Unlocking a Third Profession: Deep Blue Mage!

Unlocking a Third Profession: Deep Blue Mage!

It was not all defense.

This tortoise shell also carried a rebounding critical hit effect.

Long Fan's hand went slightly numb.

He was directly knocked back several steps.

Although Lin Jialu stood behind the sturdy tortoise shell,

she did not stop casting this time, having prepared in advance.

Her staff struck the ground once more.

A surging wave of icy energy spread across the ground.

All of a sudden,

dozens of second-tier Ice Blades rose around Long Fan.

They were far more powerful than ice balls or ice cones.

Ice Blades hovered before and behind him, to his left and right, even above his head.

They practically sealed off every direction around Long Fan.

Like a prison of ice.

A bone-chilling cold burst forth.

Even the circulation of Long Fan's spiritual power was somewhat restricted.

Lin Jialu let out a slight sigh of relief.

Even if it only lasted a short while, Long Fan, affected by ice magic,

would suffer a major drop in both combat strength and mobility.

Lin Jialu began casting again.

This time, she was not defending passively, but attacking proactively.

She intended to reverse the situation in one fell swoop after being suppressed the entire time.

Fourth-tier magic: Ice Burst Halo!

The frigid Ice Blue halo spun out.

A ring of sharp ice spikes covered its surface.

It was like a Wind Eagle Ring bristling with barbs.

Whoosh!

It shot forward.

A faint golden glow lit up around Long Fan.

It suddenly erupted.

Third-tier: Ascension Array!

A golden light barrier providing all-around defense rose more than two meters high.

Clang! Clang!

It deflected every second-tier Ice Blade, shattering them all.

Yet Long Fan, standing within the Ascension Array's shield, leaped up again.

A confident smile appeared on Lin Jialu's pretty face.

Although he had broken through the surrounding obstruction,

the third-tier Ascension Array had also been greatly weakened.

Besides, the fourth-tier Ice Burst Halo was the strongest offensive magic she had mastered.

Jumping up at a time like this was practically making himself into a target!

Against a magician, the greatest taboo was jumping while still within their casting range.

But the next moment,

Lin Jialu's face turned to one of utter shock.

The spiritual power emanating around Long Fan's body

began vibrating rapidly at a strange frequency.

A loud, resounding roar burst forth.

It sounded like a dragon's cry.

It was none other than the fifth-tier skill: Rising Dragon Strike!

The Punishment Knight's strongest single-target fifth-tier skill.

Having easily finished his battle with Xu Tiankong, Long Xiaogua turned his attention over.

He happened to witness this scene.

His heart immediately jolted.

So he was not the only genius capable of comprehending high-tier knight skills ahead of his level.

Li Xin was completely dumbfounded.

So Hao Chen was not the only monstrous, freakish knight.

She had thought her two younger brothers were about as strong as she was.

Who would have thought they were each more absurdly powerful than the last?

Lin Jialu hurriedly added another Ice Turtle Shield outside her fourth-tier Great Tortoise Shell Shield.

At this point, Long Fan had already transformed into a golden dragon phantom.

He shot straight into the sky.

Then he slammed fiercely into the Ice Burst Halo.

Boom!

The halo exploded outright.

The golden dragon, Long Fan, still carried tremendous momentum as he charged at the Ice Turtle Mage, Lin Jialu, protected behind layers of defense.

He struck straight at her core.

A crisp crack rang out.

The outermost ice shield shattered with a bang.

The golden dragon advanced another step.

It rammed directly into the Great Tortoise Shell Shield.

Boom!

Break!

Long Fan, transformed into a dragon, gave a savage thrust.

That tyrannical Rising Dragon Strike was nearly unstoppable.

Lin Jialu was shoved back again and again by the immense impact.

Even the fourth-tier tortoise shell shield was covered in cracks.

But just as the tortoise shell was about to collapse,

Lin Jialu remained calm in the face of danger, displaying why she was Hao Yue's foremost magic genius.

She planted her staff into the ground and quickly steadied herself.

Then she cast another spell with rapid movements.

The instant the tortoise shell shield exploded with a thunderous boom,

a white Repelling Ice Ring erupted from around her delicate body.

A powerful pushing force immediately spread outward.

It was one of an ice magician's greatest trump cards against close-range opponents.

After taking on two fourth-tier skills head-on, the force of Long Fan's Rising Dragon Strike had already been reduced by more than half.

Thus, the formidable Repelling Ice Ring directly blasted Long Fan, who was right in front of her, nearly ten meters away.

It also quickly dispersed and neutralized the remaining force of Rising Dragon Strike.

The golden radiance around Long Fan was canceled out. His feet hit the ground, and he staggered back several steps.

But he quickly regained his footing.

A knowing smile appeared at the corner of Lin Jialu's lips.

By now, her spiritual power was nearly depleted.

As long as she launched one long-range attack before he could Charge into close quarters, she would win.

One low-consumption ice ball after another condensed and shot forth.

The imagination was beautiful.

Reality was harsh.

Just as Long Fan's Rising Dragon Strike dispersed,

he smoothly followed up with the third-tier Light Slash Sword!

It could attack from range and was also a skill that combined offense and defense.

Gripping his sword with both hands, he raised it high above his head.

While Long Fan summoned holy light to protect his body,

he also condensed a blade of light.

Seeing the Light Slash Sword rapidly grow larger before her eyes, Lin Jialu felt a terrible premonition rise in her heart.

Panicking slightly, she hastily placed another ice shield before herself.

On Long Fan's side,

the ice projectiles shattered one after another as they neared within a foot or two of him, all neutralized by the protective golden light.

His iron sword swung downward.

A golden blade of light tore through the air.

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, the light blade slammed head-on into the ice shield.

The latter exploded apart.

The golden light blade cleaved toward Lin Jialu, whose defenses had completely collapsed for the moment.

Lin Jialu shut her eyes in fear.

Her spiritual power had already been drained dry.

Long Fan's relentless assault had squeezed out every last drop.

She was panting heavily, drenched in sweat.

There was no way she could block this strike.

Fearing an accident, Li Xin immediately rushed forward.

Because if that sword came down,

a fragile magician would basically be done for.

A magician's Outer Spiritual Power was far below that of knights, who trained their physical bodies to much higher standards.

She practically threw her arms around Lin Jialu and shielded her with her own body.

Yet the light blade did not fall.

It dissipated right before the two girls.

Hiss— Hiss—

The two attendant warriors, who had already started rushing over, also sucked in sharp breaths.

That had been far too close.

But it also showed that Long Fan, as a knight, had mastered the Light Slash Sword skill to perfection.

Long Fan had already sheathed his sword and stood still.

It's over!

Under the tutelage of Starry Sky's number one Punishment Knight, he had long since mastered the ability to freely unleash and retract third- and fourth-tier skills.

As for this third-tier offensive and defensive Light Slash Sword,

he could even freely regulate the allocation of spiritual power.

He could alter the proportion between its golden light defense and light blade attack.

This allowed him to optimize his combat to the fullest extent.

Just then,

the notification tone of the Divine Deep Blue System sounded:

Ding! Detected that the host has defeated a fourth-tier Grand Magician with overwhelming superiority for the first time. Special reward: Magician Profession Book ×1.

The moment he heard the words "Magician Profession Book,"

Long Fan, as a steady Deep Blue Profession user, used it without hesitation.

Knowing a little bit of everything was the ultimate goal of a Deep Blue Profession user.

Who could refuse becoming a magic master?

After all, Masked Knight Faye was absolutely the best!

A flash of light streaked past.

A torrent of information concerning the foundational cultivation of the magician profession poured into his mind.

It was as though enlightenment had been poured straight into him.

Long Fan immediately became invigorated.

Effortlessly.

Awakened third profession: Mage!

Hehe, one hundred million giant steps closer to becoming the all-powerful hexagonal Deep Blue King!!

With the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition test day fast approaching, improving his strength was becoming quite urgent.

The test itself wasn't difficult—easy as pie...

No, he could pass it with a blink of an eye.

But Yang Haoyu had also assigned him an additional solo mission.

One more profession naturally meant one more layer of assurance!
