149: Chapter 149 The Sixth Day: The Resonance of Annihilation Puts the Entire City in Danger!

Anomalies appeared in the sky one after another.

News arrived from elsewhere that the various powerhouses of Water Blue Planet who had reached the Peak of their Rank had fallen into a deep sleep.

The Rank Breakthrough limit had been reached three times cumulatively.

This caused Ming Kong, who had previously only given Zhang Jian some attention, to feel a degree of unease that had reached an exaggerated level.

He even felt that every day from then on would be a torment.

According to this trend, despite the monster Ranks being significantly higher than Zhang Jian and the others...

After they all rose to Level 20, the Ranks of the appearing monsters also increased, reaching Level 35.

On the final day, there would even be epic-grade monsters.

But Ming Kong didn't believe at all that such powerful monsters could block the path of Zhang Jian and his group.

This job change quest, which he had gone to great lengths to upgrade, had instead become nourishment for Zhang Jian and the others to grind monsters for Ranks and increase their strength.

He began to fully utilize the treasures he had brought from his clan.

First.

He used a Formation Plate to envelop the entire wilderness surrounding Ta City.

Then, he had his clansmen who had operated here for many years abandon their physical bodies and use their Soul forms to find suitable monster bodies to undergo Fusion with.

This was equivalent to replacing the original siege monsters in the wilderness with themselves.

Day six.

As per his habit, Zhang Jian rushed to the very front, only to discover that something was wrong.

Several monsters he had killed actually reappeared in the same spot.

Mere Leader-class monsters could actually resurrect?

Fortunately, his single-target attack power was high enough now.

Even if the opponent had such a miraculous ability, all it took was one more sword strike.

Wave after wave followed.

From time to time, strange things occurred.

Some elite-grade monsters possessed high-priority skills that could reduce the speed of Zhang Jian's health recovery.

Some excellence-grade BOSSes possessed as many as three crowd-control skills, constantly suppressing him.

He even felt that the difficulty of the last few waves of monsters was no less intense than those in a Hell-level Dungeon.

It was only because the current strength of Wang Fei and the others had also grown significantly.

Whether in terms of support, healing, or even crowd control, they were all able to assist Zhang Jian.

When he was unable to move, they could provide some degree of obstruction against the monsters on the field.

On the contrary, the strength of Ye Xun and the others was falling a bit behind, leading to many close calls.

Wang Dong, who had the lowest defense, was even caught off guard and severely injured by three disguised monsters.

If he hadn't been within the team's range where Wei Donglai's [Song of Flame] was constantly active, timely replenishing his health, Wang Dong might have even lost his life on the spot.

The others weren't actually faring much better.

Although the base experience points increased as the monster Ranks rose...

Even Ye Xun, whose Rank was as high as Level 39, could gain corresponding bonus experience for fighting higher-level enemies under Wang Fei's new team configuration.

The experience values on the status panels of the couple, Wang Hongming and Ming Li, were growing continuously.

However, their own strength was still completely insufficient to withstand such monster intensity.

During the final wave, they did not rush to the front lines.

Instead, they stayed near the city walls to hold down the rear.

Of course.

"Holding down the rear" was just Zhang Jian's way of putting it.

They also knew they didn't have that ability; he only said it to make them feel better.

But the more he did this, the more useless they felt.

After the monster siege for the day ended, the group gathered together.

They wanted to analyze what other ways they could help this large team.

Meanwhile, in the city...

Among the remaining people...

Aside from Hai Mengen and his companion having relatively high Ranks...

Wei Baichuan and Yan Tieshan were at the strength of Level 55 and Level 58 of the Second Job Change, respectively.

Below them...

Was President Li Husheng at Level 42 of the Second Job Change.

And three disciples of Hai Mengen's duo, who had just completed their Second Job Change and reached Level 40.

Aside from these eight people...

The rest staying in Ta City were basically below the Second Job Change level.

From the beginning, they had placed great trust in Zhang Jian and his group.

To becoming worried as they saw the siege monsters constantly growing stronger.

To then being shocked by the terrifying combat power of Zhang Jian's four-person squad.

Now, they began to fret.

Seeing that the siege battle was about to end, which would also signify the completion of this large-scale quest.

Those who had not left Ta City in time and chose to fight side-by-side with Zhang Jian, sharing life and death...

Were also about to receive the quest rewards, which included the direct completion of the Second Job Change quest.

But among them, some had reached Level 35 and were not far off.

There were also Professionals who were only at Level 30 and hadn't even learned the skills for their current level stage.

And even a few of this year's freshmen who stayed behind, gritting their teeth out of admiration for Zhang Jian's prestige.

Now they faced a problem.

They were too far from Level 39.

Never mind that the siege battle would end in one day; even if they were given another month or even a year...

It would be difficult to quickly level up to the corresponding Rank and complete the Second Job Change as a result.

If they waited until the siege ended tomorrow and the quest rewards were calculated...

But were unable to enjoy the benefits because their Ranks were too low...

Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Over the past few days...

They had already thought about this issue.

Professionals of the same Rank formed suitable teams to grind Dungeons in Ta City that matched their levels.

Even though their strength had improved significantly thanks to the various weapons and equipment Zhang Jian's group harvested from the battlefield...

And even high-quality weapons, equipment, and accessories that Zhang Jian crafted for them using their own recipes when he had time...

It was still a drop in the bucket compared to the final goal.

They were very anxious.

On the other hand, Ming Kong was even more anxious.

He hadn't expected...

That even after sacrificing the bodies of human Professionals that hundreds of his clansmen had painstakingly fused with over the years, he still couldn't do anything to Zhang Jian.

Instead, because his clansmen had fused with the monsters and improved their quality...

They had dropped several legendary rank skill books and rare recipes for Zhang Jian.

Adding even more to his gains.

This infuriated Ming Kong.

He completely lost his temper!

He decided to take the field himself on the seventh day.

But before that, he used one of the few remaining mythical level items he had on hand.

The dark extinction resonance tower!

This was a tower-shaped item with a dark purple spire.

After Ming Kong summoned it, it suspended in mid-air, continuously firing black shockwaves down toward Ta City.

This attack was called the Erosion Domain.

It caused the Professionals within the range of Ta City to continuously suffer minor damage.

Meanwhile, the city walls of Ta City were gradually being eroded, reducing the durability of the Materials.

When Zhang Jian led his team to attack...

He discovered that this [dark extinction resonance tower] also possessed a rare damage reflection effect.

With one sword strike, he lost hundreds of thousands of health points and was nearly severely injured.

The others' attacks weren't as strong as Zhang Jian's, but they were also hit by the recoil and suffered minor injuries.

Since attacking failed, they could only defend.

The method of dealing with this object, the way to resist it, was also very rare.

Only by consuming experience points could they maintain the sturdiness of the city walls and counter the continuous negative status effects from being attacked.

It cost nearly 10 million experience points per minute to offset the damage caused by the [dark extinction resonance tower].

And this total experience could be shared among everyone.

At this moment...

Hai Mengen and Yun Haiyi stepped forward.

As Professionals over Level 70, the experience required for each level-up was in the hundreds of millions.

Each had at least over 200 million experience points on their status panels, and they were confident they could hold out for a while.

However, after they had held out for nearly an hour using their surplus experience...

They suddenly discovered...

That if they continued to consume experience, their Ranks would directly decrease.

Just as Zhang Jian was about to take over, an earth-shattering sound came from outside.

The final day of the monster siege had arrived!
