Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 583 - Soloing a Level 110 Lord

A Rank 8 Smothering strike was already enough to amaze Bladelight and the others. If Nie Yan showed them the rest of his skills, he could only imagine their reactions. Would they faint from shock?

"Right, I saw other skills besides your Smothering Strike," Bladelight recalled.

"I have Rank 11 Backbreaker, Rank 9 Concussive Blow..." Nie Yan listed off his skills one by one.

Everyone started with wide eyes. Nie Yan's skills were simply unbelievable!

If it were only one skill, though shocking, it would still be within the realms of common sense. But he had a total of 19 Rank 8+ skills, with the highest being Rank 15. No words could describe how mindblowing this was. With so many powerful skills, Nie Yan could easily take on an equal level Lord. As long as it wasn't a broken existence such as the Miasma Scorpion King, even challenging a Lord over Level 100 was possible.

Rank 11 Backbreaker, Rank 10 Reverse Grip Backstab, Rank 10 Counter, Rank 10 Phantom Assassination, Rank 10 Flicker Strike, Rank 7 Backstab, Rank 8 Smothering Strike, Rank 9 Concussive Blow, Rank 15 Kick...

Any one of these skills was enough to drive a player mad with envy. Given Nie Yan had five Freedom Skills at Rank 10+, his regular skills like Smothering Strike and Concussive Blow really didn't seem like much now. Unless you used some sort of special method, raising your skills to this level would take years!

"Man, I want to train my skills in that map too!" Bladelight said in envy. The others likely felt the same way. It was a pity Venita's Dreamland was exclusive to the Legend of the Ten Holy Paladins' questline.

"A map for training skills, huh..." Nie Yan suddenly recalled a certain map with an NPC that helped players train their skills. The rate at which they acquired skill proficiency would be significantly higher. "When you guys reach Level 120, I'll bring you to a map just like that. You'll gain about three times skill proficiency, maybe up to eight times or even higher if you're skilled enough."

Though nowhere near as good as Venita's Dreamworld, that map still had its merit.

Its location was fairly well hidden. A player only happened to stumble upon it by a stroke of luck in the previous timeline. The real trouble started when it became known to the public. Since that NPC only issued out this quest to 500 people a day, the number of disputes that broke out around him were too many to count. Victorious Return had once tried to monopolize this map for a period of time, incurring the fierce retaliation of all other guilds until they finally relented. After all, it wasn't like they discovered this map first. What right did they have to it?

Asskickers United would really hit the jackpot if they could monopolize this map. With higher ranking skills, levelling for their members would naturally become easier, allowing them to pull further ahead of their competition.

As for any misgivings other guilds might have, since this map was discovered by Asskickers United first, they had full authority over it. This was an unspoken rule among players.

Hearing Nie Yan's words, Bladelight and the others showed strong interest. They always felt like the ranks of their skills were lacking, especially when levelling. It was having a serious impact on their development. They wanted to train their skills, but the process was too slow. They had to sacrifice a great deal of time. If there were some sort of shortcut, it would save them a lot of trouble.

Everyone suddenly felt a strong urge to train their skills. Bladelight and the others were the top players in the Viridian Empire. If they put their minds to something, the results would be astonishing.

After sorting everything out and recuperating, Bladelight's team prepared to continue exploring Griffon Woodlands. After all, flying mounts were of vital importance. If they could build a Griffon Cage in the Cripps Stronghold, Asskickers United's aerial force would benefit immensely.
