Chapter 28: Yellow Sand and Death!
Su Xiao, holding a sword, stretched out his hands.
Although he hadn't gotten to the point where his sword was an extension of his hands, at the moment, Su Xiao felt different with a sword in his hands.
It wasn't easy to reach such a level in a short time.
Even though he had spent 1,000 Paradise coins in just one hour, Su Xiao felt that it was worth it.
Koshiro didn't teach him any moves, but he opened a new door for him.
— Summon Koshiro again.
Su Xiao was in a good mood right now, so he decided to summon Cosiro again.
[Unable to summon the mentioned image]
[The Hunter's permission was activated, please indicate the time of validity.]
Su Xiao smiled. Apparently his hunter identity was useful even in this place.
— Three hours.
[Kosiro's image summoning is complete.]
Koshiro reappeared in the dojo. After appearing, Koshiro only nodded at Su Xiao.
Su Xiao was a little surprised. Koshiro seemed to recognize him.
— Okay, let's pick up where we left off. You tried to feel the sword.
Kosiro's words let Su Xiao know that Heaven had provided him with the "image", not Kosiro himself.
Fortunately, this 'image' had the memories of previous copies, which was undoubtedly good news for Su Xiao.
— You are now qualified to learn from me.
Koshiro drew his weapon for the first time. Su Xiao recognized it — this sword was one of the masterpieces of "O Wazamono", which means "Great Blades".».
Su Xiao stood up and charged at Koshiro with his sword. Since time was expensive, he had to spend every minute profitably to become stronger.
The sharp sound of swords clashing rang out. The fight with Koshiro was undoubtedly valuable. If it wasn't for the help of Reincarnation Heaven, Su Xiao wouldn't have had such a great opportunity.
During the fight, Su Xiao noticed Koshiro's every move. It was as if he was a dry sponge that quickly absorbed all of Koshiro's knowledge.
After an hour of continuous struggle, Su Xiao's clothes were completely soaked in sweat.
— Take a break, there are a few things you should pay attention to...
While he was resting, Koshiro started pointing out Su Xiao's shortcomings.
Since it was the image of Koshiro, he taught Su Xiao everything he knew, without hiding anything important.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye, but Su Xiao still wanted to learn from him.
— Time's up, see you next time.
Koshiro gradually disappeared, and Su Xiao was about to summon Koshiro again, but when he saw the remaining 4027 Paradise coins, he knew that he should have stopped there.
Su Xiao took a deep breath. The feeling that he wasn't controlling some of his power was gone.
Clenching his fist and slamming it into the air, he finally realized that he could control all of his strength. Now, he only needed to take the final step.
— Launch Real battle mode.
[Real Battle mode consumes 10 Paradise coins per minute.
To run?
yes/no]
— Launch it.
[Real battle mode has been launched, mechanical dolls will appear in thirty seconds, please get ready.]
The surrounding scene changed from a dojo to a desert.
The dojo was a scene generated due to Koshiro's appearance, but now, due to the regime change, all he saw was an endless desert.
And this mode is not deactivated until Su Xiao "dies».
But naturally, it was impossible to die in this place.
A strong wind whipped up the yellow sand, and a moment later, a silver-white iron ball emerged from the sand to the surface.
But it wasn't an iron ball at all, it was the head of a mechanical puppet.
Mechanical puppets made of steel began to climb out of the sand, and dozens of pairs of red eyes stared at Su Xiao.
There were more and more of them, and soon, about a hundred mechanical puppets surrounded Su Xiao.
[The preparation time has expired, and the real battle mode has been activated.]
*Creaking sound!*
With simultaneous creaking sounds coming from all directions, the mechanical puppets surrounded Su Xiao in the blink of an eye.
This alone made Su Xiao realize that he couldn't be careless, and he immediately began to straighten out his breathing.
Countless weapons flew at him from all directions, leaving virtually no room for evasion.
Suddenly there were several cold flashes and one of the dolls fell apart.
Su Xiao was different from his past self. Now, whether it was his physique or his swordsmanship, it was all greatly improved.
The metal shattered and fell to the yellow sand...
The uphill battle had just begun to gain momentum...
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the entrance of the test hall.
After touching his head and realizing that it was fine, he nodded.
— How realistic.
Su Xiao walked away from the building with a smile on his face. Although he had spent over 4,000 Paradise coins, he had fully adapted to his current strength.
And not only did this become his harvest — but he was also able to increase his skill with edged weapons.
[Second skill:
Specialized Melee Weapon Proficiency: Level 2 (Passive Skill)
Skill Effect: Increases melee attack power by 12% when using melee weapons and improves melee weapon proficiency.]
His melee weapon skill has increased by one level. According to Su Xiao's guess, raising the level of such skills was very difficult.
But besides being able to improve his skills on his own, he could also improve them with coins and soul crystals.
It was only now that Su Xiao realized the approximate value of the soul crystal, and fortunately, he was able to kill that elite creature earlier, which was why he received one such small crystal.
As for buying such crystals, he hadn't even seen one on any merchant's counter.
After returning to his room, Su Xiao spent 100 Paradise coins and expanded his bedroom, purchased a bathroom and other rooms, then arranged the furniture he bought.
After a few minutes, Su Xiao's room changed. It has become not only spacious, but also luxurious.
As Su Xiao sat down on the soft bed that cost 40 Paradise coins, he was lost in thought.
Right now, he had the soul crystal in his hands, and he had two options: either upgrade an existing skill or unlock a new skill.
In fact, he didn't have many combat skills right now, with all of them shouting that he would only fight in close combat in the future.
But it was a very promising route, as there were many strong melee warriors.
In the world of Van Pease, the strongest swordsman was Drakul Mihawk, who fought with a single sword.
Drakul Mihawk used a sword, but not only Drakul Mihawk used a sword-Shanks was an outstanding swordsman, and there were many similar characters.
This showed that specialization in one area was very promising.
And since Su Xiao wasn't familiar with his Qing Gang Ying skill, he wasn't in a hurry to unlock the new skill.
After much hesitation, Su Xiao finally decided to improve his skill" specialized cold weapon proficiency", as it would be able to improve its strength very well.
[To upgrade, you will need a soul crystal (small) and 1,000 coins.]
After a few seconds, Su Xiao's mind began to fill with new knowledge.
Specialized Melee Weapon Proficiency: Level 3 (Passive Skill)
Skill Effect: Increases melee attack power by 14% when using melee weapons and improves melee weapon proficiency.]
Using this method of improving skills, you didn't need to work hard to improve the skill, because everything you needed was immediately entered into the creature's consciousness.
No wonder soul crystals were so rare. These kinds of items that could immediately allow one to improve a skill were considered very valuable. Su Xiao was really lucky to be able to get something like this from the green chest.
In fact, it wasn't the result of luck alone. Because of the difficulty of the world, Su Xiao received better rewards. And this is unlikely to happen often in the future.
