Chapter 654: The Bestowal of Order
Princess Alice did not leave the city to join the battle because she was the controller of the city’s protective barrier.
If anything happened to her, the situation could become precarious.
Currently,
Ling Zhan leading the reserve squad against the Jade Bottle Man and the Bloodthirsty Child had become the focal point for everyone on the city walls.
“Hmm? Looks like we’re being underestimated...”
“The allied forces only sent a bunch of weaklings to block us?”
The Jade Bottle Man’s handsome yet sinister face curled into a disdainful sneer.
In his perception…
There wasn’t a single hundred-level, fourth-tier powerhouse among them!
The highest level was only 99!
More importantly…
Even that 99-level professional was merely a subordinate.
Leading the group was a mere 97-level boy!
Hmm!?
Wait…
This boy had no Class!!
The appraisal information read: 【Class: None】!
This…
This boy hadn’t changed Classs!!
What was going on?
Not only the Jade Bottle Man, but even the Bloodthirsty Child and the other ghost generals were equally astonished!
“He really hasn’t changed Classs. What’s with this kid?”
“How peculiar. How did he reach level 97 without a Class!?”
“This is a first for me too!”
The ghost generals all frowned deeply.
The Jade Bottle Man and the Bloodthirsty Child fixed their gazes on the young man, trying to discern anything unusual.
Yet, apart from his striking appearance and temperament, the young human seemed unremarkable.
They couldn’t sense any Class-related aura or attribute fluctuations from him.
Could it be…
He really was just a weakling?
Damn it!
No matter!
Whatever he was, today, Grovet City would fall!!
“Attack!!”
Without hesitation, the Jade Bottle Man commanded the charge!
Boom!!
The ghost generals immediately charged at the reserve squad members!
Ling Zhan remained expressionless, calmly waving a hand.
Zhou Xue’er, Ying Tong, and the other squad members roared and charged fiercely at the ghost generals!
It was obvious…
Unless the Jade Bottle Man and the Bloodthirsty Child personally intervened, the ghost generals were no match for the reserve squad.
The reserve squad members were all elite professionals, handpicked from countless candidates across various nations.
Moreover, they were graduates from top-tier academies.
As for the ghost generals…
While strong and formidable, they were still no match for Zhou Xue’er and the others.
The squad’s equipment was top-notch, adorned with superior-grade spirit tools in armor, accessories, and weapons.
Furthermore, Ling Zhan’s arrival had sparked a wave of intense self-improvement within the squad, pushing them to train relentlessly.
Previously complacent squad members were now experiencing exponential growth in their abilities.
Additionally…
Ling Zhan had personally coached and sparred with them.
Under such conditions…
Enemies like the ghost generals, once challenging, now seemed like mere fodder to the squad.
Unsurprisingly…
The reserve squad members, now significantly stronger, immediately displayed overwhelming dominance in the clash!
Hum!!
Zhou Xue’er, as a third-tier Netherworld Celestial Sovereign Taoist, wielded a brush in one hand and drew talismans with the other. Each talisman that landed on the ghost generals exploded spectacularly!
Her talisman-drawing technique had been refined and enhanced, producing three explosive talismans per second with immense power.
The other squad members showcased their abilities, diving into the ghost general ranks with fierce killing intent, unleashing a slaughtering frenzy!!
Crash!!
The Jade Bottle Man and the Bloodthirsty Child watched grimly as their ghost general army crumbled before the reserve squad.
What was going on!!
Why had this cursed reserve squad grown so ridiculously strong!?
They had encountered the squad before…
Knowing it was a mid-level force within the allied armies, they had deemed its strength respectable but not extraordinary.
But wasn’t this too much?
In just a short while, their ghost generals were being slaughtered like cabbage by the squad!
This was absurd!
“Damn it…”
The Jade Bottle Man’s expression turned sour.
In less than thirty seconds, a fifth of their ghost generals had been annihilated.
And the squad showed no signs of faltering.
“Enough hesitation! Let’s take action! Kill that Classless brat and then deal with the rest!”
The Bloodthirsty Child could no longer hold back.
“Agreed!”
The Jade Bottle Man nodded.
His gaze locked onto the emotionless Ling Zhan.
Though they were only level 102 and 105 respectively, barely at the hundred-level threshold, they wielded the power of Order!
‘Order Bestowal’!
This was a passive skill available to all fourth-tier professionals upon reaching level 100!
However…
As ghost generals, they naturally could not undergo tier transitions.
But that was their unique advantage.
The creatures of the Four Forbidden Zones, mythical beasts, and other special entities did not require tier transitions. Upon reaching level 100, they automatically gained the passive skill ‘Order Bestowal’ without undergoing the trials.
【Order Bestowal (SS): Every ten seconds, you can enhance any skill with the power of Order.】
Notes:
1. A skill enhanced by Order, even an F-tier skill, will gain the power and effects of an SS-tier skill.
2. This skill’s cooldown cannot be reset by time-manipulation abilities.
3. Order Bestowal can only enhance skills below SS-tier.
4. When two Order-enhanced skills collide, the outcome is determined by the users’ attributes and the base level of the skills.
………
This was the defining advantage of fourth-tier professionals!
An SS-tier skill every ten seconds!
Even without possessing SS-tier skills before level 100, this passive skill essentially granted one.
Moreover, the power of Order could also be applied to ‘curses’ or declarations, effectively allowing one to impose magical decrees.
Currently…
Two hundred-level ghost generals were confronting a 97-level Classless individual.
It was evident…
The Classless individual was at a significant disadvantage.
Even after witnessing Ling Zhan’s feats in the legendary trial dungeons, Princess Alice and others couldn’t help but feel deeply concerned.
