Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

But under the disturbance of the sharp arrows, the distance between the two had widened slightly again.

At this moment, Trevo unexpectedly stood still and started to chant a spell silently. Next second, an arrow imbued with a faint white light shot straight at Reine.

Originally, Reine planned to pull out the greatsword on his back to directly cut down the incoming arrow.

But he had a second thought and abandoned that idea, instead slightly sidestepping to dodge. The arrow grazed by Reine’s side and struck a steel shield hanging on the wall of the training room.

With a “snap!”

The steel shield was suddenly punctured with a large hole.

Seeing this power, Reine’s eyebrows raised.

He knew this was a result of some witchcraft combined with the archery skills of the opponent, creating a compounded force.

In terms of power, this arrow had already matched the level of a Peak Knight using a secret technique.

As the fight continued, Reine soon heard from the soft conversation between Vinica and Mary the name of this witchcraft technique, “Sharpness Technique.”

Arrows imbued with the witchcraft “Sharpness Technique” kept shooting toward Reine.

Though the arrows shot at him were occasionally empowered with Sharpness Technique, they were continuously deflected by Reine’s greatsword, even those enhanced arrows were split directly under his slashes.

Three minutes had passed.

Still, there was no clear winner.

This made the other members of the Fish-Dragon Squad watch the scene with eyes twinkling, thoughts varied.

However, Captain Baron’s expression revealed something different.

He could clearly see that Reine wasn’t fighting with full strength because he continuously maintained almost the same distance from Trevo, almost as if deliberately allowing Trevo to act freely.

At that moment, he suddenly spoke, “Trevo, stop now!”

Upon hearing the captain speak, Trevo immediately stopped, though he was sweating profusely and his expression somewhat puzzled looking toward Captain Baron.

After all, the battle had not yet been decided.

“Trevo, can’t you see? Baron Reine has been holding back.”

Then, the others shifted their gazes back and forth between the two. Indeed, at that moment, there was not a single drop of sweat on Reine’s forehead, but in contrast, Trevo was already drenched in sweat.

Moreover, except for getting closer at the beginning, Reine had mainly stayed near the same spot, a fact well recorded by the footprints on the ground.

This made Trevo look at Reine appreciatively and say, “Thank you, Lord Reine, for your guidance!”

Because, in his view, Reine was intentionally leaving him some dignity, but actually, Reine had his own plans.

The battle with Trevo had given Reine some insights.

His opponent was an archer whose witchcraft, whether it was enhancing movement speed via “Swift Wind” or increasing arrow power via “Sharpness Technique,” perfectly matched the role of an archer.

Simply put, the witchcraft used by him was intricately tied to his Extraordinary Battle Techniques.

But comparing to himself, aside from the witchcraft “High Temperature Stance,” which relatively combined well with his Extraordinary Battle Techniques,

other witchcraft like “Scorching Touch,” were hard to integrate with his Extraordinary Battle Techniques.

From this perspective, compared to fire-based witchcraft, perhaps metal-based witchcraft would better match his Extraordinary Battle Techniques, hence enhancing his combat ability, more fitting for his Weapon Master (Transcendent) profession.

For example, once he learned “Sharpness Technique,” he could apply it to his Glimmering Greatsword or his Finger Tiger to improve his combat capability.

Reine glanced at the system prompts:

[Your Skill Giant Bear Sword Technique has been enhanced, Experience +233]

[Your Skill Kadar Martial Arts has been enhanced, Experience +348]

[You experienced a fight, Weapon Master (Legendary) Experience +63]

(Note: The above skill experience has enjoyed a 30% boost from the exclusive talent “Basic Extraordinary Understanding.”)

… Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

[Congratulations, your Weapon Master (Legendary) Profession Level has increased!]

Since the Weapon Master (Legendary) was already close to leveling up, after this duel, it had directly increased by one level, reaching lv3 (45/500).

This also awarded Reine one attribute point and one skill point, making his remaining attribute points reach 6 and skill points change to 2.

At this time, another team member from the Fish-Dragon Squad, a young man holding a short staff, approached, smiling at Reine, saying, “Baron Reine, my name’s Nathaniel. Seeing your spectacular duel with Trevo, I would also love to exchange some insights with you.”

“Of course!” Reine immediately nodded, agreeing.

After all, once the Fish-Dragon Squad left, there wouldn’t be such good ‘exchange’ opportunities.

“However… Lord Reine, do you need to rest a bit first?” Although Nathaniel felt that Reine probably still had plenty of energy, considering he had just engaged in an intense battle for several minutes, claiming Reine had no significant exhaustion seemed unbelievable to him.

Secondly, even if he won this way, such a victory would be greatly discounted.

“There’s no need. My stamina is quite good, we can start immediately.” Reine said.

As soon as he spoke, Major Mary’s pretty face blushed slightly, and she scoffed internally.

Although she had always been busy with naval clerical work and hadn’t married yet, she was already very familiar with certain matters and some double entendre statements.

The twin-tailed girl, on the other hand, paid close attention to whether Reine could still win easily this time, especially since Nathaniel was a rather pure third-level Wizard Apprentice, whose combat style leaned more toward wizardry.
