For warriors, it can be called physical strength; for mages and priests, it can be called magic power; and there are also some niche professions, too many to list.

Therefore, the early Elementalists' Association collectively referred to it as "Power".

Strength is a type of energy that is consumed. It can be replenished naturally, through medicine, and through endurance skills that can be learned at the intermediate level.

Of course, for Xiao He, strength is his mana bar.

But the most important point is that, in addition to the consumption, the power value also affects the elementalist's attack power.

Xiao He put a lot of effort into studying this data.

Since "strength" is a consumable value that also affects the upper limit of attack power, the best analogy to understand it is: only when the strength is at its maximum can the first skill released achieve its maximum effect.

This "consumption algorithm" depends on the affinity of the currently used skill. The higher the affinity, the lower the percentage of consumption.

Regardless of how much strength you have left, the skill attack power is always 100% of your current strength. If you only have 1 point of strength left, then the base damage is 1.

It is worth considering that this budget attack power is always affected by the "true damage algorithm".

In other words, the panel values ​​look incredibly high, but in actual combat, everyone is just scratching the surface.

The further you go, the more you need to scrape your skin.

Once all the power points are depleted, an elementalist is no different from an ordinary person.

Therefore, in a battle, "endurance" is an eternal topic.

When Xiao He realized this, he increasingly felt that his "talented skills" were utterly useless...

With a wave of his hand.

He Yu spun around and twirled out.

Its dark, indistinct appearance made it impossible for viewers further away to guess what it was.

Warriors can use all sorts of weapons.

Mages and priests are really not that good.

Warriors primarily rely on combat skills, with elemental status effects as a secondary tactic.

Mages and priests, on the other hand, are entirely elementalists, while melee mages like Red Lotus are simply an exception.

"Is this the witch's personal disciple?"

"I think it looks a bit like it..."

"After all, even the weapon is random. Could it be a melee priest?"

"Hahaha, you're really joking..."

The next second, their voices stopped abruptly.

because……

Xiao He was indeed standing with Jin Ling.

Of course, he didn't run there by himself.

Jinling used the wind to her advantage, exchanging blows with Honglian dozens of times, and finally found an opportunity to get past Honglian's blockade and appear in front of Xiao He.

"You little punk, if I can't handle that woman, I can handle you, you country bumpkin?"

Seeing Jin Ling's disdainful smile, Xiao He blinked his big eyes.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

"Sigh...why isn't she moving at all? Has she been scared out of her wits?"

"It's understandable that she's nervous, probably because it's her first time here. After all, she's a young girl, so there's no need to be too harsh on her..."

A tornado swept in violently.

Xiao He's lotus-shaped hat was blown away.

Her long, light chestnut hair cascaded down to her waist, where it curled into a ball.

Even Jinling, who was closest to her, couldn't help but be taken aback.

Her indifference was tinged with affability, and her smile held a hint of awkwardness; she was a girl untouched by the world's dust.

What are you looking at?

A light, airy voice entered her ears, and Jinling suddenly realized that she was in a terrible state.

My strength is decreasing, my speed is slowing down, and even my thoughts seem to be getting muddled.

"Priest's first skill, Blessing."

Faced with her puzzled expression, Xiao He offered only this explanation.

"Whoosh—"

The discussion in the audience suddenly reached a new high.

The recorder on the sidelines immediately extracted the footage from that minute and projected it onto the circular wall behind the stands, where it was played on a loop.

In the replay, it is clear that when the golden bell approached Xiao He, the jade lotus began to glow.

This is equivalent to a chanting process.

All of the priest's skills require chanting.

Because they need to achieve the balance they require through the resonance of all elements.

Only by grasping this balance can one successfully cast a skill. Then, through prediction or by applying elemental markers in advance, the process from casting to releasing the skill can be completed.

"At this moment, the audience must be very surprised, and so am I!" the commentator said, pointing a beam of light at the circular wall.

Xiao He's jade lotus was highlighted.

"First of all, as a student of the renowned fire-elemental master Honglian, this young lady Xiao He clearly possesses a unique weapon!"

"This black lotus flower must be her weapon!"

"Yes! Everyone was surprised that her hand didn't touch the flower, and her level was only 5. So how exactly did she control the weapon remotely?"

"..."

Everyone was speechless. "Why don't you tell us what happened? Anyone can ask a question."

"Secondly, these eight seconds are also the most crucial part of this first direct confrontation between these two elite students—"

The commentator paused, seemingly struggling to find the right words.

"Blue team's level 5 priest Xiao He used the basic priest skill - Blessing, to inflict an unexpected wound on Red team's level 33 warrior Jin Ling!"

"That's right! Trauma!!"

The commentator's voice cracked when he shouted those two words.
