And precisely because the Twinborn Contract is so rare and powerful, for players who are bored and love to take on a dozen or so professions, it is often referred to as a fake SS-level Destiny Talent. It could be said that above the Twinborn Contract, there are perhaps only those few talents, dubbed "Martha’s Son" and "Blue Calamity," which carry such powerful titles and have never appeared, only existing in conversations.
Brand is not a greedy person; he doesn’t yearn for things he’s never seen—although he even suspects that those things were simply made up by some players. But for him, the Twinborn Contract, or even the Ancient One, is already enough. Moreover, he has a way to acquire these two talents because as long as someone has obtained them before, he can follow the example to achieve it again.
Of course, the Golden Tree Leaf is definitely not enough. He absolutely would not use up his only opportunity to choose something that is not very suitable for him out of impatience. The last time in Buqi was a matter of life and death, and even though he selected an Unyielding Talent, he still regrets it now. He knows that if he had chosen Dragon’s Descendant or Bloodline Will, his combat power could have been increased by at least two to three folds.
"I refuse to activate it," Brand answered in his heart, simultaneously dodging to the side to evade a Magic Arrow composed of pure Dark Element thrown at him by the Dark Priest.
To be honest, even if this spell hit Brand, it would at most break one or two of his bones. Moreover, with the young man’s dexterity, the subordinate Dark Priest of the Black Fire Sect didn’t even need to look to know that he would definitely miss. But both sides knew well that the advantage of the Magic Arrow lay in its extremely fast casting speed, requiring almost no chanting time. The Dark Priest was simply trying to use such a low-level spell to force Brand to change his direction, preventing him from getting too close.
The Black Fire Sect members originally surrounding the Dark Priest were almost all dead or injured, with only a dozen or so trembling Lizardman Warriors left. These creatures were absolutely useless against Brand, and the Dark Priest of the Black Fire Sect knew this well, gritting his teeth and relying on his own strength. Even though the situation seemed irreparable, he threw out a second Magic Arrow while cursing the inaccurate information given by that stinking lizard. How did those twenty or so Silver Elves manage to break out? In fact, it was not until this very moment that he realized he had been manipulated from the start.
Brand was not in a hurry.
He thought to himself, if you were 5 levels higher, advancing to an Elf Master and acquiring the unique passive skill ’Spirit Vein’ to learn Dual Chant, then I might worry a bit with you throwing Magic Arrows and charging up other spells at the same time. But what use is it to keep draining my stamina with low-level spells? Could it be that your mana is more abundant than my stamina?
Meanwhile, the young man noticed another information appearing on his retina after the green option gradually faded:
"Detected that the character has reached level 25, Bloodline Talent unlocked for the second time."
"Unyielding (Lv2): Player gains Element Resistance +5, Physical Damage -5%."
Seeing this tank talent gave Brand a bit of a headache, so he bluntly dismissed the information to avoid disrupting his combat mood. To be honest, this talent is quite strong among tank talents, but unfortunately, the warriors in ’Amber Sword’ were never meant to serve as tanks, let alone the more versatile mercenaries. The urgent choice of this talent at the time now felt like a bit of irony to him.
Who would willingly put their face on the line to get hit by monsters!
The divided Silver Elf Guard was now driving the Lizardmen towards the slopes on both sides, and the opposing Dark Priest seemed to have finally realized his mistake. Brand suddenly noticed that the Magic Arrow chasing him had stopped. He turned around and saw the Dark Priest covered in black smoke, clearly chanting to gather Dark Element and preparing to cast a high-level spell. But how could Brand give him this chance? He was not a rookie participating in a boss battle for the first time, who would take forever to figure out the boss’s intentions and end up missing the opportunity.
The young man swung his sword behind him, sending several remaining Lizardmen flying with a gust of wind pressure, activating his Charge Skill. In an instant, he turned into a straight line—he dashed past the Lizardmen surrounding the Dark Priest before they could even react, reaching the subordinate Dark Priest of the Black Fire Sect.
He raised his sword and slashed with all his might. Like a sudden flash of black light, the longsword empowered by Power Burst smashed onto an unexpectedly appearing black ink-like barrier with a ’bang’. Huh? Brand was momentarily stunned, then realized the Dark Priest’s shriveled claw had emerged from his robe, raising a giant shield surrounded by eerie light. The figure hidden under the hood gave him a sinister smile and pointed a finger forward, unleashing a black flame—
(PS: Yesterday, someone in the Book Review Area pointed out a mistake in Brand’s data status. I checked and found it to be true. I failed to account for the strength bonus from equipping the Subordinate Ghoul Necklace, which was my oversight. First, I apologize to everyone.
Besides that, there shouldn’t be any other major issues. As for the growth method of experience, it’s true that it’s not linear growth, but actually, the attribute bonuses for each professional level are the same.
Finally, I want to complain that those urging me to update are really annoying. Curse you all to live on the 8th floor.) (To be continued. For more details, please visit www.qidian.com.
