After dinner that evening, Lin Ye went straight to the local Church of Holy Light.
Every class emblem comes with its own exclusive mission. Only by completing the mission can one truly bind to a class. The difficulty of these missions is determined by the class's strength.
Take the Flame Warrior, for example. As a rare class, its mission requirements are higher. One must complete a fire-element dungeon to officially obtain the Flame Warrior class.
In contrast, a more common class like Healer has a much easier mission. To bind as a Healer, one only needs to enter the Church of Holy Light and bathe in the holy light. There's no challenge at all.
"Oh? You're here for the holy light ritual? Just stand in front of the Holy Stone Tablet," a young man in a priest's robe said, glancing at Lin Ye with mild surprise before speaking directly.
Today was the day to obtain classes. A considerable number of newly awakened individuals had already received the Healer class emblem.
However, it was quite unusual to see someone as eager as this young man to bind the Healer class.
Typically, more people would start showing up on the second day for certification. Those who obtained the Healer class, being a basic class, often held onto the emblem while trying their luck on the official platform, hoping to exchange it for a more compatible class.
Although the chances were slim, what if they succeeded?
Therefore, it wasn't common for people to bind the Healer class on the first day. Most waited a day or two, and only when their exchange attempts failed did they reluctantly come to terms with reality and accept the basic class at the church.
"Thank you!" Lin Ye expressed his gratitude and followed the young priest's directions, heading toward the Holy Stone Tablet inside the church.
The tablet, glowing with pure light, stood about as tall as a person.
All he needed to do was stand in front of it and wait quietly for a short while to bind the class.
"A fine young man," said an old man in a blue robe, appearing silently beside the young priest. He smiled as he looked at Lin Ye.
The young priest hurriedly bowed his head and greeted, "Bishop."
The old man was the Bishop in a blue robe from the Holy Light Church in Shancheng. He was responsible for overseeing all the churches in the Shancheng region.
The young priest glanced toward the stone tablet again and nodded. "He is indeed quite polite."
By this time, Lin Ye had already completed the class binding with ease.
[Congratulations! You have successfully bound the class 'Healer'!]
[You have obtained 'Healing Spell LV1'.]
[Healing Spell LV1: Utilize the power of Holy Light to heal the target, restoring '100 * Healing Power' HP. When used on creatures of negative energy, it deals double damage.]
[Your talent's compatibility with your class has reached 500%! Healing Power is increased by an additional 5 points, and Spell Power is increased by an additional 5 points!]
The first two notifications seemed fairly normal, but the last one left Lin Ye utterly stunned.
"Healing Power and Spell Power, 5 points each?"
This meant that a single Healing Spell from him was equivalent to five casts by someone with 100% compatibility!
It was completely overpowered.
Most importantly, Lin Ye's Healing Dominator Talent ensured that any healing spell he cast consumed only 1 mana point. The ultra-low mana cost, coupled with his far superior healing power, made Lin Ye's choice to become a Healer feel like destiny.
Just then, a commotion broke out outside.
A group of people burst into the church.
Lin Ye turned to see three individuals rushing in. Their bodies were covered in blood and wounds. One of them was unconscious and being carried by another, clearly on the verge of death.
"Priests! Please, save my brother!"
The leading man shouted frantically as soon as he entered.
The young priest immediately moved forward to assist.
"Help my brother first! He's the most severely injured!" the tall, thin leader urged urgently.
He then instructed his companion to lay the unconscious man on the ground.
The young priest began casting Healing Spells, clearly accustomed to situations like this. The church, located just outside the Adventurers' Square, often received injured adventurers seeking help. The other two companions anxiously waited on the side.
"Hello, do you need healing?"
At that moment, the tall, thin man heard a voice and instinctively turned to look. A student-like youth stood not far away from him.
The man nodded and thanked him but didn't pay much attention to Lin Ye. His main concern remained his unconscious brother.
Lin Ye, however, began casting Healing Spells skillfully.
For a basic healing spell, no casting channel was required. However, due to differences in individual skill levels, the speed of initiating the spell varied. As a result, the actual casting time differed from person to person.
For most beginners, managing to complete a healing spell within 2.5 seconds was considered decent.
For experienced healers, this time could be reduced to around 1.5 seconds.
Experts, on the other hand, could cast even faster, achieving near-instant casts with almost no delay between actions.
Lin Ye was such an expert.
In his previous life, he had reached the extreme of casting two Healing Spells within a single second!
Though his talent in that life had been incompatible with the Healer class, Lin Ye compensated for the disadvantage by rigorously honing his spellcasting techniques.
With nearly instant-cast Healing Spells, he barely managed to make a living in the competitive world of adventurers.
After all, the speed of healing spells could mean the difference between life and death in critical moments.
A healing spell cast too late could only warm the body of a fallen comrade.
With a simple gesture, Lin Ye cast a Healing Spell, and the tall, thin man's body was enveloped in its radiant light.
[Your Healing Spell has restored 500 HP for 'Liu Yong.' You have gained 1 point of Mental Energy!]
"It worked!"
Lin Ye's heart leapt with joy.
He hadn't expected his very first Healing Spell to trigger the Healing Dominator effect, granting him 1 point of permanent Mental Energy!
Tasting this initial success, Lin Ye became even more determined, casting spells with renewed vigor. A soft, glowing light repeatedly flickered on Liu Yong's body.
"This young man is extraordinary!"
Not far away, the old man in the blue robe widened his eyes in astonishment.
As the bishop of the city, even his own rhythm in casting Healing Spells couldn't match that of this young man!
This level of proficiency—where every motion resulted in an instant Healing Spell—was at the level of a Grandmaster in the Church of Holy Light. Yet today, he was witnessing a newly bound Healer achieving such mastery.
It was utterly shocking.
Lin Ye, unaware of the bishop's astonishment, was fully focused on his top priority: maximizing his stats!
After casting over a dozen Healing Spells, Lin Ye had gained a total of 5 points of Mental Energy!
By this point, Liu Yong's health had fully recovered, meaning Lin Ye could no longer trigger the Healing Dominator effect on him.
Without hesitation, Lin Ye turned to the next injured person and began casting once more.
[Your Healing Spell has restored 500 HP for 'Wu Qiang.' You have gained 1 point of Strength!]
The burly man named Wu Qiang seemed to sense something, turning to give Lin Ye a grateful nod.
Lin Ye ignored him entirely, focusing all his efforts on furiously casting Healing Spells!
Meanwhile, the blue-robed bishop's gaze on Lin Ye had completely changed.
