Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

Chapter 35  Terrifying Bonuses!!

With an insanely crazed expression, Philip Waldo was surrounded by bizarre ethereal shadows composed of purplish-gray and blood-red.

These spirits let out piercing shrieks, charging towards where Teresa was located. Merely gazing at these spectral figures was enough to send shivers down one's spine and shock one's soul!

Teresa was in a particularly dire situation. She had just unleashed a powerful move in an attempt to break through the bloody barrier but failed, leaving her drained. Then, she was startled by Sterl's terrifying combat power, reacting a split second too slow.

And it was this split second that sealed her defeat!

Despite Teresa also being a C-Class profession, the [Thunder Mage], she was significantly outmatched in skill strength compared to the god-blessed [Blood God Priest], not to mention being chased down all this while.

Teresa was in a terrible state...

Thus, she could only manage to release a few bolts of lightning. Although they seemed impressive and shattered a few spectral spirits, more of them simply overwhelmed Teresa!

The female player showed a look of despair as her vision was completely overtaken by the spirits—

She saw Sterl.

The genius player who had easily withstood Philip's attacks and killing moves, made his move!

"Argh!!!" Teresa let out a violent scream! Being devoured by countless spirits felt like being dismembered, instantly sliced by a thousand blades.

Even the most resilient of wills couldn't bear it!

Teresa was severely injured in an instant, her protective gear shattered, her body bloodied and torn with wounds so deep they revealed bone. It was only the strong vitality of a level 59 player that kept her clinging to life.

Sterl, on the other hand, simply brushed off his clothes, dusting off the dirt.

Some of the lightning bolts Teresa had unleashed had actually headed his way... Although Sterl dodged in time, the dust kicked up by the lightning strikes dirtied his clothes.

He certainly wouldn't lift a finger to help the female player who came to his rescue.

The reason was simple...

After the other two players initiated their detection, Sterl knew all too well.

Because he heard the system's prompts—

[Your [Visage of Void] has endured detection from players more than 30 levels above you]

[Your...]

[[Visage of Void]'s durability has decreased to 60%]

Damn!

My equipment, forged with three strands of the Blood Essence, had been squandered by you so much??

Sterl felt a twinge of pain, feeling it was a loss!

Because his disguise was meaningless to the two in front of him, his display of combat power was too outrageous! He had taken a hit from a level 50 player head-on and even managed to strike back. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The durability of [Visage of Void] was simply wasted. The two players nearby would never believe the results of their detection.

Of course, aside from feeling the pinch, Sterl understood...

The two players in front of him must die!

Otherwise, they would definitely expose his secrets. The old saying goes, being one or two steps ahead makes you a genius, and you'd be specially nurtured by the human race.

Being far too ahead, Sterl might also receive nurturing. But it's more likely that people would suspect Sterl of harboring some massive fortune, and they would attempt to see if this fortune could be taken from him!

Now, with an S-Class profession and a golden finger for adding points, systematically developing his abilities would undoubtedly make him a formidable power, necessitating the elimination of any risk of exposure!

The sight of the bizarre-faced youth attacking the female player almost made Sterl laugh out loud.

Dog eat dog!

The best outcome would be both sides inflicting heavy damage on each other!

It's just a pity...

Sterl hadn't expected the female player to be so useless, taken down by the bizarre-faced youth in one strike, and looking close to death.

"Well, that's fine. That skill she used looked pretty powerful."

"At least it will make that bizarre-faced youth expend some energy." Sterl mused silently.

At the same time...

"This unknown female player, I'll bury you and erect a tombstone for you later." Sterl silently resolved. He wasn't completely devoid of morals, after all. The woman had previously thrown him an escape scroll, hoping Sterl could get away.

Sterl was quite grateful for this, feeling some fondness for the female player.

But Sterl couldn't risk exposing his own secrets for this reason.

Meanwhile...

The battle continued, and although the female player seemed on her last breath, she barely managed to stand up again, gathering lightning.

Seeing that Sterl had no intention of running away, Philip showed a bloodthirsty smile towards Teresa: "Yes, just like that, my dear. You look absolutely beautiful now!"

"Let me adorn you further!"

Laughing crazily, the youth gathered blood into a small knife and rushed forward!

This time, he wasn't in a rush to kill Teresa, but leisurely cut off pieces of Teresa's flesh, one slice at a time!

And the female player's face was filled with despair. But at such a moment, she struggled to survive with all her might.

She kept releasing skills imbued with lightning, but each time her opponent easily broke them!

The bloody blades bit by bit turned the originally beautiful Teresa into a true "beauty of bones."

Philip Waldo's expression became increasingly excited, as he saw Teresa had no power to resist.

Even if a fellow member of his Blood God Sect found him now...

Philip could instantly end his toying with his prey, kill Teresa, and use an item to leave the dungeon!

But for now, he wanted to enjoy himself a bit more.

On the other side, seeing the two level 50+ powerhouses still entangled,

Sterl wasn't in a hurry to join the fight but quickly went through the benefits of his class change.

He had just completed his class change when he was attacked by that Blood God Priest, only managing to instinctively use a new skill.

Now, he could carefully review the changes after the class change...

Sterl began to scroll through the system's prompt records.

[You have successfully assumed the profession: Master of Stars]

[Your attribute bonuses have changed. The attribute category for Master of Stars is: Balanced.]

[Starting from level 20, with every level-up, you gain +2 to all attributes and 2.5 free attribute points. The points you allocate to any attribute will have their effect doubled.]

[As a result of the above effects, your Spirit attribute has increased: 25→30.] (Previously added five points)

Sterl was immediately met with a huge surprise upon reading!

The attribute bonuses for Master of Stars are quite powerful!

Based on what Sterl learned in his general education classes...

Typically, if you change to the lowest F-class profession, the increase in attributes per level and the bonus from free attribute points after becoming a professional remain the same as before the class change, making the change nearly pointless.

For an E-class profession, there would be a single attribute that increases by 1.2 points per level, and putting free attribute points on this attribute would also have a 1.2x effect.

Moreover, depending on the profession, the specific attribute that gets enhanced varies, such as Strength or Constitution for warriors, and Spirit for mages, Agility for assassin-type professions.

By the time you get to D-class professions, the strength isn't much to speak of. About one attribute, each level-up and bonus from adding points become 1.3x.

As for C-class professions, they are already quite rare, and players who manage to change to these professions experience a surge in combat power.

Having two attributes increase by 1.5 points per level, and a 1.5x increase when allocating points, plus, with C-class professions, the concept of exclusive skills emerges.

It can be said that changing to a C-class profession is a groundbreaking opportunity among the people of Earth.

This was also one of the key reasons Philip Waldo joined the Blood God Sect.

Although his father was a leader of a superior base, only those children with the finest aptitude could persuade the leader to spare no expense in securing them a C-class profession qualification.

Philip Waldo couldn't hope for such treatment.

He joined the Blood God Sect with the aim of obtaining a C-class profession—the Blood God Priest.

After becoming a Blood God Priest, it wasn't an exaggeration to say Philip had defied fate.

D-class professionals, those who can reach the second transformation are rare, and even among their peers, they are just cannon fodder.

Among C-class professionals, many reach the third transformation, and there are records of advancement to legend.

As for professions above C-class, Sterl wasn't clear on the specifics.

But anyway, his S-class Master of Stars profession was truly extravagant!

Each level-up grants +2 to all attributes!

And gaining 2.5 free attribute points, with each point allocated to any attribute having a doubled effect.

That means... theoretically, Sterl gains thirteen attributes per level! Compared to C-class professionals, one level for him is worth two levels for them!

A level 50 Blood God Priest, purely in terms of base attributes, would only be as strong as Sterl at level 35.

Isn't that exaggerated??

Afterward, Sterl continued to read the system prompts.

[You have acquired the profession trait: Child of the Stars]

[Child of the Stars: Under the illumination of the stars, your rate of injury recovery increases by 300%, and all attributes increase by twenty points.]

[Your Flame Storm has been transformed into the blue-quality skill Blazing Starfire (0/30000) at the mastery level.]

[You have unlocked the skill tree for the Master of Stars profession: You have acquired the initial skill—Green-quality skill Blade of the Stars.]
