Chapter 040: Cross Tremor Sword Style
"No, with the current attack speed, I can only defend and cannot attack," Yang Chen said bitterly.
He struck, but was repelled. At the same time, the Iron Armored Explosive Tiger could not reach Yang Chen. Using Ghostly Step, Yang Chen's movement speed matched that of the beast.
Strike! Withdraw! "I wasn't repelled! Yes, as long as I strike quickly and withdraw just as fast, dodging before the Iron Armored Explosive Tiger can attack, I can avoid being repelled." Yang Chen's eyes lit up as he struck again.
Quickly withdrawing and attacking again. So fast that the Iron Armored Explosive Tiger didn't even have time to react, and both attacks landed in the same spot.
"Ha ha, striking twice in succession is definitely not my limit right now. Iron Armored Explosive Tiger, tremble!" Yang Chen laughed.
Strike, withdraw! Strike, withdraw! Strike! Repelled.
"Three strikes in a row, ha ha, three strikes in one second. This is already the highest attack speed among Heroes. But my achievements will not stop here," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Although these three strikes were consecutive attacks at the same spot, they still did not inflict any damage on the Iron Armored Explosive Tiger, leaving only a faint white mark.
"Tremor Sword can leave a faint trace on your body; without it, I can only leave a small white dot.
Even though I didn't use any fighting spirit, this might already be the limit of my strength. Without mastering Tremor Sword, I can't break through your defense," Yang Chen said bitterly.
With his current physical strength, striking three times in one second was already his limit. If he pushed further, it would damage the muscles in his right arm. However, an unexpected message from the system suddenly excited Yang Chen.
"Ding! Player has initially mastered 'Quick Sword,' system attributes reorganized."
"Ding! System reorganization complete; modifying Divine Weapon Fusion. Any equipment from The Battle of the Heroes will no longer merge into other equipment but will instead fuse with the player's physical body."
" Ding! The player has mastered the attributes of Moonlight Beauty and Divine Speed Talisman.
Physical attributes: Attack speed +60%, Evasion +25%, Movement speed +10%, Agility +30, Attack power +30."
"Physical attributes? Adding the weapon attributes from Heroes to my body? This means my body will be invincible! Ha ha. Come on, Iron Armor Explosive Flame Tiger."
After the enhancement of physical attributes, Yang Chen immediately felt a lightness throughout his body and confidently said. He charged forward, drew his sword, and sheathed it! Draw, sheath! He unleashed six strikes in a row, all hitting the same spot, creating a wound about the size of a thumb and half a centimeter deep.
"Six swords in one second?" Yang Chen frowned and said, "No, this is not the limit of my body!"
After saying that, he swung the Dragon Silk Sword again. Six swords, six swords, six swords.
"Ah ha!" Draw, sheath! Draw, sheath! Seven swords!
"Refreshing! Ha ha, seven swords!" Yang Chen laughed heartily.
As his laughter continued, at the moment he sheathed his sword, his right hand's Muscle slightly trembled.
"Trembling sword?" Yang Chen said suspiciously. Sure enough, at the wound of the Iron Armor Explosive Flame Tiger, a distinct cross appeared.
"The tremor of Muscle, so that's how it is. It's the moment of sheathing the sword that activates the tremor of my physical Muscle, resulting in a trembling sword! I understand now."
Draw, sheath!
"Wait, something feels off. It's not this kind of feeling." Yang Chen deliberately tried to create a tremor frequency but found it was completely different from what he expected.
"It's not my arm trembling; it's Muscle trembling. The human body has a total of one thousand and eighty pieces of Muscle. In my right hand, from the fingertips to the upper arm, there are one hundred and eight pieces of Muscle of various sizes. How can I control them?" Yang Chen said bitterly. "It seems necessary to find a technique for refining the body. If I rely solely on trial and error, it would be too fanciful." After saying that, he continued practicing simple draw and sheath movements.
"What's going on?" Li Qi asked.
"I'm afraid it's practicing the fundamentals of swordsmanship," Li Mu said.
"Swordsmanship? Isn't the Leader an assassin? Why is he learning swordplay?" Li Qi said, puzzled.
"The Leader must have realized his own shortcomings."
"Shortcomings?"
"Yes. I don't know if you've noticed, but every time the Leader uses Deceptive Phantom Step, he has about ten minutes of rest afterward. Unlike using Ghostly Step, which can be used continuously."
"What does that indicate?"
"It indicates that the Leader doesn't have a finishing move. In other words, once the Leader finishes using Deceptive Phantom Step, he can only use Ghostly Step to entangle the enemy while waiting for the next attack."
"Then there's no need to learn the fundamentals of swordsmanship; he could just find two ground-level combat techniques, right?" Li Qi said, still confused.
"Yang Chen is probably trying to create his own combat technique," Jiang Nan said surprisingly.
"Third Legion Commander," Li Qi and Li Mu said.
"Second Legion Commander, no need for formality between us. Let's just call each other by our names. I have no objections; I just don't know if Brother Li Mu minds."
"Not at all," Li Mu happily replied. "Brother Jiang Nan said that the Leader is creating his own combat technique?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that's it. I don't know if you all have observed closely, but the Leader's sword strikes are getting faster and faster, and occasionally he can draw a cross that deals significant damage. If he really succeeds, then he could become a Grandmaster in swordsmanship and create a new school."
"No way? Creating combat techniques again?" Li Qi said.
"Look! Nine swords, another breakthrough!" Li Mu exclaimed.
"This is still not his limit." Before Jiang Nan could finish speaking, he continued, "Look, ten swords! A cross?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ironclad Blazing Tiger's head was instantly cleaved into pieces, and even the Magic Core bore a cross mark.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for establishing a new school of thought. Please name it."
"Cross Quivering Sword Style!"
"Ding! Naming successful. The player is rewarded with 10,000 experience points."
"Ding! The player's character level has increased, and they have one Skill Point to allocate."
"Finally level seven. This one Skill Point plus that one? Deceptive Phantom Step? Deception? Backstab Throat Kiss? Forget it, the first two skills haven't been very effective after the system modification, and Backstab Throat Kiss is already at level three. Maxing it out is just around the corner. After the system modification, the level three Backstab Throat Kiss skill can no longer be used to kill beyond one's realm." Yang Chen analyzed, noting that the difficulty in making a decision stemmed from how increasingly challenging it was to level up; just now, leveling from six to seven cost ten million. Leveling from seven to eight would require one hundred million.
"Skill Points allocated to Backstab Throat Kiss."
"Ding! Allocation successful."
"Backstab Throat Kiss (Passive Skill): When the Demon God attacks an enemy from behind, it will deal additional damage. When behind the target, each normal attack adds 2 times one's Agility plus 200 in extra damage. Current skill level maxed out; skill effect activated, ignoring Protective Battle Qi not exceeding one's own realm. When attacking, ignore 25% of the opponent's armor."
"Although the system has nerfed Backstab Throat Kiss, the effects added at max level are still quite satisfying. Ignoring 25% of the opponent's armor during any attack will be my trump card," Yang Chen said happily.
