[Welco Hunter to use the Trial Field, please choose a mode.]
[Auxiliary Mode / Actual Combat Mode]
Su Xiao chose Auxiliary Mode.
[Auxiliary Mode selected, please choose the summoning mirror image level.]
[Low-level Image] 100 Paradise coins per hour.
[Interdiate-level Image] 1000 Paradise coins per hour.
[High-level Image] 10000 Paradise coins per hour.
Su Xiao pondered for a mont. He had always chosen to summon [Interdiate-level Image], and now he had 11947 Paradise coins left. If he summoned [High-level Image], he would only have 1947 Paradise coins left.
However, Su Xiao could use 1947 Paradise coins to produce [Interdiate Mind Bomb], making a net profit of about 4700 Paradise coins. Including the cost, it totals more than 6600 Paradise coins, which is enough for him to buy supplies.
[High-level Image] requires 10000 Paradise coins. In Reincarnation Paradise, you get what you pay for. Su Xiao decided to take a gamble.
He recently felt that his swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck and urgently needed guidance from a strong individual.
"Summon... High-level Image."
[You have chosen to summon High-level Image. Randomly summoning...]
[Selection successful, beginning to summon Joracel Mihawk!]
Su Xiao stood in place, dumbfounded that he had randomly summoned Hawkeye. The High-level Image was indeed extraordinary.
Light gathered, and the figure of Hawkeye·Joracel Mihawk beca clearer, with a height of about two ters, a black long windbreaker, and a black top hat adorned with white fluffy trim.
A black wide-blade long knife was strapped to his back, with a hilt at least half a ter long, resembling a cross inlaid with gemstones. This was the top-level weapon in the Pirate World, Black Blade Night.
Hawkeye slowly opened his eyes, a pair of deep yellow pupils, identical to the eyes of an eagle, hence the na Hawkeye.
"Solid fundantals, but swordsmanship needs improvent."
Hawkeye spoke, scrutinizing Su Xiao from top to bottom.
"Do you have a habit of ditation?"
Su Xiao felt slightly surprised, wondering how the other person knew.
"I ditate every day."
"That makes things much easier."
Hawkeye slowly drew the Black Blade Night from his back.
"I’m not used to verbal teaching; I’ll let you personally experience the difference instead."
As soon as the words fell, Hawkeye was already in front of Su Xiao, gripping the hilt of the Black Blade Night with both hands. Su Xiao couldn’t see the exact way he wielded the sword—it was too fast. The black blade slashed into Su Xiao’s chest.
Splurt, blood splattered.
Su Xiao’s chest went numb, and his entire body fell backward uncontrollably.
He was rather dejected, spending 10000 Paradise coins to summon Hawkeye, not to have him cut down.
With a thud, Su Xiao fell to the ground, a half-ter-long cut appeared on his chest, blood gushed out, and a few seconds later, the wound healed.
"Did you feel anything?"
Hawkeye sheathed the sword.
Su Xiao sat on the ground in contemplation, this strike, in terms of power, speed, and angle, was perfect.
"I feel..."
Su Xiao’s words halted. He couldn’t articulate the sensation, Hawkeye’s cleave was different from his own, it seed to have a unique flavor.
"An issue with artistic conception?"
Su Xiao looked at Hawkeye.
"No, it’s about understanding yourself and why you wield a weapon."
"I do it for... revenge."
Hawkeye walked over to Su Xiao.
"Whether for revenge or to beco stronger, it’s a form of belief. Fight with your belief, not just swing a weapon with muscle. If that’s the case, your achievents won’t be high..."
An hour wasn’t long, Hawkeye didn’t teach Su Xiao any moves or weapon techniques; he emphasized one point: Don’t use brute force to wield a weapon.
As Hawkeye’s image disappeared, Su Xiao remained seated on the ground.
"Belief... the rhythm of objects... the blade in hand."
Su Xiao held the Dragon Slash, unconsciously slashing.
"No, combat isn’t about brute force."
Su Xiao slashed again, repeating the motion while seated, attempting to capture the essence of Hawkeye’s strike.
Ti passed unnoticed until a rumbling stomach brought Su Xiao back to reality.
"Is it already 2 a.m.?"
Su Xiao stood up, and as he was about to leave the Trial Field, he suddenly stopped, eyes filled with disbelief.
[Swordsmanship Expertise has increased to Lv.12.]
[Swordsmanship Expertise has increased to Lv.13.]
[Swordsmanship Expertise has increased to Lv.14.]
His Swordsmanship Expertise rose by 3 levels, sothing he hadn’t anticipated.
"Is the effect of High-level Image this strong?"
Su Xiao was puzzled. Although [High-level Image] costs 10,000 Paradise coins per hour, it never had such an effect.
This might be the accumulation over ti, intense battles, daily ditations, and his passion for swordsmanship.
Today, under Hawkeye’s guidance, all these factors linked together, causing his Swordsmanship Expertise to rise by 3 levels.
Su Xiao imdiately checked the changes in Swordsmanship Expertise.
Swordsmanship Expertise: LV.14. (Passive)
Skill Effect: Increases close combat attack power by 40% and sword-type weapon proficiency.
Level 10 Additional Ability
Rule of All Things (Interdiate): This ability cannot be strengthened in Reincarnation Paradise, only through Hunter’s self-realization.
...
Not only did his Swordsmanship Expertise increase by 3 levels, but Rule of All Things also upgraded to Interdiate.
Su Xiao’s swordsmanship had begun to grasp the basics, different from simply using brute force before.
With Dragon Slash rising to Purple Quality and his Swordsmanship Expertise greatly advancing, his strength visibly improved.
Su Xiao took a deep breath, adjusting to his optimal state, slowly gripping the knife handle.
Clang.
A silver thread sliced through the air in front of him, lingering for a second before disappearing.
"This feeling, is it Blade Aura?"
Su Xiao faintly felt that when his Swordsmanship Expertise reached level 20, he might be able to unleash Blade Aura, which would significantly elevate his dium to long-range killing capacity.
This delighted Su Xiao, as the three main attributes of Shadow of Annihilation Law were about to reach 30 points. Upon unlocking new skills, he would undergo a transformation in overall strength.
Although Su Xiao wanted to test his swordsmanship in the arena, his body clearly prohibited it; waves of fatigue washed over him.
Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room to rest. In that safe haven, he could relax peacefully, but a ssage disturbed his repose as he slept deeply.
’The commission is completed, co anyti.’
Waking up confused, the vague ssage mystified Su Xiao, but upon checking the sender, he understood—it was about the [Minotaur Lord’s Arm Armor].
Su Xiao pushed aside the cloth over Bubute Ni, having had an odd dream where he fought with a millstone strapped to his waist, and that was part of a task from Reincarnation Paradise...
With a bemused kick at Bubute Ni, Su Xiao got dressed and left his exclusive room, while Bubute Ni continued to sleep soundly.
The bald old man was efficient; although the arrangent was to pick up the goods tomorrow, it was ready today.
After searching for about twenty minutes, Su Xiao found the bald old man’s shop. He had been there once before but still found it difficult to locate, hence the poor business.
In the shop, besides the bald old man, there were other people—two Contractors were having weapons forged.
"7000 Paradise coins are too expensive. I spent 30000 Paradise coins just buying these Blue Materials, I’ll offer at most 5000 Paradise coins for the forging fee."
The bald old man was serving a custor, and Su Xiao waited quietly; it was impolite to interrupt, first co, first served.
The bald old man curled his mouth and said, "Bicker all you want, 7000 Paradise coins, no bargaining, did your PE teacher teach you language classes? Can’t you understand plain words? Dumb*ss."
The bald old man’s attitude was poor. He threw the materials back at the Contractor with a look that said "take it or leave, I don’t care."
"You..."
The Contractor’s lips trembled in anger, but his companion spoke up.
"Iron Hamr, it’s not good to insult others, communication between people should..."
A middle-aged man with golden glasses began a lengthy discussion, seeming acquainted with the bald old man. After five minutes, the old man’s forehead veins throbbed.
The bald old man couldn’t endure the chatter from the man with the golden glasses and pointed at the door, roaring: "Get out!!"
"Iron Hamr, you’re not young anymore, anger harms the liver, I heard that I... (three thousand words omitted)
