Improvement
His chosen target, of course, was Gerald's henchman from last night, the one Evil Spirit Possession that controlled the Beak Freak.
The other party is in danger!
And he's crazy, plus I have a grudge against him. Killing him is upholding justice, and I can also get some experience points along the way!
'Of course... after gaining experience points, I can't rush to advance my rank. Instead, I should focus on skills, passives, and attributes... This is not only a prerequisite for many rank advancements, but also because of the experience point penalty rules!'
Sulu discovered that the lower his rank, the more experience he gained when challenging opponents of equal, slightly weaker, or even stronger strength.
Once you advance in rank, the experience you gain will decrease significantly.
By now, perhaps slaughtering ordinary people no longer brings him much benefit.
Therefore, this requires him to keep his rank low as much as possible and improve other aspects.
Of course, when it comes to critical moments or life-or-death crises, you should do what needs to be done.
For example, this time, in order to pass on the legacy of the [Medium], he chose to advance to the second tier of [Occultist] and reaped a great harvest.
'But if I advance three more tiers, I'm afraid I'll gain fewer and fewer experience points... Besides, I'll need to adapt to a new profession.'
Most importantly, the choices we make next are crucial!
Starting as a [Occultist], your career path diverges. Generally speaking, it's best to advance to [Mystic Expert], as there's no barrier to reaching the Master level.
But Sulu happens to possess the professions of [Thaumaturge] and even [Planeswalker]!
This left him somewhat conflicted.
'While accumulating experience, I'll first search for the incomplete lineage of [Medium], especially the lineages of [Dream Master] and [Dimensional Walker]. If I find them, I'll pursue that path; if not, [Mystic Master] will suffice. I can always take it part-time!'
After breakfast, Sulu returned to the hotel and began to tally up the previous night's spoils.
Besides the professional information, Sulu returned the bag of Gold Dragon, identification documents, and even the revolver to Kira, keeping only the ' Sealing Card ' for himself.
At this moment, he let the other hand flow between his fingers, emitting a silvery light.
"I originally thought that ancient Mage needed a large area for making scrolls, and that they would inlay gemstones, but I never imagined that they could make them so... exquisite!"
The so-called ' Sealing Card ' is essentially a spellcasting scroll!
Sulu even suspected that it came from a high-ranking professional on the [Medium] path!
"It's a pity... after sealing the Evil Spirit, the playing cards seem to be useless. Kira initially wanted to trade me the card that sealed the Werewolf Gentleman Evil Spirit, but dream on!"
Such Curio, capable of easily vanquishing Evil Spirit, is naturally highly valued.
If I hadn't saved Kira before, and if the circumstances hadn't been special, the other party might not have agreed.
Sulu carefully put away the silver medal and then took out the Obsidian Pendant.
As you begin reading, experience points quickly appear.
This is Curio that contains information about the [Planeswalker] profession and has accumulated a large amount of experience.
At this moment, Sulu was like a mouse that had wandered into Mishan, Greed watching the changes in the Attribute Panel:
[XP+10]
[XP+10]
[XP+10]
Finally, the experience pool in the Attribute Panel rose all the way up, only stopping at a value of 550.
The analysis progress for [Planeswalker] is stuck at 22.3%, seemingly at a standstill, with very slow progress.
"As expected, legendary professions are indeed complex and full of mystery!"
Sulu recalled what he had seen; it was the orthodox [Planeswalker] advancement process, which was extremely complicated and involved the possibility of failure.
Once the Attribute Panel is parsed and you meet the corresponding conditions, you can immediately level up by spending experience points, with a 100% success rate – it's a completely different story.
With such a wealth of experience at his disposal, Sulu couldn't help but want to add more points.
After all, the thrill of boosting one's skills like cheating is addictive for anyone who tries it.
"However... even with skill level upgrades, a [Occultist]'s abilities still require personal training. For example, Kira's use of Spirit Pressure is far more skillful than mine..."
Sulu recalled the scene of Kira using Spirit Pressure and looked at the skill options.
"Soul Projection is the [Medium's ] primary skill, but in terms of boosting combat power, Spirit Pressure and Spirit Spike seem to be faster..."
At this point, a '+' sign appeared next to each of these skills, indicating that they could be upgraded.
"I'm planning to hunt down superhumans. I should focus on improving my combat strength first, and if there's any left, I'll improve my Soul Projection!"
Sulu quickly made a decision. "Upgrade the Spirit Spike level!"
This is [Medium's ] strongest single-target attack ability; it already has a LV2 version.
With a thought, the data on the Attribute Panel quickly appeared:
[Consumed 200 experience points... Spirit Spike level increased to LV3!]
[Spirit Spike LV3: Each time Spirit Spike is cast, gain a temporary bonus of +0.8 Spirit!]
"After the Spirit Spike comes the Soul Projection!"
[Consumed 300 experience points... Soul Projection level increased to LV3!]
[Soul Projection LV3: Increased affinity with spirits, increased perception of the Spirit World, and +0.4 to mental strength!]
In that instant, Sulu's spirit seemed to fly out of his body and sense a vast and boundless Spirit World.
It exists based on the real world and is closely connected to reality, like two parallel planes, one inhabited by life and the other by spirits.
Never before had Sulu felt such profound insight into the first layer of the Spirit World.
Not only that!
He also vaguely sensed the aura of the second Spirit World, which was the ' Mind World ' mentioned in Kira's notes!
This level has transcended the real world and instead connected with the mind of every Wisdom being!
However, something was still missing, preventing him from fully exploring and uncovering the truth.
"I'm still a little short, but I have a feeling that as long as my Soul Projection skill improves further, I'll definitely be able to enter the second level of the Spirit World!"
Sulu nodded firmly.
"It seems that skills might undergo a qualitative change after reaching LV4?"
"And the essence of the ancient tradition of [Medium] is to constantly explore the Spirit World, which is why [Soul Projection level 4] is a prerequisite for becoming a [Thaumaturge]?"
He speculated that the ancient Medium gained various kinds of knowledge while constantly exploring the Spirit World, and thus achieved advancement.
Even the essence of life has been sublimated, transforming into Spirit World life!
"There's a high probability... that the ancient tradition of [Medium] needs to be found in the Spirit World! Of course... this could also be incredibly dangerous!"
The dangers of the Spirit World are even more terrifying than those of the Dark Continent at the World Edge!
On the unexplored Dark Continent, danger is both visible and tangible.
But in the Spirit World, there is even more unspeakable terror!
It's even possible to crash directly into the Abyss or even Evil God!
