139: Changes in Crystal Space

Under Xu Tian's patient explanation and demonstration, an hour quickly passed.

It was like being in the honeymoon phase; no matter how long they were together, time just seemed to vanish.

Watching Xu Tian leave the Martial Arts Room, preparing for his business trip to the Eighth Ecological Zone, Chen Du suddenly had the idea of extending their session!

Another hour!

But he knew that was impossible.

Unlike Chen Du's initial thoughts, although Xu Tian was a man, he was very gentle when teaching.

There was no scolding, no blaming, only encouragement and pointing out areas for improvement.

He would logically and systematically explain your strengths and weaknesses, and then propose a targeted solution.

Honestly, Chen Du would gladly attend this kind of teacher's class for 24 hours!

According to Xu Tian, it takes four steps to go from First-Order Limit Martial Skill to sensing Qi.

These four steps involve integrating each of the four forms of a First-Order Martial Skill into any sword movement.

These four steps are four thresholds; it's not the kind of thing where if the first step succeeds, the rest will follow with diligent effort.

Integrating one form isn't too difficult.

But to integrate the subsequent second, third, and fourth forms, allowing a casual swing to possess the capabilities of all four forms, is extremely, extremely difficult!

According to Xu Tian, to enter Second-Order Martial Skill, one must possess a sufficiently high Comprehension Ability.

Otherwise, no matter how much effort is put in, it will be in vain. First-Order Limit Martial Skill is referred to as Mortal Limit among the three major academies.

Only Second-Order Martial Skill is considered the mark of a Genius.

After Xu Tian left, Chen Du practiced alone in Martial Arts Room 99 for an hour before leaving.

Although there was still no progress, he had a direction and knew what to do next.

This was Chen Du's biggest gain tonight.

......

Upon returning to the Martial Arts Room, Chen Du, like a deflated ball, collapsed and fell asleep.

Life Goddesss Favor doesn't consume much Mental Energy to use, but it greatly depletes willpower.

Chen Du urgently needed the replenishment from the Crystal Space.

Although the school's treatment rooms could also restore his spirit, energy, and vitality.

It was too slow, and he couldn't practice Martial Skills there.

In the Crystal Space, he could both practice Martial Skills and recover his state after waking up.

Killing two birds with one stone, not wasting a single second.

Chen Du was confident that even if those Geniuses worked hard, they couldn't out-compete him, who worked 24 hours a day, like a perpetual motion machine!

The gap between people gradually widens through the accumulation of every minute and second.

Fighting to the death with monsters in the Crystal Space could continuously increase Chen Du's practical combat Comprehension Ability.

The Crystal Space, with its 100% sensory experience, was the best choice for practicing Martial Skills.

However, it was still slightly inferior to fighting aliens in reality, as Chen Du knew he wouldn't truly die.

He lacked the wildly beating heart under crisis and the flash of inspiration under the pressure of death.

But it was much better than practicing alone in the Martial Arts Room.

Xu Tian said that without enough talent, one couldn't sense Qi, a statement Chen Du agreed with.

But it didn't apply to him!

With countless real combat scenarios, continuous deaths, and the immense experience value where quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Chen Du firmly believed that even if he were a pig, he would have enlightened!

Opening his eyes, the familiar blue crystal and familiar white mist, it felt like returning to his secret base.

30 seconds passed quickly, and Chen Du looked forward with some curiosity, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

What would the 11th wave of monsters be?

Yesterday, a few seconds after killing the tenth wave's mini-BOSS, Shocking Whale, he almost fainted from overusing Hand of God.

He lay on the Surface like a corpse, unable to even open his eyelids.

This caused him to die before he could clearly see what the 11th wave of monsters was.

But it didn't matter; he wouldn't reach level 15 in a short time, and his Mental Energy didn't need to be boosted for now.

He came in today just to train Martial Skills as usual.

Now that he had a direction, the first step was very simple.

What Chen Du needed to do was to make his casual slashes unleash the power of Flowing Light Sword Technique's first form, Draw a Circle on the Ground as a Prison.

Soon, the figures of the 11th wave of monsters appeared before Chen Du.

The eleventh wave of monsters: Eight Direction Shaking Ape (LV: 12), quantity: 30.

A group of apes, about 5 meters tall, with eight-pack abs and brown fur, emerged from behind the thick fog.

They raised both hands, placing their fingertips in the middle of their heads, forming a heart-like gesture.

Like a bunch of fools, they grunted and shuffled towards him.

“Hmm?”

“Strange, why is their Life Strength only level 12?”

Chen Du murmured, puzzled.

The tenth wave's Shocking Whale, being a mini-BOSS, had a Life Strength of 13.

Referring to the data from the previous fifth and sixth waves.

The fifth wave's Flaxen Giant Lizard had a Life Strength of 6.1.

The sixth wave's Green Firefly Giant had a Life Strength of 6.2.

Although it only increased by 0.1, the number of monsters increased by 29.

What's the logic behind it decreasing instead of increasing this time?

Chen Du gripped his longsword, his gaze focused, with no time to ponder.

Because 30 Eight Direction Shaking Apes were already almost in his face!

Clang!

Chen Du struck first, swinging his sword, instinctively cutting at the opponent's neck, producing a crisp metallic clang.

“Can they harden their fur?”

The sensation in his palm allowed Chen Du to instantly determine the ability of these Eight Direction Shaking Apes.

The probing sword strike just now didn't cut into the opponent's flesh at all; the fur on their neck instantly hardened.

It transformed into countless steel needles, blocking Chen Du's slash.

Soon, the opponents' attacks followed, not single-target, but area-of-effect.

When Chen Du swung that sword, the other Eight Direction Shaking Apes had already surrounded him.

They tightly encircled Chen Du, leaving him no room to maneuver.

This kind of behavior was no surprise to Chen Du, who fought daily in the Crystal Space.

It was as natural as breathing.

Facing iron fists attacking simultaneously from all directions, Chen Du dared not be careless and instantly activated Spiritual Power Attachment.

Chen Du's own Life Strength was only 9.7, and even with a First-Order Limit Martial Skill.

It was impossible to contend with 30 monsters, each with a Life Strength of 12.

Under the effect of his level 15 Mental Energy, his body was no longer simply covered by a faint blue film.

Instead, it was a solidified armor, like a carapace.

Chen Du sharply pulled his longsword like a rope, performing a graceful 360-degree spin.

He unleashed a circular slash, pushing away the fists that were attacking him!

At the moment of contact, Chen Du's eyes narrowed.

In that instant, he understood why the Life Strength of the eleventh wave of monsters had decreased.

They actually knew Martial Skills!
