Chapter 427: Awaken All Current Skills, Begin Training Skills

Hong Jishi's voice carried a tone of astonishment, "Did you really find it?"

Jiang Chen replied, "I'm not sure; it might just be an illusion."

He now recalls that those images seemed somewhat unreal, even wondering whether they were an illusion.

Li Xueru pressed, "Tell me, what did you see?"

Jiang Chen recalled carefully, "I saw a pitch‑black void with a single point of light; when that point burst, I saw several other points."

"Each point seemed to represent a Skill, but they were all dormant."

Jiang Chen described in detail, "I can't explain the specifics."

Li Xueru felt very confident about Jiang Chen's description, knowing that Jiang Chen was ninety‑plus percent certain he had found it.

"It should be correct," Li Xueru affirmed, "What does that space remind you of?"

Jiang Chen strained to recall, "It seemed like a starry sky, each point like a dormant, extinguished star."

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's description, Li Xueru and Hong Jishi both showed surprise.

Jiang Chen asked perplexedly, "Master, is something wrong?"

Li Xueru shook their head, "Nothing's wrong; everyone sees something different. What you must do is firmly remember this feeling."

He continued, "When you reach Level 60, Level 70, and Level 80, each Awakening Skill is an opportunity. You must repeatedly experience this feeling, go into that space that belongs only to you, observe carefully, and truly comprehend."

"In this regard, no one can help you; you can only rely on yourself to comprehend," Li Xueru emphasized.

Jiang Chen asked further, "Master, is there any particular principle to this?" Hong

Jishi wanted to speak but was silenced by Li Xueru's glance.

Li Xueru said, "That's all I can tell you; the more you know, the more harmful it becomes for you."

"You must understand that everyone is different, even within the same profession."

"Other people's experience is of no use to you; you can only rely on yourself."

Li Xueru repeated once more: you can only rely on yourself.

Jiang Chen recorded it firmly.

He knew it wasn't that Li Xueru was unwilling to tell him, but that they truly could not.

Perhaps speaking too much would truly be harmful and useless to himself.

He seemed to have stepped into a wondrous realm that is indescribable.

Unlike others, who use Skill Scrolls and awaken instantly or not at all.

He was bewildered and knew nothing.

He, however, began to pursue the origin of Skills, and the two were already on different levels.

Jiang Chen asked no further, "I have memorized it."

Hong Jishi leaned in and asked, "So, what Skills have you awakened?"

Jiang Chen said, "I have awakened three Skills: Lightning Nether Spirit Wings, Summon Elemental Lich, and Bone Prison."

"They are respectively flight, summoning, and control."

He recounted the effects of the three Skills.

Hong Jishi clicked his tongue twice, "Good, your profession is becoming more versatile."

Jiang Chen's profession indeed was developing toward greater versatility.

Core summoning Skills were increasing, while flight and control Skills were also being added.

Although after Level 70 everyone can master flight ability.

Having a flight Skill or not still makes a difference.

Professions with flight Skills far surpass those without in speed and agility.

Li Xueru said,

"Try using a Flash Scroll and see if anything is missing."

Awakening at Level 50 to master three new Skills is neither too many nor too few; it is a normal level.

Nevertheless, just in case, it still needs to be checked.

Now the thousand Intermediate Skill Scrolls Jiang Chen brought are down to fewer than a few dozen, far insufficient to continue using.

He can only try a Flash Scroll.

Fortunately, Si Tu Liang just delivered ten, adding to the four Jiang Chen already had.

Fourteen Flash Scrolls; losing one wouldn't be too painful.

Jiang Chen, not wanting any omission, immediately used one Flash Scroll.

The Flash Scroll burst forth a sky full of starlight, multicolored and dazzling, very beautiful.

Compared with ordinary Skill Scrolls, it is far more beautiful.

Jiang Chen clearly felt a massive mysterious force surge from the Flash Scroll into his body, seemingly stirring certain aspects of his being.

Its effect is more than hundreds of times stronger than that of ordinary Skill Scrolls.

Jiang Chen instantly understood why a Flash Skill Scroll can awaken Skills with a hundred percent success rate.

Mainly because the mysterious power it contains is too strong.

At this moment Jiang Chen felt a sense of knowing why, and even knowing the reason behind it.

If he still had Skills not yet mastered, they would surely be stirred, producing a different feeling.

But this time there was no feeling at all.

Jiang Chen confirmed that all his Level 50 Skills had already awakened, with no omissions.

Li Xueru said, "Good that there are no omissions. Are you planning to go to the Ancient Battlefield?"

Jiang Chen said, "I intend to refine my Skills first, then head to the Ancient Battlefield."

Among the three new Skills, except that Lightning Nether Spirit Wings is more troublesome to cultivate and requires a lot of time to fill.

For the other two Skills, Jiang Chen has

grasping them and cultivating them to completion in a short time.

"Alright, I'll find you a Teleportation Point in the next few days." To go to Ancient Battlefield, the most convenient way is still to have Li Xueru use Shenlong Tower to send you over.

Otherwise, a large amount of transfer would be needed, which is more troublesome.

"Thank you, teacher, then I'll go cultivate the Skill first."

Leaving Hong Shen Courtyard, Jiang Chen doesn't want to waste any time and goes straight to the Exchange.

Cultivating the Summon Elemental Lich requires consuming materials bearing various elemental attributes.

The materials don't need to be of high quality during cultivation.

Only after it is shaped does a high‑grade material become necessary to summon the Elemental Lich.

Once an Elemental Lich is summoned, it will persist indefinitely as long as it does not die.

Unless Jiang Chen summons a new Lich of the same element, or actively dispels the summoning.

Liches of different elements can coexist, but only one Lich of the same element can exist at a time.

Jiang Chen begins sweeping through the Exchange for materials with attributes.

Because he's only cultivating the Skill, the Sweep targets only those low‑tier materials of a dozen‑plus levels.

As long as the price is cheap enough, having the attribute is sufficient.

He now still has 2 billion Gold Coins, more than enough to buy these low‑tier materials.

A Flame Flower with the fire attribute can be bought for just a small amount of Gold Coins per blossom.

The Azure Ice with the water attribute is also very cheap.

Low‑tier materials aren't expensive.

To be safe, after buying a Flame Flower, Jiang Chen immediately tested it.

He confirmed it can summon a Fire Elemental Lich, then felt comfortable purchasing.

The low‑tier attribute materials in the Exchange were almost swept clean by Jiang Chen.

He spent nearly 300 million, buying one hundred thousand of each type.

After calculating that it should be about enough, Jiang Chen satisfiedly went to the Dungeon Hall.

He still chose the "Beast God Plateau" Instance.

The environment here is relatively open, the temperature pleasant, the air clear, making it a bit more comfortable to practice the Skill.

The most crucial point is that Jiang Chen is lazy, too lazy to pick an unknown Instance.

Since he just reached Level 50 and can still enter, he chose this place.

Skill: Lightning Nether Spirit Wings!

Zila— a soft sound, a pair of wings instantly appeared behind Jiang Chen.

The wings spanned over three meters, woven from countless bones, entirely pure and flawless.

Electric sparks danced on the bones, producing a crackle.

The next second, Jiang Chen transformed into a bolt of lightning soaring straight into the sky.

His flight speed was extremely fast, leaving a long streak of lightning in the air.

Jiang Chen calculated the speed at about 500 meters per second, much slower than the previous Lightning Wings.

However, the Skill is only at level 1 now; once the Skill level rises, the speed will increase.

Jiang Chen descended from the sky and retracted the Skill.

Although the flight time can be seamlessly connected, allowing prolonged flight.

But to further boost the speed, the Skill level must be raised.

Cultivating the Skill progresses very slowly, once every ten minutes, so only time can fill it.

Then Jiang Chen took out a pile of materials and placed them before himself.

He began cultivating the Summon Elemental Lich Skill.

As the Skill activated, a ball of white flame appeared in his palm.

A Lich no larger than a fist leapt out of the flame and flew to Jiang Chen's front.

The Lich can fly—unexpected.

The petite Lich didn't look terrifying; instead it was somewhat cute.

It circled Jiang Chen slowly.

At level 1 its attribute is still indiscernible, and Jiang Chen didn't intend to check, preferring to raise the level first before

speaking.

The next second, another Fire Lich leapt out, and the previous one instantly turned into a burst of flame and vanished without a trace.

Liches of the same element can only have one existing at a time.

This is a limitation of the Skill, and Jiang Chen cannot change it.

He continuously summons Liches while also cultivating the Lightning Nether Spirit Wings, which can only be used once every ten minutes.
