Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots

Chapter 77: Chapter 75: Wilderness Hunter, Weapon Master, Heart-Eating Shaman...

Trish furrowed her brows slightly, seemingly anticipating something: ”You mean...”

”Slave duel.” Cynthia proudly announced, ”As one of the sequence members, you surely won’t refuse such a legitimate display of power, will you?”

The crowd instantly boiled over. Slave duels were not uncommon in the school, but a high-standard duel between two Candidate Wizard geniuses was quite rare.

”A slave duel showcases an apprentice’s ability to train and guide, and is also an important way for sequence members to demonstrate their capabilities and improve their ranking points.”

Norris continued to explain, flaunting his knowledge to Ron beside him:

”Cynthia’s move is clever; if Trish refuses, it will be seen as cowardice, and her sequence points will definitely be deducted. If she accepts, given Cynthia’s long-trained Half-Beastman Warrior’s strength, Trish has almost no chance of winning.”

Trish was silent for a moment, a series of complex emotions flashing in her eyes. Finally, she took out a pouch of Magic Stone Fragments from her robe as Witness Gold:

”Since the senior suggested resolving this via a slave duel, I naturally abide by the school’s traditions.”

”Straightforward.” Cynthia showed a confident smile, also taking out a pouch of Magic Stone Fragments from her bosom:

”With so many colleagues present, everyone will witness today’s result.”

Trish turned around and signaled from the back of the crowd.

A petite female servant immediately led out a figure bound in chains.

It was a Leopard Race Huntress. Her physique, superior to most human women, was barely over 1.8 meters tall, fully covered in spotted short fur, and her muscle lines were smooth and powerful.

Her pupils were vertically elongated, shining coldly in the sunlight, with sharp fangs subtly appearing from her slightly pursed lips, and her slender tail gently swung with vigilance.

”Li Yue, today is the day to show your true worth.”

Trish said softly, with a rare hint of gentleness in her tone: ”Remember our training, focus on the battle itself.”

The Leopard Race Huntress nodded slightly, a trace of resolute determination flashing in her eyes.

Trish took out a small bottle from her bosom, containing a deep red liquid, especially concocted by Ron for her, the Bloodline Activation Agent.

”Drink it.” Trish ordered, ”Don’t worry about too many side effects; this formula has been improved.”

The Leopard Race Huntress accepted the bottle and drank it all. As the Potion entered her mouth, a stunning transformation began on her body —

The spots on her skin began to glow, gradually changing from pale gold to molten orange-red, as if starlight flowed beneath her skin.

Her muscle lines became more solid and strong, and the joints even flickered with golden light.

The most astonishing feature was her eyes; the original vertical pupils fully turned into pure gold, shimmering like molten gold, resembling two small suns.

She took a few deep breaths, adapting to the new power surging within her.

Ron watched the Leopard Race Huntress’s transformation, filled with awe.

Though the Potion was his own modulation, the effect now displayed far exceeded his expectations.

Evidently, the Leopard Race Huntress possessed an extremely high bloodline purity, able to be fully activated by the Bloodline Activation Agent.

At this moment, Li Yue’s aura was completely different from before, exerting such pressure that even some experienced apprentices felt uneasy.

”That should be... a complete bloodline awakening!” Norris exclaimed in surprise, explaining to Ron beside him:

”It’s said that only the Monarch Bloodline among the Leopard Race can achieve such a degree!”

Ron saw this scene, his mind rapidly flashing various information regarding Beast Race bloodline professions.

Wilderness Hunter, Weapon Master, Heart-Eating Shaman, these are all extraordinary professions closely related to Beast Race bloodlines.

Each has its unique power system and advancement path. It is said that the outstanding ones among them can rival an Official Wizard.

The bloodline activation displayed by the Leopard Race Huntress was already approaching the entry threshold for the Wilderness Hunter profession.

Moreover, the upper limit of extraordinary professions in Beast Race isn’t low. The legendary ”Monarch” can even contend with a Great Wizard...

”If I can acquire related extraordinary knowledge and training methods...”

Ron pondered, ”Perhaps I could also unlock similar profession paths as alternatives. However, compared to them, Wizard, Knight, and Alchemist are still my optimal choices.”

Cynthia, witnessing the Leopard Race Huntress’s after-effects of bloodline activation, merely sneered, likewise waving her hand towards the rear.

A burly servant in a gray robe emerged, leading a daunting Half-Beastman Warrior.

This Half-Beastman stood over 2.5 meters tall, like a small mountain with skin of gray-green color covered in scars from various battles.

His lower jaw was unusually developed, with two tusks protruding upwards from the corners of his mouth, his arms robust as tree trunks, each muscle swelling like iron, and his eyes deeply sunken beneath rugged brow bones, exuding beastly fierceness.

”Grush.” Cynthia stepped before the Half-Beastman, signaling him to crouch down.

She raised her hand, gently stroking his heavily muscle-bound cheek, her voice filled with an irresistible commanding aura: ”Today you must secure victory for me, otherwise...”

The remaining words were unsaid, but a flash of fear appeared in the Half-Beastman’s eyes, clearly understanding the consequences of failure.

Cynthia took out a Crystal Stone Fragment, glowing with a blood-like hue from the inside of her robe, forcibly shoving it into the Half-Beastman’s mouth.

”Frenzy Crystal Stone!” Norris whispered in surprise, ”That’s forbidden to use in official duels as an augmentation item!”

The Half-Beastman swallowed the Crystal, his Adam’s apple sliding as he gulped it down.

Soon, his skin began to emit a faint blood-red glow, muscles visibly enlarging, and his gaze became even more frenzied.

”That’s cheating.” Ron frowned and said, ”Isn’t anyone stopping this?”

”Theoretically, it’s prohibited, but many Advanced Apprentices familiar with the rules know how to exploit loopholes.” Norris sighed:

”As long as it’s not used blatantly during the fight and caught, this pre-duel preparation is often hard to prove afterward. After all, slave duel rules inherently allow masters to provide slaves with some enhancements prior to the duel, and there’s no clear restriction on the types and limits of enhancements.”

He glanced at the Half-Beastman, whose muscles swelled, and aura frenzied almost beyond control, and shook his head in pity:

”Only using such doses so early wanting to maintain the effect during the fight would require a significant amount. This Half-Beastman, even if victorious, probably won’t live for much longer.”

Meanwhile, Cynthia had already walked to the center of the field, loudly proclaiming:

”Ladies and gentlemen, according to school tradition, we shall resolve our dispute through a slave duel. The winner will gain priority access to the Ancient Astrology Books, and as an official duel between Candidate Wizard sequence members, the result will count towards sequence point evaluation.”
