Chapter 49 - The Godslayer’s Growth

Chapter 49: The Godslayer’s GrowthAlthough Xiao Ming was only at level 6, and even with the level stamp boosting him to level 16, his attribute and skill levels remained unchanged. As a result, his actual combat strength was equivalent to around level 10. 

Participating in a large-scale special instance like the Shattered Heaven Realm would undoubtedly drag the team down.

However, the senior students from the Jixia Academy didn’t shun Xiao Ming for this; instead, they were more than willing to bring him along. 

They all understood that once Xiao Ming grew stronger, he would play an extremely important role, both for the academy and for humanity.

Xiao Ming was genuinely grateful for this.

He cast a cold glance at Li Yang. Although he was just a freshman who had recently joined the academy, the spirit of mutual support and camaraderie at Jixia Academy resonated with him deeply. 

As an orphan, Xiao Ming had never experienced such warmth before, but now he felt the comfort of belonging to a family. He had already come to see himself as part of Jixia Academy, sharing both honor and disgrace. 

Naturally, he harbored a strong animosity towards the students of the Imperial Academy, especially towards Li Yang, whose arrogant attitude grated on Xiao Ming’s nerves.

Feeling the weight of his weakness for the first time, Xiao Ming’s gaze darkened. Yet, despite this sense of helplessness, his heart brimmed with confidence. Though he was weak now, only at level 6, he knew he could grow stronger—faster than anyone could imagine.

One instance in the Shattered Heaven Realm would be enough to make him immensely more powerful.

In fact, Xiao Ming had a secret—one that no one else knew. During the awakening ceremony, while awakening as a Demon Hunter, he had also awakened a hidden special talent: Godslayer Growth.

Godslayer Growth allowed Xiao Ming to absorb the spirit essence of Void-type elite monsters upon killing them, granting him 15 random attribute points.

Fifteen extra attribute points! This special talent was overwhelmingly powerful. In theory, Xiao Ming’s attribute points could grow infinitely, without any upper limit, as long as he killed enough Void-type elite monsters. 

In extreme circumstances, he could reach level 40 with the attribute points of someone at level 100. If Xiao Ming ever reached level 80… his attribute points would be unimaginable.

This is why Xiao Ming kept his Godslayer Growth talent a secret from everyone; only he knew its full potential. However, the talent required him to kill elite Void-type monsters, which usually appeared on the Void Frontlines, and most of these elites were around level 40.

It would still be a while before he could hunt them down. But with the appearance of the Shattered Heaven Realm instance, things were different. The background of this instance involved the Void invading the ancient royal court, so the instance was filled with Void-type monsters. 

It even contained numerous elite Void monsters between levels 15 and 20! In other words, this Shattered Heaven Realm instance seemed tailor-made for Xiao Ming. His Demon Hunter abilities already granted a 500% damage increase against Void monsters. 

Combined with his Godslayer Growth talent, Xiao Ming could continuously gain extra attribute points as he cleared the instance.

According to Xiao Ming’s estimates, just by entering the Shattered Heaven Realm, he could easily gain thousands of extra attribute points. What did that mean? At level 6, he would have attributes comparable to someone at level 40 or even level 50. Just the thought of it made Xiao Ming feel dizzy with excitement.

Once he completed the Shattered Heaven Realm instance, his newfound strength would allow him to directly hunt elite Void monsters on the frontlines, growing even more powerful.

Within ten years, Xiao Ming would become one of the world’s superpowers—perhaps even surpassing the empire’s founding emperor, Ying Zu.

And all this would come true if he could just enter the Shattered Heaven Realm. Sometimes, Xiao Ming couldn’t help but wonder if he was truly destined for greatness. 

After all, right after awakening Godslayer Growth, the Shattered Heaven Realm appeared—like the heavens offering him a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep.

No matter what, his bright future lay right in front of him, waiting for him to take a step forward. Xiao Ming couldn’t help but look towards the entrance of the Shattered Heaven Realm. 

He believed that with such a heaven-defying talent bestowed upon him, he bore an immense responsibility. Once he grew stronger, he would wipe out the Void and create a future where humanity no longer lived under its shadow.

Li Yang narrowed his eyes as a terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon the area. Not only he, but everyone present felt it too.  Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As they looked up, they saw a handsome and regal young man slowly approach, surrounded by a group of powerful figures.

Beside the young man stood an elder in a tailored suit, his expression cold and indifferent. This elder was clearly a level 58 powerhouse—the source of the overwhelming pressure.

Everyone was shocked. A level 58 expert was an exceedingly rare sight. They all turned their attention to the young man. Who could this person be, to have a level 58 powerhouse as his servant?

Upon recognizing the young man’s face, Li Yang’s expression instantly shifted to one of nervous reverence. Forgetting the people from Jixia Academy, he immediately rushed forward, bowing before he even reached the young man.

“Young Master Qin!”
