Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

Intelligence agencies around the world have been searching for information about this unit, but have been unable to obtain any specific details and can only speculate.

It is said that this unit's combat capabilities are comparable to, or even stronger than, the once most mysterious Blue Spider and Red Scorpion special forces... A Vietnamese special agent who participated in the operation to eliminate this unit said: "This is a ruthless, demonic unit. In the jungle, we lost 80% of our combat personnel, and we didn't even see their shadows. We could only flee in fear, not knowing when we would die at their hands..."

"It seems you've heard of us. We're not enemies, so you can put your sword away now." Suzaku was indeed very proud of his identity.

"Why should I believe you?" Qin Tian said.

“I’m here on behalf of the Divine Sword Camp to extend an invitation to you. I was originally planning to test you, but now it seems there’s no need… This is our commander’s order,” Suzaku said.

In fact, she had already unknowingly tested Qin Tian, ​​but she almost had her throat slit. This showed just how strong he was, perhaps even stronger than her.

Qin Tian took the token and saw that it was actually an invitation shaped like a sword. He opened it and read: "Comrade Qin Tian, ​​with outstanding achievements and exceptional strength, is hereby invited to join the Chinese Divine Sword Camp."

These two short sentences reveal immense confidence, and even the bold, flowing handwriting seems to have the power to deeply move the reader.

Below is a military seal that reads "Southwest Military Region Divine Sword Battalion," with a red sword-shaped pattern piercing through the seal in the center, which appears to be genuine.

So Qin Tian released Zhuque and said indifferently, "You can leave now. I'm doing well in my current unit, and I have no interest in joining your Divine Sword Battalion."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Suzaku was utterly astonished and could hardly believe his ears.

Given the strength and mystique of their Divine Sword Camp, the other party refused so easily.

Moreover, judging from Qin Tian's appearance, it seems he really intends to just leave me here and then turn around and leave.

"Why don't you listen to our Divine Sword Camp's introduction first? I know you're very strong, but don't be too arrogant and think you're invincible. You're no match for our boss, and the strength of our Divine Sword Camp is beyond your imagination," Zhuque said, seemingly full of confidence in her boss and the Divine Sword Camp.

"Our leader is the youngest general in all of China, and our Divine Sword Battalion has the greatest authority in the entire Chinese army. We have priority access to all advanced weapons and medicines. Our Divine Sword Battalion has almost never failed in any mission."

"Just almost?" Qin Tian replied calmly. "My team has never failed."

"You!" Zhuque was somewhat annoyed upon hearing this. But she had to admit that their Divine Sword Camp had indeed suffered a defeat once.

Although they didn't go all out that time, failure is failure, and it's a stain on their Divine Sword Battalion.

However, she still forced herself to say, "That's because you haven't encountered a strong enough opponent yet! Like the Taiyuan military base, we can enter anytime we want!"

"Is that so?" Qin Tian remained noncommittal and continued walking forward.

"By the way, you should have already mastered 'Qi'... But let me tell you, our Divine Sword Camp was the first unit to master 'Qi'!" Zhuque was very annoyed by Qin Tian's attitude, but still tried her best to win him over.

"Huh?" This piqued Qin Tian's interest. After practicing the Flying Knife Qi Refining Technique, he had also looked up relevant information.

In China, legends about qigong have indeed existed for a long time. Especially in the 1980s, a large-scale qigong craze swept the country, with everyone from high-ranking government officials to ordinary citizens being extremely superstitious about it. But in reality, most of them were frauds, and very few people truly mastered "qi."

“Only one in ten million people can master the sense of Qi, and only by mastering the sense of Qi can one truly master 'Qi'. You are a genius. Without any guidance, you have managed to use 'Qi' to this level.” Zhuque continued, “Just now, you must have used 'Qi' to deceive my senses and then appeared behind me without me noticing. And your throwing knives, which can shoot with the range of a sniper rifle, are also because you have mastered 'Qi'.”

"Come to our Divine Sword Camp, and you can become even stronger!" Zhuque continued to persuade.

"Thank you for telling me all this, but I still have no interest in joining your Divine Sword Camp." Qin Tian waved his hand and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Damn it! It seems our Divine Sword Battalion has been too low-key. We have to tell the boss, we have to let these special forces soldiers from the Southeast Military Region know the might of our Divine Sword Battalion." Watching Qin Tian's disappearing figure, Zhuque stomped her foot and muttered to herself in annoyance.

The arrival of Zhuque did indeed give Qin Tian a better understanding of the unit Fan Tianlei had mentioned earlier. The Divine Sword Battalion, a unit that had mastered "Qi," was indeed somewhat unexpected. He hadn't imagined that besides himself, who had mastered "Qi" through the system, there were others in China who possessed it.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Qigong has been practiced in China for a long time. Although most of it is just a hoax, it's not surprising that some truly skilled individuals have emerged from among them, given how long it has survived. It's the mix of truth and falsehood that allows charlatans to profit from the chaos.

Of course, Qin Tian had great confidence in his throwing knife system. His throwing knife Qi refining technique was undoubtedly the strongest, and even if someone in the Divine Sword Camp had mastered "Qi," he was not afraid.

For him, Suzaku's arrival was just a passing episode and had little impact on him. He returned to the military camp.

He was in a great mood because he was in love. Seeing that no one else was in the dormitory, he picked up the mysterious wood carving tool and started carving. Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he had practiced with the mysterious wood carving tool. With his improved knife-throwing skills, he was now much more adept at carving with the mysterious wood carving tool, carving quickly and gaining considerable experience.

An hour passed, and his experience points had increased by five hundred. This seemed insignificant compared to his current tens of thousands of experience points. But little by little, it was still valuable. Besides, it would enhance his woodcarving skills.

His woodcarving skills improved, resulting in better and more valuable carvings. Although he was previously recognized as a master woodcarver, he knew that he was in a state of perfect harmony with nature at that time, enabling him to carve the peace he felt in his heart. He might not be able to maintain that level of skill with other works.

At this moment, he was sculpting a wolf. As he channeled his inner energy into the tip of his knife, he felt increasingly adept at carving. Gradually, the wolf's fur became clearly visible, looking so lifelike that it seemed as if a gust of wind would cause its tail to sway. Especially its eyes, which, after being nourished by his inner energy, appeared incredibly deep and unfathomable. Looking into their eyes felt as if one had truly encountered a ferocious wolf, inspiring a sense of dread. This was all a testament to the improvement in his carving skills, almost reaching the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.

Qin Tian placed the wooden carving on the table and took two steps back to look at it. It seemed to be a real ferocious wolf, and he even vaguely saw the phantom of a giant wolf appearing on the wooden carving, as if it were an illusion.

Ding!
Just as Qin Tian was wondering what was going on, he suddenly heard a notification from the system: "Congratulations, host, you have comprehended the 'Beginner Phantom Wolf' skill through the practice of the mysterious wood carving."

"A new skill, 'Phantom'?" Qin Tian was overjoyed upon hearing the system's notification. Although the system had mentioned the possibility of gaining a new skill from the mysterious wooden carving when he obtained it, this was the first time he had successfully mastered it.

He quickly checked the description of the "Phantom" skill: This skill allows the host to use their own true energy to simulate a phantom that is exactly the same as themselves. The higher the skill level, the more realistic the phantom will be, and the duration of the phantom depends on the amount of true energy the host possesses.

"So it's a skill used to confuse the enemy." After reading the description, Qin Tian found the skill quite useful. In battle, if encountering a powerful enemy, having an extra illusion is equivalent to having an extra life.

Then, he tried it out in his dorm room.

He activated the Phantom skill, and his true energy instantly filled his entire body. A moment later, he felt as if a layer of skin had shed from his body, and then a phantom identical to himself appeared before him.

However, since the Illusion skill is currently only at a basic level, the illusion can be mistaken for the real thing from a distance, but it easily reveals its flaws upon closer inspection. It seems that only by upgrading the Illusion skill can this problem be solved.

Qin Tian checked his experience points. Excluding the odd amounts and the reward for his promotion to colonel, he still had 320,000 experience points.

"Upgrade me to Super Phantom," Qin Tian said magnanimously. He knew this skill would be incredibly useful on the battlefield, so he didn't hesitate to upgrade it ahead of schedule.

"Phantom skill upgrade in progress... Upgrade complete. Congratulations, host, you have acquired the Super Phantom skill. Phantom can be used in conjunction with throwing knives." The system notification sounded.

After the upgrade was completed, more than 10,000 experience points were consumed, leaving Qin Tian with 310,000 experience points.

But seeing the newly conjured phantom effect, Qin Tian felt that spending over ten thousand experience points was worthwhile. The phantom was incredibly realistic; its movements and expressions were exactly the same as his own. Unless touched or attacked, it was virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.

If this illusion is used in conjunction with a teleportation skill, the effect will be even more significant. Leaving an illusion behind while the real character teleports away, the user can then launch throwing knives from a distance while the enemy attacks the illusion. This tactic is simply perfect.

However, Qin Tian also felt that his true energy was draining away very quickly when using the illusion skill. It seemed that this illusion could not be maintained for long, lasting at most only a minute.

But generally speaking, one minute is enough. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and one minute is enough to turn the tide of a war.

The three-day holiday passed quickly.

Because An Ran was busy with classes, Qin Tian could only cultivate alone in the dormitory.

After acquiring the "Blizzard Lotus" and "Phantom" skills, and hearing that some members of the Divine Sword Camp were also practicing Qi cultivation, he felt even more deeply the importance of his own true Qi. Therefore, he had been diligently practicing the Flying Knife Qi Cultivation Technique for the past few days.

Just before the holiday ended, his flying knife qi cultivation technique finally achieved a new breakthrough—during cultivation, he could absorb the spiritual energy hidden between heaven and earth into his body. The feeling was like someone who had lived in a foggy area for a long time suddenly breathing the freshest air on the grassland. After the spiritual energy entered his body, his limbs and bones were nourished, and the comfort was indescribable.

Therefore, after cultivating for the past few days, Qin Tian became more and more addicted to it, and before he knew it, he had broken through.

Ding!
"Congratulations, host, your Flying Knife Qi Refining Technique has broken through to the 'My Heart is Like a Knife' realm. Your true qi has doubled, and the true qi has cleansed your entire body, helping you break through your current limits," the system notification sounded.

"'My heart is like a knife'? Breaking through the current limit, does that mean I can now upgrade to level eight?" Qin Tian was slightly delighted upon hearing this, and then asked.

"Good. As long as the host has enough experience points, you can upgrade your level and throwing knife technique," the system replied. "To upgrade from level seven to level eight, the host needs a total of 300,000 experience points. The host currently has 310,000 experience points, which meets the upgrade requirements. Do you want to upgrade immediately?"

"Wait a minute," Qin Tian replied after thinking for a moment. If he leveled up now, he would only have 10,000 experience points left, which would make him feel insecure. He needed to save some experience points for unforeseen circumstances.

After all, at his current level, there's no urgent need to level up. It would be safer to wait until he's accumulated more experience points from completing the next mission before leveling up.

“Okay, host,” the system replied.

"System, I'd like to ask about the realm divisions of the Flying Knife Qi Refining Technique," Qin Tian asked again. He remembered that he had previously broken through to a realm called "A Knife in My Heart," and now he had reached "My Heart is a Knife." He wondered what the next realm would be.

"The Flying Knife Qi Refining Technique is a Qi refining technique that starts with flying knives. Therefore, as the level increases, the amount of true Qi in the body will also increase. The first level is 'having a knife in hand'. At this level, the flying knife is just a tool, and the host has only mastered superficial skills and has not yet truly integrated with the flying knife."

The second level is "having a knife in one's heart". In this level, the throwing knife seems to have become one with the host, and can be controlled at will, and multiple throwing knives can even be thrown at once.

The third realm is the host's current state of "My Heart is Like a Knife." In this realm, the throwing knife becomes an extension of the host's body; the host is the throwing knife, and the throwing knife is the host. The host has also surpassed their current limits, and with the level increase, the throwing knife can be shot farther and with greater power.

The next realm for the host is 'The Heart of Flying Knives,' where one cultivates their heart into a flying knife, imbuing every gesture with the true essence of a flying knife. This is a realm that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words; once the host reaches it, they will experience its wondrous nature.

The system rarely provided such a detailed answer. (End of Chapter)
