The most important thing in a job change is the will of the one changing jobs. Interestingly, Wang Defa had also said before that, in the gravity test, the key factor was also spiritual power!
At this moment, although Jiang Kai's body was enduring terrifying pressure, his mind had never been clearer.
He didn't want to lose—he couldn't lose!
The current situation was just like back when he participated in the Newcomer Trial—he had to win!
Perhaps, this was the difference between Jiang Kai and other gamblers!
Jiang Kai's body was already showing signs of being unable to withstand the gravity. He stuffed a Demon Potato Fry into his mouth in one go.
Instantly, an intense suffocating sensation surged through him. Jiang Kai knew his body had already reached its limit!
"I can't die yet!" Jiang Kai roared.
"Because… it's time!"
The Yama King Order launched a frenzy of attacks at Jiang Kai himself. Under the dual onslaught of extreme gravity and ferocious assaults, even with the Demon Potato Fry, Jiang Kai was enduring pain no ordinary person could bear.
The only thing keeping him standing now was faith—faith to survive, to win!
The secondary effect of the Wheel of Fate unexpectedly activated at that moment.
The duration of "It's time!" kept increasing!
This process lasted for a full twenty minutes!
Even the little creature watching Jiang Kai—whose body was covered in wounds—was full of disbelief!
At this point, Jiang Kai had completely turned into a man of blood; not a single patch of skin on his body remained intact!
After twenty minutes, "It's time!" finally ended.
At the same time, Jiang Kai instantly felt the gravity pressing on him lighten.
The familiar voice of the system finally rang out.
[You have passed the baptism of divine punishment!]
[Your new class is...]
[Heaven's Punishment Exile.]
[Heaven's Punished gain a higher chance of triggering top-tier rewards during class change, but they will also suffer divine punishment, losing part of their rewards while obtaining the supreme prize.]
["Super Multiplier" effect activated. Since Heaven's Punishment Exile has fewer than 100 backup talents, you will gain three talents, with quality compensation.]
[Your class talent is "Desperate Outlaw" (Godslayer Tier).]
[The Exile was abandoned by the gods, banished to the Land of the Forsaken, becoming a Desperate Outlaw. Their attacks are deadly and brutal.]
[Desperate Outlaw: Permanently increases critical hit rate by 20%, critical damage by 400%, and damage against King-level or higher bosses by 100%. When HP drops below 10%, you may manually activate this talent. Upon activation, all attacks gain +300% true energy damage, but incoming damage also increases by 100%.]
[Your random talent compensation grants you a second-class talent.]
[Second-class talent: "Land Without Gods" (Godslayer Tier).]
[Here, there are no gods!]
[Land Without Gods: Upon activation, creates a territorial field. Within the field, self and up to ten allies gain +100% to all attributes and +100% to special attack power. You are immune to all mental control effects below Godslayer Tier. Within the field, certain enemy special effects are nullified.]
[You have obtained the third random talent: "Heaven's Punished" (Godslayer Tier).]
[When surpassing the mortal stage, attribute realization ratio increases by an additional 100%.]
"Super talent multiplier? Holy crap!" Jiang Kai almost screamed.
He had just obtained three Godslayer-tier talents in one go!
"Godslayer tier? What tier is that?" Jiang Kai's eyes widened. He had heard that the highest tier was supposed to be God-tier talents.
Unfortunately, his attribute bonuses didn't benefit from the "Super Multiplier" effect.
[Your attribute boost triggered the "Multiplier" effect, but due to divine punishment interference, the multiplier was canceled.]
"Huh? My stat doubling got canceled? What the hell!" Jiang Kai protested in frustration.
But the Ghost Star System clearly had no intention of negotiating with him.
Other people, upon reaching Transcendent Tier 4, had their stats increase fivefold.
Even so, Jiang Kai's stats still reached terrifying levels.
His Strength reached 45,000, Constitution 36,000, Agility 130,000, and Spirit Power 50,000.
With such a massive boost, Jiang Kai could now withstand 20x gravity without even feeling it!
"Could it be that my Super Multiplier didn't trigger by luck within that 3%, but because the divine punishment forced the multiplier effect to activate?"
Thinking of that, Jiang Kai felt a little better.
All three of those talents were Godslayer-tier—even if Jiang Kai didn't know what that meant, he could guess they were stronger than God-tier talents.
Losing one multiplier in exchange for a super multiplier—definitely worth it.
Especially the last talent, which allowed him to draw out even more attributes than others. He'd never heard of anything like it before.
"The first two are combat-related, and the third one's about stat realization… not bad. Plus, my base stats were already higher than others' anyway. Ah, forget it—Ghost Star's not going to listen to me anyway. It is what it is."
Jiang Kai shook his head and reluctantly accepted his situation.
When he stood up, he saw the little creature staring at him in total shock.
This tiny thing had stayed by his side ever since he entered the Seventh Pagoda and had witnessed his entire class change process firsthand.
Just a while ago, it had been half-dead, but after its breakthrough, it looked fully recharged, like all its stats had maxed out again.
Moreover, there was something different about the aura Jiang Kai gave off now—something the little creature couldn't quite describe. All it knew was that this Jiang Kai was nothing like the panicked one who had fled into the Seventh Pagoda before.
The effect of Still Observation was still active, and Jiang Kai could still use x-ray vision to see the old guard outside the Seventh Pagoda.
He glanced at his wristwatch.
[Player threat level: None.]
Jiang Kai nodded. As expected of a fearless old monster.
There were still a few minutes left before the Still Observation effect ended. Jiang Kai's body was still recovering from intense exertion, so all he could do was sit there and observe his surroundings out of boredom.
"Wait, I have x-ray vision—so why can't I see what's on the upper floor?" Jiang Kai muttered, puzzled.
Unexpectedly, he noticed a red glow flickering in the distance.
"Blood Spirit Stones? That many?" Jiang Kai was shocked.
Not only were there Blood Spirit Stones, but also a few Heavenly Crystal Stones and various other ores.
Some of those ores even looked identical in texture to the ones used in the Demon-Slaying Sword!
"No way… could those be the same materials used to forge the Demon-Slaying Sword?"
Jiang Kai didn't need that many Blood Spirit or Heavenly Crystal Stones. The real reason he came here to mine was to repair the Demon-Slaying Sword.
If those ores really were the same materials, he could completely restore it!
And once the Demon-Slaying Sword was restored… who knew what new sword techniques he might be able to learn?
Within those special ores, red light pulsed from within—but it was too bright for Jiang Kai to see clearly.
"Hiss… there's something inside them? Don't tell me whatever's in there is the real cause behind the mine's upheaval?"
If his body could move, and if that old gatekeeper weren't still outside, Jiang Kai would've already gone to investigate.
