Furan was pulled directly into the Trial Settlement Space the moment the Dragon died, leaving her no extra time to react.
She looked at the pitch-black Trial Space before her and the constantly flickering text in mid-air, feeling somewhat lost.
The good news was that she must have passed the trial. After all, she had directly killed a Second-Tier Dragon, which was undoubtedly a huge contribution to saving Monsa.
But the constantly flickering text before her looked suspiciously like the garbled code she had encountered in her previous life.
Now she was worried that the trial reward might be lost due to a glitch.
After half a minute, the text in the air finally stabilized, forming words Furan could understand, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
She looked up at the text.
[Congratulations on passing this Spirit World Trial and achieving promotion...]
The rest was garbled code again. Furan guessed that since she was already a First-Order Mage, the Spirit Realm system had glitched.
She decided not to look and simply recited the command for her Panel.
[Name: Furan
Class: Mage (One Star) (Forge, Sword Chant, Modification, Elemental, Spirit Realm), Radiant Priest (One Star)... (Omitted)]
Attributes: constitution 4.1, Spirit 14.7
... (Omitted)]
The words Spirit World Mage also appeared in her Class column, which met her expectations and gave her a small insight.
In fact, the concept of classes existed on the continent as well; the method used for promotion determined the class. These classes had many hidden requirements besides the obvious ones.
For example, her Spirit World Mage class supposedly allowed promotion upon passing the trial, but it actually required you to be at the Apprentice Rank. If you were First-Tier, you naturally couldn't be promoted.
It seemed that her Panel had a higher priority. Even if the Spirit Realm requirements weren't met, as long as the Panel's requirements were met, that was enough. All those hidden requirements had to step aside.
Furthermore, the Spirit World Mage class actually added a small amount to her constitution, though the increase in Spirit was becoming smaller and smaller.
Also, after being promoted to Spirit World Mage, she didn't receive any Spells or traits, so she continued to look at the text appearing in the air.
The garbled code following the text had accumulated into a long string, and it was still increasing.
Finally, after reaching a certain length, all the text vanished, replaced by constantly appearing images composed of different colors in mid-air.
These images were meaningless, seemingly just random scribbles of various colors.
Furan knew that the Spirit Realm program might have glitched again. Logically, this should be the time for her to receive a Talent, but only these flickering images were present.
She remembered that the Lord of Radiance had once promised to help her connect with the Spirit Realm to guarantee a Talent. She didn't know if this was true or false, or if she was meant to receive the Talent anyway, and the Lord of Radiance was just dangling a carrot.
After another half minute of change, the images finally stopped, replaced by a golden orb floating in the air.
The moment the orb appeared, a realization dawned in Furan's heart: this object was extremely important, and she absolutely had to obtain it.
Furan walked forward, slowly approaching the golden orb with her right hand.
The instant she touched the orb, a string of text abruptly appeared before her eyes, introducing the Talent.
[Talent: Dragon Bone Carving
Description: You killed a powerful Dragon during the trial. This Dragon was far beyond your current ability to defeat, yet you succeeded.
But why did you challenge an enemy far stronger than yourself? I believe it must be because it was a Dragon.
You crave the Dragon's wings, hating why you cannot soar in the sky like this;
You covet the powerful Dragon Flame, believing the iron sword in your hand cannot compare;
You wish to be protected by Dragon Scales, granting you defensive power far exceeding the ordinary;
But do not worry, the Spirit Realm has granted you what you desired.
Effect: You can plunder the Dragon creatures you kill, gaining their abilities from their skeletons. The plundered abilities will not manifest on your body; the corresponding features will only appear when you need them.]
Furan rubbed her chin. Upon receiving this Talent, she immediately had a feeling—a feeling that she could choose.
This feeling originated from the Dragon she had killed—Quentin.
She hadn't expected that the Dragon she killed before acquiring the Talent would also count, which made her look upon the Spirit Realm with higher regard.
However, there were more details that the Talent description failed to mention, such as the fact that although she could gain abilities from many Dragons, she could only obtain one ability per corpse.
For instance, Furan could now choose Skills like Dragon Flame, Dragon Scales, or Dragon Claws from Quentin.
After careful consideration, Furan chose Dragon Flame.
After she made her choice, the feeling of being able to choose vanished completely, as if it had never been in her mind.
External Dragon features like Dragon Scales and Dragon Claws were unnecessary for her. She already had the Sword Dance from the Sword Chant School for close combat, so there was no need to use these things to enhance her melee capabilities.
Moreover, the first Spell she obtained from the Spirit Realm, [Hard Scale Rock], was already approaching extraordinary-level Proficiency due to her daily efforts in casting it. She figured that once it reached the extraordinary level, it would grant her a First-Tier defensive Spell, so she didn't care for Dragon Scales.
Although Quentin's various Skills had overpowered stats when used, she might not have the same stats as Quentin after obtaining them.
Nothing happened after she made her choice. She recited the command for her Panel, and besides seeing the Dragon Bone Carving Talent in the trait column, she also saw a new trait.
[Dragon Flame Fire: You can briefly transform your head into a Dragon Head and spray fire. The summoned fire element can possess the characteristics of Dragon Flame, enhancing destructive power and burning capability.]
Furan raised an eyebrow, thinking that she hadn't guessed wrong. This choice also strengthened her fire Spells, making the fireballs she cast equivalent to Dragon Flame.
Furan glanced around, confirming nothing was left behind. Ignoring the book vibrating in her hand, she recited the Incantation and returned to the Material Realm.
---
Furan's consciousness sank and she awoke in her own body. She felt slightly unaccustomed to it immediately, as her body in the Material Realm was shorter, and even sitting on the bed, she clearly felt her field of vision was lower.
She first checked the Magic Traps she had set up; there were no signs of them being triggered.
Then, when she tried to get up, she suddenly noticed a book resting on her stomach.
It was similar to the one the Lord of Radiance had forced upon her, except this book now looked exactly as it had when she first received it.
The book seemed more tattered than when she first acquired it, and there was a line of golden text on its cover.
[Please tell them my name in the Material Realm.]
