Chapter 18: It's Time to Enter a New World!

"Bell!!"

With a crisp crashing sound, the long sword in Fang Zheng's hand spun and flew out, falling to the ground. And he himself lay backwards with this tremendous force, gasping for breath.

"Stand up and continue!"

Hearing Stone's words, Fang Zheng hurriedly rolled up from the ground, and then grabbed the long sword in his hand. The steel long sword was as heavy as a thousand catties in Fang Zheng's hand at the moment, but even so, Fang Zheng still gritted his teeth, staring at the heavily armed knight in front of him, he thought for a moment, and then quickly swung the long sword towards Stone's right side. But this time, Shi Stone didn't even look at it, and with a wave of his hand, Fang Zheng saw the other party's huge two-handed sword coming straight up without any tricks.

And in the face of this two-handed giant sword cut off head-on, Fang Zheng also gritted his teeth and clenched the long sword to meet it.

The two swords were staggered, Fang Zheng tried to clench the hilt of the sword, deflecting the blade, trying to unload the force of the blow, and the long steel sword directly let out a "squeak" wail and twisted to the side. Then there was another "bell", and the next moment, Fangzheng's hand could no longer support the strength of the giant sword, and let go of his fingers, and then the long sword in his hand flew back again. But fortunately, this time Fang Zheng did not fall with it.

"That's all for today."

Stone put away his two-handed giant sword and looked at Fang Zheng with appreciative eyes.

"I have to say, your kid's body is too weak......... But the perseverance is not bad, I've seen some stupid people, they just started training and they complained for a long time, as if I was going to kill them, you kid is good, you haven't screamed until now, there is a future! ”

"Huh......... Huh......... Thank......... Thank you .........."

Hearing Stone's appreciation, Fang Zheng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and replied breathlessly. At this moment he felt that he could barely stand on his feet, his hands were sore, and he looked as tired as if he had been fished out of a pond.

On the second day after becoming a student of Stone, Fang Zheng understood what the old bishop's sympathetic eyes meant. In fact, he was directly arrested by Shi Dong before dawn, and then began to run laps and practice swordsmanship——— which was completely different from what Fang Zheng imagined, Shi Stone did not teach himself any knightly swordsmanship, but let himself practice basic sword skills all the time.

Chop, chop, block, stab, pick......... In this way, Fang Zheng practiced these boring basic skills over and over again according to Stone's orders. According to Stone, the Royal Cross sword technique he himself used was already quite strong. However, because of Fangzheng's lack of understanding of swords, it will lead to the inability to fully exert the power of swordsmanship.

Founder agrees with this. At the beginning, when he fought against Shi Stone, because the other party was not familiar with this swordsmanship, Fang Zheng was able to barely gain the upper hand and finally win. But that time, since that assessment, Fang Zheng has never won against Shi Stone, even if the other party just uses the most ordinary standard weapons to fight with himself, Fang Zheng feels that he is crushed.

"You're such a freak."

Looking at Fang Zheng, who was sweating profusely in front of him, Stone pursed his lips.

"Generally speaking, people with a strong will are not too bad, but why is your kid's body so weak? Also, I think the level of strength you have mastered is also considered to be in the house, why don't you know how to cut people when you take a sword? ”

Hearing Stone's ridicule, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly. Indeed, he is determined, if he is not firm, can he still work overtime day and night? As for this body......... You don't want to be stronger? I still have a few abs in my original body, and this damn cultist didn't feel like his body was hollowed out, thank God.........

Of course, Fang Zheng was also very clear about the power system of this world, so he quite understood why Stone would say this. On this continent, people use an energy called "Star Spirit Power", but in Fang Zheng's view, this so-called "Star Spirit Power" is actually basically no different from the "internal force" in martial arts novels, and in fact, their classification is quite similar.

On this continent, the power of the star spirit is divided into six levels, which are Beginner, Regular, Elite, Grandmaster, Legendary, and Extraordinary.

Entry-level professionals are a bit like those three-minded and nine-rate tricks in martial arts novels, maybe a few Shaolin Changquan or Black Tiger hearts, but that's all, they just exercise their physique, and there is no special change. Most of the militia in this world are at this level.

The regular-level professionals are more like the disciples of some sects of the Great Sect, who have cultivated their internal strength, and they are much more clever than those who can only fight with one or two moves, and they can use their strength to strengthen their bodies and exert their strength beyond ordinary people. For example, jumping a few meters high, or 100 meters and 10 seconds 8, these people have already mastered the use of the power of the stars to enhance their physical attributes, and can use less scientific techniques such as "Golden Bell Jar" or "Tiyun Zong".

Elite-level professionals take this a step further, in fact, to judge whether a professional has elite-level strength, it only needs to be seen whether he can let the power of the star spirit launch an out-of-body attack. Whether it's a mage, a knight, an assassin, a thief, or something else, as long as they can perform an out-of-body attack that allows the power of the astral spirits to be out of body, then they have surpassed ordinary warriors and become an elite.

Grandmasters, on the other hand, are even more powerful, not only wielding great powers, but also innovating with their own skills and combat skills. For example, the Great Knight of Stone is a grandmaster, and the existence that has reached this level is basically similar to the heads of the various sects in martial arts novels, not only powerful, but also has their own unique secret skills.

As for the legend, it is even more terrifying, the grandmaster level is barely in the range of martial arts, so the existence of the legend level has basically reached the realm of Xianxia novels, and it is the norm to shoot in the dark or something, but it is not comparable to the real gods, I am afraid it is not far behind. It's no joke to spread the word for a hundred miles, in fact, in this world, the real legendary powerhouses are almost equal to the strategic nuclear weapons possessed by each country, and they are easy not to attack. And it is because of their existence that the continent can remain peaceful.

But if that's all there is to it, it's obviously not enough. After all, mortals are an impulsive, greedy and blind existence, temporary restraint does not mean that they can always be restrained, maybe some people will try to destroy this world for revenge, and even some people will try to destroy this world because of falling into darkness, but in the end, none of this happened, the reason is that there is an incomparably powerful existence level above the legend.

Extraordinary.

If the legend is the pinnacle of the mundane, then the transcendent existence is, as the name suggests, the existence beyond the mundane. Transcendent beings are never mortals, all transcendent beings are the incarnations and messengers of gods or demon kings, they have power beyond mortals, and even at certain moments, they can do whatever they want!

And because of this, this continent can remain calm, even the existence of the legendary level can not set off any waves, after all, on this continent, justice and evil are not eternal enemies, in fact, if someone tries to destroy the world, then the first thing he is waiting for may not be the sanction of the gods, but the poisonous blade behind the demon king——— Lao Tzu does not need money to develop believers? Have you destroyed the world and let me drink the northwest wind?

That's why Shi Stone said that Fang Zheng is really a freak, because now Fang Zheng's strength level is almost at the level of the middle of the elite, but his own body is so poor that he seems to have basically never exercised. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS IS LIKE LING HU CHONG, WHO HAS LOST ALL HIS INTERNAL STRENGTH, LEARNED THE SIX-VEIN DIVINE SWORD, AND HE ALSO SHOOTS ENDLESSLY......... Is it possible?

And Fang Zheng also noticed his own shortcomings, that is, sword skills. The long sword was a very unfamiliar weapon to him, he had never touched this thing in his previous life, and it had only been less than a month since he was reborn in this world. The system has allowed him to master swordsmanship skills and knowledge, but experience cannot be achieved overnight, which really requires time accumulation and down-to-earth acquisition.

But fortunately, he is not completely out of the question.

"Okay, that's all for today, you can go back and rest."

Shi Dong was very satisfied with the other party, although he felt that the swordsmanship skills mastered by the other party were not quite in line with his experience, but after thinking about it, there was nothing strange about it, the swordsmanship itself needed to be understanding and intelligence, and as long as he was not an idiot, he could master some of them. Besides, it is normal for the other party to have some incredible characteristics when they have the Holy Spirit.

As for Fang Zheng's body is not very strong, Shi Dong didn't have any doubts at this point, he only needed to glance at the other party's hand to understand that this young man had probably not held the sword for more than two months, so the physical fitness of a nobleman who always enjoyed it on weekdays would naturally not be much stronger.

Touching the beads of sweat on his forehead, Fang Zheng put down the long sword in his hand and turned to leave the training ground. Along the way, he met a number of Templars, many of whom let out a good-natured laugh when they saw Fang Zheng's embarrassed appearance.

"Hey, Fangzheng, you couldn't get up after being beaten by Lord Stone again?"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't people get up? It's still used to go. ”

"Hahaha, your kid has such a good life, I originally wanted His Excellency Stone to be my guide, but unfortunately people don't look down on me, it's a pity........."

Looking at this group of gloating guys, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Since you are so sorry, do you want me to say a few kind words for you in front of His Excellency Stone?"

"Uh......... Forget it......... You see I'm so old, you have to respect the old and love the young, don't you........."

"Hahaha........."

Looking at the unlucky guy with a wry smile on his face, the others couldn't help but laugh out loud. The air that used to be a little dull has become much more cheerful now.

Fang Zheng had only been in this temple for more than ten days, and his relationship with many people here was quite good, on the one hand, because Fang Zheng's [Holy Guardian] increased his holdings so that these Templars naturally had a good impression of him, and on the other hand, Fang Zheng was generous, as long as he had time to spare, he would invite them to the tavern for a drink. Generous people will not be annoying anywhere, so during this period of time, Fang Zheng's favorability in everyone's hearts has also risen.

However, it was his hard work and perseverance that made the Templars recognize Founder, and the training of Grand Knights of Stone was notoriously rigorous, and many of them had seen the trainee knights trained by him to death, almost as if they had been tortured. Most of them fell to the ground wailing, and only a few gave up after a few days. But this thin young man was able to grit his teeth and hold out for more than ten days——— which may be a matter of course for a warrior, but it was enough to make people awe-inspiring when placed on a young and thin nobleman.

After a few jokes with the others, Fang Zheng left the temple, and he rented a small house nearby to live in, which was not a difficult thing to do because of the star stripes and the guarantee of the temple. Originally, Stone hoped that Fang Zheng would be able to live in the temple, but Fang Zheng still refused his invitation, after all, there were some things that he was not suitable to complete in the temple.

For example, now.

Back in his room, Fang Zheng sat on a chair and looked at the dimensional code in front of him. And before his eyes, the sun was about to set below the horizon, and night was about to fall.

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and gently opened the code in front of him, and then Fang Zheng saw a strange projection emerge from the pages of the book as the code unfolded. From the outside, it appears to be a projection of the Earth, but it is surrounded by countless moons. With the earth at its core, they rotate slowly. In Fang Zheng's eyes, he could clearly see the words floating in his eyes.

【Dimensional World】【Free World】

Among them, in Fangzheng's eyes, the [Dimensional World] is still in a gray and unresponsive state, but the [Free World] can be clicked on. And for these, Founder is naturally quite clear.

The difference between the [Free World] and the [Dimensional World] is that when Fang Zheng travels to the [Free World], the time of the Overworld will not flow. In other words, no matter how long Fang Zheng stayed in that world, when he came back, it was still when he left. In the [Free World], Founder can not only stay indefinitely, but also choose to leave at any time. Of course, if his life is in danger, he can still choose to forcibly escape.........

At first glance, it seems that the [Free World] is much better than the [Dimensional World], but unfortunately, the system certainly does not leave any loopholes for Founder. While Free World may seem great, it has its own limitations.

First of all, in the [Free World], Fang Zheng cannot obtain dimensional points, equipment or skills by completing tasks, he can only obtain some rewards in the [Free World] in terms of attributes. Secondly, in the [Free World], Fang Zheng cannot use any of the skills and equipment he has obtained, nor can he open and activate the Soul Stone, so to speak, Fang Zheng in the [Free World] is just an ordinary person, at most only the bonus of titles and basic attributes.

Not only that, in Fangzheng's eyes, [Free World] is also divided into three categories: [Heart], [Technique], and [Body]. He had always been hesitant about which world he should go to to improve, but after training with Stone for so long, Fang Zheng had fully understood his current flaws. Therefore, he also made a decision quickly.

Here it is.

Looking at the teleportation icon in front of him, Fang Zheng took a deep breath, and then he reached out and clicked a little on the [skill]. Soon, in front of Fang Zheng, dazzling points of light resurfaced, and they were staggered end to end, forming a pillar of light that enveloped Fang Zheng.

It's time to enter a new world!
