Chapter 133: The Blazing Sun Physique, Skill Advancement
Page 1 of 3
“All right, let’s leave it there. I’ll take you to get a skill book.”
With that, Elder Deng started forward.
Xu Han followed behind him, curiously surveying the bookshelves around them.
The shelves devoted to magic were packed with Platinum-tier magic skill books.
Ten copies of Multiple Explosive Fireball.
Five copies of Earthquake.
Three copies of Tornado.
Many of the skill books were duplicates.
Elder Deng led Xu Han to a shelf near the Epic-tier section.
Xu Han looked at the category label.
Support Skills.
Elder Deng pulled a skill book from the shelf and handed it to him.
Xu Han checked its attributes.
[Name: Blazing Sun Physique]
[Quality: Platinum-tier]
[Description: Passive skill. Under the blazing sun, greatly increases Strength and Constitution, substantially accelerates recovery, increases resistance to fire damage, and allows the user to draw upon the power of the blazing sun to damage enemies.]
[Usage Requirement: Strength and Constitution of at least 1,000]
Xu Han’s eyes lit up.
The Blazing Sun Physique was a perfect match for his own Blazing Sun skill.
Wasn’t this exactly the skill he was missing?
Elder Deng said, “I took a look at your abilities. You’re not lacking offensive skills right now.”
“Among the Platinum-tier skill books, there aren’t any with truly overwhelming destructive power, so I chose this one for you.”
“For other people, the Blazing Sun Physique is somewhat underwhelming.”
“After all, no one can remain under a blazing sun at all times.”
“In any other environment, this skill is practically useless.”
“But in an environment with a blazing sun, it would not be an exaggeration to call it the strongest Platinum-tier skill.”
“And you happen to possess the Blazing Sun skill, which means you can change the environment and create a blazing sun anytime, anywhere.”
“There’s no skill more suitable for you to learn.”
Xu Han nodded. “Thank you, Elder Deng!”
Elder Deng waved his hand and glanced toward the bookshelf.
Beside the Blazing Sun Physique was another skill book.
The words Dark Moon Physique were written on its cover.
He said, “Once your strength is sufficient, you can exchange for this Dark Moon Physique.”
“The Dark Moon Physique is similar to the Blazing Sun Physique, except that it increases Agility and Mental Power.”
“It can also control dark elements and draw down the light of the moon.”
“You’re currently lacking a few support skills.”
“As for offensive skills, once you become strong enough, it would be better to learn offensive skills of Epic tier or higher directly.”
“Those skills possess sufficient power and will suit you better.”
Xu Han nodded.
Elder Deng suddenly asked, “Do you know how skills advance in rank?”
Xu Han froze.
Skills could advance in rank?
He only knew that skills could be leveled up.
He had never heard that they could advance in rank as well.

Elder Deng said, “Did you think that once you learned a skill from a skill book, everything would be settled?”
Xu Han nodded blankly.
Wasn’t that how it worked?
Elder Deng smiled and shook his head. “Young man, have you played too many games?”
“You really think it’s that simple?”
“In fact, there are many ways to learn skills. Skill books are not the only method.”
“They’re merely the most common and simplest method.”
“But to powerful experts, the skills taught by skill books aren’t powerful enough, so they usually choose to create their own skills.”
Xu Han’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Create their own skills?
Was this some kind of cultivation novel?
Elder Deng continued, “Creating your own skills is still far beyond your reach. Even I have only touched the surface.”
“But advancing a skill in rank is much more attainable for you.”
“When you use a skill, carefully comprehend it, identify its weaknesses, and improve upon it. There’s a chance that you may raise the skill’s rank.”
Xu Han listened in bewilderment.
It could be done that way?
Elder Deng changed directions. “There’s another method.”
“For example, the Blazing Sun Physique and the Dark Moon Physique. It is said that if these two skills are fused, they can reach the power of an Epic-tier skill.”
“But that’s only a theory. Just listen to it and forget it.”
“After all, both skills are rather underwhelming, and so far, I haven’t seen anyone learn either of them.”
Xu Han nodded.
He looked at the Blazing Sun Physique and the Dark Moon Physique.
A thought stirred within him.
According to Elder Deng’s idea, it was indeed possible to fuse the two skills and raise them to Epic-tier power!
However, he would need enough credits first.
After all, a single Platinum-tier skill book was expensive.
It cost 1,000 credits.
He was still short several hundred credits if he wanted to exchange for it.
For now, he could only suppress his desire to try.
After bidding farewell to Elder Deng, Xu Han returned directly to his dormitory.
He took out the Blazing Sun Physique skill book and learned it immediately.
The skill book transformed into a streak of white light and surged into Xu Han’s body.
He opened his skill panel to inspect it.
Blazing Sun Physique, Level 1: Passive skill. Under the blazing sun, increases Strength and Constitution by 30%, increases recovery speed by 100%, increases resistance to fire damage by 50%, and allows the user to draw upon the power of the blazing sun to damage enemies.
At Level 1 alone, it could already increase his attributes by 30%.
It was easy to imagine how much stronger it would become as its level rose.
Furthermore, the stronger he became, the greater the increase provided by the Blazing Sun Physique!
It also increased recovery speed and resistance to fire damage.
If he encountered a fire mage or another profession that wielded flames, wouldn’t dealing with them be effortless?
As expected of a Platinum-tier skill. Its power was truly terrifying.
He was already looking forward to seeing what would happen after he learned the Dark Moon Physique and fused it with the Blazing Sun Physique to create an Epic-tier skill.
With the conclusion of the Beast Tower, everything at the academy returned to normal.

The freshmen attended their classes, trained to level up, and went about their business.
Within three days, several people had officially advanced and become first-rank professionals.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early on the morning of the third day, sunlight poured down from the sky.
Xu Han walked out of the dormitory building, and the sunlight fell upon him.
He immediately felt his strength and stamina increase considerably.
His entire body seemed filled with inexhaustible power.
He went straight to the academy entrance.
Four people were already standing there.
When he took a closer look, he could not help but laugh.
All four of them were familiar faces.
The first was his old acquaintance, Hua Piaowu.
When Hua Piaowu saw Xu Han, she gave a light snort and turned her head away.
Clearly, she was still annoyed that he had called her hopelessly bad with directions the last time.
Next were the upperclassmen he had encountered in Eastsea City.
Zhu Junjie wore a fiery-red mage robe. His arms were folded across his chest, and his expression was full of disdain.
The other was Jiang Yuchen, dressed in a tight-fitting combat suit.
Jiang Yuchen stood at the edge of the group, playing with his phone without saying a word.
The last was a young woman dressed in immaculate white priestly robes.
It was Su Li.
When she saw Xu Han approaching, Su Li smiled and waved at him in greeting.
Zhu Junjie and Jiang Yuchen glanced at Xu Han before continuing with what they had been doing.
Xu Han walked over to Su Li and asked curiously, “Has the principal still not arrived?”
Su Li shook her head. “Not yet. We only arrived a short while ago as well…”
Hua Piaowu gave a disdainful snort. “Who says that? The rest of us arrived ages ago, Late Xu!”
Xu Han was both amused and exasperated.
Was this woman really that petty?
He had merely teased her once a couple of days ago, and she still remembered it?
With a helpless shake of his head, Xu Han stood to one side and took out his phone.
Su Li cautiously held out a steamed bun to him. “You haven’t eaten breakfast yet, have you?”
Xu Han froze.
This scene felt strangely familiar.
He glanced at Su Li.
She smiled sweetly.
Gentle and adorable.
Warmth spread through Xu Han’s heart as he accepted the bun. “Thank you.”
Hua Piaowu pouted, took a bottle of warm milk from her spatial ring, and handed it to Xu Han.
“Here. I bought too much and can’t finish it, so you can have it.”
