Chapter 377

This was what Bai Yiyuan called the "mastery trial."

Mastering other professions, mastering oneself.

Of course, that didn't mean he could cast the skills of other professions, but rather that by learning about them, he could improve his own combat experience and practical abilities.

After listening, Lin Moyu asked with a hint of doubt, "Teacher, is it really necessary to do this?"

Bai Yiyuan looked at Lin Moyu with profound meaning. "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Understand the characteristics of all major professions, summarize their strengths and weaknesses, and integrate them into yourself."

"This is a very important step for you to become a god-level powerhouse in the future. You can ask Old Meng and Yan the Madman how they did it back in the day."

Lin Moyu looked over with an inquiring gaze. "Teacher Yan, Senior Meng, did you do the same thing back then?"

Yan Kuangsheng said, "I was more straightforward. I just found other Professionals and fought them hundreds of times, engaging in thousands of battles."

Meng Anwen said, "Old Bai is right. This is very necessary."

Lin Moyu suddenly remembered that before his second class advancement, Meng Anwen had shown him footage of Ning Yiyi during her special training.

At that time, Meng Anwen had spent a lot of effort explaining the function of each of Ning Yiyi's skills to him.

He had explained it in great detail.

Back then, he didn't understand why Meng Anwen did that.

Now that he thought about it, wasn't that just teaching him about the characteristics of other professions?

It seemed Meng Anwen had known long ago that he would undergo this learning process and had set an example for him in advance.

Bai Yiyuan said, "At Xiajing Academy, it is very difficult to obtain the qualification to enter the Shenxia Tower."

"You are the national top scorer, so you have obtained one qualification to enter."

"Only 500 people can enter the Shenxia Tower each year. The academy puts 100 of these Shenxia Tower entry tickets up for auction. Do you know what the price is?"

Lin Moyu shook his head; he did not know.

Bai Yiyuan chuckled. "At least 300,000 points."

Lin Moyu couldn't help but gasp.

Points were not easy to earn at Xiajing Academy.

Points were used everywhere, and for most people, they spent more than they earned.

Someone like him, who had hundreds of thousands of points, was definitely a rare existence.

But with an entry qualification for the Shenxia Tower costing 300,000 points, one had to ask, how many people could afford that?

He never would have imagined that an entry qualification would be so expensive.

Ning Yiyi had once told him that after entering Xiajing Academy, he must find a way to challenge the Shenxia Tower.

Bai Yiyuan had also said something similar back then.

The first time yielded the greatest benefits.

As for why he had to go and what the benefits were, they hadn't said.

Bai Yiyuan said, "Do not underestimate the various families in the empire."

"They have quite a few people in Xiajing Academy. Xiajing Academy never forces students to graduate, so there are more and more family-affiliated students in the academy."

"These families will pool the points of their various clan members together to bid for qualifications, specifically for their most outstanding members to use."

"In the Shenxia Tower, one can improve combat power, obtain massive benefits, and earn points by clearing levels."

"Some people spent 300,000 to buy an entry ticket, but because they performed exceptionally well, they actually earned even more points."

"Yan the Madman completed thousands of battles in the Shenxia Tower back in the day."

Yan Kuangsheng nodded at this point; he had indeed competed in the Shenxia Tower.

Otherwise, where would he have found so many people of comparable strength?

Meng Anwen took over from Bai Yiyuan. "The method the three of us used back then actually had flaws and couldn't be considered perfect."

"After discussing it, we came up with a more perfect method for you to understand the characteristics of each profession."

"During the process, you might suffer a little and might encounter setbacks."

Lin Moyu shook his head. "I am not afraid of suffering or setbacks."

He knew that Meng Anwen and his two teachers must have found the best plan for him.

What was a little suffering? He had never been afraid of it.

Meng Anwen was very satisfied with Lin Moyu's answer. "Three days from now, the Shenxia Tower will officially open, and your trial will begin at that time."

"During these three days, you can go and read books properly to first understand the characteristics of each profession, so you won't be flustered when the time comes."

Lin Moyu left with a hint of confusion.

After talking for so long and going around in circles, they still hadn't told him the specific method of the trial.

The three of them seemed to have agreed on it; they clearly knew but just wouldn't say specifically.

Lin Moyu arrived at the library with his confusion, found a large number of books about various professions, and began to read them carefully.

There were thousands upon thousands of professions, all kinds of them.

After so many years of development, they had each formed their own systems.

Researchers had already classified the various professions.

Simply put, they could be divided into the Physical type, Elemental type, and Special type.

If broken down further, each type had its own powerful professions.

The Physical type had Holy Knights and Holy Swordsmen.

In the Elemental type, there were Holy Summoners, Holy Mages, and so on.

In the Special type, there were Alchemists, Pharmacists, and Formation Masters, all of which were very powerful.

Furthermore, some professions overlapped.

For example, Shadow Knights who could use summoning techniques.

And Elemental Archers who could use elemental power.

There were too many professions; if one were to completely break them down, it would be impossible to explain clearly.

Professionals married each other and had offspring.

Every few years, new professions were likely to be born.

Lin Moyu was not in a hurry and flipped through them bit by bit.

He would first memorize all the knowledge and then digest it by correlating it with practice later.

After his second class advancement, his Spirit attribute had skyrocketed, and Lin Moyu had reached the level of photographic memory.

As long as he read it once, he basically wouldn't forget it.

In three days, he read nearly a hundred books.

Each book described a certain profession in detail.

He memorized the attribute characteristics and skill features of over a hundred professions.

Chapter 348: Shenxia Tower Opens, Welcoming the Divine General!

The day of the Shenxia Tower trial was an annual event.

The hundreds-of-meters-tall Shenxia Tower descended from the sky and landed in the central square of Xiajing Academy.

The towering Shenxia Tower was solemn and magnificent, its body dazzling and brilliant, releasing a faint glow.

Massive energy was released from the tower, spreading outward like waves, layer upon layer.

Facing the Shenxia Tower, even top-tier Professionals over level 80 would feel inferior.

As everyone knew, the Shenxia Empire had three divine towers: the demon-exterminating tower, the Shenxia Tower, and the Trial Tower.

The three divine towers were all legendary-grade treasures; they were extremely important to the Shenxia Empire, and not one could be missing.

Lin Moyu had seen two of them; only the demon-exterminating tower had he not yet seen.

The demon-exterminating tower was at Fortress No. 9 most of the time; if one wanted to see it, one had to go to Fortress No. 9.

Most people, in their entire lives, could at most only ever see the Shenxia Tower and the Trial Tower.

The Shenxia Tower opened once a year, and each time it released 500 entry tickets.

The Shenxia Tower originally belonged to Xiajing Academy, so these 500 entry spots were also completely controlled by Xiajing Academy.

To be precise, they were controlled by Meng Anwen.

Even the empire had no right to interfere.

The 500 entry tickets were divided into 5 parts, with 100 entry tickets being auctioned off by Xiajing Academy.

Another 100 were awarded through various trials and tasks within the academy.

The three top colleges—Chuangshen, Chuangshi, and Yanhuang—could receive 100 entry tickets.

The 18 independent colleges within the academy could receive 100 entry tickets.

The final 100 entry tickets were given to the military.

As early as a month ago, various competitions had already been held within each college, and the competition was extremely fierce.

Only the most outstanding group of people could obtain entry tickets.

Those who could finally obtain entry tickets were all top-tier geniuses.

The Shenxia Tower had descended, and at this moment, the area hundreds of meters outside the tower was crowded with people.

If one did not have an entry ticket, one could not enter the Shenxia Tower and could only watch from afar on the periphery.

Led by several mentors from the academy, a group of people walked over.

They were the personnel selected by Xiajing Academy, exactly 400 people.

Each one exuded a powerful aura, their faces wearing proud smiles.

No matter the profession, having the qualification to enter the Shenxia Tower meant one was the most outstanding person.

They stood there, enjoying the envious gazes of the crowd.

This was a symbol of status and, even more, a manifestation of strength.

Thump, thump, thump!

The sound of rhythmic footsteps arrived, and a team walked in.

Their steps were uniform and rhythmic; with every step that landed, only a single sound was emitted.

Everyone in the team had a serious expression, their aura imposing.

"It's the military's team."

Someone let out a low cry, and everyone began to pay attention.

The Shenxia military, the strongest force of the empire.

They guarded the front lines, blocking the attacks of the Abyssal Demon, and were true heroes.

The hundred-man squad came over and stopped beside the academy's team; the two teams—the academy and the military—stood side by side, clearly distinct from one another.

Although the military side only had a hundred people, their aura was massive, almost suppressing the academy side.

At this moment, the Shenxia Tower had not yet officially opened, and they were still waiting.

"I wonder who will take the championship in this trial."

"According to past records, most of the championships are swept by people from the three major colleges; I estimate this time will be no exception."

"It's hard to say; the military has also won the championship many times."

"The people sent by the military this time are so strong; there are actually 3 people who have undergone class sublimation."

"The academy side isn't bad either; there are actually 3 people who have undergone class sublimation."

A few people in the team had an aura that was different from the rest, very special.
