Baron Cullen

The next day.

Karen rushed to the chapter's base early in the morning and explained to Lamont that he had accepted the Order of the Warband's offer of service.

Just as the other side said when he first joined the fray.

Lamont, far from being displeased, patted Karen on the shoulder with delight and said, "You actually managed to gain the approval of the Order Keeper's leader!"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

So, after some discussion, Karen changed from going to the warband every day for training and to handle commissions to now being able to travel between the two places at her own pace.

Of course, he would occasionally take some time to visit the Mage Association, after all, he was a formal member of the Mage Association.

Although it's quite tough, it's all worth it to become stronger.

Soon, Karen arrived at the Order Keeper branch.

As soon as he stepped into the spacious, enclosed yet not dimly lit hall, he saw Bright walking towards him.

"Vice Chief, I've come to see the Chief." He bowed slightly.

Brett nodded and said, "Go ahead, follow that passage all the way in. The Chief is waiting for you in the training ground behind the second door at the end."

As he spoke, he pointed to one of the passageways in the hall.

Karen nodded and walked into the passage, soon arriving at the door that Bright had mentioned.

Pushing open the wooden door, you'll find an extremely spacious room, almost as large as the outer hall.

At this moment, Fiona was wearing a black training outfit that allowed her to move around easily, which perfectly outlined her tall and agile figure.

Holding an unsharpened longsword, she swung it with one hand, repeatedly hacking at the iron-clad wooden stake in front of her.

Hearing the door open, she stopped and turned to look at Karen: "You're here early."

"I want to become stronger, so I won't let any opportunity slip by."

"very good."

After saying that, Fiona tossed the longsword in her hand to Karen and said, "Show all the combat techniques you know once."

Karen nodded, gripped his sword, took a deep breath, and suddenly activated the extraordinary elements within his body!

Based on the characteristics of each combat technique as analyzed by the mysterious runes, and combined with the insights he gained from practicing over this period, he unleashed the combat techniques he had mastered.

"Spinning Slash, Savage Thrust, Reverse Slash, Gouge Slash, Violent Triple Slash, Severance!"

Before this, he had tried to combine the basic first-tier combat skills together, so he was able to execute them very quickly and with ease.

While the two second-tier combat skills and the third-tier combat skill that I just mastered yesterday cannot yet be combined, the speed and smoothness of their execution have improved considerably.

After he finished demonstrating, he stood on the other side of the training ground, slightly out of breath, holding his sword.

"I must say, your talent for learning combat skills is higher than mine. You've reached a fairly good level of proficiency in such a short time." Fiona nodded slightly and walked towards Karen. "However, I noticed that during your demonstration, you tried to connect the combat skills you had already mastered to achieve a better effect."

But your movements are too stiff; no matter how fast you move, you can't form a coherent system.

The result is that even with more practice, you can only shorten the intervals between combat techniques.

"Please guide me, Chief." Karen humbly sought knowledge.

Fiona drew another longsword from the weapon rack on one side of the training ground and said, "The work of the Order Keepers mostly involves dealing with strange and dangerous enemies. When facing such enemies, simply relying on strength, realm, and skill level is not the best choice."

After all, you can't guarantee that the enemy you encounter will be of a lower level of strength or skill than you.

She slowly walked up to Karen, sword in hand, her cool eyes meeting his. "Therefore, warriors need to pay more attention to the application of combat skills."

Combat skills require mastery and adaptability, and ultimately, a comprehensive understanding of the skills already mastered leads to a state of complete mastery!

Integrate and master!

Karen was startled.

He did have this idea, and he did indeed act in that direction.

But as Fiona said, what he did was essentially just speed up the execution of each combat technique and reduce the intervals between combat techniques.

This allows for quick combos, resulting in continuous and highly efficient attacks.

But in essence, he did not achieve true mastery.

"Next, I will demonstrate using basic Tier 1 combat techniques. Observe my movements carefully," Fiona said, raising the longsword in her hand.

Upon hearing this, Karen quickly and quietly activated the mysterious runes deep within her right eye.

He knew that the young woman in front of him was not only the only sixth-order transcendent in the City of No Breath, but more importantly, she had already reached the sixth-order realm at such a young age, which undoubtedly proved how amazing her talent was.

The guidance of such a person is priceless; he kept his right eye wide open, afraid of missing any detail.

The next moment, Fiona's figure suddenly flashed, and the longsword in her hand transformed into a streak of sword light, swirling and flying around her!

She executed even the most basic combat techniques with unparalleled skill in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, the aura and sense of oppression it exuded even showed a tendency to rival a third-tier combat skill!

Karen observed with utmost care.

Because of the mysterious runes, even though Fiona was extremely fast, he was still able to capture every moment and imprint it deeply in his mind.

But that's precisely why he was even more shocked!

As the saying goes.

You don't know me; you see me like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky.

If you truly know me, you will see me as an ant seeing the blue sky.

Only then did Karen truly understand the meaning of those words.

In his eyes, Fiona claimed to be demonstrating basic combat techniques, but what she performed seemed quite unfamiliar, with only a few movements revealing traces of those techniques.

Although the way it exerts force and the path of the extraordinary elements are extremely similar, it has already transformed into a completely new combat technique that has never been seen before.

"Did you understand?" Fiona sheathed her sword, turned around, and asked.

Karen nodded and said according to her own understanding, "Yes, I think I've found a clue."

"In that case, attack me." Fiona nodded, her longsword hanging casually at her side. "Use all the combat techniques you know."

Without hesitation, Karen activated the extraordinary elements within her body.

He kept recalling all of Fiona's actions, and with the analysis of the mysterious runes, he vaguely gained new insights.

Suddenly, his body transformed into a blur, charging straight at Fiona with a "Savage Thrust"!

Fiona stood there expressionless.

Just as Karen's sword was about to touch her body, she slightly turned her body, raised her right hand to block the incoming sword, and seemingly casually flicked it away.

Karen felt a gentle yet irresistible force acting on her, her forward momentum involuntarily swerved, and she almost lost her balance.

He spun around, using the momentum to unleash a "spinning slash," unleashing a burst of extraordinary elemental energy in a circular pattern, attempting to force Fiona back.

However, Fiona simply took a step forward, and her longsword precisely cut into the weak point of the extraordinary element.

With a gentle touch, he directly shattered the extraordinary elements that he had gathered on the blade!

"What?!"

His pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but let out a low gasp.
