Virus King - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Professions Ranked by Difficulty! The Prestige of Being First!

TL: YYang

In the White Eagle Empire,

Within a special secret realm dungeon, there existed a massive amusement park.

Two figures stood at the very center of the amusement park.

One of them was a young white man with golden blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He had an extraordinarily handsome face and a model-like, perfectly proportioned body.

At this very moment, corpses lay scattered around him.

These corpses included zombies, a variety of ghosts, and, of course, other fallen Evolvers. Surrounding him were the remains of his competitors, undoubtedly as dead as they could possibly be.

Even he was covered in wounds at this moment. His silver-white specialized soft armor robe was stained with streaks of blood.

Standing before him was an equally bizarre figure.

It was a clown.

The clown was holding a bunch of balloons. However, only one of the balloons remained intact; the rest were in tatters.

Even the clown’s limbs were twisted to varying degrees. Clearly, this was the outcome of a mutually destructive battle.

Yet the young man continued to lock his piercing gaze onto the figure before him.

His movements were incredibly agile—almost inhuman. In that instant, a bone extended out from his arm, transforming into a unique bone blade. His injuries, too, began to heal gradually as his body underwent further transformations!

Once more, he lunged at the clown in front of him!

His name was Anthony.

The possessor of the SSS-Rank talent “Shapeshifter.”

This was an absolutely game-breaking talent. Transformation abilities, while they might not seem particularly flashy or unique among the wide array of powers, became something entirely different in Anthony’s hands.

And at this very moment, his eyes were filled with excitement!

As long as he could kill the clown in front of him, his profession transfer quest would finally be complete!

The S-Rank profession “Trickster Clown.”

Though the name didn’t sound particularly impressive, when paired with his Shapeshifter talent, it was a profession that complemented him perfectly!

However, the profession transfer quest had been insanely difficult. He had brought along more than ten elite Evolvers whom he had painstakingly gathered over this period. Yet, to his dismay, all of them had perished here. Still, their sacrifices were worth it!

By now, Anthony had thoroughly studied and understood all of the clown’s abilities.

He had also built up enough confidence to defeat it!

In an instant, the clown attacked once again. However, Anthony’s lower body suddenly transformed into that of a massive snake, which coiled tightly around the clown.

Ten minutes later, with a final bang, the last remaining balloon burst.

The final boss of this Nightmare-level secret realm dungeon was finally, utterly dead!

At the same time, a profession transfer scroll appeared in Anthony’s hand.

Without hesitation, he grabbed it, his eyes brimming with excitement.

It had been nearly a month since the apocalypse began.

As a rare SSS-Rank talent holder, his journey had been smooth sailing.

However, there was one thing that consistently irritated Anthony: despite his strength, he had always been overshadowed by someone from across the ocean—some Dragon Nation man.

That guy, some “Bai” or whatever his name was, had always been ahead of him, hogging the spotlight with every major feat and achievement.

Anthony figured that being the first Evolver to complete a profession transfer had to be even more remarkable than clearing those secret realm dungeons. Naturally, an announcement would surely be made to all Evolvers!

“Hmph! So what if you have an SSS-Rank profession? I’m still the first to complete a profession transfer!”

Finally, he could show that Dragon Nation guy that the Evolvers of the White Eagle Empire were the true apex predators in the food chain!

With that thought, Anthony crushed the profession transfer scroll for “Trickster Clown.”

Just as Anthony crushed the profession transfer scroll, a sudden notification from the Will of the Universe resounded:

[Evolver ‘Bai’ has become the first to complete a profession transfer. The God and Devil Trial Grounds has officially entered the Evolution Phase. National Level Rankings have been unlocked…]

The smug expression on Anthony’s face instantly froze, turning to stone in that moment.

Group Chat No. 001

[Yezi: Things have been kinda quiet in the group lately! Where is everyone?]

[Your Han King: The big shots must be busy working on their profession transfers! Damn it, can’t one of them come and help this poor child out? I’m just 10,000 experience points away from level 10! Waaaaah!]

[Overlord: Stop dreaming, Little Han. Everyone’s focused on getting their profession transfer scrolls. You’ve already got a scroll, so of course, everyone’s guarding against you, haha!]

[I’m Really Not a Sword Immortal: Dammit, why is this S-Rank Chief Disciple of Mount Shu profession so hard to qualify for? I still need my swordsmanship skills to meet the requirements. So annoying!]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Pfft, can you stop showing off, you bastard? My Thunder Strider scroll is still in that damned dwarf’s hands! Sure, I was lucky to come across the guy, but finishing the investment quest is way too difficult. And here you are, just waltzing into Mount Shu and getting a free profession transfer scroll. Isn’t that enough for you?]

[I’m Really Not a Sword Immortal: Alright, alright, staying humble… By the way, how’s Crow doing with his profession search?]

[Crow: Get lost. Bring that up again and I’ll fight you. I hit level 10 five days ago, and I still don’t have a single solid lead on a proper profession. Damn it!]

[Shui Chuan: Sigh, I wonder who on Blue Star will be the first to complete their profession transfer. What about Lord Bai? He’s been missing for over ten days now. I’d be unhappy if anyone else gets it first, but if it’s Lord Bai, I’d totally accept it!]

[Your Han King: Didn’t Lord Bai say last time that he went off to complete another profession transfer quest? And it’s another SSS-Rank profession. Holy crap, that’s insane!]

After so many days, all the Evolvers in the chat group had gained a clearer understanding of the difficulty of obtaining high-tier professions.

Even someone as strong as Crow, who was likely one of the top Evolvers in the group aside from Lord Bai Chen, was struggling to find a good, suitable profession. This only emphasized how extraordinary Lord Bai’s previously revealed SSS-Rank profession, “Scourge of the Living,” truly was.

And now, Lord Bai had gone to obtain another SSS-Rank profession. What kind of determination and audacity did this require?!

[Dingding: But isn’t Lord Bai’s absence getting a little too long? It’s been over ten days, hasn’t it?]

[Your Han King: Prayers for Lord Bai. May he return safe and successful…]

However, just at that moment, a notification appeared:

[Evolver ‘Bai’ has become the first to complete a profession transfer. The God and Devil Trial Grounds has officially entered the Evolution Phase. National Rankings have been unlocked…]

In an instant, the entire chat group fell into a dead silence.
