Chapter 369 - Hybrid (1/2)

After surfing the forum for a while, Roland took a shower and changed his clothes. Then, he left for the saber arts club.

Actually, there was not much he needed to learn now. But he didn’t want to leave since all his friends were there. Besides, the breakfast that Night Tide Sands made was too great to miss.

Would Qi Shaoqiu complain about him?

That was unlikely. More and more students were joining the saber arts club. Other than F6, there were another fourteen students who practiced there.

The cement floor had been s.p.a.cious in the past, but it was rather crowded now.

On the other hand, Qi Shaoqiu had charged hundreds of thousands of yuan from them in tuition fees.

Counting the students who practiced full-armor combat from the neighboring province, Qi Shaoqiu was quite rich at this point.

He planned to redecorate the saber arts club, expand the training ground, and even put more advertis.e.m.e.nts in the city.

But Night Tide Sands stopped him. She said to her brother, “Our city is too small, and the miaodao is just a niche technique. It’s already a miracle that a dozen people are learning here at the same time. Instead of advertising, you may want to teach them well first and market again when we open new branches in other cities.”

Qi Shaoqiu was only a highschool graduate; he knew that his sister knew better than he did. So, he followed her advice and dropped any plans of expansion.

After resting to digest breakfast, Roland practiced with Qi Shaoqiu. Their wooden miaodao were clinking.

They were evenly matched, and their battle was enjoyable. A lot of people always watched them whenever they practiced.

Most students had never been interested in the miaodao technique until they saw a spar between Roland and Qi Shaoqiu by chance.

So, Roland was half of the reason why the saber arts club had so many students.

After exercising and working out a little bit, Roland came home and took another shower. Then, he had lunch and practiced the Daoist Nourishment of Life.

Now, he could already sense the so-called “aura,” but nothing more.

He had searched some other ancestral halls in the countryside for the weird energy b.a.l.l.s, but he never found any.

When he was free, he also visited the ancestral halls where rituals were being held in honor of the ancestors. But he didn’t make any new discoveries.

When it was night, he lay down in the immersive cabin. The game had been back online in time after the update.

The moment he entered the game, a system notification popped up.

“You have joined a guild. You may now learn a general specialization in the guild menu.”

Roland immediately opened the guild menu. He found a square behind the name of every member on the list.

He clicked the square, and a new menu popped up, with a long list of specializations.

The list was really overwhelming, but thankfully, there was a simple query system that had categorized all the specializations available on the top of the menu.

Roland opened the categories one by one, only to discover that the general specializations were all available, which meant that he could learn any of the specializations with no consideration of his cla.s.s.

That seemed rather unbelievable.

Roland examined the categories one by one.

He found a lot of specializations that were very practical but had attribute demands.

For example, Lightning Reflex, which required an Agility growth of eight points, could significantly increase the reaction speed of the user. However, since Roland could learn Foresight as a Mage, he was not interested in this specialization.

The Warlocks, whose spells were random, would find this specialization much more useful.

Or another example: Life Tenacity, which required a Const.i.tution of eight points, could keep a player’s combat ability at a normal level even if they were stabbed in the heart. The duration of this effect was decided by the character level and the maximum Const.i.tution.

Mages had to worry about the critical strikes of stealthy a.s.sa.s.sins most. With this skill, the spellcaster would never die even if they were fatally injured.

The privileges for guild members were really generous.

Roland clicked his tongue in amazement.

He could learn the specializations of his cla.s.s sooner or later, but things would be completely different if he could learn the specializations of other cla.s.ses.

He would be able to make up for his shortcomings, or even create an unbelievable character build.

It was crazy enough even if he could only learn one.

Roland read about all the specializations, deciding which of them could benefit him the most.

While he was considering, Roland saw an icon behind Schuck’s name on the list of members. He moved his consciousness there, only to find that Schuck had picked Spirit Enhancement.

Roland understood why Schuck picked this specialization. It was true that the Saint Samurai were omnipotent with their divine skills, but the upper limit of their mental power was not higher, and its regeneration was very slow too.

Therefore, Schuck was trying to improve the capacity of his power, which was a sensible choice.

Then, other people in the guild picked their specialization too.

Roland scrutinized all the specializations, which took him almost an hour. He desired many of them, but regretfully, he could only pick one.
