23: Characteristics of mixed-blood slaves, news from the real world

Real world.

Yun Province, Yun City, inside an ordinary house.

A ray of light flashed.

The next moment, Ye Xiao's figure appeared in the room.

Looking at the familiar surroundings.

Ye Xiao suddenly felt as if a lifetime had passed.

His journey in the Eternal World this day was truly spectacular.

"Hoo!"

After letting out a long sigh, Ye Xiao tried to open his panel.

[ID: Night Shadow]

[Level: 35]

[Profession: Mage]

[Free Attribute Points: 0]

[Attributes: Strength 82; Constitution 94; Agility 153; Intelligence 1476]

[Health: 101090 / 101090; Mana: 17110 / 17110]

[Skills: Fireball, Mana Spring, Experience Surge... Expand]

As long as one successfully awakens their Talent and enters the Eternal World.

The Professionals' level and attributes will be inherited 1:1 in the real world.

Looking at his incredibly magnificent attribute panel.

Ye Xiao was quite pleased.

With this, he had some ability to protect himself.

However, based on past experience.

It wouldn't be long until the Abyss Demons appeared on a large scale.

But for now, he was not strong enough to deal with such ferocious foes.

He must quickly make himself stronger.

With this thought, Ye Xiao wished he could immediately re-enter the Eternal World to quickly improve himself.

However, there was a limit to the time one could spend in the Eternal World.

Once the body reached its limit, one had to return to reality to rest.

If one forcibly stayed inside, their spirit could easily be damaged.

At best, they would go mad; at worst, they could suffer brain death.

The length of time one could stay in the Eternal World depended on the Professional's level and attributes.

Ye Xiao's current level was 35, but his Intelligence was as high as 979 points.

That's why he was able to stay in there for a full day.

He was confident that no Rookie this year would be able to stay longer than him.

In his current state, he would only need about 3 hours of rest before he could re-enter the Eternal World.

Fortunately, 3 hours later would still be in time for the Calamity Herald's refresh.

So it wouldn't be considered a waste of time.

As for Xue Ling, Ye Xiao ultimately let her return to Black Sand City.

According to Xue Ling.

The biggest difference between mixed-blood slaves and humans was that they did not awaken any Talent.

And their attributes after leveling up grew automatically based on their own conditions.

Unlike Human Job Holders, who were balanced and had a large number of free attribute points.

At the same time, even if mixed-blood slaves had Skill Stone, they couldn't use and learn them directly like Professionals.

Instead, they needed to slowly comprehend and grasp the rules and profound meanings within the Skill Stone before they could truly learn them.

Therefore, from these two aspects alone.

The cost of mixed-blood slaves' attributes and skill learning was far greater than that of Professionals.

But this did not mean that mixed-blood slaves were entirely inferior to Human Job Holders.

Because they also inherited some of the NPC's abilities, which was to increase skill proficiency through continuous practice and study of skills.

That is, like Ye Xiao, using Exquisite Gems to raise skill levels.

Even mixed-blood slaves with exceptional Talent could create entirely new skills on their own.

Just like earlier, Snow Phoenix was able to discern his level with just a glance and was extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations.

It wasn't, as outsiders said, due to her awakened Talent.

But rather, it was an ability she, as a mixed-blood slave, comprehended later on.

Furthermore, the reason she was able to suppress the other two legions in Black Sand City and display strength far superior to other Professionals of the same level.

Naturally, it was also due to her extremely high skill proficiency.

If she hadn't encountered Ye Xiao.

Given that woman more time, she would likely have grown to an even higher level.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao could only shake his head.

He could only blame her bad luck.

As for Xue Ling's ability, it was even more special.

It was a type of infectious mutation ability, meaning it spread through blood, causing the injected target to slowly mutate towards mixed-blood slave characteristics.

However, this ability was somewhat useless, and in the end, it became a tool for Snow Phoenix to control her subordinates.

But now, Snow Phoenix was dead.

There were still several hundred female members in the Golden Phoenix Legion, all of whom had been injected with Xue Ling's blood.

So, for Xue Ling, as the source of the infection, to control the Golden Phoenix Legion would naturally be effortless.

As for whether Xue Ling would betray him.

Ye Xiao wasn't too worried.

If Xue Ling didn't betray him, that would naturally be a good thing.

If she didn't keep her promise, Ye Xiao would make the Golden Phoenix Legion disappear from this world.

He didn't think he was overbearing or cruel.

Any enemy that threatened him, if he could kill them on the spot, he would.

If he couldn't kill them on the spot, he would eliminate them as soon as he had the ability to.

He would never leave the opponent any chance to resist.

This was a conclusion he had reached long ago after understanding the situation of this world after his transmigration.

Gathering his thoughts.

Ye Xiao quickly made something to eat.

At the same time, he opened his phone and logged into the Professional forum.

Ye Xiao wanted to search for information about the crimson moon token.

That thing had entered his body on its own, which made Ye Xiao somewhat worried.

Unfortunately, after a round of searching.

He didn't find any useful information.

This made Ye Xiao even more vigilant.

With a sigh, Ye Xiao then looked at the trending information.

## Prodigy Appears, Breaking the Novice Realm Record.

## Night Shadow! A Name Destined to Be Etched in History.

## After Seventy Years, Another Unowned Secret Realm Conquered, Who Exactly Is the Rookie Night Shadow?

## Night Shadow, a Rookie with the Potential to Go Further... Without exception, almost all of them were related to him.

And most of them were speculating about his identity.

At the same time, there was also a lot of information trying to recruit him.

All from various families and forces across different regions.

What surprised Ye Xiao was that the Bai family was among them.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but chuckle.

He was quite curious to know what kind of expression the Bai family would have when they realized that the person they wanted to recruit was precisely the one they had once discarded like trash.

However, Ye Xiao naturally wouldn't expose his identity in the real world for a moment of satisfaction.

The real world did not have various restrictions to protect low-level Professionals.

He would never expose his identity before he had sufficient strength.

At this moment, a piece of news piqued Ye Xiao's interest.

## A Detailed Discussion on Rookie King Night Shadow's Talent, The Real Reason Behind His Frenzied Purchase of Skill Stone.

Ye Xiao clicked on it and took a look.

Then he was somewhat surprised.

The person who wrote this message analyzed Ye Xiao's earlier actions of sweeping up Skill Stone and concluded that.

The reason Night Shadow purchased Skill Stone so frequently might not be, as the public speculated, to synthesize high-level Skill Stone.

The reason was that although high-level Skill Stone were powerful, their usage conditions and mana cost were not something a Rookie could sustain.

However, Night Shadow not only achieved an SSS-rank rating in the Novice Realm but also conquered the Miasma Hidden Forest.

It was clear that this series of feats could not be accomplished with just a few skills.

Subsequently, the person who wrote this content proposed what he considered a reasonable guess.

Night Shadow's Talent should be an extraordinary amplification of skills.

And it must be an SSS-rank Talent never before seen in the history of the Eternal World.

His argument quickly gained a lot of support.

Some people even began to fabricate various effects of Ye Xiao's Talent based on his reasoning.

Ye Xiao shook his head at this.

Although this answer was not entirely correct, it was somewhat close.

Indeed, one should not underestimate the world.

However, no matter how strong these people's insight, they probably wouldn't be able to imagine that his Talent was not SSS-rank.

But rather, a super-god level existence.

Thus, Ye Xiao checked a lot more information about the Eternal World.

However, most of it was like a news broadcast, not very relevant to him.

So, he closed the forum.

At this moment, he suddenly saw several messages on his phone.

He had been busy checking the news earlier and hadn't noticed them for a while.

Opening them now, he found they were from the chubby Chu Xiaofeng.

And they were sent even before he returned to the real world.

"Yezi, have you come out?"

"Yezi, what profession did you choose? Your big brother Fatty chose Rogue, and I'm already level 15. Reply quickly when you see this, so I can keep an eye out for equipment and Skill Stone for you."

"Yezi, did you see the world announcement earlier? That big shot named 'Night Shadow' is too fierce! First, he broke the Novice Realm record, and then he conquered the Miasma Hidden Forest, which no one had been able to enter for decades. Oh my! I declare him my idol from now on."

"Damn it, you only have an F-rank Talent, why aren't you out yet? Aren't you afraid of sudden death in there?"

... "Damn you, why haven't you replied for so long? Are you working too hard in there and sleeping from exhaustion?"

"Damn! You can really sleep. My dad is already calling me back to level up, so I won't talk to you anymore. My ID in there is 'Elegant Assassin'. Remember to contact me when you go online; I'll take you monster hunting."

... Chu Xiaofeng left more than a dozen messages, densely packed with concern, bringing a smile to Ye Xiao's face.

His heart also felt a bit more touched.

And seeing Chu Xiaofeng's endless admiration for 'Night Shadow' also made Ye Xiao smile.

In this world, perhaps only this chubby friend, with whom he had grown up, genuinely cared for him.

Even knowing that he had awakened an "F-rank Talent," he had never shown any disdain.

Ye Xiao put his phone aside.

Then he lay down on the bed to rest.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes.

Ye Xiao's mind was filled with thoughts about the crimson moon token.

What exactly was this crimson moon?

Although the effect of his super-god-level Talent had been enhanced because of it.

Facing the unknown always made one feel a bit uneasy.

Suddenly, a faint sound rang out.

--- ---

[Ding! Do you wish to enter the Crimson Moon?]

--- ---

Ye Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"A delusion?"

However, the next moment, the same prompt sounded again.

--- ---

[Ding! Do you wish to enter the Crimson Moon?]

--- ---

At this moment, Ye Xiao was completely sure he hadn't misheard.

Enter? Or not enter?

He hesitated.

But soon, he thought that this thing was on Snow Phoenix before, and she didn't have any problems.

With Ye Xiao's strength, which far surpassed Snow Phoenix's, he figured it shouldn't be a dangerous place.

Moreover, the Eternal World was vast.

So vast that even after a hundred years, there were still many unexplored unknown areas and many unknown mysteries.

Perhaps, this crimson moon was an opportunity.

Otherwise, Snow Phoenix, as a mixed-blood slave, displayed strength that was almost completely unmatched by her identity and status.

This could be seen from her sister, Xue Ling.

Understanding the key.

Ye Xiao no longer hesitated and decisively said:

"Yes!"

The next moment, his vision suddenly blurred.

And he entered a strange space.
