Jiang He was quite satisfied with the effect of the [True Spirit of Phoenix Egg].
It was a pity that this kind of resource could only take effect once. Otherwise, if he gathered more of them, wouldn't his talents level up one after another?
Thinking of this, Jiang He asked, "Old Jiang, does the Council have more resources like this?"
Old Jiang said, "Of course, brother. For top-quality resources like this, the Council still has plenty."
"The [True Spirit of Phoenix Egg] was taken from the rebirth egg of the phoenix in myth… After the millennium, the Council hunted all the ancient beings on Blue Star. Dragons, phoenixes, qilin— all of them became resources stored in the treasury."
"And the quality of resources from these ancient beings was still a tier lower compared to the Ultimate Beasts."
"You'll have plenty of chances to upgrade your talents in the future."
The Council had already hunted down all the mythical beings?
No wonder, after the Exotic Beast Rampage, every Council member except the Prophet died…
Jiang He kept the Council's treasury in mind as he left the old classroom and headed to the school's storage.
This place had been converted into a resource warehouse, stocked with a large amount of supplies. Students could retrieve their allotted resources at the entrance after identity verification—
During the Twisted Time Domain, as long as it could be consumed, basic resources would be supplied without limit.
Perhaps this would cause some degree of waste, but since all withdrawals were recorded, and with the deterrent presence of A-rank instructors, no student dared to go too far.
By the time Jiang He arrived, everyone else had already taken their resources, saving him the trouble of waiting in line.
After verifying his identity, he retrieved daily supplies along with a box of [Time Shards].
[Time Shards] were not natural resources but the product of time professionals extracting their transcendent power and injecting it into carbon crystals. They had little effect on their own and were purely skill materials.
And also used for the [Inspirer]'s profession advancement.
The Twisted Time Domain lasted for a total of ten days.
Jiang He planned to invest five of those days into his new profession.
At this moment, he spent three hours completing a series of complex rituals.
Finally, he met the requirements for the new profession.
[Ritual complete, profession unlocked]
[Profession: Inspirer]
[Rank: C]
[Profession Specialty: Intuition]
[Profession Skill Tree: Inspiration.]
[Requirements: (Met, can transfer)]
Transfer!
[Intuition—Enhances one's sense of impending danger.]
The Prophet's time talent, [All-Knowing Omniscience], was called the most mysterious of all talents.
The time professions he created were similarly filled with "mystery" and "the unknown."
Especially the basic profession of Inspirer, which was practically synonymous with vagueness.
Like the profession specialty [Intuition], enhancing danger perception…
But what exactly counted as danger perception? And how much enhancement was considered "improvement"?
Furthermore, since this path required strong enough affinity with time, many who obtained this specialty almost felt no change at all.
Even when a blade was pressed to their neck, with death looming, the so-called intuition still did not trigger.
This was also why, among the thirteen S-rank paths, the Prophet's path was not recommended.
However…
When Jiang He successfully transferred to Inspirer, the world he perceived changed slightly.
Standing on the playground, he activated the attack lock. High-speed spheres shot out like raindrops.
In that instant, Jiang He felt countless trajectories surrounding him. Even the spheres coming from behind him were "clearly visible."
He scattered countless flames, not wasting extra energy, blocking the spheres along their trajectories, burning them down one by one.
Jiang He exclaimed, "So this is intuition? This feels amazing!"
"…This isn't intuition, you just switched on."
Old Jiang's face was equally full of astonishment.
Jiang He's time affinity was too absurd—he was simply the favored child of time!
With such terrifying aptitude piled together, the [Inspirer] profession was practically tailor-made for him, unleashing a heaven-defying effect.
Old Jiang even suspected that the Prophet himself, when he had been an Inspirer, might not have been stronger than Jiang He.
While marveling, Old Jiang broke into a smile.
"I was worried that, unlike me, you haven't gone through countless life-and-death battles, so you might not pick up my techniques…"
"But since the Inspirer profession suits you so well, things will be much better."
Intuition was only the profession specialty of [Inspirer].
It also had its own exclusive skill tree!
As a mysterious time profession, Inspirer only provided one skill path and one growth skill.
[Wisdom of Time lv1—As time passes, your spirit value slightly increases.]
Jiang He lit up this skill and waited for a while, but he didn't feel much improvement.
Of course, such purely passive growth skills could not have exaggerated values. Even if it increased by 0.01 spirit per minute, in a year it would exceed five thousand.
Jiang He had already grinded to E-rank Transcendent in just over a week. This kind of "elderly slow-grind" method was not suitable for him.
So he put his focus on the skill tree itself.
He spent an entire day, using countless Time Shards and his own time affinity, raising his profession level to lv7.
He obtained 6 skill points, quickly unlocking one profession skill after another.
The profession skills of the Inspiration skill tree mainly emphasized the two words: "senses."
Sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, sixth sense…
Each enhancement and strengthening was an upgrade of perception.
With his time affinity maxed out, combined with the independent boosts of the World Destroyer profession, Jiang He's growth surged like a rocket.
In Old Jiang's words: "Originally, you were blind, deaf, and slow to react. Now, you finally seem like a normal person."
Feeling the dramatic changes, Jiang He grew excited and eagerly pushed for more levels!
But as his profession level rose, the required experience grew as well, and leveling became slower.
It took Jiang He another full day to push his Inspirer profession to lv10.
By this time, most students' allotted time had expired, and they were ejected from the Twisted Time Domain.
The school suddenly became empty.
This quiet environment, however, was quite suitable for Jiang He to complete his advancement rituals.
With Old Jiang's help, Jiang He spent half a day completing the ritual.
Straight to the point, he unlocked his advancement profession!
[Profession: Diviner]
[Rank: B]
[Profession Specialty: Revelation of Time]
[Profession Skill Tree: Tarot.]
[Requirements: (Met, can transfer)]
...
[Revelation of Time—Borrow the power of time to reveal a target's past or their most probable future possibilities. (The higher the target's level, the blurrier the revelations; the clearer the revelations, the greater the cost)]
If the C-rank [Inspirer] merely borrowed the power of time to bring slight self-enhancements—
Then the B-rank [Diviner] had truly stepped into the domain of time!
Just the profession specialty [Revelation of Time] already involved the use of time's power!
"Diviner was the exclusive profession the Prophet created during his B-rank period…"
"And it could already foresee the past and future?"
"That's too strong!"
Jiang He couldn't help but exclaim.
Inspirer, Diviner, Astrologer, Prophet, Observer.
These were the five professions of this X-rank path.
If Diviner was already this powerful, then how terrifying must the true Prophet, or even the Observer, be?
As for the current S-rank Prophet, what step had he reached?
The thought was truly chilling…
Even if the Prophet couldn't trace Jiang He back through the [Doomsday Declaration]—
If he met Jiang He in person, would he be able to see through his professions, his future, even his talents?
"Looks like I'd better avoid the Prophet in the future…"
Considering that the Prophet had once foretold White Crane's destruction of the world, if he ever saw Jiang He, it probably wouldn't be anything good.
Jiang He secretly stayed on guard, but couldn't help looking at Old Jiang.
Maybe… should he test Revelation of Time?
"Don't use [Revelation of Time] on me." Old Jiang cut off the reckless brat's idea before he could act: "This is only a B-rank specialty. The clearer the vision, the greater the cost."
"With your time affinity, you might see through all of my past… and then be drained dry in an instant."
"Huh?"
Jiang He immediately stopped his movement.
He only had time talent, not infinite mental energy.
If he accidentally "looked" himself to death or insanity, that would be ridiculous.
But he couldn't just leave it unused either.
He couldn't possibly waste an entire specialty, right?
Old Jiang, who also had this profession, offered advice.
"When you use the specialty, you need to add your own 'limits'."
"The less you look at, the less it consumes."
