I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 1: One Skill Point Per Second? This Cheat Is Way Too OP!
In a parallel realm known as Blue Star.
The sports field at Jiangcheng Second High School buzzed with activity right now.
Today marks the occasion for the graduating seniors of Second High to awaken their professions.
It's likewise the grand oath assembly ahead of the nationwide professional college entrance exam!
Students clad in Second High uniforms filled the seats organized by class, while a horde of reporters and media personnel lingered at the rear, cameras at the ready to seize this pivotal event.
"Class 8 of Senior Year, all soldiers!"
"Stand up!"
"Swear with me—"
The energetic youth leading the formation leaped to his feet, grabbed the mic, and bellowed with a raspy voice.
"From today, I will become a member of Xia’s professionals!"
"I will work hard and strive to level up!"
…
"The revival of the human race, I have a part in it...ugh!"
Maybe from pushing too hard, he ended up dry-heaving by the close of the oath sequence.
Clap clap clap clap!
The school authorities up on the platform started the applause first.
Reporters and media folks joined in with cheers and claps!
This fiery passion is precisely what they crave!
Amid the lines of Class 8 of Senior Year.
A strikingly handsome lad barely suppressed a burst of laughter.
He goes by Lin Yi, having crossed into this realm eighteen years ago.
This realm stems from a fusion with endless games, rendering the global map over tenfold vaster than the Earth from Lin Yi's prior existence.
Furthermore, humanity here doesn't reign supreme on Blue Star's food chain.
In vast uncharted territories, hordes of mysterious, horrifying monsters and beasts lurk, perpetually endangering human society's fragile spark.
Under these dire circumstances, folks relentlessly hone themselves, fueled like they've got endless adrenaline surging.
Endless battle prep and even more readiness.
Thankfully, humanity enjoys Blue Star’s Celestial Dao's favor.
Upon reaching 18, each individual gets one shot at awakening a skill.
A combat skill spells success in shifting to a frontline battle class.
Afterward, they spearhead the charge against monsters and beasts.
Their standing and prestige far surpass those gaining support or lifestyle skills.
"You can still laugh, I’m about to die from anxiety!"
The burly, towering boy beside Lin Yi elbowed him in the back, drenched in sweat.
"What are you anxious about, it’s just awakening a profession?" Lin Yi stayed utterly nonchalant and steady.
This giant was Zhang Shan, Lin Yi’s buddy; likely burdened by sky-high parental hopes.
For all his bulk, Zhang Shan couldn't match Lin Yi's poise right then.
"You have been the top of the grade for three years, of course you’re not nervous!"
"Damn, I just want to be a Warrior, inherit my dad’s legacy, he even saved a full set of equipment and Skill Book, and even hoarded 5 skill point Scrolls for me to use!"
"Time to splurge, old man!"
Lin Yi chuckled inwardly, what a devoted offspring.
With the oath event wrapped up, Jiangcheng Second High's profession awakening rite kicked off properly.
The process stayed straightforward: called by name, head to the stage, lay a hand on the hovering light-blue Spirit Crystal smack in the stage's heart to claim your initial skill.
At once, matching professional attributes activate from the skill secured.
"Zhao Kuan, acquired skill: Fishing, life profession: Fisherman!"
"Cai Kun, acquired skill: Singing, life profession: Idol!"
"Jiang Chengliang, acquired skill: Forging, life profession: Blacksmith!"
…
As students kept mounting the stage one by one for their awakenings.
The announcers recited chilly skills and classes, leaving many in the audience, Zhang Shan included, increasingly on edge.
Truth be told, Jiangcheng Second High's faculty felt frustrated too.
They murmured to each other.
Why does this year's crop show such weak talent?
Over a dozen minutes ticked by without one combat skill emerging!
"Jiang Ya, come up to awaken your profession!"
The next name rang out from the announcer, drawing every gaze from Class 8 of Senior Year to the formation's front, where a poised, aloof girl stood.
"Good luck Jiang Ya!" Right at Class 8's forefront, class president Hu Kai—the same one who'd roared till his voice broke—flashed what he thought was a suave grin and cheered her on.
Unbeknownst to him, his bootlicking fell flat.
For Jiang Ya spared him not a single look just then.
Her gaze lifted instead toward a certain youth lingering at the line's rear.
Lin Yi caught Jiang Ya’s faintly challenging stare and sighed inwardly.
Was it really just from placing second to him non-stop these three years? Did she have to hold that grudge and poke at him even now, at the awakening?
As Class 8's belle and Jiangcheng Second High's top looker, Jiang Ya’s glance packed a punch.
In a flash, attention swung back to Lin Yi.
After all, grade's top two—the rivalry hung thick.
What classes would these pair unlock? Endless buzz and guesses swirled around it.
After locking eyes deeply with Lin Yi, Jiang Ya marched up and pressed her palm to the blue Spirit Crystal.
The very next instant, the blue Spirit Crystal quivered repeatedly, unleashing a potent surge of magic.
Then, the whole arena exploded into spectacle!
Sand, rocks, and rubble scorned gravity, lifting skyward.
They traced eerie paths, whirling without cease.
The veteran principal onstage lit up with excitement.
Before the awakening caller could utter a word, he beat him to it with the verdict.
"Jiang Ya, awakened skill: Telekinesis! Combat profession: Psychic Master!"
Wow——
The masses erupted!
Click click click!
Eager shutterbugs at the back hammered their cameras to snag this landmark scene!
A Psychic Master, hailing from rare-tier classes!
This lets control of items hurl at foes via telekinesis, plus unleashing mental might to shatter enemy psyches utterly.
This icy school stunner, verifying her rare class win, cracked the tiniest smile.
"Lin Yi, come up to awaken your profession!"
Post Jiang Ya’s dazzling display.
Gazes locked onto Lin Yi once more.
If grade second snagged a rare class.
Then grade first must claim legendary tier, right?
Epic tier? Too bold to dream.
Tension piled on Lin Yi.
Zhang Shan quivered like a leaf, overwhelmed.
Yet for his closest pal tackling life's grandest trial, he mustered support.
"Go for it, Ah Yi, you can do it, awaken an epic-level profession!"
Lin Yi advanced to the stage.
Denying nerves? No chance.
With countless stares fixed in hype and hope.
Even a two-life veteran with a tranquil soul like Lin Yi sensed the prickling tension.
He extended a hand to the blue Spirit Crystal.
A chill flowed through him.
Next instant, a subtle magic ripple pulsed from the Spirit Crystal.
The aged principal nearby arched a brow, hopeful.
But shockingly, that ripple, fresh from birth, refused to swell further.
That marked its peak.
At last, masking letdown, he declared grudgingly: "Lin Yi, awakened skill: Fireball Technique, combat profession: Mage."
Mage.
The plainest Mage imaginable!
Combat class yes, but after Jiang Ya’s show and Lin Yi’s endless prior glory.
This outcome crushed hopes for most!
Click click click!
Shutter frenzy raged on.
Lin Yi froze onstage.
Not from dismay at his skill or class.
Rather, another voice echoed in his head simultaneously.
[Congratulations, you have awakened an SSS-level talent: Blessing of All Gods!]
[Effect: You gain 1 skill point per second.]
[Note: As your experience and strength increase, more functions of this talent will be gradually unlocked, please look forward to it!]
