Chapter 146 Chapter 144
Special Training Ends
Ge Gongdao was the first to achieve three flashes. Zhuang Xuteng was four days behind him, in the penultimate week of the three-month training.
This time they finally felt the difference: the reaction speed brought by three flashes was much more obvious than that of two flashes. They could already see the starting action of the master's attack and predict the trajectory of his attack. But they still couldn't block or dodge.
Open, the result of being beaten down in the end has not changed.
This result is normal. Super-computing martial arts only improves reaction speed and adaptability, but cannot replace the role of shadow slave implants. Stranger in Famine has said that three situations that are difficult to deal with with super-computing martial arts are essentially used.
Enemy implant restraint.
In the realm of extraordinary beings, movement speed, attack power, and physical toughness all come from external objects such as shadow slave implants. They are all accumulated with resources, and Famine Stranger is no exception. Hibernation and supercomputing allow him to withstand more
The large side effects of implants allow him to exert more of the power of the implants, and the focus is still on the implants.
"Your current state is called: dead and clear." As he became more and more familiar with each other, the Famine Stranger also showed another side that is cold and fun-loving. "Congratulations to you, even if Baden Fort attacks you with all its strength, you at least
If you know this before you die, your brain will have a chance to reminisce about this life, and your life's waiting for death will be worth it."
Zhuang Xuteng was lying on the ground with bruises all over his body. He couldn't move a finger without bleeding a drop. He could only speak harshly and said: "Master, if you don't need implants, can you beat us?"
"I still have the sword dance, but I guess you will ask me not to use long swords and other shadow weapons. But I know more martial arts, and I still have five dodges, so I can still crush you. Let me think about it, you two
Come together, I will let you win with one hand even in the five-dodge state."
Ge Gongdao snorted and said: "Naike, do you still want to beat him? You beat me first and then talk about it! Master, don't listen to that kid's nonsense. He has only been boxing for a few years? I know better than him.
Your strength!"
"Actually, you don't know, and to be honest, I don't know either." The Famine Stranger sighed, showing a lonely expression for the first time. "I feel that I can be stronger, but I am blocked by an invisible barrier.
I couldn’t pass. I worked hard and tried, but failed. I must also fail because my age is here, and my mental and physical condition are declining. If I force myself to pass, I will die immediately.”
The Famine Stranger pointed at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "I have thought about it several times: If I could learn super-computing martial arts at your age, I would definitely be able to reach the limit of Nine Flashes."
"Nine flashes... what is that state?" Zhuang Xuteng asked curiously.
"No more dodging bullets, I can make the incoming ghost energy bullets hover in mid-air."
"Impossible!" The two apprentices who fell on the ground said in unison: "You don't have that kind of ability!"
"How is it impossible?" said the Famine Stranger: "The ghost energy bullet has been tracking you, and it will turn according to your movement trajectory, so as long as you are faster than it, you can use the changing trend of your body movements to trick it.
Let it spin in place. That thing is just a ball of shadow energy, with no head and tail, just no front and back."
"During the Six Flashes, I have been able to deceive all natural perceptions and create temporary illusions in people. For example, I can start and stop moving when others blink, making people think that I am moving out of thin air. If he keeps blinking,
I can continuously and perfectly switch between the two postures. Oh, let me demonstrate it to you."
Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao looked at each other, and then looked at the master together, both of them blinking desperately. Sure enough, the position and posture of the Famine Stranger would change every time they blinked. It felt like there were two masters constantly jumping left and right.
, either on the left or on the right.
The two of them used three flashes, and then they saw the master's starting and stopping movements, and captured the afterimage of the process in between.
"The demonstration is over. I'm too tired." The Famine Stranger waved his hands and stopped moving. White mist rose up on his body surface, which was all evaporated sweat. He took out a water bottle and took a few sips, and said: "If it's ten o'clock in the morning,
I won’t be so tired if I use Six Flash. So, you two should exercise while you are young and don’t regret it when you are old.”
"Master, we remember." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Actually, Master doesn't look old, right?"
Ge Gongdao definitely agreed, but the Famine Stranger shook his head and said: "The dormant martial arts can maintain the skin and make me look younger - in fact, I have transferred many signs of old age to the experimental mice. I know my situation very well,
Retreating to seclusion is the only right choice."
"Then...master, how strong were you at your peak? How many years did you practice supercomputer martial arts?"
The Famine Stranger smiled and said: "Yes, at least it has aroused your ambition. I have touched the edge of Nine Flashes. That was after I practiced for fifteen years. I was slacking off in the middle, and I wasted time for those slacking off.
I regret it and hope you will not make the same mistake again."
Zhuang Xuteng said: "We will train hard, but it's a pity that you are reclusive now, Master. I still want to complete the commission with you!"
"Actually, we have acted together, that is, the time we dealt with Dexter not long ago. By the way, Nike, I have never asked you, how did you know where Dexter is?"
"Before that, I was assigned to protect the intelligence officer, so I had an extra pair of eyes that could detect the enemy's situation."
"So that's the case, so it's not surprising. It's just that we can take action at the same time, which can be considered a special fate." The Famine Stranger said: "Okay, can you guys recover a little? Get up quickly and go soak in the pool.
"
After leaving six flashes of surprise and nine flashes of admiration in their hearts, the training was over. The Famine Stranger wanted to save some money for Lucy. On the one hand, he followed the idea of "Hello, I am good, everyone".
On the one hand, it can also show that Naike and Ge Gongdao are hardworking, talented, and worthy of reuse and training.
They no longer used expensive purple potions, but just bought some cheap mealworms and put them directly on their bodies - carrying small animals was the normal state of dormant martial arts, and the two of them needed to adapt as soon as possible. In the last two weeks, Famine Stranger mainly gave them
Explain knowledge other than martial arts, including what kind of implants to use, what medicines to prepare and use, and how to manage your own income.
Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao also took this time to put forward their ideas for the future, including what kind of fighting methods to use. Ge Gongdao is still obsessed with boxing, and Famine Stranger suggested that he pay more attention to underground black boxing, where some types of gloves will be constantly updated.
The shadow slave and the implant on his shoulder can strengthen his power.
As for the grenade that Zhuang Xuteng was obsessed with, the Famine Stranger believed that it could only be used as an auxiliary means and would not be used in truly difficult and anxious times - unless Zhuang Xuteng could throw cannonballs by hand.
"But you are not a soldier in a corporate war, but a mercenary. You always think about bombing. What should you do if you entrust a mission? Besides, if you put a pneumatic grenade in the car, isn't it much better than throwing cannonballs?
Mercenaries are all about making money, and they have to buy their own weapons. Compared with the shadow pistol, the consumable grenades are too expensive, so you should use them less. Wouldn't it be better to save the money for training and improve yourself?"
This was the warning that the master should give, but he didn't know that Zhuang Xuteng had other ways of making money besides mercenaries.
In the end, in this world, implants determine the upper limit of combat ability. Dormant martial arts and super-computing martial arts only give them the possibility of reaching the top. With the three flashes as a symbol, the two people have begun to slowly break away from the category of "ordinary people"
, and their next threshold is four flashes. The Famine Stranger believes that the two apprentices will not encounter problems until six or seven months at the earliest, and he will come back for guidance at that time.
"But you should be smart and figure it out on your own. I figured it out on my own. You are smarter than me, so there will be no problem." When the Famine Stranger said goodbye to them, he said, "I sincerely hope that you can figure it out soon."
If you want to catch up with me, you must surpass me. Whoever reaches Qishan first, I will hand over Jianwu and Qingquan to him and make him my senior brother."
The Famine Stranger believes that when the two of them reach the Seventh Flash, he must be older. Even Jianwu and Qingquan cannot stop the young man's Seventh Flash. And by that time, he will definitely be able to see the two apprentices clearly.
Taste.
"Haha, it must be me!" Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng said together.
The Famine Stranger nodded, patted the two people on their heads, turned around and left with a long knife, leaving the work of cleaning up the training base completely to them. Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng felt that this was a matter of course, even a kind of compliment. They took water pipes.
Rinse and scrub the floor to remove any biological information that may be left behind.
Compared with training, the current work is too easy. The tortured bodies of the two people began to recover quickly, mainly as hair began to grow. The master reminded them that they are likely to encounter retaliatory hair growth, and remember to keep hair on during this period.
Growing your hair and beard allows your body to go through the process of "natural hair loss". If you have frequent haircuts and shaves, the problem of rapid growth may follow you throughout your life.
Zhuang Xuteng has always felt that his beard is short, and hopes that it can change this time. Ge Gongdao does not care about hair, he only looks at his skin color, and prays every day that he will not suddenly turn into weird black. Both of their expectations have come true.
In just two weeks, Zhuang Xuteng had accumulated enough beard to have a splayed top and side cheeks. This made him very satisfied. He had already thought about using this look to scare his sister and also to scare his father who said all day long that "you can't do anything with a hairless mouth."
Take a look at it with admiration.
Ge Gongdao did not turn black as he wished, and his hair volume and beard did not change, but he grew thick gray body hair, like a gray wolf. These hairs were concentrated on the back of the neck, chest, lower abdomen, back and the outside of the limbs.
Side view. Their length ranges from 1 to 2 centimeters, arranged neatly, and they feel tough and smooth, and feel quite interesting.
It is conceivable that someone will definitely make fun of Ge Gongdao in the future, for example, saying that he looks like a big dog. Although Ge Gongdao is not that sensitive or violent, the obvious physical characteristics are not conducive to mercenaries.
Missions, especially when disguise is required to infiltrate.
"Actually, my previous appearance was not suitable for sneaking in disguise. I'll leave that part to you!" Ge Gongdao didn't care about others touching his hair. He only touched his hair so much! "Naike, I can clearly feel it now.
The flow of the wind.”
"I also thought about it. These hairs are equivalent to increasing your body surface area and tactile sensitivity. It's not obvious yet, but after five flashes, you will definitely have an advantage over me." Zhuang Xuteng said: "But I am smarter than you, maybe
I will break through the fifth flash earlier than you, and even reach the seventh flash earlier than you."
"Haha, bah, I won't let you steal the title of senior brother!"
"In this matter of fair competition, what do you mean by 'stealing'? What I call 'taking' is fair and just taking."
"For that, I can only wish you good luck, hum."
