Demon Hunter and His Cabin

Chapter 78: Chapter 078: Starting Up

“`

Hiss!

Roger let out a breath and sheathed his sword.

His whole body was drenched in sweat; he maintained his last pose, not even daring to move, as the training had drained every ounce of his strength.

But the past few days of training had significantly increased his own strength.

Elven Dagger Technique LV3: The agility of elves becomes part of your muscles; your skills with a dagger are exceptional, swift, and further enhanced with increased reaction speed.

Faster, even faster.

This is the essence of the elven dagger technique!

Universal Sword Techniques LV3: Your physical quality has been comprehensively developed, your burst stamina now far exceeds that of an ordinary human!

Under highly concentrated attention, your bursts can last longer, more focused, and also achieve extraordinary precision.

Burst and precision, these are the special exertion techniques Roger understood from the Universal Sword Techniques after his physical quality had improved by leaps and bounds.

Besides, having both skills reaching level 3, as Roger predicted, new information appeared on the notice board.

Immature Apprentice Hunter, your physical quality has barely met the standards to commence the Green Grass Trial, complete the trial, and you will undergo a complete transformation and enter the Transcendent realm!

Please remember, a robust physique and a resilient spirit are the basic guarantees for passing through the Green Grass Trial.

Be cautious.

There is no shame in fear.

“So I’ve only reached the most basic standard?”

Morsen frowned slightly, clenched his fists, and terrible power surged through his body, now far surpassing an ordinary person in terms of physical quality alone.

Yet even so, it seems far from enough.

Transcendent, that is a wholly new realm.

To break through the theoretical limits of the human body, a qualitative leap, evolution in all aspects, and the Green Grass Trial is even more extreme!

After a brief rest, Roger staggered into the study and pulled out the Cultivation Manual, which indeed had updated content.

Green Grass Trial: The necessary path to becoming a true Demon Hunter. From muscles to bones and even internal organs, terrible potions will utterly destroy the body and rebuild it.

In this process, you will gain an incredibly strong physique and perception ability, and even have the chance to unlock your first Dharma Seal!

The Green Grass Trial has the following stages:

Strengthening: Before the complete transformation begins, trainees need to continuously push their physical quality to the human limit and polish their spirit, possessing an iron will.

Below are recorded the detailed training methods, but just then, Roger’s vision blurred, and the words on the book scattered like bubbles, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t discern them.

“What’s going on?”

A sting passed through his brain, he shook his head, but the dizzy feeling remained.

A realization dawned on him, “Is it the spirit? My spiritual power is not up to the minimum standard, that’s why I can’t proceed with the subsequent training.”

He focused his spirit and looked towards the book again; indeed, the previous text was as clear as ever, but when it came to the specifics of the training methods, the dizziness reappeared.

“It’s some kind of self-protection to a certain extent.”

Comparing to the previous situation, Roger quickly came to a conclusion; the next stage of training must be incredibly dangerous, possibly even lethal, which is why the Cultivation Manual had such protective measures.

My current physical quality should just barely meet the standards, but spiritually, I’m lacking.

Roger originally thought that with his physical quality, he would quickly pass the Green Grass Trial, but now it seems he had taken the Green Grass Trial too lightly.

“That’s better, it’s preferable to rushing in recklessly and losing my life.”

Aside from the specific methods of the trial, the Cultivation Manual also included a new set of sword techniques for fighting.

“`

Night Cat Swordsmanship: This is a set of basic sword techniques from the Cat Fraction, light and versatile, seeking an advantage through rapid movement without a high demand on physical strength.

“Fantastic!”

With a handy Steel Sword added to a set of fierce swordsmanship, Roger thought carefully and felt he was becoming more and more like a real Demon Hunter.

His body ached terribly, naturally making it unsuitable for any training at the moment, so after putting his things away, he climbed into his little bed.

“I hope the Hunter’s Cabin can be upgraded soon. Resting for 6 hours at a time is still too long…”

Half-asleep, Roger drifted off, slaying on all sides with his Steel Sword in his dreams, and of course, more importantly, there were the wine and women after the battles…

When he woke up, it was already late afternoon.

Roger didn’t continue with his training. He had been practicing relentlessly over the past few days, pushing himself almost to the limit both mentally and physically. Having completed a stage, it was a good time to relax a bit.

After tidying up briefly, he shouldered his backpack and headed home.

“You and Thomas have been studying the habits of wild animals these past days. How’s it going? Any findings?”

Adeline, on break from her shift, asked with concern as Roger entered the house.

“Not bad.” Although Thomas was somewhat… his knowledge of wild animal behavior was indeed profound, and Roger learned a lot from him.

“Just take a good rest today. There’s a big bonfire party in the town center tonight. It’s a perfect occasion to join in.”

“Such a celebration happens only once a year.”

After giving it some thought, Roger didn’t refuse. After dinner, Adeline took all the kids to the town center square.

The square was bustling with residents and tourists wearing Murloc masks, singing and dancing—people were dropping all pretense and thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Roger was pulled into the crowd by Adeline and had no choice but to dance along. But just then, a girl in a light blue dress stumbled and fell right into Roger’s arms.

“Are you okay?”

“Sorry, I was pushed by someone… Huh?”

“Roger?”

A fair-skinned girl with black hair lifted her head, looking at Roger with surprise and delight.

“You know me?”

“We’re in chemistry class together; you sit right next to me.”

The girl extended her fair hand, “I’m Kelly, now you should remember, right?”

Roger laughed awkwardly; he had no recollection of this girl at all.

“It’s a bit noisy here; can we talk over there?” Kelly suggested.

Roger wasn’t fond of the atmosphere either; he nodded and walked away from the crowd with Kelly.

Not far away, Adeline, watching the scene, said nothing, only gently nudging Amanda’s shoulder.

“You need to act fast, it seems like Roger is quite popular with the girls.”

Amanda scoffed, “What does that have to do with me?” Though she said this, her eyes couldn’t help glancing toward them.

Since returning from Swamp Town, Amanda had been irritable, tormented by what had happened like a nightmare, without even someone to confide in.

“It’s getting late, could you walk me home?” At last, Kelly invited Roger.

“Truthfully, I’m a little afraid to be alone at home without my parents…” she said, her expressive eyes fixed on Roger.

Roger understood the girl’s clear hint very well.

He smiled and didn’t hesitate in his response.

“I can’t.”
