Chapter 116

Before Lao Tang could speak, Li Ang stood up, feeling somewhat weak: "Let me catch my breath first."

He had truly seen his life flash before his eyes just now and had almost couldn't resist activating "Triple Inversion," but fortunately, the job change notification popped up just in time.

However, when he saw the message on the job change notification stating that [Dragon-Vein Alchemist] had undergone unknown changes, he couldn't help but be stunned.

'Could it be because I used blood at the Dragon King level?'

With doubts, he carefully checked the detailed information of [Dragon-Vein Alchemist].

——

[Job: Dragon-Vein Alchemist]

[Level: 1/15 (0/1000)]

[Attribute Bonus: Body Strength +6 per level, Mental Strength +6 per level, Energy +10 per level]

[Job Skill: Spirit Word · Monarch Flame]

[Job Specialty: Dragon King · Might, Scorching Body, Dragon's Greed, Intermediate Enchantment Mastery]

[Job Change Path: Dragon-Born Alchemy Grandmaster]

——

[Spirit Word · Monarch Flame: After meditation, explosively ignite the fire elements in the surrounding environment to form high temperature, high heat, and shockwaves.]

[Scorching Body: Slightly reduce fire-type damage received.]

[Dragon's Greed: Slightly reduce the materials required when refining alchemy items.]

[Intermediate Enchantment Mastery: Moderately increase the success rate of alchemy enchantment work.]

[Dragon King · Might: Your body strength will receive a 1.1 attribute modifier.]

As Li Ang successfully took the job of [Dragon-Vein Alchemist], the energy level information on his main panel also changed to 2.

And when he first saw the attribute bonus of [Dragon-Vein Alchemist], he thought he had misread it.

After repeatedly confirming he hadn't misread it, he couldn't help but gasp.

Because the attribute bonuses provided by a second-level job and a first-level job were completely worlds apart; the attributes of a maxed-out [Hybrid] couldn't even compare to the attributes provided by one level of [Dragon-Vein Alchemist].

'If such a huge change happened from the first energy level to the second, how big would the gap be between the third and fourth?'

Li Ang couldn't know, and based on this information, he could infer that the waters of the previous world were likely much deeper than he had imagined.

Admittedly, part of the reason [Dragon-Vein Alchemist] had such huge attribute bonuses was because he used Constantine's blood, rather than just finding a random Third-Generation.

But even if the attribute bonus were halved, it would still be an extremely exaggerated increase compared to a first-level job.

Perhaps when just reaching the second energy level, there wouldn't be a huge gap between the two sides, but as the time a job-holder spent at the second energy level grew longer, the distance between the two would one day become an insurmountable chasm.

'Is this what they call the strong getting stronger?'

Li Ang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Undoubtedly, job-holders were a snowball system; the higher the attribute bonus brought by early jobs, the greater the help for subsequent job changes.

It was no wonder the Federation strictly controlled job information.

Li Ang continued reading, and then he saw [Dragon King · Might] among the job specialties.

He was certain that this specialty was not in the previous job change information.

'So, it really is because I used Constantine's blood that [Dragon-Vein Alchemist] changed? Does this mean certain specific job change conditions affect the strength of the job after changing?'

Li Ang couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he used Norton's blood to complete the job change.

Would he acquire a new specialty called [Dragon King · Authority]? Or would he be able to master all the Spirit Words of the [Bronze and Fire] sequence?

But unfortunately, he couldn't try it again.

After simply calming his mood, Li Ang looked at the subsequent job change path.

Like [Alchemist (Sanyi)], [Dragon-Vein Alchemist] only had one job change path.

Of course, it didn't exclude the possibility that he might trigger some strange job change paths when he started a new journey to another world later.

Just like how [Dragon-Vein Alchemist] didn't appear in the job change path of [Craftsman Apprentice (Alchemy)] at the very beginning.

Just as Li Ang was checking the job information, Lao Tang was observing him carefully.

'Did it really succeed?'

In the perception of this King of Bronze and Fire, the aura Li Ang was emitting at this moment was almost identical to Constantine's; if the egg weren't right behind him, he would have thought his younger brother had broken out of the cocoon early.

At this time, Li Ang withdrew his attention, exhaled lightly, and said: "Lao Tang, let's have Samson take us up next."

"It's time to let those hybrids see us, the two Kings of Bronze and Fire."

When he saw his race change to [Human, Dragon], Li Ang knew there was already a sad, thick barrier between him and the hybrids in the Dragon world.

Hearing this, Lao Tang nodded slightly in agreement with Li Ang's words, and then the snake-like giant dragon slowly crawled into the massive bronze palace.

But when Samson saw the hybrid his master had brought into the Bronze City earlier, his brain couldn't help but enter a state of system failure.

"My... my master?!"

This Second-Generation felt the aura of his other master on Li Ang.

But in his eyes, the other master was currently sleeping quietly in an egg like amber.

Before he could figure out what had happened, he heard Lao Tang speak: "Samson, from today on, he is your third master. Outside, you must treat him as you treat Constantine."

"...Yes, my master."

Samson suppressed his doubts and bowed his head submissively.

As a servant of the King of Bronze and Fire, he absolutely obeyed Lao Tang's orders.

Seeing this, Lao Tang leaped lightly onto the top of Samson's head, then looked at Li Ang on the ground: "I have fulfilled the conditions you proposed; now it's your turn to help me divert the attention of those hybrids away from the Bronze City."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Li Ang's face: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who breaks his word."

As he spoke, he also leaped onto the top of Samson's head.

"Right now, the vast majority of Shenzhou's hybrid factions should have gathered here; it's the perfect time to announce my existence to them."

"Let's go, Samson."

As the words fell, the snake-like giant dragon crawled out of the bronze palace and then quickly surfaced, carrying Li Ang and Lao Tang straight through the water's surface.

Such a huge disturbance naturally caught the attention of the Shenzhou hybrids.

By the time they finished assembling, they discovered that two figures were now standing on top of the Second-Generation dragon that had appeared several times before.

Although the two were tiny compared to the giant dragon beneath their feet, those two pairs of golden pupils, like raging suns, invisibly gripped everyone's hearts.

At this moment, everyone present realized one thing with absolute clarity.

That is...

The King of Bronze and Fire has appeared.
