Chapter 296 - Strange Movements From the Swords (1/2)

“Robbing seems to be a career with very good prospects. Should I learn from them a little?”

Although Zhang Che had to watch as a bunch of legend-qualilty subdued beasts turn into streaks of light and dissipate from his counter-kill against the group of beastmasters, his gains were still very impressive.

Just that Purple-Gold Demonic Armored Worm had left him satisfied.

Alas, he wasn’t able to equip it for now…

If it wasn’t for his moral baseline, Zhang Che might really consider learning from them and look for solo beastmasters and robbing them.

Speaking of which, Zhang Che simply had an advantage in that regard.

When a beastmaster had their guard down, the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly could go up and cast its Enchant skill, and they would basically hand over their goods obediently.

“Forget it. This kind of thing could get addicting…” Zhang Che shook his head, giving up on this extremely beautiful idea.

Since it was still early, Zhang Che rode the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and continued on his way, staying close to the ground.

He felt that he had to train his skill at controlling the sword. Although the scarlet sword was as good as an extension of his arm, slashing wherever he wanted, he still needed to go through some training to truly exhibit its might.

For example, the timing on when to make his move, or the angle to attack from; all these could be improved on.

Zhang Che had trained with Liu Gang and the others for a single day previously. Although he was far from finishing from his apprenticeship, he understood some of the basic principles, which were totally compatible with applying his control of the sword.

Moreover, directing the sword to attack was much better than Zhang Che personally brandishing a weapon. If he trained well, it could become an extremely powerful killer move!

When hunting high-level, high-quality beasts, this killer move might not be too useful. If he was facing fellow humans, however, the strength he could display was shocking. Just look at what happened when that group of beastmasters tried to rob him!

The strange creatures in this vicinity happened to be weak. Going forward, Zhang Che didn’t let the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon or the Scarlet Flame Drake make any moves. Any strange creatures saw he handled by himself, directing the sword, slaying each and every one of them.

Not only that, but in his pursuit of efficiency, Zhang Che wouldn’t strike randomly. Instead, he would choose to strike at the opportune moment and angle, guiding the scarlet sword, aiming for one shot kills.

In the beginning, Zhang Che was not able to achieve this target. Only those extremely weak strange creatures would die to a single attack. The slightly stronger ones would dodge to avoid being hit in their vitals in advance when facing mortal danger. Although the scarlet sword would still manage to severely injure them, it wasn’t able to reach the level of killing the creatures in an instant.

“‘The road to improvement is narrow and endless’, indeed. It won’t be easy to achieve perfection in my control of the sword,” Zhang Che sighed, but he didn’t lose hope.

In this world, there was no way you could achieve success overnight. As long as you worked hard and persevered, along with consolidating everything you learned, final success would definitely come one day!

Time passed quickly. Before he realized it, the day was over.

During the day, Zhang Che had hunted at least several dozen strange creatures and gained a decent amount of mysterious energy.
