Chapter 253: A New Use of Two Skills
Syllable! Syllable!
Two crisp sounds came from Zheng Shu's body in a row, which meant that two more bows and arrows had hit him.
Although the beating was painful, Zheng Shu still tried his best to concentrate his attention, constantly moving quickly while observing the possible attack positions around him.
The place where he was located was an endless grassland, and theoretically there was no place around where people could hide.
But getting along with Charon for a period of time let Zheng Shu know what the top archers in ancient Greece were, and with the assistance of magic, Charon could even shoot beyond visual range.
And no matter how fast the bow is, the magic of the Charon can cancel out most of the air resistance and noise, so that even if the bow and arrow exceed the speed of sound, it will remain silent when actually firing.
In addition to sounds, Charon's bow and arrows would often shoot at Zheng Shu's visual corners, and even if an arrow occasionally appeared in Zheng Shu's field of vision, it must have been to attract his attention and use it as bait for other arrows to sneak attack.
Zheng Shu's perception is indeed very strong, but in most cases, he also relies on his five senses to detect danger.
But now, except for eyesight, which can play a little role, other senses can't work, and vision is also a side effect in most cases, so that Zheng Shu has to improve his perception of danger under the pressure of such an environment.
Standing on the top of another cliff, Charon smiled and watched the students in the distance changing their movements.
Zheng Shu was pleasantly surprised by the speed of progress in the past few days, when he first started training, his student was just a reckless man who could only fight with his physical fitness, but after just a few days, his skills in all aspects have been greatly improved.
At first, Charon didn't even need to spend much effort to shoot him, but now, Charon has to use almost all of his shooting skills to shoot Zheng Shu, who is suppressed by magic and rock.
"It should be almost, if you can really dodge my arrows in this situation, then from now on, no one in this world will be able to shoot you with a bow and arrow." Caron opened his bow again and mounted several arrows, "So...... Let me see your potential. β
On the plain, Zheng Shu, who was trying to be on guard, suddenly discovered something, looked up suddenly, and saw an arrow full of magical brilliance falling from the sky.
After calculating the landing point of the bow and arrow, Zheng Shu moved two steps lightly to dodge.
However, he did not feel any relaxation, because Caron usually did not have such obvious outward characteristics when shooting arrows, and the fact that this arrow was so easily spotted only meant that it was just a decoy, and that there should be other arrows shooting at him secretly.
Finally, with Zheng Shu's unremitting efforts, he found another arrow that shot from the original visual blind spot.
Taking another light step to the side, Zheng Shu suddenly felt a tingling of his scalp, and without thinking about it, he jumped up from the ground suddenly.
The moment he jumped, a bow and arrow shot completely close to the ground flew past the soles of his feet.
Powered by magic, the bow and arrow kept changing direction above the ground like a fish to ensure that it remained in Zheng Shu's visual blind spot at all times. Coupled with the cover of the grass on the grassland, if it weren't for the sudden feeling, Zheng Shu might really be hit.
Before Zheng Shu felt proud, the feeling of numbness in the scalp continued to come, and Zheng Shu, who had just jumped up and was still clubbed in mid-air, turned his head to look in one direction, and the bones of his neck even made a "click" sound.
In the distance, on the cliff, he saw a faint flash of lightβit was a flash of magic.
With Zheng Shu's eyesight, even from a distance of several kilometers, he could see the smile on the corner of his teacher's mouth and his lips opening and closing in the distance.
Through the shape of the movement of Caron's lips, Zheng Shu immediately read what he said: "Well done, but you can't dodge." β
A huge amount of magic power erupted from Charon's body, and in an instant, it converged into the bow and arrow in his hand, causing the bow and arrow originally made of wood to emit a dazzling magical light, as if it had become an arrow made of light.
Rumble!
A deafening voice came, and this time Keron did not make any trace of disguise, just let go of the bow and arrow in his hand straight, and launched an "artillery bombardment" on the students in his distance.
With the blessing of a large amount of magic power, the bow and arrow broke through several times the speed of sound the moment it left his hand, and the arrow shot through the air with a long magical tail flame, and a beautiful sonic boom cloud hung on the tail of the arrow, and it arrived in front of Zheng Shu in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Zheng Shu discovered Keron's intention to shoot a little earlier, and before the arrow was about to arrive, he finally slapped it to the other side.
Boom!
The arm that shone with magical light shattered the air, and with the help of the shock wave's recoil, Zheng Shu adjusted his posture in mid-air a little.
With the help of this point of displacement, Zheng Shu avoided the direct shot of the bow and arrow, and the arrows that radiated light grazed Zheng Shu's body and flashed straight into the ground.
Rumble!!!
After a moment of silence, a deafening explosion came from underground.
The ground, which had been solid, seemed to turn into liquid in an instant, and the entire plain seemed to be fluctuating, and a powerful explosion ejected a large amount of earth into the air, as if setting off a tsunami of mud.
Zheng Shu, who had not yet had time to land, was directly blasted away by the shockwave, but in mid-air, Zheng Shu's seemingly huge and bloated body was as sensitive as a petrel, and he flew up and down with the airflow of the shockwave lightly, dodging every stone and dirt that wanted to hit him.
Until Zheng Shu landed safely, except for a thin layer of dust, his body was not directly hit by any clods of earth and gravel.
"Hoo ......"
After finally getting his feet on the ground, Zheng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, checked his body, and confirmed that he had survived the attack perfectly, Zheng Shu's face couldn't help but show a smug smile.
Turning his head to look at Karon's position, the centaur had already taken a step towards Zheng Shu.
With a wave of his hand, Zheng Shugang wanted to show off his grades to his teacher, but suddenly felt a familiar tingling of his scalp.
"Grass!"
scolded secretly, Zheng Shu didn't have time to think about anything, so he could only hide to the side in the direction he felt.
Syllable!
A crisp explosion came from Zheng Shu's side, it was an arrow that emitted a dim magical light, the same one that Caron had used as a decoy to shoot down from high in the sky in the first place.
Zheng Shu had even forgotten its existence after avoiding it, but he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, the arrow, which seemed to be a decoy, made the final blow.
Looking at the chaotic wreckage that flew towards him, Zheng Shu's brain suddenly became strange, and he found that he seemed to be able to predict the flight path behind these wreckage, as if an invisible paintbrush helped him mark the flight path of these wreckage.
Swish!
The wreckage of bows and arrows flew by, but none of them could kill Zheng Shu, Zheng Shu seemed to just move a few steps at random, and easily dodged all the wreckage that shot at him.
The piece of wreckage closest to Zheng Shu even grazed his nose, but Zheng Shu didn't make much movement when he looked at the object flying in front of his eyes, he just waved his head slightly and dodged it by a fraction of a second.
"Oh...... It's kind of interesting, am I considered a success? Zheng Shu looked at the ground that had been shot into a sieve by the wreckage and was a little amazed.
Thinking back to the trajectories that came to his mind when he faced these wrecks just now, Zheng Shu suspected that if he had a Heroic Spirit Panel on his body now, he might have something like "avoiding arrows and protecting them".
"Good!" Caron's relieved voice came from behind Zheng Shu, and after such a delay, he had already run to Zheng Shu's vicinity.
Looking at it, Caron's eyes were full of satisfaction: "Very good, your progress is much faster than I expected, so this stage of training is completed." β
Hearing his teacher's praise, Zheng Shu bowed slightly to Karon: "This is thanks to your guidance, teacher." β
Charon shook his head, and raised his hand to condense a magical plane that was enough to reflect the scene: "There are many people who have come into contact with my guidance, but I have only seen Heracrosss except you who can progress so quickly. And unlike that little guy, this talent of yours makes it a lot easier for me to coach you. β
Putting the magic mirror in front of Zheng Shu, Caron also looked very satisfied: "Let's see, after completing the trial just now, your appearance has now changed drastically. β
Zheng Shu glanced at his own appearance reflected in the magic mirror, although his face was now full of dust, he could still see that inside the mirror was a young man with a very hard and handsome face.
Before the trial this morning, Zheng Shu had just seen his appearance, and compared to that time, his current appearance had obviously risen a little bit.
Regarding Zheng Shu's appearance change, in fact, the second skill was described at the beginning.
Unknown Beauty: Your true appearance will become extremely handsome, and will become more beautiful as you grow in strength and age, but others will only see a very ordinary face when they see your appearance.
The focus of Zheng Shu's use this time is the description of "As your strength and age improve, you will become more beautiful".
In fact, Zheng Shu has been taking advantage of this trait a long time ago, in addition to the influence of age, in most cases, if his appearance suddenly changes drastically, it is basically because of the change in his strength.
For example, when Zheng Shu was learning how to use magic with Vera before, the reason why he was able to learn to "release magic power" at such a fast speed was because Zheng Shu used this property of the second skill of the panel.
Even when learning various combat techniques with Keron, every time he learned a skill, Zheng Shu would observe whether his appearance had changed to a certain extent.
If there is a change, it means that the direction of your practice is correct, if there is no change or the change is not obvious, it means that your current learning method is not suitable or you are practicing in the wrong direction.
At first, when Caron saw his students running to the pool every day to observe his appearance, Charon admonished him with some concern, advising him not to be too obsessed with his appearance.
After all, in ancient Greek mythology, there is a lesson to be learned from the tragedy that occurred because of being too obsessed with oneself.
As a centaur, Caron could naturally see Zheng Shu's true face, so he was particularly worried about this problem of his students at first.
However, as a teacher's professionalism, Ka Rong quickly realized the law of changes in Zheng Shu's appearance, and sometimes even changed his appearance on the spot because of Zheng Shu's sudden comprehension of a certain skill.
Part of the reason why Zheng Shu's subsequent training plan became so radical was because Kajon fully understood the law of his appearance after talking to Zheng Shu.
Although the "appearance" metric is a bit vague, it is completely incomparable to the kind of plug-in that directly displays the percentage.
But for Charon, the top teacher in ancient Greece, as long as there is such a vague reference point, he can fully grasp Zheng Shu's training situation.
And then...... As long as you don't die, you can practice to death!
The final result was that it only took Zheng Shu a little more than a month to fully master the methods of dodging various attacks during battle.
"Well, it looks like I'm making a lot of progress." Zheng Shu touched his chin in the mirror, and his face was stinky.
Caron didn't say anything when he looked at his student's movements, just shook his head with a smile: "I really didn't expect that there was such a magical talent in this world, and I never thought that someone would have such a talent before I met you."
It's a pity that your appearance can't be seen by ordinary people, which will hinder your reputation in the future. Fortunately, even if they can't see you, you're strong enough to conquer people. β
"In my opinion, it's a good thing that ordinary people can't see me, and I don't want to be famous." Zheng Shu shrugged his shoulders.
"That's right, the reason you seek power is not to preach your glory in the first place." Charon nodded and his expression became serious, "Now that you've completed your primary training, now we can move on to the next one." β
After hearing this, Zheng Shu's face also became serious: "Yes! I'm going to keep bothering you later, teacher! β
