Afternoon.
On the playground.
"So, it was people from the Song family who were looking for you just now?"
Xiao ngyu asked curiously.
"Yes," Shen Ye sighed and recounted the events that had transpired earlier.
"So the person who took action in the hotel back then was Miss Song the second's people!" Xiao ngyu had a sudden realization.
"I heard she was not doing well, so I found sothing capable of lifting the curse and had her people take it back," Shen Ye said.
"Not doing well? Has it really beco that serious?" Xiao ngyu murmured.
"Is there perhaps so hidden story behind this?" Shen Ye asked.
"A well-known event from the past—one where two sisters underwent the family's talent assessnt together. The elder sister was identified as possessing a very powerful talent, yet it seed the younger sister had an argunt with her on the spot... Her father slapped her unconscious," Xiao ngyu said, her eyes filled with sympathy as she spoke softly:
"After that, her health was always poor; sotis she'd be wildly irrational, at other tis speaking nonsense to the void—so say she was cursed, others that she went mad. But gradually, there was no more news of her."
"I never imagined it would co to this."
"In all these years, has there really been no word from her?" Shen Ye asked, puzzled.
"I heard she had tried attending school, but was bullied there and subsequently dropped out," Xiao ngyu explained.
Shen Ye had been calm all along, but he was visibly moved by these words:
"A great family like the Song, and soone dared to bully their second Miss?"
Xiao ngyu paused for a mont, muttering softly:
"Right... why didn't her parents stand up for her... "
Just then, the bell for class rang.
The two stopped talking and returned to their respective teams to stand in order.
Officer Wu ca onto the playground and said loudly:
"Alright! You will all begin to attempt employnt tomorrow."
"But do you et the requirents for that career, reaching the minimum level necessary to learn that profession?"
"Let explain."
A mining hoe appeared in his hand.
"For example."
"If the profession is a Miner Soldier, then one must have at least 7 points of strength and 2 points of spiritual power in the basic attributes to qualify for learning the skills of a Miner Soldier—"
"Swinging the hoe to prospect for ore."
Officer Wu swung the hoe, lightly tapping it on the ground.
The ground imdiately cracked open with seven or eight fissures.
At the sa ti, dull sounds ca from beneath the ground.
Officer Wu listened for a mont and explained, "Alright, I just prospected for ore just now—of course, there's not going to be any mineral deposits here."
"But by mastering this skill, one qualifies as a competent Miner Soldier and becos successfully employed!"
"Don't look down on Miner Soldiers!"
"Mining is the most basic underground activity. Any profession must know how to mine; otherwise, you're not qualified to enter the underground world."
"Did you all get that?"
Everyone was surprised.
Because from what everyone observed, Officer Wu did not seem to exert much effort, yet the ground opened up.
And then there were those underground sounds.
Is this what a skill is?
In Shen Ye's eyes, however, things looked different.
The instant Officer Wu swung the hoe, Shen Ye saw that a pangolin clear appeared on it.
As soon as the hoe touched the ground, the pangolin imdiately burrowed into the underground following the cracks.
"Did you see that? The pangolin?"
Shen Ye asked Xiao ngyu in a low voice.
"A pangolin? Where?" Xiao ngyu exclaid in surprise.
Shen Ye fell silent for a mont.
...It seems that one must have the Dharma Eye to see that animal.
Thus.
Aside from himself, the others who can see the pangolin here are—
He turned his head to look at Nangong Sirui, but noticed Nangong Sirui was also looking back at him.
Nangong Sirui pointed at Officer Wu and signaled to Shen Ye with a gesture.
"?" Shen Ye.
Nangong Sirui raised an eyebrow, pointed to his own mouth, and then gestured towards Officer Wu again.
Shen Ye then understood.
The other party was signaling for him to ask Officer Wu.
—As a person carefully cultivated by a great family, Nangong Sirui certainly knew what that was.
But he wanted Shen Ye to ask.
...Not for his own sake, but to help fellow students better understand the Dharma Realm.
Even, he might consider it quite important, thinking Shen Ye also needed to be aware of this knowledge sooner.
Interesting.
This Xiao San's mind was indeed full of ideas.
"Instructor," Shen Ye imdiately raised his hand and asked aloud, "I noticed sothing on the hoe when you swung it."
"You can see it? As expected of a disciple from the Chaotic Heaven Gate. Well, then I'll talk about it," Officer Wu praised without reservation, with an extrely cordial attitude.
He rested the hoe on his shoulder and announced loudly:
"According to your human strength classification, Strength is divided into nine layers."
"You first need to find employnt."
"The essence of a profession is the manner in which you employ the power of the Magical Realm!"
"Successful initiation will stir your Life-Bound Star in the Law Domain to shine upon you, manifesting the Star Law Phase and blessing you with the strength of the Law Domain, as well as mastery over your first professional skill."
"At that point, you would have successfully advanced to the First Layer of the Law Domain in terms of strength."
"How is this First Layer different from our usual combat power?" Zhang Xiaoyi couldn't help asking.
He voiced the curiosity of many commoner students.
Officer Wu snapped:
"Fool! Once you activate the strength of the First Layer of the Law Domain in battle, it's as if you're acting on behalf of the deities, and compared to your forr power, it's like heaven and earth!"
"Can you explain that a bit clearer?" Shen Ye asked.
Officer Wu's voice softened, as if caressed by a spring breeze:
"Putting it further—"
"The Dharma Realm's acknowledgent of you crystallizes as a 'na,' and a professional with a 'na' represents a deeper trust and support from the Dharma Realm."
"Professionals with a 'na' can mobilize the power of the Law Domain to an even greater extent, unleashing infinitely powerful professional skills."
"Then can we receive a 'na'?" Zhang Xiaoyi couldn't help asking.
A hint of mockery played upon Officer Wu's lips as he was about to scold him, but then he heard Shen Ye add:
"Yeah, can we obtain a 'na'?"
Officer Wu imdiately smiled and nodded:
"Very few people can gain direct recognition from the Law Domain and thus possess a 'na.'"
"But you are in luck."
"The reason the Three Great High Schools are renowned is that they have the recognition of the Law Domain, which allows you to communicate with it and makes it easier for you than it is for ordinary professionals to acquire a 'na.'"
The nurous normal students looked perplexed.
Na?
Where is it?
Why can't we see it?
Officer Wu waved his hand: "A 'na' is invisible; only a very few with the Dharma Eye can see the 'na' of each professional, but that's all from historical records, no such individuals have erged in modern tis."
Speaking of the Dharma Eye, everyone turned to look at Shen Ye and Nangong Sirui.
"Don't look at ," Nangong Sirui said, "that's just legend; I can't see whether or not you have a 'na.'"
Shen Ye also shrugged: " neither."
Only then did everyone turn their gaze away.
Officer Wu continued:
"The main function of the Dharma Eye is to perceive the entities of the Law Domain and, after advancing a rank, acquire powerful Combat Pupil Techniques, so it doesn't matter if you can't see 'nas,' don't worry too much about it."
This quelled the curiosity of those gathered.
If no one could see it, there was no point in worrying.
Shen Ye's expression remained unchanged.
Na—
He quietly turned his gaze to Xiao ngyu.
Above Xiao ngyu's head floated the words "Sword Saint."
He rembered the effects that the Evaluation Entry added to her:
"Resonance with the Sword Artifact increased by 10 points."
"All attributes increased by 5 points."
"Swordsmanship's killing power doubled."
—Could this be Xiao ngyu's 'na'?
According to Officer Wu, once she comnced her profession, would invoking the power of the Magical Realm to release Sword Moves further enhance her strength?
Shen Ye scanned the surroundings.
Currently, only Xiao ngyu had an Evaluation Entry.
Even Nangong Sirui did not.
"Very few people can gain direct recognition from the Law Domain and thus possess a 'na.'"
This matched what Officer Wu had said.
Shen Ye had a mont of realization.
It seed that the Evaluation Entries he could see were indeed the 'nas' bestowed by the Law Domain upon the professionals.
... I have Evaluation Entries too!
He moved his neck slightly, pretending to look up.
Above his head floated the Evaluation Entries "The Little Match Boy" and "The Boy Who Survived Great Adversities."
Compared to Xiao ngyu's, his seed far less serious.
But his Thunder Shock Palm had already elevated to the First Layer of the Law Domain.
With the aid of these two 'nas,' had its power also risen beyond compare?
—I haven't even tried it yet!
"Once you enter the Magical Realm, you are no longer a re mortal, but if you wish to keep advancing, it becos harder as you go."
Officer Wu went on:
"Among those of the sa rank, those with a 'na' are stronger than those without."
"Professions too vary in strength."
"A Miner Soldier excels in digging; clearly they aren't as suited for combat as a Cave Scout, let alone other professions."
"Thus, the hierarchy of strength from weakest to strongest at the sa stage is:"
"Successful initiation, Normal Profession, Rare Profession, and a Rare Professional with a 'na.'"
"Speaking of which, I must ntion Shen Ye."
Once again, everyone looked toward Shen Ye.
Shen Ye felt a bit tired from all the attention.
"Chaotic Heaven Gate, you see, their profession is formidable indeed; you will understand in ti," Officer Wu began boasting once more.
