Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

Zheng Dan knelt on one knee.

His face was full of respect.

Although they are essentially two different people.

But the images of historical figures linger in my mind.

She could feel the dejection of her past frustrations and loss of self, and the torment of being tormented by her obsession amplified a billion times as she fell into the deep sea; she never wanted to experience it again.

Zheng Dan hoped to have value, to be truly loved and respected, to be remembered by history and needed by people, and that he must be loyal to his master and protect him!

The master is very strong.

There are multiple Heroic Spirits.

There was an aura that was extremely terrifying.

She felt the pressure of competition and knew she had to work harder to prove herself in order to gain her master's appreciation and cultivation!

"Zheng Dan?"

Xia looked completely surprised.

Instead of summoning the mysterious gentleman in blue, Senior Xiao summoned this peerless beauty, whose appearance even surpasses that of Meng Ying.

Let's get started.

The group hadn't gone far.

They encountered three patrolling Wu Kingdom demon soldiers.

Zheng Dan drew her weapon and said, "Master, why trouble yourself with these insects? Please let me handle them."

Heroic Spirits each have their own distinct personality.

Sun Tzu was always calm, detached, and insightful, possessing the composure and wisdom to remain unfazed even when faced with a collapsing mountain.

Although Zheng Dan is a woman, she has a strong and forthright personality, and a strong desire to perform and a drive to succeed.

"Alright."

Xiao Yu nodded.

Zheng Dan's bright eyes flashed with a sharp light. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and took off into the air. He flew towards the three demon soldiers at an extremely fast speed. His sharp sword light slithered through two of the demon soldiers like a snake.

Blood splattered!

Two were cut.

Finally, it landed on the third demon soldier.

He simply and cleanly severed the head!

"So fast!"

Jiang Xiaxia was stunned!

She didn't see Zheng Dan draw and swing his sword at all. The two were clearly at least twenty meters apart, and the decapitation was completed in an instant.

too strong!

Even with the "Swift as the Wind" spell, Xiao Yu's movement speed and attack speed bursts cannot reach this level.

The other two demon soldiers were enraged and retaliated.

Both weapons struck Zheng Dan simultaneously.

She vanished like a bubble, and at the same time appeared behind the demon soldier, thrusting her twin swords straight at his vital points.

Another one taken down!

Only one left.

Zheng Dan didn't use any complicated movements or skills; he simply attacked with two short swords, yet his attack speed was so fast it was dazzling.

The demon soldiers were completely unable to resist.

Multiple vital points were hit.

Each attack dealt critical damage, and without a doubt, the situation was easily resolved in a single exchange.

Jiang Xiaxia had just drawn her golden silk bow when she realized she had no chance to offer any assistance.

"That's amazing!"

"I didn't expect Sister Zheng Dan to be so powerful!"

Her moves were as graceful as a swan, so elegant and beautiful, yet the killing efficiency she unleashed was beyond imagination, creating a stark contrast.

The ability system of Heroic Spirits.

It mainly comes from Heroic Spirit Skills and Destiny Soul Weapons.

Zheng Dan's heroic spirit skill is a blue-quality sword technique called "Alluring Sword Dance".

This sword technique can be divided into two parts: movement techniques and swordsmanship.

Movement skills include:

【Phantom Dance】, a white movement skill, can instantly create at least one phantom in place, while the main body enters a state of invisibility and acceleration for at least one second.

Zheng Dan was just attacked.

The reason she suddenly appeared behind the demon soldier was by using the Phantom Dance, a skill that, despite being a white skill, is extremely useful.

As your strength increases, this skill can generate more and more phantoms, and the duration and effect of invisibility and acceleration will also be enhanced.

【Swift Shadow】, a green movement skill, can greatly increase movement speed for a period of time, and also has the ability to quickly maneuver and turn in the air.

Zheng Dan was able to fly quickly to the enemy using this skill, which is like a top-notch light-foot technique and can also increase attack power.

Sword skills include:

【Flying Flower Sword Dance】, white quality. This skill can temporarily increase attack speed and attack power, making even basic attacks more powerful.

【Peerless Sword】, a green skill, is the strongest move in the Peerless Sword Dance. It can instantly produce an attack with extremely high speed and explosive power, and has a strong armor-piercing effect and critical hit damage amplification.

Zheng Dan is an assassin-type hero with strong burst damage. Although she is not good at prolonged battles, she has the ability to deal extremely high damage for a period of time.

Apart from Heroic Spirit Techniques.

The natal soul weapon is also the core ability of a heroic spirit.

Zheng Dan possesses the blue-tier natal soul weapon, the Twin Swords of Ice and Fire, which currently come with two skills.

One of them, called "Frost Domain," can instantly inflict ice damage on all targets within a radius of several meters, while simultaneously freezing or slowing them down.

This is a range control skill.

Another skill, "Flame Blast," can deal massive fire damage upon hitting a target, while also providing a strong armor-piercing effect.

This is a powerful offensive skill.

One skill provides area control, while the other delivers powerful damage, further enhancing assassination capabilities.

that's all.

That is all of Zheng Dan's abilities.

This is an assassin who, although fragile, is highly mobile and has high burst damage!

Xiao Yuxia brought Zheng Dan and Meng Ying with her.

The two chosen ones' journey was practically like a picnic; the two heroic spirits alone were enough to sweep through almost all the monsters in the first area!

"Well done!"

Xiao Yu was very satisfied with Zheng Dan.

"It is my honor to share my master's burdens!"

Although Zheng Dan remained outwardly calm after receiving her master's praise, she was undoubtedly thrilled and secretly delighted inside. She thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being praised and affirmed.

Zheng Dan is considered to have a very high output efficiency among the blue-tier heroes, but she also consumes a lot of energy in high-intensity battles.

Continue this attrition rate.

Their strength was exhausted before they even reached Fuchai.

At this moment, Xia's role came into play. She had leveled up the "Qin's Wedding Dress Curse" to level 3 and was vigorously infusing Zheng Dan's spirit with spiritual power.

Xiao Yu wasn't idle either: "Your combat strength is not bad, but your ability to protect yourself and escape is a little lacking. I happen to have a soul crystal here that is suitable for you."

The essence of the soul has been accumulated enough.

Take out the Ash Soul Crystal.

To bestow upon Zheng Dan.

[Soul Essence - 440!]

You have learned the new skill "Ash Escape Technique" through "Zheng Dan"!

Xiao Yu practiced this skill.

This blue-quality escape technique has a maximum level of 6 and is quite difficult to master. This technique can make the body temporarily invincible, and can be used not only to break through encirclements, but also to get rid of traps and even some array barriers.

no doubt.

This is a life-saving skill!

Zheng Dan's flexibility and mobility were already superior to Sun Wu's, and with the acquisition of such a high-quality escape technique, her overall combat strength undoubtedly rose to a new level.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master!"

Zheng Dan was flattered by this.

She never expected that on her first day of work, her master would endow her with such amazing abilities. Where could she find such a good master?

A scholar will die for one who understands him!

Xiao Yu then led Xia and the heroic spirits to challenge the two corrupted beings on the western front. The two corrupted beings stationed there were Fu Gai and Ji Li.

Although they both have the strength of a level 5 lord.

However, its strength is much weaker than that of the initial bosses.

After Xiao Yu blessed Zheng Dan with the Four Spells of the War Saint, Zheng Dan, at level 4, was able to gain a slight advantage in a one-on-one fight, so he won without expending much effort.

The final challenge was against Fuchai.

Zheng Dan was no match for Fuchai.

However, with the long-range firepower support from Xiao Yu and Xia Xia, they eventually made it through without any major incidents.

The harvest can't compare to the reclamation.

But he also gained 50 world fortunes.

The harvest of various rare materials and equipment fragments was also quite good, with each harvest accumulating to over two thousand essence points.

[Soul Essence - 1500!]

[Your "Swift as the Wind Spell" has reached level 3, permanently granting +10 Health, +10 Spirit, and +5 Agility!]

With the level 3 "Swift as the Wind" spell, "Ash Escape," and Zheng Dan's "Fleeting Shadow," Xiao Yu's ability to run away and escape is absolutely top-notch!

That's one way to put it.

The forbidden area celebration will take place two days later.

Even though Xiao Yu didn't manage to hire Fan Li, a top-tier enforcer, he still had a chance of escaping the threat posed by the Evil Eye Cult followers using these methods!

This is like adding another layer of insurance.

Two days.

fleeting.

Maintaining a daily dungeon run rhythm, even though the equipment and materials dropped during these two runs are far from satisfactory, provides a stable source of spirit energy.

This allows Xiao Yu to have ample resources to continue improving his Heroic Spirits and skills, with the focus of the last two days primarily on enhancing his Heroic Spirits.

[Soul Essence - 1150!]

[Your Heroic Spirit "Zheng Dan, the Stunning Washerwoman" has successfully broken through to level 5!]

First, upgrade Zheng Dan to level 5.

He then infused Sun Tzu with his soul and essence on several separate occasions.

[Soul Essence - 3000!]

[Your heroic spirit "Sun Tzu, the Master of War" has successfully broken through to level 5!]

In this way...

All three heroes are level 5.

The moment Sun Tzu reached level 5.

Xiao Yu felt a completely new power surging forth.

This power is completely different from any ability I have acquired in the past.

at the same time.

I received a notification from Heaven.

You have awakened the "Sage of Military Strategists" talent!

This is the innate talent and destiny bestowed by heroic spirits!

As a top-tier epic-level hero, Sun Tzu possesses an exceptionally strong destiny, resulting in a powerful talent that can be awakened at just level 5!

"The Supreme Sage of Military Strategy" is a top-tier talent that ranks among the best in the entire deep sea. In the long run, its value and role are no less than that of "The Omniscient Sage"!

(PS: The book will be available for purchase tomorrow morning. The notification was very sudden, probably because the sales weren't good, and since it wasn't recommended, I decided to release it early. Although this book has its shortcomings and the sales weren't ideal, it's still worth writing overall, and I really want to continue writing it. Currently, it has almost 4000 favorites, and there are about 600 readers following it. My personal expectation is 350 subscriptions, but as long as it reaches 300 or more, I will continue writing. 300 subscriptions is really not a high expectation, and I hope to get your support!)
