Chapter 35: Splendour

When Xavier saw this rating, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, although he said that he had successfully defeated many barbarians, he had been sent flying by Sauron twice! If it weren't for Miss Hannah's timely rescue, he would probably have died there on the spot.

As a result, I didn't expect to get an S rating in the end.

It seems that the system is still very benevolent and does not include this in the scoring criteria, as long as Xavier defeats Sauron at the end.

In addition, it is not surprising that his 'golden soup' proposal was also included in the rating.

Moreover, this time the reward was twice as much as the last time he defeated the bandits, and Xavier felt like a demolished nouveau riche who had become rich overnight.

Of course, he also paid a price, such as the injured left hand, but in his opinion, it was all worth it.

After being happy in his heart for a while, he focused his attention on the swordsmanship level, because after months of hard work, he was finally promoted from a trainee swordsman to a .......

Junior swordsman.

This is very puzzling, why can a junior swordsman easily defeat so many barbarians? Then, according to the classification of the system, is the barbarian not even as good as a trainee? And what rank should the captain be?

However, the system obviously does not answer these questions, and Xavier found that the upgrade conditions for junior swordsmen have become more and more difficult.

[Current Host Sword Skill Level: Junior Swordsman (40/1000)]

That's right, the upper limit at the back has actually changed from 100 to 1000! a tenfold increase, which makes Xavier wonder if it will cost 10,000 experience points to upgrade the intermediate swordsman in the future?

Moreover, it took him two months to gain more than 100 experience points, and now that he has been promoted to intermediate, doesn't it mean that it will take almost two years?

The only thing worth celebrating is that the upgrade is of course not just a simple upgrade, but will come with a reward, and the system will also give corresponding prompts.

[The following are the host upgrade rewards:]

[1. Increases the attack power of all weapons by 20%.] 】

[2. All attributes are randomly increased.] 】

[3. Even if the armor is removed, the armor value remains the same.] 】

The meaning of one and two is obvious, as they can be seen directly from Xavier's stats panel.

[Host: Xavier.]

Age: 22

Attack: 300 (Steel Sword)/1200 (Silver Sword)

Armor: 750 (armor)

Stamina: 250/250

Mana: 0/0

Mental Power: 1300/1300

Potion Resistance: 0/0

Deity Proximity: 0/0

Health: 225/225

It can be seen that Xavier's dual sword attack power has been increased by 20%, even if he changes to other swords in the future, the corresponding increase will continue to exist.

Of course, this boost is not limited to steel and silver swords, but also other attacks such as bows and arrows, spears, or even fists...... can get a corresponding boost.

If Xavier is allowed to fight with his fists now, his attack power will definitely not be 1, not to mention that he has improved his physical strength during this time, at least after a 120% increase, one punch is at least 'HP-1.2', although it doesn't seem to make a difference.

In addition, armor, physical strength, mental strength, and health have all been randomly increased to a certain extent, but the three masters are still motionless, which also makes Xavier quite puzzled.

System, you should give me a chance to improve them! Is it disgusting to put 0/0 there every day?Xavier thought depressedly in his heart, and suddenly felt that this might be the purpose of the system.

Show you, but you can't learn!

The third reward is a bit interesting, which means that even if Xavier takes off his armor, he has 750 armor, and there won't be the kind of incident where someone has his head cut off at night with his eyes open, because his armor can help him block it.

It can be said that the life-saving kung fu is stronger..... He thought to himself.

With these changes in mind, it's time for the main event.

The so-called skill point squander!

Originally, he thought last time that with 'Stinger', 'Bondage' and 'Heavy Attack', he should have good attack power in solo combat, but it turned out that in front of a strong man like Sauron, the two skills of 'Poison Attack' and 'Heavy Attack' would not be of much use at all.

Because if you're going to poison someone, you've to at least hit the opponent first, which is hard enough, and then the opponent can force them out of the bindings?

Of course, those barbarians who were killed by combos also thought the same, why did they die inexplicably without even having a chance to fight?

Luckily, Xavier now has six skill points that he can use to find skills that are good enough to give him a strong response to similar crises.

Among them, there is a line of skills that have caught Xavier's attention.

They are the Level 1 and Level 2 skills of the 'No Damage' line.

[Level 1 Skill 'Blood': When the host hits the enemy continuously without taking damage, the next attack will be increased by 20% (this increase can be stacked up to 240%)]

The reason why it's called 'No Damage' is because you have to be in a non-injured state during the whole process, and if you get hit, I'm sorry, you will lose your 'Blood' effect.

However, the word used here is to hit, which means that even if Xavier hits the enemy's armor, the effect of 'Blood' can still last!

Normally, Xavier can use the 'Sword Dance' to achieve more than ten combos, and if combined with the 'Bloody' effect, he can easily increase his attack power by more than 200 percent, although it can't compare to the single attack of 'Heavy Attack', but every sword dance is extremely powerful, who can resist it?

As for the second-level skill, it's a bit weird, because it's completely different from other skills, and even has a negative effect!

[Level 2 Skill 'Hot Blood': A passive skill that can increase each attack by 150% for a limited time of 60 seconds when the host needs it, but reduce all attack power by 100% for the next 120 seconds.] (Limited to once per hour)】

The advantage of 'Blood' is obvious, it can greatly increase Xavier's attack power in an instant, and then defeat the opponent with 'Blood' and 'Sword Dance'!

In this way, when he faces an enemy like 'Sauron' again, he can also forcibly break through the enemy's armor with extremely high attack power, so as to achieve the purpose of 'Stinger' and defeat the enemy!

But at the same time, it also has great drawbacks, the so-called huge 'Debuff', which actually reduces all attack power by 100% at once.

In other words, when he uses his 'hot blood', he must solve the battle in sixty seconds and become a man who is fast enough!
