Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Jiang Chen pondered. He had crossed swords with Jinhua and understood what an aura was. His [Dragon in the sky], with its Three Hundred Sword Auras, was completely useless. It was blocked by the aura, utterly unable to harm Jinhua, who could even catch the Sword Qi between her fingers.

This was absurdly powerful.

For a Wanderer, reaching the Third-stage, Sixth-stage, and Ninth-stage represented qualitative transformations.

At the Third-stage, one could cultivate Gang Qi to form a Magic shield.

At the Sixth-stage, one could fly and create a powerful aura.

And the Ninth-stage?

Jiang Chen asked, "What about the Ninth-stage?"

Christie Burton shook her head. "I'm not clear about that. That's the realm of Demigods; I've never witnessed it. Not only have I not witnessed it, but even the esteemed elder in my family hasn't."

The two chatted as they quickly arrived at the warehouse.

Christie Burton took out a piece of paper. The guard glanced at it and opened the warehouse door.

They walked in with great swagger to choose their equipment.

At that moment, Jiang Chen surveyed the inside of the warehouse, his eyes widening.

Everything glowed with a cyan light, meaning the lowest grade of equipment was all Gold Level.

Christie Burton smiled and said, "Everything here is Gold Level equipment. The Legendary ones you need are in the inner section. That's where you'll find the equipment you want."

Jiang Chen and Christie Burton followed the guard down to the next layer.

As expected, the next layer was entirely filled with a blue glow; all of it was Legendary level equipment.

The entire warehouse was full of them, at least several thousand pieces.

The guard led Jiang Chen inside, where there were several pieces of Swordsman equipment.

Christie Burton asked, "What do you need? Weapons provide the greatest upgrade, so you can choose one weapon."

[Xueming Sword (Legendary)]

[Level: 50]

[Class: Swordsman, Magic Swordsman wearable]

[Physical Attack Power: 350-500]

[Magic Attack Power: 350-500]

[Strength +120]

[Spirit +120]

[Constitution +120]

[Agility +150]

[Durability: 50/50]

[When releasing skills: Adds Xueming Armor, increasing Four-dimensional attributes by 200 points.]

[When releasing skills: Adds Xueming Power, increasing Physical Attack Power and Magic Attack Power by 50 points.]

[When releasing skills: Adds Xueming Escapade, increasing Resistance by 300 points.]

[Xueming Beasts: Summons two Xueming Beasts to battle. Their strength is determined by the summoner's own strength...]

Jiang Chen looked at the Legendary Weapon. This weapon was indeed good, with attributes far superior to Gold Level Equipment, but it wasn't what he needed.

Moreover, his [Leilun Magnetic Sword] had a Flying Skill and Sword Pulling Slash. This particular Legendary Weapon wasn't even as good as some Gold Level Equipment in terms of utility for him. Each weapon had different attributes, and finding one perfectly suited to him wasn't that easy.

Summoning two Xueming Beasts was also quite impressive. If it were magnified a hundred times, that would mean two hundred beasts, which sounded awesome. However, Jiang Chen didn't need summoned beasts.

Jiang Chen continued to examine the attributes of other weapons.

[Thunderbolt Sword (Legendary)] This sword was similar to the Xueming Sword, with the only difference being its skills.

[When releasing skills: Adds Thunder and Lightning Element to attacks.]

[When releasing skills: Has a chance to trigger the Thunder and Lightning Element, paralyzing the enemy.]

[Thunderbolt Armor: Forms an armor around the user. Cooldown: 5 minutes. Duration: 5 minutes...]

[Thunderbolt Wings: Forms Thunderbolt Wings, allowing flight. Cooldown: 10 minutes. Duration: 3 minutes...]

This weapon wasn't of any use either.

Jiang Chen already knew Thundering Sword Art, so his attacks were already infused with the Lightning Element. He also had the Blood Moon Battle Robe, which could paralyze enemies. As for additional armor, it was entirely redundant.

He possessed the [Sky Gang Sword Body], which already provided him with a shield.

As for wings, they had some use. However, since his [Leilun Magnetic Sword] already provided wings, these were superfluous. Jiang Chen wouldn't trade for this sword just for a slight increase in Attribute Value.

A thought struck Jiang Chen. "Are there any Skill Books here?"

"You want to exchange for a Skill Book?"

"Yes."

Equipment upgrades were significant, but not nearly as satisfying as acquiring new skills. He needed a wide-ranging skill. Sword Pulling Slash was a weapon-inherent skill, and weapons would eventually be replaced. Once replaced, that skill would lose its value.

His priority was to acquire his own skills. The Swordsman class had few innate skills, and they were generally of poor quality. Thus, he had to learn skills from outside the standard skill tree.

The guard explained, "Certainly. I'll take you to the Skill points section, where you can exchange for a Legendary skill."

"A Legendary skill?"

"Yes, skills also have different levels. However, it seems there aren't many Swordsman Skills. If I remember correctly, there are only two books."

"Take me to see them."

"This way."

Jiang Chen followed the guard into the Skill Hall. Skills filled the shelves, seemingly overflowing. Jiang Chen followed the guard into a corner.

The two simple words, "Swordsman," caught his eye.

There were only two skill books on the shelf.

Jiang Chen read the descriptions.

[All Swords Return to the Sect (Legendary Level)]

[When activated: Unleashes Three Hundred Sword Auras, each infused with intent. Attack Range: 10 meters. Attack Power: 5000%... Cooldown: 10 minutes. Duration: 1 minute.]

[Three-Part Returning Sword Qi (Legendary Level)]

[When activated: Condenses a sphere of Sword Qi above the head, containing one hundred Sword Auras. Attack Range: 10 meters. Attack Power: 5000%... Cooldown: 10 minutes. Duration: 1 minute.]

Jiang Chen was astounded by the descriptions.

If these were amplified a hundredfold, what would that even mean?

Three Hundred Sword Auras amplified... would become thirty thousand Sword Auras.

An attack range of 10 meters amplified... would become 1,000 meters.

A cooldown of 10 minutes amplified... would become 6 seconds.

A duration of 1 minute... would become 100 minutes.

This is practically invincible!

And the Three-Part Returning Sword Qi is also incredibly strong!

Only children make choices. I want them all.

Jiang Chen coughed. "Can I take both of these?"

"No."

"Then can I exchange Merit Points for it?"

"You need at least 1,000,000 Merit Points to exchange for one. You currently have only 300,000, leaving you 700,000 short."

Alright, I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. Then it shall be [All Swords Return to the Sect].

Jiang Chen reached out to [All Swords Return to the Sect].

[[All Swords Return to the Sect] is amplifying... Amplification successful.]

[When activated: Unleashes thirty thousand sword qi, each infused with intent. Attack Range: 1,000 meters. Attack Power: 500,000%... Cooldown: 6 seconds. Duration: 100 minutes.]

This is the true [All Swords Return to the Sect]! Compared to this, [Dragon in the sky] is child's play.

Jiang Chen asked, "Why are there only two skill books?"

The guard said, "I'm not entirely sure. The Swordsman class is newly established and still under development. If you want more skills, you'll need to report it to the higher-ups and have sufficient Merit Points for the exchange."

"Very few Swordsmen acquire skills, and you're the first one to come here to exchange for one."

Few Swordsmen manage to complete the First-stage advancement. Even those who do usually only undertake simple tasks. Such individuals aren't capable of much, let alone participating in wars or even effectively slaying monsters.

Completing simple tasks grants only 5 Attribute Value points per level-up, whereas Hell-level Missions grant 25 Attribute Value points per level-up. These are entirely different scales of progression.

Christie Burton said, "Let's go."

The two of them walked out of the warehouse.

Christie Burton chuckled. "I have heard of the All Wan Jian Gui Clan's technique. It's the ultimate skill of the Swordsman's Sword Sect and very powerful. Your Swordsman class was developed based on Wanderers."

"Are there others besides the All Wan Jian Gui Clan's technique?"

"I'm not clear on the others. Wanderers' Martial Arts aren't limited to the sword; they also include knives, spears, staves, and many more. However, because many Wanderers use swords, the Swordsman class was specifically developed."

"Weapons aren't particularly crucial for them. You should know that many master Wanderers can kill even without using a weapon."

Jiang Chen understood this point well. The strength of The Fallen lay in their True Qi, not their weapons.
