Divine-level Base

Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Thief

"Boss Jiasen’s been killed!!"

"Get him, everyone! Kill him and avenge Boss Jiasen!"

"..."

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the six burly, dagger-wielding men as they charged straight at Shu Feng.

"A bunch of trash. Since you’re looking to die, I’ll grant your wish!"

Shu Feng let out a grim smile. He darted forward and plunged his dagger into one man’s heart, then twisted his body and backhanded his blade into another’s.

Shu Feng’s Body Technique was eerie and ethereal, and the dagger in his hand was like a venomous dragon, striking unpredictably as he continuously stabbed the thugs in the heart. In the span of a dozen breaths, they had all collapsed into a pool of blood.

"Camilla! Dispose of these bodies!"

Ripples of light shimmered, and the sexy, fiery Dark Elf, Camilla, materialized. She then began to adeptly dispose of the thugs’ corpses.

Camilla was a native of Andoras World, so she could use her full, uninhibited strength here, making her Shu Feng’s best assistant. Summoning her wouldn’t trigger any rejection from Andoras World.

Shu Feng entered the Energy Evolution Tower within his Base Space and was enveloped by a viscous slime, forming a large cocoon.

Immense Source Energy and streams of Subordinate Divine Souls surged into Shu Feng’s body, causing his soul to strengthen and continuously evolve.

Three days later, inside the Base Space, Shu Feng opened his eyes as a line of information materialized before him.

"Holy Soul: 720 (+120) units!"

A slight smile touched Shu Feng’s lips. ’That’s a huge boost. Not bad at all!’

Absorbing the soul of one’s other self from an Otherworld could increase one’s soul limit by a certain percentage. This was why Spirit Saint Level prodigies in the Void Demon Realm could possess a Holy Soul during the Divine Transformation stage.

This was also how the prodigies of some powerful races in the Void Demon Realm gained the potential to become Half-step True Demons.

Of course, even in the Void Demon Realm, it was extremely difficult to possess ten thousand points of Holy Soul during the Divine Transformation stage. This was because even after breaking one’s soul limit by fusing with the souls of their alternate selves, they still needed Treasures of Heaven and Earth to increase their Soul Power. For many Spirit Saint Level experts, such treasures were simply impossible to obtain.

For this exact reason, within the Void Demon Realm, very few people could possess ten thousand points of Holy Soul at the Spirit Saint Level, with the exception of the "Half-step True Demon seeds" cultivated by top-level factions.

’A Thief! That guy actually wanted to become a Thief! Why not a Warrior or a Mage? Mages are the noblest and most powerful Profession, aren’t they?’

Shu Feng glanced at Kahn’s four remaining wishes and felt a headache coming on.

If Kahn had wanted to become a Mage, Shu Feng could have figured out a way to switch Professions to Mage and quickly complete all his wishes.

’First, I’ll find a Thief’s Guild and change my Profession.’

With a faint sigh, Shu Feng vanished from the Base Space.

In Andoras World, there were many Professions, each with its own Professional Guild. These guilds were responsible for teaching the Professional Skills associated with their respective Professions.

In addition, members of any Profession could go to the Skill God’s Divine Hall and, with the help of the Skill God’s Priests, acquire all sorts of Skills.

However, to obtain Skills from the Skill God Divine Hall, one had to be either a believer of the Skill God or a Great Noble. It was impossible for anyone else to be granted Skills there.

There were two Great Divine Spirits in Andoras World: one was the Skill God, and the other was the Snake of Fear.

The Skill God was widely acknowledged as the True God of Andoras World, bestowing blessings and Skills upon the populace. The Snake of Fear, however, was a terrifyingly evil Divine Spirit. It reveled in creating terror and slaughter, making people fear and worship It out of Despair and Fear.

Among the seven Heroes who possessed Divine-level Skills, one was the Pope of the Skill God Church. He wielded terrifying combat power, comparable to someone at the Demigod Level.

Professional Guilds only existed in large cities. Since Dusk City was the largest city in the region, it naturally had all sorts of them.

Dusk City Thief’s Guild.

Shu Feng pushed open the main doors and saw a haggard, middle-aged man with a missing finger slumped over a counter, dozing off.

"Someone’s here? What’s your business at the Thief’s Guild?"

The messy-haired, middle-aged man opened his eyes, picked the sleep from their corners, and yawned.

Shu Feng said, "I want to become a Tier One Professional Skill User Thief!!"

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up, and he grinned. "Ten Gold Coins!!"

In Andoras World, one Gold Coin could be exchanged for twenty silver coins, or two thousand copper coins. The annual living expense for many families in the slums was just over two hundred copper coins.

Ten Gold Coins were the equivalent of two hundred years’ worth of living expenses for a slum family. This exorbitant fee was the greatest barrier preventing many people from advancing to become an Extraordinary Professional Skill User.

Shu Feng took out a cloth pouch, counted out ten Gold Coins, and handed them to the middle-aged man.

"Not bad! I’m David! I’ll be teaching you the Thief’s Skills. To advance to a Tier One Thief, you must master the Thief’s Magic Power Training Method, Tier One Enhanced Body, Tier One Agility, Tier One Stealth, and Tier One Backstab."

"Our world is filled with Magic Power. The Thief’s Magic Power Training Method allows you to absorb the ambient Magic Power in the air and to better absorb the Magic Power or Life Energy you gain from hunting Demons."

"We experts of the Thief Element and Warrior Element use Magic Power to strengthen our bodies. Mages, on the other hand, use their own Magic Power to commune with the Magic Power of the world and unleash all kinds of powerful Magic."

"Once you’ve cultivated the Thief’s Magic Power Training Method to a certain level, you’ll acquire two Skills: Tier One Body Enhancement and Tier One Agility."

"As for the Tier One Stealth and Tier One Backstab Skills, I can teach you the methods to train them. You can then use the Free Points you get from hunting Demons to raise the Level of these two Skills."

"Come in. I will now teach you the Thief’s Magic Power Training Method!"

David said coolly, then led Shu Feng into an incredibly spacious Martial Arts Arena inside the Thief’s Guild.

"This is the Thief’s Magic Power Training Method. Watch closely!"

Inside the Martial Arts Arena, David performed a set of extremely difficult movements.

"Now, you try!"

After finishing the sequence, David was slightly out of breath, a pleased look flashing in his eyes.

The Thief’s Magic Power Training Method was incredibly difficult; almost no one besides a few rare geniuses could learn it in one try. This meant David could charge for more lessons. It was how he made his living.

’Not bad. I can feel some Magic Power flowing in, but it’s just a trickle. No wonder everyone prefers to hunt Demons and absorb their Life Energy to evolve!’
