10: Dance Of The Dead

Skills with no upgrade limit are collectively referred to as "rare skills."

The top students at the provincial level who qualify to compete for the top 100 will possess rare skills.

Both four-dimensional points and skill points can be obtained by upgrading and killing monsters in secret realms.

However, Ling Zhan has an additional advantage: the strongest auxiliary occupation system.

The reason his four-dimensional point count is significantly higher than others is because he has completed the daily tasks issued by the system.

Let's discuss Ling Zhan's natal talent.

He possesses three natal talents: Equipment Controller, Magic Power Controller, and Almighty.

Equipment Master (F): Allows proficiency in primary weapons of any profession and increases equipment switching speed.

Magic Master (E): Greatly enhances basic mana recovery speed, extra recovery speed, and reduces skill cooldowns.

Almighty (F): Raises all professional skill levels by one.

Personal information panels are highly confidential, and individuals can choose not to make them public.

If the panel information is not made public, the Appraisal Eye skill cannot see through others' basic panels.

Ling Zhan, of course, opted not to disclose his panel information.

Consequently, even the teacher remains unaware of Ling Zhan's natal talent and four-dimensional panel.

With the Magic Power Master talent, Ling Zhan can unleash his professional primary skills without hesitation.

The mana consumption for using skills as an unemployed casual player is minimal, and the consumption for professional primary skills is only slightly higher.

When combined with the Magic Power Controller talent, Ling Zhan becomes a skill machine gun!

Furthermore, with the Equipment Master talent, Ling Zhan can swiftly switch between professional weapons in half a second and demonstrate proficiency with each of them.

As for Almighty...

It is the reason why observers outside are amazed by the power of Ling Zhan's skills.

Additionally, Almighty is the novice gift package bestowed upon Ling Zhan by the system.

With this incredibly potent natal talent, Ling Zhan can even forcibly raise the level of primary skills in professions that cannot be upgraded.

The level of vocational primary skills is typically designated as (F).

With Almighty, Ling Zhan can upgrade all professional primary skills to [F+].

If Ling Zhan were to reveal his three natal talents, it is estimated that everyone would be shocked.

He doesn't aspire to be the center of attention or hold a superior position; he simply aims to develop honestly and maintain a low profile.

However, unbeknownst to him, his previous performance has sparked strong curiosity among the audience outside the secret realm.

"Warning: Stepping over the light curtain will enter the perimeter of the secret area. Candidates are advised to consider carefully!"

Ling Zhan looked up and found himself at the innermost edge of the secret realm. In front of him stood a bronze gate, and without hesitation, he pushed it open and stepped inside.

"Roar!"

As the bronze door swung open, Ling Zhan found himself teleported to a palace made of yellow sand. It was inhabited by countless evil emperor poisonous scorpions, and low roars echoed from the depths of the palace. Mutated versions of these scorpions were also present, indicated by the blue light above their heads, signifying that they were quasi-elite monsters.

"Heh! As expected of the inner circle, even the lowest-level mobs are quasi-elite monsters!" Ling Zhan chuckled lightly, showing no signs of nervousness.

"What! Is this the secret boundary? Even the lowest-level monsters have blue names!"

"Senior Ling Zhan might be in trouble now!"

"The main issue is that these quasi-elite monsters are difficult to deal with, and there are so many of them!"

Outside the secret realm, in the auditorium, countless students felt their scalps go numb upon seeing the densely packed scorpions, most of which were blue monsters.

The difficulty of this challenge had risen significantly.

"If he took out his bow and arrow!"

"Is he going to become a shooter!?"

"The shooter has high attack power and an armor-piercing effect, which is effective against quasi-elite monsters that have high defense!"

"As the long-range physical core output of the team, the shooter's attack power is unquestionable, but they are also fragile..."

"Wow, is Senior Ling Zhan really proficient in all professional weapons? That's too incredible!"

"Let's wait and see!"

Amidst the excitement of the students, the senior teacher spoke again:

"If things go as expected, Ling Zhan is about to give us a lesson on being a shooter. Watch and learn!"

"The shooter is an essential core damage dealer in every team."

"The shooter possesses a variety of primary skills, such as [Precise], [Whispering], [Flash], [Burst Arrow], [Scattering], [Hot Dance]..."

"Choosing to use a shooter in this environment indicates a desire to quickly resolve the battle."

As the veteran teacher's words faded, Ling Zhan took action.

In the dim and gloomy desert palace, Ling Zhan picked up his bow and arrow.

[Scattering].

[Burst Arrow].

[Precise].

[Whispering].

In an instant, he unleashed the four primary skills!

[Scattering (F+)]: Instantly shoots three feathered arrows.

[Explosive Arrow (F+)]: Causes the bow and arrow to burst upon impact, but it extends the drawing time.

[Precise (F+)]: Increases the shooter's hit rate by 5%.

[Whispering (F+)]: Gives the archer's bow and arrow a 25% armor-piercing effect.

Although the primary skills were initially at the F-level, with the blessing of [Almighty], they were elevated to F+.

Whoosh!

The three feathered arrows flew like shooting stars, carrying the burst armor-piercing effect, and struck the group of scorpions in the palace.

The arrows hit their targets precisely, piercing through the defenses of the three mutant poisonous scorpions.

With a puff, the three defensive mutant poisonous scorpions were eliminated by the feathered arrows.

Boom!

The burst effect attached to the arrows exploded, catching even the nearby mutated poisonous scorpions in its fiery grasp, incinerating them instantly.

[You successfully shoot and kill the enemy. The passive ability 'Hot Dance of Death' adds a layer of 'Hot' effect, increasing bow drawing speed by 3%, movement speed by 3%, and accumulating a blood shield. The thickness of the blood shield causes you to deal 1% damage within five seconds.]

[You successfully shoot and kill the enemy. The passive ability 'Dance of Death' adds two layers of the 'Hot' effect, increasing bow drawing speed by 6%, movement speed by 3%, and accumulating a blood shield. The thickness of the blood shield causes you to deal 2% damage within five seconds.]

...

Note: The blood shield protects the shooter from incoming damage, gradually decreasing after the attack ends. The current maximum superposition is 5% of the damage caused.

The 'Hot' effect lasts for five seconds. If the shooter does not hit the target within that time, all layers of the 'Hot' effect will be reset to zero.

[Fierce Dance of Death (F+)]: Up to ten layers can be stacked, increasing bow drawing speed by up to 30% and movement speed by up to 30%.
