Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

The enormous Wind Blade was right before his eyes, and Jiang Liu, having instantaneously moved behind the Wolf Demon using the special effect of the Flashing Brilliance Shoes, was faced with the Wind Blade that seemed to be waiting for him, unable to dodge in time and could only watch as it heavily struck him.

With less than a tenth of his health left, he simply couldn't withstand this Wind Blade attack.

However, as he watched the terrifying spell hit him, Jiang Liu did not die, nor did he feel anything—it was as if the Wind Blade was merely an illusion.

However, the Golden Cicada Buddha Robe on his body did tear slightly.

Jiang Liu remained expressionless, this scene was entirely within his expectations; this was the special effect of the Golden Cicada Buddha Robe. When he was about to encounter a fatal attack, the robe's special effect would activate, consuming 5 points of the robe's durability, and transfer all the damage from the attack to the robe itself.

Clearly, with his current injuries, the Wind Blade was enough to kill him, which had triggered the special effect of the Golden Cicada Buddha Robe.

The Wolf Demon, with a cunning, proud, and cruel look in its eyes, was thrilled as it saw its Wind Blade successfully hit Jiang Liu. Success!

However, seeing Jiang Liu still lively and vigorous, the Wolf Demon was stunned, unbelieving of what was unfolding before its eyes.

What was going on?

This Little Monk, who was he really? His cultivation level hadn't even reached the Body Tempering Realm, yet he possessed many miraculous methods, completely unlike what someone of his cultivation should have.

However, Jiang Liu was certainly not going to reveal the answers to the Wolf Demon's questions.

After using the special effect of the Golden Cicada Buddha Robe to block the fatal attack from the Wolf Demon, and noticing the robe's durability drop from 13 to 8 points, Jiang Liu could no longer afford to grieve over the durability, as he fiercely swung the Green Lotus Staff onto the Wolf Demon's head.

Following the attack, he raised his hand once more and the Swift Fire Bead's spell hit the Wolf Demon, almost depleting its health bar.

With such a dangerous level of health, Jiang Liu naturally would not give it a chance to counterattack. The Sheep Transformation Technique, just off cooldown, was activated again.

With one final swing of his staff, he successfully knocked the Wolf Demon unconscious.

To thoroughly eliminate evil, Jiang Liu had no intention of sparing the life of these inherently violent and man-eating demons. Seeing the Wolf Demon knocked unconscious, he approached and dealt another blow with his staff, completely killing it.

Notice: Gained 14200 Experience Points, gained 5 silver coins.

Notice: Level has increased by 1, current level 21.

Notice: The job change mission is completed, please choose the direction for job change.

With the Wolf Demon completely dead, a succession of system notifications appeared, much to Jiang Liu's delight.

Firstly, the experience points from this Demon General astounded Jiang Liu; over 14000 experience points, which was indeed substantial—killing this Wolf Demon was worth as much as his earlier mission of eliminating six bandits.

However, upon reflection, fighting and killing this Wolf Demon alone seemed far more perilous than the mission, didn't it?

Of course, aside from his astonishment, Jiang Liu was more overjoyed for not only had he gained a considerable amount of experience points, but after so long, his level had finally increased again, reaching level 21.

In the terms of the Journey to the West World, he could now be considered to have officially entered the Body Tempering Realm, right?

With such cultivation, even without the amplification from equipment and skills, his combat power was now comparable to that of a Demon Soldier.

Moreover, the most important thing was the job change mission. After so many bustling days, the job change mission was finally completed, which brought Jiang Liu immense joy.

With the job change phase reached, he could now consider himself having officially passed the novice period of the game, right?

As he leveled up, a cool sensation appeared inside his body, quickly sweeping over him, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Liu felt all his injuries heal.

Not only that, but the True Yuan he had greatly consumed during the battle also fully recovered.

From a gamer's perspective, it was an upgrade. Both health and mana were fully restored, which also saved Jiang Liu some time from having to cast the Guanyin Mantra on himself.

There was no rush to choose a new profession. Amidst the surprise, Jiang Liu began accessing his inventory space.

He had just single-handedly slain a Wolf Demon General, a feat that was incredibly challenging for his level. Who knew what items had dropped?

Although during the battle the loot was stolen, the items from creatures he killed solo or with his team were automatically picked up into his inventory space.

As the inventory space opened, it didn't take long for Jiang Liu to notice some new items.

As Jiang Liu's gaze fell, the corresponding attribute information appeared before him.

A Blood Bottle, not worth mentioning.

But there was also an Enhanced Healing Potion, which surprised Jiang Liu.

This Enhanced Healing Potion had also dropped when he'd defeated the Demon Marshal Electric Light Leopard in the Demon-Suppressing Hall. It could restore 20% of his health, a good item that doubled the effects of standard Healing Potions.

Two Mana Potions were a decent find. In battles as intense as this, lasting over half an hour, he would have exhausted all his mana, so these were good for sustaining his power.

Although up until now, Jiang Liu had never used any; he had just stored all the Mana Potions that had dropped.

Of course, apart from the potions, there were three pieces of equipment and a Skill Book. For Jiang Liu, who had taken on the Demon General alone, this drop rate was indeed quite good.

All three equipment pieces were useful for him now. After checking their attributes, Jiang Liu discarded the less valuable equipment and equipped the more valuable ones.

After refreshing his gear, Jiang Liu carefully examined his outfit and nodded in satisfaction.
