Gu Fei, who had accepted the quest to get rid of his 30 PK points, was in a good mood. He was prepared to go offline immediately after completing this quest. This was something to be happy about.
To be honest, Gu Fei was having a great time playing the game. In the game, he had the opportunity to fight with kung fu that he would never have in his daily life, and Gu Fei enjoyed the experience very much. However, he had always been very careful about moderation. In fact, with his work and his habits, he could definitely spare more time to play the game, but he never did so. He had always been very serious, only playing the game for two to three hours a day, enjoying the fun of kung fu fights before logging off.
However, ever since he joined the guild quest, Gu Fei had repeatedly broken the time he had set for himself to log off. But this was also a helpless thing. The world of the game naturally had its rules, and sometimes they had to be obeyed. Otherwise, even in this virtual world, it would be difficult to survive.
Gu Fei couldn't help but think of a saying: people in the pugilistic world cannot do as they please.
He wasn't in the pugilistic world yet, it was just a stupid game, and there were some things that he was forced to do.
For example, if he didn't take advantage of the moment 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 every time. After experiencing being chased by the guards today to get rid of his PK points, 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 to get his PK points below 30.
With such determination, Gu Fei once again delayed the time for him to go offline. The new quest that he had just received would drop his PK points to 29, which was considered a safe line for Gu Fei.
He whistled, looked at the coordinates of the quest, and pushed open the door of the Wanted Quest Office.
A gust of wind blew.
It was the strongest gust Gu Fei had felt since he entered the game.
At that moment, Gu Fei unleashed the strongest Kungfu energy he had ever displayed since he entered the game.
The decision he made to dodge the gust of wind did not go through his brain. It was an instinctive reflex of his body. This was a conditioned reflex that Gu Fei practiced martial arts in the morning, in the afternoon, at night, and even in his dreams.
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, and the speed of one's movements was always a kind 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 action. To actually perform and complete this action, one needed data.
Gu Fei's data was actually not considered slow, but in this sudden attack, he was still slightly slower in the face of this gust of wind. Even though his body made extraordinary judgment and reactions, it didn't help him dodge all of it. He only dodged part of it.
Dodging part of it meant that part of it was also hit, so the damage was also part of it.
Gu Fei lost his balance, but he didn't fall down.
As long as it was possible, Gu Fei would never fall down.
This time, he could. Although after this gust of wind, Gu Fei's health was already in the red, he still managed to stabilize himself after staggering a few steps.
The second gust of wind arrived.
This time, Gu Fei was prepared. Moreover, his reflexes didn't slow down at all, so this time, he dodged the attack. At the same time, he saw the attacker clearly: the system guard.
The system guard was indeed as strong as Gu Fei thought. These two attacks were just normal attacks, but the speed and strength were all at a level that Gu Fei had never seen before in the game.
This kind of attack was even more difficult to deal with than the skill "Earth Splitting Slash."
The "Earth Splitting Slash" had to fly, land, and make a pose. How much time was wasted in the process? In comparison, the damage and attack range of a normal attack were certainly not as powerful as a skill like "Earth Splitting Slash," but they were clean, neat, and accurate.
The simplest moves were often the most effective.
This was a term that was often mentioned in Kung Fu, and it was actually reflected in this system guard.
However, Gu Fei was an expert, and he still saw through the mystery behind it.
A mere robot couldn't possibly display such a profound level of Kung Fu. There was only one reason for this: the difference in strength between the system guard and Gu Fei was too great.
When the difference was too great, complicated moves would seem redundant. Perhaps they would be just as effective in terms of damage, but from the perspective of efficiency, they would always be inferior to simple moves.
This complicated thought only flashed in Gu Fei's mind for an instant, because the opponent's third attack had arrived.
One slash, another slash, and another slash.
These were the three attacks that the system guard made against Gu Fei. Except for the first one, which was too sudden for Gu Fei to guard against, Gu Fei successfully dodged the last two attacks. After seeing the situation clearly, he was a little elated.
There was only one 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 place from different places. There was always a sequence. 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 the lone guard.
Gu Fei was full of confidence, and didn't consider that his health was already red, and that he would die in front of such a powerful guard.
The guard's fourth slash came.
It was still a straight slash.
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 opponent raised his hand, Gu Fei had already made a counterattack.
The sword slashed down, and a gust of wind swept past, but Gu Fei had already dodged to the side.
"Dual Flame Flash!" Gu Fei slashed down heavily.
With a "clang", Gu Fei's sword slashed down on the guard's shield, just like the first time he attacked this group of guards. Against such a fierce attack, their reaction speed definitely wouldn't be slow.
Gu Fei didn't even pause his attack. With a quick flick of his wrist, his sword slashed down from the shield. By the side of the shield, his sword had turned into a stab, stabbing straight for the system guard's waist.
"Dodge!!!" Gu Fei finally finished chanting.
There was a certain amount of time between the summoning incantation and the activation incantation. Normal ranged Mages didn't have much of a reaction to this setting, but for a melee Mage like Gu Fei, this setting made his attacks even more unpredictable.
Kung Fu moves were not as simple as a system guard's slash.
Every technique had multiple variations and follow-up moves, and 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 incantation, and a powerful attack was perfectly executed.
When the guard was hit, 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. Up until now, Gu Fei hadn't seriously used this skill in a real battle.
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 bolt of lightning that was fired in parallel.
However, apart from the direction in which it was launched, 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. Taking this into consideration, the System gave this skill a special condition: the secondary hand couldn't use it.
In addition, this skill had another characteristic: the lightning needed some time to condense in the palm. This characteristic somewhat went against the quick and direct nature of lightning spells, so the power of 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 the System's mission for players around level 40, this skill was not that amazing, and there were also such skill scrolls on the market.
However, any magic skill had to be reconstructed in the hands of Gu Fei. For example, although this Lightning Palm was also a long-range attack, it was used in close combat during practice.
After condensing the lightning, he grasped the timing and struck out with his palm.
Gu Fei's skills were not limited to various types of weapons, he was also proficient in many palm techniques, fist techniques, and leg techniques. To him, striking someone with his palm was as simple and accurate as slashing someone with his sword.
Therefore, the moment he struck, he released the Lightning Palm. Having the ability to attack from a distance did not mean that its power would be reduced in the slightest at close range. In the process of Gu Fei's research, he had already killed countless monsters with his palm.
Gu Fei's use of the skill gave it a new value.
His main hand was the Double Flame Flash of the Night Stream Sword, and his secondary hand was the Lightning Palm. This meant that as a melee Mage, Gu Fei also had the mastery of both hands, just like a Berserker. Moreover, the attack of his secondary hand was not weakened at all.
