60: Fusion secret technique violent

Chapter 60: Fusion Secret Art - Rampage

Most students in the academy choose to venture out for experience and improve themselves.

Su Xiao was no exception.

The secret Fighting Skill and the parchment map were both obtained from an attacker. Because the attacker was weak, not even a Dou Master, and the secret Fighting Skill obtained was the lowest grade, Su Xiao didn't pay much attention to the parchment map.

If the girl hadn't mentioned the mission reward just now, he would have almost forgotten about it himself.

Walking out of the Mission Hall, Su Xiao shook his head with some regret, "Junior Lin Xiu is a good teammate, but unfortunately, he enrolled a bit late."

A year later, Su Xiao would participate in the Inner Academy selection and become an Inner Academy student.

The Inner Academy and Outer Academy, in a sense, could be seen as heaven and earth.

Therefore, Su Xiao had a good first impression of Lin Xiu, but he didn't have much intention of nurturing him.

Could Lin Xiu also participate in the Inner Academy assessment a year later?

"If he had that kind of talent, he wouldn't have been reduced to raising horses before." Su Xiao smiled faintly at the thought that flashed through his mind, then dismissed it...

Hearing the senior sister still lamenting Su Xiao's cunning for using a map of uncertain value as compensation, Lin Xiu expressed his satisfaction. After thanking the senior sister again, he also left the Mission Hall.

Originally, his goal was the Berserk Qi Roar, but now he had an extra map. Regardless of whether it had value, it was a pleasant surprise.

Leaving the academy, Lin Xiu plunged into the wild forest, beginning his journey of completing missions while hunting Demonic Beasts for experience.

Seven days passed in a flash, and his strength increased rapidly, reaching Seven-Star Dou Zhe.

"If there were no combat consumption, with my automatically operating Cultivation Technique, I would probably be close to Breakthrough to Nine-Star Dou Zhe by now."

In the forest, having just finished a battle, Lin Xiu lit a fire to prepare food.

Aside from the first two days, he had become familiar with the rules of living alone in the forest.

Taking out the cut Crimson Tiger Beast meat from his naring, Lin Xiu skewered it with his longsword and placed it over the fire to roast.

The dark red meat gradually released juices as it was scorched by high temperatures, and the surface of the meat began to brown.

Sitting by the bonfire, Lin Xiu rotated the longsword, allowing the flames to reach every side of the meat.

These seven days, as long as his Dou Qi recovered to its peak, Lin Xiu would seek out Demonic Beasts for battle until his Dou Qi was only 30% remaining.

The extensive battles brought physical and mental fatigue, but Lin Xiu didn't care; instead, he felt very fulfilled.

Looking at the continuously rising experience and the increasing attribute points, he felt very satisfied.

The Blood Burning Art had already reached the introductory stage of Cultivation. Lin Xiu used seven attribute points to Fuse the Blood Burning Art and the Berserk Qi Roar, obtaining a Yellow Rank Intermediate secret art — Rampage.

It similarly used a roar to stir up Qi and blood, achieving the effect of augmenting one's own strength. It was equivalent to the combination of the two previous secret arts.

Compared to the huge cost of the Blood Burning Art, Rampage consumed little blood. Lin Xiu once encountered a second-tier Demonic Beast, the Mountain Moving Bear.

A giant bear three meters tall and weighing at least a thousand catties, its arms were as wide as Lin Xiu's body.

After using Rampage, Lin Xiu's strength increased by two stars, and his physical strength also greatly enhanced. Facing the Mountain Moving Bear, which had tough skin, thick flesh, extremely high defense, but immense strength, Lin Xiu's battle did not fall into a disadvantage.

Of course, he didn't gain any advantage either. After creating many wounds on the Mountain Moving Bear with Flying Flower Piercing Leaf, he noticed his internal Dou Qi was running low and retreated in time.

"Now, counting Blood Qi Enhancement, I have a total of four defensive Fighting Skills, all Yellow Rank Intermediate. If I continue to Fuse them, I can probably obtain a Profound Rank Low-grade defensive Fighting Skill."

"Movement Fighting Skills are the most scarce. Gale Step is Yellow Rank Intermediate, and the remaining five are Yellow Rank Low-grade. If all of them are Fused, at most I can only get a Yellow Rank Advanced one. To Fuse a Profound Rank Low-grade, I need at least one Yellow Rank Intermediate movement skill or a Yellow Rank Low-grade one."

"For offensive Fighting Skills, if I want to keep sword-style Fighting Skills, then sword-style can only be upgraded to Yellow Rank Advanced. However, by Fusing other Fighting Skills, I can gather two Profound Rank Low-grade ones."

Lin Xiu estimated for a while and found that to Fuse all these Fighting Skills, he would probably have to stay in the forest for two to three months.

Of course, this was on the premise of not using attribute points. If he used attribute points, he could save half a month's time.

"It's not cost-effective to use attribute points for low-grade Fighting Skills. Fighting Demonic Beasts for experience can also increase my combat ability, and this amount of time is nothing to me anyway."

The roast meat was done. Lin Xiu blew on it, tore off strips, and put them into his mouth.

After eating his fill and resting briefly, Lin Xiu's internal Dou Qi recovered to its peak under the operation of his Cultivation Technique.

Extinguishing the bonfire, Lin Xiu picked up his sword and vanished into the forest.

Not long after, a red shadow flashed past.

"Another Crimson Tiger Beast!" With joy on his face, Lin Xiu pursued it with his sword.

After staying in the wild for several days, Lin Xiu had tried several kinds of Demonic Beast meat, and the Crimson Tiger Beast's meat was the best in texture and taste.

One person and one tiger, one chasing and one fleeing.

The Crimson Tiger Beast sensed the movement behind it, turned around, and fought with Lin Xiu. After taking two sword strikes, it realized it was no match, let out a low growl, and chose to flee.

Lin Xiu wasn't in a hurry to attack. Through exploration, he found that this kind of chase also counted as a combat state.

Using movement Fighting Skills at this time yielded two to three times more experience than normal practice.

After chasing for almost two minutes, the Crimson Tiger Beast's distance grew further and further.

Gale Step, activate!

Lin Xiu's feet were imbued with wind, and his speed sharply increased.

In a few breaths, he reached the Crimson Tiger Beast. The Crimson Tiger Beast turned its head and opened its mouth to bite.

"Mountain Shatterer!"

Lin Xiu, who was prepared, kicked out, accurately hitting the Crimson Tiger Beast's chin.

Crack!

The Crimson Tiger Beast failed to bite, its jawbone was broken by the kick, and the huge impact forced its mouth shut while also biting its own tongue.

Pain surged into its eyes. As the Crimson Tiger Beast was about to roar, a sword light flashed.

"Flying Flower Piercing Leaf!"

[You participated in a battle, Gale Step experience +20]

[Gale Step Lv5 (350/500)]

[You participated in a battle, Mountain Shatterer experience +10]

[Mountain Shatterer Lv6 (600/600)]

[Note: Your ability Mountain Shatterer has reached its Advanced level, you can...]

[You participated in a battle, Flying Flower Piercing Leaf experience +20]

[Flying Flower Piercing Leaf Lv5 (60/500)]

The sword tip pierced into the Crimson Tiger Beast's head through its eye, and the lightning-attributed Dou Qi surged, causing the Crimson Tiger Beast to lose its life.

Lin Xiu glanced at the prompt, "Mountain Shatterer is maxed out. With one more Yellow Rank Advanced offensive Fighting Skill, I can Fuse a Profound Rank Low-grade one."

Pulling out his longsword, Lin Xiu began to process the Crimson Tiger Beast's meat.

And just as Lin Xiu was busy, a bush about a dozen meters away shook, and a head peeked out.

The person's face was somewhat flustered. After seeing the Crimson Tiger Beast's corpse, he regained his composure, and his gaze then fell upon Lin Xiu.

"Lin Xiu?" The young man was startled, a hint of joy flashed across his face, and he pulled up his pants before rushing out of the bush.

However, the direction he ran was opposite to Lin Xiu's location.

He ran for over two hundred meters in one breath, then heard talking ahead. In an open space, two bonfires burned, and five or six young people sat beside them.

"Boss Baishan, what was that move you just used? The second-tier Wind Wolf Lion's right leg was crippled by your single blow; it's so strong."

"When Senior Brother Wang returns after killing the Wind Wolf Lion, he'll definitely thank Boss Baishan."

Among the crowd, Baishan, dressed in white, wore a humble smile, "That move is a Profound Rank Intermediate Fighting Skill my brother just taught me, the Mountain Shocking Qi Force. It's a pity I just learned it; otherwise, that single blow just now would have been enough to break its thigh."

Hearing that it was a Profound Rank Intermediate Fighting Skill, the other few showed envious expressions. If such a Fighting Skill were to be exchanged in the Mission Hall, it would cost at least 100,000 mission points.

Usually, it would take about a year of missions to exchange for one.
