Major Attribute Boost, Go Gin Appears (Thanks to Qidian Bookworm for the 10,000 Book Coin Tip!)

Tang Zheng's pupils reflected the crimson light projected from the Magma Sea. He understood all too well the significance of the "Transcendence Technique" professional skill.

"Isn't this just a different kind of Class Reset?"

In the game "YGGDRASIL", there are many skills and spells that require Experience Points to use. Once the Player runs out of stored experience points, these skills and spells become unusable.

Tang Zheng recalled that, under normal circumstances, if Player wanted to Class Reset, they would need to do so by dying and being downgraded.

However, this has a drawback: the level lost will be deducted first from the High-tier Class or the last profession the Player upgraded.

This makes it extremely difficult to reset your early-game class through death; otherwise, how would they sell premium items?

However, Tang Zheng can actively choose to drop a level in his profession.

"I initially thought the ' Transcendence Technique ' skill was just an alternative casting method to increase survivability and follow-up attacks, but I never expected it to be so groundbreaking."

"But."

Looking at the experience bar [Experience Bar: 1/510000], he was surprised to find that the value had been reduced to one point after the level drop. He had thought that only the experience consumed would be deducted, but he did not expect it to be reset to zero.

To be precise, only 1 point of experience remains.

"So, is this considered a different kind of skill penalty for losing skill levels?"

Tang Zheng pondered to himself, thinking that this was indeed Special Class with an even higher difficulty level than the [Valkyrie] Job Advancement.

"[Ninja] Are there still 2 levels?"

"Attribute Table!"

Tang Zheng looked thoughtful, a thought suddenly forming in his mind.

[Ability Table]

Innate Talent: [Player]

Overall Level: 48

[Experience Bar: 471356/510000]

Skill points: 66

(PS: Specific ability information has been updated in the comments section)

[Attribute Table]

Justice Value: 23 [Neutral]

Magic Defense: 295→525 (40%)

Combined Resistance: 445→465 (36%)

Specificity: 440→670 (52%)

Total: 362%

(The first number does not include the stats for the [Ninja] and [Magic Overlord] classes.)

Even without looking at these increased figures.

Tang Zheng could also feel the surging magic and power within his body at this moment; just one Special Class had brought about a comprehensive upgrade and enhancement.

"Power of Magic Transcendence" further increases MP, magic attack, and Magic Defense by an additional 130 points.

"Based on current information, after a level drop, skill points remain unchanged, but the stat increases for the [Ninja] class have decreased."

Tang Zheng noticed that each of the four basic attributes on the panel had dropped by 15 points.

There are still a few pieces of information that cannot be confirmed.

If a profession is completely removed from the game, will it affect the disappearance of skills or passive abilities?

These are the two issues that Tang Zheng cares about most right now. That's why he initially chose to consume [Ninja] levels.

The reason for choosing the Mid-tier Class [Sword Saint] and [Shaman Adept] was because these two issues were taken into consideration.

The [Sword Saint]'s level is too high; using the Sword Saint for experimentation would be a huge waste of Experience Points.

[Shaman Adept] is only level one, but it is related to the skill "Totem Possession". Tang Zheng can ignore other things, but the ability of "Body Armament" has cost him a lot of effort.

If the [Shaman Adept] is lost, the skills will also disappear, and there will be no one to blame but yourself.

[Ninja] has a low level, so the experience cost for experiments is also low. Even if it's lost, you can find Tia and Tina to get another one.

As for Ogre Zero, his grave is probably overgrown with weeds by now, just a skeleton. Even Seventh-Tier Resurrection Magic might not be enough to revive him.

"Fortunately, my level isn't high yet, so I can experiment a bit." Tang Zheng thought to himself, still feeling a pang of heartache.

Swish!

Tang Zheng reached out and grabbed at the air. A half-person-high crimson fish scale was taken out of the Item Box. It was the fish scale of the Sun Anglerfish.

As Sun Anglerfish with Fire Resistance, it's perfect for testing the next skill.

"Words of Elemental Ruin-- "

Tang Zheng first flicked his wrist, throwing the enormous fish scale into the air, then used the passive ability of [Mad Wizard] to transform the Third-Tier Lightning Ball into Fireball:

"Fireball!"

Thump!

In an instant.

Before Tang Zheng appeared a phantom image of Fire Dragon, its entire body engulfed in flames and measuring about three meters in size.

Magic is surging!

A dazzling crimson Fireball condensed in the mouth of this miniature Fire Dragon, and then spewed out.

A streak of red light pierced the sky.

It hit the fish scale that was thrown into the air with pinpoint accuracy.

Boom!

Flames exploded, and the fish scales, which originally possessed Fire Resistance or were even nullified, were instantly burned to ashes by the flames released by this Fireball.

The whole process looks slow, but it's actually completed in the blink of an eye, not much different from normal spellcasting speed.

"Is that Fire Dragon?"

Tang Zheng regained his senses and stared blankly at the dissipating phantom of the Fire Dragon:

"No, this image, which is closer to a lizard, is Salamander, the fire salamander?"

This is no ordinary phantom; it represents Elemental Spirit, one of the Four Elements!

Water Elemental Spirit - Undine.

Elemental Spirit - Salamander.

Wind Elemental Spirit - Sylph.

Earth Elemental Spirit Gnome.

"Using Elf that represents the element to ignore the resistances of this system is quite fitting. It's a pity the cooldown is 100 hours, so it can't be used as a regular skill."

Calm down from your surprise.

"The effect is very strong; if used unexpectedly, it can easily severely injure or even kill the opponent."

Tang Zheng continued to look at [Magic Overlord]'s trump card skill; just from the information alone, one could tell how terrifying this skill was.

"Cali..."

Tang Zheng was chanting softly, preparing to unleash the magic, but he stopped abruptly after uttering only a few words. His gaze furrowed slightly, and he remained silent for a long while.

"Who are you."

The illusory image of flowing water condensed from Tang Zheng's left side, transforming into a female figure with flowing, wave-like hair, a graceful upper body, and water splashing around her lower body.

"You are fire."

The fire lizard's figure, which had just disappeared, reappeared before him, its burning fiery wings gently flapping.

"You are the wind."

A semi-transparent Whirlwind phantom materialized like a storm on the right, gradually coalescing into the shape of a humanoid Elf with two pairs of wind-attribute wings.

"You're dirt."

A gigantic, brown rock-like phantom appeared behind Tang Zheng, transforming into Rock Giant with scarlet eyes.

Four illusory figures of varying sizes surrounded Tang Zheng. Although they were all illusory, they exuded a suffocating and unsettling pressure that continuously spread and permeated the air.

Even the Berserk Magma Sea below seemed to be affected and calmed down.

"You are nothingness."

The four illusory figures rose up with a roar, collided above Tang Zheng's head, and a dazzling light appeared, merging together.

"At the end of the world, everything will return to chaos, until you create again."

Tang Zheng uttered his last prayer.

The four phantoms representing Elemental Spirit merged completely together, becoming ethereal, neither black nor white, but a deep phantom with flowing starlight, their hands crossed in front of their chests.

"Well..."

A faint sigh rang in Tang Zheng's ears.

The next instant...

Half an hour later.

Tang Zheng sat expressionlessly on the edge of the red cliff, staring silently at the lava below that had vanished dozens of meters high.

"This skill is a bit scary."

Tang Zheng inhaled the heat wave in the air; the skill's effect was as described.

All elemental magic is unusable and ceases to exist, whether it is the normal four elements or the derived elements such as lightning and sand.

Even the Composite Elemental Summoning has become completely ineffective.

Those unaffected include divine and negative attributes, which are not classified as belonging to the four elemental attributes.

Elements like the non-elemental "Magic Arrow" are not affected, but they can no longer be converted into other elements through the [Mad Wizard]'s passive ability.

However, elements related to water, such as "Hot Spring" and "Silver Knight Lance," will be directly ineffective as derivative elements of the Earth Elemental.

Interestingly...

The skill "Golden Arrow" in the [Five Elements Master] class was not affected by this.

"The Five Elements Master's professional system is based on the five major attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It seems that the 'metal' attribute here is an independent attribute, rather than a 'metal' derived from the Earth Elemental."

Tang Zheng seemed to be deep in thought. The complexity of the occupational structure in "YGGDRASIL" was indeed far beyond his imagination.

Think about it carefully.

It even has Cthulhu System, so it's not surprising that it has such detailed capabilities.

In conclusion

"Kash" is definitely a trump card that can deliver the final blow, but it also requires analysis of the opponent's power system; otherwise, it is not as useful as "Words of Elemental Ruin".

"Kash" is only very effective against Ainz Bone Lord.

This is somewhat similar to "The Goal of All Life is Death"—powerful as it is, its effectiveness is limited against opponents who are not elemental spellcasters.

Next.

Tang Zheng spent another day familiarizing himself with the newly added powers and various passive abilities, except for the "Magic Master" passive ability, which he had absolutely no clue about.

The other passive abilities have been fully understood.

The speed at which "Mana's Blessing" restored magic power far exceeded Tang Zheng's expectations.

Previously, his mana regeneration rate was one point every ten minutes, but now, in non-combat situations, the mana regeneration rate has been reduced to one point per minute.

Tang Zheng was startled.

The current MP is 523 points, and it took less than nine hours to fully recover. Compared to the previous recovery speed, this is a qualitative leap.

Of course, he can't compare to Bone Lord, whose magic power is over 1900 points. It only takes six hours for Ainz Ooal Gown to fully recover, but for Tang Zheng, this is already a huge leap forward.

Ultimately, aside from the invalid professions converted from [Genius], he only has two spellcaster professions.

"There are still three years left, we've got plenty of time!"

Tang Zheng stood on the edge of the cliff in the Lava Zone, straightened his back, stretched his arms out and yawned, his eyes gazing into the distance with a fiery light.

He currently possesses two Special Class constructs.

[Cursed Knight] · [Valkyrie]

[Mad Wizard] · [Magic Overlord]

There weren't many clues after that, but experience was still the most important factor.

Upper Water Month.

January 12th.

Five days have passed since the 8th left the Royal Capital.

I spent two days searching for the Zern Clan in the Abelion Hills, and another day in the Lava Zone familiarizing myself with the power of growth.

Tang Zheng first returned to the "Free Will" team to confirm the adventurers' location and the distance to "Ye Yiwu'er".

He then used Teleportation magic to return to Abelion Hills.

This time, they did not go directly to the territory of the underground caves and pits inhabited by the Zern race.

There are still two days left until the previously mentioned three days, so there's no rush. The strongest member of the Zern race is the so-called "King".

There is no Zern Clan among the Ten Demi-Human Heroes, so the strength of this "King" is probably at the level of Fourth-Tier Magic.

In the lush, dense forest.

The chirping of birds and the chirping of insects echoed throughout the forest.

Although it was still winter, the Abelion Hills, in the Holy Kingdom, had a much more pleasant temperature due to its geographical proximity to the sea and the mountain range to the north.

The entire Abelion Hills was not affected by the cold winter temperatures, making it an extremely suitable place to live.

It is precisely because of this that a large number of Demi-Human Species and Heteromorphic Species have been able to survive here.

As Troll with thick skin and tough flesh.

Gorkin is highly adaptable to the climate, but he doesn't particularly like the Empire's winters, as the cold temperatures can negatively impact the Warrior ' movements.

Several large, broken trees lay collapsed on the ground, with scattered branches and leaves everywhere.

A bloody smell filled the air.

A great battle had clearly just taken place here; even with the lingering smell of blood, no wild beasts or monsters dared to approach the forest.

Gogine sat on the broken tree trunk, his rough hands vigorously rubbing a sharpened twig together, using the ancient method of fire-making by friction to start a campfire.

The thick, heavy spiked club, an "Enchanted Metal Rod," lay beside him, leaning against the tree trunk.

It was stained with specks of blood.

Upon closer inspection, many of the spikes attached to the front of the mace have developed chips or even been worn down.

This is the result of prolonged fighting, leaving behind weapon damage from a lack of careful maintenance.

Go Jin stared at the large elk that was gradually roasting over the campfire, tore off a piece of venison with his rough hands, and ate it in large bites.

A trickle of blood splattered between the closed teeth.

Actually, it would be more convenient to eat them raw, but Gorkin was not an ignorant Troll. His long-term luxurious life in the Empire had long since made him abandon the Troll habit of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

A wisp of white mist drifted through the distant dense forest, causing only a few leaves to tremble slightly.

Gorkin chewed on the roasted meat in his mouth, continuing to stare at the deer on the campfire, but his eyes turned colder. "You've been following me for two days already. You'd better get lost before I get angry!"

A cold voice echoed through the forest.

The air grew still, broken only by the crackling sound of the flames burning through the leaves.
