Chapter 704: Imperial Heaven Ancestral Dragon Rider

"Good, since you wish to continue down the path of an assassin, Master shall grant it to you!"

Zhou Huai nodded.

On a perilous battlefield, an impeccably concealed assassin could often exert a strategic role that turned the tides.

Since Qin Ming held this obsession, then they would comply with his Dao!

"Enlightenment!"

The phantom of Great Sage Li Er raised his hand, and the power of the Law descended.

Hum——!

White light enveloped Qin Ming, and Zhou Huai's consciousness entered the star sea of professional Laws.

He looked toward the lightless zone in the depths of the star sea.

There, a black star was flickering.

"It is you."

Zhou Huai raised his hand and pointed forward; that S-Class Law star slashed through the Void Realm and crashed into Qin Ming's Soul phantom!

"Fuse!"

In the underground Cultivate room outside, a sudden change occurred abruptly!

In the underground Cultivate room outside, the white light wrapping around Qin Ming was covered by black mist.

Jasmine retreated half a step, crossing her arms.

From within the black mist came the crisp sound of bones being reshaped.

Qin Ming's body blended with the surrounding space, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

When the black mist completely retracted into his body, Qin Ming slowly landed on the ground.

The leather armor on his body transformed into night-traveler clothes flowing with a dark purple faint light, the corners of his clothes cutting minute air currents in the air.

He raised his hand and swiped open his attribute panel.

[Name: Qin Ming]

[Profession: S-Class—Void Dark Assassin]

[Rank: Rank 46]

"Master… This…" Qin Ming stared at the panel, his eye sockets turning red, his voice low and hoarse, "I simply cannot believe it… I feel like I am dreaming!"

"S-Class! I, Qin Ming, actually have a day where I become an S-Class Professional!"

Qin Ming knelt on both knees, his forehead knocking heavily against the metal floor, making a sound: "For Master's grace of rebirth, Qin Ming shall tie grass and ring rings for all generations! In the future, wherever Master's sword points, even if Qin Ming is smashed to pieces, I will surely cut off the enemy general's head for you!"

Zhou Huai leaned against the back of his chair.

One million Karma values in exchange for an S-Rank Expert, this transaction was very cost-effective.

He began to calculate, if he gathered enough Karma values and used Enlightenment to create one hundred S-Class subordinates, forming a hundred-man S-Class special forces unit…

Flattening the Free Federation would be a breeze.

However, reason quickly pulled him back to reality.

"Alright, all of you get up." Zhou Huai put away his smile, "Now that the undead crisis in the Abyss of Mist has been resolved, the skeletons inside are a treasure trove. Qin Ming, Jasmine, the two of you lead the guild elites to continue entering the ruins and search for the mortal demon origin stone!"

"Yes! Obey Master's command!" The two responded in unison, turning and walking outward.

Watching the backs of the two leaving, Zhou Huai calculated silently in his heart.

Li Er's Enlightenment skill could rapidly raise the Rank and grade of Clones and subordinates, but the consumption of Karma value was simply too huge.

He glanced at the System background; right now, counting everything to the fullest, he still only had over sixty million Karma values.

It sounded like a lot, but he had to use it sparingly.

After all, the Abyss of Mist was only the beginning; the Chaos of the Eight Directions world-class quest issued by the System required him to quell the chaos of eight ruins across the globe.

Next, he had to deal with the ancient experts reviving in other ruins.

Especially the ruins over at Ximeng City!

According to intelligence from the military, the mutated ancient vegetation over at Ximeng City was spreading at an extremely fast rate, covering the entire old site of Ximeng City in just a few days, turning it into a sea of dead green.

If the Karma value was too low, he simply couldn't cope with this kind of situation.

"After resolving the trouble beneath Donghai City, next are the ruins of Ximeng City…" Zhou Huai muttered to himself, "However, before that, I should first draw out that guaranteed SSS-Class professional orb just rewarded by the System. Having one more trump card means one more point of winning odds."

Thinking of this, Zhou Huai's consciousness pulled away from the underground base and returned to his main body.

"Splash—"

The sound of waves slapping against wooden boards rang in his ears, and the salty, fishy sea breeze blew straight at his face.

At this moment, Zhou Huai's main body was not in any safe house in Donghai City at all, but rather floating on a dilapidated fishing boat several hundred nautical miles off the coast of Donghai City.

Having experienced being tracked down by Dawnbreaker Guild leader Mr. Duan, who killed his Clone in seconds with high-dimensional power, Zhou Huai deeply understood how formidable the opponent's methods were.

To prevent being locked onto by that Transcendent again, he would no longer stay fixed in a certain place now.

Furthermore, the Abyss of Mist ruins beneath Donghai City had now been pacified.

That Mr. Duan with boundless Divine Abilities would soon notice the anomaly, and based on the other party's intelligence, he could also quickly deduce that he wasn't dead at all.

This matter couldn't be hidden either; what he could do was escape into this boundless sea beforehand and completely conceal his whereabouts.

"Creak—"

The cabin door was pushed open, and Uncle Fu walked in carrying two large sea fish.

"Young Master, you're awake?" Uncle Fu raised the fish in his hand, the wrinkles on his smiling face squeezing together, "A grouper just fished out of the sea! This wild game from the sea is much more exciting than the farmed ones in the city! This old servant will stew a fish soup for you at noon, and we can have a good meal today!"

Zhou Huai looked at Uncle Fu, stretched his shoulders, and smiled: "Not bad, not bad, Uncle Fu, your fishing skills have made great progress recently, even better than those professional anglers."

"Hey, Young Master, stop poking fun at me. Floating on this sea, besides fishing, there are no other pastimes."

Just as Uncle Fu turned around to busy himself with lunch at the stern of the boat, Zhou Huai closed his eyes.

Deep within his mind, that huge gachapon machine radiating a halo emerged.

"System, initiate the draw!"

Zhou Huai pressed the draw button.

Rumble——!

A roaring sound came from inside the gachapon machine, and colorful orbs rotated and collided within it.

Afterward, all colors dimmed, and a black radiance lit up.

As the rotation speed slowed down, a black orb with dark golden dragon patterns flowing on its surface rolled out from the exit.

When this black orb appeared, a mighty pressure dispersed within Zhou Huai's Sea of Consciousness.

[Congratulations to the host for drawing the profession: Unique Hidden Profession, SSS-Class · [Imperial Heaven Ancestral Dragon Rider]!]

"Dragon Knight?!"

Zhou Huai opened his eyes, his hands pressing on his knees.

It was actually the top-tier combat profession in the Western fantasy System—Dragon Knight!

Moreover, it was an SSS-Class with the unique hidden prefix!

"Let me see what kind of Heaven-Defying skill configuration this SSS-Class Dragon Knight actually has!"

Zhou Huai impatiently summoned the attribute panel of the new Clone.

[Clone Panel (Unnamed)]

[Profession: Unique Hidden Profession, SSS-Class · Imperial Heaven Ancestral Dragon Rider]

[Rank: Rank 1]

[Health Points]: 3500 / 3500

[Mana Points]: 1200 / 1200

[Strength]: 250

[Agility]: 150

[Stamina]: 300

[Spirit]: 100

[Skill List]:

[Passive One: Ancestral Dragon Blood Pact: The Dragon Knight can forcibly bind a giant dragon as a natal mount. After successful binding, it will automatically activate and infuse the ancient Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, forcibly raising the giant dragon's grade to Quasi-God Level! The Dragon Knight and the natal Ancestral Dragon share their lives completely, and their attributes overlap and are shared perfectly. As long as the Ancestral Dragon does not die, the Dragon Rider is immortal!]

[Passive Two: Ancestral Dragon Imperial Might: The Dragon Rider naturally carries the Ancestral Dragon's mighty pressure, suppressing all exotic beast targets below the Quasi-God Level, causing all their attributes to decrease by 30% and fall into a state of fear. As a Dragon Clan nemesis, it deals 300% true damage to the Dragon Clan and sub-dragon species, and is immune to all magic attacks!]

[Active Skill: Abyssal Blood Death Seal: Consumes 500 Mana Points to drive Ancestral Dragon Evil Qi into the enemy's body. The skill damage is positively correlated with the Dragon Knight's current maximum Health Points (the higher the Health Points, the higher the damage). The seal comes with an absolute healing-reduction effect and a crippling effect, causing continuous true damage blood loss per second, and all wounds cannot be healed by any holy or light-type Spells. The seal lasts for ten minutes, and each attack can stack one layer of seal damage, up to a maximum of 100 layers!]
