Jacques did not hear the conversation between Maistre and Paul because he was concentrating on it.

Being able to block the Fire Skeleton's attack was a huge improvement for him. He was very encouraged and couldn't wait to challenge it again.

Each time, tangible progress could be felt; Jacques's defense had become impenetrable, and his counterattacks were becoming more and more threatening.

Jacques even adjusted his movements every time; the way he held the sword, the timing of his sword strikes, and the angle of his thrusts were becoming more and more mature.

Until the 68th challenge, Jacques easily blocked the hammer attack of the Fire Skull. The flaming hammer had been almost completely shattered, while the flaming sword in Jacques's hand was not damaged at all.

The Fire Skull was shaken by the powerful recoil and its body was greatly twisted, revealing its biggest flaw so far. But it still tried to return to normal as quickly as possible to plug the loophole.

However, Jacques was faster. He held the sword in one hand, took a big step forward with his right foot, and lowered his body as low as possible to shorten the distance and path of the stab, making the attack difficult to resist.

Sure enough, the sword tip penetrated into the left waist of the Fire Skeleton without any hindrance.

"Successful!"

Jacques was so focused that he immediately poured his magic power into the tip of the sword. Then he twisted his wrist hard, and a gorgeous spiral of fire burst out from the sword!

The fire spiral was so powerful that the fire skeleton's body was immediately torn into countless pieces. It then melted into a large ball of dense fire element, which circled in the room for several times and then rushed into Jacques' body along the flaming sword.

Jacques felt that after the fire element entered his body, it heavily impacted the undeveloped heavenly fire deep in his soul, and even burst into a few sparks. The sparks of the heavenly fire fell into Jacques' body and dispersed into extremely dense fire elements. Jacques felt that his body seemed to have become twice as thick and heavy.

A small part of the Heavenly Fire potential in his body was further developed.

"Yeah!" Jacques couldn't help but cheer. With repeated efforts, he finally made progress and gained rewards, and defeated an opponent who was stronger than himself. It was indeed a very satisfying thing.

Gandalf remained silent, but watched the trial carefully, probably knowing that there was nothing to worry about. Meister and Paul also had similar thoughts.

After a short rest, Jacques walked into the second room.

Another fire skeleton appeared in front of him, but it was obviously smaller than the first fire skeleton, about the same size as Jacques now, and it was wielding a dagger.

The process of the trial was similar, except that the difficulty increased dramatically. The Fire Skull launched a very fast thrust at Jacques, and Jacques had to do his best to resist.

Facing this smaller and faster opponent, Jacques felt overwhelmed. No matter how hard he tried, he could not block the opponent's attack, and his fatigue and injuries accumulated more and more.

After challenging for about fifty times, Jacques decided to change his mindset and attack instead of defend. He focused all his magic power on the flaming sword and competed with the opponent in attack. Finally, he won with overwhelming momentum.

The opponent in the third room is a Fire Skeleton using a halberd. The fourth and final room has three Fire Skeletons holding a scimitar, a whip, and a long sword respectively.

Not to mention Maestre who had personally experienced the Marsala Trial, Jacques who participated in the Trial for the first time, and Gandalf and Paul who watched the Trial for the first time, all saw through the essence of this Trial. In fact, it was a quick tutorial for the ancestors of the family to set up extremely demanding battle conditions for victory, and pass on the family's most powerful martial arts and training methods to future generations in this way.

After the Masala family's martial arts were integrated and refined, only one move remained, which was a low-angle thrust with overwhelming momentum that could be used in all situations!

This move is extremely domineering. It advocates not letting go in most cases, but using overwhelming thrusting force to force the opponent's offensive to stagnate. It emphasizes the proficiency in the entire set of thrusting movements, the control of the timing of the attack, and the strong self-confidence to face strong enemies without fear.

Therefore, this move is very suitable for people with fire attribute to practice.

No matter whether the opponent is using heavy weapons, short weapons, long weapons, soft weapons, or even one against three, this thrust can defeat the enemy in one move.

There is only one tactic, which is to crush, absolute crushing in momentum.

Even when facing an opponent who is stronger than himself, such as the first Fire Skeleton who uses a flaming hammer, he provides a routine of blocking and then counterattacking to kill the enemy instantly.

This is the essence of the Masala family's martial arts!
