Chapter 517: The Battle of Self-Masochism
racked his brains, thought about it for more than ten minutes, Shaoyang couldn't find the root cause, and was about to enter the virtual world again, and have another battle with that opponent, trying to find the problem from the battle, at this time, there was a knock on the door and the voice of the girl before, "Sorry to disturb!"
It was indeed disturbed, Shaoyang frowned, but the girl came to knock on the door at this time, presumably because there was something important, so she got up and opened the door.
The girl apologized to Shaoyang again, and at the same time said the reason for looking for him, and secretly looked at Shaoyang's face to see if he was angry.
"Hello, now that the cultivation room is full, there are still people waiting in line outside the tower, and I found that you haven't entered the virtual world for more than ten minutes, so I want to come over and ask, do you want to continue cultivating in the virtual world or leave the illusion tower. ”
Shaoyang's brows furrowed even tighter, and a trace of gloom appeared on his face, not for the girl, but in the rules for the use of the illusion tower that I saw before, there was no rule that you must stay in the virtual world all the time, and you can't rest in the cultivation room.
The girl seemed to know Shaoyang's thoughts, and hurriedly explained, "I'm really sorry, the main reason is that there are too many people who want to come to the Illusion Tower to cultivate today, so they will take the liberty to come and disturb, you see..."
She really didn't want to knock on the door, but the people outside kept urging them to ask when they would have a free cultivation room, and they saw that Shaoyang hadn't entered the virtual world for a while, so they came over to ask.
"I'm still going to continue cultivating, but just now I was thinking about things and getting into a trance, so I'm going to enter the virtual world. Shaoyang figured out the whole story and knew that he shouldn't blame the girl, so he explained it a little, and when the girl left, he immediately entered the virtual world.
It seems that the method of exiting the virtual world from time to time to save the time of the illusion tower can't be used, think about it, if someone only has an hour or two, but they have been occupying the cultivation room, it is not fair to others, as for why the academy does not have a clear rule, it should be directly forbidden so It is not good, you can only remind those who have not entered the virtual world for a long time when the cultivation room is full.
Shaoyang estimated that if he didn't enter the virtual world for a long time, the girl's return should not be a reminder, but a persuasion to leave the Tower of Illusions.
If you don't retreat, you won't retreat, anyway, you have six days this month, which should be enough, and besides, you can't spend all day in the illusion tower.
Unable to figure out why he was defeated by the virtual enemy, Shaoyang had no choice but to enter the battle again, and his mind was constantly thinking about waiting for that move to appear.
This time, he quickly lost again, and he couldn't use the cracking method that he had thought about for so long, and his virtual opponent used another move to finish him off, which was also extremely simple, and it would not be more complicated than the last move, but it still made Shaoyang unable to see through.
After experiencing death again, even if Shaoyang was not afraid of the pain, his spirit became very tired, and he habitually wanted to quit the virtual world, remembering the girl's reminder, so he had to terminate the process of quitting and rest directly in the forest world on the second floor of the illusion tower.
The picture of the two battles kept emerging, trying to find out the root cause of his failure, but he was still at a loss, and then thinking about it carefully, he felt that those two times, it was not like the other party attacked him, but like he hit the opponent's attack, wiped his forehead, and then remembered that this was a virtual world, and there was no cold sweat.
Don't believe in evil, Shaoyang feels that the recovery is almost the same, and he enters the battle again, the same opponent, different scenarios, again and again, Shaoyang ends in a fiasco, after each battle is defeated and dies, the time it takes to recover is getting longer and longer, but the time for Shaoyang to hold on to the hands of the virtual enemy has also increased.
During this period, there were also virtual enemies who used the same moves and successfully blocked them, but more often they were defeated, and the same moves, used by virtual opponents, brought him completely different feelings and threats.
Gradually, Shaoyang also found that he was not defeated by the virtual enemy's moves, but lost in his combat experience, the opponent almost turned all kinds of moves into instinct, and often could judge his next move, and use the most suitable moves, no matter the timing or direction of the move was extremely accurate, which was fatal to Shaoyang.
Although there has been progress, Shaoyang's battle with the virtual enemy is not cultivation at all, but self-abuse, and in the process of being abused, let the body adapt to this kind of battle, so as to make progress.
This kind of harvest is actually not cost-effective for anyone, it is better to spend more time on improving cultivation, but it can greatly increase the combat power, but Shaoyang is an exception, his strength improvement, not more cultivation every day can be solved, if you want to improve your combat power, you can only use the battle, so that the unchanged strength can play a stronger combat power.
In this kind of masochistic battle, the biggest improvement is not the combat power, but Shaoyang's mental power and will, as the number of kills increases to I don't know how many times, Shaoyang's time to rest and recover after each battle has increased from the beginning, to now, it has actually begun to decrease, and he can even occasionally fight twice in a row without resting, which is a manifestation of the improvement of mental power and will, allowing him to withstand more virtual deaths.
In fact, this is also another benefit of the Illusion Tower, in addition to honing combat experience and learning some heavy burden of trick secret techniques, except that the pain of every death is prohibitive to the vast majority of people, and in addition, not everyone has enough time to waste on death recovery like Shaoyang.
Even the previous Novice Challenge champions only had three days in the first month, usually after one or two hours of cultivation, leaving the Illusion Tower to slowly recover their energy, Shaoyang had twice as much time as him, and then every month it was three or four times that of the first-ranked student, before he dared to slowly recover in the Illusion Tower, and then immediately entered a new battle.
Immersed in battle and death, Shaoyang almost forgot the time, until some noise woke him up, not someone knocked on the door again, it was his empty stomach that sounded, in the cultivation room, he couldn't know how many hours he had been in the virtual world, but the strong hunger told him that it would definitely not be too short.
"You won't stay here for a few days, will you?" Shaoyang took out some dry food and dried meat from the main city space of the system, temporarily soothed his stomach, and when the food went down, he couldn't control his anger.
Consciousness enters the virtual world, in fact, it is almost the same as sleeping, but the quality of sleep that has been dreaming is definitely not much better, Shaoyang will be really sleepy, and considering this state, the effect will not be better if he enters the virtual world to fight, so he decided to leave the illusion tower and go back to rest.
