Chapter 123: Sacred Summoner, the Absolutely Beautiful Yi Ning

Jiang Chen's current status is not merely that of a Shenlong University student.

After joining the Alien Battlefield, he truly has Military Merit.

The soldiers who come to the battlefield to slay demons for the Human Race all deserve respect.

They are the ones who have actually contributed to the Human Race, especially Jiang Chen, who at only Level 23 has already reached the rank of Five-Star Private.

This is a very rare achievement among many professionals; many cannot become a Three-Star Private even at Level 30, let alone a Five-Star Private.

When the Guard Captain walked over, Jiang Chen stood up, his tone firm: "This is our responsibility."

"Good, very good!"

The Knight Team Leader let out a hearty laugh, waved his hand to the crowd: "Let's go! Since there is no longer any danger, we need not linger."

Wu Lingdong explained: "These squads usually patrol nearby; once they see a Rescue Signal, they rush over to reinforce."

"They are not the only one; there should be other squads that see the Rescue Signal and rush over as well!"

"Also, the squads leveling and grinding nearby—anyone who sees the Rescue Signal will hurry over!"

As the Rescue Signal was sent, the mist rolled again quickly, and squads arrived from all directions to reinforce.

This spirit of unity made Jiang Chen feel greatly invigorated.

Whenever anyone sends a Rescue Signal, someone will rush to reinforce immediately; such unity is what allows the Human Race to survive on the Alien Battlefield.

Jiang Chen also understands that if he sees a Rescue Signal, he would go to reinforce without hesitation.

The Human Race can endure and its belief persist only through the unity of countless individuals like this.

With more squads

joining, the Instance area became unusually lively.

The squad that rushed over to reinforce found everything was fine, let out a sigh of relief, and decided to rest here.

Jiang Chen saw several solo professionals in the crowd.

These people are usually very confident in their abilities and dare to act alone.

Suddenly, a bright beam of light in the sky illuminated the entire Instance area.

A bright moon rose silently in the thin mist, giving a sense of mystery.

Wu Lingdong was slightly startled: "She's also here."

Jiang Chen looked up at the rapidly approaching professional.

He could feel a powerful aura rushing toward this direction.

Just as he was about to ask Wu Lingdong who "she" referred to, Wu Lingdong began to explain.

The professional is named Yi Ning, a princess of the Yi Family in Shenlong City, who holds the Sacred Summoner profession and is a Mythic Tier Profession.

Her arrival drew everyone's attention.

A sacred Unicorn appeared in the sky, radiating astonishing light.

Yi Ning sat upright on the Unicorn's back, her proud demeanor making her look like a goddess descending to the mortal world.

When the crowd looked at her, all bore looks of reverence and worship.

She was almost perfectly beautiful, and the gazes of those around were filled with fascination.

Many people, when looking at her, had eyes full of admiration.

She was simply too beautiful, nearly perfect.

Ye Jinrong, when looking at Yi Ning, also gazed with fascination.

She looked proud, glanced once, then turned and left.

Suddenly, she paused.

Her gaze lingered on Jiang Chen for a moment, revealing a hint of disgust.

There was something about Jiang Chen that disgusted her.

But she said nothing, quickly

rode the Unicorn and vanished into the sky.

The whole process was aloof, her eyes exuding arrogance.

Jiang Chen had also been looking at her earlier, specifically at the Military Badge on her shoulder.

It was a silver Military Rank with four stars.

A Four-Star Lieutenant, proving she has slain many Abyss monsters.

Wu Lingdong explained: "She seems to be looking for something; she usually stays deep in the distant battlefield and rarely comes here."

Lin Caier suddenly interjected: "I know, she's looking for the Nirvana Soul Crystal."

Wu Lingdong was startled: "So she's searching for the Nirvana Soul Crystal, no wonder."

His eyes also showed longing; he too wanted the Nirvana Soul Crystal.

The Nirvana Soul Crystal is an extremely Rare material.

When professionals undergo Second Transcendence, they further clarify their career path.

During the Second Transcendence, there is a slight chance for Profession Ascension.

For example, Wu Lingdong's Holy Knight could potentially ascend during Second Transcendence, becoming a Holy Light Knight.

If successful, one can leap from a Rare-level profession to a Mythic-level Profession.

But the chance of Profession Ascension is extremely low, almost impossible.

The emergence of the Nirvana Soul Crystal changes this situation.

The Nirvana Soul Crystal can greatly increase the probability of Profession Ascension.

It turns decay into wonder, making the impossible possible.

According to research of ancient texts, using the Nirvana Soul Crystal raises the success rate of Profession Ascension to over 30%.

It's roughly a one‑third chance, far, far higher than the previous odds of a few ten‑thousands to one.

Nirvana Soul Crystals are likewise extremely rare and hard to obtain.

Wu Lingdong said, "Deep in the distant battlefield, there is a monster called Battlefield Evil Soul, whose level ranges from Level 39 to Level 40, and they have roughly…"

"…a chance to drop Nirvana Soul Crystals, but the probability is extremely, extremely low."

Lin Caier added, "There is also the Battlefield Ghost King; it also drops Nirvana Soul Crystals, and it is a guaranteed drop."

Wu Lingdong shook his head, "The Battlefield Ghost King appears rarely, and it is a World‑Class Boss, very hard to defeat."

Lin Caier cupped her cheek and said, "Indeed it's hard to beat; someone found it, but because no one could locate it, they could only watch it vanish helplessly."

Wu Lingdong handed out the roasted food and said, "When I reach Level 40, before my second job change, I might also come here to look for Nirvana Soul Crystals."

It's not only him who wants to find them; his teammates also want to.

Who wouldn't want a Profession Ascension?

Jiang Chen also understands this; it's understandable.

Yi Ning, who already has a Legendary Profession, if she ascends again, what will her profession become?

Moreover, from a perfect explanation, a Profession Ascension can occur twice.

Both the Level‑40 Second Transcendence and the Level‑70 Third Transcendence offer a chance for Profession Ascension.

"Could there be a rank higher than Mythological Class Profession?"

From the textbook, Jiang Chen knows that Mythological Class Profession is already top‑tier.

The Hidden Professions aren't in the ranking, so they can't be compared.

Lin Caier let out a bird‑like laugh, "I'll also go look for Nirvana Soul Crystals then."

Lin Caier's profession is Shadow Assassin, Rare tier.

If she can ascend, she will become an Abyss Hunter of Mythological Class Profession.

It can be said that everyone longs for a Profession Ascension.

The only problem lies with the Nirvana Soul Crystals.

Lin Caier looked at Jiang Chen, "Shall we go find the Nirvana Soul Crystals together then?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Alright."

He indeed

is a bit excited; if he also pursues a Profession Ascension, what enhancements could he gain?

There is no precedent; it's full of unknowns.

After resting for a while, fully fed and satisfied.

With the help of Delicious Fruit Wine, fatigue is purged.

Jiang Chen and Lin Caier entered the Instance again.

Wu Lingdong and his squad also left, heading to other Instances.

They have no Cooldown Talisman, so the 48‑hour cooldown won't be wasted.

During this period, besides resting, they will clear other Instances.

The "Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost Dungeon" Instance is rather special; it contains Dragon Race monsters that drop the Outpost Dungeon Set.

It also attracts the most participants among same‑level Instances.

To fulfill the material task assigned by Hong Jishi, Jiang Chen still needs to go back and grind.
