Chapter 1014: Chapter 843: Asura Profession Skill

Very soon, Mei spotted a spot: "Warrior, come here, over here!"

Chun stepped up for a look—turns out it was a tiny Vortex.

Mei laughed and said, "See anything? This Vortex isn’t affected by the surrounding currents at all, which means it’s not affected by that big Vortex nearby either, which shows this is definitely not an ordinary little whirlpool."

Chun activated Divine Craftsman Level Spatial Technique to scan, and sure enough—system prompt: Your Divine Craftsman Level Spatial Technique has discovered multiple overlapping spaces.

Chun was stunned: "Overlapping space! So, you mean I should slash it now?"

Mei laughed: "You can totally do it!"

You have more faith in me than I do in myself! Honestly, my main Vine account has run into these overlapping spaces a lot, like under the Gemstone shop in Imperial Holy Emerald City. The main doesn’t have Power of Chaos, can only slowly burrow in with Vine. But this is my alt now, I’ve been AFK with Earth Lotus doing all the grind, never had time to explore my own potential!

Chun raised his hand like a blade and chopped down toward that little Vortex!

Like slicing through water—the Vortex instantly split into two halves, and even grew a size!

—Asura Profession prompt: Your extraordinary Wisdom, plus the successful Divine Craftsman Level Module Combination between Divine Craftsman Level Spatial Technique and Power of Chaos, has successfully slashed through multiple overlapping spaces. You have comprehended the Profession skill "Basic Asura Spatial Slash Lv1"! You have gained Achievement: Attack +1, Magic Attack +1, Life +1, Physical Strength +1.

Asura Spatial Slash Lv1: Slash gods, slash demons, slash space! Power of Chaos +1.

...

Holy Shit! Chun’s jaw practically hit the floor!

I really pulled it off—find the right leveling spot and it’s literally one slash, instant enlightenment!

I’ve always felt that this Asura Profession I awakened after my thousand-year comeback, aside from pumping a wave of basic Attributes, adding Chaos Attribute to Attack, and making a bunch of regular Combat Skills Grandmaster-level, it still felt kind of like just a Grandmaster Level Warrior. Not as broken as I imagined; at least when I went melee with those first several 72 Pillar Demon nobles in the quest chain, it didn’t feel like I had that big an advantage.

Looks like it’s because I never had any Profession skills!

Look at Warrior—just look at how many Profession skills they have!

Chun got excited: "Should I keep slashing?"

Mei laughed: "Of course! This Vortex is too small to stuff Meteorite Iron into!"

Chun blinked: "You mean, toss the Meteorite Iron into the space behind this Vortex? Can we get it back later?"

Mei said, "We’ll slowly look for it in the future. Right now the main thing is to stop the Empire from getting it. If we can’t find it later, the Empire definitely won’t. Hurry up, or the Vortex will heal and shrink again."

Chun could only give a wry smile: "Alright then."

So he swung down another slash—Asura Profession prompt: Congratulations! ... Your Asura Spatial Slash has risen to Basic Lv2!

Holy Shit, this Basic skill is really easy to grind. Wonder how many levels I can squeeze out of this spot.

Chun went at it with relish, left-hand slash, right-hand slash, the skill bar went刷刷刷 and in under half a minute it shot up to Intermediate!

Wahahaha, how long has it been since I’ve had such a satisfying skill grind? How long has it been since I’ve seen that ocean~~~~

After reaching Intermediate, the gap opened by each slash was obviously far larger than at Basic, and in just a few hits Chun chopped the Vortex open to the size of a well! But the crazy exp gain momentum from Basic was gone.

Mei laughed: "Perfect timing!"

She said that, then controlled a Water Element to roll up two lumps of Meteorite Iron and toss them in.

With that toss, the Vortex not only didn’t expand, it actually shrank sharply.

Mei hurriedly shouted: "Quick, keep slashing, don’t let it close!"

Chun instantly chopped down again while asking, "By close, you mean the Vortex disappears from here?"

Mei said, "Right. The balance of the current has been broken—that’s the precursor to the Vortex vanishing."

Chun hurried another slash, then another—proficiency rose刷刷—and he finally pushed it up to Lv2.

At the same time, Mei tossed more than ten chunks of Meteorite Iron inside—but when the last piece went in, the Vortex suddenly collapsed with a roar.

So it wasn’t closing, it just ceased to exist? Chun tried adding two more slashes in the same spot—no reaction whatsoever.

Mei laughed: "No worries. I’ve found lots of places like this. Let’s go to the next one."

Chun remembered something: "Now that we’re short over ten chunks of Meteorite Iron, our Ice Car is going to start floating upward!"

Mei laughed: "That’s even easier to fix!"

As she spoke, an Ancient Giant Beast swam over to the Ice Car and gently pressed its belly down; the Ice Car sank again.

Uh... that is pretty simple. Why did I even ask such a dumb question? Probably because I can’t command giant beasts, so it never even occurred to me.

Chun asked, "Mei, can I go into that Vortex we just used?"

Mei said gravely, "I don’t know."

Chun frowned: "If we can’t go in, how are we supposed to find the Meteorite Iron later?"

Mei said, "Same as I said earlier—don’t worry about that yet. For now we only care about keeping it out of the Empire’s hands."

Fair enough. But if I don’t go in, how am I going to raise Power of Chaos? Just relying on the few dozen points from skill level-ups?

The convoy moved on again. Chun’s emotions were all over the place.

Like Mei said just now: when the fisherman drops to his knees the moment we meet, the script we prepared in advance is basically pointless. Similarly, once I soloed my way through 20 quests first, then publicly killed a Guardian God, the follow-up quests that President Sister tailored for me honestly don’t need to be cleared anymore.

First, the weight of a single Guardian God is enough to outweigh a whole pack of Demon Pillars, enough to make the Emperor absolutely take me seriously. Second, I’m really not sure whether President Sister is screwing me over—are those first 20 quests really aimed at the 72 Pillar Races? All the system prompts came from the Magic Crystal Screen, and that thing can name anything however it wants. Whatever it says, that’s what it is...

But that’s not quite right either!

I still don’t know if President Sister’s follow-up quests will eventually point toward Southern Canyon Village of Black Iron City or not. What if the Magic Crystal Screen tags the village chief as one of the Demon Gods from a certain Pillar? I can choose not to kill, but I have to be mentally prepared—that would mean Canyon Village has already landed on President Sister’s radar.

Anyway, it’s decided—once things in the Arctic wrap up here, I’ll just go through the motions for the follow-up quests: only use the teleports, don’t fight!

Very soon, the next little Vortex showed up.

Mei laughed: "Warrior, over here!"

Chun was itching to go. First, let’s rush it to Advanced!

...

Divine Presence Battle Team Headquarters.

The Young Master received a call from the butler: "Got it, we’ll fully cooperate! Our Hell Mining Corps has already stockpiled a massive amount of Mineral Crystals, plus quite a lot of high-end ore mined from various mineral veins—we can definitely launch a siege far bigger in scale than Southern Canyon Village..."

Hanging up, the Young Master let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, a siege operation. This wave of mining merits should be enough to let all one thousand team members who’ve reached Expert-level Mining Technique enter the third layer of Hell. That’s the Demon Realm—tons of room to grow!

Meanwhile, Mr. Xiaoshan, who’s already reached Shadow Demon City on the third layer, has also made a huge breakthrough. Not only did he swoop in ahead of the competition—more importantly, he confirmed that Tatami and Xiximi are exactly the two internal Curry engineers who defected. They’re the ones who designed those simple quests that let him level up insanely fast.

Mr. Xiaoshan used their quests to rocket upward and successfully took the Shadow Demon Profession in human physical form—that means his human shadow can morph and stretch, basically a legendary Ninja who controls shadows! Compared to a pure Shadow Demon with no physical form, this is on a whole other level...
