The moment he opened his eyes, a beautiful sleeping face came into view—uh, mere inches away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little wildcat had still crawled into the covers and curled up in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang sighed toward the sky... no, he gently exhaled toward the sky. He didn't dare wake her; he just wanted to escape this situation as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting up on tiptoe, Li Ang only felt a sense of relief once he reached the outdoors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking deep breaths of the morning air and easing his tense nerves, he immediately began his first preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the job advancement and leveling of a swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system had previously told him that since both were melee professions, the experience from the warrior class could be transferred over when taking up the swordsman profession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the profession panel, Li Ang found the newly added swordsman option and selected it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Profession Practiced: Swordsman】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rank: 1. Next Rank: 0\u002F100 Experience】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Acquired Rank 1 Swordsman Skill: Sword Slash】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clenching his palm, Li Ang drew the Dragon Tooth Sword he had crafted yesterday. Knowledge on how to use a sword instantly flooded his mind, and even his muscles had memory; he immediately knew how to swing the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Do you wish to transfer experience progress from the warrior profession?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Ang selected confirm, the swordsman experience reached 80\u002F100.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>90 points of experience became 80; the transfer ratio was not low. Perhaps it was because the level of a low-rank warrior and a swordsman actually didn't differ much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the transfer, the warrior experience was not wiped clean, and the system even provided a very thoughtful hint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hint: When practicing other professions after transferring experience, the original profession's experience will also receive a certain amount of growth.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was quite reasonable; after all, a warrior's combat style also included sword swinging, just not as specialized as a swordsman's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the rate of warrior experience practice, he could raise the swordsman to Rank 2 in a single morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang went to the woods behind Zoe's house, held the Dragon Tooth Sword, found the state of mind for swinging, and began to practice. This kind of morning exercise was quite good; it relaxed his body while providing a clear increase in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the experience jumped to 85 points, a hint popped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Acquired Rank 1 Swordsman Skill: Morale Boost】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also one of the skills Zoe knew. Since there was no system before, Li Ang likewise didn't know what it actually meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, it was perfectly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Skill: Morale Boost】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Activation Method: Active】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Strike while the iron is hot; temporary combat will and force are both enhanced.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scratching his head, Li Ang recalled the energy with which Zoe had excitedly charged at the wyvern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when they were adventuring, many melee fighters liked to shout or encourage each other; at those times, they did indeed look much more spirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed this skill was a summary of that situation. The principle behind it was likely that after long training, a person could actively mobilize external magic through willpower to strengthen their spirit and physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flourishing his sword, Li Ang continued his practice, but then heard a bang—it was Zoe suddenly pushing open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ran out of the house without shoes, looking around nervously. When she rounded the house and saw Li Ang standing by the edge of the woods, she immediately charged over regardless of anything else, her bare feet stepping on the grass and mud dampened by morning dew, and arrived in front of Li Ang to hug him tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood; she was worried he had run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoe didn't say anything specific, just hummed and hawed while hugging him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang thought about how he had been planning yesterday to absolutely not bring her along on a team, yet in the blink of an eye, he felt that this tail was becoming increasingly impossible to shake off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hugging for a while, she raised her head, her puffed-up cheeks flushed with a faint red. She hit Li Ang lightly and turned to walk toward the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After rinsing her feet in the backyard, she returned inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the churning of various thoughts, Li Ang trained the swordsman class to Rank 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Profession Practiced: Swordsman】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rank: 2. Next Rank: 0\u002F500 Experience】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Acquired Rank 2 Swordsman Skill: Suppressive Slash】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he reached Rank 2, he immediately learned a new skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Skill: Suppressive Slash】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Activation Method: Melee Combat Advantage】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Swift assault, ruthless suppression】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a sword technique on how to use magic to strengthen force and continue to expand an advantage when one had already gained the upper hand in battle; it could be considered quite practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When each profession entered Rank 2, it was no longer just an introduction, but an understanding of skillful magic enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaling a long breath, Li Ang began to run around the small house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't exercising, but testing the state of his body after reaching Rank 2 as a swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When others practiced physical professions, they allowed their bodies, repeatedly bathed in atmospheric magic, to gradually grow through constant training and magic enhancement, breaking through shackles to advance in rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his legs exerted force, Li Ang immediately felt a leap in power. He ran several laps in a row without feeling any difficulty in breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to test further; the result was very obvious. The rank increased by the system could improve physical fitness along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to this, if he improved a spellcaster profession, could it increase his magic reserves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stopping his pace, he saw Zoe had put on her shoes and was standing not far away waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything I can do today?\" the girl asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go mining; let's get us both a set of armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Li Ang felt he should leave the island as soon as possible and had no intention of mining a second time, but since they were going to enter the hidden location, the Abyss, it was better to be fully equipped to ensure the utmost safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just so happened that he was now a Rank 2 swordsman, so wearing a few pieces of lighter metal armor would be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going into the woods to collect Verdant Vines to construct two baskets, Li Ang and Zoe returned to yesterday's mining spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magical beasts here had been cleared out; it was peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While carrying ore, Zoe suddenly asked: \"Li Ang, can you teach me magic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you want to learn magic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang tried to explain to her the principle of biting off more than one can chew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the young girl grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and in her palm, the dust actually began to rotate slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang stared at her palm, certain that this wasn't some deliberate play; there was truly dust floating and rotating under the guidance of magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, during our first duel, you summoned a lot of dirt and dust. It seems I can do the same thing now. Does this mean I can use magic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you always been able to do this? Or—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesterday, after the headache, I felt my body was very light, and then I had some strange feelings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl looked blankly at the sand and stones around the mining spot and whispered: \"I feel like the soil, the rocks, and the dust have all started talking to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a manifestation of extremely high earth element affinity! Releasing elemental magic certainly required using magic to summon elements, but if one had an inherent affinity with them, it would be twice the result with half the effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang grabbed a handful of his hair and scratched it hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you kidding me? In the top teams, some spellcasters above Rank 7 were still having headaches because their spell power was limited by a lack of elemental affinity, yet they couldn't comprehend it—and she just had a headache and learned it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the so-called Star Soul Greenhouse absorbed the power of that... Star Soul thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she had this manifestation, teaching her to try earth elemental magic wasn't a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the theory of a Curse Master was relatively abstract; she might not be able to understand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang opened the profession panel; he still remembered what the system mentioned when he previously acquired the Elemental Swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the system hinted that the three professions of Elementalist, Wizard, and Shaman were beneficial to the practice of an Elemental Swordsman. Li Ang could understand this; it was because all three involved controlling elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Elementalist was someone who signed a contract with elemental spirits and was the purest controller of elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Wizard was a master of casting spells through material mediums and was the person who could best utilize the role of spellcasting materials, but precisely because of this, they were more inclined to guide elemental magic according to the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Shaman cast spells by communicating with spirits and requesting the help of elemental spirits, which allowed them to interfere with the four great elements more easily using magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar to a Shaman was the Witch Doctor; both professions were inheritances of primitive tribes. The former communicated more with nature and elemental spirits, while the latter communicated with ancestral souls and wild ghosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Curse Master that Li Ang had been practicing was actually a profession derived from Shamans and Witch Doctors. A Curse Master abandoned tradition and pursued the essence of spirits more deeply, so it had broader possibilities than those two traditional professions, though it had a demand for imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang had a thought at the time: could he use a similar path to transfer his Curse Master experience to the Shaman profession, so that he could master a higher Shaman rank?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After practicing as a Shaman, element-related spellcasting would be simpler and more powerful, and it could also prepare him for further studies as an Elemental Swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, he could also use more intuitive theories to make Zoe, who had no foundation, understand.\u003C\u002Fp>",1725,"2026-06-21T01:23:38.712Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","4d67c141361e3a60d259482f54c1cc6b526c4bb085bbe7af37857e4dceb5d70d","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-24","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-22",496,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-cover.jpg"]
