Asura cleared the SSSS level once again.

  This was the third time in three days that Asura's achievement was announced across the entire Eternal Tower!

  The human powerhouses were almost numb to it; compared to their previous excitement, the public channel was filled with all sorts of humblebrags.

  "The last SSSS rating feels like it was just yesterday. Oh, it really was yesterday, so never mind."

  "The Eternal Tower can't be without an SSSS rating, just like humans can't be without Asura!"

  "This wave is like a proxy service for Eternal Tower ratings; if you don't clear it with an SSSS rating, you get a full refund!"

  "Eternal Tower SSSS level designated proxy—Asura!"

  "Proxy? More like a transcendent proxy!!"

  "......"

  Of course, there was a reason for their calmness.

  Due to the second level of the Eternal Tower being tainted by the Demon God, it took some time to purify, causing Asura's rewards for clearing it to be delayed.

  Everyone gathered, eagerly waiting for the server-wide rewards, while casually praising Asura.

  Yesterday's SSSS rating rewarded quite a few powerful limited-time buffs, including the game-breaking Guardian Angel buff!

  Their appetites were whetted, and their hearts were full of anticipation.

  What surprises would Asura bring today?

  ...

  Meanwhile, Ye Bai was also facing a choice.

  He stood on the wasteland, with the prompt from the Eternal Tower ringing in his ears.

  "Calculating clearance rating and rewards..."

  "The Eternal Blessing is in effect, automatically increasing your clearance rating by 1!"

  "Reward obtained: Thunder Fury Mage Elemental Sphere Mastery. Please choose the corresponding elemental type, no more than two."

  Several options appeared before Ye Bai: Wood, Water, Fire, Wind...

  According to the Eye of Insight's previous hints, after achieving 100% exploration and an SSS rating, Ye Bai could add mastery to one element for the Thunder Fury Mage.

  However, that was automatically assigned by the Eternal Tower, distributed randomly, without considering Ye Bai's preference!

  But clearing the SSSS level brought Ye Bai two benefits.

  1. He could freely choose the elemental type he wanted, allowing for better combinations.

  2. Ye Bai could add two elemental types instead of just one.

  The quality undoubtedly saw a massive improvement!

  "The choices are a bit limited, all basic elemental types."

  Ye Bai took out a mirror, aiming it at his handsome face.

  If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  "You want to admire your handsome visage again, huh? Alright, I admit you are indeed handsome."

  "Alright, alright, testing elemental affinity..."

  Since he had to choose new elemental types, Ye Bai naturally wanted to know which elements he was more compatible with!

  Only with higher elemental affinity could he better leverage his profession's strengths and avoid weaknesses, which was the right path.

  "Top five elemental affinities:

  Lightning: 200%

  Soul: 110%

  Fire: 95%

  Wind: 90%

  Water: 70%"

  According to the Eye of Insight's hints, Ye Bai's optimal choices should be Soul and Fire.

  Unfortunately, the Eternal Tower's choices didn't include the Soul option, so he had to reluctantly let it go.

  Ye Bai thought to himself,

  "The Soul affinity is as high as 110%, probably due to transmigration!"

  Excluding Soul, Ye Bai had three options before him: Wind, Fire, Water.

  "Water's healing, shielding, and sustainability are the best choices, but the affinity is only 70%, far less than Fire!"

  Ye Bai analyzed, "And Wind, Lightning, and Fire are compatible and complementary."

  Wind and Lightning, Lightning and Fire, Fire and Wind, Wind, Fire, and Lightning can all be combined in any order!

  If Ye Bai chose Water, Water and Lightning, Fire and Lightning were fine, but Water and Fire were incompatible, making coordination tricky.

  Having made up his mind, Ye Bai made his choice.

  "Confirm receiving Thunder Fury Mage Elemental Sphere Mastery: Wind and Fire?"

  "Confirm!"

  Two elemental spheres fell into Ye Bai's hands, and he used them immediately.

  "Career template evolution successful!"

  "Thunder Fury Mage (Wind, Fire, Lightning)

  Three-element spell skill effects +100%, three-element spell skill cooldown time -50%!"

  "Learned career skills Wind Fury and Ignite!"

  "Wind Fury (LV1): Enhances the next skill or attack, releasing twice in succession, buff lasts 6 seconds.

  During Wind Fury buff, Wind Fury cannot be used.

  Mana consumption: 300 points

  Cooldown time: 6S"

  Unlike Ready to Go, which doubles the effect, Wind Fury releases consecutively.

  The same Lightning Arrow, using Ready to Go doubles the damage, while Wind Fury stacking causes both damages to be reduced by magic resistance, resulting in overall lower damage!

  And just like a bug fix, Wind Fury can't be stacked, killing Ye Bai's idea of exploiting a glitch!

  "This note is simply underestimating me, am I, Ye Bai, someone who exploits glitches?"

  Ye Bai felt targeted by the Eternal Tower.

  Of course, Wind Fury is superior to Ready to Go in certain situations.

  For example, when casting Heavenly Thunder, under Wind Fury's enhancement, the first Heavenly Thunder can reduce the enemy's health below 30%, and the second can deal true damage directly!

  In such special situations, a single Wind Fury > a single Ready to Go!

  However...

  "The greatest advantage of Wind Fury should be saving me the time of stacking Ready to Go!"

  Ready to Go only affects Lightning skills.

  Ye Bai could completely follow the combo sequence of Wind Fury → Ready to Go *2 → Wind Fury... saving half the stacking time!

  Wind Fury: Some skills are born to be sidekicks, right?

  "Ignite (LV1): Releases flames to scorch the designated target, dealing (200+1.5*Intelligence) Fire damage over 5 seconds, with a severe injury effect, reducing the target's healing effect by 40%, and gaining true vision of the target.

  For every ten enemies Ignite kills, the severe injury effect increases by 1%.

  For every hundred enemies Ignite kills, the duration increases by 1S, and the damage increases proportionally.

  Mana consumption: 200 points

  Cooldown time: 20S"

  So far, the three career skills Ye Bai mastered: Heavenly Thunder, Wind Fury, and Ignite, all had exceptionally powerful effects!

  Heavenly Thunder provided burst damage, Wind Fury shortened the stacking time for Ready to Go, and also offered considerable burst and melee capability, while Ignite supplemented sustained damage and added a severe injury effect.

  The three skills each had their merits and were incredibly strong.

  After all, these were career skills from the SSS-level Thunder Fury Mage template!

  If even SSS-level career skills were weak, how would ordinary players even play?

  Meanwhile, the server-wide announcement sounded again.

  "Congratulations to player Asura for advancing to Thunder Fury Mage (Fire and Lightning)!"

  Ye Bai noticed that the server-wide announcement only mentioned Fire and Lightning, not Wind!

  "Because it's an extra option from the SSSS rating reward, it wasn't announced?"

  Ye Bai's eyes lit up, immediately realizing that this was highly beneficial to him!

  Now, the entire human race, and even the whole world, including the Abyssal Plane, received the news that Asura was now dual-wielding Fire and Lightning!

  Ye Bai secretly trained in Wind as a trump card.

  This was no longer about being impressive or not.

  This was directly cutting off the lifeline!

  Moreover, hiding the Wind element profession also added a layer of disguise to Ye Bai's true identity!

  Ye Bai could completely claim to be a mage specializing in Wind.

  This way, no one would suspect he was Asura, as the professions wouldn't match.

  The maneuvering space left for Ye Bai was vast, allowing him to advance and retreat freely, without being constrained.

  The Eternal Tower did a great service!

  Amidst the anticipation of the masses, the Eternal Tower announced the server-wide rewards for this SSSS-level advancement!

  "Player Asura SSSS-level cleared the second floor, rewarding the entire Eternal Tower human race with the buff Meticulous!"

  "Limited-time buff Comprehensive Enhancement, all Eternal Tower human attributes +20%, limited to 6 hours!"

  "Limited-time buff Swift as the Wind, all Eternal Tower human movement speed +30%, attack speed +15%, limited to 6 hours!"

  "Limited-time buff Farewell Weakness, after death, returning to Eternal Core City will not enter a weakened state, limited to 6 hours!"

  "Meticulous: Automatically gains 20% exploration when entering the Job Change Realm next time, with a higher chance of obtaining hidden and special professions upon settlement!"

  "The above buff durations only count within the Eternal Tower!"

  When the server-wide rewards were announced, the public channel, faction channel, and family channel all fell into dead silence!

  Everyone's eyes widened, staring fixedly at the announcement before them, eyes unblinking, even forgetting to breathe!

  Until... the first person started cheering: "Asura is awesome!!!"

  It was like firing the first celebratory cannon, igniting everyone's emotions, plunging the entire human world into a frenzy of celebration!

  Such powerful buff rewards were invaluable to the human race, benefiting everyone immensely, with their strength improving to varying degrees!

  Their faces beamed with happy smiles, firmly believing that everyone had a bright future!

  In all the major channels, thousands of words ultimately converged into one sentence:

  "Asura, you're awesome!!!"
