Sun Fei suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
No wonder Elena was unable to cultivate the Dou Qi manual created by Sun Fei, nor the simplest Dou Qi manuals that had been passed down for a long time in the Azeroth Continent. It turns out that the Diablo World had already predetermined the development and advancement path of mercenaries, and it was a very good path.
Which attribute from the seven professions should I choose?
Sun Fei thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to Elena beside him, who seemed completely unaware of what was happening. Sun Fei knew that Elena couldn't hear what the NPC Asheara was saying to him, nor could she see the seven floating images appearing before her eyes. So he explained what had just happened to Elena, wanting to hear the beautiful mercenary's choice, since this choice would determine her future path as a martial artist.
Elena gripped her longbow, gently plucking the bowstring. Her fingers, as white and delicate as mutton-fat jade, showed no calluses from years of archery practice; instead, they possessed an indescribable refinement and elegance. She listened attentively to Sun Fei's assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the seven professions' skills and attributes. Then, under Sun Fei's concerned gaze, she feigned deep thought, before finally bursting into a mischievous laugh, " Alexander, you help me choose."
This was the first time Elena had joked with Sun Fei.
Seeing the fearless and valiant Valkyrie who had roamed the Diablo Continent Zongheng with demons and monsters suddenly reveal a mischievous smile before him, Sun Fei was stunned. He felt an unprecedented beauty burning into his eyes, giving His King the illusion that everything in the world paled in comparison.
Ultimately, Sun Fei chose the Paladin class as Elena's second bloodline attribute.
Among the seven classes, the Paladin, while not as unpredictable as the Assassin or as physically strong as the Barbarian, excels in both offense and defense, possessing powerful self-healing and combat support abilities. This makes them a good match for Sun Fei. Furthermore, Elena's current archer path is similar to that of the Amazon and Mage classes. Sun Fei doesn't want his woman to be like a Druid, raising birds and wolves, nor does he want her to associate with corpses and skeletons. Therefore, the Druid and Necromancy classes must be eliminated. After much consideration, the Paladin remains the most suitable.
After the selection was confirmed, a wisp of white light floated out from the NPC Asheara and entered Elena's brow.
"It seems like my mind has been filled with many things I've never had before..."
Elena quickly noticed the changes in her body.
It was a strange feeling that was hard to describe, just like when Sun Fei Grant the Lampard with the attributes of stars. The reward for this mission planted a new seed of power in the body of the beautiful mercenary. Only by continuing to cultivate, kill monsters and accumulate experience points can this seed of power take root, sprout and grow into a towering tree.
The two then began to complete the third task at [ Kurast Docks ].
This quest is called [ Khalim's Will ]. It's a collection-type quest and very troublesome to complete. You need to go to places like [ Spider Forest ], [ Flayer Jungle ], [ Flayer Dungeon ], and [ Docks Sewers Level 2 ] to collect different items, and then combine them with [ Horadric Cube ] to create [ Khalim's Flail ].
This [ Khalim's Flail ] possesses incredible power; it can be used to shatter the [ Compelling Orb ] protecting the great villain Mephisto, and is closely related to the final quest in Act III's world map: [Slay the great villain Mephisto ].
In the past few days of killing monsters and leveling up, Sun Fei has already collected the first few items. Since he has to collect items in different locations, traveling back and forth between these locations takes a lot of time, so the time required to complete the task is extremely long. Currently, Sun Fei is still missing the last item.
For the next four hours, Sun Fei and Elena fought their way through monsters and leveled up, heading towards their final item objective, [ Khalim's Heart ]. The two explored the second level of the dark sewers, their bodies covered in the blood and bone fragments of demonic monsters, and finally collected [ Khalim's Heart ] before the game's time limit for the day expired.
Time is limited.
Instead of returning to town to synthesize the [ Khalim's Flail ] to continue the next quest, Sun Fei spent over 50,000 gold coins at the mysterious, cold voice location to exchange for some urgently needed potions in case the Chambord City side suffered injuries during tomorrow's Empire Ranking Competition, and then left the Diablo World.
At this time, it was already evening in the real world.
In the depths of winter in the empire, the days are short and the nights come exceptionally early; darkness quickly envelops the land.
Upon returning to the King's tent, his personal guard, Torres, came to report to Sun Fei Angela had received an invitation from Princess Tanasha in the afternoon to visit the Princess's residence in the capital. Later, a guard from the Princess's residence came to inform him that Her Highness the Queen would be attending a banquet at the Princess's residence that evening and would be staying overnight in the capital.
Sun Fei frowned slightly, having guessed somewhat what the Eldest Princess meant.
However, it's good for Angela to attend such grand gatherings of nobles; it'll broaden her horizons. If she enjoys these parties and banquets, Sun Fei is willing to let her attend more in the future. Sun Fei is doing everything he can to ensure his future princess lives a happy and carefree life.
After a simple dinner, the entire Chambord camp was immersed in a busy and intense period of cultivation.
After obtaining the new cultivation manual, Lampard and the others began cultivating with great enthusiasm, each eager to increase their strength as quickly as possible and sweep aside other vassal states in the upcoming Empire Ranking Competition, seizing control of the newly formed legion to their respective King.
As the night wore on, countless stars shone brilliantly under the winter sky.
As usual, Sun Fei switched to [ Assassin Mode ], his figure as swift as lightning, turning into a wisp of green smoke, silently leaving the twenty-mile-long affiliated state-owned area, and once again arriving at the [ Giant Pit Battlefield ] in the Moro Mountains, awaiting the arrival of the mysterious powerhouse.
For Sun Fei, sparring with the mysterious expert here every night was a rare opportunity to accumulate combat experience.
His King treated the Commanding Gods powerhouse like the boss at the end of each level in the Diablo World. This experience of fighting hard when one's strength is inferior to the opponent is a rare warm-up for Sun Fei's challenge against the boss of the Diablo World, and it is also easier to stimulate all of Sun Fei's potential.
For some reason, the mysterious expert hasn't shown up all night.
In [ Assassin Mode ], Sun Fei spent less than five minutes passing through the most powerful magic circle outside the [ Giant Pit Battlefield ], consuming one-third of his Spiritual Power.
As Sun Fei's strength continued to improve, his Spiritual Power also advanced rapidly under the cultivation of the forging methods recorded in the Purple Skill Of. This directly resulted in the dozen or so protective magic arrays outside the [ Giant Pit Battlefield ] posing little difficulty for him; he could easily pass through them. This also meant that relying on magic arrays to consume Spiritual Power and then using extreme training to improve Spiritual Power was no longer very effective. Consequently, the [ Giant Pit Battlefield ] no longer held much significance for Sun Fei.
If it weren't for the mysterious powerful figure, Sun Fei would never have come to the [ Giant Pit Battlefield ].
Two hours later, just when Sun Fei thought the mysterious expert would unbelievably break his promise, that cold and indifferent figure finally appeared in a flash.
As with many times before, the mysterious expert tossed Sun Fei a beautifully crafted notebook as a gift.
Sun Fei took the book and quickly flipped through it. He discovered it was a collection of notes detailing dozens of advanced Dou Qi Dou Qi. Each technique was clearly and thoroughly analyzed, noting its strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. What excited Sun Fei even more was that the author of this book was none other than Emperor Yassin. Compared to some ordinary Dou Qi manuals, this book was clearly more valuable, because an advanced Dou Qi technique was a powerful martial arts skill, capable of even helping lower-level warriors defeat stronger opponents.
For Sun Fei, this notebook would allow him to have a clearer understanding of Dou Qi techniques, which means that he could create more high-level Saint killing moves based on [ Assassin Mode ] by drawing on these advanced Dou Qi techniques.
"Thank you so much, senior." Sun Fei beamed.
Last night, Sun Fei deliberately muttered a few words in the ear of the mysterious expert, such as "Oh dear, how am I supposed to live without advanced Dou Qi techniques?" and "If only I could master a few advanced Dou Qi techniques..." Sure enough, the mysterious expert did not fail to do so. The next day, he took out a notebook that excerpted, analyzed, and explained at least sixteen advanced Dou Qi techniques.
After this period of contact, Sun Fei no longer felt the initial restraint when facing the mysterious expert. He discovered that although the mysterious expert was sparing with words and seemed to be suffering, he was definitely a kind person with a cold exterior but a warm heart. Therefore, Sun Fei now acted extremely friendly and relaxed when facing the mysterious expert, just like when facing his closest elder.
Next up was another ten-move agreement.
Amidst the swirling dust, Sun Fei was beaten to a pulp by the mysterious expert, covered in dirt and grime, barely managing to survive without suffering broken bones or coughing up blood.
Ten minutes later, Sun Fei was so exhausted that he was panting heavily, his hands on his knees.
He had now given up speculating about the mysterious expert's true strength, because no matter how much Sun Fei's Sun Fei had suddenly improved recently, the mysterious expert could easily beat him into a helpless state, like a dead dog. Clearly, the gap between the two was still immeasurable. Sun Fei was almost certain that the mysterious expert had at least reached the Moon Class, but he didn't know which level within the Moon Class.
See you tomorrow night.
After the exchange, just like every time before, the mysterious expert pointed out some shortcomings in Sun Fei's performance and then went to prepare.
Sun Fei chuckled, grinning mischievously as he leaned closer and began muttering, "Oh dear, I wonder what secrets Emperor Yassin's signature move, [ Dragon Fist ], holds. Ah, I really want to see the manual for [ Dragon Fist ]..."
The third update: Poor Daozi hasn't gotten home yet; he's still on the train.
