124: Spiritual Master Ling Qiye
Among the crowd, a young man with a buzz cut and white hair had an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care at all about the arguments of the others.
He stood there as if he wasn't on the same level as these prodigies.
There was an aura about him that transcended all living beings.
He was Ling Qiye, ranked second.
He was the biggest dark horse in this year's new Dragon Nest tryouts.
His first battle was his peak.
His talent was SSS-grade: Divine Thought.
After Seven Turns, he became a unique hidden Professional: Myriad Spirit Master.
This was a variation of the rare hidden Professional, Mental Master.
After successfully changing professions, Ling Qiye hid his talent and fell into deep self-doubt.
He had originally believed he would definitely be able to become a Mage, but the result was far from what he expected.
After all, Mages could cast magic, while he could only control external objects.
He only left the Base City the day after his awakening, but when he discovered that a single thought could make a group of monsters kill each other, and he wouldn't lose any experience, his path to rise officially began.
Whether it was arrows shot by archers, sharp swords in the hands of warriors, or even elemental magic unleashed by Mages.
Ling Qiye could control all of this.
As long as the opponent's mental strength wasn't stronger than his, he could even control his opponent to commit suicide on the spot with just a look.
Ling Qiye had come all the way from Cloud Kun Base City, never having suffered a single defeat.
Even a Professional who had just completed Five-turn died by his hand.
Ling Qiye could control anything he could perceive through his mental strength.
Even Zhang Ziye, who was always arrogant and unruly, couldn't last more than ten seconds when he met Ling Qiye.
On the evening of the third day of the awakening, Ling Qiye's information was sent by Cloud Kun Base City to the War God Hall's conference table.
He also became the last, strongest, and most bizarre one on the guaranteed admission list.
“Alright, everyone, quiet down for me!”
A Dragon Nest colonel shouted loudly, and the crowd instantly quieted down.
“Tomorrow is a rest day, a day off. The semi-finals will officially begin the day after tomorrow. The semi-final assessment will be conducted naked, and everyone will stand on the same starting line.
If you are unconvinced, or have grudges, you are guaranteed to be able to challenge your opponents at will in the semi-finals the day after tomorrow.
Dragon Nest has opened an experience dungeon for you for free. On this day, those who want to level up can go grind, and those who don't want to level up can relax in the capital city.
Everyone gathers here at 0:00 tomorrow night. Those who are late will be kicked out of the team. Alright, dismissed!”
After the instructor finished speaking, the team immediately disbanded.
The nineteen people were all overjoyed; no one would dislike a holiday.
“I’ve never been so excited. The day after tomorrow, I’ll let Lin Ling know how big the gap between us is,” Zhang Ziye said with a sinister grin.
“Ziye, don’t underestimate any opponent. To be valued by the Dragon Nest, Lin Ling’s abilities are definitely more than what he has shown on the surface,” Ling Qiye said slowly.
Zhang Ziye rarely lowered his raised head a little, his face beaming with a smile: “Seven Nights boss, no matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than you?”
Ling Qiye immediately smiled, “There should be no one in this batch of newcomers who can beat me.”
“Hahaha… Alright, you guys, stop being so humble-braggy, you’re all so full of yourselves. Competition is competition, but in the future, we might all be teammates who share life and death.”
A young man said with a smile.
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.
Everyone simultaneously looked up at the sky.
The giant fish that had appeared yesterday once again flew over the entire capital city.
Zhang Ziye looked at the giant fish, trembling with excitement, and said, “Oh my goodness, Lord Kun is borrowing the path again.”
…
Capital Forging Guild.
A “Do Not Disturb” sign hung outside the laboratory.
Cao Hou paced back and forth in the hall.
He was utterly impressed by his young miss.
An hour ago.
He was dozing at the service desk.
His young miss actually returned with the big shot who had borrowed the laboratory last time.
The two said they wanted to discuss and research forging, and then plunged into the laboratory.
They not only locked the door but also activated the soundproofing magic array.
That urgent scene immediately made Cao Hou's eyes gleam with surprise.
He even suspected whether the two were researching forging or biology in the laboratory.
“It’s been almost two hours, aren’t they done yet? I really want to drill a hole and see what they’re doing?”
Cao Hou muttered, instinctively pressing his ear to the door, but with the protection of the soundproofing magic array, he couldn't hear any sound.
Meanwhile, inside the laboratory.
Lin Ling and Autumn Leaf's discussion had entered a heated stage.
Since the Child of Elements' passive ability had not yet cooled down, Lin Ling could only rely on his extensive theoretical knowledge to discuss with Autumn Leaf.
They had a disagreement on the point of special weapon upgrading.
Lin Ling received great inspiration from Autumn Leaf, while the impact Lin Ling brought to Autumn Leaf was even greater.
Most of his knowledge about forging came from the Dragon Lord Kingdom's database seven years later in his previous life.
Those knowledge points were relatively general but were far more advanced than the current ones.
Lin Ling's gaze swept to his skill panel.
Finally, the Child of Elements' passive ability finished its cooldown.
A faint smile hung on his lips.
“Breaking the Cocoon.”
As the song began, Lin Ling instantly entered the Breaking the Cocoon state.
A massive amount of forging experience instantly filled his memory.
This time, Lin Ling did not immediately start crafting, but instead tried to remember some of the knowledge points he could grasp.
Under his powerful mental strength, he quickly memorized a large amount of information.
Although he was still a Level 1 Forgemaster at this moment, his understanding of forging was definitely not inferior to some Seven Turns Forgemasters.
Lin Ling regained his focus and immediately began upgrading the equipment.
The materials required for the upgrade were already prepared.
Under Autumn Leaf's gaze, he scanned all the materials.
