Translator: Exodus Tales

Editor: Exodus Tales

[Barbarian King’s Bloodline (Beginner): For eons, barbarians living in the wild have braced themselves in the face of harsh challenges from illnesses, the weather, the environment, and the threat from the vicious beasts. Long years of living side by side with danger has trained the barbarians to develop incredible will and physique.]

[The strongest warriors of the barbarian tribes were crowned as the Barbarian Kings. They stood above the rest with their otherworldly strengths and powers and wielded a power known as Fury in their battles. You have the blood of the Barbarian Kings flowing in your veins, and so you shall be bestowed with the same power.]

[Passive Skill: Barbarian King’s Constitution: Increase host’s Strength +10, Constitution +10, Vigor +10, Fury +10.]

[Active skill: Undying Rage: After 10 Fury has been accumulated, Fury can be consumed to increase host’s Strength by 100%.]

[Barbarian King’s Bloodline can be leveled up. Mastery Points to level up: 100,000.] 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝒷𝓃𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The corner of Lu Chen’s mouth twitched when he saw the golden icon of the new skill Barbarian King’s Bloodline.

What happened, how did Highlander turn into Barbarian King’s Bloodline?

Furthermore, its active skill, Undying Rage, it sounds like a skill from League of Legends. Doesn’t this mean, as long as I increase the skill to its highest level, I will be unkillable?

Undying Rage, it was the ultimate skill belonging to Tryndamere the Barbarian King in the game League of Legends. Tryndamere was also known by players as the ‘5-second True Man’. What it simply meant was that after Tryndamere activated his ultimate skill, the Undying Rage, he would remain immune to death for 5 seconds.

And now, Lu Chen had the very same skill. But of course, his Undying Rage didn’t have the ability to make him immune to death yet.

But that wasn’t the main point. Lu Chen’s main concern was how the initial skill he drew, the Highlander, became a different skill — the Barbarian King’s Bloodline?

However, it didn’t take long for him to come up with an explanation.

Could it be because this body of mine is a barbarian? So when the system was modifying my body, the Highlander was converted into the Barbarian King’s Bloodline?

Then, he recalled the modification process on his body by the golden light. Lu Chen was most likely correct about the explanation.

It seems like the skills in the game had to be ‘processed’ before they could be properly used in the real world. They would only work after they had been modified to adapt to the conditions in the real world!

As he thought, Lu Chen stopped caring about the changes in the skill. After all, what happened had happened.

Then, Lu Chen looked at Barbarian King’s Bloodline and sighed. novelbuddy. com

To be honest, the Barbarian King’s Bloodline was not weak at all. Whether it be its passive or active skill, they were both incredible.

Its passive skill, the Barbarian King’s Constitution, greatly boosted Lu Chen’s basic attributes over a few aspects.

In the mobile game Lu Chen designed, a point increase in Strength was equivalent to the strength of an ordinary human.

An increase of +10 would mean that Lu Chen would be 10 times stronger than an ordinary human. Other than Strength, his Constitution, Vigor, and Fury also increased by 10 points.

This meant that Lu Chen was ten times stronger than an ordinary human in every aspect of his body.

Think about it, Ah’Chen spent years cultivating the Bull’s Strength and only gained 1 point in Strength. But just the passive skill of the Barbarian King’s Bloodline had granted Lu Chen with 10 points in Strength. This alone proved how powerful the Barbarian King’s Bloodline was.

However, seeing the Barbarian King’s Bloodline effect on his Strength, Constitution, and Vigor, Lu Chen couldn’t help but ponder.

I’ve specialized in the path of a Sword Saint. And Sword Saints are heroes of elegance equipped with unrivaled techniques. What’s up with boosting up my Strength and Constitution? These are the attributes of Barbarians!

Looking at the deviation of his basic attributes, Lu Chen felt incredibly helpless. That being said, the modification on his body was completed and the bloodline in him had awakened. But the Sword Saint was the only class he could specialize in. This left Lu Chen with no choice but to accept his twisted fate.

However, Lu Chen somehow had this feeling that his path of becoming a Sword Saint would not proceed as expected.

The time he took to inspect the skill felt long, but in fact, it was only just a few seconds in the real world. Even after Lu Chen was done checking on the skill, Wu still hadn’t arrived yet.

At the same time, Lu Chen still felt weak and powerless despite awakening the Barbarian King’s Bloodline.

It wasn’t surprising though, it was expected that things turned out this way. It was true that Lu Chen’s Strength, Constitution, Vigor, and Fury were boosted, but that also came with an increase in their maximum capacity.

If Lu Chen was in his peak condition, he would naturally be able to demonstrate the incredible powers bestowed to him by the attributes.

But Lu Chen’s current state was no where near that. He was incredibly hungry and deprived of energy. Any muscleman would end up the same as Lu Chen if they were to starve for a few days.

Without any extra energy, Lu Chen clearly didn’t feel like doing anything at all. Then, he turned back to the system and checked on the status of his class of Swordsman.

Ding—

[System Message: An unexpected occurrence was detected while fusing the host’s body with Highlander…]

Ding—

[System Message: The Gold-grade skill, Highlander, was consumed by the innate bloodline in the host’s body. Highlander will now be converted into the Barbarian King’s Bloodline.]

Ding—

[System Message: Host’s class of Commoner has reached to the maximum level. Please complete the specialization trial quest as soon as possible.]

[Host’s available selection of classes: Warrior… *Ding* System Error!]

[Host’s available selection of classes: Magician… *Ding* System Error!]

[Host’s available selection of classes: Hunter… *Ding* System Error!]

[Host’s available selection of classes: Swordsman. Please complete the specialization trial quest as soon as possible—Breaking Through Your Limits!]

[Breaking Through Your Limits!: Swordsman are heroes that live by the sword and die by the sword. Only with an iron will and the courage to face fear can one be qualified to become a true Swordsman. Requirement: Defeat and kill a mob higher than the host’s level. Only after the death of the mob can the host advance to the next level with the Mastery Points.]

[Note: The specialization trial quest is extremely difficult. A friendly reminder for the host to master all skills and be equipped with the best equipment before proceeding with the quest.]

The specialization trial quest was dangerous, but Lu Chen wasn’t worried at all.

The Barbarian King’s Bloodline made me ten times more powerful than an ordinary man. In addition to the power of Fury, I will be able to complete the quest for sure.

Once I recover from this weak state, I will proceed to complete the quest.

However, just when Lu Chen laid his plan down, the system message interrupted him again.

Ding—

[System Message: A system check detected that the host has killed a White Wander Roaming Spirit. The requirement of the specialization trial quest has been met. The specialization trial quest is completed. The host has awakened the willpower of a Swordsman and will advance into the next stage.]

[The host can now consume 100 Mastery Points to break through the level bottleneck and officially specialize as a Swordsman.]

The system messages just shattered Lu Chen’s plan seconds after it was formed, leaving him speechless for a long time.

After some time, Lu Chen sighed and thought, Bah, whatever. Good that it’s completed already. That means I can now advance as a Swordsman.

Of course, Lu Chen was only thinking about the advancement, he wouldn’t do it right now.

He didn’t forget how he nearly died just before this.

Unless I have a huge pile of food stocked up readily, I will never take the advancement.

While Lu Chen was quietly celebrating the completion of the specialization trial quest, Wu finally arrived.

However, Wu wasn’t the first one to approach Lu Chen, but a 2.4-meter tall barbarian. Not only was the barbarian tall and muscular, but he also had many mysterious barbaric patterns on his skin.

Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel pressure when the barbarian approached him.

However, although the pressure was unbearable, Lu Chen wasn’t afraid at all as the barbarian was not an enemy but the protector of the village.

“Chieftan, you are also here.”

“En, how can I not come to take a look when such a huge matter has happened in the village. You still have your mind with you, I see. That’s good.”

As he replied, the brawny barbarian didn’t stop his movements. As soon as he was near Lu Chen, he has swiftly clenched on Lu Chen’s body and pinned him in his arms.

“Elder Bai, please check if Ah’Chen is still one of us.”
