Chapter 32: Abyss Physician

After an unknown amount of time, when Lin Yi opened his eyes again, he had returned to his personal room.

【Reward period ended. Exclusive Room activated.】

A prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise suddenly lit up on one wall of the exclusive room, and immediately after, a door appeared out of thin air beside it. This was the Door of Departure that Lin Yi had long anticipated.

However, Lin Yi could not care about this at the moment; he lay prone on the floor, gasping for breath incessantly.

Inside his body, high concentrations of Abyss Power were surging uncontrollably, like violent dragons and serpents weaving through his meridians and flesh.

【Abnormal life signs detected in Hunter. Preparing to activate Recovery Function. This function will consume the Hunter's held Paradise Coins. Activate? Yes/No】

As Lin Yi struggled in agony, gritting his teeth, the prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise rang in his ears like heavenly music.

"Activate," Lin Yi squeezed the two words out through clenched teeth.

His entire body had turned crimson from the pain, and every muscle cell was twitching violently, as if telling the outside world of the suffering he endured.

Following Lin Yi's command, a streak of emerald light immediately enveloped him tightly.

The light was warm and gentle, brushing softly over Lin Yi's body and bringing him a sliver of solace.

Simultaneously, Lin Yi's Paradise Coins began to decrease at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In just five short seconds, the Recovery Function consumed over a thousand Paradise Coins.

However, for Lin Yi at this moment, it was all worth it.

Because he could clearly feel that the Abyss Power, which had been roaming wildly within his body, was gradually dissipating under the radiance of the emerald light.

Ten seconds later, when the last trace of Abyss Power vanished from Lin Yi's body, the Recovery Function shut down.

Lin Yi felt as though he had undergone a rebirth; he lay on the floor, exhausted but satisfied.

"This is...?"

After undergoing the transformation of the Abyss Power, Lin Yi clenched his fists, feeling as though he had become somewhat stronger.

Contractor No. 18018. (To protect the Hunter, this is a false ID; no means can lock onto the Hunter.)

Name: Lin Yi (Hunter)

Level: LV.2

HP: 100%

Abyss Power: 103

Strength: 16

Agility: 15

Stamina: 18

Intelligence: 10

Charisma: 5 (Related to social, summoning, etc.)

Luck: 1 (Related to item opening, crafting, etc. This attribute is extremely difficult to increase; Hunter, please cherish your opportunities to improve it.)

Note: The standard attribute for an adult male is 5 points, and Luck is 1 point.

Growth Talent: Redeemer. For every target healed, the user can absorb 1-10 HP and 1-5 MP (currently Abyss Power) from the target's body.

This talent can extract a maximum of 200 HP and 100 Abyss Power per world.

Lin Yi was shocked by the sudden, massive increase in his attributes; he hadn't expected his strength to make such a leap.

For a moment, Lin Yi felt as if he were in a dream, incredulously feeling the vast power within his body.

Just as he was about to close his personal information to stretch and test his newly acquired strength, he suddenly noticed the skill options flashing continuously, as if something was about to burst forth.

With a thought, Lin Yi immediately opened his skill panel.

The previously blank skill panel had undergone a world-shaking transformation.

【Due to the Hunter obtaining the Unique Profession [Abyss Physician], the skill list has changed accordingly.】

Abyss Physician (Unique)

Skill 1.

Abyss Erosion: LV.1 (Active Skill)

Usage Condition: When the Hunter activates Abyss Erosion, 1 point of Abyss Power will be consumed per minute. When Abyss Power falls below 1%, Abyss Erosion will automatically deactivate.

Skill Effect: Upon activation, every melee attack by the Hunter will deal True Damage equal to 10% of their current HP. This damage ignores enemy defense and resistance. The intrusion of Abyss Power will inflict a series of random negative effects on the enemy, which may include but are not limited to: slowed movement, decreased attack power, weakened defense, etc.

...

Skill 2.

Swordsmanship Mastery: LV.1 (Passive)

Skill Effect: Increases melee attack power by 10% and increases proficiency with sword-type weapons.

...

Skill 3.

Destined Limit: LV.MAX (Passive)

Skill Effect: Once the target being healed restores their HP to 100%, the healing-type "Destined Limit" ability will automatically activate, causing a brief rejection of healing energy in the target to prevent the malignant overgrowth of primordial vitality caused by excessive healing.

...

Skill 4.

Basic Heal: LV.1

Skill Effect: Consumes 5 Abyss Power to heal the target's injuries, restoring (Intelligence + Stamina) * 5 HP.

...

Skill 5.

Abyss Body: LV.MAX

Skill Effect: This is a passive skill that reduces all incoming damage by 20%.

Tip: This passive ability has extremely high priority and can immunize True Damage, Holy Damage, and Execute-type damage.

"From the abyss, and to the abyss we shall return. Aside from the abyss, no one can kill us — Hill."

...

Skill 6.

Purify: LV.1

Skill Effect: This skill can remove abnormal status effects from the body, whether it be poisoning, stunning, slowing, or any other form of negative effect. This skill has extremely high priority.

...

Skill 7.

Blade of Redemption: LV.MAX

Skill Effect: This skill allows the holder to bind an initial weapon, the maximum grade of which is White. By healing patients and killing enemies, the holder can obtain the Essence of Life and the Essence of Death, respectively. When these two powers reach a certain peak, the initial weapon will undergo promotion, leaping from its original White quality to Green quality.

The initial weapon is bound to the Blade of Redemption skill and cannot be changed. Even if the initial weapon is broken in battle, the holder can use the Blade of Redemption skill to restore it, but this requires consuming 5 Soul Crystals (Small).

Upon binding the Blade of Redemption, all additional attributes of the initial weapon will be cleared, and the Blade of Redemption skill will grant the initial weapon new additional attributes.

Skill Description: It represents the cycle of life and death, and symbolizes the holder's reverence for life and challenge to death.

...

Skill 8.

Locked. Unlocking requires Soul Crystal (Small) and 1000 Paradise Coins.

...

A series of skill information unfolded before Lin Yi's eyes, causing his eyes to widen.

"Is this... a Hidden Profession?"

What puzzled Lin Yi was that the skills of the profession before him seemed to be only a partial inheritance.

Looking at the description of the Blade of Redemption, Lin Yi suddenly thought of the long-dormant Black Abyss Sword in his backpack.

Fortunately, he hadn't discarded it in previous battles; it seemed this sword finally had its moment to shine.

However, Lin Yi did not intend to bind the Black Abyss Sword right now.

He hoped to find a blacksmith to remodel the two weapons in his hands.

As a physician, how could he go without a healing staff?

He could use [Sherlock's Staff-Sword] as the base material for remodeling to forge a weapon that perfectly suited him.
