Chapter 11: Class and Emergency Quest?

--- Chapter 11 ---

After becoming the High Human, Huo Yuhao discovered many perks and abilities from his new race. First of all, his sense was way better than before. He could sense any living being's presence within twenty meters radius with his hearing alone.

The second perk was simple yet complex because his thought process became five times faster. He could solve problems by simply shifting his focus to one topic. And using this new perk, he could widen his Kenbunshoku Haki to further boundaries.

And the last perk was his new body. Huo Yuhao has never felt this amazed in his entire life because the adaptable physique is like a new stigma for him. No matter how much he pushed his body to the limit, he adapted to it a day later. Still, adaptation isn't an immediate process because he must rest to achieve it.

"It's like a discount version of Zenkai Boost." He commented wryly once. "However, unlike Zenkai Boost when one needed to be brutally injured, my adaptation works by simply pushing my limit."

...

At the Cottage.

Huo Yuhao whistled casually and skillfully stirred a pot filled with medicinal herbs. "Sono chi no sadame~!" He commented while pouring a red liquid into the boiling pot, making his concoction release a white smoke.

He smiled and added, "Jojo~!"

"Well, the Fire-Enhancing Potion is finished. It's nice to have a fast-running mind because I can convert information and technique, implementing it without a problem to create a potion like this."

[Name: Fire-Enhancing Potion]

[Type: Consumable/Self-Made]

[Grade: A+]

[Description: An unique tonic filled with rich medicinal effects, and drinking it would enhance one's fire resistance and affinity to a higher level. This tonic could increase one's strength by three times]

After gathering over 200 medicinal herbs in the past two weeks, Huo Yuhao began to use Master Alchemist Skill and create so many drugs/potions. He also invented different poisons but was more secretive about creating them because none should know his secret. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

"This is the last dose." He commented while downing the Fire-Enhancing Potion for the sixth time. He felt a spark inside his stomach and dropped to the floor, meditating to absorb the medicine.

A few minutes passed quickly, and the blue-haired boy exhaled white vapor from his mouth. Huo Yuhao's body released an intense sweat and somehow gained a slight crimson gleam.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle and muttered, "The medicine property isn't effective anymore, huh? My current physical strength is close to or even equal to Spirit Ancestor with four spirit rings."

"That's amazing, considering I could absorb over a Millennium years old spirit ring without any problem now." He stared at the window and saw the morning sky. "It's morning already?"

"Evo, Status."

[Opening Status]

[Name: Huo Yuhao]

[Race: High Human]

[Age: 5(Almost 6)]

[Cultivation Realm: None]

[Martial Soul: Unawakened]

[Skills: Craftsmanship, Cooking, Alchemist]

[Techniques: Haki(+), Penetrating Fist, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Dagger Mastery][Upgrading Tickets: Iron(51), Bronze(90), Silver(3)]

Huo Yuhao smirked because the Advanced Training Quest was like a free gold mine for him. He manipulated the objectives and trained more than he should have been, doubling and even tripling the amount with his adaptable physique.

As a result, Huo Yuhao received more rewards. Advanced Training Quest gave 5 Bronze Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Apprentice Class Book. He doubled the objective before the quest was over and gained more.

"Still, I only got four Class Books for some reason." He said while staring at his inventory. "Should I use them now? Evo, use Bronze Upgrading Tickets on the Class Books. I have a lot of them anyways."

[Using 4x Bronze Upgrading Tickets on four Random Apprentice Class Books]

[Upgrading...]

[...]

[You have acquired Four Veteran Class Books]

[Do you want to use them?]

"Yeah." Huo Yuhao nodded, feeling a rush of information in his head. He doesn't get any headaches because his spiritual energy and mind have become stronger when becoming High Human.

[You have received Assassin, Avenger, Paladin, Archer Classes]

"Oh, these classes." He stared at the system panel with a surprised look. "Some of them sound cool, and others are self-explanatory."

[Yes/No?]

"Evo, Are you serious?" Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched in annoyance. "Tch, whatever. I can get two Silver Upgrading Tickets, so why not?"

"I also can test my Class."

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and used the Kenbunshoku Haki to cover a part of the city, sensing two ill intents following the princess's group. He added Bososhoku Haki to his legs and jumped into the air.

A flash of lightning escaped Huo Yuhao's body, covering his presence from other's senses. He arrived at the alley and saw the princess in the corner, raising her sword at the assassin.

"Here we go." Huo Yuhao picked Baruka's Dagger from inventory and waited for a chance.

...

Clank!

"Who are you?!" Xu Jiujiu frowned while staring at the dark-covered person in front of her. "How did you know our plan?"

The assassin was quiet and leaped to the air, creating a wind slash toward the princess. He revealed a small hidden knife and threw it at her.

Xu Jiujiu wanted to use her martial soul, but she somehow was attacked by another assassin. She coughed blood and looked behind, finding a woman in a dark robe.

She was cornered and left with no choice but to destroy an orb inside her clothes. Fireworks soared to the sky and created a massive explosion with the royal family's symbol.

"I'll not die!" She firmly said while summoning a beautiful-looking crown on her head.

"You won't." A voice echoed in the area.

The assassin's instinct screamed to dodge, but it was too late because his head was separated from his body by a white-gleaming dagger.

[You have killed An Assassin]

Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to the other assassin and kicked the ground, rushing to her.

"Throw me your sword!" He shouted at the princess. Xu Jiujiu gritted her teeth in confusion and threw her sword at Huo Yuhao.

[You have activated the Avenger Class]

Huo Yuhao grasped the sword handle and activated Avenger's exclusive skills. Avenger Force, causing a wave of heat to explode from his body and reducing the enemy's speed by 10%.

"Graves." Huo Yuhao flashed to the assassin and swung the sword at her.

The assassin activated her martial soul and summoned a turtle with a thick shell. Her body was covered with a protective layer, glowing with dim green light.

CLANK!

"No..." Xu Jiujiu stared at this scenery with horror on her face.

"Nice guard." Huo Yuhao smiled behind his goblin mask because Graves is a three-hit skill. He rotated his whole body and slashed the barrier again, executing a powerful rising slash last.

CLANK! BAM!

The sword slashed through the assassin's body, leaving bloody scenery in the alley.

[You have killed an Assassin]

Huo Yuhao sighed because that was his first fight in this world after training for so long. He threw the sword back at the princess and checked her condition with Kenbunshoki Haki.

"Drink this." He said indifferently while picking up a potion in his inventory.

"Eh, Um, what?" The princess reacted weirdly.

Huo Yuhao was annoyed and shoved the whole potion into her mouth, jumping to the roof as his quest finished. He couldn't stay here for too long because her previous signal must have called some "powerful." people.

[You have finished the Emergency Quest]

[You have received 2 Silver Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Class-Based Armor(B-A)]

"Sweet." Huo Yuhao hummed while returning to the forest.

...

"Princess!!" A middle-aged woman arrived at the alley with a worried expression. "Are you okay??"

"T-There was a blue-haired boy who wore a weird-looking mask. He saved me..." Xu Jiujiu slumped on the ground and stared at the sky.

"He saved me..."
