For a warrior, there is a pain called losing a handy weapon.
This cannot be solved by simply picking up another type of weapon halfway.
For example, the expertise of "Weapon Specialization" can designate a "weapon" to increase the attack by 1 level, while "Weapon Specialization" can also designate a weapon to increase the damage by 2 points.
There are even advanced specialization weapons and advanced specialization weapons later. Once the weapons are changed, unless someone like Zhao Xu with "Chaos Double Wash" can start over, everyone else will have to struggle to go back to the original weapons.
This is also the weak point of the warrior. It took a whole four specialties, and the increased power added up is only as strong as the first-level divine spell "Divine Grace".
But what Zhao Xu cares about is not just that.
Being able to transfer other weapons means that the "expertise" of some designated weapons can also be transferred with this ability, which relies on his subsequent digging.
For the next half day, the old man Ying Bubai broke apart the entire Nine Swords move system bit by bit and explained it to Zhao Xu.
Especially when encountering complicated places, he would easily activate his "preaching" ability and directly instill it into Zhao Xu.
As for the whole process, Zhao Xu became more frightened the more he listened.
If Arthur did not have the "existence of magic", any time traveler who came into contact with the "Nine Swords" would think that they had come into contact with a martial arts world.
However, upon careful comparison, there are slight differences.
What really makes Zhao Xu sigh is that the Nine Swords' moves and abilities are all "special abilities" and cannot be suppressed by anti-magic fields.
Slowly, Zhao Xu also changed from being a passive indoctrinator to asking questions to the old man Ying Bubai.
In particular, most of his questions come from a tricky angle, and they fall into an angle that most people can easily get used to.
"Are you really a mage, not a warrior?"
Suddenly Ying Bubai looked in deep surprise, "If it weren't for your age, I would have thought that you have been immersed in martial arts for at least ten years. The level of attack power really depends on each person. One’s ability level and innate understanding.”
"But in terms of breadth, it depends more on the accumulation of time. Especially I am sure that your previous vocational training will not involve military weapons, but you are still able to master them, which is somewhat beyond my expectation."
As he spoke, the old man Ying Bubai's eyes narrowed slightly, "You kid, you are a mage, but you have the heart of a warrior."
Zhao Xu responded with a smile.
No matter who has been a soldier for ten years, the memory of his body will never be erased.
And for the next whole day, after Ying Bubai began to practice every move of the Nine Swords System for Zhao Xu, his eyes widened even more, fearing that he would miss the key point.
Throughout the whole process, Ying Bubai also demonstrated his own level. His instructions hit the essentials straight to the point, without any ambiguity at all. He was as familiar as a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics who went directly to teach primary school mathematics.
"Sir, that 'Mofeng Sect' is a move unique to kendo masters. I shouldn't be able to follow kendo masters anymore." Zhao Xu said with an embarrassed look.
As a pragmatist, listening to Mo Feng's essentials is like when he was learning the Nine Yangs and suddenly heard the Nine Yin Scriptures next door.
He naturally accepted this readily, which was equivalent to asking about the enemy's situation in advance.
However, among the three major professions, Kendo Master has the lowest basic attack improvement and the least life. As a melee fighter, he has low toughness and low defense. These key panel data of the combat system are all shortcomings, and the school he studied is not the best. Naturally inferior.
"I'll teach you, just listen, there's so much bullshit." The old man Ying Bubai shook his head.
"This Mofeng's first-level move, 'Red Lotus Sword', after being activated, the weapon will burst out with blazing flames in this round. In the end, each hit can increase the damage by 1-6 + the martial arts level."
As he spoke, Ying Bubai recited the training essence of the "Red Lotus Sword", and the wooden sword shook on the spot, and flames instantly shot out, like an invisible fire dragon spurting out.
"Have you understood?"
Zhao Xu shook his head.
It is true that he is not a martial arts genius, except for the priest level, otherwise he has never enjoyed the refreshing feeling of soaring from the spot after hearing the Tao.
Especially since he is not a swordsman and has no use for the Mofeng faction.
"Kuchiki." Ying Bubai stomped his feet angrily, "With a talent like yours, in the Eastern Earth Empire, even the royal family would be expelled from their bloodline."
Zhao Xu grinned when he heard this, "No way. I don't have many weapons or use my bare hands to fight these."
When Ying Bubai heard this, his eyes froze slightly, "Have you heard the effect of this move?"
Zhao Xu nodded.
"Such as weapon enchantment, 'Blazing Flame' with a value of '+1', these also increase the damage by 1-6. The key is that this ability also adds an unlimited martial arts level. This move can increase the attack power of multiple weapons. power."
As half a year of game play has passed, most of the multi-weapon streams among Arthur's rangers have declined, because they are too weak compared to the shooting stream.
Multiple weapons themselves also require sufficient expertise, even if professional abilities can provide them, it is far from enough.
At the same time, the rangers also found that when the same resources were invested, the damage output of multiple weapons was actually weaker than that of a single weapon, and more people defected, leaving only the dual-weapon cult still persisting.
"If you can keenly see the purpose of the moves, that's okay. At least these moves won't be lost in your eyes."
Ying Bubai nodded as he spoke, "As for what I just taught you, can you tell me why the three major sects of Steel Soul, Iron Heart, and White Crow are the top three swords of the Nine Swords?"
Zhao Xu also didn't expect that the other party would actually ask him the conclusion he just told him.
Fortunately, he didn't swallow it all just now. The Nine Swords system was the system he had pursued when he was a warrior in his previous life. However, at that time, he was not talented enough and had no intention of marrying again or marrying into the Eastern Land. Naturally, he lost the opportunity to obtain the Nine Swords.
After being reborn at this time, it sounds delicious and at the same time it is also a kind of remembrance of the previous life.
At this time, Zhao Xu also calmly went through these moves in his mind.
Nine Swords is divided into nine factions, and each faction is divided into moves and footwork from the first level to the ninth level of difficulty. Generally speaking, each level of each faction has about one to three moves.
It's not like a mage, who has more than ten or twenty types of transformation spells.
A level 20 war blade can only learn 13 spells at most, so naturally every choice must be made carefully.
"I won't go into details about Iron Heart Style and White Crow Style. I'll just take 'Steel Soul Style' as an example."
"A level of 'Perfect Spirit' can replace the 'Will save' check with a concentration check when necessary."
"Similarly, there are the second-level 'walking before the mind' (concentration instead of reflection), and the third-level 'spiritual body control' (concentration instead of toughness). These three moves use the 'concentration' skill that is easier to stack instead of saving throws. , and more importantly, it will not fail even if the realization is 1.”
Zhao Xu knew that the other party could understand his instructions.
Fortunately, Zhao Xu is almost invincible after using a bunch of spells. Most adventurers have weak immunity and are easily targeted. Choosing one or two of these three spells can perfectly avoid their own weaknesses.
What's more important is that in the specific performance of levels 1-20, even if you behave like a coward, are in extremely uncomfortable physical condition, or have slow reactions, etc., when the superimposed performance value is level 1, you will not fail. That's the most important thing.
This avoids the possibility of "the weak defeating the strong".
If Zhao Xu has mastered these, if the concentration check itself has an 80-level bonus, then even if his performance is 1, it means that he must pass all exemptions with a difficulty level no higher than 80!
It would not happen that he clearly had a level 80 will save, but because his performance evaluation was level 1, he was defeated by a "feeble-minded spell".
Mastering these three moves gave him the confidence to no longer rely on specific results. He could decide whether to pass or not by simply comparing the values! The strong do not rely on luck!
Zhao Xu seemed to be able to speak with enthusiasm at this time and continued to talk, "The 'Jade Slash' on the second level of the Steel Soul can rely on the understanding of combat and the spirit of sharpening to find opportunities to exploit weaknesses and transform ordinary attacks into ignored ones." Armor’s contact attack.”
He said a little tangledly, "It's almost a weakened version of the ghost attack technique."
"As for the four-ring 'catapult slash', it is a theoretical continuous charge, or it can turn back and charge 180 degrees. I don't need to say more about the significance of charge in Arthur."
"At the eighth level of 'Speed Body', this footwork can turn each round into a double swift action."
Speaking of this, Zhao Xu was a little frightened.
He didn't expect to break through the movement restrictions so quickly.
If he masters this footwork, he will have two instant spells and one standard spell every round.
Compared to others who had exhausted the energy to eat milk and had two methods in one round, he had already achieved three methods in one round.
"As for the ninth level's 'Time Standstill', it can carry out full-round attacks for two consecutive rounds of time, but from the outside world, only one round of time has passed."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but shake his head at this. Although the additional movements were somewhat limited, the "quick burst" that the mage had worked hard to obtain was a different approach in the Nine Swords system.
Not to mention the "White Crow Faction" with "Charge" as its core.
The first of the Nine Swords "White Crow Tactics", at the cost of a swift action, it directly reverses the entire flow of time, changes the reaction of teammates, and changes the direction to allow teammates to obtain a similar rapid burst of costless means -
Just one more round of "bullet time" for nothing.
"Now let me choose, which move will you practice first?" Suddenly the old man Ying Bubai said.
Zhao Xu frowned slightly at this, "If I pursue the power of Iron Heart, I must first learn a martial art of the 'Iron Heart School'."
Zhao Xu showed a strange look as he said, "I will choose the 'Blade Barrier' on the second floor."
Blade barrier.
This move involves swinging the weapon back and forth, ready to block incoming blows.
Once the opponent takes action, Zhao Xu can use lightning speed to strike first and intercept the opponent's attack with weapons first.
"How to seize the opportunity?" Ying Bubai asked.
The other party didn't elaborate on this trick at first. Zhao Xu thought for a moment and answered, "I think it should be able to be mastered when I grasp the weapon as if it is part of the arm of the body."
Naturally, once this move is used, Zhao Xu's defense ability is not determined by his own defense level, but by his attack level.
Zhao Xu can even watch the opponent use a move and decide whether to use it based on the power of the move. This is also the point of his dominance.
"Very good." Ying Bubai was obviously satisfied with Zhao Xu's answer.
"Now that you know it, try it."
After saying that, the old man Ying Bubai seemed to have changed his appearance, and thrust out a sword directly out of the sky, like an antelope hanging its horns, nowhere to be found.
And the key is that at this time, Ying Bubai used a contact attack that ignored armor-"Jade Slash".
Zhao Xu's eyes were dazzled on the spot, and his eyes were completely taken away by the opponent's sword light.
He also felt that he had completely lost all the defense brought by the spells.
At this time, he was the most ordinary blank slate, and could only rely on basic dodge instinct to avoid attacks.
But this moment.
However, Zhao Xu felt the warmth coming from the "humane heaven" in his hands, and a familiar power instantly flowed out of it.
The next second, the heavy sword in his hand became automatic without wind.
Relying on the physical strength manual, even if Zhao Xu had no spells, his basic strength was 13 points. Holding a heavy sword tightly with both hands was not a problem at all.
In an instant, he saw the heavy sword shaking in his hand.
In the next moment, the wind came.
There was a muffled "bang" sound.
Zhao Xu suddenly realized that he magically moved the heavy sword across the air, blocking the old man Ying Bubai's sword full of conquest.
"How do you feel?" the old man Ying Bubai asked with a smile.
"A sense of thankfulness."
Zhao Xu could hear the heartbeat in his heart at this time, "It's like driving fast on earth, and then suddenly braking in front, and when you can't avoid it, you suddenly force a perfect lane change, the feeling of surviving a disaster. "
As he spoke, he also looked at his heavy sword in surprise. If he had been any slower just now, he would have been stabbed through the heart by the sword.
But if you go faster, you will also miss the wooden sword. Only in this unhurried and extreme state can you successfully block it.
If he were to change himself, he would definitely adopt a more conservative dodge method instead of risking his life like this.
His behavior just now was like wearing an iron glove and trying to catch an oncoming flying knife.
He could indeed catch it, but if he missed it, he would be dead on the spot. Naturally, most people would not gamble their lives like this.
Only moves can give him such confidence!
"Do you understand?" Ying Bubai asked.
"I understand." Zhao Xu also responded.
"Then let's go." As he said that, the old man Ying Bubai waved his hand towards Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but be surprised, "Senior, haven't I learned the 'power of the iron heart' yet?"
"Get out of here. Do you think I just taught you? I taught it."
The old man Ying Bubai looked at the heavy sword in Zhao Xu's hand as he said, "Heaven of humanity."
"It is the sword of all peoples. The more people you have under your command, the stronger its power will be. From now on, it will tell you all your knowledge of the Nine Swords."
