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.
Killua gave him a roll of his eyes.
Bisiji said: "Yeah, it's a pity that we can't unite here, otherwise the boss on the 80th floor would have a chance to defeat him."
The mysterious tower here does not have as many players as there are in the Sword Art Online world. The total number of players is still only 1,800, but they are all elite.
Unfortunately, it also includes various sub-races of the Dark Continent. There are only a few beings like Ant King Meruem. It is difficult to work together with human players, and there is even deep hostility.
It would be fine if they didn't attack each other, but it's impossible to work together to defeat the boss.
Jin nodded and shook his head: "It may not be possible to join forces. That Sensui Ninja... is just like Xiang. He is also exaggeratedly powerful. Before we find a way to break his holy light energy, the possibility of victory is zero."
"Holy Light Qi." When this term was mentioned, Bisji also had a headache: "That feeling of hard work... It's a pity that Mr. Netero is not here. Otherwise, if we study together, maybe we can develop a 'Holy Light Qi'."
Guang Nian'?"
"Hahaha..." Jin couldn't help but laugh a few times, and suddenly he was stunned: "Well, Ji Xing..."
…
Holy Light Qi is the ultimate fighting spirit that ordinary geniuses cannot master after a lifetime of practice. They refine their own Qi thousands of times to achieve a qualitative change, which is displayed with golden brilliance. It can be used to make Holy Steel Clothes to enhance one's attack power in all aspects.
And defense, extremely powerful.
When Sensui Ninja activated it with all his strength, half of the dark sky seemed to be illuminated, and the ground beneath his feet cracked unbearably!
Ji Xing is standing opposite such fairy water.
"Are you so enthusiastic as soon as we met?" He smiled and said: "In the past two years, I have used you as my training partner on average once a month. Is this the 30th time today? Although you are just a copy.
Mirror image, but I feel a little sorry for you, it’s time for you to get off work today!”
What answered him was a red magic pill.
The holy light fighting energy was highly condensed and formed into a red sphere. It was kicked by the immortal water ninja and smashed into Ji Xing's head like lightning.
Ji Xing turned slightly to one side, pushed and grasped with his mind energy, and rotated his body in the opposite direction, making the immortal water's spirit pills condense and not disperse, and he threw out the counterattack immortal water fiercely.
The red spirit pill passed through the afterimage of Xian Shui's body, and exploded into pieces in a distant mountain with a roar! At the same time, Xian Shui's body had been pressed to Ji Xing's side, and his slender and powerful right leg was wrapped in a holy steel jacket.
Kicked towards Ji Xing from the air!
Bang——
The legs and arms connected, and with a fiery muffled sound, the ground beneath them spread out in two directions like a flood.
Then Ji Xing's arm was entangled with golden thought energy. The next moment it lit up Ji Xing's whole body like a spark, and expanded wantonly, instantly suppressing the momentum of the immortal water!
This is one of the results of Ji Xing's two and a half years of practice, a pure and incomparable golden thought that is as pure as gold without any impurities!
With this thought, Ji Xing will not care about the past (forgetting the application skills of ordinary thoughts), and will not ask for the afterlife (completely losing the opportunity to form thoughts after death), and be the most powerful in the moment...!
Fighting with fists and feet.
Under the attack of the two people who turned into afterimages of each other, the earth was quickly destroyed!
In the previous 29 times, Ji Xing used the holy light thought to resist the immortal water, and used extraordinary physical skills to suppress the fairy water while increasing the intensity of the holy light thought, but this time it was different from before.
After a simple warm-up, the two distanced themselves apart, and the golden holy light suddenly stretched behind Ji Xing, forming a 'human' character!
The Tower of Mystery's maximum level limit of 10 has been overridden by Ji Xing time and time again.
At this moment, Ji Xing seemed to have transformed into a human being as huge as a mountain!
"Extraordinary Martial Arts - Right Fist!"
The horse steps forward and stabs forward with the right fist!
There was a rumbling sound, and Ji Xing's fist was forward. The pressure of the fist immediately condensed into a golden beam of light, flattening and compacting the land that was five meters wide, and crushing him into the immortal water in an instant!
At the first moment, Xian Shui crossed his arms to defend himself and sank his legs into the ground to relieve his strength.
In the second moment, an unparalleled force swirled the fairy water and the sand together.
At the third moment, the holy light energy on Xianshui's body began to flicker, and the invincible holy steel suit cracked and shattered like real armor!
Then blood gushed out from Xian Shui's mouth, and he was suppressed by the fist wind until he was one kilometer away!
"Two more punches are needed." Ji Xing flashed along the 'highway' he had just built.
A minute later, the 81st floor of the mysterious tower opened the door to Ji Xing!
