Chapter 238 A High-Tier Job Delivered to the Door: [Ninja]
Tina stared intently at the girl opposite her, her emerald green hair framing an expressionless face. She didn't look very old.
Her cold eyes and unrestrained attack style made it clear that she didn't care about the surrounding civilians. This, coupled with the fact that she was a Demi-human, made sense.
"This one!"
Tina glanced out of the corner of her eye at the stalls that had been destroyed around them. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
*Vine Entanglement!*
Gulu Gulu—the floor beneath her feet cracked.
Green vines rapidly grew, forming a net around Tina, then writhed and quickly tightened, trying to envelop her.
Swish! Tina's eyes flashed. Her right hand moved to her waist, drawing a sharp Dagger with blood-coloredpatterns. She spun rapidly, slashing around herself.
Kacha Kacha Kacha! The tightening green vines were quickly cut apart by the sharp Dagger, turning into broken, tiny branches that scattered in the air.
Tina leaped into the air, somersaulted, and nimbly jumped out of the vine encirclement, landing steadily on the ground.
"That's enough. I don't have any hostility," Tina said coldly, her gaze passing over the Emerald Witch to a blonde girl behind her.
That ordinary-looking girl was Anri, another member of "Free Will."
How unlucky!
Tina cursed inwardly.
With her skills, it would be difficult for even some powerful Adventurers to detect her tailing them, let alone ordinary people.
But she had been discovered by the Emerald Witch.
Not because of Magic, but pure sensory ability.
In the language of Thieves and Assassins, it would be called "Danger Perception," a very important ability for such professionals.
Because anyone without this ability couldn't be called a qualified Thief or Assassin.
There were generally two ways to master this skill: one was through training and long battles to slowly develop a sense of danger; the other was to be born with a keen sixth sense. Demi-humans happened to have an advantage over humans in this regard.
The "Free Will" Adventurer team actually has a Demi-human member?
The Emerald Witch had disguised herself with a Magic Item, but it was impossible to completely fool some experts when she took action.
Tina was a little surprised.
It was rare for an Adventurer team to have a Demi-human. It was said that there was a Demi-human member in the Adamantite Rank Adventurer team "Silver Thread Bird" of the Empire.
This was because the Empire's ideology was relatively open, while Demi-humans were generally unpopular in the Kingdom.
Of course.
This wasn't the most surprising thing to Tina, because according to the information she had gathered, the leader of "Free Will" was a Genius Alchemist who liked to use the blood of Demi-humans to make Alchemy Potions.
Such a person shouldn't have any good feelings towards Demi-humans.
The Emerald Witch still looked coldly at Tina. She wasn't human, so she naturally didn't care about some of the rules and restrictions of humans.
The only thing that could make her obey orders was her master.
The human in front of her made the Emerald Witch feel threatened, so she had launched an attack without hesitation.
"Emerald Witch, she doesn't seem to be hostile," Anri said nervously, clutching the hem of her clothes, seeing the two deadlocked.
The commotion from the Magic was too great.
This was the Royal Capital, and there should be many powerful figures and nobles.
Anri felt that if this continued, the guards would arrest them, and she was also worried that it would bring trouble to Tang Zheng.
"Shut up."
The Emerald Witch said coldly without turning her head, the magical light on her hands flickering slightly, seemingly without any intention of stopping.
She didn't release Magic again at the moment! It was because the Emerald Witch sensed Tang Zheng's arrival, and she was waiting for her master's orders.
However.
After waiting for a short while, the Emerald Witch realized that her master was not showing up, and immediately understood that Tang Zheng had no intention of stopping her from continuing her attack.
In that case—
"Corruption Destruction!" The Emerald Witch's lips curled into a sneer as she looked at Tina opposite her and waved her hands.
A mass of sour, rotten liquid exuding a strong corrosive odor instantly condensed in mid-air like raindrops, scattering towards Tina in front.
Whoosh! The corrosive liquid streaked through the air, spreading out in mid-air to form a magical attack that was not easy to dodge.
Tina's already expressionless face turned completely cold when she saw that the Emerald Witch was still continuing her attack.
"Arrogant fellow."
"This is not a place where you can run wild. Since that's the case, then I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your leader."
Tina snorted coldly, and the ground beneath her feet shook.
In an instant! Tina transformed into a black afterimage, rushing out from her original position. Facing the corrosive liquid crashing down, her speed soared.
At the moment when the magical attack was about to land, she had already left her original position a step ahead of time, sprinting towards the Emerald Witch at an extremely fast speed.
Facing a Magic Caster, widening the distance was not a good choice. The reason she had widened the distance before was because she didn't want to fight, but since the other party insisted on fighting.
Tina naturally wouldn't hold back.
"Meeting me is your bad luck!"
Tina reached out and placed her hand in front of her chest, making a unique gesture, intending to win directly with overwhelming advantage. As long as she approached the Magic Caster, the other party would lose: "Ninjutsu: Shadow Lurk!"
Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, Tina transformed into a shadow and disappeared into thin air, reappearing in the Emerald Witch's shadow.
The golden ponytail emerged from the shadow first, followed by the entire figure rising from the shadow.
The dagger with red blood-silk patterns in Tina's hand swung, stabbing towards the Emerald Witch's neck.
So fast!
A look of surprise appeared on the Emerald Witch's face. This annoying human woman opposite her was completely different from the human experts she had encountered before.
What kind of magic is this? "Magic Armor!"
Relying on her excellent ability to sense danger, the Emerald Witch quickly activated her magical defense.
Clang! A translucent magical luster flickered around her body, forming a set of armor condensed with magic, blocking the dagger's attack and emitting a crisp collision sound.
At this moment.
In a house about a hundred meters away on this street.
Tang Zheng leaned against the window, holding a soft piece of bread in his hand, calmly watching the two fighting figures on the street.
And within this surrounding area, a large number of chaotic crowds were gathering.
After the merchants and civilians who were originally on the street left the location of the Emerald Witch and Tina in fright, they stayed nearby, all looking towards the two figures.
Obviously, no matter which world, watching the excitement is human nature.
Such a big commotion naturally attracted many Adventurers from the surrounding area, and even more civilians gathered.
For a time, this area was blocked very seriously.
"Red headband, it should be Tina."
Tang Zheng watched the location of the battle, his eyes moved.
Tia and Tina looked very similar, and the way to quickly distinguish the two was to rely on the color of the headband.
"An unexpected surprise, I was originally thinking about how to obtain the [Ninja] High-Tier Job, but I didn't expect it to be delivered to my door."
A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face.
Buzz—
The attribute panel appeared in front of Tang Zheng.
『Discovered Skill "Ninjutsu: Shadow Lurk", requires High-Tier Job [Ninja], current conditions not met, requires 3 Skill Points』
『No prior Intermediate Job, conditions not met, requires 6 Skill Points』
『No Basic Job, conditions not met...』
『"Genius" Job activated, already possesses the Basic Job "Thief", conditions for learning met!』
『Consume 6 Skill Points to learn this skill?』
Seeing the information refreshed on the panel, a bright smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face.
He raised his head.
Looking at the scene where the Emerald Witch was once again forcing Tina back.
"I wonder if taking this Job will cause a commotion, looks like I need to leave for a bit first." Tang Zheng placed the half-eaten white bread on the plate on the windowsill and chanted softly, "Teleport!"
Whoosh! The air briefly distorted, and Tang Zheng's figure instantly disappeared, reappearing in the Lava Zone.
The crimson light of the lava came into view.
This was deep within the Lava Zone, so even if there was a commotion, he wouldn't have to worry about being detected.
"Learn!"
Tang Zheng stared at the stats panel, his mind made up.
Skill Points: 71 → 65
As the skill Ninjutsu: Shadow Lurk was mastered, the Job information on the stats panel blurred briefly, and then a High-Tier Job appeared on the panel.
Buzz! The shadow beneath Tang Zheng's feet twisted slightly, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, but it faded away instantly, along with his own aura, which weakened slightly.
It was as if he had concealed the fluctuations of his own aura! ...
Job: Ninja
Level: High-Tier Job
Ability Effects:
Passive - "Additional System - Ninjutsu": You have constantly practiced your skills and finally mastered techniques unique to the Ninja Job - Ninjutsu.
"Aura Concealment Specialization": More adept at concealing one's own aura and detecting hidden enemies, all concealment-related skills and techniques are enhanced, making it harder to be detected and discovered.
"Agile Movement": Flexible limbs make your movements very agile, additionally increasing Agility by 60 points, cannot wear heavy armor, otherwise the increased value is invalid and reduces your own Agility.
"Shadow Affinity": Ninjas are naturally adapted to dark environments, gaining 20% Dark Attribute Resistance, and gaining certain bonuses when moving in the dark.

Introduction: Is a Shadow Hunter, is a Silent One, is a Shadow Assassin, is an Infiltrator, is an Assassination Master, so, tell me your enemy, friend.
...
Tang Zheng quickly scanned the information about the Ninja Job on the stats panel, his eyes lighting up slightly.
The overall strength of the Job didn't seem very high, and it was clearly inferior to the Cursed Knight, but stronger than a typical Advanced Job like the Magic Swordsman.
"Teleport!"
Tang Zheng wasn't in a hurry to examine the Ninja Job's information in detail, and quickly returned using Magic again.
Whoosh! The scenery changed.
The surrounding environment returned to the windowsill where he had been.
Tang Zheng reached out and continued to pick up the remaining half of the white bread and eat it, lifting his chin slightly to look at the two figures not far away on the street.
The battle between the Emerald Witch and Tina was still ongoing, after all, Tang Zheng's teleportation back and forth, plus the time it took to take the Job, was only about ten seconds.
"Tsk, her movements are really agile, why doesn't she use more Ninjutsu skills? She can't take down the Emerald Witch with just close combat."
Tang Zheng looked at Tina's agile attacks and commented to himself.
Tang Zheng estimated that the level difference between the Emerald Witch and Tina shouldn't be too great, but the Emerald Witch was a Demi-human and had a unique perception ability, so she would be difficult to defeat completely.
Tina couldn't do it without using her full strength.
It was fortunate that this wasn't a forest environment, otherwise, the Emerald Witch's strength would be even greater.
The Ninja Job was now in hand.
Tang Zheng had no intention of letting the Emerald Witch stop, because he still wanted to gain skills from the Sage Arts System as much as possible through the battle between them.
Buzz—
The stat panel appeared before his eyes.
Tang Zheng watched the battle opposite him while studying the information of the Job he had just obtained.
Four passive skills: 'Additional System·Ninjutsu', 'Concealed Presence Specialization', 'Agile Movement', and 'Shadow Affinity'.
None of them were powerful passive skills, but they were still worth noting.
The abilities of the latter two passives were the clearest. 'Agile Movement' increased Agility by 60 points, but there was a Job penalty of not being able to wear heavy equipment.
Compared to the penalty of the Cursed Knight Job, it was nothing. Tang Zheng didn't need to wear heavy equipment anyway; his main equipment was currently Flesh Armament.
The information for 'Shadow Affinity' was also very clear.
Only 'Additional System·Ninjutsu' and 'Concealed Presence Specialization' caught his attention. These two passives were also the core of the Ninja Job.
"Concealed Presence... it seems, it can shield a portion of Magic perception." Tang Zheng somewhat awkwardly controlled his own aura, realizing that this was a very useful skill.
He had been worried that the aura fluctuations caused by his high level would be perceived, and the appearance of this ability came just in time.
On the street.
The Emerald Witch looked unsightly. Her attack Magic could not hit the agile Tina and she was forced to defend.
She hadn't forgotten that her master was still watching.
"Darkness!"
The Emerald Witch raised her hand and waved.
In an instant, the light in the entire area was quickly stripped away, as if a cloud of black mist enveloped the area.
The Emerald Witch raised her foot, preparing to leave the spot.
But the next moment! A light golden ray flew out of the Darkness and landed on the Emerald Witch, causing her to freeze in place, unable to move.
"Ninjutsu: Immobile Binding Technique!"
"This is... damn it!"
"Ninjutsu: Detection!"
Tina used Ninjutsu: Immobile Binding Technique to restrict the Emerald Witch's movement the moment before the surrounding environment was enveloped in Darkness.
Immediately after!
She activated the Detection Ninjutsu to determine that there were no other means of attack in the Darkness. After confirming the Emerald Witch's position again, she rushed over.
In the current dark environment, Tina's speed became even faster.
By the window.
"A wrong move."
Tang Zheng couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the Emerald Witch release the Darkness Magic.
He glanced at the skill information that appeared on the stat panel, and without hesitation, consumed Skill Points to learn.
Skill Points: 65 → 68 → 66
In just a moment, he had mastered three Ninjutsu skills.
'Ninjutsu: Shadow Lurk': Short-distance movement between shadows.
'Ninjutsu: Immobile Binding Technique': Prevents the opponent from moving.
'Ninjutsu: Detection': Senses hidden presences in the surroundings, and can also sense the opponent's strength.
Tang Zheng smiled lightly. What really interested him about the Ninja Job was the Ninjutsu series of skills.
In the YGGDRASIL game, in addition to the normal Magic system, there were also other systems, such as the Sage Arts System, the Forbidden Arts System, and the Yin Yang Arts System.
These different systems were related to Job construction, so they had unique effects different from Magic.
Among them, the Ninjutsu system did not have the distinction of Magic tiers. Some Ninjutsu increased in strength based on the amount of Mana consumed.
