CHAPTER 563: CHAPTER 549: FIFTH TRANSFORMATION, SUMMONING SPIRIT VENERABLE

New Year’s Eve

Time: 14:16

Location: White Tiger City "Mage Guild"

Lin Yi appeared inside the Mage Guild, heading straight to the Mage Advancement Room deep within the guild.

An advanced mage named "Ferdinand Moro" welcomed Lin Yi:

"Good afternoon, esteemed Chosen One."

Lin Yi returned the greeting:

"Good afternoon, Master Mage."

The person in front of him wasn’t a system-generated virtual NPC, but a real native inhabitant, so Lin Yi had to be polite to win their favor.

The elder, dressed in a dark red mage robe, looked at Lin Yi with a smile and said:

"I assume everything I asked you to prepare is ready?"

"Yes!"

Lin Yi took out the advancement materials he had collected over the past few days from his backpack and handed them over:

"Everything you need is here, Master Mage."

Level 50 is a significant milestone for players, so from the Fifth Transformation onward, each advancement requires corresponding materials.

That’s why Lin Yi, who had been Level 50 for a while, only came for the Fifth Transformation now.

The elder took the materials Lin Yi handed over, placed them in the center of a magic array in the room, and then said to Lin Yi:

"Esteemed Chosen One, please step up."

Lin Yi responded and walked to the center of the magic array. At the same time, a blinding light burst from the array, forcing Lin Yi to close his eyes.

After about three or four minutes, a pleasant notification sounded in Lin Yi’s ear:

"Congratulations on completing the Fifth Transformation and becoming a powerful Summoning Spirit Venerable."

Finally, the Fifth Transformation!

Lin Yi’s face was full of joy. He first expressed his gratitude to the old mage and then quickly opened his attribute panel:

Character: Feng Hua

Level: 51

Upgrade Experience: 1450351/31000000

Profession: Summoning Spirit Venerable (Fifth Transformation)

Blood Value: 58600/58600

Mana: 29030/29030

Constitution: 790

Power: 405

Intelligence: 3402

Agility: 120

Accurate: 60

Physical Damage: 8047-15478

Magic Damage: 21540-31540

Physical Defense: 7405

Magic Defense: 6804

Luck Value: 35

Honor Points: 700

Comprehension: 10

Lin Yi was extremely satisfied with his attributes. Just a ten-level difference had resulted in an astonishing increase in all his attributes.

The Blood Value that barely reached ten thousand in the Fourth Transformation surged to nearly sixty thousand.

The most terrifying part was the Magic Attack, which was less than ten thousand in the Fourth Transformation, had now skyrocketed to over thirty thousand, and even the Physical Damage exceeded ten thousand.

It’s hard to imagine this is just the attribute panel for the Fifth Transformation!

Lin Yi played a mage in the previous life and clearly remembered that breaking ten thousand Magic Damage wasn’t until after the Sixth Transformation.

This life is much stronger than the previous one.

Of course, these are just changes in attributes.

The Fifth Transformation also added four new skills, which are:

[Arcane Fusion] (Active): After releasing the skill, you can merge with summoned creatures and gain a 50% attribute bonus from them while acquiring up to three of their skills; Fusion Time: 60 minutes; Skill Consumption: 8000Mp; Cool-down Time: 360 minutes. (Can be actively canceled)

This skill is straightforward. After releasing it, Lin Yi merges with the Jade Qilin, gaining a 50% attribute bonus and access to 3 skills it possesses.

The skills mentioned here do not include Lin Yi’s own skills like [Blessing], [Silence], [Ice Domain], etc.

The Jade Qilin has the Thunder Attribute, so Lin Yi guesses it can acquire its powerful Thunder Attribute skills after merging.

The second is:

[Arcane Charging] (Passive): When performing Arcane ranged attacks, there is a 40% chance to trigger a second round of skill damage. Skill Consumption: None; Cool-down Time: None.

This needs no explanation. Although the 40% probability seems sizable, for someone like Lin Yi, chances rarely favor him.

If it triggers, it’s a pleasant surprise; if not, there’s no disappointment.

Lin Yi turned his gaze to the third skill:

[Arcane Teleportation Enhancement] (Passive): After releasing the skill, instantly appear at any position within a 5-yard range; Skill Consumption: 10%Mp; Cool-down: None.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but widen his eyes and exclaimed:

"My gosh!"

Lin Yi first noticed the range of the skill had increased by 2 yards, yet the skill now costs 10% of Mana, a significant increase from before!

This means Lin Yi can only use this skill ten times at full status.

Just as Lin Yi puzzled over this increased consumption, he found the answer in the cool-down section: No cool-down time!!!

All of a sudden, Lin Yi realized the tremendous impact this teleportation enhancement would have:

"Incredible!"

Looking at the enhanced skill attributes, Lin Yi couldn’t help but exclaim:

"Now this is what you call real ’Instant Teleportation’!"

Though consumption has sharply increased, lack of cool-down means the skill offers Lin Yi many more instant chances.

It also means more possibilities in future battles can be created.

And it significantly increases opportunities for Lin Yi to save his own life; the enhancement aligns perfectly with Lin Yi’s desires.

Next, Lin Yi examined the final skill:

[Arcane·Magic Shield] (Active): Release the skill to form a shield equaling 30% of your Life Value, lasting 5 minutes; while the shield remains unbroken, gain immunity to all control (Overlord Body). Skill Consumption: 7000Mp; Skill Cool-down: 10 minutes.

This skill immediately caught Lin Yi’s attention.

Without any hesitation, he used it directly:

"Arcane·Magic Shield"

At the same time, an elliptical magic shield rose around Lin Yi, enveloping him entirely.

Through the magic shield, Lin Yi could still clearly see the surroundings without any movement restrictions.

Among the four new skills, Lin Yi is most satisfied with the Teleportation Enhancement, followed closely by this Magic Shield.

This skill not only adds 30% of Lin Yi’s Life Value but also provides an Overlord Body state, meaning with the shield he need not fear any control skills from opponents.

After familiarizing himself with the new skills, Lin Yi contentedly closed the skill bar.

Having successfully completed the Fifth Transformation, Lin Yi’s strength has significantly increased, and now he just awaits those insidious creatures to come knocking at night.

But for some reason, Lin Yi couldn’t shake the feeling that he had overlooked something, though he just couldn’t figure out what it was.

This impression had lingered since Mari Kyoko informed him of this news, haunting him over three days, leaving Lin Yi both frustrated and worried about unforeseen complications.

At that moment, a stranger suddenly sent Lin Yi a message:

***(Stranger): "Be wary of traitors." Note: Be cautious with messages from strangers to avoid scams.
