Chapter 50 - Advancing to Tier 2
New Mo Xiao Office.
Inside the spacious, practical training room.
Ye Mo wore loose white training clothes while sitting cross-legged in the spacious training room.
At this moment, his black hair fluttered, standing on end, and his body was surrounded by violent pitch-black lightning.
It formed a violent cyclone, constantly circulating around him.
His whole person looked like a Thunder Dharma King sitting in meditation, his aura restrained but emitting bursts of pressure.
Rumble! Rumble!
Thunder roared throughout the training room.
Pitch-black lightning surged wave after wave, becoming increasingly violent!
"Phew~"
However, just as the lightning was about to reach a critical point, Ye Mo suddenly let out a long breath.
As he slowly opened his eyes, the pitch-black lightning surrounding his body also began to dissipate slowly.

"Not bad, today I finally raised this ability to the max level."
After slightly restraining his aura, Ye Mo nodded with satisfaction and simultaneously opened his attribute panel.

——————————————————
With the continuous grinding of Ye Xiaoxiao and Meng Li these past few days, he also successfully advanced to the Tier 2 level.
He then spent 2000 Divine Points to directly bestow upon himself the ability "Heaven and Earth Return to Origin."
Now, he possessed unlimited mana.
The number of times he could use his exclusive ability "One Body Same Life" also increased by one.
He now had the capital to be invincible for another half an hour.
The cooldown after use was also reduced from 365 days to 320 days, reducing the wait time by one and a half months.
For the past three days, because of his unlimited mana, he had kept "Heavenly Demon Divine Lightning" on almost the entire time.
Whether eating or sleeping, he rarely stopped using it.
For this reason, it also brought a lot of trouble to Meng Li and Ye Xiaoxiao, who lived together with him.
For example, when eating...
"No, Old Mo! I beg you to retract your magical power. You're too flashy. Are you going to let people eat properly or not?"
"Yah! Mr. Agent, you can't touch my ears with electricity. It's too numbing. I can't stand it."
Another example, when washing up...
Because of a moment of distraction, he accidentally touched the circuit breaker switch.
Crackle crackle!
Crackle crackle!
With a 'zzt', the lights in the entire dormitory went out instantly.
Immediately after, Ye Xiaoxiao's complaining voice came.
"Old Mo! Did you bathe with electricity again? The circuit has been broken several times already! At least control it a little."
Similar incidents happened quite a few times.
This led to Ye Mo only being able to stay in the office's training room for secluded training.
Only today, when he successfully raised "Heavenly Demon Divine Lightning" to the max level, did he come out of seclusion.
Now, his strength could be said to have made a qualitative leap.
Defensively, he had "Indestructible Body," making him nearly undying and imperishable. Even against existences with levels higher than his own, he wasn’t afraid at all.
Offensively, there was "Heavenly Demon Divine Lightning."
The only shortcoming he had was the fear of being controlled, as well as mental attacks in general.
So Ye Mo was also conflicted about his choice for his next God-Tier ability.
"Invulnerability to All Laws" and "Connecting Heaven and Earth."
"Invulnerability to All Laws" could achieve immunity to crowd control, debuffs, magic damage, and mental attacks.
"Connecting Heaven and Earth," on the other hand, could allow him to continuously consume a certain amount of magic power to increase all of his attributes by 1% per second during combat with no upper limit!
And when the increase reached 100%, he could trigger the magical power "Law of Heaven and Earth" for killing and defense!
Paired with "Indestructible Body" and "Heaven and Earth Return to Origin," theoretically, he could achieve infinite level-skipping challenges.
Able to fight and defend, and it even came with special effects for showing off!
As such, Ye Mo was conflicted about his choice of ability for the next tier.
The former could make up for his own shortcomings.
The latter focused more on offensive killing, but if he encountered mental attacks, he would immediately fall into a passive position.
Of course, if he advanced to Tier 4 and chose both, he wouldn't need to worry about this problem.
At that time, he really wouldn't have any scruples and could have basically walked sideways under the gods.
"That little girl, Meng Li, is probably still in a dungeon."
Leaving the training room, Ye Mo sat on the black leather office chair and began to check his account balance.
Current remaining balance: a little over 80,000.
In these three days, due to selling one "Berserker" Class Card, Ye Mo's funds increased by 220,000.
He had used all this money to find a power leveler for Meng Li to grind her levels. Plus, the little girl herself worked very hard as well.
She slept for almost four hours a day.
If she wasn't in a dungeon, she was on the way to a dungeon.
The results didn’t disappoint.
Her level rose from 18 to 20.
She completed the goal ahead of schedule.
Her various stats rose to 78 points.
She also comprehended a new skill, "Oblique Moon Ghost Slash."
——————————————————
[Oblique Moon Ghost Slash]
[Skill Level: 1 (18%)]
[Consumption: 100]
[Cooldown: 10 seconds]
[Introduction: Unleashes a large-range sword qi strike forward with a 60% amplification effect.]
[Remark: For every level increase, cooldown -0.5 seconds, attack amplification +10%.]
——————————————————
This was a mid-range, large-area, explosive damage skill.
Paired with Meng Li's "Power of Ghost God," the power of a single strike could reach 140.
Instantly killing squishies within Level 25 was completely not a problem for her.
And the level-up upgrades of this skill were also pretty generous.
Every level increase could amplify the power by 10%.
At max level, it could reach a terrifying power amplification of 150%.
Though the disadvantage was also obvious: the mana consumption was too large.
Without blue potions to replenish her mana, Meng Li could use it twice at most.
It could only be used as a finishing move for now.
"I still have 10 bottles of Holy Spirit Potion in my hand. If I sell them... their total value is probably over 200,000.
I could use that to buy a piece of Transcendental-quality equipment for Meng Li, or...
I can directly buy raw materials at half the cost price, and then forge the equipment myself."
Buying raw materials was half the price of the finished product.
But there was a certain risk to it.
If the forging failed, both the main and auxiliary materials would be destroyed.
Although forging equipment was a profitable trade, it was also an industry with huge initial capital investment.
"My probability of forging Transcendental-grade equipment should be 60%. Counting the 'Divine Essence Forging Method,' it can be increased to 70%."
Ye Mo pondered for a moment and felt that it was worth a try.
This could not only make up for the shortcomings of Meng Li's weak equipment, but it could even increase his forging experience points.
Thinking of this, Ye Mo directly opened Taotao Net and first listed the 10 bottles of "Holy Spirit Potion."
While waiting for the income, Ye Mo also browsed online for the attributes of various "Warrior" Path equipment.
From them, he found several main materials that were extremely cost-effective and compatible with Meng Li's own class.
Two hours later.
"Ding! 220,000 Yuan received in Q-Chat."
Because they were scarce goods with a price but no supply, the potions sold very quickly.
After the funds arrived, Ye Mo reopened Taotao Net and placed orders for all the main materials he had selected beforehand.
"Very good, now everything’s ready. Just need to wait to meet on the competition field."

A/N - I found that many reader lords left comments feeling that the data might be broken, so I'll give everyone a data introduction.
Player Level Attributes:
Level 1~10 Attribute Range: 10~38 (Attributes increase by 1~2 points per level)
Level 10~20 Attribute Range: 19~78 (Attributes increase by 2~4 points per level)
Level 20~30 Attribute Range: 39~158 (Attributes increase by 4~8 points per level)
Level 30~40 Attribute Range: 79~318 (Attributes increase by 8~16 points per level)
Attributes are deduced by analogy.
The higher the grade of the Class Card, the higher the initial attributes, and the higher the growth bonus per level.
SSS-Rank Attribute Card Initial Attributes: Must have one attribute at 20 points.
Before Level 30, the growth attributes per level for SSS-Rank are maxed out.
Level 30 to 40 SSS-Rank Cards: Attribute bonus per level is 12~16.
SS-Rank: Attribute bonus per level is the same range as SSS, but lacks the ability to awaken class traits.
S-Rank: Attribute bonus range per level is 10~14.
The later the stage, the greater the attribute gap between high-quality Class Cards and low-quality classes!
Players have the option to delete their account and change classes, but they need to level up again from scratch.

T/N - The A/N feels like deja vu. Didn’t the author discuss that already in a previous chapter?
As for the MC, he finally has infinite mana. He still has too few skills to use it on, though. He'd better learn more.
Lastly, I feel like "Invulnerability to All Laws” is the better choice. As long as he learns more offensive skills, the MC doesn’t need to worry about fighting above his level too much. He also has that “One Body Same Life” skill as a trump card, as long as he's smart with how to use it. Better to prioritize defense and survival for now.
