In the previous acquisition of ten profession scrolls, Ye Zhongming chose one.
His professions were already numerous, including radiant seal blade master, deadly marksmanship master, glorious artisan, gardener, and more. However, he was aware of what he still lacked.
He was missing a close-combat, unarmed fighting profession.
Strictly speaking, this may be due to the perfect inclination influenced by his reincarnation. After all, in the apocalypse, being able to obtain one or two profession scrolls was already quite impressive, and not many people had the right to be picky.
But in Ye Zhongming's view, he aimed to compensate for any "deficiencies" he could think of.
So when he saw this profession among the ten scrolls, he was immediately tempted.
“Celestial Dragon Body Cultivator!”
Another premium profession with a prefix!
At this point, Ye Zhongming's vision had become quite discerning; not much could catch his eye. Yet when he saw this profession scroll, he could not suppress his desire to claim it for himself. He had initially promised to give all ten scrolls to his subordinates, but he had to go back on his word this time, promising instead to compensate with a five-star evolution potion.
This approach met no resistance from the warriors of Cloud Summit Villa; on the contrary, it moved many of them.
In the apocalypse, there were very few bosses who could do such a thing. Typically, a leader would take half or even most of the resources of a team. Warriors of Cloud Summit had never seen a leader like Ye Zhongming who would take something and still offer compensation.
Moreover, he had personally led most of them to the third level, which invisibly increased his prestige significantly.
“Python God Finger!”
In such a life-and-death moment, Ye Zhongming would not be polite. No matter how arrogant he was, he would never consider the vice president of the zero commerce association, a giant organization, to be easily dealt with; this was a true expert qualified to contest with him.
Even if he appeared incredibly effeminate.
Python God Finger was the first occupational skill of a trainee celestial dragon body cultivator, a sharp melee finger technique that used the powerful attack of a single point to replace fist and palm strikes, causing maximum damage.
With a move of his left hand, Ye Zhongming pointed towards Chou Zhi Song's right chest, while slightly shifting his right foot to the side. Two fingers of his right hand were suddenly engulfed in red light, snapping against a crescent-shaped Light Blade.
That was the occupational skill of Chou Zhi Song, the divine pattern light steward—Crescent Moonlight Slash.
Ye Zhongming had learned about the divine pattern light steward profession in his past life; it was a powerful melee profession. However, like its formidable strength, the skills of this profession not only consumed mental energy but also required a certain charging time, allowing the patterns on the body to become complete.
Previously, Chou Zhi Song had spoken those two sentences to slightly delay time, enabling the patterns to form more quickly.
But Ye Zhongming saw through it.
In this situation, the two completed their first direct confrontation.
Ye Zhongming's attack was blocked by Chou Zhi Song's other hand, where a small light shield appeared in his palm.
Both retreated a step.
Chou Zhi Song's expression darkened further.
Ye Zhongming’s retreat was for his next attack, while Chou Zhi Song retreated to dissipate the force transmitted from the light shield.
This was the first time this vice president of the zero commerce association was pushed back while using a professional skill!
Such a situation had never occurred before, not even against that mysterious president who had not been able to achieve this when at the same level.
And Ye Zhongming accomplished it.
Chou Zhi Song’s competitive spirit surged to the highest point!
Ye Zhongming was also slightly surprised; combining a professional skill with blazing flame combat technique had only forced this person back a step!?
