Chapter 67: Gaining Attention, Gaining Experience!
"Is that the S-rank sword technique that's said to be the hardest to master? It's said that even among the second-tier martial artists guarding this level 2 beginner rift, only a handful have actually learned it!"
"Truly a genius among geniuses, achieving so much at such a young age is truly enviable!"
Niu Chao shouted impatiently, "Quickly, go and inform Instructor Xu that Jiang Chen from Jinling City has performed exceptionally well!"
When Xu Zhe saw Jiang Chen's amazing record, she nodded in satisfaction.
"This Jiang Chen really surprises me time and time again," Xu Zhe said thoughtfully. "His Thunderous Blade Technique has at least reached the proficiency level, and it's even very likely that it has reached the subtle level."
In Xu Zhe's view, among all the trainees in the special training program, only Jiang Chen's performance in actual combat is worth watching.
Highest efficiency in killing enemies!
The others, though quite capable, couldn't fully utilize their abilities in actual combat.
They can hardly unleash even half of their full potential.
Aside from Jiang Chen, only Tan Ji and Situ Guiyi's performances were passable.
Tan Ji's skills are even more advanced at the third tier, while Situ Guiyi is an archer, which is quite unique.
However, when it comes to killing efficiency, Situ Guiyi is superior.
With his superb archery skills, he could easily shoot down alien races from a great distance.
On the other hand, Tan Ji, who is the strongest, is slightly less efficient at killing enemies.
As for Jiang Chen, he may not have been very lucky; the Abyss Clan was one of the few factions he chose.
Therefore, Situ Guiyi is currently in first place in points.
The second is Tan Ji.
Seventh is Jiang Chen.
The scores of the top few players are very close, and the rankings are changing rapidly.
"Keep a close eye on Jiang Chen," Xu Zhe instructed his men.
Given some time to adapt to real combat, these trainees will soon be able to unleash most or even all of their full potential.
At that time, Jiang Chen will not have much of an advantage. Will he still be able to maintain his top ten ranking?
It's also possible that they'll fall out of the top ten.
However, if his ranking continues to rise, it means he is truly talented.
......
Jiang Chen was unaware that he was already receiving a great deal of attention at the fortress.
After killing a squad of Abyss Clan members, he showed no signs of slackening; instead, he became even more excited and continued his charge into the Abyss Clan's territory.
Along the way, they encountered a few scattered soldiers of the Abyss Clan. Jiang Chen moved with lightning speed, and with a flash of his blade, he killed them.
[Defeat a level 11 alien murloc warrior and gain 0.011 free attribute points.]
......
If he encounters a small Abyss Clan team, Jiang Chen will first charge in and eliminate the Siren Mage to wipe them out completely, and then kill the Murloc Warriors one by one.
The Abyss Clan squad of a dozen or so people were like free attribute points delivered to Jiang Chen's doorstep, ready to be picked at his mercy.
This was not only a practical training exercise, but also a honing of swordsmanship skills.
Jiang Chen honed his skills in actual combat and constantly gained insights into the true meaning of martial arts.
In the most dangerous moment, Jiang Chen encountered a level 16 siren mage.
The siren began to sing a siren song, her voice ethereal and melodious, seemingly possessing a magical power that made Jiang Chen momentarily dazed.
On the battlefield, a moment of distraction can be fatal!
Fortunately, Jiang Chen had a high mental level, strong mental power, and a firm will. He quickly broke free from the Siren's Song's bewitching influence and launched a counterattack.
"Song of the Siren? That's a troublesome skill. Too bad your level is still too low!"
Jiang Chen sneered, the long sword in his hand gleaming with a chilling light.
He gathered his strength and focused all his power on the tip of his blade, charging straight at the Siren Mage!
Seeing this, the siren sorcerer let out a shriek and increased the intensity of the siren's song.
Ripples spread through the air, and Jiang Chen felt a wave of dizziness, as if his consciousness was being carried away by the singing.
"Die!!"
Jiang Chen bit his tongue, using the excruciating pain to maintain his clarity.
At the same time, he mustered every ounce of power within him and launched a final charge against the siren mage.
Go ahead!
"die!"
With a furious roar, Jiang Chen drew a perfect arc with his longsword, as powerful as thunder and as fast as lightning.
This strike was incredibly fast, incredibly heavy, and incredibly ruthless!
puff!
The long sword plunged into the siren mage's chest, churning it violently until blood splattered and his internal organs were shattered.
The siren let out a mournful scream, staggered to the ground, and soon died.
After killing the Siren Mage, the other murloc warriors were only a struggle and not difficult to deal with.
Easily kill the remaining murloc warriors.
Jiang Chen pulled out his long sword, panting heavily, his back covered in cold sweat.
This battle was truly breathtaking.
If it weren't for his unwavering will and higher spiritual level, he would probably have become food for the Abyss Clan long ago.
"The siren race is indeed extraordinary," Jiang Chen muttered to himself, gazing at the siren corpses at his feet. "The magic contained in their songs is simply unbelievable. If they were to unleash it on a large scale, it would probably be enough to bewitch even more people. I doubt anyone could resist it."
Jiang Chen gripped his longsword tightly, his gaze resolute.
He knew very well that his current strength was far from enough. Only by becoming stronger could he shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting his country.
Jiang Chen continued to roam the territory of the Abyss Clan, searching for new prey.
He cherishes every battle, seeing them as invaluable experiences.
Only through the baptism of blood and fire can he truly grow and transform.
......
Deep in the dense forest, the stench of blood permeated the air.
Jiang Chen, holding a long sword, stood panting amidst a pile of alien corpses.
In one morning, Jiang Chen had killed more than 150 alien races, including 20 sea monster mages.
Gained 2 free attribute points, 212 points!
His body was covered in blood, exuding a chilling aura.
"I'll put all 2 free attribute points I gained this morning into my second-tier sword technique."
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and focused his mind, feeling the surging blood and qi within his body.
Your second-tier swordsmanship has increased from 49.715% to 51.715%.
Jiang Chen felt a hint of joy as the notification appeared on the panel.
"Not bad, you've improved a lot again."
Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Including the morning's travel and pursuit, his agility improved by 1.44%.
"This rate of progress is much slower than the arduous training at Magic Martial Arts University," Jiang Chen chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"However, in actual combat, there were other gains."
After countless life-or-death battles, Jiang Chen had become adept at dealing with alien races, basically taking them down with a single strike. He had even figured out how to strike more efficiently.
This is the significance of real combat.
Practicing with a sword ten thousand times is not as good as one real battle!
"It seems that real-world experience is the best way to hone one's skills."
Jiang Chen looked into the distance, his eyes resolute.
At this moment, he was dressed in rags and covered in blood, yet he possessed a desolate beauty that belied his status as a warrior.
After checking his points, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
"226 points, ranked sixth, not bad."
Jiang Chen recalled his awkwardness during his first real battle a few days ago, which almost killed Qin Shou and Wang Tianba, and couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
At that time, although he was exceptionally talented, he was somewhat afraid when he first faced the ferocious and bloodthirsty wolf clan.
But now, Jiang Chen can easily move through and fight among the alien races, and his spirit is no less than that of any martial artist with rich combat experience.
