One of the items was a job scroll, and the job title was Flame Sprite Master. This profession was quite famous in the past life.
The reasons for its notoriety were twofold: firstly, the fire-based attack capabilities of this profession were extremely powerful, encompassing both single-target and area-of-effect skills. Although single-target and area skills each have their own merits and serve different purposes in combat, when it came to hunting mutated life forms, area skills often demonstrated greater advantages.
The most renowned single-target skill of the Flame Sprite Master was the Pillar of Fire, which was an extremely pure burning skill that inflicted damage on targets solely through high temperatures. Perhaps it was precisely due to the absence of impacts, fire poison, or other capabilities that made it purely intimidating. A maximum level eight-star Flame Sprite Master using the Pillar of Fire could even pose a threat to formidable beings equipped with purple defensive gear, highlighting the exceptional nature of this ability.
The area skill, Extreme Fire Spreading, was humorously dubbed the closest thing to a forbidden spell from Western novels for non-nine-star evolvers. In the past, it had created a terrifying record of eliminating over ten thousand mutated life forms with a single skill.
Another factor that made this profession enviable was that upon reaching the highest level, the Flame Sprite Master would acquire a transformation ability, allowing them to become a flame entity, granting immunity to all damage except for ice and water types! This included physical attacks! When Ye Zhongming first heard about this concept in his past life, he was speechless for a long time.
Imagine an evolver capable of transforming into a Flame Sprite Master facing an evolver who didn't use ice or water types—such a scenario would likely leave the opponent wishing for death. Perhaps due to the sheer power of this ability, there were many restrictions associated with it.
Firstly, similar to Park Soo-young's messenger of light, anyone who learned this profession could only possess this one job. Secondly, the professional skills of this job consumed a great deal of mental energy. Because they could not learn other professions, the mental energy of the Flame Sprite Master could only be increased through potions or brain worms, which were not easy to obtain.
Therefore, although Ye Zhongming had heard of a few individuals who possessed this profession, most were the type that would fizzle out after a few attacks; once their skills were evaded, they became entirely passive. Lastly, there were human factors to consider. Because this profession was too powerful, many people were unwilling to see opposing forces or even other factions possess such beings, leading to various means by which these Flame Sprite Masters faced unfortunate fates, with most ending up as cold remains.
As far as Ye Zhongming knew, none of the nine-star evolvers in his past life were Flame Sprite Masters.
When he asked about the origin of this scroll, Xiao Peng said it was exchanged for all the Battle Beast Eggs he had obtained during this time.
By the seaside, many mutated life forms retained the habit of returning to shore to reproduce, providing evolvers with many opportunities to obtain Battle Beast Eggs. Cloud Port was the largest force along this coastline, and they naturally acquired a significant amount of these items; Xiao Peng claimed there were at least a thousand.
Exchanging over a thousand Battle Beast Eggs for such a scroll made Ye Zhongming uncertain about its worth. It primarily depended on whether those eggs contained extremely precious varieties. If they did, then it would be a loss for Cloud Port, but if not, it would certainly be a gain.
Considering the long cultivation period from hatching a Battle Beast Egg to raising it to maturity, Ye Zhongming felt that if it were him, he would also trade for such a scroll.
The second item that delighted Ye Zhongming was a card, which was a functional card. The card detailed a skill called—Black Halo Shield.
