Leaving the Wolf's Den, Ye Bai headed straight for the Eternal Tower.
He summoned the Eternal Core Crystal and placed his palm on it, as a white light engulfed him.
"Teleporting, current floor: 2."
"Wish you a swift clearance of the Eternal Tower."
When he opened his eyes again, Ye Bai found himself on a desolate land, with devastation and chaos as far as the eye could see.
The sky was covered with thick, dark clouds, heavy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
"Eternal Tower, Second Floor—Job Change Realm!"
Ye Bai looked at the scene before him, and the corresponding information surfaced in his mind.
The first floor of the Eternal Tower was mainly a leveling area for levels 1 to 10.
Level 10 is the first job change level for players!
Thus, the second floor of the Eternal Tower, as a personal dungeon, serves only one purpose—job change!
Players kill monsters to drop job change items, select the most suitable item for themselves, and complete the job change.
However!
Ye Bai faced an awkward situation—he had already changed jobs!
And it was an SSS Rank template—Thunder Fury Mage (Lightning Element), the most suitable choice for Ye Bai.
The Job Change Realm was utterly useless to him.
That was what Ye Bai thought before entering the second floor of the Eternal Tower.
Once inside, new information appeared before Ye Bai's eyes.
[Achieve 100% exploration for additional rewards]
[Thunder Fury Mage will gain an additional element]
"What a pleasant surprise!"
The Thunder Fury Mage template Ye Bai acquired belonged to the Lightning Element, with maxed-out damage output.
Being an SSS Rank job template, all attributes and enhancements were top-notch.
If he could improve further, it would undoubtedly be a profitable venture for Ye Bai!
"This floor has no strategy, just go all out!"
Ye Bai looked at the surrounding monsters, eager to start.
Since his debut, Ye Bai's method of dealing with bosses had always been to stack up Ready to Go and finish everything with a single Lightning Arrow!
Even when defeating Lian Zheng, he used the same tactic.

In reality, among the damage skills Ye Bai mastered, Heavenly Thunder had higher damage compared to Lightning Arrow, and when the target's health was below 30%, Heavenly Thunder could deal true damage!
However,
Ye Bai would never use Heavenly Thunder lightly in public!
The reason was simple.
Heavenly Thunder was a signature skill of the Thunder Fury Mage, highly recognizable, and once used, the traces left behind could easily lead people to associate it with Asura!
After all, the whole world knew Asura had changed jobs to become a Thunder Fury Mage.
On the other hand, Lightning Arrow was common; any mage could learn it, making it impossible to trace back to Ye Bai.
"Perfect, I'll take this battle as a chance to practice Heavenly Thunder!"
As a job-exclusive skill, using Heavenly Thunder enough times would increase its proficiency, with a chance to upgrade!
With his mind made up, Ye Bai surveyed his surroundings with a clear plan.
"Goal 1: Achieve 100% exploration and gain an additional element!"
"Goal 2: Use Heavenly Thunder as much as possible, aiming for advancement!"
Ye Bai opened the skill description for Heavenly Thunder:
"[Heavenly Thunder (LV1)]: Summons a Heavenly Thunderbolt to strike the enemy, dealing (200+2*Intelligence) Lightning Element damage. When the enemy's health is below 30%, it deals true damage instead.
Each time Heavenly Thunder hits an enemy, it permanently increases the skill's base Lightning damage by 5 points.
Enemies hit by Heavenly Thunder receive a 100% slowing effect and a random negative buff.
Mana Cost: 200 points
Cooldown: 2S"
Ye Bai's Intelligence attribute was 285 points, which meant 200+285*2=770 points of damage!
Thunder Fury Mage could increase Lightning skill damage by 100%, and Nature's Force added 15%, resulting in 770*2.15=1655 points of damage!
Without stacking any buffs, Ye Bai could deal 1655 points of Lightning damage to a target with 0 magic resistance!
If the target's health was below 30%, it directly converted to 1655 points of true damage!
The most terrifying aspect was the growth potential of Heavenly Thunder; each use increased the base damage by 5 points!
After closing the skill description, Ye Bai looked at a two-headed ogre not far away.
[Two-Headed Ogre, Health: 2500/2500, a perfect target, oh, it noticed you and decided to make you its next meal]
The two-headed ogre looked at Ye Bai, moving its clumsy steps to charge at him.
"Heavenly Thunder!"
"-1364!"
A bright red number appeared above the ogre's head, and its charging body suddenly slowed, as if in a slow-motion scene from a movie.
Slowing Buff!
Heavenly Thunder had a 2-second cooldown, but Thunder Fury Mage could reduce cooldown by 50%, leaving only 1 second.
"Heavenly Thunder!"
A second later, another azure lightning bolt struck down.
"-1665!"
The ogre's health dropped below 30%, directly ignoring magic resistance and dealing true damage!
Boom—
The ogre collapsed with a charred smell emanating from its body.
"Experience +200!"
"Exploration +0.1%!"
In less than two seconds, the ogre was defeated, and Heavenly Thunder's base damage increased by 10 points.
"Not bad!"
Ye Bai was satisfied, his gaze shifting to more distant monsters.
To him, these monsters were walking experience points, the perfect growth tools for Heavenly Thunder!
"Don't run, taste my Heavenly Thunder!"
Rumble—
Across the barren land, thunder roared continuously, and monsters fell one after another, with Ye Bai enjoying every moment.
"Wind Slash!"
"Heavenly Thunder!"
"Monkey Steals the Peach!"
Sometimes, happiness is just that simple.
...
"Is this the second floor of the Eternal Tower?"
Liu Xueqi curiously surveyed her surroundings, the canary on her shoulder full of disdain.
Yesterday, she fought on the first floor for six hours, relying on her powerful pet and the limited-time buff provided by Asura, reaching level 10 early.
Today, she cleared with an exploration rate of 83%!
Before entering the Eternal Tower, her grandfather Liu Qingyan specifically instructed her to complete the job change today!
A great opportunity awaited her, and missing it would be a lifelong regret!
Liu Xueqi dared not slack off, rushing to the second floor to proceed with the job change!
"Kill as many monsters as possible, drop high-level job change items, and increase exploration."
The canary on Liu Xueqi's shoulder once again transformed into a Golden-Winged Roc, with golden flames ravaging the land, and monsters continuously perishing in the sea of fire!
"Fortunately, the second floor is a solo dungeon, allowing me to go all out!"
Liu Xueqi thought to herself, keeping her second awakening of the S Rank Talent a secret!
Even Liu Qingyan supported Liu Xueqi's approach; in these critical times, developing quietly and making a fortune in silence was the way to go.
"Based on my previous experience, reaching 80% exploration on the second floor and obtaining an S Rank job template would be an exceptional performance!"
"Going higher would be challenging and likely to fail."
Liu Xueqi was well aware of her capabilities.
"Let's aim for 80% and strive for it!"
An 80% exploration rate, considering her S Rank Talent, was already an excellent achievement.
With her mind set, Liu Xueqi, alongside the Golden-Winged Roc, embarked on her journey of conquest!
...
"Exploration rate at 90%."
Ye Bai looked at the desolate wasteland filled with corpses, retracting Nature's Force, his body untouched by dust, feeling particularly at ease.
He was the only living person on the entire wasteland.
Like the Grim Reaper descending upon the earth, leaving no survivors in his wake.
"According to the guide, after killing all the monsters, reaching 90% exploration, the final BOSS will appear!"
"Deal as much damage to the BOSS as possible to increase exploration, and upon successful defeat, reach 100% exploration!"
Ye Bai's eyes shone brightly as he gazed at the sky.
As the last monster breathed its last, the thick clouds began to shift, emitting deafening roars, with a massive shadow looming over Ye Bai's head, as if an indescribable terror was about to descend!
Ye Bai focused intently, ready for anything!
The big one was coming!
