Free Web NovelChapter 92: Chapter 92: The Class Token Question
Qin Yuheng did not sleep that night.
Not because he was restless.
Because he was thinking.
The class token fragments lay before him on the stone table inside his private room. The room’s privacy formations were active. The Ancient Silent Bell sub-array beneath the estate muted spiritual ripples. The Hidden Void Storage Ring held decoy resources in the inner treasury. His true hidden inventory remained untouched.
Two fragments floated above the table.
The A Grade Class Token Fragment was shaped like a broken bronze medallion, engraved with faint marks of sword, shield, and flame.
The S Grade Tri-Gate Class Token Fragment was different. It was white-gold and triangular, with red, blue, and black light slowly rotating inside. It felt balanced, but incomplete.
His panel appeared.
[A Grade Class Token Fragment]
[Type: Class path material]
[Effect: Can be fused with compatible fragments to form a class token.]
[Eligible for Primordial Origin Evolution.]
Then the second.
[S Grade Tri-Gate Class Token Fragment]
[Type: High-grade class path material]
[Effect: Contains Strength, Spirit, and Battle gate resonance. Can influence balanced or composite class formation.]
[Eligible for Primordial Origin Evolution.]
Qin Yuheng did not evolve either.
Not yet.
He opened the academy booklet.
Most class tokens formed after the First Gate were basic:
Warrior.
Swordsman.
Guardian.
Assassin.
Mage.
Archer.
Formation Apprentice.
Alchemist Apprentice.
Rare tokens were more specialized:
Thunder Warrior.
Spirit Swordsman.
Blood Spear Fighter.
Void Step Assassin.
Battle Formation Scholar.
Beast Contract Guard.
Higher tokens could affect future skills and class quests, sometimes unlocking hidden paths between Floors 20 and 50.
Qin Yuheng’s current combat style was sword and thunder movement. But his family path hinted at spear, seal, and command. His mother’s hidden lineage hinted at moon, void, and spirit cutting. His true talent did not fit any normal class. freewēbnoveℓ.com
If he used a simple Thunder Warrior Token, it might strengthen his early combat but limit future compatibility.
If he waited, perhaps he could create a unique class through evolved fragments.
He wrote several possibilities.
Thunder Swordsman
Tri-Gate War Lord
Origin Reward Envoy
Heaven-Sealing Spear Sovereign
Void Moon Thunder Commander
Primordial Gate Evolver
He crossed out the last one immediately.
Too revealing.
A class name did not need to expose his talent.
The best class path should provide a believable public explanation while supporting hidden growth.
That meant thunder, battle, and perhaps command.
Not evolution.
Not origin reward.
Not bloodline.
At dawn, Qin Zhengyuan visited him.
He looked at the notes and smiled faintly.
"You are trying to choose both truth and disguise."
Qin Yuheng nodded.
"Yes."
"A good class path does not need to say everything about you. It only needs to not fight your future."
"What would fight my future?"
"A narrow class. Anything that forces one weapon, one element, or one style too early."
Qin Yuheng looked at the crossed names.
"Then a composite path?"
"Possibly. But composite paths are harder. They grow slower at first because they require more materials and understanding."
"That is acceptable."
Qin Zhengyuan nodded.
"I expected that answer."
He picked up a brush and wrote three words.
Gate.
Thunder.
Command.
"Think around these. Gate comes from your First Gate clear and can explain balanced growth. Thunder explains visible power. Command supports team and future army compatibility without revealing bloodline."
Qin Yuheng’s eyes brightened.
Gate Thunder Commander?
Thunder Gate War Commander?
Tri-Gate Thunder Commander?
It sounded plausible, powerful, but not too revealing.
Qin Zhengyuan placed the brush down.
"Do not decide today."
"I know."
"Good. Now go train. Thinking too much without moving makes the mind heavy."
Qin Yuheng smiled.
"Yes, Father."
At the academy, the class token discussion had already become public gossip.
Many students wondered what class Qin Yuheng would choose.
Zhao Tianyu, still humiliated by repeated losses, publicly declared that he would pursue a powerful beast-blood combat class after Floor 10.
Zhao Lan’s people spread rumors that Qin Yuheng might delay class selection because his Talent Fruit awakening did not naturally align with any class.
Lin Xian’er told Qin Yuheng about it over tea.
"Do you want that rumor suppressed?"
"No."
She blinked.
"No?"
"It helps."
"Because it explains delay?"
"Yes."
Lin Xian’er laughed softly.
"You are learning to use rumors."
"I prefer not to."
"But you do."
Qin Yuheng did not deny it.
Meanwhile, Shen Wuji remained in the city, but his role had changed. He was no longer the active challenger. He became an observer. Qin Lian noticed him twice near academy public areas. Qin Mo detected faint surveillance formation residue once near the mission board. None of it violated academy rules directly.
Blood Sun Hall was still watching.
But after Floor 10, Qin Yuheng’s status had risen enough that they had to be more careful.
On the third day after the Perfect Clear, Yu Qingmei gave the team access to the academy’s First Gate Resource Shelf.
The available items included:
A Grade Skill Stabilization Pill
A Grade Class Fusion Guide Crystal
A Grade Low-Level Class Token Fragment
A Grade Gate Pressure Training Pass
S Grade Team Formation Manual Fragment
A Grade Inventory Expansion Stone
Qin Yuheng used merit to purchase the A Grade Class Fusion Guide Crystal.
Not because he planned to follow it blindly.
Because he wanted more information before evolving anything.
The crystal contained known class fusion rules.
Important warnings appeared:
1. Higher-grade fragments increase class potential but may increase fusion difficulty.
2. Incompatible fragments may produce unstable class tokens.
3. Composite classes require a core theme.
4. Class token grade affects first class quest difficulty.
5. Extremely high-grade class tokens may attract Tower Law attention during class awakening.
The fifth warning mattered.
If he enhanced a class token too far, the Tower itself might generate a harder class quest or unusual phenomenon.
That could be dangerous.
Qin Yuheng closed the crystal.
Once again, power had consequences.
That evening, he placed the class fragments back into hidden storage.
For now, the decision was delayed.
Floor 11 would come before class awakening.
He needed more fragments, more understanding, and more control.
As he sealed the storage, a Tower message suddenly appeared.
Not a floor message.
Not a reward message.
A delayed title resonance.
[Title Mark: First Gate Perfect Clear]
[Passive effect activated.]
[Early floors 1–10 recognized as completed foundation path.]
[First Gate Authority Trace acquired.]
[Future gate-type trials may react differently.]
Qin Yuheng’s eyes narrowed.
First Gate Authority Trace.
Another hidden seed.
Another door.
He looked toward the Tower in the distance.
The First Gate was complete.
But it had left something inside him.
Not bloodline.
Not class.
Authority trace.
The road ahead was becoming more complex.
And more dangerous.
