50: Old man Chen leads the upgrade, and the speed is faster than a rocket!

“You’ll only have greater trouble if you kill me. I advise you not to act.”

Trick knew he was no match and had already given up resisting.

He leaned on his sword to keep himself from falling, his tone surprisingly calm.

Chen Beixuan paused slightly, then narrowed his eyes and asked.

“You mean, if I kill you, the power behind you will come for me?”

Trick nodded, “That’s what I mean… so…”

“Lightning Spell!”

Boom—

Before he could finish, a bolt of lightning struck down fiercely!

True Damage - 25086.

His health bar was instantly cleared!

Trick was utterly stunned, a huge question mark appearing in his mind.

He had already mentioned the power behind him, and the other party had heard it.

Why did he still dare to act!?

Was he not afraid of death!?

Chen Beixuan lowered his staff and smiled at Trick.

“I look forward to their arrival. Goodbye!”

“Pfft—”

Hearing his words, Trick spat out another mouthful of blood.

His eyes were fixed on the old man in front of him, dying with his eyes wide open.

——————

As a series of notifications sounded.

Several bright lights appeared around Trick!

He took two steps forward and picked them up one by one.

[You have obtained Purple Equipment [Dark Cross Sword]!]

[You have obtained Blue Equipment [Swordsman’s Bracer] [Ancient Ring]!]

[You have obtained White Equipment × 4!]

[You have obtained Skill Books [Death Ray Slash] [Black Mist Enshroudment]!]

[You have obtained Item [Trick’s Diary]!]

Chen Beixuan checked the purple equipment’s attributes.

Dark Cross Sword: Lv. 20 Purple Epic

Effect 1: Physical Attack +280

Effect 2: Strength +25, Agility +25

Effect 3: Critical Hit Rate +20%.

——————

“Is it a Warrior-Assassin class…?”

Trick’s attacks earlier were very strange.

Despite being a Warrior, he landed critical hits every time, dealing extremely high damage.

Upon seeing this weapon, he suddenly understood.

Dark Swordsman should belong to the Warrior-Assassin class, a fusion of Warrior and Assassin.

It focuses on critical hits and attack, while being sturdier than an Assassin.

It was indeed a good hidden class.

He shared the equipment attributes with the two, and Lu Ziming immediately took a liking to it.

“Grandpa, I want both this sword and the skill book. The money has been transferred!”

He acted quickly, directly transferring the money.

[Ding, I Want to Defy the Heavens has transferred 1,000,000 to you, which has been automatically deposited into your bank card!]

Chen Beixuan was somewhat amused by this.

These two items were worth around 500,000, but this kid directly gave him a million.

He wasn't one to be overly polite, so he directly handed over the equipment and skill book.

He also included the blue Swordsman’s Bracer.

There was still a blue ring left, which he had no use for.

He simply tossed it to the Super Dad beside him.

Super Dad held the ring, looking a little overwhelmed.

“This…”

“Take it. Protect this kid well.”

Chen Beixuan patted his shoulder, his face showing appreciation.

Although he found the person a bit strange upon their first meeting.

But after a short time together, he also understood Super Dad’s personality.

Steady, not talkative, yet intelligent and capable.

This kind of person suited his taste.

He also healed him in a timely manner earlier, remaining calm in a crisis, truly living up to the name Super Dad.

A ring in exchange for the other party’s goodwill was well worth it.

At this moment, Lu Ziming had completed his class transfer quest, and his appearance had changed.

His long black hair fell to his waist, his upper body was bare, and his skin was pale gray.

His hands were black, with black and red veins extending from the back of his hands to his forearms.

Black mist enveloped his body, looking incredibly cool and imposing!

“A little handsome…”

Chen Beixuan smacked his lips, feeling emotional inside.

His Chaos Mage did not change his appearance; only his palms gained sun and moon patterns.

Sun on the left hand, moon on the right, corresponding to Yin and Yang Chaos.

Compared to Lu Ziming’s complete transformation, his was much less impressive.

However, he pursued power and didn't care about such things.

“What’s the effect of your class passive?” he asked, a thought stirring in his mind.

Lu Ziming directly displayed his class skills for the two to see.

“Not bad. You can totally put all your points into Constitution from now on. The higher your health, the higher your attack.”

Chen Beixuan finished reading and gave a positive evaluation.

Lu Ziming scratched his head with a smile, grateful.

“Without your help, Grandpa, I don’t know when I would have completed this quest. Thank you very much.”

“Alright, don’t get all sentimental.”

Chen Beixuan raised his hand to interrupt him, quickly changing the subject.

“I’ll help you level up a bit more, then get as far away from me as possible. I have things to do!”

Lu Ziming chuckled and nodded heavily.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

The three searched for a suitable monster grinding spot according to the map.

Soon, they found a desert basin filled with poisonous snakes and scorpions; the density was just right.

“Protective Flame!”

Whoosh—

Orange-yellow flames ignited; wild monsters within a 20-meter radius died upon contact!

[Ding! You have killed [Desert Poison Scorpion Lv. 18], gaining 0 experience points! Copper Coin + 15!]

[Ding! You have killed [Desert Poison Scorpion Lv. 18]…...]

......

His level had already exceeded the wild monsters by 3 levels, so he no longer gained experience.

All the experience flowed into Lu Ziming’s body, and golden light kept falling!

[Ding! Your level has increased to Lv. 11, gaining…]

[Ding! Your level has increased to Lv. 12, gaining…]

......

Lu Ziming followed behind Chen Beixuan, exclaiming how enjoyable it was!

“Wow, this leveling speed is too awesome!”

“This is even faster than riding a rocket!”

Super Dad’s eyelids twitched violently.

How was such a large-scale scorching skill achieved?

Shouldn't continuous skills have very low damage multipliers?

Why were they all one-shot kills?

He was secretly shocked; every time he saw Old Man Chen act, it refreshed his perception of reality.

“This leveling speed… I want it too…”

Super Dad felt incredibly envious but also helpless.

He also wanted to ask Old Man Chen for help with his class transfer quest, but he didn't have that much money.

Given their brief acquaintance, he also felt awkward asking for help.

He felt a bitter taste in his mouth but could only sigh to himself…

...As golden light continuously fell.

In less than 10 minutes, Lu Ziming had leveled up to Lv. 18!

The basin was covered in charred snake and scorpion corpses, and a peculiar meaty aroma lingered in the air.

Suddenly, the ground in front rumbled, shaking the earth!

Immediately after, a gigantic desert scorpion burst out of the ground!
