Sword Saints Should Go Tank

Chapter 27

Although the night patrol was dangerous, Evils managed to infiltrate the village only once every few dozen days. Nothing should have happened to Ah’Chen on his first night patrol.

Master Wuzu asked the two barbarians, and their answer gave him a shock.

“What did you say? Ah’Chen went out to hunt the Evils? Why didn’t you two stop him?”

The two barbarians could only put up a helpless face at his anger.

“Master Wuzu, we wanted to, but Ah’Chen is too strong, we couldn’t stop him!”

Unlike Master Wuzu, who was horrified because Lu Chen went out to hunt the Evils, Chieftain Da Shi beside him was shocked to hear that Lu Chen had killed three Evils and one White Wander Roaming Spirit.

“If I recall correctly, a Barbarian Blood Warrior can only barely handle a Broken Soul without the totem pillar’s protection. Yet, Ahh’Chen has killed three Broken Souls and one Roaming Spirit. Such Vigor, he is almost on par with a Barbarian Body Warrior like myself. Are awakened warriors all so strong?”

While Da Shi was exclaiming, Master Wuzu grew even more anxious to hear his words.

“Ah’Chen is one of the awakened, he is, of course, strong. That’s why, we shouldn’t lose him. In this situation where the Ancestor’s Ground will not be lending us any help, Ah’Chen is our village’s only hope.”

The chieftain didn’t refute Wuzu’s claims. Clearly, after they heard about Lu Chen’s performance from the two barbarians, they were convinced of his potential.

At the same time, the chieftain had the same thought as Wuzu.

“The situation is getting more serious by the day, the village cannot lose Ah’Chen. He is our only hope.”

“This can’t go on. I will talk to Ah’Chen. He is not allowed to take risks anymore.”

…

The chieftain and Wuzu didn’t dare to let Lu Chen take anymore risk after knowing his potential.

However, Lu Chen was still oblivious to all this. Currently, he had just arrived home.

He walked through the door and realized his house was much cleaner and tidier than usual. Clearly, the little girl Xiao Wei had been busy the whole night since Lu Chen left for the night patrol.

Without any guilt of using child labor, Lu Chen went for a shower after ordering Xiao Wei to prepare him a meal.

While he was showering, Lu Chen exclaimed to himself, “It’s so much more comfortable when you are served.”

After he washed himself clean, Lu Chen didn’t go out immediately. Instead, he took out the little drum in his hands.

Ding—!

[System Message: Do you wish to spend 50 Mastery Points to identify the item?]

“No.”

Last night while the two barbarians were patrolling, Lu Chen took his time to inspect the bloody little drum and managed to figure out its basic power on his own.

Just like the drum-like Evil, this drum’s drumming can synchronize with my heartbeat and in turn manipulate it.

Honestly speaking, the little drum was still a useful tool, it could be used to manipulate his enemies’ heartbeats in battle.

As the barbarians relied on their bodies to fight, he could also use the drum on himself to speed up his heartbeat and blood flow. This could greatly increase his body strength.

However, after some thinking, Lu Chen chose not to.

“System, take the drum!”

[System Message: Host has sacrificed the little drum in exchange for 15 Spirit Orbs.]

Seeing the little drum disappear in his hands and 15 Spirit Orbs appearing in the system page, Lu Chen couldn’t help but smile.

The little drum is strong, but my own strength is much better than it. As for using it on myself, I don’t think I have the time to drum in the middle of battles.

Lu Chen preferred to rely on his own abilities instead of external equipement. Hence, he didn’t hesitate and chose to sacrifice the drum.

On top of that, if I recall correctly, exchanging a skill takes 5 Spirit Orbs. With these 15 Spirits Orbs, I can make three exchanges.

Lu Chen’s heart throbbed happily whenever he thought about the system’s skills.

The barbarians only relied on Vigor to fight, even I am the same too now. But that won’t be the case anymore soon. The Swordsman class will definitely have skills that can work against the Evils.

As he thought, Lu Chen immediately thought about the Armament Haki.

The three Hakis in the world of One Piece: Conqueror’s Haki, Observation Haki, and Armament Haki, were also part of the skills that Lu Chen and his team implemented into their mobile game. Moreover, they had classified the Hakis as general skills.

In their game, skills were divided into general skills and class skills.

As they were developers hoping to earn money from selling skills through microtransactions, they had spent a lot of time and effort in fleshing out their skill banks and system.

When Lu Chen came to this world with the system, it became his biggest trump card to secure a place here.

The Conqueror’s Haki increased one’s willpower, the Observation Haki empowered one’s detection ability, and the Armament Haki reinforced basic attacks and defenses.

Furthermore, the Armament Haki can hurt the Natural Devil Fruit Possessors. This means that it can also definitely harm the Evils. If I can get all three of the Hakis, the Evils will not be hard to deal with anymore.

The moment he thought about the skills, Lu Chen’s determination to hunt the Evils grew even stronger.

“Gruu…”

While Lu Chen’s willpower was burning high, his stomach growled in hunger.

To think that he just ate tens of kilograms of meat yesterday only to feel famished again now. Lu Chen had a new understanding of the energy consumption of the Barbarian Blood Warriors.

He didn’t say anything and left his room to the courtyard. There, there was already food cooked in the pot.

Just like before, he didn’t even use the chopsticks and used his hands to scoop the twenty kilograms of wild boar meat from the pot and feasted.

While feasting, Lu Chen was also thinking about his food supply.

In fact, even though a Barbarian Blood Warrior ate a lot, they could last for days and not feel hungry if they didn’t take part in any battles.

But not only did Lu Chen fight yesterday, he was also wounded.

Whether it be the human-head fireballs or the little drum, Lu Chen spent a lot of energy and Vigor to defeat them.

Of course, his opwerufl body also gave him a high recovery speed, he was already almost fully recovered from the battles. But the nutrients used to recover his loss of energy, Vigor, and heal his wounds would still have to be replenished.

This was why he was feeling hungry already despite all the meat he had consumed yesterday.

Normally, a dozen kilograms of meat would be sufficient for Lu Chen in his daily activities, even three days if he reduced his activity during that time.

But once he engaged in the battles, his energy consumption would rise sharply.

While he was troubled about his food supply, he didn’t slow down a bit in his feast. Soon, Lu Chen already finished eating all of the twenty kilograms of meat and only left a small bit for Xiao Wei.

Then, he didn’t even look at Xiao Wei and left with his metal sword.

He had no plan to rest. His Constitution of 44 points destined that as long as he was fully fed, he could go on for days without the need to rest.

However, first and foremost, he had to be fully fed. So now, Lu Chen was going out to find himself some food.

But surely, he wasn’t going to ask from the chieftain or Wuzu anymore. One had to know their limits when asking for benefits, and Lu Chen knew it very well.

This time, he was planning to head out and hunt some beasts in the wild.

Evils at night and beasts during the day. I’ll be busy from now on!
