Chapter 99 Melee Defense Master

Five minutes later.

With the Black Blade absorbing three pieces of purple equipment, its growth value reached 25%.

Just then, Mia returned.

"Sir, you said there's still a lot of equipment to sell, where is it?"

As soon as she returned to her private room, Mia seemed a little impatient. Fang Yu could tell at a glance that she still had a playful spirit in her eyes, as if she had discovered something fun while selling equipment.

Since he had several important things to do, he didn't think much of it and handed over the various items he had just sorted to Mia.

Until Mia walked away with cheerful steps and disappeared into her private room.

Fang Yu's eye twitched. Was this some kind of crazy party? But then, remembering that he still had a lot to do, he shook his head and ignored it.

Before using the "Golden Honor Scroll" to advance to Sword Master, Fang Yu took out the [Physical Skills Insights] he obtained from opening treasure chests during his last return.

[Physical Skills Insights]

Quality: Purple Type: Knowledge Scroll Effect: Increases melee specialization level by 5 after use.

Rating: 124

Introduction: A hard-working genius is one who is good at developing their own strengths, and I happen to be good at physical skills.

His original intention was to use it before returning to the real world, but the park issued a reinforcement mission, and he was only able to use it now.

[Do/Do not use martial arts tips.]

Upon selecting the method, Fang Yu felt a ripple spread through the surrounding space in the next second. A flash of light and shadow appeared before his eyes, and he was immediately transported to a moderately sized dojo.

[Assisted training mode has been enabled.]

[Time lock complete. This scene will disappear after the hunter's melee ability is increased by 5 levels. During this period, the hunter must do their best to improve their melee ability. If the hunter is found to be doing other things, the scene will end.]

Trial Grounds?

Realizing where he was, Fang Yu looked at the black figure standing in the center of the dojo. Although he couldn't see the figure's face clearly, he could tell from the posture that the other party must be a close combat expert.

"I can tell you're skilled with a knife. In that case, tell me, what's your role in close combat?"

The shadowy figure was not only indistinguishable in terms of gender by its size, but its voice was also neutral with an eerie emphasis, as if it were a temporary phantom.

Upon hearing the question from the shadowy figure, Fang Yu couldn't help but frown in thought. His main purpose in learning close combat was to deal with enemies skilled in hand-to-hand combat, while also improving his own sensory acuity and survivability.

But when it came to delving deeper into the subject, he was completely baffled.

Should one completely supplement swordsmanship, pursue it in parallel with swordsmanship, or combine both, or find the path that best suits them?

Fang Yu realized that the moment of choice had arrived.

To go far on this path, one must have a clear direction; otherwise, one will only be dabbling in many things without mastering any, and will hardly make any progress.

"You seem to be troubled, but I'm here precisely to solve your troubles. Now, experience it for yourself."

Seeing no response, the dark figure did not wait any longer. He immediately assumed a fighting stance, his knees slightly bent. Without any visible exertion of force, he burst forth with astonishing speed, like an arrow released from a bow.

Fang was startled at this moment and immediately raised his hands in a defensive posture, ready to defend against any attack that might come at any time.

A distance of more than ten meters, passed in a flash.

The dark figure appeared in an instant less than a meter away. There was no impenetrable attack as expected, nor any tricky angle of attack. There was only an ordinary straight punch, and even the way he threw the punch was like that of an ordinary person who had never learned close combat: the fist was level with the chest, and the power was fully charged.

They've arrived.

Seeing this, Fang Yu had a bad feeling. He subconsciously locked onto the opponent's wide-open lower body and punching posture. A sweeping leg kick would be enough to disrupt the opponent's attack. Even if the punch was heavy and strong, at most it would result in mutual injury.

The two moved almost simultaneously. The moment the shadowy figure closed in and assumed a punching stance, Fang Yu also made his own countermeasure.

But the next second, Fang Yu realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.

The unprecedentedly intense aura of death was constantly assaulting all his senses. His body stiffened, his mind went completely blank, and all he could see was that ordinary yet seemingly world-destroying straight punch that was constantly magnifying.

Your skill "Enlightenment" has been activated; your current learning intensity is 26 times.

collapse----

In that instant, facing the unprecedented pressure of death, Fang Yu felt as if a string in his mind had suddenly snapped, time stopped, and he lost the ability to think about anything else. The only thing he could think about was to comprehend every detail of that punch.

The power contained in this punch, the meaning represented by this punch, the essence of this power, and most importantly, how to deal with this punch.

The unknown state made time lose its meaning. After an unknown amount of time, the light deep in his eyes gradually began to shine brightly.

He seemed to understand the power represented by that punch: an unwavering will, a determination to follow his own path, and a profound understanding of power.

At the same time, time began to flow slowly, and then returned to normal.

The next second, Fang Yu was punched through the head, and his consciousness went completely black.

When he regained consciousness, Fang Yu found that he was still standing in the same spot, or rather, he hadn't moved at all.

Your skill "Melee Specialization" has changed due to a change in its nature; the skill name is now "Melee Defense Specialization".

[Your skill "Melee Defense Specialization" has been upgraded to Melee Defense Master LV10 due to deep understanding.]

Melee Defense Master: LV10 (Passive)

Skill effects: Increases melee attack power by 60%, increases body defense by 60%, and moderately increases resistance to 45 types of attacks, including penetration, blunt force, muscle paralysis, elemental attacks, knockback, and crushing.

LV10 Additional Effect: Fortitude (Passive): For every point of Stamina, gain an additional 20 Health. (Currently increased by 660 Health)

Upon seeing the advancement to Melee Defense Master, Fang Yu's eyes flashed with surprise. He subconsciously clenched his fist before belatedly realizing the enormous changes in his body.

He said that after returning, he felt something was wrong with his body and thought it was because the battle earlier had put him in a state of extreme excitement.

To everyone's surprise, it turned out that he had become stronger and hadn't been able to adapt to it for a while.

After a brief experience, Fang Yu discovered the areas that had been enhanced.

-

First, there was the surge of boundless vitality within my body, as if I had inexhaustible energy to release; second, there was the firmer, more toned physique. This feeling was quite wonderful.

For some reason, Fang Yu had a vague feeling that the white-quality blade could hardly break through his defenses. At most, it could only make a slight scratch, and it was difficult to even penetrate his skin. Most importantly, even his vulnerable parts seemed to have the same level of defense.

Don't be fooled by the 30% reduction in defense and melee attack power; the actual increase in vitality will also have a synergistic effect, thereby indirectly strengthening the physique, and then the physique will be linked to the power.

Only now does Fang Yu realize that advancing in skill-based abilities means a further unleashing of potential.

A level 40 melee specialization might not be as effective as a level 10 melee mastery.

Such a huge gap, while startling, also made Fang Yu have even higher expectations for the sword master.

Perhaps the same huge change will occur after advancing from swordsmanship specialization to mastery.
