Following Gushan, Yang Yu and his group moved to the back of the Adventurer's Guild.
The stars were shining, the waves were gently lapping against the shore, and the area behind the Adventurer's Guild was unexpectedly vast.
All the people from [Dragon God's Power] came over, wanting to watch the competition between Yang Yu and Gushan.
Before officially starting the competition and learning skills, Yang Yu walked up to Korola.
Korola plays a reconnaissance and support role in [Power of the Dragon God], and is also in charge of logistics and the ship.
After a few polite words, Yang Yu went straight to the point and asked Korola for two ships.
After finding out the reason, Korola complained a few words, but at Grantham's request, she still gave Yang Yu and his men two ships.
Of course, this is conditional.
But Rola didn't want Yang Yu and the others to think that it was their duty for [The Power of Dragon God] to help them, so she asked Yang Yu and the others for a hefty rental fee. If the hull was damaged, they would have to pay extra repair fees.
Yang Yu directly said that it would be wrong to blackmail you when I return, so I will ask Chirom to invest in you. Not to mention two ships, I can even buy ten brand new ships and return them to you.
Although he still had a lot of money on him, Yang Yu frantically prepared a bunch of supplies before leaving the Reflection City. After returning to the Republic of Teren, he might have to pay a considerable purchasing fee to the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce, so Yang Yu did not mention buying the ship directly.
Just rent it, who’s afraid of who
After reaching an agreement with Korola, Yang Yu walked back to the beach under the shining stars.
Gushan, who is two meters and three meters tall, had been waiting there for a long time, holding out a shield as big as himself, and his sleek bald head reflected the light cast by the Adventurer's Guild.
Patting his shield, Gushan took a stance and said to Yang Yu:
“Once you are ready, attack.
I am ready.
Since you want to learn skills from me, I have to show you the techniques of using these skills.
As for whether you can learn it, that depends on your own ability."
"Then please, Senior Gushan of [Dragon God's Might], show some mercy."
Before Yang Yu finished his words, he flew several meters away and arrived in front of Gushan in a breath.
A long sword appeared in Yang Yu's hand, and a red light pierced into his palm, illuminating his sword blade with an orange glow.
Gushan is responsible for the defense of [Dragon God's Power] and his defense is ridiculously high. Yang Yu does not have armor-piercing attacks like Ias, nor can he release powerful magic like Bai Jin. This battle is destined to be quite long.
Yang Yu's strategy is to continuously use [Double-Sided Slash] to burn blood, reducing his own blood volume to the point where he can use [Furious Blood], and then use the true damage of [Furious Blood] to penetrate Gushan's defense and cause real damage to him.
Yang Yu had no intention of actually knocking Gushan down, but only with the determination to knock him down completely, could Yang Yu see what Gushan, the senior with the [Power of the Dragon God], could do.
Gushang raised his huge shield and released [Shield Block] for defense. Yang Yu did not choose to fight head-on.
Several tiny footprints appeared on the beach, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Yu went behind Gushan.
Focusing his gaze, Gushan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. This speed was far beyond that of most assassins he had ever seen.
Before the test began, Gushan had estimated how fast Yang Yu would be, but he didn't expect it to be this fast.
Having captured Yang Yu's [Double-Sided Slash], Gushan's expression became solemn.
Rely on speed to provide support, use the body to bear the damage, and then use special skills to make up for the damage. This skill that causes pain to the body can be used as soon as it is needed.
With just a few simple movements, Gushan realized Yang Yu's proficiency as an adventurer, and he had already decided in his heart not to give Yang Yu any chance.
"[The Immovable Rock]"
Facing Yang Yu's attack, Gushan did not dodge. With his speed, he had no time to dodge.
Most of the warriors who prefer defense have a tendency to pursue defense and give up speed. Gushan is tall and strong, and is born to be a defensive warrior, so he has not specifically enhanced his speed.
As long as my eyes can keep up with Yang Yu's movements, there will be no problem.
Gushan has been an adventurer for more than thirty years and has seen all kinds of enemies.
Faced with Yang Yu's high-speed advance, Gushan naturally had his own way of dealing with it.
A magic circle shining with golden light suddenly appeared at the foot of Gushan. The golden ripples swept across Gushan's body at an extremely fast speed like waves washing over the beach.
Yang Yu's sword, with 10% of its maximum health, struck Gushan, only scraping off a thin layer of blood and skin.
[Immovable Rock] is a skill that can continuously provide damage reduction as long as you stand still. The more skilled you are in using it, the more damage reduction you can increase.
Like Gushan now, every time he uses this skill he can reduce nearly 80% of the damage.
Such a powerful skill naturally has its own limitations.
After activating [Immovable Rock], the body seemed to be embedded in a block of ice, completely unable to move.
Fortunately, the [Immovable Rock] state can be canceled actively.
As long as it is used well, this skill is equivalent to reducing 80% of the damage in an instant.
This is also how Gushan is used.
After blocking Yang Yu's [Double-Sided Slash], Gushan instantly removed the effect of [Immovable Rock] and exerted strong control on Yang Yu who was nearby.
"[Falling into the Quagmire]"
The sand around Gushan was agitated, agglomerated and stuck together. In an instant, the rustling sand turned into a sticky mud without any warning.
As Yang Yu moved on the muddy ground, his speed suddenly slowed down.
Throwing the shield under his feet to increase the contact area with the mud, Yang Yu pulled his feet out of the mud and stepped on the shield.
Yang Yu also knew the skill [Sunk in the Quagmire]. The deceleration imposed by this skill would end quickly, and would be replaced by restraints that required some effort to break free of.
As Yang Yu expected, after a short while, the originally muddy ground solidified into flat land.
If Yang Yu had not pulled his feet out of the mud in time, the part below his ankle would have been buried in the soil, and it would take some effort to pull it out forcibly.
The mud on his feet began to harden as the magic power faded. Before Yang Yu took out a new shield, Gushan swung the huge shield and used [Shield Slam] to smash towards him.
[Shield Slam] is a skill that uses one's own defense to cause damage. Gushan's defense is over seven thousand. If it hits, it will cause considerable damage to Yang Yu.
Using the sword to support the shield under his feet, Yang Yu jumped up. The moment his feet touched the Gushan shield, he started [Climbing] and bent his legs slightly to cushion his body.
Yang Yu actually fell on Gushan's shield and drifted with the shield.
