Chapter 138 The True Value of Hammer Mastery!
After the two men stood still, they quickly fought, but soon, Knight Lloyd seized the pause in the connection of his moves and knocked Ryan back several steps with a shield strike.
Compared with the previous battle between Ryan and Perez, they were two completely different people.
However, the system prompt made Ryan happy:
[Your skill Tokkar Hammer Technique has been improved, experience value +27]
[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Super) professional experience value +9]
If you had not been defeated too quickly, you would have at least 40 to 50 points of Hammer Technique experience after a competition!
Lloyd looked at Ryan in confusion and asked, "Ryan, you should have just learned the Hammer Technique not long ago, right?"
This made Ryan blush slightly.
Obviously, in the competition with a formal knight, using the Hammer Technique that he had just learned for a day to fight against the enemy was a bit disrespectful.
Especially in the last game, Ryan had just used the Giant Bear Sword Technique to fight Perez.
However, it is still acceptable that with the blessing of ‘Hammer Expertise lv1’, at least it seems that Ryan’s Tokkar Hammer Technique is still in good shape, at least it doesn’t look like he just learned it on the first day.
Otherwise, even if Lloyd Knight is generous, he will probably turn around and leave.
After a little thought, Ryan decided to add some skill points to the core skill ‘Hammer Expertise lv1’.
After all, with such good experience ‘NPCs’ as Lloyd and Perez here, if he can’t arouse the other party’s interest and get a lot of experience, it would be a shame for such a good opportunity!
In addition, ‘Hammer Expertise’ is a core skill. In addition to using skill points to improve it, it cannot be improved through daily training.
From this perspective, Hammer Expertise is more like a talent.
So, with the addition of points, the remaining skill points on the panel changed from 4→3, and Hammer Expertise was immediately improved from lv1 to lv2.
In an instant, Ryan found that the feeling when he held the two-handed hammer was different.
This is an inexplicable feeling, as if Ryan has a natural familiarity with the hammer, and as if the hammer is an extension of his arm.
At the same time, the description of the hammer expertise on the panel has also changed.
[Core Skill: Hammer Expertise lv2 (Passive)]
[Hammer Expertise lv2 (Passive): When the host uses any hammer weapon, the damage is slightly increased. ]
Changed from 'subtle' to 'slightly', which is exactly the same as the change after the previous blacksmith's power was improved.
"Knight Lloyd, I have practiced hammer skills for a while, maybe because I am not familiar enough with the ironwood hammer. Let's do it again." After adding points, Ryan told a white lie.
Knight Lloyd nodded, which was regarded as an approval of Ryan's explanation. It is common for unfamiliar weapons to affect performance.
The two quickly stood still and started the second game!
Sure enough, this time with the blessing of the lv2 level of hammer expertise, Ryan's condition was much better than the previous one.
Although he still failed to defeat Knight Lloyd, who was holding a hammer shield, he still made the opponent have a good time.
After the competition, the system prompt appeared immediately:
[Your skill Tokkar Hammer Technique has been improved, experience value +54]
[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Extraordinary) professional experience value +16]
[Congratulations, your skill Tokkar Hammer Technique has been upgraded to lv2]
Hey! Upgraded!
Looking at Tokkar Hammer Technique lv2 (1/300).
Suddenly, Ryan's mind had some fragmented memories of Tokkar Hammer Technique training.
These memories were scattered fragments of hammer training, which passed through Ryan's mind one by one like slides and were quickly implanted into his muscle memory.
It felt to Ryan as if he had been practicing Tokkar Hammer Technique every day for several months.
"Ryan, why don't we come here tonight?" Knight Lloyd said.
To be honest, he was still a little disappointed with Ryan's hammer technique.
Knight Lloyd felt that Ryan's hammer skills were not proficient. Compared with the opponent's level in giant bear swordsmanship, there was still a big gap. He seemed to be able to fight him back and forth more by instinct.
Hmm?
I just upgraded to the first level, and the experience 'NPC' is going to leave?
"Knight Lloyd, just in the competition with you, I seem to have some insights into hammer skills. How about we have another game?" Ryan said with a smile.
As soon as Ryan's voice fell, Lloyd and Perez smiled and looked at each other.
In his heart, he secretly felt that Ryan was still a teenager, a bit of a rookie and playful feeling.
Just two competitions, the two of them have already felt Ryan's hammer skills thoroughly.
However
Knight Lloyd thought for a while, nodded, and agreed with Ryan's suggestion: "Okay."
Young people, face must be given.
Let's hold back a little later! Lloyd thought to himself.
The two quickly stood still and started the third competition.
But this match quickly shocked Lloyd and Perez!
With the help of the lv2 level of "Hammer Expertise" and Tokkar's Hammer Technique, Ryan's strength has once again made a small leap.
If we say that in the second match, Knight Lloyd can still easily defeat Ryan.
But this match was really a bit difficult to tell.
Knight Lloyd, who originally wanted to hold back, was getting more and more frightened at this moment!
"Bang!!"
After several minutes of fierce fighting, the sweaty Lloyd Knight won with difficulty.
Knight Lloyd first looked at Renn suspiciously, then showed a look of realization and laughed:
"I know, Ren!"
"Were you worried that defeating me would make me lose face at first? So, are you slowly showing your strength now?"
Renn looked at Lloyd blankly.
Can you still make up your mind like this?
Well, just be happy!
Who made you an experience ‘NPC’?
So, Renn smiled slightly and said nothing.
Ren's smile made the two people next to him believe in the above judgment.
"Ren, don't hold back, please go all out!"
Knight Lloyd had a solemn expression on his face and made a gesture of trying again, but he didn't even mention what he just said, 'Let's stay here tonight. ’
Sure enough, the experienced ‘NPC’ that aroused the competitive spirit is the cutest!
Ren pretended to have a troubled expression, nodded reluctantly, and said: "Well... okay then!"
In fact, he was very happy.
But since Knight Lloyd requires himself to ‘go all out’, he can only
system! add a bit!
Therefore, as Ren added points, the remaining skill points went from 3 to 2, and the core skill 'Hammer Specialization' was immediately upgraded from lv2 to lv3.
In an instant, Renn felt that the feeling of holding the iron-wood sledgehammer was different again.
If lv2 previously enhanced Renn's natural familiarity with the hammer, this time, Renn seemed to feel that the hammer was connected by blood to him!
At the same time, the description of ‘Hammer Specialization’ on the panel also changed accordingly.
[Core Skill: Hammer Specialization lv3 (Passive)]
[Hammer Specialization lv3 (Passive): When the host uses any hammer weapon, the damage is greatly increased. 】
There is no need to say more about what it means to change from ‘small amplitude’ to ‘large amplitude’.
So, with the blessing of the lv3 level 'Hammer Specialization' and the lv2 Tokkal Hammer Technique, Renn finally suppressed the Knight Lloyd who was holding a hammer shield.
With ‘Bang! ’ With a loud noise, Renn forcefully used the iron-wood sledgehammer to knock Knight Lloyd away.
But Lloyd's expression didn't show any displeasure at this time, as if he was saying, 'I'm just telling you, what you were hiding was exposed by me! ’
Peres on the side was also eager to try, and said: "Lloyd, you have competed with Renn for three times, now it's time for me to change, right?"
"Perez, don't worry, let me play two more games!" Lloyd Knight was feeling the game at the moment, and naturally he didn't want to end the game.
Looking at this scene, Renn couldn't help but smile!
My heart said, you two, don’t be anxious!
Don’t worry, I still understand ‘the rain and the dew will be shared equally’!
After the fifth game.
"Ren, go find Perez. Your physical strength is poor! You are good when you are young!" Lloyd, who was in his early forties, was already out of breath.
After the eighth game.
"Ren, go find Lloyd, I have to rest too!" Perez, who was in his thirties, also shouted that it was too much. At the same time, he also greatly lamented Ren's abnormal physical strength.
Renn looked at the two exhausted experience NPCs with a look of helplessness.
Xin said, what about the momentum of the two of you competing for the first place just now?
Suddenly, the system prompted another good news:
[Your skill Tokkal Hammer has been improved, and the experience value is +59]
[You have experienced a battle, and the knight (extraordinary) professional experience value +18]
[Congratulations, your skill Tokkal Hammer has been upgraded to lv3]
In an instant, Renn once again had a lot of fragmented training memories about the Tokkar hammer technique in his mind.
After absorbing and digesting it, Ren felt as if he had been practicing the Tokkal Hammer Technique for half a year!
But Ren just came back to his senses and found that the system prompt just now was not over.
There was another system prompt that came quietly:
[Congratulations, you have unlocked the exclusive secret skill of Tokkal Hammer: Dragon Hammer! 】
The secret technique of hammering?
Huh? How could it be so fast!
I clearly remember that the Shenglong Hammer requires a high level of proficiency in the Tokkal Hammer Technique.
Immediately, Ren was delighted and surprised to see a brand new icon located above the 'Tokkal Hammer Technique' on the Knight (Extraordinary) panel.
The pattern inside the icon is of a strong man twisting his body and swinging a two-handed sledgehammer from bottom to top. It looks lifelike and extremely powerful.
At the bottom right of the icon, there is a line of small words:
Rising Dragon Hammer lv1 (secret skill) effect: Use a special way to generate power, swing the heavy hammer from bottom to top, and strike a blow with rotating power.
(Note: The Dragon Hammer is a secret skill and cannot be directly upgraded through skill points.)
(Level 2 of the Rising Dragon Hammer needs to meet the following conditions: 1. Tokkal Hammer Technique lv6 or above (hammer specialization can offset part of the level requirements); 2. Strength is above 18 points, constitution is above 16 points, and agility is above 16 points.)
Looking at the sentence 'Hammer specialization can offset part of the hammer level requirements', Renn thought thoughtfully.
I see!
No wonder I was able to master the secret technique in advance with the Tokkal Hammer Technique at level 3. The key to the problem turned out to be here.
This is the true value of Hammer Specialization!
Immediately, Renn thought of something again.
