Chapter 847 Asura Professional Skills
Soon, Xiaomei spotted a spot: "Warrior, come here, here!"

When Da Chun stepped forward to take a look, he saw that it was just a tiny whirlpool.

Xiao Mei laughed and said, "Did you notice anything? This whirlpool is not affected by the surrounding water flow at all, which means it is not affected by the surrounding large whirlpools. That means it is not an ordinary whirlpool."

Da Chun activated his Divine Craftsman-level Spatial Arts to investigate, and sure enough—System notification: Your Divine Craftsman-level Spatial Arts has discovered multiple overlapping spaces.

Da Chun was astonished: "Overlapping space! So, you mean I should cut it down now?"

Xiao Mei smiled and said, "You can definitely do it!"

You have more confidence in me than I do! To be honest, I've encountered many large vines like these in overlapping spaces, such as in the underground of the gem shop in the Imperial City of Emeralds. Large vines don't have the power of chaos, so they can only slowly crawl through with vines. But this is a small vine, which I've been leaving to Earth Lotus to automate, so I haven't had time to explore my own potential!
Da Chun raised his hand and slashed down at the small vortex!

Like drawing a sword to cut water, the whirlpool instantly split in two, and the whirlpool grew larger!
—Asura Class Prompt: Your extraordinary wisdom and the successful integration of the Divine Craftsman-level module combination with the Divine Craftsman-level Spatial Arts and Chaos Power have allowed you to successfully cleave through multiple overlapping spaces. You have now mastered the class skill "Elementary Asura Spatial Slash Level 1"! You have gained the following achievements: Attack +1, Magic Attack +1, Health +1, Stamina +1.

Asura Space Slash Level 1: Slay gods, slay demons, slay space! Chaos Power +1.

……

Holy crap! Da Chun was stunned into silence!

I'm really good at this; as long as I find the right place to level up, I can master it in one hit!

I've always felt that the Asura class I've mastered since returning from a thousand years ago, aside from a huge boost to regular stats, the addition of Chaos attributes to attacks, and a bunch of standard combat skills, is just a Grandmaster-level warrior. It's not as overpowered as I imagined. At least when I'm in close combat with the 72 Pillar Demon Lords in the early stages of the quest, I don't think I'll have much of an advantage.

Now it seems that it was because I had never had any professional skills!

Look at how few class skills warriors have!

Da Chun got excited: "Should I continue cutting?"

Xiao Mei laughed and said, "Of course! Such a small vortex can't hold meteorite iron!"

Da Chun asked in surprise, "You mean, throw the meteorite into the space behind this vortex? Will we still be able to retrieve it?"

Xiao Mei said, "We can look for it slowly later. The important thing now is not to let the Empire get it. If we can't find it later, the Empire will have even less chance of finding it. Let's hurry, or the vortex will shrink again."

Da Chun was both amused and exasperated: "Okay."

And so another strike landed—Shura class notification: Congratulations! ...Your Shura Space Combat has reached Beginner Level 2!
Holy crap, this beginner skill is so easy to level up! I wonder how high I can get here.

Da Chun was having a blast, slashing with his left hand and then with his right, his skills leveling up to intermediate in less than half a minute!
Hahaha, how long has it been since I felt this good leveling up my skills? How long has it been since I saw that sea?!
Upon reaching the intermediate level, the cut was indeed far greater than that of the beginner level, and it quickly cleaved the vortex into a well-sized opening! However, it lacked the rapid leveling momentum of the beginner level.

Xiao Mei smiled and said, "Perfect!"

After saying that, he manipulated the water element to roll up the two lumps of meteorite iron and threw them in.

With this throw, the vortex not only did not expand, but shrank dramatically.

Xiao Mei said urgently, "Quick, keep cutting, don't let it shut down."

Da Chun immediately slashed down with his sword, asking at the same time, "Does closing it mean there's no more vortex here?"

Xiao Mei said, "Yes, the balance of the vortex has been broken, which is a sign that the vortex is about to disappear." Da Chun quickly slashed again and again, his proficiency leveling up rapidly, finally reaching level 2.

At the same time, Xiaomei also threw in more than a dozen meteorites—but when the last meteorite went in, the vortex collapsed with a roar.

It wasn't shut down, it was gone? Da Chun tried to stab it twice more on the spot, but there was no reaction.

Xiao Mei laughed and said, "It's okay, I've found many places like this, let's go to the next one."

Da Chun suddenly remembered something: "Now that we've lost more than a dozen meteorites, our ice chariot is starting to rise!"

Xiao Mei laughed and said, "That's even simpler!"

After saying that, an ancient behemoth swam onto the ice cart and gently pressed down on its belly, causing the ice cart to sink again.

Um... it is indeed simple. Why would I ask such a simple question? Probably because I can't possibly command a giant beast, so I wouldn't even think of that.

Da Chun asked, "Xiao Mei, can I go into that vortex?"

Xiao Mei said in a deep voice, "I don't know!"

Da Chun asked in surprise, "If we can't get in, how will we find the meteorite later?"

Xiao Mei said, "Like I said before, let's not consider that for now. Our only concern right now is preventing the Empire from getting it."

Okay. But if I don't go in, how can I increase my Chaos Power? Will the few dozen points from skill upgrades be enough?
The convoy continued its journey. Da Chun's emotions were in turmoil.

Just like Xiaomei said, when the fisherman kneels down upon meeting me, there's no need to continue with the script I prepared earlier. Similarly, when I first complete 20 missions and then announce the elimination of the guardian spirit, there's really no need to continue with the follow-up missions that the CEO sister customized for me.

First, the significance of a single guardian deity is enough to overshadow a group of demonic pillars, enough to warrant the Emperor's absolute attention. Second, I'm actually not sure if this CEO sister is setting me up, or if these first 20 tasks are really about dealing with the 72-pillar family. Anyway, all the system prompts are from the Magic Crystal Screen, which can be named arbitrarily; whatever it says goes…

Not right either!
I'm not sure if the CEO's follow-up mission will involve the Southern Canyon Village of Black Iron City. What if the Magic Crystal Screen identifies the village chief as one of the Demon Gods? I can choose not to fight, but I need to be aware that the CEO has also set her sights on Canyon Village.

In short, it's decided that once things are settled in the Arctic, the remaining missions will just be procedural and won't involve any combat!
Soon, the next small whirlpool arrived.

Xiao Mei laughed and said, "Warrior, over here!"

Da Chun couldn't wait any longer and immediately aimed for the advanced level!

……

Headquarters of the Shinzen Sentai.

The young master received a call from the steward: "Understood, full cooperation! Our Hell Mining Group has accumulated a large amount of mineral crystals, and we also have many high-end mineral veins. We can definitely launch a siege operation on a scale far exceeding that of Southern Canyon Village..."

The young master breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

The siege has finally begun! This wave of mining achievements should allow all 1000 team members with expert-level mining skills to reach the third level of Hell. That's the Demon Realm, a place with vast potential for development!
Meanwhile, Xiaoshan-kun, who had already reached the third level of Shadow Demon City, made a major breakthrough. Not only did he intercept—and more—he also confirmed that Tatami and Sishimi were the two defected Curry internal engineers who had created simple tasks for themselves to level up quickly.

Xiaoshan-kun took off thanks to their mission and successfully became a Shadow Demon in human form—meaning his shadow could deform and stretch, making him practically a shadow-controlling ninja from legends! This is far superior to a simple, formless Shadow Demon…
