Divine-level talent, divine-level passive ability

Xia Xue was over one meter seventy tall, had a graceful figure and a delicate face, and was regarded by many as the goddess of the school. Unfortunately, at one meter eighty-five, Lin Moyu even towered over Xia Xue, making her look up to him despite her own stature.

"Lin Moyu, I challenge you," Xia Xue declared, fixing him with her eyes.

Lin Moyu looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Knowing Lin Moyu's reticence, Xia Xue got straight to the point. "Let's compare our performances in the final exam. Do you dare?"

"Ah," Lin Moyu replied nonchalantly, bypassing Summer Snow.

Xia Xue stamped her foot in frustration and declared, "Then it's settled. I won't lose to you again."

Xia Xue had assumed that her rare profession would easily overshadow Lin Moyu's. She didn't know that Lin Moyu had a hidden profession. Regardless of the necromancer's strength, it was obvious that she was defeated once again. However, Xia Xue wasn't someone who would admit defeat.

Lin Moyu returned home to find it empty. He prepared a simple meal in the sparsely furnished house. Apart from a few furnishings, there was no furniture in the house. One photo stood out in particular. It showed a smiling Lin Moyu in the sunlight, accompanied by a young, beautiful woman and an elderly lady with silver hair. The photo, taken three years ago, showed a different side of Lin Moyu and the affection he felt for the two people in the picture.

In his previous life on Earth, he was an orphan without any family ties. Here, he had loved ones who cared for him. He appreciated them all the more.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last. Two years ago, his grandmother passed away. A year ago, his sister went to Xiajing Academy. Now he was alone.

Lin Moyu became increasingly quiet and distant. "I'll also go to Xiajing Academy," he said firmly to himself. Not for any other reason, but because Lin Mohan was there. But Xiajing Academy was notoriously difficult to get into. Last year, only Lin Mohan from all over Xihai City had managed to get in.

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Principal Lu," Lin Yun stood in front of the door with a package.

"Moyu, here's something for you to eat. Take it for now," Lin Yun said. "I'll bring you some fresh food in a few days"

"Thanks," Lin Moyu replied and accepted the food.

"Tomorrow, we'll enter the instance dungeon. Rest well," Lin Yun advised.

Lin Yun had sent food every few days for a year, fulfilling his promise to Lin Mohan. Last year, Lin Mohan had been accepted into the Xiajing Academy as the best scholar in the city, but decided to stay to look after his younger brother Lin Moyo. After constant coaxing from Lin Yun and assurances that he'd take care of Lin Moyo, Lin Mohan finally agreed to attend Xiajing Academy.

This was a great success for Xihai City and Lin Yun.

Lin Yun kept his word and took care of Lin Moyu throughout the year.

At night, Lin Moyu studied his skills. His mental strength had recovered, and he could summon another Skeleton Warrior at any time. In his left palm, he held a crimson gemstone - the only item he had brought with him when he went over. As he raised his hand to summon it, a voice suddenly rang out in his head.

"I recognize the awakening of the necromancer's profession"

"The profession meets the requirements, the ultimate talent system is binding"

"[Initiate extraction of the world source, optimize skills]"

"[Skill optimization completed]"

"[Congratulations on awakening the unique divine-level talent: Comprehensive Enhancement (Level 1)]"

"[Congratulations on obtaining the passive skill: Damage Transfer]"

Lin Moyu was deeply shocked and immediately checked his attributes.

[Name: Lin Moyu]

[Profession: Necromancer (Unique)]

[Level: 1 (0.00%)]

[Strength: 10]

[Dexterity: 10]

[Mental Strength: 20]

[Equipment: None]

[Summon Room: 1/10, Skeleton Warrior (Number: 1)]

[Talent: Comprehensive Reinforcement (Level 1, one-time)]

[Passive Ability: Damage Transfer]

[Active Skills: Soul Flame (Level 1), Summon Skeletal Warrior (Level 1)]

[Comprehensive Boost (Level 1): Increases the effects of all skills by ten times]

[Damage Transfer: All damage taken by the caster is transferred to the summoned creature]

[Soul Flame (Level 1): Burns the target's soul and inflicts burn damage, the strength of which depends on the caster's mental strength and skill level]

[Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 1): Summons a black skeleton warrior of Iron level]

The basic attributes remained unchanged, but he now possessed a divine talent and a divine-level passive skill. Both were exceptional abilities.

The talent was, as I said, remarkable. A unique divine-level talent increased the effect of all skills tenfold, even at level 1. Words couldn't accurately describe the power of this talent. Even Lin Moyo, who was usually so calm, couldn't hide his astonishment.

The effect of the passive skill was equally astounding and truly deserved its divine status. All damage would be transferred to the summoned creature. In other words, as long as his summon didn't perish, he wouldn't die. To kill it, one would have to eliminate all of its summons first.

The strength of this passive ability was immeasurable.

Lin Moyu took quite a while to recover from his shock. Then he noticed that the ruby on his left hand had disappeared.

"So it's you," Lin Moyu muttered.

He activated his ability and summoned a black iron-level skeleton. A vortex appeared in front of him, accompanied by a crunching sound of friction as a black iron skeleton emerged from it.
