After reviewing the information, Lan Tianyu quickly understood.
Healing, buffs, dispels, shields—
the Priest class was clearly designed as a support role.
Although Sanctuary of Light could deal damage, it was specifically effective against demons.
Yet in the Gold Time-Space, where he had lived for more than twenty years, he had never even seen a single demon.
In practical use, the skill would most likely be used for group healing instead.
"Wait… even though I've never seen a demon, our family's ancestral hall contains a blade sealed with a blade soul."
"They call it a blade soul, but in truth it's a blade demon."
"Anyone who comes into contact with it without extremely strong willpower will become the blade demon's slave."
A flash of realization appeared in Lan Tianyu's mind as he suddenly remembered this information.
A few years ago, he had actually considered subduing the Ghost Wolf Blade, but his father Lan Wenhua had stopped him on the spot.
From Lan Wenhua, he had learned quite a few secrets about that blade.
In the past, several ancestors whose combat power exceeded twenty thousand had attempted to subdue the Ghost Wolf Blade.
Without exception—
Every single one of them had become the blade demon's slaves.
Because of that, Lan Tianyu had completely abandoned the idea.
Compared to external treasures, he valued his life far more.
"But if Sanctuary of Light can suppress demons…"
"Then maybe there's a way to deal with the Ghost Wolf Blade."
A sharp glint appeared in Lan Tianyu's eyes.
He had already made up his mind.
He had to give it a try.
After all—
It was only a blade demon.
Nothing to fear.
"Still, before doing that, I should first study how to distribute these skill points."
"Twenty points… I wonder if that's a lot or not."
Lan Tianyu fell into thought.
With so many skills available—
Which one should he upgrade first?
Zen Heart?
If he chose that skill, his endurance and energy recovery would be permanently solved.
But after thinking briefly, he dismissed the idea.
No matter what—
His combat power index was the most important.
Skills like healing injuries, restoring internal energy, or blocking damage would have to wait.
Therefore, his first choices were Angel's Blessing and Acceleration.
Although Angel's Blessing had a duration, its cooldown was extremely short.
As long as he paid a little attention, it was practically a permanent buff.
As for Acceleration, while its effect wouldn't appear instantly, it would accumulate steadily over time.
With that decision made, he stopped hesitating.
His consciousness approached the fruit.
In the next moment—
Two symbols appeared on it.
"+" and "–".
Clearly, they were used to increase or decrease skill levels.
"So skill points can actually be refunded…"
Lan Tianyu was slightly surprised.
"That's pretty user-friendly."
"With that, there's plenty of room for trial and error."
"If I ever lack endurance, I can add points to Zen Heart. If I'm injured, I can use Healing or Sanctuary of Light…"
With a thought—
Lan Tianyu tapped the "+" symbol for both Angel's Blessing and Acceleration.
[Angel's Blessing LV1]
Holy light grants a blessing. During the blessing, your combat power index temporarily increases by 2%. Duration: 600 seconds. Cooldown: 15 seconds.
[Acceleration LV1]
Permanently increases cultivation speed by 1×.
After seeing the details, Lan Tianyu no longer hesitated.
He continued adding points.
This time, however, he didn't upgrade both skills together.
He wanted to test whether skills had a level cap.
The sacred fruit glowed brighter and brighter as he continued allocating points.
But when he tapped the plus sign for the ninth time, the symbol suddenly dimmed and disappeared.
[Angel's Blessing LV10]
Holy light grants a blessing. During the blessing, your combat power index temporarily increases by 20%. Duration: 600 seconds. Cooldown: 15 seconds.
"Only ten levels and it's already capped?"
"Isn't that limit a bit low?"
Lan Tianyu frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.
But rules were rules.
There was nothing he could do.
"Let's test the effect first."
He calmed his emotions and released his combat power index.
[5642… 10365… 15623… 20600]
Compared to six days ago, his combat power had increased by nearly 200 points.
At this growth rate, he would surpass 30,000 combat power within a year.
Back then, he had been stuck at 19,999 points for an entire year without progress.
Now, a single year of growth could equal several years—or even a decade—of past effort.
The system really was incredible.
Hopefully the Priest class he had just obtained wouldn't disappoint.
"Angel's Blessing."
Even though the skill could be activated with a thought, Lan Tianyu still shouted it out like a dramatic protagonist.
The next second—
Several tiny angelic figures, each no larger than a palm and glowing with gentle white light, appeared out of nowhere.
They fluttered around above Lan Tianyu's head, their wings shimmering with holy light.
Though silent, they seemed to chant sacred hymns.
With the Six Eyes' omnidirectional perception, Lan Tianyu naturally saw the little angels.
Curious, he reached out to touch one—
But his fingers passed straight through the projection.
At that moment—
A pillar of white light descended from nowhere.
A vast yet gentle radiance surged into his dantian, merging perfectly with his internal energy without the slightest resistance.
Then—
His internal energy began surging violently.
His combat power skyrocketed.
[20600… 21956… 22846… 24720]
Lan Tianyu closed his eyes, quietly experiencing the transformation.
Although his combat power had increased by only about four thousand points, his actual strength had improved at least threefold.
The quality and quantity of his internal energy, along with the smoothness of its control, had undergone a dramatic transformation.
If he fought now—
He could easily instantly defeat the version of himself from seconds ago.
"Theoretical numbers aren't very intuitive."
"I should test the actual effect outside."
Lan Tianyu murmured softly.
He leaped out of the window and landed in the villa courtyard.
"Fire! Flame! Blaze! Inferno!"
He shouted as he extended his right hand.
A torrent of internal energy surged outward.
Thousands of crimson fireballs instantly condensed.
Then—
They collided and fused together at a speed and efficiency far greater than before.
The intense heat distorted the air throughout the courtyard.
In only a few breaths—
A massive six-meter-wide white-hot fireball, like a miniature sun, floated above Lan Tianyu's palm.
The destructive energy instantly scorched the surrounding plants and grass.
"Now that's a much clearer comparison."
"Before, even after exhausting 99% of my internal energy, I could only create a two-meter fireball."
"Now its diameter has tripled."
Lan Tianyu clenched his hand.
The massive fireball vanished instantly, like a bubble being popped.
Only the lingering heat in the courtyard remained.
Then he teleported back to the master bedroom.
Just as he was about to add points to the next skill—
He suddenly noticed the minus sign.
Almost instinctively, he switched back to Angel's Blessing and tapped the minus symbol.
[Angel's Blessing LV9]
Holy light grants a blessing. Temporarily increases combat power by 18%. Duration: 600 seconds. Cooldown: 15 seconds.
The moment the level dropped—
Lan Tianyu immediately felt a portion of internal energy vanish from his dantian.
His combat power dropped from 24,720 to 24,308.
"So the skill effect updates in real time…"
"Looks like exploiting a bug isn't possible."
Lan Tianyu clicked his tongue in disappointment.
He had hoped that once a skill was activated, its effect would remain even if the level changed afterward.
But the result clearly showed he had been overly optimistic.
The Fishing System wouldn't have such a basic flaw.
"Let's continue upgrading."
After calming himself, he switched back to Acceleration and rapidly tapped the plus symbol.
[Acceleration LV10]
Permanently increases cultivation speed by 10×.
