Chapter 18: Advanced Blade Arts, Mighty Blade Qi 《Seeking flowers!!!》

"You killed a leader-level beast 【Gray Wolf King】 and gained 500 experience points!"

"Your 【Intermediate Blade Arts】 (LV. 9) proficiency +100, current proficiency 100/9000!......"

"Due to your talent 【Hundredfold Growth】, you gained extra growth during this process, 【Intermediate Blade Arts】 proficiency +10000, current proficiency 10100/9000!"

"Congratulations! Your skill 【Intermediate Blade Arts】 proficiency is full, successfully breaking through to 【Advanced Blade Arts】!"

"Congratulations! In the process of breaking through to 【Advanced Blade Arts】, your Might +3!"

"Congratulations! In the process of comprehending Blade Qi, you have comprehended Blade Qi!"

"Congratulations! In the process of comprehending Blade Qi, your Might +2!"

……

Accompanied by the sounding of the game prompt, surprise immediately appeared in Su Li's eyes.

He hadn't expected that killing a wolf king would directly grant 100 points of proficiency.

Under the bonus of the Hundredfold Growth talent, an additional 10000 points of proficiency were added.

It directly elevated his Intermediate Blade Arts to Advanced.

He once again felt a hot current strengthening his body.

Not only that.

Su Li also felt a force within his body stirring.

Subconsciously, he wrapped this force around his coarse iron long blade and slashed forward.

A streak of black light mixed with a line of snow instantly burst forth, sweeping toward the remaining gray wolves in the vicinity.

Boom!

In almost an instant, it had forcibly sliced several gray wolves into two halves!

"Is this Blade Qi? So strong!"

Su Li was somewhat excited.

He hadn't expected that after raising Blade Arts to the Advanced level, he would obtain such a powerful ability.

This Blade Qi could not only increase power but also expand his attack range.

It directly increased his combat effectiveness by more than one or two times.

This was something the Logging skill could not compare to at all.

"If I were to raise Blade Arts up another tier, I wonder what the scenery would be like!"

Su Li thought to himself. Having tasted the sweetness brought by Blade Qi, he naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and raise his Blade Arts skill to a higher level.

However……

Next, he encountered the same problem as with the Logging skill.

Previously, after the Logging skill reached the Master tier, he could no longer gain proficiency by felling ordinary trees.

Now, the Blade Arts skill was the same.

Merely reaching the Advanced level felt like hitting a ceiling; even killing gray wolves yielded no proficiency at all.

"You killed a gray wolf and gained 20 experience points!"

"Due to your Blade Arts skill being too high... the strength of the target killed is too low, your Blade Arts skill cannot gain growth!"

That was how the game prompted him.

Fine!

This left Su Li very depressed. If even killing gray wolves couldn't grant proficiency, what other beasts could he find in the mountains to improve his Blade Arts skill?

The Gray Wolf King?

He feared that even if he searched the entire mountain forest, he wouldn't find many beasts of that level.

With no other choice, Su Li had to rest on the spot for a while before making further plans.

While resting, he took the opportunity to check his current character panel.

【Name】: Su Li

【Identity】: Lord

【Profession】: Militia

【Level】: LV. 14

【Attributes】: Command 5, Might 23, Intelligence 8, Politics 8

【Skills】: Master Logging (LV. 1), Advanced Blade Arts

【Trait】: ★★Arm Strength (Significantly increases strength, melee weapon slashing damage increased by 30%)

【Talent】: Hundredfold Growth

After grinding monsters yesterday and today.

His level had risen from the original level 1 to level 14.

His Might attribute had also risen from the original 13 points to 23 points.

Even his other four-dimensional attributes—Command, Intelligence, and Politics—had seen an increase of one or two points.

It seemed that character leveling also granted corresponding attribute increases.

It was just that the magnitude was not large.

It should be related to the growth of his own profession.

Militia was almost the lowest-tier profession among all troop types.

Even after reaching level 14, there were only a few points of attribute bonuses.

Now that killing ordinary beasts could no longer grant Blade Arts proficiency, Su Li couldn't be bothered to waste time grinding monsters.

He gathered all the killed beasts into food units.

It is worth mentioning that he harvested a special material from the Gray Wolf King: 【Tough Beast Tendon】 (★).

This material could be used to craft a good bow through forging.

However, forging required a Blacksmith Shop to be unlocked.

Before upgrading the territory, he could not build a Blacksmith Shop.

Thus, Su Li began searching for iron ore in the mountain forest.

He wanted to obtain some iron blocks to upgrade his territory.

Perhaps he hadn't washed his face before going out, but he searched for a long time and found nothing.

Instead, he discovered a place with a large number of human footprints.

This made Su Li stop in his tracks.

In such a mountain forest, the appearance of so many footprints could only mean two possibilities.

The first possibility: other players had brought their teams to this mountain forest to grind monsters and gather resources.

The second possibility: these were the indigenous people of this Three Kingdoms world.

Regardless of which one it was, it was worth following the tracks to take a look.
