...

He tossed the Middle Level Ninja Token into the Props Box, contemplating when to give this thing to Tang Feifei first.

Originally, he wanted to give it to his mother Qin Qing, but he decided against it.

Qin Qing has a relatively calm disposition, and her life is very peaceful, and Qin Fang doesn't want to disrupt this peace. Giving her the Middle Level Ninja Token really holds little significance.

On the other hand, Qin Fang feels it's necessary to specially protect Tang Feifei, mainly because he doesn't want the incident where Cao Chun held her hostage to happen again...

That time really gave Qin Fang a huge fright.

If not for Qin Fang's trip to Yangcheng where he acquired a puppet person, even his incredibly resilient body wouldn't have been able to withstand that powerful bomb.

If Tang Feifei had the power to defend herself, comparatively, Qin Fang could also be at ease a lot more...

Of course, this is just Qin Fang's first target. Next, he would try to ensure every woman he has connection with would possess considerable strength...

The Japanese side might not yet realize that because of this token, before Qin Fang officially steps into Japan, many unfortunate ones are already marked by him. By then, it will depend on whose luck is worse and ends up bumping into Qin Fang's gun...

"And there's one more thing..."

Putting away the token, Qin Fang went on to look at another item.

"This is..."

The other item that Miyamoto dropped out was actually a book...

And it seemed to exude an ancient aura, appearing as if it had existed for a very long time.

Seeing this ancient book, Qin Fang's face immediately showed astonishment, while also revealing a hint of anticipation.

If this thing was obtained from somewhere else, Qin Fang naturally wouldn't care much, even if it was a very precious ancient book.

After all, he's not an archaeologist, so he doesn't need to understand the significance of ancient books... of course, some martial arts manuscripts would be an exception.

But martial arts manuscripts are not that easy to come by. Those existing are mostly held by major sects and are not easily passed on to the outside, and even disciples of the sect have to go through layers of testing to have a chance to cultivate...

As for those passed down among civilians... Qin Fang can basically pass them directly, since after that great upheaval, many precious ancient texts and historical materials were destroyed, let alone these things.

And over these past few decades, National Arts have long declined significantly, and there are even fewer people who would preserve such things... so Qin Fang simply doesn't believe that such martial arts manuscripts have been passed down among the people.

The ancient book in Qin Fang's hands was dropped by Miyamoto, which is clearly different from those ancient books circulated in the outside world...

To Qin Fang's belief, there's over an eighty percent chance that the book dropped is a Skill Book.

As for what kind of skill it contains, it depends on luck. It might be really good, or it might be quite average, it's hard to define.

Before the book is identified, it's in a chaotic state without any font, so Qin Fang used his Scouting Skill on this book.

"Wood Release (Fragmented)."

Very soon, the result came out, and this book also underwent a significant transformation.

Originally in a chaotic state, it now turned into a ragged book, its cover seemed to have been torn off, and even the end part seemed to be missing...

This is a fragmented book!

"Oh, it's still a good thing..."

Seeing this, Qin Fang was even more delighted, even to the point of feeling excited and ecstatic.

Frankly speaking, the previous Middle Level Ninja Token, while good, was of no use to Qin Fang himself, as his strength far exceeds that of a Middle Level Ninja, not much lesser even when compared to an Upper Ninja.

But this is a Skill Book, even if it's a fragmented one. For Qin Fang, that's not an issue. As his skill proficiency increases and his level goes up, the originally incomplete skill will gradually be completed, so for Qin Fang, this fragmented book is just as good as a complete one...

And what made him feel extremely pleased is that this skill is very useful to him.

Seeing this skill, Qin Fang realized why Miyamoto could enter that room without making a sound; it turned out to be because of this.

The room storing the safe, although well-guarded by various security measures surrounding it, Yamamoto didn't want to make it too special, so the door to the room was the same as others, all made of solid wood.

Wood Release, naturally it's an escape skill that can be used on wood, one of the secret techniques of the Five Elements Escape Sect, and among those stolen by the little devils long ago.

The Five Elements Escape Techniques of the Five Elements Escape Sect are considered unbeatable, providing significant leverage for the sect within the Thousand Gate.

Unfortunately, no one knows what means the little devils employed back then to steal some of the secret techniques. Though incomplete, they used these fragments to research and develop these twisted arts known as ninjutsu...

Ninjutsu was indeed initiated by the little devils, but its foundation is the escape skills and martial arts of Dragon Country, merely transformed with a new guise. Nevertheless, some children believe ninjutsu is impressive, not realizing these are ancestral legacies...

Wood Release can be used on wood; this wooden door is the perfect medium, allowing Miyamoto to silently pass through the door unnoticed by the two people inside the room.

Had it not been for Qin Fang's powerful mini-map function, even he wouldn't believe that Miyamoto could achieve this...

This isn't to say Qin Fang couldn't detect Miyamoto without the mini-map; if Miyamoto got slightly closer, Qin Fang, with just his hearing and perception, could sense his presence!

Thus, Miyamoto's downfall was due to his insufficient strength and his insistence on attacking Qin Fang, leading to his eventual demise...

Of course, ninjas like Miyamoto often end up in ruin; even if not killed by Qin Fang, they meet their end by others, seldom living long.

Yet, when killed by others, nothing explodes, whereas when slain by Qin Fang, you can reap a couple of good items... At least Qin Fang didn't waste his efforts fruitlessly.

"Didn't anticipate, actually managed to make it explode..."

Before killing Miyamoto, Qin Fang had thought about causing an explosion, but never expected to trigger this skill; it was indeed an unexpected delight for Qin Fang.

Without hesitation, Qin Fang swiftly tapped the skill book, which instantly turned into a stream of light, penetrating his body...

Consequently, a new skill appeared on Qin Fang's skill panel... Wood Release.

This skill was indeed extraordinary; upon learning it, Qin Fang discovered it immediately derived a major skill... Escape Skill.

Under this major skill Escape Skill, aside from Wood Release, there are also Metal, Water, Fire, and Earth escapes, though currently gray, even the major Escape Skill itself is gray...

"Seems I need to gather five types of escape to synthesize the true Five Elements Escape Skill..."

Seeing this, Qin Fang roughly understood that extrapolating skills isn't impossible, but it may not succeed every time, and the difficulty level might also be a consideration.

For instance, Qin Fang's Cooking Skill once derived from the Noodle-Pulling Skill, but the Escape Skill didn't derive directly from learning Wood Release.

Of course, if Qin Fang were to enhance Wood Release to intermediate, advanced, or even grandmaster level, whether the Escape Skill level would also improve, Qin Fang couldn't be sure, only hoping it would upgrade directly like the Cooking Skill; that would be ideal...

Learning such a skill, if not personally trying it out, certainly wouldn't make sense.

Qin Fang glanced around, noticing the table in the room, made of solid wood and not small in area; it seemed a very suitable target.

Approaching the table, Qin Fang placed one hand on it, and immediately deployed the Wood Release skill...

With the Wood Release skill activated, Qin Fang distinctly felt his hand relax, and his entire palm seemed to merge with the table in front of him.

Whew~~

This change didn't alarm Qin Fang; he simply breathed lightly, gradually merging his entire body into the table before him.

In short time, Qin Fang's entire being vanished, as if his body completely fused with the table...

"There's a time limit..."

Not idle, Qin Fang quickly discovered a time limit to this escape skill; from the moment he started merging with the table, a countdown appeared, starting from thirty seconds, ticking down as Qin Fang fully integrated with the table just as the countdown hit zero.

Then...

Once the countdown finished, the Wood Release skill naturally lost effect.

To Qin Fang's dismay, he shockingly found himself stuck inside the table, hardly able to move. Trying to twist side to side, even slightly exerting force, felt like the sturdy table might quake apart.

"Damn... more practice is needed!"

Seeing himself stuck within the table, Qin Fang was truly at a loss for words; being his first use of Wood Release, encountering such a tiny mishap was understandable.

Still, this awkward situation was quite vexing for him...

"Luckily no one saw, otherwise who knows what they'd think!"

Qin Fang didn't bother worrying about the table disintegrating anymore; with a slight body shift, he seemed to shrink a bit, freeing himself from the table, seizing the moment to slip out...
