Chapter 571 - Taboo

Both the Tier 3 Illusionist and the Tier 4 Black Wizard were NPCs at the very top of White River City .

With both of these great characters going out of their way to come here, one could see just how much importance the Adventurer’s Association was placing on Anna .

“Who’s the one who achieved an SSS-rank?” the Black Wizard Glynne asked .

“Association Master, Miss Anna has earned that rank,” the test officer hurriedly said .

Glynne’s glowing green eyes immediately began to size up Anna, who stood behind Shi Feng . Although Glynne’s actions held no ill intent, Shi Feng could still feel an immense pressure from his gaze, his movements growing sluggish as a result .

If Shi Feng, a Tier 1 player, reacted in such a way, the pressure that an NPC, who had yet to become an Adventurer, felt would be even greater .

Yet, Anna showed no reaction as if she had not felt the pressure from Glynne at all .

“Sure enough, your concentration is extraordinary,” the Black Wizard Glynne laughed, satisfied . “We haven’t had a talent in White River City for many years now . I didn’t think that the next one would be so extraordinary . Irene, I’ll leave this little lady in your care . You are the strongest Summoner in our White River City’s Adventurer’s Association . If you fail to guide her properly, I will find you . ”

“Association Master, please rest assured . I will nurture Anna with every resource I have,” the Tier 3 Illusionist Irene said, chuckling .

“Alright, show this little lady around the association and familiarize her with the place for now . ” Glynne nodded as he caressed his white beard . He then looked at Shi Feng, saying, “You must be the brat who recommended the little lady, right?”

Shi Feng nodded silently .

The high-tiered NPCs of God’s Domain all possessed extremely high intelligence . As for Glynne, the Association Master of an Adventurer’s Association, he possessed intelligence that far surpassed even ordinary humans . Moreover, he also wielded immense authority in White River City . A single word for him could end Shi Feng’s career here .

Hence, before such an NPC, Shi Feng had to maintain a certain degree of humility .

If he dared to act conceited in front of an NPC like Glynne, he would suffer for it . In the past, only after countless players had gone down that route had they understood the importance of propriety .

“Since you have introduced such a genius to White River City, as the Association Master of White River City’s Adventurer’s Association, I will not be stingy with you . Since you are a Tier 1 Swordsman, this item should suit you . If you can master it, you will face fewer hardships on the road ahead,” Glynne said as he took out a gray book surrounded by an ancient aura .

The word “Taboo” graced the bottom-right corner of this old, gray book .

“Taboo Skill!” Shi Feng was stunned .

There were many Skills in God’s Domain . However, a majority of them were ordinary Skills; their might was only subpar, and they could not increase a player’s combat power significantly . Only those rare Skills could impact a player’s combat power .

For example, the Skills Shi Feng had learned such as Thundering Flash and Thunder Flame Explosion were rare Skills . These Skills allowed a player to fight an enemy that was slightly stronger than they were .

Meanwhile, sure-kill Skills were stronger than rare Skills . These Skills had the ability to instant-kill players of the same Level, changing the tide of battle . One such Skill was Shi Feng’s Flame Burst .

However, there was an even more powerful type of Skill that could allow players to threaten enemies that were stronger than themselves .

This type of Skill was known as a Taboo Skill .

The gray book Glynne had just revealed was a Skill Book for a Taboo Skill . A Taboo Skill even allowed players to challenge enemies of a higher tier .

The instant Shi Feng received the gray book, he inspected it .

[Instant Strike] (Tier 2 Taboo Skill)

Utilizing the power of thunder, instantly move in front of the target . For the next 3 seconds, Attack Speed increased by 500%, and each attack will deal 400% damage to the target and inflict the Serious Numbness effect . Instantly kill targets below 20% HP .

Cooldown: 1 hour

Class Restriction: Swordsman

Isn’t he a little too generous? He actually gave me a Tier 2 Taboo Skill . Shi Feng was slightly surprised after reading the item description .

Taboo Skills were different from other Skills . They did not require Proficiency to upgrade, and players of any Level could learn them . Only, one needed to fulfill certain conditions before they could learn them . Taboo Skills were also categorized into different Tiers .

Tier 1 Taboo Skills were the most common, and only players who were Tier 1 or higher could display their maximum potential . The effects of a Tier 1 Taboo Skill could rival even an ordinary Tier 2 Skill .

Tier 2 Taboo Skills were slightly rarer, and only when players obtained their Tier 2 classes could they fully display the Skill’s might . Their effects could rival a Tier 3 Skill .

Tier 3 Taboo Skills were extremely rare, and only a few players would actually get the chance to learn such a Skill . However, any Tier 3 players who learned such a Skill would struggle to find a worthy opponent among players of the same Tier because a Tier 3 Taboo Skill was just as strong as a Tier 4 Skill . Even a Tier 4 player would lose over half of their HP, not to mention Tier 3 players .

As for Tier 4 Taboo Skills, their rarity could rival even Legendary items .

Tier 5 Taboo Skills were little more than legend . If a Tier 5 player grasped such a Skill, they could even pose some threat to a Tier 6 God-ranked player . Hence, one could just imagine the rarity of a Tier 5 Taboo Skill .

Based on Shi Feng’s knowledge, there had only been a single person who had learned a Tier 5 Taboo Skill throughout the entire God’s Domain in the past . Back then, that person had become the most powerful player below Tier 6 God-ranked players as there was no Tier 5 player capable of defending against that person’s Tier 5 Taboo Skill . In addition, that person’s skills and equipment were top notch in God’s Domain . Hence, he had been publicly acknowledged as the number one player beneath Tier 6 .

Currently, players’ average Level was only slightly over Level 20 . The majority of players in God’s Domain had not even obtained their Tier 1 classes yet .

Meanwhile, Shi Feng had obtained a Tier 2 Taboo Skill .

Even if he did not possess any Level or equipment advantages, with this Tier 2 Taboo Skill, it was still possible for him to instant-kill any enemies that were Tier 2 or below . Even if he couldn’t kill them instantly, he could still inflict heavy damage . If he factored in his Level and equipment advantages, as long as he managed to grasp this Taboo Skill, he would stand at the very peak of all Tier 2 classes . It was the same even if he stood against an NPC .

Of course, God’s Domain was fair . If one wished to obtain great power, they first needed to pay the appropriate price .

Although Taboo Skills could increase a player’s strength, the learning processes of Taboo Skills and ordinary Skills were different . Taboo Skills could not be learned by the click of a button .

One needed to train with a Taboo Skill .

That’s right; they needed to train .

Players were required to learn the movements recorded in the Skill Book, and at the same time, fulfill the book’s learning requirements . Most importantly, one needed to achieve a Completion Rate of 90% or above to learn the Taboo Skill .

Moreover, the higher a Taboo Skill’s Tier was, the more difficult it would be to learn it . Some Taboo Skills were so difficult that even expert players could not learn them .

Hence, many players who had obtained Taboo Skills had complained about this in the past . However, there were even more players who gloated over their misfortune .

So what if you were lucky?

Even if you obtained a Tier 6 Taboo Skill, what would it matter if you couldn’t learn it?

Due to this, Taboo Skills had become many players’ heartache . In the past, many players had no choice but to trade with others for a lower tiered Taboo Skill after obtaining a high-tiered Taboo Skill . After all, there was no point to owning a high-tiered Taboo Skill if one could not learn it .

Fortunately, it is only a Tier 2 Taboo Skill . If it were a Tier 3 Taboo Skill, I would have no choice but to treat this thing as a decoration . Shi Feng was very satisfied with the Taboo Skill Instant Strike . As long as I learn this, I will have a much easier time when I go to the Dark Den .

In the past, the most powerful Taboo Skill Shi Feng had learned was a Tier 3 Taboo Skill . However, the price and time required for learning one were simply too high . The conditions were not something players at his current Level could meet .

However, even a Tier 2 Taboo Skill was extremely difficult for current players to learn .

Other than the fact that only Tier 2 classes or above were capable of displaying the full potential of a Tier 2 Taboo Skill, Tier 2 Taboo Skills were labeled as Tier 2 because Tier 2 or higher players had a much easier time learning them .

In the past, many Tier 3 players had only managed to learn a Tier 2 Taboo Skill after a lot of struggle . One could just imagine how difficult it was to grasp a Taboo Skill .

Soon, Shi Feng left the Adventurer’s Association .

Currently, Anna was still a classless NPC . She would have to spend the next week building her foundations to become an Adventurer . Naturally, Shi Feng would not wait inside the Adventurer’s Association for an entire week .

First and foremost, he needed to learn the Taboo Skill Instant Strike .

After Shi Feng returned to the Candlelight Trading Firm, without hesitation, he entered a private lounge and began studying the Skill Book .
