Undead Contract, Lightning Power

Prompt sounds kept ringing in his ears.

Lin Xuan wasn't in a hurry to check them.

Seeing many professionals gathering behind him, he quickly put away the BOSS's corpse and the dropped items, then immediately chose to exit the Secret Realm.

As a dizzy sensation came over him, Lin Xuan's vision went dark.

Immediately after, he stumbled and appeared in Jiangcheng's Dungeon Hall.

This was the entrance to the Newbie Trial Secret Realm.

Since it was closed, the people who usually set up stalls here had already left.

Seeing no one around, Lin Xuan didn't linger.

He went straight back home.

At this time, it was just dawn.

A night's journey in the Secret Realm had already made him feel a bit tired.

Lin Xuan simply washed up and ate some dry rations.

Lying on the bed, although very sleepy, Lin Xuan still waved his hand to open his panel.

Before going to sleep, he planned to take stock of his gains.

Ignoring the dense reward prompts, Lin Xuan first looked at his skill points.

Killing two BOSSes rewarded a total of four skill points.

Summon Undead was currently a level two skill.

Upgrading to level three required three skill points.

Lin Xuan didn't hesitate and directly clicked to upgrade.

Then, he turned his attention to his backpack.

He didn't need to look at the materials.

These could only be utilized by those with life professions.

After waking up, he would just go to the Professional Hall and sell them on the exchange.

As for gold coins, he had a total of over two thousand from the entire Secret Realm.

That wasn't even enough to cover the cost of potions and equipment he bought before entering the Secret Realm.

However, there was a good amount of equipment.

Nineteen common pieces of equipment, seven green excellent pieces, five blue rare pieces, and even one red outstanding piece.

Selling them would definitely bring in a large profit.

However, before that, Lin Xuan wanted to see if there was any equipment suitable for him.

He didn't need to look at the common ones, and he quickly scanned the green ones.

They were very ordinary, only providing basic stat bonuses.

The blue ones weren't much better.

Only one hat equipment had a unique property.

It seemed to have been obtained from killing the Ironhide Pig leader.

It could increase maximum HP by two percent.

It might be a bit of a waste for others, but it was quite good for him.

Finally, there was the red outstanding-grade ring equipment.

[Equipment: Magic Frog Ring]

[Quality: Outstanding]

[Effect: HP +50, Mana +50, Strength +2, Agility +2]

[Property: Magic Power Flow, restores 1 point of mana per minute to the professional]

[Equip Requirement: Mage-type profession level 5 or higher]

“Not bad, this is a great top-tier equipment!”

Lin Xuan was very satisfied with the ring's effect and happily put it on his finger.

One should know that ordinary professionals could only recover one point every ten minutes, and they had to be out of combat.

After checking the equipment, Lin Xuan looked at the last three items in his backpack.

Two scrolls and one Magic Card.

“I didn't expect to get a Magic Card on my second day of job advancement.”

“If word of this got out, the shock would probably be no less than me awakening a talent.”

A smile hung on Lin Xuan's lips.

He didn't rush to check the card, but first took out the scrolls.

Both of these scrolls were skill scrolls.

One was dropped by killing a BOSS.

The other was a reward for clearing the Newbie Trial Secret Realm.

[Skill: Reckless Charge]

[Cooldown: 3 minutes]

[Effect: After casting, charge forward, with a knock-back effect]

[Learning Requirement: Level 5 or higher, Warrior-type professional]

The skill was pretty good.

Although he couldn't use it, this skill was basically a must-have for front-line warriors.

It should be worth some money.

Lin Xuan temporarily put it away and looked at the other skill book.

[Skill: Undead Contract]

[Cooldown: 24 hours]

[Effect: After casting, it can detect surrounding Undead Souls, and can forcibly contract them as summoned creatures. This summoned creature has companion attributes and can grow.]

[Learning Requirement: Only professional Lin Xuan can learn]

Whoosh—

Lin Xuan sat up straight.

This skill had too long a cooldown, but its effect was also extremely heaven-defying.

The summoned creature could actually grow, which was equivalent to a pet.

More importantly, it had companion attributes.

In other words, in the future, for dungeons that restrict the number of entrants, such as requiring three people to enter, he alone would only need to bring two contracted summoned creatures to enter!

One should know that the rewards for entering a dungeon with three people are different from those with five people.

A five-person team would definitely drop more rewards.

Now that contracted beasts had companion attributes, it also meant that he could solo dungeons and enjoy the rewards of a five-person entry!

Heaven-defying, too heaven-defying!

“As expected of a skill book that perfectly suits my profession.”

This trip to the Newbie Trial Secret Realm was too worthwhile!

He took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

Lin Xuan no longer thought too much and clicked to learn.

As the scroll disappeared, the third skill slot on his skill panel lit up.

Checking the skill description, the mana cost was actually all of his current mana!

If his mana was empty, the professional would fall into abnormal states such as weakness and mental exhaustion.

He had a mana regeneration ring, and he needed to constantly stack HP, so he would never run out of blue potions in his backpack.

Naturally, he wouldn't care about these.

However, the number of contracts made him a bit uncomfortable.

Level one Undead Contract could only contract one summoned creature.

To consistently solo dungeons, he had to upgrade the skill.

“I'll go to the dungeon to farm skill points after I wake up.”

Having made up his mind, Lin Xuan took out the last item.

This was a purple Magic Card the size of a playing card.

The back had a yellow lightning bolt printed on it, and the front had the Magic Card's function description.

[Magic Card: Lightning Power]

[Type: Skill]

[Quality: Epic]

[Level: Lv1]

[Effect: After equipping, can bind a skill, causing that skill to have a chance to paralyze the target with Lightning Power after casting.]

[Note: Paralysis chance and duration increase with level.]

“It really is an Epic-grade Magic Card!”

Lin Xuan excitedly clenched his fist.

Magic Cards were the core of all professionals on Blue Star.

There were many types, including but not limited to skills, equipment, pets, attributes, and even talents!

Magic Cards had powerful effects; typically, each tier unlocked eight card slots.

However, when a professional was at Tier 1, they had nine.

This was because there was an additional, rarest and most difficult to obtain, talent card slot that could only equip one card and could not be replaced.

Nine at Tier 1, then eight unlocked at each subsequent tier.

The function of Magic Cards greatly increased the development potential of various professions.

Only by possessing Magic Cards that suited one's profession could an ordinary profession completely dominate a rare profession.

For example, General Li, the strongest professional in Xia Kingdom.

His strength not only came from having an SSS-grade talent but also from possessing several Magic Cards that perfectly matched his profession.

Hoo—

Lin Xuan let out a long breath, calming the excitement in his heart.

Then, with a wave of his arm, a disc appeared in the void.

The disc emitted a faint light, and its background was covered with complex runes.

In the center of the disc, a rainbow-colored Magic Card floated, surrounded by eight empty card slots the size of playing cards, rotating around it.

Lin Xuan stood up and placed the skill card in his hand into one of the card slots.

The next moment, the disc disappeared, and a prompt popped up in front of him.

[Skill Card Lightning Power equipped. Please select a skill to bind.]

Seeing this, Lin Xuan didn't hesitate and directly bound Summon Undead.

The Magic Card's description stated that the skill had a chance to trigger Lightning Power after casting.

But when used with this skill, every Skeleton Soldiers's attack would have a chance to paralyze the enemy!

This wasn't blind confidence.

Rather, when he was researching information last night, he noticed a crucial piece of information.

The current number one Necromancer in Xia Kingdom, his fame came from binding a red outstanding Water Wave Power Magic Card to his Summon Undead skill.

Every attack from his Skeleton Soldierss had a chance to trigger small water waves, slowing down enemies.

Because of this, that professional was respectfully called "Master Water Wave."

“It's a pity the skill effect is paralysis; if it were stun, my twenty Skeleton Soldierss could basically control a monster to death when attacking it.”

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan smiled faintly; he seemed a bit dissatisfied.

A red skill card, combined with Summon Undead, made him the number one Necromancer in Xia Kingdom.

With this purple Magic Card and his transcendent talent, why couldn't he reach the top of the world in the future!

The gains from the Newbie Secret Realm were very good.

Lin Xuan began to look forward to his upcoming dungeon journey.

He closed the panel and soon fell into a deep sleep.

At the same time, as the sun slowly rose higher, more and more people rushed to the Jiangcheng Dungeon Hall.

At twelve noon, it was time for this year's newly advanced professionals' level ranking to open.
