013. Profession Showcase

  Immediately after, the demo PV began introdug the profession system in 《Star Abyss》. The developers were well aware of the high difficulty level of the game, so they specifically highlighted the representative characters of each profession to give pyers a quiderstanding of horofession performs on Azure Star and their bat potential.

  Basically, every NPC representing a profession here is the stro in that field on Azure Star, essentially the 'css mentors' as traditionally known by pyers.

  The s gradually darkened.

  Li Aozi thought: If there are no surprises, the first to appear should be the Destru css.

  Winter—Ding—

  The sound of a guzheng filled with Zen resonated, apanied by a gentle flute, soothing the audiend making them feel as if they were in a bamboo forest, refreshing and tranquil.

  Just as the audience was immersed in the healing music, a male voice filled with killing i suddenly spoke:

  "In aimes, people practiced martial arts to maintain their health; today, people practice martial arts to kill the enemy."

  Boom!

  In the moment, the s was shattered by a punch. The force, as mighty as a dragon, stirred up an endless, overwhelming momentum, with the echoes lingering in the air.

  The one who struck was dressed in pin martial arts attire, his demeanor reserved. He slowly raised his hand from the burning tank, his powerful muscles slightly bulging, instantly unleashing a fierce protective aura that calmly blocked ining bullets and on fire. He then slowly raised his fist, eling a fierd vigorous energy, with each move releasing a trated wave of energy that stretched tens of meters, effortlessly tearing and burning through the alloy.

  【Martial Artist】, Dragon Style advanced profession—【Qi Master】.

  The text beside the s introduced this Beta-tier martial artist as Yan Qixiong, a martial arts master from Tianhuan, and the top batant among the Dragon Style advanced 【Qi Masters】 on Azure Star.

  【Qi Master】 be sidered a physical mage with immerength and a powerful physique. They specialize in qi energy, making them nearly impossible to kite, but their downside is that they ot undergo body modifications or wear armor, as these would hiheir performance.

  Li Aozi had a deep impression of him; this old brother was close to Gamma-tier in his previous life and only died after taking a direct hit from a small tactiuclear bomb.

  was the mentor of the e Style, a middle-aged man with a ponytail.

  Li Anized him: Chu Zhengn. He was also a 【Martial Artist】 from Tianhuan, dressed in a loose ronin robe, with only basic exoskeleton armor and no signs of modification. Handsome, with a stubbled beard—many had already noticed that he was the ronin warrior who disassembled a mech with his bare hands in the previous Tianhuan introdu video.

  The e Style advanced profession on Azure Star is 【Samurai】, but it only be learned and transferred to in Tianhuan. Samurai only use bded ons but wear equipment such as super Kevr and nano-fiber posite armor.

  Then came the mentor of the 【Assassin】, ae agent from Frost-Pted Law IV meism—Gekarin Telshi, who advanced into the 【Annihitor】 profession. Simply put, she's a fierce assassin who brazenly walks up to you and takes you down, mastering firearms, close bat, and rapid mobility. A major feature is her extremely high burst speed, able to reach 3.5 times the speed of sound on nd in an instant, making her faster than missiles.

  Of course, the downside is that she's incredibly fragile, uo wear any armor, even more fragile than Li Aozi.

  was the final branch of the Destru css: 【Ranger】, and its mentor was iingly the security sultant of Zhengxu's Heibolong Arsenal, Jose Rediaz, a dark-skinned man who carried nine different guns and ons. His bat demonstration wasn't in actual bat but a simple shooting session at a range, where he alternated shots and in 12 seds shaved off a third of a 200-meter-tall hill.

  The promotion path fer】 is very straightforward, currently with only one advanced profession, 【Firepower Envoy】.

  In simple terms, it allows their ons to imbue qi energy, making bullets with deyed explosions, tinuous burning, blunt force trauma, pierg armor, and other effects—simple, brutal, and effectively magical.

  The popurity of the 【Destru】 css was the highest, with the thrilliru effects directly striking the XP of maale pyers. The old-suscle-bound 【Martial Artist】 with their vigorous and overbearing demeanor particurly attracted straight male attention, leaving them thrilled.

  "Sorry, Hell is full."

  After the dazzling explosion, the se quickly shifted to the eerie and mysterious 【Eerie】 specialization.

  The mentor for 【Medium】 was a mature beauty with lingering charm, dressed like a fortuelling witch. Her fluffy bck curls added to her allure, with a seductive figure. Her name was unknown, only that she beloo the external anization Trash Old.

  As an advanced profession 【Soul juror】, she could lightly verse with ghosts, easily summon spirit demons that cause erouble for non-【Eerie】 pyers, ceal her presence using psychological teiques, and even manipute others' minds, turning enemies against each other, extrag the souls of the dead, and transf them into spirit creatures under her and.

  The mentor for 【Shaman】 surprised Li Aozi; different from his impression, this one was named Kruz Wofray, from the Metro Brotherhood, a huge man with bulging muscles like a mountain. His advanced profession wasn't the on 【Druid】 but 【Sorcerer】.

  【Sorcerer】 be uood as a melee mage or a spell tank. Uhe 【Druid】's all-round but not specialized abilities, the 【Sorcerer】 sacrifices healing capabilities for tremendous destructive power and defehey request part of nature's power, summoning lightning and storms.

  Li Aozi had no memory of Kruz, but the official rating gave him a strength level as high as Gamma-tier—Li Aozi suspected he might have entered some leftover knowledge from the old era, no, probably knowledge from beyond this world.

  Because the 【Sorcerer】 couldn't possibly be a professiinating from Azure Star.

  "It seems necessary to visit the Metro Brotherhood and make some tacts," Li Aozi thought.

  Kruz raised his arm, struck a drum, and soon the sky poured down torrential rain. In the cold outer world, ohe rainwater hit the ground, it instantly froze, causing even more terrifying sedary freezing damage.

  The stage was then handed over to the 【Craft】 specialization—unfortunately, the only two routes avaible on Azure Star for the 【Craft】 specialization were 【Biochemist】 and 【Meist】, and the debate between 'gene assion' and 'meical assion' pyed out in the ents.

  The representative of the 【Meist】... unsurprisingly was Du Zexin, Du Unlucky.

  "Armor on!"

  Du Zexin roared, and his body was covered by the [Blessed Wish] meical armniting the enthusiasm iire live broadcast room.

  "Damn it! A real man should pilot a mech!"

  "I want to be a Meist! No one stop me! Kamen Rider, transform!"

  "Ore wa Gundam!"

  "Nice," Li Aozi thought, "but unfortunately Du Unlucky's professio advahis set of armor didn't st long before being smashed by a biochemical colossus."

  As for the 【Biochemist】 mentor, it was Kelly Shalegon, a baroness from the Red Arrow Empire.

  A ge of personnel, which is normal.

  After all, in the previous life, the 【Biochemist】 mentor ioneer,' amed N4, with no known real name.

  However, she had an iing identity: the actual troller of the Abyss Heavy Industries Group, in a sense, all the professor's abilities were taught by her.

  "Did I kill the professor and scare 'Pioneer' enough that they didn't dare show their face?" Li Aozi rubbed his .

  The 【Craft】 specialization people are really sharp; even though Li Aozi didn't want to waste attribute points, he couldn't help but want to i in 【Intelligence】.

  To put it bluntly, if the professor had known some martial arts and bat instincts, they could have easily crushed him and Du Unlucky. The 【Biochemist】's dominan the early stages was to, bining tankiness, healing, intelligence, informational advantage, group damage output, and burst potential. In the hands of pyers, it might not be obvious, but in the hands of NPCs, the 【Intelligence】 bonus was extremely terrifying.

  Baroness Kelly's performance was det; the Red Arrow Empire's style is practical, with basic aesthetics. The biochemical beasts were simir to feline creatures, suitable for ambush and assassination roles—her cute nor eye-catg. pared to Du Zexin's powerful and stylish meical armor as a 【Meist】, it cked a bit of fir.

  "Is it my tur?" Li Aozi eagerly thought.

  The video, apanied by the galloping of biochemical beasts across the mountains, gradually moved towards the other side of the battlefield.
