I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 63: Learn a new skill, imbued with a curse attribute.

After continuing his conversation with Lin Cai'er for a while, Jiang Chen learned a lot of things he didn't know before...

According to Lin Cai'er, there was originally another participant in this trial, Lei Ren's younger brother.

However, due to Hong Shen's intervention, Lei Ren's younger brother was squeezed out of the spot, so Lei Ren felt disgusted with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was dissatisfied with the quota issue, which is why he acted that way just now.

Although Lin Cai'er didn't know the specifics of the trial, she knew that this trial was very important and had specific requirements for the level, which couldn't be too high or too low.

The information she had was extremely limited, and Jiang Chen couldn't learn much from her either. Everything would have to wait until tomorrow to be revealed.

Jiang Chen naturally didn't take today's unpleasantness to heart.

Jiang Chen didn't take Lei Ren seriously; he was full of confidence.

In Jiang Chen's eyes, Lei Ren was nothing more than a clown, and he simply ignored him.

Faced with overwhelming strength, Jiang Chen had absolute confidence.

He believed he was no weaker than any professional below level 30.

The small dormitory room was brightly lit, like daytime.

Jiang Chen was attempting to activate a basic skill scroll, his body enveloped in a ball of light.

But a few minutes later, the ball of light disappeared, and Jiang Chen sighed. He had not successfully mastered the new skill.

Using skill scrolls does not guarantee the awakening of a skill. Even if you do awaken a skill, it may not be a new skill; it could be an old skill that you have already mastered.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon among professionals and happens from time to time.

Jiang Chen knew this was normal; as one acquires more skills, the probability of learning new ones decreases.

In this situation, the only solution is to use a large number of skill scrolls; there is no other way…

A basic skill scroll costs only 1000 gold coins, which is not expensive. Even if you use 100 scrolls, it will only cost 10 million gold coins.

However, intermediate skill scrolls cost 1000 million gold coins each, and their price will increase significantly if used in large quantities.

I can only pray that I'll have good luck when it comes to intermediate skill scrolls, and that I'll get the skill I want every time...

Jiang Chen had two beginner skill scrolls. The first one failed, so he used the second. The ball of light reappeared, enveloping him. He gradually felt his body heat up, and a strange aura surged from within him.

He had experienced this feeling before, and a slight joy welled up in his heart—a good omen!

"This feeling is like learning a new skill."

Jiang Chen thought excitedly.

This skill scroll was not wasted.

"Gained skill: Slow Curse".

"Slow Curse (Level 1): Curses enemies within a 5-meter radius, reducing their speed by 5% for 1 minute."

Through talent enhancement.

The curse's range increased from 5 meters to 100 meters, a 20-fold increase.

The slowing effect has also been increased by 20 times, reducing the target's speed by a full 100%, including attack speed and movement speed.

In this way, the enemy's attack power is reduced by more than half.

Moreover, it lasts for up to 20 minutes.

That's an amazing skill, yet another amazing skill.

Jiang Chen was studying the slowing curse.

"My skills can be divided into summoning, attack, and curse types. I wonder if there will be other systems added."

"Curse-type skills greatly weaken enemies, significantly increasing not only safety but also indirectly increasing one's own attack power."

"Each faction is extremely powerful."

After studying the skill, he used his mental energy to summon four skeleton warriors, and then drank a bottle of basic mental potion.

His mental strength began to recover rapidly.

The effects of the potion lasted for 10 minutes, restoring 100 points of mental energy.

Having learned about the potion's effects, Jiang Chen began to meditate. It takes 100 points of mental energy to drink one bottle every hour.

For his mental strength of 1000 points, it only accounts for one-tenth.

If recovery relies solely on medication, it will take 10 hours.

All things considered, it's not much faster than meditation.

Jiang Chen calculated that if he used meditation in conjunction with the potion, the efficiency wouldn't actually increase much.

Repeatedly interrupting meditation to drink potions will greatly affect the effectiveness of meditation.

Not only would it be troublesome, but it would also be a losing proposition.

The communicator emitted pleasant music, pulling Jiang Chen back from his meditative state.

He then remembered that when he was in the logistics department earlier today, Lin Cai'er had suggested that he use 100 points to exchange for a communicator.

The ringtone was set by Lin Cai'er. Jiang Chen's communicator only had Lin Cai'er in it.

"Get up! The sun's already high in the sky!"

As soon as the call connected, Lin Cai'er's quirky voice came through.

"I'm downstairs. Come down quickly and have breakfast together. We'll be leaving after we finish eating."

"it is good."

Lin Cai'er bought a lot of food.

"I don't know how long this will take, so I need to prepare more food."

"Otherwise, like last time, I almost starved to death."

"Luckily, I had your sweet potato."

Jiang Chen chuckled to himself.

They would rather eat sweet potatoes than steamed buns.

Jiang Chen silently followed behind and paid the money. He spent 1 gold coins and bought enough food for the two of them to eat for a month.

Fortunately, the storage space is quite large, so it can still fit.

The cost of living at Shenlong University is really high; money is spent like water.

Ten thousand gold coins would be enough for Jiang Chen to live on for several years in Baiyun City.

Fang Hongxiu and the others from Qianlong Academy were already waiting.

Not only Fang Hongxiu and others, but also many others in the academy formed their own teams.

Lin Cai'er pulled Jiang Chen over.

Fang Hongxiu checked the time and said seriously, "Don't wander around after we're teleported there."

This wasn't her first time undergoing the trial; she clearly had a lot of experience.

Lei Ren stared at Jiang Chen with disgust.

"Kid, don't hold me back, or I won't be so lenient with you!"

Lin Cai'er snorted coldly.

"Just don't hold us back."

Fang Hongxiu had a headache.

"Whatever your conflicts or thoughts, put them aside after the trial."

"You should all understand the importance of this trial."

"Now, everyone, please introduce your profession."

As the team leader, she had to unite the team at this time.

Even if it's just superficial unity, it must be achieved.

Otherwise, it would be better to give up on this trial.

"Zhang Yang, Level 20, Prophet."

"Liu Cui, Level 20, Elf Elder."

Both the Prophet and the Elf Elder are support classes, and both are rare support classes.

The Prophet primarily increases various status effects. If a team has a high-level Prophet with a full range of skills, the team's combat power can at least double.

The Elf Elder is a healer-type class, specializing in healing and also capable of simple monster control.

Under Fang Hongxiu's gaze, Lei Ren reluctantly said, "Lei Ren, level 21, warlock."

Like elemental mages, warlocks are also a type of mage, and are also a rare class.

The two sides have some overlap in their skills as well as some differences.

"Lin Cai'er, Level 19, Shadow Assassin."

"Jiang Chen, Level 17, Necromancer."

"Fang Hongxiu, Level 23, Elf Knight".

Fang Hongxiu's gaze swept over everyone. "I'll say it again, this trial requires unity. Anyone who dares to hold us back during the trial, don't blame me for being impolite."

Fang Hongxiu looked serious, and even Lei Ren perked up his ears.

Lin Cai'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Hongxiu, we definitely won't affect the trial."

Giant teleportation arrays began to appear in the sky.

"Hidden Dragon Academy, initiating trial teleportation!"

A resolute look appeared on Fang Hongxiu's face as she spoke in a deep voice.

Jiang Chen secretly praised him, thinking that he was indeed worthy of being the captain, as his words exuded a heroic spirit.
