Chapter 494: Chapter 224: Selection of the 5th Profession (2-in-1 Mega Chapter)_3

Mary nodded, continuing to speak, “That’s very likely. And one thing is for certain, the Federation Navy will definitely send someone over, at the very least to ascertain whether the person lying on the ground is dead or alive.”

“If he’s alive, they will organize a rescue,” she added.

Nathaniel nodded and said, “Major Mary, you’re absolutely correct. I will immediately contact Captain Baron and the navy’s ‘Tide Strider’ to dispatch a fully armed squad here right away.”

“Lord Reine, let me help you treat your wounds first. Although Hydrotherapy can heal directly, cleaning the wound before treatment will produce a better effect,” Vinica said.

Vinica wasn’t focused on the person lying on the ground but on Reine before her.

Major Mary also chimed in, “Lord Reine, please leave this place to me and the two gentlemen from the Fish-Dragon Squad!”

Reine glanced at the others and quickly nodded, saying, “Very well, then I’ll leave it in your hands.”

The others nodded in agreement, with Trevo adding, “Lord Reine, you go ahead and deal with your injuries with Miss Vinica first; leave this to us.”

Reine then turned and prepared to leave with Vinica.

“Wait, Lord Baron!”

Cornett Leyman, the younger of the Leyman brothers, found something in the seam of the leather-clad middle-aged man’s trouser leg and pulled it out to discover a thin parchment scroll.

“Did you think I wouldn’t find it just because you sewed it into the seam of your trouser leg?” the younger brother Cornett Leyman muttered to himself.

“You’ve really underestimated me.”

When he respectfully handed the parchment to Reine, Reine was quite surprised.

After all, during the battle, he had been focused solely on how to defeat his opponent, his Finger Tiger weapon not sparing places like the opponent’s pouch or other places where items might be concealed.

By the time the battle ended, he had probably destroyed all those places where the opponent might have stashed items, like the pouch and the layers of leather armor.

He hadn’t expected that the adversary would have hidden something in the lining of his trouser leg.

Reine took the parchment, feeling a stir in his heart. Could this be the witchcraft that allowed the creation of his own shadow and launched synchronous attacks?

However, as Reine unfurled the scroll, he was slightly taken aback.

It didn’t contain the witchcraft.

Instead, at the top of the parchment scroll were written the words ‘Maxwell’s Rare Poison Crafting Secret Scroll’.

At that moment, a system prompt suddenly appeared:

[Ding! The host has obtained ‘Maxwell’s Rare Poison Crafting Secret Scroll,’ triggering a special class transition—Deadly Poison Master (Transcendent)!]

[The prerequisite conditions for transitioning to Deadly Poison Master (Transcendent) are: 1. Pharmacist or Poisoner lv5 or higher; 2. Spirit 18 points or higher; 3. Mastery of at least three rare poison recipes…Current conditions not met!]

Huh?

It was a special class transition.

Reine’s eyes shimmered with thought.

Since his transition to the legendary profession of [Weapon Master], his profession panel had expanded to include five slots. Aside from the four already occupied, one remained empty.

Having not yet decided upon a fifth profession, that matter had been set aside.

Now, it seemed that transitioning to a Pharmacist first might be a good choice. After reaching lv5, he could then transition to the special profession of [Deadly Poison Master], which was at least a Transcendent profession panel.

On one hand, this could further improve his attack power; on the other, it could enhance his own ability to prevent and identify various poisons from enemies.

“Lord Reine?” Vinica called softly.

“Oh, yes, Miss Vinica, let’s go,” Reine replied, and promptly tucked the parchment into his waistband and followed Vinica.

However, Reine soon remembered something and began to review the system prompts as he walked:

[Your Skill, Tokkal Hammer Technique, has improved, Experience +1669]

[Your Skill, Kadar Martial Arts, has improved, Experience +1228]

[You have been through a battle, Weapon Master (Legendary) Experience +889]

(Note: The above Skill Experience has enjoyed a 30% increase from the exclusive talent ‘Elementary Extraordinary Understanding’.)

[Congratulations, you’ve defeated a formidable enemy and earned one Golden Skill Point!]

…

[Congratulations, your Weapon Master (Legendary) Profession Level has increased!]

The Weapon Master (Legendary) Profession Level had advanced by one level to lv5 (17/2000).

This also granted Reine another attribute point and one Skill Point, leaving him with 5 remaining attribute points and 1 remaining Skill Point.

What surprised Reine further was that this battle had earned him one Golden Skill Point.

Golden Skill Points?

Reine soon recalled the system information he received when his Weapon Master (Legendary) profession had risen to lv2—’Golden Skill Points can be synthesized from three Skill Points or obtained by defeating formidable enemies.’

Clearly, this time he had acquired one Golden Skill Point by defeating a formidable enemy.

Immediately, Reine planned to apply this Golden Skill Point to his Tokkal Hammer Technique.

Because he was certain, just with this one additional Golden Skill Point, his Hammer Skill would reach a higher level.

Then he would truly master the secret technique!

But just as he was about to apply the point, Reine furrowed his brow in thought.

If he was just a little closer to breaking through the barrier, was it necessary to waste this precious Golden Skill Point?
