The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

The Norman Viscount and his wife were also on the second floor of the luxurious mansion, looking through the window at the battle between the two in the center of the training ground.

"I have always thought that Salem should be a good match for Evelin, but now it seems that Evelin seems to prefer this new Ren En."

"My dear, do you think Evelin's new friend is really so powerful that he can defeat Salem, the second son of Earl Zeman?" A well-dressed lady asked sideways.

"If what Evelin said is true, then there should be no problem for her friend to win." A middle-aged man with a neat mustache nodded.

This person is none other than Evelyn’s father, Viscount Norman.

After he learned about Renn's performance in this canonization assessment from his daughter, he became very interested in Renn.

Because he knows very well that as long as there is enough strength in this world, reputation, status and wealth will follow. These are just the icing on the cake.

Ren seemed to have thought of something, raised the dark pig-head hammer in his hand, and asked: "Your Excellency Salem, do you need to change it to a training weapon?"

"No, if it's a training weapon, it won't be able to withstand our collision. Sir Ren, let's just use the weapons we have." Salem shook his head and said.

"Okay!" Renn nodded and said nothing.

What Salem said was true, because in the competition between the other party and Evelin just now, they all used their own weapons.

After reaching the level of a peak knight, you are already very familiar with your own weapons and combat skills. Therefore, as long as it is not a competition at the level of secret skills, you can generally control them with ease.

Even when injured, the injuries were relatively minor.

Soon, Ren and Salem were at war.

"Break the limit!"

After both of them broke through the limit, their body movements and changes became extremely rapid!

Renn holds a two-handed war hammer to perform the Tokkar Hammer Technique, while Salem holds a sword and shield. This may be because his family's combat skills are biased towards sword and shield combat skills.

"Bang!"

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-dang!"

The sound of weapons clashing kept ringing!

The harsh sound shocked the servants on the side who covered their ears with pained expressions on their faces.

But after watching it for a while, Evelin’s brows wrinkled slightly.

Obviously, Rennes' performance is not too strong, but too weak!

It can be said that Renn's combat performance at this moment is completely different from his performance during the canonization assessment when he hit "Shipbreaking".

What is Ren doing?

Deliberately hiding your clumsiness? Or should we test Salem's strength first?

Or is it because Salem is his friend, so he is merciful?

At this time, the female knight next to Evelin was also quite puzzled. She turned her head and asked, "Evelin, didn't you just tell me how powerful Lord Ren is, but how do I feel about him and you now?" , Salem are basically at the same level.”

As if they heard what the female knight said, several other people on the side also expressed their opinions.

"Yes, Yanis is right."

"The strength of Mr. Ren is indeed top-notch among his peers, but Evelin and Salem are both at this level, not as exaggerated as Evelin said."

"Evelin, looking at it this way, what you just said, that Lord Ren is the first in this canonization assessment, I don't think it is that credible."

"That's right! Although I am not the opponent of Lord Renne, I can say with certainty that his strength is still inferior to Bridger Sanchez from Dorne County." Osby also agreed, his eyes There was another flash of light.

Faced with the doubts of several companions, Evelin didn't know what to say for a moment, and just quietly watched the competition between the two in the center of the field.

At this time, Renn was carefully controlling the intensity of his 'limit breaking'.

Knights who have exceeded 60% of the 'level' of physical limitations are called peak knights.

But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that those who have broken the limit to 70% are also called peak knights, but they are obviously more powerful than those who have broken the limit to 60%, while those who have broken the limit to 80% are even more powerful, but they are still called peak knights.

Therefore, although they are both peak knights, the differences are huge.

For example, Renne can feel that as his opponent, Salem, the second son of the earl, his limit breaking level is about 65%. He is indeed a peak knight, but his limit breaking level is 73%. , a difference of about 10%.

In addition, the sensitivity brought by Ren's super spirit allows him to grasp some details in high-speed mobile battles.

Therefore, Renne is not currently using his full strength, but has almost controlled the 'limit breaking' level to about 60%, so that he can have a smooth fight with Salem.

As for why not just end the battle quickly?

Of course it’s because I need to gain experience in the Tokkal Hammer Technique!

Many previous battle experiences told Renn that compared with 'intense battles that ended in a short period of time' and 'relatively intense battles that ended in a longer period of time', the system experience points reward for the latter was higher.

Of course, when fighting an opponent who is obviously not as strong as oneself, even if the battle is delayed longer, the system experience reward will be very low.

For example, the previous competition between Renne and LaGrei, senior knight VS quasi-knight, had been fought many times, but the experience points were only a few points.

Therefore, Renne cannot directly defeat Salem with a few hammers. This does not comply with the principle of maximizing the experience value.

Because he didn't know that Rennes was deliberately letting off steam, Salem, on the other hand, was becoming more and more confident as he played.

If we say that at the beginning of the battle, Salem was more cautious, and even a little restrained, but as the battle went on for about a minute, he felt that he had roughly figured out Renne's strength.

Is Renne strong?

Strong, but not as strong as Evelin said.

Is the other party giving in to me?

impossible!

Hidden trump card?

Salem observed Renn carefully for a while, and when he saw Renn's calm expression, he nodded secretly. He felt that Renn probably had a secret skill that he had not yet used.

But why isn't he?

So, after the two people collided hard with the "bang" hammer shield, they both moved away a few meters and stood still.

Salem said with high morale: "Your Excellency Renn, it feels so good to meet your opponent! Please allow me to let go and fight. I will use my extraordinary characteristics and secret skills in the subsequent battles."

"Please don't hold back."

Renn raised his eyebrows and looked at Salem, who was looking a little high-spirited.

Are you a little proud of this ‘experience NPC’?

If you didn't hold back, your life would have been long gone.

But when Ren thought about it, what was wrong with what he regarded as an 'experience NPC' who worked so hard to create as much experience for himself?

On the contrary, this attitude is worthy of praise!

No matter what, you can increase your strength in equal measure until the opponent's physical strength is exhausted.

Moreover, this is also the way to gain the most experience points.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Renn smiled and said: "Of course! Your Majesty Salem, please do so."

"Sir Ren, you have to be careful!"

"Swift!"

The next second, as Salem shouted, his speed suddenly increased by 20 to 30%, and he saw the opponent immediately dragging an afterimage, like an arrow from the string, straight towards Ren.

The extraordinary characteristics of the speed type!

good!

Renn immediately raised the level of 'limit breaking' to the full value.

Since Renn's strength, agility, and physical strength increased by 13% from 60% to 73%, even if Salem activated the extraordinary characteristic 'swiftness', the gap in agility between the two sides was not too big.

On the other hand, the high perception brought by Renn's high spirit and the control of battle details are better than that of Salem, so if the two offset each other, he can basically deal with it stably.

"Bang bang!"

"clang!!"

The weapons of the two clashed at a faster speed than before, and sparks flew everywhere! ! !

The servants couldn't bear it anymore and fled away.

Salem's almost full strength made several young people watching on the sidelines couldn't help but get excited.

“Salem is getting serious!”

"It's long past time to show this outsider the strength of our young people in Rosby City."

"Well, Count Zeman's family's secret skill 'Phantom Blow' should appear soon!" Osby also looked at the center of the field expectantly.

But Evelin was full of doubts. Could this be Ren's true strength?

impossible!

Even if Renn doesn't use the ability of the wizard's apprentice, he shouldn't use his current strength.

Viscount Norman, who was upstairs, also frowned slightly.

Huh?

This is still different from what my daughter said.

Now it seems that Ren's strength is about the same as Salem's.

At this time, the fighting pattern of the two people in the center of the field suddenly changed!

Suddenly, Ren's pupils shrank suddenly.

Because, he suddenly found that the knight's long sword in Salem's right hand on the opposite side first retracted back, and then thrust forward extremely quickly at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Because the speed of this blow was so fast that the opponent's elbow joint still stayed in place, but the real attack had already arrived in front of him.

It seems that every young man who can get an excellent evaluation in the canonization assessment has one or two killer tricks.

At this time, it was too late to stop him by swinging the heavy pig-headed hammer.

However, this is not difficult to solve for Ren, who has not yet used the two extraordinary characteristics.

Renn suddenly let go of the pig-headed hammer, and instead grabbed Salem's knight's sword with his bare hands.

This scene shocked everyone instantly!

Don’t you even need your hands?

At the same time, Ren's body size skyrocketed, his muscles became tangled, and he looked like a giant beast.

But no matter how strong the muscles are, the defense of the physical body cannot withstand the attack of a peak knight holding a weapon! What everyone thinks.

"Hey!!!"

A burst of sparks flew!

Salem's knight's sword was suddenly stopped by Ren's hands.

"Have you really been arrested?" The female knight on the side muttered, covering her mouth.

Several people around him looked at each other for a while. This was the first time they saw Salem's secret skill 'Phantom Blow' being broken by an opponent.

He was actually good at grabbing the knight's sword to perform the 'Phantom Strike'.

Oh my God!

"I don't believe that Ren's hand is safe. I'm afraid it should be broken and just held on!" Osby couldn't help but blurt out.

"Bang!" Ren's chrome gloves broke and fell to the ground.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ren's hand.

In perfect condition!

Not a trace of blood.

Perhaps, there is such a white seal.

"How is this possible!" Osby pointed at this scene with a look of disbelief!

Several other people were also stunned!

Evelin nodded slightly.

This is right!

This is in line with his impression of the strength he should have.

And Renn pushed hard, forcing Salem's knight's sword away, and said:

"Nice secret skill, Lord Salem, please continue!"

Salem, who had repeatedly used 'Breaking Limits', the extraordinary characteristic of agility, and the last trick of 'Phantom Blow', was already sweating profusely and his physical strength was on the verge of exhaustion.

Originally, he planned to seal the victory with this attack, but unexpectedly, it was broken by Ren in a way that he never expected.

"Um?"

Hearing Ren's words, Salem couldn't help but blush, so he mustered up his last remaining strength and started fighting again.

But this time, Salem was even more unbearable. In less than ten seconds, his steps were messy due to excessive physical exertion.

This made Renn shake his head slightly.

Now that the 'experience NPC' in front of me has done his best, it's time to end!

However, out of respect for Salem's "hard work", Renn planned to use the "earth cracker" move to end the battle.

I saw that Ren's body further skyrocketed, exceeding two meters and two. A set of chrome knight's suit hung on Ren's body like a baby's clothes. This was the release of the 'power burst' and turned into a 'triple state' Renn in state!

At this moment, Evelin's pupils on the side shrank!

correct!

This is the form!

This was the form that Renne was in when he destroyed the 'Shipwreck' that night!

"Ren, don't kill me!" Evelin shouted from the side.

She wanted to come to the rescue, but it was too late!

Viscount Norman, who was on the second floor of the mansion, also changed his expression, but he was too far away from the training ground at this moment. Even if he wanted to rescue, he was unable to do anything!

So, among the horrified eyes of everyone, the behemoth-like Ren was seen, waving the heavy hammer with dark hands in his hands, from top to bottom, with a scream that tore the air, and struck Salem like lightning. !

Salem closed his eyes and said, "I'm done!"

"boom!"

But the next second, Renn turned the pig-headed hammer slightly to one side and hit the ground in front of Salem heavily.

I saw dust on the ground within a range of seven or eight meters. After a few seconds, as the smoke and dust dissipated, a crater like a meteorite bombardment appeared in the center of the training ground. The deepest point at the center reached more than one meter, forming a fan-shaped area toward The shock spread ahead.

It wasn't until four or five meters later that there were no obvious ups and downs on the ground.

Salem, the second son of the earl, who had high morale and thought he could defeat Renne, was knocked high into the air and spit out a large mouthful of blood.

This was the result of Renn deliberately avoiding hitting people and hitting their soles.

"Bang!"

Salem fell heavily to the ground, but quickly struggled to get up, with an expression of fear and fear on his face.

At that moment, he really smelled the breath of death!

If Renn's hammer had been delivered half a meter forward, he would have been dead!

Being hit by Ren's dark heavy hammer just now, there is a high probability that there is no option to break the tendons and fractures. Basically, the only way to go is to return to the embrace of the goddess.

At this time, the few second-generation nobles who were watching on the side reacted, quickly stepped forward, helped Salem up with all their hands, and quickly checked the injury.

But soon, they discovered that Salem had no obvious injuries on his body, indicating that the blood vomiting just now was just due to the aftermath of the shock.

Although the injury was not minor, it was nothing serious after all.

In addition, the eyesight of the second generation nobles is not weak. Of course they can see that Renn stopped his hand this time and did not hit Salem with the blow just now.

Therefore, the eyes of several of them looking at Ren at this moment were full of awe and admiration.

Only then did the female knight close her open mouth and said to Evelin on the side: "Evelin, I take back what I just said. How could such a solid training ground be smashed into this state? Wren is simply not normal."

At this time, Evelin was also looking at the ground of her training ground in confusion!

If Ren had broken through the thick hull of the Shipwreck last time, she could not quite relate to it. After all, she had never hit the hull before.

But she knows very well how solid the ground of her training ground is. You know, she has been training here since she was a child.

The hardness of the soil that has been compacted repeatedly at his own training ground is almost as hard as ordinary rocks.

But under Ren's blow, it became like this!

On Rennes side, the system prompt has appeared:

[Your skill Tokkal Hammer has been improved, and the experience value is +178]

[You have experienced a battle, knight (extraordinary) experience value +69]

After this competition with Salem, Renn successfully upgraded Tokkar's Hammer Technique from lv4 (843/1000) to lv5 (21/2000).

At this time, Renn was comprehending the new and fragmented training memory of Tokkal Hammer Technique that appeared in his mind.

These memory fragments are scattered fragments of hammer training, as if they were all training times that Ren had personally experienced. At this moment, they are being rapidly digested and absorbed by him and integrated into his own muscle memory.

Soon, Renn felt as if he had gained two years of experience in practicing the Tokkar Hammer Technique.

At this time, some details of the hammer technique that he had ignored before were gradually becoming clear in his mind.

At this time, Salem, who was being helped by someone, looked at Renn and said seriously: "Thank you, Mr. Renn, for keeping your hand!"

Ren came back to his senses and looked at Salem, the second son of the earl, in front of him, and saw that his face was pale, and he looked like he was defeated in a cockfight.

Renn quite agrees with this 'experienced NPC' who does his best and does his duty.

Because the opponent just tried his best to compete with me, providing him with a lot of experience points, helping him to improve his hammering skills to level 5.

In addition, the other party can also be grateful for his mercy, which shows that he is at least a person who knows how to advance and retreat.

In this regard, Renn will naturally not be stingy with verbal encouragement.

"Well, I'm sorry, Lord Salem, your strength is very good, so I just had a whim and couldn't hold back." Ren said slightly apologetically.

After Salem heard Ren's praise and recognition of him, his originally disappointed face suddenly turned red, and he said excitedly: "It is an honor for me to compete with Mr. Ren. I hope to have the opportunity in the future. I can ask you again.”

Sure enough, when one's own strength is much higher than that of the other party, the other party can no longer entertain the idea of ​​competing.

Moreover, young people need to be affirmed by their elders or 'strong men' like Renn.

For a moment, an idea came to Renn's mind.

Maybe you can consider making more friends with some good young people, and then encourage them to compete with you.

After all, being young and passionate means it is easier to motivate!

But Renn glanced at the young second-generation people next to Salem, and suddenly shook his head slightly in his heart.

You still have to screen them out, and forget about those who are too weak.

At this time, the Norman Viscount and his wife walked down from the second floor of the mansion and came to the training ground.

——

The county town of Meister.

Inside the bat market.

A tall customer wearing a black robe stood at a shop with a star, moon and sun sign hanging at the door.

This man is Dennis's father, Baron Norman.

After nearly ten days, he still did not receive a reply from his old friend Adams. Baron Norman also felt something was wrong, so he came to Adams' shop specially.

But when he went there, he was surprised to find that the store had already been sealed!

This immediately put a layer of gloom in his heart!

"Isn't it possible that Adams made a mistake?"

"This is impossible!"

"Could it be that something happened in the middle, and other experts or forces intervened?"

Baron Norman frowned and thought hard.

At the same time, in a luxurious study room in Earl Harris's mansion.

A bearded man wearing a black aristocratic dress with gold trim was looking at an official letter in front of him with a gloomy expression, muttering to himself:

"What the hell, how is this possible!"

"This kid Ren actually passed the canonization assessment. He actually got an excellent evaluation and was awarded the title of Baron. His talent is even more terrifying than Claire's!"

"Ren became a baron. He actually became a baron!"

"In comparison, all my years of hard work are almost a joke!"

Yesterday, Lamar from the Black Flame Church came to discuss with him what to do if Renn passed the canonization assessment?

According to the opinions of the officiant conveyed by Maral, once Renne passes the examination, he will be transferred to Fishing Port Town as the Sheriff.

At that time, he also stated that whether Renne was awarded a knighthood or a knighthood, he could do it.

But I didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly. Now that Renne is awarded the title of Baron, he will no longer have the final say in this transfer.

His father, Earl Harris, would inevitably summon Renn in person.

All the arrangements he had made with the Black Flame Church were completely null and void!

Damn it!

The key is that this Renne has grown so fast, it can be said that it has exceeded everyone's expectations!

This can't go on like this!

Alonso's expression became increasingly gloomy, and he made a vague decision in his heart.

"Michelle! Arrange the carriage, I want to go out."
