It only recovers one point in ten seconds, meaning just six points a minute? That's a completely trash-tier passive Skill Book. It's a wonder anyone thinks highly of them.
Wang Gang didn't want to waste any more words. "Once we successfully change classes, we'll definitely go out to train. The school has special places prepared for us to do just that. When the time comes, will you go or not?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes."
For students to level up quickly, the school had designated training sites. Yan City itself had several such schools. There had to be at least several hundred people, and if they all gathered, there would be more people than monsters.
Apart from these, there were other places for training, such as the outskirts. However, the Warcraft in the outskirts were exceptionally strong, all possessing a certain level of intelligence, which made them extremely dangerous.
Jiang Chen knew that many capable students would have their clans protect them, with family members taking them out for training. It was just like a level twenty-something Priest leading newbies, casting Divine Light Protection and a skill that enhanced combat capability, causing their power to skyrocket.
If you wanted to improve your strength quickly, you could only train in the outskirts.
There were seven days left, and after that came the assessment. Major universities would be scouting for high-level students; the higher the level, the easier it was to enter a good university for advanced training. Beyond levels, they also considered one's class. Hidden classes were even more favored by higher education institutions.
This was just like getting into universities on Blue Star. If your scores were high, you could naturally enter Tsinghua or Peking University. If your scores were low, you'd end up in an ordinary college.
Finally, school was out.
Jiang Chen couldn't wait to rush home.
Murong Xue watched Jiang Chen's retreating figure with complex emotions.
"Jiang Chen is handsome, but it's a pity he's only a D-level Swordsman and can't compare to you at all, Murong Xue. You two are simply not from the same world."
Murong Xue's face flushed red. "What are you talking about? I wasn't looking at him."
"Come off it! The school beauty liking the school hunk—isn't that normal? If he were an A-grade Class, he'd be quite a match for you."
Murong Xue turned her head and rolled her eyes. "Nangong Xue, cut it out."
Nangong Xue chuckled. "Hit the nail on the head, didn't I? Or maybe I should just chase after him and lay it all out, ask him to marry into your clan?"
"Get lost!"
"Don't be mad, I was just saying. Even if you agreed, your parents wouldn't. You're a Light Archer, comparable to an S-grade Class. How could you settle for an ordinary person?"
The two chattered and joked.
"Xue'er, you're here too! Congratulations on becoming an Archer, and a Light Archer, a hidden class, at that!"
Murong Xue turned around and saw Zhao Guangqiang.
It was well-known throughout the school that Zhao Guangqiang liked Murong Xue, but she hardly spared him a glance.
Murong Xue responded coldly, "Xue'er? Is that what you think you can call me? We're not that close. Call me by my full name. My name is Murong Xue."
Zhao Guangqiang smiled. "I've now changed classes to become a Magic Swordsman. Just like you, I'm also A-grade, and I also possess a hidden class. If we team up, we could definitely get into a top-tier institution."
In Zhao Guangqiang's view, Murong Xue's previous indifference toward him was mainly because she hadn't yet awakened. But now things were different. Zhao Guangqiang had also awakened a hidden class and become a powerful Magic Swordsman. He believed he could win Murong Xue's favor.
"Team up? Not interested at all."
After saying that, Murong Xue turned and left, completely ignoring the visibly embarrassed Zhao Guangqiang.
Zhao Guangqiang's face turned cold. "So high and mighty, are we? You're just a Light Archer. I'm a hidden class Magic Swordsman too! I refuse to believe that with my qualifications, I can't win you over. One day, I will make you kneel at my feet."
「...」
Jiang Chen arrived home.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...
Jiang Chen opened the door.
"Hello, are you Jiang Chen?"
"I am."
"Here's your package. Please sign for it."
Jiang Chen was excited. "Thank you."
He closed the door and couldn't wait to open the package, looking at the two Skill Books inside—one active skill, one passive skill.
Jiang Chen touched the two Skill Books.
[Do you wish to learn the skills?]
Learn.
[You have learned Sword Qi Surging.]
[Hundred Times Amplification in progress... Amplification successful.]
Sword Qi Surging: Condenses one hundred Sword Auras that swirl around, actively attacking enemies. Duration: one hundred minutes...
Jiang Chen read the skill description. He burst out laughing. HAHAHA! Indeed, it was as expected—the Hundred Times Amplification! With a hundred Sword Auras swirling around him, it was almost like the legendary Myriad Swords Return to Origin. And it lasted for a hundred minutes! What did that even mean? It was frickin' awesome, that's what it was!
[Meditation learned.]
[Hundred Times Amplification in progress... Amplification successful.]
Passive Skill Meditation: Stand still for 0.1 seconds to slowly recover your spiritual power. Recovery value: 1 point.
Just as I thought!
Just 0.1 seconds to recover one point of spiritual power! Even though it was only 1 point, it was more than enough, as my spiritual power is currently only 5 points. Even if I depleted my spiritual power, it could be fully restored in just 0.5 seconds. This was essentially an unending supply of MP!
Jiang Chen looked at his status panel.
[Name: Jiang Chen]
[Occupation: Swordsman]
[Level: 1]
[Experience: 0/100]
[Constitution: 5]
[Strength: 5]
[Spirit: 6]
[Agility: 5]
[Equipment: None]
[Space: 5]
[Skills:
Basic Swordsmanship: Condense your inner power and release a blade of light to attack the enemy. Attack range: 40 meters. Casting time: 0.3 seconds. MP cost: 1 point.
Basic Footwork: Temporarily increase your agility to dodge enemy attacks. Duration: 500 seconds. MP cost: 1 point.
Sword Qi Surging: Conjure one hundred Sword Auras that revolve around and actively attack enemies. Duration: 100 minutes. Attack frequency: 0.1 seconds. MP cost: 2 points.
Passive Skill Meditation: Stand still for 0.1 seconds to slowly recover your spiritual power. Recovery value: 1 point.]
The first skill was like a one-on-one dueling skill, releasing Sword Qi that could reach forty meters. What did that imply? He could let an enemy run for thirty-nine meters...
The second skill was a dodging skill, allowing him to evade enemy attacks.
The third could also be considered an offensive skill that acted somewhat passively. If several Warcraft—or even dozens—attacked at once, Sword Qi Surging could be used. Its attack frequency had also increased a hundredfold. Originally, it attacked once every ten seconds; after the hundredfold increase, it was once every 0.1 seconds. What did that mean? Could an enemy withstand a hundred attacks in just 0.1 seconds? This...
As for the fourth skill, Meditation, after the amplification, it basically meant infinite mana!
At that moment, his phone rang.
Jiang Chen looked at the number. It was his elder sister calling.
Thinking of his sister, the S-grade Shadow Assassin, Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
He answered the phone. "Hello, the number you have dialed is—"
"You little stinker, are you itching for a beating?" his sister's voice cut in. "Don't give me that bullshit! Tens of thousands are missing from my bank account. Did you change your class or something?"
"Can't hide anything from you, Sis."
"What class?"
"Swordsman."
"A D-grade Class?"
"Seems like it."
"Don't you go gallivanting around. I'll take care of you from now on. Just stay put at home."
"Are you trying to stop the growth of a top-tier Swordsman? You might try to stop me, but you can never stop a Swordsman with dreams! I am the future Sword God..."
"Cut the crap! It's dangerous out there. You're just a D-level trash Swordsman; what's there to brag about?"
"Don't look down on people. In this world, there are only trashy people, not trashy classes."
"Actually, I was trying to tell you that your class is trash, and you are even trashier."
Damn it... No need to be so brutally honest.
A voice came from the other end of the line, "What's up, chatting with your beloved little brother again?"
"Alright, gotta go, my roommate's back. Remember what I said. Otherwise, when I get back, I'll skin you alive."
BEEP BEEP BEEP...
Jiang Chen stared at the phone. Who are you looking down on? So what if it's the elite Divine Dragon Academy! I can get in there too!
