Sword Saints Should Go Tank - Chapter 17

Because the specializations happened for two classes simultaneously, Lu Chen’s condition was critical.

If it were some other time and some other place, Lu Chen would most likely end up like three days ago. The system would start consuming his essence and if he was lucky, he would be turned into the raw-boned, skinny man again. If he wasn’t as lucky, he might even die.

Thankfully, Lu Chen learned his lesson and was more cautious this time. He chose to specialize in Wuzu’s room, giving Lu Chen a chance to pull through this predicament and live.

Or to be exact, one could say, he earned this chance himself.

Without any hesitation, Lu Chen pushed Jian, the second in rank, away from the cauldron and snatched Jian’s bowl of herbal soup away from Wuzu’s hands and downed it right away.

Then, Lu Chen who still felt the lack of energy lowered his head and without any regards over the high heat, he started drinking the herbal soup from the burning hot cauldron.

Lu Chen’s actions shocked everyone who was in the room, even Wuzu couldn’t help but felt anger filling his heart.

“Ah’Chen, what are you… Wait, this is…”

The enraged Wuzu was initially about to stop Lu Chen but he was quick to notice the oddness. Lu Chen’s skin was turning red in color, a phenomenon that would be seen when one’s blood was flowing quickly in the veins.

Even more, there was a mist of blood that started to fill the room.

This phenomenon quickly calmed Wuzu’s anger.

“Red skin, blood mist, these are the omens of breaking through to the level of Barbarian Blood Warrior. Ah’Chen is advancing into a Barbarian Blood Warrior. Good, very good!”

Robbing the others’ herbal soup without any valid reasons would naturally enrage Wuzu.

But Lu Chen was only doing it because he needed the herbal soup to replenish the consumed essences used during the advancement. Not only would Wuzu not be angry about it, he even hoped Lu Chen to drink more of it.

However, in contrast to Wuzu’s happiness, the young elites in the room were not feeling good about it.

“Even it’s an advancement, he didn’t need to drink that many.”

“That’s right. Even Xiao Shi didn’t had so much during his advancement.”

Seeing that the herbal soup was on the verge of being completely drained from teh cauldron, the young elites couldn’t hold back their tongues anymore.

To that, Wuzu laughed back at them.

“Silence. What do you all know? Those who have awakened their bloodline will have their advancement enhanced by the awakened bloodline in them. This makes them stronger than others, but at the same time, it comes with a greatly elevated energy cost during the advancement.”

After he said, Wuzu looked at Lu Chen like a kind and gentle old man.

“Drink however much you need, the more the better.”

With Wuzu defending him, Lu Chen drank the whole cauldron of herbal soup, even eating away the herbs and bones on the bottom of the cauldron.

Lu Chen finally felt his life coming back to him after he fully finished and digested the whole cauldron and feeling the warmth energy surging in his body.

However, he was feeling good, but the rest in the room didn’t feel the same. They discontentedly looked at the empty cauldron in front of Lu Chen.

Then, they fixated their eyes on Lu Chen while Lu Chen heaved a breath of relief for his life and raised his head.

It was when their eyes met that Lu Chen finally realized what he had done.

Honestly speaking, Lu Chen was feeling a little embarrassed about it, especially when he looked them in their eyes. But before Lu Chen made an apology, an incident unexpectedly occurred.

When the grudges in their eyes were picked up by Lu Chen, a wave of energy suddenly burst out from Lu Chen’s mind.

It’s as if a king’s majesty was provoked and an aura of overwhelming dominance suddenly swept across the room.

Lu Chen himself didn’t feel anything under the effects of the aura.

But the rest of them in the room felt as if they were being preyed upon by their natural predators. It was as if they were standing in front of an insurmountable mountain.

Everyone in the room felt Lu Chen’s body growing bigger and taller like a giant in their eyes, and an endless wave of might was emanating from his body.

At the same time, the hearts of the young elites took a strong hit under the effects of the aura. They felt their hearts beat slower and their vision blur. They even felt an inexplicable impulse to kneel before Lu Chen.

The strong ones like Wuzu and Jian were still able to withstand the pressure; they only felt uneasy in their hearts and their vision only slightly blurred. But the weaker ones who couldn’t take it fainted almost immediately.

Lu Chen was shocked to see what had happened. With the change in his mood, the dominating aura also subsided.

After the aura was retracted, Jian, who was still able to stand seconds before collapsing to the ground, panting heavily for breath. Clearly, even though he was able to withstand the pressure, his condition wasn’t good either.

However, Lu Chen didn’t have the time to pay any attention to him anymore. Immediately, Lu Chen looked at Wuzu and said quickly, “I’m sorry, Master Wuzu, it wasn’t intentional.”

The hurry to explain was because Lu Chen was afraid Wuzu would see him as an Evil and kill him.

Thankfully, Wuzu didn’t take any action. Instead, lights were flashing in his eyes when he looked at Lu Chen.

The satisfaction and gratification in his eyes pressured Lu Chen.

Eventually, Lu Chen switched the topic and said, “Master Wuzu, let’s help the others first.”

“Right, the young boys.”

The young elites had only fainted and were unscathed. Soon, Wuzu burned a herb that released a pungent smell that woke them up.

After the young elites regained consciousness, they all looked at Lu Chen with fear. They didn’t dare to look at him for long or even look him in the eyes.

Even Jian who was now already a Barbarian Blood Warrior was the same.

Lu Chen didn’t know what to say and only asked to excuse himself from the room.

However, before leaving, Wuzu held Lu Chen back a while again.

“Wait a moment, I remember you didn’t exercise your patrol day for the past few days, yes? The food in your house should be running out by now. I have some meat here, take it with you.”

Wuzu pointed his finger to a corner where there were a hundred kilograms of smoked wild boar meat, shocking Lu Chen.

“Master Wuzu, it’s too much and too valuable.”

“Compared to you, it is nothing. Be a good boy, take it. Don’t worry about it. If you want to repay me, then just continue to get stronger. Your strength is the best repayment for me.”

“Here, take it. If you need more, come find me anytime.”

Wuzu’s friendliness was clearly a result of Lu Chen’s outrageous talent.

With only his aura alone, Lu Chen was able to subdue the rest of the young elites. Wuzu had never seen a talent like this for many years. This incident had earned Lu Chen Wuzu’s recognition and he was seen as a savior to the village. This was why Lu Chen was given so many privileges.

Lu Chen pondered for a second and didn’t reject Wuzu’s offer anymore. Like mentioned before, Lu Chen wasn’t a pretentious man. Of course, that didn’t mean Lu Chen would only know how to take and not offer anything back.

The help Wuzu has given to me and Uncle Da Zhuang’s deer leg, I will repay them ten, no, a hundred fold in the future!

Then, Lu Chen returned home quickly with the huge chunk of smoked wild boar meat.
