Following Gushan, Yang Yu and his party moved to the back of the adventurer guild.
Starlight shines, waves softly lap the coast, the back of the adventurer guild is unexpectedly spacious.
All the members of [Dragon God's Might] followed along, wanting to observe the duel between Yang Yu and Gushan.
Before officially starting the duel and learning skills, Yang Yu walked over to Corola.
Corola held the roles of reconnaissance and support in [Dragon God's Might], and she also managed logistics, including control over the ships.
After a few polite remarks, Yang Yu directly got to the point and asked Corola for two ships.
After understanding the reason, Corola casually complained a bit, but at the request of Glantham, she still provided Yang Yu and the others with two ships.
Of course, there were conditions attached.
Corola did not want Yang Yu and his group to think that [Dragon God's Might] was obliged to help them, so she asked for a considerable rental fee, and if the ship was damaged, extra repair fees would be needed.
Yang Yu bluntly said that when he returns, he will blackmail... no, seek investment from Chilom, and not just two ships, but even buying ten brand new ships and giving them back won't be a problem.
Although he still had quite a bit of money on him, before leaving Reflection City, Yang Yu frantically gathered a bunch of supplies, so once he returned to the Tren Republic, he might need to pay a considerable procurement fee to the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce, hence, Yang Yu didn't mention buying the ships directly.
Rental is rental, who's afraid of whom.
After negotiating with Corola, Yang Yu returned to the beach under the starlight.
The 2.3-meter-tall Gushan was already waiting there for some time, setting up a shield as huge as himself, his smooth bald head reflecting the light cast by the adventurer guild.
Patting the shield, Gushan set his posture and said to Yang Yu:
"Once you're ready, start attacking.
I'm already prepared.
If you want to learn skills from me, I should also demonstrate the techniques for using these skills.
As for whether you can learn them, that depends on your own ability."
"Then I ask the senior Gushan from [Dragon God's Might] to go easy on me."
Before Yang Yu finished speaking, he dashed several meters forward, reaching Gushan in the blink of an eye.
A longsword appeared in Yang Yu's hand, a red light pierced into his palm, coating his sword blade with an orange glow.
As the defense specialist of [Dragon God's Might], Gushan's defense was absurdly high, Yang Yu lacked Iyas's armor-piercing attacks and couldn't unleash powerful magic like Bai Jin, so this battle was destined to be quite prolonged.
Yang Yu's strategy was to continuously use [Double-sided Slash] to shed blood, allowing his own blood volume to drop to the level where he could use [Fury Blood], then penetrate Gushan's defenses with the true damage of [Fury Blood] to cause real damage to him.
Yang Yu had no intention of truly defeating Gushan, but only with the determination to completely defeat him could Yang Yu see the level that Gushan, the senior from [Dragon God's Might], could achieve.
Gushan raised his massive shield to perform [Shield Block] for defense, Yang Yu did not choose to confront him head-on.
Several clusters of tiny footprints appeared on the beach, in the blink of an eye, Yang Yu maneuvered behind Gushan.
Focusing his gaze, Gushan couldn't help but exclaim, this speed is already far beyond most assassins he has seen.
Before the test began, Gushan had estimated how fast Yang Yu would be, but didn't expect it to be this fast.
Capturing Yang Yu's [Double-sided Slash], Gushan's expression became solemn.
To use speed to support, enduring damage with his body, then using special skills to offset the damage, such skills causing physical pain are truly used as soon as they're needed.
With a few simple movements, Gushan detected Yang Yu's proficiency as an adventurer, deciding in his heart not to hold back any further.
"[Immovable Rock]"
Facing Yang Yu's attack, Gushan did not dodge, he couldn't dodge with his speed anyway.
Most defensive warriors tend to pursue defense at the expense of speed, Gushan's tall and solid build is naturally suited for a defensive warrior, so he never particularly enhanced his speed.
As long as his eyes can keep up with Yang Yu's movements, it is fine.
Gushan has been an adventurer for over thirty years and has seen all kinds of enemies.
Facing the high-speed advance of Yang Yu, Gushan naturally has his own way of dealing with it.
A golden glowing array suddenly generated from beneath Gushan's feet, with golden ripples quickly washing over his entire body like waves cleansing a beach.
Yang Yu's sword blade delivering a strike using 10% of his maximum life scraped only a thin layer of skin off Gushan.
[Immovable Rock] is a skill that continuously provides damage reduction as long as one remains still, and the more proficient in its use, the more damage reduction can be increased.
Gushan can reduce nearly 80% of damage each time he uses this skill.
Such a powerful skill naturally has its limitations,
Upon activating [Immovable Rock], the body feels like it's embedded in ice, completely immobilized.
Fortunately, the [Immovable Rock] status can be actively canceled.
When used well, this skill instantly reduces damage by 80%.
Gushan uses it that way.
Having blocked Yang Yu's [Double-sided Slash], Gushan swiftly removed the effects of [Immovable Rock], reinforcing control over the nearby Yang Yu,
"[Quagmire]"
The sand around Gushan stirred, aggregating and adhering, in a moment, the whispering sand became a sticky mire without any warning.
Yang Yu's movement on this muddy surface slowed down a bit.
Throwing his shield to the ground to increase the contact surface with the mire, Yang Yu pulled his foot hard from the sludge and stepped onto the shield.
Yang Yu also knew about the [Quagmire] skill, its slowing effect will soon end; replaced by a binding that requires effort to break free.
As Yang Yu expected, soon the muddy ground fused into smooth land.
If Yang Yu hadn't timely pulled his foot out of the quagmire, his ankles would already be ensconced in earth now, requiring quite an effort to forcibly extricate them.
The dirt on his legs hardened as magic power receded, as Yang Yu hasn't taken out a new shield yet, Gushan swung his giant shield to perform [Shield Slam] toward him.
[Shield Slam] is a skill that uses one's defense to inflict damage. Gushan's defense exceeds seven thousand; if hit, will inflict considerable damage on Yang Yu.
Resting his sword on the shield beneath his feet, Yang Yu leapt into the air, as his feet touch Gushan's shield, he activated [Climbing], his legs slightly bent to cushion the body.
Yang Yu actually landed on Gushan's shield, shifting wherever the shield moved.
