Chapter 7

6. Powerful Skill

The Wind-Breath Sword felt heavy in his hand.

Li Ang had been adventuring for many years and had a good physique, but he had very few opportunities to use a sword, so he spent some time looking for a way to exert force.

He slashed with the sword, and the experience didn't increase.

Is it wrong?

He walked to a tree and slashed the sword on the tree, but the experience still didn't increase.

Does this not count as a weapon slash? It seems the point is not on the weapon. Although the system is convenient, it cannot be lazy.

The so-called "qualified weapon slash," Li Ang understood the power theory and knew that it was necessary to bring magic power into the slash.

In this world, magic power interferes with the world. Spellcasters are the part of people with strong spirituality, relying on pulling enough magic power to release spells. People with weak spirituality will practice physical professions, which require less magic power.

However, Li Ang is now a Rank 1 Warrior, belonging to the kind who has just started in the Mortal Realm.

In the Mortal Realm, the practice of physical professions mainly relies on magic power to strengthen oneself, and Rank 1 belongs to the beginner stage, not even knowing how to use it, only relying on instinct to apply it to action strengthening.

How should this be done?

Li Ang wanted to be lazy again. He mobilized magic power in the way of a spellcaster and then slashed.

Well, it doesn't count. Sure enough, he has to be down-to-earth.

He tried to recall the things he learned at the Warrior Hall ten years ago. Choosing a Warrior was because it could be seen as the foundation of all melee professions.

At that time, he used the money he earned from part-time jobs to sign up, and spent another month standing on stakes and waving a wooden sword.

Finally, under the guidance of the instructor, he used a real weapon for assessment. After passing, he was told that he was a qualified Rank 1 Warrior.

Because he used his first money for learning, but only learned how not to hurt himself with a weapon, he felt cheated afterwards, so his memory was quite clear.

What was the standard defined at that time?

It seems that his breathing and exertion were required to reach a certain level.

Thinking of this, Li Ang held the Wind-Breath Sword, adjusted his breathing and stance, and calmed down to feel the muscles of his arms and waist and back.

Swinging a sword requires muscles to exert force in sequence and transmit power to the sword...

After adjusting roughly, Li Ang slashed out a sword seriously.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as the Wind-Breath Sword was swung, air currents surged around him, and the formed wind seemed to have a will, gently and powerfully pushing his arm, amplifying the momentum of this sword.

The grass in front was split in two by the sword wind, and many flower spikes were broken and flying everywhere.

【Practiced Profession: Warrior】

【Rank: 1. Next Rank: 25/100 Experience】

Got it, got it.

Sure enough, by relying on a qualified slash, the experience of the Warrior profession increased.

Since he had a sword, the matter of looking for mines was thrown behind his head for the time being, and Li Ang began to practice seriously.

As long as he slashed a sword in a qualified way, the experience could be added by 1 point.

But this sword was not qualified every time. After all, he was a spellcaster, and he felt tired after practicing for an hour, needing to rest before trying again.

However, this process of becoming stronger bit by bit in a down-to-earth way, with a clear progress mark, made Li Ang feel a trace of refreshment even though his arms were sore.

When he came back to his senses, the trees at the junction of the grass and the forest suffered. Although Li Ang tried his best not to cut them down, many trunks were scarred.

Because he saw the experience increase, he was looking forward to the feeling of warrior advancement, and he was a little too excited.

"Fortunately, this is an uninhabited wilderness, and there is no shortage of trees, otherwise I would have been charged with the crime of destroying ecology by environmentalists."

There are all kinds of people in the many airspaces of the Newbis world. Some seem to live in future cities, and some still retain primitive lifestyles. There is no shortage of extreme environmentalists here.

Most of the day passed, and at dusk, Li Ang paused and stopped practicing.

He heard the system's prompt sound.

【Practiced Profession: Warrior】

【Rank: 1. Next Rank: 75/100 Experience】

【Obtain Rank 1 Warrior Skill: Strong Physique】

Actually learned a new skill?

Before watching Zoey's panel, he noticed that she also had this skill, but every time she appeared, there was no time to consider this.

He knew that although the practice of melee professions would bring physical growth, it did not mean that everyone could become fierce. Only a part of people's physique would transcend the racial limitations and climb to a new level.

Perhaps they were the ones who obtained "Strong Physique." In the past, Li Ang didn't have a panel and didn't know that this was also a skill.

【Skill: Strong Physique】

【Activation Method: Passive】

【After tempering and repeated magic reinforcement, the mortal flesh has crossed the barrier】

Feeling the hot current surging in his body, Li Ang exhaled, clenched his fists, and power came from the muscles and bones of his palms.

He gripped the hilt of the Wind-Breath Sword tightly and slashed forward. In an instant, the trunk in front was split into two, and the powerful slash pushed the trunk a short distance before it began to tilt toward him.

Avoiding the fallen trunk, Li Ang smiled.

The system is really powerful.

In Newbis, professional practice wants to advance, relying on hard training to familiarize with driving magic power, and learning how to drive magic power more deeply in the moment of inspiration, which counts as advancement.

And skills are the professional techniques mastered in this process.

A small number of skills can be learned through others' teaching, but the opportunities to learn good skills are very few.

As a Rank 9 Spellcaster, Li Ang had only mastered Spirituality Affinity, Spellcraft Writing, and Multi-Spellcraft as extra skills.

These three skills he worked hard to get have very strong operability and use depth.

He has always been proud of this.

But now, as he learned skills by obtaining professional experience, he felt a sense of loss, but overall he was very happy.

Li Ang jumped on the spot, feeling the lightness of his body.

The feeling brought by this improvement is similar to his use of full-body spirituality to strengthen spells. The range of Strong Physique is much lower, but fortunately, it is always resident.

Practicing until night fell, the experience was 90/100, just one step away, but Li Ang really couldn't lift the sword.

His whole body was sore, but he was satisfied.

Returning to his house, Li Ang took out some collected Calm Flowers.

Their spirituality is to soothe pain and assist healing.

Li Ang strengthened their spirituality, and the surface of the small white flowers glowed with green light. He then performed "Extraction" and "Infusion," and the healing spirituality inside the flowers was introduced into his body by him and began to take effect.

In the coolness and soothing of his whole body, he fell asleep directly.

Nothing happened all night, and early the next morning, Li Ang was woken up by hunger.

He practiced sword too much last night and was too tired to eat dinner. But his body needed to replenish energy, and now it was protesting solemnly.

Picking up the travel bread that had become harder and gnawing on it, Li Ang began to miss the exquisite meals in the Holy City restaurants: red yam stewed with earth dragon meat, salt-baked wasteland beast legs, cheesecake made with griffin eggs, and poured with craft syrup.

Too lazy to catch fish, and it didn't taste good. Leaving Satutus Island early could allow him to eat good food early.

Shaking off the bread crumbs on his body, Li Ang decided to set off for the mine point.

Although he didn't urgently need an iron sword, he still planned to try the system's equipment manufacturing on the island.

Because the exploration degree reached the standard, the system map marked the merchant's location, among which there was a blacksmith shop, where he could borrow tools.

Li Ang opened the door and was hit in the chest.

The girl covered her bridge of the nose and took a few steps back, looking up at him aggrievedly.

"It's you again?"

"Yesterday, what method did you use to stop the wind? Is it sorcery?" the girl asked.

After a night, her panic and helplessness had all become things of the past.

This guy, is she an elementary school student who talks like nothing happened after a fight?

Li Ang didn't answer her directly, just closed the house door and walked toward the outside of the forest.

The girl followed with small steps.

"Yesterday, what method did you use to stop the wind? Is it sorcery?"

She asked again.

"It's magic."

"Ah, so that's magic. Mom said it before... So are you a magician?"

"A magician is a researcher specializing in magic. There are other professions in the entire sky that can use magic."

"Entire sky? Profession?"

The girl was like a curious little cat, following closely behind.

It seems there is no end to it.

Li Ang sighed and stood still, looking at the girl.
