Chapter 7: A Class Acquisition Method Opposite to the Game

On the arena.

The battle between Gazef and Brain grew increasingly intense, with the flashes of light that accompany the activation of martial arts constantly appearing on their bodies.

At the same time.

Information on Tang Zheng’s attribute panel also kept appearing.

"Skill 'Weakness Detection' discovered. Requires basic warrior-type class. Current conditions not met—"

"'Genius' class activated. Conversion successful. Learning conditions met. Consume 1 skill point to learn?"

"Skill 'Instant Reflex' discovered. Requires basic warrior-type class. Current conditions not met—"

"'Genius' class activated. Conversion successful. Learning conditions met. Consume 1 skill point to learn?"

………

"Skill 'Ability Boost' discovered. Requires basic warrior-type class. Current conditions not met—"

"'Genius' class activated. Conversion successful. Learning conditions met. Consume 1 skill point to learn?"

Bang! Bang!

The sound of weapons clashing echoed throughout the venue.

"So amazing!"

"Too strong, he truly deserves to have easily defeated that series of opponents earlier."

"To think he could fight the genius swordsman Brain to this extent; that man named Gazef is so strong."

"Hey, hey, I can’t even see the fight between these two anymore."

"…………"

The originally quiet stands became completely boisterous following the spectacular offense and defense of Gazef and his opponent.

Tang Zheng was also somewhat excited, though he wasn't looking at the arena, but at the information appearing on his attribute panel.

"By watching others use skills, I can consume skill points to learn them; this method of acquiring skills is truly unexpected."

Tang Zheng’s eyes flickered slightly.

He had originally thought that, like the people of this other world, he would need to learn through self-study to acquire skills.

At this moment.

What truly made Tang Zheng feel excited inside was the general class "Genius"; it was just as he had expected, perhaps even more excellent than he had initially guessed.

Looking at the prompts on the attribute panel, Tang Zheng considered which skills to acquire, as he only had three skill points currently.

Hm?

Suddenly, Tang Zheng noticed a prompt on the attribute panel.

"Skill 'Rapid Slash' discovered. Requires intermediate class 'Sword Saint'. Current conditions not met—"

"Pre-requisite class 'Genius (Warrior)' already possessed. Consume 3 skill points to learn?"

Seeing this information, Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

Intermediate class "Sword Saint"?

Tang Zheng subconsciously glanced at the arena; this skill seemed to come from Brain, who held the upper hand.

If he remembered correctly, Brain possessed three classes: Warrior (Basic), Expert Swordsman (Intermediate), and Sword Saint (Intermediate).

This prompt on the attribute panel must have been provided by Brain.

What Tang Zheng was pondering now wasn't the issue of the intermediate class "Sword Saint," but another matter he had overlooked.

In the game "Yggdrasil," players had to acquire the relevant class first before they could learn that class's skills, whereas the situation in this other world was the exact opposite.

People in this world needed to learn the skills of a class first to acquire the relevant class; in other words, there were no such things as pre-requisites.

For example, the high-level class "Ninja," which required reaching level 60 or above to learn in the game, had no level requirement in this other world.

As long as one learned the skills of the "Ninja" class, one could acquire that class; the ninja sisters of the adamantite-ranked adventurer group [Blue Rose] were a case in point.

If he learned the skill "Rapid Slash" now, could he indirectly acquire the intermediate class "Sword Saint"?

If he could succeed.

Then Tang Zheng would have learned another method for acquiring classes.

Moreover, compared to touching equipment or weapons of different classes, the method of acquiring classes by obtaining skills was more advantageous and far more accurate.

Especially when it came to building a class configuration.

Intermediate classes were one thing, but the acquisition of high-level classes suddenly became simple.

As for special classes? This thought flashed through Tang Zheng’s mind, and he shook his head slightly.

Never mind special classes; among the people of this other world, those who could master high-level classes were likely few and far between.

Although special classes also belonged to high-level classes, they were completely different from high-level, intermediate, or basic classes; in "Yggdrasil," they were classes that required meeting pre-requisites to acquire.

There was almost no way to cheat this!

In the game, while all level 100 players might be able to acquire multiple high-level classes, most could only acquire a single special class.

This showed how harsh the conditions were!

"Ah!!"

"Oh! Go, Brain!"

"…………"

The renewed cheers brought Tang Zheng back to his senses, and he looked toward the arena below.

Unknowingly!

=9+Book_Bar

Under Brain’s storm-like offensive, Gazef had begun to retreat step by step; the entire situation looked as if Brain was about to claim victory.

Tang Zheng’s breath hitched as he stared fixedly at the arena; he wanted to see if the result of this match was exactly as it was in his memories.

Under such high-frequency combat.

Gazef’s retreating footsteps seemed to lose their footing, and he suddenly stumbled.

Just at this moment!

Brain stepped forward quickly, seemingly intending to end the battle in this instant.

However.

In the next moment, Brain’s body suddenly stiffened, and he was then uncontrollably sent flying backward, collapsing onto the arena.

The excited cheers at the scene suddenly ceased.

What happened in that brief instant was clearly impossible for Tang Zheng to see clearly with his current strength, and there were definitely not many in the entire audience who could truly see the process.

But!

Tang Zheng’s gaze shifted to the attribute panel.

"Skill 'Four-Fold Slash of Light' discovered. Requires warrior-type class. Current conditions not met—"

"'Genius' class activated. Conversion successful. Learning conditions met. Consume 1 skill point to learn?"

Tang Zheng’s expression softened; it seemed it was exactly as he knew from history.

In this "Imperial Tournament" match, Gazef had achieved final victory with the skill he had researched himself, "Four-Fold Slash of Light"!

Whoosh—

Clap clap clap!!

After a brief silence, the entire venue was filled with enthusiastic cheers and applause.

"Gazef!!!"

"Gazef!!!"

"Gazef!!!"

"…………"

The shouts echoed through the sky.

Tang Zheng scanned the surrounding figures, who were all emotionally agitated with flushed faces, exhaled slightly, looked at the attribute panel, and thought to himself: "Learn skill 'Rapid Slash'."

He wanted to test if he could indirectly acquire a "class" through class skills.

Additionally.

Because the general class "Genius" could not provide attribute bonuses, he currently needed to acquire a combat-oriented class as well.

With the ability of "Genius" to convert into basic classes, he could afford the margin of error of one intermediate class.
