Chapter 568: Chapter 267: Sentimental Little Wolf Girl?
Things went exactly as expected. After Lin Mo arrived at the Falcon Adventurer Group, the guards at the entrance seemed to be expecting him. They greeted him and then led him to the Falcon Adventurer Group’s training grounds.
Grim, the leader of the Falcon Adventurer Group whom Lin Mo had met twice before, was sitting cross-legged inside.
Grim’s Profession was a Ranger. Unlike Leonard, this Profession was definitely not suited for a head-on confrontation with Lin Mo.
The Ranger Profession specialized in archery and agile movements. Although their damage output was high, their direct combat ability couldn’t compare to Warrior and Knight Class Professions.
But that was fine. Direct combat practice like yesterday would have been ideal, but Lin Mo’s main goal was to increase the Skill Level of his [Resilience] Skill. So, if a head-to-head battle wasn’t possible, just letting the other person unleash their attacks was also acceptable.
He could also raise the Skill Level of [Crystal Shield Skill] and [Frost Guardian] on the side.
This was especially true for Frost Guardian. Although he had used the Skill quite a few times since acquiring it, its Skill Level increase had been limited. It was still only Level 2.
When Grim saw Lin Mo walk in, he looked up and observed him carefully. "You’ve gotten stronger again."
Although that boy Leonard hadn’t mentioned anything about it, Grim could perceive a subtle difference just from Lin Mo’s aura.
Of course, this was just a rough judgment. Grim had no idea exactly how much stronger Lin Mo had become since their last meeting.
"Leonard told me you wanted to train. So, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Simple."
An innocent smile appeared on Lin Mo’s face. "Mr. Grim, you just need to keep shooting arrows at me. Just attack."
Grim was taken aback for a moment. "What kind of training method is this?"
"You could call it a little shortcut that works for me..."
Lin Mo didn’t explain in detail. "Anyway, Mr. Grim, just focus on dishing out damage."
"All right."
Grim nodded. He wasn’t a man of many words. Since Lin Mo had made the request, he would do as he was asked.
He picked up a practice bow and arrow from the side, drew the bowstring, and aimed at Lin Mo.
"Are you ready?"
"Anytime."
Lin Mo nodded. He didn’t use [Crystal Shield Skill] or [Frost Guardian]. He wanted to first test the effect of blocking directly with [Resilience].
Grim hesitated for a moment, then fired an arrow using fifty percent of his strength.
Lin Mo simply raised his arm to block. The arrow struck his Arm Armor, and the impact wasn’t strong enough for him to feel any pressure.
"Mr. Grim, there’s no need to hold back. Please use your full strength."
Seeing this, Grim cast aside his concerns. He nocked another arrow and this time used seventy percent of his strength.
Lin Mo once again used his Arm Armor to block the incoming arrow. The pressure he felt this time was indeed a bit greater than before, but it was still completely within his control.
"Again."
Seeing his seventy-percent-strength shot easily blocked by Lin Mo, Grim finally stopped holding back. He drew the bowstring to its limit and fired an arrow with all his might.
He was an Elite Level expert, after all. Even without using any Skills, the power of an arrow shot with his full strength was still quite terrifying.
Lin Mo blocked the arrow and took half a step back.
After all, his Knight Profession’s Level was relatively low. Despite having all sorts of Professional Attribute Amplifications, his Physique Attribute was still not that high. A full-strength strike from an Elite Level Ranger could still injure him somewhat.
However, this also meant the training would be effective.
[Resilience] Skill Level +1
"Just like that. You can start using some Skills now."
Seeing the "unsatisfied" look on Lin Mo’s face, Grim’s expression grew even more serious. Lin Mo’s strength far exceeded his imagination.
Now he could understand how Lin Mo had managed to kill a Rotting Swamp Lurker back then.
Without a doubt, the young man who had seemed so inexperienced when they first met in Silver Stream City had now completely surpassed him in strength.
So, he stopped being polite and, just as Lin Mo had said, began to use his Skills.
"Be careful! Spiral Arrow!"
This time, Lin Mo didn’t take the arrow head-on. Instead, he used his [Frost Guardian] Skill to block it.
The Spiral Arrow struck the [Frost Guardian]’s Barrier, leaving only a tiny white mark on the icy blue barrier.
"Er..."
Lin Mo scratched his head awkwardly. ’My Magic Attribute is a bit too high. If I use a Defense Class Skill like this, Grim won’t be able to break through my defense at all.’
’At this rate, the Skill Level progression for [Resilience] will be greatly reduced.’
’But if I don’t use any defensive Magic and take a Skill from an Elite Level Ranger head-on, even with the damage reduction from [Resilience], my equipment will still suffer considerable wear and tear.’
’And if I don’t wear equipment, I’ll get injured. Even though I can use Healing on myself, it will still hurt. There’s no need to go looking for that kind of pain...’
’Oh well, I’ll just go with this. The progress will be a bit slower, but it’s not like the Skill Level won’t increase at all. Besides, leveling up two Skills at once is still a small net gain overall.’
’Suffer, my friend, so that I may not.’
And so, a long and uninterrupted "training" session began.
