Facing the enraged but unharmed Moyun Sparrow, Qi Han's heart skipped a beat as he had just retrieved his Flying God Claws.
Damn it, why is this Moyun Sparrow so difficult to deal with?
The recipe compendium did mention that Moyun Sparrows possess an innate skill that makes their feathers extremely hard, but Qi Han never expected it to be so impenetrable that even the Fine Rain Needles couldn't pierce through.
Before he could react, the Moyun Sparrow flapped its wings on the ground, creating a gust of wind, and shot straight towards Qi Han like a projectile.
The sky was the Moyun Sparrow's main battlefield!
No, he couldn't evade it!
Qi Han quickly came to this conclusion.
With a single thought, he instantly disappeared from his original position and entered the training space.
However, Qi Han didn't stay in the training space.
After narrowly avoiding the fierce attack of the Moyun Sparrow, he reappeared on a branch while the Moyun Sparrow was still trying to react.
Just as he stabilized himself, Qi Han decisively jumped downward.
Staying on the branch made him a sitting duck.
Meanwhile, the Moyun Sparrow, which had missed its target again, quickly turned around in the air and swooped directly at Qi Han, who was in mid-air freefall, about to land.
Based on the speed, the Moyun Sparrow's sharp claws would tear Qi Han to pieces before he hit the ground.
A cold light flashed in Qi Han's eyes, and numerous cold glimmers appeared in his hands once again.
Fine Rain Needles were launched once more, shooting towards the diving Moyun Sparrow.
Swoosh! The Moyun Sparrow obviously didn't expect the human before it to counterattack with such strength, and it let out a panicked screech.
The last time, Qi Han had launched the Fine Rain Needles from above, hitting the Moyun Sparrow's back. But this time, Qi Han was falling while the Moyun Sparrow was attacking.
The Fine Rain Needles were aimed at the Moyun Sparrow's completely exposed belly!
In a panic, the Moyun Sparrow instantly folded its wings and covered its belly, burying its head in its chest.
With the activation of its innate skill, the entire bird turned into a spherical shape.
As expected of a Spirit Beast. Even in such a perilous situation, it made the most correct choice.
However, the Fine Rain Needles were extremely fast.
Despite the Moyun Sparrow curling up, it was still rushed, and several needles fiercely pierced into its body.
Swoosh! Its screech now contained a hint of pain.
Although the wounds were not fatal, it had suffered severe injuries.
Despite having folded its wings, the momentum remained. In the next instant, the Moyun Sparrow crashed directly into Qi Han's chest.
Bang! Qi Han and the Moyun Sparrow fell to the ground together, raising a large cloud of dust.
Although his chest ached, causing Qi Han's vision to darken and making it difficult to breathe, he knew that this was the best opportunity to kill the Moyun Sparrow. Exhausting all his strength, his kitchen knife appeared in his hand once again, his first Spirit ring lit up, and he swiftly swung down at the Moyun Sparrow, which had already released its innate skill, loosening its body.
The Moyun Sparrow, still recovering from the pain caused by the Fine Rain Needles, was instantly beheaded by Qi Han.
Only after seeing the Moyun Sparrow's death with his own eyes, Qi Han weakly collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, his chest throbbing.
After circulating his Spirit power in his chest for one round, Qi Han felt slightly better.
He then sat up and checked his injuries while sitting cross-legged.
There were no fractures, but there were slight cracks on his sternum and ribs.
He took out some healing pills he had bought from the pharmacy in the system space and swallowed a few directly into his mouth.
The Spirit Beast Forest was full of dangers, so Qi Han naturally couldn't stay here to heal his injuries. With a single thought, he entered the training space.
Sitting cross-legged in the training space, Qi Han began to absorb the medicinal power of the pills to treat his chest injuries.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal bone injuries, but in the magical world of Douluo Continent, a cracked bone could only be considered a minor injury and wouldn't take such a long time to recover.
After about an hour, Qi Han slowly opened his eyes, and the cracks in his chest had already healed by more than half under the effect of the pills.
Even low-grade healing pills had such miraculous effects.
At this point, Qi Han no longer felt much pain, and the remaining wounds didn't affect his movements.
With some rest in the following days, they would heal on their own.
Although he spent an hour in the training space, only a minute had passed in the outside world.
When he walked out of the system space, the dead Moyun Sparrow had produced a hundred-year Spirit ring.
The Spirit ring floated above the Moyun Sparrow's corpse, shimmering.
If Qi Han didn't absorb it, it would naturally dissipate after an hour.
Qi Han had no intention of absorbing the Moyun Sparrow's Spirit ring.
Carefully using his kitchen knife, he removed the breast meat of the Moyun Sparrow and submitted it to the system.
The voice of the system quickly resounded.
[Ding!]
[The host has completed a Time-limited Quest!]
[Time-limited Quest: Ingredient Acquisition II (Completed)]
[Quest Reward: System Spirit Ring x1 (available for collection), 2 Star Recipe: Kung Pao Chicken (temporarily unavailable due to incomplete Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb training).]
With no one around, Qi Han decisively chose to collect the system Spirit ring.
A white light slowly emanated from his Kitchen Knife Martial Spirit, quickly condensing and forming a second Spirit ring next to the first one, which had turned yellow with a hint of purple.
The new Spirit ring was still white and didn't increase in age after formation.
"System?"
Qi Han silently waited for the system to explain.
[Host's Second Spirit Skill: Blade Shadows.
This Spirit skill is bound to the host's carving level.
Carving levels are divided into five tiers: Beginner, Proficient, Mastery, Perfection, and Divine Carver, corresponding to ten-year Spirit rings, hundred-year Spirit rings, thousand-year Spirit rings, ten-thousand-year Spirit rings, and hundred-thousand-year Spirit rings, respectively.
As the host's carving level improves, the age limit of the Spirit rings will also increase.]
[As the host has not yet been exposed to carving, the current level is deemed as Beginner. Please continue to improve your carving proficiency.]
Carving?
Qi Han frowned slightly. Carving was a field he had never come into contact with. "System, where can I learn carving?"
[Since the host has no foundation in carving, I will now give you the free tutorial book, "Ghost Carving," which, when thoroughly mastered, will enable you to reach the level of a Divine Carver.]
Hmm? That's not right.
"System, how can I reach the level of Divine Carver?"
[Whether it's the exquisite knife technique or the divine carving skills, neither can be achieved through learning. The highest level that can be learned and practiced is Perfection. To surpass Perfection, the host must comprehend how to break through on their own.]
This...
Qi Han didn't expect that not only would he be unable to reach the level of Divine Carver in carving, but he also couldn't achieve extraordinary mastery in the knife technique he had been practicing for a long time.
Or rather, it wasn't that he couldn't achieve it, but that he needed to comprehend it.
However, knowing the system's nature, he had a feeling that this comprehension would be extremely difficult.
Letting out a light sigh, it seemed that hundred-thousand-year Spirit rings were indeed rare and not easily obtained.
Looking at the sky, realizing that he had been busy for so long and the sun was about to set, he had to quickly return to Heaven Dou City and rest for the night before heading back to Shrek City tomorrow.
Finally going home.
