One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 652 The Hottest New Material
In the center of the large screen in the square, a middle-aged couple greeted all the high-level professionals present, looking somewhat reserved.

Although the couple had long since left behind their impoverished background and become members of high society, dressed in expensive haute couture gowns, you could still see a touch of simplicity in their faces.

Since Lin Yi was unable to attend this grand event, Xu Sheng suggested that Lin Yi's parents attend on his behalf.

Unlike the previous enthusiastic applause.

When Lin Guodong and Xu Qingfang appeared on the big screen, all the high-level professionals in the entire square bowed deeply to the couple at a 90-degree angle.

Looking down at this scene from above, the feeling was incredibly awe-inspiring.

Not to mention the high-level professionals from various countries, even the leaders of various countries stood up at the same time and bowed respectfully to Mr. and Mrs. Lin Guodong.

They deserve this courtesy.

About ten seconds later, everyone slowly got up.

Xu Sheng also spoke at this moment.

"I'm sure everyone knows who these two are. Today, Mr. and Mrs. Lin are here to witness this historic moment. I, Xu Sheng, as the leader of the Blue Star Professionals Alliance, would like to take this opportunity to announce something."

"After discussions among high-level officials from various countries, it has been unanimously decided that from this day forward, Mr. and Mrs. Lin will enjoy state-level treatment wherever they are on Earth, regardless of their location or country!"

The decision made by the Blue Star Professionals Alliance was entirely expected.

Lin Yi's contributions to Blue Star are evident to all professionals, and no one has any objection to him. The value he has brought to Blue Star cannot be measured by military merits.

When Xu Sheng finished speaking, there was another round of deafening applause.

Meanwhile, leaders from various countries stood up, lined up to shake hands with Mr. and Mrs. Lin Guodong, and extended sincere invitations.

This was just a side story.

The most important thing today is the implementation of the new regulations.

Previously, the assessment of a professional's strength was basically limited to their professional level.

When professionals introduce themselves, they usually say things like "I am from such-and-such country, of such-and-such rank, or God of War level + my profession name".

However, now that all Blue Star professionals have entered an era where everyone controls elemental power, the Blue Star Professionals Alliance has made plans to add the description of controlling elemental power after the professional's name.

Different countries on Earth allocate different resources to professionals of different levels.

After this assessment of elemental control is completed, professionals from all countries on Earth will have an additional metric to consider for their cultivation resources. Therefore, today's assessment of elemental control is extremely important.

Like skills, elemental power is also divided into ten tiers.

For example, wind and water elements combine to form ice elements, which also have different ranks.

The level of ice element a professional can control is unaffected by a skill's tier, which determines the level of that professional's elemental power.

Taking Lin Yi as an example, the black ice he controls is unaffected by any skills below the tenth rank, so the ice power he wields can be called the tenth rank.

Of course, Lin Yi has not yet reached that level.

His control over the black ice has not reached the level of complete mastery. Even though he is now capable of controlling this power, he does not rely on top-level control over the ice element, but rather on the suppression of the power of laws.

To put it more bluntly, the level of an elemental power is determined by how many levels of skill defense it can ignore when it can control the element at will.

After the grand event, professionals from various countries on Earth will participate in rigorous testing to record the elemental control abilities of each high-level professional. This will be used to regulate resource allocation and facilitate team composition when necessary.

The conference lasted for quite a long time.

During this period, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Guodong truly realized just how much their child had contributed to the development of Blue Star.

As for bringing honor to their ancestors, Lin Guodong and his wife had no complaints. However, they had reservations about spending time with their elderly parents. Lin Guodong and Xu Qingfang understood the principle of sacrificing their own family for the greater good, but what they couldn't understand was why Lin Yi had taken away their prospective daughter-in-law this time he came back.

The old couple will be so bored in the future.

The Shenxiao flagship in the far north.

A small team that had completed their mission had just stepped off the teleportation array and returned to the Divine Firmament Realm.

"Hey, I was just saying, this mission really went smoothly!"

"You know what, Jiang Ya's abilities are really top-notch. I'm starting to wonder if she's actually on the special admission route."

An eighth-level student from the Fuxi Academy stretched, releasing the fatigue accumulated throughout the day.

Behind him followed five young students, two men and three women, all of whom were around the seventh level of cultivation.

To reach this level at such a young age (early twenties) is quite an achievement.

"Of course. We were able to escape danger several times during our deep dive into the Abyss thanks to Jiang Ya's telekinetic skills. Considering Jiang Ya's strength, she certainly doesn't seem like someone who took the special admission route."

The fact that Jiang Ya and Zhang Shan were specially recruited is an open secret in Shenxiao.

Ever since Lin Yi went out to train, the Great Xia Dynasty has spared no effort in providing Shenxiao with cultivation resources out of respect for Lin Yi.

This top university, already blessed with unparalleled advantages, receives resources and honors that are almost unimaginable.

Besides, in this dog-eat-dog world, it's only natural for the strong to enjoy certain privileges.

Giving Jiang Ya and Zhang Shanyun a degree from Shenxiao University was met with no objection from any of the Shenxiao students.

On the contrary, the students and teachers of Shenxiao would take better care of Jiang Ya and Zhang Shan because of Lin Yi.

Jiang Ya felt a little embarrassed by the heartfelt praise, and blushed as she humbly replied:

It's all thanks to the amazing skills of the senior students; otherwise, with my abilities, there's practically no way I could have successfully cleared Jiangyuan.

Entering the Divine Firmament was not as difficult as Jiang Ya had imagined.

Although the courses at Shenxiao were somewhat intensive, the teachers and students were all very enthusiastic.

After becoming familiar with the rules, Jiang Ya's abilities improved significantly, and she integrated into the group quite smoothly.

And so, I've already started teaming up with senior students to clear the Jiangyuan dungeon, and I've already gained their approval.

The mutual flattery had just begun when a beam of white light descended upon the group, its powerful aura immediately drawing the attention of all six people.

"Greetings, Headmaster."

Since the end of the Blue Star, Shenxiao has shed his mysterious veil.

Even Principal Wan Chongshan revealed the secret that his true form is a cat.

Upon seeing Wan Chongshan arrive in person, the group quickly and respectfully bowed.

"No, no, no need for such formalities. I have come here today for the sake of this little girl, Jiang Ya."

"Let's go, Zhang Shan is already picking out things. Come with me. The elemental spirit crystals allocated by the Blue Star Professional Alliance have arrived. See if there's anything suitable for you, and pick one out."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ya's five friends all showed expressions of envy.
