"This weapon had been lying around unused at the university for quite some time—looks like it's finally found its true owner."
Weapons, generally speaking, are classified by quality: Common (Whiteboard), Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Legendary.
Each quality tier is further divided into star ratings, with 1 to 3 stars being the most common.
However, with the help of some Enchanters, weapons can break past their original specifications—4-star, 5-star, even 6-star gear isn't unheard of.
Of course...
Generally speaking, it's not worth enchanting a low-quality weapon. Instead of wasting money trying to upgrade it, it's better to just switch to a higher-grade one.
After all, enchanting carries significant risk. A failed enchantment might lower a weapon's star rating, degrade its quality—or in the worst cases—shatter it entirely.
Many people spend a lifetime's savings on their main weapon. A failed enchantment could be nothing short of a personal catastrophe.
So, the general consensus in the market is to discourage ordinary folks from blindly trying to enchant and upgrade their gear.
"High-quality, multi-form transformation weapons are hard to come by…"
"There wasn't really any 'weird' demand like this on the market before. So, just treat this 'Demonic·Formation Breaker' as the foundation for your new weapon."
"Once you've gathered enough enchantment materials, you can ask a Master Enchanter to help upgrade its star rating."
"All of this can be done right here at Jiangnan University—so long as you earn enough academic credits."
The Jiangnan University instructor who had accompanied him patiently explained everything to Yun Chen.
After receiving his three-form transformation weapon—designed specifically for Unclassed Drifters—Yun Chen was also gifted the first batch of promised skill .
As the top scorer of Jiangnan Province, his welcome gift couldn't be anything cheap or shabby.
From Fusang Country's Onmyoji class, he was given three beginner skills:
'Shikigami·Earthbound Spirit'
This skill lets you place Earthbound Spirits within a designated area. Anyone who enters it becomes confused and finds it difficult to move.
It's somewhat similar to a Mechanic's trap.
'Shikigami·Wind Spirit'
Functions like a sustained buff—while the Wind Spirit is active, movement and attack speed both increase.
'Cursed Spell·Soul Delusion'
A single-target curse that muddles the target's mind.
Affected enemies may miss their attacks, lose track of the enemy's position, or even become unable to tell how many enemies are present.
As a unique class from Fusang, the Onmyoji excels at exorcisms, curses, and spiritual summoning.
While they're just as fragile as Mages, they don't boast the same kind of AoE burst damage.
However...
Onmyoji are incredibly difficult to deal with, especially since their Shikigami summons make them function like Summoners.
In addition to that...
Yun Chen also received beginner skills from other Fusang classes like the Ninja—such as 'Smoke Bomb' and 'Illusion Trick'.
From the Samurai class: 'Charged Slash' and 'Iaido Slash'.
From the Western nations' Demon Hunter class: 'Exorcism', 'Hunting Hour', and 'Silver Bullet'.
It's worth noting that the Demon Hunter class is also a dual-weapon class, requiring both blades and firearms.
A classic image of a Demon Hunter would be someone wearing a cowboy hat, smoking a cigar, sword in one hand and a gun holstered at the waist.
After that came some beginner-level spells from the Wizard class and other general-use starter skills.
Had Jiangnan University not sent over these foreign beginner skill , Yun Chen wouldn't have learned much about overseas class systems at all.
"Of course..."
"We can't give you beginner skill from classes like 'Vampire', 'Werewolf', or 'Demonkin'."
The Jiangnan University instructor clarified.
This wasn't because they were holding back, but rather... as the class names imply, they require specific racial bloodlines to be eligible.
Dongyun City was but a tiny corner of the world. A remote place. Exposure to such things was extremely limited.
If not for the internet, Yun Chen wouldn't have even known that non-human races existed out there.
It was plainly evident why—
Seventy years ago, when Earth players first entered the Divine Realm game, there were at least several billion participants. Not all of them chose to play as humans. Many selected Elves, Fairies, Orcs, Dwarves, Halflings, and other races.
As the game slowly merged with reality, so too did these bloodlines begin to manifest in the real world.
Moreover, the game's descent upon Earth wasn't limited to just classes and dungeons—even the grand map, NPC characters, major factions, and familiar "grinding spots" from the players' memories were all reproduced across the Earth.
That's why Earth's surface area expanded by over ten thousand times.
With the sudden arrival of various intelligent, non-human races, and with seventy years having passed, many intermarriages and alliances have since occurred.
Naturally, this has stirred up numerous societal issues.
At least in Dongyun City, there's still some resistance toward non-human races. And of them all, the Beastkin are the least welcome—largely due to the tragic "Ghost City Incident" twenty years ago.
"Dongyun is small…"
"But the world is vast…"
"When you arrive at Jiangnan University, your horizons will brn. These are things even the internet can't fully reveal."
The Jiangnan University instructor sighed deeply.
He couldn't help but grow nostalgic, reminiscing about the days twenty years ago when he himself had first arrived at Jiangnan University.
Those passionate days of chasing youth, grinding levels, and striving for strength...
And the awe and uncertainty that came with slowly uncovering the truth of the world...
All of it—long gone.
"It just so happens that Professor Li Yage and I have some business nearby."
"We'll personally escort you to Jiangnan University in half a month."
In peacetime, even a top provincial scorer in the college entrance exam wouldn't normally receive an escort from professors.
But...
Since they just so happened to be handling affairs nearby, it worked out to conveniently travel back to Jiangnan University together.
