After a brief moment of sensing his surroundings, Sterl made a decisive choice...
He raced back to the base at full speed, completely ignoring the flattering expressions and attempts to speak from the craftsmen and Beck.
Upon returning to the warehouse, he activated the core once again!
Everything around him dissolved into chaos before transforming back into the island setting of the Hall of Valor's ultimate trial!
"Thank goodness, I'm not too late." Sterl stood up immediately, realizing that nothing around him had changed.
The fragile crafts he had strategically placed at the edge were still intact.
It was clear that the other players had bought Sterl a considerable amount of time. He had spent extra time absorbing and digesting the unknown item formed by the white mist, making him worry that the boss might have already killed his in-game character. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.
Sterl looked into the distance and soon spotted the other players. They seemed to be gathered in one area, collectively resisting the boss's attacks. It seemed they weren't foolish enough to be picked off one by one.
Sterl felt quite relieved, realizing that the players' unity had bought them much more time.
Instead of rushing to join the players in their battle against the boss, Sterl decided to check his own attributes first.
He opened his panel and examined it.
Sure enough, several changes had occurred within his body.
First of all, his race, originally listed as Human, now had a faint glow around the name, appearing more lustrous.
This change was purely visual. Although Sterl was puzzled, he lacked the information to understand its significance and decided to set it aside for now.
Additionally, he had gained a new passive skill of [Special] quality:
[Primordial Body (Special)]
Description: It is said to be an extremely perfect state transformed from countless racial bodies. Some races are rumored to be born with a Primordial Body.
Effect: Increases your experience efficiency by 50%, accelerates the proficiency gain rate of all skills by 100%, and unlocks partial Law Power, divine authority, and skill learning permissions.
"Not bad, huh?" Sterl nodded slightly as he read the new passive skill. Although it was an unexpected bonus, its effects were quite practical. One effect increased experience efficiency, meaning Sterl could now level up more with the same amount of experience.
Another effect was the accelerated accumulation of skill proficiency, which was also quite useful. However, proficiency for legendary abilities and laws no longer displayed.
The use of Divine Power and divine authority didn't involve proficiency. It entirely depended on the user's own accumulation.
Initially, Sterl thought the skill's boost would be limited.
Fortunately, after sensing it, more detailed information appeared. Under the Primordial Body's effect, Sterl was akin to a "Heavenly Spirit Body," making everything he did easier. He would master Law Power, Divine Power, and divine authority faster.
"So powerful?!" His expression shifted from mild surprise to extreme excitement.
To know that Gloria could develop so many abilities with Moon Law, yet Sterl couldn't even come close—besides the difference in their accumulation of Law Power, it was mainly due to proficiency.
Sterl felt that with this [Primordial Body], his combat power would soon increase significantly. He would be able to develop new functions for his trump cards, [Moon] and [Flowing Water].
As for the last point of this passive skill, the unlocking of certain Law Power, skills, and divine authority permissions, it left Sterl a bit puzzled. Did this mean that without this passive skill, some powerful abilities would be unattainable?
He had a vague feeling...
Something seemed off!
It would be better to keep the faith power in reserve.
After sensing the changes in his mental realm, Sterl slowly opened his eyes. His professional advancement was now complete.
He casually stretched his muscles, immediately feeling a surge of power throughout his body, almost to the point where he found it challenging to control himself.
The main reason was that the attribute boost was simply too overwhelming!
Sterl found his control over his body greatly diminished, but instead of being worried, he was thrilled!
"This... my power has skyrocketed!"
He couldn't wait to open his attribute panel.
Various notifications began to flood the screen.
[Congratulations! Your authority heart has been upgraded to a Radiance-level profession!]
[Your authority heart has fully merged with you! You can now freely integrate various skills into your profession system!]
[Notice: Your authority heart has fully integrated with you and has undergone a breakthrough based on your physique and attributes, resulting in a brand-new profession!]
[Please confirm the name of the new profession: [——]]
"Huh?"
"Naming?"
Sterl was taken aback.
He wasn't really good at naming things. Otherwise, his 3S-level pet, the Star Radiance Dragon, wouldn't still be called by its species name.
Sterl thought for a moment.
"Let's call it Harness the Stars."
He felt this name was quite refined, fitting well with his skills and the starry sea within his mental realm.
Thus,[Harness the Stars] had a sort of elegance to it!
At the same time, the simple name Harness the Stars didn't sound like an overwhelmingly powerful profession. People might even mistake it for a B-level or A-level profession, perfectly aligning with Sterl's cautious nature.
Just in case...
He meant, just in case someone detected his profession name but didn't get any other information.
Sterl could still pretend that his profession was trash!
After confirming the profession name:
[You have created a new profession: Harness the Stars (Radiance)]
[The naming rights for the A-level profession[Harness the Stars]have been revoked! Your Harness the Stars (Radiance) will be a unique, exclusive profession.]
"Huh?" Sterl was stunned again. Wow, just by naming his profession, he had taken over the name of an existing A-level profession.
But he paid no mind to this little incident, as the attribute boosts started to flood in next—
