Adventure: My Skills Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 179: Chapter 137: Are You Doing This on Purpose?

"Skill [Giant Shield Charge] Lv3 (40/40) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Giant Shield Charge] Lv4 (31/100)"

[Continuous Thrust] Skill Level +5

[Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] Skill Level +9

"Skill [Continuous Thrust] Lv3 (40/40) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Continuous Thrust] Lv4 (0/100)"

Lin Mo ignored the messages floating before his eyes, his movements never ceasing as he continued to attack the Mutated Goblins.

*Sword Storing and Continuous Slash!*

’For dealing with these relatively stronger Demons, the powerful, wide-ranging [Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] is naturally the best choice. Besides, killing these Demons also allows my Excellence Level skill to gain a decent amount of Skill Level.’

Lin Mo unleashed two consecutive, instant-cast [Sword Storing and Continuous Slash]. Six streams of Sword Qi flew out, each toward a different target. Regardless of whether they were Sub-adult or Adult, and even with the Goblin Priest’s enhancement, these Mutated Goblins couldn’t withstand a single stream of Lin Mo’s Sword Qi and were annihilated one by one.

[Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] Skill Level +3!

[Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] Skill Level +8!

The Skill Level provided by the Sub-adult Mutant Goblins, which were below Level 1, was penalized, yielding only 3 points. The adult ones, however, gave the full amount, a solid 8 points.

The skill’s Skill Level jumped up in an instant.

But after such a prolonged battle, not to mention his dwindling Magic Power and strained Spirit, Lin Mo’s Physical Strength had also been severely consumed.

’I can’t afford to keep squandering my Excellence Level skills. I need to conserve some Physical Strength and Qi and Blood.’

’Anyway, my performance just now should have been spectacular enough...’

As expected, it wasn’t long before Lin Mo spotted a Bronze Level Goblin in his field of vision, and it was heading his way.

Naturally, it was also enhanced by the Goblin Priest.

Moreover, the green light enveloping the Bronze Level Goblin was visibly more intense, meaning the enhancement it received was even stronger.

Furthermore, this thing clearly wasn’t Level 3. It was the same type of stronger, Level 4 Bronze Goblin he had encountered before!

This was no small challenge for Lin Mo.

Last time he encountered a Level 4 Goblin, Shefilya had been there to help, and they had killed it instantly. This time, however, Shefilya couldn’t interfere, so he had to figure it out on his own.

Lin Mo was certainly capable of handling a single Level 4 Bronze Goblin Warrior.

But facing an enhanced Level 4 Bronze Goblin when he wasn’t at full Physical Strength... that was a different matter entirely.

’But I have to win, or at least gain the upper hand. That’s the only way to force the Goblin Priest hiding in the shadows to reveal itself.’

Lin Mo took a deep breath, his gaze hardening. The next moment, he seized the initiative and lunged, thrusting his sword at his opponent.

The Goblin Warrior, glowing with green light, showed no signs of fear. It swung the Wolf Fang Club in its grip, bringing it crashing down on him.

Just an instant before they were about to collide, Lin Mo’s figure suddenly vanished. He came to an abrupt halt and circled around the Goblin Warrior’s attack range. The Wolf Fang Club swung through empty air, leaving the creature momentarily stunned.

’It’s a Level 4 Warrior, after all. I’d be a fool to meet it head-on; I wouldn’t gain any advantage.’

’Besides, I have a speed advantage, and I should make full use of it.’

A few seconds later, Lin Mo suddenly reappeared at its flank. Qi and Blood gathered on his Black Sword as he unleashed seven fierce streams of Sword Qi.

With the +2 bonus from his Black Sword, Lin Mo’s Strength Attribute had reached 42. This was further amplified by a 26% physical damage boost from [Invisibility], a 10% damage increase to slashing skills from the Black Sword itself, and another 10% Close-Range Physical Damage bonus from [Assassin’s Heart].

The power of Lin Mo’s [Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] had unquestionably reached, or even surpassed, that of a typical Level 4 Warrior Professional!

But its opponent was no pushover. With a furious roar, the muscles on its thick arm bulged as it swung its heavy Wolf Fang Club in a devastating smash.

That single blow scattered six of the Sword Qi streams.

The final stream struck it in the chest. While it left a fairly deep wound, given the Goblin Warrior’s vitality, it was hardly a serious injury.

’This thing’s tough.’

’After the Goblin Priest’s enhancement, this thing’s Strength hasn’t changed much, but its speed and Constitution are clearly way higher than the ones I just fought.’

’It’s as if its weaknesses have been shored up, making it much more well-rounded.’

’This is going to be a tough fight.’

’[Invisibility] combined with [Sword Storing and Continuous Slash] is my strongest Combined Technique right now, but it still wasn’t very effective, even as a sneak attack...’

’This means a quick victory is pretty much impossible.’

The Goblin Warrior took the offensive, swinging its Wolf Fang Club. Lin Mo quickly fell back to dodge, but a reckless Mutated Goblin chose that moment to launch a sneak attack from his flank.

Lin Mo snorted, casually thrusting his sword out to the side.

He was conserving Physical Strength, so he didn’t even use [Continuous Thrust]. A simple thrust was all it took to kill it instantly.

The gap between these Mutated Goblins and Lin Mo was simply too great. They posed no threat to him whatsoever.

The Goblin Warrior before him seemed to understand this as well. It let out a low, guttural roar, and the surrounding Mutated Goblins immediately fell back, leaving the two of them a clear space.

’It wants to fight me one-on-one?’

Lin Mo stretched his limbs, a fierce battle lust glinting in his eyes.

’Alright, I’ll play along!’

The next moment, Lin Mo attacked again, charging straight at his opponent.
