--- Chapter 261 ---
Everyone rested at the Sky Feather City for two days. The first day to relax from the exhausting fight, and the second day to familiarize themselves with their harvests.
The effect of the Extraterrestrial Race's essence is absolutely mind-blowing!
Some try to enhance their physique and bloodline with it, but some are more straightforward by refining the Extraterrestrial Race's essence with their martial souls.
Well, no matter what choices were 'fearlessly' made, it was a gain that might change the result of the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament.
Of course, Huo Yuhao didn't stay idle all this time. He has chosen a new Divine-grade Class to master, Abyssal Reaper.
[Class: Abyssal Reaper]
[Type: Bringer(Assassin's Origin)]
[Grade: Divine]
[Description: The guide of light and darkness, Abyssal Reaper exists when justice and evil prevail too long without end. To put an end to everyone's misery, a man who had nothing carried worn-out daggers and began his first step to become Legendary Assassin]
[every time Abyssal Reaper appears to the world, everyone remembers this line, "One dagger to end a Man, two daggers to end a Dragon, and three daggers to end Gods and Demons!"]
The introductions weren't as exaggerated as Monk of Resistance Class, but that last line was definitely cold.
Huo Yuhao didn't expect much from an Assassin-type Class because he was an assassin in his previous life. But here he was, sitting on the floor with the familiar routine of cleaning his assassination tools.
Oh, yeah. Since this Divine-grade Class needed multiple daggers(at least three) to master, Huo Yuhao grabbed an unused dagger in his Azure Emperor Vault and made a new one with Pagma Incarnation's Class.
He also upgraded Underworld Killing Impulse a little, polishing it.
Here are their descriptions.
...
[Name: Underworld Killing Impulse]
[Type: Carving Knife/Weapon]
[Grade: SS+]
[Description: A Carving Knife made with gnawing mineral that swallowed living flesh and drunk blood. It has been purified by the Holy Goddess and further refined by the Divine Blacksmith, which caused its hidden potentials and abilities to be unlocked]
[Underworld Killing Impulse is ranked 69th in the Douluo Continent's Carving Knife Leaderboard before, but now it can even enter the top five ranks]
[Innate Effects: +100% Lifesteal, 110% chance of inflicting Bleeding Debuff(Stackable)]
[Innate Skills: Blood and Flesh Carving, Ghostly Form, Yin-Yang Severing]
...
[Name: Frost Saintess's Short Sword]
[Type: Short Sword/Weapon]
[Grade: SS+]
[Description: A legend said that the Ice Elven Race has many Queens but only one Saintess. Not only was the Frost Saintess a great beauty, but her fighting prowess was second to none in the Frost World. Her favorite choice of weapon is a light short sword made of the Heavenly Ice and Frost World's Tree's Inner Roots]
[Frost Saintess's Short Sword was said to be blessed by the Frost World's essence itself, allowing the wielder to move like a wind and freeze the enemy for eternity]
[Innate Effects: +150% Movement Speed, 70% chance of inflicting Freezing's Debuff(Stackable)]
[Innate Skills: Frost Saint's War Dance, Ice Punishment, Death by Sheer Cold]
...
[Name: Sky Poison Dagger]
[Type: Dagger/Weapon]
[Grade: SS+]
[Description: Made with a replica of Sky Poison Pearl, this green dagger is long-lasting and 'extremely' poisonous. It retains 50% of Sky Poison Pearl's powers(including infinite inner space, poison generation, and purification), which is still very powerful to a certain extent]
[Innate Effects: Immunity to 10,000 Poisons, 300% chance of inflicting random Poison Debuff(Stackable)]
[Innate Abilities: Infinite Inner Space, Clean Cut, God Slaying Poison(Imperfect)]
...
Huo Yuhao upgraded the Ice Elven Queen's Dagger into Frost Saintess's Short Sword with his Upgrading Ticket. As for the Sky Poison Dagger, he made it by replicating the Sky Poison Dagger into the shape of a dagger.
Of course, Sky Poison Pearl won't cut it. So, Huo Yuhao added some rare materials he never touched to his inventory. He had too many of them.
Huo Yuhao kept the Underworld Killing Impulse in his sleeve. Meanwhile, Frost Saintess will get stored inside Sky Poison Dagger as an element of surprise.
"I'm almost done with weapons. Next is skill." He clicked some system panels and checked Abyssal Reaper's skills.
[Opening Abyssal Reaper's Skill List...]
[Hidden Weapon Mastery Lv. Max]
[Hidden Weapon Making Lv. Max]
[Abyssal Breathing Technique Lv. Max]
[Abyssal Steps Lv. 69]
[Abyssal Body Lv. 50]
[Light Blade Lv. 40]
[Dark Blade Lv. 40]
[Twilight Blade Lv. 20]
[Three Lives, Three Daggers Lv. 5]
[Breathe of Abyssal Death Lv. 1]
[Severing Immortality Lv. 1]
Huo Yuhao has mastered some of Abyssal Reaper's fundamental skills, such as Hidden Weapon Mastery and Abyssal Breathing Technique because he had experience in such a field.
Some advanced skills aren't hard to master, but the three ultimate skills are like thorns on his path.
[Three Lives, Three Daggers(Active)]
[Swiftly draw three hidden weapons(or more) and combine them into one deathly strike]
[Breathe of Abyssal Death(Active)]
[Release Abyssal Plane's aura into reality and weaken the enemy's strength, defense, and speed by 500%]
[Severing Immortality(Active)]
[Bring out the 'strongest' momentum within oneself and sever the target's life at the cost of the caster's life. When executed perfectly, Severing Immortality will cause irresistible death]
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched because the description of these skills was too misleading. Even if Huo Yuhao executed the ultimate skills, he couldn't bring 100% of their effect.
It's not because Huo Yuhao was dumb or anything. On the contrary, it was because mastering the Abyssal Reaper Class must need to fit 'certain' criteria.
That 'certain' criteria is such a headache.
"Evo, can you issue a quest related to Abyssal Reaper?" Huo Yuhao doesn't want to waste his time, so he asks for help.
[Okay, Host] Evo replied positively.
[Wait a moment...]
[...]
[Ding! The system has issued a mini quest]
[Name: Assisting Blades]
[Objective: Develop assisting skills(Coordination, Domain, Life) and for Abyssal Reaper's Ultimate Skills(0/3)]
[Time Limit: None]
[Penalty: None]
[Reward: 10x Silver Upgrading Ticket]
[Do you want to accept the mini-quest?]
[Yes/No]
Huo Yuhao pressed 'Yes' without hesitation. Evo has given him the clues, so all Huo Yuhao needs to do is develop Coordination, Domain, and Life Skills.
Knock! Knock!
As Huo Yuhao was 'slowly' immersed in his thoughts, two gentle knocks on his hotel room's door awakened him.
"Yuhao, we are going to the port now." Xiao Xiao's voice is coming from the other side of the wall. "Are you ready?"
Huo Yuhao sighed, "Slowly, Yuhao. Slowly."
"I'm ready. Wait for a minute." He shouted while cleaning himself. He wore his coat and opened the door, spotting Xiao Xiao in her green dress.
Xiao Xiao had a cheeky smile as she twirled on the spot, "What do you think?"
Huo Yuhao smiled, "It looks good on you."
"Hehe, I'm glad you like it."
"Wanna see what's beneath this dress?" Xiao Xiao suddenly blurted without shame. She even winked at him when saying those words.
"Uh, maybe later." Huo Yuhao was 'actually' caught off guard for a second.
Xiao Xiao giggled because seeing Huo Yuhao flustered for once was not as bad as she thought. After Zhang Lexuan's confession, Xiao Xiao has devised a new method to become Huo Yuhao's girlfriend.
Yes, she tried to be more aggressive.
No, passive Yandere anymore!
...
Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao met with others at the Sky Feather City's exit gate. They have been waiting for a while now.
"Sorry for the wait. I'm ready now." Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile.
"Let's go to the port."
"It's fine."
"We understand."
"Hehe, let's fucking go~!"
Using an All-Terrain Mobility Car, they moved the seashore and arrived at the Green Hill Port. As the name suggests, this port is 'nicely' located near a hill of lush grassland.
The scenery here is better than most ports Huo Yuhao has visited. Below it, one could see several ships parked on the busy port.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Xuan Zi and asked, "Elder, you have reserved a ship for us, right?"
Xuan Zi chuckled, "Of course, Shrek Academy is not that shabby that we couldn't afford a ship."
"Follow me. Our ride is near a bar."
Everyone followed Xuan Zi to the Green Hill Port and was speechless at the sight of their ship.
"U-Um, elder. Don't tell me we have to ride this?" Someone raised his hand and asked.
"Hehe, this is also a form of training." Xuan Zi stood before a wrecked ship proudly. Just one look at the wrecked ship is enough to make people think of themselves as drowning in the sea.
"..." Huo Yuhao. He shouldn't have trusted Shrek Academy when it comes to transportation. They are too old-fashioned.
He sighed, "All-Terrain Mobility Car, Speed Boat Mode."
Xuan Zi and others watched as the All-Terrain Mobility Car expanded and fell onto the sea, transforming into a futuristic Speedboat that could carry more than thirty people.
Huo Yuhao clapped and said, "Everyone, board the boat!"
"I'm your captain now."
"Aye, aye, captain!" Everyone jokingly responded.
"Nooo!" Xuan Zi dramatically fell to the wooden platform and cried. He wanted to see the new Shrek Seven Devils face hardship a little.
