The training ground was a public area, and there were usually some guards practicing here. At this time, there was a burst of intensive collision in the training ground, attracting the attention of the guards. They stood around in twos and threes, watching the two youths who were fighting with all their might with their sabers.
The guards were no stranger to Regis. This young master's passion for martial arts was not a matter of a day or two. He often dragged some of his brothers to the training ground to compete. Occasionally, there would be guards coming down to compete with him. Although Regis was young, he was already a Level Ten Engraver, and he was quite talented in sword and saber fighting skills. At such a young age, he had defeated many people.
Of course, there was also the suspicion that the master guards were giving in to him.
The teenager who was competing with Regis today was a new face. At first, the onlookers didn't care. But gradually, people looked at Allen with dignified eyes. From the beginning of the competition, the two of them attacked each other. Regis's saber was fast and ruthless. It was rare that Allen was not at a disadvantage. Moreover, each saber was faster than the previous one, and there was a hint of counteracting Regis.
The two tactical long sabers constantly collided, stirring up sparks, and scattered around the two teenagers.
After another collision, Allen suddenly exerted force and pressed his whole body's center of gravity on the saber, and suddenly pushed Regis back. Regis was talented, and Allen had rich combat experience. Moreover, his combat skills were honed between life and death, and there was already killing intent in his saber. He planned to push Regis out of the arena, but unexpectedly, Regis suddenly stepped on the ground with his feet. He instantly retreated and slid a few meters away. Then, he turned around and moved sideways. Allen naturally couldn't push the saber any further.
Regis grinned and repeated the same trick. The man dragged out a black shadow in the air with a special footwork. Just as he was about to collide with Allen, he moved sideways without warning. Allen was shocked. He was unable to catch the youth's movements. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. It was obvious how fast Regis was moving.
When Allen subconsciously turned his head to catch Regis's movements, the young man had already disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already slid to the right of Allen and was in Allen's blind spot! Regis immediately slashed out with his saber, thinking that it would definitely hit. Unexpectedly, Allen did not even turn his head. He raised his right hand and slashed horizontally with his saber! With a clang, it blocked Regis's attack.
"How is this possible?!" The youth shouted in disbelief. His toes touched the ground and he slid backwards.
After sliding a few meters, Regis raised his long saber horizontally, the tip of the saber pointing at Allen's chest. With a sudden shout, he moved with his saber, transforming into a bolt of lightning that pierced straight towards Allen.
Allen's hair stood on end. It was a feeling of extreme danger. He snorted coldly, pointed the tip of his saber at the ground, twisted his waist, and instantly exerted his strength. The tactical saber immediately pulled out a cold lightning-like arc and instantly swept across the tip of Regis's saber.
An extremely loud saber cry rang out on the field. The collision of Origin Energy produced an invisible impact that spread out with a muffled thunderous sound, causing the surrounding spectators to take a step or two back. The knives in the hands of the two youths exploded at the same time, and the splashing fragments forced them to retreat to block.
For a moment, there was a strange silence in the training ground.
Zheng Zheng looked at Allen. Regis scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I seemed to have used too much strength just now."
Looking at his clear eyes, Allen knew that he didn't mean it. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I almost thought you were going to kill me."
"Strange, what kind of footwork are you using? You're so fast," he added.
"Don't you know? I saw you use the Crescent Moon Slash just now, right? That kind of footwork is also one of the ten dozen sliding steps in the army. It uses a high frequency of stepping on the ground to move quickly. If combined with the spin, it can move in multiple directions. However, this also consumes a lot of stamina. " Regis blinked his eyes and said, "Why don't I teach you how to use it as an apology for the mistake just now?"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Do you want to learn Crescent Moon? I see that your attacks are mainly straight lines. This way, the speed and power are both good, but it's easy to predict. It's far less unpredictable than an arc attack. Or, you can combine these two battle skills and your original footwork. That way, I won't be able to fight so easily. "Allen said.
Regis's eyes lit up. The youth nodded excitedly and said, "Alright, that's a deal. Come, I'll teach you how to slide first. You have to start with the high kick first … "
In this way, this afternoon, the two youths taught each other their skills in the training ground and exchanged some practical experience with each other. Both felt that they had benefited a lot. Allen learned the basics of sliding from his brother, and Regis learned many practical skills from him. It was not until the evening that the two left the training ground and returned to their respective residences.
When Allen returned to his residence, he felt the muscles in his legs twitching non-stop. That was the aftereffect of practicing sliding. The high frequency of continuous kicking movements made Allen feel that it was difficult to bear. He put a pool of warm water in the bath and soaked his legs in the warm water for half an hour to relieve the fatigue of his leg muscles. After that, his legs became as heavy as lead. It would take some time to get used to the frequency of kicking required for sliding.
The reward items extracted from the family warehouse were piled up at the entrance of the living room, and there was a list on top of three boxes. Allen counted and confirmed that there were no mistakes before opening the boxes.
The first to open was a small black box. Inside was an electronic magnetic card, Allen's identity card. With this magnetic card, he had a residence in Babylon and the right to designate surface residents to move to Babylon. There were 15 such places. Originally, according to the rules of the conference, the quota was limited to the winners' family members. In view of Allen's particularity, the committee removed this restriction from him alone.
For the time being, this right was of no use to Allen. However, if he wanted to establish a hunting group, he could consider recruiting on the surface. The members recruited in this way could use this right to bring them back to Babylon, saving a large sum of money.
Of course, this was the last word.
Next was a silver-gray suitcase, which required a password to be entered to open. According to the password attached to the Federation box, Allen opened the box. As soon as the box opened, a cold gas immediately escaped from the box. It turned out that this was still a cold incubator. Inside the box was a potion and a disposable injection gun, with a description beside it.
This is a high-grade stamina enhancement potion. In theory, a single injection can double one's stamina. After that, the effect will weaken. Normally speaking, such a potion should not be injected too many times. Not only is multi-flash injection unable to effectively improve physical fitness, but it can also cause irreversible damage to certain organs in the human body. Generally speaking, normal people can only use it three times in their lifetime.
Allen followed the instructions and pressed the fluorescent blue potion into the injection gun, then pressed it on his arm and injected it without leaving a single drop behind. A moment later, he felt his body temperature begin to rise. His entire body felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring. An inexplicable heat rose from the soles of his feet and spread throughout his entire body. Then, all the muscles in his body began to tremble slightly, especially the muscles in his legs.
The process lasted for a whole minute, and Allen was already sweating profusely. The sweat was pale yellow and smelled slightly fishy. That was because some of the toxins accumulated in the body were discharged from the body through sweat while the potion was in action. The potion was still working. The entire strengthening process took 24 hours, and Allen would need a few more days to adapt to the increased strength of his body.
After taking a shower and washing off his stinky sweat, Allen opened the last box. Inside was a complete set of second-grade magic energy weapons, including a complete set of defensive light armor, "Silent Guardian". When the built-in Magic Cube sequence was activated, the ability to "absorb energy" could be activated. This ability could create a shield that could absorb 20% of the Origin Energy impact.
As for the weapon, it was a straight saber. The hilt and scabbard were painted black, and there were dark red spiral patterns on the grip of the saber to prevent it from slipping. Allen drew his saber and straightened it. The blade was snow-white, like a pool of autumn water. There were dark twisting patterns on the back of the saber, simple and rough. Although the blade of the straight saber wasn't as wide as Kuang Tu's, it wasn't much lighter than Kuang Tu's in terms of weight.
Allen held it in his hand and made a few simple slashing movements. He felt that the weight of the blade was just right, and it was more comfortable to use than Kuang Tu. This straight saber, called "Dark Destruction", could produce an ability called "Shadow Tear" after activating the Magic Cube sequence. It could generate Origin Energy Saber Shadows during the slash and carry out multiple attacks along the path of the slash.
Looking at the Dark Destruction and Silent Guardian set of magic energy weapons, Allen's face was filled with smiles. As for the reason why he had upgraded the original first-grade martial equipment to the second-grade, it was probably to show his goodwill to Bescot. Moreover, the price difference between the first and fifth grades of magic energy weapons wasn't that big. It wasn't a big problem to raise it by a little.
Soon, it was time for dinner. When two young maids brought the dinner over, a young man followed them in.
"Regis, why are you here?" Allen said in surprise.
"You said you would treat me to dinner. Besides, I want to compete with you!" Regis sat down at the dining table without any hesitation.
"What are you going to compete with this time?" Allen said, holding his forehead. He had a headache when he heard this word.
"Let's see who eats faster. I won't stand on ceremony!" Regis picked up the knife and fork on the table and began to destroy a steak drenched in vanilla sweat.
Allen hurriedly joined the battle. After all, the maid had only brought dinner for one person. If he ate slowly, he was afraid that he would be swept clean by Regis.
In the next few days, Allen basically mixed with Regis. The two of them could often be seen in the training ground. At first, they attracted the attention of the guards, but after that, everyone was no longer surprised. During this period, Vincent wanted to cause trouble for Allen several times, but seeing that Regis was present, he had no choice but to give up.
On this day, while Hawes was eating breakfast, Helsing came in. Seeing the butler, Hawes said, "I heard that Allen and Regis have been very close recently?"
"Yes, Master, Regis seems to have hit it off with Young Master Allen."
"That's good too. The two of them are about the same age. If they can establish a friendship, there will be fewer obstacles in Allen's path in the future." Horn nodded.
Helsing paused for a moment and said, "Master, there's news about the hunting group that Young Master Allen is tracking down."
