After returning to his residence, Du Yuqi was still very tired, but he was no longer sleepy. Yes, now that he had mastered the Ultimate Ghost Sword Technique, he had to consider his own development direction.
Comprehending the ultimate ghost sword technique is just a threshold, just like a person who has money but does not know how to spend it is useless. Zhang Wuji learned the Nine Yang Magic Skill, but he also needed the Great Shift of the Universe and Tai Chi to cooperate in order to become the best master in the world.
In fact, according to Du Yuqi's understanding of the Extreme Ghost Swordsmanship, he also needs to learn the corresponding sword styles to form a strong combat power, which are:
Ultimate Demon Swordsmanship: Iron-Cutting Style.
Ultimate Demon Swordsmanship: Steel Cutting Style.
Ultimate Demon Swordsmanship: Storm Style.
Among these three moves, Du Yuqi found that he could only comprehend one of them in the short term, so he now had to make a choice among the three.
Extreme Demon Swordsmanship: Cutting Steel Style is a passive skill that has a chance to weaken the opponent's defense.
Extreme Demon Swordsmanship: Steel Cutting Style is also a passive skill that can generate additional damage bonus to the sword skills/ultimate skills performed.
In terms of power, there is no doubt that the Extreme Ghost Sword Technique Storm Style is the strongest. It is extremely gorgeous, and when it is performed, twenty-four swords are summoned to form a sword formation, combining damage and control in one, and it is a sign of the awakening of the sword soul.
However, Du Yuqi was exposed to different levels at this time, and of course he knew one crucial thing, that is, neither Xilan nor Sodros had chosen to conduct in-depth research and practice on the Extreme Ghost Sword Technique Storm Style, and the two had never used this move in actual combat. Even among the four great sword masters, only the greatsword master Aganzu would occasionally use the awakening skill in actual combat.
This is certainly not without reason.
Du Yuqi once asked Feng Lin about this matter, and his answer was just three words: cost-effectiveness.
Although the Extreme Ghost Sword Technique Storm Style is powerful, the time and energy consumed in practicing it is also very staggering. More importantly, its performance is also very limited. It cannot be released at will. One must first adjust the sword energy in the body to a common frequency, and this state can only be maintained for ten minutes at most. If it lasts longer, it will hurt the body.
If one is planning to attack the enemy, then if one is well prepared in advance, then when the Ultimate Demon Sword Technique - Storm Style is released, one can certainly inflict heavy damage on the opponent.
The question is, who can guarantee that in the battles you participate in this life, you will always be the one ambushing others, rather than being ambushed by others, or having an encounter battle?
Once entering into a battle without any preparation, if you want to perform the Ultimate Ghost Sword Technique - Storm Style, you have to slowly adjust the sword energy in your body. This process takes at least three to five minutes, and at most ten minutes.
When masters fight each other, it is often a matter of lightning speed and every second counts. In many cases, you don't even have time to adjust and prepare to perform the ultimate ghost swordsmanship and stormy performance before the dust settles.
Another very important point is that after performing the Ultimate Ghost Sword Technique - Storm Style, the related sword energy generated in the body will become chaotic and dissipate, and it will have to wait until it is regenerated before it can be performed again. This process varies from person to person and is also related to the proficiency of the skill, but it will take at least an hour, and up to three to five days is possible.
Therefore, most of the people who practice the Extreme Ghost Sword Art Storm Style have the support of large organizations, and there are people blocking in front to buy time for them. If they are used to fighting alone or in small-scale battles, although the Extreme Ghost Sword Art Storm Style is powerful, it can only be described as useless.
Du Yuqi thought about it carefully and felt that it was similar to the difference between missiles and guns on Earth. There was no doubt that the cost and power of missiles were far greater than guns, but generally small organizations and forces would definitely choose to arm themselves with guns rather than missiles. Only organizations and countries that had reached a large scale would choose missiles.
After weighing the pros and cons again and again, Du Yuqi sighed with regret and reluctantly gave up the Extreme·Ghost Sword Art·Storm Style. As for the Extreme·Ghost Sword Art·Iron Cutting Style and the Extreme·Ghost Sword Art·Steel Cutting Style, there was no need to think about it. There was no doubt that the Extreme·Ghost Sword Art·Steel Cutting Style was the best.
Under normal circumstances, if one wants to learn the Steel Cutting Style, one must first comprehend the Ultimate Ghost Sword Technique - Iron Cutting Style, but the teaching of the Divine Sword Liang Yue bypasses this prerequisite.
The fundamental reason why Du Yuqi chose the Ultimate Ghost Sword Art - Cutting Steel Style is because above the Ultimate Ghost Sword Art, there is also the advanced Ultimate Divine Sword Art!!
Although it is not explicitly stated that in order to comprehend the Ultimate Divine Sword Art, one must first comprehend the Ultimate Ghost Sword Art·Steel Cutting Style, but Du Yuqi knows that those who have comprehended the Ultimate Ghost Sword Art·Steel Cutting Style have a greater chance of learning the Ultimate Divine Sword Art.
After making up his mind, Du Yuqi learned the Ultimate Ghost Sword Technique - Steel Cutting Style, which can enhance the power of all his sword skills. Du Yuqi tested it and found that the improvement was about 10%, which is already considerable. It is equivalent to having one-third more Shadowless Sword. And with his own practice and the improvement of his skills, the power will continue to increase.
Du Yuqi thought about it and knew that he would probably not have a quiet time, so he simply left the inn and walked along the road towards Hettonmar, then randomly found a village to ask for the night. The people there were simple and honest, and they didn't even charge Du Yuqi's money, but just invited him in to rest.
Du Yuqi just wanted a convenient open space, so he took out a camping tent from the dimensional ring. Du Yuqi had of course prepared these outdoor survival equipment very carefully. Then he forced some money into the farmer's pocket, asking him not to disturb his rest, and then he went straight into the tent and fell asleep. As expected, he slept very sweetly and smoothly.
…
Du Yuqi slept soundly and was then awakened by the sound of heavy raindrops hitting the tent. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked out, only to find that it was already dawn the next morning. He had actually slept from two or three in the afternoon of the previous day until about six in the morning of the next day.
After pulling open the curtain of the tent, a cold wind mixed with rain blew towards him, making Du Yuqi shiver. Only then did he realize that the rain had started again. Fortunately, he had set up the tent at a high place. Looking far away, he saw large puddles everywhere. A large amount of rain fell from the sky, stirring up bubbles that then burst.
Du Yuqi found a place to urinate, and seeing that the rain showed no sign of stopping, he packed up his tent and stood under the eaves of a farmer's house to avoid the rain. At this time, the owner of the house saw Du Yuqi and warmly invited him into the house for breakfast. Du Yuqi also wanted to eat some hot food at this time, so he readily agreed.
It was obvious that the host had put a lot of thought into preparing this breakfast. Homemade spicy meat sauce was paired with hot croissants, and there were also potato pancakes carefully fried by the hostess. The side dishes were also washed fresh cucumbers. As for the drink, it was a drink made by mixing ketchup with honey, which was called "jiao luo" locally. It looked like black ink, but Du Yuqi could barely accept the taste.
After finishing his breakfast, Du Yuqi was still concerned about the news from the Zero Organization. After all, he had friends in the Sweepers Alliance. Whether it was Meimei, Mingxi, or even Duize, they were all members of the Son of Ramis. And for some reason, the Son of Ramis Organization was vying for the top spot in the Sweepers Alliance, as if they had a deep hatred with the Zero Organization.
After arriving at the Alvin Line, Du Yuqi felt that the rain seemed to be heavier, as if the sky and the earth were a vast ocean, and the rain was going to sweep across the world. At this time, Du Yuqi relied on the connections he had made while treating the wounded, and he was also very good at it. It didn't take long for him to find the camp where the son of Ramis had withdrawn. After asking around, his face changed:
"What? Both Qi and Mingxi did not evacuate and disappeared? And they seem to be trapped in the extremely dangerous insect maze?"
The Wailing Cave was originally the home of the extremely ferocious Killing Gu insects. These insects drilled around underground, forming a network of caves. After the Zero Organization moved its headquarters here, they converted these caves into an extremely dangerous maze.
Once you get lost in it, you will face the murderous worms, ghosts, the vicious gangsters of Evil Buffalo, mutant skeletons, and the ubiquitous sneak attacks and pursuits of the transformed warriors of the Zero Organization! There is almost no time to rest. You don't have to wait for the enemy to kill you. You may collapse first.
Thinking of this, Du Yuqi took a deep breath, thought of the little things he had experienced with Meimei and Mingxi, and the friendship between them who would come to him without hesitation if anything happened to him, and he clenched his fists decisively and made up his mind.
