Final Priesthood

Chapter 443 [Wind Spirit Sword Shadow Stream], plan, cultivate genius!

 Lu Yuan is also summarizing himself.

This actual combat gave him a more comprehensive understanding of the performance of the mecha he was currently controlling.

 The advantages and disadvantages of the Blue Falcon III mecha are obvious.

 It is very good in terms of speed and agility, but it is really inferior in terms of defense and strength.

If it weren't for the blessing of his fighting consciousness as a [Martial Arts Master], and he could instinctively avoid the opponent's attacks and find the opponent's weakest position to attack during the battle, this battle would not have ended so easily.

Lu Yuan looked at his clearance time, which was 6 minutes and 34 seconds.

 Not too fast, not too slow.

Compared with Lu Qiyuan, who had been stuck for more than a month and couldn't pass this level, he was naturally much better.

But Lu Yuan saw that on the system rankings, the fastest record for clearing this level was 1 minute and 20 seconds.

 Compared to more than six minutes and more than one minute, the gap is a bit big.

 He had made a request to Lu Lingfeng before. Since Lu Lingfeng had promised him, he would definitely not break his promise.

 But now that I have come out, I am still full of energy, just like I just woke up, and I don’t feel tired at all.

The current time is 11:15, which is still fifteen minutes before the Lu family’s usual lunch time. Lu Yuan was reminded to quit by the alarm clock set by Lu Qiyuan in the game.

 After all, in addition to your brain, your body also needs a lot of practice and operations to learn and remember many things.

 The hatch of the game cabin opened as if deflated. Lu Yuan opened his eyes and climbed up from the cabin.

Of course, these things are too far away for him so far.

Lu Yuan looked at the pile of mecha strengthening materials in the clearance reward, and an idea came to his mind.

At first it was nothing, but after experiencing it in the game, Lu Yuan now began to look forward to owning a real mecha.

 After leaving the game, the feeling of controlling the mecha immediately faded from the body like an ebbing tide.

The top game store is expensive for this reason. It has built-in human body adjustment and mental recovery functions, which is as good as half a health care device.

 He hasn't even officially started a pilot career yet.

If you want to develop in this direction in the future, this is also a path that you must take. Doing it now can be regarded as preparation in advance.

Lu Yuan walked to the weapon rack and picked up the sword on the rack to inspect it.

 No matter how powerful virtual technology is, it cannot restore reality 100%. There is a gap between "dreaming" and reality after all.

 What Lu Yuan likes the most is the fighting style of Shenxiang Style, in which punches hit the flesh and pure force crushes.

However, he didn't plan to go down to eat. Instead, he walked out of the mecha training room and entered the exercise room next door.

This is just like the rising tide of the sea. What is left on the beach after the inspiration ebbs is truly your own.

“Who says the Blue Falcon must be a speed type? No one stipulates that it must carry two swords.”

That is.

 Sword!

 One-handed sword.

 Similarly, the dual-sword attack with cold weapons also made him a little unaccustomed to using his bare hands.

 The biggest role of virtual battles is to cultivate a pilot’s combat awareness.

“The positioning of the Blue Falcon is still more of a team support. Fighting alone is not the strength of this mecha.”

 The function of freely building mechas is mainly prepared for powerful pilots who want to experiment with their own ideas.

 In this game, players have complete freedom to build their own mechas.

 Two one-handed swords.

There are a large number of physical exercise equipment in this exercise room, but most of them have never been touched by Lu Qiyuan.

 Looking at the time, he saw that he had been in the game for a total of three hours and twenty-eight minutes.

There is only one thing that he uses quite frequently.

After completing levels 1-6, he went on to pass a few more levels, and then played a few single-player and team-based games. It can be said that he was always in a "combat state."

I just don’t know when my mecha will be sent back.

 After all, others used level one mechas to pass this level, and at best they were of higher quality than him, reaching the perfect level.

 A top pilot must have a unique mecha that can maximize his abilities.

 How much you can bring the experience accumulated in the game back to reality depends entirely on your personal ability.

“Perhaps I can consider changing the direction to modify and strengthen the Blue Falcon”

 Blue Falcon's attributes limit his performance.

 “And my own fighting style is not like this either”

 This is obviously a specialized sword, made of a special alloy, and the overall color is jet black.

“In reality, there is no real mecha for reference training. No matter how much virtual training is done, the effect will be much worse.”

 It's just that the cost will be very high. Lu Yuan naturally does not have this strength at the moment, but he can make some upgrades he wants based on the existing mecha.

 “A game is just a game after all”

The sword in Lu Yuan's hand is slightly shorter than an ordinary one-handed sword, but longer than a normal dagger. Can it be said to be a medium dagger?

 The center of gravity of the sword is also different from that of ordinary long swords. It falls about five inches below the tip of the sword.

The hilt of the sword is also somewhat special and can be held in both forward and reverse ways. Obviously, in the process of using this type of sword to fight, the method of holding the sword needs to change.

Lu Yuan gently held the two long swords in his hands, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in Lu Qiyuan's memories.

 After a moment, it opened again.

 His body moved, and then he began to practice a special sword technique.

 After completing the drill, Lu Yuan walked to the wall and pressed lightly on a certain location on the wall.

Soon, a blue beam of light was cast on the ceiling of the exercise room, and the beam formed a three-dimensional illusory human figure.

 The body shape is almost exactly the same as Lu Yuan.

This humanoid is also holding a long sword similar to Lu Yuan's hand.

It started to move very quickly and Lu Yuan followed suit.

He practiced again following the figure, and Lu Yuan followed closely and practiced alone again, constantly adjusting and correcting his movements during the process.

This goes back and forth several times.

 When practicing this sword technique for the fifth time.

"Ding-"

 A prompt message popped up on the panel in Lu Yuan’s mind—

  【Congratulations on learning a new skill—lv1 Wind Spirit Sword Shadow Stream! 】

At the same time, the polyhedron in Lu Yuan's mind began to rotate.

 From the black vortex on the front to a face with a goat's head printed on it, a light shines on it, click on it, and a new skill appears -

 【lv1 Wind Spirit Sword Shadow Stream (0/100)】

 At this time, Lu Yuan completely stopped what he was doing.

 “The Lu family’s family tradition of swordsmanship”

It is also a mecha combat method that matches the spiritual power training method of "Rhythm of Wind".

The predecessor, Lu Qiyuan, practiced for five or six years without getting started, but Lu Yuan started to master it a few times and successfully understood it.

Although he successfully mastered a swordsmanship, Lu Yuan didn't have much joy on his face.

Mainly, he found that this sword technique was quite strange, and it was different from any other cold weapon tactics he had learned before.

“Many movements violate the normal rules of force generation of the human body. If they are performed forcefully in actual combat, not only will they have no effect, but they will expose flaws to the enemy.”

It can be said that the improvement of Lu Yuan's actual combat ability by this [Wind Spirit Sword Shadow Style] sword technique is almost zero.

Is it possible that this sword technique is not for normal people to use?

Yes.

This is basically a mecha swordsmanship specially tailored for mechas.    Precisely because of the difference in body shape and structure between the mecha and the human body, it would seem so awkward and weird to use the human body to perform this sword technique.

“Actually, it’s not impossible to use it in actual combat. It just needs to be slightly modified in some places.”

Lu Yuan has also practiced a few skills on his home planet. Although he is not very good at cold weapon combat, that is relatively speaking.

One method can apply to all methods. With the background of a martial arts master, it is still very easy to make this modification.

At this moment, an idea suddenly came to Lu Yuan's mind.

“The mecha swordsmanship can be modified into swordsmanship suitable for human use. So, can the techniques suitable for human use be modified and put on mechas?”

As soon as this idea came up, it was like a wildfire starting a prairie fire, and it was out of control.

If possible, it would not only be swordsmanship, but also swords, guns, axes, hammers, and fists and feet. That is what Lu Yuan is best at.

“It is feasible to a certain extent, but when it comes to the gap between the human body and the fuselage, I am very familiar with the former, while the latter requires a large amount of professional knowledge in the field of mecha construction.”

Lu Yuan’s mind was spinning rapidly.

  Can't help but think of the name Xu Mingguang again.

It’s not that I’m thinking of Xu Mingguang, but I’m thinking of something else related to Xu Mingguang.

 —Energy Mechanic!

 In a world where mecha combat is the mainstream, there are pilots who are responsible for controlling mecha combat, and naturally there are also manufacturers who are responsible for developing and developing mechas.

 This is the kind of work that a machinist does.

“Is it possible that I still need to find time to take the exam for the qualification certificate of an artificer?”

Lu Yuan thought, if he wanted to develop in this direction, the conditions in all aspects would be much better than Xu Mingguang.

 “Let’s study it later.”

At this stage, there are too many things that need to be understood and planned for the long journey. There is no rush, so we can only arrange them one by one.

 After arriving in Duoling, Lu Yuan felt like a incomplete and dry sponge.

 While working hard to repair the broken parts of his body, he absorbed knowledge and nutrients that he had never been exposed to before.

 For a moment, it felt like I was back when I first came into contact with martial arts, and my whole person seemed extremely fulfilled.

After getting started with [Wind Spirit Sword Shadow Style], Lu Yuan did not continue practicing.

 Sit down on the ground, let your spiritual power seep in, and start to look inwards at yourself.

At this time, a blood-red flesh ball the size of a fist was suspended in the middle of his body.

Countless blood vessel-like veins extend from the surface of the flesh ball, connecting Lu Yuan's entire body.

  To be precise, this flesh ball is Lu Yuan’s real body.

 After his physical body was destroyed, only this little flesh and blood tissue was left in his body.

This bit of flesh and blood contains the essence of Lu Yuan’s martial arts, as well as the power of the Phoenix’s bloodline, and the mysterious bloodline power from Yu Wentong.

 The three bloodlines blend together and are extremely powerful.

 So it is extremely difficult to recover.

“It requires a huge amount of life energy to reshape the physical body. Lu Qiyuan is just a drop in the bucket.”

Lu Yuan thought for a while and added the last remaining attribute point on hand to the current physical constitution of only 15 points.

  After adding the attribute points, the mass of flesh and blood seemed to grow slightly stronger.

 If there is a recovery progress bar in front of Lu Yuan.

Then the progress bar is now pushed forward by one percent, maybe not even one percent.

“Do I need to add more points to the point where all four basic attributes have exceeded the limit three times before I can fully recover?”

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

This black hole-like attribute point gap makes me feel powerless just thinking about it.

 Let’s find ways to supplement life energy from outside.

 He doesn’t know what kind of energy is useful for his current state.

 Putting this troublesome problem aside for the time being, Lu Yuan closed his eyes and began to practice the two mental power cultivation methods he now mastered.

 The practice methods of "Rhythmic Wind" and "Zero Form" are quite simple.

For the former, all you need to do is keep the golden whirlwind mental power core in your mind constantly rotating, and your mental power will naturally grow bit by bit in the process.

  The latter requires actively drawing the free cosmic energy in the air into the transparent pellet.

 Looking at this comparison, "Rhythm of Wind" is indeed more advanced than "Type Zero".

 In the next few days, Lu Yuan would enter the game every day to familiarize himself with the operation of the mecha, and practice his mental power after leaving the game.

 Ever since the conversation with Lu Lingfeng, no one in the Lu family seems to care about him anymore.

He did not go to school after being discharged from the hospital. He was "addicted" to virtual battle games every day. He even did not go downstairs for three meals a day. He did it in his room without anyone saying anything.

Lu Yuan seemed to have obtained some kind of "exclusive privilege", and he suddenly became completely "free" in the Lu family.

 He himself was quite happy with it. It was better that no one bothered him, so he could concentrate on his own business.

“[Intelligence: 21 (break limit 1)].”

In the huge Lu Manor, Lu Yuan called up his attribute panel to check and strolled on the white stone path surrounded by greenery.

Today he was wearing a light-colored casual suit. His hair was freshly washed and had a somewhat fluffy and lazy look.

　　With Lu Qiyuan’s handsome appearance and slender figure, he has the temperament of a sunny and handsome boy.

 “Isn’t there an increase?”

Lu Yuan still showed the intelligence of 21 points, which was a little disappointing.

Today he has just passed through the "weak period" of both mental and physical strength. Whether it is "Rhythmic Wind" or "Zero", the core of his mental strength has been reduced to the size of his normal state.

  But it may be because both cultivation methods have only reached the entry-level level, and the improvement of intellectual attributes is not obvious.

However, there is something to be discovered after a long journey.

“My talent in spiritual cultivation seems to be pretty good.”

He was in the hospital before. He didn't feel much after starting "Type Zero" in two days. He only thought it was because Lu Qiyuan had practiced this cultivation method before and had a certain amount of experience left over, so it went so smoothly.

 But now it only took three days to pass the "weak period", and Lu Yuan began to realize that something was wrong.

His talent in spiritual cultivation seems to be very good, and the effect of his cultivation is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he has reached the level of "genius" in the general sense.

“If Lu Qiyuan had my cultivation speed, he would have entered the elite class of Duo Spirit Shield long ago, and he would not be a pure joke at home or at school.”

Lu Yuan glanced at his career panel.

 【lv2 Rhythmic Wind (13/200)】

 【lv1 Type Zero (25/100)】

 In three days, the experience points of the two spiritual cultivation methods have increased a lot.

If he continues at the current pace, he will be able to upgrade "Type Zero" to level 2 in about ten days.

 It took less than half a month from getting started with "Type Zero" to breaking through to level 2.

 This is still the result of Lu Yuan’s dual pursuits.

If this speed were exposed, I'm afraid he would be treated as a "genius" by everyone in an instant.

"It's a pity that the level of "Type Zero" is too low, and its effect on increasing the combat power of mechas is mediocre. Even if it is upgraded to lv2, it is of little use. Currently, "Rhythmic Wind" must be taken as the major, and "Type Zero" is only It can be used as an auxiliary exercise to improve intelligence, just practice it casually."

Lu Yuan was thinking casually, and unknowingly he had arrived at the gate of the manor.

Per his request, a silver-gray hover car has been waiting quietly at the entrance of the manor.

But it was different from what Lu Yuan expected. The person accompanying the hovercar was not the Lu family's butler Victor, but a man he had never seen before in the Lu family.
