We're Already In Close Combat And You Still Say You're A Mage?

Time flies by, and it's late at night in a blink of an eye.

It is approaching the festival, the streets are brightly lit and busy with traffic.

In the gym on the roadside, several people who looked like coaches had just gotten off work and walked out.

The middle-aged man at the head was obviously the boss.

The middle-aged man turned back to the others and said, "Today, I will help Xiao Xu come back safely to meet Feng. You can eat whatever you want in the evening. I'll treat you."

"Thank you, Boss Tang!" Everyone cheered.

After walking a short distance, a few people walked to a large barbecue stall on the side of the road, sat down, and started ordering.

After a while, the dishes were served, and everyone began to eat happily.

While eating and chatting, the matter of Xu Bai's disappearance couldn't help but come up.

"Brother Xu, what happened that night? Can you tell me about it to the brothers?"

asked the colleague next to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai naturally couldn't tell them about the Garden of Origin, so he made up a story and told it to everyone.

Xu Bai's storytelling skills were pretty good, and everyone present was immediately attracted by the ups and downs of the story.

The story is told very quickly and is nothing more than some cliche plot.

"In other words, Brother Xu, you were knocked unconscious and kidnapped, and then you broke the rope and ran away?"

one of them asked after hearing the story.

"Yes, thanks to my wit and bravery at that time, otherwise my designated waist would be gone now."

Xu Bai said seriously.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that and have a good meal." The boss interrupted them.

"Come on, let's go!" someone immediately suggested.

"Go one!" Everyone agreed.

Several people stood up and clinked glasses.

The hustle and bustle continues, and time passes by bit by bit.

...

The meal didn't last long. After more than two hours, several people said goodbye to each other, got up and left.

Xu Bai did not ride his little electric donkey, but trotted home along the sidewalk.

His trot was already much faster than ordinary people running at full speed.

Because he didn't drink much, Xu Bai was not drunk. Instead, his brain became very sober under the stimulation of alcohol.

Halfway through the journey, Xu Bai saw a person under the tree in front of him from a distance, holding on to the tree as if he was vomiting.

"Another drunk." Xu Bai thought to himself.

Along the way, he saw at least five or six people vomiting on the roadside.

Seeing that he was getting close, Xu Bai covered his nose and was about to speed up and pass by the man. His pupils suddenly tightened, and a strong smell of blood filled his nasal cavity!

Xu Bai looked carefully, and the sight in front of him surprised him.

That person is not vomiting, but eating!

I saw that the man was holding something unknown in his hand, chewing it with relish, and large drops of blood dripped from his mouth.

Because the distance was relatively far and the lights were dim, Xu Bai mistakenly thought he was vomiting.

At this time, the distance between the two was no more than ten meters. The figure eating in front slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Bai.

Through the light, Xu Bai could clearly see the man's appearance.

That person, no, that was a monster that could no longer be called a human.

Its face was covered with green pus bubbles, and its mouth had disappeared, replaced by a three-flap mouthpart that could split to the neck. The exposed limbs were covered with black hair. The one standing on the ground The feet have been replaced by claws that look like birds, and the two hands are equipped with sharp claws. They are holding a whole limb that looks like a human thigh, chewing it with relish.

"Fuck!"

The moment he saw the monster clearly, Xu Bai immediately felt his scalp numb and alarm bells blaring in his heart.

This was the first time he had seen such an inhuman monster.

The orcs who had previously fought against Baal Star were not counted.

Although those orcs have partially transformed limbs, they still have some human characteristics, and the thing in front of them is clearly a complete monster.

The monster also saw Xu Bai, dropped the limbs in its hands, let out a shrill scream, leaned down, and rushed towards Xu Bai with all four limbs.

Xu Bai was not ambiguous, and immediately suppressed the shock in his heart. With a thought, Po Xie appeared in his hand, the gun body glowed with a faint blue light, and he moved forward to meet the enemy!

The distance of ten meters passed in an instant. Xu Bai moved sideways, dodged the monster's claws, and kicked the monster in the lower back.

With Xu Bai's 20 points of strength, the monster was kicked hard and hit the tree next to it.

It hit the trees and shook, and the leaves fell.

The monster stood up and shook off the fallen leaves and moved its body.

This kick did not seriously injure it, but instead aroused its ferocity. It immediately dug its limbs on the ground and rushed towards Xu Bai again.

Looking at the charging monster, Xu Bai held Poxie, which exuded a faint blue light, in his hand, predicted the monster's next landing point, and threw the spear with all his strength.

In the brief battle, Xu Bai discovered that although the monster's physical fitness was stronger than that of ordinary people, it was still not good enough to compare with him.

That's why Xu Bai threw out the Evil Breaker with the frost trap attached, wanting to see the lethality of this combo.

In an instant, the spear pierced the monster's abdomen accurately, and countless ice spikes exploded in the monster's body, instantly bursting the monster's body and turning it into a bloody mist, leaving only a mutilated head rolling to the ground. .

With the double increase of talent and weapon skills, the power of the frost trap has been doubled. Only one skill can kill this monster in seconds.

Xu Bai waved his hand, and Po Xie returned to his hand.

Stepping forward with the gun in hand, Xu Bai kicked the head that fell to the ground.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the monster was unresponsive, he took out his cell phone and called Wang Song of the Supernatural Management Bureau.

After a while, several police cars came from a distance. Wang Song, who received the situation, rushed to the scene with his men.

The vehicle stopped, and Wang Song got out of the vehicle and inspected the scene.

After briefly walking around the scene, Wang Song judged the situation in front of him.

"This monster should be a human who has just become a first-order walker, but there may be some problems with his talent or profession that make him like this. This is the pollution I mentioned to you before. "

Wang Song glanced at Xu Bai and continued: "This situation is actually very common. Generally speaking, the strength of a contaminated walker is usually 30 to 50% higher than the original strength, and in more extreme cases it may be 80%. Look at this person's head. The mutation situation is probably the most extreme one."

"To be able to kill this kind of thing, you must have used a powerful one-time item, right?"

Wang Song asked Xu Bai doubtfully. He didn't think that Xu Bai, who had just become a first-level walker, could kill this monster so cleanly.

It will be almost the same when the second level comes.

"Yes, I paid a heavy price to kill him."

Xu Bai replied casually, since the other party already had the answer, he would give the answer that the other party wanted to hear.

He doesn't want others to know his true strength yet.

After hearing Xu Bai's answer, Wang Song nodded and said, "If I guessed correctly, your next trial should be about two weeks away."

"This is not difficult to guess." Xu Bai said.

"That's fine. This pollution should have been dealt with by us. Since you did it for us, we can't treat you badly."

Wang Song patted Xu Bai on the shoulder.

"A powerful one-time item will be sent to you within three days. Don't forget to sign for it then."

Xu Bai was not polite and agreed immediately.

"Okay, you can go back first and leave the scene to our people to clean up. Someone will also be responsible for the victim's affairs."

Seeing that Xu Bai agreed, Wang Song indicated that he could go back and there was no need to conduct further investigations.

...

After returning home and taking a simple hot shower, Xu Bai lay on the bed and thought about the details of the battle just now.

If you think about it carefully, the reason why the whole battle ended so quickly was not because of the difference in physical attributes.

Although Xu Bai's physical attributes are higher than those of monsters, the winning factor is not his physical attributes, but his combat skills.

With the monster's completely instinctive fighting method, even if its physical attributes were twice as high as Xu Bai's, Xu Bai could still rely on its superior combat skills to forcefully consume it.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai felt that he might need to pay more attention to combat skills instead of simply improving his strength.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai immediately stopped feeling sleepy.

He activated the terminal on his left hand and asked if there was any facility inside the Court of Origin that could improve his combat skills.

"Tip: If you want to improve your combat skills, please go to the Court of Origin - Fighting Skills Training Hall."

After receiving the reminder, Xu Bai was overjoyed and decided to try it out tomorrow.

...

The next morning.

Xu Bai teleported to his own exclusive room in the Court of Origin, walked out of the room and followed the prompts on the terminal to the fighting skills training hall.

After walking according to the map for a while, a building similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum appeared in front of Xu Bai.

After Xu Bai walked in, a prompt popped up on the terminal.

"Tip: You have activated the Fighting Skills Training Hall. You can get 48 hours of free time when you activate it for the first time. In addition, you can get an extra hour every day, with no upper limit."

"Current Arena Level: Failed Preliminary Test"

"After passing the preliminary test, you can gain combat skill points by fighting with others to upgrade your level and unlock more facilities."

After briefly reading the prompts, Xu Bai continued to follow the information provided on the terminal and came to an unused training room.

Pushing open the door, a training room full of technology appeared in front of Xu Bai.

The training room has complete training facilities.

At this time, another prompt popped up on the terminal.

"Prompt: Do you want to start preliminary testing?"

Xu Bai chose to start.

"The preliminary test will start in ten seconds."

"10, 9, 8,..."

After hearing the countdown, the spear to break the evil immediately appeared in Xu Bai's hand, ready to face the test.

"The countdown is over and the test begins."

As the beep fell, the scene in the training room quickly changed.

All training facilities disappeared into the walls, and the training room turned into an empty hall.

Two mechanical soldiers wearing high-tech armor walked out of the wall. The armor on their arms flipped outwards, and two lightsabers popped out and rushed towards Xu Bai.

Xu Bai immediately rushed forward to meet the enemy.

Seeing Xu Bai rushing toward him, the intelligence inside the mechanical soldier quickly completed calculations, predicted Xu Bai's next move, and slashed out the lightsaber in his hand.

Xu Bai lowered his head to avoid the lightsaber, rolled on the ground, and came to the feet of the second mechanical soldier.

The spear in Xu Bai's hand surged with cold light, and he stabbed the opponent's door from bottom to top.

The ice crystal exploded, and the mechanical soldier whose head disappeared fell straight down.

Xu Bai kicked up the headless corpse that fell to the ground and kicked it at the mechanical soldier chasing him.

"Weng"

With the buzzing sound of lightsabers cutting through the air, the mechanical soldiers chopped up the corpses of their flying companions, turning them into mechanical parts that filled the sky.

Using the cover of these scattered mechanical parts, Xu Bai followed closely.

The next moment, a spear with cold light pierced out from behind the mechanical parts and pierced its chest.

Ice crystals exploded within its body, blowing it into parts.

"Isn't this not difficult?" Xu Bai said to himself.

"Tip: The first round of testing has ended, and the second round of testing will start in 10 seconds."

"10, 9, 8,..."

Ten seconds passed quickly, and the next batch of mechanical soldiers to arrive became three.

The sound of fighting came from the training room again...

20 minutes later.

At this time, Xu Bai fell to the ground. There were terrifying large holes in his chest and abdomen, but no blood flowed out.

This was pierced by a high-energy lightsaber. The moment the wound was penetrated, the flesh and blood inside was charred and carbonized under the high temperature, and no blood flowed out at this time.

The number of mechanical soldiers around him has increased to seven.

"Tip: The test is over and your final score is level 7."

The wall of the room opened automatically again, and the robot soldier turned around and entered the wall and left.

"Your injuries have been automatically restored."

Along with the prompt sound, soft green light shone down, and the wounds on Xu Bai's body healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hoo~ho~ho"

After a while, Xu Bai leaned against the wall and gasped for air.

He could barely cope with five mechanical soldiers at the same time.

Six is ​​his limit.

When dealing with seven mechanical soldiers at the same time, he only lasted ten seconds before he found a flaw and was stabbed twice in the back, losing his combat effectiveness.

While he was thinking about how to carry out targeted training next, the prompt from the Court of Origin sounded.

"Tip: You have completed the preliminary test and the current arena level is 6."

"Tip: Your arena level has exceeded level 5, and combat projection permission has been enabled for you."

battle projection

Introduction: After using this authority, you will be projected with powerful figures from all over the world to guide you in your training. Permission can be obtained once after each trial.

Current projection upper limit level: third order

...

"If you really feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow."

Seeing the prompt, Xu Bai sighed in his heart.

I was just thinking about how to improve my combat skills, and the Court of Origin gave me this permission.

Choose to use it now.

"Tip: This time I will project for you, the Scythe of the End - Alaire (Level 3)."

"This projection time: three hours."

When the prompt ended, dots of light particles appeared out of thin air, gradually forming a figure wearing a black robe.

The man in black robe is petite, holding a gorgeous war sickle with golden and red lines in his hand, and his face is obscured by the huge hood on the black robe.

But judging from the outline of the chest, it seems to be a woman.

"let's start."

A crisp female voice sounded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gorgeous war sickle appeared in front of Xu Bai.

Alaire appeared in front of Xu Bai instantly, with a gorgeous war sickle on his neck.

He was about to cut off Xu Bai's head.

After a moment of hesitation, the sword in Alaire's hand changed from slashing to shooting, and flew Xu Bai away.

"so slow?"

Allaire looked disdainful.

Looking at Xu Bai who was lying aside, Alaire raised his fingers at him.

"Come on and attack, let me see how good you are."

Hearing this, Xu Bai stood up from the ground and launched an attack.

...

After three moves, he was shot to the ground again.

With just a twist of Alaire's war scythe, he removed Xu Bai's stabbed Poxie, and then swung his scythe horizontally, sending him flying away.

"When you attack, you should pay attention to the subtle strength of the opponent. At the same time, if you are not sure of killing, it is best not to use all your strength in an attack, but to leave some strength to deal with emergencies."

Alaire saw Xu Bai's problem keenly and pointed it out immediately.

As Alaire walked, he came to Xu Bai, pulled him up from the ground, and explained his shortcomings to him.

After a while, Xu Bai, who had learned his lesson, attacked again.

This time it was four moves, and he was knocked away again.

Alaire helped him up again and continued to explain.

...

Time passed very quickly, Xu Bai was whipped away again and again, and got up again and again.

Under the guidance of Alaire, who was several levels above him in terms of skills, he gradually realized his own shortcomings and was gradually able to survive a few rounds in her hands.

At this time, in the training room.

Alaire suppressed his strength to the same level as Xu Bai and helped him with moves.

The spear and the war sickle clashed, making a crisp sound every time they collided.

The golden lines of the battle sickle in Alaire's hand flickered, as if it had been activated, and he kept attacking Xu Bai.

Xu Bai parried with his spear and found the right opportunity to fight back from time to time.

Suddenly, Xu Bai seized the moment when Alaire was breathing, stepped to the right, dodged the war scythe, and stabbed Alaire directly in the abdomen.

Alaire jumped back several times to distance himself from Xu Bai and dodged the shot.

"My understanding is quite good. He was able to find my flaws so quickly and force me to retreat.

"you flatter me."

It's not that Xu Bai is modest, but that he knows the gap between the two sides in his heart.

If Alaire didn't suppress his strength, the opponent would be able to kill him in an instant.

"Okay, okay, I know what you are thinking. How can I fight you if I don't use my strength? That's not called a competition, that's called a one-sided massacre."

"That's what you said."

Xu Bai scratched his head in embarrassment as his thoughts were seen through.

"Tip: The projection time has come."

"see you later."

Alaire's projection turned into light particles and disappeared.

Xu Bai sat paralyzed on the ground. The high-intensity battle had consumed a lot of his physical energy and he was in urgent need of food replenishment.

He immediately chose to return to the real world.

Cyan gradually fills the field of vision.

...

The cyan color dissipated, the transmission was completed, and Xu Bai returned to the rental house.

He immediately rushed to the kitchen and rummaged through the refrigerator for something to eat.

"Huh~"

After a while, looking at the pile of packaging bags on the table, Xu Bai leaned on the sofa and breathed a long sigh of relief.

“The feeling of being full is really satisfying,” he said with emotion.

Looking at the time, Xu Bai found that it was only one o'clock in the afternoon.

I sat down at the computer and started my favorite game.

...

Time passed bit by bit, Xu Bai went to the fighting training ground to practice every day, and his spear skills continued to improve.

Xu Bai benefited a lot from the battle with Alaire, and he gradually paid attention to many details of the battle that he had not noticed before.

In a recent test, Xu Bai was able to fight against 24 mechanical soldiers alone without falling behind.

Spear skills are no longer what they used to be.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Xu Bai to go to the next world for trials.

During this period, Wang Song did not use express delivery, but personally delivered a powerful prop called "T-3 compression bomb" to his door.

T-3 compression bomb

Quality: Bronze level

Instructions for use: Explodes 2.5 seconds after activation, causing 300 points of explosion damage and subsequent 170 points of burning damage to all targets within a radius of 15m.

"Tip: There are still 30 minutes until the next trial starts. Please check your personal belongings and be prepared."

The next trial is about to begin!
