On the other side of the forest, the girl wearing the uniform of the Turpas Academy faced the tiger in front of her with a cautious face, compared with the girl's petite body, the body of the monster seemed to be the other extreme, far beyond the physique of a human, in front of the monster, the girl looked a little weak. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a terrifying wildness faintly exuding from the thick hair of the demonic beast, not to mention that it was the freshman who participated in the assessment for the first time, even some of the students who had been promoted to the second-level cultivator could hardly maintain their calm in the face of this terrifying wildness.

If the human beings whose hands are stained with the blood of living beings will faintly exude a killing intent, then the beasts that slaughter many magical beasts will exude a wildness, in other words, the tiger in front of him has countless blood of the same kind on his hands.

"This kid is too impulsive, the Hungry Tiger is one of the kings on the periphery of this forest, the crowned beast at the top of the biological chain in this area, even if some second-level cultivators encounter him, they don't necessarily have an advantage, let alone her. The black-haired woman hiding in the shadows frowned and looked at the man and beast not far away, her face a little worried.

"With Philomena's strength, it is undoubtedly easy to pass the assessment of the Knight Branch, but she took the initiative to provoke those kings among the first-level demonic beasts hidden in the depths, and I really don't know whether to praise her self-confidence or despise her arrogance. The examiner next to him said helplessly.

The assessment of the Knight Branch is the same as that of the Magic Branch, which is to survive on the outskirts of the forest for three days, and unlike the spellcaster, before being promoted to the intermediate level, the cultivator is far stronger than the caster in terms of survivability, and the seemingly same assessment items are actually not difficult for the cultivator.

However, what Philomena is doing now is to increase the difficulty of the assessment that is not very difficult.

Even the black-haired woman who is extremely optimistic about Philomena can't help but break out in a cold sweat for Philomena's impulsive behavior, if Philomena's behavior causes her to fail the assessment, even if the black-haired woman can save Philomena, there are some rumors.

Between the two of them, the fight between Philomena and the monster sparked fireworks, the hungry tiger couldn't hold it back after all, and pounced on Philomena, Philomena squinted at the pupils of the brown gem, bowed slightly, took a half step back with her right foot, and held the iron shield in her left hand to protect the front, facing the bite of the hungry tiger, Philomena's defense was an impenetrable iron city, no matter what angle it was, Philomena could use the shield to defend in time.

After defending against the Hungry Tiger's third claw attack, Philomena kicked her right foot and rushed forward with her shield, using the weight of the shield to take advantage of the brief pause after the Hungry Tiger's frequent attacks, to strike a shield blow.

The huge force transmitted from the shield hit the door of the hungry tiger's head, and for a moment, the hungry tiger's consciousness was a little dizzy, and Philomena took this opportunity to swing the giant sword held in her right hand, and the fifty-kilogram giant sword was as soft as a wooden stick in Philomena's hand, and there was no difficulty in swinging and slashing.

With two slashes in a row, Philomena was about to slash the third horizontal slash, when the black-haired woman unconsciously screamed badly.

Sure enough, the next moment, the hungry tiger's consciousness was completely awake, relying on his innate strong physique, facing the horizontal slash of Philomena's full force, the hungry tiger did not resist with its claws, but swung it heavily at Philomena's head.

Philomena's pretty face was still calm, but the movements in her hands changed suddenly, and she was originally in a horizontal slashing posture, but at the moment when she was about to swing it, her strength stagnated in the air, and the shield was just raised, reaching the claws of the hungry tiger to the limit.

The Hungry Tiger's claws caused Philomena's footsteps to move back slightly, and then, Philomena's right hand that had been slashing suddenly swung down, and the momentum of this sword far exceeded that of the first-level knight itself, almost approaching the strength of the second-level cultivator.

The two people hiding in the shadows couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on their faces.

The sword landed straight on the head of the hungry tiger, easily breaking through the hungry tiger's sturdy fur and cutting out a deep wound.

Almost the moment this sword fell, the victory or defeat was already decided, and the hungry tiger was pressed and beaten all the way by Philomena in its heyday, not to mention when it was seriously injured, it didn't take long. The hungry tiger screamed and fell weakly in front of Philomena.

"That blow... It's a parry counterattack!" until the end of the battle, and the examiner did not recover from Philomena's sword.

The chief examiner was not surprised by the power of that sword, with the strength of the chief examiner and the black-haired woman, a hungry tiger was just a matter of a sword.

But Philomena is only a first-level cultivator, and her cultivator is a knight.

It is important to know that knights are heavy defensive positions, and among cultivators, knights' attack power can be said to be the bottom, which is recognized.

But the sword just now, even the swordsman with the strongest attack power of the same level of rank can't hit it.

"Yes, it's true that it's a block counterattack, and only by blocking a counterattack can you do damage that surpasses that of the same level!" the black-haired woman nodded.

Blocking counterattacks is a combat skill that can be practiced by first-class knights, and its mystery is not complicated, making a defense at the moment of attack, using the body as a conductor, so that the power transmitted on the shield is turned into use through the arm, and the stagnant attack is waved down in an instant.

This series of techniques must be completed in less than a second, and the transition from attacking to defending and counterattacking with the help of force may seem simple, but it is very difficult to actually apply it in combat. A grasp of the details of the battle and a solid foundation are necessary factors, and the defense at the moment of attack is rushed, and if you can't block the opponent's attack, you can't counterattack, make sure that the range of retreat cannot exceed half a step, and counterattack at the moment when the strength transmitted from the arm does not dissipate. There can be no mistakes or pauses in the whole process, and many second-level knights don't necessarily play a single parry counterattack in actual combat.

Ordinary beginners can use 50% of the opponent's strength to block counterattacks, but the black-haired woman noticed that Philomena used 70% of the strength of the hungry tiger in that blow, combined with her own full strength, to force out a power that even a swordsman could not imagine.

"Is this a coincidence? Near-perfect combat skills, almost like a battle-hardened warrior. "The examiner was a little incredulous.

"No, it's a battle instinct, the world has never been fair, and some people are born to be favorites and receive the blessings of the gods. ”

"The instinct to fight, the instinct to easily harness skill, this is indeed a rare talent. The examiner said suddenly.

"No, she can play a block counterattack, in addition to the battle instinct, but also her own foundation, a hasty defense can block the hungry tiger's full force, it is conceivable that even if there is no block counterattack, this kid may not lose. ”

"It's a pity, this kid should learn the skills of swordsmanship, and the instinct to control skills is the pursuit of every swordsman. ”

"That's not necessarily, in the long wheel of history, there are also some knights who can fight with excellent swordsmen head-on, not only are they not weak, but they can also be easily crushed. The restriction of rank may be a shackle for ordinary people, but in the case of geniuses, it is not important. ”

"What do you think the kid is like that?"

"There is a glimmer of possibility that such a genius will only appear in hundreds of years. ”

In the blink of an eye, the assessment has reached the third day, and Muse Ne counted the magic cores in his pocket, a total of thirty-two cores, except for the first actual battle, the next hunt, Muse Ne easily killed the prey in seconds.

Even if he encounters the king of the first-level Warcraft, Muse can easily end the battle, Muse now has a sigh, on the edge of the forest, there is nothing that the fire bullet can't solve, if there is, then use two shots!

After solving the demonic beast in front of him, Muse Ne dug out the magic core from the corpse, and was about to look for the next target, when a spiritual fluctuation was transmitted not far away, Muse subconsciously looked up, only to see two men in their twenties walking over, with a sneer on their faces like looking at their prey.

"Tsk!"

"What's the matter with the two seniors?" a sense of foreboding swelled up in Muse's heart, the two in front of him, he had never seen before, but he could feel the hostility emanating from the two of them.

"I thought you were hiding in a circle of shelter on the outskirts of the forest, but I didn't expect to run into such a deep territory, almost approaching the middle level, no wonder we couldn't find you before. ”

The two of them looked a little weird, two days ago they searched the entire outer circle of protection, which was the territory where the guards were stationed, and even if they encountered a monster attack, the guards could rescue in time.

But the periphery of the forest is really vast, and there are only a few dozen guards in the periphery, once they go deep into the periphery, it is no longer an area for the guards to rescue, and the new students will stop in the shelter circle.

A freshman like Muse, who ran into the depths in the first year of school, may not be able to meet once in hundreds of years, but unfortunately, this time he happened to meet, causing the two to search for no result in the shelter circle. I was going to put this task aside for the time being, and when I passed the assessment first, I happened to meet Muse.

"Who told you to find me, Dennis?" Muse's face was very ugly, he let Dennis go because of his soft heart, thinking that Dennis would be able to do it after he was beaten away by a spark, but he didn't expect Dennis to call a helper to take revenge on him.

"Am I being too soft-hearted? In this absurd world where life is like a mustard, I look at everything with the mentality of my previous life, thinking that a little lesson will calm things down. ”

Once again, Muse Ne recognizes the cruelty of this world,
