So, the moment Zhang Yanhang saw the "Brain Health" option, he had already decided to choose it.
Because a hundred and fifty Energy Value was really a lot for him, as his current Energy value limit was only two hundred and fifty in total. Choosing "Brain Health" would mean his Energy value limit would directly increase by 60%, which was an incredibly good return on investment.
Moreover, the reason why Zhang Yanhang made his decision so quickly, aside from the fact that a hundred and fifty Energy Value limit was indeed very tempting, was because the other two options were quite disappointing.
Especially that "Wisdom" option, Zhang Yanhang even suspected that if he chose it, it might actually turn him into a "wise guy." If that was the case, it would be terrifying.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang felt that sacrificing brain computing power to get an increase in Energy Value Recovery Speed was unreliable no matter how he thought about it.
As for the other option of two Intelligence points? The increase in Energy Value limit those two Intelligence points could provide was too little compared to the hundred and fifty points offered by "Brain Health," not remotely competitive.
"So, I choose Option Three, Increase Energy value limit by +150."
After making his choice, Zhang Yanhang sat on the bed and waited for a second, sure enough, no new prompt messages were triggered.
But even though the leveling-up messages had stopped, Zhang Yanhang suddenly felt a sense of loss.
Because each prompt message actually represented some kind of benefit he received, so if possible, he hoped his screen could continue to be bombarded with prompt messages for a little while longer—he wasn’t asking for much, just five more minutes would satisfy him.
Because he received so many prompt messages, Zhang Yanhang decided to check them in order, starting with the most important one—the requirements for leveling up after ascending to the Second Tier. He wanted to know just how much the requirements had increased after his ascent to the Second Tier, and he hoped they wouldn’t be too high.
Otherwise, with the over seven thousand Soul points he had left, he might not even have enough for one level-up.

[Profession: Heavenly Destiny Master]
[Level: LV.11 (0/2000)]
"Only two thousand? It seems like it hasn’t increased by much..."
Zhang Yanhang remembered that when he leveled up to LV.10, it only took nine hundred Soul points, so even though he had ascended to the Second Tier, the upgrade requirement had only just doubled plus a little, which felt quite surprising to him.
Because under normal circumstances, leveling up to a new stage in the online games he played before would at least triple the requirements, but in the Ashen World, it had only increased a little over double, which was unusual.
"Do Ashen World act this leniently? That doesn’t seem right..." Since his Soul points balance was just enough, Zhang Yanhang directly clicked to level up.
[Would you like to use 2000 Soul points to increase your Profession Level to LV.12?]
"Yes, raise the Profession Level to LV.12." The reason Zhang Yanhang went straight for the promotion was that he wanted to see the changes after leveling up, as only after upgrading could the true requirement of the Second Tier be revealed.
[Profession Level successfully raised to LV.12, Free Attribute Points +6.]
"Hoping the leveling requirements don’t increase too much," Zhang Yanhang prayed as he opened the next level’s upgrade requirements. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI~Fire.net

[Profession: Heavenly Destiny Master]
[Level: LV.12 (0/4000)]
[Soul Points: 5144 (-2000)]
"Four thousand! Ah, I knew it, Ashen World wouldn’t be that lenient. Just one level-up, and yet the Soul point requirement has increased by two thousand."
Zhang Yanhang clearly remembered that during the First Tier Period, each level increase required only an additional hundred Soul points, but after advancing to the Second Tier, the increase skyrocketed twenty-fold, instantly jumping from a hundred to two thousand, which was quite distressing.
"But we can’t come to this conclusion just yet; what if there are other changes later?" To be cautious, Zhang Yanhang clicked to level up again.
[Would you like to use 4000 Soul points to raise your Profession Level to LV.13?]
"Yes, raise the Profession Level to LV.13." Although the current four thousand points seemed low, Zhang Yanhang knew that if this rate continued, in just a few levels, the leveling requirements would soar to five digits.
[Profession Level successfully raised to LV.13, Free Attribute Points +6.]
After completing the Profession Level upgrade, Zhang Yanhang immediately checked the requirements for leveling up to LV.14.
[Name: Zhang Yanhang (Second Tier)]
[Profession: Heavenly Destiny Master]
[Level: LV.13 (0/6000)]
[Soul Points: 1144 (-4000)]
"Six thousand Soul points..." Since Zhang Yanhang had the experience of leveling up during the First Tier, he could now basically determine the result; indeed, the requirement increases by two thousand Soul points with each level.
"Considering the thirty-six Attribute points I saved during the First Tier Period, I now have a total of fifty-four Attribute points. If I use them to enhance the four Main Attributes, I can raise each Attribute by over thirteen points."
But things like attribute enhancement, Zhang Yanhang decided to tackle later. After checking the upgrade requirements, he immediately began to check the effects of the two Professional skills he had just acquired, starting with the Skill Effect of "Supreme Will."
[Supreme Will LV.1 (Passive)]
[Skill Effect: Immune to Spiritual Attacks, Charm, Control, Transformation, Curse, Weakening, and other negative (Spiritual) attack effects that have an Intelligence Attribute Value lower than that of the Heavenly Destiny Master.
Against negative (Spiritual) attack effects with an Intelligence Attribute Value higher than that of the Heavenly Destiny Master, it will greatly enhance the immunity to negative states, reducing negative (Spiritual) attack effects by 75% for Intelligence Attribute Value over 3 points higher, and by 50% for Intelligence Attribute Value over 6 points higher.]
"Supreme Will is this powerful? It directly makes me immune to all negative statuses lower than my Intelligence Attribute, and even if the enemy’s Intelligence Attribute Value is much higher than mine, it can forcibly reduce the attack effect by 50%. This is so strong.
And this is just LV.1, if I can continue leveling it up, the immunity effect of this skill could probably increase even further."
Faced with such a powerful skill, Zhang Yanhang’s only thought now was—[Supreme Will] truly lives up to its name.
Zhang Yanhang felt that if he could raise this skill to LV.MAX, his will would indeed be unable to be disturbed by anyone.
Even so, even the still un-upgraded Supreme Will LV.1 is actually already quite useful, because aside from Mage class monsters, it would be hard for an Ordinary Monster to have a higher Intelligence Attribute than him as a Heavenly Destiny Master with Intelligence as his Main Attribute.
