7: Naming the forbidden spell of the undead system, meeting the little undead wizard on the road

"Congratulations on becoming an unprecedented Forbidden Spell Naming Master."

"Forbidden Spell Naming Master Introduction: Each day, you will gain one opportunity to input a phrase and rename an existing skill. Skills renamed by you will automatically upgrade to a Forbidden Spell."

"When the phrase is a song or musical piece, the naming success rate increases to 100%. When the skill is cast, the song will reverberate throughout the covered area, and the skill damage will be 10 million Forbidden Spell base damage + caster's magic damage * skill amplification value."

With a thought, the system panel immediately displayed a list of all his skills.

Just like in his previous life, he could choose one of the sixteen initial Mage professions and activate one skill for free.

After that, he would only be able to learn skills through skill books.

Lin Ling scanned all the Mage names on the system panel, and suddenly, the scene of the Undead Knight summoning the dead to kill him reappeared before his eyes.

A strong killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Activate Undead Mage."

"Undead Mage successfully activated."

"Profession Level: 1"

"Acquired Initial Skill: Summon Skeleton. Casting this skill can randomly summon a Level 1 Skeleton Warrior to fight."

"Do you wish to rename the skill? Please provide a phrase for the skill. If the phrase is a song title, the success rate is 100%."

"What song is suitable for Undead summoning?"

Lin Ling's mind quickly recalled all the songs he had heard in his three lifetimes.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he input the phrase in his mind: "Rename Summon Skeleton to: 'All Things Grow'."

"Naming successful. Initial skill [Summon Skeleton] automatically upgraded to Forbidden Spell 'All Things Grow'. After the skill is cast, all deceased creatures within a hundred-mile radius will temporarily revive and serve you."

"Casting a Forbidden Spell requires 1 million mana. Your mana is insufficient to cast the Forbidden Spell."

"You possess a passive skill: you can cast a Forbidden Spell skill once every two hours without consuming mana."

Lin Ling looked at the skill panel before him and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

Full-Time Mage is useless? It's simply a perfect match with Forbidden Curse Naming Art!

Any skill from any of the 16 Mage professions can be named as a Forbidden Spell.

With Forbidden Spell area-of-effect attacks, would leveling up still be difficult?

A sly smile quietly appeared on Lin Ling's face.

...

Lin Ling's departure made the atmosphere of the Ya Zi Reserve Team incredibly oppressive.

All members looked dispirited.

Li Jingliang's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Mengyan return, and he quietly asked, "Meng Yan, where did Team Leader Lin go?"

Zhou Mengyan's eyes were slightly red, as if she had cried. Hearing Li Jingliang's words now, she seemed lost in thought again.

"Mengyan Jie."

A girl named Yaoyao called softly.

Only then did Zhou Mengyan say, "Lin Ling went out of the city to level up."

Li Jingliang's eyes darted around: "Let's go level up too. Yaoyao and Lin Kun have both awakened as Archers, I'm a Warrior, Meng Yan is a Priest, and with Lin Laoda, we can form a team."

As soon as he spoke, the others' eyes lit up.

Although Li Jingliang didn't explicitly state it, everyone understood that he wanted to take Lin Ling to level up.

Everyone nodded. Lin Ling had previously said that if his talent wasn't good, he would ask them to help him level up.

Before, everyone thought it was just a joke. Lin Ling, in their eyes, was a god-like existence, so why would he need them to help him level up?

Unexpectedly, fate played a trick, and God Lin truly fell from grace.

They were willing to share experience and help Lin Ling raise his level first.

Their talents were not weak, and even if they started a few days late, they could catch up to or even surpass most people.

However, just as they were about to leave, Xiao Yan, as if he had seen through their thoughts, suddenly walked over.

"From now on, all members of the Ya Zi Reserve Team will team up to rush levels. Anyone who doesn't reach Level 10 today will not be able to become a core member and will lose the Dragon Nest recommendation qualification.

Those who meet the conditions will officially sign the Guild regularization agreement three days later and go to Autumn Wild Blue Cloth City, Ya Zi Guild Headquarters, to receive preferential resource cultivation.

Also, no one is allowed to help anyone outside the Ya Zi Guild level up. Once discovered, minor offenses will result in the cancellation of core membership, and severe offenses will result in expulsion!

I know you want to help Lin Ling, but this is actually harming him. Once he suffers a bit, he will naturally come back to beg me. Considering his contributions to the Guild, I will still take him in." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

At this moment, Zhou Mengyan looked at Xiao Yan as if he were an idiot. She truly couldn't understand why someone with Xiao Yan's intelligence could become the heir of the Xiao Corporation?

"Don't you believe that as soon as you expel him, other Guilds will immediately poach him?" Zhou Mengyan retorted.

"Not everyone has SS-grade talent like you. Those who think they can enter Dragon Nest on their own can leave now! Those who don't have that ability, come level up with me!" Xiao Yan said with a darkened face. As his words fell, he turned and walked out of the city.

And at this moment, Lin Ling had already taken a bus out of the South Gate of Xuanfu Base City.

Outside the South Gate, there is a river named Yanghe. The fifty-mile radius south of Yanghe is a beginner's leveling area.

Here, various monsters from Level 1-30 gather, such as pheasants, rabbits, slimes, lantern monsters, wild boars, fierce wolves, tigers, bandits, and tree demons.

Most of the monsters here are not very strong in combat. Their main purpose is to allow new players to adapt to the wilderness environment.

Once they reach Level 30, new players can accept a job change quest to complete their second advancement, completely leaving the beginner category.

Of course, in the early stages of awakening, wild boars above Level 8 are still very difficult for first-advancement new players.

Once surrounded by wild boars, even a Level 10 Warrior is at risk of falling.

Although the game has descended into reality and monsters respawn, if a person dies, they are truly dead.

Therefore, most of the humans who go out of the Base City to level up are in teams. Very few people solo level. Of course, there are some exceptional prodigies.

And once a player exceeds Level 30 and completes their second advancement, killing monsters in the beginner area will be deemed an invalid kill, bringing no experience whether solo or in a team.

So, basically, there won't be any flashy operations of old players taking new players.

New players can only upgrade by fighting on their own.

At this moment, many unattached players had already gathered on the south bank of Yanghe.

Lin Ling passed through the crowd without stopping, intending to continue south.

His target was Wild Boar Forest. The awakening ceremony happens once a year, and he needed to find an uninhabited area to test his skills.

And Wild Boar Forest was the best area. Although the job change ceremony had already started for over an hour, even if someone leveled up quickly, reaching Level 3 would be good.

This wasn't playing a game where you just click a few times and the monster dies.

"Lin Ling?"

Soon, someone recognized Lin Ling.

Some showed sympathetic gazes, while others still had fervent eyes.

"I still don't believe God Lin will fall from grace. How could he, the twelve-time champion of the simulation matches, just become an ordinary person?"

"Exactly, there are no more than ten SSS-grade talents worldwide, so how could it be a useless talent?"

"I heard he was expelled by Ya Zi. How about we go level up with God Lin?"

"Okay, I'll go."

"I'll go too."

Some whispered, and many even started walking towards Lin Ling.

"Oh, isn't this God Lin? Hahaha..."

Just then, a sarcastic voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

Lin Ling turned his head and saw a burly young man walking towards him with a longbow on his back.

"Soto?"

Lin Ling softly called out the person's name. It was indeed Soto, the Archer from Shenfeng Club who had awakened with A+ grade talent, Descendant's Blessing.

"Hahaha... I never thought that the mighty God Lin of Ya Zi would have a day of solo leveling."

Soto's mocking laughter was loud, immediately causing those Professional who wanted to come over to stop.

Lin Ling glanced at him, a slight curve on his lips, and continued forward.

His demeanor seemed to say that Soto wasn't even worthy of him pausing.

Seeing that he didn't even speak, Soto's face immediately darkened.

Before, you were God Lin in Ya Zi, and I couldn't compare to you. Now you've become the laughingstock of the entire Xuanfu Base City, and you're still so arrogant?

"Listen up, everyone! Anyone who dares to team up with Lin Ling is an enemy of me, Soto!"

Soto shouted loudly, and his longbow suddenly drew taut in an instant.

With the blessing of his A+ grade talent, he swiftly shot five arrows, killing a wild pheasant in the distance.

Seeing his fierce demeanor, some of the people who originally wanted to team up with Lin Ling immediately gave up the idea.

Soto had originally intended to provoke Lin Ling, but he didn't expect Lin Ling to show no emotion whatsoever from beginning to end.

"Hmph, a Full-Time Mage solo leveling, you won't even reach Level 10 by next year." Soto sneered coldly.

A Warrior beside Soto scratched his head: "Boss Soto, Lin Ling is still SSS-grade talent, and I heard he has sixteen professions. Wouldn't that mean he can cast sixteen skills at once? Will he level up very quickly?"

"Are you stupid? Doesn't casting skills consume mana? Are skill books that easy to get? You'll be Level 10, and he still won't even reach Level 2." Soto said with a face full of disdain.

...

Lin Ling continued south, and fewer and fewer people were leveling.

An hour later.

Lin Ling had already arrived at the outskirts of Wild Boar Forest.

What he hadn't expected was that there was actually someone solo leveling here.

A young man was hiding behind a rock, his white Mage robe emitting a faint white glow.

Perhaps because the game had merged with reality, Level 1 white equipment would glow when worn, giving newly awakened beginners an extraordinary experience.

However, equipment above Level 1, white equipment would not have any special effects.

And about a dozen meters away, a small Skeleton Archer was laboriously attacking a wild boar.

"Oh? It's an Undead Mage?"

Lin Ling looked at the person with some surprise.

Summoning Magic was not that rare, but the Undead branch belonged to a hidden profession.

Summoning Magic required signing a summoning contract with the summoned target by casting skills to perform a summon.

The Undead branch, however, directly forcibly summoned deceased creatures through necromancy, which is why Undead Mage also had an alternate name: Necromancer Summoner.

"What are you looking at?"

"Never seen an Undead Mage?"

"No wonder, what I awakened is a rare hidden profession. Don't you think the little skeleton is cool?"

"When I complete my second advancement, the number of skeletons I can summon will reach 3."

"When I complete my third advancement..."

"Hey? You, I haven't finished speaking, why are you leaving?"

"Do you want me to take you leveling?"
