Chapter 311: Taking Up a Job Class, the Undead Legion Attacks
【Holy Knight】?
So I really did figure it out—
Tang Zheng was startled for a moment, then an unexpected but pleasant surprise showed in his eyes.
He had only been trying his luck. The job classes of the several captains of the Holy Knight Order were not difficult to deduce.
What interested Tang Zheng were the Intermediate Job Class 【Holy Knight】 and 【Evil Exterminator】, though he wasn't sure if the latter was a Low or Intermediate-tier Class.
Apart from the latter job, which only Remedios possessed, the 【Holy Knight】 job was not rare; Deputy Commander Gustav before him also had it.
After a brief exchange.
Tang Zheng left on the pretext of needing to recover his magic power after just brewing some potions. He went to where the Evil Spirit Hounds were and leaned against Xiao Hei, pretending to rest.
In reality.
His attention was already on his stat panel.
“Acquire Job!”
Tang Zheng recited inwardly. He had wanted to acquire this job for a long time but never had the chance.
If it were a High-Tier Job Class, Tang Zheng wouldn't have acquired it right under everyone's noses. But for an ordinary Intermediate Job Class, the slight stat increase would be suppressed by the 【Ninja】 class and go unnoticed.
*Vmm—*
『Acquiring Job Class 【Holy Knight】, prerequisite Basic Job Class 【Paladin】 is required』
『Prerequisite Job Class already possessed. Job acquired successfully!』
Tang Zheng’s eyes lit up, a faint, sacred light flashing within them.

Looking at the information displayed for 【Holy Knight】.
"Two passives? That's one more than the 【Sword Saint】 and 【Shaman Master】 I acquired before."
Tang Zheng's expression was calm, yet he was still somewhat surprised. After reviewing all the information, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.
"As expected of a Paladin-type job class. The passive abilities and the direction of the stat increases are completely geared towards a tank build."
Among the job's abilities, besides the eye-catching passive "Power of Faith," the other abilities were all rather standard.
"With the level increase, the experience bar has also grown, going from the original 410,000 to 460,000."
"With two million experience points, I'll have to level up the job first before de-leveling to remove the 【Sword Saint】 job."
Tang Zheng thought, feeling a pang of reluctance.
Back when he raised 【Sword Saint】 to Level 10, it had triggered the High-Tier Job Class 【Magic Swordsman】.
Now, with the Basic Job Class 【Paladin】 combined with the Intermediate Job Class 【Holy Knight】, he should be able to trigger a High-Tier Job Class.
This was the normal method of job progression.
He hadn't dared to use it before, since he had no way to de-level.
"The traditional method of job progression is still easier to figure out." With a thought, Tang Zheng began to raise his level.
【Holy Knight Lv2】
【Experience Bar: 1,702,396 / 510,000】
↓
【Holy Knight Lv3】
【Experience Bar: 1,192,396 / 560,000】
↓
Comprehensive Level 51
【Holy Knight Lv4】
【Experience Bar: 562,396 / 630,000】
Skill Points: 72
"Oh?"
Tang Zheng noticed a change in his experience bar after reaching Level 50. The increase per level had changed from 50,000 to 70,000.
He continuously activated the 【Ninja】's passive, "Aura Concealment Mastery," to quickly suppress the aura fluctuations from his rapid level-up.
He looked up.
The sky had already completely darkened. The group had not lit any flames, allowing the moonlight to shine on the paladins' armor, giving off a cold, white gleam.
Seeing that no one had noticed the activity on his side, Tang Zheng's mind settled. "I didn't expect to be so lucky this time."
Acquiring a job by touching a weapon was one of the methods Tang Zheng had mastered!
However, Tang Zheng rarely used this method.
First, the job acquired by touching a weapon was not guaranteed; it was highly likely to be some basic job.
Second, this method was too troublesome, far less convenient and discreet than acquiring a job indirectly after obtaining a skill with skill points.
The only advantage was that it could save skill points.
Unfortunately.
The 【Genius】 job directly converted all basic jobs. Before he mastered the de-leveling technique, Tang Zheng wouldn't just casually take up an Intermediate-tier class, which was why he rarely used this method.
In reality, this wasn't the biggest problem.
The biggest difference between "Acquiring a Job by Touching a Weapon" and "Acquiring a Job with Skill Points" lay with High-Tier Job Classes!
Take 【Curse Knight】 for example.
"Acquiring a Job by Touching a Weapon" required possessing the prerequisite job. This wasn't a problem for Intermediate Job Classes, because the 【Genius】 job existed.
But it wouldn't work for a High-Tier Job Class, as he lacked the prerequisite Intermediate Job Class.
"Acquiring a Job with Skill Points" didn't have this problem.
Due to the special circumstances of this otherworld, it wasn't like a game. One could first learn a skill, then acquire the job through that skill, bypassing the need for a prerequisite job.
With no fire lit.
The area where the group was stationed was dim. Most Demi-humans could see normally in the dark, but Humans were far from having such an ability.
However, no one present was an ordinary person. Aided by the moonlight, they could still see things in their immediate vicinity.
“Black” Pabel, as the only archer who could maintain his vision at night, was specifically responsible for the night watch.
Tang Zheng, Gagaran, and “Red” Orland sat together on the ground, each holding a waterskin and eating somewhat hard bread.
"To not have encountered a single Undead yet is really strange."
“Red” Orland placed his horned helmet on his knee, took a large gulp of water from his waterskin, and spoke with confusion.
"On the contrary, that indicates something bad," Tang Zheng said softly.
"What do you mean?"
“Red” Orland's face, which looked like a rock weathered by years of wind and rain, showed a puzzled expression.
Gagaran's expression was stern.
"It means that the massive group of Undead are gathered together," Tang Zheng said unhurriedly after swallowing the bread in his mouth.
Just then, light, cheerful footsteps approached from behind.
