The text in front of Ye Bai faded, bringing an almost suffocating sense of oppression.
The entire space of the testing room began to distort.
Ye Bai noticed that the surrounding walls had disappeared, and without realizing it, he had been transported to a new space!
The space was filled with mist, obscuring his vision.
Directly ahead, a white figure appeared, slowly walking towards Ye Bai.
The two were not far apart, yet a hazy mist separated them, making it impossible to see each other's features clearly.
A gentle and amiable voice sounded,
"You're early."
Through the thin mist, the other person spoke slowly,
"Level 60, the second job change, that's when you should come.
Right now, you're still too inexperienced. This projection of mine is left at level 199, even with only a tenth of its power, the gap is too large."
Ye Bai pondered and nodded, then asked,
"Then should I leave?"
"Pfft."
The other person chuckled lightly, as if chatting casually,
"Since you're here, why not chat a bit longer, after all, this projection of mine will dissipate soon.
Your next challenge will be one of the other two."
Since the Supreme Being's projection had spoken, Ye Bai continued the conversation,
"May I ask your name..."
"Traceless."
The figure reported his name.
Ye Bai raised an eyebrow, the Supreme Being [Traceless]?!
According to legend, Traceless was a warrior who wielded a sword, leaving no trace with his blade, slaying countless enemies!
There were many records about Traceless in textbooks.
At level 200, he once went to the front lines alone with his sword, slaying thirteen Demon Race Battle Kings, countless Battle Generals, and Warriors!
One man, one sword, held a thousand-mile frontline, scaring off a million demon troops!
Armies avoided the white-clad figure, gods and demons feared Traceless!
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
From then on,
Traceless became famous worldwide, unstoppable, killing gods and demons alike, ultimately achieving the position of Supreme Being!
In short: he is a master swordsman!
Thinking of this, Ye Bai's eyes lit up.
With such a close combat expert in front of him, how could he not take advantage?
With Ye Bai's opportunistic nature,
A Supreme Being's projection had come, he couldn't let Ye Bai leave empty-handed!
"Traceless, my deskmate is a fan of yours!"
As soon as Ye Bai spoke, the figure across the mist was visibly taken aback.
Your deskmate is my fan, what does that have to do with you, what use is this approach?
You little rascal, not playing by the rules!
"Why don't you give me a skill book, I'll learn it and teach my deskmate!"
Traceless:... Then why don't I just give it directly to your deskmate, are you trying to make a profit as a middleman?
Also, you're a mage, why learn close combat skills?
Traceless seemed to guess Ye Bai's intention.
This guy, is he planning to dual-wield magic and martial arts?
Just to catch enemies off guard in battle?
One shouldn't, at least shouldn't be so shameless.
Anyway, since Ye Bai didn't end up fighting Traceless, he seized the opportunity to take advantage!
After all, a Supreme Being has thick skin and a big family, they wouldn't mind this small favor.
"Interesting kid."
Traceless raised his arm, and a round disc flew out from Ye Bai's embrace, the Anti-Magic Disc!
"This item carries the Demon God's mark, even a War God-level forging master would be deceived.
Carrying this on the Blue Planet or in the Eternal Tower is fine.
But if you go to the Abyssal Plane, it won't be a lifesaver, but a death sentence!"
As he spoke, Traceless pressed his palm downward.
Countless black threads were drawn from the Anti-Magic Disc, like unraveling silk.
The black threads gathered into a mass, constantly changing shape, seemingly nurturing some terrifying monster!
"The Demon God's mark has been stripped by me, condensed into a monster, roughly... quasi-Battle King-level strength."
Traceless pointed at the black mass in front of Ye Bai and said,
"You came too early, your level is too low, fighting me would be harmful, it's better for you to battle this monster."
"If you can defeat it within 5 minutes, I'll give you a skill book."
"Deal!"
Ye Bai, successful in his attempt to take advantage, was in a great mood, raising his staff ready to strike.
"Wait a moment, the monster hasn't fully formed yet."
Taking advantage of this gap, Traceless spoke,
"This monster is quasi-Battle King-level, with health points over a billion, magic resistance over ten thousand, and a 65% reduction to lightning element damage..."
Traceless introduced the soon-to-be-born monster, indirectly lowering the difficulty for Ye Bai.
Since Asura's job change to [Thunder Fury Mage · Lightning Element], all Demon Gods in the Abyssal Plane have been crazily stacking lightning resistance!
They know well that on Asura's path to rise, there will always be a few unlucky ones who lose their heads, becoming stepping stones for his fame.
Stacking their magic resistance, the unlucky ones will be others!
Compete, compete to the death!
Ye Bai, possessing the Eye of Insight, could see the information Traceless mentioned.
On the other hand, for Ye Bai's current output capability, a quasi-Battle King is really not much!
Is over a billion health points impressive?
Ye Bai's current Heavenly Thunder can deal nearly 5000 damage, combined with 30 layers of Ready to Go, with an 11 billion bonus, output capability over a trillion!
Even with a 65% damage reduction, it's still a trillion-level output!
A billion health points aren't even enough to fill the gaps between teeth.
"Almost ready."
Traceless suddenly stopped, the black mass had turned into a six-armed monster, struggling to rush at Ye Bai.
"Don't hold back, give it your all, this place can block any prying eyes."
"Remember, finish it within five minutes."
"Timing... starts now!"
Bang—
The six-armed monster wanted to charge at Ye Bai, its four eyes glowing with terrifying red light.
"Heavenly Thunder!"
Ye Bai pointed his staff forward, an incredibly thick red lightning bolt descended from the sky, carrying destructive power, sweeping everything.
He had already stacked 30 layers of Ready to Go, casting Heavenly Thunder upon meeting!
Boom—
After being baptized by the lightning, the monster didn't even survive 0.1 seconds, turning directly into ashes!
I did it, one move to finish it, what more is there to say?
Retracting his staff, Ye Bai looked at Traceless behind the mist, and said casually,
"Where were we in our conversation, let's continue."
Traceless:...
Damn, this kid managed to show off!
Even the Supreme Being Traceless couldn't have anticipated,
A level 26 Asura could actually one-shot a quasi-Battle King!
Five minutes?
Not needed, one move is enough!
Of course, Traceless's vision far surpassed ordinary people.
He could immediately tell that the reason Asura could unleash such high damage was due to stacking some kind of buff!
In other words,
In terms of output, Asura's burst damage is extremely high, but his sustainability is relatively average.
It's just unknown how long it takes for Asura to stack these buffs.
The mist slightly parted to the sides, Traceless's figure became clearer, Ye Bai's expression tensed, waiting for what came next.
Traceless's voice sounded again,
But this time, his voice carried rare seriousness, solemnly saying,
"Asura, I retract my previous evaluation of you, and I apologize for my underestimation."
"Now, you are qualified to fight me!"
