《All People: God-level Enchanter, the country takes me to level up》 Chapter 1 - If Im Too Talented, Can I Get a Recommendation? Chapter 1: If I¡¯m Too Talented, Can I Get a Recommendation? It was China, Nanhu Province, Anyang City, No. 1 High School. ¡°Sister Ya, what if, I mean, what if,¡± Zhao Xing hesitated, his eyes filled with excitement and curiosity. ¡°A level 1 enchanter¡¯s enchantment success rate is 100%,¡± he continued, his voice filled with anticipation. ¡°The enchanting effect is also 10 times that of normal. And during the enchanting process, there¡¯s also a certain chance of randomly generating additional effects. So is it possible for such an enchantment master to be guaranteed a place in the Transcendent Academy and enjoy special treatment?¡± Inside the office, the sunlight streaming through the window cast a warm glow as Zhao Xing sat on a chair, his mind filled with dreams of greatness. Across him, Guan Ya, the young and approachable teacher, listened attentively, her eyes sparkling behind her glasses. ¡°It¡¯s impossible,¡± Guan Ya replied with a gentle smile. ¡°The success probability of a Level 1 Enchanter, not to mention 100%, is incredibly rare. Even reaching a 10% success rate is considered exceptional talent.¡± Undeterred, Zhao Xing pressed on, his eyes shining with determination. ¡°I mean hypothetically. Suppose what I said is true?¡± Guan Ya adjusted her glasses, her expression thoughtful. ¡°Well, let¡¯s entertain the possibility that there really is a situation like what you said. You would certainly receive a recommendation based on the first point alone.¡± Zhao Xing¡¯s heart skipped a beat. A recommendation to the Transcendent Academy! It was a dream he had nurtured since he discovered his passion for enchanting. ¡°Currently, countries struggle to create their equipment, mostly relying on copies,¡± Guan Ya explained. ¡°Enchanting is one of the few ways to enhance equipment, but the success rate is disappointing. Enhancing high-level equipment is even more challenging.¡± Her voice was excited as she continued, ¡°If a level 1 enchantment master could achieve a 100% success rate, they would be immensely valued by the country. Their rank would soar, and their contribution to the country¡¯s high-end battle power would be immeasurable.¡± Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t help but be swept away by the possibilities. ¡°What about an enchantment effect that is 10 times higher than the average and randomly produces additional effects? How much would the country value that?¡± Guan Ya burst into laughter, unable to contain her amusement. ¡°Then the country would be at your mercy, Zhao Xing. Are you suggesting that you possess such extraordinary talent?¡± A mischievous smile tugged at Zhao Xing¡¯s lips as he playfully replied, ¡°Goosey~.¡± He wanted to shout, ¡°Yes, I am!¡± But Guan Ya¡¯s infectious laughter interrupted him, leaving him chuckling along. As the laughter subsided, Zhao Xing gazed out of the window, his eyes drawn to the bustling playground. Professionals of various classes¡ªwarriors, mages, knights, archers, swordsmen, and even imperial beast masters¡ªmoved purposefully. The faint glimmers on their attire hinted at their incredible abilities. Lost in the sight, Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t help but wonder if he would someday join their ranks, his enchanting prowess would be acknowledged and admired by all. Little did he know that his journey would take an unexpected turn, leading him into a world of wonders, enchantments, and unimaginable adventures. The path to his dreams was just beginning, and the destiny that awaited him would surpass even his wildest fantasies. That was the light that comes with the quality of the ¡®equipment,¡¯ but most of them were white and blue, and there was rarely a purple glow. Zhao Xing was, of course, also a professional. However, he was a [Enchanter] characterized as a secondary professional. [Name: Zhao Xing].[Profession: Enchanter].[Rank: Level 1 (Apprentice)].[Strength: 10].[Physical Strength: 10].[Speed: 10].[Spirit: 20].[Equipment: None] [Equipment: None].[Skill 1: Simple Enchantment: You can enchant an item to enhance the target¡¯s original attributes slightly. The effect lasts for a period of time.]. On the bright side, these were the only attribute panels that could be displayed. But underneath, there were two more: [Talent 1: Multiplier Increase (Level 1), you will receive a 10x increase when you perform an enchantment! If it is a temporary enchantment, the duration will be increased by 10 times.].[Talent 2: Blessing of Origin (Level 1), when you perform an enchantment, it will be 100% successful, and there is a certain chance that a powerful special effect will appear! Including but not limited to (attribute increase, skill increase, rule increase, and concept increase)]. After experimenting many times and realizing that it wasn¡¯t an illusion, Zhao Xing immediately recognized the power of his talent. However, an Enchanter didn¡¯t possess much offensive power, making leveling up challenging. But soon, Zhao Xing figured it out again¡ªan occupation like his own was best suited for logistics for the country. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If he could get recommended, he could even ask the country to help solve the problem of his enhancement difficulties. Wouldn¡¯t that be great? Zhao Xing recalled that the country offered special treatment for exceptional talents, possibly securing a guaranteed place at the First High School of Anyang, which was the basis of his recent conversation with Guan Ya. Of course, judging by Guan Ya¡¯s reaction, he knew she didn¡¯t believe him. This wasn¡¯t unexpected. He might not have believed it if he hadn¡¯t been tested. ¡°Alright, Zhao Xing, thank you for telling me a joke. The teacher is going to have something to do. Bye-bye.¡± ¡°Hey, Sister Ya¡­ wait a moment.¡± Zhao Xing quickly returned to his senses and called Guan Ya. With only half a year left before the Transcendent Academy selection, he needed to address this matter promptly for his future. Otherwise, the procedures for these things could take unpredictable time. ¡°Zhao Xing, is there anything else you want?¡± Guan Ya asked, maintaining her patience. ¡°Sister Ya, what I just said was genuine,¡± Zhao Xing said earnestly. Guan Ya looked at Zhao Xing¡¯s serious face and said softly, ¡°Good, then show me your panel.¡± Zhao Xing shook his head and said, ¡°You can¡¯t tell from the personal panel.¡± ¡°Then, can we discuss this topic another time?¡± Guan Ya suggested. Zhao Xing, realizing Guan Ya¡¯s desire to end the conversation, took decisive action. He quickly stepped up and closed the door, then placed a ring in front of Guan Ya. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Guan Ya¡¯s face showed a bit of astonishment. Unaware of Guan Ya¡¯s thoughts, Zhao Xing pointed at the ring and said, ¡°Sister Ya, look. This is a white plate equipment that I bought from a stall. Originally, its attribute was +1 physical strength. Now, please put it on. You¡¯ll understand after I¡¯m done enchanting it in a moment.¡± Chapter 2 - The school shakes up! Chapter 2: The school shakes up! Guan Ya also realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something. Seeing Zhao Xing¡¯s serious expression, she decided to believe him again. At the same time, Guan Ya also decided that if Zhao Xing made such a big show to attract attention, she had to give him a good lecture. ¡°Have you seen its original effect?¡± Zhao Xing put the ring on Guan Ya¡¯s index finger. ¡°Yes,¡± Guan Ya had no choice but to nod with a straight face to suppress the emotions in her heart. She had indeed seen the properties of the ring. [The Nameless Ring].[Physical Strength +3]. It was a very common piece of white equipment that added very little to the six-dimensional attribute. ¡°And then?¡± Guan Ya asked. ¡°Then, I will enchant it once¡­ No, you don¡¯t need to take it off. It¡¯s not that complicated. It will be fine in a while.¡± Zhao Xing directly held Guan Ya¡¯s hand. His left hand held Guan Ya¡¯s palm, and the right hand stroked back and forth above it. Guan Ya patiently watched him perform because she genuinely felt that Zhao Xing was enchanting. Level 1 enchanters generally only had the skill [Simple Enchantment]. There was no need for materials. It was just a temporary magnification of a certain attribute of the item target. However, there was a level limit. Simple enchantment could only enchant equipment of Levels 1-10. The skin on the back of her hand felt a caress, and Guan Ya felt that her face was getting hot. [You are enchanting the Nameless Ring].[Affected by the talent of the blessing of origin, this enchantment was successful! And an additional effect, ¡®Knockback¡¯ has been generated!].[Affected by the multiplier talent, the effect of this enchantment is multiplied by 10 times, physical strength +30, and the effective duration of the enchantment remains for 3 days.]. After getting the prompt, Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t help but be overjoyed. It actually produced the additional effect of [Knockback]! The blessing of origin did not produce additional effects every time. The chance of this was very small. Unexpectedly, it actually appeared this time. In this way, after enchanting, it perfectly confirmed all his words. Zhao Xing let go of his hand: ¡°Okay, Sister Ya, you can check the attributes after enchantment now. See if what I said is true.¡± Guan Ya looked a little surprised. Even without opening the panel to check, she felt that her physical strength seemed to have changed. There was no such thing as bound or unbound white equipment. Now this ring was on her finger. She immediately started checking. [The Nameless Ring].[Physical Strength +33].[Knockback: When a melee class attacks the wearer, the target will be knocked back by 3 meters.].[Enchanted state (temporary): The effect disappears after 2 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes.]. When Guan Ya observed the complete attributes, the vibrant red lips were slightly parted, and the eyes were wide open. She couldn¡¯t believe what she was seeing! She even wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, wondering if she was hallucinating. But this was, in fact, true! As a teacher in a college, Guan Ya held the rank of a level 23 water elemental mage. She was well-acquainted with various combat and auxiliary occupations. Normally, when a level 1 enchanter performed [Simple Enchantment] on equipment, the attribute improvement ranged from 1 to 5 points. However, the physical attribute of the Nameless Ring had surged by 30 points! Clearly, the 10 times effect mentioned by Zhao Xing was accurate. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A level 1 enchanter couldn¡¯t enchant equipment permanently, resulting in a limited enchanting duration. Typically, the enchantment lasted for 4-7 hours. Yet, the Nameless Ring¡¯s enchantment duration was an astonishing three days, which was 10 times longer than the average! What bewildered Guan Ya even more was the [Knockback] effect. Did this fall under the category of [Material Enchanting] or [Skill Enchanting]? Guan Ya found herself completely perplexed. ¡°I¡­¡± Guan Ya¡¯s voice trembled a little. After taking a long breath, she composed herself and said, ¡°I believe you now. You fully comply with the ¡°Special Occupation and Talent Training¡± policy issued by the state. But I¡¯ve never seen someone in a situation like this¡­ I don¡¯t even know what level you can reach and what kind of treatment you can receive.¡± ¡°Can you provide me with a recommendation?¡± Zhao Xing inquired, as this was his primary concern. Attending the Transcendent Academy was a matter of honor and glory, and it was his and his family¡¯s greatest wish. ¡°Absolutely! Zhao Xing, I will immediately report this matter to the principal and strive to secure the best treatment for you!¡± Guan Ya left with excitement, unable to wait a moment longer. ¡­ At Anyang No. 1 High School in the Principal¡¯s office, Principal Yang Tianming was on the phone, a man in his early forties and a martial artist of a similar level. At this moment, his tone was unusually humble. ¡°Director Liu, hey, it¡¯s me. Oh, I don¡¯t mean anything else, just to ask when you have time to come to Anyang No. 1 High School to guide and instruct the work.¡± After a while, Yang Tianming hung up the phone and sighed, ¡°Hey, the special recruitment work is about to start. There are so many leaders from the Transcendent Academy. I don¡¯t know how many of them can come to Anyang to have a look.¡± Yang Tianming rubbed his face, planning to continue calling to invite. Whether there were dates or not, he had to contact them all. If Anyang No. 1 High School approached first, how many of them might find Zhao Xing intriguing? If they arrived late, meeting the requirements might be uncertain, and there could be no available slots. At that time¨C ¡°¡± The door of the office was nearly knocked open. Yang Tianming looked at this usually gentle and quiet woman in amazement. ¡°Mr. Guan, you are¡­¡± ¡°Principal, I have something urgent to report to you!¡± Guan Ya said anxiously. ¡°Teacher Guan Ya, don¡¯t worry. You almost broke my door.¡± Yang Tianming smiled and said, ¡°Come on, you can talk slowly if you have anything to say.¡± Guan Ya suddenly realized her blunder, so she restrained her emotions and took off the ring. She then explained what had happened with student Zhao Xing. ¡°What? There is such a thing!¡± After listening, Yang Tianming stood up with a groan and asked, ¡°Where is he? Where is Zhao Xing?! Hurry up, hurry up, call him over! No, I¡¯ll find him myself! In my office¡­¡± Before Guan Ya could finish speaking, she witnessed the forty-five-level martial artist rushing away like a speeding truck. ¡°¡± In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared. Guan Ya looked at the now-collapsed door, feeling a little dazed. Principal, are you in a hurry? Guan Ya didn¡¯t care about the door anymore and hastily followed. Chapter 3 - The Education Department is shaken, urgent meeting! Chapter 3: The Education Department is shaken, urgent meeting!Zhao Xing lingered in the office for a while, but when Guan Ya didn¡¯t return, he decided to head back and take a break. Casting [Simple Enchanting] was quite exhausting, draining both physical and mental energy each time. As he stepped out, he nearly collided with a massive figure. ¡°Watch where you¡¯re going! Oh, Principal, Principal!¡± Yang Tianming paid little attention to Zhao Xing¡¯s words, locking eyes with him intently. ¡°You¡¯re Zhao Xing?¡± Principal Yang asked. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s me,¡± Zhao Xing replied. ¡°You enchanted this ring?¡± Principal Yang asked. ¡°The Nameless Ring? Yes.¡± ¡°¡± Guan Ya arrived just in time. Yang Tianming closed the door abruptly and pulled Zhao Xing into Guan Ya¡¯s office. ¡°Show me again. We¡¯ll record from multiple angles this time.¡± ¡°Teacher Guan, handle the recording.¡± It was Yang Tianming¡¯s usual approach. Reporting such extraordinary matters to higher authorities required factual accuracy to avoid unnecessary debates and time wastage. ¡°Alright, Principal,¡± Guan Ya nodded and swiftly set up the recording. Zhao Xing cautioned, ¡°Principal, I can¡¯t guarantee the additional effect will happen every time. It¡¯s a probability.¡± ¡°I understand,¡± Yang Tianming nodded solemnly. ¡°As long as you can ensure the attribute and duration effects, it¡¯s fine.¡± Without further ado, Zhao Xing presented another unnamed ring. This common white equipment held little value, but he had prepared thoroughly, activating his enchanting skill. In no time, the second ring was enchanted. Yang Tianming eagerly wore the ring and displayed a shocked expression, ¡°Amazing! The attribute bonus is identical to before!¡± ¡°Though there¡¯s no extra effect, this is a 10 times bonus with a 100% success rate!¡± Yang Tianming was thrilled. He grasped the significance. Since Blue Star¡¯s gamification, equipment, and materials relied heavily on combat. Enchanters, a loved and hated profession, could significantly boost professionals¡¯ combat prowess. Facing high-level equipment, the material loss rate remained high, often requiring numerous attempts and materials. If Zhao Xing could maintain such success at a high level, it would be an unprecedented asset for the country. His enchanting effect surpassed the average by a significant margin, a true treasure. The potential seemed limitless, making it a crucial national asset. ¡°Can you do it again?¡± Yang Tianming inquired eagerly, wanting to bolster his report. Zhao Xing appeared somewhat dazed and shook his head, ¡°My level is too low. I¡¯m only level 1 and can enchant at most twice a day.¡± ¡°Each enchantment consumes physical and mental energy. To demonstrate again, I¡¯d have to wait until tomorrow.¡± ¡°That¡¯s sufficient!¡± Yang Tianming slapped his thigh. ¡°I¡¯ll report to the higher-ups immediately and request special talent recognition for you. Your leveling will be the responsibility of the school and the country.¡± ¡°No need to risk fighting monsters. Just follow the masters assigned by the school and country to gain experience.¡± Zhao Xing¡¯s eyes sparkled with anticipation. This was the outcome he had longed for, and Yang Tianming¡¯s proposal aligned perfectly with his desires. ¡°No, let¡¯s do it now!¡± Yang Tianming declared. ¡°Teacher Xiao Guan, take him to level up immediately. I¡¯ll catch up with the report later. We can¡¯t delay sending talent to the country.¡± ¡°Understood, Principal,¡± Guan Ya nodded in agreement. Yang Tianming prioritized action over bureaucracy, disregarding the usual procedures. It was an exceptional privilege granted by the principal to expedite special talents, even surpassing the teacher¡¯s usual authority. Yang Tianming couldn¡¯t wait. Urgency took precedence. After Zhao Xing leveled up, would his potential and performance see a significant improvement? ¡°The records and these two rings were handed over to me and taken away.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to make a trip to the Education Department.¡± ¡°Teacher Guan, the matter of taking Zhao Xing to level up will be done according to the regulations, and I will leave it to you.¡± Yang Tianming reiterated his instructions. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Principal,¡± Guan Ya nodded seriously. ¡°I will definitely finish it.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Yang Tianming rushed back to his office and immediately shouted, ¡°Xiao Liu, prepare a car for me quickly!¡± Xiao Liu, the secretary with greasy hair and glasses, rushed over immediately. ¡°Principal, isn¡¯t it too late to go to the Education Department at this time? The shuttle car has to go through the wilderness area, so it¡¯s very dangerous. Leader, I suggest that it is better to go tomorrow, right? Yang Tianming waved his hand and said, ¡°Just do what you¡¯re told. There¡¯s so much nonsense. Hurry up!¡± The greasy-haired secretary¡¯s face changed, and he didn¡¯t dare to make any more suggestions, so he hurriedly prepared. In the middle of the night, a shuttle vehicle traversed the wilderness plain. Under the night sky, faint roars of beasts echoed. However, Yang Tianming rode in a shuttle vehicle crafted by a high-level mechanic, ensuring high defense against the monsters randomly spawning on the mountain road. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In reality, most of the wilderness had been safe for hundreds of years, and the genuine threats came from the dimensional dungeon. About two hours later, Yang Tianming arrived at the Education Department of Nanhu Province. Despite the late hour, the lights were still on in the office building. Zhang Haiqiang, the person in charge of the Education Department, was waiting at the gate. ¡°¡± The shuttle door was roughly slammed. Yang Tianming activated [Savage Sprint], covering a distance of 100 meters in the blink of an eye to reach Zhang Haiqiang. ¡°Leader, I¡¯m late and kept you waiting.¡± Zhang Haiqiang, in his fifties but looking younger than Yang Tianming, exuded authority with a Chinese-character face that reflected prestige. Observing Yang Tianming use skills in the forbidden area, he didn¡¯t express disapproval as Yang Tianming had briefed him during the ride. ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Tianming. Have you brought anything?¡± Zhang Haiqiang inquired. ¡°I have.¡± Yang Tianming hastily handed over the two rings. Zhang Haiqiang examined the rings. His expression turned serious. Then he instructed the secretary beside him, ¡°Immediately, in my name, contact the Education Department with all main combat occupations above level 60 and auxiliary occupations above level 50, especially enchanters. Call an urgent meeting!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Chapter 4 - Shocking, the highest standard of training! Chapter 4: Shocking, the highest standard of training! In the Nanhu State Department of Education, it was already midnight, but the office building was still brightly illuminated. Inside a conference room, Martial Cultivator, Technician, Sorcerer, Beast Tamer¡­ 8 experts from various primary combat fields and 3 supporting fields, a total of 11 individuals were seated sequentially. Once seated, their first action was to peruse the printed materials in their possession. All 11 present had achieved remarkable success in their respective career paths. Their combat prowess might not be the highest. Yet, they delved into different aspects of their profession, such as researching skill proficiency and crafting professional blueprints. Dungeon utilization, collaboration among diverse professions, etc¡­ they all possessed unique insights and achievements. Regarding professional expertise, they were considered the elite in the education domain of Nanhu Province. The 11 individuals in Nanhu Province determined the allocation of educational resources. At that moment, they all focused on the materials in their hands and the large screen. Late-night urgent meetings were infrequent. Unless a new dungeon emerged in Nanhu Province, the meeting was convened this time due to a low-level 1 enchanter. This was indeed rare! However, after perusing the information, no one voiced complaints because they truly comprehended the significance of the content of these materials. ¡°Unbelievable, it¡¯s truly unbelievable!¡± ¡°Our country has actually produced such a brilliant enchanter!¡± ¡°Having a 100% enchantment success rate at level 1, just this alone, with proper cultivation, can save countless valuable resources for the nation!¡± An elderly individual with the [Material Decomposer] profession mumbled to himself. ¡°The production of high-end enchanting materials primarily relies on assisting in the decomposition of occupations and acquiring dungeons.¡± sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°The quantity is too scarce. If enchantment fails, these materials become useless.¡± ¡°If he can sustain such a success rate at higher levels, undoubtedly, it will save us several times the cost of high-end materials!¡± Next to him, another middle-aged man, a [Gladiator] by main combat profession, remarked, ¡°Cost savings are secondary. The crucial point is his enchanting effectiveness!¡± ¡°For the same piece of equipment, his enchantment is 10 times superior to the average, which is also exceptional worldwide!¡± ¡°If an enchanter like him handles high-end equipment. Then our nation¡¯s high-end combat power will elevate significantly, surpassing other countries!¡± ¡°It¡¯s even possible to alter the existing pattern of high-end combat power across various nations!¡± Another formidable player in the main combat profession exclaimed excitedly, ¡°Exactly. If that¡¯s the case, perhaps our country can lead in exploring the top dungeons!¡± ¡°The benefits brought by conquering top dungeons are simply immeasurable!¡± Everyone present was a prodigy, so Zhang Haiqiang didn¡¯t need to elaborate. They promptly grasped the potential of this young level 1 enchanter. Since the gamification of Blue Star, numerous dungeons have surfaced gradually, with escalating levels. Swiftly clearing dungeons and maximizing benefits had become the primary challenge for all nations. So far, there were still numerous high-level dungeons unconquered. Because the combat effectiveness of top professionals couldn¡¯t keep pace, the reality was that the dungeon difficulty exceeded the rate of combat power increase. In essence, all nations faced the issue of ¡®dungeon exploration.¡¯ To enhance combat effectiveness, one had to focus on other aspects like equipment and skill proficiency. Enchanting equipment undeniably was one of the avenues, and the impact on boosting combat effectiveness was evident. However, the success rate of enchanting high-level equipment was excessively low! At times, a considerable amount of precious materials were expended, yielding no results. One of the elderly gentlemen spoke up, ¡°Everyone, I am an enchanter.¡± ¡°No one understands the potential of this enchanter better than me.¡± ¡°[Attribute Enchanting] at the primary level, [Skill Enchanting] at the intermediate level.¡± ¡°There¡¯s also [Living Enchanting], and even [Rules]!¡± ¡°The higher you ascend, the more potent the effect becomes.¡± ¡°I propose that this novice enchanter will be provided with top-tier talent training in our Nanhu Province.¡± All eyes immediately turned to Zhang Haiqiang. The decision on whether to provide this treatment rested with the person in charge or not. ¡°Verification is needed to confirm if the trainee enchanter in the video can exhibit remarkable performance at a high level.¡± ¡°But I believe he is worth the investment from the Education Department.¡± Upon hearing these words, everyone shifted their attention to the figure in the video. Yang Tianming intentionally obscured the silhouette, and Zhao Xing¡¯s face remained hidden. However, this was expected. Obtaining all the details would require time for the confidentiality regulations to be signed. ¡°Now, let¡¯s vote by a show of hands.¡± ¡°Those in favor of giving this enchanter the highest standard talent cultivation treatment, raise your hand.¡± ¡°Agree!¡± ¡°Agree!¡± ¡°Agree!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The 11 of them swiftly cast their votes. Zhang Haiqiang then nodded and declared, ¡°The vote is passed.¡± ¡°Everyone, the upcoming tasks will require your collaboration.¡± ¡°Adherence to confidentiality regulations, material provision, security measures, results verification, etc.¡± ¡°All must be foolproof.¡± ¡°At least in Nanhu Province, no room for error.¡± ¡°Until he graduates.¡± As Zhang Haiqiang¡¯s words resonated, the main combat professional [Sword Fighter] appeared perplexed. ¡°What, graduation? Are you saying he¡¯s still a student?¡± ¡°I thought the level 1 enchanter mentioned in your information referred to his past experiences. Turns out he¡¯s genuinely a level 1 enchanter¡­ just a student?¡± The details of Zhao Xing were intentionally omitted from the information initially provided by Zhang Haiqiang. These individuals were unaware that they were discussing a level 1 enchanter. Once the confidentiality regulations were signed, the revelation occurred. It appeared the rightful owner was still enrolled at No. 1 High School in Anyang City. Nevertheless, this was advantageous. It made the cultivation process more convenient! Moreover, the Enchanter profession offered numerous choices. In the attribute enchanting stage, specializations like [Fire Enchanting], [Thunder Enchanting], and more were available. The [Living Body Enchantment] stage featured directions such as flesh, plants, and others. Being at level 1, he was similar to a blank canvas, alleviating concerns about straying off course. Zhang Haiqiang remarked, ¡°I¡¯ll handle the confidentiality regulations.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll oversee the security measures and coordinate with the military for assistance,¡± the sword fighter added. ¡°As for supplying the materials, count me in,¡± chuckled the old man with a background in disassembling. ¡°I¡¯ll take charge of results verification and offer career guidance,¡± stated the top enchanter of Nanhu Province. ¡°I¡¯ll manage the day-to-day needs.¡± Observing each person step forward, Zhang Haiqiang smiled contentedly and said, ¡°Thank you for your cooperation. Let¡¯s anticipate the surprises this trainee enchanter will bring us in the future under Nanhu Province¡¯s training!¡± Chapter 5 - The beautiful teacher leads the training. It feels like flying! Chapter 5: The beautiful teacher leads the training. It feels like flying! In a primary dungeon in Anyang City, Zhao Xing stood in front of a lifeless body. Not far away, the illumination from the water spell in Guan Ya¡¯s hand diminished. A stream of radiance surged into Zhao Xing¡¯s form from the armored porcupine¡¯s remains. Then, he received a notification. [Your comrade vanquished the armored porcupine. Due to the ¡®cooperation contract,¡¯ this killing experience is exclusively yours! You¡¯ve earned 341 experience points.].[Congratulations! You¡¯ve reached level 8!]. ¡°Sister Ya, I¡¯ve hit level 8!¡± Zhao Xing exclaimed, looking at Guan Ya with excitement. The only word to describe what he felt was: exhilarating! Such a refreshing sensation! Since Yang Tianming had explained the ropes, Guan Ya, a level 24 water element master, guided him through leveling up in the dungeon. Zhao Xing didn¡¯t have to lift a finger, just stand by and watch his level ascend. It had only been an hour since entering the dungeon, and he was already at level 8! It felt incredibly satisfying! Guan Ya, however, wasn¡¯t as thrilled. Rather, she seemed somewhat dissatisfied. ¡°It¡¯s only level 8. It seems that even with a special contract, you still can¡¯t escape the unique experience penalty rules of the dungeon. I thought you¡¯d reach level 10 before dusk.¡± A special contract referred to contract-type items, exceedingly rare drops in dungeons of level 40 or higher. Only dungeons above level 50 could reliably yield them, but they were scarce. The team contract was one such item, designed to create a team with customizable terms like non-harm agreements, loot distribution, and experience points sharing. This time, Guan Ya procured a [team formation contract] from the school. Its terms were simple: all monster-killing experiences belonged to Zhao Xing. The experience penalty mentioned by Guan Ya was a fixed dungeon rule. When a team formation occurred, and one member¡¯s level was too high, the entire team would be subject to an [Experience Penalty], resulting in reduced experience points gained from hunting monsters. The armored porcupine belonged to a level 15 dungeon, allowing professionals with a maximum level of 30 to enter. However, if someone with a level above 20 joined, everyone would experience varying degrees of [Experience Penalty], and in extreme cases, no items or experience would be granted. Guan Ya currently suffers from this penalty. Each time she slew a porcupine, she gained neither experience nor items. However, the [Experience Penalty] Zhao Xing faced was relatively minor, allowing him to accumulate significant experience. ¡°Even with dungeon experience penalties, this progress is remarkably swift,¡± Zhao Xing remarked. ¡°By the way, Sister Ya¡¯s spell proficiency must be very high. That level 15 armored porcupine is an instant kill in front of you.¡± Upon receiving Zhao Xing¡¯s praise, Guan Ya, feeling a bit bashful, responded, ¡°Actually, my skill proficiency isn¡¯t very high. However, the purple elite suit [Heavenly Armor] provided by the school¡¯s logistics department enhances water spells significantly.¡± ¡°Not only can I instantly kill a level 15 monster, but even a level 30 monster falls at my hands without a struggle,¡± declared Zhao Xing. He was astonished when he heard about the ¡°Heavenly Armor set.¡± ¡°Wow, Sister Ya, is that Heavenly Armor set really worth 2 million yuan?¡± ¡°Wow, Sister Ya, you¡¯re really wealthy. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so well-off!¡± Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t contain his excitement. This item was considered a low-level artifact! Equipment grades: white (common), blue (advanced), purple (rare), red (king), orange (legendary), gold (artifact). The chance of armor being produced in a low-level dungeon was one in ten thousand, and only purple armor could be complete. With it, one could practically sweep dungeons of the same level ¨C a true leveling artifact. Due to its substantial help in the early stages and extreme rarity, it was purchased at a sky-high price by the affluent. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the set, but it¡¯s not as expensive as you think,¡± Guan Ya explained. ¡°After all, there¡¯s a difference between the national procurement price and the market price. Plus, it¡¯s not even my own.¡± Explaining further, she said, ¡°Because you meet the requirements for special talents, the headmaster specially approved this set of equipment from the post-production department for me to use. I don¡¯t have that much money to buy it myself.¡± Zhao Xing waved his hand confidently and declared, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll give it to Sister Ya when I get rich in the future! No, I¡¯ll even send a more beautiful set to Sister Ya!¡± Listening to the bold words and ambitious plans of the student, Guan Ya smiled with her eyes turning into crescent moons. ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll wait. Let¡¯s continue leveling up and aim for level 10 before dark.¡± The leveling process wasn¡¯t exceptionally fast, but with the special contract, Guan Ya faced lower-level monsters. The Heavenly Armor significantly boosted her combat effectiveness, making the fights swift and easy. The majority of the time was spent on traveling and finding monsters, with actual combat being brief. Unbeknownst to them, the sky gradually darkened, and a full moon hung above the branches, casting its light on the ground. Simultaneously, a notification sounded in the minds of Guan Ya and Zhao Xing. [As night falls, the attributes of all non-demonic occupations are reduced by 5%. The attribute of demon class is increased by 5%.].[The vision of demon-type occupations is increased by 100%, and the vision of non-demon-type occupations is weakened.]. ¡°It¡¯s getting dark,¡± Guan Ya observed, looking at the sky. ¡°It¡¯ll be a bit risky to continue fighting. Zhao Xing, are you level 10?¡± ¡°Just a bit more,¡± Zhao Xing replied, checking his panel. [Name: Zhao Xing].[Occupation: Enchanter (Apprentice)].[Level: Level 9 (88%)].[Power: 50].[Physical strength: 50].[Speed: 19].[Spirit: 180].[Equipment: None].[Skill 1: Simple Enchanting: You can enchant an item to increase the original attributes of the target slightly. This effect lasts for a while.].[Talent 1: Multiple Amplification (Level 1), when you perform enchantment, you will get a 10-fold amplification effect! If it is a temporary enchantment, the duration will also increase by 10 times.].[Talent 2: Original Blessing (Level 1), when you perform enchanting, it will be 100% successful, and there is a certain chance that powerful special effects will appear! Including but not limited to (attribute boost, skill boost, rule boost, conceptual boost)]. Zhao Xing was still 12% away from reaching level 10 as a junior enchanter. From an attribute perspective, the fixed bonus of strength and stamina was 5 points for every level up, speed increased by only 1 point per level, and spiritual power went up by 20 points per level. Compared with the main battle profession, auxiliary occupations had fewer ways to obtain attribute points. Though auxiliary occupations were weaker in combat effectiveness, Zhao Xing had no complaints. Real-world professions were rarely balanced and fair. Moreover, enchanters weren¡¯t renowned for their combat prowess.

She didn¡¯t want to risk Zhao Xing¡¯s safety in the dark. ¡°Then we¡¯ll come back tomorrow,¡± Zhao Xing agreed, looking forward to reaching level 10 and learning more about enchanting. As he approached level 10, he wondered if there would be any new improvements in his talents. Chapter 6 - Excited Zhang Haiqiang! A Fantastic ring! Chapter 6: Excited Zhang Haiqiang! A Fantastic ring!As Zhao Xing and Guan Ya emerged from the dungeon, a bustling scene greeted them at the dungeon¡¯s entrance. Numerous people were coming and going to the lively city of Anyang, which boasted a sizable population and housed dozens of high schools. However, this primary dungeon catered primarily to the leveling needs of the six nearby high schools. ¡°Teacher Guan Ya.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that Miss Ya?¡± ¡°It¡¯s our school¡¯s teacher.¡± Their appearance did not go unnoticed as they encountered classmates from Anyang No. 1 High School. Five boys and girls quickly surrounded Guan Ya, the brilliance of her purple Heavenly Armor suit making her stand out. ¡°Teacher Guan, why are you here?¡± Inquired a female classmate. Considering that primary dungeons were typically for those below level 20, Guan Ya, having surpassed that level, seemed out of place. Some wouldn¡¯t even enter without a special contract. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Xiao Min,¡± Guan Ya smiled. ¡°Teacher is just here to have a look,¡± Xiao Min nodded, her gaze shifting to Zhao Xing. ¡°Hey, Zhao Xing is here too. Why are you level 9?¡± She remembered Zhao Xing being only level 1 not long ago. ¡°Uh, this is a long story,¡± Zhao Xing replied. ¡°Teacher Guan and I just happened to run into each other. You guys chat. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± With a wave, he bid farewell to Guan Ya. ¡°Okay, be safe,¡± Guan Ya waved back. ¡°Huimin, I¡¯m leaving too. Be careful.¡± ¡°Okay, Miss Guan Ya, goodbye.¡± ¡°Goodbye, Sister Ya.¡± As Guan Ya and Zhao Xing departed, Chen Xiao Min pondered the discrepancy between their story and what she witnessed. Was there a connection between Zhao Xing¡¯s sudden level increase and Guan Ya¡¯s mage attire? Gossip fueled her imagination. Late at night, Zhao Xing took the express train back to his home in the community. His parents, like many others, were working away, and the brightly lit house greeted him. Upon entering, he discovered his younger brother, Zhao Ming, playing with fire magic. ¡°Zhao Ming, how many times have I told you not to play with fire at home!¡± Zhao Xing scolded, concerned about the safety of their living space. ¡°If you light the house on fire, then where will we live? Under the flyover?¡± Said Zhao Xing. ¡°Ouch!¡± Zhao Ming covered his head, the fireball extinguished, and said, ¡°Brother, I was bored and waiting for you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re great at fire magic, aren¡¯t you, rolling fireballs when you¡¯re bored?¡± Said Zhao Xing. ¡°You came back so late but also said that I¡­¡± ¡°Oh? How dare you talk back? I think you are itchy.¡± ¡°Hey, don¡¯t, don¡¯t, brother, I was wrong,¡± Zhao Ming quickly apologized, avoiding his brother¡¯s disapproval, despite being a fire mage in his main combat profession. ¡°Have you eaten yet?¡± Asked Zhao Xing. ¡°Not yet,¡± Zhao Ming replied. ¡°Then come over and help me cook,¡± Zhao Xing clapped his hands. ¡°Brother, what are we eating today?¡± Zhao Ming¡¯s energy surged at the mention of food. ¡°Scrambled eggs with tomatoes.¡± S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Ah, scrambled eggs with tomatoes again.¡± ¡°Are you eating it or not?¡± ¡°Eat, eat, I¡¯ll eat,¡± Zhao Ming muttered, and then a flame emerged from his palm. Zhao Xing skillfully set the pan on the ball of fire emitted by his brother. Not long after, the aroma was overflowing. Having a brother with fire magic was a money saver. ¡°Increase the fire, you want to eat it raw?¡± Zhao Xing reprimanded. ¡°Ow, okay.¡± Zhao Ming hurriedly controlled the flames to become bigger. Ahh, Fire Magic used to cook for his brother. This was really not a mouthful of rice for nothing. At twelve o¡¯clock, in Nanhu Province Education Department, the meeting at this time had just dispersed. The 11 strongest people hadn¡¯t left yet. The headmaster, Yang Tianming, was anxiously waiting outside the conference room, uncertain about the top¡¯s decision regarding Zhao Xing¡¯s future. Soon, Zhang Haiqiang walked out. Yang Tianming greeted him eagerly, ¡°Leader, how is it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he will be treated with top-notch treatment,¡± Zhang Haiqiang smiled. ¡°Great.¡± Yang Tianming clenched his fist. Zhao Xing, a genius from his school, now garnered attention from higher-ups, and he couldn¡¯t be more excited. ¡°Tianming, go back immediately and make some preparations. I¡¯ll arrange for someone to connect with you,¡± Zhang Haiqiang instructed. ¡°Make sure to let Zhao Xing feel the country¡¯s sincerity towards him, as well as the confidentiality and security work.¡± ¡°Yes, Leader, I will definitely get it done.¡± Yang Tianming left happily. As Zhang Haiqiang was about to take a break, a commotion arose in the conference room. Several people gathered around, looking agitated. ¡°Impossible, how is this possible?¡± ¡°Quick, let me try!¡± ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll be the test subject. Hit me!¡± Zhang Haiqiang approached Elder Lin, the Nanhu Province¡¯s number one enchanter, inquiring about the commotion. ¡°Elder Lin, what are Elder Liu and Elder Shen doing here? Why are they still fighting here? What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Feng, with an agitated face, explained, ¡°Old Zhang, big discovery, a big discovery! We overlooked a key issue in the meeting ¡ª no comprehensive test on that ring!¡± Zhang Haiqiang looked serious, ¡°That ring, there¡¯s a problem?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not a fake! It¡¯s that enchanted ring with extra effects!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± ¡°The problem is too big! Just now, I put on that ring with the [Knockback] effect and tested it. Do you know what happened? With one punch, I knocked Old Liu back three meters! I¡¯m only a level 51 Enchanter, while Old Liu is a level 60 Sword Fighter!¡± Zhang Haiqiang was first puzzled, then reacted violently and asked, ¡°Is what you said true?¡± ¡°A thousand times true. If you don¡¯t believe me, take a look at this test of Old Shen and Old Liu!¡± Lin Feng pointed to the open space in the conference room, where the two were engaged in an exciting demonstration. ¡­ Chapter 7 - Forced knockout, the test results shocked everyone! Chapter 7: Forced knockout, the test results shocked everyone! The convention hall was exceedingly spacious, following the arrangement of front and rear seating. Positioned in the front was a stage designated for speeches, with a line of seats below. Presently, Shen Yun, a [Disassembler] at level 50, stood across from Liu Qingshan, a [Sword Fighter] at level 60. ¡°As we all know, whenever an auxiliary profession advances, the increase in four-dimensional attributes is significantly lower compared to the primary combat profession. Moreover, the skills of the auxiliary professions tend to be more potent.¡± ¡°Observe, Lao Shen is currently engaged to Lao Liu!¡± Enchanter Lin Feng exclaimed as Shen Yun delivered a punch to Liu Qingshan. Immediately, a beam of light appeared on the chest of the level 60 sword fighter, causing him to step back four consecutive paces¡ªknocked back by two meters! ¡°Look, I was pushed back!¡± Lin Feng said with an excited expression. ¡°It¡¯s true, it¡¯s true!¡± ¡°I comprehend.¡± Zhang Haiqiang nodded. ¡°Is it due to the influence of this ring?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Feng nodded emphatically. ¡°Lao Zhang, Lao Shen¡¯s attributes aren¡¯t just one level behind Lao Liu. A level 51 disassembler managed to repel a level 60 sword fighter, the main combat profession!¡± ¡°This is truly incredible.¡± Zhang Haiqiang took a deep breath, understanding the significance of this revelation. Under normal circumstances, various skill effects were restricted when facing different targets and levels in actual combat. Taking the [Warrior] profession as an example, a junior martial artist (level 10) possessed a skill called [Crash], forming a gas shield in front of them to knock targets into the air. However, this effect was nullified when facing a significantly higher-level target. For instance, a level 10 junior martial artist attempting to collide with a level 60 sword fighter would hit them at all, producing no knock-up effect due to the vast attribute difference. This principle applied to skills as well as equipment. Most equipment effects were limited when facing foes with substantially higher attributes, resulting in failure or immunity. Zhang Haiqiang and his group delved into various occupational studies. In terms of professional understanding, few could rival them. The current scenario was a simple test that uncovered the uniqueness of Zhao Xing¡¯s enchanted ring. ¡°It actually disregarded the level difference and induced a forced repulsion effect!¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, as an enchanter, this ring doesn¡¯t fall under primary enchantment, does it?¡± Zhang Haiqiang inquired. ¡°It definitely doesn¡¯t belong to primary enchantment. It might even be classified as advanced enchantment. However, further testing is required to determine its full potential,¡± Lin Feng pondered and replied. ¡°Old Liu didn¡¯t utilize his combat skills earlier, so he was defenseless. We need to observe again.¡± Zhang Haiqiang couldn¡¯t resist saying, ¡°Old Liu, use your equipment for defense! Test the limits of this ring!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Liu Qingshan signaled his readiness to Shen Yun in front of him. Subsequently, he activated a skill from his level 40 purple equipment on his wrist¡ªmotionless as a mountain. A purple translucent light enveloped Liu Qingshan. Shen Yun delivered an ordinary straight punch. Observing closely, Zhang Haiqiang and Lin Feng noted that the purple light on Liu Qingshan¡¯s body vanished after persisting for a second. ¡°Thump, thump, thump!¡± The level 60 sword fighter was still repelled, but this time, he only took two steps back, pushed away by more than a meter. The [Knockback] effect had been halved. Yet, Zhang Haiqiang, Lin Feng, and the others couldn¡¯t help but marvel. ¡°The knockback effect induced by the Nameless Ring has an exceptionally high priority! Even a level 40 purple outfit can¡¯t entirely counteract this effect.¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re mistaken!¡± Lin Feng shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s not the ring. It¡¯s the enchantment effect! Zhao Xing¡¯s enchanting skill bestows this ring with remarkable power. His talent is truly unimaginable, challenging the career theories we¡¯ve established.¡± At this point, not only Liu Qingyun but the rest of the group also took turns testing it on the field. Utilizing their equipment and skills, they took turns experiencing the enchanting effect of the ring, providing a source of entertainment for the prominent figures in Nanhu Province. Eventually, Zhang Haiqiang, the head of the Education Department, took the lead in personally testing the ring¡¯s limits by employing advanced martial arts skills [Superior Body]. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s convene a brief meeting now,¡± Zhang Haiqiang declared, beckoning everyone to sit once more. ¡°Based on the results of our recent tests, we have gained valuable insights. The knockback effect of this ring can impact the majority of main combat professional skills up to level 60. Currently, only the mastery skills of high-level martial artists in the martial arts branch can completely counteract this effect. Additionally, among purple equipment below level 50, only king-grade equipment can render the ring ineffective.¡± Upon summarizing the findings, Zhang Haiqiang found himself momentarily at a loss for words. This discovery had completely pushed the boundaries of their understanding. It was a level 1 white ring, and achieving such a profound effect was unprecedented. He estimated that everyone present would need to revisit their career reports in light of this ring, requiring modifications to existing theories on equipment and skill restraints. ¡°Mr. Lin, as an enchanter, please share your insights,¡± Zhang Haiqiang requested from Lin Feng, acknowledging him as the true professional expert among the eleven present. Lin Feng cleared his throat before stating, ¡°From preliminary speculation, Zhao Xing¡¯s talent likely enables him to apply random rules to enchant equipment. Essentially, resistance is only possible if the energy level surpasses 60, classifying it as [Rule Enchanting].¡± This revelation left everyone else in stunned silence. An energy level exceeding 60 was already considered first-class powerhouse territory, and the research summaries in this field were closely guarded secrets among nations. ¡°Why wasn¡¯t this information included in Yang Tianming¡¯s report? Is there more to it?¡± Someone inquired. ¡°It¡¯s straightforward,¡± explained Sword Fighter Liu Qingyun, shaking his head. ¡°Either Yang Tianming was unaware of this high-end knowledge, or he overlooked it, much like we did initially. As for Zhao Xing, he may not be aware of it himself.¡± ¡°Indeed,¡± Shen Yun concurred, nodding. ¡°He¡¯s just a trainee enchanter, lacking even basic advanced knowledge. It¡¯s normal if he doesn¡¯t comprehend it.¡± The primary and intermediate knowledge advancement for major occupations was publicly accessible in classrooms. However, advanced and top professional knowledge advancement remained under the jurisdiction of the state. Without access to advanced knowledge, leveling up beyond a certain point was impossible. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Minister Zhang, if this matter involves advanced or top professional knowledge, shouldn¡¯t it be reported to higher authorities?¡± Someone suggested. Zhang Haiqiang rubbed his temples and sighed. He had initially thought Nanhu Province had a genius, only to discover a prodigy. The Education Department of Nanhu Province now needed to exercise caution. ¡°Let¡¯s wait a bit longer,¡± Lin Feng interjected. ¡°After all, this ring is only temporary. There are only two days left. Reporting to higher-ups now wouldn¡¯t be appropriate. By the time they send someone, the ring may no longer be functional. Currently, we can still test Zhao Xing¡¯s enchanted equipment. My suggestion is to wait until he crafts his first piece of permanently enchanted equipment.¡± Chapter 8 - The Five Major Systems and Advanced Knowledge! Chapter 8: The Five Major Systems and Advanced Knowledge! In the early morning of the following day, the scene was set within the Iron Armored Porcupine dungeon, where Zhao Xing and Guan Ya made their appearance. ¡°Hehe~¡± ¡°¡± The menacing roar of a monster echoed not far away, creating an ominous atmosphere. Zhao Xing, glancing at Guan Ya shining with a purple light beside him, felt an immediate sense of security. ¡°Zhao Xing, stay here and don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll handle the monster-killing for you,¡± Guan Ya instructed, holding a staff in her hand, her words sounding strangely familiar to Zhao Xing. Oh, Sister Ya said the same thing yesterday. ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t worry, Sister Ya. I won¡¯t wander around,¡± assured Zhao Xing. Guan Ya nodded and cast a water spell on the distant armored porcupine. After a while, a prompt appeared on Zhao Xing¡¯s panel: sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°[Your teammate killed the armored porcupine, affected by the ¡®cooperation contract,¡¯ this killing experience is exclusive to you! You gain 341 experience points.].¡± ¡°It¡¯s so cool,¡± Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. While other students took risks and toiled to level up, he had a beautiful teacher escorting him. If the other students knew about it, they would probably be bursting with envy. Idle and bored, Zhao Xing observed Guan Ya¡¯s method of dispatching monsters with water magic. Blue Star had numerous occupations, broadly categorized into five major combat divisions: Technician, Magic, Martial Arts, Psychic, and Ability. These were further divided into tens of thousands of sub-occupations. The Psychic Department had the fewest occupations but was considered to have the greatest potential. It was so rare that finding one could earn a recommendation regardless of the country. The next rare category was the ability system. Debates regarding which profession was stronger were endless as Blue Star¡¯s levels and dungeons increased gradually. In the beginning, Martial Daoists were recognized as the strongest when the dungeons were at level 20. However, as time passed, the magic and ability departments rose to prominence with the discovery of advanced knowledge and higher-level dungeons. With the exploration of the level 60 dungeon, the title of the strongest combat power was successively taken by a fire mage from the magic department and then a Psychic from the Psychic Department. ¡°Reaching level 60 and above, completing career advancement, that¡¯s when you can call yourself extraordinary. This is the essence of the Transcendent Academy,¡± Zhao Xing contemplated. ¡°Now, with dungeons and levels exceeding 70, I wonder if there will be stronger professions emerging in the future. Could it be the era when auxiliary professions dominate?¡± On Blue Star, only a few major countries, including China, possessed a comprehensive knowledge of transcendental advancement and the ability to cultivate auxiliary professions. Smaller countries often prioritized attribute points for their main combat occupations, leaving little room for auxiliary occupations. Zhao Xing often witnessed ineffective protests from certain small countries on the news, expressing discontent against powerful nations entering their territories without consent. This practice, euphemistically termed ¡°humanitarian assistance,¡± often involved strong individuals from other countries invading dungeons born in the land of smaller nations. China, on the other hand, followed a more organized approach. When engaging in exchanges with extraordinary professionals, they would apply in advance and submit to inspections. The euphemism for this practice was ¡°humanitarian assistance,¡± and Zhao Xing often saw ineffective protests from certain small countries on the news. Protests against the extraordinary powers of certain countries for entering other territories without consent were common. Unlike China, these nations lacked a system for applying and inspecting extraordinary professions, leaving them vulnerable to invasion by strong individuals from other countries. ¡°It¡¯s fortunate to be born in a big country. Otherwise, what kind of chaos would this world be in¡­ Oh, I¡¯ve leveled up?¡± A warm current interrupted Zhao Xing¡¯s wandering thoughts. When gaining experience by killing monsters, he would often feel this way¡ªa ray of light appearing on the monster¡¯s body and being absorbed. However, this time, the sensation was particularly strong, similar to the comfort of a hot bath in winter, spreading throughout his body. It was the distinct feeling of the comprehensive rise of four-dimensional attributes during a level-up, a sensation only leveling-up could bring. Curious, he opened the panel to inspect the progress. As expected, he had reached level 10! [Name: Zhao Xing].[Occupation: Enchanter (Apprentice)].[Level: Level 10 (3%)].[Power: 55].[Physical Strength: 55].[Speed: 20].[Spirit: 200].[Equipment: None].[Skill 1: Simple Enchanting: Enchant an item to slightly increase its original attributes for a while.].[Talent 1: Multiple Amplification (Level 1): When performing enchantment, get a 10-fold amplification effect. If temporary enchantment, the duration also increases by 10 times.].[Talent 2: Original Blessing (Level 1): When performing enchanting, it is 100% successful, with a chance of powerful special effects (attribute boost, skill boost, rule boost, concept boost).]. ¡°Level 10! Once I complete the knowledge advancement, I can be promoted from a trainee enchanter to a junior enchanter,¡± Zhao Xing remarked with a smile. However, he noticed that despite reaching level 10, the two talents remained unchanged, possibly due to the absence of advancement. ¡°Sister Ya! We can head back now!¡± Zhao Xing called toward Guan Ya. Without advancement, killing monsters wouldn¡¯t yield experience, so they needed to return. ¡°Oh, here we come! Have you reached level 10?¡± Guan Ya asked, waving the staff in her hand. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s already level 10. Thanks for your hard work, Sister Ya,¡± Zhao Xing expressed his gratitude. If not for Guan Ya¡¯s guidance, leveling up as an auxiliary profession would have been challenging. Regardless of the school¡¯s arrangement, Guan Ya was the one responsible for his progress. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to school. I¡¯m looking forward to your performance after completing the advancement stage. The principal and others are also very concerned about this,¡± Guan Ya said with a smile. After taking the express train back to Anyang No. 1 High School, Principal Yang Tianming, who had received the news, was waiting in the office. He even prepared a cup of coffee for Zhao Xing. ¡°Zhao Xing, are you tired? You must be exhausted after staying in the dungeon for so long. Come, have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself,¡± Yang Tianming suggested. Zhao Xing was puzzled. He hadn¡¯t exerted much effort, given that he mostly rested in the dungeon. The monster killing was all thanks to Guan Ya. Pushing the coffee to Guan Ya, Zhao Xing said, ¡°Principal, I¡¯m not tired. I¡¯ve had enough rest in the dungeon. Teacher Guan Ya took good care of me. Let¡¯s talk about advanced knowledge.¡± ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s right. Teacher Guan Ya has worked hard,¡± Yang Tianming chuckled. ¡°I¡¯ve already arranged for advanced knowledge to be brought here soon!¡± Chapter 9 - King-Grade Equipment, The Hat of the Scholar! Chapter 9: King-Grade Equipment, The Hat of the Scholar![General Outline of Material Enchantment], [All Material Types], [Material Attribute Compatibility and Restraint], [The First Explanation of Skill Enchantment]¡­ There were dozens of volumes in front. Each book emitted a faint brilliance that contained some sort of magical power. Zhao Xing took a cursory glance. These all belonged to the category of Primary Enchanter. It was reasonable that the theoretical knowledge learned before could be fulfilled all the way up to level 60 if the advancement was completed. In other words, if all of this advanced knowledge were learned, there would be no bottleneck before level 60. Compared to the main combat profession, the auxiliary profession had less of a bottleneck between levels 10 and 60. This was considered an occupational advantage. ¡°Junior Zhao, the school has also prepared something specially for you.¡± Principal Yang Tianming pointed to a piece of equipment placed on the table. A silver-white spiked hat that seemed to be woven from the spit of some creature. It looked as if it was a mage¡¯s hat. Next to the hat were some bottles and jars that looked as if they were some sort of alchemical magic potions. Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t tell the name of those bottles and jars. But this mage hat surprised Zhao Xing. It actually glowed with a red light. This meant that it was King-Grade Equipment! It was the red equipment that was even rarer than the purple equipment! ¡°Principal, could this be¡­¡± Yang Tianming was satisfied with Zhao Xing¡¯s expression and pushed the hat over with a smile. ¡°Here, try it on.¡± ¡°Put it on, and you¡¯ll understand.¡± Zhao Xing put the hat on. This hat was active and had a certain contraction function. The hat slowly fitted onto his head. The weight felt almost zero, it didn¡¯t feel cramped, and it fit the shape of his head. An icy cold sensation came. Zhao Xing instantly felt much more awake. Yes, awake! Previously, that could only be considered active at best, but now it was awake! [Hat of the Scholar].[Level: 10 (Minimum Wearing Requirements, No Occupation Restrictions)]].[Quality: King (Red)]. Attributes: Mental Strength +100, Physical Strength +100 [Blessing of the Scholar: Recovers 10 points of mental strength and 10 points of physical strength every minute. This effect is doubled when the wearer enters a learning state.].[¡°A hat made from the spitting silk of a thousand-year-old ice worm is so perfect for studying! This way, the student can work on the subject for me day and night.¡± ¨CSazman the Scholar]. Zhao Xing was stunned after reading the attributes. Sure enough, it was King-Grade Equipment! Normally, level 10 equipment added very little to the four-dimensional attributes. White equipment generally had 1-10 points, blue equipment 10-20 points, and purple equipment 20-50 points. However, king-grade equipment directly added 100 points and had two attribute bonuses! Calculating it out, a single piece of equipment raised the four-dimensional attributes by 200 points! S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With a single piece of equipment, it was almost as good as Zhao Xing¡¯s attributes. Even more exaggerated was this [Blessing of the Scholar]. It restored 10 points of physical strength and 10 points of mental strength every minute, and the effect was doubled in the learning state. It was simply a recovery artifact! ¡°It¡¯s worthy of being a King-Grade Equipment!¡± Zhao Xing exclaimed from the bottom of his heart. Seeing this, Yang Tianming laughed, ¡°This is a good thing that I applied for overnight and brought it back from the Education Department.¡± ¡°Level 10 King Grade Equipment only drops from the lord monsters of limited dungeons, with a drop chance of over one in ten thousand.¡± Zhao Xing was also well aware of the preciousness of this type of equipment. It was because low-level monsters didn¡¯t drop Legendary and Divine Artifacts. That was why King-Grade Equipment was the highest quality of low-level equipment. Another special thing about King-Grade Equipment was that it would have a line of characters. It signified the source of provenance or certain stories. Like the Hat of the Scholar, it was from a special dungeon. It was a dungeon that only the [Scholar], a support professional, could enter. ¡°This equipment that the school prepared for you, is it still satisfactory?¡± Yang Tianming asked. ¡°Satisfied, too satisfied,¡± Zhao Xing nodded his head vigorously. Although it was said that Blue Star gamified and many transcendent professions appeared, however, many things were still on the realistic side. The study and research of advanced knowledge required the consumption of physical strength and energy, and the same was true for the process of enchanting. But with this equipment, he would be able to extend the duration. It wouldn¡¯t fatigue so easily. ¡°It¡¯s good to be satisfied. The bottles and jars next to this are all magic potions for physical and mental strength recovery. The Education Department¡¯s masters made all. It¡¯s divided into two categories. One is of a restorative nature. If the Hat of the Scholar is not enough, you can take these potions. The other is one that permanently increases physical strength and mental strength. It¡¯s meant to round up your attributes. This type of variety is relatively small. It¡¯s still in the process of being collected, and some more should be sent over in the follow-up.¡± Yang Tianming explained, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve specially screened them. None of them have any negative effects.¡± Zhao Xing didn¡¯t know what to say at this point. Words of thanks were too simple to express his gratitude to the country and the school. So he just nodded gently. This performance, on the contrary, made Yang Tianming nod appreciatively. The gratitude that floated on the surface might not be remembered in the heart. It was the unspoken thanks that would be remembered. It was this effect that he wanted! Yang Tianming had long ago done some background research through Guan Ya. The father was a soldier, the mother¡¯s popularity was also very good, and the family education environment was good. Usually much help to classmates, not the kind of maverick, silent, and withdrawn personality. What did this prove? It was proof that Zhao Xing¡¯s heart nature was not the kind of heartless person! Could such a glorious talent forget the alma mater today on his cultivation? That¡¯s why Yang Tianming was so attached to it, not all because of the orders from above. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t bother you much. Teacher Guan, you should tutor Zhao Xing. This is a separate study room. No one will bother you. If you have any needs or difficulties, feel free to mention them to the school,¡± said Yang Tianming. ¡°Okay, Principal,¡± Guan Ya nodded. ¡­ With Yang Tianming gone, Guan Ya and Zhao Xing were left in the empty study room. After recovering his emotions for a short while, Zhao Xing plunged into business. He looked towards the books in front of him that were emitting a shimmering light. Picking up the General Outline of Material Enchantment. The progression from Trainee Enchanter to Primary Enchanter only required this book. The rest were all branches of skills after entering Junior Possessor. In other words, the General Outline of Material Enchantment was the main tree of knowledge. Material Enchantment was also the focus of the Junior Enchanter. After learning it, the panel would change accordingly, and the bottleneck would disappear. The rest was to increase the depth of the junior enchanter¡¯s occupational knowledge. ¡°¡± After picking up the General Outline of Material Enchantment, Zhao Xing felt a power pouring into his mind. A prompt floated before his eyes. [Do you want to learn the Primary Enchanter Advanced Knowledge? This learning requires the consumption of physical and mental energy and lasts for a certain amount of time.] ¡°Learn!¡± Zhao Xing¡¯s mind moved. He then felt a lot of knowledge appear within his brain. The knowledge came flying out of his mind, at one point causing his brain to feel a little bloated. On the attribute panel, the two items, Physical Strength and Mental Strength, dropped violently by 20 and 50 points. The decline then became smaller. Three more prompts followed: [Warning, you are entering a state of mild fatigue.] [Blessing of the Scholar activates: you enter a learning state, physical strength and mental strength rapidly recovering.] [Mild fatigue state has been eliminated.]. Chapter 10 - Advancement Knowledge, Specialties, and Skills! Chapter 10: Advancement Knowledge, Specialties, and Skills! [The learning progress of ¡°General Outline of Enchanting Materials¡± is 10%].[You gain the specialty low-level mental toughness from professional knowledge: +3 Will Determination]. With the acquisition of advanced knowledge, Zhao Xing soon reaped the rewards. Gaining a substantial amount of knowledge in an instant granted him a specialty: Low-Level Mental Toughness. The added effect of will determination could enhance his resistance when facing certain illusionary effects. This specialty operated passively, automatically triggering as needed. Different from skills, expertise would be broken through and advanced in the future, not acquired through skills, and its source varied. Time passed slowly, and Zhao Xing¡¯s mental and physical strength continuously fluctuated between decline and replenishment, oscillating between light fatigue and normal values. Career advancement, much like retreat and breakthrough, was not an overnight affair. While it might be less troublesome for main battle professions, auxiliary occupations faced a different challenge. The knowledge stored in the general outline of enchanting materials was vast, similar to the expansive sky. Advancing to the elementary level might be straightforward for some soldiers, requiring little time to learn techniques, form muscle memory, and genetically modify the body. However, auxiliary professions posed a different set of challenges. Retaining such a wealth of knowledge was no easy feat. Amidst his concentration on the material, Zhao Xing entertained a fleeting thought about potential future baldness. Most support job bosses depicted on TV were elderly men. Would becoming stronger offset the potential baldness? Would it be as daunting as it seemed? The thought quickly dissipated as he refocused on organizing professional knowledge. Soon, Zhao Xing realized the joy of exploring the professional knowledge tree. The transition from ignorance to knowledge provided a satisfying sense of accomplishment. [The learning progress of ¡°General Outline of Enchanting Materials¡± is 30%].[You gain the specialty: High Concentration ¨C 10% increase in learning and enchanting speed]. With the acquisition of ¡°High Concentration,¡± Zhao Xing felt his knowledge sorting speed accelerate, making the process more manageable. The ¡°Hat of the Scholar¡± played a crucial role in this achievement, doubling the recovery speed of his physical and mental strength during the learning state. Time seemed to slip away unnoticed as he entered a ¡®mind flow¡¯ state. Contrary to the common belief that advancing knowledge was tedious and painful, Zhao Xing found the experience rather refreshing and enjoyable. He couldn¡¯t fathom why others would perceive it differently. Unbeknownst to him, his luxurious equipment, especially the meticulously chosen ¡°Hat of the Scholar¡± by Principal Yang Tianming, significantly contributed to his smooth advancement. Level 10 king-grade equipment held a value comparable, if not superior, to level 30 equipment. Rich individuals were willing to invest heavily in such equipment to expedite the career paths of their descendants. With the abundance of magic potions, the Hat of the Scholar, paired with these potions, could fetch a substantial sum if sold on the market. The Education Department¡¯s purchase price was considerably lower, benefiting from the vast material reserves and cost advantages of a nation. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ [The learning progress of ¡°General Outline of Enchanting Materials¡± is 60%].[You gain special element perception from professional knowledge: the perception of magic materials is increased by 10%.]. Obtaining this practical specialty marked another achievement for Zhao Xing. Given the current dungeons¡¯ tendency to produce more materials than equipment, the increased ability to perceive magic materials was highly valuable. Unlike equipment, many materials did not provide clear indications of their function or quality, offering only subtle hints through their names. This uncharted territory was left for exploration, falling within the domain of auxiliary occupations. Disassemblers often used simple and crude methods to identify materials, breaking them apart to inspect. This approach, however, was frowned upon by more sophisticated enchanters who believed it destroyed the internal elemental structure. Element perception, on the other hand, offered a more refined method. Without compromising the material¡¯s structure, one could discern its purpose and applications and fully exploit its properties. This translated into a higher four-dimensional attribute bonus when using the same enchanting material¡ªa feat not easily achieved through the main career tree but rather through continuous expansion of the occupation branch skills. Zhao Xing¡¯s current wave of progress proved to be quite fortunate. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. [The learning progress of ¡°General Outline of Enchanting Materials¡± is 80%].[You gain the specialty Life Fluctuations from professional knowledge: the effect on life-type enchantment increases by 5%.]. Another low-level specialty was acquired, albeit one that was less popular. Focused on life-type enchantment, this specialty fell under the category of [Living Enchantment]. Living enchantment dealt with professions like mechanical warriors, where the physical body was weak, and machinery played a vital role. For enchanters, this meant considering not only the attributes or skills of prosthetics but also the integration of flesh and blood. The specialty of life fluctuations had broad adaptability, extending to areas like enchanting pets of beast masters categorized as [Lava-like life]. While useful, it was considered unpopular due to the prerequisites and specific skills required for effective use. After a considerable amount of time had passed, the learning progress of ¡°General Outline of Material Enchanting¡± finally reached 100%. Zhao Xing opened his eyes suddenly. [The learning progress of ¡°General Outline of Enchanting Materials¡± is 100%].[You have become a junior enchanter!].[The career knowledge tree has been opened!].[You have comprehended ¡®Elementary Attribute Enchanting¡¯].[You comprehend the ¡®Elementary Material Enchantment¡¯].[You comprehend simple spiritual cultivation and simple material transformation! Simple material fusion!].[You comprehend the primary material identification technique.]. A surge of heat spread throughout his body, clearing his mind. Alongside these skills and expertise, there were additional reminders that demanded attention. [Knowledge advancement is completed, your strength +1, physical strength +3, speed +1, mental strength +20 points.].[You gain 10 free attribute points!]. ¡°The advanced stage has been completed,¡± Zhao Xing reflected, a hint of dissatisfaction evident. With the Hat of the Scholar¡¯s blessing, the process had been neither tiresome nor boring. On the contrary, he found himself eager to delve into the ocean of knowledge once again. However, Guan Ya had been patiently waiting, and he couldn¡¯t keep her waiting any longer. ¡°Zhao Xing, are you awake?¡± Guan Ya inquired as he opened his eyes, approaching him. ¡°How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?¡± ¡°Sister Ya, I¡¯m fine,¡± Zhao Xing reassured her with a slight smile. ¡°I¡¯m already a junior enchanter.¡± ¡°Ah, so fast?¡± Guan Ya exclaimed. ¡°I thought it would take you a whole day to finish it, but I didn¡¯t expect it only took four hours.¡± ¡°But that¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t worry if it¡¯s okay. You didn¡¯t move for four hours, and you frowned and smiled sometimes. I was afraid that you would go crazy.¡± ¡°Uh, four hours so long?¡± Zhao Xing was shocked. Though not overly extended, it was longer than usual for many people. The luxurious configuration he enjoyed had enabled him to persist. As for Guan Ya¡¯s failure to manage facial expressions, it was likely a result of his state during knowledge sorting. ¡°Quickly, let me see your panel,¡± Guan Ya requested. ¡°I¡¯ll report it.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Xing nodded with a smile, presenting his panel. Chapter 11 - The permanent equipment will come out soon? Education Department goes to Anyang! Chapter 11: The permanent equipment will come out soon? Education Department goes to Anyang! [Name: Zhao Xing].[Occupation: Enchanter (Elementary)].[Level: Level 10 (3%)].[Power: 56].[Physical Strength: 158].[Speed: 21].[Spirit: 300].[Equipment: Hat of the Scholar].[Occupation Tree: Opened].[Specialty: Basic mental resilience, heightened concentration, life fluctuation, element perception.].[Skills: Fundamental attribute enchantment, basic material enchantment, basic material identification, straightforward spiritual training, uncomplicated material transformation, straightforward material fusion.].[Free attribute points: 10, (allocated)].[Professional Branch: Unlocked]. In contrast to the past, Zhao Xing gained numerous skills and expertise. Initially, [Simple Enchanting] from the apprenticeship stage transformed into [Elementary Attribute Enchanting]. Its purpose remained the amplification of non-living entities¡¯ four-dimensional properties. No materials were needed, and the effect was temporary. Compared to simple enchantment, primary attribute enchantment boasted a more potent effect. [Elementary Material Enchanting] stands out as the primary core skill. With materials, the enchantment effect can be [permanent]. This ensured a lasting impact of the enchantment¡¯s effects. The distinction between primary material enchantment and primary attribute enchantment extended beyond this. [Elementary material identification] is self-explanatory and a crucial skill associated with advanced knowledge. The ¡®Elemental Perception¡¯ specialty granted bonuses to this skill, but it was confined to materials in the magic system. Primary materials encompass those in the magic system, martial arts system, mechanical system, mind power system, and supernatural power system. [Simple spiritual cultivation]: Accelerates mental power recovery and sustains it for an extended period, with a chance for a permanent 1-3 point increase in mental power.[Simple material transformation]: Slightly modifies material without disrupting the original structure, with a chance to enhance the material¡¯s properties.[Simple Material Fusion]: Merging materials may birth new attribute effects with a certain probability. Zhao Xing¡¯s panel was extensive, but Guan Ya read it attentively. Though not fully comprehending, her primary focus remained on the term ¡®junior enchanter.¡¯ The effort put into training had now borne fruit. Guan Ya felt relieved, and Zhao Xing was elated. The chasm between a junior enchanter and an apprentice enchanter was substantial. Survival before level 10 was nearly impossible, but post-level 10, sustaining the family became feasible through equipment enchantment. Especially with material fusion and material modification. These skills were humorously dubbed ¡®material gambling.¡¯ Some junior enchanters might strike luck and synthesize rare purple materials. However, it was also probable that the internal structure was ruined, resulting in a worthless heap. Ordinary junior enchanters hesitate to gamble with valuable materials to avoid financial ruin. Moreover, Zhao Xing¡¯s talent had evolved. [Talent 1: Multiple Amplification (Level 2), during enchantment, experience a 20-fold amplification effect! For temporary enchantments, the duration increases by 20 times.].[Talent 2: Blessing of the Origin (Level 2), guaranteeing 100% success during enchantment, with a 2% chance of potent special effects! These include, but are not limited to, attribute boost, skill boost, rule boost, and concept boost.]. The multiple increases had surged from 10 times to 20 times, signifying a substantial enhancement. The Blessing of the Origin, once vague, now adhered to a specific probability standard. While 2% might seem modest, its significance depends on the circumstances. With Zhao Xing¡¯s 100% enchanting success rate, even at 2%, he wouldn¡¯t incur losses, right?! ¡­ ¡°Zhao Xing, would you prefer to take a break, engage in level training, or continue studying the professional branch?¡± Inquired Guan Ya. ¡°I¡¯m good,¡± replied Zhao Xing with a smile. ¡°It depends on the school¡¯s arrangements.¡± Acknowledging the school¡¯s significant support, he aimed to reciprocate with gratitude and cooperation. ¡°Then let¡¯s go to see the principal first.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Upon reaching the principal¡¯s office, Yang Tianming extended congratulations to Zhao Xing before delving into the main topic. ¡°Zhao Xing, I recommend advancing your level promptly to accumulate enough attribute points. It¡¯s crucial to craft equipment with the [Permanent] effect, allowing me to provide a satisfactory explanation to higher authorities. The Nameless Ring you submitted previously only features a temporary enchantment effect.¡± Yang Tianming articulated his thoughts, aligning with the Education Department of Nanhu Province¡¯s stance. After attaining the status of a junior enchanter, could the talent consistently maintain its effectiveness? Would there be diminishing effects? These uncertainties required precise answers beyond mere discussions; tangible results were needed. ¡°Is [Permanent] feasible?¡± Pondered Zhao Xing, searching for his thoughts. He aspired for the enchanting effect to endure indefinitely. Achieving the elementary level in both [Material Fusion] and [Material Transformation] in the primary profession was necessary. Additionally, unlocking [Energy Structural Science] and ¡°Primary Equipment Analysis¡± in the career branch presented additional requirements. The first two were straightforward¡ªimprove skill proficiency. Given his 100% success rate, it was foreseeable that he would soon attain the elementary level. The knowledge of the latter two skills in the professional branch was within Zhao Xing¡¯s reach, but he required attribute points to acquire them. Typically, [Energy Structural Science] and [Elementary Equipment Analysis] were only accessible with the attributes of a level 30 junior enchanter. However, Zhao Xing estimated that reaching level 20 should suffice, aided by the Hat of the Scholar and an abundance of magic potions. ¡°Principal, let¡¯s arrange it like this. I¡¯ll focus on leveling up during the day and refining skill proficiency at night. As for the materials¡­¡± Zhao Xing began. Yang Tianming interjected, waving his hand, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the materials. The elementary school has plenty. We¡¯ll provide as much as you need. We¡¯re just concerned about it being tiring for you.¡± Curious about the time frame, Yang Tianming cautiously asked, ¡°How long do you estimate it will take?¡± After some calculations, Zhao Xing replied, ¡°Three days should be enough.¡± ¡°Huh? So short?¡± Yang Tianming was surprised. Zhao Xing explained, ¡°Principal, haven¡¯t you forgotten that my enchanting success rate is 100%?¡± Yang Tianming chuckled, ¡°Look at my memory.¡± Concerned about the consistency of such a high success rate, he asked, ¡°But can you still maintain such a high success rate now? Has your talent not diminished?¡± ¡°It should not be,¡± Zhao Xing reassured. Yang Tianming stood up, clapped his hands, and said, ¡°Okay, then in the next few days, I¡¯ll leave the hard work to you, Teacher Xiao Guan. By the way, Zhao Xing, do you have any other needs?¡± S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Yes,¡± Zhao Xing replied with some embarrassment. ¡°Principal, I have a younger brother. My parents are away from home, and I usually cook for him. I¡¯m planning to stay in school at night to hone my skills. Can he come over for a meal? He hasn¡¯t entered the first year of high school this year.¡± Surprised by the simplicity of the request, Yang Tianming remained silent. Realizing Zhao Xing¡¯s concern for his younger brother¡¯s well-being, he couldn¡¯t help but feel regretful for not addressing such matters sooner. Yang Tianming patted Zhao Xing on the shoulder and assured him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The teacher will arrange your brother¡¯s matter.¡± Relieved, Zhao Xing said, ¡°Then I have no problem.¡± After Zhao Xing and Guan Ya went to the dungeon base, Yang Tianming picked up the phone to address Zhao Ming¡¯s situation. He then contacted the Minister of Education, Zhang Haiqiang, to provide an update. ¡°Leader, it¡¯s me.¡± ¡°Yes, Zhao Xing has become a junior enchanter.¡± ¡°He¡¯ll be able to master the basic permanent skills in three days at most.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ll arrange it right away!¡± Yang Tianming felt excited after the call, realizing that a significant number of powerful individuals would be coming to the school for a comprehensive test on permanent equipment. The higher authorities were evidently attaching great importance to the matter. ¡°According to the highest standard? How many important people are coming? The minister¡¯s tone is really tight¡­ I have to make arrangements immediately,¡± muttered Yang Tianming as he got up and left the office. Chapter 12 - Can white equipment have such attributes? Who will believe it?! Chapter 12: Can white equipment have such attributes? Who will believe it?! In Anyang City, at the entrance to the dungeon base, Zhao Xing and Guan Ya disembarked from the express train. Immediately, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to Guan Ya. Guan Ya, adorned in the Heavenly Armor suit, was truly conspicuous. She was tall and slender, possessing remarkable beauty, clad in a lavender suit that added a touch of luxury. Zhao Xing stowed away the Scholar¡¯s Hat and refrained from wearing it. Otherwise, the king-grade equipment might attract even more attention. ¡°Sister Ya, your ability to turn heads is probably surpassing all limits,¡± Zhao Xing teased. ¡°Seems like everyone loves to gaze upon beautiful women.¡± ¡°Quit kidding, everyone is focused on the equipment, not me,¡± Guan Ya replied, a bit embarrassed. However, after Zhao Xing¡¯s remark, she instinctively straightened her posture. ¡°Speaking of which, it¡¯s all because Blue Star¡¯s gamification isn¡¯t thorough enough, and there¡¯s no space backpack or anything like that. It¡¯s all real weight,¡± Zhao Xing complained. Otherwise, Guan Ya wouldn¡¯t have to don the equipment in advance. ¡°Space-related equipment isn¡¯t out of the question,¡± Guan Ya remarked. ¡°However, space storage-type gear is top-quality and only becomes available at level 60 and above.¡± ¡°But what you said about the real weight is accurate. This Heavenly staff is genuinely heavy. A complete set may weigh around 20 kilograms.¡± Indeed, although Blue Star had seen the emergence of many professionals, certain aspects hadn¡¯t changed. Not everyone could bring their space backpack, and equipment still carried weight. Without sufficient physical strength, wearing some equipment would result in quick fatigue. It was undeniably realistic. The two conversed all the way and soon entered the dungeon. As usual, today¡¯s agenda involved slaughtering pigs. In the Armored Porcupine dungeons, they were plentiful and usually found in groups. While the porcupine boasted high physical resistance, its magic resistance was considerably low. Equipped with the Heavenly Armor set, Guan Ya could easily extract water from the porcupine¡¯s body using a single hydrocoagulation technique. Zhao Xing, now at level 10, targeted the level 15 Iron Armored Porcupines. Even after factoring in the experience penalty, they still yielded substantial experience points¡ªhis preferred choice. ¡°Hey, did you misplace your equipment?¡± Zhao Xing observed a porcupine transform into a mummy. As the corpse slowly vanished, a white light appeared, revealing a piece of leather armor on the ground. The leather armor had rough patterns, likely imprinted by the porcupine¡¯s fangs. [Porcupine Breastplate].[Level: Level 10].[Quality: Normal (White)].[Defense +10]. It was a basic white piece of equipment with attributes significantly different from the Scholar¡¯s Hat. The defense attribute didn¡¯t directly appear on the panel but was present in various equipment types. This initially puzzled many, but after exploration, elite players reached a consensus: the defense value lacked measurable significance at lower levels. Equipping full-body armor or specific professions learning energy shield skills were the only scenarios where the defense value appeared on the panel. Additionally, at the transcendence level (above 60), all professions could manipulate energy for comprehensive body protection. Even without relying on the panel, some professionals possessed high mental strength, accurately calculating dynamic defense values for each body part and using this data in battles. Monsters and professionals had life points that could only be checked when a negative state was triggered or during an attack. ¡°This white equipment weighs at least 20 kilograms, and it¡¯s worthless.¡± ¡°Only decomposers can handle these items, turning waste into something useful, or some martial arts professionals with great strength might pack them using military backpacks.¡± Since Zhao Xing¡¯s level had reached 10, meeting the dungeon¡¯s level rule interval, the penalties he incurred were weaker compared to before. On the contrary, the experience value was higher than what was obtained at level 1 and began to drop some white items from time to time. Guan Ya wasn¡¯t interested in picking up these things, and neither was Zhao Xing. However, this didn¡¯t stop him from practicing with these white pieces of equipment. After all, being idle meant wasting time. [You have enchanted the porcupine breastplate with primary attributes!].[Affected by the original blessing talent, the success rate of this enchantment is 100%, and there is no additional effect.].[Affected by the multiplier talent, the effect of this enchantment is increased by 20 times.].[Defense +200.].[Your primary attribute enchantment gains 1 point of skill proficiency.]. ¡°Very good, it still has a 100% success rate, and there is no decline in talent. I didn¡¯t know that porcupines dropped materials. Otherwise, I would be able to hone my proficiency in the two skills of ¡®material fusion¡¯ and material transformation.¡± Zhao Xing left the porcupine breastplate aside and followed Guan Ya step by step. It was also good to be able to practice the proficiency of elementary attribute enchanting. With the Hat of the Scholar, he had no fear of consuming mental and physical strength. Guan Ya slaughtered monsters all the way in front, while Zhao Xing practiced magic all the way behind. Behind him was a collection of enchanted equipment, including the porcupine breastplate, porcupine head and shoulders, porcupine boots, porcupine leather pants, etc. He could put them all together in a set, but, just like the name, it didn¡¯t actually have any set effect. One morning, Zhao Xing rose to level 12 (11%). Although more experience points were required, the speed was still not slow because, according to the contract, Zhao Xing received all the experience. Guan Ya was purely a thug. ¡°Zhao Xing, there seem to be fewer porcupines in this area. We¡¯re about to change places. Ahead is the camp of wild wolves. These wild wolves are not slow like porcupines. Follow closely,¡± Guan Ya reminded. ¡°Oh, okay. Sister Ya, do you want to take a break?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be able to reach level 13 this afternoon, so don¡¯t be so anxious,¡± Zhao Xing said ¡°Well, that¡¯s fine.¡± Guan Ya was really tired after casting spells for so long, so she took a rest at the edge of the wolf camp. It was a pity that the king-grade equipment was soul-bound, so there was no way for Guan Ya to wear it. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be so tired. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Xing and Guan Ya left the plane where the armored porcupine was. Two students also happened to pass by this place, but after searching for a long time, there was no trace of the monster. They only saw equipment in one place. ¡°Huh? Who killed all the pigs here?¡± ¡°Do you want to be so violent? Aren¡¯t the monsters in this dungeon refreshed every day? Why aren¡¯t there any at all?¡± ¡°Hey, they didn¡¯t even pick up any equipment. What arrogance.¡± A junior martial artist was carrying a military backpack and picked up the porcupine shoulder armor under his feet with great interest. But in the next second, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed. ¡°What the hell is going on? Is this attribute still that of white equipment?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The archer companion next to him asked suspiciously, ¡°What¡¯s the fuss about a piece of white equipment?¡± ¡°You won¡¯t even believe it, but the head and shoulders have gained 100 points of strength!¡± ¡°Can you find a better reason to fool me?¡± The archer looked contemptuous. ¡°See for yourself!¡± The martial artist handed the equipment to his companion. ¡°Strength +100¡­ Damn, it¡¯s actually true!¡± This 14th-level archer was stunned. ¡°No, this is enchanted. Is there a senior enchanter here?¡± ¡°Are you stupid? There is a level limit here. How can senior enchanters get in?¡± ¡°But how can a low-level enchanter have this effect? A piece of level 10 white equipment adds 100 points of strength¡­ Who will believe it if he tells it!¡± Chapter 13 - Guan Yas emotion, is the main combat profession going to be unemployed?! Chapter 13: Guan Ya¡¯s emotion, is the main combat profession going to be unemployed?! sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Gear in various orientations offered distinct bonuses. It wasn¡¯t surprising that the breastplate solely increased defense. However, the potency introduced by the shoulder armor genuinely astonished the duo. Both archers and martial artists required strength. The two promptly removed the blue equipment from their bodies and donned the white gear from the ground. ¡°Which boss is approaching? With these items, our upgrade pace is much swifter than before!¡± ¡°It makes sense. Equipped like this, I can take on a level 20 boss solo.¡± The martial artist expressed with some wistfulness, ¡°It¡¯s a shame it¡¯s time-limited and will expire in 6 days.¡± The archer also lamented that such formidable equipment could only be worn for a brief period. It was genuinely distressing. ¡°It would be fantastic if we could locate that boss.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t dwell on it. These six days are ample for us to accomplish a lot. Let¡¯s appreciate the boon of encountering a significant boss and not harbor more extravagant hopes.¡± ¡°True.¡± Reluctantly, the two departed the plains with sizable military backpacks on their backs. In the Wild wolf camp, Zhao Xing stood amid the wolf carcasses, having just reached level 13. He toyed with a repeating crossbow in his hand. After battling for an extended period, he didn¡¯t know how many hundreds of monsters he had slain. Unexpectedly, his luck surged, and a purple piece of equipment materialized! [Spike-toothed crossbow].[Level: 10].[Quality: Elite (Purple)].[50 attack power, fire rate 2, durability 1000.].[Strength +10, Speed +3, Hit Rate +5%]. Low-level purple gear typically lacked special effects, unlike king-grade items like the Hat of the Scholar. Nevertheless, this purple equipment could be deemed excellent. The attack power was moderately high for level 10 purple gear, with an additional 10 points for strength and speed, along with an improved hit rate. The rate of fire was 2, allowing for two arrows per second. The durability was 1000, decreasing with each arrow shot. ¡°Sold to archers or hunters. They could fetch thousands of dollars.¡± Without hesitation, Zhao Xing handed the item to the resting Guan Ya. ¡°Why?¡± Inquired Guan Ya. ¡°Sister Ya, the gear is rightfully yours. You slew all those monsters.¡± Guan Ya smiled and remarked, ¡°It¡¯s of no use to me. Since you¡¯re practicing enchanting, the proficiency gained from purple gear surpasses that of white and blue ones. Take it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a perfect opportunity to test the effect of enchanting purple gear.¡± Guan Ya didn¡¯t desire the crossbow. Though Yang Tianming didn¡¯t explicitly request it, she believed he wouldn¡¯t mind such a trivial matter. ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Xing didn¡¯t decline, genuinely eager to experiment. Soon, the enchanting process was complete, and to Zhao Xing¡¯s surprise, an extra effect emerged this time! [Spike-toothed crossbow].[Level: 10].[Quality: Elite (Purple)].[Status: Enchanted (temporary)].[250 attack power, 10 fire rate, 5000 durability.].[Strength +60, Speed +23, Hit Rate +25%].[Wolf¡¯s Poison: The crossbow bolts are poisonous, causing 50 points of effect per second, decreasing by 10% after 10 seconds. The venom slows the wound, causing a constant bleeding effect.]. With joy on his face, Zhao Xing examined the enchanted equipment. Undoubtedly, his talent had an unabated impact on purple gear. After enchanting the primary attribute, the effect still maintained a 20-fold increase! (Note that it is not a 20-fold increase in equipment attributes but a 20-fold increase in the level of a normal enchanter. The enchanting effect of a junior enchanter on purple equipment is about 10 points of attack power bonus, so the 20-fold effect is equal to the original attribute 50 points, 200 points.) After being enchanted, the attributes saw improvements in nearly all aspects. However, the primary focus was on enhancing a single attribute ¨C attack power. Since the primary enchantment only amplified certain effects, achieving a uniform improvement for all attributes was impossible. Nevertheless, the rate of fire, durability, and hit rate all experienced substantial increases. Despite these enhancements, Zhao Xing was uncertain about the actual combat effectiveness. To test it out, he asked Guan Ya, ¡°Sister Ya, do you have control skills in your water magic?¡± ¡°Yes, what are you planning?¡± She responded. ¡°I want to test the power of this crossbow.¡± The crossbow had a connection port at the bottom, and a quiver was attached underneath. The arrows, resembling fangs, were about the thickness of a finger and 20 centimeters long. The quiver¡¯s capacity was 20. ¡°Sure,¡± Guan Ya agreed, and they quickly located five 18-level wild wolves. ¡°Frozen!¡± Guan Ya cast a frost-type spell, causing the wolves to feel icy under their feet, limbs entangled in frost. ¡°¡± Despite their struggles, the wolves couldn¡¯t break free. Zhao Xing aimed the crossbow and pulled the trigger, but the arrow missed the mark, hitting a nearby tree. Guan Ya encouraged him, suggesting he get closer if needed. Zhao Xing shot two more arrows and, frustrated, approached the wolves, almost staring at one and pulling the trigger. ¡°¡± The arrow hit the wolf¡¯s eye socket, causing a fatal attack. [You hit the wolf¡¯s weak point, causing a fatal attack, and its power increased by 470%!].[You caused 1175 damage to wild wolves!].[You have killed wild wolves and gained 466 experience!]. Stunned, Zhao Xing realized he had killed the wolf in seconds. Guan Ya, witnessing the damage, was equally amazed. Zhao Xing proceeded to dispatch the remaining wolves, revealing damage values exceeding three thousand. Guan Ya, wearing the Heavenly Armor set as a main battle class, was astonished. Zhao Xing¡¯s damage far surpassed hers. Curious, she asked to see the crossbow¡¯s attributes. After examining them, she looked at Zhao Xing in disbelief. ¡°Sister Ya, is there something on my face?¡± Zhao Xing asked. ¡°No,¡± she replied, shaking her head, ¡°I was just thinking that in the future, you might change the situation where auxiliary jobs are unpopular. It may even cause a large number of main combat professionals to lose their jobs.¡± In Nanhu Province¡¯s Department of Education, Minister Zhang Haiqiang, Deputy Minister Liu Qingshan, and other department heads gathered. Minister Zhang Haiqiang expressed the urgency of the situation, wanting to personally witness Zhao Xing¡¯s mastery of permanent enchantment skills in about three days. He asked if anyone was willing to accompany him. Chapter 14 - Surprised, is this the strength of the country?! Chapter 14: Surprised, is this the strength of the country?!¡°Three days, how can it be so fast? What method did Yang Tianming use to help Zhao Xing improve his skill proficiency?¡± Sword Fighter Liu Qingshan was a little puzzled. Enchanter Lin Feng smiled and said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with Yang Tianming? Old Liu, you¡¯re a bit forgetful. Isn¡¯t it written in the information that the success rate is 100%?¡± Liu Qingyun couldn¡¯t help but suddenly realize, yes, every time he succeeds, how can his proficiency not increase quickly? Decomposer Shen Yun said with emotion, ¡°It¡¯s really a miraculous talent. In this way, he can have spare energy to unlock more career branches.¡± A middle-aged woman joked, ¡°Old Lin, your title as the number one enchanter in Nanhu Province will probably be handed over to someone else soon.¡± Lin Feng stroked his beard and smiled: ¡°Hahaha, I can¡¯t wait. But it seems that this kid will not only become the number one enchanter in Nanhu Province in the future, he may be the number one enchanter in the United States, no, the number one enchanter in the world!¡± Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the conference room became relaxed and happy. Zhang Haiqiang nodded and said, ¡°Since everyone is so optimistic, then it¡¯s settled like this, and we all go to Anyang to have a look.¡± ¡°As it happens, when the permanent equipment is released, it needs to conduct multi-faceted tests.¡± ¡°The matter is of great importance. I decided to ask the military to transfer some people to cooperate with the protection and testing work.¡± ¡°Just in the name of joint exercises.¡± Everyone was also shocked by Zhang Haiqiang¡¯s words. They didn¡¯t expect him to pay so much attention to it. But when they thought of the shock that the nameless ring had brought to them, they felt relieved. After all, in terms of the number and types of professionals, the military was the most reliable. To test the equipment, people of different levels and types were naturally needed. Furthermore, they still don¡¯t know which profession Zhao Xing¡¯s enchanted permanent equipment was suitable for. Of course, they needed to prepare more people. ¡°Old Liu, it only takes two and a half days for the military to coordinate as soon as possible.¡± Zhang Haiqiang said. ¡°No problem.¡± Liu Qingshan nodded. ¡°Old Shen, is the material supply okay?¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Shen Yun said, ¡°Anyang No. 1 High School itself has a lot of inventory, and I sent someone to transport a convoy there overnight.¡± ¡°It¡¯s enough for him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. I won¡¯t say much about the rest. Everyone, go and get ready for coordination.¡± Zhang Haiqiang closed his notebook and ended the meeting. ¡°With such a big battle, I hope Zhao Xing can surprise us this time.¡± ¡­ At Anyang No. 1 High School, in the evening, Zhao Xing and Guan Ya returned to school. At this time, he was already 88% of level 13. He was expected to reach level 15 tomorrow. Today¡¯s harvest was very good. Not only had his experience points increased rapidly, but his proficiency in several skills had also increased a lot. The thing that made Zhao Xing the happiest was undoubtedly dropping a purple piece of equipment [The Spiked Crossbow]. He didn¡¯t care how much it was worth. Getting purple was happiness! This was his first purple equipment! ¡°Hey, why are there so many trucks coming to the school?¡± Guan Ya¡¯s curious voice sounded. Zhao Xing looked up, and sure enough, he also saw a dozen trucks parked in an open space in front of him. Many people were carrying boxes of things into the laboratory building. The two looked curiously for a while, then walked into the principal¡¯s office. After a while, Yang Tianming learned what the trucks were carrying. ¡°Zhao Xing, the five series of low-level materials have been shipped to you.¡± ¡°A lot Includes materials from levels 1-30, but the materials for the power department and the power department are less, only a half-truck.¡± ¡°The rest are sufficient.¡± ¡°After you rest, you can go to the laboratory building to have a look. If you hone your proficiency, if you have any questions, there will be someone there to meet your needs and doubts at any time.¡± Both Zhao Xing and Guan Ya were stunned. Guan Ya had never heard that materials were calculated by truck. The school¡¯s support for Zhao Xing was too great! Zhao Xing did not expect that the school unexpectedly prepared so many materials to assist him in honing his skills as a junior enchanter. There were not only five series but also materials from level 1 to level 30. This, was this the country¡¯s strength? ¡°Principal, I understand.¡± ¡°I¡¯m in a good state of mind now, and I don¡¯t need to rest. Can I just go over and have a look now?¡± Zhao Xing was a little excited. Who could resist such temptation? ¡°Of course. Oh, by the way, your younger brother has also been picked up and is waiting for you to eat. Why don¡¯t we go to eat first?¡± Yang Tianming asked. ¡°Sharpening a knife is not a mistake for woodcutters.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I won¡¯t starve to death if I eat later.¡± Yang Tianming smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s fine, Mr. Guan, you can take him there.¡± A part of the laboratory building was set aside for Zhao Xing¡¯s use. At this moment, Zhao Xing was in a spacious room, holding a tablet and looking at the lists. The first thing he looked at were those relatively rare and high-level things. ¡°Void crystal shards, purple, level 40.¡± ¡°Magic dust, purple, level 40.¡± ¡°Fragment of lingering light, purple, level 40.¡± ¡°Elemental essence, purple, level 40.¡± ¡°Magic Dissolver ¡­¡± ¡°Lava Crystal ¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± A series of purple materials made Zhao Xing dizzy. Although there were not many purple materials at level 40, there were hundreds of them. All these materials were used to accumulate proficiency for himself. ¡°Student Zhao, if you want to use the items above, you just need to click this button, and we¡¯ll move it in for you.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about wasting anything. As long as it can help you, it¡¯s worth it.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A staff member from the Education Department introduced Zhao Xing. ¡°Oh, okay, okay, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Zhao Xing nodded. In fact, the people in the Education Department also knew that his proficiency was easy to pile up, and the waste rate would not be too high. So in order to show how much they value Zhao Xing, so many things were given away. Anyway, if he couldn¡¯t use it up, they could move it back! It didn¡¯t matter if it could be used up. It¡¯s totally worth the effort! ¡°Then I won¡¯t bother you.¡± The staff turned around and walked out without any nonsense. Before he came out, they were ordered to forbid inquiring and interfering, and fully cooperate! Although they didn¡¯t know what was special about the student in front of them. But they still performed their duties very well. Guan Ya waited around. She did not expect Zhao Xing to be so valued. Which enchanter could have such a high salary at the beginning? She still underestimated the determination of the higher-ups. For a moment, Guan Ya didn¡¯t know whether she should leave or stay. She was only a level 24 water magician, and she didn¡¯t have much left for enchanters. She won¡¯t need to stay here for long. Thinking of this, Guan Ya was a little happy and a little disappointed. Zhao Xing handed the tablet to Guan Ya, smilingly, ¡°Sister Ya, I¡¯m about to start, and I have to ask you to help me find something on it and help me.¡± Guan Ya showed a slight smile, ¡°Okay, no problem, just concentrate on doing it, and I will take care of these small things.¡± After a while, Guan Ya brought 3 boxes of materials from the door, opened them one by one, and placed them in front of Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing also put on the Hat of the Scholar. Both of his hands started to operate in front of these 3 boxes of materials. Chapter 15 - Rising rapidly, skill upgrades! Chapter 15: Rising rapidly, skill upgrades! [You¡¯ve successfully completed a ¡®basic material transformation¡¯ on the lava crystal, activating the source¡¯s blessing and achieving a successful transformation. This triggers a 1% increase in attributes and a 5x boost in skill proficiency.]. Zhao Xing¡¯s initial material was a fiery red lava crystal, approximately the size of a fist. The ¡®Basic Material Transformation¡¯ skill in the toolbar emitted a faint glow. After about 30 seconds, the lava crystal before his eyes underwent a subtle change. Upon seeing the notification, Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t contain his joy. Using a level 13 primary enchanter to transform a level 40 purple material should likely result in a low success rate. Failure would significantly diminish the properties of the material, possibly rendering it completely useless. However, against the odds, it succeeded. A 1% increase in attributes might seem modest, but in the realm of enchanting, it was a substantial improvement. This demonstrated that ¡®basic material transformation¡¯ fell under the enchanting category, allowing the simultaneous triggering of source blessing and multiplier effects. Even though the attributes only increased by 1%, the impact was significant. Normally, a level 13 enchanter, even with luck on their side, would only achieve a minute enhancement in the material¡¯s properties. ¡°A 1% increase is equivalent to a 20-fold effect. An average junior enchanter, even with a stroke of luck, could only boost this lava crystal by 0.05%? Enchanting truly lives up to its reputation as a money-burning profession. It¡¯s not for the faint-hearted,¡± Zhao Xing mused, experiencing firsthand the financial challenges of the enchanting profession. While early-stage enchanting might seem like a drain on resources, the skill of basic material transformation could be developed. As one progressed from primary to intermediate and top-level transformations, success rates and attribute values would undoubtedly increase. However, the initial stages proved costly. Low-level enchanting skills also had an advantage when paired with high-level materials, offering substantial skill proficiency gains. Zhao Xing tested this by transforming a piece of ordinary level 10 white material, earning a proficiency of 1. In contrast, a level 40 purple material should yield a proficiency of at least 5. Zhao Xing experimented with various series of materials, discovering distinctions even among purple equipment materials. Psychic materials provided the highest skill proficiency, followed by ability-based materials. Whether Mechanics, Martial Arts, or Magic, there was little difference. Supernatural power and mind force, the two major categories, not only were rare in occupation but also produced stronger materials, reflecting their value in enchanting. [You¡¯ve successfully completed a ¡®basic material transformation¡¯ on magic dust, activating the source¡¯s blessing and achieving a successful transformation. This triggers a 1% increase in attributes and a 5x boost in skill proficiency.].[You¡¯ve successfully completed a ¡®basic material transformation¡¯ on Light Crystal, activating the source¡¯s blessing and achieving a successful transformation. This triggers a 1% increase in attributes and a 5x boost in skill proficiency.].[You¡¯ve successfully completed a ¡®basic material transformation¡¯ on¡­]. A series of notifications echoed as Zhao Xing dedicatedly pursued his skill upgrade plan. None of these materials failed, preserving their properties and avoiding wastage. He skipped the lower-level materials and directly practiced with the highest-level purple equipment materials in the laboratory. Guan Ya, diligently assisting in the process, found herself struggling to keep up with Zhao Xing¡¯s rapid enchanting speed. The staff from the Education Department, delivering goods at the door, were perplexed. Wasn¡¯t there a level 13 enchanter inside? Why did the requirements, apart from the initial low-level white and blue materials, exclusively involve purple materials? Without attempting again, these staff members also found it somewhat absurd. Low-level enchanters utilized purple materials for practice. With such a low success rate, could it contribute to training? Wasn¡¯t this troublesome? ¡°Director, who on earth is in there causing such a drain on the country¡¯s resources?¡± ¡°In an hour, 10 boxes of purple packaging materials were brought in, and all of them were level 40.¡± A young man finally couldn¡¯t bear it and complained to the director. The director glared at him: ¡°Don¡¯t ask if you shouldn¡¯t ask. Did you forget the instructions before you came?¡± S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The young man shivered in fright: ¡°Understood, won¡¯t inquire, won¡¯t interfere, and will fully cooperate.¡± ¡°Good to know!¡± The director said in a low voice: ¡°Many people in the Education Department want to get in. That¡¯s why you¡¯re here. I¡¯ll let it slide this time. Don¡¯t mess up. Just keep quiet, talk less, and do more, go.¡± ¡­ [You have completed a ¡®basic material transformation¡¯ on the void crystal fragments, triggering the blessing of the source. The transformation is successful, the multiplier is triggered, the attribute is increased by 1%, and the skill proficiency is x5.] [Congratulations, your basic material transformation skill has been upgraded to the elementary level!] Hearing the prompt, Zhao Xing finally stopped. The elementary level was reached so quickly? Zhao Xing looked at his panel. At this point, the basic material transformation skills disappeared, replaced by elementary material transformation skills. [Elementary Material Transformation: 5/10000] [You already have a preliminary understanding of the nature and structure of enchanting materials, and you can make the materials exhibit their proper properties. You are no longer a novice in the extensive and profound science of material enchanting!] ¡°It¡¯s just out of the novice category,¡± Zhao Xing deeply agreed with this evaluation. He had the specialty of [Element Perception]. In the training process, it wasn¡¯t merely placing hands on the material and reading an article. Instead, a vast miniature world would appear in his mind! In the miniature world, the sky was filled with stars and boundless. Probing the stars with mental power was the transformation process. And any slight change would affect the properties of the material itself. Elementary material transformation skills could only influence those inconspicuous dim stars now. Indeed, they could only be said to have just left the novice category. ¡°The material modification skills have been satisfied, and the next step is material fusion.¡± ¡°Elevate the fusion of basic materials to the elementary level.¡± ¡°If you master energy structure and elementary equipment analysis, you will be able to master the skill [Permanent], making the enchanting effect permanent.¡± Glancing at the time, more than an hour had passed. Zhao Xing was full of fighting spirit and continued to devote himself to the great cause of skill training. With the blessing of the [Hat of the Scholar], his current physical and mental strength could fully keep up. Although his stomach was in habitual memory, making him feel a little hungry, his body could actually endure it. ¡°Let¡¯s start with basic material fusion.¡± [You have integrated a small amount of gold sand (purple) into cold iron (purple), completed a ¡®basic material fusion,¡¯ triggered the blessing of the source, the fusion is successful, triggers a multiplier increase, the attribute of cold iron increases by 1%, and gains skill proficiency X20.] [Your mental power -100, -50¡­] [Your physical strength -100, -50¡­] [Warning, your mental strength and physical strength are both lower than 50, and you are in a state of extreme fatigue! ¡¿ Zhao Xing felt dizzy, even with the Hat of the Scholar emitting a cool feeling. After completing the first purple material fusion, he felt very tired for several minutes. His eyes were struggling, and he felt like his body was being emptied! ¡°I was careless!¡± ¡°Material fusion is more challenging than material transformation. Although I have a talent bonus, I still succeeded, but it consumes too much mental and physical energy!¡± The inherent properties attached to different materials sometimes had serious conflicts. It was like water and fire, which couldn¡¯t mix. When Zhao Xing started to use purple materials for fusion, the process was extremely difficult. It was not that it couldn¡¯t be successful, but that it would cost a lot! Even doing the simplest gold-plating test on the main material once made Zhao Xing¡¯s mental and physical strength bottom out. Fortunately, the Hat of the Scholar was recovering well. Otherwise, he could go into a coma. And looking at the time, this fusion took a full 15 minutes! ¡°Zhao Xing, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡± Guan Ya noticed Zhao Xing¡¯s abnormality and hurried over, holding his hand. ¡°Ah, why are your hands so cold and your face so pale¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I just overused my skills and consumed too much mental and physical energy¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine, Sister Ya¡­ huh? Growling¡­¡± Guan Ya immediately opened a bottle of magic potion and quickly poured it down for Zhao Xing. Chapter 16 - Female students will only affect the speed at which I shoot fireballs! Chapter 16: Female students will only affect the speed at which I shoot fireballs! After consuming several valuable elixirs that initially seemed quite potent, Zhao Xing suddenly regained vitality. Observing his improved demeanor, Guan Ya also breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°Zhao Xing, you can¡¯t act recklessly. In that situation just now, you scared me half to death.¡± ¡°You must be extremely tired¡­ I can¡¯t fathom how you managed it.¡± As Guan Ya connected with Zhao Xing, she naturally assessed his face-to-face condition. Depleting strength wasn¡¯t a trivial matter. Once mental or physical strength crossed a certain threshold, it led to a negative state, hindering natural recovery and even diminishing the effectiveness of certain enhancing potions, essentially placing one in a ¡®severely injured¡¯ state. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll do my best,¡± nodded Zhao Xing, determined to persevere. ¡°No, you have to promise me!¡± Guan Ya insisted, gripping his hand with concern. Zhao Xing raised his fingers and quipped, ¡°Okay, I swear on the lamp that I¡¯ll be cautious not to harm myself. If I break it, my brother won¡¯t find a girlfriend.¡± ¡°,¡± Guan Ya chuckled, amused. ¡°You swear on your brother?¡± ¡°Think of it, it¡¯s been two hours now, and your brother is still waiting for you. Why don¡¯t you take a break first and grab a meal?¡± She asked. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Xing agreed, ¡°Sure, I happen to be a bit hungry.¡± With physical and mental strength not yet fully recovered, there was no need to rush. Meals could be replenished, albeit not as swiftly as through equipment blessings. Nonetheless, it was a habit and source of enjoyment. Seeing Zhao Xing and Guan Ya leave, the director outside the door greeted them promptly. ¡°Teacher Guan, student Zhao, heading out?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± they responded. The middle-aged man adjusted his glasses. ¡°Shall we send our team in to clear the discarded materials and make space?¡± Zhao Xing shook his head, remarking, ¡°Clear it up, but don¡¯t discard those materials. There¡¯s nothing useless inside.¡± The director was puzzled, ¡°No scrap at all? Are you joking?¡± ¡°Those materials may not be suitable for low-level enchanters, but they can be reserved for intermediate and advanced enchanters. Don¡¯t discard them without checking.¡± Though filled with question marks, the director complied due to prior orders, concealing his emotions. ¡°Alright, I understand, Mr. Zhao. We¡¯ll check,¡± he assured. ¡°Thanks.¡± After Zhao Xing and Guan Ya departed, the director promptly instructed relevant personnel to inspect the materials. The indoor space appeared chaotic, but every material emitted a glow, indicating potential usefulness. The director, glancing at the scene, couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. ¡°This¡­ Is this for real? Not a single piece of scrap?¡± ¡°Did he not use these purple materials at all? Just had them moved for inspection?¡± Enchanters and disassemblers, initially puzzled, approached and checked. Their doubt transformed into shock. ¡°All used!¡± ¡°Revamped, remodeled¡ªeverything!¡± ¡°Oh, my God!¡± In a short time, several enchanters exclaimed. Understanding the situation, the director urged them to collect and store the items discreetly. ¡°Pick it up, preserve it carefully! Remember, you¡¯ve all signed confidentiality agreements. You know nothing once you leave this door. Understood?¡± ¡°Yes, Director.¡± ¡°We understand.¡± Despite their astonishment, the staff adhered to the regulations, categorizing and moving the utilized items for storage. ¡­ At Anyang No. 1 High School¡¯s restaurant: ¡°Brother, is this your girlfriend? Do you have a girlfriend? Hello, sister-in-law!¡± Zhao Ming¡¯s opening remark caused Guan Ya, who came for a meal, to blush slightly. ¡°Zhao Ming, what nonsense are you talking about?! This is my teacher, Teacher Guan Ya.¡± Zhao Xing reprimanded, giving Zhao Ming a light slap on the head. ¡°Ouch.¡± Zhao Ming rubbed his head. ¡°Well, how was I supposed to know? Mr. Guan is so young and beautiful. I couldn¡¯t guess her age at all. I thought she was your classmate.¡± Guan Ya found his comment amusing. This kid was more adept at bringing joy than his brother. ¡°You¡¯re Zhao Ming, right? I heard your brother mention that you¡¯re a big kid,¡± Guan Ya teased. ¡°No girlfriend in school, I presume?¡± Zhao Ming proudly declared, ¡°Plenty of girls are chasing me in school, but I aim to become a Law God¡¯s man! Female classmates only affect my fireball-shooting speed, so I don¡¯t consider them!¡± Guan Ya burst into laughter, while Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t help but find his brother boasting a bit much. During the cooking time, Zhao Ming began to vent. ¡°Miss Guan, you don¡¯t know. My brother often bullies me. If he¡¯s free, he makes me cook with fireballs. If it burns, he blames me.¡± ¡°Cooking is one thing, but when the hot water is gone, he makes me boil water! I¡¯m a dignified fire master, yet I¡¯m stuck doing this. Is there still justice in the world? Is there still the king¡¯s law?¡± However, as he spoke, Zhao Ming sensed a change in Guan Ya¡¯s expression, prompting a quick adjustment. ¡°Teacher Guan, you don¡¯t know how great my brother is to me! He consistently improves my skills for my future, even during meals and baths. He¡¯s truly the best brother in the world!¡± Guan Ya couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. This kid had a knack for humor. Zhao Xing, with a cold snort, sat down with a bowl of rice. ¡°You¡¯re quite clever!¡± After dinner, Zhao Xing and his brother exchanged words. ¡°Zhao Ming, starting today, you¡¯ll have dinner here every day after school. A teacher will pick you up, but don¡¯t cause trouble for me, and express your gratitude to those who pick you up.¡± ¡°Also, don¡¯t get involved in romantic matters at school. You¡¯re not even 13. Don¡¯t entertain such thoughts!¡± Seeing Zhao Ming nod obediently, Zhao Xing released his brother¡¯s neck and patted his head. ¡°Very well, you can go back now. The car is outside.¡± ¡°Brother, aren¡¯t you going back?¡± Zhao Ming asked. ¡°Did you make a mistake and have to stay in school for work?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous!¡± Zhao Xing retorted. ¡°That¡¯s not the case.¡± In a low voice, Zhao Ming confessed, ¡°But I sneak a peek at you outside your lab window. You seem to be in bad condition and working hard.¡± ¡°Brother, let¡¯s not skimp on this meal. Can we eat at home? Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are delicious.¡± Zhao Xing smiled and patted Zhao Ming¡¯s head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s nothing like that. There was an incident in the lab. Your brother is being well-treated now and will be transferred to Transcendence Academy in the future.¡± ¡°Think about it. When have I ever lied to you?¡± Zhao Ming tilted his head, pointing his fingers. ¡°Yes, apart from saying that scrambled eggs with tomatoes are delicious, you come back early, and you turn white when you sleep¡­¡± ¡°¡­,¡± Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t help but be speechless. Why did this guy remember so much? Was it just for the sake of remembering that his brother lied to him? ¡°Stop counting, get out of here, and go back to sleep!¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Watching his younger brother get into the car, Zhao Xing returned to the laboratory and donned the Hat of the Scholar again. ¡°The upgrade of simple material fusion. It seems better to use something close to my level. Purple materials are still too challenging. Let¡¯s try white and blue materials first!¡± ¡°Fusion, commence!¡± Chapter 17 - Elementary fusion, the last two steps! Chapter 17: Elementary fusion, the last two steps! [You have integrated the power dust (Blue) into the powerful essence (Blue) and completed a [Simple material fusion], triggering the blessing of the source. The fusion is successful, triggering a multiplier increase, and the power attribute of the powerful essence is increased by 1%. You received skill proficiency X5.]. Zhao Xing checked the time, noting that 50 seconds had elapsed since the recent fusion. This time around, he opted for level 20 blue materials for the fusion, and compared to the previous fusion with level 40 purple materials, it seemed significantly faster. Additionally, only 30 points of mental and physical strength were consumed, a non-issue thanks to the Hat of the Scholar, which not only mitigated the consumption but also improved efficiency. The fusion with ordinary quality white materials took double the time, providing minimal skill proficiency¡ªonly 1 point each time. Considering fusion skills required 1000 points for an upgrade, blue equipment materials, especially at level 20, proved more suitable. After several tests, Zhao Xing concluded that level 20 was the optimal choice. Post-testing, Zhao Xing instructed Guan Ya to have the staff bring in only level 20 blue advanced materials, with a focus on two magic materials, Gold Dust and Powerful Essence, due to the unique property of [High Concentration]. Engrossed in studying, Zhao Xing entered a state of heightened focus, thanks to the Hat of the Scholar¡¯s Salzman¡¯s Blessing, doubling the recovery effect while learning. Delighted by this discovery, Zhao Xing mused about the hat¡¯s origins, supposedly dropped by a mad researcher who was once one of Salzman¡¯s students. He contemplated the potential encounter with Salzman in a future dungeon and found comfort in being a student, immune to exhaustion. After a brief rest, Zhao Xing resumed his material fusion training, finding it far from boring. Dividing his mental power to observe two miniature universes simultaneously held a unique beauty for him. Successfully blending them brought a sense of accomplishment. Unlike other enchanters who might experience a decline in mental power after failure, Zhao Xing felt guided in the dark during the fusion process. Improving the powerful essence to a higher level through precise fusion, Zhao Xing considered the potential benefits of making powerful magic potions. While his fusion only increased the materials by 1%, it could enhance the potion¡¯s effect by 10% if used by a skilled magic pharmacist. However, this was a thought for another time, as his skills had just been upgraded. [You have integrated the gold dust (blue) into the powerful essence (blue) and completed a [Simple material fusion], triggering the blessing of the source. The fusion is successful, triggering a multiplier increase, and the power attribute of the powerful essence is increased by 1.2%. You received skill proficiency X5.].[Congratulations, Simple Material Fusion has been upgraded to the elementary level! ¡¿ The recent fusion boosted the qualities of this magical substance by 0.2% compared to previous materials, reaching 1.2%. This also confirmed that Zhao Xing¡¯s skill proficiency had finally hit the basic level. On the skill list, there now appeared Elementary Material Fusion. Similarly, the proficiency required for the next upgrade had risen to 10,000. ¡°Huh~.¡± Zhao Xing exhaled deeply. This meant he was just two steps away from mastering the [Permanent] skill. Unlocking [Elementary Energy Structural Science] and [Elementary Equipment Analysis] in the career branch would make it even easier. Skill knowledge was readily available, and the school had already prepared it. All he needed were enough attribute points to learn it. In other words, upgrading to level 15 tomorrow and consuming potions to boost his mental attributes permanently would enable him to master these two professional skills. ¡°Upgraded?¡± Guan Ya hurried over as she saw Zhao Xing getting up. She had been staying there to help him and observed him for any abnormalities. ¡°Well, the two skills have reached the elementary level,¡± Zhao Xing said. ¡°Now, only attribute points are left, and reaching level 15 tomorrow should be enough.¡± ¡°I have to trouble Sister Ya to take me to the dungeon tomorrow.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not hard. This is what I should do,¡± Guan Ya replied with satisfaction. The two left the laboratory, and the sky outside was already full of stars. The staff from the Education Department was still on duty diligently. ¡°Student Zhao, Miss Guan, do you want me to ask someone to deliver some supper?¡± Director Fang greeted them with a smile. ¡°Director Fang, no need to trouble yourself,¡± Zhao Xing replied. ¡°Today¡¯s task has been completed, thanks to your hard work.¡± sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°No hard work at all,¡± Director Fang said politely. ¡°Is there anything else you need?¡± ¡°No more. You and the teachers should go back to rest, and the materials in the laboratory can be put away. Don¡¯t throw them away; they¡¯re not damaged. Also, prepare a batch of equipment to be sent over tomorrow.¡± After mastering the permanent skills, Zhao Xing planned to enchant the equipment permanently the next day. Director Fang, knowing some inside information, eagerly agreed to prepare and send equipment for all professions and levels. Zhao Xing left the school under escort and returned home. It was a dreamless night, and early the following day, the working group members were waiting downstairs on time. Guan Ya, along with the driver and a few main combat occupations, was already waiting in the car. After half an hour, they arrived at the dungeon base, entering through a special passage with fewer people. ¡°The remuneration is increasing. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem to get a recommendation, right?¡± Zhao Xing thought about the upcoming special recruitment for Transcendence Academy. He wondered which institution might recommend him, especially hoping for those in the capital. ¡°The permanent equipment should be ready today. There should be a letter about the recommendation from Transcendence Academy soon.¡± Chapter 18 - Bosses arrived one after another, mastering permanent skill! Chapter 18: Bosses arrived one after another, mastering permanent skill! Zhao Xing wasn¡¯t aware of his true value, but Yang Tianming had a clear understanding. It was the day for the permanent equipment release, and the Education Department anticipated the presence of numerous influential figures. Yang Tianming found himself swamped with tasks. The phone had been incessantly ringing since morning. Just as he sat down, it rang again. ¡°Hey, 0??ou on track to arrive in half an hour?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve coordinated the teaching staff for full cooperation.¡± ¡°The working group assured me they¡¯d handle equipment transportation and arrive by afternoon.¡± ¡°Zhao Xing is still immersed in dungeon leveling. By my estimate, he should hit level 15 this afternoon.¡± ¡°And the military? Alright, I¡¯ll make the arrangements immediately!¡± Upon hanging up, Yang Tianming appeared a bit tense. The sudden involvement of the military intrigued him. The significance of the situation seemed to have escalated, necessitating military cooperation. ¡°Principal, a lot of vehicles, possibly military, are approaching!¡± The secretary rushed in, breathless. ¡°What? They arrived so quickly?¡± Yang Tianming hastily straightened himself, saying, ¡°Quickly, accompany me outside. Clear the laboratory building space. Is everything prepared?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve made all necessary preparations.¡± ¡°What about the working group¡¯s meeting area?¡± ¡°It¡¯s ready.¡± ¡°Double the number of conference halls and make a few more preparations.¡± ¡°Understood! I¡¯ll take care of it right away!¡± Yang Tianming hurried downstairs to welcome the arriving group. Over a dozen military vehicles entered the campus, and soldiers, although not in uniform, radiated a uniform sheen. They were all adorned in purple, each boasting a main combat occupation level above 30. Such a lineup naturally attracted attention in the high school setting. ¡°Wow, the purple gear looks so cool!¡± ¡°Why are there so many troops here?¡± ¡°Which unit is this? Why are there so many high-level bosses?¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°I wish I could join the army!¡± ¡°Forget it, you¡¯re only level 9. You won¡¯t even pass the first test!¡± ¡°Wait, why are they here? Is there a new dungeon near our school?¡± ¡°It¡¯s quite likely!¡± The students began buzzing with speculation. However, teachers soon emerged to restore order. ¡°Students, return to your classrooms or dormitories. The school is initiating an emergency drill.¡± ¡°Clear the main road, don¡¯t block incoming vehicles!¡± ¡°Stay away from the laboratory building. Maintain silence!¡± ¡°Go back! What are you gawking at? Penalty station awaits!¡± Teachers used various approaches to disperse the students. Most complied and went back to their classrooms or dorms, though some watched from a distance. ¡°What a spectacle! It must be special forces with those purple uniforms!¡± ¡°Look at the officers exiting that car¡ªthe red light from the leader¡¯s gear. Is it king-grade equipment?¡± ¡°Based on his military rank, he seems to be just a captain?¡± ¡°You¡¯re mistaken. That¡¯s a Colonel!¡± ¡°How many levels could they be? Is a superhero visiting our school?¡± ¡°More red king-grade gear, incredible strength!¡± ¡°Something major is brewing. Could a high-level dungeon have appeared near the school?¡± ¡°The school is going all out, inviting such a formidable army for exercises!¡± The students weren¡¯t oblivious. Even if they couldn¡¯t discern the officers¡¯ ranks, the equipment¡¯s style and radiance hinted at high-level bosses. The soldiers exuded an aura unmatched by ordinary troops, clearly elite forces. This wasn¡¯t an ordinary exercise¡ªsomething significant was unfolding! Numerous speculations circulated among people, wondering if high-level dungeons were about to spawn near Anyang City¡¯s No. 1 High School. Such events weren¡¯t unprecedented, but only Yang Tianming knew the real reason¡ªit had nothing to do with dungeons; it was all about Zhao Xing. ¡°Hello, Principal Yang. I¡¯m Colonel Wang Long. Where is the laboratory building of your school?¡± A formidable officer, Colonel Wang Long, with sharp features and a large sword, confronted Yang Tianming. ¡°Here¡­ I¡¯ll take you there,¡± Yang Tianming replied. ¡°Thank you for your cooperation. Our team will secure the laboratory building and its surroundings,¡± Wang Long stated. ¡°I prefer to avoid unnecessary contact with unrelated individuals. Please ensure the school¡¯s cooperation.¡± ¡°No problem at all. I¡¯ll handle it,¡± Yang Tianming responded politely as Wang Long led the team toward the laboratory building, blocking the surrounding area. ¡­ In the afternoon, in the dungeon base, at the Wild Wolf Camp, a subtle glow enveloped Zhao Xing¡¯s body as a warm current flowed within. After defeating nearby wolves, he finally reached level 15. ¡°Sister Ya, I¡¯ve leveled up!¡± ¡°You can go back!¡± With a level 15 attribute, Zhao Xing¡¯s basic mental power had reached 300 points. Including the Hat of the Scholar¡¯s bonus, the mental strength exceeded 400 points. However, the occupational branch [Elementary Energy Structure] required 320 basic attribute points, excluding equipment bonuses. Zhao Xing had 10 free attribute points, making it an easy fix. ¡°Are you level 15? Great! Do you have enough attribute points?¡± Guan Ya smiled and asked. ¡°I¡¯m still 10 points away. Upgrading the auxiliary profession requires too few attribute points. Unlike main combat professions, the Psychic system can break through 300 mental powers at level 10.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t complain. That¡¯s how it is,¡± Guan Ya comforted. ¡­ Returning to school, Zhao Xing sensed a different atmosphere. Zhang Haiqiang, Shen Yun, Liu Qingshan, Lin Feng, and other Education Department figures waited in the conference hall, eager for Zhao Xing¡¯s return. ¡°Minister, should we meet Zhao Xing now or wait?¡± Lin Feng asked. ¡°Hurrying up and letting him learn permanent skills is the priority. Try not to disturb him,¡± Zhang Haiqiang suggested. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s go see him after his equipment is finished,¡± Yang Tianming decided, leaving the conference hall. ¡­ In the familiar study room, with only Guan Ya and a stack of professional knowledge books, Zhao Xing, after consuming three bottles of spiritual magic potions, reached 320 basic mental power. Unlocking the [Elementary Energy Structure] and [Elementary Equipment Analysis] career branches, he unlocked the main professional skill¡ª[Permanent]. [Permanent]: When enchanting a material successfully, you can choose to fix the enchanting effect permanently. This skill is a prerequisite for the second enchantment.[Permanent (Elementary): 0/10000 (Increasing proficiency enhances the success rate of attribute enchanting, material enchanting, etc.)]. Chapter 19 - The first piece of permanent equipment is released! Chapter 19: The first piece of permanent equipment is released! Upon unlocking the knowledge of two career branches, Zhao Xing earned 4 additional free attribute points. It seemed meager, merely two points per course, not as substantial as the 10 points for mastering the main professional knowledge all at once. Yet, given the myriad types of branch occupation knowledge, the gradual accumulation of free attribute points proved significant. It implied that the more knowledge one possessed, the stronger one became. Zhao Xing opted to save these 4 points of free attributes, foreseeing potential future needs. After all, at this stage, opportunities for permanently enhancing basic attributes were limited. Magic potions, while available, had diminishing effects with repeated use, offering only marginal increases. ¡°Having mastered the permanent skill, everything is ready now!¡± Zhao Xing sighed in relief, rising from his chair. ¡°Teacher Guan, we can head to the laboratory building now.¡± ¡°Alright?¡± Guan Ya shared Zhao Xing¡¯s joy. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go now.¡± In the office building, the Education Department buzzed with discussion upon hearing the news. The atmosphere turned lively, with a hint of nervous excitement. Colonel Wang Long, sitting next to Zhang Haiqiang, couldn¡¯t comprehend the enthusiasm. ¡°I say, old Zhang, do you really need to be this excited?¡± Wang Long questioned. ¡°I don¡¯t doubt your judgment, but engaging in such a big fuss seems excessive.¡± Enchanter Lin Feng shook his head, explaining, ¡°Colonel, you¡¯re a newcomer to this, and it¡¯s understandable that you don¡¯t grasp the significance. Let me clarify. If this kid performs as he did last time, even with diminishing effects, his 100% success talent will still have an impact dozens of times greater than someone like me!¡± Wang Long¡¯s expression shifted at the revelation. Dozens of times bigger? He recognized Lin Feng, the top enchanter in Nanhu Province, and respected his capabilities. The realization sunk in. ¡°Alright, Mr. Lin, if you say so, then he must indeed be worth the hype,¡± Wang Long conceded. ¡°Look, he¡¯s already entered the laboratory building.¡± Surveillance footage displayed Zhao Xing and Guan Ya passing the sentry post and entering the laboratory building. The atmosphere in the conference room heightened. In the laboratory, Director Fang greeted Zhao Xing with greater politeness than before. The equipment selection now included options from levels 1-40, ranging in quality from blue to red. The presence of red equipment was limited, but the overall offerings were extensive. ¡°Student Zhao, we¡¯ve prepared equipment for five major occupations, covering various types from levels 1-40,¡± Director Fang explained. ¡°It includes blue, purple, and red qualities. The red equipment is in single digits, but there are over 100 pieces of other quality equipment.¡± ¡°Uh, do you have so much top-tier equipment?¡± Zhao Xing asked. Director Fang reassured him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The higher-ups have made it clear that everything is free of charge and free of responsibility, even if you experiment freely. No pressure.¡± Zhao Xing, not fearing failure but feeling a bit surprised by the extensive list, acknowledged the generosity. The variety of options included some unfamiliar ones. However, as there were no occupational restrictions on weapons, he could explore across different branches of the main combat profession. Director Fang inquired if there was anything else needed, to which Zhao Xing replied, ¡°No, no, I¡¯ll reach out if necessary.¡± The pressure of Director Fang¡¯s respectful attitude lingered, but Zhao Xing focused on quickly entering the work zone, suppressing thoughts about the notable figures paying attention. Guan Ya observed Zhao Xing¡¯s nervousness but chose not to comment. She quietly stood by, offering support. As boxes of equipment and materials were brought into the laboratory, a hush settled, and Zhao Xing contemplated the array of possibilities in front of him. As a junior enchanter, he didn¡¯t need to delve into overly complicated matters just yet. The specific occupation to which these pieces of equipment belonged didn¡¯t concern Zhao Xing much. Currently, he lacks the knowledge to enchant skills, focusing solely on refining his 2% chance talent. ¡°The stage is set, and regardless of the equipment type, I need to enchant something with a special effect. Let¡¯s start with you,¡± Zhao Xing said, picking up a dagger labeled [Jagged Blade]. [Jagged Blade].[Level: 30].[Quality: Purple].[200 attack power, speed +5, strength +40.]. This purple dagger, commonly used by thieves and hunters, had average attributes. Zhao Xing decided to practice with it first. To cast the skill ¡®Permanent,¡¯ he needed first to use the skill ¡®Primary Material Enchantment.¡¯ This process was no longer a simple raising of hands but required finding specific materials for enchanting. Digging through a pile of materials, Zhao Xing retrieved three purple materials: [Golden Sand] for attack power, [Essence of Wind] for acceleration, and [Power Dust] for increased strength. These materials were chosen based on extensive data from the enchanting world, ensuring a successful enchantment. The expected increases after successful enchantment were: 10-40 points of attack power 1-3 points of speed S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. 10-30 points of strength Fluctuations occurred due to the different skill proficiencies among enchanters. Junior enchanters typically achieved the minimum values, while senior enchanters could reach the maximum. [You are enchanting the jagged blade with primary materials, consuming 1 part of gold sand, essence of wind, and dust of power. Progress 30%].[You are enchanting the jagged blade with primary materials, consuming 1 part of gold sand, essence of wind, and dust of power. Progress 60%].[You are enchanting the jagged blade with primary materials, consuming 1 part of gold sand, essence of wind, and dust of power. Progress 90%]. The [Material Enchantment] in the skill bar glowed slightly. Zhao Xing¡¯s hand emitted a gleam, and the three materials dissolved into three types of light¡ªgreen, gold, and white¡ªblending into the equipment. The irreversible process involved primary energy structure and primary equipment analysis. [You are enchanting the jagged blade with primary materials, consuming 1 part of gold sand, essence of wind, and dust of power. 100% progress.].[You have enchanted the Jagged Blade once!].[Do you want to apply the [Permanent] effect to this equipment?]. Without hesitation, Zhao Xing activated the permanent effect. The purple luster stabilized and deepened. [Jagged Blade].[Level: 30].[Quality: Purple].[400 attack power, speed +25, strength +240.].[Status: Enchanted once]. ¡°Without triggering the blessing of the source, there¡¯s a 2% chance of obtaining additional effects,¡± Zhao Xing noted. ¡°Based on the average characteristics of materials used by junior enchanters, the bonuses should be 10:1:10. However, after enchanting, the bonus became 200:20:200¡ªa 20-fold increase! A 100% success rate!¡± Despite his amazement, Zhao Xing felt his talent was exceptionally strong. The attributes of the level 30 purple equipment now surpassed those of level 40 and almost matched level 50 purple equipment, challenging the existing enchanting world¡¯s theoretical system. However, the absence of a 2% chance to trigger the blessing of the source left Zhao Xing dissatisfied. He handed the jagged blade to the staff outside the door, not entirely pleased with the enchanted equipment. ¡°Director Fang, I¡¯m not entirely satisfied with the enchanted equipment, but take a look for yourself.¡± He tossed the blade casually, and with the mental power consumption not too high, Zhao Xing continued his search for the next item. Five minutes later, the enchanted dagger found its place in the conference hall of another building. Chapter 20 - Crazy! Is he not satisfied with these attributes? Chapter 20: Crazy! Is he not satisfied with these attributes? The moment Zhao Xing opened the laboratory door and handed the first enchanted equipment to Director Fang, the experts in the conference hall couldn¡¯t contain their excitement. As the first piece of permanent equipment, the Jagged Blade was placed on the booth for viewing, everyone eagerly awaited Zhang Haiqiang¡¯s announcement of its attributes. A wave of exclamations swept through the room. ¡°Unbelievable! Unbelievable! I never imagined that gold sand, power dust, and wind essence could add so many attributes! He broke the existing theoretical system of enchantment! A level 30 purple equipment is almost comparable to a level 50 purple equipment. What level is this? Quickly pass it on. Let me take a look! Don¡¯t grab it. What¡¯s the hurry? ¡± The meeting room buzzed with lively discussions. Manners were momentarily forgotten as experts and powerhouses rushed to inspect the enchantment results. Even Wang Long, the army leader, couldn¡¯t resist the curiosity and approached. Upon seeing the attributes, Wang Long expressed surprise. As someone well-versed in equipment and logistics, his theoretical knowledge suggested that, for equipment of the same level, only different qualities would result in significant attribute differences. However, the enchanted Jagged Blade shattered his preconceptions. ¡°A level 30 purple equipment comparable to a level 50 attribute, and its requirements reduced to level 30. If this can be mass-produced, equipping the entire 30th-level main battle corps would significantly boost our combat power!¡± Realizing the potential impact of enchanted equipment, Wang Long grasped Zhang Haiqiang¡¯s hand, expressing urgency to equip the army. However, Zhang Haiqiang shook his head, explaining that it was impossible due to the national strategic considerations. Wang Long, disappointed at the prospect of missing out on enhancing his combat power, insisted, ¡°Zhao Xing is a genius from our Nanhu Province. Isn¡¯t that enough?¡± Zhang Haiqiang, however, reminded him that the decision wasn¡¯t within his control. Wang Long, understanding the complexities involved, fell silent. The desire for improved equipment and enhanced combat capabilities had been a timeless sentiment among military leaders. In the past, it was horses and guns. Now, it was these enchanting wonders. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Don¡¯t be disappointed. Ordinary soldiers won¡¯t be able to equip them, but the Dragon Army, being a special force with particularly high proficiency, still stands a chance,¡± Zhang Haiqiang assured. ¡°Cooperate well in the next test, and we¡¯ll report together. The higher authorities won¡¯t forget us. The Dragon Army might still have a chance in the future, perhaps not in the first batch, but the second batch is still possible.¡± Wang Long, reinvigorated with hope, eagerly agreed, ¡°Yes, yes, it makes sense! I¡¯ll cooperate, I will definitely cooperate well. I¡¯ll do whatever you say!¡± Despite his enthusiasm, Wang Long knew that achieving this in a short time was unlikely. Zhao Xing¡¯s exceptional talent had to be handed over to the country, and Nanhu Province couldn¡¯t retain him. The decision between the Extraordinary Academy and a specific department rested on Zhao Xing¡¯s opinion. Considering his youth, it seemed more reasonable for him to attend the academy. As the discussion continued, Zhang Haiqiang knocked on the table to regain order, urging everyone to calm down and remember that the permanent equipment wouldn¡¯t disappear. He then brought attention to a peculiar observation ¨C Zhao Xing¡¯s strange expression and a brief exchange with Director Fang upon leaving the laboratory. ¡°Is there something wrong with Zhao Xing?¡± Someone inquired. Fang Hong, the director, assured everyone, ¡°No, my detection level is high, and he is wearing a Hat of the Scholar. All of his attributes are healthy, and there is no negative state.¡± He explained the meticulous preparations made for Zhao Xing¡¯s safety, including the use of one-way mirrors for observation without compromising the enchanting process. Zhang Haiqiang expressed gratitude for the well-executed preparations, praising Fang Hong and Principal Yang Tianming. When asked about Zhao Xing¡¯s words after leaving the laboratory, Fang Hong explained, ¡°He said that the first piece of permanent equipment has come out, but he is not very satisfied. So, he let me hand it over to the leaders first. He didn¡¯t say anything else.¡± Wang Long, surprised at Zhao Xing¡¯s dissatisfaction with the remarkable attributes, questioned, ¡°With these attributes, he is still not satisfied? What kind of monster did you discover, Old Zhang?¡± Zhang Haiqiang clarified, ¡°You don¡¯t know something. The equipment Zhao Xing enchanted before had special effects, but there was a certain chance for them to appear. He is dissatisfied because there are no special effects. High attributes are only his second-best point; the special effect of enchantment is where he truly excels.¡± Wang Long, still puzzled, inquired about the magical nature of the mentioned special effects. Zhang Haiqiang hinted that it would become clear later and advised patience. Wang Long, willing to wait, humorously requested not to compete for the special effects equipment when it arrived. Zhang Haiqiang assured him, ¡°Then you have to ask Mr. Lin and the others. I won¡¯t rob you. Hahahaha.¡± Chapter 21 - Finally Shipped! Ashes of the soul! Chapter 21: Finally Shipped! Ashes of the soul! In the laboratory, Zhao Xing was deeply engrossed in his enchanting work. Donning the Hat of the Scholar, he now boasted a significant 420 points of spiritual power, along with an impressive physical strength of 200. Enchanting a level 30 purple equipment appeared to require 80 points of spiritual power and 40 points of physical strength, taking anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. While material enchanting remained a costly endeavor, the extended duration and the Hat of the Scholar¡¯s per-minute recovery effect, adding 10 points to both mental and physical strength, made it more manageable. To the on-duty staff outside, Zhao Xing¡¯s physical and mental attributes displayed minor fluctuations, yet overall, they remained stable and secure. As time passed, Zhao Xing found himself immersed in enchanting numerous pieces of purple equipment. However, a persistent frustration lingered ¨C the 2% chance of triggering an additional effect had yet to come to fruition. Expressing his disappointment, Zhao Xing muttered, ¡°I enchanted over thirty pieces of equipment just now. I tried different professions, but not a single trigger. Could my innate blessing talent have diminished during the purple equipment enchantment? It shouldn¡¯t be. Everything else seems fine.¡± After contemplating for a while, he realized that this wasn¡¯t a diminishing effect but rather sheer bad luck. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The 2% probability is a bit low. There are only thirty or so pieces of equipment,¡± Zhao Xing encouraged himself before diving back into the enchantment process. His skill proficiency steadily increased, with elementary material enchanting skills surpassing 100 points and progressing toward the 10,000-point mark. The successful enchantment of purple equipment yielded substantial proficiency gains, ranging from at least 2 to 5 points per piece. Zhao Xing, unlike ordinary enchanters, had the luxury of practicing his skills at an accelerated pace. Triggering a series of skills during the enchanting process, not only did the main skill [Elementary Material Enchanting] proficiency increase, but also other related skills such as [Elementary Material Fusion], [Elementary Energy Structure], and [Elementary Equipment Analysis]. As night fell, Guan Ya quietly illuminated the laboratory. Zhao Xing, deeply focused on his work, unintentionally captivated her. Observing him with a mix of admiration and intrigue, Guan Ya felt an unfamiliar excitement. Although she had always appreciated Zhao Xing¡¯s handsome appearance, the prolonged time spent together stirred unexpected feelings. Caught in her inner conflict, Guan Ya grappled with conflicting thoughts. Two voices battled in her mind, questioning the appropriateness of her feelings. Nevertheless, the more forbidden the thoughts, the more uncontrollable the fantasy became. Suddenly, Zhao Xing glanced at Guan Ya with a hint of confusion. Lowering her head and biting her lips, Guan Ya displayed a range of expressions ¨C from a blurred countenance to distress and, at times, a subtle smile. Zhao Xing, perplexed by her behavior, couldn¡¯t fathom the rich array of emotions on her face. As the two voices in Guan Ya¡¯s mind continued their debate, Zhao Xing interrupted, calling out, ¡°Sister Ya, Sister Ya?¡± Startled, she raised her head to find a handsome face very close to her own. ¡°Ah, Zhao, Zhao Xing, are you going to move things again? I¡¯ll go right away.¡± Guan Ya turned her head away in a panic and got up. ¡°Hey, no need. I just happened to take a rest, too, don¡¯t worry.¡± S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Xing asked suspiciously, ¡°But Sister Ya, are you feeling uncomfortable?¡± Guan Ya quickly shook her head and said, ¡°No, no.¡± ¡°Hey, are you hungry? Do you want to take a rest and have something to eat?¡± Guan Ya quickly adjusted her mood and paid attention to why Zhao Xing suddenly stopped enchanting. ¡°I¡¯m not hungry, and physical strength is fine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that the face is too dark.¡± Zhao Xing felt a little helpless and said, ¡°It¡¯s been several hours, and there are more than 60 pieces of equipment. I still haven¡¯t made a piece of equipment with special effects.¡± Guan Ya comforted, ¡°Don¡¯t put pressure on yourself. You will always succeed, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s good to take a break. You¡¯ve been working for hours, and it¡¯s getting dark now.¡± He opened the door and looked at the sky outside. As expected, it was completely dark. Zhao Xing looked at Fang Hong, who was waiting outside the door and couldn¡¯t help but think of his younger brother Zhao Ming. ¡°Director Fang, is my brother here?¡± ¡°Oh, Zhao Ming is already here. Half an hour ago, he was still watching your situation outside the window. Then someone took him to dinner.¡± Zhao Xing turned his head and looked at the glass. ¡°Huh, when did you change it? This is the one-way viewing glass.¡± Fang Hong smiled and said, ¡°I changed it last night. It has a sound insulation effect. Did it disturb you?¡± ¡°No, no, I didn¡¯t hear anything.¡± Zhao Xing did not hear anything. Entering the [Highly Concentration] learning state, he didn¡¯t know when Guan Ya turned on the lights. ¡°Then, what are you thinking now?¡± Fang Hong asked tentatively. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I was a little bored, and I want to go out for a walk.¡± Zhao Xing glanced at Guan Ya, ¡°By the way, I¡¯m going to get something to eat. Is the cafeteria still open now?¡± Fang Hong immediately said, ¡°There is a window on standby 24 hours a day. You can rest assured.¡± ¡°Do you need us to bring the food?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s better to walk around.¡± Zhao Xing briefly explained his thoughts to Fang Hong. So he went to the cafeteria with Guan Ya and secretly opened a small stove. This was not physical strength or physiological needs but a matter of habit. After eating, he breathed the fresh air outside. The sky was full of stars. The depression caused by the dark face just now also dissipated. ¡°Are you better now?¡± Guan Ya asked with a smile. She seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. ¡°Well, it¡¯s much better.¡± Zhao Xing was full of fighting spirit, ¡°Sister Ya, let¡¯s go back!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± ¡­ After returning to the laboratory again, Zhao Xing decided to change his mind. He no longer limited himself to purple equipment but wanted to challenge king-grade equipment! This was not a decision made on a whim. It was the precious experience summed up in the Theory Encyclopedia of Enchanters. High-quality equipment could inspire better effects when enchanting, and it was easier to carry the superposition of different attributes. Of course, this belonged to the category of advanced enchanting. It didn¡¯t matter to junior enchanters. However, it won¡¯t hurt to try. In order to prevent the loss of strength from happening like last time. Zhao Xing specially prepared a bunch of powerful recovery magic potions. He added his attribute points to his spiritual power. He also especially found a few pieces of purple equipment to increase his physical and mental strength and put them on. His attribute was much stronger than last time, so it shouldn¡¯t cause any loss of strength. Everything was ready. Zhao Xing didn¡¯t look at it carefully and casually picked up king-grade equipment from the box. The material enchantment started after half an hour. Zhao Xing suddenly felt his heart relax. It seemed that there were shooting stars flashing past in the miniature world. The mental power keenly captured this scene. Then he heard the prompt! [You have performed material enchantment on ¡®Ash of Soul¡¯, this enchantment triggers the blessing of origin, the success rate of the enchantment is 100%, and additional effects are triggered!]. Zhao Xing¡¯s eyes lit up immediately! After waiting for several hours, it finally shipped! And it was on king-level equipment! He couldn¡¯t wait to check the properties. Chapter 22 - Soul Slaying, Shockingly Powerful Effect! Chapter 22: Soul Slaying, Shockingly Powerful Effect!Until then, Zhao Xing remained oblivious to it. What he had recently enchanted was, in fact, level 40 king-tier gear! ¡°My mental and physical strength plummeted by 200 in an instant, continuing to drop by dozens of points. Thankfully, I made ample preparations.¡± ¡°Luckily, I donned a few more purple items. The higher-ups provided me with purple gear tailored for auxiliary professions to avoid a repeat of last time. While lacking a set effect, they enhance specific attributes ¨C mental and physical strength.¡± Zhao Xing had previously enchanted these items, elevating the attributes of level 15 purple gear to match that of level 35 counterparts. Initially, it didn¡¯t prove useful due to the peculiar nature of the equipment, and he did not need for it. However, the situation had changed. Returning his focus to the gear, it was a firearm designed for mechanics. [Ashes of Soul].[Level: 40].[Quality: King (Red)].[Attack Power: 600 (400+200)]. The values outside the brackets represented total attributes, while those inside indicated original attributes plus enchanting attributes. Upon seeing this, Zhao Xing remained unfazed. Firearm weapons like the Ashes of Soul typically had modest single-attack power for a level 40 king-tier equipment. Even after enchanting, it lagged behind some martial arts or magic equipment of similar quality. The key lay in its rate of fire ¨C how rapidly it could attack per second. [Rate of Fire: 30 (10+20)].[Power: 150 (50+100)].[Speed: 10 (2+8)].[Hit rate: 40% (30%+10%)]. Although its individual attack power was meager, the output surged several times immediately due to the increased rate of fire. It outclassed other professions in output, relying on attributes such as hit rate, speed, movement speed, and fire rate ¨C crucial for mechanics. Even Zhao Xing, with limited expertise, recognized that this weapon¡¯s attributes alone surpassed other same-level equipment. Ashes of Soul featured two effects. The original effect, [Soul Burning], granted each bullet a 10% chance to bypass defenses and inflict real damage. Zhao Xing knew this was formidable. The second effect, [Soul Slaying], added after enchantment, had a 3% chance for each bullet to reduce the target¡¯s HP by 30%. ¡°Huh? This effect¡­¡± Zhao Xing was momentarily shocked. It seemed too extraordinary. With luck, one could eliminate a target in just four shots ¨C a true nemesis for high HP bosses. Though the effect¡¯s introduction was concise, Zhao Xing wasn¡¯t concerned. Higher-ups likely handled detailed testing and any potential restrictions. Holding the firearm, Zhao Xing smiled. After extensive work, he finally crafted a satisfying piece. There should be recognition for his talent, and this gun ought to prove it. ¡°Seeing how delighted you are, it seems it¡¯s done?¡± Guan Ya inquired. ¡°Well, finally, one came out,¡± Zhao Xing said with a smile. I¡¯ll be taking more walks with Sister Ya in the future, and the first one will be shipped as soon as I get back. ¡°, you just know how to tease me,¡± Guan Ya remarked. ¡°Hurry up and send it over. They should be waiting.¡± ¡°Um.¡± After explaining to Fang Hong, Zhao Xing halted the enchanting process. It was time for him to rest too. ¡­ The meeting room¡¯s door swung open with a bang. Fang Hong hurriedly entered. Zhang Haiqiang and others paid no mind to his abrupt entrance. Instead, they eagerly peered in, anticipation etched on their faces. Zhang Haiqiang, maintaining composure, calmly inquired, ¡°Director Fang, from what it looks like, Zhao Xing has succeeded?¡± Fang Hong excitedly exclaimed, ¡°Yes, leader, it¡¯s done! This¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Fang Hong felt the equipment being taken away by Wang Long. Fang Hong couldn¡¯t help but laugh, opting to walk away silently and obediently close the door. The atmosphere in the conference room instantly heated up. ¡°Leaders, don¡¯t get too excited. Everyone is tired. Let me, an enchanter, handle this trivial appraisal.¡± Lin Feng, despite being old, was quick and the first to approach Wang Long. ¡°Old Lin, you¡¯re advanced in age; why are you still going out by yourself? I¡¯ll do it.¡± Liu Qingshan, a robust sword fighter, promptly shoved Lin Feng aside, drawing an anxious glare from the elderly enchanter. Unable to snatch it, Shen Yun scolded Liu Qingshan alongside Lin Feng, criticizing his lack of martial arts ethics, pitting strength against auxiliary professions, and exploiting superpower skills. Though others remained seated, their eyes were fixed on the unfolding scene. Wang Long, with a hint of regret, held the weapon. ¡°It¡¯s a pity. This is for mechanics, soul binding. It¡¯s a waste if I use it.¡± sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Liu Qingshan, don¡¯t grab it. You won¡¯t need it. Don¡¯t waste it.¡± Unhappy, Liu Qingshan retorted, ¡°A level 40 king-grade equipment isn¡¯t a big deal.¡± After all, he was a Transcendent above level 60. A level 40 king-grade equipment held less value for him. Even if crafted by Zhao Xing, its research significance outweighed its practicality. Wang Long smacked the weapon onto Liu Qingshan¡¯s chest. ¡°Come on, take a look at its attributes. If you want punishment, unseal it. Do you dare?¡± Reluctantly taking it, Liu Qingshan examined it, then shook his head with a bitter expression. ¡°Good guy, I really don¡¯t dare.¡± Lin Feng, agitated, scolded, ¡°What the hell are you two doing, reporting the attributes like a game of charades? Just read it!¡± Liu Qingshan handed the weapon to Lin Feng, saying, ¡°Old Lin, take a look, don¡¯t bind it.¡± Lin Feng took the weapon, stared at it dumbfounded, and muttered, ¡°I¡¯m stupid! This, this, this¡­¡± Everyone fell silent. Lin Feng, agile just moments ago, now seemed at a loss for words. The old man appeared more ink-stained than anticipated. Eventually, Zhang Haiqiang took over and read out the attributes one by one. When the second additional effect was revealed, the entire conference room fell into silence. Observing their expressions, Zhang Haiqiang wryly smiled and said, ¡°It seems that this equipment cannot be tested today.¡± Everyone shared the same thought. King-level equipment was bound once unsealed, and only the bound person could use it. The attribute unveiled was clearly not something to be casually tested by others. Its actual combat capabilities might exceed imagination, requiring a worthy user to avoid wasting resources. ¡°Old Wang, find an extraordinary mechanic and bring them here. Ensure they sign the confidentiality agreement before discussing the business.¡± ¡°No problem, leave it to me.¡± Without further delay, Wang Long left to make a phone call. Zhang Haiqiang distributed the weapons for everyone to examine, his expression reflecting a sense of helplessness. Being too talented had its downsides. Among the experts in the room, no one was qualified to test Zhao Xing¡¯s enchanted equipment. ¡°It seems that Nanhu Province can¡¯t keep him anymore. Once the test results are out, we need to report them as soon as possible.¡± Chapter 23 - Space Ring, Legendary Equipment! Chapter 23: Space Ring, Legendary Equipment!On the night Ashes of Soul was released, Zhao Xing didn¡¯t encounter the big bosses from the Education Department and the military. Time constraints prevented any lengthy discussions. Yang Tianming had initially invited Zhao Xing to meet with the leaders, but Zhang Haiqiang intervened, advising Zhao Xing to head back and rest first. ¡°Tianming, safeguarding our talents extends beyond personal safety. Emotional considerations are crucial. Simplify official procedures for this extraordinary talent, making them feel comfortable and at ease. This is a valuable lesson for both of us. We still have room for improvement.¡± Yang Tianming nodded in acknowledgment, appreciating the leadership insights shared by Zhang Haiqiang. ¡­ In the resettlement complex, it was already midnight when Zhao Xing returned home. The light in Zhao Ming¡¯s room was still on, and his younger brother was already asleep. Zhao Xing gently entered, covering his brother with the quilt. Despite his quiet movements, Zhao Ming woke up. ¡°Brother, are you done with work?¡± ¡°Well¡­ no, I didn¡¯t finish work. I didn¡¯t go to work today.¡± ¡°You¡¯re working late in the school¡¯s enchanting laboratory. Isn¡¯t that considered working for the school? They even provide our meals.¡± ¡°Well¡­ this matter might be a little unclear for a while.¡± Zhao Xing suddenly found his younger brother¡¯s words making some sense. It did resemble part-time work. However, with the release of Ashes of Soul, high-intensity enchanting might not be necessary. Tomorrow, he planned to inquire about the recommendation. There had to be a letter of approval. ¡°Brother, I still think the food you cook is delicious. Why don¡¯t you stay at school at night?¡± Zhao Ming suggested. ¡°I appreciate your sentiment. Don¡¯t worry about it. Our life will get better in the future, and our parents can return to Anyang. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°But how will you¡­¡± ¡°Stop asking so many questions; go to sleep!¡± ¡°Oh.¡± A dreamless night passed. ¡­ After a restful night¡¯s sleep, Zhao Xing descended the stairs in the morning. The working group¡¯s car awaited him downstairs. Not seeing Guan Ya, Zhao Xing inquired, ¡°Where¡¯s Teacher Guan?¡± Fang Hong, responsible for transportation, responded, ¡°There¡¯s no training scheduled today, so the school gave Teacher Guan the day off. She¡¯s been working hard these past two days.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s understandable,¡± Zhao Xing nodded, and the shuttle began. Without questioning why he went to school, Zhao Xing considered that students in the second semester of the third year could manage their time freely. However, an important moment in life was approaching, prompting everyone to strive in the dungeons. Zhao Xing¡¯s decision to go to school was to discuss the recommendation with the principal. If that didn¡¯t pan out, he¡¯d have to prepare for the auxiliary occupation exam. Typically, both main combat and auxiliary professions had the chance to be admitted to a super school. The exams, though, had distinct content. Main combat professions emphasized level and actual combat, testing professional knowledge in depth and breadth. Auxiliary professions had lower-level requirements and focused on the enchantment or decomposition of specified propositions in actual combat. There were standardized scoring criteria, but the rule was clear: only white equipment of the corresponding level could be worn during the exam. Top schools set high standards, with the Transcendent Academy recruiting only a few dozen in a city and common thresholds at levels 10, 15, and 18. They respectively involved the opening of the main occupation tree and the mastery of occupation branch knowledge. Nowadays, most students are around level 10. Zhao Xing felt that even if he wasn¡¯t recommended for special recruitment, he could still enter the Transcendent Academy. Of course, it was more face-saving to get a recommendation, and there would be extra rewards. Why was he so obsessed with the recommendation? Because there was a lot of money for extra rewards. In this way, one of the parents could go home. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be at ease if his younger brother was alone at home¡­ ¡°I want to ask something.¡± When the car was parked downstairs in the school office, Zhao Xing decided to ask about the situation today. But he hadn¡¯t waited for him to speak yet. Yang Tianming took him to the conference room and brought up the matter on his initiative. ¡°Zhao Xing, this is Zhang Haiqiang, Minister Zhang from our Nanhu Education Department. And Director Lin Feng and Director Shen Yun, who are in charge of educational resources. Didn¡¯t you ask me about the recommendation before? I immediately reported it to the Education Department. Several leaders have strongly supported the work of the past few days.¡± Yang Tianming provided a brief introduction, and Zhao Xing was well aware of the weight of these big shots. Immediately, they exchanged greetings. The rest of the people stared at Zhao Xing with eager eyes. At this time, the results of the preliminary test of the Ashes of Soul had come out. The priority level and the upper limit of the effect were beyond people¡¯s imagination. Although the trigger rate of the effect of reducing blood volume had not been tested on high-level bosses on humans, it had already achieved initial results and was an absolute killer! This kid was a treasure now! Lin Feng, Shen Yun, and the others were looking at a magic weapon! This made Zhao Xing a little nervous! Zhang Haiqiang smiled and said, ¡°Student Zhao, don¡¯t be nervous. Have you had breakfast yet? Let¡¯s not talk about business for now. Let¡¯s eat something first and talk while eating.¡± The middle-aged man waved his hand lightly, and a pile of ingredients appeared on the table. An assistant next to him stepped forward, his hands glowing white, and then a delicious breakfast appeared. The assistant was obviously a [Nutritionist] in the sub-profession. These ingredients themselves were not rare, but they could produce nutritional value. Even when taking it, Zhao Xing got a reminder. Taking a certain amount for a long time would permanently increase a certain attribute. Obviously, this was a nutritionist with a high level! In addition, Zhang Haiqiang¡¯s ability to change ingredients out of thin air also surprised Zhao Xing. ¡°Transformation out of thin air, is this space equipment?¡± Zhang Haiqiang took a sip of the soup, smiled, and pointed to the ring on his right hand: ¡°Yes, a level 60 space ring.¡± Zhao Xing felt his eyes widen: ¡°There really is such a thing; I thought it was a legend?¡± Zhang Haiqiang smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re right; it¡¯s indeed legendary equipment. Come on, touch it and see its attributes.¡± After Zhao Xing touched it, he immediately saw the attributes of this ring. [Ring of Sirocco].[Level: 70].[Quality: Legendary].[Status: Soul bound, three times enchanted].[Defense power +500,000, the defense category is space defense, which does not belong to physics, magic, mind power, supernatural power, or mechanical systems, and is space rule defense!].[Guardian of the King: It can form a barrier covering a radius of 1 kilometer at most, with a shield energy value of 1 million, which can consume the wearer¡¯s energy value to replenish, has self-recovery power, 10 points per second, and can last indefinitely until the shield value If it is 0, it enters a 90-day cooling-off period. ¡¿[Magic Space: It has a storage space of 1 million cubic meters. ¡¿[¡®My dear children, whoever performs the most among you will be able to become the king and gain the greatest wealth in the kingdom. ¡¯¡ªKing Sherlock. ¡¿ ¡°This, this, this¡­¡± Zhao Xing was stunned. A level 70 legendary equipment with three enchantments! Not to mention providing the wearer with 500,000 defense points. It actually had two miraculous effects! The minister in front of him was absolutely extraordinary. With this ring, it was as difficult as heaven to break through his shield! Seeing Zhao Xing¡¯s appearance, Zhang Haiqiang smiled and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you surprised by three enchantments, all of which increase defense.¡± ¡°Yes, this defensive ability is simply too strong,¡± Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion. It was still an independent space rule defense, and any defense-reducing equipment might not be effective. Who could destroy this? ¡°How can I not be strong.¡± Zhang Haiqiang smiled, ¡°If I die, the soul binding will be released. This ring contains all state property. I¡¯m usually responsible for allocating various educational resources. If any war happens, this ring will be the most important logistics transportation line. Now you understand why the three enchantments all add defense?¡± Zhao Xing nodded, expressing his understanding. Indeed, he couldn¡¯t throw this thing away. He had to take good care of it. ¡°Come on, eat quickly. It¡¯s getting cold. I¡¯ll tell you about the origin of this ring. It¡¯s quite interesting.¡± Chapter 24 - Rewards and talks, the spot is secured! Chapter 24: Rewards and talks, the spot is secured!¡°Speaking of the dungeon back then, the number of monsters in it was ridiculously large, and civilization was developed, establishing a powerful kingdom¡­¡± While Zhang Haiqiang was telling the story, Zhao Xing was also fascinated by it. Unknowingly, the atmosphere became relaxed, and there was no longer the tension and estrangement when they first met. Zhang Haiqiang had no airs of leadership at all. It was like an amiable elder telling a bedtime story to his child. He could even describe the dangerous part of the battle in a very relaxed and humorous tone. ¡°At that time, the biggest boss king of the dungeon, King Xilock, sent his nine children to attack us. We stood guard at the entrance of the dungeon for a long time, thinking that they would knock us out. In that case, Nanhu Province would be ravaged by these monsters. As a result, guess what happened?¡± Zhao Xing drank the soup in one gulp, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and asked curiously, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Three of them lost their way on the way. The other two were secretly stumbling on each other, but they fought first. Hahaha, these idiots!¡± ¡°Haha.¡± Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t help laughing. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Although Zhang Haiqiang said it lightly, from just a few words, Zhao Xing could tell that war might be very dangerous. In the original dungeon, not only humans could enter. The monster inside would also rush out. The Ring of Sirocco it was once a legendary piece of equipment in the hands of the king. Then breaking it must have taken a lot of effort. The country could hand over such an important thing to the minister in front of him. Presumably, the other party had made great contributions in the past. After all, this was a soul-binding item, and it would only drop after death. If he didn¡¯t perform particularly well, how could he be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility? The story was over. Breakfast was also finished. Zhang Haiqiang wiped his mouth and chatted casually with Zhao Xing. For example, he asked Zhao Xing how many people were in his family and what his parents did. Although Zhang Haiqiang already knew about this. But he still talked about it. Until Zhao Xing completely lost his restraint. Zhang Haiqiang then changed the subject and asked with a smile, ¡°Zhao Xing, what is your idea?¡± Zhao Xing replied truthfully, ¡°Being able to go to a transcendence academy will earn more money in the future so that the family can live a better life. I hope that my parents don¡¯t have to travel around and can spend more time with my brother.¡± Zhang Haiqiang seemed very happy after hearing this, ¡°Then your wish will come true soon.¡± Zhao Xing was shocked for a moment, then asked, ¡°You mean?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. In your current situation, there must be no problem with the recommendation. In the special recruitment list of the Transcendence Academy of the National Association, you are given a place of free choice. As for which school you want to go to, that¡¯s up to you. You could go back and share the good news with your family. Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t believe it. He asked cautiously, ¡°Really? I don¡¯t need to do anything else. For example, continue to enchant equipment or something.¡± Zhang Haiqiang asked back with a smile, ¡°Do you want to do it? If you don¡¯t want to do it, you don¡¯t have to. No one will force you. I said so.¡± Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said, ¡°If there are no hard and fast rules, then I¡¯m still very willing. After all, so many materials are available for free.¡± ¡°Hahaha.¡± Zhang Haiqiang laughed and said with a smile, ¡°Not only is it free, but you also get money! I won¡¯t let you do it in vain. The labor you put in will surely bear fruit. You have proven your talent. Before you go to the Transcendence Academy, every time you achieve results, you will get the reward you deserve. It will be issued in the form of a scholarship. In this specific situation, there will be a special teacher to talk to you later. I¡¯ll let your main tutor, Teacher Guan Ya, talk to you. She is waiting for you next door. Thanks.¡± Zhao Xing said goodbye to everyone politely and went to the office next door. After Zhao Xing left, Lin Feng and others looked at Zhang Haiqiang. ¡°Old Zhang, you don¡¯t seem to have said anything. You¡¯ve been telling stories to this kid for a long time. Don¡¯t instill values so that he doesn¡¯t forget our Nanhu Provincial Education Department.¡± Zhang Haiqiang smiled and said, ¡°Why would I do this? I¡¯m very happy. He didn¡¯t say anything about serving the motherland in front of us, which proves that he already trusts me. And there¡¯s no need to say what you said. We and our predecessors worked hard to make the country stronger so that everyone can become the person they want to be.¡± ¡°The country hopes that everyone builds their own home from the heart. The revival of the country is a responsibility, but it is not and should not be a burden. Why should I let him take on these things prematurely? Is it the time of life and death for our China? So much so that a student who is not yet 18 is going to take on this responsibility now?¡± The person who asked the question was speechless. Everyone also thought it made sense. It had to be said that it was reasonable for old Zhang to be the head of the Education Department. As far as this ideological awareness and pattern were concerned, it was unmatched by others. ¡°Old Zhang, is that what the above said? There are no additional requirements?¡± Zhang Haiqiang nodded, ¡°After hearing about it, the military had an idea to ask Zhao Xing to make more equipment. In the preliminary test of Ashes of Soul, you have also seen the effect. Old Liu, your overbearing body can¡¯t stand it. However, we are the Education Department. How can we force people to do things? After listening to my suggestion, the higher-ups also think that it is the best choice for Zhao Xing to go to the Transcendence Academy. Honestly, I hope that after he graduates from the Transcendence Academy, he can also contribute to the country while maintaining a sense of happiness. As for the military¡¯s request, Zhao Xing said it just now. It¡¯s not like he doesn¡¯t want to do it. Satisfy his requirements well. Those who are able will get more. If he does more, he will be given more bonuses. The choice is his.¡± In the office next door. Guan Ya was communicating with Zhao Xing. There was a contract in front of him. ¡°Here is a contract, an order from Chu Longjun of Nanhu Province. The general content is that every time you complete an order, you can get a corresponding monetary reward. Materials and equipment are provided to you for free, and they come according to your needs.¡± After a pause, Guan Ya said again, ¡°In addition, the Nanhu Education Department will give you a maximum subsidy of 5 million yuan, which is in accordance with the highest standard of the Special Talent Treatment Regulations. Besides, before you go to the Transcendence Academy, you can still get free training treatment. These treatments don¡¯t make any demands on you. It is purely a policy of the country and the Education Department of Nanhu Province to support special talents.¡± Zhao Xing nodded, he understood. 5 million and free coaching, this was free, and it belonged to the positive policy support. Of course, the hometown education department contributed to this, and the 5 million was also spent on the finance of Nanhu Province. He should not forget this. Next was the order from the military. This was purely the result of the efforts of Wang Long, the colonel of Chu Longjun, after learning the preliminary test results of Ashes of Soul. He immediately reported to the higher authorities. In a cooperative way, order equipment from Zhao Xing. This batch of equipment was to stay in the Chu Long Army. It would last until Zhao Xing left Nanhu Province. Seeing from above, Wang Long and Zhang Haiqiang worked hard and gave Chu Longjun a chance. During this period of time, if Zhao Xing could be persuaded to put in more effort, it would all belong to Chu Longjun. However, Zhao Xing himself did not know the process behind this. After he finished reading it, he was overwhelmed by a strong sense of happiness. There were only two thoughts in his mind, Chapter 25 - Amazing test results! Unlimited cuts?! Chapter 25: Amazing test results! Unlimited cuts?!After the contract was signed, the 2 million yuan reward landed in the account within half an hour. When it came to special matters, speed was naturally of the essence. Once the money was in, Zhao Xing¡¯s immediate thought was to share the good news with his parents. He took out his cell phone and dialed his father¡¯s number, Zhao Ruimin. Zhao Ruimin and Qin Yulian, both working as chefs in a distant dungeon base, were Zhao Xing¡¯s parents. The culinary profession, once popular, faced a decline since the Blue Star mutation. In the current era, auxiliary occupations outnumbered main combat roles, leading to a shift in popularity. The call connected after a while amidst some background noise. ¡°Hey, Zhao Xing, what¡¯s up? I¡¯m busy. Can I call you back later?¡± Zhao Ruimin inquired. ¡°Dad, find a quieter place. I have something urgent,¡± Zhao Xing requested. ¡°Alright, give me a moment.¡± After a brief silence, the noise subsided, and Zhao Ruimin¡¯s voice became clearer, ¡°What¡¯s the rush? Did your brother get into trouble at school?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s about me. The Education Department awarded me a bonus of 2 million. When can you come back to Anyang?¡± Zhao Xing shared. There was a pause on the other end, and then Zhao Ruimin asked cautiously, ¡°Zhao Xing, are you sure this isn¡¯t a trick?¡± Realizing the complexity of the situation, Zhao Xing replied, ¡°Let¡¯s do this, Dad. Hang up for now, and I¡¯ll have the school teacher call you.¡± After ending the call, Zhao Xing turned to Guan Ya and said, ¡°Sister Ya, I need your help with this.¡± Guan Ya smiled, ¡°No problem.¡± ¡­ In the South Lake Province, at the Chulong Military Base, a small transport plane landed, and a middle-aged man in exoskeleton tech disembarked. Donning a closed helmet with red lights, he was accompanied by entourages carrying heavy boxes. Wang Long and his team awaited their arrival. ¡°Gao Feng, you¡¯re here. Have you brought everyone?¡± Wang Long greeted. Opening his helmet, Gao Feng, a senior officer of China¡¯s No. 1 Military Academy, revealed a determined face. One rank lower than Wang Long, he saluted, ¡°Sir, everything is prepared according to your requirements.¡± Returning the salute, Wang Long said, ¡°Junior Brother Gao, thanks for your efforts. Let¡¯s go.¡± Curious, Gao Feng asked, ¡°Brother, you had me fly here overnight and bring laboratory testing equipment. What¡¯s the situation?¡± Smiling, Wang Long replied, ¡°Junior brother, did you sign the confidentiality agreement before coming?¡± Complaining, Gao Feng said, ¡°Brother, I was pulled out of bed and wasn¡¯t fully dressed when I boarded the plane. Do you think I had time to get approval from higher authorities?¡± ¡°Quickly tell me, and I¡¯ll have the adjutant submit a report and apply.¡± Shaking his head, Wang Long insisted, ¡°That won¡¯t work. Let¡¯s sign first, and then we can discuss. It¡¯s a matter of principle. You can have the higher-ups send an electronic version. Let¡¯s head to the testing place first.¡± Convinced, Gao Feng stopped struggling. As this seemed a matter of principle, there was no other way to handle it. They headed to the meeting room, and after a while, Gao Feng signed the confidentiality agreement. Now, his curiosity was piqued. As a lieutenant colonel, he even had to sign the secrecy agreement, indicating the potential gravity of the situation. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Brother, can you tell me now?¡± Gao Feng inquired as Wang Long unveiled a box, revealing the words ¡°Ashes of Soul.¡± This king-level equipment intrigued Gao Feng, and he couldn¡¯t help but be surprised when he read the subsequent attributes. ¡°Is the attribute enchanted?¡± ¡°That¡¯s correct. The attack power, speed, and strength are all exceptionally high.¡± ¡°Hey, the rate of fire has increased threefold. Who enchanted this?¡± Being a mechanic, Gao Feng understood the functionality of various weapons well. Rate of fire and durability were crucial factors in determining the quality of a weapon. Additionally, the attack power of firearms from dungeons generally fell short compared to their counterparts at the same level. ¡°Take a closer look,¡± Wang Long smiled, ¡°pay attention to the special effects.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the special effect of Ashes of Soul the same? Wait, there¡¯s another one.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Gao Feng¡¯s expression changed instantly upon seeing the Soul Slaying special effect. ¡°Am I seeing things?¡± Wang Long nodded, ¡°Absolutely.¡± ¡°Have you tested it? What¡¯s the restriction level, which defensive characteristics are triggered, and can it activate all types of defense?¡± Gao Feng bombarded Wang Long with a series of questions. However, he soon slapped his thigh, realizing, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m so excited. I forgot that king-grade equipment is soul-bound¡­¡± After a momentary pause, he inquired, ¡°Did you call me here for this?¡± Wang Long confirmed, ¡°Yes, after the test, it¡¯s yours.¡± ¡°Brother, what are you waiting for? Let¡¯s get started!¡± As if uncovering a hidden treasure, Gao Feng eagerly grabbed the weapon and soul-bound it. Wang Long chuckled, ¡°Junior brother, you¡¯re a senior researcher in the weapons research and development department of the university. Don¡¯t act like you¡¯ve never seen the world.¡± The First Military Academy was among China¡¯s Transcendence Academies, boasting numerous talents. To be a senior researcher in the weapons department required not just Transcendence level combat strength but also a broad knowledge base and significant research and development contributions. Mechanics were among the few who could create their equipment, and Gao Feng, being in this field, couldn¡¯t hide his excitement at encountering such a unique piece. ¡°Senior brother, am I wrong? You¡¯d react the same if this were a sword!¡± Wang Long playfully retorted, ¡°Okay, do as you wish. Let¡¯s start the test now. The lab is ready for you. Here¡¯s a preliminary report from the enchanter for your reference.¡± Gao Feng shook his head, stating, ¡°I don¡¯t need to look at others¡¯ work. Let¡¯s start directly.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± An hour later, Gao Feng emerged from the laboratory with a stunned expression. Wang Long had been waiting patiently. ¡°How was it?¡± Gao Feng could only muster four words, ¡°Absolutely awe-inspiring!¡± ¡°The attributes of this level 40 king-grade equipment are comparable to level 60 king-grade weapons. It even excels in rate of fire and durability. The enchantment is simply incredible.¡± ¡°If the master can enchant skills and further enhance the attributes, I can use it as my main weapon.¡± Wang Long inquired, ¡°What about the special effect of Soul Slaying? From which level does the trigger rate decrease, and what is the upper limit level? Can it activate all defense types?¡± Gao Feng tapped his wrist projector and presented a data report, stating, ¡°I¡¯ve tested physical, magic, supernatural, and mechanical defense in the five major systems. Except for mind power defense, it triggers in front of any defense type.¡± Wang Long, considering the scarce materials in the Psychic Department, assumed it should work there too. After all, the weapon was named Ashes of Soul. Wang Long asked, ¡°Has the upper limit level been tested? From what level does the trigger rate decrease?¡± Gao Feng excitedly replied, ¡°There¡¯s no decrease! At levels 40, 50, 60, 70, it has the same trigger probability¡ª at least in my hands!¡± ¡°What?!¡± Wang Long was astonished. The highest known dungeon monster level was 90, while the highest human level was 70. If this weapon wasn¡¯t limited by itself, it was only restricted by the user. As long as there was a difference in attribute level between the user and the monster, there might be a diminishing effect. But such an effect could be avoided through attribute strengthening or level upgrading. Excited at the possibilities, Wang Long exclaimed, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s head to the dungeon for some real combat!¡± Chapter 26 - Combat Test, Level 80 Boss! Chapter 26: Combat Test, Level 80 Boss! Wang Long, a berserker at level 68, and Gao Feng, a level 65 weapon master (mechanical), were both part of the elite transcendent group on the sixtieth level. Their career paths were extensive, and their combat prowess far exceeded the typical Transcendents at their level. The focus wasn¡¯t on leveling up; instead, enhancing combat strength took precedence. Currently, their attention was captivated by the prospect of the next dungeon, primarily due to the astonishing results seen in testing the ¡°Soul Slaying¡± effect. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation. In transit to the Cangshan military base, Wang Long engaged in a flurry of phone calls. ¡°Esteemed leader, I apologize for the late hour. I have a request to venture into the advanced dungeon at Cangshan for a practical examination.¡± ¡°That¡¯s correct, the Ashes of the Soul, alongside Gao Feng from the First Military Academy.¡± ¡°Thank you for your unwavering support, leader!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll promptly report the findings to you.¡± After a series of calls, Wang Long enlisted the aid of more than a dozen extraordinary individuals. Gao Feng, wielding his weapon, shared in the excitement. ¡°Senior brother, why not invite more people?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s assemble a larger group of transcendent individuals and tackle the ¡®Sky Behemoth¡¯ in the Cangshan Dungeon directly. If we triumph, it will be a remarkable feat!¡± The Cangshan base hosted multiple dungeons, and the ¡°Sky Behemoth¡± was among the elite ¡°World-Class¡± dungeons in China. With monsters starting at level 70 and the boss at level 80, it promised substantial rewards in legendary equipment, materials, advanced knowledge, and precious items. Its significance exceeded many level 90 normal dungeons. Although the base had not yet conquered this world-class dungeon, Wang Long hesitated, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s start with a standard dungeon for experimentation. Delving into the giant beast dungeon right away is a bit complicated. Unsealing it requires valuable materials, and with many Transcendents entering, it could attract attention. If not managed properly, problems may arise.¡± Gao Feng countered, ¡°But if we succeed, we might defeat the boss! The rewards would be significant! Currently, only 11 countries on Blue Star can conquer world-class dungeons. China has conquered three, ranking fourth. If we conquer one more this time, the impact will be immense. Our international influence will soar!¡± Wang Long agreed cautiously, ¡°True, but we must also consider the consequences. Junior Brother, I understand you had the nickname Mad Dog in school, but now you must exercise restraint.¡± Gao Feng retorted, ¡°Brother, it¡¯s been ages since I had that nickname. If you don¡¯t want to go, fine, but spare me from mentioning my dark past. I¡¯ll be meeting Chao Fan from Cangshan later. I implore you not to bring it up.¡± Wang Long assured him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡­ At the Cangshan base, Wang Long introduced himself and Gao Feng to the team leaders. Gao Feng couldn¡¯t hide his irritation as his senior brother spilled the beans about his past nickname. Wang Long quickly moved the conversation forward, and Meng Ao, the temporary captain, briefed them. ¡°I know you¡¯re in a hurry. As long as you avoid the ¡®Sky Behemoth,¡¯ you¡¯re free to explore other areas,¡± Meng Ao explained. Wang Long acknowledged, ¡°Great, no need for formalities. We¡¯re prepared. Let¡¯s proceed.¡± ¡°Sure thing,¡± Meng Ao said, and the team of 17 extraordinary individuals gathered at an open space on the military base. A light blue vortex shimmered above, resembling a portal, with armed guards and weapons surrounding it. Among the vortices, the most significant one, bright red and swirling, marked the entrance to the ¡®Sky Behemoth¡¯ dungeon. Four orange-glowing chains surrounded the entrance, adding to its imposing presence. Gao Feng, eager to test his mettle, glanced at the entrance. Wang Long cautioned, ¡°Don¡¯t be hasty. Let¡¯s conduct a preliminary test. There¡¯s still time.¡± Gao Feng nodded and stepped into a nearby light blue vortex. ¡­ The world seemed to be whirling around them. Before long, 17 individuals materialized in a desolate expanse. The sky displayed hues of blue-green, adorned with scattered clouds in the eastern and western directions. This spectacle was due to numerous emerald-green peaks hovering in the atmosphere. ¡°Dungeon¡ªSky Behemoth!¡± Proclaimed Wang Long. Addressing Captain Meng, Wang Long expressed, ¡°I¡¯ll be part of your team for this mission.¡± Meng Ao nodded, seeking clarification, ¡°What¡¯s the mission?¡± Wang Long gestured towards Gao Feng, stating, ¡°Guard him. Ensure that the colossal lizard doesn¡¯t get close. However, refrain from causing harm to those lizards. All the damage output will come from him alone. Maintain the defense until he decides otherwise.¡± The mission was peculiar. The directive was to prevent attacks and solely safeguard the mechanic, Gao Feng, even encouraging zero damage to the boss. In Meng Ao¡¯s assessment, defeating the Sky Behemoth solo would be a daunting task. The fire dragon possessed thick blood and formidable defenses, presenting a formidable challenge. It was, after all, an 80th-level Lord Boss. Nevertheless, a soldier¡¯s duty was adherence to orders. Meng Ao provided succinct instructions to the team members. With 17 individuals present, the boss seemed no real threat; at worst, they could retreat. ¡°We¡¯ve grasped the mission details. Colonel Wang Long, please issue instructions,¡± Meng Ao requested. ¡°Alright, commence!¡± ¡­ Seventeen transcendent figures, each specializing in different combat professions, immediately initiated the mission. With the mechanic accompanying them, the flying vehicle touched down directly on the island, bypassing smaller islands inhabited by regular monsters. These ordinary creatures could not detect or pursue them. The 17 extraordinary individuals swiftly executed the mission, landing on the topmost and largest floating island. A level 80 ¡®Fire Dragon King¡¯ resided there. Though referred to as a dragon, it was, in fact, a magical beast with wings. The team members were well-versed in the creature¡¯s attributes¡ªproficient in four types of high-level fire magic, capable of summoning minions, and possessing robust dual resistance and recovery capabilities. Its HP exceeded 1 million, with its vulnerable point being the chest under the neck and two palm-sized reverse scales. Drawing from past experiences, upon landing on the island, five people immediately positioned themselves around the periphery to thwart interference from the ¡®son of the dragon and grandson of the dragon.¡¯ Simultaneously, the remaining 12 individuals advanced in a fan-shaped formation. Having escorted Gao Feng to the optimal killing range, they stationed themselves to protect him on the spot. ¡°Report! The target is located!¡± ¡°The Fire Dragon King emerged from the palace.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let it take off. Engage it on the ground. Three sets, restrain it with gravity magic.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The three superpowers employed restraining skills, all with similar effects. Gravity restraint could momentarily prevent the Fire Dragon King from taking flight. Meanwhile, five members from the magic department swiftly erected a barrier to ward off the dragon¡¯s long-range breath attack. Both Meng Ao and Wang Long hailed from the Martial Arts Department, positioning themselves around Gao Feng. The remaining team members drew the attention of the Fire Dragon King, luring it closer. ¡°¡± ¡°¡± The coordination among the 17 individuals was methodical. Being seasoned, even the roars of the Fire Dragon King posed no real threat to them. As the target entered the maximum damage range, Gao Feng wasted no time and pulled the trigger. Mechanical force surged within the gun. [Hawkeye] skill activated! The hit rate increased, crit rate increased![Mechanical Power Blessing] kicked in, temporarily enhancing the weapon¡¯s attributes by 20%![Ultimate Overload] activated, temporarily boosting the rate of fire of mechanical weapons by 1 time! ¡°¡± Flames erupted from the muzzle of Ashes of Soul. The red king-grade light illuminated brightly. In just one second, Gao Feng unleashed 60 bullets, each shot accompanied by a series of numerical values above the Fire Dragon King¡¯s head. Within four seconds, a resounding impact echoed. ¡°Snapped!¡± The colossal body of the Fire Dragon King collapsed weakly to the ground. A notification flashed for everyone. [Fire Dragon King (level 80) has been killed!]. All the Transcendents stood momentarily stunned.

Chapter 27: We must recruit him into our school!¡°What the heck just happened?¡± ¡°Why did the Fire Dragon King kick the bucket?¡± ¡°Was it 2 seconds, or maybe 3 seconds?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The members of the Transcendent Squad were utterly bewildered. This was the Fire Dragon King, boasting over 1 million hit points! Despite their experience and the increased number of participants this time, it hadn¡¯t felt like a challenging encounter. But now, it was vanquished by Gao Feng alone! The rest of the team members had zero output! One million HP depleted in three seconds? This was beyond their comprehension! ¡°Mad dog, you¡¯re too fierce!¡± ¡°How the heck did you pull that off?¡± Meng Ao couldn¡¯t help but inquire. ¡°Everyone, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to spill the beans, but it involves confidentiality regulations,¡± Gao Feng replied with a few carefully chosen words. ¡°I can only say that luck was on my side, and that¡¯s how it happened.¡± Wang Long, aware of his junior brother¡¯s cheeky nature, maintained a calm expression, though there might be joy hidden within. Indeed, Gao Feng¡¯s heart was in turmoil at this moment. The panel¡¯s prompt had revealed everything to him. [Your weapon, Ashes of Soul, triggers the effect of [Soul Slaying], causing 300,000 points of damage!][Your weapon, Ashes of Soul, triggers the effect of [Soul Slaying], causing 300,000 points of damage!] Within four seconds, he fired 240 shots. However, in the second, after firing 120 shots, the Ashes of Soul¡¯s effect was triggered four times, leading to the Fire Dragon King¡¯s demise with 1 million HP! He had anticipated a lengthier wait for the original 3% probability to kick in, but luck was on his side, triggering it four times within 120 shots. ¡°Alright, we won¡¯t press you further,¡± Meng Ao nodded, suppressing his astonishment. ¡°Do you want to continue the mission?¡± ¡°Everyone is present,¡± Gao Feng smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s tidy up the mobs outside. You guys protect, and I¡¯ll take the shots.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± ¡­ After half an hour, Gao Feng, Wang Long, Meng Ao, and the others exited the dungeon, stepping out of the blue vortex. They quickly bid farewell to Meng Ao and company, proceeding to a temporary conference room requested by Wang Long and Gao Feng. As soon as they entered, tension enveloped their expressions. ¡°Spill it, what went down?¡± Wang Long grabbed Gao Feng¡¯s shoulder and shook him vigorously. ¡°Easy there, brother! You¡¯re gonna shake me apart!¡± Gao Feng laughed. ¡°The outcome is surprising. This weapon still packs a punch against an 80th-level Lord Boss. The Soul Slaying effect was triggered four times within 120 shots! The 3% probability practically feels like a certainty! It¡¯s still a 30% HP reduction, but the damage I dealt is 300,000! The level 80 boss test can¡¯t determine the upper limit of this weapon! At least under magic defense, there¡¯s no diminishing effect or weakening!¡± Wang Long clenched his fists, expressing his inner excitement. ¡°Well done!¡± Gao Feng exclaimed enthusiastically. ¡°Brother, let¡¯s report to the higher-ups. How about organizing a trip to Qingtian Dungeon?¡± Wang Long¡¯s excitement tempered upon hearing about the Sky Behemoth dungeon. ¡°Sky Island is a pure magic dungeon, and the sample test data is too limited. The Fire Dragon King is a level 80 magic lord, so we can¡¯t generalize it. It¡¯s also incomparable with the Sky Behemoth. Mechanically, it¡¯s much more challenging. However¡­ I¡¯ll include suggestions in the report.¡± Wang Long rubbed his face and continued, ¡°Let¡¯s test a few more times first so that the higher-ups can see the potential of this weapon. If the data is comprehensive, the chances of approval for entering the Sky Behemoth operation will be higher.¡± Gao Feng nodded in agreement. Opening the Sky Behemoth dungeon wouldn¡¯t be a walk in the park. A single mistake could prove fatal. High-end transcendent combat power wasn¡¯t easily cultivated, and without a high degree of certainty, action was impossible. It wasn¡¯t just about output. The configuration of the entire team needed meticulous planning, not out of fear of sacrifice but to avoid unnecessary losses. After all, these dungeons could be revisited. ¡°If people keep dying every time, who can endure it?¡± ¡°I get it. Let¡¯s attempt a few more tests.¡± ¡°Oh, by the way, senior brother, I haven¡¯t inquired about the enchanting master behind this gun.¡± Gao Feng was well aware. The Ashes of the Soul alone couldn¡¯t handle such a high-level dungeon. Its strength lay in its special effects¡ªthe result of the enchanter¡¯s work. Rushing to Cangshan, he hadn¡¯t even asked which enchanter crafted it. ¡°It¡¯s a high school student from Anyang City. The information is right here. Read it for yourself.¡± Wang Long handed over the information, leaving Gao Feng stunned. ¡°Brother, are you kidding me? Are you saying a junior enchanter made this?¡± ¡°Are you pulling my leg?¡± Wang Long helplessly replied, ¡°I know it¡¯s hard to believe, but you¡¯ll understand after reading the information. This file has the general¡¯s stamp. If you want to read it, take a look quickly. I suppose the level of secrecy will have to be raised when the actual combat results are submitted. You may not even have the right to check the details in the future. At most, I know some brief information that can be released to the public.¡± Gao Feng quickly perused the information. Ten minutes later, he looked up blankly, eyes filled with shock. ¡°What kind of god-level talent is this? It¡¯s incredible! Even world-renowned enchanting masters might not have such a strong talent, right?¡± Wang Long sighed, ¡°That¡¯s correct. It¡¯s because of this that the country has decided to send this kid to a transcendence academy for further studies. Oh, if only he could stay with Chu Longjun. I¡¯d confess to him and give him whatever he wants. Sadly, I can¡¯t keep a genius who is too monstrous.¡± Wang Long appeared melancholy. Even though he had secured opportunities and equipment from Zhao Xing, the higher-ups had included Zhao Xing¡¯s name on the Transcendent Special Recruitment list. There was only one month left until the special recruitment work of Transcendent Academy would commence. For a month, he didn¡¯t know how many pieces of equipment Zhao Xing could produce. While he didn¡¯t expect king-grade equipment, even a batch of purple equipment would elevate his special company to a higher level. Gao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing this. ¡°Brother, you can¡¯t keep people, but I can! The higher-ups have appointed me for the special recruiting job at the Military Academy this year. I¡¯m one of the people in charge!¡± Wang Long chuckled and said, ¡°I know. Why do you think I didn¡¯t invite anyone else to test this piece of equipment but you? You¡¯re not the only mechanic above level 60.¡± Gao Feng gave a thumbs up. ¡°Brother, you really don¡¯t forget your roots. I will definitely appreciate your alma mater in the future! This time, I¡¯ll try to get Zhao Xing to come to our First Military Academy for the special recruitment work of the Transcendent Academy.¡± Wang Long said, ¡°Then you need to put in more thought and effort. The higher-ups won¡¯t favor any Transcendental Institute, and they¡¯ll probably get relevant news. Even if you don¡¯t know the whole picture, it¡¯s enough for the Transcendent Academy to take the lead until you get a little word of it. Whether you can win him over depends on your ability.¡± Gao Feng nodded, ¡°At least I have the upper hand. Brother, didn¡¯t you say you have a cooperation order with him? Please tell him some kind words about me, please.¡± Wang Long squinted and said, ¡°Oh, who just wanted to give me a hard time behind my back, blaming me for saying your nickname. Now you¡¯re begging me, huh?¡± Gao Feng grinned. ¡°Senior brother, you can call me whatever you want. It¡¯s just a bit of history, do as you please. How about I give you a few words on the spot?¡± S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Get lost,¡± Wang Long couldn¡¯t help being speechless. ¡°Why does a mechanic¡¯s skin have to be thicker than city walls?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do if it¡¯s not thick,¡± Gao Feng said. ¡°You know my profession burns the most money. If you¡¯re still thin-skinned, you won¡¯t get anything.¡± ¡°Okay, I can¡¯t interfere in this matter. You figure it out yourself,¡± Wang Long waved his hands. ¡°I can only say that if you want to recruit people, you have to put in more thought. You now know more information than others. When the actual combat results are submitted, the level of secrecy will increase. Okay, you can write the summary. I¡¯ll type the report, and let¡¯s get to work!¡± Chapter 28 - Enchanting Seals and Enchanting Tools! Chapter 28: Enchanting Seals and Enchanting Tools!In Anyang City First High School, Zhao Xing stretched and walked out of the lab. Peering downstairs, officers were still on patrol. Compared to prior days, not only had the crowd increased, but their numbers had swelled. ¡°Director Fang, why are there more people on duty downstairs? Is there a possibility of a dungeon cropping up near our school?¡± Fang Hong shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m not entirely sure. I¡¯m not privy to military matters.¡± The bigwigs from the Education Department departed yesterday. However, they didn¡¯t leave entirely. They dispatched individuals to monitor Anyang City First High School directly. Such a setup naturally fueled speculation. In response, the military and Education Department simply used the excuse of online speculation. ¡°There were suspicions of a new dungeon near the school,¡± and defensive measures needed reinforcement, and so forth. This rationale wasn¡¯t baseless. Presently, across the globe, new dungeons were still appearing randomly. A solitary space rift served as the entrance to these dungeons. However, the rate of spawn has dwindled in recent years. There were no more low-level dungeons. It wasn¡¯t like a few decades ago when there was almost an explosion of refreshes, causing a significant disaster for humanity. Fang Hong hesitated, ¡°Should I inquire with the officers on duty?¡± Zhao Xing noticed the hesitation and waved his hand, ¡°No need, I won¡¯t trouble you. I¡¯ll casually inquire.¡± In reality, Zhao Xing could infer some of it. Having signed a contract with the military, he should have received additional manpower to safeguard the equipment delivery. Indeed, with the completion of the initial real-world testing of the Ashes of Soul. The military had ramped up its protection. After Gao Feng and Wang Long submitted their summary report, the level of secrecy underwent multiple adjustments. By now, those who were already in the loop couldn¡¯t access subsequent test files. ¡°Director Fang, I¡¯ve already packed up a batch of equipment in the lab.¡± ¡°Please inform the Chu Long Army to collect it.¡± Zhao Xing had enchanted a batch of 50 pieces of purple equipment. Per the order, this first batch comprised entirely of weapons. This was because weapon bonuses were much more direct than those of defensive items. Wang Long would have preferred a complete set of defensive items and weapons. However, time was too tight, and special recruitment work began in less than a month. So, he could only prioritize weapons with clear bonuses. ¡°No problem, leave it to me.¡± Fang Hong hurriedly went to handle it. Casually strolling down the underground passage, Zhao Xing emerged from an exit unseen by anyone. He still relished the perks of free lead training. Guan Ya was still the one guiding him. Originally, the military had proposed pairing him with a more robust main battle professional squad. However, both Zhao Xing and Zhang Haiqiang rejected this request. Firstly, it was the Education Department¡¯s affair. How could Wang Long steal the credit? The Education Department could handle it, and Chu Long Army didn¡¯t need to worry. Zhao Xing¡¯s reason for declining was straightforward. First, it drew too much attention, and second, he had to consider the school¡¯s reputation. Elevating him was a credit. It didn¡¯t matter who did it, so why not entrust it to someone familiar? In any case, Guan Ya, a level 24, was more than sufficient for him, a level 15 Enchanter, at the moment. ¡°Sister Ya, you¡¯re putting in hard work again.¡± Guan Ya appeared to have changed her equipment once more today. Her purple garments and flowing staff highlighted a remarkably vibrant and colorful appearance. When she smiled, it seemed as if the entire office lit up. ¡°No, speaking of which, I should be thanking you. The school has equipped me with another set.¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t even get to experience this.¡± ¡°The Flowing Light set suits a water mage like me more than the Heavenly Armor set.¡± Purple Equipment was soul-bound, and there was no way to trade it to someone else. Of course, the binding strength of purple equipment wasn¡¯t as potent as the soul binding of king-grade equipment. Using specific items, it was possible to re-bind it. However, the benefits didn¡¯t outweigh the costs, so receiving purple equipment for free was a boon for Guan Ya. ¡°Let¡¯s not stand on ceremony. Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± ¡­ Level 20 dungeon, Silver Moon Cat Demon. The time was approaching evening, and at this point, Zhao Xing¡¯s level was already at 96% of level 16. He almost gained two levels. As the entrant¡¯s level gradually aligned with the dungeon¡¯s level, the experience gained increased significantly. Additionally, Zhao Xing had acquired some purple equipment to do. In his hand was a level 15 purple auto-pistol. Enchanted by Permanent, it lacked special effects but boasted attributes on par with a level 30 purple weapon. In other words, Zhao Xing himself could deliver a decent output. Of course, lacking main battle skill bonuses, the hit rate was relatively low, necessitating collaboration with Guan Ya to maintain control. To prevent Zhao Xing from becoming disinterested, Guan Ya willingly cooperated. However, after ten minutes, Zhao Xing gave up. It was, in fact, impeding Guan Ya¡¯s leveling speed. ¡°I¡¯d better take it easy.¡± ¡°Wait until I can learn some effective skills.¡± ¡°The branches of occupational knowledge are extensive. I could explore some cold occupational branches and acquire useful skills. ¡°Lying flat and leveling up is not engaging. It¡¯s so dull.¡± Zhao Xing pondered silently. Who wouldn¡¯t want to showcase their prowess? Lying flat was comfortable, but doing so all the time was also monotonous. Zhao Xing felt he needed to acquire some practical skills. His principle was: ¡°I can be unimportant, but I can¡¯t be useless.¡± S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When he reached level 17, today¡¯s dungeon practice concluded. Upon returning, Zhao Xing immersed himself in the sea of knowledge. Indeed, Enchanters possessed practical skills. For instance, at level 20, the main profession unlocked a skill called [Enchantment Seal]. The prerequisite knowledge was Elementary Energetics and Elementary Equipment Analysis. The effect was to seal the enchantment effects of all equipment within a certain range. This skill could be activated at will. Low-level dungeons weren¡¯t very useful due to the typically unenchanted equipment of low-level monsters, who generally lacked civilization and knowledge of enchantment. The weapons themselves lacked enchantment, but higher-level dungeons might prove useful. However, to enhance the power of main professional skills, one needed to delve into the knowledge of branch professions. Otherwise, the combat effectiveness remained weak. Zhao Xing navigated the sea of knowledge within the enchantment profession¡¯s many branches. He stumbled upon a vast and profound discipline: Possessed Magic Tool Study. Mastering this branch would enable him to create an Enchanter¡¯s Exclusive Device¡ªthe [Transmitter Jamming]. This device greatly enhanced the effect of the main profession skill [Possessed Seal] and offered various practical tools exclusive to Possessors. However, the Enchanter¡¯s role was primarily supportive, and few delved into studying Enchanting Tools. It consumed considerable time and energy and required accumulating enough attribute points. Picking up the shining book, Zhao Xing received a prompt: [You are unable to learn; this branch of the profession needs to be unlocked at level 20.] ¡°Level 20 isn¡¯t too far off. I wonder if I have enough basic attribute points,¡± mused Zhao Xing. The prerequisites hinted at the knowledge of elementary energy construction, elementary equipment parsing, energy transfer, primary material fusion, and primary material transformation¡ªa demanding set of requirements. The crafting process also consumed a substantial amount of materials. Most Enchanters might not explore this branch until reaching level 30. However, Zhao Xing¡¯s keen interest and his 100% success rate with his talent made it enticing. Combined with Enchanting Tools, it might yield unexpected effects. Turning to the skill [Enchantment Seal], it might not be appealing as an auxiliary. Yet, when combined with the exclusive equipment [Transmitter Jamming], the prospect of amplifying the effect several times seemed intriguing. ¡°When the conditions are met, I must try it out,¡± determined Zhao Xing. Setting aside the knowledge, he proceeded to the lab and began crafting the day¡¯s order. ¡­ Days passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, 10 days had elapsed. The topic of the Transcendent Academy¡¯s special recruitment gradually gained traction among the major factions in Anyang City. Chapter 29 - Surprised, the heads of the Transcendent Academies gathered in Nanhu Province! Chapter 29: Surprised, the heads of the Transcendent Academies gathered in Nanhu Province! ¡°Have you heard? The exclusive enrollment for this year at the Exceptional Academy has kicked off earlier than expected!¡± ¡°Oh, really?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true, and the initial stop was in our Nanhu Province. There are reports that several recruitment teams have already set up shop in Anyang City.¡± ¡°Even top-tier institutions like the First Military Academy, Star Academy, Bailian University, Beijing University, and others are part of it!¡± ¡°Seriously? Why are we in Anyang the first to be checked out?¡± ¡°No, I came across it on the internet.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go and verify it.¡± On the tree-lined path of the school, Zhao Xing observed as groups of students strolled by. Listening to their discussions, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit perplexed. ¡°Why so soon? Wasn¡¯t my hiatus only for 10 days?¡± ¡°Am I out of touch with what¡¯s happening?¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t the special enrollment supposed to start around 20 days later?¡± Ever since receiving the military order, Zhao Xing¡¯s routine had become quite monotonous. Laboratory building, dungeon, cafeteria. Occasionally, he skipped the cafeteria, and Fang Hong would simply pack and deliver the meals to him. As a result, Zhao Xing had minimal interaction with his classmates and rarely went online. After all, each additional piece of equipment meant an extra reward! sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He toiled hard to convince his parents to consider returning to their hometown to work and look after his younger brother. Currently, he had reached level 21, a rank that stood among the top echelons of the main combat professions. However, not many were aware of this fact. The Education Department had issued him a special badge to conceal his rank. Even teachers and duty officers found it challenging to ascertain his level. To maximize his earnings, he also cut down on leveling time. There was no choice. The military demands were substantial. Moreover, Zhang Haiqiang assured him that, with his talent, even if he entered the Exceptional Academy, the training benefits wouldn¡¯t be revoked. He wondered if such military orders would persist in the future. Leveling and the like could wait longer. ¡°I guess I need to pay attention to the special recruitment work to avoid missing out.¡± ¡°But the school should inform me, right?¡± ¡°I need to find an opportunity to inquire.¡± For now, Zhao Xing abandoned the idea of heading to the laboratory building and made his way to the cafeteria. He wasn¡¯t sure if it was sparked by news of the Transcendent Academy¡¯s recruitment, but the school was now buzzing with more students. They no longer huddled together for dungeon exploration. Based on past special recruit experiences, level wasn¡¯t the utmost priority. The depth of professional knowledge and skill proficiency took center stage in evaluations. Thus, the cafeteria was now lively, and the former grandeur had been restored. ¡°Hey, Zhao Xing, it¡¯s been a while.¡± Shortly after sitting down with his rice bowl, several classmates joined Zhao Xing at the table. Glancing up, he recognized them as a few girls from the same class. The one who greeted him was Chen Huimin, who specializes in the magic department. Given her lower level, Zhao Xing could easily tell that Chen Huimin was at level 14. ¡°Hey, Huimin, long time no see.¡± Zhao Xing smiled and exchanged greetings with each girl. ¡°Zhao Xing, what have you been up to lately?¡± Chen Huimin inquired. ¡°Why do I keep spotting you at the dungeon base?¡± ¡°Busy leveling,¡± Zhao Xing casually replied. ¡°Aren¡¯t you an enchanter?¡± Another freckled girl asked curiously. ¡°How do you handle monsters?¡± ¡°What if I told you the school took me? Would you believe it?¡± Zhao Xing shrugged. ¡°Come on. The school can guide people in practice?¡± Another person scoffed. ¡°The Education Department strictly forbids it. Outsiders can¡¯t enter the student-exclusive dungeon.¡± ¡°Other dungeon bases also verify identities. If they catch someone leading students to level up, they face severe penalties.¡± ¡°Not long ago, a company secretly took students from No. 13 Middle School for nighttime wilderness leveling and got fined and shut down.¡± Zhao Xing smiled, opting not to argue. Given his circumstances, nobody would believe him even if he spoke the truth. Avoiding dwelling too much on this topic, Zhao Xing casually asked, ¡°By the way, have you heard about the special recruitment by the Transcendent Academy?¡± ¡°Absolutely!¡± the freckled girl exclaimed. ¡°Word has it that the special recruitment was launched ahead of schedule, and they started in our Nanhu Province. I wonder if it¡¯s true.¡± ¡°I can confirm it¡¯s true,¡± Chen Huimin stated. ¡°My uncle, who works in the Education Department, shared that the task force has already settled in.¡± ¡°Several groups have arrived!¡± As soon as gossip like this surfaced, everyone became interested, and Zhao Xing also listened attentively. Classmates from the same class continued to join, eager to hear this firsthand news. Chen Huimin whispered mysteriously, ¡°Let me tell you, the Transcendent Academy¡¯s admissions team not only started in Nanhu Province but also decided to kick off their operations in Anyang City first!¡± A student with a sword on his back skeptically remarked, ¡°That¡¯s unlikely. There¡¯s no way Anyang City is the first batch; they must be ahead of schedule.¡± ¡°Really? Is Anyang City that prestigious now?¡± Chen Huimin asserted, ¡°Absolutely true. My uncle confirmed it, and it¡¯s a historic first.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that this time, the special recruitment will favor auxiliary occupations, and the criteria will be more lenient.¡± Some wondered, ¡°Auxiliary occupation?¡± ¡°Has the policy changed?¡± ¡°What does that have to do with our Nanhu Province? Auxiliary occupations are everywhere, right?¡± ¡°Who knows? Since it involves us, I can¡¯t afford to ignore it.¡± Listening to this, Zhao Xing felt a slight stir in his heart. Could this have something to do with me? Seeing Zhao Xing staying quiet, Chen Huimin promptly inquired, ¡°Zhao Xing, you¡¯ve been close to Sister Ya lately. Have you learned any insider information?¡± Shaking his head, Zhao Xing replied, ¡°No, Sister Ya just took me to level up, and she hasn¡¯t mentioned this to me.¡± The student with the sword on his back grinned, ¡°Sister, Ya taking you to level up? Hahaha, you¡¯re quite the storyteller.¡± ¡°Are you going to claim you¡¯re her bodyguard too?¡± Zhao Xing nodded, ¡°You guessed it right.¡± Seeing Zhao Xing boasting, the student with the sword on his back playfully said, ¡°If you can be my bodyguard, I, Yang Jian, will personally call you ¡®Dad and Son Bureau.¡¯ What do you say?¡± Zhao Xing smiled, didn¡¯t dwell on it, and left with his tray. They were all classmates, and the banter was harmless. He didn¡¯t take it to heart and certainly didn¡¯t want to embarrass Yang Jian intentionally. After finishing his meal, he immersed himself in the laboratory. He didn¡¯t get too caught up in the delivery matter either. His talent had already been proven, and if they genuinely recommended him, the process would kick off. Presumably, the school would reach out to him. He just wasn¡¯t sure which Transcendent Academy might be interested. Regardless, it had to be a top-notch Transcendent Academy. ¡°Enchanting tools can be mastered with just a bit of skill proficiency.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s give it our all today!¡± Wearing the Scholar¡¯s Hat, Zhao Xing started enchanting with unwavering focus. ¡­ Simultaneously, at the Nanhu Provincial Department of Education. In the conference hall outside the minister¡¯s office. Several key figures were seated there, representing Transcendent Academies from all over the country, responsible for the recruitment effort. Their levels were impressive, with the person in charge being at least level 60 or higher. At this moment, these individuals were in and out, lining up to visit Zhang Haiqiang¡¯s office. Upon seeing Zhang Haiqiang, they started clamoring. ¡°I rushed here without any explanation, and there¡¯s only a single name.¡± ¡°What¡¯s so special about this enchanter?¡± ¡°Not only is he in the first batch, but all the files are classified. The leader even issued a directive insisting that I recruit him.¡± ¡°Minister Zhang, what¡¯s the deal with Zhao Xing? Can you shed some light on it?¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have any information. The recruitment process for Bailian University is difficult to initiate.¡± Zhang Haiqiang couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit frustrated. Ever since the practical results of Ashes of Soul were reported, the state elevated the confidentiality level for Zhao Xing. Except for basic details like birthplace, name, and age, no other information was disclosed. The records of entering the dungeon base, enchanting activities, achievements, and the like were all missing. This kind of information gap was tricky. Yet, Zhao Xing happened to be included in the first batch of the special recruitment list. Furthermore, the leaders of their respective Transcendent Academies likely had some insight and issued orders to recruit him. This led to a peculiar situation: The head of the admissions team had limited authority and was in the dark about the situation. However, higher-ups were paying keen attention. The information was similar to the word ¡®restricted.¡¯ With no alternative, they had to keep a close eye on the Minister of Education and pester him. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Don¡¯t ask me,¡± Zhang Haiqiang said helplessly. ¡°I¡¯ll show you everything you¡¯re allowed to see, and don¡¯t even think about accessing classified information.¡± ¡°I understand everything I¡¯m aware of regarding this matter. If you keep pushing for more details, I might make mistakes.¡± ¡°My suggestion is for you to go down and investigate personally.¡± Chapter 30 - The Battle of the Transcendent Academies! Chapter 30: The Battle of the Transcendent Academies! The admissions teams from over a dozen elite Transcendent Academies made their appearance in Nanhu Province, and the news quickly became public knowledge, sparking surprise among many. While it wasn¡¯t unusual for the recruitment to start ahead of schedule in previous years, it was the first time they chose Nanhu Province as their initial stop. For most Transcendent Academies, the first destination was Anyang City. Notably, five schools placed Anyang No. 1 High School in a prime inspection position. These were prestigious institutions, including Beijing Academy, Magic and Martial Arts Academy, Bailian University, Xingchen Academy, and the First Military Academy. The news caused a sensation when it reached the school, prompting excited reactions: ¡°Wow! Beijing Academy, Magic and Martial Arts Academy, Bailian University, Xingchen Academy, and the First Military Academy are coming to our school!¡± ¡°These are top-notch Transcendent Academies! Why are they coming to our school?¡± ¡°In previous years, at most one Transcendent Academy visited, but why so many this year?¡± ¡°If I get selected, I¡¯m willing to let my roommate stay single for ten years!¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing to let my roommate stay single forever!¡± ¡°Wow, what a fortunate roommate upstairs!¡± In the Era of Transcendents, these academies shouldered crucial responsibilities like guarding dungeons, enhancing the professional knowledge system, and direct participation in battles. Their revered status among students made their alma mater¡¯s visit a thrilling event. Even if not chosen, being considered was an honor, and the excitement led everyone to abandon dungeon exploration and rush to school. At the school gate, Yang Tianming¡¯s face glowed with joy, reveling in the unique accomplishment during his tenure. The arrival of five prestigious academies was unprecedented, and the prospect of recruiting at least one student added to his satisfaction. As people passed by, Yang Tianming enthusiastically greeted them: ¡°Hey, how did you know five prestigious academies are inspecting our school?¡± The passing uncle looked puzzled, ¡°???¡± Without waiting for a response, Yang Tianming engaged with the next passerby. A vehicle pulled up, and reporters and cameramen disembarked: ¡°Hey, from the TV station, how did you know our school got inspected by five famous academies?¡± The female reporter was bewildered, given the evident banner and the school¡¯s prior notification. Ignoring her confusion, Yang Tianming invited them to a nearby guard box, insisting on a comfortable interview location. In the office, Zhao Xing and Guan Ya discussed the situation: ¡°This is the current situation. It was informed from above that five renowned academies will visit our school. They are Beijing Academy, Magic and Martial Arts Academy, Bailian Academy, Xingchen Academy, and the First Military Academy. Minister Zhang mentioned it¡¯s all for you.¡± Zhao Xing expressed surprise: The five prestigious academies are here for me? Can I choose among them? Guan Ya added, ¡°Minister Zhang also mentioned that besides these, over a dozen Transcendent Academies are waiting. However, if you opt for the top five academies, the others might not come.¡± Zhao Xing felt a surge of excitement at that moment. ¡°Sister Ya, could you offer me some guidance?¡± Zhao Xing was feeling conflicted, unsure of which path to take. Guan Ya grinned and replied, ¡°Each of these five families has its strengths.¡± ¡°Beijing Academy and Magic and Martial Arts Academy boast a rich history. The Martial Arts Department is particularly formidable and has secured the most resources.¡± ¡°Bailian Academy features a comprehensive professional training system, excelling in the ability department.¡± ¡°Star Academy leads in cutting-edge mechanical knowledge.¡± ¡°The No. 1 military academy excels in combat effectiveness, emphasizing practical combat in their training methods.¡± Guan Ya succinctly highlighted the advantages of each university. ¡°It doesn¡¯t mean their other aspects are lacking,¡± she added. ¡°Just that compared to the top-tier, they might not measure up in certain areas.¡± ¡°As an enchanter, you have the flexibility to choose any school.¡± ¡°It ultimately depends on your preferences.¡± Guan Ya suggested, ¡°Given I¡¯m not sure about the admissions team¡¯s offers, consider carefully.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll definitely think it over,¡± Zhao Xing said, rubbing his hands. He was brimming with excitement, anticipating what conditions the others might present. ¡­ In the conference hall, Yang Tianming had already welcomed the admissions teams from the five prestigious academies. Gao Feng, carrying the Ashes of Soul, was among them. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Initially, Yang Tianming intended to engage in polite exchanges with the leaders. However, the heads of the five academies had already gathered all the information they could from the Education Department. Presumably, the headmaster couldn¡¯t share any useful details. So, what was the point of being courteous? The urgency was to meet Zhao Xing as soon as possible before commencing negotiations. The other transcendent academies refrained from joining the first batch, aware they couldn¡¯t compete. But if something went awry, intervention might be necessary. ¡°Principal Yang, we can discuss your school¡¯s situation later.¡± ¡°Could you bring Zhao Xing here for an introduction?¡± Yang Tianming promptly responded, ¡°Sure, everyone, please wait a moment.¡± Soon after, Zhao Xing entered the conference room with Guan Ya. ¡°Zhao Xing is here. Let me introduce you. These five are the tutors from the admissions teams of the Transcendent Academies. Let me introduce you to each one. These prestigious schools boast a long history¡­¡± Noticing Yang Tianming was about to deliver a slew of clich¨¦s, one of the elderly men couldn¡¯t tolerate it any longer. He directly interrupted Yang Tianming and forcefully introduced himself, ¡°Hi, student Zhao. I¡¯m Wang Min, the admissions tutor from Xingchen Academy.¡± ¡°Xingchen Academy possesses the most advanced mecha research equipment. It offers numerous practical mecha classes every year, featuring the most powerful mecha on this planet, the ¡®Kang Qiong¡¯!¡± ¡°If you aspire to soar through the sky and traverse the universe before becoming transcendent, Xingchen Academy is your optimal choice!¡± ¡°Mecha?¡± Zhao Xing was slightly surprised. A sleek mecha soaring through the sky was virtually every teenager¡¯s dream. And a mecha could amplify strength many times over. However, the requirements for mecha usage were stringent and didn¡¯t align with specific professions. Only the defensive and flight functions of the mecha were usable. ¡°And that¡¯s not all. Once you join Xingchen Academy, all tuition fees are waived, and we provide all resources to help you reach the transcendent stage!¡± ¡°In essence, whatever you desire, we will provide!¡± ¡°Getting a mecha just for fun is no issue!¡± Wang Min, the admissions tutor, exuded enthusiasm, and his words were compelling. His delivery was concise and impactful. Right from the start, he dropped a bombshell, mentioning giving mechas! This surprised both Yang Tianming and Guan Ya. The other four leaders listened intently. Observing Zhao Xing¡¯s expression, they couldn¡¯t remain indifferent. ¡°Hold on! Let me interject!¡± A more assertive voice cut off Wang Min¡¯s spiel. ¡°Director Wang! Spare us the talk about interstellar travel!¡± ¡°Kang Qiong is fine, but what level is it? Not to mention Zhao, even your school¡¯s mechanics, how many can operate it?¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s talk about the other mechas. Can the mechas your school provides for student practice enable an auxiliary professional to fly to 5,000 meters without mechanical assistance?¡± ¡°Talking about space travel, really! You¡¯re so incredible that you¡¯ve soared out of the atmosphere!¡± Wang Min glared at the Martial Arts Department Transcendent, who was interjecting, ¡°Nie Shan, you¡¯re just an outsider! What do you understand!¡± Nie Shan held his ground, ¡°Come on, enlighten me then!¡± Tension filled the air. Guan Ya and Yang Tianming were dumbfounded. It wasn¡¯t until the Transcendent Academies started competing with each other that things became heated. They truly learned a lot! Chapter 31 - Brother, Let this Kid Come to the Military Academy! Chapter 31: Brother, Let this Kid Come to the Military Academy!¡°When it comes to providing resources for free to the extraordinary, Xingchen Academy has got them. Does that imply our Magic and Martial Arts Academy lacks them?¡± ¡°Listen, Student Zhao. Our Magic and Martial Arts Academy is even more well-stocked when it comes to resources!¡± ¡°We boast the most formidable magician and warrior in the nation!¡± Nie Shan and Wang Min were passionately debating. Initially, the other three factions were just spectators, but Nie Shan¡¯s words irked the head of Beijing Academy. ¡°Nie Shan, what are you implying?!¡± ¡°Since when did the strongest martial artist hail from your Magic and Martial Arts Academy?¡± ¡°That distinction clearly belongs to our Beijing Academy!¡± Lu Yuanwei, in charge of Beijing Academy, immediately jumped into the fray. The three of them engaged in a spirited exchange, hurling insults at each other, leaving Zhao Xing bewildered. As he stood there in confusion, someone gently tapped his shoulder. Zhao Xing turned around to see the admissions officer from Bailian Academy. ¡°Zhao Xing, I¡¯m Zeng Yiming, the admissions officer from Bailian Academy. Consider joining our Bailian Academy!¡± ¡°As an Enchanter, we offer more extensive professional branches to cater to your needs.¡± ¡°For instance, at level 30, you¡¯ll unlock the enchanting of skills, requiring collaboration with various professionals to demonstrate and enhance your skills.¡± ¡°When it comes to diverse professions, Bailian Academy is the top choice.¡± ¡°Are you familiar with our school¡¯s history? It¡¯s the amalgamation of numerous schools with different professions.¡± ¡°Setting aside everything else, if you seek practice partners, where else could be more convenient than Bailian Academy?¡± Zhao Xing nodded in agreement. Upon reaching level 30, Enchanters unlock enchanting skills, requiring collaboration with various professions. This was essential knowledge within their primary professional tree to enhance their proficiency. Enchanting skills stood out as one of the Enchanter¡¯s core abilities. As Zeng Yiming elucidated, Wang Min, Nie Shan, and Lu Yuanwei ceased their arguments. They didn¡¯t want Zeng Yiming to gain an advantage. ¡°Bailian Academy offers comprehensive professions, but is it truly that challenging for us to find people?¡± ¡°Old Zeng, don¡¯t attempt to mislead us. You make it sound like we¡¯re incapable.¡± ¡°Be clear about it. How is it not misleading?!¡± Consequently, Zeng Yiming also joined the melee. Seeing these four individuals so enthusiastic, Zhao Xing suddenly felt overwhelmed. He had no clue whom to trust. The only one abstaining from the argument was Gao Feng, the representative of the top military academy. He knew that arguing at this point would be futile. Ultimately, it would come down to who could provide the most resources. The one who could captivate Zhao Xing first and secure his enrollment commitment ¨C that was what truly mattered. Gao Feng had a better understanding of Zhao Xing compared to the other four. Witnessing Zhao Xing¡¯s troubled expression, Gao Feng promptly intervened to diffuse the situation. ¡°Zhao Xing, I believe you need some time to rest and carefully think this over. Everyone, let¡¯s halt the argument for now to avoid causing distress to Zhao Xing. President Yang and others have prepared a considerable amount of work for us. How about we all take a break?¡± With Gao Feng¡¯s intervention, the other four also ceased their arguments. Continuing the debate in this manner would yield no positive outcomes. ¡°Your words are indeed correct. We shouldn¡¯t exert too much pressure on Zhao Xing. If it becomes overwhelming, it may have a counterproductive effect,¡± remarked one of the responsible individuals. The four immediately began considering adjusting their strategy ¨C first, make a positive impression, then regroup. They were all persistent in winning this competition. ¡°Gao Feng is right, Zhao, don¡¯t feel pressured.¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s time to take a break.¡± ¡°Principal Yang, we¡¯ll leave it to you then.¡± The atmosphere lightened, and Yang Tianming put on a reassuring smile. Guan Ya led Zhao Xing out, and both breathed a sigh of relief. Guan Ya patted her chest and said, ¡°Wow, so many influential figures, all above Level 65, and they¡¯re all vying for you. When I saw that scene, I was afraid they would start fighting.¡± S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Xing felt a bit helpless but also proud. The fiercer the competition, the higher his value. ¡°You probably won¡¯t agree right away, will you? Do you have any inclinations?¡± asked Guan Ya. ¡°No, not yet,¡± Zhao Xing shook his head. ¡°For such a significant matter, I have to discuss it with my family.¡± While his family couldn¡¯t make decisions, in a moment of glory like this, he wanted to share it with them. ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s true.¡± ¡°So, where are your uncle and aunt now?¡± ¡°They left in the morning, and they should arrive today. I don¡¯t know if the express train has any delays,¡± Zhao Xing pondered. ¡°Sister Ya, I won¡¯t stay at school for now. I¡¯ll go home first and take my younger brother to pick up Mom and Dad.¡± Guan Ya asked, ¡°Do you want me to accompany you? If your parents have any questions, having a teacher from the school to answer them can save a lot of trouble.¡± Zhao Xing smiled and said, ¡°Sister Ya, you¡¯re always considerate. Okay, that would be great.¡± ¡­ Guan Ya and Zhao Xing had just descended the stairs when they spotted a military vehicle stationed in front of them. Gao Feng lowered the window and greeted them, ¡°Are you both heading to the train station? I can give you a lift.¡± ¡°No need, Teacher Gao Feng, we can manage on our own.¡± Gao Feng warmly insisted, ¡°Come on, Zhao Xing, I have some free time, and my vehicle can enter the station directly without any hassle. It¡¯ll save you a lot of trouble.¡± Unable to resist his genuine offer, Zhao Xing and Guan Ya accepted the ride. In the lounge, Yuanwei, the Beijing Academy¡¯s person in charge, was engaged in a phone call. His assistant rushed over. ¡°Director, Director, Zhao Xing got into Gao Feng¡¯s car!¡± ¡°What? Why did that happen?¡± Lu Yuanwei promptly stood up, ending the call, ¡°I¡¯ll look into this immediately!¡± Gao Feng couldn¡¯t access Zhao Xing¡¯s file directly, but he opted for an indirect strategy. Knowing that Zhao Ruimin had military experience, he chose to play the emotional card. Well-prepared, he promptly picked up Zhao Xing¡¯s parents upon learning of their return. However, he wasn¡¯t the only one moving quickly. Lu Yuanwei, in charge of the Beijing Academy, swiftly caught wind of the situation. ¡°You crafty youngster didn¡¯t expect you, with your bold moves, to employ underhanded tactics! Luckily, I had someone tailing you. Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll discreetly set off!¡± ¡°Director, should we also head to the station?¡± ¡°Fool, it¡¯s too late for the station. Of course, we¡¯re heading to his residence!¡± In Anyang City, at a star hotel, Zhao Ruimin and Qin Yulian were already being treated to dinner by Gao Feng. The esteemed 65-level transcendent powerhouse was extending hospitality to them. It wouldn¡¯t be right not to acknowledge this gesture, given their status. Plus, their parents had given their approval. So, instead of going home directly, they opted for the hotel first. Confirming the authenticity of the recommendation news, Zhao Ruimin and Qin Yulian were excited. Gao Feng¡¯s military background immediately gained Zhao Ruimin¡¯s favor. ¡°Brother, let me tell you, Zhao Xing¡¯s situation is genuinely impressive.¡± ¡°Brother, you¡¯ve raised him well!¡± ¡°With his performance, he¡¯ll undoubtedly contribute significantly to the country in the future.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve raised a commendable son. Let me toast to you first!¡± Under Gao Feng¡¯s praise, Zhao Ruimin also felt a sense of pride. ¡°We haven¡¯t paid much attention to him anywhere. It¡¯s Xing¡¯er who fought for himself.¡± ¡°But a toast is well-deserved. Here¡¯s to him!¡± Gao Feng, putting a hand on Zhao Ruimin¡¯s shoulder, said sincerely, ¡°Look, now is a critical moment for him.¡± ¡°Though talent is crucial, choosing the right path is equally important, right?¡± ¡°From your perspective, brother, what school surpasses our No. 1 Military Academy?¡± Shaking his head, Zhao Ruimin replied, ¡°Nowhere! It¡¯s undoubtedly the top choice!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, graduates from the First Military Academy become officers.¡± ¡°With military backing, one can thrive anywhere.¡± ¡°Brother, do you agree with this reasoning?!¡± Zhao Ruimin nodded, ¡°Yes, absolutely!¡± Seeing a positive atmosphere, Gao Feng continued, ¡°Brother, have your child enroll in the First Military Academy.¡± ¡°With me overseeing, I guarantee he¡¯ll receive the best training, and no one will dare to bully him!¡± The two of them linked arms, exchanging toasts, creating a brotherly atmosphere. Zhao Xing and Guan Ya were left bewildered. Gao Feng didn¡¯t engage in conflict during the meeting, but now he displayed exceptional skill in handling things. Observing their camaraderie, anyone unaware would think they were long-lost brothers! Chapter 32 - Dont worry, lets listen to what Beijing Academy has to say! Chapter 32: Don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s listen to what Beijing Academy has to say! Zhao Ruimin was so shocked by Gao Feng that he felt like marrying him right away. ¡°Brother, brother, let¡¯s not dwell on it. A good man has a good youth. It¡¯s time to serve the country! Come on, bring out that contract.¡± Gao Feng happily held Zhao Ruimin¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Brother, it¡¯s a letter of intent to enroll!¡± Zhao Ruimin playfully stuck out his tongue and remarked, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. Let our kids sign it now!¡± This suggestion made Zhao Xing uneasy. Yet, as long as his father was happy, other considerations could take a back seat. However, signing the letter of intent wasn¡¯t something Zhao Xing could agree to hastily. Seeking assistance, he turned to his mother. Though Qin Yulian didn¡¯t fully grasp the intricacies of the situation, she understood her son and swiftly caught on. ¡°Old Zhao, you¡¯ve had a bit too much to drink. Come on, let me help you to the bathroom.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not drunk! Who said I was drunk?!¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Qin Yulian raised her eyebrows and promptly pinched her husband¡¯s waist. ¡°¡± This unique skill swiftly sobered Zhao Ruimin. ¡°Hahaha, brother, I¡¯ll head to the bathroom first.¡± Watching his parents leave for the bathroom, Zhao Xing quickly said, ¡°Mr. Gao, I¡¯ll go and check the situation too. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Seeing this, Gao Feng nodded with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± In the bathroom, Qin Yulian scolded Zhao Ruimin for agreeing to such a significant matter without consulting their child. ¡°For such a big matter, our child didn¡¯t even get a say, and you agreed to it all. How could you? After a bit of drinking, you don¡¯t even remember your last name. Zhao Ruimin, do you want to court disaster?¡± At the dinner table, Zhao Ruimin spoke grandiosely, but facing his wife, he was meek, nodding and smiling. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°People aren¡¯t so courteous. You¡¯re just inviting trouble! You can¡¯t sign the letter of intent right now.¡± ¡°Well, my wife is right.¡± Zhao Xing smiled and didn¡¯t say anything more. His mother had already handled it, so there was no need for further persuasion. He returned to the box. Seeing Zhao Xing return with a quick smile, Gao Feng understood that Zhao Xing¡¯s opinion mattered in this matter. So he engaged in a sincere conversation with Zhao Xing. ¡°Zhao Xing, honestly, it would be best if you join the First Military Academy. The military has better resources and connections than other prestigious academies. I know more about you than they do. Your level of secrecy has been elevated, and they don¡¯t even understand your true value. Moreover, you know the Ashes of Soul are in my possession. If you enter the First Military Academy, I, Gao Feng, will do everything I can to support you!¡± Facing Gao Feng¡¯s sincerity, Zhao Xing was moved. He also expressed his concerns candidly. ¡°Director Gao, I appreciate your intentions. It¡¯s genuinely exciting. However, the military isn¡¯t a place where one can come and go freely. There will likely be orders in the future that I have to follow, potentially putting you in a difficult position. Please allow me a few days to think it over. Gao Feng wanted to say more, but at that moment, Zhao Ruimin and Qin Yulian entered, discussing settling the bill. Gao Feng couldn¡¯t let them do it. If Zhao Xing¡¯s parents paid, his efforts would be in vain. After a prolonged back-and-forth, Gao Feng ended up treating them to a meal. After dinner, when they returned home, it was already night. Gao Feng saw the family upstairs and then accompanied Guan Ya back. Upon entering the house, younger brother Zhao Ming, excited to see his parents, soon broke into tears while chatting. ¡°Wow, Mom and Dad, brother, is there anyone like you?! You go to a fancy meal, and you don¡¯t take me with you! It seems there¡¯s no room for my fiery talents in this family!¡± Zhao Xing touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed for forgetting his younger brother. ¡°Xiao Ming, I promise to take you with me next time!¡± ¡°, you did it on purpose! Tomorrow, I¡¯ll take my parents and not you!¡± ¡°Where do you want to go? Are you still causing trouble?!¡± Zhao Xing playfully grabbed his brother¡¯s neck and shook it. Laughter filled the room as the two brothers enjoyed their time together. ¡­ For three consecutive days, the admissions officers from the five esteemed academies exerted their utmost efforts to win over Zhao Xing. Gao Feng relied on emotional tactics, urging Zhao Ruimin to join him at the nearby night snack stand during idle moments. However, despite Gao Feng¡¯s efforts, Zhao Ruimin, persuaded by his wife, could only offer words of encouragement without making a decisive choice. The head of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy, Nie Hai, approached Principal Yang Tianming, while Lu Yuanwei, representing the Beijing Academy, directly approached Guan Ya. Both parties sought to gather more information about Zhao Xing, hoping to use their influence to sway him. Wang Min from Xingchen Academy took a more assertive approach. At noon that day, he directly called Zhao Xing¡¯s home, identifying himself as the admissions teacher of Xingchen Academy. Wang Min explained that Zhao Xing had passed the special recruitment process, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. He pressed Zhao Xing¡¯s family to act promptly, highlighting the limited quota for the Extraordinary Academy¡¯s special recruitment. Listening nearby, Zhao Xing couldn¡¯t help but find the situation amusing. Despite the apparent urgency, Wang Min¡¯s approach seemed somewhat pushy, as if reluctant to reach the threshold of this special recruitment. Zhao Xing comforted his mother, saying, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s hear what Beijing Academy has to say.¡± Qin Yulian quickly apologized and hung up the phone. The Xingchen Academy instructor on the other end regretfully hung up the phone. Wang Min, feeling puzzled, remarked, ¡°Director, don¡¯t be fooled. What¡¯s going on?¡± Zhao Xing was aware of his value and had received guidance from someone higher up. The higher-ups seemed to be privy to certain information, but the admissions tutors were left in the dark. With no authority to inquire, they could only attempt to recruit Zhao Xing, an impossible task. Wang Min expressed his bewilderment, ¡°After so many years of recruiting work, I have never seen such a situation. Even my boss can¡¯t find out the details. I really saw a ghost.¡± His subordinate asked, ¡°Director, what should we do now?¡± Wang Min waved his hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s no other way. We can only reveal our cards. Come to the door to discuss the specific conditions.¡± The talent in question had surpassed their expectations. The current scenario wasn¡¯t about enticing candidates to join. Instead, they found themselves in a position where they had to plead for acceptance. The prestige of the academies had diminished, requiring an improvement in competition conditions. In essence, they had to offer more. The resources offered by the five esteemed academies were similar, and the quality of teachers was comparable. The deciding factor now lay in who could offer more. The other three academies explored the situation over a few days and, discovering the same trend, came knocking one after another, each increasing their stakes. They took turns, one person each day, for twelve days. Bailian Academy took the lead in withdrawing from the talent competition in the first round, reluctantly conceding. Zeng Yiming lacked the authority to invest significant resources in support of an enchanter. The shorter establishment time of Bailian Academy, coupled with a broad range of occupations, meant increased resource allocation per occupation, making it challenging to rely heavily on auxiliary fields. Seeing the determination of leaders from other transcendent academies, they had no choice but to withdraw. In the second round, Wang Min, in charge of Xingchen Academy, also decided to withdraw, sharing similar concerns. After three rounds, the First Military Academy, Beijing Academy, and Magic and Martial Arts Academy revealed their cards, presenting the best conditions they could offer to Zhao Xing. As Zhao Xing looked at the three enrollment agreements before him, after careful consideration, he finally made a decision. Chapter 33 - Damn, what he said is true! Chapter 33: Damn, what he said is true!¡°Among the three agreements, the substantial support in terms of resources appears to be quite comparable.¡± ¡°It encompasses improvements in levels, knowledge for career advancement, material subsidies, and guidance from renowned instructors.¡± Principal Yang Tianming, too, gazed at these three agreements with amazement. After serving as the principal for many years, this was the first instance he learned that a prestigious academy could provide such favorable conditions. Despite the emotions involved, he still believed that Zhao Xing deserved these conditions. Guan Ya, also present in the office, shared her viewpoint. ¡°Given the similar conditions, we must now consider the strengths of the three prestigious academies.¡± ¡°The First Military Academy offers more opportunities for real combat, and its resources surpass those of the other two institutions.¡± ¡°The Magic and Martial Arts Academy excels in its magic and martial arts departments, possessing the capability to create extensive dungeons independently.¡± ¡°The Beijing Academy¡¯s five major systems excel in balance. In recent years, it has concentrated on cultivating less popular occupations. The Psychic Department and the Ability Department have produced numerous talents, and the number of auxiliary occupations has surpassed the other two.¡± After their statements, both of them turned their attention to Zhao Xing. With all the cards laid out over the past few days, it was now time for Zhao Xing to make a decision. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After careful contemplation, Zhao Xing expressed his choice: ¡°Let¡¯s go meet the representative of Beijing Academy.¡± ¡°Have you made up your mind?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The rationale for declining the First Military Academy remained the same. The military environment did not align with his desire for freedom of movement. He had always remembered what Minister of Education Zhang Haiqiang had conveyed to him. Zhao Xing didn¡¯t wish to be confined. Despite Gao Feng¡¯s reassurances, uncertainties remained. Military-style management was characterized by a specific atmosphere and regulations. Could they make exceptions for him? Wouldn¡¯t that be embarrassing for others? To avoid embarrassing others, he would have to embarrass himself. While cooperation was acceptable, joining was a different matter. So, he had to decline. Moreover, if he changed his mind and wished to join the army in the future, it wouldn¡¯t be challenging. During his advanced studies at the Transcendent Academy, Zhao Xing preferred not to be overly constrained, allowing him to devote more energy to studying professional knowledge. He chose Beijing University because of its recent emphasis on auxiliary professions and a more balanced system compared to the Magic and Martial Arts Academy. This slight advantage ultimately influenced Zhao Xing¡¯s decision. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Zhao Xing, welcome to Beijing University.¡± ¡°The initial 5 million student aid funds will be transferred to your account within half an hour. Furthermore, when you come to the school for reporting, we will arrange for someone to pick you up.¡± ¡°Preparation of leveling and enchanting materials will be handled in advance, so you need not worry about it.¡± ¡°As for your mentor, a list will be provided after consultation with higher-ups for you to choose from.¡± Lu Yuanwei, the representative of Beijing Academy, grinned as he watched Zhao Xing sign the agreement. Upon signing, he received news from the higher-ups. After signing a non-disclosure agreement, he gained preliminary knowledge of some of Zhao Xing¡¯s information. Based on the limited information he possessed, Lu Yuanwei realized that he had made a significant contribution this time. Beijing Academy was sure to benefit immensely! In recent years, the academy had started focusing more on auxiliary occupations, and he understood the impact a powerful enchanter could have. Recruiting Zhao Xing would undoubtedly yield substantial rewards in the future!! ¡°Thank you, Director Lu,¡± Zhao Xing expressed, exhaling a sigh of relief. It was finally settled. Over these days, he had postponed many things, and even the military orders had been delayed. He lacked time to delve into the knowledge of his professional branch. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll head to the laboratory first,¡± Lu Yuanwei informed. ¡°Just coordinate with the principal and Minister Zhang,¡± Zhao Xing replied. ¡°Whenever you need me, I¡¯ll cooperate.¡± Publicizing the school¡¯s talented individuals recommended to Beijing Academy was inevitable. Of course, Zhao Xing wasn¡¯t concerned about how to manage publicity while adhering to confidentiality regulations. He believed the authorities would handle it judiciously. Zhao Xing had no intention of revealing his talent to anyone. Not even his parents and younger brother knew the specifics of his abilities. ¡°Okay, Director Lu, don¡¯t worry. Our school will certainly not trouble Student Zhao,¡± Principal Yang Tianming assured with a smile. ¡°Oh, by the way, Principal, can I still use the laboratory before graduation?¡± Zhao Xing inquired. ¡°Of course,¡± Yang Tianming asserted. ¡°Student Zhao, you can use it whenever you want.¡± ¡°Thanks.¡± ¡­ With the 2 million subsidy from the Education Department and the 5 million from Beijing Academy, Zhao Xing now held a substantial sum of 8 million yuan. Once the military order was fulfilled, his funds would surpass the tens of millions mark. With such wealth, he had no intention of letting it stagnate in Cary. Zhao Xing immediately thought of improving his family¡¯s situation. ¡°Parents, avoid traveling to other provinces in the future. My younger brother will start high school soon. Minister Zhang mentioned that he can arrange for you to work at the logistics base there.¡± ¡°Our current home is too small for our family of four.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll hand over the 5 million to you, and the entire amount will be used to buy a larger house first.¡± After the family discussion, Zhao Ruimin and his wife began searching for a new home. Meanwhile, Zhao Xing continued spending his days in the laboratory. Due to some previous delays, he aimed to catch up with Chu Longjun¡¯s order. To make progress, Zhao Xing decided to dedicate his time to the laboratory at the No. 1 High School in Anyang City. [, you have maintained a high degree of concentration for 26 hours in a row, superimposed fatigue recovery weakening effect.].[Weakened recovery from fatigue: The effects of recovery treasures will be weakened. (Including equipment, potions, and treasures.)].[This state will continue to worsen over time until it is completely invalid. Please pay attention to rest!]. ¡°Hey, have I hit the limit? I¡¯m still full of energy.¡± Zhao Xing checked the reminder. Having stayed up for a day and a night, he felt completely tireless. With the Hat of the Scholar restored, his current physical and mental strength was in good condition. Yet, a closer look at the panel revealed some differences. The recovery effect had weakened. ¡°They say that if you¡¯ve reached the transcendent level or above, staying up all night for a month straight won¡¯t put you in this state.¡± ¡°It appears my energy level is still too low, and my body¡¯s limits follow certain rules.¡± Blue Star was semi-gamified, and many displayed elements adhered to real-world rules and inertia. When tired, sleep was necessary, and hunger required eating. While equipment, dungeon treasures, and such could delay these needs, they couldn¡¯t be completely eliminated. Human physiological limits still existed, but they had greatly improved compared to before. ¡°It¡¯s already morning, so let¡¯s have a meal first.¡± ¡°Then take a short rest.¡± Zhao Xing stretched, emerging from a pile of purple equipment. The disorderly stacks didn¡¯t bother him. A simple greeting to Fang Hong outside the door would prompt someone to organize them. ¡­ The morning cafeteria had few patrons. The prestigious academy¡¯s admissions team had yet to depart, keeping the school bustling. As Zhao Xing sat down with his rice bowl, he encountered classmates Yang Jian and Chen Huimin. ¡°Morning, Zhao Xing,¡± greeted Chen Huimin. ¡°Morning, Huimin.¡± ¡°Hey, have you heard the news?¡± ¡°It seems the admissions team has finalized a quota.¡± ¡°Somebody from our school got escorted!¡± As soon as Chen Huimin sat down, she dove into gossip. Predictably, this type of news garnered the most attention. Her words immediately drew many listeners. ¡°Who is it? Tell me, who¡¯s the fortunate one?¡± Chen Huimin seemed to relish the attention. She set down her chopsticks, cleared her throat, and shared, ¡°It seems to be Lin Weiwei, our school¡¯s standout.¡± ¡°Her? So it¡¯s her.¡± Everyone couldn¡¯t help but express surprise. Lin Weiwei had been a notable figure since entering the school, boasting a privileged background and obtaining purple equipment early on. Her progress in professional branch knowledge was swift, making her an exemplary academic achiever. ¡°It¡¯s said Lin Weiwei reached level 20 at the beginning of the year.¡± ¡°Since then, she¡¯s been delving into unlocking career branch skills.¡± ¡°As a contract envoy in the magic system, she can control not only strange beasts but also unlock the less popular [Plant Contract] branch.¡± Chen Huimin said enviously, ¡°She¡¯s practically heaven¡¯s favored child, with a good family and a strong work ethic.¡± Another girl added enviously, ¡°If only my dad were a well-known wealthy businessman in Anyang City, I wouldn¡¯t work so hard. I¡¯d just wait to inherit the family business.¡± ¡°She worked hard on leveling and even stayed up all night studying professional branch knowledge!¡± ¡°No way, staying up late is so glamorous! It¡¯s infuriating!¡± Zhao Xing, not knowing much about Lin Weiwei, merely listened to the discussion without participating. At this point, Yang Jian nudged Zhao Xing and teased, ¡°Hey, Zhao Xing, didn¡¯t you claim you¡¯d be recommended for admission a while ago? So, which prestigious school has taken notice? Hahaha.¡± ¡°Beijing Academy.¡± ¡°Damn, why are you still bragging? Lead the way.¡± Yang Jian was rendered speechless. ¡°I¡¯m full. I¡¯ll head out.¡± Zhao Xing left with his rice bowl without saying much. ¡°Who is it? Boasting is so dull. Boring,¡± complained Yang Jian. But at that moment, a group of staff entered the cafeteria entrance, holding a banner. A commotion ensued at the door. Chen Huimin, Yang Jian, and others finished eating and joined the gathering. Upon closer inspection, they were astonished. The banner prominently read: ¡°Congratulations to Zhao Xing, a student from Class 3 Senior 3 of our school, for being recommended to the Transcendent Academy in Beijing!¡± ¡°Damn? What he said is actually true!¡± Yang Jian was left dumbfounded. Chapter 34 - Main Professional Skills, Enchanting Seals! Chapter 34: Main Professional Skills, Enchanting Seals!Yang Tianming swiftly moved, having already crafted the banner. Aware that Zhao Xing would be accompanied, he remained uncertain about which academy it would be. On the day the admissions team arrived, he took it upon himself to create banners for all five academies, hoping to display the stories of each prestigious institution if permitted. Once Zhao Xing and Lu Yuanwei signed the enrollment agreement, he wasted no time in initiating the publicity campaign. Soon, these banners adorned every corner of the school, causing a stir among the students. ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought Beijing University would recruit Zhao Xing? What a big shot!¡± ¡°I envy him! Recommending someone to Beijing University is a big deal!¡± ¡°He¡¯s from our class! Incredible!¡± ¡°He¡¯s a charmer. Can¡¯t believe even a charmer can get recommended. Haven¡¯t seen him in years!¡± ¡°Zhao Xing is amazing!¡± Walking down the road, Yang Jian and Chen Huimin, after seeing numerous banners, finally believed the news. ¡°Yang Jian, consider yourself lucky you didn¡¯t bet on Zhao Xing¡¯s father-son game. You¡¯d be calling him Dad now,¡± teased a girl. ¡°You don¡¯t understand. I knew it all along, so I said it just to mess around,¡± Yang Jian responded, blushing. ¡°Really? Who said he wouldn¡¯t be escorted that day?¡± ¡°You must¡¯ve misunderstood!¡± ¡°I heard it from you!¡± The exchange continued, filled with laughter, making the boulevard lively. Back in the laboratory, Zhao Xing, not eager to rest, decided to test a piece of equipment. Upon reaching level 20, a new skill in the main job tree, Enchanting Seal, is unlocked. ¡°Enchanting Seal (primary level): It can seal the enchanting effect within a certain range around it for a certain period of time.¡± The seal¡¯s duration depended on the target¡¯s level and the releaser¡¯s mental power attribute. Zhao Xing tested it, with the current range covering a 20-meter radius. However, it only affected equipment up to level 40. The quality and enchantment level also influenced the effectiveness. Despite its limitations, Zhao Xing found the skill lacking when used on its own. Unlocking the career branch ¡°Enchanting Tools¡± seemed necessary, though it required substantial skills, energy, and funds. ¡°Unlocking this branch is resource-intensive. I can experiment with it since I can use good materials for free.¡± However, Zhao Xing needed one more prerequisite knowledge, ¡°Energy Transfer,¡± to improve the enchanting device. Considering the commonality between advanced magic knowledge and the magic department, he planned to wait for the order to be completed before delving deeper. Lying on the bed, Zhao Xing closed his eyes, reflecting on the progress he made during this period. Thanks to the military orders, the proficiency of his other skills increased rapidly. Glancing at the panel: [Name: Zhao Xing][Occupation: Enchanter (Elementary)][Level: Level 22 (3%)][Power: 85][Physical strength: 278][Speed: 31][Spirit: 597][Equipment: Hat of the Scholar (King-Grade)][Occupation Tree: Opened][Specialty: low-level mental toughness, high concentration, life fluctuation, element perception.][Skills: primary attribute enchantment, primary material enchantment, primary material identification, primary spiritual training, primary material transformation, primary material fusion, primary permanent.][Free attribute points: 0][Professional branches: primary energy structure, primary equipment analysis.] Among them, [Primary Material Enchanting] and [Primary Material Identification], [Primary Material Fusion], [Primary Spiritual Training], and [Permanent] were the most commonly used, and their proficiency had exceeded 8,000. Most of the progress had already transpired. It was approaching the mid-level point. Amidst them, [Permanent] had surpassed 9000 due to the advanced proficiency attained, poised to attain the intermediate level soon. [Primary Equipment Analysis] and [Primary Energy Structure], linked to [Permanent]¡¯s skill, had also exceeded 5000 in progress. [Primary Attribute Enchanting] and [Primary Material Modification] had seen limited use, barely crossing the 2000 mark. As for expertise, no progress bar existed. Its impact remained constant. Under specific conditions or upon acquiring certain treasures, advancements occurred. ¡°This method of tracking progress is truly beneficial. Much improved compared to the past when the blue star remained unchanged.¡± ¡°However, rumors suggest that extended lack of proficiency might cause skill deterioration and that human body function, having passed the peak period, could lead to attribute decline. Not sure if it¡¯s true.¡± Blue Star turned it into a game, yet it seemed incomplete, adhering to certain real-world rules. ¡°I wonder if such phenomena will emerge later. Will bosses in those world-class dungeons succumb to old age?¡± ¡°I should look up relevant information someday.¡± In speculative musings, Zhao Xing swiftly drifted into a deep slumber. ¡­ Upon awakening, Zhao Xing felt invigorated.

A relative?¡± Smiling, Qin Yulian explained to a neighbor: ¡°This is Teacher Guan Ya from Xinger¡¯s school.¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t the child recommended for admission?
