189: Chapter 189 Job Change [Sword Domain Overlord]! Crafting an Epic-Level Puppet!

"You have consumed 26.4 million experience points."

"You have reached Rank 31."

"All your attributes +1; you have obtained 5 free attribute points."

Under the effect of [Class Growth Mastery], you have obtained 0.5% Critical Rate and 1% Critical Damage."

"You have consumed 33.3 million experience points."

"You have reached Rank 32."

"All your attributes +1; you have obtained..."

Under the effect of [Class Growth Mastery], you have obtained..."

"You have consumed 41 million experience points."

"You have reached Rank 33."

...

After successively consuming 670.5 million experience points...

"You have reached Rank 40."

"All your attributes +1; you have obtained 5 free attribute points."

Under the effect of [Class Growth Mastery], you have obtained 0.5% Critical Rate and 1% Critical Damage."

"Your class change was successful."

"You have obtained the Second Job Change class: [Sword Domain Sovereign]."

"You have obtained 150 free attribute points as class compensation."

"You have obtained 5% Critical Rate and 20% Critical Damage as class compensation."

"You have obtained Attack Distance +30% as class compensation."

"You have obtained Skill Area of Effect +50% as class compensation."

"You have obtained talent skills: [Domain Enhancement] and [Sword Puppet Crafting]."

Zhang Jian's eyes lit up.

He had finally succeeded in his class change!

The series of class compensations provided a massive boost in strength.

He couldn't help but marvel; it was truly worthy of being a Divine-Grade class!

In addition to the increase in basic attributes, two dedicated talent skills were automatically activated.

[Domain Enhancement]

Consume 10,000 Mana to open a dedicated Domain formed by swords. While you are within this Domain:

Basic Attack Power increases by 50%

Attack Distance increases by 100%

Evasion Rate increases by 10%

Critical Rate increases by 10%

Sword Puppets within the Domain receive a 50% boost to their own stats.

Friendly Professionals within the Domain receive a 30% boost to their own stats.

After the Domain is opened, it consumes 5,000 Mana and 1% of your HP per second.

When Mana is insufficient or HP falls below 10%, the Domain automatically stops.

For every 10 Ranks gained, the Domain effect increases by 20%.

For every additional Sword Puppet that is not lower than your own Rank, the Domain effect increases by 10%, up to a maximum of 200% of the original effect.

The first skill gave Zhang Jian quite a pleasant surprise.

He tried using it.

He found that although the consumption seemed high, it was not a problem at all given his ultra-high health regeneration speed.

Mana was even less of an issue; without even needing to recover, he could never use it all up!

In fact...

As long as he was willing...

He could keep this Domain active indefinitely!

And the second skill matched this one perfectly.

[Sword Puppet Crafting]

You are the king among swords, and even more so, a Great Master of sword-type Puppet crafting.

By consuming the following Materials, you can craft corresponding Puppets. You can also consume experience points to increase their Rank and equip them with gear.

legendary rank Puppet consumption:

100 catties of legendary rank adamant-type Materials

10 units of legendary rank mechanical Materials

10 units of legendary rank spiritual-type Materials

5 units of legendary rank energy recovery Materials

The Materials consumed for just a legendary rank Puppet seemed like quite a lot.

Zhang Jian only learned after asking the Reception Envoy that these Materials would be enough for a typical Puppet Master class to craft five to ten legendary rank Puppets.

But for him, it could only produce one.

And that was only for a legendary rank one.

The consumption for an epic-grade one was based on these quantities but required all corresponding Materials to be epic-grade.

It also required one mythical level BOSS monster core.

The crafting cost could be described as terrifying!

Amidst his astonishment, the Reception Envoy even suggested that Zhang Jian should consider it carefully.

If the crafted Puppet wasn't powerful enough, it would simply not be worth the cost.

Zhang Jian originally felt that this thing didn't seem to have much significance either.

After all, with his current strength, he could easily clear almost any Dungeon under Rank 70, activate the Hell difficulty, and quickly achieve a limit-level clear.

If there were an enemy he couldn't handle, one or two extra Puppets wouldn't make much difference.

However, Xuan Jizi did not think so.

Instead, he advised Zhang Jian to craft one or two as soon as possible.

According to him, in the entire Professional system of the Water Blue Planet, there had never been a [Sword Domain Sovereign] class before.

Nor had there been a Domain effect that could buff Sword Puppets.

A Sword Puppet crafted with such massive consumption shouldn't be too weak.

Perhaps there would be a place where they could be put to use.

Zhang Jian also felt his words made sense, so he prepared to give it a try.

Xuan Jizi even used his authority to directly open the Galaxy Academy's standard warehouse for Zhang Jian to choose from.

Soon.

He crafted his first legendary rank Puppet.

The entire Puppet was shaped like a human, about 1.8 meters tall, with a lean build.

Its body was in a streamlined male human form, looking extremely aesthetic.

After Zhang Jian increased its Rank by one, he found that the ratio of the Sword Puppet's basic attribute growth was similar to that of a typical top-tier class.

Compared to the versatility of the first one he crafted, he then successively crafted two more: a defensive type and an offensive type.

He found that the attributes of these two were even more extreme, and their overall effectiveness was even stronger than many top-tier classes.

Zhang Jian grew excited and prepared to attempt an epic-grade one.

Initially, the Reception Envoy was a bit worried.

He felt that the epic-grade required mythical level Materials and there was a chance of failure.

Given Zhang Jian's current level in Puppet crafting, the probability of success would likely be very low.

He wasn't stingy about the consumption of Materials; after all, this was personally opened by Dean Xuan Jizi, and the contributions Zhang Jian had made for the Professionals of the Water Blue Planet were enough to withstand such waste.

What he feared was that if Zhang Jian experienced successive failures, he might start to doubt himself and develop a sense of frustration.

This would be detrimental to his subsequent growth.

As the best freshman of this year's Galaxy Academy, the current Zhang Jian was not just a Professional with a boundless future, but the hope for the entire Water Blue Planet and all of humanity to face alien invasions in the future.

He didn't want anything to affect Zhang Jian's strength improvement or the change in his mindset.

And just after he frankly stated his concerns...

Zhang Jian gave a mysterious smile.

"You might not believe it, but I seem to have a bit of talent in Puppet refining!"

Since Zhang Jian said so with such a confident look...

The Reception Envoy said no more.

Instead, based on Zhang Jian's requirements, he quickly found all the necessary Materials.

In the refining room specially provided by the academy, Zhang Jian was busy at work.

His eyes held gravity, yet he wasn't nervous in the slightest.

What he had said to the Reception Envoy just now wasn't to comfort the other party.

It was because during the first refining, he had luckily triggered [King of Affixes] and obtained several corresponding affixes.

The second and third refinings had further enhanced the effects of those affixes.

With the help of these affixes, he was confident he could successfully refine it.

With confidence in his heart, Zhang Jian was naturally not worried at all.

As his hands moved quickly, a golden Puppet quietly took shape.
