Chapter 70: Essence

Next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

Breakfast stall, two people drank porridge and ate dumplings as well as salted vegetables. It was rare for Ah Fei to wake up so early, so we came down for breakfast.

While eating, we visited Linchen Countys forums. The players were curious about why the Boss did not appear. The Wind Cloud Platforms trial did not refresh yesterday. I trained for a full day and studied the combo system, so one day passed just like that.

"Right. You didn't appear for the entire day yesterday." Ah Fei looked at me lazily.

"There should be one today,"I said firmly. "The Wind Cloud Platform's cooldown seems to have increased. Thats normal. I can't turn into a Boss every day. Not only me, even Linchen Countys players can't take it.Hahaha~"

He was speechless. "Too arrogant..."

...

After eating breakfast, I went online.

Shua!

Character information was read and I appeared on the Wind Cloud Platform.

At the side, Ah Fei's voice spread into my ears. "Has the Wind Cloud Platform refreshed?"

"No."

"Then use your human account and we can train together; I can bring you to level?"

"No need. My human account doesn't have a job and doesn't have skills. Even if I go, I will just be a burden. I don't have time to get a second job, so I should just train my battle techniques. Let's see if I can get a combo."

"Brother, you are really thinking too much.."

Ah Fei was speechless. "If the combo system is as easy as you think, anyone can create one, and in just a week, combos will be all around. Destiny has been open for five years, but there aren't even more than ten people with combos. Don't waste time and just level up; we have always relied on brute force!"

I grinned. "En. Maybe you are right, but I don't care.Haha~"Findd new stories on nov/e(l)bin(.)com

"D*mn!Up to you. Ill go level. I'm so eager to meet the Priest in my party that I've been drooling on!"

"What happened to not picking up chicks in Illusionary Moon'?"

"Shes the one hitting on me, not the other way around."

"Scram!"

"Hahaha~"

...

I was too lazy to bother with such a person. I looked in the sky above the Wind Cloud Platform. "Master, are you there?"

"Yes."

The clouds formed into Master Ding Heng and he smiled. "Little fellow, what is the problem?"

"Is there a place in Black Castle to train?"

When it was 2pm, along with my familiarity to the moves increasing, my kick location, angle, speed, and power got perfect. Although the power from the twin dagger hits was huge, it was unable to force the puppet back. This was still a weakness.

Right at that moment, the first-grade one puppet's healthar was emptied.

Peng!

Along with a double dagger hit, it flew to the wall. The puppets limbs were filled with dagger marks and it was totally spoiled.

"This..."The Heaven and Earth Pavilion attendant was shocked. "It was actually destroyed? Oh, my god..."

I was stunned and asked carefully, "Er... Is it fine?"

"Nothing... nothing. Let me get you another one. You are an esteemed guest, so it is of course fine."

"That's good..."

Not long after, another full-health puppet was activated. This was a puppet using two swords, but it did not matter. What this puppets weapons were did not matter as it was playing the role of a sandbag!

Again!

Another combo. After my daggers pushed forward, the upper flick succeeded. I kicked the puppet away. These four movements were perfect. As I charged, my daggers crossed in front of my chest and I slashed at the falling puppet. A stun mark appeared above its head and it was stunned on the spot.

Success!

To get a stun or frozen effect was a sign of a combo succeeding. Lin Xi's Gale relied on four attacks and then the final Blade of Dawn to land. The theory was the same.

At that moment, a loud bell rang in my ears

Ding!

[System notification: Congratulations! You have created a combo, evaluated as S.Will you confirm the combo completion?]

...

"S-grade Combo?"

I frowned. Truthfully, although that attack was quite perfect, I felt like it was lacking something. There was still that bit of rigidity. In the end, this move met the requirements for a self-created combo, but it was not the strongest combo that I could do with my potential.

No!

I denied the notification. My heart was filled with joy. My self-created combo succeeding was already a fact. I had absolute confidence. Right, from last night until this morning, this set of movement was really connected and it could be turned into a combo, but it was not strong enough; I could create a better one.

Continue!

The next few attacks did not complete the stun, only during the fifth one. Finally, under the sharp attacks of my dagger, the puppet was stunned once more. Its health was reduced by a large amount and another system notification appeared. It was the same as before.

Reject. Continue!

Just like that, in an hour, or maybe because the combo damage was too high, the first stage puppet was spoiled again. This was worse; the puppet was split by the waist!

"Xi..."

The Heaven and Earth Pavilion attendant sucked in a cold breath. "Another one got destroyed?"
