Closing the information panel that only he could see, Richard practiced his Superpowers while waiting for his Magic Power to recover.
Currently, he possessed a total of 8 X-Gene Superpowers.
Among them, Plunder, Super Strength, Super Constitution, Super Self-Healing, and Mental Isolation did not require practice.
As for the remaining Flash, Mental Charm, and Repulsion Ability, only Flash and Repulsion Ability needed practice.
Although Mental Charm also required practice to be used skillfully, he didn't have a suitable target for practice right now.
More importantly, Mental Charm was not suitable for direct combat.
After some thought, Richard decided to start practicing Repulsion Ability first.
He had already used Flash in combat and was quite proficient with it.
Even if he didn't practice it now, it wouldn't have much of an impact.
Without any hesitation, he immediately began practicing Repulsion Ability.
First, it was stones the size of eggs, then stones the size of fists, and finally, large stones weighing dozens of pounds.
Besides solid stones, the river water and the ubiquitous air also became his practice targets.
As he continuously used Repulsion Ability, the stones, river water, leaves, air, and other things around him were constantly pushed away.
After practicing for about half an hour, he found that compressing air and pushing it away was the most convenient.
Air was not only everywhere but also allowed him to adjust the power of the push at any time according to his needs.
Time flew by.
Unknowingly, several hours had passed.
Looking up at the setting sun, he opened the system panel and checked his Magic Power.
[Magic Power: 19]
Does it recover 5 points of Magic Power per hour?
Seeing that the Magic Power recovery speed was similar to what he had expected, he revealed a satisfied smile.
At the current Magic Power recovery speed, he would be able to upgrade Octaslash to Level 2 tomorrow.
Although his Magic Power had not fully recovered, he didn't hesitate, summoning Masamune again and continuing to practice Octaslash.
"Octaslash proficiency +1"
"Octaslash proficiency +1"
Soon, his 19 points of Magic Power were completely depleted.
After using up the Magic Power he had just recovered, he looked at the current proficiency of Octaslash.
[Skill: Octaslash (Level 1, 55/100)]
The proficiency is over half!
Very good!
Putting away Masamune, Richard used Flash to leave the forest.
After several flashes, he returned directly to the RV.
After a quick wash in the RV's small bathroom, he began preparing his dinner for the night.
Soon, he had prepared himself a steak and pasta.
Although the steak and pasta he prepared weren't perfect in terms of color, aroma, and taste, he was quite satisfied.
As a cooking novice, being able to make these things was good enough, what more could he ask for!
After dinner, he began to rest.
When his Magic Power had fully recovered, he used Flash to leave the RV and went into the forest to continue practicing Octaslash.
The next day at noon.
"Octaslash proficiency +1"
As the system sound echoed in his mind, the upgrade information for Octaslash also appeared in his sight.
[Octaslash upgraded!]
[Octaslash (Level 2, 0/500)]
It finally upgraded! Looking at the upgrade information before him, Richard sighed inwardly.
Then, he began to use the Octaslash that had been upgraded to Level 2.
"Octaslash proficiency +1"
Although the system didn't detail the changes after Octaslash upgraded to Level 2, after using the Level 2 Octaslash once, he immediately knew what was different about it.
It was faster and more powerful!
Not only that, the magic power required has also increased.
After casting level 2 Octaslash just once, Richard found that he had lost 3 magic power.
However, due to the upgrade of Octaslash, his total magic power increased by quite a bit.
[Magic Power: 18/50 (Recovers 8 points per hour)]
His magic power limit was originally 30, but now it has been raised to 50.
In addition to the magic power limit increasing to 50 points, his magic power recovery speed also changed from 5 points per hour to 8 points per hour.
Although the magic power limit has increased, overall, the number of times he can cast Octaslash has decreased by nearly half.
Level 1 Octaslash only requires 1 point of magic power, and he could cast it up to 30 times, but now he can only cast level 2 Octaslash 16 times.
If he is in combat, he can freely choose to cast level 1 or level 2 Octaslash.
Not only that, as his level continues to increase, he can also freely control the output of magic power.
For example, using 2 points of magic power to cast an Octaslash with power between level 1 and level 2.
But for now, he cannot do that.
Skill proficiency improvement is different; he must cast the corresponding level of skill.
Simply put, even if he casts level 1 Octaslash a thousand times, the proficiency of Octaslash will not continue to increase.
To continue upgrading, he can only cast level 2 Octaslash.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to pause his practice of Octaslash.
With a total of 50 magic power, he can only increase the proficiency of level 2 Octaslash by a maximum of 16 points.
But if he practices other level 1 skills, such as Earth Shake, Zanshin, Sky Tremor, etc., he can increase his proficiency by 50 points.
He should first upgrade other skills to level 2 to continue increasing his total magic power.
After all skills are upgraded to level 2 and he has enough total magic power, he will continue to upgrade the level of Octaslash.
After formulating his next practice plan, Richard began practicing Zanshin, which can release crescent-shaped sword energy.
"Zanshin proficiency +1"
"Zanshin proficiency +1"
"Zanshin proficiency +1"
Time flew by.
Three days passed without him realizing it.
During these three days, Richard was either practicing Sephiroth's skills or practicing Repulsion Ability.
[Skills: Octaslash (Level 2, 1/500), Earth Shake (Level 2, 1/500), Sky Tremor (Level 1, 0/100), Zanshin (Level 2, 1/500), Iai Slash (Level 1, 86/100), Great Lightning (Level 2, 1/500), Great Blizzard (Level 2, 1/500)]
[Magic Power: 54/150 (Recovers 25 points per hour)]
Compared to when he first transmigrated, he now not only has 5 level 2 skills, but his total magic power has also become 5 times what it was before.
In addition to the upgrade of skills and the increase in magic power, he also had some other changes.
After only three days, his silver short hair had turned into silver long hair.
Although it was far from Sephiroth's level, it was already up to the standard for men's long hair.
If the rapid growth of his hair was beyond his expectation, then the improvement of his template proficiency was within his expectation.
[Current Template: Sephiroth (Fusion 10%)]
With the improvement of his skills and magic power, his template fusion increased from the initial 5% to 10%.
Although it is still a long way from 100%, this rate of improvement is quite good.
At least he is quite satisfied! "Iai Slash proficiency +1"
"Iai Slash proficiency +1"
[Iai Slash upgraded!]
[Iai Slash (Level 2, 0/500)]
After spending 16 magic power to upgrade Iai Slash to level 2, Richard prepared to end his morning practice.
Except for Sky Tremor, the four consecutive slashes performed in the air, which was still level 1, all his other skills had been upgraded to level 2.
This was already very good progress for him, who had only transmigrated to this world a few days ago.
Just as he was about to cast level 2 Iai Slash to see what changes the upgraded Iai Slash had, new system information appeared in his line of sight.
