Novel Bin Chapter 96: Surging Bloodline Power, [Mastery: All Soldiers]
[Your physical body is equivalent to 10 divine essence fragments and can contain corresponding law power.]
[You have obtained the Divine Role: Human Race.]
[Divine Role: Human Race]
[Minimum effect to utilize this Divine Role: Achieve Demi-God level.]
[Tip: You can become a deity by following your unique path through this divine office and with sufficient divine power and laws.]
[Congratulations, player Sterl, you are now poised for godhood.]
[May you ultimately reach the realm of Transcendence on your journey.]
"Huh?"
One second, Sterl was still feeling a lingering sense of fear. The next second, his expression had completely changed, and he could not help but smile.
"Is this for real? Am I about to take off?" He felt a bit dizzy. Although he didn\'t know exactly how valuable a physical body equivalent to 10 divine essence fragments was, he could be sure that just one divine essence fragment was already insanely valuable. Now it had increased tenfold...
He didn\'t even know how to describe it. He even wondered how long it would take and how vast a map he would need to traverse to gather 10 divine essence fragments on his own.
But this wasn\'t even the grand prize. There was also a [Divine Role]??
What exactly did this do??
Although Sterl was somewhat confused, after reading the description following the Divine Role, he roughly understood that with this role. Once he ascended to the Demi-God realm, one of the major hurdles to becoming a god would be significantly reduced.
In fact, if obtaining divine power and law power wasn\'t extremely difficult, Sterl might have already cleared the only real obstacle to becoming a god!
Of course, this was all just his speculation.
"No way..."
"Is this even real?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his luck was simply too overwhelming.
Not even at the second class yet, and the path to godhood was already laid out for him??
As for the fear and chaos from almost being possessed earlier, it had long vanished...
After a considerable effort, Sterl finally managed to calm himself down from his excitement.
He activated his arcane skill and began to cultivate.
Sterl planned to first refine the accumulated eleven levels of experience (8 levels from mission rewards and 3 levels from over-level challenges). Through his arcane skill cultivation, he smoothly sensed the formation of planets made from the convergence of spiritual energy and the energy of the real world.
However... to Sterl\'s surprise, these planets, which originally floated randomly in his mental space, surrounding the giant light band symbolizing Sterl\'s will, began to show signs of life.
Some planets at a suitable distance from the light band started to sprout plants, mountains, and rivers, and eventually, the tiny shadows of humans appeared.
They multiplied and thrived, their numbers continuously growing. When Sterl cast his gaze upon these planets, he noticed that the human shadows seemed to sense something and began to worship him.
Sterl shuddered and snapped out of his meditative state.
A special prompt lit up before his eyes.
[Your class, Star of Dawn, has reacted uniquely with your Divine Role: Human Race and the arcane skill: Star Soul Rotation.]
[Currently, your mental domain will simulate an unnamed human race, which will provide you with faith power.]
-[Warning: Your rank is below Demi-God and cannot utilize faith power.]
Sterl: "I have no idea what\'s happening, but surprises are everywhere for the strong…"
Although Sterl usually came across as a bit of a bumpkin, he now displayed a level of insight different from other players in [Transcendence].
Sterl knew very well how humanity evolved on Earth before he crossed over. Part of the reason was Earth\'s optimal position, benefiting from the sun\'s light and heat, which gave birth to life.
His mental domain, influenced by his class, also met the conditions for life to emerge. But the mental domain was essentially a phantom realm, not capable of true physical evolution like the real world. It wasn\'t until Sterl obtained the Divine Role: Human Race that a qualitative change occurred.
"Now I\'ve got all these massive boosts, but I have to wait until the Demi-God realm to use them." Sterl looked at his experience bar. He had originally thought he was leveling up quickly, but now it didn\'t seem fast enough!
After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to focus on leveling up and improving his arcane skill proficiency. He\'d allocate points to arcane skills later. He had already mastered the strategy of grinding hidden quests for a ton of experience.
Heading into The Netherworld would yield massive experience gains, whereas blood power was more precious, and arcane skill proficiency was harder to increase...
So, he\'d suffer a small loss for a bigger gain.
Sterl made a small plan: for every 10 levels, he would allocate points to his arcane skill once.
He resumed his cultivation.
With the excitement of acquiring what seemed to be incredibly powerful but unusable faith power, it took Sterl a long time to calm down and re-enter a meditative state.
Then, his level skyrocketed.
The energy in his experience bar was rapidly consumed.
Sterl\'s aura continuously broke through new thresholds.
Level 42, Level 43, Level 44…
With the experience of eleven levels, he ultimately leveled up 13 times, reaching Level 54 in one fell swoop!
When Sterl finally opened his eyes, he couldn\'t help but feel a bit smug. From his class change until now, only a few months had passed. Many players at Level 50 struggled to level up even once or twice.
Sterl, however, had rocketed up over 30 levels!
"Excellent, next time I head to The Netherworld, it should take just a bit of effort to start my second class quest."
He admired his Level 54 status for a few seconds, feeling very pleased.
After waiting a few minutes, Sterl\'s daily skill point allocation reset. He decisively chose a skill on his panel to enhance.
First was [Mastery: Proficiency in Multiple Martial Arts]. Sterl spent four days and allocated points four times to max it out.
During this process, he felt an immense amount of knowledge about various weapons flow into his mind.
Finally, he gained a new ability.
[Mastery: All Soldiers]
[Description: Through the honing of this Mastery, you will automatically understand how to wield all weapons in the world.]
[Effect: After cultivating this art, any weapon you touch will automatically be considered as mastered by you at a proficiency level.]
When the proficiency of this Mastery reaches \'Mastered,\' you will gain the following skill: [All Soldiers (Passive ability: Any weapon you hold will automatically increase in quality, enhancing attributes such as sharpness and cutting power.)]
When the proficiency of this Mastery reaches \'Proficient,\' you will gain the following skill: [Instant (Upon activating this skill, your next attack/skill power will increase by 80%)]
[Skill proficiency level is the same as the Mastery proficiency level.]
[Learning requirements: ???]
[Difficulty of cultivation: Extremely difficult]
"Awesome!" Sterl gave a concise one-word evaluation. Originally, [Proficiency in Multiple Martial Arts] merely ensured he had no obvious weaknesses in battle and could wield any weapon competently.
But now, [Mastery: All Soldiers] had transformed this quantitative change into a qualitative leap. The difference between having a proficient foundational skill and merely being able to use a weapon competently was enormous!
A proficient foundational skill was enough to allow a player to be selectively equipped with a weapon that maximizes their strengths.
For instance, a player with staff proficiency could achieve faster casting speeds when wielding a staff. Meanwhile, a player with sword proficiency could experience increased power when using sword techniques and equipping blade-type weapons...
In [Transcendence], the rule for all strong players in weapon selection is to choose based on the combination of class, skills, and proficiency skills!
This latest evolution in Sterl\'s Mastery allowed him to enjoy proficiency-level bonuses with any weapon!
Moreover, Sterl\'s class skill, [Star Blade], had the unique feature of transforming into any type of weapon.
He could transform the Star Blade into a staff to gain a speed boost when casting spells. During a [Bloody Rush], he could switch the weapon to a dagger to extend the duration of speed-related skills. When using [Star Point Finger], he could convert the Star Blade into a knuckle duster, enhancing its power.
For [Celestial Stars], Sterl could summon stars faster using a staff or use a [Divination Weapon] to gain additional effects for star-related skills.
Especially with the foundational skill of [Divination Weapon], which was extremely rare, it\'s something Earth humans didn\'t even have the materials to study. Theoretically, Sterl wouldn\'t be able to elevate it to proficiency, let alone mastery!
The value of [Mastery: All Soldiers] was apparent!
Infinite transformations at Sterl\'s whim! The enhancement effects could apply across various combat scenarios.
As for the two additional skills gained after allocating points, Sterl was very pleased.
[Instant] saw its power increase from 50% to 80%, and the other skill, which only required a \'Mastered\' proficiency level to learn, had an even more domineering effect: directly upgrading the weapon\'s quality by one tier.
