"The challenge begins. Level 5: one Level 1 Intermediate Zombie."
Wen Yu looked relaxed. The term "intermediate" simply meant its physique was average for Level 1, only about five to nine points.
A flash of white light, and a gaunt figure appeared. Before anyone could get a good look at this level of zombie, Wen Yu dashed forward, saber in hand.
This time, Wen Yu didn't go for a showy vertical slice. Instead, he executed a standard horizontal slash across the zombie's neck.
The freshly-spawned zombie hadn't even managed a good look at the world before its head was lopped off. Its mouth opened and closed, but no sound emerged.
This zombie was not particularly robust.
"Challenge successful. Reward: two Level 1 magic crystals of any attribute. Do you wish to challenge the next level?"
"Continue."
