Chapter 7 - Forced knockout, the test results shocked everyone!

Chapter 7: Forced knockout, the test results shocked everyone! The convention hall was exceedingly spacious, following the arrangement of front and rear seating. Positioned in the front was a stage designated for speeches, with a line of seats below. Presently, Shen Yun, a [Disassembler] at level 50, stood across from Liu Qingshan, a [Sword Fighter] at level 60.

“As we all know, whenever an auxiliary profession advances, the increase in four-dimensional attributes is significantly lower compared to the primary combat profession. Moreover, the skills of the auxiliary professions tend to be more potent.”

“Observe, Lao Shen is currently engaged to Lao Liu!” Enchanter Lin Feng exclaimed as Shen Yun delivered a punch to Liu Qingshan. Immediately, a beam of light appeared on the chest of the level 60 sword fighter, causing him to step back four consecutive paces—knocked back by two meters!

“Look, I was pushed back!” Lin Feng said with an excited expression. “It’s true, it’s true!”

“I comprehend.” Zhang Haiqiang nodded. “Is it due to the influence of this ring?”

“Yes!” Lin Feng nodded emphatically. “Lao Zhang, Lao Shen’s attributes aren’t just one level behind Lao Liu. A level 51 disassembler managed to repel a level 60 sword fighter, the main combat profession!”

“This is truly incredible.”

Zhang Haiqiang took a deep breath, understanding the significance of this revelation. Under normal circumstances, various skill effects were restricted when facing different targets and levels in actual combat.

Taking the [Warrior] profession as an example, a junior martial artist (level 10) possessed a skill called [Crash], forming a gas shield in front of them to knock targets into the air. However, this effect was nullified when facing a significantly higher-level target. For instance, a level 10 junior martial artist attempting to collide with a level 60 sword fighter would hit them at all, producing no knock-up effect due to the vast attribute difference.

This principle applied to skills as well as equipment. Most equipment effects were limited when facing foes with substantially higher attributes, resulting in failure or immunity.

Zhang Haiqiang and his group delved into various occupational studies. In terms of professional understanding, few could rival them. The current scenario was a simple test that uncovered the uniqueness of Zhao Xing’s enchanted ring.

“It actually disregarded the level difference and induced a forced repulsion effect!”

“Mr. Lin, as an enchanter, this ring doesn’t fall under primary enchantment, does it?” Zhang Haiqiang inquired.

“It definitely doesn’t belong to primary enchantment. It might even be classified as advanced enchantment. However, further testing is required to determine its full potential,” Lin Feng pondered and replied.

“Old Liu didn’t utilize his combat skills earlier, so he was defenseless. We need to observe again.”

Zhang Haiqiang couldn’t resist saying, “Old Liu, use your equipment for defense! Test the limits of this ring!”

“Alright!” Liu Qingshan signaled his readiness to Shen Yun in front of him. Subsequently, he activated a skill from his level 40 purple equipment on his wrist—motionless as a mountain. A purple translucent light enveloped Liu Qingshan.

Shen Yun delivered an ordinary straight punch. Observing closely, Zhang Haiqiang and Lin Feng noted that the purple light on Liu Qingshan’s body vanished after persisting for a second.

“Thump, thump, thump!”

The level 60 sword fighter was still repelled, but this time, he only took two steps back, pushed away by more than a meter. The [Knockback] effect had been halved.

Yet, Zhang Haiqiang, Lin Feng, and the others couldn’t help but marvel. “The knockback effect induced by the Nameless Ring has an exceptionally high priority! Even a level 40 purple outfit can’t entirely counteract this effect.”

“No, you’re mistaken!” Lin Feng shook his head. “It’s not the ring. It’s the enchantment effect! Zhao Xing’s enchanting skill bestows this ring with remarkable power. His talent is truly unimaginable, challenging the career theories we’ve established.”

At this point, not only Liu Qingyun but the rest of the group also took turns testing it on the field.

Utilizing their equipment and skills, they took turns experiencing the enchanting effect of the ring, providing a source of entertainment for the prominent figures in Nanhu Province. Eventually, Zhang Haiqiang, the head of the Education Department, took the lead in personally testing the ring’s limits by employing advanced martial arts skills [Superior Body].

“Alright, let’s convene a brief meeting now,” Zhang Haiqiang declared, beckoning everyone to sit once more. “Based on the results of our recent tests, we have gained valuable insights. The knockback effect of this ring can impact the majority of main combat professional skills up to level 60. Currently, only the mastery skills of high-level martial artists in the martial arts branch can completely counteract this effect. Additionally, among purple equipment below level 50, only king-grade equipment can render the ring ineffective.”

Upon summarizing the findings, Zhang Haiqiang found himself momentarily at a loss for words. This discovery had completely pushed the boundaries of their understanding. It was a level 1 white ring, and achieving such a profound effect was unprecedented. He estimated that everyone present would need to revisit their career reports in light of this ring, requiring modifications to existing theories on equipment and skill restraints.

“Mr. Lin, as an enchanter, please share your insights,” Zhang Haiqiang requested from Lin Feng, acknowledging him as the true professional expert among the eleven present.

Lin Feng cleared his throat before stating, “From preliminary speculation, Zhao Xing’s talent likely enables him to apply random rules to enchant equipment. Essentially, resistance is only possible if the energy level surpasses 60, classifying it as [Rule Enchanting].”

This revelation left everyone else in stunned silence. An energy level exceeding 60 was already considered first-class powerhouse territory, and the research summaries in this field were closely guarded secrets among nations.

“Why wasn’t this information included in Yang Tianming’s report? Is there more to it?” Someone inquired.

“It’s straightforward,” explained Sword Fighter Liu Qingyun, shaking his head. “Either Yang Tianming was unaware of this high-end knowledge, or he overlooked it, much like we did initially. As for Zhao Xing, he may not be aware of it himself.”

“Indeed,” Shen Yun concurred, nodding. “He’s just a trainee enchanter, lacking even basic advanced knowledge. It’s normal if he doesn’t comprehend it.”

The primary and intermediate knowledge advancement for major occupations was publicly accessible in classrooms. However, advanced and top professional knowledge advancement remained under the jurisdiction of the state. Without access to advanced knowledge, leveling up beyond a certain point was impossible.

“Minister Zhang, if this matter involves advanced or top professional knowledge, shouldn’t it be reported to higher authorities?” Someone suggested.

Zhang Haiqiang rubbed his temples and sighed. He had initially thought Nanhu Province had a genius, only to discover a prodigy. The Education Department of Nanhu Province now needed to exercise caution.

“Let’s wait a bit longer,” Lin Feng interjected. “After all, this ring is only temporary. There are only two days left. Reporting to higher-ups now wouldn’t be appropriate. By the time they send someone, the ring may no longer be functional. Currently, we can still test Zhao Xing’s enchanted equipment. My suggestion is to wait until he crafts his first piece of permanently enchanted equipment.”
