After Han Xiao got the items, he immediately went to find Bennett . Since the mercenary troops and assassins were allowed into the manor, Bennett and Wang Yuan often appeared . Everybody knew that they lived on the highest floor .
The staircase of the villa was made of mahogany and gave out a special scent . Han Xiao walked up the staircase to the top floor and knocked on Bennett's door .
"Sit anywhere you want . "
Bennett was holding a cup of herbal tea in his hand, and after opening the door, he sat on the sofa and looked at Han Xiao happily . He liked Han Xiao as Han Xiao was the first to recognize his true identity . He then asked, "What do you want? Oh wait, let's not rush into the talking . I made a pot of herbal tea; do you want to try?"
He then pointed to the cup in his hand .
The herbal tea in the cup was so thick . The tea was green in color and had freakish bubbles .
Han Xiao closed his mouth, but he finally could not withstand his urge to speak . He pointed to the herbal tea and said in a breathless voice, "So what is the tradeoff I need to make?"
Bennett had confusion written all over his face . He did not understand what Han Xiao was saying .
Han Xiao coughed and put the conversation back on track . "I want to learn fighting techniques from you . "
Bennett did not know whether he should laugh or cry . "I thought I said no… eh, is that the Sliver Defender Leader's Saber?"
The Silver Defender Leader's Saber was manufactured in an ancient country that no longer existed . That country's weapons' manufacturing techniques had a history of more than hundreds of years . Every weapon manufactured was considered as a prized piece that displayed great craftsmanship . There were only about a hundred of such sabers left in the world .
The saber was truly a classic . There were carvings of scriptures on the blade of the saber . The words inscribed were aesthetically pleasing, and every saber was carved with a different paragraph . The paragraphs were joint together to form a saga of the ancient country .
Bennett stared hard at the saber . One could tell from the look in his eyes that he liked the saber a lot . However, he did not stretch out his hands to reach for it . Instead, he looked at Han Xiao in astonishment . "You want to give the saber to me? How did you know that I like collecting antique weapons? You must be my admirer!"
"I…" Han Xiao was speechless . Indeed, what he was doing to Bennett was a little out of the ordinary . It was hard to explain why he wanted to give the saber to Bennett . He thought to himself, As long as I can learn new skills, I can accept any form of misunderstanding . Maybe my actions can even improve relations with Bennett .
It's fine as long as you're happy .
After receiving the Silver Defender Leader's Saber, Bennett could not take his hands off that prized possession . He was also feeling pretty tangled up . Han Xiao had handed him a gift that he had always longed for . Also, Han Xiao seemed like a hardcore fan of his, so he could not bear to reject Han Xiao's request .
Bennett thought for a while and then raised his head . He smiled at Han Xiao and said, "Let's do it . "
Han Xiao could feel his goosebumps rising, and he immediately retreated backwards . He held his hands in front of his body . His body was tensed up and prepared to face the upcoming move he expected from Bennett .
"What are you thinking about‽ I meant that I am willing to teach you some skills . " Bennett slapped his hand on his forehead .
"Can you say the full sentence next time‽"
"… you should clear up all these filthy thoughts in your mind . " Bennett did not know how he should react . He shook his head and contemplated for a moment . He eventually confirmed the skill he wanted to teach Han Xiao .
"In the early days when I was weak and young, I experimented and discovered many fighting techniques . One of such techniques gave me the power to make a comeback when I was down . I named the technique [Flaming Will] .
"The brain is the protector of one's body but at the same time a limiting factor . If one can remove the limiting factor, even an average individual without any form of training will be able to release an immense amount of power .
"However, such a method takes a heavy toll on one's body . Once, when I was faced with danger, I unexpectedly unlocked the limiting factor, and with a few tries, I managed to uncover a way to remove the limiting factor for a short period of time without hurting my body . "
Bennett started to explain the theory behind the technique and patiently highlighted the key factors behind mastering the technique .
——————————————————————
Bennett Anderson (LV 60) taught you the skill [Flaming Will] . Your intelligence exceeds 100 points and met the pre-requisite to learn the skill . Your current progress is 3% .
——————————————————————
The lesson lasted all the way from morning to afternoon . The soothing voice from the interface highlighted Han Xiao's progress up till the point when Han Xiao mastered the skill entirely .
——————————————————————
Flaming Will Lv . 1 (General Skill)
The young Bennett Anderson was previously mastering his skills in the extreme wilderness of the Northern Continent . Seven Northern Leopard-Bears tried to attack him, and one of the creatures was as large as a small tank . Nobody wants to hear the roars of a Leopard-Bear . Once the creature roars, it means that it has locked onto you . Their thick skin, muscles are impenetrable even by bullets .
Bennett only had a small dagger with him when he was faced with the impending attack . He did not have any thermal weapons . In such a time of desperation, Bennett mastered the technique and used his small dagger to deal damage that was comparable to that dealt the by High-frequency Wave Blade!
The skill has both passive and active abilities .
Active ability: When the upper limit of 10% of energy and stamina is exhausted, the next attack will deal 130 to 150% of damage . There is even a small likelihood of 180 to 200% damage and a minute likelihood for 250 to 300% damage . Lastly, although super-rare, there is a microscopic chance of 500% damage being dealt! The cool-down for the ability is ten minutes .
Passive ability: When HP is less than 20%, the ability will be activated . The cool-down time is thirty minutes .
The increased attack is calculated from the damage dealt by the basic attack . It is similar to the concept of defense . The original damage received is then converted into the true damage dealt after taking damage reductions into account .
Note: Cooldowns for the active and passive abilities are calculated separately .
——————————————————————
What a solid move . Han Xiao was feeling very excited . He had longed to master the skill since his past life, and today, he finally accomplished the feat .
There was another name given to [Flaming Will] by the players . The ability was also known as the 'Explosion of the Little Galaxy' .
The skill was a general skill that could be mastered by players of all professions . The pre-requisite was that one's intelligence must exceed 100 points . There were a hundred Silver Defender Leader's Saber; therefore, about hundred individuals could master the skill .
Han Xiao was one of them .
[Flaming Will] was a perfect complement to his sniping abilities . The damage depended on his intelligence and luck . The two attributes when combined could mask the weaknesses of each other and average out .
Once the skill was activated, there was a minimum increase in damage dealt of 1 . 3 to 1 . 5 times . Together with the sudden strike, sneak attack, and sniping shots, the ability could elevate the strength of the sniper rifle to a greater extent . If there was an energy surge, it could mean 3 to 5 times additional damage . In his previous life, Han Xiao had met players who used [Flaming Will] against him . One shot from the opponent completely shattered his shied . There was no way he could continue the fight .
The ability had a relatively long cool down time so was more suited for the final shot to secure victory . There was another line of skills that a sniper could use that involved firing secret shots to ambush the enemy . Such ambush snipes hit the enemies at their weakest spots without them even knowing .
The other item that Han Xiao had, the Lock HOC Sniper Rifle, could activate more missions for the side profession he was planning to take up . His side profession involved more secretive and covert operations . Han Xiao did not plan to activate the side missions with the item yet . He wanted to do so only after he completed his mission of defending the manor so that he had sufficient time to focus on it .
After seeing the excitement in Han Xiao, Bennett felt puzzled and asked, "You finished learning?"
"Fast right . " Han Xiao beamed with pride .
Bennett was shocked and could not believe what he heard . He moved backwards and said, "Give me a punch, and I will know if you have really mastered the skill . "
Upon hearing that, Han Xiao, who could no longer wait to test out his new ability, threw a powerful punch at Bennett .
——————————————————————
You used [Flaming Will] .
Initializing…
Initialization complete . Your next attack will deal 136% of the basic damage .
——————————————————————
The punch landed on the left side of Bennett's face . Bennett's face felt like an indestructible wall that was harder than steel . A -1 damage was shown above Bennett's head .
