Chapter 10: Aerial Slash and System Limitations (Ch 10)

Do what you say.
Gao Wei activated the badge ability again. When he focused his gaze on himself, the familiar light blue screen appeared before his eyes again:
【Name-Gao Wen】
[Potential-Silver]
[Rating – Black Iron: A leader among the small fish, but still a small fish, with untapped potential.]
“Silver level potential?”
“My physique has been raised to level 5, and the balance attribute has been awakened. My body has undergone a transformation.”
“Even the silver-level potential may be the result of this transformation, but this still needs to be verified later.”
“And the potential of this body, even if it is developed to its limit, is only silver?”
“Furthermore, what are the methods to improve potential?”
After some fruitless thinking.
Gawain looked down, his eyes fell on the ratings, and murmured:
“Black Iron Outstanding Person…”
“That means my current combat power is already at a critical point. If I go one step further, I can reach the bronze rating?”
“The main task at the moment is to get familiar with this body.”
Think of this.
Gao Wen closed the system interface, walked out of the captain’s room and came to the deck.
now.
It was late at night and the sea breeze brought cool breeze.
The pirates who were originally lying on the deck to rest have also returned to the cabin.
Gawain slowly drew out the long sword from his waist and began to swing it according to the sword moves he had learned from memory.
clang!
clang!
clang!
…
Silver light flickered on the deck, and the sound of breaking air could be heard from time to time. Gawain’s sword was drawing faster and faster.
What his predecessor learned was the most orthodox knight swordsmanship. There were no fancy sword moves, but each move was extremely moderate and peaceful, and the foundation laid was extremely solid.
But in Gawain’s hands it became something else.
Sharp and swift, abandoning all complicated techniques and changes, relying on super-fast sword-drawing speed to go straight back and forth, pursuing the most extreme lethality, it is a sword technique born for killing!
The benefits brought by the speed are not only reflected in the speed of attack, but also in the significant improvement of Gawain’s own movement and nerve reaction speed.
With just Gawain’s original body, he couldn’t even fully utilize the effect of his super speed.
But now that Gawain’s physique has also been raised to level 5, the situation is different.
The basic panel has almost doubled, which is fully capable of withstanding this kind of explosion, not to mention that Gao Wen also has the bonus of the Balance entry.
The simultaneous growth of his physique, strength, and agility allowed his body to enter a state of perfect balance.
Every ability of the basic panel can be used to its fullest extent, and the burden on the body is almost zero.
“My judgment was correct!”
“Physique, agility, and strength complement each other. To fully exert their effects, only when the three are synchronized can they reach the most perfect state!”
Amidst the sword lights.
Gao Wen’s eyes became brighter and brighter. As he practiced each move, he felt a sense of comfort and every cell in his body felt extremely excited.
The power in the body is surging in an endless stream!
finally……
laugh!
As Gawain swung his sword, a silver-white flying slash flew out of his hand and cut off the guardrail of the warship. The remaining force did not decrease and flew all the way to dozens of meters away before slowly dissipating.
“Flying Slash?!”
Looking at the smooth cut on the guardrail, Gao Wen couldn’t suppress the excitement in his eyes.
“In other words, these common skills of swordsmen can be mastered by ourselves even without system entries?!”
“Luckily, I chose Speed. After all, the other two skills can be mastered by myself through hard practice.”
Gao Wen secretly thanked his luck and calmed down to continue practicing his swordsmanship.
As he became more familiar with his body, whose basic panels were rapidly expanding, his swordsmanship became more fierce and swift. In the end, the only sound on the deck could be heard, but no one was seen.
Everyone was awakened by the noise on the deck. Seeing the flashing silver light and flying sword energy on the deck, they couldn’t help swallowing.
“So fast!”
“That flying sword energy is a flying slash that only a swordsman can master!”
“I have only seen this kind of ability in legends!”
They looked at each other, and saw the awe that was hard to conceal in each other’s eyes.
Who else but Captain Gawain has such strength on board?
…
…
…
“Huh~”
Exhaling a breath of hot air, Gao Wen ended his training, and then he found that a red sun had risen in the sky.
He worked all night without stopping, and was sweating all over, with his clothes all soaked.
But his body did not feel tired at all. On the contrary, during such high-intensity training, he only felt that the strength in his body was constantly surging.
It was as if something sleeping in this body was completely awakened!
At this moment, Gao Wen finally confirmed that his silver-level potential must be related to the improvement of his physique and the balance entry, and the latter is more likely!
After all, if it is just the physical improvement, the growth of basic attributes cannot bring about such a fundamental change.
“If the potential of the silver level can reach this level, then what will the higher levels of gold, legendary, or even mythical be like?”
Gawain muttered to himself, quietly gripping the sword in his hand tighter.
“As long as I work hard at practicing, I will definitely be able to go further and even compete with those legends.”
Gawain had this confidence, but then he felt his skin become sticky, and the impurities eliminated from last night’s physical transformation mixed with sweat gave off a nauseating smell.
He turned and walked back to the cabin, washed up briefly and changed his clothes, then returned to the deck.
The pirates had already stood in a neat line on the deck, and even without Gawain’s urging, they took the initiative to practice swordsmanship.
Last night they witnessed Gawain’s swordsmanship. Whether it was the ghostly speed or the flying slashes, they all aroused their desire and naturally worked harder in their practice.
For a moment, the only sound on the deck was the clashing of swords.
Gawain nodded secretly upon seeing this, and after simply correcting the movements of a few people, he let these pirates practice on their own.
By late at night, everyone had finished their practice.
What Gao Wen didn’t expect was that the experience provided by everyone began to shrink.
There are more than fifty people practicing on the deck. According to the previous ratio, they should be able to provide more than ten points of experience a day.
But today, both the gains in physical strength and swordsmanship are only in the pitiful single digits.
“What’s going on?”
Gawain frowned slightly. He looked at the pirates resting on the deck and quietly opened the system panel:
【Name-Gabe】
[Potential-Black Iron]
[Rating – Black Iron: Swordsmanship apprentice, potential exhausted.]
“Potential exhausted…”
Gao Wen looked at the content in the rating and gradually understood.
How is it possible for a person’s abilities to improve without limits?
As time goes by, you will always reach a point where no matter how much you practice, you cannot make any further progress, or even maintain your original state.
The potential of Black Iron level means that it can only grow to Black Iron level at most.
For the boat full of black iron fry, the speed at which they reached their limits was much faster than Gawain had imagined.
It is foreseeable that the reduction in experience is just the beginning, and Gao Wen’s income will become lower and lower.
“We need to speed up the recruitment of new people.”
“It really can’t work…”
A stern look flashed in Gawain’s eyes.
He thought he was not a good person, but he couldn’t do anything to civilians.
After all, they were a group of poor people, and there was nothing much to be gained from poor people. But some people were different…
“Snatch people from your peers!”
