The 【Fla Envoy】 brought Jiang He a new professional specialty.
【Fla Body——Able to transform the body into a half-fla state, gaining partial damage reduction, significant fire mastery, strength, resistance, and short-term hovering ability.】
Unlike 【Myriad Words】, 【Fla Body】 had no growth potential.
It was similar to the students’ 【Focus】, an active specialty that could bring considerable combat power.
Especially the short-term hovering ability—in urban terrain, it was practically half of a flight ability, extrely practical.
Moreover, when Jiang He spent 1 skill point to learn the Fla Envoy’s initial skill, 【Spark of Fla】—
【Spark of Fla——Active skill, consus ntal power, nourishes one’s own Fire Source, producing the sa effect as absorbing a Fire Seed.】
The two skill paths that followed the Fla Envoy, 【Blaze】 and 【Self-Immolation】, opened Jiang He’s eyes even wider.
Among them, the Blaze path was similar to the Fire Controller profession, a progression that continued to enhance fla intensity and fire-control ability, but with so upgrades.
The Self-Immolation path, however, was different. It was no longer rely strengthening fla resistance and such, but rather supplenting, perfecting, and reinforcing the 【Fla Body】 specialty.
It was an entirely different path.
“As long as enough skill points are invested into the Self-Immolation path, combined with the Fla Body specialty…”
“It can even be considered a unique 【Talent】!”
Jiang He could not help but exclaim.
If the Word Keeper profession created by White Crane was a completion and reinforcent of one’s natural Talent—
Then the Fla Envoy profession created by Teacher Zhong was a completely different approach, sacrificing so enhancent effects in exchange for expanding Talent and diversifying techniques.
It could not be said which was stronger or weaker, but each showcased a different possibility of 【Self-Created Professions】.
“If I were to create my own profession…”
…
The Fla Envoy profession showed Jiang He Teacher Zhong’s construction ideas, giving him much inspiration.
Unfortunately, he was still far from reaching B-rank, and could only bury these thoughts in his heart.
Besides inspiration, the combat strength boost from this new profession was not small either.
After all, Jiang He possessed an X-rank profession that did not belong to his current realm—the 【World Destroyer】.
The reinforcent it brought was a noble 「Independent Multiplier」 that could be applied to all lower-level profession specialties and skills.
【Fla Body】 was already a combat-oriented specialty. With the enhancent of the World Destroyer, the strength it could unleash was difficult to estimate.
Coincidentally, very soon it would be ti for the pre-training combat test.
Jiang He was already eager to experience the power of Fla Body.
However…
He had just trained with Du Lingwei for a period, and his ntal power was already exhausted.
To directly participate in the combat test would be to fight with an empty ntal bar and empty stamina, undoubtedly a huge disadvantage.
After reporting his situation to Zhong Honglian, he successfully obtained a spiritual supplent, and also secured the right to spectate battles and participate in the final test.
A loss turned into a gain.
After all, in battles, intelligence was extrely important.
By watching more of others’ fights, Jiang He could gain more experience and make more preparations.
This kind of pre-booked final entry arrangent was not much different from insider privilege.
Don’t ask. If asked, the answer was—this is my turf, ho-field advantage!
…
The half-hour preparation ti flew by.
May 26th, 18:00 in the afternoon.
All the participants of the training camp gathered.
At this mont, nearly three hundred boys and girls stood in the empty, deserted Central State City. Above them was an endless pitch-black sky.
Standing among the crowd, Jiang He raised his head. In his mind, countless demons surrounding a scarlet-eyed figure overlapped with the darkness above.
Not only the training, even the combat test venue was chosen in the Abyss of Demons?
These high-rank Transcendents truly dared to do it…
Then again—
The mirrored city captured from the Abyss was indeed very suitable for combat training.
Here, Transcendents did not need to worry about environntal factors. They could unleash their power recklessly, fighting with all their might.
“14 cities, 287 Transcendents, all present.”
“You already know all the details. Now, this will be the first combat test before training.”
“This test will determine the initial resources you are allocated, as well as your subsequent training squads…”
As Zhong Honglian spoke, five tal humanoid figures suddenly appeared on the empty ground beside her.
No introduction was needed. Just seeing these five distinctive tallic figures, many students—including Jiang He—imdiately recognized them.
The Talent creation of the S-rank Transcendent 【Steel King】—the 【tal Knights】!
“These five tal Knights will be the testers this ti.”
“They will adjust their power according to your base energy level, and will gradually increase their strength based on the progression of the battle.”
“What you need to do is fight with all your strength and push them to unleash even greater power.”
After finishing, Zhong Honglian turned to You Chunsheng and said:
“Let’s begin.”
You Chunsheng nodded slightly.
The next mont, space shifted, and everyone appeared mid-air.
Below, several high-rise buildings were neatly sliced apart like toys, reshaped into blocks, and rearranged into five wide, flat platforms.
The remaining stones were sculpted into a giant pillar, erected at the center of the five platforms.
Everyone landed on top of the giant pillar, while the five tal Knights each occupied one platform.
In an instant, the battlefield was assembled.
This was the power of an S-rank spatial Talent!
The students stared wide-eyed. In the hands of this A-rank spatial Transcendent, the world seed to have beco a toy!
Zhong Honglian’s expression remained calm: “We’ll begin with the students from Dachang City.”
“Qiu Xiangyu, Zhuo Xi, Duan Xiaoxing, Kong Lingyao, Yang Jin…”
Each ti Zhong Honglian spoke a na, a student appeared on the platform.
These students were not of the sa age. So were high schoolers, so were middle schoolers—
Jiang He even saw a short child, clearly still of elentary school age.
But in the Transcendent world, age did not determine ability.
Even if it was a child, standing here ant having awakened a B-rank or above Transcendent Talent, truly a Transcendent lifeform!
At this mont, they unleashed their Transcendent powers!
F-rank, E-rank, D-rank, D-rank, C-rank!
The tal Knight opposite them sensed their power, and its aura rose accordingly, stopping after reaching a certain level.
The next mont, both sides moved and collided—the battle began.
As the fight continued, the tal Knight’s aura kept rising.
From “matching energy level” to gradually becoming “matching battle strength.”
Above the platform, numbers appeared mid-air, clearly marking the tal Knight’s combat strength changes.
38 base energy level (F-rank) → 40 combat strength → 60 combat strength → 80 combat strength → 100 combat strength (E-rank)…
Seeing the changes in combat strength numbers, then looking at the increasingly struggling child on the platform, Jiang He could not help but ponder.
So this was the testing thod…
Or rather, this was the true purpose of the training—
A Transcendent’s comprehensive energy level and data were rely self-assessnts of physical qualities and profession skills, not necessarily representative of actual combat strength.
Just like with the sa physical condition, an ordinary person could not defeat a well-trained soldier.
In real combat, even an F-rank Transcendent might have the chance to kill a D-rank Transcendent!
Therefore, faced with the coming apocalypse, the Council valued the comprehensive combat strength of Transcendents even more.
Whether B-rank or A-rank Talents, only those who could convert “energy level” into greater “combat strength” were true geniuses!
And what they sought to train were precisely such geniuses!
“But a Transcendent’s ability is not limited to combat.”
“Support, scouting, and other roles also played huge functions. They could not be asured solely by combat strength…”
Jiang He shook his head slightly.
This was only the first test after all. The Council mbers were all high-ranking Transcendents; they certainly had more thorough considerations than him.
Instead of overthinking, it was better to think about—
Looking at the tal Knights in the arena, Jiang He’s eyes revealed a trace of curiosity and anticipation.
“What is my combat strength, exactly?”
