"Learned Quick Slash, consuming 3 Skill Points."
Bzzz—
"Mid-tier Class Sword Saint Job Advancement successful!"
Tang Zheng looked at the information on the Attribute Panel, a hint of surprise and understanding appearing on his face. "As expected, I can use the Job Advancement method from the New World, which differs from the game."
However!
Tang Zheng lowered his head, his gaze flickering.
He directly gained the class without even an option asking whether he wanted to advance?
The conditions he currently knew for advancing into combat-related classes could be divided into two methods:
① Touch the weapons or equipment related to a class to obtain that class.
Advantage: Basic Classes were relatively easy to acquire.
Disadvantage: Mid-tier and High-tier Classes were relatively difficult.
② Learn skills by consuming Skill Points, then indirectly obtain the related class.
Advantage: There was plenty of room for maneuver. As long as he had a target and Skill Points, he could gain classes by having the other party use skills.
Disadvantage: Learning a skill automatically granted the class, with no option to refuse, so caution was necessary.
Tang Zheng weighed the advantages and disadvantages of the two Job Advancement methods. Compared with the second method, the first had become largely useless now that he possessed the General Class Genius.
He looked back at the Attribute Panel.
After obtaining Sword Saint, his Overall Level had risen to 2Lv, and he had gained another 3 Skill Points.
"With leveling speed like this, it's no wonder there were Players in the game who directly advanced into a hundred classes."
Tang Zheng let out a quiet sigh.
Simply advancing into different classes could raise his level. Even someone as steady as Tang Zheng had a fleeting thought.
"The fact that I gain 3 Skill Points every time I level up hasn't changed."
"Looking at it this way, I can theoretically obtain up to 300 Skill Points. If I lose levels after dying and then level up again, can I repeatedly obtain Skill Points?"
That thought suddenly flashed through Tang Zheng's mind.
This naturally would not work in the game Overlord, but in this New World, Tang Zheng did not know whether he could exploit a bug.
He shook his head.
For the moment, he suppressed the thought. It was not something he needed to consider right now.
While the information on the panel had not yet disappeared, Tang Zheng used another 2 Skill Points to learn Instant Reflection and Fourfold Slash of Light!
Tang Zheng planned to temporarily save the remaining 1 Skill Point for emergencies.
At this moment.
His Attribute Panel had undergone entirely new changes.
[Attribute Table] Player: Tang Zheng Justice Value: 0 [Neutral] HP: 23 (1.7%) MP: 13 (1%) Physical Attack: 23 (1.7%) Physical Defense: 13 (1%) Agility: 23 (1.7%) Magic Attack: 13 (1%) Magic Defense: 13 (1%) Combined Resistance: 0 (0%) Specialness: 0 (0%) Total: 9.1% ... [Ability Table] Innate Talent: [Player] Overall Level: 2Lv Experience Bar: 0/100 Classes: Basic Class: Genius 1Lv (Warrior) Mid-tier Class: Sword Saint 1Lv Skill Points: 1 Passive Skills: Item Box, Slash Damage (1%) Active Skills: Warrior—Instant Reflection, Fourfold Slash of Light, Quick Slash ----
Tang Zheng quickly scanned the information on the Attribute Panel.
Class: Sword Saint
Level: Mid-tier Class
Description: When using bladed weapons such as sabers, swords, axes, or claws, Slash Damage could be increased by 1% per level, up to a maximum of 10%.
(Note: For every level gained, HP, Physical Attack, and Agility each increased by 10 points.)
Skill: Instant Reflection
Cost: None
Description: After attacking, force the body to return to its previous attacking posture.
Skill: Fourfold Slash of Light
Cost: None
Description: Launch four Slash Strikes simultaneously. Attack power might be dispersed, and accuracy would decrease.
Skill: Quick Slash
Cost: None
Description: Class skill—quickly launch a Slash Strike forward, dealing 110% physical damage. (Cooldown: 10s)
"It only increases HP, Physical Attack, and Agility? As expected, different classes favor different stat increases. And a Mid-tier Class only provides a 10-point increase. Basic Classes are probably even lower."
"Good thing I have Genius, which spared me the need for Basic Classes."
"But a Mid-tier Class actually provides a passive skill?" Tang Zheng looked at the additional passive effect under Passive Skills.
A maximum of 10% Slash Damage!
How should he put it... it was average.
Tang Zheng pondered slightly. "The most surprising thing is actually the skills. The New World's Martial Arts and class skills are far more distinct than I expected."
Quick Slash had clearly defined damage and a cooldown.
Yet Instant Reflection and Fourfold Slash of Light lacked that information, containing only basic descriptions.
"No wonder Bone Lord placed such importance on Martial Arts. They're completely different from warrior skills in the game Overlord."
Tang Zheng thought of this with some bemusement.
In the game YGGDRASIL, warrior skills differed somewhat from the Magic System.
Most magic cast by Magic Casters had no cooldown and only consumed mana, hence the saying that MP was a Magic Caster's true lifeline.
Of course, high-tier magic and skills also had cooldowns and requirements.
Warrior-type skills did not consume mana, so they had cooldowns. Some special skills even consumed a certain amount of MP or had other restrictions.
Martial Arts in the New World consumed "focus," but Tang Zheng's Attribute Panel did not display a value for focus. He would probably have to study that himself.
Rustle!
Rustle!
The people seated in the stands suddenly stood up one after another. The abrupt commotion caught Tang Zheng off guard.
Right after that.
Tang Zheng sensed several figures seated beside him looking at him in surprise as he remained seated.
"Ahem."
Tang Zheng coughed lightly and stood up with everyone else, expressionless.
Although he did not understand what was happening, doing what everyone else did could not be wrong.
Perhaps because he rose too abruptly, Tang Zheng's body involuntarily tipped forward, falling toward the front.
Tang Zheng hurriedly reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the spectator in front of him, finally steadying himself.
The person seated in front of Tang Zheng.
Was a middle-aged man with brown hair. His full beard gave him a fierce appearance. Having someone suddenly grab his shoulder—especially with clearly excessive force—made him feel that the other party had done it deliberately.
"What is it, brat?" The brown-haired man looked displeased as he clenched his fists and turned toward Tang Zheng.
"Uh, I was a little careless just now."
An apologetic look appeared on Tang Zheng's face as he withdrew his hand.
"Hmph!" The brown-haired man glared fiercely at Tang Zheng, as though committing his appearance to memory. He looked as if he intended to cause trouble later.
Tang Zheng's brow furrowed slightly.
Given his current circumstances, he adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile and naturally did not like trouble coming his way.
The reason he had nearly lost his balance just now was that Tang Zheng had discovered his strength had increased significantly, leaving him somewhat unaccustomed to it.
But it had lasted only an instant.
Tang Zheng lightly clenched his fist, feeling the greater strength within it. "The increase in basic stats is reflected in my body in real time. Even though it happened suddenly, it feels as though I've trained for a long time."
He raised his head.
Tang Zheng's gaze passed over the heads of the crowd and toward the arena below.
While he had been examining the Attribute Panel, Gazef and Brain had already left the arena.
The reason everyone had stood up now was that the nobles and royal family seated in the round tower stands had begun leaving first. Ordinary citizens naturally had to show respect.
After understanding the reason.
Tang Zheng simply remained standing with those around him. This was not the time to stand out.
At least the nobles were not going to give speeches or anything.
Tang Zheng glanced once more at the round tower stands, feeling slightly regretful.
He had originally thought he might see the Golden Princess, but the round tower stands blocked everything from view.
And so he stood there.
For a full half hour.
Tang Zheng's mouth twitched as he took a deep breath.
Privileged classes truly were detestable.
As the nobles departed one after another, the solemn venue became noisy again.
Most people were discussing the outcome of the battle between the Warrior Captain and Nail Clipper. Even more were envious, since regardless of who had won or lost, both had been invited by the king into the royal palace.
At this moment, the brown-haired man turned around with a sinister grin, fists clenched. He was preparing to thoroughly teach the black-haired brat behind him a lesson.
But the space behind him was already empty.
"Fuck! He ran that fast? Don't let me catch you!" The brown-haired man froze, then could not help cursing loudly.
