Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Extraordinary Strength

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Following Su Mu’s choice, a stream of heat rose from him and rapidly strengthened his body. When the process of strengthening was over, Su Mu’s appearance changed again.

The exquisite leather armor on Su Mu’s body was replaced by a black full-body heavy armor.

This full-body heavy armor included a half-closed headgear, an armor covering the torso, a hand armor that protected his hands and arms, and a diameter armor that protected his legs and feet.

Most of the full-body heavy armor was made of hard steel, but the wrists, knees, ankles, and other joints were connected by iron wires. It had an extremely strong defense and a certain degree of flexibility.

It could be said that other than being a little heavy, this black full-body heavy armor had almost no flaws.

Apart from that, there was a weapon.

Just like the full-body heavy armor, after the job change, a strange blade appeared in Su Mu’s hand.

The entire mo dao was nearly two meters long.

Other than the half-meter long hilt in Su Mu’s hand, the rest of it was the body of the blade. The color of the mo dao was the same as the heavy armor on his body. It was completely black. Only the blade and the tip of the blade revealed a touch of snow-white sharpness!

There was no need to test it. Just from its appearance, one could see how sharp this mo dao was.

If it were to clash with the long knife that he obtained when he switched to ‘Militia’, this mo dao would probably be able to cut through the long knife with just a light strike!

Although its quality could not be compared to the Black Dragon Blade, this mo dao was specially made for the job he chose. It was very heavy!

“Heavy Armor Mo Dao Soldier!”

Waving the mo dao in his hands, listening to the “chi-chi” sound of the blade cutting through the air, Su Mu could not help but exclaim, “As expected of a hidden job. This is an elite unit that is suitable for me!”

The heavy armor on Su Mu’s body was very weighty.

The blade in Su Mu’s hand was also very heavy.

Even so, this was not a problem.

Su Mu had just completed his job transition, and there were still dozens of attribute points that he had yet to use.

When Su Mu had used up all his attribute points and raised his combat power to another level, the heavy armor on his body and the heavy blade would no longer be a weakness. Instead, it would become an advantage.

That was because as long as Su Mu could use it freely, the heavier the blade was, the more powerful it would be when he swung it!

After familiarizing himself with his strengthened body once again, Su Mu opened his attribute panel and checked his current attributes.

What surprised Su Mu was that after this job change, his combat power had increased from 41 points to 48 points, instead of only increasing by two or three points as he had expected!

In other words, after changing his job to the hidden unit ‘Heavy Armored Mo Dao Soldier’, his combat power increased by 8 points, instead of the 5 points he gained after changing his job to a regular elite unit!

However, the additional 3 points of combat power widened the gap between Su Mu and the other elite units.

Next, it was time to strengthen Su Mu’s skills.

As Su Mu’s unit rose from an advanced one to an elite one, the level cap of his four skills also rose from Level 10 of Advanced Skills to Level 10 of Elite Skills.

What was worth mentioning was that…

After changing his job to ‘Heavy Armored Mo Dao Soldier’, his blade skills also received an upgrade, saving him one attribute point.

Four skills.

Forty-eight attribute points.

Su Mu thought for a bit and added 9 attribute points to ‘Elite Blade Skill’, directly raising this skill to the max, Level 10.

Martial Strength +3.

Immediately after, Su Mu took out 20 attribute points and raised ‘Advanced Bow Skill’ and ‘Beginner Spear Throwing Skill’ to ‘Elite Bow Skill’ and ‘Intermediate Spear Throwing Skill’ respectively. He also raised these two skills to the max, Level 10.

Strength +3.

Strength +2.

Su Mu then invested the remaining 7 attribute points in ‘Advanced Spear Skill’, raising this passive skill to Level 6 ‘Elite Spear Skill’.

As for this method of adding points…

Prioritizing ‘Advanced Spear Skill’ over ‘Basic Spear Throwing Skill’ would increase his strength by one point.

However…

‘Elite Spear Throwing Skill’ and ‘Elite Blade Skill’ had a little overlap. With ‘Elite Blade Skill’ and mo dao as the close combat weapon, ‘Elite Spear Throwing Skill’ only had 3 additional strength points left.

Compared to the additional strength points, Su Mu preferred the ‘Intermediate Spear Throwing Skill’.

At critical moments, the ‘Intermediate Spear Throwing Skill’ could be used as a trump card. It wasn’t as simple as the 2 strength points after the skill upgrade.

At this point…

Su Mu’s job change and enhancement had finally ended!

The night fell.

The farmers in Chang’an Town had already returned to their residences to rest. Avril was still standing outside the barracks, waiting for Su Mu.

It was the same as before.

Even though Avril knew that the job change and advancement between the military branches would not fail, every time she met Su Mu, she could not help but worry.

Avril could only stand quietly outside the barracks, waiting for Su Mu’s job change to end.

One minute.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

A full quarter of an hour passed, and then tightly shut doors of the elite barracks finally opened.

With the dim light from the torches in the barracks, Avril vaguely saw a tall figure walking out of the barracks.

Black armor, a shocking black blade.

Before the person arrived, the powerful aura that came at her made Avril tremble.

If not for the fact that this figure came from the barracks in her territory, and that Su Mu was the only one who entered the barracks, Avril would not have been able to withstand the pressure and would have fled.

The black figure approached step by step.

Avril could not help but ask in a low voice, “Su Mu?”

“It’s me.”

When Su Mu’s familiar voice came from the half-closed black headgear, Avril’s already big eyes suddenly widened. “This is… a hidden job?!”

In the past few days, in order to prepare for Su Mu’s job change, Avril had been on the forums quite a few times.

It could be said that compared to her understanding of the various elite units in the game, Avril was far better than Su Mu.

An elite unit that Avril had never seen before had such a mighty and unfamiliar appearance, emitting a powerful aura. She could only use the term hidden unit to explain it!

“Of course.”

Su Mu’s smiling voice came from the headgear again.

“It’s true!”

Without waiting for Su Mu to say anything else, Avril had already pounced on him and opened the attribute panel.
