Chapter 131: Chapter 90: Genus and species_3

"You saw it before, my [Vortex Slash]... which profession should it belong to?"

On the Aifala Continent, to obtain a Professional Level, one must meet these conditions:

Master three battle skills corresponding to the profession, and hone one of them to the "Master" level.

With the foundation of his previous life and the potential bonuses from the system panel, Xia Nan has already raised [Vortex Slash] to Full Level.

And this means he only needs to learn two more battle skills to complete his promotion.

However, what troubles him is that to this day, he still has not figured out the specific category of [Vortex Slash].

He could only hope that Frogon, whose experience and strength far exceed ordinary professionals, could help him solve this puzzle.

But unexpectedly,

Frogon simply shook his head lightly.

"Very difficult."

The number of battle skills in this world is more numerous than the snowflakes swirling in an ice storm.

Even those human "Legendaries" atop the pyramid cannot identify the affiliation of every battle skill.

Especially with popular professions like "warrior" and "Wanderer," which have countless battle skills under their branches.

——Even the adventurer association itself continues to collect and update a large number of battle skills every year.

Additionally, due to varying geographical locations, different branches of the association have obvious changes in commonly listed skill types, for example:

The adventurer association of Suo Yu Bay tends to collect skill types favoring underwater combat and long-range attacks.

Meanwhile, the Rock Shadow City branch, located in the Dark Territory, possesses a large number of skills suitable for narrow space deployment.

Under such circumstances, Frogon can only judge based on the characteristics of [Vortex Slash] that it belongs to a basic close combat type profession.

It seems as if he sensed the disappointment in Xia Nan’s eyes.

The barbarian looked up at the sky, suddenly got up.

Turned around and left the campsite.

"Follow me."

A muffled voice came.

Xia Nan quickly followed.

...

[Teeth Hunting]

Although it originated from the Highland Tribe, the battle skill itself does not rely on "Anger," the core power of the barbarians.

It’s merely the pure physical skill catalyzed by a harsh natural environment.

Therefore, it’s like the overlapping gap of two circles.

It simultaneously belongs to two basic professions:

[warrior] and [barbarian].

This is one of the reasons why Frogon decided to teach Xia Nan [Teeth Hunting], despite being unable to confirm the affiliation of [Vortex Slash].

And on the other hand, the most crucial reason.

Which made him think Xia Nan didn’t need to worry about having to start over due to choosing the wrong skill type.

Is because...

"Creak."

The branch lying on the meadow was crushed under the falling leather boot, emitting a crisp sound.

Xia Nan looked at the goblin cave before him, releasing a familiar and repulsive odor.

His mouth twitched slightly.

"Here again?"

He didn’t actually feel much resistance in his heart.

[Teeth Hunting] has been practiced in the air for two days, and he has mastered the basic power techniques.

According to his impression of the barbarian’s path, it is indeed appropriate to use real combat to accelerate the proficiency of the battle skills.

After all, the other party’s time is also limited, so being a bit aggressive is quite normal.

But unexpectedly,

This time, Frogon’s actions were entirely different from before.

Not only did he not restrain his aura in advance, allowing the majestic pressure from a high-level professional to spread wantonly in the air,

he also took the lead, guiding Xia Nan straight into the cave.

While still in the passageway at the entrance, Xia Nan already heard the panicked and fearful cries of goblins deep in the cave that had sensed the uninvited guests.

Suddenly,

Awooo—

A long, piercing wolf howl, along with a chilling cold wind, echoed between the stone walls.

Xia Nan felt goosebumps rise all over his body.

At the same time, the chaotic and ear-piercing cries seemed to be swallowed by the howl of the wolf, vanishing without a trace.

When the two of them entered the cavernous space deep inside the cave, nearly thirty goblins were lying haphazardly, eyes rolled back and unconscious on the ground.

In the entire venue, there was only one Bear Goblin who seemed just to have reached adulthood, clutching a nail hammer in its hand, trembling and curling up in a corner of the cave.

Xia Nan showed a peculiar expression.

He unexpectedly saw deep fear on the face of this bloodthirsty, vicious demon, who has slain countless low-level adventurers and displayed an inherently malevolent nature.

Frogon halted his steps and casually picked up a wooden stick from the ground, which came from one of the goblins.

The surface was covered in frost.

He gently tossed it towards the direction of the Bear Goblin.

Bam—

Ice crystals mixed with broken stones exploded instantly in the dim cave.

The stick embedded firmly into the rocky wall.

The Bear Goblin’s weapon-wielding right hand was cleanly severed, falling to the ground.

The force was controlled perfectly, causing no other harm.

He even thoughtfully sealed the wound with frost to prevent excessive bleeding and ensure the Bear Goblin retained fighting strength during training.

"Go ahead."

He said so.
