Witch Sang Qi

"Ultimate Hunter (2nd Ring Feat): Each day, you can obtain one Hunter's Mark. You can store up to twelve Hunter's Marks; when a target enters your field of vision, you can place a Hunter's Mark on it, causing the target to suffer three effects: Prey's Fear, Prey's Weakness, and Prey's Trail. You may also detonate a Hunter's Mark at the right time, dealing soul damage to the prey once."

"Prey's Fear: For the duration of the mark, the target will suffer unceasing primal fear."

"Prey's Weakness: For the duration of the mark, the target's mobility will be restricted, and its recovery ability greatly reduced."

"Prey's Trail: For the duration of the mark, you will always know the prey's exact location, no matter how far away it is."

This was probably the longest feat description Roger had ever seen.

But there was no doubt that Ultimate Hunter was an extremely powerful feat.

Among Roger's feats, only Ten Years One Sword could compare to it.

"Hidden Hero really is a late-game class."

Roger was gradually coming to appreciate the power of Sin Mark.

Every time he fully farmed a type of monster, he not only gained bonus attributes, but also received an additional feat as a reward.

A feat like Ultimate Hunter crushed the vast majority of ordinary feats in both practicality and effectiveness.

Take Wilderness Tracking, the ordinary feat Roger would obtain at level 15, for example.

It was also a 2nd Ring Feat.

But compared to Ultimate Hunter, Wilderness Tracking's tracking ability was far weaker, and it imposed extremely harsh requirements on the tracking environment.

As for hunting effects, Wilderness Tracking did not even qualify as a bargain-bin version of Ultimate Hunter.

After all, prey marked with a Hunter's Mark could not sense the hunter's presence.

Thus, they might spend the rest of their lives in fear and weakness.

"I wonder how much damage detonating the mark can do."

"Should I find a Gray Dwarf to test it on later?"

Roger rubbed his hands together eagerly.

Aside from Ultimate Hunter, Tenacious Physique was also updated with its final attributes once its toughness value had been maxed out.

"Tenacious Physique (Ultimate Version)"

"Your resistance to disease, plague, and ordinary toxins increases by 60%."

"Your tolerance for hunger, thirst, and pain increases by 80%."

"Your resistance to knockback, charging, and being pulled increases by 100%."

"You can move freely while severely injured."

"You can move freely while near death."

"After entering the death state, you gain 15 seconds of action time under Near-Death Immortality."

In other words, Roger could no longer be knocked back or sent flying.

No matter how others pulled or shoved him, his balance would not be affected.

Even severe injuries and death could not impair his ability to move, let alone ordinary wounds!

And the fifteen seconds of Near-Death Immortality was an attribute that exceeded his expectations.

Fifteen seconds was enough to do many things.

Including activating a complete high-tier Revival Scroll; or simply choosing to perish together with an enemy.

Used well, this trait would be enough to give many enemies a genuine surprise!

"I hereby declare that from now on, aside from Magic Explosion Frogs, Gray Dwarves are my good brothers too."

In high spirits, Roger returned to the training grounds of the Clear Spring Sect.

After resting briefly, he went over and tried, as usual, to knock on A Ba's head, but failed. Then he took out the White Raven's Crown and placed it atop his head.

"You have equipped White Raven's Crown."

"Qi Fate Synchronization in progress."

"Progress: 19/30"

An hour later.

"Today's Qi Fate Synchronization is complete."

"You are one step closer to becoming the master of the White Raven's Crown."

Seeing this, Roger let out a soft breath. He removed the White Raven's Crown and carefully examined it in his palm.

Ever since he had incorporated the Martial Artist into his Expansion Module, the contents of the White Raven's Crown, this strange artifact, had become visible.

From it, Roger learned that to become the master of the White Raven's Crown, he first had to complete thirty days of "Qi Fate Synchronization."

During those thirty days, he had to wear the White Raven's Crown for about an hour every day, allowing this strange artifact to form some mysterious harmony with him in terms of aura and fate.

Nineteen days had now passed, and he could indeed feel this strange artifact growing closer to him.

At times, he could even sense the flow of 'qi' within the White Raven's Crown.

It felt exactly the same as when he had touched the Immortal Leaving Wall.

This discovery greatly excited Roger.

If he truly managed to grasp 'qi' ahead of time through the White Raven's Crown, his strength would rise to another level.

That was precisely why he had chosen to incorporate the Martial Artist into his Expansion Module: to improve his immediate combat power.

Of course, having the Martial Artist identity brought another benefit.

It allowed him to perfectly conceal the special profession of Hidden Hero.

When traveling outside in the future, others would at most think Roger was merely a rare Martial Artist.

They would probably never guess that he was actually the sworn brother of Magic Explosion Frogs and Gray Dwarves!

The hunt for Gray Dwarves had finally come to an end.

Yet for Roger, it left behind an immense feeling of emptiness.

He had felt the same way after killing the Magic Explosion Frogs.

He simply could not summon any enthusiasm for anything.

Roger knew.

It was time to set off on a new journey.

He planned to leave the Underground City and return to the surface.

But before that, there was still one more thing he needed to do.

Kill someone.

Witch Sang Qi!

Near White Moon City lay a region filled with jagged, strange rocks.

At the center of the Stalagmite Forest was a small pitch-black lake.

Three wooden cabins stood by the lake.

Six tall figures could vaguely be seen standing outside the cabins, guarding them with unwavering loyalty.

Lines of information quietly appeared on the data panel.

"Sturdy Bear Goblin LV14 HP 206 Defense 14 Weakness: Water"

Six Bear Goblins.

They would not be easy to deal with.

Roger frowned, but did not rush in. Instead, he chose to wait quietly.

The owner of those three cabins was a witch named Sang Qi.

During Roger's hunt for Gray Dwarves, Sang Qi and the Bear Goblins under her command had ambushed him, nearly forcing Roger to reveal some of his trump cards.

Although Roger had ultimately managed to escape, he couldn't swallow this insult.

And that escape had left behind a hidden danger.

Witch Sang Qi had used the "Web Spell" on him.

Roger couldn't resist the Web Spell's natural stickiness, but the stickiness enhanced by magical effects was useless against him.

That was why he had escaped the Web Spell so easily.

Afterward, it could be explained away by saying that Roger's Toughness was very high.

But it would inevitably become a point of suspicion.

Roger had no intention of letting anyone discover his potential as a Mage Killer before he had fully developed!

Therefore.

Sang Qi had to die!...

To Roger, Sang Qi herself was nothing to worry about.

The troublesome part was the Bear Goblins she had raised.

Who knew what a reclusive witch like her was raising so many strong, healthy Bear Goblins for...

Roger yawned in boredom.

He was waiting for an opening.
