Chapter 001: A Clichéd Beginning

  Tian Xiu finished telling the origin of the Shura profession, took a deep breath, and suddenly said seriously: "I, Tian Xiu, the 22nd generation Shura successor, solemnly ask you, are you willing to inherit the power of Shura, spread the prestige of Shura, and shake the name of Shura?"

  "I'm willing!" Feng Xiao secretly curled his lips in disdain at Tian Xiu's unconvincing words, while simultaneously starting to look forward to it.

  "Good!" Tian Xiu's excited face turned bright red: "I, Tian Xiu, in the name of Xiuluo, will formally pass on the power of Xiuluo to the 23rd generation successor Fenghun."

  Tian Xiu's entire body suddenly burst forth with a layer of dark red light, and as his thoughts guided it, the red glow gradually converged onto his fingertips, forming a deep, dark-colored ball of light.

  Cruelty, slaughter, resentment, countless negative energies emanated from the light sphere, Tian Xiu remained unmoved, muttering to himself, suddenly his index finger swiftly extended forward, and with a speed that left no time for concealment, he tapped the light sphere onto Feng Xiao's forehead.

  Feng Xiao felt a sudden explosion in his mind, as if he was slowly losing consciousness, his vision gradually becoming blurry... When his vision cleared again, his heart trembled, and his body began to shake uncontrollably - because he saw an ocean of blood... and slaughter, endless slaughter.

  A man holding a giant sword, with eyes as red as blood, like a killing god from hell, continuously reaping the lives around him. The enemies fell one by one, and the fresh blood stained the giant sword and his clothes, but he seemed to be unaware of it, continuing his pace of reaping lives without changing his expression!

  Lochia!

  It is impossible to calculate how many people he killed, it is impossible to calculate how much time he spent killing. The earth turned into an ocean of blood, the sky was stained with the color of blood, and all that remained in the air was a pungent smell of blood... The only thing that did not change was his calm eyes. Until there were no more signs of life around him, he stood holding a giant sword, like a blood-soaked person, amidst a hellish pile of severed limbs... Not knowing where to go or what to do next, not knowing who to kill next...

  Is this the Asura...? Fūjin's heart trembled, and he who often called himself Asura was nothing but a joke compared to the real Asura.

  "Ding, congratulations to player Fengyun for advancing to the unique hidden profession of Shura. Reputation +50. Life +200, Magic +200, Attack +100. The four major basic attributes +20, seven-system resistance +10 (%). Luck +3."

  "Ding, congratulations player Fenghun, you are the world's first person to change jobs. System reward: prestige +200, gold coins +1000."

  The system's alert tone shocked him awake, and he looked at Tian Xiu in a daze. Tian Xiu, with a pale face, nodded to him and made an expression of understanding. The first thing each Shura must do before changing jobs is to have a basic understanding of what it means to be a Shura.

  Tian Xiu's face was pale, his body slowly weakening to the point of collapse. Feng Xiao Xin was moved, and quickly went to support him; "This old man has truly given himself completely, using all his life's strength to change his fate..."

  "Ugh, I'm exhausted... after transferring jobs for someone, I won't be able to use Shura's power for 3 minutes."

  Feng Xiao's hand went soft, and Tian Xiu fell to the ground with a "thud". "I thought this old guy had exhausted all his internal energy, what a waste of emotions..."

  "Hey, you little scamp! Don't you know to respect your elders and care for the young?! Can this old body of mine withstand such a shock?!" Tian Xiu scolded as he stood up, dusting off his clothes. With a calm expression, he continued: "Forget it, I won't bother with you anymore. Ah, after waiting for a thousand years, I can finally fulfill my dream of traveling across the entire Tian Long continent! Not a moment to spare, I'm leaving now... Kid, take this!"

  Tian Xiu handed a scroll and a conch shell to Feng Xiao: "This map was drawn by the previous Shu Luo when he traveled across the Tian Long continent, I dare say it's the most comprehensive map currently available, it should be very helpful for your adventure. This conch shell can communicate with me when you need it, but remember not to call me unless it's a big deal, otherwise I'll get annoyed and take it back!" Patting Feng Xiao on the shoulder, Tian Xiu continued seriously: "Shu Luo is a lifetime warrior, persistent, proud, doing everything as he pleases, not bound by any worldly etiquette or rules, but absolutely cannot bully others with his power, nor can he be bullied by others, otherwise it would be in vain to be Shu Luo!"

  "Also, the six-pronged scroll you used earlier was exchanged for the life of the 21st generation Shura. I don't want you to tarnish it, so no matter how difficult it is, I hope all the professions you transfer to are hidden professions!"

  "I understand, Master Tian Xiu!" Feng Xiao nodded seriously, his tone also becoming more respectful.

  Tian Xiu burst out laughing loudly; "You've got some conscience, kid! Haha... I'm off!"

  Tian Xiu said and left immediately, very decisive, without even saying goodbye to the five old men.

  ……

  "Ah!" Feng Xiao slapped his forehead and suddenly shouted loudly: "Wait, Tian Xiu Shifu! Come back for me!"

  "What's wrong, Fenghun kid? Can't bear to part with old man? Haha... We'll have the chance to meet again in the future." A voice came from afar, it was Tianxiu.

  "Shura no Illusion! My Shura no Illusion!!"

  A black mask flew fiercely towards the wind, accompanied by a curse: "You heartless little brat, you only know how to covet the divine artifact on my body! I was excited for nothing. Dammit!"

  Feng Xiao hastily took over Shura's Illusion, and a purple glow unique to divine artifacts emanated from it. Feng Xiao almost excitedly shouted out loud: "Divine artifact! It really is a divine artifact!" He quickly checked the properties of Shura's Illusion:

  The first attribute of Xiūluò Huàn almost made Fēng Xiāo faint:

  Life + 100%!

  With this attribute, I'll be even more powerful than a Blood Bull Shield Warrior of the same level! I can take on BOSSes with just my bare fists!

  Ashura Illusion: Divine Equipment, Usage Requirements: Ashura Profession. Originally the sacred mask of Rajah, the Good and Evil Illusion Mask, it later evolved into the divine equipment Ashura's Illusion Mask after being baptized in the blood of thousands and the aura of slaughter.

  Effect: HP +100%, MP +100%, increases all 4 basic attributes by level x3, movement speed +10. Instant death rate +3%. Resistance to abnormal states +30%, resistance to death +30%, luck -3. Deals 50% more damage to human enemies.

  Skill: Soul Absorption

  Passive skill, automatically absorbs the souls of killed enemies and seals them in Shura's Illusion, absorption limit: 50.

  Myōon: Summon and command the vengeful spirits absorbed by Shura to attack, can concentrate attacks or disperse attacks. Each spirit's attack power is twice that of the user. Can summon up to level / 5 spirits at a time, maximum number of spirits: 35/50.

  Asura Hell King Wave: Active skill, releases a hellish wave that attacks surrounding enemies, causing at least one of the following negative statuses to enemies within a certain range: poison, blindness, fear, weakness, curse, confusion, dizziness, paralysis, freeze, sleep, or petrification. The duration is dependent on the enemy's abilities. Consumes 300 magic points. Attack range = player level / 2. Can be used twice per day.

  The wind was so strong that it pinched itself to confirm whether it was dreaming or not. This attribute... is too powerful, right?

  "Artifact! What is an artifact? This is what an artifact is! With just one artifact in hand, you can dominate the cycle of reincarnation. Who said this? It's simply TM the truth!"

  "But what is this Death attribute?" In the seven resistances in the attribute column, there was no Death attribute, and among the several major professions of mages, there was also no Death attribute.

  And that Lucky-3 was directly ignored by Feng Xue, in the face of so many powerful attributes, this loss can be negligible.

  Feng Xiao's luck exceeds 10, and this abnormal natural state would not understand the impact of this attribute if placed on another player. For those ordinary players with a minimum luck of 1 and a maximum luck of 5, Luck -3 may mean that luck becomes 0 or even negative. Zero luck means that equipment will no longer drop when killing monsters, and hidden tasks can no longer be received. Negative luck is bad luck! When luck turns into bad luck, the probability of being critically hit, falling into traps, receiving trap tasks, drinking medicine to death, and being PKed by others for no reason will all increase significantly.
