“Dragon Sorcerer?”

Song Jian instantly became excited. This profession sounded extraordinarily superior!

“Yes, it’s a profession with high requirements for bloodline. Without the Dragon Bloodline, no matter how hard you try, it’s impossible to gain entry. You should know, a Dragon Sorcerer is a rare profession. Very rare, indeed.” Dierdeli said with a taut muscular grip around the golden rope in her hand.

“A rare profession?” Song Jian’s heart skipped a beat and asked hurriedly, “Respected Dragon Hunter, could you elaborate on the profession classifications? Are professions also divided into common and rare?”

“Haha, you don’t even know this.” Dierdeli laughed heartily and looked Song Jian up and down. She nodded and said, “It seems you need a responsible tutor to guide you. However, before that, I can tell you about the profession classifications.”

“In this world, there are all sorts of combat professions. There are ten thousand common combat professions, three thousand elite ones, eight hundred are rare, one hundred and eight are legendary, and seventy-two are epic. Starting from the elite professions, each profession has a limited number. If a profession is full, no one else can take on this profession, unless someone already in the profession dies, creating a vacancy!”

“The Dragon Sorcerer is one of the eight hundred rare professions. The number of people hasn’t ever been filled because the entry requirements are too stringent, such as having your Dragon Bloodline concentration above 65% as the lowest threshold. Only those with a Dragon Bloodline concentration of 80%, or even 90%, have the potential to become formidable Dragon Sorcerers!”

“Let me show you first how powerful a Dragon Sorcerer can be, and introduce you to the skills one can possess. We’ll talk about other things later. Oh, yes, to learn about the Dragon Sorcerer combat profession, you must pass a test first…”

“Hmm, let me see, 1 shall pick the simplest assessment for you.”

“Ha, this one it is. As long as you can harm the Black Dragon, I will explain the traits of the Dragon Sorcerer profession to you.” Dierdeli looked at Song Jian and added, “Now, Elbandrean is severely injured and weakened. Do you have any long-range means of attack? If not, I suggest you give up this test. Even when weakened, a blow from Elbandrean would kill you instantly!”

System: Dragon Hunter and Combat Profession Tutor Dierdeli has assigned you a test mission: Inflict damage on the Black Dragon Elbandrean; Task Requirement: Inflict damage on the severely wounded Black Dragon Elbandrean; Time limit: 1 hour; Mission Reward: Receive Dierdeli’s praise, and she will explain information about the profession ‘Dragon Sorcerer’; Mission Penalty: Substantial decrease in Dierdeli’s favorability towards you, lose an opportunity to learn about the combat profession ‘Dragon Sorcerer’.

Looking at the task bar, Song Jian found that completing this test mission would mean half the main mission is completed. He just needed to gain explanations from combat profession tutors five more times, then apply for a selected combat profession.

“Tutor Dierdeli, I happen to have a weapon suited for ranged combat,” Song Jian said with a smile.

He hoisted the Rocket Launcher. After unleashing a “Heart’s Eye” skill on the Black Dragon Elbandrean, a giant blood-red crosshairs began scanning up and down the dragon’s body.

Dierdeli seemed a bit stunned, detecting something. She turned to look at Song Jian, a smile creeping up on her lips.

After a long while, the crosshairs finally stopped, locking onto the Black Dragon Elbandrean’s right eye.

Bang-

Song Jian pulled the trigger. A silver-glowing rocket flaming a long tail behind it, aimed for the Black Dragon Elbandrean’s right eye.

In this shot, Song Jian had loaded the Rocket Launcher with 50% Invisible Sword Qi. He dared not add more, fearing it might break the Rocket Launcher again.

Seemingly sensing danger, the Black Dragon opened its mouth wide and slightly tilted its head back. Elemental fire gathered in the air, quickly forming a fireball that spun like a nebula.

Song Jian’s heart sank. If hit by the dragon’s Vortex Fireball, the rocket would surely explode and cause no damage to the Black Dragon.

Dierdeli gave a subtle smile and yanked back the rope in her hands. Suddenly, dozens of golden ropes glowed brilliantly and pressed into the dragon’s flesh.

“Clack- Clack-”

The Black Dragon Elbandrean’s blood burst forth anew from its wound. A mournful dragon’s cry was heard as the Vortex Fireball, which was just about to form, collapsed instantly, turning into a cluster of shooting stars and a pillar of thick smoke jutting from the dragon’s mouth and nostrils.

The rocket traced an arc in the air, pierced through the thick smoke, and aimed for the Black Dragon’s right eye.

Boom-

With a loud crash, the rocket hit the right eye of the Black Dragon. Instantly, a damage number of over thirty floated above the head of the Black Dragon Elbandrean.

“Huh!” Dierdeli wore a surprised look on her face and turned to Song Jian. “You actually managed to deal thirty-two points of damage. That’s truly astonishing.”

“Oh, why do you say that?” Song Jian could not help but ask in surprise.

“Well, you are only level ten, and Elbandrean is a level eighty elite BOSS. Even in his injured state, you could not possibly break through its defenses!”

“The strength of a dragon’s body is harder than steel. They don’t fear firearms. Even I can only slowly wear it out, depleting its energy and vitality to inflict damage. This process sometimes lasts for several hours, even days, just to kill a single dragon!”

“I thought at best you could deal it one point of damage, but I didn’t expect… Hehe, impressive!” Dierdeli’s face bloomed in admiration and nodded towards Song Jian.

System: You have completed Dragon Hunter and Combat Profession Tutor Dierdeli’s test mission, and won Dierdeli’s favor!

“Now, let me take you into the Explanation Space for combat professions and allow you to comprehend the formidable strength of the Dragon Sorcerer profession!”

With that, a blur crossed Song Jian’s vision, and he found himself in a special space.

Song Jian had been in this space before and did not exhibit any surprise. Only he was present in this space. Dierdeli had not entered with him.

Quickly, Dierdeli’s voice resonated in the space. Along with her voice, a character appeared in the space, clothed in a long, golden robe and holding a Magic Staff made from dragon vertebrae.
