Chapter 125 Demonstration

Gu Fei finished greeting Coward Savior before getting to the topic of kung fu. Coward Savior couldn't wait to demonstrate for Gu Fei, to show him the achievements he had made in the past month.

Before Gu Fei could stop him, Coward Savior had already shouted and jumped to the fountain's edge to practice. This was undoubtedly eye-catching, and in an instant, it attracted a large crowd. The players watched and muttered, with the most common comment being, "What's wrong with him?"

Coward Savior remained unmoved, performing *cha chui*, *fanche*, *bengbu*, *zhai kui*, *shuang chahua*, *shiba suo*... Each move was precise and smooth. In game terms, Coward Savior's skill proficiency was already quite high. As for practical application, that was another matter.

Seeing that he didn't seem to mind the surrounding gazes, Gu Fei suddenly felt a wave of emotion. This feeling was familiar. In his youth, his admiration for kung fu had reached its peak, and he took pride in possessing it. He, too, had completely ignored the strange looks from those around him. Now, Gu Fei finally understood that this kind of pride could only be buried in the heart, because so many people simply couldn't understand it.

Just like Gu Fei's situation at school, kung fu... everyone treated it as a joke, so how could they respect it? In this case, unless...

"Hey! What's this idiot doing?" A loud voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Ha!" Unfortunately, Coward Savior was facing that direction. He saw the person who spoke and, with a loud shout, rushed forward in a single stride. Using the *di bie shuai* move from the Nine Turns Eighteen Falls technique, he threw the man to the ground, then flashed back to his original position in two steps.

Gu Fei nodded repeatedly: this was exactly what was needed, so others would understand that kung fu wasn't a joke. Unfortunately, he had been forbidden from using kung fu to fight since he was a child. Otherwise, wouldn't it be extremely simple to prove that his kung fu was the real deal?

The guy who was thrown down was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that his health hadn't decreased much. Surrounded by laughter, he immediately lost face. He flipped over and got up, cursing, "You little brat!" and pulled a two-handed greatsword from his pocket, swinging it upward.

Gu Fei stood still, wanting to see how Coward Savior would react.

As expected, Coward Savior was very calm. He slightly slid two steps to the side, dodging the opponent's Mount Tai-like chop. Then, he wrapped his hands around the opponent's waist, roared, and the loudmouth was sent flying, landing in the fountain in the center of the square with a splash.

"Damn!" Gu Fei muttered to himself. Embrace throw... at the critical moment, Coward Savior still used a game skill for emergency situations, instead of Mantis Fist.

The guy in the pool stood up, dripping wet. His head was clear now, and he knew he couldn't beat the other guy in a PK. Facing the even louder laughter around him, he didn't dare to shout anymore. He climbed out of the pool and slunk away.

"Let's go!" Gu Fei said to Coward Savior.

"Not practicing anymore?" Coward Savior hadn't finished practicing.

"Let's find a place to fight monsters and practice!" Gu Fei told him.

Coward Savior was new to the area and unfamiliar with the training areas of Cloudgaze City. Moreover, he hadn't played the game much in the past month and didn't have Gu Fei's leveling efficiency. As of today, he was only level 34. Gu Fei led him to a level 30+ training area, pointed at the small monsters and said, "Kung fu training usually has three steps: basic skills, forms, and then sparring. You do the basic skills in real life, there's no need in the game. You're already very familiar with the forms, so next is sparring. Sparring alone is like hitting a wooden dummy or a sandbag. It's better in the game because you have moving monsters to spar with. Alright, go spar!"

"Can't I spar with you?" Coward Savior asked.

"Spar with me?" Gu Fei was taken aback. "If you're not afraid of hurting your pride, you can!"

Coward Savior immediately blushed. Gu Fei patted him and said, "Sparring has to go from solo sparring to partnered sparring, there's a process, take it slow!"

Coward Savior nodded.

"For sparring, you can't just follow the choreographed forms step by step. You need to choose the right moves based on the enemy's position and attacks. I'll demonstrate for you." Gu Fei said, stepping into the arena and walking towards a monster.

The monster roared and attacked. Gu Fei gently dodged, throwing a punch, then moving, punching, kicking, using a whole bunch of Mantis Fist moves on the monster, leaving Coward Savior dumbfounded.

Fast, it was too fast! Gu Fei, with all his agility points, was much faster than Coward Savior. But every punch and every kick was still coherent at this speed, and every move was so clear that Coward Savior could easily figure out which form the punch came from. It was too awesome.

Coward Savior watched with his mouth open. Gu Fei beat the monster for more than three minutes before it fell. Sorry, although he was using kung fu, the system determined that it was just a normal attack. A bare-handed mage's normal attack could only cause 1 point of fixed damage against the monster's defense. Gu Fei had slowly worn the monster down, 1 point at a time.

"How was it?" Gu Fei asked Coward Savior, walking back.

Coward Savior said with a sad face, "I wanted to spar with you, but just watching you spar alone has already hurt my pride."

"How are you so fast?" Coward Savior asked.

"I added agility..." Gu Fei said.

"Oh right... it's a game..." Coward Savior was obviously confused about his role.

"How did you add your points?" Gu Fei asked.

"Spirit, strength, and a little agility..." Coward Savior said. The most special attack method for Fighters was combos, so spirit, the attribute that affected skill activation speed, was very important to them.

"It doesn't matter, you can respec at level 40." Gu Fei didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to say this to someone else. But he reminded him, "If you want to play the game with kung fu, agility is essential. If it's just a simple game, then you don't have to worry about it."

For ordinary people, this was a difficult choice. Obviously, kung fu skills and game skills were incompatible. For example, Gu Fei, if he didn't have excellent equipment, his mage side would be useless. He had used high-level equipment to improve his mage side, but Coward Savior obviously didn't. Moreover, he didn't care about the profession in the game, but that didn't mean that others had the same idea. It all depended on how deep Coward Savior's love for kung fu was.

"Alright, you practice here, call me if you need anything." Gu Fei instructed Coward Savior and said goodbye.

After leaving, Gu Fei went to level up alone. During that time, he also helped Yutian Shenming with a few bounty missions. When Rebirth Crystal called Gu Fei to team up for leveling after 7 PM, Gu Fei used the excuse of helping Yutian Shenming with the missions to avoid it.

"Thousand Miles, are you leveling today?" Piaoliu also sent a message asking.

"I'm not coming, helping a friend with a mission." Gu Fei said.

"Oh, then I'm not going either..." Piaoliu said. Frankly speaking, for experts like Gu Fei and Piaoliu, leveling alone was faster than team leveling. Piaoliu was mainly interested in Gu Fei's spells, so he followed the girls from Rebirth Crystal. Seeing that Gu Fei wasn't going, he wouldn't waste his time on it. If he was often distracted by these things, how could Piaoliu be one of the Five Little Strong Ones?

Zhan Wushang and Yutian Shenming were two vivid examples. Since teaming up with Rebirth Crystal, they had both shown varying degrees of decline on the experience rankings.

In fact, Gu Fei was the most suitable person to do this, and he didn't care much about the speed of leveling.

Without the two major experts in charge, the Rebirth Crystal group naturally couldn't fight monsters above their level. The girls didn't care much, and set off for their usual leveling spot. They, like Gu Fei, didn't care much about the speed of leveling. It was better to fight monsters above their level, but if not, it didn't matter. What they talked about most at this time was that Gu Fei and Piaoliu didn't come at the same time today. Could there be some illicit affair?

Three days passed. The official finally officially announced the news of the competition event. It was indeed the mercenary competition and the guild competition, just like what Brother You had heard. It was said that there was originally a personal competition, but because the professions were too mutually exclusive, the personal competition was not balanced. In addition, if only competitions between the same profession were held, then the PK technical content between the two professions of priest and knight was quite low, so naturally there was nothing to watch, so it was given up.

There was only one content in the competition, called Survival Challenge.

The name was scary, but it was actually similar to Counter-Strike. Two teams of people were thrown into a random map to PK in a limited time. Knocking down all opponents would naturally lead to direct victory. If there were still players alive on both sides when the time was up, then the judgment would be based on the number of enemies killed by both sides, with the higher number winning.

The winner of each game would receive a fixed reward of money and experience, as well as a random item reward. The amount of the reward depended on the performance during the game. Theoretically, the most generous reward would be given if the time spent was 0, the loss on one’s own side was 0, and the opponent was completely knocked down. As the competition progressed, the base number of experience and money rewards would increase, and the probability of item rewards appearing would also increase.

At present, the most attractive item rewards were top-quality equipment and Eternal Skill Scrolls.

The Eternal Skill Scroll was a new item officially released. It was said that after using it, a new skill could be given to the character. This skill may be one that you would need to level up dozens of levels to learn, or even more rare, it might not even be on the skill tree. However, there was also a limitation: it could only be a skill of that profession. It was never possible for a mage to master stealth.

In a private room in Little Thunder Tavern, Brother You introduced the news announced on the official website to everyone.

Because of Brother You's existence, Jian Gui and the others, who were very professional players, spent less time on the official website. Unless they needed to search for some information. Usually, when there was any news, he would naturally announce it when he met Brother You every day.

As soon as he finished speaking about the Eternal Skill Scroll, Yutian Shenming became excited: "If I collect a bunch of scrolls, wouldn't I be able to become a dual-class sharpshooter and infiltrator?"

Everyone despised him. Yutian Shenming had obviously read too many YY novels. How could this kind of thing happen to him? He wasn't the main character.

"The only way to get this kind of thing is to be a perverted RMB warrior." Brother You said.

"Xiaoyao Wu..." The others chanted the name together.

Gu Fei had just heard this name yesterday, and it seemed that she deserved to be the most awesome RMB player in history. As soon as someone mentioned a perverted RMB warrior, these old birds would call out this name.

"Yutian, if you get this girl, maybe your wish can be realized." Brother You said.

Yutian Shenming had a leisurely and yearning look on his face.

"Uh, this kind of rich woman is probably not such a naive child, I have to step in." Zhan Wushang said shamelessly.

An old and a young lecher were arguing.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Han Jia Gongzi slammed the table. Gu Fei drew his sword, and Jian Gui drew his dagger. The two became quiet.

"Continue to talk about serious business." Han Jia Gongzi said expressionlessly.

"I'm done talking, it's your turn." Brother You said.

"Oh..." Han Jia Gongzi nodded. After a long while, he looked at everyone: "Where's my wine glass?"

Jian Gui suddenly got up: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, he's drunk."

"Sit down." Han Jia Gongzi looked at Jian Gui with contempt: "You think I'm you?"

Then he tapped the table with his hand and began to tell everyone about serious business: "This competition. The large guilds and mercenary groups will definitely try to eliminate their opponents as quickly as possible; as for the small guilds, it is definitely impossible to win in a head-on confrontation in this kind of group battle, so they can only use the second rule. Kill as many enemies as possible and play hide-and-seek with the opponent. This rule should be set up to protect the small guilds. When we encounter large mercenary groups, this is the only way to play."

"However, if there is this rule, there should be some restrictions on the thief's stealth skills in this competition!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

Brother You was stunned for a moment and nodded: "You think pretty fast. There are restrictions, but the rules have not yet been released."

Han Jia Gongzi smiled: "Now you understand what it means to be both beautiful and intelligent!"
