Killing monsters with a 100% explosion rate, are you luckier than me?

Chapter 1576 Moving Forward!

Ye Chuyun felt a chill run down his spine, instantly realizing that in this space of "divine clash," his previously relied-upon magic power and physical body seemed to have been stripped away.

All he can utilize are his own mastery of supernatural skills, his understanding of laws, and his innate abilities.

This is a contest of pure combat awareness.

Faced with Wang Dadan's lightning-fast thrust, Ye Chuyun instinctively tried to activate her magic to protect herself or use her movement technique to dodge, but found that she couldn't mobilize it at all, and even moving felt much heavier than in reality.

"It all comes down to skill and reflexes now." He realized instantly.

At the critical moment, Ye Chuyun's rich combat experience came in handy.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, he changed his footing and twisted his body to the side with an extremely slight movement, narrowly allowing the sword to graz his neck.

At the same time, he pointed his fingers like knives, containing a trace of understanding of the law of metal, using his fingers as weapons to silently cut towards Wang Dadan's wrist holding the sword.

"The newcomer's reaction is pretty quick." Wang Dadan exclaimed in surprise, and with a flick of his wrist, the short sword spun like a venomous snake, parrying Ye Chuyun's hand chop.

"clang!"

Their thoughts clashed, producing a crisp sound like metal striking metal, and the two separated as soon as they touched.

Ye Chuyun was secretly surprised. Although Wang Dadan's level was only 0, his combat awareness was indeed extremely shrewd. His reaction speed and grasp of timing far exceeded his previous expectations.

This is definitely not a skill level that an ordinary soldier could possess.

It seems that those who can leave their mark in this Hall of Heroes, even the lowest-ranking "pawns," were by no means mediocre in life.

"Haha, interesting."

"Take another one of my moves!" Wang Dadan's fighting spirit intensified, and he charged forward again, a fierce and indomitable aura faintly condensing on his short sword.

Although there was no fluctuation of magical power, the impact of that thought caused Ye Chuyun's spirit to tremble slightly.

"We cannot underestimate any opponent." Ye Chuyun put away her last bit of probing intent.

His eyes narrowed, and he no longer relied solely on instinct.

"Try to empower yourself with the power of the laws."

He silently chanted in his heart, and although he could not summon the power of thunder to enhance his speed, he still managed to execute the essential steps of his movement technique, making his figure elusive and once again avoiding Wang Dadan's frontal attack.

"good chance!!"

Ye Chuyun seized the slight stiffness after Wang Dadan's sudden thrust and struck out with a palm.

This palm strike, though lacking in immense magical power, contained his understanding of space.

Wherever the palm wind passed, even the space of thought seemed to be stirred up.

Wang Dadan clearly hadn't expected Ye Chuyun's counterattack to be so swift, and hastily swung his sword to block.

"Oh!"

As their thoughts collided once more, Wang Dadan let out a muffled groan, staggering backward, the illusory image of the short sword in his hand dimming slightly.

His gaze toward Ye Chuyun was filled with astonishment: "You kid, your combat skill level is quite high."

"It also contains a trace of the true meaning of space?"

Ye Chuyun did not answer, but pressed her advantage.

He realized that in this clash of divine will, the grade of the combat skill and the artistic conception it contained were of paramount importance.

Even the smallest bit can bring a huge advantage.

He pointed his fingers like a knife and made a slashing motion.

In an instant, an overwhelming aura spread out. Although it was an invisible blade, it made Wang Dadan feel as if he were facing a monstrous wave, and his mind was completely overwhelmed by it.

"So strong?"

"Is this really a newcomer?"

Wang Dadan's pupils shrank suddenly, and a look of horror finally appeared on his face.

He mustered all his strength to hold the short sword horizontally in front of him, gathering all his fighting spirit and will to try to resist.

However, Wang Dadan's defenses were easily broken by that pure power.

The phantom of the short sword in his hand shattered completely, and he was struck as if by a heavy blow, flying backward, his figure becoming much more illusory in the air.

The confrontation has ended.

Ye Chuyun stood there, slightly out of breath.

Although it was only a clash of ideas, it consumed a great deal of mental energy.

He could feel that his understanding of the laws had deepened under the enhancement of this pure level of consciousness.

The defeated Wang Dadan's figure became blurred again, and his level changed from [0] to [-1].

He was quite magnanimous, patting his chest and revealing a complicated smile: "Goodness, I, Old Wang, didn't lose unjustly."

"Your combat awareness and skill level are nothing like those of a rookie soldier."

"Looks like a remarkable genius has fallen... uh, or maybe he hasn't fallen yet?"

Realizing he had misspoke, he quickly stopped himself and chuckled, "Never mind, I lost. This portion of the spiritual essence is yours."

As he spoke, a wisp of pure spiritual light detached from Wang Dadan's illusory form and slowly flew towards Ye Chuyun.

The spiritual light slowly merged into the body of his chess piece.

Ye Chuyun immediately felt her level information jump from [0] to [1].

At the same time, some fragmented images and insights seemed to appear in my mind.

Those were fragments of Wang Dadan's memories of struggling to survive amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, along with some combat skills and a fighting spirit that charged forward.

Although he didn't directly acquire the complete combat techniques, the absorption of this spiritual essence truly benefited him immensely, enriching his understanding of combat.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Brother Wang." Ye Chuyun cupped his hands in thanks, feeling a sense of goodwill towards this generous man.

"Hey, no need to be so polite. In this game of ten thousand spirits, victory and defeat are common occurrences for strategists." Wang Dadan's figure began to fade, about to be teleported away.

"Newcomer, keep it up! This chessboard is huge, and there are plenty of skilled players out there."

"I hope that next time I meet you, you will be a soldier or even a knight."

"I'll go wander around and see if I can find a few easy targets to pick on and make up for my lost level."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Dadan's phantom image completely disappeared and was randomly teleported to another corner of the chessboard.

Ye Chuyun stood alone on the grid point, feeling the subtle changes brought about by her level increase.

He noticed that his [Movement] stat had been refreshed and was now [4/4], a little more than when he was level 0.

"Level up, more movement points... It seems that leveling up is necessary if I want to explore wider areas and challenge stronger opponents."

He didn't linger, his gaze sweeping around.

After advancing in rank, his vision seemed to broaden considerably. The previously blurry chessboard became clearly visible, and the chess pieces hidden in the corners came into view one by one.

He quickly set his sights on a new target.

This target is located four squares away from him and is also a level 1 piece.

But unlike before, it is still a lowly pawn.

The phantom image of the chess piece looked like a majestic warrior, holding a long spear, with a heroic and imposing presence.

"continue!"

With a thought, Ye Chuyun manipulated her chess pieces to move towards a new goal.
