The Asura Class? Not Even a Dog Would Want It!

[Congratulations on killing [Asura White Tiger]. Gained 1 year of lifespan and 100 EXP.]

[Congratulations to player [Return to Zero] on clearing the Z-rank dungeon [Hell-Level Class Change Trial] in 1 minute. Rating being calculated...]

[Calculation complete. Dungeon rating: ZZZ. Rewards obtained: Asura Blade (AZ), Asura Class Change Scroll (BA).]

[Players will be forcibly ejected from the dungeon in ten seconds. Please take note.]

Since this trial dungeon was only supposed to be accessible at level ten, it logically shouldn't have awarded any EXP.

Yet the system had actually given him a hundred EXP?

Seriously, he could cry!

Lin Yi looked at the long blade in his hand and grinned.

[Asura Blade]

Category: Long blade

Grade: AZ

Effect: Combat power +1,500,000, attack speed +2 attacks/s. Attacks can trigger Asura One Slash.

Asura One Slash (passive): When the player kills a monster with a normal attack, a one-hit kill grants one stack, up to a maximum of 9,999 stacks! (Stacks reset to zero after 30 seconds without a one-hit monster kill, or after using One Slash Asura.)

One Slash Asura (active): Raise the Asura Blade high and unleash a powerful wave of blade energy, dealing true damage to all enemies within an area ranging from 10*10*10 to 50*50*50. The area depends on the number of Asura One Slash stacks. Damage = 10% of total combat power * number of Asura One Slash stacks.

Lin Yi gently stroked the blade, feeling the wisps of cold emanating from its edge.

Not only did this blade boast astonishing attack power, it actually came with two top-tier skills.

More importantly, both suited him perfectly!

Asura One Slash required high combat power to build stacks, and Lin Yi's combat power was... 120 million!

What monster in the beginner village had more than a hundred million HP?

And One Slash Asura was even more heaven-defying. By consuming Asura One Slash stacks, it could actually ignore armor and magic resistance to deal true damage directly!

And the damage he could deal now... exceeded a hundred billion!

This blade was definitely one of the pieces of equipment he needed most right now!

"The Asura Blade. That brings back memories."

Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head, seemingly recalling something.

But then his gaze shifted to the Asura Class Change Scroll in his hand.

The scroll radiated a mysterious glow, seemingly containing some special power.

[Asura Class Change Scroll]

Category: Class change scroll

Grade: BA

Effect: Use to change class to Asura and obtain the Power of Asura.

Description:

1. Awakening the Power of Asura removes the mana bar and greatly increases your attack power by 100% and defense by 50%.

2. Each attack has a 20% chance to trigger Asura's Wrath, dealing additional damage equal to 100% of combat power to the target and restoring 5% of your HP.

3. When using Asura-type weapons, weapon effects are doubled.

4. Every 10 levels, gain an exclusive Asura-type skill!

5. Asura symbolizes slaughter and rejects all others. After using this class change scroll, you cannot obtain any other class by any means.

"Heh!"

"Just as expected. Still the same!"

Lin Yi put the class change scroll into his inventory without the slightest intention of changing classes.

This thing's effects had screwed over quite a few experts in his previous life.

The attributes granted by the Asura class were undeniably powerful, but that was only relative.

On average, only two or three people per beginner village could clear the [Hell-Level Class Change Trial].

Those two or three represented humanity's top talent.

Most of them had chosen to learn it and become [Asuras], but had overlooked its side effect.

They could not obtain any other class by any means!

In the mid-to-late game, people would encounter stronger classes.

However, those former top experts could no longer erase the [Asura] mark on them and could not change to other classes!

Of course, the [Asura] class could also be advanced.

But advancing the [Asura] class required killing other Asura class holders to absorb their Power of Asura.

Depending on their choices, they could change to [Battle Asura], [Demonic Asura], [Titled Asura], and so on.

Those whose Power of Asura was absorbed would become classless cripples who could never obtain a class!

Although an advanced [Asura] was by no means weak, it could no longer satisfy Lin Yi's ambitions!

Zero Game's vastness exceeded everyone's imagination. If you limited yourself to the so-called strongest class granted by a beginner village dungeon...

Well, sorry. You'd fallen for it!

With his foreknowledge, Lin Yi certainly wouldn't fall for it!

This class change scroll was the game's first lesson for all of humanity's experts!

"Tsk, tsk. I wonder how many of those experts from my previous life will fall for it again."

Lin Yi seemed to recall something amusing and shook his head with a chuckle, but then his brow furrowed slightly.

"It should've been ten seconds already. Why haven't I left the dungeon?"

As if responding to his question, two more cold notification tones sounded in Lin Yi's ears:

"[The Impossible Mission], first-stage mission... failed! Current progress: 0%!"

"You will leave the dungeon in 10 seconds. Please take note!"

Lin Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and he froze for a moment as he listened to the voice:

"F-failed?"

"Wait... wasn't I doing the class change trial?"

"This counts as part of that four-star mission too?"

"More importantly... I actually failed the mission?"

"How did I fail?"

"Didn't I kill it fast enough? Wasn't my rating high enough?"

"Surely I didn't fail because I was talking to myself?"

"Could killing the boss not be this stage's requirement?"

Lin Yi shook his head from side to side, his thoughts somewhat jumbled.

He felt his control over his body gradually weakening, a sign that he was about to be ejected from the dungeon.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of gloom on his face, but he still couldn't figure out why he had failed.

He could accept losing, but not without knowing why!

Just as Lin Yi was about to be ejected from the dungeon!

Suddenly!

A silver gate abruptly appeared before him!

Whoosh!

The Silver Key in Lin Yi's inventory instantly shot out like a streak of light, hurtling toward the silver gate!

Click!

The key slid into the gate's lock, and the silver gate opened with a click!

Swish!

Lin Yi, who was about to be ejected from the dungeon, was instantly sucked into the silver gate!

The key and gate likewise vanished from the spot together.

Only a strange, enormous crater remained in the [Hell-Level Class Change Trial]'s arena, as if declaring that the battle that had just taken place was no illusion.

After a dizzying whirl, Lin Yi arrived in another cavern.

At that very moment!

A system notification sounded in his ears:

"Welcome to the ZZ-rank dungeon, [Purgatory-Level Class Change Trial]!"

"As the first human player in this universe to enter this dungeon, you are awarded 1,000 reputation."

"Kill all monsters to complete the trial!"

"Good luck!"
