The training ground in the palace is very high-end, and there is no shortage of training facilities with various functions. The powerful psychic protection makes the venue difficult to destroy, and the huge area can be used by high-level combatants to perform freely.
Rhodes used 100,000 silver cords to open a top-notch training ground.
What makes it different from other training grounds is that it has two measuring crystals. One can measure instantaneous psychic energy fluctuations and calculate the consumption of psychic energy based on this, and the other can estimate the destructive power caused by attacks.
Rhodes took a test and found that he had accumulated the power with his bare hands to the limit, and the destructive power of the strongest blow could reach 1000.
The power of the fast star shuttle is 800, and the power of the complete star shuttle is about 5000.
The power of the Deep Sea Diver's trident is increased by about 20%, consuming additional spiritual energy.
The Executor's Gloves reduce the speed of fast shuttles by one-third and increase the power of full shuttles by one-third.
What surprised Rhodes was that the spiritual energy consumption of the complete star shuttle was only twice that of the fast star shuttle, but the power was more than six times.
It seems that the incomplete star shuttle is indeed incomplete, consumes a lot of money, is very weak in power, and has extremely low cost performance.
It should be used as little as possible in the future and cannot be used as the main means of combat.
The star sword condensed from stardust is surprisingly effective. The destructive power of Rhodes' full-strength slash can reach about 2000, which is twice as powerful as his bare hands.
It seems that fighting with a long sword can become my main method.
Rhodes thought secretly.
Although condensing a stardust sword consumes a lot of spiritual energy, it is much more cost-effective than using a star shuttle.
The last test was the Psychic Duo.
Of course, considering that the upper limit of the metering crystal to withstand attacks is 10,000, Rhodes did not last long.
The initial power of the Psychic Duo is only 500, which doubles every two seconds.
It seemed low, but it exceeded it at the tenth second, which was enough to break the meter crystal. Rhodes stopped at the eighth second.
When he was in the Trident River area, the insect queen held on for a full 22 seconds, and the power of the psychic multiplayer increased a full 2048 times. If the metering crystal could withstand it, then he would see an astonishing number of up to 1 million. When Rhodes calculated the specific numbers in his mind, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
From this point of view, the insect queen is actually stronger than he thought. If he uses normal combat methods, he doesn't know how long the fight will last.
Three "very great souls" may be harder to obtain than imagined.
Rhodes felt slightly sad.
Psychic Duo and Infinite Awakening are taboo methods and cannot be used lightly.
But then I thought about it, the Worm Queen is just an incomplete "very great soul", and the Nightmare Lord is a complete "very great soul". Doesn't that prove that the Nightmare Lord is more powerful than the Worm Queen?
It only took four rounds of spiritual strikes to kill Mengjing.
Then, isn’t the power of the spiritual world attack very powerful?
Rhodes suddenly felt happy.
If I have enough divinity and kill more monsters like the Nightmare Lord, wouldn't I be able to gather three "very great souls" soon?
Hahaha!
It is indeed a dream, these 10 points of divinity are not in vain!
Finally, Rhodes tested the eighth star [Phantom of Wind] he had just obtained.
As soon as he thought, his spiritual energy penetrated into the star, triggering the law in a specific trajectory. Strange fluctuations condensed in front of his eyes, and a translucent phantom appeared in front of him.
It is exactly the same as me, and even the equipment on it is the same. If it were not for the translucent phantom form, it would be another me.
Rhodes tried it, but the shadow did not have any intelligence and needed to accept his full control.
When he concentrated, the picture in front of him became two halves. One side was his own vision, and the other was the shadow's vision. He could completely control the shadow, just like controlling another self.
Not only all abilities, but also psychic abilities are unimpeded.
Rhodes vaguely felt that the shadow had a very wonderful connection with his soul. Everything about him seemed to be projected into the shadow. The spiritual energy disappeared from his body and poured out of the shadow without any loss.
It's as if the shadow is an extension of his soul.
He uses his shadow to attack the metering crystal, and its power is exactly the same as his body.
Rhodes was delighted. One me became two me. Doesn't this mean that his strength doubled?
Even more than doubled.
If the monster is very powerful, it will be difficult for me to parry one, but it will be different for two of me. One will parry in front, and the other will sneak attack from behind.
Attacked from both front and back, wouldn't the enemy become a sandwich biscuit?
Even multiple psychic powers can be released twice as much!
If you encounter a monster like the Queen of Insects again, you may not need to be furious in the void, and you can kill it directly!
Haha!
Rhodes' blood boiled for a moment, and he just wanted the flame symbol on his collar to light up immediately, adjust his battle order to the front line, and let him join the battlefield again.
[Phantom of Wind] is simply too strong!
The only disadvantage is that any activity of the shadow requires spiritual energy, which is double that of the main body.
The core is still psychic energy!
Psychic power is everything!
I want to light the ninth star!
Rhodes was excited and worked harder to train swordsmanship in the training ground.
This is the most energy-saving strategy. Under the same energy consumption, it can cause the most damage.
Next is the Star Shuttle.
The lowest is the Psionic Duo.
Although it is extremely powerful, its spiritual energy consumption is astonishing and completely disproportionate.
Now, the total amount of Rhodes' psychic energy has reached 20 tracks. Whether it is [Bitter Blue] or the rocking chair in the House of God, the recovery effect is not obvious.
The only way to recover quickly without too many side effects is to take drugs.
However, all kinds of psychic potions and red soul crystals cannot be taken indefinitely. He must carefully calculate every drop of psychic energy and not waste it wantonly.
Practice your sword!
Long swords and big swords are my main fighting methods!
A real man wants to kill the monster face to face.
All psychic cannons and psychic missiles are the actions of a coward and I don’t use them!
——
In the training ground, the sound of the whistling sword wind continued to sound. Rhodes was doing two things, controlling himself and the phantom to practice at the same time, so as to adapt to the use of [Wind Phantom] as soon as possible.
With the bonus of [Sense of God], Rhodes adapted quickly, and within a moment, he was able to control the phantom to fight with him.
While he was immersed in the pleasure of rapid growth in strength, a voice interrupted him.
"You're practicing wrongly."
Rhodes stopped and turned around to look. It turned out that an old man was standing on the sidelines, looking at him with bright eyes.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The old man's face was wrinkled and he looked very old, but he was energetic, his back was straight, and his steps and stance were very ordinary. However, Rhodes could vaguely feel the murderous intention in it, so he asked.
"My name is Galen." The old man said calmly: "I am good at using swords, daggers, straight swords, curved swords, large swords, and extra large swords. They are all within my scope."
He took a step forward and entered the field.
"Your movements are very skillful, like a veteran who has practiced for decades, but without God, you are not a master."
Rhodes was shocked. His skills had indeed reached their peak very early. The super learning ability given to him by [God's Sense] allowed him to master almost all mid-to-high-level combat skills, and he was very familiar with them.
But for some reason, when used on the battlefield, the effect is not very good. Many warriors with weaker skills than him exert greater power than him.
He asked politely: "Your Excellency Galen, what should I do?"
The old man glanced at him: "They all call me Master Galen."
"Master, what should I do?"
The old man raised his wrist, and Rhodes passed the Stardust sword wisely.
"The sword is good."
The old man praised.
"I really envy you for having such a soul creation."
He turned his wrist, and the long sword drew a dazzling trajectory in the air.
After just a few turns, Rhodes clearly felt that the old man had become different, but he couldn't tell what was different.
"Watch it!"
The old man drew his sword quickly, and the long sword struck the measurement crystal without skill.
Bang!
Two measuring crystals showed two numbers respectively.
1345 thousand moments, this is his instant psychic strength, exactly the same as his own.
3911,This is the destructive power caused by his sword.
Rhodes opened his mouth wide, how could it be so different?
The old man's force-generating skills are indeed very good, but he is at most half a level better than me.
A few hundred more is acceptable, but what’s going on when it’s almost doubled?
As if he knew what Rhodes was thinking, the old man said calmly: "The difference lies in God."
Rhodes looked at him with doubtful eyes.
The old man continued: "The essence of the power of the sword lies in the strength, and the strength depends on the strength of the spiritual energy."
"The turbulent spirit can turn into power according to your will and bear the impact of the power."
"It works every moment when you swing your sword. Every time particle, your spiritual energy is pushing your arm. Billions of time particles come down, and your sword strikes out." "However, in every particle of time, your power is not perfect, and a lot of power is wasted."
"It is impossible for you to achieve perfection in every moment. Except for the real God, no one has such ability."
"So, what you need to rely on at this time is your instinct, your feeling, and your God."
"Skills only determine your lower limit, while your god determines your upper limit."
At this moment, Rhodes felt as if a door to a new world was opening in front of his eyes.
Many doubts that had been troubling my heart for a long time suddenly became clear.
No wonder he made no progress no matter how hard he practiced.
[Sense of God] indeed has great limitations and cannot allow him to obtain the true wisdom of God.
"What should I do?" Rhodes asked hurriedly.
"Swing the sword with your soul, not your hands." The old man said lightly.
Rhodes suddenly realized.
"I understand! When swinging a sword, it's all about emotion, not technique!"
A bright light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he raised his eyes for the first time, as if he was sizing up Rhodes.
And he has fallen into a frenzy, holding a long sword and slashing at the measurement crystal.
501
571
301
……
The power did not increase, but decreased significantly.
The old man said calmly: "Don't think you are training. The monster in front of you is a monster. It killed your parents, relatives and friends. You want revenge."
Bang!
1024
The power was less than half of what it was before, but Rhodes turned his head with ecstasy: "I did it! I feel it!"
The old man said calmly: "Very good, continue."
But his hands were clenched, showing that he was not as calm inside as he appeared.
Rhodes continued to devote himself to training excitedly.
"Hahaha, I'm invincible!"
"Die! You harmful insects, I will kill you all!"
"Ah, my wife! You died so miserably, I want revenge!"
The number representing destructive power climbed steadily, and soon exceeded the peak of skill.
The old man's hands were shaking a little and he had to hold them together.
After Rhodes was identified as a genius with the [Strong] mark, the Jinworth Society began to discuss his training plan.
The old swordmaster Galen, who finally confirmed Rhodes's status as a genius, naturally became the first teacher to implement the plan.
He originally had no intention of teaching Rhodes how to use a sword. After all, Rhodes has always been famous for his weird and numerous abilities, and does not focus on close combat.
Only after seeing Rhodes using a sword in the training ground did he come to teach him master-level combat skills.
But I didn't expect this little guy to learn so quickly. He didn't have any understanding at all, but in the blink of an eye, he actually mastered the skills of soul combat.
Generally speaking, it takes a month for a genius to get started, and a year or even several years for someone with less qualifications.
And it only took him dozens of seconds.
This is a miracle.
Galen had only seen this kind of miracle in one person.
Alan.
Galen's hands shook even more violently, and he had to hold them behind his back.
He is already old and his soul is severely corroded, making it difficult for him to go on the battlefield again. His greatest wish in this life is to cultivate another human hero.
And the person in front of me is hope.
Galen made up his mind in an instant and must tap into his full potential.
In the following period of time, the old sword master Galen corrected every detail of Rhodes in the most severe state.
Fighting with the soul does not mean giving up skills and reason, but integrating skills, reason, and logic into the soul to achieve a state of selflessness.
This requires long-term training and meditation, and it requires experience and understanding through accumulated battles.
Every point of understanding is a point of fighting power.
Old Sword Master Galen told Rhodes.
If your soul feels visibly uncomfortable when you take a wrong blow, you need to eliminate that feeling.
If the soul feels natural, remember this feeling.
Remember the correct ones, eliminate the weak ones, and you will eventually become infinitely stronger.
Rhodes was overjoyed and bowed deeply to the old man: "Thank you, Master Galen, for your guidance. I have reached the threshold!"
Galen said calmly: "Little guy, there is still a long way to go. In a real battle, the force of the sword is just the simplest part. Your steps, body shape, and every movement you make can achieve better results."
."
"What's more difficult is fighting in complicated and dangerous situations. At every moment, you are faced with countless possibilities. How to make the most correct choice is the true realm of God."
"It's difficult to exercise and learn. There can't be two identical battles in this world. You can't acquire this ability through imitation. You can only keep fighting to hone your fighting intuition and trigger the battle at critical moments.
Inspiration."
Rhodes asked curiously: "Can anyone do this?"
Galen replied briefly: "Yes."
"Who?"
"Alan."
"He is an incredible miracle, an unreplicable genius. His intuition for combat is unimaginable to us. He can defeat many enemies that we think are invincible, and the cost is far less than expected."
Rhodes scratched the back of his head. Alan was too powerful and too far away from him. He asked, "Are there any in the new generation?"
Unexpectedly, Galen still replied: "Yes."
"Who?"
"The golden and shining Valkyrie you know, Teresa."
Rhodes' eyes widened: "Her?"
Galen nodded: "You were once in the special class of the secret branch, but at that time, you couldn't feel how special Theresa was. Now that you have all entered the Hall of Fire, I believe that in the near future,
, you will deeply feel her fighting art."
He paused and continued.
"After all, you are all my students."
Rhodes was shocked: "Alan too?"
The wrinkles on Galen's face bloomed layer by layer, and his plain voice could not hide the pride in his words: "Yes."
"Uh, but, I remember Theresa is Teacher Solon's student."
Galen said calmly: "Sauron is also my student."
Poof!
So is that shameless peeping tom!
"Do you have any students?"
Galen thought for a while, and his face was inexplicably sad: "Yes, the undefeated Jessica, she is very special. Her awakened form after the magic is released is a six-armed snake demon. Due to some special reasons, she cannot
Use souls to fight and become my student just to learn the fighting skills of the Six Swords style."
Rhodes was dumbfounded. Isn't Jessica Annabeth's "sisters"?
He also had a brief encounter in the secret branch, and he only remembered her super pretty face and huge body.
"Okay, asking here and there won't help you, keep training!"
"Yes! Master Galen!"
In this way, under the guidance of Galen, Rhodes fully trained in all the most advanced techniques of close combat.
Only now did Rhodes realize how weak he was before.
If it weren't for those powerful abilities and creations, it would be impossible to go so far.
[Sense of God] Finally found the direction of his efforts, Rhodes was like a sponge, absorbing higher-end combat experience crazily, growing at an unprecedented speed.
Not only that, Galen is indeed a master-level figure known as the Old Sword Master. He improved Rhodes's combat system based on various abilities, allowing him to fight longer, more reasonably, and more efficiently.
The most important thing is that he can also choose equipment for him.
"Although your stardust sword is easy to use, its durability is too low. It consumes a lot of psychic energy in high-intensity battles. If you need to fight for a long time, this is a fatal flaw. You should choose a weapon." "This Starry Night is the best for you."
"It comes from the Kingdom of Stars. It was forged by the Queen of Stars herself using the power of the stars. The material is star marrow and the core is source matter. It has strong soul extension."
The long sword "Starry Night" is very beautiful, with a dark purple hilt like the night sky and a sword body as clear as stars.
Rod fell in love with it as soon as he started using it.
What is even more unexpected is that due to the particularity brought about by the source material of "Starry Night", it can be regarded as an extension of Rhodes' soul.
In other words, Rhodes can launch a star shuttle from the tip of his sword, or he can launch a multi-talented psionic energy.
This made Rhodes completely fall in love with it, but the problem is that "Starry Night" is a unique legendary weapon and requires 150 palace badges to redeem it.
Including the gift from Armando, Rhodes only has 75 pieces in total.
However, because he is a rising star, this weapon will greatly improve him. At Galen's suggestion, the Fire Palace owed 75 badges on credit and issued them to him in advance.
After receiving "Starry Night", Rhodes smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth. In the following training, he felt that his whole person was completely transformed, and his long-term combat ability increased dramatically.
At this moment, Rhodes finally felt that he had become a high-level combatant who could stand alone.
He is extremely looking forward to the next combat mission assigned to him by the Fire Palace.
I'm so horny!
——
——
Death place.
Fortress of Courage.
Qingyu, the candidate for the king, stood on the city wall, looking at the overwhelming White Walkers in the distance, and murmured: "What should I do?"
"There are so many White Walkers that I can't even kill them all."
"It would be great if Alan could come... No, no, it's impossible, let's leave it to Teresa and Jessica."
At this time, the white wolf strode over.
"Your Highness! News from the Royal City, supporters have been arranged and will arrive soon."
A Luo quickly asked: "Who is it?"
"The undefeated Jessica, the black loser Rhodes."
Qingyu and Aluo smiled at the same time.
"It's little Rhodes. I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Yeah, Rod is here! We will definitely kill all those hateful White Walkers!"
Bai Lang shook his head: "Jessica is the key, Rhodes is useless."
A Luo glared angrily: "You are not allowed to say that, little Rhodes is super useful."
White Wolf said solemnly: "Rhodes does have many abilities, but he is very short-lasting. They are all explosive attacks. It is useless to fight against the White Walkers by bursting out. You need the ability to fight for a long time. I will write back to the capital to replace him." "No."
Qingyu shook his head.
"Let him come."
Bai Lang asked coldly: "Why? Your Highness, you should know very well that this battle is related to your destiny of being able to spread fire in the future."
