My Shadow Betrays Me And Becomes The Shadow Lord Overnight - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Chapter 33:’One-Punch Priest’

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A few days later, Zhang Yun successfully raised his constitution and strength points to D+, the standard of a Level-1 Professional. He relied on his self-harm training method to achieve it.

Furthermore…

Zhang Yun took it seriously.

He tried his best to make every single ‘Clarity’ spell count.

Zhang Yun could increase his attribute points with the greatest effect due to the “Divine Body Cultivation Method”.

The result of this was that his constitution and strength points, which had been insanely increased, were not comparable to weak D+ Priests but D+ Priests whose offense and defense reached the first level.

What kind of concept was this?

Zhang Yun’s current Spirit and Agility Attributes still followed the standard of a Level-1 Priest. One was a relatively good D+ grade while the other was an insignificant D-grade.

However, his Constitution and Strength Attributes could already match Level-5 Priests. They were both excellent D+ grades.

Some people might ask…

Wasn’t the physical damage of a Level-5 Priest barely on par with a Level-1 C-grade Professional?

Wasn’t this too weak?

No!

After all, the skill set of priests was too domineering. Not only could they instantly heal wounds and eliminate pain, but they could also recover mana and increase the team’s combat power.

In this situation, if they could still be tanky and have high damage output, why the hell would they choose other classes?

Wouldn’t it be great if all the priests could do an uppercut?

Before fighting, a priest could give himself a few buffs, kill his opponent with one punch, and then heal himself after the fight to keep himself in peak condition!

Priests were simply invincible…

In addition, when forming a party to challenge dungeons and underground cities, the experience gained from killing monsters would be divided equally among each member, and then, it would increase or decrease according to the differences in their level.

This led to…

Priests didn’t even need to personally go into battle to kill enemies. They could easily obtain a steady stream of experience points to level up.

They didn’t need to pursue offensive abilities, which was their weakness.

There was no need to engage in close combat with dungeon event monsters.

Priests could just stay behind all of their teammates and treat them as meat shields. They could casually eat ribs and earn money while savoring a few mouthfuls of milk and fish.

Was this not good?

By the same logic, Zhang Yun’s current unscientific Strength and Constitution would be questioned by others once they were exposed.

How come a healer like Zhang Yun could deal more physical damage than a Doomsday Iron Fist?

What did he unlock?

For this, Zhang Yun had specially prepared a solution. It was to disguise himself as a rare class holder.

Or he could pretend to be a chosen one.

Professionals could only see each other’s level, worn equipment, and the effects of casted skills. They could not actually detect each other’s detailed panel.

Unless one of the parties granted access.

It was similar to a night raid on a widow’s village. The widow would have to personally open the door.

Even the testing machine used by the school could only evaluate the Attribute Growth Rate, Overall Evaluation, and other potential values of the professionals. There was no way to see their detailed skills and talent panel.

Therefore…

Zhang Yun would be fine as long as it wasn’t too outrageous.

For example, Brother Shadow had the ‘Shadow Lord’ class. Meaning, he could move on his own, travel through time and space, and even change history…

Other people would just take it for granted that you were strong. They would assume you had awakened some powerful rare class or awakened some powerful talent.

Zhang Yun was a genius!

What was so strange about that?

At most, the others would feel envious!

Wuwuwu…

“Come, report your Spirit Growth Rate. Is it at a D+?”

“It is only D-? Well, I’m sorry, but this Spirit Attribute is a little weak. Your magic orb might not be able to kill monsters instantly. It will just increase the pressure on our survival!”

“Yes, that’s right! The other attribute requirements can be poor, but the Spirit Attribute cannot be lowered. That’s a must.”

“I’m really sorry.”

In the Team-Formation Hall of the Professional Alliance, the leader in charge of recruiting temporary team members and the professional in charge of registering fighters shuttled back and forth in the crowd. They were looking for suitable teammates.

The so-called leader…

It did not refer to the head of the Professional Alliance.

The professionals were lucky enough to get the qualification to clear a dungeon or underground from the ‘lottery’ of the Professional Alliance.

After all…

The number of dungeons and underground cities was extremely small. There was also a limit on the number of people and daily challenges. It could not meet the dungeon-farming needs of every professional in the city.

The Professionals Alliance could only use a lucky draw system to randomly distribute the admission qualifications.

One draw every day.

If you won, you could enter the dungeon or underground once a day and obtain all the rewards inside.

However, most of the team leaders had average strength. They wouldn’t be able to take all the resources in the dungeon and the underground city.

They could only come to the Team-Formation Hall and find qualified teammates to form a party to challenge the dungeon. Only then would they have a chance to clear the dungeon.

This was an opportunity for the professionals who didn’t get the right to enter.

If Zhang Yun could be chosen by a team leader…

Even if it was just a small one and not a multi-layered dungeon, they would still have to share the loot with the others, and they could get more rewards than the Reality Invasion Event.

If Zhang Yun was not chosen…

It didn’t matter.

Today, he would leave the Professional Alliance and find a place to train his body. He wanted to see if he could get one or two attribute points.

Then, he would pay attention to the news in the city at all times. Once the Reality Invasion Event appeared and he met the conditions to enter, he would rush to the scene as soon as possible.

It would be fine even if the Time-Limited Invasion Dungeon had already been cleared by someone else by the time he arrived.

As long as the duration was not up, the monsters inside would still give experience points. However, there were much fewer monsters than in dungeons, so Zhang Yun had to clear the dungeon many times before the experience points could be compared to that of dungeons of the same level.

Furthermore, those randomly spawned low-level herbs and ores would not be taken by others. As long as you entered and mined them before the time limit was up, they could become your spoils of war.

(NOTE: The Reality Invasion Event that each team enters is an independent space, and the resources given are different.)

This was the daily life of a professional.

Drawing lottery, forming a group, training, and exploring dungeons…

Three dots and one line.

The reason why Zhang Yun came here was to see if he could sneak into a group. While earning money and leveling up, he could also test his Strength Attribute, which was comparable to a D+ of a ‘C’ Professional

The initial D+ Spirit Attribute Growth Rate was coupled with two excellent pieces of equipment that increased healing effects, and the mana recovery skill, Clarity, which was considered a godly skill in the early stages.

Even if Zhang Yun didn’t show off his powerful strength as a ‘One-Punch Priest’…

He was a Level-1 Newbie who had just come out of school.

He had no experience at all.

There would still be a large number of leaders who would rush to invite him to join the team and personally offer him expensive mana recovery items while shouting:

“Master Priest, you’re out of mana? Don’t panic, I have a mana potion here. Please drink, drink as much as you want! I promise you’ll be full in large quantities!”
