[System Message: Host used 400 Mastery Points and leveled Barbarian Blood Warrior to Level 4.]

[System Message: Barbarian Blood Warrior class leveled up to Level 4. Strength +1,Constitution +1]

[System Message: Under the influence of Barbarian King’s Bloodline, leveling Barbarian Blood Warrior has given: Constitution +1, Vigor +1.]

He didn’t care about the level up and continued.

Continue level up for Barbarian Blood Warrior.

[System Message: Host used 500 Mastery Points and leveled Barbarian Blood Warrior to Level 5.]

[System Message: Barbarian Blood Warrior class leveled up to Level 5. Strength +1, Agility +1]

[System Message: Under the influence of Barbarian King’s Bloodline, leveling Barbarian Blood Warrior has given: Constitution +1, Vigor +1.]

Oh? Barbarian Blood Warrior also awards Agility?

Lu Chen was surprised for a while, but he quickly recalled that leveling up Swordsman also awards him with Strength before.

Hence, Lu Chen understood that Strength, Agility, and Constitution were complementing attributes. It was just that the Barbarian Blood Warrior focused more on Strength and Constitution and the Swordsman focused more on Agility.

Although their focuses were different, they would eventually still increase all attributes as they level up.

He only thought for a while and stopped quickly. Right now, the system messages were popping up in his ears one after another.

[System Message: Host has reached Level 5 and is awarded a chance to draw a skill.]

[Drawing skill now… Skill drawn—Sweeping Blade. Do you wish to learn it?]

Sweeping Blade, I never expect I’d get this skill.

In the game League of Legends, there was a champion nicknamed by the players as the Happy Wind Guy. No matter how well he does in the game, the player was always a very happy guy, and that was because of the Sweeping Blade.

If Lu Chen recalls correctly, it was a displacement ability. One could lock in on a target and swiftly move toward it. Hence, the ability also has another nickname known as “Never turn back”.

As they say, it charges you forward out but you’d never return, I never thought I’d get it.

Then, he shook his head and commanded,

System, reroll.

Frankly speaking, it was a good skill especially with its displacement ability that would allow him to swiftly move into his target. The more targets he has on the battlefield, the easier he would be able to move around.

Sadly, Lu Chen’s main enemies were the Evils. Hence, the skill he was looking for was something that could harm the Evils.

What a shame, I might’ve learned it if I’m not lacking the skill to deal with the evils. After all, it’s a good displacement skill.

Just as Lu Chen was shaking his head and lamenting, the system message rang again.

[System Message: 5 Spirit Orbs were consumed for a reroll. Host has drawn the skill—Broken Wings.]

The Q-ability of the champion Riven in League of Legends. Shame, it’s still not the skill I want. Reroll.

[System Message: 5 Spirit Orbs were consumed for a reroll. Host has drawn the skill—The Darkin Blade.]

Aatrox’s ability, but I want his ultimate. Reroll.

Before this, Lu Chen has sacrificed the broken bowl for 20 Spirit Orbs, in addition to the initial 5 Spirit Orbs he has, Lu Chen has 5 chances to reroll. Hence, he was determined to get a skill that could make him hurt the Evils.

In order to increase my prowess, I will have to go out to hunt at night. One day, my Vigor alone will eventually be not enough in the battles. I need to have a skill that I can hurt the Evils.

As he thought, Lu Chen grew more determined to keep on rerolling until he gets the skill he wants.

[System Message: 5 Spirit Orbs were consumed for a reroll. Host has drawn the skill—Drive Slash.]

Another displacement skill from Dungeon Fighter Online. System, reroll again.

Lu Chen wasn’t going to stop until he gets it.

[System Message: 5 Spirit Orbs were consumed for a reroll. Host has drawn the skill—Leap.]

Reroll

[System Message: 5 Spirit Orbs were consumed for a reroll. Host has drawn the skill—Ghost Hand (Black).]

Continue… Wait, it’s Ghost Hand from Dungeon Fighter Online. I got it?

Lu Chen turned serious when he looked at the skill.

Dungeon Fighter Online was a hit game back in the world Lu Chen came from. In that world, Ghost Hand was a term equivalent to the Slayers.

Should I settle down with this skill?

It was rare to see Lu Chen in deep thoughts

Looking at the skill, Lu Chen actually fell into thinking, which was very rare.

But as long as one fully understood the ability of Ghost Hand, one would know that Lu Chen’s prudence was necessary.

Ghost Hand was a cursed hand, possessed and contaminated by the powers of the Ghost Demons.

After hesitating for a while, he looked at the only 5 Spirit Orbs he had left, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and chose to accept the skill.

There are not many Spirit Orbs left. If I don’t make a choice this time, I probably won’t get another skill that can harm the Evils in the next reroll. Therefore, I have to choose it.

Furthermore, it was the Slayers in Arad that were being affected by the Ghost Demons. I am now in another world. The Ghost Demons of Arad will probably not be able to affect me here.

And even if they can, I can also be like the Blade Masters or Asuras, I just have to refrain myself from using the power of the Ghost Hand in the future.

Although Ghost Hand was synonymous with Slayer, in Dungeon Fighter Online, there were four completely different paths for the Slayers to choose. Two of which were completely unrelated to the Ghost Hands.

Blade Master: They were Slayers who work entirely on the use of good weapons and hone their personal skills. Their future growth path has nothing to do with Ghost Hands.

Asura: Not only did these Slayers gave up in their Ghost Hands, but they have also chosen to abandon their own eyes in order to sense and awaken the power of waves. Their future growth path also has nothing to with Ghost Hands.

Berserker: They were Slayers who were infected by the Kazan Syndrome. They would lose control of themselves when in a frenzy, but in turn, their speed and destructive power might become the strongest among all.

Other than Berserker that was affected by it, the other two professions have nothing to do with Ghost Hands.

Of course, in Arad, there was another special Slayer profession that learned to better manipulate the dark energies and eventually force the Ghost Demons into taking their orders.

In the final form of their future growth, the Soul Benders would turn into Dark Lords.

If I can manipulate the Ghost Hand, I can even become a Dark Lord and have the ability to command the Ghost Demons. Even if I failed, I can still choose to seal my Ghost Hand and become a Blade Master or Asura. I can definitely choose it.

As he thought, Lu Chen has made up his mind.

System, lock in Ghost Hand.

After he made the decision, Lu Chen’s fear gradually reduced and his heart was again filled with ambition.

Ghost Hand is indeed terrifying, but my sources of skills are not limited to just Arad. There are other skills from the other worlds that can definitely suppress the Ghost Hand. As long as I can continue to improve my prowess, I can definitely wield Ghost Hand.

The existence of the system made Lu Chen firmly believe that as long as he continues to level up and grow stronger, he would have nothing to be afraid of. That said, Lu Chen first has to become stronger.

Right now, Lu Chen was too weak and the world was too dangerous. Hence, Lu Chen has chosen Ghost Hand in the end.

After Lu Chen made the call, the black Ghost Hand suddenly shattered in the system page. Then, a large amount of black air emerged from the system page and penetrated into Lu Chen’s left arm.

“

Argh!!!

”

The pain collapsed Lu Chen to the ground in an instant as his arm was infested by the powers of the Ghost Demons. All Lu Chen felt was that his arm was getting crushed into bits and fragments.

The severe pain lasted for a long time, and in the pain, Lu Chen could clearly see that his left hand was slowly turned black as it was contaminated by the powers of the Ghost Demons.

But suddenly, Lu Chen’s blood became agitated. Especially the blood in his left hand, it was flowing vigorously like boiling magma.

The blood blended with the powers of the Ghost Demons and contending for dominance. Slowly, Lu Chen discovered that the color of his left hand had changed from a normal bronze skin to a blood black color.

At the same time, a large number of blood vessels bulged out of his muscles like wire lines. All of this made Lu Chen’s left hand look hideous and terrifying.

Is this my Ghost Hand?

When the pain subsided, Lu Chen moved his left hand a bit. At the same time, he could clearly feel that it was different now.

In it, lies a terrible power.

At the same time, what surprised Lu Chen more was that in this dark night, there was a slight bit of coolness that was seeping into his left arm and increasing its power.

Something in the night of this world is enhancing the powers of the Evils.

Lu Chen who was not dumb immediately inferred something from the Ghost Hand’s act of drawing power in the night.

However, quickly, he didn’t have the mind to think about it anymore.

A dark air was spreading from his left arm to Lu Chen’s body.
