The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

The morning after three days.

When Ren walked ashore again from the sea, everyone practicing swordsmanship on the beach had different expressions.

When Basque saw that Renne had been underwater for at least fifteen minutes, he couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Mad, why do you feel like you are mentally retarded compared to Renne's learning progress?"

"It's really hard to hit people on horseback!"

Several young people next to him looked at each other. They felt the same way, but they didn't say it out of respect.

They were taught by the same teacher, but Ren seemed to be an apprentice in the accelerated elite class, while they were apprentices in the ordinary class. The other party completed their month's study in one week.

No, even faster, who can bear this!

The short-haired man secretly sighed: "It seems that the other party has mastered it. It only took three days to practice the inner breathing method. It took me a full five days."

"Now, there is one more person in my group."

Currently, Renn's level of control over the internal breathing method is level 3 (14/500).

As for why the improvement speed is so fast, it is mainly due to the accelerating perception effect of tough seaweed juice and training in the sea.

But at present, it seems that it has gradually reached a bottleneck. The progress of practicing the inner breathing method has slowed down after reaching level 3.

During the past three days, Renn also saw the young men practicing swordsmanship on the island disappearing for a long time from time to time, as if they were going to the next stage of training.

But he didn't ask.

Because in his opinion, the most important thing is to concentrate on what he should do at this stage and maximize progress and efficiency.

As for the follow-up content, Master Gunther will naturally tell him.

During the past three days, he practiced the inner breathing method underwater while harvesting those tough seaweeds, and gained a lot of insights.

Ren discovered that when using a two-handed sword in the water, the accuracy of each move and every move was much higher than on land.

If your sword is swayed at an angle, it will be much more difficult to adjust it in sea water than in the air, and the speed will also be much slower.

In addition, when Ren was chopping the tough seaweed, he discovered that if he wanted to achieve the best effect with each sword, he had to observe and understand the rhythm of the tough seaweed swaying in the sea water.

This is a big test for the joint coordination of a sword user's hands, eyes, and heart.

Although Master Gunther did not teach him anything else in the past three days, relying on the two things of 'inner breathing' and 'cutting seaweed', Renne has been able to do it all day long.

Renn has a feeling that even from now on, Master Gunther will not teach him the following content.

He himself can also learn something from these two things, and greatly improve his swordsmanship level.

Looking at Renn from the perspective of others, if I use four words to describe him, he deserves the title of ‘cultivation madman’!

Except for eating and sleeping, Ren basically didn't chat and rarely rested. He was either smearing tough seaweed juice in the stone house, learning about inner breathing, or 'cutting seaweed' in the sea.

If you can overlook the sea area near the island from mid-air, you can clearly see that in the area in front of you where the tough seaweed grows concentratedly, there is already an obvious area called "area patch".

But this really can’t be blamed on Ren.

Because whenever Ren was cutting seaweed in the sea, the system kept prompting:

[You have trained in underwater giant bear swordsmanship, and your relevant understanding has improved! 】

[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience value +15]

[You have undergone internal breathing training, and your related understanding has improved! 】

[Your skill Breathing is improved, experience value +2]

It's very addictive.

In particular, the process of cutting seaweed underwater allows you to practice the 'Giant Bear Swordsmanship' and 'Inner Breathing Technique' at the same time, and the effect is far better than on land.

With Ren's current lv7 level of Giant Bear Swordsmanship, if you practice Giant Bear Swordsmanship on land, the experience value will be +5 or +6 more often, but if you cut seaweed in the sea, the experience value will almost double. More.

The efficiency is evident!

In addition, Lane also made another important discovery.

That is, when he practices the inner breathing method, he can clearly feel that the exercise of this inner breathing method faintly drives the giant bear breathing method he practices and produces some subtle changes.

It seemed that the functions of his internal organs and whole body were gradually increasing. This change became increasingly obvious as the level of internal breathing increased.

But this time, when Master Gunther, who was standing on the reef, saw Ren walking out of the sea, dragging a long bundle of 'Tough Seaweed' behind him, he still didn't blush after fifteen minutes of vigorous exercise. Without taking a breath, he knew that Renn still had some energy left.

In other words, Renne has exceeded his mission standards.

Before Renne could find him, Gunther took the initiative to walk over and said, "That's enough, Renne, you can do the third training now. Follow me."

Everyone on the shore looked at this scene with different thoughts.

Although they knew that Ren was very strong from the first day, they found that Ren's perseverance was even more amazing. He practiced almost without rest, like an iron man.

Therefore, they can be said to have watched Renne with their own eyes in these three days, improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From the beginning, I could go into the sea and cut seaweed for seven or eight minutes, and now I can stay there for more than fifteen minutes. The progress of the internal breathing method is too obvious.

"Are you starting the third training so soon? The progress has already caught up with ours!" Arturo said in surprise.

"It's not catching up, it's about to surpass us." The young man named Doug said solemnly.

Everyone was silent!

In fact, Gunther's second training task requirement is for Renn to master the inner breathing method within three days. Converted to Renn's career panel system display, that is, the entry level of the inner breathing method reaches lv1 (1/100). Even if The standard is met.

But Renn thought that since he only had three days, he might as well improve the internal breathing method as much as possible, because he felt that the effect of this internal breathing method was very unique and would be very useful.

On the other hand, Basque took the initiative to say that the standard for judging whether you have mastered the internal breathing method is whether you can continuously chop tough seaweed underwater for fifteen minutes.

Therefore, Ren hid his clumsiness for a while and only revealed it on the third day.

With Ren's current level of control, he should be able to maintain combat status underwater for about half an hour.

Judging from the display on the system panel, Renn is no longer at level 1 (1/100), but has reached level 3 (14/500).

At level 1 of the internal breathing method, one can almost fight underwater for fifteen minutes, while at level 3, it can last up to half an hour.

Although this time does not seem to be very long, you must know that during this period of time, people are always chopping tough seaweed, such a state of high oxygen consumption during exercise, rather than quietly holding their breath in the water.

These are completely two concepts!

Soon, Ren, led by Master Gunther, came to a cliff at the northern end of the island. The place where he practiced swords before was at the southern end of the island, completely in two directions.

No wonder Renn hadn't noticed such an area before.

"Basque, give the shark skin to Ren and prepare a round tubeworm!"

"Okay, Master Gunther."

Basque took out a set of dark gray leather armor with fine scales from behind and handed it to Ren.

Ren was slightly surprised, but he took it without hesitation. The feeling in his hand was like the texture of tough cowhide soaked in oil, but it was much thicker.

The shape is also very unique, much like the diving suit from the previous life.

"This is made of the outer skin of the reef shark. It has a very good defensive effect against attacks by offshore crazy fish. After wearing it, even if you are attacked by multiple offshore crazy fish, there will be no problem in terms of safety."

Master Gunther tilted his head and explained.

Ren nodded and immediately started to put it on.

Although he has the extraordinary characteristic 'Iron Skin lv3' body protection, and he thinks that his defense power is not under the leather armor made by the reef shark, there is no need to be conspicuous at this time.

Basque on the side began to take out a long, brown worm about one meter long and as thick as a thumb from the wooden barrel he had prepared.

"This is a round tube worm, which is the favorite of offshore crazy fish. And Ren, your training mission at this stage is to kill as many offshore crazy fish as possible within one hour." Master Gunther pointed. Refers to the long brown worm, said.

"As much as possible? Master Gunther, what is your standard?" Renn thought for a while and asked.

After all, having a clear boundary or standard will be more motivating.

"Ten! If you can kill ten offshore crazy fish within an hour, you should be able to proceed to the next training." Master Gunther looked at Ren and said with a smile.

"If you find it difficult to kill offshore crazy fish at first, you can take time to practice the swordsmanship you are good at. Just like those few, you may have a different perception."

"In addition, for the first training, 'cutting seaweed,' it is best to take time to continue practicing every day. This is quite helpful for improving your internal breathing."

After a pause, Master Gunther added:

"The time limit for this training mission is one month."

After saying that, Gunther turned around and left slowly.

Gunther did not say what the unachieved result was, but in fact there was no need to say this anymore. There was no other option except to return home.

"Okay, Master Gunther." Renn nodded and agreed.

Until Gunther left, Basque looked at Ren with envy and said, "Okay! Ren, I can't tell you are progressing so fast!"

"Even Master Gunther looks at you differently."

"Oh? How did you see this? I didn't think so." Renn couldn't help but ask.

Master Gunther gave Ren the impression of a rather old-fashioned famous teacher, and it was not easy for people to feel close to him.

"You have to compare this. Master Gunther doesn't talk so much about others. He usually just leaves with a few task requirements." Basque explained.

Ren frowned slightly, he really didn't know this.

"Ren, you should be the fastest to complete the first training task, and the second fastest to complete the second training task. I wonder how long it will take you to complete the third training task?"

Basque said with a smile.

"Oh? How long did it take for the second training task to master the internal breathing method?" Renn couldn't help but ask.

"Half Day was created by Miss Claire." Basque showed an expression of admiration and remembrance.

Ren glanced at Basque, shook his head slightly, and sighed to himself, young man, you are hopeless, women will only affect the speed of your sword swing.

In addition, it seems that Claire is the ‘White Moonlight’ in Basque’s heart!

Just half a day.

If I don't hide my clumsiness, it seems to be half an hour?

Ren thought for a moment, then shook his head.

What's the point than this? Only truly learning something is the most important thing.

"Well, Ren, I'm going to start releasing round tube worms now. Pay attention to the sea surface. Soon, the crazy fish from the offshore will come, and there is a high probability that there will be more than one!"

"Their favorite food is round tube worms." Basque reminded.

Ren nodded and began to look at the sea intently, getting ready.

When Basque saw this, he immediately threw the small snake-like round tubeworm into the sea water four or five meters ahead.

As soon as the tubeworm entered the sea water, it began to struggle violently.

As if smelling the scent of the round tube worms, Renn keenly observed that several ripples were formed on the sea surface dozens of meters away.

Three or four fish of some kind, ranging in size from thirty centimeters to half a meter, were approaching the round tubeworm rapidly like high-speed torpedoes.

As these fish got closer, Lane discovered that this fish, called the offshore madfish, had a light blue body with brown round spots, a row of spines with fins on its back, and a large mouth. Densely covered with rows of sharp teeth.

When the other party saw the round tubeworm twisting its body in the water, it ferociously pounced on it.

In just a few moments, the round tube worm was torn into pieces by the opponent and eaten.

Although Renn has not yet entered the water to kill, he can judge from just a few seconds of observation on the shore that this third training task - 'Kill the offshore crazy fish' is better than the previous first training task 'Cut the seaweed'. ', the difficulty has more than doubled.

No wonder those seven or eight young people, although they arrived earlier than me, seemed to be stuck at this level.

The biggest difference compared to tough seaweed is that although tough seaweed sways unsteadily in the seawater under the influence of undercurrents, relatively speaking, it still follows a certain pattern.

The process of a stick of tough seaweed floating back and forth is like a pendulum swinging back and forth.

If one can seize the moment when the pendulum swings to the highest point before and after, and slash with a sword, it will be easier to cut off the tough seaweed.

But this offshore crazy fish is different. This fish is shaped like a shuttle, and its streamlined body allows it to swim extremely fast in the sea water.

This is equivalent to upgrading from fixed target practice to moving target practice!

Of course, you still have to kill it before you know the specific situation.

Ren was wearing shark skin, pulled out his two-handed sword, and started to enter the water.

Seeing that Ren was about to enter the water, Basque reminded him: "Ren, this fish is also called ironhead fish by our locals. The head is as hard as the iron shell. Be careful of the other party's collision and bite."

"Thank you." Ren nodded and thanked.

Renn took a deep breath, activated his internal breathing method, and began to step into the sea water.

As the whole person was submerged by the sea water, the cold sea water squeezed in from all directions.

Huh?

Ren discovered that the shark skin, which was originally slightly bloated on land, did not affect his movements in the water. It seemed that the special surface structure of the shark skin itself had the effect of reducing water resistance.

When he came to the offshore crazy fish that was still wandering around the remains of the round tube worm, Renn raised the glimmering giant sword and used 'Breaking Limit', and immediately aimed at an offshore crazy fish with a cleave!

Due to the training of 'cutting seaweed', Renn already had a preliminary understanding of how to exert force in the water.

Therefore, this sword struck the offshore mad fish firmly.

I saw a hole instantly torn open on the crazy fish offshore, and strands of dark red blood emerged from it.

At the same time, Ren's expression changed slightly!

Because the feeling of cutting into layers of thick cowhide was transmitted from the sword body to Ren's hands.

The opponent's defense is actually so strong!

In one blow, he actually failed to kill him directly.

Just when Renn thought he would alert the snake, this offshore mad fish that was suddenly attacked quickly turned around and rushed towards Renn, intending to fight back.

This is quite different from the habits of ordinary animals.

Generally speaking, after an animal is attacked instantly, it will first flee, then observe the attacker, and then judge whether it is time to fight back.

But the offshore crazy fish is indeed worthy of the name of "crazy fish". After being attacked, it immediately fights back, regardless of the strength of the attacker.

However, this also made Renn feel happy. He was originally worried that he would not kill the crazy fish in the sea with one strike of his sword, and the other party would directly escape.

Because Renn had just witnessed the speed of the crazy fish swimming in the water, which he couldn't even catch up with.

When the offshore mad fish was approaching Renn, it swung its tail fin hard and its speed suddenly increased. This made Renn's second sword miss the opponent's body.

The crazy offshore fish took the opportunity to bite Renn's body fiercely. With the protection of shark skin, Renn only felt a tearing, but did not suffer any harm.

In fact, for Renn, it would probably be fine if he was directly bitten by the crazy fish in the offshore. Because the defense of level 3 iron skin is still higher than that of shark skin, so he is not worried.

After several consecutive confrontations, Rennes almost always came back without success.

However, Renn also quickly discovered the problem. For this kind of fish that can move at high speeds in the water, the water flow caused by its high-speed movement will cause great interference to the cutting accuracy of Renn's sword.

This forced Renn to focus on the trajectory of the crazy fish swimming offshore, trying to find its flaws or patterns.

But this kind of law doesn't seem to be that easy to grasp. Renn decided to 'cheat' a little first. Studying the body structure of this offshore crazy fish might inspire him.

then.

"Juli!"

A 30% “power explosion!”

Ren's muscles swelled, and he aimed at the head of the offshore mad fish that was attacking from the front, with a direct slash from top to bottom!

"Bang!"

Unlike what Ren expected, the offshore mad fish was not chopped into two pieces. Instead, its hard skull clamped the sword and it was still struggling.

Huh?

What a hard head?

The vitality is also extremely tenacious!

Thinking of Basque's previous reminder of the nickname 'Ironhead Fish', Renne seemed to understand something.

After turning on the 'Power Burst' and killing an offshore crazy fish like a cheat, Renn carried it ashore.

"Ren, you succeeded so quickly?" Basque looked at Ren with a horrified look, raised his hand and pointed at the offshore crazy fish in Ren's hand and said.

Moreover, what makes Basque unbelievable is that the head of the offshore crazy fish, which is the hardest part of the body, was actually split open.

What the hell.

Basque didn't know what to say for a while.

While Basque was curiously exploring, Renne quickly dissected the offshore madfish.

The first is its fish scales, which are made of extremely tough material. Each fish scale is in a semi-arc shape, with both ends tightly fastened to the surface of the fish body. Then, multiple fish scales are layered on top of each other to form a fish scale armor made of metal armor. .

This is real fish scale armor!

This feature is quite similar to the scavenger fish that Renn saw in his previous life. The scavenger fish also has the same structure of scales on its body.

In addition, Renn found that most areas of the body under the fish scales had a layer of white exoskeleton, which further enhanced its defense. Among them, the density and thickness of the bones in the head area were particularly exaggerated.

This is already the superposition of double defense!

Ren estimated that if this kind of fish died on the coast, ordinary people might not be able to cut open its body even with a small knife.

Therefore, when it is jumping alive and swimming rapidly in the sea, you can imagine how difficult it is to kill it.

Of course, on the other hand, the difficulty comes from Master Gunther's training mission requirement - 'Kill him with a sword in the water', rather than using other methods.

Otherwise, with human intelligence, even ordinary people have some methods to kill crazy fish in offshore waters, such as baiting, poisoning, etc.

After dissecting the offshore crazy fish, Ren stared at the sea in the distance and fell into thought.

He had just discovered that the combat power bonus given to him by using the 'Triple State' in the water was far less than that on land.

The reason is simple, the resistance in water is hundreds of times greater than in air, and the resistance in sea water is even higher.

If Renn remembers correctly, the resistance of sea water seems to be more than 800 times that of air.

This allowed Ren's huge power to be resolved by the seawater's "softness overcoming strength" layer by layer. When it struck the offshore mad fish, its power was greatly reduced.

For a simple comparison, assuming that the 'triple state''s combat effectiveness against Renne is 100% on land, then fighting in sea water will at most increase its combat effectiveness against Renne by 20%.

As for the solution?

Renn quickly remembered what Master Gunther said before leaving - 'You can take time to practice the swordsmanship you are good at'.

At the same time, he also recalled the scene of those young people practicing sword skills on the shore.

Obviously, the key to solving the problem lies here.

So, facing the sea, on the rocks, Ren began to wave the big sword in his hand and practice the giant bear swordsmanship!

Gradually, the two completely different feelings of wielding a sword in the sea and on land began to intertwine.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Ren's mind, and insights burst out!

At this time, the system prompt also sounded
