Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Ruo Li smiled. "How about that? He agreed. Seven million plus this sword in exchange for the Angus Great Sword—you've made a huge profit."

Black Phoenix nodded. "You're right, I did make a huge profit."

Black Phoenix had not expected Jiang Chen to actually make the exchange, as that sword was indeed trash.

······

「The next morning.」

Jiang Chen continued toward the killing grounds of the Demonic Purple Tin Snake. There wasn't a soul in sight. Evidently, they were all wary of Jiang Chen.

Seeing no one around, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate to activate the Heavenly Ruler Dragon Mode. Three hundred Sword Qi encircled him. Each was infused with Jiang Chen's intent, ready to fly in any direction the moment Jiang Chen willed it.

It was just a pity that he couldn't use the sword for Flight.

The Demonic Purple Tin Snake had just respawned when it was swiftly slaughtered by Jiang Chen.

Experience +500

Experience +500

The experience points surged upward. By Jiang Chen's estimate, grinding for a day would allow him to advance to Level 24. Within ten days, he could reach Level 30. It was all simple and straightforward.

After grinding all morning, Jiang Chen headed to the King's Crown Tomb to continue searching for equipment.

Jiang Chen came out from the King's Crown Copy and looked up at the sky.

Another day of gathering materials. Nothing but damn materials. How long would it take to gather the complete King's Crown Equipment set?

Each day, a horde of people came to farm the King's Crown Copy, all in search of equipment.

Time to continue leveling up.

At the killing grounds of the Demonic Purple Tin Snake, Jiang Chen sat on the ground, munching on bread and continuing to farm, thoroughly enjoying the feeling.

Just as Jiang Chen was grinding, the space around him exhibited a Spatial fluctuation. Jiang Chen sat up and looked toward the source of the fluctuation.

What the hell?

Could a new Copy have appeared?

As Jiang Chen puzzled over this, a figure emerged from a Spatial Rift. She had light blue hair, a prominent nose, and held a Longbow, clad in blue Armor. It was clearly an Archer.

The Archer looked back in panic.

Then she noticed Jiang Chen and shouted, "Run quickly!"

At that moment, another rift opened, and several tall figures emerged. Also wielding Longbows, they shot arrows at the blue-armored woman.

WHOOSH...

With ease, the woman dodged and shot back three arrows in a seamless motion, hitting her targets squarely.

Jiang Chen observed the woman's actions. Her moves were extremely slick, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, allowing her to see everything clearly.

The Archers behind her drew their bows, the black arrowheads gathering Strength before launching an attack.

The blue-armored woman's face changed drastically.

WHOOSH! The black arrows sped towards the blue-armored woman, who quickly dodged. The black arrows exploded instantly, and a loud BOOM resounded.

Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded.

What was happening?

A group of Archers hunting down another Archer?

The black arrows blasted the blue-armored woman away, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Chen didn't want to interfere. After all, fights were common in the wild; it was either kill or be killed. Sometimes fights were over monsters, sometimes over equipment.

"#￥%￥#%"

"^$%^$^%"

After they spoke a few words, the remaining attackers aimed their arrows at Jiang Chen. Several black arrows shot towards him with the speed of lightning. Jiang Chen executed a Flash in the Void to dodge.

BOOM...

A huge crater appeared where Jiang Chen had just been standing.

Well, I'll be.

This is your fight, what does it have to do with me?

With a thought, Jiang Chen sent ten Sword Auras charging over. The figures in black swiftly dodged, evading Jiang Chen's attack.

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows.

These people were not ordinary.

If ten Sword Auras weren't enough, then three hundred would be. Regardless of who you are, I'll take you down first and deal with the questions later.

Jiang Chen simultaneously mobilized three hundred Sword Auras to rush towards the black figures. A sky full of Sword Qi swiftly flew out, morphing into a torrential sword rain.

SWISH SWISH SWISH...

Several black-clothed individuals died in an instant.

Experience +1,000

Experience +1,000

Experience +1,000

Jiang Chen was stunned. There are experience points for this?

The figure with light blue hair looked at Jiang Chen, utterly astonished. "Thank you, you saved me."

"No need to thank me," Jiang Chen replied. "I didn't intend to save you. They were trying to kill me, so I had no choice but to defend myself."

"Regardless, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have died. My name is Nidya. What should I call you?" As Nidya spoke, she took out a recovery Potion and swallowed it.

"Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen asked, "By the way, why did I get experience points for killing them?"

"That's because they are Corrupted Heroes."

Corrupted Heroes.

Jiang Chen knew since high school what Corrupted Heroes were. His camp was under the All Gods; besides them, there was another world.

In that other world, there were Evil Gods, and these Heroes followed behind the Evil Gods. They also wore equipment and upgraded their Strength. After their First-stage advancement, they would enter another battlefield.

Different factions had their respective Heroes, who slaughtered one another to gain experience.

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows. "How come there are Corrupted Heroes here?"

"They followed me here."

"Why follow you?"

"I was on a mission."

"What mission?"

"A First-stage Hell-Level assignment. My mission target was to slay the Level 60 Bloodthirsty Demon King. I was lucky to succeed, but then his subordinates chased me, following me all the way here."

What the hell is a Bloodthirsty Demon King?

Jiang Chen asked, "You're Level 50?"

"Yes, how else could I do a First-stage assignment? But I finally achieved it. What's your class? Your class is really strong." Nidya looked at Jiang Chen, her heart pounding with shock.

The youth in front of her had obviously not undergone his First-stage advancement and had not reached Level 50, yet he was able to kill those First-stage Archers. Clearly, his class was extremely powerful.

"I am a Swordsman."

Nidya was dumbfounded.

Swordsman?

Since when were Swordsmen so powerful? Such great Offensive Power, instantly killing a First-stage class?

Nidya couldn't help but show her curiosity. "Are you a student of Holy City's College?"

"No."

Holy City's College is the strongest institution in the Nordic European Union, parallel to the Shenlong Academy of the Dragon Zone Union.

"You're not from the Nordic European Union."

Jiang Chen remained silent. He indeed was not from the Nordic European Union, but from the Dragon Zone Union. Jiang Chen was very curious about First-stage assignments, especially Hell-level Missions.

Once completed, Hell-level Missions brought the richest rewards.

All Attributes increased by 50 points. This wasn't a trivial increase; it was to the base Attributes. The higher the base Attributes, the greater the growth later on. Different First-stage classes equipped with the same gear could yield entirely different results.

Post First-stage, monsters' HP was typically in the hundreds of thousands. Such HP could only be damaged by Silver-grade Sets, which was why many players remained at First-stage.

Jiang Chen asked, "Is a Hell-level Mission very difficult?"

Nidya nodded. "It's like a nine-in-ten chance of death. I prepared for a full half-year before I had the chance to kill the Bloodthirsty Demon King. You'll understand later; First-stage Hell-Level assignments are very difficult."

Jiang Chen smiled. "Not necessarily."

"Let me put it this way: First-stage Hell-Level assignments usually involve going into an Evil God's realm to kill their minions. Each one is incredibly strong. A Level 60 Demon King can even have up to 3,000,000 HP."

Three million HP?

That terrifying?
