Chapter 11 is difficult!
The second round of knife practice was noticeably smoother than the first, taking only a little over seven minutes.
But the panel remained unchanged.
The third time.
Fourth time.
……
It wasn't until the tenth time that two lines of text finally appeared on the panel.
Your first-tier swordsmanship skill has been increased from 0.02% to 0.032%.
[Your Thunderous Blade Technique has been increased from 0% to 0.001%]
Upon seeing those two lines of text, Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned.
The Thunder Blade Technique only improves by 0.001% after ten repetitions, which means it improves by 0.0001% in one repetition.
The dog panel didn't display the first few times because of the ten-thousandths place, right?
Alright, alright, S-rank swordsmanship is that difficult, huh!
In retrospect, he underestimated the difficulty of S-level swordsmanship.
It truly lives up to its reputation as the world's number one swordsman's creation!
I underestimated things at first.
It's true that diligence can make up for lack of talent.
That means they don't give themselves any shortcuts.
OK OK.
Is this how you play?
At the same time, he also realized that the boost that S-level martial arts provided to first-tier sword techniques was not as much as he had imagined.
Practicing the "Raging Thunder Blade Technique" once only increases one's first-tier blade technique skill by 0.012%.
Compared to the previous 0.001% increase each time, this represents a 20% increase.
A Tier 1 S-rank sword technique is 20% faster than a basic sword technique?!
Am I the one who's missing that 20% of time?!
Even a dog would shake its head at this!!!
Jiang Chen stopped complaining.
In any case, as long as there is something to gain from each sword practice session, that's fine. It's better than practicing from dawn till dusk every day without making any progress.
If ten times isn't enough, then a hundred times, a thousand times.
The word "diligent" was already deeply ingrained in Jiang Chen's bones.
What he fears least is repetitive and uninterrupted sword practice.
Pulling himself back to his sword practice, Jiang Chen continued to concentrate.
First-tier sword techniques are more complex than basic sword techniques because they also involve corresponding body movements, and are no longer simply slashing.
Therefore, each practice session will take longer.
At first, Jiang Chen, who was still quite inexperienced, needed to spend five or six minutes practicing each time.
As he gradually became more proficient, he reduced the time to less than a minute, and sometimes even only half a minute.
The 20th time.
[Your Thunderous Blade Technique has been increased from 0.001% to 0.002%]
Your first-tier swordsmanship skill has been increased from 0.032% to 0.044%.
The 30th time.
[Your Thunderous Blade Technique has been increased from 0.002% to 0.003%]
Your first-tier swordsmanship skill has been increased from 0.044% to 0.056%.
……
Jiang Chen looked at the text on the panel.
Seeing the progress, little by little, I gradually calmed down.
It's probably because they progressed too quickly after getting the panel, forgetting the reality that their talent was mediocre and that no amount of effort would improve their abilities.
They actually complained that martial arts training was too slow.
Now, all I need to do is focus on my spiritual practice.
With hard work, your skills will eventually improve!
With his mind free from distracting thoughts, Jiang Chen finally calmed down.
His mind was solely focused on practicing his sword!
……
[Your Thunderous Blade Technique has been increased from 0.007% to 0.008%]
Your first-tier swordsmanship skill has been increased from 0.104% to 0.116%.
……
As time went by and his swordsmanship improved, Jiang Chen's progress became increasingly evident.
His steps were steady, each step seemingly accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, and his changing form exuded a sharp and fierce aura.
Each swing of the blade stirred the air, producing a deep, thunderous sound that was incredibly awe-inspiring.
[Your Thunderous Blade Technique has been increased from 0.009% to 0.01%]
Your first-tier swordsmanship skill has been increased from 0.128% to 0.140%.
After practicing his sword a full hundred times, Jiang Chen was panting and covered in sweat.
He sat down on the ground and wiped the sweat from his hair with his sleeve.
He did it a full hundred times, which took him an hour and a half.
The main reason is that this level S-grade sword technique is more complex than the basic sword technique, and Jiang Chen has only just mastered it, so the speed is not fast.
However, later on, he could practice a set of sword techniques in less than half a minute.
Looking at the prompts on the panel, although the improvement after a hundred repetitions is very slow.
But being able to visually observe the changes in the data is very rewarding.
Unfortunately, the library has time restrictions, and I can't stay here forever.
After resting for a while, Jiang Chen finally left the library.
After leaving the library, Jiang Chen planned to go to the martial arts classroom to pick up his things and go back.
As they approached the classroom door, they suddenly heard a series of whooshing sounds coming from inside.
"Are people still practicing shooting?"
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then looked at the sun, which was almost "off duty," and couldn't help but feel strange.
It was already after school, and most students were eager to get back to their dormitories to eat or wash up.
Few people continue to train at the martial arts studio.
Especially since this is the classroom for Class 3.
He's been training for so many years, how come he's never heard of anyone in Class 3 working so hard?
As Jiang Chen walked to the entrance, he saw a somewhat chubby figure practicing in the training area, holding a long spear.
"Qin Shou?"
Jiang Chen looked surprised.
I wondered if this guy had changed his ways today, or if he had taken the wrong medicine?
Why are you still practicing here now?
Normally, he would be the one who gets out of school and goes home on time.
That's really strange.
Seeing Qin Shou training, Jiang Chen chose not to disturb him.
He crossed his arms, leaned against the doorway, and watched the other person with great interest.
In the martial arts classroom, Qin Shou constantly changed his posture, staring intently at the spear in his hand.
Even though he was covered in sweat, he didn't stop.
A serious expression, rarely seen on his round face, appeared.
Perhaps because he had been practicing for too long, his breathing had become disordered, his movements were not very standard, and even his steps had become erratic.
But it was as if he was holding his breath, constantly swinging his gun and refusing to stop.
"If you keep practicing like this, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Just then, Jiang Chen's light, airy voice came from the doorway, sounding particularly abrupt in the quiet room.
Qin Shou's movements faltered slightly. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Jiang Chen. Immediately, his body relaxed, and the breath he had been holding in his chest dissipated.
With a thud, he plopped down on the floor, panting heavily.
After practicing shooting for so long, he was already exhausted.
Jiang Chen walked over with a smile: "Old Qin, what's gotten into you today?"
Qin Shou looked at him, and after a long pause, he smiled and replied, "Brother Chen, I just wanted to catch up with you."
"You're right, hard work will always pay off."
"I've decided that from now on, I'll practice for an extra hour every day after school to keep up with your pace."
He was genuinely happy for his friend today when he saw him achieve a breakthrough.
At the same time, he was also moved by the other party and made a rare decision to practice diligently.
The thought of escaping that I had during the day had long since vanished.
Jiang Chen's eyes flashed.
I wonder if this guy's enthusiasm is just fleeting.
He kindly reminded him, "Old Qin, although your spirit is commendable, martial arts training requires a gradual approach."
"You want to get fat overnight?"
If Qin Shou trains him this way, he'll be ruined in three days and won't make any progress.
