A flash of white light, and the scene before Ye Lin changed dramatically.
Before him now was a dense forest, with sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows on him.
"Random teleportation? That's fine. I was worried about having to distance myself from others." Ye Lin stretched, then began his monster-hunting journey.
Not long after he set out, he encountered a cute, round creature that looked like a cat, covered in pink fur, like a living doll that could melt many girls' hearts.
"A level one Pink Leopard Cat?"
Ye Lin wasn't fooled by its cuteness. This little guy might look adorable, but it was a real monster that could easily bite through an adult's throat.
The Pink Leopard Cat rolled on the ground, purring, trying to lure Ye Lin closer for a fatal attack.
But Ye Lin's response was simple. He just stretched out his right hand.
"Forbidden Spell: World-Ending Thunderbolt!"
Boom!
Thunder rumbled down from the sky. The Pink Leopard Cat let out a sharp meow and was instantly terrified. What was it doing? It just came out to hunt because it was hungry. Did it deserve to be struck by lightning?
Facing Ye Lin's immediate use of a forbidden spell, the Pink Leopard Cat couldn't even escape and was instantly turned to charcoal by the falling lightning.
[You have killed a level one Pink Leopard Cat. You have gained 10 experience points.]
"Only 10 experience points for killing a level one monster? To reach level two, I'd need to kill 100 level one monsters. This is too slow. Anyway, all my skills are forbidden spells. Maybe I should venture deeper into this forest."
Ye Lin turned and disappeared into the thick woods.
"Forbidden Spell: World-Ending Thunderbolt!"
[You have killed a level two Killer Bee. You have gained 20 experience points.]
"Forbidden Spell: World-Ending Thunderbolt!"
[You have killed a level three Grey Wolf. You have gained 30 experience points.]
"Forbidden Spell: World-Ending Thunderbolt!"
[You have killed a level five Jungle Harpy. You have gained 50 experience points.]
For the rest of the time, the forest, long peaceful, was disrupted by a series of thunderbolts, with lightning bolts rolling down from the distant sky from time to time.
Ye Lin pushed through, using the same forbidden spell against both level one and level five monsters, treating all creatures equally.
With continuous casting, he became increasingly proficient with the World-Ending Thunderbolt, even able to cast it instantly without any pre-cast delay.
With this almost insane monster-killing efficiency, Ye Lin quickly reached level two.
It was only about an hour since he entered the novice secret realm. An average of one level-up per hour. If this news got out, it would surely shock many people.
After leveling up, Ye Lin unlocked a new forbidden spell.
Name: Ye Lin
Occupation: Cursed Sorcerer
Level: 2 (13.14%)
Strength: 20
Agility: 30
Spirit: 60
Occupational Talent: Endless Cursed Spell, each level-up of a Cursed Sorcerer unlocks one cursed spell.
Skills: Cursed Spell? World-Ending Thunderbolt, Cursed Spell? Burning Reincarnation
Cursed Spell? World-Ending Thunderbolt: The Cursed Sorcerer sacrifices a part of their body to summon a world-ending thunderbolt from the heavens. The more vital the sacrificed body part, the higher the grade of the summoned thunderbolt. The highest grade is the Chaos Divine Thunderbolt, and its power depends on the Cursed Sorcerer's own level and spirit power.
Cursed Spell? Burning Reincarnation: The Cursed Sorcerer burns their own life force to significantly enhance their strength, agility, and spirit power.
Note: Cursed Sorcerers have no cost or cooldown when casting cursed spells.
Following the newly unlocked cursed spell, there is a small note.
Note: The Burning Reincarnation skill consumes a large amount of life force and once consumed, it cannot be restored. Please use this skill with caution.
"Use this skill with caution?" Ye Lin nodded obediently and then shouted loudly.
"Cursed Spell? Burning Reincarnation!"
Blood-colored flames appeared all over Ye Lin's body as his life force was burning continuously, even evaporating the blood in his body into blood flames.
At the same time, his strength, agility, and spirit power all doubled, with his spirit power soaring to a terrifying 120 points.
"What a terrifying cursed spell! In this state of Burning Reincarnation, even a level 10 monster would find it hard to withstand my full-powered World-Ending Thunderbolt, right?"
Ye Lin was immersed in excitement and didn't notice that his hair was turning white at an alarming rate, his skin was becoming loose, and his once clear eyes were becoming cloudy.
In just five minutes, Ye Lin transformed from a teenager into an old man with white hair and a hunched back.
Ye Lin raised his hand to look at his palm, which was like dry tree bark, and muttered to himself.
"Would I age this much in just five minutes? If I don't want to be exposed, I can only use Burning Reincarnation for about a minute."
Ye Lin didn't stop Burning Reincarnation but allowed his life force to continue burning. Then, a strange scene occurred. The old and hunched Ye Lin began to reverse his aging and returned to his youthful appearance.
With his immortal body, he already had unlimited life force, and the side effects of Burning Reincarnation were nothing to him.
The immortal body had obvious flaws, and the Cursed Sorcerer profession had even more obvious flaws. But when the immortal body was combined with the Cursed Sorcerer profession, the world would truly experience the terror of cursed spells flying everywhere!
Ye Lin kept Burning Reincarnation active and started a new round of slaughter.
With his own 120 spirit points and the Revelation Ring given by the principal, his spirit power reached a terrifying 130 points. Even the most ordinary thunderbolt summoned had an extremely terrifying power, as if a world-ending thunder dragon was charging down.
Ye Lin now had full confidence to break through the novice secret realm directly!
[50 experience points for killing a level 5 two-headed snake]
[60 experience points for killing a level 6 iron-armored scorpion]
[60 experience points for killing a level 6 centaur]
As he delved deeper, the monsters appearing before Ye Lin became increasingly powerful, with the weakest being level 5 monsters.
However, these powerful monsters were as fragile as paper when facing Ye Lin, who was only two levels higher. They were almost instantly killed upon meeting him.
A thunderbolt struck down, and no matter what level the monster was, it was reduced to ashes. The faint smell of roasted meat lingered in the air wherever Ye Lin passed. It was the scent of the monsters being cooked by the intense heat of the lightning. Ye Lin became more and more proficient as he continued to kill, as if he were the god of thunder himself, with each wave of his hand sending out a thunderous curse. "The novice's secret realm is truly fraught with danger. What a thrilling and satisfying training experience!"
