God of Fishing - Chapter 80
Chapter 80: Five Basic Combat Skills
Han Fei felt that these authors were too unreliable as they had simply ruined their legacies.
Jiang Qin wanted to look through the rest of the selection. “OK, let me see the rest.”
Standing in front of Han Fei, Jiang Qin picked up a book and threw it away. “The author of Nine-Level Sword had Qi deviation when he was still studying the first level of this combat skill. Not this one.”
“This Sea Cudgel is mediocre and is not as good as the Sweeping Stick you practiced. You can throw these away.”
“This Broken Knife Art is full of empty talk and isn’t practical at all. Not suitable for you.”
Han Fei watched Jiang Qin throw away the books one by one dumbfounded. In the end, there were only five books left.
Han Fei asked,”Sister Qin, are you going to throw them all away? Didn’t you say that the level of combat skill is not important? Why are you still so picky about them?”
Jiang Qin was silent for a moment. “I overestimated your ability to choose.”
Han Fei: “???”
“I found that half of the books you chose are about hidden weapons. Do you know that hidden weapons are exclusively used by hunters?”
Han Fei replied, “Isn’t it a good thing to strike when the enemy is unprepared?”
Han Fei liked hidden weapons. Technically, Little Black was a kind of hidden weapon.
Jiang Qin explained, “Soul warriors prefer head-on attacks. Although they are not forbidden from using hidden weapons, in most cases, they don’t use them.”
“Can I study one or two hidden weapons as my killer punch?”
“I’ve kept one for you. Learn these five combat skills first.”
Han Fei glanced at the five books in her hands, which were respectively Gusty Rod, Stormy Footwork, Blood Boiling, Fast Knife Technique, and Elusive Grapper.
Han Fei returned to the plantation happily with the five books. I’m going to be a soul warrior!When I become a soul warrior, I’ll crush my enemy’s heads easily! As for a person like Li Jue, umm… I’ll be able to kill him with one cut.
…
In the plantation
Old Jiang cast a disapproving glance at Han Fei and said, “You should be more ambitious.”
Han Fei: “???”
Old Jiang sneered. “Do you know that in any combat a soul warrior must fight at the forefront, they have the highest mortality rate, and are the target of everyone’s blow?”
Han Fei questioned, “Oh? Is it dangerous to be a soul warrior?”
“Of course. Spirit gatherers and soul warriors are the souls of a team. Soul warriors are always the first to die in a battle, and then it’s the armorists. Do you think you can be the exception?”
Han Fei scratched his head and took a breath. “OK, let me disguise myself as a spirit gatherer in combat. Yes! Then everyone will try to protect me in combat.”
Old Jiang: “…”
“F*ck off, I don’t care what combat skills you learn, you’ve gotta till the land first. Only when you get proficient in Spirit Concentration Art can you proceed to the next stage of the study.”
“Alright, Grandpa.”
Han Fei had no idea what he was going to study at the next stage, but he didn’t remember he had ever studied anything here! Apart from reciting books and tilling the land, he literally learned nothing!
Han Fei sat on the ground holding the five books and quickly browsed them. Soon, he figured out why Jiang Qin chose them for him.
The characteristic of Gusty Rod was its fast speed, but the strength was not strong enough. However, he could make up for this weakness.
Stormy Footwork was also to increase his speed. If he couldn’t resist his enemy, he could escape with this Art. But then he wondered if he could use this footwork at sea.
Boiling Blood was not exactly a combat skill, but a technique to improve his explosive power. It consumed a lot of Qi and spiritual energy to activate the spiritual energy in his body and stimulate his body, so as to improve his strength in the short term.
Fast Knife Technique and Elusive Grapper were easier to understand. Fast Knife Technique was a technique about a flying knife, and Elusive Grapper was a skill to make your hand muscle more flexible. He would be able to use hidden weapons better with the two techniques.
Gee! That’s really well-rounded! If I can deduce these techniques, won’t my strength be greatly improved?
Gusty Rod (Low end)
<Remark>: The work of an unknown person, low-grade, intolerably bad.
<Deduced Technique>: Unable to be deduced. You can try deducing a new technique from it on your own. The deduction results are random and it requires 1,000 points of spiritual energy to deduce it.
Han Fei gaped at the information. Low end? Low-grade?? Intolerably bad??? If the author hears your comments, he may jump out of his coffin in anger!
Han Fei smiled. 1,000 points of spiritual energy, that’s a piece of cake for me.
“Deduce.”
New data appeared in his mind.
Crazy Devil’s Rod (Mortal Level, Ultra Quality)
<Remark>: The combat skill was created by a genius fisher three hundred years ago when he was hunted by his enemy. With this combat skill, he killed two fishing masters and nine fishers and then died of exhaustion of spiritual energy.
<Disadvantage>: It tends to make people crazy and lose reason. Do use it with care.
<Deduced technique>: You can try deducing a new technique from it on your own. The deduction results are random and it requires 10,000 points of spiritual energy to deduce it.
Han Fei immediately took a deep breath. Wow, deduce an ultra-quality technique with only 10,000 points of spiritual energy! But the guy who created this technique was really awesome. He killed two fishing masters and nine fishers although he was only a fisher! But then Han Fei remembered that he also killed one fishing master and dozens of level-nine fishers not long ago.
…
Han Fei continued to deduce, only to find that the five combat skills were all low-end. He thought to himself, The combat skills from the village library were lame indeed. I should find some better combat skills from the town or the city.
Ten minutes later, all the combat skills had been deduced.
Wind Footwork (Mortal Level, Ultra Quality)
<Remark>: Nine hundred years ago, a fishing master came across a gale, and feeling the power of the wind, he created the Wind Footwork. With this technique, one can ride the wind for as long as 800 metres.
<Disadvantage>: The speed is average.
<Deduced technique>: You can try deducing a new technique from it on your own. The deduction results are random and it requires 10,000 points of spiritual energy to deduce it.
…
Fury (Mortal Level, Ultra Quality)
<Remark>: Two hundred years ago, a soul warrior fused his Qi, blood, and spiritual energy and thus brought out his maximal strength to save a friend in danger. The strength that can be improved depends on the physique of the specific person.
<Disadvantage>: It can only be used once within a day.
<Deduced technique>: You can try deducing a new technique from it on your own. The deduction results are random and it requires 10,000 points of spiritual energy to deduce it.
…
Universe Machete (Mortal Level, Ultra Quality)
<Remark>: 500 years ago, a great genius created this technique on the first day he came to touch a machete. All the user’s spiritual energy will be drained when this technique is used.
<Disadvantage>: The user will lose all his spiritual energy after using it.
<Deduced technique>: You can try deducing a new technique from it on your own. The deduction results are random and it requires 10,000 points of spiritual energy to deduce it.
…
Shadowless Hands (Mortal Level, Divine Quality)
<Remark>: In ancient times, a cultivator weaved a giant spiritual net with spiritual energy. When he finished weaving the net, he was inspired to create the Shadowless Hands.
<Deduced technique>: You can try deducing a new technique from it on your own. The deduction results are random and it requires 10,000 points of spiritual energy to deduce it.
Han Fei was very satisfied with the deduced techniques, especially the last one, which was a divine-quality combat skill. Although it was only an auxiliary skill, with this book alone, it was worthwhile for him to go to the village library.
But to his disappointment, among the five techniques, except for the Shadowless Hands, the other four’s disadvantages were too obvious. Crazy Devil’s Rod may drive him crazy. Wind Footwork had to be practiced at sea. Fury didn’t look practical! The only thing he could try was how much combat power would be increased after he used this technique. As for Universe Machete, once he used it, his spiritual energy would be drained, which made the skill look like chicken ribs.
Pondering for a while, Han Fei used Fury to fuse his spiritual energy, Qi, and blood. At the next moment, he felt that his body was inflating.
His eyes turned bloodshot and the blue veins on his neck protruded.
Dong…
Han Fei hit the ground with a fist, leaving a big pit in the ground. He felt that if he met Li Lang again, he should be able to fight him head-on without Little Black’s help.
Only holding on for several minutes, Han Fei sat on the ground, panting.
Umm, not bad… But I’m aching a bit all over and don’t feel very well.
Three days later.
Jiang Qin came to visit him. According to her estimation, these simple combat skills were very quick to learn and would only take Han Fei three days at most to master them, so she came to check his mastery now.
