Next morning Shi Chenli saw messages from both Feng Qingyan and Ling Xueyao that they have arrived.
Shi Chenli ignored them and decided to level up to 30 before evening.
First he was thinking of assassinating high-level monsters, but he needs to plan and wait for right moment for perfect assassination and it will cost same amount of time as killing same level monsters.
So, Shi Chenli decided to level up normally.
***
Sun was setting and Shi Chenli was confronting a giant crab.
Name: Sandstorm Crab King
Level: 30
Grade: B
Element: Earth, Water
Skills: Sandstorm, Water Bullet, Sand Escape, Pincer Attack, Earth Armor, Water bullet.
Shi Chenli used void vanish sill and vanished on spot.
Seeing Chenli disappearing sandstorm crab king became alert.
He started burrowing into sand.
At this moment Chenli appeared from behind and used absolute zero domain and Ice Thorn Whip on it.
Although Ice Thorn Whip didn't cause much damage but it still froze crab's joints under the effect of Absolute Zero domain.
Seeing it slowing down due to freezing effect, Shi Chenli deployed vine entanglement and flipped it upside down exposing its soft underbelly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity Shi Chenli used Void Fang dagger and killed sand storm crab king.
As soon as sand storm crab king died Shi Chenli felt a warm current entering his body and coursing through.
He soon heard prompts.
[Ding…]
[Congratulations to player 'Shi Chenli' for leveling up and reaching level 30]
[you can get advancement mission from 'Sky Tower' and advance to Rank 2.]
Shi Chenli sat on the sandy beach and panted heavily.
Finally, he leveled up to 30.
Next he can get a reincarnation mission from his talent and get a new talent.
From Sandstorm Crab King he got:
Energy crystal (f grade)*30, Skill Book (Sandstorm, Water Bullet, Sand Escape, Pincer Attack, Earth Armor, Water bullet)*1, Grain of eternal sand*1, Sand Storm Core*1, Desert Pearl*1, Sandstorm Crab King Bloodline*1, Sand Stone Crab King Pet Egg*1, Crab King's Sigil*1, Sand Crown Shard, Ocean-stone Rune (Broken)*1
Crab King Sigil: Unlock Tidefall Ruins Dungeon.
Shi Chenli rested for a while and drank mana recovery potion. After recovering his mana, he went back to sea city and approached sky tower.
Sky tower in sea city was same as newbie village.
Only difference was that in place of Class Change Sanctuary is advancement sanctuary.
Shi Chenli didn't need guide this time and entered a chamber on second floor.
Unlike in Class Change Sanctuary there was no crystal ball. In its place was an alter with a magic circle engraved on it.
Shi Chenli has done his research; it is Sky Alter to communicate With Sky Curtain's Will.
Shi Chenli stood on the alter and infused his mana in it.
The alter glowed and prompts appeared.
[Ding…]
[player Shi Chenli has reached level 30]
[Meeting Advancement conditions….]
[Select the advancement mode]
[Solo/Lord]
Shi Chenli choose lord without hesitation, for nothing more but it looks cool.
[Player has chosen Lord mode]
[Preparing advancement mission]
[Detected that player has talent "Reincarnation"]
[Changing advancement mission to Reincarnation mission]
[Please choose difficulty]
[Easy/Hard/Hell/Nightmare/Nine Deaths]
Shi Chenli decided to play it safe and choose nightmare difficulty.
But as he was going to choose nightmare difficulty the altar trembles and he accidently chose nine death difficulty.
Chenli froze on the spot as he heard the system prompts.
[you have chosen Nine Death difficulty for reincarnation mission]
[Reincarnation mission is being issued]
[Reincarnation mission: Throne Without a Crown
Location:
Ruined Hall of Kings – a shattered marble citadel buried under centuries of dust and silence.
Found atop the Crowned Spine Mountains, sealed behind a gate that only opens when the player:
Defeats a powerful regional lord or
Gains renown as a leader of others (via war, negotiation, or fame)
The mountain whispers "Only one may sit."
Enter the Ruined Hall of Kings and pass Trials of the Silent King.
Note:
Requires a 6-player team with future roles:
Emperor (Self)
General of the crown- "Your sword is mine. Your war is mine. Your death, if it comes, is mine."
Shadow of the Throne(spymaster)- "Where your light does not reach, my shadow does."
Warden of the Realms (Keeper of Law & Security)-"Order is not a suggestion. It is a command."
Shield of the Sovereign (Protector of the Emperor)-"Where I stand, no harm shall come to you."
Scribe of the Eternal Lore (Keeper of Knowledge, Records and Secrets)-"The past is written in ink, but the future is etched in the stars."
These five players except Emperor will also get a new talent based on their role and this role will become their second hidden class after a trial.
Shi Chenli was still in a daze.
"Nine deaths…nine deaths"
"Ahhhhh"
"You bastard sky curtain"
"Explain to me why this stupid altar trembled."
"Come out"
"I will fight you to death"
Shi Chenli was furious and became crazy with rage.
He took out void Fang Dagger and slashed it at altar.
As dagger touched the altar a lightning struck him out of nowhere.
After many rounds of lightning strikes Shi Chenli calmed down and looked at the reincarnation mission with some resentment.
When he saw the last note he was stunned.
These six I mean five roles can also get a second talent as well as a second hidden class.
But why can't he get a second class.
"Ahhhhh"
"Sky Curtain! You are doing this intentionally."
"Come put and fight me to de…"
Before he could complete his sentence he saw lightning flickering on alter.
So, Shi Chenli decisively shut his mouth and left sky tower, unless he became grilled.
After Shi Chenli left the sky tower. He started to think about who to choose his team members.
He thought about it hard and chose Feng Qingyan as his General of the Crown.
Xue Lan Hua as Scribe of the Eternal Lore (Keeper of Knowledge, Records and Secrets), she is very gentle so none of the other roles suits her.
Thinking of Lan Hua, he smiled unconsciously and opened his email.
There were messages from Ling Xueyan and Feng Qingyan.
There was also a message from Xue Lan Hua.
After seeing it Shi Chenli's spirit refreshed and he asked her to meet at "The Coral Crown" Restraint.
After thinking for a while he also invited Feng Qingyan and Ling Xueyao albeit reluctantly.
Then Shi Chenli was stunned.
He only know these three people.
"Ughhh"
"I will ask Feng Qingyan if he can recommend others"
Xue Lian Hua replied that she will reach the restraint in a while.
As for Feng Qingyan and Ling Xueyao, he ignored them.
He happily walked toward The Coral Crown.
***
He saw a girl in white hair and green dress, standing in front of The Coral Crown.
