Chapter 443: Reflection
Jacques pressed his left hand on his injured shoulder and stared at Ryan blankly, his eyes full of shock and incredulity, as if he had seen a ghost.
The referees outside the field also looked at Ryan in surprise, but their eyes were full of puzzlement, and they were very puzzled how the situation of being evenly matched was suddenly broken by Ryan?
The dozens of level 5 swordsmen who were in charge of the assessment were making a loud noise, and they also couldn't figure out why Jacques was defeated. Most of them were discussing in low voices, and a small number of people who had a disagreement with Jacques laughed and sarcastically laughed loudly.
Ryan took two steps back, gave a swordsman salute, and said, "Admit it!" However, Ryan's politeness also has a hidden meaning, that is, "you lost, I have passed the test".
Jacques didn't return the salute, he didn't even give in to the ridicule and sarcasm of the others, he still looked at Ryan in shock. You know, if people usually laugh at him like this, Jacques will be very angry and ashamed, and he will want to find a hole in the ground. Jacques didn't have time to pay attention to the ridicule at the moment, which showed how shocked and incredible he was at Ryan's defeat.
"You...... What kind of sword move did you just use? Jacques muttered without his previous flirtatious look.
Obviously, this question was a question for everyone present, and many people couldn't help but look at Ryan, waiting for Ryan's answer.
"Oh! It was just your own negligence, and I was lucky enough to stab you. Ryan replied lightly, he naturally couldn't tell the other party that the other party had been hit by his psychic shock magic.
Jacques will be skeptical. He couldn't have imagined that Ryan would perform magic, and he didn't think about it, so he couldn't help but wonder if he was really negligent.
The referees and the swordsmen in charge of the assessment were also skeptical, but if Ryan didn't say the real reason, they could only accept this statement.
Finally. The referee had no choice but to announce that Ryan had passed the qualification examination and was eligible to participate in the swordsman conference. At this point, Ryan became one of the few swordsmen below level 5 who participated in the swordsman tournament.
Ryan defeats a level 5 swordsman. The deeds of passing the qualification assessment are really shocking, but these people are limited to the people in the house. People on the outside don't know. At most, they saw Ryan come out with a spring breeze on their faces, unlike the others who were depressed and hurt.
Katisha and Fairly and the others were not surprised that Ryan was able to pass, they knew that Ryan's goal in participating in the Swordsman Conference this time was to be the first place, so how could this small qualification assessment be difficult for Ryan?
However, Ryan, who had returned to his lodgings and was briefly happy, fell silent, and he wanted to reflect. Because he found that he had just easily defeated an ordinary level 5 swordsman. But the process is not easy, especially when you simply use the Douqi sword technique, you can't pose a great threat to the opponent, let alone defeat the opponent, you can remain undefeated. It's already pretty good. In the end, he was able to defeat the opponent easily, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent didn't know that he could cast magic at the same time, but once the opponent knew that he could cast magic at the same time, would he still be able to defeat the opponent so easily? But if the opponent is a level 6 swordsman with super strength, does he still have a chance to win? The answer is no.
"There are still three months to go, and I want to improve my strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you want to win first place, it will be a joke. After reassuring himself secretly, Rui began to reflect on his own shortcomings.
First of all, Ryan's biggest deficiency now is the lack of vindictiveness. Although Ryan's Dou Qi space was twice the size of a swordsman of the same level, and his Dou Qi reserve was also twice that of a swordsman of the same level, the opponent he was facing now was not a level 3 swordsman of the same level, but a high-level swordsman who was two or three levels higher than himself. The huge level gap leads to a huge gap in vindictiveness. At the moment, Ryan simply can't hard-catch the powerful attacks of high-level swordsmen, which causes Ryan to be at a very passive disadvantage in battle.
Secondly, even though Ryan hasn't officially used magic and vindictive energy to fight people at the same time, Ryan still feels that he hasn't combined magic and vindictive energy very well. If the combination of magic and fighting qi is divided into several levels, then Ryan is only in the initial stage, a very superficial stage. Ryan feels that he still has a lot of potential to explore, so he will have to think about it in the next three months.
In the end, Ryan felt that he didn't have a killer move now, and it was difficult for him to defeat the enemy as he did before. In the past, with his current level 3 swordsman's fighting spirit, he could barely use it, but the effect was very bad, and he couldn't pose much threat to the high-level swordsman at all. Ryan had already tried before, and he couldn't inflict damage on the other side of Jacques who used his quick sword skills to deal with the strength of an ordinary level 5 swordsman. Therefore, when Ryan's fighting spirit has not recovered the strength of a level 5 swordsman or above, he must create a new killing move.
Moreover, Ryan's four killer moves are also going to be updated. Ever since he came to the Kaoya Empire, he found that his four major killing moves were not as powerful as before. In the Kaoya swordsman empire, every powerful swordsman has his own killer weapon. Ryan's self-created four killer moves, in comparison, are not so powerful, at most they can only be regarded as middle to upper level. In addition, Ryan can now cast magic and fighting energy at the same time, so he should fuse magic into the previous four major killing moves to create a more powerful killing move.
After summarizing these problems, it is necessary to find a way to solve them, but Ryan soon felt very difficult, the biggest problem is still the lack of time, there are still three months before the start of the swordsman conference. These three months may seem like a lot, but Ryan wants to make a lot of progress and reach a point where he can match a level 6 peak swordsman, but it is very difficult, almost impossible to achieve.
If there is still a year or two left, Ryan is confident that he will return to his previous level, and he can even reach the peak level of a level 6 swordsman. It's a pity that time waits for no one, and he missed this swordsman conference, and the time is almost when Fix's son is sixteen years old, and if Count Ahan wins the title of earl for Fix's son, then everything is a foregone conclusion, and it will be difficult for Gaudí to regain the earldom.
"You have to find a way to improve your strength quickly!" Ryan racked his brains and finally came up with a solution, "I used to take elixirs to boost my mental power, but my magic power increased by leaps and bounds. Now that the method of cultivating my Dou Qi is the method of using my spiritual power to guide the magic elements, then I should be able to find the kind of elixir that can enhance my spiritual power to take and quickly improve my Dou Qi. ”
As soon as he thought of it, Ryan took out the magician robe that he had collected for a long time and changed it on, but Ryan did not wear the black mage robe of a high-level magician, but wore a dark gray mage robe that represented an intermediate mage. The reason is simple, because Ryan is worried that others will question his status as a magician, and if he can't prove that he is a level 5 magician, it will be troublesome. It's better to wear an intermediate magician robe, if someone doubts it, then he can easily prove it by casting a few level 3 magic.
In the next few days, Ryan wandered around the Magic Association of the City of Sacred Powers and the magic shops in the city, and he had only one purpose, to find elixirs to boost his mental power.
The Kaoya Empire is a swordsman empire, which does not mean that there are no magicians, nor does it mean that the status of magicians is low, on the contrary, the status of magicians in the Kaoya Empire is very high. The Kaoya Empire's tradition of emphasizing swordsmanship has made the ratio of mages to ordinary people much lower than in other countries. However, the empire's huge population base makes the number of mages more than other kingdoms and principalities. Of course, the number of magicians is certainly not comparable to that of the Odoli Empire.
Ryan went to the Magic Association in the City of Saint-Will, but was not ostracized by the Magic Association, and his status as a magician certified by the Otto Empire was very eye-catching, and many magicians in the Magic Association were eager to befriend Ryan. However, Ryan's mind was not here, and after a brief conversation with the people of the Magic Association, he threw himself into the search for the elixir.
However, it is a pity that Ryan can't find a spiritual elixir in the Magic Association, and then he goes to the magic shop in the City of Holy Might to inquire. There are only a dozen magic shops in the City of Divine Prestige, and they are scattered all over the City.
It took Ryan a few days to finally find a spiritual elixir in a remote magic shop. But then a new problem arose: this magic shop only had thirty elixirs to improve mental power, but it asked Ryan for 12,000 gold coins.
The elixir that Ryan had purchased in the City of Glory before only cost two hundred gold coins each, but now the price has doubled. However, considering that the magic level of the Kaoya Empire is lower than that of the Odoli Empire, this elixir that boosts spiritual power is rare and expensive, and this price is also reasonable.
However, the problem is that Ryan can't afford it, he only has more than a thousand gold coins left now, even if he uses all of them to buy pills, he can only buy three or four pills, which is useless at all, and he can't improve Ryan's strength.
Ryan had to use the excuse of going back to raise money to let the store keep these elixirs that boost mental strength.
"How do I raise this coin?" Ryan was a little distressed when he returned to his residence, but he seemed to have only one way to go, and that was to sell things, and he didn't have time to do tasks to make money, and besides, it was impossible to get so much paid for doing tasks.
"Should I sell my high-grade Warcraft Crystal Nuclei and Fire Crystals? Or should it be sold camp. What about the secret of Oseidon? Then Ryan had a new problem.
After thinking about it for a moment, Ryan made a decision, and he compared it to Kemp. With more than two hundred secrets left behind by Oseidon, as well as the few dozen high-grade Warcraft crystal nuclei and fire spars that he has worked hard to collect for many years, the answer is easy to choose.
