3: SSS-level talent: Holy Healing Light
The moment her hand landed on the Awakening Stele, nine-colored rays of light suddenly appeared in the sky.
Pleasant Buddhist chants echoed in the air, as if heaven and earth were celebrating something.
A pure white pillar of light descended from the sky, landing precisely on Zhou Mengyan.
Her body began to emit milky white starlight.
Zhou Mengyan’s height subtly increased, and her skin became even fairer and more delicate.
Already beautiful, she was now perfect.
At this moment, she was breathtakingly beautiful, enveloped by a sacred and pure aura.
Zhou Mengyan
This scene was as if an extra had suddenly been enveloped by a stage spotlight.
Everyone in the Central Plaza focused their gaze on Zhou Mengyan.
Only Zhou Mengyan herself showed a hint of surprise on her face after feeling the changes in her body.
Just then, the voice of the AI intelligent system suddenly rang out, raising everyone's shock to the heavens once more.
“Ya Zi Reserve Team’s Zhou Mengyan, successful job change, support class: Priest, SS+ God-Level Talent: Holy Heal.”
Zhongshan Plaza fell into a brief silence.
Boom…
It was then instantly drowned out by thunderous exclamations.
Xiao Ya was dumbfounded.
Xiao Yan was stunned.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden talent level.
“My heavens, what did I just see?”
“It’s really a Priest class, and an SS+ God-Level Talent? How is this possible?”
“This is a goddess; our Xiao has given birth to a goddess.”
“Meng Yan God!”
“Meng Yan God!”
At this moment, countless gazes became fervent.
If a Mage is the strongest damage dealer in a team, then a Priest is the soul core of the entire team.
Only with a powerful Priest can a team’s combat power be raised to its peak.
After all, staying alive is the ultimate damage.
Holy Heal, ranked sixth on the global known talent list, is a powerful existence, second only to five SSS-level talents.
And on the Priest-type talent skill list, it firmly holds the first place; globally, there is only one job changer who has awakened this talent.
That person is Helen Rossi, the Seven Turns Grand Archdeacon of the Greek Freedom Temple.
Every time a large dungeon appears, other countries spare no expense to invite her to join them.
Because once the Holy Heal talent skill is activated, Helen can restore 30% of her teammates' health and mana per second for ten minutes without consumption.
Unless instantly killed, these ten minutes are enough to keep a team in an Invincible state against most bosses.
Xiao Ya, who was previously infinitely glorious, paled in comparison to Zhou Mengyan.
“Hello, esteemed Miss Meng Yan, my name is Xiao Yan, heir to the Xiao Corporation, an S-level talent Mage. May I invite you to become my partner?”
Xiao Yan, dressed in a sharp suit, a gentle smile on his face, bowed politely and gentlemanly.
His handsome appearance, prominent family background, and standing with Zhou Mengyan made them look like a match made in heaven.
A partner is not as simple as a teammate; with the advent of the job change era, the word 'partner' signifies sharing life and death, never abandoning each other.
Xiao Yan winked at the crowd below, and immediately, a burst of screams erupted from the awakened ones.
“They’re so well-matched.”
“Say yes to him!”
“Truly a perfect couple.”
“Get together! Get together!”
The sound waves surged like a tide.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan’s face immediately showed a hint of smugness.
In his opinion, even if Zhou Mengyan had suddenly risen, she was still just the child of a lowly cleaner.
Such a commoner, no matter how powerful, could not possibly refuse his invitation.
However, what no one expected happened at this moment.
Zhou Mengyan walked directly towards Lin Ling, as if she hadn't seen Xiao Yan at all.
This scene immediately silenced the crowd, and Xiao Yan stood frozen in place, his face filled with bewilderment.
His anger level was rapidly soaring, but at this moment, the voice of the AI intelligent system rang out again.
“Ji Youyou, begin job awakening.”
A girl from the Ya Zi Reserve Team quickly ran towards the Awakening Stele, and soon the AI broadcast announced the awakening information.
“Ya Zi Reserve Team’s Ji Youyou, successful job change, combat class – Archer, A+ God-Level Talent: Blazing Flame Bow.”
“Not bad, Blazing Flame Bow. Every five arrows will trigger a passive effect, and the fifth arrow will produce a blazing effect, causing AOE damage to a five-meter radius.” Lin Ling gave a thumbs-up to Ji Youyou as she walked down.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than his name echoed through the broadcast.
“Lin Ling, begin job awakening.”
“God Lin!”
“God Lin!”
“Wow, it’s finally God Lin’s turn!”
“Will a legendary SSS-level talent appear?”
“I’m going to faint, God Lin is too handsome.”
Cheers and screams echoed like continuous waves across the plaza.
Lin Ling was being pushed onto a pedestal by the crowd, step by step.
He didn't immediately go to awaken, but instead walked in front of Zhou Mengyan.
“Captain! Go for it!”
Zhou Mengyan secretly glanced at Lin Ling’s handsome face, then quickly lowered her head and whispered.
Lin Ling smiled faintly, and in a voice only Zhou Mengyan could hear, he said:
“Hmm, you’ve become prettier. Congratulations on becoming an SSS-level talent job changer.”
“Thank you…”
Suddenly, Zhou Mengyan’s expression froze.
She looked at Lin Ling in disbelief.
“What level of talent did you just say I awakened?”
Thump thump… thump thump…
Zhou Mengyan’s heart beat faster and faster.
She had indeed not awakened an SS+ talent, but an SSS-level talent.
As an SSS-level talent, there is a special privilege: to conceal and disguise the awakened talent level and talent skills.
This has been a protection mechanism for SSS-level talent holders since the game descended into reality a hundred years ago.
But only SSS-level talent awakeners know this, and Zhou Mengyan had used the disguise privilege after awakening her talent.
She had disguised her SSS-level talent Holy Healing Light as an SS+ talent Holy Heal.
But how did Lin Ling know?
This was simply illogical.
Unless he could foresee the future, unless God Lin was truly a god.
Zhou Mengyan suddenly realized that this wasn't the first time Lin Ling had foreseen the future; for three years, Lin Ling had been very familiar with every simulated assessment.
His predictions were almost completely accurate; he knew where the bosses were, he knew where the ambushes were, and he even knew about the early awakening assessment.
Zhou Mengyan suddenly looked up at Lin Ling, only to find that Lin Ling’s face was always so calm and composed.
Such composure was not like an eighteen-year-old boy, but like a middle-aged uncle who had experienced half a lifetime of ups and downs.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Ling said, then turned and walked towards the Awakening Stele, though a hint of bitterness was faintly visible in his eyes.
“In this life, it’s still the SSS-level Laws Darling, isn’t it? It seems I’m destined to be a joke again.”
Thinking this, Lin Ling felt a sudden lightness throughout his body, and he raised his hand to press against the Awakening Stele.
A nine-colored pillar of light immediately lit up from the stele, shooting straight into the sky.
At this moment, the entire sky became colorful, and the fluctuations of various elements in the air instantly became much denser.
These magic elements rapidly pulsed, playing a magical hymn in the air.
“Boom-clap, boom-clap… ding-ding-ding-ding…”
The rhythm was clear and audible, making people want to sway to the beat.
“This… what level of talent is this? How can there be such BGM?”
“Why do I feel the momentum is no less than Meng Yan God’s awakening ceremony?”
“Could it be another SS+?”
“It must be SSS, the legendary SSS-level talent is about to appear in our Dragon Nation.”
“Holy cow, SSS-level? That’s incredible! SSS-level talents are also called God-Level Talent. Witnessing the birth of an SSS-level talent is enough for me to brag about for a lifetime.”
Seeing such a strange sight, everyone’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
