Chapter 38: The Strongest Halo: Undying in a Hundred Battles
As the words fell, Tang Ruobing turned her gaze to Ye Mingqiu beside her and said, "You are the new member of the team. Please introduce your occupational skills to them first, just keep it brief."
"All right."
Ye Mingqiu nodded, then looked at the three people on the sofa and said, "My profession is team battle support. All my skills are AoE, including AoE auras, AoE crowd control debuffs, and AoE buffs. However, I also have single-target enchantment enhancement capabilities. The effects of using AoE control, buffs, and debuffs simultaneously can be additionally enhanced, so you can just think of them as the same skill."
"Aura, AoE crowd control, AoE buffs and debuffs—this is definitely a top-tier support!" Lei Peng cried out in pleasant surprise, then asked curiously, "Then how much are your AoE buff and debuff effects?"
Ye Mingqiu smiled awkwardly and said, "Two percent to all attributes."
The smile on Lei Peng's face instantly froze, and his mindset underwent a slight, microscopic shift.
What's the use of a 2% increase or decrease to all attributes? Isn't this effect a bit too promising for the future?
Beside him, Ke Fanxing frowned and asked, "That's not right. Logically speaking, Lord-tier skills can't possibly be this weak. Your skill should have other powerful effects, right?"
"My skill range is 150 meters, which can subject all units within the range to mental deterrence. The closer they are to me, the stronger the mental deterrence effect, up to a maximum of 1 second and a minimum of 0.1 seconds," Ye Mingqiu continued.
"Holy shit! 150 meters? No wonder the attribute buffs and debuffs are given so little. This is an absolute warfare-class skill! The more people and the more enemies there are, the stronger it gets! It feels like it even has three-star strength!" Lei Peng couldn't help exclaiming.
This skill would still be powerful even if the buffs and debuffs were stripped away. You have to realize that this is a 150-meter range group control. When used on the battlefield, its effects are extremely heaven-defying.
If this skill gets upgraded....
God knows how large the range could end up being!
It's just a pity that in a 5v5 battle, this skill probably won't be able to unleash its full potential, but overall it is still very good.
"Then how is the aura effect?"
Lin Feng asked.
"It restores health and psionic energy every minute. It's a continuous recovery aura."
"Then how much can it recover?"
Ye Mingqiu didn't answer, but silently applied the aura effect to everyone present.
"Holy shit! Holy shit! Oh, holy crap! What kind of aura is this? This skill is heaven-defying!" Ke Fanxing looked at the aura effect and couldn't help dropping a heavy curse word.
"Huh?"
Lei Peng didn't quite understand. Isn't it just an aura? Is there any need for such a massive emotional fluctuation?
Then he also glanced at the effect, and was so startled he almost vomited out the meal he ate yesterday. His eyes widened to the size of marbles, and his jaw almost dropped to the floor.
Looking at the two men's appearance, Lin Feng felt that they might be sick, infected by some contagious disease, or perhaps they were just acting out on purpose. Refusing to believe in such nonsense, he also looked at the aura effect along with them.
Then...
"Holy shit!"
He couldn't help shouting out loud either, displaying the exact same look of existential doubt as the previous two, staring fixedly at the effect on the target in disbelief.
Finally, feeling that something was wrong, Tang Ruobing also looked over at the aura effect.
[You have obtained the aura: Undying Through a Hundred Battles]
Undying Through a Hundred Battles: Restores 25 health per minute, and restores 3 psionic energy per minute.
The recovery amount of this aura per minute is 3% of Ye Mingqiu's maximum health. Ye Mingqiu's health is 834, therefore, the aura restores 25 health per minute.
Tang Ruobing was also stunned.
What on earth is this 25 points of health? Ke Fanxing, a Level 2 Lord-tier Marksman, only has a little over a hundred health in total. Under the effect of this aura, it would only take him a few minutes to go from near-death to full health.
Is this the gold content of Undying Through a Hundred Battles?
This is truly undying through a hundred battles!
You can't kill him! It is simply impossible to kill him!
Lei Peng quickly stood up, grasped Ye Mingqiu's hands tightly with both of his, and said with burning eyes, "Good brother, let's become sworn brothers! From now on, you will be my big brother, and we'll go slaughter everything together! If we run into equipment while clearing dungeons, you get first pick, and I'll just take your leftovers!"
*If this fucking thing is a Lord-class occupational skill, I'll go straight to the restroom and eat off the buffet,* Lin Feng thought to himself, while his gaze toward Ye Mingqiu also began to grow fervent.
If he has the Undying Through a Hundred Battles aura, even a Hero-class warrior is someone he would dare to fight head-on.
"Cough cough!"
Tang Ruobing coughed twice, used telekinetic magic to send Lei Peng back to the sofa, turned her gaze to Ye Mingqiu, and asked, "Your aura.... Isn't the effect a bit too strong?"
"Actually.... This isn't just one skill."
Ye Mingqiu explained with a smile, casting a heavily suggestive glance at the other members of the team.
In an instant, everyone in the team "understood." Ye Mingqiu is actually a Hero-class support; he has five skills, and the fifth skill is what amplifies the aura effects, which is why the effect of the Undying Through a Hundred Battles aura has been elevated to such a terrifying degree.
If they guessed correctly, Ye Mingqiu's fifth skill should be targeted at increasing specific aura effects rather than all aura effects, because after all, even Hero-class auras aren't this strong.
He couldn't possibly be a profession above the Hero-class, could he?
Does a profession like that even exist?
"With this aura from now on, I'm no longer just a Paladin. I am Paladin—Undying Through a Hundred Battles Form! I'd dare to fight a Hero-class tank head-on!" Lei Peng said full of confidence.
"Hahaha, then I am Berserker—Undying Through a Hundred Battles. Paired with my own active health-burning ability.... I feel like I'm about to take off!" Lin Feng chimed in as well.
To a certain extent, his Berserker profession is very strong, exceptionally strong. In actual combat, it can rival certain Hero-class warriors, but its shortcomings are also very obvious—its health-burning speed is extremely fast, and he is entirely fighting with his life on the line, making it very easy for his life to run out right in the middle of a fight.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't dare to burn health massively in battle; otherwise, he wouldn't even need the enemy's output because he could burn away all his own health by himself.
But if he has Undying Through a Hundred Battles...
Then he would dare to burn health rapidly!
A Berserker who dares to burn health rapidly has an actual combat power that directly rivals Hero-class professions, and might even be stronger than certain Hero-class professions.
Finally, Tang Ruobing's gaze toward him also began to turn bizarre. She couldn't understand what kind of profession this guy actually was. His four fundamental baseline attributes were ridiculously high, and his skills resembled those of a support—could he really be a Hero-class support?
Yet his attitude doesn't feel like it...
Could it be...
Tang Ruobing's expression shifted slightly. She quietly tapped her wrist, retrieved a bracelet from her storage space, tossed it into Ye Mingqiu's hand, and said, "Take good care of this item, don't lose it."
[Divine Concealment Bracelet]
Rank: Tier 1
Quality: Silver
Effect: Can block detection effects.
Ye Mingqiu frowned slightly and said, "This item is too precious. I cannot accept it."
"This is for the team."
Tang Ruobing's gaze was incomparably solemn as she said, "Your information must be kept confidential. For the final results of our entire college entrance examination preparatory team, you must accept it."
"All right."
Ye Mingqiu nodded, operated on the psionic interface for a few moments, spent 200 psionic points to apply to the spiritual realm for notarization, wrote an IOU, and handed it to Tang Ruobing.
[IOU of the Divine Monarch]
Type: Special
Effect: With this IOU, you can demand 10,000 psionic points from the psionicist - Divine Monarch, and the other party can also actively apply to repay it in full at once.
Tang Ruobing fell silent, then angrily said, "What are you doing? Are you an idiot? I am thinking of the entire team, this is my inherent responsibility!"
"I'm sorry, I know this is your responsibility, but my conscience won't let me accept it outright. I am also a member of the team. Consider it for the sake of my mental health—please accept it." Ye Mingqiu did not show the slightest bit of fear, his attitude sincere and earnest.
From their initial encounter until now, Tang Ruobing had already given him a great deal of help. These instances of help made him clearly aware that he would be able to help her in the future, yet Ye Mingqiu felt uncomfortable providing equal or even greater help without offering an equivalent return. He felt that at this stage he owed her far too much, and yet he had no substantial way to compensate her.
This feeling made him quite miserable, and he had to proactively do something, or else he wouldn't even be able to accept it himself.
Actually, he would have preferred to just transfer the funds directly, but the moment he recalled the look of shock on Tang Ruobing's face when he previously told her he had 1,802 psionic points, he didn't dare to do so. Otherwise, she would probably stare at 10,000 psionic points and doubt her entire outlook on life for a long time.
"Sigh~"
Tang Ruobing stared at him for a long time, finally sighed helplessly, accepted the IOU, and said coldly, "Fine, I'll only give you one year."
