The next day, early in the morning.

Thorne walked into a nearby grove amid the rumbling of the tower gate.

He listened to the melodious birdsong, felt the rich natural atmosphere, sat casually on a green lawn, and adjusted his attributes:

EXP: 331020

Practice point: 1240

...

Looking at the experience points accumulated for a long time, Thorne no longer hesitated and started to upgrade the level directly.

With a thought, he took the lead in assigning experience points to the professional level of the ranger.

"Ding!"

Consume 160,000 experience points to upgrade the ranger level.

Ranger level increased to level 10.

Gain 6 skill points and increase health by 10 points.

Gain class feature: Third Favourite Enemy.

Gain 1 free attribute point.

1st ring magic position +1, 2nd ring magic position +1, 3rd ring ranger magic +1.

...

Seeing that the level of the ranger has been improved and that there is not much experience left, Thorne ignores the rest and turns his attention to the kendo profession again.

Kendo: Level 9 (0160000)

"Ding!"

Consume 160,000 experience points to upgrade the level of Kendo.

The Kendo level has been raised to level 10.

Gain 6 skill points and increase health by 10 points.

Gain class feature: Quick Initiative (Advanced).

Gain 1 free attribute point.

Sword Intent comprehension progress is increased by 1%, and 20,000 practice points are obtained.

...

After all the upgrades were completed, Thorne set the third old enemy to be the Hobgoblin. After all, the enemy he was about to face was the Hobgoblin. Setting them as the old enemy was a good improvement for him.

Then he directly allocated 2 free attribute points to the strength he had decided a long time ago.

Immediately, when the basic strength attribute had already reached 19 points, after these 2 points of improvement, it reached 21 points.

This also means that he has broken through the limits of mortals and has become an extraordinary power.

Immediately afterwards, a personal feat related to the strength attribute is obtained by meeting the conditions.

Thorne looked at the three available personal feats that popped up: Power Attack, Homeopathy, and Athlete.

He considered for a moment, and finally chose the "athletic" expertise that he had already mastered.

"Ding!"

You already have the "athlete" expertise!

The two specialties overlap...

The "Sportsman" specialty has been upgraded to the proficient level!

...

[Athlete (Proficient): You are a professional whose physical fitness is naturally suitable for various sports. When you are running, climbing, jumping, swimming, and other strenuous activities, you are more efficient than others. In addition, you also have the skills and methods to save energy, which can allow you to exercise a certain sport for a longer time, or to last longer when you do the activities you like. 】

The main reason for choosing this feat is that the adaptation range of the "Power Attack" and "Homeopathy" feats is relatively small, and they can only play their due role in the attack.

Moreover, these two specialties belong to the kind of wide opening and closing, which is more suitable for warriors or barbarians, and is not suitable for a skilled professional like him.

The "Athlete" specialty is a specialty that comprehensively improves physical fitness. The enhancement of this specialty will undoubtedly increase all his sports values.

It can not only play a role in battle, but also in life or when practicing various moves, it can persist for longer and make it more efficient.

Then, Thorne added all the 12 skill points he had just acquired to the "Concentration" skill again.

At this moment, all of his dual occupations have finally reached level 10, which means that he is about to step into the ranks of Tier 3 professionals: the hero level.

Hero Level (Levels 11 - 16): You've become a shining example of courage and determination - a true role model for the world and stand out among the crowd. At the same time, a greater destiny begins to loom in front of you, urging you to find a path that truly suits you.

This is the so-called 'hero level'.

But if you want to raise your strength to the "hero level", you must meet certain advanced conditions.

Then Thorne immediately turned his attention to the conditions for the advanced "hero level":

Upgrade conditions:

1. 200,000 experience points and 50,000 practice points: not achieved.

2. Common Specialty (56): Unachieved.

3. Personal expertise (76): Achieved.

4. Background Specialty (22): Achieved.

5. The Heart of the Ranger (Progress: 0%), The Road to Kendo (Progress: 0%)

Completion: 33%!

...

The first condition is not a big problem for him, it is nothing more than a problem of farming monsters and gaining experience.

There is no problem with the second common specialty. As long as he stays at home and practices hard, he can complete it in a year at most.

The only thing that bothers Thorne is the fifth condition.

[Heart of a Ranger (Progress: 0%): A Ranger is a kind of natural guardian who roams the wilderness and calls for the wild. What kind of Ranger is a Ranger that is really suitable for you? Maybe you need to find this piece that vaguely appears in front of you. path of. 】

[The Way of the Swordsman (Progress: 0%): The Swordsman is a veteran of physical skills and a master of swordsmanship. He is a master of swords whose knowledge of the supreme road can unlock various powerful abilities. In short, no matter what you specialize in, you need to find a path of kendo that really suits you. 】

...

As for the fifth advanced condition, he asked the Druid Master Qingchen a few days ago. As a 10th-level druid, his fifth condition is 'Druid Heart'.

As for how to achieve 100% progress, Master Qingchen said that it is very simple, but it is also difficult.

The simple way is to put all of your body and mind into the arms of the gods, walk on the road that the gods have long paved for his followers, and walk naturally unimpeded.

This is why, as long as one's own beliefs are firm, the priest professional is the fastest group in the player group.

The highest-level priest player he met was Evelyn, the priestess of Rose in the Underdark.

When he left the Underdark, her rank became the upstart of Rezim King City because of the fourth natural disaster, and received the gift of the spider **** queen, which was a natural way to reach the fourth rank model.

From this we can see how perverted the unreasonable promotion method of the pastoral profession is.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, after all, when you embark on the path of pastor, it means that you will lose a lot.

This is why, the Druid Master Qingchen did not choose to dedicate his faith to the God of Nature.

This has led to his level reaching level 10 for more than half a year, but there is still no sign of breaking through to the 'hero level'.

Because if he wants to advance perfectly, he must reach 100% of the progress of 'Druid Heart'.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that if you want to determine a path that belongs to you, you must maintain a firm determination.

If your heart suddenly shakes one day, then this progress will also decrease with the change of your own mood, and it may even happen that you will not reach 100% progress in your entire life.

Since Dust Master has only one single-professional Druid, his progress is relatively improved.

However, Thorne is a dual career, which means that if you want to complete 100% perfect advancement, you must achieve 100% of the two paths, the Heart of the Ranger and the Road of Kendo, and perfectly integrate them to form a single path. Not only suitable for rangers, but also in line with the path of Kendo.

Therefore, he still has no clue about this kind of road that is vaguely emerging in front of him.

Although he knows how to take the path of the Ranger's Heart, the path of the Ranger is not suitable for kendoists.

Thorne can even think of the situation in which the progress of the Path of the Kendo family has been insanely declining as the progress of the Heart of the Ranger continues to improve.

After all, the path of a ranger is a natural wilderness, while a kendo is more of a path that constantly challenges oneself.

If he wants to achieve 100% perfect advancement, he must find a way to find a path that allows both progresses to grow at the same time, a path that truly belongs to him.

If this path of his own conflicts with the teachings of the tracking god, he will even give up this faith!

Once, Malvasia specially explained a sentence to him: Only professionals who always maintain a perfect advanced level can obtain unimaginable benefits when they reach the Legend of Destiny.

The longer Thorne was in contact with her, the more convinced he was of the goblin wizard's words, and he wouldn't be surprised if she said to him one day that she planned to hold a consecration ceremony.

What's more, even if Malvasia doesn't remind him, someone like him who likes perfection will persistently achieve 100% perfection.

Otherwise, he wouldn't waste more than half a year to upgrade to level 5 when the ranger level reached level 4.

He is a person who is committed to the road to the strong, and naturally he will not miss every opportunity to improve his strength.

In the natural transformation ceremony held, as a ranger, he actually obtained the ability of the priest's exclusive domain, which is the best proof that he has achieved perfect advancement.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is to walk, he must persevere.

There is always a way out.

Moreover, yesterday's tarot cards also revealed one-sided information about these otherworldly visitors.

They are a group of people who can forge their own destiny, because their power is far stronger than the fetters of fate.

After all, only with strong strength can you guarantee your own survival, and only when you become stronger can you protect everything you cherish.

This is a cruel world with gods, a world of constant turmoil and catastrophe, and in an age of chaos, the most worthless is the humble life.

While the old chaos has subsided and the devastated world is slowly recovering, Thorne firmly believes that the new chaos is definitely brewing quietly in a dark corner, and then bursting out when you relax a little.

His strength is not very strong, and he is very inconspicuous in the whole continent, but he has witnessed it with his own eyes: the abyss crack torn by Winter City, the roaring Balor, and the gnoll who was powerfully beheaded by the Nine Swords Grandmaster. King incarnate.

He also witnessed the undead king Orthus in the underground tunnels of the Tower of the Dead in the Twin Towers, and the Ferryman among their fellow Astral Insights.

It can be seen from this that the world is really not as beautiful as imagined, and in the shadow of all beautiful things, there are often fatal crises.

In this case, the only choice is to keep getting stronger.

Destiny legend!

This is the goal he has been pursuing and the belief to become stronger.

But in this cruel reality, there are still two big gaps blocking his path to the legend of destiny: the heroic level and the exemplary way.

Therefore, it is destined that he will embark on a road of constantly challenging himself.

The moment Thorne determined his goal, he immediately sensed that the progress of the Kendo Master's path in the advanced conditions had suddenly increased by 5%, which immediately made him realize something.

"It seems that this road of kendoists is a road of constant challenges. As for how to fit in with the heart of a ranger, we can only try slowly." Thorne whispered after a moment of silence, and was ready to get up and return to the tower.

Because he has promised Malvasia to leave for Twilight Town today and bring back a legendary soul spar.

In this case, even if the initial modification of their Emerald Tower is completed, they will be able to play a powerful role in future Hobgoblin battles.

However, before he got up, he noticed the sound of footsteps in the forest.

After a while, Andrina's figure appeared in his sight.

"You really hid here alone." Seeing Thorne sitting on the lawn, Andrina smiled at him, came to him and sat down.

"How is it, does your head still hurt?"

Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, Thorne took her into his arms, lowered his head and sighed on her pretty cheek, and with the other hand skillfully brushed away her long black hair that was scattered like a cloud, gently. Kneading her head acupuncture points to relieve the pressure.

"Yesterday you almost rubbed me all night, it's much better." Andrina smiled back at Thorne, and then closed her eyes slightly to enjoy Thorne's service.

This kind of treatment is unfortunate for everyone, and for her, it is natural to enjoy it.

It went on like this for a while, and Andrina seemed to remember something, so she said with a slightly displeased tone:

"When did you come out in the morning, and you didn't say hello to me. When I woke up and saw the empty space around me, I thought you had left the town of Falls."

"I didn't want to disturb you because you were sleeping soundly. Besides, if I left, how could I not say hello to you."

Hearing Andrina's dissatisfied tone, Thorne's hand gently stroked her long, smooth hair, and said with a smile, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Thorn, do you know why I asked you to plant flowers in the garden yourself?" Andrina didn't answer his question, but opened her watery eyes and stared at Thorne's cheeks quietly.

"This.... You'd better say it directly." Thorne, who couldn't think of the reason, chose to compromise.

"Because you are a person who doesn't like to go home often, I will ask you to help me plant some of my favorite flowers, so that they can help me share some thoughts of you when I take care of it every day." Delina reached out and stroked Thorne's face, and said calmly.

At this time, Andrina clearly remembered that after Thorne brought her to the town of Falls, he directly threw her to the tower alone for more than two months.

During this period, the unscrupulous ranger did not return to see her once.

Even if she didn't take the initiative to reveal her heart to confirm the relationship between the two, let her rely on this cute ranger to speak out? It's simply not possible.

Although she thought so, and occasionally complained alone, she felt that everything she did was worth it.

After all, she has regarded Thorne as her own support. The only fly in the ointment is that he cannot guarantee that he will be by her side every day.

Because he is a ranger, he is destined to improve his strength in a very different way than a wizard.

"I'll miss you every day, too." Thorne let Andrina's slender hand caress his face. He didn't know how to answer, and he finally forced out these words.

He didn't know why, every time he faced Andrina's various questions, he couldn't answer them in a hurry.

After all, Andrina's novel brain circuits are sometimes even more out of rhythm.

"I see, I can understand your mood." Andrina naturally understood what Thorne meant, so she smiled at him and got up and left his embrace.

"This is for you. I don't want my lover to have no way to escape when they are in a desperate situation." Then, Anderina took out an exquisite small purse, tapped it lightly, a pair of exquisite pure black leather Boots appear in hand.

It was then handed to Thorne.

Dimensional Boots +2

Type: boots

Quality: Purple Excellent

Effect: Stealth +10

Advanced Conjuration Aura: Dimensional Step (33 times per day)

(Note: This is a pair of boots made of flash dog fur, which not only allows the wearer to produce a silent rhythm when walking, but also has the ability to jump in dimensions. In short, whether it is fighting or escaping, it is all occupations a dream gear.)
