Chapter 8: Overall Level 2lv Passive Slash Damage

"Learned 'Rapid Slash', consumed 3 skill points."

Hum—

"Intermediate class 'Sword Saint' successfully acquired!"

Tang Zheng looked at the information on the status panel, a trace of surprise and realization appearing on his face: "As expected, the method of acquiring a class in this other world is different from the game; I can do it too."

However!

Tang Zheng lowered his head, his gaze flickering for a moment.

Did he acquire the class directly without an "Acquire class?" option?

The conditions he currently grasped for acquiring combat-type classes could be divided into two methods:

1. Touch the weapons or equipment related to the class to acquire it.

Pros: Basic classes are relatively simple to acquire.

Cons: Intermediate and high-tier classes are relatively difficult.

2. Indirectly acquire the related class after learning a skill by consuming skill points.

Pros: Great flexibility; as long as there is a target and skill points, one can fully acquire a class through the other party performing a skill.

Cons: The class is automatically acquired after learning the skill, with no option to refuse, so caution is required.

Tang Zheng pondered the pros and cons of the two acquisition conditions in his heart; compared to the second point, having the general class "Genius" made the role of the first point no longer significant.

He looked back at the status panel.

After acquiring "Sword Saint", his overall level had increased to 2lv, and he had subsequently gained 3 more skill points.

"With this level-up speed, it's no wonder there were players in the game who directly acquired 100 classes."

Tang Zheng let out a soft sigh of exclamation.

The fact that merely acquiring different classes could increase one's level caused even someone with Tang Zheng's consistently steady personality to have a fleeting thought.

"The situation of gaining 3 skill points for every 1 level increase has not changed."

"Looking at it this way, theoretically, I can obtain a maximum of 300 skill points. If I lose levels after death and then level up again, can I repeatedly obtain skill points?"

This thought suddenly flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.

In the "Overlord" game, this naturally wouldn't work, but in this other world, Tang Zheng didn't know if he could exploit a bug.

He shook his head.

He temporarily pushed this thought aside; this was not something he should be considering right now.

Taking advantage of the fact that the information on the panel had not yet disappeared, Tang Zheng used 2 more skill points to learn "Instant Reflex" and "Four-Light Continuous Slash" respectively!

Tang Zheng intended to temporarily reserve the remaining 1 skill point for emergencies.

At this moment.

His status panel had undergone brand-new changes.

————

Tang Zheng quickly scanned the information on the status panel.

Class: "Sword Saint"

Level: Intermediate Class

Introduction: Using slashing weapons such as knives, swords, axes, and sharp claws can increase "Slash Damage", increasing by 1% for every 1 level gained, up to a maximum of 10%.

(Note: Every 1 level gained increases the three attributes (HP, Physical Attack, Agility) by 10 points.)

……

Skill "Instant Reflex"

Cost: None

Introduction: After attacking, force the body to return to the previous attack stance.

……

Skill "Four-Light Continuous Slash"

Cost: None

Introduction: Launch 4 slashes simultaneously; attack power has a probability of being dispersed, and hit rate is reduced.

……

Skill: "Rapid Slash" Cost: None

Introduction: Class Skill—Rapidly launch one slash forward, dealing 110% physical damage (Cooldown 10s)

…………

"It only increases HP, Physical Attack, and Agility? As expected, the tendency of the increased values differs for different classes. Moreover, an intermediate class only provides a 10-point stat bonus; basic classes are likely even lower."

"It's fortunate I have 'Genius', which exempts the requirements for basic classes."

"However, an intermediate class actually provides a passive?" Tang Zheng looked at the passive effect that had appeared under "Passive Skills".

A maximum of 10% slash damage!

How should one put this passive... it's average.

Tang Zheng pondered slightly: "What's most surprising is actually the skills; the difference between martial arts in this other world and class skills is actually so distinct."

"Rapid Slash" has a clear damage value and cooldown time.

Yet "Instant Reflex" and "Four-Light Continuous Slash" do not have this information, only basic introductions.

"No wonder the Bone King cares about martial arts; it's a completely different system from the warrior skills in the 'Overlord' game."

Tang Zheng thought, somewhat dumbfounded.

In the "Yggdrasil" game, warrior skills were slightly distinguished from the magic system.

Most magic released by magic casters had no cooldown time and only required MP consumption, hence the saying "MP is the true lifeline of a magic caster."

Of course, high-tier magic and skills also possessed cooldown times and requirements.

Warrior-type skills did not require MP consumption, so they had cooldown times, and some special skills even required the consumption of a certain amount of MP or other restrictions.

Martial arts in this other world consume "Focus", but Tang Zheng's status panel did not display a value for Focus; this would likely require him to research it himself.

Rustle!

Rustle!

The people sitting in the audience suddenly stood up one by one; the sudden movement caught Tang Zheng off guard.

Immediately after.

Tang Zheng felt several figures sitting in the audience beside him looking at him, who was still sitting in his chair, with surprise.

"Cough."

Tang Zheng gave a light cough and, expressionless, stood up along with the crowd.

Although he hadn't figured out the situation, doing the same thing as everyone else could never be wrong.

Perhaps because the motion of standing up was too abrupt, Tang Zheng's body involuntarily leaned forward, falling toward the front.

Tang Zheng hurriedly reached out to steady himself on the shoulder of the audience member in front, only then managing to stand firm.

And sitting in front of Tang Zheng.

Was a middle-aged man with brown hair; his full beard gave him a fierce appearance. Being suddenly patted on the shoulder, especially with a force that was clearly a bit heavy, made him feel as if the other party had done it on purpose.

"What, is there something you want? Kid?" The brown-haired man looked displeased, clenching his fist as he turned his head to look at Tang Zheng.

"Uh, I was just a bit careless earlier."

An apologetic look appeared on Tang Zheng's face as he pulled his hand back.

"Hmph!" The brown-haired man glared fiercely at Tang Zheng, as if trying to memorize his appearance, looking like he intended to cause trouble later.

Tang Zheng frowned slightly.

Given his current situation, he followed a principle of keeping a low profile and naturally did not like trouble coming his way.

The reason he had been unsteady earlier was that Tang Zheng had discovered his strength had increased significantly, to the point where he was not yet accustomed to it.

But it had only been for a split second.

Tang Zheng lightly clenched his fist, feeling the more vigorous power: "The increase in base stats is reflected in the body in real-time; despite the sudden increase, it feels as if I have been training for a long time."

He raised his head.

Tang Zheng's gaze passed over the heads of the crowd and looked down at the arena below.

While he had just been checking his attribute panel, Gazef and Brain had already left the arena.

The reason everyone was standing up now was that the nobles and royalty located in the circular tower viewing stand had left first, and as commoners, they naturally had to show respect.

After understanding the reason,

Tang Zheng simply stood with the people around him; now was not the time to be unconventional.

At least these nobles weren't giving speeches or anything.

Tang Zheng glanced at the circular tower viewing stand again, feeling slightly regretful.

He had originally thought he might see the Golden Princess, but with the obstruction of the circular tower viewing stand, he couldn't see anything at all.

Standing like this.

It lasted for a full half hour.

The corners of Tang Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he took a deep breath.

The privileged class was truly annoying.

As the nobles left one after another, the solemn venue became noisy once again.

Most of it was discussion about the outcome of the battle between the Captain of the Warriors and the Nail Clipper, and even more was envy; after all, regardless of who won or lost, both men had been invited by the King to enter the royal palace.

At this moment, the brown-haired man turned around with a sinister grin, clenching his fists; he was prepared to give the black-haired kid behind him a good thrashing.

As it turned out, the space behind him was already empty.

"Damn it! Ran away so fast, don't let me catch you!" The brown-haired man was stunned and couldn't help but curse out loud.
