Chapter 112: Chapter 112

"Lao san, you’re really that formidable, wiping out all these people." Lao Er yelled. The robbers who hadn’t noticed anything previously, quickly spotted their enemies.

"Could you be any quieter? We could have ambushed them." Du You said helplessly.

"Haha, didn’t you notice? Besides, these ordinary robbers are no match for us."

Even though Lao Er was right, Du You couldn’t help but wonder if going head-on was really wise. Whatever, his Magic Power was far from depleted. Fresh chapters posted on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

Lao Da approached them and said, "How are you, not injured, right?" By his side stood twenty Strawman Soldiers who seemed weak, but where there’s quantity, quality could be compensated.

Being a Scholar doesn’t seem easy, thought Du You.

Soon, the thieves showed up. Lao Er bellowed, grabbed his axe and charged forward. Lao Da let his Strawmen help out. Du You, seeing this, simply had his two birds assist.

The Curse Aura spread, combined with Xiaozi’s swooping attack, together with Lao Er, they wiped out the thieves thoroughly. However, these guys were far more inferior compared to the disciplined thieves. Seemingly, they were merely external thieves recruited by Tuo Ya Si, utilizing them as a smoke screen without any practical combat abilities.

After a while, all the robbers were killed. Du You was helpless; his two birds were exposed.

Looking at the two birds, Lao Da said reproachfully, "I know summoning-type skills can help a lot early on. Your summon beasts aren’t bad, but don’t mess around with them in the future."

Du You raised an eyebrow. It seemed he didn’t know something.

"What’s the problem? Non-professional skills, at worst, won’t perform as well and eat up a bit more power. It doesn’t matter for summoning skills since they’re one-time summons."

Lao Da shook his head, "These circumstances aren’t supposed to be known to many during the Awakener stage. I can inform you, but keep it to yourself. Pros are strong for a reason, unprofessional people can’t possibly be the strongest."

"The power of a professional doesn’t come from the added benefits of professional skills. The real strength lies in the fact that professional skills have no level cap, they can constantly be strengthened as you level up. Even without levelling up, there will be improvements in power."

"Skills that do not belong to your profession will have a limit, no matter how similar they are. Many skills max at level 10, making them take up a skill slot needlessly."

Pausing for a moment, Lao Da added seriously, "These skill slots are not entirely useless. Many seemingly unrelated professional skills are actually interconnected. The quantity and level of your personal skill upgrades will add beneficial effects to other personal skills. You may not notice it at low levels, but as the level increases, you’ll notice. "

Lao Da stated earnestly, "Hence, stick to learning your own professional skills in the future, and stay away from others. Your birds aren’t bad and should be of great help to you in the early stage."

He was right. With the two birds aiding him, Du You was even more formidable than their entire team.

Lao Da was concerned about the future, afraid that Du You would destroy himself by going down this path. However, Du You was confident. He had two skills. There wasn’t any serious error in his skill selections.

Only one of his skills didn’t belong to his profession, that is, summoning the Purple Lightning Eagle, but it was a special skill and whether it has an upper limit was unknown even to him. He’d need to pay more attention in the future.

"Understood, I’ll be careful," Du You sincerely assured.

If it was anyone else, they wouldn’t have shared this with him. People generally only learn these facts after they are level 10 and have suffered losses.

"Haha, this is awesome! Have we completed our clean-up task?"

Lao Da simply nodded, "Yes, we just need to bring back his head." He pointed at the body of Tuo Ya Si on the ground, clad in heavy armor and clearly the leader.

"With this equipment, we have even more substantial evidence." Yeah, such full-body heavy armor wasn’t easy to get hold of. This was proof of strong backing. Only Border City and Wood Shield City around here had the capability.

"Wait, this dude’s armor is excellent, and it fits my body size nicely."

"You want that too? It’s not equipment." Du You said helplessly.

"I don’t care that it isn’t equipment. It can temporarily boost my defenses." Lao Er completely disregarded the fact that it was second-hand.

Equipment could adjust size; that’s the nature of equipment. However, this non-equipment armor couldn’t, so the user must be of similar build. If that wasn’t the case, Lao Er wouldn’t even gadge it.

"Then be careful. My Mucus Swamp Spell is poisonous."

"Don’t worry about it, just leave it to me." With Dou Qi bursting out, Lao Er managed to shake off the poison before removing and wearing the armor. To his surprise, it fit perfectly. Now, Lao Er’s survivability rate has also increased.

"What about the great sword and shield?" Du You pointed at the ground, "You want them too?"

Lao Er shook his head immediately, "No, I’m a Wild Wind Warrior who uses an axe. What’s the point of me carrying them? I don’t know how to use them. Let’s take them back as evidence."

The set of armor was evidence too, but it was also their loot. Therefore, nobody would object to Lao Er keeping it. That’s how simple it is in the army.

"Let’s clean up and head back. Let’s turn in our task as soon as possible. We must have completed it the fastest this time."

Lao Da had already bundled up the armors to take back. Not only were they evidence, but they also served as equipment. Their contribution will be considerable whether they bring them back or wear them themselves. With so many armors, the three of them had to share the burden to carry them all. In the end, Lao Er personally made a cart and ran in front of them, hauling up the armors.
