Sword Saints Should Go Tank

49 Bloodlust

A dark air was spreading from his left arm to Lu Chen’s body.

A backlash? Even when I just own it?

But frankly speaking, Lu Chen wasn’t surprised to see it happening. After all, the Ghost Demons were never a good thing.

Fortunately, Lu Chen was right about it. This world was too far away from Arad. Although the Mastery Points simulated the aura of the Ghost Demons, it couldn’t replicate the Ghost Demons’ will and sentience. This makes it a lot easier for him to just deal with the Ghost Demons’ auras.

But just when Lu Chen was about to mobilize his Vigor to suppress it, a sudden throb happened in his mind

An aura suddenly emerged from Lu Chen’s mind. It has the coercion of a dragon and the dominance of a king.

In its momentum, Lu Chen felt the abnormal movement in his left arm fell silent in an instant.

This, it’s the Conqueror’s Haki, it could suppress the Ghost Demons’ auras?

Looking at his left hand that returned back in his control, Lu Chen who originally thought there would be a fierce battle was a little dazed.

After a long time, Lu Chen sighed.

“It sure is worthy as a Gold skill.”

Lu Chen’s Barbarian King’s Bloodline was very strong, which gave Lu Chen a strong body, and would even award him with more attributes when he levels up his Barbarian Blood Warrior class.

Because of the huge enhancements it brought to him, Lu Chen had paid more attention to the Barbarian King’s Bloodline and neglected his other gold-level skill, the Conqueror’s Haki.

But now, Lu Chen finally understood that none of the Gold skills were weak.

The Barbarian King’s Bloodline strengthens the body, which can be clearly perceived, while the Conqueror’s Haki enhanced my willpower, spirit, and courage. At the same time, it also gives me high resistance to the intrusions of any abnormal consciousness.

So it seems like I don’t have to worry about having my will affected by anything else in the future.

Hmm, I wonder if I could’ve broken out of the bowl Evil’s control if I had activated my Conqueror’s Haki back then.

As soon as the thought came into Lu Chen’s mind, Lu Chen shook his head.

It’s probably difficult, that broken bowl doesn’t seem like it’s controlling my body through mental manipulations or the likes. Otherwise, my Conqueror’s Haki would’ve reacted and fought back automatically. So it means, it’s power has something to do with the laws of this world.

It sure is a perilous world, the mysterious it holds is beyond me. I still have to be careful now.

Thinking of it, Lu Chen picked up the jars next to him and drank heavily.

During this round of advancements, Lu Chen consumed a lot of energy in leveling and drawing skill. But after the level ups, Lu Chen was no longer the same man he was. With a Constitution of close to 50, Lu Chen’s body was vibrant in energy.

Therefore, even when the system would consume Lu Chen’s life essence each time he levels, Lu Chen could bear with the consumption now.

And every time he improves, it would only make Lu Chen temporarily feel feeble instead of permanently reducing his prowess.

Of course, it was unavoidable that he has to supplement his body with energy after the advancements.

However, this was already very good. At least, Lu Chen didn’t have to hold the jars and drink while advancing like before.

Now, Lu Chen could supplement his nutrition after he finished with the advancements.

In either way, his body must be supplemented with the nutrition, or otherwise, Lu Chen would remain weak after the advancements.

Soon, Lu Chen drank four of the seven jars in one go. Only at this point did Lu Chen felt the energy resurging in his body.

Looking at the four empty jars, there was a hint of helplessness on Lu Chen’s face.

Sigh, one jar of herbal soup used to be enough for me to replenish the energy in my body, but now, I need four jars. Sure enough, the stronger the prowess, the greater my consumption. I can’t relax on my food supplement.

However, soon, Lu Chen left behind the slight dissatisfaction in his heart. Compared to the resources to replenish his energy, Lu Chen paid more attention to the improvement of his personal prowess.

Looking down at his cursed hand, Lu Chen was satisfied.

From now on, it’ll be up to you to deal with the Evils.

Although he had not fought against the Evils with it nor has he inspected the description of his Ghost Hand, Lu Chen was confident that it could definitely cause harm to the Evils.

Many of the Evils are just some ghosts, evil spirits, and the likes. But what infected my left hand are the Ghost Demons, the pinnacle of their kind. It’d be a joke if a hand cursed with the Ghost Demons will not be able to defeat the Evils.

As he thought, he opened the system page and looked at his current status.

[Host: Lu Chen]

[Age: 15]

[Level: 20]

[Class: Lvl 5 Swordsman / Lvl 5 Barbarian Blood Warrior]

[Mastery Points: 322]

[Skills]

[Bull’s Strength (Bronze)]

[Intuition E (Bronze)]

[Boiling Blood (Bronze)]

[Master Swordsmanship (Silver)]

[Critical Strike (Silver)]

[Conqueror’s Haki (Gold)]

[Barbarian King’s Bloodline (Gold)]

[Ghost Hand (Dark)]

…

[Ghost Hand (Dark)]

[Description: A hand cursed by the powers of the Ghost Hand, it can be used to attack an enemy in the soul state. Attacks inflict soul damage to the enemy.]

[Passives: Air of Soul +50, Soul Touch]

[Actives: Bloodlust, Ghost Slash]

[Bloodlust: Grabs a target and drains its energy, then uses that energy to unleash a damaging surge. The surge damages targets all around, and the caster’s Strength increases. Can also target souls.]

[Ghost Slash: Infuses the weapon with the soul before he swings it, dealing shadow damage to an area in front.]

It has two actives. It is a Legendary skill.

The moment he saw Bloodlust and Ghost Slash, Lu Chen understood that Ghost Hand was already in the ranks of Legendary skills.

However, the usual color of Legendary skills was the 7-color rainbow and Ghost Hand’s color was black. This shows that it was a forbidden skill, frequently using it would increase the chances of backlashes.

A true Legendary skill will not have many consequences. What a pity.

I should be content. Right now, whether it is the Bloodlust or Ghost Slash, both actives can cause damage to the Evils and I don’t have to consume my Vigor for that.

All in all, Lu Chen was still very satisfied with the Ghost Hand. As long as the Conqueror’s Haki was able to keep on suppressing the Ghost Demons’ auras in the Ghost Hand, he would be able to use it unscrupulously in the battles.

Other than the skills, Lu Chen’s advancement in his Barbarian Blood Warrior levels has also greatly increased his basic attributes.

[Strength +34, Agility +13, Constitution +49, Vigor +29]

[Aura +10, Willpower +20, Dominance +10, Perception +5]

[Fury +10, Sharpness +3, Longsword Mastery +20, Basic Swordsmanship +20, Power of Ghost Demon +50]

Constitution has reached 49, one more to 50. Not bad.

Lu Chen valued his Constitution very much as it was the reason he was able to tank his way out of numerous perilous situations.

The higher the Constitution, the more at ease Lu Chen felt.

Soon, Lu Chen has a full grasp of the changes in his prowess.

Then, he stood up with the metal sword in his hand without hesitation.

Evils, here I come again!

“Master, are you still going out?

“How about, we call it a night here and wait for tomorrow?”

Lu Chen’s tragic condition when he returned from the battles shocked the two barbarians. Hence, the two of them didn’t want him to risk going out again.

Lu Chen smiled back in response.

“No time to wait. Furthermore, I am at my peak state now.”

Lu Chen was also worried about the dangers lying out there, but no matter how scared he was, Lu Chen still panned planned to hunt.

The system is perfect, but if I want to become an expert, I will have to fight and hunt the Evils, I have to earn more Mastery Points.

Furthermore, dangerous is a relative term. As long as I am strong enough, even the dangers that could destroy the village will be nothing more than a breeze of wind for me, not able to cause me any harm.

Lu Chen was not willing to rest and strode out of the village.

Of course, Lu Chen was not lying, he was in his peak state now.

It was true that he was miserable when he came back from the battles, his internal organs had been severely injured.

But having nearly 50 points of Constitution wasn’t a joke. After he drank a few jars of the herbal soup coupled with the recovery ability of his body, every injury he had was now fully healed.

Right now, he was indeed in his peak state.

However, just before he was about to move, a horn suddenly sounded not far away.

This time, he didn’t need the two barbarians to remind him and understood the situation.

Another Evil has entered the totem pillar’s protection.

What’s going on? Why are they so many Evils that have broken into the border these few days?
