My stats are higher than yours!!

"I am Bai Shuodong, Tongxing."

Bai Shuodong shook hands with him.

Lin Zilong's hands have a very special feel; they are extremely tough but not uncomfortable. There are no calluses on his palms from long-term training, but you can feel a subtle yet powerful force the moment you hold the other person's hand.

This senior is very capable!

"The director asked me to mentor you for a while, to help you improve your skill level, and also to give you some basic knowledge about psychics."

Lin Zilong paused for a moment, then continued, "However, I also need to cultivate and fight in the Spirit Realm. I can only allocate two hours to you each week, and the specific time can be determined depending on the situation."

"Ok."

Bai Shuodong nodded.

He took a sip of his lemonade. The name Lin Zilong sounded familiar; he seemed to have heard it somewhere before—senior year of high school… Lin Zilong…

Isn't this the strongest warrior among the senior students?

The one on the grade honor roll?

“My codename is Overlord, and my primary weapon is the same as yours—a gun. I’m also a legendary-level professional. Feel free to ask me any questions, and I’ll get back to you if it’s convenient for me. This is my contact information,” Lin Zilong said kindly.

"Thank you."

Bai Shuodong scanned the profile picture and his intuition told him that this senior was terrifyingly strong.

If he remembered correctly, he was the only legendary-level professional in the entire school's warrior department. Xia Yanxin, a freshman, was a possible match for him, but she hadn't completed the Spirit Realm Trial yet. There were no legendary-level professionals in the entire second year of high school.

Legendary level, extremely valuable, even among warriors, it is still highly regarded, with employment prospects comparable to hero-level support-type psionicists.

"Senior, just how difficult is it to master a legendary profession?" Bai Shuodong asked curiously.

"First, attribute allocation must be reasonable, and there shouldn't be too many unimportant spirit attributes; second, skill level must be high, preferably above level 5, and you must also have the ability to comprehend skills; finally, you must be smart enough to have an excellent overall perspective and judgment."

"So this way I can get a legendary class?"

“No, this gives us the minimum chance of getting a legendary job. If we can’t even meet this standard, then the chance is zero, completely impossible,” Lin Zilong said with a smile, spreading his hands.

"What if we also consider innate talent?" Bai Shuodong continued to ask.

"You need at least an A-level talent. If you don't even have an A-level talent, it's practically impossible to get a legendary job." Lin Zilong didn't mean to be sarcastic; he spoke very frankly.

"What about mastering psychic powers?"

"Isn't that the basic threshold? There's no need to specifically mention it."

"..."

Bai Shuodong fell into a brief silence, gaining a deeper understanding of the legendary profession.

"Don't overthink it. As long as you can get the top hero job, you'll be the school's top genius. Surpassing 99% of your classmates is no problem, and it's even possible to surpass 100% of your grade," Lin Zilong comforted him with a smile.

"Then your talent, senior..."

"S-class".

...

Private training room

Lin Zilong stood in the combat zone, gun in hand, looking at Bai Shuodong from afar, and said, "Come on, let me see your full strength. There's no need to hold back."

"it is good."

Bai Shuodong concentrated intently, gathering his spiritual energy on the spot. A fierce flame ignited on the spear, the flames at the tip of the spear were incredibly dazzling, and became more and more intense with the accumulation of time.

[Slow Burst] Activated!

The boy's figure thrust forward with a long spear, crimson flames slicing through the sky as the flaming spear fell like a meteor, crashing straight into the young man opposite him.

"This power....??"

Lin Zilong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his weapon to resist.

At the moment the weapons clashed, the flames at the tip of the Flame Spear exploded with a deafening roar, and a shockwave of fire rippled outwards.

Chapter Sixty-Three: A Humanoid Self-Propelled Nuclear Bomb?!

As the heatwave and hurricane subsided, Lin Zilong stood motionless, gun in hand, without moving an inch.

"As expected of a legendary psychic."

Bai Shuodong sighed.

That last strike was his all-out effort, but it still couldn't shake his opponent, not even by the slightest bit.

At the same time, Lin Zilong's expression was also quite interesting. He looked at Bai Shuodong as if he were looking at an irrational monster, and said incredulously, "What's wrong with you? How can your attack power be so strong?"

How strong is it?

Bai Shuodong tilted his head slightly. In fact, he didn't have much of a concept of the power of his attack. He only knew that it was very strong, but he didn't know exactly how strong it was.

"Um..."

Lin Zilong lowered his head and thought carefully. He had been a psionicist for more than two years, and his memory of what happened two years ago was not very clear. However, he still quickly replied, "A psionicist of the same level could withstand your move."

"What about the Tank line?"

"I'm talking about honesty."

"Oh."

Bai Shuodong roughly understood. It meant that below the legendary level, no one could withstand it, right?

It seems my attack power is quite strong.

"You're a warrior type, right? Why is your psionic energy so strong? I felt that over 70% of that attack was psionic damage; its power was ridiculously strong." Lin Zilong scrutinized him closely, his gaze growing increasingly suspicious.

"More than 70% of the damage is from psionic energy? Does that mean my physical damage isn't high?" Bai Shuodong asked in confusion.

"Um..."

Lin Zilong thought for a moment and said, "Uh, it doesn't feel very high. It's about the same as my normal attack power before I was awakened, so it's alright."

"The main problem is that the psionic power is too strong, it's really too powerful, my goodness, it feels at least ten times stronger than mine, hiss... you seem to be even more powerful than the Wizard!"

"Really? Physical damage accounts for such a small percentage? My Slow Burst can increase strength attribute by 100%." ​​Bai Shuodong frowned, feeling somewhat incredulous.

"Is a 100% strength boost really that powerful?"

"Isn't it strong?"

"hehe."

Lin Zilong smiled and said, "My talent is S-rank Divine Valor, which can permanently increase strength, agility, and constitution attributes by 30%. When attacking with a long weapon, it additionally increases strength by 50%, which is an independent multiplier. It also provides fixed immunity to 1% of maximum health damage and increases both physical and magical resistance."

What is 1.3 multiplied by 1.5 again?

It seems to be... 1.95.

Bai Shuodong fell silent. The increase in burst state from the B-grade talent [Slow Burst] was about the same as the passive increase effect of the S-grade talent [Unparalleled Courage]. Was this the difference between S-grade and B-grade?

Fortunately, after 20 years of experience, my psionic attack strength has completely surpassed that of my peers. Soaking in lava is still a very powerful technique.

"How's your total psionic energy? How many more attacks like that can you launch?" Lin Zilong asked tentatively.

From the very beginning, he sensed that Bai Shuodong's condition was a bit off. Logically speaking, after unleashing such a powerful attack, he should have been sweating and weakened, but this guy didn't seem to have any of that.

This is very wrong!

"Um..."

Bai Shuodong sensed the spiritual energy consumption within his body and then said, "I can probably fire about five shots. It consumes quite a lot. I don't usually use this much power, since I need extra time to charge it up."

"?"

In an instant, Lin Zilong's eyes widened in surprise. He was silent for a moment, then exclaimed, "What do you mean you can only fire five shots? What is your innate spiritual energy conversion rate?"

"One to ten."

Bai Shuodong replied.

"No, that's not right either! With your 4 points of spirit attribute, you only have 40 points of spiritual energy. An attack of this magnitude could not possibly only consume 8 points of spiritual energy. This conversion rate is too outrageous!"

Lin Zilong paced back and forth, feeling that this was illogical no matter how he thought about it. Finally, he said, "Come on, how about this? You use up all the spiritual energy in your body, and I'll see how fast your natural spiritual energy can recover."

"This... might not be correct?"

Bai Shuodong's lips twitched.

If his psionic energy is depleted too quickly, his short-term adaptation will be triggered.

"Bro, I'm begging you, this is the first time I've ever seen such an insanely high stat, it's outrageous!"

Lin Zilong held his hand, staring intently into his eyes, and said, "I can sign a spiritual contract to guarantee that I will not reveal information to others without your permission. I am really curious about just how fast your spiritual energy recovers."

"This..."

Bai Shuodong hesitated for a moment.

"Ugh!"

Lin Zilong sighed, then took out a jet-black longsword from his spirit realm storage space and handed it to Bai Shuodong, saying, "Brother, I'm a warrior, and I'm rather poor. I don't have anything good on me, so I'll give you this sword. Let me see just how high your spiritual energy level really is."

Holy crap!

Gold-grade one-handed sword!

And there are no equipment requirements!

You're telling me you're poor when you have such a good thing?

Suddenly, Bai Shuodong's expression warmed up instantly. He grabbed Lin Zilong's hand and said enthusiastically, "Hey, we're all brothers. It's just looking at attributes, what's the big deal? We're all brothers! Brother Long, from now on you're my real brother!"

As he spoke, he gently put away the gold-grade one-handed sword, his smile growing even wider.

測！

I tested him!

...

[Warning: Rapid psionic energy depletion detected; short-term adaptation triggered]

[Hint: Psionic energy regeneration speed increased]

Bai Shuodong did not meditate; he simply stood still and felt his spiritual energy rapidly recover. The weakness from depleted spiritual energy quickly disappeared, and a feeling of fullness rippled through his body.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

Lin Zilong looked at the values ​​displayed in the testing glasses, his expression becoming extremely interesting. Finally, he stammered, "No, really? You don't have any talent in the psionic series, do you? You're probably not wearing any equipment, right? Are you sure you haven't mastered any skills? Do you dare swear to the spirit world?"

"Alright, alright, I swear to the Spirit Realm, I absolutely do not wear any equipment that restores psychic energy, I do not have any psychic energy-related talents, and I do not have any skills that accelerate psychic energy recovery... Is that alright?" Bai Shuodong said helplessly.

[Note: A spiritual oath has been detected. The information is correct and the disciplinary mechanism has not been triggered.]

"No, there really isn't! Holy crap! Holy crap!"

Lin Zilong sat on the ground, his face filled with bewilderment, muttering to himself, "Recovering 2 points of psionic energy per second, what the hell is this? How is this any different from unlimited firepower? Is being able to fire five shots an understatement?"

"This psionic recovery, this attack power, how is this any different from a humanoid walking nuclear bomb? Even the Archmage isn't this outrageous!"

Chapter Sixty-Four: Hey! Time for dinner again!
