374: New professional skills, the magical skills of the beastmaster!

“What…what the hell is this?!”

By the Wuding River, Wang Shouyi and the others, hiding in the bushes, all had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

In the distance, the figure standing amidst the corpses of Unicorn Rhinoceroses emitted a brilliant light.

“This must be fake?!”

Wang Shouyi couldn’t help but groan, his face filled with disbelief.

No matter how he looked at it, this light resembled the phenomenon that appears during a Rank 4.

But how was this possible?!

If he was only Rank 4 now, didn't that mean this young man, who had just swiftly killed eleven Unicorn Rhinoceroses, was still only Rank 3?

Could a Rank 3 Awakener do such a thing? That was simply preposterous!

“Boss, am I hallucinating?”

“This kid, he’s actually undergoing a Rank 4 ceremony? Is he playing a joke on us because he found us?”

Someone in the Unicorn Rhinoceros Hunting Team muttered in disbelief.

“How would I know?!”

Wang Shouyi shook his head in confusion.

As a Awakener who had long since entered Rank 4, he could feel that the aura from the ceremony not far away was Real and undeniable.

That was a genuine Rank 4 ceremony, absorbing the magic crystals of the Five Elements attributes—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—to enhance the Awakener’s resistance to these five attributes.

However…

This genuine promotion ceremony, coupled with the scene of the young man instantly slaying the Unicorn Rhinoceroses, looked more and more absurd the more he thought about it!

Since when could a Rank 3 Awakener kill Rank 125 Unicorn Rhinoceroses like chickens?

Was this guy truly human?

“I know who he is!”

Just then, as Wang Shouyi and the others felt their worldview shattering, the young man surnamed Yang in the team suddenly spoke with an excited expression.

“Who?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, they immediately drew the attention of Wang Shouyi and the others.

These individuals, who could be considered elites among the Awakeners around the Emerald Forest, all looked at the young man surnamed Yang with curious expressions, like elementary school students.

“Wang Chen!”

“A freshman at Blazing Dragon University, our Dragon Country’s strongest new student this year!”

“Only he could possess such terrifying combat power at Rank 3!”

The young man surnamed Yang spoke with a tone of awe, his face full of admiration and longing.

“What?!”

Hearing his words, Wang Shouyi and the others were stunned.

Wang Chen?

A freshman at Blazing Dragon University?

The strongest new student this year?

Are you kidding me?!

This year’s new student, who had only been a Awakener for less than half a year, already possessed such formidable combat power?

Reaching Rank 4 in less than half a year, and his combat power far exceeded expectations?

Wang Shouyi and the others exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat dejected.

Compared to him, their decades of life seemed to have been wasted, there was simply no comparison!

…

…

On the other side.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As the mysterious power dissipated, the Rank 4 ceremony concluded.

Wang Chen opened his eyes, curiously looking around.

At this moment, in his line of sight, the surrounding scenery became even clearer, and he could perceive a subtle, mysterious energy flowing within the world.

This was not an illusion, but the most significant enhancement a Awakener gained after completing a Rank 4.

Five Elements attribute resistance increased by twenty percent.

When using skills, consumption decreased by five percent, and power increased by five percent.

Rank 4 was an enhancement to a Awakener’s Silver Body; all Awakeners received the same boost during this promotion, without increasing attributes, but rather advancing the Awakener’s Physique further towards the extraordinary.

However, although all Awakeners received the same ritual enhancement, the strength differences were very obvious when it came to individuals.

After all, depending on the attributes, a five percent increase in skill power had completely different effects.

Wang Chen felt that his combat power had increased by about ten percent after completing his Rank 4.

Now, he had an even greater advantage when facing ordinary Six-revolution professionals.

Taking the Blood Clan Earl he encountered in the forest earlier as an example, before, it would have taken him about ten moves to kill him, but now, nine moves would suffice.

“I didn’t expect that only half a month has passed since I met the Blood Clan Earl, and now he has become a unit of combat power measurement?”

Thinking playfully, Wang Chen familiarized himself with the changes in his body, then looked at his newly Awakened Awakener skill.

【Skill Replacement (S): Beast Master exclusive Awakener skill, active skill. After use, the Beast Master can add the Beast Pet’s talent skills to their own skill bar and use them.

(Note: Skill Replacement can be selected once daily. After use, it enters cooldown. It can be changed after twenty-four hours. Subject to skill Rank limitations, current maximum number of replaceable skills: one)】

“This…?”

Seeing his newly Awakened Awakener skill, Wang Chen couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

He hadn’t expected that the Rank 4 Awakener skill would be Skill Replacement, an S-Rank skill.

This could be said to be a Divine Skill for a Beast Master!

After all, a Awakener’s energy, or rather, skill points, were limited. While learning too many skills might seem to enrich combat methods, it was impossible to raise each skill to a high Rank, and the power exerted actually had an upper limit.

However, with Skill Replacement, it was different. By simply investing skill points, he could gain additional skills, and their power would be no different from when used by the Beast Pet.

“It seems my idea of buying skill books needs to be put on hold!”

“This new Awakener skill is as important as Damage Transfer; both need to have their Ranks prioritized.”

Silently checking the skill description, Wang Chen’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

As an S-Rank skill, Skill Replacement’s Rank limit was five, meaning that when it reached its highest Rank, he would gain five additional skills from his Beast Pets.

It was important to know that his Beast Pets were all Ancestral Divine Beasts, and every skill they possessed was SSS-Rank, and their power would grow as the Beast Pet improved.

It was foreseeable that for a long time to come, he would not need to worry about skill books.

“I need to think carefully, which skill from the three little ones should I replace?”

Stroking his chin, Wang Chen silently pondered.

Ice Purity, Susu, Tuantuan.

As Ancestral Divine Beasts, each skill the three little ones possessed was incredibly powerful.

Currently, he could only choose one, which was simply a torment for Wang Chen.

“I wish I could have them all!”

Muttering to himself, Wang Chen finally selected four skills from the three little ones’ skills for the final choice.

Ice Purity’s Extreme Cold Breath.

Susu’s Source of Magic Power.

Tuantuan’s Celestial Metal Body and Geng Metal Battle Body.

These four skills were the best combinations Wang Chen chose based on his own situation.

Among them, Extreme Cold Breath could greatly compensate for his lack of attack power, and when combined with Ice Purity, it could even form a two-sided suppression.

As for Susu’s Source of Magic Power.
