One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 4 God-level Passive Skills: Mana Storm, Divine Grace Chant!
Lin Yi had already noticed that all the high-level spells he had mastered had one thing in common.

That is, while its power is extremely terrifying, its skill consumption is also very high!
The chanting lasted a long time.

Take, for example, the seventh-tier spell [Heavenly Flame Dragon Breath] that Lin Yi just acquired.

[Heavenly Flame Dragon Breath]

[Type: Active Skills]

Rank: Seven

[Type: Fire]

[Cost: 30000 Mana]

[Chanting time: 20 seconds]

[Cooling time: 2 hours]

[Effect: Summons a giant dragon's scorching breath to descend from the sky, igniting all targets within its range, dealing massive fire damage and inflicting prolonged dragonfire burn damage.]

[Note: Everything it passed through was scorched earth.]

This seventh-tier spell requires 30,000 mana points to cast once.

It also requires an extra 20 seconds of chanting.

Lin Yi currently only has a maximum of 100 mana points, so he can't even use such a high-level skill.

Therefore, Lin Yi focused his attention on his two passive skills.

Especially the [Energy-Saving Spellcasting]!
Hopefully, this skill will bring me some surprises after I advance to the next level!
At least it will allow me to cast high-level spells!

Lin Yi switched his skill points to [Energy Saving Casting], and then, just like before when he allocated points to Fireball, he started frantically allocating skill points again!

The notification sounds kept ringing incessantly.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Yi received another notification that his last skill had been upgraded.

[Consuming 10 skill points, your Super Mana Surge has advanced, and you have gained a new passive skill: Mana Storm!]

Lin Yi also used over 100,000 skill points to upgrade the minor skill [Energy Saving Casting] to level 7.

Of course, its name is now much more imposing.

【Mana Storm】

[Type: Passive Skill]

Rank: Seven

Department: General Studies

[Effect 1: The mana cost of all your spells is reduced by 70%.]

[Effect 2: Your maximum mana gain from all sources is increased by 7 times, and you regenerate 7% of your maximum mana per second.]

[Effect 3: Every 8 hours, you have one opportunity to cast any spell of rank 9 or lower without cost. Current maximum number of uses: 1, maximum stack count: 3.]

[Note: I am the approaching storm.]

hiss……

Lin Yi gasped.

God's passive ability!
And it solved his immediate problem!
All skill mana costs are reduced by 70%, which means his survivability is much better.

The cost of one use of [Heavenly Flame Dragon Breath] has decreased from 30000 to 9000. Although it is still very high, it is by no means out of reach.

More importantly, he has three free spellcasting opportunities every day.

This way, he won't be unable to use his key skills because he runs out of mana.

Cool!
Without pausing, Lin Yi continued to focus his attention on the last remaining passive skill – [Quick Chanting].

Another frantic skill point allocation session lasting more than ten minutes.

Lin Yi was getting tired.

Although the experience of frantically improving one's skills is wonderful and exhilarating.

But it's undeniably boring and tedious.

All you need to do is keep clicking...

Lin Yi's hands were getting sore.

If other professionals knew about Lin Yi's troubles at this moment, they would probably be furious!

They all spent a whole day grinding through dungeons, earning dozens or even hundreds of skill points.

After careful consideration, I've figured out how to improve my skills with the best cost-effectiveness and maximum benefit.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, just mindlessly added points. Soon, another seventh-tier skill was born.

[Divine Grace Chant]

[Type: Passive Skill]

Rank: Seven

Department: General Studies

[Effect 1: When you cast spells below rank 5, the spell becomes instant; the casting time of spells above rank 5 is reduced by 70%.]

[Effect 2: Your chanting will not be interrupted by any skill below rank 7 that can interrupt, silence, or silence you.]

[Effect 3: Every 8 hours, you have one chance to instantly cast any spell of rank 9 or below. Current maximum number of uses: 1, maximum stack count: 3.]

[Note: Divine grace and protection, divine words sung.]

coming!

He's here with an instant-cast spell!
Lin Yi had previously anticipated that his two passive skills would become incredibly powerful after being upgraded.

But I didn't expect it to be this exaggerated.

They also cooperate with each other.

No cost to cast + instant cast!

This is our exciting combo!

If Lin Yi wanted to, he could even instantly unleash a seventh-tier Heavenly Flame Dragon Breath on the spot!

Although Lin Yi had not yet tested the power of this skill, he had a premonition.

This seventh-tier fire-type ultimate move came crashing down.

It's possible that most of Jiangcheng will suffer.

He's not some inhuman madman, so naturally he wouldn't do that.

But to be honest, Lin Yi was already itching to get started.

Since I can't openly use high-level skills in the city, can I at least try them out in a remote high-level leveling area?
Lin Yi threw all the alchemical potions, red and blue potions, experience scrolls, and return scrolls that he had just counted into the 50-slot personal space that came with his awakened class.

Afterwards, Lin Yi left home and went to the commercial street for life-related professionals in Jiangcheng, where he freeloaded a large amount of food and water.

Completely fill up your personal space.

The Great Xia Dynasty attached great importance to the cultivation of talent.

Therefore, newly awakened professionals like Lin Yi enjoy educational benefits.

All you need to do is tell these vendors: I am a student.

Then, by showing your student ID, you can get a lot of basic supply items for free.

With everything prepared, Lin Yi left the inner city of Jiangcheng and went to the outskirts.

The outskirts of the city are a vast grassland with a gentle breeze and lovely weather.

Looking around, Lin Yi could see many people of similar age wielding various weapons on the grassland, killing harmless small animals such as rabbits and groundhogs.

This is the lowest-level leveling area on the outskirts of Jiangcheng: Qingfeng Grassland.

The monsters on this grassland are generally level 1 to 4, and none of them will attack people unless provoked.

Even weak monsters like rabbits and groundhogs will only run away when attacked and will not fight back at all.

This place is a paradise for newbies.

Therefore, many newly awakened players choose to level up here.

However, the leveling efficiency will also be very low.

Because there are more people than monsters.

Most monsters are likely killed by a barrage of attacks as soon as they spawn.

Therefore, some ambitious people, or those with abundant wealth and stronger professions, will choose to venture deep into the grasslands to challenge more dangerous and stronger monsters, thus leveling up more efficiently.

Lin Yi bypassed the popular leveling areas of Qingfeng Grassland and headed deeper into the grassland.

It takes half a day to get away.

Half a day later, Lin Yi looked at the dense forest that appeared at the end of the grassland and breathed a sigh of relief.

That's the higher-level leveling area—Wailing Woods.

The monsters in the forest are generally level 9 or higher, and they are all bloodthirsty and brutal, and will attack on their own initiative.
