Chapter 261 Following the Map, Xunfeng's First Strike! The Rhythm of the Wind! Old Rabbit's Secret, Stage Rewards?

"This is it."

Soon after, Qin Fang selected his skills.

The skill he chose came from an epic class called 'Swiftblade'.

This is a warrior class, whose first active skill, 'Swift Slash', can unleash nine streaks of wind in an instant to kill the opponent.

From a skill perspective alone, this is undoubtedly a very powerful skill.

Every strike deals 100% damage, meaning this skill has a damage coefficient of up to nine times.

But it's clear that if Old Rabbit is telling the truth, then this 'Swift Wind Slash' is definitely not comparable to the Nine Slashes of the Swift Wind.

after all……

The Xunfeng Nine Slashes has reached the ninth level, with tens of thousands of slashes per second... This is many times stronger than the 'Swift Wind Slash'.

In fact, with Qin Fang's current basic 'sword count', as long as he masters the first level, it's almost equivalent to perfectly replicating the 'Swift Wind Slash'. Reaching the second level... that's 'twenty-seven sword strikes'... far exceeding the 'Swift Wind Slash'.

Thinking of this, Qin Fang paused slightly, then let out a soft breath...

"No wonder the village chief said it was a 'fragment'...it is indeed a fragment."

"To truly master even the first or second level of a unique skill... you don't even need to fully master it to have combat power far exceeding that of an epic skill..."

In fact, it probably surpasses even legendary skills.

For example, the 'Nine Slashes of Xun Wind' has a 27-fold increase in power at the second level!

...Even legends can't achieve such a terrifying increase!

Not to mention the other skills at the excellent, elite, and ordinary levels.

Compared to the other two... this one is utterly pathetic.

...If there is any weakness, it is probably that the puppet body has no vital points, while the cultivator does have vital points.

Qin Fang thought for a moment, then without further hesitation, he raised his long sword and narrowed his eyes.

"Let me see if these fragments of laws can truly guide us..."

He was thinking about it when a thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Swift Wind Slash!"

The next moment, he felt a power rising within his body, suddenly spreading and causing his body to move involuntarily.

The next instant, the longsword slashed, bursting forth with a burst of light and shadow, and nine sword beams pierced the air with fierce speed!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Nine sounds, almost one after another, pierced the air.

Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes narrowed slightly.

"The technique for generating power... does seem somewhat similar to the Nine Slashes of the Swift Wind. But there seems to be something peculiar about it..."

That place was mysterious and indescribable. He frowned, but couldn't fully understand it at first.

"One more time..."

He took a deep breath and looked at the panel.

While Gale Slash is powerful, its cooldown time is also very long, a full ten minutes.

Qin Fang frowned, but could only wait...

Undoubtedly, this is also a drawback of the panel... all moves have a cooldown period.

If the cooldown isn't reached, you won't be able to unleash your skill no matter how hard you try.

But the limits of physical strength cannot be so strictly limited.

Miracles can happen in life-or-death situations... Someone who originally lacked the strength to unleash another powerful attack might be able to use it again due to a surge of willpower...

Qin Fang has many skills, so this drawback is not yet obvious in him.

If this skill can't be used, we can always use another one.

But what about ordinary professionals?

They only have four skills in total.

If it's all about cooling down... then we can only wait to die.

...After comparing the two, Qin Fang became increasingly aware of the huge limitations of the career panel.

...Everything was pre-programmed.

Too rigid.

Its advantage is stability.

The downside... is also its stability.

Ten minutes later.

Qin Fang raised his knife again...

He squinted, deep in thought.

"Swift Wind Slash!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

"I'm starting to get the hang of it...it seems like it..."

Qin Fang's eyes gradually brightened. He assumed a fighting stance and switched to the 'Nine Slashes of Xun Wind'.

Swish, swish, swish...

"No, something's not right. When I unleash Gale Slash, the flow of power feels incredibly smooth. But when I use it myself, it just doesn't feel right... I'll try Gale Slash again..."

"Swift Wind Slash!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

"Hmm? This is... it seems to be some kind of rhythm? The convergence of source energy and muscle strength seems to match some kind of rhythm... or rather, tempo? Let's try again..."

"Swift Wind Slash!"

"I'm starting to feel it..."

"Swift Wind Slash!"

"Swift Wind Slash!..."

...

Qin Fang became completely engrossed in it without realizing it.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

He used 'Swift Wind Slash' repeatedly, then stopped to ponder it carefully... and then tried using 'Nine Slashes of the Wind' on his own...

Completely absorbed in it, I completely forgot about the passage of time.

"Rhythm..."

"Rhythm..."

He became completely addicted.

I have a feeling that we're about to break through a thin layer of paper.

But it still felt like something was missing; this kind of inspiration is fleeting!

This made his face grow increasingly grim.

This feeling of something being so close yet so out of reach made him anxious and distressed.

Just then, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the Upside-Down Cloud Realm, whipping against Qin Fang's face again and again, like the tides...

Qin Fang suddenly froze, and then his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Feeling...the wind...so this is what it's like?!"

In that instant, as if blessed with good fortune, the knife in his hand trembled slightly...

"Wind of the Southeast...Nine Slashes!"

He muttered to himself, and the next moment, the long sword in his hand suddenly slashed out.

It was only for a moment, but a strange fluctuation occurred, and the next moment...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Nine consecutive sounds rang out, and a dazzling burst of blade light instantly erupted in the air.

The sudden flash of the blade stunned Qin Fang.

His eyes widened.

It gradually became brighter and brighter...

"It's a success!"

"This is... feeling the wind?"

"The rhythm of the wind can actually trigger some kind of resonance of source energy..."

Qin Fang's eyes brightened completely.

...

And when Qin Fang unleashed this strike...

Old Rabbit was silently looking at the panel in front of him.

There is a line of text above.

Only it can see it.

"Another... hundred years have passed?"

It murmured.

I stared at the words on the panel and fell into deep thought.

Its expression was complex, sometimes expectant, sometimes worried.

Constantly changing.

Just then.

Another notification popped up.

[The guided individual, 'Qin Fang,' has successfully cultivated the first level of the 'Nine Slashes of Xun Wind' through the verification of the law fragments, taking 5 days, 16 hours, 21 minutes, and 37 seconds. Grade: Good+. Reward: 500 Contribution Points.]

The old rabbit's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up slightly.

It took five days, and they didn't come to see me even once. Have I succeeded in my cultivation?

The old rabbit gently exhaled.

Looking at the reviews.

It's just 'Good+'.

But that's not bad.

It's important to understand that this achievement is compared to countless people in countless worlds who have embarked on the path of the laws.

To receive a 'Good+' rating is already above the level of countless others.

After all, in such a vast world, there are many gifted individuals.

Putting aside other examples, Old Rabbit himself once mentored a student who, upon first encountering the laws, entered a state of complete meditation on the very first day and sensed source energy. This genius, having obtained the manual, mastered the first level of it within an hour…

And even such a genius only received a barely passing "Excellent" rating from the system panel...

That shows how strict this scoring system is.

"Five days...cultivated with the help of fragments of laws...I've managed to get this far, so my talent is quite good."

"But I want to become a god..."

After thinking for a moment, the old rabbit sighed softly and shook its head.

Then, he looked away and returned his gaze to the text he had just been reading.

"Three months from now..."

It stared at that line of text.

After a long while, it turned off the panel and looked up at the peaceful village outside.

For the first time, a sharp light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

...This is the last sanctuary for the Ribit tribe.

It couldn't allow this last piece of pure land to disappear as well...

"We need to get ready."

It thought about it, stood up, and walked towards the house.

A ripple spread, and it disappeared into the room...

...

Qin Fang was naturally unaware of everything Old Rabbit was facing.

He was excited for a long time after he successfully executed the first level of the 'Nine Slashes of Xunfeng' on his own.

Then they couldn't wait to consolidate it.

But he failed on his second attempt.

This stunned him for a moment, then he frowned.

After meditating intently for a while, the third experiment began...

success!

He let out a soft breath.

"The biggest disadvantage of the panel is that it is too stable. As for self-cultivation... its biggest disadvantage is that it is not very stable."

"Obviously, although I have learned the first level, I am not yet proficient in it, and it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't."

Just like Duan Yu...

Clearly, he still needs a lot of time to practice until his body completely memorizes this rhythm and amplitude, and he can unleash that strike with ease, only then can he be considered to have fully mastered it.

He calmed his excited emotions and began to cultivate diligently.

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

"It's completely stable!"

Qin Fang smiled, and then casually slashed.

A burst of light immediately erupted.

Nine blades of light instantly tore through the air.

Just as he landed, he unleashed another diagonal slash.

Nine beams of light burst forth as well...

The Xunfeng Nine Slashes sword technique is not bound by any particular posture; it can unleash nine sword beams in an instant!

"Moreover, this rhythm can also be applied to movement techniques..."

With that thought in mind, he took a step and instantly his figure flashed out like lightning, leaving nine zigzag trails in the air before appearing hundreds of meters away.

At first glance, it looks like teleportation!

But in reality, it was caused by him at an extremely high speed.

"I've mastered it completely. I can go to the village chief now and ask for the second level of swordsmanship."

He was thinking.

With a thought, he left the Upside-Down Cloud Realm and returned to the Mushroom House.

I just stepped outside and ran into a group of little rabbits.

"Qin Fang, Qin Fang!"

As soon as they saw Qin Fang, they hopped and skipped over, calling out his name.

Qin Fang smiled and greeted them familiarly in the Ribit language: "Toto, Little Nako...where are you headed?"

"We're going mushroom picking in the mountains. There's a bunch of candy mushrooms ripening over there today, so we're going to pick them. Qin Fang, do you want to come with us?"

The little white rabbit named Toto looked at Qin Fang expectantly with her ruby-like eyes.

Qin Fang smiled and patted the head of Toto, the little white rabbit that was just up to his waist: "I'm not going. I need to see your village chief's grandma about something."

"Oh, I see... Okay then, we'll go by ourselves."

"Qin Fang, we'll bring you some candy mushrooms later, they're really sweet!"

"Hmm, let's go see if we have any meat mushrooms... Qin Fang, isn't meat mushroom your favorite?"

The little rabbits enthusiastically surrounded Qin Fang, chattering away.

Qin Fang smiled and patted each of their heads, and they were all very happy.

Since the day of resurrection, Qin Fang has spent his days with the Ribite people, aside from cultivating, and he has begun to learn their language.

With the book given to him by the village chief and the control panel, he learned very quickly.

The pronunciation is still a bit unskilled and sounds strange.

But it no longer affects my ability to communicate with them.

...Indeed, when learning a new language, the environment is the most important factor.

After Qin Fang was able to communicate, the little rabbits liked to circle around him even more.

...They really enjoyed Qin Fang rubbing their heads.

This feeling, besides the physical comfort, also brings them a strong sense of joy, a feeling of being pampered.

...Qin Fang didn't know what to say for a moment.

We can only try our best to meet their needs.

After chatting with the rabbits for a while, they all swarmed up the mountain, and Qin Fang headed to the village chief's house.

I encountered quite a few grumpy rabbits on the way.

"Qin Fang, have you succeeded in your cultivation today?"

"Qin Fang, it's rare to run into you! Come to my house for dinner today!"

"Qin Fang!"

"Qin Fang!"

Qin Fang also greeted them with a smile.

This uncle, that aunt, this brother, that sister-in-law...

Although they were all rabbits, it was a bit difficult for Qin Fang to distinguish their facial features.

But after all, the patterns on the fur are somewhat different.

For example, Casa's face has white and black patterns; Maya's face is pure white, but there is a small black dot between her eyebrows, as if it were an embellishment...

They are all different.

If you pay attention, it's not hard to remember.

By now, Qin Fang knew that there were about 130 remaining members of the entire Ribit tribe, living in this pristine land.

...Old Rabbit said that the reproductive ability of the Ribit race was largely emasculated by the Multiverse Battle Domain, and it seems to be true.

Fortunately, the Rebit tribe does not have the concept of prohibiting marriage between close relatives, and they do not seem to have any concerns about genetic mutations caused by close reproduction... So although there are only about 130 of them, if their reproductive capacity recovers, they still have the opportunity to continue to grow.

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Fang had already arrived outside the village chief's house.

Looking up, I saw the village chief, his body hunched over, still poking at his hearth.

Sensing Qin Fang's gaze, it raised its head, smiled kindly at Qin Fang, and nodded.

"village head."

Qin Fang greeted him.

The village chief smiled and nodded: "Come in and sit down."

Qin Fang went inside and sat down on a small stool.

"I thought you would have come to see me eagerly two days ago... I didn't expect you to know to consolidate your position first. Not bad."

The village chief spoke with a smile.

Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, then blinked.

"Village chief, did you know that I mastered the first level two days ago?"

He didn't tell anyone.

The village chief chuckled, "I am your guide, and this responsibility was given to me by the Myriad Realms Battle Domain. So... how could I not know about your progress?"

Qin Fang suddenly realized.

It turns out to be the Battlefield of Myriad Realms.

Well, that's not surprising then.

...He has now basically accepted the 'omnipotent' nature of the Multiverse Battle Domain.

"You've come to ask for the second level of swordsmanship, haven't you?" the village chief asked.

Qin Fang nodded.

"Before we go any further, let me give you a reward for this stage."

The old rabbit said with a smile.

Qin Fang was taken aback.

"The rewards for this stage?"

This clearly surprised him.
