Chapter 4: Spirit Whip
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After using up 20 points of internal energy, Xiao Han found a safe place to sit down. Five seconds later, Xiao Han recovered 10 points of internal energy. He stood up and used two consecutive Heavenly Demonic Hidden Forces. After the two wild dogs were killed, his internal energy was exhausted and his level increased by one level.
His HP increased by 100 points, his internal energy increased by 10 points, and his status was restored to full value. Xiao Han secretly praised himself. It was as he had expected. When he leveled up, his internal energy would return to full value.
After leveling up, Xiao Han killed a Level 4 monster. Basically, he could only kill one with two strikes of the Heavenly Demonic Hidden Force, but the experience he gained was not as much as the two wild dogs. Xiao Han gave up on the Level 4 monster and focused on killing the wild dogs. When he reached Level 3, his attack power basically increased. Only when he could instantly kill a Level 4 monster did he start killing Level 4 monsters.
After the most rigorous calculations, he used the fastest and simplest method to kill the monsters without wasting a second. This was where professional players were stronger than ordinary players. Most ordinary players liked to chat and play while killing monsters. This would waste a lot of time, but Xiao Han would not. His every move was so fast, as if he was racing against time. Even when he walked, he had to carefully calculate the route and how to save more time.
Soon, he reached level three. Xiao Han walked towards the level five monster area. He could basically challenge monsters two levels higher than him without using any strength. Moreover, the Heavenly Demonic Hidden Force was very domineering. It was much higher than the cultivation techniques of ordinary players. With each level, there would be more attacks. Therefore, the higher the level, the greater the difference in strength between others and him.
When he arrived at the Level 5 monster area, he saw some demonized wolves. Xiao Han used the Heavenly Demonic Hidden Force, but the demonized wolf did not die on the spot. Instead, it rushed over even more fiercely. Xiao Han dodged to the side. After 10 seconds, another Heavenly Demonic Hidden Force was fired. Its movements were as smooth as flowing water, simple and natural, like a perfect art. The demonized wolf whimpered and fell to the ground.
Xiao Han calculated the experience he gained. It was much higher than the two Level 4 monsters. In other words, killing the Demonized Wolves was much faster than killing the Level 4 monsters. However, the danger had also increased. If he was not careful and was attacked by the two Demonized Wolves, he might die.
It would be fine if he was careful. If it really didn't work, he should be able to escape with his speed. He bent down and searched the corpses of the demonized wolves before picking up a staff.
[Willow Staff: Magic Attack 2-3]
It was much better than the new staff on his body. Xiao Han changed into the willow staff and added all the points he had left previously to his spirit. In the game, strength determined physical attack, spirit determined magic attack, agility determined speed, and the other attributes were related to the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Art and the level of internal energy.
After switching to the staff and adding the points to his Spirit, Xiao Han felt that his attack was obviously much higher. Xiao Han released a Heavenly Demonic Hidden Force. The demonized wolf was not instantly killed, but it was already on the verge of death. It tried its best to rush towards Xiao Han. Xiao Han used the staff in his hand to hit the demonized wolf's head. It only lost 10 HP, but the demonized wolf died.
Xiao Han smiled. This way, he could save a lot of time. After searching for a moment, he picked up a book. It was a level five body-protection technique.
[Iron Skin Technique: body-protection technique, low-grade.]
Although it was a low-grade body-protection technique, at the very least, he did not have to worry about not having a body-protection technique to learn after he reached level five. At most, he would change to another body-protection technique after he had a better body-protection technique.
After killing dozens of Demonized Wolves, Xiao Han had leveled up to level 4. His gains were also quite bountiful. He changed out of all his beginner equipment and put on Level 1 equipment. This was already considered quite good among all the players. From Level 1 onwards, he could change equipment every five levels. Therefore, it was already not bad for a Level 4 player to be able to put on a set of Level 1 equipment. What excited him was that he also obtained a Level 5 Wizard skill book.
[Spirit Whip: A Dark Wizard skill that deals 50% magic attack damage to the enemy and causes a certain fear effect. Preparation time: 1 second. Skill buffer time: 3 seconds. Consumption of internal energy: 2.]
It's an attack skill. Although its attack power is much weaker than the Heavenly Demonic Hidden Force, which deals 100% magic attack damage, this attack skill mainly consumes less energy and has a fear effect.
Xiao Han shuttled back and forth between the demonized wolves. His black figure flashed quickly, and his footwork seemed to have a strange rhythm, like dancing steps. After getting rid of a demonized wolf, Xiao Han saw a long sword lying on the ground. It might be a Level 1 weapon. It should be worth some money. Xiao Han walked over and picked up the long sword on the ground.
[Iron Sword: Unidentified, limited to Sword Immortals.]
It was a sword immortal's item, and it had yet to be appraised. He didn't know if it was good or not, but since he hadn't obtained anything that hadn't been appraised yet, it shouldn't be too bad. Xiao Han threw the iron sword into the Cosmic Ring and didn't think too much about it. He continued to search for monsters.
A wolf howl came from the front. It was different from the howls of ordinary demonized wolves. Could it be a Boss-level monster? Thinking of this, Xiao Han walked towards the source of the sound. He didn't dare to expose himself. After all, it was already difficult for him to face two ordinary demonized wolves. If he encountered the Wolf King, he would definitely die. But since he was already here, he had to meet it before leaving.
Xiao Han hid behind the rock and looked towards the source of the sound. Six people were trying their best to resist the Wolf King's attack.
The wolf king was as tall as a human, and its huge body was a little scary. Its entire body was covered in gray fur, and its pupils were blood-red. A sword immortal, a Daoist priest, and a ghost surrounded the wolf king. The ghost was a Level 1 summoning spell of a contract wizard. The ghost's attack was much weaker than the sword immortal and the Daoist priest, but it was very resistant.
Behind them were Contract Wizard, Demon Sorcerers, Demon Archers, and a Dark Sorcerer, casting their own spells.
The battle had reached its climax, and the six-man team was in a perilous situation. There were several times when the sword immortal and the Daoist priest were almost killed in an instant. However, the Wolf King didn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all. Fortunately, the six of them had a tacit understanding. Otherwise, the team would have been wiped out long ago.
