Chapter 1587: The Odd Assassin

"That’s an interesting and apt name," Wang Wei nodded. The so-called Skill Source was the origin of the assassin’s weirdness. Her mind, body, soul, and even very [Existence] are permanently linked to this dimension with numerous abilities, spells, skills, and techniques. By using her versatile Dao, the assassin can use any of these skills as if she had cultivated the Dao they were based on.

It’s no wonder the Black Assassin Order was so famous. As long as their members cultivate a versatile Dao — such as rune, talisman, martial art — they can skip the process of creating and perfecting their skills. In fact, they don’t even have to be geniuses. The skills are already brilliant, and the assassin only needs to choose one, much like adding a SIM card to a phone.

Wang Wei was certain that the order encouraged talented members to create and innovate for the Skill Source. However, for ordinary members, they only needed to choose a Dao that fit the order’s demands, and their future would be predetermined.

’There is also the fact that as long as an assassin becomes a D-Class Primal, he can immediately access Ultimate Skills and jump to C-Class. If an assassin has a decent amount of talent and time, it’s possible to master the utilization of Grand Construct and jump to B-Class,’ Wang Wei analyzed.

He suddenly felt this assassin was both lucky and not as impressive as before. Well, to be fair, she has shown talent in mastering the power from the River of Time, meaning she has the opportunity to become an A-Class Primal.

However, the Black Assassin Order is what Wang Wei truly cares about. In the old era, their development might have been strangled by Heavenly Dao, preventing them from having too many Primals. But in the upcoming Transcendent Age, there will be no such limitations. In other words, their abilities to cultivate C-Class Primals will make them formidable.

Wang Wei was, of course, greedy for such a thing. The sect would benefit immensely from this Skill Source. Of course, he would not encourage his people to use others’ Ultimate Skills. Instead, he would allow members of the sect to experience what it’s like to use Ultimate Skills, ensuring they can create their own at the fastest speed. And in times of war and emergency, they could directly use the Skill Source.

Unfortunately, he’ll need to wait a while and plan ahead to have the slight chance at getting his hands on such a thing.

"You know, you’re lucky," Blue Ember suddenly said.

"How so?"

"In the old days, the order would hunt anyone who knew of the source’s existence. We would not stop until the target is dead — even if they run to the end of the world."

"You’re talking about the Eternal Order?" Wang Wei asked. He read about this from the sect and Wu Hong’s library. Once the Black Assassin Order released the Eternal Order, all their assassin would abandon whatever mission they were on and focus on killing the target. The order will even offer handsome rewards for any information about their target, but they do not accept anyone who kills the target themselves.

"That’s right," Blue Ember nodded.

"Well, now that one of your leaders is a Primordial Saint, it makes sense they no longer need to worry about revealing such a secret," Wang Wei nodded. He originally planned to seal the assassin’s connection to this Skill Source. Unfortunately, the entire thing was controlled by a Primordial Saint.

"Yes. Now that Sir Black Assassin Saint has reached the top of the Chaos Universe, our order will soon take its position as the number one assassin organisation. We will bring order to the universe by using shadowy means," Blue Ember said with immense fervor in her voice.

Wang Wei looked at her, his mouth agape. His shock was for two reasons. First, this assassin seemed too chatty, revealing so much information without hesitation or thought. Secondly, he never knew the Black Assassin Order had such grand ambitions.

"You’re not a very sociable person, are you?" Wang Wei asked.

"Why do you say that?"

"It’s obvious you’re not used to speaking to people, or you would not have revealed so much information in a less than five-minute conversation," Wang Wei said.

"Hmm, I did skip the intel gathering training. And the other assassins did say I’m straightforward and do not understand the beauty of assassination art. However, I just think they are not strong enough," Blue Ember said.
