Chapter 8

【Why did a forbidden word system suddenly appear? And it's forcing me to buy a name change card! This is fraud! — Call me Lord Naluo】

【Ding~ System notification: "Call me Lord Naluo" has been muted for a week. Please everyone abide by the forum rules, thank you!

Tip: Become a senior member of the forum to reduce the mute time!】

As the privileged one... no, as the "noble administrator" Guan Liyuan, he was about to test his skill, unaware that Naluo, who had been forced to buy a name change card, was muted again.

In front of Guan Liyuan's fingertips, a palm-sized magic array appeared out of nowhere. A white light shot out from the magic array, heading towards the big man's hand that was reaching out to him...

Instantly, a blood-red color bloomed from the big man's hand!

The keen-eyed already noticed that the "white light" was a crystal-clear, thumb-sized and thick, sharp-tipped needle!

It effortlessly pierced through the big man's hand and, amidst his screams, even nailed into his arm, sinking in more than halfway...

"Is this... a professional?"

"Is he an elemental user? What kind of elemental power is this?"

"Is this guy crazy? Attacking a professional on the street?"

"That's right, although the Alliance restricts professionals from harming civilians, if someone is asking for death..."

"Shh! Keep it down, that guy is from the Gong family!"

The people on the street couldn't help but start murmuring.

The chaos here immediately caught the attention of the city guards maintaining order.

However, because they were not far from the convoy of councilors and family heads, Zhongli Hao, Gong Lian, and others arrived first!

Seeing the big shots of the city present, the city guards only surrounded the area without getting too close.

"Good Gong Tian! How dare you attack a newly awakened professional on the street! Speak! Who ordered you? Have you been turned by the Abyssal creatures?" Zhongli Hao thundered.

"Pro... professional? He... how could... I... I... Family Head, I don't know... I don't know..." Gong Tian's words were incoherent.

Even after kneeling, his eyes were still blank, seemingly not yet comprehending why the little beggar he had randomly kidnapped from the street four months ago, who had never been to school, had turned into a professional.

His instinctive plea for help was not to Zhongli Hao, but to Gong Lian, the head of the Gong family!

"Grasshopper Tian, I've heard before that you've been committing crimes under the name of the Gong family, but there was no evidence... This time, you have nothing to say, right? What are the city guards waiting for? Arrest these audacious fellows!" Gong Lian turned ruthless and began to call him by his old name.

"Wait! It's not like that! I... I just wanted to catch a little beggar... He... He hit Young Master Gong Wen, he's the criminal... Listen to me!"

Slap!

The city guard captain casually slapped him, and coldly said to Gong Tian, whose cheek was slowly swelling, "What nonsense! I didn't understand a word, but if you speak again before I allow it... Hmph!"

The city guard captain clearly saw the expressions of the people in front of him. Zhongli Hao aside, Gong Lian, Gong Tian's backer, was looking at him coldly, and Gong Wen, who was behind Gong Lian, was even more resentful...

Who could blame Gong Tian for bringing up the sore spot? Was he afraid that others didn't know that Gong Wen had been beaten by Guan Liyuan?

So the city guard captain had no qualms about slapping him...

Gong Tian's few henchmen naturally couldn't escape either. Even with a hole in his hand, he didn't receive any special treatment for the injured and was taken away by the city guards.

Seeing this, the big shots showed no reaction, as if they didn't want to see or be bothered. Even Guan Liyuan, at this moment, didn't have any special reaction of "revenge," but was still in a daze, savoring the feeling of triggering his skill for the first time!

As for the few dogs of the Gong family being arrested, it didn't excite Guan Liyuan too much!

What happened to Gong Tian in the end didn't need to be followed up. The Gong family didn't want to deal with him, and the Zhongli family wanted to use him to smear the Gong family, so they dug up all his past misdeeds...

The Gong family expressed deep regret over the emergence of such a rogue in their ranks and vowed to take decisive action...

"So this is the 'skill' of a professional... It's amazing, just by instinctively activating the corresponding rune in my mind, I can create such an effect!"

Even after arriving at the Zhongli family's mansion with Zhongli Qiu and Wei Yingying, Guan Liyuan was still marveling at the power of the skill.

Zhongli Qiu couldn't help but sneer at Guan Liyuan's "country bumpkin" behavior: "Instinctively activate the rune? Liyuan, I'm not trying to discourage you... but with your skill release speed, the other party could probably just use a stick to interrupt your skill!"

"Cough, cough, it's my first time, right!" Guan Liyuan said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Moreover, according to what you said, after activating the rune, the corresponding rune dispersed for a full minute, right?"

"That's right, isn't that normal?" Guan Liyuan was initially startled, as his knowledge in this area was even less than that of an ordinary person.

After all, the last four months of classes were all about the final preparations for "opening the spirit," discussing things that Guan Liyuan couldn't understand... just like how a college entrance exam candidate wouldn't review the multiplication table before the exam!

"You really know nothing! To say it's normal, it is indeed normal. After each skill activation, the skill rune is impacted or enters a cooldown period, and can only be used again after recondensing...

However, even for a newly awakened professional, the cooldown for a simple entry-level skill shouldn't be as long as a minute!"

"Is there something wrong with my awakening?" Guan Liyuan asked, somewhat nervously.

"No, you're just too weak... The cooldown time varies from person to person. Truly powerful professionals can almost trigger skills continuously!" Zhongli Qiu didn't hesitate to打击Guan Liyuan.

Hearing this, Guan Liyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief...

"Huh? Why do you look so relieved?" Zhongli Qiu asked, puzzled.

"Since it's just because I'm too weak, then I can just get stronger, right? After all, I haven't received much training or simulation training... Maybe I have great potential!"

"You're really an optimist..."

Indeed, Guan Liyuan had nothing to be depressed about. The "professionals" in this world were convenient to the point of making him pleasantly surprised!

The reason Guan Liyuan immediately gained extraordinary abilities after awakening was not because he was exceptionally talented, but because all professionals in this world were like this...

After awakening, a professional's consciousness naturally gains a corresponding "professional rune" or "root rune."

In addition, there are three "entry-level skill runes" derived from the root "professional rune"!

After a professional advances from "entry-level" to "low-level," the three "entry-level skill runes" will transform into "low-level skill runes"...

The "entry-level skill runes" for the same profession are the same, but the "low-level skills" they transform into depend on the professional's understanding, proficiency, and development direction, leading to differences!

Advancing to mid-level and high-level will further derive new skills based on the three low-level systems. Even professionals of the same profession will become increasingly different as they advance...
