Update Time: 2014-02-28
All the stone pillars in front of Lin Zheng were destroyed by the puppets, forcing him to take a detour before jumping to the center of the trial space.
Upon reaching the center, Lin Zheng opened the treasure chest and found only a badge and a skill book inside.
Sword Dancer Transfer Certificate: Proof of passing the Sword Dancer trial, quest item.
Moonwalk: A skill that only Sword Dancers can comprehend. After learning it, one can leap in the air by leveraging the air. The higher the Agility, the more times one can leap!
Moonwalk is considered one of the signature skills of a Sword Dancer. Leaping in mid-air looks incredibly cool!
This is also why the puppets were able to leap in the void just now. Like Aerial Kill, it also drops from a boss.
After working hard for so long to get this skill book, Lin Zheng felt it was quite worth it!
As soon as Lin Zheng picked up the items from the treasure chest, the countdown began. When the time was up, Lin Zheng was teleported out of the trial space, appearing before Wang Yan.
Wang Yan looked at Lin Zheng with a smile and said, "Congratulations on passing the trial, little brother. You are now a powerful Sword Dancer!"
"Swish—" Lin Zheng leveled up, and the system also broadcasted:
"Congratulations to player Yi Ping for reaching Level 50 and successfully completing his second class transfer to Sword Dancer. As the second player to successfully complete a second class transfer, Yi Ping receives a reward of Level +1 and the Golden-tier Sword Blade Chain!"
Upon hearing the system broadcast, all eyes in the Class Hall immediately fell on Lin Zheng.
Now, only he was in front of Wang Yan, so he must be the Sword Dancer!
"Wow! So strong! He's already completed his second class transfer, and I'm only level 23!"
"He's leveling up so fast! Oh, right, isn't he one of the two who activated the Dungeon System?"
"It's him. Did he clear it?! Otherwise, how could he level up so quickly!"
...
Lin Zheng didn't pay attention to the discussions of the surrounding players. Instead, he continued to converse with Wang Yan and learned three Sword Dancer skills from her: Aerial Dance, Blade Dance, and Dreamy Steps.
Aerial Dance: Level 1, Proficiency 0/2000, requires casting in the air, instantly kicks out Battle Qi to strike enemies, dealing 150% physical attack damage each time. The higher the Agility, the more attacks are made, increasing by 1 attack per 50 points. Consumes 200 mana, cooldown 30 seconds.
Blade Dance: Level 1, Proficiency 0/2000, uses legs as swords to launch a powerful slash at enemies, dealing 300% physical attack damage to the target and inflicting a Level 1 Injury status. Under this status, healing effectiveness is reduced by 10%. Consumes 300 mana, cooldown 120 seconds.
Dreamy Steps: Level 1, Proficiency 0/2000, Passive Skill, 5% chance to evade all damage, and then increases movement speed by 200% for the next 5 seconds.
Sword Dancers require high Agility. This class emphasizes speed, and Lin Zheng's stat distribution was a bit off, but fortunately, his equipment added a lot of Agility, so he wasn't completely ruined.
Lin Zheng knew that from now on, his equipment would have to prioritize Agility! Otherwise, the advantages of a Sword Dancer wouldn't be fully realized!
He still had two skill books in his bag, so Lin Zheng took them out and learned them all at once.
Moonwalk: Cannot be upgraded, requires casting in the air, leaps by leveraging the air. The higher the Agility, the more times one can leap, increasing by 1 leap per 30 points. The effect resets when the foot touches a solid object. Consumes 50 mana per leap.
Aerial Kill: Level 1, Proficiency 0/3000, requires a bow weapon, instantly kicks the opponent flying, and shoots a huge energy arrow at the airborne opponent. Kicking the target deals 350% physical attack damage. The energy arrow attack deals 3000% of the maximum magic attack as direct damage. Consumes 500 mana, cooldown 10 minutes.
After the second class transfer, attribute growth was adjusted, which is one of the main assets of high-level players!
During the first class transfer, the Swordfighter's Strength growth was 1 point equals 5.1 maximum physical attack and 2 minimum physical attack, and increased physical defense by 2 points.
Intelligence growth was the same as Strength growth, while Stamina was 1 point equals 55 HP, and Spirit was 1 point equals 150 mana.
After the second class transfer, Strength and Intelligence growth became 3 minimum attack and 5.3 maximum attack, defense increased by 2.5, Stamina became 60 HP, and Spirit 1 point increased mana by 200.
Therefore, the current Lin Zheng was much stronger than before his class transfer!
Yi Ping (Sword Dancer)
Level 52
Strength: 232
Intelligence: 11
Stamina: 165
Agility: 116
Spirit: 11
Physical Attack: 3156-4064
Magic Attack: 2138-2464
Physical Defense: 1680
Magic Defense: 708
HP: 9900
Mana: 2200
...
These were just the attributes with Celestial Star Shattering Moon equipped. If Soul Cutter were equipped, the attributes would increase by quite a bit!
It was getting late, so Lin Zheng, having learned his skills, went offline to find something to eat.
Stepping out of the game pod, Lin Zheng immediately felt a strong urge to pee and rushed to the bathroom.
When he walked out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed, he saw Yang Qi stumbling out of her room, still half-asleep.
After sleeping for over ten hours, she must have had enough sleep!
Lin Zheng really didn't want to tease her, but he couldn't resist the urge to do so to satisfy himself!
So, Lin Zheng patted Yang Qi on the shoulder and said, "Liu Mang, just now, I cleared the first dungeon that appeared in the game!"
"What?!" Yang Qi instantly woke up!
"Oh my god!" Lin Zheng immediately covered his nose. "You damn well go brush your teeth, you're stinking me out!" What if she's a beauty? If her lifestyle is irregular, she'll still have bad breath!
Yang Qi froze for a moment, then immediately rushed into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.
But when she came out, Lin Zheng was gone. She went into Lin Zheng's room but couldn't find him, so Yang Qi knew he had gone out to buy food.
At the same time, he was very clearly teasing Yang Qi, which made Yang Qi so angry she wanted to kill him!
Yang Qi sat in the living room, bored and irritated, waiting for nearly half an hour, when Lin Zheng finally returned with a large pile of food.
Yang Qi, who had originally intended to immediately question him, was instantly attracted by the food and helped him get bowls and chopsticks before digging in.
"Xiao Linzi! You should tell me what you were talking about just now, right?!" Yang Qi took a sip of cola and said, "Why did a dungeon suddenly appear? Such a big change shouldn't happen without notification! How long have I been offline?"
"What's so strange about that? It's obvious the Dungeon System has been there all along, but no one triggered a dungeon, so no one knew about it!"
"Makes sense!" Yang Qi nodded. "Tell me, how exactly did you trigger the Dungeon System?"
"This morning, like you, I went to Gray Dark Forest to level up and happened to meet Xiao Mo, so I leveled up with her!"
"Damn it! I'm asking you how you triggered the dungeon, not how you picked up girls!" Yang Qi yelled, then received Lin Zheng's disdainful look, and immediately obediently shut her mouth, listening to Lin Zheng recount his morning's experience!
"No way?!" Hearing that the Wizard Tower was in the Gray Dark Forest, Yang Qi instantly felt an urge to bang her head against the wall!
If she hadn't been too lazy to delve deeper into the forest to kill monsters, she would have been the first to activate the dungeon!
"It's useless even if you found it!" Lin Zheng said, "The bosses inside the Wizard Tower are one more abnormal than the last. You alone would definitely not be able to clear it!"
"That's not necessarily true. You cleared it, didn't you! I don't believe you can clear it and I can't!" Yang Qi was very unconvinced. Owning the Jiaotu Sword made Yang Qi full of confidence!
"Do you think I'm the only one who can clear it?" Lin Zheng rolled his eyes. "If Xiao Mo hadn't been there, I wouldn't have been able to clear it even if I ran out of time?!"
"That young lady?!" Yang Qi was very surprised. "Aren't you carrying her? Is she really strong?"
Yang Qi had always thought that Xiao Mo, as an archer with a full set of shop-bought gear, would be good if she wasn't a burden to Lin Zheng.
Now, hearing Lin Zheng's tone, it seemed that the young lady was unusually powerful! But was that possible?
"Don't underestimate Xiao Mo!" Lin Zheng said with a serious expression, "If she really PKs with you, you definitely won't last more than 10 seconds!"
"Holy crap!" Yang Qi was shocked and said with an incredulous expression, "You're not kidding, are you?! I'm not made of paper!"
"Xiao Mo's attack upper limit is probably around 2800, and each attack can also cause an additional 200 points of light attribute damage.
She also learned a skill called Fatal Pierce before, which has a chance to deal over 10% of the target's HP in one second!"
"That sounds pretty strong, but it's not enough to take me down in ten seconds, is it!"
Lin Zheng looked at Yang Qi, and seeing her disbelief, he said, "If she attacks you with those stats, 14 times in 0.5 seconds, can you withstand it?"
"14 attacks in 0.5 seconds!!!" Yang Qi froze. "Impossible! She's an archer, it takes almost 0.5 seconds just to draw the bow and shoot an arrow!"
"Who told you she uses a bow and arrow?!" Lin Zheng looked at Yang Qi with a playful expression. "You should know, she's the world-famous Rose Knight!"
"Stab!" Yang Qi suddenly understood. She had watched Xiao Mo's match videos; her stabbing speed was so fast that it amazed the whole world.
So, she instantly guessed Xiao Mo's attack method: it must be stabbing! Instant Chain Strike! Only then could Xiao Mo possibly achieve 14 attacks in 0.5 seconds!
"If that's truly the case, I really wouldn't last more than 10 seconds, unless I don't engage her head-on!" Yang Qi looked dejected.
She was known as the number one in Tianshuang City, and now she discovered she couldn't beat a "female Swordfighter."
What a blow to her confidence!
"Uh—we've strayed a bit too far!" Yang Qi, this fellow, recovered from setbacks incredibly quickly.
She was already energized and asked eagerly, "Tell me about the strategy for this dungeon. Since you cleared it, you must have a lot of insights!"
"Yes, I do. I kept the recording function on as soon as I entered the dungeon. Let's go to the computer and watch it after we eat!"
"Okay! A recording is even better!" Yang Qi looked excited, quickly devoured her lunch, and then scurried into Lin Zheng's room, finding the video Lin Zheng recorded from his game pod database.
