Second Advancement: Soul Saber Wielder

System notification: Congratulations on completing the job change quest. Your current civilization has been registered; the civilization name is Merrick Civilization. The system has marked and recorded this information.

System notification:...

As the Moore Moor finally lowered his staff, Lister heard the long-awaited system notification.

At the same time, the mage Martin sighed and shook his head silently.

"The Merrick Civilization is registered. Because you are a civilization registered under the Federal Basic Regulations, the Merrick Civilization's starfield will be divided according to the standards of the Basic Regulations, making it much larger than civilizations registered using other methods."

"The total diameter is 0.007 light-years, encompassing one star, one life-bearing planet (also the ruling planet), seven resource planets, and the rest..."

Master Moore followed the procedure and presented all the registration information to him in person for confirmation.

Unfortunately, Lister's mind was no longer in the room.

Just before Lister finished delivering the last message and was about to leave, the Mage Moore gave him one last reminder.

"I see your level is already on the verge of evolution."

"If it evolves again, you can register with me as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Lister couldn't help but wonder if this so-called evolution was simply a job change.

Before he could think it through, another message popped up on the system panel.

"Since the system has connected to the Galactic Federation's database, you have received a new friend request— Moore. (Note: Communication with this friend is limited to the Arcane Civilization.)"

It seems that because of that chip, this was the first time Lister had added the native inhabitants of the "Divine Revelation" world as friends through the player system panel.

Only after the three of them emerged from the tower did the mage Martin seem to have a general understanding of Lister and his companion's situation.

He didn't intend to follow the two any further, but simply offered them a reminder.

"According to the regulations of Arcane Truth Star, citizens of lower-level civilizations who remain in the area must pay a stay fee."

"I have waived your fees for 180 days. I hope you will strictly abide by the laws of Truth Star."

"If there's any news about Lord Hoffman on Truth Star, I hope... never mind!"

Martin shook his head as he finished speaking, then gave Lister a final, deep look before finally turning and leaving.

The further away you are from the outer perimeter of the giant tower, the fewer people there are wearing robes.

They were all citizens of a low-level civilization stranded on the Arcane Seat of Government Planet, and Lister and Wang Yue felt as if they had completely integrated into the community here.

Stepping into one of the dilapidated towers, the hall was cramped, as if it had been partitioned off.

A portly mage in a blue robe appeared before us, bearing a striking resemblance to Porter from the Poly Merchant Association.

"I need two rooms, but I don't have any credits or amethyst coins."

The fat mage was already used to Lister's words, which sounded like he was about to dine and dash.

"Show me your civilization level, and give me your civilization's currency, or any equipment, materials, or energy sources."

After a series of transactions.

"Two Class C rooms, for one week."

"Since you are a Level 1 civilization, an additional month's deposit is required."

That's really dark!

The more Lister interacted with the Arcane Civilization, the more he felt the class disparity.

Apart from being citizens of the same Level 3 civilization, all other lower-level civilizations suffer various forms of unfair treatment in all aspects.

Even the black market currency exchange is the same; the fat mage in front of you blatantly tells you about the huge difference in exchange rates for each level of civilization.

Even housing security deposits need to be assessed using different standard periods.

Lister couldn't worry about that for the time being and hurried upstairs to his residence in the tower.

"I need to rest for a few days. You can take care of things yourself."

"Please contact me anytime if you need anything."

After giving Wang Yue a brief explanation, Lister turned and closed the door.

Because of that chip, the two of them could communicate online in most parts of the Arcane Civilization, which saved them a lot of effort.

The Class C rooms aren't actually very big, but at least they're clean.

Lister quickly opened the player panel, clicked on the job change quest section, and finally had time to carefully observe and consider it.

Congratulations, you have successfully completed your job change.

"Notification: Due to the difficulty of your job change quest exceeding the standard, the job strength of the job you change to will be appropriately increased. (Note: This adjustment has already taken effect!)"

Please select your job change from the following three options.

"Job Change 1: Overlord Blade Master (Rare Class): Gains exclusive skill -- Super Armor (S-rank): For 60 seconds, attacks and skills cannot be interrupted, greatly immune to control effects and damage, and increases additional damage by 15%."

"Job Change 2: Righteous and Evil Swordsman (Rare Class): Gains the class skill -- Righteous and Evil Saber Slash (S-rank): Allows switching between righteous and evil sword techniques. When unleashing a righteous sword attack, it deals 775~891 damage to the enemy and increases additional damage by 15%."

When unleashing the Evil Blade, it deals 775-891 damage to the enemy, increases attack speed by 10%, increases lifesteal by 10%, and deals 10% counterattack damage to the enemy.

With two rare professions in a row, and the skills they provide starting at S-rank, Lister felt much more at ease.

In particular, the first Overlord Blade Master's Super Armor effect, immunity to crowd control and damage, and increased damage are all exceptional.

Although it's not a passive skill, it's practically the same as a passive skill during the duration of the Super Armor.

The only thing that made Lister hesitate was the immunity to crowd control effects, which seemed to overlap with Merrick Saber Technique and the passive skill of Resolute Heart.

Right now, I'm looking towards the last profession with anticipation.

"Job Advancement Level 3: Soul Blade Master (Rare Class): Gains the passive skill -- Robust Soul (Passive, No Rank): Increases Soul Strength by 1 point per level. (Note: Soul Strength is not included in the system's statistics. The stronger the soul, the greater the enhancement to all skills related to the user's soul, and the higher the damage assessment level.) (Special Reminder: This skill has special requirements for upgrading; please choose carefully.)"

"Class advancement selected: Soul Blade Master"

The system notification sounded immediately. Lister might have hesitated before, but after seeing the third profession, he had no further thoughts.

He was unaware of the standards for soul strength, and had never heard of this information in his previous life.

He could already determine the nature of this rare class's passive skill just by looking at it.

At the same time, there are still so-called impartial special reminders. I don't know about other things, but the fact that Lister could be impartially reminded speaks volumes about the special and rare nature of this profession.

The instant after he was completely certain, Lister was struck by a sharp, intense pain.

The stinging sensation first spread through every inch of his skin and then penetrated deep into his internal organs; sweat quickly poured from his entire body.

The stinging sensation intensified, as if it were penetrating deeper, something Lister had never experienced before when he changed jobs or leveled up.

Before long, the needle-like pain had spread to his brain, and it was penetrating deeper and faster.

An indescribable fear and trembling arose from the depths of my heart.

The incredibly real stinging sensation seemed to pierce his very soul the next moment, but the intense pain he had imagined did not come.

Instead, an indescribable warmth welled up in my heart.

The stinging pain throughout my body was instantly replaced by a warm, soothing sensation that spread from the depths of my soul, leaving only an overwhelming feeling of comfort.

Soon, the stinging pain completely disappeared, and the warmth receded like the tide.

Congratulations on completing the Soul Blademaster class change.

Notification: Your health and stamina have been greatly increased as you have completed the second stage of your job advancement.

"Notice: Phase Two of job advancement is complete. All skill status has been removed, and the experience required to level up players and skills has increased significantly."

Lister glanced at the scene and saw that all the skill levels in front of him had increased tenfold, and the experience requirements for player levels had increased a hundredfold, just like in his memories from his previous life.

He immediately began to allocate the 2.7 billion experience points he had stored up to improve his character.

Congratulations! Your level has been increased.

Congratulations: Your Merrick Breathing Technique has been upgraded!
