Chapter 337: Panel Astonishes the Three, Hong Jishi

After undergoing a profession promotion, I can automatically master Level 40 skills without having to use Skill Scrolls.

The system, while awakening new skills, also optimized and merged my existing skills.

Jiang Chen checked one by one; most skills showed no change, only further enhancement.

The first skill to change was Light Blessing.

The Light Blessing skill that was originally obtained through Light Gem vanished and merged with the newly acquired skill.

Light Blessing transformed into a passive skill: Status Immunity.

It is described as "Status Immunity: immune to all negative statuses," which includes Curse, Control, Seal, and other conditions.

Light Blessing was originally an active skill that lasted 30 minutes per use, with a 30‑minute cooldown.

Now it is a passive skill, requiring no deliberate activation, and it constantly maintains immunity.

Jiang Chen understood that this is a unique passive skill scarcely found in other professions.

The second skill that changed was Jiang Chen's two most frequently used Curse skills.

Slow Curse and Damage Curse fused to form a brand‑new skill: Aging Curse.

It is described as "Aging Curse (Level 40): curses all enemies within a 100‑meter radius, reducing speed by 100 %, increasing damage taken by 30 %, duration 1 minute."

The fusion weakened the portion that originally belonged to Slow Curse.

In the new skill, the Curse range becomes 100 meters, and the enemy's speed reduction is reduced by onefold.

For the original Damage Curse, the damage increase remains unchanged, but the range has expanded considerably.

Under the Perfect Amplification talent bonus, enemy speed will be reduced by 50 times, and damage taken will increase by 15 times.

The two merged, complementing each other, achieving a dual‑effect Curse that compensates for the inability of curses to coexist.

In combat, Jiang Chen no longer needs to make a choice.

The third skill.

During the Second Transcendence, Jiang Chen awakened a new skill: Blood Curse.

Subsequently, Blood Curse merged with Poison Star Ring, becoming a new skill: Poison Star Explosion.

"Poison Star Explosion (Level 40): deals a poison attack to all enemies within a 100‑meter radius, causing each enemy to take damage equal to 400 strength per second, duration 100 seconds."

This skill retained its original power, while its range and duration increased dramatically.

With such massive area damage and no corpses left, this skill will be Jiang Chen's strongest Group Attack Skill.

It deals 20,000 strength‑type damage per second, lasting a full 5,000 seconds.

The total damage is staggering.

If combined with the Primordial Rune's "Strong Soldier" skill, Poison Star Explosion's lethality becomes terrifying.

After reviewing the three changed skills, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to his new skill: Summon Skeleton Archer.

"Summon Skeleton Archer (Level 1): summons a Black Iron‑level Skeleton Archer."

The appearance of the Archer signifies that he now possesses a ranged physical strike capability.

Undead Legion members increase again, and the battle‑magic bow is ready.

Jiang Chen calculated that, after the second Job Change, he has mastered three new skills in total.

Two of those skills have merged with previously mastered skills.

The only truly added skill is Summon Skeleton Archer.

Besides that, the other two major Summon skills also changed.

"Summon Skeleton Berserker (Level 40): summons a Platinum‑tier Skeleton Berserker."

"Summon Skeleton Great Mage (Level 40): summons a Platinum‑tier Skeleton Great Mage."

Although he hasn't examined the exact attributes yet, it's clear without saying that they are definitely more powerful.

After reviewing the skills, Jiang Chen also noticed several changes.

Summon Queue increased; since the first Job Change, each level up adds 10 Summon Queues.

At Level 39 it is 390 Summon Queues.

Normally, Level 40 should be 400 Summon Queues.

After this Profession Ascension, Summon Queues became 600, a full 50 % increase.

The number of Undead Legion members a Lich General can command equals the Summon Queue.

That is, each Lich General can command 600 Skeletons.

A 20‑member Lich General Undead Legion will have 12,000 Skeletons.

A Ten‑Thousand Legion thus takes shape.

Add to that the Skeletons' terrifying attributes.

It's simply unimaginable.

Jiang Chen feels he can walk horizontally through any Instance.

Another change is that titles and equipment have both vanished.

Title attributes disappeared.

All equipment became unusable.

Although he still wears the gear, he can't feel any of its bonuses.

Jiang Chen thinks this may be due to his own profession.

Previously he simply could not enjoy the status bonuses provided by support.

Now even titles and equipment bonuses have failed.

"I have to rely entirely on myself!"

Jiang Chen whispered to himself, exhaling a long breath.

No matter what, it's already strong enough.

Now the Spirit is limitless, attributes are soaring, and it doesn't matter even without a title or equipment.

The second Job Change yielded huge gains.

Attributes have fully broken through, Divine-level Talent, the optimized new Skills—none of them are weak.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes and saw Hong Jishi and the other two drinking tea beside him.

They seemed completely indifferent to their Job Change situation, but Hong Jishi's occasional glances made it clear that wasn't the case.

Jiang Chen kept it to himself and didn't point it out.

"Teacher, Senior Li, my Job Change is complete."

"Thank you to the two teachers and the senior for their support."

Jiang Chen respectfully brewed tea and poured water for the three.

Hong Jishi let out a lingering hum, "How is it? Tell me."

They could all see that Jiang Chen's new profession is Undead Monarch.

It is also a new profession that has never appeared in Human Race history.

Jiang Chen listed all the talents and Skills he had obtained.

When mentioning the New Talent gained this time, it fused with the talent previously obtained through Dragon Crystal, forming an entirely new Divine-level Talent.

Hong Jishi and Ao Hongchen both showed shocked expressions and simultaneously blurted, "How is that possible!"

Only Li Xueru remained slightly composed, clearing his throat twice, "Don't make a fuss; talent fusion has occurred in history."

The two were instantly distracted and looked at Li Xueru.

Hong Jishi said, "How could I not know? Lao Li, you mustn't fool me."

Li Xueru continued, "The *Empire Great Chronicle* records this on pages 73, 256, and 399; you can look it up yourselves."

"Not only talents can fuse, Skills can also fuse. That's why you two have read too little; the rarer you see, the stranger it seems."

Jiang Chen let out a sigh; he truly didn't know how to explain it.

It turned out that humans have also experienced talent and Skill fusion.

That's good, that's good, so I won't have to make up another excuse.

Li Xueru asked, "What are your attributes now?"

Jiang Chen answered truthfully, "Spirit Attribute just broke past 100,000, and the other three attributes are 47,850."

Ao Hongchen sipped his tea and nodded lightly, "Hmm, total attributes 150,000; after subtracting the Heart‑protecting Meat bonus, there are 70,000 total attributes. That's pretty good, higher than other professions."

"Wait..." Hong Jishi suddenly called out, "Xiao Chen, when you mentioned his other three attributes, did you mean the sum or each individually?"

Jiang Chen replied, "Each is 47,850."

Pfft!

Ao Hongchen gulped and sprayed the tea, covering Hong Jishi's face.

He shrieked oddly, "Then isn't your total attribute 250,000?"

Jiang Chen hummed and openly admitted it.

Even though Ao Hongchen is a Divine-level Strongman, he can no longer contain his inner excitement.

Level 40, attributes several times higher than other professions.

Hong Jishi drank another cup of tea, and a slightly excited voice came from his throat, "Your total attributes already exceed those of Mid-level Mythic Profession practitioners by several folds; you're practically a humanoid BOSS, a World BOSS."

Jiang Chen smiled, "It's all thanks to the teachers' arrangements."

"If it weren't for Teacher Ao's Heart‑protecting Meat and Teacher Hong's Job Transfer Array for me,"

"and Senior Li's admonitions and teachings, I certainly wouldn't have reached my current attributes."

He decisively credited the three, and this flattering praise pleased Hong Jishi and the others.

Ao Hongchen didn't take all the credit, "That can't be separated from your own effort."

Hong Jishi waved his hand broadly and tossed a small box into Jiang Chen's hands.

"These are for you, a congratulatory gift for your successful Job Change."

Jiang Chen opened it curiously.

A dazzling light burst from the box, accompanied by intense elemental fluctuations.

Inside the box lay three pieces of jewelry neatly arranged: a Ring, earrings, and a necklace.

They turned out to be three BOSS Jewelry!

And a Talisman.
