The Class Acquisition Method Opposite to the Game

On the arena.

Gazef and Brain's battle grew increasingly fierce. Martial Arts flashed continuously across their bodies as they were activated.

Meanwhile.

Information kept appearing on Tang Zheng's Attribute Panel.

"Skill discovered: Weakness Detection." Requires a Basic Class in the warrior category. Current conditions not met—

"Genius" Class activated. Conversion successful. Learning conditions met. Consume 1 Skill Point to learn?

"Skill discovered: Instant Reflex." Requires a Basic Class in the warrior category. Current conditions not met—

"Genius" Class activated. Conversion successful. Learning conditions met. Consume 1 Skill Point to learn?

"Skill discovered: Ability Up." Requires a Basic Class in the warrior category. Current conditions not met—

"Genius" Class activated. Conversion successful. Learning conditions met. Consume 1 Skill Point to learn?

Bang! Bang!

The sound of weapons colliding rang throughout the arena.

"How incredible!"

"Too powerful! No wonder he effortlessly defeated all those opponents earlier."

"He can actually fight the genius Swordsman Brain to this extent. That man called Gazef is amazing."

"Hey, hey, I can't even see their battle anymore."

"..."

The stands had originally been fairly quiet, but as Gazef and Brain displayed their brilliant offense and defense, the atmosphere completely erupted.

Tang Zheng was equally excited, but he was not watching the arena. He was watching the information appearing on his Attribute Panel.

"Learning skills by watching others use them and then consuming Skill Points... This method of acquiring skills is truly unexpected."

Tang Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.

He had originally thought that he, like the people of the New World, would have to learn skills on his own before he could acquire them.

At this moment.

What truly stirred Tang Zheng was the ordinary Class "Genius." It was just as he had anticipated—in fact, it was even better than he had initially guessed.

Looking at the prompts on his Attribute Panel, Tang Zheng considered which skills to acquire. After all, he only had three Skill Points.

Huh?

Suddenly, Tang Zheng noticed a prompt on the Attribute Panel.

"Skill discovered: Quick Slash." Requires the Intermediate Class "Sword Saint." Current conditions not met—

Prerequisite Class "Genius (Warrior)" already owned. Consume 3 Skill Points to learn?

Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this information.

The Intermediate Class "Sword Saint"?

Tang Zheng subconsciously glanced at the arena. This skill seemed to have come from Brain, who had gained the upper hand.

If he remembered correctly, Brain possessed three Classes: Warrior (Basic), Sword Expert (Intermediate), and Sword Saint (Intermediate).

The prompt on the Attribute Panel should have been provided by Brain.

What Tang Zheng was considering now was not the issue of the Intermediate Class "Sword Saint." Instead, it reminded him of something else he had overlooked.

In the game "YGGDRASIL," Players had to acquire the relevant Class before they could learn that Class's skills. In the New World, however, the situation was precisely the opposite.

The people of this world had to learn a Class's skills first before they could acquire the relevant Class. In other words, there were no so-called prerequisites.

For example, in the game, the High-Tier Class "Ninja" required a level of at least 60 to learn. In the New World, however, there was no level requirement.

As long as someone learned the skills of the "Ninja" Class, they could acquire that Class. The Ninja sisters of the Adamantite-ranked Adventurer group [Blue Rose] were an example of this.

If he learned the skill "Quick Slash" now, could he indirectly acquire the Intermediate Class "Sword Saint"?

If he succeeded.

Tang Zheng would have learned another way to acquire a Class.

Moreover, compared with touching the equipment and weapons of different Classes, acquiring a Class by obtaining its skills had far greater advantages and was much more precise.

This was especially true when it came to constructing Classes.

Intermediate Classes aside, acquiring High-Tier Classes would suddenly become much simpler.

As for Special Classes?

This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he shook his head slightly.

Let alone Special Classes—even among the people of the New World, those capable of mastering High-Tier Classes were probably as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Although Special Classes also belonged to the High-Tier category, they were completely different from High-Tier, Intermediate, and Basic Classes. In "YGGDRASIL," they required the fulfillment of prerequisite conditions before they could be acquired.

There was practically no way to exploit a loophole here!

In the game, every level-100 Player might have been able to acquire multiple High-Tier Classes, but most could only acquire a single Special Class.

Its harsh requirements were clear to see!

"Ah!!"

"Whoa! Come on, Brain!"

"..."

The cheers grew even louder, bringing Tang Zheng back to his senses. He turned his gaze toward the arena below.

Without him realizing it!

Under Brain's storm-like barrage of attacks, Gazef had already begun retreating step by step. The situation seemed to indicate that Brain was about to achieve Victory.

Tang Zheng's breathing paused as he stared intently at the arena. He also wanted to see whether the result of this match would be the same as he remembered.

In this high-frequency clash.

Gazef's retreating foot seemed to lose its footing, and he suddenly stumbled.

At that moment!

Brain stepped forward swiftly, apparently intending to end the battle in that instant.

However.

The next moment, Brain's body suddenly stiffened. Then, as if no longer under his control, he flew backward and crashed onto the arena floor.

The excited cheers from the audience abruptly stopped.

Tang Zheng's current strength was obviously insufficient to see what had happened in that brief moment. There were definitely not many people in the entire audience who could clearly see the process.

However!

Tang Zheng's gaze shifted toward the Attribute Panel.

"Skill discovered: Fourfold Slash of Light." Requires a warrior-type Class. Current conditions not met—

"Genius" Class activated. Conversion successful. Learning conditions met. Consume 1 Skill Point to learn?

Tang Zheng's expression eased. It seemed that history had indeed unfolded exactly as he remembered.

In the Royal Tournament, Gazef had achieved final Victory with the skill "Fourfold Slash of Light" that he had developed himself!

Whoosh—

Clap, clap, clap!!

After a brief silence, the entire arena was filled with enthusiastic cheers and applause.

"Gazef!!!"

"Gazef!!!"

"Gazef!!!"

"..."

One roar after another rang into the sky.

Tang Zheng swept his gaze across the surrounding figures, all of them flushed and visibly excited. He slowly exhaled, then looked at the Attribute Panel and thought, Learn the skill "Quick Slash."

He wanted to test whether he could indirectly acquire a "Class" through Job Skills.

Besides.

Because the ordinary Class "Genius" could not provide any attribute bonuses, he currently needed to acquire a combat-oriented Class as well.

With "Genius" granting him the ability to convert Basic Classes, he could still afford the margin for error of an Intermediate Class.
