Chapter 178: The Dominator of the Undead, Unbeatable! (Two in one)_1
Seeing that Chen Mo was fine, Liu Yiyi felt reassured and went back to what she was doing.
After closing the door, Chen Mo took another look at the sky outside, which had returned to normal, and called upon the Heavenly Path System to review the hint he had just received from it.
There was a new SSS-level Title added.
He immediately opened it to check its effect.
[SSS-level Title—First Transcender]
[Title Effect]: All Attributes increased by 500 points; gain a damage reduction effect with a percentage value equal to the number of 'Free Attribute Points' you can obtain per level.
[Title Skill]: First Transcender
[First Transcender·The Golden Passive]: Your Free Attribute Points corresponding to your star level are increased by one tier from their original basis.
[Title Description]: You are the first one in this world to transcend the ordinary; your abilities will definitely surpass others. May you not fall prematurely!
This is too strong, isn't it? Doesn't this mean my attributes have essentially jumped another tier?
As mentioned before, for each star in a combat profession, one gains 5 freely distributable attribute points upon leveling up.
When your combat profession's star level exceeds five, the Free Attribute Points obtained for each star become 10.
Ordinary people could only achieve this kind of attribute point bonus after their first-transition.
This is because an initial profession can only reach five stars at most; it's impossible to exceed five stars.
So, the free attributes obtained from five stars or fewer are referred to as first-tier free attributes.
Six stars to ten stars are called the second-tier. At this stage, the Free Attribute Points corresponding to each star are multiplied by the tier number, meaning 5×2=10 points.
Subsequently, eleven stars to fifteen stars are known as the third-tier. According to the rules, each star grants 5×3=15 attribute points.
And so on.
Because Chen Mo had a hidden profession, he was already in the second-tier while normal people were still in the first-tier.
Now, the First Transcender title elevated his attribute tier by another level, causing Chen Mo's free attribute tier to directly reach the third-tier even before his first-transition.
A single star was now equivalent to 15 Free Attribute Points.
His combat profession had now also become a five-star profession. With ten stars, this meant the attribute points he could obtain per level up had directly become 150.
The improvement was rather exaggerated. This gap would continue to widen after future class advancements. For now, it seemed acceptable.
However, this title also had another very strong effect: it allowed Chen Mo to gain damage reduction with a percentage value equal to the Free Attribute Points he could obtain per level.
Chen Mo could now obtain 150 Free Attribute Points per level, which meant the damage reduction effect he could gain was 150%.
Of course, under the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, the maximum effective damage reduction was capped at 99%. Any excess damage reduction wasn't useless; it could be used to offset an opponent's increased damage effects.
This meant that under the effect of this title alone, if an opponent didn't have more than 51% increased damage, all damage they inflicted on Chen Mo would be offset by 99%. Only 1% would take effect.
And Chen Mo didn't just have one damage reduction ability; the previously acquired title, The Lonely God of War, also possessed a considerably strong damage reduction effect.
With both combined, an opponent would need an extremely explosive increased damage effect to have a chance of dealing effective damage to Chen Mo.
Of course, if their increased damage wasn't high, but their base damage was very high, that would also work.
After all, damage reduction was at most 99% effective. If you could deal 10 billion damage with one punch, even if 99% of that damage was reduced, 100 million damage would still land on Chen Mo.
That could still kill him with a single punch.
After looking at the incredibly powerful title, Chen Mo, full of expectation, opened the profession page.
I wonder what the five-star initial hidden profession looks like.
[Initial Hidden Profession·Combat]: Dominator of the Undead ★★★★★
[Professional Talent]: Lord of the Undead
[Lord of the Undead]: As long as Undead Units you summoned survive within a range of 'Level * star level * 100m' around you, you cannot die for any reason. You possess an Undead Containment Space within your body, capable of holding up to 'Level * star level * 100' undead. Undead stored in the reclusion space will ignore their duration and exist permanently. However, when released, their duration countdown will resume.
HISS! If there are Undead-Summoning Items around, I won't die no matter what happens! Isn't this talent damn insane? Isn't this equivalent to being invincible in a sense?!
Chen Mo found it incredible; he knew that the Heavenly Dao imposed extremely strict limitations on abilities related to death.
This unique five-star initial hidden profession actually came with such an outrageous talent.
It was downright inhumane.
What's even more outrageous is that the reclusion space provided by the talent can unconditionally store a large number of undead in advance. If it were filled to the brim and then all of them were released at once, the scene would be absolutely mind-blowing!
Damn, this is just a Professional Talent, and it's already so outrageous. A five-star profession comes with profession-exclusive skills. I wonder how insane this hidden five-star profession will be.
Chen Mo continued to read.
[Profession-exclusive passive skills]: Dominator's Appearance, Undead Rally, Death Summons, Locked (Unlocked when breaking through the fourth-tier bottleneck.)...
[Dominator's Appearance·The Golden Passive]: All your Undead Summoning skills can be instant-cast. Furthermore, they can ignore any summoning condition limitations (such as energy consumption or the need for special materials).
Chen Mo had heard that to summon top-tier summoned creatures, one needed to prepare corresponding high-level items in advance.
