Master Changsheng

Chapter 5 005: Thank you for the gift!

An Kai then emerged from behind the boulder.

He unleashed six fireballs in succession without breaking a sweat or turning red in the face.

All of this is thanks to his balanced attributes, which allow him to do things that other mages cannot!

Among the white body fragments scattered on the ground, there was a white crystal the size of a fingernail.

Ankai arrived at the spot, picked up the crystal, and silently uttered, "Exchange!"

[Skill Point +1.]

As the system notification appeared, Anla smiled slightly.

The white crystal is the core of the Thorn Worm, and like the magic stone, it can be exchanged for skill points.

However, not every thorn worm has a core; only thorn worms with mage talent will produce this core.

Ankai used his skill points.

Fireball skill proficiency +1.

Fireball Lv2『13/20』

"not bad…"

Standing still, An Kai let out a soft sigh of relief.

He opened his own panel...

【Level Lv1: 10/10 'Locked'】

Intelligence: 15 (Initial value: 1)

Endurance: 14 (Initial value: 1)

Stamina: 15 (Initial value: 1)

Strength: 14 (Initial value: 1)

[Talents: Immortality '∞', Mage's Body 'lv1']

【法术：冥想Lv2『20/20』、火球术Lv2『13/20』】

[Identity: Nobody.]

For the past year, An Kai has been allocating his time for secluded training at a roughly 1:1 ratio.

Half the time is spent practicing, and the other half is spent resting...

If he continued cultivating like this, An Kai felt he would go insane…

Even so, his four attributes still broke through to over 10 points.

It was also when his intelligence points first broke through to 11 that An Kai suddenly discovered that his skills could continue to level up!

At that moment, he immediately raised his meditation level to Lv2 with full experience.

The time it takes him to acquire attribute points has also been shortened from 7 days to 5 days.

He put the remaining skill points into Fireball.

The reason he was able to kill the Lv4 Thornworm despite only having a Fireball spell at Lv2 was his physical constitution.

His balanced attribute development makes him more durable than mages of the same attribute, and his spell power is also comparable.

Ankai didn't know how many attribute points other mages had per level, but he was quite satisfied with his current situation.

A promotion of one level per year is not unacceptable.

After all, his lifespan is unlimited, unlike others who live for a hundred to two hundred years.

He had enough time to meditate and improve his skills...

This experience of fighting against a much stronger opponent has filled An Kai with hope for the future.

So what if I can't level up?

One day, he will raise his attributes to a level that others cannot even imagine, and raise his skill level to the true maximum!

At that time, he will be fearless of any threat and peacefully enjoy his path to immortality...

Standing amidst the remains of the thorn insect, An Kai's heart surged with emotion...

There's always this urge to fast forward to ten thousand years in the future...

Unfortunately, this isn't a game; we can only move forward step by step, one step at a time...

Following the shadows of the Gobi Desert, Ankai carefully returned to his cave.

Inside the cave, only one piece of dried animal meat remained…

Hunting in this Gobi Desert is quite difficult.

Not to mention hunting animals that are edible.

However, An Kai remained calm and prepared to move.

In the desert, he also had a secret hideout, where the supplies were enough to sustain him for about two years.

The next day.

Ankai left the Gobi Desert and embarked on a journey to relocate to another secret hideout in the south, which required passing through an unnamed town.

I took the opportunity to return to the nameless town and see if anything had changed.

When Ankai arrived, he walked from night to day before reaching the Gobi Desert.

There were also five breaks during that period.

This time, Ankai only took about five hours to return to the nameless town.

One breath, without rest!

Such endurance would probably make even a warrior question whether Ankai is truly one of their own.

A year later, I returned to the nameless town.

Everything has changed.

At the entrance to the town, on the crooked tree where Hanks liked to lie, hung three unfortunate skeletons.

At first glance, the town was completely silent, with no signs of human life.

The town's streets are covered in dust and sand due to the lack of residents cleaning them.

An Kai focused his mind and walked to the entrance.

There were no footprints on the street.

This further confirmed his idea.

On both sides of the street, there were some scattered bones and tattered rags.

Some were nailed to the walls of the house, while others slumped in the corners of the house.

All of this tells Ankai that a war broke out in the nameless town after he left!

It seems that the nameless town has failed.

That's true; countless people have left the town since that night.

Even the former chairman, the number one expert in the nameless town, has left the nameless town.

These bodies had now become skeletons, and Ankai had no idea who they were.

With hands clasped together, softly chanting, "Amitabha Buddha, Infinite Heavenly Venerable, may the Lord bless you..."

He didn't know what these people's beliefs were, but if he told them all, surely he could guess one of them correctly...

"I wonder what changes have occurred in the Mage Association..."

An Kai muttered to himself and headed towards the Mage Association. He walked close to the houses on both sides of the street, and when he encountered any skeletons blocking his way, he would thoughtfully kick them aside...

When the former president mobilized the members, he said that the Dharma Masters Association would be temporarily closed, but some of the materials inside would not be taken away.

This includes some spell analysis materials, etc.

These are the things Ankai needs.

Of course, it would be even better if the Philosopher's Stone could survive, but he knew that was impossible...

After walking for about ten minutes, close to the walls of the town's houses, the three-story Mage Association came into view.

The two once priceless doors have vanished...

The entire Mage Association was open to the public, and looking further inside, one could still see a few scattered remains of corpses...

This scene sent a chill down An Kai's spine...

"Could it be that even the data is gone...?"

Undeterred, he joined the Mage Association.

The air was thick with the smell of decay, a world apart from the fresh fragrance of a year ago.

There's no need to look further into the first floor; the doors are gone, so what valuable items could possibly be there...?

The welfare distribution room that Widow Wang was in charge of was in a terrible state; not only was the door gone, but even the walls had been chipped away into ruins...

With a sigh, An Kai climbed the stairs, which were covered in ashes and sand, to the second floor…

The second floor is similar to the first floor.

Everywhere was a scene of desolation.

The room where the former president was in charge of probationary monks was given the same treatment as the room where Widow Wang received welfare benefits…

The site was fragmented and in ruins.

The same was true in other places; the smell of decay permeated the air.

After taking a quick look, An Kai continued up the stairs. Near the entrance to the third floor, there were three skeletons piled together.

It looked as if some kind of fight had taken place there.

Without a second thought, An Kai conjured a fireball in his hand and hurled it, blasting the three skeletons into a pile of black and white bone dust...

Stepping on the bone meal, An Kai entered the third floor.

This is also the former chairman's office and living room.

A year ago, he wasn't qualified to enter here.

There is only one room on the entire third floor.

There was also a layer of magical fluctuation on its surface, which should be a backup plan left by the old guild master.

Besides these, there were no other rooms in the main hall, but there were two or three skeletons...

Seeing this, An Kai finally smiled...

He first retreated to the stairs, and then two fireballs the size of heads appeared in his hands!

Without a second thought, they directly attacked the backup plan left by the old chairman...

Boom! Boom!

"Thank you for the gift, former president!"
