My talent panel can be increased

Of course, his role as a support is secondary. More importantly, his fighting style doesn't rely on spells for primary damage output, as that would be too wasteful of mana for him. It's better to maintain sufficient mana to sustain the 30% strength and agility boost from [Psionic Energy - Full].

Therefore, the most suitable spells for him to learn are amplification spells and utility spells. Amplification spells can increase buffs and improve combat power. Utility spells can provide functional assistance in different situations, such as casting a light spell when fighting in the dark.

Chapter 62 The Truth Revealed

"Okay, I'll look for it for you when I get home."

Tang Ruobing nodded in response.

"Thanks."

Ye Mingqiu expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Actually, before asking Tang Ruobing, he had searched online himself, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any useful spells. Most of what appeared online were very basic, general-purpose spells, nothing of real value.

Studying the legal system and becoming a mage not only has an economic threshold, but also a knowledge threshold. After all, for a mage, knowledge is power.

Having a mage friend was undoubtedly a huge help in learning common spells.

"Ah."

Tang Ruobing nodded and asked, "Do you have any extra food? I mean, food from the spirit realm. Could you share some with me next time we gather?"

"can."

While inwardly marveling at how poor this guy really was, Ye Mingqiu couldn't help but glance at his own storage space. Looking at the dazzling array of food and the mountain of various household items, his feelings were incredibly complicated.

“I won’t take advantage of you for nothing. I can talk to you about your spellcasting before they arrive.”

"First of all, why do you close your eyes when casting spells? In real combat, closing your eyes means you can't accurately pinpoint the target's location, which is a major taboo in actual combat. You must train your concentration until you can cast spells while observing your opponent's actions in combat and use different strategies for different situations."

"Secondly, your spellcasting accuracy is also a big problem, wasting a lot of unnecessary psionic energy. Nearby psionic energy requires skill; you need to feel the rhythm of the spell, feel its breath, and control it according to its rhythm."

Afternoon, 3:57

Lei Peng, Ke Fanxing, and Lin Feng arrived at the meeting right on time. As soon as they entered, they saw Tang Ruobing and Ye Mingqiu sitting in the rest area discussing magic theories, practicing their spells as they talked.

"Don't close your eyes, don't look away, look into my eyes, and then cast the spell. Turn the spellcasting into a fighting instinct, rather than a deliberate action," Tang Ruobing said, staring directly into Ye Mingqiu's eyes.

Then, to the utter astonishment of the three people beside him, Ye Mingqiu watched as Tang Ruobing condensed a blazing flame in her hand, the sound of burning echoing in the frozen air.

"What did I see?"

Lei Peng's lips twitched, and he turned to look at his good buddy beside him, only to see that Ke Fanxing and Lin Feng were also in disbelief and shock.

What did they see?

A support character used a spell! And it was a spell that they learned on their own!

Immediately afterwards, the deep red fireball shot out at high speed, accompanied by a whooshing sound, and crashed into the target in the private training room, on which Ye Mingqiu's face was imprinted.

"boom!!"

The flames exploded instantly, leaving charred marks on the target and producing a loud booming sound.

"Have we taken the wrong road?"

Ke Fanxing said with an awkward laugh.

"That's right. That's right! That's exactly how it should be!"

Lin Feng suddenly spoke excitedly, as if he had discovered a new continent, saying, "I understand. I understand everything!"

"What do you unserstand?"

"Ye Mingqiu was never a good-for-nothing from the beginning. His low grades in auxiliary theory were not because he didn't study hard, but because he devoted almost all his time to studying spell theory. Moreover, he was a magic genius! He had already learned to cast spells before becoming a psionicist!"

Lin Feng was breathing rapidly, his face was flushed, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his stomach.

"Nani?"

"real or fake?"

Lei Peng and Ke Fanxing still didn't believe it.

So Lin Feng continued to explain, saying, "Didn't you ever have any doubts? No matter how suitable the talent is, it's impossible for an ordinary support character to obtain a hero-level class, right? Is that reasonable? Is that even possible?"

“There is only one answer.”

"He's been waiting for this opportunity! He's known the boss from the very beginning, and his successful entry into the college entrance exam preparation team was no accident. The baptism of the Fountain of Life was also something he had anticipated. Everything was within his calculations! And what he's after now is the monthly exam!"

Lin Feng became more and more excited as he spoke, pulling the two people next to him to continue, "Do you know what? Having a hero-level support in a team makes all the difference!"

"Their support is elite-level, while ours is hero-level, two whole tiers higher. After a little time to develop, we can easily secure the victory! We'll get more resources and go to a better university!"

No wonder. No wonder.

Lei Peng suddenly realized what was going on. He pulled the two aside and continued, "Let me tell you, before you came, I was chatting frivolously with Ye Mingqiu alone, and the boss found out and gave me a good beating."

“At the time, I didn’t think much of it. I thought the boss was just paying attention to the new teammate and there was nothing special about it. But now that I’ve heard what you said, I think it’s entirely possible that the boss has a crush on him and their relationship might be more than just ordinary.”

"Exactly, exactly. I also felt that their relationship seemed unusual before. It didn't seem like they were meeting for the first time. Although they were putting on an act on the surface, there were many subtle details that couldn't be faked. Last time during the reunion, the boss actually gave him equipment because of his talent, and this guy even wrote the boss an IOU without hesitation."

Ke Fanxing stroked her chin, continuing to ponder, and said, "That feeling... is like having received many favors before, and not wanting to continue to owe them."

"That's it."

"By the way, I heard about it from his class."

"There's more."

"Damn, you just rested in the infirmary for two hours? Impressive stamina!"

"Of course! Anyone who gets a Hero-level class is an exceptional individual. This guy may look like an ordinary, skinny support, but he's probably better than you in a one-on-one fight!"

"Can't afford to offend them, can't afford to offend them."

The three brothers got more and more excited as they talked, as if they had endless topics to discuss. They felt they had completely seen the truth of the matter and even started speculating about their private lives, which became increasingly outrageous.

"What are you talking about?"

Tang Ruobing suddenly shouted, her gaze toward the three of them somewhat unfriendly.

"Ah, it's nothing, we were just saying that Brother Qiu can actually use magic, it's amazing! How can there be such a powerful support character? He's practically the best support character ever!" Lei Peng explained with a smile.

"Yes, yes, we don't understand any of the spells and incantations you're talking about. We're afraid of disturbing your studies if we get too close, so we're too embarrassed to approach you," Lin Feng explained.

“Me too,” Ke Fanxing said.

"Hmph, come over for the meeting."

Tang Ruobing snorted lightly, not taking it to heart, and said coldly, "There are very important things to discuss at this meeting, so everyone be serious."

"Good~"

"I know~"

Chapter 63 A Bold Plan

Soon, everyone took their seats in the rest area. Lei Peng and his two brothers sat on the sofa, each one smiling more happily than the last, as if they had already foreseen the final victory a few months later.

Tang Ruobing coughed twice, cleared her throat, and said, "The order has been given from above to start the first team battle on the third of next month."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent. The three brothers, who had been laughing just moments before, instantly turned miserable, slumping on the sofa with a look of utter despair, as if they had already foreseen their defeat and being brutally slaughtered.

There's no way around it; in the early game, with such a huge level and class difference, the enemy mage can treat them like toys.

"So this meeting is going to revolve around team battles, right?" Ye Mingqiu asked.

"Yes, just play normally. The level difference is a bit big right now, so it's best to avoid it for now."

"understood."

Ye Mingqiu nodded in response, but a fighting spirit remained hidden in his heart.

The level difference between him and the enemy mage was too great. If they were to fight head-on, he probably wouldn't even be able to break through the enemy's magic shield, let alone make a single move.

However, his current role is support, and he is only level 1, so it is only natural that he is being looked down upon. If he doesn't get a chance, so be it, but if the other party gives him that chance, he will never let it go easily.

Do you want to win?

Tang Ruobing suddenly asked.

The expressions on everyone's faces changed abruptly, and Lin Feng was the first to answer: "Of course, if we can win, who would want to lose?"

"Yes, yes."

"Tell me your ideas, boss, and I'll definitely cooperate fully!" Lei Peng said with a grin.

"."

Tang Ruobing was silent for a moment, her light blue eyes sweeping over everyone before she finally said seriously, "Let me make this clear beforehand: my method is not guaranteed to succeed, and it can only be used once. It will definitely fail the second time. If you are not confident, you can use it next month."

What do you want us to do?

Ye Mingqiu asked simply and concisely.

"Can you block the attacks of the five opponents for about ten seconds without me interfering with them?" Tang Ruobing asked in a deep voice.

"Ten seconds? You mean, you want us to last ten seconds against an eighth-level mage and a bunch of teammates? And you won't even make a move?"

"This is a bit too difficult."

"Yes."

Seeing the troubled look on everyone's faces, Tang Ruobing slowly continued, "What if Feng Xinglie isn't at his full power? His spellcasting ability will gradually weaken. Are you still confident then?"

“If that’s the case, then it seems like it’s not impossible to give it a try, but I feel the chances of failure are very high, it’s still a bit too difficult,” Lei Peng said, rubbing his chin.

“Indeed, even if his spellcasting ability weakens over time, it will be difficult for us to withstand the first wave of attacks. If he launches a concentrated attack on you, none of us here can withstand it,” Lin Feng added.

"What do you think, Brother Qiu?" Ke Fanxing turned to Ye Mingqiu, who was silent to the side, and asked.

"It's not completely hopeless."

Ye Mingqiu looked up and answered, then looked at Tang Ruobing and said, "If you really want to withstand it, I can also withstand a little bit of damage and protect you for a while. It's not a big problem."

"Holy shit, is it true?"

"Are there any masters?"

"I knew this guy was something special, definitely not an ordinary support!"

Tang Ruobing stared at him and asked, "Could you briefly prove it to me? If it's inconvenient, it's okay not to show it."

"It's not very convenient to use as a trump card, but it can still help you temporarily block a few attacks," Ye Mingqiu replied with a smile.

Hilarious! If Tang Ruobing saw that he had 1599 HP at level 1, she'd probably jump up in shock on the spot. After all, a level 3 Lord-level tank like Lei Peng only has around 700 HP, and his level 1 HP is already more than double that of Lei Peng, a number significantly higher than that of a Hero-level tank.

He possesses a numerical beauty.

Ye Mingqiu not only has high health, but also high defense. First of all, he wears heavy armor with the highest base defense of all types. Secondly, he has also learned the basic constitution skill, which directly leveled up to level 3. His constitution is as high as 20.8. In addition, he has the passive skill of 16 points of fixed damage reduction, making him extremely tanky.

In the world of the Crimson Shadow Era, even six level 3 boss-level BOSSes couldn't defeat him, so Ye Mingqiu was quite confident in his ability to withstand damage.

"Well, I see."

Tang Ruobing nodded in response, her expression gradually becoming serious, and continued, "Are you confident that you can kill Feng Xinglie, who is unable to cast spells, within 30 seconds?"

"Ok?"

"Boss, it's me?"

"???"

The three of them had no confidence at the moment, but they couldn't be blamed for that. After all, even if Feng Xinglie couldn't cast spells, he was still a genuine level 8 expert with very high basic attributes and a constitution of at least 30-40.

After all, besides spirit, constitution is the only useful stat for mages. Under normal circumstances, a typical mage will also add some constitution to improve their margin for error, since no one wants to be instantly killed in close combat.

Although there is a magic shield, it's always good to have more room for error by improving physical constitution.

"Are you sure you have 30 seconds?" Ye Mingqiu asked.

“That’s right.” Tang Ruobing nodded in reply, her expression extremely solemn and serious.

In 30 seconds, a mage with a constitution of only 30-40 who was unable to cast spells was killed.

What kind of roadside stall is this!

Suddenly, Ye Mingqiu laughed, his smile incredibly broad, his surging fighting spirit seemingly about to overflow. This guy isn't even worthy of uttering a peep from me!

Weak and poor! Weak and poor! Weak and poor!!

Now the problem becomes very simple: if I were to use all my strength to defeat someone like this, it would be a waste of my power! He doesn't even deserve a peep!
