Reborn into solo leveling as a Phoenix

Fang Yuan entered his motel room, the door clicking shut behind him as the weight of the day's battle began to settle in. His body was sore, but there were no wounds. The fatigue from the battle was setting in, and though his mana reserves were still full at 95%, the weariness in his bones was undeniable. He had pushed himself hard in the dungeon, and his mind replayed the fight again and again. He could still hear the clash of weapons, the roar of the Hobgoblin Knight, the crackle of lightning, and the biting cold of ice.

But now, in the quiet solitude of his room, Fang Yuan focused on the next step—his growth. His hands went instinctively to the small desk where he had left his Hunter's card. He retrieved it and studied it for a moment, his gaze flicking over the A-rank healer title embossed on the card. It felt like a small but meaningful achievement, one that signified the beginning of what was to come.

He sat down on the bed and checked his current status screen, the system's familiar interface unfolding in his mind. The previous battle had granted him valuable experience, which was now reflected in his stats. He felt the subtle shift as his body adjusted to his new power level. His hands moved to tap his screen, reviewing the details carefully.

Fang Yuan smiled inwardly. The boost in Vitality, gained from leveling up, had brought his stat to 90, providing a significant buffer for his overall survivability. However, it was his agility that had become his focus. The extra 55 status points he had earned needed to be distributed carefully.

His decision was simple. His swords, Ice Wolf and Lightning Wolf, already boosted his strength. The attributes of the swords—freezing and electrical energy—enhanced his power and speed. He didn't need to invest more in strength for now. Agility, however, was essential. Agility affected not only his movement speed but also his ability to dodge attacks, control his weapons more effectively, and even access more combat skills as he grew.

Fang Yuan quickly distributed all his remaining points into Agility, boosting it from 10 to a total of 65. He could already feel the difference in his body, the way it responded to his command. His movements were quicker, his senses sharper. With his six eyes already amplifying his perception, this boost to agility would make him almost untouchable in battle. Every step felt more fluid, more in tune with the world around him.

He rested for a moment, his body still slightly drained, before turning his thoughts inward again. His mana was in a steady state—95% after the battle. With his precise control over mana granted by his Six Eyes, he didn't waste any during the fight. His Regeneration Flames skill had helped him recover a lot of his energy, too, although his fatigue was still at 47%. He had learned from past experiences not to underestimate his body's need for rest, and his mana control ensured he could avoid draining himself.

Fang Yuan had spent the last few minutes reflecting on the Hobgoblin Knight's battle tactics. He had carefully analyzed the monster's movements and abilities. One thing had stood out: the knight had used a unique technique to reinforce its strength, making its strikes far more devastating than his own. While Fang Yuan could deal immense damage with his Storm Blade and Frostbite Slash, the Hobgoblin Knight's ability to amplify its physical prowess through mana reinforcement was a technique he would need to understand fully.

He closed his eyes, his mind replaying the entire battle once again. As he did, his Reactive Copy skill activated, absorbing the essence of the battle. He could feel the knowledge surging into his mind. The way the Hobgoblin Knight had gathered and reinforced its mana within its muscles, creating a physical barrier against attacks, was a critical detail. Fang Yuan now had a deeper understanding of how to use mana reinforcement in his own battles.

Mana Reinforcement: A technique that allows the user to reinforce their body or an object by channeling mana through it, increasing its strength, defense, or other attributes. By focusing mana into the muscles or structures of an object, the user can temporarily enhance their physical performance or harden the target to absorb more damage. This skill is often used for strengthening the user's attacks or for defense against more powerful opponents.

Fang Yuan smiled. Mana Reinforcement was now his, gained through his thoughtful analysis and his Reactive Copy skill. He felt the skill embed itself in his consciousness, ready to be utilized in future battles.

As this thought cane mind fang Yuan heard a system notification

[You have gained a new skill

Mana Reinforcement (level 1)]

Seeing this fang Yuan was a very happy to say the lease

The acquisition of Mana Reinforcement meant he could now reinforce his body during battle, allowing him to increase his overall strength and durability. Combined with his elemental swords, this would make him a formidable force in the future. The technique would allow him to match power with monsters who relied on brute strength, like the Hobgoblin Knight.

Fang Yuan leaned back on the bed, activating his Regeneration Flames skill to restore his fatigue. The Asura Blue flames, now swirling around him, enveloped his body in a soothing embrace. The flames, despite their appearance, did not burn or harm anything. They simply restored his energy, draining away the fatigue that had built up during the battle.

[Regeneration Flames (level 1):

Restores fatigue and health and promotes rapid recovery of both mana and physical exhaustion.

Duration: 1 minute

Cooldown: 20 seconds]

The flames engulfed him, and he felt the weariness in his body gradually dissipate. His fatigue dropped from 47% to 0% within seconds, and his energy was restored. The deep blue light that surrounded him calmed his mind and body, allowing him to fully recover.

As he stood, feeling refreshed, he turned to his inventory. His swords were safely stored within, their elemental power resting dormant but ready to be wielded again. He reached into his bag and retrieved the Essence Stones, carefully inspecting them. He had gathered 60 normal stones, each one pulsing with energy, and one large, glowing Essence Stone from the Hobgoblin Knight boss. These would be valuable for either crafting or selling.

Fang Yuan's thoughts turned to the future. Now, with his increased Agility, Mana Reinforcement skill, and the mastery of his elemental swords, he was ready to take on even more difficult challenges. The dungeon had been a proving ground, and he had emerged victorious.

There was more to come—stronger monsters, tougher battles, and perhaps even more revelations about his own potential. But for now, he was content. His growth had been exponential, and he felt stronger than ever.
