The thing Qin Fang was most satisfied with was that Miyamoto Musashi was the third Grandmaster-level expert killed by him. The previous Hua Rumeng and Tang Huaiyuan didn't count as being killed by Qin Fang, not even leaving a piece of crap for him. This time, Miyamoto Musashi finally left something behind.
"The Earth Ninja Token... it finally came out!"
Qin Fang pulled Miyamoto Musashi's body ashore and directly picked up the items on Miyamoto Musashi's body. He was very much expecting what Miyamoto Musashi would drop.
His luck was really quite good; the thing he most anticipated was the very first thing to be pulled out. Just that one item alone was worth the price of admission.
Ninjas are also a branch of Martial Artists, and ninjas have a very strict hierarchy. For example, the most junior is the Genin, then Middle Level Ninja, followed by Upper Ninja...
It wasn't until Upper Ninja that one truly entered the ranks of ninja experts, with a strength equivalent to Grandmaster Level...
The three levels, upper, middle, and lower, are collectively known as Human-level Ninjas.
Beyond that, there are Grandmaster-level Ninjas, referred to as Earth Nin... both Miyamoto Musashi and Kawada Musashi belonged to this group, but Miyamoto Musashi had already reached the peak of an Earth Nin, only one step away from entering a higher level as a Sky Ninja.
The Sky Ninja is considered the pinnacle that ninjas can reach, with a strength equivalent to a Great Grandmaster in the martial arts world. Reaching this level makes one a top-tier master in the martial world, as ninjas are already terrifying entities. Adding such powerful cultivation makes them unimaginably horrifying.
Legends speak of a more frightening level above Sky Ninja called the Divine Ninja, but this is just a rumor, and such an entity has never appeared.
Someone once said that in the war back then, Dao Shen Sect's Great Priest was actually a Divine Ninja, but unfortunately, none of this can be verified as that Great Priest was long buried in the Dragon Country...
Miyamoto Musashi was at the peak of Earth Nin and just a step away from joining the ranks of Sky Ninja, but unfortunately, he no longer had the opportunity as he eventually turned into this Earth Ninja Token that Qin Fang found.
"With it, Qin Zi can finally have the power of self-preservation…"
Looking at the Earth Ninja Token in his hand, Qin Fang also displayed an excited smile. This token has a crucial role in Qin Fang's upcoming tasks.
The Earth Ninja Token is naturally to be given to Qin Zi for use, so Qin Zi can directly leap to a Grandmaster-level tier and won't require as meticulous protection as Qin Fang and the others, being able to completely self-preserve...
The reason Qin Fang agreed with Hattori Sanzo's proposal to attack the Musashi School was primarily to take down a competent Grandmaster-level expert and get an Earth Ninja Token for Qin Zi, though he hadn't specifically planned to kill Miyamoto Musashi then.
This time, by taking out Miyamoto Musashi, the mission was completed with excess results...
Such an Earth Nin Token, despite not directly promoting Qin Zi to the Earth Nin Peak, should securely bring him to mid-level Earth Nin.
With this, Qin Zi's strength would become the strongest among them, surpassing even Hattori Sanzo slightly.
With such strength, Qin Zi's upcoming tasks with the Shiling Group will gain considerable assistance...
At least, before Qin Zi takes over the Shiling Group, unless very powerful experts are sent by the Dao Shen Sect, it will be tough to assassinate Qin Zi.
Seeing this first item, Qin Fang was already very satisfied, feeling that even if there were no more items, it was already very worthwhile.
Of course, when Qin Fang saw the second item, he felt his previous thought was ridiculous because this second item was something Qin Fang had longed for.
"The Secret Realm Map... it really was in Miyamoto Musashi's hand!"
The second item was indeed the Secret Realm Map that Qin Fang had been seeking, though it wasn't retrieved from the Musashi School's treasury but directly dropped from Miyamoto Musashi, saving Qin Fang a lot of trouble...
Attempting to kill someone like Miyamoto Musashi, a Grandmaster Peak Strongman, with just under Grandmaster-level strength, is something no one would willingly do, except perhaps Qin Fang... it's pretty much a death march!
Yet, this supposed death march was achieved by Qin Fang... it was a miracle, but also an inevitability!
Facing such great danger, if Qin Fang didn't get what he wanted, it would be a significant loss... Thankfully, heaven seemed fair and didn't let Qin Fang's efforts go in vain, allowing the two-needed items to generously drop from Miyamoto Musashi...
Of course, it might also be because the step Qin Fang took in killing above his level was so large that he obtained a certain drop-rate bonus, leading to such harvest!
"With the Secret Realm Map in hand, it really saves a lot of worries..."
Having this piece of the Secret Realm Map, Qin Fang now possesses two pieces, reaching half of the map, though these two pieces together can't find the Secret Realm's location, but it still makes Qin Fang quite satisfied.
The most crucial part is having this Secret Realm Map in hand saves Qin Fang a lot of effort, at least sparing Qin Fang the travail of searching.
The treasury in the Musashi School undoubtedly hides many treasures, some of which are the Musashi School's collections over the years, and many were plundered and looted from surrounding countries.
