Chapter 331

Looking at the experience gained on the attribute panel, Tang Zheng could not hide the surprise in his heart.

Click!

Click!

As the ritual ended, the various magic materials used to set up the ritual emitted dense sounds like glass breaking, turning into piles of powder.

"Using repeated operations, I can gain 1.5 million experience points every day... hiss..."

Tang Zheng's heart skipped a few beats; the loss of those few magic materials was not worth caring about at all.

For him, currently lacking experience, this was no less than someone sending a pillow when he was sleepy.

The "Goblin Farming Plan" Tang Zheng was conducting in the Tob Forest, and the Abelion Hills he now indirectly controlled, were all prepared for the farming plan.

But "farming" takes time; in the less than three years remaining, wanting to gain the experience for level 100, relying solely on farming goblins was not enough!

This would inevitably require eliminating a large number of demi-humans to make up for the lack of experience.

To deal with future crises.

Tang Zheng indeed didn't mind slaughtering these demi-human races that posed a threat to humans, but he also knew the consequences if he slaughtered them on a large scale.

It was very likely to attract the attention of many parties!

The situation in this world was too complex.

Not to mention the True Dragon Lords on the surface, the Dragon Emperor with unknown information, and the Mother.

Players descend every 100 years, but that doesn't mean that every descent only results in one wave of players; what Tang Zheng found most unfathomable.

Was that these descended players all seemed to die or disappear within 100 years of their descent.

Because of the limitation of lifespan, the human race indeed cannot live for too long, but that doesn't mean that all the descended players are of the human race!

In clear information.

One of the Six Great Gods, the Dark God—this undead job structure that does not possess a lifespan limitation like Ainz—died at the hands of the Eight Greed Kings.

This matter itself was strange.

Tang Zheng came back to his senses, knowing that the most important thing now was to improve his strength; even if he thought about other things more, it would be meaningless.

Seeing that the ritual was a complete success.

After Tang Zheng's excitement, he immediately continued to activate the "Death Spiral Ritual" and used the remaining two magic opportunities one after another.

He gained another 1 million experience, and the experience slot reached over 2 million experience.

Level up!

Tang Zheng stared at the attribute panel, his mind moved, and a large amount of experience began to be consumed; a life aura, one wave higher than the next, was constantly emitted,

Faintly forming an invisible aura with Tang Zheng as the center, causing the surrounding air to distort briefly!

In an instant.

Leveled up 3 times!

——

Comprehensive Level: 48lv

【Experience Slot: 478160/610000】

Skill Points: 64→73

Job: Holy Knight: 7lv, Dark Knight 1lv...

——

"【Holy Knight】 is still 3 levels away; it can be raised to full level within these two days," Tang Zheng thought to himself.

Upper Wind Month, April 16th.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The first day accumulated 1.5 million experience, and the second day only collected 500,000, because this experience was already enough.

"Level up," Tang Zheng whispered.

【Experience Slot: 2478160/610000】

↓

【Experience Slot: 478160/730000】

After reaching level 50 and leveling up again, the depth of the experience slot changed from adding 50,000 per level to adding 70,000 per level.

The comprehensive level reached 51, and the mid-tier job 【Holy Knight】 also reached level 10!

Hum—

The attribute panel vibrated.

'Job construction information satisfied'

Tang Zheng's eyes lit up; he wasn't surprised, as expected, this kind of normal job construction could be deduced entirely through job information.

'【Genius】 job has been converted to 【Holy Knight】'

'Job construction achieved—low-tier job 【Holy Knight 10lv】, mid-tier job 【Holy Knight 10lv】'

'Triggered high-tier job: Lord of Holiness'

'Do you wish to take the job?'

"Lord of Holiness?"

Seeing the high-tier job constructed, Tang Zheng's face suddenly turned a bit dark:

"I hope it won't be the job I imagine."

"Take the job!"

Job: Lord of Holiness

Level: High-tier Job

Ability Effects:

Passive·

"Protection of Faith": When HP value drops to half, immediately recover 20% HP and clear negative status (1/day).

"Holy Judgment": Deals an additional 10% damage to undead and all enemies with negative alignment values.

"Light Pressure": Holy-attribute attack skills and magic gain a certain enhancement bonus, and gain 20% dark-attribute resistance.

Active Skill:

Radiant Sword: Summons a holy light sword, smashes it into the target area, deals physical and holy-attribute damage to enemies within range, and produces a "Blind" negative effect.

Introduction: When a knight cannot eradicate evil and is trapped in self-blame and crisis, I declare in the name of the "Lord" to judge all sins with absolute light.

(Note: For every 1 level increase, (MP, HP, Physical Defense, Magic Defense) four attributes increase by 15 points.)

"It really is this job," Tang Zheng's face turned even darker.

He had been somewhat uncertain originally, but after seeing the name of the job and the skill "Radiant Sword," he could be completely certain.

This job was possessed by the leader of the only Adamantite-ranked adventurer team in the "Dragon Kingdom," "Crystal Tears," Celabray.

"I didn't expect 【Lord of Holiness】 to be a high-tier job; after all, people who can possess high-tier jobs in the Other World belong to the rare category."

This was 10 levels of experience!

Tang Zheng could have obtained this job directly from Celabray.

"Forget it, it's nothing more than wasting three or four million experience points, which is only two or three days of time."

Tang Zheng said to himself generously, and only then did he look carefully at the job information.

If it were in the past.

Three or four million experience points would have been enough to make his heart ache for a long time!

"A high-tier job constructed from low and mid-tier jobs is indeed stronger than the 【Magic Swordsman】 constructed from two basic jobs."

"But compared to 【Cursed Knight】, it is indeed a bit worse."

Tang Zheng was not obtaining a high-tier job for the first time, so he could naturally analyze the level of the job immediately and quickly discovered the core of the job.

"As expected of a meat-shield job."

Tang Zheng noticed the information about the "Protection of Faith" passive and immediately associated it with the "Power of Faith" passive of the mid-tier job 【Holy Knight】.

The effects of the two were similar.

Both were when HP value drops below half, one immediately recovers 10% HP, and the other immediately recovers 20%.

These two passives of 【Holy Knight】 and 【Lord of Holiness】 combined were equivalent to HP dropping to half and immediately recovering 30% HP.

And.

Under the condition that the passive ability is activated.

"Power of Faith" can increase healing effects by 100%.

"Protection of Faith" can clear negative status.

The two jobs combined with the basic job 【Holy Knight】 clearly had the bonus of a standard job construction system.

"Pity."

Tang Zheng shook his head.

He was indeed tempted by the joint passive ability of "immediately recovering 30% HP," but he would not retain the mid-tier job because of this one passive.

While 【Genius】 brought him convenience, it inevitably abandoned the job bonuses brought by basic job construction.

There are gains and losses.

Tang Zheng saw this very clearly; from the beginning, his job construction route was relatively clear.

"Next, I need to downgrade and remove 【Holy Knight】. There are still two 'Final War (Good)' casts today."

Tang Zheng's gaze flashed: "What if I don't use 'Experience Technique'?"

Thinking of this.

"10th-tier magic—eh?"

Tang Zheng prepared to cast magic, but the magic power on his body returned to calm after a brief boil:

"It failed."

"Because the experience points are not enough, it cannot be released. As expected, normal casting does not have the situation of downgrading."

"If experience points are used for casting, the 10th-tier magic consumption adds 1.5 million experience points, requiring a total of 2 million experience points."

Tang Zheng thought of this and calculated simply; when consuming so much experience at once, dropping several levels was inevitable.

It was indeed not bad for downgrading.

"'Experience Casting'·10th-tier magic..."

"Nn!"

Tang Zheng's pupils shrank, and he was somewhat stunned to find that the casting had failed: "How could this be?"

His expression became solemn.

This was the first time such a situation had occurred; fortunately, it was not during a battle, otherwise, just this unknown situation would be enough to put him in a dangerous situation.

There was no problem with the job skill, so was the problem with the Tier Magic?

—"Experience Technique": You can use conventional Tier Magic without magic power by consuming (Tier Level x 50,000 experience points).

"So that's it; I really hadn't noticed the condition of 'conventional Tier Magic' before."

"'Grand Ritual·Final War (Good)' should not belong to conventional Tier Magic, so it failed to activate through experience casting."

Tang Zheng mused; he had indeed not paid attention to these details before, which served as a warning to him.

Simply.

He used a clumsy method, normally releasing ordinary Tier Magic, and after consuming the remaining 400,000 experience points, using any first-tier magic would immediately cause a level drop.

Boom!

Boom!

The hot red magma in the lava sea, as magic was bombarded into it, vibrated violently like a turbulent sea surface.

In just a moment.

Tang Zheng had already completed the level drop and used "Crazy Meditation" to cast magic to gain 1 million experience.

————

Comprehensive Level: 42lv

【Experience Slot: 1000001/360000】

Skill Points: 73→82

Job:

Mid-tier Job: Dark Knight 1lv

High-tier Job: Lord of Holiness 1lv...

————

Completed a new round of job washing.

Tang Zheng did not level up immediately, but intended to wait until the experience was enough to raise 【Dark Knight】 to full level in one go and obtain the second high-tier job.

"The last time I left the Valley of Despair was in October of last year; it has been almost half a year now, so it's time to return and check on the human tribe."

Tang Zheng looked at the surging lava sea, fire-red light reflected in his pupils.

"Valley of Despair" is a good place to intervene in other areas of this continent.

It's just that that area is different from the northwest corner of the continent where humans are located, and his understanding of that place is pitifully little, so he was very cautious in his actions.

"The Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy will not come to the Hills area for the time being."

Tang Zheng analyzed.

"The more important the 'Fusion Potion' is to both sides, the less likely the high-level officials of the two countries will easily contact him, because once they do, they will fall into a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations."

After both sides get the potion, they will likely try their best to research how to refine this potion, and only when they are certain that there is absolutely no way to make it will they come knocking again.

"That's fine, there is one more thing that needs to be done before then."

Tang Zheng's body swayed:

"—Greater Teleportation!"

Re-Estize Kingdom.

Northwest.

A small town called "Water-Draining Town."

A transport merchant caravan consisting of 10 carriages was dragging carts of goods, following the uneven and bumpy street, driving toward the outside of the town.

The goods on the carts were relatively complex.

Most were some ores, and a portion of food supplies, because there were mineral deposits near "Water-Draining Town."

So several merchant caravans gathered here, specializing in transporting the ores here to various places.

However!

This merchant caravan was clearly different, because there were actually two adventurer teams escorting the team.

It was not hard to guess why this situation occurred; presumably, there must be expensive items in the merchant caravan.

Clatter—

Clatter—

The horses pulling the carts panted, dragging the carriage wheels, which were making squeaking sounds on the road surface, forward.

When the merchant caravan passed the street near the city gate.

A figure wrapped in a gray cloak, holding a long sword, was curled up in a corner, very inconspicuous.

As the carriages drove past on the street, gradually leaving the town.

This gray-robed figure slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of sharp and lazy eyes.

"It should be them."

The gray-robed figure raised his head, yawned, and glanced at the direction where the merchant caravan was gradually disappearing, muttering to himself.

Under the hood.

A face with slightly weathered blue hair was revealed; this person was Brian, who had been wandering around.

His feet exerted force.

Brian stood up easily, shaking his shoulders, and followed unhurriedly.

As the town gradually disappeared behind the merchant caravan.

The two adventurer teams escorting the entire merchant caravan suddenly looked at each other and raised their palms to make a defensive gesture.

In an instant, the entire merchant caravan stopped at the same time!

The ordinary members of the merchant caravan looked around in panic; clearly, they had not expected that they would be attacked just after leaving the town.

"Come out."

"I've felt someone watching since we left the town; sorry, your tracking level is really too poor."

The captain of an adventurer team said with a cold laugh, turning to look behind him:

"Will you come out yourself, or shall we invite you out?"

While speaking!

Several adventurers had already picked up their weapons and aimed their gazes at the figure that was gradually appearing.

"Oh my, I was discovered."

Brian still had his usual lazy look, one hand in his pocket, and the other hand grabbing his blue hair under the hood.

"Hmph!"

"Stop pretending; you didn't even try to hide," the adventurer leader said with a cold laugh; seeing Brian appear, his eyes instead quickly observed other directions.

He speculated that this guy was just a decoy, and the real enemy should be hidden elsewhere.

"No need to look."

"It's just me."

Brian raised his head slightly and waved his hand impatiently: "I'm really short on money recently, so I want to borrow some money to spend."

"Can you all please not get in the way?"

The air turned cold!

"Captain, there is indeed no one around, only this guy."

The thief and mage in the adventurer team had already determined the situation around them and reported.

Although they couldn't observe a further distance, at least there was indeed no enemy figure in this area nearby.

"Captain?"

The report did not get a response; several team members looked at their leader in confusion.

Only to see.

The usually composed leader was looking straight at the figure opposite, cold sweat on his forehead, as if he had seen some terrifying enemy.
