《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 447. Acupuncture Skills
Advertisement
Instantaneous shadow kill was a high tier assassin skill. Even though the explanation was somewhat similar to the ultimate move of the assassin- death in one strike, the threat was much lesser, like a weaker version of the skill. The skill was flexible, which made it a good learning skill for beginners, it could even be used as an escape tool.
"Theft" needed no explanation. Even though it was not as perverse as Frost Blade's Pillage and it did not have a high success rate, the fact that it could allow the player to obtain free items from others could only be described as BUG-like.
As for Acupoint assault, this skill was a little worthless.
First of all, amongst the seven classes in Rebirth, there was never a lack of crowd control skills. Even Pugilists had the sideway kick to knock their enemies airborne.
Of course, airborne effects were cleansable, which made it far inferior to knock up effects, but amongst the other crowd control abilities it was considered a decent one.
Secondly, this skill had to hit the target's acupoint for it to work. Traditional Chinese medicine was fading in the world, how many gamers knew of acupuncture points?
In comparison to other crowd control skills, Acupoint assault was far less useful and was far less powerful than it sounded.
Rightly so, otherwise, Assassins could simply cast Acupoint assault and proceed to kill their target with their assassination skills. That would have been way too overpowered.
After Wang Yu tossed the three skill books into the channel, Lone Vagrant Guest and One Page Book went silent before saying, "Brother Bull, you should pick first…".
One Page Book and Lone Vagrant Guest did not know that the Assassin had left these skill books behind. Wang Yu could have kept all of them for himself if he wanted to, but he was an honest man.

Among the three skill books, there was only one that Wang Yu could use, and it was that trash of a skill.
"Alright, I'll take 'Acupoint assault'. I won't be able to use the other skills anyway," Wang Yu said casually.
"…".
One Page Book said, "That skill isn't good…".
Wang Yu said casually, "No matter, I think it's decent, it suits me.".
"Brother Bull, you know about acupuncture?" One Page Book asked with some surprise.
Acupuncture points were complex and have an entrenched place in history. Ever since martial arts existed, the topic had been heavily researched and practiced.
"I know a little!" Wang Yu said.
"Can you teach me?" One Page Book asked with excitement.
Wang Yu replied, "The Crane Fist Manual has a few acupuncture related techniques, I can send them to you if we have the time and you can look through them yourself.".
"Why don't you want to teach me?" One Page Book asked.
The Crane Fist was the household technique of One Page Book's family, even if Wang Yu guided her, there was no breaking of any rules.
"Acupuncture techniques can't be imparted between people of the opposite gender," Wang Yu explained.
"Ah…" One Page Book knew that she had asked the wrong question as a blush appeared on her face.
Acupuncture techniques required extensive physical contact.
"The two of you know Kung Fu in real life?" Lone Vagrant Guest asked excitably.
From his name, one could tell that Lone Vagrant Guest was a fan of Wu Xia. After hearing their conversation, he immediately reacted excitably.
"Yea.".
"Teach me please… I'll pay you," he said excitedly.
"…".
"I'll send you the skill books you wanted via mail when I return to the main city, I'll head off first," Wang Yu said.

Kung Fu's evolution from the ancient times till today was a transformation on many levels. Apart from being a technique or a skill, it was also a cultural asset.
Wang Yu respected Kung Fu deeply, in his toughest times, he had never ever though of using it as a means to earn money. Lone Vagrant Guest's offer irritated him.
If he was not someone who didn't know any martial arts, Wang Yu would have punched him in the face.
"Don't be like that Bull God, we can discuss the price…".
"What are you talking about? Is Kung Fu something you can wager with a price? Don't insult brother Bull like that," One Page Book immediately cut her short.
"What? Is that why he seems so angry?" Lone Vagrant Guest said with resignation as he looked at One Page Book. "Why don't you teach me then…".
After all, they all knew Kung Fu, if Wang Yu didn't want to teach him, this lass could.
"Nope," One Page Book said coldly.
"I'll pay…".
"Scram!!".
...
In the channel of the Quan Zhen Sect, a bunch of people were calling for Wang Yu.
"My god, old Bull is great indeed, he even did the faction dungeon, he's struck the jackpot. @IronBull.".
The system only released dungeons up till level 25, there would be another release at level 30. Even though it was only available to the players of the holy faction, and they had to split the rewards among 3… it was still quite something.
After all, it usually took more than ten people to begin the faction dungeon quest. Wang Yu did it with just 3 people.
"Indeed, why did I not have such good luck to get this quest? @IronBull".
"Cut the crap spring dog, uncle bull relied on his own ability. Tell me uncle Bull, what's good in that dungeon? Tell me! @IronBull".
"Dungeon? I only did the first quest, I haven't gone down to the dungeon yet," Wang Yu replied, finally responding to the tags.
"I see, did you get anything good from the quest then?" Vainglory asked, curious to see what other strong items he could have gotten.
It was a pity that Vainglory had some rotten luck. He chose the same class as Wang Yu and could only take the leftovers whenever the rewards came, this was why he hoped that Wang Yu could get some good stuff.
Wang Yu showed the job change token in the channel and said, "I did, but it doesn't belong to you…".
