Chapter 641: Earthfire Realm (1/2)

I let out a smug grin as I looked at the spoils of war on the ground and threw some choice equipment into my inventory. I then hefted my Cyan Netherworld Sword over my shoulder in excitement and anticipation. Yup, it’s time to get my sixth class promotion quest.

Unfortunately, my trainer was an undead mage and not an undead swordsman. Thus, I would be unable to learn melee skills of the Warrior class.

Ahh, nevermind all that. There surely must be a reward for the first ever warrior player to get a class promotion!

My trainer was located at the peak of the Dragonbone Mountain Range, a ten-minute travel from where I currently was. Alright, I’ll just walk there!

I urged the Broadback War Elephant forward as I gripped my Cyan Netherworld Sword in one hand. Laughing heartily, I said, ”Let’s go!”

The Broadback War Elephant moved much faster than I did. Moreover, the elephant added 8000 HP and increased my Attack by 27%. The added stats made me so much more powerful! Having a mount is so much better, I feel like a completely different person!

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

The ground vibrated as the Broadback War Elephant made its way up the Dragonbone Mountain Range to the peak of the Snow Domain step by step. Its shockingly large footprints left deep imprints in the snow with each step it took. What a goddamn monster.

The elephant had an extremely broad back. I could ride on the elephant in any position I wanted to and even do a little dance on it without worrying that I would fall off its back.

I continued my journey on the elephant’s back as I saw my destination growing closer and closer. I dismounted after reaching the peak and ran to my trainer, Rinser, who looked so fragile as he trembled in the cold. He noticed me and spoke in a low voice, ”My beloved disciple is finally back. Let me see how powerful you have become!”

I stared at him and replied, ”Trainer, I’ve come for my class promotion. I want… I want to become an even more powerful swordsman!”

”Oh, I see...”

Rinser’s words trailed off as he scratched his scarred head. After a long while, he let out a sigh and replied, ”Pity, because I’m an undead mage specialized in elemental magic. I have nothing to teach you in the field of swordplay. However, you still have to complete the next part of your training. It is then that I will pass you this skill book that I went through great pains to scam from Sword Saint Andrew. But only if I deem you worthy after your training is complete!”

”Oh?”

My eyes lit up when Rinser said that he had scammed a high-level attack skill book from someone called the Sword Saint. Awesome! Tsk tsk! This trainer is definitely better than that Undead Swordsman Suren!

”Yes master! What kind of training shall I undergo next?” I asked excitedly as my sixth class promotion was right around the corner!

Ding~!

System Notice: You’ve accepted the quest [Earthfire Realm Promotion]! (Current Quest Rank: SS)

Description: Kill any 500 random players and then return to Rinser. You will then be qualified for the Earthfire Realm Promotion and will trigger a chance for ‘Great Earth Transformation’.

……

Alright! The Earthfire Realm was a completely new system. It was a whole new realm for the sixth class promotion, which sets it apart from the previous class promotions. Players who have reached Level 150 and have successfully gained their sixth class promotion would be able to step into the Earthfire Realm. In that realm, their hidden abilities would not only be multiplied, many other benefits will also be given to them.

One of the benefits I knew about included guild rank expansion if the player was a guild leader. The player could sacrifice his or her Reputation in exchange for the guild rank increase. This could result in guild growing to Rank 7, increasing the number of slots to 50000. The very thought of such an army made a shiver run down my spine.

It would be awesome if the upper limit of the number of members in the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was increased so much. I would totally be able to form a 30000-strong mounted cavalry! And when that happens, we would usher in the era of riders!

I was beyond excited to start the quest. Alright, I have to go down the mountain and kill 500 players. It isn’t a large number, but neither is it a small one. I have the Broadback War Elephant with me. It boosts offensive and defensive capabilities, so it’s definitely doable!

I opened up the guild channel and asked, ”Hey is everyone grinding hard? Is anyone PvPing right now? I’ll be glad to help!”

Li Chengfeng asked in a flabbergasted voice, ”OMG, aren’t you busy leveling up? Why are you looking for a PvP session?”

Chaos Moon giggled. ”Lu Chen is in a bloodthirsty mood. The girls around him probably got him frustrated so he needs to take it out on others. How despicable…”

I replied gloomily, ”What do you mean by frustrated? I have a very optimistic personality! No one can get me frustrated...”

Chaos Moon snorted and burst out into laughter.

Gui Guzi answered, ”Boss Broken Halberd wants to PvP? You’re in luck. Cute Little Naughty just PMed me and said that the eighth subguild was attacked by some guild called ‘God's Mercenaries’ in Sky Forest. Even though they have almost a thousand members in their guild, they’re not high-level players. Most of the players are not even Level 120.”

I rolled my eyes and said, ”Are they crazy? How dare they attack our eighth subguild with such low-level players. The members in Little Naughty’s guild are definitely not so weak!”

Gui Guzi laughed and replied, ”That’s right. But Little Naughty had only brought a hundred players with her to grind while the opponent has almost a thousand. They are currently being surrounded and are unable to escape. I’m forming a rescue team as we speak. Does Boss Broken Halberd want to come with us?”

I replied in a low voice, ”You don’t have to go Little Gui. Send me their coordinates. I’ll go by myself!”

Xu Yang exclaimed, ”Damn! Did you get hit on the head? How are you going to solo a thousand people? You’re clearly suicidal…”

I grinned and replied, ”Do you think that a bunch of players that aren’t even Level 120 can pierce through my armor? Hehe. Look at my entire set of Heaven-grade and Earth-grade equipment. Do they look like decorations? Just you wait. I’ll be able to flatten them all on my own…”

My confidence left Xu Yang speechless. “Alright then…”
