Chapter 72: 72. (Master Level Hunter Zode) 1
Translator: 549690339
The class ranks in “Evolution” are divided according to the maximum levels of each expansion pack.
The first expansion pack “Golden Sparrow Empire” has a maximum level of 29, making players at levels 10-29 called first-tier professionals;
The second expansion pack has a maximum level of 49, making players at levels 30-49 called second-tier professionals;
The third expansion pack sees players at levels 50-59, called the third-tier professionals;
Levels 60-69 as the fourth-tier;
Levels 70-74 as the fifth-tier;
Levels 75-79 as the sixth-tier;
Levels 80-84 as the seventh-tier;
Levels 85-89 as the eighth-tier;
Eighth-tier professionals are the pinnacle of strength both in and outside the game.
There are only 12 eighth-tier professionals in the game, and there are only 15 such professionals among the Skuru people outside the game.
Of course, although the expansion packs have level caps, most players can’t even come close to reaching them.
In Su Yu’s previous life, a year later when the Skuru launched a full-scale attack, the highest level cap was raised to level 84, seventh-tier professional, and most people were still hanging out in the third or fourth tier.
The [Shadow Priest Xi Fan] Su Yu is facing is the chief adviser to Princess Alyssa, level 80, a seventh-tier shadow priest. There are no more than 130 creatures stronger than him in the game world.
At this level, Xi Fan could kill Su Yu with a simple breath.
But this is after all a game, to ensure playability, the main storyline will not give players must-die missions, so Xi Fan’s control over Su Yu becomes the “Soul Realm Trial”.
The so-called “Soul Realm” is a system-simulated NPC opponent similar to the player’s strength and counteractive to the player’s class.
Because Su Yu is a mage, his opponent is an archer who counters mages;
If Su Yu was an archer, his opponent would be an assassin;
If Su Yu was an assassin, his opponent would be a warrior….
Moreover, Su Yu’s gear is very good, and his skills are epic-grade, so his simulated opponent is [Master Hunter Zode], who possesses a full set of archer skills and has up to 2000 health points.
As soon as the battle begins, Zode steps back from Su Yu and summons a [Magma Cerberus].
“Face Garryx’s fury!”
The [Magma Cerberus], who speaks human language, roared and pounced at su Yu.
One of its heads can cast [Devour Magic], which is ready to go. If Su Yu were to cast a spell at it, it would be devoured by this head.
The reason archers counter mages is because their range is longer than that of mages, allowing them to launch attacks from beyond the range of mages’ spells. At this moment, Zode’s feather arrows are already whizzing towards Su
But Su Yu didn’t flinch at all.
He glanced at the two second-tier spell scrolls he had bought in the Scholar’s Temple and smiled subtly.
The Magma Cerberus, blazing with lava all over its body, had already charged swiftly towards him.
Su Yu quickly drank an [Intermediate Wisdom Potion], which boosted his intelligence by +20 points.
He cast an [Ice Arrow] which was swallowed, then cast [Frost Nova] to freeze the Cerberus in place.
He cast a [Flash Skill] to avoid Zode’s shots and quickly ran toward Zode to close the distance.
Once in range, [Lightning Bolt] and the second-tier spell scroll [Sequential Fireball] fired from Su Yu’s hand, hitting before the first spell.
Zode was taken by surprise, not expecting Su Yu’s speed to be so fast.
Faced with the [Lightning Bolt] and [Sequential Fireball], he quickly used [Leap Back] to dodge.
During the leap back, Zode threw a large number of traps in front of him.
A blue [Ice Trap], a red [Explosive Trap], and a green [Poison Snake Trap]…
The traps were numerous, nearly blocking the path for Su Yu to get close.
Su Yu wasn’t in a hurry, he waved his hand and activated the first-tier scroll [Summon Rock Elemental].
The sturdy rock elemental appeared in front of Su Yu, taking steady steps towards the trap formation.
Click! Boom! Sssss!
The Rock Element was sometimes frozen into white by frost; sometimes it was charred black by fire; sometimes it stepped on strings of poisonous snakes…
paving a prickly path soaked in rock dust for Su Yu.
Su Yu followed behind the Rock Element, using it as a cover, constantly casting spells at Zode.
[Lightning Bolt], [Thunderfall Skill], [Lightning Bolt], [Ice Cone Skill]…
Although Zode had skills like [Back Jump], [Intimidation], [Spirit Turtle Guard], etc. to avoid Su Yu’s spells, skills after all had a cooldown time.

Zode’s health rapidly decreased, quickly dropping to less than 1000 under Su Yu’s onslaught.
He attempted to deal maximum damage to the Rock Element, launching skills like [Snipe], [Aimed Strike], [Double Arrow Shot]… one after another.
The Rock Element’s physical defense was very high, but Zode’s damage was also not bad.
Under his attack, the Rock Element’s health was exhausted, and it crumbled into pieces on the ground.
The Rock Element fell, greatly boosting Zode’s spirits!
But before he had a chance to launch an attack, Su Yu slightly smiled, activating the second-grade scroll, [Summoning Diamond Elemental]!
A creature more massive and imposing than the Rock Element, a transparent, glittering stone Elemental, rose in front of Su Yu, causing endless despair in Zode’s heart.
At this point, Zode had been pushed to the corner of the ring, with no room to retreat.
If ranged attacks didn’t work, then melee was the only option remaining.
Conveniently, the Magma Cerberus had broken out of its constraints, and under the order of [Killing Instruction], it pounced towards Su Yu.
Zode decided to kill or be killed in a desperate fight.
He put away his bow and arrow, took up his spear, and slid towards Su Yu’s position with a [Sliding Shove].
Su Yu noticed Zode and the Magma Cerberus getting closer, so he released [Frost Nova]. The tremendous ice ring exploded out from around him.
Zode used [Back Jump] to interrupt [Sliding Shove] and avoid [Frost Nova].
However, he still had a rush skill, a [Harpoon Stab], that brought him directly in front of Su Yu.
“Sorry.”
Su Yu’s calm voice resonated in Zode’s ear.
Before Zode even had time to cast a skill, a fireball the size of a washbasin had already smashed into his face.
The second-grade epic spell scroll [Flamestrike Skill]!
¯555!
The fire completely filled Zode’s vision, his entire body was sent flying by the massive fireball.
And while he was still in mid-air, without a foothold, Su Yu’s [Lightning Bolt] launched another attack.

The health bar of [Master-level Hunter Zode] emptied, he collapsed halfway.
“You… you’re not honoring the martial arts!”
At the last moment of his life, Zode, lying on the ground, cried out in grief.
If it had been about true strength, he would absolutely have been able to defeat this human being in front of him!
But who knew that this human’s scrolls were non-stop, and all of them were of the second grade! Who could withstand that?
“If there hadn’t been any scrolls…” Zode collapsed onto the ground, his thoughts stopping.
The Magma Cerberus, seeing its master dead, entered a frenzied rage.
Su Yu quickly used ice magic to cool it down, after casting several [Ice Arrows], it finally “cooled” down and went to join its master.
Having dealt with this pair of enemies, Su Yu quietly exhaled in relief.
Thankfully, the settings allowed him to use the scrolls even in his soul form, otherwise, this fight wouldn’t have been easy..
