60 Chapter 60: Fusion Secret Technique - Fury
In the Academy, most students choose to go out for experiences to improve themselves.
Su Xiao is no exception.
The secret Dou Technique and the sheepskin map were both obtained from an assailant because the assailant's strength was low, not even a Dou Master.
Moreover, since the secret Dou Technique obtained was the lowest level, Su Xiao didn't care much about the sheepskin map.
Just now, if the girl hadn't mentioned the mission reward, he would have almost forgotten it himself.
Leaving the Task Hall, Su Xiao shook his head with some regret, "This Junior Lin Xiu could have been a good teammate, but unfortunately, he entered the school a bit late."
A year later, Su Xiao would participate in the internal selection, at which time he would become an inner student.
The inner court and the outer court can be seen in a sense as heaven and earth.
Therefore, Su Xiao's first impression of Lin Xiu was good, but he didn't have much intention to nurture him.
It wouldn't be possible for Lin Xiu to participate in the Inner Court Assessment a year later, would it?
"If he had such talent, he wouldn't have fallen into horse breeding before." Su Xiao lightly smiled at the thought that flashed through his mind and dismissed it.
...
Hearing Senior Sister still sighing at Su Xiao's cunning, actually using a map of uncertain value as compensation.
Lin Xiu expressed satisfaction. After thanking the Senior Sister again, he also left the Task Hall.
Originally, his goal was Furious Roar, but now he got an extra map. Regardless of its value, it was a pleasant surprise.
After leaving the Academy, Lin Xiu plunged into the wilderness forest, embarking on a journey to complete tasks while hunting Magic Beasts for experience.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed, and his strength increased rapidly, reaching the level of 7 Star Dou Practitioner.
"If there were no battle expenditures, with my Qi Method running automatically, I'm afraid I would have already broken through to 9 Star Dou Practitioner by now."
In the forest, just after finishing a battle, Lin Xiu lit a fire to prepare some food.
Except for the first two days, he had become familiar with the rules of living alone in the forest.
Taking out the severed red tiger meat from his Spatial Ring and skewering it with a long sword, Lin Xiu placed it over the fire to roast.
The dark red chunks of meat gradually released juices under the high temperature, and the surface of the meat turned brown from the scorching heat.
Sitting by the fire, Lin Xiu rotated the long sword, ensuring that the flames reached every side of the meat.
For these seven days, as long as his Dou Qi recovered to its peak, Lin Xiu would seek out Magic Beasts for battles until his Dou Qi was only at thirty percent.
The extensive battles brought physical and spiritual exhaustion, but Lin Xiu didn't mind; instead, he felt fulfilled.
Seeing the continuously increasing experience and the once again growing Attribute Points, he felt very satisfied.
The Blood Ignition Technique has been mastered. Lin Xiu used Attribute Points to fuse the Blood Ignition Technique and Furious Roar, obtaining a Yellow Rank Mid Level secret technique—Fury.
Similarly using a roar to stir the blood, achieving the effect of enhancing one's own strength, it is equivalent to the combination of the two previous secret techniques.
Compared to the huge cost of the Blood Ignition Technique, Fury consumes little blood. Lin Xiu once encountered a Second Rank Magic Beast, the Mountain-moving Bear.
A towering bear with a height of three meters, weighing at least a thousand kilograms, its arms were as wide as Lin Xiu's body.
After using Fury, Lin Xiu's strength broke through two stars, and his physical strength was greatly enhanced. Facing the Mountain-moving Bear with thick skin, high defense and great strength, Lin Xiu did not fall into a disadvantage.
Of course, he didn't take advantage either. After inflicting many wounds on the Mountain-moving Bear using Flying Flowers Through Leaves, Lin Xiu noticed that there was not much Dou Qi left in his body and promptly withdrew.
"Now, including Energize, I have a total of four Defense Dou Techniques, all Yellow Rank Mid Level. By continuing to merge them, I can obtain a Black Rank Low Level Defense Dou Technique."
"The Agility Dou Technique are the rarest. Swift Wind Steps is Yellow Rank Mid Level, and the remaining five are all Yellow Rank Low Level. If they are all merged, the highest I can get is a Yellow Rank High Level. To merge into a Black Rank Low Level, I need to directly obtain a Yellow Rank Mid Level Agility Dou Technique. Or a Yellow Rank Low Level."
"For the Attack Dou Technique, if I want to keep the Sword Dou Technique, then the Sword Technique can only rise to Yellow Rank High Level. However, by merging the other Dou Techniques, I can put together two Black Rank Low Level ones."
After some estimation, Lin Xiu realized that to merge all these Dou Techniques, he would need to spend about two to three months in the forest.
Of course, this is without using Attribute Points. If Attribute Points are used, he can save a lot of time.
"Using Attribute Points for low-level Dou Techniques isn't worthwhile. Fighting Magic Beasts to gain experience not only increases my combat ability but also doesn't take much time for me."
After finishing roasting the meat, Lin Xiu blew on it before tearing off strips and putting them into his mouth.
After eating his fill and taking a brief rest, Lin Xiu's Dou Qi, under the operation of his Qi Method, restored to its peak.
Extinguishing the campfire, Lin Xiu wielded his sword and disappeared into the forest.
Not long after, a flash of red dashed by.
"It's another Red Tiger Beast!" His face lit up with joy as Lin Xiu brandished his sword and gave chase.
Having spent several days in the wilderness, Lin Xiu had tried various kinds of Magic Beast meat, and he found that the meat of the Red Tiger Beast was the best in quality and taste.
It was a chase between one man and one tiger.
The Red Tiger Beast sensed the movement behind it, turned around, and engaged in a struggle with Lin Xiu. After exchanging two strikes and realizing it was at a disadvantage, it let out a low growl and chose to flee.
Lin Xiu didn't rush to attack. Through exploration, he discovered that this kind of pursuit could also be considered a state of combat.
At this moment, using the Agility Dou Technique, one gains two to three times more experience than usual practice.
After chasing for almost two minutes, the Red Tiger Beast was getting farther away.
Swift Wind Steps, activate!
Lin Xiu's feet were carried by the wind, and his speed suddenly increased.
In a few breaths, he arrived beside the Red Tiger Beast, which turned its head and opened its mouth to bite.
"Mountain Breaker!"
Prepared in advance, Lin Xiu kicked out, accurately hitting the Red Tiger Beast's chin.
Crack!
Unable to bite, the lower jaw bone of the Red Tiger Beast was broken by the kick. The tremendous impact forced its mouth shut while biting down on its own tongue.
An expression of pain surged in its eyes, and just as the Red Tiger Beast was about to roar, a flash of sword light passed.
"Flying Flowers Through Leaves!"
[You engage in a battle, Swift Wind Steps experience +20]
[Swift Wind Steps level 5 (350/500)]
[You engage in a battle, Mountain Breaker experience +10]
[Mountain Breaker Level 6 (600/600)]
[Attention, your Ability Mountain Breaker has reached the highest level, you can...]
[You engage in a battle, Flying Flowers Through Leaves experience +20]
[Flying Flowers Through Leaves Level 5 (60/500)]
The sword tip pierced into the Red Tiger Beast's head through its eye, Lightning Attribute Dou Qi surged, and the Red Tiger Beast lost its vitality.
Lin Xiu glanced at the prompt, "Mountain Breaker is at max level. With another Yellow Rank High level Attack Dou Technique, I can fuse it into a Black Rank Low Level one."
Drawing out his long sword, Lin Xiu began to process the Red Tiger Beast's meat.
As Lin Xiu was busy, in the bushes about a dozen meters away, there was a slight rustle, and a head peeked out.
The person seemed a bit flustered, but upon seeing the corpse of the Red Tiger Beast, they calmed down. Their gaze shifted to Lin Xiu nearby.
"Lin Xiu?" The young man was taken aback, a hint of joy flashing across his face. He adjusted his pants and dashed out of the bushes.
However, he ran in the opposite direction from where Lin Xiu was.
After running for more than two hundred meters, voices came from ahead. In an open space, two bonfires were burning, with five or six young people sitting beside them.
"Bai Shan, what was that move just now? You crippled the right leg of the Second Rank Wind Wolf with one hit. So strong."
"When Senior Wang kills the Wind Wolf and comes back, he'll definitely thank Bai Shan."
Among the crowd, Bai Shan, dressed in white, wore a modest smile on his face. "That move is my brother's newly taught Black Rank Mid Level Dou Technique, Mountain Shaking Qi. Unfortunately, I just learned it. Otherwise, that one hit would have been enough to break its thigh."
Upon hearing that it was a Black Rank Mid Level Dou Technique, the others showed envy. Such a Dou Technique, if exchanged in the Task Hall, would cost at least 100,000 Task Points.
It would take almost a year of tasks to earn one.
