Chapter 32: Face the reality and keep your feet on the ground

Before Gwyn could think of an answer, the greatsword in front of him slowly turned into white light and dissipated.

Realizing what was happening, Gwyn quickly closed his eyes according to the instructions he had learned.

When Gwyn opened his eyes again, he was back in the room where he had just chosen his enemy.

At this time, the big screen in front of Gwen was showing the training records just now.

After carefully checking the training records provided by the system, Gwyn, as expected, saw the description of how he used Honkai energy to strengthen his weapons, and the question in his mind was answered.

"Sure enough, it's not that the death warriors' bodies are too fragile, but the strength of the enhanced greatsword is too high for ordinary death warriors?"

After getting the answer, Gwen recalled the feeling just now and started the simulation again. The training object was still a sickle soldier -

Although Gwyn just killed the opponent in seconds, it does not mean that there is a huge gap between the two sides.

On the contrary, the gap between the two sides in pure hard power is not that big, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

A big part of the reason why Gwyn was able to kill the Scythe Warrior instantly was that he took advantage of the opponent's long attack pre-swing and was able to use his speed to defeat his slow opponent.

In other words, Gwyn could still gain a lot of experience from these most common scythe warriors—

Soon, the scene reappeared, and the guards rushed over with sickles in their hands, slashing down with sharp gusts of wind.

This time, Gwyn did not use fast and slow attacks to attack the opponent's wide-open center gate, but instead looked for the feeling of the greatsword in his hand that had just been strengthened, and blocked with the sword horizontally.

At the moment the sickle and the greatsword collided, an almost irresistible force knocked Gwyn to his knees on the ground. The huge buzzing sound made Gwyn temporarily deaf in his ears, and his brain felt dizzy.

The powerful blow was blocked, but the guard did not hesitate at all. He turned his wrist and exerted force suddenly, trying to pull back his sickle.

As the guards moved, the huge sickle blade turned, and the sickle blade that had just chopped down vertically came horizontally, as if it wanted to hook the greatsword in Gwyn's hand directly.

The tip of the sickle, flashing with cold light, was aimed directly at Gwyn's neck.

Although he couldn't see the scythe behind him, Gwyn felt a chill on the back of his neck and subconsciously lowered his head to dodge, and swung the greatsword in his hand towards the guards.

However, this time the guards were not dismembered by Gwyn like last time, but easily dodged with a speed beyond that of an ordinary person.

After retracting the scythe, the guards raised the scythe again without stopping and slashed towards Gwyn.

Gwyn, whose hands were still a little numb, did not try to block it head-on. As the scythe came down, he swung his greatsword and hit the sharp scythe blade, trying to imitate Xingtian's cloud sword in his memory and deflect it.

However, after all, these were just moves he had seen on the screen, not skills he had learned personally. Gwyn only felt a huge force coming. Although it did not cause the sword in Gwyn's hand to slip out of his hand, it did not allow Gwyn to successfully swing away the sickle.

Micro-control failed. Gwyn was worried that the guards in front of him might make a brilliant move as recorded, so he slashed down with his sword, forcing the guards to retreat. He also took two steps back to adjust his state.

After being forced back by Gwyn, the guards did not attack like mad dogs, but walked slowly around Gwyn, dragging their scythes.

Although the movements were slow and no longer as fast as before, the pressure on Gwyn was greater.

"Huh...huh..."

Trying hard to regulate his breathing, Gwyn kept his eyes fixed on the movements of the guards, ready to meet their next attack at any time.

After the failure of Cloud Sword, Gwen also gave up his original unrealistic idea.

"Let's first exploit the opponent's weaknesses and find their flaws. Once you've learned all the techniques, use them..."

Following this idea, Gwyn quickly took advantage of the guards' slightly slower attack compared to their swift movements in the second round of confrontation and killed them.

With a blink of an eye, Gwyn returned to the control room again.

This time, Gwyn did not restart quickly. Instead, he carefully read the training records and reviewed the previous battle before starting the third simulation.

Although Tianming, which is relatively short of manpower, does not have the conditions to provide one-on-one guidance to every student, the training records provided by the virtual training room are sufficient before the combat skills are cultivated to an extremely high level.

This system, built with the participation of an unremarkable A-level Valkyrie who wishes to remain anonymous, not only provides Gwyn with detailed training records, but also sends them to a certain Archbishop of Destiny who is keeping an eye on this place with the highest authority.

"He possesses the keen combat instincts to kill the guards for the first time, and he also has the ambition to develop his skills. This kid is truly outstanding, Otto..."

Looking at the training records sent back by the system, Xukong Wanzang said with a hint of amazement in his voice.

"Isn't that natural?"

Otto raised the corner of his mouth slightly and continued to follow Gwyn's training remotely.

However, deep in Otto's eyes, there was still some deep worry hidden -

Otto was indeed pleased with the fighting talent displayed by Gwyn, but his attempt to develop skills during the second battle against the Guards brought back some bad memories for Otto.

Five hundred years ago, the young Otto Apocalis was also full of confidence, but he eventually made a big mistake because of his own confidence or stupidity.

If Gwyn shows this tendency, Otto will need to be prepared to teach Gwyn a lesson.

Fortunately, in the subsequent training records, Gwyn did not make any more dangerous attempts. He just continued to use the most basic combat skills to fight with the guards, exercising his combat intuition, and at most gradually increased the number of enemies.

"call……

It seems his father has cultivated his character very well..."

Not seeing the situation he was worried about, Otto breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked the self he had never met.

Outside the door of the virtual training room used by Gwyn, Anna, who could not directly check the battle records like Otto, could only pace back and forth with a little uneasiness.

"call……"

Realizing that she was too anxious, Anna took a deep breath, sat down on the chair, looked at the green light that indicated that the user was safe, and tried to calm herself down.

However, her calm expression and legs, wrapped in pure white silk and looking increasingly slender, began to tremble slightly unconsciously, revealing Anna's restless heart.

Time passed bit by bit, and just when Anna sat back in her seat for the fourth time, the door of the training room finally opened slowly.

"Gwen!"

Anna, who had just sat down, jumped up from her chair and ran to Gwen who was walking out slowly. She supported his stiff body, her pretty face full of concern.

"How are you?

Is the training going well?

Are you having any problems?"

Chapter 33 Anna: Under Great Pressure

"Anna?"

Gwen, who thought Anna had gone to train after he started, faced the girl's barrage of questions and smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, the training went well.

A mere dead warrior, not worth mentioning! "

"lie!"

Seeing that Gwen was in a stable mood and was in the mood to chat with her, Anna immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Anna, being an active B-rank Valkyrie after all, quickly noticed something was wrong with Gwen, and a serious expression appeared on her pretty face:

"If the training went well, why would your body be experiencing phantom pain that's clearly leftover from an injury sustained during virtual training?"

As she spoke, Anna reached out and poked Gwyn's side, which was twitching unnaturally under his clothes.

"There was a small mistake..."

Hearing this, Gwen's smile became a little awkward, but he still explained as if nothing had happened.

"It wasn't difficult to kill one assassin, so I chose multiple enemies. I accidentally got hurt a little, but in the end, I wiped out those guys."

"You chose a higher-level enemy?"

Hearing Gwen's nonchalant explanation, Anna, who had just helped Gwen sit on the chair, raised her eyebrows slightly, put her hands on her hips, looked down at Gwen in front of her, and asked in a bad tone.

"of course not."

Gwen, knowing what Anna was angry about, shook his head decisively.

"Anna, you and I promised not to touch enemies above the level of the Dead Men. Of course, we won't break that promise."

"Um……

good……"

Hearing this, Anna's tense face relaxed, and she smiled and touched Gwen's head.

"Anna, I'm just a little short, not a real child. Don't keep touching my head. Be careful or I'll start rubbing your little head every day when I grow up."

"Hum~"

Anna didn't take Gwen's threat to heart at all, and there was a hint of pride in her smile.

"Then let's wait until you grow up..."

As she spoke, Anna retracted her mischievous little hands and stuffed the energy drink she had prepared while wandering around into Gwen's hands.

Without looking at Gwen's helpless expression, Anna turned and walked to the side with a smile, took back the certification card that Gwen inserted when he entered the virtual training room, and retrieved the report that had just been printed.

Although Anna really wanted to help Gwen relieve the phantom pain left by the injury during the virtual training, she knew that this feeling would also be beneficial to Gwen's growth, so she suppressed the impulse in her heart and took Gwen's training report to read it.

Looking at the report about Gwen's effortless performance in facing the assassins, Anna was still a little surprised even though she had expected it.

Anna still remembers that when she faced the assassins for the first time in the virtual training room, she was very nervous and it took her a lot of effort to deal with it.

Anna opened her red lips slightly, pursed them tightly, and continued to read the report.

Anna thought she had gotten used to Gwen's surprises and wouldn't be surprised by this again, but when she saw the description in the report later, her tightly pursed lips couldn't help but open slightly -

"Honkai monster?"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar description in the report, Anna blinked, a hint of doubt flashed across her pretty face. After thinking for a moment, a look of sudden realization flashed in her beautiful pink eyes.

However, even though she guessed the answer, Anna still took the report and sat next to Gwen, pointing at it and asked:

"Gwen, the Honkai monsters you chose here... are they referring to those beasts in history that were corrupted and mutated by the Honkai?"

In a broad sense, Honkai monsters refer to all enemies related to Honkai, but in a narrow sense, they can also refer to monsters that were corroded by Honkai's energy beasts in the early years when Honkai had not yet spawned standard monsters such as the Death Soldiers.

"Smart, worthy of being Teacher Anna..."

Gwen deliberately emphasized the word "teacher". Anna rolled her eyes at him, and Gwen's smile faded slightly. He said seriously,

"Although the system ratings show that the Death Soldiers are of higher quality and more dangerous than those Honkai monsters, that doesn't mean they are completely useless—

Since I haven't started to learn any skills yet, I am more focused on training my reaction ability and on-the-spot response in the virtual training room.

Although the Death Soldiers are stronger than those mutated beasts, they are not as...variable as the latter.

For me now, the latter can bring greater improvement."

"indeed……"

Listening to Gwen, who was more than a head shorter than her, Anna stopped rubbing her head in anger. Instead, she thought for a moment and nodded slightly:

"Although the overall quality of the death squad is stronger, their attack methods are relatively simple. Once you become familiar with them, there is not much point in using them for training.

In comparison, those beasts are more suitable for training the ability to respond to emergencies."

As she spoke, Anna showed an encouraging smile on her pretty face.

"You realized this the first time you used the virtual training room. You're truly worthy of being called Gwyn, aren't you?"

"uh-huh?"

Gwen smiled and shrugged.

"Isn't it because our instructor Anna taught me well?"

"Forget it. I know how much I've taught you. It has nothing to do with me what you can think of."

Although Anna felt quite happy when she heard this, she still shook her head slightly.

Although teaching smart students is worry-free, Anna, as an instructor, can't help but feel a sense of urgency when facing a student like Gwyn who is too talented.

With a light breath, Anna put aside the sense of urgency that suddenly rose in her heart, sorted out the report in her hand and said:

"Gwen, you should rest for a while. I will tell Bianca and Rita the news."

"Well, even though they're on a mission today, they've taught me a lot in the past two weeks, so I should give them some fun."
