Translator: 549690339

They chatted for a bit longer, finally managing to dismiss Li Jiao.

Chen Xiao’s phone suddenly rang again, he glanced down, his brows slightly wrinkling.

“What’s up?”

“It’s Chen Zixiong, he wants me to join his team.”

Zheng Cheng curiously asked: “Chen Zixiong… Who else is there? How capable are they?”

“Chen Zixiong, a six-star-level swift archer.”

“Yang Lie, a six-star profession Flame Mage.”

“Zhao Yeping, a five-star profession dual-blade wielder.”

“Lin Jianyue, a four-star profession crimson priest.”

“There was also Liu Siyu, but that guy got snatched away by another team.”

“So, including them, we only have nine people.”

Zheng Cheng immediately said, “Nine is enough. Tell them that if they want to, they can join our team, but they have to follow my orders.”

“If they don’t want to, that’s fine too.”

“Okay!”

As Chen Xiao was replying, two more messages arrived on Zheng Cheng’s phone.

Yao Zhixue and Song Chaoyu.

They also inquired about the team situation.

The Professionist’s Union Entrance Examination required them to enter a planet inhabited by different races. Without thinking, they knew it would be dangerous.

They must be fully prepared in order to complete this Union Entrance Examination for new professionists safely!

Forming a team of ten.

His team now includes himself, Yao Zhixue, Song Chaoyu, Chen Xiao, and Cai Shen. That’s five people.

He still needs five more but he doesn’t know…

Zheng Cheng wrote back and asked them to wait for a moment, then turned to Chen Xiao: “How’s it going?”

Chen Xiao said: “They initially disagreed and even tried to recruit me.”

“But as soon as I mentioned that Yao Zhixue and Song Chaoyu were also in our team, they agreed instantly, as if afraid I might change my mind.”

“Especially when they found out Brother Cheng and Cai Shen had joined The Night’s Watch, their tone was almost bitter!”

“That’s for sure!”

Cai Shen immediately preened: “Do they think they can look down on me? I’m part of The Night’s Watch!”

“Hehehe…”

“Did they agree?”

“Um, they did!”

Zheng Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Add them to a group chat. I have some directions to give.”

“Okay!”

Zheng Cheng quickly set up the group chat and added everyone.

Group owner: Zheng Cheng.

Admins: Chen Xiao, Cai Shen, Song Chaoyu.

He was going to make Yao Zhixue an admin, but she wasn’t interested.

Group members: Yao Zhixue, Chen Zixiong, Yang Lie, Zhao Yeping, Lin Jianyue.

Zheng Cheng: “@everyone. Welcome to my team, but let’s make it clear up front. Once we enter the irradiated planet, everyone must follow my orders. If not, don’t blame me for kicking you out.”

Cai Shen was the first to type: “I agree!”

Chen Xiao: “I agree too.”

The others remained silent for a moment, then Yao Zhixue followed up with a message: “I agree.”

Song Chaoyu: “I also agree.”

Inside a villa, Chen Zixiong begrudgingly deleted the words “why should I” and typed out: “I agree.”

“Brother Xiong, do we really need to give command to Zheng Cheng?”

Next to him were four others.

It was none other than Yang Lie, Zhao Yeping, Lin Jianyue.

The last one was Chen Zixiong’s good friend, Liu Siyu.

Chen Zixiong gave him a glance: “What else can we do? Just agree.”

Yang Lie, Zhao Yeping, Lin Jianyue: “We also agree.”

Chen Zixiong typed again: “Captain Zheng, our team has only nine people. Should we recruit one more?”

Zheng Cheng replied quickly: “Do you have any recommendations?”

“Liu Siyu!” Chen Zixiong typed eagerly: “Liu Siyu is in our class. His awakened profession is a five-star shield warrior. He’s also a main tank (MT)!”

Zheng Cheng said: “Okay.”

Seeing those two words, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Zixiong said: “Zheng Cheng’s team includes one nine-star professionist and one eight-star professionist. Even Chen Xiao has great defense.”

“Even if Cai Shen and Zheng Cheng are burdens, we still have a good chance to get a ‘good’ evaluation in The Professionist’s Union Entrance Examination!”

Liu Siyu smirked and said, “Brother Xiong! Are we really teaming up with Zheng Cheng?”

“Do you have a better idea?”

Chen Zixiong frowned and said, “In our school, only Yao Zhixue and Song Chaoyu have the highest profession stars. Everyone is eager to team up with them. Are you still unsatisfied?”

“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

Liu Siyu said, “I was just wondering why Zheng Cheng would be the team leader, it should be Chen Xiao at least.”

“Who knows.”

Chen Zixiong shrugged: “Just listen to the orders when the time comes. If our ten-man team joins forces, we might even make it into the top 100!”

Lin Jianyue suddenly said: “Let’s meet up with them when we have time, to get to know each other.”

“I’m quite curious to see with my own eyes what magic Zhengcheng has that has attracted these two proud daughters, Yao Zhixue and Song Chaoyu, so devotedly.”

Over at Zheng Cheng’s place, the others were still discussing when there was a knock at the room door.

Upon opening the door, a man in a black suit and black sunglasses stood there.

“You are…”

“Mr. Zheng Cheng, correct?” The man in black said: “Miss asked me to give this to you.”

As he said this, he handed over an exquisitely carved wooden box.

“Thanks.”

“Excuse me.”

After receiving the wooden box, the man left without looking back.

Chen Xiao moved closer and asked curiously, “Brother Cheng, who was that? And what’s this…?”

Zheng Cheng closed the door and replied, “Nothing important, just something a friend asked him to deliver.”

“Let’s call it a day. The real assessment is in three days, get a good rest these few days,” Zheng Cheng said, “Also, find some time to meet up with Chen Zixiong and the others in these three days, get to know each other.”

“How about your gem? Have you grafted it yet?”

Chen Xiao’s face fell as soon as he heard about gem grafting.

“Damn it Brother Cheng, you have no idea how hard gem grafting is!”

“I’ve only grafted up to a level four gem. I’ve already shattered two level five gems.”

“My parents are about to sell the house, if I shatter another level five gem, we’ll be completely bankrupt!”

Zheng Cheng thought for a moment and said, “I’ll ask Yunxiao, she should have a solution.”

“After all, it concerns our college entrance exam. If we can enhance our strength by just a bit, it’s worth it.”

“Brother Cheng, let me take him there,” Cai Shen approached and said, “I have an appointment to try on equipment with Master Xu today, I can bring him along.”

“Good!”

After the two of them left, Zheng Cheng opened the wooden box sent by Li Jiao.

In the box, in addition to the Sacrificial Learning Notes obtained from the Half-Orc Priest, there was another stack of papers.

The papers contained the translated contents of the Sacrificial Learning Notes.

The handwriting was clear and beautiful; simple and elegant – it was obviously Li Jiao’s handwriting.

“The handwriting is pretty, I just don’t know about the content…”

He picked it up and looked at it. There was also a letter written by Li Jiao at the front.

“Brother Zheng Cheng, some of the notes are the diary of the orc priest, they’re a bit dark… I didn’t translate them.”

“I recorded both the contents I translated and the original ones, you can use the translated content to contemplate on the original intent.”

“Strive to understand the new skill soon!”

He casually put the paper aside and started looking at the translated contents and the original notes.

“Berserk War Song, also known as Frenzied War Song. The song invokes the latent violence in the beastmen’s hearts, improving the target’s attack, strength, and speed, blocking a certain degree of pain, transforming the target into an unstoppable war machine!”

“However, the target whose strength and mind are affected by the Berserk War Song will decrease accordingly and there’s a high probability of mental confusion and indiscriminate attacks.”

“They can’t use techniques, won’t actively use skills, they can only engage in mindless combat.”

“The backlash is also severe and once the target exits the berserk state, they will enter a weakened state.”

Zheng Cheng carefully read the introduction and learning methods of the Berserk War Song and continued his attempts.

“Agility War Song, also known as the Song of Mountain Leap, it comprehensively enhances the target’s agility and speed.”

“Stone Skin War Song, also known as Body-Protecting Stone Skin War Song or Mountain Whisper Song, it can add a layer of stonelike skin on the target to enhance their defense and magic defense.”

Zheng Cheng studied and pondered carefully, immersing himself involuntarily.

The next day, he still dedicated all his attention to the Sacrificial Learning Notes.

Only when he received Chen Xiao’s notice in the evening did he meet up with his teammates for a while to introduce and understand each other a bit.

After returning, he continued studying.

The third day was the same.

“Three priest war song skills, it’s impossible to comprehend all of them in a short time.”

“Focus on understanding one!”

“Berserk War Song!”

After careful consideration, he once again devoted his whole heart and soul into comprehending the Berserk War Song.

Finally.

In the deep of the third night, he got it!

A burst of inexplicable thoughts and feelings suddenly resonated in his mind.

He closed his eyes and carefully recalled the confrontation with the horde of Half-Orcs in the Morea Mine.

Berserk War Song.

Madness, disorder, and an unstoppable courage.

This is the effect brought by the Berserk War Song.

As well as the unyielding momentum of the Iron Axe Half-Orc.

Though he died a hundred times, he had no regrets.

After being affected by the Berserk War Song, there’s only one thought in your mind.

That is… either cut you down or exhaust myself to death!

“I got it!”

“Hahaha…”

In the middle of the night, Zheng Cheng laughed out loud, “I got it! I finally got it!!!”

“Berserk War Song!”

[You have learned a new skill from deeply studying the “Beginner Orc Priest Learning Notes”: Berserk War Song (also known as Frenzied War Song)!]

[Berserk War Song: an aura-type war song, limited to supporting professions such as priests, bishops, scholars, etc. Consumes a certain amount of spiritual power to chant the Berserk War Song, which can cause the target or multiple targets to go berserk. In the berserk state, the target’s strength, agility, attack, and speed double, their sensation of pain reduced, lasts five minutes, after five minutes they will fall into a weakened state.]

[In the berserk state, the target’s mind is affected by the berserkness and cannot distinguish between friend and foe. They will randomly attack the enemy nearest to them. The higher the target’s mental attribute, the better they can resist this abnormal state.]

[You have learned a new skill Berserk War Song… zzz… skill rune disorder…]

A mechanical voice in his mind made Zheng Cheng’s eyes brighten.

“As expected… is it going to mutate again?”

In his mind, a light blue skill rune was slowly forming.

A branch deep in the “Internal” skill tree tightly wrapped around this skill rune.

[System adjusting… adjustment successful!]

[You have learned a new skill: Adrenaline Excitement Technique!]

“What the heck?”

Zheng Cheng was puzzled, “Adrenaline… stimulant?”

[Adrenaline Excitement Technique (Level 1): Mutated skill. Consumes a certain amount of spiritual power to give the target an adrenaline excitement state. In this state, the target’s mind will enter a brief state of excitement, enhancing their control over their body, strength, agility, and constitution, immunizing half of the pain, enhancing all attributes, lasts ten minutes, after ten minutes falls into a weakened state.]

[In the state of adrenaline excitement, there are no abnormal states and the mind is extremely excited, able to quickly find the optimal solution to the current situation. Can make movements beyond human limits or burst out with great strength in an instant.]

[After the adrenaline excitement state ends, the target falls into a weakened state. The weakened state includes but is not limited to fainting, accelerated heartbeat, impotence, epilepsy, babbling, drowsiness, etc.]

[Within 24 hours, only up to five uses of the Adrenaline Excitement Technique can be tolerated. If used more than five times, there is a chance that it will cause blockage in the target’s cerebral blood vessels and fall into conditions such as a stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, respiratory failure, respiratory center paralysis. And other weak states are doubled.]
