I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 109 Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel (six thousand)

Alvin also developed some interest in this player named Liver Emperor.

Players who can rely on diligence to quickly master the skills of a school, comprehend techniques similar to hegemony, and open up new dungeons.

If he could attract the Ghost Swordsman to the Dojo later, he would definitely be a very practical tool.

Whenever he needs anything, even if it is some tedious task, he will probably just assign it to the player named Liver Emperor, who will definitely complete the task with extremely high efficiency.

However, Alvin has no idea what kind of crisis will happen in the Sgri region now.

Therefore, even if he wanted to demonstrate the powerful strength of the four major branches and attract other players to become his disciples, he couldn't think of any good way for the time being.

Therefore, he could only put these things aside and wait for the opportunity to come.

Sosia chatted with Alvin about some of today's discoveries.

Because of the arrival of the players, the tavern's business is better than before.

Sosia still liked it very much and listened quietly to the experiences of these players from other dimensions.

And since Alvin's action served as a warning, the players who come to the tavern are now much more obedient.

Although Sosia could not fully understand some of the things the players had heard, she could ask Mr. Ivan for help.

It allowed her to learn more knowledge and experiences that she had never been exposed to before.

After Alvin chatted with Sosia for a while and answered many of her questions, he realized that it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

So he drank the Elf Sleep Essence and went back to rest.

Sosia quickly wrote some new words she learned from the players before falling asleep.

At this time, most players have already fallen asleep or gone offline to deal with personal matters.

However, Ye Tingfeng, Jian Potian and Diao Zhatian were still in the state of cultivation.

The more they practiced, the more they discovered how terrifying the physical enhancement brought about by Kazan's curse was.

Not only are the left hand's upward thrusts faster and more powerful, they have also gained a preliminary sense of and control over the magic power and fighting spirit in their bodies.

Now that they have obtained the ghost hand, when they use their left hand to perform upward strikes, they can feel a force surging from the ghost hand and quickly enveloping their entire body.

This makes them more sensitive to fighting spirit and magic power.

This perception gradually deepened their understanding of fighting spirit and made their control more handy.

This made them even more in awe of Master Ivan.

They have just obtained the Ghost Hand and are not proficient in using it, but they have already felt the power of the ghosts and gods that was bestowed upon them after being recognized by Master Ivan.

Because they were practicing in the room, the three of them had not yet tried [Ghost Slash] to avoid accidentally destroying something.

According to their understanding of the game, as long as they dare to dismantle some things, they can be sure that the boss will turn around and make them pay for it.

Therefore, they could only suppress their inner excitement and wait until tomorrow to go to the vicinity of the dojo to give it a try.

Originally, their extra training was supposed to end at 10 o'clock in the evening, but because they had just obtained the ghost hand, they were in a highly excited state.

The three of them practiced until 11 o'clock in the evening before logging off.

Then Ye Tingfeng, Diao Zhatian and Jian Potian saw the updated post by Gan Di.

Jian Potian: "What do you think is the missing skill that the Liver Emperor is talking about?"

Diao Zhatian: "Maybe it's the fighting spirit that protects the body?"

Listening to the wind at night: "It seems that you have also realized it."

Diao Zhatian: "With Master's practice as an example, it's hard not to realize it. Although I haven't completely learned how to protect my body with fighting spirit, I feel that I should be able to master it smoothly after practicing more."

They don't know the specifics of other players, but for themselves personally.

The master had taught them to coordinate their breathing to control their fighting spirit and magic power in order to speed up the recovery of their physical strength.

As they watched their master practice and display the extremely handsome dragon-shaped fighting spirit, they couldn't help but become more careful about the use of fighting spirit.

So after they were able to better control their fighting spirit, these thoughts immediately emerged in their minds.

If they are given another day or two, I wouldn’t say they will quickly learn to maintain their fighting spirit to protect themselves the whole time like Master Ivan.

However, it is just the initial stage of mastering the fighting spirit to protect the body. It should not be a problem to keep the fighting spirit protecting the body when performing sword moves.

According to their understanding, whether it is magic protection or fighting spirit protection, it is similar to the dominant body, which should be able to reduce the damage received and at the same time make themselves more capable of head-on combat.

As long as you have learned these, then when you are exploring the jungle, even if you are the last to act, you can easily deal with the cat monster whose attack power is not very strong, and finally pass through the jungle with minor injuries.

If you have more combat experience, you may even be able to pass without getting hurt.

"Let's not worry about it for now. Get up early and practice tomorrow."

"The main player group will begin attacking the dungeon tomorrow."

"We need to hurry up and wait until we learn how to use fighting spirit to protect our bodies. When the dojo is closed at night, we can go and attack the dungeon."

Ye Li Ting Feng knew that they still had to practice step by step, but they also had to consider setting aside some time every day to tackle the dungeon.

Otherwise, wait until you have completely completed the four advanced tasks assigned by Master Ivan and learned the Ghost Sword Technique.

Other players may have already reached level 15.

"Okay, let's team up and go take a look then."

After seeing that he had learned how to protect his body with fighting qi, Diao Zhatian went to take a look at it at night and immediately agreed.

Although the monsters at night are more ferocious than those during the day and the visibility is not as good as during the day, they also want to verify the efforts they have made over the past few days.

"First, play it solo, and adapt to the battle, then consider teaming up to attack."

"After all, what we know now is the situation of solo dungeon."

"And teamwork also requires coordination."

Jian Potian proposed a more prudent approach.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep first, see you in the game tomorrow."

Ye Li Ting Feng also wanted to test his own strength by playing solo, so he had no objection.

Then the three of them fell asleep.

※※※※※※※

The time came the next morning.

When the three of them finished breakfast and came to the Ghost Swordsman Dojo.

"Three brothers, what happened to you?"

When Pevan Santus saw some changes in the appearance of Jian Potian, Diao Zhatian and Ye Tingfeng, he stopped swinging his giant sword, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Brother Pei Wan, our master thinks we have some talent, but it's not good enough, so he helped us improve our talent."

It was the first time that Pei Wan spoke to Ye Tingfeng, but because he had once chatted with Senior Brother Alman from the Fengling Swordsman Dojo, he responded very naturally.

"Master can also help people improve their talents? Are there any specific changes?"

Pei Wan looked at the three people's blood-red ghost hands that were similar to Master Ivan's, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"We feel that our sensitivity to magic and fighting spirit has become stronger, and our left hand is also stronger."

"If Senior Brother Pei Wan wants to know the details, he can ask the master."

Ye Li Ting Feng knew that Senior Brother Pei Wan might have some intentions, so he just explained it and asked him to go to the master for the answer.

They were not very clear why the master did not give the Ghost Hand to Brother Pevan Santus, the strongest disciple in the Ghost Swordsman Dojo, but instead chose the three of them.

"Ah."

Pervan Santus took a closer look at the three men and decided to talk to his master after his morning run.

At night, Tingfeng, Jian Potian and Diao Zhatian came to an open space nearby and tried to perform Ghost Slash according to some techniques they remembered.

Veins bulged on their left hands, and the power of ghosts and gods surged. The wooden swords in their hands were covered with a layer of dark energy and they chopped down suddenly.

With a "bang", a crack more than one meter long appeared on the ground.

The power of ghosts and gods also directly burned the surrounding grass, making a "hiss! hiss!" sound.

Moreover, the three of them performed the move at the same time, so three strikes were directly slashed out.

Before they had time to be shocked by the power of Ghost Slash, they were looking at the cracks in the ground.

"It's over!"

The same idea came into the minds of the three people almost at the same time.

"What should I do now? Do I have to pay compensation?"

"Master won't blame us, right?"

"Probably... not."

"I only have 8000 on me now. Is that enough to pay?"

Jian Potian, Diao Zhatian and Ye Tingfeng were all a little panicked at this time.

As expected, skills cannot be used indiscriminately. If they accidentally damage something, they have to worry about whether they can afford the compensation.

At this time, a steady voice calmed the three people.

"Don't worry about it. Master won't blame you."

"The damage caused by the master's slight attack before was much greater than your trial move."

"This land has been restored as usual, but if you want to try out your moves, it's best to do so in the dojo."

The three of them looked over when they heard the voice and found that it was Senior Brother Pevan Santus who said it.

"Yes, thank you, Brother. We will never try random moves outside of the dojo again."

I felt relieved when I heard the words at night.

"Well, just remember it and practice the upward thrust well. The more you practice this move, the more profound it will feel."

The reason why Pevan Santus said so much today was because the appearance of these three newest brothers suddenly changed.

He also watched these three fellow apprentices practice extra training every day in order to catch up with the other disciples in the dojo.

Although their training volume is not as much as his, Pewan is level 41 while these guys are only level 10, so they are not on the same level in terms of physical strength.

Naturally, he would not look down on these three junior brothers.

"We feel that way too."

Diao Zhatian, Jian Potian and Ye Rting Feng Wenyan also deeply agreed with the words.

So the three of them began to practice the upward move.

The time came to ten o'clock in the morning.

Ivan appeared and immediately noticed three cracks on the grass on the side.

Sensing the guilt and tension in the hearts of the three players, he immediately knew what was happening.

"Don't try out your moves outside the dojo for no reason in the future."

"The martial arts arena has been reinforced. You can perform whatever you want in there."

“Start your daily morning exercise now.”

Ivan's voice was calm, and he made the announcement directly without naming anyone.

When the many disciples of the Ghost Swordsman Dojo heard that morning exercise was about to begin, they all started running wildly without saying anything.

Time passed little by little.

After running 150 kilometers quickly, Pevan Santus quickly adjusted his breathing.

"Master, I have something to ask you." Pei Wan then shouted.

The next second, Ivan's figure appeared in front of him.

"You want to ask about the ghost hand."

"Yes, I heard from my three junior brothers that Master, you can help improve your kendo talent."

Pei Wan was not surprised when his master revealed his thoughts. His master was unfathomable and his abilities were extremely mysterious, so he just nodded.

"The ghost hand can indeed make people have stronger kendo talent."

"But everything has a price, and the same goes for wanting extra, better talents."

"You only saw their ghost hands and that they gained some extra power, but you didn't see any specific changes in them?"

"I will not hide it from you. I have bestowed the curse of ghosts and gods on Jian Potian, Diao Zhatian, and Ye Tingfeng."

"This curse grants them even greater powers and talents."

"But the curse will always be with them, looking for opportunities to bite them back at any time. If they are not careful during their cultivation, they will be at risk of death."

"Not dying at the hands of the enemy, but dying from the curse itself. And even after death there will be no peace, and you will always be tormented by the curse of ghosts and gods."

"If you have their courage, then I can also give you this curse."

Ivan knew that if he cursed the players but not other disciples, it would definitely attract questions from these disciples.

Therefore, his calm voice reached directly into the ears of all the disciples who were doing morning exercises.

"..."

When Pervan Santus heard about the risk, his pupils shrank.

"Pewan Santus, according to the swordsmanship and physical talent you have shown."

"I can promise you that you will complete the training courses I assign to you."

"In half a year at the earliest, or a year at the latest, you can achieve the status of a swordsman."

"If I continue to study swordsmanship in the future and become a famous swordsman, it is not impossible for me to break through to level 70 or even level 80."

"Are you still dissatisfied with this?"

"Or do you have the will to die, or some will that requires you to become extremely strong in a short period of time in order to take revenge?"

"You hope to gain this talent by putting yourself in danger at any time through this curse?"

Ivan sensed the many disciples of the Ghost Swordsman, and the original desire in his heart was instantly suppressed, turning into fear and calmness. He looked at Pewan and spoke slowly.

"I'm not dissatisfied, I just don't understand why the master gave them the opportunity to improve their talents but not us."

"Now I understand the good intentions of the master."

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Master."

Pevan Santus only wanted to acquire skills so that he could rescue and protect people when his hometown was in crisis. He did not have any deep hatred or bitterness as the reason for practicing.

Therefore, he did not have the courage to put himself in a dangerous situation where he could be swallowed by the curse at any time.

"If there is anything you still don't understand, or if you think you can withstand the risks brought by the curse, you must also improve your talents."

"You can always come and ask me during your lunch break."

"But I have to make it clear in advance that once the curse is planted, there will be no room for regret."

"Also, nearly 90% of those cursed will die immediately after the curse is placed, which means a one in ten survival rate."

"If you are determined and have the courage, you can come to me at any time."

Ivan heard the answer that Pewan gave without much hesitation, and the voice rang in the ears of all the disciples of the Ghost Swordsman Dojo.

For these normal people, he did not describe the curse as a blessing, because the power brought by Kazan's curse was not so easy to bear.

That is to say, the player is not afraid of death at all and can create anything he wants, so he dares to give it boldly after examining his character.

If they were normal disciples, he would warn them again and again that if they still had the courage to face death, he could also curse them.

The disciples of the Ghost Swordsman Dojo were looking at Ye Tingfeng, Jian Potian and Diao Zhatian who were resting.

Yesterday, some of these three people had black hair and some had blonde hair, but now their hair color seemed to have been drained of its vitality and turned snow-white.

This is not the natural silver or white hair of the dark elves, but a change caused by a curse.

One by one, they gave up the idea. The master said that they just needed to practice hard.

In the future, they will be able to become at least level 40 strong men, or even truly become sword saint-level strong men.

For them, level 40 is the realm they have always dreamed of and longed to reach.

By then, this strength will definitely be enough for them to easily make a lot of money, marry a beautiful wife, and build a happy family.

There is no need to gamble on the curse of a one-tenth chance of survival in order to gain power quickly.

Moreover, the master also clearly stated that successfully surviving a curse does not mean that the danger of the curse has disappeared, but it is the beginning of a special life.

Jian Potian, Diao Zhatian and Ye Tingfeng felt the looks of their fellow disciples and heard the explanation from Master Ivan, and some of their doubts were resolved.

Although this game is indeed very realistic, there are still some special treatments for players like them.

Seeing that these disciples had given up the idea, Alvin continued to urge them to practice.

"It's not time to rest yet, keep practicing."

"What did you stop for?"

Ivan's calm, reprimanding voice exploded in their ears.

When the disciples heard this, they took another step with their heavy and sore thighs.

Compared to the training at the Ghost Swordsman Dojo.

A large number of players have successfully completed their first task after changing their job.

One by one they began to make large purchases in the back streets, all spending thousands of gold coins on the purchase of weapons.

This brought great gains to some weapons dealers in the back streets, as well as people who set up stalls to deal in dirty goods.

Compared to spending 10,000 gold coins to become a disciple of the Ghost Swordsman in the Dojo, there is still no Ye Ting Feng, Jian Po Tian, ​​and Diao Zha Tian who have not yet gone to attack the dungeon.

They think it is quite practical to spend a few thousand gold coins to buy weapons.

After purchasing weapons, they began to move towards the Gran Line in groups of one or two.

Although according to the guide, there is currently no good way to beat the second level of Goblin Forest, the dense forest.

However, as long as they can pass the first level of Goblin Forest, they will be able to level up and earn gold.

Daily expenses in the city, assuming the most frugal spending, would cost at least 130 gold coins a day, and the food, drinks and accommodation would be of the worst quality.

Even if they wanted to drink every day and brag to other players, they didn't have that much spare money to do so.

So after completing the training task, everyone just wants to make money quickly to improve their gaming experience.

Moreover, after several days of training, they feel that they have become much stronger. Now is the time to verify the results of the training.

The large-scale actions of the players attracted the attention of Queen Freya's Phoenix Guards.

Although Queen Freya said that these people posed no threat to the Sgri region for the time being.

However, they still need to be extra careful about such gatherings, so as to avoid causing trouble due to carelessness.

When Melinda of the Fengwu Guard received the news, she quietly followed and found that all these people were heading towards the Gran Defense Line, and quickly recorded their actions.

"Form a team of no more than four people, go, go, and try it together."

Players can directly team up with teammates of the same profession based on their different job changes.

For now, I haven't considered teaming up with players from other gyms, because they deal more with each other during training.

And most importantly, they understand the skills of teammates of the same profession, but do not yet understand the skills of other professions, which obviously makes them unsuitable for the first collaborative development.

When they formed a team and walked into the Gran Forest together, a map option of Goblin Forest appeared at the same time.

They agreed to enter the Goblin Forest one after another, and slowly followed the instructions into the depths of the forest.

The four sharpshooters each took out their pistols, and after going deep for more than ten seconds, they came to a wide grassland.

What came into their sight were twenty-four goblins.

The goblins heard the footsteps and began to notice the invaders.

"The number is less than expected, it's just doubled."

"Can we win?"

"You're guaranteed to win, but you don't even think about how hard we've been training these past few days."

"Disperse first, then focus fire!"

The four sharpshooters communicated quickly.

The four of them ran without hesitation, sliding their bodies in four directions with incredible flexibility.

This is the advantage of sharpshooters. Their attack range is relatively long, and they can directly deal with such a large number of goblins by kiting.

Then they stood in four directions and shot bullets at the goblins fifty meters away.

The bullets did hit them, but they did not penetrate them as expected. Instead, they sank into their flesh, causing them to scream in pain and being knocked back several dozen centimeters.

"grumble!"

The goblin did not flinch when attacked, but instead let out angry cries.

With these four weak humans in front of them, with their positioning and concentrated firepower efficiency, do you dare to cooperate and fight in long-range combat in front of them?

Instead of moving forward, they quickly jumped back several times, created some distance, took out some stones, and threw them at the four players.

The speed of this stone is not as fast as a bullet, but the trajectory of its throwing directly blocks the direction of movement of the four players.

The four players were a little confused as they faced this kind of trebuchet array for the first time. By the time they reacted and wanted to dodge, they had already been hit by one or two of the stones.

And this is not the end yet, they haven't fully adjusted yet.

The next wave of more than twenty rocks hit one of the players directly.

The flat and projectile stones have blocked the player's retreat.

Now the only way to completely avoid it is to rush forward and knock down some of the stones directly or slide.

However, this player lacked combat experience and when he tried to retreat, he was hit by a dozen fist-sized stones.

The impact of the stone caused the player to fall down directly.

"What the hell, this is a lack of martial ethics. Shouldn't you just charge over here?"

"Why are they actively keeping their distance?"

"How can we fight with this kind of cooperation?"

The remaining three sharpshooter players started to panic when they saw their companions being instantly killed by a volley of fire from the twenty-four goblins.

I have no idea how to deal with this kind of long-range battle with such a huge disparity in firepower.

In just a few tens of seconds, the four people who came to attack the copy with great ambitions were sent out of the copy in seconds.

This team of sharpshooter players are not the only ones having similar experiences.

Other players who were full of confidence basically did not last more than three minutes after forming a team and entering.

All of them were carried away by a team of twenty-four goblins and sent back to the city.

They all thought they had already learned the skills and could easily complete the task by teaming up and unleashing their skills together, but reality slapped them hard in the face.
