Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Ryan's excitement has long been a thing of the past, and he has returned to his previous peaceful life of striking iron.

The mercenary tournament outside is still in full swing, but it has nothing to do with Ryan, and Ryan who doesn't step out of the blacksmith shop is like being isolated in another world.

After regaining his composure, Ryan kept thinking about what to do next.

This is a very important question.

Ryan really doesn't want to work in iron like this for the rest of his life, not to mention Ryan, who now has the memories of his past life, and even Ryan, who had no ambition and was muddy before, doesn't want to stay in the blacksmith shop to make iron, and wants to go out and have a good time.

It's just that now Ryan doesn't want to go out on impulse and without purpose, he needs to plan for the future, thoroughly plan his future plans, and then go out.

So for the last few days, Ryan has been thinking about this in his head.

There are not many professions to choose from in this world, far fewer than in the world of previous lives, and most of the professions in this world are linked to strength. If you have a lot of strength, you have a lot of good careers to choose from.

The experience of this mercenary competition made Ryan's original idea of being a little dismissive of fighting spirit completely changed.

In the final stage, facing a level 4 swordsman, a stick weighing forty or fifty pounds was easily blocked by a long sword full of fighting spirit. This completely dispelled Ryan's previous contempt for vindictiveness.

As for the sword blade issued by the opponent when facing a level 5 swordsman, it can easily cut off Ryan's thick. This made Ryan feel that his life was in danger, if he was not in the game, but in a situation where he had a grudge against others and fought for his life, and Ryan felt that he might be split in half by this sword.

Ryan finally understands how important vindictiveness is in this world. He was thinking that if he could be vindictive, this mercenary tournament would not need to rely on those strange methods to plot against others.

As for the magic that is more advanced than the fighting spirit, Ryan doesn't know much, but he knows that magic needs to pay attention to talent, once he becomes a magician, then he has stronger strength and has a more noble status than a swordsman. Ryan doesn't have much to expect from this.

Ryan decided that the top priority was to learn to be vindictive and work hard to improve his strength.

Judging from what I have learned so far, as well as my own situation, entering the academy to learn Douqi is the only way, just like going to school and studying in my previous life.

Ryan counted all his possessions, a little over fifteen gold coins. Judging from Ryan's inquiry, it seems that the money can pay for a year's tuition. Since there was enough money to pay for tuition, Ryan decided to go to college.

After making his decision, Ryan plans to go out tomorrow to find someone to find out about the school.

However, before that, Ryan felt that he still needed to reflect on his own strength.

It's definitely good to keep exercising all the time. But now that I've reached my limit, I can't go any further with physical training. But you can't give up, you still need to keep exercising, otherwise your physical condition will regress.

"In addition to fighting spirit, we also need a better way to exercise in order to make our strength go further."

"The equipment built for participating in the Mercenary Tournament needs to be improved and improved."

Chain Armor is the most effective, and also blocks a small fireball attack during the match. The effectiveness of the protection is comparable to that of iron armor, and the flexibility is better. But I wonder if I can block the swordsman's long sword full of fighting spirit? This estimate can't be stopped, after all, the chain armor is made of ordinary iron. It seems that in the future plan, it is necessary to find the strongest iron and then create a pair of chain armor that can block the fighting spirit.

sticks? With a very heavy weight and a lot of strength, Ryan thought that the lethality was very strong before, but it turned out that it was okay to deal with ordinary people and junior swordsmen, but when it came to dealing with intermediate and above swordsmen, it showed the shortcomings of insufficient lethality. Moreover, the Yin Stick can be used in competitive competitions that prohibit killing, but if it is used to fight for other people's lives in the future, the disadvantage of insufficient lethality will be more obvious.

"This weapon must be changed, it seems that it is to conform to the general trend of this world, and use the sword instead?"

Ryan really couldn't bear the stick skills he had worked so hard to practice before, and besides, even if he switched to using a sword, he wouldn't know how to use swordsmanship.

So it's best to have both, and after a while, Ryan had a flash of inspiration and had an idea to combine the stick and the sword.

In the past, Ryan used a heavy sword, which was a little more than a meter long, the width of the sword was as wide as the palm of a hand, and the weight was twenty or thirty catties.

The length of the yin stick used by Ryan is nearly two meters, and the diameter is later thickened to be as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and the weight is even forty or fifty pounds.

If you simply connect the two together, the length of the connection will reach more than three meters, which is definitely not possible. So both the stick and the heavy sword are to be shortened.

After carefully comparing with his hands, Ryan decided to shorten the length of the heavy sword to sixty or seventy centimeters, of which the length of the blade was about fifty centimeters, and the length of the iron rod was reduced to one meter.

Then make a threaded buckle on one end of the iron rod and the handle of the heavy sword, as long as the two buckles are aligned and rotated, you can make a very unique sword stick. The length of the combined sword and stick is about one and a half meters, and the weight reaches thirty or forty catties.

The other two pieces of equipment on Ryan's body, the iron toe and the small shield, are a bit of a chicken rib, but the equipment on the body is better than nothing.

After thinking about it again, Ryan decided to build the sword and stick first, and then ask about school.

In this way, Ryan continued to build the sword stick in addition to the daily iron, which lasted for eight or nine days before a brand-new sword stick was completely completed.

This sword and stick was not made of ordinary iron materials, but was made of the hardest stone and steel that Moya's father had on hand, which also cost Ryan two gold coins.

But it was worth the money, Ryan used the sword stick he had just created to cut the yin stick that had been cut off before, and as a result, after five cuts, he cut off the thick yin stick with a thick bowl. You must know that Ryan is not vindictive, he uses pure physical strength to cut, and he only cuts it after five cuts, which shows how sharp the sword stick is. If the sword and stick are full of fighting energy, it will be even sharper.

Ryan was very satisfied with this sword stick, but another problem arose that the original stick method no longer applied to this sword stick.

When the original stick technique is cast, it is necessary to rotate the stick from time to time and switch the other end of the stick to attack. But now that I'm using a sword and stick, I can't use these moves. Therefore, Ryan also needs to improve the stick method and change it to the stick method of applying the sword stick.

In the next few days, Ryan was constantly pondering and trying new stick techniques, he abandoned the original stick method that required the rotation of the stick body, and then considered the characteristics of the sword stick that was very similar to the machete, and designed a total of 26 new stick methods, or it can be said that it is a hodgepodge of stick methods, sword techniques, and knife techniques.

Ryan was excited by the new stick method, which made Ryan feel that his strength had been upgraded to a higher level, and his attack power had changed drastically, from the previous level of wounding to the current level of killing.

At this time, it has been almost half a month since Ryan was eliminated from the Mercenary Tournament, and the Mercenary Tournament just ended yesterday.

In the end, a level 6 swordsman won the championship of this mercenary competition.

This is the end of this mercenary tournament.

Just yesterday after the mercenary tournament ended, almost half of them left Kata City at once. Today, almost all the people who came to watch the game have left Kata City. Only some merchants who are doing business from outside are clearing their goods, and once they are cleared, they are expected to leave Kata City as soon as possible.

In an instant, Kata City turned from noisy to desolate, and only the chaos of the city can prove that it has just flourished.

As for the original inhabitants of Kata City, they have also begun to return to their original peaceful life, and it will soon be as if the mercenary tournament had never been held.

On this day, as the mercenary tournament had just ended, Ryan also ended a similar retreat. He walked out of the blacksmith shop, wanted to get some air, and by the way, looked where he could ask questions about how to go to college.

Before the cautious Ryan went out, he still put on his coat and dressed up a little, so as not to be recognized by some people who had seen Ryan play and hated Ryan, so as not to cause trouble.
