Flesh Armor

Now, only the basic introduction of the profession can be seen.

It's a pleasant surprise to have four profession choices. These represent four different career paths, each with different special attributes.

Option A: Berserk Blood Fighter, should specialize in Strength, a Berserker type.

Option B: Blood Curse Hunter, most likely specializes in Agility, an Assassin or Archer type.

Option C: Blood Armor Shield Guard specializes in Stamina, a Tank profession, mainly for taking damage as the Main Tank.

Option D: Blood Magic Sorcerer specializes in Spirit, a Mage profession.

Bai Pu didn't hesitate for too long and directly chose Option C: Blood Armor Shield Guard.

Although the other three options were tempting, Bai Pu was rational in choosing a profession. He needed to align with his [Evolution Heart] talent to achieve an effect greater than 1+1=2.

The two major talent skills of the Evolution Heart talent, the first being [Self-Adaptive Evolution], with its damage reduction against targeted attacks, is simply a Tank's divine skill.

The second, [Pure Blood Guard], mainly involves commanding Aberration creature servants to fight, which is equivalent to being half a Summoner.

As everyone knows, Summoners are most afraid of decapitation tactics.

Once the Summoner is instantly killed, no matter how many or how strong the summoned creatures are, they are useless.

Bai Pu chose the Tank profession, making himself the strongest defense, greatly increasing the safety factor.

There is one last reason: Tank professions are generally more difficult to obtain. Trial-takers need to demonstrate the ability to withstand a large amount of damage during the trial period in order to have the option of advancing to a Tank profession.

When trial-takers enter the Spirit Realm, their health is generally only a few dozen points. Who would dare to take damage? They all let the natives take the hits while the trial-takers shrink back in safe positions to output damage.

This leads to a considerable scarcity of Stamina specialists who can serve as Tanks. In general teams, Strength specialists increase their health to fill the Tank position.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Main Tank is the linchpin of a squad or even a team! Having a powerful Main Tank, as solid as a steel cone, is what many teams rely on to challenge powerful bosses.

After making the selection, the Spirit Realm Will's prompt message arrived:

[You have chosen the Enhanced Elite Profession: Blood Armor Shield Guard.]
[Blood Armor Shield Guard Main Attribute: Stamina. Each level up, you will gain 2 points of Strength, 2 points of Agility, 4 points of Stamina, and 2 points of Spirit.]
[Based on the Enhanced Elite Profession Trial reward, you have gained (10) points of the main attribute.]
[Your Stamina +10.]
[You have gained a total of (3) points of Priority. Including the Awakened basic Priority of 1 point, and the Enhanced Elite Profession Priority of 2 points.]
[Based on the characteristics of your profession: Blood Armor Shield Guard, your Health to Stamina ratio is increased to 20:1 (every 1 point of Stamina represents 20 points of Health)]
[You have gained Heavy Armor Mastery: When wearing heavy armor, it will not affect your movement speed. When wearing heavy armor, you gain the Steadfast trait, making it more difficult to be knocked down or knocked back.]
[You have gained a special energy bar: Blood Battle Qi.]

A burst of light flashed, and a warm current surged into Bai Pu's heart, then flowed through his limbs.

Bai Pu felt subtle changes in his body. The density of his bones and muscles had increased. Although his size had not increased, his weight had definitely increased by a large margin.

A new energy flowed through Bai Pu's blood. This was "Blood Battle Qi," but Bai Pu was temporarily unable to freely control the Blood Battle Qi.

The special energy "Blood Battle Qi" is a resource that the Blood Armor Shield Guard consumes when using skills. Ordinary attacks cannot mobilize Blood Battle Qi to amplify damage.

[You have comprehended the class skill: Flesh Armor (Two Stars).]

[Flesh Armor: You can inscribe Flesh Runes on heavy armor equipment. Activate the Flesh Runes to absorb the flesh and blood energy of surrounding enemies to enhance your defense. You can only inscribe the runes on one piece of heavy armor equipment at a time.]

A stream of information flooded into Bai Pu's mind. Bai Pu automatically comprehended the method of inscribing and activating Flesh Runes, which was also a branch of Flesh Alchemy. Unfortunately, whether it was due to the limitations of the Spirit Realm Will, Flesh Runes could not be strengthened through self-study, nor could they be taught to others.

Bai Pu checked the detailed data of the Flesh Runes.

[Flesh Rune: Deals (1~3 points, depending on the severity of the enemy's injury) of dark attribute magic damage per second to affected enemies, and continuously grants you an equal amount of shield value, lasting for 120 seconds. Shield priority is (5), with a maximum of (30) points.]

As for "priority," it was the judgment level when skill conflicts occurred in battles between Awakened.

For example, when Bai Pu's health dropped to 1 point, he activated the class skill [Flesh Armor], and the shield's priority was 5 points.

When an opponent used a penetrating attack that "ignored shields," if the priority was 4 points or lower, Bai Pu could use the shield to block the damage; if the priority reached 5 points or higher, Bai Pu could only rely on his luck.

"I feel like you've become different," Qin said, scrutinizing Bai Pu.

"Yes."

Bai Pu nodded calmly.

Because the Blood Armor Shield Guard's health ratio was as high as 20, Bai Pu's 15 points of Constitution generated a full 300 points of health! Compared to the mere 50 points of health when he first entered the Spirit Realm, his survivability was several times stronger.

The strength of a Trial-taker and a true Awakened was not on the same level at all.

Recalling that Bai Pu's trial mission was actually to fight against a team of Awakened, the difficulty was truly terrifying. The Spirit Realm Will's S-level difficulty was definitely hellish.

"When are you leaving?" In Qin's view, Bai Pu had already achieved his goal and would not stay in this world for long.

"In another half month or so," Bai Pu said.

After completing the trial mission, the remaining nearly 8 days became Bai Pu's free exploration time. Adding it all up, Bai Pu could freely explore the Flesh Plague: Origin plane for sixteen or seventeen days.

This kind of free exploration time was very precious. Awakened could use free exploration time to dig up side quests, challenge powerful monsters, and win various rewards. Even if they encountered dangerous situations, they could leave the Spirit Realm and return to reality at any time, and the rewards they had already obtained would not disappear.

Bai Pu planned to use this time to clear out the remaining strongholds of the Blood Ring Vanguard Army.

The elite Aberrant monsters of the Blood Ring Vanguard Army, due to the Blood Ring Curse Seal, only obeyed the orders of a higher-level general—Blood Hand Colen.

After Blood Hand Colen died, they lost their commander and, like guard dogs, stayed in their garrison strongholds, not taking the initiative to attack.

This was a good thing, avoiding too much chaos for the Brandenburg Northland, allowing the Brandenburg camp to slowly clear them out.

Bai Pu planned to participate in the battle.

Although he was now an enhanced elite class, with powerful attribute panels and powerful class skills, his combat expertise was still very low, and his combat skills were completely blank.

For example, Bai Pu was like Duan Yu, who had just absorbed the internal energy of a group of disciples from the Wuliang Sword Sect, possessing a lot of internal energy but not knowing any practical combat moves, making it difficult to fully utilize his strength.

Fighting against the remaining enemies of the Blood Ring Vanguard Army was not very dangerous, but it could hone Bai Pu's combat skills. He had already decided to practice the use of one-handed weapons and shields, at least to train the two combat expertise to the advanced level.

Basic expertise was the level of a Trial-taker, while advanced expertise was the standard of an Awakened.

During the rest time between battles, Bai Pu planned to follow Qin to systematically learn the knowledge of "Alchemy."

Flesh Plague: Origin was a "Source Plane."

Many of the knowledge from the Source Plane could be learned and brought back to the real world for application, because the Source Plane was generated based on a certain historical era of the real Earth and was extremely similar to Earth.

If there is guidance from the natives, and the system learns the knowledge of the original plane, a small number of Awakened can comprehend related "sub-professions"! Many major forces in the real world are eager for talents with sub-professions.

Bai Pu certainly won't return to the real world ahead of time. The Superpower Corporation's setback this time will inevitably lead to retaliation against him in the real world! Although Bai Pu already has a preliminary plan, variables are unpredictable, and there are too many ways for the enemy to retaliate! In this situation, every bit Bai Pu's strength increases, the more leeway he has to respond.
