Chapter 135: A Wild Rampage!
Chapter 135: A Wild Rampage!
Next up is the Knight (Extraordinary) panel.
The options for this are much broader.
The first thing that came to Rain's mind was to allocate points to Break Limit.
Break Limit is an all-out explosive boost to one's physical attributes, and when activated, it significantly increases strength, agility, and constitution.
Due to the previous two-point increase in constitution, Rain's current Break Limit value has already reached 40%.
From this perspective, constitution has a stronger positive correlation with physical Break Limit compared to agility.
40% Break Limit means that after activating it, Rain's strength, agility, and constitution will all increase by 40%, resulting in a direct surge in combat power.
The strength of a veteran Knight will be fully demonstrated!
Furthermore, Rain currently has four skill points, and if they are all allocated to Break Limit, it can immediately reach 80%!
Tsk!
He can directly surpass the 60% threshold and enter the realm of Peak Knights!
At the same time, Rain's two Extraordinary Abilities, Giant Strength Level 2 and Iron Skin Level 2, can also smoothly advance to Level 3.
The combined effect of these two abilities will undoubtedly lead to a tremendous increase in strength!
This fully demonstrates the saying, 'The degree of Break Limit, to a certain extent, basically determines the strength of a Knight!'
Another option for allocating points is the Bear Sword Technique.
Currently, Rain's Bear Sword Technique has reached Level 6, and if he follows the conventional path, he will need a full 3,000 experience points to advance to Level 7.
Obviously, allocating skill points to any Level 6 skill will result in considerable time savings.
Moreover, the Bear Sword Technique is Rain's primary combat skill, and if it can be improved to Level 7, the increase in combat power will be immediately noticeable.
Additionally, allocating points to the Bear Breathing Technique seems like a good choice, as higher levels of the technique will inevitably enhance his strength and constitution.
Of course, the effects of allocating points to the Bear Breathing Technique won't be apparent in just a day or two.
Even with haste, it will take at least a month or two for the value of allocating points to gradually become evident.
Aside from these options, the core skill Danger Sense Level 3 is also a good choice, as core skills can only be improved through allocating skill points.
Unlike other skills that can be gained through experience, if one is not in a hurry, they can always slowly accumulate the experience over time.
But core skills are different; there's no way to grind for them!
Speaking of core skills, Rain couldn't help but think of another core skill he had neglected for a long time—Hammer Mastery.
【Hammer Mastery Lv. 1 (Passive): The host's damage is slightly increased when using any hammer-type weapon.】
The current Rain is no longer as clueless about the system as he was at the beginning.
After carefully reading the system's description of Hammer Mastery twice, Rain has a vague guess that if he allocates points, the subsequent effect of Hammer Mastery will most likely change to 'slightly' and then to 'significantly'.
This caused Rain to narrow his eyes, and his mind started racing.
"Perhaps, I can't just go on a rampage!"
"It seems that I can go on a rampage!"
So, Rain took out a thin little book, which was precisely 'Tokkar's Hammer Technique Outline'.
After studying 'Tokkar's Hammer Technique Outline', Rain realized that Tokkar's Hammer Technique was very similar to the Bear Sword Technique but even more extreme, as all its moves were offensive without any defensive maneuvers!
Whether it was 'Great Hammer Smash', 'Great Hammer Leap Strike', or 'Great Hammer Sweep', they all exemplified this point.
Soon, Rain received a system prompt:
【You have studied Tokkar's Hammer Technique, and your understanding has improved!】
【You have learned a new skill - Tokkar's Hammer Technique】
【Your skill Tokkar's Hammer Technique has improved, gaining 1 experience point】
Rain opened the Knight (Extraordinary) panel, and among the ten or so skill icons at the bottom, a new icon lit up.
The icon for Tokkar's Hammer Technique Lv. 1 (1/100) was simple, depicting a pair of strong hands holding a large iron hammer, exuding power.
Speaking of practicing hammer techniques, Rain couldn't help but recall the 'Tire-Smashing Hammer Training' from his past, which seemed to be the most common physical training method among various combat sports.
Swinging a large hammer may seem simple, but its function is far from ordinary!
It not only thoroughly trains one's rotational power but also cultivates stability in core muscle groups like the waist and abdomen.
Of course, for Rain with his 18 points in constitution and 15 points in strength, this process was a bit redundant.
Currently, he urgently needed a training partner to help him quickly improve his hammer technique skill level.
Thinking of this, Rain naturally thought of Shieldmaster Lagra as his first choice.
However, it was already late, and Rain decided to leave it for the next day.
That night, Emma tossed and turned, unable to sleep well, repeatedly waking up Rain and asking:
"Oh! Didn't you see how Rain was today?"
"How did Rain manage to kill so calmly?"
"How many people has Rain killed?"
"This definitely wasn't his first time killing, right?"
". "
Although Old Rain was tired, he calmly held Emma's hand, patted it gently, and comforted her, "Don't overthink it. I know you're scared, get some rest, and you'll feel better in time. Don't be afraid."
In fact, Emma, ever since she witnessed her son Rain calmly killing several Blackflame Cultists, her heart skipped a beat.
Because she had never seen such a cold side of Rain.
As soon as she fell asleep, she would recall the scene and Rain's calm expression while killing.
In the middle of the night, Old Rain, unable to bear Emma's restlessness, replied with a hint of annoyance, "If you keep thinking that way, if Rain didn't kill them, wouldn't you be lying on the ground like those people?"
"Also, did you forget the tragic state of your friend Sima?"
This instantly left Emma speechless for a while!
Sima was one of her best friends, and Rain was also familiar with her, but this time she also died tragically in the church, especially during that terrifying ritual, where a person weighing over 170 jin was reduced to a mere 40-jin mummified corpse.
This terrifying scene made Emma shudder whenever she recalled it!
"Yes, if my son didn't kill them, they would have killed us!" Emma muttered to herself].
At that moment, Emma felt a strange sense of security in Rain's calm expression while killing.
The next morning, while having breakfast, Rain was startled by Old Rain's heavy eye bags.
"Father, are you okay? Did you not rest well last night?"
Old Rain glanced at Emma by his side and said, "I'm fine, just some mosquitoes buzzing all night. By the time I killed them, it was almost dawn."
Rain was taken aback by his father's words, looking out the window at the early winter weather, thinking, "Are there still mosquitoes in this weather?"
After breakfast, as Rain was about to find Lagra to practice his hammer technique, George's familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Is Rain in?"
Rain immediately opened the door and walked out.
As soon as George saw Rain, he gestured to his height and his eyes widened in surprise, "Wow! Rain, is that really you?"
Although it had been over half a month since Rain had grown to be the same height as George, now Rain was even taller by a small margin!
George looked at Rain with a complex expression, "Rain, how did you grow so fast!"
"No, none of this matters!"
"I just want to ask you, was it you who killed the cultists and saved us?"
George asked this with his gaze fixed on Rain.
Rain thought for a moment and chose not to hide the truth, nodding, "George, yes, it was me."
"Rain, does that mean you've entered the realm of the extraordinary and become a full knight?" George asked, realizing it belatedly.
Rain nodded again at George.
Although he didn't want to admit this to his good friend George, some things were gradually becoming impossible to hide.
After all, the night watchmen of Flashgold Town now knew of his strength.
"Rain, does this mean I have a full knight as a good friend?" George stammered.
"Of course, unless you don't consider me your friend!" Rain hammered George's chest and laughed.
At that moment, George's expression was quite complex.
How did Rain become a knight so quickly?
This is too fast!
Also, I actually have a full knight as a friend!
This is so cool!
Various thoughts flooded George's young mind for half an hour.
Administrative Training Ground.
Lagra chose an ironwood axe and held the repaired giant round shield, while Rain took a dozen-pound oak hammer and stood with Lagra in the field.
Lagra tapped the shield with the axe, making a crisp sound, and said, "Let's go!"
"Lagra, you need to be careful."
Rain's left foot tapped, and he quickly rushed towards Lagra. When he was a few meters away, he leaped up and held the oak hammer, delivering a powerful overhead strike.
It was the 'Great Hammer Leap Strike' of Tokkar Hammer Technique!
Lagra didn't retreat but instead jumped high, raising her shield and delivering a powerful shield bash!
"Bang!"
A loud hammer-shield collision sound echoed!
Lagra in mid-air felt a strong shockwave from the shield, and she was pushed back several meters.
Lagra stared at Rain in surprise.
Isn't this his first time practicing hammer technique?
How can he be so skilled already?
