Divine Proficiency Evolution

"God-Tier · Proficiency Evolution"

Oh!

So this was a class advancement ceremony in another world.

It felt like power was surging up from within my body!

Boom!

The dark clouds in the sky churned, gathering overhead as fierce winds howled. Faint lightning slithered through the clouds! The entire sky had gone completely dark!

So this was a class advancement ceremony.

It really was quite spectacular. It even had that fantasy feel to it!

Like Lu Cang, Kumiloni raised her head to look upward.

"My, my... this is quite rare."

Sensing the unrest of the elements, Iz sat up from the ground. She first glanced at Kumiloni, who was presiding over the class advancement ceremony, then looked at the churning clouds overhead, a bright smile appearing on her face.

The temperature plummeted!

Winterlike cold instantly blanketed everything in a layer of frost!

Kumiloni's ring glimmered faintly, and she took out a thick coat and draped it over Lu Cang.

"We can't do anything to help with the class advancement ceremony itself, but you won't be in any danger. Focus on sensing it. Try to control the power of the elements."

Lu Cang followed Kumiloni's instructions.

Please.

I hope I'm not some idiot like Lu Mingfei who can't sense anything at all...

Lu Cang closed his eyes.

Yet after he closed them, the world did not grow dim.

Instead, the elements made it more vivid.

The freezing cold was the element of ice.

The invisible currents were the element of wind.

The scorching firelight was the element of fire.

The heavy, earthy aura was soil and earth.

This was probably what I was supposed to sense.

Lu Cang let his mind follow the flow of the elements and slightly raised his hand...

The countless flickering flames obeyed his command, gathering in his palm.

Whoosh!

Lu Cang opened his eyes again.

A ball of flame had formed in his hand.

Iz's eyes lit up at the sight, and her smile grew wider.

Kumiloni covered her little mouth as well.

Bang!

As the flames gathered, the magic circle beneath his feet dissipated.

Yet Lu Cang could also feel a power flowing through his body that he had never sensed before.

Could this be...

Mana?

Holding the dancing flames in his hands, Lu Cang looked up at Kumiloni. "Does this mean I successfully advanced my class?"

It felt a little too easy.

Kumiloni smiled. "Mm, very successfully."

"Lu Cang, you have quite a talent for magic. You might only be a little worse than Iz."

"It seems making you a mage was the right choice. Perhaps you'll become a great mage someday."

Oh?

Only a little worse than Iz?

That didn't sound like a very flattering description, even though he had a good personality and gave off a decent impression.

But only a little worse than a level 5 mage.

That sounded pretty ordinary.

Still...

Lu Cang sensed a hazy mist appearing within his mind.

The mist swirled together, forming a special symbol that was inscribed within his body.

[Each time your class levels up by 1, you can obtain one talent effect and evolve it into a god-tier talent]

[Current—Mage: Level 1]

[Obtained Talent: Proficiency Mastery >> "God-Tier · Proficiency Evolution"]

It was here!

A unique talent!

It seemed he really was a little different from ordinary people.

As a transmigrator who had been suddenly and inexplicably chosen to come to this world, it was understandable for him to be somewhat extraordinary.

However, Kumiloni's next words came with a smile. "Now that you've completed your class advancement, feel what talent you've awakened."

Huh...?

Wasn't I the only one with a talent?

Counting on her fingers, Kumiloni said, "Maybe it'll be a very rare talent. You might even have the rare dual talents."

But Kumiloni suddenly realized something and hurriedly added, "Ah, it's fine even if your awakened talent isn't very powerful."

"Even an ordinary talent like Proficiency Mastery can have plenty of room for growth!"

"There are many ways to grow stronger. Iz will always find a way."

"Of course, it's fine if you don't want to tell us about your talent. Talents are your trump cards, after all. But if we know what your talent is, Iz can give you more targeted training."

"Don't worry. We'll keep it secret for you."

Were they trying to keep me from feeling disappointed?

They really were a good bunch.

But wasn't that line about "an ordinary talent like Proficiency Mastery" a little too hurtful?

Was it really that ordinary? It had become the most typical example right from the start.

It felt like it had turned into some commonplace talent that everyone had.

Lu Cang answered softly, "Proficiency Mastery."

If it was that ordinary, then it didn't matter if I revealed it.

Besides, he could gain one talent every level.

Once he reached level 100, he would have a hundred god-tier talents.

Revealing just one talent now was hardly the same as exposing everything about himself.

No, the level cap might not necessarily be level 100.

He really wanted to ask Kumiloni what the highest level in this world was, but that question felt far too awkward.

For someone born and raised in this world, even a three-year-old child should know such common knowledge.

If an eight-year-old did not know, it would seem extremely strange.

Having just arrived in this world, Lu Cang did not want to appear suspiciously abnormal.

He needed another way to ask, one that would let him learn the level cap without revealing that he lacked even basic common sense.

Mm, he could ask what level the strongest mage in this world was. That way, he could also infer the level cap.

Iz said, "Proficiency Mastery?"

"That's a good talent. Mastering spells faster means becoming a high-level mage faster."

"Do you want to learn magic now?"

He had originally wanted to use the opportunity to ask about levels, but once Iz said that, the question was instantly thrown to the back of his mind.

Lu Cang nodded excitedly.

Magic.

Who wouldn't get excited upon hearing that word? Anyone who could remain calm at the thought of casting magic had to be a fake transmigrator—someone so sexually frigid that they could not get hard even with a naked beautiful girl standing before them.

"I do!"

Iz put on a thoughtful expression. "Mm... for a beginner, your first spell..."

"Let's learn a cool lightning spell."

"A first-tier lightning spell, Lightning Strike Technique."

Izpalut swiftly raised his hand!

Boom!

A pillar of lightning crashed down with a roar!

In an instant, it blasted a massive tree that would take two people to encircle into charred remains.

Lu Cang's eyes shone!

Magic!

After being in this world for so long, this was the first time he had seen Iz use magic!

Lightning Strike Technique?

So strong!

A first-tier spell that even he could learn had directly turned a tree as tall as a four-story building and as wide as two people could encircle into smoldering charcoal.

"I want to learn it!"

"Iz, how can I learn Lightning Strike Technique?"

Iz said, "Hehe~"

"The first thing you need to learn if you want to study magic... is..."

Izpalut pulled a book with a purple cover from his robe.

"Read magic books."

Hearing that answer,

Lu Cang froze where he stood.

Read... books?

Wait, was this the legendary theory-based learning? No! Couldn't magic be learned just by putting in a point with a ding?
