Chapter 23

Not far away, Cheng Hongyi's face was full of panic. He even activated a status skill that boosted his speed, sprinting madly toward Jiang Li, all to save his life…

…

"Roar!"

However.

At this moment, he was facing a giant beast goblin over two meters tall, its muscles like rock all over its body.

Jiang Li, however, showed no fear at all.

Instead, he was a little excited!

"Roar!!!"

The giant beast goblin, like a massive gorilla, pounded its chest wildly.

At the human provoking it before its eyes.

An endless fury welled up in its heart.

"Boom!"

The giant beast goblin charged forward at once.

A palm as large as a cattail-leaf fan slammed down viciously, as if intending to smash Jiang Li to death on the spot!

"Whoosh…"

"I'll use you… to christen the Ice Wheel Maru!"

"As the mythic weapon's first monster kill, you should feel honored!"

Facing the giant beast's charge.

Jiang Li raised the Ice Wheel Maru long blade in his hand.

A layer of white frost suddenly clung to the silvery-white, biting-cold blade.

With a sudden slash… endless pale-white freezing air surged forth, forming a clear arc in midair!

"Puchi!"

Under the boost of one hundred percent attack speed.

The Ice Wheel Maru, faster than lightning could cover one's ears, sliced across the giant beast goblin's chest.

The incomparably sharp blade tore open a massive wound.

"-1721 (Critical Hit)!!"

"Frost Freeze effect triggered (Layer One)!"

A huge damage number popped up!

Before blood could even flow out… a wave of icy cold air swept over and covered it.

"Crack! Crack…"

In an instant.

The giant beast goblin's entire chest was frozen solid by the frost, and its movements instantly slowed considerably. The health bar above its head even slid all the way down to the bottom, leaving only a sliver of health!

"Hah!"

Jiang Li pressed his advantage to pursue.

He took a great stride forward.

The Ice Wheel Maru in his hand swung another blade, the freezing cold air whistling past…

"-1899 (Critical Hit)!!"

"Frost Freeze effect triggered (Layer Two)!"

As another massive damage number leapt out.

The giant beast goblin let out a wail, its crimson eyes still filled with unwillingness, as if unable to believe that it had actually been cut down in two blades by a Level 1 warrior newbie!

【Ding!】

【Congratulations on killing: Level 3 · Giant Beast Goblin!】

【Congratulations on obtaining: 30 experience points!】

"Ha…"

Looking at the giant beast goblin that had fallen before his eyes.

Jiang Li sheathed the Ice Wheel Maru, and a carefree smile immediately surfaced on his face.

With the extremely high base attack bonus, plus one hundred percent critical hit rate and triple critical damage, cutting down this giant beast goblin was as easy as chopping vegetables!

Jiang Li was happily picking up items on his side.

Meanwhile, Cheng Hongyi, who was sprinting over, and Li Mengying and the others, who were still dealing with ordinary goblins, all saw this scene and were utterly dumbfounded, instinctively freezing in place.

"This… how could this be…"

"He only used two blades, and he actually killed the giant beast goblin outright?!"

"…"

The faces of the several people were full of disbelief.

The knight class player who had previously looked arrogant and looked down on Jiang Li now had a face full of existential doubt.

They were three class players of two-star rank or above.

Dealing with a few Level 1 ordinary goblins required cautious cooperation and considerable effort.

Yet Jiang Li, a Level 1 one-star warrior… dealt over a thousand damage in a single blade!!

The doubt and horror in their hearts lingered unable for a long time to fade, until a shrill scream rang out…

"Ah!"

"Quick… quick, save me!"

Li Mengying and the priest turned to look.

Only then did they realize the knight-class professional blocking the way was being besieged by several goblins.

The health bar above his head had dropped by nearly half.

Seeing this.

The priest snapped out of it as if waking from a dream.

He hurriedly pulled the knight's HP back up to the line.

And Li Mengying cast a spell again as well, but her expression was somewhat dazed — clearly she hadn't fully come back to her senses yet.

…

"You… you…"

On the other side.

Cheng Hongyi had finally caught up.

He stared at the corpse of that giant beast-goblin on the ground, unable to speak for a long time.

"Teacher Cheng."

"I should be able to level up on my own now, right?" Seeing the homeroom teacher approach, Jiang Li said as much.

"Of…"

"Of course…"

Cheng Hongyi swallowed hard.

He answered blankly.

Having received the homeroom teacher's definite answer.

Jiang Li no longer hesitated, turned and left on the spot, plunging alone into the dense forest.

A moment later.

Li Mengying and the others, who had just finished off the ordinary goblins, hurried over.

Seeing only Cheng Hongyi there, Li Mengying couldn't help asking: "Teacher. Where's Jiang Li?"

Cheng Hongyi came back to his senses and pointed ahead: "He went to level up on his own…"

"Teacher…"

"How could Jiang Li possibly be this strong? Isn't he a one-star professional… and on top of that, he's wearing a full set of black-iron gear!" At this moment, the knight-class professional asked, his face full of unwillingness.

When he raised this question.

Li Mengying and the priest both perked up as well, wanting an answer.

"No…"

At this, Cheng Hongyi, however, shook his head.
