Tower of Truth, ninth floor.
Change class realm.
The power of the Master of the Wind, Lightning, and Fire Realms exceeded Mike’s expectations.
The main reason was… Mike had reset his skills too many times.
With the enhancement of [Lightning Phantom Form], both the realm master and Mike were immune to lightning damage.
This battle was a clash of wind and fire!
“Meteor Fire Rain!”
“Wind Fury!”
“Wind’s Reach!”
As [Wind’s Reach] was used repeatedly, each thrust covered an increasing distance, and the damage escalated!
The realm master was not to be outdone,
“Wind’s Reach!”
The Inhibition Orb on Mike trembled slightly, absorbing the incoming damage.
Any magical damage under ten million was blocked!
Both were stacking the damage of Wind’s Reach.
However, Mike had Wind Fury and [Wind Element Specialization] – 50% CD reduction.
His stacking speed was more than double that of the realm master!
“Swoosh—”
Their figures crossed paths once again,
The Inhibition Orb absorbed the damage, while the realm master’s health dropped slightly.
The battle raged on.
…
Wolf’s Den.
Maxen Stoneheart had just finished his own mission and was taking a break, glancing at the time.
“It’s 5:50. That kid Thor is still stuck on the ninth floor.”
Thinking it over, Maxen Stoneheart quickly realized,
“That guy is triple specialized in wind, fire, and lightning, definitely aiming for SSS-grade skills in each.
One elemental gate takes a day, so the ninth floor would take three days!”
Maxen Stoneheart casually picked up his phone and tapped into the headlines.
The top news caught his eye:
“No SSSS-grade conquest tonight, missing him.”
“Today’s definitely a no-go.”
Maxen Stoneheart stretched lazily and shouted towards the office door, “If Thor conquers SSSS-grade today, it’s on me!”
A stir erupted outside, with various cheers for Thor.
Maxen Stoneheart opened a beer, kicked back with his legs crossed, and relaxed,
“Thor, you better pull through, buddy!”
…
Tower of Truth, ninety-ninth floor.
Apollo sat cross-legged on a bluestone tile, with an hourglass in front of him.
The sand in the hourglass was running low, about 10 minutes left to flow.
Apollo glanced down the tower, calculated with his fingers, and slightly lifted his right hand.
The hourglass began to flow backward, stopping only when the sand inside had doubled, then resumed its normal flow.
After finishing, Apollo no longer looked at the hourglass or down the tower.
He stood up, walked to the edge of the tower, and stepped out onto the clouds.
The clouds drifted lazily, carrying Apollo’s voice.
“Boring.” ƒrēewebnovel.com
…
“Only ten minutes left before exceeding the time limit.”
Mike checked the time; it was 5:50.
A previously reset SSS-grade wind element skill had given the realm master a few extra lives.
Ten minutes was tight, and Mike wasn’t sure he could finish the job.
If the realm master pulled out another lifesaving skill, Mike would be out of time!
Having reset too many skills, Mike himself couldn’t remember what all he had.
[Countdown: 19 minutes 46 seconds]
“Did I miscalculate?”
Mike was startled. Where did those extra 10 minutes come from?
[You should thank that Supreme Being for the extra ten minutes!]
Although the Eye of Truth dared not mention the Supreme Being’s name, Mike knew very well.
Only one person could do such a thing—Apollo.
Mike couldn’t help but remark, “The Tower of Truth might as well be Apollo’s own playground.”
Mike held the Force of Nature in his left hand and the Thunderclap Hammer in his right, looking at the realm master with full fighting spirit.
“My time’s been extended, what about you?”
Realm master: I report, someone is cheating
Administrator [Apollo] has rejected your report and muted you for 365 days.
“Wind Fury!”
“Wind’s Reach!”
Realm master, meet your end!
…
5:59 AM and 30 seconds.
Maxen Stoneheart looked at the wall clock,
“Even if this kid conquers SSSS-grade, he won’t have a chance to mooch off me.”
“I must tell him tomorrow, let him know what he missed out on!”
Maxen Stoneheart could almost see Thor’s frustrated face.
That guy always felt like not getting a freebie was a loss.
Maxen Stoneheart thought gleefully,
“I need to set up a few more cameras to capture this moment!”
…
5:59 AM and 45 seconds.
“Wind’s Reach!”
A figure streaked across the void, unleashing a Wind Blade at breakneck speed, seemingly capable of slicing through time itself.
Boom—
Amidst the continuous thunderous roars, the realm master collapsed, his body beginning to disintegrate.
He was defeated!
Glancing at the time, Mike said coolly,
“Even without the extra time, I could have beaten you!”
…
5:59 AM and 50 seconds.
Above the clouds, a surprised “Huh?” suddenly sounded.
In the voice, there was a rare hint of astonishment.
Apollo raised his hand again, intending to reset the sands of the hourglass, but paused mid-air and then withdrew it.
“Self-inflicted boredom.”
The next second, a global announcement echoed through the Tower of Truth.
“Participant Thor achieves an SSSS-grade rating by conquering the ninth level, rewarding all human race buffs [Class Expert] within the Tower of Truth!”
“Timed buff [Wind’s Grace], enhancing human race wind element skill effects by 25% within the Tower of Truth, lasting 6 hours!”
“Timed buff [Lightning’s Roar], enhancing human race lightning skill effects by 50% within the Tower of Truth, lasting 6 hours!”
“Timed buff [Fire’s Delight], enhancing human race fire element skill effects by 25% within the Tower of Truth, lasting 6 hours!”
“[Class Expert]: Each time you enter a change class realm, automatically gain a 15% progress.”
The long-awaited SSSS-grade rating, it’s here!
Thor did not disappoint!
Cheers drowned out the entire Wolf’s Den, including Maxen Stoneheart.
“Holy smokes, he actually did it?!”
He conquered three change class realms in just two days?
And all at the highest SSSS-grade!
Maxen Stoneheart genuinely felt happy for Thor, cheering along with the crowd.
At the same time, he felt relieved.
“No more time, even if that guy achieves an SSSS-grade, he can’t…”
Just as Maxen Stoneheart thought this, someone in the crowd exclaimed, interrupting his thoughts.
“It’s six o’clock!”
“My watch is broken, it’s six o’clock?!”
“No forced exit! I’m still in the Tower of Truth!!”
“What’s going on, did Thor conquer too many times?”
“…”
Staying in the Tower of Truth past six o’clock,
For everyone, it was a first!
Amidst his excitement, Maxen Stoneheart had an ominous premonition.
That guy just conquered and surely needed some time to sort out his gains; he wouldn’t return to Wolf’s Den so soon, right?
With the extra time, no one was in a rush to venture into the Tower of Truth; after all, they didn’t know how long it would last, better to use it to celebrate.
Cheers for Thor!
Countless Lone Wolves flooded into Wolf’s Den, joining the revelry!
In the crowd, a low-key Star Lone Wolf made his way through and squeezed up to the bar.
Nyx Valoria handed over a chilled beer, kindly reminding,
“Sir, Maxen Stoneheart said earlier tonight, if Thor achieves an SSSS-grade, he’s picking up the tab.”
Thump—
A storage ring was slammed onto the table by Mike, oozing dominance.
Nyx Valoria, ever so understanding, asked, “5000 single meals?”
“No, fill it with booze.”
“How much?”
Holding the oversized storage ring, Nyx Valoria was momentarily baffled.
Mike lifted the beer and downed it in one go, naturally uttering three words,
“Pack it full.”
