Chapter 21 Saber and Shield Spar

Although he was suspicious and wary of these four people, Zhao Gao was not too worried.

Worry would only come about because of one’s lack of strength and confidence.

Although they belonged to the same batch of Blue Star citizens who entered Talent Space together, Zhao Gao had surpassed them by so much within a short period of time.

Zhao Gao was confident that he would not let them catch up with him. He would always have the upper hand.

This was the confidence that Zhao Gao’s talent gave him!

Zhao Gao pulled the straw blanket over himself and prepared to rest while lying on his little bed.

However, before resting, he had to open his Character interface to take a look. He wanted to look at his impressive data before falling asleep.

Just like the times when he was writing a novel, he would wait until 0000 hours every day to check the subscription rate of his novel. Only after knowing the results could he fall asleep peacefully.

“Name: Zhao Gao”

“Gender: Male”

“Level: 4”

“Storage EXP: 708 660”

“Essence: 10.5”

“Spirit: 8”

“Magic: 11.5”

“Talent: Greed in the blood”

“Skills: Elementary Breathing Technique (21) Beginner Combat (19) Elementary Saber and Shield (10)”

“Evolution: 0”

“Freedom Stats: 20.5”

“Evaluation: Wu La ~ For the tribe!”

Zhao Gao decided to ignore the usually sarcastic Evaluation. He closed the system interface and went to sleep.

The next day, the beating of the drums woke Zhao Gao up again. He quickly put on his armor and ran to the field.

He rushed into the latrine, and comfortably released his full bladder.

After releasing his bladder, he slowly returned to the field and waited for everyone to gather.

Everyone had gathered in less than 20 minutes. Chiliarch Ling walked in at this point.

“Same old rules, continue with your morning practice of Saber and Shield Technique!” Chiliarch Ling shouted.

“Yes!”

“Shield!”

“Roar!”

After Chiliarch Ling gave the order, everyone began their training.

As the day before, after an hour of training, everyone started eating breakfast.

Zhao Gao quickly finished his breakfast and prepared to upgrade.

Zhao Gao first spent 32 400 EXP points to level up his Character stats.

“Character upgrade successful. Current level:

5″

“Gained growth in leveling up. Essence, Spirit, and Magic stats will each gain 1 Freedom Stats

point.”

“Talent activated. Bonus gained. Stats growth automatically increases by 0.5 stats points.”

“Character Level increased by 5. Obtained 1 Evolution point. Additional Talent Profit: 0.5.” “Total Evolution Points: 1.5”

After enduring the pain of the upgrade, Zhao Gao looked at the Beginner Combat Technique which was at level 19. He felt that it was a little irksome, so he decided to upgrade by 1 level.

“Beginner Combat upgrade successful. Consumes 305 642 EXP points. Current skill level: 20.”

The moment he leveled up, Zhao Gao was once again pulled to the mountain peak to begin his one-year practice of the Beginner Combat Technique. After regaining his senses, Zhao Gao looked at the 1 391 218 EXP points he had left.

He immediately upgraded his Elementary Breathing Technique.

“Elementary Breathing Technique upgrade successful!”

“Level 22 (396 918)”

“Level 23 (449 624)”

“Level 24 (507 346)” “Elementary Breathing Technique has increased by 3 levels. Obtained: 3 Freedom Stats points.” “Talent activated, additional reward: 1.5 freedom stats points.”

After leveling up, Zhao Gao only had 37 330 EXP points left. He was poor again.

Before Zhao Gao could lament the difficulty in gaining EXP points, Chiliarch Ling’s voice was heard again.

“Gather!”

Zhao Gao closed the system interface and quickly stood in line.

“Just like yesterday, continue to practice the Black Stone Fist.”

“Yes!”

“Punch!”

“Charge!”

“Slash!”

“Claw Strike!”

“Elbow Strike!”

“Battle Ax!”

“Whip Leg!”

“Roar… roar… roar!”

Amidst the furious roars, everyone began to practice the Black Stone Fist.

Zhao Gao retracted his scattered thoughts and focused back on the Black Stone Fist.

Regarding the Black Stone Fist, which was his own Beginner Combat Technique, Zhao Gao did not dare to try any tricks. Every practice was to help him control the strength in his body so that he could say, “I will live!” with confidence.

Over and over again. It was only through hard work and perspiration that everyone understood that they were rapidly becoming stronger.

It was not until noon that Chiliarch Ling allowed everyone to rest and prepare for lunch.

Every time they practiced the Black Stone Fist, their bodies would be rapidly depleted of their physical energy. Therefore, no one had ever seen the military camp scrimp on food. It was the same for lunch today. Lunch was a serving of braised pork and green leafy soup. The energy depleted this morning caused everyone’s appetite to be very good.

as a

Hmm… in fact it would be considered excellent. Everyone ate their lunch like ‘hungry ghosts’.

The people were no longer as reserved as they were a few days ago.

After lunch at noon, they rested till one o’clock in the afternoon, before gathering for training again.

And this time, training was conducted in pairs. However, it was a spar using Saber and Shield Technique.

“Come on!” Right after Chiliarch Ling finished speaking, Adjutant Qian automatically stood in front of Zhao Gao.

When he saw Adjutant Qian holding his sheathed large saber, Zhao Gao took a deep breath silently to calm himself down. Then, Zhao Gao’s eyes narrowed as he said sternly, “Do excuse me!”

“Bang…” Zhao Gao stomped on the ground and used the counterforce to approach Adjutant Qian at a fast speed. When he was near Adjutant Qian, Zhao Gao raised his saber with his right hand and unleashed a ‘Mountain Splitter’.

“Clang!” Zhao Gao’s saber clashed with Adjutant Qian’s scabbard.

Adjutant Qian did not even unsheathe his saber. He simply held it above his head and blocked Zhao Gao’s attack.

It looked as if Zhao Gao had automatically knocked the saber upwards.

Seeing that the attack had been blocked, Zhao raised his left shield and smashed it onto Adjutant Qian’s chest.

“Bang!” The dull clang of the shield and scabbard rang out.

It turned out that Adjutant Qian had raised the scabbard to his chest and blocked Zhao Gao’s attack.

Zhao Gao pulled back his shield; and with the saber in his right hand, he slashed at Adjutant Qian.

But Adjutant Qian only shifted his saber and blocked the attack once again.

At that instant, Zhao Gao kicked Adjutant Qian’s lower body, aiming for his left knee.

The weapon in his right hand continued to clash with Adjutant Qian, preventing his saber from back defense.

Adjutant Qian’s response was to simply raise his left foot. After dodging Zhao Gao’s kick, he stepped on Zhao Gao’s ankle.

Shocked by this action, Zhao Gao hastily used his shield to smash onto Adjutant Qian’s chest. Adjutant Qian had no choice but to use his foot to block Zhao Gao’s shield attack.

Zhao Gao reacted to the counterforce of Adjutant Qian’s kick on the shield. Retreating a few steps, he left Adjutant Qian’s attack range.

Zhao Gao broke out in cold sweat after retreating. He had not expected Adjutant Qian to be so agile.

His kick was the kick technique used in the Black Stone Fist, and he coupled it with Saber and Shield.

There was no kicking in the Saber and Shield Technique, because it was safer to use the saber and shield.
