Chapter 766: Godslayer Path [2]

The panel was now vastly different from before.

Dense lines of text nearly filled his entire view.

The cause of this change lay in the Professional information section.

Nearly thirty new, distinct entries had appeared.

Such as:

[Professional: Iron Giant]

[Sequence Eight: Black Iron Disciple (Can turn one’s entire skin into Black Iron, as if cast from refined steel, capable of resisting attacks from light firearms and receiving a significant boost to physical strength.)]

…

[Professional: Rain Master]

[Sequence Eight: Mistwalker (Possesses the ability to manipulate mist and can summon rain within a small area.)]

…

[Professional: Holy Knight]

[Sequence Nine: Light-Forged Attendant (Can briefly enchant a weapon with Holy Light to deal extra damage to dark creatures; gains minor damage resistance.)]

…

[Professional: Mechanician]

[Sequence Seven: Mechanical Puppet Master (Proficient in mechanical structures; can temporarily metallize one’s body, create mechanical Puppets, and control them remotely through willpower.)]

…

These numerous and complex pieces of Professional information scrolled past like a flowing stream. They were the Extraordinary Traits he had plundered over this period.

If it were an ordinary Professional, even if they could multiclass, they would need to spend a massive amount of time advancing in each path.

Furthermore, some individual Professional paths might be antithetical to their own, making it impossible to acquire them.

But Hu Qi was different.

He had forcibly seized most of these Extraordinary Traits using his Heaven-Seizing Technique.

Besides, the so-called conflict between Extraordinary Traits was utter nonsense in his eyes.

To put it bluntly, the conflicts arose because these Professional paths contained the imprints of unknown entities.

Spirituality and the Extraordinary Traits themselves had no inherent conflict.

The root of the problem lay with the imprints left by those entities.

This was why advancing along a Professional path was said to be fraught with madness and danger.

This was because upon advancement, these imprints would either deepen or establish a direct connection to some unknown entity.

But Hu Qi’s essence as a True God allowed him to easily erase those imprints.

Even if that didn’t work, there was still the Crimson panel.

He could use Modification Points to solve such problems with ease.

Therefore, he had nothing to worry about.

At this moment, his power had increased yet again. His strongest Professional Path had now reached Sequence Seven.

This was the highest Sequence he had seized.

A Sequence Six Professional was also considered a ‘Master,’ but their strength was on a completely different level.

Besides, a Professional of that level was among the most powerful individuals in all of Night Crow Harbor.

However, while Hu Qi’s strongest single path was only at Sequence Seven, in a real fight, no one below Sequence Six—or an even higher Sequence—would be a match for him.

Hu Qi possessed up to thirty different Professional Paths, and that was only because he had deliberately screened his targets, choosing Professionals from a wide variety of disciplines.

After all, what he needed was Mystical Knowledge about different Professionals, not pointless slaughter.

Moreover, as his own power grew, the Heaven-Seizing Technique had become capable of plundering the memories of the Professionals themselves.

This also saved him some trouble.

Although the highest Sequence Level among his thirty-plus Professional Paths was only Sequence Seven, the cumulative enhancements were terrifyingly immense, and the variety of abilities at his disposal was truly bizarre.

This was also why, up to now, none of those Federation Agents or other Professionals had been able to catch him.

His endless arsenal of abilities, drawn from many different Professional paths, was the main reason for this.

Of course, this was also because the targets Hu Qi hunted were all Low Tier Professionals.

He also avoided targeting anyone from the Federation or the True God Churches.

As a result, High Tier Professionals paid him no mind.

Compared to the truly fanatical Evil God’s Followers, everything Hu Qi had done was mere child’s play in the eyes of the High Tier Professionals—nothing worth their attention.

Reining in his thoughts, he ignored that information, his gaze finally settling on two faintly glowing lines of text at the very bottom.

————

[Professional: Godslayer]

[Sequence Nine: Sword Sharpener (Not Advanced) (Advancement Requirement: Personally sharpen a Longsword until its edge is successfully honed.)]

…

[Modification Points: 128983 (91%)]

This Professional Path was not plundered.

Rather, it was the final product of his own design, created with the help of the Crimson system and his own deductions.

He had spent nearly twenty to thirty thousand Modification Points to create it.

The Professional Path was named Godslayer.

Its purpose: to forge a god-slaying blade from a mortal shell and to achieve the Supreme Sword Dao through Divine Blood.

Simply put, it was a Professional Path for slaying gods.

This Professional Sequence was incomplete; only a rough outline of the path existed so far.

The portion that was complete and ready for advancement only reached up to Sequence Six.

As for the subsequent paths from Sequence Five to Sequence One, he still lacked the key Mystical Knowledge to fill them in, so they were far from complete.

However, this was enough for Hu Qi for now.

He could gradually gather what he needed later to complete this Extraordinary Path.

If all else failed, he could always spend a large number of Modification Points to formulate the rest.

‘This Longsword is decent, but it’s ultimately a mundane item. It needs some more work!’

After examining it for a moment, he took the Longsword into the room.

From under the bed, Hu Qi retrieved a wooden box.

Resting quietly inside the box were several pieces of faintly glowing Secret Spirit Silver, a few strangely shaped ores, and the sharp fang of an unknown creature.

He spread his fingers, and the materials rose into the air as if drawn by an Invisible Power, beginning to circle the unsharpened Longsword.
