Chapter 167: Keep Moving Forward (Blast Update! First Update!)
Demon Hunting Academy, training room.
This is the personal training room in the Demon Hunting Academy.
There are a total of ten training grounds and twenty training rooms in the Demon Hunting Academy. The training grounds are like playgrounds and can be used by everyone. They also cover a very large area. The training rooms can only be used by the top 100 students and elite students. It is one of the privileges of the top and elite students in the academy.
Of course, the use of the training room is limited in time.
In the Demon Hunting Academy, there are a total of two hundred top and elite students in the two departments, but there are only twenty training rooms, so naturally it is impossible to accommodate everyone.
Therefore, every top student and elite student who wants to use the training room needs to apply first, and then use the training room in order according to the order of application.
In this case, if the elite students are able to schedule time to use the training room, they will be able to use the training ground for twenty-four hours.
If you are a top student, you can use it for forty-eight hours, which is twice as much as elite students.
From this we can see that the college also adheres to the principle of meritocracy. The higher the strength and the better the grades, the more privileges one will have.
It happened to be Su Ming's turn to use the training room that day, so he came here early and closed the door of the training room.
"Mi Ling!"
The moment Su Ming entered the training room and closed the door, Xiao Haier immediately appeared from behind Su Ming, cheered, and rushed into the room.
Probably because there is a swimming pool indoors.
Xiao Hai'er dived into the water and swam happily there.
"Hey, girl, this isn't for playing, it's for training."
Su Ming shouted.
The reason why there is a swimming pool in the training room is because this swimming pool is used for underwater combat training and obstacle training facilities. The water level and water flow speed can be adjusted freely, and even the water pressure can be adjusted for underwater training, and the effect is very good.
Unfortunately, Xiao Haier didn't seem to listen. He kept swimming around in the water. Every time he swam his tail, countless water splashed up, as if he was dancing in the water. It was actually quite pleasing to the eye.
"Forget it."
Su Ming originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Xiao Haier's happy look, he just let her go.
Anyway, I'm not here for water training, and the swimming pool is empty anyway. If Xiao Hai wants to play, let her play.
"Play is for fun, but don't run around randomly, got it?"
Su Ming gave an unpleasant instruction.
"Mi Ling!"
Little Hai'er poked her head out of the water, nodded, then dived back into the water, turned into a mermaid, and started swimming happily.
"What an unqualified phantom demon."
Su Ming curled his lips.
Other phantom demons are like wild beasts, searching for food everywhere in order to suck blood, and they are not afraid to destroy lives and harm others for this purpose. But this girl is different. She is not like a phantom demon that values blood more than anything else. Instead, she is like an extremely pleasing pet. It makes people wonder whether they should complain about her or not.
Su Ming had wondered before why Xiao Haier didn't look as cruel and bloodthirsty as the phantom demon at all.
Xu Qianqian did give an explanation for this.
"The evolution of a phantom demon from a lower level to a higher level is itself a process of life transformation. In this process, the changes that occur to each phantom demon are different."
"So, each high-level phantom demon is a unique individual. Some will carry some characteristics from before their evolution, while others will completely reverse these characteristics and become completely opposite."
"Perhaps, Xiao Hai'er's mother is the latter."
According to the results of the experts' analysis of Xiao Hai'er's scales, which Xu Qianqian showed to others, Xiao Hai'er's mother should be a high-level phantom demon that evolved from the Corrupted Water Demon.
As an aquatic creature, the water demon is not picky about cold or life. It can survive in any kind of water, even in sewage or sewers.
After Xiao Haier's mother successfully evolved from the stage of the Corrupted Water Demon, perhaps this characteristic of being indifferent to both food and drink was completely reversed, becoming pure, spotless and flawless.
In view of this, although Xiao Hai'er is still an aquatic creature, he can swim in the atmosphere by manipulating the moisture in the air. He also likes clean water sources. Even the bloodthirstiness and cruelty of the phantom demon itself have disappeared.
“Not all humans like to eat meat.”
"Even though everyone knows that meat is more filling and nutritious, there are still many people who don't like to eat meat and prefer to be vegetarian."
"Xiao Hai'er might be the type of person who loves to eat vegetarian food among the phantom demons."
Xu Qianqian said this.
This is just a guess, there is no guarantee, let alone confirmation. At best, it is just a conclusion drawn from random thinking.
At least, Su Ming had never heard of any "vegetarian-loving" phantom demons in the Spirit Demon Prison. All the phantom demons valued blood as their life, without exception.
Now, if someone suddenly told him that he had encountered a "vegetarian-loving" phantom demon, Su Ming would naturally just listen to it.
But no matter what, Xiao Hai'er's pure and flawless character is still quite lovable.
For this reason, Su Ming did not delve into it further. Instead, he thought it would be fine for Xiao Haier to remain like this.
At most, he just complained in front of Miss Xu.
"These days, even phantom demons are vegetarians, so it's normal for some humans to like to suck blood, right?"
The suggestive words made Miss Xu grab Su Ming's hand on the spot and bite it mercilessly.
"Sure enough, the attributes of these two people have been swapped."
Su Ming complained that he couldn't.
After releasing Xiao Haier into the swimming pool, Su Ming came to the open space nearby.
He closed his eyes, flipped his hand, and grasped a knife that appeared out of thin air.
It’s the Fire Fang.
"Mi Ling!"
The mermaid girl in the water seemed to sense an extraordinary spirituality. She cried softly and hid in the water, only sticking out a small head from the side and secretly looking at Su Ming.
Su Ming still had his eyes closed, replaying in his mind a book on combat techniques that he had read from the library of the Demon Hunting Academy.
The title of the book is "The Demonic Knife".
As the name suggests, this is a combat book that records sword techniques. The book records a sword technique called the Demonic Sword.
"The book records that the magic sword technique focuses on killing, is extremely aggressive, and has extremely high explosive power. It is very dependent on the user's physical fitness."
Su Ming thought silently.
"If one's physical fitness is not good, no matter how gifted or talented one is, one will not be able to master this magic sword technique."
This magic sword technique has extremely high requirements for hard conditions, so only very few people can master it.
The students in the Demon Hunting Academy are generally one-star hunters or above, so their physical fitness is naturally unable to meet the requirements for practicing the magic sword.
"Maybe even Gao Xu doesn't know this magic sword technique?"
Su Ming made a judgment secretly.
The physical fitness requirements of the magic sword have probably reached a level that lower-level professionals cannot achieve at all, and only higher-level professionals can meet them.
But the top professionals all came up from the bottom, either they didn't use a sword, or they had already practiced another sword technique when they were weaker. By the time they became top professionals, their sword techniques had already reached an extremely high level, so how could they abandon them and start over? Therefore, this magic sword technique became an uncommon sword technique that the weak could not practice and the strong could not choose.
However, Su Ming was attracted by this rare sword technique.
"With my physical fitness, which is transformed from the blood of nightmare species and is far from complete, I should be able to barely meet the requirements for practicing the magic sword."
Su Ming was a three-star hunter as soon as he became one. Although he had learned combat skills, he had not systematically learned swordsmanship.
Now, Su Ming needs to learn a sword technique, and it just happens that the requirements for practicing this magic sword technique are met, so how can he miss it?
"There are many books about swordplay in the library, and many of them highly praise this magic swordplay technique. Even many masters of swordplay have recorded it in the books. In terms of offensiveness and explosive power, the magic swordplay is the best of all swordplay techniques."
Unfortunately, where there is gain there is loss.
The magic sword certainly has first-class offensiveness and explosive power, but it is precisely because of its strong offensiveness and explosive power that it does not have enough room for turning around.
In other words, this magic sword technique lacks defensive skills. It can be said that it has abandoned defense and used all its strength on attack and burst.
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
This is undoubtedly very dangerous.
In a fierce battle where every second counts, if you completely abandon your defense and are hit by the enemy, you will be seriously injured.
"Fortunately, I'm not an ordinary hunter, but a dual-professional."
Having awakened the spiritual power of seeing patterns, Su Ming has been endowed with extremely high observation and insight, allowing him to detect his opponent's dangerous moves to the greatest extent, and to be able to do so with ease whether advancing, retreating or dodging.
If it weren't for such outstanding spirituality, no matter how powerful Su Ming's [Silver Arm] was, in the fierce battle with Gao Xu, he would not be able to keep up with the opponent's movements, let alone respond to the opponent's actions.
It can be said that in the battle with Gao Xu, the greatest contribution was not the amazing power of the [Silver Arm], but the extraordinary spirituality that enabled Su Ming, with the qualities of a three-star hunter, to keep up with Gao Xu, a four-star hunter, in battle.
With this spiritual existence, even if he gives up defense, Su Ming can avoid being hit by the enemy to the greatest extent.
Besides, "My right hand is incredibly powerful. If I use the sword to perform the magic sword technique that is famous for its outstanding power, it will definitely be the enemy's nightmare."
Not to mention, the knife Su Ming holds is not an ordinary weapon, but a powerful alchemical weapon.
Thinking of this, Su Ming no longer hesitated and decided to practice the magic sword.
"Gao Xu can be called the 'King of Kirin Sword', so is it not too much for me to be called the 'Demon Sword'?"
With a chuckle, Su Ming went over the various techniques of the magic sword in his mind, and then began to practice.
"laugh!"
This is the sound of the fire fangs cutting through the air.
Su Ming started swinging his sword in the training room, and while swinging the sword, he used his extraordinary spiritual power to sense things.
"The knife was off-center and didn't fall along the path I imagined."
"No, I can't use my strength like this. Some of my muscles are not being used, and my strength is not 100% of what it should be."
"Fix it and start over."
"It's still wrong. You have to exert force from top to bottom, not from the shoulders, but from the waist."
"Yes, that's it."
Su Ming kept waving his knife, muttering to himself as he swung, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
If there is someone who is good at swordsmanship here, he will be shocked to find that Su Ming's progress is simply terrifying.
As time passed, Su Ming's sword swung more and more powerfully, and the sound of the fire fangs cutting through the air became louder and louder, almost forming a sonic boom.
Su Ming's proficiency in wielding the sword was also increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his speed of improvement was terrifying.
This is all thanks to Su Ming's extraordinary spirituality.
With spiritual perception, Su Ming can quickly discover problems and make corrections immediately.
The spiritual assistance actually improved Su Ming's efficiency in practicing swordsmanship so much.
This is one of the advantages of dual-profession players. They can complement each other in unexpected places and assist each other, making Su Ming's strength more than just 1+1.
Su Ming gradually became addicted to the rapid improvement of his swordsmanship and couldn't extricate himself.
Until, Su Ming suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arms and body.
"hiss"
Su Ming stopped swinging the knife and couldn't help but take a breath.
He was a little confused at first, but then he understood.
"Isn't my physical fitness strong enough to use the magic sword continuously?"
Feeling the waves of pain coming from all over his body, Su Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The magic sword has extremely high requirements for physical fitness. Su Ming only barely meets the requirements for use. How can he practice it recklessly?
However, Su Ming had no intention of stopping.
"Gurgle!"
With a swallowing sound, Su Ming took out a bottle of alchemical potion and poured it into his mouth.
The medicinal power of the alchemical potion traveled throughout Su Ming's body, eliminating the fatigue and soreness in every part of his body.
That's right, Su Ming planned to use the power of the alchemical potion to refine the magic sword technique against the clock.
The Longyao City is now in a turbulent time. Darkness is stirring in the dark, and the signs of chaos are so obvious that they cannot be more obvious, which makes Su Ming feel a sense of crisis.
In order to be able to protect myself in the face of any chaos, I must become stronger quickly.
"From today on, whenever it is my turn to use the training room, I will use this time to practice the magic sword technique."
"When I can't apply for a place in the training room, I will study the two advanced spiritual arts [Miaoye Fanjing] and [Futian Luohua] and try to learn them as soon as possible."
"In your spare time, you can also study the power of the [Silver Arm] or the battle plan for dual professions."
In addition, the red trachelospermum and other extraordinary items that can enhance spiritual power taken out of the package must also be taken continuously.
In this way, the hunter and warlock aspects will make progress together, and Su Ming will be able to become stronger at the fastest speed.
"I hope my demon transformation can awaken soon."
By then, the strength of both professions will reach the level of advanced professionals, and Su Ming will usher in another transformation.
Imagining such a future, Su Ming practiced swordplay even harder.
"Midoline."
Xiao Haier watched all this, tilting his head, not understanding what was going on.
