In 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 skills it has mastered before. 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 times.

There are also skills like tailoring that I have basically never had 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.

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 skills and pure strength. The dexterity of his fingers has been greatly improved accordingly, and he will most likely be able to use it in the future.

Coupled with 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 about 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 the chef, eight delicious and generous dishes were placed on the table in just over half an hour.

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.

That doesn't make sense.

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

Without Ji Xing's "fighting", it is not certain whether they can see the 60th floor at a glance, and many, many more people will definitely be sacrificed.

But now I feel like the kind boss of the corner shop I often go 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. Messy!

"I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to 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 the 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 hadn't 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 was more familiar with Ji Xing than Suguha.

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

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

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

"Yes." Agil also said: "It's just...it's so unimaginable! The truth of the mysterious team that everyone has been speculating for three years is actually like this, and it has been around us all the time!"

"So... the two books on reading, 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, it’s a self-summary, and I’ll improve my teaching skills by the way.” 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? Being able to write instructional books one after another covering various categories that players regard as treasures, and single-handedly advancing the mysterious tower to thirty floors in a short period of time!

 Where exactly is it so strong?

 “Then let’s get started.”

 “Eat.”

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

 After dinner, 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.

 The 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 gains based on the extreme of his reaction speed.

 The general performance is six-sword style. The Eight Blade 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 exhaled the deep breath he took in.

　　‘Two swords to attack, four swords to defend! ’

Deciding on his strategy in an instant, Kirito's figure flashed in front of Ji Xing. The two middle arms 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!

  Didn’t react?

  No, it’s because 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? !

what is this?

　　Not only Kirito, but also the four players in the strategy team, except for Argo who was not aware of it, 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 improvement rate of swordsmanship has slowed down."

 Kirito’s four arms suddenly disappeared. is that so? Have I put too much of my experience into Liu Dao Ryu recently? So I can’t even understand the trajectory of Ji Xing’s knife?

 He was overthinking this. Fighting under similar physical conditions, if Ji Xing's swordsmanship could even be understood by Kirito, 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 was really sucked into another ‘area’ for some reason?”

Hearing the description of Xiaojie and others, Jin couldn't help but laugh and shook his head: "It really has something to do with the divine characters. Will this tower attract all the beings who use the divine characters in the dark continent?"

At that time, Ji Xing used his Greedy Island to set up the Divine Word formation, and used the flying ant king Meluaim as the Divine Word transport officer to directly fly across 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.

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

 It’s not that disasters are discounted, but that 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 cherished treasures on this floor. He has done enough. Various preparations.

 It is a complete benefit to other people.

 It was 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 'Devil-Sealing Thread'? It is obviously much weaker than our 'district'... If Ji Xing wasn't helping, it would be really difficult." Something strange.

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

 “Hehe...” Xiaojie is laughing.

  Killua gave him a roll of his eyes.

Bisji said: "Yeah, it's a pity that it's difficult for us to unite, otherwise the boss on the 80th floor would have a chance to defeat it."

The mysterious tower here is not as crowded as the Sword Art Online world. The total number of players is still only 1,800, but they are all elites.

  Unfortunately, it also includes various sub-races of the Dark Continent. There are only a few beings like Ant King Meluem. It is difficult to work together with human players, and there is even deep hostility.

It would be good if they didn't attack each other. 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 of a completely different level from the lower levels. Speaking of which, his appearance is somewhat similar to Ji Xing's, and he is also exaggeratedly powerful. After finding Until we find a way to break his Holy Light Qi, the possibility of victory is zero."

"Holy Light Qi." When this term was mentioned, Bisji also seemed to have 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' read'?"

 “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 the 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!”

 The answer to 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, lifted and grasped with his hands, and turned his body in the opposite direction, so that the spirit pills of the fairy water could condense and not disperse, and he threw out the counterattack fairy water fiercely.

The red spirit pill passed through the afterimage of Xianshui's body, and exploded a mountain in the distance with a roar! At the same time, Xian Shui's body was already pressed to Ji Xing's side. His slender and powerful right leg was wrapped in a holy steel suit and he kicked towards Ji Xing in the air!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 score

Legs and arms connected, and with a fiery muffled sound, the ground beneath my feet spread out in two directions like a flood.

 Then he saw that the golden thought energy was also entangled on Ji Xing's arm. 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!

 Sacred Light Mind: Extreme (Level 10) (Full Level)

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 various application techniques 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...!

 Fistes and feet clashed with each other.

 The earth was quickly destroyed under the attack of the two people who turned into afterimages of each other's Euler!

In the previous 29 times, Ji Xing used the holy light thought to resist the immortal water, and used his 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 people distanced themselves, and the golden holy light thought suddenly stretched behind Ji Xing, forming a "human" character!

 Psychic ability (human): extremely (level 63) (???)

 The Tower of Mystery’s maximum level limit of 10 has been overtaken 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.

 At 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 Xian Shui's mouth gushed with blood, and he was suppressed by the fist wind to a kilometer away!

“Two more punches are needed.” Ji Xing flashed along the ‘highway’ he had just built.

 One minute later, the 81st floor of the Mysterious Tower opened the door to Ji Xing!
