Chapter 3: Endless Incantation

Ye Lin silently checked his attribute panel.

【Name: Ye Lin】

【Class: Forbidden Spellcaster】

【Level: 1 (0.00%)】

【Strength: 10】

【Agility: 15】

【Spirit: 30】

【Class Talent: Endless Incantation. For every level the Forbidden Spellcaster increases, one forbidden spell can be unlocked.】

【Skill: Forbidden Spell — World-Ending Wild Thunder】

【Forbidden Spell — World-Ending Wild Thunder: The Forbidden Spellcaster sacrifices their own body to summon world-ending thunder from above the nine heavens. The more vital the sacrificed body part, the higher the grade of the summoned thunder. At its peak, it can summon Chaos Divine Thunder. The power depends on the spellcaster's own level and spirit.】

【Note: The Forbidden Spellcaster consumes nothing to cast forbidden spells and has no cooldown.】

Generally speaking, skill grades are divided into Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Legendary skills are already extremely powerful, yet above Legendary, there is a Forbidden grade skill, which the world calls a forbidden spell.

The reason Forbidden Spellcasters are powerful is that every skill a Forbidden Spellcaster knows is a forbidden spell.

When others cast a forbidden spell, it is usually because they have been forced into a desperate situation and are risking their lives, but for a Forbidden Spellcaster, their basic attack is a forbidden spell.

This forbidden spell, World-Ending Wild Thunder, made Ye Lin feel incredibly fired up. Chaos Divine Thunder—that is the emperor of all thunder.

No wonder Forbidden Spellcasters are claimed to be invincible among their peers; if a Chaos Divine Thunder strikes down, even if you brought a deity of the same level, they would be struck dead.

What is even more critical is that when a Forbidden Spellcaster casts a forbidden spell, there is not only no cooldown but also no mana consumption! This means that as long as one has enough lives, Chaos Divine Thunder can be spammed infinitely; friends with plenty of lives should know this well.

With the Forbidden Spellcaster class combined with an Undying Body, Ye Lin could not even imagine how terrifying he would be once his level increased. For him, the Forbidden Spellcaster class had absolutely no side effects.

A Forbidden Spellcaster with no side effects and combat power that crushes all other classes—Ye Lin would wake up laughing in the middle of the night just dreaming about it.

Although he was ecstatic in his heart, Ye Lin knew very well that now was not the time to be cocky. No matter how strong a forbidden spell is, he still had to raise his level. For now, he still had to play the part of the underdog.

Even if you gave a three-year-old child a Fire Qilin, they still wouldn't be able to kill anyone.

Ye Lin tightly clenched his fists, his whole body trembling, panting like an ox, his eyes bloodshot, reasonably portraying the unwillingness a genius should have after rising and then falling at lightning speed.

Seeing Ye Lin's reaction, the principal couldn't help but sigh, his face showing some pity.

Such a good child, it's a pity he is a Forbidden Spellcaster.

"Ye Lin, don't be too agitated. As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. The Forbidden Spellcaster class is still very powerful. To have bloomed brilliantly is better than living a mediocre life, isn't it?"

Ye Lin slowly raised his head, his voice extremely hoarse.

"Principal, do Forbidden Spellcasters really not live past 25?"

The principal was stunned, then nodded with some reluctance. He did not want to deceive Ye Lin; although Forbidden Spellcasters are powerful, their power comes at a price.

But soon, the principal's eyes lit up again.

Forbidden Spellcasters may have short lives, but with an SSS-grade Forbidden Spellcaster plus an SSS-grade Fire Mage, wouldn't their Qingcheng High School's college entrance exam trial be secure?

There was no need for Zhuge Ni to even make a move. If this kid Ye Lin got ruthless and sacrificed a kidney to cast a forbidden spell, he could sweep through all the other high schools.

"Wonderful!"

Thinking of himself standing on the high platform after the college entrance exam trial ended, delivering a speech about winning first place, the principal couldn't help but clap in delight.

Their Qingcheng High School hadn't taken first place in five years. Five years—who knew how he had spent these five years?

Being mocked wantonly by the principals of other high schools every year, the Qingcheng High School principal had long since had enough.

"Ye Lin, good child, you come with me too! Quickly!"

The principal excitedly brought Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni to his office.

"Student Ye Lin, Student Zhuge Ni, I presume you both know why I have called you here alone."

The principal looked at the two with burning eyes.

"You two are the hope of my Qingcheng High School for this college entrance exam trial!"

"Therefore, tomorrow's Novice Secret Realm is especially important for you! I hope that both of you can raise your levels to at least level ten or above!"

"Rest assured, tomorrow I will not arrange for you to bring any students from support classes, giving you the chance to solo. So, I hope you will not let me down."

The principal spoke with earnest wishes.

Generally speaking, when entering the Novice Secret Realm, combat-type classes must bring support classes to form a team to grind, because support classes do not have the ability to fight alone.

Letting Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni solo meant that they would level up faster than others.

"Principal, I have no problem with that, but Ye Lin..." Zhuge Ni frowned slightly.

Letting a Forbidden Spellcaster solo in the Novice Secret Realm? Isn't that like using a cannon to blast a mosquito? If he encounters a level-one monster, he casts a forbidden spell; if he encounters a level-five monster, he also casts a forbidden spell. After finishing a solo run, he'd probably have lost half his life, right?

"Then what do you mean?" the principal asked.

"Let me team up with Ye Lin. This way, we are fully confident in venturing deep into the secret realm. I will handle the low-level monsters, and he can handle the high-level ones. That way, the leveling speed should be even faster!" Zhuge Ni said.

Although teaming up to kill monsters only yields half the experience, venturing deep into the secret realm can save time spent looking for monsters, so it might not necessarily be slower than soloing.

"Oh? That makes sense! That is indeed a good method. Student Ye Lin, what do you think?" The principal's eyes brightened.

"Principal, I'd rather solo. I'm used to being on my own." Ye Lin scratched his head honestly.

If he teamed up with Zhuge Ni, he would be restricted in every way, and he would also have to worry about exposing the secret of his Undying Body. Ye Lin had no interest in that.

"Truly unappreciative of kindness."

Zhuge Ni's gaze turned slightly cold. She had intended to help Ye Lin out of consideration for being a fellow student—after all, changing into a short-lived class like Forbidden Spellcaster was already unlucky enough—but she hadn't expected Ye Lin to refuse her.

So be it. Once he enters the secret realm and comes out missing an arm or a leg, he'll know he was wrong.

"Then let's go with soloing. Student Zhuge's method is good, but venturing deep into the secret realm is still too risky." The principal made the final decision. He didn't care about the consequences of Ye Lin soloing, nor did he care if Ye Lin would have a short life. All he wanted was the enrollment rate and first place!

Even if Ye Lin lost half his life after finishing the Novice Secret Realm, as long as he could achieve good results in the college entrance exam trial, that was enough. What did it matter to him if Ye Lin lived or died later?

Afterward, the principal took out two rings and handed them to Zhuge Ni and Ye Lin respectively.

【Heavenly Wisdom Ring】
