Chapter 7: World-shocking Wisdom! The Path To Strength!
The acquisition of a Supernatural Profession brings an extraordinary leap.
At this moment, Ian truly felt himself getting stronger, not just psychologically, but his four attributes also received a tangible boost at the same time.
【Name: Ian Kent】
【Ordinary Profession: Student lv7〔35/640〕】
【Supernatural Profession: Berserker LV1〔0/10〕】
【World Recognition: Ordinary NPC】
【Strength: 3.5】
【Constitution: 3.0】
【Intelligence: 2.3】
【Spirit: 2.7】
【Talent Skills: Reverse Blood Furnace】
【Professional Skills: None】
【Profession Skill Points: 1】
【General Skills: Learning〔Elite〕】
【General Skill Points: 7】
The four attributes on the Personal Panel welcomed a very nice boost, especially Strength and Constitution, which directly reached around three times that of an ordinary person.
Strength mainly affects muscle explosive power, Constitution affects damage resistance and recovery speed, the two together influence reaction speed, and Spirit represents Will and perception ability.
These are all experiences Ian summed up after obtaining the System. No way around it, his System is quite rudimentary, without the sweet, cloying intelligent dialogue function others have.
“My abs look really good.” Ian stood in front of the Mirror and took off his clothes. Previously, his body fat wasn’t low, but now he had a body with distinct muscle lines that wasn’t exaggerated.
Perhaps the fat was directly converted into muscle? Unclear, all the changes seemed to happen in a very short time. Ian hadn’t even properly felt them before they ended.
Cheating, huh.
How many Transmigrators, over how many years, it’s always been like this.
“I feel like I could now punch and take down a Jonathan, or 1.5 Jordans.” Ian clenched his Fist hard, his muscles bulging all over, fully displaying the artistic beauty of the human Body.
This kind of “self-admiration” was indeed a bit narcissistic.
But Ian’s Mood was indeed extremely happy. He didn’t even care much about the unchanged identity in the 【World Recognition】 entry. Acquiring the Supernatural Profession let him see a path to self-salvation.
Perhaps his current Strength and abilities are still just Small Fry in this extremely dangerous World, but this is ultimately just the beginning. His future could have even broader horizons.
“Cheer on, develop stealthily, don’t act rashly!”
Ian’s self-encouragement was quite self-aware. After slightly calming his surging Mood, he then looked at the Talent Skill that appeared after acquiring the 【Berserker】 Profession.
【Reverse Blood Furnace: Damage received will accumulate Experience Points for you. Every instance of effective damage will grant corresponding Experience Points boost based on the severity of the injury.
All Negative Statuses and Body damage will allow you to accumulate Rage Value. In a full Rage Value state, your Strength, Constitution, and pain resistance will all receive massive enhancements.
When you simultaneously endure ≥5 kinds of Negative Statuses, or are near Death, you can activate 「Resonance of Damaged Body」 state: All Attributes +30%, but rationality and Intelligence attributes will continuously decline.】
Have to say.
The power brought by the Supernatural Profession is indeed somewhat heaven-defying, especially this ability as the core Professional Skill, which can be called comprehensive enough that even rich or poor people rarely mutate into it.
“Get stronger by getting injured?”
Ian even felt his Talent ability could be renamed and directly used as a ready-made Golden Finger. He finally felt his System was getting reliable.
“And the Skill Tree.”
Ian opened the newly appeared option again.
The next moment.
A large tree-branch-like diagram appeared in his mind, with each flashing “Ian Fruit” representing a skill he could learn with Profession Skill Points. Almost the instant he opened the Skill Tree, Ian was attracted by the skill learnable at the top for LV100.
【Eternal Fury: At Death, if ≥25 Negative Statuses exist, consume all statuses to revive and restore full power, gaining 『Bloodied Garments』 All Attributes doubled effect】
Despite having a full day cooldown, this could absolutely be called a revival divine skill! With this skill, Ian felt he might not have to worry so much about being dragged to sacrifice to the heavens by dogs!
He could even allow himself to be used by family to sacrifice to the heavens once a day!
“Too bad! Reaching level 100… easier said than done!” Ian sighed, reluctantly withdrawing his gaze. The skills he could learn now were only three.
After all, it’s only level 1 Profession Level.
【Resonance of Damaged Body: When Body is mutilated（missing limbs, blindness, missing organs）, remaining organs will overdrive, compensating lost functions and granting extra Strength and Constitution bonuses.】
【Self-Healing Tide: Recover 1% of max Life Value per second, can heal all injuries including fatal ones, but cannot move or attack during treatment and recovery.】
【Poison Gland Stomach: Your stomach will be modified. Ingested Food can be converted into Poison for storage, which will attach to your attacks when needed.】
All three skills are pretty good.
But in Ian’s view, he really only had one choice. Whether 【Resonance of Damaged Body】 or 【Poison Gland Stomach】 sound kinda tragic.
And not quite in sync with Ian’s way of handling things.
“Learn skill 【Self-Healing Tide】!”
Ian decisively made the skill Choice and Learning.
He’s played some Games in this lifetime. From his limited knowledge and Research, in Games, skills with percentage effects are definitely the ones to pick for percentage benefits.
Just like 【Self-Healing Tide】, it sounds quite restrictive, but 100 seconds to become a good man again is absolutely the best skill to pair with 【Reverse Blood Furnace】 for leveling up.
About future planning.
Ian has his own ideas.
“I don’t like going outside to get abused. As long as I abuse myself hard enough, no one outside can abuse me!” Ian’s Wisdom has always been quite unconventional.
And so.
He directly pulled a small knife from the drawer.
“Swish swish swish~”
Just like cutting Paper Scraps.
Ian casually slashed a big gash on his Arm.
【Life Value loss, Experience +1】
Waited a bit.
Ian even collected a big cup of Blood, and only then did he get the System’s feedback. How to put it, gaining Experience was harder than he imagined, but still acceptable.
“Self-heal, my Body!”
Ian activated the skill. The next moment, he felt like he turned into a Statue, completely unable to move. His Body injury also recovered at a visible speed. Ian could feel that if someone interrupted this stiff state, the recovery effect would stop.
Moreover.
With the activation of self-healing ability, his Body also started feeling hungry, clearly a skill consumption. Quite restrictive, perhaps just a chicken-rib skill for belligerents.
However.
“Every ‘accident’ is my next round of getting stronger!”
Having experimented once.
Ian directly gave his Arm seven or eight “accident” treatments without a word. Following the principle of no waste, he “gulp gulp gulp” drank all the Blood he bled.
A bit rusty taste, but no matter, nutritious and healthy is fine. Haven’t you heard those weight-loss bloggers recommend low-calorie, high-protein stuff? Totally fine to chug.
【Life Value loss, Experience +1】
This time the System’s feedback was much faster.
Pale-faced Ian was overjoyed. However, still immersed in the joy of leveling up and getting stronger, he didn’t notice outside the Window of his Room, in the darkness hid a Man wearing a red-blue colored Cape Battle Suit, now gazing complicatedly at what was happening inside the Window.
“Oh, poor Ian.”
Clark’s expression was indescribably sorrowful.
He hadn’t expected that he just went out to save a Factory from exploding, and upon returning without even landing to change and transform, he discovered his youngest Son self-harming in his Room.
Because in front of family, Clark controls his Super Vision, so he hadn’t noticed Ian’s Body changes. He only saw Ian slashing his Arm.
“Looks like, the medicine… really needs to make him take it.”
Clark’s Mood heavy, he instantly changed clothes, slowly landing in the empty courtyard. He began thinking how to knock on the door without being abrupt to communicate with Ian.
To be fair, if previously Clark had some Doubt about the Psychiatrist’s diagnosis, now he truly believed his youngest Son was 100% sick.
And the kind that’s inevitably seriously ill.
