The system is the proficiency panel

Half a fresh wild boar carcass appeared in front of Lin Ji. There were no obvious signs of damage in the surrounding environment. The wild boar was killed with one blow. Lin Ji stepped forward to examine the carcass.

"Based on the strength of the corpse, it is a second-level Qi training monster. The blood has not yet dried up, so the monster that killed it should not have gone far."

Sure enough, Lin Ji found traces around, some huge footprints extending along the edge of the tree. He estimated the strength of the monster based on the remaining breath in the footprints.

"Judging from the footprints, it should be a tiger monster, and its strength should be at the sixth level of Qi training."

We didn't encounter any other monsters along the way. We followed the footprints to a stream and saw a huge tiger lying there, taking a nap. Its body was 6 meters long without its tail, and its height could not be seen clearly because it was lying down.

"Finally found it, let me see how strong you are!"

Lin Ji had no intention of launching a sneak attack, he came here to fight monsters to improve his strength, the mission was secondary.

Without concealing his breath, Lin Ji slowly walked out of the forest and stepped onto the land beside the stream. The giant tiger woke up, stared at the uninvited guest with ferocious eyes and roared, and the fishy smell in its mouth spread.

'It stinks!'

Lin Ji frowned, and as the roar ended, the giant tiger pounced on him as fast as the wind.

Zheng!

The collision between Qingfeng and the tiger claw made a metallic sound, and the huge force blasted Lin Ji all the way back.

"Such a strong force, worthy of being a tiger demon."

After this attack, Lin Ji stopped confronting the tiger head-on and started to fight with it using his smaller size as an advantage. Soon, he left many wounds on the tiger's body.

Swoosh! The giant tiger turned around and swung its thick tail with great force. Lin Ji ducked to avoid it, but the big trees behind him were not so lucky and were broken in half.

The giant tiger was bleeding as it watched the ineffective attack. It stepped back a few steps, condensing golden light in its mouth, preparing for a full-strength attack.

"Are you ready to use your ultimate move? Then I'll do it too."

Although the giant tiger didn't understand, it didn't stop Lin Ji from saying that Lin Ji didn't use the sword force: sharp. He simply condensed and compressed the spiritual power to form sword energy. He wanted to comprehend the sword force: sword energy in the battle.

A dazzling white light spurted out from the giant tiger's mouth, destroying any obstacles along the way and shooting towards Lin Ji.

The sword was swung out to form a 10-meter-long sword energy, which was much smaller than the sword energy used by Lin Ji before, but the power contained and its strength were qualitatively improved.

The sword energy and white light collided with each other, forming a shock wave that spread outward.

The sword energy split the white light at a speed visible to the naked eye, cutting off the upper half of the giant tiger's body with unstoppable force, and then continued to slash backwards, destroying countless trees.

"The monster's skills are a bit limited, but its body is very powerful. I wonder if the mythical beasts or monster kings mentioned in the books will be different."

Cut open the giant tiger's abdomen and take out the golden demon pill, then cut off the giant tiger's limbs, remove the blood stains on them and put them into the storage bag.

"It took too much time to find the monster. How about trying to find a monk who is good at tracking tomorrow? But my sword energy has finally broken through. It seems that fighting in reality is easier for me to break through the bottleneck than fighting with a clone."

Feeling the sword shadow above his qi sea solidify a bit and no longer illusory, Lin Ji smiled and looked at the dim forest around him. He decided to return to the Unfallen City.

He took some time to quickly return to the inn, took out the giant tiger limbs, found the shopkeeper and asked him to help find someone to make spiritual food, while he went back to the room to wait.

"Guest, this is the spiritual food made from the ingredients you brought. Please send a message to me after you finish eating so that I can clean up the dishes. According to the spiritual chef, the remaining ingredients can be eaten for two days."

A servant respectfully brought the spiritual food and left the room after informing him of other things. Lin Ji smelled the aroma of the food and started to eat.

"I wonder if Ningxue and the others have eaten it..."

Lin Ji finished eating quickly and asked the servants to take away the food, then returned to bed to check his harvest.

[You experienced a battle, you crushed your opponent, you have a deep foundation in swordsmanship, and naturally comprehended the sword power: sword energy. Proficiency +2]

Lin Ji:

Skills: Sword Skills (Sword Qi to comprehend, please decide the next goal) Time and Space (Space Tearing: 20/100) Changchun Kung (Growth: 52/100)

Power: Sword (sharpness/sword energy) Spacetime (spacetime domain)

"My proficiency in space tearing has increased quite a lot this time, probably related to my sword energy breakthrough. So which sword energy should I practice next? I'll ask Master Ye for advice when I get back."

Thinking this way, Lin Ji entered the Tower of Trial. This time he had a lot of fun fighting with the clone. As soon as he entered, they started a long-range sword fight without even using the time and space domain. In the end, the fight ended with both of them being cut in half by the opponent's sword energy.

The next morning Lin Ji found the innkeeper and questioned him.

"Shopkeeper, do you know anyone in Buluo City who is good at tracking monsters?"

"You can go to the independent cultivator market to look for one. I would recommend an independent cultivator named Hou Wen. He has been in the city of Bu Luo for many years and is good at tracking. He has a good reputation, but he is a bit expensive, costing three low-grade spirit stones a day."

After receiving the suggestion, Lin Ji immediately went to the casual cultivators' market to find someone. Since his sword power had already broken through, he should kill some monsters and earn spirit stones in the next two days.

Following the address given by the shopkeeper, I arrived at a stall in the market. An old man with white hair was selling some herbs. Judging from his aura, he was only at the fifth level of Qi training.

"Excuse me, are you Hou Wen?"

"Yeah, what do you want to do with an old man like me?"

The old man raised his head and looked curiously at Lin Ji, who was alone.

"Lin Ji, a disciple of Xuantian Sect, needs to complete a mission and needs your help in tracking down monsters at the fifth level of Qi training and above."

"Even if you are a disciple of Xuantian Sect, I see that you are only at the fourth level of Qi training and you are alone. I don't want to accompany you to die. Let's go."

Facing the old man's doubts, Lin Ji condensed sword energy from his fingertips for him to see. Feeling the dangerous aura from his fingertips, the old man no longer had any intention of driving Lin Ji away.

"Let me make a deal first. If the situation is not right, I will run away first. Don't expect me to stay and fight. The cost of hiring me is 3 low-grade spirit stones a day."

Lin Ji readily took out 6 low-grade spirit stones and handed them to the old man. The old man packed up the stall with a savings bag and they headed for the Misty Forest together.

With one sword, he cut off the head of the demon deer in front of him, then cut open its belly and took out the green demon pill. This was the third demon beast Hou Wen had encountered since entering the Misty Forest. His tracking ability was indeed amazing.

"This guy is really strong. All three monsters were at the fifth level of Qi training, and he killed them all with one sword."

Hou Wen looked at Lin Ji, whose movements were becoming more and more skilled. He stepped forward to collect the corpse and agreed with Lin Ji that he would pay him back with spirit stones when he returned to Buluo City.

After collecting the body, Hou Wen fell silent. He was using tracking skills and showed fear after a while.

"Lin Ji, there's a big guy ahead. I can sense from his aura that he's at least at the seventh level of Qi training. Let's get out of this area first!"

"No, let's go check it out together. You stay away for a while. If the situation is not good, you go first."

Upon hearing that there was a high-level Qi training monster, Lin Ji showed excitement and asked Hou Wen to take him there, and also gave him conditions to escape.

Hou Wen thought about it and decided to take Lin Ji with him to find the monster.

"This guy is so confident, he must have some hidden card. If not, I can just run away by myself."
