Chapter 13 Regardless

Whether it was a Tier 3 Illusion Spirit Master or a Tier 4 Dark Magic Mentor, both were NPCs standing at the apex of White River City.

Now, these two big shots had come personally.

It was evident how much the Adventurer's Association valued Anna.

"Which one received the SSS rank evaluation?" the Dark Magic Mentor Green asked.

"President, it's this Miss Anna," the examiner quickly replied.

The Dark Magic Mentor Green's eyes, gleaming with emerald green flames, immediately sized up Anna standing behind Shi Feng. Although the Dark Magic Mentor Green didn't harbor any malice, Shi Feng could still feel an immense pressure, making his entire body feel heavy and difficult to move.

Shi Feng, a Tier 1 player, was already feeling like this, so the pressure on the NPC who hadn't become an adventurer yet was even greater.

However, Anna's expression remained as usual, as if she didn't feel anything.

"As expected, her mental strength is extraordinary," the Dark Magic Mentor Green smiled with satisfaction. "White River City hasn't produced a talent in many years. I didn't expect such an amazing genius to appear. Irene, I'm entrusting this little girl to you. You are the strongest summoner in our White River City Association. If you don't teach her well, I will hold you accountable."

"President, rest assured, I will wholeheartedly nurture Anna," the Tier 3 Illusion Spirit Master Irene said with a smile.

"Alright, take the little girl to familiarize herself with the association first," the Dark Magic Mentor Green stroked his white beard and nodded. He then looked at Shi Feng and said, "You are the young man who recommended the little girl, right?"

Shi Feng nodded silently.

The high-level NPCs in God's Domain possessed extremely high intelligence. The president of the Adventurer's Association, Green, possessed intelligence far surpassing ordinary humans, and he also wielded immense power in White River City. A single word from him could make it impossible for Shi Feng to stay in White River City.

Therefore, in front of such NPCs, one had to maintain sufficient humility.

If you dared to act arrogant in front of such NPCs, the ultimate result would definitely be tragic. In the previous life, countless players had died miserably on this path before learning how to behave.

"You were able to bring such a genius to our White River City. As the president of the White River City Adventurer's Association, I naturally won't be stingy. Since you are a Tier 1 Swordsman, then I'll give you this. If you can learn it, you will have fewer difficulties on your future path." As the Dark Magic Mentor spoke, he took out a gray book filled with an ancient aura.

On the bottom right corner of the gray book's cover was written the word "Forbidden."

"Forbidden Skill!" Shi Feng was stunned when he saw the cover.

There were many skills in God's Domain, but most of them were ordinary skills, with average power, and couldn't increase a player's combat power much. Only those rare skills could greatly increase a player's combat power.

Like the Wind Lightning Flash and Flame Lightning Blast that Shi Feng had learned before, these were rare skills that allowed players to deal with enemies stronger than themselves.

Above rare skills were ultimate skills, which could instantly kill enemies of the same level and reverse the situation, such as Flame Burst.

However, above these skills were even more powerful skills that could allow players to threaten enemies far stronger than themselves.

Such skills were called forbidden skills (jinji).

The gray book in front of him was a forbidden skill, a skill that allowed players to challenge opponents beyond their level.

After Shi Feng took it, he immediately checked it out.

Instant Flash (Shun Kai), Tier 2 Forbidden Skill: Use the power of thunder to infuse your body, instantly move to the target's front, while increasing attack speed by 500%. Each attack deals 400% damage to the target and inflicts a severe paralysis effect. Instantly kills targets with less than 20% health. Duration: 3 seconds. Cooldown: one hour. Class restriction: Swordsman.

"This is too generous, he's actually giving a Tier 2 forbidden skill." Shi Feng was slightly shocked after reading all the descriptions.

Forbidden skills were different from other skills. They didn't need proficiency to level up and could be learned at any level, as long as the learning requirements were met. However, forbidden skills were also divided into tiers.

Tier 1 forbidden skills were the most common. Tier 1 players could unleash their maximum power, with effects comparable to Tier 2 skills.

Tier 2 forbidden skills were relatively rare. Only when players reached Tier 2 classes could they unleash their maximum power, with effects comparable to Tier 3 skills.

Tier 3 forbidden skills were very rare. Only a few players could learn them, but those who did were almost invincible among Tier 3 classes, because Tier 3 forbidden skills could unleash the effects of Tier 4 skills. Anyone hit by them, even Tier 4 classes, would lose half their life, let alone Tier 3 classes.

As for Tier 4 forbidden skills, their rarity was comparable to legendary items.

Tier 5 forbidden skills were legendary. If a Tier 5 player mastered one, they could pose a certain threat to Tier 6 god-level players, so their rarity was conceivable.

As far as Shi Feng knew, only one person in the entire God's Domain had learned a Tier 5 forbidden skill, becoming the number one person below Tier 6 god-level players, because no Tier 5 player could withstand that Tier 5 forbidden skill. In addition to his skills and equipment being top-notch in God's Domain, he was recognized as the number one person below Tier 6.

Currently, players were only in their twenties, and most of them hadn't even changed to Tier 1 classes.

Now that Shi Feng had obtained a Tier 2 forbidden skill, how could he not be happy?

Even if he didn't have level and equipment advantages, having this Tier 2 forbidden skill meant that enemies within Tier 2 had the possibility of being instantly killed. Even if they couldn't be instantly killed, they could be severely injured. Not to mention his level and equipment advantages, as long as he mastered this forbidden skill, it meant that he had already stood at the peak of Tier 2 classes, even when facing NPCs.

Of course, God's Domain was fair. If you wanted to obtain powerful strength, you had to pay the corresponding price.

Although forbidden skills could greatly increase a player's strength, learning forbidden skills was also different from ordinary skills. It wasn't as simple as clicking to learn and immediately being able to use them.

Learning forbidden skills required training.

That's right, training.

You had to learn the movements required in the book, while also meeting the learning requirements in the book. In addition, the most important point was that the completion rate had to reach over 90% before there was a chance to learn the forbidden skill.

Moreover, the higher the tier of the forbidden skill, the greater the learning difficulty. Even expert players might not be able to master it and could only watch it helplessly.

This caused many players who obtained forbidden skills to complain, but more people gloated.

Aren't you lucky?

Even if you get a Tier 6 forbidden skill, can you learn it?

Because of this, forbidden skills became a pain in the hearts of many players. After obtaining high-tier forbidden skills, many players could only reluctantly exchange them for some low-tier forbidden skills. After all, what you learn is your own. Getting something you can't learn is the same as not having it.

"Fortunately, it's only a Tier 2 forbidden skill. If it were a Tier 3 forbidden skill, I could only use this thing as a decoration." Shi Feng was very satisfied with the forbidden skill Instant Flash. "As long as I learn this, I'll have a greater chance of success in the Dark Cave."

In his previous life, the most powerful forbidden skill Shi Feng had learned was a Tier 3 forbidden skill, but mastering a Tier 3 forbidden skill required an extremely high amount of time and effort, which current-level players couldn't afford.

But even a Tier 2 forbidden skill was a great help to current players.

The reason why Tier 2 forbidden skills were called Tier 2, besides the fact that Tier 2 classes could maximize their power, also meant that the possibility of learning them was relatively high.

In his previous life, many players, even Tier 3 classes, had only managed to learn a Tier 2 forbidden skill with great difficulty, which showed that forbidden skills were not so easy to master.

Afterwards, Shi Feng left the Adventurer's Association.

Anna was currently an NPC without a class. It would take a week to master the basics to become an adventurer, so Shi Feng naturally wouldn't wait there for a week.

The most important thing to do now was to learn the forbidden skill Instant Flash.

Shi Feng returned to the Candlelight Trading Firm, found a rest room without saying a word, opened the Instant Flash skill book, sat down, and began to study it carefully.

"I wonder what the learning conditions are? I hope they aren't too harsh."
