Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 350
Chapter 350 All Good Things Came to an End
Ever since Xu You knew that the key to entering the “Heart Like Still Water” state was to maintain an extremely calm mood, the success rate of Xu You’s battle technique had become higher and higher. Furthermore, he had finally entered the “Heart Like Still Water” state five days ago.
This time, Xu You’s consciousness was clear. He knew that he had succeeded. After entering this state, Xu You could fully feel that his various senses had increased by a lot. He could feel many subtle things around him. Furthermore, Xu You felt that the space around him seemed to have condensed a lot. Everything became very slow!
This feeling was very wonderful, so he had to feel it and remember it. It was very important for him to enter this state again in the future.
If Xu You had just entered the Land of Chaos, the purpose of practicing his battle technique at the beginning was to find the “key” to enter the “heart like still water” state, that was to say, he was extremely calm.
After finding this “key”, Xu You had been practicing the process of entering the “heart like still water”. After returning to the Land of Chaos from a three-day vacation, Xu You had been practicing it day after day.
Having succeeded for the first time and consciously remembering some of the mysteries of “Heart as still as water” was equivalent to having experience. It would be much easier to enter this state again. Therefore, in these five days, Xu You slowly mastered the method to enter “Heart as still as water”.
At the same time, Mock’s test began to change. From the beginning, he had been in a chariot battle on the hillside again and again, but now he was fighting against one avatar, then two, then three.
Next, it wasn’t just an avatar. Some illusions also appeared. For example, Snow Wuhen, Qingwu, Zhao Chen, and so on. These people weren’t real, but the illusions that Mock had created. They also possessed the same combat skills and consciousness as him.
Xu You once asked Mok how this was done. Mok only said indifferently, “All of this exists in your heart.” No longer answering any questions in this regard.
Xu You didn’t ask any further about this. He knew that Mock wouldn’t tell him so easily. He didn’t even think about learning the illusion setting. He didn’t even have a good combat skill, so how could he learn anything else?
Therefore, Xu You began to fight with his “woman” or “comrade-in-arms”. However, the challenge that Mok set up would only allow Xu You to face a group fight of three people at the same time. According to Mok, even if he was in a state of “still water in his heart”, facing three people’s attacks at the same time was already the limit. No matter how many, it would be beyond the scope of manpower.
After all, a battle skill needed to make a move to resist the enemy’s attack. However, two fists were difficult to defeat four hands. No matter how strong one dodged, it would be useless if there was no space for them to dodge. Furthermore, a parry was even more so. Xu You didn’t have three heads and six arms. How could he possibly be able to withstand so many people attacking at the same time?
As a result, Xu You had fought against three different combinations in the past few days. He had tried all sorts of combinations. After Xu You mastered Heart Stasis, he was unable to defeat any three combinations at the beginning. However, if he continued to practice, he would always get results. Today was the first time he had successfully defeated a three-person combination.
“What a milestone.” Xu You felt that it was good to be a thief. He heard from Moke that he could be invincible if he mastered the Heart of Calm Water. Although it was a bit exaggerated, if Xu You could block all the attacks of the other party, he would at least be in an invincible position. As long as his offensive ability wasn’t bad, it was only a matter of time before he could defeat others. That was almost invincible.
Of course, this was only the case when facing a small number of enemies, but wouldn’t the future PK Tournament be a one-on-one match? Well, Xu You plans to only participate in 1v1.
At this time, Mock suddenly appeared and asked with a smile, “Looks like you’ve succeeded.”
Xu You hurriedly bowed to Mock and said, “Thank you, Senior. If it weren’t for Senior’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to do it no matter what.”
“No need to thank him. Your success depends on your perseverance, diligence, and outstanding talent. I’m just providing a platform. If it were anyone else, even if I supervise him to practice for 24 hours a day, I wouldn’t necessarily succeed.” Mock shook his head and said indifferently.
“Uh.” Facing the unsmiling Mok, Xu You didn’t know how to express his gratitude.
At this moment, Moke said, “You have already mastered the state of mind like still water. However, have you noticed that you will feel very tired after using this state to fight?”
“Yes.” Xu You was stunned for a moment before nodding solemnly.
“Then you should understand, Using this state to fight, It’s going to take a lot of your mental energy, In other words, You can’t continue fighting in this state. The first time you entered Heart’s Still Water, it lasted for nearly two hours. It’s a very special situation. Perhaps you won’t encounter that kind of situation again in your lifetime. Therefore, you should pay attention to the battle time. Don’t use Heart’s Still Water continuously. Furthermore, Heart’s Still Water has a shortcoming. I think you should understand it. Mok looked at Xu You and said.
“En, ‘Heart as still as water’ has no effect on group skills.” Xu You felt a little helpless. There was no way for a group skill to dodge. This was normal, but even “Heart’s Still Water” couldn’t handle it, so it didn’t seem perfect.
“That’s right. However, most group skills have a fixed range. As long as you leave that range, the group skills will be useless. Therefore, you don’t need to pay too much attention to this’flaw ‘. In my opinion, this isn’t a flaw.”
“That’s right! The students have been taught.” After hearing this, Xu You also reacted. Group skills couldn’t be blocked with battle skills. Whether it was dodging, parrying, or blocking, most of the players’ group skills were limited. Either they were within a fixed range or they had to continuously cast spells. There was a way to deal with them. As for powerful monsters, apart from Xu You’s abnormal quest, who would be bored to the point of single-handedly challenging Lord level monsters?
Therefore, the strongest effect of practicing a battle skill, “Heart as still as water”, was very helpful to PK.
‘”There’s one more question. Although you have mastered the’ Heart as still as water ‘now, that doesn’t mean you don’t need to practice. After you go out, you have to often go to the dueling arena to sparring with others. If you don’t go against the current, you will retreat. Do you understand?” Mock said earnestly, and some of his emotions were also expressed through his words.
Xu You was stunned when he heard this and asked, “You mean …”
“You don’t need to stay here anymore. You can go outside to practice and fight with real people. It’s better than fighting with illusions. So, it’s time for you to leave.” Mock’s expression seemed a little strange, but he quickly turned around.
“This … Senior, I think I still …” Xu You hurriedly said. A reluctant feeling arose in his heart. Yes, he was reluctant to part with Mock, the ox-headed man who had killed him, but was also his teacher and friend.
Mock heard the reluctance in Xu You’s words, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. After a long time, he said softly, “Child, the banquet under the heavens is all over. Our fate is here.” His tone was very gentle.
“But” Xu You wanted to say something, but Mock turned around and interrupted him with a smile, “Do you want to have a drink with me?”
Xu You was stunned for a long time before he laughed, “Alright.”
It seemed that his departure was doomed. However, Mock was right. The banquet under the heavens had all ended. He had to leave this place because there were still many people waiting for him outside.
…
City of Sunrise Seafood Pavilion.
Xue Wuhen and the members of the Reaper Sickle climbed up the fifth floor of the Seafood Pavilion. Zhao Chen deliberately looked around and didn’t find any prestige. Only then did he start to chat and laugh with Xue Wuhen and the others.
However, Brother Shimian invited Zhao Chen and the other girls to have dinner together. Naturally, the kindergarten also tried its best to invite them. Zhao Chen hesitated and looked at Xue Wuhen. Xue Wuhen thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s go together. Anyway, we’re just watching the live broadcast. There’s no need to eat.”
“Wherever you go, come to the seafood pavilion. How can you not eat? Don’t worry, we will pay attention to the way we eat.” The kindergarten humorously said that if they met, they must be invited. Otherwise, how could they be worthy of Yue Wuyou’s previous help to their mercenary group?
“Since the Kindergarten Guild Leader has kindly invited us, we will be disrespectful.” Xue Wuhen had no choice but to give him face.
“That’s good. Everyone, sit down. Right, where’s Brother Wuyou?” The kindergarten asked curiously. The four women had come out together. Why didn’t Xu You come? At first, he thought that Xu You had gone shopping, but now, he didn’t find any trace of Xu You.
“He has something important to do, so he can’t come.” Xue Wuhen said with a smile.
However, Zhao Chen complained, “That guy has disappeared for a long time. It’s too hateful that he didn’t appear on such an important day today!”
Hearing this, Xue Wuhen frowned slightly and glared at Zhao Chen, signaling him to stop talking nonsense. Only then did Zhao Chen remember that there were still outsiders. He couldn’t help but stuck out his small tongue, but there was still a trace of resentment on his face.
In the eyes of the kindergarten and the others, this scene was nothing, but when Brother Shimian saw it, he frowned and some thoughts couldn’t help but come out.
