Chapter 47: The Girl’s Sixth Sense!
The scenery around quickly retreated.
Soren raced along the traces tracked by his divine profession. At several locations where battles had occurred, he also saw some broken remnants. After this exploration, Soren had gained quite an understanding of the abilities he acquired after merging with his divine profession; it should be a type of divine ability similar to [d*ath Replay]. The God of d*ath could directly notice any traces of d*ath, but Soren was not yet capable of that; he could only assist his judgments through the tracking divine profession.
The fusion of the tracking divine profession with a part of the d*ath Domain’s power allowed him to see the moments before d*ath through combined traces.
“Is this the ability of a deity?”
“I’ve been a god for so long, and only now do I feel like I’ve truly touched the threshold of divinity!”
Half-Elf and Wanderer professions are passive professions; neither actively enhanced Soren’s abilities. The only combat-related divine profession he received was the tracking ability from the God of the Hunt—Mara.
Due to the changes brought by the d*ath Domain, Soren couldn’t help but feel a deep curiosity towards the immensely powerful divine profession of d*ath!
………………
On the other side.
Over a hundred kilometers away from Soren, a group was on the move, led by a legendary-level Monk. This team had a considerable number of members, most of whom were dressed as Monks, with only one spellcaster being a sorcerer and another a puppeteer. Unlike the puppeteer Soren had encountered, this puppeteer controlled a large wooden puppet, appearing rather average in strength. Beside him stood a girl named Chan, dressed in athletic gear, and at that moment, the puppeteer was trying to please her, seemingly eager to win her favor.
However, Chan was not fond of the puppeteer who frequently fawned over her; her occasionally furrowed brows indicated that her patience was nearing its limit.
Since their last adventure, Chan’s relationship with her former teammates had grown quite distant. Furthermore, after what had happened, it was no longer suitable for her to act alongside them. Thus, with the intention of training herself, Chan began traveling through the Eastern Kingdom to enhance her strength.
Originally, she thought that after signing a contract with a powerful demon, her future would surely be exceedingly bleak.
Indeed!
She even considered that she might encounter some deeply embarrassing experiences, but to her surprise, nothing of the sort occurred.
No fall into evil rituals, no shameful incidents.
It was as if she had been forgotten by that terrifying demon, and her life had not changed significantly. However, her strength had improved rapidly.
An indescribable feeling.
Chan found her comprehension of combat skills increasingly remarkable, and she was no longer afraid of any flames.
At least for now, the demon had only brought her benefits.
Finally.
The girl’s patience ran out completely; she turned her head and glared at the puppeteer beside her, coldly huffing, “Shut up! The enemies we are dealing with this time are very dangerous!”
“You should focus more on how to deal with the upcoming battle.”
The puppeteer was suddenly at a loss for words.
He had intended to take out a few small trinkets to please the girl, but now he quietly put them away. Several companions behind him snickered, as Chan, with her beautiful appearance and tall figure, had garnered much attention since she joined the team. The puppeteer seemed to stick to her like glue.
However, this aspiring Master of Fist girl did not seem so approachable, and her attitude towards others was very cold.
This operation was arranged by the Baiyun Sect.
The emergence of an artifact had already caused a lot of trouble, prompting the Baiyun Sect to send people to acquire this artifact and seal it.
Monks rarely used weapons, and this was not the first time the Baiyun Sect had sealed an artifact. The famous artifact of the Eastern Kingdom, ‘Exile,’ was also collected and sealed by the Baiyun Sect.
According to the Baiyun Sect, this artifact that had recently appeared was extremely evil.
It radiated a murderous aura; ordinary people wielding it could easily be influenced. Such an artifact should not be carried around. It would be better for them to seal it directly.
Basically, every Master of Fist maintains a close relationship with monasteries.
Chan, as an aspiring Master of Fist, was herself an orphan born in a monastery. Although she did not have as many codes as Monks, she still maintained many connections with the Baiyun Sect. Some abilities of the Masters of Fist were also trained through the Baiyun Sect.
Another factor in Chan’s decision to help was her desire to master the legendary [Moon Shadow Style].
The Baiyun Sect is one of the most powerful monasteries in the Eastern Kingdom, with special techniques for cultivating [Moon Shadow Style], [Eye Unreachable], and [Shadow Trace].
The Monk school primarily consists of skill flow and brute force flow.
As an aspiring Master of Fist, Chan could hardly cultivate [Vajra Body] as a woman, so she chose the path of [Ethereal Body].
Thus, she could only choose one between [Solar Blaze] and [Moon Shadow Style].
Unless one gained some fortuitous encounter to progress rapidly, mastering both [Solar Blaze] and [Moon Shadow Style] could only be accomplished by those with exceptional talent.
Chan’s purpose this time was to build relations in hopes of entering the Baiyun Sect for deeper training.
In fact, the best place to cultivate [Ethereal Body] is the Natural Sect, but this school of Monks has always only associated closely with Druids, and their relations with the outside world are akin to the Druid Order on the other side of the continent with other powers.
They are hard to deal with.
The group’s progress was swift; there were already individuals shadowing the one holding the artifact. They only needed to follow the traces left behind.
However.
Today, for some reason, Chan continually felt a sense of being watched.
Moreover, this feeling grew stronger; she intuitively sensed that something was bound to happen next. The difficulty of practicing as a Monk is a bit higher than that of other professionals, as Monks require considerable strength to perform [Penetrating Force] and [Quake Palm], enough agility to master [Shadow Steps] and [Lightness Technique], and a sufficient constitution to achieve [Ethereal Body] and [Vajra Body].
However.
The most crucial attribute for Monks is their perceptual ability, which determines whether a Monk is strong enough.
The instinctive evasion in battle is the core of a Monk’s survival without wearing armor; the stronger the perception, the more astonishing the Monk’s instinctive evasion becomes, performing better than other professions that possess instinctive evasion. And Chan is that kind of girl born with extraordinary perception; without her innate [Sixth Sense], her orphan status would likely not have allowed her to advance to become a Master of Fist. It is precisely because her main attribute is perception that Monks have good relationships with Druids and Priests. Priests sense the divine, Druids sense nature, and Monks’ perceptions are mainly used for self-understanding; the main attribute of all three professions is [Perception].
Chan is a girl naturally endowed with the [Sixth Sense]; otherwise, she wouldn’t have reached her current level of strength.
Monks develop various supernatural abilities that are not spells due to their perception of themselves, such as [Dark Force], [Penetrating Force], [Lightness Technique], and so on.
While both are about the training and cultivation of the body, the largest difference between Warriors and Monks is whether they can perceive their inner potential!
The two combine.
Thus, the cultivation method of the Sword Saint was born.

(Note: The main attribute for Monks is perception, and important attributes include strength, agility, and constitution. Like Paladins, they belong to a high-demand profession category.) (To be continued ~^~)
