Hu Siming's own two cards, the dawn card from Shi Niu, and the dark blue card from Su Xishui, constitute the entire dark night series of four-piece sets.

Once you've got them, they'll randomly merge into a high-tier card!

Compared to the basic four-piece set, there are a few more types of higher-level cards. The effect is more powerful, the cooldown is shortened, and it is also non-blue-draining. These are all advantages of higher-ranking cards, but there is also a downside that the public CD of higher-ranking cards has become longer.

In the past, Hu Siming had four cards in his hand, and after using one card, he only needed to wait for a public CD for a maximum of ten seconds, and he could immediately use any other card. The public CD of the higher-tier cards is longer, which means that even if there are multiple higher-ranking cards, only one can be used in a short battle.

This is, of course, a relatively strict limitation, but it doesn't affect the value of higher-tier cards.

Because the result of the fusion was random, Hu Siming had to pray to make his luck as red as possible, and then he stacked the four lilac cards together and started the fusion process.

The bewitching purple light lit up violently.

The laws sealed in the four cards are drawn one by one and finally merged into one card. Probably because of the principal's hand, the card fusion process was faster than expected. In just two or three seconds, a purple card of the same size as before, but with a more noble and delicate material, appeared on his face. Mysterious runes are inscribed on the white edge of the card, making it look even more extraordinary.

[Night Card: Flash]

One of the top cards in the Dark Night set.

When activated, instantly moves 650 distance in the direction directly ahead. After flashing, some of the original negative status effects (if any), such as slow and bind, will be cleared.

The user does not consume mana per se, but it takes 60 seconds to recharge the card after it is activated.

Note: The headmaster's gizmo zuò actually used the name Dark Moon Card at one time......

"Flash card!"

Hu Siming whistled, and there was surprise on his face that could not be concealed.

This high-ranking card looks a bit like the original Hero Charge skill. Although it has a long cooldown and the flash displacement is not as good as the heroic charge after the advancement, it is only a card after all, and it does not need to occupy a free skill slot, and it can be used in a silent state. In addition, the bonus of this flash card is that it can clear some of the negative status after flashing. With such a means of attacking and retreating, Hu Siming's mobility and survivability will undoubtedly be enhanced again!

After trying to use it for a while, Hu Siming had a direct understanding of this skill.

The effect of the flash card is very similar to the flash, which is instantaneous at the destination. If you charge bravely, you can rush out of 800 and the speed is very fast, but it will take a little time after all. Although it is limited to flashing straight ahead, and it stops when it encounters obstacles, its purpose is unquestionable.

"One more means......"

After putting away the flash card with satisfaction, Hu Siming ordered some food at random in his suite, then looked at the timetable and began to prepare for the second unified examination in December.

Hero students are free to decide whether to take the compulsory course or not, but the unified examination is still mandatory. Although there is a saying for "leave", the conditions are very harsh. The unified examination itself has rich rewards, a book of knowledge with high evaluations and attributes, and Hu Siming naturally has no reason to refuse.

In view of the fact that this is the first battle after becoming a hero, Hu Siming still put a lot of effort into winning a good fortune.

The flash card that has just been synthesized is one of the preparations for the second unified examination.

The second is his skills.

After the graduate school entrance examination is successful, all the three large and small skills are lv1. Although Hu Siming has also trained himself these days, he relies on the training to improve his training, and if he wants to upgrade, he doesn't know that it will be the Year of the Monkey. Therefore, the quickest way to do this is to invest Skill XP in it. The previously forgotten advanced skills and abandoned soul stones, and the converted skill experience, Hu Siming still has useless skills.

Now, it's time to decide on skill boosts.

The first one he decided to promote was the Flame Shield!

In the early stage, Hu Siming's physical attack was not so sufficient, and before the Mad Battle Axe, it was not enough to rely on the 10% splash of the Sword of Flame Proverbs, and the group damage. The constant scorching of the Flame Shield compensates for the lack of output and increases survivability. Moreover, the Flame Shield of Lv1 can only absorb 50 magic damage, which is too easy to break. Don't say it's a hero, even elite students can easily use this skill.

However, the growth of the fire cover is excellent.

As long as you increase one level, the damage absorbed by the fire shield can be increased to 200 points, and if you reach lv3, you can absorb 350 points!

After investing a large amount of skill experience, the Flame Cover was the first to be upgraded.

Lv2's Flame Shield, the effect becomes: 40 burn damage per second, for a maximum of 12 seconds, and a total of 200 magic damage can be absorbed from the enemy. The mana consumed is slightly increased from level 1 to 90 mana.

Compared to the first level, this number jù is already considerable.

The skill experience required to upgrade skills is very considerable, and after Hu Siming piled the fire cover to lv2, he has spent nearly forty percent of his skill experience points. The remaining amount is no longer enough for him to continue to upgrade his lv2 skills. In other words, Hu Siming could only level up one more level of other skills.

Flame Sun Rope or Shadowless Fist?

As the core skill of the Ash Spirit, the Shadowless Fist must be added by the master. After the upgrade, not only the attack range and additional attack power have been increased, but the cooldown time has been greatly reduced, from 30 seconds at lv1 to 6 seconds at lv4. However, it is also very useful when upgraded.

The Flame Sun Rope of Lv1 is bound for only 1 second!

Hu Siming only needs to raise it to lv2, and the binding time can be increased to 2 seconds. Then it will go all the way up to lv4 before it will increase to the final 3 seconds.

From this point of view, it is the best choice to first upgrade the Flame Sun Rope to level 2, and then put it aside, and turn back to the main force to ascend the Shadowless Fist and the Flame Cover!

Thinking like this, Hu Siming made a decision.

The rest of the skills and experience were put into the deduction of Yanyang Suo by him.

Lv2, the effect becomes: bind 2 random targets around you for 2 seconds, dealing 80 damage per second. The mana cost of this skill is fixed and does not change with the level. However, the cooldown has been reduced from 14 seconds to 12 seconds.

In this way, when Hu Siming joins the battle, he will have a level 2 Flame Sun Rope, a level 1 Shadowless Fist, and a level 2 Fire Cover skill!

Although the level is still Hero Lv1, it is already a skill at level 5 when converted to a compulsory course.

As for the equipment, although Hu Siming received a large amount of contribution from the Libra headquarters for free, he could only say that the contribution required for Huàn hero equipment was higher. Moreover, Hu Siming has phases, gold points, and poor ghost shields, and he is no longer so eager for basic hero equipment. He was going to save this contribution first, keep it for a healing ring, and then synthesize a tenacity ball!

As for whether the Fortitude Ball will further synthesize the Lincoln Orb or make the Battle Axe first, he has not yet made up his mind.

But it must be one of the two, and I didn't run away!

In this kind of dedicated preparation, the time officially entered December. But before the timetable for the unified examination was sent, Hu Siming, who was a hero, received an urgent task from the academy.

【Rescue Mission】

The difficulty is unknown.

A mapping team composed of the academy's black-armored elites was attacked by flying monsters on their way back from completing the mission, and the goblin airship they were riding crashed. A member of the mapping team, trapped in Raven Ridge, a forbidden place on the edge of the Western Wilderness. Five pseudo-heroes/hero trainees are now summoned and go to Raven Ridge to rescue the trainees of the surveying and mapping team.

Quest Reward: Depending on the difficulty, you will be given universal points, items, or some low-level hero equipment.

Acceptable?

Below the task, there is also a statistic for responding to the task. In the first few seconds, the number of tasks that have been received is 0/5, but soon, students have accepted this task one after another, but it does not seem to be enthusiastic.

The reason is simple.

Only five hero-level cadets were summoned, proving that it should not be a big scene. In rescue missions, where the target is in a forbidden place, this type of mission is often tricky. What's more, the description of the rescue mission directly mentions "difficulty unknown", proving that even the academy that issued the mission is not sure of the situation.

The rewards are average, but the risks are very high, and the powerful hero class students naturally don't care very much.

If it is a huge elite group, there are naturally countless students who want to fight and seize the opportunity to compete for qualifications. But those who can become heroes, even pseudo-heroes, are not as poor as a few poor ones, and they begin to think more about the difficulty of the task and the comprehensive income.

Similar tasks are actually quite common. The academy's stall in the New World is so big, it's normal for something to happen. Hu Siming can actually go away at all, with his strength, he is considered the top among the new heroes. But after hesitating for a few seconds, seeing that there was still a place in the end, Hu Siming chose to respond. The reward or something is secondary, he is ready to take this opportunity to hone his strength, and by the way, he will deal with other hero trainees and familiarize himself with the average level of the hero class.

After all, in two or three days, it will be the unified exam, and if you don't do it well, you will have to compete head-on with the heroes of Dire. If this battle is more of a foreshadowing, his performance in the unified examination will be better.

"Take on an emergency rescue mission!"

"Please arrive at the Radiance Teleportation Array within a quarter of an hour!"

The task is still quite urgent, but Hu Siming has prepared for the unified examination before, and although it has been replaced by a temporary task at this moment, it does not affect it. After saying hello to his teammates, he took the time to calmly come to the Radiance Teleportation Array. At this time, three people had already arrived in advance, and they were discussing the task in a whisper from a distance.

Among these three people, there are two pseudo-heroes, and their strength and aura are obviously weaker by one order.

In addition, there is an all-round knight with an old qualification, who is relatively strong, and wears two exclusive sets of rare level. His face looked a little stern, and after confirming that Hu Siming was a real hero and not a pseudo-hero like the other two, the Almighty Knight's expression relaxed a little.
