Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

[Sword of Judgment]: Your sword energy is infused with the power of judgment, dealing 14,000 points of holy damage to all enemies within a 50-meter radius, with a 60% chance to cause a stun effect. Cooldown: 1 second.

Qin Xian, clad in armor, wielded his longsword, radiating a terrifying aura. Each slash carried a destructive force capable of leveling anything in its path. This was the fearsome power of an SSS-level class.

The Sword of Judgment skill, which would typically be a major cooldown ability for other professions with a minimum of a 3-hour cooldown, was merely a filler skill for Qin Xian.

One after another, Void monsters fell beneath Qin Xian’s blade. Even elite monsters couldn’t last more than three seconds in front of him.

[God-Slayer Growth]: You have slain an elite Void monster and gained 15 additional attribute points.

…..

In just a few hours, Qin Xian had hunted down 14 elite Void monsters, granting him 210 extra attribute points! Even better, these 210 points could be further enhanced by his secret source, bringing the total up to 315 points, even in his Oracle Knight form.

The only downside was that these 315 attribute points were randomly allocated. But… who cares when the rewards were this substantial!?

If he could do this within the Shattered Heaven dungeon itself… Qin Xian couldn’t even imagine the possibilities.

—

As time passed, the mist slowly dissipated. 

The prelude mission to Shattered Heaven had been completed, and most of the Void monsters had been hunted down. 

Though this was a large-scale mission with tens of thousands of Void creatures—many around level 25, and even several elites—let’s not forget that tens of thousands of professionals had gathered in the Hengjiang region.

There were far too many people and not enough monsters…

“Haha, I killed 13 Void monsters!” someone exclaimed excitedly, as a buff appeared on his status bar.

[Power of the Crystal Core]: Your primary attributes have increased by 6%, and your health and mana regeneration rate has increased by 13%.

A middle-aged man with a scarred face laughed heartily. “I’ve waited 20 years for the Shattered Heaven dungeon! This time, I’ll be the top scorer and claim the number one spot!” 

His face was filled with confidence, even a hint of arrogance. 

[Power of the Crystal Core]: Your primary attributes have increased by 20%, and your health and mana regeneration rate has increased by 40%.

This meant that the man had single-handedly slain 40 Void monsters!

The middle-aged man’s name was Zhao Xiang, a level 39 A-grade Phoenix Warrior. When the crowd heard his words, their expressions turned to shock.

Zhao Xiang had purposefully kept his level at 39 for 20 years, all in preparation for the Shattered Heaven dungeon!

With a smile on his face, Zhao Xiang stood tall. He was once the leader of a guild and had been preparing for Shattered Heaven all these years. With his profession and the support of his guild, he could have easily leveled up to 45 or higher.

But instead, he kept his level at 39, painstakingly collecting a set of top-tier level 39 gear and maxing out all his level 30 skills. He had invested all his resources into increasing his extra attribute points within the limits of his level.

In the Shattered Heaven dungeon, where the entry level was limited to 15 to 40, Zhao Xiang was undoubtedly one of the most formidable combatants.

Zhao Xiang’s face was resolute. He knew that while his profession was decent, it wasn’t an S-rank rare class, and its potential capped out at around level 40. At best, he could become a city lord.

But Zhao Xiang wasn’t satisfied with that. He wanted to go further, climb higher! That’s why he chose to cap his level, waiting for the Shattered Heaven dungeon.

With the blessings of the ancient gods from Shattered Heaven, he could break past his limits!

It was a gamble. If Shattered Heaven never appeared, he might have wasted his life and he had waited 20 years for this moment.

Over these 20 years, Zhao Xiang had been meticulously preparing. He sold his guild’s assets, collected top-tier level 39 gear and skills, and finally, the opportunity had come!

In fact, Zhao Xiang wasn’t alone in this strategy. In many ways, the Shattered Heaven dungeon was akin to a second college entrance exam in life.
