surrounding trees.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a special life-related creation here. With oak as its support, the Eternal Spring will not resist you. As long as you throw this creation into the spring, the Eternal Spring will be able to make it more in line with the essence of life. It shouldn't disappoint you..."
As he spoke, Philven's figure began to gradually dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally only a wisp of lingering sound remained.
"...Thank you..."
In the trial field, Xu Yue glanced at his archery master who had quietly upgraded from LV.2 to LV.5, and said lightly: "It's just mutual benefit, no need to thank me."
It cost 40,000 Paradise coins to upgrade the master-level skills by 3 levels. The advanced mirror function of Paradise is sometimes particularly reliable. He looked away from the archery master who stood out from the crowd and turned to look at the 23-level Master of Hundred Weapons·Halberd, which is his main technique against the enemy in the true sense.
Compared with the still immature archery, the long halberd that has walked out of its own unique path obviously cannot be quickly upgraded in this way.
"Paradise, upgrade Master of Hundred Weapons·Halberd."
[Upgrading Master of Hundred Weapons·Halberd requires Soul Crystal (Medium) × 10, 50,000 Paradise coins, yes/no upgrade]
The reason why the technique system is known as one of the three poor ghosts in Paradise is that the high cost of skill upgrade is indispensable. The consumption of Paradise coins is not a big deal, but the key is that Soul Crystal is priceless.
Especially in the modern urban world of "X-Men", the output of soul crystals is extremely low. Even if he almost swept the entire world, he only harvested 19 soul crystals (medium), plus the 5 that were left before, which was just enough to meet the demand for upgrading by two levels.
Without hesitation, Xu Yue took out all the soul crystals (medium) from the space and piled them on his side, and then continued to speak.
"Upgrade by two levels!"
After the words fell, the soul crystals piled on his side shattered instantly, and a large amount of halberd experience began to automatically emerge in his mind.
[Master of Hundred Weapons·Halberd has been upgraded to LV.24]
[Master of Hundred Weapons·Halberd has been upgraded to LV.25]
…
[Master of Hundred Weapons·Halberd: LV.25 (Passive)]
Skill effect: Increase the attack power of halberds by 109%, and greatly improve the halberd skills.
LV.10 additional ability:
Heaven and Earth Retreat (Advanced): Omitted
LV.20 additional ability:
Po Jun: Omitted
Hint 1: The current transformable states are: Sword (LV.2), Shield (LV.2), Bow (LV.5),
Hint 2: This specialization effect can only cover one weapon at a time.
…
After a long time, Xu Yue, who had digested the knowledge in his mind, slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the introduction of the Master of Hundred Weapons, which had not improved much. The white iron bow in his hand was directly retracted into the space, and replaced by the two-foot-long painted halberd with evil spirit.
"Paradise, summon advanced mirror image - Flying General Lu Bu."
[You have chosen to summon advanced mirror image, specifying the summoning...]
[Selection completed, start summoning the world of "The End of the Valkyrie" - Flying General Lu Bu]
The next moment, the surrounding lush forest quickly transformed into a solemn and wide circular arena, and on the opposite side of the arena, a majestic figure riding a red warhorse was galloping out with a long halberd in his hand.
"Boy, let's switch horses this time, come!"
The sound waves came with a strong battlefield aura. Looking at the black warhorse running out from the exit behind him, he grinned, then decisively jumped on the horse and rushed towards Lu Bu on the opposite side with a halberd.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Come, kill!!"
……………
The time in the paradise after that can be said to be unremarkable. After dealing with most of the matters, he basically rotated between the arena, the trial field, and the exclusive room.
It is worth mentioning that because he was promoted to the second level and successfully passed the first derivative world, he automatically activated a general permission called "time conversion" when he was about to leave the paradise, which can convert up to half of the time he stayed in the real world into the time he stayed in the paradise.
The real world can be said to be the basic plate of the reincarnation paradise. For the paradise, the more powerful the contractor is in the real world, the more unstable it is. So after reaching a certain level, it will actively encourage it to stay more in the paradise city with higher tolerance.
This option undoubtedly suits Xu Yue's heart better. Compared with the real world where he can only relax, the paradise city with various special facilities is obviously more conducive to improving his combat power.
So Xu Yue chose the maximum time replacement without hesitation, and continued to spend three and a half days in this city.
[The hunter's stay in the reincarnation paradise has reached the limit]
[You are about to return to the real world, please remember the rules of the reincarnation paradise]
[Nothing in Samsara Paradise can be revealed in any form in the real world, otherwise you will be given a warning. If the warning is invalid, you will be forcibly executed]
…
[Transmission starts, location: real world]
In the real world, Xu Yue, rubbing the back of his head, quietly emerged from the bedroom behind the weapons shop. The sun shone from the window not far away, casting a large pale shadow behind him.
Phew~
With a long sigh of relief, Xu Yue rubbed his tingling temples and walked towards the large sofa on the right. Five minutes ago, he was beaten to death by Lu Bu for the 19th time in the training ground with a green dragon halberd. Let’s not talk about how much the techniques have been improved in Cheng Sui Mo, but this training method is obviously very conducive to tempering the will.
At least Paradise's hammering on the back of his head no longer caused him any trouble, and instead he felt a little refreshed.
"Creak"
As the two-meter-tall figure sat down, his slightly excessive weight suddenly caused a long groan to be heard from the sofa beneath him, and also made Xu Yue's face stiffen as he was thinking about something.
The growth in body size coupled with the continuous improvement of metallization progress, even under normal conditions, although his body shape does not look bloated at all, his actual weight has soared to nearly 150 kilograms.
"Ahem, it looks like I need to change to a set of sturdier furniture. Well, there's also a full set of clothes..."
Thinking of this, Xu Yue paused slightly. Changing furniture and clothing was a trivial matter, but more importantly, he needed to consider whether to change his base.
Suddenly, the whole body was raised by about 10 centimeters. Even if the shop he was in was sparsely populated, it would still be a bit too eye-catching. Moreover, he was an out-and-out gangster who could not withstand careful investigation.
Although Xu Yue is not afraid of the officials in this world, he does not want to cause trouble.
After sitting on the deeply sunk sofa and thinking for a moment, he decisively gave up the plan of moving.
If I remember correctly, there should be an official organization in the real world that specializes in dealing with contractor affairs. With the reputation he has now established in the paradise, even if the identity of the contractor is exposed, there is a high probability that it will not cause trouble. .
On the contrary, perhaps the identity issue can be solved through formal channels.
After thinking about this, he no longer struggled, but got up and walked quickly towards the bathroom not far away. After dying 19 times in a row, he now needed sleep.
……………
Outside the weapons store, as Xu Yue gradually fell into a deep sleep, there were two guys in urban management uniforms at the end of the street staring at the closed door of the weapons store, or rather the handicraft store.
"Have you investigated the surrounding areas?"
"After investigation, this arts and crafts store called Furnace was opened in April this year, but it was not actually open for many hours, and the identity information of the store manager was all fake IDs that were obtained at a high cost."
"According to the rules of opening stores, that guy is most likely a contractor. Of course, the possibility of being a foreign spy does not rule out..."
After listening to the report from his subordinates behind him, the leading middle-aged urban management officer raised his eyes to look at the store plaque in the distance, a trace of memory gradually filling his eyes.
"The Furnace...this name seems a bit familiar."
