Chapter 121- Spectral Hunter
“Damn, that guy hit hard!” Liu Hao climbed up from the ground and massaged his aching waist, he continued, “Apparently, hard difficulty level isn’t an easy place to mix in as I thought.”
Cheng Yang said, “You should learn from Chen Yun. His fighting skills are much higher than you, it would be a very good experience for you.”
Liu Hao made sure to take Cheng Yang’s words to heart. He immediately said, “Lord, go check the items. I’m really looking forward to seeing what it is.”
Cheng Yang chuckled, “Don’t expect it to be something useful for you. This instance is clearly related to archer, so the items obtained from the first clearance must also be related to archers.”
Liu Hao didn’t seem to mind, he said, “That’s still worth looking forward to, at least Old Yu can get some benefits. Besides, the instance of Old Yu is related to warriors, so it can be said we complement each other.”
Cheng Yang immediately stepped forward and went to the podium where the dwarf leader had just stood, and found an object above it.
Hunter's Heart: Incorporating the hunter’s heart into the archer statue will allows the archer statue to add a quota of the special profession: Spectral Hunter.
Sure enough, it was this item. Cheng Yang already expected this item to appear, but actually seeing it still made his heart very happy. Spectral Hunter was an extremely powerful profession, not worse than Cheng Yang’s Ice mage. Cheng Yang intended to give this profession to Yu Kai, and had him transferred to it. This would be bring great benefits to his future development.
Liu Hao saw the object in Cheng Yang’s hands, and immediately his mouth turned watery, “This time, Old Yu’s luck hit big. I don’t know when I can get a special profession like Old Yu. ”
Cheng Yang comforted him as he smiled, “Relax, your time will come.”
The trio then exited from the Abandoned Ancient Citadel instance.
After returning to Xianghe Village, Cheng Yang scanned the surroundings and said, “Haozi, make sure to completely finish constructing the level 2 buildings by tonight. In the evening, I will give you enough power value so that you can raise the village to level 3. This way, the village can earn power value faster. ”
Liu Hao nodded his head. At this moment, Xianghe Village covered an area of 9 square kilometers, but the area that could increase the territory power value of the village was only 12 square kilometers. The enchanted beasts in this range could provides up to 1,200-1,3000 points of power value per day, and that’s if they killed at a high rate. Once the village was upgraded to level 3, this range could be expanded to 24 square kilometers. With that much range, the territory power value earned per day would definitely surpass 2,500 points.
Thus, the upgrades for the profession statues of the territory later on could be considered barely satisfied.
After giving out the orders, Cheng Yang along with Liu Xiyue left the village. They returned to Luo Feng Village after walking back on the road.
This time, Cheng Yang didn’t bring Liu Xiyue out with him, but went alone towards the direction of Xiangcheng City. There was only one purpose for his trip, and that was to collect the debts. If he bring Liu Xiyue along and Yuan Jianze has bad intentions, he wouldn’t be able to guarantee Liu Xiyue’s safety if they really clash. Although the possibility of this occurring was very low, Cheng Yang still had to make sure to keep his guard up.
200,000 points of power value wasn’t a small number for Yuan Jianze, neither was it a small number for Cheng Yang.
When Cheng Yang arrived at Xiangcheng City’s main city, someone immediately discovered him. That person quickly notified Yuan Jianze.
Although Yuan Jianze didn’t want to relinquish this 200,000 points of power value over to Cheng Yang, but in order to secure a period of safe development, he had to compromise.
Therefore, Yuan Jianze not only gave the power value to Cheng Yang, he also handed it in person. Cheng Yang stared at the bright smile of Yuan Jianze’s face. If no one knew about the circumstances surrounding the two, they might think of them as old friends that met each other for the first time in many years. However, Cheng Yang knew very well that Yuan Jainze wasn’t a person that would suffered from a loss.
After successfully obtaining the 200,000 points of power value, Cheng Yang didn’t plan to stay in the main city. Although he had previously made Yuan Jianze not interfere with his recruitment of people in Xiangcheng City’s main city, but this didn’t need to be done now. For him, the most important thing now was to develop the three field stations.
It was already evening. Cheng Yang wasn’t ready to return to Luo Feng Village, instead he continue to walk to Dongshan Village as he was intended to clear the hard difficulty level of the Black Tortoise Island instance. The items bursted could come in handy later on. Moreover, he could also take Yu Kai back with him from Dongshan Village. The special profession Spectral Hunter was also just lying there, waiting for him to change profession.
The hard difficulty level of the Black Tortoise Island wasn’t that different from the normal level. Only difference was that all the monsters were enhanced by a minor order.
This time, Cheng Yang has taken Yu Kai and three of his men in with him. It only took about 10 minutes to run through the entire instance.
After the death of the giant armored beast, Cheng Yang once again won the first clearance reward of the instance.
Not surprisingly, the item was related to warriors.
Skill heritage Bead (Standing Shield): After the death of the ancient professions, their strongest skills were sealed within the spirit beads, allowing them to be pass on to future generation. Incorporating a skill heritage bead into the corresponding profession statue allows the profession to learn this skill.
Standing Shield (Level 1): Warrior can place the shield on the ground to resist enemy’s attacks that are twice his or her attack power without being repulsed. In the shield state, warrior can’t counterattacked or moved. The higher the skill level, the higher one may resist. Level increase with the number of times the skill is used. Learning conditions: First middle-order warrior’s apprentice, 200 points of power value.
This was also a very practical skill. After the warriors learned Standing Shield, the team would be able to form a more solid frontline of defense.
“Haozi’s luck is too good, isn’t it? This is another skill for him. He already had the Damage Absorption skill, and after adding this Standing Shield skill, perhaps the title of first meat shield in the world might belong to him.” Yu Kai said with some emotions.
Cheng Yang smiled and said, “Actually, this skill isn’t suited for Liu Hao. His advantage is speed. In the shield state, he won’t be able to counterattack or move, which was equal to him abandoning his advantages. But in general, this is a good skill. Especially, in group battles, the role this skill can played will be amazing.”
After saying that, Cheng Yang then looked at Yu Kai and said, “Your luck is actually much better than Haozi. Do you know what treasure I got from the instance near Xianghe Village?”
Yu Kai was slightly started, he curiously asked, “What did you get?”
Cheng Yang immediately took out the Hunter’s Heart and the Ranged Shot’s skill heritage bead.
After reading the properties of the two items, Yu Kai’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he spoke towards Cheng Yang, “Lord, isn’t this item amazing?”
Cheng Yang ignored the gratifying expression on the other side’s face and said, “In a bit, come back with me and change into Spectral Hunter before doing anything else.”
Yu kai immediately nodded his head.
Then the two men set off for Luo Feng Village, With the speed of two people, this 20 kilometers journey only needed less than half an hour to arrive.
The first thing Cheng Yang did when he came back to Luo Feng Village was used the two newly acquired skill heritage beads and special profession quota on the corresponding profession statue. Afterwards, he assigned the Spectral Hunter’s quota to Yu Kai and let him change his profession.
Soon, Yu Kai’s transfer was completed. Incidentally, all of the new skills were also given. In an instant, his properties has been dramatically changed.

Yu Kai certainly became stronger after changing his profession into Spectral Hunter. Not only has his attack power improved, but even his skills has increased in variables. As for the exclusive skill of the Spectral Hunter, it was very useful in battles. It was equal to dodging 50% of enemies’ attack in a duration of 10 seconds. Moreover, this rate would also increase as the skill level rise. As to whether this skill could reach a 100% dodge rate, Cheng Yang wasn’t sure. However, his hope wasn’t high.
Although the Spirit Eagle wasn’t an exclusive skill of the Spectral Hunter, and it has no effect on the combat effectiveness of the professions themselves, its strategic significance shouldn’t be underestimated. In this era with no satellite positioning or mobile phones, long-range investigation and communication has become a big problem. But the emergence of the skill Spirit Eagle could definitely solved this blind spot. Even though the current detection range of the Spirit Eagle was only 2 kilometers, but as the skill upgrades, its role was bound to become more powerful.
However, after taming an eagle-type enchanted beast or alienation beast, it could no longer be regarded as a monster because it would had lost its ability to fight. It could only be regarded as an extra pair of eyes for its owner.
