Chapter 170 still needs to be selected (two chapters in one)
Viscount Norman and his wife were also on the second floor of the luxurious mansion, watching the battle between the two people in the center of the training ground through the window.
"I have always thought that Salem should be a good match for Evelyn, but now it seems that Evelyn seems to prefer this new friend, Ryan."
"Dear, do you think Evelyn's new friend is really so powerful that he can defeat Salem, the second son of Count Zeman?" A well-dressed lady asked with her head tilted.
"If what Evelyn said is true, then her friend should have no problem winning." A middle-aged man with a neatly combed beard nodded.
This person is Evelyn's father, Viscount Norman.
After he learned from his daughter about Ryan's performance in this canonization assessment, he became quite interested in Ryan.
Because he knew very well that in this world, as long as one has enough strength, then fame, status and wealth will follow one after another, and these are just icing on the cake.
Ryan seemed to have thought of something, raised the dark pig-head hammer in his hand, and asked: "Sir Salem, do you need to change to a training weapon?"
"No, if it is a training weapon, it can't withstand our collision. Sir Ryan, let's use our own weapons." Salem shook his head and said.
"Okay!" Ryan nodded, and said nothing.
Salem was telling the truth, because the competition between the opponent and Evelyn just now was also with their own weapons.
After reaching the level of peak knights, they are already very familiar with their own weapons and combat skills, so as long as it is not a competition at the level of secret skills, generally speaking, they can control it freely.
Even if they are injured, the injuries are relatively minor.
Soon, Ryan and Salem fought.
"Break the limit!"
After both of them broke the limit, their body movements and changes became extremely fast!
Ryan held a two-handed war hammer to perform the Tokkar hammer technique, while Salem held a sword and shield, which should be because their family combat skills are biased towards sword and shield combat skills.
"Bang!"
"Ding-ding-dang-dang!"
The sound of weapons clashing continued to ring out!
The harsh sound shocked the servants on the side and they covered their ears one after another, their faces in pain.
But after watching for a while, Evelyn frowned slightly.
Obviously, Ryan's performance was not too strong, but too weak!
It can be said that Ryan's performance at this moment is completely different from his performance when he hit the "ship-breaking" in the canonization assessment.
What is Ryan doing?
Deliberately hiding his weakness? Or is he testing Salem's strength first?
Or is he showing mercy because Salem is his friend?
At this time, the female knight next to Evelyn was also very puzzled. She turned her head and asked, "Evelyn, didn't you just say that this Lord Ryan is so powerful, but now I feel that he is basically at the same level as you and Salem."
It seems that after hearing the female knight's speech, the other people on the side also expressed their opinions.
"Yes, what Anis said is right."
"This Lord Ryan's strength is indeed the best among his peers, but Evelyn, whether you or Salem, they are all at this level, not as exaggerated as you said."
"Eveln, from this point of view, what you just said, that Lord Ryan is the first in this canonization assessment, I feel that it is not so credible."
"That's right! Although I am not the opponent of Lord Ryan, I can say with certainty that his strength is still inferior to Bridger Sanchez of Dorne County." Osby also echoed, and his eyes flashed again.
Faced with the doubts of several companions, Evelyn didn't know what to say for a while, but just quietly watched the competition between the two people in the center of the venue.
At this time, Ryan was carefully controlling the degree of the "breaking limit".
Because the knights whose physical limit breaking degree exceeds 60% of this "level" are called peak knights.
But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that a 70% limit breaking degree is also called a peak knight, but it is obviously better than 60%, and a limit breaking degree of 80% is even better, but it is still called a peak knight.
So, although they are all peak knights, the difference between them is huge.
For example, Ryan can feel that the second son of the earl, Salem, who is his opponent, has a limit breaking degree of about 65%. He is indeed a peak knight, but it is about 10% lower than his 73% limit breaking degree.
In addition, Ryan's super spirit brings sensitive perception, allowing him to grasp some details in high-speed mobile battles.
Therefore, Ryan is not exerting his full strength at present, but has almost controlled the "limit breaking" degree to about 60%, so that he can fight with Salem.
As for why he didn't end the battle quickly?
Of course, it's because he wants to gain experience in Tokkar's hammer technique!
Many previous battle experiences have told Ryan that compared with "intense battles that end in a short time" and "relatively intense battles that end in a longer time", the latter has a higher system experience value reward.
Of course, fighting against an opponent who is obviously inferior to you, even if you delay the battle for a long time, the system experience value reward is very low.
For example, in the previous competition between Ryan and Lagre, a senior knight VS a quasi-knight, after many competitions, the experience value was only a few points.
Therefore, Ryan cannot defeat Salem directly with a few hammers, which does not conform to the principle of maximizing the benefit of experience value.
Since he did not know that Ryan was deliberately letting him win, Salem, on the other hand, was getting more and more confident at this moment.
If Salem was more cautious at the beginning of the battle, it could even be said that he was a little restrained, but as the battle went on for about a minute, he felt that he had roughly figured out Ryan's strength.
Is Ryan strong?
Strong, but not as strong as Evelyn said.
The other party is giving in?
Impossible!
Hiding a trump card?
Salem carefully observed Ryan for a while, and seeing Ryan's calm expression, he nodded secretly in his heart. He felt that Ryan must have a secret skill that he had not used yet.
But wasn't he?
So, after the two of them collided heavily with their hammers and shields, they both withdrew several meters and stood still.
Salem said with high morale: "Sir Ryan, it feels so good to meet a worthy opponent! Please allow me to fight with all my strength. I will use my extraordinary characteristics and secret skills in the subsequent battles."
"Please don't hold back."
Ryan raised his eyebrows and looked at Salem who was quite high-spirited in front of him.
This. 'Experience NPC', you are a little proud!
If you didn't hold back, I guess you would have died long ago.
But Ryan thought about it, what's wrong with an 'experience NPC' in his eyes, trying so hard to create as much experience as possible for himself?
On the contrary, this attitude is worthy of praise!
Well, I will just improve my strength until the opponent's physical strength is exhausted.
Moreover, this is also a way to gain the most experience points.
So, after a little thought, Ryan smiled and said, "Of course! Lord Salem, please go ahead."
"Lord Ryan, you have to be careful!"
"Swift!"
The next second, with Salem's loud shout, his entire speed suddenly increased by 20% to 30%. The opponent immediately dragged a residual image and rushed towards Ryan like an arrow from a string.
Speed-type extraordinary characteristics!
Not bad!
Ryan immediately raised the degree of "breaking the limit" to the full value.
Because Ryan's strength, agility, and body increased by 13% from 60% to 73%, even if Salem activated the extraordinary characteristic "Swiftness", the gap in agility between the two sides was not too big.
On the other hand, Ryan's high perception brought by his high spirit and his control of combat details is better than Salem, so with the two offsetting each other, he can basically deal with it steadily.
"Bang Bang!"
"Dang!!"
The two's weapons collided at a faster speed than before, sparks flew everywhere!!!
The servants couldn't stand it anymore and moved away.
Salem's almost full-strength display made the young people watching on the side excited.
"Salem is getting serious!"
"It's time to show this outsider the strength of our young people in Rossby City."
"Well, it should be coming soon, the secret skill of the Count Zeman family, 'Phantom Strike'!" Osby also looked at the center of the venue with anticipation.
But Evelyn was full of doubts. Could this be Ryan's true strength?
Impossible!
Even if Ryan didn't use the ability of a wizard apprentice, he shouldn't have the current strength.
Viscount Norman upstairs also frowned slightly.
Huh?
This is still different from what his daughter said.
Now it seems that Ryan's strength is about the same as Salem's.
At this time, the battle between the two people in the center of the venue suddenly changed!
Suddenly, Ryan's pupils shrank sharply.
Because he suddenly found that the knight's long sword in Salem's right hand first shrank back, and then, at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, it stabbed forward extremely quickly.
Because the speed of this attack was so fast that the opponent's elbow joint remained in place, but the real attack had already arrived in front of him.
It seems that every young man who can get an excellent evaluation in the canonization assessment has one or two killer moves.
At this time, it was too late to swing the heavy pig-headed hammer to block.
However, this was not difficult for Ryan, who had not yet used the two extraordinary characteristics.
Ryan suddenly let go of the pig-headed hammer and grabbed Salem's knight's long sword with his bare hands.
This scene stunned everyone in an instant!
Is this a waste of hands?
At the same time, Ryan's body size exploded, his muscles were knotted, like a giant beast.
But no matter how strong the muscles are, the defense of the body cannot withstand the attack of a peak knight holding a weapon! Everyone thought.
"Hiss!!!"
A burst of sparks flew!
Salem's knight's sword was stopped by Ryan's hands.
"It was really stopped?" The female knight beside him murmured, covering her mouth.
The people around him looked at each other in surprise. It was the first time they saw Salem's secret skill "Phantom Strike" being broken by the opponent.
He actually used his hands to grab the knight's sword that performed "Phantom Strike".
Oh my God!
"I don't believe Ryan's hand can be safe and sound. I'm afraid his hand should be useless and he is just holding on!" Osby couldn't help but blurt out.
"Snap!" Ryan's chrome iron glove broke and fell to the ground.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ryan's hand.
Intact!
Not a trace of blood.
Perhaps, there was a white mark.
"How is this possible!" Osby pointed at the scene with an unbelievable look on his face!
The other people were also stunned!
Evelyn nodded slightly.
That's right!
This is in line with the strength she had in her mind.
Ryan pushed hard and forced Salem's knight's sword away, saying:
"Good secret skills, Lord Salem, please continue!"
Salem, who had repeatedly used "Breaking Limits", extraordinary characteristics of swiftness, and the last trick "Phantom Strike", was now sweating profusely and was on the verge of exhaustion.
He originally planned to use this attack to lock in the victory, but he didn't expect that Ryan would break it in a way he could not have expected.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Ryan's words, Salem's face turned red, so he mustered up the last bit of his remaining strength and fought again.
But this time, Salem was even worse. In less than ten seconds, his steps were messy due to excessive physical exhaustion.
This made Ryan shake his head slightly.
This 'experience NPC' in front of him has tried his best, and it's time to end!
However, out of respect for Salem's 'hard work', Ryan planned to use a 'earth-breaking hammer' to end the battle.
Ryan's body further swelled, exceeding two meters and two meters. A set of chrome knight suits hung on Ryan's body like baby clothes. This was Ryan who released the 'power burst' and turned into the 'triple state' state!
This instantly made Evelyn's pupils shrink! That's
right!
This is the form!
This is the form when Ryan broke the 'Shipwreck' that night!
"Ryan, don't kill him!" Evelyn shouted from the side.
She wanted to go forward to rescue, but it was too late!
Viscount Norman, who was on the second floor of the mansion, also had a changed look, but at this moment he was too far away from the training ground. Even if he wanted to rescue, he was powerless!
So, in the eyes of everyone's horror, Ryan, like a giant beast, swung his dark double-handed hammer, from top to bottom, with a shriek that tore through the air, and blasted at Salem like lightning!
Salem closed his eyes and thought it was over!
"Boom!"
But the next second, Ryan slightly tilted the pig-headed hammer and slammed it heavily on the ground in front of Salem.
The ground within a range of seven or eight meters was dusty. After a few seconds, as the smoke and dust dissipated, a pit appeared in the center of the training ground that looked like a meteorite had hit it. The deepest point in the center reached more than one meter, forming a fan-shaped area, shaking and extending forward.
It was not until four or five meters later that the ground had no obvious ups and downs.
The second son of the Earl, Salem, who was originally in high spirits and thought he could defeat Ryan, was blown high into the air and spurted a large mouthful of blood.
This was the result of Ryan deliberately avoiding hitting people and hitting their feet.
"Bang!"
Salem fell heavily to the ground, but soon struggled to get up, with a look of fear and trepidation on his face.
At that moment, he really smelled the breath of death!
If Ryan's hammer had been half a meter forward, he would have been dead!
Being hit by Ryan's dark heavy hammer just now, there is a high probability that there is no option of broken tendons and bones. Basically, there is only one way to go, which is to return to the arms of the goddess.
At this time, the second-generation nobles who were watching on the side reacted, quickly stepped forward, and helped Salem up with their hands and feet, and quickly checked his injuries.
But soon, they found that Salem had no obvious injuries on his body, indicating that the vomiting of blood just now was only due to the aftermath of the shock.
Although the injury was not light, it was not serious after all.
In addition, the second generation of nobles had good eyesight. They could see that Ryan had stopped this time and did not hit Salem with the previous blow.
Therefore, the eyes of the few of them looking at Ryan at this moment were full of awe and admiration.
The female knight then closed her wide mouth and said to Evelyn beside her: "Evelyn, I take back what I just said. Such a solid training ground can be smashed into this state. Ryan is simply not a normal person."
Evelyn was also staring at the ground of her own training ground in a daze!
If she said that Ryan broke the thick hull of the "Shipwreck" last time, she could not quite empathize with it, after all, she had never hit the hull.
But she knew clearly how solid the ground of her own training ground was. You know, she has been training here since she was a child.
The repeatedly compacted soil of her own training ground is almost as hard as ordinary rocks.
But under Ryan's attack, it became like this!
On Ryan's side, the system prompt has appeared:
[Your skill Tokkar Hammer Technique has been improved, experience value +178]
[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Extraordinary) experience value +69]
After this competition with Salem, Ryan successfully upgraded Tokkar Hammer Technique from lv4 (843/1000) to lv5 (21/2000).
At this time, Ryan is feeling the newly appeared fragmented Tokkar Hammer Technique training memory in his mind.
These memory fragments are scattered fragments of Hammer Technique training, as if they are all the training time that Ryan personally experienced. At this moment, he is quickly digesting and absorbing them and integrating them into his own muscle memory.
Soon, Ryan felt as if he had gained two years of hard practice of Tokkar's hammer technique.
Some details of the hammer technique that he had neglected before were gradually becoming clear in his mind.
At this time, Salem, who was supported by someone, looked at Ryan and said seriously, "Thank you, Lord Ryan, for holding back!"
Ryan came back to his senses and took a look at the second son of the earl, Salem, and saw that his face was pale and he looked depressed like a defeated rooster.
Ryan still agreed with this "experience NPC" who tried his best and did his best.
Because the other party had just tried his best to compete with him, providing him with a lot of experience points, helping him to upgrade his hammer technique to level 5.
In addition, the other party was grateful for his mercy, which showed that he was at least a person who knew when to advance and retreat.
In this regard, Ryan would naturally not be stingy with his words of encouragement.
"This... I'm sorry, Lord Salem, your strength is very good, so I was excited just now and couldn't stop." Ryan said apologetically.
When Salem heard Ryan's praise and recognition of him, his face, which was originally quite disappointed, suddenly turned red, and he said excitedly: "It is my honor to compete with Lord Ryan. I hope I can ask you for advice again in the future."
Sure enough, when his strength is much higher than that of the other party, the other party can't have much idea of competing.
Moreover, young people need to be affirmed by their elders, or "strong people" like Ryan.
In an instant, an idea came to Ryan's mind.
Maybe he can consider making more friends with some young people with good strength, and then encourage them to compete with him.
After all, youth and passion mean that it is easier to motivate!
However, Ryan glanced at the young second generation next to Salem again, and immediately shook his head slightly in his heart.
It still has to be screened, and those with poor strength will be ignored.
At this time, Viscount Norman and his wife walked down from the second floor of the mansion and came to the training ground.
-
Mayest County City.
In the Bat Market.
In a shop with a star, moon and sun logo on the door, stood a tall customer in a black robe.
This person was Dennis's father, Baron Norman.
After nearly ten days, he still hadn't received a reply from his old friend Adams. Baron Norman also felt something was wrong, so he came to Adams' shop on purpose.
But he was surprised to find that the shop had been sealed!
This immediately cast a layer of haze on his heart!
"Could it be that Adams failed!"
"That's impossible!"
"Could it be that some kind of accident occurred in the middle, and some other masters or forces intervened?"
Baron Norman frowned and pondered.
At the same time, in a luxurious study in the mansion of Earl Habsburg.
A bearded man in black aristocratic clothing with gold trim was looking at a letter in front of him with a gloomy face, muttering to himself:
"Damn, how is this possible!"
"Not only did Ryan pass the canonization test, he even got an excellent evaluation and was awarded the title of Baron. His talent is even more terrifying than Claire's!"
"Ryan became a baron. He actually became a baron!"
"In comparison, my efforts over the years are almost a joke!"
Yesterday, Lamar of the Black Flame Church came to discuss with him, what should he do if Ryan passed the canonization test?
According to the opinion of the high priest conveyed by Malar, once Ryan passed the test, he would transfer him to the fishing port town as a sheriff.
At that time, he also stated that he could do it whether Ryan was awarded the title of knight or knight.
But he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. Now that Ryan was awarded the title of baron, he would not have the final say in this transfer.
His father, Earl Habsburg, would definitely summon Ryan in person.
All the arrangements that I had made with the Black Flame Church were completely null and void!
Damn it!
The key is that Ryan has grown too fast, beyond everyone's expectations!
This can't go on!
Alonso's expression became more and more gloomy, and he made a decision in his heart.
"Michel! Arrange a carriage, I need to go out."
I recommend the new book "Evil Dragon!" by the author of "This Dragon is Too Powerful". Friends who like dragon writing can go and have a look.
