Chapter 93: Activating the Skill Book, Awakening the New Skill—Armor of Light

Yang Feng’s mental power had already far surpassed all his other attributes.

Soon after, Yang Feng finally saw the attribute bonuses of the set. This set provided an extra boost of 1,000 points to mental power. The Divine Sword, Divine Robe, and Divine Chain together increased his mental power by nearly 3,000 points.

“These points were spent so well!” Yang Feng felt that the more than ten thousand points he had used were absolutely worth it.

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, Yang Feng left the trading hall. From beginning to end, he hadn’t said a single word. Yet as he departed, a trace of delight appeared on his face.

“This guy really is an odd one!”
“Yeah! He spent so many points just to buy a set that boosts mental power, and he’s actually so pleased about it!”
“But I think the set looks great! Look at his Divine Robe and Divine Sword, their appearance is really stunning!”
“What good is good looks? For us professionals, the most important thing is strength!”
“Exactly! No matter how pretty it is, can it defeat a boss?”
“Maybe he’s just a fool with too much money. If I had those ten thousand points, imagine what I could do!”
“...”

After leaving the trading hall, Yang Feng went straight to the skill training hall.

Qingbei University had established a dedicated skill training hall, employing array masters to construct special formations. In the skill training hall, not only could one accelerate skill cultivation, but also increase the chance of awakening innate skills.

Of course, this was just a rumor; no one knew for sure if it was reliable. Still, many students chose to use skill books in the training hall.

The skill training hall was divided into three tiers: first, second, and third. Just like entering a dungeon, entering the skill training hall required not only points but also a level restriction.

Yang Feng was currently only level 21, so he could only access the basic skill training hall. It cost 80 points for an hour of training in the basic hall.

Yang Feng finally understood why the school had a dedicated skill training hall, yet many students still practiced their skills outside.

The price of 80 points per hour was truly steep! And this was only the basic hall—the intermediate hall charged 800 points per hour, and the advanced hall cost 8,000 points per hour.

Yang Feng had heard from Gu Panpan that Qingbei University supposedly had a top-level skill training hall, but it had not yet opened to the public.

Yang Feng paid 80 points and entered the basic skill training hall.

The hall was a private space, about forty square meters—neither too large nor too small, just right for skill training. Inside, there were some pieces of equipment for training purposes.

Standing in the hall, Yang Feng sensed a different atmosphere.

After leveling up, summoning a silver-grade Crow Warrior required 600 points of mental power. Even after spending some time in the trading hall, he had only recovered a little mental power, and the recovery rate was extremely slow.

But now, inside the training hall, even without sitting in meditation, his mental power recovered at a rate comparable to meditative rest. If he meditated here, his recovery speed would multiply several times over.

With this, Yang Feng no longer needed to worry about running out of mental power while cultivating his skills, and his training speed would naturally increase dramatically.

“If I summon Crow Warriors here and meditate to restore mental power, wouldn’t I be able to quickly fill up all my Crow Warriors?”

Yang Feng pondered this—indeed, it was a sound plan, but now was not the time to summon Crow Warriors.

He took out a beginner’s skill book and chose to activate it.

The book transformed into a white ball of light, which entered Yang Feng’s body. Moments later, the white light vanished without a trace; nothing happened.

Yang Feng did not acquire any skill—the attempt had failed.

But this was within Yang Feng’s expectations; awakening a skill was never easy.

Gu Panpan had once said that someone spent as many as five hundred beginner skill books to awaken all his skills at level thirty.

Yang Feng hoped he wouldn’t be so unlucky. He activated another beginner skill book.

The white orb glowed again, and Yang Feng noticed it seemed to be composed of countless clusters of light, beautiful to behold.

In that moment, Yang Feng was reminded of past evenings spent on the rooftop with his sworn sister Ning Qingcheng, gazing at the moon. Those were precious, beautiful times for him, and he cherished them deeply.

Suddenly, one of the clusters of light shone brightly.

It turned into a beam and entered Yang Feng’s body.

[Congratulations, you have acquired the skill: Armor of Light]

[Armor of Light (Level 1): Summon armor composed of radiant light, increasing defense by 200 points, lasting ten minutes!]

The Cursed Master was also considered a branch of the mage profession; though somewhat different from ordinary mages, there were similarities between them. Mages had protective shield skills, and so did Cursed Masters—thus, the Armor of Light appeared.

The defense increase of 200 points seemed modest, but with Yang Feng’s skill amplification, his defense could rise severalfold.

Effectively, it was like having 2,000 points of defense—a veritable walking fortress.

For professionals at level 20, even if Yang Feng didn’t fight back, they couldn’t defeat him.

Most importantly, this skill could be used not only on himself, but also on others. So, as long as he was part of a team, the entire group’s defense would be greatly enhanced.

This skill compensated perfectly for Yang Feng’s own weak defense.

Yang Feng raised his palm, and beams of light gathered around him, forming a white armor made of pure radiance.

The armor was strikingly beautiful and imposing.

After donning the Armor of Light, Yang Feng moved his body around. He found his movements completely unhindered—the armor didn’t restrict him at all.

The Armor of Light seemed almost invisible; unless one looked carefully, it was hard to notice.

After using it for a while, Yang Feng’s face showed a satisfied smile.

Another powerful skill—he activated another skill book.

The ball of light persisted for a moment, then gradually faded.

Yang Feng did not gain any new skill, but he was not disappointed.

Having just obtained the Armor of Light was already deeply gratifying.

As Yang Feng acquired more skills, the chance of failing to activate a skill book increased accordingly.
