Chapter 261: [Fading Fire Old Coin (Incomplete)]

Xia Nan was not a good teacher, at least that was what he thought.

As an adventurer who had already obtained a professional level and had quite impressive combat ability, for ordinary people in villages and towns, perhaps he was a "big shot" active in tavern rumors.

If one started solely from the perspective of combat achievements and strength, comparing him to those half-baked people who had just stepped into the threshold of adventurers and needed to exhaust all their strength to barely deal with the lowest-level Goblins, perhaps one could say so.

But if one really put him in the position of a "teacher" and required him to summarize his combat logic and on-site response strategies in a systematic and complete way that was convenient for students to digest and learn, then he really couldn't do it.

After so many battles, he had naturally accumulated a lot of experience, but the combat instincts from his body and conscious soul still occupied a leading position among them.

Completely opposite to the academic school that focused on theory, he was of the muscle school that relied purely on practice.

With this as a premise.

When the commission Xia Nan received was to let a fifteen-year-old teenager gain the courage to face multiple Goblins head-on.

He naturally wouldn't choose to waste his breath, introducing the habits and characteristics of this monster out of thin air, and there was no detailed plan.

The best way to overcome fear is to face the root of fear directly.

Don't escape.

Worried that the food cooked is not delicious, then cook it over and over again until satisfied;

Afraid of falling into the water and drowning, then throw yourself into the swimming pool and drink your fill until the fear of drowning in your heart is completely eliminated.

Afraid of Goblins?

Kill one and you won't be afraid anymore.

One is not enough, then ten, one hundred, one thousand...

Kill until numb, kill until dazed.

When you have truly seen the ridiculous appearance of those dirty and small green-skinned Goblins screaming miserably and crying with tears and snot when facing death, how could you possibly be afraid anymore.

Staying in Gray Valley Village for a short time, Xia Nan decided to use the most direct way to conduct desensitization training for the teenager Leon.

To ensure that he could completely eliminate, and never again produce, the fear of Goblins within these few short days.

"Hiss-gah!"

The sharp and miserable wailing sound echoed gloomily in the dim nest.

The blood-stinking smell that reached the extreme seemed to want to condense into visible red in the air.

Fragments of internal organs, broken limbs like dead branches, bone shards piercing out from the pus-green skin, a solidified head cut in half...

The blood emitting bursts of foul-smelling stench dyed the dirty soil on the ground into a piece of ominous reddish-brown, and the atmosphere of death that was hard to describe permeated between the stone walls.

Like a purgatory on earth.

And right in the center of this cave, two figures, one tall and one short, were standing.

"Don't look at the large number of these little things, they can't be killed no matter how much you kill, their vitality seems very tenacious."

"In fact, the body structure is very fragile, find the vital point, and one sword will kill them thoroughly."

The beheading longsword had already been sheathed, Xia Nan only held a small dagger usually used for cutting prey spoils in his hand, explaining to Leon beside him with focus.

His expression was natural, as if the place he was in right now was not a purgatory nest filled with flesh and broken limbs, but a bright classroom in the academy.

Coupled with his serious expression that was like a "Goblin Research Professor," it seemed as if the matte black armor on his body, which was splashed with scarlet blood and hung with pieces of flesh in some places, had also become the academy uniform of the professor.

"Look here." He half-squatted down, the tip of the knife gently poked the left chest of a Goblin on the ground, "This is the position of their heart, it is indeed a vital point, but in the process of actual combat, it is actually very difficult to find the right place, so..."

The cold and sharp tip of the knife gently swept across the thick green skin that was as fragile as thin paper, leaving a long, bleeding red mark.

This Goblin clearly hadn't died thoroughly, and the body also maintained integrity, just because of the effect of some invisible force, it was suppressed and bound on the ground, unable to move.

Right now, it was just screaming miserably on one side, while trembling violently under the sweeping tip of the knife.

"From here upwards, it's all fine." The sharp coldness stayed on the Goblin's thin neck, the tip sinking slightly into the skin, "Although it is a monster, their skulls are far from as hard as you imagine."

"Even at your age, holding an iron sword, with a little force, you can easily open the skull."

"If you are besieged by multiple Goblins at the same time, you can choose to take the initiative to attack, and while letting the armor on your body bear the first wave of damage, use this method to make them lose members."

"In addition..." The tip of the knife swept again, pointing to the Goblin's thin limbs amidst the wriggling and trembling of the muscles.

"These joints are even more fragile than an eighty or ninety-year-old person, if you can't attack their vital points for a while, making them lose the ability to act or use weapons is also a good choice."

"Do you understand?"

Putting the dagger back to his waist, Xia Nan stood up slowly and asked Leon beside him.

"Un, understand!"

The teenager shuddered violently, stuttering, and shouted loudly as if stimulated.

Good news: Leon is no longer afraid of Goblins;

Bad news: After this battle, his original fear of Goblins shifted to Xia Nan.

"As long as you understand."

With the ease and pleasure after killing and venting fire on his face, Xia Nan smiled and patted the teenager's shoulder.

"Next, it's just right to let you practice."

"Draw your sword." He looked at the green-skinned Goblin on the ground that was bound by gravity, as if it were a magnet firmly adsorbed on the ground, "You have five seconds of preparation time."

As soon as the words fell, one could clearly see Leon's body stiffen for an instant, subconsciously swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

The face that had already lost its blood color under the effect of the tragic scene on the field couldn't help but become even paler.

After all, he was just a fifteen-year-old teenager.

Carrying expectations, harboring the idea of protecting his loved ones, facing the Goblins' siege on the village, perhaps he could rely on a burst of hot blood and, together with those familiar brothers and uncles, briefly forget the threat of death and the fear of monsters, and top the front line.

But the situation right now was completely different.

The environment, the enemy, and the fear cultivated under the countless warnings of the adults since childhood made Leon feel empty in his heart, unable to touch the bottom.

Fortunately, Xia Nan was standing by his side after all, and the hatred of his parents' death was always buried in the bottom of his heart, burning slowly.

"Clang!"

The old iron sword stained with some rust was pulled out fiercely.

The sword tip pointed outward, the hands tightly gripping the sword hilt were shaking violently, but the teenager's eyes were gradually becoming firm.

Xia Nan stood not far away, carefully observing Leon's movements and demeanor.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but nod gently.

"Be careful." He said.

Immediately, he released the binding of 【Gravity Control】 on the Goblin.

"Hiss-gah!"

"Ah ah ah ah!" ===== CHAPTER 262 =====
