Crossing the Ark, I was picked up by Penguin Logistics at the beginning

Texas did not deceive Mo Yu. She did increase the amount of training for Mo Yu once again, and the latter did not complain at all. After being almost overdrawn, he would use the precepts to restore his body, and then stand up again and return to the training ground.

He knew that this man-eating land was no joke. Even in a city-state like Longmen with perfect governance, there was still a dark side that the light could not reach. In order to survive better on this land, he had to become stronger and be able to protect himself and the people around him.

"Good job." Texas threw a towel to him. "Take a break and continue."

Mo Yu thanked him and walked to the rest area nearby.

"You won't have to train your physical fitness anymore in a while."

"?" Hearing this, Mo Yu was a little surprised. In the past month, he had tried almost all the training equipment in the training room, which greatly improved his physical fitness. "Why?"

"Wait a moment, I will teach you how to fight." Texas stood up. "Is your recovery Originium skill still usable? You might get hurt in the next training."

Mo Yu was stunned.

Actual combat.

"In actual combat, your opponent is me." Texas said calmly, "Your goal is not to defeat me, but to be able to withstand my attacks for a longer time. Don't worry, I will let you off a little."

It's no longer just training on the equipment, but real fighting, real Tata Kai.

A fire suddenly ignited in his heart. After all, which boy didn't want to fight passionately? Especially with a cool girl like Texas. Even though he was a dead otaku, the second-year spirit still burned in his heart.

"You seem to be confident and eager to try." Texas smiled and asked curiously, "What weapon will you use?"

"Hmm... sword." Mo Yu did not hesitate. He had been thinking about the moves and techniques in "Basic Sword Theory" every day for more than a month. He just had some ideas. "I haven't used a real weapon, but I have learned some related knowledge."

"Yeah." Texas said calmly "Well, let's go to the training ground."

Texas once again drew his sword in front of Mo Yu.

They were not the pair of razor-sharp Originium swords used on the battlefield, but just wooden swords used for training. The gentleness in his eyes quickly faded, and his expression became cold.

Looking at Texas standing opposite him, Mo Yu also tightened the wooden sword in his hand.

"Focus," Texas said. "Hold on under my attack."

Mo Yu nodded and got into position according to the "Basic Sword Theory".

Texas took just one step forward, and the distance between the two men was rapidly shortened. Mo Yu tried to block with his sword, but a strong force came from the sword, which made his palm slightly numb.

It only took a few breaths to knock down Mo Yu's sword. The next moment, the tip of Texas' sword was already against Mo Yu's throat.

Just like when they first met.

"You're distracted." Texas' tone was extremely cold, without a trace of warmth. "If you were on the battlefield, your head would have been separated from your neck in this instant."

Texas retracted his sword "Come again."

[Special mission released. If you can hold out for 15 moves against Texas, you will be rewarded with a copy of "Advanced Swordsmanship Theory" and 20000 skill points.]

Mo Yu suddenly heard a system prompt sound in his head.

But he came to his senses instantly, and it seemed that this was not a task he could accomplish at this stage.

Texas lasted 15 moves, how many moves did you last just now?

Less than five moves.

He blocked the first blow, but the second blow knocked the wooden sword out of his hand, and the third blow directly killed him in the throat.

But looking at Texas on the opposite side, the latter didn't seem to be exerting any effort at all, with a lazy expression on her face, as if the person with the sharp sword just now was not her at all.

Mo Yu picked up the wooden sword on the ground again, shook his numb right hand, and assumed a fighting posture.

"Are you ready?" Texas' eyes focused again, becoming concentrated, and then he asked.

"Ah."

In just the next moment, Texas raised his sword and attacked Mo Yu.

Block.

Mo Yu successfully blocked the first attack, but the second one immediately followed, knocked his wooden sword away. With the third attack, the tip of the sword once again pointed at Mo Yu's throat, less than half an inch away from piercing his body.

Mo Yu took a breath of cold air.

Should I say he is worthy of being called the assassin of Syracuse? Whether it is the reaction speed or the force of attack, it is far superior to mine, so terrifying.

Texas drew back his sword. "Come again."

......

That day, Mo Yu was unable to defeat Texas for more than three moves until he left the training ground.

"You have the basics, but if you haven't put it into practice, it won't work." Texas stretched out his hand to Mo Yu who was lying on the ground. "I can see that your theoretical foundation is not bad, but you lack the ability to respond on the spot."

Looking at the palm stretched out in front of him, Mo Yu stretched out his hand and stood up with the help of Texas.

"I remember."

[ding, the host has achieved the achievement "More courage in battle", life is nothing but failure before success, I hope the host will continue to work hard. The reward is a 5% increase in the four-dimensional attributes, and a 1 increase in mental strength. The current upgrade progress is 5/10]

Hearing the prompt sound in his mind, Mo Yu felt excited.

I didn't expect that after being beaten up by Texas for a whole afternoon, I would still get such a pleasant surprise.

The comprehensive improvement of the four dimensions made him feel like he was reborn.

I was so happy!

Then he leaned on Texas' shoulder and fainted.

After a whole afternoon of high-intensity confrontation and the extreme tension of his nerves and body, he was finally exhausted.

"Well, this is me..." Looking at the ceiling that had become familiar to him, Mo Yu tried his best to dispel the discomfort in his body so that his mind could be clear.

Then he realized that he was not alone in his room.

Texas was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a pack of pokeys in her hand and a stick in her mouth, leaning back in a chair with her eyes closed. The pale yellow light in the room cast a layer of light gold on her dark blue hair and cold face, adding a bit of gorgeousness.

Mo Yu suddenly felt like a gangster lady smoking a cigarette after having sex. No, Texas, how did you eat a pokey and taste like Hongtashan Furongwang?

Shaking these strange things out of his mind, Mo Yu stood up with some difficulty. The number of his precepts for today had been used up in the fight with Texas in the afternoon. Now he naturally had no way to recover himself.

"Awake?" Texas heard the noise on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at Mo Yu lying on the bed.

"I am..."

"I am exhausted and physically exhausted." Texas looked apologetic, and even his usually proud wolf ears drooped a little. "I seem to be a little too radical. I forgot to consider your current tolerance."

Mo Yu didn't say anything, just nodded calmly.

"But at least you're okay." Texas handed over the pokey bag in his hand. "Want one?"

"Thank you." Mo Yu took out a pokey from Texas's pokey bag and put it in his mouth.

"Also, you can get a day off tomorrow." Texas also lit a pokey for himself. "I have to go on a mission."

"What mission?"

"It's quite simple, a small task." Texas did not hide it. "It's just to deliver a batch of goods to Longmen City. It probably won't take a day."

"Then..." Mo Yu opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

"It's okay. Angel will go with me this time. Although she looks carefree and innocent, she is very reliable." Texas waved his hand. "Just enjoy your hard-earned vacation at home and wait for me to come back."

Looking at Texas's leaving back, Mo Yu clenched his fists.

Although his strength has improved, it is still not enough, far from enough. He needs to become stronger so that he can truly share the pressure for Texas, instead of just watching and doing nothing like he is now.

Although Texas didn't say anything, as a former game player, Mo Yu knew clearly how heavy the burden was on Texas' shoulders. It was a problem that he, or even she, could not solve at the moment.

"Open the system mall." After more than a month, Mo Yu had accumulated more than 2,000 skill points. He usually never went to the system mall because he would bite off more than he could chew.

He hadn't yet fully mastered "Basic Sword Theory" and "Introduction to Originium Techniques", so he didn't think about buying more items.

But this time was different, he needed something that would allow him to comprehend sword skills faster, so that he could last longer under Texas' attack. Mo Yu searched the system mall for items that could make him stronger, and finally, he saw something that he could use and afford.

【Fairy Swordsmanship. Knight】

[The basic swordsmanship practiced by the Knights of Favonius who protect Mondstadt. Do you know what Irene, who was hitting wooden stakes every day, was practicing? It was this swordsmanship!]

Different from the "Basic Sword Theory" he had obtained before, which mainly studied the basics of swordsmanship, [West Wind Swordsmanship. Knight] was more like a set of completed sword skills than a theory.

But the price of 2000 points was too prohibitive for Mo Yu to afford.

"By the way, system, if I learn the West Wind Sword Technique that I have chosen now, can I choose other sword techniques to learn in the future?"

Mo Yu was a little worried.

[The various skills do not conflict with each other. Look at the Traveler in Genshin Impact next door, he has four elements. Normal attacks change one element at a time. As long as you can master them, the sword skills can be connected. ]

"I hope you won't cheat me again this time." After getting the system's reply, Mo Yu hardened his heart and directly spent 2000 skill points to buy [West Wind Swordsmanship. Knight].
