Chapter 3: Frenzied Power Boost! Seventh-Tier Spell: Celestial Flame Dragon's Breath!
Knock knock!
Just as he was thinking this, a knock suddenly came at the door.
Lin Yi got up and opened it.
He saw Zhang Shan standing outside, holding a box of things in his arms.
Seeing Lin Yi open the door, Zhang Shan, panting heavily, stepped inside and set down the box he was carrying.
It thudded heavily with a dull sound.
“Yi, I haven’t seen you in the leveling area or at the dungeon entrance!”
“What exactly is going on with you?”
“It’s just that you awakened a common profession, right?”
“Is it really worth being so down about?”
As Zhang Shan spoke, he wiped the sweat from his brow, opened the box, and took everything out.
“These are leveling potions and red and blue elixirs my old man bought for me before.”
“The blue elixirs don’t do much for me, so I’m giving them all to you.”
“I also split the red ones in half for you.”
“Besides that, there are three skill point scrolls inside. Break one to get three skill points. Use them as you see fit!”
“By the way, just so you know, your brother here finally awakened a rare profession—the Radiant Knight!”
“Considering you’ve been copying my homework and helping me cheat these past three years, how about I take you along to level up?”
“I’ll pull the mobs, you deal damage. We won’t even need a healer; I can handle it! We'll split the experience evenly, so stop moping around at home!”
Seeing the things Zhang Shan brought and hearing his words, warmth filled Lin Yi’s heart.
This was true brotherhood!
Zhang Shan’s family wasn’t wealthy.
Although his father was a combat professional, he was just an ordinary one.
Those three skill point scrolls? Zhang Shan probably kept half for himself.
Such generosity!
Lin Yi took out the skill point scrolls from the box and stuffed them back into Zhang Shan’s hands, jokingly scolding, “Who told you I was moping around?”
“And you keep those skill point scrolls for yourself—I don’t need them!”
“I’m not slacking off from leveling; I’m just holding back for something big!”
After spending more than ten minutes convincing a half-skeptical Zhang Shan to leave, no sooner had Zhang Shan left than the door was knocked again.
Opening the door, Lin Yi saw another young man in a delivery uniform holding a box, smiling as he asked, “Is this Lin Yi’s place?”
“You have a delivery!”
Lin Yi said, “I didn’t order anything.”
The delivery man continued, “It’s for you. The sender is Jiang Ya.”
In Lin Yi’s mind, Jiang Ya’s usual cold yet slightly tsundere expression immediately appeared.
Opening the box, Lin Yi found it filled with high-level alchemy potions and advanced mana and health recovery elixirs. Most importantly, there were even a dozen experience boost scrolls.
Each scroll probably cost hundreds of Dasha coins. No wonder she was a little rich girl.
What Lin Yi didn’t know was that Jiang Ya had agonized over this for seven whole days.
She had even planned to come over and say something the very first day she saw Lin Yi leave school looking dejected.

But the young lady’s pride and her consistently aloof image kept her from gathering the courage.
In the end, although she didn’t come in person, her intentions still arrived.
Lin Yi gladly accepted the box.
The camaraderie they shared over three years was evidently far deeper than mere rivalry.
After sending the delivery man off, Lin Yi opened the box again and noticed a piece of paper tucked beneath the rows of potions.
It was as if whoever placed it there didn’t want Lin Yi to see it.
Lin Yi took the paper out and flipped it over, seeing a line of neat, delicate handwriting:
“Don’t be too sad. If you need anything, find me.”
Just one sentence.
But Lin Yi could imagine how many times Jiang Ya must have rewritten and edited those words before finally settling on that simple message.
After sorting the items Zhang Shan and Jiang Ya gave him, Lin Yi opened his character panel.
【Lin Yi】
【Profession: Mage (First Transfer)】
【Specialization: Fire】
【Level: LV.1 (0.00%)】
【Health: 10/10】

【Profession Skills: Mana Conservation (Passive), Quick Chant (Passive), Fireball (Active)】
Staring at his balance of over 600,000 skill points, Lin Yi took a deep breath.
The skill points accumulated in just seven days were terrifying!
No more hesitation!
Deep blue, pour the points in!
Lin Yi opened the Fireball skill panel and began furiously allocating skill points!
Ding ding ding ding ding ding!
The sound of successful skill upgrades echoed in his ears as the Fireball skill on the panel shimmered with a radiant glow!
The flames grew fiercer, radiating golden streams of light!
Exhilarating!
Absolutely exhilarating!

This sensation of leveling up skills at rocket speed was truly the most wonderful feeling in the world!
【Consumed 500 skill points, your Fireball skill has advanced. You have gained a new spell: Fire Explosion!】
【Consumed 2,000 skill points, your Fire Explosion skill has advanced. You have gained a new spell: Triple Flame Spear!】
【Consumed 5,000 skill points, your Triple Flame Spear skill has advanced. You have gained a new spell: Blaze Storm!】
【Consumed 10,000 skill points, your Blaze Storm skill has advanced. You have gained a new spell: Scorching Flame Wheel!】
【Consumed 50,000 skill points, your Scorching Flame Wheel skill has advanced. You have gained a new spell: Molten Fire Demon!】
【Consumed 100,000 skill points, your Molten Fire Demon skill has advanced. You have gained a new spell: Celestial Flame Dragon Breath!】
More than ten minutes later,
With Lin Yi continuously investing points,
His skill panel looked entirely different from before.
The once mundane Fireball had now advanced to the seventh tier after investing over 100,000 skill points!
The whole room felt scorching hot.
Lin Yi felt an unprecedented wave of searing heat wash over him.
His limbs and bones seemed bathed in the most terrifying and blazing golden flames in the world.
Yet these flames caused him no harm whatsoever!
Instead, he felt an incredibly strong affinity with the fire element of this world!
He only needed to give the command.
These most violent destructive elements would erupt all at once, reducing his enemies to ashes!
Lin Yi checked the next spell for advancement.
【Eighth Tier: Fire Spirit Incarnation】
【Skill Points Required for Advancement: 500,000!】
Lin Yi’s jaw dropped. The skill point cost for further advancement had become astronomical.
No wonder he had heard that only the world’s super veterans of the seventh or eighth transfer could possibly wield near forbidden-level spells.
Without such a lengthy passage of time, it was nearly impossible to accumulate such a massive amount of skill points.
Yet Lin Yi had nearly completed the journey that these top-tier mages spent their entire lives on in just one week!
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yi shifted his gaze to the other two skills.
【Mana Conservation】 and 【Quick Chant】.
Both skills had been awakened alongside Fireball, as passive abilities.
Their effects were simple: reduce his mana consumption and chanting time by 10%.
Could he allocate points into these two skills as well?
