"Is this what talent and potential are?"
This is truly a case of using a small knife to pull out a big rip-off... I've never seen anything like it!
When Zheng Guandong saw Xiao Shenke snap his fingers and conjure a purplish-black light blast that blasted a seabird twenty meters away into dust, this scene, which only appeared in special effects blockbusters, deeply excited him!
The flame in Zheng Guandong's heart, long extinguished by the corrupting influence of society, was reignited by Xiao Shenke's wildly cool and awe-inspiring performance!
Suddenly pulled into Infinite Space by the Main God, Zheng Guandong, who was filled with fear and anxiety in this unfamiliar and dangerous environment, suddenly stopped being afraid and anxious. Instead, he had hope and something to look forward to, because he had found his goal!
This is the long-buried desire in my heart, the childhood dream of becoming an invincible swordsman who could sever the past with a single stroke and pave the way forward, just like Fu Hongxue and Ding Peng in Gu Long's novels, using the sword in my hand to settle grudges and affections, and also to cut off the shackles of fate, opening up a future path that belongs to me!
He has to survive to complete this story world!
He wants to return to the God Hall that the elders spoke of!
He wants to obtain the superpowers he desires from the omnipotent Main God described by that senior!
Seeing the sudden burst of fierce fighting spirit in Zheng Guandong's numb and indifferent eyes, Xiao Shenke nodded silently, knowing that another person had fallen into the trap!
Although Xiao Shenke is the second youngest member of the Zhongzhou Team, his life experience is quite complex. Unlike Wang Zhen, who, despite not suffering a mental breakdown and moral decay due to the protection of his cheat system, has already developed some psychological distortion, and unlike Wu Liuyi, who was born with his Gene Lock unlocked and has been eroded by violent emotions since childhood, Xiao Shenke is also different. He also suffered the tragedy of being studied in a mental hospital, but his strong mental fortitude allowed him to leverage his advantages, resulting in a better living environment than Wang Zhen and Wu Liuyi. Therefore, although he was in a mental hospital, he gained a lot of adult life experience through his strong mental fortitude. This is why he acted very skillfully and maturely after entering the Infinite Space. Coupled with his quick wit, he managed to recruit Wang Dashan and Nie Quanzhen to form a small group when he was at his weakest, and firmly clung to Wang Zhen, thus laying the foundation for the trio's current strength.
Although Xiao Shenke was younger than Zheng Guandong, he had a better grasp of Zheng Guandong's mindset, especially since Zheng Guandong was indeed talented, just as Wang Zhen had said. This made Xiao Shenke even more attentive. Having been studied in a mental hospital since childhood, he knew very well that even a piece of toilet paper or a pair of underwear could be useful. That's why he rarely broke ties with people. Since Zheng Guandong was talented, even though he had been recruited into Zheng Zha 'Zheng Guandong, breaking things down and explaining them to him in detail. He even personally demonstrated a " Shadow Bolt " to reinforce the superpower. Naturally, the reason was that having more friends meant having more options. Boss Wang Zhen believed in relying on oneself because he was the strongest and didn't need anyone else's help. But Xiao Shenke didn't have that ability, so he still needed to make friends, just in case he fell into trouble someday.
What were Zheng Guandong's talents?
No one knew before, but now, as the temporary coach, Xiao Shenke understands it.
Blade and Sword Mastery!
This is the answer Xiao Shenke gave based on the game's settings.
Because Xiao Shenke didn't want to resort to the trick of disguising himself as a magic user under the guise of Knight, what he taught Zheng Guandong was naturally the swordsmanship of the Komodo Giant Serpent Knight! As he himself said, Cormac Giant Serpent Bloodline Warlock, whose bloodline comes from the mythical Komodo Giant Serpent, possess considerable physical strength. Therefore, the Knight branch was created to alleviate the survival pressure brought about by the shortcomings of low-level warlocks, such as fewer spells, weaker spells, and easier death!
In other words, Xiao Shenke's Knight swordsmanship was very mediocre. If one had to point out any advantages, they would be that it was simple and easy to learn, but that was about it.
Of course, even if Knight's swordsmanship is simple and easy to learn, it still involves how to gather the power of the whole body and exert the greatest power with the least amount of consumption. The so-called simple and easy to learn refers to the sorcerer who has the bloodline of the Komoine Giant Serpent, is strong, powerful, flexible and agile, and mentally strong, rather than an ordinary person.
However, Zheng Guandong, the Butcher had only received a pig-slaughtering knife, a boning knife, and a meat-cutting knife before, took the Knight's sword that Xiao Shenke Xiao Shenke the swordsmanship. He casually swung it a few times to familiarize himself with the Knight, and then stumbled and tried to imitate the swordsmanship that Xiao Shenke had demonstrated!
That's right!
After watching Xiao Shenke demonstrate the Knight Sword Technique in slow motion once, he was able to stumble through the entire technique from beginning to end!
According to Zheng Guandong, he felt that the Knight's sword in his hand was alright and not unfamiliar, just like a brand new meat cleaver he had just bought. It was indeed a little different from the meat cleaver he usually used, but it did not affect its use. Xiao Shenke's demonstration of the Knight's sword technique was also very simple; he could use it after watching it once, but he was not very familiar with it and needed to practice more.
Xiao Shenke was completely numb!
This is just like the description of naturally born swordsmen and knife-wielders in novels. Swords and knives are like natural-born familiarity in their hands. There is no process of discomfort to proficiency that ordinary people go through when they get their hands on swords and knives. They can use various sword and knife techniques after watching others practice them once.
Just like Ding Peng, what is extremely difficult for others, the "Ruyi Heavenly Demon, Eight-Style Chain", is as simple as eating and drinking for Ding Peng. Not only did he master this set of demonic sword techniques in a very short time, but he even took it to the next level and pushed it to its peak.
A myriad of blades converge into one, Divine Saber Slash in two with a single strike.
In the end, Ding Peng even abandoned the "Listening to Spring Rain All Night in a Small Building" magic sword that came with this magic sword technique, and could use any wooden sword carved from wood to perform the Divine Saber Slash!
To say he was born a swordsman is absolutely true.
Zheng Guandong certainly couldn't reach the level of Ding Peng's extraordinary talent, but he was definitely someone with a talent for Blade and Sword Mastery. Weapons like Knight's swords are not easy to use unless you have practiced them, but Zheng Guandong could use them to perform swordsmanship as soon as he picked them up, which was quite remarkable.
Xiao Shenke believed that Zheng Guandong's talent Blade and Sword Mastery. This was because he later took out other sizes and styles of swords and knives and let Zheng Guandong try them out. As a result, Zheng Guandong could use each sword and knife in a similar manner after only a few swings.
This greatly increased Xiao Shenke's confidence in Zheng Guandong. After all, even he couldn't be sure whether Zheng Guandong could survive in the story world or return to the God Hall alive! After all, the background of the < Pirates of the Caribbean > world is like the ocean; no one can say how deep the ocean is or what monsters and demons lurk at the bottom.
Especially now that Xiao Shenke has experienced several story worlds and team battles, he has a certain understanding of the nature of Infinite Space and the Main God.
Each team under the command of Main God actually travels along a wavy curve. As for the destination, no one knows whether it is transcendence into godhood or a bottomless abyss.
According to the snippets of information revealed by Wang Zhen, Zheng Zha, and Zhang Jie, the Zhongzhou Team Zhongzhou Team precisely when they were rebuilding. This was akin to moving from a trough to a peak, a period with very low difficulty levels in the story world and missions. Consequently, the three of them gained a large number of side quests and reward points; Wang Zhen and Zheng Zha were the beneficiaries. Similarly, Xiao Shenke and his two companions also benefited, but to a lesser extent. If Wang Zhen and Zheng Zha were considered the top prize winners, then Xiao Shenke and his group were second-place winners.
Therefore, although Xiao Shenke and his two companions didn't join the Zhongzhou Team when it began its reconstruction, they were still early members. The story worlds and missions were relatively easy, yet the rewards were quite generous, which they also benefited from. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to defeat their enemies in later team battles and continue to receive substantial rewards. It was precisely because they benefited from the Zhongzhou Team's reconstruction—even if it wasn't the main course, it was certainly a side dish or dessert—that they were able to grow stronger alongside Wang Zhen and create new glories.
Although Zheng Guandong's talent is rather unconventional and his level is not particularly high, even the timing of being pulled into the Infinite Space by the Main God was not good. According to Xiao Shenke's private speculation, the team battle is the graduation exam for novices in the Infinite Space. If they survive the team battle, they will no longer be novices. This also means that the Zhongzhou Team's reconstruction is over, and there will be no more low-difficulty, high-reward bonuses in the future.
