BXBX NOVEL Chapter 88 A Story Of A Legend
"Don't underestimate it; I never teach useless skills. A person who has mastered this technique can chain from one opponent to another and defeat multiple opponents at once; to increase its damage, you can use 'Quick Draw' with it or use a buff type skill," the professor said with a smile.
"There is also an advanced form of this sword technique known as 'Sword Dash+,' which increases your attack speed, decreases your move cooldown, and removes any effect such as stun and crowd control that would otherwise stop your moment. Let me show you how you can chain from one opponent to another while using it," he said before resuming his stance.
"Sir, I have a question," Rishi said.
"Ask it after I finish demonstrating," the professor said, standing in front of three training dummies arranged in a triangle. The professor dashed at the first training dummy, this time using 'Quick Draw' in between, resulting in two sword marks on the dummy. Then he used the 'Sword Dash' to jump at the second dummy before moving on to the third dummy.
After a split second, all students could see were the professor's blurred shadows as he moved from one dummy to another at breakneck speed. After two seconds, all they could hear was the wind.
"It had been a long time since I used this technique; did you see what it could do?" said the professor, taking a deep breath while sweating.
"What did you want to ask?" the professor said, looking toward Rishi.
"Sir, I was wondering if you could only use this technique on an opponent; how do you use it on the training dummy?" Rishi asked.
"It's very simple; these training dummies are not regular but very advanced. They are designed so that all techniques work on them; learning this technique would have been extremely difficult without them. They also have a nice feature called auto repair, which means they can repair themselves; all you have to do is put the material on the machine," he explained.
"This time, I didn't use much force like the previous time, as my main focus was on movement. This is one of the most difficult techniques to master, and the skill level required to utilize it fully is extremely high. In Japan, there is a famous swordsman named Naito Yoshio; during an International Tournament, his team was ambushed by two teams simultaneously, leaving only three members of his team."
"A support mage, a tank, and he a swordsman; the opponents saw that only three members of Yosho's team remained, so they approached him to eliminate the remaining members. At the time, his team's Tank used a technique called 'Split Pain,' which reduced Yosho's damage while also transferring half of the damage he took to his teammate."
"The Supporter Mage also cast a barrier and buff skill on Yosho using all her mana, and when the opponents thought it was the final struggle, Yosho showed the world his self-created version of the 'Sword Dash+' skill. He activated his buff skill, 'lightning charge,' which added lightning damage to his attacks and stunned any opponents hit by him.
"Then he used another swordsman buff skill, 'Sword Aura,' which increased the damage of all his attacks while also giving him penetration trait for a short time, which ignored some of his opponent's defense, but even this was insufficient to eliminate ten opponents of equal level."
"He used his clan's secret skill, 'Death Mark,' which applied a mark to opponents nearby and gave him cooldown reduction and mana recovery if his attacks hit the marked opponent. And when the user hits the mark, his attack becomes a critical hit, dealing bonus damage."
"After preparing everything, Yosho used 'Sword Dash+' to attack all the opponents while also using 'Quick Draw' to hit the target. He charged from one opponent to the other, giving them no time to react. His buff abilities dealt additional damage and stunned his opponents, making it easier for him to complete his combo. He chained them for three seconds, and they were all eliminated, and this was not a small tournament, but an international tournament in which all East Asian countries participated."
"The opposing teams were also not weak; they were South Korea and China. This victory made him a legend, Many even claimed that it was only Team C of China and Team B of South Korea, not their main teams, but then this team was also Team C of Japan; let's leave this argument alone; the main point is that this technique is good enough to be used in international level tournaments."
"Mastering this skill will improve your swordsmanship and make you a skilled fighter, but don't expect to become Naito Yoshio in a week or month. It takes years for people to gain a basic understanding of this skill. Now I'll show you how to use it step by step; learn it; it's also a very good sword technique to flex," he added, laughing as he remembered how he trained very hard to master this skill to impress girls.
'Good old days,' he sighed as he began teaching his students how to perform this skill. It was a simple skill to learn at first, but mastering it was complex and even more difficult when you targeted multiple enemies.
Rishi was the first to move two meters quickly, while Nina took one minute longer but dashed three meters, after which everyone began to use this skill to dash.
Nina could dash five meters and hit a target in between before the end of the class, whereas Rishi could only dash four meters. Every student received advice from the professor on how to improve themselves.
After a while, the bell rang, and everyone thanked the professor and began leaving for their next class. Rishi met with the professor to discuss his swordplay flaws.
The professor gave Rishi a detailed breakdown of his mistakes and even gave Rishi some pointers on how to improve his fighting style.
He even advised Rishi to go to the library and use his contribution points to learn skills such as 'Hide,' 'Stealth,' and 'Back Stab.' He also informed Rishi that there is a section in the library where he can find 'Shadow' element-related skills, but they are expensive and will take some time to obtain.
Rishi noted down everything the professor said in his phone's notepad. He had learned much from interacting with the professor, so he thanked him and left the class.
