Another one...
One more time.
Let's start another round.
A single battle can end in as little as ten seconds or as long as two or three minutes.
During this time, Bai Lu attempted to kill Lu Cang directly with the shockwave from the meteorite.
However, Lu Cang pulled out his shield and directly withstood the damage from the shockwave.
This move is effective against non-shield-wielding classes, but it is extremely ineffective against classes with shields.
As for Flame Pillar, this type of continuous damage skill, if it is used before the start of the battle, it will not have any effect after the battle begins.
Once the battle begins, if Bai Lu wants to unleash the Flame Pillar, she must ensure that she is not instantly killed.
Unfortunately, all nine battles were without exception.
Bai Lu was always the one who was eliminated first.
In his final attack, Lu Cang used the flintlock pistol once again.
This time, no matter where Leng Qingying hid, she would be hit in the head by ricocheting bullets.
This round made Leng Qingying realize that in the first round, it wasn't that Lu Cang couldn't get headshots.
He was simply torturing himself.
As long as Lu Cang is willing, his flintlock pistol can accurately hit heads no matter which angle it is fired from.
It's like having a cheat code.
No, this is even more outrageous than cheating...
After losing nine games in a row, Leng Qingying felt a thousand kinds of resentment.
But she couldn't help but accept it.
Lu Cang has really given up. He is a free-to-play class and can only use one-star skills.
Each of them has a four-star skill, plus restrictions on their talents.
Furthermore, they chose a map that was advantageous to them, and Lu Cang even banned his flintlock weapon.
Even so.
Even with their S-level talent, the three players were completely crushed by Lu Cang.
If such a record were to be told, even someone like Leng Qingying, who doesn't care about what others think, would feel somewhat ashamed.
After completing nine arena matches.
Lu Cang then stopped fighting them.
"Did you have enough fun?"
"That was fun, time to practice."
Lu Cang set up a separate training ground.
Pull them all into the room.
The training ground supports various forms of customization.
Upon arriving at the training ground, Leng Qingying asked him the question that had been accumulating in her mind for a long time.
"How did you learn all these skills?" Leng Qingying discovered that Lu Cang knew far too many things.
Not just assassins, but also gunmen.
He knows all the skills of mages and warriors, as well as various branch skills, and he can master them proficiently.
Shouldn't Lu Cang mainly play assassins?
"I figured it out myself," Lu Cang replied simply.
Leng Qingying was speechless.
You can figure out all these techniques on your own?
"Nobody taught you?"
"I also learned from other players, but no one really taught me."
Leng Qingying heard this and was about to say something.
But then it suddenly occurred to me, that makes sense, who could teach him the skills?
How big of a big shot is that?
The technology of the Azure Sky is probably in a class of its own in the entire Fantasy Realm.
Although Leng Qingying couldn't see Lu Cang's level, it wasn't hard for her to know that Lu Cang's skill level was much, much higher than theirs.
"Fearless, let me teach you some basics."
"Just copy my movements."
Lu Cang took out the giant sword from the projection of the Thousand Machine Box.
They posed in front of the wooden stake.
What Lu Cang is teaching the brave and fearless now is a set of basic skills developed a hundred years after the opening of the Fantasy World.
It's for three-year-olds to practice.
In the later stages of the fantasy world, children mature early; some as young as three are already out fighting monsters.
And it's the kind that can't be resurrected.
This set of basic skills has a very down-to-earth name: "Basic Combat Skills".
It's simple, easy to learn, and easy to practice.
But if you master these basic skills, you wouldn't be an exaggeration to call yourself a top-tier expert in this era.
The fundamentals contain many things that are theories that have not yet been mentioned in the current fantasy world.
For example, the fastest way to swing a greatsword.
For example, how to incorporate normal attacks into skill execution.
How to determine a person's location by their breathing.
How to determine the trajectory of a bullet by observing airflow.
Identify someone by their voice.
How to fight when you have completely lost your five senses.
Lu Cang isn't teaching that much right now; he's only teaching the basic attack part with the heavy sword.
"Fearless, all you need to do now is practice your basic attack."
"Every skill must be followed by a basic attack, and you must keep an eye on your surroundings."
"You imitate my movements."
"The most important thing about the greatsword is to strike with the momentum of the blow."
"Don't raise your sword too high, just enough to deliver a single strike, and then immediately engage your entire body after that strike..."
"Okay, follow my movements and slash down." Lu Cang demonstrated and taught at the same time.
There is no defined attack speed in the illusionary realm.
Instead, the focus shifted to movement speed and the hit detection for normal attacks.
In theory, this is similar to attack speed; the faster the movement, the more normal attacks can be launched.
However, there are complex judgment criteria for delivering an effective normal attack.
Even a sword-like weapon has different judgments for thrusting, parrying, sweeping, and slashing.
This determination mechanism is still being studied by researchers in the fantasy world.
Currently, players rely entirely on intuition when using basic attacks.
As a result, at the same speed, some players can only land one effective normal attack per second.
Some players can unleash three or four attacks in a single second.
The greatsword is widely recognized as the most difficult weapon to master in terms of timing.
According to statistics, players take an average of 1.5 seconds to unleash a single effective attack with their greatsword.
After learning from Lu Cang two or three times, the brave and fearless one...
I gradually found my rhythm.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
After learning the entire set of movements, the fearless warrior chopped the wooden stake five times in a row, following the method taught by Lu Cang.
The speed was so fast that even Leng Qingying, who had been immersed in the illusionary world for two years, couldn't help but shrink her pupils.
A heavy sword combo of 5 sword strikes in 2 seconds without relying on skills?
The brave and fearless merely imitated Lu Cang's posture and movements, copying him exactly.
"Alright, that's it. Try to get a feel for it and practice a few more times."
Immediately, Lu Cang sent him aside to become a fraudster.
"Bai Lu, turret-type mages don't require much skill. What you need to learn is prediction and precise skill release."
"Predicting is simple, you just need to remember..."
...
The teaching on prediction was explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
But Leng Qingying found every word to be extremely insightful.
It was as if a door to a new world had been opened.
How come I didn't know this before? How come I never paid attention to this before?
After hearing Lu Cang's explanation, Leng Qingying thought back to the previous nine battles.
Her face flushed red.
Just by listening to Lu Cang's explanation, Leng Qingying felt that her skills had improved.
Listening from the sidelines, one's technical skills improve.
Subsequently, Lu Cang brought out some flying robots from the training ground.
They serve as targets in the air.
Used to train the white deer's accuracy in unleashing skills.
The white deer's skills have a large range, but that doesn't mean that precise skill release is unnecessary.
Precise and consistent skills are a must for every mage.
In Lu Cang's words.
If Bai Lu makes an accurate prediction and releases her skills consistently and precisely, she can kill him single-handedly.
Brilliant Flash is a flash attack.
It's incredibly fast; no one can possibly dodge it.
If the white deer releases its brilliant flash precisely before it moves, it will be vaporized instantly.
Um……
So Bai Lu went to train too.
As for Leng Qingying...
Lu Cang looked at the faint expectation in Leng Qingying's eyes...
"Let's have a real combat exercise."
"After you've mastered the basics, I'll come back later and tell you about the plan to steal the boss."
Leng Qingying heard Lu Cang's arrangement.
A chill ran through me.
Seriously? I'm going to get tortured again?
Leng Qingying has a strong personality and always wants to face challenges head-on.
However, after nine consecutive losses, he had been traumatized by Lu Cang. When the match was evenly matched, he could still muster the will to fight.
But these few losing streaks were so bad that they didn't even get a scratch on the clothes.
Seeing Leng Qingying's conflicted expression, Lu Cang asked, "Are you coming or not? If not, I'm going to play solo."
Leng Qingying gritted her teeth: "Come on."
After saying that, Lu Cang left Brave Warrior and White Deer in the training ground.
He and Leng Qingying left the training ground.
-------------------------------------
The world seems to have become calm and peaceful.
More than an hour has passed since Lu Cang last posted an announcement on the world stage.
After the Black Crystal Mine, no other world announcements have appeared.
The final world announcement concluded with Lu Cang being awarded the title of Hero of Maple City, and the Godslayer Guild becoming an Honorary Guild of Maple City.
"Why has the Sky-exclusive announcement gone silent?"
"Has the Boss Cangqiong logged off?"
The current world announcements have been jokingly referred to by players as "Sky-exclusive announcements."
Of the ten world announcements, at least eight were triggered by the Azure Sky.
"Damn... Is it really that bad? You're logging off even though you're only one dungeon away from finishing? I'd stay up all night to finish this dungeon!"
"Damn, this is so frustrating, my OCD is about to kick in. How come this pro just disappeared without getting a first kill on a dungeon?"
"Speaking of which, are they all stuck at level 20 and haven't leveled up any further?"
"You don't know anything. This is the level cap before job advancement. If I had their strength, I wouldn't just advance job casually."
Occupations are divided into common occupations and rare occupations.
Rare professions are often considered more powerful, and people with this mindset tend to get stuck at level 20, trying to find ways to switch to a rare profession.
Of course... not everyone can have such a smooth journey.
Some people refuse to change jobs unless they find a rare one, and end up stuck at level 20 for a whole year.
"The world boss will probably spawn soon, right?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen the Star Gate Guild make any moves. Are they not planning to compete for the boss?"
"Hehe, I think the Star Gate Guild is really unlucky. They just happened to start in the same city as Sky, so they probably gave up."
"Have you seen the video that circulated recently? I heard that the S-rank of the Hidden Origin Guild was killed by Cang Qiong from level 13 to level 1."
"Right now, everyone in the Star Gate Guild is afraid to mess with Azure Sky. I heard that their internal attitude is that they want to give the world boss to the God Kill Guild."
"What do you think the other guilds will do? Will they also let Godslayer win the world boss?"
"Forget it, the Star Gate Guild probably won't be able to win in a direct confrontation, so they're planning to give up."
"No matter how strong the Godslayer Guild is, it's impossible for them to snatch all the world's bosses. Other guilds will probably still fight the bosses normally."
"But seeing that Cang Qiong has disappeared and the other members of the Godslayer Guild haven't made a move either... could it be that they've also given up on taking the world boss?"
"Perhaps they're not interested in world bosses at all?"
