What a shame, why isn’t it the big ass falling sword—Demacian Justice?

Lu Chen was disappointed to see the skill’s descriptions.

He wasn’t disappointed at the skill as Judgment was also a relatively strong skill, equivalent to a miniature Bladestorm and it can also be cast while moving. This gave Lu Chen a means to escape from perilous situations.

However, although it was strong, it could only deal physical damage.

But Lu Chen’s biggest threat now was the Evils. What he needed most was not skills that deal physical damage but skills that could hurt the spiritual and elemental targets.

Hence, even when it was a good skill, Lu Chen had no choice but to give it up.

System, reroll a new skill.

Come on, Ghost Slash, Demacian Justice, Starfire Spellblade, Armament Haki, just give me a magical skill, one that can hurt the Evils.

Even when Lu Chen was an atheist, he still stood upright in solemn and prayed.

Sadly, he who was not very sincere in praying didn’t have the blessings from the Goddess of Luck.

[System Message: 5 Spirit Orbs were consumed for a reroll. Host has drawn the skill—Intuition E (Bronze).]

Lu Chen was in conflict to see the skill.

Intuition E, I never thought I’d draw this skill.

Intuition E was a skill from the FATE series. It was one of the Saber Servant—Artoria Pendragon’s abilities.

Although it doesn’t add any points to his attributes nor it could do any damage, it was still a remarkable skill.

Intuition, or in other words, the sixth sense of battle. If he was lucky enough, he could even predict his opponent’s next moves in the battles. At the same time, Intuition could also alert him on some of the imminent dangers.

Lu Chen recalled that Intuition was similar to one’s sixth sense or battle instinct and ‘E” represents the rank of the skill. As Lu Chen and his team haven’t had the time to make changes to the skill, the skill description was exactly the same as that in the FATE series.

In FATE, rank ‘E’ represents having ten times more than ordinary humans. This means, after learning Intuition E, Lu Chen would have an instinct 10 times stronger than normal.

He must admit, he was in a serious dilemma.

Although it wouldn’t give Lu Chen the ability to attack Evils, its power was extremely useful in helping Lu Chen to detect any imminent and hidden dangers.

After taking some time considering and noticing that he only has 5 Spirit Orbs left in him, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and made his choice.

System, lock in Intuition.

As Lu Chen commanded, golden light glimmered in the system page and shone onto his body. After that, Lu Chen’s basic attributes were increased again.

[System Message: Host leveled up to Level 5 Swordsman. Strength +1, Agility +1.]

At the same time, the skill icon of Intuition in the system page shattered. This time, it didn’t fuse into Lu Chen’s body but flowed into his mind in a stream of cold air.

The cold air freshened Lu Chen’s mind and at the same time, he felt more affiliated with his surroundings.

However, the cold air was quick to fade and Lu Chen’s senses to his environment faltered again, leaving him frustrated on the spot.

He took a long time to get rid of the frustration and called up the system page to check on his new skill.

[Intuition E (Bronze) (Beginner): There is a chance you can predict your opponent’s next moves and may also be alerted about imminent dangers.]

[Passive: Perception +5.]

[Can be leveled up for 100 Mastery Points.]

Lu Chen’s mouth twitched when he saw the words like “A chance” and “May also be”.

I’m right. Although Bronze skills are useful, they aren’t really that useful either.

Thankfully, Intuition can be leveled up from rank E to rank S. As long as I have enough Mastery Points, I will one day be able to raise it to rank A. Once I have Intuition A, I will even be able to evade the attacks from the Spear of Impaling Barbed Death—Gae Bolg if I’m lucky enough.

When he thought about his future with Intuition, Lu Chen couldn’t help but smile.

After some thinking, Lu Chen ordered, System, level up Intuition.

[System Message: Host used 100 Mastery Points and leveled up Intuition E to (Beginner) to Intuition E (Intermediate).]

[System Message: Next level requires 200 Mastery Points.]

At that instant, Lu Chen couldn’t smile anymore as he noticed that Intuition didn’t level up from rank E to D but still remained in rank E. Instead, it was just leveled up from Beginner to Intermediate.

Moreover, his face turned dark and gloomy right after when he thought about the amount of Mastery Points required to raise Intuition from rank E to A.

Damn it, just how much Mastery Points do I need to bring it up to rank A?

Bah, whatever, I should stop thinking too far into the future. The Fire Bull’s blood is still spilling, I should continue leveling.

As it was only a Bronze skill, Intuition E didn’t consume much of his energy. So Lu Chen was able to continue level up himself.

Lu Chen only has 409 Mastery Points left in him but it requires 600 Mastery Points to level up his Swordsman class again. Hence this time, Lu Chen chose to level up his second class, the Barbarian Blood Warrior.

From the memories of Ah’Chen, Lu Chen learned that the Barbarian Blood Warrior was just the beginning of the barbarian’s cultivation path.

After becoming a Barbarian Blood Warrior, only 10 percent of the barbarian’s blood was infused with the intense Vigor.

One has to cultivate their prowess and infuse all their blood with their Vigor to reach the peak of the Barbarian Blood Warrior stage.

After that, they would have to infuse their blood into their bodies. By then, they would enter the next cultivation stage which was the Barbarian Body Warrior.

Lu Chen also recalled that the barbarians have their own ways to classify their prowess in the same cultivation stage.

In steps of 30-percent in each stage, those that have less than 30 percent of their blood infused with Vigor were the Early Barbarian Blood Warrior, followed by the Middle Barbarian Blood Warrior, and the Late Barbarian Blood Warrior.

Whereas those that have 90 percent and above of their blood cultivated were the Peak Barbarian Blood Warrior.

However, that was just how the barbarians have decided to determine their prowess. In Lu Chen’s system, it has a different way of doing it. For every 10-percent of Lu Chen’s blood that was cultivated, he would be a level higher.

Right now, Lu Chen has 409 Mastery Points with him, which makes it possible for him to bring his Barbarian Blood Warrior class to level 2.

Although I can save the points for my Swordsman class, it’ll only add points to my attributes. But what’s more important to me now was to get a skill that can damage the Evils.

If I do it with my Swordsman class, I will have to wait until I raise it up to Level 10 before I can get a chance to draw another skill. On the other hand, I just have to raise my Barbarian Blood Warrior class to Level 5 and I can get another chance of getting a new skill.

Of course it would take much more Mastery Points to level up his Swordsman class from level 5 to Level 10 than to level up his Barbarian Blood Warrior class to Level 5. Hence, Lu Chen already knew what to do without thinking.

System, level up Barbarian Blood Warrior.
