Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 131 Archers are the strongest melee fighters
With the Blood Moon skill being integrated, an obscure rune appeared on the Hermes Blade, and half a black chain appeared at the end of the dagger's hilt. There were no extra embellishments, only antiquity and the sedimentation of time.

"Your weapon has changed."

Having fought Ling Chuan, Lin Xixi saw it clearly. Hermes already possessed powerful special effects, and now with the addition of half a chain, it seemed even more realistic.

Ling Chuan smiled and replied, "It just ate something and has grown a bit."

"Really? Give it to me."

The conversation abruptly shifted, and Lin Xixi surprisingly didn't respond to his comment. This wouldn't do; he felt like he was being abandoned by a little brat.

"Aren't you curious about what it ate?" Ling Chuan tried to pique her interest.

"I just want to know what it feels like to hold the critical strike ring in my hand."

Having failed to seduce her, Ling Chuan had no choice but to throw her the Thunder Ring from the Fire Dragon Box and continue tempting her, "Now you can be curious, right?"

Lin Xixi wiped the ring, glanced at its attributes, and said with satisfaction, "I'm curious, very curious, what did it eat?"

Ling Chuan grinned. "Look."

With a whoosh, Hermes was enveloped in blood-red light, the dark demonic flames were suddenly replaced by the crimson color, and the 50-centimeter-long dagger instantly doubled in length.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
He swung his sword a few times, mimicking Lin Xixi's movements, drawing an even longer, blood-red arc of light, and said, mimicking Lin Xixi's expression, "How about it? Cool, right?"

Lin Xixi opened her mouth wide, Lin Keke looked blank, and Yi Hanling Feixue immediately understood after a brief moment of distraction.

"Isn't this my skill?"

Lin Xixi grabbed Ling Chuan's hand and examined it closely. After a few seconds, she confirmed that it was the same Blood Moon skill as her own!
"How did you do that?!" She was stunned, her face full of confusion.

Ling Chuan retrieved Hermes and proudly said, "It was traded."

"What did you exchange it for?"

Can this thing be exchanged? Isn't it a 3S skill? Are 3S skills not rare at all?
“A ring,” Ling Chuan replied.

"Who?"

"you."

"..."

"This is impossible!"

Lin Xixi was bewildered. Ling Feixue sighed, "Xixi, Xiaochuan's dagger has the special effect of stealing other people's skills."

"Steal?"

She quickly checked her skill bar; Blood Moon was still there. She cast it once and it was still usable. It hadn't been stolen.

Ling Chuan explained, "It's called stealing, but actually it's stealing, copying, and then returning. It doesn't really steal the skill."

"Ling Chuan!!" Lin Xixi was furious, as if she had lost millions of dollars.

"I didn't get it for free! Didn't I already give you the critical strike ring?"

"Three S-level skills are worth a single Radiant Silver Ring???"

Lin Xixi had already closed in, her expression like she wanted to devour someone.

See, he knew this would be the reaction, so he used a trick. Otherwise, given her personality, she would never easily let him replicate her skills. After all, she finally won the championship trophy, stood on the podium, and was ready to receive praise from the world. Then you suddenly came up with an identical trophy, stood in front of her, and stole everything from her. It would be strange if she didn't want to kick you.

"Alright, alright, then I'll teach you the two Blood Moon techniques I just learned, okay?" This skill had been developed into six different uses in my previous life, each of which was a unique skill.

"You grasped it so quickly?" Lin Xixi didn't believe it. This skill, including the time it took to be copied from her, had only taken a few minutes. Could someone really grasp how to use it in just a few minutes? Are you kidding me?

Ling Chuan scoffed, "Who do you take me for? A hunter, you know what a hunter is? Archer, watch closely."

call!
Hermes enveloped his arm, the Blood Moon state that hadn't ended before still present. Ling Chuan's eyes narrowed, his center of gravity shifted to the side, and he shouted, "Blood Flash!"

呲!
The shadow swept past and landed three meters away. Behind him, a five-meter-long slash mark solidified, but it was different from Lin Xixi's, because this slash mark was not a straight line, but an extremely smooth arc!
Perfect, cool, and awesome! Especially the moment when he pronounces the skill name, it's just so cool.

"How about it?"

Sheathing his blade, Ling Chuan turned around and raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't it a linear skill? How can it forcibly change the trajectory?" Yi Han was stunned.

Ling Chuan countered, "Isn't an arc a line?"

Lin Keke rarely responded, "It's a thread, but how could it change direction?"

Ling Chuan was very patient with Lin Keke; he liked well-behaved children.

"It's very simple. At the moment the skill bursts out, you can change the position of your center of gravity to change the trajectory. In fact, as long as you are fast enough, you can change your center of gravity multiple times before the 'flash' ends."

With three seconds left on the twenty-second cooldown, Ling Chuan drew Hermes once more, his expression unusually focused. Once the cooldown was over, he uttered a soft shout: "Blood Flash!"

呲呲呲!
Three slashes appeared, and Ling Chuan's figure appeared diagonally in front of him. Behind him, a bloody trail in a tight Z-shape appeared in front of everyone!

Taking a deep breath, Ling Chuan finished his movement and continued, "This kind of operation can also be done."

"..."

Shock was an understatement to describe their feelings. The Blood Flash was a near-instantaneous piercing skill; how long did it take from release to termination? 0.3 seconds? 0.4 seconds? To change the linear trajectory three times in such a short time—was that even humanly possible?!

In fact, not only Yi Han and Ling Feixue, but even Ling Chuan himself was surprised; his young body was really good. He thought he could only complete the [7-character flash] in two transformations, but he did not expect that an explosive control of the center of gravity would achieve the [Z-shaped combo] that Qian Qiuyue had only proposed in theory in his previous life. This was just a casual attempt. If he unleashed his full power and increased the force, could he achieve the final stage of Blood Moon, [one slash and three flashes]?
"Xiaochuan, is this kind of operation actually effective?"

While flashy designs may be visually appealing, skill is more about lethality and results. If the lethality and results remain unchanged, then flashiness is merely an embellishment.

Ling Chuan affirmed, "Of course, the variations of Arc Flash are used for prediction and pursuit. Once a strong opponent has seen Blood Flash once, they can basically dodge it easily. The variations of Arc Flash are to increase the hit rate. As for the second use of [Z-shaped Combo Slash], apart from its more powerful pursuit effect than Arc Flash, it can forcibly turn a linear skill that originally only has one hit into two hits. The effective points of the two hits are the two turning points of the Z-shape."

"Is this okay?"

Lingchuan's explanation is not obscure; one can easily grasp the truth within it.

"Does that mean that when attacking targets with a larger collision volume, such as a BOSS, the Z-shaped combo can deal three hits of damage?"

Yi Han reacted quickly and immediately thought of the best way to use it.

"That's right. As long as the collision volume is large enough, the Z-shaped combo can deal three hits of damage. However, if you can master this technique to the extreme and complete three trajectory changes in a straight line, you can deal three hits of damage even with a blade of grass."

The group exchanged bewildered glances. A level 1 skill with a base damage of 150% when attacked from the optimal angle was already incredibly overpowered. Yet, Xiao Chuan had instantly grasped the technique to triple its power—three times, a 450% damage percentage! If it were leveled up to the maximum…wouldn't it be insane?!

Looking at Ling Chuan again, the four of them could no longer look directly at him. Thinking back to what Ling Chuan had said about archers, they suddenly realized that they had only thought that the rumor that had been passed down to this day was an old joke. Now they knew that the statement that archers were the strongest melee fighters was completely correct.

Okay, that's all for today. I'll update twice tomorrow. The next chapter is my thoughts after being recommended. You can choose to read it if you want.
