Chapter 115: Blade of the Gale
Page 1 of 3
Just as he was examining Chain Lightning, the system notification sounded.
“Wind Blade has successfully mutated into Blade of Gale.”
Blade of Gale, Lv. 3: Harnesses the gale to transform into ten sharp blades that attack enemies. Has a 5% chance of tearing enemies apart and inflicting Laceration. Cooldown: 1 minute.
Wind Blade had mutated.
Its power had increased considerably.
Not only could it summon ten blades of wind at once, it had also gained the ability to tear enemies apart.
Compared with the original Wind Blade, its power had risen by quite a bit!
This Beast Tower truly was a paradise for honing skills!
It was only the first wave, yet it had already caused his skill level to increase.
If a few more waves came, would all his skills not be upgraded?
He was beginning to look forward to the monsters in the second wave.
Elsewhere.
Qiao Chao and the others had already encountered the second wave of beasts.
The second wave consisted of a group of Rock Giants standing five meters tall.
Their entire bodies were built from piled stones. Viewed from afar, they looked like a range of miniature mountains.
On each Rock Giant’s head were two tiny eyes resembling green beans.
They looked rather foolish and adorable.
Yet once they began to move, the situation changed.
Every step taken by the twenty Rock Giants caused the ground to tremble.
It was like a small-scale earthquake.
Qiao Chao’s heart sank as he stared at them.
His strength was formidable, and his axe was sharp.
He could cleave through ordinary beasts with ease.
But thick-skinned creatures like Rock Giants were precisely what he feared most.
Physical attacks struck their bodies as if merely scratching an itch, leaving no effect whatsoever.
On the other hand, Rock Giants had zero magical defense.
The best way to deal with them was to use magic.
He turned to Dou Wenle and the others. “Wang Mo and I will hold them off from the front.”
“Dong Yan, summon your elemental spirits to attack the Rock Giants.”
“Dou Wenle, focus on inflicting them with negative statuses.”
Dong Yan and Dou Wenle nodded in unison.
Dong Yan raised his staff and began chanting an incantation.
A moment later, a scarlet magic circle appeared before him.
Then, a spirit approximately half a meter tall materialized in the center of the circle, its entire body engulfed in flames.
This was his Flame Spirit.
He continued chanting with his staff in hand.

Before long, another ice-blue magic circle appeared.
An elemental spirit formed entirely from ice emerged beside him.
This was the Frost Spirit.
He then waved his staff again, summoning a Lightning Spirit resembling a thundercloud and a Water Spirit with the appearance of a woman.
The four elemental spirits immediately launched their attacks on the Rock Giants.
The Flame Spirit casually raised a hand.
Scorching flames surged toward the Rock Giants.
Within seconds, the stones covering one of the Rock Giants had been burned black.
As the flames dissipated, Qiao Chao charged over with his enormous axe and brought it crashing down!
Boom!
The chunk of rock shattered at the impact.
After repeating the process several times, they dispatched a Rock Giant with ease.
Seeing this, the numerous spectators nodded and praised them.
“Not bad. Qiao Chao clearly came prepared. By roasting the stones with flames and making the Rock Giant’s body brittle, they can deal with it easily.”
“Is that an Elemental Summoner? Summoning so many elemental spirits is like carrying a mage with every element at his side. That’s an excellent class.”
“The Rock Giants aren’t affecting them very much either.”
The crowd discussed the battle animatedly.
Shen Meng stared at the large screen, unconsciously tightening her grip.
“Qiao Chao’s team came prepared. Junior Xu Han is going to have a hard time this time.”
Beside her, a muscular man folded his arms across his chest and said with disdain, “Who can he blame but himself? He was arrogant enough to choose the second floor of the Beast Tower alone.”
“He truly overestimates himself.”
If Xu Han had been there, he would have recognized the muscular man at a glance.
He was the man who had accompanied Lei Hongguang that day.
Rock Tiger!
Although he usually stayed at Lei Hongguang’s side as a bodyguard, his own strength was not to be underestimated.
He had already reached Level 77.
A third-advancement expert.
Among all the third-year students, he could be considered quite powerful.
Shen Meng frowned. “Junior Xu Han is certainly not an arrogant person. I believe he must have a reason for doing this.”
Seeing that Shen Meng was still defending Xu Han, Rock Tiger’s expression darkened.
He stared at Xu Han’s figure on the smaller screen, his disgust growing even stronger.
He had already decided to find an opportunity to humiliate Xu Han properly.
He would make Shen Meng understand that the one thing Dragon Nation University never lacked was geniuses.
How many geniuses from every corner of the country had faded into obscurity after entering Dragon Nation University?
Only those who could stand out even at Dragon Nation University were true geniuses!
And he, Rock Tiger, was precisely such a genius.

At that moment.
The countdown on Xu Han’s side also reached its end.
A flash of white light swept across the area.
A large group of Rock Giants then appeared in the arena.
Upon seeing the towering Rock Giants with their astonishing defenses, Xu Han was not alarmed. Instead, he was delighted.
The Rock Giants, which might have been troublesome for others, were nothing more than a group of stationary targets in Xu Han’s eyes.
They moved sluggishly, taking one or two seconds just to complete a single step.
Before Xu Han, they were little different from turtles.
He inspected the Rock Giants’ attributes.
[Name: Rock Giant]
[Race: Elemental]
[Level: 21]
[Skill 1: Rocky Body, Lv. 2 (Passive Skill. The Rock Giant’s body is composed of stone, reducing physical damage by 50%.)]
[Skill 2: Trample, Lv. 1 (The Rock Giant stomps on the ground, creating a shock wave that attacks enemies and inflicts terrifying damage. Cooldown: 5 minutes.)]
[Skill 3: Heavy Punch, Lv. 2 (The Rock Giant raises its fist and attacks an enemy. Has a 10% chance of destroying all of the enemy’s defenses. Cooldown: 3 minutes.)]
[Skill 4: Earthsplit Wave, Lv. 1 (Uses earth elemental energy to form a shock wave that attacks enemies. Enemies struck by it will be stunned. Cooldown: 5 minutes.)]
Rocky Body was practically the nemesis of every physical class.
Unfortunately for the Rock Giants, Xu Han had more than just physical attacks.
As he watched the slow-moving Rock Giants, the corners of Xu Han’s lips lifted slightly.
They were perfect for testing his upgraded Chain Lightning and Blade of Gale.
He casually raised a hand.
Ten blades of gale shimmering with deep blue-green light appeared beside him.
Xu Han could clearly sense that the Blade of Gale was far more powerful than the previous Wind Blade.
Its light was deeper as well, containing a much stronger force of wind elemental energy.
If the former Wind Blade had been a dagger, then the current Blade of Gale had become a heavy cleaver!
With a gentle sweep of his palm, the blades of gale shot toward the Rock Giants with an ear-piercing howl as they tore through the air.
Clang, clang, clang—
The blades swept past, instantly leaving several wounds across the bodies of the Rock Giants.
The longest one stretched for dozens of centimeters.
Looking closely, one could see a faint blue-green film of light covering the wounds on the Rock Giants’ bodies.
The films continuously eroded inward.
This was the Laceration inflicted by wind elemental energy!
