Chapter 525: Chapter 88 Ao Tian Divine Sword_2

Xia Yi the Unrivaled candidly responded, "I really have no clue."

"I know," Ye Luo suddenly spoke up.

"Really? Even I don’t know?" Xia Yi the Unrivaled was somewhat skeptical.

Ye Luo calmly explained, "Hero has two advancement paths—one is the hidden expert, and the other is the Sect Leader.

The core skill of a hidden expert is [Secluded Cultivation], which allows for the fusion of all previously mastered skills to achieve a Satori, creating unique martial arts. The level of the unique martial arts won’t be lower than the highest Martial Arts Level that the hidden expert has already attained. In other words, if you know the Supreme Sword Skill, then the skill derived from secluded cultivation will also be a Supreme Martial Art.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yi the Unrivaled’s eyes lit up. With two sets of Supreme Martial Arts, he would really take off. It would be best if he could cultivate a set of Inner Strength during seclusion; by then, pairing Supreme Inner Strength with Supreme Swordsmanship would be invincible.

"What about the core skill of the Sect Leader?"

"The Sect Leader’s core skill is [Founding a Sect], which allows you to establish your own sect and take on disciples, though it seems there’s a limit to the number of disciples—one can only accept a maximum of three.

Disciples can only be recruited from NPCs, and there are distinctions in their aptitude: white, green, blue, purple, orange... Disciples with different qualities have varying growth potential.

Once the disciples have reached a certain level, the Sect Leader can send them out for experiential training. With luck, an adventure may propel them to new heights, but conversely, bad luck may lead to them being killed by wild beasts along the way, and the system will notify you that your disciple so-and-so died at the hands of a certain creature on a certain day and month.

During combat, the Sect Leader can choose one disciple to accompany and assist in the fight. If you can train a powerful disciple, they may even surpass your own combat strength."

Xia Yi the Unrivaled was amazed, finding the role of Sect Leader to be rather compelling, and the aspect of nurturing disciples quite intriguing.

"How do you know so much?"

Ye Luo just chuckled and did not elaborate further.

Xiao Jie inquired, "So are you planning to become a hidden expert or a Sect Leader?"

"This... I really need to think this over. By the way, what are the conditions for advancing to these professions?"

"I don’t know."

"What!" Xia Yi the Unrivaled was left speechless, his curiosity piqued without an answer, leaving him rather frustrated.

Xiao Jie, however, smiled and said, "Actually, it’s not hard to guess. Professions are tied to a player’s gaming experience, and the names likely already drop some hints. As a hidden expert, you probably need to solo grind and defeat bosses alone.

As for the Sect Leader, you certainly need to interact more with NPCs, boost affections and reputation, cultivate some Jianghu Loyalty, and so on.

Looking at it this way, considering your current development path, it seems more likely for you to advance to Sect Leader."

Xia Yi the Unrivaled hummed in response. Indeed, that’s how it seemed; he fell into deep thought for a moment.

Xiao Jie understood this well. Although level 40 seemed a bit distant, it was not out of reach. Even Jiu Jianxian was starting to consider the class change to Sword Saint at level 40, and with Xia Yi the Unrivaled currently at level 35, if he dared to grind on high-level maps, it would just be a matter of one or two months.

"Let’s go, Xia. We’ll focus on leveling up first. You’ve still got a long way to go to reach level 40. First, help me rush to level 30."

"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s get started. It’s also a good time for me to practice this Supreme Sword Skill."

When the group returned to the Martial Arts Arena, Bai Ze opted out; he had become addicted to sparring. In just over an hour, he had gained thousands of Weapon experience points. At this rate, it would only take two or three days to advance to Grandmaster Level swordsmanship.

The key was not to rush the upgrade.

However, sparring to earn Weapon experience was something only the rich could afford. Although sparring was free, replenishing health and Energy after each battle required consuming elixirs and food.

Fortunately, as a Master of Magic, Bai Ze wasn’t short on money, so he bought a pile of elixirs and sparred like crazy.

Ye Luo said, "So it’s just the four of us. Let’s go back to Ghost Mist Ridge."

Xiao Jie then suddenly remembered something, "Hold on, I need to buy some things first. Is there a town with an auction house on the Golden Bull Plain?"

"Yes—Gold Bull City, not far from here."

Xiao Jie had Xia Yi the Unrivaled lead the way, and the group first stopped by Gold Bull City, where Xiao Jie made a beeline for the auction house.

He was there to buy Skill Books.

Upon arriving at the auction house, he entered the keywords [Combat Skills], thought for a moment, and added [Saber Skill] and [Fist and foot].

Clicking search, a long list of consignment goods appeared.

Xiao Jie focused on buying Basic Combat Skills, as they were incredibly cheap. Many humanoid creatures could drop them, and a book could generally be bought for just a few taels of Silver.

Xiao Jie mainly purchased Saber Skills, followed by unarmed combat skills. Although Fist and foot techniques weren’t very powerful, they could serve as transitional skills between moves, and many Fist and foot skills had control effects. They might not deal impressive damage, but for control, they were fairly effective.

Sweeping leg, Wulong Jiao Pillar, Powerful Splitting of Huashan, Double Blade Chain, Wind Sweep Leaf, Chasing Wind Style, Duan Yun Style, Harmony Six Styles... As long as they weren’t overly expensive, he bought them all.

In a short while, Xiao Jie had purchased over a dozen Skill Books, spending over sixty taels of Silver before stopping.

He learned them all in one go, and as his skill repertoire suddenly expanded, Xiao Jie nodded in satisfaction, planning to thoroughly research how to perform seamless combos later.

For now, however, the focus was on leveling.

The four set out again, crossing the river back to Ghost Mist Ridge, and resumed their leveling rhythm.

This time, without Bai Ze but with Xia Yi the Unrivaled, their leveling efficiency did not diminish but rather increased. Xia Yi the Unrivaled naturally took on the role of trailblazer, activating the Sky Opening Sword Energy and tearing through zombies and Skeletons in a frenzy.
