Powerful Skills\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind-Breath Sword felt heavy in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon had adventured for many years and his physique was not bad, but he had very few opportunities to use a sword, so he spent some time finding the right way to exert force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung the sword, but his experience did not increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that not right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to a tree and slashed the blade against it, but the experience still did not rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does this not count as a weapon slash? It seems the focus is not on the weapon. Although the system is convenient, it does not allow for cutting corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding a \"qualified weapon slash,\" Leon understood the theory of force and knew it required imbuing the slash with magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, magic interferes with the world; spellcasters are those with stronger spirituality who rely on drawing sufficient magic to cast spells. Those with weaker spirituality practice physical professions, which require less magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Leon was currently a Tier 1 Warrior, the type who had just entered the realm of mortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mortal realm, physical professions primarily use magic to strengthen themselves, but Tier 1 is just the beginning; he could not even utilize it properly and could only rely on instinct to apply it to strengthening his movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should he do this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon wanted to slack off one more time, so he gathered magic in the way a spellcaster would and then slashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, that does not count; as expected, one must be down-to-earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to recall what he had learned at the Warrior Hall ten years ago; he chose the Warrior profession because it could be seen as the foundation for all melee professions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, he used money he had saved from working to sign up, and spent another month standing in stances and swinging a wooden sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, under the guidance of an instructor, he took an assessment using a real weapon, and after passing, he was told he was a qualified Tier 1 Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had used his first earnings for that training, yet only learned how not to injure himself with a weapon, he felt cheated afterward, so the memory remained quite clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the standard defined back then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to require his breathing and force exertion to reach a certain level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Leon held the Wind-Breath Sword, adjusted his breathing and stance, and calmed his heart to feel the muscles in his arms, waist, and back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swinging a sword requires muscles to exert force in sequence and transmit that power to the sword...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After adjusting roughly, Leon earnestly slashed out with the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he did not expect was that as soon as the Wind-Breath Sword began to swing, air currents surged around him; the formed wind seemed to have a will of its own, gently yet powerfully pushing his arm and amplifying the force of his slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meadow in front of him was split in two by the sword wind, and many flower spikes were severed, flying everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Practiced Profession: Warrior]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: 1. Next Tier: 25\u002F100 Experience]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, by relying on a qualified slash, the experience for the Warrior profession increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had a sword, the matter of finding ore was temporarily cast to the back of his mind, and Leon began to practice earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he slashed a qualified strike, he could gain 1 point of experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this strike was not qualified every time; after all, he was a spellcaster, and after practicing for an hour, he felt fatigue and needed to rest before trying again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this process of becoming stronger step by step in a down-to-earth manner, with a clear progress indicator, gave Leon a sense of satisfaction even though his arms were sore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he came to his senses, the trees at the boundary between the meadow and the forest had suffered; although Leon tried his best not to cut them down, many trunks were covered in scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was watching his experience rise, he was looking forward to the feeling of advancing as a Warrior, and his excitement was slightly excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a good thing this is an uninhabited wilderness with no shortage of trees, otherwise I might be accused of destroying the ecology by nature conservationists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many airspaces of the Nubis world contain all sorts of people; some seem to live in future cities, while others retain primitive lifestyles, and there is no shortage of extreme environmentalists among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day passed, and by evening, Leon paused and stopped his practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard the system's notification sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Practiced Profession: Warrior]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: 1. Next Tier: 75\u002F100 Experience]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Obtained Tier 1 Warrior Skill: Strong Physique]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually learned a new skill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when looking at Zoe's panel, he noticed she also had this skill, but every time she appeared, he never had time to consider it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that while training in melee professions brings an increase in physique, it does not mean everyone can become incomparably fierce; only a portion of people's physiques will transcend racial limitations and ascend to a new level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they are the ones who obtained \"Strong Physique.\" In the past, Leon did not have a panel and did not know this also counted as a skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill: Strong Physique]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Activation Method: Passive]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Through tempering and repeated magic reinforcement, the mortal flesh has crossed the barrier]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the hot current surging through his body, Leon exhaled, clenched his fists, and felt power radiating from the tendons and bones of his palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped the hilt of the Wind-Breath Sword tightly and slashed forward; in an instant, the tree trunk in front was split into two, and the powerful strike pushed the trunk a short distance before it began to topple toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dodging the falling trunk, Leon smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system is truly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Nubis, to advance in professional training, one must rely on arduous training to become familiar with controlling magic, and learn more profound methods of magic control in the moment of enlightenment; only then does it count as an advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And skills are the professional techniques mastered during this process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small number of skills can be learned through the instruction of others, but the opportunities to learn good skills are few and far between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Tier 9 Spellcaster, the extra skills Leon had mastered were only Spiritual Affinity, Spell Writing, and Multiple Spellcasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three skills he had worked hard to obtain all had strong operability and were quite deep in their usage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always been proud of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, having learned a skill just by gaining professional experience, he felt a sense of loss, yet overall he was still very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon jumped in place, feeling the lightness of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling brought by this improvement was similar to when he used his full spirituality to strengthen spells; the magnitude of Strong Physique was much lower, but fortunately, it was permanently active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time night fell, his experience was 90\u002F100, just one step away, but Leon truly could not lift the sword anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body was sore, but he was satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to his room, Leon took out some Calming Flowers he had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their spirituality was to soothe pain and assist in healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon strengthened their spirituality, and the surface of the small white flowers glowed with a faint green light; he then performed \"Extraction\" and \"Infusion,\" and the healing spirituality inside the flowers was introduced into his own body, where it began to take effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the cooling and soothing sensation throughout his body, he fell straight asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night passed without incident, and the next morning, Leon was woken up by hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had practiced with his sword too much the night before and was too tired to eat dinner. His body, however, needed to replenish energy and was now protesting sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gnawing on the travel bread that had become even harder, Leon began to miss the exquisite meals at the Holy Capital's restaurants: red yam stewed with Earth Dragon meat, salt-baked Wasteland Beast leg, cheesecake made from Griffin eggs, all drizzled with craft syrup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was too lazy to go catch fish, and besides, it did not taste good; leaving Satus Island sooner meant he could eat good food sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking off the breadcrumbs from his body, Leon decided to head toward the mining site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was not in urgent need of an iron sword, he still intended to try the system's equipment manufacturing on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his exploration level met the requirements, the system map marked the merchant's location, and there was a blacksmith shop there where he could borrow tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon opened the door and was bumped into by someone head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl clutched her pert nose and stepped back a few paces, looking up at him with a grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's you again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye-yesterday, what method did you use to make the wind stop? Was it sorcery?\" the girl asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a night, her panic and helplessness had all become past smoke and clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this person an elementary school student who talks to you the next day as if nothing happened after an argument?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon did not answer her directly; he just closed the door and walked toward the outside of the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl followed behind with small steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesterday, what method did you use to make the wind stop? Was it sorcery?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, so that was magic, Mom said... so are you a mage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mage is a researcher who specializes in magic; there are other professions in the whole sky that can use magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whole sky? Professions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl was like a curious kitten, following step by step, refusing to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed there was no end to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon sighed and stood still, looking at the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>",1668,"2026-06-21T01:23:38.712Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","86cfb90637a74155ff9a2f55f0467b3e6ba5c1bc25780d3b1fbb96b370f63515","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-8","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-6",496,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-cover.jpg"]
