Crazy Skill Point Allocation! Tier 7 Spell: Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath!

Thud, thud!

As he was thinking, a knock suddenly came from the door.

Lin Yi got up and opened it.

He saw Zhang Shan standing outside, holding a box in his arms.

Seeing Lin Yi open the door, Zhang Shan walked in, panting heavily, and set down the box he had been carrying.

It landed with an incredibly dull thud.

"A'Yi, I didn't see you in the Leveling Zone, and you weren't at the Dungeon entrance either!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"So what if you only awakened a Common Profession?"

"Is that enough to make you this depressed?"

As he spoke, Zhang Shan wiped away his sweat, opened the box, and took out everything inside.

"These are the Leveling Potions and Health and Mana Potions my old man bought for me before. Mana potions are useless to me, so I gave them all to you."

"I split half the health potions with you too."

"Besides that, there are three Skill Point Scrolls in here. Crush them, and you'll get 3 Skill Points. Use them however you want!"

"Oh, and let me tell you something. Your brother here ended up awakening a Rare Profession—the Knight of Light!"

"For the sake of all those times you let me copy your homework and helped me cheat over the past three years, how about I take you leveling?"

"I'll pull the monsters, and you deal damage. We won't hire a Healer—I can hold them off myself! We'll split the experience evenly, so stop moping around at home!"

Looking at what Zhang Shan had brought and listening to his words, Lin Yi felt warmth rise in his heart.

This was a true brother!

Zhang Shan's family was not particularly well-off either.

Although his father was a Combat Professioner, he was among the most ordinary kind.

These three Skill Point Scrolls were probably half of what this guy had for himself.

He was really generous!

Lin Yi took the Skill Point Scrolls from the box, stuffed them back into Zhang Shan's hands, and cursed with a smile. "Who the hell told you I was moping?"

"And keep these Skill Point Scrolls for yourself. I don't need them!"

"I'm not giving up on leveling. I'm just holding back for something big!"

Lin Yi spent more than ten minutes persuading the half-dubious Zhang Shan to leave. Who knew that as soon as Zhang Shan left, someone knocked on the door again.

When he opened the door, Lin Yi saw another young man in a courier uniform holding a box. The man smiled and asked, "Is this Lin Yi's home?"

"You have a delivery!"

Lin Yi said, "I didn't buy anything."

The courier continued, "It's for you. The sender is named Jiang Ya."

Jiang Ya's pretty face surfaced in Lin Yi's mind—usually icy and carrying a touch of tsundere pride.

Opening the box, Lin Yi found it filled with high-grade alchemy potions and advanced mana and health recovery potions. Most importantly, he even saw more than ten Experience Bonus Scrolls.

Each of those scrolls probably cost several hundred Great Xia Coins. As expected of a Little Rich Woman.

What Lin Yi did not know was that Jiang Ya had agonized over this matter for seven whole days.

The first day she saw Lin Yi leave school looking despondent, she had already planned to visit him and say something.

But the Eldest Young Lady's pride, along with the cold persona she had maintained all this time, kept her from lowering her head.

In the end, although she did not come in person, her feelings still arrived.

Lin Yi gladly accepted the box.

It seemed that the friendship they had built over three years as classmates ran far deeper than any urge to compete.

After seeing off the courier, Lin Yi opened the box again, only to find a sheet of paper tucked beneath the rows of potions and elixirs.

It seemed as though whoever placed the paper there did not want Lin Yi to see it at all.

Lin Yi took out the paper and turned it over, revealing a line of elegant handwriting.

"Don't be too upset. If you need anything, come find me."

There was only that one sentence.

But Lin Yi could imagine how many times Jiang Ya had crossed things out and reorganized her wording before finally writing those words.

After sorting and putting away the items Zhang Shan and Jiang Ya had sent him, Lin Yi opened his status panel.

[Lin Yi]

[Specialization: Fire]

[Profession Skills: Energy Saving Spellcasting (Passive), Quick Chant (Passive), Fireball (Active)]

Looking at his balance of over six hundred thousand Skill Points, Lin Yi took a deep breath.

The Skill Points accumulated over the past seven days were simply terrifying!

No more words!

Deep Blue, add points!

Lin Yi opened Fireball's skill panel and began allocating points like mad!

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!

The notification chimes for successful skill upgrades rang continuously beside Lin Yi's ears, while Fireball on the panel kept flashing with the radiance of advancement!

The flames grew ever fiercer, giving off streams of golden flowing light!

Awesome!

This was too awesome!

The sensation of upgrading a skill by dumping points into it at light speed, like riding a rocket, was truly the most wonderful experience in the world!

[500 Skill Points consumed. Your Fireball has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Flame Burst!]

[2,000 Skill Points consumed. Your Flame Burst has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Triple Flame Spear!]

[5,000 Skill Points consumed. Your Triple Flame Spear has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Blazing Storm!]

[100,000 Skill Points consumed. Your Molten Flame Demon has advanced. You have obtained a new spell: Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath!]

More than ten minutes later.

As Lin Yi continued allocating points.

The skills on his skill panel had long since become utterly different.

The once-unremarkable Fireball, after receiving more than a hundred thousand Skill Points.

Had already advanced to Tier 7!

The entire room grew scorching hot.

Lin Yi felt an unprecedented wave of searing heat sweep across his body.

It was as if every limb and bone had been bathed in the most terrifying, most blazing golden flames between heaven and earth.

Yet those flames did not harm him in the slightest!

Instead, he felt that he now possessed an incredibly terrifying affinity with the Fire Element between heaven and earth!

He only needed to give the command.

And these most violent, destructive elements would erupt together, burning his enemies to ashes!

Lin Yi checked what the next advanced spell would be.

[Eighth Tier: Fire Spirit Incarnation]

[Skill Points Required for Advancement: 500,000!]

Lin Yi clicked his tongue. The Skill Point cost of later skill advancements was already nearly astronomical.

No wonder Lin Yi had heard that only those super old monsters above Seventh Turn or Eighth Turn in the world could possibly cast spells approaching Forbidden Spell level.

Without such a long span of time, it would be difficult to accumulate such an enormous number of Skill Points.

Yet Lin Yi had spent only a single week walking nearly the entire path those supreme mages had taken in their lifetimes!

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi shifted his attention to his other two skills.

[Energy Saving Spellcasting] and [Quick Chant].

He had awakened both of these skills alongside Fireball, the basic Active Skill of a mage.

Their effects were also very simple.

They could reduce his spellcasting cost and Chant Time by 10%.

Could these two skills also be upgraded with points?
