Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

He has entered a state of flow.

You score points as long as you hit the dummy target.

Helen moved first, crushing the earth and crushing everything in her path.

In Ryan's eyes, the ugly fake shot was aimed at him.

The air exploded with sonic booms, and the vortex slash instantly drew out ten swords. The complex, terrifying, and fast sword moves were visualized by Ryan as ten rapidly moving target mocks.

All he had to do was hit those dummy targets, just like he did in practice.

"Clang, clang, clang."

The ten shots were crisp and clean. Ryan, who had entered a state of flow, was fearless and took the general's target from among the thousands of soldiers!

[The True Lu Ming Sword Technique (0.61, 0.62...)]

Helen deflected all of Helen's attacks, her body became slightly unsteady, and her magic power faltered. Ryan seized this moment, taking a step forward, the branch in his hand turning into a series of afterimages.

The entire audience couldn't help but stand up and gasp, because the move Ryan used at that moment was also Lu Ming's sword technique, 'Vortex Slash'.

If the magic can't be replenished in time, then dodge... Helen's mind raced, and she prepared to sidestep.

No, although it's a vortex slash, it's completely different.

Lu Mingjian's Vortex Slash emphasizes that each strike is faster than the last, like a rapidly surging vortex that engulfs the enemy in the blink of an eye. Ryan's Vortex Slash, however, is not a vortex, but an undercurrent.

Those were whirlpools lurking on the surface of the sea.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

Helen dodged the first swift blade and rolled to avoid the second, but the second blade was a beat too slow and landed in front of her. The third blade was also swift, and the speed of each strike was different, with frequent and unpredictable changes, making it impossible to predict or hit.

It is completely contrary to human first instinct.

Like an undercurrent beneath the surface of the sea, its waves cannot be discerned from the surface; all the sword moves are hidden in the heart!

A hundred martial arts skills, this is the sword technique for random inspection!

"You bastard...you can't, you can't do this!"

Faced with Ryan's probing swordsmanship, Miss Helen could no longer defend herself. She was panting heavily, her cheeks flushed from the intense exercise, and her original imposing aura vanished as she frantically tried to defend against the vortex slashes.

What kind of mess has Lu Ming's swordsmanship been made of?!

As the final strike of the vortex slash landed, Helen felt a slight chill in her throat.

Looking down, I saw the dark green olive branch, its leaves swaying in the wind, gently touching my throat.

“I won,” Ryan said. “Ryan is better than Helen.”

There was a brief moment of silence, then a mountain of cheers erupted as everyone shouted, "Ryan is better than Helen!"

【The True Lu Ming Sword Technique (0.7)】

It has become inseparable from Lord Ryan's methods.

As the golden sword slipped from Helen's hand, she knew that from that moment on, she would be impotent for the rest of her life.

The cancellation of Chapter 12 is the real reason for becoming king.

['Lane Lumin (lv9, Light Mage lv8, Paladin lv1)' has defeated 'Helen Ashur (lv25 Chaste Paladin)']

These thoughts flashed through Ryan's mind as the longsword slipped from Helen's hand and she became completely impotent.

Perfect Parry: 21 times

[Perfect roll: 10 times]

[Combo: 10 times]

[Special Rating B: The warrior does not die unarmed; he defeats enemies with tree branches.]

[Special Rating A: Warriors do not die without armor, and can defeat enemies without armor.]

[Special Rating A+: Defeat the enemy without taking any damage]

Overall rating: A+

This is the achievement system from the original game. It scores each boss battle and unlocks corresponding achievement rewards, a feature found in every action game.

[Reward received: Blessing x1]

In simple terms, a blessing is experience points, which are universal in the world of Eden. Each time you defeat an enemy, the pleased deity will bestow a corresponding blessing, which you can use to level up.

A complete blessing can raise a level within a ring and increase an attribute by one point.

This is a very precious thing; Ryan could not have received the full blessing without achieving an A+ rating.

Ryan is currently level 9, on the verge of the first ring, and can use Blessing to level up and advance to the second ring.

The Second Ring Road can be considered a watershed moment.

Once a regular player reaches the second ring rank, they need two blessings to advance one level.

However, as a cursed boss, Ryan's experience bar is longer than that of ordinary players.

After entering the second ring, each level up requires an additional blessing. The next level up will require two blessings, and the time after that will require three.

【First Ring Road (lv9)】

[Light Mage, Level 1 (lv8)]

[Paladin Ring 1 (lv1, awaiting oath)]

He has two professions that need to be upgraded, and as the future Lu Ming Sword Saint, Ryan chose the Light Mage.

Choosing Master Guangming is highly efficient.

[Ring 1 (lv9) → Ring 2 (lv10)]

[Light Mage, Level 1 (lv8) → Level 1 (lv9)]

[Magic Power 8 → 9]

Since he was promoted to a spellcasting class, he chose to allocate his stat points to magic power.

In the original work, after Ryan Lumin awakened his bloodline, he directly used the 'Divine Wine' to reset his stats, abandoning all the levels of the Light Mage and completely transforming into a pure Paladin.

But Ryan will not abandon the Light Mage.

Because of the latter's spell list, combined with the Paladin's warrior list, Ryan can develop many overpowered builds.

For example, the Light Mage spell "Tracer Bullet" is an auxiliary spell that releases a stray bullet for illumination, dispelling all darkness, but it does no damage.

Then follow up with the second-ring combat skill, [Radiant Slash], which gathers the surrounding light into the sword and slashes at the enemy, with a special attack against undead enemies.

Both skills are unremarkable; taken individually, they deal very little damage and are neither outstanding.

However, when combined in a game, it becomes incredibly powerful—because it doesn't attack game characters, but rather transcends dimensional limitations to attack from a narrative perspective.

Simply put, it directly attacks the player's main body.

The Radiant Slash absorbs the surrounding light and gathers it into the sword, so it can naturally absorb the light from the tracer bullets as well.

The tracer bullets are already extremely bright, and when combined in the Radiant Slash, the brightness is increased to an extreme, blinding the players.

The most fatal thing is:

Players must be fully focused on the enemy's attacks and cannot relax for a moment if they want to parry, defend, or roll. But at the same time, these attacks are filled with blinding tracer bullets!

To avoid being hit by the Radiant Slash, one must sacrifice their eyes and be prepared to forever stare directly at tracer bullets.

To protect his health, he could only look away and be slashed by the Radiant Slash.

This is the purest form of light pollution, an open and unsolvable scheme.

If you take a hit in a row, the opposing player's eyes will sting and they won't be able to see the actions clearly; if you take two hits in a row, the opposing player's vision will become blurred, and some may even experience double vision.

In a match from a past life, in just ten minutes, Ryan made his opponent take twenty hits in a row. His opponent was also a tough guy, taking hits and defending the whole time.

In the end, Ryan appeared as three people to the opposing team. Fighting three against one, he finally couldn't withstand their attacks and was defeated.

My roommate next to me thought it was dawn.

From then on, Ryan became famous overnight, and he named this build "Tears of Radiance".

To be able to influence evil enemies with the purest and most dazzling radiance, bringing them to tears of emotion, perfectly embodies the true essence of the 'Paladin' class—as for how the tears are shed, let's not worry about that for now.

However, given Ryan's Paladin level, [Radiant Slash] is still too far off, so [Tears of Radiance] is out of the question and should be considered as an alternative.

For every two levels gained in any profession, you will gain several skills, from which you can choose one.

Neither the Paladin nor the Light Mage has Ryan reached the threshold to unlock them, but he does have a boss-exclusive spell list.

[Blessings and Curses of Light and Shadow: Every five levels, you can choose one blessing and one curse, or choose to forgo both.]

[Blessing of Magic: Choose one from the following: Fourth Ring [Arrow of Light], Fifth Ring [Group Heal], or Fifth Ring [Light Shield]].

Blessings come in many forms; they can be relics, protection, or even magic.

This is Lu Ming, the Sword Saint's exclusive spell chart.

Both the Arrow of Light and the Group Healing spell require level 40 or higher to unlock, while Ryan unlocked them at level 10.

The first two are very practical, but the last one is unremarkable. Although it consumes little magic power, it is not cost-effective and only generates a thin layer of transparent light shield.

[Light Shield: Costs 1 point of mana, can be used under any circumstances, cannot defend against physical attacks, but can defend against a small amount of dark attacks, lasts for one second.]

Its only advantage is that it consumes less mana.

It might be somewhat useful in the early stages, but this magic is only unlocked in the mid-to-late game. By the time everyone has reached the fourth ring or higher, it becomes utterly useless in the face of a bunch of stronger defensive magic.

The assessment is that the planner has run out of ideas.

However, the true effects were only discovered by players in the later stages of the game.

Because of this phrase, it can be used in any situation.

This is what is called 'cancellation'.

Any powerful combat technique, such as Lu Ming's sword technique's 'Vortex Slash', will have a relatively long recovery time after a full combo, which allows the opponent to attack during this recovery period.

However, if you use [Light Shield] immediately during the recovery animation, you can cancel that recovery animation.

Seamlessly transition to the next combat technique!

Building upon this, you can combine it with the Paladin's first-level combat skill, [Radiant Dagger]: Consumes 1 point of mana to generate a radiant dagger, which is then swung forward rapidly, dealing minor damage.

The final piece of the puzzle to godhood was now complete.

By canceling the aftercast animation of a combat skill with a light shield, and then canceling the aftercast animation of a light shield with a combat skill, and repeating this process, a perfect perpetual motion machine is formed.

Ryan smiled brightly. As a good boy and a devout paladin, he chose [Light Shield] without hesitation.

No one can refuse the power to 'cancel' the gods.

The sooner you use it, the better. If you refuse this time, you'll have to wait until level 30 or later.

It's a semi-perpetual motion machine now. Once the Paladin reaches level four and unlocks the [Radiant Dagger], it will be a fully perpetual motion machine.

Cancellation is the only reason for becoming king.

Ryan has had enough of all that red tape!

Chapter 13 Helen: It turns out I was their training stimulant.

The Blessing and Curse of Light and Shadow

Once Ryan accepts the blessing, he must choose a curse.

In the original timeline, he chose the 'Blessing of Swordsmanship,' which is how the curse of muscle weakness came about. From then on, Ryan never dared to choose to bestow blessings again, and he gave up every time.

Of course, curses can be dispelled, though the difficulty varies.

For example, Ryan's Muscle Weakness can be dispelled as long as all attributes are above 10.

[The Curse of Depleted Essence and Blood: Your strength and stamina decrease by one]

[Dispersal Condition: Ten Years of Self-Discipline]

[The curse of ignorance and delusion: Your words will have a certain chance of being misinterpreted]

[Dispelling Condition: Dispel the curse of Blighttown]
