With Margarita heading to Kaer Morhen, and Geralt and Yennefer busy solving their relationship problems, Xie Yuan was left without a tour guide.
However, traveling like opening a blind box also has a unique flavor.
However, because he was alone, Xie Yuan chose to drive an assault boat to other islands... As for whether there would be any strange legends left behind, Xie Yuan didn't care much.
After getting ashore, we took back the Zodiac, then marched quickly to a town, then bought a lot of food at the hotel and feasted on it, then looked at the information on the notification board, and finally bought a strong horse to resume our land trip.
Xie Yuan encountered many interesting competitions, trials of bravery, climbing the highest and steepest mountains in Skellige and diving into deep and long underground waters to obtain tokens representing the completion of trials.
Xie Yuan completed the task very successfully. After all, this kind of trial is still a little shallow compared to the special operations trial, and it is not particularly difficult for professionals like him.
After each received their trial certificates, Xie Yuan went to the horse racing and boxing matches non-stop - these two things, Xie Yuan had never been interested in playing in Velen and Novigrad because the rewards were too simple.
The money was just a little bit, and the reward was a local expensive saddle bag. This thing might be very attractive to Geralt, but it was of little use to him.
Unless he went to the ancient world again, how could he get a chance to ride a horse?
It's just that this time it's for honor, so Xie Yuan can only reluctantly participate in the two games this time.
There was nothing to look forward to in the horse racing competition. Xie Yuan had already taken a horseshoe representing the qualifications when he came from the village and participated in the competition without hesitation.
Horse racing in the Skellige Islands doesn't mind using dirty tricks, but Xie Yuan doesn't care about stumbling.
Because Xie Yuan and his horse will always be faster than anyone else - the trick is that he secretly injected his newly purchased horse with an injection developed by the system, with minimal side effects, the highest success rate, and a medium-to-high universality enhancement effect. T-virus enhancer.
This universal enhancer, which was developed at a huge cost, can achieve the greatest balance between loss of control and enhancement effect - that is, the vast majority of living creatures will not be completely out of control by the T virus after receiving the injection. Can obtain a series of benign strengthening effects.
A subject injected with this type of enhancer will have at least 3 times the physical strength, tolerance, and self-healing ability compared to the same type.
And if it is a subject with perfect fusion, it can even be increased to 10 times, but this situation is basically rare - and all subjects who have received the injection will retain some side effects: the pupil of the eye no matter what it was before The color will all be transformed into red.
In fact, this means that the visual ability of the subject will be subject to certain limitations, even if it is a horse - fortunately for a horse, this is not a shortcoming.
So, no matter how these Skellige Islands jockeys stumble, it's useless - you can't even see the horse's butt, so how can you stumble?
Of course, it was mainly the islanders of the Skellige Archipelago who were the stumbling blocks, but they were still no more knowledgeable than the old man Xie Yuan.
There isn't even the concept of veterinary stimulants here, so how can we pursue the problem of Xie Yuan's horse?
In order to make the islanders of the Skellige Islands feel better, Xie Yuan thought for a while and loudly proposed to everyone that he should dedicate this horse that gallops like lightning to the next king of Skellige, the BMW hero waiting for him. , you didn’t lose to me, Xie Yuan, but this horse is the best among horses.
After participating in the horse racing competition, Xie Yuan rushed to participate in the boxing competition, and the islanders gave Xie Yuan a deep impression this time.
Because at the end of the fight, Xie Yuan discovered that the last two challengers he had to face turned out to be a bear and a troll! ! !
For Xie Yuan, the opponent of the bear is more surprising. He is not incapable of fighting the bear, but he does not have this chance - the bear can be called a protected animal in the late 20th century, and it is too late to contain it quickly. , and how to hunt?
In the space age, bears are already a good ornamental species. Anyone who takes action against these precious creatures... taking a gun may be too harsh a punishment, but there is no way to escape a few years of imprisonment.
Now, being able to compete with a bear in the medieval period... hmm, it is indeed a bit ridiculous.
But what's even more ridiculous is that the bear was actually brought here by the previous champion. Because he defeated everyone, he became arrogant and thought that he had to duel with a bear to prove his bravery.
His wish was fulfilled... so he was gone, and the bear was left by the Skellige Islanders, who regarded tradition as life, to become the champion defender of the arena.
But this has a bad effect. After becoming one of the three regional champions, no one dares to face the challenge again and go to the arena to fight bears - and fight bears with bare hands.
The islanders of the Skellige Islands are crazy, but not fools. Who would fight a bear with bare hands!
But this time, Xie Yuan wanted to fight a bear.
Because in Xie Yuan's opinion, fighting bears are very comparable.
This is a European brown bear, and it is a very large brown bear. It is already an adult, with a body length of three meters and a weight of 600-700 kilograms according to visual inspection. It has a pair of powerful bear paws, which are 1.5 meters long. Although the claws Not telescopic, not very flexible, but powerful enough to be lethal to opponents.
This is comparable to the Space Marines on paper.
But Xie Yuan has also defeated a Space Marine before. His strength and speed can be improved to be comparable to that of a Space Marine. Not to mention that the reaction speed of the bear in front of him is even slower than that of a Space Marine?
So Xie Yuan directly opened the eighth level of amplification, and the blood began to circulate rapidly in the blood vessels, and water vapor began to "sizzlingly" come out of the body... This is the heat released by the cells everywhere in the body when they are doing work at extremely high speeds. It is being discharged with the assistance of nanobots.
"Roar!!!" The giant bear yelled and ran over very violently, as if it was going to crush Xie Yuan, a little guy in its eyes.
It has been starved for a while. This is intentional by the people in the arena because it needs to arouse its wild nature - this is not intentional to harm people, but because if the bear is well fed, what ability will it have to fight against it? ?
Will everyone just watch the bear lie down lazily?
But Xie Yuan doesn't have any emotions in his heart. With his whole body running at a high speed, he can perceive the outside world through his five senses to form a precognitive ability to concentrate information and predict the next action that will not occur - this is highly concentrated. The result of thinking using all the computing power of the brain.
It can be called the sixth sense, the sixth consciousness.
It's just that in this almost highly rational state, Xie Yuan also lost the aggressive sensibility of taking the initiative, because everything requires the brain to collect data and passively sensate, and then make countermeasures.
So when the giant bear was about to pounce, Xie Yuan didn't make any move... because there was no need.
But just when the giant bear's claws were about to fall on him, and when all the spectators outside the venue were about to close their eyes and not dare to see the tragic scene of being torn apart, Xie Yuan finally moved.
"Later attack" is a unique response rhythm after a high degree of mental concentration, because only by first noticing what moves the enemy will make can the brain judge what style to use to deal with it.
It’s just that it’s not just the last strike, but the last strike first – Xie Yuan not only moved, but he moved very cunningly. With one hand, he grabbed the arm of the giant bear that was waving its claws, and with the other hand, he supported the brown bear’s broad waist and abdomen. , the body turned 45 degrees, and then dwarfed - using the huge momentum of the brown bear as a guide, and using this huge force to use the body as a lever, it directly lifted the brown bear and smashed it to the ground.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the brown bear fell heavily to the ground with a loud muffled sound - it was a solid fall, and the brown bear didn't even react for a while, and all he could say was "Ouch!" whimpering sound.
"Wow!!!" The audience in the entire arena jumped in shock, just because this method was novel - no one thought that there was an option to knock the bear down, and this is also an empty-handed skill, no less than boxing, and Just as effective.
Some thoughtful people have begun to think about the effectiveness of Xie Yuan's method on humans, and some have even thought about whether to use the same method to deal with beasts such as bears or tigers.
Fortunately, Xie Yuan didn't read minds, otherwise he would have been frightened by this whimsical guy.
Although the old saying goes that ten years of work is not as good as wrestling, and it is true that one year of learning wrestling can be used in actual combat, but with the skills obtained through such a spy on the Skellige Islands, if you want to wrestle with a tiger and a bear... you still need to practice for one or two generations. People - and this person must be extremely talented and have the foundation of a Xiongzhi scholar.
That's right, Xie Yuan's technique for dealing with brown bears this time is wrestling. This is a classical training technique that has never gone out of style along with human civilization from the ancient times of eating hair and drinking blood to today's scientific and technological civilization.
Xie Yuan was not lacking in strength, but compared to the bear, Xie Yuan was not so easily slapped by it, so he had to use some tricks to knock it over to the ground using the momentum of its charge.
But flipping it to the ground was not enough. Xie Yuan took advantage of the brown bear to flip over, lifted it up by the waist and threw it across the bridge - "Cang!"
The brown bear hit the ground with its head first, causing the brown bear to scream in pain. This angry cry meant that the fall just now did not even hurt it much.
However, Xie Yuan didn't care. Bears are animals that are full of fat and fur. These thick things will give them the best cushioning. It would be really naive to expect to kill them with just two falls.
But Xie Yuan was not naive. He took this opportunity and when the brown bear got up quickly, he suddenly used his Dantian power and used the heel of his palm to slap the brown bear directly on the head with the force of gravity!
"Snapped!"
"Ouch!" After being hit hard, the brown bear could no longer control its ferocity. Since he couldn't get up, he just hit Xie Yuan with his paw.
This bear's paw is fierce enough. If it hits Xie Yuan, he can still withstand it, but I'm afraid it will take a few days to recover.
But why did Xie Yuan have to take this slap? So I pushed my toes down, flicked back, and the bear's paws rubbed against my chest and abdomen... I could feel a gust of wind rushing around my waist.
But the movements of his hands did not stop. As soon as Xie Yuang dodged the slap, the bear's head struggled to bite him.
This bear is wild and intuitive. It just missed attacking the enemy. The next moment, it expected Xie Yuan to grab its bear arm. However, the brown bear, which was obviously unwilling to let the enemy in front of him, looked at Xie Yuan's hand and chose to bite it. .
If this guy bites him, it will be like losing his hand in a short time - so Xie Yuan, who had already had a premonition, immediately withdrew his hand, then kicked his leg towards the bear's head with a whip-like shoe The tip directly triggered the huge force and gave the brown bear a hard blow.
"Ouch...woo" The force of this kick was so great that the brown bear even suffered a concussion. His expression became confused and his movements began to sway a little.
While his illness was killing him, Xie Yuan had no idea of waiting for him to recover before fighting. He stepped forward and kicked the bear's head with a powerful football. The force was so strong that the bear's head began to bleed... and this also made the bear even more sluggish. .
But this was not enough. Xie Yuan took a deep breath, immediately lifted the big guy up, held it high above his head, and then slammed it into the ground!
"eighty!"
"Ouch!!!" The violent collision definitely caused internal injuries to the brown bear, and its screams became violent.
It wanted to resist, but what greeted it was a size 45 shoe sole, which stomped hard on its head - "Bang!" The bear started to go into shock again.
Then it was lifted to Xie Yuan's head, and then Xie Yuan, who was holding the brown bear, jumped up directly, leaping to a height of two and a half meters, and then let go and threw it down!
"Bang!"
"Ouch!!..." The severe pain even caused the brown bear to scream and then quickly weakened... The internal injuries must have been very serious, and it no longer had the strength to scream.
Xie Yuan looked at the brown bear lying on the ground, which had obviously lost its air intake and outflow. Feeling its little vitality, he hesitantly asked the referee on the stage: "It is about to die. Has it eaten anyone before?"
But the referee's answer still made Xie Yuan lose his kindness: "Of course, first of all, the previous champion was its victim, and later there were more than a dozen challengers who tried it, and they all died - so there is no need to feel sorry for it. .”
Well, after hearing this, Xie Yuan directly raised his foot and chopped the bear's neck hard, directly breaking its cervical vertebrae and causing it to die quickly - which was considered a relief.
At this time, Xie Yuan unlocked the increase. After his body returned to normal, he suddenly felt sincerely hungry and tired.
Fortunately, the final champion could fight again another day, so Xie Yuan was able to eat and drink enough, and after a day's rest, he took on the challenge again.
The final Ultimate Champion is the Ice Troll, which is also an unexpected character, and is probably caused by the previous Ultimate Champion.
Trolls are huge humanoid creatures. Although in local daily language, the word "troll" is similar to the "pig head" in the real world, this creature actually has basic intelligence and can use shorter sentences to communicate with similar people and even humans.
The ice troll is a subspecies that lives exclusively in ice fields and icebergs - by the way, those who live in the mountains are called rock trolls, and those who live in the forest are called forest trolls.
This thing has a thick layer of armor on its back and is very powerful. It also likes to punch and throw ice cubes or gravel. To fight this kind of ice troll, Xie Yuan also uses amplification methods and wrestling skills to deal with them. After all, the two They are all good at strength but poor at agility.
But Xie Yuan still didn't kill the troll in the end, because as an intelligent creature, compared to the brown bear's unquenchable wildness, the troll still has the intelligence to fear and fear death... although not much.
In the end, the Ice Troll surrendered, and Xie Yuan also won the title of Ultimate Champion.
Now the only thing left was the Ice Giant, but Geralt stopped Xie Yuan because his and Yennefer's personal affairs had been completed, and it was time to pick up Uma - Avallac'h.
