Chapter 737 Rank and the Witch

No wonder…that makes sense.

Fu Qinghai suddenly understood.

No wonder he felt that the Force on this planet was so abundant. He thought he had stayed in a universe without the Force for too long. Suddenly, he came to the official universe of Star Wars. The huge contrast made him feel that the Force was everywhere.

But in fact, if we calm down and think about it carefully, even in the legendary Star Wars universe where the Force is even more devastating, it is impossible for the Force to be so abundant on every planet. Every flower, grass and tree has the Force hidden in them, and the air we breathe contains the breath of the Force.

Until I saw a wild Rank.

Fu Qinghai finally understood.

Because this is Dathomir!
Just like in the Warhammer 40K universe, there are naturally some areas with weak reality barriers, such as Caliban, Istvaan, and Prospero. Because of the weak reality barriers in these places, psychic phenomena occur frequently and there are many psychics.

A similar setting also exists in the Star Wars multiverse. The level of Force activity on some planets is significantly greater than other places in the universe, making these places particularly suitable for Force practice. Over a long period of time, various groups studying the Force or sects worshiping the Force will naturally emerge.

For example: Ilen, the planet with the largest known reserves of Kyber crystals in the galaxy; Korriban, the birthplace of the Sith people and Sith culture; and Dathomir, the happy home of the infamous Dathomir witches.

According to the information Fu Qinghai has learned.

Dathomir is not located around the main hyperspace channel and is relatively remote. The entire planet only produces two main materials: witches and ranks - neither of which are good things, which leads to the planet's bad reputation among astronauts. Although Dathomir has stunning natural beauty, its greatest reputation in the galaxy is still as a home for savage animals and a territory of dark magic.

There are Ranks in many places in the Milky Way, but those Ranks are brought there by traffickers. Just like there are no tigers in the American continent in the real world, but the United States is the country with the largest number of tigers, more than the birthplace of tigers. Many gangsters in the Star Wars universe like to raise Ranks, just like some dignitaries in the United States like to raise tigers, using this creature as a means of showing off their status and power.

The birthplace of the Ranke beast is Dathomir.

The wild Rank, the magnificent and beautiful natural scenery, the ubiquitous breath of the Force... Adding these three together, Fu Qinghai can basically conclude that this planet is Dathomir.

Fu Qinghai rubbed his chin and began to think.

At this point in time...

What is Dathomir supposed to be like?
Before the founding of the Galactic Empire, during the Clone Wars, during the Battle of Dathomir, Count Dooku ordered General Grievous to lead the Confederacy of Independent Systems' robot army to sweep across Dathomir. Most of the Nightsisters were killed in this battle, and only a few managed to escape.

The Nightsisters are quite powerful. As a planet that exports human resources, the commissions brought by the assassins, mercenaries, and bounty hunters acted by the Nightsisters and Nightbrothers are Dathomir's main source of income, and it is also one of the reasons why Dathomir is notorious.

However, the Nightsisters may have a good reputation as assassins, but they are no match for an organized regular army. Even though they fight in the complex jungle terrain and use the Force to summon an army of undead, they are still defeated by the endless B1 robots of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the cluster of hover tanks of the Trade Federation.

The Battle of Dathomir is known in history as "the materialism of the Confederacy of Independent Systems dealt a heavy blow to the feudal superstition of Dathomir."

According to the plot that Fu Qinghai knew, after the Battle of Dathomir, not only were the Nightsisters slaughtered, but even their leader, Mother Talzin, died - at least physically. After that, she could only continue to cause trouble in a soul state similar to that of the Sith ghosts and Jedi spirits. In other words, there may be few living people left in the entire Dathomir now.

"Ouch, ow, ow..."

The Rank a hundred meters away was still feasting, blood dripping from between its teeth.

No matter what the current situation of Dathomir is, it will not affect my course of action in this reincarnation world.

Fu Qinghai thought to himself and pushed aside the reeds.

"Crack."

The withered branches of water plants made subtle sounds.

The hunchbacked beast that was eating in the distance suddenly turned its head, and its dark eyes stared at Fu Qinghai. The narrow nostrils between its eyes twitched, as if it was judging whether the human in front of it could be worthy of an after-meal dessert.

Fu Qinghai had a calm and fearless expression as he walked forward step by step in the swamp water that was as deep as his calves.

Rank seemed to be angered by his provocative behavior. He raised his head and let out a deafening roar. Then he abandoned the prey in front of him that had been eaten to the point that only the skeleton was left, turned around and pounced on him. His disproportionately long claws pressed into the swamp, splashing water several meters high, and he rushed towards this side using his hands and feet.

Fu Qinghai stopped and stood still.

The Rank beast splashed mud and water all over the sky as it rushed forward, like an overloaded truck speeding. Despite its huge size, its speed was not slow at all. It crawled and scrambled in the swamp in just a few seconds and covered a long distance. It was less than fifteen meters away from Fu Qinghai, and the mud spots were splashed on his face.

Fu Qinghai raised one palm and pushed forward.

"Wow--"

The invisible force was like a gust of strong wind, and the ten-meter-tall monster instantly broke away from the water and flew up. Its limbs still maintained the forward flapping motion and it scratched twice in the air. Then its back slammed hard into the swamp, and after somersaulting backwards in the mud, it finally came to a stop.

Rankmon was completely confused.

It struggled to stand up in the churning mud and shook its head left and right. A large amount of mud and water flowed down its head and back. Its whole body was covered in mud. It looked so miserable, like a drowned chicken that had been soaked in mud for a long time. It did not have the demeanor of a top predator at all.

Force push.

Fu Qinghai lowered his raised hand.

"Roar--"

Rank shook his head, opened his big mouth with sharp teeth and roared at Fu Qinghai. Transparent and sticky saliva gushed forward along with the roaring airflow. Unwillingly, he pounced forward again and rushed over with a "grunt". When he was four meters away from Fu Qinghai, he stood up and waved his two sharp claws high.

"Boom."

Fu Qinghai raised his hand and suddenly spread out his five fingers.

Invisible energy exploded in front of Rank in an instant. The sensitive and fragile black eyeballs soon secreted a large amount of tears under such stimulation. The giant beast subconsciously closed its eyes, stopped its steps, and swung its claws in front of its face, but it touched nothing. There was only a blurry tear in its vision.

Blinded by the Force.

Fu Qinghai observed the effect of this move.

About thirty seconds later, Rank, who had been spinning in circles like a headless fly, finally blinked his eyes and regained his vision. He turned around and saw the human standing next to him.

Rank pressed it down with one claw.

Fu Qinghai stood in place without making any forceful movements to push off the ground. The soles of his feet were still stuck in the mud of the swamp. However, at the moment when the giant claw swung down, he suddenly and inexplicably moved a long way to the right, as if someone had pushed him hard. He dodged Rank's giant claw just in time, and his calves split the water waves, making a "splashing" sound.

Inertial acceleration, also known as Force sprint.

After Rank's claw missed, he grabbed with another claw. Fu Qinghai stumbled forward and dodged with an unexpected angle and movement. Rank waved his claw again, and Fu Qinghai dodged again. The beast was so anxious that it roared repeatedly, waving its two claws left and right, grabbing, slapping, pouncing, and biting. However, Fu Qinghai was like a dandelion seed swaying in the wind, floating here and there but not touching him at all.

Fu Qinghai has completely understood inertial acceleration.

Offensive Force skills, or all Force skills that use telekinesis, ultimately all have the same purpose. Force push and Force lift are the most basic forms of application. Inertial acceleration can actually be seen as another form of Force push - instead of pushing others, you push yourself.

This Force skill allows one to instantly leap out from a stationary state, or suddenly stop while moving, instantly accelerate a second time, or suddenly change direction.

Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos once complained that the "inertial acceleration" Force skill was useless and would only dislocate or fracture his shoulder. Quinlan Vos is the protagonist of many Star Wars comics and one of George Lucas' favorite characters. He is also a powerful force-sensitive who can "cultivate both light and darkness", but he still can't master the inertial acceleration skill.

Indeed, because inertial acceleration is equivalent to using the Force Thrust on yourself, and the Force Thrust is a standard killing skill, Obi-Wan Kenobi can use the Force Thrust to instantly kill a large group of B1 robots. Such a powerful Force skill will accidentally hurt yourself if the strength is not well controlled.

Fu Qinghai used inertial acceleration three times in a row to dodge the attacks of the Rank Beast. He was as slippery as a loach, swaying like a drunken boxer. He seemed to be staggering and embarrassed, but in fact he was strolling leisurely, stirring up the entire swamp with splashes of water and boiling mud. While dodging, he even had time to think about a new question:
Inertial acceleration is actually the use of force push on yourself, so what if you do the force push in reverse?

Fu Qinghai turned his head to look into the distance, raised his arm and opened his five fingers to grasp in one direction. Then, a piece of driftwood floating in the swamp immediately broke away from the water and flew towards his palm. With a "snap", he caught it in his hand.

Force traction, or Force grab.

Fu Qinghai mastered this move without any instruction.

Many Jedi Knights would use this move to suck lightsabers that fell far away back into their palms. Darth Vader would often use the Force to grab soldiers from afar and hold them in the air with one hand, then use the Force to strangle them to death or pull out his lightsaber and stab them to death, full of the charm of a villain.

"Snapped!"

Fu Qinghai was slapped into the swamp by Rank, and his whole body was sunk into the black and gray mud. Then he was scooped out of the water by a giant claw and held in front of his wrinkled face. He opened his mouth and roared at Fu Qinghai:

"Roar---"

Fu Qinghai's face was covered with snot and saliva.

Rankmon put Fu Qinghai into its mouth.

Fu Qinghai pushed himself free from Rank's grip with his arms, then kicked the ugly face of the giant beast. Rank's huge head was slightly tilted. Fu Qinghai used the reaction force to leap backwards, did a light backflip and landed steadily in the swamp with very little splash.

The Force skills have been practiced almost to the fullest.

Fu Qinghai didn't plan to continue playing.

There are two more skills in the offensive style:
The Force Choke, the most iconic Force skill in Star Wars, is also the Force skill that Fu Qinghai has mastered most proficiently. He has already mastered it with ease and there is no need to practice it anymore.

Force Throw, this skill is usually used in conjunction with a lightsaber. The lightsaber is used as a boomerang, thrown out and then flies back. Fu Qinghai doesn't have a lightsaber in his hand, so he can't practice it for the time being.

Fu Qinghai stood in the water with mud all over his body. Rank swung down with another claw. Fu Qinghai did not dodge this time. He raised his left hand and caught Rank's giant claw steadily. Rank's wrist was thicker than his torso, but his arm did not move at all. The only price he paid was that he sank another half a meter.

Fu Qinghai grabbed the wrinkles on Rank's skin with both hands and pulled himself out of the mud, hanging on the Rank beast's arm. Rank waved his hand to try to shake him off, but Fu Qinghai used the inertia of the beast to do a single-arm spin and then turned in the air to avoid the other giant claw.

In the last performance, Webster did a somersault and landed steadily on top of the monster in a standard superhero landing posture.

Then he punched the ground below his feet.

"boom!"

The fist hit the beast's head covered with rough, tough and thick skin with a dull sound. Fu Qinghai jumped up to avoid the claws, and after landing, he swung his fists left and right and hit it seven or eight times. Fu Qinghai's arms were bulging with muscles, showing a terrifying strength that was completely inconsistent with his body size. A few punches sent shock waves to Rank's head, and the mud and water drops on the rough skin splashed around in a ring.

Fu Qinghai compared the Rank beast to a tiger.

But in fact, Rank is much more terrifying than a tiger.

With thick skin and immense strength, this beast is like a biological tank when it goes crazy. Its skin completely ignores attacks from small and medium caliber blaster weapons. Even if it is directly hit by a large caliber blaster cannon, it will only be injured by its defense being broken.

In the American TV series "The Book of Boba Fett", the Mandalorian Boba Fett rode a captive adult ranch horse and rampaged through the city of Mos Espa, unstoppable, and even performed an exciting act of tearing apart an Annihilator robot with his bare hands.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

Fu Qinghai punched more than ten times in a row.

His hands were sore from hitting each other, and the giant Rank beast under his crotch finally fell into a dizzy state, suspected of having a concussion, and stood unsteadily in the swamp.

"Submit to me!"

Fu Qinghai leaned over and yelled.

It doesn't matter whether Rankmon can understand Basic or not.

"Ow..."

Rank let out a muffled roar while he was dizzy.

There seemed to be a hint of unwillingness in the roar.

Fu Qinghai punched him on the head twice again.

"Submit to me!"

Fu Qinghai yelled again.

All species in Star Wars are divided into three categories: "intelligent species", "semi-intelligent species" and "non-intelligent species". Rank belongs to the "semi-intelligent species" rather than a pure beast. Fu Qinghai feels that it should be able to understand what he means.

"Ow..."

Rank stumbled out of the swamp, waving his two long claws weakly towards his head, trying hard to get rid of the human above his head. However, no matter how he shook his head or rolled on the ground, this human was firmly attached to his back as if he had a suction cup and he could never get rid of him.

"Bang, bang...I'll ask you one last time."

Fu Qinghai yelled at the Rankmon's ear:

"Are you willing to submit to me?"

"Ow..."

Rankmon let out a low roar.

"Pfft..."

The ground made a dull sound, and the giant beast that was more than ten meters tall fell to the soft ground outside the swamp.

"What's going on? Would you rather die than surrender?"

Fu Qinghai stood on the Rank beast's back and scratched his head, thinking: Was it beaten to death by me?

……

Silli crawled among the weeds and rocks, staring at the scene in the distance with wide eyes in disbelief.

A human, a human with bare hands and wearing only a pair of shorts, is... beating up a Ranque?
She saw the metal interfaces on the man's body and guessed that he might be a cyborg. But even if he was a cyborg, it was impossible for him to beat up a Rank. On the contrary, Rank could easily tear apart mechanical vehicles that were much larger than this man, let alone a mere cyborg.

Syllie saw that the man had beaten the Rank beast until it fainted. The giant beast lay on the wet ground at the edge of the swamp. The man standing on Rank's back seemed a little overwhelmed. After thinking for a moment, he jumped down again, picked up one of Rank's claws, put it on his shoulder and began to drag it with force.

He actually dragged Rankmon!

The strong man dragged the giant beast slowly towards the forest, leaving a deep drag mark behind him.

Sillie bent her body and moved quietly, using the surrounding trees and rocks to hide her figure.

His eyes were fixed on the man the whole time.

She watched the man drag the Rank Beast all the way to the edge of the forest with his back to her, then he threw the Rank Claw on his shoulder aside and stopped to take a breath.

Then the man turned around slowly.

Look in your direction calmly.

"You've been following me all the way. Haven't you seen a man?"

The man stared at the bushes and spoke calmly.

……

Fu Qinghai looked quietly at the bushes in the distance.

A woman slowly stood up from behind the bushes.

A pale-skinned, slender woman with complex symmetrical black patterns on her face, not sure if it was a tattoo or some kind of paint. She was wearing a dark red tight-fitting dress with a hood, which only covered her torso, and her arms and legs were wrapped with red strips of cloth, with large areas of skin exposed between the gaps of the strips, mysterious yet slightly charming.

Is this the legendary Nightsister?
Fu Qinghai raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Who are you and what are you doing on Dathomir?"

The woman stared at Fu Qinghai and asked in a deep voice.

The first question stumped Fu Qinghai.

The reincarnation world brought me to Dathomir.

I don't know what I'm here for.

"I do not know."

Fu Qinghai spread his hands and said honestly.

"You do not know?"

The woman in red asked, frowning.

Obviously not satisfied with this answer.

"You have been spying on me for so long, who are you?"

Fu Qinghai asked the woman in red directly.

"I am the Nightsister of Dathomir. You have already intruded into our territory, outsider. Tell us who you are and what you want to do. Otherwise... go back to where you came from!"

The woman in red said in a serious voice.

"The last time General Grievous came..."

Fu Qinghai looked at her and asked calmly:
"Did you tell him that too?"

The mouth cannon taunt skill is activated.

After hearing this, the red-clothed woman's face immediately changed and she became furious. She drew out a silver-gray metal sword and whispered a few spells and made a few gestures. Then a circle of green flames rose up around the sword.

Ah, there it is, the iconic green fire, the manifestation of the Force unique to the Nightsisters genre.

Fu Qinghai stared at the long knife in the red-clothed woman's hand.

It should be the legendary Blade of Talzin?
In the American TV series "Ahsoka", the Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth used Dathomir sorcery to "enchant with the Force" an ordinary scimitar into the so-called "Blade of Talzin", giving the scimitar the ability to resist lightsaber cutting.

"So they are the remnants of Dooku..."

The woman in red gnashed her teeth and stepped forward with a knife:

"Today I will avenge all the sisters in my clan!"

The woman in red was agile and moved quickly. She stepped forward, jumped on her toes, and stepped over the gullies and mounds between the trees, swinging her knife towards him. Fu Qinghai silently evaluated in his mind that it was probably the level of physical enhancement of ordinary strength and agility.

The green flames surrounding the blade made a whooshing sound when it was swung. Fu Qinghai didn't dare to use his body to block the force weapon, the Blade of Talzin. He took several steps back and dodged the woman's hateful attack.

This Nightsister is more difficult to deal with than Rank.

Although Rank was tough and strong, his huge size made his movements a little clumsy. This woman was not only ruthless in her swordsmanship, but also very agile in her steps. The key was that Fu Qinghai could take a claw from the Rank beast, but he didn't dare to take the Talzin's Blade. The Talzin mistress's Force means were insidious and vicious. The Talzin's Blade was named after her, and it was estimated that if she touched it, there would be no good results.

Fu Qinghai leaned back to avoid a swing of the knife. The green flame brushed past his nose, but he didn't feel any temperature. He raised his right hand and grabbed it. A thick tree trunk in the grass automatically flew into his hand. Fu Qinghai grabbed the wood and swung it forward. The witch in red immediately raised her knife to block it.

There was a crisp "pop" sound.

Half of the tree trunk turned into wood stubble and sawdust that flew everywhere.

The Scarlet Witch's hands holding the knife trembled slightly.

Fu Qinghai took this opportunity to take a big step back, then raised the half of the tree trunk in his hand and threw it fiercely at the witch in red. The woman tilted her head slightly to the left and dodged the flying wood. She clenched her numb palms again and was about to attack Fu Qinghai again when her ears suddenly caught a sound of breaking air, which seemed to come from behind her...

"Bang!"

The half of the tree trunk that flew out in a rotation turned around in the air and flew back again without slowing down at all, hitting the witch right on the back of the head.

The woman in red felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and her vision went dark. She loosened her hand holding the knife, rolled her eyes, and fell to the ground.

Force throw.

Fu Qinghai walked slowly towards the red witch on the ground, squatted down beside her, and found that the green flames lingering around the metal sword had gone out. He poked the handle lightly with his fingers, and nothing unusual happened, so he picked up the sword and weighed it twice in his hand.

It's just an ordinary alloy knife.

"Oh..."

A dull and rumbling roar was heard.

Fu Qinghai turned around and looked when he heard the voice.

Lanclon's back was rising and falling, and his two huge claws were scratching the ground, as if he was waking up.

You are not dead after all.

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly.

…………

1. Syllie is actually a Nightsister in the Legend Universe, working for the galactic mafia Zahn Consortium. I borrowed her to use.

2. When watching Star Wars, you don’t actually need to distinguish between the official universe and the legendary universe, because many characters, settings, and plots that were previously considered to belong to the legendary universe have been gradually introduced into the official universe as the official universe’s movies, TV series, and animations continue to develop, and the distinction is no longer so clear.
