Chapter 176 Sword Technique Upgrade, Is This a Female Ghost?
After receiving the reward, the player named Shuohua belatedly looked in the direction where Shen Jue was.
It seemed like something had been discovered, yet it also seemed like nothing had been discovered at all.
Shuohua was puzzled for a moment, then turned and left, gradually disappearing from Shen Jue's sight.
Shen Jue remained vigilant. What if this person was just making a feint and then killed her without any explanation when he returned? Wouldn't she have died a very unjust death?
To avoid this happening, Shen Jue used her invisibility to quietly move to a new location. She had only been 100 meters away when the spot where she had been was collapsed.
Shuohua, who had originally left, suddenly reappeared and then indiscriminately destroyed the buildings around him.
The more I admired Shuo Hua's swordsmanship while watching the fight, the more troublesome it became to face it now.
However, this is not without its limitations. With the talent of the Illusionary Eye, Shen Jue can dodge these attacks without making a sound.
After all the attacks from all directions missed their target.
Shuohua was relieved and prepared to leave.
It seems he was being overly suspicious before.
After he left, he didn't leave. Instead, he kept looking around to see if anyone else would come out.
In the last few seconds, no one appeared. Relying on his intuition, he slashed several times in the direction he had previously suspected, and then, still not feeling safe, attacked various other locations and directions.
Even with this indiscriminate attack, nothing happened.
He was overly suspicious before it was proven.
Since there's nothing else to do, let's leave here as soon as possible.
While the red mist covers this area, he needs to kill as many lord bosses as possible.
Shen Jue left this place of trouble without looking back.
She is not yet a match for Shuo Hua, and there is no need for her to create another powerful opponent for herself.
It's best to stay away from her if possible, quietly develop her strength, and gradually become stronger. That's her survival strategy.
She also wanted to find a lord-level boss to practice against.
How can I find a lord-level boss?
This was not a problem for Shen Jue at all. Perhaps because she had witnessed the way the lord boss made his entrance, her hints had changed again.
The location of the lord boss was right in front of her.
Along with the location of the lord/boss, there are similar summary phrases.
(There's a boss 200 meters to your left. It's quite strong, but you can barely defeat it at your current level.)
(Five miles to the east, there is an elite lord boss, extremely powerful, whom you cannot defeat at your current level.)
...
Tips are everywhere; information is coming from all directions.
Shen Jue chose the boss position that he could barely defeat.
Because out of all these lord-level bosses, this is the only one she can defeat.
There is no choice at all; those who are weak have no right to choose.
She now knew that the boss Shuo Hua had killed was an elite-level lord boss.
To choose such a difficult lord boss for the first kill, that's really ruthless.
Shen Jue was very clear about the abilities he possessed.
Aside from her skill cards, her current strength is mediocre, neither the best nor the worst. The end result is that she knows too many things, but is not proficient in any one skill.
Her only thought right now is to work hard to improve one of her skills.
In the battlefield of slaughter, the fastest way to improve is undoubtedly in combat rhythm and swordsmanship.
Following the prompts, Shen Jue arrived at the lord boss.
This time, she faced an incredibly handsome wolf as the boss. This wolf looked incredibly spirited, completely unlike the weak, easily manageable wolf the hints suggested.
As an aside, the hint is based on her current strength and does not include card abilities.
If we use her cards, no boss here can beat her.
Simply send in Lava Explosion cards one by one, and you'll get your own individual treasure chest.
However, the rewards obtained in this way are rather uninteresting, and they do not improve her actual strength.
Relying on cards is always an external thing, and the card inventory will eventually run out.
At that time, the competition will not be about how fast you can make cards, but about how fast you can react!
When facing this lord boss, use it to practice her nameless sword technique.
The bosses she had previously slain outside the red mist had gradually made her proficient in the fourth move of her nameless sword technique, and she was only one step away from officially mastering the skill of extending her internal energy.
Once she masters this technique, her fourth sword technique will be considered complete.
Hopefully, this lord boss will put in some effort and apply more pressure to help her break through.
Shen Jue brandished his twin swords and charged at the lord wolf.
He moved swiftly and struck down with a single blow.
The blades kicked up snowflakes; later, Shen Jue upgraded both of these twin blades.
The Mithril Blade's ice and snow effects are continuously doubled, while the Phantom Night Blade enters a stealth state when attacking, making it impossible for the target to defend against.
Fortunately, her opponent was a lord-level boss.
As a lord boss, being able to survive in the Crimson Mist World naturally means he has some skills.
Faced with Shen Jue's attack, he calmly dodged, his movements agile and exceptionally nimble.
It circled around Shen Jue several times, seemingly trying to find a way to kill him.
The two began circling around the area. Initially, their attacks were tentative and had no real effect.
Once you figure out the other party's bottom line, you will immediately deliver a fatal blow.
Shen Jue's swordsmanship, which he practiced, carried a subtle air of power.
Therefore, Lord Wolf did not dare to be careless. What puzzled him was that this player had been using the same move all along.
No other moves were used, so the lord wolf couldn't figure out exactly how strong this player was.
Those who can become lords are all intelligent.
Some lord bosses are even smarter than humans.
They naturally have their own set of attack methods when facing players like Shen Jue.
The lord wolf stopped probing and began to escalate his attacks.
A series of wind blades appeared around him, thrusting towards Shen Jue.
Shen Jue thought to himself, "It's finally here!"
To become a lord boss, one cannot fight with a primitive body; they all possess unique abilities.
Like the wolf in front of us, it has the power to control the wind.
Seeing that the wind blades were ineffective, it immediately changed its form and altered the surrounding environment, instantly creating a strong wind and forming a wind wall.
This wind wall creates a very favorable attack environment for the lord wolf.
The lord wolf also roams within the wind wall, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
If it weren't for Shen Jue's talent of the Illusory Eye, it would be really difficult to tell which direction the Lord Wolf would appear from.
Even relying solely on intuition, it's impossible to dodge the Lord Wolf's attacks every time.
The talent "Illusory Eye" has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Shen Jue can deal with unexpected situations at any time and find the fastest way to solve them.
The downside is that she relies too much on this ability, and sometimes she loses her own judgment.
Overall, the advantages of the Illusory Eye talent outweigh the disadvantages.
She'll need to think carefully before using this ability in the future. When to use it, and when not to?
Make sure you make a clear judgment before taking any action. Only in this way can you grow quickly.
The wind howled in my ears and stung my face.
Their faces were exposed, without any protective gear.
I was careless; I should have put a mask on my face before coming, but it's not too late now.
While remaining vigilant, Shen Jue deliberately created an opening, pretending to put on a mask to attract the lord wolf's attack.
He constantly uses his mental power to perceive everything around him.
If the lord wolf dares to attack, what awaits him is the fourth move, which is a combination of the first three moves of the Nameless Blade Technique.
After this battle with the Lord Wolf.
Shen Jue finally grasped the threshold of extending internal energy.
The duration of control over internal energy is also related to the technique of exerting force.
Thanks to her practice of 100% power exertion techniques, coupled with her continuous practice of the fourth move, she was able to break through the fourth move under the pressure of the Lord Wolf.
Furthermore, the fourth sword technique is fluid and effortless to execute.
They remained completely calm in the face of the lord wolf's attack.
This time, the fourth sword technique, imbued with extended internal energy, was slashed towards the lord wolf.
Lord Wolf initially thought that this player's moves were the same as before.
So he precisely calculated his landing point, intending to perfectly avoid the attack.
As a result, a layer of hair was shaved off him.
What's going on? This player's attack moves have changed?
After observing for a while, the lord wolf no longer dared to approach Shen Jue rashly.
He circled around Shen Jue, carefully examining Shen Jue's attack moves.
No, the move is still the same move, only the power has changed.
She's become even more powerful; her swordsmanship has an explosive potential.
He was just shaved off by the extended blade of internal energy, leaving half of his body bald.
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated; his appearance is of utmost importance.
This player actually dared to stab him in the back. When he catches this player, he'll skin him alive and pull out his tendons.
Even in his rage, Lord Wolf did not let his anger cloud his judgment, but instead slowly plotted his next move.
The combination of various methods really did leave Shen Jue with quite a few marks.
However, they were all minor injuries.
But as time went on, Shen Jue noticed something was wrong; why were her movements a little sluggish?
I thought about the lord wolf's bluish-black claws.
Shen Jue suddenly realized.
That wolf's claws are damn poisonous!
Shen Jue quickly switched to her plant armor, casting a healing buff on herself to slowly remove the poison.
Taking detoxifying pills now is ineffective.
She can only use healing buffs to slowly alleviate the poisoning. Once she has dealt with the lord wolf, she can then find a way to remove the poison from her body.
Now that his swordsmanship was mastered, there was no need to keep this lord wolf alive, and Shen Jue planned to finish the battle quickly.
He deliberately used a ruse, creating an opening and slowing his movements down, making the lord wolf believe that the poison from his scratch on the player had taken effect.
Overjoyed, the Lord Wolf stopped controlling the surrounding wind walls and launched a full-scale attack on Shen Jue, even abandoning its own defenses and directly attacking Shen Jue.
In his eyes now, Shen Jue's speed was as slow as a tortoise, and he had no offensive power whatsoever. He could easily defeat him.
Seeing that the lord wolf had revealed a huge opening and was pouncing on him.
Shen Jue thought to himself, "Success!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the Lord Wolf was unable to gain leverage in mid-air to change position, Shen Jue immediately changed his move and slashed at the Lord Wolf with great speed.
His body was severed from the middle of his abdomen, cleanly and efficiently!
Even in death, the lord wolf kept his eyes wide open, filled with murderous intent.
He didn't even understand how he died!
After killing the lord wolf, Shen Jue collected a personal treasure chest.
This lord wolf is clearly the weakest among all the lord bosses.
The personal treasure chest given is not like the glowing black and gold treasure chest of the elite-level lord boss. This treasure chest has a little bit of red on its exterior and emits a faint red glow.
Shen Jue tried to open it, but found that he could not open the individual treasure chest here. He had to leave the killing battlefield to open the individual treasure chest.
In addition to the individual treasure chests, the Boss Wolf also drops wolf fur materials. These are top-quality materials that can be used to craft equipment.
Killing a lord wolf in exchange for breaking through to the fourth form of the Nameless Blade Technique is still worthwhile.
Now it's time to practice the steps of the fifth sword technique. Waiting for the next opportunity for a breakthrough.
Just like how she learned the fourth technique, once she learned it, she became quite proficient.
The fifth move is an advanced sword technique of the fourth move, and its power has increased significantly compared to the fourth move.
Shen Jue began practicing the fifth form of the sword technique, but it was only the surface without the actual form.
But that's okay, you'll figure it out eventually.
As long as she practices diligently, she'll learn it sooner or later.
After learning the fourth move, her overall strength improved significantly.
Now she has a few more lord bosses to choose from.
After practicing for a while, Shen Jue turned and headed towards the lords he could reach.
She intends to use these lord bosses to practice her fifth sword technique.
If possible, Shen Jue hopes that she can learn the ninth move of her swordsmanship on the battlefield.
While Shen Jue was battling various lord bosses in the red mist to improve his strength, the outside world underwent significant changes.
The ice that had frozen the player's raft was gradually melting, which meant that the Ice Age was coming to an end, which should have been a good thing.
But now that the ice has melted, another race is threatening the players.
That's the Great White Shark. Great White Sharks always appear in groups, attacking players' rafts and even starting to destroy them in large numbers.
Players also discovered that no attack method was effective against the Great White Shark.
This has become an unsolvable vicious cycle, with players having no solution other than expanding their raft.
Fortunately, the players who have survived to this point have no shortage of wood. They can handle this sudden appearance of a group of deep-sea great white sharks.
The appearance of the great white shark briefly brought players together to work together to find a solution to this problem.
Later, players proved that as long as players entered the killing field, the great white shark would not attack their rafts.
