Chapter 264: Epic!

Chapter 264: Epic!



Having just mastered two new techniques, Ren couldn't help but feel eager to put them into practice. However, since his villa lacked a training ground, he had to temporarily suppress his enthusiasm.

"My Weapon Master (Legendary) profession, combined with my innate talent for Metal Transformation Technique, is naturally suited for various combat scenarios."

"In other words, with my nearly instantaneous Metal Transformation Technique, my legendary profession, Weapon Master, has been significantly enhanced!"

"First, I no longer need to carry six or seven weapons into every battle to adapt to different combat situations, greatly reducing my burden."

"From now on, I only need to carry a suitable amount of special metal, which can achieve the effect of carrying multiple weapons."

"Secondly, during combat, the sudden transformation of my weapons and the resulting drastic changes in my fighting style will surely catch my enemies off guard."

At this thought, Ren's furrowed brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

As for why he chose to improve Kadara Fist Technique, it was because after some consideration, Ren believed that when fighting against wizards, sometimes closing the distance and attacking with extreme speed and frequency could yield better results.

Ren hadn't seen Kraya in a while, so he naturally wanted to chat with her.

Looking at the four newly acquired Intermediate Techniques, Ren's face lit up with satisfaction.

For a moment, Kraya was speechless.

At that moment, a luxurious carriage adorned with the Calibird emblem and two teams of elite cavalry totaling twenty-four people were already waiting at the Horizon Inn's entrance, while Kraya and her maid had just exited the inn.

"It's truly rare."

"Of course." Ren smiled.

"Yes, Miss Kraya." Ren nodded after a brief moment of thought.

This immediately reminded him of the sparring sessions he used to have with Kraya.

However, the inn's entrance was crowded and noisy, not suitable for a chat, so Kraya nodded at Ren and then boarded the carriage.

"I'll take care of Lord Ren's warhorse," said the butler, Yodel, with a smile.

"Lord Ren, Miss Kraya invites you to join her in the carriage." Just as Ren was about to mount his Swift Warhorse, Blackie, and follow the cavalry behind Kraya's carriage, the head maid, Shadiya, approached with a smile.

This caused Laksur and his men to burst into laughter.

"Yes, and shields, single-handed axes..."

Ren muttered to himself, recalling the previous sparring sessions with Kraya, which were more like one-sided lessons from her.

According to their prior agreement, Ren and his subordinates had expected Kraya to arrive in Myester County by Imperial Flying Ship, as it was not only faster than a carriage but also safer.

Kraya couldn't help but notice Ren riding a tall horse.

With the investment of Golden Skill Points, Kadara Fist Technique instantly leveled up to lv13, and Ren felt as if he had entered a mysterious space, experiencing years of Kadara Fist Technique training in the blink of an eye.

"By the way, Ren, do you remember the Great Bear Sword Technique I taught you before? However, in terms of level and power, the Great Bear Sword Technique isn't that strong as a Supernatural Technique. Here, I have a scroll of Arcadia Sword Technique, which I'll give to you as a gift for our meeting."

A few minutes later.

The entire team galloped ahead, and by noon, they had already reached Wales County. The agreed-upon location was approximately two hours away.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in the open space, moving at high speed, and the clanging sounds of their clashes echoed frequently.

As for the Radiant Greatsword and other weapons, Ren attached them to both sides of his Swift Warhorse, Blackie.

"As expected, just as I predicted! Two secret techniques have given birth to two techniques!" Ren's face lit up with joy.

After understanding this, Ren immediately checked the skills under the Combat Master (Legendary) profession panel.

This made Kraya realize why Ren's strength had grown to such an extent in just half a year.

"It has a one plus one is greater than two effect!"

Although it was just a friendly spar, the elite cavalrymen sitting nearby watched with great interest.

"I estimate that you'll master it within a month or two."

Although Ren's display of Arcadia Sword Technique was still rudimentary, and he was clearly at a disadvantage, Kraya could sense that Ren's control over the technique was gradually improving during the process.

After pondering for a while, Ren summarized his insights on the various weapons and the conditions under which they should be used.

"Yes, have you heard of the Ancient Ogre?"

"I just used 2 points, and I still have 6 Golden Skill Points left.

"The Bloodburner, these fools dare to cause trouble for you, seeking their own demise." A Black Flame Cultivator in a black robe, with a black flame emblem on his collar, stepped forward and flattered.

A Knight or a Great Knight could easily master various weapons, but to become proficient in several weapons was a challenging endeavor. It required an immense amount of time, effort, and exceptional talent to achieve such mastery.

Kraya's beautiful eyes looked at Ren with curiosity.

Heavy Punch Combo (Intermediate Technique) Effect: Utilizing a special force-enhanced punching technique, unleash a rapid series of powerful blows in a short time.

However, Kraya's expression turned thoughtful as if she had remembered something. She continued, "Your talent reminds me of an ancient race from the past who shared similarities with you."

Don't forget that Kadara Fist Technique has two secret techniques.

Ren was eager to see what kind of technique Arcadia Sword Technique would unlock once he mastered it.

In other words, if Ren fought with the Radiant Greatsword, it would be slightly sharper, but it couldn't transform.

Riding on the tall Swift Warhorse 'Little Black,' Ren was followed by a Ferocious Transformation Warhound pup named 'Curious,' which drew attention as they arrived at the Horizon Inn.

Ren gladly accepted Kraya's offer to learn Arcadia Sword Technique.

Ren's eyes lit up with an idea. He decided to upgrade the four newly understood Intermediate Techniques and earn more Golden Skill Points.

Thousand Blade King?

Kraya quickly thought of another issue. She glanced at the Skull Hammer at Ren's waist and asked,

This was why Laksool intended to take action personally.

"The Sonic Technique is suitable for dealing with groups of enemies who are not individually powerful."

Recalling a past event, Ren couldn't help but smile.

So, Ren decided to bring his weapon along.

Ren chose to enhance his Kadara Fist Technique.

"Instead, we'll travel by carriage from Minster to Wales County and then to Myester."

Additionally, considering the target would likely have a certain number of escorts, it was necessary to have a skilled expert to ensure a swift resolution within two to three minutes and the safe extraction of the baron's daughter.

And so, the four Intermediate Techniques—Flash Slash, Iron Wall, Heavy Punch Combo, and Swift Cut—were all upgraded by Ren to Advanced Techniques.

The next second,

As the Golden Skill Points decreased from 6 to 2, the system displayed: [Congratulations, you have understood the Intermediate Technique of Locke's Axe Shield Technique: Flash Slash!]



"Ren, we agreed that you would only use Arcadia Sword Technique, otherwise, I won't be your opponent," Kraya said with a smile.

Seizing the opportunity, Ren approached Kraya and said, "Miss Kraya, if possible, I'd like to seek your guidance in learning Arcadia Sword Technique."

"Thank you, Miss Kraya. I look forward to your teachings."

However, Ren reconsidered. He could place his weapon on the Ferocious Transformation Swift Warhorse 'Little Black,' which wouldn't burden him and would allow for faster combat without affecting his movement.

Ren had no more skill points left, but Kadara Fist Technique had already reached level 12 from level 10 when he first became a Weapon Master.

"This is where 'Metal Transformation Technique' and the legendary Weapon Master profession excel!"

Swift Cut (Intermediate Technique) Effect: Utilizing a special force-enhanced blade technique with finger claws, swiftly swing and slice through the enemy's limbs.

"But with limited points, I can't upgrade them all. I'll need to think carefully."

"The Ancient Ogres once lived in the primeval forests, where ferocious beasts, giant creatures, and even more terrifying ancient ogres roamed. Despite the harsh environment, they established the powerful Ancient Ogre Empire."

From the perspective of enemies skilled in Magic or long-range attacks, close-quarters combat could induce panic.

When Ren entered the carriage, he was surprised to find the interior spacious and luxurious, with two rows of seats and a long, brown wooden table in the middle.

Especially since this was a Supernatural Technique derived from a Sword Saint! The Sonic Technique he had learned from Great Bear Sword Technique was not bad, but it differed significantly from the traditional Two-Handed Longsword-derived Techniques.

[Congratulations, you have understood]



Of course, he was also curious about the Techniques Kadara Fist Technique would unlock.

The main route to Myester was heavily guarded with patrolling squads.

As noon approached, the group naturally took a break and rested in a nearby woodland, soon gathering around several bonfires.

[Congratulations, you have comprehended the Intermediate Technique of Kadara Fist Technique: Swift Cut!]



Hmm? It's an Epic-level profession!

"I still don't have a long-range attack technique."

"Is this information confirmed?" Lak Su seemed a bit surprised.

The next morning.

On a road, several burly men with the Imperial Special Department Earthshaker emblem were lying on the side of the road, their bodies bearing numerous wounds and signs of significant blood loss.

[Promotion to Thousand Blade King (Epic) prerequisites: 1. Weapon Master level 9 or above; 2. Mastery of nine different techniques; 3. Physical second stage limit value at 90% or higher; 4. Any breath technique level 18 or above; 5. Strength, Agility, and Constitution at 50 points or higher each. Current conditions do not meet the requirements! Promotion to Thousand Blade King (Epic) failed!]



"The one-handed axe and shield technique is also suitable for defensive counterattacks or when there's no opportunity to attack for a short time."

At the same time, Rain quickly noticed two new icons above 'Kadara Fist Technique' on the Weapon Master (Legendary) panel.

To achieve Rain's level of mastery, one would need to comprehend Extraordinary Techniques in almost every weapon category and reach the advanced level in each. This was incredibly difficult, especially for techniques suitable for dealing with powerful individuals or large, ferocious beasts.

Inside the carriage.

The timing was just right.

A middle-aged man in a black robe, with bloodlight emanating from his body, was present. However, as the battle ended, the bloodlight gradually faded.

Rain had not only heard of this, but he had also researched several ancient books on the subject.

"Do you want to practice sword techniques?" Rain's heart stirred at Kraya's suggestion.

"Hmm? Am I getting on the carriage too? What about my warhorse?"

Kraya smiled and took a pale yellow, ancient scroll from Shadiya's hand, passing it to Rain.

This kind of comprehension of Extraordinary Techniques was truly terrifying!

Although Kraya didn't quite believe it, she immediately nodded in agreement.

"Well, I just received news from the Habsbaron Mansion. Their young lady did not arrive in Myester via military airship."

"Besides the two-handed longsword, you should also be skilled in hammer techniques, right? Are there any others?"

"Of course, you must forge yourself before you can forge others."

So, they were all prepared, as the Imperial Flying Ship's landing point was on the route to the Habsbaron Mansion.

"It seems the next step is to try and find a throwing Extraordinary Technique."

Rain was currently wearing a skull-shaped warhammer on his waist, the 'Skull Hammer,' and a long wooden box on his back containing a replica of the Imperial Staff.

Rain originally didn't plan to bring the Radiant Greatsword, as its surface had undergone quenching and polishing, and using Metal Transformation Technique would ruin the hardened effect.

"Arcadia Sword Technique?"

Gathering firewood and cooking were tasks that didn't require Rain and Kraya's attention; the butler Yodel and the maid Shadiya had already arranged everything efficiently.

"Rain, don't tell me you've already comprehended it? In such a short time on the carriage?"

"Stop flattering me. By the way, how's that matter going?" Lak Su waved his hand.

"Alright, I'll take care of it."

Kraya's chest heaved, and her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Rain.

After Rain boarded the carriage, the entire team set off slowly towards Wales County.

The two of them soon arrived at an open space in the nearby woodland.

"Hmm!" Rain's eyes lit up.

"However, the entry difficulty for this sword technique is relatively high. But with your talent, I believe you won't find it too challenging to learn."

"This is closely related to the ancient ogre's exceptional combat prowess."

"It's just a bit of a pity. If we had more group attack techniques, even if the enemy's strength is a notch higher, we could still annihilate them! We lack group attack techniques."

Rain sighed inwardly.

This kind of talent for quickly comprehending Extraordinary Techniques was truly incredible, "Rain, you've already mastered so many different weapon techniques. Even in the Capital, I've rarely seen anyone with your talent or ability."

"That would be amazing!"

"Rain, are you proficient in several Extraordinary Techniques?"

"Ancient races?" Rain's eyebrows rose, showing interest in Kraya's topic.

Rain's heart stirred, and he immediately took the scroll, unrolling it to read.

After bidding farewell to his family and the beautiful Jennifer, Rain set off towards the Horizon Inn where Kraya was staying.

The Arcadia Sword Technique was performed with wide swings, and the attack was quite flashy. Even Kraya, the weaker of the two, possessed the strength of a Peak Knight, a level that cavalry found hard to reach.

If the time exceeded ten minutes, the Imperial Swordsmen in Myester County Town would surely be alerted, and they would quickly come to their aid. So, as a precaution, it was best to resolve the battle within five minutes.

"Sir, I have some important information to report," the black-robed man said, his expression turning peculiar as he seemed to recall something.

Minutes later, a high-speed figure came to an abrupt halt.

"Indeed, while I may not be your match now, if you wish to practice the Arcadia Sword Technique, I am always available for a spar," Kraya suggested, her eyes gleaming as she watched the swordplay.

"As I mentioned before, I've been practicing the Great Bear Sword Technique since I was young. It's a family heirloom," Kraya explained, her smile growing brighter as she recalled the past.

In a narrow space, the Kadara Fist Technique proved to be exceptionally effective, as demonstrated in Rain's previous cave battle against the Sea God Messenger, Myalko.

The news they received now was even more intriguing! Their target had chosen to travel by carriage from Minster to Wales County, and then on to Myester County.

"For this purpose, they've built an ancient and majestic arena, not only to showcase their bravery in fighting beasts but also to engage in combat amongst themselves," the report continued.

Rain's mind raced with thoughts as he heard this—Myester County, Wolf Hill Ridge.

"Lastly, and most importantly, it's best if you can transform each weapon created through Metal Transformation to the level of Techniques!"

The master of a thousand blades was being a bit exaggerated, wasn't he?

"Don't be so polite, Rain. Remember, I'm your Guardian Knight now," Kraya reminded him.

[Congratulations! You have understood the Intermediate Technique of the Kadara Fist Technique: Swift Cut!]



"Two ferocious pets?" Kraya's eyes lit up as she immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of Rain's warhorse and the warhound behind him.

Suddenly, Rain froze as a system prompt appeared: [Ding! Host is listening to ancient secrets, triggering the Legendary Weapon Master's special advanced class change—Thousand Blade King (Epic)!]



Kraya's luxurious carriage was pulled by four horses, so its speed wasn't much slower than that of a cavalry.

"Of course."

"If the Tempered Gold is transformed into a bow, the bow's arm elasticity is too poor, and its power is not as effective as that of a throwing weapon. Just like today, when you countered, you used the Metal Transformation Technique to create a short spear," Rain explained.

As Rain came back to his senses, the system prompt arrived as promised:

"Hmm?"

(Swift Cut is raised to Intermediate Technique, requiring the following conditions: 1. Kadara Fist Technique level 14 or higher; 2. Bear King Breath Technique level 14 or higher; 3. Strength 38 points, Agility 35 points, Constitution 32 points or higher; 4. Consumes 1 Golden Skill Point.) Rain's expression turned thoughtful once more, and he crossed his arms, pacing back and forth in the room.

The previous day, she had witnessed Rain slay the Ice Messenger, Grant, using a short spear.

"Among the bravest and most skilled warriors, the one who excels in using weapons will be crowned the 'Thousand Blade King,' a title that grants them a high status within the tribe!"

In other words, subsequent skill points would only require Golden Skill Points.

"Yes, Arcadia, whose full name is Arcadia Pason, was a famous Sword Saint hundreds of years ago. Rain, you can take a look at this first; it should be of some help to you," Kraya suggested.

"If you raise the four newly understood Intermediate Techniques to Advanced Techniques, it will only require 4 Golden Skill Points," she added.

"I think I've grasped it to some extent. If Miss Kraya could spare some time to teach me, I believe I'll master it quickly," Rain replied.

"Basically, adult ogres are highly skilled in using various weapons in combat, just like you. They use two-handed longswords, heavy hammers, long spears, and various throwing weapons," Kraya explained.

"It's easy to imagine that in a battle, one's weapon could change from dual war hammers to a thrown short spear. The enemy, caught off guard, might be unprepared and vulnerable, giving you the opportunity to seize the advantage," Kraya elaborated.

"Indeed, it seems I don't need to intervene. This young lady from the Habus Family doesn't seem to understand who she's up against," Rain mused.

He focused his gaze on the Kadara Fist Technique.

"Since she's going to Wales County, I'll just wait here for Galina's good news."

Galina had succeeded Laksur as the High Priestess of Wales County, known for her ruthlessness and expertise in illusions.

"Contact Galina. Ask her to find a suitable opportunity to handle this matter. I don't care about the others, but I want that Baron's daughter alive," Rain instructed.

"Yes, sir," the black-robed man responded.
