Chapter 54: Level 6 Warrior, Battle Spirit Radiant

Zongwang Prompt: Based on version features, the current Profession Level has increased, begin selecting Elite Talent Extraction.

The familiar process, Mu Yi, as before, chose an ability based on his feeling.

This time an endless flame appeared before Mu Yi; in an instant he thought he had been thrown into a sea of fire, and the endless flames seemed to scorch everything, yet Mu Yi, with two prior experiences, felt no fear.

Sure enough, the next moment he returned to reality.

Zongwang Prompt: Character gains Elite Talent: Scorch.

Elite Talent: Scorch (LV1)

A flame from the soul that can grant endless power, and can also incinerate everything of the enemy, burning all to ash, even the ethereal fate is no exception.

Talent Effect 1: After actively activating the talent, you can scorch a designated target and area, dispel the target's beneficial states, and consume the target's stamina and energy.

Talent Effect 2: Passive effect; the ever‑burning soul fire can dispel abnormal and negative conditions on oneself and heal incurred damage.

Another powerful ability; in terms of value it is almost directly equivalent to the three specialties Fury Thunder, Swift Shadow, and Barbaric Thunder.

From a certain perspective, the three specialties Fury Thunder, Swift Shadow, and Barbaric Thunder merged into one could also form an Elite Talent?

Dispelling negative states and also healing wounds—doesn't that essentially give you a built‑in healer?

Mu Yi thought this was cool.

"Scorch!" Mu Yi tried to actively control the Elite Talent.

Illusory flames spread out from Mu Yi's body; he watched the phantom fire coiling around his arm. Though not real, Mu Yi felt a warm aura within it.

Mu Yi casually cut a wound on his arm; the illusory fire automatically gathered at the wound, and under the warm flame the injury healed rapidly, disappearing in the blink of an eye, restored to its original state.

Zongwang Prompt: Military Soul Ultimate Skill activated, currently extracting a basic talent…

"Extraction successful, you gain the basic talent—Determination!"

"Determination Talent Effect: Perception +1"

Zongwang Prompt: Character Perception attribute +1 (17→18)!

The instant the Perception attribute rose, Mu Yi jerked his head up, feeling a strange sensation, as if something in a certain direction was calling him.

The feeling vanished in an instant, but Mu Yi was certain it was not an illusion.

Perhaps, when his Perception breaks through again, he will be able to seize that fleeting sense.

Mu Yi pondered whether to raise his Profession Level directly to Level 6.

As a commonly chosen cap level node among Zongwang Players, this level indeed has its rationale.

Most spell‑casting professions can start using third‑circle spells at Level 6, and the most famous third‑circle spell is Fireball, which is practically the mage's hallmark and the point at which they transition toward glass cannons.

Of course this Fireball cannot be the Goblin mage's version; the gap between them is roughly like that between a Lamborghini and a shared bicycle.

When a normal profession reaches Level 6, it at least gains three free attribute points, but unfortunately in Mu Yi's version the Zongwang has disabled attribute enhancement.

However, the Profession Baptism that comes with a level increase seems to boost all attributes; Mu Yi feels that if he jumps straight to Level 6, he might obtain a full‑attribute boost.

Without any hesitation, Mu Yi went all‑in; he is not one to be timid, senior experience is always worth learning from, and he feels that now he can wield the power that comes with the level increase.

"Increase Profession Level to Level 6? Note, this operation requires 40,000 experience points!"

Seeing the prompt flash on his retina, Mu Yi did not hesitate and confirmed with his mind:

"Consumed 40,000 experience successfully, character's Warrior Profession Level increased to Level 6!"

"You have received three Profession Baptisms; your comprehensive base attributes (all character attributes, maximum HP, related basic saves) have been increased!"

"Your all attributes increased by 1 point!"

"Current attributes: Strength 12, Dexterity 12, Constitution 13, Intelligence 11, Charisma 11, Perception 19."

"Based on your Profession Level, you gain a profession specialty: please make your choice."

"Impenetrable: Natural armor +2, increase physical damage resistance, increase spell damage reduction, and grant extra resistance against weapon damage."

"Weapon Master: You can wield any weapon, and any weapon becomes yours; you know how to use them to deal maximum damage and how to hit enemies more easily."

"Battle Spirit Radiant: Facing any enemy you maintain high morale; no will can shake your spirit, Will‑based skill checks +1, Will resistance +1, Will save +1."

This time Mu Yi was in a dilemma; each ability would greatly aid him.

After much hesitation, Mu Yi eliminated Impenetrable and Weapon Master, choosing Battle Spirit Radiant.

No other reason; he valued that Will resistance, as Iron-blooded Slaughter's side effect is always a Damocles sword hanging over his head.

In solo Dungeons it isn't much of an issue, but once in team combat he falls into a renouncing‑all‑kin frenzy, that would be terrible.

When he previously led Li Tian's team, he tried to avoid actively triggering Iron-blooded Slaughter's ability as much as possible, to keep his mind as clear as possible.

And this profession specialty that boosts Will resistance is a pretty good safety lock for him.

Zongwang Prompt: Based on version features, the current Profession Level has increased, begin selecting Elite Talent Extraction.

Mu Yi repeated the Elite Talent Extraction process three times; after the third, he was drenched in sweat, and the higher his Perception, the more he could feel the hidden power of the Elite Talents.

Each time the Elite Talent selection displayed a scene, it was the ultimate future development of that Elite Talent, a truly tangible future that placed great mental pressure on Mu Yi.

Each Elite Talent extraction felt like walking bare‑handed past an unrestrained tiger.

When the three Elite Talent extractions were finished, fine beads of sweat had already seeped from Mu Yi's back.

"You have gained Elite Talent: Attribute Sharing"

"You have gained Elite Talent: Heavy Armor Defense"

"You have gained Elite Talent: Ten‑fold Versatility"

Looking at the three Elite Talents, Mu Yi's face showed a strange expression; there seemed to be a hierarchy among Elite Talents, and compared with the previous three, these three felt somewhat gated.
