Chapter 142 Breaking the Ice



"You shouldn't come to this kind of place." When Pan heard Doge and others, they were all shocked.

Even when Pan went to meet the commander-in-chief, he never used the word "you", but only addressed him by the title of commander.

He actually used the honorific "you" to address this young man, which shows how important this person is in Pan's mind.

Doug was getting a little restless now, thinking to himself, "What the hell is going on? Who is this guy?"

Li Xiu smiled and said, "I am a trial participant now. Where else can I go if not to a place like this?"

"Are you a trial-taker?" Pan looked at Li Xiu with a strange expression.

Although the world's number one magic master is God, for the Southern Cross Federation soldiers stationed on the border during that time, the strongest magic master was not God, but the magic master who did not even have a code name and only a hand gesture.

Such a magic costume master actually told him that he was a trial-taker, which made Pan a little unacceptable.

"If anything happens to you, it will be a loss for all of humanity," Pan Zhengrong said.

After hearing Pan's comments, Doc felt that he was finished.

Sha Lai was also confused. The commander of the Gu Yue Legion actually said such words to Li Xiu. This was even stranger than a sow climbing a tree.

"You are questioning my professional ability." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Every profession has its specialties. Your field is not here. I hope you can consider it carefully." Pan felt that a magic costume master like Li Xiu should not risk his life in such a place.

Li Xiu smiled and said nothing more. The countdown for the trial was almost over.

After a while, several people were teleported into the arena, and there was a dummy standing on the ground in front of each of them.

It is called a dummy, but it would be more accurate to say it is a tumbler.

The only difference is that the upper body of this tumbler is no different from that of a human, while the calves and the part below are replaced by a hemisphere.

This is a B-level trial. The rules of the trial are very simple. You can punch any part of the dummy. There is a digital display on the lower hemisphere, which will show the destructive force the dummy has endured. If the value is over ten, it is considered a pass.

Everyone only has one chance to punch, and if the value is lower than ten, they will be eliminated.

There was a dummy in front of each person. After Shalai came in, he chose a position to stand and punched the dummy directly in the chest.

Some people are used to hitting the face first, but the face is not a particularly good choice for this kind of test.

Because this dummy is a tumbler, the force-bearing area of ​​its face is small and not flat. In addition, it falls backwards after being subjected to force, which will relieve some of the force, so the destructive force value will be relatively low.

If it is too low, it will not be suitable for exerting force, so the chest position is the best choice.

Bang!

Shalai punched the dummy in the chest, knocking it backwards with the back of its head almost touching the ground.

The numbers on the hemisphere changed rapidly and finally stopped at 17.8.

Doge curled his lips, and although he didn't say anything, he was obviously disdainful.

He also punched the dummy on the chest, knocking the back of its head to the ground. The number on the hemisphere exceeded 20 and finally stopped at 21.7.

The values ​​of the other soldiers of the Gu Yue Legion are also over 20, and each of them is stronger than Shalai.

Pan just threw a random punch. Because he was very tall, his punch hit the dummy's face, but the value was still over thirty.

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Xiu. Doge and the others wanted to know how strong the person was who was respected so much by the legion commander.

Sha Lai wanted to know how much Li Xiu had grown during this time of separation.

Li Xiu looked at the dummy and the numerical display screen with great interest. He had no idea what the destructive power value was calculated on.

This calculation method is obviously somewhat different from the calculation of the original embryo quality, so Li Xiu doesn't know how much destructive power he can inflict.

"Let's try it first." Li Xiu got into position, pulled his arms back to the limit, and without using any skills, he lightly punched the dummy's chest.

Bang!

The back of the dummy's head hit the ground hard, then bounced back, shaking continuously.

The numbers on the display changed rapidly and finally stopped at twenty-four.

"What? I thought he was so powerful, but it turns out he's just so-so." Doge and the others were a little disappointed. They didn't see how strong Li Xiu was.

Seeing that Li Xiu was already able to inflict more than 20 destructive powers, Sha Lai felt somewhat depressed.

Li Xiu’s strength was not as good as his before, but now he is much stronger than him.

"The first round of trials is over, and the rewards are distributed. The second round of trials will begin after the countdown ends. Trialists who do not participate in the second round of trials can remove their trial bracelets and leave the trial field."

The trial bracelet gave off a pricking pain, but the strengthening strength was too low, and Li Xiu did not feel any significant improvement in his physical condition.

The second round of trials requires a destructive power of twenty to pass. Instead of quitting, Shalai chose to continue.

After the second round started, Shalai directly used the skill of Boiling Blood. This punch created a damage value of 29.4, which made Doge and others look at him with admiration.

Although Doge and his team are real trialists, they don't have S-level skills. Even among real trialists, not many have advanced skills. Many S-level trials cannot be passed just by being strong. Shalai can deal such damage with his skills. If Doge and his team don't use the symbiotic contract, they won't be much stronger than Shalai, and may even be worse than Shalai.

Li Xiu frowned slightly. Theoretically, S-level Blood Boiling can double the strength. Shalai's last destruction value was close to eighteen, and this time it should be at least thirty-five.

But this time he didn't even reach thirty, which was obviously because Shalai's way of exerting force was wrong.

This situation not only happened to Shalai, but also to Doge and others.

Although they did not have S-level skills, they used some skills in order to stabilize the destructive power above 20. However, the destructive power they exerted was only over 20, and there was not even one that exceeded 30.

Only Pan Yian easily punched and broke the thirty mark directly.

Li Xiu punched again, and the value was still 24, exactly the same as the last time.

"I'll go out first." Shalai was not sure that he could get a value above thirty, so he did not dare to participate in the next round of trials.

"Your way of exerting force is wrong, otherwise you should be able to break thirty easily." Li Xiu said to Sha Lai.

"What's wrong?" Shalai's eyes lit up when he heard this and he asked anxiously.

Doge and others disagreed with Li Xiu's words. It was a bit funny that he, a person who could only deal a damage value of 24, actually said that someone with a destructive power of nearly 30 was not good enough.

They have already determined in their hearts that Li Xiu must have some special identity that is why Pan respects him so much, and it is not because of his strong strength that he is respected.

"You're using too much force." Li Xiu thought for a moment and said, "This kind of attack relies on explosive power, and explosive power is not continuous power. Before you throw a punch, all the muscles in your body are already extremely tense. Before you throw a punch, part of the muscle strength has already been consumed. Try to relax yourself first, and only let the power burst out completely at the moment of punching. The destructive power should easily exceed thirty."

"What should I do?" Shalai tried to throw a few punches but couldn't get the hang of it.

He learned his fighting techniques through combat, and had not received any systematic training. He just did whatever was comfortable and accustomed to him. But sometimes feelings can be deceiving.

Li Xiu walked up to Sha Lai and instructed him what to do.

Doge and the others looked at it for a while, then took off their bracelets and exited the trial.

In their opinion, what Li Xiu said was nothing but clichés and not practical at all.

If Shalai really believed him and continued to participate in the third round of trials, he would probably be dead.

"I don't know who that guy is to make our legion commander respect him so much. Is he the second-generation rich kid from some megacity? He relies on his status to point fingers and do things there, which is really harmful to others." Doge muttered in a low voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is the legion commander that kind of person? Anyone who can be respected so much by the legion commander must have his reasons." The other comrades disagreed with Doge's statement.

Although they didn't think Li Xiu was that great, they also didn't think Pan would put himself in such a low position just because the other party was a second-generation rich.

"Hey, you've heard what he said. Do you think it's reliable? Are those things useful on the battlefield? We fight in wars with our momentum and passion. Relax first, then what's the point of fighting?" Doge curled his lips and said, "In my opinion, that guy is just a theoretical talker. I don't see how strong he is, but he's still teaching others what to do. Only Shalai, that idiot, would believe him. Believe it or not, if Shalai doesn't come out this round, he'll definitely be done for. As for that guy himself, if he has skills, he can still hold on through the third round, otherwise he'll be done for."

The other people remained silent. They also felt that what Li Xiu said had far more theoretical value than practical use.

In the trial field, when the countdown ended, Shalai did not choose to give up. Now he has the confidence to pass the third round.

Pan had been watching from the side without saying anything. What Li Xiu said seemed to be instructing Shalai, but it was also talking about him, and he listened to it.

People understand things differently because of their standing heights. In Doge's opinion, Li Xiu's theories are useless, but for Pan, they are like enlightenment.

"Have I been working too hard in the past two years?" Pan reflected on his actions in his heart.

For ordinary soldiers fighting on the front lines, bravery and passion are needed, but for a commander, excessive radicalism is not necessarily a good thing.

In the past two years, the Fourth Army has been known for its bravery among the Gu Yue Legion. Its fighting style is very brave and it has won many victories in battle.

However, the casualty rate of the Fourth Army was also the highest among the ten armies of the Guyue Legion.

Pan had not realized this problem before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he does not need to be so anxious about some battles. If he can be patient and wait a little longer, accumulating enough strength instead of forcing a victory with a smaller force, the casualties of his soldiers will be greatly reduced.

When Pan reflected on it now, he broke out in a cold sweat. He had realized his problem. He had been too impatient in the past two years.

As a commander, courage is commendable, but solitary bravery should not be a permanent strategy.

Of course, because those words were said by Li Xiu, Pan was able to listen to them and reflect on himself.

If an ordinary soldier had said these words to him, Pan might not have been able to listen to them, and probably wouldn't have thought so much about it.

The truth is the same, but when expressed by different people it can have different influences. This is not a problem of truth, but a problem of people.

Bang!

The third round has begun. Shalai threw a punch at the dummy. The value on the display screen rose rapidly and finally reached 32.7.

"Damn it, I thought I could just do it, but I didn't expect that in the end it still depends on technology." Shalai cursed with a smile, not knowing whether he was excited or depressed.

Li Xiu used the skill of Boiling Blood, which directly doubled the previous value of twenty-four to as much as forty-eight points.

The same S-level blood boiling, when used by Li Xiu, can directly double it, and it is incredibly stable.

Pan walked up to the dummy and only typed in a value of over thirty. This was not because he couldn't do more, but because his mind was no longer on this trial.

After completing the test, Pan walked up to Li Xiu, saluted him properly, and then left the trial without saying anything.

The trial is no longer important to Pan, he has more important things to do.

When Doge and a few others were whispering, they saw a flash of light at the trial gate and a figure appeared in front of the door.

When Doge and the others saw that it was Pan and there was no sign of Li Xiu and Sha Lai, they thought that Li Xiu and Sha Lai were dead.

"Captain, where are those two people?" Doge thought he knew the answer but asked.

"They are still continuing the trial." Pan's answer surprised Dog and the others.

Pan has come out, but the two of them are still in the trial. How is this possible?

"Next time you see that person, you have to be polite, do you understand?" Pan seemed to have thought of something and said to Doge.

"Don't worry, Commander. I will be polite to your friend." Doge said quickly.

Pan glanced at him and said calmly, "So, I owe you a favor."

"What's the matter with favors? You are my legion commander and this is what I should do." Doge said embarrassedly, scratching his head.

"You are quite sensible." Pan said.

"It's all thanks to your good teaching, Commander." Doge didn't realize anything was wrong and continued to say cheerfully.

"Alas, this is all I've taught you. I'm a real failure. You're still acting so proud. I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death with one punch." Pan didn't bother to pay attention to Doge anymore. He turned around and walked away, sighing inwardly, "Fortunately, he was enlightened. Otherwise, if I only taught these idiots in the future, I'd be finished."

In the trial field, Li Xiu looked at Sha Lai and said, "You don't have enough strength. Wait for me outside."

Hearing what Li Xiu said, Sha Lai chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we came here together, so of course we have to go together. I will accompany you in the final trial."

"You will accompany me?" Li Xiu looked at Shalai in surprise. The destructive power value requirement for the third round was thirty, and the final trial should be forty. Even if Shalai could exert his passion to the limit, it was impossible for him to produce a destructive power of forty.

Shalai said proudly: "With those guys here just now, how could I possibly show my trump card? You have been growing up during this period, and I have not been idle either. Although I have not been promoted to a true trialist, I still have some skills."

"I have an S-level skill, which I usually don't use. I keep it for ambush people. Even Kunsha and the others have never seen it. Today I'll let you see it." Shalai said with narrowed eyes.

"I'm really looking forward to it. What kind of S-level skill is that?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Hehe, my S-level skill is called Ice Breaking. Although it cannot enhance physical fitness, it can increase destructive power. It works wonders in the Boxing Master Trial. But in the past, I was still not sure if I could pass the final B-level trial. Now that I have learned your skills, there will be no problem. Breaking forty will be a piece of cake." Shalai said confidently.

The fourth round of the final trial began, and the passing score was indeed forty. Li Xiu looked at Shalai, only to see Shalai standing in front of the dummy and suddenly punched the dummy's chest.

There was a dull bang, and the tumbler-like dummy did not move at all. However, many tiny cracks appeared on the dummy's chest.

The number on the display instantly exceeded forty and stopped at forty-three.

"This skill is pretty good!" Li Xiu was a little surprised.

His ice-breaking skill is obviously a technique of concentrating strength.

"Hehe, you have good vision. Even though the Ice Breaking skill may seem insignificant and has no special performance, it is very useful to ambush people." Shalai said proudly.

"Yes, it's really a good thing." Li Xiu nodded and walked to his dummy.

Bang!

Li Xiu punched the dummy in the chest just like Shalai did, but the dummy didn't move at all. There were cracks on its chest, more than Shalai's.

The number on the monitor directly exceeded fifty, making Shalai's eyes widen, almost popping out of his head.

"You also have ice-breaking skills?" Shalai asked with wide eyes.

"No, I learned some tricks from your ice-breaking skills." Li Xiu said.

Li Xiu had no way to understand and learn skills like boiling blood that stimulated potential, but breaking the ice was a cohesive technique, and Li Xiu was able to learn and utilize some of the technical components.

"Can we still learn skills?" Everyone in Shalai was a little confused.

The skills he had worked so hard to acquire in the trial field were actually learned by Li Xiu after just one look. This was simply unfair.

“Not all skills can be learned. This one is relatively simple,” said Li Xiu.

Sha Lai looked at Li Xiu with a complicated expression, and after a long while he managed to utter two words: "Beast!"

After the rewards came out, Li Xiu actually got the Trial Badge by chance. Unfortunately, he could only choose one reward this time, so Li Xiu directly chose the Trial Badge.

Li Xiu was choosing when he heard Sha Lai's excited roar: "I've finally waited for this."

Li Xiu turned his head and saw that among the rewards from Shalai, there was an admission ticket.

"Li Xiu, you are really my lucky star." Sha Lai wanted to pounce on him, hug Li Xiu and take a bite of him.

"What a coincidence. You choose the admission ticket first, and I'll go in with you to take a look." Li Xiu said.
