This isn't a souls-like game at all.

He couldn't say that he would learn the player's characteristics right away. Not to mention whether Baal would understand it or not, it would be no fun if he treated him as a fool.

Bal was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head, "My lord, I can't believe it..."

"Then let me demonstrate it." Ye Yiyi smiled and stood up.

Soon, the two returned to the ground and walked out of the dilapidated church.

"Please watch carefully!"

Ye Yiyi nodded to the taciturn Bal, then took out the Eagle Wing Knight's straight sword and raised it high into the sky.

Combat skill: Wind Wing Protection activated!

The next moment, translucent, plump wings spread out behind Ye Yiyi!

The huge wings flapped, causing a strong wind to blow, which turned into a whirlwind and wrapped around Ye Yiyi's body.

Not far away, Baal was stunned and muttered to himself, "It's Wind Wing Protection, the Eagle Wing Knight's signature skill."

"Don't blink, there's more!"

Ye Yiyi retracted his straight sword and took out the Eagle Wing Knight's spear.

Combat skill: Eagle Wing surprise attack is activated!

He jumped high, holding up his spear!

The huge wings took shape again, blowing up a strong wind and carrying him forward.

"It's Eagle Wing Surprise Attack...a high-level combat technique of the Eagle Wing Knights."

Bal felt dizzy and dazed.

If the Eagle Wing Knights had not been destroyed long ago, he would even have mistaken Michaela for a master of the Eagle Wing Knights who had survived by chance.

"Is he really a genius?" Bal couldn't help but doubt.

"How's that? I just learned a shield fighting technique. Do you want me to show you how to use it?"

Ye Yiyi walked forward wrapped in Fengxuan and took out the Eagle Wing Knight Shield.

Looking at the metal shield covered with rust but with the pattern of an eagle with spread wings vaguely visible, Bal waved his hands repeatedly.

"I believe it, I believe it! Master Michaela! Please put away your magical powers!"

"Uh……"

I don’t know if it’s because the translation of the alien language is too faithful, fluent and elegant, but Ye Yiyi always feels that Bal’s words sound a bit like those of a local old man.

"In that case, can you teach me combat techniques?"

Seeing Ye Yiyi make the weapon disappear out of thin air, Bal swallowed silently and believed in Ye Yiyi's identity as a magician.

At the same time, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

Maybe Lord Michaela can really kill gods!

"I understand." Bal nodded without hesitation. "In that case, let me teach you combat skills."

As soon as he said he would learn, before it got dark, Bal took Ye Yiyi to the village's martial arts field - an ordinary open space.

In the open space, the few children who Ye Yiyi had seen eavesdropping in the corner were surrounding Joshua, who was getting spanked, and listening to him bragging.

"You don't know! That black goat has two heads, which are taller than the church in our village! When it runs, the ground shakes!" Joshua said with a beaming expression, holding the wooden sword!

"Are there really goats with two heads?" one child wondered.

"A goat taller than a church?!" one child was shocked.

"Then how did you survive, Joshua? Wouldn't the goat, who is so tall, eat you as a snack in one bite?" Another child was very curious.

"That's of course because...ah, Master!" Joshua glanced and subconsciously felt a pain in his butt.

The children were startled and immediately dispersed, hiding in the dilapidated houses nearby and quietly looking over here.

"So many children?" Ye Yiyi glanced around, a little surprised.

There were seven or eight children present just now, both boys and girls, including Joshua, who was rescued from the forest earlier.

"Hey……"

Bal sighed slightly and looked at the children, with sadness, worry and relief in his eyes.

"They are orphans I found in various villages. The blood-thirsty disease has been ravaging the Principality since long ago. Each of them represents a village that has perished due to the blood-thirsty disease."

“…” Ye Yiyi was silent.

It turns out that the current situation in Linhe Village is not an isolated case.

"let us start."

Ye Yiyi waved his hand and said, "I'm in a hurry."

Bal was stunned for a moment, seemed to understand something, and then showed an honest smile.

"it is good!"

Chapter 41 [Storm Pace] and the Nameless Magician's Tower

Similar to the situation in the game, if you want to learn combat skills from a combat skills teacher, you need to consume soul echoes.

This made Ye Yiyi very embarrassed because the soul resonance in him was a little low.

Previously, when he was in the Misty Forest, he returned to the Cursed Hall through the Holy Monument and was promoted to a higher level with the Saint.

The original soul echo was 2562, minus the 2300 required for upgrading, only 262 points remain.

Although the soul echoes required to learn combat skills in the early stages are not many, but with only 262 points, how many can one learn?

In order to prevent his boasting from getting out of hand, Ye Yiyi ran to a deserted place on the pretext of going to the toilet and crushed the [Source of the Curse] he was carrying.

[Source of the Curse]

Item Description: After the great war, after a long time, the faint remnants of the cursed power finally condensed into beads.

After use, you can obtain a small amount of soul echo.

The echo of the soul is the residue left after the death of life. Only with the help of the Saint can the residue become the power of the Seeker of Name.

Ye Yiyi only has two sources of curse, namely the source of curse with 50 soul echoes (1) and the source of curse with 200 soul echoes (3).

This brings the total number of Soul Echoes to 512.

Although it’s not much, I can learn the most important combat skill.

As a former master of the Eagle Beak Knights, Baal has learned and mastered many practical combat skills.

The first thing Ye Yiyi learned was the displacement effect [Storm Step].

Storm Pace

Skill cost: 5

A combat technique that utilizes the power of the strong wind to move forward.

Moves quickly, but not over long distances.

Use it flexibly in battle to quickly increase or decrease the distance.

Consumes concentration to use it, and can use the strong wind to speed up the attack speed of the next attack.

After spending 400 points of soul echo to learn this move, Ye Yiyi tried to use the combat skill in the training ground.

Amid the whispers of the little kids, Ye Yiyi took a step and a strong wind blew from behind him.

The wind was not strong, but it was enough to push the body.

Ye Yiyi took the second step and the next moment he appeared three meters away with a strong wind.

He subconsciously swung the wooden sword for training in his hand, and the sword tip flashed and cut through the air, making a whistling sound.

"So fast!" Ye Yiyi was surprised and a little delighted.

This move is much more useful than rolling and diving. Not only is the displacement distance far enough and there is no afterswing, but it also has the effect of increasing attack speed.

If he knew this trick when dealing with the black goat, the fight would be much easier.

"I wonder if this increased attack speed will have any effect on magic."

Ye Yiyi thought for a while, then put down the wooden arrow, took out the living amber staff, and performed Storm Step again.

A strong wind blew in his face, and he stepped back, floating three meters away.

At the same time, he activated the spell slot, and white light emerged from the living amber. A magic arrow quickly took shape and then shot out, hitting the scarecrow not far away.

"It actually works on spells too!!" Ye Yiyi was even more surprised.

He clearly noticed that after casting Storm Step, the casting time of Magic Arrow became shorter.

"This is simply a kite-style divine skill!!"

Not to mention Ye Yiyi's delight, Bal, who witnessed Ye Yiyi learning the Storm Steps in two minutes, was now confused.

Is this normal?

Just by watching me demonstrate it once, you learned the fighting skills?

Bal looked up at the sky and recalled the scene many years ago in the Knights' Training Grounds in the Royal Capital when the Knight Master taught him combat skills.

Can’t learn? Then keep practicing!

Are your feet bleeding from exercise? Just apply some ointment and keep on training!

Can't grasp it no matter how much you practice? Then put in the hard work, year after year!

When he first learned this fighting skill, it took him three full months before he could barely summon a strong wind and move a distance of one meter.

But it’s only one meter, you can get there if you take a slightly bigger step.

Even now, forty years later, he could only move two and a half meters with his full strength.

And the Lady Michaela in front of me...

Looking at the children hiding in the corner and praising Ye Yiyi in surprise, Bal took a deep breath and then exhaled longly.

"These brats have no idea what a miracle they are witnessing."

Bal walked forward and greeted Ye Yiyi, who looked satisfied. He clapped his hands loudly and smiled at the same time.

"Master Michaela, you are indeed a natural born martial arts genius!"

This was Bal's heartfelt praise. Apart from that, he could not think of any other words to describe this talent.

"No, no, it's still you who taught me well!"

Ye Yiyi is not good at being modest, but he also knows that if you pretend to be too cool, you will get beaten up.

"I'm not worthy of the title of teacher." Bal's face changed drastically and he refused repeatedly.

"Hehe~"

Ye Yiyi smiled slightly, knowing that the combat skills teacher was an honest man, so he simply stopped emphasizing his identity as a teacher.

There were 112 soul echoes left, and Ye Yiyi spent 100 to learn a common [Heavy Kick] move.

There's no other way. This is the only combat skill left among the hundred-level ones.

【Heavy Kick】

Skill cost: 8

A fighting technique in which the foot is raised sharply and kicked forward.

Very effective against enemies defending against the Dream Guard.

It consumes concentration points to quickly break through defenses and make the enemy lose balance.

You can use a critical strike to finish off an off-balanced enemy.

Simple and practical combat skills.

Simply put, this heavy kick is a kick with the feet, which is used against defensive enemies.

If Ye Yiyi had known this trick when dealing with the Eagle Wing Knight Master, he would have been able to kick through his defense with one kick and execute him.

“It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but it’s very practical.”
