Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

The power of the Flame Lightning Talisman far exceeded Xu Hao's expectations, far exceeding the simple combination of lightning and soul fire talismans. To use an imperfect analogy, it's like Trunks and Goten from Dragon Ball; individually, they're weak, but when they fuse into Gotenks, they immediately become top-tier fighters.

That's roughly the idea. Xu Hao calculated based on his experience that, in terms of single-target damage, the Flame Thunder Talisman's power was almost equivalent to a beginner-level Fiery Sword Technique, and he was only level 23! If he reached level 35 or 40 later, wouldn't he be able to kill anyone he saw?!

Xu Hao smiled slightly and beckoned Zi Yu to continue leveling up. They left the First Line of Sky and arrived at the Death Coffin, where there were even more monsters, and the number of pincers was much greater than in the First Line of Sky.

The talisman drew a dazzling arc in the air, accompanied by a thunderous roar. A fierce burst of flames mixed with the power of lightning suddenly erupted, killing any pincers or maggots that touched it.

Zi Yu stood aside, watching the scene intently, deeply moved.

How come Brother Xu Hao's fire talisman is so powerful? Is it some kind of top-tier equipment that greatly enhances Taoist magic?

But since her outward appearance was almost identical to that of the Soul Fire Talisman, she didn't think much of it. She just marveled at how quickly she had defeated the monsters today.

Xu Hao smiled slightly, secretly pleased with himself; the power of the Flame Thunder Talisman was indeed extraordinary. Although Zi Yu didn't realize it was a new skill, the intertwining of lightning and flames flickered continuously within the Coffin of Death. Under the impact of this powerful force, the monsters fell one after another, turning into experience points that flowed into the two of them.

The Flame Thunder Talisman actually has a hidden advantage: it can better conceal Xu Hao's second professional identity.

Just now, he had decided to accept Ziyu's invitation to join the guild called Liyuefang and participate in the siege battle together in the future.

Xu Hao knew that once on the battlefield, using both lightning and fire spells simultaneously would inevitably attract attention and expose his secret. However, relying solely on fire spells would indeed hinder his combat effectiveness, preventing him from unleashing his full potential on the battlefield.

With the Flame Thunder Talisman, these concerns were easily resolved.

The Flame Lightning Talisman is almost identical in appearance to the Soul Fire Talisman, and in the chaotic battlefield, with lightning flashing and flames flying everywhere, no one would bother to distinguish the difference. Xu Hao secretly calculated that the Flame Lightning Talisman's power was enough to unleash a powerful attack without attracting attention.

In this way, he can remain low-key and unnoticed by others, while also delivering a fatal blow to the enemy at the crucial moment.

"I won't have to hide myself while leveling up anymore," Xu Hao thought to himself, secretly relieved. With the powerful and concealed skill, the Flame Thunder Talisman, he no longer needed to carefully hide his dual-class identity. He could use the Flame Thunder Talisman openly without worrying about being discovered. Others would just see him as an ordinary Taoist, and during PvP, if they were hit by such a fire talisman crackling with lightning, they'd probably think they'd been ambushed by a mage hiding nearby.

Beautiful!

While rapidly leveling up by defeating monsters, Xu Hao constantly pondered the future skill development direction of his second profession. He had already reached level 23 and mastered almost all the skills available at that level. He began to consider the next skill he needed to prioritize improving.

The biggest requirement is that it can be integrated with the skills of the primary profession.

"Fire Wall?" Xu Hao asked himself, but quickly dismissed the idea. "I can only learn that at level 24, and Fire Wall consumes too much mana, making it quite troublesome to level up." He frowned, recalling the feeling of his mana rapidly depleting when he used Fire Wall before, and decided he didn't want to touch that skill for the time being.

"Instant teleportation?" He continued to ponder, then shook his head. "That's too troublesome; it's much more convenient to just use a random teleportation ticket." The biggest advantage of this skill is that it saves space in a mage's inventory for dungeon escape tickets. Its practicality isn't very high.

"Besides, what skills can you combine with teleportation?" he muttered to himself, feeling that the skill was too independent and difficult to combine effectively with other skills.

"What early skills are still worth practicing?" Xu Hao glanced at his skill list, then his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a treasure. "Huh!?" He stopped what he was doing in surprise, stared intently, and discovered a skill he had long overlooked—Light of Temptation.

The skill "Light of Temptation" is actually a required skill for mages. However, when a mage is still weak, this skill is completely useless.

Imagine you're going into battle with five rake cats—what could you possibly do? Their attack power is negligible; even if all five attacked together, they probably couldn't defeat a single skeleton warrior.

However, as the mage's level increases, the potential of Temptation Light gradually becomes apparent. When the mage reaches level 26, they can use this skill to lure centipedes, at which point its usefulness begins to become somewhat apparent. Centipedes have much stronger attack power and health than the Rake Cat, and with five centipedes, traversing at least the Zombie Cave and Skeleton Cave should be no problem at all.

At level 28, mages can use Temptation Light to lure the Black Evil Maggots, at which point the skill's true effect is unleashed. The Black Evil Maggots not only have higher attack power but are also outrageously fast, making them especially useful in PvP battles; five maggots are almost as effective as a single mythical beast.

At this stage, Temptation Light finally becomes a usable skill.

When a mage reaches level 32, the true potential of Temptation Light is fully unleashed. At this point, the mage can summon Pincers, whose powerful attack and defense capabilities give the mage a significant advantage in battle, enabling them to face even stronger enemies, and opening up a vast new world for them.

However, to achieve all this, the mage must upgrade Temptation Light to level three in the early stages.

Many inexperienced players often overlook this point, only remembering to level up Temptation Light when they reach level 26. As a result, others are easily defeating monsters in the Pig Cave with their maggots, while they have to painstakingly practice their skills on archers.

But now there's still a question: which skill of my primary class can I fuse with the Light of Temptation?

Xu Hao frowned, his mind racing. He knew that Temptation Light was a mental skill, and as a Taoist, he didn't seem to have many mental skills. He racked his brains, trying to find a skill that could be combined with Temptation Light.

"Mental combat technique?" Xu Hao suddenly thought of this skill, and his heart stirred slightly. This skill does indeed belong to the mental category in the Taoist's skill tree, but it is a passive skill, mainly used to enhance the Taoist's mental strength and spell resistance.

Whether they can be fused together, and what kind of thing they can create, is hard to say!

Xu Hao was caught in a dilemma.
