Chapter 184: A Special Job Transition



After hearing Rain's words, Master Gunther didn't respond immediately. Instead, he stared at Rain for a while, then nodded and said, "Good!"

Upon hearing Master Gunther's agreement, the others fell silent and stopped their whispering.

"Rain, come with me." Master Gunther led Rain to a secluded spot away from the others.

The onlookers watched with envy as Rain and Master Gunther walked away.

They could guess that the master was probably going to teach Rain a secret technique or some hidden knowledge.

However, they didn't even have the privilege to listen in.

That's why Master Gunther had taken Rain away from the group.

"But you're different! You have the potential to go further, so I want you to achieve Belief Integration and fully control your Prime Force."

(To be continued in the next chapter)



When faced with the Sea Dragon, whose strength rivaled that of a Great Knight, Rain knew that even with his Extraordinary Trait 'Iron Skin Level 3', a direct hit would leave him severely injured if not dead. In the blink of an eye, Rain felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, something he had never experienced before.

Rain immediately searched his bag and started devouring the dried fish jerky. After consuming seventeen pieces, he finally felt a sense of fullness in his stomach.

"But since you've chosen to challenge the Coastal Sea Dragon in three days, I think it's necessary to tell you this now."

"The true meaning of the Faith Trial is to face life and death, forcing Belief Integration and complete control of the Prime Force, thus finding life in death."

Rain leaped into the sea.

"Bang!"

The wind made their outer garments flutter as they stood on the shore. "Rain, I was actually planning to tell you this after some time."

But Rain was different; he had a 'death wish'!

By then, he might have already accumulated enough Skill Points.

Lastly, Rain touched the beautiful giant leaf in his pocket, the Magic Scroll 'Life Bloom' gifted by the lovely lady.

With these means at his disposal, Rain felt that no one else could claim to be more suited for a 'Desperate Counterattack' than him.

"Moo!"

"Yes! Don't feel discouraged. Everyone has different talents. Believe in yourself. Didn't the Master just say that we should believe in ourselves?" Another young man waved his clenched fist, his face turning red as if encouraging himself.

"Huh?" Basque stared with wide eyes, momentarily stunned.

"Just ahead, beneath that island, is the lair of a Coastal Sea Dragon," Basque explained to Rain as he rowed. "This Sea Dragon hasn't dared to approach the coast since Master Gunther arrived, which has brought great joy to the residents of Landonia Town."

"Experiencing the brink of life and death is indeed a catalyst for growth, but the purpose is to make you feel it, not to actually have you seek death!"

Of course, Rain understood that this was just an illusion caused by his rapid increase in strength.

Rain couldn't immediately understand why he had awakened the Sea Dragon.

It was only natural! He had been leveling up the Bear King Breath all the way to Level 9; it would be unbelievable if it wasn't powerful!

But this aspect required being on the brink of life and death to achieve.

Instantly, Rain was struck by a Gigapower and flew seven or eight meters away. He flipped in midair to reduce the impact and landed steadily.

A two-year-old memory of cultivating the Bear King Breath began to flood Rain's mind, and the Prime Force, which had been as thin as a toothpick, swiftly thickened to the size of a chopstick! "The feeling of getting stronger is amazing!" Rain savored the surging power within him.

[Congratulations! Your Agility Attribute has been enhanced!]



These scattered memories of cultivating the breathing technique flashed through Rain's mind like slides, quickly integrating into his muscle and tendon memories.

However, Rain's original intention was to engage in a good fight with the Sea Dragon, whether it was awake or asleep.

Hiss! Enhancing attributes with Skill Points was indeed powerful!

"Although you only have three days left, you should still solidify your new breathing technique. Moreover, for your current state, the foundational attributes of your body, such as Strength and Speed, still play a significant role. Don't neglect your cultivation."

These words startled Rain.

"Yes, that should be it."

"Limit Break!"

Rain surveyed his surroundings and found no cover to hide his tracks. His only option was to try sneaking past quietly.

Rain's goal was to achieve 100% control over his Prime Force, as the Master had said it would determine his future path, even though he didn't yet understand what 'Will's Radiance' represented.

The Sea Dragon, which hadn't initially taken Rain seriously, began to move when it saw Rain's sudden growth and the faint sense of threat he now exuded.

"The gap is indeed discouraging."

The clash of beak and sword produced a metallic sound! Rain was struck so hard that half of his body was embedded in the sand, unable to move.

"If I can add just a little more..."

"Power Surge!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The third strike landed!

Most of the young people present couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Rain quickly caught up with the Sea Dragon.

The success rate of controlling the Prime Force had increased from less than 50% to nearly 60%.

Rain crossed his arms and stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"Pfft!"

No wonder Master Gunther said that the last training exercise was not mandatory for many people.

Rain raised his sword to block!

"This Coastal Plesiosaur would occasionally raid Landonia Town, causing little casualties but enough to create panic, which was a headache for my father."

The next second, its long neck bent backward like a drawn bow.

After both of them boarded the boat, Basque started rowing towards the southwest.

Suddenly, Rain's eyes widened as he felt a 'boom' sound from within his body, and he seemed to have broken through some kind of limit.

"But should I continue to allocate skill points or stop here?"

Fortunately, Rain soon realized that Master Gunther could only judge that his aura was stable and had increased to some extent, but he couldn't tell the exact amount of growth.

Additionally, Rain noticed a long sword mark on the monster's body. If he wasn't mistaken, this should be left by Master Gunther! However, judging from the power of the sword mark, it seemed that Master Gunther could easily defeat this Plesiosaur, so the reason for leaving it alive was probably for training purposes.

Regardless, the power was formidable!

"But you must have doubts because I haven't explained why we should strive for complete mastery of Prime Force. In fact, I suggest most people abandon the Life and Death Trial and go back to slowly improve."

After this period of time, Rain had understood that this was a magic scroll for healing injuries.

"Will's Radiance?" Rain asked with confusion.

After all, the matter of casting a long-range attack magic spell every second was still a long way off.

As expected, after trying it out, the success rate of success was significantly higher.

Due to the continuous killing of Coastal Fury over the past seven days, Rain's Knight class level was already close to breaking point, and the experience gained from killing the Coastal Plesiosaur further boosted his experience points.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, the Plesiosaur's neck lunged forward, and its sharp beak darted towards Rain like lightning! Rain hastily blocked the attack with his greatsword, but to his surprise, the Coastal Plesiosaur's ultimate move was a triple strike! The second strike was blocked by the greatsword!

Or perhaps it's better to allocate skill points again after some time.

"It's been a long time since I last saw one!" Rain exclaimed.

At this moment, Rain felt his body becoming stronger, with his muscles and tendons noticeably more robust. The Prime Force within him was rapidly intensifying, and soon, it thickened by a full circle, from a strand as thin as three or four chopsticks to one as thick as a toothpick. This enhancement was visible to the naked eye! "Allocating skill points is so powerful!"

By allocating skill points, Rain could achieve the effect of years of practicing a new breath technique. If he didn't dare to try it under such favorable conditions, he might as well give up on the path of a Knight.

Rain nodded.

If one didn't strive for belief integration and complete mobilization of Prime Force, many people could return and slowly improve over several years, eventually reaching a success rate of around 90%.

"Because for the vast majority, mobilizing Prime Force to above 90% is already sufficient for a lifetime of use." Master Gunther turned to Rain and said.

Rain slashed at the attacking Plesiosaur's head, no longer defending but unleashing a powerful strike! With Prime Force fully unleashed, the greatsword emitted a faint glow, and in an instant, the sword's tip seemed to extend slightly. Though nothing tangible, Rain felt as if the sword in his hand could cut through anything! Was this invisible power a sword aura? Or was it sword radiance?

As the remaining skill points on the attribute panel decreased from 3 to 2, Bear King Breath suddenly surged to lv9 (1/10000). A flood of cultivation memories about Bear King Breath rushed into Rain's mind, and the Prime Force within him, originally as thick as a chopstick, swiftly thickened to the size of a toothpick.

At this moment, Rain was surprised to see the system prompt flashing again:

Although the Plesiosaur appeared bloated, its speed was incredibly fast.

Rain discovered that even without an increase, his Constitution had reached 20 points, and his Strength had increased from 19 to 20 points, crossing the 20-point threshold for both attributes.

"Huh!"

Rain, with a delighted expression, attempted to guide the Prime Force again.

"Clang!!!"

"Follow me!" Master Gunther, after expressing his amazement, led Rain towards a small boat on the shore.

The others nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Rain's mind was free of distractions, his eyes fixed on the approaching Plesiosaur. With a roar, he attacked!

"I have faith in him!" Master Gunther smiled and said, then slowly walked into the water.

Thus, Rain, with his decision made, didn't hesitate to allocate skill points again.

When Rain raised Bear King Breath to lv6, the Prime Force's strength increased significantly, from a thin strand to a thicker one.

Therefore, the Knight (Extraordinary) level smoothly increased, reaching Knight (Extraordinary) lv5 (218/2000)! The level-up rewarded Rain with one skill point and one attribute point, bringing his remaining skill points back to one and his remaining attribute points to three.

Occupation: Wizard (Extraordinary) lv4 (345/1000) / Knight (Extraordinary) lv4 (866/1000) / Beastmaster (Extraordinary) lv5 (644/2000) / Armorer lv1 (17/100)



At this moment, Rain felt a surge of intense hunger within him.

After all, the consecutive allocation of skill points had led to an exaggerated increase in his strength.

(End of Translation)

1. Rain thought to himself.

2. 【Congratulations! Your Agility attribute has been enhanced!】

3. 【The prerequisites for the Extraordinary Swordsman job transition are: 1. Sword's Belief; 2. Prime Force control at 100%; 3. Any Extraordinary Sword Technique at level 6 or higher; 4. Any Breath Technique at level 6 or higher; 5. Strength, Agility, and Constitution at 12 points or higher. All conditions have been met!】

4. Rain's continuous attribute point allocation significantly increased his overall Prime Force.

5. "Gigapower Level 3"

6. The creature was around 15 meters long, with thick scales the size of a palm covering its body. Its most distinctive features were its long, snake-like neck and turtle-like body, giving it the appearance of a snake with a shell on its back!

7. Soon, the boat slowly approached the island, and the three of them jumped off.

8. Master Gunther led Rain to a slightly elevated reef, standing tall facing the vast blue ocean.

9. However, a sudden realization struck Rain. "Master, is the entrance underwater?"

10. Rain, feeling confused, checked his attribute panel.

11. "Yes!"

12. A success rate of 60%? Rain pondered this.

13. A fountain of blood, as thick as a water column, gushed out, and the swordfish's head, split in two, finally collapsed!

14. Instantly, a new cultivation memory about a Breath Technique was imprinted in Rain's mind.

15. Rain, delighted, attempted to manipulate his Prime Force again.

16. A successful ambush would be ideal, but if not, it was no big deal! Rain focused, holding his breath as he slowly approached the cave from the water.

17. It seemed that Rain's success rate in manipulating his Prime Force had increased significantly, reaching around 80%.

18. Master Gunther smiled and nodded approvingly at Rain. "Indeed, it's underwater."

19. The control aspect had improved as well. Previously, it took three or four attempts to successfully summon it, with a success rate of less than one-third, but now it was nearly one-half.

20. Rain's defensive stance had been disrupted by the swordfish's consecutive attacks. Although he still held the Radiant Greatsword in a blocking position, his defense had significantly weakened.

21. Rain glanced at the remaining skill points on his attribute panel and decided to allocate another point.

22. After a while, the buzz-cut youth, Frode, snapped out of his daze and spoke in a deep voice, "Let's go! We should all focus on our cultivation."

23. This was a small boat, around 3-4 meters long, resembling a canoe. It had a raised end with a paddle, and Basque was already waiting on it, waving at Master Gunther and Rain.

24. At this moment, two consecutive system prompts appeared: 【Congratulations! Your Strength attribute has been enhanced!】

25. Basque, standing nearby, looked worried. "Master, is Rain really capable? That Coastal Plesiosaur is as strong as a Great Knight!"

26. Alright!

27. After a while, Rain gritted his teeth and allocated another point to the new Breath Technique! With the skill points on his attribute panel decreasing from 4 to 3, Bear King Breath reached level 8 (1/7000), becoming Rain's highest-leveled skill.

28. The third day passed quickly. Early in the morning, Master Gunther looked at Rain, and his pupils constricted. He looked at Rain with a slightly surprised expression, repeatedly examining him.

29. Master Gunther turned his head, looking at Basque with a puzzled expression, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

30. Rain looked around, puzzled. There were only reefs, no caves or hiding places in sight.

31. "The insight gained from life-and-death trials is essential for Belief Integration and complete mastery of Prime Force."

32. With the skill points on his attribute panel decreasing from 5 to 4, Bear King Breath jumped from level 6 to level 7 (1/5000).

33. After all, this meat was from Coastal Fury, comparable to the meat of a Ferocious Beast, and it was very filling.

34. The Coastal Plesiosaur stared in disbelief as its incredibly hard beak was split in half, and it could see its other eye!

35. After all, Rain was about to challenge the Coastal Plesiosaur!

36. However, this intense sense of crisis also made Rain's mind highly focused!

37. There was no escape! Should he trust the sword in his hand, as Master Gunther had said?

38. After being hit twice, the Coastal Plesiosaur seemed to become more aggressive. Its eyes, small compared to its body, glared at Rain with malice.

39. "Prime Force doesn't come from nothing; it originates from your physical body." Master Gunther reminded Rain.

40. Rain didn't know that in the eyes of these outstanding young people, he was already considered a genius.

41. However, this newly acquired Prime Force didn't come from nothing; it was derived from Rain's own body, which was now experiencing significant exhaustion.

42. Additionally, the Coastal Plesiosaur's limbs were flattened like paddles, and its head, only the size of a washbasin, had dense sharp teeth and a hard beak.

43. Moreover, Rain could quickly restore his physical strength through attribute point allocation, a skill comparable to a miracle.

44. However, Agility remained the lowest. "Before the enhancement, Agility was probably at 17 points, so it was affected by the increase in Bear King Breath?" Rain thought.

45. Master Gunther circled Rain and said, "Such a rare talent for knighthood. Your new Breath Technique has stabilized so quickly."

46. 【You have experienced combat, and your Extraordinary Knight experience has increased by 322.】

47. "Because it's related to the generation of Will Radiance!"

48. "It's also possible that the new Bear King Breath doesn't have the same 'weakness' as the previous Bear Claw Breath, which focused more on Strength and Constitution. Instead, it balances all three attributes."

49. "The physical enhancement caused by the significant improvement in Breath Technique?"

50. So, even if he was severely injured in battle, he still had a chance to turn the tables.

"What's the point of feeling it before you die?"

What concerned Rain the most was the success rate of Prime Force manipulation, which had increased to over 90%, just a hair's breadth away from Belief Integration.

"Sigh! That's true, but seeing Rain like this is really frustrating!" said the young man named Arturo with a sigh.

Hearing this, Rain frowned slightly and nodded. He had the same doubt just now.

Rain glanced at his Attribute Panel, and with the previous two points, that was a total of five Attribute points! Name: Rain Karan

At this moment, three consecutive system prompts suddenly appeared: [Congratulations! Your Physique Attribute has increased!]



When Rain opened his eyes again, it was as if he had undergone a year-long Bear King Breath cultivation.

"But logically, the first attribute to increase should be Physique, right? After all, Bear King Breath is the top priority for Physique enhancement. How come Agility increased?"

"Compared to others, you've saved a year's worth of hard cultivation in one go!"

Not enough? Kidding, Master Gunther said that to achieve 100% manipulation of Prime Force, one must experience life and death! In other words, for those who are determined to continue, this is a necessary choice, as it relates to what comes after.

After walking a few steps, the three of them arrived at the bottom of a cliff full of boulders. At this point, Master Gunther stopped and said, "The Sea Dragon is right here."

It felt like the bowstring of a bow being pulled to its limit, then pulled again, and the bowstring suddenly snapped!

"Now it's an 80% probability!"

Rain nodded. He looked up and saw that in the distance, there were indeed several islands lined up in a row, and following the direction that Basque pointed, it should be the slightly larger island in the middle.

So, Rain added another point.

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Master," Rain nodded.

The right forelimb, as large as a palm tree leaf, fell directly onto the beach, and blood splattered from the wound!

"Pfft!"

[Congratulations, your Extraordinary Swordsman profession level has increased!]



"You're about to face a Coastal Plesiosaur comparable to a Great Knight, so don't take it lightly."

Physique: 22

Strength: 21

Agility: 19

Spirit: 25

Remaining Attribute Points: 2

Remaining Skill Points: 2

Feeling the surging power within him, Rain felt that he could easily cut down the small Sea Dragon with a single swing of his hand.

[Congratulations! Your Strength Attribute has increased!]



Back in the stone house, Rain recalled the scene of adding points to his new breathing technique underwater.

Master Gunther didn't explain further, he only said, "You'll understand later!"

Rain was helpless with Master Gunther's habit of only giving half-explanations and acting like a 'riddle man'.

So, spending a few years to slowly reach perfection wasn't an option for Rain.

With the power of Prime Force, Rain's sword directly sliced off the right forelimb of the Coastal Plesiosaur.

Rain, who had just barely made it to the shore, suddenly burst into action, brandishing the greatsword in his hand and charging towards the Coastal Plesiosaur.

He stared intently and saw that the tail of the Sea Dragon, which had just been flailing around, suddenly shattered into seven or eight palm-sized thick scales.

The Sea Dragon let out a miserable cry, but in an instant, Rain's lv3 Danger Sense alarm bells rang loudly, and a thick snake-like black shadow flashed towards Rain.

The previously started body strengthening had become even more intense, and the originally thin muscle fibers began to thicken and strengthen, connecting more strongly with Rain's skeletal and muscle fibers.

At this moment, system prompts appeared like a screen refresh: [Your Giant Bear Sword Technique skill has increased, experience +1452]



"Follow this path, and believe in yourself!"

"Finally, try to maximize the success rate of Prime Force manipulation, making the 'last layer of window paper' as thin as possible, so that the breakthrough will be easier and faster," Rain thought to himself.

Fortunately, over the past seven days, Rain had killed a large number of Mad Fish, and Basque had already prepared them as grilled fish jerky, with some stored in the stone house and others drying in the sun.

Rain had worried for nothing. At this moment, Rain had found the entrance to the underwater cave. Through a sparse U-shaped waterway filled with Tough Seagrass, Rain soon discovered that the cave was a hidden gem! He saw a huge creature lying on a beach inside the cave, sleeping soundly.

"At least you've seen the gap between yourself and a genius, right? Now you have more reasons to work harder!" said the young man named Doug with a determined look.

Several Swordfish swimming near the shoal seemed to have noticed Rain's presence and swam towards him, quickly circling around him. The Coastal Plesiosaur, which had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened its egg-sized eyes and looked towards Rain! Instantly, a majestic aura emanated from the Coastal Plesiosaur.

"I have to keep an eye on the cave, it's a training exercise with final safety measures in place. But I can't tell them in advance, otherwise this 'Faith Trial' would lose its meaning."

[Great Swordsman Prerequisites met. Do you wish to transition to Great Swordsman?]



[Warning: After transitioning to Great Swordsman, your Spirit will gradually solidify, conflicting with the active Spirit requirements of your current Wizard Apprentice profession.]



[This process is irreversible, please decide carefully!]



Wow! This was the first time Rain had seen a 'Warning' prompt from the system.

This made Rain ponder deeply!
