"Seven points of effort, three points of retention."
Lu Ping'an swung his heavy battle ax, and every blow seemed to come with all his strength, but in fact, he left some room for it.
"Hitting an attack doesn't mean it's over. Take a breath while releasing your strength. Remember, always be alert to your opponent's counterattack. The speed of ax fighting is never fast..."
Before he could pull out the battle ax from the fallen Minotaur, Lu Ping'an kicked a nearby Gargoyle away with a fierce kick.
"...If you encounter a crisis, physical skills, holding the battle ax horizontally to block, and even abandoning the ax are all conventional options that can be chosen. But the Wave School is slightly different..."
Lu Ping'an held the ax handle with both hands. It seemed that he was holding it tightly, but in fact he only used three fingers on each hand. He was playing with skill.
"Wall dance, wave chop."
What exerts force is actually the lower body, the left foot exerts force, the right foot serves as the axis, the hands are just levers, and the tomahawk is just a pendulum.
Silver light danced, and the surrounding monsters were forced back or chopped away.
This is the Wave School, a unique school with "round dance" as the core of its combat skills.
It does not have the big chops, slashes, and collisions of the conventional tomahawk style. Even the hair grip is unreliable with a three-finger light grip. Most of the combat skills are seemingly light "spinning chops."
But there is no doubt about its power.
This is the fourth floor of the secret realm. This floor has been turned into a small maze, and an astonishing thirty monsters have arrived.
And in just a few rounds of fighting, seventeen of them were killed.
Lu Ping'an took a deep breath. His arms hurt, but what hurt more was his feet. The tendons stung as if they were strained.
This seemingly ax technique used with both hands, and the power point of various "round dances" is actually the feet, which puts far more pressure on the lower body than the upper body.
"Using the entire body as a whole is a rare feature of high-end martial arts. This cutting method is a good one."
The big cat understood again, maybe because he looked at the knight's face, he made a few friendly comments.
And under this whole "round dance", Lu Ping'an was surprised to find that his physical exertion was not actually high.
The other side of the Wave School, which is like a spinning top and is constantly rotating, is good at circular dance and large-scale slashing. It is that when people follow the ax and it becomes the norm, the two feet bear the consumption of the hands, and the overall consumption of the person is greatly reduced.
"...It is a battlefield killing martial art, very suitable for group battles and protracted battles."
This is undoubtedly an anomaly among ax battles that specializes in explosive and short-term bloody battles, but it is surprisingly suitable for the current Lu Ping An.
Its requirements for physical hardware are relatively low, but its requirements for perception and balance are not low. And due to the existence of the genre characteristic "resonance", it has low consumption in a wide range, but at the same time, the lethality is sufficient.
In the midst of the killing, Lu Ping'an remained calm, and he only acted as the heroic spirits drove him.
You can relax, let the heroic spirits use their bodies, and learn to master this otherworldly martial art.
[The host has gained a small amount of experience in using battle axes, and the current general skill is battle ax skills (wave style) lv3, 91/100. 】
Unknowingly, the improvement of this ax skill has reached a critical point. However, because he has no professional ax fighting, even if he breaks through, he will not get the branch blessing... But with the experience of all-weapon specialization, he knows
, there are many things that seem useless now, but sooner or later they will shine.
[The host gains a small amount of experience in the strange breathing method.]
Lu Ping'an was a little surprised at first with this endless reminder, and then he suddenly realized.
This martial arts school that "returns energy" extremely quickly and is almost perpetually moving naturally requires a dedicated "internal skill (breathing method)" to cooperate.
There is no rationing in the secret realm limited to blessings, but "Heroic Spirit Road Peace" naturally also uses his own breathing method when using martial arts. With the help of the system, it is normal for him to have some experience in breathing methods... I just don't know how to do it.
Don’t skimp on features and unique skills.
"With a long-handled weapon like a tomahawk, combat rhythm is the basis, and keeping distance is the key. It is very counter-intuitive. This is a profession that does not require recklessness. A reckless slash may not be followed."
Pulling out the battle ax from the last unlucky gargoyle, he walked safely to the road to the next level.
Then with just one glance, he was a little bit off guard.
"...Sure enough, it's living armor again, why should I say 'Sure enough'."
Lu Pingan looked at the sky and had the urge to raise his middle finger to the ceiling.
But since he already knew some "inside information", he would never actually do it. He would be stupid enough to offend the master of the secret realm who can secretly wear small shoes for you for no reason.
When things got to this point, he already knew that it couldn't be luck.
Maybe it was the "fairness" principle of the secret realm that came into play. Having obtained the overly powerful Wave Ax Technique, I was probably destined to have a fight with the Living Armor today.
"Looking at the best, at least it's not the Ghost Rider, nor the living murals or slime creatures in the labyrinth monster. At least it doesn't give me physical immunity. ... Well, there is no such thing below the 10th floor.
It’s strange, living armor is already the king among garbage monsters.”
There are three major categories in the Master Knight's secret realm: labyrinth monsters, living armors (poor spirits), and ghost creatures, each one more disgusting than the last.
The only good thing is that ghost creatures that are almost incomprehensible to low-level professionals will not appear in buildings below the fifteenth floor.
"It's the fifth floor. There should be a mini-boss. I heard that it's usually a first-level peak professional creature. It's a rusty knight professional template. It's the type that's fierce on the battlefield."
This time there was only one living armor, but it was of a golden giant shape. The giant tower shield that was as tall as a person made Lu Ping'an suspect that he was being targeted again.
The opponent's giant halberd, which was regarded as a one-handed axe, gave way safely and confirmed the reality of being targeted.
"...Corrugated Battle Ax? Damn, he's from the same school."
Special martial arts often require special weapons to match them. Although the battle ax in Lu Ping'an's hand is of good quality, it is not suitable for the wave chopping method.
It is too short and too light, and is not suitable for various round dance and long-handled sweeping martial arts.
When using the battle ax, among the memory fragments fed back by the heroic spirit, there is a model of a living armor battle ax in front of him.
The slender handle of the axe, the center of gravity of the ax head, and the corrugated saw blade on the blade make this a powerful battle ax specially designed for the wave chopping method.
The first person to move was the living armor who had completed the knight's ceremony.
"when!"
With just one blow, Lu Ping'an frowned.
It wasn't that he suffered a loss, it was just that the feeling of being hit by the golden shield was wrong.
The shield seemed to be knocked away, but in fact it actively retreated, borrowing its own strength, and followed the familiar "circle dance".
"...Is this okay?"
In fact, it is really feasible. This offensive martial skill is used on a defensive shield.
Every time Lu Ping'an slashed, he was easily deflected and unloaded.
Once Lu Ping'an used too much force and lost his balance, his opponent's right-hand tomahawk struck and struck Lu Ping'an at the most uncomfortable angle and position.
Lu Ping'an draws a circle with himself as the center and the ax as the radius.
The entire body of the living armor in front of me is a circle, and the shield in the left hand and the ax in the right hand are both radius.
In this way, Xiao Yuan fights against Big Yuan. Naturally, Xiao Yuan saves more effort and is faster... Well, there seems to be no need to save effort with the living armor. In short, Lu Ping'an was restrained quite miserably.
Lu Ping'an's fight was extremely uncomfortable. Every moment must be carefully considered to ensure that the body continues to "circle dance". If it cannot keep up with the rhythm or has disrupted breathing, it will result in a direct gameover.
The audience outside was already shocked.
"Is this a level 1 professional monster? No matter what, no BOSS on the 10th level is this outrageous."
Occupation and level are just a box, with a huge gap between the upper and lower limits. The GM (administrator) of the maze has a hundred ways to kill you within the rules.
But Lu Ping'an himself, although it was very difficult, became happier with each passing day.
His attacks became smoother and smoother, his breathing became smoother and smoother, and his "circle" became more and more handy.
No matter how creative a person's solo dance is, there are limits. Overly exciting self-expression can easily lose its limits.
Every time the ax and shield collide, it is the two circles crossing each other, and it is also a verification of each other.
When the two dancers collide and create sparks, the rhythms of both parties are forcibly brought closer, and they are constantly contrasting each other.
Lu Ping'an, the newcomer, was actually taken flying.
"when!"
Another round of slashing, this time Lu Ping'an persisted to the fourth circle, while his opponent was at least half a step ahead.
This was unthinkable at the beginning of the battle. Lu Ping'an couldn't even draw the second circle. The level 12 temporary cutting technique could only be used at one or two levels in actual combat.
[The host has gained a small amount of experience in using battle axes, and the current general skill is battle ax skill (wave style) lv3,99/100.]
Before he could check the system prompts, Lu Pingan had already focused all his mental attention on the opponent in front of him.
Time? This level has lasted for at least fifteen minutes, but Lu Pingping doesn't care at all.
He knew that he might not be able to win today, so if he wanted to win, he would have to expose more things...
"Let's try using the characteristics of the level 10 slashing technique first. Don't expect too much. He must have seen it... If necessary, combine it with my own stuff. I originally planned to hide it until the next round.
Fighting against candidates."
After a fierce battle, Lu Ping'an no longer had the novice expectation of "killing instantly by throwing a sure kill". This may be his biggest gain.
Although Lu Ping'an's hidden brand-new tactics won praise from Xue En, it is unlikely to surpass the level 12 wave slashing technique when it comes to dealing with living armor.
He originally thought that in this case, he might as well keep it for later use, but he didn't expect to encounter such a trouble at the beginning, so he had to use it together.
But when Lu Ping'an was wholeheartedly planning his next attack, the living armor suddenly took action.
He suddenly put down the ax and shield in his hands, took a step back, and made way for the road behind him.
There, the stairs leading to the upper floor appeared unconsciously.
Is the fair rule taking effect again? This place has exceeded the difficulty level of the fifth level. Is it time to end?
Or has the "heroic spirit" in front of me completed its duty to teach the younger generations and can take a good rest?
Seeing this scene, Lu Pingan was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
The young man imitated what he had seen, performed a knight's salute, and then went upstairs.
The living armor that was left in place turned into black mist and returned to the tower after returning the gift.
[The host has gained a moderate amount of battle ax usage experience, battle ax skill (wave style) upgrade, current lv4,,1/100.]
[The host gains a small amount of experience in the strange breathing method...The host gains the characteristics of the deep swimming breathing method.]
