Chapter 140: Flashing Skill Scroll, the Professionals' Tournament Arrives

After the freshman ceremony ended, the newly arrived freshmen were considered officially enrolled in Shenlong University.

Inside Shenlong University, the mentors were giving lectures to the freshmen.

Some basic knowledge had already been learned in high school.

However, after entering university, the mentors began explaining more profound knowledge, including detailed analyses of various profession skills, practical application techniques, the worldwide distribution of instances of all levels, BOSS classifications, and various combat strategies.

In addition, there were detailed explanations about the Abyss, the types of Abyssal monsters, precautions, and so on, knowledge that could not be accessed in high school.

Jiang Chen walked into the Library.

He didn't have much time to listen to the mentors' explanations, because Hong Jishi told him a new task needed to be completed.

He needed to learn about the Abyss, so he decided to search for relevant data in the Library himself.

The various knowledge the mentors explained all had corresponding materials in the Library.

Moreover, the Library's knowledge is also classified by level; any level of content requires payment of the appropriate points to access.

The Library was very quiet; the students inside seemed highly focused and made little sound.

Jiang Chen had just entered the Library when he heard a familiar voice.

It was Chu Yao's voice, with a hint of surprise: "Jiang Chen, classmate."

Chu Yao stood there, greeting Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled, "What a coincidence."

He had a good impression of Chu Yao, because in the Dungeon Hall she had helped him a lot, making her his first friend at Shenlong University.

Jiang Chen didn't have many friends, so each friend

he cherished.

Chu Yao smiled and said, "I'm earning points; would you like me to be your guide? I can introduce things and save you time, for just 100 points."

"Alright."

Jiang Chen straightforwardly paid her 100 points.

Chu Yao sweetly smiled, "Jiang Chen, you're so straightforward; then let me give you a tour of the Library."

"Our Shenlong University Library is divided into many sections, including Skill Area, Dungeon Area, Monster Area, BOSS Area, Abyss Area..."

"All materials are also divided into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced; Beginner materials correspond to content below Level 40..."

Under Chu Yao's detailed introduction, Jiang Chen quickly understood the Library's sectional classifications.

If he were to search on his own, it would likely take a lot of time.

According to university regulations, a Beginner data sheet can be viewed for 10 points.

The price isn't high.

The key issue is the sheer volume of data, countless tightly packed cabinets; Jiang Chen felt a bit at a loss.

Chu Yao first gave a brief overview, then smiled and asked, "Jiang Chen, what kind of data would you like to see?"

"I want to see data about the Abyss and the Alien Battlefield."

Chu Yao quickly led Jiang Chen to the area storing Abyss data.

Inside were the terrain of the Alien Battlefield, monster distributions, their weaknesses, precautions, and various other details.

Chu Yao swiftly selected several files for Jiang Chen: "These will do; Beginner data, corresponding to professionals below Level 40, and also to Abyssal monsters below Level 40."

The data are individual cards that can only be viewed in the Library and cannot be taken out.

"Alright, Jiang

Chen, find a spot to sit and read slowly; I won't disturb you."

Chu Yao smiled and left; the task was completed, and she received 100 points.

He found a corner spot, sat down alone, and began reviewing the data.

The card activated, projecting a Light Screen.

The Light Screen displayed large blocks of text and numerous pictures.

Vividly illustrated.

Jiang Chen read very attentively, going through each file one by one.

The data Chu Yao recommended were comprehensive.

They included information on the Alien Battlefield, monster distributions in each zone, and level environments.

Gradually, a rough map of the Alien Battlefield formed in Jiang Chen's mind.

Shenlong Empire, Eternal Great Wall, together have nine Fortresses.

Among them, Fortress No. 9 lies at the deepest part of the Alien Battlefield, very close to the Abyss Entrance.

That place is extremely dangerous; monster levels are high, Abyssal forces can be felt, and high‑level Abyssal monsters occasionally attack.

The area around Fortress No. 9 is also extremely hazardous, with combat constantly ongoing.

Like Shenlong Empire, building fortresses into the deep of the Alien Battlefield, there are few such nations.

This also demonstrates Shenlong Empire's might.

Through these data, Jiang Chen also learned the basic situation of the Abyss.

The Abyssal Demon Dog and Abyssal Dog Demon he killed are the most inconspicuous beings in the Abyss, trash among trash.

Dog Demons can barely be considered cannon fodder.

Demon Dogs are even just creations bred by Dog Demons, not even cannon fodder.

The Human Race, up to now, knows only the surface of the Abyss.

The only certainty is that countless demons inhabit the Abyss, and the Abyss Demon King is extremely powerful.

Otherwise, a top-tier powerhouse like Hong Shen would have already slain his way into the Abyss.

Unnoticed, night fell.

Jiang Chen's Communicator vibrated briefly.

"Introduction to the 100th Professional Competition"

"It's finally here."

Jiang Chen set down the data card and began reviewing the specific information about the Professional Competition.

At the same time, every Communicator belonging to professionals worldwide displayed information about the Professional Competition.

The Professional Competition had been held 99 times; this year is the 100th.

Held every five years, it now boasts a 500‑year history.

The Shenlong Empire, as host, has made this edition unprecedentedly grand.

Countless professionals became excited and thrilled upon receiving the competition notice.

"Sign up, I'm going to sign up."

"Why the hurry? Look at the rewards."

"I'm going, the reward is that great!"

"My god, the Champion Rewards for each category are amazing, better than any previous time!"

"I really want it..."

That night, the whole world was excited and thrilled.

Jiang Chen finished reading the rules and smiled.

Team Competition, Solo Competition, Challenge Competition.

Below Level 20, Level 20 to 29, Level 30 to 39...

The competition is divided into tiers by Level 10.

The regular competition includes two types: Solo Competition and Team Competition.

In addition, there is a special‑format Challenge Competition.

The Champion Rewards for each category are excellent, and Jiang Chen felt a twinge of envy.

The Communicator rang, sounding abrupt and harsh in the Library.

Jiang Chen hurried to the outside of the Library.

"Cai Er, what's wrong?"

On the other end of the Communicator, Lin Caier's crisp voice sounded like a warbler.

"Did you see? The Professional Competition is about to start."

"Did you see the rewards?"

Lin Caier excitedly shouted, "Hehe, I and

you form a team, we'll sign up together."

"I didn't expect the Empire to be so generous, actually offering so many great items."

"I'll come find you early tomorrow, and we'll go sign up together."

Listening to Lin Caier'er's excited voice, Jiang Chen also smiled.

"Alright."

This time the Shenlong Empire laid out a big budget, presenting many fine items.

In the Team Competition for Below Level 40, each category's champion can receive a Beginner Flashing Skill Scroll, a Beginner Magic Potion, and 50 million Gold Coins.

What Jiang Chen covets is that Beginner Flashing Skill Scroll.

The Beginner Flashing Skill Scroll is extremely Rare; it cannot be bought at the Exchange at all.

Skill Scrolls are crafted by Enchanters; an Enchanter must produce hundreds or thousands of Beginner Skill Scrolls before a Beginner Flashing Skill Scroll can appear.

A Beginner Flashing Skill Scroll can guarantee a professional to master a skill they have not yet mastered.

Jiang Chen really needs this thing.

Another reward is a Beginner Magic Potion, which permanently raises all base attributes by 200.

An increase of 200 points may not seem much, even less than a piece of Gold gear.

But those are base attributes.

Starting from Platinum gear, some equipment bonuses are calculated by percentage.

The stronger the base attributes, the better the effect after equipping gear.

Next comes the Solo Competition.

For Below Level 40, each category's Solo Competition champion can receive a Beginner Magic Potion.

A Beginner Magic Potion can be used only once per person and cannot be reused.

Jiang Chen and Lin Caier each get one.

Finally, the Challenge Competition.

The specific rules and rewards for the Challenge Competition have not been released yet; they will be announced at the competition.

But this

, has already made every aspiring contestant excited and eager...
