Worldwide Class Change: Minimal Effort, Maximum Reward!

By the time Lin Yi returned to Jianghe Hunter Academy, the sky had already darkened.

Night lights illuminated the campus grounds, and the academy had grown unusually quiet compared to the usual noisy evenings. Most students had already returned to their dormitories to rest.

Tomorrow was the elimination round.

Even the most reckless students understood that proper rest before a major battle was essential.

Lin Yi walked calmly through the dormitory corridor and opened the door to his room.

Inside, Wang Hao was already lying on his bed staring at the ceiling.

The moment he heard the door open, Wang Hao turned his head.

"Brother Lin, you’re finally back."

Lin Yi placed his purchases on the desk. "You didn’t go out tonight?"

Wang Hao shook his head dramatically. "Tomorrow is the elimination round. I’m saving my strength." Then his eyes immediately locked onto the two old-looking books in Lin Yi’s hand. "Wait... are those skill books?"

Lin Yi nodded. "Just some basic ones."

Wang Hao nearly fell off his bed. "Basic ones?! Brother Lin, you bought skill books the night before the tournament?!"

Lin Yi didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he calmly sat at the desk and placed the books down. He picked up the first one, the cover worn and slightly faded:

Minor Flash Step Technique, a beginner-level movement skill.

Lin Yi opened the book slowly. The moment his eyes scanned the first page, the system responded immediately, and a translucent panel appeared before him.

[Skill Book Detected]

Minor Flash Step Technique

A beginner movement technique that channels spiritual energy into the legs, allowing the user to perform short bursts of high-speed movement. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Then another system prompt appeared.

[Do you wish to learn this skill book?]

[Yes / No]

Lin Yi selected Yes without hesitation.

The moment he confirmed the choice, a flood of knowledge flowed directly into his mind like streams of information.

Moments later—

Another notification appeared.

[Skill Learned]

[Skill Reward: Flash Step]

[Description: A short-range burst movement skill that greatly increases speed for an instant, allowing rapid repositioning during combat.]

[Spiritual Energy Consumption: Moderate]

[Cooldown: 5 seconds]

Lin Yi’s expression remained calm.

But he knew something was coming.

And right on cue—

The familiar system alert appeared.

[Reward Amplification Triggered]

[1000X Amplification]

[Skill Evolution In Progress...]

Lin Yi’s breath hitched slightly as new information flooded his mind. What was originally a simple technique for a quick burst of speed had been transformed into something that touched the laws of space itself. Beside him, Wang Hao was still rambling about how most people took months to master a basic skill, completely unaware that Lin Yi had just acquired a movement technique that could leave even S-Rank hunters in the dust.

Then,

[New Skill Reward!]

[Phantom Void Step]

[Description: A high-speed spatial movement technique that allows the user to instantly traverse short distances while leaving behind afterimages. The movement momentarily bends surrounding space, making the user extremely difficult to track.]

[Effects:

• Instant movement up to 10 meters

• Creates multiple phantom afterimages

• Movement speed greatly increased for 2 seconds after activation]

[Spiritual Energy Consumption: Low]

[Cooldown: 1 second]

Lin Yi’s eyes flickered slightly.

Even he hadn’t expected such a drastic upgrade.

The original skill was simply a beginner dash.

Now it had evolved into something approaching spatial movement.

One-second cooldown.

Ten meters per step.

In close combat, this was nearly broken.

He then turned his attention to the second book. This one was even more tattered, its title barely legible on the spine:

Basic Spirit Recovery Meditation.

It was perhaps the most common skill in the hunter world, a fundamental technique that was taught in the early stage.

It allowed a hunter to slowly recover spiritual energy by circulating internal energy through the body.

Lin Yi opened the book.

The system reacted instantly again.

[Skill Book Detected]

Basic Spirit Recovery Meditation

A basic recovery technique that slowly restores spiritual energy when the user is calm or stationary.

Then, the prompt appeared.

[Do you wish to learn this skill book?]

[Yes / No]

Lin Yi selected Yes.

The knowledge from the book flowed into his mind once again.

Moments later, the system confirmed the acquisition.

[Skill Learned]

[Skill Reward: Spirit Recovery Meditation]

[Description: A basic breathing technique that restores a small amount of spiritual energy over time.]

[Recovery Rate: Low]

[Activation Condition: Calm breathing]

And once again—

The amplification activated.

[Reward Amplification Triggered]

[1000X Amplification]

[Skill Evolution In Progress...]

The system hummed softly as the skill transformed.

Several seconds later—

A new notification appeared.

[New Skill Reward]

[Eternal Spirit Core]

[Description: The user forms a self-sustaining spiritual circulation core within the body. Spiritual energy regenerates continuously during all states of activity, including movement and combat.]

[Effects:

• Constant spiritual energy regeneration

• Recovery rate increases during battle

• Spirit reserves gradually expand over time]

[Activation Condition: Passive]

[Cooldown: None]

Lin Yi’s fingers paused slightly.

A passive regeneration skill.

But not just regeneration.

Continuous regeneration during combat.

That meant his energy would constantly recover even while fighting.

Combined with Phantom Void Step...

His combat mobility would become extremely difficult to counter.

Across the room, Wang Hao was staring at him suspiciously again.

""Brother Lin?" Wang Hao asked, noticing the silence. "You okay? You look like you’re staring into space."

"I’m fine," Lin Yi said, leaning back and exhaling. "I just think I’ve learned enough for tonight."

Wang Hao laughed, leaning back onto his pillow. "Sure, sure. Just don’t overthink it. Tomorrow, we just need to get through the first round without getting embarrassed. That’s all that matters."

With that, the atmosphere chilled with the anticipation of the elimination round tomorrow.

Most students were preparing strategies.

Others were worrying about their opponents.

But Lin Yi had just gained two completely new abilities.

Phantom Void Step.

Eternal Spirit Core.
