Chapter 22: Advance by leaps and bounds

"Ding ding dang dang!"

Ryan, who tried his best, could only hold on for about half a minute against Claire, who was deliberately controlling him, and was soon defeated!

Ryan, who failed in the competition, did not show any frustration on his face, but a hint of joy.

Because a wonderful system prompt came:

[Your basic swordsmanship skills have been improved, experience points +29]

[You have experienced a battle, militia professional experience points +17]

The maid Shadiya, who was watching the battle, looked at Ryan with admiration, who did not show any frustration, and thought to herself:

"This may be another reason why Ryan can be valued by Miss Claire. He is not discouraged in the face of failure!"

"There are so many young talents in Mayest County who are stronger than Ryan, like the stars in the sky, but few have the mentality of Ryan."

"Most of them are either ashamed or shameless after losing in the competition with Miss Claire."

Shadiya thought so, and there was nothing wrong with it. It was reasonable.

However, she didn't know that it was because the Ryan in front of her had a cheat. As long as he competed, he could improve his strength, so he would fight again and again.

Claire looked at Ryan who was still eager to try, and her eyes were full of appreciation. She said in a clear voice:

"Ryan, the strength and speed I showed were almost the same as yours. In fact, you can hold on longer."

"But you didn't. Do you know why?"

"My swordsmanship is too weak?" Ryan touched his head and said.

"Not entirely. Did you notice that every time you attack, you show your attack intention too obviously." Claire demonstrated while walking with her long elastic legs.

"When attacking, look straight ahead and use the corner of your eye to lock the specific attack position. At any time, don't easily reveal your attack intention."

Originally, Ryan was still listening with a relaxed attitude, but when Claire said this, his expression suddenly became serious.

Because he realized that Claire was teaching him a very critical fighting skill at this moment.

If Claire hadn't pointed this out to him, he would have realized it after a long time.

"Unexpectedly, is that what you mean?"

"A good summary!" Claire praised, "That's what it means."

"Once you reveal your attack intention too early, experienced enemies will immediately dodge or block your attack route."

"Some enemies will even deliberately lure you to attack their deliberately exposed weaknesses, and then quickly counterattack and defeat you."

Ryan thought about it for a moment and understood what Claire meant.

"Miss Claire, can you do it again?"

Claire nodded, indicating that Ryan could attack.

This time when Ryan attacked, he looked straight at Claire, and his whole body was like catkins floating in the wind. He took a step forward quickly and stabbed with a sword.

Claire lightly blocked and took a step to the right to avoid Ryan's attack.

This time, Ryan's eyes remained fixed on Claire, but he did not deliberately focus on a certain part of her body.

This made Claire's prediction a little slower than before, and the duration of the two's fight was obviously longer than the previous one.

Under Claire's deliberate feeding,

Ryan and Claire fought back and forth, and the sound of "ding ding dang dang" of weapons clashing could be heard on the field.

A minute later, Ryan was exhausted and lay on the ground with sweat all over his head.

Although he was very tired, this kind of hearty battle made Ryan feel extremely happy!

There was even a feeling of not having enough.

The system prompt came again:

[Your skill basic swordsmanship has been improved, experience points +37]

[You have experienced a battle, militia professional experience points +21]

There are also a lot of experience points!

"Ryan, I find that you are particularly interested in swordsmanship, which is good, but not good."

Claire found that after every swordsmanship exchange, Ryan could rekindle that unparalleled enthusiasm.

It seems that this young man in front of him is not afraid of losing at all.

"Because breathing is the foundation, you need to spend more time on it."

"Remember to master all seven movements of the Giant Bear Breathing Method as soon as possible. The sooner you master it, the better it will be for your body." Claire advised.

"Okay, Miss Claire!"

Although Ryan answered like this, he sighed in his heart, Miss, you don't understand, only by practicing more can I improve quickly!

Miss Claire, who has a hot body and strong strength, is training and guiding him, which makes Ryan feel for the first time that time is passing so quickly.

He now understands the feeling of those wealthy people in the gym in his previous life, who spent a lot of money to invite beautiful personal trainers to train with him.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that he is still not as good as him.

Because now he has not spent a penny, the daughter of the earl family is serving as his sparring partner.

This also makes Ryan look forward to the next practice time as soon as the practice of the day is over.

This has been the case for four consecutive days.

Ryan's strength has also improved by leaps and bounds!

[Giant Bear Breathing Method lv2 (12/300)]

Giant Bear Breathing Method, with the assistance of two precious items, violent bear meat and black tung oil, Ryan has been practicing the second posture in just four days.

The second posture is similar to the Russian push-up, and the difficulty is much higher than the first posture.

Ryan can only hold on for five minutes at present, which is far from the half-hour requirement.

But the effect is also very significant. Four days of breathing method training has increased Ryan's strength.

This makes Ryan's current strength reach 7 points, which exceeds the level of ordinary adults.

Although Ryan's physical attribute data has not changed much, his combat awareness has been greatly improved under Claire's guidance.

It can be said that Humbert, the swordsman, taught Ryan how to use a sword, but Claire taught Ryan how to really fight.

Name: Ryan Kalan

Occupation: Blacksmith Apprentice lv3 (265/500)/Militia lv3 (78/500)

Constitution: 6

Strength: 7

Agility: 7

Spirit: 8

Remaining attribute points: 1

Remaining skill points: 1

[Basic Swordsmanship lv4 (578/1000)]

Basic swordsmanship has not been upgraded yet, and the required experience points are slightly higher.

Although the swordsmanship has not been upgraded, Ryan can feel that his basic swordsmanship has been slowly improving.

The militia occupation level has been upgraded to lv3, which has contributed a few attribute points and a few skill points to Ryan.

However, Ryan did not rush to add points this time.

The postures of the following movements of the Giant Bear Breathing Method are getting more and more difficult.

In other words, although the second form is difficult, it is definitely much easier than the third form.

Therefore, he plans to wait until he enters the Breathing Method lv3, and then directly add points to upgrade to lv4, so as to maximize this skill point.

Time flies, and it's Saturday.

Ryan can go home again.

Just as Ryan finished the day's training under Claire's instruction, he followed the beautiful maid happily and left the castle, and saw a tall boy dressed in noble clothes coming towards him.

"Master Dennis."

The beautiful maid seemed to tremble when she saw him, and immediately saluted with a little fear.

Although Ryan didn't know him, he immediately bowed.

The boy named Dennis glanced at the two and walked away expressionlessly.

However, after he walked for a while, he suddenly stopped and looked at Ryan who was going away, as if he thought of something.

"This... seems to be the lowly person that Claire admires a little?"

Dennis's eyes flickered, and I don't know what he was thinking.

Ryan, who left the Habsburg Manor, was in a good mood and walked on the main road of the town of Shining Gold in the evening breeze.

At this time, it was late.

I saw three night watchmen in a team, holding torches and wearing tight leather armor, who had already started to add lamp oil to the street lamps along the street.

Ryan also got to know the night watchmen in this world.

In terms of job responsibilities, they are mainly responsible for the town's night security, firefighting, and dealing with emergencies such as wild beasts in the dark or attacks by other unknown creatures. During

the relatively safe daytime, the town's security work is handed over to the security guards.

But whether it is a night watchman or a security guard, they are all official forces of the empire, under the jurisdiction of the town's sheriff, and are two concepts from the unofficial militia.

This can be seen from the other party's fine leather armor, the ox horn bow on his back, and the half-hand sword on his waist.

"It seems that it would be great to be a night watchman."

"Will it trigger a new career panel for me?" Ryan couldn't help but look at the small team of night watchmen with a little envy, thinking to himself.
