War Trampling

This is the surprise I was hoping for!

With this item, can I not obtain an additional Divine Gaze Gem?!

Although waves of emotions surged within Jiang Han, he remained calm on the surface. He knew that the scroll was not in his hands at the moment and there was still a possibility that the big man could take it away.

It's inevitable; this person has poor discernment. How can a replicated scroll, something like trash, compare to the value of a hidden profession?

Blind and ignorant, that's what this kind of person is.

"Brother, what are you thinking? At our level, bluntly speaking, we are just ants, cannon fodder. The real strong can easily kill us with a single blow. Instead of thinking about using hidden professions to accelerate our strength, are we here in the Demon God Treasury just to get a scroll?" Jiang Han shook his head and advised.

As the big man came to his side on his initiative, Jiang Han's conversation didn't seem forced.

"This..."

The big man scratched his head, looking simple-minded, and spoke in a rough tone, "You're right, but if this scroll is used well, it may not be inferior to hidden professions."

"Your words are not wrong. For the strong, this scroll is a good thing. For us, we're afraid of dying before even using it, benefiting others for nothing." Jiang Han advised in a friendly manner, not trying to forcibly lower the value of the scroll but making the big man see the reality.

If he kept insisting that the scroll was rubbish and hidden professions were better, even a foolish person like the big man could understand his intentions.

"..."

Hearing this, the big man frowned, his expression changing, seemingly unable to make a decision.

"Really foolish!"

Jiang Han sneered, muttered under his breath, then turned and left. "Even if the replicated scroll is rare, isn't one's own strength more important?"

As Jiang Han left, the big man hesitated in front of the cabinet for a long time. Finally, he took a more favored Class Transfer Certificate and put the replicated scroll back in its place.

Good brother, sharp-eyed!

Observing nearby, Jiang Han quickly went to take the replicated scroll after the big man left, then placed Dragon Break Slash back in its original position on the third floor.

"Phew..."

Exhaling lightly, Jiang Han felt relieved.

Two Divine Gaze Gems would increase the probability of obtaining an SS-level skill. If he was lucky enough, it could even be two SS-level skills!

Isn't this defying gods and Buddhas?

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Please note, you have one minute remaining in the Demon God Treasury!

"Snap!"

Suddenly, Jiang Han's shoulder was tapped.

Turning around, he found it was the robust big man he had successfully persuaded earlier.

"Something?" Jiang Han asked.

"Brother, you're right!" The robust big man smiled. "That scroll indeed has lower value than hidden professions!"

"...Naturally."

Jiang Han appeared calm.

In fact, he didn't think he really tricked the big man. He possessed the Dark Swordsman, so he looked down on ordinary hidden professions. However, for the big man, the scroll indeed had lower value than hidden professions.

The robust big man extended his hand, grinned foolishly, "Thanks for your suggestion, let's be friends. I'm Fei Qi!"

Insightful Eye!

[Rampager Fei Qi] (Golden-tier BOSS)

Level: 55

Health: 4,000,000

Attack: 3650-3800

Defense: 2200-2350

Skills: [Innate Divine Power], [Rampage Combo], [Boiling Blood]

Introduction: Hating the Holy See and becoming a traitor, successfully capturing the third-level town, Tianhai Town, gaining qualification to enter the Demon God Treasury.

...

As a Golden-tier BOSS, his strength was not low. It was much stronger than the Phoenix and Lanta that he had killed, explaining why he could easily capture a town.

"Jiang Han." Jiang Han shook hands with him.

If it weren't for Fei Qi's unintentional "help," he wouldn't have obtained the replicated scroll. Also, the line in his introduction, "Hating the Holy See and becoming a traitor," resonated with him.

Divine Knight Herbert!

Thinking of the storyline BOSS who repeatedly attacked him, Jiang Han felt irritated.

"If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to Tianhai Town to find me. I'll definitely protect you!" Fei Qi guaranteed, patting his chest.

Jiang Han smiled, "Thanks."

Although NPC growth wasn't like players, they would still grow. Moreover, Fei Qi obtained a hidden profession, so his strength should improve significantly.

He wasn't as disdainful of NPCs as some players were, thinking they would eventually die at their hands.

After a small episode, the two bid farewell and left the Demon God Treasury separately.

"How was the harvest?" Cheryl asked.

Jiang Han replied, "Not bad."

"That's good. Let's go back. Your current strength is insufficient, and staying here is too dangerous."

"Alright."

...

Leaving the Demon Mist City, they headed south, returning to the Ghost Swamp.

"I have a task for you, which might be difficult. Are you interested?" Cheryl asked.

Jiang Han nodded, "No problem."

"Hmm..."

Cheryl pondered for a moment and said seriously, "You mentioned riding, and it has sparked some interest in me. Speaking of it, I have become the Lord of the Seaheart City and do need a suitable mount for transportation."

"Lord, is there anything I can do for you?" Regarding Cheryl becoming the Lord of the Seaheart City, Jiang Han was not surprised and roughly understood the content of the "Light and Dark Struggle."

In the dark camp's territory, apart from the Gloomy City and Demon Mist City, there were no other cities. This large-scale siege war covering the entire Tianheng Continent directly occupied a large portion of the original territory belonging to the light camp.

This meant that the two major factions would start attacking each other in the next storyline.

"..."

Cheryl was somewhat speechless, "Don't call me Lord, it's a bit uncomfortable."

"Master, what is the task you mentioned..."

"In the Purple Flame Bamboo Forest near Yun Beast City, there is said to be a hidden area. Precious and rare beasts exist in that area. Go find it and accurately inform me of the location." Cheryl explained in detail.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Do you accept the quest [Find the Hidden Area] (Difficulty: A)?

"Yes!"

[Journey to Find the Hidden Area] (Difficulty: A)

Introduction: The reason why it is called a hidden area is because it is not something anyone can find.

Task requirement: Find the hidden area.

Task reward: One rare skill book.

"Go."

Cheryl turned and left, disappearing into the thick fog.

Subsequently, Jiang Han set off alone for Yun Beast City.

"Hiss..."

On the way, Jiang Han took out the replicated scroll and tore it apart.

"Swoosh!"

The next moment, a brilliant seven-colored light swept out from the scroll.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: You have used [Replicated Scroll]. Please take out the item you want to duplicate from your inventory within ten seconds

, otherwise, it will be considered as giving up!

Receiving the prompt, Jiang Han quickly took out the Divine Gaze Gem from his bag.

The seven-colored light, seemingly full of spirituality, quickly flowed into the Divine Gaze Gem. The entire replication process lasted for two minutes. When the light dissipated, Jiang Han held another Divine Gaze Gem in his hand!

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Replication successful. You have obtained one Divine Gaze Gem!

Looking at the two black-and-white gems melded together, Jiang Han's heart pounded, his emotions fluctuating, hard to keep calm. "Should I take a gamble..."

Since he was going to gamble, it had to be a big one. SS-level skills couldn't satisfy his appetite!

In all honesty, the most reasonable way would be to wait until he had a sufficient number of S-level skills and then use the Divine Gaze Gem to try to fuse an SS-level skill. However, dangers lurked everywhere in the game, and who knew if he might suddenly die before using it.

Unable to bear it any longer, no need to bear it any longer!

"Even if it's not SS-level, a skill fused with the Divine Gaze Gem should be stronger than the original!" Jiang Han forcefully found a reason to convince himself.

Damn it, let's do this!

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Do you want to use the item [Divine Gaze Gem]!

"Yes!"

Jiang Han, suppressing the excitement in his heart, chose to confirm.

In the next moment, the gem shattered, turning into a peculiar energy of black and white, directly drilling into his body.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Please choose the skills you want to fuse!

Which two to fuse?

In fact, there was no choice at all. Currently, he only had two S-level skills that he could use, War Domain and Evil Tread.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Do you choose to fuse [War Domain] (S-level) and [Evil Tread] (S-level)? (Note: After fusion, there is a small probability of obtaining an SS-level skill and a high probability of obtaining an even rarer S-level skill)

Damn it, what's the probability of the small probability?

Looking at the system information, Jiang Han's heart was about to jump into his throat, but now there was no turning back: "Yes!"

He quickly opened the skill panel, witnessing the slow overlap and fusion of the two skills.

May the ancestors of the Jiang family bless me!

"Swoosh!"

When the two skills completely fused, a golden light flickered.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Congratulations on successfully fusing the skills [War Domain] (S-level) and [Evil Tread] (S-level), obtaining the SS-level skill [War Tread], Lucky Value +1!

"Boom!"

As if a nuclear bomb exploded in Jiang Han's mind, he instantly blanked out, losing the ability to think.

SS-level!

It's really SS-level!

Taking off!
