Chapter 37: Excellence, Cross-Level Assassin
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The five strands of sword Qi successively struck Angduo.
Angduo’s massive body convulsed violently.
【Sword Qi Tremor】 possessed extremely strong penetrative power at a similar frequency.
It bypassed most of Angduo’s armor.
Penetrating the armor, it struck directly at the flesh.
Angduo felt the pain. He roared from his mouth, while his heart screamed in shock.
How could this be?
This kid is clearly only level 11, yet he can break through my defense!
The power of 【Sword Qi Tremor】 is stronger than ordinary sword Qi.
Angduo staggered, nearly falling.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng had already charged in front of him.
In the dark night, the lighting was poor. Li Chengfeng was clad in black battle armor, making him hard to see.
Angduo had to widen his eyes, locking his gaze on Li Chengfeng, ready to swing his blade.
However, Li Chengfeng’s black-gold swordsman armor, having absorbed enough light, revealed its special effect.
Suddenly, the golden bands on Li Chengfeng’s body emitted a blinding light.
Angduo, already with his eyes wide open, was momentarily blinded.
His vision went white, and he couldn’t see anything.
“Weight Increase!”
A 2x quality multiplier.
The 16-kilogram Jade-Breaking Sword’s weight suddenly increased to 32 kilograms.
A full 64 jin.
Li Chengfeng exerted all his Qi strength.
He leaped up, and thrust his sword towards Angduo’s neck.
Angduo’s level 20 fine-quality battle armor had an extreme physical defense of 400 points.
The maximum physical damage of Li Chengfeng’s fine-quality Jade-Breaking Sword was 340.
Angduo knew he was about to be hit, so he channeled all his internal Qi into his battle armor to power it.
This brought its physical defense to the maximum of 400.
340 physical damage against 400 physical defense.
Clang!
The powerful strike only managed to create a small crack in the armor.
However, because Angduo’s eyes were wide open and overly focused on Li Chengfeng, the duration of his temporary blindness was significantly extended.
Taking advantage of Angduo’s delayed reaction, Li Chengfeng struck the crack with all his might once more.
The long sword scraped against the armor, producing sparks.
The blade pierced through Angduo’s thick neck, severing his spine.
Fearing that Angduo might not be completely dead, Li Chengfeng twisted the sword, tearing through the flesh.
Thud, thud, thud…
The massive head fell to the ground.
Li Chengfeng panted heavily.
This time, he should be completely dead, and I am safe.
Angduo’s neck spurted black blood like a fountain.
The crowd watching from a distance inside the building was stunned.
The level 11 Li Chengfeng had slain a level 21 giant.
Thud!
Angduo’s several-ton corpse fell heavily to the ground.
A strand of golden light from the corpse entered Li Chengfeng’s body.
【Ding! You have killed a member of an alien race.】
【You have received 50% of their account balance.】
【Money +216,000 yuan.】
Ha!
So much money.
Li Chengfeng was overjoyed.
He hadn’t expected killing an alien to be so profitable. This was far more lucrative than the bosses in dungeons.
At the same time, another strand of light from Angduo’s corpse entered Li Chengfeng’s body.
He immediately felt his understanding of internal skills and martial techniques reach a new level.
【Ding! Your internal skills have risen to level 12.】
【Ding! The 【Sword Qi Tremor】 technique has been upgraded to level 3.】
Li Chengfeng was delighted once more.
Both his internal skills and martial techniques had leveled up.
Killing an alien 10 levels higher than him had directly raised his level by a whole 1 level.
To put it in perspective, completing a two-person dungeon had only raised him by 0.4 levels.
【Ding! You have completed a super challenge by killing an opponent with the same quality equipment who is 10 levels higher than you.】
【You have earned the golden excellence achievement “Excellence – Cross-Level Assassin.”】
Li Chengfeng was overjoyed.
A golden excellence achievement.
Ding Cheng from the Xiaoyao Sect had mentioned that as long as one possessed an excellence achievement, they could focus on martial arts without needing to work.
With this, Li Chengfeng would be exempt from the daily 4-hour work requirement upon joining the Xiaoyao Sect.
Additionally, for each excellence achievement a Xiaoyao Sect disciple possesses, their monthly salary increases by 50,000 yuan.
With this achievement, joining the Xiaoyao Sect would be incredibly advantageous.
At this moment, the barbarian tribes, who were slaughtering in various places, learned of Angduo’s death.
The squad began to discuss:
**: This is bad, Angduo is dead!
***: It must be a powerful human who has appeared.
**: Retreat.
The barbarians began to retreat one after another.
They were nothing but bullies who preyed on the weak. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have specifically targeted the newbie area.
They never imagined that the one who killed Angduo was an 11th-level newcomer. Otherwise, they would have definitely come together to surround and kill Li Chengfeng.
Seeing the barbarians start to retreat., everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Great, the barbarians have retreated!”
“Li the Great is amazing, killing a level 21 alien at just level 11, and such a giant one at that.”
“Wow, so impressive~~ The barbarians were scared off!”
“Great Master Chengfeng, you truly live up to your name!”
“Who is that handsome guy? He’s so handsome!”
“Don’t you know? That’s the genius from our Modu University, Great Master Li Chengfeng.”
“A man like that makes you feel so safe. Does he have a girlfriend?”
Shu Fuyao glanced back at the girl who asked, “Yes!”
“Even if he does, it doesn’t matter. The new world rules are different now; there’s no rule that says it has to be one man, one woman.”
Shu Fuyao: “…”
Zhou Wen rushed out, knelt down, and hugged Li Chengfeng’s leg.
Crying, he said:
“Brother Li, you scared me to death. You saved my life. From now on, my life is yours!”
During the chase by Angduo, he had thought several times that he was going to die.
If it weren’t for Li Chengfeng, he might have already been cut in half.
Li Chengfeng shook him off:
“Get up! Get up! You’re a grown man, why are you crying?”
Shu Fuyao jogged up:
“Are you hurt?”
“No, it’s nothing, just got grazed by the back of his blade.”
“Let me heal you. I now have Earthly Force and Wood attributes, so I can be considered a doctor.”
“Alright.”
At this moment, everyone else also came out and surrounded Li Chengfeng.
While clapping, they praised his exceptional martial skills.
Li Chengfeng raised his hand to quiet them:
“Everyone, disperse. Go home early and try to stay indoors. I can’t guarantee that the barbarians won’t come back, nor can I guarantee that other aliens won’t come to the newbie area looking for easy targets.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed.
They were once again frightened and ran back indoors.
