The rewards were high, and some people, seeing that the items in their hands were not only heavily Pollution but also not very useful, voluntarily chose to hand them over.

"Yes, so much at once. From the perspective of an ordinary Hidden One, these are definitely not good things."

Ye Lian grasped a ball, and her arm immediately began to develop small, pitted holes at a visible speed.

"I have trypophobia."

Soon my arm was covered in dents.

These pits don't spread quickly; you can suppress them briefly using your own power, and then the transformed parts will recover.

"For an ordinary, Hidden One with average mental health, using this thing once will take a long time for their arm to recover. And if it's used too many times, the pit might never disappear."

Ye Lian mobilized some of the spirits of the other Cannon Fodder Misses, forcibly increasing their power by 10 points, and her hands immediately and slowly recovered.

She began to drink large gulps of the Water of Purification sent from her original body.

Given the high level of Pollution they would be exposed to, the bottles even contained some blood drawn from Ye Qian No. 2.

"Actually, saliva would work too, but... I think I'll pass."

After taking a sip, you can no longer feel any Pollution in your body.

The positive electrode is directly connected to the top of the head.

Then Pollution items were placed on their laps, one on each foot.

Then connect the negative terminal, turn on the power, and the current instantly flows through your entire body.

"That's all there is to it."

The Water of Purification was incredibly effective; there was almost no pain.

But Ye Lian still felt the terrible changes in her body.

The voltage was adjusted to 200 volts, and it was almost entirely maintained by the restorative power of the Water of Purification.

At this moment, she began to guide the power of the blood and flesh Pollution into her entire body.

From the perspective of the other clones standing nearby, starting from Ye Lian's feet, her entire body gradually developed small pits, rising and falling as if it were alive.

The effects of the large amount of Water of Purification consumed earlier continued to resist the Pollution within.

"If I put these extraordinary items into the Water of Purification, will they become Pollution?"

Cannon Fodder Misses looked at the scene, thought for a while, and then shook her head.

That's unrealistic, because the power of supernatural items comes from Pollution.

If it can be Purification, it will probably render the item ineffective, which would be a net loss.

At this moment, Miss Ye Lian was quietly making her efforts.

An ordinary person's brain, after being subjected to such an electric current and Pollution, would certainly be unable to think. But because she was undergoing continuous repair, and with another body serving as an anchor, the entire process went exceptionally smoothly.

After more than 10 minutes, that feeling of breaking through the critical point finally arrived.

Not long after...

A powerful force suddenly surged from within the cells, and the pressure on the body instantly eased.

"It's a success."

She opened her eyes.

Because of the promotion, my body has developed a certain tolerance for Pollution.

Clenching my fist, I could deeply feel the power contained within it.

The name of this profession is "Limit Breaker".

[Phantom: The body moves like a phantom shadow, leaving afterimages in place. Speed increases instantaneously, and strength increases with speed.]

[Thunder Strike: Concentrates the Pollution Power within one's cells onto the skin, delivering a swift strike to the target. Those with Limit Breaker can Fusion a certain amount of spiritual influence into their power.]

[Limit Break: Instantly improves physical attributes, up to level 5. During the breakthrough, strength increases significantly, and agility increases moderately; the duration depends on the breakthrough level. Each level of breakthrough yields a more significant effect but also brings more negative effects to the body. The higher the breakthrough level, the shorter the duration. After the breakthrough ends, side effects will occur, resulting in consequences including but not limited to weakness and pain. Level 4 breakthroughs should not exceed 1 minute, as they may be life-threatening; level 5 breakthroughs are highly dangerous.]

[Aura: Creates an invisible aura around the body, producing negative effects on the target that are detrimental to combat, while slightly increasing the user's recovery ability.]

[Crisis Breakthrough (Profession Trait): If the body is severely injured, a certain strength boost will be granted.]

"This profession is just as its name suggests."

Those Limit Breaker through boundaries are those who transcend limits.

However, most people probably wouldn't use level 3 for the fifth-level breakthrough unless absolutely necessary, since level 4 would be life-threatening.

"If there's enough Water of Purification, wouldn't reaching level 5 be no problem?"

Ye Qian recalled that when they fought at school, one of her teammates was a key student who would suddenly increase his speed during battle, creating Phantom. If you didn't concentrate, you might even feel like he had teleported.

This basically confirms that the other party is Limit Breaker professional.

"Ye Lian should be considered my first body that I can fight with, right? It's a pity that it's a bit difficult to develop its abilities to be even stronger later on. In actual combat, it still depends on one's own skills."

After thinking it over, Ye Qian felt that she needed to learn a more powerful set of fighting techniques.

My current fighting skills have made me quite formidable, but I always feel there's something even better.

Thus, in the New Magic World, where the short-haired Miss World obtained her Mage identity to recruit high-level blacksmiths, a group of new clones of the World Group began their search.

The skills in that world are generally stronger, so perhaps we can find a green or higher skill that suits Ye Qian.

Next comes the advancement of other physical aspects.

Considering their own attributes, most of their bodies are still primarily focused on spirit, while some can choose to focus on intelligence.

As for other paths, we'll have to see if any suitable ones emerge later.

In fact, some of the Cannon Fodder Misses have relatively high other attributes, but because their numbers are pitiful, they are not given high priority for upgrading and promotion.

The choices are now more diverse, and sometimes they can be tailored to specific skills. For example, if you acquire a skill that enhances agility, you can choose to prioritize agility even if your agility attribute is low.

"We can add two more Weaver. Divination is very important. In case we encounter a force that strongly opposes divination, having more people will give us an advantage," Ye Qian thought to herself.

As for the other professions, her brows furrowed at first glance.

"Aren't these rituals a bit too outrageous?"

Even with Water of Purification, some of them are hard to say whether they can withstand it.

"Hmm, primary focus on finesse, secondary focus on agility, Shadowless One, that's a good choice."

Upon spotting a familiar profession, Ye Qian immediately decided to create a clone to improve her skills.

The main reason is that Luo Chen, who fought against him back then, was in this profession.

He created a terrifying illusion that was difficult for his enemies to fathom. If it weren't for his Mystic Thread, he would never have been able to defeat his opponent.

"Let Ye Xin break through."

Ye Xin's highest attribute is Spirit. Although Agility is relatively low, it is still acceptable overall.

If you're going to choose a secondary attribute, go for Intelligence; it won't waste your advantage.

Ye Xin's ability is Spirit Thread. After reaching LV20, her threads can precisely control the distance, which is actually less than 40 meters. However, after breaking through, it will definitely increase significantly.

The Shadowless One's power to create illusions, combined with the Spirit Thread, allowed this small, white-quality clone to completely overwhelm a bunch of green clones with its superior skills.

"Let's take a look at the ceremony... Hmm, it's alright."

The Shadowless One's rituals were conducted in the Dream Realm, where they were brainwashed by others, who used intense hypnosis to induce Dream Entry state and then guided them to commit suicide.

If, under hypnosis, the person involved in the ritual regains their senses, overcomes their inner demons, and does not end their own life, then they can achieve a breakthrough.

"Why does this feel like it was tailor-made for me?"

Ye Qian has a whole bunch of other bodies that she can use as anchors. She can try them one by one. If Ye Xin wants to understand herself, she can use other bodies to stimulate her. In this way, she can succeed without any major dangers.

Of course, it is still very difficult to do in practice. After all, Ye Qian's consciousness is a whole. How to make one part hypnotized without being affected by other parts can only rely on one's own experience.

Fortunately, she immediately tried, and with the help of Vier and her original self, she finally survived the dream.

A full hour later, Ye Xin broke through.

[Mist Illusion: A misty illusion that is etched into the target's mind, altering their perception. The effect depends on the user's mental state; due to the supplementary cultivation of intelligence, the realism of the illusion will be slightly enhanced.]

[Concealment: Interferes with the enemy's five senses, making one's attacks difficult to detect.]

[Lethargy Interference: Slows down the target's thought process; the effectiveness depends on the user's mental strength.]

[Shadowless (Class Trait): Reduces the user's presence while in illusionary state.]

"Yay!"

Seeing the three skills and one trait of this qualified professional, Ye Xin understood why Luo Chen was so difficult to deal with back then.

In reality, judging solely by destructive power, the Shadowless One is not a particularly strong class; its damage output should be far lower than most classes (but higher than some main tanks or main attackers).

Its true strength lies in the fog and its ability to conceal its movements and attacks.

Ye Xin immediately tried it on another body and found that she had indeed entered the same state as Luo Chen.

But...

The effects they produce are somewhat different.

"If I use an axe, my attack power seems to be far inferior to Luo Chen's. It looks like his secondary attribute might be strength."

Ye Xin discovered that her illusion itself could be more realistic in some details, but... its overall stability was not as good as Luo Chen's.

This is a profession that is difficult to control.

If they cannot perform well, their combat effectiveness will be reduced.

"Looks like I need to practice and develop more. Luo Chen is really skilled; at least his application of this profession is beyond what I, who just advanced, can match. But I can borrow spirit from other bodies. Although a lot of energy leaks out, the bonus from forcibly increasing it by ten or twenty points can completely make up for some of the control issues."

Ye Xin tested the Spirit Thread's abilities in their current state, and without a doubt, they were absolutely lethal in the Mist Illusion.

"As for Ye Xin No. 2, let's leave it as is. If there's no better one in the future, she can be promoted to Shadowless One."

Subsequently, Ye Qian promoted Ye Lan to the main sub-body class - Blood Warrior.

The main reason is that Ye Lan's mental attribute has been greatly weakened, while her strength and physique have been greatly enhanced, to the point that when these attributes are promoted to the main or secondary body profession, she can even get a success rate bonus.

The promotion ceremony for Blood Warrior is also simple and brutal: they are directly immersed in a corrosive pool of poison and have to endure until they are successfully promoted or die.

With Water of Purification, this process is effortless.

Ye Lan broke through easily.

Furthermore, Ye Lan's skill [Object Vibration (Green)] requires a lot of strength, making it a perfect match for her profession.

After choosing Agility as a minor, the Blood Warrior's abilities are as follows:

[Blood Burst: Upon attack, the energy contained within the blood is released, creating a violent explosion. The explosion's intensity depends on the user's own strength and the degree of Pollution.]

[Berserk Blood: Unleashes toxins in the blood, entering Berserk Blood state that greatly increases damage, but leaves the user feeling weak afterward. With Agility as a secondary skill, Berserk Blood will increase speed.]

[Constant State: In an extremely cold environment, Pollution in the blood are stimulated, causing the blood to move wildly and generating high temperatures.]

[Body Solidification: Under normal conditions, the skin and muscles of Blood Warrior possess an extremely strong structure that is difficult to damage. Blood can temporarily stop flowing, instantly coagulating into a high-strength block that resists violent impacts. It takes approximately 10 seconds to uncoagulate; prolonged coagulation may lead to death from oxygen deprivation.]

[Poison Pact (Class Trait): Blood Warrior have shorter lifespans than normal humans and possess greater physical destructive power.]

As for other advancements, such as the physical advancements of cannon fodder, even if one becomes Black Iron Rank cultivator, their strength is at most similar to that of most weaker Transcendent, so it's not very significant.

Chapter 193 Deceived

After Ye Lan, Alice and Little Soul were promoted to become the new Weaver.

Their ability types are also very suitable for focusing on intelligence and secondarily on dexterity, and they are not very suitable for frontline combat, which can be considered as strengthening Ye Qian's divination and combat capabilities.

Ye Qian's true form generally doesn't participate in divination, the purpose being to avoid being detected and located by the enemy. Therefore, the Weaver currently available are actually Vier, Alice, and Little Soul.

"Next is the final step: just find a bunch of Cannon Fodder Clone and upgrade them to main tank classes."

The average attributes of the cannon fodder are lower than those of the Core Group and the Combat Group, but there are a few whose attributes are particularly off. For example, their strength is extremely low, or their mental intelligence is very poor, but their resistance is high. In that case, they can be promoted to become World Caster with a main resistance and secondary body.

Ye Qian already knew about this profession; it was characterized by high defense and high health, and its ability to detect divination was particularly strong.

"Since there is a lack of anti-divination methods, I will increase the number of World Caster by a large margin."

I specifically searched among the Cannon Fodder Misses and finally found five such individuals.

After all of them were upgraded to LV20, Ye Qian began to promote them to higher levels.
