Chapter 4

Ye Zhan stood still, watching the cat demon leap over, his eyes extremely calm.

In the blink of an eye, the cat demon pounced above Ye Zhan, its claws revealing nails about ten centimeters long, shining like lightning, and slashing towards Ye Zhan.

Seeing this, Ye Zhan suddenly moved, raising the Tang knife in his hand and sliding forward with a small step, which was just enough to dodge the cat demon's claw. Then, he fiercely slashed the cat demon's lower abdomen.

Sss...

A light sound, and the cat demon flew past Ye Zhan's left side, landing with a thud and sliding several meters away, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

"Good knife, with a good weapon, it's different. In my previous life, Li Xing and I, along with a dozen others, fought for a long time with axes and such to kill a cat demon, and three people died, and five were injured. Now, with this weapon, I can easily break through the cat demon's skin and kill it alone, which is extremely easy."

These demons, some of which have beautiful fur, actually have very strong defenses. Ordinary weapons find it hard to penetrate their thick skin, which is why Ye Zhan initially sought a good weapon.

After killing the cat demon in one strike, Ye Zhan immediately turned around, went to the cat demon's corpse, and began to dissect it, searching for the demon core.

"It's here." Ye Zhan held a small, yellow-brown bead about the size of a thumb, emitting a faint light, soft and fleshy. After the monster dies, the demon core in its body emits a faint light. At first, many people dug out the demon cores out of curiosity, and subconsciously ate them, discovering this method to enhance their strength.

Without hesitation, Ye Zhan immediately swallowed it.

Soon, Ye Zhan felt as if all the cells in his body had come to life, a surge of heat rising, and his body filled with strength.

"This cat demon should be a level 2 monster, I can't remember clearly, but its demon core is much stronger than a level 1 monster's. If I can swallow two more, I can level up and reach level 1, officially becoming an Evolver. My character direction is the Sword Saint, which will be very helpful in the early stages."

Ye Zhan stood up and looked at the fat man, saying, "Let's go, fatty, why are you still standing there?"

Hearing Ye Zhan call, the fat man came to his senses. When the cat demon pounced, he was so scared that his legs went weak, and he couldn't move at all. Now, he looked at Ye Zhan like a monster and said, "Brother Ye, are you a god? You killed such a powerful cat demon in one strike? Tell me, are you Ultraman?"

"Ultraman your head. As long as you master the method and have a good weapon, killing these monsters isn't difficult. Let's go, continue killing. Only by killing these monsters do we have a way to survive."

Ye Zhan continued walking.

Since they were on the fifth floor, not many monsters could climb up. The cat demon, with its claws, could start climbing.

Ye Zhan was lucky and found two more solitary cat demons, killing them with one strike each, clean and neat. Although his current physical condition was far from his peak in his previous life, his combat awareness remained. The low-level demons' attacks were familiar to him, and he instinctively knew how to dodge and counterattack, making it easy to kill them.

Some people, seeing Ye Zhan's heroic and valiant performance, were stunned and wanted to follow him.

Ye Zhan raised his knife and coldly said to them, "Stay away from me. I'm not your bodyguard. To survive, you must be strong, kill the demons, eat their demon cores, and enhance your strength. Otherwise, no one can help you."

Seeing Ye Zhan's ferocity, they dared not follow anymore.

Ye Zhan obtained two more cat demon cores and immediately swallowed them. Instantly, a wave of heat surged through his body, and his cells grew rapidly, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

Boom...

In his mind, it felt like the legendary Ren and Du meridians were unblocked. He felt a clear and unprecedented clarity, as if a nearsighted person had suddenly regained normal vision.

Ye Zhan was pleasantly surprised. He knew this was the feeling of becoming an Evolver. He had finally become a level 1 Evolver.

"Congratulations, you are the first Evolver. For this, I specially reward you with a talent skill, [Wings of the Wind]."

Hearing these words, Ye Zhan was stunned. He didn't expect to be the first Evolver and to receive such a reward.

"Originally, the guy called the Wing King in my previous life was the first Evolver, so he obtained [Wings of the Wind]." Ye Zhan suddenly understood why the Wing King was so powerful in his previous life.

However, in this life, this skill belonged to him.

The Wings of the Wind is a very practical skill, allowing a pair of golden wings to grow on the back for a short glide and sprint, increasing speed. As a talent skill, it can be upgraded with level. Currently, this skill can help Ye Zhan glide ten meters, increase speed by 50%, and last ten seconds, with a one-minute cooldown. However, as the level increases, this skill can also be upgraded, as long as there are skill points.

"After evolving, your character ability is the Sword Saint. Now, you can choose to allocate attributes." A familiar voice sounded, and a transparent screen appeared in front of Ye Zhan, displaying some data.

Character: Ye Zhan.

Role: Wuji Sword Saint

Attribute: Wind

Strength: 23

Agility: 31

Magic: 10

Stamina: 30

Skill: Passive skill, Double Strike, the Sword Saint performs a double strike on the target after a certain number of attacks.

Alpha Strike [Level 0]: The Sword Saint quickly crosses the battlefield, damaging up to four targets. Alpha Strike can crit, causing additional damage. Cooldown: 20 seconds. Cost: 15 mana points, improves with level.

Wuji Sword Path [Level 0]: Passive: Increases physical attack by 5% per level. Active: Activates to double the attack boost for 10 seconds, stackable, duration increases with level. Cooldown: 25 seconds.

Meditation [Level 0]: The Sword Saint focuses his mind to activate his body, healing and restoring health, and temporarily reducing damage taken for 1 minute. Cooldown: 2 hours. Healing effect improves with level. Cost: 20 mana points.

Highland Bloodline [Level 0]: Increases the Sword Saint's movement speed and attack speed by a certain percentage, starting at 50%, increasing by 25% per level, and grants immunity to slow effects for 15 seconds (unlocks at level 6).

Remaining allocation points: 1.

Ye Zhan was already very familiar with these. In his previous life, he was the Sword Saint, and a Wind attribute one.

The world view set by the Overlord, although referencing the game "League of Legends," is not entirely copied. Many changes have been made.

For example, the [Meditation] skill of the Sword Saint, if it were still like in the game, where it can heal at any time, it would be too overpowered and unfair to other classes without healing abilities.

In the real world, such a healing skill is extremely powerful. In this world, there is no base to quickly restore health, and no one can bring the dead back to life. Once dead, you're dead. Although healing potions can be purchased from NPC camps in the future, their cooldown is also 2 hours.

The Overlord set this up to make survival more difficult.

Without hesitation, Ye Zhan added the first skill point to [Alpha Strike]. Anyone who has played the Sword Saint in League of Legends knows that this skill is usually the starting skill and is very practical.

"Brother Ye, what's wrong? Your body seems to have many lumps, are you poisoned?" Zeng Cheng, the fat man, was startled when he saw Ye Zhan standing still with his muscles bulging.

Ye Zhan smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine. I just swallowed three demon cores and have become an Evolver, greatly enhancing my physical strength. The lumps you see are the muscles growing rapidly."

"Damn, really? Muscles? So powerful?" Zeng Cheng's eyes widened in envy.

Ye Zhan said, "Don't envy me. I will kill demons and give you the demon cores to eat. You will soon become an Evolver too. As an Evolver, not only can your strength and agility increase significantly, but you can also have the ability of a character from 'League of Legends.'"

"Give me? Brother Ye, you're really a good brother, you're too kind to me." Zeng Cheng was overjoyed and said, "By the way, Brother Ye, are there really abilities from 'League of Legends'? What's your ability?"

Zeng Cheng had heard the Overlord's words before, but he didn't think about it carefully because his mind was already stopped by the monsters.

In fact, in such a situation, most people couldn't understand what the Overlord meant. Only by surviving in this world and becoming an Evolver could they understand.

Ye Zhan said, "Of course, mine is the Wuji Sword Saint, and I now have the skill [Alpha Strike]."

"Really? That's awesome. I've always loved playing 'League of Legends.' I also want an ability from 'League of Legends,' it must be very powerful." Zeng Cheng was overjoyed again.

Seeing the fat man, Ye Zhan's mood improved a lot. He picked up his Tang knife and checked its attributes.

[Elite Long Knife] Sharpness +13, Durability 15/15.

"The sharpness is +13, it's indeed a good knife. In an NPC camp, such a knife would cost at least a dozen silver coins." Ye Zhan thought, then took Zeng Cheng's Han sword to check.

[Elite Long Sword] Sharpness +12, Heavy Strike +2, Durability 15/15.
