Chapter 59 New Secret Technique (Please continue reading)

Richard's soul quickly left his body, and the dream space he arrived in this time was a lush jungle. He was possessing a blurry figure and was confronting several incredibly fast Nightblade Leopards!

Richard tried it out, and found that without using auxiliary sorcery and mental guidance, his hit rate for casting Weakness was only about 50%, because the Nightsaber Panther's movement speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see its afterimage.

Its black and gray spotted fur provides natural camouflage in the jungle, further increasing the difficulty for Richard's magic to hit its mark.

If Richard uses a mental guidance technique in conjunction with the Weakness spell, the Weakness spell can achieve a hit rate of over 95%.

The few times I missed were because the trees were blocking my view.

With the aid of the Mind Guidance spell, as soon as the Nightblade Leopard peeks out, it will be hit by Richard's Weakness spell, making its limbs weak and greatly reducing its attack power.

This allowed Richard to go from being able to dodge the attack of a single Nightsaber to now being able to easily deal with an attack from three Nightsabers.

With the support of a wealth of inspiration, Richard, who possessed limitless spiritual power in the dream space, began to use the Slow spell in addition to the Weakening spell.

Now, whenever Nightsaber Panther shows its face, it will be hit by Slow and Weakness spells in succession.

Meanwhile, the Nightblade Panther, which was simultaneously affected by the Slow and Weakness spells, experienced a change in movement and attack speed, much like a Usain Bolt turning into an eighty-year-old woman.

Now, even surrounded by ten Nightsaber Leopards, Richard can still move with ease among the pack, patting one leopard's head and touching its whiskers.

After toying with the Nightblade for a while, Richard had a sudden inspiration. In his dream, he conjured up the Shadow Hunter's giant bow and was able to guide the high-speed arrows fired at the Nightblade with his increasingly skilled mental guidance technique.

Although it cannot drastically change the direction of the arrow, but only slightly alters the attack direction, it still achieves the effect of catching the enemy off guard.

For example, Richard originally aimed his arrow at the enemy's head, but because the enemy noticed and leaned back to dodge, Richard was able to immediately apply mental guidance to the arrow, causing it to suddenly drop several centimeters and hit the enemy's throat directly.

If this move is never used normally, but is used at a crucial moment, it is extremely difficult to defend against and is incredibly insidious!

After practicing hundreds of times, time in the dream almost flies by!

When Richard came to his senses again, two lines of text appeared before his eyes.

[Ding! Host has been inspired and has mastered the secret technique: Guided Arrow]

[Guiding Arrow: Guides a single arrow with mental energy, slightly altering its direction and force. Consumes a small amount of mental energy.]

Richard was overjoyed. Based on his master-level archery skills and mental guidance techniques, and with a burst of inspiration, he created a killer move!

As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear, but hard to defend against an arrow in the dark. This guiding arrow, which can slightly change the direction and force of the arrow, can be as powerful as Shadow Grip if used well.

Moreover, according to Richard's calculations, the mental energy consumed is roughly between 0.1 and 0.3 standard units, which can be said to be very cost-effective.

Richard glanced at the witchcraft section:

Slow Spell (Mastery 12%)

Weakness Spell (Proficiency 45%)

Spiritual guidance techniques (Mastery 3%)

Perhaps because mental guidance is used most frequently in dreams, requiring the use of both weakness and slowing spells as well as archery skills, it allowed me to skip directly from the beginner level and skip the rudimentary and proficient levels to the master level!

The slowing effect also improved by three percentage points.

Richard roughly calculated that the mental energy consumed by mastering a certain level of mental guidance technique was between 0.5 and 1 standard unit.

Specifically, the amount of mental energy required will vary greatly depending on factors such as the mental energy consumed by the guided sorcery, the attack range, and the degree of change.

In conclusion, Richard was very satisfied with the results of this upgrade!

I slept soundly through the night without any dreams.

The next morning, when Richard arrived at the dueling arena, he found that the original ten small arenas had been dismantled, leaving only one huge arena in the center of the arena.

Clearly, the school of thought places much greater emphasis on the official ranking matches.

Richard's arrival today also attracted a lot of attention, because the giant bow on his back was very eye-catching, almost as tall as a person, and it looked incredibly powerful!

That's right! This is the first time Richard has taken out the Shadow Hunter's Greatbow.

Previously, due to his insufficient strength, he had always been unable to unleash the true power of this weapon, so he had kept it hidden away ever since it was returned by the School's Security Department.

However, with Richard's physical abilities reaching the knight level recently, he was finally able to draw the giant bow to its full extent and unleash its true power.

Therefore, he specially prepared two different kinds of arrows today.

One type is pure steel arrows, which are the original accessories for the Greatbow. He ordered them from a craftsman in the School Trading Area, modeled after the steel arrows used by the Shadow Hunters.

The arrow, once fully charged, is released with immense force and unparalleled penetrating power!

Even if the opponent is a knight in heavy armor, if the weak parts of his armor, such as his joints, are hit by a steel arrow, there is a high probability that it will be pierced through!

Another type is the small black-feathered arrow, which was specially prepared for the convenience of multiple shots.

It can be used to deal with multiple targets or to restrict the movement of a single enemy for rapid suppressive fire.

When Richard arrived at the scene, he was immediately taken aback by the huge crowd. He hadn't expected that a mere ranking competition for first-level wizard apprentices would attract so many people to watch.

The overall layout and design of the dueling arena are similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum in Richard's previous life, perhaps a little smaller, but basically the same.

The surrounding stands were filled with senior first-level wizard apprentices watching the match, and there were also quite a few second-level wizard apprentices.

Richard even discovered that the rarely seen Level 3 wizard apprentices had also appeared one after another. Although their numbers were not large, they were estimated to number in the dozens.

Hey! Richard spotted the old man who used to be the librarian, the senior level three wizard apprentice, who had also come to the stands to watch the game.

At this time, the phenomenon of birds of a feather flocking together is particularly evident.

Those gathered in groups are usually senior students, those chatting in groups of three or five are likely second-level wizard apprentices, while third-level wizard apprentices usually watch the battle alone, occasionally in groups of two or three.

The lively scene also caused a great deal of chatter among the freshmen lining up in the field.

"There are so many people! There are quite a few level three wizard apprentices who are rarely seen!" a boy said after looking around the stands.

"Yes, I heard that most of the level three wizard apprentices are out doing missions and rarely return to the school. It's quite rare to see dozens of them appear this time!" A boy next to him nodded in agreement.

"Richard! Over here!" A blonde senior, Mei Luo, was waving at him from the front row of the stands in the distance, her face beaming with a warm smile. Richard immediately smiled and waved back.

Next to her was Karina with silver hair, but Hans was not seen beside them.
