BXBX NOVEL Chapter 128 Leveling Up A Skill To Level 10!
-----
BAAM! A dozen of snakes dissipated into particles of light right away. I sighed in relief, looking at my own MP, I had yet to spend over half of it, so I\'ve been doing pretty well. However, I noticed that I had summoned a few Land Spirits, which summoned Earth Walls by themselves to protect us. However, through Spirit Enhancement, they gained the power to then shape these walls into giant stone fists and hit multiple targets at the same time, so they supported me while I protected Rita.
BAAAM!
BAAAM!
BAAAM!
"You\'re insanely good at fighting, Planta!" Sighed Rita while quickly enhancing her Staff with darkness and herself as well through the [Dark Spirit Possession] Skill, which enhanced all her physical stats temporarily. She swung that staff like a bat, hitting snakes to death constantly. Sometimes she shaped the tip of the staff like a deadly scythe, slicing through foes.
"I-It is all thanks to Farming Tool Usage! It is a great Skill even at Level 1! Maybe I should level it up all the way to ten, now that I think about it, it lacks any MP or Stat requirements…" I said while thinking this through, the power of my weapon was nice and it could shapeshift into farming tools to gain the Skill\'s effects.
"It doesn\'t sound so bad in such a situation as right now, the max level of Farming Tool Usage is 10, you need it to be level 10 to unlock the next Skill that you might be able to unlock for your next Class anyways! Most of the new Skills included in higher ranked Classes need previously learned Skills to reach certain levels!" Said the Guide Spirit, giving me the approval I required.
In terms of Magic Skills, the requirement of MP scales a lot with each level of new spells, so leveling up these skills will only give me expensive spells I can\'t use. In fact, the Wind Spirits are already MP draining enough. I require more ways to fight that don\'t spend MP, such as hitting foes with my Farming Tool. So getting [Farming Tool Usage] to Level 10 sounds pretty alright!
Ding!
[You have exchanged 18 Skill Points]
[The [Farming Tool Usage: Lv1] Skill has leveled up to Level 10 (MAX)!]

[Farming Tool Usage: Lv10]
As a Farmer, you have the innate ability to utilize Farming Tools. By using Farming Tools, you\'re able to enhance the richness of the soil and also the growth of plants, and you can take care of your plants health so they grow stronger. Farming Tool Proficiency increased by +10000, Farming Tool Power increased by +12000, Farming Tool Mastery increased by +100%. The mastery, proficiency, and power increases with each level.
Additionally, there is a 90% chance of inflicting [Stun] on a foe when hitting them with a Farming Tool for 3 Seconds, and there is a 70% chance of unleashing a [Shockwave] that spreads 50% of the damage you inflicted with the attack that triggered the effect, the shockwave can spread out up to 5 meters surrounding the target of your hit and hitting the ground with a Farming Tool has a 20% chance to turn it into [Healthy Soil].

What…? Amazing! I should had done this way sooner, but I was never truly confident about my fighting abilities, and well, obtaining this multi-use weapon that I can shapeshift around gave me such confidence. It is also rather nice that the weapon is covered by metal made out of the scales of the Lake Snake we defeated in the Mushroom Dungeon, which shape around easily when the wood does.
The new enhancement to this old Skill doesn\'t come without great new effects, as the Stun Chance was increased to 90%, and now there\'s another 70% chance to generate a shockwave that inflicts damage to any foes within my surrounding 5 meters, the damage done through the shockwave appears to be 50% of the total damage of the hit that caused the shockwave to occur, this is pretty sweet! And that\'s without even adding up the 90% Stun chance.
And… huh? There\'s a 20% chance to turn the ground into [Healthy Soil]? What\'s that all about? Well, it doesn\'t seem to be battle-oriented, maybe for farming. Well the Skill itself comes from the Farmer Class after all.
Without further ado, I decided to immediately try out this new power!
I shapeshifted the tool into a big shovel and hit the ground with it with everything I had!
BAAAAMMM!!!
TRUUUMM…!
Suddenly, shockwaves emerged from my surroundings, engulfing the snakes attempting to attack me and stunning them, making them all fall into the ground like flies! I immediately swung my shovel once more, quickly hitting multiple of them as another shockwave was generated, this time taking down dozens of snakes at a time!
TRUUUUMMM…!
"A-Amazing!" Rita couldn\'t help but stare at my dumbfoundedly.
"W-Woaaah!"
However, there was a problem! Whenever I hit the ground with the shovel and a shockwave was generated, the ground trembled and the shovel began to vibrate very quickly, making me lose balance. I seem to lack the STR stat to wield this power completely well, because I almost trip into the ground each time a shockwave is generated…! Nonetheless, this is the best I can do for now.
I continued swinging the shovel around and unleashing Stunning Shockwaves around, the snakes fell and quickly were picked up by my party of summons and tamed monsters, alongside Rita. Thanks to not needing to use MP for these devastating attacks, I was saving up a lot of it, and mostly using it to heal myself whenever snakes got a bite or two out of me. Their poison was also rather deadly, but nothing that the [Recovery Antidote Sap] Spell couldn\'t heal.
As I moved forward and cleaned the surroundings to open the way for the fairies to reach their golems, a sudden system notification popped up.
Ding!
[Due to your noble and kind-hearted soul, and your mastery over the Farming Tools and your great connection with nature, the Great Spirit of Harvest and Farming has taken a liking on you!]
"Huh?! What?!"
