Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 142 [Professional Level]: 1
It is difficult to describe in words how Xia Nan feels at this moment.

To a certain extent, as the sword blade cut through the gravitational core, invisible ripples burst out and spread.

His consciousness then left reality and entered a kind of microscopic world.

Everything before my eyes, the green of the meadow, the gray of the clouds, the scarlet of the blood... were replaced by simple and original black and white.

Everything in sight was reduced to blurry outlines.

And the gravitational ripples that fill every corner like the air.

The entire world, the space where he was, seemed to have become a three-dimensional and abstract water surface at this moment.

Let all objects wrapped in the space create layers of fine ripples on the "water surface".

Xia Nan could not see the raindrops falling like a silver curtain in the air, and even the cold feeling of water droplets splashing on the surface of his body was weakened.

But he could clearly feel, from another perspective he had never seen before, the gravitational ripples that surrounded the raindrops and spread out in circles as they fell.

Fallen leaves, grass clippings, the slowly falling bodies of enemies... the ripples on the "water surface" collide and overlap with each other, turning into countless chaotic yet orderly, complex lines that contain a certain law, entangled and pulled.

At this moment, Xia Nan felt that he had seen the essence of the world.

If the progress we had made when trying to practice [Gravity Consolidation] according to Master Ye's notes was just a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.

At that moment, he was like climbing to the top of an iceberg, looking at the vast expanse of open ice below and the boundless, cold sky above his head.

Xia Nan tried to use his simple and shallow knowledge and skills to analyze and study the strange scenes he saw.

But after just a moment of thought, the massive amount of information that instantly flooded into his brain engulfed his consciousness.

If it happened to any other person in this world, such an experience would at most broaden their horizons and give them something to talk about when bragging in the tavern.

But Shanan is different.

Coming from the modern technological world and having studied for nearly twenty years, he naturally possesses a scientific perspective that is different from that of the natives of this world.

Although the specific principles are not clear and have never been studied in depth.

But the red apple in the textbook that fell on the man's head has always been imprinted deep in his memory along with his wonderful childhood life.

The revolution of planets, tides and gravity... Even if these basic knowledge have never been used in the many years of working career, they have already been deeply engraved in my mind through countless test questions and exhausted writings.

Plus some insignificant little experience when practicing [Gravity Solid Pressure].

He passively absorbed a small portion of the massive amount of information that washed through his brain.

And in another way, it remained in Xia Nan's body forever.

"Ding!"

"Perfect fit option detected."

"LOCKED!"

"Automatically employed..."

……

"boom."

Steaming scarlet blood gushed out from the wound continuously.

Under the impact of the gravitational waves generated by the collision between the sword and the silver iron ball, the corpse of the bear goblin with its head shattered slowly fell backwards, colliding with the ground with a heavy muffled sound.

In the air in front of him, there was still a faint distortion left after the strange hole in time and space disappeared.

With Xia Nan's body as the center, the ground with a radius of fifty feet was formed into a most standard circle and was ground into a bare flat ground by the bursting gravitational turbulence.

All that was left was the dark brown moist soil and the crushed plant stems.

The iron-gray beheading sword was deeply embedded in the ground, firmly supporting its wielder.

This sword came from a dusty corner of the blacksmith's shop and was considered a "failure" in the eyes of the forger.

The day before being sent to the furnace for re-refining as scrap, he met Xia Nan, who had just finished his first mission in this world and was in financial difficulty and urgently looking for a handy weapon.

Through the property panel, you can notice its specialness.

Buy it.

And has been with me till now.

The 50% durability bonus gives the name of this longsword on the attribute panel the prefix "sturdy".

Even if its owner used up all his strength and collided violently with the gravitational core that jumped out from the turbulence of space and time.

At a distance closer than the bear goblin, it bore the impact of the gravitational ripples head-on.

Still, when the coin of fate had not completely fallen to the ground, the sword was "luckily" kept intact.

It is foreseeable that it will accompany its black-haired user for the second, third... and more hundred days.

Xia Nan didn't have time to check whether his main weapon was damaged.

Even the enemy who had almost put him in a desperate situation, he only glanced at him from the corner of his eye, confirmed that he was completely dead and there was no possibility of resurrection, and then he no longer paid attention to him.

Streams of warm currents like hot springs were constantly washing and strengthening his body.

The body expands and contracts, but the overall appearance does not appear to have changed much.

But inside the body covered by the armor, the muscles became stronger, the bones became denser, even the heart beat seemed to become much stronger, and the blood was flowing in the body.

At this moment, if someone could get closer, enter the circular ground on the field that was flattened by gravity, and come nearby.

You will be surprised to find that the weight of your body gradually decreases as you get closer, as if you can jump into the sky with a light leap.

The rain continues.

The gray rain enveloped the entire world, and the air was filled with thick water vapor.

Xia Nan held the hilt of the sword with both hands and used the sword to support his body.

The wet black hair on the forehead swayed in the wind.

Gravel, mud, grass seeds, and even the rain that should have fallen on him.

But at this moment, it seemed as if it was isolated outside the skin by some invisible force.

Compared to the violent and heavy rain outside, it was in a very contrasting way.

It was suspended in the air, like a galaxy in the universe, revolving steadily and slowly with Xia Nan's body as the center.

In the dark eyes, after pausing for a few breaths, translucent characters continued to flash.

"Ding!"

"Successful induction!"

"Professional level acquired!"

"——【Meteor Blade Hunting】lv1"

"Strength +1"

"Agility +1"

"Perception +2"

"Expertise: [Tidal Shaping], [Heart-Guiding Vision] acquired!"

"Combat Skill: [Gravity Etching] loaded!"

……

The amplitude of his panting gradually lessened under the effect of the strengthening force rising in his body, and his dark eyes, which had seemed a little dazed by the impact of the ripples, also came back to their senses.

"Professional level '1'..."

“Am I a professional?”

Xia Nan murmured in his heart.

There was a look of deep disbelief on his rain-stained face.

I hadn't even seen the shadow of the third combat skill required for the professional level, and I practiced [Gravity Compression] just to give it a try and exercise my perception ability at the same time, without having much hope.

I had originally thought of saving more money, hiring a professional mentor in a related field, and then moving towards the direction of a "warrior" or "barbarian" based on the [Tooth Hunting] taught by the barbarian Fugan.

But he didn't expect that it was just an ordinary goblin extermination mission with the purpose of improving combat proficiency and making a little money.

But encountered so many twists and turns, and...

The gains far exceeded expectations.

Xia Nan's attention suddenly focused, and he stared at the reflection of the sword in his hand in the rain and grass clippings surrounding him.

Call out the properties panel:

……

Xia Nan's eyes swept across the attribute panel, especially lingering on the "attributes", "expertise" and "skills" columns.

Compared to when I first crossed over, there was a long string of "5" following the physical attributes.

Now his six-dimensional attributes have undoubtedly undergone earth-shaking changes.

The successful employment of [Meteor Blade Hunter] directly provides it with up to "4" attribute points, two specialties and one combat skill.

It was not until this moment that I felt my body become extremely light and full of strength.

Only then did Xia Nan truly understand why those low-level adventurers who talked loudly in the tavern always had expressions of envy and yearning on their faces whenever they discussed topics related to "professionals".

What flows in my heart is an incomparable sense of accomplishment.

But I haven't had time to savor it.
As my consciousness returned to reality, the screams and roars of the villagers in the surrounding villages also poured into my ears again from the cold air.

My thoughts suddenly came to a halt.

"laugh."

He pulled the beheading sword out of the muddy ground soaked by rain with great force, creating a few spots of mud.

The tiny objects that were originally surrounding the body like satellites also fell down one after another.

Once again, the cool touch of raindrops came across the surface of my skin.

He lowered his sight and glanced at the goblin lying on the ground in front of him, his head blown to pieces, completely dead.

Xia Nan turned around suddenly and ran towards the edge of the battlefield.

Adeline was seriously injured and her life or death was unknown, so he had to check on his captain.

As long as he is not dead, he still has an unopened bottle of healing potion in his pocket.

There shouldn't be any problem keeping your life hanging on.

It's lucky.

The three kerosene bombs thrown by Xia Nan were very effective against the bear goblins with thick hair on their bodies, and they did not pursue him under the burning flames.

His reminder also gave Adeline some time to react, and she quickly protected her two one-handed hammers in front of her.

Although he was hit head-on by the bear goblin's pale bone stick, he was not killed on the spot.

At this moment, he was lying on the ground in a rather miserable state, leaning against a charred remains of a wooden house.

She was gasping with a pale face, blood at the corner of her mouth, and one hand lightly placed on her broken chest armor.

At his feet were two severely damaged one-handed hammers with broken handles and twisted hammer faces.

It obviously needs a major overhaul or replacement.

He had just regained consciousness from a serious injury. Not to mention the battlefield in the distance, even Xia Nan who came over, Adeline had to lean against the wall and squinted for a long time before she recognized the other party.

"you……"

Her lips moved, and a weak and hoarse voice came out from between her lips stained red with blood.

But he just uttered one word.

Adeline's pale and bloodless face showed a very anxious expression.

"What about it? The bugbear?"

"Retreat, or..."

With many years of adventuring experience, she knew the character of creatures like the bugbears very well.

Normally he may seem lazy and indolent, rarely even leaving his lair, and only lets his goblin minions hunt and provide food.

But if you really identify your prey, or even engage in battle with it, it will be a fight to the death.

Now Xanan had returned alive from the battlefield, with no bear goblins chasing him, and it was obvious that the battle was over.

Considering the strange behavior of Red Mane facing the forest in the previous melee, it should be that he saw that he could not defeat the opponent in a short time, so...

"died."

Xia Nan frowned, reached for his waist bag with his left hand, and carefully looked at the other person's injuries.

"It's better to run away. Go to the village and help..."

"Dead...dead!?"

Adeline was talking to herself, but halfway through her sentence, she suddenly reacted, her expression paused, and she said in surprise.

Without replying, Xia Nan simply turned his body to the side so that the other party could see the burly corpse covered in blood on the battlefield in the distance.

At the same time, he took out a healing potion from his waist bag and handed it to the other party.

"Don't worry about that for now. How is your injury? Can you still hold on?"

A bottle of healing potion costs 50 gold, which is completely affordable for Xia Nan, who currently has a three-digit savings.

Although he seems to be a little sensitive about "gold coins" normally, if he uses them on teammates who are seriously injured and dying.

He saw no reason to hesitate.

What's more, with Adeline's personality, when she returns to the town, she will force the fifty gold coins into her pocket even if she refuses.

The crystal clear red liquid swayed and collided in the glass test tube, emitting a faint glow.

Adeline did not reach out to take it.

The pair of eyes that had regained their spirit stared at the corpse of the bear goblin in the distance, paused for a few seconds, and then returned to Xia Nan.

The expression on his face was the most wonderful that had never been seen since Xia Nan joined the team.
