After ruining more than a dozen Red Dragon Grass plants, Nie Yan finally managed to dig one up successfully. He did some minor processing to the roots before putting it into his bag.
System: You have harvested one Red Dragon Grass, gaining 32 skill proficiency.
Because Red Dragon Grass was very rare and high-level, Nie Yan was gathering above his level, so the skill proficiency he gained from successfully gathering one was very high.
Just gathering Red Dragon Grass alone could quickly increase his gathering skill proficiency.
With the first Red Dragon Grass in hand, Nie Yan continued to search. In addition to Red Dragon Grass, there were many other types of high-level herbs here. After raising his gathering skill to Advanced, he could collect all of these good things to his heart's content.
While gathering various high-level herbs and hunting Tier 2 creatures, the joy of harvesting diluted the monotony of leveling and gathering. The task was proceeding slowly, step by step.
The Holy Shadow Dancer job-change quest was taking much longer than Nie Yan had imagined. Quickly, almost half a month had passed.
It looked like he would have to stay here for a long time. Nie Yan glanced at the players' levels. The highest level at the moment was only Level 90. It would take a long time for them to catch up with him. It was even harder to level up above Level 90. The experience required to level up was dozens of times more than before. So he didn't have to worry about anyone changing jobs to Shadow Dancer before him. He still had plenty of time.
In the middle of the distant jungle, a tall werewolf appeared in front of Nie Yan. It was a Tier 2 werewolf. They could walk upright like humans. Their upper bodies were no different from wolves. Among Tier 2 creatures, werewolves were the most difficult to deal with. They had very agile movements and were very strong in combat. Nie Yan had encountered a werewolf before, and he had fled in a panic. Since then, Nie Yan usually chose to avoid werewolves, but this time, he suddenly felt a desire to compete with one.
Nie Yan slowly sneaked behind the werewolf, completely suppressing his aura.
The werewolf didn't notice Nie Yan and continued to wander aimlessly.
Nie Yan suddenly burst out, and the Zennarde's Sword in his hand fiercely chopped down at the werewolf's spine with a Spinal Sever.
Just as Zennarde's Sword was about to hit the werewolf's spine, the werewolf suddenly sensed something, tilted its body, dodged Nie Yan's attack, and let out a low growl, pouncing on Nie Yan and revealing its sharp claws.
Its steel claws were like curved blades, extremely sharp.
Such fast reaction speed! Seeing the werewolf's sharp claws sweeping over, Nie Yan retreated, dodging its attack.
The werewolf's speed was faster than he had imagined. It pounced on Nie Yan fiercely, its attacks were unusually sharp, so fast that it was impossible to dodge. With a puff, the werewolf's claws slashed across his chest, and blood splattered out.
A damage value of more than 3,000 floated above Nie Yan's head.
This won't do. Sooner or later, I'll be worn down by the werewolf!
Nie Yan was forced into a very embarrassing situation. He was hit twice in a row, and his health was only about 30% left. He drank a bottle of Advanced Instant Recovery Potion, and his health immediately returned to full.
Looking at the werewolf's footsteps when it attacked, which were so fast that only afterimages remained, Nie Yan was thoughtful. He involuntarily imitated the werewolf's footsteps. Nie Yan, who was originally a little slow, gradually became more calm and comfortable.
The werewolf roared and pounced.
Just as it was about to pounce in front of him, and its snow-white claws were close at hand, Nie Yan suddenly had a strange idea, regarding this place as a fighting arena and the werewolf as his opponent. He almost instinctively leaned to the side, making a very difficult movement, supporting himself with his left hand, leaning forward with his body, shifting his weight forward, and the strength of his whole body surged to his right foot. Hit! Nie Yan shouted lowly, and with a muffled bang, his right foot kicked the werewolf's neck.
With a crack, Nie Yan heard the sound of the werewolf's neck being broken.
This was a terrifying and majestic force, full of destructiveness.
The werewolf was hit hard, whimpered miserably, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was kicked five or six yards away by Nie Yan's foot, falling heavily to the ground.
A big critical hit damage floated from the werewolf's head, -7300.
The werewolf was directly killed in seconds, lying on the ground and never getting up again.
The werewolf's agility was very strong, but its attack and defense were not very good. Under his attack, it was simply too fragile to withstand a single blow.
He didn't expect this kick to be so powerful. The power of this strike shocked him. It turned out that this whimsical trick could have such power. What he used just now was real fighting skill! These real-world fighting skills were perfectly displayed by Nie Yan, full of lethality like skills.
Nie Yan increasingly felt the magic of the Shadow Dancer. What he had mastered now was only the fur of the Shadow Dancer, but just catching a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg had already made him feel very shocked.
The exploration of the Shadow Dancer had only just begun.
Nie Yan dug out the werewolf's crystal core. The werewolf's corpse slowly melted and disappeared, purified. He suddenly felt the Zennarde's Sword in his hand vibrate violently. Clusters of black flames rose up, full of scorching heat.
He could feel a strong force surging from Zennarde's Sword. He looked at the attributes of Zennarde's Sword and found that another seal of Zennarde's Sword had been unlocked.
Sealed Zennarde's Sword: Karando Divine Object.
Item Description: A divine object created by Karando at the command of Zennarde, the Dragon King, and infused with dark magic by Zennarde. When you do not control its power, you will suffer the backlash of Zennarde's Sword. This sword has been sealed with six layers of divine seals by the God of War, Keros. Seal 46.

Attached Skill, Purgatory Execution, when the enemy's health is below 20%, using this skill has a certain chance to execute the opponent, the success rate is related to the levels and defenses of both sides.

Usage Restrictions: None.
Another seal of Zennarde's Sword had been unlocked, and its attributes had been greatly improved. It now had the attributes of a Level 120 Legendary weapon, which was ridiculously strong. Especially the Advanced Cataclysm, with level 8 curses. Even a level 100+ Lord would have a hard time if it was blessed with five level 8 curses.
The black flames on the body of Zennarde's Sword burned fiercely, dragging a long trail of fire when swung, emitting a scorching energy.
Nie Yan felt a little surprised by the upgrade of Zennarde's Sword. He remembered that it would take a long time to unlock the next seal. He didn't expect it to be so fast. It might be because creatures like werewolves were of a higher level, so the unsealing speed of Zennarde's Sword was much faster than before.
The attack of Zennarde's Sword was already more than 1,500, far exceeding ordinary level 100 daggers and short swords. Nie Yan was even more looking forward to the future attributes of Zennarde's Sword. It had only unlocked two seals, but it was already so powerful. If all six seals were unlocked, how amazing would it be!
Near dusk, Nie Yan looked at the progress of the quest. The progress of the Holy Shadow Dancer job-change quest was nearly 55%, which was quite fast.
Another day was over. Nie Yan came out of the game pod and took a breath. It was also a very tiring task to constantly grind monsters and gather in the Ancient World every day.
Nie Yan and Xie Yao, as usual, washed up, ate breakfast, and then took the bus to school.
Most people in the First Military Academy knew that Xie Yao was Nie Yan's girlfriend. They walked together every time they went to and from school. Many boys couldn't help but envy Nie Yan, because Xie Yao was the perfect lover in the eyes of many people, but unfortunately she already had an owner, which made them very annoyed.
When Nie Yan walked into the Command Department classroom, he heard everyone discussing something enthusiastically.
"What are they talking about?" Nie Yan glanced at Xia Tianyu, Fei Zhe and others and asked.
"They're talking about dungeons. Zhao Shiyu's trash team hasn't even cleared the Mysterious Caverns yet, and they still have the nerve to show off," Xia Tianyu said with some disdain.
Nie Yan smiled. The Command Department's team had only been established for more than half a month, and it was very fast to have reached the Mysterious Caverns. However, for Nie Yan and the elites of Nirvana Guild, this speed was nothing at all.
"Nie Yan, I just got an Level 85 Glorious Armor. The attributes are awesome, and the defense is more than 800," Xu Yan said with a slightly proud expression.
"Damn, you're really lucky, kid. You got Level 85 equipment so early," Fei Zhe said with an envious look. Xu Yan was only Level 81 now, but he got an Level 85 armor with such good attributes, which would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
"Where did you get it?" Xia Tianyu was also a little envious. He was already Level 86, but he only had one Level 85 equipment, and the rest were all Level 80 equipment. It was a little embarrassing to say.
"When I was in a dungeon with a team, we killed a Colossal Beast and this armor dropped. The main warrior had better equipment and didn't want the Glorious Armor, so it fell into my hands," Xu Yan said with a smile.
"What equipment does your main warrior use? He doesn't even want the Glorious Armor?" Fei Zhe asked in surprise.
"He's Level 83 now and wears a full set of Radiant Set with reduced level requirement of 90."
"Damn, a full set of Radiant Set with reduced level requirement. What kind of warrior is that?" Xia Tianyu and Fei Zhe both rolled their eyes. They knew that the main warrior Xu Yan was talking about couldn't even be ranked in the second tier in Nirvana Guild.
