Chapter 194
If there were a job change prompt, a typical player would definitely prioritize completing the job change rather than farming the Chaos Beast as a material boss.
But the good news was that Ye Bai could complete her job change quest in Landu City tonight without needing to push through any prerequisite tasks or waste time searching for opportunities in other servers.
With a sense of curiosity, Ye Bai logged back in, waiting patiently around the Blood River.
As evening approached, players in Landu City began to gather in groups once again.
At that moment, Ye Bai understood why players here preferred to team up; clearly, forming a group would increase their chances of claiming the loot.
While most players were in teams, Ye Bai stood alone, attracting a few curious and wary glances.
As night fell, just like the previous day, the water below lit up with a brilliant glow at the appointed time.
"Splish..."
The water surged, and the indescribably large Chaos Beast emerged from the depths.
"Ying!"
The players stirred with excitement, eager to jump into action. This time, however, Ye Bai, focused on her job change, would not miss her chance. She charged directly toward the spot where the Chaos Beast had surfaced.
With her level and equipment boosting her speed, Ye Bai zipped through the crowd of players, most of whom were only in their early thirties, like a gust of wind.
As she met the Chaos Beast, which had just breached the surface, she swung her snow-white sword, and an ice spear pierced the creature's body.
"Clang!"
"Ying—!" The Chaos Beast let out a pained cry. Strangely, after being attacked by Ye Bai, its irregular, cloud-like form began to swell like a pufferfish, expanding to three or four times its original size in a single breath. Its once-pink skin transformed into a dangerous crimson.
【‘Forbidden Apostle’ job change trial initiated】
In the next moment, Ye Bai received a system notification.
With her previous attack, the Chaos Beast, now acting as a job change mentor, had clearly changed from its former self. Its level doubled, and its health and other attributes skyrocketed, reaching the corresponding level of 60 for Ye Bai's current third job.
The nearby players were taken aback.
After farming this 'event boss' for so long, it was their first time witnessing such a transformation in the Chaos Beast.
As they recovered from their shock, some quickly realized that this lone player, Ye Bai, must have some information they were unaware of, which allowed her to trigger this anomaly.
"Everyone, get out of here!"
Ye Bai stepped back and shouted a warning to the surrounding players.
"Are you kidding?"
Upon hearing this, the players scoffed. No one was about to retreat; everyone wanted to seize this seemingly transformed boss.
However, in the next moment, the Chaos Beast's form shifted, and a faint blue ice serpent began to emerge from its massive body.
"Splish, splash..."
The water magic spell, **Frost Aura**, which could only be used by a third-tier mage, radiated in waves from the Chaos Beast. Each wave not only had a strong slowing effect but also dealt over a thousand points of freezing damage to nearby players.
As the first wave spread out, the closest player caught in it nearly lost all their health.
With an 80% slowing effect, they barely had time to escape before the second wave of damage came in, completely draining their health.
"What the hell—"
The players could see that the boss had become stronger, but jumping directly from first-tier to third-tier was beyond their comprehension. The gap between second and third-tier bosses was widening, and the current players couldn't even handle a second-tier boss, let alone a third-tier one.
After a wave of Frost Aura, three-quarters of the players present, despite using all their skills, couldn't withstand the five waves of damage and vanished in a flash of white light.
The remaining quarter had managed to escape just in time, having been far enough away from the skill's edge.
Meanwhile, Ye Bai had already rolled back and used **Light Feather Technique** to leap out of the danger zone as the Chaos Beast unleashed its skill.
Once the Chaos Beast finished its attack, Ye Bai charged forward. Facing the current phase of the Chaos Beast, which had merged with some ice creature, she summoned a pale blue aura from beneath her feet, mirroring the one the Chaos Beast had just released. The aura spread out in waves, slowing the monster's approach.
Then, she unleashed a series of fireball spells, dealing damage to the Chaos Beast, which was unable to close the distance.
The battle quickly fell into Ye Bai's rhythm.
"Wow! Who is that? An NPC or a player?"
"Could it be... Bai Ye?"
The remaining players exchanged glances, but soon, through her snow-white sword and magical attacks, they began to piece together Ye Bai's identity.
After all, this was the Blue Star server, the only one known throughout the universe for a single individual.
For the first time, facing a boss, most players lost their desire to approach.
Firstly, the boss had just wiped out so many players in one hit, and its skill damage was far beyond what they had previously understood; secondly, the name of a person carries weight, and just like the development of Bai Ye Town, the mysterious lord Bai Ye was equally renowned.
To this day, Bai Ye had only shown her skills a handful of times in public, and no one could even determine her true class, only guessing it leaned towards a magic-based profession.
And just moments ago, a single attack had taken out so many thirty-level players, and now she was trading blows with the Chaos Beast.
The remaining seven or eight pairs of eyes began to take screenshots, capturing this rare moment of Bai Ye showcasing her power.
However, the next series of events left everyone in the room utterly bewildered.
The boss's health steadily decreased under Bai Ye's solo assault, and it seemed that she could replicate the skills it unleashed, while the Chaos Beast couldn't necessarily do the same with hers.
How could Bai Ye's skill tree be broader than that of the boss they had encountered before? Was this really happening?

Chapter 130
Time was of the essence; the current goal was to complete the job change as quickly as possible. Ye Bai held nothing back in terms of skills and resources, not caring about the players observing her nearby. After all, dying in the game only meant a loss of mental energy, but dying in reality was a different matter altogether.
The advantages of the **Spellbreaker** class were fully realized in her battle against the Chaos Beast.
The Chaos Beast's strength lay in its endless array of spell skills, while Ye Bai could return those skills back to it unchanged. This boss was not an Alchemical Golem; it didn't possess such strong magical resistance.
Ye Bai's health and magical resistance were, without a doubt, far superior to that of other level 60 players.
To the players watching, this scene was both impressive and perplexing. Ye Bai had eight slots for skill returns, meaning she didn't just retaliate immediately with whatever skill the boss used; instead, she stored a series of skills and combined them with her own to create chain damage.
‘+200’, ‘+200’...
Since her personal level couldn't increase before the job change, Ye Bai drank a health potion during the fight, while the Chaos Beast was unable to heal itself.
As time passed, under Ye Bai's strategy of "an eye for an eye," the balance of battle began to tip in her favor, and the Chaos Beast's health dropped to 15%.
At this point, the Chaos Beast suddenly trembled, its body swelling once more, its skin turning a deep shade of red.
The Chaos Beast had entered its second-phase burst!
Ye Bai anticipated this and had already distanced herself before it began to swell.
The nearby players, witnessing this scene, focused their attention entirely on the Chaos Beast.
Although the creature had grown larger and stronger, for those who had participated in multiple boss-farming events, this scene was all too familiar; it was time to collect the mutated materials.
These mutated materials could typically be sold to NPCs for anywhere between five to ten gold coins. Even when players teamed up, it was a considerable profit. So, from the moment it was discovered, the strongest players in Landu City had gathered to compete for it.
"Bang!"
With a sound like a balloon bursting, a previously unseen blue mutated water serpent fell from the Chaos Beast's body and crashed to the ground.
