Bab 8: Sword Genius (Part 2)
After drinking the juice from the four coconuts and resting for about thirty minutes, Alvin's stamina was now fully recovered so he started training again in his basic sword arts. During his rest, through various experimentations, Alvin's discovered an important issue.
Apart from not being able to directly use the skills that he had in his memory from the real world, the experiences and comprehensions were still available to him.
That was why he had comprehended [Basic Marksmanship] so easily! In his previous world his marksmanship could be described in one word; Magical! The notorious name 'Dead shot' was one of his aliases in the underworld in his previous world because of his unnatural marksmanship. He never missed a shot!
This realization made him more confident to succeed in this world because of his abundant real life experience in both training and battles. Even though there were a lot of geniuses in this world, he didn't believe there were people of the younger generation who had much more abundant combat experience than him.
Looking at the time, it was still early. Alvin was not in a hurry to start hunting beasts to level up. He wanted to practice to the peak of the first stage before he started his hunt.
Within twenty minutes of starting practice, he once again immersed in an extremely mysterious condition.
As his sword swings and momentum became faster and faster, Alvin's body began to release massive quantities of heat. His blood felt like it was boiling, rushing through his veins to every part of his body like rivers through a dam. Its speed of flow got faster and faster along with the increase of his sword momentum. To ordinary people the, line of sight of the steel sword's trajectory was barely visible.
[Ding!]
This was the prompt that woke him up from his mysterious condition. At this moment, his body was streaming with sweat. Alvin could barely catch his breath now. He was dead tired!
The condition he had entered was so mysterious that he could not count the number of cycles of the [Basic Sword art] that he had executed.
He immediately brought up his attribute panel to check his status.

Alvin's current expression betrayed his excitement when he noticed that this basic sword skill could help increase his attributes. With this session of practice, he had successfully raised his Vitality by one point. If this progress speed could be maintained, he was very sure he would reap abundant harvests in no time.
When he entered the mysterious condition, the stamina consumed with each swing of his sword had been reduced to the bare minimum. That was why he could push his Basic sword Arts to the peak of the initial stage in one go. Now, the effects of his basic sword skill had also increased to 20%! With this, he believed he was ready to begin his hunting. But for now, he had to wait and slowly recover his stamina before continuing.
After waiting or about fifteen minutes, his stamina value had increased to 20/155. Meaning his recovery rate for now is 1 unit every minute. He spotted some coconut trees around him so he stood gradually gathered some coconuts using his new [Basic Marksmanship] to speed up his recovery.
With the help of the coconuts and a few other fruits that he gathered, he was finally able to recover his stamina to 155/155 after one and a half hours.
He breathed in deeply and looked at the deep eerie forest behind him. The feeling this forest gave him was intense danger but he had no choice but to venture inside if he ever wanted to succeed in this world.
It was almost noontime when Alvin finally entered this forest. From the intense dangerous signals that his battle trained senses were sending him, he knew that normally, normal people would never dare to come to this kind of dangerous place. Now, Alvin was quite cautious about his surroundings and kept his hands on his sword at all time, ready to react to any commotion.
It didn't take Alvin long after entering this forest to experience his first life and dead crisis.
After venturing into this forest for about eight minutes, he abruptly stopped in his tracks and stood still. He suddenly felt a burst of wind behind him. With his fastest speed he dodged to his right and swung his sword but it didn't land on anything. He suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his waist and looking down he realized that he had been injured and was bleeding slightly. He became shocked.
[Ding! -10 Health]
A system popup appeared in front of him but he ignored it because he knew he was facing a crisis now.
Alvin raised his head and saw his attacker in front. It was a two meter huge lion with blood dripping from its paw. It had two long incisors sticking out of its mouth like a Saber-tooth tiger but this was a lion. It seemed that if he had been slower for half a second he would surely have been seriously injured or sliced in half by this lion. The lion looked at its prey, greedily licking the blood from hits paws. Alvin tightly held his steel sword, staring fixatedly at the lion. He now began to lament on his attributes which was too low at this time.
Even though he was able to sense the tiger approaching, his reflexes were not fast enough to completely avoid it. He immediately used his investigate skill and the attributes of the beast appeared to him.
.....
Name: Saber Tooth Lion
Level: 1
Attack: 20
Defense: 15
HP: 250
...…
According to the notices that he had read previously on the Ares Corporation Player forms, he knew that ferocious beasts were much stronger than players of the same level but he was still shocked when he saw these figures.
Although he was now facing a crisis and might die at any time, Alvin had a strange feeling. It was excitement. But why was he so excited? He didn't dwell too much on that and looked at the front lion his mouth revealing a cruel smile. He didn't wait for the lion to jump up at him but instead threw himself at the lion with his fastest speed displaying the basic sword arts that he had just practiced.
This is one of the strongest attack postures of his Basic Sword arts. With the acceleration effect of his basic sword arts activated, he rushed to the front of the lion, lifted his sword and slashed twice across the beast's head. The lion used its right paws to block the sword. The sword effortlessly cut a deep wound in the lion's paw and with a deep painful roar, the beast jumped towards Alvin. Just tilting towards the left side of the lion, he slashed three times at a very fast pace. The lion tried to use its left paw to block the sword but Alvin slightly lifted his sword towards the joints of the beast and slashed deep into the lion's leg almost cutting it off.
In deep pain, the lion slumped into the floor. Alvin did not pause for even a second and slit strait into the lion's throat cleanly cutting the head off. The head rolled off to the side and its huge body fell heavily onto the floor. These series of actions were completed so flawlessly that you would think he was a veteran hunter but his expression now betrayed his youthful naivety. Alvin looked as blood gushed from the headless beast.
