Chapter 113 Performance
Wang Lu was actually quite doubtful about Zhou Wenâs ability to help her break the record. Although he had a pair of Legendary wings and powerful movement techniques, that level of movement and speed was definitely capable of dodging Feng Qiuyanâs saber.
The saber speed which Swift Saber Heavenly King Life Providence brought about made Feng Qiuyanâs strikes far exceed the speed of peers at his level. Furthermore, Zhou Wen hadnât advanced to the Legendary stage-he was one level lower than Feng Qiuyan.
Compared to someone who had the Life Providence of Swift Saber Heavenly King, even Wang Lu did not have the confidence to beat him in speed.
âHow are you going to help me? Although the homework mission permits a four-person team to complete it, I do not plan on joining forces with others. If thatâs the case, defeating Feng Qiuyan would be meaningless,â Wang Lu said to Zhou Wen as they walked.
âWhen you encounter a Fairy Monkey later, Iâll first demonstrate it to you. All you need to do is remember my steps. With your strength, you will be able to kill Fairy Monkeys in less than twenty seconds.â Having been in charge of filming Wang Luâs combat, he had a good idea of her strength. It was also why he dared to help Wang Lu break the record.
âYouâll be demonstrating?â Wang Lu sized up Zhou Wen and asked.
âWe have no choice. You only have one chance left, and Iâm afraid you wonât be able to grasp the crux by just verbally explaining it to you,â Zhou Wen said honestly.
His method of slaying Fairy Monkeys was from the experience he had gained from killing countless whilst in-game. Every step had been calculated to extreme precision. He could not afford any mistakes if he wanted to kill one in the shortest time possible.
If Zhou Wen were to do it himself, it wouldnât be a problem even if he made a mistake. However, Wang Lu didnât have that much experience fighting Fairy Monkeys. She only had the theory from the collegeâs information and videos.
In fact, the information provided by the school wasnât as logical or pragmatic as Zhou Wenâs designed plans. After all, there were too few Fairy Monkeys and no one had the chance of killing many, so it was naturally impossible for them to have a deep understanding of them.
After traveling through several caves, they finally found a Fairy Monkey. Just as Zhou Wen was about to charge forward, Wang Lu suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly said, âBy the way, after the Lotus Flower Cave is sealed by the college, students are not to hunt Fairy Monkeys without permission. Our class was given the homework mission, and we can only kill two. You arenât a student of our class, so you didnât receive the homework mission that allows you to kill a Fairy Monkey.â
âI know, so I have no plans to kill it.â Zhou Wen didnât stop as he charged at the Fairy Monkey.
This time, Wang Lu became the videographer. She aimed the camera at Zhou Wen, curious to see how he could kill the Fairy Monkey faster than the Feng Qiuyan.
Wang Lu was still a little apprehensive. Zhou Wen had Primordial Energy Skills that she definitely knew couldnât be identical to hers. If he used some special skill which she lacked, then even if Zhou Wenâs method was much faster than Feng Qiuyanâs, she would be unable to use his method.
However, Wang Lu quickly realized that her worries were completely unfounded. This was because Zhou Wen hadnât used any Primordial Energy Skill or Companion Beast. All he did was rush towards the Fairy Monkey.
If it were anyone else, Wang Lu would have believed that he had a death wish, but she knew Zhou Wenâs strength and character quite well. It was impossible for him to do something so foolish.
She adjusted the camera to ensure that she could record Zhou Wenâs every move, while her gaze never left him.
The Fairy Monkey bared its teeth as it charged down. Its pair of wings made it abnormally agile, swooping down like a bird of prey while its claws swiped at Zhou Wenâs head with a sharp beam.
The Fairy Monkey was much faster than Zhou Wen, but he seemed to have expected it. He slightly tilted his body to dodge the claw beam as he clung close to the Fairy Monkeyâs left.
The Fairy Monkeyâs wings flapped as his body warped. Its claws once again thrust out at Zhou Wenâs heart with a sharp claw beam.
This time, the Fairy Monkey was closer to Zhou Wen, and its claw beam was even faster and sharper. However, Zhou Wenâs body moved slightly to the side again, dodging the attack in what seemed like an impossibility.
Wang Lu stood to the side and watched. Zhou Wen didnât use any Primordial Energy Skills, not even anything related to movement techniques. With his absolute Speed deficiency, he leisurely managed to dodge all the Fairy Monkeyâs mighty attacks.
Zhou Wen gave Wang Lu an odd feeling. It was as though he was the stronger party-not the Fairy Monkey who was at the Legendary stage.
Zhou Wenâs every move was calm and composed, but he had the feeling of clairvoyance, emitting a pressure as though the Fairy Monkey was dancing in his palm.
It may have felt slow, but in fact, it all happened very quickly. In just ten seconds. Zhou Wen had nimbly moved to the Fairy Monkeyâs back and easily struck the back of its skull.
Pa!
It looked like it didnât use much strength, but the Fairy Monkey appeared to be struck by lightning as it fell from the sky. It fell to the ground and twitched, unable to get up immediately.
Wang Luâs eyes widened when she saw this. A Mortal-stage fellow had only relied on his Strength and Speed. Without the help of his Primordial Energy Skills and Companion Beasts, he had knocked out a Legendary-stage Fairy Monkey.
More importantly, slightly more than 10 seconds had passed, without even exceeding 11. Wang Lu was afraid that none of her classmates would believe her if she told them.
âHow did you do it?â Wang Lu asked as she glared at Zhou Wen who was walking back.
âYou can do the same if you observe and study more.â Zhou Wen pointed at the Fairy Monkey on the ground who still couldnât get to its feet due to its stupor. âItâs a little groggy from the strike. It will quickly regain consciousness, so letâs leave now. Find a spot and watch my demonstration video a few times. Remember my positioning and the timing of my attacks. It probably wouldnât be difficult to squeeze it within 20 seconds. Also, the spot I struck should be precisely where you hit during your final strike. It will result in a death blow; otherwise, it will be a waste of time.â
Wang Lu and Zhou Wen came to an empty stone cave before the former carefully watched Zhou Wenâs video.
âHow did you figure out such positioning and the Fairy Monkeyâs weakness?â Wang Lu found it inconceivable the more she looked at it. Even the collegeâs strategies were not as simple and effective as Zhou Wenâs.
âI carefully watched the videos I recorded for you the other day. I studied them for a long time before I could achieve such results. Selling it to you for 150,000 isnât expensive, right?â Zhou Wen asked.
âNot at all.â Wang Lu nodded with affirmation.
Such experience could not be measured with money. If they were in a real battlefield, it could save oneâs life.
Wang Lu practiced Zhou Wenâs positioning for more than half an hour before mastering the crux. Her talent in martial arts wasnât to be underestimated, allowing her to live up to being a special admissions student.
Then, Wang Lu found the Fairy Monkey again and killed it according to Zhou Wenâs method. The process was rather relaxing. Although the positioning was a little rough, she obtained good results in 17 seconds. It was probably a little faster than Feng Qiuyan.
Although the record had been broken, Wang Lu wasnât happy. Others might not know, but she knew very well that Zhou Wen had a more ridiculous result. It was just that his results would not appear in the schoolâs record.
