[Battle Roar] stackable layers increased to four, and it now carries a slight mental impact effect. [Earth Prison Technique] imprisonment duration extended, and it now applies a 3-second slow effect after the imprisonment ends. [Sandstorm Technique] the density and intensity of the sandstorm have been enhanced. [Thunder Flash] the original 15% movement speed boost is now a 30% movement speed boost.
The [Silencer] skill of the Shadow Priest also has an increased silence duration.
All other skills have seen significant improvements under the enhancement of [Omnipotent].
The increase in skill power means that in the future, when Ling Zhan faces enemies who have already completed their job advancement, he will not be at a disadvantage even in a direct exchange of skills.
Furthermore, the [Mana Controller] talent allows him to continue casting spells frantically on the battlefield, turning him into a living spell machine gun!
Looking at the descriptions on the status panel.
Hoo!
Ling Zhan let out a long, heavy breath.
Awesome!
Too awesome!
The system truly lives up to its name!
It was worth all the effort he put into conquering the college entrance exam secret realm.
The improvement of his innate talent is actually the most important thing for Ling Zhan.
This is because Ling Zhan has already made up his mind to walk the path of a Jobless Freelancer.
Only by following this path can he conquer any secret realm, regardless of any job restrictions in the future.
"As expected of a legendary treasure chest! The rewards didn't disappoint!"
Ling Zhan lay on his bed, satisfied, his mouth stretched wide in extreme happiness.
The rewards for the achievement task issued by the system this time were so generous that they left Ling Zhan stunned.
But this is for the best.
From now on, Ling Zhan will be even more determined to walk the path of a Jobless Freelancer.
"After having my phone off for so many days, it's been quite peaceful, but it's time to handle some business..."
Thinking this, Ling Zhan turned his phone on.
For the past few days, in order to avoid being harassed, Ling Zhan had been keeping a low profile and even kept his phone switched off.
After turning it on, Ling Zhan felt his decision had been the right one.
There were countless missed calls from unknown numbers.
Of course, there were also calls from his teachers and classmates.
On social media apps, there were countless strangers wanting to add him as a friend.
At the same time, his unread messages were 99+.
"Fame brings trouble."
Ling Zhan muttered to himself.
Ling Zhan did, however, provide a detailed explanation to his only best friend, Lei Feng, regarding why he had turned off his phone.
He also responded properly to his homeroom teacher, Qi Mu. This teacher was diligent and conscientious, always caring for every student; he was a good teacher.
After finishing his replies, a call suddenly came through.
It turned out to be the Dean of Academic Affairs at First High School.
The Dean didn't say much, just notifying him to come to the school in three days to discuss matters regarding his choice of university.
The Dean also gave him a word of caution.
Teachers from prestigious schools would be coming to interview outstanding graduates, and even though Ling Zhan was the top of the Nanzhou Province Trial Ranking, he should maintain a humble and gentle attitude.
To this advice, Ling Zhan nodded and agreed.
The reason the Dean gave this warning was that he was afraid Ling Zhan might have a conflict with those admissions teachers.
Especially the teachers from those prestigious combat academies.
They had very high standards and arrogant personalities.
For ordinary students, the attitude of those top combat academies was: "Come if you want, but we have to see if you're qualified enough first!"
For top-tier students, the attitude changed slightly: "Come to me, and I can let you learn higher-tier skills, meet stronger teammates, and further improve your combat level."
Finally, for the absolute top geniuses—those in the provincial top hundred—the attitude did a 180-degree turn: "Dear young masters and young ladies, hurry and come to my school!"
Although Ling Zhan had become the top of the Nanzhou Province Trial Ranking, in the eyes of others, the future potential of a Jobless Freelancer was very low.
Therefore, the teachers from those prestigious schools would likely hold varying opinions of Ling Zhan.
But it didn't matter.
Ling Zhan replied to the Dean, stating that he would definitely be there in three days.
Three days later.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Ling Zhan finished washing up and was just about to step out of his apartment complex.
Then, he heard a noisy commotion coming from the entrance.
Looking down from his window, he saw it.
Holy crap.
A huge crowd was blocking the entrance to the complex!
Everyone was holding either a phone or a video camera; they were clearly a group of gossip-hungry reporters.
The residents of the complex were stunned by the situation.
After asking around, they learned from the crowd that Ling Zhan, who lived in the complex, had actually captured the top spot on the Nanzhou Province Trial Ranking!
Oh my god!
How did we only just find out?
The aunts and uncles were all bewildered.
The media grabbed every resident they saw to ask questions.
"Do you know Ling Zhan?"
"As a neighbor of the top scorer, what is your opinion of him?"
"Does Ling Zhan have a girlfriend?"
"Does Ling Zhan hide erotic books in his room?"
Aunts and uncles: ???
Comrade reporter, that question of yours is very problematic.
"I'll have to jump off the building and climb over the wall."
Ling Zhan decided decisively not to go through the front gate.
If he went through the front gate, he would definitely be gawked at like a monkey.
After hooking a grappling line to his window, he slid down from the tenth floor along the rope.
For ordinary people, even with a rope, they wouldn't dare move at such a height.
But for a combat professional like Ling Zhan, his physical attributes were far superior to the average person; a ten-story drop was easy.
He only chose to slide down the rope to minimize the noise.
He climbed over the wall, left the complex, put on a baseball cap and a mask, and walked quickly toward the school.
At this moment.
Yundong City No. 1 High School.
The spacious office was packed with people.
The leaders and teachers of First High School were there to host, their expressions cautious but filled with excitement.
First High School had truly made a name for itself this time.
Among the guests sitting in the office were several teachers from the top ten prestigious combat academies!
At this time, the teachers from each combat academy were smiling and greeting each other politely.
Only the admissions officers from those ten prestigious academies held their noses high, looking extremely arrogant.
The reason the large conference room was full was, of course, that these teachers had brought students along to help with chores.
In prestigious academies, there was a "credit system."
For some students whose grades weren't very stable, they had to help their teachers more often to accumulate credits.
Some students could enter secret realms to help teachers collect materials in exchange for credit rewards.
These teachers in charge, who went to the high schools of the provincial top hundred geniuses every year to recruit, naturally needed students to follow along and help out.
Qi Mu, as the homeroom teacher for Ling Zhan and Sun Ze, was naturally present.
Sun Ze had also arrived early at the conference room, following his teacher.
But Sun Ze's expression was extremely smug.
However, suddenly.
When he thought about Ling Zhan coming over later.
And that his own spotlight would be stolen, he felt a bit sullen.
Originally...
The attention of the masses was supposed to be all his.
But now, the spotlight had been stolen by Ling Zhan.
