After Finn and his party left, Ryu also looked at Ling Xuan with a serious expression.
"Ling Xuan... you should have already thought about your Development Abilities, right?"
Since he could Level Up to Lv. 2, the next thing he had to consider was something else.
The matter of Development Abilities.
What are called "Development Abilities" are abilities that can be learned in addition to the existing "Basic Abilities."
The timing to learn them is during a [Level Up].
Each time the Lv increases, "Development Abilities" may be added to the [Stats].
These abilities differ in nature from Basic Abilities and allow for the further development and strengthening of special or professional skills.
Ling Xuan also nodded.
"Indeed."
Seeing Ling Xuan's appearance, Ryu also spoke up with a hint of curiosity.
"So, does that mean there are several abilities to choose from?"
Whether one can learn a Development Ability also depends on the [Experience Points] accumulated so far.
As for what kind of abilities will appear, it depends on what actions the person who received the "God's Grace" has taken.
If one hasn't gained noteworthy [Experience Points], even if they [Level Up], they might not learn a Development Ability; conversely, if they have gained sufficient [Experience Points], multiple abilities might appear for them to choose from.
Only one item can be obtained during each [Level Up], and as for which one they want to learn, that is up to the individual's freedom.
Development Abilities appear in the [Stats] through [Level Up].
And Ryu, who had been grinding monsters with Ling Xuan this whole time, naturally knew exactly what Ling Xuan had done.
If he didn't get any Development Abilities from the things he did, *that* would be strange!
And Ling Xuan wasn't actually a Lv. 2 adventurer yet.
What he needed to do now was choose his abilities first, and then have Hestia update his stats.
Only after this series of operations would Ling Xuan truly be considered a Lv. 2 adventurer.
And this time, there were a total of four abilities available for him to choose from.
The first one was "Abnormal Resistance," which could resist symptoms like "burn."
Although this ability might seem insignificant, adventurers in the Dungeon are often afflicted by abnormal effects (accidents), making it quite practical.
Adventurers in Orario often undergo the "baptism" of Hellhounds in the Dungeon, and having such an ability would naturally save them on armor.
However, this ability clearly had no effect on Ling Xuan.
With Kevin's template... his fire resistance was basically maxed out.
So this one could basically be skipped.
Next was "Hunter," specifically for dealing with monsters.
With this ability, when encountering the same type of monster that has been fought before and yielded [Experience Points], the stats would be enhanced.
This ability can only be learned when [Leveling Up] to Lv. 2, and the condition to achieve it is having defeated a large number of monsters in a short period, making it quite difficult to obtain and a valuable ability.
It was popular not only among adventurers but also among the gods.
This ability was also quite good...
But clearly, Ling Xuan wasn't particularly impressed!
As for the third type, it was... "Luck"!
As the name suggests, "luck will improve." For this, Ling Xuan also had no particular need.
Firstly, he wasn't some Lancer, nor did he possess the "Luck E" attribute.
In fact, quite the opposite, his luck was astonishingly good...
But who would dislike being a lucky king?
If the fourth ability wasn't truly too powerful, Ling Xuan might actually have chosen this ability.
As for the ability that could make Ling Xuan give up the "Luck" ability, it was undoubtedly a very significant one.
"Herrscher Authority"!
Upon seeing this ability, even without explicitly stating its effect, Ling Xuan could basically guess what it was about.
This ability would probably allow him to obtain the Herrschers' Authority!
Then this ability was quite important to him!
One should know that the Herrschers' Authority is not weak at all.
The abilities of each Herrscher are noteworthy.
For example, the First Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason's Authority, Analysis and Construction - the Herrscher of Reason doesn't need to understand before constructing, but can directly perform construction, and then the knowledge is automatically transmitted into their brain.
The Herrscher of the Void's ability is also quite good.
Space-time manipulation. The Time Fracture system was developed based on Sirin's abilities, which is why Sirin's spatial abilities contain temporal abilities.
In addition, there is linking to the Imaginary Space.
Actually, the ability of the Fourth Herrscher: the Herrscher of Wind - is worth mentioning.
Can control all fluids, can create and manipulate ideal fluids.
This can be said to be an extremely overpowered ability.
One should know that the abilities possessed by each Herrscher are the ultimate manifestation of a physical law, and the rule Wendy mastered is [Creating and Manipulating Perfect Fluids].
In other words, Wendy can not only control wind, but also water.
If she wanted, she could easily raise a tsunami to engulf a city.
Actually, this ability is not weak at all...
It's just that Wendy played it too poorly.
The power of the Herrscher of Wind, Wendy, is to control fluids. Air is a fluid, water is a fluid, and the blood in the human body is also a fluid. If she understood this, she wouldn't just be spamming wind blades like an ADC every day. How much more decisive would it be to directly make the opponent's blood burst through their blood vessels and die?
Even if she had just woken up in the story and didn't have enough power to control the atmosphere, knowing even a little basic fluid dynamics wouldn't have made her struggle back and forth with three B-rank Valkyries.
Such a strong ability, Wendy just played it like a muggle...
Can only say she still learned too little physics knowledge.
Although part of the reason is also because Wendy appeared too early and wasn't the protagonist, which is why she often failed, right?
But indeed, they all played quite poorly...
Whether it was Sirin, Lei Dian Ya Yi, or Wendy, none of them could properly utilize their abilities.
Suggest Walter Yang open a basic engineering application course based on Herrscher abilities, to teach these science-illiterate people who only know how to fight, cook, and play games how to use Herrscher abilities.
