Chapter 573: Chapter 269: Level 7 Knight, Meeting an Acquaintance

Lin Mo jumped from the carriage but didn’t draw his Sword. Though this batch of Goblins was of slightly higher quality than the last, it wasn’t by much. To him, it made no difference.

These Low Level monsters were perfect for grinding Low Level Skills. So, Lin Mo once again used his Crystal Shield Skill to summon a Crystal Shield, then channeled his Qi and Blood and hurled the Shield forward.

Rotating Shield!

This Skill had already reached Level 4 during the previous Goblin encounter, so it was close to evolving. Naturally, it was now Lin Mo’s priority to improve it.

Lin Mo deliberately injected a little extra Magic Power, making the Crystal Shield Skill create an enormous shield. When he hurled the massive Shield, the Goblins—who had been acting arrogant and oblivious just moments before—panicked and turned to flee. However, they had no time to escape before the giant Shield slammed into their faces.

There was no suspense. The Goblins within the Skill’s range fell in rows, every one of them dying a gruesome death.

The Crystal Shield spun back, beginning another brutal harvest on a different path of Goblins.

[Rotating Shield] Skill Level +53!

’That much?’

Lin Mo was startled for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. It seemed there were some Goblin Guards mixed in with the Goblins. Goblin Guards started at Level One, and killing a single one granted 8 points of Skill Level.

’One more throw, and this Skill can evolve!’

Lin Mo extended his hand and smoothly caught the Shield, then immediately hurled it out again.

This time, he aimed for the few figures that were exceptionally tall.

Mutated Goblins.

These monsters, which had once pushed him into perilous situations when he first arrived, now seemed no different from Ordinary Goblins. In fact, their larger size only made them easier to kill.

Lin Mo was simply too fast. The Mutated Goblins had no time to react before the high-speed rotating Shield sliced their bodies apart.

[Rotating Shield] Skill Level +48

He’d killed exactly 6 Mutated Goblins. At 8 Skill Level points each, that was just enough for Rotating Shield to level up.

"Skill [Rotating Shield] Level 4 (100/100) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Rotating Shield] Level 5 (Max)"

"Obtained Basic Attribute Points: Constitution +2!"

"Has automatically evolved into the New Skill—Multiple Spin!"

"Skill Comprehension: [Multiple Spin]! Obtained Basic Attribute Points: Constitution +2!"

[Multiple Spin] Level 1 (0/10): Inject Qi and Blood into the Shield and hurl it. The Shield will then perform multiple spins (the number is based on the amount of Qi and Blood injected), dealing repeated damage to enemies upon Collision.

It was the upgraded version of Rotating Shield, and still a relatively simple Skill.

’Judging by the description, as long as I pump in enough Qi and Blood, it can just keep spinning and weaving through hordes of monsters. That’s pretty good. After all, it’s only an Excellent Level Skill, so I can’t ask for more.’

Lin Mo caught the returning Shield, immediately used his newly acquired Skill, and hurled the Shield out once more.

Lin Mo was now quite proficient in his use of Qi and Blood. He controlled the Shield, making it weave back and forth through the Goblins. It felt like he was controlling the Shield with his qi. It was indeed far more versatile than Rotating Shield, and the experience was even better than he had imagined.

Lin Mo even had a moment to spare to check his attribute panel.

Reaching Full Level with Rotating Shield and learning Multiple Spin had just given him a total of another 4 Basic Constitution Attribute Points.

His Physique Attribute had now reached 72, and his Knight Profession had also leveled up from Level 6 to Level 7.

"Promotion conditions met. Professional Knight (Level 6) promoted — Current Profession: Professional Knight (Level 7)."

"Received Professional Attribute Amplification: Strength +1, Constitution +4, Agility +1!"

This Attribute Amplification was better than nothing, but it wasn’t enough to make Lin Mo interested in checking his overall stats. He quickly turned his attention back to the battlefield.

This wave of Goblins was quite large, numbering over 300 in total. It could be considered a sizable force.

’They must have gathered all the nearby Goblins to fend off an outside invader.’

The number of Goblins was enough for Lin Mo to complete his quest, but they were lacking in high-end Combat Power. The quest he’d accepted required him to kill at least 10 Bronze Level Goblins, but in this group, he couldn’t see a single one, let alone ten.

This meant he would have to keep searching later, and might not even find enough in one go.

’What a pain...’

He had only accepted these two quests because they were on his way; Lin Mo didn’t want to waste too much time on them. If he was delayed for too long, he wouldn’t reach the Royal Capital by tomorrow evening.

Since the Goblins were swarming from all directions, Ali and Shefilya had also joined the fight. However, their speed at clearing out Goblins was clearly no match for Lin Mo’s. After all, neither Ali nor Shefilya had many skills suited for crowd control.

Ali was a little better off, but this was especially true for Shefilya. As an Assassin, her Skills were almost exclusively for single-target combat.

’However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.’

Lin Mo reached out, recalling his Shield. He stopped his wholesale slaughter of the Goblins. He planned to kill them more slowly, giving them a chance to call for reinforcements.

’Otherwise, if I kill them too efficiently, no more Goblins will show up for a while. Having to search for them myself would definitely be more of a hassle.’

So, Lin Mo began to practice his other Knight Professional Skills.
