Chapter 21: Killing the Big Rabbit and Obtaining a New Talent
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Parr put his sword back into its sheath and slowly walked towards the big rabbit. The third battle with the big rabbit officially began.
Squeak!
The big rabbit was not afraid at all. Its dark red eyes stared at Parr. Its hind legs were ready to attack, waiting to give Parr a fatal blow.
Phew!
Parr took another deep breath. Then, he took two steps towards the big rabbit. Holding the hilt tightly in his hand, he was about to draw his sword.
Bang!
The big rabbit took the initiative to attack. It felt that it had peaked, and its condition was unprecedentedly good!
The big rabbit successfully broke through at this critical moment. The back leg charging up power kicked a small hole in the grass. It took the initiative to attack Parr.
“Upper slash!”
The black sword was pulled out instantly. For Parr, this black sword was just right for him. If he used the sword Old Jack had given him, he would not pull it out smoothly.
Squeak!
Just like before, in Parr’s low-level Elemental Vision, the big rabbit’s body flashed with a red light when he had just pulled out his sword. It adjusted its body and dodged Parr’s upper slash.
Squeak!
After dodging Parr’s attack, the big rabbit directly kicked towards Parr’s small head in the air, wanting to strike a fatal blow!
However, this time, Parr unleashed his full strength. The second slash of the Wind Wolf Basic Sword Drawing Technique followed closely behind.
“Slanting slash!”
Squeak!
In an instant, the big rabbit felt a life-and-death crisis in its heart. It did not care about attacking Parr anymore. It had first to save its life, or both sides would suffer serious injuries.
Thus, when Parr’s sword momentum changed, the big rabbit once again relied on its body’s twisting and long ears’ swaying to change direction in midair.
Whoosh!
The slanting slash scraped against the big rabbit’s body. Unfortunately, this strike did not hit even a single strand of the rabbit’s fur. However, it managed to disrupt the rabbit’s attacking rhythm.
Squeak!
The rabbit’s dark red eyes looked at Parr unwillingly. Its body began to fall. At that moment, another strong sense of crisis appeared again in its heart. The rabbit was now exhausted and unable to change directions in the air any longer. A moment later, it heard the final sound of its life.
“Horizontal slash!”
Whoosh!
A sword flashed, and the big rabbit was cut into two pieces, falling to the ground. It struggled unwillingly for a moment before finally dying.
Whoosh!
Parr knelt on one knee, drenched in sweat and breathing heavily. Half of it was because he had recovered from the shock, and the other half was because he had exhausted too much of his physical strength. The situation earlier was hazardous. If he did not have the strength to come up with a second strike, his head would surely have been kicked off by the big rabbit.
After taking a few deep breaths, Parr tried to look at the body of the black sword. Suddenly, he was slapped onto the ground by John, who had rushed over.
Bang!
“Good boy! You’ve completely mastered your Wind Wolf Basic Sword Drawing Technique!”
John’s face was filled with surprise and admiration. Due to his excitement, he accidentally slapped the exhausted Parr onto the ground.
“Bah! I’ll get you for this!”
Parr was shocked! The battle with the big rabbit was already over, but he still had to kiss the ground. He instantly jumped up, turned around, and pounced on John.
“Hahaha, forgive me, I didn’t do it on purpose!”
…
Beside the fire, Parr looked down at his black sword in a daze. John knew that Parr was not in a good state after the battle, so he did not disturb him. Instead, he squatted beside the fire and roasted the big rabbit’s meat silently. He would tear a piece and throw it into his mouth from time to time.
Parr was not actually in a daze, but he looked at his data panel.
“Beep, Life Energy Points detected. Do you want to absorb it?”
“Yes.”
“Beep, absorbing.”
“Beep, absorption completed. A total of 10 Life Energy Points and 1 Spiritual Energy Point obtained.”
“Beep. Obtained Talent: Danger Foresight LVL 1.”
‘The big rabbit has its own talent!’
Parr skipped over the Energy Points he had obtained and looked at the last notifications line. He had now obtained another talent. His face could not help but reveal a smile, but he forcefully suppressed it when he thought of John beside him. However, this did not stop him from cheering in his heart.
“It seems that it is really due to the effect of this black sword. It is truly amazing!”
Suppressing his excitement, Parr looked at the black sword and sighed in his heart. Then, he looked at his data panel.

“I was wondering how that big rabbit managed to dodge my sword attack in advance. It turns out it was because of this Talent!”
After reading the description of the talent, Parr finally understood. Then, he clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down.
“This Talent is not bad! It helps massively with survivability. Let me see how many Spiritual Energy Points I need to level it up.”
“Beep, would you like to use 10 Spiritual Energy Points to level up the talent, Danger Foresight to LVL 2?”
“Yes!”
Seeing that he only needed 10 Spiritual Energy Points, Parr quickly confirmed the upgrade. He only needed to keep 100 Spiritual Energy Points for his usage. When his Life Energy Points reached 100, he would be able to level up his Wake Up On Time talent further.
“Beep, 10 Spiritual Energy Points have been used. Talent upgrade completed!”
Danger Foresight LVL 2 (clearly sense impending danger and make an accurate response)
“Not bad! By looking at this description, the upgrade was not in vain.”
Parr nodded in satisfaction. He then looked at the consumption for Danger Foresight LVL 3. It requires 100 Spiritual Energy Points.
“As expected.”
Not surprisingly, it requires another massive consumption. Parr closed his eyes and sighed.
Spiritual Energy Points were not easy to obtain! If he had not killed that Bronze-level cultist, Parr’s Spiritual Energy Points would have been reduced to zero.
“I can’t consume it for the time being. Spiritual Energy Points can only be obtained by killing people or Magical Beasts. I have to use it sparingly.” Parr decided.
“Little boy, over here!”
At this time, John, who had already finished half of the big rabbit’s meat, patted his stomach. He was full, and then he remembered that Parr hadn’t eaten yet! So he pushed the rest of the roasted meat in front of Parr, making it known that he hadn’t forgotten about him.
Parr closed the data panel and rolled his eyes at John, now picking his teeth. He could see that this teacher of his was a bit improper. Not only was he a sc*mbag, but he also liked to bully children.
“Do you want to eat? If not, let’s go already.”
John noticed Parr’s gaze, and for some reason, he felt a little scared. He quickly raised his hand and rubbed Parr’s hair.
“Eat.”
Parr retracted his gaze and hit away John’s hand that had messed up his hair again. He picked up a small barbeque stick and used it to eat.
“It smells so good! It’s even better than the rabbit meat from before!”
…
“Water! I want to drink water! Uncle John, when will we reach the river?”
During the afternoon, John and Parr finally finished the drinking water they had brought with them. Since the roast meat for lunch was a little salty, Parr’s mouth was dry by evening. He felt that he was going to die of dehydration.
“We’re almost there.”
John also looked listless. He was thirsty too!
Logically speaking, the two of them should not have ended up in this situation. The amount of drinking water they had brought had been carefully calculated, and it was enough for them to consume. According to John’s plan, the two of them would reach a small river in the forest by the evening. They would be able to replenish their water source and then walk out of the deep forest in one go.
However, the dead Knight they met yesterday and the battle between Parr and the big rabbit this afternoon had delayed the two of them for quite some time. Therefore, they were now dying of thirst.
“Uncle John, how much further is it?”
The two of them walked for a while more. Parr could not help but ask again.
“We’re almost there,” John replied again. After that, the two of them walked until dark, but they still did not reach the predetermined small river.
“I can’t take it anymore!”
Parr stopped and took out a few wild fruits from his pocket. His eyes showed pain, and in the end, the desire to quench his thirst gained the upper hand.
These wild fruits could only relieve his thirst for a moment, but he would become even more thirsty after a while. After consuming a few and feeling the thirst getting stronger, Parr regretted his decision.
The experienced John would not make such a mistake, so he was in a better condition than Parr at the moment. However, because he had eaten a bigger portion of the salty roasted rabbit meat in the afternoon, he was also thirsty to the point that he could not stand it anymore.
Therefore, John climbed to the top of a tall tree and looked in the direction where the two of them were going. Then, his face revealed a look of joy. He turned over, jumped down, picked up Parr, and ran with one hand. The weight on Parr’s body was as light as a feather in his hand.
“Uncle John, what are you doing?”
Parr looked confused. The wild fruit in his hand fell off.
“We have arrived! The river is in front of us.” John explained. A red Battle Qi rose from his body. He ran faster than before. Thanks to the Battle Qi, he could also protect Parr and his body from being scratched by the branches that blocked his way.
“Uncle John, it’s so dark and so far away. How did you manage to see it?”
John ran for a few minutes and covered at least five miles, but he hadn’t reached the river yet. Parr looked at the dark environment around him, and a question arose in his heart. As far as he knew, John didn’t have Night Vision. How was John able to see so far in such a dark environment? In any case, where is the river?
“Hehehe, little boy, save your questions for later. You’ll know when we get there.”
John did not answer. Instead, he kept Parr in suspense. Parr’s curiosity got stronger than ever.
“Why are you being so mysterious?”
