[Breaking Boundary Mission: Light of Life]

[Mission Description: As a priest, your duty is to save lives and spread light. You are the spokesperson of the holy light (God) in this world, a monk who soothes the public, and the light in people’s hearts.]

[Mission Requirements: You need to rely on your skills and abilities to save lives (at least 10 people). During the treatment, you can choose the God you believe in. After completing the mission, you can become a full-fledged Professionist and earn professional skills. (The professional skills varies depending on the deity you choose to worship)].

“It really is the Light of Life.”

Zhao Yunxiao nodded, “Nearly every priest’s first boundary-breaking mission is the Light of Life. This mission you to rescue and heal, helping you to understand the essence of the priest’s duty…”

Zheng Cheng curiously asked, “We need to choose a god to worship? What’s the difference?”

“It’s for future job changes.” Zhao Yunxiao succinctly replied, “If you want to become a priest who focuses on healing in the future, choose a god from the aspect of life or light.”

“If you want to switch to other professions such as dark priests, then choose a god from darkness, shadow, or chaos.”

“Uh…” Zheng Cheng hesitated, “What if we don’t want to switch jobs?”

“Hehe…” Zhao Yunxiao sneered, “I’m reminding you that these so-called gods are all traps!”

“Being a priest is naturally a divine calling. Although our Blue Star had myth-level powerhouses born over the past three hundred years, not a single one has ascended to godhood.”

“The gods that the priests choose when they receive the boundary-breaking mission are actually gods from other worlds!”

“Although the true gods of the otherworld are far away from our Blue Star, they still can’t reject the power of faith in between.”

“In the early days, we didn’t understand this. Priests controlled by otherworldly gods betrayed us at crucial moments, causing us great losses… ‘

“Of course, other than priests, Paladin, Ritualists, etc., also more or less have similar weaknesses. ”

“Unless, a true God emerges in our Blue Star.”

Zheng Cheng said in surprise, “Does that mean all priests are spies for otherworldly gods?”

“Of course not,” Zhao Yunxiao explained, “After centuries of research, we eventually caught onto this.”

“The priests just need to choose to worship the holy light during their early boundary-breaking missions and gain universal priest skills to avoid the prying eyes of otherworldly gods.”

“The holy light represents life and brilliance. It’s the purest energy and element, and it isn’t specific to one particular god.”

“I see.”

Zheng Cheng finally understood, though he was still a bit dazed.

“Saving lives…”

He remembered the hundreds of patients he treated at the Priest Guild.

He didn’t know if they would qualify.

“Do those constipation patients count?”

Zhao Yunxiao gave him a look and said, “What do you think? Of course not!”

“The so-called saving of lives refers to curing those who are dying or seriously injured.”

“The common initial skills of new priests all come with a healing effect. Either the Glow Healing Spell or Healing magic, they just need to spend a few days in the hospital after receiving the boundary breaking mission, they’ll be able to complete their mission.”

“For your initial skill…”

Zhao Yunxiao opened his mouth but didn’t know how to explain.

“Explore on your own. I’m off to support Old Jia.”

With that, Zhao Yunxiao rushed towards the Soil Monster.

This Soil Monster’s acute gastroenteritis had stopped for now. After all, there was nothing left for it to expel out.

It could only grimace in pain and keep hanging on.

With the assistance of Zhao Yunxiao, it was only a matter of time before the Soil Monster was defeated or captured.

Meanwhile, Zheng Cheng was left alone, surveying the chaotic barrack surroundings.

Soul Beasts roamed everywhere, and Nightwatchers were trying to capture and control them.

The ground had been destroyed into ruins, without a single intact piece of land left.

“Saving lives, Light of Life huh…”

“What should I do? Should I make people have diarrhea or dissect people?” Lost in thought, Zheng suddenly noticed a figure charging towards him!

It’s a strange creature as black as a ferocious canine.

The surrounding fog seethes, it groaned and a vortex appeared before Zheng’s eyes.

A Soul Beast!

These Soul Beasts are manifestations of civilians’ souls.

Their every attack can harm the soul!

Zheng Cheng quickly dodged, but the Soul Beast chased after him like a bone – gnawing maggot.

“Arrgh”000…”

The evil hound spirit beast tore away furiously, as if it had encountered an enemy protecting its food.

One careless move, and he is caught up by the evil hound spirit beast.

“Damn it!”

He spun around and gave a swift kick at the spirit beast.

Yet, it felt like he was kicking the air. The beast’s body rippled, letting his attack pass right through it.

Then, suddenly whirling around, it savagely bit his thigh.

“Shit!”

Feeling the chill from his leg, he didn’t hesitate to cast a void fire spell on the evil hound spirit beast.

“Go to hell! You cult follower, die!”

“Zzzzzz…!”

In an instant, it was as if cold water had been poured into boiling oil.

The hound spirit beast’s body immediately erupted, shaking violently.

Illusory flames burned, in a matter of seconds, turning the spirit beast to ashes!

Void fire, fueled by emotional fluctuations and mental waves.

And the essence of one’s psyche, is the soul!

It’s just like pouring a bucket of gasoline straight into a bonfire!

For a moment, Zheng Cheng seemed to see a middle-aged woman with a weathered face smiling faintly at him.

Then, she vanished!

“Spirit beast? Cult follower?”

“Before it dies, there’s a sudden realization…

Zheng Cheng’s body jolted as if he had remembered something.

Just now, did he annihilate a soul?

He looked at the entire battlefield, hundreds of spirit beasts were still rampaging.

Some watchmen were using different control skills to subdue them, and others were entangled with beasts.

And even more watchmen, were compelled to use everything they had to repel them!

Fire!

Lightning!

Gale winds!

Ice!

Elemental powers could just harm the spirit body!

A chill suddenly appeared in Zheng Cheng’s heart.

In the void, illusory snowflakes seemed to fall. Zheng Cheng instinctively caught a snowflake.

“Life, is this the passing of life…”

His eyes became sharp, and he had a plan in his heart.

With a flash, he did not retreat, but rushed towards the direction where the most spirit beasts were.

Which was…

The direction where the ordinary people were unconscious!

Cult followers deserved to die!

But before their death, could they… somehow be put to use?

“Zheng Cheng!”

Zhao Yunxiao, who was suppressing a mud monster, spotted Zheng Cheng’s movements and yelled, “What are you going to do? Come back!”

Zheng Cheng however, paid him no mind, using the terrain to run swiftly.

With a full exertion of his 36 -point agility, these spirit beasts could not catch up to him.

“Gentlemen! I have found a way to deal with these spirit beasts. I ask my colleagues to buy me some time!”

Zheng Cheng shouted, immediately attracting a response from the other watchmen.

“Good lad! What can you do?”

“Priest? I’ll clear a path for you!”

“Block them! Give the rookie a chance!”

“Hahaha…what about spirit beasts? I’ve almost got a hundred mental points already, bring it on!”
