The first half of the night covers the professional roles and skills of native realm travelers, encompassing the extraordinary and sage stages, but not the master stage. Zhang Yuanqing already knows the native realm traveler roles well; after a brief glance, he directly moves on to overseas roles.
Passive skills: Paralysis, Unyielding, and Energy Charging.
[Enforcer Knight (The Saint): Active skills: Lightning Blade, Thunder Domain, Master of Thunder. Passive skills: Rapid Energy Charging, Enforcer.] A very strong profession—capable of both combat prowess and exceptional endurance, boasting unparalleled destructive power. The skills of the Thunder Mage are straightforward and intuitive; their effects are clearly evident from their names. Among the Enforcer Knight's skills, Master of Thunder is a prerequisite for activating Thunder Domain. Only when the Master of Thunder state is active can Thunder Domain be deployed, which delivers devastating damage at the cost of rapidly depleting the knight's spiritual energy. However, Rapid Energy Charging allows the knight to absorb ambient electrical charges from the natural world, replenishing his energy and preventing him from becoming weakened during the use of Thunder Domain. Nevertheless, the Enforcer Knight's true core strength lies in his passive skill—Enforcer. —When faced with criminal incidents or offenders, the Enforcer Knight experiences a substantial enhancement in all his abilities, as if empowered by a divine force.
[Love and Desire (The Transcendent): Active skill: Claim.]
Passive skills: charm, beauty, allure, flattery.
[Queen (Saint): Active skills: enchantment, seduction, petrification. Passive skills: obsession, master of intimacy.]
Zhang Yuanqing felt a surge of enthusiasm, thinking this was precisely his interest. He focused intently on the notes at the end of the career description. The love-oriented careers had few offensive skills, with only one—petrification—offering actual attack power. The effectiveness of petrification increased the more deeply the character was captivated by the target's beauty and physical presence. At the Transcendent stage, love-oriented careers possessed only one active skill: the renowned "allure," which requires physical intimacy to be activated. Among their passive skills, charm and beauty represent temperament and physical appeal, respectively. Every love-oriented career boasts exceptional charm, with every expression and gesture profoundly attractive to the opposite sex, standing out among many beautiful individuals.
Beauty enables their figures to achieve perfection, reaching the golden ratio, keeps their skin in optimal condition, ensures a fresh, fragrant breath, and makes them sweat with a pleasant aroma—overall, transforming them into little fairies, flawless in every way.
The longer the passionate lover maintains a romantic relationship with their beloved, the more deeply they become enchanted by their physical presence.
Sexual mastery expert: In terms of intimate techniques, the passionate lover possesses an exceptional talent and skill—distinct from other women, truly a different being altogether.
Now it finally makes sense why the Sovereign is so utterly captivated by the passionate lover—Zhang Yuanqing murmured his internal thoughts.
He continued reading:
[Sea Nymph (Exalted Stage): Active Skills: Rider, Song of the Sea Nymph. Passive Skill: Body of the Sea Nymph.]
[Sea Monster (Saint Stage): Active Skills: Sea Monster, Dilution. Passive Skill: The Calamity of the Sea.]
The Sea Nymph's skills are relatively straightforward and rank toward the lower end among the lawful professions. Their combat capabilities on land primarily revolve around "Rider," enabling them to summon horses for battle. These horses possess abilities in charging, sacrificing themselves, and swift movement.
Additionally, they have a mesmerizing singing talent, which is very similar to that of the merfolk.
Moreover, the notes mention that Sea Nymphs all possess exceptionally high beauty.
"Could the jellyfish people be a hybrid of sea monsters and water spirits?" Zhang Yuanqing recalled the jellyfish people from Qin Feng Academy. The sea spirit profession shares some abilities with water spirits, particularly in water control, though these abilities only hold true until the Saint level, after which water spirits gradually transform into plague-dealing entities. In contrast, sea spirits continue to enhance their capabilities in aquatic combat; while they perform averagely on land, they become exceptionally terrifying and formidable once they enter the ocean.
[Transcendent (Supernatural Stage): Active Skills: Stealth, Theft, Treasure Hunting. Passive Skills: Agility, Concealment, Keen Mind.]
[Merchant (Saint Stage): Active Skills: Trade, Transportation, Combat. Passive Skills: Business Acumen.]
The active skills at the Supernatural stage are self-explanatory, with the exception of "Concealment," which is particularly interesting—it does not mean invisibility, but rather continuously reduces the entity's presence and detectability.
This reminded Zhang Yuanqing of Mr. Bill's once-promoted "Garbage Collector's Hat," said to enable women to conceive, yet make them forget the identity of their child's father—more astonishing than mere invisibility. At first glance, the teleportation skill seemed the most impressive, but after reading the details, Zhang Yuanqing realized just how terrifying the "trade" skill truly was. Every sage is a shrewd merchant, using words to subtly persuade you into transactions, often resulting in you exchanging your finest items for mere trash. According to the description in the notes, once reaching the Sovereign Realm, the trade skill evolves into a mandatory one—forcing you to trade away your items and abilities for inferior ones. By the time one reaches the Half-Deity stage, even abstract concepts such as breathing, thinking, touch, and vision can be traded away. "Hmm, this seems rather reminiscent of Xiao Doushi's abilities, doesn't it?" Zhang Yuanqing was momentarily struck. He thought to himself: My son, who's just a clumsy, crawling waste, actually possesses something so similar?
Of course, at Xiao Doubi's current level, he is still not capable of exchanging skills or intentions—only the more superficial aspects, such as sight, hearing, and touch.
[Knight (Transcendent Stage): Active Skills: Covenant, Oath, Charge, Holy Strike. Passive Skills: Courage of Heart, Knightly Body.]
[Judge (Sage Stage): Lawmaking; Judgment. Passive Skill: Justice.]
Covenant and Oath have already been experienced by Zhang Yuanqing. Charge and Holy Strike, as the names suggest, are clearly offensive skills.
Courage of Heart enhances one's willpower, while Knightly Body is similar to the Scout's Scoutly Body—significantly boosting physical capabilities and endowing innate combat prowess, along with exceptional combat potential.
The skills at the Sage Stage are particularly interesting: Lawmaking involves establishing laws and setting rules. Once someone violates these rules, the Judgment skill activates, granting the Knight divine strength to impose penalties upon the violator.
A very strong and engaging profession in combat. Notably, the notes mention that individuals who become this profession in real life are typically deeply principled, fair, and just—this has resulted in a remarkably small pool of practitioners, most of whom lead ascetic lives. "I suspect the Mage's Eye would really appreciate the Knight profession..." Zhang Yuanqing continued reviewing the compilation of foreign evil professions.
[Final Poisoner (Supernatural Stage): Active Skills: Master of Toxins, Transmission. Passive Skill: Body Resistant to All Toxins.]
[Deformed One (Saint): Active Skills: Demon, Deformation, Toxic Smoke. Passive Skill: Cold-hearted.]
This is the evil profession Zhang Yuanqing has seen with the fewest skills, yet upon reading the details, he realized it actually offers the greatest operational flexibility. The Master of Toxins possesses innate abilities to identify and create various types of toxins, capable of producing viruses with diverse functions and effects—just this alone makes the profession highly versatile.
Transmission allows poison to spread through air, water, saliva, and contact—just as creatively. In the Saint phase, demons come equipped with numerous abilities, such as fire, combat, self-healing, and mental control. The core ability, Distortion, can transform people, animals, and plants into monsters, each variant gaining unique traits based on cultivation—such as fire, toxin, flight, mental control, or close-quarters combat. Passive abilities include the Body of a Thousand Poisons and Cold Blood. The former grants immunity to all poisons while simultaneously being infused with toxins throughout the body, such that even exhaled breath can carry lethal poison. Cold Blood ensures the mind remains ever-alert, maintaining a consistently calm and composed hunter’s demeanor.
[The Drunkard (Transcendent Phase): Active Skills: Neural Paralysis, Sensory Disorientation, Cognitive Errors. Passive Skills: The Rage of the Drunk, Alcohol Dependence.]
[The Disordered One (Saint Phase): Active Skills: Ecstasy, Lawless Champion, The Reverser. Passive Skill: Master of Brewing.]
A profession rooted in chaos, excelling at control-based abilities at the extraordinary stage, though lacking in destructive power. At the saintly stage, this remains true—festivity is an area-of-effect control skill that compels targets within a range to sing and dance wildly, ignoring real dangers and reveling without restraint. The "outsider who defies norms" is the core ability, adept at exploiting rule loopholes; at the sovereign stage, they can even reshape or erase rules, becoming profoundly formidable. The profession's passive skills are particularly intriguing: "Alcohol dependency"—on average, every practitioner is a drunkard. "Fury of the intoxicated"—after drinking, combat effectiveness surges, though cognitive clarity is often lost. The "brewmaster" stands out: the disorderly practitioners craft exquisite wines; merely the aroma of their brew can induce intoxication in enemies, and once an opponent succumbs to the temptation of sampling the wine, they become completely incapacitated.
[Evernight (extraordinary stage): Active skills: Stillness, Dormancy, Sealing. Passive skills: Fear of light, Longevity.]
[Deep-Sea Apostles (saintly stage): Active skills: Depth, Nightfall. Passive skills: Silence.]
The note reads: "This profession is rare and elusive, often seen only in glimpses. Its practitioners either seal themselves off or fall into deep sleep. They are quiet, rarely speak, and prefer to rest—most of them lie in coffins for long stretches. When they need to leave their resting place, the coffins themselves take flight, and wherever they go, all living beings fall into sleep or silence. At the transcendent stage, their strengths lie in sealing and sleeping, with a weakness to light and a major advantage in longevity. At the sage stage, they establish their own deep, blackened realms—deep voids that form a veil of stillness. Once within such a realm, practitioners gradually lose their abilities and enter a state of deep slumber. This deep slumber vanishes once the realm is awakened, which is why their passive ability 'Silence' enables them to remain undisturbed and continue sleeping. 'A very pure profession, with a singular skill set—yet profoundly formidable...' Zhang Yuanqing, after reviewing all information on overseas professions, exhaled silently.
"Hmm, there's one profession missing from overseas," Red Chicken said. "It seems no matter whether we're talking about homegrown or international, evil professions are both strange and terrifying," Yuan Ting remarked, raising her hand and asking, "Are the evil professions also peak professions abroad?"
"Yes," the dean confirmed. "Among the lawful professions, which one is the peak profession?" asked San Yang Kai太太, quickly lowering her head, not wanting to draw attention from the students. She had still not fully recovered from yesterday's incident.
"Abroad, there is no peak profession within the lawful faction. Currently, the only peak profession among the lawful faction is the Night Wandering Spirit," said Dean Li Yanxi, glancing at the four Night Wandering Spirits in the front row. "Scholars believe the Night Wandering Spirit is particularly unique, though they still don't know exactly why."
"Seeing more students gradually lift their heads and shift their gaze from the papers, Director Li Yanxi remarked, 'The characteristics of overseas professions are all outlined in these documents—I won’t repeat them. Now, let me speak about overseas organizations. Just as in our own system, each profession has a corresponding organization. 'The Divine Judgment,' composed of Wind and Thunder Magi, is today’s most powerful lawful organization. The Divine Judgment isn’t limited to just Wind and Thunder Magi—it encompasses nearly all lawful professions. Many prominent figures in the Five Elements Alliance were once members of the Divine Judgment. 'The Association of Beauty and Desire,' formed by the professions of Love and Desire, has a relatively small core membership, yet its members spread across numerous organizations. In many lawful overseas organizations, mid-to-senior-level officials are members of the Association of Beauty and Desire. Hm, I needn’t elaborate on why they join, do I?" A female student expressed disdain and condescension. Zhang Yuanqing, a member of the Association of Beauty and Desire, felt a sudden sense of unease.
"The organization composed of sea nymphs was originally known as the 'Divine Sea Church.' In the early part of this century, it rebranded itself as the 'Ocean Freight Company,' focusing primarily on shipping and rarely engaging in land-based activities. Even the forces of divine retribution or the evil factions dared not challenge them on the seas."
President Li Yanxi sipped some water. "The organizations established by the Void-class professions are the 'Merchant Guild,' the largest collective of merchants among the spiritual realm travelers. As long as you're willing to pay, you can procure virtually anything from them—including rule-based items. Their wealth is incalculable. Numerous lawful organizations, as well as even the evil factions, have historically borrowed funds from them. The Merchant Guild serves as the financial backbone for all.
The organizations formed by the Knight-class professions are known as the 'Knights' Order.' This organization is relatively small and spread across various regions in Europe and North America. Internally, it is highly decentralized, with most knights living a monastic life, traveling widely and diligently practicing their craft. Remember: their combat prowess is exceptionally formidable."
"The evil organizations are: the Bio-Alchemy Guild, the Dionysus Club, and the Abyss Church, each with numerous branches across Europe and North America..." As the group digested the information about these organizations, Yuan Tingxing hurriedly asked: "Director, you mentioned earlier that several prominent figures within the Five Elements Alliance hail from Tianfa. Could you please name them specifically? I promise I won't reveal this." Li Yanxi glanced at him and replied: "The Commander of the White Tiger Army, and the Fearful King of the Military Commander's Order—these two were classmates, having studied together at Qin Feng Academy. By the way, the Fearful King was once a member of the Five Elements Alliance as well." "What?!" Yuan Tingxing was stunned. The students also looked up, astonished at the Director. "Wait—wait a moment," Xue Hou Aotian exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't the Fearful King a spirit of the insect and worm kind? How is it possible that he was once a member of the Five Elements Alliance?"
