Chapter 1587: The Odd Assassin
"That’s an interesting and apt name," Wang Wei nodded. The so-called Skill Source was the origin of the assassin’s weirdness. Her mind, body, soul, and even very [Existence] are permanently linked to this dimension with numerous abilities, spells, skills, and techniques. By using her versatile Dao, the assassin can use any of these skills as if she had cultivated the Dao they were based on.
It’s no wonder the Black Assassin Order was so famous. As long as their members cultivate a versatile Dao — such as rune, talisman, martial art — they can skip the process of creating and perfecting their skills. In fact, they don’t even have to be geniuses. The skills are already brilliant, and the assassin only needs to choose one, much like adding a SIM card to a phone.
Wang Wei was certain that the order encouraged talented members to create and innovate for the Skill Source. However, for ordinary members, they only needed to choose a Dao that fit the order’s demands, and their future would be predetermined.
’There is also the fact that as long as an assassin becomes a D-Class Primal, he can immediately access Ultimate Skills and jump to C-Class. If an assassin has a decent amount of talent and time, it’s possible to master the utilization of Grand Construct and jump to B-Class,’ Wang Wei analyzed.
He suddenly felt this assassin was both lucky and not as impressive as before. Well, to be fair, she has shown talent in mastering the power from the River of Time, meaning she has the opportunity to become an A-Class Primal.
However, the Black Assassin Order is what Wang Wei truly cares about. In the old era, their development might have been strangled by Heavenly Dao, preventing them from having too many Primals. But in the upcoming Transcendent Age, there will be no such limitations. In other words, their abilities to cultivate C-Class Primals will make them formidable.
Wang Wei was, of course, greedy for such a thing. The sect would benefit immensely from this Skill Source. Of course, he would not encourage his people to use others’ Ultimate Skills. Instead, he would allow members of the sect to experience what it’s like to use Ultimate Skills, ensuring they can create their own at the fastest speed. And in times of war and emergency, they could directly use the Skill Source.
Unfortunately, he’ll need to wait a while and plan ahead to have the slight chance at getting his hands on such a thing.
"You know, you’re lucky," Blue Ember suddenly said.
"How so?"
"In the old days, the order would hunt anyone who knew of the source’s existence. We would not stop until the target is dead — even if they run to the end of the world."
"You’re talking about the Eternal Order?" Wang Wei asked. He read about this from the sect and Wu Hong’s library. Once the Black Assassin Order released the Eternal Order, all their assassin would abandon whatever mission they were on and focus on killing the target. The order will even offer handsome rewards for any information about their target, but they do not accept anyone who kills the target themselves.
"That’s right," Blue Ember nodded.
"Well, now that one of your leaders is a Primordial Saint, it makes sense they no longer need to worry about revealing such a secret," Wang Wei nodded. He originally planned to seal the assassin’s connection to this Skill Source. Unfortunately, the entire thing was controlled by a Primordial Saint.
"Yes. Now that Sir Black Assassin Saint has reached the top of the Chaos Universe, our order will soon take its position as the number one assassin organisation. We will bring order to the universe by using shadowy means," Blue Ember said with immense fervor in her voice.
Wang Wei looked at her, his mouth agape. His shock was for two reasons. First, this assassin seemed too chatty, revealing so much information without hesitation or thought. Secondly, he never knew the Black Assassin Order had such grand ambitions.
"You’re not a very sociable person, are you?" Wang Wei asked.
"Why do you say that?"
"It’s obvious you’re not used to speaking to people, or you would not have revealed so much information in a less than five-minute conversation," Wang Wei said.
"Hmm, I did skip the intel gathering training. And the other assassins did say I’m straightforward and do not understand the beauty of assassination art. However, I just think they are not strong enough," Blue Ember said.
She always used the most straightforward way for her mission. She used numerous skills to infiltrate the enemy’s stronghold before killing them with one strike. Blue Ember disdains these methods of spending years infiltrating an area, impersonating others, secretly poisoning, and doing all these things to find an opportunity to kill these targets.
Once she has one of those missions, she will immediately challenge the target directly and use brute force to kill them. And if that’s not possible, she will forfeit these missions. In fact, she never picked them and was only assigned these types of missions on a few occasions. Luckily, the Mission Master loves her and takes care of her needs. And after acquiring the [Assassin King] title, she can choose her own mission.
Wang Wei’s lips twitched. Why was this woman still talking?
"Don’t worry," Blue Ember reassured. "I’m telling you all this information because I know I can kill you." Although her original mission was to deal with a Primal Puppet, it made no difference now that the target had changed. Well, it did make a difference since she would charge Ying Zheng extra for providing incorrect information according to the order’s rules.
"You’re quite confident, aren’t you?"
"I am," Blue Ember replied. "Our order has records of unique individuals like yourself. However, all your talent, strength, and destiny will mean nothing because I walk with purpose. With the blessing of the Black Assassin Order, I shall be victorious in every battle."
’She sounds like a follower of a God instead of an assassin,’ Wang Wei thought. ’Well, it makes sense she was brainwashed, given the situation of the Skill Source.’ Wang Wei did not see much of the source out of fear of alerting the Primordial Chaos Saint, but based on what he saw, he could deduce some formation.
For example, the assassins need to leave their soul imprint during the Mortal Realm. And after becoming Great Emperors, they must leave their Dao Imprint. After gaining access to these things, it would be very easy for the Black Assassin Saint to control or subtly influence these assassins to worship him and his mission.
Such information is another reason why Wang Wei lusted after this Skill Source. If he could gain full control, he would have access to a group of elite assassins that he could incorporate into his Fate Shadow Guard. If he adds the work that Wang Ju is currently doing, in other words, the future of his shadow organization is bright.
’This poor fool,’ Wang Wei sighed. People not in the Quintessence Realm may not, but others do. Based on what this assassin said, the Black Assassin Saint only sanctified after the ultimate taboo, meaning he used a flawed method. With such a terrible foundation, how dare this bastard make such bold claims as changing the Chaos Universe?
’Unless he’s found a way to improve his foundation, he’s just being arrogant,’ Wang We internally shook his head. ’Wait, maybe he did. The Skill Source sounds like the perfect creation for a Minor Construct. If used correctly, he may have created a flawed Dao Quintessence?’
Wang Wei squinted. Even if the Black Assassin Saint hasn’t done so, he’ll definitely put two and two together once he interferes in the affairs of the Eternal Ascension World and learns about the lower dimension.
"What’s with that expression?" Blue Ember asked.
’Should I tell her how weak the person she worships is?’ Wang Wei contemplated. It could be an effective tactic to break her mentally by breaking her faith and spirit.
’No,’ Wang Wei crossed out his idea. ’Words alone are not enough to waver some of such deep devotion. Additionally, I would have to reveal information about the pillar foundation, which is not worth it. Anyway, everything is already ready to end this fight.’
"What’s your name?" Wang Wei suddenly asked.
"Haha," Blue Ember chuckled. "I am not that naive. I still remember the training about Karma Masters and not revealing my name or title."
"Come on?" Wang Wei smiled. "I’m sure your faith in the Black Assassin Saint is enough to protect —"
Wang Wei did not finish his words when Blue Ember suddenly attacked. However, Wang Wei seemed to be waiting for his move and also attacked. At this high level of combat, no one would suddenly stop to converse — unless they were overconfident or were planning something.
Such tactics are something most Heaven Chosen — no matter which Chaos Source World they are from — learned during their Mortal Stages of Cultivation.
