Chapter 459: Chapter 228: Advancing Again, New Skill: Meteor Sting

Lin Mo had chosen the most densely packed area of Goblins. The power of [Furious Jump Slash] was far greater than his previous Jump Slash, instantly killing over thirty Goblins on the spot.

[Furious Jump Slash] Proficiency +35!

’So satisfying!’

Lin Mo’s eyes lit up. ’Honestly, in terms of sheer power, this skill isn’t all that impressive. But its spectacular effect and decent kill-zone make it incredibly satisfying to use.’

’The feeling of leaping high, looking down from above, and then suddenly smashing down... It’s just so cathartic.’

"Skill [Furious Jump Slash] Lv1 (10/10) has been upgraded!"

...

"Current Skill: [Furious Jump Slash] Lv3 (5/40)"

"Gained Attribute Points: Strength +2!"

Those 35 proficiency points had taken [Furious Jump Slash] straight from Level 1 to Level 3.

And as an Excellent Level skill, Level 3 was when it granted attribute points.

With another two points added to his Strength Attribute, Lin Mo felt even more motivated. He shot to his feet, strode forward, and lashed out with a sweeping Whip Kick—

The force of the kick sliced through the air, sending several Goblins flying. Blood sprayed everywhere.

[Whip Kick] Proficiency +8

’Eight proficiency points. Almost perfect.’

"Skill [Whip Kick] Lv3 (40/40) has been upgraded!"

"Current Skill: [Whip Kick] Lv4 (1/100)"

"ROAR—!"

Losing thirty or forty of its minions at once, the Giant Goblin flew into a rage. It roared furiously and charged at Lin Mo, swinging its massive Wolf Fang Club.

But to Lin Mo, its movements were in slow motion. There was no way it could even touch the hem of his clothes.

Lin Mo was in no hurry to finish off the big brute. After effortlessly dodging its attack, he leaped high into the air again, aiming for another dense pack of Goblins.

[Furious Jump Slash]!

In less than half a second, Lin Mo slammed into the ground. A powerful wave of Qi and Blood erupted outwards, and the unlucky soul he landed squarely upon was instantly crushed into Goblin paste.

BOOM—! A shockwave followed, launching the surrounding Goblins into the air.

[Furious Jump Slash] Proficiency +112

’Holy shit! Jackpot!’

A wide grin spread across Lin Mo’s face.

This time, he hadn’t targeted the Ordinary Goblins, but the Goblin Guards.

These Goblin Guards—technically known as "Type II Goblins"—were each about as strong as an adult Mutated Goblin. In other words, every single one was a true Level 1 Demon that granted 8 proficiency points on death.

Lin Mo’s last Furious Jump Slash had wiped out 14 of them—nearly half the group.

That was why his proficiency gain had skyrocketed, hitting triple digits in one go.

Furious Jump Slash, which had just reached Level 3, was now at Level 4 in the blink of an eye, and not far from Level 5.

"Skill [Furious Jump Slash] Lv3 (40/40) has been upgraded!"

"Current Skill: [Furious Jump Slash] Lv4 (77/100)"

’The Forest of Serenity truly is a wonderful place.’

’And these Goblins, especially the packs of Goblin Guards... they’re my best buds!’

’My good buddies, how about you lend me a little more proficiency...?’

Lin Mo continued to toy with the Giant Goblin, dodging its attacks by a hair’s breadth. He gave it the illusion that it was just about to land a hit, making it chase after him relentlessly.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo set his sights on the larger Mutated Goblins.

’It’s time for my [Continuous Thrust] skill to evolve.’

His figure moved like a phantom, weaving through the horde of Goblins. With every thrust of his sword, another Mutated Goblin fell.

[Continuous Thrust] Proficiency +5

[Continuous Thrust] Proficiency +8

...

Some of the Mutated Goblins were still sub-adults, which was why they only gave 5 proficiency points.

It wasn’t a major issue, though. Lin Mo’s Skill Proficiency for Continuous Thrust was still rising at a stunning rate.

138/180

143/180

...

178/180

’Just one more!’

Lin Mo’s eyes narrowed. He lunged with his sword again, and the Frost Dragon Scale Sword sank into a Mutated Goblin’s chest with almost no resistance. Then, he yanked it out forcefully.

[Continuous Thrust] Proficiency +8

"Skill [Continuous Thrust] Lv5 (180/180) has been upgraded!"

"Current Skill: [Continuous Thrust] Lv6 (Max)"

"Gained Attribute Points: Strength +3!"

"Automatically evolved into New Skill: [Meteor Sting]!"

"Skill Comprehension: [Meteor Sting]! Gained Attribute Points: Strength +2, Agility +1!"

[Meteor Sting]: Gathers Qi and Blood to power the blade, then unleashes a thrust like a falling star.

Note: Can also be used with the index and middle fingers.

First, the Attributes. The 3 points from maxing [Continuous Thrust] plus the 2 points from learning the new skill added another 5 Strength and 1 Agility. Lin Mo’s Basic Strength Attribute was now at 78. He just needed to gain attributes from one more of his existing skills to be promoted again and become a Level 8 Warrior.

’And then there’s this new skill...’

’The description alone is a little confusing.’

’But as a Blue Excellent Level skill, it must have something special about it.’

Lin Mo immediately put his index and middle fingers together and circulated his Qi and Blood.

[Meteor Sting]!

In the next instant, a blast of Qi Force shot out, instantly piercing through several Goblins in its path. It continued on, boring a huge hole through every tree it touched, not stopping until it was fifty or sixty meters away.

Lin Mo looked down at his fingers.

’What incredible range. What a cool skill.’

’Even though using my fingers is undoubtedly weaker than using a sword, it looks so damn cool!’

Lin Mo was instantly hooked. He simply hung his sword at his waist and started alternating hands, firing off [Meteor Sting]s one after another. Each blast pierced clean through every Goblin in its path.
