C83 To Become Stronger Together!!

The crowd cast doubtful glances at Chen Guo.

They were well aware of Lee Xiaoyao's Earth Level talent and his status as a powerhouse.

They also recognized that Lee Xiaoyao's fighting capacity was slightly above the rest.

But when it came to learning skills, could the disparity really be that vast?

Everyone else had managed to master just one skill, and even that was a struggle. Yet, here you were, claiming to have mastered them all. We're all human, so what makes you so exceptional?

Are you pulling our leg?

In response to the collective skepticism, Chen Guo simply smiled and said, "Watch closely!"

With those words, Chen Guo recited an incantation, and in a moment, the skies changed as a formidable sword qi materialized behind him, exuding an aura of annihilation.

But Chen Guo didn't attack; he merely demonstrated his mastery of the technique.

"It's actually the Sword God technique! That's the most difficult move in the Mountain Shu Sect. You can only learn it after completing the Foundation Establishment, and you've actually mastered it!" Yim Chixia looked at Chen Guo with utter astonishment, as if beholding a creature of myth, "Now try the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique!"

Without another word, Chen Guo applied the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique to himself with such finesse that it seemed less like a beginner's attempt and more the work of a seasoned practitioner.

Yim Chixia was thoroughly convinced and sighed, "There truly are prodigies in this world who grasp concepts instantly and excel with minimal effort. What a shame I can't take you back to the Mountain Shu Sect. The Sect Master would surely take you under his wing if he saw your potential."

"Boss Lee Xiaoyao, how do you learn so quickly?"

"Right, Boss Lee Xiaoyao, do you have a secret to share?"

"Indeed, if there's a secret, why not share it with all of us?"

The group looked on at Chen Guo with hopeful eyes, wishing he had some learning tricks up his sleeve to share.

Chen Guo shrugged and said, "You can't compare everyone's physique across the board. There was a time when I was extremely angry in my extreme anger..."

"..."

After listening to Chen Guo's roundabout talk, the crowd realized that he either had no special tricks or simply wasn't willing to share them. They had no choice but to let it go.

"Lee Xiaoyao, now that you've mastered all the skills of the Mount Shu Sect, you can step aside. I need to focus on teaching the others, striving to help them grasp as many skills as possible in the time we have left to maximize their combat strength," Yim Chixia said, giving Chen Guo a meaningful look.

Chen Guo, understanding the situation, moved to the side. With a considerable amount of time before the two-hour mark, he recognized his shortcomings in combat strength and was determined to enhance it as quickly as he could. His sole aim was to claim the head of the Demon Commander!

"You have earned the approval of your professional mentor, Yim Chixia. Your job mission is complete, and you have ascended to the rank of Sword Immortal!" Chen Guo had barely taken a few steps when the system alert chimed in. It was clear to him now that completing the job mission wasn't about defeating the monster, but about gaining the mentor's approval.

Chen Guo's exceptional talent had made learning a breeze, and his swift approval from Yim Chixia meant he had finished the task ahead of the rest. Although being first to complete the job mission didn't hold much weight, it was a milestone nonetheless.

He noticed a new job designation on his character panel:

Combat Strength: 410,000

Evaluation: Skyrocketing beyond limits, with the power of twin dragons! You're definitely the hidden powerhouse!

Originally, due to leveling up, Chen Guo's combat strength had soared to approximately 350,000. However, after his successful job transition to the coveted Sword Immortal class, his combat strength skyrocketed to an impressive 410,000.

Coupled with the array of formidable talents and skills at his disposal, Chen Guo was brimming with confidence in his ability to vanquish the Demon Commander.

"Still, it's not enough. Time to push even harder!"

Chen Guo reached into his spatial bag, rummaging through the bodies of the 900 fallen, and initiated the Omnipresent Duplication.

"Ding! Duplication initiated. You've copied 500 points of Pami's strength!"

"Ding! Duplication initiated. You've copied Qiao Xi's eon-level talent, Angel's Wrath!"

"Angel's Wrath: Unleashes the fury of an archangel, significantly boosting one's attack and defense capabilities!"

"Ding! Duplication initiated. You've copied Teng Xiong's skill, Iai Slash!"

"Iai Slash: Strikes with lightning-fast speed, inflicting tremendous damage upon the enemy!"

"You..."

Chen Guo had long since mastered the art of corpse-looting, extracting experience with unparalleled efficiency. In just about half an hour, he had thoroughly searched all 900 bodies, draining every last drop of value that could be duplicated from them.

Each time he did this, Chen Guo couldn't shake the feeling of being a ruthless capitalist, exploiting even the deceased for their worth, arguably the most heartless of the lot.

As two hours neared their end, everyone had given their utmost effort to master the skills imparted by their instructors. On average, they had each acquired three skills, with only the exceptionally talented or those with a high affinity for their profession managing to master the entire set.

With time running short, the instructors decided to conclude their lessons.

"That's enough. You've all been excellent students, learning swiftly. We recognize your efforts," the mentors concluded, following a brief discussion. Yim Chixia then spoke up.

Realizing that they could now complete their professional mission, everyone eagerly opted to do so, resulting in a substantial increase in their combat strength across the board.

"I've grown significantly stronger. The key is that with a profession, my skills are no longer a jumbled mess. They've evolved into a cohesive system that I can use synergistically, which has greatly enhanced my actual fighting capacity."

"The sensation of gaining strength is incredibly satisfying. I feel like Zhu Bajie who's eaten the ginseng fruit—every single one of my three thousand pores is basking in comfort."

"This time, we must assist our mentors in defeating the Demon Commander! We've come a long way from who we used to be!"

The group buzzed with excitement.

It was clear to everyone that to make it far in this harsh world, strength was paramount. Therefore, the boost in power was the most exhilarating aspect for all.
