Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

Chu Yang and Xiao Cao left the courtyard and then boarded the airship bound for the Divine Grace Stone Wall.

On the airship, Chu Yang asked, "Little Grass, what is the [Divine Grace Stone Wall]?"

Xiao Cao explained, "The academy's teachers said it was left behind by the gods, and observing the [Divine Grace Stone Wall] can enhance a martial artist's abilities."

[Evolutionary ability? Like the system's skill evolution?]

Seeing Chu Yang deep in thought, Xiao Cao suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Brother Chu Yang, close your eyes!"

Chu Yang closed his eyes, but was surprised to find that he could still see the world around him.

No! It's not about seeing, but about being able to perceive the world around us.

The world he perceived was far more expansive and detailed than what he could see.

He seemed to be able to see every blind spot inside and outside the airship, and he could even clearly capture the shadow in the eyes of a bird in the distance!

Xiao Cao loosened her grip on Chu Yang's hand, and the magical sensation disappeared.

Chu Yang opened his eyes and saw Xiao Cao grinning at him, saying, "Xiao Cao has also observed the [Divine Grace Stone Wall]. This is the effect of Xiao Cao's evolved ability!"

"Although Brother Chu Yang can't enroll in White Tower Academy, it's still great to be able to observe the [Divine Grace Stone Wall] once!"

Chu Yang patted Xiao Cao's head and laughed, "Xiao Cao is so amazing now!"

Little Grass smiled, a hint of pride in her voice, and said, "The teacher also said that Little Grass is the most talented student in this year's class..."

The airship stopped.

As soon as Chu Yang stepped off the airship, he saw the [Divine Grace Stone Wall].

Because this rock wall is just too big!

It looked exactly like a mountain peak that had been vertically cut in half.

However, the cut surface of the mountain peak was so smooth that it could even reflect sunlight.

Chu Yang couldn't help but wonder: [Where did the other half of the mountain go? Could it also be some kind of divine grace stone wall?]

In front of the [Divine Grace Stone Wall] is a semi-circular stone platform.

More than a dozen martial artists from the academy were sitting cross-legged on the stone platform.

The guards of the [Divine Grace Stone Wall] had obviously received Teacher Xiaocao's orders long ago and did not stop Chu Yang from entering.

Xiao Cao waited for Chu Yang outside.

Chu Yang walked onto the stone platform and casually found a place to sit down.

Then, he finally received the notification sound from the small door.

"A serendipitous encounter is triggered. Observe the [Divine Grace Stone Wall]. Except for basic skills and already evolved skills, all skills in the skill bar will have an evolution opportunity."

"Please confirm whether you wish to begin the evolution now!"

[It really is skill evolution... Wait! Skill evolution?! Can that skill also evolve...?]

Chu Yang excitedly opened the character panel, and after a moment's hesitation, replaced the original [Shield Charge] with [Shield Blast].

It's worth noting here that skills you've already learned will disappear directly once they're replaced, so you need to make a choice.

In this way, the skills on his general skill bar became: [Shield Blessing+], [Swarm of Bats], [Shield Blast], and [Flying Shield Strike].

[Shield Blessing+] has already evolved and will not evolve again.

In essence, this serendipitous encounter granted him three opportunities to evolve his skills.

The reward for this serendipitous encounter is certainly good, but not too extravagant.

After all, with the frequent use of skills in battle, later skills are likely to trigger evolution.

But for Chu Yang, it meant something different!

Because of the skill [Shield Blast], he can't even use it frequently, let alone use it at all.

It's safe to say that without such serendipitous encounters, this skill would almost never be able to trigger its evolution.

But now [Shield Blast] can evolve.

Chu Yang was eager to know if this skill could evolve to retain the shield effect after being released!

That's why he was so excited!

After changing the skills, Chu Yang confirmed that he was starting the evolution!

Three beams of light flashed from the massive [Divine Grace Stone Wall], all flying towards Chu Yang.

The students from Baita Academy who had been observing all looked at Chu Yang with surprise and suspicion.

"This person just sat down, how did it trigger a divine grace response?!"

"Holy crap! And there are three feedback mechanisms!"

"What department is this person in? I've never seen him before?"

"..."

Chu Yang was unaware of how rare these three skill evolutions, directly granted by the system, were in the eyes of students in this world.

Even the grass outside the stone platform was preparing to come and see Chu Yang the next day.

Chu Yang's observation was almost complete...

Three beams of light entered his body, and Chu Yang's skill bar began to change.

The first thing to flash is [Bat Illusion] - transforming into a bat to dodge attacks, granting a follow-up effect to the next basic attack, increasing damage by 50%, with a 20-second cooldown.

Choose one of the three evolution effects:

1. The next basic attack will no longer trigger a follow-up attack, but this skill can be used twice in a row.

2. Cooldown time reduced to 10 seconds.

3. The next basic attack will no longer trigger a follow-up attack, but the time spent in bat form will be extended, and magic damage will be continuously dealt to enemies.

Evolution 3 can be ruled out for now; Chu Yang doesn't need this skill for dealing damage.

Evolution 1 and Evolution 2 each have their advantages. Evolution 1 is better at dodging damage, while Evolution 2 is better at sticking to enemies.

After a moment's thought, Chu Yang chose Evolution 2.

Then... came the [Shield Blast Technique] that Chu Yang cared about most—Shield Blast, which deals spell damage of 2 * current shield value to everyone within a three-meter radius around him. After casting, his own shield value is reduced to 0, with a 20-second cooldown.

The three evolution effects are as follows:

1. The damage range has evolved from three meters to six meters.

2. The damage amount has been changed from 2 * shield value to 4 * shield value.

3. Damage is reduced from 2*shield value to 1*shield value, but shield value is no longer consumed.

[Haha~ Hahaha~ Hahahaha~!]

[I'm truly invincible now!]

What other choice is there? Chu Yang is waiting for the effects of Evolution 3!

After completing the evolution, Chu Yang could no longer suppress the smile on his face as he looked at the effects of the new skill.

【Shield Blast + Blue】—Shield Blast, deals spell damage equal to 1*shield value to all enemies within a 3-meter radius. Cooldown: 20 seconds.

With this skill and the effect of the End Barrier, why would I be afraid of that cat?!

Several students who were looking at Chu Yang saw his smile and all showed expressions of envy.

There is no doubt that this person must have gained a lot.

Finally, there's the Shield Guardian's ultimate move, [Shield Strike].

The original effect of [Flying Shield Strike] was a rage skill that generated shields that continuously flew out, dealing 0.5 * (attack) physical damage each time and restoring 0.1 * (maximum health). If health was full, the shield value was restored, lasting for 30 seconds. One flying shield was generated every three seconds, with a 10-minute cooldown. Current rage value (0/100)

Chu Yang chose the following evolution effect: remove health regeneration, gain shield value without needing to be at full health, and double the shield value gained.

Having completed three evolutions, Chu Yang opened his eyes and revealed a satisfied smile.
