I practiced 999 sword skills

Chapter 21 Don't You Can't Afford It?

"This forward slash seems unscientific!"

This was Su Ran's first reaction.

Whether it was on the barrage video website or in any other sword skill guide book, the forward slash he saw was different from Xia Muxue's.

Others' front-stepping slashes are obviously only for one stage!

How many solid basic skills and superb skills are required to launch three forward slashes in a row?

It's just terrifying!
Due to unexpected reasons, Su Ran was completely unprepared to dodge.

Fortunately, Su Ran's reaction was quick enough.

He decisively raised the sword in his hand, placed it vertically in front of him, and condensed a shield-shaped sword energy in front of him.

This is "blocking".

One of the four basic sword skills.

This is one of the focuses of Su Ran's training these days.

During these days, he practiced blocking like crazy, selectively giving up thrusts, upward thrusts and slashes for the time being.

Because he never considered letting his sword touch Xia Muxue.

In the face of absolute strength crushing, any offensive method will be easily dodged
Only the sword skill of blocking can bring real benefits.

Because it can offset a certain amount of damage from any attack directed towards you!

Clang!
The moment the two sword qi collided, there was a crisp sword cry in the air.

The damage value on Su Ran's safety charm suddenly refreshed.

3 cal.

Under the effect of blocking.

Xia Muxue's slashing attack, which was supposed to deal 20+ damage, was instantly reduced to the point where it was almost negligible.

But this doesn't mean that Su Ran doesn't have to worry about Xia Muxue's attack at all.

Because the sword shield had been broken after completing its mission of absorbing damage.

If you want to use block again, you must wait for the corresponding part of the consumed spiritual energy to recover.

During this period, the sword skill will enter a vacuum period called "cooling down" that cannot be used.

During the cool-down period, although the sword cultivator can perform sword skill movements, the sword cultivator cannot release the sword energy because his spiritual power has not been restored.

If Su Ran forced to use block during the cooling period, he could only use his sword to defend.

In this case, it is not a duel between sword cultivators, but a duel between reckless men.

Because the most powerful thing about sword cultivators is that they can freely convert spiritual power into sword energy to fight.

Almost all sword skills have a cool-down period, and the higher-level sword skills usually have a longer cool-down period.

It's just that for many relatively low-level sword skills, the cooldown period is so short that it can be ignored.

For example, Su Ran discovered that among the four basic sword skills, except for blocking, the other three almost have no cool-down period.

Wave-type sword skills such as the Earth-shattering Wave Sword itself require the process of accumulating energy, which is equivalent to the cooling-down period in sword skills.

The cooling period for blocking is a full 5 seconds!

During this 5-second vacuum period, Su Ran had no other sword skills for defense.

Xia Muxue's attack at the beginning was a bit sudden, and Su Ran was a little overwhelmed.

After successfully blocking, Su Ran immediately retreated quickly and distanced herself from Xia Muxue.

However, Xia Muxue didn't give Su Ran a chance to breathe. After seeing this, she immediately followed up.

Su Ran was forced to fight back forcefully.

when!
Two swords, one long and one short, collided.

Both of them were showing each other basic sword skills, and they had a brief exchange of blows.

But Xia Muxue gradually discovered that Su Ran would just symbolically exchange swords with her for a few times, and then immediately run away in another direction.

If he could fight with one less sword, he would fight with one less sword. He had no intention of fighting her head-on.

This guy has been hiding from the beginning until now!
"Hey!" Xia Muxue was a little angry and said loudly through gritted teeth:

"You're not a man anymore, so you just keep running away!?"

"Can't you afford it?"

Su Ran was very helpless.

this woman.

Where do all these weird sayings come from?
I can't afford to offend, can't I still hide?

What's more, he did not exceed the prescribed 100 square meters and did not commit a foul.

Besides, the competition has a time limit. Even if you keep running, when the time is up, isn’t it you who should lose?
The two of them remained in a stalemate.

Xia Muxue also gradually slowed down the pace of her attack.

Because she began to realize that although her combat power was much higher than Su Ran's, she seemed unable to keep up with this guy's speed.

"Is it really because the sword talisman and the light sword have the advantage of mobility?" Xia Muxue thought to herself.

From this point of view, if she didn't use the three-step forward slash to instantly hit her face with an explosion, she really wouldn't be able to stay close to Su Ran.

At the beginning, Xia Muxue thought that Su Ran appeared with a light sword just to make a joke.

But now it seems like it is still a routine.

at least……

He can prevent himself from losing too badly.

After all, it is more glorious to wait until the end of the game to lose, than to be instantly killed by your opponent at the beginning!
Thinking of this, Xia Muxue gave up her plan to continue chasing Su Ran.

He glanced up at the scoreboard.

Exactly 1 minutes passed.

There is less than 40 seconds left.

The referee is also staring at the stopwatch in his hand, preparing to issue a reminder in the last 30 seconds.

The audience on the stage was a little confused...

The plot was indeed different from what they imagined.

They originally thought that Su Ran would not be able to walk more than four or five times in Xia Muxue's hands.

After all, the difference in strength between the three-star swordsman and the nine-star swordsman is still too big.

Most ordinary swordsmen can only cultivate from a one-star swordsman to a six- or seven-star swordsman in the entire three years of high school.

Therefore, the duel between these two people is similar to a freshman who has just stepped into high school competing with a senior in high school to write college entrance examination papers.

If the freshmen don't cheat, they have no chance of winning!
Unless this new student is extremely talented.

Or.

He is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

But obviously, Su Ran is not the latter.

"The game should be over soon..."

"It's really not fun to fight like this. It makes me want to take a nap..."

"I really don't understand what is going on in Su Ran's mind. She knows she can't do anything to others, but she still has to provoke others. When the fight actually breaks out, everyone runs around. It really makes me laugh... …”

"That's right. You can't do anything. Run away No. 1. This is the trash you are talking about."

At this time, the commotion in the audience suddenly subsided.

Because the referee has spoken.

"The last 30 seconds!"

The countdown is running out and the game is gradually coming to an end.

And right now.

Su Ran's chance to take action came.
