Scourge Messenger

Chapter 400 Fourth Job Advancement: Beidou Messenger
When Yan Qing found out his professional information through the game console, he felt a mix of emotions, a little regretful and a little remorseful.

Well, you could say it's strong, but it's not really that strong; it's just an ordinary gold-tier rare profession. But you could also say it's weak, because Yan Qing once had the opportunity to turn it into a top-tier profession.

"Beidou Messenger (Rare)"

"Attribute bonuses: Health x2.5, Spirit x2, Dexterity x1.5"

"Musou Tensei (Blue Trait): Your only point of attack is the central axis of your body."

"Soaring Dance (Blue Trait): When you are in the air and do not perform any other actions, your hit point is only the center point. All attacks that do not include the center point will be automatically dodged by you (unless you perform other actions)."

"The Big Dipper governs life and death (golden characteristic): The Big Dipper shines down and controls life and death; all beings are reincarnated before the Emperor."

All your attacks that can affect the target have a 0.1% to 1% chance to deal an additional 10000 damage (the damage type is the same as your attack). The higher the damage you deal, the greater the probability of triggering "Northern Dipper's Death Spell".

Beidou is doomed!

A class characteristic that directly deals 10000 points of damage!
Before the Cataclysm update, aside from a few powerful abilities that could deal a percentage of maximum health, this was the maximum damage a player could inflict during the Foundation Establishment stage!
Although this probability is incredibly low—even at the maximum 1% probability, his expected output is only 100 damage per attack—how easy is it for a Foundation Establishment player to stack attacks? Take Bunny Girl's [Candle Tears Red], for example. In addition to the damage from the fire wall, she can also leave candle tears on the enemy. 10 candle tears equals 10 attacks, and for large demons, there is no limit to the number of candle tears!

Even with the lowest probability of 0.1%, 10 drops of candle tears will trigger once every 100 seconds, which would take away a large chunk of health from even a fourth-tier demon king!

A clever child might realize that this is just the expected damage of 100 points per second, which isn't that impressive.

However, during the fight against the BOSS, this kind of instant damage is very suitable for skipping phases. For example, when fighting the 'Raging Erosion Bird', if there is such a hit at the end, you can skip the death phase of the Eight Directions Water Wave. '100 points of damage per second for 100 seconds' and '10000 points of damage in an instant' are completely different concepts in the battle.

However, if that's all there is to it, it's only a T3-level gold trait, not much stronger than a blue trait, and even inferior to the Rain Messenger's [Rainfall Torrent].

What truly brought it into the players' view was the life-saving ability [Rain Weaving Net]!
That's right, the Big Dipper Messenger is one of the core components of the ultimate probability build that Yan Qing had seen before. If you collect all the components, including the [Rain Weaving Net], you can enter the [Rain Weaving Net Time] after a period of battle, during which all attacks can trigger all the probabilistic wonders!
Imagine, 10 drops of candle tears, each capable of inflicting 10000 extra points of damage...

The player who created this probability build once solo-challenged and successfully defeated the sixth-tier dungeon boss 'Yanluo Daozhu' at level 49, becoming famous overnight!
However, for a long time, this probability-based build was only somewhat playable in PvE, and almost useless in PvP, because the condition for triggering [Beidou's Death] is 'an attack that affects the target', and the courier has a defensive barrier that is equivalent to being immune to this most powerful killing method.

That was the case, at least before Yan Qing's time travel.

But things are different now. With the implementation of the Calamity Karma, all of Yan Qing's attacks can now deal damage to the target! And don't forget, the damage type of [Beidou's Death Inflicted] is the same as the damage type of Yan Qing. When Yan Qing deals true damage to the enemy, [Beidou's Death Inflicted] will also become 10000 points of true damage that ignores resistance!
If Yan Qing had known he would be promoted to Beidou Messenger, he would definitely have chosen [Rain Weaving Net] back then. Even though he hasn't collected all the components yet, just the combination of [Rain Weaving Net] and [Beidou Death Spell] means he only needs to attack ten times to reliably kill all Foundation Establishment cultivators below the seventh rank—unless they are extremely specialized super tanky shield-type cultivators, no Foundation Establishment cultivator can withstand 10000 points of true damage!
If probability-based builds were merely for entertainment before Yan Qing's transmigration, then in this version they are probably the top-tier (T0) builds in the PvP arena!

Although the Epitaph is already very good, with a much higher potential and lower limit than the Rain Weave, the Epitaph can only be truly enjoyable after six reincarnations and collecting all the necessary parts, unlike the Rain Weave, which, when combined with the Big Dipper Death, can be activated with just four reincarnations.

Yan Qing's current feeling is like having a girlfriend who is as beautiful as a school beauty, but then turning around and discovering that the ordinary classmate he had feelings for was actually a treasure girl... That's right, just like Nishino Tsukasa and Toujou Aya in "Strawberry 100%".

Without the aid of a life-saving divine power, Yan Qing currently lacks a token for high-frequency attacks, but that doesn't mean the [Big Dipper Death Inscription] is useless. On the contrary, the [Big Dipper Death Inscription] can save Yan Qing a lot of effort.

Such as now.

Yan Qing drew his "Horizontal Autumn Sword" and casually unleashed a sword aura that pierced through the blocking army formation. The sword aura dealt only 800 damage and could be blocked, making it perfect for triggering divine effects due to its long attack range.

The soldiers' defensive barriers rippled, revealing that they were an elite force of messengers. In the next second, everyone caught in the sword energy was cut in two, carving a bloody path through the army!
The probability of "Beidou's Death" only applies to those above the Foundation Establishment stage.

For mortals, the probability is the same whether it's 0.1% or 99%. The suppression of rank makes everything that can happen become certain! Foundation Establishment cultivators are just that devastating when fighting mortals. [Beidou Zhusi] takes this to the extreme. Now, Yan Qing deals at least 10000 points of true damage to any mortal below level 39!
What good is a third-tier messenger? The moment the [Pupil Fire] shines upon them, the true damage from the flames seeps into their bodies, expanding into a raging inferno dealing tens of thousands of points of damage. Now, a casual glance from him is enough to condemn a mortal to death!
Yan Qing suddenly thought of a possibility: the official design of "Beidou Messenger" was clearly intended for easy wins against weaker players, and the probability-based builds were just a fun creation painstakingly put together by players. And in Yan Qing's messenger resume, it seemed that the only secret realm battle he had ever fought was when he was fighting a first-level secret realm with only a third-level cultivation.

He will change his job to "Beidou Messenger". Could it be because the game system considers him a player who only likes to bully weaker players?

"Get out of the way."

However, faced with Yan Qing's feat of killing a third-level commander and more than ten colleagues upon their first meeting, the Hundred Guards showed no panic whatsoever. They drew their bows and arrows, raised their shields and spears, and supernatural powers that transcended willpower took over their bodies.

One ten-thousandth of my own self, one ten-thousandth of my own fear, and one ten-thousandth of the collective will!
“There’s no need to waste time with them.” The Pharmacist stepped past Yan Qing, tossing off his cloak to reveal the Vajra armor beneath: “I’ll clear the way.”

"Leave the archers on the wall to me." Shang Xinlei took out a grappling hook and chuckled, "I'm kind-hearted, I can't bear to see so many people die."

The pharmacist thrust his spear into the ground, instantly causing the earth to tremble and the earth to shake violently. The shockwave swept through the palace passage, causing all the soldiers to cough up blood and fall to the ground!

Dragon and Snake Seven Kills - [Dragon and Snake]!
Shang Xinlei flung out the flying ring, and with a pull of both hands, the flying ring seemed to be pulled by something, carrying a huge rotational potential energy and cutting towards the archers' legs, blowing them all away!
Secret Technique: Wish-Fulfilling Wheel!
The impenetrable wall erected by hundreds of people who occupied the advantageous terrain was easily cleared out by the two of them, leaving a smooth road ahead!
　I subconsciously set the timer to 6 o'clock, sorry, sorry.
