Gu Fei was in a good mood after accepting the quest to get rid of his 30 PK points. He was going to log off immediately after completing the quest, which was something to be happy about.
Frankly speaking, Gu Fei was having a great time playing the game. He had the opportunity to fight in the game that he would never have in his daily life, and Gu Fei enjoyed the experience. But he had always been careful about moderation. Actually, with his job and lifestyle, he could have made more time to play the game, but he never did. He had always been serious, only playing the game for two to three hours a day, enjoying the fun of fighting before logging off.
But ever since he joined Reigning The Four Seas, Gu Fei had repeatedly broken the time he set for himself to log off. But there was nothing he could do about it. The world of the game naturally had its rules, and sometimes it was necessary to follow them. Otherwise, even in this virtual world, it would be difficult to survive.
Gu Fei couldn't help but think of a saying, "You can't help yourself when you're in Jianghu."
He wasn't in Jianghu yet, it was just a stupid game, and there were some things that he was forced to do.
Take the current situation for example, if he didn't take the opportunity when the guards were scattered at sea to get rid of his PK points and log off like he did yesterday, then come back the next day …
Gu Fei didn't believe that he would be so lucky that there would always be bystanders who would save him. Today, he had already experienced being chased by the guards, and Gu Fei knew very well that if it wasn't for the bystanders, he wouldn't have been able to get rid of his PK points. So this time, he couldn't take the risk again. He had to take advantage of the opportunity in front of him and get his PK points below 30.
With such determination, Gu Fei once again delayed the time for him to go offline. Now that the new quest was completed, his PK points would drop to 29, which was already a safe line for Gu Fei.
He whistled, looked at the coordinates of the quest, and pushed open the door to the Wanted Quest Office.
A gust of wind blew.
It was the strongest gust Gu Fei had felt since he entered the game.
So in that moment, Gu Fei unleashed the strongest Kung Fu energy he had since he entered the game.
The judgment he made to dodge the gust of wind didn't go through his brain, it was his body's conditioned reflex. This was a conditioned reflex that Gu Fei had cultivated since he was young. He practiced martial arts in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. He even dreamed of practicing martial arts.
This reflexive memory seemed to be imprinted in every inch of Gu Fei's skin, every inch of his bones, every inch of his meridians. Thus, at this critical moment, this kind of experience played a powerful role.
In that instant, Gu Fei didn't even know he had reacted in such a way.
His reaction was fast enough, absolutely fast!
Unfortunately, no matter how fast one's reaction was, there was still a difference between a sudden attack and a prepared one. Other than that, there was another reason. Gu Fei's movements didn't speed up because of his reflexes.
There was nothing he could do. Because this was a game, the speed of one's movements was always a type of data. The reaction of the brain, or the experience of the body, could only allow one to react as quickly as possible. However, this was actually just a preparatory activity. In order to actually perform the action and complete the action, one needed data.
Gu Fei's data wasn't considered slow by any means, but in this sudden attack, he was still a little slow against this gust of wind. Even with his superhuman reflexes and judgment, he wasn't able to dodge all of it. He only managed to dodge part of it.
Dodging part of it meant being hit was also part of it, so the damage was also part of it.
Gu Fei lost his balance, but he didn't fall.
As long as it was possible, Gu Fei would never fall.
This time, he could. Although Gu Fei's health was already in the red after this gust of wind, he still managed to stabilize himself after staggering a few steps.
The second gust of wind had arrived.
This time, Gu Fei was prepared, and his reflexes didn't slow down at all. This time, he managed to dodge the attack. At the same time, he saw the attacker: the System Guard.
The System Guard was as strong as Gu Fei had imagined. These two swords were just normal attacks, but the speed and strength were something Gu Fei had never seen before in the game.
This kind of attack was even harder to deal with than the skill 'Earth-shattering Slash'.
'Earth-shattering Slash' had to fly, land, and pose. How much time was wasted in between? In comparison, the damage and attack range of a normal attack was definitely not as strong as a skill like 'Earth-shattering Slash', but it was clean, precise, and accurate.
The simplest moves were often the most effective.
This was a term often mentioned in Kung Fu, and it seemed to be reflected in this System Guard.
However, Gu Fei was an expert, and he was able to see through the intricacies of this move.
A mere robot couldn't possibly display such a high level of Kung Fu. There was only one reason for this: the difference in strength between Gu Fei and the System Guard was too large.
When the difference in strength was too large, complex moves would seem redundant. Perhaps they were equally effective in terms of damage, but in terms of efficiency, they would always be inferior to simple moves.
This complicated thought only flashed through Gu Fei's mind for an instant, because the System Guard's third attack had arrived.
One slash, another slash, and another slash.
This was the System Guard's third attack on Gu Fei. Other than the first one, which was too sudden for Gu Fei to defend against, Gu Fei successfully dodged the other two. Moreover, after seeing the situation in front of him clearly, he was somewhat elated.
There was only one System Guard in front of him!
It wasn't hard for Gu Fei to understand what was going on. When there was a storm on the sea, who could predict where they would be swept to? Then, they would rush to the same location from different places. There was always a sequence of events. This brother in front of him had arrived first, but his comrades might still be drifting on the sea.
He might have a way to deal with a System Guard that was alone.
Gu Fei was full of confidence, and didn't consider that his health was already at red. In front of such a powerful System Guard, he would definitely die.
The System Guard's fourth slash came.
It was still a straight slash.
The Saint Seiya often said, "It's useless to use the same move against us twice!"
Although Gu Fei wasn't a Saint Seiya, this was already the fourth slash he had faced. The moment the System Guard moved, Gu Fei had already prepared to counterattack.
As the sword slashed down, a strong gust of wind swept past, but Gu Fei had already dodged to the side.
"Dual Flame Flash!" Gu Fei slashed down with his sword.
"Clang!" Gu Fei's sword slashed down on the System Guard's shield, just like the first time he attacked the System Guard. Against such a powerful System Guard, their reaction speed definitely wouldn't be slow.
Gu Fei almost didn't stop his attack. With a quick flick of his wrist, his sword swept down from the System Guard's shield, and the sword turned into a stab, stabbing towards the System Guard's waist.
"Flash!!!" Gu Fei finally finished chanting.
There was a certain amount of time between the summoning chant and the activation chant. Normal ranged Mages didn't have much of a reaction to this, but for Gu Fei, who was a unique melee Mage, this made his attacks even more unpredictable.
The techniques of Kung Fu weren't as simple as the System Guard's sword slash.
Every technique had multiple variations and follow-up moves. Plus, humans didn't think in a straight line like computers, so there was no need to say how strange these techniques were.
For example, when Gu Fei hit the guard just now, he had used a simple variation in this sword technique to deceive the guard's shield, and then found an opening to attack the guard's vitals. At the same time, he released the spell that he was chanting, and a powerful attack was perfectly realized.
When the System Guard was hit by this sword, it angrily turned around and slashed again, but Gu Fei had already dodged to the side. He had already stretched out his left hand, and lightning flashed in his hand.
Lightning Palm was a skill that Gu Fei hadn't used seriously in battle until now.
This skill was to condense a bolt of lightning in the palm, and then strike it out in a straight line. To put it simply, it could be seen as a lightning spell that was fired in parallel.
However, apart from the direction it was fired in, this skill still had some unique characteristics.
For example, it had to be released from the palm with one's bare hands. However, if the Mage put away his staff and released the spell with his bare hands, the damage of the spell would be greatly reduced. The System took this into consideration, and gave this skill a special condition: the off-hand could not use it.
Apart from this, this skill had another characteristic: the lightning needed some time to condense in the palm. This characteristic went against the quick and direct nature of lightning spells, so this skill was slightly stronger than normal lightning spells.
However, this was not an overpowered skill that could destroy the heavens and the earth. In fact, as a reward from a System Quest for players around level 40, this skill was not that amazing, and there were also scrolls of this skill on the market.
However, any skill in Gu Fei's hands would have to be reconstructed. Take the Lightning Palm for example, although it was also a long-range attack, it was used in close combat.
After condensing the lightning, he grasped the timing and struck out with his palm.
Gu Fei's skills were not limited to various weapons, he was also proficient in many palm techniques, fist techniques, and leg techniques. To him, striking a person with his palm was as simple and accurate as slashing a person with his sword.
Thus, the moment he struck, he released the Lightning Palm. Being able to attack from a distance did not mean that its power would be reduced at close range. In the process of Gu Fei's research, he had killed countless monsters with his palm.
Gu Fei's usage of the skill gave it a new value.
The main hand was the Night Light Sword's Double Flame Flash, and the off-hand was the Lightning Palm. This meant that Gu Fei, as a melee Mage, was proficient in both hands, just like a Berserker. Moreover, the attack of his off-hand was not weakened at all.
