Chapter 61: Monolith, Upgrade
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the two won saw that Zhou Chen did not take their threat to heart, they imdiately slashed at the rope of the stairs.
The rope of the bridge was not thick to begin with. Under their combined strength, it quickly broke and the entire bridge began to descend diagonally.
At this mont, Zhou Chen had only reached a little more than the middle of the bridge. His body quickly fell down the bridge. He imdiately pulled the rope of the bridge, but realized that the stone warrior was also on the bridge.
Even during this fall, this monster used the long saber to stab at Zhou Chen, forcing him to let go of the rope and dodge.
“Windrun!”
Zhou Chen dared to ignore the threat of the two won because he had the Windrun skill.
This skill could make him as light as a swallow, greatly reducing the danger of falling from a high place. Moreover, he had long checked the bottom with his Dark Vision. The bottom was only about 30 ters deep, and there were stones everywhere. It was not difficult for him to land safely.
After dodging the falling stone warrior’s attack, Zhou Chen, who had activated his Windrun skill, landed on the ground a few seconds after the stone warrior landed.
He only squatted slightly to cancel the impact, but the stone warrior was smashed into several pieces.
Its limbs were broken, and its body was split in two from the waist down. A few pieces of its head were missing as well. But even so, it did not die. It continued to struggle, as if it wanted to move towards Zhou Chen.
“You’re really tenacious…”
Zhou Chen could not help but be delighted when he saw this. When this stone warrior was intact, he had not been able to do anything to it. Now that it had beco like this, it was very easy for him to crush it.
The spear in Zhou Chen’s hand quickly turned into an ax. He walked to the stone warrior’s broken body and used the blunt side of the ax to hit its head repeatedly, slowly crushing it.
The stone warrior also wanted to counterattack, but its limbs were broken, and the saber had fallen to the side.
Dong dong dong.
After more than ten seconds, the stone monster was finally killed by Zhou Chen. The system also sent him a notification:
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Stone Warrior’s passive skill “Monolith I”. Do you want to absorb it?]
Zhou Chen imdiately perked up when he heard the na of the passive skill. He checked its description carefully.
[Monolith I
Type: Low Bronze passive skill
Physical and Magic damage taken is reduced by 15%.]
“Good stuff! Absorb!”
The absorption process was as fast as ever. After completing it, he checked his body carefully to see if there were any changes in his appearance.
In order to inspect his body, apart from using his Dark Vision, he also used the lighter as a source of light.
“There’s no obvious change in appearance…”
He felt relieved. He knew that not only had he beco more resistant to attacks, but he was also the sa old handso young man.
“I feel like I can already try blocking blades and knives bare-handed…”
Zhou Chen’s Monolith I passive skill provided a 15% decrease in physical damage. The Copper Skin Iron Bones passive skill he had obtained earlier provided a 20% decrease in physical damage. With the superimposition of both effects, the physical damage that landed on him would be directly reduced by more than a third. Such a high decrease in damage, in addition to the strength of his body due to his high physique, made him feel like he had already beco a tank.
“Let’s look at that scroll.”
In the dark valley, Zhou Chen took out the golden scroll he had obtained earlier and checked it.
[Upgrade Scroll
Type: Low bronze scroll
Use this scroll to level up a low bronze equipnt or a low bronze skill to mid bronze.]
“Upgrade scroll. It can upgrade equipnt and skills, quite a good stuff!”
Zhou Chen imdiately felt that it was worth it to spend so much effort to obtain this scroll.
“Should I keep it for now or use it imdiately? If I use it, what should I upgrade?”
He pondered.
“It seems like it can be used to upgrade both weapons or skills, but skills will last for longer…”
“Looks like both active skills and passive skills can be upgraded. This is it then.”
Zhou Chen quickly tore off the scroll according to the instructions and said inwardly, “Level up Windrun I.”
Soon, he sensed a mysterious power entering his body. He opened the interface and realized that there were already corresponding changes.

“Movent speed and usage ti have doubled, and I even gained the ability to float for a short period. What a gain!”
After the Windrun skill was upgraded, Zhou Chen felt its change. He imdiately tested it.
In an instant, his entire body was wrapped by a colorless and matterless airflow. He used a little strength and moved forward more than ten ters, and arrived at the edge of the stone valley with just a few more steps. He exerted strength under his feet and directly flew ten ters into the air. Then, he moved on the stone wall perpendicularly to the wall. In two seconds, he arrived at the cut part of the rope bridge.
The two won were no longer here. They probably thought that Zhou Chen was dead.
“If I ever et those two won again…”
Zhou Chen thought to himself.
The two won were not strong. It was okay that they left after not being able to deal with the stone warrior, but they had to hide behind and threaten him, wanting to seize the fruits of his labor. In the end, they even wanted to kill him. It could be said that they were mortal enemies.
Zhou Chen would definitely take revenge if he had the chance.
“Maybe they’re in that hall.”
He stopped using the Windrun skill and looked at the hall in the distance through the stone passage before quickly walking over.
