Chapter 84: Becoming a Second-Tier Ability User

Chapter 84: Becoming a Second-Tier Ability User

After everyone had left, Ye Zian gazed out at the bright moonlight, but his thoughts were far from settled.

The researchers from the Empire of the East who had arrived in the Great Summer were now a pressing concern for Ye Zian.

He sighed and muttered to himself, "It looks like I'll have to pay a visit to the Xiacheng base tomorrow and find a way to root out those hidden rats."

Sitting on the ground, Ye Zian took out the crystal chips he had gathered over the past few days.

He thought, "The energy within me has reached a bottleneck. I'm now an advanced first-tier ability user, ready to break through to the second tier at any moment."

Generally, an ability user should not absorb more than one hundred chips a day to avoid being overwhelmed by the residual zombie virus within the chips, which could adversely affect their strength.

However, with the Chaotic Yin-Yang Technique in his body, Ye Zian didn't have to worry about this issue. The viruses from the chips would automatically be expelled by the technique, and he could absorb them at a rate ten times faster than other ability users.

Ye Zian grabbed a handful of chips and began to absorb the energy contained within them.

Streams of red light flowed from his palm into his body, merging with the spiritual energy generated by the Chaotic Yin-Yang Technique, continuously enhancing the cells within him.

To onlookers, Ye Zian appeared to be in a meditative state, his eyes closed and his face glowing red, surrounded by steam as his skin exuded a dark brown liquid.

As he absorbed his three-thousandth chip, he finally broke through the barrier of the first-tier ability user and officially became a second-tier ability user.

"Ha!"

Ye Zian exhaled a breath of stale air, slowly opening his eyes to look at his muscular arms. He clenched his fists and threw two casual punches.

The sound of the air exploding echoed throughout the entire loft.

...

Ye Zian felt the change in his internal power and said to himself, "Now, my strength is at least five times that of my previous first-tier self. The most important thing is that I can now record a second ability, which will further enhance my combat power."

He stored the remaining chips in his space and walked into the bathroom to clean off the grime from his body.

Later that night, just as Ye Zian turned off the lights and lay down, the door to the loft creaked open slightly.

A shadow dressed in a silky nightgown peeked around before sneaking in.

Ye Zian initially thought it was Liu Qinghuan or Lin Qianqian, but as the figure approached, he realized he didn't recognize her—she was likely a student from Xiacheng University.

Lying on the bed, Ye Zian quietly observed her actions, curious about what she intended to do.

The girl was tall, resembling Hu Xuefei, but her features were delicate and charming, with a heart-shaped face and a slender waist. Her clear, watery eyes held a hint of determination.

Seeing Ye Zian resting on the bed, the girl bit her lip, thinking this was her only chance. She leaned down to unfasten Ye Zian's belt while simultaneously shedding her own nightgown.

A stunningly white figure appeared before Ye Zian, her curves accentuated and without an ounce of excess fat.

Her slender hands were not idle either, reaching toward Ye Zian's lower body.

Ye Zian understood her intentions; it seemed she wanted to engage in something intimate with him to gain some benefits.

With the evolution of the system into the Tyrant System and Ye Zian just having advanced to the second tier of ability users, his desires had significantly increased due to the lingering energy he had not yet digested.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Ye Zian's voice shattered the silence of the loft.

Startled by his voice, the girl recalled the City Lord's decisive nature and quickly halted her actions, stammering:

"City Lord, my name is Hu Yuting, and I'm a member of the catering team. I just wanted to switch to a less demanding department."

As a member of the catering team, Hu Yuting had to prepare meals for over two thousand people daily, a task that was hard for someone like her, who had lived a life of luxury. Desperate, she thought of this method to secure an easier job.

Seeing the City Lord not further stop her, Hu Yuting shyly remembered the knowledge she had seen in movies and began to speak hesitantly.

Understanding her intentions, Ye Zian leaned back against the headboard, quietly enjoying Hu Yuting's service, and asked:

"What skills do you possess?"

Hu Yuting hesitated, realizing that as a music major, her knowledge wouldn't help with fortress management. However, seeing Ye Zian's satisfied expression, she finally replied:

"I'm a music major; I can play the piano and the flute."

Ye Zian internally groaned, thinking, 'What a useless skill.'

Looking around and pondering, he spoke again:

"Alright, from now on, you'll stay by my side and manage everything in this loft."

Hu Yuting beamed with joy and said, "Thank you, City Lord."

Ye Zian waved his hand and replied:

"No need to call me City Lord. Just call me Master from now on."

Hu Yuting obediently nodded, her soft voice emerging from her throat:

"Yes, Master."

After an indescribable training session with Ye Zian, Hu Yuting successfully transitioned from a novice to a practitioner of the Chaotic Yin-Yang Technique.

**Congratulations! All attributes +4, additional free attribute points +15. Please allocate freely.**

Satisfied, Hu Yuting nestled against Ye Zian, but she suddenly felt a peculiar sensation in her body, a heat rising within her, as if her internal organs were being roasted by fire.

"Master, I feel like there's fire inside me, and it's so uncomfortable."

Ye Zian noticed that Hu Yuting's body had suddenly turned hot, and he immediately recognized this as a precursor to her awakening ability.

Hu Yuting was beginning to awaken; her body was absorbing the energy dissipated in the air, strengthening her cells, which was causing her temperature to rise.

"Don't worry; this is just your body undergoing transformation before becoming an ability user."

Hearing her Master's words, Hu Yuting endured the discomfort and nodded obediently.

Her originally fair skin now resembled pure snow, and a pair of fluffy fox ears sprouted atop her head, while a bushy fox tail inexplicably appeared behind her.

Ye Zian used his insight skill to examine Hu Yuting:

**Transformation Ability: Fox Priestess:** Sharp claws grow from her hands, granting her a degree of close combat self-defense while also providing buffs to herself and allies.

The heat within Hu Yuting dissipated instantly, and as she came to her senses, she curiously explored her new changes, exclaiming:

"Master, have I become an ability user?"

Her originally delicate appearance now bore a hint of charm, adorned with fluffy ears and sharp claws.

If Daji were alive, she might look just like this.
