The earth crumbled under Yang Yu's feet, once again disconnected from the ground. Wan Huawen's strength was beyond imagination; even with a shield to block, this strike from Wan Huawen still took away one-tenth of Yang Yu's blood volume, sending him flying.
Tumbling in the sky, Yang Yu put away his shield, thrust his sword into the ground, and landed perfectly.
Yang Yu's whole body creaked, as something tugged at the cells in his body, making him feel a fiery pain all over.
"You didn't dodge in the end, which really surprised me." Maintaining the pose of a punch, the red on Wan Huawen's body fluttered in the cold wind.
Yang Yu smiled nonchalantly, "Since I want to learn this skill, experiencing it firsthand isn't so bad."
To defeat a more powerful enemy, one doesn't necessarily need to break through from the front.
What can be used as a weapon is not only the effect of the skill but also the sensation caused by the skill.
Utilizing everything that can be utilized is in line with Yang Yu's strategy.
Wan Huawen slowly retracted his fist, extinguishing the power of blood on his body, and said with a smile, "You really are a strange guy.
But I don't dislike that.
At your current growth rate, it shouldn't take more than two or three years for you to fight on equal terms with me.
By then, I won't hold back."
Yang Yu politely said, "That's too much praise, who knows when the bottleneck will hit. If there's a chance in the future, I'll come again to ask for guidance."
Wan Huawen nodded, "Hmm, at that time, I'll look forward to it. Now, as agreed, I'll teach you the skill.
You've seen the effect of [Fury Blood], to be honest, when I was young, it also took me quite some effort to master.
This skill is quite subtle, and it's not something that can be explained in a short moment."
Yang Yu said, "That's okay, I'd be happy to sit and listen as long as you're willing to teach me."
"Then come with me back to the dojo, it's a bit cold here."
Wan Huawen folded his arms and led Yang Yu and the others towards the dojo.
Even if they left a mess, someone would come to fix it soon, so Yang Yu and the others didn't have to worry.
"By the way, the Lord of the Family used quite a few skills just now, and a few caught my eye. Could you teach them to me?"
"Of course, but I don't think it's something you can learn overnight."
"Indeed, it's not something to be learned overnight, but you could teach me some techniques first, and I can gradually train."
"What skill do you want to learn?"
"That depends on what skills the Lord of the Family knows."
"By the way, you seem to know the Blood Lion Clan very well, taking precautions against every skill."
"To apprentice and learn the art, naturally I need to understand it first."
"That's true. Your goals are quite pure, much stronger than those disciples who dive in with several interests but have no idea what to do and just blindly roam around. Tonight, you shouldn't wander around, I'll have rooms arranged for you and host you well."
"Then I'll trouble the Lord of the Family. There's one more thing, although I'd like to stay a few more days, we have urgent matters ahead, so we shouldn't disturb you longer."
"When you're ready to leave, just let me know."
Just as Yang Yu and the others were discussing and walking away, a gust of cold wind blew past the corner of the wall.
The lion-eared boy, who was originally sitting against the wall, had disappeared without a trace at some point.
[You can learn [Fury Blood], do you wish to spend 500 skill points to learn it?]
[You can learn [Metal Hardening Defense], do you wish to spend 50 skill points to learn it?]
[You can learn [Blood Burst Earth], do you wish to spend 150 skill points to learn it?]
[You can learn [Fierce Battle Spirit], do you wish to spend 80 skill points to learn it?]
[You can learn [Shield Shattering], do you wish to spend 200 skill points to learn it?]
During their stay at the Blood Lion residence, aside from [Fury Blood], Yang Yu learned four skills from Wan Huawen in one go. Excluding the already seen [Metal Hardening Defense], [Blood Burst Earth], Yang Yu also carefully selected and learned two other skills.
[Fierce Battle Spirit], entering battle status, and after causing damage, strength and defense will increase by 1% per minute, up to a maximum of 10%. After leaving battle status, the effect will decay at a rate of 1% every 10 seconds. During the duration of [Fierce Battle Spirit], the healing rate will be increased by 50%.
[Shield Shattering], shatters the opponent's shield, and when successfully shattering the enemy's shield, it will also reduce the enemy's defense value by 20%.
The positioning of the Blood Lion Clan is very similar to the ever-brave Berserker, with several skills being enhanced versions of the Berserker.
Being able to learn the superior passive of the Berserker, [Fierce Battle Spirit], Yang Yu wasn't very surprised.
[Shield Shattering] was an unexpected delight.
Although there is an abundance of shields from Mages and Holy Knights in this world, there are actually very few skills that can counter shields, with [Shield Shattering] being one of them.
Unfortunately, all shield-countering skills have the common difficulty of being extremely hard to learn, especially those skills that break shields after they are formed.
Smashing someone's shield isn't as simple as smashing an eggshell.
Perhaps, when facing someone who can't use shields, [Shield Shattering] is a useless skill.
But it still doesn't change the fact that it is an extremely versatile counter skill.
In the skill books Yang Yu consulted, the way to acquire this skill was very scarce.
Now that he could learn it, Yang Yu naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.
Unless he wanted to fumble around cluelessly later, not finding this skill anywhere.
It has to be said, Wan Huawen, being the head of the Blood Lion, is indeed resourceful, with many skills that made Yang Yu's heart flutter.
Unfortunately, even though he was mentally prepared, the stronger the skills, the more skill points they cost.
Yang Yu couldn't have imagined, just one skill [Fury Blood] cost 500 skill points, true damage skills are really pricey.
This made Yang Yu decide against learning more skills.
Wan Huawen also felt that he shouldn't let Yang Yu become overwhelmed and declined to teach him more skills. Instead, he focused on teaching the usage and imparting techniques for the skills Yang Yu had chosen.
Yang Yu listened attentively, even taking out a book to make notes earnestly.
Wan Huawen was a diligent and responsible mentor. By following some of his advice, one could save time on exploration and quickly grasp crucial points to master the skills.
While Yang Yu was learning skills from Wan Huawen, Bai Jin and Iyas didn't relax, nor did they go out to have fun as Yang Yu mentioned; they were quietly improving themselves. Newest update provıded by noⅴelfire.net
Even He Meng, who was usually lazy, started to get familiar with the new skills under Lotcar's sparring.
Until Minister Ming Dalak sent someone to the Blood Lion's residence to urge Yang Yu and the others that it was about time to set off, only then did they leave the Blood Lion's mansion to join the negotiation team organized by Ming Dalak.
