Chapter 6: The Second Coming
signed the contract, and Qi Lin naturally became his own person in Zhang Zizai's eyes. The first perk is a complete set of custom-made equipment.
"187 cm tall and 80 kg in weight...... Zhang Zizai called a helper and completed the entry of Qi Lone's body type data with the cooperation of Qi Lone.
After determining the body type, Zhang Zizi put out several practice weapons of different lengths and widths for Qi Lin to try, and finally came up with the weapon shape that Qi Lin thought was comfortable to use: "Weapon, long-handled straight knife, length 130 cm, width 2.8 cm, weight 1.5 kg...... Do you have any other special requests? ”
Qi Lin shook his head, he actually didn't have a particularly favorite weapon style, and he chose the straight knife just because this weapon was currently the most used, and it was relatively convenient.
"The right armor and weapons account for at least 20% of the success factor, and you have to keep feedback on changes in your equipment needs in the future." After entering the state of coaching, Zhang Zizai's attitude towards Qi Lin became much more serious.
After completing the equipment customization, Zhang Zizai asked Qi Lin to rest as soon as possible and adjust his condition, and he was ready to formally test Qi Lian's physical functions in all aspects tomorrow in order to formulate a suitable training plan.
In the evening, Qi Lin returned home.
Suddenly, from a social animal office worker, to an athlete who eats public meals, the change of identity made Qi Lin a little confused after returning home.
Unable to think of what to do, Qi Lin picked up the practice knife he borrowed from Zhang Zizai, and continued to practice the basic posture and knife he had learned during the day in the living room, and practiced the stabbing stunt obtained from the Tower of Transcendence a few times from time to time.
After sweating, my mood gradually calmed down.
At night, with anticipation and apprehension for the Tower of Transcendence, Qi Lin closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
Falling, spinning, nothingness –
Qi Lin suddenly opened his eyes and came to a familiar place again.
【Tower of Transcendence, Human Level, 1st Floor (Surpassed)】
[Current Transcendence 22, Spirituality 100/100]
【Please select: Enter the lower level or stay in this level】
[Enter the lower level: encounter a new obstructor, seize the spirit after killing, gain skills, and lose the spirit after being killed]
[Stay in this layer: reproduce the projection of the obstructor on this layer, there is no gain or loss in killing and being killed, and return to the present world after ten battles with the projection]
The subtitles are displayed in front of you, and it seems that Qi Lin can't move on to the next move without making a choice. After a brief thought, Qi Lin chose to stay.
There are two reasons for this.
One is that the Sakura Wanderer at the current level, in essence, his martial arts are much higher than him, and if he doesn't use the trick of "double killing", his hard power is almost impossible to defeat, and he is just used to sparring and hone his skills.
The second is that if you choose to "stay" and have no loss, but choose to challenge the next layer, you may encounter an enemy who can't be defeated at all, and you can't turn the tables if you are killed a hundred times and lose your spirituality directly.
Dogs know how to choose.
[Select Stay in this layer, the number of times this layer can be left is 9 times]
The subtitles disappeared, and Qi Lin also gained control of his body. Looking around, he was in the stone room with the weapons rack, and the next room was the room where Sakura Rogue was.
After knowing that there was an option to stay, Qi Lian's worries about the future were greatly alleviated, and now he was in a good state of mind, and he took off the ring head knife on the weapon rack without hurry, and walked into the enemy's room.
On the other side, the familiar cherry blossom rogue slowly stood up.
Qi Lin thought for a while, and put on a posture of the Ignorant Sword that looked like a flat blue eye.
No conversation, no greetings.
The two rushed towards each other and then shot almost at the same time!
Sword of Ignorance: A Thrust!
The sound of two weapons stabbing through the air at high speed rang out.
In the previous fight, Sakura Drifter has always held the right of first attack with his swift thrusts.
Now, Qi Lin has also learned this trick, and even an upgraded version of this trick, with a ring head knife that is half longer than the opponent's knife, and takes the lead in sending the tip of the knife to the other party's eyes!
The ronin reacted quickly and skillfully, paused quickly when he was about to be hit, immediately retracted his old spike, and quickly cleared the tip of Qi Shi's knife.
From here, it can be seen that the level of this drifter is indeed far stronger than the club's Coach Yang and others, and they can't even touch Qi Lian's first thrust.
Qi Lone's assault posture continued unabated, and before the second step was taken, he had already returned his hand and stabbed again.
Second paragraph!
The first stage was blocked, which was predictable, and the real killing move was the second stage of assassination after being withdrawn in an instant.
The sharp blade quickly approached the rogue's chest, threatening to break through the skin and sink into it.
"Bell!" There was a loud bang, and in a desperate situation, the Sakura Wanderer suddenly raised his hand, hit the knife up, and swept away the blade of Qi Silence, and his body retreated rapidly, and he could avoid the attack.
A deep bony wound began in the Rogue Drifter's heart and spread to his right shoulder.
Dodged, but not completely.
Qi was silent for a moment, unable to pursue, so he could only stand in place and breathe.
A stunt beyond conventional perception is by no means without a price to use.
As if he didn't know what the pain was, Sakura Drifter adjusted his posture and rushed towards Qi Lin again, the blade slashing down, and the pouring sword light was like a waterfall.
Qi Lian's arm was still sore, and he barely raised his knife to block the drifter's slash, but his posture was instantly split.
Drifter is not a coach, and will not give Qi Lin a chance to make moves and breathe, after gaining the advantage, he presses step by step, and slashes five times in a row in an instant, each of which accurately slashes at the weak point of Qi Lone's block, completely breaking Qi Lone's posture.
Immediately after that, he pierced his heart with a knife and mercilessly sent Qi Lin back to the resurrection point.
……
Qi Lin stood in the stone room of resurrection and summed up the gains and losses, and realized several key points.
The first is that the second thrust of the Ignorant Sword requires extremely strong explosive power, and it will also overload his breath and arm muscle strength, which is a hole card that must be effective once it is used, and is not suitable for regular use.
The second is to once again verify that Sakura Ronin's knife skills are superb, unless he deliberately uses a double-kill tactic at the beginning as before, once he makes contact, he will be quickly defeated by the opponent's continuous slashing like a stormy wave.
The skills of the two sides are not at the same level at all, and the skill level of Sakura Ronin has obviously surpassed "ordinary people" like Coach Yang, Coach Liu and Qi Lian, and has reached the "next stage".
As for what stage it is, you can find Coach Zhang Zizai to verify it tomorrow.
After the analysis, Qi Lin accepted the fact that if he didn't rely on double killing, his current strength would be neither able to match nor outwit Sakura Wanderer.
So he adjusted his goal from "killing the opponent" to holding on to the opponent's attack as long as possible, and exercised his stance stability and blocking ability!
After determining the goal, Qi Lin picked up the ring head knife and rushed into the boss room again.
This night, Qi Lian's injuries totaled about the same as Ling Chi, and correspondingly, the time he could support under the Sakura Ronin increased from less than ten moves to a maximum of nearly thirty moves.
Progress is fast!
