Master Changsheng

Chapter 67, Section 066: Promotion

An Kai never expected that he would be caught up in the drama.

That old bastard Donglin, I don't know what methods he used, to rise to the fifth rank, a level that can stand up to the city lord of Chaos City!

Looking back, that old bastard Donglin's cultivation level skyrocketed like a rocket ever since the civil war in the Principality of Bucklin began.

While improving his strength, he didn't forget to frame An Kai. An Kai couldn't understand why an old man would bother with him, a first-level mage.

What president? What town? It's always open to An Kai...

That's all nonsense; it's just Donglin's way of diverting the Chaos City Lord's hatred...

The more important he is in Donglin's eyes, the more intense the search for him will be in Chaos City...

Standing inside the cave, An Kai silently pondered, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to be wanted by all three major forces in the desert...

He was given a bounty by the orc army for attacking and killing an orc group.

Needless to say, the town of the dead is still there; that old codger Donglin has never stopped searching for him.

Now they're even throwing him out there to divert the hatred of Chaos City.

And Chaos City…

In addition to having a bounty placed on his real identity, An Kai also had a bounty placed on his disguised identity for assassinating people attending the auction at the Bounty Tower.

And he killed the Evergreen Gang's "Puppet Master" and "Astrologer," for whom a bounty was placed on his head...

"Ugh!"

"Can't we just live together peacefully?!"

Five months of secluded training.

An Kai believes that his aggression has diminished considerably during his seclusion.

Today, upon suddenly learning that he had been framed by that old bastard Donglin, he really wanted to twist the old man's head off.

I glanced inside the cave; there was still some animal meat left, enough to last about a year.

Thanks to the [Beast Meat Refining Platform], Ankai can now eat two meals every three days.

Without the [Beast Meat Refining Platform], the food he consumed over three days would have been worth about a dozen gold coins.

Now, with just two magic cores, the food problem can be solved for three days, which is still worthwhile for Ankai.

I had originally planned to come out of seclusion soon and take a trip to Chaos City to relax my mind during my seclusion.

It now appears that this plan will be cancelled.

Forced by circumstances, I can only continue this boring and tedious period of seclusion.

The only motivation is probably seeing myself getting stronger every day.

During his five-month seclusion, An Kai accumulated a total of 128 attribute points through meditation.

This also increased Ankai's stamina, physical strength, and power attributes to 175 points, with his intelligence reaching 176 points.

Two and a half months ago, Ankai's intelligence attribute increased to 131 points.

It was after that that Ankai's five magical shackles loosened.

Just as he had anticipated.

Currently, he needs to increase his attribute points by 30 points to allow his body to adapt to the new level of spell intensity.

After his intelligence level increased to 161, Ankai waved his hand and cast all five of his spells at their maximum!

[Skill Points -150]

Meditation Proficiency +30

Fireball skill proficiency +30

[Freeze skill proficiency +30]

[Summoning Proficiency +30]

[Ligue 1 proficiency +30]

...

【Meditation Lv13『190/190』】

Fireball Lv13『190/190』

【Freeze Spell Lv13『190/190』】

[Summon Lv13 『190/190』]

[Magic Armor Lv13『190/190』]

...

A series of system notifications appeared before An Kai's eyes, and he was in a very good mood.

It gives the feeling that the effort and the reward are proportional.

After [Meditation] is upgraded to [Lv13], Ankai can now gain an attribute point by meditating for 21 hours. With the [Meditation Staff] in hand, it only takes 20 hours to complete.

In addition to this significant improvement, the increase in [Meditation] level also enhanced Ankai's control over spells...

For example, the [Freeze] spell, which used to be an ordinary support spell, can now be perfectly manifested in 53 different states according to Ankai's will through [Meditation] and his own physical perseverance!

The upgraded [Freezing Technique] is twice as hard and strong as before!

The color deepened, almost turning black, which made An Kai exclaim, "This is so un-sunny!"

Even though the [Freeze] spell has been upgraded, the most powerful spell in Ankai's possession is still the [Fireball] spell!

Even though the [Freeze] spell is versatile, it is still not enough to compare with the simple and unadorned [Fireball] spell.

The [Lv13] level [Fireball] spell not only has a deeper color, changing from pale yellow to deep yellow, but its temperature has also increased significantly.

If they went all out, the beast meat wouldn't last more than 3 seconds under Ankai's [Fireball] spell before turning into ashes...

This change also applies to people...

The upgraded [Summon] spell also has some changes, but they are less noticeable compared to the previous three spells.

The [Lv13] [Summon] ability can summon the [Dead Tree Spirit: Lv13]...

The summoned creatures are still random and cannot be summoned according to Ankai's will.

The "Dead Tree Spirit" lives up to its name, standing only a little over two meters tall, and in a state of near-death.

An Kai realized after sensing it that this magical beast was primarily characterized by its powerful [Intelligence] attribute.

While it's said to be powerful, it's actually quite far behind Ankai.

By comparing his spell level with the spell level, Ankai estimated that his four attribute points should have reached the level of [Lv13].

Of course, there are bound to be some errors here. An Kai is not exaggerating when he says that he, a mage, can fight a whole group of Lv13 level creatures in melee combat.

In some ways, Ankai's [Summoning] buff is a negative effect.

It's all because of the [Dead Tree Spirit] monster...

can not eat.

Besides these four spells, Ankai felt that the newly acquired [Spell Armor] spell had a pretty good effect after the upgrade.

It's at least much stronger than the [Summon] which is also level-less.

The [Lv13] level [Magic Armor] has fully materialized both of Ankai's feet.

The intricate patterns are visible, but the difference in image quality compared to the standard definition images in other locations is still significant.

However, only the feet have materialized so far, and Ankai cannot discern the meaning behind the patterns...

The two and a half months before An Kai went into seclusion were considered one of his more efficient seclusions.

Rest time has been greatly reduced.

The [Beast Meat Refining Station] played a crucial role in this.

However, with a major upgrade in magic.

Seeing that it would take a long time for his four attributes to reach 190 points, Ankai's efficiency began to decline.

As of today, I have only gained a total of 60 attribute points.

This is still because the [Meditation] level has been upgraded.

If not for the upgrade, the attribute points would be greatly reduced.

Ankai's original plan was to take a break from his seclusion for a while to relax, and then continue his seclusion.

As a result of that old geezer Donglin's sudden actions, Ankai lost his desire to relax...

He currently has 701 skill points remaining, which he won't use up anytime soon.

There are still 93 magic cores in the storage ring.

Of those below [Lv11], only 6 remain.

The rest are all Lv13 level [Dead Tree Spirit] magic cores.

During this time, thanks to the presence of fearless oasis monsters, the area was constantly replenished with magic cores of level [Lv11] and below, which were quite suitable for use as a [Beast Meat Refining Table].

Otherwise, Ankai would have to use a [Lv13] level magic core, which would be a bit of a loss...

Lying on the ice-cured bed, Ankai casually opened his interface...

【Level Lv1: 10/10 'Locked'】

[Intelligence: 176 (144 + 32)]

Endurance: 175 (143 + 32)

[Stamina: 175『143+32』]

[Strength: 175 (143 + 32)]

[Talents: Immortality '∞', Mage's Body 'lv2']

【法术：冥想Lv13『190/190』、火球术Lv13『190/190』、冰冻术Lv13『190/190』、召唤Lv13『190/190』、法甲术Lv13『190/190』】

[Identity: Guide for the homeless.]

After some mental calculation, he realized that at his current efficiency, it would take at least two and a half months to raise his attributes to 191 points.

Thinking of this, An Kai cursed, "Damn it! Donglin!"

After finishing his tirade, he took out the Meditation Staff and continued his cultivation, while simultaneously pondering how to take revenge on the Town of the Dead or the City of Chaos…

...

The desert, the first gathering place of the orc army.

Today, the lazy beastmen are dressed neatly and full of energy.

They are welcoming nobles from the orc race!

—The Twenty-Eighth Prince!
