Chapter 324: Successful Class Advancement, SS-Rank Thunder Sword Sovereign Appears!

Zhou Huai couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated.

Damn it.

These beasts actually learned how to make a feint to the east and attack to the west.

Knowing that he held the Heaven-Suppressing Seal, making him difficult to deal with.

They simply split their forces into two routes, one responsible for frontal containment, and the other going around to raid the back.

Exactly this operation precisely hit Zhou Huai's weakness.

A Hell-level BOSS of the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent's level could simply not be stopped by the defensive Formation arranged by Zhuge Kongming alone.

Once it was allowed to push straight in, the consequences would be unthinkable.

And the only one in Zhou Huai's hands who could fight it was Gandalf.

But Gandalf could not leave.

High up in the sky, that Purgatory Flame Dragon was still eyeing them covetously.

Once Gandalf left, it would inevitably take advantage of the opening.

Support, or not support?

This was a dilemma.

No matter how he chose, it was incomparably passive.

In this beast tide battle.

For the first time, Zhou Huai gave birth to a sense of anxiety.

His brain was running at high speed, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

But this time, his mind was completely blank.

A dead end.

A thorough dead end.

Relying on just one Gandalf, it was simply impossible to cope with two Hell-level BOSSes above Rank 50.

It wouldn't take long before the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent would completely tear apart all the defenses of the west city gate.

Then, push straight in.

He, Zhou Huai, might still survive.

But the brothers of the Eternal Night Guild probably wouldn't even have one survive.

The hundreds of thousands of residents of Donghai City who had not yet evacuated would also turn into powder under the iron hooves of the beast tide.

His newly triggered challenge task would also end in failure.

Thinking of this.

The corners of Zhou Huai's mouth hooked into a bitter arc.

But he was not a person who gave up easily.

The more desperate the situation, the more intense his resistance would be.

Since that was the case…

In Zhou Huai's eyes, a trace of resolute ruthlessness flashed.

Then he could only cut off his wrist to save his life.

He was ready to give up Yasuo and Xiang Yu's second-Rank challenge and forcibly recall them.

Then, taking everyone, abandoning other areas in the city, the entire personnel would fall back to defend Ye Family Manor.

Relying on the fortifications of Ye Family Manor and the Formation temporarily arranged by Zhuge Kongming, perhaps they could hold on for a while longer.

Shrink the forces and concentrate on one point.

As long as those two Hell-level BOSSes dared to come over.

He would let the newly recalled Clone take the Heaven-Suppressing Seal and trade one-for-one with them!

This approach was very cruel.

It meant he would completely abandon the vast majority of ordinary residents of Donghai City.

But right now, there seemed to be no better way.

Only in this way could he maximize the guarantee that more people could survive this catastrophe.

Just at the moment when Zhou Huai was about to issue the forced recall order.

Ding!

A crisp and pleasant System prompt sounded in his mind without any warning!

[Congratulations, Host! Your Clone "Yasuo" has completed this second-Rank challenge dungeon!]

[Congratulations, Host! Your Clone "Yasuo" has successfully changed classes to become an SS-Rank class — Thunder Sword Sovereign!]

Zhou Huai's body shook violently!

His bloodshot eyes due to anxiety instantly widened into round circles!

Immediately following, an uncontrollable ecstasy, like a volcanic eruption, surged from the bottom of his heart!

"Succeeded?"

"Yasuo… he finally succeeded in his class change!"

This is truly heaven leaving no way out!

Thunder Sword Master, Thunder Sword Sovereign.

Although there was only a one-word difference.

But between the SS-Rank and S-Rank, there lay an insurmountable chasm!

Zhou Huai no longer had the slightest hesitation, his consciousness instantly returned to his main body!

…

Ye Family Manor, inside the bedroom.

Zhou Huai abruptly opened his eyes from the bed.

He didn't even have time to feel the weakness of his body before eagerly looking toward the bedside.

The space there was violently twisting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A portal emitting a faint purple glow slowly opened.

The next second.

An upright figure slowly walked out from the portal.

Still that uninhibited long black hair.

Still that face with a bit of stubble, full of a sense of vicissitudes.

What he wore on his body was still that exclusive trench coat of the Eternal Night Guild printed with a crescent moon emblem.

Yet Zhou Huai could clearly feel it.

He was different.

If Yasuo before was an incomparable fierce weapon with its sharp edge exposed, ready to drink blood at any time.

Then he at this moment was an ancient divine sword hidden in its sheath, yet still capable of making heaven and earth pale in comparison.

He just stood quietly there, not releasing any aura.

Yet the air in the room seemed to have become solidified and sharp.

That formless sword pressure even made Zhou Huai's skin feel bursts of needle-like stinging pain.

Zhou Huai forced down the excitement in his heart and quickly opened Yasuo's status panel.
