: Frenzied Point Allocation! Tier Seven Magic: Celestial Flame Dragon Breath!

Thud, thud!

Thinking like this, suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Lin Yi stood up and opened the door.

It turned out to be Zhang Shan holding a box of items, standing outside the door.

Seeing Lin Yi open the door, Zhang Shan, panting, walked in and placed the items he was holding down.

It made a very dull thud sound.

"Ah Yi, I didn't see you in the leveling area, nor at the dungeon entrance!"

"What's going on with you?"

"Isn't it just that you awakened a common profession?"

"Do you really need to get so down about it?"

Zhang Shan said while wiping his sweat and opened the box, taking out all the items inside.

"These are leveling potions and red and blue potions my old man at home bought for me. The blue potion is of no use to me, so I'm giving them all to you."

"I've also split half of the red potion for you."

"Besides, there are three skill point scrolls inside, crush them to get 3 skill points, use them as you see fit!"

"By the way, I should tell you, your brother here finally awakened a rare class, Knight of Light!"

"Considering how you've been letting me copy your homework and help me cheat these past three years, how about I help you level up?"

"I'll pull the monsters, you deal damage, we won't even need a healer, I can handle it! We'll split the experience, so stop moping at home!"

Looking at the things Zhang Shan brought and listening to his words, Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart.

This is a true brother!

Though Zhang Shan's family isn't very wealthy.

Although his father is a combat professional, he's one of the most ordinary ones.

These 3 skill point scrolls, I guess this guy also split half of them for me.

He's so generous!

Lin Yi took the skill point scrolls from the box and stuffed them back into Zhang Shan's hands, joking, "Who the hell told you I'm moping?"

"And keep these skill point scrolls for yourself, I don't need them!"

"I'm not avoiding leveling, I'm just preparing for something big!"

Lin Yi spent over ten minutes persuading the skeptical Zhang Shan to leave, but just after he left, the door was knocked again.

Upon opening the door, Lin Yi saw another guy wearing a delivery uniform holding a box, smiling as he asked, "Is this Lin Yi's house?"

"You've got a delivery!"

Lin Yi: "I didn't order anything?"

The guy continued, "It's for you, the sender is Jiang Ya."

In Lin Yi's mind, Jiang Ya's usually cold and slightly arrogant face popped up.

Opening the box, Lin Yi saw it full of high-level alchemy medicine and high-level mana and health potions, and more importantly, there were even over a dozen experience boost scrolls.

Each of these scrolls probably costs hundreds of Xia coins, worthy of being a little rich girl.

What Lin Yi didn't know was that Jiang Ya agonized over this for a whole seven days.

She even planned to come over and say something the first day she saw Lin Yi leave school disheartened.

But the young lady's restraint and the aloof image she maintained for so long prevented her from doing it.

In the end, although she didn't come, she still sent her regards.

Lin Yi gladly accepted the box of items.

The companionship over these past three years seemed much deeper than any competitive spirit.

After sending off the delivery guy, Lin Yi opened the box and saw underneath the potions and medicines, a piece of paper.

It seemed the person placing this paper really didn't want Lin Yi to see it.

Lin Yi took the paper, turned it over and saw a line of neat small handwriting.

"Don't be too upset, if you need anything, find me."

Just one sentence.

But Lin Yi could imagine how much Jiang Ya must have changed and reorganized her words before finally writing this sentence.

After organizing the things Zhang Shan and Jiang Ya sent him, Lin Yi opened his own panel.

[Lin Yi]

[Profession: Mage (First Transformation)]

[Specialization: Fire]

[Level: LV.1 (0.00%)]

[Life Value: 10/10]

[Mana: 100/100]

[Strength: 1]

[Agility: 1]

[Spirit: 10]

[Constitution: 1]

[Endurance: 1]

[Talent: Blessing of All Gods (SSS)]

[Assignable Attribute Points: 0]

[Assignable Skill Points: 602163]

[Class Skills: Energy Saving Casting (Passive), Quick Chanting (Passive), Fireball Technique (Active)]

Seeing his skill point balance of over 600,000, Lin Yi took a deep breath.

The skill points accumulated over these seven days are terrifying!

No more words needed!

Deep blue, add points!

Lin Yi opened the Fireball Technique skill panel and started crazily adding points!

Dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang!

Lin Yi continuously heard the success prompt for skill upgrades, and the Fireball Technique in the panel constantly flashed with upgrade brilliance!

The flames grew ever more intense and emitted streams of golden light!

Refreshing!

So refreshing!

This feeling of rocketing, speedily boosting skill points is truly the most wonderful experience on earth!

[You consumed 500 skill points, your Fireball Technique advanced, and you acquired a new spell: Flame Burst Skill!]

[You consumed 2000 skill points, your Flame Burst Skill advanced, and you acquired a new spell: Triple Flame Spear!]

[You consumed 5000 skill points, your Triple Flame Spear advanced, and you acquired a new spell: Flame Storm!]

[You consumed 10000 skill points, your Flame Storm advanced, and you acquired a new spell: Blazing Flame Light Wheel!]

[You consumed 50000 skill points, your Blazing Flame Light Wheel advanced, and you acquired a new spell: Molten Fire Demon!]

[You consumed 100,000 skill points, your Molten Fire Demon advanced, and you acquired a new spell: Celestial Flame Dragon Breath!]

After more than ten minutes.

As Lin Yi kept adding points.

The skills on his skill panel interface had already completely changed.

The previously unremarkable Fireball Technique, after investing over a hundred thousand skill points.

Had progressed to Tier Seven!

The whole room began to heat up.

Lin Yi felt an unprecedented scorching heat wave sweeping over him.

It felt as if his entire body was bathed in the most terrifying and intense golden flames in the world.

But these flames did not hurt him at all!

On the contrary, he felt an extremely terrifying affinity with the fire elements of this world!

He only needed to issue a command.

These most violent destructive elements would erupt explosively, turning his enemies to ashes!

Lin Yi checked to see what his next advanced spell would be.

[Tier Eight - Fire Spirit Incarnation]

[Skill Point Requirement for Advancement: 500,000!]

Lin Yi was tongue-tied, the skill points required for future advanced skills had already become astronomical.

No wonder Lin Yi heard that only Seventh and Eighth Transformation super old experts in the world are likely to use spells close to the Forbidden Curse layer.

Without such an extended period, accumulating such a vast amount of skill points is extremely difficult.

And Lin Yi, in just a week, had almost completed the path that supreme mages pursued their entire lives!

Lin Yi thought for a moment and turned his attention to the other two skills.

[Energy Saving Casting] and [Quick Chanting].

These two skills were awakened when I got the basic mage active skill, Fireball Technique.

Their effects were also very simple.

They can reduce 10% of his casting cost and chanting time.

Can these two skills have skill points added?

: God-Tier Passive Skills, Mana Storm, Divine Grace Chant!

Lin Yi had already noticed a characteristic of the high-level spells he had mastered so far.

They were immensely powerful, but their skill consumption was also immense!

The chanting time was also very long.

Take the tier seven spell "Celestial Flame Dragon Breath" that Lin Yi had just acquired, for example.

"Celestial Flame Dragon Breath"

[Type: Active Skill]

[Level: Tier Seven]

[System: Fire System]

[Consumption: 30,000 Mana Value]

[Chanting Time: 20 seconds]

[Cooldown Time: 2 hours]

[Effect: Summon the scorching breath of a dragon from the sky, igniting all targets within the breath's range, causing significant fire damage and adding prolonged Dragon Flame burning damage.]

[Note: Wherever it passes, is scorched earth.]

This tier seven spell requires 30,000 mana points for a single cast.

It also requires an enormous 20 seconds of chanting.

Lin Yi currently only has a mana limit of 100 points, making it impossible to use such high-level skills.

So Lin Yi turned his focus to his two passive skills.

Especially "Energy Saving Casting"!

He hoped that after leveling up this skill, it would bring him pleasant surprises!

At the very least, it could allow him to cast high-level spells!

Lin Yi switched his skill point distribution to "Energy Saving Casting", and then just like he did with the Fireball Technique, he began frantically adding points!

The chime of notifications was incessant.

Over ten minutes later, Lin Yi received the final skill upgrade notification.

[You have consumed 100,000 skill points, your "Super Mana Surge" has advanced, and you have obtained a new passive skill: Mana Storm!]

Similarly, by spending hundreds of thousands of skill points, Lin Yi upgraded the small skill "Energy Saving Casting" to tier seven.

Of course, now its name is much more impressive.

"Mana Storm"

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Level: Tier Seven]

[System: General System]

[Effect 1: All your spells have their mana consumption reduced by 70%.]

[Effect 2: Your maximum mana limit from all sources increases by 7 times, and you restore 7% of your maximum mana every second.]

[Effect 3: Every 8 hours, you have one opportunity to cast any tier nine or below spell without consumption, current available instances: 1, maximum stack count is 3.]

[Note: I am the approaching storm.]

Hiss...

Lin Yi took a deep breath.

Godly passive!

And it solved his urgent problem perfectly!

All skills now have mana consumption reduced by 70%, meaning his endurance has improved greatly.

The consumption for one "Celestial Flame Dragon Breath" has dropped from 30,000 to 9,000, still high, but not unattainable.

Even more crucially, he now has 3 chances daily to cast for free.

This way, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to use key skills due to lack of mana.

Awesome!

Lin Yi wasted no time and immediately focused on his last passive skill—"Quick Chanting".

Another frantic point allocation session lasting over ten minutes.

Lin Yi was already feeling a bit tired.

Although this experience of frantically enhancing his skills was very pleasant and exciting,

it was truly monotonous.

The required action was just to keep clicking...

Lin Yi's hands were sore.

If other practitioners found out about Lin Yi's woes at this moment, they might be infuriated to death!

For everyone else, it was a hard day of dungeon grinding to earn a few dozen to a hundred skill points.

Carefully considering and deliberating how to maximize the cost-effectiveness and benefits of improving their skills.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, just mindlessly added points and it was done.

Before long, another tier seven skill was freshly baked.

"Divine Grace Chant"

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Level: Tier Seven]

[System: General System]

[Effect 1: When you cast spells of tier five or below, they become instantaneous, and spells above tier five have their chanting time reduced by 70%.]

[Effect 2: Your chants cannot be interrupted by any tier seven or below disrupt, silence, or anti-magic class skills.]

[Effect 3: Every 8 hours, you have one opportunity to instantly cast any tier nine or below spell, current available instances: 1, max stack count is 3.]

[Note: Divine Grace Protection, Divine Speech Chant.]

Here it comes!

Instantaneous spell is here!

Lin Yi had previously predicted that these two passive skills, once leveled up, should be quite amazing.

But he didn't expect them to be this amazing.

And they even synergize with each other.

Free casting + instant casting!

This is our exhilarating combo technique!

If Lin Yi wished, he could even instantly cast a tier seven "Celestial Flame Dragon Breath" right then and there!

Although Lin Yi hadn't tested the power of this skill yet, he had a premonition.

If a tier seven fire-type ultimate were to be unleashed from above.

It could bring disaster to a significant part of Jiangcheng.

He's not some anti-human maniac, so naturally he wouldn't do such a thing.

But truth be told, Lin Yi was already itching to act.

If he couldn't brazenly throw high-level skills around the city, then surely he could test them in secluded high-level training areas, right?

Lin Yi gathered all the alchemy potions, red and blue potions, a few experience scrolls, and town recall scrolls that he had already sorted out, and tossed them into the 50-slot personal space that came with his awakened profession.

Afterwards, Lin Yi left his home and headed to the commerce street for lifestyle practitioners in Jiangcheng to reap a haul of food and water for free.

He completely filled his personal space.

Xia highly values talent cultivation.

Therefore, new practitioners who have just awakened their skills like Lin Yi are entitled to educational benefits.

All they need to do is tell those lifestyle merchant vendors: I'm a student.

Then show their student ID to earn a large amount of basic supply items for free.

With everything ready, Lin Yi walked out from the inner city of Jiangcheng and headed to the suburbs.

The suburbs stretched into vast grasslands, with gentle breezes blowing and the weather being excellent today.

From where Lin Yi was, he could see many people his age swinging all sorts of weapons across the grasslands, hunting small, harmless animals like rabbits and groundhogs.

This was the lowest-level training area on the outskirts of Jiangcheng: Qingfeng Grassland.

The monsters in this grassland were generally between level 1 and 4, and none would proactively attack humans.

Even weak monsters like rabbits and groundhogs would only flee when attacked, never retaliating.

This place was a haven for beginners.

Therefore, a large number of people who had just awakened their professions would choose to train here.

However, correspondingly, the leveling efficiency was also low.

Because there were more people than monsters.

Most monsters might just respawn and are immediately taken down by a barrage of attacks.

So some ambitious people, those with substantial family support, or those with stronger professions would opt to venture deeper into the grassland to challenge stronger, more dangerous monsters for higher leveling efficiency.

Lin Yi bypassed the popular leveling zone of Qingfeng Grassland and headed deeper into the grassland.

He walked for half a day.

After half a day, Lin Yi saw a dense forest at the end of the grassland and let out a deep breath.

That was the more advanced leveling area—the Wailing Forest.

The monsters in the forest were generally level 9 or above, bloodthirsty and brutal, and would actively attack.

: Instant Cast Unlimited! Human Auto-Magic Machine Gun!

Lin Yi took a short rest, ate some dry food, drank a few sips of water, and continued on his journey.

At the same time, he remained vigilant and took out a bottle of Alchemy Potion from his personal space.

This potion shimmered with a faint blue light, making it look quite beautiful.

Lin Yi gulped down the Alchemy Potion.

Hmm, the taste was awful.

He didn't know what strange herbs were used in its concoction.

There was a hint of cilantro...

However, Lin Yi didn't care much; what concerned him more was the state that lasted for an hour.

[Intermediate Spirit Potion: Increases your Spirit attribute by 30 points, and increases your Mana Value limit by 300 points.]

Under the passive skill boost of [Mana Storm], these 30 Spirit attribute points effectively increased the Mana Value limit by 2100 points, and the effect of increasing the base Mana Value limit added an extra 2100 points.

With this state, Lin Yi's current mana rose from a pathetic 100 points to a staggering 4300 points!

With a 70% mana cost reduction in play, Lin Yi estimated he could continuously cast hundreds of Tier Three spells without interruption.

As for Tier Four and Tier Five spells, he could use them frequently if he was a bit reserved.

This was also why Lin Yi dared to challenge the Wailing Forest, a Level 10 training area, with his fragile Level 1 body!

As he stepped into the forest, a chilling aura immediately surrounded Lin Yi.

The vegetation in the forest was extremely lush, and even now, under the blazing sun, the sunlight filtering through the trees only left a few spots.

At this moment, there were almost no levelers around him.

The transfer ceremony times organized by schools in Jiangcheng were not very fixed and could be delayed by two or three days.

Lin Yi idling at home for seven days didn't make him fall much behind the main group.

As he ventured deeper, Lin Yi's ears were filled with sounds resembling the howls and screams of fierce beasts.

It wasn't really some creatures wailing, but rather it was said that deep in the forest, there was a cave that blew wild winds all year round.

The wind passing through the forest created these eerie and frightening howling sounds.

This was also the origin of the forest's name.

"Hiss..."

A rustling sound suddenly came from above Lin Yi's head, making him alert.

He turned his head to look.

He saw a giant python as thick as a barrel, its snake eyes as big as goose eggs, staring intently at him.

The next moment, the python hissed, opened its bloody mouth, and lunged at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi's mind moved, ready to use a skill to instantly kill it.

At this critical moment.

The dark forest was suddenly illuminated by orange-red firelight!

Lin Yi only felt an extremely familiar scorching wave coming from behind him, and the next moment, a Fireball suddenly struck the python's head!

The python winced in pain, its hatred instantly shifted, and its massive body lurched from the trunk, lunging toward the direction of the attack.

However, halfway through, another Fireball, even larger than the previous one, as big as a basin, suddenly struck!

Bang!

The large Fireball hit the python, instantly bursting into countless sparks.

Heavily hit, the python's entire body turned charred black, its massive body twisted, and then it completely died.

At this point, Lin Yi finally saw the source of the two Fireballs earlier.

It was a young man about the same age as Lin Yi, accompanied by a middle-aged Mage in a gray robe.

The young man was watching Lin Yi with an amused expression.

"Mr. Xu, how did I do just now?"

The young man seemed to be very satisfied with his Fireball earlier and eagerly sought praise.

The middle-aged Mage in a gray robe standing beside him nodded: "Young master, your Fireball Technique was very precise just now. With continued practice, you'll soon be able to level up easily in this Wailing Forest all by yourself."

For some reason, Lin Yi found that although these two were at a much higher level than him.

He was still able to see through their true strengths.

Perhaps because both of them exuded faint waves of magic power and fire elemental aura.

The youth's power was much weaker than his, countless times over.

And the middle-aged gray-robed Mage was only one tier stronger at best.

Both were fire mages.

The Tier Two Flame Burst Skill just now was used by the middle-aged Mage.

In Lin Yi's view, without the help of the middle-aged gray-robed Mage, the young man would undoubtedly have suffered under the python's attack and barely won.

It wouldn't be like what the middle-aged mage said, leveling up easily in the Wailing Forest just with a Fireball Technique around Tier Three.

Praised by his elder at home.

The young man became even more smug.

He looked at Lin Yi and spoke: "I just saved your life, shouldn't you thank me?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly and said something that surprised both the young man and the gray-robed Mage.

"Why did you steal my monster?"

The young man was obviously not expecting Lin Yi to say such a thing.

Instead of thanking him, he accused him of stealing his monster?

Does it mean he could handle the Level 9 python alone?

Due to the level suppression.

The young man, already at Level 7, instantly saw that Lin Yi was only at Level 1.

A rookie like this wouldn't know how they died in this forest.

How dare he be so arrogant!

But before he could speak.

The gray-robed Mage next to him spoke up: "Young brother, I see your level is not high, this leveling area is very dangerous, you'd better leave quickly."

With that, he left with the young man beside him.

Lin Yi watched the two walk away and shook his head.

Although being robbed of his monster was very unpleasant.

But considering the two may have really acted because they saw his low level, he'd let it slide.

But not a second time.

This little episode was quickly forgotten by Lin Yi.

Because as he ventured further into the Wailing Forest, he encountered no other practitioners.

And the monsters were becoming more and more dense.

"Hiss..."

This time, seven or eight giant pythons, their scales gleaming with a golden light, crawled down from the top of the trees.

However, before they could approach Lin Yi.

Lin Yi raised his hand, and instantly a dozen terrifying Fireballs, each as large as a basin, streaked through the air, smashing into these pythons.

Flame Burst Skill!

If that middle-aged gray-robed Mage saw this scene, his eyes would surely be wide open!

Speechless with shock!

Though it was the same Tier Two skill, Lin Yi used it with incredible ease.

He didn't need to chant, didn't need to prepare.

And it was extremely accurate; his mind moved at will, and the fire elements permeating between heaven and earth only needed Lin Yi's thought.

They would turn into ready-made magic, wiping out all these high-level monsters instantly!

Lin Yi now was a walking, spell-firing machine gun!

Tired of the Tier Two Flame Burst Skill, Lin Yi began using Tier Three magic.

"Roar!" Two grey bears emerged from the dense forest behind Lin Yi, roaring and charging at him.

Despite being covered in flesh and armor, bears are not slow when they run.

However, these two forest brown bears' assault was intercepted by three Flame Spears descending from the sky!

Boom!

Boom!

The three Flame Spears pierced into the heads of the two brown bears, instantly slaying them!

Xiong Da and Xiong Er both perished, the family had to be intact!
