Assassination and Class Advancement (Thanks: SX Ashes for the Alliance Leader)
Whether someone is strong or not depends on the version they're in; whether someone is handsome or not is a matter for life.
William has a very clear understanding of this kind of thing: if you're not handsome, no matter how fierce you are, you won't get the true love of a simp.
Light-attribute Battle Aura provides a significant boost to Dark Creatures.
And not just the light attribute.
Fire and lightning elemental Battle Aura are both more powerful against Dark Creatures, so it won't affect his ability to bully Dark Creatures in the future...
It all depends on your profession, the level of your martial arts techniques and meditation manuals, and your equipment attributes. A mere martial arts attribute won't have much of an impact on William, especially since he has no intention of joining the temple; he is a lord.
Moreover, Lightning Element Battle Aura is not only cool but also very practical, possessing numerous Negative Buff such as paralysis, burns, reduced resistance, muscle tearing, slowed reaction, and even Thunder explosion.
The moment William chose to change jobs.
Another figure appeared in the Black Night, silently creeping towards the pile of corpses, slowly approaching William from behind.
A powerful and decisive strike.
William's Battle Aura Shield was sliced open like tofu.
"They're here!" William, who had just noticed, changed his expression.
"Soul Shockwave."
Pfft.
The moment the blade pierced William's heart, an invisible energy spread out in all directions!
The assassin and the mountain of corpses were simultaneously blasted away, accompanied by a shower of corpses, like a rain of corpses falling from the sky.
The Assassin wasn't fatally injured. He tried to twist his body in mid-air to hide again, but William, with a sinister smile and blood licking from his lips, slowly turned his head.
The Assassin felt a chill run down his spine upon witnessing this scene.
Before he could react, a figure appeared out of nowhere, suddenly leaping into the air and appearing directly behind him.
Pfft.
It was also a single sword strike...
With nowhere to run, the Assassin's eyes widened as he stared at the protruding sword tip against his chest. He muttered, "How is this possible..."
Pfft.
Another knife slashed out from the front of his throat, and blood spurted out.
Alec squinted, pushed the dead assassin aside, breathed a sigh of relief, and casually tossed the body to the ground, making sure the unseeing eyes didn't see him.
This is the Shadow Assassin.
The real killer.
I'll never let you know who killed you, even if I die.
William took a deep breath.
He had said long ago that he could see a red name or a red question mark on anyone who was hostile to him!
Because he can use Insight!
He has discovered that someone has infiltrated Dawn City and is secretly observing him.
This was enough to alert William.
He suspected that the person who had once tried to kill him had reappeared, or that he was about to choose a more drastic assassination plan.
then.
He created an opportunity.
Let that person see me going to the grasslands alone!
He even sent only Alec to follow him, and told him not to show himself under any circumstances unless an assassin appeared.
"My lord, your wound?" Alec looked at William's pierced back, blood gushing out as if Pierce his heart. He couldn't help but swallow hard. As expected of the lord, he's Undying...
William coughed up several liters of blood, then raised his head and waved his hand. "I'm fine. Have you spotted any other Assassin?"
"No, because the moment the adult repelled that assassin was the perfect opportunity for the second Assassin to strike. Since no one appeared, it means there was no second assassin."
William breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
He walked towards the Assassin's corpse, sneering at the man, "Now that I know who sent you, I don't mind playing with you. What kind of skill is sneaking around? We can always start a war."
Alec remained silent.
Anyone would be enraged to face multiple deadly assassination attempts.
Moreover, the great and handsome Lord of Dawn City!
Alec only needed to be loyal to his wise lord; as for whether to wage war or assassinate, he only needed to obey orders.
Alec was even pleased that the Lord had only informed him in such a critical situation, which meant that the Lord trusted him.
Loyalty +300!
William glanced at Alec, whose loyalty was approaching 800 points.
No problem.
What he needed was a dog that saved him and then increased his affection for him.
"Hold on tight, I'm about to make my breakthrough!"
William's voice was icy.
Alec glanced at William in surprise, not expecting the Lord's breakthrough speed to be so fast. His admiration for William surged like a surging river...
Well, in short, the City Lord exudes a strong murderous aura. Just look at the mountains of corpses and rivers of blood here, and you'll understand. The Lord very angry and unhappy, and it's enough that he chooses to keep quiet.
[Whether to choose to change jobs]
William chose yes.
In an instant.
My stomach felt like it was on fire. The mutation of the Battle Aura attribute Pierce my entire body. First, it made my body adapt to the Thunder Battle Aura, and second, it changed the quality of the Battle Aura.
This caused William an indescribable pain.
Think about it.
He completely modified his body, solely to adapt to the Thunder Battle Aura.
It was even more painful than childbirth for a woman, and it left him with no way to avoid it.
then.
William could only lie on the pile of Murloc, his body crackling with electricity, convulsing, his eyes rolling back, and foaming at the mouth...
There's no other way; Player can set a pain limit.
But NPCs really can't change this data.
But gradually...
William was actually feeling more and more comfortable. What's that saying again?
If you can't resist, then just lie down and enjoy it...
The initial phase of the body modification was intense pain, followed by comfort, and then even more comfort. The endless pain gave him an indescribable sense of satisfaction; if Alec hadn't been there, he would have groaned out loud...
He felt a surge of pleasure throughout his body.
Fortunately, it didn't last long.
William, gradually regaining control of his body, stood up again. He clenched his fist. "It feels like I could kill an Orc with one punch."
Immediately afterward, his body erupted with Thunder Battle Aura, instantly forming a new Battle Aura Shield.
Aside from a thin layer of Thunder Battle Aura clinging tightly to the body's surface, there was also some overflowing Battle Aura that dissipated into the sky like flames.
This made it appear as if blue flames were burning on the surface of his body.
One word.
So cool!
With the complete fusion of Thunder and Battle Aura, William successfully leveled up to level 40, thus becoming Intermediate-Class Professional.
For Professional with strong bloodline potential, the difference between intermediate and Low-Class is like night and day!
Remember this.
For NPCs.
Especially for Intelligent Races like humans, a high bloodline often signifies a good birth, which allows them to learn better Cultivation Technique and possess better equipment.
Low bloodline potential, ugly, poor family, and apart from Luck Value, they have almost no future and are all cannon fodder.
The two showed such a large difference even at the same stage.
After a while, the gap will become more and more obvious, which is the key reason why Player can only choose to gang up on Epic-Class and Legendary-Class NPCs.
It's because they know that this type of NPC is too difficult to handle with skill, unless you make absolutely no mistakes...
"Now that I've reached the intermediate level, I finally dare to be carefree..." William gazed into the distance.
"The game has only just begun..."

The number of favorites is still too low, only 8000+. I need to keep trying to get featured while the word count is still low, otherwise... it'll be disastrous once it's published.
