I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

: God-Tier Passive Skills, Mana Storm, Divine Grace Chant!

Lin Yi had already noticed a characteristic of the high-level spells he had mastered so far.

They were immensely powerful, but their skill consumption was also immense!

The chanting time was also very long.

Take the tier seven spell "Celestial Flame Dragon Breath" that Lin Yi had just acquired, for example.

"Celestial Flame Dragon Breath"

[Type: Active Skill]

[Level: Tier Seven]

[System: Fire System]

[Consumption: 30,000 Mana Value]

[Chanting Time: 20 seconds]

[Cooldown Time: 2 hours]

[Effect: Summon the scorching breath of a dragon from the sky, igniting all targets within the breath's range, causing significant fire damage and adding prolonged Dragon Flame burning damage.]

[Note: Wherever it passes, is scorched earth.]

This tier seven spell requires 30,000 mana points for a single cast.

It also requires an enormous 20 seconds of chanting.

Lin Yi currently only has a mana limit of 100 points, making it impossible to use such high-level skills.

So Lin Yi turned his focus to his two passive skills.

Especially "Energy Saving Casting"!

He hoped that after leveling up this skill, it would bring him pleasant surprises!

At the very least, it could allow him to cast high-level spells!

Lin Yi switched his skill point distribution to "Energy Saving Casting", and then just like he did with the Fireball Technique, he began frantically adding points!

The chime of notifications was incessant.

Over ten minutes later, Lin Yi received the final skill upgrade notification.

[You have consumed 100,000 skill points, your "Super Mana Surge" has advanced, and you have obtained a new passive skill: Mana Storm!]

Similarly, by spending hundreds of thousands of skill points, Lin Yi upgraded the small skill "Energy Saving Casting" to tier seven.

Of course, now its name is much more impressive.

"Mana Storm"

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Level: Tier Seven]

[System: General System]

[Effect 1: All your spells have their mana consumption reduced by 70%.]

[Effect 2: Your maximum mana limit from all sources increases by 7 times, and you restore 7% of your maximum mana every second.]

[Effect 3: Every 8 hours, you have one opportunity to cast any tier nine or below spell without consumption, current available instances: 1, maximum stack count is 3.]

[Note: I am the approaching storm.]

Hiss...

Lin Yi took a deep breath.

Godly passive!

And it solved his urgent problem perfectly!

All skills now have mana consumption reduced by 70%, meaning his endurance has improved greatly.

The consumption for one "Celestial Flame Dragon Breath" has dropped from 30,000 to 9,000, still high, but not unattainable.

Even more crucially, he now has 3 chances daily to cast for free.

This way, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to use key skills due to lack of mana.

Awesome!

Lin Yi wasted no time and immediately focused on his last passive skill—"Quick Chanting".

Another frantic point allocation session lasting over ten minutes.

Lin Yi was already feeling a bit tired.

Although this experience of frantically enhancing his skills was very pleasant and exciting,

it was truly monotonous.

The required action was just to keep clicking...

Lin Yi's hands were sore.

If other practitioners found out about Lin Yi's woes at this moment, they might be infuriated to death!

For everyone else, it was a hard day of dungeon grinding to earn a few dozen to a hundred skill points.

Carefully considering and deliberating how to maximize the cost-effectiveness and benefits of improving their skills.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, just mindlessly added points and it was done.

Before long, another tier seven skill was freshly baked.

"Divine Grace Chant"

[Type: Passive Skill]

[Level: Tier Seven]

[System: General System]

[Effect 1: When you cast spells of tier five or below, they become instantaneous, and spells above tier five have their chanting time reduced by 70%.]

[Effect 2: Your chants cannot be interrupted by any tier seven or below disrupt, silence, or anti-magic class skills.]

[Effect 3: Every 8 hours, you have one opportunity to instantly cast any tier nine or below spell, current available instances: 1, max stack count is 3.]

[Note: Divine Grace Protection, Divine Speech Chant.]

Here it comes!

Instantaneous spell is here!

Lin Yi had previously predicted that these two passive skills, once leveled up, should be quite amazing.

But he didn't expect them to be this amazing.

And they even synergize with each other.

Free casting + instant casting!

This is our exhilarating combo technique!

If Lin Yi wished, he could even instantly cast a tier seven "Celestial Flame Dragon Breath" right then and there!

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

If a tier seven fire-type ultimate were to be unleashed from above.

It could bring disaster to a significant part of Jiangcheng.

He's not some anti-human maniac, so naturally he wouldn't do such a thing.

But truth be told, Lin Yi was already itching to act.

If he couldn't brazenly throw high-level skills around the city, then surely he could test them in secluded high-level training areas, right?

Lin Yi gathered all the alchemy potions, red and blue potions, a few experience scrolls, and town recall scrolls that he had already sorted out, and tossed them into the 50-slot personal space that came with his awakened profession.

Afterwards, Lin Yi left his home and headed to the commerce street for lifestyle practitioners in Jiangcheng to reap a haul of food and water for free.

He completely filled his personal space.

Xia highly values talent cultivation.

Therefore, new practitioners who have just awakened their skills like Lin Yi are entitled to educational benefits.

All they need to do is tell those lifestyle merchant vendors: I'm a student.

Then show their student ID to earn a large amount of basic supply items for free.

With everything ready, Lin Yi walked out from the inner city of Jiangcheng and headed to the suburbs.

The suburbs stretched into vast grasslands, with gentle breezes blowing and the weather being excellent today.

From where Lin Yi was, he could see many people his age swinging all sorts of weapons across the grasslands, hunting small, harmless animals like rabbits and groundhogs.

This was the lowest-level training area on the outskirts of Jiangcheng: Qingfeng Grassland.

The monsters in this grassland were generally between level 1 and 4, and none would proactively attack humans.

Even weak monsters like rabbits and groundhogs would only flee when attacked, never retaliating.

This place was a haven for beginners.

Therefore, a large number of people who had just awakened their professions would choose to train here.

However, correspondingly, the leveling efficiency was also low.

Because there were more people than monsters.

Most monsters might just respawn and are immediately taken down by a barrage of attacks.

So some ambitious people, those with substantial family support, or those with stronger professions would opt to venture deeper into the grassland to challenge stronger, more dangerous monsters for higher leveling efficiency.

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

He walked for half a day.

After half a day, Lin Yi saw a dense forest at the end of the grassland and let out a deep breath.

That was the more advanced leveling area—the Wailing Forest.

The monsters in the forest were generally level 9 or above, bloodthirsty and brutal, and would actively attack.
