"Luo Fan, the first skill I awakened with my professional sequence was Holy Light Descent."
"This skill has two effects."
"The first is for people on our side. Once it envelops them, it makes them stronger."
"For bad people, it makes them weaker once it envelops them." An Xiaoran answered Luo Fan's question first.
Holy Light Descent? It could give allies buffs while inflicting debuffs on enemies?
That skill sounded pretty good.
"As for the condition for awakening my professional sequence, it was to give of myself and sacrifice myself out of love." Then An Xiaoran answered Zhao Chunfeng's question.
"Th-that condition is far too demanding, isn't it?"
"Out of love, then giving and sacrificing yourself? She just happened to encounter that Rule-Type Weird. Otherwise, if she did that at any other time, wouldn't she die even if she awakened her professional sequence?"
"So this is basically a professional advancement that's almost impossible to complete," Zhao Chunfeng said with feeling upon hearing that.
"More importantly, in this apocalypse, how many people would sacrifice themselves for love?" Rose added from beside them, then looked at An Xiaoran with a somewhat peculiar expression.
Her eyes held amazement, envy, and a sense of shame at her own inadequacy.
An Xiaoran was like a flawless mirror. Standing before her, Rose felt as though her own filth was reflected back at her.
Standing before her made Rose feel even more ashamed of her own inadequacy.
"Love and devotion. So this advancement condition really does fit the Holy Light Angel sequence perfectly," Niu Dagang said as well.
"Xiao Ran, try using your Holy Light Descent so we can see its effects," Luo Fan said to An Xiaoran, as pragmatic as ever.
Hearing this, An Xiaoran nodded and pointed toward Luo Fan.
Then, in the empty space above Luo Fan's head, a beam of light brimming with holiness suddenly descended and shone directly onto him.
Immediately afterward, Luo Fan's body glowed with a gentle holy light. At the same time, he clearly felt an all-around increase in his strength, speed, defense, and every other aspect.
"How does it feel?" Seeing the holy light swirling around Luo Fan, Zhao Chunfeng and the others asked curiously.
Luo Fan said nothing. He simply reached out toward Niu Dagang and pushed him hard.
Niu Dagang was a little baffled by Luo Fan's action, but he reacted quickly and immediately exerted his strength to resist.
Luo Fan pushed harder and harder, and Niu Dagang kept increasing his strength as well.
"Aaaah!"
Niu Dagang cried out, his strength already pushed to its limit.
Veins bulged on Luo Fan's forehead as well. Clearly, he was also using his full strength.
The two were actually evenly matched in their contest of strength.
After testing it this way, they both stopped exerting themselves.
"You're in the assassination sequence, yet your strength can actually match mine in the melee sequence?" Niu Dagang stared at Luo Fan in amazement, his eyes wide.
They were both Level 10, but how could the assassination sequence and the melee sequence be the same?
"It looks like Luo Fan's strength really has increased considerably under Holy Light Descent's enhancement," Zhao Chunfeng chimed in with an amazed expression after witnessing Luo Fan match Niu Dagang in strength.
"Holy Light Descent doesn't just boost strength. It also boosts speed, defense, and so on. You could say that all my attributes have increased significantly."
"It really does live up to being a professional sequence. This enhancement is seriously powerful."
"My overall strength has improved by a huge margin," Luo Fan added.
However, Luo Fan left another thought unspoken. Although Holy Light Descent was powerful, his body shone after it was applied, which was a terrible fit for someone in the assassination sequence like him.
Especially at night, it practically forced everyone else to focus their attention on him.
"All right, everyone, get some rest. Overall, we had a scare today, but we made it through safely."
"We still have a little over four hours to rest."
"Xiao Ran's Holy Light Descent really did cause quite a stir just now." Zhao Chunfeng clapped his hands and spoke to Luo Fan and the others, pointing a short distance away.
Indeed, Holy Light Descent had been particularly eye-catching in the darkness. The holy light falling out of empty space had drawn many people in the Hope Convoy to look toward the Sequence Users.
"Yeah, let's get some rest first." Hearing Zhao Chunfeng's words, Luo Fan and the others nodded.
First they had hunted a Ranked Fierce Beast, then, with their nerves stretched taut, they had turned the tables and killed a Rule-Type Weird. Everyone was exhausted, both physically and mentally.
They only had six hours in total to rest that night and had to depart in the early morning, so Luo Fan and the others naturally made the most of the time to rest.
Luo Fan and An Xiaoran climbed into their truck and reclined the driver's seat and passenger seat respectively.
"Xiao Ran, you're not allowed to do something like that again, understand?" Neither of them spoke. After a long silence, Luo Fan solemnly warned An Xiaoran.
"Snrrrk..."
An Xiaoran said nothing beside him, but she had already started snoring.
Hearing An Xiaoran snore, Luo Fan's face darkened instead, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Stop pretending to be asleep. I can tell from your snoring that you're still awake."
An Xiaoran's snoring stopped abruptly.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Sure enough, she really was still awake.
"I heard you." An Xiaoran's voice rang out in the darkness.
"Hearing it isn't the important part. Remembering it is. You're not allowed to do anything like that again. You have to promise me." Luo Fan sat up from his reclining position and stared at An Xiaoran as he spoke.
Sensing that Luo Fan had sat up, An Xiaoran sat up too, then held out a finger.
A speck of holy light gathered at her fingertip, lighting up the truck's interior like a light bulb.
Well, now that she had awakened the Holy Light Angel sequence, An Xiaoran could serve as a human light bulb. There was no need to turn on a light anymore.
"Luo Fan..."
An Xiaoran did not directly answer Luo Fan's demand for a promise. Instead, she suddenly asked curiously, "Are you already Level 10?"
"That's right. After that Rule-Type Weird died, I reached Level 10." Luo Fan nodded.
"Then what are the advancement conditions for your professional sequence?"
"Doesn't everyone naturally learn the advancement conditions for their professional sequence when they reach Level 10?"
"Why haven't you told all of us?"
Holding up her finger, holy light shining from its tip, An Xiaoran blinked her large eyes and asked Luo Fan curiously.
