Tss—
Qian pulled the short sword from Ishida Shinsuke's heart, watched the man's corpse slowly topple to the ground, then swept his gaze around him.
By now, those Rock Ninja had already been split up and surrounded by the leaf ninja, plunging into a bitter fight.
After all, while Iwagakure had hidden part of its manpower, there were only a little over a hundred of them altogether. And on their side?
Nearly five hundred in all!
The two sides were simply not on the same level.
So Qian was not worried about the outcome of this battle, only about whether the push afterward would go smoothly.
But that was for later. For now, he should check the gains from this fight first!
Qian had not forgotten his main purpose in joining the Combat Unit. If the gains fell short of expectations, he would not put in too much effort after this.
Opening the Status Panel, Qian's gaze locked straight onto the "Swordsmanship" option in the Skill Slot.
He saw that the Proficiency behind it had increased by more than twenty points compared to before. That was almost equal to half a day's worth of training.
Qian was very satisfied with that.
Looks like I can't slack off after this.
Thinking this, Qian closed the Status Panel, then began searching the battlefield for a new target.
Very soon, a sword-wielding Rock Village Jonin entered his field of vision.
After observing carefully for a while, Qian determined that the man's Swordsmanship was average.
But even a mosquito's leg was still meat. Qian did not disdain it. With a few flickers, he arrived directly in front of this Rock Village Jonin.
Clang—
A crisp metallic collision rang out.
Qian raised the short sword in his hand and blocked the Rock Village Jonin's strike.
