[Prompt: You have entered a special trial zone: Path of the Unclassed!]
[Detected that you do not yet possess an official class. All class-related skills have been sealed!]
[Class effects attached to equipment have temporarily been disabled!]
[Warning: Certain non-class powers have been suppressed by the trial rules. Forcible use will increase the difficulty of the trial!] freewēbnoveℓ.com
...
Hearing the notifications, John’s expression darkened.
At this moment, he finally understood what the first test of the Trial of the First Seat was.
So the All-Class Magus did not awaken every class automatically from the very beginning.
Before becoming an All-Class Magus, every trial-taker first had to face a state of having no class.
The trial-taker would lose all class bonuses, class cores, and even their entire skill system.
They could only rely on their most basic body, Spirit, willpower, and attributes to endure.
At first glance, this stage seemed to have no difficulty at all.
But in truth, its danger level had skyrocketed.
Because the combat habits of most players depended entirely on skills.
Once their skills were sealed, their combat power would be greatly reduced.
John’s base attributes far surpassed those of ordinary players, but with his skills locked, he had also lost a huge number of combat methods.
For example, he could no longer use Flameserpent Ray to illuminate the path ahead, nor could he summon undead to scout the way.
Even the Space Authority he relied on the most had been sealed. He could neither fly nor teleport.
At this moment, John had become an "Unclassed" who possessed only attributes, without any class system whatsoever.
However, he did not panic much.
He simply continued walking forward in silence.
In the darkness, John walked for an unknown length of time.
Suddenly, the water surface beneath his feet changed in texture.
In just a few breaths, it rapidly solidified into black stone slabs.
As the stone slabs appeared, the darkness on both sides swiftly retreated outward.
A vast and majestic hall entered his sight.
[You have entered the Hall of the Unclassed!]
John’s gaze sharpened as he stepped into the Hall of the Unclassed.
There were no monsters inside the hall.
At the center stood five enormous stone pillars.
From left to right, each pillar was carved with a symbol representing a different attribute.
They were Strength, Constitution, Agility, Spirit, and Intelligence.
The pillars in the Hall of the Unclassed were not carved with the five major class systems, but rather with the five basic attributes underlying all class systems.
In the end, every class system was built upon these five attributes.
No class could exist apart from them.
While John was observing them, a line of ancient-looking text suddenly appeared at the deepest part of the hall.
[If you wish to carry all classes, you must first prove that you possess no irreparable weakness!]
The moment the text appeared, the five stone pillars erupted with different rays of light.
John, standing before the pillars, suddenly felt his body sink.
The five basic attribute laws had begun testing him at the same time.
The Strength Law transformed into an invisible giant hand, pressing down fiercely on John’s shoulders.
Under the tremendous pressure, John’s knees began to bend slightly.
This Strength Law was trying to force him to kneel!
And this was not merely a simple suppression of weight.
It was a Strength Law capable of condensing the power of melee classes such as warriors, berserkers, and weapon masters.
Anyone lacking sufficient Strength would have their bones crushed in an instant and be reduced to a crippled heap.
John gritted his teeth and barely endured it with his own Strength attribute.
But soon, the second law descended.
The Constitution Law.
Crack! Crack!
A series of sharp sounds rang out from inside John’s body.
Under the influence of the Constitution Law, his flesh and blood began to suffer a terrifying tearing sensation.
As the foundational law of classes such as knights, shield guards, and guardians, the Constitution Law required the trial-taker to possess an extraordinarily powerful physique as a vessel for life.
If one’s Constitution was insufficient, their body would collapse before class energy could even be infused into them.
Fortunately, Constitution was one of John’s strengths.
Even though much of his flesh had been torn open, he still did not break down.
Immediately afterward, the third law descended.
The Agility Law.
Swish, swish, swish!
From the surrounding darkness, countless fine threads extended outward.
The threads were like the killing intent of an assassin, sinister and treacherous as they wrapped around John’s limbs and joints.
They sliced back and forth continuously, forcing him to maintain his bodily reactions and speed under extreme conditions.
If one’s Agility was even slightly lacking, they would be dragged to death alive by the sluggishness of their own consciousness.
John considered his Agility attribute to be fairly high, yet he still suffered greatly under the torment of those fine threads.
Before he could even adapt, countless illusions appeared before his eyes.
The undead army going out of control beneath the giant tree.
The oppressive aura of the Witch Round Table.
And the world-ending catastrophe he had witnessed at the moment of his death in his previous life.
Scene after scene surged into his mind, trying to tear open John’s mental defenses.
This was the terror of the Spirit Law.
Those with weak Spirit would be driven insane on the spot by the illusions and noise of the laws.
However, John’s Spirit attribute was powerful enough.
Aside from a momentary daze at the beginning, he quickly adapted.
The fifth law, the Intelligence Law, manifested in a more tangible form.
Countless class runes flashed continuously before John’s eyes.
They did not launch an attack.
Instead, they forcibly poured rules, formulas, arrays, incantations, and skill structures into John’s mind one after another.
The amount of knowledge was terrifying, and all of it was obscure and difficult to understand.
If one’s Intelligence was not high enough, the knowledge infusion alone would probably be enough to burst their brain instantly.
John endured desperately beneath the pressure of the five attribute laws.
And he soon discovered that the five attribute laws were not testing him one after another.
They were exerting pressure at the same time, leaving him no room to defend himself properly.
This was the most terrifying part of the law trial.
Ordinary class players usually only needed to reach the required standard in one or two attributes to guarantee their combat power.
For example, warrior classes focused mainly on Strength and Constitution.
Assassin classes focused mainly on Agility.
Mage classes focused mainly on Spirit and Intelligence.
These classes did not demand much from all attributes at once.
But the All-Class Magus was different.
If even a single attribute had a weakness, it would cause the trial-taker to collapse in all aspects.
At first, John relied on his high attributes to forcibly endure for a while.
But as time passed, the pressure from the laws grew heavier and heavier.
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot.
His body had been covered in countless wounds cut open by the fine threads.
From within those wounds, torn and shattered flesh continuously spilled out. freewebnovёl.ƈom
His legs had already bent at a horrifying angle.
John could feel that his body was gradually approaching its limit.
Even the system began to sound warning notifications.
[Warning: Pressure from the five basic laws continues to increase!]
[Warning: Current Spirit attribute is under excessive pressure!]
[Warning: Current Agility attribute is under excessive pressure!]
[Warning: Current Intelligence attribute is under excessive pressure!]
[Warning: ...]
Warnings appeared for all five attribute values.
After seeing the prompts, John finally realized that it was time to use the attribute points he had saved earlier.
Whichever attribute was lacking, he would make up for it!
"System, I want to allocate my points!"
