223 Gold-Level Life Seed Monster (1/2)
Lin Huang had learned 28 introductory-level gunfighting techniques from Lin Xuan after spending more than 10 hours in the afternoon. The introduction to gunfighting was also called iron-level gunfighting technique. This technique did not require Life Power so that iron-level hunters and above would be able to use it. However, it was rather difficult to learn.
At Lin Xin’s level, she would need two to three days to master one technique and the reason Lin Huang managed to learn them so fast was because he only needed 30 skill card pieces to obtain one skill card. If he learned at the speed of regular people, he would not learn the skills any faster than Lin Xin. However, Lin Xin had always thought that her brother was talented so it was normal for him to learn much faster. On the other hand, Lin Xuan was not surprised as he learned all the techniques by looking at them once. He did not think that Lin Huang was talented. If outsiders knew that Lin Huang managed to learn 28 techniques in 10 hours, they would find it impressive even though it was an introductory-level skill.
It was 10:30 p.m. when they logged out of the game. To reward the both of them, Lin Huang made supper. The three of them then went to bed after taking a shower and Lin Huang received a video call from Mr. Fu when he was having his breakfast the next morning.
”Boy, are you having breakfast right now?” Mr. Fu saw something that looked like oats in the bowl in front of Lin Huang.
”Yes. Have you had your breakfast, master?” Lin Huang smiled as he asked politely.
”It has been years since I last had breakfast…” Mr. Fu shook his head. He seemed distracted as he thought of his past.
”Have you finished watching the videos that I sent you?” Lin Huang put down his spoon.
”Yes, I have. Don’t worry, please carry on with your breakfast.” Mr. Fu waved his hand.
Lin Huang did not pick up his spoon, ”Please, master.”
”Alright then…” Mr. Fu saw that Lin Huang did not plan to continue eating and he continued to speak.
”I’ve watched all the videos from the beginning until the end. You’ve surprised me!”
”I have always thought that you’re a powerful Imperial Censor. You may have a great potential but your combat strength isn't strong enough. I’ve assigned you a mission that required you to get into the top 10 without using any summoning monsters; simply as a target but I didn't expect you to achieve it. I wanted to see how you’d perform in the arena and observe your true ability as well as how you’d fare during practice battles.”
”The only way to complete the mission within two months was through winning. I estimated that you could achieve a 50-win streak at most and you would lose to the keeper of the 60th battle and that you’d achieve 50-win streaks repeatedly until you manage to collect the targeted points. As the battle continues; you’d be paired with stronger opponents and I didn't think you were capable of winning.”
”However, you managed to defeat all the keepers and achieved a 90-win streak. That was totally out of my expectation…”
Lin Huang felt embarrassed as Mr. Fu complimented him. He had never thought that failing the mission was an option. He wanted to give his best to the mission that was assigned by Mr. Fu.
”I’m curious. Your performance was not that outstanding from the 1st to 50th battles. There were many flaws but within a month's time, you looked like a totally changed man from the 51st battle. You’ve never failed to surprise me since then. What did you do in that one month ?” Mr. Fu asked.
”I downloaded all the videos of the top 10 players and studied them one by one. I even made notes and practiced them in my room… Anyways, I just studied each and every one of the combat styles to see if there was anything that I could learn and adapt into a style of my own so that I can use them in the battles.” Lin Huang explained.
”You sure are outstanding.” Mr. Fu smiled and nodded.
”I’ve watched all of the videos. Although I can find some flaws, I don’t see the need to for you to change. I'll only advice you.”
”Yes please, master” Lin Huang sat right up and listened carefully.
”As a whole, the most outstanding part about you would be your sword skill. You have mastered a great sword skill so I won’t be teaching you other sword skills at the moment. You have a great physique as well, the only flaw that you have would be your speed. Although your speed is slightly faster than a normal silver-level rank-3, you were much weaker when you encountered those who had the advantage in speed. You can overcome that with your movement skills but the two movement skills that you possess are not that special. I'll make a video of a movement skill for you to train on later.”
”Sure!” Lin Huang was over the moon; since Mr. Fu was going to teach him a movement skill, it had to be at least epic-level.
”However, to be able to strengthen yourself to gold-level and fight a holy fire transcendent, relying solely on movement skills aren’t enough. You’d have to improve on your speed as well. Therefore, I’ll suggest you choose a speed type Life Seed when you level-up to gold-level…”
”Master, it doesn’t make sense to improve my speed and physique before I become transcendent, does it?” Lin Huang voiced his doubts; he was taking his the condition he would be in when he leveled-up to holy fire-level into consideration.
