Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents

Chapter 485: Chapter 125: Main Profession, One Out of Four (2)

The reason for his choice was actually quite simple.

The Sigmar Combat Priest was arguably the most well-rounded of all Professions, possessing top-tier mechanics that combined damage, defense, dispels, healing, and enhancement buffs.

Qin Feng was all too aware of his current situation.

All his Lord Talents were now void. The infinite Healing from his Evil Aura, which had once made him nearly Invincible as he dominated the Mortal Realm, had long since been completely sealed by the rules of the Divine Realm.

In the future, if he encountered powerful enemies from the Abyss with Percentage Health Loss abilities, only the Sigmar Combat Priest offered a counter. Among the four candidate Professions, it was the only one that could potentially learn a percentage healing skill, allowing him to fight back and wear down opponents through sheer attrition.

And if he ran into enemies skilled in control, the Combat Priest’s Purification and Dispel Divine Arts could precisely counter them. It could nullify skills like bindings, stuns, and Spirit corrosion, ensuring he always held the initiative on the battlefield.

As for the Ranger, Qin Feng had to admit he was tempted.

But after calming down and thinking it through, he realized the Ranger’s proud damage-dealing skills were merely the icing on the cake, especially now that Multi-shot Arrow was sealed by the rules.

Its true core value lay in the Eagle Eye skill, which could see through illusions and cover vast distances, providing its user with an unparalleled advantage in Field of View and intelligence.

But Qin Feng had just stepped into the Divine Domain. He knew nothing of the dangers in this new world, and there was no telling what kind of enemy he might encounter next.

The Ranger’s "squishy" nature—low health and defense—combined with the mechanical flaw of having no Healing abilities, made it far too easy to fail during this perilous pioneering phase in the Divine Realm. The slightest mistake could lead to irreversible doom.

Besides, Qin Feng already had a backup plan in mind.

Later, once he had accumulated enough Fire of Faith, he could use his Summoned Warhorse Talent to bring Ashes into the Divine Domain and make it his Exclusive Mount.

Then, by spending more resources to evolve Ashes’s unique Clone ability, it could temporarily replicate the Reconnaissance effect of the Ranger’s Eagle Eye, perfectly compensating for his lack of vision.

At the same time, the Sigmar Combat Priest Profession wouldn’t prevent him from using Multi-shot Arrow.

The lack of the Ranger Profession only meant Qin Feng couldn’t use the Professional Skills mastered by Rangers and archers. It didn’t mean he was incapable of drawing a bow and firing an arrow, nor did it mean arrows fired from a Divinely-gifted bow would deal less damage.

As for the Gray Lord and the Necromancer, Qin Feng ruled them out for similar reasons.

Much like the Ranger, both of these Professions were "squishy," lacking core healing abilities and reliable survival skills. During the pioneering phase in the Divine Realm, where information was scarce and dangers lurked everywhere, this was an extremely perilous weakness.

Qin Feng knew very well that without the support of his Lord Talents, choosing such a fragile Profession meant that the slightest misstep could lead to a point of no return. He would never bet his life on such a gamble.

The Necromancer seemed to have crowd-control potential with its Summon Undead Corps, but Qin Feng saw its shortcomings at a glance.

The Undead Soldiers from the Mortal Realm had always relied on the strength of his Talents for support. Now in the Divine Domain, without upgrades from Divine Gift skills and without being armed with a sufficient amount of Divinely-gifted weapons and armor, these Undead Soldiers would be nothing more than ordinary skeletons, completely lacking any Divine Power. Against Demons like the Abyssal Demon Wolf, which retained a formidable physical body even after being suppressed by the rules, they would be utterly useless—no different from a decorative vase that was all show and no substance.

Furthermore, the Gray Lord’s core Big Move, Spirit Control, was fraught with uncertainty.

Qin Feng wasn’t even sure that it would work on the creatures of the Abyssal Faction, with their twisted wills and warped souls, even if he spent a massive amount of Fire of Faith to upgrade it into a Divine Gift skill.

After all, the psyche of Abyssal Creatures was often completely different from that of beings from the Mortal Realm. If control failed, a Gray Lord with no self-preservation abilities would be nothing more than another soul claimed by their claws.

So, no matter how you looked at it, choosing the Sigmar Combat Priest as his main Profession was the best option at this stage.

Having settled on the Sigmar Combat Priest as his main Profession, Qin Feng no longer hesitated. He raised the Silver Moon City Standard Longbow, nocked an arrow, and fixed his gaze on a lone Abyssal Demon Wolf in the woods.

At this moment, he and Su Mumu, who was engaged in close combat with her Divine Longsword up ahead, formed a perfect long-range and close-range combination.

Su Mumu’s Divine Longsword danced in a flurry of sharp strikes, holding the Demon Wolf’s attention completely. Amidst the flashing sword light, the wolf’s attacks were repeatedly interrupted.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng stood in the shadow of a tree. His bowstring hummed, and arrows tore through the air. Each shot landed precisely in the gaps between the Demon Wolf’s scales where its defense was weakest. The Divine Energy Arrows, imbued with a power that countered the Abyss, continuously chipped away at the Demon Wolf’s health.

One held it down in close combat while the other reaped from a distance. They coordinated so seamlessly it was as if they had practiced a thousand times. The howls of wolves rose and fell throughout the woods, but they gradually faded amidst the clang of metal and the whistle of arrows.

Once the number of Abyssal Demon Wolves they had killed together just barely met the minimum requirement of the novice quest—"Kill at least ten"—Qin Feng and Su Mumu didn’t linger for a second. They immediately turned and headed back toward Silver Moon City.

Just as expected, everything that followed went exactly as Qin Feng had predicted.

After returning to the castle hall to turn in the quest, the official at the Silver Moon City quest board casually tossed them their reward: the core resource of the Divine Domain—Fire of Faith.

The amount they received was just enough for a new Ascender to upgrade one normal skill from their chosen main Profession into a true Divine Gift skill.

But a quick calculation made Qin Feng frown.

The Fire of Faith he received from the daily prayers of his followers in the Mortal Realm was only a third of the total amount needed to upgrade one normal skill.

This meant that if he did nothing, he would have to remain idle in the Divine Domain for at least three days just to gather enough resources to upgrade a single normal skill.

As for the Heaven-defying Riding and Cutting Talents that had allowed him to dominate the Mortal Realm?

Qin Feng glanced at the astronomical Fire of Faith costs listed next to those Talents on his Attributes panel and shook his head helplessly.

In the short term, he couldn’t even dream of upgrading them into Divine Gift skills.

However, although the Sigmar Combat Priest’s Ultimate Skill cost significantly more Fire of Faith than a normal skill, it wouldn’t be too difficult to unlock its Divine Gift form as long as Qin Feng put in some effort and diligently farmed monsters for resources over the next few days.

With this in mind, Qin Feng stopped hesitating. He closed his eyes, his focus turning inward, and channeled the meager amount of Fire of Faith he had just obtained entirely into the Sigmar Combat Priest’s basic skill, Healing Hand, prioritizing the unlocking of this key Healing skill’s Divine Gift form.

He recalled the earlier fight with the Abyssal Demon Wolves. Even though he and Su Mumu had been on high alert the entire time, doing their utmost to Dodge, they had still been unavoidably grazed by the wolves’ claws, leaving them with several wounds of varying depths.

If he didn’t have a healing skill for emergency recovery, he would have probably had to spend a considerable amount of Fire of Faith to buy healing items from other Ascenders or Deities, or to purchase the rights to use a healing skill.

For a newcomer to the Divine Realm, this expense would undoubtedly be a heavy burden.

Qin Feng waved to Su Mumu, who was still wiping the blood from her Longsword. A soft, golden halo was already swirling in his palm.

"Come here!"

"Mumu!"

"Stand still."

The halo slowly descended onto the scratch on Su Mumu’s shoulder. The pale golden Divine Power seeped into the wound, and the torn flesh healed and scabbed over at a visible rate.

Qin Feng pulled his hand back, and the Holy Light at his fingertips gradually faded.

"I’ll heal the injuries you just took first."

"After this, go to the quest hall and see if there are any other novice quests to pick up. Since we don’t know what to do for now, we’ll just rely on quests to farm more Fire of Faith."

He looked up at the bustling streets outside the castle, a calculating glint in his eyes.

"And I’ll go wander the main streets of Silver Moon City and see if I can use this healing skill to earn some extra Fire of Faith."
