Taming Master Chapter 581 – Crisis to Opportunity Chapter 3

Chapter 581: Crisis to Opportunity 3

The item that Ian made in Tiver’s Forge wasn’t just the Celestial Dragon Warlord Orb.

The best pieces of equipment made with each part of the weapon were combined into one.

Of course, all other items had a lower performance than the Orb, but it wasn’t comparable to the first one.

Once all of his equipment had been equipped, Ian’s combat power became stronger than ever.

That was a bit of an exaggeration though since their specs were just 70 percent of the original equipment.

If he went back to the Dimensional Mirror with the current specs, Ian might really be able to fly.

So where was Ian heading to after making satisfactory specs?

“Battle Training Camp… However, do I still have to make a growth?”

Ian hastily went to the ‘Battle Center’ coordinates.

After being stuck in the smith, Ian was surprised when he heard that a ‘Battle Center’ was created.

And it wasn’t that Ian was there because he didn’t know of the training center.

Surely, he wasn’t aware at first, but Mark Oliver, who had found the center, told Ian through a personal message.

However, Ian at that time had already selected the option of ‘item production’ in the smith, which turned him a bit impatient.

Ian recalled the conversation he had with Mark Oliver.

Mark Oliver: Ian, where are you?

Ian: I’m setting up equipment in the forge… What is wrong?

Mark Oliver: I’m in the south of the village with Lichao right now, and I discovered a new content called the ‘Battle Center’.

Ian: Oh oh, really? I never saw that even after exploring the whole village.

Mark Oliver: Me too, I think the building was created just recently.

Ian: By the way, why would you share this advanced information with me…? I’m not sure if I can be of any help to you.

Mark Oliver: Hahaha, as you might have already noticed, the content of the Warrior’s Village is a composition that opposes the Devil. Maybe the ones in the same faction need to help each other in order to win.

‘That Oliver guy, is a real character.’

Impressed with Mark Oliver’s message, Ian was feeling like repaying him with one or two pieces of equipment.

“Let’s see… I think this is about it.”

Ian went south to the vacant lot of the village. There was a building there that he had never seen before.

Ian smiled as he moved toward the entrance.

Tring-!

[You have entered the ‘Battle Center’.]

[Since you’re a ‘Recruit’, you can enter the B grade difficulty training room.]

Ian, who went inside the training center, looked around.

The first thing he looked for was Mark Oliver and Lichao.

However, the two couldn’t be seen anywhere.

‘Hmm, I guess the training is done individually.’

Ian shook his head as he once again thought about the information that Oliver had given him.

According to Oliver, the training center could supposedly raise one’s ‘special ability’.

Mark Oliver: We need to find out more, but I think we have to practice some ‘special ability’ in here.

Ian: Special ability…? What is that?

Mark Oliver: I think it is a new kind of stat that has never been seen in Kailan before. I just entered, and I don’t know anything yet. Perhaps we’ll find it at the end of the battle practice…

‘He hasn’t contacted me yet. Oliver doesn’t seem to have finished his training yet…’

When he found room B’s door in the training center, Ian smiled.

There was only one day left before the event was over.

In the meantime, if only the content of the combat training would be advanced enough to satisfy Ian, then he might be able to get a lot of public value.

‘The special ability stats seem a bit nice, isn’t it?’

Ian stepped into the door without hesitation.

Ian’s form was caught by a blue light and was sucked in somewhere.

* * *

Creating a new piece of content in Kailan wasn’t easy.

Overnight work didn’t mean that it could be finished.

For that very reason, Na Ji-chan and the other planning teams decided to open the content by modifying the previously scheduled contents.

That was the ‘Battle Center’ and ‘special ability’.

Originally, it was intended for the content to be released once the users reached the elite ranks.

When Ian including the other two with him had the content cut off, they opened it quickly for them, creating the same content with a lower level of difficulty than the original one.

It was virtually impossible to add new content to raise the public values in the village, so it would provide a way to catch up with the later public values much faster.

Of course, the existing main content of the users wouldn’t be able to use the Battle Centers.

However, in their case, it was only a matter of time for the trio to get back what they lost.

During the main quest, they weren’t able to enter the training center.

And just before the exhausting work was done, Na Ji-chan said, “Hu, this should be good enough… The trio might be able to extract more than what they have lost.”

Just as Na Ji-chan said, the content of the ‘Battle Center’ was in many ways better than what Ian was expecting.

First, the difficulty of the training center.

It wasn’t that hard for Ian, but looking at the difficulty, quite a few users weren’t able to complete it with a single try.

‘Surely, I did the right thing when I decided to invest time in equipment first.’

Perhaps, if it wasn’t for the equipment that Ian had made, he might have had to spend more time there.

Second, the special ability was a reward from the training camp.

[You have successfully completed the first training course.]

[Cleared the training room difficulty B, you are now qualified to challenge C difficulty.]

[You can now choose a Brave ability.]

[Warrior Ability, an ability that works only in the ‘Brave Canyon’.]

[After being promoted to the ‘Brave’ rank, all of your Brave Abilities will be reset, and you will be allowed to choose more powerful ones.]

[You can open up to two Brave Abilities. Please choose carefully.]

[Talk to ‘Remit’, the battle instructor of the Battle Center, to reset all of your warrior stats.]

The special abilities were called ‘Brave Abilities’. They were much more diverse and interesting than Ian had expected.

– Brave Ability

A. Valor

As the ‘Valor’ ability increases, the ‘attack’ ability of the warrior increases significantly. But in proportion, the ‘defense’ stat will be lowered slightly.

(Check Details)

B. Indomitable

As the ‘Indomitable’ stats increases, the brave ‘defense’ ability increases significantly.

But in proportion, the ‘Agility’ stats will drop.

(Check Details)

(Check Details)

After completing the first training. There were over twenty kinds of special abilities that appeared in front of Ian.

Because of that, Ian wasn’t sure what he wanted to pick.

‘There is… a lot of them.’

There were many kinds of ‘Brave Abilities’. However, there was one thing that these abilities were similar in.

That was to strengthen one stat and in exchange, downgrade another.

For that reason, a user that was selecting a special ability had to choose a stat that went well with his or her play style.

‘I need to see it, Valor and Will. And the Explosive Force. Expertise and Runaway too…’

Ian recalled his usual combat style and compared each of them to the abilities.

However, with every comparison, he started to like each one.

‘I’ll have to see which one is the most efficient one for me.’

Ian started to look at each of the stat and started to analyze the efficiency of each one.

It took quite a lot of time, but he thought it was worth it.

‘Well, Valor isn’t so bad, but after all, it won’t be as efficient as the Explosive Force.’

Rare stats increase the attack power, and explosive stats increase skill damage.

If Ian was a warrior or an archer, or before using the magic of the spirits, he would have opted for Valor instead of Explosive Force.

Rather than the attack factor, it was more helpful to have a higher DPS.

But Ian had a great magic skill as of the moment called the ‘Infernal Fire’ and the best spirit ‘Magbi’.

In a situation where Fire was being used as a normal attack, skill damage was more efficient than attack power.

‘Kay, the only ones left to compare each other with are Explosive Force and Expertise.’

In the case of Expertise’s stats, it greatly enhanced the career stats.

And for Ian, who uses spirit attack as his primary attack, this stat could be a minor stat.

The spirit magic’s damage affects the spirit spell, and it was a stat that boosted the summoning power needed by the spirit magic.

In addition, other occupation stats such as leadership and affinity would be helpful to manage other summons.

However, unlike the other ones that just downgraded one stat, this one downgraded one’s whole combat stat.

‘Attack, defense, agility, and vitality, etc. The overall combat was a big risk, but…’

Ian was carefully analyzing Explosive force and Expertise’s stats.

And the result…

“Well. I’ll take ‘Expertise’ as the first special ability.”

With hesitation, Ian chose the ‘Expertise’ stat.

A new system message appeared in Ian’s mind.

Tring-!

[You have opened the Brave Ability ‘Expertise’.]

[’20’ expertise has been given by default.]

[All career stats increased by 10 percent.]

[All combat stats reduced by 5%.]

[Users can practice their Brave Abilities by using it repeatedly in the Training Center.]

[Once the first Brave Ability has been trained up to 100, the second warrior ability will be unlocked. (A Brave Ability can be trained up to 100.)]

Ian’s head began to work once again.

‘I don’t know how long it will take for the special ability to reach 100… but maybe it won’t be long.’

Special ability stats could only be used in the Brave Canyon.

Moreover, given that the maximum could be initialized at any time, users didn’t need to spend a lot of time maximizing them.

‘After Expertise reach 100, the job will increase by 50 percent, and the combat will drop by 25 percent.’

Ian, who checked it all, left the training camp B level.

And with no hesitation, he went to room C that had a higher difficulty.

‘My equipment level is far from elite, but just a few more and I’ll be able to go to rank D.’

The higher the difficulty of the training center, the faster the special ability would rise.

Ian planned to practice the ‘Expertise’ stats as much as possible.

If he could make up to 100 points, then he would have the chance to get the ‘Explosive Force’ stat.

Tring-!

[Entering the room with difficulty C.]

Along with a small message, Ian’s shadow got sucked in.

While Ian was heating up in practice, the next morning came.
