Chapter 615
These new assassins quickly used the skills from their memories . Combining that with their first step of learning concentrated observation skills, they started to monitor their surroundings more carefully, taking note of each person’s movements including their postures, blinking, and shifts of their attention .
Of course, it was a tutorial for beginners and thus had lower standards . In this tutorial, it was acceptable if the passersby only saw a flash of a white shadow and weren’t disturbed .
Obviously, this step was much more difficult than the previous one . However, Su Tianji was indeed smart and passed it after trying several times . “Haha! I did it!”
At this moment, she heard the game prompt: [Basic profile – high/low profile]
In the original game, using high-profile would make it easy for the players to gain momentum but would also attract attention . In this profile, they might not be able to instantly kill their targets with their hidden blades and had to engage a in hand-to-hand combat, exposing themselves in public and in danger . In contrast, the low-profile was more secretive and would be less likely to be discovered .
However, in the real world, would people only see a person when he walked in high profile and turn a blind eye to a person walking in a low-profile?
The answer was negative .
As everyone knew, most veteran soldiers would acquire a sharp intuition to danger . The assassins lived in a chaotic time, which meant that people in this world had experienced many years of war and danger, and the bosses in the game wouldn’t just stand there dumbly, waiting to be killed .
Sometimes, they could even dodge an attack without using their eyes .
Now that the players had synchronized with the basic skill of visual deception, they must synchronize the basic skill of sense deception and detection .
At this moment, the players faced a soldier and were required to walk over directly and toss him into the gene sequences before them .
They must show no murderous spirit or hostility . Standing on the edge of the soldier’s vision, they must adjust their presence and other things to merge into the surroundings, giving the soldier the impression that they were only a harmless passersby, a stone, or a wall .
Even grand cultivators and warriors wouldn’t pay attention to such people and things, let alone an ordinary soldier .
Soon, the audience watching the livestreams saw that Su Tianji controlled the main character to walk up to the soldier, who looked like a blind person, and grab the latter before tossing him into the gene sequences .
The synchronization was finished .
“Awesome!”
“F*cking superb…”
Many people watched the scene with widened eyes .
This visual effect stunned them .
The high-profile meant that one must use their strength perfectly and achieve 200 percent the effects with only 100 percent the strength . Of course, in the tutorial, the players only needed to outrun one soldier of similar physique and reach the circle of gene sequences to finish this step .
By now, Su Tianji had come to the last step in synchronization . She needed to use the knowledge that she acquired and carry out a complete assassination .
Of course, she only needed to assassinate an ordinary soldier and get away from the scene under another solder’s pursuit .
With these synchronized skills, even a beginner would find assassinating one soldier quite easy .
Then, they encountered a scene similar to the one shown in the cinematic trailer of Assassin’s Creed .
A white-robed assassin ambled over, unsheathed his hidden blade, dodged the chase of the other soldiers, and vanished in the crowd .

As an ordinary swordswoman, Sala was still trying to understand these skills . But the real assassins such as Elina and Harrison understood them immediately .
How did they hide themselves normally? They would cast a spiritual spell that was like an energy cloak to stop others from seeing them and stop spiritual spells from detecting them .
Yes, the assassins in this world knew spiritual spells but used them in different areas than mages .
How did the Judgement Godly Palace block these assassination attempts? They used higher-level spiritual spells to spot the presence of the assassins by detecting the extra surges of energy .
They also used spiritual spells to cancel out the assassins’ stealth state and destroy the energy system .
In turn, the assassins had to find and create more powerful spiritual spells to avoid detection . The disguise method used by the shadow killer when he fought with Zong Wu was one of such spiritual spells .
Then, how did the Judgement Godly Palace deal with this spell?
They used godly spells . After all, there were few, if any, things that were even more powerful than godly spells .
As for the assassins, they had to find spiritual spells that could conceal them before godly spells .
However, human intelligence was no match for that of gods who had existed for countless years, which made it impossible for the assassins to win in this cycle of competition .
But now, the assassins seemed to see a glimpse of hope .
At this moment, Su Tianji continued to watch the cinematics of the game in which the main character Altair, who had great talent and became an Master Assassin in his twenties, botched a quest due to his arrogance . In the mission of retrieving the Piece of Eden from Solomon’s Temple, he violated three tenets of the assassin’s creed, which were killing an innocent old man, exposing himself, and leading the templar knights to the headquarters of assassins, endangering the brotherhood .

At this moment…
“Well! Now, I’ll demonstrate to you guys how a master assassin eliminates a target with a perfect assassination . ” Having finished the tutorial and a smooth assassination mission, Su Tianji was full of confidence .
“We must not repeat Altair’s mistakes,” Su Tianji said solemnly, “Now, let me demonstrate what a true master assassin does . ”
She looked quite professional .
At this moment, templar knights had killed their way into the village .
“Watch carefully . This templar knight is dressed luxuriously and must be a high-ranking knight . ” Su Tianji found one templar knight . “Now, we must adjust our position to the blind spot of his vision . ”
The audience watched attentively .
“Let’s walk toward him,” Su Tianji said, “Watch how I assassinate the target . ”
“This distance is good enough!” Su Tianji walked forward directly . Then, she leapt up high like a huge eagle sweeping down from the sky, striking her hidden blade toward the vital organ of the templar knight!
Ding! A sword light flashed . It parried and then turned in a twist .
She was instantly killed by a parry strike .
On her screen came the message, [Desynchronization]

Seeing the black-and-white image on the screen, Su Tianji was at a loss for words .
“Ahh-!” She was extremely frustrated .
[Awesome!]
[Master Assassin Elder Su . ]
[Instant kill with one sword strike! Unrivaled!]
[Awesome! Awesome!]
Bullet comments flooded the screen .
“No! How come the skills that I’ve learned are useless?!” Su Tianji yelled while slapping her hand on her thigh .
Calmly, the templar knight withdrew his sword .
You only passed the tutorial and want to show off your skills in front of me now?!
[Thanks to Song Qingfeng for 66 goose eggs; thanks to Mr . Fang for 99 goose eggs . ]
“Hehehehe…”
Su Tianji said, “It doesn’t count! It doesn’t count!”
“Oh… The mentor is calling us to make the leap of faith! Let’s switch!”
