Chapter 267 Countdown to Protection Period, Cultivation Improvement, Third Strike, Village Chief in Trouble
"Currently, the professional combat divisions of 37 cities have selected agents, and some frictions have occurred with the alien races in the process... but the intensity is still under control."
In the inverted cloud realm, Qin Fang relaxed and rested, but Lin Fan's figure was projected in front of him.
For the past month, Qin Fang has been in the God Realm instance, but thanks to 'internal communication', he has also been constantly monitoring and remotely controlling the situation outside.
The agent program is also progressing steadily.
Currently, thirty-seven cities have been brought under its control... and their stability is comparable to that of cities like Jin Dong City and Tie Ya City.
"Hmm, how's the Paradise Academy project progressing?"
"The academy's development is progressing smoothly, but the school districts still need to be newly built. Currently, only the academies in Tieya and Lingtai cities are in the final stages of completion. If nothing unexpected happens, they can officially open in a month or two."
Lin Fan answered.
Qin Fang nodded upon hearing this.
As the first cities to promote academies, Tieya and Lingtai were naturally the first to start building their school districts.
The construction process was accelerated, especially after Shen Changyuan became a member of the park.
However, it still took nearly a year and a half.
In another month or two, the Paradise Academy, which has been established for so long, will officially open for classes.
"Have you contacted all the teachers and such?" Qin Fang asked.
"Yes, there are specialists handling these matters, so there won't be any problems," Lin Fan nodded.
Qin Fang let out a soft breath and glanced at the panel... Now his daily passive income has reached 1200 reputation points.
During this time, although he was in the dungeon, the task system he set was still automatically issuing tasks, requiring members to break some dungeon records every day, which brought him nearly 10,000 reputation points every day.
Including the reputation points he hadn't used before, his reputation points have now reached a new high of over 600,000.
After chatting with Lin Fan for a couple more minutes, the call ended.
Qin Fang let out a soft breath, poured himself a cup of tea, but his eyes were gleaming.
The park's development is going smoothly, so he doesn't need to worry about it too much.
pity……
"Time..."
He murmured.
The protection period has at most a little over two years left.
If he fails to master the sixth strike of the Xunfeng Nine Slashes within two years, or if no other divine professions emerge on Earth... then all his current efforts will be in vain.
It makes no sense.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, put down his teacup, and walked to the side.
"The cultivation method is complete..."
He looked at his control panel.
The panel showed that his 'True Cultivation Level' had advanced from 'True Realm' to 'Spirit Realm'.
The source energy within the body has also successfully increased from 10 units to 100 units.
The energy army has grown stronger again, but at the same time... the once-transformed network has become 'fragile' in the process.
Therefore, he needs to hurry up and complete his 'second job change'.
Only then can we begin to study the first three levels of the Xunfeng Nine Cuts.
"After mastering the first three levels, go into actual combat to obtain the rewards for the next stage..."
A sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
He needs to be fast.
Because we have to race against time.
The path ahead is now clear; he must master the sixth strike within two years.
However, the Xunfeng Nine Cuts are more difficult than the previous one, and each one is dozens or even hundreds of times more difficult.
He has mastered the first strike, but he has not yet fully mastered the second strike.
To reach the sixth level of the sword technique within two years... you can imagine how difficult that would be.
Putting everything else aside, at least the current total amount of source energy and the level of his network are definitely insufficient to support his cultivation to the sixth level.
In other words, his cultivation method and meridian opening techniques will need to be updated at least several times before he can meet the most basic requirements for the sixth level of cultivation...
Qin Fang's eyes flickered.
Finally, he closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and began the second stage of meridian circulation...
...
As expected of the same lineage and origin of the Meridian Opening Method, the newly acquired technique is almost entirely based on the first level, only the source energy circuit is more complex.
However, because they were of the same lineage, Qin Fang quickly mastered it and began the second stage of meridian circulation.
It still starts with the Ren and Du meridians, and then expands to the other eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians.
Time slips away bit by bit.
The second transformation was far more complex than the first, and Qin Fang could clearly feel his meridians and body becoming stronger and stronger.
Muscles and genes are forged again by source energy during the process of opening up the meridians.
His physical form didn't seem to change much, but the strength of his bones, the resilience of his meridians, the strength of his muscles, the resilience of his skin... changed almost every day.
His weight also gradually increased without him realizing it.
After all, the density of bones and muscles is increasing.
But he himself felt his body becoming more and more agile and powerful.
With his back against the panel, he had an almost inexhaustible source of energy, so he had a different feeling almost every day.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
When the last meridian is fully strengthened, the "First Transformation of Meridian Opening" next to "True Cultivation" on the panel changes to "Second Transformation of Meridian Opening".
"I didn't expect that the second stage of meridian clearing would take a full two months?"
Qin Fang's expression turned somewhat grim, and he felt an increasing sense of urgency.
It took two months just to clear the meridians... and what about cultivation?
He doesn't have much time left!
...During this period, he specifically asked Lin Fan to pay attention to the exact time when the career panel appeared, preferably down to the minute.
The final answer is... the job will arrive on December 7, 2237.
In other words, December 7, 2337, will be the official end of the protection period.
And now, it is May 4, 2335.
In other words...
There are 2 years, 7 months, and 3 days left until the official end of the Earth protection period...
The second round of meridian clearing took two months.
The later parts become increasingly difficult; how much time will it take?
Qin was in a state of urgency.
After completing the second stage of meridian opening, he immediately began formally practicing the second stage of the Xunfeng Nine Slashes.
...
The second turn is much more difficult than the first turn.
It's obvious that the first job advancement triples the power, the second job advancement triples it again... that's a total of nine times the base power!
Just thinking about it makes you realize how difficult it is.
His neural reaction speed has improved, and he can clearly feel the increase in frequency... but feeling it and being able to do it are two different things.
He had tried it ten times before, and he probably only succeeded once or twice.
It all comes down to taking risks.
Now, he needs to master the second level completely.
...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Qin Fang swung his sword repeatedly in the Upside-Down Cloud Realm, slashing and hacking with astonishing speed, searching for the rhythm and movement of the second level.
Failure after failure, and occasional success.
Once he succeeds, he will stop and think carefully.
Then he swung his sword again...
The powerful source energy and the strong physique brought by the second-stage meridian opening made him feel that the difficulty of the second strike had obviously decreased.
Once you grasp the rhythm and memorize it thoroughly, you can master it completely in no time.
Swinging the knife again and again...
finally.
Four hours after the start of the practice...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! ...
Qin Fang charged forward, unleashing 45 streaks of light in an instant...
Yes, 45 questions.
Because, after his physique was improved through the second stage of meridian opening, his base speed has reached 5 strikes per second!
The Xunfeng Nine Cuts is three times the original.
One slash is three times the original value, two slashes are nine times the original value!
It reached a terrifying 54 cuts!
After one strike, Qin Fang lunged forward and unleashed another burst of blade light.
Another $54...
A smile appeared on Qin Fang's face.
It's done!
The second strike, complete mastery!
But at that very moment...
With a 'click' sound.
He was taken aback.
Looking down, he saw that the long sword in his hand had instantly developed numerous cracks.
While Qin Fang was still somewhat astonished, crackling sounds filled the air as the cracks spread. In just a moment, with a loud 'whoosh,' it shattered into pieces.
Qin Fang was stunned for a moment.
...The long sword in his hand is an epic weapon!
It has a very powerful life-steal skill.
And now...
Destroyed?
He blinked, looking at the hilt of the knife that was left in his hand.
A moment later, he frowned and threw away the hilt of the knife.
Then a flash of white light appeared in his hand, and another long sword appeared.
"I didn't feel anything was wrong when I was using the panel, but now that my cultivation level is getting stronger, I feel that this weapon is becoming increasingly unwieldy..."
It's too light.
Although Xunfeng Nine Slashes is a fast sword, since it is a weapon, it is better to have some feel in your hand.
But now Qin Fang felt that each of those epic longswords in the package was so light!
It felt like straw in my hand.
"Perhaps... there are weapons used by true practitioners of the laws?"
Qin Fang's eyes flickered.
But after a moment, he shook his head.
"These are unimportant... I should hurry up and practice the third slash."
"After completing the third strike, I'll go into actual combat... to obtain the resources for the next stage of cultivation."
Qin Fang thought to himself.
Then, he began to try to practice the third strike...
He had already memorized the secret manual for the third strike perfectly.
Following the manual's description, the techniques for generating muscle and source energy were used to try and find the 'frequency' of the third strike...
...
[You are now in the 'Interview Space' at 23:59:00. You will be automatically removed from the interview space in one minute. Please be prepared.]
The panel displayed another notification, startling Qin Fang from his reverie.
He came to his senses, let out a soft breath, and with a thought, left the Upside-Down Cloud Realm.
Sitting in the mushroom house, he frowned.
"This third strike is so difficult... It seems that I won't be able to find a clue on my own anytime soon."
He thought to himself, and then, with a sudden thought, he looked at the panel.
The list of professional skills is densely packed.
It looks like I'll have to try to comprehend it again through fragments of laws...
Qin Fang pondered this and began researching which skills to choose for which profession.
"A skill that increases damage by nine times... a damage multiplier of nine times can only be an awakening skill..."
Qin Fang's first choice was naturally the 'Swift Wind Sword' from before, since the first slash was learned and mastered based on an active skill of that class.
After taking a look at the awakening skill of this epic class, Qin Fang frowned and finally shook his head.
Inappropriate.
This skill's awakening skill is mostly passive, and its effect is to unleash an extremely powerful strike...
It is definitely very strong in the professional system.
However, it doesn't fit the third strike.
Qin Fang had no choice but to start searching again.
Fortunately, there are enough professionals for Qin Fang to choose from.
Just as he was making his choice, he suddenly heard a noise outside the door. He was slightly startled, subconsciously looked up, and then walked out of the Mushroom House.
Then he saw several grumpy rabbits walking out of the village with heavy expressions, whispering something in the Ribit language, but they were too far away for Qin Fang to hear clearly.
...After three months, Qin Fang had completely mastered the language of the Ribit tribe.
But judging from their expressions, it seemed like something big had happened.
"Brother Casa."
Qin Fang called out to Casa, one of them.
Kasa was frowning and talking to his companion when he heard the greeting. He turned around, saw Qin Fang, paused for a moment, and then nodded: "Brother Qin."
"What happened? What's going on here..." Qin Fang asked, frowning.
Kasa's expression turned somewhat grave as he said, "The village chief is injured. Let's go to the other side of the mountain to retrieve some things."
What?
Qin Fang looked surprised.
The village chief is injured?
That's a god!
And doesn't it stay in the village every day? How could it get injured?
"What happened?"
He quickly pressed for more information.
"The village chief didn't say the specifics, but don't worry, he's fine... I'll talk to you later, the village chief is waiting, I'll go over first."
After saying that, he led a few Ribit tribesmen out of the village without saying anything more to Qin Fang.
Qin Fang looked astonished. After standing there for a moment, he decisively headed towards the village chief's house.
Soon they arrived at the village chief's house and saw a group of rabbits squatting near the village chief's house. The village chief sat at the door with a kind expression, patting the heads of the little guys.
Some Rebit women surrounded her, whispering something to her.
But when Qin Fang saw the village chief, he gasped...
At this moment, the village chief's chest was wrapped diagonally with a gauze that was almost completely wrapped around his body, and blood was seeping out from the gauze.
He's really hurt!
Moreover, it doesn't look light!
Qin Fang's expression turned serious, and he quickly went up to them.
Then they heard the village chief comforting the person next to him: "It's nothing, just a minor injury, you won't die... Okay, Sasha, don't cry, Grandma Village Chief is alright, isn't she?"
Many of the little rabbits were crying, and the village chief comforted them.
Qin Fang's arrival immediately attracted the attention of Xiao Tu and the others.
"Qin Fang, Qin Fang is here!"
"Qin Fang, waaaaah, Grandma Village Chief is injured, she's bleeding so much..."
"Qin Fang..."
In just three months, the little ones have come to regard Qin Fang as their good friend, and many of the little rabbits cry when they see him.
Qin Fang quickly comforted them, patting their heads repeatedly, and then went to the door.
The neighbor, Sister Maya, had a worried look on her face. When she saw Qin Fang, she nodded to him.
"village head……"
Qin Fang approached the village chief, his expression grave, and spoke in a low voice.
The village chief looked up, saw Qin Fang, and gave him a kind smile: "You've arrived?"
"What is this...?"
"I'll tell you later," Old Rabbit interrupted him.
Qin Fang was stunned, but in the end he could only nod.
As more and more people heard the news, almost the entire village came to the village chief's door.
Clearly, they all understood what the village chief meant to their village.
The village chief smiled and comforted them.
But their expressions were clearly somewhat serious...
"This time, the injuries are more severe than those five years ago..."
Qin Fang overheard the worried whispers of the grumpy rabbits.
Qin Fang's mind raced.
Five years ago?
Five years ago, was the village chief also injured?
His brows were furrowed.
