Master Changsheng

Chapter 31: So weak

Will Buklin accepted a bounty quest to collect the skins of the Desert Crocodile.

Such missions are rare in the bounty tower.

He was overjoyed. Alone, he left Chaos City, preparing to head to the oasis to find his target, the Desert Crocodile…

however…

Backfired.

Will-Bucklin had only just left Chaos City when he ran headfirst into Richardson, a first-tier eighth-level mage—no, now a first-tier ninth-level mage!

He was also an important member of the Kaishan Gang.

Because the Kaishan Gang was absorbed by the Changqing Gang, he naturally became the Changqing Gang's genius mage.

When old friends meet again, there is no warm greeting or concern.

Instead, it was a water-based spell that Richardson used to severely injure Will Bucklin!

The reason Will-Bucklin didn't die while walking in the scorching desert was entirely due to his inner strength.

If it weren't for his desire to avenge his father, Will Bucklin would have perished in the desert long ago.

After Richardson took him on a bounty mission, Richardson led him to the oasis closest to Chaos City to do Will Bucklin's bounty mission.

"You bastard! Hurry up!"

Richardson wielded a long whip conjured by water magic and lashed it at Will Bucklin.

Will Bucklin, who had just stepped into the oasis and was walking ahead, let out a muffled groan from the blow, staggered a few steps, and continued forward…

"Do you want to live?"

This was Richardson's thirty-sixth time questioning Will Bucklin.

Unfortunately, his inquiry was met with silence once again.

Snapped!

An enraged Richardson lashed Will Bucklin with a long whip…

Perhaps unable to hold on any longer, Will Bucklin was knocked to the ground...

His eyes held only hatred, not fear.

"Tsk tsk, you're really having a tough time, kid!"

Just as Will Bucklin was awaiting his death, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

He turned his head with difficulty and saw a familiar figure emerging from the oasis…

"She survived..." Will-Bucklin whispered, looking in the direction Ankai had come from, before falling into a deep sleep in relief...

"It's you?" Richardson recognized Ankai, a mage from the Kaishan Gang.

Judging from his appearance, does he even know that bastard?

Just to be on the safe side, Richardson quickly pulled out the detector from his pocket…

[Tier 1, Level 1]

Richardson smiled.

With such weak strength, how dare they uphold justice in the desert?

He scoffed, "Do you want to die? You think you can meddle in my business?"

"Perfect timing! I haven't killed enough people today. Now that you're here, you won't be leaving!"

It's no exaggeration to say that a mage at the [Tier 1, Level 1] level can wipe out a group of people with the flick of his wrist!

Richardson raised his spell whip, this time with no intention of holding back, intending to kill Will Bucklin first, and then Ankai.

Richardson believed that if he were to cast a second spell to deal with such a weakling, it would be a sign of his lack of confidence in his own abilities.

Looking at Richardson's actions just now, An Kai knew that this was another person who relied on the detector.

With a thought, the freezing artifact appeared in his hand.

This time, it materialized into a sharp spear over two meters long!

While Richardson was still in a daze, Ankai suddenly swung his spear!

A sharp spear, over two meters long and formed from ice magic, shot towards Richardson with a "whoosh"!

"What the hell is this?!"

Richardson was stunned. What kind of sorcery was this? He had never seen anything like it before!

The spear, which was more than two meters long, was already in front of Richardson before he could even react!

puff!

It pierced through Richardson's arm, which was holding the whip, without any resistance...

Before the excruciating pain could strike, Richardson's eyes widened suddenly!

"Damn those detector swindlers!"

Richardson only had time to curse in his mind before a dense barrage of spears came hurtling towards him!

...

The sound of splattering continued...

Ten seconds later.

The spear that pierced Richardson's body, under Ankai's control, transformed into layers of ice, freezing Richardson, a first-tier, ninth-level water mage, within the thick ice.

"So weak!"

After his battle with Richardson, Ankai suddenly realized that his instant-cast spells were a game-changer when fighting mages.

He stepped forward and took the storage ring that had fallen to the side from Richardson's broken hand.

Later, when he reached the frozen Richardson ice, he kicked it, sending the ice flying into the lake 20 meters away.

After splashing up a huge spray of water, it slowly sank to the bottom of the lake...

Inside the storage ring, there were six low-grade water-type magic stones, two gold coins, and some spellbooks scattered haphazardly.

There was a staff, lying there quietly.

Ankai took it out…

Water Staff: Lv8

[Quality: Blank]

[Requirements: Intelligence 5, Level 8.]

[Note: This is a basic staff suitable for water-based mages.]

After just one glance, An Kai lost interest in it…

He put it into a one-cubic-meter storage ring, then took out the spellbooks and glanced at them; most of them were spells that were useless to him.

Because the requirements for learning spells all exceed Lv1…

Finally, take out the low-grade magic stone and exchange it for skill points.

[Skill Point +6]

Remembering that he still had a [Typhon Giant] magic core in his storage ring, Ankai took it out as well…

Silently repeat "Exchange!" in your mind.

[Skill Point +2]

"Two o'clock? Not bad."

After sorting through the spoils, Ankai went to the side of the unconscious Will Bucklin.

Quietly wait for Will Bookering to wake up on his own.

If he doesn't wake up, there's nothing he can do.

He only knows how to kill and save people... He's not a light-element mage or priest, so he doesn't know how to do that.

Similarly, if Will Bucklin doesn't wake up, Sally Bucklin will die too.

Because the way Ankai makes deals with the bounty hunters outside the city lies with Will Bucklin.

If he dies, the deal cannot be completed.

It's fair to say that Sally Buklin only has one last option left.

From dawn until dusk.

Ankai's patience was gradually wearing thin.

As darkness fell, Will Bucklin suddenly changed.

His seven-colored heart reappeared, emanating waves of energy.

Will Bucklin's injuries also slowly recovered under these fluctuations.

Her complexion gradually became rosy.

About ten minutes later.

The Seven-Colored Heart re-entered Will-Bucklin's body, and his eyes slowly opened...

The moment he opened his eyes, Will Bucklin's face lit up with a bright smile: "Sir, thank you for saving me again!"

"If you really want to thank me, do me a favor."

Will-Bucklin paused, wondering if he was already expected to repay someone so soon.

He nodded and continued to listen to Ankai's words.

"Go to the bounty post and bring their trader here. I have an important bounty to pay, but for some reason I can't enter the city."

"Sir, what is the value?"

Ankai paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Probably worth about the same as the fifth princess of the Principality of Bucklin..."

"Um?"

Thank you everyone for your votes!

Without further ado, I will definitely update more in a few days after I finish what I'm doing!

P.S.: The protagonist isn't just a naive fool who only knows how to kill; everything he does is for resources.
