[Ding, World Announcement:]

[Congratulations to the Dragon Kingdom professional [Shattering the Darkness with Thunder] for achieving an SSS-level rating in the Nine-Star Difficulty Professional Promotion Quest!]

...

I refreshed the world announcement six times in a row.

All professionals received the news, sparking a heated discussion around the world.

Dragon Kingdom Professionals Forum.

"A nine-star difficulty professional advancement quest? That's outrageous!"

"I wonder which level of professional advancement mission it is. The world announcement didn't make it clear. Could it be that some king-level expert has advanced to the mythical level?"

"Are you kidding me? How could it possibly be a nine-star difficulty Mythic Profession Advancement Quest! Even for the strongest swordsman in the Dragon Kingdom, the Mythic Profession Advancement Quest shouldn't be higher than five stars!"

"Not only was it a nine-star difficulty professional advancement quest, but it was also completed with an SSS rating! It's absolutely terrifying!"

"Shattering the darkness with lightning? Could it be Zhou Yi, the top genius of Xingcheng No. 1 High School? I remember he's a lightning mage!"

...

Korean Professionals Forum.

"This is absolutely a genius from our Korea! How could he end up in China? We must bring him back right away!"

"I agree with the comment above. Only the superior bloodline of our South Korean nation can produce geniuses of this caliber!"

...

Free Country Professionals Forum.

"To actually complete a nine-star difficulty professional advancement mission with an SSS rating? Has the Dragon Kingdom produced another such extraordinary figure? It seems there's another variable in the next national destiny battlefield!"

"We should win over [the one who shatters the darkness with thunder] and bring him into our free nation so he can enjoy the air of freedom."

...

Ye Chen was unaware that the world announcement he triggered had sparked heated discussions on professional forums in various countries.

He was currently checking the task completion rewards on the log panel.

[Fearless warrior! Congratulations on completing the Bronze Class advancement quest—Clearing the Abyss Fragment Dungeon!]

[The following are your personal rewards for completing the task!]

[Reward 1: SSS-level talent, Divine Fate!]

[Reward 2: Divine Shield, a class-exclusive skill!]

When Ye Chen saw the reward for completing the mission, he could hardly believe it.

It turned out to be an SSS-level professional talent and a profession-specific skill.

Even legendary professionals don't necessarily possess SSS-level professional talents, yet Ye Chen possesses two at the same time, which is simply outrageous.

Similarly, Ye Chen had never heard of anyone being able to obtain additional profession-specific skills.

The reason why a profession-specific skill is called "professional" is that other professions cannot obtain it at all, and after awakening, one can only be obtained with each promotion in profession rank.

All of this has now shattered Ye Chen's previous understanding.

As expected of a nine-star difficulty professional advancement mission, the rewards are simply terrifying!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't wait to open the attribute panel and check his newly acquired SSS-level professional talent.

[Divine Fate (SSS): You possess the ethereal Divine Fate, which grants you immunity to negative status effects such as curses, charm, poison, slowing, freezing, and burning; furthermore, no one can see through your information or predict your destiny.]

Ye Chen was overjoyed, even though the divine destiny could not directly enhance his combat power.

However, he is immune to most of the negative effects, and no one can see through his true nature or predict his fate anymore.

Ye Chen knew of a profession called astrologer, who could predict other people's fates, scheme against them, and kill them without them even realizing it.

After possessing the destiny of a god, no one could perceive Ye Chen's fate anymore.

Even if a mythical-level expert stood in front of Ye Chen, they would not be able to detect any information about him unless Ye Chen made it public.

This greatly increased Ye Chen's sense of security.

After checking the effects of the class talents, Ye Chen quickly checked the effects of the class-exclusive skill, Divine Shield.

【Divine Shield (Level 1): Active skill. Uses divine power to create a shield that can withstand damage equal to 20 times your strength. Costs 200 mana. Cooldown: 30 seconds.】

"This is like sending charcoal in snowy weather!"

Looking at the skill effect of the Divine Shield, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

A level 1 Divine Shield can withstand damage equal to 20 times the Strength. Based on Ye Chen's current Strength, this is enough to withstand hundreds of thousands of damage.

Moreover, it could be triggered once every 30 seconds, which made Ye Chen extremely happy.

His biggest weakness was his lack of survival skills, and this has now been made up for!

Once the skill level of God's Shield is increased, the strength attribute will easily be hundreds of times higher, and I'm afraid that even if I stand there and let people hit me, they won't be able to break the shield.

Ye Chen felt that he was going further and further down the path of becoming inhuman.

In the future, the strength attribute will not only enhance Ye Chen's output ability, but also his survivability.

Imagine being able to withstand hundreds of millions of damage with a single shield in the future, and having your skill cooldown ready again before the shield is even broken by the enemy.

Any enemy would have a major headache if they encountered a class like Ye Chen who is both tanky and deals high damage!

After imagining the future, Ye Chen was pulled back to reality. The cracks in the sky above the secret realm were getting bigger and bigger, and he had to get out of there as soon as possible.

Ye Chen stepped directly into the spatial portal not far ahead!

Then another dizzying sensation struck.

Whoosh!

Ye Chen reappeared in the living room of his home.

Although only a little over an hour had passed, Ye Chen's foundation had greatly improved.

"Next is advancing to the Bronze Class!"

Ye Chen looked at the completed tasks on his task panel and thought to himself.

There are only three requirements to be promoted to Bronze Class. The first is to complete the Bronze Class promotion task.

The second requirement is that your level reaches 30 and you have enough experience points to level up to 31.

The last one consumes a bronze-level advancement orb.

Ye Chen has now completed the first and second requirements. He only needs to go to the official Dragon Kingdom exchange to purchase a Bronze-level Advancement Orb to immediately become a Bronze-level professional.

With that in mind, Ye Chen immediately went out, preparing to head to the Dragon Kingdom's official exchange in Lin City, and also to sell some of his unused gains to the exchange.

Ye Chen went downstairs, hailed a car, and soon arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Kingdom's official exchange.

Step into the official exchange of the Dragon Kingdom.

Ye Chen randomly found an empty room and began the identity verification process.

[Initiating identity verification.]

[Authentication successful. Ye Chen, citizen of China.]

[Use of the official Dragon Kingdom exchange is permitted.]

[Access Level: Iron]
