Stronger with More Jobs

"What do you mean by enough?"

A dark figure came over, Qi Hao had been running non-stop for two days, his skin was so dark that his whites of the eyes stood out exceptionally...

Fang Qingyu twitched at the corners of his mouth, almost thinking this kid had traveled from Africa.

"I mean the merit is enough, let's move out, wrap it up!"

He said, then called for everyone to get on board.

Returning to the Divine Authority Bureau Building, the hustle of the 28th-floor leisure area was replaced by a high-efficiency busyness.

Fang Qingyu didn't linger.

He had Jiang Wei return to the leisure area first, while he went to the underground training ground.

He took out a standard long saber, took a deep breath, and cleared his mind of distractions.

In his mind, the diagram unfolded, and the skill points column clearly displayed: 16.

"Upgrade 'Thunder Strike Eight Slashes'!" The command was issued without hesitation.

[Do you want to spend 15 skill points to upgrade the skill Thunder Strike Eight Slashes?]

"Yes!"

Fang Qingyu didn't hesitate.

Buzz—!

An influx of insight far larger and purer than any previous enhancement surged into Fang Qingyu's mind and his entire being!

It was as if countless phantasms wielding Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash were frantically practicing in his consciousness, each chop, each thrust, each burst of lightning contained the secret technique of achieving perfect harmony and mastery in saber technique.

All the detailed training from the past, the combat experiences gathered...

Even the vague perception of the Thunder Realm, were at this moment connected, fused, and transcended!

His body's Qi Blood boiled and surged, under the guidance of Musashi's Spirit Core, like the most precise instrument, perfectly absorbed and transformed this power, imprinting it into every inch of muscle and bone, integrating it into nerve reflexes instinctively.

Time seemed to freeze, and at the same time, it seemed to fly by.

When Fang Qingyu opened his eyes again, a faint electric spark seemed to flicker deep in his eyes, his entire aura became more restrained yet implicitly carried an undrawn but sharp perfectness.

He sensed an unprecedented close connection between himself and the Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash in his hand; the saber seemed like an extension of his arm, where the mind reached, the blade did too.

[Congratulations, your profession advanced skill "Thunder Strike Eight Slashes" has risen to Lv.5 (max)!]

However, just at the moment when this feeling of perfection stabilized!

Fang Qingyu had just glimpsed at the diagram.

The talent [Musashi's Spirit Core] suddenly activated itself!

A formless power originating from an even deeper Life Origin was stirred up, like a dormant volcano awakening, beginning to impact the seemingly pinnacle of perfection!

Boom!

Fang Qingyu shuddered all over, as if a thunderous roar echoed from the depths of his soul!

The previously perfectly harmonious secret technique of "Thunder Strike Eight Slashes," under the propulsion of Musashi's Spirit Core, began to decompose, reassemble, transforming towards a more profound, more domineering, and closer to the thunder origin direction!

Beyond perfection, there is yet greater heights!

The barrier of Lv.5 perfection was forcibly cracked open by the heaven-defying talent [Musashi's Spirit Core]!

New fragments of insight flooded into his mind like a thunderstorm, though vague, they contained unimaginable power and potential.

[Detected host's talent "Musashi's Spirit Core," forcibly breaking through the skill's theoretical limit!]

[Skill "Thunder Strike Eight Slashes" Lv.5 (Perfection) limit has been broken! Current full level: 6 (Breaking Limit)]

[Current progress: 0/1600]

The originally max-level label in parentheses was forcibly erased, with the previous experience progress bar filled back in.

This is Musashi's Spirit Core!!

At last, it was the first time this talent showed its true effect outside the martial arts talent!

If that's the case.

The realm above Great Sun Level martial arts perfection.

How terrifying must that be!?

That, as of now, remains unknown.

But having reached perfection now, the substantial increase in power is undeniable!

"Whew..."

Fang Qingyu let out a long breath, his breath like an arrow, with subtle electric arcs crackling in the air.

He looked down at his palm, sensing the surging energy within, more in tune with the Thunderous Blade Intent and full of infinite possibilities, his eyes flashing with a bright light, filled with uncontrollable excitement.

It was worth it! The relentless fighting for two days, to achieve this critical breakthrough, was absolutely worth it!

But shortly thereafter.

Fang Qingyu collected his thoughts, suppressing his excitement.

The increase in strength is certainly important, but the current crisis in Qingjian City has not been resolved; the massive force field covering half the city to the west still hangs like the Sword of Damocles overhead.

...

The next morning.

The notice of the end of duty sounded inside the Divine Management Bureau, announcing the temporary conclusion of today's high-intensity clearing operation.

Fang Qingyu rubbed his somewhat sore brow.

Although the breakthrough brought energy that kept him in a decent state, the continuous fighting-induced mental tension still needed easing.

"Xiaojiang, let's go home."

He called out to Jiang Wei, who was beside him intently studying a pack of new-flavored chips.

The little girl immediately hugged the chips to her chest, jumped off the couch, and followed closely behind him.

The two walked out of the main entrance of the Divine Authority Bureau Building.

The cool morning air had the unique freshness after the rain, slightly dispelling the lingering smokiness of the past few days.

The entrance of the Bureau was still bustling, with hurried staff, vehicles transporting supplies, and newly rotated-off-duty team members with fatigue and scars, forming a daily scene in a wartime state.

Fang Qingyu was just about to take Jiang Wei and leave.

Two figures, as if having awaited for a long time, silently blocked his path.

These two carried a distinct aura, yet both of them had a kind of composure in stark contrast to the current tense atmosphere of Qingjian City, one might even say... leisurely.
