Chapter 248: Select a Talent! Rapid Casting! (Requesting Full Subscription)

"As expected, clearing the Abyss-level dungeon record unlocks a new talent!"

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.

Three A-Rank talents!!

The effect of each is excellent!

First is the first one, Tenacity!

40% physical damage reduction; for a tank role, it can be said to be a very compatible talent!

The second, Thorns Aura, is also very suitable for the tank role.

Take the heaviest hits, return the highest damage!

"Conventional Paladins do serve as support for heavy tanks, but for me, that is not the case..."

The physical damage reduction of the 'Tenacity' talent looks good, but Zhou Yi has already acquired the 'Holy Light Guard' skill, which can absorb physical damage.

Moreover, under the effect amplification of the S+ talent Divine Angel Guard, the cooldown of the 'Holy Light Guard' skill has already been shortened to about 40 seconds.

There is absolutely no need for this 'Tenacity' talent.

As for the second one, 'Thorns Aura', it is even more useless.

With this time, one could simply chop it down with an axe; why bother using reflected damage to grind it down slowly?

Of course...

As A-Rank talents, the effects of 'Tenacity' and 'Thorns Aura' can be considered formidable.

If there were no better talents available, perhaps Zhou Yi would have chosen one of them.

However...

With the final 'Rapid Casting' available, Zhou Yi naturally will not choose these two talents.

"As a fusion of melee and caster, if I possess the 'Rapid Casting' talent, my strength will further increase..."

The scope of spell skills is very broad; skills like 'Holy Storm' and 'Light's Punishment' are certainly included.

And the Paladin's signature buff skills can also receive the effect amplification of this talent.

That is to say, as long as this talent is chosen, most of one's skills will benefit from it.

Thinking this, Zhou Yi no longer hesitated and directly chose Talent 3!

Buzz—

Immediately, countless knowledge regarding the release of spell skills flooded into his mind.

This is a very wonderful feeling, as if this knowledge was originally known to him, and he has only just remembered it now.

This feeling comes quickly and goes quickly.

After the knowledge infusion was complete, Zhou Yi felt that his understanding of spells had reached a higher level!!

"I have the Rapid Casting talent!"

Zhou Yi immediately tested it several times.

The casting time of ordinary buff skills was shortened by a full 80%!!

The casting time of high-rank spell skills like 'Holy Storm' was also shortened by about 50%!!

"Indeed, a good talent brings an immeasurable strength increase to a practitioner!"

"Pity, each practitioner can only obtain an achievement talent once in the same dungeon."

"Otherwise, one could obtain new talents infinitely."

Zhou Yi thought so involuntarily.

Actually, last night, after learning of the news that the Abyss-level challenge difficulty had opened, he used his No. 001 ranking authority to check relevant materials on the school's official website.

The answer obtained was exactly this.

Even if the dungeon clear record is refreshed a second time, the same practitioner will only receive an achievement talent once.

It is impossible to obtain it multiple times.

"True; if achievement talents could truly be obtained an unlimited number of times, the nation would have long used this characteristic to mass-produce geniuses."

Shaking his head, Zhou Yi began to collect his loot—a pitch-black spiked club.

【Weapon: Gold-Shattering Spiked Club】

【Quality: Gold☆☆】

【Level Requirement: Level 22】

【Attributes: Strength +42, Constitution +44】

【Race Restriction: None】

【Class Restriction: Warrior, Knight】

【Effect: Each attack inflicts bleed damage.】

It is obvious that this Gold Rank Gold-Shattering Spiked Club is the one from the Goblin King's hand.

"The spiked club is useless to me; once back at the villa, I'll have Xiao Hei list it directly on the school Shangcheng."

It must be said, the school Shangcheng is very convenient.

The Gold Rank 'Totem Shi Zhu' Zhou Yi obtained in the Xiong Guai dungeon was bought by a student for 300 credits just two days after being listed.

Although a 20-credit handling fee must be deducted, the income of 280 credits still made him feel very satisfied.

Preparing to list the 'Gold-Shattering Spiked Club' obtained this time as well.

After storing the equipment into his backpack space.

Zhou Yi then allocated all the newly obtained free attributes.

As for skill points, he still left some aside.

After finishing the allocation, he glanced at his personal information panel again.

【Name: Zhou Yi】

【Class: Holy Knight】

【Level: 19 (18768/54000)】

【Talents: Divine Angel Guardian (S+), Death Resistance (S+), Quick Casting (A), Concentration Aura (A-), Titan Divine Pattern (B-), Magic Immunity (C+), Stone Skin (D-)】

【Skills: Hand of God LV1 (S-rank), Light's Punishment LV9 (A-rank), Holy Flame Halo LV1 (A-rank), Holy Light Guardian LV5 (B+ rank), Holy Fist Combo LV4 (B-rank), Holy Light Cross LV7 (B-rank), Holy Storm LV7 (B-rank)......】

【Attributes: Strength: 243, Constitution: 251, Agility: 234, Wisdom: 262】

【Special Bloodline: Frost Titan】

【Secret technique: Titan Divine Body (S+)】

Apart from the newly appeared talent and the four-dimensional attributes that had risen quite a bit, the experience value had also increased by roughly one-third.

"¨」Even clearing the Abyss difficulty only raised the experience by one-third. It seems that at level 19, Rank is already entering a stage where leveling up is relatively difficult."

Levels 1 to 10 for professionals are the easiest stage for Rank improvement.

At this stage, one only needs some special items provided by the nation to complete the level-up.

From level 10 to level 19, the experience required for leveling up is still very little, and one can raise it quickly.

But once one wants to level up from 19 to 20, the experience required is considerably more.

It can be said that throughout the entire Zhongxia Nation, quite a few professionals are stuck at level 19......

As for going further above level 20, the leveling difficulty is even greater!

Indeed, Gao Jie professionals can be seen everywhere in Suhang University.

Even some of the upper-year students are above level 20, and have even reached the Second Awakening!

But one must remember, this is the nation's top-tier university!

It's perfectly normal to have so many Gao Jie professionals.

At an ordinary professional university in the country, if the average level of enrolled students can reach 19, that's already quite impressive......

"Still two-thirds of the experience short to level up to 20."

"Then I'll wait until I have more credits before coming back."

All things considered, it's only been about two months since the college entrance exam.

Two months, from the original level 10, all the way to the current level 19.

It can be said that Zhou Yi's leveling speed is downright terrifying!!

And recently, 800 credits were spent on refining the Extreme Cold Pill, and now another 400 credits were spent entering the instance dungeon.

He only has roughly 1,000 credits left now.

1,000 credits looks like a lot, but in actual use, it'll be spent in no time.

Now that the most important achievement talent has already been obtained, Zhou Yi isn't in a particular hurry about Rank improvement.

"Phew, time to head back."

After taking one last look around and confirming nothing was left behind.

Zhou Yi then disappeared on the spot through a Return Scroll.
