Gao Wu: Invincibility begins with basic archery

"Don't."

Chen Fan was startled and hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhang, please don't."

Zhang Ren couldn't bear it and said, "But this is really unfair to you."

Chen Fan said seriously, "Uncle Zhang, fighting is not a competition in the ring, how can there be fairness? Besides, the more adversity you are in, the faster you grow."

"Not bad."

Zhang Ren was moved by what he said, and saw determination in Chen Fan's eyes.

He thought to himself that perhaps it was with this determination to not fear hardships that he made such rapid progress.

"Then continue."

Chen Fan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has been suppressed and beaten, it would be a lie to say that he is not frustrated.

But the proficiency of [Basic Sword Skills] is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

12.1%, 12.8%, 13.4%...

Each block is an increase of about 0.7%. The most exaggerated time is when Zhang Ren fired five or six shots in a row, and his proficiency directly increased by 5.5%.

How long has it been? Just a few seconds.

If Zhang Ren changed his sword, the speed difference would be too great.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, pulled himself together again, and rushed forward.

The sound of collisions continued on the field.

In less than ten minutes, Chen Fan felt a weak warm current rising in his body, but before he had time to feel it, it disappeared without a trace.

[Basic Sword Skill: lv3 (0%), Characteristics, Power Level 3, Fierce Attack Level 3]

The basic sword skill has been upgraded, but no new characteristics have been unlocked.

However, the level 3 fierce attack characteristic has doubled the speed of the sword, which is still quite impressive.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Ren saw Chen Fan stunned for a moment, and asked with concern: "Do you need to rest for a while?"

"No."

Chen Fan grinned. The speed of the basic sword skill improvement was faster than he had imagined?

It seems that the goal can be achieved tonight, and perhaps it can be upgraded one or two levels?

The higher the level of the basic sword skill, the less time it takes to complete the skills.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward again.

Zhang Ren shook the spear in his hand and stabbed it towards Chen Fan's chest.

There was a crisp sound.

Chen Fan held the spear aside and took a step forward, shortening the distance between the two sides from three meters to about two and a half meters.

"Huh?"

Zhang Ren's eyes showed a hint of surprise. This kid, the speed of using the knife seemed to have become a little faster?

This reminded him that the last time he sparred with Chen Fan, the latter was also like this, constantly improving in the sparring.

However, just like this, wanting to enter his inner circle, or thinking too much.

He pulled the spear back a little, and then, "Shua shua shua" several shots were stabbed out in succession. Chen Fan couldn't help but be a little flustered. He finally blocked all the shots, and then found that the distance between him and Uncle Zhang was pulled to three meters away again.

"We still have to get closer."

Chen Fan withdrew his attention from the skill bar.

When he blocked Zhang Ren's shot before, his proficiency increased by only 0.3%, less than half of the previous one.

But after he got closer by half a meter, his proficiency was close to 1% each time!

What if the distance was within two meters, or even one meter?

Wouldn't the proficiency increase double?

Of course, deliberately letting Uncle Zhang go easy on him would not work. Only by relying on real skills and closing the distance could this effect be achieved.

After calming his breath, he rushed forward again.

Zhang Ren smiled. Last time, he was careless and let this kid rush forward by half a meter. This time, there was no such opportunity.

One minute,

Ten minutes,

Twenty minutes passed.

Almost every time Chen Fan rushed forward, he was stopped three meters away and could not move forward, even a small step.

Only a few times did he rush within three meters.

It was indeed not easy.

But the gains from each rush were also great, with proficiency increasing by at least 3%, and at most 7% or 8%.

After a few times, the cumulative rate was nearly 30%.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

The tip of the gun hit the blade, and Chen Fan took a few steps back again, with a look of regret in his eyes.

He was almost there, almost rushing over.

But at this moment, the familiar warmth rose again, and a strange feeling surged into his heart.

Chen Fan was immediately delighted. Undoubtedly, [Basic Sword Skills] was upgraded again. Not only that, it seemed that new features had been unlocked.

[Basic Sword Skills: lv4 (0%), Features, Power Level 4, Fierce Attack Level 4, Fierce Slash Level 1]

[Fierce Slash: Every time a skill is upgraded, the power of the sword skill increases by 30%]

"I see."

Chen Fan adjusted his sword-holding gesture, and even his whole body posture changed subtly, like a tiger ready to go.

"?"

Zhang Ren narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he saw the shadow of a person from Chen Fan.

That person was a good friend of his, proficient in sword skills, whether it was a single sword, a double sword, or a long sword.

But his most powerful skill is the sword and shield technique.

I fought him ten times with a spear in hand, and won seven times at most. The rest were basically draws, or six wins and four losses.

This was in an open field. If it was in the streets, the result would be hard to predict.

"Uncle Zhang, here he comes."

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he rushed forward quickly.

The next moment, the sound of breaking through the air was heard, and in the blink of an eye, the tip of the gun was in front of him.

Chen Fan held the sword in his right hand and struck from an incredible angle.

A "pop" sound!

The gun in Zhang Ren's hand trembled suddenly.

Chen Fan seized the opportunity, took a lunge, and rushed forward half a meter.

The next moment, the wind roared again, and the gun head left several afterimages in the air, poking hard at him.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, and instead of just blocking with the blade, he used the knife in his hand to meet the opponent's spear head.

After all, the slashing characteristic only takes effect when attacking.

A series of crashing sounds sounded again, this time, the sound was even louder.

"Xiaofan seems to have made progress?"

Gao Yang opened his eyes wide and said.

"Yes, he has been beaten by Lao Zhang before, and was beaten so hard that he couldn't lift his head. This time, he actually rushed over and fought back and forth with Lao Zhang."

"It's so amazing, this kid Xiaofan."

A group of people sighed.

Chen Guodong's face also showed pride.

"This kid is making great progress, isn't he?"

Zhang Ren narrowed his eyes. With only the first level of Body Tempering strength, he was really powerless if he wanted to force Chen Fan back three meters away.

It was even difficult to force them back to 2.5 meters. The two sides now seemed to be engaged in a tug-of-war around the two-meter distance.

But there was more of relief in his eyes.

Because the knife is used to attack, the wielder of the knife must move forward without hesitation, risking death and then surviving.

Some masters of knife use can make people feel a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts with just one strike. This is the so-called momentum.

certainly,

Even so, he still had the advantage.

Because Chen Fan's physical exertion was far greater than his.

This is also true. Chen Fan's breathing was rapid, and the speed of drawing the knife was not as fast as before. Soon, he was stabbed by Zhang Ren and took a few steps back.

"Let's rest for a while."

Zhang Ren put away his gun and said.

"Um."

Chen Fan smiled awkwardly.

He really needed a few minutes to regain his strength.

[Basic knife skills: lv4 (18.5%)...]

In just a few minutes, the proficiency of basic knife skills has gone from 0 to close to 20%, which is naturally due to the shortening of the distance.

But more importantly, we still take the initiative.

When the two sides were two meters apart, his proficiency in parrying with a knife was less than 1%, but if he slashed and hit the head of the gun, his proficiency would jump to 2% or more.

And if he hits, he can also use this precious time to close the distance a little bit.

At that time, the proficiency will increase even more.

With this progress, it is a sure thing to upgrade the basic sword skills to level 5 tonight.

A few minutes later, Chen Fan clenched the wooden knife again.

"alright?"

Zhang Ren asked.

"Well, Uncle Zhang, I'm going to attack."

A smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips and he rushed forward again.

Just like last time, he easily rushed into the distance of two and a half meters, and then it was another hard tug-of-war.

After repeating this several times,

Basic sword skills have been upgraded!

[Basic sword skills: lv5 (0%), characteristics, strong level 5, fierce attack level 5, fierce slash level 2]

Almost at the moment of upgrade, the wooden knife in Chen Fan's hand suddenly accelerated, an afterimage streaked through the air, and struck hard on the head of the gun.

The spear swung far away, making a trembling sound.

"!"

Zhang Ren's eyes suddenly widened.

This boy, has his swordsmanship improved again?

In such a blink of an eye, Chen Fan was already in front of him and stabbed him with a knife.

In almost two hours, this was his first chance to attack Zhang Ren.

The latter took his time and held the gun in front of him.

"Snapped!"

The tip of the knife was immediately blocked.

Chen Fan was not surprised that the thorn turned into a smear.

Zhang Ren quickly tilted his neck back and raised his gun to block the knife.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two men have switched positions offensively and defensively.

Zhang Ren wanted to use the tip of his spear to force Chen Fan back, but the former didn't give him a chance at all. Every blow was hard and fast, and he became more and more courageous as he fought.

"Uncle Zhang isn't going to lose, is he?"

Wang Ping opened his mouth wide and said.

"It looks like that's the case."

Zhao Feng hesitated.

An inch long and an inch strong is good, but an inch short is also dangerous.

"Brother Fan is so powerful, I feel like Uncle Zhang is about to be overwhelmed."

"How long has it been? I remember just now, Brother Fan was being pressed down and beaten by Uncle Zhang, and he couldn't move."

"yes……"

That scene is still before my eyes.

But now, there has been a 180-degree reversal.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it even if they were killed.

"..."

Not far away, Gu Ze, who was also paying attention here, clenched his fists unconsciously and felt a huge pressure.

Even if this guy's archery skills are better than his own, is he still so good with a knife? And he clearly just practiced.

If one day, he were to approach him, wouldn't he be helpless?

"No! I also have to practice a short weapon!"

He made up his mind.

"Okay, I admit defeat."

Zhang Ren jumped up and jumped out of the circle, dumbfounded.

Chen Fan was startled. He was wondering why there was suddenly no one in front of him. Hearing this, he smiled sheepishly and said, "Uncle Zhang, you're welcome. I took advantage of the realm."

After all, the opponent only used the strength of the first level of body tempering. If it was the second or third level of body tempering, the outcome would be uncertain. In other words, whether he could attack the opponent was still uncertain.

"Not entirely."

Zhang Ren shook his head, "You are indeed improving fast, there is no doubt about that."

Chen Fan smiled and immediately looked at the skill bar impatiently.

[Shadowless Quick Knife (Incomplete): I don't know anything (0%)]

[Collection progress: 36%]

[Completion conditions: Third level of body tempering, basic swordsmanship lv5, achieved]

[Time required for completion, 24 hours, have you completed it? ]

"One day?"

Chen Fan thought to himself, it was not long, but not short either.

But it would be best if it could be completed in the shortest time.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Ren and asked:

"Uncle Zhang, how about we continue?"

Zhang Ren looked at him meaningfully and said: "Okay, your swordsmanship has reached a certain level now, I will use the strength of the third level of body tempering to fight with you."
