Chapter 158 Ryan: Who Said that a Greatsword Doesn't Count as a One-Handed Sword? (Seeking Monthly Votes)
The red-hot magma continued to burn the surrounding air, causing it to appear slightly distorted.
When Ryan saw the dark green giant figure slowly approaching from a distance, his face became extremely ugly.
At the moment, he had just defeated the [Grand] Shattering Dragon. Because he did not have the help of the upgraded warm current, his physical condition had recovered slightly, but it was far from his peak.
In this case, facing a terrible monster that was at the Grand Level and was likely to be much stronger than the [Grand] Shattering Dragon, how could he be an opponent?
Yes.
Even if he only saw it from a distance, Ryan's hunter instinct allowed him to accurately judge that this dark green monster with a strange body shape like a loofah was far more threatening than the [Grand] Shattering Dragon.
I'm afraid that the crown monster that had fought fiercely with the [Crown] Shattering Dragon and left the [Crown] Shattering Dragon with injuries in a short period of time was this guy...
If the [Crown] Shattering Dragon is "Crown One Star", then the strength of this "Dark Green Loofah" is at least "Crown Two Star", or even stronger!
The palm of his right hand holding the hilt of the greatsword behind him was slightly sweaty. Ryan leaned forward slightly, bent his legs and gathered strength, ready for a fighting posture.
Even if he was in a bad state and there was no possibility of victory, he would never wait to be killed.
If death can be exchanged for enough information without other options, it is not impossible.
At a distance of hundreds of meters, Ryan's panel could not display the introduction of "Dark Green Loofah".
In the distance, seeing Ryan turn around, the "Dark Green Loofah" suddenly accelerated. Its movement method was a bit weird. From a distance, it looked like a rolling ellipsoid, but its speed was amazingly fast.
When the distance between the two sides was only about 100 meters, the "Dark Green Loofah" raised its upper body, and after a short period of energy storage, it opened its mouth.
The next second, the strange purple-red energy flew out and completely submerged Ryan's body.
Even if Ryan tried his best to dodge, it was still useless. The flying speed of this purple-red energy was too fast, and the distance of 100 meters passed in a flash.
Explosion, burning, paralysis, cold... all kinds of feelings flowed through the body. This purple-red energy was something Ryan had never seen before.
Incomparable pain swept through the whole body, and the seriously injured body could not bear such destruction. At the last moment when his consciousness fell into darkness, Ryan stared at the "Dark Green Loofah" a hundred meters away.
"I remember you..."
...
[Viewing Place]
Freni sat calmly in front of the "viewing platform", quietly watching the investment interface presented in front of her.
——
[The "Beginner's Heart" traveler encountered a powerful enemy-[Crown] Shattering Dragon, and the battle was about to break out. ]
[Battle power comparison of the two camps: Traveler (50) vs. [Grand] Dragon Crusher (53)]
[You currently have an investment amount of [Essence: 54728]]
[The ratio of the two sides - Traveler: [Grand] Dragon Crusher = 10:0.1, the minimum investment amount is 100 Essence. ]
[You have 30 seconds to place your investment bet...]
——
Freni's face was calm.
After experiencing the "blood loss" last time, this time, she fully learned her lesson. Without hesitation, she raised her slender white finger and pointed it at the "Traveler". She directly invested 40,000 Essence, leaving only more than 10,000 Essence to protect her capital.
Time passed little by little, and soon, the battle was declared over.
A series of battle records made Miss Witch frown and relax from time to time. Her mood was like a roller coaster, ups and downs. Even the fluffy blue hat swayed with the owner's mood.
Although "Dear Traveler" finally won, the process was too difficult. Freni was not sure whether "Dear Traveler" could win again.
But looking at the 414728 [Spirit Essence], Freni could no longer suppress the "calmness" on her face, and smiled happily.
"A wave of fat!"
The witch punched hard, and even her eyebrows were filled with joy.
However, she was not happy for long, and the viewing interface in front of her fell into the battle page again.
Freni frowned slightly, but she was not panicked.
After watching for so long, this kind of "intrusion" is rare, but it is not uncommon.
The key point is how strong the intruder is.
She looked at the interface calmly.
——
[The "Beginner" traveler encountered a powerful enemy-[Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur, and the battle was about to start. ]
[Battle power comparison between the two camps: Traveler (50) vs. [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur (56)]
[You currently have an investment amount of [Spiritual Essence: 414728]]
[The ratio between the two sides - Traveler: [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur = 100:0.01, the minimum investment amount is 100 Spiritual Essence.]
[You have 30 seconds to place your investment bet...]
——
Freni stared at the "56" of the [Grand] Gluttonous Dinosaur's battle power value with bright eyes, and fell silent.
Time passed by, but she was still hesitant to make up her mind.
The battle power value, every 3 points is a small stage, 50 is barely entering, 51~53 is the first stage, and 54~56 is the second stage.
Just as the career path starts from the high level, the gap of each small stage becomes difficult to make up and cross, the same is true for the battle power starting from 40 points.
This is the case with a battle power of more than 40 points, not to mention the level of more than 50 points.
The combat power of the Traveler did not increase after defeating the [Crown] Blasting Dragon, and remained at 50 points. It can be seen that at this level, it is extremely difficult to improve the combat power.
But the combat power of the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur has reached a terrifying 56 points!
Judging purely by the numerical value, the combat power of the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur surpassed the Traveler by two small stages!
It is difficult to make up for one small stage, let alone two.
The huge disparity in the investment ratio also proves this point.
The investment income of nearly 100 times means that the possibility of the Traveler's victory is very small, unless the meteorite falls from the sky and just kills the monster.
Rationally speaking, in this case, it is inevitable that the Traveler cannot win.
But...
Thinking of the last "blood loss" experience, Furenyi hesitated for a while, and finally made a decision when there were 3 seconds left in the countdown - invest in the Traveler!
What if?
If the Traveler wins, wouldn't she make a lot of money?
Of course, the reason for making such a decision is mainly because Freni's current "small treasury" is full and has the capital to take "a little" risk.
Invest in the Traveler, 10w Spirit Essence!
With her choice, the battle interface fell silent.
But to Freni's surprise, the static picture quickly resumed the dynamic.
This also indicates that the battle took less than half a minute from start to finish.
Even to be precise, excluding the time she hesitated, the whole process was only a few seconds?
Looking at the words "Investment Failed" displayed on the "Observation Deck", Freni couldn't tell her emotions at the moment.
Expected? Or, disappointed?
Inexplicably, Freni remembered her father's warning to her when he handed her the [Unknown Bow] before his death: "It is hope... and also a curse..."
"So, hope and curse, is this what it means?"
At this time, Freni finally had a preliminary understanding of this sentence.
"Huge benefits, restrained desires..."
The witch sighed slightly, and her face slowly returned to peace.
She came to the "observation platform" and opened the exchange list.
As the obtained [Spiritual Essence] broke through 10,000 and 100,000, the exchange list unlocked new items.
——

——
There is nothing surprising in the level 3 exchange list. It is still the same old four items. The only difference is the conditions of use and the exchange price.
On the contrary, in the level 4 exchange list, in addition to the "old four items" of the same type but with the exchange price skyrocketing to 100,000 per copy, a brand new thing has appeared.
Its name is [Integrated Crystal].
[Integration Crystal]: An extremely special and rare concentrated crystal. After using it, you can greatly improve your own understanding and integrate what you have learned within a certain period of time. Please note that this item can only be used when you reach the fourth level. It is only effective for the first use, otherwise there will be unknown dangers. [Spirit Essence] required for exchange: 100,000 points.
There is no difference in the exchange price, mainly its effect.
As far as Freni knows, the iconic ability of the fifth-level legend is the domain.
As long as you are in the domain, the fifth-level legend is an absolutely invincible human-shaped disaster that ignores the number of professionals below the legend.
And one of the conditions for condensing the domain is to integrate all your own abilities and walk out a path that belongs to you.
This is the most difficult point. It can even be said that countless fourth-level professionals find it difficult to advance to the fifth level because they cannot do this.
And now, only one [Integration Crystal] is needed to complete the integration of your own abilities with a high probability.
Freni was moved.
Although she is still very far away from being a legend, people who do not think about the future will have immediate worries.
With the [Integration Crystal], when she reaches the fourth level limit, she only needs to worry about the ritual issues, and does not need to spend a lot of time to integrate the system and find her own path.
Standing in front of the observation deck, Furenyi rested her chin on her hand and thought silently:
"Now there are more than 310,000 spiritual essences. Mr. Ryan has reached the second level. It is time to arrange for [Second Level Spiritual Enhancement Crystal] and [Second Level Physical Enhancement Crystal]... This requires 20,000 spiritual essences."
"Cecilia has more than the same, but she also lacks [First Level Physical Enhancement Crystal]... So the total is 22,000 spiritual essences."
"I only need the first and second level physical enhancement crystals, a total of 12,000 spiritual essences."
"All added up, it is 54,000 spiritual essences."
"No big deal!"
Freni's face was full of calmness.
With a huge sum of money, a mere 54,000 spiritual essences is not a problem at all.
...
On the endless sea, the gorgeous warship broke through the waves and headed towards the distance where the sea and the sky meet.
Ryan lay on the bow deck leisurely. He had just finished a round of storm swordsmanship practice, looking up at the clear blue sky, with a different feeling in his heart.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and sighed slightly.
"Where did that guy go?"
It had been two days since Ryan encountered the "Dark Green Loofah" on his last trip.
During these two days, the [Black Rose] sailed smoothly on the sea, and he entered the travel area as usual at night. What surprised Ryan was that the life in the entire volcanic area, except for those weak small monsters, all large special species disappeared, suspected to be swallowed by the "Dark Green Loofah".
Ryan, who didn't believe in evil, not only searched the volcanic area, but also walked through the areas outside the volcano, including the outer area and the inner area. In the end, he had to confirm one thing:
The gluttony of the "Dark Green Loofah" was more terrible than he imagined. This guy's stomach seemed to be a bottomless pit. On the huge mysterious island, there was no special species at the moment.
What made Ryan even more depressed was that during the search, although he found the footprints of the "Dark Green Loofah", no matter how he looked, he could not find the guy's trace.
The "dark green loofah" dominated by the "gluttonous desire" seemed to have gone to another place with more abundant food.
In other words, Ryan's travel clone is now in a situation where there are no monsters to fight.
Without powerful monsters, the travel clone cannot be upgraded, and Ryan's strength growth will also reach a bottleneck.
"Huh..."
On the deck, Ryan took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart: "If there is no trace of the 'dark green loofah' tonight, I can only take the risk to go to the 'rotten miasma'."
In addition to the "end and origin place" mentioned by the hermit dragon man, only the depths of the rotten miasma where the ancient dragon lives are Ryan's unsearched.
Even if he is still not sure of defeating the ancient dragon, he has to try.
"Tap tap..."
At this time, the light footsteps that sounded beside Ryan's ears interrupted his thoughts.
He did not look back. The moment he heard the footsteps, he knew the identity of the visitor.
Freni walked to the bulwark beside Ryan, picked up the telescope and observed the distance: "Hmm... I still can't see anything."
"Mr. Ryan, how long will it take us to reach Tianqingdao?"
"According to the records on the nautical chart, it should take another three hours, which is close to noon." Ryan stood up from the deck and said.
"Three hours? Finally, we are almost there..." Freni breathed a sigh of relief.
Sailing on the sea has never been a pleasant thing.
Although the [Black Rose] is a high-level wonder, it is not the kind that tends to be comfortable. On the contrary, because the "skill points" are all on speed, its riding experience is more bumpy and worse than that of ordinary ships.
"Yes, we are almost there..."
Ryan also felt a little emotional.
After some discussion, the three finally decided to follow the advice of the water droplet princess Ariel and not force the "magnetic mine sea" during the dangerous period, and chose to stop temporarily on Tianqingdao.
First, Ryan can try to challenge the Tianqing Sword Competition to improve his swordsmanship. Second, Tianqingdao is a neutral area, and strictly speaking, it is chaotic neutral. There are almost no people from the mainland countries on the island, and there are many strong people on the island. The black knights of the three seats are powerful, but they can't do whatever they want on Tianqingdao.
Third, if Freni and Cecilia want to improve their professional compatibility, it is impossible to do it by sailing blindly. They need to experience Tianqingdao.
Of course, after making the decision to land on Tianqingdao, Ryan and the other two have not been idle these days.
Freni took out new resources from the "Inheritance Treasure House". In the past two days, the three of them have been working hard to practice while absorbing and digesting them.
Ryan stood by the bulwark and stood shoulder to shoulder with Freni.
The moist sea breeze blew the girl's hair, dancing in the wind.
Ryan retracted his gaze and turned to open the panel.
——
[Spirit]: 24→26 (45.5)
[Physique]: 48.92→50.92 (89.11)
——
The improvement of the compatibility of "Apostle of Joy", as well as the help of 10 [Second-level Spiritual Enhancement Crystals] and 10 [Second-level Physical Enhancement Crystals], has made some progress in the attributes of Ryan's body.
Although the attributes of the body are not high, with the blessing of [Tide of Pain], once entering the combat state, Ryan's [Spirit] and [Physique] will be explosively improved, which is the value in the brackets on the panel.
Unlike the traveling clone, the attributes of the main body can be fully blessed.
The effect is simply explosive.
According to Freni, the strength of the black knight in the middle third seat belongs to the first echelon of the fourth-order limit, and it is specialized in the ability to fight witches, which is extremely powerful.
Ryan is not sure whether he can defeat the black knight in the middle third seat now.
But judging from the attributes alone, it is not very safe.
Therefore, he must further improve his strength.
More than two hours later.
Ryan, Freni and Cecilia, who were standing on the deck together, reflected the outline of an extremely large island in their eyes at the same time.
With the naked eye alone, the three of them can clearly judge that Tianqingdao is a large island that is much larger than the outlying island.
"Tianqingdao, we are coming." Ryan said in a deep voice.
After the joy, Freni seemed to think of something and said:
"By the way, Mr. Ryan, I suddenly thought of a question."
"Hmm?" Ryan turned his head in confusion and looked at Freni, waiting for the next step.
"Kendo competitions, generally speaking, refer to sword weapons such as longswords that are used with one hand." Freni blinked: "The greatsword should be classified as a heavy weapon, not a one-handed sword, right?"
Hearing this, Ryan laughed.
With a "clang--" sound, he grasped the hilt of the greatsword behind him with one hand, and then drew the sword out of the sheath.
The heavy [Crown Dragon Slayer Greatsword] was easily grasped by him with one hand.
"Who said that a greatsword can't be a one-handed sword?"
