Chapter 343: Test Blast

Time gradually left its mark on Li En, and the dragon vein continued to mature with the passage of time.

【Biological Rank: Bai Yin, Status: Strength 16 (18), Physique 15, Agility 12, Spirit 15】

【Class: Third-Rank Holy Knight, First-Rank Masked Dragon Knight (Magic Binder), Second-Rank Mage, Second-Rank Warrior, Second-Rank Priest, Second-Rank Transmuter, First-Rank Dragon Tongue Speaker.】

For a Bai Yin-blooded individual, Li En's stats are downright luxurious—this is wielding Gold-tier attributes as a Bai Yin, but considering dragons and dragonkin are generally stat monsters, it seems somewhat normal.

What's abnormal has always been his absurdly long list of classes.

Acquiring each extraordinary class, even with considerable talent, takes at least half a year; for a mage, becoming a full-fledged mage in two or three years already qualifies one as a prodigy.

A class is the aggregate of an individual's life, a "life journey" earned through time and vitality.

Taking multiple classes isn't impossible, but the time and life consumed are precious.

More importantly, the operational logic of many classes is inherently contradictory.

For instance, warriors emphasize bold advancement, while spellcasters deliberate before acting; even disregarding personal suitability for a class, the mere contradiction in combat style, thought process, and cultivation path makes multiclassing utterly uneconomical.

After all, no matter how many First-Rank classes you stack, you're unlikely to defeat a Grand Warrior.

"It seems that once I reach Third-Rank Mage and master Fireball, I can attempt challenging a regular Grand Warrior above Fifth-Rank without using Dragon Tongue."

In truth, Li En already has the confidence to fight one, though not necessarily win easily.

Previously, his powers were too scattered; in reality, his only true offensive ability was Exorcism Slash, lacking a genuinely stable heavy-hitting weapon.

What now gives him confidence is the "fireball" slowly gathering on his arm.

Ember Ball, a first-tier elemental fireball, now hovers at Li En's fingertip.

One, two—Li En, requiring focused casting, effortlessly completed the most difficult dual-casting.

The clustered small fireballs, under Li En's control, slowly drifted toward

"Sss!"

In an instant, they naturally merged into a single fist-sized blazing fireball.

Feeling the light and heat before him, Li En's sweat dripped—he sensed one flaw in this spell compared to traditional fireballs.

With a normal casting fireball, you'd just throw it out now.

But now, he must maintain its stability and smooth fusion; the fireball naturally hovers close, and if he mishandles it, it might explode and take him out first.

"No wonder they say pyromancers' most important skill is fireproofing—playing with fireballs, who isn't bound to get blown up?"

Just like those who play with electricity—they grow used to getting shocked; the real point is whether you survive after being blasted, electrocuted, or frozen.

Li En grew even more focused; if he mishandled this, he might truly injure himself badly.

Li En carefully raised the fireball, gradually activating it.

"Full combustion."

A faint red glow flickered across Li En's palms—he successfully activated Divine Grace.

The power of Divine Grace gradually enveloped the flame, yet Li En still subconsciously calculated.

"A standard fireball's range is twenty to sixty meters, its damage radius six to eight meters."

Li En gazed at the target ahead—roughly thirty meters away, safely within range.

"Go!"

Li En chose to "release," letting it fly and detonate at the preset target.
