Different skill grades would improve Lu Chen's prowess differently.
And this world has many secrets hidden within.
His encounter with the white swordsman made Lu Chen understood the prowess of the true experts in this world were beyond his imagination.
If most of his skills were just Bronze and Silver in grade, there was a chance he could be easily killed by the other strong experts or the heirs of the gods who were lower in cultivation levels.
It was very likely to happen. After all, the heirs of the gods have the divine blood flowing in their veins and the skills they learned were most likely Legendary skills.
The Bronze and Silver skills were extremely weak when used against experts like these. And Lu Chen was definitely not willing to become a training target to those lower in cultivation levels than him.
After sometime thinking about it, Lu Chen eventually sighed.
System, level up Swordsman.
In the end, he still chose to wait for a better chance.
Even if I've leveled up Barbarian Blood Warrior now, I'll most likely be given a Silver skill which won't improve my prowess a lot.
Hence, it's better that I level up Swordsman now. I'll save it for later or when I really find myself in danger.
After all, I have enough Constitution right now. Even when it'd take up my life essence to impart the skills into me, I can certainly bear it.
His eagerness to have the Gold skills made Lu Chen chose to wait for the right time.

…
Without hesitations, Lu Chen leveled up his Swordsman class to Level 9.
As of now, both his classes have reached Level 9.
Hence, Lu Chen's attributes have become:
[Host: Lu Chen]
[Age: 15]
[Class: Lvl 9 Swordsman / Lvl 9 Barbarian Blood Warrior]
[Mastery Points: 3120]
[Spirit Energy: 5]
[Skills:]
[Bull's Strength (Bronze)]
[Intuition E (Bronze)]
[Boiling Blood (Bronze)]
[Master Swordsmanship (Silver) (1000/3000)]
[Critical Strike (Silver)]
[Conqueror's Haki (Gold)]
[Barbarian King's Bloodline (Gold)]
[Ghost Hand (Dark)]
[Strength +38, Agility +17, Constitution +58, Vigor +35]
[Aura +10, Willpower +20, Dominance +10, Perception +5]
[Fury +10, Sharpness +3, Longsword Mastery +20, Basic Swordsmanship +20]
And that was Lu Chen's advancement over the three days.
After the advancements, Lu Chen still have over 3000 Mastery Points left with him.
The level ups have also increased Lu Chen's basic attributes such as Strength, Agility, Constitution and Vigor.
Sadly, leveling could only increase these four basic attributes.
The other attributes like Willpower, Aura, Perception, Fury and the rest doesn't come with level ups nor could he raise them with the Mastery Points.
That's enough for now. Although I cannot raise the rest with Mastery Points, I can use the points to level up my skills. As my skills were leveled, the special attributes will also increase.
However, I'm saving the rest of the Mastery Points just in case of emergencies. Right now, it's not the time to level up my skills yet. I'll wait until I become a Barbarian Body Warrior before leveling up the skills.
As he thought, Lu Chen reached his hand out and drank a jar of the herbal soup.
This time, Lu Chen leveled up 5 times in a row.
Every time he levels up, it takes a toll on his energy. But he has a strong body which was why he didn't feel much uneasy.
Right now, he finally understood that even when learning a skill consumes his energy, he would be able to pull through if his life essence and Vigor was strong enough.
Just like now, even after he leveled up 5 times, Lu Chen only felt a little feeble.
Which was why Lu Chen has the thought of leveling up and learning a skill in the middle of the battle when the need arises.
Back then, he would only have his life essence drained and die on the spot.
But now, as long as it wasn't a Gold skill, the energy consumed to learn the skills were almost insignificant to his performance.
Of course, while having a strong body made him feel good, he has his own troubles as well.
Right now, I can don't eat for days and still not starve or train sword skill for a whole day and still be fine. But once I run low in energy, one jar of herbal soup isn't enough to replenish my energy anymore.
As he said, Lu Chen drank ten bowls of herbal soup down.
As he finished the herbal soups, Lu Chen felt a warmth in his stomach. It was his stomach digesting the herbal soup.
As the warmth flows in his body, energy slowly rise within his body.
It was only after he digested all of the herbal soup that he replenished the loss energy.
Right now, Lu Chen would have to drink ten bowls of herbal soup to replenish his energy. The reason for that was a high Constitution and that made him feel troubled.
A high Constitution was like having a big oil tank.
A big oil tank can allow the car to travel further in one go but at the same time, it would take more oil to refill the tank every time. Which was exactly what was happening to Lu Chen.
Luckily, increasing the Constitution also improved my prowess. I can now hunt stronger barbaric beasts.
After I kill the barbaric beasts, the villagers will have to offer a portion of their gains from the beasts' territories to me. That way, I will still be able to passively gain resources. This means that I won't have to worry about the supplies of herbal soup. On the other hand, the herbal soup in the village also increased.
Right now, the herbal soup in the village is so much that the young talents couldn't even finish them, right?
Just as he expected, the herbal soup in the village was oversupplied.
Even when Lu Chen has a big appetite, Wuzu would still have a lot to share to the rest after he had his portion.
After all, Lu Chen would kill at least one or two barbaric beasts every single day. Each of the beast has its own territory. These territories were unexplored lands filled with abundant resources.
Whereas the Wild Bull Village's villagers were hard working. They have already brought back a lot of medicinal herbs from the areas.
Even after Wuzu has preserved the herbs with his special methods, there were still a lot left lying around in the village.
As far as Lu Chen know, the elite group was looking to expand its number. As more have joined the elite group, it was foreseeable that the village would eventually grow stronger in the future.
He was just one man but the effects he has to the village was enormous. The villagers were no longer lacking food and the village has expanded its area.
This was why the barbarians respected the experts so much and why they all wanted to become stronger.
In the Wilderness, as long as one was strong enough, problems would no longer be problems to them anymore.
Whereas although Lu Chen was just a Barbarian Blood Warrior, the Conqueror's Haki and Barbarian King's Bloodline made it possible for Lu Chen to challenge experts stronger than him.
The Barbarian King's Bloodline has given him a body and strength equivalent to the Barbarian Body Warriors.
Whereas the Conqueror's Haki gave Lu Chen an ability to kill his enemies easily. As long as he stunned his enemies with the Conqueror's Haki, he would be able to seize the chance and kill them.
One could say, Lu Chen's prowess was already stronger than the chieftain thanks to these two skills.
However, it was also the two skills that made Lu Chen unsatisfied with the Bronze and Silver skills anymore. He wanted the Gold skills.
He thought a lot in his room.
When the sun slowly sets, someone came to look for Lu Chen.
It wasn't Xiao Wei, but a little barbarian girl who was only nine years old.
In the past three days, Lu Chen has killed almost every barbaric beast in the west mountain.
The death of the barbaric beasts and release of the territories have brought the Wild Bull Village with a lot of resources where a portion were given back to Lu Chen.
The large amount of medicinal herbs, ores, the beasts' flesh and blood have fully occupied Lu Chen's courtyard.
This makes it impossible for Lu Chen and Xiao Wei to organized them all. Hence, Lu Chen has already expanded his maid crew.
Outside of his room, there were six maids helping Lu Chen organizing the resources and cleaning the courtyard.
However, Lu Chen didn't pay too much attention to it. The only reason he hired the ladies was to get his house cleaned and organized so he could have time to train. He didn't hired them because he enjoyed giving commands.
Hence, he has given Xiao Wei full authority over the maids.
In his normal days, all Lu Chen do was training.
As long as I am strong enough, no one will dare to disobey me.
As he thought, Lu Chen spent most of his time in the backyard honing his sword skill.
It was often easy for him to lose track of time when he was training. Thus, it was normal to have someone to notify him about his schedule.
While he was thinking, the little girl said, "Master, it's time for the night patrol."
"Alright."
He answered and walked out of the room.
Then, Xiao Wei walked to his side and said, "Master, I've brought the herbal soup from Master Wuzu's place."
"Also, this is the clothes Master Wuzu made for you."
As he has maids now, Lu Chen didn't have to go to Wuzu and claim the herbal soup himself anymore.
However, right now, Lu Chen's eyes were drawn not on the herbal but by the clothes in Xiao Wei's hands.
It really is made!
