Different skill tiers provided different boosts to Lu Chen's strength, and this world ran deep.
That swordsman who could not even be looked at directly made Lu Chen realize that the powerful figures of this world were unimaginably strong.
If all he had were Bronze- and Silver-tier skills, then against high-level opponents, he would very likely be instantly killed—or fought across tiers by those descendants of gods.
That was entirely possible. After all, the bloodlines and skills possessed by those descendants of gods might be Seven-Colored Myths that surpassed Gold.
Against such beings, Silver- and Bronze-tier skills were simply too weak. Lu Chen absolutely did not want to become the backdrop for someone else's cross-tier battle.
After considering it for a long while, Lu Chen let out a sigh.
"System, raise my Swordsman level."
In the end, Lu Chen chose to wait a little longer.
"Even if I raise Barbarian Blood Warrior, if I only obtain a Silver-tier skill, it won't improve my strength by much."
"Therefore, I should raise my Swordsman level first. If things truly become extremely dangerous, I can raise it directly then."
"Besides, my constitution has already improved. Even if engraving skills into my body consumes vital essence, I can withstand it now."
His desire for Gold-tier skills made Lu Chen choose to wait.
System notification: The host consumed 600 Experience Points. Swordsman level increased to Level 6.
System notification: Host's Agility +1, Strength +1.
"Continue raising it."
System notification: Host...
"Continue."
Without much hesitation, Lu Chen raised his Swordsman level all the way to Level 9 in one go.
At this point, both Lu Chen's Barbarian Blood Warrior level and Swordsman level had reached Level 9.
His attributes had now become:
``` Host: Lu Chen
Age: 15
Class: Level 9 Swordsman / Level 9 Barbarian
