Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Soul Freeze, Indestructible Dharma Body! An Unprecedented Sense of Security!
Percentage vulnerability + percentage damage!
This mechanism is somewhat special and also quite powerful.
Though it requires a flame attribute ice-breaking to trigger, it’s actually not difficult for other mages to activate.
Because even for an ice attribute mage, just learning a basic Fireball Technique can achieve the ice-breaking.
It deals damage directly based on the maximum life value. For monsters with extremely high health but no frost resistance, the kill speed is very fast.
It can even be much quicker than forcibly dealing damage with flame magic skills.
Then comes the Tier Seven ice magic.
It is also very different from the fire and wind attributes.
The Tier Seven magic skills of the fire and wind attributes have large areas and very strong effects.
But surprisingly, the Tier Seven ice magic is a single-target spell.
[Soul Freeze]
[Type: Active Skill]
[Level: Tier Seven]
[System: Ice Attribute]
[Cost: 28,000 Mana]
[Chanting Time: 15 seconds]
[Cooldown Time: 30 minutes]
[Effect: Channel terrifying cold, imprison the target’s soul in eternal ice, making them unable to act or use skills, and clear all buffs on the target, duration is unlimited.]
[Targets sealed in ice are immune to all damage except flame damage.]
[When affected by Tier Six or above flame skills, the ice will melt and break.]
[Note: Soul-binding, frozen for eternity.]
Another skill with no direct damage.
But it extends control duration from limited to unlimited.
As long as it’s not broken by flames, it’s perpetual control!
Lin Yi is very satisfied.
Because he currently mastered exactly three magic specializations.
He is not lacking in damage at all.
What he lacks is control skills.
Now the ice attribute has completely filled this gap.
After finishing with the ice attribute, Lin Yi glanced at the other passive skill he gained after this successful second class change.
[Mana Shield]
[Type: Passive Skill]
[Level: Basic]
[System: General System]
[Effect: When you take damage, 10% of the damage is absorbed by your mana.]
A fairly decent survival skill.
For mages whose mana value far exceeds their life value, this skill can be considered a 10% universal damage reduction.
Lin Yi began adding skill points.
After more than ten minutes.
The survival skill became as good as new.
[Indestructible Dharma Body]
[Type: Passive Skill]
[Level: Tier Seven]
[System: General System]
[Effect 1: When you take damage, 40% of the damage is absorbed by your mana.]
[Effect 2: When you suffer elemental damage, damage reduction is further enhanced according to your affinity with that element, with a minimum of 10% and a maximum of 100% damage reduction.]
[Current Elemental Damage Reduction:]
[Flame: 80%]
[Ice: 80%]
[Storm: 80%]
[Effect 3: When you take lethal damage that would reduce your life value to zero, that damage is fully absorbed by your mana.]
[After this effect triggers, your mana drops to zero and your life value reduces to 1 point.]
[This effect can only trigger once every 30 days, current remaining uses: 1]
So strong!
Not only does it have a high damage reduction effect, it even gives Lin Yi a chance to cheat death!
This skill gives Lin Yi a full sense of security.
Truth be told, when facing a mutated death knight boss at Level 200 before, Lin Yi did feel a bit of pressure.
After all, he is not truly invincible.
Even though he has an output capability far beyond his current class change level.
His survival capability had always been weak...
If he hadn’t finished chanting Thousand Mist Break before unleashing Undead Sky-breaking Slash in Rivendell,
the whirlwind produced by his Tier Five Gale Wings wouldn’t have been able to block that strike.
He might have been overturned.
Now if Lin Yi encounters a similar situation, or a more intense pressure, he won’t panic as much.
Now not only has his survival capability risen, he also has control ability.
Even if he encounters an enemy he can’t kill instantly, he should still be able to escape.
With the two new skills of the second class change added.
Lin Yi still has over 500,000 skill points remaining.
It’s more than enough to upgrade one of the Tier Seven skills to Tier Eight.
Indeed, it’s about time to choose one to upgrade.
However, Lin Yi plans to deliberate on which one specifically.
With this thought, Lin Yi has already walked into Jiangcheng Second High School.
As he walked up the teaching building, Lin Yi gradually noticed something was wrong.
Where is everyone?
Why isn’t there a single person around?
In the past, even though the entire third-year students went through occupational awakening, students would occasionally return to school to consult teachers on questions about leveling or skills.
Schools even have official activities where teachers lead students for leveling practice.
It shouldn’t be possible for all the students and teachers to be missing, should it?
With questions in mind, Lin Yi took a trip to the staff building.
He knocked on the door of the principal’s office.
"Come in."
A hoarse voice came from inside.
Lin Yi pushed the door open and walked in.
The principal of Second High School is named Zuo Qian, the same person who presided over the entire third-year occupational change ceremony before.
Seeing Lin Yi at this moment, the old principal showed a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"Student Lin Yi, you’ve finally come out of the setback!"
"I’m so relieved!"
"You’ve always been my favorite student, I really didn’t want to see you fall into decline!"
Zuo Qian looked Lin Yi up and down.
He could sense that the young man before him seemed to have grown much stronger.
He himself was also a mage.
Mages have a certain indescribable psychic connection with each other.
He could sense that during this past half a month, Lin Yi definitely hasn’t been negligent!
With this assurance, he felt relieved.
Lin Yi didn’t explain anything, he directly asked: "Mr. Zuo, I heard that my homeroom teacher is looking for me with urgency, and said it’s related to my future. What is it about?"
Zuo Qian took off his reading glasses, stood up, and then assumed a serious expression.
"It does concern your future."
"Let’s talk while we walk!"
Immediately after, Zuo Qian pulled Lin Yi out of his office.
Afterwards, Lin Yi heard an incredibly melodious flute sound, and the next moment, an unknown hoofed beast, with somewhat ragged fur and looking a bit shabby, appeared.
This hoofed beast had deer antlers, but its face resembled that of a cow, and its four hooves looked more like a horse’s.
Simply put, it was an anomaly.
And on both sides of its ribs, it had double wings with variegated feathers.
Being a third-class professional, Mr. Zuo could learn riding skills and have a mount space.
So this was obviously his mount.
"Get on, what are you standing around for!"
Lin Yi swung his leg over and placed his foot on the stirrup at the rear of the anomaly, then sat up.
The next moment, under Zuo Qian’s control, the anomaly flapped its wings and started flying, wheezing and gasping for air.
Lin Yi: "..."
The anomaly was gasping as if it was about to die any second.
Not to mention its flying speed wasn’t much different from an electric scooter...
"Cough, cough, Xiaohua is old, when it was young, it flew really fast."
"Don’t mind these details, let’s focus on our business."
"In short, early this morning, an unknown abyssal aura erupted in the leveling zone of Jiangcheng’s eastern suburb, and a timed trial dungeon appeared, which only mages can enter."
"So I had each class’s teacher notify all the students who successfully changed their class to mage, which includes you of course."
