Chapter 1029 Combat Skill


    With the recent mention by Shena about improving her swordsmanship proficiency, both Emery and Klea agreed to work this matter together. They then made their way to the Hyperion center, wanting to use the training facility there. In the meantime, the female magus was still following them.


    The three of them entered a particr room that had many arena-like fields with wooden puppets standing in the center. Those were the objectives of Emery and Klea arriving here.


    [Combat Puppet]


    These wooden puppets were the result of the entire Magus Alliance''s ingenuity in passing down weaponbat skills. They were just like the ones avable in the Combat Institute''s training ground and Lord Izta''s castle.


    However, the ones that were present in this Hyperion facility were all the ck ones – the advancedbat puppets that could be used as training and sparring partners all the way until level 9.


    The main reason they came here was for Klea to improve her proficiency in swordsmanship, she has been training with the puppet on staff weapon before, now she has to learn sword form level one. Hence without further ado the girl chose the sword and stood opposite of the wooden puppet.


    Of course, Emery did not juste to apany and watch her training. He was itching to once again challenge the wooden puppet, and finding out where his strength stood at the moment.


    He walked to the arena next to the one Klea chose and essed the panel on the side.


    This time, instead of choosing a sword like he usually did, Emery scrolled past the option and went on a search for one particr weapon category listed in the list.


    [Choose your weapon]


    "Hand to hand"


    [Choose the type of hand-to-hand]


    [Fist, Leg]


    Emery''s eyes quickly swept across the panel as he nced at every skill visible on the panel. Surprisingly, there were many different types of weapons that fist could use, while the legs involve different kinds of boots.


    Amongst the weapons the fist could use, there were a few options; gloves, knuckles, ws, bracers, gauntlets. Emery picked the ws and chose the one most simr to his own ws, one with long des.


    "I choose Fist."


    [Combat puppet level one [Fist] level one is ready, Enter the Arena]


    Knowing that these puppets would adapt to his strength, in order to ensure maximum training efficiency, Emery took out everything he had. [Immortal Gate], [Night Transformation], [Battle Howl]; all three activated in session before finally Emery''s [de w] made its appearance.


    The moment he took one step forward, the countdown started to move.


    [3…]


    Thebat puppet began moving, transitioning into a fighting stance.


    [2…]


    Long des just like what Emery had came out of its wooden knuckle.


    [1…]


    Being so excited, Emery couldn''t hold himself back. His figure shot towards the puppet at breakneck speed, swinging his ws with all the strength he could muster. The air seemed to be ripped apart as the sharp tip of the ws approached the puppet rapidly.


    Sishhhh—


    Unfortunately for Emery, thebat puppet wouldn''t just let the attacknd so easily. It swiftly swung its w hand as well, and the two ws swiftly shed against each other.


    CLANK– CRAAACCCKKKK!!


    Much to Emery''s surprise, the ws of the wooden puppet shattered apart when it came into contact with his, and still retaining much force, his ws advanced further and prated through the puppet.


    One blow, and the fight was over with broken parts of thebat puppet scattered on the arena.


    Seeing this spectacle, Magus Shenaughed boisterously. "Hahaha, you are simply too strong for those puppets. Remember that this is about improving your techniques, not overwhelming with strength."


    Emery was a little embarrassed hearing the other party''s words. If he didn''t remember wrong, it was mentioned that Terra Castle could only afford three ck puppets as training tools for the whole army because each of these puppets were very expensive.


    Turning his eyes to the broken remains scattered on the ground, Emery could only hope that the alliance wouldn''t charge him.


    In the end, Emery left the arena where the broken puppet was and walked to another arena. After selecting the weapon and skills the puppet would use, this time Emery only used [Fey Transformation].


    With that, this time the ck puppet wasn''t destroyed in one exchange. It managed to match Emery''s strength, and the two quickly began to engage in a fight with each other.


    The techniques and movements the level onebat puppet disyed was pretty basic, hence Emery could defeat it easily without breaking a sweat.


    [Combat puppet level one has been defeated]


    Emery waited for the reward toe. However, because he had already received the battle power reward from the sword, this time Emery received no increase to his battle power and only obtained the skill reward.


    [Received w technique level 1.]


    Emery used the level 1 w technique he had just learnt to defeat the level twobat puppet. It then rewarded him with a level 2 w technique, which he used to defeat the next levelbat puppet. The same sequence basically repeated.


    [Combat puppet level 4 has been defeated]


    Emery was quite surprised when he defeated the level fivebat puppet. He didn''t expect that he could go as far as level six in his first attempt. Thanks to the battles with thebat puppet earlier, by this time Emery had learned w techniques from basic to advanced.


    As for the fight with the level sixbat puppet, Emery''s progress wasn''t as smooth as his previous one. It took him several hours of continuous loss before he finally grasped the level 5 w technique and emerged victorious.


    [Combat puppet level 5 has been defeated]


    [Received w technique level 5.]


    At this point, Having so much hard time fighting level 5, Emery knew that he needed to train and have proper understanding of the level 5 w technique before attempting to fight thebat puppet level 6. Therefore he decided to take a break and see how Klea progressed with her swordsmanship training.


    When he arrived at the arena where she was, Emery saw that the girl had passed the level sixbat puppet. However, the girl''s natural talent apparently lost its potency at level 7, and at this point she needed to work hard in order to pass through.


    Seeing the intense sword fight, Emery threw away his thoughts to rest. He essed the panel once again, and this time he chose the sword option. The eyes of thebat puppet quickly lit up, and this time he was faced with the strongest level the ck puppet could offer.


    [Combat puppet level nine [Sword] level nine is ready, Enter the Arena]


    Emery was excited by the prospect of fighting such an opponent. Returning to his human form, he took out his Savage Sword before stepping into the arena.


    "Let''s start!"
