16 Swordsman Specialization

The day patrol was uneventful and only the night patrol will increase my chances of bumping into the Evils. Killing them will reward me with Mastery Points.

Of course, Lu Chen also understood that although joining the night patrol could help him earn more Mastery Points, there was a risk that he might die as well.

After all, night was the time of the Evils. During the night, the hunters were the Evils and the hunted were the patrol guards.

However, Lu Chen had no other choice.

If I am complacent now, I will only die powerlessly in despair in the future when danger comes. In order to not regret in the future, I have to walk into danger now.

As he thought, Lu Chen also spoke his mind to Wuzu.

“My change of shift to the night patrol will surely happen sooner or later, the earlier I face it now, the faster I will be able to adapt to it.”

Hearing that, Wuzu knew he couldn’t stop Lu Chen anymore.

“Good, this the barbarian spirit. We are brave warriors, we take the bull by the horns!”

Wuzu was happy to see Lu Chen’s bravery.

The barbarians were fond of brave warriors like Lu Chen.

After that, Wuzu and Lu Chen had a small talk and some discussions about Lu Chen’s life.

And the talk surprised the young elites behind them.

To the barbarians, Master Wuzu was a mysterious man. There were many barbarians who didn’t even dare to look at Wuzu for long.

But now, Master Wuzu was chatting to Lu Chen like a friendly old grandfather.

They couldn’t help but admire Lu Chen’s audacity. But Lu Chen didn’t feel anything at all.

He knew that Wuzu’s goodwill was not because he was easygoing.

It was because of Lu Chen’s strength and talent that gave him license to talk equally with Wuzu.

They returned to Wuzu’s place. There, the smell of the hot herbal soup reached their noses from afar.

“Although it’s not afternoon yet, you’ve all gone through some battles and have suffered some wounds. Prepare to drink the soup.”

Wuzu looked at Lu Chen and the elites behind him and smiled gratifyingly.

After he said it, the distribution of the soups started. This time, the young elites opened up a path for Lu Chen for him to claim the first bowl of herbal soup.

Unlike the last time of walking to the side and drinking the herbal soup; this time, Lu Chen drank it all on the spot.

Then, he quickly called up the system and turned to his Attribute Page.

[Barbarian King’s Bloodline can be leveled up. Mastery Points to level up: 100,000.]

Listed above were Lu Chen’s stats and attributes, but Lu Chen didn’t pay too much attention to it.

He had seen his own attributes many times over the past few days. Right now, Lu Chen’s attention was on a system message below his attributes that had been prompting him for the past three days.

[Host’s Commoner’s level has maxed out and can now specialize into the class of Swordsman. Specialization requires the completion of the trial quest (completed) and 100 Mastery Points. Specialization can be completed now, do you wish to continue?]

For the past few days, I’ve been trying to recover the essence in my body, I didn’t dare to complete the specialization.

But now, I have fully recovered and am supplied with the herbal soup. Most importantly, I will be joining the night patrol today. Even when that can help me earn my Mastery Points, the role of hunters and hunted are always changing during the night.

All in all, I need enough strength. Now, it’s time to get stronger.

Lu Chen didn’t hesitate and with a thought, he activated the specialization sequence.

System, specialize.

As soon as Lu Chen gave the command, a golden light rose up from the System page.

Under the golden light, Lu Chen’s class of [Commoner] was blurred out and replaced with [Swordsman].

After that, the golden light spread out from the System Page and into Lu Chen’s body.

Lu Chen felt a wave of comfort washing over his body while it underwent some changes on the inside.

The modification of the golden light on Lu Chen’s body made him more athletic, granting him more power, speed, quickness, explosiveness, and agility. At the same time, knowledge on swords was imparted into Lu Chen’s head as if he had been his training swordsmanship for many years.

While Lu Chen was sensing the changes happening in his body, system messages appeared incessantly in his ears.

[System Message: Host has broken through the level of Commoner and specialized as a Swordsman.]

[System Message: Host has specialized as a Swordsman. Host’s Strength +3, Agility +9, Constitution +3, Sharpness +9.]

[System Message: Host has learned a Bronze-grade skill—[Swordsmanship (Beginner)].]

[System Message: Host has leveled up to a Level 1 Swordsman and is rewarded with the chance to draw a skill. Drawing skill…… Skill draw completed. Host has drawn a Silver-grade skill—[Critical Strike (Beginner)].]

[System Message: Host has completed class specialization.]

[System Message: System error, system error…]

[System Message: System error, system error…]

[System Message: System repairing, system repairing…]

[System Message: System repairing, system repairing…]

[System Message: System repaired successfully. Reminder: Host’s essence has increased, now breaking through to Barbarian Blood Warrior.]

[System Message: Specialization into Barbarian Blood Warrior completed. Host’s Strength +5, Constitution +10, Vigor +5.]

[System Message: Detected the gold-grade skill Barbarian King’s Bloodline, the skill has enhanced the specialization of Barbarian Blood Warrior.]

[System Message: Under the enhancement of Barbarian King’s Bloodline, host’s Strength +10, Constitution +20, Vigor +10.]

[System Message: Host has automatically learned a Bronze-grade skill—[Boiling Blood (Beginner)].]

[System Message: Host has leveled up to a Level 1 Swordsman and is rewarded with the chance to draw a skill. Drawing skill…… Skill draw completed. Host has drawn a Gold-grade skill—[Conqueror’s Haki (Beginner)].]

[System Message: Host’s specializations have completed!]

The cold robotic voice and series of system messages dazzled Lu Chen.

However, Lu Chen managed to notice that the specialization for his Swordsman class only took the first half of all the system messages.

For some unknown reason, during the specialization of his Swordsman class, the blood in Lu Chen’s body also started boiling up and building momentum, which eventually led to his breakthrough to becoming a Barbarian Blood Warrior. That’s why the number of system messages doubled.

However, that was good news for Lu Chen. Having two classes would greatly increase Lu Chen’s attributes and also skills.

But, in order for him to enjoy the benefits of having two classes, Lu Chen would first have to pull through his current predicament.

Breaking through in two classes at the same time would greatly improve his prowess, and he would be incredibly strong after this.

But at the same time, the energy that was required for the breakthroughs would also be doubled!

Lu Chen rested three days in preparation for the breakthrough. In his plan, the herbal soup in addition to the help of the Mastery Points, three days’ rest would be enough to help him pull through the specialization easily.

But never once did he think that he would gain another class and have breakthroughs in both of them at the same time.

At this moment, Lu Chen could clearly feel the medicinal efficacy of the herbal soup in his body being quickly consumed by his body with the help of a mysterious force.

The medicinal essence was being turned into a warm stream of energy that followed the flow of his blood in his veins into the cells in every part of his body. They were consumed to regenerate the lost energy used for the specializations of the classes.

But no matter how good the herbal soup was, Lu Chen was only given one bowl of it. It didn’t take long before the herbal soup he drank was fully consumed by his body.

And just like previously, when the herbal soup’s medicinal efficacies were no more, the system would start consuming Lu Chen’s essence to continue the modifications on his body.

That said, Lu Chen’s situation now was not looking good at all.
