Ninth Floor of the Eternal Tower.

  Wind Element Job Change Realm.

  "Rage!"

  "Wind Slash!"

  Two streaks of light flashed, easily taking down a giant wind elemental wolf.

  A lower-tier wind elemental core dropped, caught by the shadow of the Hellhound, and brought back to Ye Bai's backpack.

  Finally, the dog acted like a dog, and Ye Bai finally did something worthwhile.

  With Nature's Force in his left hand and the King Sword in his right, Ye Bai unleashed a massacre among the wind elemental monsters.

  For a moment, it was hard to tell who the real monster was.

  As a wind element job change realm, this place prohibited the use of non-wind-related skills.

  Skills like Ready to Go, Heavenly Thunder, and Ignite were all banned.

  Fortunately, Ye Bai had plenty of trump cards to handle various situations.

  At level 60, Ye Bai's attribute panel was absolutely top-notch, far surpassing his peers.

  Even with basic attacks, Ye Bai could easily handle these monsters.

  "In over half an hour, I've collected over a thousand lower-tier cores and more than a hundred mid-tier cores."

  Ye Bai looked towards the center of the realm, where something resembling a trophy floated in the air—it was the Skill Melter.

  By placing elemental cores into it, skills could be refined.

  "The melter has a capacity limit. Once a certain number of elemental cores are placed, a skill is automatically generated.

  It can also be reset infinitely, with each reset costing half, while increasing the melter's elemental capacity limit!

  In other words, resetting is essentially a form of refinement.

  To create an SSS Rank skill, numerous resets are required!"

  [An SSS Rank skill requires at least 18 resets to refresh]

  The further you go with resetting skills, the stronger the skills become, but the difficulty also increases!

  Ye Bai approached the trophy, grabbed a handful of elemental cores, and threw them in.

  After consuming the elemental cores, the trophy emitted a faint cyan glow.

  "Generated skill [Wind Howl], D Rank, learn?"

  "No, reset!"

  "Generated skill [Chaotic Wind Bind], C Rank, learn?"

  "Reset!"

  "...."

  "Reset!"

  After four or five consecutive resets, Ye Bai exhausted his accumulated elemental cores.

  The latest skill generated had already reached A Rank!

  For ordinary players, there was still a significant gap to the SSS Rank skill Ye Bai desired.

  The good news was that as the battle continued, the monsters' strength also increased.

  From being able to kill them with two strikes, it now took three.

  The dropped elemental cores, however, had significantly improved in grade!

  "Generated skill [Chaotic Wind Burial], A Rank, learn?"

  "Generated skill [Hurricane Crossing], S Rank, learn?"

  "....."

  After continuous resets,

  The trophy emitted a rich cyan glow, almost overflowing!

  "Generated skill [Dimensional Hurricane], SSS Rank, learn?"

  After 18 resets, Ye Bai finally refreshed an SSS Rank skill!

  "It took over three hours to get an SSS Rank skill, it wasn't easy."

  The difficulty of clearing the ninth floor was greater than Ye Bai had anticipated!

  The Eternal Tower only had six hours of activity time each day, which was extremely precious.

  If Ye Bai couldn't create a suitable skill in the wind element job change realm within six hours,

  The next time he entered the wind element job change realm, all progress would reset, starting over!

  Many human powerhouses were stuck at a certain level, unable to advance for life, simply because there wasn't enough time!

  Human potential is always limited.

  Before Asura appeared, even if you adjusted your state to the extreme and perfected every step of the strategy, some obstacles were still insurmountable!

  Now, Ye Bai faced the same problem—time was running out!

  "It took 42 minutes on the eighth floor, and 3 hours and 7 minutes to reset 18 times to refresh an SSS Rank skill."

  Before entering the Eternal Tower, Ye Bai had also wasted a few minutes.

  [Countdown: 2 hours 3 minutes 8 seconds]

  A faint red countdown appeared in the bottom right of Ye Bai's vision.

  Based on the current situation, Ye Bai quickly adjusted his target expectations,

  "First, clear the wind element job change realm.

  Leave the lightning and fire element job change realms for tomorrow!"

  As long as the wind element job change realm was cleared, progress would be saved and not reset.

  If he couldn't refresh a suitable SSS Rank skill today, Ye Bai would have to waste today's opportunity and come back tomorrow.

  But time was tight, and a slow step would lead to further delays.

  Ye Bai didn't know when the brewing storm in the darkness would appear, so he had to enhance his strength as much as possible before then.

  Clarifying the current situation, Ye Bai focused his attention on the newly created SSS Rank skill.

  "Dimensional Hurricane?"

  Ye Bai glanced at the skill description and immediately chose to reset.

  [Dimensional Hurricane], as a wind element skill, could summon a terrifying hurricane after chanting, tearing everything apart and dealing massive damage.

  For any wind mage, this was a god-tier skill that was hard to come by.

  But for Ye Bai, its value was actually not significant.

  In terms of burst damage, Ye Bai had [Ready to Go] and [Heavenly Thunder].

  After that, he could add a lightning element area damage, covering both single and group damage.

  Due to the growth potential of [Heavenly Thunder],

  Even when facing groups of enemies, Ye Bai preferred to use Heavenly Thunder to target them one by one.

  The most useless aspect of [Dimensional Hurricane] for Ye Bai was its slightly long chanting time!

  Its burst was insufficient, and its flaws were too fatal, so it had to be reset.

  After resetting [Dimensional Hurricane], Ye Bai immediately plunged into a new battle.

  After forty-five minutes of continuous fighting, Ye Bai had collected a basket full of high-tier wind elemental cores!

  Returning to the melter, Ye Bai didn't waste a second and began refining skills!

  As the highest rank of skills, every skill Ye Bai created after SSS Rank was an SSS Rank skill!

  "Generated skill [Wind of Revival], learn?"

  "Reset!"

  "Generated skill [Wind Shadows], learn?"

  "Reset!"

  "....."

  None of the SSS Rank skills met Ye Bai's needs.

  There were too many support and healing skills, which Ye Bai directly ignored.

  And the damage skills were mostly long-chanting, too impractical.

  After resetting more than ten times, Ye Bai still hadn't found a skill that met his requirements.

  "No wonder the Wind Battle Mage path is so difficult..."

  Being able to reset wind element skills to SSS Rank was already an extraordinary feat for Ye Bai.

  On the basis of SSS Rank, being able to reset more than ten times,

  Throughout history, he was probably the only wind mage who could do it!

  "If I choose high burst damage with long chanting, that would be a traditional wind mage, and traditional wind mages don't lack forbidden-level damage skills!

  But chanting prevents movement, sacrificing the most important mobility of the Wind Battle Mage."

  Ye Bai analyzed,

  "At the same time, these SSS Rank skills have a fatal flaw, they consume too much mana!"

  Ye Bai's attribute panel was already top-notch for his level.

  Even so, taking [Dimensional Hurricane] as an example,

  Without considering mana recovery, Ye Bai could only cast it twice before his mana bar was depleted.

  If Ye Bai was like this, other wind mages could forget about it!

  "If a skill loses its universality and can only be mastered by a few, its significance to the entire genre is not great."

  Why was [Wind Slash] so popular in the market?

  Because [Wind Slash] had strong universality!

  Assassins and warriors could both learn it, and even some mages who didn't stick to their roles learned it.

  The SSS Rank skill Ye Bai wanted was one that could serve as the core skill of the 'Wind Battle Mage' genre, filling the damage gap!

  In other words, if Ye Bai truly created such a skill,

  He would be opening up a new world for the entire 'Wind Battle Mage' genre!

  It wasn't impossible for it to become mainstream for wind mages in the future!

  "Continue resetting!"

  Ye Bai glanced at the countdown, with just over an hour left.

  He refused to believe he couldn't reset a suitable skill today!

  ...

  Swish—

  The sword light flashed, and the Wind Elemental Emperor fell to the ground, an elemental emperor core lying quietly on the ground.

  "The ninth one."

  Ye Bai had reached his limit in the wind element dungeon.

  One elemental emperor core could reset a skill once, and Ye Bai had nine more reset opportunities!

  [Countdown: 5 minutes]

  Ye Bai rushed to the melting trophy, threw in an elemental emperor core.

  "Generated skill [Gentle Breeze], learn?"

  "Reset!"

  "Reset!"

  "......"

  After six consecutive resets, Ye Bai still hadn't obtained the skill he wanted!

  "Three chances left...."

  There was only 1 minute and 30 seconds left, and Ye Bai had no chance to continue hunting Wind Elemental Emperors.

  "Generated skill [Wind Without Bounds], learn?"

  "[Wind Without Bounds]: Deals [2000+1.5*Intelligence+5*past 10 seconds of movement distance (meters)] wind elemental damage to the enemy.

  While dealing damage, the caster transforms into a breeze, able to dash any distance, with the maximum distance being 20% of the damage dealt (meters).

  Mana Consumption: 400 points

  Cooldown: 10 seconds"

  Seeing [Wind Without Bounds], Ye Bai's spirits lifted, sweeping away the previous fatigue.

  Five hours of continuous fighting and endless resetting were all worth it at this moment!

  "This is it!"

  This was the core skill he pursued for the [Wind Battle Mage]!

  "Learn!"

  "Learned skill [Wind Without Bounds] successfully!"

  "Thunder Fury Mage Wind Element Job Change Realm, cleared!"
