"Secret Slash, One Style."

Ronin pulled out the simple long knife from his waist, and shot out like an arrow from the string. In a flash of light, he appeared behind a large wooden stake.

There are no gorgeous special effects, just the crisp sound of the white blade slowly being sheathed. The huge wooden pile instantly shattered into colorful fragments and scattered in the endless void.

Location: Novice training ground

Target: The highest level wooden stake (HP: 1 billion)

Time to defeat: 309 seconds

Breakthrough rating: A

Current novice goal completion progress (**

**/10) Not completed

Ronin straightened up, looked at the still gray task unfinished button on the upper right corner panel, sighed softly, and closed it.

How long has it been? Ronin doesn't remember it at all.

I came here by chance and was told by an unknown system that after completing all the novice goals in this training ground, I could embark on a journey to other worlds and gradually become stronger.

But just when Ronin excitedly passed a series of novice tasks and reached the final step, unexpected problems arose in the progress of the final task.

"Why can't I complete this last mission? Is there a bug!?"

Ronin watched as the progress of his task stalled at (11/10), and the task completion button that used to change from gray to gold did not respond.

[Graduation goal for novices (final): break 10 training stakes, current progress (11/10) not completed]

Staring at the task board in front of him, Ronin twitched the corners of his mouth, then clicked a few times in mid-air to call up his personal panel.

As shown below:

Name: Ronin

Level: Lv1

HP: 10/10

Current equipment: [Novice Long Knife] (attack power: 1, fixed attribute: cannot be dropped, cannot be damaged)

Combat skills: Secret Slash, One Style (the most basic quick slash with a long sword, the damage is average. But it is said that as long as you keep practicing, you will have unexpected effects.)

There's only so much. Without passing the novice mission, you can't go on a real adventure in another world, and you can't upgrade and learn new skills.

In the training ground, the only thing that can be increased by completing novice tasks is skill proficiency. Originally, after completing the tasks, you can enter other worlds for upgrade adventures.

But this novice task is stuck here and cannot be completed.

So Ronin could only use his skills on the training stakes over and over again to break them, praying that the task would be completed after reaching a certain number of times.

In this space, he won't feel tired, has no need for sleep, and doesn't need to drink or eat. Ronin just keeps drawing the sword, slashing, and sheathing it, then summons the next wooden stake, drawing the sword again, cutting, and sheathing it. , the endless cycle went on, and his excitement gradually calmed down.

His goal has also changed from breaking out a piece of blue sky of my own in another world to trying every means to leave this ghost place.

Until just now today, my skill proficiency had reached 9,999,999,999 points.

[Ding! ]

Ronin suddenly heard a system prompt that he had not heard for a long.....long time.

What!? Is the mission accomplished?

Ronin looked ecstatic, and he immediately called up the system task panel.

[The current skill "Secret Slash One" proficiency has reached the highest level, and the hidden ability is unlocked]

The raised corners of his mouth instantly returned to calmness. Ronin didn't even look at what Secret Slash had unlocked, because no matter what he unlocked, it didn't matter to him now - as long as the final mission was not completed, no matter how strong he was, no matter how hard you try, you can't go out of this damn place!

Lying on the ground again at the training ground, Ronin felt very desperate.

Even suicide is not possible here... the system will force him to resurrect himself. He has tried it many times. This one-and-done way will not work.

But at this time, there was a second system prompt!

[Ding! ]

Ronin silently opened the panel, and after seeing the prompts that popped up line by line, his expression gradually changed from death to disbelief, and then he became ecstatic like crazy.

[A system vulnerability has been detected, and the skill "Secret Slash" with "Great Perfection" proficiency has been discovered. The status of the novice mission is still unfinished. ]

[Under repair...]

[Repair successful! ]

[The current novice mission has ended. This system is very sorry for this system loophole and especially compensates the player with a +999 (maximum) chance to strengthen the weapon! ]

[It is detected that the weapon is currently equipped. Do you want to directly strengthen it? ]

"YES! YES! YES!!! The mission is over, the mission is over!!!" Ronin cheered the moment he saw the word "novice mission ended" and ran back and forth on the training ground with joy as if a lunatic who escaped from a mental hospital.

[Enhancement completed, thank you for using it! ]

"Huh?" Ronin froze in place. He was so immersed in the joy of completing the task that he didn't even notice the prompt that popped up later.

After carefully watching the record, he slapped his forehead and knelt down.

"Blood loss! Blood loss!!!!"

Not long after he was frustrated, Ronin bounced like a carp.

Isn't it just a waste of a +999 enhancement opportunity? I can finally move towards the new world and leave this ghost place where I have been staying for who knows how long! There will be opportunities to get more powerful weapons in the future!

By the way, before heading to the new world, let me first take a look at the effects of the hidden skills I have worked so hard to unlock for so long!

In order to leave a little surprise for himself, Ronin did not open the skill panel for the time being, but directly chose to summon a top-level wooden stake to try to chop it down first.

After cutting the stake for so long, it would take more than five minutes at the fastest to clear it, because its health value is as much as one billion!

"I hope the damage of this skill can be qualitatively improved."

Ronin slowly walked to the front of the wooden stake, took a step forward with his right foot, bowed down, lowered his body weight, and placed his right hand lightly on the handle of the knife at his waist.

This is the last time I use my skills on you, brother wooden stake.

Ronin looked at the wooden stake in front of him with complicated eyes.

Thank you for accompanying me through such a long and boring time. I feel sorry for hacking you 9.9 billion times.

Roninv unsheathed the long sword on his waist.

So it's not too late this time, let me get it together for you!

"Secret Slash One Style!"

Target: The highest level wooden stake (HP: 1 billion)

Time to break: 0.001 seconds

Defeat rating: SSS

? ? ?

Ronin looked back at the top-grade wooden stake that had turned into colorful fragments, and blinked in disbelief.

what's the situation? I just made a move!

Ronin quickly clicked on the skill details panel and looked at the only combat skill he owned. Its attributes had undergone earth-shaking changes:

Combat Skills: Secret Slash, One Style

Proficiency: 9.9 billion (Dzogchen)

Damage: 0 points (will be modified according to the judgment effect)

The special hidden effect of the skill Great Perfection: a judgment is made when the skill is activated. If the judgment is successful, any target can be killed directly, ignoring all the target's immortality characteristics and any healing ability. If the judgment fails, the skill cannot be activated.

Judgment criteria: ''success'' if the target's health value is lower than the proficiency of the skill, ''failure'' if the health value is equal to or greater than the skill proficiency.

Once the target-locked skill is activated, it cannot be dodged/blocked/retracted. This skill can be used forcefully regardless of any control status.

Once the skill is successfully activated, it cannot be interrupted by any control effect unless the player dies.

Negative effect: In addition to this skill, other skills cannot be learned and used.

[Reaching the realm of transformation, reaching the pinnacle]

"Absolute...absolute...fucking amazing!" Ronin kept sighing as he looked at the effect of the changed skills.

After all, I did not waste my time in vain, and my efforts finally paid off!

"Without further delay, let me embark on my journey to the new world! I don't want to stay in this place any longer!"

[Do you want to set off to the next world? ]

"yes."

After confirming with the system, Ronin looked at the blue portal that suddenly appeared in the center of the training ground and stepped in without hesitation.
