God-Tier Passive Skills, Mana Storm, Divine Grace Chant!

God-Tier Passive Skills, Mana Storm, Divine Grace Chant!

Lin Yi had already noticed a common trait among the High-Tier Spells he currently possessed.

While their power was terrifyingly immense, their Skill Cost was also enormous!

Their Chant Time was also extremely long.

Take the Tier 7 Spell Lin Yi had just obtained, [Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath], for example.

[Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Tier: Tier 7]

[Element: Fire Element]

[Cost: 30,000 Mana]

[Chant Time: 20 seconds]

[Cooldown Time: 2 hours]

[Effect: Summons a giant dragon's Scorching Dragon's Breath to descend from the heavens, igniting all targets within its range, dealing massive fire damage and inflicting long-lasting Dragon Flame Burn damage.]

[Note: All that lies in its path shall become scorched earth.]

Casting this Tier 7 Spell once required 30,000 Mana.

It also required an absurdly long twenty-second chant.

Lin Yi currently only had a maximum of 100 Mana. He could not even use this kind of High-Tier Skill.

So, Lin Yi turned his attention to his two Passive Skills.

Especially [Energy Saving Spellcasting]!

He hoped this skill's advancement would bring him a surprise!

At the very least, it had to let him cast High-Tier Spells!

Lin Yi switched his Skill Point allocation to [Energy Saving Spellcasting]. Then, just as he had done with Fireball before, he began dumping points into it like mad!

The constant ding-ding-ding of notifications rang without end.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Yi received the notification for the final skill advancement once again.

[You have consumed 100,000 Skill Points. Your Super Mana Surge has advanced. You have gained a new Passive Skill: Mana Storm!]

After spending another hundred thousand-plus Skill Points, Lin Yi had raised the minor skill [Energy Saving Spellcasting] to Tier 7.

Of course, its name was now far more imposing.

[Mana Storm]

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Tier: Tier 7]

[System: General System]

[Effect 1: The Mana cost of all spells you cast is reduced by 70%.]

[Effect 2: Your maximum Mana gained from all sources is increased sevenfold. You recover 7% of your maximum Mana every second.]

[Effect 3: Every 8 hours, you gain one chance to cast any spell below Tier 9 with no cost. Current available uses: 1. Maximum stack: 3.]

[Note: I am the approaching storm.]

Hiss...

Lin Yi sucked in a sharp breath.

A god-tier passive!

And it had solved his most pressing problem!

All skill Mana costs were reduced by 70%, which meant his sustained combat ability had become much stronger.

The cost of one [Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath] had dropped from 30,000 to 9,000. Although that was still high, it was no longer out of reach.

More importantly, he had three chances every day to cast spells for free.

That way, he would not be unable to use a crucial skill just because he lacked Mana.

Awesome!

Without stopping, Lin Yi turned his attention to his last remaining Passive Skill—[Quick Chant].

Another wild round of point allocation lasting over ten minutes followed.

Even Lin Yi was starting to get tired.

The experience of crazily improving his skills was undeniably wonderful and exhilarating.

But it was truly dull and tedious.

All he had to do was keep clicking, clicking, clicking...

Lin Yi's hands were sore.

If any other Class User learned of Lin Yi's troubles right now, they would probably be angered to death on the spot!

Which of them did not painstakingly grind Dungeons all day just to earn a few dozen or a hundred Skill Points?

They had to think things through, weigh every possibility, and carefully calculate how to upgrade their skills for the best value and greatest returns.

But Lin Yi? He just had to dump points in blindly.

Soon, another fresh Tier 7 Skill was born.

[Divine Grace Chant]

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Tier: Tier 7]

[System: General System]

[Effect 1: When you cast spells below Tier 5, they become instant-cast. The Chant Time of spells above Tier 5 is reduced by 70%.]

[Effect 2: Your chants cannot be interrupted by any interruption, silence, or anti-magic skills below Tier 7.]

[Effect 3: Every 8 hours, you gain one chance to instantly cast any spell below Tier 9. Current available uses: 1. Maximum stack: 3.]

[Note: Protected by divine grace, chanting divine words.]

Here it came!

Instant-cast spells had arrived!

Lin Yi had predicted before that his two Passive Skills would probably become extremely outrageous after advancing.

But he had not expected them to become this outrageous.

And they even worked together.

No-cost casting plus instant casting!

Now this was the kind of Combination Technique that got the blood pumping!

If Lin Yi wanted to, he could even instantly cast a Tier 7 [Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath] right here on the spot!

Although Lin Yi had not tested this skill's power yet, he had a feeling.

If this Tier 7 fire-element ultimate came crashing down...

Half of Jiangcheng might suffer.

He was not some anti-human lunatic, so naturally he would not do that.

But honestly, Lin Yi was already itching to try it.

Since he could not openly throw High-Tier Skills around in the city, going to a deserted high-level Leveling Zone to test them should be fine, right?

Lin Yi shoved all the Alchemical Potions and Health and Mana Potions he had just sorted out, along with several experience scrolls and Return Scrolls, into the fifty-slot Inventory Space that came with awakening a class.

Afterward, Lin Yi left home and went to the Life Professionist commercial street in Jiangcheng, where he picked up a large amount of food and water for free.

He completely filled his Inventory Space.

Great Xia placed great importance on cultivating talent.

Therefore, newly awakened Class Users like Lin Yi enjoyed educational benefits.

All they had to do was tell the Life Profession vendors, "I'm a student."

Then, after showing their Student ID, they could receive a large amount of basic supplies for free.

With everything ready, Lin Yi left Jiangcheng's inner city and arrived in the suburbs.

Beyond the city lay an endless grassland. A gentle breeze swept across it, and the weather was excellent today.

Looking out, Lin Yi could see countless people around his age wielding all kinds of weapons across the grassland, killing harmless little animals such as wild rabbits and marmots.

This was the lowest-level Leveling Zone outside Jiangcheng: Qingfeng Grassland.

The monsters on this grassland were generally between levels 1 and 4, and none of them would attack people proactively.

In fact, weak monsters like rabbits and marmots would only run away after being attacked. They would not fight back at all.

This place was practically heaven for newcomers.

That was why a huge number of people who had just awakened their classes chose to level here.

Naturally, though, leveling efficiency was very low.

Because there were more people than monsters.

Most monsters were probably killed by countless attacks the moment they respawned.

Thus, those with greater ambitions, stronger classes, or wealthier backgrounds would choose to venture deeper into the grassland, challenge more dangerous and powerful monsters, and level more efficiently.

Lin Yi bypassed the popular leveling areas of Qingfeng Grassland and headed toward the depths of the plains.

He walked for half a day.

Half a day later, Lin Yi looked at the dense forest appearing at the edge of the grassland and let out a long breath.

That was the higher-level Leveling Zone—Howling Forest.

The monsters in the forest were generally level 9 and above. They were bloodthirsty and savage, and they would attack proactively.
