Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 70 Before Landing

The face in front of me was so exquisite it was almost perfect; it was Shen Xianke's face. No wonder she was the object of secret admiration for all the boys in the grade. Indeed, it made one want to take another look.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhao had no time to appreciate it, because what was closer to him than his face was Shen Xianke's sword.

choke!!!

Lu Zhao sensed a powerful force, but it wasn't the straightforward strength of Fang Ziran's style; rather, it was a strange and unpredictable force, much like Qing Ling's movement technique.

The Shen family's martial arts always give people a troublesome feeling. Even though it is just a sword strike, it comes from multiple directions with multiple impacts, and you don't know how to defend against it.

Lu Zhao tried to deflect the force using the same method he used on Fang Ziran yesterday, but he couldn't shake off the power. His movements were no longer as graceful as before, and he flew out like a burst balloon.

puff.

He plopped down on the ground.

"I protest! It's just a friendly sparring match, aren't you going to hold back your cultivation level?"

I had agreed to spar with Shen Xianke yesterday, but I didn't expect that woman to be so ruthless. She went all out from the start, and not using any special techniques was her last act of kindness.

Shen Xianke walked over slowly, extending her slender hand to express her apology, but it was unclear how such a hand could unleash such fierce sword moves.

"I won't suppress my cultivation level," she said.

Lu Zhao pulled her hand and stood up, and he roughly understood why she could make the Qingling Rapier have such fierce killing power.

She uses only as much strength as she has; that's her martial art!

Shen Xianke was not Shi Jian after all. Seeing his silence, she assumed he had been hurt, so she praised him from a different angle, saying, "You didn't drop your knife, that's very good."

Why did her words of comfort sound like mockery?

In fact, even when Lu Zhao sat down on the ground, he didn't loosen his grip on the knife. This was because he was so focused on using his quick thinking and computing power to analyze the forces involved that he didn't pay attention to his hand movements and subconsciously tightened his grip.

However, he couldn't say it directly, so he simply sneered like a master: "To drop one's weapon is a disgrace to a warrior."

Shen Xianke stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then gave him a thumbs up: "That's a very sophisticated statement."

Lu Zhao was surprised to hear the word "forced" from her. After all, she was supposed to be a cool and aloof school beauty. Now it seems that everyone misjudged her back in school.

"What do you mean now? Are we still practicing?"

"It's up to you."

"Never mind then, I'll come back when my cultivation level has improved a bit."

"it is good."

After fulfilling yesterday's agreement, Lu Zhao stood up, but before he could leave, Fang Ziran stopped him.

"Hey, you surnamed Lu, let's go again!"

Lu Zhao shook his index finger: "You defeated opponent, you should go back and practice too."

"You!" Fang Ziran gritted her teeth, yet was helpless.

Now, the positions of challenger and challenged have been reversed.

Lu Zhao has already made a shallow understanding of the first three thousand realms, and he has also obtained Shi Jian's Cleansing Pill. Next, he will have to focus more on improving his realm.

If special skills are ultimate moves and martial arts skills are minor skills, then realm is the character's basic stats. Only when the stats are high enough can the character unleash their full potential.

Otherwise, if they encounter an opponent like Shen Xianke, they will still face considerable pressure.

He left the training ground and walked back, where he encountered two patrolling squads of soldiers.

Unlike new recruits, veterans don't have to do anything but train. They have many responsibilities, and even in the recruit area, there are many soldiers patrolling day and night.

"Why are they patrolling everywhere in this Void Sea? Surely they can't be pirates coming to rob us."

Lu Zhao was walking down the street with his hands in his pockets when he suddenly heard someone whistling next to him.

Turning his head, he saw Wang Zhao grinning lewdly and raising his eyebrows at him.

"...Brother, why are you acting like a gangster?"

What is "Young and Dangerous"?

"Just a bunch of thugs."

Wang Zhao didn't care, but ran over and questioned, "What's wrong with you? How did you get involved with Cen Lanqi? That guy has a really strange temper. Luckily I protected you, otherwise you'd be in for a chat with the military supervisory team."

Do you have the right to say someone has a weird temper...?

Lu Zhao found that most of the people he encountered had rather strange tempers, which made him feel a little odd.

Isn't it said that birds of a feather flock together? Why do I, such a normal person, always run into people like them?

He then recounted how he had taken the wrong turn, then helped Fu Xixi fix the grinding machine, and was caught cheating by Cen Lanqi... and cornered at the door.

"Haha, so that's how it is. Old Xiong was stammering for ages yesterday, and I still didn't understand."

"She probably wanted to complain to you, but she felt awkward saying it directly because we're close."

"Yeah, that's true. Old Xiong isn't a bad person."

Lu Zhao didn't seem to care and casually asked, "You guys usually handle such trivial things as repairing machines?"

Wang Zhao sighed: "What? Cen Lanqi's apprentice asked us to help with the repairs. I thought it was his own idea, and we couldn't refuse, so I asked Lao Xiong to go."

"Does he have that much influence?"

"After all, he is a sorcerer from the Huangmen Temple."

Wang Zhao shook his head. "Sigh, let's not talk about him. What do you think now?"

Lu Zhao was confused: "What do you mean, what do you think?"

"The thing about learning technology from me is that I'll be going down there in less than two weeks. I'll be changing ships then. If you'd like to come with me, we can change ships together."

"this...."

To be honest, Lu Zhao was more interested in martial arts at the moment, since he had gained a lot of satisfaction from it, and he also wanted to explore other unique skills of the Sword Sect and the field of sorcery.

However, becoming an engineer is also a good path; people like Wang Zhao are treasures of the empire. Although he claims he must give Cen Lanqi face, conversely, Cen Lanqi has also given him face.

Wang Zhao said angrily, "Oh dear, you're hesitating now. Do you know how many people want to join my team but don't have the connections? I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. Anyway, you'll have opportunities before you get off the ship, so think it over yourself."

Lu Zhao knew his personality; he saw his hesitation as utter contempt in the man's eyes. So he quickly explained with a forced smile, "No, I just learned some sword techniques from Old Ji. I'm hesitant because I feel that if I were to turn around and learn other skills now, wouldn't I be letting him down?"

"Hey, what's so great about the Sword Sect's ultimate techniques? It's not about having powerful martial arts skills, it's about having amazing special skills!" Wang Zhao's words were filled with the confidence that he believed all the truths of the world were in his heart.

Lu Zhao frowned.

Not so good at martial arts, but amazing special skills?

This argument....

Wang Zhao raised both hands: "Qi Sect is awesome!"

"Why are you, an engineer, getting involved in other schools of thought's disputes..." Lu Zhao was speechless.

Wang Zhao said, "Never mind that, the Qi Sect is awesome anyway. Martial arts can only be used to kill people, but special skills have many more uses. Look at my Qi Sensitivity, it's a great help to engineering technology."

Lu Zhao asked, "What use is sensitivity to internal energy for technique?"

He always felt that this special skill could only be used to assist in cultivation and had nothing to do with engineering.

Wang Zhao was about to answer, but suddenly stopped, and smiled mysteriously: "Want to know? Come with me to learn the technique, and I'll show you."

Lu Zhao didn't rule out any possibility: "Let's talk about it when we disembark."

"Fine, you'll definitely come looking for me anyway."

Wang Zhao was full of confidence. After speaking, he turned around and left.

"..."

Lu Zhao remained silent, returning to the deserted training ground at the edge, where he began to devote almost all his energy to cultivating and improving his realm.

.....

There was nothing in the void sea; the ships floated there as if they were motionless, as if even time had stopped.

However, time doesn't really stop; on the contrary, it passes very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

It is said that tomorrow, this Kun-class transport ship will leave the Void Sea and enter the satellite orbit of the planet where Wanxiang Continent is located.

At this moment, Lu Zhao is making the most of his time for final training, because after landing, he will immediately face a new test, the results of which will determine his future and circumstances for a long time to come.
