My talent panel can be increased

"By the way, you two are such good friends, how did you meet?" Xingran asked curiously.

"Good relationship? How did you figure that out?"

Tang Ruobing asked in confusion.

"You're sitting almost right next to other people, don't you feel anything?" Xingran asked, puzzled.

"Ok?"

Tang Ruobing looked down and suddenly realized that she and Ye Mingqiu were very close, their shoulders almost touching. But even at such a close distance, she didn't feel anything at all, as if she had already gotten used to it.

Upon noticing, she showed no signs of tension or panic, simply uttering an "oh," and that was it.

She simply replied, "We started out as online friends, chatted, and then happened to be assigned to the same college entrance exam preparation team. We got to know each other by studying and researching magic together."

"I see."

Xingran nodded slowly.

It turns out they met online. I guess after getting to know each other, they targeted Tang Ruobing's school, found a new identity, and finally successfully replaced the original owner, joining the college entrance exam preparation team by coincidence.

However, this guy is really ruthless. If he can take down an ancient god overlord of the same level single-handedly, it means that he has at least the strength of the first-tier limit. And now there is still a year before the college entrance examination. If he does not break through before the college entrance examination, the loss will probably be huge.

He's really ruthless!

The upper limit of ability allowed to enter through the college entrance examination is the first-tier limit. Those above the second tier cannot join, but they can be directly admitted to any university of their choice, skipping the college entrance examination process.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, high school students with second-tier strength are highly sought-after students by major universities. In order to recruit these students, major universities will provide them with a lot of top-tier resources and promise to do their best to cultivate them into top-tier psionicists.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, truly powerful and talented psychic beings do not need to take the college entrance examination; university professors will actively recruit them.

Xingran thought for a moment, then continued, "So what do you think is the most attractive or charming thing about him?"

Ye Mingqiu pricked up his ears; he was actually quite curious about the answer to this question as well.

Tang Ruobing glanced at him, then smiled knowingly and replied, half-jokingly, "Because I really like this kind of crazy person who looks exactly like a normal person."

"?"

Ye Mingqiu was puzzled for a moment, then said accusingly, "Hey, don't slander me. I'm a normal person, and I have nothing to do with being crazy."

"I was just kidding, don't take it to heart." Tang Ruobing smiled, shifted her weight to him, and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Ah~"

Ye Mingqiu looked at Tang Ruobing leaning against him and didn't want to blame her. He felt that it was probably because his battles during his exploration of the spirit world had been a little risky that she thought he was a bit crazy.

They might be targeting me on purpose.

On the other hand, Xingran saw it even more clearly: to force someone to stay in high school in order to have a relationship was already incredibly crazy.

To a normal person, this would be absolutely unbelievable, but Ye Mingqiu himself didn't seem to care. It seems this guy is indeed crazy, and the kind of crazy that's obsessed with love.

"Cough cough!"

Zheng Xuejun coughed twice, looked at Xingran with a strange expression, and said, "You can talk about things privately. This is an office. It's best to do business first."

"Tang Ruobing, Ye Mingqiu, I have something very important to discuss with this student. Please excuse us for a moment, okay?"

"no problem."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu and Tang Ruobing stood up at the same time and walked out of the dean's office side by side. Ye Mingqiu sighed and looked helplessly at Tang Ruobing beside him, saying, "Hey, hey, what's wrong with me? Do I look like a normal person? I'm perfectly normal, okay? You bad guy, you're slandering me outside!"

"Question: If you suddenly encounter a rival overlord of the same level during a critical exploration, what choice would you make?" Tang Ruobing asked directly.

"Kill him and loot the treasure chest."

Ye Mingqiu answered without hesitation.

"Ah."

Tang Ruobing smiled and shrugged.

"Hey! No, I only made this choice because I can beat the overlord. This isn't madness, it's the way to maximize profits!" Ye Mingqiu explained.

"Alright, if you were to encounter a ruler three levels higher than you, what would you choose?"

"He's only three ranks higher, let's beat him up!"

"Oh~"

Tang Ruobing's smile became even more meaningful. She tilted her head slightly and asked, "Haven't you considered what would happen if we couldn't win?"

"Why should we think about these things? If we're not focused on fighting, why are we thinking about these trivial matters? Isn't that suicide?" Ye Mingqiu said matter-of-factly.

"Didn't you ever consider that challenging a ruler three levels higher than yourself is tantamount to suicide?"

"Can that be the same!"

"Ugh!"

Tang Ruobing sighed helplessly and finally gave up on continuing the discussion. She was very certain of one thing: Ye Mingqiu's combat talent was extremely strong, and the best reason was that he was still alive.

If this guy had been even slightly less talented, he wouldn't have survived until now.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you sighing? It makes me sound like I'm being unreasonable. I just felt I could fight, so I made that choice. If I encountered a stronger enemy, I would probably choose to retreat, become stronger, and then challenge them again."

"Should?" Tang Ruobing turned her head and asked.

"Uh"

"Haven't you considered that the other party might possess some kind of strong control ability, or an extremely special curse? What if you fall into a trap and become unable to move, or be controlled by some kind of first-encounter killing skill? What if the other party has some kind of ability after death that can inflict negative effects on you by reducing your attributes?"

Tang Ruobing suddenly became serious and questioned Ye Mingqiu one after another, while walking closer to him with a sharp gaze like that of a hawk eyeing its prey.

She felt that Ye Mingqiu was underestimating the dangers and unpredictability of the spirit world, and that he needed to clearly understand the limitations of his own strength.

"Uh, I have high resistance, a lot of health, and recover quickly. Under normal circumstances, control and curses are useless against me. As long as the first-time kill skill can't kill me instantly, I can basically fight it off," Ye Mingqiu answered frankly.

"High resistance? Don't you know there's an attribute called resistance penetration? Don't you know there's an attribute called resistance ignore? How high do you have to be to act so recklessly? If you encounter an enemy with strong resistance penetration, you won't even know how you died."

Tang Ruobing turned around, waved her hand and said, "Come here, I'll show you just how strong resistance to penetration really is, and how insignificant your so-called resistance is in the face of penetration."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded.

Private training room

Tang Ruobing stood opposite Ye Mingqiu and manipulated the Spirit Realm interface to change the equipment to accessories that increased resistance to abnormal statuses.

These types of accessories are quite expensive, and curse-based classes have a strong need for them. Without resistance to penetration, they have a significant impact on strength. Tang Ruobing isn't a curse-based class, but she still prepares some of these items for unforeseen circumstances.

“I’m ready. You can use the skill that increases resistance to abnormal statuses now,” Tang Ruobing said.

"I mainly rely on my permanent resistance; I don't have any skills that temporarily boost my resistance," Ye Mingqiu said.

His only skill to increase resistance is the [Tyrant Form], which requires 100 points of battle spirit to activate and is not suitable for use in daily testing.

"Alright, then I'm going to start casting the spell."

Tang Ruobing slowly raised a brand-new black staff, her gaze slightly cold.

Although her outward expression remained unchanged, her inner reaction was actually quite strong. Permanent resistance and temporary resistance boosts from skills are completely different concepts. Skill-boosted resistance only means having more combat strategies, while permanent resistance means you are truly unafraid of being killed on the first encounter.

"Whoo~"

Tang Ruobing activated her spell, and a chilling aura instantly dissipated, causing the temperature in the space to drop drastically. Next, she would unleash Ice Seal, a skill that could directly freeze enemies into ice sculptures, rendering them completely immobile, while also inflicting both abnormal status effects and control effects.

If you only have abnormal status resistance but not enough control resistance, you will not be able to break through the control of the ice seal. Conversely, only by having both sufficiently high abnormal status resistance and control resistance can you successfully resist the effect of the ice seal.

"."

Ye Mingqiu was on high alert.

To be honest, he felt a little nervous. After all, Tang Ruobing was an 8th-level mage and had deliberately worn equipment that protected against abnormal status effects, so it was really possible for her to break through his resistance.

After all, he doesn't have many stacked abnormal status resistances; he only has five passive resistances that can be stacked: [Unparalleled Heroism], [Undying Tyrant], [Spiritual Energy - Holy Body], [Sequence - Holy Radiance], and [Crown of the Beast King]. That's basically one legendary class passive, plus two S-level talent passives, one S+ talent passive, and one equipment passive.

[Note: Shattered Star's use of 'Freeze' on you failed to determine your Strength/Constitution, resulting in a 10-second freeze effect.]

[Note: Your abnormal status resistance assessment was successful, your control resistance assessment was successful, you are immune to this control effect.]

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Ye Mingqiu only had a few shards of ice on him; other than that, it had no effect whatsoever.

"Ok?"

He tilted his head in confusion, looked at Tang Ruobing opposite him, and asked, "Resistance to penetration. That's it?"

Tang Ruobing was also stunned. Using the Ice Seal with specific equipment should have a very good effect. She could freeze even a level 10 overlord for two seconds, so how come Ye Mingqiu couldn't even be controlled for a moment? This is not right.

Isn't the Eye of Omargon only supposed to absorb curses? And I'm not using a curse, am I?

"Wait, just how high is your abnormal status resistance? My accessories have up to 8 points of penetration, and my weapon has a 5-point penetration bonus, so why isn't it having any effect?" Tang Ruobing asked incredulously.

The Eye of Omargon opened its eyes, revealing an extremely mocking gaze.

It's important to know that the Ancient Gods are the most powerful beings when it comes to curses. Their skills include not only resistance to penetration, but also resistance to corruption, resistance to ignoring, resistance to reduction, and a series of other effects, and these effects can stack.

However, even under these circumstances, Ye Mingqiu was still able to withstand it, killing the ancient god's remains from the world of Eludnis despite the screen-filling instant-death judgment. He could even completely ignore the curse of the Eye of Omargon, which possessed higher spirituality. This shows that his resistance was already at an unbelievable level.

Laugh to death!

Even the Ancient Gods' instant death ability can't kill them, and you think you can successfully control them with just a freeze spell? That's hilarious!

"It's okay, don't be sad. It's still pretty good to be cold," Ye Mingqiu comforted her.

Why does this sentence structure sound so familiar?

Tang Ruobing was briefly puzzled, then asked, "How exactly did you stack the resistance?"

"It's nothing. It's just that the new talent I gained from the Divine Evolution increases resistance, my previous talents also increase resistance, my class passive increases resistance, and I also consumed several treasures that stack abnormal status resistance," Ye Mingqiu replied after thinking for a moment.

"Outrageous. If I'm not mistaken, your abnormal status resistance is over 100 points. Even a second-tier negative status might not be able to control you. How could someone stack abnormal status resistance to this level? Is this even human?" Tang Ruobing muttered to herself, looking down.

However, if his resistance to abnormal statuses is already this high, coupled with his 7000 HP, it seems that he can really be reckless. What would be a deadly trap for others seems to have no effect on him.

after all

A level 10 hero's top tank probably only has five or six thousand HP.

The next moment, a very ominous thought suddenly popped into Tang Ruobing's mind: Could it be that I can no longer beat him now?

Thinking of this, her expression instantly turned serious. She quickly switched her equipment and said, "I'll have a brief spar with you. I'll try my best to test your strength. Just attack me with all your might."

"you sure?"

"I'm sure and sure."

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiu took out the Blood Spear, took a deep breath, and bent down to enter battle mode.

Meanwhile, Tang Ruobing on the other side had already switched equipment, staring intently at Ye Mingqiu, her heart pounding at its fastest.

"Whoosh!!"

In an instant, Ye Mingqiu moved first. His figure turned into a black afterimage and arrived in front of Tang Ruobing in a flash. [Raging Pursuit] was quietly activated.

At the same time, as he swung the blood spear, a terrifying crimson killing intent erupted instantly, and the terrifying aura unique to the [Killing Intent Wave] instantly enveloped Tang Ruobing, and the blood spear fell down as well.

"when!!"

A deep blue shield appeared instantly, and the necklace around Tang Ruobing's fair neck shone quietly. She raised her staff, and three completely different spells were formed simultaneously in an instant.

Triple casting?

Ye Mingqiu immediately realized something was wrong. His fighting instincts made him instantly move to the side, and the next moment, several ice spikes shot out from the ground where he was standing, but missed.

"You predicted it?"

Tang Ruobing frowned slightly, but wasn't too worried. She found that although Ye Mingqiu was very strong, he hadn't exceeded her control limits. It was just that his ability to ignore control and abnormal status effects made her feel troubled.

She had to subdue Ye Mingqiu without controlling him, and he just happened to have an incredibly long health bar and extremely fast recovery ability, making it very difficult to subdue him.

But it's not like we can't give it a try!

"A chaotic storm!"

"Break the ice!"

Several ice spikes shattered instantly, turning into countless tiny ice shards that rained down on Ye Mingqiu amidst the sweeping storm. Meanwhile, Tang Ruobing, standing on the ground, cast a third spell. She planted her staff on the ground, and the entire private training room instantly transformed into a frost-covered arena.

"Extremely cold region".

That way, I can.
