#232 - Chapter 232 This injury... is very wrong!
This strike clearly demonstrated the difference in combat skills between the two.
Facing this level of elite monster, Jiang Han naturally wouldn't be hit, even if he was only level one.
[-13]
However, the damage that appeared was a bit of a pain.
Even with a weak point hit, it barely broke double digits.
As for the goblin's actual health, Jiang Han estimated it had to be several hundred.
"It's a familiar setup."
Jiang Han sighed.
Fighting the strong with the weak, he hadn't really experienced much of that in this life; most of the time, he relied on Little Grey and Little Luo to sweep through everything.
For a moment, he felt a bit dazed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
But while reminiscing, he didn't forget to attack, his movements flowing smoothly and with great aesthetic appeal.
Long-dormant combat experience resurfaced in his mind.
The goblin warrior couldn't touch him once from beginning to end, completely played around.
[-9]
[-12]
Damage numbers appeared one after another, and the goblin warrior's health bar slowly decreased.
"He's got some skills."
At this moment, Qilin was staring at the scene before him, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
As Jiang Han had guessed, this Holy Spirit Arena was a correction field, adjusting all entrants' attributes and skills to their initial state.
In other words, whoever participated in this trial would exert the same amount of power.
And in past years, there had been quite a few participants.
However, Qilin had never seen anyone as calm and composed as Jiang Han.
"This human is somewhat interesting."
...
Time passed.
Chila!
The shield blocked the impact of the spiked club. Jiang Han lowered his body slightly, and the long sword in his hand cut through the air, piercing the goblin warrior's chest.
The latter let out an unwilling wail before falling heavily to the ground, its life rapidly fading.
Finally, with a "bang," it turned into starlight and disappeared into the air.
[Congratulations, you have completed the first arena battle.]
[You have gained 100 freely distributable attribute points.]
Immediately afterward, another virtual panel appeared.
Jiang Han didn't hesitate, directly allocating seventy points to agility and the remaining thirty to attack.
If others saw this allocation, they would probably laugh for three days and three nights.
Because the most important attribute for a knight was undoubtedly constitution, and even if not allocated to constitution, the next best choice would be strength.
As for agility?
That was suited for assassin-type classes that emphasized high burst damage.
Jiang Han naturally understood this.
However, he was even more aware that if even the first monster was so difficult to deal with, then the subsequent challenges might involve facing BOSS-level existences alone.
And in his current garbage state, without items or good equipment, adding constitution would only allow him to withstand a couple more hits, adding some fault tolerance.
But wanting to defeat a BOSS by relying on this little bit of fault tolerance was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Instead of that, it would be better to add more agility and try to dodge the skills.
Faced with extreme danger, only walking a tightrope offered a chance of success.
Awoo!
After allocating the attributes, another beast roar sounded.
A snow-white giant wolf rushed out of the cage.
[Savage Snow Wolf (Mutated) | Level 5]
"Another familiar face."
Jiang Han's heart tightened slightly, because the one appearing before him was clearly the first BOSS he encountered during his first advancement trial.
However, its grade had changed, dropping from Demonized to Mutated, and its level remained at 5.
Overall, its strength was greatly reduced.
But that was in relation to the previous situation, after all, Little Grey was there at the time; not to mention a mere Demonized grade, even a higher grade would be useless.
And now, Jiang Han's entire body was only equipped with a beginner's shield and a pair of torn pants.
The difficulty had skyrocketed.
"Awoo!"
The Savage Snow Wolf didn't waste time, roaring and charging up as soon as it saw him, living up to its name.
Its speed was much faster than before.
Fortunately, Jiang Han's agility had also increased by more than one level. He tapped his feet lightly, and with a turn, he dodged the Savage Snow Wolf's pounce.
He retaliated with a sword strike.
[-36]
Unsurprisingly, this thing was tough, and the damage dealt was limited.
However, Jiang Han had long prepared for a war of attrition. He immediately retreated after a successful hit, not being greedy for more.
Bang!
Sure enough, just as he moved away, the Savage Snow Wolf slammed its claw down heavily.
Without a doubt, if he was hit by this attack, Jiang Han would lose half his life even if he didn't die.
But the premise was...
If it could hit him.
Bang! Bang!
Taking advantage of the Savage Snow Wolf's pause in retracting its claw, Jiang Han countered with a shield bash, slamming the shield into the Savage Snow Wolf's back, followed by another sword thrust.
Failing to land a hit and instead being hit with a smooth combo, the Savage Snow Wolf was enraged, roaring and wanting to tear the human before it to shreds.
However, Jiang Han naturally wouldn't give it a chance.
His figure was as agile as a cheetah, light when it needed to be light, heavy when it needed to be heavy, advancing and retreating freely.
The entire battle process was as smooth as eating Dove chocolate.
"Indeed, somewhat interesting."
Outside, Qilin stared at the battle scene and couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
It could naturally see that this human, who dared to risk his life to walk the path of the Holy Spirit, had combat that looked simple, but without a single superfluous movement, and his control of distance was simply superb.
Seemingly always just a hair's breadth away, the Savage Snow Wolf was actually being played.
His combat skills had absolutely reached the pinnacle.
In human terms, it was a grandmaster's style.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As Jiang Han fluttered like a butterfly, thrusting his long sword countless times, the Savage Snow Wolf finally couldn't hold on any longer and went to see its great-grandmother, just like the previous goblin warrior.
[Congratulations, you have completed the second arena battle.]
[You have gained 200 freely distributable attribute points.]
Similarly, after the Savage Snow Wolf died, another notification sounded.
Still the classic allocation, with agility taking the lion's share, but Jiang Han still allocated 20 points to constitution.
After all, if the monster grade continued to increase, there would inevitably be group attack skills.
Three hundred health points would at least be able to withstand the damage from group attacks, preventing instant death.
The third monster appeared.
[Abyssal Tiger (Demonized) | Level 5]
And this time, the strength was even more terrifying than before.
Demonized grade!
Rumble!
In the next moment, the Abyssal Tiger roared to the sky, and waves of dark light spread around.
"WTF?"
Jiang Han was shocked.
This was not playing fair!
It used a group attack skill right from the start!
Whoosh!
He tapped his feet and retreated violently.
However, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be faster than a group attack skill, and he was still affected.
Bang!
A dark light slammed into Jiang Han.
[-125]
"Huh?"
Then, Jiang Han realized something was wrong.
Something was wrong, very wrong!
The damage was high.
But the problem was...
Why was it shield damage?!!
