Chapter 260: Numerical Beauty: Has the 'Transcendence Technique' Skill Level Dropped?

Along with the successful job change to 【Magic Transcender】.

The air around Tang Zheng seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, forming a visible vortex that diffused a faint blue luster.

In the lava zone, where everything was originally shrouded in red light due to the influence of the crimson magma sea, the red radiance seemed to be absorbed, centered on Tang Zheng's location.

It formed a pale blue area with a radius of five meters.

Tang Zheng clearly felt a massive surge of magic power pouring into his body like a tide, causing the pale blue light radiating from his body to become a few shades more intense.

A mere three breaths.

The pale blue magic halo and the astonishing aura fluctuations in the surroundings suddenly contracted and calmed down.

【Comprehensive Level: 42→43】

Tang Zheng opened his eyes, a blue magic glow flashing within his black pupils: "The second special class."

Surprise!

Excitement!

Tang Zheng looked at the class information on the attribute panel, a rare expression of agitation appearing on his face.

This special class was entirely deduced by him based on the job change conditions of the 【Mad Mage】. Being able to truly trigger it gave him a clearer understanding of the acquisition conditions for special classes.

"Magic Transcender—this class name is actually quite fitting for a class name from the Other World."

Tang Zheng pondered slightly, which reminded him of the 【Dragon Transcender】 class unique to the Dragon race.

"A full six passives?"

"Impressive!" Tang Zheng's eyes widened a fraction; he remembered that the 【Valkyrie】 only had five passives.

After finishing the description of the first passive, "Magic Master," Tang Zheng frowned imperceptibly.

No specific ability, a very vague description.

It wasn't that Tang Zheng felt this passive was poor; among various classes, it wasn't as if there weren't relatively vague passive descriptions—it was a type of passive that required him to explore on his own.

Hard to evaluate.

The following five passive abilities became clear, especially the last one, "Magic Transcendence Power."

It made Tang Zheng's breathing become much more rapid; no wonder he felt an astonishing amount of magic power appear out of thin air within his body.

Among the several passive abilities, apart from "Magic Transcendence Power," at first glance, there were no particularly stunning passives.

However, if studied seriously.

It revealed a kind of ordinary numerical beauty.

"'Super Magic Master': Increases the variable quantity in magic to the maximum value."

Tang Zheng sat on the edge of the magma sea, his legs dangling in mid-air, looking at the boiling and surging magma below, and raised his hand to chant:

"Magic Arrow."

Swish! Swish—Swish!

The magic arrows, which could only condense three in a normal casting, directly appeared as ten, flying out and blasting into the magma below, exploding.

"Heating."

Tang Zheng raised a finger and pointed at the air in front of him.

A crimson red light burst forth at the fingertip.

Boom!

Due to the instantaneous heating, the air at the fingertip expanded rapidly, producing an explosion-like roar and turning into a scorching heatwave that blasted outward.

The shockwave of the explosion blew the red magic robe on Tang Zheng's body to pieces; the shredded cloth strips were turned to ash by the high temperature before they could even fly into mid-air.

And the scorching heat flow landing on Tang Zheng's body was like a breeze blowing past, having no effect at all.

"The Fourth Rank 'Heating' effect can instantly raise the temperature to 300 degrees, and then gradually climb to 1200 degrees within one minute."

"The effect just displayed was clearly raised directly to 1200 degrees... so this is the maximization of variable quantity."

Tang Zheng's gaze flashed; he raised his hand to pull off a strip of cloth hanging around his neck and tossed it into the magma sea below.

It was just an ordinary robe; there were dozens more in the item box.

The two spells "Magic Arrow" and "Heating" had already given Tang Zheng a clear understanding of the "Super Magic Master" passive ability.

"Speaking of which, the Rank magic in 'Yggdrasil' does contain quite a few spells with relatively large numerical variation ranges."

Tang Zheng recalled in his mind.

For example, the Seventh Rank area spell "Sunlight Burst" would cause higher damage to creatures with lower Justice values.

The Tenth Rank "Divine Flame"—the higher the Justice value of the person releasing it, the stronger the magic power.

"Speaking of which, the 'Heating' spell doesn't directly heat the object it touches, but rather heats the small area touched by the fingertip, and then transmits the temperature through heat conduction."

Tang Zheng felt that this spell perhaps should be raised in Rank; the doubled temperature numerical change was truly a bit frightening.

There should be an upper limit.

"'Mana's Blessing': Accelerates magic power recovery; have to wait a while to see the effect."

"'Elemental Blessing'? Specialization in four-element attacks? It can actually be coordinated with the 【Mad Mage】 passive."

"'Magic Power Consumption Reduction'... Hiss, I knew it!" Tang Zheng took a deep breath.

He had once calculated that even if the magic power value was raised to the maximum, like the Bone King's crazy spellcasting behavior when dealing with Xia Tiya, the magic power simply wouldn't be enough.

Tang Zheng had long guessed that since there were no magic power recovery potions in "Yggdrasil," there must be skills, passives, pay-to-win items, equipment, and other means to reduce magic power consumption.

"Class raised to max level, reduces magic power consumption by 15 points; spells below Fourth Rank only need to consume one magic power point to be activated, completely improving endurance by a large margin."

A disguised combat power increase!

"As expected of a special class constructed after satisfying the conditions for all four major spellcasting systems." Tang Zheng looked forward to the class skills below.

"'Transcendence Technique'?"

Tang Zheng was stunned, then continued to look down at the remaining two skills.

For a moment.

The air was a bit silent.

He suddenly understood why there were no relevant resistance-type passives among the 【Magic Transcender】's passive abilities.

"Word of Elemental Collapse" — Elemental resistance nullification.

"Goddess Kali's Sigh: Elemental Extinction Day" — Magic-prohibiting elements.

Just this trump card ultimate move alone—once released, whether there was elemental resistance was already irrelevant. Once this skill was out, elemental-type spellcasters in his eyes were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with no ability to resist.

"Such a strong special class; feels like it's a grade stronger than 【Valkyrie】." Tang Zheng clenched his fists, a bright smile appearing on his face.

"Need to raise the level to fully exert the class's abilities. That's fine, the stored experience points were originally prepared for this."

Tang Zheng needed to experience these two special skills to further determine the skills' power, effects, range, etc.

Additionally, looking at the "Transcendence Technique" skill, a bold idea popped into Tang Zheng's mind.

【Experience Slot: 2671356/260000】

"Level up!" Tang Zheng.

【Experience Slot: 2411356/310000】

【Magic Transcender: 2lv · Skill Points: 48→51】

【Experience Slot: 1331356/460000】

【Magic Transcender: 5lv · Skill Points: 57→60】

【Comprehensive Level: 43→47】

Leveled up four times in one breath.

!

Tang Zheng's entire body began to emit a scorching white steam heat, coming from the life force field formed by the high level, constantly radiating.

Causing the surrounding air to show signs of distortion.

However!

Tang Zheng had no intention of ending it; his gaze was fixed on the attribute panel, consuming experience points again.

【Experience Slot: 871356/510000】

【Ninja: 2lv · Skill Points: 60→63】

【Comprehensive Level: 47→48】

【Experience Slot: 361356/560000】

【Ninja: 3lv · Skill Points: 63→66】

【Comprehensive Level: 48→49】

In the blink of an eye.

Nearly three million experience points were left with only about 360,000, and the level had completely stopped at the 49lv level.

Tang Zheng subconsciously raised his arm to support the edge of the rock beside him.

With a "Crack!" sound.

The suddenly increased powerful force, not controlled for a moment, smashed the rock, which had been extremely sturdy after long-term magma scouring and fire burning, into pieces with one slap.

Large areas of cracks spread in all directions.

Boom!

The edge of the rock Tang Zheng was sitting on collapsed rapidly, falling toward the magma sea below.

Seeing this scene.

Tang Zheng hurriedly retracted his uncontrolled arm, his body leaped lightly, and his entire body landed lightly in a nearby position as if a flight spell had been applied.

Bang!

The magma sea splashed up dozens of meters of fiery giant waves, and a rich sulfur smell permeated, making Tang Zheng wrinkle his nose.

"Leveled up six times at once; even the strength is a bit uncontrollable."

Tang Zheng waved his arms a few times, adapted slightly to the surging strength, and continued to look at the attribute panel:

"Still have 360,000 experience points left; according to the 'Transcendence Technique' skill, I can consume 350,000 experience to release a Seventh Rank spell."

"If I forcibly consume experience to release magic... what would happen if the experience is not enough?" Tang Zheng opened his mouth and licked his upper lip.

"'Transcendence Technique'—Fourth Rank: Bai Yin Knight Spear!"

The 200,000 experience points in the experience slot were consumed in an instant; a two-meter-long silver spear condensed rapidly in front of Tang Zheng and blasted into the magma sea.

"'Transcendence Technique'—Fourth Rank: Bai Yin Knight Spear!"

Releasing magic again.

The movement of magic above the Seventh Rank was too big, so Tang Zheng planned to use two Fourth Rank low-level spells.

A touch of silver light appeared again.

But the next moment!

The condensed silver spear paused, the magic seeming to show signs of jamming.

Hum—

The attribute panel vibrated.

【Experience points insufficient; stop the 'Transcendence Technique' spellcasting?】

"No!" Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with intensity.

In an instant.

The information on the attribute panel changed rapidly.

【Genius: 10lv, Sword Saint: 10lv... Magic Transcender: 5lv, Ninja: 3lv】

All classes appeared rapidly on the panel, looking like they were making Tang Zheng make a choice.

"Ninja."

Tang Zheng muttered in his heart.

【Experience Slot: 471356/510000】

【Ninja: 3lv→2lv】

【Skill Points: 66→66】

【Comprehensive Level: 49→48】

Boom!

The Bai Yin Knight Spear completely condensed in mid-air, pierced the air, and exploded into the magma sea below, with dozens of meters of magma giant waves rushing into the sky.

It triggered a vibration on the surface of the magma sea, and rolling magma waves surged up.

Facing the huge movement caused,

Tang Zheng ignored it directly, instead staring fixedly at the information on the attribute panel, seeing the situation where he had dropped a level.

"Skill points don't change?"

"'Transcendence Technique'—this skill... is too interesting." Tang Zheng felt that he seemed to have discovered something incredible.
