Four Skills for All.

Passive skills? What are those? Not a single book in my three years of high school recorded them, and no one ever mentioned them.

When all the skill icons appeared, Mo Xiu was even more confused.

There's only one icon, the name "Flip," and not even a skill description.

The book clearly states that when a person is awake, they are in a special state. From the outside, it appears that the person is in a state of shutdown, but in reality, the brain is working at high speed, making skill selections.

The three awakenings are done in the same way: three skill icons appear in the mind, along with the skill names and descriptions.

However, only one image appeared in Mo Xiu's mind. There was no way to choose it, and there was no description. In other words, Mo Xiu did not know what the function of this skill was.

Even in this situation, Mo Xiu remained calm. There is no time limit for choosing skills during awakening, so Mo Xiu wanted to wait and see if there would be a turning point.

In his awakened state, devoid of any concept of time, Mo Xiu had no idea how long he had waited. Nothing in front of him had changed; the skill called Flip was simply watching him indifferently.

"I don't know how much time has passed outside, but we can't delay any longer. Let it turn around!"

Mo Xiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose this skill.

When consciousness comes into contact with the skill pattern, the skill materializes as golden light that surges into the mind.

Just as Mo Xiu was about to check out the skill, he found that he could not control his body.

In other words, I haven't yet emerged from the state of awakening. What's going on?

Puzzled, a light appeared before my eyes again. As the light drew closer, three patterns appeared this time.

What? Was the choice I made just now a lie? Has my awakening only just begun?

Once the three skill icons were set, Mo Xiu examined them carefully.

Skill: Infinite Blaze

Effect: Summons explosive flames

Cooldown time: 5 minutes

Skill: God's Peep

Effect: View the approximate skill effect, detailed cooldown time, and duration of the released target (single target).

Cooldown time: 1 hour

Skill: Descent of the God of War

Effect: Increases all attributes (speed, strength, stamina, etc.) by 100%.

Duration: 3 minutes

Cooldown time: 3 hour

Even when the accident happened just now, he didn't panic at all, but after seeing these three skills, Mo Xiu could no longer remain calm.

"This? This is too powerful!"

After his initial amazement, Mo Xiu fell into deep thought. All three skills were incredibly powerful, each with its own advantages.

The strength of Infinite Blaze lies in its short cooldown. Although the skill effect doesn't specify its power, it's likely to be quite strong. Generally, skills with such wide-area explosive power have very long cooldowns.

A short cooldown time means that you can unleash devastating skills multiple times in a single battle.

The Descent of the God of War is easier to understand; it's about giving yourself a buff that increases your overall attributes by 100%, which is terrifying. Generally, newly awakened buff skills only increase a single attribute, such as speed, and the increase isn't this significant.

What shocked Mo Xiu the most was the ability to see other people's skills directly. He had never heard of a skill that could directly see other people's skills, just like when Wang Hu's skills were revealed before. The confidentiality of skills is very important.

Knowing your opponent's skills before a battle can significantly increase your chances of winning.

After some hesitation, Mo Xiu decided to choose between the gaze of God and the descent of the God of War.

The Spying skill is practically cheating, and Mo Xiu doesn't want to let it go.

The Descent of the God of War can enhance one's strength in a short period of time. Mo Xiu has been studying combat since childhood, and this skill is very suitable for him.

One skill grants special privileges but offers little help in the college entrance examination, while another skill can help one achieve a good score in the college entrance examination.

It's a choice between the present and the future.

After some deliberation, Mo Xiu decided to choose the Descent of the God of War, as it would be of greater help.

After the consciousness touched it, the skill of the Descent of the God of War also turned into golden light and surged into the mind.

After the selection was completed, the icons for the other two skills did not disappear, causing Mo Xiu to frown deeply.

What on earth is going on? Why are there so many strange things happening since I awakened?

Is there a problem with the skill selection? Is the "Descent of the Martial God" skill unavailable?

Mo Xiu shook his head and touched God's gaze with his consciousness again.

Before the golden light had even dissipated, Mo Xiu's vision went white, and he opened his eyes.

What... what happened? This awakening feels like a dream.

Mo Xiu suddenly sat up, focused his attention, and two images appeared in his mind.

One is inversion, the other is God's spying.

"Huh? What's going on? How come I have two skills? Did I awaken two skills at once? No, according to records, awakening multiple skills at once is done in two stages. After selecting the first skill, you will wake up and then enter the awakening state again within a day."

"Xiao Xiu, you're awake?"

A voice interrupted Mo Xiu's thoughts. He looked up and saw his mother.

Mo Xiu remained in a trance state all night, and Li Yuan stayed by his side without leaving for a moment.

"Have you awakened?"

"Um!"

"Are your skills alright?"

"good."

"That's good. Get up and eat. I'll make you a bowl of longevity noodles."

His mother didn't ask any more questions, and Mo Xiu didn't say much either, because he knew his mother believed he could handle everything.

After tidying up briefly, Mo Xiu came to the dining table and was somewhat moved as he looked at a simple bowl of longevity noodles.

For so many years, my mother has been the sole breadwinner for this family, so earning money is very difficult for her.

Once I get into university, I can try to get scholarships and do some part-time jobs to earn money.

"Mom, thank you!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "You brat, don't be so polite with your mother."

Mo Xiu scratched his head and said, "Hehe, thank you so much."

Mo Xiu went out shortly after finishing his meal. Although he was looking forward to trying out his skills, he had to go to school today and couldn't find a quiet place to study them.

Mo Xiu ran into Zheng Yi at the school gate, which was a bit strange. This kid always arrived last, so why was he here so early today?

"Zheng Yi, good morning! Did the sun rise in the west today? You're here so early."

Zheng Yi said irritably, "You're so heartless! I came early specifically to wait for you because it's your birthday and you've awakened your skills today. Hey! How are they?"

In this era, everyone knows the importance of hidden skills, so Zheng Yi didn't directly ask Mo Xiu what his skills were, but rather how they were.

Mo Xiu paused for a moment and said, "It's alright, but it won't help much with the college entrance exam."

"Oh? So it's not a practical skill? If 100 is a perfect score, how would you rate your skill?"

"95 points."

Zheng Yi was quite surprised. He knew Mo Xiu well. Although Mo Xiu sometimes joked around, he was very serious and meticulous in his work. 95 points was not low.

It seems that Mo Xiu's skills are really good, and Zheng Yi is genuinely happy for Mo Xiu.

In fact, Mo Xiu didn't hide anything. The reason it was 95 instead of 100 was because too many strange things happened during the awakening, and he couldn't be sure of the skill's strength.

By the way, why not try God's Peep? I just don't know if it will have any effect when the skill is released.

With this idea in mind, Mo Xiu grabbed Zheng Yi's arm and dragged him to the path next to the school.

"Hey, hey, Mo Xiu, what are you doing?"

Mo Xiu looked at Zheng Yi seriously and said, "I'm sorry!"

Afterwards, Mo Xiu used God's Sight on Zheng Yi, and a message appeared in Mo Xiu's mind.

First skill: Purple Lightning

Effect: After release, the entire body is enveloped in purple lightning, increasing speed by 100%, and attacks inflict paralysis.

Duration: 2 minutes

Cooldown time: 3 hour

It really can read other people's skills, and in such detail at that. This is incredible!

Mo Xiu suppressed his excitement and looked up at Zheng Yi, asking, "Did I experience anything unusual just now? Like, anything that made me glow?"

Zheng Yi looked puzzled and said, "No, what's wrong? Why are you asking these strange questions one minute and then suddenly saying sorry?"

Mo Xiu said, "Alright, class is about to start, let's go back."

Zheng Yi said "oh" and started walking back.

Mo Xiu had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with shock.

Because when Mo Xiu looked at the skill in his mind again, the skill had changed, and the name under the skill icon was now "The Descent of the God of War".

???

The skill has changed? Why? Could it be... a flip?!
