Chapter 437: Chapter 221: Cultivator Companion Evolution, Gift Before Departure (Part 2)

Lin Mo would also spar with Shefilya, and sometimes mysterious guests would join in.

That’s right, they were Flora and Shaya.

Compared to Shefilya, these two were clearly more powerful. Their understanding of combat was also unique in its own way. The content of their instruction couldn’t be said to be better or worse than Shefilya’s, but it certainly provided Lin Mo with additional gains.

Especially Flora, an experienced Mage, taught him some extremely useful little tricks.

Of course, besides gaining experience, Lin Mo also made some progress in terms of Skill Level.

The Skills that saw relatively obvious gains from this practice were still the same few.

First were the Swift and Eagle Eye Skills from the Ranger Profession.

[Swift] Level 4 (29/100)

The Swift Skill hadn’t progressed much, only gaining about a dozen or so points in Skill Level. It was still a bit far from leveling up.

Status Skills like this were the hardest for Lin Mo to improve, since he had lost the biggest advantage of gaining Skill Level from killing monsters.

However, by comparison, the leveling speed of the Eagle Eye Skill was a pleasant surprise for Lin Mo.

This Skill could increase Lin Mo’s range and precision of vision. Besides being used for scouting, it was also quite useful in combat.

The Eagle Eye Skill increased visual precision, allowing for faster and more accurate observation and analysis of an opponent’s movements. For a Ranger, this could be used for aiming or retreating early. For Lin Mo, it could also be used during close-quarters combat.

He had discovered this in previous battles and had been constantly experimenting and adapting during the past few days of practice.

Thus, the progress of the Eagle Eye Skill was unexpectedly delightful.

"Skill [Eagle Eye] Level 1 (10/10) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Eagle Eye] Level 2 (0/20)"

"Skill [Eagle Eye] Level 2 (20/20) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Eagle Eye] Level 3 (11/40)"

"Gained attribute points: Agility +2!"

Next was the Knight Profession’s [Resilience]. Having had this Skill for so long, Lin Mo had basically developed a habit. As long as he entered a combat state and his Qi and Blood were relatively full, he would immediately cast the Skill to buff himself.

Therefore, this Skill had already gained a lot of Skill Level from the many battles before.

Combined with the practice over the past few days, this Excellence Level Skill that Lin Mo had obtained relatively early on was finally not too far from leveling up and evolving.

[Resilience] Level 6 (189/300)

Unfortunately, the Warrior Profession that Lin Mo wanted to improve the most didn’t have similar Status Skills. Although practicing Skills like [Jump Slash] and [Whip Kick] did increase their Skill Level somewhat, the speed was much slower than killing monsters. It also couldn’t compare to the continuous gain from Status Skills.

’I guess that’s about it for now...’

’Once I get to Fajade City, I’ll take on some quests and raise the Levels of these Skills while out adventuring.’

Besides these Skills, the most important progress was actually with his Special Skills.

Before, the Cultivator Companion Skill was already not far from leveling up.

Over the past few days, Lin Mo practiced by day and wasn’t idle at night, working very hard to increase this Skill’s Skill Level.

And the warm-hearted Ali and Shefilya were more than happy to help him, working overtime and even using a shift system.

As a result, Ali’s Attributes saw significant improvement once again. Shefilya also received some Strength and Constitution Attributes from Lin Mo, which helped shore up her weaknesses.

Of course, Lin Mo wasn’t without his own gains. Through constant practice, he received a full 3 points of Agility Attribute from Shefilya—that’s almost one point per day!

And this 3-point increase in the Agility Attribute, combined with the Basic Attribute Points gained from leveling up the [Eagle Eye] Skill, brought Lin Mo’s Basic Agility Attribute to 70 points!

And so, naturally, it was time for the much-anticipated Profession promotion.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have enough Skills for the Ranger Profession, so only the Assassin Profession was promoted.

But Lin Mo had come to terms with it by now and wasn’t in a hurry.

Those Professions that hadn’t been promoted yet were like unopened Treasure Chests. The contents inside would improve as the Levels of his other Professions in the same category increased.

The more he accumulated, the more satisfying it would be when he finally opened the Treasure Chests one day.

"Promotion conditions met. Professional Assassin (Level 6) promoted — Current: Professional Assassin (Level 7)."

"Gained Professional Attribute Amplification: Strength +1, Agility +4, Constitution +1!"

This was the first level-up after the Assassin Profession advanced to the Senior Level, granting a total of 6 points in Professional Attribute Amplification.

To be honest, after experiencing the massive Attribute Amplifications from his now High Level Mage Profession, this 6-point boost seemed rather pathetic.

’Still, it’s better than nothing...’

But what surprised Lin Mo even more was the message that had just appeared before his eyes last night.

[Cultivator Companion] Skill Level +2

[Cultivator Companion] Skill Level +2

...

"Skill [Cultivator Companion] Level 4 (100/100) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Cultivator Companion] Level 5 (Max)"

"Gained attribute points: Constitution +2!"

"Has automatically evolved into a New Skill—Shared Cultivation!"

"Skill Comprehension: [Shared Cultivation]! Gained attribute points: Constitution +1, Spirit +1!"

[Shared Cultivation]: Level 1 (0/10): Through deep exchange, resonate Qi and Blood or Magic Power to increase mutual compatibility. This provides a random corresponding Attribute bonus (i.e., Qi and Blood exchange randomly increases Strength, Constitution, or Agility; Magic Power exchange randomly increases Magic Power or Spirit). During the process, there is a small chance to instantly acquire one of the partner’s Skills (limited to those of Excellent Level or below). If both partners share a Skill, there is a small chance for its Skill Level to increase for both!
