Chapter 242: Chapter 160: Excellent Level Magic Blizzard
Of course, holding back didn’t mean doing nothing at all.
Quite the opposite—there were far too many things Lin Mo wanted to do, and could do!
He didn’t rush to attack. Instead, he found the injured among the Adventurers and cast a Healing Technique on each one.
The team originally only had one Priest, Feney. Although Feney was improving very quickly, she was still a Priest who hadn’t even reached Level 2. Her Magic Power and Spirit were extremely limited, and even after drinking a Magic Potion, she couldn’t possibly look after so many people.
When the Adventurers were injured, they had to rely mainly on Life Potions.
But the medicinal power of a Basic Life Potion was limited. Moreover, for more powerful Adventurers with more vigorous Qi and Blood, the effect of a Life Potion was somewhat diminished.
That was why many Adventurers were fighting while wounded.
Lin Mo’s Healing Technique, however, was far more effective than any Life Potion—and considerably better than Feney’s Healing Technique as well.
After all, he had the Magic Power of a Level 3 Mage.
As Lin Mo continued to cast his Healing Technique, the adventurers who had been too wounded to fight picked up their weapons once more. Those with lighter injuries, meanwhile, were almost completely healed.
They all shot Lin Mo grateful looks. They had no idea why a man dressed as a Warrior could use a Priest’s Healing Magic, but with the battle so urgent, there was no time to ponder it. They quickly threw themselves back into the fight.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo’s Skill Level for [Healing Technique] was shooting up.
[Healing Technique] Skill Level +1
[Healing Technique] Skill Level +1
...
In just a short while, he had gained twenty to thirty points of Skill Level.
Lin Mo checked; he only needed about twenty more Skill Level points to level it up.
’Alright, time to grind the Skill Level for my other Skills.’
With his Black Sword in hand, Lin Mo activated [Invisibility] and charged directly toward the Goblin Guards ahead.
’This is all precious Skill Level!’
He dashed in front of a Goblin Guard and thrust his sword forward.
[Continuous Thrust]!
’The Skill Level for this Skill has been stagnant for a while now.’
Lin Mo was only one Strength point away from becoming a Level 4 Warrior, so he wanted to train his Warrior Profession Skills to level up sooner.
’Every increase in Professional Level brings additional attribute boosts, so prioritizing the Skills of a Profession on the verge of leveling up is definitely the right choice.’
’The only problem is, my Warrior Profession doesn’t have any Skills that are close to granting attribute points right now. A bit awkward...’
’Hm? Wait a minute...’
An idea suddenly struck Lin Mo.
’Just because my Warrior Profession doesn’t have one, that doesn’t mean my other Professions don’t!’
’If I remember correctly, [Giant Shield Charge] is a Dual-Attribute Skill. When I got it to Full Level earlier, it gave me 1 point of Strength.’
’Its evolution, [Earth-Splitting Strike], only gave Constitution when I first got it, but [Giant Shield Charge] started out the same way. It wasn’t until it reached its middle and Full Levels that it started giving both attributes.’
’Does that mean [Earth-Splitting Strike] might be the same?’
As it happened, Lin Mo had been wanting to test out his newly acquired skill anyway. Without further hesitation, he used [Rock Shield Technique], and the Earth Element coalesced into a grayish-white Shield.
Lin Mo took the Shield in hand. He then eyed the most densely packed area of Goblin Guards, stomped his right foot hard against the ground, and launched himself high into the air—
BOOM—!
The next moment, Lin Mo came crashing down, shield-first. With a tremendous roar, the ground around him cracked and split. The Goblin Guards within the impact zone were sent flying, blood splattering everywhere.
But it wasn’t over. A shockwave erupted from the point of impact, rapidly expanding to engulf the surrounding enemies. Without a single exception, every Goblin Guard it touched was internally ruptured, dying as they vomited blood.
Some of the closer ones were even bisected at the waist by the force of the shockwave. For a moment, severed limbs flew through the air as blood rained down.
[Earth-Splitting Strike] Skill Level +8!
[Earth-Splitting Strike] Skill Level +9!
...
These Goblin Guards were all at least Professional Level. The slightly stronger individuals yielded a point or two more in Skill Level, and for a moment, a flood of notifications flashed before Lin Mo’s eyes.
All told, he had gained a total of 107 Skill Level points!
Skill [Earth-Splitting Strike] Lv1 (10/10) has leveled up!
Current Skill: [Earth-Splitting Strike] Lv2 (20/20)
Skill [Earth-Splitting Strike] Lv2 (20/20) has leveled up!
Current Skill: [Earth-Splitting Strike] Lv3 (40/40)
Skill [Earth-Splitting Strike] Lv3 (40/40) has leveled up!
Current Skill: [Earth-Splitting Strike] Lv4 (37/100)
A triple level-up!
In a single go, his newly acquired Skill had jumped from Level 1 to Level 4.
’Holy shit, I’m taking off!’
Even Lin Mo himself hadn’t expected it to be so effective; he was grinning from ear to ear.
Ever since he’d been transported to this world, this was the first time he had experienced such an exhilarating leveling speed.
Of course, this was partly because the Skill’s early levels required less experience. But it was also because the current situation was a golden opportunity. The Demons were numerous and powerful—it was like a training ground tailor-made for him.
Now that [Earth-Splitting Strike] had reached Level 4, it naturally granted him attribute points, just like his other Skills.
You have gained attribute points: Constitution +2, Strength +1!
Lin Mo’s eyes lit up.
’Just as I thought. [Earth-Splitting Strike], just like its pre-evolution [Giant Shield Charge], is a Dual-Attribute Skill.’
