Chapter 58: Improvement before the game (seeking follow-up reading)
"Next, William Bannings!" This time, Professor Ivan, the black-robed wizard, called out William's name.
At this time, many freshmen who were talking enthusiastically about the green-haired girl's combat power gradually calmed down and began to stare at the arena.
I saw William with a calm face, dressed in tight black leather armor, carrying two swords on his back, and walked lightly onto the ring.
Before that, apprentices with formal knight abilities, including Andrea and Davos, were all wearing full knight armor.
In theory, thick knight armor is the best equipment to deal with archers!
But since William dares to wear light armor, he must be relying on something!
Suddenly, Richard's face darkened and he became attentive.
Because in the first round, the freshmen's opponent was only a skeleton warrior.
This allowed some of the freshmen's best players to defeat each other in just a few strokes, and the relative strength was indistinguishable.
This time, it will be different after the opponent is replaced by a trio of undead. The difficulty has increased linearly, so that almost every new student will more or less expose some of their own intelligence.
"Start!" As soon as the black-robed wizard finished speaking, he saw William rushing straight towards the undead trio like a gust of wind!
Richard's pupils shrank and he said secretly, "It's so fast!"
William's charging speed was at least twice as fast as Davos, who was wearing heavy armor!
I saw a figure rushing towards the skeleton archer so fast that it almost left an afterimage. Although the skeleton warrior and the skeleton guardian struggled to block it, William easily parried or dodged it.
After a clever turn, William came to the flank of the skeleton archer. The steel sword in his right hand pierced the soul fire in his eye socket. The skeleton archer was not stupid and quickly retreated to avoid it.
But when the skeleton archer began to dodge backwards, William pulled out a silver thin sword with his left hand. As fast as thunder and as fast as lightning, he pierced the skull of the skeleton archer with one blow!
At this time, the skeleton archer discovered that it was William's other sword that killed it!
The green soul fire in the skeleton archer's eyes gradually extinguished, and the entire skeleton was scattered on the ground and gradually dissipated. It seemed that he had returned to the world of the dead!
The rest of the battle becomes garbage time!
After a while, the Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Guardians were all easily eliminated by William.
"William Bannings, passed!" Professor Ivan glanced at William, seemingly thoughtful.
"Wow! William is indeed the one who booked the chief position! He killed the troublesome undead trio just like chopping melons and vegetables!" A new student seemed to be a die-hard fan of William, so he started to book the chief position for William. .
"It's awesome, but it's not certain that we can definitely win the title! That green-haired girl Ophelia just now, I think she is not inferior to William." Another boy argued, the green-haired girl Beautiful and powerful, it is easy to win the favor of the opposite sex in this age group.
"I also think William has the best chance, but Ophelia is also very strong! At present, the strongest ones should be William and the green-haired girl, and Andrea, Davos and Richard in the same group!" A boy analyzed it logically.
"Although Richard's archery skills are very powerful, he is also easy to target. As long as his opponent is wearing heavy knight armor, his archery skills will be useless! So I think
Richard is still not as good as Andrea and Davos.
As for Richard, he probably ranks fifth at most!" A fat boy said seriously.
"."
After the second round of assessment was completed, the black-robed wizard Professor Ivan announced on the spot that there were thirty-one freshmen qualified to participate in the qualifying competition, and the qualifying competition would begin tomorrow.
At that time, the qualifying competition will still adopt the knockout system, and the two will face off after the draw!
If you lose, you will be disqualified. If you win, you will advance. Until the top four are determined, a round-robin system will be adopted.
During the competition, any potions, witchcraft props, alchemical products and contracted creatures are still not allowed.
After returning to the dormitory, Richard began to think about today's battle experience and what he saw and heard!
Richard looked through his list of combat witchcraft:
Rodrigo Meditation (11% mastery, special effect: primary energy-saving spellcasting, secret skill: secondary spiritual impact), Shadow Grasp (34% proficiency),
Dark Element Shield ( Proficiency 28%)
Bone Armor (Proficiency 47%)
Slowness (Proficiency 9%)
Skeleton Control (Proficiency 16%)
Weakness (24% entry)
Spiritual Guidance (33% entry)
Yes, the last two new additions Zero-level witchcraft has been learned by Richard for more than a month.
Although he already had experience in many other witchcrafts, without using the inspiration panel, in more than a month, he could only get started with these two zero-level witchcrafts.
Now Richard looked at the remaining 3,200 energy points. Considering that William and the green-haired girl were quite strong, it could even be said to be a bit tricky! Therefore, he plans to improve again to gain an extra bargaining chip for tomorrow's qualifying match!
At present, Richard's mental power is only 8.9. In addition to being forced to retain about 1 point of basic mental power to prevent him from fainting, Richard can also freely use 7.9 standard units of mental power.
In terms of combinations, Richard can relatively easily perform three zero-level witchcraft, such as choosing a witchcraft combination in a battle: Dark Element Shield + Slowness + Shadow Grasp.
Excluding the extra mental power required for witchcraft changes, it roughly requires 3+2+3, a total of about 8 points of mental power. But don’t forget that Richard has the optimization effect of primary energy-saving spell casting, so he only needs 7.2 A standard unit of mental power can complete the above three zero-level witchcraft releases.
If you use the witchcraft combination of Dark Element Shield + Slowness + Weakness in battle, it will be even easier. It only needs to consume 3+2+2, a total of 7 points of mental power. After optimization, it only consumes 6.3 points. Standard unit of mental power.
However, in this case, he still has 7.9-6.3 mental power left, which is still 1.6 standard units of mental power, and he has not maximized his combat power.
Richard once again looked at the newly learned spiritual guidance technique (33% entry level), which is an auxiliary zero-level witchcraft.
[Spiritual Guidance: Spiritually guiding the witchcraft cast by the caster, the mental power consumed is proportional to the degree of change and distance] Although
this is just an auxiliary zero-level witchcraft, almost every wizard apprentice slowly Everyone will learn this witchcraft. Although it consumes more mental energy, it ensures the hit rate of the witchcraft.
As for witchcraft without spiritual guidance, the hit rate will be significantly reduced when encountering enemies that dodge or move extremely fast. Therefore, generally after reaching the second-level wizard apprenticeship, apprentices will begin to learn this auxiliary witchcraft.
The first-level wizard apprentices may not necessarily learn this witchcraft, because the total amount of mental power at the first level is limited, and they have just come into contact with witchcraft, and the concept of witchcraft hit is not so clear.
If Richard hadn't spent a lot of magic stones and points on many paid courses, he would have had to wait until he was a second-level wizard apprentice to understand and take the initiative to learn this witchcraft!
Richard thought for a moment and decided to raise the level of mental guidance and weakness control first. After all, the three levels of entry, basic and proficiency consume less energy points, and the improvement is very large, which is considered to be the most cost-effective.
[It is found that the host is practicing the zero-level witchcraft spiritual guidance technique. The spiritual guidance technique is an auxiliary witchcraft. It is recommended that the host practices it together with other witchcraft. 】
Hey! Richard was greatly surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he could only conduct spiritual guidance after releasing an offensive witchcraft.
So, I silently recited the Weakness Technique in my mind.
[It was found that the host is practicing the zero-level witchcraft of weakness and spiritual guidance. Did/do you consume energy to get the inspiration to practice the above two witchcrafts? 】
Li Cha thought for a moment, dragged the slider to 1200 points, and then directly selected "Yes!"
