"Tyrant Blade - Earth Chapter"
"That kid doesn't know his own limitations. He's going to suffer a bit in this trial!"
"Nearly a thousand Seventh-Rank Magical Beast, using only the Mysterious Chapter of the Tyrant Blade technique is a bit too difficult. If we can't get through, we should leave a mark on him so that it will be convenient for him to come back in the future!"
On the first floor of the tower, the remnant soul somehow obtained a stone slab, and with a swipe of its hand on the slab, the image of the second floor appeared.
Looking at the scene, with hands waving and Blood Lightning raging, the remnant soul had some self-doubt:
"Dual swords? Where did dual swords come from in 'The Tyrant Blade - Mysterious Chapter '? This kid..."
The remnant soul zoomed in on the screen and saw that what Yang Shan was holding in his left hand was not a knife, but Blade Sheath.
However, the Blade Sheath was covered by Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, which solidified into the shape of a blade, thus serving as a weapon for the left hand.
However, when using the Blade Sheath, the base damage caused by Yang Shan Shan's slashes is reduced by removing the original bonuses and characteristics of the Blood Roar Blade.
Therefore, Yang Shan mostly used the Blade Sheath to parry, focusing his attacks primarily on the Blood Roar Blade in his right hand! He had switched from a single blade to two, employing a strategy of one for offense and one for defense!
The remnant soul witnessed a wolf beast lunging at Yang Shan, but Yang Shan held it between his upper and lower jaws with Blade Sheath.
With his right hand, he plunged the Blood Roar Blade into the wolf's left eye, the tip emerging from the back of its head.
A fatal Weak Point Attack.
The system determined that the wolf's brain had been damaged, and its health would drop by 5% every second. Until it died, the wolf's behavior would only be based on muscle memory.
Before Yang Shan could catch his breath after withdrawing his sword, two more wolves pounced from his left and right sides.
Seeing that the two wolves were pouncing at different heights, Yang Shan tiptoed on one foot and swayed sideways.
The Blade Sheath slashed downwards, striking the wolf-like beast's waist.
Blood Roar pierced the mouth of the wolf beast above! The entire blade of Blood Roar didn't even enter the mouth, and the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning spread directly into the wolf beast's body.
Yang Shan didn't linger in the fight. He drew his Blood Roar Blade, pushed off the backs of the wolf beasts below, and shot out like an arrow, causing the other attacking wolves to lose their target.
The remnant soul abandoned its contempt, remaining silent as it stared at Yang Shan, who moved back and forth on the screen, constantly raising and lowering his knife.
Whenever the situation showed even the slightest risk, Yang Shan would immediately activate the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement," shifting his position and regaining his footing! The Blade Sheath could accurately parry every attack; the Blood Roar Blade, with each strike, almost always hit a vital point! The remnant soul thought, "How can this kid's swordsmanship be so fierce?"
According to Tianyao's official settings.
As a fantasy story, "Battle Through the Heavens" focuses primarily on "Dou Technique" during battles.
The performance of Dou Technique is guided by Dou Qi, thereby achieving various effects such as attack, defense, restriction, and illusion.
However, the forms of expression for all Dou Technique are relatively fixed.
Similar concepts can be found in the worldviews of "martial arts," "wuxia," and even "xianxia":
Style! Although the two words "style" and "move" are a phrase, in reality, the concepts of the two words are fundamentally different.
"Style" refers to a fixed action, while "move" is a "routine" that applies "style" in practice or even combines them! In fact, given Tian Yao Company's capabilities, it is entirely possible to design a large number of Dou Technique with "move".
But even Dou Technique like the "Emperor Seal," which is subdivided into five hand seals, is ultimately just five different "styles."
Tianyao deliberately leaves room for players to make their own moves, which is where players can freely express themselves and is also one of the core directions for players to study their skills.
Therefore, in terms of Dou Technique, there will be Dou Technique like "Tyrant Blade" that simply amplify normal attacks.
The judgment of normal attacks is the most flexible, leaving a great deal of room for players to play their part.
In his previous life, Yang Shan used the "Tyrant Blade - Mysterious Chapter" as a foundation to ruthlessly hone his swordsmanship skills.
Most players using similar Dou Technique simply swipe wildly with their swords.
What Yang Shan used was a true "movement".
Whether it's a feint or a dual-sword technique, Yang Shan's swordsmanship has only one core pursuit: exploiting weaknesses!
From a macro perspective, Tianyao's Dou Technique only provide the methods for executing moves.
However, it lacks features commonly found in traditional online games, such as "object lock-on," "auto-tracking," "absolute hit rate," and "dodge value."
Therefore, how to use moves and how to fight are skills that players need to hone themselves.
In the third round of the finals of the Alchemist Convention in version 1.2, "Fruit Cutting," Yang Shan amazed the audience with his dual-sword technique.
Many players even suspect that Yang Shan is a Wuying-level martial arts athlete.
But no one knew that after discovering that he had only managed to cut 230 out of 233 fruits, Yang Shan felt that he needed to improve his skills.
To an outsider, missing only three pieces of fruit is already an abnormal level of knife accuracy.
But in Yang Shan's view, missing three means the maximum is 230.
However, if you get all 233 right, that means there are only 233 fruits! The two concepts are completely different.
When Yang Shan has nothing to do, he will look at some martial arts moves and techniques. When playing games where he can easily dominate, he will deliberately practice his skills with a knife.
Even if the opponent is wearing Dou Qi Armor and has no weaknesses, Yang Shan will still try his best to aim his sword at a vital point.
Only by honing your knife-wielding skills into a "habit" or even an "unconscious" habit can you remain invincible in close combat!
If there's such a thing as involution among Battle Through the Heavens players, then Yang Shan must be the king of involution. He's already the best in the world, but this guy still wants to improve!
But as the saying goes: real-world effort is just effort, but effort in a game will definitely yield data feedback! Yang Shan had also figured out the clues behind this special trial.
The fact that you can only use "Tyrant Blade - Mysterious Chapter" means that combat is limited to melee.
By canceling his and the wolf's defensive Dou Technique, Yang Shan was given the opportunity to strike their weaknesses.
This is clearly a test of players' melee skills! Tian Yao Company stated back when version 2.0 was launched that although the Dou Technique levels of all main combat players are getting higher and higher, and more and more gorgeous, Battle Through the Heavens battles have never been simply about exchanging energy! So whether it's the earliest Dou Qi, or Dou Zun and Dou Sheng, melee combat will never be eliminated!
However, at that time, the vast majority of players were still immersed in powerful and wide-range Dou Technique.
Only a very small number of players have begun to intentionally hone their combat skills.
Take Xiao Aotian for example; this guy probably didn't realize he needed to hone his melee skills until version 2.0.
It's very likely that he already understood the importance of close combat when Yang Shan killed him with a single blow during the Jia Nan Academy recruitment competition.
The closer the distance, the easier it is to hit the weakness!
Especially for Warcraft.
The HP of Eighth-Rank Magical Beast is probably several million or even tens of millions.
Given the current level of amplification in Dou Technique, the troublesome issue isn't the Demon Energy protecting the body, but rather the monster's own health! The double or even triple damage amplification of melee Dou Technique becomes particularly noticeable!
Combining close and distant attacks is the best strategy to secure victory! Watching Yang Shan on the screen once again use "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" to adjust his position, his Dou Qi seemingly inexhaustible, the remnant soul had already made up its mind. "Good lad! I thought I had given him enough credit, but it turns out I underestimated him!"
With the Sea Heart Flame as a backup, Yang Shan doesn't need to worry about his Dou Qi being completely depleted by using only "Tyrant Blade - Mysterious Chapter" and "Three Thousand Thunder Movement".
These Seventh Order wolf beasts still retain the purest form of wolf melee combat.
Pounce and bite, claw strike.
It's simply a matter of more precise angles and faster attacks.
As long as he wasn't facing an overwhelming number of wolves at once, Yang Shan could handle the situation with ease.
Even Seventh Order King of Beasts with nearly two million HP would be doomed if the Blood Roar Blade pierced its vulnerable eye and went through to the back of its head! Wolf beasts kept falling to the ground, and the number of wolf beasts displayed in the trial dropped rapidly.
Yang Shan truly brought his melee skills to the extreme, achieving an absurdly fast kill rate.
I don't know how much time has passed.
The intense mental concentration had already left Yang Shan showing signs of fatigue.
The accuracy of my knife strikes has started to decline.
Fortunately, the wolf pack on the grassland is now reduced to a lone wolf.
Three Thousand Thunder Movement!
Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills!
The Blood Roar Blade brutally tore through the fur of this Seventh Order King of Beasts, its head detaching from its neck and tracing an arc in mid-air.

If he can't pass, according to the system's description, he can at most take advantage of "Tyrant Blade - Mysterious Chapter" and start from the minor level.
The previous trials came too quickly, and Yang Shan hadn't had time to see the details of "Tyrant Blade - Earth Chapter".
