"Please walk slowly and welcome to visit next time."
After walking out of the No Return Spring, Xu Tong couldn't help but stretch. He had to say that there was a big difference between the services of high-end exhibitions and ordinary exhibitions.
Not only is the service here good, but more importantly, the resources here are so abundant.
Just after taking a dip in the hot springs, my physical condition improved. Even though the improvement was very slight, the fatigue on my body was swept away, and my whole body suddenly became lighter.
The hot spring bath he soaked in only cost 300 script points. He had seen the price list.
This kind of soup pool is just the most common one, but there are also stronger ones, such as the Huanchun Tang, which costs 3000 scripts per pool. It can not only restore youth temporarily, but also increase life span.
The Enlightenment Fountain worth 5000 script points can allow people to enter the state of enlightenment.
As for the highest-end non-return soup, the price list did not explain the effect, but the price of a full 50,000 scripts per share has successfully made Xu Tong understand what luxury is.
Even though he already has nearly 100,000 script points, he is reluctant to spend this money.
Calculating the time in his mind, he found that there was still some time before the agreement between himself and William and the others. Xu Tong thought about it and decided to go to the training ground that Blind Man Kang mentioned.
According to the place mentioned by Kang Xiazi, Xu Tong walked over and took a look. Sure enough, there was a small shop with a sign of a training ground hanging outside the door.
Before Xu Tong could walk in, he saw two people walking out, complaining as they walked.
"Hey, it's really unlucky. The more challenging it is, the harder it becomes. The proficiency gained each time is too little!"
"Yes, the price is not cheap. Two silver badges, only given for half an hour, are still low difficulty. High difficulty requires gold badges. Damn, there are so many gold badges. Wouldn't it be nice for me to exchange them for special props?"
Xu Tong walked in and took a look. He saw only a small counter, only about ten square meters of space, and no door. He could see everything at a glance, and he couldn't help but wonder whether this place was really reliable.
I glanced at the price list above and saw that the charging standard for the training ground was not for script points, but for badges.
Starting with the Silver Badge, you can only enter the low-level difficulty training ground.
The intermediate difficulty training ground requires a gold badge, and the time is only one hour.
As for the advanced training ground, it actually requires a diamond-level badge.
I have a lot of badges on my hands, so the price is no problem for me.
It's a good time to give it a try and improve your swordsmanship.
Plus I just opened all the prop books.
After throwing away those worthless prop cards, which he had thrown into the exhibition and sold at low prices, there were still three prop cards left.
You can also take the opportunity to try out the effect, gain a level of proficiency, and increase your combat effectiveness.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong stepped forward and handed over a gold badge.
The girl at the counter saw this and handed Xu Tong a rule description.
Before entering the training ground, players need to shield one-third of their own prop cards and are prohibited from using the abilities of these prop cards.
In the training ground, the player's skill cooldown time will be greatly shortened, and the scenario points consumed by prop cards will be removed.
If a player dies in the training ground, he or she can be resurrected, but additional scenario points must be paid, 500 points for the first resurrection, 1,000 for the second time, 2,000 for the third time, and so on.
However, to gain proficiency, you need to successfully complete challenges.
Otherwise, the proficiency gained will be very limited.
Xu Tong thought for a moment and blocked most of his prop cards, including core prop cards such as Dark Physique and Papercraft Book.
"Players are ready, do you want to enter the training ground?"
Hearing the prompt, Xu Tong chose yes without hesitation.
"Uh-huh!!"
A sudden feeling of stepping on the air came over him. When Xu Tong felt his feet sinking, the appearance in front of him had completely changed. Looking around, he saw an empty stone floor.
"Ding! Training is about to begin, players please be prepared." After a cold reminder, the stone slabs on the ground gradually cracked, and two humanoid puppets rose from the ground.
Only two?"
Xu Tong looked at the puppet, and saw the puppet slowly raised its head, suddenly pulled out a dagger from its waist, and stabbed Xu Tong.
The speed was so fast that it even stirred up a whirlwind in place.
Seeing the dagger stabbing him, Xu Tong did not draw his sword, but raised his palms to greet him fiercely. He just took the opportunity to test out the Eighteen-Road Kaishan Zhang that he bought when he entered the exhibition.
This set of palm techniques is known for its strength. Xu Tong's arms are like a dragon, but it is not brute force, but combined with the flexibility of Wuqin's grasping hand. He skillfully avoids the dagger stabbed by the puppet and stays straight. The ground slapped the puppet on the chest.
"boom!"
The palm of the hand collided with the wooden armor on the puppet's chest, making a loud noise, like thunder falling, and a force exploded from the puppet's back, shattering into countless wood shards.
Seeing this, the other puppet turned its sword and stabbed Xu Tong straight into the heart, but Xu Tong moved faster and kicked the puppet's arm joint, smashing the puppet's arm, and slapped the puppet's head with his backhand.
"Snapped!"
Immediately, the puppet's head was smashed to pieces, but what was surprising was that although the puppet had no head, its body still rushed forward, as if to knock Xu Tong down.
He spread his arms and pounced forward, only to find that his pounce was in vain. Xu Tong's toes were just a little bit on the ground, his feet stepped on the seven stars, and his figure suddenly became erratic.
Liangyi Mote, increases dodge by 20%.
It is said that when learning swordsmanship, you should learn to walk first, and practice walking before practicing boxing. Footwork is no less important than swordsmanship.
With a tan kick, the puppet was kicked away.
After dealing with these two puppets lightly, before Xu Tong could take a breath, the surrounding floor slowly cracked, and this time four puppets were directly refreshed.
The four puppets appeared without any pause, and immediately surrounded and attacked Xu Tong.
Seeing this, Xu Tong simply used his fists and palms together, combining the Five Birds Grasping Hand and the Eighteen-Road Mountain Opening Palm together.
After all, he is a great master. Even if he is from a side sect, after reaching this threshold, other things can be understood by analogy.
Coupled with the blessing of the prop card [Chuanwu], after one set, I gradually figured out my own routine.
However, as he continued to fight, Xu Tong found that there were more and more puppets unknowingly.
And in the blink of an eye, the puppet, which was originally wearing wooden armor, began to wear a layer of iron armor.
This instantly reduced the lethality of the Mountain Palm by a notch.
After all, one palm of his hand can crack the iron armor and shatter the enemy's internal organs, but facing a puppet that is dying of pain, one palm strike can only break part of the puppet's branches.
Seeing that the number was increasing, Xu Tong stopped attacking with his fists and waved his hand to summon the Chunyang Sword.
The blade of the sword clanked, a glistening cold light emerged, and when it was swung, it emitted an icy-cold murderous aura.
"Just in time to give it a try, this item card, Fiery Slash!"
Xu Tong took a deep breath and swung his sword. The sword suddenly erupted in flames, and he slashed hard with the sword.
"boom!"
A huge wave of fire rolled up, and extremely hot temperatures and air waves erupted from Xu Tong's feet. The puppets that came closer instantly turned into torches, and were blown away by the shock wave that followed.
"Pyrophilia!"
As soon as the sword edge was retracted, Xu Tong's scorching flames suddenly increased suddenly on the sword blade, turning into a fire tiger and making a deafening roar.
[Fire Sword Technique]
The wearer can obtain the Fire Sword Qi.
Passive skill 1: Heart of fire
Increases resistance to fire by 70%
Active skill 1: Fire addiction (LV1)
Proficiency:0/100
Spend 20 script points to summon tiger-shaped sword energy to cause fire explosion damage to targets within a hundred meters in front.
The damage is based on the fire skill amplification level.
Cooling time: 1 hour
Active skill: Fire Slash
It consumes 30 script points to create explosive flames within a twenty-meter diameter area centered on itself.
The surrounding targets have a 60% chance of being knocked back.
Cooling time: 2 hours
"Roar!!!"
The flaming tiger-shaped sword energy let out a deafening roar, and suddenly a fiery red cloud exploded from the puppet. It was so heavy that it was suffocating, and the red earth collapsed directly.
A large piece of the puppet exploded into pieces, and the fragments were instantly turned into charred ashes by the terrifying high temperature.
But this is just an appetizer.
"Demon had arrived!"
The fire of hell ignited, turning into a set of evil armor on Xu Tong's body, burning all the hellfire, covering the blade of the sword along his hand.
When the corrosive fire, hell fire, and flaming sword energy were mixed together, the flames turned into a strange vermilion, giving people an indescribable sense of evil.
Plus Pure Yang Sword, +1 to sword skills
The Demon King's Advent adds +2 to fire skills.
The combination of the two has increased the lethality of the Fiery Sword Qi to level LV3.
Fortunately, it was a divine weapon like the Pure Yang Sword. Otherwise, other weapons might not be able to withstand the powerful power brought by such strange flames.
I saw the blade of the sword waving, and these puppets, who were as big as mountains, were almost defenseless under the vermilion flames. When the blade of the sword passed by, the terrifying high temperature directly burned them into ashes.
If other players saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. Fire-type players are recognized for their powerful bursts, but most fire-type players' skills have a long cooldown limit.
There are very few that last as long as Xu Tong's, and the strange vermilion flames are so terrifying that they are staggeringly powerful.
In the blink of an eye, the puppets that were refreshed were burned to ashes.
"Kakakaka..."
At this time, two puppets were attacking Xu Tong from behind. The puppets were holding long spears, and the spear points stirred up large afterimages in the air. Their speed and terrifying power were enough to kill ordinary players instantly.
Xu Tong jumped up, like a leaping eagle. While dodging the gunshot, he collided back and forth among many puppets. These puppets counterattacked as fast as lightning, but Xu Tong easily dodged them.
I saw that after he activated the active skill of [Master of Colorful Play], the boots under his feet also emitted a faint green light.
This pair of shoes is the new prop card that Xu Tong drew from the prop book.
【Void Boots】
After wearing it, your dodge ability is enhanced by 40%
And comes with an active skill and a passive skill.
Active skill: Lingbo Wuhen.
Consumes 10 script points and increases movement speed by 200% after activation.
Duration: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 2 hours.
Passive skill: Walking in the snow without leaving a trace
The holder ignores the troubles of natural terrain, such as in mountains, forests and snowy areas, which are difficult places to walk on, and can walk on flat ground without being affected by the natural environment.
Coupled with the Liangyi Mochen Step, Xu Tong became even more erratic as he walked and dodged, like a ghost.
If these shoes are combined with my own item card [Leopard Soul Cloak], the straight-line speed can almost reach an unimaginable speed.
The figure shuttled back and forth, the flames on the sword blade were retracted, and the sword seemed to be both clever and heavy. It moved forward against the fist blade thrust by the puppet, and effortlessly brought the puppet's huge body to the ground.
Before the puppet could get up, Xu Tong swiped his side sword, and the blade came up from bottom to top, as fast as thunder and lightning. The sword edge made a smooth, mirror-like cut, and directly cut off the puppet's head.
This basic Tai Chi Sword book is indeed a masterpiece that I bought when Xu Tong was at the peak of his luck.
Many people are confused by the name of this prop card.
In fact, the power of this swordsmanship is much more powerful than those ordinary basic skills.
With the blessing of the two prop cards [Martial Arts] and [Sword Weapon], Xu Tong was in a trance, and his mind entered a state of enlightenment.
The Pure Yang Sword in his hand is sometimes sharp and fast, sometimes as slow as a turtle.
With swordsmanship that seems both fast and slow, he has mastered the essence of Tai Chi Sword in his hands.
At this point, it can be considered as entering the palace.
Even when facing more and more puppets in front of him, he didn't feel any effort at all. Instead, he felt like he was becoming more courageous the more he killed.
It's a pity that these are puppets, not flesh and blood.
Otherwise, if you activate [Chapter of Killing] again, your strength will increase to another level.
Of course, it was thanks to the Pure Yang Sword that I was able to maneuver freely in such a difficult training ground.
Even if we put aside the entry bonus of the Chunyang Sword, the Chunyang Sword's blade can cut as hard as clay, making these puppets as solid as iron almost invincible.
However, the mechanism of the training ground is that as time goes by, the number of puppets will be refreshed, and occasionally there will be a few elite puppets.
These elite puppets not only wear thick plate armor, but the weapons on their hands also begin to diversify.
Gradually, Xu Tong began to struggle with his sword skills alone.
If it weren't for the Pure Yang Sword that could still cut through the armor of these puppets, I'm afraid that I might not be able to hold on just with my sword skills.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a thunder-like sound of a bow sounded. Xu Tong had already evaded in advance with his strong perception.
However, the arrow passed by him and brought up a terrifying airflow in an instant, still tearing a bloody wound on Xu Tong's chest.
Looking sideways, he saw a humanoid puppet standing not far away, with a general's helmet on his head and an exaggerated long bow in his hand.
Even though the arrow just made the puppet freeze for a long time, the feeling of oppression brought by the bow was still very strong.
Obviously this is the puppet general for this challenge.
Seeing this, Xu Tong's eyes turned cold and he swung his sword to kill him.
The densely packed puppets surged up like a shield wall, giving themselves no chance to rush through.
There were even several elite puppets standing in front of Xu Tong. The blades and giant hammers in their hands formed an airtight wall, forcing Xu Tong to fly back with overwhelming crushing force.
Instead of rushing past, the distance is getting farther and farther.
At this time, the puppet's stiffness gradually recovered, and he bent the bow and nocked an arrow. An arrow as thick as an adult's arm was placed on the long bow.
"Kakakaka..."
The bow string made a harsh and tense sound, and the long bow was pulled into a full moon by the puppet.
At the critical moment when the arrow was shot, Xu Tong's figure suddenly disappeared in front of these puppets. At the same time, with a light blue light, Xu Tong's figure appeared behind these puppets, a distance away
The archers are no more than ten meters away.
A distance of more than ten meters is enough for me.
The Leopard Soul Cloak was activated, leaving only an afterimage, which arrived in front of the archer almost in the blink of an eye.
"Buzz!"
There was a sword cry and the sword light pierced straight into the archer's chest the next moment.
At this time, the puppets all turned around and found that the archer had been killed by Xu Tong.
[Time Walker] This is the third prop card Xu Tong got from the prop book, and it is also the most precious prop card.
【Time Walker】
Time will be your friend, but be careful, those who rely too much will eventually die in time.
Passive skill 1: Seventh Little Awakening
The carrier has a strong sense of time and space around him, and can detect abnormalities early that ordinary people cannot detect.
Active Skill 1: Traveler's Mark
Spend 2,000 script points to leave a mark where you have walked. When you encounter danger, you can activate the mark and turn back time to the moment when you left the mark.
The mark interval must not exceed one minute.
And cannot have an impact on other people and the environment.
Cooling time: one week
"The puppet general was killed, this challenge was successful!"
Following the prompt, Xu Tong disappeared from the training ground.
At the same time, a large number of proficiency levels emerged in a flash, instantly increasing the proficiency levels of both the Fire Swordsmanship and the Sword Weapon.
Because of [Transferring Martial Arts], Xu Tong had already gained some proficiency in the training ground.
At this moment, a lot of proficiency came up.
Looking again, the Fire Swordsmanship skill Fire Passion has been directly upgraded to level three, and the level of the sword has also reached level four.
The Five-Animal Capture Master is still a little short of reaching the full level.
It is worth mentioning that after the sword reaches level 4, other entries remain unchanged, but a passive item is added.
Sword Heart: Increase the understanding of swordsmanship by 30%
It is indeed a good thing. Although I can't use it now, if I want to make a breakthrough in the way of swordsmanship, this passive will be even more precious.
“It’s really a good place, but it’s too expensive!”
Seeing the rapid improvement in proficiency, Xu Tong looked at his gold badge again, and finally resisted the urge to go in and try again.
Looking at the time, it was almost time. With a thought in his mind, he left the high-end exhibition area and went to the bar of the ordinary exhibition.
It was still the same position, but after sitting down, Xu Tong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The guy who once sat across from him and talked to him might never come back.
Five beers were ordered and placed on the table.
Not long after, the two people stood up from the nearby table and sat directly in front of Xu Tong.
"Antu? Zhao San?"
The two nodded and heard Zhao San's voice coming from the team channel: "It's us!"
Identity confirmed.
Xu Tong picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "To Anman, to Damu."
In the last script world, the deaths of Anman and Damu were definitely not what Xu Tong wanted to see.
In any case, the other party entered Amantes Hospital with the intention of helping him. Xu Tong could not say that he felt guilty about the deaths of the two people, but he was still a little helpless.
William and Zhao Sanyi toasted together. The death of their teammate was also a huge blow to them.
After the three of them drank all the wine in their glasses.
Before William could speak, Xu Tong submitted an application to withdraw from the team.
"Hey, actually you can think about it. After all, our team is already a relatively mature team. If you want, the position of the deputy team is yours."
William seemed to have expected this result, and he knew at a glance that Xu Tong would not be the kind of person who likes to rely on others.
But he still tried his best to win over Xu Tong.
"No, I still have my own teammates. After completing the promotion task, I will start building my own team."
"All right!"
After William heard this, he stopped pressing and agreed to Xu Tong's application without hesitation.
"Did you apply for arbitration last time?" Zhao San remembered something and asked.
As players who participated in the script, they also received a compensation.
Of course, although the compensation may not be as generous as Xu Tong's, it has also saved them a lot of losses.
Regarding this question, Xu Tong just grinned and did not answer.
William took out a piece of paper from the props book and put it on the table, pushing it in front of Xu Tong: "No matter what, we are playing as a team, so you should be more careful recently."
Xu Tong took a look at the piece of paper and saw that it was actually a wanted order, and the wanted person turned out to be that fat guy Li Bo.
Xu Tong couldn't help but feel a little happy now. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, so William and Zhao San couldn't see his expression.
"This guy……"
Looking at this guy's reward, it turns out that it's not low, it has reached 8,000 script points.
I don’t know if he has done something so outrageous that someone would actually spend money to arrest him.
But before this incident, Da Mu seemed to have mentioned it to him, but he didn't take it to heart at the time.
He nodded and accepted the wanted order.
William stopped wasting time with Xu Tong and extended his palm: "I hope we can continue to cooperate when we meet next time, provided that you are alive first."
Xu Tong nodded and stretched out his hand: "That's the best."
After the two stood up and left, Xu Tong did not leave the bar.
Instead, he asked the bartender to serve two more beers.
Place one cup in front of yourself and one cup on the empty seat opposite.
He slowly took out a cigar that he hadn't smoked for a long time from the props book, cut off the butt of the cigar, lit the flame, and slowly roasted the cigar.
Until the surface of the cigar is carbonized, put it to your mouth and smoke it.
Time passed minute by minute.
The cigar gradually became shorter on Xu Tong's fingertips.
It wasn't until half an hour passed that Xu Tong finally threw the cigar into the ashtray, stood up and walked out of the bar.
When I reached the door of the bar, I didn't forget to look back. Unfortunately, no one sat on the empty seat...
