Chapter 3: A Swordsman Comparable to an SS-Class Profession
Ten seconds to recover one point?
Only six points per minute?
This was completely a trash passive skill book.
Yet you actually think highly of it.
Wang Gang couldn’t be bothered to waste more words.
“Now that we’ve successfully changed classes, we’ll definitely be going out for training. The school has specially prepared training grounds for us. Are you going or not?”
“We’ll talk about it later.”
To help students level up as quickly as possible, the school had dedicated training areas.
There were several schools in Yancheng alone.
At least several hundred students would be participating.
If they all gathered together, there would be more people than monsters.
Besides those places, there were other training grounds—the wilderness outside the city.
However, the magical beasts there were extremely powerful.
These beasts possessed a certain level of intelligence and were very dangerous.
Jiang Chen knew that many talented students were protected by their families and trained under the guidance of family members.
For example, a level twenty-something priest could take a beginner along, cast Holy Light Protection and a combat enhancement buff, and instantly turn them into a powerhouse.
To increase one’s strength quickly, wilderness training was the only real option.
There were still seven days left.
Seven days later would be the examination.
Universities from all over would come searching for talented students.
The higher the level, the easier it would be to enter a prestigious university.
Besides level, they would also evaluate professions.
Hidden professions were especially favored by elite academies.
It was just like university admissions on Blue Star.
High scores got you into top universities.
Low scores landed you in ordinary colleges.
After enduring the entire school day, classes finally ended.
Jiang Chen hurried home impatiently.
Murong Xue watched his departing figure with a complicated expression.
“Jiang Chen is handsome, but it’s a pity he’s only a D-Class Swordsman. He can’t compare to you, Murong Xue. The two of you are destined to belong to different worlds.”
Murong Xue blushed.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I wasn’t looking at him.”
“Oh, come on. The school beauty liking the school heartthrob is perfectly normal. If he were an A-Class profession, he’d be a perfect match for you.”
Murong Xue rolled her eyes.
“Nangong Xue, get lost.”
Nangong Xue giggled.
“I hit the mark, didn’t I? How about I chase after him right now and tell him to marry into your family?”
“Get lost.”
“Don’t be angry. I’m only joking. Even if you agreed, your parents wouldn’t. You’re a Light Archer—a hidden profession comparable to an S-Class profession. How could they let you marry an ordinary person?”
The two girls continued chatting and teasing each other.
“Xue’er, you’re here too. Congratulations on becoming an Archer, and even a hidden profession Light Archer.”
Murong Xue turned around.
It was Zhao Guangqiang.
Everyone in school knew Zhao Guangqiang liked Murong Xue.
Unfortunately, Murong Xue had never been interested in him.
Li Xue spoke coldly:
“Did I allow you to call me Xue’er? We’re not that close. Call me by my full name—Murong Xue.”
Zhao Guangqiang smiled.
“I’ve become a Magic Swordsman now. Just like you, I’m an A-Class hidden profession. If we form a team, we’ll definitely get into a top academy.”
In Zhao Guangqiang’s eyes, Murong Xue had ignored him before because neither of them had awakened their professions yet.
But things were different now.
He had awakened a powerful hidden profession—Magic Swordsman.
He believed he now had the qualifications to win her favor.
“Team up with you? I’m not interested.”
After saying that, Murong Xue turned around and left without another glance, leaving Zhao Guangqiang standing there awkwardly.
His face darkened.
“What’s with that attitude? You’re just a Light Archer. I’m a hidden profession too—a Magic Swordsman.”
“I refuse to believe that someone with my talent can’t win you over.”
“One day, I’ll make you submit beneath my feet.”
…
Jiang Chen returned home.
Knock knock knock…
He opened the door.
“Hello, are you Jiang Chen?”
“I am.”
“This is your package. Please sign here.”
Jiang Chen’s face lit up.
“Thank you.”
After closing the door, he eagerly opened the package.
Inside were two skill books.
One active skill.
One passive skill.
Jiang Chen touched both books.
[Would you like to learn these skills?]
Learn.
[Learned Sword Aura Dominion.]
[Hundredfold Amplification in progress…]
[Amplification successful.]
Sword Aura Dominion:
Condense one hundred sword auras that orbit around the user and automatically attack enemies.
Duration: 100 minutes.
…
Jiang Chen stared at the skill description.
Then burst into laughter.
Just as expected.
Hundredfold Amplification.
One hundred sword auras surrounding him.
Wasn’t this practically Myriad Swords Return to the Sect?
And it lasted for a hundred minutes.
What kind of concept was that?
It was ridiculously overpowered.
[Learned Meditation.]
[Hundredfold Amplification in progress…]
[Amplification successful.]
Passive Skill: Meditation
Remain motionless for 0.1 seconds and slowly recover spirit power.
Recovery Amount: 1 point.
Exactly as Jiang Chen had expected.
Recovering one point of spirit power in 0.1 seconds.
Although it was only one point, it was more than enough.
His current Spirit attribute was only 6.
Even if he completely exhausted his spirit power, he could fully recover in just 0.5 seconds.
This was essentially unlimited MP.
Jiang Chen opened his status panel.

The first skill was essentially a dueling skill.
An instant sword aura with a forty-meter range.
What kind of concept was that?
The enemy could run thirty-nine meters first…
The second skill was an evasion skill.
The third skill was effectively an automatic attack skill.
Whether he was surrounded by several magical beasts or dozens of them, he could activate Sword Aura Dominion.
Moreover, the attack frequency had increased by a hundred times.
Originally it attacked once every ten seconds.
After amplification, it attacked once every 0.1 seconds.
What did that mean?
If there was only one enemy, it would suffer one hundred attacks within 0.1 seconds.
This…
As for the fourth skill…
There was no need to say more.
After amplification, it effectively granted infinite mana.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Jiang Chen looked at the caller ID.
It was his older sister.
An S-Class Shadow Assassin.
Just thinking about her sent chills down his spine.
“The number you have dialed is currently busy. Please try again later…”
“You little brat, are you itching for a beating? Stop fooling around with me. Several tens of thousands disappeared from my bank account. Did you undergo your class change?”
“As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Sis.”
“What profession?”
“Swordsman.”
“D-Class profession?”
“Seems like it.”
“Don’t go running around outside. Your sister will support you from now on. Stay at home and behave.”
“Are you trying to stop the growth of a future master swordsman? You can try to stop me, but you’ll never stop a swordsman with dreams. I am the future Sword God—”
“Cut the nonsense. It’s dangerous outside. You’re just a trash D-Class Swordsman. What’s there to brag about?”
“Don’t look down on people. There are only useless people, not useless professions.”
“Actually, what I wanted to tell you is that not only is your profession trash, you’re even more trash.”
Damn…
You don’t have to be that honest.
A voice came from the other end of the phone.
“What, talking to your beloved little brother again?”
“Alright, that’s enough. My roommate just got back. Remember what I said. If I come home and find you causing trouble, I’ll skin you alive.”
Beep… Beep… Beep…
Jiang Chen stared at the disconnected call.
Who are you looking down on?
Isn’t it just the prestigious Divine Dragon Academy?
I can get in too.
