It isn't rare to see advanced jobs in this world. On the contrary, almost every expert who reaches a certain level will choose the most suitable advanced job for them.
To other experts, it is a necessary requirement to reach a certain level. However, in my System Interface, there is a more direct view.
LV60 Warrior/LV7 Weapon Master, LV60 Justice Knight/LV2 Adjudicator, LV60 Mage/LV1 Mage of Fortune. The former are basic jobs while the latter are advanced jobs. As a basic job, one has to go through three stages, namely Iron, Bronze and Silver. Only by continuously grinding and maturing can one step into the advanced job.
In reality, there isn't much difference between basic jobs. What they use are common skills and abilities. The main difference is still in their talent and basic attributes. Choosing an advanced job is also a choice for the future. They choose to specialize in something, which means that they are giving up on the others. After advancing to Legend, they can even specialize in one or two abilities to crush everything else.
For example, there is a certain Dracon who is getting more and more Beifeng. Recently, I can't even say his name. His normal job is Ranger and his advanced job is Beast Master. In other words, after reaching Gold-rank Ranger, he basically gave up on his shooting, survival, trapping, tracking, dual blades and other common Ranger abilities to focus on controlling and taming beasts.
When he reaches Legend-rank and gathers that mysterious Heart of Universal Love, he is able to bring his Beast Taming and Pet Controlling abilities to the extreme.
It is said that in that battle on the sea, he actually managed to make the Sea Monster hesitate for a moment. If it wasn't for the constant cannon fire, he might have succeeded in taming it. A Legend-rank being able to cause such an obvious effect on an Epic-tier Sea Monster is unimaginable.
If he really succeeded in taming it, having a Deep Sea Monster as a pet would increase his battle prowess by a few hundred times. This is enough to prove the fundamental subversive effect of specialization on experts.
What? You said that this fellow defies the heavens, but he isn't a representative at all.
Un, you aren't wrong. I don't think that there is any other Beast Tamer Hunter in this world who loves his job to such an extent. Willpower is the soul and the soul is the power. On the contrary, normal souls have the limits of mortals. The more stubborn and crazy a soul is, the more terrifying the potential. From a certain perspective, he is indeed far from normal, ridiculously far, but his potential is limitless.
Thinking about this, I can't help but be stunned.
"If he continues to soar like this, the position of Beast God and Beast God will remain empty. If he really steps into the Demigod Realm, I'm afraid that the most difficult step of Godly Ascension will be unobstructed … This is too scary!"
I couldn't help but imagine what would happen if Beifeng.Herault really became the Beast God. I was afraid that the entire world would be in a terrible state.
Alright, I got off topic. Let's not talk about that terrifying future anymore. At the very least, I definitely wouldn't let it happen. Let's return to the main topic. Yep, job advancement.
Advancing to a profession was about choosing a path to specialize in. It was like climbing a mountain. The closer you got to the peak, the narrower the path would be, but when you looked back, you would find yourself looking down at the peaks.
Using a more realistic analogy, an ordinary law student would specialize in economic law when he was a graduate student, and when he was a PhD student, he would specialize in antitrust cases of international companies.
This was from the broad to the specialized. It seemed to be getting narrower and narrower, but in fact, it was getting higher and higher. Could it be that they did not know the common law knowledge? Of course they would, it was just that there was no need to use it. For their pursuit, it was enough to make good use of their expertise.
On the other hand, my situation was a little unique. Other people had one path, but I had four paths mixed together. If I were to split my efforts to cultivate all of them, even if I were to tire myself to death, I wouldn't be able to obtain much in return.
Thus, my path was like the rivers and the seas. The four rivers would eventually converge into the sea. Then, what I needed to do was to find the intersection of the various tributaries and absorb the strengths of each to begin my own path. This time, my goal wasn't just to become a SemiGod.
This was very difficult, but it wasn't impossible. This was also the reason why I had made up my mind to specialize in magic swords.
At this moment, when a magic swordsman reached a certain level of cultivation, it was only a matter of time before he chose to create a job that was suitable for him. Rather than being stuck at a bottleneck and forcing himself to make a choice, it was better to make plans early.
The reason why I chose to create a new job and not advance to the existing magic swordsman job was because even though the path I created might be slow, it was destined to be the most suitable for me. On the other hand, even though I would be able to advance quickly by walking on the path of others, it would be difficult for me to surpass the creator.
Of course, from a certain perspective, this was a blissful worry. It was enough for a short-lived species like humans to advance quickly. Such extravagant worries were usually exclusive to long-lived species like the Elves.
When the field of magic engineering was truly developed, the experts that even the True Gods were wary of proved the endless potential of this path.
"Starlight Shatterer — Tonight, please stay. I shall strike down that bright North Star for you!"
"A one-man fleet — Billions of cannon towers, billions of radiance. My journey is that galaxy."
"Invincible hot-blooded fool — My battleship slicing blade, nothing can break it!"
"Super S-rank Mobile Calamity who makes friends with cannons — That, please believe me! I just want to hand it over to a friend. I really didn't mean to destroy your city. "
"The highest leader of the Origin Gnomes, Little Mustache — Infuriating, those who stand in my way are all scum, all scum!"
Now, when the dawn of a new era appeared in front of me, I was given a chance to be ahead of the times. If I didn't grasp it, I would really be an idiot.
Of course, the other Sword Saints couldn't possibly see so far ahead. However, they only trusted me and supported me. That was enough for me.
With the help of a master craftsman, the Sacred Sword Pale Justice had already been modified. There was an additional hole at the hilt of the sword. That was the place to insert attribute magic bullets. The entire sword hilt was an Olivia's Magic Box with a complete magic cycle.
"Vermilion Bird Sword Seal!"
The red attribute bullets were embedded within and the completed Magic Box was instantly activated. Under my will, the illusory image of a scarlet red God Bird turned into an emblem on the sword. Scarlet red flame magic wrapped around the body of the sword and the flaming tail of the sword extended several meters.
Every time I swung the sword, it was as though a scarlet meteor streaking across the sky. Sparks fell from the sky, leaving behind a trail of milky way. It was exceptionally gorgeous.
Every target that I threw into the air as a target would be set ablaze the moment I hit it. Following that, the enchantment on the sword would be consumed and the illusory image of the Vermilion Bird Sword would also dim.
After dozens of strikes, the Sword Seal finally disappeared. With a 'kacha' sound, the empty attribute magic bullets were ejected.
"49 strikes, better than expected."
"Can it be increased further?"
"The total energy in the portable energy pool is limited. Unless I expand the Magic Box and attribute magic bullets, the entire weapon would have to be enlarged. In reality, the cost-performance ratio is too low. Furthermore, in a real battle, this much should be enough. At most, I can just bring more attribute magic bullets to replace them. Next, let's test the second item. "
Attribute magic bullets were miniature Olivia's Magic Box (portable energy pool) filled with energy of a specific attribute. On the other hand, the large Magic Box that was filled with it was pure energy without any attribute. When the attribute magic bullet was activated, the energy in the entire pool would be converted into the corresponding attribute. Once the pool of energy was completely depleted (most of the time, the attribute magic bullet would be depleted while the energy pool would still have some left), it could be filled with non-attribute magic bullets.
Allowing the Magic Box to maintain the Sword Seal on its own and allowing the warrior to focus on using the weapon was the only way to avoid killing oneself by multitasking.
Beside me, the researchers were discussing fervently. The Sword Saints and blacksmiths were looking at me with interest. From the start, they were either reluctantly agreeing to help me out of respect or they were working hard for the salary. But now that the technology had barely taken shape, this new existence was gradually proving its worth. The endless mysteries of this new thing had really piqued their interest.
"Black Tortoise Sword Seal!"
The same Tortoise Snake Sword Seal was activated and a pale white chill started to spread. However, I was unmoved by it. Instead, I raised my sword and aimed it at the target that was more than 10 meters away and swung it with great force.
"Sword Seal Explosion!"
Along with the roar, the Sword Seal of the Turtle and Snake suddenly flashed, and what followed the swing of the sword was a snow-white arc.
The speed of the snow-white arc wasn't fast. As it flew, it emitted a chill and ice crystals formed along the way, creating a beautiful scene.
"Kacha! Cha! "
The target was sliced apart and froze. When it fell to the ground, it turned into ice shards.
When the Sword Seal was summoned, it was in the Sword Seal Enchanted state, which was the most common melee mode. As for the Sword Seal Explosion mode, it was to use all the remaining magic power in the energy pool to explode in one go for a long-range attack.
Currently, this new job only had these two attack modes. As for the Sword Seal that corresponded to the four basic elements, under my suggestion, I named it after four types of God Beasts that had never appeared in this world.
Of course, because of this inexplicable persistence in the eyes of others, I received a lot of criticism, especially from those Goblins who tried to compete for the naming rights of the work. They surrounded me and complained.
"I can understand that the Fire Phoenix is a God Beast of the fire element, but why did you name it after the Fire Sparrow (Vermillion Bird in the eyes of the Goblins)? This is obviously a low-tier Magic Beast. As for the Black Tortoise, it is even more incomprehensible. A Magic Beast with a tortoise on one side and a snake on the other didn't even pass. "
"As for the Azure Dragon, you are probably referring to the Green Dragon. Other people's natural talent is to control the plants in the forest. Alright, since it can fly, it is understandable that it is related to the Wind Element. However, the White Tiger is just a rare variant. Even if its fur is beautiful, as for the Earth God Beast … To be honest, we have always thought that the Ruby Sword Seal, Gold Coin Sword Seal and Emerald Sword Seal are more realistic! Please respect our opinion! We, the craftsmen, also have the naming rights. "
Facing all kinds of opinions, I only replied with a single sentence, but it was enough to solve the problem.
"I am the sponsor."
Alright, this is the good point of the Goblins. Money is everything. The moment I said that, all the complaints were gone.
This is also the only explanation. Am I supposed to explain to the people of another world that the God of the North, the Black Tortoise, is a Water God Beast and Water Magic is an extension of Ice Magic? While the God of the West, the White Tiger, is a Metal God and can only make do with the Earth Element? As for the Azure Dragon of the East, which is supposed to be a Wood Element … There isn't a Wood Element in the Four Main Elements, so it can only stay in the Wind Element.
The reason why it is called the Four Elemental Swordcasters is because currently, there are only four common Sword Seals based on the Four Main Elements. The Fire Vermillion Bird Seal, the Wind Azure Dragon Seal, the Water (Ice) Black Tortoise Seal and the Earth (Metal) White Tiger Seal.
Of course, these are just the basic Sword Seals. There are many other possibilities. For example, I, who possesses Ice Magic, can use the Black Tortoise Sword Seal to recharge the Magic Bullets. As long as I change the Magic Bullets in time, there is no limit to the battle of attrition. Privately, I opened up a few other Sword Seals that aren't suitable to be made public.
"Pride Sword Seal — Holy Light, who gave you the right to dictate what is righteous and use your own righteousness to punish others?"
"Wrath Sword Seal — Righteous indignation towards injustice and villains is the driving force behind the Law. However, excessive righteousness harms both yourself and others. Calmness is a must. Never allow wrath to affect your rational judgment."
"Sloth Sword Seal — Death is the sweetest slumber. It is a pity that it isn't time for you to get off work. So, make the most of your time and try your best to live an exciting life. "
These three Sword Seals correspond to my remaining Holy Light, Law, and Death powers respectively. I am currently using Olivia's Magic Box and my job advancement to organize and standardize my messy and chaotic power system, allowing the world to converge into a vast ocean, forming an even stronger combined force.
Of course, it is obvious that these three powers aren't suitable to be made public. The current Four Elemental Sword Seals are enough for those newbies to study them through the night.
Through the development of the Sword Seals, I have already vaguely understood that the future direction of this job would be to choose to delve into a certain system of Sword Seals, or to develop and learn new, higher-tier Sword Seals, or to open up more wondrous uses for Sword Seals.
For example, using the Azure Dragon Sword Seal to form a storm that can blow away arrows, or using the Pride Sword Seal to disperse Undead. I can predict that once these Magic Warriors are grouped together, they will completely change the situation on the battlefield.
As for the Magic Archer job that was released at the same time as the Four Elemental Swordcasters, in reality, they only use the explosive long-range attacks of the Sword Seal as a common method, and the Sword Seal enchantment as a variant job for those who are forced to fight with their lives on the line. If one were to forcefully find an obvious difference, it would probably be that the outer armor they choose are mostly bows, muskets and staves.
Of course, there is a limit to an individual's ability. Thus, I unhesitatingly became a hands-off boss, intending to use the collective intelligence.
"Fanderk, Lani, didn't you two complain about being unable to form your own army? I will hand this batch of prototypes over to you first. Fanderk will be in charge of training the Four Elemental Swordcasters, and Lani will be in charge of the Magic Archer. Periodically, we will gather suggestions and new battle techniques. Together, we will perfect this job class. "
Just as Fanderk and Lani happily agreed to my request, I jolted violently. That familiar notification sound echoed in my ears once more.
【Ding! Congratulations, you have triggered an unranked quest (Lowest Epic): My Struggle.】
【Quest Requirements: Do your best to perfect the abilities and techniques of the Four Elemental Swordcasters. Open up new advanced job classes and build a new army. Let this brand-new job system become the darling of the new era.】
【Quest Reward: Based on the completion of the quest, there is no upper limit. If you are able to unearth this job to the level of a SemiGod, the reward will also be at the level of a SemiGod. (Reminder, due to the long duration of the quest, the reward will be triggered and released at irregular intervals.】
【Quest Failure Penalty: None. However, this is your own path. If you were to fail, your path to the top would come to an end. Without sufficient strength, you would not be able to face the challenges of the experts. Your goals would turn into bubbles in the end. This is already the harshest penalty.】
【System Notification: Under your hard work, a brand-new battle job class is about to step onto the stage of history. Magical Engineering has been brought forward by at least 15 years. The karmic threads leading to the end of the world are already in a mess. All of the prophecies are destined to come to nothing … Well done, please continue to topple everything. Only then will your insane goals be realized. Furthermore, the massive amount of Fate Points that you will obtain will allow you to face any opponent, even if she is the legendary Creator Goddess!】
What else could be better than this solemn notification sound to prove that I am on the right path? Thus, I smiled gleefully.
"Fanderk, Lani, I will be depending on you two. Right, the name of the new army hasn't been decided yet. Why don't we call it … "
"Please don't! Your naming will affect the morale of the army! If Lord Bastian dares to call him by his nickname, I guarantee that he will be filled with rage in an instant and grow to the size of a small mountain. "
"Your Highness, why don't you let us handle such a small matter? The name of Olive's Love Egg has already spread far and wide. Initially, she was still happily telling others that it was an alias that you came up with for her, until the opening of the Siren Tracy's adult toy shop … The depressed Olive hasn't stepped out of her house for 10 consecutive days. Everyone is trying to console her. Your Talent in Naming is too powerful. What if you can't recruit anyone after you name it? "
"Yeah, yeah. If the name of the Night Hounds had replaced the Red Hunting Hounds back then, I'm afraid that no one would be able to survive. It is all thanks to Lord Bastian's desperate efforts. "
"Cough, Roland, forget it. This time, the Four Spirits might be a little weird, but it is still acceptable. My opinion of you has changed a little. Everyone knows that your naming standard has been stuck at the level of a primary school student. If another Little Red, Little White, Little Dog and so on were to pop out, the face that you managed to regain with great difficulty would be thrown away. Reconsider. "
Alright, those few Knight who have been following me are so agitated. Even Adam came out to join in on the commotion. However, why does that pained look on his face seem more and more like he is trying to stir up trouble?
Looking at the agitated crowd surrounding me in an attempt to persuade me, I swallowed back the name that was at the tip of my tongue helplessly. Instead, I could only mutter under my breath.
"Obviously, the Twin-headed Chihuahua Army is not bad. It fits the theme and is cute … Since the first completed magic sword is a silver Sacred Sword, why don't we just call it the Silversword Army?"
As far as I could see, even though everyone had clearly heard my 'whispers', they all went about their own business and pretended that they hadn't heard me. And when I walked out of the door, the cheers of "Victory!" behind me made me even more determined.
"Later on, I will head to the military to register the name of the army. You shall be the Super Silversword Army!"
