It was a tall man in black armor. He looked to be more than two meters tall and was bald like the owner of the hotel. There was a long scar on his rough, stubbled face that ran from the left side of his forehead down through the middle of his eye to his chin. His left eye was white without a pupil. The scar and the blind eyeball added a bit of malevolence to his originally rough appearance.
With such a height and such a face, it gave people a sense of oppression.
After the tall man entered the restaurant, his eyes swept across the people present. Everyone lowered their heads. Even Lin Huang avoided looking at him. He patted Lin Xin and told her to hurry up and eat.
Unexpectedly, after the tall man brought the dishes, he walked towards Lin Huang and Lin Xin and sat alone at the table behind Lin Xin. The position he sat at was just right for him to look directly at Lin Huang.
Lin Huang unintentionally raised his head and found that the man's gaze passed through Lin Xin and fell on him. When their eyes met, the man had no intention of avoiding his gaze. Instead, he looked him up and down before looking away.
Lin Huang felt that the man's actions were a bit strange. There were more than ten people in the restaurant. Not including Lin Xin, he was definitely the weakest and the poorest. There was no reason for the man to look at him.
"Maybe it's because I'm a newcomer, so he's looking at me a bit more." Lin Huang comforted himself.
After finishing dinner with Lin Xin, the two prepared to return to their room. They had just stood up and walked two steps when the scarred man at the table behind Lin Xin put down the cutlery in his hands and walked towards them.
Lin Huang pretended not to see him. He pulled Lin Xin out of the restaurant and walked towards the third floor. They did not expect the tall man to also reach the third floor. The two turned right and the scarred man followed.
"Why are you following us?" Lin Huang frowned and suddenly turned around to ask cautiously. At the same time, he used one hand to protect Lin Xin behind him.
"It's on the way." The scarred man glanced at Lin Huang and walked past them to the end of the corridor. He stopped in front of Room 301 and entered the room after swiping the card.
Lin Huang felt awkward and pulled Lin Xin back to their room.
"Brother, that uncle just now looked scary." Lin Xin patted her chest as soon as the door was closed. "I thought he was a bad guy when I saw him chasing after us."
"Don't worry. Even if he's a bad guy, there are other hunters in the hotel. What a weird guy!" Lin Huang recalled what the hotel owner said when he first entered the hotel. The guest in Room 301 was a weirdo who liked to practice his sword skills in the garden in the middle of the night. He thought to himself, "He really is a weirdo!"
After dinner, Lin Huang had been watching the Reserve Hunter assessment videos on the Heart Intranet. The Hunters' Association would not release the complete video of the assessment. Only when there were some outstanding geniuses would the Hunters' Association officially release a clip of the assessment. The main purpose was to advertise the Hunters' Association and attract more people to apply for the Reserve Hunter position.
Of course, Lin Huang wasn't going to look at the performances of those geniuses. He just wanted to see some content related to the assessment or the main examiner's train of thought, which might be helpful for his assessment.
After watching more than 20 videos and looking up some information, it was already late at night.
Lin Xin had already washed up and gone to bed. Lin Huang stretched his body and turned off the Heart Network. He went to the bathroom to take a shower before going to bed.
Not long after he fell asleep, Lin Huang heard the sound of a door closing in the corridor. The clock projected from his ring showed that it was 12 am
Lin Huang hesitated for a moment before he sat up and opened the window. He walked to the balcony in his pajamas and looked at the garden downstairs.
The two street lamps near the entrance of the garden and the hotel's door light lit up the entire garden. Insects were chirping in the bushes, showing off the vitality of the summer.
Not long after, the scar-faced man walked out of the hotel and walked straight to the lawn on the left of the garden. He didn't seem to move, but there was a black sword in his hand.
Lin Huang couldn't tell the grade of the sword. His attention was not on it, but on the lawn under the man's feet. Does this guy damage the lawn every day and the boss comes to fix it every day?
On the lawn, the scar-faced man closed his eyes and stood still for a moment. Suddenly, he took a step forward with the sword in his right hand and slashed forward diagonally.
His action made Lin Huang's eyes light up. What he lacked the most right now was a powerful attack. He immediately stared at the scar-faced man's every move.
The scar-faced man's set of sword techniques had a total of 18 forms. Under his demonstration, it was quite murderous. It was unclear whether he didn't notice or didn't care that Lin Huang was secretly learning. He practiced the set of sword techniques three times before he put away the sword and turned to go back to the hotel.
After memorizing the 18 forms, Lin Huang practiced them a few times with his bare hands. He seemed to feel that it wasn't enough, so he took out the sword from his storage space and began to practice seriously.
His understanding was not bad. The scar-faced man only practiced it three times and he basically learned the 18 forms, even though it was just for show.
Lin Huang was so focused on practicing the 18 forms that he didn't notice that the lawn where the man was practicing was not damaged at all. There were no signs of anyone stepping on it.
Just as Lin Huang practiced the set of sword techniques for the fifth time, a notification rang in his ears. Then, a translucent notification popped up in front of him.
"Congratulations, you have obtained Skill Card" Great Sword Scripture "Card x1!"
Seeing the notification, Lin Huang was overjoyed and immediately practiced even harder.
"I don't know how many card pieces I need to get to assemble this Skill Card. Whatever, I'll practice this set of sword techniques a few hundred times in one night. I don't believe that I can't assemble a complete Skill Card!"
However, after practicing for three times, he realized that he didn't get any card pieces. "Could it be that I only get one card piece every five times?"
Thinking about this, he quickly practiced for two more times but still didn't get any card pieces.
"What's going on?" Lin Huang thought it was strange, "Could it be that it has nothing to do with practice? How do I get the card pieces then?"
With that question in mind, Lin Huang practiced again and again. When he was on his eighth try, the second notification was heard and the notification box appeared again.
"Congratulations, you have obtained Skill Card" Great Sword Scripture "Card x1!"
"Another card piece? Is it a random one?" Lin Huang could not help but ask Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, are the card pieces that I got from practicing random as well?"
"No, only when the effect of the skill is more than 80% of the skill's effect can it be considered as an effective practice. However, only the first time an effective practice will give you card pieces. Repeated practice will not give you card pieces. Only when the effect of the skill is 100%, repeated practice will give you card pieces. "
Xiao Hei's answer gave Lin Huang a sudden realization.
"Oh, I see! In other words, the reason why I didn't get card pieces was because the effect did not reach the standard of 80%. When the effect of the fifth practice reached the standard, I got card pieces. However, the reason why I didn't get card pieces for the rest of the practice was because I repeated the same action for the fifth practice. "
Realizing this, Lin Huang started practicing seriously. Again and again, he recalled the actions of the tall man in the garden and tried his best to replicate it. As long as the effect of the practice was 100%, he would be able to get card pieces continuously.
With that thought in mind, Lin Huang practiced his sword skills over and over again, tirelessly.
