Early morning.

[Grand Town], a wilderness area.

[Gran no Mori].

……

A cool morning mist slowly spreads through the forest.

Every now and then, there will be bursts of high-pitched bird calls.

If you are an adventurer who frequents this area.

It only takes one sound to tell that it is the cry of the [Iron-beaked Bird].

This avian creature is extremely aggressive and has an unusually irritable temperament.

As soon as an adventurer comes into view, they will actively launch a rough attack.

Their beaks, as strong and sharp as the name suggests.

At this moment.

A muscular iron-beaked bird swoops rapidly among the leaves.

And its target is the young man who appeared in front of it.

The iron-beaked bird bared its teeth and claws, and raised its beak like an iron sword in a grand manner.

Like thunder, he rushed towards each other.

It is extremely fast in the dive state, and in the blink of an eye, it can stab the target and instantly hit the effect of [Breaking Defense].

In short-

This blow will hurt!

Many innocent players who don't know about the creatures of the Ironbeak Bird are often caught off guard by the sudden slaughter of them from the shadows.

If the amount of blood is not healthy enough, it will even be directly [severely injured], or even [death], and the corpse will be in the forest.

And this scene.

No matter who sees it, it will sweat for the young teenager.

And yet—

Just at the moment when the iron-beaked bird was about to stab the young man.

Boom!

The other party drew his sword.

A sharp silver sword light flashed out from the scabbard.

Cha!

The iron-beaked bird in mid-air was directly slashed!

[-362]

The damage value bursts out.

At the same time, this sword also played a short-lived special effect-

Vertigo!

The [vertiginous] iron-beaked bird looks like a dragonfly with broken wings, and like a headless fly.

Bang!

A bang.

Suddenly lost control of his balance and hit his head directly on a nearby tree trunk -

He's dead.

The young man retracted his sword lightly and walked away in the other direction.

……

[Ding!] ]

[You kill Lv9 Iron Beak Bird x1]

[You gained EX +60]

[You have gained bonus experience: EX+8]

[You have obtained: Hardened Beak x1]

[……]

"It's kind of boring."

"It seems that [the iron-beaked bird] is nothing more than that."

Lu Qingge shook his head and sighed helplessly in his heart.

The breeze in the forest blows through the trees, gently blowing the grass and trees.

The unknown sound of insects is singing about summer.

Today is the second week after graduation.

It is also a day when the road is light and singing, and the brush [iron beak bird] begins to brush until it is greasy.

Within [Gran no Mori].

[Iron-beaked bird] is basically the most advanced and difficult kind of monster to deal with.

Other words.

From now on, the monsters that [Gran Forest] can farm have basically been brushed all over by Lu Qingge.

It would be rude to continue brushing.

The sword light that Lu Qingge had just slashed out was called [Juhe Gangqi Slash].

It was one of the new skills he unlocked after graduating.

[Skill: Juhe Gangqi Slash]

[Type: Action Skill]

[Details.]

Romance: Once you've mastered this skill, you'll be able to launch a surprise attack on your opponent in an instant and by surprise! ]….

[Effect 1: Quickly draw your sword and unleash the skill "Gang Qi Slash].] ]

[Effect 2: There is a high probability of "stunning" the opponent.] ］

[……]

Yes.

[Juai Gang Qi Slash] is another newly unlocked skill form of [Gang Qi Slash].

After graduating, Lu Qingge received a large number of bounties and [Experience Books].

Winina left all the [experience books] to Lu Qingge.

And then for the rest of the bounty, she only took about forty percent.

Because the 20,000-character strategy manuscript was all written by Lu Qingge alone.

In Winina's opinion, Lu Qingge's contribution is obviously much more than herself.

Therefore, Lu Qingge's share should be more than hers.

It has to be said.

The [Bounty Order] of Grand Town this time is indeed unprecedentedly high.

Don't say anything else.

This time, the [Bounty Order], just the [Experience Book], almost directly emptied more than half of the inventory in Grand Town.

As a result, Lu Qingge's [experience pool] also soared quite happily.

With the experience of this wave.

Now Lu Qingge has raised all his skills to lv20.

And when [Gangqi Slash] was raised to lv20, he received a new system prompt.

[Ding!] ]

[You have already had an epiphany of the second-order state of the Gang Qi Slash, are you advanced?] ]

[XP required to advance: 30000]

[……]

When he saw this news, Lu Qingge felt a little surprised.

In fact, as early as when he mastered [Thundering Gang Qi Slash], Lu Qingge had a guess.

He guessed that on the basis of [Thundering Gang Qi Slash], [Gang Qi Slash] might have a higher level of advancement.

Unexpectedly, he really guessed it.

It's not even just [Gangqi Slash].

[Deliberate Gale Fist], [Mind Qi Retaliation], and [Eye of Insight] in his skill slot...... can unlock new forms!

The bad news is that their third form also costs [XP] to unlock it, and it's expensive......

Although this wave of light songs has earned a lot of [experience points], it is still a bit difficult if all of them have to be [advanced].

So in the end, Lu Qingge chose to accompany him the longest [Gangqi Chop].

So, after successfully reaching the advancement, Lu Qingge unlocked this [Juhegang Qi Slash].

In addition, Lu Qingge also raised the level of [Lv3 Skill Tree] to Lv4.

This time, he gained two more newly unlocked skills.

[……]

[Skill: Wind Walk]

[Type: Action Skill]

[Details: The great Wind Elves once told me that as long as I ran fast enough, loneliness couldn't catch up with me......]

[Effect: For a certain amount of time after activating this skill, your movement speed will be greatly increased!] ]

[Hint: The increase in movement speed decreases over time.] ]

[Note: Do you want to be as free as the wind?] Then let's do the Wind Walk to your heart's content! ]

[……]

It's the same as Lu Qingge guessed.

[Wind Walk] is also a [Basic Skill].

It belongs to the [Assassin] system and is a skill with buff buffs.

Lu Qingge personally tested it.

[Wind Walk] lasts about six seconds.

In the first two seconds of [Wind Walk], the character's speed will instantly skyrocket, pulling it to a very boastful one

Zhang's value. ….

But after that, the speed drops down quickly to a level.

Eventually, it will stay within a speed range close to the effect of [Potion of Speed] until the Wind Walk's buff ends.

……

[Skill: Split Arrow]

[Details: The bowstring will only ring once, but the enemy will never know how many arrows will fly towards him.] ]

[Effect: Shoots a parent arrow forward, which splits into multiple arrows as it flies.] ]

[Note: Parent arrows will not split if they are blocked on the way.] ]

[Note: Don't blink, it's going to be a gorgeous magic show!] ]

Similarly, [Split Arrow] is also a basic skill.

This skill is not unfamiliar to Lu Qingge at all.

Because when he was raiding [Frost Forest], he also saw Winina use this skill more than once.

This made Lu Qingge feel a little crying and laughing.

He had muttered before, when would he be able to get a [Ranger] skill.

What I didn't expect was that it really came as it was.

It is just right, too.

Inside his [S-level clearance chest], there is a blue-level bow and arrow weapon.

When necessary, he can really pull out his bow and arrows and fire them.

And with these two skills, Lu Qingge also completed the advancement of the first form and upgraded it to lv20.

After the advancement, these two skills become [Shadow Walk] and [Shotstar Arrow].

……

[Skill: Shadow Walk]

[Effect: Within two seconds of Wind Walk, you will enter a stealth state.] ]

[Stealth: In this state, the character's body is highly transparent.] ]

……

[Skill: Shotgun Arrow]

[Effect: You can shoot three scattered parent arrows at once in front of you.] ]

……

Even though the two newly unlocked skills are also [Basic Skills].

But after being strengthened, the power and effect have indeed been qualitatively improved.

In the past half a month, Lu Qingge has been pondering and practicing his newly acquired skills.

So far, it's basically getting started.

But in fact, at the beginning, Lu Qingge didn't plan to practice for such a long time.

The main reasons are......

Lu Qingge has not received a notice from the [Shengyao Brave Academy].

It seems that there is only one week left until the recruitment order closes.

This made Lu Qingge always have a faint premonition in his heart......

That's when it happened.

[Ding!] ]

[You have a new private message!] ]

Lu Qingge immediately opened it and checked the details.

Immediately after, my eyes lit up slightly.

The Messenger –

It was [St. Yao Academy].

…….
