Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Each War Phantasm was undeniably powerful. In the outside world, even a team would struggle to take one down.

But those who had made it past the initial trial and entered the Ruins Battlefield were no ordinary people—they were all prodigies, and at the very least, wielders of S-Class professions.

For them, the Ruins Battlefield was not a test. It was an XP farm, a paradise for grinding!

[Slain War Phantasm: +50,000 EXP].

[Slain War Phantasm: +50,000 EXP].

[Slain War Phantasm: +50,000 EXP].

The system notifications kept flashing on Qin Xian’s interface.

In just two to three hours, he had already killed dozens of War Phantasms, amassing three million experience points.

With the Level 4 Radiant Intimacy buff increasing his experience gain by 40%, his total XP surged past five million.

His level skyrocketed from 35 to 38 in an instant, gaining three full levels.

Beyond the generous XP rewards, there was another reason for Qin Xian’s rapid progress—these War Phantasms were nothing more than cannon fodder to him, easily dispatched with a single strike.

Looking at the ever-rising XP counter, Qin Xian couldn’t help but smirk. The Ruins Battlefield truly was the ultimate leveling ground.

Elsewhere, things were far less peaceful. Some prodigies had begun fighting amongst themselves over War Phantasms.

In fact, more of them had perished in these inner conflicts than in actual battles against the monsters.

Meanwhile, deep within the battlefield, something terrifying was beginning to stir. On everyone’s system panel, a progress bar had appeared.

Once enough War Phantasms were slain, the ultimate boss of the Ruins Battlefield—War God Ares—would awaken.

He was the first true deity manifestation in the Divine-Demonic Trial.

Defeating him would unlock the Gate of War, granting access to the second phase of the trial—the Divine-Demonic Battlefield, where the real challenge began.

The initial trial was merely a test of willpower, filtering out the unworthy. The Ruins Battlefield was a gift, a leveling ground for those who had passed.

The Divine-Demonic Battlefield, however, was the true test, where they would face actual deities and demons.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, Yun Tianlu and Lu You had also taken down over a dozen War Phantasms, each gaining a level.

Even so, Yun Tianlu couldn’t shake an unsettling feeling. Ever since entering the Divine-Demonic Trial, an ominous premonition loomed over him.

His intuition had saved his life countless times before—he couldn’t ignore it now.

Lu You noticed his unease and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yun Tianlu shook his head. Though he felt something was off, he didn’t want to say anything that might disrupt Lu You’s mental state.

“It’s nothing,” he replied.

Glancing at the leaderboard, his gaze immediately locked onto the first-place name—Qin Xian.

War Phantasms slain: 62.

His eyes widened in shock. Even the second-place contestant had only managed to kill 35.

The gap between them was nearly double. A complete and utter landslide.

As for Yun Tianlu’s greatest rival, Yin Yingxin, she had only taken down 22, ranking seventh.

At that moment, Yun Tianlu truly understood what it meant to be on a different level.

In Longxi Province, Yin Yingxin was considered an insurmountable mountain—unmatched among the younger generation.

She was an overwhelming presence that suffocated her peers with her sheer power. Even Kangshan City feared her.

Yet here, even she paled in comparison to Qin Xian. The realization was humbling. Still, rather than feel discouraged, Yun Tianlu’s eyes burned with determination.

The road to greatness was walked step by step. He remembered how, back in high school, he once viewed his biggest rival as an impossible obstacle.

And now? That rival had long since been left in the dust. One by one, he had surpassed those who once seemed unbeatable.

He believed in himself that one day, he too would stand on Qin Xian’s level and perhaps, he would even surpass him.

At that moment, a crimson comet streaked across the sky. The ground trembled violently as if something ancient was awakening.

Deep within the Ruins Battlefield, the earth split apart, sending a pillar of light shooting toward the heavens.

A colossal figure slowly emerged from within. Simultaneously, the pounding of war drums and blaring of horns echoed across the battlefield.

Countless spectral warriors materialized in the sky, their souls drawn toward the battlefield, answering their god’s call.

The War God Ares had awakened. The moment he emerged, thousands of prodigies immediately rushed toward the Gate of War.

Others, however, hesitated, conflicted.

“Staying here and grinding until the trial ends could net me at least ten more levels. Do you know how many years that would take in the outside world?”

“And the Divine-Demonic Trial carries a real risk of death. Why take that gamble?”

“Better to stay here and farm XP.”

Many of them ultimately decided to stay behind, unwilling to risk their lives.

Yun Tianlu, however, scoffed, “Experience points can be gained anywhere,” he said firmly. “The Divine-Demonic Trial is dangerous, yes. But it’s also where true opportunities lie.

“Those who stay behind are nothing but cowards.” Without hesitation, he stepped forward, eyes set on the path ahead.
