"Get out of here, invaders!"

The Red Bow Knight repeated it again, and the three sharp arrows pointed steadily at Du Mu and the three.

The moment he was pointed at by the arrow, Du Mu's heart immediately swelled with a strong sense of crisis, and the skin on the heart of his left chest even felt a faint tingling.

There was no doubt that if he took one more step forward, the arrow would have pierced his heart.

Seeing this, Du Mu glanced at the Red Bow Knight with a solemn expression, waved his hand to Hilsen and Xiao Jiu, and slowly retreated outside the gate.

After they left the sand, the Red Bow Knight finally let go of the bowstring and put the arrow back into the quiver at his waist.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, a hint of thoughtfulness flashed in Du Mu's eyes.

Like Hilson before assimilation, most of the Red Bow Knights in front of him are also deprived of their autonomous consciousness, and they are like robots, only performing a specific command in a fixed area.

And the order of the Red Bow Knight is obviously to expel the non-knight members who enter the 30th layer of sand.

"After Hilson's assimilation, won't he be recognized as a knight?" Du Mu glanced at Hilson beside him, thinking secretly.

The situation is very clear at the moment, if you want to continue to go up, you have to break through the blockade of the Red Bow Knight, but the opponent will use long-range attacks, which is extremely detrimental to them.

What's more, the strength of the Red Bow Knight is also terrifyingly strong.

'Combat Strength: 2950'

"The combat power is 600 higher than Hilson!"

Du Mu's eyes were slightly condensed, and after weighing it, he decisively gave up the idea of breaking through.

With the current state of him, Xiao Jiu, and Hilson, if he fights the Red Bow Knight, even if he can win, it will be a miserable victory, and it is not worth it.

"Let's go back first and improve our strength. ”

Recently, Du Mu has accumulated a lot of nightmare energy, and he was worried that the increase in combat power rating would lead to a decrease in income, so he endured it and didn't use it, but now that the defenders have been wiped out, there is no need to be patient, it's time to strengthen a wave.

Taking Hilson and Xiao Jiu back, Du Mu turned around and went back to the 29th floor to sit down, waiting for the dream to end.

He hadn't found the halo that had returned directly from the White Tower area to the street area, and if he wanted to leave, he would have to wait for the dream to end.

......

Late the next night, apartment bedroom.

Standing in front of his desk, Du Mu stared intently at the computer screen.

'Nightmare Energy: 1920'

Nearly 2,000 points of nightmare energy made Du Mu's face appear irrepressibly happy, and after calming down his breath a little, he began to put the nightmare energy into the stars, lighting up the stars one by one.

47、48、49、50......

When the 50th star point was lit, the strength and constitution columns on the personal panel suddenly flashed, and the level behind it instantly changed to 'D+'.

"Whew...... Finally improved!"

Experiencing the warm current surging in his body, Du Mu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to open the skill interface.

Now that the three dominant attributes of strength, constitution and agility have broken through to the D+ level, it seems that there should be many skills that meet the upgrade conditions.

Sure enough, after browsing on the computer, Du Mu found that many skills had already met the upgrade conditions.

'Swordsmanship (Mastery), which can be upgraded, consumes 100 Nightmare Energy. ’

'Physical Skill (Mastery), which can be upgraded, consumes 100 Nightmare Energy. ’

'Bailuo Breathing Method (Mastery), which can be upgraded, consumes 100 Nightmare Energy. ’

The three martial arts specialties actually met the upgrade conditions at the same time.

Looking at the text information on the screen, Du Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It seems that it has been a long time since the last improvement of these three martial arts specialties.

"It seems that the martial arts expertise after the control level must reach a certain level in all three dominant attributes before it can be considered to meet the promotion conditions. Du Mu guessed in his heart, and raised his eyebrows, "Then the next upgrade, it won't all have to reach C+, right?"

Du Mu estimated that he had to light up at least 200 stars in order to strengthen the three dominant attributes to C+ level.

Shaking his head and dispelling the superfluous thoughts, he decisively chose to upgrade the three martial arts specialties.

After standing motionless at the desk for nearly an hour, Du Mu digested the extra information in his mind and exhaled heavily.

"Is this a master's swordsmanship?"

Compared with the body technique and the Bailuo breathing method, the change brought to Du Mu by upgrading the swordsmanship to the master level is more obvious, and the swordsmanship at this level has already brought a hint of artistic conception, faintly touching the mysterious sword intent realm.

"No wonder Senior Zou's eyes were so sharp that day, and his eyes alone could give me the illusion of being pointed at by a sword. A flash of surprise flashed in Du Mu's eyes.

After thinking about it, he turned around and left the bedroom, came to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room, and looked up, in the mirror, a handsome young man stood upright, his face was soft, and even his eyes were very gentle, and there was no aggressive sharpness.

“...... Is it because of the dream?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Du Mu had a plan in his heart.

Dream realm unlocking and upgrading skills is to directly instill relevant experience, tips and perceptions into his mind and body memory, as if he has been cultivating for many years, and he can use it handily immediately, not like Zou Tianrui, because the swordsmanship realm has just broken through, and he has not yet fully mastered it, so that the sword is unexpectedly exposed, and his eyes are as sharp as the edge of a sword, which will make people feel uncomfortable after looking at each other.

"That's fine, it won't be easy for people to see that my swordsmanship realm has broken through. Du Mu muttered to himself.

Although this matter will definitely not be hidden for long, but it can be delayed for a while, and the 19-year-old swordsmanship master will cause a sensation in the entire academy if it is spread out, and there may be another lot of trouble.

He just wants to be strong quietly.

Back in the bedroom, Du Mu re-checked the skill interface, this time there was no new unlockable martial arts for attribute breakthroughs, in addition to the three martial arts specialties, only three six-style physical skills met the upgrade conditions.

'Six-Style: Iron (Mastery), which can be upgraded, requires D+ Constitution, Physique (Mastery), and 50 Nightmare Energy. ’

'Six-Style Finger Gun (Mastery), which can be upgraded, requires Strength D+, Physical Skill (Mastery), and 50 Nightmare Energy. ’

'Six Styles: Shaving (Starter), which can be upgraded, requires D+ Constitution, D+ Agility, Physique (Mastery), and 50 Nightmare Energy. ’

Among the four six-style physical skills, only the paper painting that has just been unlocked for a long time cannot be upgraded.

There was no hesitation, anyway, the nightmare energy was still sufficient, and Du Mu chose to upgrade it all.

After digesting the information in his mind, he immediately activated the combat power detector and found that his combat power had increased to 1135, officially advancing to the four-star level.

Looking at the combat power rating again, it is not surprising that it has also been improved to C-.

"Nightmare energy is 1276 left. Du Mu glanced at the screen, thought for a while, and decided to use all the remaining nightmare energy to light up the stars.

As he clicked quickly, the number of stars lit up on his dashboard increased dramatically.

51、52、53、54......71、72、73！

It wasn't until the 73rd star point was lit that Du Mu stopped what he was doing, and at this point, the nightmare energy was only 29 points.

In the attribute column, agility has broken through to C-level.

Agility and perception have always been Du Mu's fastest improving attributes, among which agility is even better, and at this time, Du Mu was not too surprised to be promoted to C- level, but he was quite happy in his heart.

After nearly 2,000 points of nightmare energy were almost exhausted, Du Mu's personal panel also underwent a huge change.

Name: Du Mu

Strength: D+

Agility: C-

Constitution: D+

Perception: D+

Will: D

Skills: Swordsmanship (Master), Bailuo Breathing (Master), Body Art (Master), Stars (73/305)

Sword Skills: Snake Eater, Reverse Wheel, Sharp Claw, Star Dust, Rigid Luo (Mastery), Flash Spike, Avalanche, Draw Slash, Extreme Breaking Blade

Physical Skills: Iron (Mastery), Finger Gun (Mastery), Shaving (Mastery), Paper Painting (Starter), Life Return (Mastery)

Extraordinary: Gray Dream LV6 [922/3000] (isolation, assimilation、???), the breath of all things

Nightmare Energy: 29

Power Rating: C-

On the other hand, the combat power has also skyrocketed to 1685, which is almost a four-star high-level level, and it is only a little short of entering the four-star peak.

At the same time, the continuous fencing skill interface, which has not been seen for a long time, has finally ushered in a new sword skill.

'Hump Octave, Eight Consecutive Fencing Skills, from Sword Art Online Kirito, unlock conditions: Swordsmanship (proficient), Agility C-, 50 Nightmare Energy. ’

"Eight consecutive strikes!?" Du Mu's eyes lit up, and the next moment he showed a look of regret, "It's a pity, the nightmare energy is not enough, I knew that there were new sword skills that could be unlocked, and I just missed one star point." ”

"Forget it, anyway, it's only 21 nightmare energy, and it will be enough in two days at the slatest. ”

Although the 30th floor of the Holy White Tower cannot be forced to break through, there are still patrols on the outer corridors of the White Tower area that can be killed to earn Nightmare Energy.

Closing the computer, Du Mu turned to study the physical skills that had just been upgraded.

Six-style physical skills like iron and shaving, each upgrade will extend to a very practical and powerful new technique, and this time is no exception.

The first is the block of iron.

The biggest change in the mastery-level iron block is that it can move at will while maintaining the iron state, and the principle is to speed up the muscle movement by accelerating the blood flow, and as long as the body is strong enough, it can move at the same time as the iron block.

Therefore, the first condition for the iron block to be promoted to the mastery level is to reach the D+ level in terms of physique.

In addition, the mastery level of the iron block also extends an advanced skill called 'steel', which strengthens the defense on the basis of the iron block to resist the opponent's attack, and is called the strongest defense "iron block".

The defense of 'Steel' is several times stronger than that of a normal iron block, of course, such a strong defense is not without a price, and when casting 'Steel', the user cannot move freely, just like the original entry-level iron block.

The second refers to guns.

The mastery-level finger gun has the most skills, and there are three of them.

It is known as a shooting finger gun, and it is capable of shooting air bullets with its fingers and "pulling" the flying finger gun that attacks the enemy from a distance.

A five-finger gun that uses a finger gun with five fingers at the same time to launch multiple attacks.

The 'Yellow Lotus', which has been modified from the basic form of a finger gun, can perform high-speed combos at enemies like a machine gun.

There are a total of three extension techniques, all of which are extremely practical and powerful attack skills, after sorting out the information and learning about these skills, Du Mu was also shocked.

The finger gun has always been in a rather awkward position among the four six-style physical skills he has learned.

To use the finger gun, you must close the distance, not to mention, the power is not satisfactory, it is not as good as Du Mu's current casual slash, which is particularly chicken, and the sword and gun are more practical.

However, after adding these three extension skills, the practicality of the finger gun has been greatly improved, not to mention the attack of both distance and near, and the power should not be underestimated, and it has finally turned over.

As for shaving, the change is not very big, but the movement speed is just a higher level.

After practicing the six-style physical skills on the street outside the apartment for a while, Du Mu stopped his movements with satisfaction.

"The attribute level can't be improved for the time being, so let's focus on absorbing the mist and raising the level of Gray Dream. Du Mu pondered for a moment, took out the halo of the dark chaser walking towards the end of the street, and prepared to go to the corridor in the White Pagoda area to hunt the patrolmen.

Before absorbing the gray fog, the number of patrols must be minimized.

Currently, only the cloister and atrium in the White Tower area have gray fog, and the dungeon and the White Tower are empty.

And the corridor and the atrium are not far apart, no matter where you absorb the gray mist, it will attract the patrolmen, and the patrolmen who have the 'strengthen the strength of their companions after death' BUFF, once they gather in large numbers, there is no doubt that it is a terrible nightmare, Du Mu is not like absorbing the fog to the end and facing a big boss with three or four thousand combat power.

Therefore, before absorbing the gray mist, you must try to eliminate the patrols in the cloister, and by the way, you can also obtain nightmare energy to unlock the sword skill 'Octave Buzz'.

Thinking of doing it, after arriving at the corridor, Du Mu immediately summoned Hilson and Xiao Jiu, explored all the way along the atrium wall, and stepped forward to kill the patrol team when he encountered it.

Time passed gradually in this way, hunting and cultivating.

In reality, the recruitment of the six major clubs has come to an end, and out of thousands of first-year students, less than 300 have joined the club.

Those who succeed in joining the club are happy, while those who fail to be selected feel sorry for themselves.

The Star Luo Forum quickly announced the clubs that the top eight in this year's ranking battle will join.

As the chief Du Mu, and the fourth Luo Shen joined the Sword Society.

The second Lei Kai unsurprisingly joined the Shepherd's Society.

Gu Huaqing, who ranked third, and Jing Lei, who ranked seventh, joined the Flying Star Society.

It is worth mentioning that Jing Lei, who was originally ranked ninth, directly challenged Wan Shengshu, who was in seventh place, after returning from the northern ruins, and won the battle and successfully rose to seventh place, while Wan Shengshu and Ren Kuan, who were originally seventh and eighth, were postponed one place down, becoming eighth and ninth.

And Wan Shengshu then joined the Iron Fist Club.

As for Chi Xiangzhen, who ranked fifth, and Zhou Qixi, who ranked sixth, joined the Rose Society together.

At this point, the top eight in the ranking war have been divided up by five clubs, but the Heavy Blade Club is the most sorrowful, not to mention the top eight, among the first-year members recruited, the top one is only the twelfth, far inferior to the other five clubs.

In this restless and noisy atmosphere, the time for the club to be held is gradually approaching.
