Evolution Begins with Elemental Domination

When Su Chen’s vision returned, he found himself in a boundless land of pure white.

It was as if there was no ground beneath his feet and no sky above his head, only a vast, gentle light that permeated everything.

’The Inheritance Space!’

This time, to avoid any interference, he had even recalled Xiaoye beforehand and wasn’t wearing any weapons. All of this was for the sake of obtaining the All Elements hidden class.

After the sacrificial materials transformed into a cloud of Origin Light Particles that gradually rose and vanished, a distant, vast, and emotionless voice echoed from the depths of the void.

”Based on the sacrificial materials you submitted, you have earned the right to unlock certain High-Star hidden class Authorities.”

”Additionally.”

”To meet the requirements for the hidden class Authorities, your missing Rune Talents will be automatically supplemented. Please choose one of the following class options: Grand Elemental Master (★★★★★), Five Spirits Priest (★★★★), Chaos Warlock (★★★★).”

Three hidden class Authorities were unlocked.

Halos of light swirled and overflowed, captivating one’s mind and leaving them spellbound.

’To be honest, there are two fewer options than when I first entered.’

’But...’

’The Star Levels speak for themselves. They’re on completely different tiers of power.’

At this moment, the ten Runes floating around Su Chen suddenly resonated. They continuously shot out dazzling threads of light, and along their paths, countless tiny rune totems burst forth like sparks. These threads intertwined and extended, converging on the different Authority light clusters.

The Sanctuary was silent, save for the surging streams of light.

As Su Chen stared, he had already discerned the requirements for these three hidden classes.

First, Grand Elemental Master, which required Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Ice, Wind, Thunder, Light, and Dark—all to be at Lv. 4 or higher. Furthermore, three of them had to reach Lv. 5.

Second, Five Spirits Priest. This one was related to Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, but all five elements had to be at Lv. 5.

Third, Chaos Warlock, which required one Spirit Element Rune to be at Lv. 6, and both the Light and Dark Attributes to reach Lv. 5.

’Based on the class’s Star Level, Grand Elemental Master is the only choice.’

Su Chen came to this conclusion first. It was indisputable. He couldn’t possibly choose a lower-tier option. A hidden class with All Elements characteristics had been his goal from the very beginning, and now that it had actually appeared, he was thrilled.

’The only issue that’s a little unsettling is that I’ve already filled out my Runes too much.’

’The Rune Essence provided by the Inheritance Space to compensate was pathetically scarce—just enough for an Lv. 5 Ice Element Rune and some materials to upgrade the Gold Element’s ’Critical Hit’ to Lv. 4.’

’What a huge loss.’

’Compared to what I would’ve gotten from Five Spirits Priest or Chaos Warlock, it’s not even close.’

’The former would have directly upgraded my Gold, Wood, and Water Element Runes all to Lv. 5. The latter was even more ridiculous—the supplementary Rune Materials would have been enough to boost my Telekinesis Rune to Lv. 6 and my Light Element Rune to Lv. 5.’

’If I’m counting every penny, this is definitely a small loss.’

’I wonder if I can pick up the leftover Rune Essence after I confirm my class.’

Considering that time was tight outside, Su Chen didn’t linger. With a focused thought, his consciousness submerged like a tide into the brilliant light radiating from ’Grand Elemental Master’.

In an instant, the ten Runes surrounding him trembled in unison. All the extended threads of light suddenly retracted, pulling in the Rune Essence that had appeared along their paths, and drew the final, interwoven core of the Authority into his Sea of Consciousness.

In a flash.

BUZZ!

In the boundless Sea of Consciousness, a small tree grew with a thunderous roar.

Its roots were planted in his spiritual origin, drawing nourishment from his Spiritual Energy. The trunk was entirely translucent, with pure Elemental Energy flowing within. Multiple well-grown branches extended outward, from which hung plump, glowing fruits.

There were five clusters of light in total.

Each corresponded to one of five class characteristics.

One, ’Resonance’.

Omnidirectional Elemental Perception. Within a hundred-meter radius, you can actively establish an instantaneous resonance with any element in the environment to perceive all flows.

Two, ’Elementalization’.

You can turn parts of your body or your entire body into an element of any attribute. While in this state, you are immune to physical and same-attribute damage.

Three, ’Weaving’.

To a certain extent, you can weave up to three Runes into a composite Technique. You can also easily and perfectly apply the Attached Damage Effects of three elements to other Runes.

Four, ’Elemental Furnace’.

Maximum Rune Energy Value increased by 100%. Recovery speed +50%. When resonating with the external environment, you can draw Elemental Energy from it to replenish the corresponding Runes.

Five, ’Elemental Mastery’.

Affinity with all major elements is greatly increased, and you gain correspondingly high elemental resistance. The effects of any Elemental Rune are increased by 100%.

’My power has skyrocketed.’

At this moment, Su Chen could tangibly feel the power bestowed upon him by the class Authority.

He might not have been able to directly perceive the other class characteristics, but the Elemental Furnace alone made the Runes in his Sea of Consciousness shine with an ever-increasing luster.

However, the first thing he was curious about was how much his physical attributes had changed.

When he checked, he couldn’t help but find it a little funny.

Physical Attributes: Power 18 / Physique 21 / Agility 18 / Intelligence 17 / Perception 17.

Overall, his Physique increased by +1, Power and Agility by +2, and Intelligence and Perception by +3.

’This increase is a bit small.’

Su Chen considered that his Physique had increased the least, perhaps because its base value was already so high that the gains were smaller.

But it was still ridiculous...

After such a major leap in power, and from a Five-Star Authority class no less—a turning point in his life—he had only gained such a tiny increase in his physical stats.

’Still a glass cannon, just like always.’

’At least I have ’Elementalization’.’

He slowly raised his right arm.
