[(Bronze Badge) Who's going to fill in the missing CGs for me... This tiered update system for comments is so annoying.]

[(Silver Badge) Bronze Badge corresponds to a normal rating, Silver Badge corresponds to a good rating, and Gold Badge corresponds to an excellent rating. Officially certified! Mom won't have to worry about me being scammed by all sorts of shady characters anymore.]

[Regarding the (Silver Badge) speaking hierarchy, there are different levels and a clear distinction between superiors and inferiors.]

[(Gold Badge) This should have been done a long time ago. Previously, the channel was flooded with a bunch of meaningless junk information, hundreds of thousands a day, a waste of attention. I've now set it to only show Silver Badge and above.]

[(Silver Badge) Hey bro... I used the same method to filter, but it doesn't seem to work. You can take a look.]

[(Gold Badge) It is recommended that professionals post at least one message to facilitate statistics; as of the 43rd, 364,376 professionals have posted. Among them, 842 are Gold Badge, 284,391 are Silver Badge members, and 79,143 are Bronze Badge members.]

As soon as this statistic with the Gold Badge was released, the channel was flooded with comments again.

Many people then realized that the Survivor consistently posted statistics every day was actually a Forbidden Class with an "excellent" rating.

Moreover, the information is counterintuitive—among professionals, the number of senior professionals (Silver Badge) far exceeds that of ordinary professionals (Bronze Badge).

Forbidden Class correspond to excellent ratings, advanced professions correspond to good ratings, and ordinary professions correspond to average ratings.

In other words, more people actually received a "good" rating in the Trial Instance.

This is not because a "good" rating is of low value. On the contrary, it shows that the Trial Instance is of high value.

Currently, fewer people are able to survive the 30-day survival test, obtain an "average" rating, and successfully Class Change than those who obtain a "good" rating.

Moreover, there are only about 300,000 professionals worldwide, which averages out to just a few people per region.

The top performers in each region fully deserve good reviews.

For the number of ordinary professionals to increase, we need to wait for the average strength of the Survivor group to rise, and for the leading players to provide "Trial Instance guides" that lower the trial ratings.

Those who can become professionals are all strong, and most of them have a "good" rating. The Forbidden Class, who have an "excellent" rating, are all overpowered.

Su Luo turned off the World Channel and refocused her attention on reality.

In the center of the experimental area, the old Mana Pool has begun to operate stably. Visible pale red Fire Elements overflow, slowly gathering in the air and gradually forming a dark red energy sphere with a diameter of about two meters.

The light flow inside the sphere rotates slowly, and the temperature rises steadily within a controllable range.

But if it's completely controllable, it's not interesting at all; what kind of high-energy experiment would it be?

Su Luo waved his hand, dispersing all the air within a hundred meters radius, creating a Vacuum. He then compressed and threw away the soil and gravel beneath his feet, finally creating a Vacuum Domain with a radius of one hundred meters.

Without a conductive medium, heat cannot be conducted through means other than thermal radiation. The input far exceeds the output. As long as the device does not malfunction, the temperature of the core fireball can rise indefinitely until the device is destroyed.

Su Luo finds it difficult to control temperatures exceeding 200,000 degrees Celsius. This time, Su Luo plans to store a stable ball with temperatures exceeding 10 million degrees Celsius for future experiments.

Go get the materials.

Su Luo nimbly left the "experimental zone".

Han Song stood in the darkness outside the Sanctuary, organizing the large amount of materials he had acquired in the transaction.

He received Su Luo's reply shortly after the transaction was completed, "Coming soon."

Han Song took a deep breath, took a step forward and walked more than ten meters. As he left the light source, darkness surged in from all directions like a tide, swallowing up the light.

Within just a few meters, it was almost completely black. I heard that the area inside was considered relatively dark; the light was swallowed up even more severely outside the area, and you couldn't even see your shadow on the ground.

Snap your fingers.

"Laugh--"

A Fist- sized, orange-red fireball leaped from his fingertip and Burn steadily. The firelight was warm and bright, illuminating a radius of several meters around it.

The next second, the fireball trembled violently, then split into eight smaller fireballs from the center, spreading out to expand the illumination range.

Finally, a magnificent light curtain was formed, suspended in the darkness. It covered an area of about ten square meters and was of uneven thickness. Inside the light curtain, the fire flowed slowly and meandered, and the light and shadow intertwined, revealing a strange sense of rhythm.

It's so beautiful, like amber.

These are [Improved Fireball (Green)], [Fireball Splitting (Green)], and [Fireball Shaping (Green)].

These are all advanced learning posts by Su Luo on the forum.

As Survivors improve their skills, more and more people reach the Level 5 limit. While waiting to Class Change, they begin to try to learn advanced skills that can only be mastered by professionals.

You need to reach level 1 through self-study first, then Unsealing the Exemption Stone, and level up by using Skill Experience Stones or practicing.

The rewards for the leaderboard have also been increasing. Initially, only the top ten players could receive Exemption Stones, but now the top few hundred players can receive them.

This sparked a wave of self-study. No one dared to underestimate the cruelty of the Land of Darkness; the pursuit of strength was an instinct ingrained in everyone's bones.

But Han Song knew that this "learning craze" was mostly superficial. Most people only spent two or three days learning the green skill to level 1, and then started grinding experience levels after unlocking it—after all, everyone was busy, trying to survive, explore, collect resources, and deal with Monster Tide.

They won't read or understand the more advanced posts that follow.

Let alone blue skills, even learning the green skill [Fireball Splitting (Green)] requires self-studying [Optimized Fireball (Green)] to Level 5.

Han Song is different. His schedule is relatively regular, and he has enough resources to support him in deeper learning. Moreover, he seems to really like being "hot".

Or rather, the people in Zone 76 all have a greater or lesser inclination towards fire-based skills.

The primary reason is naturally the environment—in the darkness, lighting is a necessity. The value of a stable fireball that can be summoned at any time is self-evident.

Su Luo's earlier post, "[[Guide] The Miracle of Non- Spellcaster Classes: Introduction to Fireball - A Lighting Revolution from Zero to One]", has become the post with the highest browsing time.

A secondary reason is Su Luo's influence; his most frequently used and most eye-catching offensive methods are various fire Spells. Among the tutorial posts he has published, those about fire skills are the most detailed and systematic.

This invisible guiding effect leads many people to unconsciously prioritize fire when choosing a skill development path. Fire is also highly versatile, suitable for both magic-based and melee/ranged players.

As he was pondering, Han Song suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark blue figure standing Jingjing half a meter away from him out of the corner of his eye—it was Su Luo.

Han Song's body trembled.

That's terrifying, like a ghost. Han Song stared blankly for a while after sending the message, and less than twenty seconds later, Su Luo arrived silently.
