Chapter 430

A Detection Spell flew from his fingertips.

[Skill Stele (Low-level)]

[You can learn skills through the Stele.]

The Detection Spell accurately provided the function of the Stele, but it did not explain the skills depicted on it.

On this platform, there were exactly three steles of the same size.

He went to look at the other two steles.

[Skill: Wood Slash]

[Wood Slash: Basic sword technique, can cut through hardwood.]

[Skill: Stone Slash]

[Stone Slash: Basic sword technique, can cut through bluestone.]

These were also two basic sword techniques.

After glancing at them a few times, Lin Moyu determined that the three sword techniques were each different.

Wind Slash followed a light path, with the fastest speed but the weakest power.

Wood Slash followed a technical path, flexible and versatile.

Stone Slash followed a power path, straightforward, with heavy force and steady momentum.

Lin Moyu realized that the next stage of the trial should be related to these three skills.

He immediately began to learn them earnestly.

Chapter 399: Competition Unfolds Silently

…

The platforms were like a Dungeon; there were as many platforms as there were people.

Each platform had one person standing on it, and the three steles were exactly the same.

No matter what profession they had, everyone encountered the same three steles and the same three skills.

Some who were originally Swordsman Professionals found it relatively easy to learn.

For some magic-type Professionals, learning was much more difficult.

There were also some people whose eyes were like they were covered by a layer of mist, making it difficult to see the content on the steles.

This mist came from the animals they had killed.

Whether they were stepped on accidentally or killed intentionally, the result was the same; everyone was treated equally.

It was just that for those who killed fewer, the mist was a bit thinner.

If they killed many, the mist would be very thick, making it impossible to see the content on the steles at all.

At this moment, they finally realized why their elders had warned them not to kill animals.

This was the consequence of not listening to the elders' words; there was no regret medicine in the world, and regretting it now was useless.

The person who had killed the most animals was enveloped in a special aura throughout their body.

When he walked onto the suspension bridge and disappeared into the thick fog, the aura rising from him instantly mixed with the fog.

Gusts of wild wind blew in, and the suspension bridge collapsed in an instant.

He screamed as he fell off the cliff, disappearing without a trace.

On the platforms, some had comprehended the skills and were beaming with joy.

Some had their eyes covered by mist and were filled with regret.

Some could clearly see the text but still couldn't comprehend it, furrowing their brows in worry.

With only 28 people, each had a different expression.

Three hours later, accompanied by a slight tremor on the platform, the steles disappeared, and a brand-new suspension bridge appeared ahead.

Lin Moyu slowly stood up; he had already mastered the three skills more than two hours ago.

For him, there was no difficulty at all.

He stepped onto the suspension bridge and walked forward.

The other end of the suspension bridge was also connected to a platform.

Feeling the wind blowing past his ears, he passed through layers of white fog.

Lin Moyu stepped onto this platform.

A sharp sword was stuck at the edge of the platform, and in the center of the platform, a person stood.

He held a sharp sword and stared fixedly at Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu saw at a glance that this was not a human, but a puppet, a Swordsman puppet.

Third stage, defeat the opponent.

Lin Moyu understood immediately that the three skills learned on the previous platform were prepared for this moment.

If one hadn't mastered those three skills, it probably wouldn't be easy to defeat the opponent.

After Lin Moyu figured it out, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Then let's try it."

Originally, he wanted to take a sword from his storage space, but he found that the storage space was locked, and he couldn't take anything out.

"They really don't let anyone exploit loopholes."

After Lin Moyu understood why, he casually pulled out the long sword stuck in the ground.

The Swordsman puppet in the center of the platform moved the moment he pulled out the sword, rushing over quickly with great speed.

Lin Moyu watched the charging Swordsman puppet, "Judging from the speed, the Agility attribute should be between 500 and 700."

"The attributes are not high, about the same as most people."

"But for me…"

After eating the [Initial Fruit], all attributes were 10,000; a mere 500 attributes were nothing at all.

The Swordsman puppet rushed in front of Lin Moyu and slashed with its sword.

Skill: Wind Slash!

The sword momentum was fast and silent, as if it could truly cut through the breeze.

Lin Moyu also returned the favor with a Wind Slash; the sword light flashed, striking first despite moving later, and the speed was far faster than the Swordsman puppet.

The sword light instantly slashed through the Swordsman puppet.

Clang!

The Swordsman puppet's long sword fell to the ground, and the entire puppet fell apart, subsequently turning into a special aura that landed on Lin Moyu.

His attributes suddenly increased by a portion; each attribute increased by 500, which was not much.

It seemed like the Swordsman puppet's attributes were added to his own.

A suspension bridge appeared again in front of the platform.

"It's this simple?"

Lin Moyu hadn't expected the opponent to be so fragile; it ended with just one sword strike.

The key was that his attributes were too strong; whether it was Strength or Agility, he completely crushed the opponent.

Plus, using the same skills, of course he won easily.

If it were someone else, it wouldn't have been this simple.

On other platforms, various battles were ongoing.

Ling Yizhan and the Swordsman puppet were locked in a tangle, trading blows back and forth, fighting with great intensity.

Ling Yizhan's attributes were similar to the Swordsman puppet's, and as a Knight, he had also mastered the three skills, although his proficiency was not as good as Lin Moyu's.

Relying on these three skills, it was enough to confront the Swordsman puppet head-on.

There were also Mage-type Professionals who had not comprehended these three skills and were beaten by the Swordsman puppet, screaming and in a sorry state.

Lin Mohan held a long sword, using the three skills alternately, and relying on her own attributes, which far exceeded the Swordsman puppet, she firmly suppressed the Swordsman puppet.

Ning Yiyi used only the Wind Slash move back and forth; her movements were extremely flexible, fully utilizing the characteristics of her Assassin profession, and she also held the upper hand.

Relatively speaking, Mo Yun's side was much more strenuous.

She was very smart and had high comprehension; she had also comprehended the three skills.

It was just that she was not proficient in the Swordsman's fighting style; while struggling to resist, she was constantly learning and improving very quickly.

Lin Moyu passed through the mist again and stepped onto the third platform.

"Does this count as the fourth stage?"

At this moment, he was a bit unsure.

The third stage, as described by Mo Xinghe, seemed too simple for him.

He had ended the battle with just one sword strike afterward, without any difficulty at all.

If the third stage were merely this, it wouldn't have been the case that no one had passed it for so many years.

On the third platform, there were four steles standing.

"Do I have to learn skills again?"

"Previously it was Swordsman skills, what is it this time…"

Just as he thought of this, Lin Moyu was suddenly stunned on the spot.

He discovered that the three skills he had just learned were gone.

They could no longer be seen in his attributes, and the specific information about those three skills was gone from his memory.

He only remembered the names of the three skills: Wind Slash, Wood Slash, and Stone Slash.

He couldn't remember anything else.

This feeling was very strange; having things he had gained suddenly and inexplicably disappear made Lin Moyu very uncomfortable.

"Could this be the reason why people who reach the third stage can never explain it clearly?"

Lin Moyu was secretly alarmed and cast his gaze toward the steles in the center of the platform.

They were exactly the same as the previous steles, both were [Skill Stele].

[Skill: Fireball]

— Seeking Flowers —

[Fireball: Fire a fireball to attack the enemy; the power is determined by Spirit.]

This time it had become Mage-type skills.

Needless to say, the other steles must also be similar skills.

He looked at them one by one, and it was indeed so.

[Skill: Wind Ball]

[Wind Ball: Fire a wind ball to attack the enemy; the power is determined by Spirit.]

[Skill: Ice Arrow]

[Ice Arrow: Fire an ice arrow to attack the enemy; the power is determined by Spirit.]

[Skill: Thunder Ball]

[Thunder Ball: Throw a thunder ball to attack the enemy; the power is determined by Spirit.]

Lin Moyu looked at the four basic skills, deep in thought.

Previously he learned three Swordsman skills, and then had to face a Swordsman puppet that also knew three Swordsman skills.

This time he had to learn four basic Mage skills, so the enemy he would face next must also be a Mage-type puppet.
