Born Sacred-Chapter 90: Lightness

Noah discovered one of his shortcomings: a lack of methods to deal with flying units.

If it weren’t for those Tier 2 Thunder Eagles, thinking Noah was exhausted and carelessly not maintaining a sufficient safe altitude, Noah wouldn’t have been able to do anything to them, and thus wouldn’t have been able to clear it alone.

Flight ability was definitely not a loss; its scope of application was extremely wide, usable in most instances.

Having decided on one skill, for the last skill slot, Noah decided to choose a ranged attack skill to increase his means of attack while flying.

Shooting skills would be good; that way, Noah could also bring some high-tech weapons into the instance. Of course, what Noah was hoping for were legendary ranged attack skills like Sword Control, which were both flashy and practical, and didn’t rely on guns and ammunition. Unfortunately, the style of the latter didn’t quite fit with the National awakening, purely Noah’s fantasy.

Shaking his head, Noah opened the transaction center of the Extraordinary Forum, preparing to see if there were any skills that met his requirements. If not, he would check the official treasury. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Whether it was a flight skill or a more advanced ranged attack skill, Noah didn’t expect to obtain them directly.

It wasn’t realistic.

Their quality was likely Rare grade or above. Only a few people had skills of this quality; others had no means of obtaining them.

Let alone Rare grade, the probability of Excellent grade skills appearing in the transaction center was also extremely low.

When they occasionally appeared, they were either sold immediately or listed at an exorbitant price, showing no genuine intention to sell.

Noah didn’t expect to find a bargain either. Anyway, with his Talent, quality didn’t matter at all, as long as there was a possibility for the skill’s breakthrough direction.

After some filtering, Noah took interest in a skill.

[Lightness]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Type: Active Skill]

[After use, your body becomes light and agile, allowing you to briefly stay airborne]

This skill was listed there, nobody inquiring about it.

It didn’t add combat power, merely made the body agile and allowed brief hovering, which wasn’t very attractive to Awakeners.

Of course, if it could be bought with money, someone would definitely be willing to bid. After all, it was still a skill with the highest value. However, the seller requested bartering and didn’t value real-world currency at all.

As time passed, the purchasing power of real-world currency further declined. Awakeners were more willing to barter or use attribute crystals as currency.

What Noah took interest in was the Lightness skill’s hovering ability. Currently, it was only Ordinary grade, naturally inconspicuous, but after it broke through to Excellent grade or Rare grade, it might evolve into flight ability. Even if a deep breakthrough resulted in flight ability that wasn’t satisfactory, Noah could choose a broad breakthrough to develop its flight ability.

He sent a message to the seller.

The seller wasn’t in an instance and quickly saw the message. Seeing that it was Noah who sent him a message, he even thought he was mistaken or that it was a high-imitation account.

Upon confirming it was correct, he immediately became extremely excited.

This was Great God Noah, a legendary figure! He hadn’t expected that he would actually have the chance to interact with him.

Noah was a bit unaccustomed to the other party’s enthusiasm and directly stated his purpose.

Upon learning that Noah wanted to buy the Lightness skill, the seller didn’t suspect anything. He didn’t think Noah was buying it for himself, only that he wanted to give it to someone else. He immediately decided to give it to Noah to thank him for his kindness.

This seller was from Starfall Country, a First Order Awakener. In the two National Rewards, he had gained 210 total attributes, greatly increasing his strength, and was extremely grateful to Noah.

Noah naturally wasn’t willing to take advantage like this. After some back and forth, he exchanged a skill he didn’t need, an Ordinary grade skill, for this skill book.

The Trading Center is set up by the various countries on Blue Star, and it doesn’t have remote trading capabilities, but there is a trading function on the attribute panel; as long as you are friends with the other party, you can trade across space even if you are far away.

After finishing this trade, Noah had a bit of a headache.

He also personally experienced his status in the hearts of the Starfall Country Awakeners; at least the vast majority of Starfall Country people were grateful to him.

In reality, they were still a bit reserved, but online, they were too enthusiastic.

Taking benefits for free wasn’t Noah’s style, and if he encountered Awakeners from other countries who inflated prices, it would be unpleasant.

For subsequent purchases, he decided to entrust Rose or He Yuqing to handle them.

Noah took out the Lightness skill and chose to learn it.

Countless memories of practicing the skill flooded into his mind, and Noah quickly adapted.

"Lightness."

After using the skill, Noah found that his body had indeed become lighter and more agile.

With a light leap, his body stayed in the air for about three seconds before starting to descend.

It was an Ordinary level skill, nothing outstanding.

After a brief attempt, Noah stopped paying attention and quietly waited for his Talent to upgrade its level.

Compared to the generally useful mid-air suspension, remote attack skills were undoubtedly much more popular.

Furthermore, there were very few skills sold in the Trading Center to begin with.

Noah looked around but couldn’t find a suitable skill.

So, Noah contacted Rose again and stated his needs.

"I thought you were preparing to withdraw the official rewards," Rose said with a smile.

"I’m not in a hurry about that; I can wait a bit longer."

Noah hadn’t forgotten that the rewards promised by the officials could be redeemed at any time.
