Chapter 56 Competition and the Legend of the Witcher
According to the Fandelin brothers, because gold-level masters have become perfect in all aspects of their bodies, they are also called perfect humans and golden bloodlines. Each one is a first-level deterrent weapon for the country. Most of them are kept secret. Here in the New World
Gold-level existences are even rarer, and they don't know much about them.
Maybe you meet a gold-level master on a certain occasion, and you won't be able to recognize him!
According to the classification of ancient mythology, humans are actually called the black iron race. Their talents are far inferior to the golden races such as giants and dragons that once ruled the world, as well as elves and dwarves who are stronger and have longer lifespans.
The silver race is not as good as even the bronze race of some of their subraces.
However, the fact that has been going on for thousands of years is that humans are now dominating the earth. Even the giant dragons with natural life spans of thousands of years have become extinct, and they can no longer be seen flying in the sky.
This is entirely because humans are a very adaptable race. Even if it is only the Black Iron race, with its huge population base, there has always been a shortage of strong men in the Silver and Gold ranks.
After thinking about it, John couldn't help but excitedly said to Arthur:
"Are you interested in giving it a try?"
Arthur Vanderlin was also very interested and said:
"Of course, you don't mind if I use my sword and shield, right?"
Without transforming, he is ostensibly a Level 2 Knight professional. This is the training he received when he was a child. Later, after his family lost, he was no longer in a position to continue learning. However, with the strong physique brought by his extraordinary blood, in addition to
No warrior's combat skills that require professional training to master are comparable to those of a level 5 warrior.
This is already a strength second only to the extraordinary and powerful. It is also one of the reasons why Arthur can lead a group of people to fight against the federal government and still get away with it today.
After all, people from traditional noble backgrounds in the Holy Empire usually choose the knight profession. Otherwise, people like John who were trained as noble ministers or ordinary noble children would choose swordsmen, which is more convenient. After all, times have changed, with the emergence of steam muskets.
Heavy armored knights have been eliminated, and traditional knights are basically no longer seen except in conservative areas.
In fact, both knights and swordsmen are professional branches developed by ancient warriors, but in different directions. They can usually work part-time and transform into each other without being affected. Unlike spellcasters and warriors, it is difficult for ordinary people to work part-time, unless they have
Special bloodline, or professions such as rogues and clowns, which focus on agility and tend to focus on shadows and trickery, are usually able to master some low-level spell abilities.
John understands that the path he takes is very different from the professionals in this world. Sword Immortal is never a kind of warrior who only relies on the sword to fight the enemy. Assassin-type practitioners are swordsmen and rangers, not sword immortals. These are not
It's time to talk to the Vanderlin brothers.
"sure."
John didn't care what weapon his opponent used, so that he could show his true ability. After all, the battlefield was changing rapidly and anything could happen.
So the two of them took up positions in the small open space in front of the laboratory.
Arthur took his long sword and one-handed shield. The latter was similar to the iris shield that appeared in the Middle Ages. It was only about one foot and eight inches long and could only protect half of his body on one side of his arm.
And his sword is a knight's half-sword that is wider than John's one-handed sword. Obviously, he is not an opponent who takes the light route.
John's eyes were focused, and the sword in his hand was held tightly and not loosely in the usual starting position of White Crow Swordsmanship, trying to find the opponent's flaws, but at this time, Arthur had already rushed up with his sword and shield.
clang!
The two swords clashed, and John blocked Arthur's brave but rough chop with his one-handed sword. It must be said that the opponent's power was really strong. John could see that the opponent still had some strength left, but the power coming from his hand was already shocking.
He had to take two steps back to change his moves in order to avoid Arthur's next shield attack.
Although there are no exquisite moves, it is these simple and practical moves that prevent John from fully displaying his exquisite swordsmanship, which initially combines the essence of the two worlds.
You can only rely on your own agility to dodge, and try to fight back from time to time.
As for the spiritual power he has mastered, except for spiritual vision that can be activated by thinking, other spells require a certain amount of time and cannot be used in such a fierce battle unless prepared in advance.
The two fought for nearly three minutes before they touched each other's weapons at Arthur's gesture to signify a truce.
After putting away the weapon, John felt that he had gained a lot. He wiped the thin sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief. He was just panting a little, while Arthur Vanderlin's face was already red and dripping with sweat.
This kind of high-intensity battle usually cannot last too long. Even if he has the physical fitness of the wolf bloodline, he cannot continue fighting for too long unless the knight profession reaches level six and opens up the life of "qi"
Energy can greatly enhance durability, many times exceeding that of ordinary people.
From this, it can be seen that John's physique has undergone a fundamental transformation after the ritual transformation.
"congratulations!"
"Isn't this amazing? Arthur once fought a level 5 warrior with his sword and shield."
Joe and Dashiell came up with surprised faces to congratulate John on the success of the ceremony.
Arthur praised: "In my opinion, Sergeant Walker's physical fitness has reached the level of a level 4 warrior in terms of endurance and speed. Although his strength is inferior, his swordsmanship is very good, and his overall strength is better than that of a level 5 warrior who has reached the limit of mortals."
It’s not much different, maybe after returning to the main world, if we meet again soon, you will already be an official transcendent!”
As he said that, Arthur showed a look of envy. Compared with his brothers who had been in exile since their youth and finally came to the New World, the young noble in front of him, although he was only a retainer of the Hessenser family, could accept it.
With such superb swordsmanship training, the gap between nobles and nobles is so huge.
John nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. The other party's explanation was similar to his own analysis. He estimated that when he first awakened to the mystery of the womb, he should have reached the level of a level 2 swordsman based on years of sword training. Now, regardless of physical strength,
His endurance and reaction speed have improved a lot, and his strength can be said to have doubled. Although he is still in the entry-level stage, he is not far away from being officially extraordinary at level 6.
But I still said modestly:
"Actually, this ritual can be even more perfect, but unfortunately I haven't found the organs of extraordinary creatures. And even now, I can only exert about 30% of the effect of the ritual. There are still more potentials waiting to be discovered."
What he said is correct. The effect of the foundation building method of the five-party refining method is to change the practitioner's basic qualifications and make them evolve towards the state of the innate body. This evolution is subtle. The pain just now is just a change.
After the fundamental qualitative changes, the remaining quantitative changes will need to be supplemented by taking nutritious food and medicine for a period of time. After all, energy cannot appear out of thin air.
However, the three Fandelin brothers couldn't help but feel as if someone was pretending to be low-key in front of them, and what the key person said was still true, and you had nowhere to say it.
Arthur Vanderlin was choked by John and changed the subject and said:
"Actually, Chief Walker, looking at your ritual, I feel it is somewhat similar to an ancient profession I've heard of called a witcher.
"Witcher?"
John couldn't help but think of a game he played in his previous life.
