Different World: The Devil's Coming

"How is that possible? I was just looking at the basics. There are a few unrealistic examples in the basics, which are used to tell freshmen that magic is about bold imagination, not copying other people's magic formulas."

"Hmm? Then what?"

“Then I thought these unrealistic examples were interesting and I wanted to give them a try.”

Mo Fan was somewhat excited, while Xi Yue was somewhat speechless.

"Didn't you tell me that those were unrealistic? Then why try?"

"You don't understand. This is called seeking knowledge. And isn't it just learning the basics? If I can do this, then my basics must have improved."

Xiyue felt something was a little strange when she heard this, but she couldn't put her finger on it. However, seeing how excited Mo Fan was, Xiyue didn't say anything more.

After lunch, the two went to the arena for training.

Unlike Xiyue, Xiyue has a solid foundation in swordsmanship. Even if she learns some new moves from books, she can try to use them in battle. It doesn't matter if she succeeds, and she can quickly make up for it if she fails.

Mo Fan's new magic seemed much more rigid. It took a while for a magician to adapt to a new magic, not to mention that the magic that Mo Fan saw was not yet created, but just a theory.

When Mo Fan tried to use these magics in battle, they failed three times in a row and he was almost pierced by his opponent's spear.

Fortunately, Mo Fan used magic and controlled the combat distance very well, so he was not eliminated.

However, after this incident, Mo Fan had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​trying new magic in battle.

In fact, Mo Fan was too relaxed. He had fought more than a hundred battles in the arena, but he had never won a crushing victory. Mo Fan took every battle seriously. Once he relaxed, he would reveal his flaws to his opponent. With too many flaws, he would naturally fail.

Now that Mo Fan had won so many games, he naturally looked down on this arena. He even thought about trying out a new spell that he had never used before? It would be strange if he didn't fail.

Even if Xiyue tried, she only made minor adjustments based on the original, which did not affect the overall swordsmanship.

And Mo Fan...

"You got beaten up, huh? I told you not to practice new magic here, but you didn't believe me."

"I was thinking that after winning so many games, I didn't know that my opponent in this game would be smart and know how to find flaws."

Facing Xiyue's sarcasm, Mo Fan seemed a little embarrassed. After all, he did win this battle in a rather embarrassing way.

However, Xiyue put away the smile on her face, coughed twice, and then looked at Mo Fan seriously and said.

"It's not that your opponent has become smarter, but that you have become dumber. The opponents in this arena are often a little stronger than us, and their combat awareness is particularly strong.

Especially after looking at your opponent, I feel that your opponent has magic power and a phantom blessed by the soul, and his combat awareness is on two completely different levels from my current opponent.

The reason why you can win so easily now is that, first, you have kept up with their rhythm and can react to their changes in moves. Second, your rhythm has also become faster with them, or even faster, which allows you to suppress them in the battle until you win.

As for me, I am still unable to keep up with the pace very well, so I feel very awkward when fighting, and I even don't know how to deal with some moves. This is why I go to read books or consult Dean Pei Ming.

If I can do what you do and hold them down the whole time, I'll try to slow down and adjust some of the unnecessary movements in my body."

Xiyue explained it very clearly, and Mo Fan really couldn't find any reason to refute it. But the last part...

"So I shouldn't study new magic now? Instead, I should slow down and fight them slowly?"

"That's right. Only in this way can you find out what basic problems you have. If you play too fast, you will only use some advanced magic or combination magic.

You may not see any problems now, but in the future, when the magic you use becomes more complex, some basic deviations may cause you to be unable to release magic."

Mo Fan nodded thoughtfully. Seeing this, Xi Yue did not say anything more. Just understand it, and let Mo Fan think about the rest slowly.

Xiyue stood up and continued the next duel.

Mo Fan watched Xiyue fight, seeing how she struggled to deal with each attack from the phantom, and how she looked for flaws in those attacks to counterattack.

Mo Fan had never experienced such a battle on the edge of a knife. Whether it was the blood magic he used at the beginning, the sword he tried later, or the magic he used at the end.

There are usually only two types of battles in Mo Fan.

One is to look for flaws, then keep counterattacking until victory.

The second one is what Xiyue just said, crushing all the way until victory.

Both methods have a very obvious disadvantage, which is consumption.

However, Mo Fan had not yet encountered an enemy that could exhaust his magic power and mental strength, so Mo Fan naturally ignored this problem and only thought about victory.

Now that Xiyue mentioned it, Mo Fan thought about it for a moment and found the flaw.

Maybe... taking it slow is also a way of practicing?

Mo Fan couldn't help but think of the shadow of the mage that impressed him the most, the mage who used ordinary attacks to great effect. So far, it was the only shadow that Mo Fan had to let go in order to win.

Could it be that at that time he just wanted to remind himself that his foundation was not solid?

After a hundred battles, the phantom will have a trace of soul. This trace of soul is mostly memories related to the battle, so it can make the phantom's movements more flexible.

But there are some exceptions. The spiritual power of a mage is usually stronger, and the soul is naturally more majestic and profound. A wisp of soul can contain more.

Xiyue's battle was over, and Mo Fan stood up to take over.

The two passed by each other without saying a word. Xiyue was a little tired, while Mo Fan had some enlightenment.

The battle begins, and the enemy in this battle is a spearman.

If it was before, the spearman had a long attack range but a slow movement speed. Mo Fan's magic could pull him to death without any pressure.

But now, Mo Fan wanted to try to fight in a different way, for example, just like the magician, using ordinary attack and defense.

The battle started, and the spearman rushed towards Mo Fan without hesitation, stabbing his spear straight at his chest. If Mo Fan dodged, the spear head could change position at any time.

This time, Mo Fan did not choose to dodge, but attacked with normal attacks, trying to deflect the gun tip.

But obviously, this move was useless to the phantom. The deflected spear head returned to its original position as the phantom shook his hand, and the shaking spear head even made it more difficult for Mo Fan to hit him.
