I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

[Forbidden Power (Gold)]: You can freely control the output intensity of all skills, and because of the forbidden power, you can specialize in all attribute skills, and your spirit value is equal to the amplification value of all attributes.

[Insightful Divine Eye (Gold)]: You can see through everything in the world, view the attributes of all targets, and also see through the essence of skills. Skill upgrade speed is increased by 300%.

[Immortal Body (Gold)]: Actively activates Immortal Body, granting immunity to all damage for 30 seconds, with a 300-second cooldown; Passively, it automatically activates when health drops below 1%, granting immunity to all damage for 60 seconds, with a 180-second cooldown.

Holy crap!!!

After reading the contents, Lu Yun almost spat out the crab leg he was eating.

Admittedly, these three talents seem unremarkable, without much flair.

However, these three talents could allow him to achieve a qualitative leap in his strength.

First, let's talk about the seemingly worst item, the Eye of Truth.

The purpose of this talent is to allow Lu Yun to see everyone's character panel without level restrictions.

It may look a bit rubbish, but it's actually very useful in real combat.

Why is everyone so keen on hiding their profile?

Because the panel is the most direct way to showcase one's abilities, and also the root cause of revealing personal secrets.

For example, which attribute is high and which attribute is low, what skills they have, their strengths and weaknesses are immediately apparent. Experts can easily identify the opponent's weaknesses from the panel and take advantage of them. They can also judge which skills the opponent is good at by the skill level and thus judge the opponent's output method, giving them an innate advantage.

The higher the rarity of a profession, the more afraid people are of having their profile information seen by others.

Because they have talent, and talent is both their trump card and their weakness.

If your weaknesses and shortcomings are exposed to others right from the start, what's the point of playing?

Similarly, the same principle applies to monsters.

Therefore, checking someone else's profile without permission is extremely impolite and can be seen as a provocation.

Now that he is a forbidden mage, his stats cannot be viewed, but he can view other people's stats, giving him an innate advantage. Is he still trash?

In Lu Yun's eyes, it was a divine skill, not to mention that it could also increase the speed of skill upgrades.

It's important to know that the only way to upgrade a skill is by continuously using it to increase proficiency and thus level up the skill.

However, Lu Yun's skill damage is too high now. He can basically clear a dungeon with just three to five skills. Leveling up is extremely difficult.

But now the speed has increased by 300%, and it can take off directly.

Because he was absolutely certain of one thing: once the skills were upgraded, their abilities would definitely become stronger due to the modifications.

Even if three winds become five winds, that's still an enhancement, right?

Secondly, there's the Invincible Golden Body. It grants invincibility for 30 seconds when activated and for 1 minute when activated passively. For a squishy mage, this is like a treasure from heaven.

Mom no longer has to worry about me getting killed by a sneak attack.

Finally, and this is the talent that truly excites Lu Yun: Forbidden Power!

Freely control the output intensity of skills and the effects of all attribute specializations!

Also, his spirit value determines the increase in other attributes!

His damage output is too high now, and his skills are too overpowered. Whenever he makes a move, he will be the center of attention. Who would dare to play against him?

They might even become the target of public criticism.

You can tell a thing or two from Xu Qingmeng's and the other person's reactions, even when half of their damage was suppressed.

This is completely out of character for him; he prefers to play dumb to make a fortune quietly.

Imagine if someone foolishly challenged him, he would come up and show weakness by releasing only 10% of his power, and then unleash a powerful attack at a crucial moment to intimidate the entire field.

Isn't this more satisfying than just showing off right away?

These days, being a nobody is way more fun than being a show-off, right?

Moreover, his skills are his trump card; wouldn't it be better to hide them?

Besides, he has no background, he's just an ordinary person. If he comes in and starts making a big fuss, wouldn't that be stupid?

Once he's strong enough, won't he be able to just not eat beef if he doesn't want to?

In addition, magic-based classes will have attribute biases in the later stages due to class advancement and skills. For example, fire mages specialize in fire damage, and water mages specialize in water damage.

But he is different. With the forbidden power, he can specialize in all attributes and doesn't need to consider which skill to give up, which is the biggest advantage for him.

Moreover, there's the fact that spirit equals attribute amplification?

Those with talent know best how difficult it is to increase an attribute by even one point; its calculation method and output formula are different from simply increasing mental value.

But now he doesn't need to worry at all. His spirit value is 100, so all his attributes will increase by 100. His spirit value is 1000, so all his attributes will increase by 1000.

From now on, when using any skill, even one with exclusive attribute damage, he no longer needs to worry about the damage being reduced due to low attribute amplification.

Therefore, this talent is absolutely the most awesome!

Lu Yun slowly curled the corners of his mouth, his mood instantly improving.

Now that I've made money and become stronger, it's time to go home, get a good night's sleep, and figure out where to do my missions.

"I wonder if there's any news from Xu Qingmeng. The Xu family is the second-ranked family in Mingguang City, with extensive connections. Maybe..."

"Ring ring!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qingmeng called.

Lu Yun was taken aback. After the communication was connected, a virtual panel appeared in front of him.

And Xu Qingmeng's beautiful figure appeared right in the middle.

Lu Yun was surprised that she actually video-called him.

"Lu Yun?"

Seeing that Lu Yun was somewhat dazed and clearly eating, Xu Qingmeng said apologetically.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to disturb your meal."

Lu Yun wiped his mouth with a tissue and said.

"It's nothing. Did you call me because you have news?"

Xu Qingmeng nodded.

"Yes, I've made some progress. Now I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

Lu Yun was somewhat speechless.

"What's the difference? We'll find out sooner or later anyway, so let's hear the bad news first."

Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but mutter a laugh.

"I knew it right away..."

"Ah, of all those things you mentioned, I only know about the Heart of the Elf. To obtain it, you have to go to the Elf Forest in the Monster Plains and kill the Elf Queen for a chance to get it."

"But the Elf Forest is an epic-level secret realm, and it hasn't opened yet, so you won't find it even if you go to the Monster Plains."

This is indeed bad news; of the five, we only managed to find out about one, and we can't go there yet.

However, it's good that we were able to find out.

"Do you know when it will be turned on?"

Xu Qingmeng smiled apologetically.

"That's all I've found out so far. I'll have to find out the exact timing."

She couldn't reveal Lu Yun's secret, nor could she reveal that Lu Yun had received a mission.

Otherwise, he would be in big trouble, so she couldn't openly use her connections or ask her elders.

Therefore, we can only try to get information indirectly.

"It's okay, no rush."

Xu Qing thought for a moment, then spoke very carefully.

"Actually, this bad news isn't all bad news. I used the names of those things to search for related dungeons and secret realms, and there's a high probability that they're related to the legendary top ten epic secret realms."

"And the ownership of these ten epic secret realms, including the Elf Forest Secret Realm, is in the hands of the ten top universities."

"If you want to get in legitimately and without obstacles, joining one of the top ten universities is the best choice."

Most of the rare and high-level secret realms are held by various factions. These realms represent resources, status, and power, and are also a reflection of a faction's strength and resources.

Entering as an outsider would face numerous obstacles and require a huge amount of money and materials, which would not be good for Lu Yun.

Therefore, Xu Qingmeng is right; joining one of the top ten universities is the best choice.

Of course, because of his commoner status with no background, he was destined to join the academy to continue his university studies and rely on the academy's resources to strengthen himself.

After all, whether you join a family or a large guild, you're just working for someone else.

Perhaps, I'll even have to be used as a guinea pig and put on the operating table.

"Okay, I was just planning to go to Imperial Capital Academy too."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Xu Qingmeng's eyes.

"Imperial Capital Academy is the number one academy in the Dragon Kingdom, and that's my goal. Moreover, given your leveling speed, Imperial Capital Academy will definitely let you join."

Admittedly, colleges consider the rarity of a profession when admitting students, but not everyone has a highly rare profession.

Even the most prestigious colleges need to recruit some professions with average rarity.

Lu Yun is a mage, and his leveling speed is the fastest in the world. As long as the Imperial Academy isn't stupid, it would never refuse to accept him just because he is an ordinary-level mage.

Seemingly very excited about Lu Yun's decision, Xu Qingmeng became more talkative.

"The teachers at Imperial Capital Academy are the best in the country. They have rich practical experience and broad knowledge. Maybe some of them know where those things are. At the very least, Imperial Capital Academy has the largest library in the country, which may contain clues."

"Moreover, the entrance examination is open to the whole country, and the top 100 students will receive a reward, with the first place receiving an even more generous reward."

"If you can then take the top spot in the academy, it won't be difficult to get answers from the dean. That would make it much easier to find what you're looking for."

Schools are the foundation of the nation, so naturally they receive strong support.

In terms of benefits, it is definitely better than most families and guilds.

Lu Yun nodded.

"Indeed, if even the dean doesn't know, then it's probably hard to believe for others either."

Lu Yun felt that a personal mission shouldn't be that difficult.

"Okay, it's settled then. We'll team up for the entrance exam in a month, and the team battle will be held together."

what?

Lu Yun was taken aback, not expecting this girl to speak so quickly.

But it doesn't matter. The team battle for the entrance exam is a benefit for freshmen. The monsters give a lot of experience and drop a lot of loot, so you need to team up.

He has no friends, just a very filial son. It would be easier if someone wanted to team up with him.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Lu Yun was both amused and exasperated, but Xu Qingmeng was clearly very happy.

"Oh right, I haven't told you the good news yet."

Xu Qingmeng slowly curled the corners of her mouth and said.

"I've received breaking news that a world boss has appeared within the mountain city area."

"The BOSS is currently in the incubation stage, and based on speculation, it should appear tomorrow."

"are you going?"

"Go! We have to go!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun agreed without hesitation.

World bosses spawn randomly, with their time, location, level, rarity, and so on all being random.

However, any world boss will definitely drop good items.

This thing is extremely rare, so Lu Yun naturally didn't want to miss it.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the Mountain City Teleportation Tower tomorrow."

After confirming the meeting time, Xu Qingmeng hung up.

Lu Yun quickly finished his meal and ran back to sleep.

After all, it took two hours of this, it was really tiring...
