Divine-level Base-Chapter 75: Advancing to Hero

The sudden Void Demon invasion had robbed Shu Feng of any sense of security.

Normally, a third- or fourth-tier city like Lei Jiang City would rarely see Void Demon incursions. After all, it held no resources and was of no strategic importance.

But an invasion by a Parasitic Spider Demon, followed by the arrival of the Devouring Ghost Demon Clan, had left the seemingly peaceful little city of Lei Jiang with innumerable casualties and filled Shu Feng’s heart with a sense of dread. He felt an urgent need to increase his strength.

’Time to evolve. I will awaken as a Hero!’

Shu Feng stepped into the Energy Evolution Tower once again. Innumerable jets of mucus gushed out and swirled around him, the ceaseless flow wrapping him in a cyan-colored egg.

A mysterious and unpredictable Source Power flowed ceaselessly from numerous pipes, sinking into Shu Feng’s body. It mixed with his Spiritual Power, guiding the transformation of his bloodline.

One by one, incredibly mysterious Curse Seals surfaced within Shu Feng’s sea of consciousness.

’What’s this?!’

With a thought, Shu Feng made contact with a Curse Seal shaped like a bow and arrow. A line of information surfaced in his mind: "Hero: Divine Archer. Hero Skills: Upper Extraordinary Arrow Technique. Description: Fire nine arrows in a single volley, capable of hitting a mosquito’s wing from ten kilometers away."

’Useless! Snipers are too easily targeted!’

Shu Feng rejected it without hesitation. On the battlefield, experts like Priests and snipers are the first to be targeted. Besides, he already had Camilla, a Top Level Divine Archer, so he had little need for archery skills.

"Hero: Sword Hero. Hero Skills: Superior Extraordinary Swordsmanship. Description: Master powerful Swordsmanship and possess an Extraordinary Talent for it, allowing you to learn any sword style with ease."

’Sword Hero isn’t bad, but I’d need a sword! Since I’m already a Spiritual Spear Master with a Summoned Beast for protection, I spend most of my time in ranged combat. This skill isn’t very cost-effective for me! It can be a backup, though.’

Shu Feng decisively moved on, making contact with the third Curse Seal.

"Hero: Summoner. Hero Skills: Upper-rank Extraordinary Blood Contract. Description: You can form a Blood Contract with a tamed creature, provided you obtain its consent. After the contract is formed, any damage the Summoner receives can be transferred to a contracted creature. Number of contractible creatures: 3!"

’This is it! Summoner! I’m going to awaken the Summoner Heroic Profession! This profession is absolutely perfect for me!’

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up, flashing with excitement as he wrapped his consciousness around the mysterious Curse Seal.

An immense Power suffused Shu Feng’s body, mixing with his Spiritual Power to form a mysterious Curse Seal that floated above his Dantian.

CRACK!

Eight hours later, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and Shu Feng stepped out of the cyan egg.

"Shu Feng."

"Profession: Hero, Summoner. Growth Rate: 100."

"Heroic Traits: Level Cap Removed."

"Divine Life Form. Power Divinity: 1/1."

"Divine Traits: Fixed Increase in Strength Performance +50%, Divine Resistance +1, Immune to Low-level Lethal Spells!"

"Level: 10."

"Skills: Upper-rank Extraordinary Blood Contract, Upper Extraordinary Summoning Technique."

"Power: 72, Agility: 54, Defense: 67, Constitution: 77, Intelligence: 78, Spirit: 80, Magic Power: 1543."

"Charm: 40, Spiritual Power: 1543, Soul Power: 246."

"Free Points: 0."

"Upper-rank Extraordinary Blood Contract. Description: You can form a Blood Contract with a tamed creature, provided you obtain its consent. After the contract is formed, any damage the Summoner receives can be transferred to a contracted creature. Number of contractible creatures: 3!"

"Upper Extraordinary Summoning Technique. Description: You can instantly summon creatures with whom you have a Blood Contract. This summoning consumes Spiritual Power. The stronger or more numerous the summoned creatures, the more Magic Power is consumed."

’For my Blood Contract creatures, I could synthesize a few Kings of Goblins! Those thick-skinned meat shields would be perfect.’

A slight smile played on Shu Feng’s lips as he looked at his physical attributes. ’My current physique is nearly on par with a King of Goblins. In other words, in terms of physical attributes alone, I’m already close to a Spirit Master Level monster. Sister You Meng’s physical stats definitely can’t compare to mine.’

The physical constitution of the Human Race was generally no match for that of Fantasy Species. Although You Meng was an expert in Spirit Martial Arts, in terms of physical attributes alone, she was absolutely no match for the current Shu Feng.

A flicker of regret crossed Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Now that I’ve become a Hero, my level cap has been removed. If I could go adventuring in the Andoras World, I could level up quickly and increase my strength. Here in this world, however, it’s not so convenient.’

After advancing to become a Professional Skill User and implanting a Skill Seed, that seed would absorb the life from slain monsters, converting it into something like experience points for the Professional Skill User to level up.

However, the Life Force a Professional Skill User could absorb from killing a monster on Blue Star was over ten thousand times less than what they could absorb from killing a monster in the Andoras World. Leveling up as a Professional Skill User on Blue Star was an arduous task.

Shu Feng had chosen to evolve into a Hero precisely because he coveted the Extraordinary Skills he would gain, which would cause his combat power to skyrocket.

"You! Get over here!"

At Shu Feng’s command, a Goblin Leader immediately strode before him.

Shu Feng pointed a finger, and his Spiritual Power drained rapidly, forming a blood-red Curse Seal that sank into the space between the Goblin Leader’s eyebrows.

In an instant, Shu Feng keenly felt an incredibly subtle connection form between himself and the Goblin Leader.

Shu Feng asked, ’To what extent can 20 points of Demon God’s Power evolve me?’

"For 20 points of Demon God’s Power, the optimal evolution options are: assist in the cultivation of Hundred Refinements Steel Body, allowing for the rapid completion of the first ten refinements. Alternatively, it can enhance your six basic attributes, increasing them by a total of 20 points. Or, it can improve your cultivation of the Great Sun Scripture, increasing your Spiritual Power cap by 3,000."

’It’s better to use it to assist my Hundred Refinements Steel Body cultivation! High Defense is king!’

With a thought, Shu Feng decided to save the 20 points of Demon God’s Power.

As Shu Feng’s strength increased, it became increasingly difficult for the Demon God’s Power to enhance his physical attributes. After all, the stronger a life form became, the more difficult it was to take the next step in evolution.

The human physique was inherently weaker than that of other Fantasy Species. Thus, while the Demon God’s Power could significantly boost Shu Feng’s Spiritual Power, it struggled to drastically improve his physical attributes, which were already approaching the human limit for the Spirit Warrior Realm on Blue Star.

"Sister You Meng, have you heard anything from the captain?"

Shu Feng walked out of the Base Space and immediately called You Meng.
