Chapter 22, Rank 2
You have killed Death Knight - Gun!
[The slaughter and plundering have begun!]
You have plundered the first-tier spell "Death Ray" from the bloodline of the Death Knight - Lance.
[Under the effect of this spell! Your Strength +0.125! Your Constitution +0.125! Your Agility +0.125!]
[Warning! Killing the Death Knight again will not grant you spells!]
"A death ray?"
Looking at the prompts before him, Zhang Changsheng began to communicate with the spell model in his mind.
"Death Ray!"
With a thought, Zhang Changsheng raised his index finger and pointed it forward, unleashing a black sword aura that resembled the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Then Zhang Changsheng experimented again and discovered that this death ray had a special feature: it was full of death energy.
Death energy has no effect on the dead, but it is like poison to the living.
"roar!"
Several roars, sounding like beasts but not quite human, rang out. The surrounding death knights, grieving the loss of their companions, all turned to look at Zhang Changsheng and charged towards him.
"Shield!"
Seeing the approaching Death Knight, Zhang Changsheng activated his shield spell, jumped off the white dragon's back, and then put the white dragon into his battle pet space.
The white dragon's strength is still insufficient; if he were hit by the attacks of these death knights, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.
Therefore, there is no need to keep the white dragon.
boom!boom!
Two bowstrings rang out, and two death knights wielding bows and arrows unleashed a triple shot, six streaks of dark light shooting towards Zhang Changsheng like lasers.
Zhang Changsheng didn't dodge; he raised his hand and used the Rocket Technique.
A burst of blazing fire energy was launched out by Zhang Changsheng.
boom!boom!
Six jet-black bone arrows struck Zhang Changsheng, but were deflected as easily as toothpicks hitting sheet metal.
At the same time, Zhang Changsheng's scorching energy struck the head of a death knight wielding a bow and arrow.
boom!
The same thing happened again; the Death Knight's head exploded instantly, and he was killed by Zhang Changsheng.
You have killed the Death Knight - Bow!
[The slaughter and plundering have begun!]
You have plundered the first-tier spell "Anti-Flying" from the bloodline of the Death Knight - Bow.
[Under the effect of this spell! Your Strength +0.125! Your Constitution +0.125! Your Agility +0.125!]
[Warning! Killing the Death Knight with the Bow again will not grant you spells!]
[Notification! Your strength has reached 10 points! You have been promoted to a second-tier wizard!]
[Your Intelligence +5! Perception +5! Charisma +5!]
You have mastered the second-tier spell "Fireball".
Amidst a series of notifications, Zhang Changsheng broke through to the second tier, with his intelligence, perception, and charisma all greatly improved, making him comparable to a mage who had just entered the second tier.
"Fireball?"
Zhang Changsheng's eyes flickered, and he used the second-tier spell he had just acquired. He was very curious about the effect of his second-tier spell.
boom!
A terrifying wave of flames rose from Zhang Changsheng's body. Then, under the control of magic, Zhang Changsheng took a step forward and threw a punch.
boom!
The fiery energy, like ocean waves, burst forth with this punch.
This wave of fire was 3 meters high and 10 meters wide, like a moving city wall.
boom!
All the Death Knights who charged forward were instantly blasted apart by this punch.
"As expected of a second-tier spell, its power is extraordinary."
Zhang Changsheng looked at the Death Knights who had been blasted apart and nodded with satisfaction.
You have killed Death Knight Sword!
[The slaughter and plundering have begun!]
[You have plundered the first-tier spell "Sword Summoning" from the bloodline of the Death Knight Sword.]
[Under the effect of this spell! Your Constitution +0.125 points! Your Agility +0.125 points!]
[Warning! Killing the Death Knight again will not grant you spells!]
"My strength has stopped increasing; only my constitution and agility have improved. I guess it's because my strength has already reached the second tier, and first-tier spells are no longer effective."
"It seems that the plan of the Sword God of Shili Slope cannot continue. Originally, I planned to just keep farming first-level monsters, which was safe and fast."
After shaking his head regretfully, Zhang Changsheng went to the corpses of those monsters, pointed the spatial ring in his hand at the corpses on the ground, and injected magic power into them.
hum!
The dragon head on the spatial ring moved instantly, transforming into a gigantic dragon head that swallowed the death knight on the ground, then ate the armor and spat out the rest.
After Zhang Changsheng's spatial ring consumed all the Death Knights' armor, the space increased from one cubic meter to six cubic meters, becoming significantly larger.
"A set of Death Knight armor can sell for about 500 to 800 gold coins. If you eat six sets, the cost is 3000 to 4000 gold coins, but it's five cubic meters larger, which is 50,000 gold coins."
"Yes, it's a great deal."
After doing a quick calculation, Zhang Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Great Strength!"
Zhang Changsheng clapped his hands together and used the Great Strength Technique, but the doubled power did not arrive.
Clearly, the first-tier Giant Strength spell is no longer useful to him.
"Just as I thought, first-tier spells only work on first-tier attributes. My power has already reached the second tier, so they have no effect at all."
After nodding slightly, Zhang Changsheng began to study the other two spells he had just acquired: the Anti-Flying Spell and the Sword Summoning Spell.
"No-fly spell!"
With a thought, Zhang Changsheng used a no-flying technique. He raised his right hand towards the sky, and a terrifying suction force rose from his right hand, just like a suction technique, drawing the birds in the air into his hand.
"This is a no-fly spell? How rare!"
After sighing, Zhang Changsheng used the Sword Summoning Technique.
"Sword, come!"
Zhang Changsheng gave a low shout, and the two steel swords behind him instantly flew up, dancing continuously in the air under his control.
"Isn't this sword control technique? Controlling a sword with one's inner energy!"
Zhang Changsheng's lips twitched slightly. This spell was too unorthodox, but he liked it.
"Fireball!"
"Fireball!"
Zhang Changsheng quickly wiped out the death knights here using his second-tier fireball spell.
Zhang Changsheng, who was already at the second tier, completely crushed the first-tier Death Knight.
After consuming the materials from these Death Knights, the storage space in Zhang Changsheng's spatial ring reached 36 cubic meters.
"Let's go, it's time to head back. We'll see what kind of Tier 2 quests there are; hopefully, they'll be easy."
"I almost forgot, there are also pig-headed men; they have tens of thousands of gold coins worth of stuff there."
With that thought in mind, Zhang Changsheng turned his horse around and headed in the direction of the pig-headed man.
……
"arrive,"
Looking at the towering mountain before him, Zhang Changsheng released the Fog Eagle.
Although his strength had already broken through to the second tier, he could easily kill those pig-headed men on the mountain.
But caution is still necessary. Who knows if some powerful monsters might have appeared on board during the few hours he was away? Better safe than sorry.
Soon, with the help of the Fog Eagle, Zhang Changsheng was able to see all the monsters on the mountain.
Apart from a Tier 2 pig-headed chieftain, the other monsters were all Tier 1 pig-headed men, posing no threat whatsoever.
……
On the crescent-shaped rock, the pig-headed chieftain yawned boredly, lying on the rock and looking at the warm sun in the sky.
His first-tier pig-headed minions were mostly fast asleep around him, with only a few pig-headed men idly turning over the soil and eating the grass roots.
boom!
A deafening roar suddenly rang out, and a 3-meter-high, 10-meter-wide wave of flame shot out from the grass and crashed into the crescent-shaped stone.
Some of the drowsy pig-headed chieftains were instantly awakened by the terrifying heat.
boom!
The explosion of flames tore the pig-headed chieftain's body apart.
Pig-headed Chieftain
Class: Tier 2 Warrior
Power: 12
Agility: 6
Physical condition: 8
Intelligence: 1
Perception: 1
Charisma: 1
Skills: Brute Force (Tier 1), Charge (Tier 1), Stomp (Tier 2), Jump Smash (Tier 2)
The pig-headed chieftain has a high strength of 12 points, but his physique is only 8 points, not 2nd level.
Therefore, he was instantly and severely injured by the Fireball spell.
His left hand was blown off, his right leg was blown off, and his internal organs were almost cooked.
If his strength hadn't reached the second tier and his vitality hadn't been far greater than that of the first tier, he would probably be dead already.
"Fireball!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Changsheng unleashed another Fireball Technique, throwing a punch that sent a wave of flames crashing in like a wall.
boom!
The pig-headed chieftain was instantly torn to pieces and turned into a corpse by the explosion of the fiery shockwave.
"A sneak attack is easy; a head-on confrontation is much more troublesome."
"I have to remember this lesson. From now on, when I'm resting, I need someone to keep watch over me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully."
After a moment of reflection, Zhang Changsheng looked at the first-tier pig-headed men who had been awakened by the explosion.
"Fireball!"
"Fireball!"
Zhang Changsheng charged into the group of pig-headed men and killed all the first-tier pig-headed men with two fireball spells.
The difference in strength was too great; these first-tier pig-headed men had no power to resist at all.
Almost simultaneously, a series of notifications appeared.
You killed the pig-headed chieftain!
[The slaughter and plundering have begun!]
You have plundered the second-tier spell "Gravity" from the bloodline of the pig-headed chieftain.
[Under the effect of this spell! Your Strength +1! Your Constitution +0.875! Your Agility +2!]
[Note! Killing the Pig-Headed Chieftain again will not grant you spells!]
"The attribute boost is that big?"
"My constitution and agility are now at 10 points, and my strength is at 11 points."
Zhang Changsheng looked at the prompt in front of him with some surprise, not expecting that the attribute improvement of the second-tier spell would be so high.
Zhang Changsheng had an idea and opened his attributes to check them.
Player: Zhang Changsheng
Talent: Killing Spree
Class: Second-tier Wizard
[Note: Reaching a maximum attribute of 15 points will allow you to advance to a Tier 3 Wizard.]
Power: 11
Agility: 10
Physical condition: 10
Intelligence: 10
Perception: 9
Charisma: 8
技能：弓箭精通（0阶）飞石术（1阶）风刃术（1阶）火球术（1阶）火箭术（1阶）驱毒术（1阶）雷电术（1阶）……
"After gaining 15 attribute points, can I break through to the third tier?"
"Just like my analysis, every 5 points is a grade."
After reviewing his attributes, Zhang Changsheng nodded slightly.
Next, Zhang Changsheng began cleaning up the battlefield. He first took out his spatial ring and devoured the extraordinary materials on the first-tier pig-headed man.
After consuming the materials from these pig-headed men, the space reached 50 cubic meters.
Next, Zhang Changsheng went to the crescent-shaped stone.
When he used the Fireball spell, the fire wave flew very high and did not affect the Dragon Blood Grass on the Crescent Stone.
The explosion only occurred after the pig-headed chieftain was sent flying a great distance.
Otherwise, these Tier 3 Dragon Blood Grasses, worth tens of thousands of gold coins, would have turned to ashes in the flames long ago.
After collecting the dragon blood grass, Zhang Changsheng went to the corpse of the pig-headed chieftain.
"I remember the extraordinary materials on the pig-headed chieftain were his teeth, leg bones, and heart."
While recalling the descriptions in the Monster Encyclopedia, Zhang Chang began cutting the extraordinary materials from the pig-headed chieftain's body.
Click!
Zhang Changsheng used his steel sword to cut open the abdomen and took out a ripe heart.
"Luckily, it was just cooked through and not fried to pieces, so it's still usable."
After glancing at the pig-headed chieftain's heart in his hand, Zhang Changsheng put it into his spatial ring and then began cutting the pig-headed chieftain's leg bones and teeth.
Zhang Changsheng did not intend to use his spatial ring to absorb the extraordinary materials of the pig-headed chieftain; instead, he planned to use them to forge equipment.
After all, he currently has no Tier 2 equipment and is very poor.
After storing the materials of the pig-headed chieftain in his spatial ring, Zhang Changsheng rode the white dragon to a village in the countryside.
"My lord, you're back?"
The old man who had told Zhang Changsheng about the Dragon Blood Grass came up to him, beaming with joy.
"I've killed all the pig-headed men on the mountain, you can go back to your lives now."
Zhang Changsheng nodded slightly and then said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, sir! Thank you so much, sir! We don't have to move anymore! That's wonderful!"
The old man looked very happy.
"Alright, I should go now."
"There are some pig-headed human corpses on the mountain; you can go and get them if you don't have enough food."
Zhang Changsheng mounted the white dragon and galloped towards Black Dragon City.
……
At the Adventurers' Guild, Zhang Changsheng sat down in front of the dragon girl.
"You've finished your task? That was fast!"
"I seriously doubt if you're really a first-tier wizard. What first-tier wizard is this strong?"
Huo Yun sighed as she counted the monster markings on the magic map.
"I recently broke through to the second tier by sheer luck, which is why it happened so quickly."
Zhang Changsheng said with a soft laugh.
"What? Second-tier?"
Huo Yun looked at Zhang Changsheng in surprise; she hadn't expected him to actually break through.
"I see, no wonder you were so fast."
"There are 38 Death Knights in total. Here's 3800 gold coins for you. 3800 gold coins."
Huo Yun sighed as she transferred money to Zhang Changsheng.
"By the way, do you buy dragon's blood grass here?"
"receive!"
After Zhang Changsheng took out the Dragon Blood Grass from his spatial ring, he received another 32,000 gold coins.
At this time, Zhang Changsheng's net worth was
Points: 8487
Gold: 79117
"I'm rich! I'm rich! Nearly 8 gold coins!"
Zhang Changsheng was very happy to see the number of gold coins on his card.
"Next, we'll go and craft Tier 2 equipment."
With that in mind, Zhang Changsheng walked out of the mission hall and went to the equipment shop next door.
The owner of the equipment shop was a white-bearded wizard who looked very energetic.
After casually glancing at the information, Zhang Changsheng discovered that it belonged to a third-tier wizard.
