Chapter 60: God Summoning Stone
“Young man, looking at you, you seem to still have doubts about why you rejected the seven main jobs right? The fact that you can obtain the Badge of Bravery, this kind of situation is not strange. Because for truly strong people, normal jobs will only kill your innate talent and strength, so normal jobs will be instinctively repelled. Just like Nameless in the past. He also repelled all seven of the main jobs.” Kong Xiu was staring at the pure white jade, as he gently spoke. If it wasn’t for his roar a moment ago, the image of him in Ye Tian Xie’s eyes would be an immortal old man with a gentle demeanour.
“Then, what job did Nameless get in the end?” Ye Tian Xie asked. At the same time the words “Hidden Job” was flashing in his heart. Hidden Job - a special job that exceeded the seven main jobs, to the players, these were jobs called “Hidden Jobs”. Hidden Jobs weren’t guaranteed to be stronger than normal jobs, but they did have their specialties, at the same time, Hidden Jobs were all unique and hard to obtain. Hidden Jobs had also existed in «Lift up the Heavens» and «Murder God», but regardless of what game it was, the amount of people with Hidden Jobs did not exceed ten. But in this amount, he wasn’t included. In other words, he had never obtained a Hidden Job, he had always played using a normal job, but still he was able to reach the peak that no one else could reach.
“Solitary Wolf!” Ye Tian Xie’s question made Kong Xiu’s face show an expression of reminiscence, as if he was remembering events in the past that were hard to forget.
“Solitary Wolf?” This job name surprised Ye Tian Xie. This kind of name sounded like the name of a monster, how could it be the name of a job.
“It’s very strange isn’t it?” Kong Xiu laughed, with an expression suggesting it is what it is, he said, “Solitary Wolf…...this was his job and it was a job belonging only to him. Because this job was born from his strength, the job was also named by him. And his strength, it was I who helped him draw it out. In other words, the fact that the Lost Continent could have someone as powerful as Nameless, it was all because of me.”
The first few words, Kong Xiu said with serious face, but the last few words he said, his old face could not hide the proud expression on it. Ye Tian Xie silently once again deducted five points from his impression score.
With this mood he was still considered the strongest Archmage, an enlightened expert…...enlightened my ass!
Although he was thinking this in his heart, but he didn’t show it with his expressions, Ye Tian Xie changed his expression, becoming a face of worship as he looked at Kong Xiu. His timely expression filled Kong Xiu with incomparable satisfaction, as the smiling expression on his face became more gentle, “Young man, you could obtain the Badge of Bravery with your level and stats, instinctively repel all seven main jobs, the only explanation for this is that you have a strong strength hidden inside of you like Nameless did in the past, and this strength of yours has not been discovered yet. Young man, do you think I’m right?”
Ye Tian Xie nodded his head, his strength was too big…...perhaps, it was inherent, perhaps his extraordinary powers affected his character in this world? Or was there another reason?
“He, he, no problem. Actually, I have been waiting for someone as strong as you. Because anyone who could obtain the Badge of Bravery will be someone truly strong. And anyone who can repel job advancement will be the strongest of the strong. So having the chance to see you today, I almost lost control of myself…...Because, perhaps, another person like Nameless will be born!”
Ye Tian Xie: “......”
“This piece of jade stone is called the ‘God Summoning Stone’, it can be considered the most precious and mysterious stone on the Lost Continent, these is only this single piece on the entire Lost Continent. It was the high god of the Lost Continent from the past - Goddess Xi Yao who bestowed it upon Heavenly Stellar City, and it his honoured City Lord that bestowed it upon me, so that I could use it to guide a true powerhouse. Nameless, became Nameless with its help.”
Kong Xiu brought Ye Tian Xie in front of the strange jade, slowly answering his questions while walking. As they got closer, an increasingly gentle feel washed over them from in front of them. Now that they were close, they could see that under the hazy white light, the “God Summoning Stone” was actually a transparent giant piece of jade. White rays seemed to strangely pour out of its transparent body.
“The power of this ‘God Summoning Stone’ is…….As long as its power is used on oneself, it will be able to accurately reveal the person’s strength, and this also included a person’s innate strength. At the same time, if I add in my magical power, it can also slowly awaken a person’s innate strength. In the past, Nameless’ power was awakened like this. Awakening his power and completely mastering it took him a total of three years time. He, truly was a genius.”
In this short period of time, Ye Tian Xie had heard the name time and time again from Kong Xiu’s mouth. And every time this name was mentioned, this old man’s face did not turn into an expression of praise and admiration, rather it was one of pride…...Clearly, he kept mentioning the name of the Lost Continent’s number one expert out of admiration, rather he was using the fact that he awakened Nameless’ power to brag about how great he was.
Ye Tian Xie opened his mouth and asked, “You’re saying……”
“That’s right! There is no doubt that there is a strong power hiding within your body. Now, let me see just how strong the power slumbering within your body is…...Perhaps, it might even be comparable to Nameless!” Kong Xiu nodded as he spoke. Ye Tian Xie felt uncomfortable hearing the name “Nameless” being said once again.
Why don’t you just change your name to Nameless then!”
“How do we do this?”
“Come, put your hand upon the ‘God Sealing Stone’. Close your eyes, eliminate all useless thoughts, don’t make any unnecessary movements, like this is fine.” Kong Xiu stood beside Ye Tian Xie as he spoke to him.
Ye Tian Xie nodded his head, then he walked forward and raised his right hand, his palm was placed on top of the jade stone. Instantly, a gentle sensation was transmitted through his palm, no other sensations could be felt. Ye Tian Xie then closed his eyes, gently breathing twice, as he slowly calmed himself down.
“The reason why the ‘God Summoning Stone’ has eight sides is because each side has a different capacity for measuring strength. When a person’s power is linked to the stone, different intensities will cause different responses from the eight sides. For an ordinary person, his strength will be too weak to even cause a response from the stone, and an expert can cause a single side to glow. And an expert above experts…...like me, can make two sides glow. Then, do you know how many sides Nameless lit up in the past?”.
Ye Tian Xie, “......” He kept his eyes shut and his mind calm, as he slowly felt his aura leave his body and slowly enter into the jade stone in front of him.
