After Aslan left, Xi Wei started to analyze Zod’s soul…More precisely, his soul was already destroyed through the torture of the Heaven-Cursed Body.
Perhaps Lord Hades that had control over the laws of death would be able to repair this soul, but Xi Wei had no way of doing so.
In conclusion, Xi Wei couldn’t help but be curious about what the Heaven-Cursed Body exactly was.
Granted, Xi Wei had no intention of saving Zod in the first place.
Even though Xi Wei sympathized with him, but at the time his life was about to end, Zod was still a Tsujigiri that slaughtered many innocent lives.
What Xi Wei promised was only to pass down his skills and inheritance.
The way to do so, was of course to impart what Zod had learned over the course of his entire life to the players.
“I wouldn’t be able to pass down his experience…That’s understandable, if I could pass that down, I would be able to create an army of fake sword sages.” As a deity, Xi Wei of course could understand the skills that Zod had while he was analyzing his soul carefully, but he couldn’t impart it to the players. “It seems that I can only let them learn by themselves as they use these sword skills. Thankfully, he had a lot of experience so I only have to copy and paste…Huh, he had other theories other than that one about slashing everything? Hm, I’ll just stuff it all in here…”
That being said, many of these sword skills were quite complex, and even with the Rule of Skill, the players that chose this class would have to use their own experience and understanding of the sword to use them properly, and it’ll probably become the hardest class to play as.
Hence, the lower limit of this class would be low, while its upper limit would be extremely high. The other classes were created based solely on Xi Wei’s blessings, and without considering their equipment, the strength of each player at each level were all fixed at a certain degree.
This was the only class that mixed the experience of the swordsmanship that this world had together with Xi Wei’s blessings, and if the players practice it to the extreme, they would be able to surpass the limits set by their level, and could even battle a deity!
Of course, the probability of this happening was extremely small, and they wouldn’t be able to hurt him anyway because his divine power was mixed into the class itself.
“Thankfully I got a lot of divine power from Old Pot, or else it’ll probably be too hard for me to create another class by myself…”
Huh, now that he thought of it, this class would probably be ineffective against the lion, and perhaps because he mixed the divine power of justice in, they would probably be able to get critical hits on believers of evil deities?

As the players were finishing their daily quests and becoming stronger, a system notification popped up out of nowhere.
Different from the simple pop-up type window that appeared in the past, the system only notified that there was an update, while the actual contents of the update were posted on the forum and pinned at the very top so that all the players could see.
[The Temple of Justice has become our ally.]
[Temple of Justice reputation activated (Starting value: Friendly)]
[Now, players can obtain a certain degree of help from the Temple of Justice, and can obtain shelter in their temples.]
[You can accept ‘Bounty Quests’ from the outlooks set by the Temple of Justice, and can obtain rewards such as Reputation by killing the villains that are listed.]
[Please do not steal from the Temple of Justice using your status as an ally, you will become a red name—Yes, you!]
[Do not perform unlawful deeds at the Temple of Justice, as you will be cut down by the believers of the God of Justice.]
[New class change for Warriors: Swordmaster]
[Class Introduction]
[Swordmaster: One that has practised swordsmanship for their entire life, and has concluded that what was needed to hone body, technique and heart, one must have the courage to put themselves in danger. Hence, they sealed their own ability to use the shield and all sorts of defense, and focused entirely on battle style, truly a maniac of the sword!]
[Click here for the demonstration video.]
[Class change requirements: Any Warrior at Level 15 or higher may attempt the class-change quest.]
Because he didn’t absorb new divinities this time around, Xi Wei didn’t increase the level cap, and he figured that it was already enough for the players to work for at the current level cap of Level 60.
This was real life and not a game after all, so there weren’t so many monsters just lying there and waiting for the players to kill them. This was also the reason why the players would act like someone was their greatest enemy for stealing the kill of a monster…
The system of the alliance with the Temple of Justice was also created because he obtained a lot of divine power from Aslan, and wanted to provide some conveniences for the players.
Even though the lion god looked weak and gullible for being tricked by Xi Wei all the time, but he was actually many times stronger than Xi Wei was…
The new class that he added this time was naturally created after analyzing the remnants of Zod’s soul.
This was a class that only had sword skills and buffs, and didn’t provide any other perks in terms of other bladed weapons.
Similar to the other class change classes that Xi Wei created, he had already created three skill branches based on Zod’s experiences.
[Berserker], the branch that throws away defense in every shape and form, in exchange for sheer destructive power.
[Kengyoku], the branch that was the most similar to Zod’s, where the player would master many sword skills, defeating strength with sheer technique and skill, as well as detecting the enemy’s movements and counterattacking heavily.
Finally, there was [Ranbu] or [I don’t know any skills, but I’m going to beat you up!], the branch that didn’t focus at all on skills but instead focused on using the most underhanded ways possible in swordsmanship to defeat the enemy, with the only focus being to win a battle and not on skills.
After a few moments of silence, a great commotion broke out among the players.
Some of the Warrior players were celebrating as if it were a festival, thinking that their class was loved by the God of Games…They were the only class with two class changes!
Meanwhile, some of them lamented over class changing too quickly.
Even though the Spirit Swordsman class was strong too, but the Swordmaster class was extremely cool! Especially the Kengyoku demonstration video that showcased fluid sword skills and strong counterattacks while finding the weak links in the enemy’s defense, practically the coolest class out there!
None of them knew that this was arranged on purpose by Xi Wei. The Kengyoku branch in particular taught the players the sword skills directly, but how to deflect attacks, detect the enemy intent and to attack the enemies correctly had to be learned and picked up by themselves, not automatic like the other branches were.
If Xi Wei were to show the players the real situation that they had to go through, the players would probably not want to choose this branch at all.
As an easy example, if the other players were playing World of Warcraft, the players that chose the Kengyoku branch were playing Sekiro, and without prosthetic tools at that.

If he were to show the actual situation the players would be in if they chose this path, it could be titled ‘A Hundred Ways to Die: Player Edition’…
In the time that came after this, Sprite, the item that was the hardest to sell in the system shop would become one of the hottest selling items because it had the ability to reset skill points (Only one can be bought per day).
