Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Have I gone blind with such a huge hidden profession?

Zi Liyuan only glanced at the attributes of the summoned skeleton before his gaze returned to the “Skeleton Summoning” skill.

Behind this skill, there was a gray-black “+” sign.

When he looked at this plus sign, some information suddenly appeared in his mind.

It could be enhanced through a Nether Crystal Core by consuming energy, causing death-related skills to mutate and become stronger!

At the same time, several mutated enhancement paths for the “Skeleton Summoning” skill appeared on his retina.

Mutated Enhancement (1): Consume 1,000 units of energy, “Skeleton Summoning” skill mutates and strengthens into “Summon Skeleton Warrior”;

Mutated Enhancement (2): Consume 1,500 units of energy, “Skeleton Summoning” skill mutates and strengthens into “Summon Skeleton Archer”;

Mutated Enhancement (9): Consume 5,000 units of energy, “Skeleton Summoning” skill mutates and strengthens into “Summon Skeleton Apprentice”;

A total of nine different mutation paths, with a minimum consumption of 1,000 units of energy and a maximum of 5,000 units, evolving the skeleton into various types of military units for land, sea, and air.

It was somewhat outrageous, yet still within an acceptable range.

But when Zi Liyuan looked at his own attributes, even with the amplification from his cultivation technique, he only had 400 points of spiritual energy, so he could only reluctantly suppress the urge to immediately undergo a mutated enhancement.

No need to rush, bread will come, and spiritual power will greatly increase, and it will happen soon!

“Eh, the quality of the students undergoing awakening and class change at White Crane Academy this time is not bad at all.”

“Nearly 80,000 students, and there are over a thousand with hidden professions, nearly three hundred more than last year.”

“Thirteen death-related careers, I wonder if that’s a blessing or a curse.”

“Anyway, our academy isn’t planning to specially recruit those with death-related professions this year.”

“Tsk tsk, is it because you specially recruited ten promising students last year, and after they entered the Sea of Realms’ Battlefield of Ten Thousand Tribes, they were all corrupted and fell to the Evil God?”

“Old geezer, as if your academy is any better? Pot calling the kettle black!”

“Sigh, if those with death-related careers can grow up, they indeed become extremely powerful, but because they are close to death, they also attract more attention from the corrupting Evil Gods. The failure of the past few years’ talents is understandable.”

“If you ask me, it’s just that their wills aren’t strong enough, they weren’t tempered properly. If they were all sent to our Great Xia military academies, I guarantee none would be entirely wiped out.”

“Keep bragging! With your military academy’s perennial bottom-tier treatment in the Nine Great Divine Provinces, any talent wouldn’t want to go. Naturally, you can only pick up the leftover students.”

Eight vague figures appeared beside Principal He Bai, each of them either focusing on the situation of the students below or squabbling and bickering amongst themselves.

“Cut the crap, if you want outstanding students, use your own methods!”

Principal He Bai rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with the eight uninvited old folks beside him.

These eight figures were the illusion avatars of the principals from the other eight Divine States Academies.

Although they were illusion avatars, they were capable of many things, such as observing talented students on others’ turf during the annual awakening day and casually distributing their academy’s invitation cards.

Invitation cards, these items are distributed in large numbers by the nine academies every year, but they’re just a credential. The invitees only qualify to participate in the selection trials of the corresponding academies.

Generally, any student who has awakened and changed classes, especially with a hidden profession, will receive multiple invitation cards.

As long as you present the invitation card and complete the entrance assessments at the appropriate academy before July 1st, you will be able to smoothly enter that academy.

For those who fail the assessments, as long as it is not yet past July 1st, they can use their remaining invitation cards to continue taking entrance examinations at other academies.

If all the invitation cards you’ve obtained fail to carry you through the entrance assessments, then you’ll have no choice but to opt for second- or third-tier academies that lack resources.

Of course, there are different selection methods for those in battle professions and different assessment standards for those in life professions.

The Nine Great Divine States Academy only admits ten thousand new students each year.

The primary recruitment targets are mostly combat professionals, supplemented by life professions, with the ratio being approximately 9:1.

Zi Liyuan, as the top student of White Crane High School, excelled both intellectually and physically, and had long held the first place throne.

Thus, his goal was none other than the most prestigious Dragon Academy in the Great Xia Empire!

However, as he waited left and right, the rainbow light of awakening and class-changing had dissipated, and he had not received a single invitation card, which left him in complete disbelief.

“Am I not a major hidden profession? Are all the people from the Nine Great Academies blind?”

With a pained expression on his face, Zi Liyuan looked up, trying to see the nine-tiered altar floating in the sky clearly, to confirm whether all the teachers from the Nine Great Academies were present.

Regrettably, the altar was under the influence of the world’s rules, and one could simply not see the inside from the outside.

“Damn it! Not giving me an invitation card, huh? I can still get the spot for the entrance exam!”

An invitation card is a fast pass, which allows one to bypass the college entrance examination and directly participate in the Nine Great Divine States Academy’s entrance evaluation.

However, such cards are generally only sent to those with hidden professions, and with countless talented and extraordinary students among the vast majority who hold ordinary professions, representing ninety-nine percent of candidates.

As long as these students take part in the college entrance examination seven days later and achieve a rank within the top one hundred of their province, they will have the qualifications to apply for the Nine Great Divine States Academy!

Zi Liyuan glanced at a few people nearby who had received invitation cards, his anger showing as he turned and left the sports field.

He had to prepare for the college entrance examination in seven days, and the first thing to do was to grind his level up to 20 and complete his first class change.

Throughout the years, none of the top hundred examinees from the provinces had been below level 20.

Therefore, to do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools—armed with his bank card, Zi Liyuan entered the largest professional class change marketplace in White Crane City.

Before awakening his class change, he had prepared a set of level 1 ordinary equipment, but plans couldn’t keep up with the changes—he had not expected to awaken as a Necromancer.

The prepared equipment, which was geared towards physical attacks, was not very beneficial to his current profession.

With time being of the essence, Zi Liyuan wasted no time and entered the largest equipment store directly, spending a total of one hundred thousand Huaxia Currency at twenty percent above the market price to acquire a three-piece equipment set that he could use at his current stage, along with some level 1 potions.

[Bone Staff (Blue)]: Phys Damage +5, Magic Damage +9, Spirit +2, Spiritual Power +2, requires Level 1.

[Death Robe (Blue)]: Physical Resistance +5, Magical Resistance +9, Spirit +2, Spiritual Power +2, requires Level 1.

[Spiritual Energy Shoes (Blue)]: Movement Speed +10%, Spirit +2, Spiritual Power +2, requires Level 1.

Newly awakened and class-changed individuals could only equip items for three positions: weapons, armor, and shoes, and the highest grade equipment available on the market was rare blue quality gear.

As for silver hero quality or higher equipment usable at Level 1, they were sought after but rarely found, and once they did appear on the market, they were quickly snapped up by powerful families and clans.

As an orphan, Zi Liyuan had encountered auctions of lower-level, high-quality gear in the past, but to avoid trouble, he only watched as a spectator, for he didn’t know what kind of equipment he would need before his class awakening.
