Chapter 223 - 193: The Sixth Five-star Professional Card [Elf Sniper]
Chapter 223: Chapter 193: The Sixth Five-star Professional Card [Elf Sniper]
It was no wonder they were shocked.
Within the Federation Military, the name Zhang Shumo was a towering and unshakable monument. He was a true powerhouse who stood above billions, one of the strategic pillars of the Federation!
More attention was focused on such individuals than on all the planets in an entire Crystal Wall System.
They could treat the scions of Middle-level Divine Families as equals, or even look down on them.
This wasn’t just because those scions were of a younger generation.
It was also because they themselves had a chance of advancing to become Middle-Level Divine Beings in the future.
But a direct descendant of a Powerful Divine Being? That was a completely different story!
Across the entire Blue Star Federation, after three long eras of development, there were only seven Powerful Divine Beings.
At least, that was the official count.
This just went to show how rare Powerful Divine Beings were!
The chances of a direct descendant of a Powerful Divine Being entering this year’s University Alliance Training Camp—and them happening to run into him—were incredibly slim!
That was why the two of them were in utter disbelief!
"Do I look like I’m joking?"
"Logically, I shouldn’t have access to information on someone of Marshal Zhang’s level."
"But it was stated clearly in his file. Do you really think I’d lie to you about something like this?"
Li Qiongtian averted his gaze from the two of them.
"Besides, even if you set aside his background, just based on the power he’s shown so far, what do you two think?"
Hearing this, Lei Lie and Nangong Yue’Er’s expressions grew complex.
After a long moment, Lei Lie finally spoke.
"Even without his background, just based on the power he’s displayed, he’s not just ’not weak’—he’s incredibly strong!"
Lei Lie was being honest.
"In that case, it’s only natural that you’d decide to give your investment slot to him."
After a moment, Lei Lie finally suppressed his shock and returned to his usual self. His eyes filled with envy as he couldn’t help but say:
"You’ve really hit the jackpot!"
"With the power he’s already shown, making it to the end of the University Alliance Training Camp will be no problem at all!"
"And since you got in early and invested in him, once he reaches the final assessment, the resources you’ll get back will be enough to last you for at least a century!"
Beside them, Nangong Yue’Er, who held Li Qiongtian in high regard, also gazed at him with envy.
These instructors were allotted a certain number of investment slots based on their own strength.
A minimum of one, a maximum of three.
When they made an investment before the end of the provincial trials,
if the student they invested in was able to advance to the subsequent assessments,
the more assessments the student passed, the greater the resource returns for the instructors.
This was precisely how the University Alliance Training Camp attracted a large number of Weak Divine Beings to serve as instructors for each new class of recruits.
Otherwise, if they had to spend their time training these students for nothing, relying on duty rather than profit, very few would be willing to stick with it.
In contrast, this investment model
not only tested their ability to mentor students but also allowed them to earn a hefty amount of resources.
It was a very novel approach.
"You two have that much confidence in me?"
"I don’t even know if this student is willing to accept my investment!"
Those were Li Qiongtian’s final words on the matter.
...
The perspective shifted back to Zhang Yi, who was in the middle of selecting Divine Domain Cards.
At this point, Zhang Yi had an abundance of Five-star Professional Cards in his Divine Realm.
He had not only arranged for cavalry Professions for his Elf Corps,
but had also set up the corresponding Rune Blacksmith Profession for the Dwarf Clan’s traditional Blacksmiths.
As for the composition of his Elf Corps,
only the ordinary Elf Warriors and Elf Archers still lacked their corresponding advanced Professions.
As for the Elf Mages,
Mage was already their Profession.
As they mastered more and more Magic, they would naturally advance to become more powerful Mages.
Thus, having organized his thoughts,
Zhang Yi focused his search in the University Alliance Training Camp’s Divine Domain Card exchange area, picking out Professional Cards related to Elf Warriors and Elf Archers.
The Divine Domain Card exchange list was a dazzling and diverse catalog.
It ranged from common ones like [Elf Swordsman] and [Elf Ranger];
to the rarer [Forest Guard] and [Wind Chaser];
and even some advanced Professions with special regional or bloodline prefixes.
After scanning through the countless Professional Cards for a long time, Zhang Yi’s eyes finally locked onto one Divine Domain Card.
A Five-star Rare Quality Professional Card: [Elf Sniper].
Exchange Points: 850
Introduction: One of the advanced Professions for an Elf Archer. Rather than pursuing speed, the Elf Sniper focuses on perfect accuracy, making it undoubtedly one of the best advancement paths for an Elf Archer.
Skill 1: Eye of Locking. Through extensive training, the Elf Sniper’s eyes undergo a special transformation. When an Elf Sniper locks onto and focuses on a single enemy, their pupils automatically adjust, making the entire field of vision around the target crystal clear!
Skill 2: Hundred Shots, Hundred Hits. Through extensive training, the Bow and Arrow have become one with you. Anywhere an Arrow can reach, you can hit!
Skill 3: Hundred-step Piercing Willow. An Elf Sniper who masters this special skill can infuse their Power into an Arrow. This not only imbues the Arrow with special properties but also maximally preserves its stability after being fired, granting it unimaginable penetration. The Arrow becomes almost immune to environmental factors (e.g., strong winds, heavy rain, Energy interference... all effects are reduced to a minimum!).
Skill 4: Deadly Hunt. When the Elf Sniper is concealed (e.g., in a forest, shadows, a crowd...), the Arrow’s stealth is increased by 30%, its power is increased by 30%, and its hit rate is increased by an additional 10%!
Evaluation: Do not underestimate this Divine Domain Card. This is the most crucial step in an Elf Archer’s advancement!
Zhang Yi’s gaze lingered on this Divine Domain Card for a long time.
Compared to the other Professional Cards he had encountered before, this Five-star card
didn’t have a lot of flashy Skills,
but it satisfied all the essential traits an Elf Archer required: shooting far and shooting accurately!
The ability to stay hidden,
the ability to shoot from a distance,
and the ability to increase the power of the Arrow—
this was exactly the kind of Divine Domain Card Zhang Yi wanted!
Moreover, for Zhang Yi, this Divine Domain Card he had set his sights on,
might not have sounded as flashy as other Elf Professional Cards like the Star Dome Archer or the Star-Piercing Sniper due to its name,
but it was not only cheap, it was also extremely practical. It was his ideal Divine Domain Card!
Even though he had more than enough Points and monthly Wealth Faith Value to afford something more expensive,
it didn’t change his preference for things that were cheap and practical.
After making up his mind,
Zhang Yi spent 850 Points and redeemed the Five-star Professional Card, [Elf Sniper].
Now, Zhang Yi wasn’t lacking anything!
He was just waiting for the Five-star Professional Card he had pre-ordered with his Wealth Faith Value to be delivered to the University Alliance Training Camp tonight,
and placed in his hands.
Then, Zhang Yi could synthesize all the Professional Cards in his possession!
Zhang Yi had a feeling that the many Five-star Professional Cards he had spent so long accumulating
would, just like the numerous Skill Cards he had gathered before,
ultimately combine to create a Five-star Special Quality Divine Domain Card!
Back then, when he had synthesized nearly ten Skill Cards, the resulting card was a Five-star Special Quality Divine Domain Card.
This wasn’t because its upper limit was Five-Stars,
but because its *lower* limit was Five-Stars.
The "Special Quality" designation was because its true value couldn’t be defined at the time,
so it was simply labeled as such!
It was fair to say that
the rapid increase in strength of the Elf Corps in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm,
and the swift improvement in the skills of his Logistics team—the Elf Craftsmen and Dwarf Blacksmiths—
was all thanks to the help of the [Skill Tree]!
It could clearly display how well the Clan in his Divine Realm had mastered their Skills, as well as what conditions were needed for further improvement.
For any member of the Clan seeking to improve, this was the most direct reward for their hard work!
DING!
[Student Zhang Yi has initiated the purchase of one Five-star Professional Card: Elf Sniper. Please confirm.]
[Confirm!]
Zhang Yi nodded firmly.
