Chapter 120 Beast King Tutorial! Momentum!

The old beast king drew his greatsword, and a surging aura erupted instantly, like a terrifying hurricane sweeping across the heavens and earth, engulfing the entire world.

Although he was smaller than Ye Mingqiu, at this moment he seemed to be the master of the world, looking down on everything from above, revealing the aura of a level 5 overlord.

"Whoo~"

Ye Mingqiu felt the pressure. He gripped the blood spear tightly, and the blood crystal patterns spread upwards along his hand, almost completely covering his forearm, forming a protective arm guard that came with the blood spear and emitted a blood-red light.

The air was stagnant and heavy, as if even the wind was holding its breath in anticipation.

The old beast king casually tapped the ground with the tip of his sword, pressing a tiny crack into the fissured rock. His gaze, calm yet sharp, like polished bronze, pierced through the dust and landed on the young yet massive figure opposite him.

"Next, I will control my strength and speed to a level similar to yours, and show you what real combat skills are," the old beast king said proudly.

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiu answered.

He felt like laughing. With the talent [Unparalleled Courage], the professional skills [Crushing Violence], and [Basic Strength], he could easily unleash an attack power far exceeding his own strength attribute, ultimately doubling his strength rating.

Faced with such a terrifying boost, even a level 5 overlord like the old Beast King would have to suffer a setback!
"Come!"

The old beast king spoke in a calm voice.

He raised the greatsword slowly, but it seemed to contain immense power. It was something Ye Mingqiu had never seen before, something that hadn't been taught in school, and something Tang Ruobing hadn't mentioned to him. Clearly, it was something beyond his comprehension.

However, there was no surprise or shock in Ye Mingqiu's eyes, only an indescribable excitement, a kind of excitement and ecstasy as if he had discovered a new continent. He felt the blood in his whole body boiling.

What kind of power is that!
I really want to learn this and come see for myself!
"what!!"

Ye Mingqiu let out a battle roar, the power of [War Roar] contained in the sound waves, the magnificent sound waves made the air buzz.

In order to deeply feel this power and learn this new power, he took a step without hesitation. His huge beast feet shook the earth, and the blood spear transformed into a scarlet lightning bolt that tore through the air, slashing towards the old beast king with a piercing shriek.

This strike, imbued with Ye Mingqiu's full power, was exceptionally powerful in both speed and force, even drawing admiration from the assembled peak-level orc kings watching the battle.

"when!!"

The giant sword met the blood spear head-on, unleashing a terrifying shockwave. The old beast king, wielding the sword, flashed a sharp light in his eyes, and then pressed down on the giant sword with unstoppable force, forcing Ye Mingqiu back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Ye Mingqiu took three steps back, leaving three terrifying giant footprints on the ground, shattering the earth. He looked at the blood spear in his hand in shock, then at the greatsword in the Beast King's hand, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

What a powerful force!
He used the same amount of power as me, yet he was able to easily force me back, and it seemed like he was handling it with ease. Is this what a level 5 overlord is like?

"Not bad, you seem to have a natural talent for controlling power, but your mastery of skills is still too poor, and there is considerable room for improvement," the old beast king commented.

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu was not surprised by this. After all, the old beast king was a level 5 overlord. How could a level 5 overlord not accumulate the power of other domains? He was not a level 1 or level 2 overlord.

but
This is the first time I've been criticized for lacking skill in a direct confrontation.

It should be noted that Ye Mingqiu's specialty level increases very quickly. Each time he levels up, he can push his specialty to its limit shortly afterward. Now, his long weapon specialty level has reached level 4, which is the limit in the eyes of a normal psionicist.

However, compared to the skills of a level 5 overlord, it still seems inadequate.

"Come again!"

Ye Mingqiu's eyes were bright and alert. He was very interested in the old beast king's power and wanted to experience it in battle and learn that unique way of controlling power.

That's an incredibly impressive combat technique!
"Then come on!"

The old beast king answered with a smile.

The two resumed their battle, the blood spear and the greatsword clashing and impacting each other. The old beast king's smile grew even wider, the greatsword as light as a feather in his hands, each swing containing a magical power.

With cleaving, parrying, drawing, and flicking, the old beast king wove an invisible net with the simplest sword moves, completely enveloping Ye Mingqiu with his sword aura, like a chain binding a ferocious beast.

The sword wind howled, and each of the old beast king's strikes left a crimson mark on Ye Mingqiu's body. He perfectly controlled the amount of power, just enough to make the opponent feel pain, but not enough to cause too much damage.

Then, something astonishing happened to the old beast king: he discovered that the red mark on Ye Mingqiu's body was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, vanishing completely in a very short time, as if he had never been harmed at all.

'Is this his talent?'
The old beast king laughed and increased his intensity. He had long suspected that Ye Mingqiu might have some hidden abilities. After all, how could the beast king of the beast race be a weakling with a strength and physique of only sixty or seventy? That was simply impossible.

Even if the opponent hasn't fully grown yet, it's impossible that they only have this much power.

"when!"

Another clash of weapons ensued. The blood spear deflected the greatsword in an instant, and the giant orc's gaze sharpened. He swung his weapon again with incredible speed, attempting to seize the opportunity to attack, and also left a red mark on the old beast king.

But
The old beast king laughed. He released the giant sword and then threw a punch, hitting Ye Mingqiu hard in the chest. The punch made Ye Mingqiu's huge eyes widen, and he trembled and gagged.

“I understand your eagerness, but battle is not child’s play. We can’t just focus on the opponent’s weapons. We need to think about what other moves the opponent might use besides weapons. The strong of other races are not like our beastmen. They will use unexpected skills in battle and then kill our people.”

The old beast king released his grip and looked down at Ye Mingqiu, who had been struck in a vital spot, and said...

Next, the Beast God Continent will not be facing its own internal orcs, but powerful beings from outside the continent. Therefore, he believes it is very necessary to teach the new Beast King how to fight against foreign invaders.

He continued, “Many years ago, I met a human overlord who was dressed in a white robe and held a wooden staff. He met me in a narrow boardwalk.”

"I thought he would use magic, but he rushed towards me at top speed and swung his sword at me. That sword almost shattered my eye. After defeating him, I realized that the guy was not a mage at all, but a swordsman disguised as a mage."

Ye Mingqiu stood up again, his gaze extremely calm. Without uttering a word, he directly unleashed his blood spear at the Beast King.

The Beast King casually blocked it.

then
"when!!"

A terrifying, crisp sound rang out, and the old beast king immediately felt an irresistible force emanating from the greatsword. In an instant, his expression changed drastically.

What a joke!
This is the ultimate fighting technique that I spent decades researching! You've learned it in just a few moves?

"how did you do it?"

The old beast king asked incredulously.

"I just felt that this was the way to cut it," Ye Mingqiu answered honestly.

The next moment, the old beast king used his skills to deflect his attack and launched another barrage of attacks, forcing Ye Mingqiu to retreat repeatedly and unable to resist.

He forced the new Beast King back with a single sword strike and said, "Don't use brute force. In battle, feel your momentum when you swing your weapon, utilize that momentum, and integrate it into your attack."

"Power? What is that?"

Ye Mingqiu could understand it, yet he couldn't quite grasp it. He couldn't comprehend this mysterious and profound thing; he only knew to fight and kill based on his senses. He wanted to use the same momentum as before, but he couldn't replicate that attack.

It felt like a sudden inspiration, a feeling that he should do it that way, so he swung his weapon and unleashed a powerful strike.

But this was just a coincidence; it didn't mean he truly understood the meaning of "momentum."

"Don't rush to fight. You just used your momentum; try to savor that feeling," the old beast king said.

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiu sat down, closed his eyes, and savored the feeling of suppressing the old beast king with a spear. The feeling of using momentum was very strange. He didn't know how to describe the feeling. He only knew that when he used his weapon, it was as if a special power was assisting him in the dark.

Ten minutes later, he still had no clue, so he opened the Spirit Realm Friends interface, selected Tang Ruobing, and asked if he could get some outside help.

Divine Lord: Just out of curiosity, what is "shi"?
Shattered Star: ?
Shattered Star: Where did you hear that?

Divine Lord: The old Beast King told me that each of his attacks has that strange bonus, making him so hard to beat. I can't even beat him with his suppressed attributes.

Shattered Star: Huh?

Shattered Star: Are you kidding me? A Beastmaster from a level 4 world can control the power? What level is he?
Divine Lord: Level 5 Overlord.

Shattered Star: That shouldn't be the case.

Tang Ruobing squatted on a seat in the rest area, her brows furrowed as she looked at the information. She felt that she might have underestimated the strength of the Overlord and the Legendary.

Normally, one can only come into contact with the concept of "momentum" at level 10. Only a few level 10 hero-level psionicists can access the realm of momentum. But that old beast king was able to master momentum at level 5, which is simply outrageous!

Can a hegemon really be this excessive?

Is this wrong?
Divine Lord: This thing seems pretty powerful. I accidentally used it once before, and then I couldn't find the feeling anymore. I can't even recall the feeling. Do you know what to do? How do you cultivate this thing?
Shattered Star: This is something that only level 10 psionicists have a chance to master. You are only level 2, so it is normal that you cannot control it now. Cultivating power requires mastering combat skills to the extreme, which means raising a specialty to level 10.

Shattered Star: I really don't understand, how did you manage to use that momentum?

God: Well, it's based on intuition.

Shattered Star: Absurd. The probability you arrive at based on intuition is like guessing the answer to an Olympiad math word problem.

Shattered Star: Regarding momentum, I don't have any cultivation methods below level 10. You can find the same thing with other people. All cultivation of momentum is based on a level 10 specialty. It's impossible to master it before that.

God: Alright.

Ye Mingqiu was a little unhappy about the chat box. Now he probably understood why he always felt something was wrong when he was mastering the momentum. Without a level 10 special skill, mastering the momentum was like trying to solve a physics problem without knowing the formula; he simply couldn't find the answer.

However, if that's the case, it means that the old beast king has likely mastered a level 10 special ability, which is way beyond what's expected.

"How is it? Did you feel anything?"

The old beast king stepped forward and asked with concern.

"No, I can't feel anything. It's like something crucial is missing," Ye Mingqiu replied.

“That’s normal. After all, this is the result of my experience in hundreds of battles and decades of honing my skills. How could you possibly grasp my information in such a short time? That’s how it should be.” The old beast king said with a slow smile.

[Hint: Your long weapon proficiency level has been increased to level 5]

“However, I feel like my skill level has improved a bit more,” Ye Mingqiu replied.

The level 5 master's training is really impressive; he raised my skill level in just a short time. With more practice, he might be able to raise my skill level even higher.

Then, the new battle instructions were given. Although the old beast king was shocked, he did not hold back and told everyone what was going on, including his understanding and control of momentum.

Unfortunately, the old beast king's teaching on momentum has a lot of room for improvement and a very promising future. Even if he tells Ye Mingqiu everything without any concealment, Ye Mingqiu still can't understand anything.

Of course, this might be because his skill level isn't up to level 10, so there are many things he doesn't understand. If he raises his skill level to level 10, he might understand everything.

five hours later

After the one-on-one sparring session with the old beast king ended, Ye Mingqiu felt that he had gained a lot. One-on-one training with a level 5 overlord was indeed very useful. He could feel that his understanding of many techniques was different now.

The reason why the long weapon proficiency level has not increased is not because the benefits are not enough, but because the higher the proficiency level, the more experience and knowledge are needed to advance, and the more difficult it is to improve.

"King of Beasts, I'm very curious, how exactly did you hone your strength to this level? Aren't orcs supposed to get stronger with each battle? You haven't fought in decades, have you?" Ye Mingqiu asked with great curiosity.

"Actually, I often sneak across borders, disguising myself as an ordinary human powerhouse, to challenge other powerful individuals and slay dragons. Over the years, I've killed about twenty or thirty powerhouses of my level, bit by bit," the old beast king said, recalling the past.

"Twenty or thirty?"

"Yes, this is top-secret intelligence, but now that a new war is about to begin, there's no point in hiding it anymore. I hope the other continents will send more powerful overlords. My sword hasn't tasted blood in a long time." The old beast king smiled, his smile filled with confidence and arrogance, a pride unique to kings.

"I hope so."

Ye Mingqiu also smiled, as if he could already see the scene of the beast race's future victory. However, he also had some doubts: had the old beast king really not been discovered by the powerful outsiders?

Let's prepare for the worst!
