Chapter 271: First Class Respec Completed, Tenth-Tier Magic: Heating
So far, it seemed the levels of both the Sun Anglerfish's blood and the Fire Dragon's blood were too high. Tang Zheng had been unable to make them into potions as he could with troll blood. Until he had thoroughly researched the dragon blood, he would let the few Frost Dragons living in the depths of the Angelicisia Mountain Range live for now.
The Sun Anglerfish's blood was far inferior to the Fire Dragon's, though their enhancement effects were similar. This had already been verified on the evil spirit hounds. However, the Fire Dragon's blood contained a curse, while the Sun Anglerfish's blood contained a certain toxin.
Until Nfirea Bale developed a better method, Tang Zheng didn't plan on giving it to Imina and Leinas.
"A reminder: this contains a certain toxin, but it should be a small problem for you." Tang Zheng looked at the Demon Snake Naga and waved his hand. "First, summon 1,000 goblins here."
The Demon Snake Naga withdrew its gaze from the crimson potion bottle, subconsciously nodded respectfully, and quickly departed. Before long, 1,000 goblins were brought over.
"Waa waa!"
"Waa, ya!"
"Ah waa!"
"..."
The moment the thousand goblins appeared, they erupted into a chaotic clamor.
Looking at this green-skinned crowd, he first needed to verify how much experience 1,000 goblins would grant him. Killing so many goblins one by one would be too troublesome.
Tang Zheng only had two true area-of-effect spells. One was "Sand Domain," which had a limited range and wasn't worth using on goblins. The other was the skill "Blazing Sound Wave" from "Body Armament," a wide-range attack spell. This skill had a massive area of effect and would cause severe collateral damage.
Given the goblins' low strength, they would be instantly turned to ash if hit by such an attack. Tang Zheng, however, planned to preserve their corpses to use as food for the next wave of goblins.
"Magic Arrow!"
After a moment of thought, Tang Zheng began chanting in a low voice.
Bzz— Bzzzz—
Ten magic arrows lined up in a row, materializing before him.
Snap!
With the sound of a finger snap, the non-elemental magic arrows transformed into wind-attribute arrows, a sharp edge appearing on their surfaces.
"This feeling of perfect control... my ability to manipulate magic feels even stronger. Is it because of [Magic Transcender]?"
Tang Zheng raised a finger and pointed toward the goblins. All the magic arrows shot out, their speed multiplied several times under the enhancement of the wind element.
In an instant, the ten arrows pierced through a row of goblins. Then, under his control, they returned. All within just a few breaths, the thousand goblins were pierced and killed by the magic arrows; none could resist the assault.
[Gained 21 Experience]
[............]
[Gained 19 Experience]
[Experience Bar: 368923/410000]
Tang Zheng looked at the change in his experience on the panel. Excluding the experience gained from killing blue maggots and other races in the Hills Region, killing these goblins had earned him a total of about 20,000 experience points. On average, each goblin provided around 20 points.
"Not bad."
Tang Zheng nodded in satisfaction. He then ordered the bewildered Demon Snake Naga, who had been waiting on the side, to have the trolls and other monsters pile up the goblin corpses.
To store the goblin corpses, Tang Zheng had specifically learned the second-tier "Preservation" spell. It could preserve items for up to a year, similar to how it worked on potions that would otherwise degrade.
[Skill Points: 63 → 62]
Some nobles and caravans would even specifically hire spellcasters who had mastered this magic to preserve valuable food.
After casting the spell several times, all the goblin corpses were transported to the cave where Troll Gu used to live for storage.
With his current passive enhancements, casting any first, second, or third-tier magic only cost a single point of magic power.
Next, Tang Zheng began increasing the number of goblins. His experience quickly met the requirement to gain a level, and he even deliberately stopped at the exact threshold for leveling up.
[Experience Bar: 410077/410000]
"Increase Ninja job level," Tang Zheng commanded.
[Comprehensive Level: 47 → 48Lv]
[Ninja 1 → 2Lv]
[Experience Bar: 77/460000]
He looked at the stats on the panel.
Tang Zheng looked back at the numerous goblins and continued to use the first-tier "Magic Arrow." This time, however, he wasn't casting with magic power, but using "experience casting."
[Comprehensive Level: 48 → 47Lv]
[Shaman Master 1Lv → 0]
[Experience Bar: 1/410000]
He continued this process.
[Comprehensive Level: 47Lv]
[Ninja 2→3→4→5Lv]
[Sword Saint: 10→9→8→7LV]
[Skill Points: 74]
Repeating this four times, he completed the class respec by consuming only 1.64 million experience points.
While his comprehensive level remained unchanged, his [Ninja] job reached max level, [Sword Saint] dropped to level 7, and the [Shaman Master] job disappeared completely.
During this process, Tang Zheng paid close attention to his [Magic Swordsman] class. Seeing that the level drop in his Sword Saint job didn't affect it, he finally set his mind at ease.
Soon, 100,000 goblins were completely slaughtered, their corpses filling the entire cave. The excess had to be buried in pits for preservation.
[Experience Bar: 351023/410000]
Of the roughly two million total experience points, only 350,000 remained.
"I'm back to a state where I have no jobs left to level up."
Tang Zheng looked at the jobs on his attribute sheet, sighing again amidst his excitement.
His level 7 Sword Saint job still needed to be respec'd, but he had no other jobs he could level up.
"Fluder's [Immortal] job class, the Elf King's [Elementalist (Earth)]... both are high-tier job classes, but I have no leads on any others."
Tang Zheng pondered, "The Elf King's power is immense, and I'm not completely confident right now. There's no rush to acquire those two jobs."
"My original theory for the special job class [Catastrophe Apostle] couldn't be implemented because I had too little information and it required an intermediate-tier job class as a prerequisite. But now that I can perform a class respec, I can continue to work on that theory."
"Uh... why are they all spellcasting-type classes?"
Tang Zheng snapped out of it and shook his head lightly, then looked toward the slightly trembling Demon Snake Naga.
"I've deliberately left 1,000 goblins. With their powerful reproductive ability, you should be able to raise them back to the current numbers by around May, right?"
"Y-Yes, my Lord."
The Demon Snake Naga hurriedly lowered its head and replied, fear showing in its eyes.
It had always been puzzled and curious as to why this human was breeding goblins. It had made all sorts of guesses but never imagined the reason was simply for slaughter.
