Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 7 Swordsmanship Improvement and Sword Control

"After three consecutive moves, you need to pause and change moves. It's not coherent here."

"No matter which move, there is no way to connect seamlessly."

After killing more than a dozen monsters in succession and recovering his magic power, Su Yu began to review the battle just now.

I have to say that actual combat can indeed help you accumulate experience quickly and find your own shortcomings quickly.

In just a short while, Su Yu discovered the problems left in the sword techniques in these sets of photo stones.

To be precise, the photo stone explains this problem, but I didn’t have much experience with it before actual combat, but now the feeling is very obvious.

There is no solution on the photo stone, only alternatives.

Or you can get another flying sword and control two flying swords at the same time, and use the other flying sword to control other sword moves at the same time to cover up the afterswing of the sword moves.

You can also use thunder magic weapons or thunder magic, and when you have exhausted all your sword moves, you can use thunder to strike down, which can also cover up the afterswing.

But he couldn't do the former, as he only had one flying sword slot.

There is equipment that adds an extra flying sword slot, but he definitely can't afford it as it costs dozens of taels of gold.

Although the latter problem could be solved, Su Yu was not very satisfied.

This method is only effective against small monsters. High-level monsters and bosses have high resistance, so thunder magic cannot deal with them.

“There must be a solution.”

"I don't believe that those top swordsmen are only at this level."

"Perhaps the image stone I bought is not high enough. There may be a higher grade sword image stone. I'll go back and ask."

Su Yu did not go back immediately. There was no rush for that. It would be better to practice this first.

After a short rest, the battle continued.

More than three hundred meters away on the shore, Qiao Bin had been staring at Su Yu for nearly five minutes, until his companions lured another group of monsters over. One of his companions slapped him on the shoulder and asked:

"What are you staring at for so long?"

He came back to his senses, pointed his chin in Su Yu's direction, and said:

"This kid is extraordinary."

The companion took a look and asked doubtfully:
"What's unusual?"

Qiao Bin pursed his lips and said:

"I just watched him for five minutes and saw with my own eyes how he killed the monsters one after another with his skilled swordsmanship."

"It's nothing."

"But what if, in just five minutes, he went from only being able to handle one monster to being able to handle two fish monsters at the same time?"

"Is that true? Did you learn this on the spot?"

"He learned it on the spot. I saw with my own eyes that he went from being unskilled to being proficient."

"Also, I remember that he hadn't learned swordplay yet a week ago. Now, in just a week, he's not only become proficient in swordplay, but he's also grown rapidly in combat."

He looked at his companion and asked:
"Do you remember how long it took you to learn swordsmanship? What was your final result?"

"I studied for half a year, but I couldn't even change my moves properly, so I just gave up."

"hiss!"

"This kid has such a strong talent for swordsmanship?"

"Yes!"

"Isn't this the seed of a top master?"

"Captain, add him as a friend now before he gets out of hand."

"It's too deliberate now. I'll talk about it later."

Su Yu was unaware of their shock and was concentrating on honing his swordsmanship.

The flying sword pierced into the water along the dark blue back of the fish demon. After using up one move, it did not change its move. Instead, it passed through the belly of another fish demon along the bottom of the water, flew out from the abdomen of the third carp demon with a cloud of blood, circled around and rushed into the air, and quickly used another move to entangle the three fish demons.

As his sword skills became more and more proficient, Su Yu began to try to deal with more monsters at the same time to improve efficiency.

On one of the photo stones, he saw a swordsman whose flying sword could easily trap more than a dozen monsters, tightly confining them to an area and preventing them from leaving. He could kill them as easily as cattle and sheep in a pen, which made him extremely envious.

From trying to deal with two at the same time in the beginning, to trying to deal with three at the same time now, and then slowly increase the number after becoming proficient.

As his strength continues to grow, Su Yu is confident that he will be able to achieve that step one day.

"But the flying sword is still a little low-grade. It's too slow to contain so many monsters."

"To reach the standards in the Image Stone, one needs a very high level of basic sword techniques and a better flying sword."

"But advanced sword techniques and flying swords are very expensive!"

"We have to find a way to make money."

Although I still have 5 taels of gold left, it is not enough.

"There are still a few days of guild activities. I will prepare to make money after participating in the guild activities."

"Before that, you can improve your basic sword techniques and make do with it."

"After all, with the bonus of the golden finger, the tenth level of basic sword technique is equivalent to the twenty levels, or even not inferior to the tenth level of exquisite basic sword technique."

That night, Su Yu decisively used the remaining two first-grade cultivation notes.

The basic effect can improve the primary Qi Refining Mentality or basic sword techniques by five levels, and the golden finger doubles it to ten levels. The two cards just increase the upper limit of the Qingshan Sword Sutra level to thirty levels.

Then he spent another three taels of gold to buy 30 first-grade Dao Heart Pills.

One pill increases 3 points of Taoism, the golden finger doubles it to 6 points, 30 pills total 180 points of Taoism, plus the original 13 points, there are 193 points of Taoism left.

Then he spent 397 million training points and 50 points of Taoism to upgrade the Qingshan Sword Art to the 30th level in one go.

Flying sword damage +900, attack speed +600, sword control speed +600 km/h.

His thirty floors are equivalent to others' sixty floors.

In addition, when the Qingshan Sword Technique was upgraded to the 20th level, it finally gave rise to the sword-controlling technique.

Sword-controlling technique: Controlling the flying sword, entering and exiting the blue sky.

Attributes: The sword-controlling speed is the flying sword speed + the basic flying sword technique bonus, each level of sword technique + 40 meters height, and the mana consumption per second is 10 points. This is the attribute after the bonus.

Note that the bonus based on this sword-controlling speed refers to the flying sword bonus. The bonus of his current second-level green fish sword is 15%. 15% of the 600 sword-controlling speed is 120 kilometers per hour.

It seems that the speed is not fast, not even as fast as flying with Qi, but you have to know that the basic sword technique he practiced is the worst, and the flying sword in his hand is only a second-level flying sword, which is at the bottom of the list. How can it be fast?

When the basic sword technique is upgraded to the sixty or seventy levels, you can switch to a sixth or seventh level flying sword, and the speed will instantly reach several thousand kilometers per hour.

In addition, when the basic sword technique is derived from the sword control technique, the attribute panel unlocks the sword control level, namely, "Entering the Azure Sky" and "Controlling the Sword for Thousands of Miles". "Entering the Azure Sky": When controlling the sword, a layer of sword energy is formed outside the body, which is not affected by the strong wind during flight. It is the first level and can reach an altitude of up to 1000 meters.

Riding the Sword for Thousands of Miles: Increases the attack range of the flying sword. Currently at the first level, the maximum sword-riding range is 1 kilometer.

Simply put, the higher the level of sword-controlling skills, the higher the flying altitude of the sword, and the longer the attack distance of the flying sword during battle.

If the level of Riding a Thousand Miles Sword is high enough, you can fly the sword thousands of miles away and take the enemy's head, just like in the vernacular novels.

These two skills are purely the result of hard work and do not require high qualifications. As long as the level of basic sword techniques is improved, the proficiency in sword control will gradually improve.

A good horse needs a good saddle. After upgrading the basic sword skills, Su Yu went to the guild's direct chamber of commerce that night to buy a fourth-level flying sword.

However, when he saw the prices of the row of flying swords on the trading interface, he couldn't help but gasp.

The worst fourth-order flying sword costs at least 100 taels of silver, which is equivalent to one tael of gold. A slightly better one costs 150 taels of silver or 200 taels of silver. If it is a custom-made fine product, the price starts at 300 taels of silver.

"so expensive!"

He looked at the fifth-order flying sword again, the starting price of which was 10 taels of gold.

Moreover, their number is very small, with only about thirty people in Qianyu Pavilion, and their attributes are not very good.

After all, those with good attributes are basically kept for their own use, and those with top-notch attributes have been sold long ago. If you want the best quality, you can only spend a lot of money to customize it, and the customization price starts at 30 taels of gold.

As for the sixth-order flying swords, there are only a few in the Chamber of Commerce directly under the Qianyu Guild, and the starting price is 100 taels of gold.

After browsing around, Su Yu hesitated for a moment and spent two taels of gold and 50 points of guild contribution to customize a fourth-order flying sword.

Fortunately, guild members get a 10% discount, otherwise the money would definitely not be enough.

When he woke up the next morning, he received a message from the manager of Qianyu Pavilion saying that the sword had been refined.

I quickly rushed to the Chamber of Commerce and got the ordered flying sword.

Bingpo (fourth-order flying sword): A fine product, a flying sword made from the mixture of Beiming Bingpo and Tianxing Shensha.

Attributes: Attack power 120-150, attack speed 110-130, sword-controlling speed 110-120, attack bonus 30%, characteristic: Ice Soul.

Ice Soul: The attack deals 120 points of freezing damage, slowing the target's movement and reaction speed by 20%, lasting 1-5 seconds.

Equipment requirements: Basic Sword Technique Level 25.

Quickly equipping the flying sword, Su Yu couldn't wait to go to the bank of Chensha River and find a group of grass carp spirits swimming in the river. He stretched out his finger and pointed, and a flash of white light dived into the water. He passed by the black dorsal fin of the grass carp spirit at the bottom of the water, and immediately a long string of damage floated up.
-
360-
366-
369
At the same time, layers of frost condensed, and a light blue layer appeared on the bodies of all the attacked grass carp spirits, and their speed slowed down visibly with the naked eye.

Seeing this, Su Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed it. A white sword light shot up into the sky. He slashed down with the flying dragon city style, followed by a vast blue wave. A series of damage floated up, and the nearly three-meter-long carp monster was cut in half with a huge gap, and its belly was turned up directly.

A level 20 monster only has about 600 HP, so it can't withstand such a violent outburst.

It is worth mentioning that monsters have different levels, while players do not have levels, but the level of basic Qi Refining Mentality is equivalent to the level of wild monsters.

He is now at the twentieth level of the Purple Yuan Qi Refining Technique, which corresponds to a twenty-level monster.

When the Qi Refining Technique is upgraded to the 100th level, which is equivalent to the 100th level of wild monsters, the level of the technique cannot be further upgraded at this time. One must survive the first great heavenly tribulation, build the foundation of Taoism, and be promoted to a casual immortal before continuing to upgrade.

Therefore, the grade of the Qi Refining Method directly determines the strength of the magic power and the limit of strength.

Without a pause, Bingpo circled around Su Yu and dived back into the water. As he urged the flying sword to circle around, he circled all the remaining seven fish spirits in one breath.

The sword energy is like a rainbow, the sword moves are like a dragon, cutting back and forth, ripping open the belly.

The flying sword's speed, several times faster than before, completely covered up the flaws in his swordsmanship, and he could easily intercept and kill the monster before it could attack his body.

As long as the attack is high enough and the speed is fast enough, the defect is not a defect.

This kind of almost instant kill is very satisfying, and the key is that the mana consumption is low. Two moves can kill the enemy instantly, and at most three moves can kill a small group. The total mana consumption is only 20 to 30 points, and the endurance is much stronger than before.

Overall, efficiency has increased by at least 50% compared to before.

Originally, the maximum amount of killing experience accumulated in a day was about 500,000, but now it can be accumulated to about 750,000.

"Su Yu, gather at the South Gate at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Meet me then."

Su Yu, who was obsessed with leveling and sword training, received a message from Fu Ping, the guild's personnel manager. He then remembered the guild activities he had signed up for before and immediately replied:

"I will be there on time."

"Well, I'll send you the information about this event, take a look."

"Thank you, Director."

Fu Ping sent an attachment. Su Yu opened it and looked at it, with a hint of surprise on his face.

According to the information, this guild activity was jointly hosted by the guild's first elite group and the third elite group. The guild received a guild mission from the Yuanjiang Water God, which was to eliminate a demon village that refused to obey the Yuanjiang Water God in the poisonous fog swamp 6600 kilometers east of Qianyu City.

The poisonous fog swamp is located in the Taihu Mountains, covering an area of ​​more than 100,000 square kilometers. It has complex terrain and is shrouded in a layer of poisonous fog all year round.

There is a small river in the swamp that connects to the Yuan River, which is also one of the tributaries of the Yuan River. However, it is not under the jurisdiction of the water god of the Yuan River, but is ruled by a demon leader named Poison Dragon Village.

According to the information, there is a poisonous dragon with a level of 172 and a horror template in the monster village, and three big monsters with a level of more than 150 and a horror template, namely a black dragon loach, a poisonous clam, and a black water poisonous python.

In addition, there are more than a dozen demon generals above level 100, more than a hundred small and medium-sized leaders, and more than 100,000 demon soldiers over level 40.

In addition, as the leader of the demon lords, he can summon all the monsters in the poisonous fog swamp to help in the battle at critical moments.

In fact, judging from the strength alone, it is absolutely impossible for them to be the opponent of the Yuan River Water God. As one of the three major water systems of Blue Mountain Island, the Yuan River Water God is a mythical super BOSS with a level of up to 300. There are many generals of more than 200 levels under his command. Any one of them can lead a million navy to destroy the Black Dragon Demon Village.

The reason why no action has been taken is mainly because the poisonous fog swamp is located in the Taihu Mountains, and there are mountain gods in the Taihu Mountains.

The most important thing is that the Taihu Mountain God and the Yuan River Water God are at odds. Without the permission of the Taihu Mountain God, the power and navy of the Yuan River Water God cannot enter at all.

So there was this guild mission, which was to use the guild to eliminate the poisonous dragons lurking in the poisonous fog swamp.

The guild also has the reputation of Taihu Mountain God and Yuanjiang Water God. Their actions will not be intercepted, but they will lose a lot of reputation with Taihu Mountain God.

But it’s not a big problem, you can just brush it back after it falls off.

"This looks like it's going to be a big fight."

It is not easy to attack a demon village.

Su Yu shook his head and decided not to show off during the guild activities and to be careful so as not to be targeted by the BOSS.

Nothing happened that night. When I woke up early the next morning, I saw that the residential area was brightly lit. A large number of guild members got up early and gathered at the South City Gate.

More than ten minutes later, Su Yu arrived in the south of the city. Looking at the rooftops, the sky, and the dense crowds on the city walls, he sent a message to Fu Ping:
"Instructor Fu, I'm already in the south of the city."

"You should come directly to the Qianyu 304 giant wooden ship to gather."

"almost there."

The ship is easy to recognize. The huge ship, which is over a thousand meters long, has a huge number written on its side, and can be seen from a distance.

No. 304, the first 3 represents the Elite Three Regiments, and the last 4 is the serial number.

Su Yu flew towards the giant wooden divine ship on a paper crane and stopped outside the side of the ship for a while. Fu Ping flew over and waved, leading him through the ship's barrier and into it.
