Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Arcanist Job Change and Blue Ball Skill

[Your Basic One-Handed Sword Control proficiency has increased.][Basic One-Handed Sword Control: You now have a fundamental understanding of one-handed swords, and your power when using them has slightly increased.] Lis looked at the new entry for one-handed sword control under his Intermediate Wand Control, realizing that reaching basic and intermediate proficiency for any weapon was relatively easy, but advancing further was significantly harder. For instance, Lis had practiced spells for over a decade, but his proficiency with the magic wand was still only at the intermediate level, still a hair's breadth away from the advanced level, uncertain of when he would break through. At the same time, Lis also discovered that although his weapon proficiency continuously improved with Welf's instruction, similar to how NPCs in games directly teach skills through a click, deep concentration and active learning significantly quickened the proficiency growth. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After all, this is a real world where his system slightly differs from those in games. The knowledge and power he possessed were no longer merely game data but genuinely existed within his mind and body. This is much more fun than grinding in a game! Even though Welf and others were quite cautious, how could they avoid bumps and bruises during training? But how could Lis, feeling his strength grow, ever give up? He wholeheartedly dove into the training, enduring the pain and the pleasure. In the following days, Lis's days were packed; he spent the days on Belle Street learning various weapons' handling and techniques with Welf and a few guards, and at night, he continued his "boom boom boom" exploration of arcane arts in the basement of the mansion. His only leisure was occasionally having the young maid Rossi massage him for relaxation. Don't think otherwise, it's strictly professional! ----------------- The sixth day of training Kane Mansion, underground laboratory. With some soot on his face, Lis used the Clear Wind Technique to disperse the thick smoke of yet another failed attempt but showed no signs of despair. "I was too hasty again, the Fire Element's nature is more explosive and volatile, a too-stable magic rune combination actually reduces the power of the Fireball Technique, but this time's Element Model felt somewhat attuned to my magic power." After pondering for a moment, Lis adjusted the construction of the Element Model by changing the angle between the third long magic rune and the foundational magic rune on the nearby Magic Rune Burner. "Let's try this, adjust the angle of the third long magic rune and the foundational rune, and see the effect." He brought up the arcane subsystem and carefully started modifying the Fireball Technique Element Model once again. Lis took a deep breath; success or failure hinged on this moment! Just as Lis fed his magic power into his newly constructed Fireball Technique Element Model for the umpteenth time— Suddenly, a miraculous feeling arose in Lis. It was as though the red-glowing Element Model floating in the air had become part of his body. The magic power circulating through his body seemed to resonate with the newly constructed Element Model, continuously flowing into it. The fully supplied Element Model silently floated in front of Lis, and before he could study it further, it suddenly lit up, spun around, and transformed into a pale blue fireball the size of a fist before his eyes. Observing the fireball in his hand, Lis examined it with interest from all angles, sensing that he had complete control over this fireball, unlike the times it had unexpectedly exploded before. After examining it enough, Lis finally turned his attention back to the system panel. Just as he had successfully condensed the fireball, a bunch of system notifications popped up in the lower left corner of his vision, which he hadn't yet had time to read. ----------------- [You have successfully improved the Fireball Technique Model] [You have mastered a proprietary arcane spell "Fireball Technique (nameable)"] [Initiating Arcanist class change requirements assessment] [Assessment (1/3): Mage main profession... Assessment passed] [Assessment (2/3): Intelligence Attribute over 50... Assessment passed] [Assessment (3/3): Mastery of a proprietary arcane spell... Assessment passed] [All assessments passed, you can choose to class change to Arcanist] [Yes/No] ----------------- After much deliberation, since the final form is a blue fireball, let's call it... Blue Ball Skill! Lis, whose past life was not known for creative naming, named his first arcane spell Blue Ball Skill, feeling as if someone was dancing in front of his eyes. Shaking his head, Lis then looked at the Arcanist class change prompt. The Arcanist class change, unlike some specialized professions, does not require arranging a special ceremony; fulfilling the requirements is enough to advance on the spot. As for whether to change class to Arcanist? Nonsense, otherwise, why would he go through all the trouble to acquire the "Arcane Thought" specialty? Lis decisively confirmed "Yes". ----------------- [You have chosen to change your profession to Arcanist] [Changing profession......Change successful] [Your main profession[Mage]has been promoted to [Arcanist]] [You have attained a new milestone [Strongman's First Step (Silver Level)]] [You have acquired a new specialty [Rank Suppression]] ----------------- Lis Kain felt a sudden clarity in his mind, as if his thinking had sped up considerably, and it seemed he had gained new insights into various element models and their properties. Shaking his head, Lis brought up his attribute panel. ----------------- Name: Lis Kain Race: Human Level: 30 Life Value: 900/1050 Mana Value: 666/2040 Status: Normal Experience: 4396/170000 (Unallocated Experience Points[216820 Points]) Main Profession: Arcanist (Basic) Secondary Profession: None Talent: All-Purpose Attributes: Strength 35 Agility 36 Intelligence 68 (Attribute Modification) Charm 38 Mysterious 33 Endurance 35 Luck 3 Free Attribute Points 10 Specialties: [Arcane Thought]— Intelligence Attribute receives a 2x modifier, Elemental Affinity +100%, arcane subsystem unlocked [Advanced Fatigue Resistance]— Reduces the negative impacts of a fatigued state on the body, stamina recovery speed +50% [Rank Suppression]— You gain an extra power bonus when dealing with lower-tier professionals, current bonus (10%) Skills: Magic (Magic Hand, Cleaning Skill, Flash Technique...), One-Circle Magic (Fireball Technique, Ice Arrow Skill, Human Charm...), Second Circle Magic (Ice Blade Skill, Wind Walking Technique, Earth Escape Skill), Three-Circle Magic (Chain Fireball Technique), Three-Ring Magic (Blue Ball Skill), Warrior Martial Skill (Charge, Shield Slam, Acceleration...) Milestones: [Basic Mage (Bronze Level)], [Strongman's First Step (Silver Level)] Legend Level: 10 (Realm Level - Court Viscount Legend +10) Equipment: Jade Wand, Jade Talisman, Concentration Ring ----------------- Lis looked over the gains of the past few days, feeling quite fulfilled. The [Rank Suppression]specialty and [Strongman's First Step]are both essentials when you change to a high-tier profession, and their effects are quite satisfactory. The effect of [Rank Suppression]is simply a mowing-down tool, the lower the rank of the opponent compared to yourself, the higher the damage bonus. [Strongman's First Step]is straightforward; most milestones directly add free attribute points. He had also stealthily learned several martial skills from the guards through his [All-Purpose] talent, greatly enriching his harvest. Lis casually assigned the newly earned 10 free attribute points to his intelligence, contentedly tidied up his laboratory, and prepared to treat himself to an early rest today. The fate of potential cannon fodder always gave Lis a heavy sense of crisis, which only lessened slightly whenever he made progress in his abilities. He hoped that he could ultimately avoid the deathly conclusion~ Lying in bed, Lis sighed lightly and closed his eyes, entering a state of meditation.
