Summary of Overseas Classes

The first half covered the classes and skills of domestic spirit realm walkers, spanning the Transcendent and Saint stages, with nothing on the Dominator stage. Having long known about the domestic spirit realm walker classes, Zhang Yuanqing skimmed through them and jumped straight to the overseas classes. [Orthodox Faction] [Wind Mage (Transcendent): Active Skills: Wind Chant, Wind Blade, Wind Riding. Passive Skills: Lightness, Agility, Gliding.] [Gale Walker (Saint): Active Skills: Hurricane, Wind Wall, Wind Demon, Wind Clone. Passive Skills: Eye of the Wind King, Flight.] Wind Mages possessed two primary traits: flight and AOE damage. They were the kind that could boast, "I want to fight ten at once!" Very few classes could fly at the Saint stage, but Wind Mages could. They were fully capable of exploiting their aerial advantage to unleash hurricanes and wind blades upon ground enemies. They were the air force among spirit realm walkers, possessing absolute air supremacy. [Thunder Mage (Transcendent): Active Skills: Melee Mage, Thunderball, Blink. Passive Skills: Paralysis, Indomitable, Recharge.] [Punisher Knight (Saint): Active Skills: Lightning Armament, Thunder Domain, Lord of Thunder. Passive Skills: Quick Recharge, Chastisement.] A remarkably formidable class. It could function as a warrior, possessed extraordinary endurance, and wielded unmatched destructive power. A Thunder Mage's skills were self-explanatory; one could tell their practical effects just from their names. Among the Punisher Knight's skills, Lord of Thunder was a prerequisite for Thunder Domain. Only after entering the Lord of Thunder state could one unleash Thunder Domain. Thunder Domain possessed terrifying lethal power, the trade-off being that it rapidly drained spiritual energy. However, Quick Recharge could absorb stray electrical charges from the surrounding atmosphere to replenish spiritual energy, preventing a Punisher Knight from collapsing into a weakened state after deploying Thunder Domain. Yet the true core skill of a Punisher Knight was the passive skill Chastisement. —When a Punisher Knight encountered criminal acts and confronted criminals, all of their abilities received massive boosts, as though aided by heaven. [Love and Desire (Transcendent): Active Skill: Exaction. Passive Skills: Charm, Beauty, Exaction, Ingratiation.] [Queen (Saint): Active Skills: Enchantment, Temptation, Petrification. Passive Skills: Infatuation, Sex Master.] Zhang Yuanqing perked up, thinking, *Now this is what I call interesting.* He focused on the annotations at the end of the class description. The Desire class had virtually no offensive skills; the sole exception was Petrification. The more infatuated a target was with their beauty and body, the more potent the petrification effect would be. At the Transcendent stage, the Desire class possessed only a single active skill: the famous Exaction. The condition to activate this skill was going to bed together. Among the passive skills, Charm and Beauty represented temperament and physical form, respectively. Every member of the Desire class possessed immense charm; their every frown and smile held irresistible allure to the opposite sex, making them stand out even among crowds of beauties. Beauty, on the other hand, honed their figures toward perfection, granting them golden-ratio proportions, keeping their skin in peak condition at all times, and making their breath fragrant and their perspiration sweetly scented. In short, it transformed them into little fairies—flawless in every aspect. Ingratiation allowed those of the Desire class to quickly read a person in a short time, gaining an intimate understanding of their preferences and personality, and subsequently catering to their tastes and temperament. This enabled them to rapidly win favor from both the opposite sex and the same sex. At the Saint stage, Enchantment was an upgraded version of Charm, serving as the Desire class's primary life-preserving skill in the early and mid stages. It drained enemies of their fighting will and filled them with tenderness and affection, making it agonizingly difficult for them to strike a lethal blow. Temptation stimulated the desires of the opposite or same sex through words and glances, getting them into bed in the shortest possible time and fulfilling the prerequisite for Exaction. As for the passive skills: Infatuation and Sex Master. Infatuation: The longer one spent in contact with a member of the Desire class, the more infatuated one became with their beauty. The longer one maintained a romantic affair with them, the more addicted one became to their body. Sex Master: In bedroom technique, the Desire class possessed extraordinary innate talent and finesse, making them completely different creatures from ordinary women. *Suddenly, I understand why the Demon Lord was so hopelessly addicted to the Desire class...* Zhang Yuanqing inwardly quipped. He continued reading: [Siren (Transcendent Stage): Active Skills: Steed Master, Siren's Song. Passive Skills: Siren's Body.] [Sea Monster (Saint Stage): Active Skills: Sea Monster, Dilution. Passive Skills: Scourge of the Ocean.] The Siren class's skills were relatively simple, placing them in the lower tiers among orthodox classes. Their combat prowess on land mainly relied on Steed Master, which allowed them to summon horses to fight. These steeds possessed collision, scapegoat, and extreme-speed abilities. Next came their mesmerizing singing voice, a trait quite similar to the Jiaoren. In addition, the notes mentioned that Sirens all possessed extraordinary physical attractiveness. *Could Jiaoren be a hybrid between Sea Monsters and Water Ghosts...?* Zhang Yuanqing recalled the Jiaoren at Qin Feng Academy. Some of the Siren's abilities overlapped with the Water Ghost's, though only in water manipulation. Past the Saint stage, Water Ghosts began shifting toward plague. Sirens, however, continued to augment their underwater combat strength. While mediocre on land, once in the ocean, they were the most terrifying and horrifying class of all. [Void (Transcendent Stage): Active Skills: Stealth, Theft, Treasure Seeking. Passive Skills: Agility, Concealment, Nimble Mind.] [Merchant (Saint Stage): Active Skills: Trade, Teleportation, Brawler. Passive Skills: Commercial Instinct.] The Transcendent stage skills were all self-explanatory, except for Concealment, which was rather intriguing. It wasn't invisibility; rather, it reduced one's presence to near absolute zero. This reminded Zhang Yuanqing of the Scavenger's Hat that Mr. Bill had once tried to peddle to him, an item rumored to let a user impregnate a woman without her even being able to remember who the father was. Even more exaggerated than turning invisible. At first glance, Teleportation seemed the most impressive, but after reading the notes, Zhang Yuanqing realized just how terrifying the Trade skill truly was. Every Saint was an unscrupulous merchant. They would use persuasive words to bewitch you into trading with them unconsciously. With the slightest lapse in vigilance, swapping a top-tier item for a piece of junk was a frequent occurrence. According to the notes, upon reaching the Dominator stage, the Trade skill was upgraded to Forced Trade. They could trade away your items and skills for useless junk. At the demigod stage, they could even trade away conceptual things, such as the ability to breathe, the ability to think, touch, sight, and so forth. "Wait, isn't this a bit like Little Doubi's ability?!" Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. He thought to himself, *My useless son, who does nothing but crawl around on the floor, actually has a similar power?* Of course, Little Doubi's current level wasn't high enough to trade away skills or thoughts; he could only exchange superficial things like sight, hearing, and touch. [Knight (Transcendent Stage): Active Skills: Contract, Oathkeeping, Charge, Holy Slash. Passive Skills: Fearless Heart, Body of the Knight.] [Judge (Saint Stage): Active Skills: Decree, Judgment. Passive Skills: Impartiality.] Zhang Yuanqing had already seen the Contract and Oathkeeping skills in action. Charge and Holy Slash were, as the names implied, offensive attacks. Fearless Heart was an enhancement to willpower. Body of the Knight was similar to a Scout's Body of the Scout, greatly improving physical capabilities, granting innate combat prowess, and conferring extraordinary combat talent. The Saint stage skills were very intriguing. Decree: enact laws and establish rules. Once someone violated the established rules, Judgment would trigger, blessing the Knight with divine strength to punish the violator. It was a formidable and fascinating class in battle. Notably, the notes mentioned that those who awakened into this class were individuals who possessed a strong sense of justice and acted with profound fairness in reality. Consequently, members of this class were extremely scarce, and most of them led ascetic lives. "Demonic Eye would probably love the Knight class..." Zhang Yuanqing then proceeded to read the summary of overseas evil classes. [Lethal Poisoner (Transcendent Stage): Active Skills: Poison Master, Dissemination. Passive Skills: Body of Myriad Poisons.] [Aberrant (Saint Stage): Active Skills: Demon, Aberration, Poison Smoke. Passive Skills: Cold-blooded.] This was the evil class with the fewest skills Zhang Yuanqing had ever seen, but upon reading the annotations, he realized it offered the greatest operational versatility. Poison Master came with the ability to identify and concoct poisons, enabling the creation of viruses with various functions and effects. On that alone, the class possessed enormous strategic flexibility. Dissemination allowed toxins to spread through air, water, saliva, contact, and more. Countless tricks could be pulled off with it. At the Saint stage, Demon granted many abilities, such as fire, combat prowess, self-healing, and mind control. The core skill, Aberration, could mutate humans, animals, and plants into monsters. Depending on how they were cultivated, each aberration variant would possess distinct traits—fire, poison, flight, mind control, or melee combat... As for the passive skills, Body of Myriad Poisons and Cold-blooded: the former conferred complete immunity to poisons while turning the user's entire body into a toxic conduit, so even their exhaled breath could carry lethal toxins. Cold-blooded kept the mind sharp at all times, making them an eternally calm, cold-blooded hunter. [Alcoholic (Transcendent Stage): Active Skills: Brain Paralysis, Sensory Disruption, Cognitive Distortion. Passive Skills: Drunkard's Wrath, Alcohol Dependence.] [Disorderly (Saint Stage): Active Skills: Revelry, Desperado, Inverter. Passive Skills: Master Brewer.] A class that governed chaos. At the Transcendent stage, it focused primarily on crowd control, lacking raw destructive force. The Saint stage remained similar. Revelry was an AOE crowd control skill that compelled targets within a certain range to sing and dance recklessly, ignoring real-world danger to party their hearts out. Desperado was the core skill, specializing in exploiting loopholes in rules. Upon reaching the Dominator stage, it could even alter or erase rules, making it utterly terrifying. The passive skills of this class were quite amusing. Alcohol Dependence: every single one was a drunkard. Drunkard's Wrath: combat strength surged drastically when drunk, but at the expense of their brains. Master Brewer was the most potent. The Disorderly could brew enticing liquor capable of intoxicating enemies with its aroma alone. If someone couldn't resist taking a sip, they would completely lose all capacity to act. [Eternal Night (Transcendent Stage): Active Skills: Quiescence, Dormancy, Sealing. Passive Skills: Photophobia, Longevity.] [Abyss Apostle (Saint Stage): Active Skills: Abyss, Nightfall. Passive Skills: Silence.] The annotation contained a single sentence: *Members of this class are exceedingly rare, leaving few traces behind, elusive like dragons veiled in mist.* Spirit realm walkers of this class were either self-sealed or asleep. They disliked speaking, disliked leaving home, and loved sleeping, spending most of their time lying inside coffins. When they did need to go out, their coffins would fly around, plunging all living creatures in their path into deep sleep or silence. At the Transcendent stage, they excelled at sealing and sleeping. Their weakness was fear of light, while their advantage was longevity. At the Saint stage, they generated a domain—an abyss shrouded in a black curtain. Spirit realm walkers entering this domain would see their abilities gradually drain away and fall into slumber. The Abyss state vanished once they were awoken, so the passive skill Silence shielded them from external disturbances, allowing them to keep sleeping. *A remarkably pure class. Few skills, yet unimaginably terrifying...* Zhang Yuanqing silently let out a breath after finishing all the overseas class dossiers. "Huh, they have one fewer class than our domestic district," Brother Red Chicken remarked. "It seems that whether at home or abroad, evil classes are equally bizarre and terrifying," Yuan Ting said with feeling, raising a hand to ask, "Are the overseas evil classes also peak classes?" "Yes," the dean replied definitively. "Among the orthodox classes, which one is the peak class?" San Yang Kai Tai Tai asked, quickly ducking his head to avoid drawing attention from the other trainees. He had yet to emerge from yesterday's shadow. "There are no peak classes in the overseas orthodox faction. Currently, the only peak class in the orthodox faction is the Night Walker." Dean Li Yanxi swept a glance across the four Night Walkers in the front row and said, "Scholars hypothesize that the Night Walker might be the most special class of all, but as to why that is, no one knows." Seeing the trainees gradually lift their heads and tear their eyes away from the papers, Dean Li Yanxi spoke: "The characteristics of the overseas classes are all written on the page, so I won't repeat them. Now, let's talk about the overseas organizations. Just like us, each class has a corresponding organization. "Wind Mages and Thunder Mages form the renowned Heaven's Punishment, currently the most powerful orthodox organization. Heaven's Punishment doesn't just consist of Thunder Mages and Wind Mages; it encompasses virtually all orthodox classes. Many prominent figures in the Five Elements Alliance were once members of Heaven's Punishment. "The Love and Desire class established the Association of God of Beauty. While their core membership is small, their affiliates are spread across every major organization. Many mid-to-high-ranking figures in overseas orthodox organizations are members of the Association of God of Beauty. Heh, I don't need to spell out why they joined, do I?" Disdain and contempt flashed across the female trainees' faces. As an affiliate of the Association of God of Beauty himself, Zhang Yuanqing felt a pang of guilt. "The organization formed by Sirens was originally called the Church of the Sea God. Early this century, it changed its name to the Ocean Shipping Company. They run shipping fleets and rarely operate on land. Even Heaven's Punishment and the evil organizations don't dare provoke them on the open seas." Dean Li Yanxi took a sip of water. "The Void class established the Merchant Guild, the largest commercial bloc among spirit realm walkers. As long as you are willing to pay, you can buy anything from them, including rule-based items. "Their wealth is unfathomable. The major orthodox organizations—and even evil organizations—have taken loans from them. The Merchant Guild is the financial backer to everyone. "The organization formed by the Knight class is called the Order of the Knights. It has few members, scattered across Europe and America, and its internal hierarchy is extremely loose. Most Knights live like ascetics, roaming far and wide in arduous cultivation. Remember, their combat power is terrifyingly formidable. "The evil organizations are the Biological Alchemy Society, the Dionysus Club, and the Church of the Abyss, each having numerous branches across Europe and America..." As everyone chewed over the information on the major organizations, Yuan Ting eagerly chimed in: "Dean, you mentioned earlier that many big shots in the Five Elements Alliance originated from Heaven's Punishment? Could you tell us who specifically? I swear I won't tell a soul." Li Yanxi glanced at him and said: "The Grand Marshal of the White Tiger Guards, and Fear Heavenly King of the Soldier Master sect. Speaking of which, the two of them were classmates who studied together at Qin Feng Academy. Yes, Fear used to belong to the Five Elements Alliance as well." "What?!" Yuan Ting was dumbstruck. The other trainees raised their heads in equal shock, staring at the dean. "Wait... wait a second..." Xiahou Aotian stammered in bewilderment. "Isn't Fear Heavenly King a Bewitching Demon? How could he have been a member of the Five Elements Alliance?"
