Chapter 14: Weapon Mastery—Taidao
Holding the handle of the Taidao 'Big Bone', Yang Pan was very satisfied with this weapon, even if the quality was only white, the quality of this weapon was absolutely excellent, and the materials needed to advance this weapon didn't seem to be difficult to get.
Yang Pan tried it just now, and found that the only two materials in his hand, 'Tiger's Skull' and 'Great Boar King's Fangs', could not be used as advanced weapons materials, but since the materials needed for advanced were only ordinary white quality, it should not be difficult to find.
Since the materials for the advancement of weapons cannot be found for the time being, Yang Pan no longer thinks about this, anyway, he doesn't need to advance his own weapons for a while, the 'big bone' is enough for him to use now.
Putting the weapon beside him, Yang Pan took out the 'Hunter's Notes (Remnant)' from the storage space and began to look through it.
After reading it for a while, the content of the notes has been almost understood, and the whole note can be roughly divided into three parts, 'Weapon use', 'Prop making', and 'Monster information'.
In these three parts, the 'Monster Information' part includes the Great Boar King who was burned to death by Yang Pan, and there are many other powerful monster information, and those information is more detailed than the information obtained through 'exploration', which should have been recorded after the hunter who wrote the note had personally fought.
However, the value of this part of the information should be the lowest, because Yang Pan's probability of seeing those monsters now is very low, coupled with the mutilation of the notebook body, the information of most monsters is incomplete, so I don't know how long it will be before I use it.
Then there is the "item making" part, which is much more valuable in comparison, and the materials used to make props can be replaced by other materials with similar properties, and it should be possible to make items with similar properties.
However, this part of the content is also partially missing, and many items are unique to the world, so what can be made should be very limited, and what can be made will have to be carefully studied to know.
As for the part of 'weapon use', it should be what Yang Pan needs the most now, after all, he was just an ordinary person before he came to the infinite space, and in peacetime, the only thing that can be said to be combat experience is street fights.
If you use the experience of street fighting to break through the infinite space, it is estimated that it will not take long for his corpse to be cold, if nothing else, just say that the Great Boar King is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
The content of the "weapon use" section basically introduces the skills and moves of weapon use, but because of the problem of incompleteness, although there are many types of weapons introduced above, but there are very few really complete ones, of which the "Taidao" part is one of the few complete parts, and the other weapon parts are basically only weapons introduced.
It just so happens that the weapon 'Big Bone' is divided into Taidao according to the world where Monster Hunter is located, so it seems that the skills and moves of using Taidao recorded in this hunter's notebook can be said to be at the right time.
Of course, it's not so much that it's the right time to say that it was arranged early, after all, all this is too coincidental, isn't it, just get the weapon and have a matching way to use it, if you want to say that it is not arranged, Yang Pan himself doesn't believe it, but he will definitely not refuse this kind of arrangement that is beneficial to himself.
After flipping the 'Hunter's Notes' to the weapon use section of the Taidao, Yang Pan began to examine it carefully.
The content on the notes was relatively simple at the beginning, it was to introduce some skills of holding a knife with a knife, precautions and the like, and then there was the part of weapon moves, but after reading this part, Yang Pan was a little disappointed, because what was written above was a very basic and simple weapon move, which looked very ordinary, and there were no very powerful and gorgeous skills.
"That's fine, at least don't worry about being too advanced and you can't figure it out." Yang Pan thought silently, "Anyway, what I lack now is the foundation."
Yang Pan still knows the importance of a solid foundation for future development, after all, if a house is not even a solid foundation, no matter how gorgeous the part on the ground is, it is meaningless, and the foundation is the most important thing.
After reading his notes for a while, Yang Pan had memorized most of the moves he could learn and use, and he was ready to practice them and try the actual combat effect.
Reaching out and grabbing the hilt of Big Bone's sword, he resisted the whole knife and walked in the direction of the forest.
After coming to the forest, Yang Pan walked to a big tree, recalled the knife holding method and weapon skills in his notes, and then practiced with a knife against the big tree in front of him.
At the beginning of the practice, Yang Pan should be because of his unfamiliarity with weapons and his inadaptability to various weapon skills, his body movements are very stiff and full of mistakes, basically he is slashing the knife indiscriminately.
But as Yang Pan gradually adapted to the weight and structure of the 'big bone', his swinging movements gradually became smoother, although the weapon was still very jerky, but it was a little bit of a look, and it was no longer the same as before.
After practicing for more than an hour, Yang Pan's swinging of the knife gradually slowed down, and he was already sweating profusely at this time, after all, the weapon in his hand was still very weighty, and it was not easy to hold on for so long.
Even if his physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people, but he has been swinging the knife continuously for so long, it is almost to the limit, after gritting his teeth and swinging a knife at the big tree in front of him, Yang Pan stopped swinging the knife and sat on the ground, he needed to rest for a while.
"By looking through the hunter's notes and your own exercises, you will use your weapon to reach the elementary level."
"Trainee Executor 97762 turns on the basic function - weapon mastery."
"A special reward will be given for enabling this feature in the trial world."
"Your 'Weapon Mastery - Taidao (Beginner)' has been advanced to 'Weapon Mastery - Taidao (Intermediate)'."
"Does this 'Weapon Mastery-Taidao' do anything good?" Yang Pan asked the Infinity Mark with some confusion.
As soon as Yang Pan's words fell, the familiar translucent screen appeared in front of him, and a new message appeared on the screen at this time.
"Weapon Mastery - Taidao (Intermediate),
Effect: Improves the skill of using Taidao weapons.
Introduction: Out of the beginner, a small accomplished user of the sword. ”
Yang Pan sat under the tree, looking at the information that appeared in front of him, and was a little confused for a while, is this the end, it feels no different from before.
After resting under the tree for a while, it was almost dark, Yang Pan picked up his weapon and prepared to return to the fire, but this time the feeling of holding the weapon in his hand was a little different.
It was also a 'big bone', and it was also held in his hand, but Yang Pan felt that this weapon seemed to be more convenient than before.
"Could it be that this is the effect of 'Weapon Mastery-Taidao (Intermediate)'?" This question arose in Yang Pan's heart.
Throwing these thoughts aside, Yang Pan tried to swing the knife according to the method he had just practiced, and this time the strange feeling was even more obvious, and he obviously felt that the way he swung the knife before was very awkward.
After trying to swing a few times and feeling very uncomfortable, Yang Pan decisively gave up the previous method of swinging the knife and began to follow his feelings.
Raising the knife again, Yang Pan began to swing the knife again, but this time he felt the difference, compared to just now, he could obviously feel that the current movement was much smoother and more comfortable than before, and even the physical strength consumed when returning was much less than before.
After practicing according to his feelings for a while, Yang Pan stopped, now that it was dark, it was not suitable to continue practicing, and he also felt that he was hungry, it was time to eat something.
In other words, the big wild boar king seems to have been roasted to half-cooked, so it is better to go down and see if you can cut some pork and taste it.
Holding the 'big bone' on his shoulder, Yang Pan returned to the side of the pit and looked at the corpse of the big wild boar king at the bottom of the pit.
It is said that after killing the Great Boar Queen, Yang Pan could already submit the task and then go to see the mysterious infinite space, but after getting the 'Big Bone' and the 'Hunter's Notes', he dismissed his plan to complete the task immediately.
It's already the sixth night after coming to the trial world, and he still has a full day tomorrow, so it's a shame to waste it like this.
"If you still have time, why not take advantage of it." At this time, Yang Pan had some thoughts in his heart, he now had a weapon in his hand, even if he encountered another tiger, he would have the confidence to face the other party head-on.
If you can kill another beast of the level of a tiger, maybe you will have some gains, and even if you can't get the loot chest, it would be good to be able to practice the skills of using the Taiji.
