"Oh! It's already 11:30. I'm going to eat. You take your time!" Xiao Mo exclaimed, looking at the time.
"Go ahead. I'll do the second class advancement quest and then go eat too. Oh, are you coming online this afternoon?"
"I have classes this afternoon, and then there are some things with the Student Council, so I won't be able to come online until evening!"
"Come online early. Get your level up to 50 for the second class advancement. The first five players to complete the second class advancement get rewards!"
"Mm!" Xiao Mo nodded, then went offline.
Watching Xiao Mo go offline, Lin Zheng crushed his Return City Scroll and returned to Tianshuang City, then headed straight for the Class Hall. In the Class Hall, Wang Yan's popularity was still as high as ever, surrounded by a large group of male and female perverts with excessive hormone secretion, while those genuinely seeking her for skills were few and far between. When the last Swordfighter learning a skill left, Lin Zheng finally stepped forward. As soon as they met, Wang Yan immediately recognized Lin Zheng and said in surprise, "Oh my! It's you, little brother! I haven't seen you in a few days, and you already have the strength for a second class advancement. That's amazing!"
"It's all thanks to Instructor Sister's excellent guidance!" Lin Zheng didn't mind flattering the beautiful woman. As expected, Wang Yan was very pleased and covered her mouth, chuckling.
"You're such a smooth talker, little brother! But just flattering me won't get you the true power of the second class advancement. You must pass the trial to become a stronger Swordfighter! I wonder which direction you want to develop in, little brother?"
"Second Class Advancement Quest triggered for Swordfighter. Please choose the class you wish to advance to!"
A prompt sounded, and a window appeared before Lin Zheng with two options: 1. Fighter; 2. Sword Dancer. Fighter was the advancement for strength-type Swordfighters. Based on Lin Zheng's stat distribution, he was actually more suited to be a Fighter, but Lin Zheng liked the agility of the Sword Dancer class, so he chose Sword Dancer!
"I want to become a Sword Dancer!" Lin Zheng replied.
"A Sword Dancer! A Sword Dancer requires agile movements. Your Agility must reach 100 points or more to be competent in this class!"
Upon hearing Wang Yan's reply, Lin Zheng couldn't help but open his attribute interface to check. His Agility was only 91 points, still 9 points short of the requirement! But it didn't matter. Lin Zheng hadn't allocated the 3 levels he gained in the Wizard Tower yet. He put all of them into Agility, instantly reaching 106 points!
Seeing that Lin Zheng's Agility points were sufficient, Wang Yan nodded, then said, "Now there's only the final trial. I will teleport you to a trial space. As long as you successfully defeat the guardian of the trial space and obtain the treasure from the chest he guards, you can become a powerful Sword Dancer!"
After Wang Yan finished speaking, an interface appeared before Lin Zheng again, with two options: "Go to Trial Immediately!" and "I'm Not Ready Yet!". Lin Zheng unhesitatingly chose to go to the trial immediately. The next moment, Lin Zheng transformed into a white light and disappeared from the Class Hall.
His vision went black, and Lin Zheng found himself in a space spanning several thousand square meters. To his astonishment, the entire floor of the space was made up of stone pillars, some large, some small, and beneath the stone pillars was a bottomless abyss!
"Whoa, whoa! This trial is too terrifying!" Lin Zheng looked at the stone pillar he was standing on with trepidation. It was just big enough to stand on; a slight lapse in attention and he would fall into the abyss! Lin Zheng swallowed hard. Which bastard designed this class advancement quest?!
Lin Zheng quickly jumped onto a larger stone pillar, calmed himself, and then looked towards the center of the trial space. There was a humanoid creature guarding a golden treasure chest. Lin Zheng carefully stepped across the stone pillars towards the center. Soon, he clearly saw the appearance of the trial space guardian: it was a puppet holding a Sword Blade Bow!
Puppet Sword Dancer: Level 50 (Elite), Physical Attack 1650-2140, Physical Defense 1180, Magic Defense 1150, HP 18750. Skills: All Sword Dancer skills, Level 1.
A puppet with all Sword Dancer skills? Lin Zheng broke out in a sweat. It seemed this guy wasn't that easy to deal with, especially in such a dangerous place! All in all, it was better to strike first! Lin Zheng immediately assembled his Sword Blade Bow and shot an arrow at the puppet. Bang—! An arrow hit, and -3570 damage floated above the puppet's head. At that moment, the puppet's eyes glowed red, and it immediately raised its Sword Blade Bow and shot an arrow at Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng dodged the puppet's arrow but nearly fell into the abyss below. Just as he managed to regain his balance, he saw the puppet quickly stepping on the stone pillars and rushing towards him!
"Damn it!" Seeing the puppet Stomp towards him, Lin Zheng was so scared he immediately jumped away. "Bang!" A large section of the stone pillar was stomped off. Unexpectedly, before Lin Zheng could stand firm, the puppet leaped out of the dust, delivering two kicks in mid-air. Swish, swish, two green New Moons slashed down towards Lin Zheng, -2060, -2080, two damage numbers floated above Lin Zheng's body. After the attack, the puppet, just about to fall into the abyss, suddenly stomped on the void, as if stepping on solid ground, and leaped up again. In mid-air, the puppet somersaulted, its heel drawing a verdant curve that fiercely smashed into Lin Zheng. "Bang—" Lin Zheng was directly smashed to the ground, and an even larger damage number floated above his head, -5117!
"You bastard!" Lin Zheng's expression turned fierce. He kicked the puppet away and quickly got up, pulling out a piece of roasted snake meat to eat. Seeing the puppet charging at him again, stomping on the void in mid-air, Lin Zheng immediately held his Sword Blade Bow and slashed! "Soul Cut!" Swish—! A gray sword qi instantly hit the puppet, -7830! After using Soul Cut, Lin Zheng immediately jumped to other stone pillars and drew his bow, firing arrows at the puppet. He dared not let the puppet get close again; if the puppet unleashed Aerial Kill, he would be finished!
"Bang!" Although the puppet was extremely agile on this battlefield, it was hit by an arrow again, taking 3400 damage. Two more arrows and he could finish it off! Lin Zheng's spirits lifted, and he continued to draw his bow and shoot! However, he seemed to have forgotten that this puppet was also an Archer! While jumping, the puppet quickly drew its bow and fired, an arrow taking 1420 HP from Lin Zheng. After landing on a stone pillar, the puppet endured Lin Zheng's shots and returned an arrow, then leaped up, its feet trailing fire as it Stomped towards Lin Zheng! Seeing this, Lin Zheng's expression instantly changed. "Damn it, isn't this Explosion?! With this puppet's attack, getting hit would definitely be an instant kill!"
"Shit!" Lin Zheng cursed loudly, turning around and jumping without caring if there was a stone pillar in that direction! "Boom—" A huge Explosion sound echoed in the trial space, and the strong explosive airflow made Lin Zheng, who was hanging under a stone pillar, sway violently! He almost really fell into the abyss!
Lin Zheng struggled to climb up from under the stone pillar. As soon as he stood firm, the puppet charged again. Lin Zheng was truly fighting a rather humiliating battle this time. Seeing the puppet charge, he immediately roared, "Damn it! Are you never going to end?!" He drew his bow and shot, "Bang!" It accurately hit the puppet, -6890, a critical hit! Watching the puppet, its HP depleted, fall into the abyss, Lin Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief!
