Chapter 17: Assassin’s Faith

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Is this the cat demon that is claimed to be vicious?” Li Feng was a little suspicious. According to the information on the official website, the danger level of the Gloomy Cat Forest was comparable to that of the Thunder Gobzan dungeon.

Could the rumors have been wrong?

Swish!

Suddenly, a strong wind blew from Li Feng’s left. A cold chill blew straight towards his skull and a chill travelled down his spine.

He instinctively raised his dagger-wielding arm and covered his ear. Then, with a bang, Li Feng flew out and hit a large tree. He kept coughing.

At that moment, he saw that the one who had attacked him was a huge and yellow cat demon. It could reach his knees when it stood up on all fours. Its four claws were extremely sharp, and its pupils were vertical, making it seem extremely cold.

Li Feng gasped in shock. It was no wonder they said that this Gloomy Cat Forest was extremely dangerous. If his senses weren’t sharp, how would he be able to withstand this sudden attack?

“RX Pursuer.”

Li Feng raised his hand, and an RX Pursuer appeared. The RX Pursuer then ran towards the cat demon.

A teasing expression appeared on the cat demon’s face. Then, it scurried into the dark forest and instantly disappeared, leaving the RX Pursuer pacing around.

“This is troublesome. This cat demon is too agile and can dodge the RX Pursuer in an instant. It can’t kill them effectively.” Li Feng frowned when he saw this.

This was equivalent to crippling one of his skills. From the looks of it, there were many strange dimensional creatures in the world. Thus, it was normal for some of his skills to be countered.

This matter made the originally arrogant Li Feng become cautious again. Before he became truly powerful, he would still choose to hide and slowly extract skills.

Then, Li Feng summoned three more robots that surrounded him. This way, no matter which direction an attack came from, he had the confidence to resist it.

Whoosh whoosh…

As expected, although the cat demons had some intelligence, they seemed to have only very low intelligence. In the end, they couldn’t stand the temptation. The two cat demons rushed down from the top of the tree and slashed at Li Feng’s head. If they slashed the robots, they would definitely explode.

Boom! Boom! The two RX Pursuers instantly exploded and terrifying flames instantly swept towards the cat demons. The abdomens of the cat demons were burnt black, and their fur had melted. As a result, they fell to the ground, barely breathing. Then, Li Feng simply went up to end them.

Ding! ‘”Killed two cat demons. Game character level raised to Level 10.”

“The Assassin skills you can extract are as follows. Skill 1: Flash Thrust (Swoop forward and unleashing lightning-like rapid attacks, which can cause double damage to the enemy.)”

“Skill 2 (Passive Skill): Assassin’s Faith (Belief in the God of Assassins allows you to enter a concealed state at any time and reduce the consumption of Assassin skills by 10%.)”

“Skill 3: Bone Shield (Summons a shield made of white bones. It has a certain degree of damage reflection effect.)”

“Hu, it’s another passive skill. It can’t be the same as the Mechanical Heart? Is it a breathing technique?” Seeing that he could extract three skills, Li Feng’s eyes widened, and his breathing became hurried.

However, he took another look at the third skill, Bone Shield. He was a little reluctant to part with it as shield-type skills were very rare. Furthermore, the Bone Shield also had a certain degree of damage reflection. It was simply the best among the best.

This made Li Feng fall into a dilemma. He hadn’t expected two good skills to appear this time. After thinking for a while, he still made a decision. “I choose to extract Skill 2: Assassin’s Faith.”

Compared to a skill, a breathing technique was clearly more useful and could increase his potential.

However, just as he made his decision, he felt uneasy. He wondered if the two breathing techniques would conflict with each other. Then, one of them might simply disappear like the Exorcism Breathing Technique.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Li Feng felt his brain buzz. It was as if the Assassin’s Faith had appeared in him. It felt like a mysterious power was blessing him.

The next moment, he opened his attribute panel to see if there were any new changes.

Player: Li Feng

Class: Unchanged Class

Life Rank: Primary Rank

Strength: 7

Intelligence: 13

Speed: 9

Stamina: 6

Breathing Technique: Mechanical Heart, Assassin’s Faith

Skills: RX Pursuer, Flash Arrow

“As expected, the Assassin’s Faith is also a breathing technique. The Mechanical Heart hasn’t disappeared either. Furthermore, my speed attribute has reached the Class advancement requirements, and my power has also increased a little.” Li Feng couldn’t help but laugh. He had really profited this time. Furthermore, the Assassin’s Faith also had a hidden attribute which allowed him to enter a concealed state.

After learning a new skill, Li Feng couldn’t help but try it out. He simply activated the Assassin’s Faith and entered a concealed state. Then, his aura instantly disappeared.

“Meow meow…”

He stayed where he was and didn’t move. After a while, there were cat cries around him. Cat demons came out of nowhere and walked around in the dark forest like elegant noble ladies.

“There are more than ten cat demons.” Li Feng’s pupils suddenly shrank. It wasn’t that there were no cat demons in the Gloomy Cat Forest. Instead, his intrusion into the forest made all of the cat demons hide.

Whoosh whoosh…

Li Feng tried to summon his RX Pursuer. However, he didn’t expect that due to the influence of the Assassin’s Faith, these robots seemed to become somewhat transparent. They silently approached the dozen or so cat demons, which were still wandering around without sensing anything. They didn’t seem to know that danger had arrived.

Boom! Boom! A violent explosion sounded as terrifying flames wreaked havoc, instantly engulfing all the cat demons.

Ding! “Killed 12 cat demons!”

Ding! “Killed three kitten demons!”

“…”

With the help of the Assassin’s Faith, Li Feng was like a hunter who constantly killed the cat demons in the Gloomy Cat Forest. Meanwhile, his experience also increased gradually.

Ding! “Killed 18 cat demons. Game character level raised to Level 11!”

Ding! “Two game characters have reached the same level and have started to connect with each other. After connecting with each other, their levels can be shared.”

“Oh? There’s such a good thing?”

Upon hearing this news, Li Feng was suddenly stunned. Their levels could be shared. In that case, could it be that as long as he trained in one character in the future, he would be able to increase the levels of two characters at the same time?

Ding! “Characters’ levels are being synchronized. This will take an hour. You have been forcibly logged out from the game.”

The next moment, the screen of Li Feng’s phone instantly turned black. The feeling of being connected to the character in the game also disappeared. He asked curiously, “Could it be that the system is upgrading?”

He opened his attribute interface again and saw that the extracted skills were still the same as before. He then heaved a sigh of relief.

“It looks like this is a normal change.” However, since he couldn’t play his game, Li Feng suddenly felt a little empty. He looked at the time and saw that it was only 11pm. He muttered, “How should I spend this hour?”

Ever since he became obsessed with games, it was common for him to play all night. Thus, this timing was still very early for Li Feng.

“Forget it. I’ll go online and see if there’s any way to earn some living expenses.” His parents didn’t leave him with much living expenses. Since Li Feng had already grown up, he had to learn to earn his own money.

Then, he sneaked back to his bedroom. There was an old antique computer that his parents had bought years ago. It took more than ten minutes to turn it on.

After turning on the computer, Li Feng impatiently opened a webpage. Seeing that he could open a webpage normally, he sighed in relief. “Fortunately, the internet fees aren’t overdue yet. Otherwise, I would have to go to the Internet cafe.”
