Evolution Begins with Elemental Domination

The moment the officials announced the first-ever call to arms for heroes, it was bound to attract a response from many powerful Rune Casters.

Desperate times called for desperate measures.

After a grueling city defense that lasted until dawn, everyone was utterly exhausted. However, considering the efficiency of the Bloodthirsty Fungus’s evolution and the intense hatred sparked by the conflict, they couldn’t rest.

The deaths of their comrades-in-arms, their bodies desecrated, filled many with a burning rage, making them determined to fight on.

Of course, they couldn’t rely on Red Bull to solve the problem of fatigue.

Fortunately, the Rune Store sold a Vitality Potion for the price of one essence, which could alleviate mental fatigue.

In addition, skills like the Light Element’s Awakening Art and the Wood Element’s Nurturing Art had similar effects.

Furthermore...

"My Level 5 Purification Skill unlocked a mind-calming effect, and my Level 4 Rainfall Skill has a similar spiritual recovery effect," Yan Ruoruo said. She sat gracefully on the RV’s sofa, the morning light slanting through the window and outlining her cool, elegant profile.

Facing a small, round mirror on the table, she used a butterfly hair tie to gather her beautiful long hair into a high, fluffy ponytail.

On her left wrist, she wore a delicate diamond chip bracelet that shimmered faintly as it caught the light.

Around her neck was a four-leaf clover diamond necklace. It served as the Enchantment medium for her Level 4 Rainfall Skill, causing it to ripple with a dewy, water-like pattern.

The Enchanted Jewelry Yan Ruoruo wore all provided powerful support effects.

She’d had a rough time late last night and hadn’t gotten to sleep until very late. Yet after the dual spiritual healing, her features, as pristine as unmelted snow, showed no trace of fatigue, and her expression was not the least bit languid.

"Your brother and his group must have stayed at the Rune buildings late last night to take part in the city defense," Su Chen said, leaning against the vehicle’s doorframe and looking at her.

According to their original plan, after reaching the Legacy Sanctuary and completing their class change, they were supposed to rest there for a night and begin the return journey the next morning.

The Holiday Shopping Plaza, located on the city’s southern border, was clearly special. As if it were settling daily rewards, new types of Rune buildings would spring up there every day.

At dawn today, a weapons workshop had also appeared.

From what little information they had, it had stocked 16 types of Rune weapons at once, with a few being extremely expensive, costing 64 essence.

Compared to personally Enchanted weapons, the materials and craftsmanship were undoubtedly superior. Moreover, many of these weapons came with their own unique Magic properties and attack effects.

Since Yan Ziqian and the others were carrying a huge sum of money, they naturally wanted to finish their shopping before setting off. They were expected to arrive at this campsite before evening, and perhaps even sooner if they could find a vehicle.

However, the plan had changed. With the official call to arms issued, they would most likely respond. Setting aside the risks of wiping out a large hatchery, the spoils of war and the resources they could exchange for their achievements would be a massive reward.

Assuming... they could survive.

"They’ll definitely participate."

Yan Ruoruo confirmed it. That being the case, considering the travel time and need for rest, they probably wouldn’t be back until tomorrow.

At that moment, she was still looking in the small mirror, calmly buttoning her white shirt. The light red hickey just below her collarbone vanished beneath the fabric.

Su Chen was planning to take her to search for the Bloodthirsty Fungus’s Flesh Mill later. After they had confirmed their relationship, she had told him everything about her abilities.

Yan Ruoruo’s hidden class was the Three-Star ’Spirit String Artisan,’ which was indeed a Spirit Element archer-type class. Of its four class traits, the first, ’Spirit Contract,’ allowed her to Soul Bind a longbow, storing it within her Sea of Consciousness.

The other three traits were ’Heart Bow,’ which granted the Spirit Contract longbow spiritual piercing damage;

’Echo Arrow,’ which released Spiritual Waves upon hitting a target, capable of passing through obstacles to provide a real-time outline of all living beings in the area;

and ’Tracking Arrow,’ which, after locking onto a target’s spiritual signature, imbued one arrow with a tracking effect.

To successfully change into this class, not only had her Insight Skill been raised to Level 5, but she had also been gifted two Level 4 Spirit Element Runes: ’Spiritual Shelter’ and ’Mind Shock,’ providing both offense and defense.

Overall, the Spirit String Artisan’s stat panel and traits were excellent. It was more than strong enough—an absolute dream class for any Archer.

It was difficult to make a direct comparison with the conventional Three-Star class ’Five Elements Warlock’ that had been revealed so far.

Regarding this...

"Take these and absorb them."

With a flicker of his will, Su Chen sent two small vials flying out of a canvas bag on the floor.

One contained a Level 4 Mind Transmission Rune, and the other, a Spirit Element Rune of unknown effect, was recognized by Yan Ruoruo as a Spiritual Shelter Rune.

"Thank you."

Yan Ruoruo showed no signs of bashfulness or hesitation.

"You should wear this shirt tonight," Su Chen teased intentionally.

She hesitated for a moment, looking at the school-style blouse in the mirror. After figuring out the meaning behind his words, she didn’t object, simply nodding obediently.

She said calmly, "You can have me wear any uniform you want."

Su Chen had only wanted to fluster her, but she was clearly unfazed. However, hearing such flirtatious words from an ice queen like her created a strangely powerful contrast.

"Go ahead and absorb them." He didn’t make her wait any longer.

Yan Ruoruo already had a supply of Spiritual Dust Sand, and after absorbing both Runes, she raised her Mind Transmission and Spiritual Shelter Runes to Level 5.

Her first Core Authority required five Spirit Element Runes to be raised to Level 5 before it would unlock. Considering how rare they were, if she could find an altar building, her progress would speed up considerably.
