Very quickly, Luo Fan found his target.
Even though this was only the outskirts, the number of beast generals around was quite high.
And in just a short while, Luo Fan saw several intermediate beast generals.
In City 030, even in the suburbs, these intermediate beast generals all acted alone.
There weren't any beast soldier underlings around them.
This was very favorable for Luo Fan.
After all, killing beast soldiers brought him no benefit.
Too strong a stench of blood in such a place could even attract lord-level monsters.
So, being able to duel a beast general one-on-one was the best.
Without the blood stench of beast soldiers drawing other monsters over, he could fight longer.
His goal today was only one, and that is to raise his proficiency in basic blade techniques to the next level again!
Previously, in battles, even without establishing a task, his basic blade technique proficiency had already reached 987.
Basically, every time Ninefold Thunder Blade or Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade gained one point of proficiency, his basic blade techniques would also increase by 5 or 6 points.
So at this moment, he was curious about what kind of realm would be reached once proficiency was perfected.
Anyway, it was just something he could do along the way.
This time his target was an intermediate beast general level Blood Demon Wolf.
This Blood Demon Wolf was only about one kilometer away from where Luo Fan stood.
And it didn't have any underlings, making it very suitable for Luo Fan to practice against.
[Task: Use the first four levels of Ninefold Thunder Blade and Flowing Light Footwork to kill the Blood Demon Wolf. Reward: Ninefold Thunder Blade first four levels proficiency +1, Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade first style proficiency +1, Flowing Light Footwork proficiency +1, Constitution +20]
His Ninefold Thunder Blade's third level had already reached the Great Accomplishment realm.
So now he had begun training the fourth level.
Completing a single task would grant proficiency in the first four levels of Ninefold Thunder Blade as well as the first style of Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade, one could say it was extremely profitable.
Afterward, he also created a proficiency realm task for his basic blade techniques.
[Task: Raise basic blade technique proficiency to the Transcendent realm. Reward: Martial Artist's Basic Blade Techniques 108 Styles, Basic Blade Talent +10]
Indeed!
This name alone shows it's a basic sword technique popular among warriors in the universe.
It should be similar to the Spirit Master 312 Technique that Luo Feng obtained in the No. 9 Ruins in the original story.
For Luo Fan, this is a pretty good secret technique.
At the very least, it's perfect for building a foundation.
Thinking this, his gaze toward the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf also grew fiery.
He stepped on his shield and flew straight toward it.
At this moment, his spiritual power had already locked tightly onto the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf.
In an instant, he was in front of the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf.
"Howl!"
The Blood Demon Fierce Wolf was startled by Luo Fan suddenly appearing before it.
After letting out a roar at Luo Fan, the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf charged straight at him.
Luo Fan remained calm as he watched the massive beast about to reach him.
He slowly and steadily drew his newly purchased battle sword.
Just as the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf was about to pounce on him, Luo Fan used the Flowing Light Movement Technique to evade the deadly strike.
At the closest moment, the wolf's massive claw was less than five centimeters from Luo Fan's face.
Yet, those five centimeters felt like an insurmountable chasm—completely untouchable.
As they passed each other, a blade of light flashed.
"Shing!"
A large amount of blood gushed from the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf's abdomen.
After missing its target and landing beside Luo Fan, the wolf's limbs trembled slightly.
At the very moment they passed, Luo Fan had struck directly at the wolf's abdomen.
The newly purchased battle sword was even sharper than the one Luo Fan had used before.
All 2.8 times his force exploded outward.
This single strike shredded a large portion of the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf's internal organs.
At this moment, even though it had already reached the level of a mid-tier Beast General, the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf, with its terrifying vitality, was a bit staggered.
It still bared its teeth at Luo Fan.
However, Luo Fan could clearly see the fear in the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf's eyes.
A mid-tier Beast General level Blood Demon Fierce Wolf also had some intelligence.
By now, it was all show and no strength.
Luo Fan didn't hesitate and quickly approached the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf.
With a flash of his blade, the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf barely lifted its paw to defend.
But its paw was cut off directly by Luo Fan's sword.
A huge cut also appeared on its neck.
The already severely injured Blood Demon Fierce Wolf could no longer stand and fell directly to the ground.
A large amount of blood gushed from the two wounds.
"Gurgle!"
"Gurgle!"
The ground around was dyed red with the Blood Demon Fierce Wolf's blood.
Luo Fan walked over and delivered another strike, completely ending its life.
Three strikes!
A mid-tier Beast General, and a wolf-type monster at that, was instantly killed by Luo Fan.
Luo Fan couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
Not long ago, he had just been a lay about relying on memory, moving through novels, wanting to live a carefree life.
Yet, in such a short time, he could now instantly kill a mid-tier Beast General.
Shaking his head, he continued to stay vigilant.
After quickly harvesting the materials with his throwing knives, Luo Fan immediately left with them.
The Blood Demon Fierce Wolf had bled so much that it could very likely attract a large number of monsters.
So, after gathering the materials, Luo Fan ran off immediately.
Back at the building where he had been earlier, Luo Fan immediately claimed his reward.
This time, his basic sword technique increased by 8 points of proficiency, reaching 995.
Luo Fan estimated that just one more session would bring it to a masterful level.
He didn't stop and immediately began searching for new prey.
After all, he hadn't used much physical strength just now.
Very quickly, he found another low-tier Beast General.
It was also very close to him.
He flew over and instantly killed it with one strike, and the proficiency of his basic sword technique immediately increased by 5 points!
Finally, the proficiency of his basic sword technique had reached a masterful level.
[Skill: … Basic Blade Technique max (Masterful)]
A trace of excitement flashed across his face, but he didn't immediately claim the reward.
He returned to the building from earlier and began clearing out the monsters inside.
This time he didn't use his Blade.
Instead, he killed them one by one with his fists.
This way, there wouldn't be any blood smell.
If he used a Blade, the blood smell could very likely attract other monsters.
This was a big city, so he had to be careful.
After clearing the building, he sprayed some perfume he had purchased from the HR Alliance.
Most monsters didn't like the scent of this perfume.
If there wasn't anything valuable, monsters basically wouldn't come in.
After confirming that there were no other monsters nearby, Luo Fan silently thought in his mind:
"Claim reward!"
The next moment, a massive memory appeared in his mind.
It contained the 108 forms of the warrior's basic Blade technique.
In Luo Fan's mind, a phantom seemed to appear.
The phantom held a sword in its hand, repeatedly demonstrating the 108 Blade forms.
Soon, Luo Fan came back to his senses.
His eyes were full of excitement.
So, blade techniques could be like this!
