NOVEL NEXT Chapter 30 - Zhang Mengmeng's Growth and Number One Title
Among the many passive skills, Blood Drain is one with extremely powerful sustainability.
For solo players without a priest to cast healing spells, Blood Drain is definitely a godsend.
Especially since Jiang Cheng also has the Rage Slash passive area-of-effect skill!
【Blood Drain】
Quality: Rare
Skill Type: Passive
Skill Effect: 0.5% of damage dealt is converted to restore own HP.
Stepping back three paces, Jiang Cheng looked over the data description for Blood Drain, and the result… was not very ideal.
He remembered the Blade Master’s Blood Drain skill started at 5%, but this one he obtained only had 0.5%, a tenfold difference.
“It’s probably because there were too many Blood Leeches, so the skill distributed by the System has been nerfed.”
After pondering for a bit, Jiang Cheng didn’t dwell on it too much. As long as it could evolve, there were no trash skills in his hands.
After advancing and breaking through, maybe it would have an effect beyond expectations, perhaps even stronger than the Blade Master’s Blood Drain passive!
[Spending 1000 Evolution Points, Blood Drain upgrade successful, current level is 2.]
“Spending 2000 points…”
…
[Spending 7000 Evolution Points, Blood Drain upgrade successful, current level is 7.]
【Blood Drain】
Quality: Rare
Skill Type: Passive
Skill Level: 7
Skill Effect: 3.5% of damage dealt is converted to restore own HP.
After spending 36,000 Evolution Points, exhausting all the Evolution Points he just earned, the Blood Drain skill finally had some results.
“With 3.5% Blood Drain, I can ignore the Blood Leeches’ forced HP reduction effect.”
He had been worried that the forced HP reduction would make him unable to recover in an instant.
But now, with Blood Drain, as long as he slashed down, he could slaughter hundreds of Blood Leeches. His HP recovery might even be faster than the HP reduction.
“Splat! Splat! Splat!”
Stepping on the corpses of three Blood Leeches, Jiang Cheng advanced again to test out the effects.
This time, he didn’t kill one with each step, but directly crossed five steps.
Instantly, Blood Leeches swarmed out from the tree roots and branches in a thick mass, as if covering the sky, a preliminary estimate of at least a thousand.
“Buzz buzz…”
“–1.”
“–1.”
“–1.”
Countless Blood Leech wings vibrated by his ear bones. Hundreds of Blood Leeches attached to his body, and hundreds of wounds also appeared above his head.
His HP also instantly dropped from 1730 by a third, falling to 1100, giving Zhang Mengmeng a fright.
But…
The next moment!
“Poof!”
A blood-red blade light flashed. The Blood Hell Sword slashed out, Jiang Cheng’s eyes focused, slicing the vital point of the Blood Leeches’ heads.
Critical hit, vital point attack!
“–1076!”
“–172!”
“–172!”
…
” 37.”
” 6.”
” 6.”
As three hundred Blood Leeches were instantly wiped out, to Zhang Mengmeng’s astonishment, a large number of blood-colored values from Blood Drain’s recovery burst out above Jiang Cheng’s head.
His health… was instantly refilled.
“Phew… that scared me to death.”
Zhang Mengmeng patted her chest, heaving a long sigh of relief with lingering fear.
She had thought that Skeleton Big Brother felt that she was too much of a burden and was preparing to go die without her.
Who would have thought that Skeleton Big Brother actually had Blood Drain…
“Blood Drain?” Zhang Mengmeng stared at Jiang Cheng’s heroic figure slaughtering the Blood Leeches in a daze.
“Holy… Skeleton Big Brother evolved Blood Drain again? This… this is too…”
Zhang Mengmeng was a bit stunned. Every time she thought she had seen Jiang Cheng’s limit, in the next instant, he evolved again…
Jiang Cheng was always growing stronger, always able to give her endless surprises.
While she… was hard to put into words.
“No, I must get stronger too. I absolutely can’t drag Skeleton Big Brother down.”
At this moment, Zhang Mengmeng clenched her little pink fists, a flash of determination on her exquisite face.
After putting on the Robe of Misfortune and Boots of Misfortune given by Jiang Cheng, her attributes immediately rose by a huge margin.
Overjoyed, she hurriedly checked her stats.

“I can’t believe it… am I already this strong?”
Zhang Mengmeng’s eyes went wide.
Let’s not even mention the level. At level 17, when even the God of Levels Xia Dongli was only level 14, no one could surpass her right now.
And with Skeleton Big Brother’s current monster killing speed, she estimated… in the short term, no one would be able to overtake her.
Her HP hadn’t increased much, that all came from leveling.
But… the attack…
“Oh my… 135 physical attack.”
Zhang Mengmeng quickly opened the attack ranking to check. Her name was impressively printed in first place!
That name, radiant with golden flowing light, overwhelmed her gaze with its brilliance.
The second place was Sword God – Xie Changkong, Blade Master, with 120 attack.
Third place was Fist Sage – Zhen Shanhe, Demon-Subduing Monk, with 119 attack.
She didn’t look closely at the names after that.
In any case, she was very clear that as a mage class, relying on equipment boosts, her physical attack actually surpassed two great gods…
After the server opened, the various leaderboards also appeared one after another.
She quickly switched over and started looking at the other rankings.
For defense, she only had 95, not even past 100. She didn’t make it on.
But… other players hadn’t either.
And she was most likely the closest one.
The weapon leaderboard, forget it, her weapon… was terrible.
The other leaderboards hadn’t opened yet. After glancing at them, she stopped.
However, to her surprise, there was a title she could choose in her titles column.
Number One Under Heaven!
【Number One Under Heaven】
Quality: Supreme Shiny
Overview: The title obtained for ranking first on the level leaderboard, duration 3 hours, 1 hour 59 minutes remaining.
Attributes gained when equipped: Luck 20, Attack 50, Defense 50, Critical Rate 30%.
Under Heaven: Under all of heaven, I am supreme!
Number One: As swift as the wind, elusive as the clouds, who can keep up with my divine path?
“I can’t believe it… this title is so powerful.”
Zhang Mengmeng covered her little mouth, very surprised as she looked at this title.
Unfortunately, it only lasts for 3 hours, and the rankings refresh every three hours. If she can’t keep up, it will be revoked.
“Perhaps… after Skeleton Big Brother can no longer evolve, I will be left behind?”
Zhang Mengmeng wasn’t too regretful about this. After all, she wasn’t someone who liked to show off. Before, she just wanted to earn some money.
She was also very clear that being able to have such great achievements now was entirely because of Jiang Cheng.
Even if Jiang Cheng couldn’t evolve anymore, she would still consider him her best friend for life.
[Congratulations on leveling up. HP and MP 100, Attack 10, Magic 1. Current level 18.]
“Well, I guess for a while, I won’t be able to get rid of this title…”
