013 Class Showcase

Next, the demonstration PV began to introduce the class system of "Star Abyss". The official team is well aware that the game has a high difficulty threshold, so they specially marked the representative characters of each class for players, so that everyone can quickly understand the actual performance and combat potential of each class on the Azure Planet.

Basically, it can be said that every NPC in this profession is the strongest in their field on Azure Planet, which is what players traditionally know as a 'profession mentor'.

The screen gradually dimmed.

Li Aoz thought: If nothing unexpected happens, the first one to appear will be the Destruction-type.

Dong—Ding—

The Zen-like sounds of the guzheng and the melodious flute soothe the soul, instantly transporting the audience to a bamboo forest, bringing them a sense of tranquility and peace.

Just as the audience was being soothed by the healing music, a male voice, filled with murderous intent yet held back, suddenly rang out:

"In ancient times, people practiced martial arts to maintain their health and fitness; nowadays, people practice martial arts only to kill enemies."

Boom! The screen shattered in the next moment, the force of the punch was like a dragon, stirring up a long and unending vast momentum, the echo reverberating in the empty valley.

The person who made the move was dressed in plain-colored training clothes, with a restrained demeanor. He slowly raised his palm from the burning tank, his strong muscles bulging slightly, immediately unleashing a fierce protective aura, calmly blocking the incoming bullets and artillery fire. He then slowly raised his fist and palm, bringing with him fierce energy and flames. With each move, he unleashed condensed energy waves that stretched dozens of meters, easily tearing and burning the alloy apart.

"[Martial Artist], the advanced profession of the Dragon Style - [Chi Master]."

The accompanying text description indicates that this Beta-rank Martial Artist is named Yan Qixiong, Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Sky Ring people, and also the top Combat Power of the [Chi Master] who has advanced from the Dragon School on Azure Planet.

[Chi Master] can be considered a physical mage with great strength and a powerful physique. They specialize in cultivating qi and are basically not easily kited. However, the downside is that they cannot perform human body modifications or wear armor, which will affect their ability to exert their strength.

Li Aoz had a deep impression of him; this guy was close to the Gamma Rank and had died in his previous life after taking a small tactical nuclear bomb head-on.

Next was the mentor of the Crane School, a middle-aged man with long ponytail.

Li Aoz recognized the man: Chu ZhengLan. He was also a [Martial Artist] of Sky Ring, wearing a loose ronin robe and only basic Exoskeleton Armor with no signs of modification. He was handsome with a full beard. Many people had already recognized him as the ronin samurai who dismantled the mecha with his bare hands in the previous Sky Ring introductory video.

The advanced class of the Crane School on Azure Planet is the Warrior, but it can only be learned and changed at the Sky Ring. Warriors can only use swords and blades, but they can wear equipment such as Super Kevlar and Nanofiber Composite Armor.

Next is the mentor of the Assassins, an elite agent from the Frostplate Law Enforcement Division Four Agency — Gekarlin Tershi. She follows the Assassins' advanced class, Annihilator. Simply put, this is a fierce assassin who walks up to you in broad daylight and then kills you. She is proficient in firearms, melee combat, and rapid mobility. One of her major features is her extremely high burst speed. On land, she can instantly reach 3.5 times the speed of sound, which even missiles cannot catch up with.

Of course, the trade-off is that you're incredibly fragile and can't equip any armor, making you even more fragile than Li Aoz.

Next up is the last branch of the Destruction-type class: the Ranger. Its mentor is quite interesting; he's Jose Rediaz, the security consultant for Zhengxu's Hyperion Armory. He's a dark-skinned man who carries nine different guns. His combat demonstration isn't a real battle, but rather a simple firing and alternating shots at a firing range. In 12 seconds, he shears off a third of a 200-meter-high hill in the distance.

The advancement path for the [Ranger] class is very simple, with only one advanced class currently available: [Firepower Envoy].

Simply put, it allows you to imbue your weapon with energy, giving the bullets effects such as delayed explosion, continuous burning, blunt impact damage, and sharpening armor penetration. It's simple, brutal, and surprisingly effective.

The [Destruction] series is the most popular, with its stunning destruction effects directly hitting the XP of male players. The [Martial Artist] series, with its powerful and domineering muscular characters, inexplicably attracts the attention of straight men, making them very excited.

"Sorry, hell is full."

After the dazzling explosion, the style shifts abruptly, immediately transitioning to the eerie and mysterious [Weird] specialty.

The mentor of the "medium" is a mature beauty who still retains her charm and dresses like a fortune teller. Her fluffy black curly hair makes her look even more charming and attractive. She has a hot figure, but her name is unknown. All that is known is that she belongs to the Outland organization, the Garbage Collectors.

As an advanced class, the Soul Retriever can effortlessly converse with ghosts and summon Spirit Wraith that are a major headache for non-psychic players. She can use psychological techniques to mask her own presence, even manipulate the minds of others, cause enemies to turn against each other, and extract the souls of the dead from their bodies to transform them into spirit creatures for her to control.

To Li Aoz's surprise, the Shaman's mentor was different from what he remembered. This man, named Krus Wolfray, came from the Subway Brotherhood. He was a burly man with a body full of fat, like a small mountain. He had not advanced to the common Druid class, but rather to Wizard.

The Wizard's role can be understood as a melee mage or a spell tank. Compared to the Druid's well-rounded but not proficient role, the Wizard directly abandons healing abilities in exchange for extremely powerful destructive and defensive capabilities. They can request some of the power from the will of nature to unleash lightning and torrential rain.

Li Aoz had no recollection of Cruz, but the official figure stated that his strength was as high as the Gamma Rank — Li Aoz suspected that he might have come into contact with some knowledge left over from the Old Era, no, it was very likely extraterrestrial knowledge.

Because the profession of "Wizard" is simply not something that can be produced on Azure Planet.

"Looks like I need to go to the Subway Brotherhood and make some contact with them," Li Aoz thought.

Cruise swung his arm and pounded the drum. Soon, a torrential downpour began. In the cold Outland, the raindrops would freeze instantly upon hitting the ground, causing even more terrible secondary freezing damage.

Next, the stage was handed over to the [Art] department—unfortunately, the [Art] department on Azure Planet only has two paths to choose from: [Biochemist] and [Mechanic]. The barrage of comments also sparked a debate about 'genetic ascension' versus 'mechanical ascension'.

The representative of the "Mechanic" class... unsurprisingly, is still Du Zexin, Du Mouldy Crotch.

"Dress!"

Du Zexin roared, his entire body covered in the mechanical armor of [Beautiful Wish], and in that instant, the enthusiasm of the entire live broadcast room was ignited.

"Damn it! Real men should pilot mechs!"

"I'm going to be a mechanic! Nobody can stop me! Kamen Rider, transform!"

"Ore wa gan da mu da!"

"That's great, "Li Aoz thought. "It's a pity that Mouldy Crotch's profession didn't advance. This armor didn't last long before it was destroyed by the Biohazard Giantgod."

As for the [Biochemist]'s career mentor, it is Dame Kelly Sharigan from the Red Arrow Empire.

It's normal that they changed the person in charge.

After all, his mentor in his previous life, the 'Biochemist', was codenamed N4, and his real name is unknown.

However, she has an interesting identity: the actual controller of the Nethermark Heavy Industries Group. In a sense, the professor's abilities were all taught by her.

"Did I kill the professor to stop the 'Pioneers' from showing their faces in public?"

Li Aoz touched his chin.

The geniuses in the [Crafts] department are really shrewd. Even though Li Aoz didn't want to waste attribute points, he couldn't help but want to add some [Intelligence].

To put it bluntly, if the professor had even a little bit of martial arts skill and combat instinct, he could easily crush him and the Mouldy Crotch. The [Biochemist] class is too dominant in the early game. It's a class that combines tankiness, healing, intelligence, information sharing, AoE damage, and burst damage. In the hands of players, it might not be so obvious, but in the hands of NPCs, the bonus to [Intelligence] is extremely terrifying.

Dame Kelly's performance was mediocre. The Red Arrow Empire's style prioritizes pragmatism and basic aesthetics. The bio-beasts are also the type suitable for surprise attacks and assassins, similar to felines. They are neither cute nor eye-catching. Compared to Du Zexin's strong and cool mechanical armor as a "mechanic", it lacks a bit of class.

"Is it my turn next?" Li Aoz wondered expectantly.

The video shows bio-engineered beasts rushing down the mountainside, gradually moving towards the other side of the battlefield.

In fact, there's no need for people to look for the prototypes of the Four Nations.

Because none of them exist in reality; they are basically all creations of my meager historical perspective, fused together by Chakir.
