Chapter 1275 - 626: Source of Battle Skill

After all, it had been more than a year since their last meeting, and the changes in Xia Nan were indeed significant.

Frogon’s level of strength and experience might allow him to clearly judge Xia Nan’s combat system and style habits just through brief battle scenes.

But after all, he was not some spellcaster seer; truly wanting to see through Xia Nan’s depths at a glance was indeed not a simple matter.

However, from Xia Nan’s own perspective, the bottleneck he was encountering was quite clear.

Starting his adventurer path with a high-level profession like [Fallen Blade Hunting].

Although it greatly enhanced his combat abilities, laying a foundation to an almost exaggerated extent.

But at the same time, it also lost the wide battle skill pool of basic professions like [warrior] and [Ranger].

To find a battle skill that matches his professional system is extremely difficult.

This point is evident from his inability to find a suitable skill in the battle skill lists of the adventurer association branches in River Valley Town and Suo Yu Bay.

Additionally, unlike basic professions that can directly advance to the extraordinary boundary at lv10, a high-level profession like [Fallen Blade Hunting] has a limit of only level five, requiring another secondary job to break the limit, which is one of its constraints.

Currently, what Xia Nan needs the most.

Is a battle skill that can simultaneously take into account "Quality Level and potential limit," "in harmony with his combat style," "belonging to the [Fallen Blade Hunting] professional system," "easy skill level acquisition," and best of all can perfectly integrate into the [Hunting Arc] combat formation.

To be honest, satisfying all his conditions is indeed somewhat difficult.

For Xia Nan, if it can satisfy just two of these conditions, he is able to accept.

For example, the [Embers Resonance] with "extremely high Quality Level" and "special effect of the Second Stage explosion";

Or [Heavy Tide] with "rapid skill level enhancement" and "as a [Fallen Blade Hunting] companion battle skill."

And after his introduction and the actual performance in the battle just now, the barbarian Frogon also gained a somewhat clearer understanding of Xia Nan’s current bottleneck.

"The combat formation you mentioned earlier, should be the rhythm change technique used when fighting that Elite Earth Goblin just now?"

"Yes!" Xia Nan nodded, "The combination of [Vortex Slash] and [Teeth Hunting] would be more apparent, but related techniques can also be integrated into ordinary combat."

Upon hearing this, Frogon’s gaze at the black-haired young adventurer became more complex.

With Xia Nan’s current age and professional level, merely understanding the "combat formation" is enough to place him at the top of the power level pyramid for professionals of the same level.

Moreover, "extracting special techniques from the combat formation to incorporate into usual combat" further signifies his deep understanding of these two battle skills and his extraordinary talent far exceeding that of ordinary people.

In just over a year, Xia Nan’s growth rate far exceeded Frogon’s expectations, making his original preparations for this meeting mostly obsolete.

Fortunately, regardless, Xia Nan is still far from extraordinary in terms of professional level.

And due to a short entry time, his recognition of the professional path’s direction is relatively shallow.

After carefully listening to the hardships Xia Nan is currently encountering, Frogon offered his response.

"In terms of battle skills, if I must say, I do have a few items that could be taught to you."

"But... I feel they are not suitable for your current combat style and professional system."

These were initially prepared on the premise that Xia Nan had not yet embarked on the path of professional, or had just obtained professional level.

Compared to Xia Nan’s current power level and already formed combat style, learning such types of battle skills would undoubtedly be a misguided path.

Frogon actually mastered battle skills of higher quality level, even comparable to [Teeth Hunting].

But pairing them with Xia Nan’s earlier combat performance, they are completely unsuitable; forcing himself to learn them would only hinder his current combat system and slow his growth pace.

Upon hearing this, Xia Nan couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Yet he wasn’t too dejected.

He had considered this kind of worst-case situation.

Hmm... if all else fails, he might slightly slow down his advancement speed, seek out Secret Realms to accumulate [Dream Weaving Corridor] energy.

[Gravity Control] shouldn’t be considered anymore, [Embers Resonance] regardless of how slowly the enhancement speed is, at least it has already reached lv3, with effort, it’s not impossible to train it to full-level mastery.

In terms of professional level, staying a few more months at lv4 at most, he can still reach lv5 and thus begin the secondary job ritual.

Unaware of the thoughts in the young adventurer’s mind in front of him, yet clearly perceiving his slightly low mood.

Just stating earlier that there weren’t suitable battle skills to teach him, the barbarian Frogon suddenly shifted his words, saying:

"Actually, sometimes, thinking too complexly isn’t necessarily a good thing."

"If you hope the battle skill can both suit the combat style and professional system, and also expect it to have a considerable quality level, even seemingly tailored for your own combat formation..."

"Why not try... to create such a battle skill yourself?"

Having a short period since transmigration, lacking sufficient background, he even needed urgent supplementary lessons on extraordinary knowledge related to adventurers through the association and tavern.

Xia Nan’s understanding of this industry is still somewhat shallow.
