Chapter 2: Hundredfold Amplification Activated, Forty-Meter Sword Aura
Jiang Chen was stunned.
The system might be late, but it would never be absent.
Standing on the stage, Jiang Chen felt a burst of white light.
The Class Change Master looked at him with disappointment.
“Swordsman. Rating: D-Class. Next.”
Jiang Chen was greatly disappointed.
Only D-Class?
System, get out here and explain why I’m a D-Class Swordsman!
[Hundredfold Amplification activating…]
[Activation complete.]
Hundredfold Amplification?
What does that mean?
“Next, Wang Gang.”
Wang Gang was extremely excited. Walking with exaggerated swagger, he stepped onto the stage and placed his hand on the crystal ball.
“Class Change Successful: Holy Knight. Rating: A-Class.”
Wang Meng smiled.
“You may step down.”
“Oh.”
The students all looked at him with envy.
Wang Gang proudly looked at Jiang Chen.
“Your bro has successfully changed classes. An A-Class Holy Knight at that. Awesome, right?”
Jiang Chen had no mood to congratulate him.
He was busy calling out to the system.
But there was no response at all.
Could the system be fake?
Just his imagination?
Jiang Chen looked at Fatty Wang.
This fat guy was actually an A-Class Holy Knight?
That shouldn’t be possible.
Did this guy cheat?
Whether it was looks or physique, Jiang Chen considered himself a hundred times better than Fatty Wang.
As a handsome man, how could he lose to a fat guy?
How could his class be worse than Fatty Wang’s?
It was simply too depressing.
Looking at the students who failed to change classes, Jiang Chen felt slightly better.
Class changes were not guaranteed to succeed.
The success rate was roughly fifty percent.
Among them, thirty percent became support-type professions with virtually no combat power, such as farmers, blacksmiths, tailors, doctors, and so on.
At least a swordsman used a sword.
Yet it had been rated D-Class, the lowest-rated melee profession.
Wang Gang noticed Jiang Chen’s expression and looked even more pleased.
“Little bro, just follow me from now on. I’ll carry you while we level up.”
Jiang Chen replied:
“Just the two of us leveling together? That’s basically suicide. You carry a sword, I carry a sword, and we charge at monsters like idiots?”
“I have a shield.”
“Even with a shield, it’s useless. How many hits can you actually take?”
“It’s fine. I’m an A-Class profession. We’ll just recruit a healer to follow us and everything will be okay.”
The problem was whether a healer would even look at him.
Healers were in extremely high demand now.
The reason swordsmen were rated so low was that they were purely offensive classes with virtually no defensive abilities, far inferior to knights in that regard.
Knights could wield shields.
They could defend and attack.
A profession balanced in both offense and defense.
Swordsmen couldn’t do that.
They relied entirely on agility.
Their attack power was inferior to knights, while their agility was inferior to assassins.
That was why their rating was so low.
Wang Gang laughed.
“By the way, what’s your skill? I got a skill called Holy Light Protection. It lets me create a shield for a short period and increases defense by fifty percent. It’s insanely awesome.”
Jiang Chen had almost forgotten.
After successfully changing classes, everyone would receive a personal emblem and awaken new skills.
Everyone also gained a status panel and the ability to equip gear.
By killing monsters, they could earn experience and increase their strength.
The four basic attributes were:
Constitution
Strength
Agility
Spirit
As levels increased, these attributes would also increase.
Jiang Chen quickly opened his panel.
[Name: Jiang Chen]
[Class: Swordsman]
[Level: 1]
[Experience: 0/100]
[Constitution: 5]
[Strength: 5]
[Spirit: 6]
[Agility: 5]
[Equipment: None]
[Storage Space: 5]
[Skills:]
Basic Swordsmanship:
Gather all internal power and unleash a sword beam forward to attack enemies.
Attack Range: 40 cm
Charge Time: 3 seconds
MP Cost: 1
Basic Footwork:
Temporarily increases agility, allowing the user to evade enemy attacks.
Duration: 5 seconds
MP Cost: 1
That’s it?
A trash class with trash skills.
Jiang Chen selected the skill.
[Hundredfold Amplification in progress…]
[Amplification successful.]
So this is my cheat ability?
Hundredfold Amplification.
Jiang Chen checked the skill again.
Basic Swordsmanship:
Gather all strength and unleash a sword beam forward to attack enemies.
Attack Range: 40 meters
Charge Time: 0.03 seconds
MP Cost: 1
Shock.
Pure shock.
Monster, I’ll allow you to run thirty-nine meters first.
My forty-meter sword aura is already itching for action…
The range had been amplified by a hundred times.
The attack power had also been amplified by a hundred times.
Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded.
He selected the other skill.
[System amplification in progress…]
[Amplification successful.]
Basic Footwork:
Temporarily increases agility and allows the user to evade enemy attacks.
Duration: 500 seconds
MP Cost: 1
Five hundred seconds.
What kind of concept was that?
That was over eight minutes.
A battle rarely lasted that long.
Most fights ended within a few dozen seconds.
Jiang Chen finally understood what Hundredfold Amplification meant.
He had been born standing at the peak of kings.
Who could possibly be his opponent now?
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jiang Chen calmed himself.
Meanwhile, Wang Gang took out his phone and searched online.
Suddenly, he became excited.
“This skill book is amazing! Holy Light Judgment!”
Jiang Chen glanced at it.
Holy Light Judgment:
Holy light attacks have a certain chance to stun enemies.
Price: 50,000 gold coins.
Wang Gang excitedly said:
“See that? It can stun enemies. Isn’t that awesome? I’m going to buy it.”
“Yeah, it’s pretty impressive.”
“What about you? Aren’t you buying a skill book? After changing classes, besides our class skills, we can also learn two additional skills.”
Jiang Chen immediately took out his phone.
With Hundredfold Amplification, who knew what kind of skills would become overpowered?
Sword Aura Dominion:
Condense sword aura around yourself. The sword aura automatically attacks nearby enemies.
Duration: 1 minute.
Wait a second.
Let the bullets fly for a bit.
With Hundredfold Amplification…
That would become one hundred sword auras circling around him.
Automatically attacking enemies.
Lasting for one hundred minutes.
Wouldn’t that basically become Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect?
Jiang Chen checked the price.
30,000 gold coins.
Still affordable.
He immediately placed the order.
Purchase successful.
Jiang Chen continued browsing.
He still had one more skill slot before his second class advancement, so he had to choose carefully.
He already had attack power.
He already had speed.
What was he lacking?
Spirit power.
Using skills consumed spirit power.
Once spirit power ran out, skills could no longer be used.
Therefore, the most important thing was a spirit recovery skill book.
And once he had a spirit recovery skill, he would no longer need a priest.
After realizing this key point, Jiang Chen immediately searched for spirit recovery skills.
Soon, he found one.
A swordsman skill book.
Passive Skill: Meditation
Remain motionless for ten seconds to slowly recover spirit power.
Recovery Amount: 1 point.
For most people, it looked like garbage.
Stand still for ten seconds just to recover one point of spirit power?
Only one point?
That was practically useless.
And it required ten full seconds.
But with Hundredfold Amplification, things were different.
Remain motionless for 0.1 seconds and rapidly recover spirit power.
Recovery Amount: 1 point.
What was 0.1 seconds?
Practically instantaneous.
For everyone else, this passive skill book was trash.
For Jiang Chen, it was a treasure.
Price: 5,000 gold coins.
What a bargain.
Purchase successful.
Watching all this, Wang Gang was confused.
“Why are you buying that thing? A priest can restore your spirit power. This passive skill book is complete garbage.”
“You’re completely wasting a skill slot.”
“It’s useful to me.”
“Useful my ass. You have to stand still for ten seconds. What if a monster attacks you? Are you just going to stand there like an idiot?”
“Hehe… recovering spirit power for free. Think about how much money that’ll save on spirit potions.”
Wang Gang: ╮(╯﹏╰）╭
