Over the past two and a half years, Ji Xing has been working hard to improve various skills.

Among them is blacksmithing, a skill that has a very high level due to the magic machine it has been mastered in the past. As long as you are familiar with the equipment and material properties of this world, you can reach the full level in two days by hammering a few hammers.

There are also skills like tailoring that I have never had any contact with before and require serious practice for half a month and a month.

With the guidance of the experience bar and Ji Xing's own extraordinary understanding, there are basically no obstacles in improving his skills. Skills such as carving can be practiced rapidly.

The relatively difficult things are things like fishing, gambling, and theft, because when practicing them, Ji Xing needs to completely suppress his own perception and break through purely with skills. Otherwise, the level will always be stuck near the extreme (level 5) and it will be difficult to move forward.

But it can be regarded as conquering step by step.

For example, regarding theft, Ji Xing was able to steal Kirito's wallet unknowingly with pure skill and pure strength. His finger dexterity has been greatly improved accordingly, and he will most likely be able to use it in the future.

In addition to more than a dozen skills that are already at full level in terms of strength, Ji Xing's total number of full-level skills has reached 77. In the Mysterious Tower, there can only be a maximum of 120 skill slots. Now there are only 120 skill slots.

43, expected to take another two years.

The practice was the same as before, but Ji Xing was a little undecided as to which ones to choose - although there were 360 ​​lines, carpenter was not an option. Skills like bricklayer were of little use.

How many weapons can you master more precisely?

Think about it.

With Asuna assisting and Ji Xing serving as chef, in just over half an hour, eight delicious and generous dishes were placed on the table.

Sitting at the table, attracted by the fragrance, Kirito and the others suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

When they first heard the shocking news, their first reaction was to come to Ji Xing for verification, but they didn't think about what they would do after the verification.

Raising an army to investigate? That doesn’t make sense.

Not only did Ji Xing not do anything to feel sorry for them, he even helped them a lot.

If it weren't for Ji Xing's "fighting", it's not certain whether they would be able to see the 60th floor at a glance, and many, many more people would have to be sacrificed.

But now it feels like the kind boss of the corner shop he often goes to suddenly tells them that he is Ultraman from the M78 Nebula, and has been secretly guarding your planet... It is both absurd and shocking at the same time.

Gotta be messy!

"I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that you would find out." At this time, Ji Xing said with a smile: "How about it, do you still dare to eat the food cooked by a foreigner like me?"

"...Brother Ji Xing, what are you talking about?" Mian Ji, a girl with light blue hair, shook her head and said, "I originally thought that my benefactor was a group of people, but I didn't expect that it was you alone."

She is a beneficiary of AE.

This girl was infected with HIV from birth because her mother had a massive hemorrhage during childbirth and used blood containing the virus. If she had not shown unparalleled swordsmanship in a virtual reality game used for external screening, she would have had the opportunity to enter the mysterious tower.

, and recovered under the treatment of Wuzi (Ai), and his life is probably over.

So after knowing that Ji Xing was responsible for the peaceful coexistence between Kiriko and Ai, she came here to thank Ji Xing. Later, she joined Kirito's team and became more familiar with Ji Xing than Suguha.

"Thank you, Brother Ji Xing, you gave me a second life." She solemnly thanked her again.

Ji Xing smiled and raised his hand to indicate no need.

When she opened the topic, Asuna also shook her head and followed up: "How can you not dare? Since the teacher's cooking skills have reached the level, it is not easy to have another meal from you. This time it is a free meal."

"Yes." Agil also said: "It's just... it's really unimaginable! The truth of the mysterious team that everyone has been speculating for three years is actually like this, and it has always been by our side!"

"So... the two books I read, the basics of swordsmanship, the basics of fighting, the basics of archery... All the similar teachings in the past three years were actually written and sold by Brother Ji Xing alone?" Kirito asked.

"Well, this is a self-summary, and I will also improve my teaching skills." Ji Xing said: "Let's eat first, and after dinner, let's do some activities."

Activities?

Kirito and Asuna's eyes lit up, and even Argo, who was eating secretly, hesitated with his chopsticks.

After the initial surprise and bewilderment, I have to say that most of it is now filled with curiosity - how strong is Ji Xing from other regions and other worlds? Can he write books after books covering various categories?

The instructional book that players regard as a treasure has pushed the mysterious tower to thirty floors in a short period of time by itself!

And where exactly is it so strong?

"Then let's get started..."

"Eat."

Ji Xing moved his chopsticks like a starting gun, and the atmosphere on the table instantly returned to its previous turbulent atmosphere.

After the meal, in the small courtyard in front of the building, Kirito, as the captain, got the opportunity to "activate" without hesitation and stood opposite Ji Xing.

Others were surrounding them, staring at the two people in the middle without blinking.

Although many aspects need to be considered in actual combat, as the only player who has defeated Toguro Ludi, Kirito can deservedly be called the strongest player. Compared with this "mysterious team" from another world, how powerful is he?

gap.

Will he be defeated instantly?

What kind of abilities will Ji Xing use?

Kirito took a deep breath, and knowingly activated his telekinesis to the extreme, holding the two swords, four illusory arms emerged.

His telekinesis ability is very unique, and his name is called 'Extreme Reaction'. He is born with a very powerful nerve reflex speed, and when he uses it to the extreme, there will be a gain based on the extreme of his reaction speed.

The general performance is the six-knife style. The eight-knife style can also be used, but it is difficult to control.

Ji Xing, on the other hand, just held an iron sword at an angle and gestured to Kirito: "Come on."

Kirito let out the deep breath he took.

'Two knives to attack, four knives to defend!'

Deciding on his strategy in an instant, Kirito's figure flashed in front of Ji Xing. The two arms in the middle drew swords, one to lift, one to slash, and the remaining four swords were ready for defense.

But the next moment, he saw a crescent moon hanging diagonally from the sky.

His body was frozen in place because he felt the cold iron sword pressing on his head. With more force, it could split his head open like a watermelon!

No reaction?

No, I didn't take precautions.

The speed and power of this slash were within my acceptable range, but... it happened to slip through the gaps in my four-handled sword defense?!

This is...what?

Not only Kirito, but also the four players in the strategy team, except for Argo who didn't realize how powerful he was, could see the beauty of the swordsmanship and showed dumbfounded expressions.

Guo, it’s really amazing?!

"Your swordsmanship is actually pretty good." Ji Xing's voice brought them back to reality: "Your improvement in less than six years is more significant than an average person's two lifetimes of hard work."

The current level of swordsmanship between Kirito and Ji Xing after experiencing the three worlds of Conan, Naruto, and Demon Slayer is almost the same. Although in those three worlds, only Ji Xing practiced swordsmanship in Demon Slayer, it is enough to prove that Kirito The excellence of human talent.

Of course, it's still far from enough. After entering the world of death, wouldn't you be dumbfounded by being slashed twice by old man Yamamoto?

"But you have taken a slight detour." Ji Xing added: "Before you understand how to use a knife, it does not necessarily mean that you will be stronger if you have more knives and more hands. You will use one knife to The strength of the six-handled sword has indeed been greatly improved, but the speed of improvement in swordsmanship has slowed down."

Kirito's four arms suddenly disappeared.

Is that so? Have I put too much experience into the six-sword style recently? So I can’t even understand the trajectory of Ji Xing’s sword?

He was overthinking this. Fighting under similar physical conditions, if Kirito could understand Ji Xing's swordsmanship, it would be better to hit him to death.

"Okay, now it's time to calm down and talk, who did you see in the cross-region points competition?"

…

Another mysterious tower, level 35.

"Hahaha, Ji Xing really was sucked into another 'zone' for some reason?"

Hearing the description of Xiaojie and others, Jin couldn't help laughing, shaking his head and saying: "It is indeed related to the divine characters. Will this tower attract all the beings who use the divine characters on the dark continent?"

At that time, Ji Xing used his Greedy Island to set up a large formation of the Divine Word, and also used the flying ant king Meluaim as the Divine Word transport officer to fly directly across the thousands of miles of sea, preparing to establish a stable transmission channel between the Dark Continent and the Hunter Continent. , what a genius idea and what a pioneering work.

But at that time, Ji Xing certainly could not have imagined that the divine character would be captured and attracted by this mysterious floating tower.

Kim Fulis didn’t expect it either.

He couldn't wait for Ji Xing's return, and couldn't wait for him. In the end, he had to board the Cajin Empire's ship and sailed for three full months, overcoming all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, before finally reaching the Dark Continent.

As a result, he was so excited that he didn't explore for long before he was sucked into this mysterious floating tower when he used the divine word.

This place does satisfy Jin's fantasy about the dark continent, but...it's only a simple version.

It's not that disasters are discounted, but they are split into various layers. In the dark continent, you never know what you will encounter when you take the next step, and what terrible trouble you will get into.

In this tower, although the things should still be those things, before boarding each floor, Jin can know in advance that in addition to monsters and monsters, there will be one to three weird troubles and precious treasures on this floor. He has done enough.

Various preparations.

It's a total benefit to everyone else.

It's both good and bad for him.

Continuing to ask Xiaojie and the others about the situation in another district, Jin showed a thoughtful expression: "Does the other party know the function of the 'Demon Sealing Thread'? It is obviously much weaker than our 'district'... If Ji Xing was not helping, that would be

It's really strange.

Forget it, just wait until you meet Ji Xing and communicate with him and it will be clear. Is Ji Xing’s strategy progress also at level 80? With the power of one person, he is worthy of it.”

"Hehe..." Xiaojie was laughing.
To be continued...
