Ye Lin silently examined his attribute panel.
[Name: Ye Lin]
[Occupation: Prohibition Mage]
[Level: 1 (0.00%)]
[Strength: 10]
[Agility: 15]
[Spirit: 30]
[Occupation Talent: Infinite Forbidden Spells. A Prohibition Mage unlocks a forbidden spell with each level-up.]
[Skill: Forbidden Spell • Apocalypse Thunder]
[Forbidden Spell • Apocalypse Thunder: The Prohibition Mage sacrifices part of their body to summon the Apocalypse Thunder from the heavens. The more important the sacrificed body part, the higher the level of thunder summoned. At the highest, it can summon the Chaos Divine Thunder. Its power is determined by the Prohibition Mage's level and spirit power.]
[Note: When a Prohibition Mage releases a forbidden spell, there are no consumptions and no cooldowns.]
Generally, skill levels are divided into Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Legendary skills are already incredibly powerful, but above Legend is the Forbidden level, known as the Prohibition Spells.
The reason Prohibition Mages are so strong is that all their skills are Prohibition Spells. For others, using a Prohibition Spell usually means they're in a desperate situation, but for a Prohibition Mage, an ordinary attack is a Prohibition Spell.
This Apocalypse Thunder Prohibition Spell excited Ye Lin immensely. The Chaos Divine Thunder is the king of all thunder.
No wonder Prohibition Mages are considered unbeatable at their level. A single Chaos Divine Thunder would be enough to kill even a god at the same level.
More importantly, a Prohibition Mage releases Prohibition Spells with no cooldowns and no mana costs. This means, as long as they have enough lives, they can infinitely summon the Chaos Divine Thunder. This is something friends with many lives would understand.
Combined with his Immortal Body, Ye Lin couldn't even imagine how formidable he would be once he leveled up. For him, the Prohibition Mage occupation had no drawbacks.
A Prohibition Mage with no drawbacks and overwhelming combat power made Ye Lin laugh in his sleep at night.
Although he was overjoyed inside, Ye Lin knew this wasn't the time to show off. No matter how strong the Prohibition Spells were, he still had to level up. Right now, he still needed to play the part.
A three-year-old child couldn't kill anyone even with a Fire Kylin.
Ye Lin tightly clenched his fists, his whole body trembling, breathing heavily, and his eyes bloodshot, convincingly acting out the frustration of a rising genius who had fallen quickly.
Seeing Ye Lin's reaction, the principal couldn't help but sigh, his face showing some regret.
What a good child, too bad he's a Prohibition Mage.
"Ye Lin, don't be too upset. As they say, the future is in your hands. The Prohibition Mage occupation is still very powerful. It's better to bloom spectacularly than to live a mediocre life, isn't it?"
Ye Lin slowly lifted his head, his voice hoarse.
"Principal, do Prohibition Mages really not live past 25?"
The principal was stunned, then nodded reluctantly. He didn't want to deceive Ye Lin; although Prohibition Mages were powerful, their power came at a cost.
But soon, the principal's eyes lit up again.
Although Prohibition Mages have short lives, an SSS-grade Prohibition Mage, plus an SSS-grade Fire Mage, wouldn't they ensure Qingcheng High School's success in the college entrance exam trial?
Even without Zhuge Ni's help, if Ye Lin were to use his kidney to release a Prohibition Spell, he could sweep all other high schools.
"Wonderful!"
Thinking about standing on the podium after the exam and giving a speech about winning first place, the principal couldn't help but applaud.
Qingcheng High School hadn't won first place in five years. Who knew how he had endured those five years?
Every year, he was mocked by other high school principals. The principal of Qingcheng High School was long tired of it.
"Ye Lin, good child, come with me too! Hurry!"
The principal excitedly brought Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni to the office.
"Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni, you both know why I called you separately."
The principal looked at them with burning eyes.
"You two are the hope of Qingcheng High School in this college entrance exam trial!"
"So, tomorrow's novice dungeon will be crucial for you. I hope you both can raise your levels to at least ten at minimum!"
"Don't worry, I won't arrange any support class students for you tomorrow. I'll give you the chance to solo. So, I hope you don't disappoint me."
The principal spoke earnestly.
Usually, combat occupations would group with support occupations when entering the novice dungeon because support occupations had no ability to fight alone.
Letting Ye Lin and Zhuge Ni solo meant they would level up faster than others.
"Principal, I don't have a problem, but Ye Lin..." Zhuge Ni frowned slightly.
Letting a Prohibition Mage solo in the novice dungeon? Isn't that like using a cannon to kill a mosquito? Encountering a level one monster, he'd use a Prohibition Spell; encountering a level five monster, he'd still use a Prohibition Spell. By the end, he'd probably lose half his life.
"What do you mean?" the principal asked.
"Let me team up with Ye Lin. This way, we can delve deeper into the dungeon. I'll handle the low-level monsters, and he can handle the high-level ones. This way, the leveling speed should be faster!" Zhuge Ni said.
Although teaming up to kill monsters only gave half the experience, delving deeper into the dungeon would save time looking for monsters. It might not be slower than soloing.
"Oh? That makes sense! Indeed a good plan. What do you think, Ye Lin?" the principal's eyes lit up.
"Principal, I'll solo. I'm used to working alone," Ye Lin scratched his head honestly.
Teaming up with Zhuge Ni would be restrictive, and he'd have to worry about exposing his Immortal Body secret. Ye Lin wasn't interested.
"Truly doesn't know a good thing when he sees it."
Zhuge Ni's eyes grew cold. She had thought about helping Ye Lin as a fellow student, especially since becoming a Prohibition Mage was already unlucky. But Ye Lin had refused her help.
Fine, let him come out of the dungeon missing an arm or leg or regret it later.
"Then it's solo. Although your plan, Zhuge, is good, delving deeper into the dungeon is too risky," the principal decided. He didn't care about the consequences of Ye Lin soloing or if Ye Lin would die young. All he wanted was the graduation rate and the first place!
Even if Ye Lin lost half his life after the novice dungeon, as long as he could achieve good results in the college entrance exam trial, it didn't matter if Ye Lin died afterward.
Then the principal took out two rings and handed them to Zhuge Ni and Ye Lin.
