66: Change job to Fusion Mage and gain a lot of rewards

As Ye Xiao collected all three Elemental Essences.

At this point, a submit option appeared for his quest.

Ye Xiao naturally didn't hesitate and submitted it immediately.

【Ding! Congratulations on completing the quest 'Collection of Elemental Essence'. You now meet the requirements to become a Fusion Mage. Your class advancement will begin shortly.】

As the message popped up, an invisible energy burst forth from Ye Xiao's body, making him feel an unprecedented power.

Suddenly, Ye Xiao's consciousness seemed to enter another dimension. Before his eyes, endless darkness appeared, seemingly the end of the entire universe.

Within the darkness, countless stars twinkled, each representing a mysterious power.

Ye Xiao felt as if he had merged into this darkness, becoming one with it.

Then, a blazing fire suddenly rose within the darkness. The flames burned fiercely, releasing scorching heat and infinite energy.

Within the flames, Ye Xiao felt a searing power, as if it could burn away all obstacles, allowing him to be reborn in fire.

Afterward, a gentle breeze swept by, the wind whistling with rustling sounds. Hidden within the wind and sand were endless mysteries and powers.

Within the wind, Ye Xiao felt a light and agile power, as if he could traverse thousands of mountains and rivers, flying freely across the sky.

The three Elemental Essences—darkness, fire, and wind—intertwined within Ye Xiao's body, merging into a powerful and mysterious force.

His body felt as if it surged with endless energy, every inch of his skin filled with a rush of power.

Finally, Ye Xiao's consciousness returned.

Within his body, three pure elements intertwined, converging into a three-colored energy orb.

【Ding! You have gained three additional Fusion Skill Bars.】

【Ding! For every 1 level the Fusion Mage gains, Agility increases by an additional 1 point, Intelligence by an additional 2 points, and Free Attribute Points by an additional 3 points.】

【Ding! Data correction: You have received a 90-point Agility correction, a 180-point Intelligence correction, and a 270-point Free Attribute Point correction.】

A series of messages popped up.

The joy on Ye Xiao's face grew wider and wider.

He hadn't expected to gain so many benefits from advancing to Fusion Mage.

Not to mention the Fusion Mage's unique ability, Skill Fusion.

Just the additional 6 attribute points provided by the Fusion Mage per level alone filled Ye Xiao with pleasant surprise.

Even more, after the class advancement, he also received a data correction, applying all the extra attribute points from his previous 90 levels to Ye Xiao at once.

Ye Xiao eagerly opened his information panel.

He allocated the unexpectedly gained 270 Free Attribute Points to Agility.

After advancing to Fusion Mage, his attribute points increased by 540 through correction.

The total points reached 8145, which was equivalent to the bare attributes of a level 216 Professional.

If equipment was included, it would be comparable to a 5th-tier Professional.

Of course, if his Talent and various other enhancement effects were also taken into account...

Even a level 200 Professional would have to think carefully before trying to deal with the current Ye Xiao.

Looking at his splendid level 90 panel, Ye Xiao felt incredibly pleased.

With his current attributes, staying online for several months would not be an issue.

Coupled with the Void Phantom and Divinity Speed skills, even if he had to log off and return to the real world, he would be able to calmly deal with the pursuit of those cunning old foxes from the Eight Great Families.

Thinking that his safety was almost maximally guaranteed, Ye Xiao's body, which had been slightly tense these past few days, relaxed a little.

After reviewing his attribute panel, Ye Xiao began to examine his newly acquired abilities.

Earlier, due to Jiang Wei's appearance and the dense information from the recent class advancement, he hadn't had time to check his new abilities.

First up was Dark Rebirth, provided by the Dark Element Essence.

【Dark Rebirth: Absorb the corpses of Dark-type monsters, create illustrations of them, then resummon them to serve you. The resummoned monsters can level up through combat. Summoning requires collecting the grievances of the deceased.】

“Hiss!”

He hadn't had time to check this ability before.

At this moment, he was truly shocked by the effect of this ability.

It was actually a Summoner-like ability.

Now, Ye Xiao finally understood.

It turned out that this was the ability provided by the Dark Element Essence.

It allowed Jiang Wei to acquire the means to cultivate dark monsters.

He also understood why Jiang Wei would trade with the Skeleton King and plunder the lives of a large number of new Professionals.

It had to be said, the effect of this Dark Rebirth ability was truly overbearing and vicious.

However, Ye Xiao liked it very much.

As the saying goes, if one isn't ruthless, one can't stand firm.

Hadn't those cunning old foxes from the Eight Great Families, to ensure their influence remained unchallenged, been frantically wooing and suppressing all kinds of Professionals who had a chance to rise over the past few decades?

Now, they were openly trying to make a move against him.

Since that was the case, Ye Xiao was determined to find a way to reciprocate.

And this Dark Rebirth was simply his perfect partner for turning waste into value.

Thinking about how Jiang Wei was able to control three Dark-type Bosses earlier, Ye Xiao's heart immediately became incredibly fervent.

Finally, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to examine the other two Wind-type abilities.

There was no need to explain Storm Rush; Ye Xiao had already discovered that the abilities gained from each type of Elemental Essence, apart from having different effects, followed a similar pattern.

With this Storm Rush, it meant that as long as Ye Xiao cast Fireball or Dark Night Soul Erosion once, his skill projectile speed would increase tenfold.

Coupled with the projectile speed enhancement effect previously refined by the Smelting Furnace...

Ye Xiao calculated with Fireball.

Now, the speed of his Fireball could appear on any target within three hundred meters almost instantly.

At such a speed, within three hundred meters, it could achieve a hundred percent hit rate, making it virtually impossible to guard against.

This Storm Rush instantly raised Ye Xiao's damage floor infinitely high.

Most directly, if Ye Xiao were to face the sleeping Skeleton King again, Ye Xiao believed he wouldn't even need to reposition himself; the Skeleton King would simply be unable to dodge.

After reviewing the effect of Storm Rush, Ye Xiao finally turned his gaze to Blessing of Wind.

This ability was somewhat similar to the previous Smelting Furnace.

Both were used to enhance equipment effects.

With the experience from Smelting Furnace, Ye Xiao prepared to start blessing his equipment.

However, just at this moment...

Ye Xiao felt the Red Moon Space fluctuate before his eyes.

So, he had no choice but to temporarily stop what he was doing.

At the same time, the red moon in the sky suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Immediately afterward, a red moon eye appeared in front of Ye Xiao.

The eyeball was as large as Ye Xiao's head.

As soon as it appeared, it stared directly at Ye Xiao, a strange glint emanating from its gaze.

Ye Xiao's heart was vigilant about this sudden change.

Although the red moon had brought him many benefits, this did not allow Ye Xiao to let down his guard.

However, just then...

The red moon eye actually spoke.

“Crimson Moon Summoner, I sense that you have become a Fusion Mage, and are now qualified to receive relevant information from me.”

“So now, what do you wish to know?”
