Chapter 85 Breaking Through the Bottleneck of the Master

After solving the question of time ability, Fang Zheng immediately asked Stone for another question—that was about swordsmanship. This was originally planned to be asked when he went to the Shadow Canyon, but due to the lack of time and an accident later, Fang Zheng was unable to ask. Now that Shi Dong is here, it is natural to solve it together.

What made Fang Zheng a little surprised was that after listening to his request for advice, this time Stone did not answer immediately, but looked at him for a while, and then patted him on the shoulder with emotion.

"I really didn't expect that your kid could improve so fast... But it's no wonder... um... Think about it carefully, with your strength, it is natural to encounter this bottleneck."

"bottleneck?"

"That's right."

While speaking, Shi Dong's expression became much more serious. He stared at Fang Zheng and said.

"What you are facing now is the bottleneck faced by every professional, whether it is a spell caster or a warrior. If you can successfully break through it, then you can step into the field of the master. But if you can't break through, Then, for the rest of your life, I am afraid that you will only be able to linger at the current level. No matter how powerful you are, it is the same..."

"Is it that serious?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng's expression changed slightly, but Shi Dong laughed when he saw him.

"Okay, take it easy. In fact, it's not difficult to say, it's simple and simple... Well, to put it bluntly, you are beginning to realize the inadequacy of your swordsmanship."

"insufficient?"

Fang Zheng couldn't understand Shi Dong's words. He felt that the Royal Cross Swordsmanship was very useful. Paladins, it could fight and resist AOE, heal invincibility and relieve control. It was quite comprehensive. What's missing? Of course, it would be nice if the invincibility period could be longer...

"You know what? Boy."

And Stone seemed to have sensed Fang Zheng's inner thoughts. He shrugged his shoulders and looked at the two-handed giant sword in his hand.

"The storm swordsmanship I learned was actually created by a woman among our ancestors. At that time, it was not called storm swordsmanship, but the sword of the sky. This swordsmanship is described as like a breeze in the sky. There are traces, but they are everywhere.”

"Uh………"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth. How could he feel that what Shi Dong said was completely different from what he saw? It's not the first time he has seen Stone's storm swordsmanship. If Fangzheng can say it, there is only one description - a moving ground human-shaped tornado.

No trace?

nonexistent! With such a big tornado, are all blind people blind?

"But to me, it is not the sword of the sky, but the sword of the storm, do you understand? Boy?"

While speaking, Stone knocked on his own sword.

"What we learn is swordsmanship, and what casters learn is spells, but in the final analysis, these are all things left by our predecessors. The ancestor of our family is a woman, maybe she is more suitable for the style of the sword of the sky. But I No, I still prefer to run over it directly, so in my hand, the sword of the sky is not the sword of the sky, it is the sword of the storm. The same is true for you, kid."

Having said this, Stone looked at Fangzheng again.

"Everyone has to find their own way, and you are standing here right now, making decisions. The reason why you feel that swordsmanship is not smooth enough is because you are not really suitable for this way. fighting."

"…………"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng instinctively opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, but fell into contemplation.

Was Stone wrong?

In all fairness, Fang Zheng thought he was right. In fact, he has never been a melee player. In online games, Fangzheng's favorite occupation is long-distance attack, such as shooter and mage. The next thing is a class like a thief that can be controlled and stabbed in the back. He is actually not very good at or likes classes like Paladins and Warriors. In fact, whenever Fangzheng played an online game, he first clicked on the long-range and summoning professions, and then the professions that could be invisible and save his life. As for warriors and paladins? Always put last.

For Fangzheng, mastering the Royal Cross swordsmanship was more like a process of being chased and put on the shelves. Because Fangzheng had no power at the time, it was enough to get what he could use, and he didn't think about anything else at the time.

It can even be said that Fangzheng actually prefers the fighting style in Dark Souls more than the Royal Cross Swordsmanship. Because that fighting style allows him to take advantage of the loopholes, and taking advantage of loopholes is Fangzheng's favorite. To put it bluntly, Fangzheng prefers to enjoy the feeling of grabbing the enemy's weakness and then dealing super damage with a fatal blow. Rather than the neutral, steady and steady paladin tactics like the Royal Cross Swordsmanship.

For example, this is like the two professions of thieves and knights in the game. The thieves may be weak at level A, but sneak attacks can kill or deal triple damage. The Knight's flat A may damage a little higher, but it is difficult to hit a crit. If Fangzheng had to choose between these two professions, he would prefer the former to the latter. But now, Fangzheng is walking on the latter road.

Fang Zheng also understood what Stone said. The biggest difference between grandmasters and elites is that grandmasters can innovate and develop their own unique skills based on the old ones. This is why Stone said that the sword of the sky is the sword of the sky in the hands of his ancestors, and it is the sword of the storm in his own hands. The same swordsmanship, because the direction that the performer values ​​is different, so the expression is also very different.

The previous Fangzheng was just a rookie, so he could use it as he knew it. Just like many novice players, just follow the game instructions and output. However, with the deepening of the game experience and the increase of experience, these rookie players will also begin to grow gradually, and then master and use the skills that suit them. For example, some people like to be reckless, while some people are used to it. So when you see hunters charging up with polearms and paladins throwing hammers in the back... it's no surprise.

And now Fang Zheng has successfully passed the "rookie period", it's time to start looking for his "output method".

"Then Master, what advice do you have?"

"I don't have any good advice."

Facing Fang Zheng's humbly asking for advice, Shi Dong shook his head.

"If you want to say it, then stick to your own ideas. The reason why any fighting method exists is because it has its meaning. Maybe some people despise it, but this does not mean that it is not easy to use. Stick to yourself. , find the most suitable fighting style for you, this is the only advice I can give you."

"Thank you teacher."

After listening to Stone's instructions, Fang Zheng stood up and bowed to him. Frankly, he also understood what Stone meant. Although it seems that this is very simple to say, Fang Zheng is very clear that it is not an easy task to improve his fighting style, or even to find a style that he insists on. But in any case, Stone has pointed out the direction for himself and answered his doubts, so the rest... as Stone said, only rely on his own efforts.

I have to say that this mentor, Shi Dong, is quite competent. Fang Zheng's two questions that have been bothering him before have already been answered - his time ability is not strong enough because his own strength is too weak. The breakthrough in swordsmanship requires his own efforts to achieve.

Unfortunately, neither of these is an easy problem to solve. So Fangzheng had to temporarily put aside the idea of ​​continuing to improve himself, and turned his attention to the group of cultists.

After all, that's what comes next.
