Sword Saints Should Go Tank

Chapter 54

Sigh, I’m still too weak.

The existence of the Shadow Realm made Lu Chen understand the dangers of this world and most importantly, how weak he was.

I need to improve faster.

While Lu Chen quietly made up his mind, Wuzu spoke again.

“I will report to the Royal Court about our status through the totem pillar. Da Shi, from now on, double the patroller. Every male adult will be mobilized.”

As he said, he looked Lu Chen and said, “Ah’Chen, I know you hunt at night, but before help arrives from the Royal Court, don’t go out in the night now.”

“I understand.”

Lu Chen had no objections.

I can no longer hunt in the night now. If the Shadow Realm noticed me, I’ll be dead for sure.

Of course, that doesn’t mean Lu Chen would let himself relax.

I can’t go out at night, but I can go out during the day. Hunting barbaric beasts can also award me Mastery Points.

Because of the Shadow Realm’s appearance, Lu Chen now knows his safety was at risk. Hence, a sense of insecurity has overwhelmed him.

On the other side, after Wuze gave the orders, the whole village soon became busy.

Most of the male adults were summoned and Wuzu ordered them to guard the village carefully.

When the others were busy, Lu Chen was told by Wuzu to take a rest from the battle he just had.

Lu Chen didn’t refuse and returned home in the midnight.

After he returned home, he didn’t rest right away, instead, he took out the remaining jars and cooked some food.

While cooking, he was looking at the Mastery Points in his system page.

After he leveled up Barbarian Blood Warrior to Level 5, Lu Chen was left with 322 Mastery Points. However, after the battle with the hanger, Lu Chen’s Mastery Points increased a lot again.

[Mastery Points: 2733]

2733 points was a lot.

The Red Wedding Gown alone contributed 1200 Mastery Points to him.

While he was killing the Red Wedding Gown, Lu Chen took down 5 other Ghost Clothes and 6 more that died along with the Red Wedding Gown. They have also awarded him with many Mastery Points.

All of them added together and pushed Lu Chen’s Mastery Points over 2000 points.

However, Lu Chen wasn’t surprised by the amount of Mastery Points he has as he understood he deserved them.

Although I will need more Mastery Points as I level up, the increase in prowess will allow me to hunt stronger Evils that will award more Mastery Points.

As long as I am not afraid of the Evils and never turn back at challenges, I will be able to keep on growing stronger or die in the process of doing it.

Hunting the Evils for Mastery Points and improve his prowess was the only path Lu Chen could quickly become stronger.

However, Lu Chen would have to be motivated and not be afraid to take risks at all time,s or otherwise, he would never grow stronger.

I have the system with me, I don’t want to live like a coward for the rest of my life. Furthermore, the appearance of a Shadow Realm has already destroyed a few villages, this isn’t a world that will let me take a rest even if I wanted.

Whether if it was himself or the environment in this world, neither allowed Lu Chen to stop becoming stronger. Hence, Lu Chen really didn’t have a choice.

He didn’t think too much and called up the system page. Then, he commanded,

System, level up Barbarian Blood Warrior.

The appearance of Shadow World made Lu Chen felt insecure. Hence, he wanted to level up himself beforehand. But this time, he has chosen to level up Barbarian Blood Warrior instead of Swordsman.

That’s right, it was the Barbarian Blood Warrior that he was leveling first.

Although both classes would increase his prowess and would take the same amount of Mastery Points, the Barbarian Blood Warrior could give him more attributes because of the Barbarian King’s Bloodline’s enhancement.

Hence, Lu Chen was ready to level up Barbarian Blood Warrior first before Swordsman.

[System Message: Host used 600 Mastery Points and leveled up Barbarian Blood Warrior to Level 6.]

[System Message: Barbarian Blood Warrior class leveled up to Level 6. Strength +1, Constitution +1]

[System Message: Under the influence of Barbarian King’s Bloodline, leveling Barbarian Blood Warrior has given: Constitution +1, Vigor +1.]

Continue.

[System Message: Host used 700 Mastery Points and leveled up Barbarian Blood Warrior to Level 7.]

[System Message: Barbarian Blood Warrior class leveled up to Level 8. Strength +1, Agility+1]

[System Message: Under the influence of Barbarian King’s Bloodline, leveling Barbarian Blood Warrior has given: Constitution +1, Vigor +1.]

The Mastery Points from the Red Wedding Gown made it possible for Lu Chen to level three times in a row. But Lu Chen wasn’t surprised at all as it was after all a Black Coffin Evil that was strong even among its rank.

In terms of the barbarian cultivation level, it was equivalent to a Barbarian Body Warrior.

At the same time, the Evils have strange and peculiar powers. It would usually take a few Barbarian Body Warriors to take down a Black Coffin Evil in the Wilderness.

Whereas Lu Chen was just a Barbarian Blood Warrior when he killed the Red Wedding Gown alone. On top of it, he also killed a few of the White Wander Ghost Clothes.

Hence, it was only natural he was awarded the huge amount of Mastery Points.

Barbarian King’s Bloodline and Conqueror’s Haki made it possible for me to challenge those above my cultivation level. Defeating those stronger than me in the cultivation level will award the most Mastery Points.

But it’s better that I refrain from doing it in the future. It’s the safest way to slaughter Evils at the same level as myself.

As he thought, Lu Chen scooped the meat out from the pot with his hands and gobbled like a monster.

Whether if it was leveling up his class of Swordsman or Barbarian Blood Warrior, both needed the same amount of Mastery Points.

However, other than the Mastery Points, leveling still consume his nutrients.

In comparison, leveling up the Barbarian Blood Warrior would take much more nutrient than to level up Swordsman. Thus, Lu Chen would have to take more food after leveling up three levels in a row.

Just when Lu Chen was feasting, a soft and timid voice talked beside him.

Lu Chen looked over and realized it was Xiao Wei. She was holding a chopping knife and staring at him anxiously.

“Who.. who are you? This is Master Ah’Chen’s house. You.. you can’t come in.”

It was dark at night but Lu Chen’s strong prowess allowed him to see her clearly.

However, Xiao Wei wasn’t able to see him clearly in the dark. She only came out thinking someone came to steal their food when she heard the noise.

She had to stand up and defend their food even though she knew she might die if the exposed thief might kill her.

Even if I leave it be tonight, I’ll still be chased out of the house when Ah’Chen realized the food is missing tomorrow. Either way, I’ll die, so let’s do what I should.

Furthermore, Ah’Chen is a strong man in the village, his reputation might scare the thief away.

Xiao Wei has thought a lot with the chopping knife in her hands, she was hoping Lu Chen’s reputation would scare off the thief in front of her.

On the other hand, Lu Chen was a little embarrassed.

“It’s me.”

Xiao Wei heard the familiar voice and she suddenly hopped up happily.

“Mas.. master, why did you come back?”

“Something happened today. You should go back to sleep.”

After he said that, Lu Chen continued to finish the food in the pot. When he was about to clean up the kitchen, Xiao Wei said, “Master, please go and rest, I will take care of it.”

“Alright.”

As Lu Chen only had Xiao Wei in the house to help him with the house chores, he didn’t reject her offer.

After he let Xiao Wei clean up the kitchen, Lu Chen was prepared to go to rest.

However, after he took a step, Lu Chen looked at his left hand and stopped.

After he learned the skill Ghost Hand, Lu Chen’s left arm has completely turned dark red in color.

He wasn’t too worried about the changes in his left hand and has already found a perfect explanation for it. He just has to tell the others that it was a mutation from awakening the bloodline.

However, a left-arm like that would definitely garner a crowd’s attention but he has no interest in becoming the center of attention. Hence, Lu Chen summoned Xiao Wei and ordered, “Find me a cloth.”

“Yes, master.”

Although she didn’t know what he wants it for, she quickly found and handed him a piece of white linen cloth.

He held the cloth with two hands and tore it apart into strips. Then, he let Xiao Wei helped him to bandage and cover up his left arm with the linen cloth.

He waved his arm in front of him and nodded satisfyingly, “That’s much better.”

“Rest tonight. Tomorrow, let’s hunt the barbaric beasts.”
