Lin Yi awakened as an ordinary mage with the basic Fireball Technique, disappointing classmates, teachers, and media who expected more from the top student. Amid mockery and pity, his friend defended him while Jiang Ya felt unexpectedly downhearted. He returned home to his family's joyful celebration of his combat profession. Secretly thrilled by his ability to gain one skill point per second, Lin Yi spent the next seven days relaxing at home, plotting to upgrade Fireball to Forbidden Curse while others grinded for meager gains.

Thump, thump!

Such thoughts raced through his mind when abruptly, a knock sounded at the door.

Lin Yi rose to his feet and swung the door open.

There stood Zhang Shan, clutching a box of goods, right outside.

Spotting Lin Yi, Zhang Shan rushed inside, breathless, and set down the heavy box with a heavy thud.

"Ah Yi, you weren't at the grinding spot or the dungeon gate!"

"What's up with you?"

"Awakened a basic class, that's all!"

"No need to sulk this much, right?"

Zhang Shan wiped sweat from his brow as he spoke, popping open the box to reveal its contents.

"Leveling elixirs, plus red and blue potions—my dad got these for me. Blues are useless to me, so they're all yours."

"Split the reds with you too, half each."

"Oh, and three skill point scrolls in there—smash 'em for 3 points to spend however!"

"Oh yeah, your bro finally got a rare class: Knight of Light!"

"You've let me copy homework and cheat for three years straight, so how about I carry you through leveling?"

"I tank the mobs, you DPS—no healer needed, I got it covered! Experience split even, so quit brooding indoors!"

Gazing at Zhang Shan's gifts and hearing his pep talk, a surge of warmth filled Lin Yi's chest.

A real bro right here!

Zhang Shan's family wasn't loaded by any means.

His old man was just a run-of-the-mill combat pro.

Those 3 skill scrolls? Bet this dude halved his own stash for me.

What generosity!

Lin Yi snatched the scrolls from the box and shoved them back into Zhang Shan's grip, grinning, "Who said I was moping?"

"Keep those scrolls yourself—I don't need 'em!"

"Not dodging levels; just gearing up for something huge!"

It took Lin Yi over ten minutes of convincing the doubtful Zhang Shan to head out, but no sooner had he gone than another knock came.

Answering it, Lin Yi faced a delivery dude in uniform, box in hand, beaming, "Lin Yi's place?"

"Package for ya!"

Lin Yi: "Didn't order squat."

The man pressed on, "It's yours, sent by Jiang Ya."

Jiang Ya's icy, haughty visage flashed in Lin Yi's thoughts.

Unboxing it, Lin Yi found top-tier alchemy meds, elite mana and HP pots—and best of all, a stack of over ten EXP boost scrolls.

Hundreds of Xia coins per scroll, huh? True heiress vibes.

What Lin Yi didn't realize: Jiang Ya had wrestled with this choice for seven full days.

She'd nearly dashed over that first day, seeing Lin Yi slink from school all dejected.

But her ingrained poise and icy facade held her back.

She stayed away, yet still dispatched her care package.

Lin Yi happily claimed the bounty.

Three years of camaraderie outweighed any rivalry.

After waving off the courier, Lin Yi rummaged the box and uncovered a note beneath the vials and brews.

Whoever tucked it there clearly hid it on purpose.

Pulling it out, Lin Yi flipped it to reveal tidy petite script.

"Don't get too down; hit me up if you need anything."

One simple line.

Yet Lin Yi pictured Jiang Ya agonizing over drafts before settling on it.

With Zhang Shan and Jiang Ya's haul sorted, Lin Yi pulled up his status panel.

[Lin Yi]

Staring at over 600k skill points, Lin Yi drew a sharp breath.

The haul from seven days was insane!

No more delays!

Deep Blue, pump those points!

Lin Yi fired up the Fireball Technique interface and dumped points like mad!

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!

Upgrade chimes rang nonstop as Fireball Technique blazed with level-up glows!

Flames roared fiercer, streaking with golden radiance!

Blissful!

Utterly euphoric!

This skyrocketing skill surge was pure heaven!

Ten-plus minutes later.

Lin Yi's relentless point dumping had transformed his skill list.

That humble Fireball Technique, gorged on hundreds of thousands of points.

Now Tier Seven strong!

The room sweltered.

A blistering heat wave crashed over Lin Yi.

Like immersion in the world's fiercest golden inferno.

Yet the blaze spared him—no harm!

Instead, insane fire element rapport surged within!

One thought, and those savage forces would detonate, incinerating foes!

Lin Yi eyed the next evolution.

[Tier Eight - Fire Spirit Incarnation]

[Skill Points Needed: 500,000!]

Lin Yi gaped—the costs were skyrocketing.

No surprise top-tier Seventh and Eighth Transformation legends barely touched near-Forbidden Curse spells.

Amassing that fortune took eons.

But Lin Yi crushed a lifetime's mage journey in mere days!

Pausing briefly, Lin Yi eyed his other passives.

[Energy Saving Casting] and [Quick Chanting].

These came bundled with the starter Fireball Technique.

Basic perks: slash 10% off mana costs and chant durations.

Could points go into these too?
