Carl grinned, feeling a little embarrassed. He said, "Sorry, I have to learn the Sword-combating Skill... As you all know, there is no place in Punk Fortress for me to practice the Sword-combating Skill, so I have to find a place outside Punk Fortress to practice."
"Ah? How dare you practice outside Punk Fortress? Aren't you afraid of encountering wild bugs?" John exclaimed in disbelief.
Rio thought for a moment and said seriously, "Actually, it's okay to practice outside Punk Fortress... After all, we have destroyed the two largest hives outside the fortress...
"If Carl runs across some wild bugs, I think that given his current strength, he should be able to escape even if he couldn't defeat the bugs..."
Carl chuckled, nodded his head, and said, "Yes. I am gradually mastering the power of gale. Even if I couldn't win, I could still run away."
John snorted unhappily and muttered in a low voice, "Only after you h
Carl walked into the jungle, found a clear place, and put down his fully stuffed backpack.After taking the heavy load off his back, he stretched himself comfortably."All right, Yates. Now you can teach me how to practice the Sword-combating Skill, right?" Carl said happily and expectantly.Yates showed up and looked around in a nostalgic way. Then he glanced at Carl and said, "If you want to practice the Sword-combating Skill, you should familiarize yourself with your weapon first... After the Sword of Gale has merged with your War Spirit weapon, the number of times you use it can be counted on the fingers of one hand.""So, how do I familiarize myself with my weapon? Should I just hold the Gun-sword of Gale and shoot?"With a flash of blue light, a Gun-sword of Gale looking exactly the same as the one in Carl's hand appeared in the void. Yates grabbed the handle of the Gun-sword of Gale and slashed down with
"Ho!" The monsters with eyes glowing with green light quickly moved to the side and dodged Carl's attack before the sword Qi hit them.The figures of those monsters rushing out of the bushes were clearly revealed under the moonlight. They were wild black bugs!Carl did not care much about the identity of those bugs. After all, he was in the wilderness now. It was not surprising that he would run across any kind of bugs.What surprised Carl was the sword Qi produced by the slashing movement that he performed just now.He saw Yates practicing the Gale Swordsmanship a long time ago. The beams of strong sword Qi looked fancy and cool, and most importantly, their attack power was shocking.He didn't expect that he could easily produce sword Qi with a slash after practicing hard for only one day."The Gale Swordsmanship doesn't seem to be that powerful!"At this time, Yates smiled and said, "
Carl smiled noncommittally, looked at the dead bodies of black bugs scattered on the ground, and said with emotion, "The effect of the Shield of Wind is not bad. Can I use this move now?"Yates thought for a moment and then nodded. "You should be able to use it now. After all, the principle of the Shield of Wind is not difficult to learn. You just need to transform the sword Qi into a shield.""However, you're not proficient enough in using the sword Qi, so you can't use the Shield of Wind now.""It doesn't matter, as long as I can use it in the future... According to the trial I made just now, my War Spirit power is obviously insufficient. However, considering my current state, I really need this move to protect myself."Carl had some means of attack for either long-range shooting or close combat.However, as a gunman who used a sword as his secondary weapon, he still lacked something for keeping himself alive.
"However, to enable the sword Qi to cut off the flowing current, I will have to increase the output of my War Spirit power every time I do the slashing... In that case, I will soon run out of my War Spirit power, right?"Carl asked in confusion. After all, he was practicing in the wilderness. For a War Spirit Warrior, War Spirit power was the most important thing. If he used it up, no one knew what he was supposed to do should anything bad happen.He did not want to lose his life just because he had to practice the Sword-combating Skill in the wilderness.Yates pointed to the side to remind Carl of the Kalin machine gun he had taken with him for protection."Just rest reassured and practice! When you can cut off the current with a single strike, you will be able to deal with your enemy in a normal battle even if you haven't reached the peak of the Gale Swordsmanship!"Seeing that Yates was so determined, Carl ha
Under the cover of the rushing current, the second night passed peacefully.When Carl opened his eyes in the morning sun, he felt as if he had been reborn.He waved his arm and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, why does my arm feel so relaxed? It does not feel burdened at all!"Yates had been in repose with his eyes closed. After opening his eyes and seeing Carl exclaiming in surprise, he chuckled and said calmly, "You have this feeling because your physical strength has reached a new level and your War Spirit power has also been improved significantly after your practice in the past few days.""Oh?" Carl was surprised. "Even my War Spirit power has been improved, right?"As he spoke, he drew his Gun-sword of Gale, smiled, and fired a shot at the sky casually.Bang! An ear-splitting gunshot rang through the quiet jungle. It sounded extraordinarily loud."It's so powerful!" Feeling the shot h
"What are you waiting for?" Carl shouted in a low voice.His serious look proved that he was very serious at the moment. It looked like if the enemy did not show up and identify himself, Carl would definitely take the initiative to attack!Finally, as if he had felt Carl's determination to attack, that person sighed softly, got out of the hiding place, and walked straight toward Carl.As the person got closer and closer to Carl, the look on Carl's face changed from a serious one to a surprised one and then gradually turned into a shocked one."Faye? What are you doing here? Aren't you the aide of Shadow Blade? How come you still have spare time to come here?"Carl looked at Faye, dumbfounded. No matter who he had thought that person was, Faye was the last one that should be here.The look on Carl's face suddenly changed. He said seriously, "Faye, is there any urgent mission, so Shadow Blade has sent
Upon hearing that, Faye felt a little surprised, because she did not expect that Yates would assign such a difficult task for Carl. However, she pointed to the place where Carl's sword Qi disappeared. She meant to ask what Carl should do now that the goal was to cut off the flowing water, but Carl's sword Qi did not even reach halfway there.Carl blushed under Faye's gaze. Feeling a little awkward, he said, "I have practiced for just a few days. You should know that the sword Qi that I produced at first could not even reach that far."Faye smiled, walked to the side without saying anything, and then sat down.Seeing Carl's confused look, she said, "I don't have any task recently. Thanks to your previous efforts, the life in Punk Fortress is much more relaxing than before."Carl chuckled. "It seems that Faye is not going to leave. However, it is much better to have a beautiful woman keeping me company than to practice alone.
Faye smiled and said to Carl, "Lend me your weapon. I'll show you."Carl hurriedly handed the Gun-sword of Gale to Faye. Faye took the Gun-sword of Gale, and her arm lowered slightly. It seemed that she did not expect the weapon to be so heavy."Phew..." Faye managed to hold the Gun-sword of Gale firmly. Obviously, her physical strength was not as good as Carl's."It will be the first time that I use the sword Qi. However, if I'm not mistaken, the sword Qi that I can produce will be more powerful than yours." Faye smiled faintly. Without even bothering to make any preparation, she slashed down with the Gun-sword of Gale.A streak of blue light suddenly burst out from the blade.In fact, the streak of sword Qi was almost the same as that produced by Carl. However, the difference immediately showed when the beam of sword Qi produced by Faye hit the water surface.Swish!The bottom edge of
