My career has infinite upgrades.

Chapter 99: The brand-new S-rank class, Ghost, with the class talent Soul Devouring Ghostly Pact, one person is a calamity!

Hearing the notification sound in her ear, Gu Qingwei was stunned for a moment.

I never expected that I could choose a reward after refining the essence blood.

It's probably due to systemic reasons related to career advancement.

There are two options: one is to obtain a secret technique of the Underworld Lord's bloodline, and the other is to unlock a brand new profession related to the Underworld Lord.

Gu Qing's mind raced.

Both options are excellent choices.

The Underworld Lord's Bloodline Secret Technique is said to be a trump card, capable of instantly boosting combat power.

However, another option is to start a completely new class. Although the immediate combat power will not increase as much, the potential will be greatly enhanced.

Moreover, Gu Qing's career can be continuously advanced.

A completely new profession will definitely bring far greater combat power growth in the later stages than the former.

After a brief moment of thought, Gu Qing made a decision.

"Start a brand new career!"

The instant Gu Qing made his decision, the dark essence blood that had been dormant in his limbs and bones suddenly exploded, transforming into extremely pure dark power that dissolved into Gu Qing's body.

Gu Qing grunted and withstood the impact of the force.

Within Gu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, a dark power was rapidly gathering.

A moment later, a brand new, jet-black professional mark took shape and floated in Gu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness.

The system notification sounds kept ringing in Gu Qing's ears.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have unlocked the S-rank class and begun a new job: Ghost.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the following class talent skills: Soul Devouring and Ghostly Pact]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the active combat skills: Soul-Devouring Claw and Ghostly Step]

Gu Qing was stunned, never expecting to directly obtain an S-rank profession.

He originally thought he would get the lowest-level F-rank job and then slowly improve it, but he didn't expect to get such a pleasant surprise.

Outside the refining array, Lin Lei looked at Gu Qing, a hint of joy on his face.

He sensed a completely new power emanating from Gu Qing, which seemed to be the power brought about by that bloodline.

A chilling, dark aura emanated from Gu Qing and spread rapidly in all directions.

Lin Lei raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise in his eyes.

This dark aura even made him feel a sense of fear; he felt a sense of superior beings looking down on inferior beings.

On the altar, Gu Qing didn't seem to notice anything amiss and immediately started checking the skills he had just acquired.

Soul Devourer

[Rank: Class Talent Skill]

Effect: Can devour the souls of slain enemies, increasing one's own soul strength and gaining soul fragments. Each enemy killed permanently increases all attributes by 0.01%.

Increasing soul strength enhances mental attributes.

Gu Qing's pupils suddenly contracted.

This Soul Devouring talent is simply heaven-defying!

Defeating enemies will permanently increase all your attributes, meaning your strength can grow indefinitely!

Although the percentage is relatively low, it is still a prestigious percentage increase, or even an increase in all attributes.

Furthermore, Soul Devouring can increase soul strength, and soul strength can increase mental attributes.

This means that as long as Gu Qing keeps killing enemies, all four of his basic attributes will increase rapidly, and his mental attribute will increase at an extremely fast rate.

Without hesitation, Gu Qing's gaze quickly fell on the next professional talent skill.

【Ghostly Pact】

[Rank: Class Talent Skill]

[Effect: Whenever you kill an enemy, there is a 20%~35% chance (based on the target's level and your own suppression power) to imprison their soul and forcibly contract them as a Netherworld Guardian (permanent existence, can be summoned/hidden at any time)]

[Note: The Underworld Guard retains 40% to 80% of its strength from its pre-death state (depending on its mental attributes at the time of killing the enemy)]

[Note: There is no limit to the number of Underworld Guardians.]

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment when he saw the ghostly contract.

Seeing this incredible skill effect, Gu Qing's breath hitched slightly, and then an uncontrollable surge of joy appeared on his face.

Each time you kill an enemy, there is a chance to contract their soul as a Netherworld Guardian!

This is definitely a massive troop production skill!

Most importantly, there is no limit to the number of Hades!

It's important to know that even necromancers have a limited number of undead they can summon.

You need to continuously upgrade your level and acquire more undead power in order to control more undead.

However, Gu Qing's Netherworld Contract has no limit on the number of times it can be obtained.

With this Ghostly Contract, he was able to build his own ghostly army.

Moreover, Gu Qing also has undead enslavement.

One transforms the physical body into the dead, the other transforms the soul into a guardian of the underworld.

One person is a natural disaster!

Gu Qing could already imagine himself leading an army of undead and ghosts in the future.

This Ghost truly lives up to its S-rank status; in fact, it could be said to surpass even some S-rank classes.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's SS rank.

Then, Gu Qing turned his attention to the two combat skills.

【Ghost Step: After use, greatly increases movement speed and makes the user's body ethereal, avoiding physical attacks. The ethereal form can also pass through enemy bodies; each time the user passes through an enemy, 2% of the target's maximum health is stolen and converted into healing for the user.】

[Skill Duration: 5 minutes; Cooldown: 10 minutes; Cost: 20 Spirit Points]

[Note: Ghost Step can be stopped at any time. Stopping before five minutes have elapsed reduces the cooldown time.]

Great skill!

A hint of excitement flashed in Gu Qing's eyes.

This Ghost Step is an amazing skill; it can be used to escape, chase, and even be used as a healing skill.

Soul-Devouring Claws: After use, the user's hands transform into ghostly claws, tearing at the target and dealing soul damage equal to 300% of their maximum spirit power.

Cooldown: None; Cost: 30 Spirit Points per use.

Seeing the effects of these two combat skills, Gu Qing became even more delighted.

Both are incredibly useful starting skills.

Ghost Step is extremely useful whether chasing enemies or escaping, and can even be used as a recovery and healing skill.

Although the cooldown time is a bit long, the long duration makes up for it.

The Soul-Devouring Claw is also an extremely powerful combat skill.

Although the skill description is very simple, the soul damage of 300% of mental strength is simply outrageous!

There are no tricks, it's all about numbers!

It's important to know that with Soul Devouring, one's soul strength can be continuously increased.

The higher the strength of the soul, the higher the spiritual level.

This means that the damage of the Soul Eater Claw will continue to increase.

Most importantly, the Soul-Devouring Claw has no cooldown time!

Of course, each use consumes 30 mental energy, so it's impossible to use it indefinitely.

However, as his mental strength continues to improve, he can use the Soul-Devouring Claw more frequently, and it may even become his usual method.

With this S-rank profession, Gu Qing's combat power has increased dramatically.

After reviewing all the skills, Gu Qing nodded in satisfaction and slowly opened his eyes.

Just as Gu Qing was about to step down from the altar, the occupational imprint in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly stirred.

The marks of the Netherworld Healer and the marks of the Wraiths seemed to be drawn together, and they quickly converged.

The two marks glued together in the next instant.

A vortex formed from the mingling of the undead and the ghosts.

A moment later, the vortex dissipated, but the two professional marks remained tightly interlocked and stuck together.

At the same time, a notification sound suddenly rang in Gu Qing's ears.

[Ding! The new class Ghost has been detected to share the same origin as the Undead class, and their powers are perfectly compatible.]

[Hidden mechanism triggered. Congratulations, host, for awakening unlimited dual-class derivative abilities!]

Gu Qing was completely stunned, never expecting such an effect.

Hidden mechanism.

Gu Qing quickly checked the effects of this unlimited feature.

[Unrestricted]

[Rank: Special]

[Effect: There will be no resistance or limit on the number of times you can take any beneficial potions, rare items, or spiritual fruits.]

Gu Qing's breathing hitched slightly, then an undisguised look of ecstasy appeared on her face.

This unlimited feature is absolutely fantastic!

The value of these three words is simply unparalleled.

It's important to know that ordinary professionals have a strict limit on the number of attribute-enhancing pills and essence supplements they can consume throughout their lives.

After all, the human body is like a container; consuming too much of this kind of thing can lead to drug resistance.

This lack of restrictions directly breaks the limitation of drug resistance.

With sufficient attribute-enhancing pills and essence supplements, Gu Qing's four basic attributes can be continuously improved.

With the added attribute bonuses from the Soul Devouring talent, Gu Qing's four basic attributes will grow to an incredibly high level.

After digesting everything, Gu Qing slowly walked down from the white jade altar.

Lin Lei looked at Gu Qing in front of him and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"How are you feeling?"

Hearing Lin Lei's question, Gu Qing replied directly, "Very good, the feeling of bloodline fusion is great."

"Moreover, although I haven't fused with angel blood essence, I feel that the current improvement is definitely better than if I had fused with angel blood essence."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lei's eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

They were able to forgo the more secure angelic bloodline, choose the unknown risks, and ultimately reap greater rewards.

This decisiveness and tenacity are something that ordinary people do not possess.

Lin Lei looked at Gu Qing, somewhat curiously, and asked, "Gu Qing, does this bloodline power have a name?"

Lin Lei was still very curious about this unknown essence blood.

Since Gu Qing absorbed this bloodline power, he should have some understanding of it.

Without hesitation, Gu Qing truthfully stated the name of this bloodline power: "Lord of the Underworld."

"Lord of the Underworld?" Linley frowned, having no recollection of the name.

"Never heard of it, it might be a powerful being from the depths of the abyss."

Lin Lei stopped pondering and looked at Gu Qing, instructing him, "Although the bloodline power has fused, it can't be fully absorbed in a short time. You need to digest this bloodline power properly."

Gu Qing nodded.

Then, Lin Lei looked at Gu Qing and continued, "By the way, the National Freshman Exchange Competition is probably starting soon, so you need to improve your skills during this time."

"You came in first place in the freshman competition, so you'll be leading the team. You'll have to take on a big responsibility."

Gu Qing's expression shifted slightly.

The National Freshman Exchange Competition, though called an exchange competition, is actually a battle for resources.

The higher the ranking, the more resources the university will allocate to the university in the following year.

After chatting for a while, Gu Qing left the principal's office building.

As Gu Qing returned to her dormitory, she began to calculate the accounts.

Now that he has unlimited resources, Gu Qing's most needed resources are attribute enhancement pills and essence supplements.

Looks like I need to earn more school points.

Attribute Enhancement Pills and Essence Supplements are both restricted items, sold in the school vault, but require a relatively high number of school points.

Attribute-enhancing pills and essence supplements are also sold on the black market, but at a very high price.

But you can also consider buying it.

Just then, I bumped into two people.

Irina and the wind chimes.

Fengling was dressed in a smart and tight-fitting outfit that perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

"Gu Qing!"

When Fengling saw Gu Qing, her bright eyes instantly lit up.

Fengling had always been very curious about Gu Qing.

She took the initiative to greet him, showing great enthusiasm.

In contrast to the wind chimes' enthusiasm, Irina, standing not far away, remained motionless.

Because Gu Qing treated Violet, whenever Irina sees Gu Qing now, the image of Gu Qing treating her mother involuntarily comes to mind.

This makes Irina feel very awkward in front of Gu Qing now.

Gu Qing looked at the two of them, smiled calmly, and nodded: "Where are you two headed?"

Unaware of her best friend's odd behavior, Fengling said enthusiastically, "We're about to head to Tiannan City's largest high-end pet market to see if we can find any satisfactory magical pets."

"By the way, Gu Qing, you don't have any magical pets either, right? Why don't we go take a look together? Maybe we can find a magical pet that suits you."

Pets are a way to increase combat power, so the pet business has always been very good.

Upon hearing the word "magical pet," Gu Qing's heart stirred slightly.

Although there is a level 30 Desert Undead Dragon, it is a bit too flashy.

Buying a regular monster as a mount is also a good option.

Besides, you can also check if there are any attribute-enhancing pills and essence supplements for sale outside.

With that in mind, Gu Qing nodded directly: "Okay, let's go take a look together."

The three walked side by side, chatting all the way, and soon arrived at the largest high-end pet trading market in Tiannan City.

Upon entering, a cacophony of noise greets you.

This is a main street that seems to stretch endlessly, with shops of all sizes and open-air iron cages on both sides, filled with all sorts of magical pets.

"Don't miss out! We just captured a Flame Tiger cub with a natural affinity for fire. It's only 200,000 energy crystals."

"Top-grade Blastoise, with maxed-out defense, is the perfect choice as a shield, now only requires 100,000 energy crystals."

"It takes two and a half years to grow one of these, and it has the bloodline of an ancient phoenix. Although it is very rare, it is cheap enough to cost only one million energy crystals."

The surrounding vendors were shouting and hawking their magical pets, making the whole market very noisy.

Gu Qing glanced at the pets and realized that some were real and some were fake; he should be careful not to be scammed.

For example, that guy who's been around for two and a half years is just a nobody. He probably doesn't even have the bloodline of a phoenix, let alone the bloodline of a black bird.

Fengling was very excited, wandering among the various stalls, constantly checking out the novel magical pets.

Irina kept her head down, looking somewhat awkward next to Gu Qing.

Her stunningly beautiful mixed-race face was flushed with an indelible blush. She would occasionally glance up at Gu Qing before quickly looking away.

Gu Qing kept looking around at the magical pets, wanting to see if there were any suitable ones for her.

Besides magical pets, there are also some shops selling other items here.

Gu Qing kept checking, but unfortunately found no trace of attribute enhancement pills or essence supplements.

As the three ventured deeper into the area, the quality of the surrounding pet shops visibly improved.

Soon, the three arrived at a very luxuriously decorated pet shop.

Beast Pavilion!

The name is very imposing, and this is definitely the largest pet store on this street.

Wind Chime was attracted by one of the green birds, which was about half a person's height, and quickly went inside.

Gu Qing and Irina followed.

When his gaze fell on the blue bird, a strange light appeared in Gu Qing's eyes.

The blue bird's feathers resembled flowing blue gems, and with each breath, its body was surrounded by rich wind-elemental energy fluctuations.

The man with the airflow addressed the shop owner directly, asking, "What kind of magical pet is this? How much does it cost?"

The fat boss standing to the side looked at Gu Qing and the other two wearing Jinling Academy student uniforms and greeted them with a fawning smile.

"Young lady, you have a good eye. This is our store's prized possession, a pure-blooded Azure Phoenix with a trace of Vermilion Bird blood in its body."

"Moreover, this purebred Azure Phoenix has already been instilled with a master-servant contract. After purchase, signing the contract will grant it 100% loyalty to you."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling's eyes lit up instantly; she really liked this magical pet.

"How much?"

The portly boss rubbed his hands together, then held out a palm: "Five million energy crystals, no cheating."

Gu Qing's eyes flickered slightly. The price was a bit high, but not outrageous.

Many people around were also drawn over by the boss's voice.

"This is the first time I've seen a blue phoenix with such high purity. If it were to reach a higher level, it would definitely be a powerful asset in battle."

"Unfortunately, the price is a bit high, five million energy crystals. If you don't particularly like this Azure Phoenix, you can buy a better pet."

"Not necessarily. Although this Azure Phoenix is ​​overpriced, it's still okay. It's a pity I don't have the money. If I did, I would have just bought it."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Fengling, who was already tempted, no longer hesitated and took out a black card.

"There are five million energy crystals in here. I want this Azure Phoenix."

The portly boss smiled broadly as he accepted the black card, then handed a talisman to Feng Ling.

"This is a contract. A drop of blood will allow you to sign a contract with the Azure Phoenix."

Fengling nodded without hesitation, dripped a drop of blood onto the bird, and signed a contract with the Azure Phoenix.

The blue phoenix cried out once, then lowered its head and rubbed against the wind chime.

Fengling gently rubbed the blue phoenix's head, her eyes filled with joy.

Gu Qing, who was standing to the side, withdrew her gaze and was about to leave when a thought suddenly struck her.

He felt a resonance with his soul.

Gu Qing turned her head instantly, her gaze falling on a pile of pet eggs not far away.

That spiritual resonance grew stronger and stronger.

Gu Qing strode forward and arrived in front of the pile of pet eggs.

These are pet eggs ready for sale; this pile of pet eggs looks very appealing.

The prices listed above are not low either.

One pet egg costs 100,000 energy crystals.

Gu Qing's eyes quickly searched and soon landed on a gray and black pet egg.

The soul resonance originated from this pet egg.
