Chapter 399: The Competition Unfolds Silently
The platform is like a dungeon, with as many platforms as there are people. Lin
Each platform has one person standing on it, and three identical stone steles.
No matter the profession, everyone encounters the same three stone steles and the same three skills.
For those who are originally swordsmen, learning is relatively easy.
For those with magic professions, learning is much more difficult.
Some people, as if shrouded in a fog, find it hard to see the content on the steles. This fog comes from the animals they have killed.
Whether accidentally stepped on or intentionally killed, the result is the same, treated equally.
However, those who have killed fewer animals have a thinner fog.
Those who have killed more have a thicker fog, making it impossible to see the content on the steles.
At this moment, they finally understand why their elders at home advised them not to kill animals.
The consequence of not listening to the elders is this, there is no regret medicine in the world, and regret is useless.
The person who killed the most animals is enveloped in a special aura.
When he stepped onto the suspension bridge and entered the thick fog, the upward aura immediately mixed with the thick fog.
Gusts of wind blew, and the suspension bridge collapsed instantly.
He screamed and fell off the cliff, disappearing without a trace.
On the platform, some people comprehended the skills and were overjoyed.
Some were shrouded in fog and regretted it deeply.
Some could see clearly but couldn’t comprehend, frowning in distress.
Only 28 people, but each had a different expression.
Three hours later, with a slight tremor, the steles disappeared, and a brand new suspension bridge appeared ahead.
Lin Moyu slowly stood up, having mastered the three skills more than two hours ago.
For him, it was not difficult at all.
He stepped onto the suspension bridge and walked forward.
The other end of the suspension bridge was also connected to a platform.
Feeling the wind blowing by his ears, passing through layers of white fog, Lin Moyu stepped onto this platform.
A sharp sword was stuck at the edge of the platform, and in the center of the platform stood a person.
He held a sharp sword, his eyes fixed on Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu immediately saw that this was not a person, but a puppet, a swordsman puppet.
The third stage, defeat the opponent.
Lin Moyu immediately understood that the three skills learned on the previous platform were prepared for now.
If he hadn’t mastered those three skills, it would be difficult to defeat the opponent.
After understanding, Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Then let’s try."
Originally, he wanted to take a sword from the storage space, but found that the storage space was locked, and nothing could be taken out.
"They really don’t let people take advantage of loopholes."
After understanding why, Lin Moyu casually pulled out the long sword stuck in the ground.
The swordsman puppet in the center of the platform moved the moment he drew the sword, rushing forward at high speed.
Lin Moyu looked at the rushing swordsman puppet, "Judging by the speed, the agility attribute should be between 500 and 700."
"The attribute is not high, similar to most people."
"But for me..."
After eating the [Primordial Fruit], all attributes are attributes, which is nothing at all.
The swordsman puppet rushed to Lin Moyu and slashed with a sword.
Skill: Sword Gale!
The sword move was fast, silent, as if it could really cut through the breeze.
Lin Moyu also responded with a Sword Gale, the sword light flashed, faster than the swordsman puppet.
The sword light instantly cut through the swordsman puppet.
Clang!
The swordsman puppet’s long sword fell to the ground, and the entire puppet shattered into pieces, then turned into a special aura and fell on Lin Moyu.
The attributes suddenly increased by a part, each attribute increased by 500, which is not much.
It seemed that the swordsman puppet’s attributes were added to his own.
A suspension bridge appeared again in front of the platform.
"So simple?"
Lin Moyu didn’t expect the opponent to be so weak, ending the battle with just one sword.
The key was that his attributes were too strong, whether in strength or agility, completely crushing the opponent.
Plus, using the same skills, winning was naturally easy.
For others, it wouldn’t be so simple.
On other platforms, battles were ongoing.
Ling Yizhan was fighting fiercely with the swordsman puppet, back and forth, enjoying the fight.
Ling Yizhan’s attributes were similar to the swordsman puppet’s, and as a knight, he also mastered three skills, but his proficiency was not as high as Lin Moyu’s.
With these three skills, it was enough to confront the swordsman puppet head-on.
Some mage professions didn’t comprehend the three skills and were beaten by the swordsman puppet, screaming in distress.
Lin Mohan held a long sword, using the three skills alternately, and with attributes far surpassing the swordsman puppet, firmly suppressed the swordsman puppet.
Ning Yiyi used Sword Gale repeatedly, her movements extremely agile, fully displaying the characteristics of her assassin profession, also gaining the upper hand.
In contrast, Mo Yun had a much harder time.
She was smart and had high comprehension, also mastering the three skills.
However, she was not familiar with the swordsman’s fighting style, struggling to fight while constantly learning, progressing very quickly.
Lin Moyu passed through the fog again and stepped onto the third platform.
"Is this the fourth stage?"
At this moment, he was a bit unsure.
The third stage described by Mo Xinghe seemed too simple for him.
Then he solved the battle with one sword, without any difficulty.
If the third stage was just like this, it wouldn’t be that no one had passed it for so many years.
On the third platform, four stone steles stood.
"Learning skills again?"
"Previously it was swordsman skills, what is it this time..."
Just as he thought of this, Lin Moyu was suddenly stunned!
He found that the three skills he had just learned were gone.
They were not in his attributes, and he couldn’t remember the specific information of the three skills.
He only remembered the names of the three skills: Sword Gale, Sword Slice, and Stone Cutter.
He couldn’t remember anything else.
This feeling was very strange, getting something and then suddenly losing it inexplicably, making Lin Moyu very uncomfortable.
"Is this the reason why those who reached the third stage couldn’t explain it clearly?"
Lin Moyu was secretly shocked and turned his gaze to the stone steles in the center of the platform.
They were exactly the same as the previous stone steles, also [Skill Steles].
[Skill: Fireball]
.....Requesting flowers
[Fireball: Launch a fireball to attack the enemy, the power depends on mental strength.] This time it was a mage skill.
Needless to say, the other steles must have similar skills.
After looking at each one, it was indeed so.
[Skill: Wind Ball]
[Wind Ball: Launch a wind ball to attack the enemy, the power depends on mental strength.]
[Skill: Ice Arrow]
[Ice Arrow: Launch an ice arrow to attack the enemy, the power depends on mental strength.]
[Skill: Thunder Ball]
[Thunder Ball: Throw a thunder ball to attack the enemy, the power depends on mental strength.]
Lin Moyu looked at the four basic skills, deep in thought.
Previously, he learned three swordsman skills, then faced a swordsman puppet with the same three skills.
This time, he had to learn four basic mage skills, and the next opponent would definitely be a mage puppet.
After understanding this, Lin Moyu began to learn and master these skills one by one.
Skills were not difficult for Lin Moyu, especially with ancient Chinese characters explaining them, making it even more effective.
In just one hour, he had mastered all four skills.
Lin Moyu knew that with his attributes, plus his understanding of mage combat, he should be able to win easily. He practiced each skill several times.
Among them, Thunder Ball was the fastest, hitting the enemy almost instantly upon launch, making it nearly impossible to dodge.
Next was Wind Ball, which had the support of wind elements, also very fast.
Ice Arrow and Fireball were slightly slower.
However, Ice Arrow had a freezing effect, significantly slowing down the enemy.
Fireball had a burning effect, causing continuous damage.
Each skill had its own characteristics, and Lin Moyu firmly grasped them.
Finally, others also reached their third platform.
They also began to learn new skills.
This time, it was the turn of warrior professions to wail, having to learn mage skills.
The few mages who barely passed the stage were excited.
Mage skills were their specialty.
Four hours later, all platforms, and steles disappeared simultaneously.
A suspension bridge appeared again ahead.
Someone screamed, "Why so fast!"
"I’ve only been learning for less than two hours."
"Why!"
No one knew, the steles appeared together and disappeared together.
The duration was determined by the first person to pass the stage.
Lin Moyu was too fast, passing the stage almost instantly.
Some people took more than an hour.
This compressed their learning time.
Although there was no direct confrontation, the competition began silently under these rules.
On the fourth platform, Lin Moyu met his opponent.
A puppet wearing a mage robe.
The moment Lin Moyu stepped onto the platform, the mage puppet looked at him, a fireball rising in its hand.
Thunder roared, and thunder balls flew from Lin Moyu’s hands, hitting the mage puppet instantly.
Lin Moyu attacked with both hands, launching at least five thunder balls per second.
Thunder balls were the fastest, and Lin Moyu, adhering to the principle of striking first, took the initiative.
