Watching the values on the Attribute Table change.
Tang Zheng felt that all his efforts over the past few days had finally paid off. "Sword Saint" had reached its maximum level.
Next, he needed to raise the "Genius" class. Once it reached level 10, it should satisfy the basic prerequisites.
"The Experience Points requirement has reached 5,000. As my level rises, I need more and more Experience Points." Tang Zheng swallowed the boar meat in his mouth.
Still, there was nothing he could do about that.
Tang Zheng had always worried that, once he reached the later levels, there simply would not be enough monsters for him to kill.
He shook his head.
That was not something he needed to consider right now.
"The Justice Value has changed."
"I killed so many Goblins, yet it changed in a positive direction. So this 'Justice Value' is based on the perspective of one's own race?"
Tang Zheng stared at the Justice Value on the Attribute Table, musing to himself.
The "Justice Value" was also an extremely important stat in YGGDRASIL.
It was not only related to matters involving races, equipment, and classes, but it could also greatly amplify or weaken the effects of certain skills.
For example, the Eighth-Tier Magic "Moral Distortion" could twist an individual with a high Justice Value into one with a negative Justice Value.
For the Tenth-Tier spell "Divine Flame," the higher the Justice Value, the greater the damage it dealt. With a negative value, it could even be weaker than a First-Tier offensive spell.
In Tang Zheng's view, having a Justice Value that was too high or too low was not a good thing. There were quite a few skills and spells in YGGDRASIL that targeted Justice Value.
Keeping his Justice Value low was the better choice.
If his class, race, or equipment did not require it, then keeping his Justice Value at 0 would be even safer.
Gulp~
Tang Zheng took another swig of water, his gaze falling on the iron sword already covered in chips.
It looked like this iron sword was finally ready to be scrapped. Fortunately, he had prepared ten iron swords beforehand, so he would not be left without a weapon.
"Since Mid-tier Classes provide more stats than Low-tier Classes..."
"A max-level Sword Saint's attack power should exceed that of a level 15 adventurer in the New World. Maybe not by much, but it should... be around level 17?"
Tang Zheng silently estimated.
With the skill "Quick Slash" and its passive bonuses, it could deal 120% physical attack damage, at least raising its power by another level.
Rustle!
Rustle, rustle!
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
Hm?
Tang Zheng expressionlessly raised his head and looked toward the sounds coming from the forest beyond the bushes ahead.
Bang!
Heavy footsteps crunched across the leaves as a huge dark-yellow figure pushed aside the tall bushes and emerged.
"A Troll?"
"I knew it. There are quite a few Goblins in this Goblin settlement. How could there be no Trolls?"
Rather than showing any panic at the sight of the Troll, Tang Zheng grinned.
But the next moment!
The smile on Tang Zheng's face froze.
Behind the Troll that had emerged first, another Troll appeared.
Two of them?
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
Swish—
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
The sounds of branches and leaves rubbing together came continuously from the surrounding forest.
Heavy footsteps approached one after another.
The smile vanished completely from Tang Zheng's face.
Trolls emerged from all directions, spreading out as they surrounded Tang Zheng!
"Hey, hey. Six Trolls? That number's a little abnormal." Tang Zheng muttered.
The appearance of six Trolls instantly made the atmosphere tense.
Tang Zheng rose to his feet, his expression solemn.
At his current level, dealing with one Troll was no problem. Even two would not be much trouble. But taking on six at once...
This was no longer a matter of whether he could win.
"With the little intelligence Trolls have, they shouldn't be capable of setting a trap."
Tang Zheng's eyes flickered as he turned slightly sideways, trying to keep as many Trolls as possible within his field of view.
The small Goblin settlement he had just wiped out could not possibly support six Trolls, and they had appeared in a clear encircling formation.
That did not fit the characteristics of low-intelligence Trolls either.
However!
The Trolls clearly would not give Tang Zheng time to think.
"Human!"
"Roar!"
"Die!"
Almost at the same time, all six Trolls roared with savage faces, brandishing their enormous wooden clubs as they charged at Tang Zheng.
Heavy footsteps rang out in unison.
Their massive bodies, over two meters tall, stirred up an invisible gust of wind and oppressive pressure as they charged.
I can't let them surround me!
The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind. He swiftly swept his gaze around and quickly locked onto the Troll farthest from him.
"Magic Arrow!"
This was clearly not the time to conserve mana.
Mana was drawn from Tang Zheng's body.
Three Magic Arrows instantly formed in midair and shot toward the Troll farthest away from him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three Magic Arrows slammed into the Troll's chest, leaving three bloody holes the size of fists.
"Aargh!" The Troll let out a pained howl.
However!
Such injuries were nowhere near enough to seriously harm a Troll with its huge body, thick hide, and tough flesh.
After all, Tang Zheng's Magic Attack was only 13.
He had not expected that magic attack to inflict much damage on the Troll.
As the magic attack struck, the Troll's charge faltered, instantly opening a gap in the encircling "ring."
Tang Zheng moved at the same time he launched the spell, rushing toward that gap.
"Waaah!"
The Troll hit by the magic attack saw Tang Zheng charging toward it and angrily swung its enormous wooden club.
A heavy whistle tore through the air!
Whoosh!
While charging forward, Tang Zheng swiftly ducked. The massive club brushed over his head, and he dodged the attack, using the opportunity to break completely out of the Trolls' encirclement.
"I'll come play with you next time."
Without looking back, Tang Zheng kicked off the ground and rapidly fled.
However!
The six Trolls behind him clearly had no intention of letting Tang Zheng go. They roared in unison and gave chase.
Thud—thud—
Their heavy footsteps made the ground tremble faintly.
The dense bushes and trees seemed not to exist for the Trolls. As their huge bodies charged forward, all the intertwined branches and leaves were smashed apart.
The forest was their home ground!
But for Tang Zheng, those branches and bushes severely hindered his speed.
