Chapter 33: Burn
Chapter 33: Burn
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The notification on the interface did not just appear. Instead, it had suddenly appeared during the battle just now when he had been berserk killing and had no time to check.
Now that he was free, he finally had the opportunity to look at it. Originally, he thought that there would not be any substantial changes and it was probably something like a congratulatory message with a few auspicious words and a message of blessing.
Who would have thought that a new function would be unlocked?
With a powerful enemy right before him, Su Mo did not have time to think and immediately started to check.
There were only two new functions. One was general conversion and the other was burn.
The general conversion was easy to understand. Before, when he drew different professions, he could only take up the respective profession, and there was no other way he could use the profession cards. Now, this limit had been broken. When he drew a different profession, he could convert it into general EXP points and add them to any profession of his choice.
For example, if he drew a special profession like the exorcist now, other than taking up the exorcist profession, he could also convert it into general cultivation EXP and add it to other professions such as the sword saint and priest professions, increasing the advancement progress of those professions.
The change seemed very small, but to him, it was ultimately important.
First of all, he didn’t need to take up so many professions, in the first place.
After all, many professions were repetitive. For example, staff bearer and sword saint were both melee professions, while at the same time, the former couldn’t be compared to the latter in terms of combat power and potential. As such, instead of taking up the staff bearer profession, it was better to use it to increase the cultivation progress of the sword saint profession and advance to level 2 faster.
Other than that, even if he took up many special professions, after reaching a certain level, their future would be cut off. Take the staff bearer profession for example. If he wanted to advance to a higher level, or even break through to level 9, he would have to spend a lot of effort and explore himself.
He clearly had other professions that lead to higher levels, so why should he waste time on this?
The poor cost performance made it obvious that doing so was not a wise choice.
Third, as the public understood, it was almost impossible for a level 1 multiple-profession Transcendent to defeat a level 2 single-profession Transcendent.
Having multiple classes would indeed increase one’s physical fitness, but it would greatly slow down the speed of one’s profession leveling.
Think about it. One day, one would finally painstakingly advance hundreds of professions to level 6, but the geniuses of the same generation with single-profession professions might have already broken through level 9 and realized the transformation of their life essence.
How the f*ck could they compete with this? No matter how talented one was in various fields, could one compare to a professional?
“Having an infinite number of professions is not a wise choice! Focusing my attention on developing a few main professions that can complement each other will not only speed up my cultivation speed but also cover up for my flaws in all aspects. This is the best choice!” Su Mo instantly understood.
Moreover, the general conversion function was not limited to classes. It could also be used on skills. In other words, no matter what skill he got in the future, he could convert them into skill EXP and add them to the skills he wanted to upgrade.
This also broke the rule of “you can’t use the profession’s skills without taking up the profession”.
It allowed him to truly achieve the freedom of all skills.
It was also because of this that he would then able to turn all the unimportant professions into cultivation EXP that he urgently needed without any scruples.
He instantly understood the importance of this function.
Su Mo then looked at the second function.
The second function was called “burn”.
It sounded very domineering, and its effect was also very terrifying.
When used, it could burn professions and skills. When he burned his professions, it will increase his physical fitness and Transcendent power. As for how much he could improve, that would depend on his profession’s level and cultivation progress. For example, burning the sword saint profession whose progress bar had reached 50% would bring different elevations than burning the marksman profession he had just drawn.
If he burned a skill, at the cost of crippling the skill, the most powerful attack according to the skill’s effect could be launched. How strong this attack was would also depend on how strong the burnt skill was.
Without a doubt, this function was simply too important to him. Especially at a time like this, it was no different from a life-saving function.
Even if he still couldn’t save his life in the end, it would at the very least allow him to struggle a little longer.
Su Mo took a deep breath and smiled at the pale-faced Xue Qiaoqiao.
Then, he turned to look at the few level 3 fox demons that were approaching.
Without any hesitation, he immediately activated burn.
The first thing he chose to burn was the staff bearer profession.
The minute the profession was ignited, a majestic and turbulent power rushed out of his body, filling his nearly dried-up body almost instantly, and also giving him the illusion that his entire body was about to burst.
Xue Qiaoqiao’s eyes widened in disbelief when she sensed the change in his aura.
The few level 3 fox demons on the other side, who were already cautious, also became more vigilant.
Su Mo’s level could no longer fool them. After all, he had killed so many fox demons. His actual combat ability was not equal to his level, not to mention that his aura had suddenly erupted.
He might have some special trump card. Even if his trump card couldn’t kill them, it might be able to severely injure them. There was simply no need to sacrifice themselves for a trapped beast that was about to be defeated.
The fox demons had thought it all through, but Su Mo could not stay where he was and fight with them.
This was because burning the profession had a time limit. It couldn’t possibly burn endlessly.
After the flames went out, his strength would be completely gone. At that time, he would truly be at the mercy of others.
Su Mo did not waste any time, and he did not even get close to the fox demons to fight.
Even if he felt that his combat power allowed him to temporarily hold his own against level 3 demons, a stalemate was useless in solving the current predicament.
He immediately burnt his skill.
After the wind-chasing arrow was ignited, the skill immediately disappeared from the interface. Instead, an extremely hot arrow of light condensed in his hand.
It instantly shot out!
The level 3 fox demon that was targeted by the light arrow turned pale with fright. It only had the time to move a few steps to the side before the light arrow pierced through its body, bringing with it a spray of blood.
The fox demon covered its wound with a look of disbelief. If it had dodged a little slower just now, it would have definitely died here. Who would’ve thought that the kid could still launch such a powerful attack at this point?
Su Mo also sighed slightly.
Although the arrow was powerful and fast, he had no experience with this skill. Ultimately, it was not strong enough to deal with a level-three fox demon.
He then burnt the snake staff skill that had 10% progress.
With that, Su Mo formed a sword in his hand, and using it as a staff, he closed in on the injured fox demon.
In the short few seconds of fighting, the power of the skill disappeared, and he had successfully seriously injured the injured fox demon.
Next was the instant sword, which had 30% progress. With a slash of his sword, he finally killed the injured stage three fox demon.
The staff bearer profession’s burning status disappeared, and the fox demons surrounded him from all sides.
Su Mo then ignited the marksman profession. Next up was the only skill that had reached level 2, sword aura shield.
The violent protective sword energy made it impossible for the surrounding fox demons to get close.
Two puffs of gray-black poisonous fog suddenly descended, and Su Mo ignited his level 1 poison immunity.
At the same time, he burned the finger sword skill that had 40% progress.
With the cover of the poisonous fog, he pierced through the two fox demons who tried to poison him.
One was dead and the other was injured.
One had to take advantage of the enemy’s weakness!
Su Mo immediately burned the storm sword skill that had 50% progress and instantly tore the injured fox demon into pieces with hundreds of violent sword lights.
His steps slightly wavered, and he gritted his teeth before burning the priest profession.
Faced with a fox demon who ambushed him from the left, he turned around and a blood-red sword light burst out.
The fox demon looked at the huge hole in its chest with a face full of disbelief.
Su Mo’s face was also pale, and his aura weakened.
Burning the blood coagulation sword that had 30% progress had also dealt him great damage.
Fortunately, he had the healing effect of the priest profession, otherwise, he would have been unconscious.
But even so, the power of the priest profession was almost exhausted.
Su Mo looked at his empty stats window.
The only profession he had left was sword saint.
As for his combat skill, the only one remaining now was sword energy slash, which had progress of 90%.
However, would the burning of one sword energy slash be able to kill the remaining three fox demons?
Su Mo bitterly smiled, but the smile soon became fierce.
Just as he raised his sword and decided to die together with the enemy, the crisp sound of a gunshot rang out.
The three fox demons in front of him fell one after another.
Seeing the figure running out of the forest, Su Mo relaxed and smiled.
Then, his vision turned black and his body fell backward as if he had lost all his strength, only to fall into a soft embrace…
