《After Becoming a Solo Player, My Unlimited Skills Made Me Invincible》 Chapter 1 Solo yer, an Unconventional Talent, I Just Rub ¡°Hahaha! I never thought there would be such a profession in this world!¡± ¡°No wonder it¡¯s an S-ss profession! If more people switch careers like this, humanity is doomed!¡± Blue Star, Third Base City. First High School, on the Transfer za. Mo Xiao groggily opened his eyes. Before him was a futuristic and illusionary panel, with severalrge characters written on it. [Grade 12 (ss 1), Mo Xiao¡¯s career transfer sessful.] [Profession: Solo yer] Grade 12? Didn¡¯t I already graduate a long time ago? What¡¯s this career transfer thing? Solo yer? Have I been watching too much Full-Time Expert? Mo Xiao stood in the center of the formation, utterly bewildered, not knowing what had happened. ¡°Hey, ssmate, are you okay? Don¡¯t be too upset. Your situation is still better than those who have mundane careers. ¡°You should go down and calm yourself first, so you don¡¯t affect others¡¯ career transfers.¡± The teacher in charge of the career transfer didn¡¯t care about Mo Xiao¡¯s current state and directly pushed him out. Mo Xiao, wearing a confused expression, walked out of the transfer formation and instinctively returned to his own ss group. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings and the unfamiliar school uniform, a ridiculous thought spread in his mind. Have I¡­ traveled through time? Just as Mo Xiao began to guess what had happened, countless memories surged into his mind like a tide. This ce was called Blue Star. A hundred years ago, the game invaded reality, and the area of Blue Star expanded a hundredfold, giving rise to numerous instances of secret realms and various kinds of monsters. Once humans on the reached the age of 18, they could undergo a career transfer. After the transfer, they could level up by hunting monsters and obtaining experience to increase their strength. It would create a living space for humans. Mo Xiao walked to the back of the crowd in a daze, but he felt very helpless. Now the body he upied was also named Mo Xiao, just like him. However, this Mo Xiao was aplete orphan. He had no parents. Although he had excellent grades, he was a loner, an oddity in school, without any friends. ¡°Hey hey hey, isn¡¯t this our Mo Xiao, the great schr Mo!?¡± No matter the world, there was never a shortage of these obnoxious idiots. As soon as Mo Xiao settled in, a well-dressed youth strode up to him. This person in front of him was named Su Wei, a bona fide second-generation rich kid, and he and Mo Xiao didn¡¯t get along. ¡°Great schr Mo, you¡¯re really amazing! You¡¯ve be a solo yer! It¡¯s an S-ss super rare profession! ¡°Unlike me, who can only be an ordinary mage. I can¡¯tpare to you~~~¡± Solo yer was an extremely special profession. Other professions naturally gained skills as they leveled up. But solo yers didn¡¯t. This profession had no inherent skills; they could only learn skills through skill books. The advantage was that solo yers could learn any skill without restrictions, and they could also ignore the limitations of their profession when using equipment. On the surface, it seemed good, but skill books in this world were extremely rare. Any random skill book would be priced sky-high. This directly cut off the path for solo yers, to the point where they couldn¡¯t even leave the newbie vige. Listening to Su Wei¡¯s sarcastic remarks, Mo Xiao calmly nced at him and said, ¡°Get lost.¡± ¡°What did you say? Say it again if you dare! I¡¯ll have you struck by lightning!¡± Mo Xiao looked at the incredibly arrogant Su Wei, his expression unchanged. He pushed Su Wei away and started to leave. [Ding, you rubbed against Su Wei and can copy his talent!] [Su Wei does not have any talent for the time being. Rece it with a skill. Do you want to copy it?] Seeing the notification panel that suddenly appeared in his mind, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but pause and instinctively said, ¡°Copy!¡± ¡°Copy!¡± [Congrattions, host, on a sessful copy! You have obtained the skill, Lightning Strike!] Just as Mo Xiao was wondering what was happening, arge hand suddenlynded on his shoulder. ¡°Su Wei! What are you trying to do? This is a school! Do you want to use skills on your ssmates? Get back to your seat and wait for the career transfer to finish!¡± Hearing the familiar reprimand, Mo Xiao instinctively looked up at the person who had arrived. It was their ss teacher, Li Xun. Feeling Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze, Li Xun gently patted his shoulder and said, ¡°Everything will be alright in the end.¡± After saying that, Li Xun red at Su Wei again and returned to his seat. But Mo Xiao remained stunned in ce. [Li Xun rubbed against you, and you can copy his talent¡ªAdvanced Reaction Enhancement (B-rank): Greatly improves reaction speed during battles.] What¡¯s going on? Teacher Li¡¯s level should be much higher than mine. How can I copy it? Mo Xiao instinctively nced at Li Xun and involuntarily gulped. With a thought, the character panel appeared directly in his mind. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV1 (0/100) ss: Solo yer Strength: 10 Agility: 16 Spirit: 14 Endurance: 10 Physique: 10 Skills: Lightning Strike (Lv1), Equipment Mastery (Passive, allows the use of all equipment regardless of upation and ignores certain level requirements), Skill Proficiency (Passive, ignores upation restrictions and allows the learning of any skill) Talent: I Just Rub (Unique talent, this is an extremely powerful talent! Items that you rub against can be sublimated! At the same time, it also has various unexpected characteristics and protective effects. Host, please explore further~ughing emoji}] Advanced Reaction Enhancement (Greatly improves reaction speed during battles) F*ck me? I brush? What kind of talent is this? Why does it look so unorthodox? I Just Rub? Does it mean I just rub against it??? So, the skills and talents I copied earlier were all because of this talent? In this world, everyone can change their upation, but talents like this are only obtained after the second change. Yet I obtained them directly. Could it be that this ispensation for the fact that solo yers cannot automatically learn skills? Just as Mo Xiao was lost in thought, the career transfer ceremony came to an end. Just as Mo Xiao was preparing to leave with the rest of the group, a melodious voice suddenly called out to him. ¡°Mo Xiao¡­ Do you want to team up with me?¡± Mo Xiao instinctively turned his head and saw a graceful girl with a captivating smile silently looking at him. ¡°Jiang He¡­¡± Mo Xiao furrowed his brow slightly and quickly recalled the girl¡¯s name. ¡°I¡¯m an S-rank Elven Archer. I¡¯m good at monster hunting.¡± Jiang He blushed slightly, making her appearance even more alluring. Without hesitation, Mo Xiao said, ¡°No need.¡± ¡°Eh! Don¡¯t leave!¡± Seeing Mo Xiao turn around and leave, Jiang He quickly chased after him and handed him a longbow and quiver, seemingly out of nowhere. ¡°You¡¯re a solo yer, so you should be able to use these. Let¡¯s work together.¡± Looking at Jiang He running away like a graceful elf, Mo Xiao fell into silence. [Jiang He brushed against you~ Skill Wind Spirit Arrow has been copied.] [A rub from the goddess, bringing you a refreshing and joyful feeling. The Wind Spirit Arrow is sublime~] What the f*ck? Can it really happen like this? Chapter 2 The Ferocious Mad Rabbit Rubbed Against You [A rub from the goddess, bringing you a refreshing and joyful feeling. The Wind Spirit Arrow is sublime~] [With the upgrade of the Wind Spirit Arrow, congrattions to the host for acquiring a new skill, Hurricane Arrow: transforming the power of the raging wind into arrows, causing a group attack within a radius of 10 meters. Consumption: 50 MP] ¡°This talent is really out of the ordinary¡­¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself, but his gaze was fixed on the longbow handed to him by Jiang He, and suddenly an attribute panel appeared in front of him. [Wooden Longbow] Quality: White (Quality: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red) Attack Power: 8 Attack range: 50-100 meters Durability: 100/100 [Ordinary Arrow] Quality: White Attack Power: 3 Quantity: 20/20 ¡°It seems to be the mostmon beginner¡¯s weapon.¡± Mo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. If it was too precious, he really didn¡¯t know how to repay this favor. Just as he was about to put the bow and arrow into his inventory, a prompt suddenly appeared in his mind. [Tip: Give it a little rub~ It will undergo a magical transformation~] ¡°Rub? How do I rub? Do I have to rub?¡± Seeing this prompt, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but shiver. After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously raised his hand and rubbed the longbow. [The wooden longbow was rubbed by you and underwent a magical transformation!] ¡°Oh my god! It actually worked?!¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao was overjoyed and quickly checked the attributes. [Mystic Iron Bow] Quality: Green Attack Power: 20 Shooting Range: 100-200 meters Durability: 300/300 Usage Level: Level 5 (Triggered by the solo yer¡¯s passive ability, can be equipped directly) [Armor Piercing Arrow] Quality: Green Attack Power: 8 Attribute: Ignores 10 points of target¡¯s armor Quantity: 20/20 ¡°Can I continue to rub this equipment?¡± Mo Xiao instinctively asked. ¡°The number of equipment enhancements depends on its quality. As a beginner¡¯s basic weapon, it can only be enhanced once. ¡°That makes sense. It would be too buggy if you could keep rubbing it.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and murmured as he looked at the description of the equipment. ¡°It can actually ignore the level requirement. If a wealthy person switches to a solo yer, they might be quite strong.¡± As he said that, an image of Jiang He suddenly appeared in his mind. He shook his head gently. ¡°I¡¯ll repay her favor another time¡­¡± Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao directly put away the longbow and left the school, heading towards the outskirts of the base city. It had been four or five hundred years since the game descended into reality. Through the continuous efforts of the human ancestors, base cities were established, protecting the surviving humans. Outside the base city, with the development of humanity, it had be a leveling area for neers. There were hardly any powerful monsters, making it very suitable for rookies like them who had just changed their upations. The job transition ceremony had just ended, and usually, the teachers would give some advice. It was very rare for someone like Mo Xiao to immediately run out alone into the leveling area where there were almost no people. As soon as he walked out of the gate, a big rabbit carrying a radish appeared in Mo Xiao¡¯s field of vision. [Hooligan Rabbit] HP: 70/70 Level: LV1 Strength: 5 Agility: 18 Spirit: 0 Endurance: 5 Physique: 7 ¡°So, this is a monster? The agility of a level 1 monster is quite high. It seems that these are just small creatures that can only run.¡± Mo Xiaomented and directly took out the mystic iron bow from his storage space. ¡°My attack power is 10 points, plus 20 points from the mystic iron bow, and an additional 5 points from the piercing arrows, ignoring armor¡­ ¡°Two arrows should be enough.¡± Mo Xiao distanced himself and raised his hand directly towards the hooligan rabbit. In an instant, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket descended from the sky and struck the hooligan rabbit fiercely. -15 The sudden attack made the hooligan rabbit scream in pain. It looked around angrily for the enemy. Seeing this damage value, Mo Xiao frowned and quickly drew his bow and nocked an arrow. ¡°Swoosh!¡± An arrow shot out and directly hit the hooligan rabbit between its eyebrows. -70! A bright red text instantly appeared above the hooligan rabbit¡¯s head. Immediately, the giant rabbit copsed to the ground. [Congrattions on killing the hooligan rabbit and gaining 10 experience points.] ¡°A critical hit?¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow and quickly walked to where the hooligan rabbit fell, picking up its drops. [Rabbit Leg*2] [Low-grade Storage Bag (White): The hooligan rabbit¡¯s storage bag, seemingly containing some small items.] ¡°It really is exactly like the game. There are also item drops.¡± Just as Mo Xiao picked up the drops, the system notification appeared again. [The rabbit leg was rubbed by you and upgraded to premium rabbit leg! Requires cooking!] [The storage bag was rubbed by you and upgraded to arge storage bag (White)] ¡°You can even rub item drops!¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s face lit up and he quickly opened his storage bag. [Delicious carrot *6: Can be consumed directly to restore 10 HP.] While Mo Xiao was studying the drops, a sense of danger suddenly came from behind. Instinctively, he swiftly turned around, only to see a gigantic rabbit, as tall as a person, holding a huge carrot in its hand. It had appeared behind him without him noticing. [Ferocious Mad Rabbit (Elite)] HP: 200/200 Level: LV5 Strength: 50 Agility: 15 Spirit: 0 Endurance: 10 Physique: 20 Skill: Full Force Strike (Swings the weapon in hand with full force, dealing 200% damage!) Note: The rabbit king in the leveling area, with a spawn rate of 1%. Neers should run if encountered! ¡°A LV5 elite with 50 strength??? How did I manage to encounter one with a 1% refresh rate?!¡± Looking at the suddenly appearing ferocious mad rabbit, Mo Xiao was speechless. What¡¯s going on? I¡¯ve just transmigrated, and you¡¯re already in a hurry to send me back? At this moment, the ferocious mad rabbit didn¡¯t care about Mo Xiao¡¯s random thoughts. It swung its carrot again and fiercely attacked Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao frowned and quickly dodged. The attack missed again, and the enraged rabbit stomped its feet in frustration. If it were someone else, they might have run into this creature. But! The person it encountered was Mo Xiao, a transmigrator. Dodge a mad rabbit? Impossible! Mo Xiao drew his bow and nocked an arrow without any hesitation, directly shooting an arrow at the rabbit¡¯s forehead. -70! ¡°Indeed, a critical hit on the weak spot. Neen arrows are enough to kill you, dumb rabbit.¡± Mo Xiao sneered and waved his hand, sending down a bolt of lightning. -10 ¡°Su Wei¡¯s skills are weak. He truly lives up to his reputation as a weakling.¡± Just as Mo Xiao was mocking, the ferocious mad rabbit suddenly leaped forward, crossing the distance between it and Mo Xiao in an instant. It appeared in front of Mo Xiao. Before Mo Xiao could react, the carrot in its paw struck his stomach like a club. -40! The huge impact sent Mo Xiao flying. The intense pain almost caused him to faint. However, at this moment, a familiar panel suddenly appeared in front of Mo Xiao. [You were ruthlessly rubbed against by the ferocious mad rabbit. The full-strength attack of the skill has been copied!] Chapter 3 Level Up! Tier 2 Boss, Terrifying as Ever ¡°Huh???¡± Looking at the notification panel that suddenly appeared in front of him, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. ¡°You can even rub against monsters!¡± [Restricted to elite and above monsters. These monsters have extremely high aggression. Host should ensure safety before rubbing against them.] ¡°As expected, everything can be rubbed! I just don¡¯t know what will happen if I really rub against a girl¡­¡± Although he had rubbed against Jiang He before, it was only because Jiang He touched his hand. He had to take the initiative to rub against beauties! Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao rubbed his abdomen, which had been hit earlier, and slowly stood up. ¡°I almost got knocked out with one strike¡­¡± Mo Xiao quickly got up, swiftly adjusted his position, once again aimed at the head of the ferocious mad rabbit, pulled out the mystic iron bow in his hand, and directly activated the newly acquired skill. ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± Suddenly, a sh of red light appeared from the bow and arrow in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°Swoosh! Pa!¡± A crisp sound rang out, and a bright red number instantly emerged from the body of the ferocious mad rabbit. -140 With a piercing cry, the giant rabbit fell down and wentpletely still. [Congrattions on killing the elite monster, the ferocious mad rabbit. You gained 100 experience points!] [Congrattions on sessfully leveling up to level two. All attributes increased by 5 points, and you obtained 10 free attribute points!] ¡°I leveled up? Elite monsters really give a lot of experience!¡± [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV2 (10/200) ss: Solo yer Strength: 15 Agility: 21 Spirit: 19 Endurance: 15 Physique: 15 Avable Attribute Points: 10 points Mo Xiao nced at the panel in front of him and without hesitation, allocated all his points to strength. After dealing with the attributes, Mo Xiao then proceeded to search the corpse. [Quality Rabbit Legs*2] [Carrot Full of Spiritual Power: Consuming it grants an increase in strength in ten minutes!] [Elite Storage Bag: A storage bag from the ferocious mad rabbit, seems to contain some nice items.] [The high-quality rabbit legs you rubbed have transformed into perfect rabbit meat! A premium ingredient that can fetch a good price when sold!] [The spirit-infused carrot you rubbed has transformed into a Strength Carrot. Consuming it permanently increases strength by 1 point.] [The elite storage bag you rubbed has transformed into a Fine Storage Bag!] ¡°Damn! Permanently increase strength by one point! Who knew such a thing existed!¡± Looking at the bright red carrot in his hand, Mo Xiao wasted no time and immediately stuffed it into his mouth. [You have consumed the strength carrot. Strength permanently +1] Just as Mo Xiao was about to check out the other items, a discordant voice suddenly sounded in his ear. ¡°Well, well, well, isn¡¯t this our esteemed Mo, the school genius! So hungry that you¡¯re munching on a carrot directly? I was wondering why I didn¡¯t see you in the ssroom just now. Turns out you came to this forest to level up ahead of time! ¡°A solo yer like you, without any skills, can you even defeat the rabbits here? How about this young master takes you for some leveling? Hahaha!¡± Listening to this obnoxious voice, Mo Xiao turned his head and saw Su Wei apanied by a group ofckeys, who had appeared not far from him at some point. Mo Xiao nced at them and snorted, ¡°Nuisances.¡± Without waiting for them to speak, he turned around and left. ¡°What did you say? Don¡¯t you dare walk away!¡± Watching Mo Xiao¡¯s retreating figure, Su Wei wished he could strike him down with lightning. However, at that moment, someone pulled him back. ¡°What!¡± Su Wei roared angrily. The person swallowed and pointed to the spot where Mo Xiao had been standing earlier. ¡°Su Ge, look at that big rabbit over there. It seems to be an elite monster¡­¡± ¡°What?!¡± Su Wei¡¯s pupils contracted at the words and he immediately cast a probe spell on the corpse. ¡°Level five¡­ ferocious mad rabbit. How did he manage to do it?¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Meanwhile, Mo Xiao had already left the leveling area and entered a forest. This was no longer the beginner¡¯s zone; the monsters here were mostly level 5-10, and they grew stronger the deeper one ventured. Mo Xiao sat on a sturdy tree branch and opened the fine storage bag in his hand. [Congrattions! You have obtained the equipment ck iron spear!] [The ck iron spear you rubbed has transformed into a mystic iron spear!] [Mystic Iron Spear] Quality: Blue Attack Power: 8 Durability: 500/500 Total Sweep: Every attack will cause 70% damage to the surrounding area! Level Requirement: Level 6 ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to turn into a blue-tier equipment!¡± Mo Xiao excitedly gripped the spear in his hand. For someone who had just changed professions, a level six blue-tier weapon could be considered a divine artifact. If it weren¡¯t for Mo Xiao¡¯s profession as a solo yer, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to equip it. That was the strength of a solo yer profession. After holding the spear, Mo Xiao casually found a rogue rabbit. He stabbed the rabbit between the eyes. -140 A total of three digits of damage directly appeared and instantly killed this rabbit. A three-digit damage appeared instantly, instantly killing the rabbit. ¡°Blue weapons are so terrifying!¡± Just as Mo Xiao was about to go on a killing spree with his spear, a notification sound suddenly rang in his mind, startling him. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Before Mo Xiao could recover, a chat box appeared directly in front of him. Only then did he realize that the game had been perfectly integrated,plete with its own chat program. Jiang He: ¡°Mo Xiao, did you level up just now? Mo Xiao: ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang He: You weren¡¯t here earlier. The teacher said the first person to reach level five would receive a reward from the school. You have to do your best! (^¨Œ^) Mo Xiao: Thank you. ¡°A reward, huh? Looks like I need to speed up.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao lifted his spear and charged into the forest, beginning his hunting journey. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Inside the ssroom office. ¡°Teacher Li, who do you think in our ss will be the first to reach level 5? There are quite a few rare professions this time.¡± Beside Li Xun, a fat man asked with a smile. Li Xun nced at him and took a sip of tea. ¡°Oh? Wang, are you suggesting we ce a bet?¡± Upon hearing this, Teacher Wang shook his head quickly. ¡°Let¡¯s forget it then. The most formidable one in our ss is Jiang He. If I bet against you, you¡¯d take my pants.¡± ¡°An S-rank elven archer is indeed powerful.¡± Li Xun nodded thoughtfully. At this point, as if having thought of something, Teacher Wang suddenly asked, ¡°Is that solo yer in your ss really Mo Xiao?¡± Li Xun nced at Teacher Wang and nodded slightly, his face full of pity. ¡°This kid is really pitiful. Even a low-level skill book can be sold for tens of thousands or even millions now. How can an orphan like him afford the expenses of a solo yer¡­¡± Just as they were sighing, the door of the office suddenly opened. An intern teacher rushed in anxiously. ¡°Teachers, something bad happened! Several mutant monsters have appeared in Leveling Zone East Gate No. 3! Students have already been injured!!¡± ¡°What?! How can mutant monsters appear in the leveling zone?!¡± Upon hearing this, several teachers stood up simultaneously and rushed out of the office without a word. Chapter 4 Wild Boar Lord Boss, Thousand Catties Force, Bow of Stars Outside the base city, in the Wild Boar Forest. ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± -124! Mo Xiao stood on a tree, drew his bow, and nocked an arrow. The armor-piercing arrow whistled through the air, instantly revealing a bright red critical hit damage. ¡°Roar!!!¡± Suddenly, an angry roar of a boar echoed throughout the entire forest. In the next moment, a gigantic wild boar measuring three meters in length and one and a half meters in shoulder height appeared. It rushed out of the forest, ferociously charging towards the location where Mo Xiao was, and forcefully collided with him. ¡°What a huge wild boar! Could it be an elite monster?¡± Looking at the massive wild boar, excitement shed in Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes as he directly used detection on the giant boar. [Wild Boar Lord ¡¤ Boss] HP: 876/1000 Level: LV5 Strength: 100 Agility: 20 Spirit: 5 Endurance: 15 Physique: 15 Skill: Savage Charge (Launches a charge at the target at double speed, with a 50% chance to stun the opponent) Armor-Piercing Power (Passive skill, has a 50% chance to ignore all of the opponent¡¯s armor!) ¡°Oh my god! A boss! This skill is too amazing! 50% chance to ignore all armor!¡± Just as Mo Xiao was shocked by the Wild Boar Boss¡¯s skills, the wild boar viciously crashed into the tree where Mo Xiao was. ¡°Boom!¡± With a thunderous roar, Mo Xiao slipped and fell headfirst. His head mmed into the boar lord¡¯s head. [You bumped the Wild Boar Lord with your head, and the skill Armor-Piercing Power has been copied!] [Due to your peculiar posture, Armor-Piercing Power has evolved into Brutal Power! (Brutal Power: 100% armor-ignorance after activation. Duration: 30 seconds, Cooldown: 60 seconds)] ¡°Ignore armor 100%!¡± Seeing this description, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened instantly. Although it onlysted for 30 seconds, it was a divine skill for monster hunting! Moreover, the cooldown was only one minute, which gave him the opportunity to fight monsters beyond his level! Although shocked, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t forget that he was still standing on the wild boar boss. Without waiting for the wild boar to react, the mystic iron spear appeared instantly. ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± Mo Xiao simultaneously activated both skills and fiercely stabbed the boar¡¯s head several times before quickly distancing himself. -92 -46 -92 ¡°No critical hit? Isn¡¯t this boar¡¯s weakness on its head?¡± Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao quickly switched to his mystic iron bow and took aim at the Wild Boar boss¡¯s rear, shooting several arrows. -92! -92! ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± -184! ¡­ Before the wild boar boss could turn around, several bright red numbers instantly popped out from its backside. ¡°A critical hit on the backside¡­ It really looks painful!¡± Although he said that, Mo Xiao did not show any mercy. He did not give the wild boar a chance to turn around. He relentlessly attacked and instantly depleted the wild boar boss¡¯s health points. Only a wailing sound was heard as the giant wild boar copsed to the ground. [Congrattions on killing the Wild Boar Lord¡¤boss, you gained 300 experience points!] [Congrattions on killing a boss-level monster above your level alone. Reward: 1 bronze treasure chest!] [Congrattions on leveling up! Current level: LV3!] [Lord Fangs*2] [Quality Wild Boar Meat*2] [Bronze Boss Treasure Chest *1] [Violent Ring (Green)*1] [Spirit Fruit*2] As the wild boar lord fell to the ground, a series of messages instantly shed before Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes. Looking at the messages in front of him, Mo Xiao became excited. ¡°So there are additional rewards for soloing a boss above my level! This is so awesome!¡± [Bronze Treasure Chest: Special item rewarded by the heavens to unique achievers. Item with the highest blue level.] [Bronze Boss Treasure Chest: The reward for killing a junior Boss is the item with the highest green level.] Looking at the two chests in front of him, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes suddenly sparkled. ¡°I wonder if these things will be even better after rubbing them¡­¡± Saying that, Mo Xiao directly picked up the bronze treasure chest. [You rubbed the bronze treasure chest, and it upgraded to a silver treasure chest!] [You rubbed the bronze boss treasure chest, and it upgraded to a silver boss chest!] The treasure chests had been upgraded, and the levels that could be obtained had also increased along with their transformation. The highest blue color instantly turned purple, and the green color upgraded to blue as well. As long as his face wasn¡¯t too dark, he would be invincible in this wave. However, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t immediately open the treasure chest. Instead, he quickly inspected the other dropped items. [Berserk Ring (Blue)] Quality: Blue Strength: +10 Critical Hit Rate: +10% Required level: Level 5 Looking at the attributes of the ring, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t hesitate and directly put it on his finger. If others found out about these attributes, they would go crazy trying to snatch it. [Sessful sublimation of Spirit Fruit, obtained one Agility Spirit Fruit.] ¡°Another spirit fruit that permanently increases attribute points. It seems like I need to find a way to get more spirit fruits. They should be quite plentiful.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he opened the character panel and allocated all the avable proficiency points to strength. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV3 (120/1000) ss: Solo yer Strength: 41 (+10) Agility: 27 Spirit: 24 Endurance: 20 Physique: 20 Looking at his attribute panel, Mo Xiao nodded in satisfaction before shifting his gaze to the two shining silver treasure chests. [Silver Treasure Chest opened! Congrattions, you obtained a purple skill book: Violent Strike!] ¡°Violent Strike? What kind of skill is that? Well, whatever, let¡¯s rub it first.¡± Without thinking twice, Mo Xiao rubbed the skill book. [You rubbed the skill book, and the skill Violent Strike upgraded to Frenzy Strike!] [Blue-tier items or higher can be further upgraded.] ¡°What the¡­?¡± Seeing this prompt, Mo Xiao was first stunned, then he rubbed it again. [You rubbed the skill book, and the skill Frenzy Strike upgraded to Thousand Catties Force!] [Thousand Catties Force: Red skill. Each of your attacks has a 20% chance to deal 10 times the damage to the target!] What the h*ll?! Ten times the damage! And a freaking 20% chance! Forget about others! I feel like I¡¯m cheating just by reading it! Can you be any more buggy! It seems that rubbing things really can take me to the pinnacle of life! Thinking this, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes gleamed as he looked at the other treasure chest. Although it had a lower level than the one in his hand, with rubbing, it surely wouldn¡¯t fall far behind! [Silver Treasure Chest opened! Congrattions, you obtained a blue equipment: Bow of the Wind!] [You rubbed the bow of the wind, and it upgraded to the Magic Bow!] [You rubbed the Magic Bow, and it upgraded to the Bow of Stars!] [Bow of Stars] Quality: Orange Attack Power: 80 Attack Range: 300 meters ¨C 500 meters Special Ability: The Bow of Stars harnesses the power of the stars to form arrows without the need for actual arrows. Active Skill: Magic Arrow (Automatically targets enemies for 10 seconds, CD: 120 seconds) ¡°What a powerful weapon. Is this an orange-tier weapon?¡± Chapter 5 Strength Halo, Four-Digit Damage Meanwhile, at the city gate. ¡°Jiang He, are you alright? You don¡¯t seem injured,¡± Li Xun asked Jiang He absentmindedly standing at the school gate. Jiang He shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m fine, but¡­ Mo Xiao hasn¡¯t returned yet.¡± ¡°What?! Where did he go? We¡¯ve already asked all the students in the beginner¡¯s leveling area toe back!¡± Li Xun¡¯s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Did he run out of the leveling area and go to a higher-level map?¡± Jiang He shook her head, her face filled with worry. ¡°I messaged him, but he hasn¡¯t replied yet.¡± Li Xun clenched his teeth and said, ¡°That troublesome kid! Where the hell did he run off to? I¡¯ll contact some friends to find him right away!¡± Although Li Xun was Mo Xiao¡¯s homeroom teacher, he was merely a level 40 practitioner in the Life profession and had no ability to leave the city. He could only fret in the base city. Seeing Li Xun¡¯s appearance, Jiang He, standing by his side, also had a hint of curiosity sh in her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- In the Wild Boar Forest, Mo Xiao was looking at his character panel excitedly. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV3 (120/1000) ss: Solo yer Strength: 41 (+10) Agility: 27 Spirit: 24 Endurance: 20 Physique: 20 Looking at the character panel in front of him, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but feel his eyelids twitch. ¡°Wow, the experience required for leveling up has increased significantly! It¡¯s multiplied by five directly? No wonder leveling up is so difficult.¡± Just as Mo Xiao was pondering, he noticed that his chat window was shing frantically, indicating that someone was messaging him. ¡°¡±Who¡¯s bothering me now? I was too focused on grinding monsters and didn¡¯t even notice.¡± Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao directly opened the chat interface. Jiang He: Mo Xiao, where are you? Teacher Li has sent a group message asking everyone to return to the city. Come back quickly. Jiang He: Why haven¡¯t youe back yet? Advanced mutant monsters have appeared in the leveling area, possibly at the elite level! Come back quickly! Jiang He: Where are you?! Everyone is back! The chat window was almost entirely filled with messages from Jiang He, leaving Mo Xiao stunned. ¡°Advanced mutant elite monsters? Didn¡¯t I already kill that elite rabbit? Could it be another boss? Or did something even more powerful spawn?¡± Mo Xiao frowned and pondered for a moment. He simply replied, ¡°On my way,¡± and immediately turned around to head back to the base city. After all, ording to Jiang He¡¯s description, these so-called mutant elite monsters were probably ridiculously strong. A few minutester, Mo Xiao left the Wild Boar Forest. The leveling area for newbies was not small. In previous years, it would have beenpletely upied by newly-transferred students at this time. However, now there wasn¡¯t a single person here. Clearly, they had been called back by the teachers. With these thoughts, a sense of unease surged in Mo Xiao¡¯s heart. Without any hesitation, he dashed toward the base city at high speed. Just as Mo Xiao crossed half of the leveling area, a towering giant ape, about three meters tall and d in iron armor, suddenly descended from the sky, crashing heavily in front of him. Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils contracted as he saw this, and he quickly took a step back, creating some distance. [Armored Giant Ape]: Mutant Elite HP: 3000/3000 Level: LV15 Strength: ??? Agility: ??? Spirit: ??? Endurance: ??? Physique: ??? Skill: ??? (Exceeds detection level) Apart from its health points and level, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t see anything else about this ape. It was as if all the details were obscured. Looking at the sea of question marks on the panel, Mo Xiao involuntarily swallowed hard. ¡°It really is an advanced mutant monster¡­ No wonder they called everyone back.¡± Just as Mo Xiao was in a daze, the armored giant ape in front of him suddenly let out a roaring growl. And with a fist a fist like a cast-iron pot, it fiercely swung toward Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao quickly lunged forward, dodging the punch. At the same time, the bow of stars instantly appeared in his hand. ¡°Swoosh! Pa!¡± -31 F*ck me? Staring at the ring number, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. He was already Level 3 and an orange-tier weapon. His basic attack should be over 130. Yet, when he shot an arrow, it only deducted 31 points of the ape¡¯s health? Then this ape¡¯s defense was probably 100 points! Based on this attribute, the attack power of this iron-armored ape¡­ It must be in the hundreds, at least! At this time, the armored giant ape seemed to be provoked by Mo Xiao¡¯s attack and raised its massive foot, aiming to kick him hard. Mo Xiao dashed away, despite having 27 points in agility. However, it was clear that it was insufficient against this monster. ¡°Bang!¡± With a dull collision sound, Mo Xiao was instantly kicked away. -190! A bright red number appeared above his head. Luckily, Mo Xiao was already at Level 3, with 300 health points from his 20 points in physique, defense, and base health. Otherwise, that kick would have killed him instantly. Mo Xiao quickly got up and frantically stuffed the carrots he had collected earlier into his mouth. ¡°Damn, this guy is too fierce! That kick almost killed me!¡± [You were violently rubbed by the armored giant ape, and the skill War Encouragement has been copied!] [The armored giant ape¡¯s strike has filled you with great fury! War Encouragement has evolved into Power Halo!] [Power Aura: Unleashes a 10-meter radius aura, granting all teammates within the aura a boost of 30 strength points! Lasts for 10 minutes! Cooldown: 60 minutes!] 30 points of strength! And it was a group buff with a range of 10 meters! And it couldst for 10 minutes! This was definitely an incredible support skill! Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened instantly as he read the information provided by the system. All fears stemmed from insufficient vitality! Power Halo + Brutal Power + Thousand Catties Force. The amplification of these three skills. Combined with the lock-on feature of the bow of stars, he could definitely annihte this creature! With this in mind, Mo Xiao¡¯s thought of escaping vanished instantly. He turned around, swiftly darting past the giant ape¡¯s foot, and created distance between them. ¡°Power Halo!¡± ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Magic Arrow!¡± ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± As soon as Mo Xiao created some distance, he activated the four skills simultaneously. The magic arrow locked onto the armored giant ape. Mo Xiao shot five arrows in a row without even aiming. -322! -161 -161 -161 -1610! Seeing thest number, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes lit up. The thousand catties force was triggered! This was 10 times the damage! ¡°Hey, look! In Zone 1 of the leveling area! It seems like the armored giant ape is fighting someone!¡± ¡°Huh? Fighting? Didn¡¯t everyone retreat to the base city? How could someone be left outside?¡± ¡°Are you seeing things? The high-level professionals haven¡¯t even arrived yet.¡± ¡°No, wait! That¡¯s Mo Xiao! The solo yer!¡± ¡°What the h*ll! Look at the damage!¡± ¡°Oh my god! 1,600?!¡± Chapter 6 Explosive Damage! Mom! Come Out and See, My God! ¡°This is insane! A damage of 1,600! Are you kidding me?!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll report it! Someone is cheating!¡± ¡°He¡¯s definitely not Mo Xiao! He must be an advanced professional!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Absolutely!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Definitely! He¡¯s just a solo yer. How can he deal such high damage!¡± ¡°But he really looks like Brother Xiao. Maybe Brother Xiao is opening up the correct way for solo yers?¡± ¡°Impossible! Absolutely impossible!¡± Just as everyone was fiercely, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded, instantly silencing everyone. ¡°He is Mo Xiao. Can¡¯t you use detection techniques to see it?¡± Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao in the No. 1 leveling zone, with joy on her face. It was unclear whether she was happy that Mo Xiao was still alive or because of Mo Xiao¡¯s strength. Upon hearing Jiang He¡¯s words, everyone fell silent. Their expressions became uglier, one after another. Mo Xiao naturally had no idea what they were talking about. The few arrows he had shot earlier had already reduced the armored giant ape¡¯s health to less than one-fourth. As long as the brutality was not over, a few more arrows would be enough to deal with this clumsy giant ape directly. Mo Xiao looked at the enraged the armored giant ape, without hesitation, he picked up the bow of stars again. He aimed directly at its angry red eyes. ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± -6,440!!! Immediately, a huge red number popped up directly from the Armored Giant Ape. ¡°Oh my god! 6,440!!! Is he still human?!¡± ¡°What kind of monster are we dealing with¡­¡± ¡°Mom¡­e out and see, my God¡­¡± ¡°I must be seeing things, it must be my eyes ying tricks on me! Ahahaha!¡± ¡°Teacher! I¡¯m reporting! Mo Xiao is cheating!!! Ban his ount quickly!!¡± This terrifying damage, not to mention these neers who just changed professions today, even the second-ss professionals may not be able to inflict such a high amount of damage on the armored giant ape. Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao not far away, her mouth slightly open, incredibly dumbfounded. After a while, Jiang He covered her mouth and smiled. ¡°I even called Uncle toe and help, but it seems that he can clear all these elite monsters by himself.¡± At this moment, in the leveling zone, Mo Xiao was excitedly touching the corpses with a satisfied expression on his face. [Congrattions on defeating the armored giant ape beyond your level! You have gained 3,000 experience points!] [Congrattions on leveling up! Current level: 4! All attributes increased by 5 points, and you have gained 10 points of free attributes!] [Congrattions on leveling up! Current level: 5! All attributes increased by 5 points, and you have gained 10 points of free attributes!] [Congrattions on defeating the Mutant Elite, you have obtained a Silver Treasure Chest!] [Obtained Giant Ape Bone*2] [Obtained Great Ape Fur*2] [Obtained Elite Storage Bag*1] [Obtained two Blood Qi Fruits, using them permanently increases your physique by two points.] Looking at the system information in front of him, Mo Xiao¡¯s face was filled with excitement, wishing he could sit here and savor these rewards. However, at this moment, Jiang He¡¯s cry suddenly rang in Mo Xiao¡¯s ears. ¡°Mo Xiao, run quickly!!!¡± Upon hearing the voice, Mo Xiao was initially stunned and quickly looked up. Suddenly, he noticed that four different-shaped giant monsters had appeared not far away from him. Each one had a higher level and more health than the previous Giant Armored Ape. Setting aside whether Mo Xiao could defeat them or not, just the first wave of attacks from these four monsters, he might not even be able to dodge them. Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao¡¯s scalp tingled with fear. Just as Mo Xiao was dazed, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. With a smile on his face, he looked at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°Kid, I saw your performance just now, not bad. I¡¯ll take care of these four guys.¡± Mo Xiao was also stunned when he heard the voice and instinctively turned his head to look at the neer. It was a handsome middle-aged man whom Mo Xiao had never seen before, but between his eyebrows and eyes, Mo Xiao felt a very familiar sensation, as if he had seen him somewhere before. [Attribute panel] Name: ??? Level: ??? Others: ??? Mo Xiao directly used a detection technique on the man, but the panel in front of him left him dumbfounded. With the previous armored giant ape, he could at least detect its name and health. But this man¡¯s panel was just a bunch of question marks. How high was his level? Seemingly aware of Mo Xiao¡¯s Detection Art, the man smiled slightly and lightly patted Mo Xiao¡¯s shoulder, saying, ¡°I¡¯m Jiang Shan, Jiang He¡¯s uncle. After I finish off these guys, we¡¯ll have a good chat.¡± [Jiang Shan rubbed against you, S-Rank talent Lightning Speed has been copied!] [Jiang Shan rubbed against you. Grade S talent Lightning Wind has been replicated!] [Lightning Speed: S-Rank talent, Agility +50 points, additional 5 points of Agility per level, 20% increase in evasion rate!] ¡°Damn¡­¡± Seeing this talent, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened instantly. It seemed that this Jiang Shan in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person. Just this kind of talent was beyond what ordinary professionals could possess! Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s stunned expression, Jiang Shan smiled lightly and then turned into a white light, rushing out. Before Mo Xiao could regain his senses, all four monsters fell to the ground simultaneously. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s return to the base city. Little He is waiting for us.¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan and then at the fallen elite monsters, and curiously asked, ¡°Are you¡­ an assassin?¡± Jiang Shan nced at Mo Xiao, thought for a moment, and said directly, ¡°Not exactly, but close enough.¡± After that, Jiang Shan grabbed Mo Xiao¡¯s shoulder and, as if teleporting, instantly rushed into the base city. ¡°Little He~ I¡¯m here! Did I live up to your expectations this time?¡± As soon as he returned to the base city, Jiang Shan ran to Jiang He with a smug expression to im credit. ¡°Not bad, right?¡± Jiang He seemed uninterested in Jiang Shan. Instead, went straight to Mo Xiao¡¯s side, anxiously assessing his condition. ¡°Mo Xiao, are you alright? My uncle didn¡¯t hurt you, did he?¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey! I went to save him, not to kill him! How could I hurt him!¡± Jiang Shan retorted, closing his mouth. When Jiang He heard this, she turned around and red at Jiang Shan. Jiang Shan immediately shut up. ¡°Do you feel ufortable anywhere? If you do, just let my unclepensate you. He¡¯s got money!¡± Hearing this, Jiang Shan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He and gently shook his head: ¡°I¡¯m fine, thank you¡± When Jiang He heard this, she smiled slightly and said softly, ¡°That¡¯s good. We¡¯re ssmates. There¡¯s no need to be polite.¡± Before Mo Xiao could say anything more, a group of people rushed towards him. ¡°Brother Xiao!!! Did you really deal 6,000 damage just now?! That¡¯s so awesome!!!¡± ¡°Big boss Mo Xiao! Do you want an underling? I can serve tea and pour water for you!¡± ¡°Brother Xiao~ Do you need a girlfriend? I can warm your bed~~¡± ¡°Damn! Get lost! You look like a dinosaur! Why would Brother Xiao like you!¡± ¡°Brother Xiao! How did you do it?! Aren¡¯t you just a solo yer!¡± Listening to the bustling discussions around him, Mo Xiao frowned. Meanwhile, Jiang He stood by, covering her mouth and chuckling, seemingly satisfied with the current situation. Chapter 7 The Golden Treasure Chest Mo Xiao looked at the chattering crowd beside him. The veins on his temples couldn¡¯t help but throb. Without thinking, he pushed aside the onlookers and gave them a cold nce, instantly silencing everyone. Seeing everyone shut up, Mo Xiao let out a sigh of relief. He slowly walked to Jiang He. Awkwardly, he looked in another direction and said, ¡°Thank you, consider this as a token of gratitude.¡± Before Jiang He could say anything, Mo Xiao directly handed her a fruit and a longbow. ¡°A green-tier mystic iron bow? Seems pretty good¡­¡± Jiang He looked at the mystic iron bow in her hand with some surprise. ¡°Wow! A spiritual fruit that permanently increases attributes?! Is he really this generous? He¡¯s giving it to you?¡± At that moment, a figure rushed to Jiang He¡¯s side, his expression suddenly changing, and he asked seriously: ¡°Could it be that this guy has taken a liking to you?¡± Hearing this, Jiang He¡¯s face blushed slightly, and she weakly shook her head, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. His initial weapon was a gift from me. He¡¯s just returning the favor.¡± ¡°You gave it to him? That¡¯s not possible, right? The bow he was using before was an orange-tier weapon!¡± Jiang Shan eximed in surprise. ¡°Orange-tier? Maybe he got lucky and looted it from a monster. Uncle, you know about the situation in the Mo family, don¡¯t you?¡± Jiang He asked with furrowed brows. As soon as the words ¡°Mo family¡± were mentioned, Jiang Shan¡¯s expression instantly changed. ¡°I see¡­ so that¡¯s how it is.¡± Meanwhile, Mo Xiao casually found a corner and excitedly rubbed the loot dropped by the mutant elite from earlier. [You rubbed the Giant Ape Bone, and it sublimated into Hardened Giant Ape Bone (can be used for crafting blue-quality weapons and equipment)!] [You rubbed the Giant Ape Fur, and it sublimated into Sturdy Giant Ape Fur (can be used for crafting blue-tier weapons and equipment)!] [You rubbed the Fruit of Vitality, and it sublimated into the Beginner Physique Fruit (permanently increases physique by five points!)!] [You rubbed the Silver Treasure Chest, and it sublimated into the Golden Treasure Chest!] ¡°Increase by five points! I hope the drop rate of the Spirit Fruit isn¡¯t too low. I need to find a way to collect more of these!¡± Mo Xiao was very satisfied as he stuffed the Physique Fruit into his mouth, his gaze fixed on the Golden Treasure Chest in front of him. Mo Xiao had no interest in materials for crafting equipment since he wasn¡¯t a cksmith. [Golden Treasure Chest unlocked! Congrattions, you obtained the Lucky Medal!] ¡°Hmm? What is the Lucky Medal?¡± [Lucky Medal: When worn, you feel very lucky, with a chance to increase the base drop rate.] ¡°Increase the base drop rate? It doesn¡¯t seem very useful, does it?¡± Mo Xiao murmured. ¡°Anyway, let me rub it first.¡± If anyone else heard him say this, it would definitely provoke their anger. It should be noted that in this world fused with the game, besides experience gain, the drop rate determines the speed of bing stronger. [You rubbed the Lucky Medal, and it sublimated into the Plunder Medal!] [Plunder Medal: Increases drop rate by 10%! If a monster has special items, they will definitely drop!] ¡°Definitely drop?! That¡¯s amazing!¡± Upon seeing these four words, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes instantly lit up. Although Mo Xiao wasn¡¯t sure about the specifics of this world, based on his years of gaming experience! In the future, if there were quests or something, they would definitely require collecting specific items. Without wasting any time, Mo Xiao quickly equipped the medal and opened the character panel. After all, gaining two levels in a row, some adjustments to the attributes were necessary. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV5 (0/7000) ss: Solo yer Strength: 51 (+10) = 61 Agility: 37 (+50) = 87 Spirit: 34 Endurance: 30 Physique: 35 Avable attribute points: 20 points Skills: Equipment Mastery, Skill Mastery, Thunderfall, Between the Hurricanes, Full Force Strike, Savage Power, Thousand Catties Force. Talents: Just a Rub, Advanced Reaction Enhancement, Lightning Speed. ¡°It seems with Lightning Speed, I don¡¯t need to worry about agility anymore,¡± Mo Xiao said, satisfied with his panel. As he spoke, Mo Xiao added 10 attribute points to Strength. The remaining 10 points were evenly distributed to Spirit and Endurance. Saying that, Mo Xiao allocated ten attribute points to strength, and the remaining 10 points were evenly distributed between spirit and endurance. Although spirit represented magical power, it seemed to have little use for him at the moment since none of his current skills, except for Hurricane Arrow, required mana consumption. But Mo Xiao was, after all, a solo yer, and magic would definitely be present in the future! It was better to be prepared. ¡°I wonder if I can leave the city now to level up.¡± Mo Xiao slowly got up after organizing his equipment. Just as he was contemting what to do next, a nauseatingly familiar voice sounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s ears once again. ¡°Well, well, well, if it isn¡¯t our S-ss job holder, Mo Xiao! Why are you hiding in a ce like this?¡± Hearing the voice, Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze turned slightly cold as he looked up and saw Su Wei apanied by two unfamiliar men. From the situation, it seemed that Su Wei had hired bodyguards to help him level up. Mo Xiao nced at him and calmly said, ¡°A good dog doesn¡¯t block the way.¡± ¡°What did you say!¡± Hearing this, Su Wei¡¯s expression suddenly changed and he said angrily. ¡°I told you to get lost,¡± Mo Xiao said very calmly. Seeing Mo Xiao like this, Su Wei immediately yelled in exasperation. ¡°Say that again if you have the guts! I¡¯m a lightning mage! Say that again if you dare! Believe me, I¡¯ll strike you down with lightning!¡± ¡°Pointless,¡± Mo Xiao sighed and nced disdainfully at Su Wei, no longer paying attention to the three of them. With a shoulder push, he directly knocked Su Wei aside. With a strength value of seventy, Su Wei was no match for him. As Mo Xiao walked away, Su Wei stomped his feet in anger, while the two men beside him shifted their gazes to the bow of stars on Mo Xiao¡¯s back. Just as Su Wei was about to chase after him, the two men suddenly stopped him. ¡°What are you doing? How dare you stop me!¡± Su Wei angrily shouted. The two men quickly shook their heads and said, ¡°Young Master, with your current level, you¡¯re no match for him at all.¡± ¡°What?! I¡¯m a Lord of Magic!! And the highest damaging lightning mage! He¡¯s just a solo yer!! He doesn¡¯t even have any skills!! Why am I not his match?!¡± Su Wei was on the verge of exploding when he heard the two men¡¯s words. He angrily yelled, ¡°Even you two dare to turn against me! Believe me, I¡¯ll deduct your sries!¡± ¡°Please calm down, Young Master. It¡¯s not that we¡¯re turning against you,¡± the two men quickly reassured with bitter smiles. ¡°It¡¯s just that, look at the bow on his back. That¡¯s an orange-tier weapon!¡± On hearing this, Su Wei was initially stunned, then widened his eyes in disbelief and eximed, ¡°What?! An orange-tier weapon?!!! That¡¯s impossible!¡± Chapter 8 Power, Family, and College Entrance Examination Hundreds of years ago, after the game fused with reality, the world fell into chaos. In order to protect the survival of the human race, countless advanced professionals among the humans defeated endless monsters. On the expandednd, they established base cities resembling fortresses, protecting children who had not yet changed professions and some professionals in the lifestyle category. Although the world had beenpletely gamified, the base cities still retained their originalmercial districts. However, the currentmercial district was now an area exclusively for professionals. Almost all professionals woulde here to buy and sell things. Although Mo Xiao had never been to this ce before, ording to the directions on the map, it wasn¡¯t difficult to find. ¡°Come and have a look! Freshly baked buns!¡± ¡°We buy all kinds of forging materials! Our prices will satisfy you!¡± ¡­ As soon as Mo Xiao entered themercial district, it felt as if he had stepped into a market from a past life. It was filled with the cries of lifestyle professionals everywhere. ¡°Young man, judging by your age, you must be a new recruit of this year¡¯s profession specialization! I have many beginner weapons here. How about picking a couple?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was standing in ce, looking around, a passionate voice suddenly called out to him. ¡°These are all crafted by me! I am the best cksmith in this area!¡± The person introduced himself with excitement. Mo Xiao turned towards the voice and saw a middle-aged man wearing goggles, looking at him with a smile on his face. ¡°And who might you be?¡± ¡°I¡¯m the cksmith here. You can call me Uncle Tang!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao confirmed that he did not know this person. ¡°I don¡¯t need weapons¡­¡± Before Mo Xiao could finish his sentence, Uncle Tang continued, ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t reject so quickly! You may not need weapons, but you still need equipment! Look, you don¡¯t even have a breastte! Tell me your profession, and I¡¯ll get you a set!¡± ¡°A breastte?¡± Mo Xiao nced at himself upon hearing this and indeed realized that he didn¡¯t have any equipment except for weapons and essories. However, even so, Mo Xiao still didn¡¯t need it. After all, now that he had the rings of plunder, he wasn¡¯t afraid of not getting equipment drops at all. ¡°No need, I actually have some materials. I don¡¯t know if you¡¯re interested in buying them.¡± ¡°Materials? Aren¡¯t the rabbits in the leveling area not dropping materials? You didn¡¯t go to the Wild Boar Forest, did you¡­¡± Before Uncle Tang could finish his sentence, Mo Xiao directly ced a giant ape bone in front of him. Uncle Tang was about to speak again but was instantly stunned. ¡°Holy cow!!! A giant ape bone?! This is the material for crafting blue-grade equipment!! Where did you get this?!¡± ¡°Just a material for crafting blue-tier equipment, it¡¯s not that rare, right?¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. Embarrassed, Uncle Tang scratched his head and said, ¡°It seems you really are a newly specialized person. You don¡¯t know about this, huh?¡± ¡°?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s puzzled expression, Uncle Tang exined directly, ¡°Actually, the people who set up stalls in this ce are ordinary folks without the support of families or power. They can only earn some money from neers like you. ¡°So, it¡¯s notmon to find blue-tier materials and equipment here. Those who have the support of families and power will have their advanced cksmiths craft blue-grade or higher materials for them. It¡¯s a safer approach.¡± Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡­¡± ¡°You may just be starting out as professionals, but once your potential is demonstrated, there will naturally be forces trying to recruit you,¡± Uncle Tang continued, ¡°Or if you feel confident in your abilities, you can participate in the college entrance examination. If you truly stand out, then all the forces in the world will be fighting to get you!¡± ¡°Understood, thank you.¡± ¡°Ah, these are allmon knowledge. If you want to thank me, just buy something from me,¡± Uncle Tang said nonchntly, ¡°As for the blue-tier materials you have, it¡¯s better to save them for crafting better equipment in the future. I don¡¯t have the ability for that. If you have things like wild boar tusks, you can give them to me. I can still make use of those.¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao put away the giant ape bone and then took out a pair of wild boar tusks and a pair of Lord¡¯s tusks. ¡°Can these work?¡± ¡°Damn it! Lord¡¯s tusks?! Are you really a neer?!¡± Uncle Tang widened his eyes again as he looked at the huge Lord¡¯s tusks on the table. These were items that only dropped when defeating the Wild Boar Lord! Mo Xiao tilted his head. ¡°Is there something wrong with me specializing just an hour ago?¡± ¡°Boss! Please give me an autograph!¡± Upon hearing this, Uncle Tang rushed out from behind his stall, his face filled with anticipation. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°You specialized just an hour ago and can already kill boss-level monsters! I¡¯m sure of it! You will definitely be a hero in our Dragon Country!¡± Uncle Tang said with utmost certainty, ¡°Just leave me an autograph, and I¡¯ll craft equipment for you using these Lord¡¯s tusks for free, how about that? ¡°I¡¯m not bragging! The tusk dagger and tusk sword are the best weapons I can craft. If I use Lord-level tusks, I can even create blue-tier equipment!¡± Mo Xiao scratched his head, and a faint blush appeared on his face. ¡°Isn¡¯t that too much?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with it! Consider it as me investing in you!¡± Uncle Tang chuckled and somehow produced a piece of paper, which he handed to Mo Xiao. Under Uncle Tang¡¯s burning gaze, Mo Xiao blushed but still signed his name. ¡°Then give me the sword.¡± ¡°Hehehe! Thanks a lot! I¡¯ll start crafting it for you! It¡¯ll be ready in half an hour!¡± Uncle Tang quickly took the autograph, handling it with great care, and excitedly returned to his stall. Mo Xiao looked at the excited Uncle Tang and couldn¡¯t help but smile helplessly. He nced around and asked, ¡°By the way, Uncle Tang, do you know where I can buy spirit fruits?¡± ¡°Spirit fruits?¡± Uncle Tang lifted his head and nced at Mo Xiao. ¡°Spirit fruits only provide a slight increase in attributes andst for 10 minutes. They¡¯re not very significant. ¡°But if you need them, go check the stall at the very back. I remember they have quite a few spirit fruits, selling them as fruits.¡± Uncle Tang said directly. ¡°Are there many?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. Uncle Tang shrugged nomittally. ¡°Plenty, I¡¯m sure there are hundreds. I heard he discovered a secret realm full of spirit fruits. Rumor has it that besides the spirit fruit trees, there are also treasures inside that permanently increase attributes! ¡°Whether it¡¯s true or not, I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Thank you, Uncle Tang. I got it, I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± ¡°Go ahead. Oh, if you have any unwanted carrots or something, you can sell them to him. He¡¯ll buy them.¡± With that, Uncle Tang didn¡¯t pay any more attention to Mo Xiao and focused on crafting the tusk longsword. Soon, Mo Xiao walked briskly to the stall selling spirit fruits. ¡°Spirit fruits, two for 10 dors, no bargaining.¡± ¡°¡±Boss, can you tell me where the secret realm full of spirit fruits is?¡± As soon as Mo Xiao asked this, the stall owner, who had been lying on a recliner, slowly opened his eyes. ¡°A solo yer? Orange-tier weapon?!¡± Chapter 9 The First SSS-Grade Talent! Power of the Fire God! Seeing that the stall owner had directly called out his profession, Mo Xiao immediately used a detection technique and rushed towards the stall owner. [Attribute panel] Name: ??? Level: ??? Others: ??? ¡°?!¡± Mo Xiao was surprised. He couldn¡¯t detect any information about this stall owner at all. It was understandable with Jiang Shan before; he looked like a powerfulbat professional. But why would this fruit vendor be so powerful that he couldn¡¯t detect his attributes? ¡°Don¡¯t bother looking, you can¡¯t figure it out.¡± The stall owner let out a yawn and slowly closed his eyes. Mo Xiao frowned, no longer dwelling on it, and continued, ¡°May I ask, senior, can you tell me the location of that secret realm?¡± The stall owner nced at Mo Xiao and then rubbed his three fingers together. ¡°Information also costs money.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Do you ept materials and equipment as payment?¡± ¡°I do, but I only ept blue-tier or higher. If you don¡¯t have them, get lost.¡± ¡°Fine.¡± Without saying a word, Mo Xiao directly took out all the materials dropped by the armored giant ape. ¡°Are these enough?¡± Mo Xiao said, taking out a long spear as well. ¡°If not, I can add this spear too.¡± The stall owner looked over and was stunned. ¡°Mutant elite materials. Where did you get them, kid?¡± At this moment, the stall owner also sat up from the recliner and sized up the young man in front of him curiously. Mo Xiao replied matter-of-factly, ¡°Drops from monster hunting.¡± ¡°Interesting¡­¡± The stall owner grinned. ¡°Kid, are you selling that bow? ¡°As long as you sell it, not only will I give you money at the market price, but I¡¯ll also find someone to bring you to that secret realm to level up. How about that?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao shook his head and refused without hesitation. ¡°Hahaha, I thought so too. A first-tier orange weapon is even rarer than a third-tier orange weapon.¡± The stall ownerughed and continued. ¡°I¡¯ll take these things. Let¡¯s trade directly.¡± Without waiting for Mo Xiao to speak, a special trading panel appeared right in front of him. On the other side, a staggering sum of $190,000 was already disyed. ¡°$190,000?¡± The stall owner nced at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°That¡¯s quite a sum. The market price for a blue-tier weapon is only $100,000. Your equipmentes with an additional skill, so $150,000 is a reasonable price. ¡°These materials are of good quality too. I can give you $50,000, which is more than fair. Deducting the $10,000, consider it as the price for the secret realm information. It¡¯s already quite a favorable deal.¡± Mo Xiao nodded, ¡°Then, how many spirit fruits do you have? I¡¯ll take them all.¡± ¡°They¡¯re worthless. I¡¯ll give them to you for free.¡± With that, the stall owner directly collected all the spirit fruits and ced them on the trading panel. Seeing this, Mo Xiao also hurriedly ced the materials and the mystic iron spear on it to confirm the deal. [You have obtained 40 spirit fruits.] After the transaction waspleted, the stall owner sent a string of numbers to Mo Xiao. ¡°These are the coordinates of that secret realm. Input them into your map, and you¡¯ll be able to see it. But don¡¯t me me if you die inside. It¡¯s a level 20 secret realm.¡± ¡°Thank you, Senior. I hope I can find you again next time.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao seemed to have remembered something and extended his hand to the stall owner. Seeing this, the stall owner raised his eyebrows slightly, casually shook Mo Xiao¡¯s hand, and theny back down without saying another word. [You rubbed against Zhuge Song, and you have sessfully copied the SSS-level talent, Power of the Fire God!] Power of the Fire God?! What kind of person is this uncle who sells fruits?? Just the name of this talent is extraordinary! Mo Xiao instinctively swallowed a gulp of saliva, turned his head, and walked away, eager to study this Power of the Fire God. [Power of the Fire God: SSS-level fire-type talent. All your attacks will inflict fire damage and burn. The power of all your fire-type skills increases by 1,000%. You are immune to all fire-type damage. All fire-type skills you learn will automatically increase by one level. There is a certain chance of directlyprehending fire-type skills released in front of you.] ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the description of the Power of the Fire God, Mo Xiao was instantly dumbfounded. Putting aside the 1,000% increase in power and immunity to fire damage, just thest ability of directlyprehending others¡¯ fire-type skills was already unbelievably strong. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t have any fire-element skills right now. Otherwise, mybat strength would definitely increase several times over.¡± Mo Xiao shook his head with regret and looked at Uncle Tang, who was still crafting weapons. He took out the spirit fruits from his backpack. One by one, he rubbed them. His luck was quite good. Out of the 40 spirit fruits, 22 of them were Strength spirit fruits, with five each for Endurance, Constitution, and Spirit. Surprisingly, there wasn¡¯t a single one for Agility, as if they knew about Mo Xiao¡¯s talent, Lightning Speed. Just as Mo Xiao finished eating all the spirit fruits and felt too full to move, Uncle Tang¡¯s voice rang out at the perfect moment. ¡°Young man! I¡¯ve finished crafting the weapon. Come over and see if you¡¯re satisfied or not!¡± ¡°Coming.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he quickly walked back to Uncle Tang¡¯s stall. [Fangtooth Longsword] Quality: Blue Attack Power: 55 Durability: 500/500 Required level: Level 5 ¡°Here it is! Young man, take a look! This is the best weapon I¡¯ve crafted recently! Although the level requirement is a bit high for you now, you should be able to reach it soon!¡± Uncle Tang looked very satisfied with the sword in his hand. ¡°How much?¡± Mo Xiao nodded, directly epting the longsword and asked. Uncle Tang waved his hand and said generously, ¡°I told you, it¡¯s an investment in you! It¡¯s free!¡± Mo Xiao looked at Uncle Tang in front of him and didn¡¯t say anything more. ¡°Thanks, then I won¡¯t be polite.¡± ¡°No need to be polite! Level up well! I¡¯m waiting for you to be the most badass professional!¡± Uncle Tang gave Mo Xiao a thumbs-up, his face full of generosity. Mo Xiao nodded lightly, turned around and left the business district, heading towards the city gate. On the way, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t idle either. He took out the previous longsword and started rubbing it again. [You rubbed the Fangtooth Longsword, and the Fangtooth Longsword transformed into the Pig King Longsword!] [You rubbed the Pig King Longsword, and the Pig King Longsword transformed into the Lord¡¯s Longsword!] The Fangtooth Longsword was a blue-tier weapon that could be rubbed twice, allowing it to undergo two transformations. In other words, for Mo Xiao, a blue-tier weapon was equivalent to an orange-tier weapon, with no difference at all. [Lord¡¯s Longsword] Quality: Blue Attack Power: 105 Critical Strike: 5% Durability: 5000/5000 Lord¡¯s Aura: Active skill that instills fear in monsters within a five-meter radius, causing them to move away from you. Blood Drinking: Converts 10% of damage into self-healing. [Equipment Level: 5] ¡°Indeed, these orange-tier weapons are truly more extraordinary than thest. Even a Level 5 orange-tier weapon is so terrifying.¡± Looking at the longsword in his hand, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Suddenly, a message echoed in his mind. [The crisis in the leveling area has been resolved. All new profession-transfer students, please gather in your respective ssroom] Hearing this news, Mo Xiao furrowed his brows slightly: ¡°Gather in the ssrooms? Could something big have happened?¡± Chapter 10 The School¡¯s Arrangement, Random Skill Book Dragon Country, Yicheng Base City. Inside the Lord¡¯s office, four middle-aged men were sitting around the desk discussing something. ¡°What do you think? It¡¯s impossible for mutant elite monsters to appear in the newbie leveling area for no reason, right? There must be a problem here.¡± ¡°Why worry! If they dare toe, we¡¯ll beat the crap out of them! Kill them all!¡± ¡°You¡¯re just eager to kill. If the beast tide project reallyes, the leveling of the neers will be dyed again. We have to protect the neers, and it¡¯s going to be troublesome.¡± ¡­ ¡°Jiang Shan, stop pretending. After all, you¡¯re the deputy city lord. Does your Jiang family have any information? Didn¡¯t you go to the newbie area just now? Did you find any problems?¡± As they quieted down, the leading Lord turned his gaze directly to the silent Jiang Shan. ¡°I would rather return to the frontline battle in the Tianyuan Battlefield than be the deputy city lord.¡± Jiang Shan rubbed his temples with a headache. ¡°I only know one thing: mutant elite monsters have appeared not only in our base city but in almost every base city, and their levels are not high.¡± When the city lord heard this, he instantly frowned. ¡°In every base city? What is this all about?¡± Jiang Shan nced at the city lord and said in a low voice, ¡°Unless something unexpected happens, an ident will happen.¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Ten minutester, at the First High School. Mo Xiao walked calmly into the noisy ssroom. As soon as he entered the door, the noise instantly quieted down, and everyone¡¯s eyes focused on Mo Xiao. Before Mo Xiao could react, the whole ssroom erupted into an even louder noise. In an instant, more than half of the people ran towards Mo Xiao, leaving only a few confused individuals sitting in their seats. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s going on? What did Mo Xiao do? What¡¯s happening? Is someone going to attack him?¡± ¡°Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Just now in the leveling area, Mo Xiao defeated that mutant elite armored giant ape!¡± ¡°What?!¡± ¡°And not only that! He dealt 6,000 damage! He¡¯s like a god among men!¡± ¡°F*ck! Is this for real?! Is this solo yer really that awesome?¡± ¡°Anyone who dares to call solo yers trash from now on, I¡¯ll have a problem with them!¡± ¡°No way! I must get Brother Xiao to take me with him!!¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you to back off! Brother Xiao is mine!¡± ¡­ Listening to the chatter around him, Mo Xiao felt overwhelmed. At that moment, Li Xun also entered the ssroom. The group of students instinctively shut their mouths and returned to their seats. Although they had all changed professions, which was equivalent to graduating as adults, they still had an inherent fear of Li Xun, their homeroom teacher. Seeing the crowd dispersing, Li Xun finally noticed Mo Xiao, who was surrounded by people, and smiled. ¡°So, how does it feel to be a star? Not bad, right?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched slightly at the words and he shook his head directly. ¡°I still prefer being alone¡­¡± ¡°Well, that might not be possible for you.¡± Li Xun hinted, ¡°Go back to your seat, I have something to say.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Seeing Mo Xiao return to his seat, Li Xun cleared his throat slightly. ¡°Ahem, first of all, I congratte everyone again for sessfully changing your professions. You can now begin your new lives. ¡°Originally, if you sessfully change your profession, it¡¯s equivalent to graduating, and we shouldn¡¯t continue to waste time talking to you. ¡°But today, something unpleasant happened. ¡°You¡¯re all newbies who have just changed professions. For your safety, we must convey information to you! ¡°This is the school¡¯s responsibility and our responsibility to you!¡± Listening to Li Xun¡¯s usual lengthy discourse, everyone rolled their eyes. ¡°Teacher, just get straight to the point! We already know all this!¡± Li Xun, feeling embarrassed, cleared his throat twice. ¡°Ahem, sorry, it¡¯s a habit¡­ ¡°First of all! You should all know, and if you don¡¯t, you should have heard something! ¡°That is, there are mutant elite monsters above level 15 appearing outside the city! ording to reliable information, these monsters have appeared not only outside our base city. ¡°They have appeared outside all the base cities. We brought you all back to ensure your safety. ¡°Even so, more than a dozen people have died at the hands of these elite monsters. ¡°This also indicates that something big might happen in the world again!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone in the ss was stunned and started whispering among themselves. ¡°So, to ensure your safety, the higher-ups have decided! From now on, you must form teams to level up!¡± As soon as Li Xun said this, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyelids suddenly twitched, and he suddenly felt countless gazes locking onto him. Li Xun noticed this and smiled slightly, saying immediately, ¡°As for the grouping, we¡¯ll discuss itter. Now, let¡¯s continue with the second matter. ¡°As I mentioned before, whoever reaches Level 5 first in our ss will receive a reward. The faster, the better the reward! ¡°Now I¡¯ll cash in the reward.¡± With that statement, the ssroom erupted once again. ¡°What?! Someone already reached level five! We only went out to level up for an hour! Even if it¡¯s Xiao, he only trained for an extra twenty minutes! I don¡¯t believe it!! This is absolutely impossible!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Even Xiao couldn¡¯t have done it! Unless he was apanied by a big shot to the advanced area for monster grinding!¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s Su Wei or Jiang He? Su Wei has two level 20 bodyguards with him!¡± When Su Wei heard this, he suddenly realized that countless jealous gazes were focused on him. ¡°Hey hey hey! Don¡¯t look at me! Even with bodyguards, I¡¯m only at level three and a half! If someone is at level five, it must be that freak, Mo Xiao!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget, he killed a Level 15 mutant elite!¡± As soon as Su Wei said this, everyone realized that killing monsters above their level gave more experience, let alone killing a mutant elite. Seeing everyone¡¯s gazes turn towards him, Mo Xiao naturally didn¡¯t conceal anything and directly disyed his attribute panel. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV5 (0/7000) ss: Solo yer Strength: 83 (+10) Agility: 37 (+50) Spirit: 44 Endurance: 40 Physique: 40 ¡°Damn! He really reached level five! Xiao, you¡¯re not really cheating, are you!¡± ¡°Damn! Xiao, your attributes are ridiculously high! Humanoid elite monster?!¡± Beside the podium, Li Xun looked at the inhuman attribute panel, also feeling somewhat astonished. After all, this was indeed too high for a level 5 novice. ¡°Alright, Mo Xiao,e and receive your reward. Our school really went all out this time.¡± [You have obtained a Random Skill Book (Green): You can randomly obtain a green-tier skill book.] Chapter 11 Nested Doll! Green Skill Book? No! It¡¯s Red! ¡°A random skill book?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the things in his backpack and said in surprise. As everyone knew, skill books were the rarest things in this world. Even a white skill book could be sold for 500 to 600,000 dragon coins. After all, the drop rate for these things was really low. Although random skill books were slightly cheaper, even so, a green random skill book could fetch a price of over a million. Although a ce like the school might notck this bit of money, it was indeed a generous reward for a level five neer. ¡°Yes, the school knows you are a solo yer, and the source of skills is a big problem, so they discussed and decided to give you this.¡± Li Xun smiled and patted Mo Xiao on the shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t let the school down, okay?¡± ¡°Yeah, thanks, teacher.¡± Mo Xiao nodded calmly. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Xun. Before he could ask, Li Xun directly said, ¡°The next issue is about forming teams. Everyone has to form teams, it¡¯s a mandatory requirement of the school!¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao instantly understood why Li Xun stopped him. Since enrolling, he had always been a lone wolf. Even when the school belle Jiang He took the initiative to approach him, she couldn¡¯t get close to him. Clearly, this requirement of the school would be something he would reject, and he might even try to run away secretly. ¡°Can¡¯t I not form a team?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Li Xun with some helplessness. Li Xun, with an expressionless face, said, ¡°You brat, don¡¯t even think about running away. Forming a team this time is a task arranged by the school, all for your safety. Don¡¯t make things difficult for me!¡± ¡°For me¡­ I¡¯m safer alone.¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself, but under Li Xun¡¯s intimidating presence, he ultimately didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Alright, stop wasting time. Just pick someone to team up with. With your current abilities, I bet everyone would be fighting to be on your team,¡± Li Xun continued. ¡°Or how about Jiang He? You two seem to get along well,¡± Li Xun suggested. As soon as Li Xun said that, Jiang He¡¯s beautiful eyes instantly lit up with anticipation. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He, whose eyes were sparkling nearby, and felt conflicted in his heart. Just then, Su Wei¡¯s voice suddenly echoed in the ssroom, ¡°Mo Xiao! How about teaming up with my people?¡± His words stunned the whole ss. ¡°Aren¡¯t you an idiot? Everyone knows you and Mo Xiao have the worst rtionship. You want him to team up with you?¡± someone eximed. Su Wei nced at the others with disdain and said directly, ¡°Listen carefully, it¡¯s not me teaming up with him, it¡¯s my people teaming up with him! ¡°I have two bodyguards. I can have them follow you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dislike having others around? They have received professional training. As long as you say the word, they won¡¯t even look at you or speak, unless you encounter danger. Otherwise, they won¡¯t bother you. How about it?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao felt a tinge of excitement because Su Wei¡¯s proposal was indeed a good option. ¡°Why are you helping me?¡± Mo Xiao asked with a frown. Su Wei¡¯s lips curved into a slight smile and he replied, ¡°I¡¯m not helping you, I¡¯m just making a deal with you. I¡¯m interested in that bow you have. ¡°I¡¯ll give you my bodyguards, and when you want to change equipment, you give me that bow. How about it?¡± Although the Bow of Stars was an orange weapon, it was still a low-level weapon. Mo Xiao knew that he couldn¡¯t use this weapon forever. Furthermore, with his talent for scavenging, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult to acquire better equipment. Exchanging a low-level orange-grade weapon for tranquility was indeed a good deal. After contemting for a moment, Mo Xiao nodded slightly, ¡°Alright, deal.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll inform them right away.¡± Su Wei¡¯s eyes flickered with excitement as he sent out the message upon Mo Xiao¡¯s agreement. ¡°The fish has taken the bait. It¡¯s up to you now!¡± Although Li Xun was somewhat surprised why Mo Xiao agreed to Su Wei¡¯s suggestion, he didn¡¯t say much. After all, it counted as forming a team, and with two high-level bodyguards protecting Mo Xiao, it was undoubtedly safer. As for Jiang He, she had an uncle who was a deputy city lord. Safety matters would naturally be taken care of by others, and the school didn¡¯t need to worry about her. After the final ss meeting, everyone left the ssroom. For them, leveling up was the most important thing at the moment. Just as Mo Xiao was about to leave, Jiang He walked up to him with a touch of resentment. ¡°I thought I could team up with you like this. Su Wei is really despicable!¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched upon hearing her words, but he didn¡¯t say anything, ¡°¡­¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s silence, Jiang He smiled helplessly, ¡°Well, I was just joking. Work hard in leveling up!¡± ¡°Yeah¡­ you too.¡± Jiang He smiled in satisfaction, bid farewell to Mo Xiao, and left the school with light steps. After confirming that everyone had left, Mo Xiao took out the random skill book in the ssroom. ¡°Phew, finally everyone¡¯s gone. Let me see what this thing can give me.¡± Mo Xiao extended his hand eagerly and rubbed the random skill book. [You rubbed the random skill book (green), and it upgraded to a random skill book (blue).] ¡°Oh, let¡¯s continue the nesting.¡± [You opened the random skill book (blue) and obtained the skill book ¡°Dragon Fire Art¡±!] ¡°A blue-tier fire-based skill! That¡¯s amazing!¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao was overjoyed. Now that he possessed the power of the Fire God, all he had to do was upgrade the Dragon Fire Art twice, and then, with the power of the Fire God, he could level it up! In theory, he had a chance to obtain a red-tier skill through this nesting process! Mo Xiao took a deep breath and rubbed the skill book in front of him once again. [You rubbed the skill book Dragon Fire Art! Dragon Fire Art upgraded to Dragon Breath!] [You rubbed Dragon Breath! Dragon Breath upgraded to Dragon Dance!] Looking at the skill book in his hand that was filled with golden light, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but gulp. Even though he had the power of the Fire God and the power of the Thousand Catties, he had never possessed a golden-tier skill before! And it was a fire-based skill, which sounded incredibly powerful! ¡°Learn!¡± Mo Xiao held the skill book and silently recited. Instantly, the skill book in his hand turned into a stream of light and fused into his body. Soon, a system prompt resounded in his mind. [Congrattions, you have learned the skill Dragon Dance!] [A newly learned fire-based skill detected. The power of the Fire God has been triggered! Your Dragon Dance has been upgraded!] As the system prompt sounded, Mo Xiao widened his eyes in astonishment. ¡°Holy¡­!¡± Chapter 12 Target! Deadman¡¯s Canyon! [Congrattions, you have acquired the Red Skill Dragon God¡¯s Descent!] [Dragon God¡¯s Descent: One of the ultimate secrets of the Fire element, summon the mighty Dragon God of the Fire element! The duration depends on your magic power! Thebat power of the Fire Dragon God depends on your spirit value! (Under the amplification of the Fire God¡¯s power, the duration is tripled, and thebat power of the Fire Dragon God is tripled.)] [Fire Dragon God (Basic, the stronger the user¡¯s spiritual power, the stronger thebat power of the Dragon God)] Level: LV5 Strength: 2000 Agility: 500 Spirit: 3,000 Endurance: 1000 Vitality: 1,000 Skill: me Jet (spew mes, causing massive fire damage!) Dragon Breath (incredibly condensed power of fire, spewed out! Inflicts tremendous damage!!) me Vortex (condense the power of fire into a vortex, causing moderate damage to enemies within range, with continuous burning!) Dragon¡¯s Wrath (the Dragon God¡¯s fury, unbearable for anyone! Causes devastating damage to everything around!) ps: All the above skills can be amplified by the power of the Fire God! pps: The caster will be immune to the Fire Dragon¡¯s damage! Mo Xiao swallowed his saliva and looked at the overwhelmingly powerful skill panel in front of him. He muttered to himself. ¡°What the hell is this outrageous skill description¡­ Is this skill meant to destroy humanity!?¡± With this thought in mind, Mo Xiao quickly shook his head. ¡°No, no¡­ A high-level active skill like this, how much mana will it consume?¡± Only now did Mo Xiao realize that this was an active skill, unlike the talents and passive skills he had known before. This thing actually required mana! With his ridiculously low magic power, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to summon a Fire Dragon, let alone a Fire Dragon God! [Fire Dragon¡¯s Descent (Red): Requires 10,000 MP,sts for 10 seconds, an additional 500 MP consumed for each extra second] Mo Xiao looked at the exaggerated amount of mana and his mouth twitched slightly. ¡°I knew it, the consumption must be huge, but¡­ this is too much! ¡°Indeed, having a skill that¡¯s too powerful isn¡¯t necessarily a good thing!¡± Mo Xiao sighed deeply with a bitter smile. Having the skill was one thing, but who knew when he would actually be able to use it? Just as Mo Xiao was feeling regretful and headache-inducing, two figures suddenly entered the ssroom. ¡°Hello, are you Mo Xiao?¡± Hearing the voice, Mo Xiao turned around and saw two unfamiliar faces in front of him. ¡°I am Mo Xiao, who are you?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the two people cautiously, his right hand quietly resting on the long sword at his waist. If they dared to approach recklessly, he would definitely stab them with a single sword. Seeing this, the two individuals quickly bowed respectfully to Mo Xiao and said, ¡°Mr. Mo, we are bodyguards sent by Boss Su to protect you. From now until next Monday, we will do our best to ensure your safety.¡± Mo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. ¡°You came pretty quickly. Let¡¯s form a team right away.¡± He didn¡¯t feel like wasting time with small talk and directly sent a team invitation to the two. [Lu Renjia (Fire Mage, LV20) has joined the team.] [Liu Mangbing (Shield Warrior, LV20) has joined the team.] Looking at the names of the two people, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes twitched slightly. ¡°Random Person A, Rogue C, these names are really unique¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll trouble both of you from now on.¡± Looking at the approaching individuals, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t even think twice and extended his hand towards them, indicating a handshake. In reality, with Mo Xiao¡¯s personality, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to interact with these two people. Shaking hands was just a way to openly leech off their skills. Even though they were just two Level 20 guys, after all, even a mosquito had some meat! [You rubbed against Lu Renjia and copied the skill Big Fireball!] [Fire God¡¯s power triggered! Big Fireball upgraded to Exploding Fireball!] [You rubbed against Liu Mangbing and copied the skill Block.] [Exploding Fireball: Release a massive fireball that explodes upon impact, causing massive fire damage! Cost: 200 MP. Cooldown: 30 seconds] [Block: Raise a shield (weapon) to block attacks. The damage blocked depends on the strength value, and there is a chance to reflect 50% of the damage.] This skill is not bad, Mo Xiao thought to himself, feeling very satisfied. After exchanging a few greetings, the three of them left the base city directly. In the newbie leveling area, it was already crowded with neers, each attacking the poor rabbits one by one. Mo Xiao nced at the crowded leveling area and then at the two people behind him, asking, ¡°How is yourbat power?¡± ¡°Upper-medium level. The two of us can team up to kill monsters beyond our level.¡± Lu Renjia said proudly without hesitation. ¡°That¡¯s good. I¡¯m going to a higher-level map for leveling next. I hope I won¡¯t need to protect you both.¡± Mo Xiao said coldly. The two were taken aback by his words. ¡°You¡­ are going to what level map?¡± ¡°Level 15-20.¡± Mo Xiao said as he opened his map and entered the coordinates he had bought from the fruit stall owner earlier. The stall owner had said it was a level 20 secret realm, so the location should be in the vicinity of this level range. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go there. Deadman¡¯s Canyon, a level 15 map, just perfect.¡± Mo Xiao pointed to the area closest to the secret realm on the map. Lu Renjia looked at the map with a strange expression. ¡°You want to go to Deadman¡¯s Canyon??¡± ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Mo Xiao frowned in confusion. Liu Mangbing scratched his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s not that there¡¯s a problem, but Deadman¡¯s Canyon is the territory of undead creatures. The monster density is extremely high, and their detection range is also particrlyrge. They can detect you from almost a kilometer away, and theye in groups. It¡¯s difficult to deal with¡­¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Lu Renjia nodded as well. ¡°Yes, and¡­ this ce suppresses life recovery, which is very troublesome. Most people would rather go to a level 20 map than go to Deadman¡¯s Canyon.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, let¡¯s go there.¡± Mo Xiao said calmly, seemingly without even considering buying potions. Too many monsters? The more there are, the better. That¡¯s how leveling up is faster! And more drops! Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t be bothered with what the two of them were thinking. If it weren¡¯t for the school¡¯s regtions, he would prefer to charge in alone. Seeing this, Lu Renjia and Liu Mangbing could only sigh helplessly. Their original goal was to snatch Mo Xiao¡¯s orange-tier weapon, the Bow of the Stars, on behalf of Su Wei. They had initially nned to keep their distance and make a moveter. But who knew Mo Xiao would choose such a bizarre map? Even they weren¡¯t confident in staying there for too long. They could only find a way to act in advance. Meanwhile, in the leveling area nearby, Su Wei looked at Mo Xiao and the other two with a wicked smile. ¡°Hehehe, Mo Xiao, let¡¯s see how you handle this! These are two level 20 experts! I don¡¯t believe you can be their match!¡± ¡°Su Wei, what evil ideas are you up to again?¡± Just as Su Wei was fantasizing about Mo Xiao begging for mercy and kowtowing in front of him, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ear. ¡°Jiang He?¡± Jiang He looked at Su Wei coldly. Jiang He stared coldly at Su Wei. ¡°Su Wei, I warn you. If you dare do anything to Mo Xiao, I will make your Su family unable to stay in Yicheng!¡± Chapter 13 Robbery Begins After Mo Xiao identified the target, he casually nced at Lu Renjia and Liu Mangbing behind him. Then, he calmly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if you don¡¯t want to go, then don¡¯t.¡± ¡°Really? Would you like to go somewhere else?¡± Liu Mangbing immediately asked upon hearing that. ¡°¡±Of course not. Teaming up with you two is purely to deal with the school mission.¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°Whether you¡¯re with me or not, it¡¯s the same to me. Even if you don¡¯t team up with me, my goal is still Deadman¡¯s Canyon. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go, then don¡¯t. As long as we don¡¯t disband the team, you can stay wherever you want.¡± After saying that, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t care at all about what these two people were thinking. He directly walked towards Deadman¡¯s Canyon withrge strides. Watching Mo Xiao¡¯s receding figure, the two of them were dumbfounded. They really didn¡¯t expect Mo Xiao to be so bold. ¡°What should we do?¡± Lu Renjia looked at Liu Mangbing helplessly. Liu Mangbing nced at him silently and said, ¡°What else can we do? Inform the boss and ask him to send more people. If we really have to go to Deadman¡¯s Canyon, the two of us might end up dying with that guy.¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Thirty minutester, Mo Xiao quietly sat on a towering boulder. Beside this boulder, gray wolves with eyes glowing green continued to roar at Mo Xiao. But no matter how they ran and jumped, they couldn¡¯t get onto the boulder. He could only rage helplessly at Mo Xiao¡¯s feet. At this moment, a virtual map floated in front of Mo Xiao. ¡°Deadman¡¯s Canyon is really strange. The surrounding area is filled with monster-spawning zones for level 10 and below, but it jumps straight to level 15 like a mountain,¡± muttered Mo Xiao, looking at the map with some confusion. After the game became a reality, the base city had been established for hundreds of years. The monster-spawning zones around the base city were gradually transformed by countless advanced yers. All of this was done to create a rtively safe leveling environment for neers. ording to this situation, the surrounding levels should have smoothly transitioned. But this ce, in particr, had a canyon that popped up. Mo Xiao briefly nned the route on the map and slowly put it away. Stretchingzily, he muttered to himself, ¡°That should be enough. After clearing this wave of monsters, I¡¯ll continue on!¡± With that, Mo Xiao slowly stood up and leaned his head down below the boulder. [Spectral Wolf] HP: 300/300 Level: Level 6 Strength: 20 Agility: 35 Spirit: 5 Endurance: 10 Physique: 15 Bite: Rapidly pounce on the target and bite furiously, causing minor damage with a 5% chance to inflict the target with a bleeding state. As Mo Xiao leaned his head out, the spectral wolves that had surrounded the boulder seemed to instantly catch a whiff of something and rapidly gathered directly below him. Seeing this, Mo Xiao instantly held the Bow of Stars in his hand. ¡°Hurricane Arrow!¡± Mo Xiao swiftly drew the bowstring, and countless starlights swiftly converged into an arrow in his hand. Then, it transformed into a gust of wind and rushed into the pack of wolves. -323 -323 -323 -646! ¡­ As the hurricane rushed into the pack of wolves, numerous damage numbers continuously appeared above the heads of the spectral wolves. In just a few tens of seconds, all the spectral wolves beneath the boulder fell to the ground. [You have killed 16 spectral wolves and gained 880 experience points] [Obtained 35 Wolf Fangs] [Obtained 17 wolf pelts] [Obtained 8 neutral storage bags] [Obtained 2 spirit fruits] ¡°As expected, they only drop some junk. I still need to kill elites and bosses~¡± Mo Xiao sighed and leaped,nding steadily on the ground. However, in the instant Mo Xiaonded, arge fireball suddenly appeared in front of him. [-8] ¡°!!!¡± ¡°Who goes there!¡± In the moment when Mo Xiao was hit by the fireball, he immediately shouted in anger, looking around with a vignt expression. At this moment, behind a nearby rock, a man with a bewildered face looked at the two people next to him and said, ¡°Are you sure this is just a level 5 newbie?¡± Liu Renjia nodded with an unpleasant expression on his face, ¡°Although it¡¯s really unbelievable¡­ but he really is just a level 5 newbie. Didn¡¯t the boss tell you about his situation?¡± ¡°What kind of information do I need for just a level 5 newbie¡­¡± the man said, feeling speechless. Upon hearing this, Liu Mangbing¡¯s mouth twitched twice, and she said, ¡°This is a level 5 newbie who can solo a level 15 elite mutation.¡± Upon hearing these words, the man¡¯s pupils suddenly contracted, ¡°Are you saying¡­ is it toote for me to leave now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote.¡± Before Lu Renjia could answer, Mo Xiao instantly appeared in front of the three of them like a ghost, his expression icy. ¡°Give me a reason to spare you, otherwise, die.¡± Mo Xiao stared coldly at the three of them, his right hand already gripping the hilt of the lord¡¯s long sword. As long as one of the three said something that didn¡¯t please him, Mo Xiao would strike directly. The game hade to the real world, and the peace in the base city was an illusion created by the countless corpses that the strong trampled upon. This world was a survival of the fittest. After all, if one or two people died in the wilderness, it was considered normal. Seeing the longsword in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand, Liu Mangbing¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°A-Another¡­ another orange weapon?¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and, without hesitation, stabbed Liu Mangbing¡¯s shoulder with a sword. -198 Immediately, a bright red number appeared on Liu Mangbing¡¯s body. Although Liu Mangbing was a warrior, it was as if Mo Xiaopletely ignored her defense, directly shing off one-third of her health with a single sword strike. ¡°This is not something I want to hear. If you waste more words, I¡¯ll use my skills.¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes were cold, radiating a murderous aura. Startled, Liu Mangbing lost her nerve, ¡°I¡¯ll talk! I¡¯ll talk! Su Wei sent us! Su Wei was interested in your orange bow, so he asked us to eliminate you in the wilderness and bring back your bow!¡± ¡°I knew this guy wouldn¡¯t help me. He definitely had ill intentions,¡± Mo Xiao coldly snorted. Just as he was about to continue questioning, he suddenly felt a chill down his back, immediately turned around, and swiftly raised his sword. [Sessful Block!] [-60] ¡°Oh? That was a block? You managed to block nearly 100 points of damage. Kid, your strength and endurance must be quite high!¡± Just then, a burly man appeared behind Mo Xiao. Looking at the person in front of him, Mo Xiao instantly frowned. It should be noted that his endurance was now as high as 40 points, and coupled with his 93 points of strength for blocking, this person was still able to inflict 60 points of damage on him. It showed just how terrifying his attacks were. Without hesitation, Mo Xiao immediately used Detection on the man. Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils suddenly contracted, ¡°LV30¡­¡± Chapter 14 If People Don¡¯t Provoke Me, I Won¡¯t Provoke Them! If People Provoke Me, I¡¯ll Provoke Them! [Character Panel] Name: Tu Feiding ss: Melee Mage Level: Level 30 Attributes: ??? Skill: ??? ¡°Indeed, I can¡¯t see the attributes¡­¡± Mo Xiao took a deep breath and said calmly, ¡°Are you also here on Su Wei¡¯s behalf to deal with me?¡± Tu Feiding shrugged at the words. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t bother dealing with a Level 5 brat, but the Su family offered too much. Kid, if you don¡¯t want trouble, hand over the bow now, and I¡¯ll spare your life!¡± Hearing Tu Feiding¡¯s words, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression remained unchanged. Suddenly, he asked, ¡°How old are you?¡± ¡°Huh? I¡¯m in my thirties, why?¡± Tu Feiding was taken aback by the question, clearly not understanding the meaning behind Mo Xiao¡¯s words. Mo Xiao smirked. ¡°You¡¯ve grown up this much and still don¡¯t know the principle of striking first and avoiding retaliation?¡± Before Tu Feiding could react, a burst of light shed from Mo Xiao¡¯s longsword. ¡°Lords¡¯ Aura!¡± In the next moment, a powerful aura erupted from Mo Xiao¡¯s body. Suddenly, an inexplicable fear gripped the hearts of the four people, with only one thought in mind: escape. Just as Tu Feiding turned around, Mo Xiao directly thrust the Lord¡¯s longsword towards him. ¡°Take advantage of your illness to kill you! ¡°I¡¯ll kill you while you¡¯re down! ¡°Power Halo! ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Full-strength attack! ¡°Activate the power of a thousand catties!!!¡± -9,120! In an instant, a dark-red number appeared above Tu Feiding¡¯s head. Tu Feiding didn¡¯t even have a chance to regain his senses and fell directly to the ground in fear. ¡°Nine¡­ nine thousand damage¡­ Are you¡­ a monster?¡± Tu Feiding stammered. Mo Xiao nced at the few individuals and didn¡¯t stop his movements. -912! -912! -9,120! With four consecutive strikes, everyone copsed to the ground. ¡°If they don¡¯t provoke me, I won¡¯t provoke them. But if they provoke me, I will retaliate!¡± Mo Xiao said coldly. [You fiercely rubbed against Lu Renjia¡¯s heart, and the skill ¡°Resist Fire Ring¡± has been replicated.] [The power of the Fire God is triggered, and ¡°Resist Fire Ring¡± is upgraded to ¡°Advanced Resist Fire Ring¡±!] [You fiercely rubbed against Pao Huiyi¡¯s heart, and the skill ¡°Fire Wall¡± has been replicated!] [The power of the Fire God is triggered, and ¡°Fire Wall¡± is upgraded to ¡°Fire Sea¡±!] [You fiercely rubbed against Liu Mangbing¡¯s heart, and the talent ¡°Thick Skin¡± (each point of endurance can be converted into 2 points of defense) has been replicated!] [You fiercely rubbed against Tu Feiding¡¯s heart, and the talent ¡°Fountain of Mana¡± (each point of spirit can be converted into 20 points of mana, and each point of spirit can increase mana recovery by 5 points) has been replicated!] [You killed Lu Renjia and obtained Intermediate Healing Potion * 50.] [You killed Pao Huiyi and obtained the item ¡°Fire Crystal Staff¡± (Green) (LV19).] [You killed Liu Mangbing and obtained an unknown key.] [You killed Tu Feiding and obtained an item, Magic Ring.] Looking at the four fallen individuals, Mo Xiao¡¯s heart remained unaffected, and he calmly browsed through the system information. ¡°It seems that killing people only yields a few items. No wonder they didn¡¯t directly kill me to steal my weapons but instead chose to threaten me,¡± Mo Xiao said thoughtfully. ¡°However, killing them still grants me additional skills¡­ Isn¡¯t that a bit excessive?¡± Mo Xiao pursed his lips and then shook his head. ¡°Well, let¡¯s take a look at these things first. ¡°Hmm¡­ the healing potions wille in handy for now. I can sell the level 19 green staff after giving it a swipe,¡± muttered Mo Xiao, directing his gaze to thest two items. ¡°A key and a ring? They both seem extraordinary.¡± [You rubbed the unknown key, and it sublimated, unveiling its mysterious veil. You obtained a tinum key.] [ tinum Key: It seems to be able to open a certain door.] ¡°This exnation¡­ is a bit too vague, isn¡¯t it?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. Although he didn¡¯t know what it was for, there shouldn¡¯t be any problem in keeping it. [You rubbed the magic source ring, and the magic ring transcended into the Magic Source Ring!] [Magic Source Ring: A ring imbued with infinite magic power, as if it is the source of magic. It can release a skill once a week without any consumption!] ¡°What?!¡± Upon seeing this description, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened instantly. Releasing a skill without any consumption! For others, this ability might be considered tasteless and wasteful. But for Mo Xiao, it was extremely useful. After all, he possessed the skill Dragon God¡¯s Descent, which had an incredibly high consumption. Now, with this ring, he could use Dragon God¡¯s Descent once every seven days for free! That was truly amazing! Mo Xiao put away the ring, and looked at the four corpses on the ground. He threw the four of them together before casting a fireball at them. Instantly, the intense mes engulfed the four bodies, reducing them to ashes, but Mo Xiao¡¯s heart remained unaffected. ¡°Alright, the annoying fellows have been dealt with. It¡¯s time to continue on the journey.¡± Mo Xiao stretched and turned around, striding towards the Deadman¡¯s Canyon. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Meanwhile, in the Hero Hall of the Tianyuan Battlefield. A burst of mes suddenly soared from the wall of the Hero Hall, slowly floating towards the center of the grand hall. ¡°It seems we¡¯ve lost another member of the human race.¡± Inside the Hero Hall, hundreds of people watched as the mes appeared, sighing with some regret. Then, under everyone¡¯s gaze, the mes descended and transformed into an illusory figure upon reaching the ground. In the next moment, an extremely dense magical power enveloped the figure. In just a few breaths, the magical power waspletely absorbed by the figure. Under the effect of this magical power, the figure transformed into a real person. The person suddenly opened their eyes and fell heavily to the ground, gasping for breath. ¡°Ha¡­ Ha¡­ I¡­ I actually died?¡± ¡°Huh? Aren¡¯t you Tu Feiding? Weren¡¯t you supposed to leave the battlefield and return to the base city? How did you die? Don¡¯t tell me you were killed by a wild monster. You¡¯ve been on the battlefield, after all.¡± At that moment, a young man beside him saw Tu Feiding¡¯s appearance and eximed. Upon hearing this, the expressions of pity and admiration on everyone¡¯s faces instantly changed to speechlessness and disdain. ¡°No, I wasn¡¯t killed by a wild monster.¡± Tu Feiding shook his head, his eyes filled with horror as if he remembered something. ¡°I¡­ I was killed by a person, I was killed by someone from our own country!¡± What?! As Tu Feiding uttered those words, the entire Hero Hall fell silent. ¡°What?! There¡¯s already constant conflict within the human race in the war! How can there be someone who enjoys the peace won by warriors and yet turns against their own kind?¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right! Brother, don¡¯t be afraid! Tell us who did it! We¡¯ll help you seek justice!¡± As Tu Feiding looked at the indignant crowd, a strange smile curved his lips, and then he said with a bitter expression, ¡°He is from Yicheng Base City. His name is Mo Xiao!¡± Chapter 15 The End, Iron-d Nether Spirit At the border between the Netherworld Mountain Range and Deadman¡¯s Canyon, Mo Xiao walked forward with a puzzled expression. ¡°Is there something wrong with this navigation system? It doesn¡¯t seem quite right¡­¡± Following the route indicated on the map, the previously open mountainous environment gradually narrowed, as if entering a mountain pass, and directly ahead was a towering peak, although the map showed that crossing this peak would lead to Deadman¡¯s Canyon. However, as Mo Xiao moved forward, he discovered that the steepness of the mountain was nearly ny degrees, making it almost impossible to climb over! Unless, of course, you could fly. Furthermore, the number of monsters around him had also decreased significantly, and their levels had increased by quite a bit, asionally encountering monsters above level 15. If it weren¡¯t for the scarcity of monsters, Mo Xiao would have considered leveling up directly on this mountain path. ¡°Forget it, the system¡¯s suggested route probably won¡¯t have any major issuester on. Maybe there will be a tunnel up ahead.¡± Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t bother thinking too much and continued walking forward along the route given by the system. If he took a wrong turn, he could always turn back. ¡­ Ten minutester, there was an open valley at the end of the mountain pass. And at the end of this valley, there was a faintly discernible cave entrance. At this moment, in the middle of the valley, a woman dressed in a robe was sitting there quietly, meditating with her eyes closed. Just then, the woman slowly opened her eyes, ¡°It¡¯s been an hour, time to respawn, right?¡± As soon as the woman finished speaking, the entire valley began to shake. The next moment, a pitch-ck beam of light descended from the sky. ¡°Roar!!!¡± Apanied by a deafening roar, a monster d in ck armor and wielding a metal staff appeared out of thin air in front of the cave entrance. The woman looked at the monster that appeared and slowly stood up. ¡°It¡¯s the 17th one. I hope you can drop what I¡¯m looking for!¡± [Iron-d Nether Spirit, Elite Lord Boss] Level: LV60 HP: 50,000/50,000 Strength: 1,000 Agility: 500 Spirit: 30,000 Endurance: 1000 Physique: 3000 Skill: Unknown ¡°An elite lord?¡± The woman chuckled, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to spawn an elite monster. I hope it drops what I want.¡± Meanwhile, at the entrance of the valley, Mo Xiao was quietly hiding behind a rock, carefully observing the situation in the center of the valley. Unlike the calmness of the woman, Mo Xiao was filled with fear. ording to his previous route, when he arrived at this valley, it should be just the right time for this monster to respawn. If it weren¡¯t for the woman being here, he might have already been defeated. Mo Xiao wasn¡¯t sure about the rest, but when he saw the monster appear, he used his detection ability. Whether it was that monster or the woman, all Mo Xiao could detect were a string of question marks, unable to see anything. This meant that regardless of whether it was that monster or that woman, their levels were at least 40 levels higher than him. ¡°This is supposed to be a level 5-10 map¡­ Why are there monsters forty levels higher? This is ridiculous! Aren¡¯t they afraid of newbies dying here?¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but gulp. If this was a game made by a gamepany, thepany¡¯s n would definitely be criticized to death by yers. Just as Mo Xiao was letting his imagination run wild, the iron-dher spirit roared and charged straight at the woman. The huge hammer lit up with a dark blue light as he moved. It smashed towards the woman with terrifying power. However, this woman remained calm at this moment. She casually took out the pitch-ck staff from behind her. Then, she suddenly struck it forcefully on the ground, instantly summoning numerous skeletal figures out of thin air. They formed a strange skeletal armoryer around her. ¡°Bang!¡± The next moment, there was a loud thud as the gigantic hammer heavily struck the armor. -0 Seeing that huge zero, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened. Unexpectedly, this extremely imposing boss could not even break through her defense. At the same time, two green magic arrays appeared beside her. Then, dozens of heavily armored skeletons swiftly emerged from the magic array. They pounced at the iron-dher spirit in front. Immediately, countless numbers appeared above the iron-dher spirit¡¯s head. His health bar decreased at a crazy speed as if it were draining water. ¡°This is a hidden profession, a necromancer?¡± Mo Xiao was surprised after witnessing the woman¡¯s attack methods. He didn¡¯t expect that such a beautiful woman would have a profession that involved dealing with corpses and skeletons. Following that, every attack from the woman would take away arge chunk of the iron-dher spirit¡¯s health points. As for iron-dher spirit¡¯s attacks, they would be dodged or nullified by the woman every time. It was a very easy fight. Soon, iron-dher spirit¡¯s health was reduced to just 1%. However, his body was suddenly enveloped in a golden aura. ¡°What is this?¡± Curious, Mo Xiao examined the status bar that suddenly appeared. [Desperate Dominance: When a high-level boss reaches thest one percent of their health, they will enter this state. They will ignore all attacks and control until unleashing a deadly move!] Observing this, the woman raised her staff and calmly said, ¡°Even elites are just like this. The final blow~¡± Just as the woman was about to use her skill, a green w suddenly appeared behind her. In that instant, a trace of astonishment shed across the woman¡¯s face, indicating that she was unaware of this move from the monster. ¡°Oh no!¡± She was in the middle of chanting her skill and was unable to dodge or move. Her summoned creatures had already been killed by the iron-dher spirit. The next moment, the green w struck the woman. It turned her entire body green. [Soul Break: In this state, the character cannot move, attack, use skills, use items, teleport, or defend. Duration: 10 seconds.] On the side, Mo Xiao, witnessing this scene, was slightly stunned, ¡°Does she¡­ not know about this move?¡± As the golden aura disappeared from the iron-dher spirit, the hammer in his hand expanded rapidly. The woman closed her eyes as if epting her fate. ¡°Power Halo! ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Full-strength attack! ¡°Magic Arrow!¡± Just then, a dazzling white arrow flew past the woman¡¯s face. It instantly hit the iron-dher spirit¡¯s head. -406! An intense critical hit number instantly appeared above its head. It directly interrupted his skill, causing him to freeze on the spot. ¡°He¡­ didn¡¯t die?!¡± Chapter 16 She Did Her Best to Rub Against You! This Unprecedented Suffocating Feeling! ¡°This is not logical! How can my damage be so low!?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the damage on the iron-dher spirit¡¯s head, which should have been twice as high, and eximed with some confusion. ¡°He¡¯s an undead creature, and his passive ability grants him 50% immunity to physical damage.¡± Just then, a melodious female voice directly sounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s ear, ¡°But this is enough, thank you. I¡¯ll take over from here. Soul Inferno!¡± Following the woman¡¯s shout, a blue me instantly appeared on the iron-dher spirit¡¯s body. At the same time, his health bar waspletely depleted. [You have witnessed the fire-based skill Soul Inferno. The power of the Fire God is triggered, and you have learned Soul Inferno.] [You participated in the kill of the elite boss, iron-armoredher spirit, and triggered the Medal Acquisition. You obtained a special item, the Token of the Lord of Death.] ¡°Huh? No experience points, and no other drops, just a quest item?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the system message in front of him with a somewhat disappointed and helpless sigh. Just as Mo Xiao was feeling dejected, the enchanting voice from before sounded again, ¡°Thank you just now. Without you, I would have died.¡± The woman turned around slowly, about to say something, but she froze directly. Mo Xiao didn¡¯t look at the woman. He just said very casually, ¡°You¡¯re wee.ust think of it as me wanting to steal your boss.¡± ¡°You¡­ are only a Level Five?¡± The woman looked at Mo Xiao with a surprised expression. Hearing this, Mo Xiao turned to look at the woman¡¯s unbelievably beautiful face. This caused his face to blush, and the words that were about toe out of his mouth instantly vanished. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s reaction, the woman understood. She walked directly to Mo Xiao¡¯s side with big strides and teased him with a smile. ¡°From the looks of it, you must be a fresh graduate from this year, right? So, what do you think, am I beautiful, little brother?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Looking at Mo Xiao, who had his head lowered, the woman burst intoughter. ¡°You¡¯re quite adorable, little brother. I¡¯m Su Jin¡¯er. Thanks again earlier.¡± Su Jin¡¯er put away her teasing attitude and continued, ¡°I can¡¯t repay the debt of saving my life, so how about I offer myself to you as a reward?¡± ¡°Wha! Wha! What the hell!¡± Mo Xiao took a few steps back upon hearing these words. For Mo Xiao, he could handle fighting monsters, he could handle doingborious tasks, and even killing people wouldn¡¯t cause too much emotional turbulence. But when it came to socializing, especially with women, he really couldn¡¯t do it! Both he and the original owner of this body were like that. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s reaction, Su Jin¡¯erughed uncontrobly, ¡°Okay, okay, I won¡¯t tease you anymore. ¡°But seriously, you¡¯re just a Level 5 neer, and yet you were able to deal such high damage to a Level 50 boss. You¡¯re much more powerful than me!¡± Su Jin¡¯er also stopped joking and eximed, ¡°Could it be that you have some kind of hidden profession?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a solo yer.¡± Mo Xiao calmed down at this moment and honestly replied, with his head still lowered. ¡°A solo yer? That¡¯s actually a very powerful ss, although it¡¯s difficult to master. But it seems like you¡¯re doing pretty well.¡± Su Jin¡¯er nced at the bow and sword on Mo Xiao¡¯s body and continued, ¡°Two beginner-level orange weapons, which are indeed rare. However, they shouldn¡¯t ount for such high damage. ¡°Anyway, that¡¯s your secret, and I won¡¯t ask further.¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled lightly, found a random stone to sit on, and sent a friend request, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s be friends. I still have some things to farm here. If you ever need me to offer myself to you, just let me know, okay?¡± Watching Mo Xiao ept the friend request with a blushing face, Su Jin¡¯er chuckled, ¡°Okay, I was just teasing you! But from now on, you can alwayse to me for anything. I¡¯m a level 60 expert and about to undergo my third advancement.¡± ¡°Third advancement¡­ Are you farming for the boss¡¯s exclusive special item?¡± Upon hearing the term ¡°third advancement,¡± Mo Xiao suddenly realized that she was a necromancer. The token of the so-called Death God she had just obtained seemed to be a perfect fit for this profession. Su Jin¡¯er nodded, looking very distressed. ¡°Yes, I only need this one thing for my third advancement, the Death God¡¯s token. I¡¯ve almost killed that guy twenty times already! But the token just won¡¯t drop! It¡¯s really frustrating!¡± Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment upon hearing this and then directly opened the trade panel. ¡°Eh? What are you doing¡­ Ahhhh!!!¡± Before Su Jin¡¯er could ask, she immediately jumped up from the ground and hugged Mo Xiao tightly. She pressed Mo Xiao¡¯s head into her ample bosom, causing him to almost suffocate from the intense pressure. [Su Jin¡¯er rubbed against you with great effort! SS-grade talent, the Death God¡¯s Aura, has been copied!] [AUnprecedented suffocation gives you extraordinary excitement. SS-grade talent, the Death God¡¯s Aura, has evolved into SSS-grade talent, Heart of the Death God!] [Heart of the Death God: You possess the core power of the Reaper. Undead creatures will not attack you actively. Damage from undead creatures is reduced by 50%. Your damage against undead creatures is increased by 100%. Your attacks now carry the power of death, with a 5% chance to trigger an instant-death effect. Additional skill: Soul Harvesting] [Soul Harvesting: The souls of the creatures you kill will be transformed into your power!] ¡°Ugh! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!¡± Mo Xiao struggled desperately, finally managing to escape from the mountain peak. With a flushed face, he looked at Su Jin¡¯er in front of him. But the wonderful sensation from earlier left Mo Xiao somewhat tempted. ¡°Sorry, sorry, I¡¯m just so happy! I never expected you to have this token. I¡¯ve been searching for it for so long!¡± Su Jin¡¯er eximed excitedly. ¡°But this is a drop exclusive to the iron-dher spirit. How did you get it?¡± Mo Xiao calmed down his racing heart and said with a trembling voice, ¡°I attacked him earlier and triggered a special condition, so it gave it to me directly.¡± ¡°Special condition?¡± Su Jin¡¯er leaned in again, her face full of curiosity as she looked at Mo Xiao. Seeing this, Mo Xiao turned his head to the side, blushing, and said, ¡°Well, you know, as long as it¡¯s a special item for a mission, I have the ability to make the monster drop it 100% of the time!¡± Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s expression gradually became serious. ¡°It seems like I really need to consider the option of offering myself to you!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, Su Jin¡¯er asked with a gossipy look on her face, ¡°Little Mo Xiao, do you already have someone you like? ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯m not joking anymore! By the way, why are you here? Didn¡¯t anyone tell you that this is a forbidden ce in the Nether Mountains?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked with some confusion. Mo Xiao shook his head and pointed to a nearby cave. ¡°I¡¯m going to Deadman¡¯s Canyon. Isn¡¯t the nearest route through that tunnel?¡± ¡°The tunnel? No, that¡¯s a forbidden realm. No one has evere out alive from there.¡± Chapter 17 Undead Series ¡°Secret realm???¡± Su Jiner nodded and said, ¡°Yes, did you notice that the monsters we encountered just on this path are of a higher level than those in Deadman¡¯s Canyon?¡± ¡°Although I don¡¯t know why the system guided you through this path, if I wasn¡¯t here earlier, that iron-armoredher spirit would have beaten you up,¡± Su Jiner said with a strange expression. ¡°By that time, don¡¯t say you can¡¯t reach Deadman¡¯s Canyon, you might end up bing a dead person yourself.¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said, ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to take a detour.¡± ¡°Yeah, but why would a level 5 yer like you go to Deadman¡¯s Canyon? It¡¯s a level 15 map¡­¡± Su Jiner didn¡¯t finish her sentence and suddenly paused, looking at the spot where the iron-armoredher spirit had fallen earlier, muttering to herself: ¡°I almost forgot, your attack power is particrly high, so killing monsters 10 levels above shouldn¡¯t be too difficult for you.¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, Mo Xiao nodded slightly and said, ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± ¡°Eh, wait! Don¡¯t leave! Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao getting up and leaving, Su Jiner quickly followed, ¡°You¡¯ve helped me so much, and I haven¡¯t repaid you yet!¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched at her words, ¡°If you¡¯re going to offer yourself as a reward, I¡¯ll pass. I still need to level up.¡± ¡°Oh, that was just a joke! How about I apany you to level up?¡± Su Jiner quickly suggested. ¡°You already have the items for ss advancement, aren¡¯t you going to change your profession?¡± Mo Xiao looked at her speechlessly. It seemed that the phrase ¡°big boobs but no brains¡± was very urate. Su Jiner paused for a moment upon hearing his words. She had been stuck in this ce for a long time because of the problem of changing professions. To her, the most important thing now was to change her profession. ¡°Anyway, we¡¯re friends now, so if I need anything, I¡¯lle to you,¡± Mo Xiao said indifferently. ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± With that, Mo Xiao left without even looking back, leaving Su Jiner alone in the swirling wind. Watching Mo Xiao¡¯s retreating figure, Su Jiner was dumbfounded. Instinctively, she lowered her head and looked at her figure that could drive countless young men crazy. Normally, anyone else would stick to her like glue, but this guy actually said he would run and he did. It was a serious blow to Su Jiner¡¯s self-confidence. ¡°Is there something wrong with my charm? Is he a lolicon or something?¡± Standing in ce for a while, Su Jiner suddenly chuckled. ¡°He¡¯s quite an interesting little guy. Since he seems to be a lone yer, maybe I can give him a little something.¡± Saying that, Su Jiner took out an ancient sheepskin scroll. As the sheepskin scroll opened, an extremely intricate magic array instantly appeared at her feet. Suddenly, a blue beam of light shot up into the sky, and Su Jiner disappeared on the spot. ¡­ Half an hourter, at the end of the Nether Mountain Range. Mo Xiao sat quietly on a giant rock, looking at the brand new skills on his panel. [Soul Harvest: The souls of the creatures you kill will be your power! Every one hundred souls will randomly convert into one attribute point.] ¡°Every 100 souls? I wonder if I¡¯ll get more souls for killing higher-level monsters. If not, maybe I can fulfill this condition by ughtering low-level monsters.¡± Mo Xiao was filled with doubts at this moment. Although this was indeed a divine skill, the skill was not exined clearly at all, especially regarding the situation with souls. If killing low-level monsters would work, all Mo Xiao had to do was spend a night grinding in the newbie leveling area, and he would be invincible. ¡°It seems like I¡¯ll have to think about it carefully.¡± Just as Mo Xiao sighed deeply, a system notification suddenly sounded. Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow upon hearing the sound. ¡°An email? Is the gamepensating for something?¡± Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao opened his mailbox. Su Jin¡¯er: I¡¯m not sure how to repay you, but I remember you¡¯re a lone yer, right? I went through the warehouse earlier and found some exclusive equipment that I used in the past but never had the heart to sell. I¡¯m giving them to you as a gift, hoping it can help you out~ PS: This doesn¡¯t count as repayment! It¡¯s just a gift from me to you! PPS: My life is not something that can be repaid with such trivial things! [Obtained equipment: Death Staff (Blue).] [Obtained equipment: Death Robe (Blue).] [Obtained skill book: Skeleton Soldier Summoning (Blue).] ¡°These¡­ are all blue items??¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s excitement surged as he looked at the three items that entered his backpack. For others, blue items weren¡¯t particrly great. But for Mo Xiao, blue equipment was equivalent to orange equipment! [You rubbed the Death Staff, and it transcends into the Undead Staff! [You rubbed the Undead Staff, and it transcends into the Necromancer¡¯s Staff!] [You rubbed the Death Robe, and it transcends into the Undead Robe!] [You rubbed the Undead Robe, and it transcends into the Necromancer¡¯s Robe!] [You rubbed the Skeleton Soldier Summoning Technique.

Equipment Level: Level 15 Restriction: Only Necromancers can equip it. ¡°350 points?!¡± Seeing this number, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes instantly widened. This was more than three times the attack power of his lord¡¯s longsword! Only then did Mo Xiao realize that this equipment could only be used at Level 15. He was only level 5, but with the additional 10 levels granted by the Solo yer passive, he could just equip it. Obviously, Su Jiner had already understood his skills; otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have given this to him. [Necromancer¡¯s Robe] Defense: 50 Mana Points: 2,000 Spirit: 100 Magic Critical Hit: 5% Mana Regeneration: 50 points/second Durability: 5000/5000 Necromantic Prayer: Reduces the cooldown of Necromancy skills by 50%.

Mo Xiao excitedly looked at the skill book in his hand and without hesitation, proceeded to study it. Then he quickly put on the equipment from the Necromancer series and instantly felt much stronger. Without hesitation, Mo Xiao directly opened his personal panel. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV5 (880/7,000) ss: Solo yer Strength: 83 (+10) Agility: 37 (+50) Spirit: 44 (+100) Endurance: 40 Physique: 40 Equipment: Necromancer¡¯s Staff / Lord¡¯s Longsword / Bow of the Stars, Necromancer¡¯s Robe, Magic Source Ring, Plunder Badge, Berserk Ring Skills: Equipment Mastery, Skill Mastery, Thunderbolt, Between Hurricanes, Full Power Strike, Savage Force, Thousand Catties Force, Soul Harvest, Soul Explosion, Dragon God¡¯s Descent, Exploding Fireball, Block, Advanced Resistance to Fire Ring, Sea of Fire, Summon Skeleton Lord, Strength Aura Talents: I Just Rub, Advanced Reaction Enhancement, Lightning Speed, Thick-skinned, Heart of the Death God, Fire God Power, Magic Power Source Looking at the attributes in front of him, Mo Xiao gently swiped his hand and the panel instantly changed. [Attribute panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV5 (880/7,000) HP: 400/400 MP: 4880/4880 Attack Power: 93 (+105/+80) = 198/173 Evasion: 5% (+20%) = 25% Magic Strength: 44 (+100+350) = 494 Critical Strike: 5% (+5%+10%) = 20% Magic Critical Strike: 5% (+10%) = 15% Defense: 80 (+50) = 130 Mana Recovery: 62 points per second ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Mo Xiao looked at the densely packed numbers on the panel, and he felt a bit overwhelmed. He truly didn¡¯t expect that he had be so powerful now! Even the lowest value of his mana had be the highest attribute due to the equipment given by Su Jiner. Perhaps it wouldn¡¯t be long before he could use his own magic power to cast Dragon God¡¯s Descent! Just as Mo Xiao was still in his excitement, a wolf howl suddenly sounded in his ears. He saw a level six Spectral Wolf baring its teeth at him, as if it was ready to attack at any moment. Seeing this, Mo Xiao instantly pointed his Necromancer¡¯s Staff at theher wolf. ¡°Soul Explosion!¡± Mo Xiao shouted with an extremely cheesy tone. A bunch of azure mes instantly exploded on theher wolf¡¯s body. -987 A terrifying number close to a thousand appeared above theher wolf¡¯s head. As for theher wolf, it fell to the ground. [You have killed the Nether Wolf and gained 55 experience points!] ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao looked at theher wolf that had fallen to the ground with a shocked expression. Although he knew that he would insta-kill theher wolf, he never expected to deal such high damage! One had to know that he did not have any additional skills. In fact, before he could even deal a critical hit, he had already dealt more than 900 damage. ¡°Is this the skill of a level 60 necromancer? It¡¯s really amazing!¡± Mo Xiao swallowed his saliva and suddenly had the thought of continuing to rub against Su Jin¡¯er. Of course! Just leeching off her skills! Mo Xiao had no desire to experience that suffocating feeling again! [You have cast Soul Explosion. Power of the Fire God triggered. Soul Explosion has upgraded to Annihting Soul ze!] [Annihting Soul ze: A terrifying skill from the God of Death that targets only souls. It has a spreading effect and a 3% chance of inflicting instant death. Cost: 1000 MP. Cooldown: 5 minutes.] ¡°Is it really okay for a skill like this to have only a five-minute cooldown?¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but gulp. As he became stronger, he suddenly realized that although this was a game world, the bnce between professions waspletely unfair. There was absolutely no semnce of bnce. It was a world where the strong grew stronger while the weak perished. Mo Xiao took a deep breath and jumped off the boulder, carrying the Bow of the Stars and the lord¡¯s sword on his back. At this moment, Mo Xiao had also put it back into his bag, only holding the Necromancer Staff in his hand. He hadpletely transformed into a mage. With determined strides, he set off towards Deadman¡¯s Canyon. Just as Mo Xiao was leisurely making his way to his destination, a terrified scream suddenly rang out in the distance. ¡°Run!!! Theher wolf king¡¯s skill ignores all defenses!! I can¡¯t hold on anymore!!!¡± ¡°No! We can¡¯t leave you behind!! Priest, heal him!! I¡¯ll hold him off!!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t heal him anymore! His health is dropping too quickly!!¡± Hearing the voices of these people, Mo Xiao frowned and looked towards the source of the voices. He saw a five-person team engaged in a battle with a massiveher wolf king engulfed in blue mes. However, from the current situation, it was obvious that their tank was on the verge of copse. The health bar was plummeting like a falling object. Watching these people, Mo Xiao let out a sigh and raised his staff. In the next moment, a dazzling me aura appeared instantly between the tank and theher wolf king. Then, to the astonishment of the onlookers, theher wolf king was forcibly pushed back by four to five meters. This was the difference between a high-level Ring of Fire and an ordinary Ring of Fire. The center point of the release could be freely determined by the user. Even bosses could be pushed away. Seeing the sudden appearance of the fire aura, the group immediately noticed Mo Xiao standing nearby. ¡°Quick, quick, bring Old Li back!¡± the leading warrior eximed, then looked at Mo Xiao with joy on his face. ¡°Thank you, big shot, for lending a hand!¡± Mo Xiao looked at the man coldly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. I¡¯m only here to snatch the Nether Wolf King, not to save you.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao raised the staff in his hand again. Then, an explosive fireball flew out symbolically from Mo Xiao¡¯s staff. Itnded heavily on theher wolf king¡¯s head. Just as Mo Xiao was about to continue attacking, Just as Mo Xiao was preparing to continue his attack, a series of gray-white numbers emerged directly above theher wolf king¡¯s head. -999,999! ¡°?!¡± Seeing this number, not only the group of people who had been overwhelmed by theher wolf king before, but even Mo Xiao himself was dumbfounded. Although he knew that his attacks were impressive and his magic damage was high, it couldn¡¯t possibly reach such an outrageous level! [Death¡¯s Lord¡¯s Heart¡¯s instant death effect triggered! The Nether Wolf King has been insta-killed!] ¡°Instant death?¡± Hearing this term, Mo Xiao finally reacted. It wasn¡¯t just Annihting Soul ze that had an instant death effect, but the Death God¡¯s Heart bestowed an instant death effect to all of his attacks. Although the trigger probability was low, once it activated, it meant instant death. That gray-white number was the characteristic of instant death. ¡°No wonder the trigger probability is only in the single digits. Otherwise, it would be too terrifying.¡± Mo Xiao muttered thoughtfully. [Congrattions, you have killed the Lord-level boss, the Spectral Wolf King, and gained 2000 experience points!] Just as Mo Xiao was about to go over to loot the corpse, he suddenly felt a scorching gaze on him. Mo Xiao slowly turned his head and saw the five individuals from earlier staring at him intently, as if they were looking at a piece of gold. Chapter 19 The Mighty Skeleton Legion, Astonishing Leveling Speed Feeling the gaze of the five people, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression instantly turned cold. ¡°Get lost, all of you! This wolf is mine!¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao did not give them a chance to speak. The high-level Ring of Fire was instantly activated. Before they could even react, they were pushed back four to five meters. By the time they reacted, Mo Xiao had already disappeared. Only the corpse of theher wolf king was left. From the appearance of the corpse, it was evident that Mo Xiao had already taken all the dropped items. ¡°Boss, what level of boss do you think he is? How did he get insta-killed by theher wolf king? This is a Lord-tier boss!¡± ¡°You¡¯re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I was too excited just now and forgot to use detection spells.¡± ¡°Even if we used detection spells, we probably wouldn¡¯t be able to tell. Someone who can deal such high damage must have a level far above ours.¡± ¡°But why would such a big shote to a low-level map like the Nether Mountain Range?¡± ¡°Who knows? Don¡¯t think too much about it. Let¡¯s take a break and continue grinding and leveling. We need to reach level 10 quickly so we can go to the experience dungeon!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± At this moment, on a big tree behind the five of them, Mo Xiao was rubbing each of the dropped items from theher wolf king. ¡°I clearly killed this boss at level ten, but I didn¡¯t get any rewards. I got rewards when I killed that wild boar king before. I really don¡¯t understand how these rewards are calcted.¡± [You rubbed the Nether Cloak, and it transformed into an Invisible Cloak!] [Invisibility Cloak: Special item. It can hide one¡¯s aura and figure and cannot be detected by any skills. It canst for 300 seconds. It¡¯s a one-time use item.] Looking at the cloak in his hand, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, although he didn¡¯t know what this thing was used for. However, among the items dropped by this wolf king, other than the materials that he had rubbed into gold, this thing was the best. Mo Xiao casually put the cloak into his backpack and looked at the five people who were resting not far away. ¡°What¡¯s an experience dungeon? I¡¯ll ask Jiang He another day.¡± After saying that, Mo Xiao directly walked around the ce where the five of them were resting and headed towards Deadman¡¯s Canyon. As Mo Xiao advanced, the surrounding environment gradually became worse. The originally lush mountain range was only left with withered trees. Even the extremely annoyingher wolf had disappeared. In its ce were disgusting zombie wolves. ¡°Looks like we¡¯re already at Deadman¡¯s Canyon¡­¡± Just as Mo Xiao was surveying the area, he suddenly noticed a debuff appearing on his body. [Domain of the Dead: You are walking in the territory of the deceased, reducing life recovery effects by 50%.] ¡°So this is the thing they mentioned that hampers life recovery?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the debuff but remained calm. While Mo Xiao was pondering, the sound of soil breaking suddenly rang out beside him. Not far away, the previously level ground suddenly arched up with a dozen small mounds. Then, decaying arms emerged directly from the mounds, and in the next moment, dozens of zombies emerged from the ground. [The Heart of the Death God has been triggered. The undead creatures will not initiate attacks against you.] ¡°Are these zombies?¡± Mo Xiao looked curiously at these limping corpses walking around and cast a detection spell on them. [Ordinary Zombie] HP: 1500/1500 Level: LV15 Strength: 100 Agility: 5 Spirit: 0 Endurance: 15 Physique: 150 Zombie Toxin: Inflicts poison effect on the target when hit. ¡°High attack and high health, and there are so many of them?¡± Mo Xiao raised his eyes and looked. With the appearance of these few zombies, the entire canyon had already been filled with zombies. There were even a few unusuallyrge and peculiar creatures in the distance. Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, and he lightly tapped the ground with the staff in his hand. ¡°Summoning Spell: Skeleton Lord.¡± Immediately, a three-meter-tall skeleton crawled out from the magic array. Wearing shiny silver armor and wielding a massive cleaver, it exuded immense power. [You have summoned the Skeleton Lord (1/2)] ¡°He looks pretty cool. Can I have two at the same time?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes shed with excitement at the Skeleton Lord beside him. Then, with a thought, he directly gave the Skeleton Lord themand to attack. In the next moment, the Skeleton Lord stomped its feet, and 10 skeletons that were one size smaller than it crawled out from the ground. [Skeleton Soldier] HP: 1500/1500 Level: LV5 Strength: 100 Agility: 500 Spirit: 0 Endurance: 40 Physique: 150 These small skeletons, although at the same level as Mo Xiao, had even higher attributes than the zombies, indicating that the quality of these small skeletons was much better than that of the zombies. Just as Mo Xiao marveled at this, the group of skeletons simultaneously shouted and charged towards the zombies. [You have killed an ordinary zombie and gained 170 experience points.] [You have killed an ordinary zombie and gained 170 experience points.] [You have killed an ordinary zombie and gained 170 experience points.] ¡­ As this group of skeletons charged, numerous system messages kept appearing one after another. Although their damage was not high, when they attacked the same zombie, they could instantly kill these zombies. Moreover, these skeletons that he summoned seemed to trigger the instant death effect of the Heart of the Death God. In fact, there was no limit to the Skeleton Lord¡¯s roar. As long as its cooldown was over, it would immediately summon again. In just ten minutes, the eleven skeletons from before had now be 30. The efficiency of killing monsters was also increasing. [You have killed an ordinary zombie and gained 170 experience points.] [Congrattions, you have sessfully reached level 6. All attributes increase by 5 points, and you gain 10 points of free attributes!] ¡°So fast, it leveled up just like that¡­¡± Mo Xiao was overjoyed and once again cast the summoning spell. [Skeleton Lord] HP: 3,500/3,500 Level: LV6 Strength: 350 Agility: 200 Spirit: 280 Endurance: 600 Physique: 350 ¡°Good lord, almost all his attributes have increased by 50 points! Such an amazing skill!¡± Mo Xiao excitedly sent this Skeleton Lord out again. Immediately, the continuous system notifications refreshed even faster. His experience bar was rising rapidly. In just five minutes, it had already reached 50%. Just as Mo Xiao was quietly leveling up, the rate of message updates suddenly slowed down. [Your skeleton soldier (LV6) has been killed!] [Your skeleton soldier (LV6) has been killed!] [Your skeleton soldier (LV6) has been killed!] ¡°?¡± Although the skeleton soldiers were not particrly powerful, it was impossible to instantly kill three of them at the same time! ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did I encounter a boss?¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao frowned slightly and quickly summoned another Skeleton Lord, rushing towards the ce where the Skeleton Soldiers died. Chapter 20 Special Talent, Dragon Language Although Mo Xiao had already issued the order to the Skeleton Lord to cease the attack, the skeleton soldiers continued to perish one after another. Just as he finally arrived at the battlefield, two pieces of information suddenly shed through his mind. [Your Skeleton Lord (LV6) has been in!] [The summoner is dead, and the skeleton soldiers have perished collectively!] In the next moment, countless bone fragments fell from the sky, scattering before Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao was stunned by the sight and instinctively looked up. There, a gigantic skeletal dragon was wielding its pale wings, hovering in the air. After a while, it slowlynded on the empty space in front of him. Staring fixedly at Mo Xiao, who was not far away, his body constantly flickered with blue mes, indicating it had entered a hostile state. It seemed as if it couldunch an attack against Mo Xiao at any moment. Although Mo Xiao possessed the Heart of the Death God, the skeleton lord he had summoned earlier had already attacked this skeletal dragon. At present, it couldn¡¯t be considered an active attack but rather a passive counterattack from the dragon. However, judging from the demeanor of the skeletal dragon, it didn¡¯t seem to want to attack Mo Xiao. [Skeletal Dragon¡¤Realm Guardian (Bronze-level boss)] Level:LV25 HP:30,000/30,000 Strength: ??? Agility: ??? Spirit: ??? Endurance: ??? Physique: ??? Skill: ??? As Mo Xiao looked at the panel in front of him, his expression gradually became serious. ¡°Another boss that can¡¯t be seen? What does Bronze-level mean?¡± [Boss Levels: Boss, Elite Boss, Mutant Boss, Lord Boss, Bronze-level Boss, Silver-level Boss, Gold-level Boss, tinum-level Boss, Diamond-level Boss, Dark Gold-level Boss, King-level Boss, God-level Boss] ¡°What? The fifth-tier boss?!¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils contracted sharply upon realizing the situation. Clearly, judging from this situation, the attributes of this skeletal dragon would be outrageously high! Mo Xiao gulped nervously and instinctively took a step back. The skeletal dragon remained motionless, silently observing Mo Xiao. ¡°Not attacking? What¡¯s going on?¡± Mo Xiao asked with some confusion. [Secret Realm Guardian: Only guards the entrance to the realm, will notunch attacks against others, can only enter the realm by defeating it.] ¡°Phew, that¡¯s good. As long as I don¡¯t provoke it, it should be fine.¡± Looking at the system notification, Mo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. However, at that moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He quickly opened the map. Mo Xiao was immediately dumbfounded. This was because the secret realm he wanted to enter was precisely the ce guarded by this skeletal dragon. ¡°Damn¡­¡± Mo Xiao waspletely dumbfounded at this point. He hade to Deadman¡¯s Canyon precisely for this secret realm. No wonder the stall owner told him about the secret realm so easily. So that was the reason! Mo Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the skeletal dragon before him. Give up? That was never his style! ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll take more risks!¡± With that, Mo Xiao took bold strides forward, directly approaching the skeletal dragon. ¡°Summon!¡± Mo Xiao lightly tapped the ground with his staff. Immediately, the skeleton lord appeared again. At the same time, the skeleton lord roared, and 10 small skeletons appeared beside Mo Xiao. Meanwhile, the other skeleton lord arrived with a group of skeleton soldiers, joining Mo Xiao¡¯s side. Mo Xiao sighed with relief, cautiously stepping closer to the skeletal dragon. Just one more step forward would activate the dragon. Mo Xiao slowly raised his right hand and pressed it directly on the massive head of the skeletal dragon. [You cautiously rubbed the skeletal dragon, and you have copied the special talent Dragon Language!¡± [Dragon Language: You have mastered the exclusivenguage of dragons. Using dragonnguage to cast magic might have special effects.] ¡°Congrattions on acquiring the title Dragon Speaker, as you have mastered the dragonnguage. Perhaps there will be special opportunities in the Dragon Secret Realm.¡± [Dragon Speaker reward! Congrattions on learning the skill, Dragon Language Magic: Dragon Wings!] [Dragon Wings: Channel ancient energy between heaven and earth, transforming into special dragon wings that grant you the ability to fly and extreme speed! Under the state of Dragon Wings, both attack power and magical strength will double! Consumption: 500 MP, Maintenance: 50 MP per second.¡± ¡°F*ck! Dragon Wings?! Is that even possible?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the information in front of him in shock, his face filled with excitement. Just as he was getting excited, the skeletal dragon suddenly opened its mouth, and an iprehensible sound came out from its mouth. But as the sound entered Mo Xiao¡¯s ears, it automatically transformed into words that he could understand. ¡°Human, this ce is under my protection. Leave immediately!¡± The skeletal dragon didn¡¯t pay any attention to Mo Xiao cing his hand on its head, and directly spoke to drive him away. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao became even more delighted and quickly said, ¡°Skeletal dragon, can you let me in?¡± ¡°Huh? You actually understand thenguage of our dragon race!¡± Upon hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, the skeletal dragon was also taken aback. It looked at Mo Xiao in astonishment and said, ¡°The Dragon Speaker has not appeared for nearly a thousand years. I didn¡¯t expect to encounter such a legendary existence.¡± ¡°Can I go in then?¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao was also delighted. This situation clearly had a chance! The skeletal dragon shook its head and said, ¡°I have long been dead. I no longer belong to the dragon race. My existence is solely to guard this realm. Unless you kill me, no one can enter this realm!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned. It seemed that he had been thinking too much. If he wanted to enter, he could only kill the skeletal dragon before him. ¡°Well then, let¡¯s first try dealing some damage.¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself as his staff began to emit a dazzling light. In the next moment, a pair of dragon wings appeared behind him. Then, he rose into the air, hovering in mid-air. He aimed his staff directly at the skeletal dragon. ¡°I wonder if a full-strength attack will have an amplifying effect on magic¡­¡± Mo Xiao muttered as numerous skills were activated in an instant. ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Power Halo! ¡°Full-strength attack! ¡°Soul Extinguishing ck me!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± With an ear-piercing roar of mes, a bright red number instantly appeared above the skeletal dragon¡¯s head. -8,952! With just one skill, Mo Xiao instantly took away one-third of the skeletal dragon¡¯s health. If he triggered the Thousand Catties Force, the dragon would be dead. Unfortunately, it didn¡¯t trigger, and with the remaining 20,000 health points, Mo Xiao had no chance of defeating it. ¡°Roar!!!¡± In the next moment, a deafening dragon roar resounded. Mo Xiao felt his body being violently hit, and all the skeletons on the ground instantly turned into fragments. At the same time, a bright red number appeared above his own head. [-299] Seeing this damage, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. What did this number mean? It meant that the damage from the skeletal dragon¡¯s attack had exceeded ten thousand. This was the damage that remained after the skeletons took all the damage. Just this remaining damage alone almost killed him. How powerful was this skeletal dragon! Chapter 21 The Dragon God Descends! Explosive Fireball! Sea of fire! Looking at the skeletal dragon roaring at the sky, Mo Xiao suddenly panicked. He quickly drank two bottles of life potion, and used all the active skills he could use at once. -2,964! Although the damage from the exploding fireball was already quite impressive, when faced with this bronze-level boss with a whopping 30,000 health points, it was just a drop in the bucket! At this moment, the skeletal dragon pped its wings and soared into the sky. Then, with terrifying speed, it headed straight for Mo Xiao. Not to mention anything else, even if this skeletal dragon did not use any skills, an ordinary attack would be enough to instantly kill Mo Xiao a dozen times over. ¡°I have no choice but to use my trump card¡­¡± Despite having the wings of a dragon and lightning-fast speed, Mo Xiao¡¯s speed was still insufficient in the face of the skeletal dragon. Looking at the skeletal dragon swooping towards him, Mo Xiao gritted his teeth. The magic source ring in his hand instantly lit up with a dazzling light. At the same time, Mo Xiao raised his staff abruptly. In the next moment, a ball of scorching energy, as radiant as the sun, instantly converged at the tip of the necromancer staff. ¡°Burn everything!!! Dragon God Descends!!!¡± Following Mo Xiao¡¯s low roar, the sun at the tip of the staff shot out. ¡°Boom!¡± In an instant, a resounding roar that echoed through the universe erupted. Terrifying winds and raging mes swept through the entire Deadman¡¯s Canyon. The once gloomy canyon instantly transformed into a world of crimson. Even the sky was illuminated with a searing red by the mes. As the mes dispersed, a massive fire dragon appeared in Deadman¡¯s Canyon. And the skeletal dragon was already firmly crushed beneath the feet of this fire dragon. [You have killed an ordinary zombie and gained 170 experience points.] [You have killed an ordinary zombie and gained 170 experience points.] [Congrattions on sessfully advancing to Level 7. All attributes have increased by 5 points and you have obtained 10 free attribute points!] ¡­ At this moment, Mo Xiao realized that his information panel was being flooded with system messages. The mes released by summoning the Dragon God had already cleared out half of Deadman¡¯s Canyon¡¯s monsters. Even the level Miao Xiao had just advanced was instantly raised by another level. Just as Mo Xiao was in a daze, the huge Fire Dragon God suddenly roared at the sky. Fierce mes spewed from its feet. Immediately, a series of damages that were no less than 5,000 appeared. They kept shing from the head of the skeletal dragon. Just two secondster¡­ [You have killed a Bronze Rank Boss, Skeletal Dragon. You have received 80,000 experience points!] [Congrattions on sessfully advancing to Level 8. All attributes have increased by 5 points and you have obtained 10 free attribute points!] [Congrattions on sessfully advancing to Level 9.

The secret realm¡¯s teleportation array is activated. You can spend experience points to teleport to this secret realm through any teleportation array.] [Congrattions on defeating a Bronze Boss for the first time. Reward: One Bronze Treasure Chest!] Looking at the string of messages in front of him, Mo Xiao remained stunned for a while before reacting. ¡°I¡­ I actually leveled up three times in one go?!¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but gulp. Although he had guessed that this skeletal dragon would give him a lot of experience, he did not expect that it would actually allow him to advance three levels in one go! Just as Mo Xiao was getting excited, he suddenly felt an emptiness in his body. In the next moment, the huge fire dragon in front of him flickered slightly. Then, it directly transformed into countless red dots that dissipated into the air. ¡°Disappeared? Oh¡­ ten seconds are up.¡± Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully, his gaze shifting to the skeletal dragon that had been burned to charcoal. ¡°Come on, let me see what good stuff you can drop for me!¡± [Obtained Dragon Bone *28] [Obtained Dragon Soul Fragment *5] [Obtained Bronze Treasure Chest x1] [Obtained Dragon me Bone Sword (Purple) *1] [Obtained Dragon Blood *5] [Obtained Dragon Pendant *1] [Obtained Random Skill Book (Blue) *1] As the system messages appeared, tears of happiness flowed from the corners of Miao Xiao¡¯s eyes. Except for the items with the word ¡®dragon¡¯ that he didn¡¯t know about, everything else was incredibly rare and precious! Looking at the items before him, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately hugged them tightly, rubbing them in joy. [You rubbed the bronze treasure chest, and it upgraded to a silver treasure chest!] [You rubbed the Dragon me Bone Sword, and it transcended into the Dragon me Steel Sword!] [You rubbed the Dragon me Steel Sword, and it sublimated into the Dragon God Steel Sword!] [You rubbed the dragon pendant, and it sublimated into the Dragon King Pendant!] [You rubbed the Random Skill Book (Blue). The Random Skill Book (Blue) was upgraded to a Random Skill Book (Purple)] [Due to the special nature of random skill books, random skill books can¡¯t be upgraded twice.] ¡°Ah¡­ I can only rub a random skill book once? That¡¯s such a pity¡­¡± Mo Xiao sighed with regret, directly transcending the Golden Treasure Chest and Bronze Treasure Chest into the tinum Treasure Chest and Silver Treasure Chest, respectively, as given by the system. ¡°Very good¡­ Open the silver treasure chest!¡± [You opened the Silver Treasure Chest. Congrattions, you obtained an unknown creature egg!] [You opened the Silver Treasure Chest. Congrattions, you obtained the Talent Scroll (Dual Wielding Power).] ¡°A creature egg? A pet egg??¡± Seeing this message, Miao Xiao was also stunned and immediately took the egg out of his backpack. [You rubbed an unknown creature egg, and it transcended into the unknown spirit beast egg.] [You rubbed an unknown spirit beast egg, and it transcended into the unknown divine beast egg.] [You have obtained an unknown divine beast egg. Do you want to hatch it?] ¡°WTF¡­ You can rub a pet egg twice too! It¡¯s actually a divine beast! I hope it¡¯s something awesome!¡± Without hesitation, Mo Xiao eximed, ¡°Hatch it!¡± [Incubation begins. Countdown: 240 hours] ¡°Damn, it takes 10 days to hatch¡­,¡± Mo Xiao was dumbfounded, thinking that hatching in the game would be instantaneous. ¡°Oh well, just 10 days. I can wait.¡± Mo Xiao muttered and then shifted his gaze to another item. ¡°What is dual-wielding power?¡± [You rubbed the Talent Scroll (Dual Wielding Power), and it transcended into the Power of Twin Stars!] [Power of Twin Stars: You can simultaneously equip different weapons in both hands, and the attack power/magic potency will stack. Dual-wielded weapons will ignore single/dual-handed restrictions.] Chapter 22 Your Current Level Is Not Level 20, You Can¡¯t Go to the Secret Realm ¡°Wow¡­ dual-wielding? So, does that mean I can hold a sword in one hand and a staff in the other? ¡°No, the attack power stacks. So, if you simultaneously hold two high-attack equipment, you can unleash even more terrifying power.¡± Mo Xiao became excited at the thought. ording to the description, even if it was a two-handed weapon, you could directly hold two weapons at the same time. In other words, you could hold two dual-wield weapons at the same time and maximize your attack power! Mo Xiao licked his lips in excitement. Just as he was about to open the tinum treasure chest, he suddenly stopped and put it back into his backpack. The tinum treasure chest was too rare. He did not know when he would encounter another one. What if he opened it and got a level 10 equipment? Even if the equipment was excellent, it would be useless if his level wasn¡¯t high enough. It would be better to wait until he had a higher level before opening such a rare treasure chest. [You have opened a random skill book (purple) and obtained the skill book ¡°Empty-handed Mastery!¡±] [You rubbed the Empty-handed Mastery skill book, and it evolved into True Empty-handed Mastery.] [You rubbed the True Empty-handed Mastery, and it evolved into Divine Empty-handed Mastery.] [Divine Empty-handed Mastery: Red skill, the legendary stealing skill, with a 100% sess rate (including monsters)! You can steal any item from the opponent¡¯s backpack! Passive looting: there is a 50% chance to steal all the opponent¡¯s money and a 5% chance topletely empty the opponent¡¯s backpack!] ¡°Oh¡­ What a unique skill! It¡¯s so awesome¡­¡± Looking at the skill description on the panel, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. Not only did it have a 100% sess rate for stealing, but there was also a chance to empty the opponent¡¯s backpack. This skill was truly extraordinary! ¡°It says it has a 100% sess rate¡­ I wonder if it can steal equipment that¡¯s already equipped.¡± Mo Xiao muttered curiously. [It can.] ¡°I¡­ ¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but gulp when he saw the system¡¯s reply. If he used this skill on a girl, he was afraid he would be beaten to death¡­ With that in mind, Mo Xiao quickly shook his head and took out something else. [Dragon God Steel Sword] Quality: Red Attack Power: 2,300 Critical Strike: 25% Lifesteal: 15% Durability: 15,000/15,000 Dragon me: Ignites dragon mes on the enemy when hit, constantly burning and dealing damage equal to one-tenth of the user¡¯s attack power.

Even if the Solo yer ss allowed him to ignore the level difference by ten levels, he still needed to reach five more levels to equip it. ¡°I wonder how long it will take to level up those five levels¡­¡± Mo Xiao sighed and directly stored the Dragon God Steel Sword in his backpack, then took out another dropped item. [Dragon King Pendant] Quality: Special All Attributes: +100 Life Pool: 0/50,000 Mana Pool: 0/50,000 Equipment Level: 20 [Life Pool: Stores excess health recovered and automatically replenishes when health is depleted.] [Mana Pool: Stores excess mana recovered and automatically replenishes when mana is depleted.] ¡°Oh my, it can store up to 50,000 points! If I fill this thing up, won¡¯t I be a tank?!¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately wore the pendant. Then he chugged several bottles of health potions, watching as his health points were fully stored in the Life Pool. Only then did Mo Xiao feel relieved. ¡°With this thing, unless a big shotes to hunt me down, it won¡¯t be easy to kill me,¡± Mo Xiao said happily. After making sure all his equipment was in order, Mo Xiao finally opened the attribute panel and allocated the extra 50 attribute points he had gained from leveling up. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV10 (3,000/80,000) ss: Solo yer Strength: 128 (+110) Agility: 87 (+150) Spirit: 69 (+100) Endurance: 65 (+100) Physique: 65 (+100) Skills: Equipment Mastery, Skill Mastery, Thunderstrike, Interlude of Hurricanes, Full Force Strike, Brutal Force, Thousand-Kic Force, Soul Harvest, Soul-Erasing ck mes, Dragon God¡¯s Descent, Exploding Fireball, Block, Advanced Fire Resistance, Fire Sea, Summoning Lord Skeletons, Strength Aura, Dragon Wings, Divine Empty-handed Mastery Talent: I Just Rub, Advanced Reaction Enhancement, Lightning Speed, Thick-skinned, Heart of the Death God, Fire God Power, Magic Power Source, Dragon Language, Twin Star Power Mo Xiao looked at the nearly doubled attributes in front of him, feeling ecstatic. Although it looked like he was only level 10 now, his currentbat strength wasparable to a level 30 or 40 professional even without the Dragon God¡¯s Descent! Although he couldn¡¯t be considered a high-level yer, he definitely possessed remarkable abilities. After all, with his attributes, who wouldn¡¯t be confused! Who could tell that he was only a level 10 novice! ¡°To reach level 11, I need 80,000 experience points. No wonder leveling up is so difficult. The gap between each level is toorge,¡± Mo Xiao muttered, furrowing his brows as he looked at his experience bar. ¡°If only a few more bosses would appear for me to kill.¡± With that in mind, Mo Xiao shook his head and looked at the ce where the skeletal dragon had been lying earlier. Right after he had defeated the skeletal dragon, another magic array appeared here. Clearly, this magic circle was the teleportation portal to the secret realm. This was the main purpose of Mo Xiao¡¯s trip to Deadman¡¯s Canyon. After confirming that everything was fine with a quick look around, Mo Xiao directly stepped onto the teleportation portal at the center of the open space. [Discovered Secret Realm Teleportation Portal. Would you like to consume experience points to activate it? (100 points)] ¡°What the hell? It requires experience points?¡± Mo Xiao sighed in frustration and thought, ¡°Confirmed.¡± [Ding, activation failed. Your current level is 10, insufficient to enter the secret realm. Please reach the required level before attempting again.] ¡°Oh my god! Are you kidding me? After all the effort I put in! You¡¯re telling me I need to be level 20 to enter?!¡± Seeing this prompt, Mo Xiao mmed the Death Necromancer Staff in his hand hard on the ground, almost getting angry to death. Looking at the gradually dimming magic circle beneath his feet, although Mo Xiao was itching with anger, he could only sigh helplessly. After all, this was something dictated by thews of the world. No matter how unhappy he was, he couldn¡¯t do anything about it. Chapter 23 Instance Dungeon Hall Since he could not enter the secret realm, Mo Xiao had no choice but to go back. Originally, he intended to continue leveling up in this Deadman¡¯s Canyon. However, the Dragon God¡¯s Descent had almost insta-killed all the monsters in the entire canyon. Although they could respawn, the efficiency was too low. Moreover, Mo Xiao now understood. If he wanted to level up quickly, he had to kill elite monsters or bosses. The experience gained from these ordinary small monsters was simply too little. Even if he fought them after leveling up by 10 levels, the experience given was pitiful. Moreover, the experience gap between levels was exaggerated. Even if he spent day and night grinding monsters in the wilderness, he probably wouldn¡¯t level up much. ¡°No wonder so many people want to go to secret realms and dungeons, the leveling speed in the wilderness is too low¡­¡± Mo Xiao looked around and muttered to himself: ¡°I should ask the teacher about dungeons when I go back.¡± ¡­ By the time Mo Xiao returned to the base city, it was alreadypletely dark. He had originally nned to find the ss teacher to ask about the dungeons. However, since it was already nighttime, Mo Xiao decided to go home and rest. After all, today was Mo Xiao¡¯s first day in this transmigration, and although the feeling of fighting monsters and leveling up was indeed exhrating, the appearance of various events also made Mo Xiao mentally exhausted. Following the memories left by the original owner, Mo Xiao quickly returned to his shabby low-rent apartment. ¡°My predecessor really lived in a run-down ce¡­¡± Looking at the old and dpidated house, Mo Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s worse than the rented room I lived in my past life. ¡°Sigh, when I sell the materials tomorrow, I should have quite a bit of money. I¡¯ll find a better ce to live then. After all, I¡¯m a rare professional. I can¡¯t live so shabbily.¡± Talking to himself, Mo Xiao copsed onto the bed. Immediately,an intense feeling of exhaustion surged over him, and he fell into a deep sleep. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- Meanwhile, outside the instance dungeon Hall in Yicheng Base City. ¡°Lord Mayor, are you sure you want all the new students to directly enter the dungeon for leveling tomorrow? Although the dungeon provides more experience, there are far more elite monsters and mini-bosses insidepared to outside!¡± Jiang Shan, with his hands in his pockets, said with aplicated expression. The Mayor sighed lightly. ¡°It¡¯s still safer than outside.¡± Hearing this, Jiang Shan¡¯s eyes slightly changed. ¡°Did you receive any information?¡± ¡°Yeah, the news from above is that those guys from the otherworld have done something to hinder our development. It¡¯s not just today; from now on, every day may have those kinds of elite monsters, and they will only be stronger.¡± The Mayor nodded gently. Jiang Shan¡¯s expression became solemn. ¡°Do they want to suppress our strength?¡± ¡°That¡¯s about it. Even if we always have top-tier professionals guarding, we can¡¯t protect all the neers well, especially the powerful neers who act alone. We don¡¯t even know when and where they go.¡± The Mayor had a serious expression. ¡°So, it¡¯s better to let them enter the dungeon early. Our Mayor¡¯s Office will pay a price and give some benefits to the neers.¡± While saying this, the Mayor kept looking at Jiang Shan. Seeing the Mayor¡¯s gaze, Jiang Shan couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Stop it. I know what that look in your eyes means. You want the Jiang family to contribute money and effort!¡± ¡°Hehe, the instance dungeon hall in our Base City was established by your Jiang family and¡­ that guy together. There¡¯s a lot of profit involved. Just take out a little, consider it benefiting the masses.¡± The Mayor chuckled. ¡°Besides, even if I don¡¯t adjust the dungeon level restrictions now, the higher-ups will demand it in a couple of days.¡± Jiang Shan gave him a speechless nce. ¡°I¡¯m not the family head. It¡¯s not up to me to decide. Why don¡¯t you go talk to him yourself?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to get beaten up. I¡¯m entrusting this matter to you. Say hi to my elder sister for me. I¡¯m leaving.¡± With that, the Mayor wanted to slip away. ¡°Wait! I want something from you.¡± ¡°No problem! As long as you help me handle Big Brother, I¡¯ll give you anything you want!¡± the Mayor said generously. Jiang Shan squinted his eyes slightly. ¡°Give me what that person left behind.¡± ¡°¡­ ¡± The Mayor was momentarily stunned, looking at Jiang Shan with a somewhat strange expression. ¡°You encountered that kid?¡± Jiang Shan nodded. ¡°He¡¯s even more extraordinary than before. Keeping this thing won¡¯t do you any good. Return it to his family. When this kid reaches a higher level, he might remember your favor.¡± The Mayor sighed. ¡°A favor? It would be good enough if he doesn¡¯t hold a grudge against me¡­¡± With that, the Mayor shook his head slightly and casually tossed a small bag into Jiang Shan¡¯s hand. ¡°Give it to him in the name of your Jiang family. I¡¯m entrusting this kid to you. I hope to see him in the national college entrance examination in two months.¡± ¡°With his abilities, not only will he be present in the national college entrance examination, but he will also undoubtedly secure the first position.¡± Watching the Mayor leave, Jiang Shan smiled faintly, but suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky above the instance dungeon hall. ¡°What do you say, Sister-inw? Shall we pay a price?¡± As Jiang Shan¡¯s voice resounded, a graceful woman slowly appeared on the roof of the instance dungeon hall. Her appearance was seven parts simr to Jiang He¡¯s, and she quietly watched the departing Mayor. ¡°Hmph, this guy is still the same. His scheme is as clear as day!¡± Chapter 24 Instance Dungeon Hall (2) ¡°He¡¯s the Mayor now. It¡¯s normal for him to consider the well-being of the people in the city,¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile. The woman nced at Jiang Shan and said, ¡°Are you still a member of my Jiang family?¡± ¡°Ahaha¡­¡± ¡°I heard that Jiang He came to look for you today?¡± The woman could not be bothered to continue arguing with Jiang Shan and asked directly. Jiang Shan nodded slightly and said, ¡°Yes, she asked me for a small favor.¡± ¡°Is she alright?¡± The woman asked after a moment of hesitation. Jiang Shan felt speechless and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you just ask her directly?¡± ¡°This girl has grown up. She doesn¡¯t want to tell everything to her old mother anymore,¡± the woman sighed softly. The dominance she had previously disappeared instantly, reced by deep resentment. Jiang Shan¡¯s mouth twitched slightly and he said, ¡°You probably asked her something that annoyed her again, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Seeing the woman¡¯s reaction, Jiang Shan quickly raised his hand, conceding defeat. ¡°Your boss, whatever you say. By the way, do you know that the kid from the Mo family has changed his profession and is very familiar with Little Jiang He?¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- The next morning, Mo Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and nced at the time. He instantly jumped up from the bed. ¡°Oh no, oh no! I overslept! I¡¯ll bete¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Mo Xiao froze and sat back on his hard bed. ¡°Wait¡­ I have already traveled through time. I don¡¯t have to go to work.¡± Mo Xiao stretchedzily, although he had the thought of going back to bed for a little longer. However, he managed to suppress hisziness and quickly freshened up. Just as Mo Xiao was having breakfast, a notification sound echoed in his mind. [Special Announcement: Allbat ss students, please gather at the Instance Dungeon Hall!] ¡°The instance dungeon hall?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s eyebrows furrowed when he saw the message. ¡°Wasn¡¯t it said that we could only start doing instances at level 10? Why are they asking everyone to go to the instance dungeon hall now?¡± Mo Xiao had heard about instances from others before, but it was not something openly discussed. However, regarding instance dungeons, they usually wouldn¡¯t directly mention it. Even if the school taught instances, they would not call people to the instance dungeon hall. After all, the instance dungeon hall was the core of the entire base city. Almost all thebat-ss professionals in the city would go to the instance dungeon hall to level up. Looking at the information on the interface, Mo Xiao quickly finished his breakfast. After quickly finishing his breakfast, Mo Xiao looked at the information on the interface and immediately opened the system¡¯s navigation to head towards the instance dungeon hall. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- The instance dungeon hall was the core and most important ce in the entire base city. Not only that, but it also housed the most organized and reasonable trading market. Materials, equipment, and skill books could all be traded here. Periodically, auctions were held for yers to auction high-level items. Of course, these were secondary. The most important aspect was the instances within the instance dungeon hall. The levels of the instances varied in each base city. Although Yicheng Base City was also a base city, it couldn¡¯tpare to thoserger cities. The highest-level instance dungeons here were only level 30. After reaching the first ss, leveling up here would be somewhat challenging. The lowest-level instances were at level 5. Although the low-level instances ranged from level 1 to 5, as long as you underwent a ss change, you could enter. However, inside these instances, there would always be a set number of elite monsters and bosses. These monsters were not something a level five novice could handle. Moreover,pared to the wild monsters in the wild, the monsters in the instances were clearly more difficult to deal with. That was why the base city had regtions that required neers to familiarize themselves with their abilities before entering the instance dungeons to fight monsters. Level 10 was the minimum requirement. Guided by the system map, Mo Xiao quickly arrived at the instance dungeon hall. It was a magnificent and ancient pce, distinct from the rest of the city. This also highlighted its uniqueness. Inside the hall, many people were already organizing their equipment and supplies, preparing to start leveling up in the instances. ¡°Mo Xiao, you¡¯re here!¡± Just as Mo Xiao was observing the grand hall in front of him, the familiar voice of Jiang He suddenly sounded in his ears. ¡°Okay.¡± Looking at Jiang He who hade to his side, Mo Xiao nodded slightly and did not say anything. Jiang He was used to Mo Xiao¡¯s cold demeanor and cheerfully said, ¡°I heard that just yesterday, more than 30 people from our batch died.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao also looked at Jiang He in surprise. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°We received the news from the Mayor¡¯s Mansion. They said there are many mutant elite monsters in other ces, and many people disappear when they encounter them. Luckily, you¡¯re safe,¡± Jiang He said, his face filled with relief. Mo Xiao opened his mouth slightly in response and changed the topic, ¡°Do you know why the school called us all here today?¡± ¡°I heard from Uncle Jiang Shan that the Mayor felt that the problem of mutant elite monsters could not be resolved for the time being. In order to ensure our rtive safety, he activated the dungeon authority in advance and let us all enter the instance dungeons to level up.¡± Jiang He answered truthfully. ¡°After all, in instances, even if you can¡¯t defeat the monsters, you can just run away. As long as you can return to the entrance, you cane out directly. It¡¯s safer than being outside.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully, ¡°I see.¡± Jiang He asked with a smile, ¡°Mo Xiao, what level are you? Do you want us to go to the instance dungeon togetherter? I¡¯m already level six, so I can definitely help you. ¡°Although I haven¡¯t been to the instances, my family has told me all the information about the first few instances, and even some strategies,¡± she added. Hearing this, Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He: ¡°I¡¯m already level 10¡± Jiang He¡¯s eyes widened instantly, and she realized that the equipment Mo Xiao had seemed extraordinary. ¡°As expected of the person I think highly of. You¡¯re amazing,¡± she said. Just as Jiang He was happily expressing her admiration, that piercing voice resounded in their ears again. ¡°Mo Xiao?! You¡¯re still alive?!¡± Hearing that voice, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression darkened, and he calmly looked towards the source of the voice. He saw Su Wei staring at him in disbelief. When he had sent people to follow Mo Xiao yesterday, he had already considered him dead. Although Su Wei couldn¡¯t contact those people afterward, he assumed that they had stolen Mo Xiao¡¯s orange-tier weapon and fled. He never expected that Mo Xiao was still alive. ¡°How could you still be alive? I sent a level 30 person to deal with you!¡± Su Wei blurted out and quickly covered his mouth. Mo Xiao looked at Su Wei, his gaze incredibly cold and indifferent, and calmly said, ¡°Those trash could never be my opponents. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s your turn next. I hope you stay put and don¡¯t give me a chance.¡± After saying that, Mo Xiao ignored Su Wei and turned his head to chat with Jiang He. Just as Su Wei was standing there trembling with a pale face, Li Xun finally arrived. ¡°Ah, sorry, everyone. It was ast-minute notice from the school, and I arrivedte. My apologies!¡± Li Xun said, seeing the strange expressions on the students¡¯ faces. Looking at Li Xun¡¯s sudden appearance, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, ¡°Li Xun is in Life upation, right? Can he really guide us?¡± Jiang He¡¯s expression also became strange, and she said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Li Xun noticed the students¡¯ perplexed expressions and smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯m just here to collect information about your levels and numbers. I¡¯m just a life professional. I¡¯ve never entered an instance dungeon before, so I can¡¯t lead you guys.¡± Hearing this exnation, the students heaved a sigh of relief. Just as Li Xun started counting, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and appeared beside Jiang He. ¡°Yo, Mo Xiao, right? How was yesterday~¡± Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao with a smile on his face. Without thinking, he directly used the Detection Technique on Mo Xiao. ¡°What the f*ck?! You¡¯re already Level 10?!¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s eyes instantly widened. ¡°What the f*ck is this panel? This is an attribute that can only be obtained at Level 10?! Are you kidding me?!¡± Looking at Jiang Shan¡¯s inexperienced expression, Mo Xiao speechlessly rolled his eyes at him. ¡°What a fuss.¡± Chapter 25 Instance Dungeon Medal, Jiang Shan¡¯s Deal ¡°Uncle, it is impolite to inquire about everyone¡¯s attributes and skills like this.¡± Just as Jiang Shan was curious and about to ask further questions, Jiang He, who was standing beside him, interrupted him directly. ¡°Why are you trying to pry into other people¡¯s business, youngdy?¡± Jiang Shan looked at Jiang He, who was staring at him intently. He felt a little helpless. ¡°Alright, alright. I won¡¯t ask anymore.¡± ¡°Young man, you killed the mutant elite outside the city yesterday, which can be considered as a contribution. Normally, you should be rewarded with merit points. ¡°However, since you are still a neer and what you need the most is self-protection and means of leveling up, based on the discussions in our mayor¡¯s mansion, it has been decided to give you practical rewards.¡± As he spoke, Jiang Shan casually tossed a small bag into Mo Xiao¡¯s hand. [Obtained Special Storage Bag *1] A special storage bag? Seeing this name, Mo Xiao subconsciously raised his eyebrows. He had obtained a lot of storage bags when he was fighting monsters. However, the things that came out of them were all useless trinkets. When Jiang Shan saw Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, he directly said: Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, Jiang Shan directly said, ¡°This thing is not something you get from killing those rabbits. It¡¯s just a special packaging method used to prevent others from seeing what¡¯s inside. You can look inside it yourself, but don¡¯t foolishly tell others about it.¡± Mo Xiao casually put the storage bag into his backpack and looked at Jiang Shan with some doubt. ¡°If it¡¯s to prevent others from seeing, why not just send an email or make a deal?¡± ¡°It¡¯s for some ridiculous sense of ceremony,¡± Jiang Shan sighed helplessly. ¡°Alright, take a look at this thing when you get back. The instance dungeon is about to open.¡± Saying that, Jiang Shan turned around and walked towards the entrance of the instance dungeon hall. On the side, Su Wei watched this scene with an unbelieving expression on his face. ¡°How could this be? Mo Xiao is just a poor kid, isn¡¯t he? Why would the Deputy Mayor go and talk to him alone? I haven¡¯t really gotten involved with someone important, have I?¡± Su Wei shivered involuntarily as he spoke and instinctively moved into the crowd. As time passed, more and more neers gathered in the square outside the entrance of the instance dungeon hall. After confirming that the person had arrived, a loud voice suddenly rang out at the entrance of the instance dungeon hall. ¡°Silence!¡± Instantly, everyone¡¯s gaze turned towards the entrance, where Jiang Shan stood with a serious expression on his face. ¡°Jiang He, who is this uncle of yours? Is he also from the school?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan, whose appearance had changed from before, and asked with some confusion. ¡°He is the Deputy Mayor and also the Third Hall Master of the instance dungeon hall. Don¡¯t you know?¡± Jiang He said with some surprise. Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully. ¡°Oh¡­ no wonder.¡± At the same time, at the entrance of the hall, Jiang Shan looked around and said directly, ¡°Now that you have all changed your professions and gone through yesterday, you can barely be considered qualified professionals! I won¡¯t waste time with unnecessary words. ¡°Due to some special reasons, the instance dungeon hall, which originally required reaching level 10 to enter, is now open to all of you directly! However, the danger level of the monsters in the instance is far greater than that in the wilderness, but the experience and drop rates are also higher than the outside! ¡°Except for those who have reached level ten, anyone else who wants to enter the instance must form a five-person team. Safety is the priority! ¡°The details will be automatically prompted to you after your first entry into the instance. The end of the hall is the instance for levels 1-5. Except for those who have reached level 10, everyone else can only go to that instance. Understand?¡± ¡°Understood!¡± ¡°Good! Dismissed! Form your own teams and go to the instance!¡± Obviously, the person Jiang Shan mentioned who had reached level 10 was Mo Xiao. However, the others naturally wouldn¡¯t ask, as they didn¡¯t believe that anyone could reach level 10 in a single day without relying on instance dungeons. As Jiang Shan called for dismissal, everyone immediately rushed into the instance dungeon hall. Only Mo Xiao was stopped by Jiang Shan. ¡°Kid,e here. I want to make a deal with you.¡± Jiang Shan pulled Mo Xiao to his side and said with his arm around his shoulders. Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan beside him and asked curiously, ¡°What deal?¡± ¡°Little Jiang He is only level 5 now. If she teams up with others to go to low-level instances, leveling up would be too slow. You¡¯re already level 10. Can you team up with Little Jiang He and help her level up?¡± Jiang Shan said excitedly. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao instinctively nced at Jiang Shan and pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°Since it¡¯s a deal, what¡¯s in it for me?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you this.¡± As Jiang Shan spoke, he took out a small, delicate medal, and an attribute panel appeared in front of Mo Xiao. [Instance Dungeon Medal] Quality: Blue Spirit: +1 Amplification (Passive): Wearing this medal increases instance experience by 10% and monster experience by 20%. Reset (Active): Can reset the cooldown time of instance dungeons. CD: 12 hours. Weapon Level: Level 10 ¡°Instance dungeon medal?¡± Jiang Shan smirked, ¡°This is a good item I obtained after clearing the inferno-level instance. Originally, it was meant for Little Jiang He, but her current strength is not enough. As long as you¡¯re willing to protect Jiang He and help her level up, this item will be yours. ¡°Not only that, but if you agree, everything you buy in the instance dungeon hall will be discounted by 40%! How about it?¡± ¡°40% off? Do you have the authority to decide?¡± Mo Xiao asked with some skepticism. Jiang Shan patted his chest and said, ¡°Of course! After all, I¡¯m the third hall master of this dungeon!¡± ¡°What about selling things?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and continued to ask. ¡°Hmm? Do you want to sell something? The trading post is actually pretty good, but if you have any particrly good materials or equipment, you can ask Jiang He for help. She can assist you through the Jiang family¡¯s channels,¡± Jiang Shan said after thinking for a moment. ¡°For example, this.¡± Mo Xiao reached out and took out a small ss bottle containing a reddish-purple liquid. Jiang Shan frowned as he looked at the object in front of him and asked with confusion, ¡°What is this? Healing potion?¡± [Dragon King Blood Essence] Quality: Gold Description: An ultimate herb and forging material. Adding some essence to alchemy or forging can greatly enhance their attributes! ¡°I¡¯m sorry?! Where did you get this, kid?¡± Jiang Shan eximed loudly upon seeing it, then quickly covered his mouth. ¡°Can you actually get something like this in the beginner¡¯s map?!¡± Mo Xiao put away the essence and said, ¡°I got it from Deadman¡¯s Canyon. Judging from your reaction, this item should be quite precious.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s first be friends, and then you can take Jiang He to level up. I¡¯ll inquire about this essence for you and make sure to sell it at a good price!¡± Chapter 26 Blueprint for the Thousand-Machine Umbre??? After saying that, Jiang Shan didn¡¯t care whether Mo Xiao agreed or not. He simply threw the instance dungeon medal at Mo Xiao and disappeared in a sh of white light. ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao looked at the medal in his hand and without thinking, he rubbed it lightly. [You rubbed the instance dungeon medal and it evolved into an upgraded medal.] [You rubbed the upgraded medal and it evolved into an experience medal.] [Experience Medal] Quality: Gold Spirit: +10 Amplification (Passive): Increases all experience gains by 50% when equipped. Reset (Active): Resets the cooldown time of dungeons. CD: 2 hours. Sharing (Passive): Your teammates also receive a 20% experience bonus. ¡°50% increase and sharing too? That¡¯s a great item.¡± As Mo Xiao read the description of the medal, his eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately equipped it. Then he took out the storage bag he had obtained earlier, and instinctively rubbed it. [This item has special properties and cannot be evolved.] ¡°It really can¡¯t be sublimated¡­¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself and directly opened the storage bag in his hand. [You obtained a life skill book: Forging Art.] [You obtained a blueprint: Thousand-Machine.] ¡°Hmm? Forging Art? Blueprint?? What are these things? Do they want me to be a cksmith?¡± Looking at the two items that appeared in his hand, Mo Xiao was a bit confused. ¡°Whatever, let¡¯s just rub them for good luck!¡± [You rubbed the skill book Forging Art and it evolved into Sacred Forging Art.] [You rubbed the Sacred Forging Art and it evolved into Divine Forging Art!] ¡°Oh? This thing can be upgraded twice?¡± [Divine Forging Technique: The most advanced forging technique in the world. It has a 95% sess rate in forging, a 50% chance of quality enhancement, a 50% chance of attribute amplification, and a 50% chance of skill augmentation. Requires blueprints.] ¡°Sounds impressive¡­ The only drawback is that it requires blueprints. With this skill and a little rubbing, it seems like I can get rich instantly!¡± [You rubbed the Thousand-Machine blueprint and it was upgraded to an all-purpose weapon.] ¡°Hmm¡­ Can only rub it once.¡± After rubbing it, Mo Xiao immediately began browsing the blueprint in front of him. ¡°This¡­ Isn¡¯t this the Thousand-Machine Umbre?!¡± Upon seeing the appearance of the blueprint, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened. This blueprint was abination of countless weapons capable of transforming into various forms during battles. It was exactly like the thousand-machine umbre of full-time experts. It was a weapon specifically made for casual yers, and after the blueprint evolved, it gained a brand new function¡ªit could freely change the materials and equipment inside. As long as the attributes and level were higher than the current ones, they could be directly reced without any material restrictions. [Universal Armament Blueprint, required materials: Death Spider Web *18, Dragon Bone *8, Illusory Stone *1, Dark Gold Mother Stone *1, Grade 3 Profound Iron *9¡­] ¡°These materials, except for Dragon Bone, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen any of them¡­¡± Mo Xiao looked at the blueprint in his hand, feeling a bit confused. He sighed helplessly and casually stored it in his backpack. ¡°I¡¯ll ask others about itter.¡± Mo Xiao naturally would not ask Jiang Shan. Since this thing was given to him by him, he must have seen the blueprint. Now that Mo Xiao had evolved the blueprint himself, if he asked Jiang Shan for different materials, it would surely raise some suspicions. He didn¡¯t want to expose his ability to ¡°rub¡± things. While Mo Xiao was pondering about how to forge, Jiang He¡¯s voice suddenly rang in his ears. ¡°Huh? Why are you here alone? Where¡¯s my uncle? Didn¡¯t he say he had something to tell meter?¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and replied, ¡°He had something to attend to and left.¡± ¡°What? This guy doesn¡¯t act like an elder at all! Still so unreliable! What a waste of my time!¡± Jiang He expressed her displeasure upon hearing this. However, at that moment, a team invitation suddenly appeared in front of Jiang He. ¡°Hmm?¡± Jiang He, who was previouslyining, was taken aback. Then she looked at Mo Xiao with an expression of disbelief. ¡°Mo Xiao¡­ Are you¡­ inviting me to join your team?!¡± Mo Xiao nodded and calmly said, ¡°Jiang Shan asked me to bring you along. If you don¡¯t want to, forget it.¡± ¡°I want to, I want to! Wait for me!¡± Jiang He quickly clicked on the agreement button but then froze again. ¡°Sharing? Experience bonus¡­ 20%?!¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°It¡¯s just the effect of an equipment. Don¡¯t tell anyone.¡± Jiang He quickly covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t say much either. Since it was a transaction, he would naturally do his part. After saying that, the two of them directly entered the depths of the dungeon¡¯s main hall. There were not many people left at this point, only a dozen or so were still discussing team formations and loot distribution. In front of them were several teleportation gates, with each gate disying the name of a dungeon and the rmended level. They also showed thepletion time of each cleared dungeon. Just as Jiang He was about to head towards the level 1-5 dungeons, Mo Xiao stopped at the entrance of the level 10-15 dungeon. ¡°Mo Xiao? Shouldn¡¯t we start with lower-level dungeons to test the waters?¡± Jiang He expressed her concern upon seeing this. Mo Xiao shook his head. ¡°Time is precious. We shouldn¡¯t waste it on low-level dungeons.¡± ¡°Is this guy crazy? The Third Hall Master explicitly forbade it. Unless we reach level ten, we can only go to level 1-5 dungeons.¡± ¡°Why do you care? If he wants to die, let him.¡± ¡°Hehe, guess how long they can stay inside? I bet they¡¯ll run out within two minutes!¡± ¡°I bet they¡¯ll be stuck in there forever! They won¡¯t be able to get out!¡± ¡°Hahahaha!¡± As Jiang He listened to their impolite remarks, her eyebrows furrowed. She was about to refute them when she noticed that the dungeon entrance in front of her suddenly emitted a dangerous red glow. Then, a system panel appeared in front of her. [Are you sure you want to enter the purgatory-level dungeon, ck Ant Nest?] Jiang He subconsciously nced at Mo Xiao. ¡°Mo Xiao? Are you serious?¡± Mo Xiao nodded calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, trust me.¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯sposed expression, Jiang He gritted her teeth and clicked on the confirmation button. Instantly, the two of them transformed into a stream of light and entered the dungeon. ¡°The dungeon entrance just emitted a red light¡­ Isn¡¯t that the glow that appears in purgatory-level or higher dungeons?¡± ¡°Damn¡­ Are these two people crazy? Going straight to a purgatory-level dungeon as beginners?¡± ¡°They¡¯re simply seeking death! This is a map for level ten and above, and they dare to enter a purgatory-level dungeon! They¡¯ll probably have no idea how to write the word ¡®death¡¯ by the end!¡± ¡°Hey, haven¡¯t you recognized them yet? That¡¯s Mo Xiao who killed a mutant elite monster single-handedly yesterday! Maybe he really can handle it!¡± Chapter 27 ck Ant Nest [Beep, you have entered the purgatory-level map, ck Ant Nest!] As a system prompt sounded, Mo Xiao slowly opened his eyes. Before him stretched an immense primeval forest. Every tree had grown so thick that it would take two or three people to encircle them. They soared into the sky, their tops invisible, while the grass beneath their feet stood over half a meter tall. As long as the monsters were slightly smaller in size, they could easily hide in the thickets. [You have entered an instance dungeon. Your current location is the entrance/exit of the dungeon. You can leave the dungeon at any time through this location.] [If you leave the dungeon early, the dungeon experience will be based on thepletion progress of the dungeon.] [The current dungeon difficulty is purgatory-level, with a 30% increase in monster quantity, a 50% increase in monster attributes, and a 10% increase in elite monsters.] [Dungeon clearance condition: defeat the ck Ant Queen.] [Side quest: kill ck Ants (0/20), kill ck Worker Ants (0/20), kill ck Soldier Ants (0/10), kill ck Thorny Ants (0/5), kill the ck Ant Queen (0/1). The higher thepletion, the more experience gained; the faster thepletion, the richer the rewards.] ¡°Both the attributes and the quantity have increased so much?¡± Jiang He looked at the task prompt in front of him with worry all over his face. ¡°Mo Xiao, did we act a bit recklessly?¡± Mo Xiao looked around and said calmly, ¡°Let¡¯s see the attributes of the monsters first before deciding.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a series of faint sounds suddenly came from behind them. Both of them turned to look and saw a huge ck ant, half the height of a person and two meters long, emerging directly from the ground. It tilted its head and stared at the two of them. Its two ck antennae kept swaying. [ck Ant] Level: LV 10 HP: 1,500/1,500 Strength: 200 Agility: 30 Spirit: 10 Endurance: 50 Physique: 150 Bite: Inflicts massive physical damage on the target with its huge mandibles! Acid Spray: Spits highly concentrated acid from its mouth, causing corrosive damage. ¡°Such high attributes!¡± Jiang He looked at the huge ck ant in front of her and took a step back in fear. Not to mention its attributes, just the fact that it¡¯s an insect is enough to make Jiang He, a girl, tremble in her heart. ¡°It¡¯s not particrly high,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly, raising his staff casually. ¡°Monsters like insects should be weak against fire¡­¡± Explosive fireball! With a low shout from Mo Xiao, a huge fireball instantly shot out from the tip of the staff. It smashed into the ck ant¡¯s huge head. ¡°Boom!¡± Apanied by a violent roar, the massive fireball burst on the ck ant. The scorching mes burned fiercely on the ck ant¡¯s body as if it had touched gasoline, and a foul smell filled the air. -1,000 -300 -300 ¡­ [You killed a ck ant and gained 300 experience points.] ¡°Wow! Such a high experience!¡± Before Mo Xiao could even speak, Jiang He eximed, ¡°I gained 240 experience points just from this one ant!¡± ¡°Yes, the monster experience here is indeed high, even higher than in Deadman¡¯s Canyon.¡± [You have killed a regr ck ant. The aura of death has rmed the entire ck Ant Nest, and the ck ants have entered a state of alertness. Please be careful.] ¡°Alertness? It seems impossible to sneak past them now,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly, casually looting the ck ant¡¯s corpse. Then, Mo Xiao lightly tapped the ground with his staff. And a massive skeletal lord appeared directly in front of him. [Skeleton Lord] HP: 5,500/5,500 Level: LV 10 Strength: 550 Agility: 360 Spirit: 480 Endurance: 1,000 Physique: 550 ¡°Skeleton Lord?!¡± Seeing the sudden appearance of the skeleton lord, Jiang He¡¯s face turned pale, and she immediately grabbed Mo Xiao¡¯s arm, wanting to run away with him. ¡°Quick, run! This might be a boss-level boss! Its attributes are super high!¡± ¡°Calm down, calm down. Haven¡¯t you noticed that its name is in white?¡± Mo Xiao grabbed Jiang He, who was trying to escape, and said somewhat helplessly. ¡°White?¡± Jiang He was momentarily stunned at his words and looked up. Indeed, the name of the skeleton lord on the panel was white, indicating that it was in a friendly state. ¡°This is my skill. I can summon the skeleton lord,¡± Mo Xiao calmly exined. Upon hearing this, Jiang He¡¯s mouth opened in astonishment, unable to utter a single word. Mo Xiao ignored Jiang He¡¯s stunned state and directly addressed the skeleton lord, ¡°Summon your soldiers and search for the ck ant nest. If you encounter ck ants, kill them directly. Start from the east and head north.¡± The skeleton lord nodded lightly in response and immediately let out a loud shout. Twenty skeleton soldiers crawled out from underground and, following the skeleton lord¡¯smand, scattered in all directions. ¡°Twenty? It seems that the level 10 skeleton lord¡¯s skills have also been enhanced,¡± Mo Xiao nodded in satisfaction. He then sat down on the ground and waited for news from the skeleton lord. At this moment, Jiang He also snapped out of her daze and asked cautiously, ¡°Mo Xiao, where did you get these skills? Aren¡¯t skill books expensive?¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°Let¡¯s just say I stumbled upon a treasure. I can¡¯t give you specific details.¡± ¡°A treasure?¡± Although curious, Jiang He understood that it was clearly Mo Xiao¡¯s secret, and she shouldn¡¯t inquire further. ¡°A treasure?¡± Although curious, Jiang He understood that it was clearly Mo Xiao¡¯s secret, and she shouldn¡¯t inquire further. ¡°No need. Let the skeleton lord investigate first.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao directly opened the map. The originally pitch-ck map gradually revealed the terrain and routes as the skeleton lord triggered it. Just as Jiang He was feeling surprised, the system panel suddenly lit up. [You killed a ck ant and gained 300 experience points.] [You killed a ck ant and gained 300 experience points.] [You killed a ck ant and gained 300 experience points.] [You have killed a ck worker ant and gained 400 experience points.] ¡°ck worker ants? I¡¯ve encountered a second type of monster. Looks like it¡¯s stronger than the ck ant. My experience actually increased by 100 points.¡± Mo Xiao looked at the system panel and sighed. ¡°Wow, Mo Xiao, this skeleton lord is so strong! It can kill so many ck ants in one go!¡± Jiang He eximed excitedly. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Looking at Mo Xiao, who was calmly sitting there with his eyes closed, Jiang He suddenly felt a sense of unreality. Previously, she had struggled and fought hard to reach level 6 while leveling up. Now that she was following Mo Xiao, as long as she sat here and waited, her experience points would directly increase. It was really too surreal. Chapter 28 Instant Kill or Getting Killed ¡°If I had known that leveling up with you would be so easy, I would have forcefully formed a team with you.¡± Jiang He said, looking at the constantly refreshing system panel in front of him. ¡°I only learned this skillst night, so before that, teaming up with me wouldn¡¯t have made much of a difference for you either.¡± Mo Xiao was not lying to Jiang He. His leveling speed was actually about the same as Jiang He¡¯s. His leveling speed was actually about the same as Jiang He¡¯s. It was only because he had managed to kill a Bronze-level boss at the end that he was able to reach level ten in one go. ¡°Alright, but if you let the Skeleton Lord kill the monsters, what about the materials they drop? Don¡¯t you need them?¡± Jiang He suddenly asked as if she had thought of something. ¡°No worries. The drops from the monsters it kills will automatically be collected into my backpack. After we finish the dungeon, we can split them evenly.¡± Just like that, the two of them chatted for half an hour. Jiang He had also unknowingly advanced to Level 7. Just then, a series of red messages appeared directly on their information panels. [The Skeleton Soldier was killed by Elite ck Ant Soldier!] [The Skeleton Soldier was killed by Elite ck Ant Soldier!] [The Skeleton Soldier was killed by Elite ck Ant Soldier!] ¡­ [The Skeleton Lord was killed by Elite ck Ant Soldier!¡±] ¡°What?¡± Mo Xiao stood up immediately upon seeing this message. It was normal for the Skeleton Soldiers to be killed since they were just ordinary little skeleton soldiers. But the skeleton lord, a summonparable to a boss, was actually killed just like that? Mo Xiao furrowed his brow and quickly opened the map. He saw that the ce where the skeleton lord was killed was actually a cave. ¡°Looks like we¡¯ve found the nest of the ck Ants.¡± Seeing Mo Xiao getting up, Jiang He also stood up quickly and asked, ¡°Are we going there?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and frowned. They were about to face an elite monster capable of killing the skeleton lord. Jiang He was only level seven now, and she was still using the mystic iron bow he had given her yesterday. Although it might not be necessary for her to participate in the uing battle, it would be better to arm her, just in case. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang He blushed subconsciously when she noticed Mo Xiao staring at her. ¡°This is for you. Protect yourself with it.¡± Saying so, Mo Xiao casually tossed a longbow shimmering with orange light, directly into Jiang He¡¯s hands. ¡°Huh? This is¡­ the Bow of Stars?! Orange equipment????¡± Jiang He eximed when she saw the attributes of the equipment. ¡°I-I-I can¡¯t ept this!¡± Mo Xiaopletely ignored Jiang He¡¯s protest and calmly said, ¡°Consider it sold to you. Just give me something of equivalent value after you leave. Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ve found the nest, and we can prepare to clear this dungeon.¡± Jiang He wasn¡¯t someone who would fuss or hesitate. Without wasting any more words, she followed closely behind Mo Xiao and walked toward the cave marked on the map. Before long, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the cave. There, they saw a giant ck ant, two or three timesrger than the previous ck ants, feasting on bones at the entrance. The enormous mandibles on its head were incredibly menacing. [Elite ¨C ck Soldier Ant] Level: Level 13 HP: 3,000/3,000 Strength: 700 Agility: 500 Spirit: 10 Endurance: 70 Physique: 300 Devouring Bite: mps down on the opponent with its massive mandibles, with a certain chance to directly sever the opponent and instantly kill them. Ant Soldier¡¯s Power: Passive skill that can break through defenses five times stronger than its own strength. Charge: Uses its massive body to ram into you, causing a 1-second stun and significant damage. ¡°No wonder it got killed. Thebination of this strength value and skills is too terrifying. It¡¯s the nemesis of tank sses.¡± Mo Xiao sighed as he looked at the attributes of the ck ant soldier, and he once again held his staff, saying, ¡°Jiang He, when I attack, follow along and attack as well. Don¡¯t stay too far away from me, get it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m abat professional! Let me try out my new equipment!¡± Jiang He smiled and took out the Bow of Stars, aiming at the ck Soldier Ant. Seeing this, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t waste any words. He tapped his staff on the ground, and the skeleton lord appeared once again. ¡°Dragon Wings! ¡°Power Halo! ¡°Full-strength attack! ¡°Soul Extinguishing ck me!¡± -90,000! A huge red number instantly appeared above the elite ck ant soldier¡¯s head. Clearly, he had triggered ten times the damage of the power of a thousand catties. Leaving the ck soldier ant no chance to resist, he instantly killed it. When Jiang He, who was nocking an arrow, saw this scene, her eyes instantly zed over. Ny thousand¡­ Even though it was thebined effect of four skills, she was only level 10¡­ Isn¡¯t 90,000 damage a bit excessive!? Looking at Jiang He¡¯s dumbfounded expression, Mo Xiao awkwardly scratched his head and said, ¡°Um¡­ Insects are weak against fire, so¡­¡± ¡°But even with fire, it¡¯s impossible to deal 90,000 damage, right?¡± Jiang He¡¯s expression was extremely strange, clearly not believing Mo Xiao¡¯s exnation. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to exin it either. Anyway, you just have to know that I¡¯m very powerful.¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao said directly, not bothering to exin further. ¡°Alright, since you¡¯re the one helping me level up this time, I won¡¯t ask any questions,¡± Jiang He responded understandingly. [You have killed an Elite ck Ant Soldier and gained 1000 experience points.] ¡°But I have to say, the experience from elite monsters is really great. I hope we encounter more of them.¡± Mo Xiao said, holding his staff and walking into the cave after collecting all the drops from the ck ant soldier. [You have entered the ck Ant Nest. The unusual aura emanating from you has angered the ck Ants. The ck Ants will actively attack you. Please be careful.] This initiative to attack seems a little ruthless¡­ The system prompt just appeared, and a faint sound rang in their ears. They saw around 20 or 30 ck ants had already appeared around them. However, judging from the appearance of the ants, these should be ordinary ck ants, with some worker ants mixed in. ¡°No elite monsters. Mo Xiao, you take care of the front, and I¡¯ll handle the ones in the back for now! Let¡¯s kill them all!¡± Jiang He excitedly said, holding the Bow of Stars. Watching Jiang He¡¯s excited expression, Mo Xiao once again raised his staff and said calmly, ¡°No need, I can handle it alone.¡± ¡°Sea of Fire!¡± In an instant, the staff in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand emitted a sh of red light. The next moment, a sea of fire surged up from under the feet of the ants, and instantly, all the ants were set aze. -300 -300 -300 ¡­ Countless crimson numbers kept popping up above their heads. In the mes, they didn¡¯t even have a chance to move and directly turned into charred remains. ¡°Are you¡­ really a novice? Your skills are a bit too monstrous,¡± Jiang He said in disbelief. Chapter 29 ck Ant Suit Blueprint [You killed a ck ant and gained 300 experience points.] [You killed a ck ant and gained 300 experience points.] ¡­ Another series of system messages shed on the screen. Most of them were about killing ck ants. There were also some about killing ck worker ants. Soon, under Mo Xiao¡¯s sea of fire, all the ck ants and ck worker ants around them turned into charcoal. ¡°The experience in this instance dungeon is good, but the drops are a bitcking. It seems to be a map designed specifically for leveling up,¡± Mo Xiao remarked. Looking at the useless loot that had filled up an entire backpack, Mo Xiao felt helpless. ¡°What kind of loot is it? Didn¡¯t you just kill an elite monster? Didn¡¯t it drop anything good?¡± Jiang He asked curiously. ¡°No.¡± Mo Xiao shook his head and directly showed his backpack inventory to Jiang He. Inside, there were only ck ant shells and other items like ck ant mandibles, which could only be used to craft equipment. ¡°¡­¡± Seeing these things, Jiang He remained silent for a while and then said, ¡°Well, at least these things can be sold for money. Plus, with so much experience, it¡¯s not too bad.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go. This ce can only be considered the beginning of the instance dungeon.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The ck ant nest was not just an ordinary underground chamber, but more like an endless tunnel of profound depth. Moreover, the tunnel had various forks along the way. The most ridiculous thing was that there were forks everywhere. What was even more absurd was that these forked tunnels went in all directions¡ªup, down, left, and right¡ªand ants would asionally emerge from them. If it weren¡¯t for the presence of the skeleton lord and his group of skeleton soldiers, the two of them would have been ambushed countless times. As they continued forward, they soon reached another open space. In the center of this space, a gigantic ant,rger than any other ants they had encountered before,y motionless on the ground, sound asleep. Surrounding this ant were various skeletal remains, seemingly the remnants left behind after it had feasted. ¡°This size¡­ seems like a boss¡­¡± Jiang He instinctively took a step back upon seeing the scene. Seeing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows. ¡°Whether it¡¯s a boss or not, we¡¯ll find out soon enough. Besides, it¡¯s just an ant boss. There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of.¡± [ck Worker Ant Leader, Boss] Level: LV15 HP: 6,000/6,000 Strength: 500 Agility: 20 Spirit: 50 Endurance: 200 Physique: 600 Worker Ant¡¯s Strength: Passive skill that can break through defenses 10 times stronger than its own strength. Burrow: Can freely create holes in the ground, disappear, and then suddenly reappear for a surprise attack. Elemental Carapace: Ignores all elemental attacks! Brute Force Attack: All attacks will deal three times the amount of strength. Devouring Bite: mps down on the opponent with its massive mandibles, with a certain chance to directly sever the opponent and instantly kill them. ¡°It¡¯s really a boss. It actually has five skills.¡± Mo Xiao frowned. ¡°What should we do then? Should we go around it? It¡¯s sleeping now, so it probably won¡¯t notice us,¡± Jiang He suggested cautiously. Mo Xiao shook his head slightly in response, ¡°We can¡¯t go around. Ants have much stronger perception than humans. We have to take it down.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao quietly approached the leader of the ck worker ants. Seeing this, Jiang He was startled and hurriedly whispered, ¡°What are you doing? Come back quickly!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not attacking. It shouldn¡¯t wake up,¡± Mo Xiao reassured. With that, Mo Xiao had already reached the front of the ck worker ant, gently touching its ck and shiny carapace with his right hand. [You touched the ck Worker Ant Leader, and the skill Worker Ant¡¯s Strength has been copied!] ¡°Yay!¡± Seeing this message, Mo Xiao¡¯s heart was filled with joy. This was a skill that could ignore ten times his strength and defense. Now, his strength value was as high as 128 points. Coupled with some equipment, it was more than 200 points. Coupled with this skill, in other words, as long as the other party¡¯s defense was not abnormally high to 2,000 to 3,000 points, he could directly break through it! ¡°Mo Xiao?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao touch the ck Worker Ant leader and stop moving, Jiang He also looked at Mo Xiao worriedly. Mo Xiao smiled faintly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave it to me.¡± In the next moment, Mo Xiao put away his necromancer staff and the lord¡¯s sword appeared in his hand once again. The lord¡¯s sword once again appeared in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°Dragon Wings! ¡°Power Halo! ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Full-strength attack! ¡°Die!¡± Without hesitation, Mo Xiao swung his sword fiercely at the carapace of the ck worker ant leader. -10,720! Another jaw-dropping number appeared above the head of the ck worker ant leader. A piercing scream erupted from the mouth of the ck worker ant leader, followed by a tremor throughout its body. It copsed to the ground, motionless. [You have killed the boss of the ck Worker Ants and gained 3,000 experience points.] ¡°This¡­ it¡¯s dead??¡± Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao in disbelief, his face filled with astonishment. ¡°Why is your physical output so high too?¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He, shrugged his shoulders, and said, ¡°It¡¯s hard to exin. Just know that I¡¯m awesome.¡± Saying that, Mo Xiao directly picked up the loot dropped by the ck worker ant leader. [Gained one boss treasure chest] [Gained Leader¡¯s Carapace *5] [Gained Leader¡¯s Mandibles *2] [Gained ck Ant Suit Blueprint *1] ¡°ck Ant Suit?¡± Looking at the blueprint in his hand, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows. This thing seemed to be quite good. Chapter 30 ck Ant Suit Blueprint ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did you get anything good?¡± Jiang He curiously asked as he saw Mo Xiao bowing his head to examine the dropped items. Mo Xiao pondered for a moment upon hearing the question, then directly took out the boss chest and carefully rubbed it. [You rubbed the Boss Treasure Chest. The Boss Treasure Chest has been upgraded to an Elite Boss Treasure Chest.] ¡°I obtained a set of blueprints and some materials. I¡¯ll take the blueprints and materials, and you can have the rest.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he handed the treasure chest to Jiang He. ¡°An elite boss chest?!¡± Jiang He¡¯s eyes widened as he saw the chest in his hand. ¡°No, I can¡¯t take this. Boss chests often drop skill books and equipment! You¡¯re a casual yer, and you need it more than I do!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, you take it. I don¡¯t need this chest at all with my currentbat power,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°Besides, your uncle gave me a skill book for forging, so consider this aspensation.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°Stop wasting time. Let¡¯s go, we need to speed up. I want to run the dungeon a few more times today.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Although Jiang He wanted to refuse again, she eventually nodded, no longer saying anything, and put away the chest. She followed behind Mo Xiao, heading towards the depths of the cave. ¡­ Meanwhile, in the instance dungeon hall, a group of people gathered in front of the ck ant instance, observing the reddish-ck ant nest and discussing what might happen inside. ¡°They¡¯ve been inside for half an hour! Could they have already died there?!¡± ¡°Nonsense! If they died in the instance dungeon, it wouldn¡¯t have this color, and there would be a prompt!¡± ¡°The record for this instance dungeon is 52 minutes. Do you think they could clear the dungeon in just 52 minutes?¡± ¡°What are you talking about! The record for this dungeon was set by a level 15 10-yer team! They are only two people, and one is level 10 while the other is only level 6. Forget about breaking the record; it¡¯s already impressive if they can clear the dungeon!¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s true¡­ I wonder if there will be any extra rewards for clearing it at a lower level.¡± ¡­ At this time, Jiang Shan also returned to the main hall of the dungeon and saw a group of neers gathered in front of the dungeon gate, chattering away. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why aren¡¯t you leveling in the dungeon? What are you doing here?¡± Jiang Shan looked at them with some confusion, furrowing his brows and asking. ¡°Third Master, someone entered the purgatory-level ck ant nest,¡± one of the neers quickly said upon seeing him. Jiang Shan didn¡¯t pay much attention to it and replied, ¡°Isn¡¯t that normal? This is the instance dungeon hall, and it¡¯s not just you guys who run dungeons. Although there are fewer people going to purgatory-level dungeons, there are still a few. After all, the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity.¡± ¡°But the person who entered the purgatory-level instance dungeon is a neer like us!¡± Hearing this, Jiang Shanughed and waved his hand dismissively. ¡°Haha, impossible! What kind of joke are you¡­¡± Before Jiang Shan could finish his sentence, he suddenly turned his head abruptly. ¡°Wait! What did you say?! A neer entered the purgatory-level dungeon?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s Mo Xiao and Jiang He!¡± Jiang Shan looked anxiously at the person. The neer couldn¡¯t help but gulp and nodded, ¡°Y-yes!¡± ¡°Damn it! That brat! What the hell is he up to?¡± Jiang Shan was so enraged that he almost pped the person in front of him to death.. ¡°Oh no, I¡¯m done for! If anything happens to Jiang He in the dungeon, my sister-inw will kill me!¡± Jiang Shan sat on the ground, holding his head, on the verge of crying out in despair. The group of neers looked at Jiang Shan, sweating profusely and sitting on the ground, with bewildered expressions. They had no idea what was happening. ¡°Um¡­ Third Hall Master? What¡¯s wrong with you? Did something happen?¡± ¡°What¡¯s it to you? Disperse and go run your dungeons!¡± Jiang Shan shouted angrily. Everyone quickly dispersed, not daring to say another word. ¡°What should I do? How could I entrust Jiang He to such an idiot!¡± Jiang Shan was on the verge of tears,pletely at a loss for what to do. After all, dungeons werepletely independent spaces, and different people entering would enter different instances. Outsiders couldn¡¯t help unless they directly disbanded the map, forcibly ejecting the people inside. However, this type of movable instance dungeon was extremely rare, and it was impossible to disband the entire instance dungeon just for one or two people. As Jiang Shan was agonizing over what to do, a familiar voice made him jump up from the ground in fear. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Jiang Shan? As a deputy mayor and a master of our instance dungeon hall, can¡¯t you maintain someposure?¡± A majestic female voice resounded behind Jiang Shan. Hearing this voice, Jiang Shan trembled and turned around with a fawning expression, ¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯re here!¡± ¡°It¡¯s working hours now, call me the Deputy Hall Master.¡± The Deputy Hall Master said calmly, ¡°Tell me, what happened? Why are you so flustered?¡± Jiang Shan shivered at these words, his expression even more obsequious. ¡°Deputy Hall Master, I hope you won¡¯t get angry if I tell you. Please don¡¯ty hands on me, haha~¡± The Deputy Hall Master¡¯s eyebrows furrowed instantly upon hearing this. ¡°You tell me first, and then I¡¯ll decide whether to deal with you or not.¡± ¡°Well¡­ maybe I shouldn¡¯t say it after all¡­¡± Jiang Shan scratched his head awkwardly and closed his mouth. Seeing Jiang Shan¡¯s appearance, the Deputy Hall Master seemed to have a realization, and her expression suddenly changed. ¡°Is something wrong with Jiang He?¡± ¡°No, if something happened, there should be a system prompt for me¡­¡± As he spoke, the Deputy Hall Master lifted Jiang Shan¡¯s cor. ¡°Hurry up and say it! Otherwise, I can beat you up now!¡± Seeing this, Jiang Shan sighed helplessly and said, ¡°Alright, actually, it¡¯s not a particrly bad thing. It¡¯s just¡­¡± As he spoke, Jiang Shan pointed at the entrance of the pocket dimension not far away. When the Deputy Hall Master saw this, she subconsciously turned her head to look and immediately noticed the dungeon gate emanating the exclusive radiance of a purgatory-level dungeon. ¡°Purgatory-level ck ant nest¡­¡± The Deputy Hall Master¡¯s pupils constricted when she saw this. ¡°Are you crazy?! Letting Jiang He enter a dungeon of this level! She¡¯s only level 6!!!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not me, it¡¯s not me!! How could I let her take such a huge risk to enter a dungeon of this level?!¡± Seeing this, Jiang Shan hurriedly squatted down and covered his head. His movements were very skilled. Clearly, this kind of thing happened often. ¡°What¡¯s that? Hurry up and say it!¡± The Deputy Hall Master suppressed the anger in her heart and scolded. Jiang Shan scratched his head and said, ¡°Among the neers this year, there¡¯s a genius who reached Level 10 on the first day.¡± ¡°Level 10 on the first day¡­ is that Mo Xiao?¡± The Deputy Hall Master thought for a moment and immediately mentioned Mo Xiao¡¯s name. Jiang Shan nodded and continued, ¡°He has a good rtionship with Jiang He, so I asked him to bring Jiang He along¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± When the Deputy Hall Master heard this, she fell silent and her expression darkened. ¡°In other words¡­ that kid brought Jiang He into the purgatory-level instance dungeon?¡± ¡°If they¡¯re really in a team, that¡¯s right.¡± When the Deputy Hall Master heard this, she took a few deep breaths and said coldly, ¡°No one in the Mo Family is easy to deal with! His father, his mother, and himself!¡± With that, the Deputy Hall Master kicked Jiang Shan hard, saying, ¡°Meddling in matters that don¡¯t concern you!¡± Then she walked directly towards the dungeon gate withrge strides. ¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯re not going to disband the dungeon, are you?¡± Jiang Shan asked cautiously. The Deputy Hall Master gave Jiang Shan a disdainful nce and said, ¡°No, I just want to see their situation.¡± As she spoke, the Deputy Hall Master took out something unknown and tapped it on the dungeon gate, instantly projecting a screen of light from above the gate. Immediately, two figures appeared on the light screen. One was a man in a ck robe, holding a staff, gently pointing forward. A pitch-ck me instantly burst into mes on the ants not far away. ¡®-9,000!¡¯ As a terrifying number appeared, everyone present was dumbfounded. Chapter 31 Thorny Ant Lord ¡°Oh my god?! 9,000 damage!! Is it for real?!¡± ¡°This video must be edited! I don¡¯t believe it!¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah! It¡¯s totally fake! Yesterday, he could only deal 6,000 damage! How is it possible to increase it by 3,000 overnight?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! I¡¯ve been practicing for a whole day and can¡¯t even do 60 points of damage! How could he increase it by 3,000 points in a day?¡± ¡°Hey, do you think there¡¯s a possibility that Mo Xiao, the expert, felt that the elite monster from yesterday was too weak and didn¡¯t use his full strength?¡± ¡°Damn, if that¡¯s what he really thought, Mo Xiao is a freak! Who has such terrifying skills as a solo yer! He must be cheating! It¡¯s unfair! I¡¯m going to report him!¡± ¡­ Listening to the shouts of the surrounding students, Jiang Shan, with a stern face, said, ¡°Shut up, all of you! ¡°Just because you can¡¯t do it doesn¡¯t mean others can¡¯t! Shut your mouths and watch carefully! See how othersplete the instance! If you don¡¯t want to watch, go level up! If you keep bbering, I¡¯ll revoke your qualification to enter the instance! ¡°Furthermore, if there really is someone in our human race who can cheat, that would be a true blessing for us humans¡­¡± Seeing Jiang Shan¡¯s displeased expression, everyone closed their mouths one after another, afraid to continue their nonsense, and cautiously watched the screen at the entrance of the instance. Meanwhile, inside the ck ant nest instance¡­ [You have killed an elite ck ant soldier and gained 1,000 experience points.] [You have killed an elite ck ant soldier and gained 1,000 experience points.] Mo Xiao looked at the consecutive system messages shing before his eyes and slowly lowered his staff. ¡°Be careful, there are many elite-level ck soldier ants here. Don¡¯t get ambushed,¡± he warned. Jiang He looked at his upgraded character panel once again and nodded with joy. ¡°Yeah, I know!¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and said calmly, ¡°Since the number of elite monsters suddenly increased in this area, we must have reached some special ce. Pay attention.¡± ¡°Okay, but with you here, I don¡¯t have to be so cautious, right?¡± Jiang He said cheerfully. Mo Xiao: ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Shan: ¡°¡­¡± Second Hall Master: ¡°¡­¡± With just that one sentence from Jiang He, all three of them fell silent instantly. Just as Jiang He was feeling happy, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Jiang He¡¯s arm and pulled him behind himself. ¡°Skeleton Lord!¡± In the next moment, the skeleton lord appeared in front of the two of them almost instantly, holding a huge skeleton battle shield in front of it. [-3,999!] ¡°Crack!¡± They heard a piercing sound of shattering, and a ring white text shed across the shield in the skeleton lord¡¯s hand. Immediately, the skeleton shield turned into a pile of broken bones and scattered on the ground. ¡°What a powerful attack!¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression instantly turned serious as he witnessed the scene. Soon, ck ants of the same size as elite ck soldier ants appeared in front of the two individuals and the skeleton. Although they were small in size, these ck ants were covered in strange spikes. Clearly, it was this creature thatunched the previous attack. [Thorny Ant Lord¡¤Lord-level boss] Level: LV 20 HP: 3,000/3,000 Strength: 1,000 Agility: 100 Spirit: 120 Endurance: 50 Physique: 300 Lord¡¯s Summons: Summons five Thorny Ants to assist you. Spike Charge: Shoots out the spikes from its body, inflicting terrifying damage! Thorns: When you attack it, 25% of the damage will be reflected back at you. Elemental Affinity: The spikes of the Thorny Ant Lord can possess various elemental attributes, causing powerful elemental damage! Magic Resistance: Magic attacks deal 50% reduced damage. ¡°Another Lord-level boss¡­¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression became serious as he looked at the thorny ant lord in front of him. Although a lord-tier boss is weaker than a bronze-tier boss, thest time, I only won by relying on the Dragon God¡¯s Descent. Now the Magic Source Ring is still on cooldown, so I can¡¯t use that bug-level ultimate move. From the interface, this thorny ant leader was just a high-attack weakling. But that thorny skill made Mo Xiao a little hesitant. Magic resistance was one thing. As long as his spell intensity was high enough, it was possible to defeat it with a single blow. However, what Mo Xiao didn¡¯t know was whether this Thorn skill only reflected physical attacks or if it also reflected magical attacks. Despite having a formidable and astonishing attack power, easily able to one-shot this 3,000 HP mini-boss, he himself had less than 2,000 HP. If he triggered the power of a thousand catties, dealing ten times the damage, the thorny ant lord would be defeated, but Mo Xiao would also perish along with it! ¡°What¡¯s wrong? This guy just has a slightly higher attack power, right? With your output, you should be able to easily take it down.¡± Jiang He said calmly. Mo Xiao didn¡¯t say anything, but slowly put away his staff, lightning shing in his palm. In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck directly on the head of the thorny ant lord. -89.5 A yellow number appeared faintly above the thorny ant lord¡¯s head. Outside the instance dungeon. The onlookers, who were wondering why Mo Xiao was hesitating, fell into silence for a moment. Then, bursts of raucousughter erupted as they saw the damage number. ¡°Hahaha!!! I thought he would deal massive damage! Turns out it¡¯s only eighty-nine points! How ridiculous!¡± ¡°I thought that kind of damage was Mo Xiao¡¯s normal state! So it was just a burst! Maybe he used items given by Jiang He to achieve it!¡± ¡°This is hrious! After all the talk, he couldn¡¯t even break a hundred damage! Thought he was so powerful!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know how you have the audacity tough here. It¡¯s just eighty-nine points of damage! Who among us can deal such high damage? What right do you have to mock Brother Xiao!¡± The Deputy Master chuckled while watching Mo Xiao¡¯s actions. ¡°We should add a course on basic skills at the school in the future. ¡°This kid, not even knowing that thorns only reflect physical damage, and he¡¯s using the lowest-level magic to test them.¡± Jiang Shan quickly said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll report this matter to the Mayorter. ¡°But this kid is smart and vignt. He might be a promising talent.¡± At this moment, Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao with astonishment. ¡°Mo Xiao? What¡¯s wrong? Howe your damage is so low?¡± Mo Xiao ignored Jiang He and quietly nced at his own health bar. ¡°It seems that magical attacks are not reflected.¡± ¡°Squeak!!!¡± Just then, the thorny ant lord seemed to grow furious and let out a loud roar. In the next moment, its body emitted a chilling red light. In an instant, countless sharp spikes radiating red light shot out from the thorny ant lord¡¯s body like a scatter shot, heading straight for the two of them. Chapter 32 Shocking Instant Death Effect ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡± As several sounds of breaking through the air rang out, Countless extremely fast spikes crossed half the distance in an instant, heading straight for Mo Xiao and Jiang He, Mo Xiao quickly reacted upon seeing this. The staff in his hand hit the floor again. In an instant, another skeleton lord emerged from the ground. Apanying him were 20 or 30 skeleton soldiers. ¡°Advanced Resistance Fire Ring!¡± At the same time, Mo Xiao forcefully raised his palm towards the front of Jiang He. Before Jiang He could react, a tremendous force directly propelled her into Mo Xiao¡¯s embrace. Then, Mo Xiao swiftly turned around,pletely shielding Jiang He within his embrace. In just a few breaths, dozens of spikes instantly struck Mo Xiao¡¯s back. ¡°Ah!!!¡± ¡°Mo Xiao?!¡± Witnessing this scene, numerous people outside the instance widened their eyes, Even Jiang Shan couldn¡¯t help but exim in astonishment, And even the Deputy Master took two steps forward involuntarily. ¡°Huh? This kid seems to be fine?¡± At this moment, shes of white light appeared on Mo Xiao¡¯s body, Then, the heads of the skeleton soldiers nearby shattered into bone fragments, scattering on the ground. [Skeleton Soldier killed by the Thorny Ant Overlord!] [Skeleton Soldier killed by the Thorny Ant Overlord!] [Skeleton Soldier killed by the Thorny Ant Overlord!] ¡­ [Skeleton Lord killed by Thorny Ant Lord!] [You brushed against the goddess Jiang He, and the Skill Precision has been replicated!] [The soft touch makes your heart race, refining into the Elf Eye with precision!] [Elf Eye: Passive Skill. With the Elf Eye, you can easily glimpse the weaknesses of enemies. Hitting the weak points guarantees a critical hit!] As Mo Xiao listened to the system prompts, his face turned red. He quickly released Jiang He, not waiting for her to speak, and grabbed the staff in his hand. ¡°Die! Soul-Devouring ck mes!¡± In an instant, a ck me erupted directly on the thorny ant. [Instant death effect triggered!] -9,999,999,999!!! A string of gray numbers filled with nines shed across the head of the thorny ants. In an instant, the thorny ants turned into ashes, leaving behind only scattered drops on the ground. ¡­ Silence. Both inside and outside the instance, everyone fell silent. That string of numbers was just too terrifying. Even Jiang Shan had never seen such horrifying damage before. The Deputy Master stared fixedly at Mo Xiao on the screen, took a deep breath, and looked at Jiang Shan beside him. ¡°Jiang Shan¡­ Did you see clearly? What was that just now?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­ All I know is that it was at least an eight-digit number.¡± Jiang Shan said dazedly, ¡°Even if I went all out to kill a Level 1 monster, I couldn¡¯t deal that kind of damage¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you that. Did you see the color of the number just now?¡± The Deputy Master shook his head and asked again. ¡°It seems to be¡­ gray?¡± Upon hearing the Deputy Master¡¯s question, Jiang Shan thought for a moment and replied. ¡°It¡¯s indeed gray. Who is this Mo Xiao? This is an instant death effect! In the entire human race, only that person has such a skill!¡± The Deputy Master said excitedly. Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan¡¯s pupils also trembled slightly. ¡°He is Mo Xiao from the Mo family, and he is just a solo yer.¡± ¡°Solo yer¡­ solo yer¡­ Indeed, it fits. Other professions can¡¯t learn this kind of skill.¡± The Deputy Hall Master¡¯s eyes gleamed, ¡°You¡¯ve done a good thing this time. You stay here and watch. I¡¯ll take a step ahead. The college entrance exam in two months seems to be quite interesting!¡± Meanwhile, inside the instance dungeon. Jiang He quickly turned around and looked at Mo Xiao worriedly. Although the situation just now was sudden, it made Jiang He a bit flustered and her face turned red. But she understood what had happened; it was evident that Mo Xiao was protecting her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it was an emergency, and I had to do it this way,¡± Mo Xiao calmly took a step back and said. Jiang He opened her mouth, and only then did she notice that Mo Xiao seemedpletely unharmed. ¡°Are you¡­ alright?¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Mo Xiao nodded and said, ¡°My skeleton lord has a skill called Life Sharing. As long as it and its skeleton soldiers are not dead, I won¡¯t die. ¡°Which means, unless someone can deal tens of thousands of damage in one go, I am absolutely unkible,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°Oh, I got scared earlier. I thought you were going to die,¡± Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s exnation. Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s exnation, Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief. As he spoke, Mo Xiao slowly walked to the spot where the thorny ants had died and picked up the dropped items. [You obtained Multi-Spike Arrows *50 (Multi-Spike Arrows: With fixed impact, doubled flight speed and damage! It also has the ability to prate, passing through up to three targets.))] [You have obtained 10 spikes.] [You have obtained a Lord Boss Treasure Chest*1] [You have obtained Multi-Spike Longbow (Purple)*1] [You have obtained a skill book, Thorns (Purple)*1] ¡°!¡± Looking at the item in front of him, Mo Xiao was also shocked. From the looks of it, the treasure chest was definitely dropped by the Boss. However, the same Boss not only dropped equipment, but also a skill book! These were all extremely rare items! While Mo Xiao was shocked, Jiang He suddenly said, ¡°You killed this boss, and you protected me. You can keep all the items. Our Jiang family won¡¯t be short of these things.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He, pondered for a moment, and without being overly polite, said directly, ¡°Thanks. If you have anything you want to forge in the future, you cane to me.¡± Jiang He smiled slightly, ¡°Sure, then I won¡¯t hold back when that timees.¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Mo Xiao nodded, directly storing the series of dropped items in his backpack. As for leveling up, Mo Xiao nned to wait until they were out of the instance before doing so, to avoid arousing Jiang He¡¯s suspicion. In case Jiang He noticed anything amiss. After killing this lord, most of the creatures that appeared on the way were thorny ants. Fifteen minutester. [Congrattions! You sessfully killed the ck Ant King and obtained 5,000 experience points!] [Congrattions! ck Ant Nest, the secondary quest of the instance, has beenpleted! Killing the Ant Queen willpletely end the instance!] ¡°Only the ant queen is left.¡± Mo Xiao casually put away the ant king¡¯s loot and looked at the passage in front of him that led to the queen ant¡¯s location. He said softly, ¡°Do you need to rest?¡± Jiang He shook her head. ¡°No need. Let¡¯s set off directly. I feel like we haven¡¯t fought for long. We might even be able to break the dungeon record!¡± ¡°En, okay.¡± Mo Xiao nodded, ¡°Then we¡­¡± At this time, Mo Xiao¡¯s words suddenly stopped. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang He asked curiously. Mo Xiao did not say anything. He slowly walked to a wall and gently touched it. Suddenly, a system prompt sounded. [Hidden space discovered. Do you want to teleport in?] Chapter 33 Beep, Active Skills Cannot Be Used Here [Hidden space discovered. Do you want to teleport in?] As a system prompt panel appeared, Mo Xiao and Jiang He were both stunned. However, just as they were bewildered, outside the instance dungeon, the light screen above the door suddenly froze. As if struck by something, it shattered in an instant like a mirror. ¡°Huh? The Detection Mirror shattered? That¡¯s impossible!The instance hasn¡¯t ended yet, has it?¡± Jiang Shan frowned directly as he looked at the suddenly broken barrier, and he pressed on a fragment with his hand. [This item has been shattered by an unknown force. Please rece it.] ¡°What exactly happened¡­¡± Meanwhile, inside the instance dungeon. ¡°Hidden space? Mo Xiao¡­ what is this?¡± Jiang He looked at the system prompt in front of her, feeling a bit confused. ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± Mo Xiao shook his head and said directly, ¡°Let¡¯s just go and take a look.¡± When Jiang He heard this, she said worriedly, ¡°Will it be dangerous? Why don¡¯t we forget about it?¡± When Mo Xiao heard this, he nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°Then wait for me here. I¡¯ll go in and take a look.¡± ¡°Ah? Don¡¯t¡­¡± Without waiting for Jiang He to object, Mo Xiao directly clicked ¡°confirm¡± and instantly turned into a white light and disappeared. Watching Mo Xiao vanish, Jiang He gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to click ¡°confirm¡± and follow after Mo Xiao, she suddenly noticed that the text on the panel in front of her had changed. [You have used up all your teleportation attempts. Unable to continue teleportation.] ¡°What?! I can¡¯t teleport anymore?¡± Seeing this message, Jiang He¡¯s already unpleasant expression became even more grim. But now there¡¯s no other way, she could only wait here for the time being. [You have arrived at a special map, the Mysterious Path.] ¡°Mysterious Path?¡± Listening to the system¡¯s prompt, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows. This was a tunnel even narrower than the ck ant nest. Although it was a tunnel, unlike the ck ant nest, this tunnel was very bright. Behind him was a stone wall with nothing special about it. Mo Xiao reached out to touch it slightly, but there was no triggering of the previous prompt. Apparently, there was no way out here anymore. If they wanted to leave, they had to continue moving forward. ¡°It seems Jiang He didn¡¯t follow. Well, that¡¯s fine too. I don¡¯t have to worry about protecting her now.¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself and summoned the skeleton lord again. [Beep, summoning spells cannot be activated in this map!] ¡°Huh? There are skill restrictions too?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s brows furrowed even tighter upon hearing this prompt. Explosive fireball! [Beep, offensive magic cannot be used in this map!] ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I can¡¯t use offensive magic either?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression became incredibly grim at this moment. Other than the advanced resistance fire ring, the only magic Mo Xiao knew was offensive magic. Moreover, his strongest attack method was magic. Now that he was not allowed to use magic¡­ That would result in a significant decrease in theirbat power. ¡°Advanced Resistance Fire Ring!¡± [Beep, control-type magic cannot be used in this map.] ¡°Ugh! Just say that no magic can be used at all! Why bother with these distinctions!¡± Upon seeing the system¡¯s prompt, Mo Xiao vented his frustration directly. As if in response to Mo Xiao¡¯sint, the system prompt sounded once again. [No active skills can be used in this map. Please be cautious, yers.] ¡°You can¡¯t use any active skills? Isn¡¯t this a little too harsh¡­¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression changed. He put away the Death Spirit Staff and opened the attribute panel. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV12 (1,578/130,000) ss: Solo yer Strength: 138 (+110) Agility: 97 (+150) Spirit: 79 (+110) Endurance: 75 (+100) Physique: 75 (+100) Points to be allocated: 20 Skills: Equipment Mastery, Skill Control, Thunderbolt, Between the Hurricanes, Full Force Strike, Brutal Power, Force of a Thousand Jins, Soul Harvest, Soul Annihtion, Dragon God¡¯s Descent, Explosive Fireball, Block, Advanced Resistance Fire Ring, Sea of mes, Summon Skeleton Lord, Strength Aura, Dragon Wings, Elf Eye Talents: I Just Rub, Advanced Reaction Enhancement, Lightning Speed, Thick-skinned, Heart of the Death God, Fire God Power, Magic Power Source, Dragon Language, Twin Star Power Looking at his panel, Mo Xiao directly allocated all his attribute points into Strength once again. ¡°I can¡¯t use active skills here, so I can only rely on physical weapons for output. I gave the Bow of Stars to Jiang He, so now I can only use the Lord¡¯s Longsword¡­¡± Mo Xiao sat down on the ground, muttering to himself. ¡°I still can¡¯t use the Dragon God Steel Sword. It seems I¡¯ll have to use the Thorny Longbow for now.¡± Saying that, Mo Xiao took out the Thorny Longbow from before. [You rubbed the Thorny Longbow, and it evolved into the Flying Spike Longbow!] [You rubbed the Flying Spike Longbow, and it evolved into the Flying General Longbow!] [Flying General Longbow] Quality: Orange +2 Attack Power: 500 Critical Strike: 10% Pration: +2 Durability: 30,000/30,000 Splitting: Each time you shoot an arrow, it splits into four small arrows to assist in the attack. The split arrows will deal 50% of the damage of the main arrow and have tracking capability. Thorny: The inherent power of the Longbow¡¯s material allows your shots to be made without using arrows. Power of the Flying General: The Flying General¡¯s Bow is said to be the bow used by the mighty general Lu Bu. When equipped, you will gain unrivaled strength! Your attacks cannot be defended against, and they will deal twice the damage of your strength value! Chapter 34 Beep, Active Skills Cannot Be Used Here (2) Thirst for Blood: Your attacks will gain a 25% lifesteal effect. Bloodthirsty Restoration: 1% of your attacks will be used to repair this bow. Embryo: This item is upgradable. Equipment Level: 20 ¡°What a powerful bow! Not only does it increase my attack power by 500, but it also has this terrifying skill. It seems like my physical attack power can be significantly enhanced!¡± Mo Xiao excitedly clenched his fist as he looked at the Flying General Longbow in his hand and quickly equipped it. Fortunately, there was no one around at the moment. If Jiang He were still here, Mo Xiao wouldn¡¯t dare reveal his true nature. ¡°But what is this orange +2 tier? Shouldn¡¯t it be red above orange?¡± Mo Xiao looked at this special quality with some confusion. [To upgrade an Orange-tier weapon to Red, it requires five sessful enhancements. Only then can it be upgraded to a Red equipment.] ¡°Hm? Orange weapons can be upgraded to red weapons?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. [Third-level cksmiths can spend arge amount of materials to improve the quality of Orange equipment. As for Red equipment, besides upgrading, they can only be obtained from special treasure chests, and they are extremely rare.] ¡°Oh¡­ I see.¡± Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this: ¡°Well, I don¡¯t care about that for now. Let¡¯s check the skills first.¡± [You rubbed the skill book, Thorns, and it evolved into an anti-armor!] [You rubbed the reflective armor of the skill book, and the reflective armor evolved into the ck Tortoise Armor.] [ck Tortoise Armor: Red skill. When an enemy inflicts damage on you, 50% of the damage will be reflected back, and the target of the reflection will experience water and earth control effects of an equivalent level. If an enemy¡¯s attack could instantly kill you, you will be forced to remain at 1 HP for five seconds. Cooldown: 48 hours. If your weapon perfectly blocks the enemy¡¯s attack, the attack will bepletely reflected back and cause 300%posite damage of earth and water attributes!] ¡°ck Tortoise Armor¡­ Looks like I¡¯ve obtained a life-saving divine skill! I¡¯m invincible!¡± Mo Xiao grinned happily and took out thest item from his backpack. ¡°A Lord-tier Boss Treasure Chest. I hope you give me something awesome!¡± [You rubbed against the Lord-tier Boss Treasure Chest. The Lord-tier Boss Treasure Chest has been upgraded to a Bronze-tier Boss Treasure Chest!] [The treasure chest cannot be further sublimated.] Just as Mo Xiao was trying to skim it again, the system¡¯s prompt disappointed him with a sigh. ¡°Alright, if it¡¯s Bronze-level, then let it be Bronze-level. I hope it contains some practical items.¡± [You opened the Bronze-level boss treasure chest. Congrattions, you obtained a Talent Upgrade Card.] [Talent Upgrade Card: Randomly upgrades the talents on your body, limited to S-rank and below.] ¡°Talents can be upgraded too?! ¡°Let¡¯s continue!¡± [You rubbed the Talent Upgrade Card, and the Talent Upgrade Card sublimated into a Talent Level-Up Card.] [Talent Level-Up Card: Randomly upgrades the talents on your body by two levels, maximum upgrade to SSS-rank.] ¡°Two consecutive levels, but it can only be upgraded to SSS-rank. I wonder if there are higher ranks beyond SSS.¡± Mo Xiao murmured, without hesitation, he directly used the Talent Level-Up Card. [You used the Talent Level-Up Card. Congrattions, your Advanced Reaction talent has been strengthened and upgraded to S-rank talent ¨C Godly Reaction.] [Godly Reaction: Your reaction in battle will reach its peak, and you will haveplete control over every detail.] ¡°That looks promising, a direct enhancement to my strength? The specifics will have to be discovered during battle. Let¡¯s go.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he held the lord¡¯s sword in his left hand and the flying bow in his right as he strode along the tunnel. Unlike the ck Ant Tunnel, this passageway had no forks or hollow spaces. It was just a simple passageway. It was impossible to tell what it was. After approximately 10 minutes of walking, the passage suddenly widened, and Mo Xiao quickly realized that he had entered a vast square. [You have arrived at the trial grounds ¡¤1. Pleaseplete the trial!] As the system prompt sounded, the entire square began to shake violently. Then, a giant monster wielding arge sword appeared directly in front of Mo Xiao. This monstrous creature wore heavy armor adorned with eerie red stripes, and its arms were covered in ayer of red crystals, giving off a terrifying aura. [Guardian 1] Level: ??? Attributes: ??? Introduction: It has guarded this ce for countless years, and no one has ever passed through its hands. Perhaps no one has evere here? Pay attention to the red crystals on its body, which seem to possess a horrifying power. ¡°Another creature that I can¡¯t see anything about?¡± Mo Xiao frowned slightly and instinctively prepared to unleash a full-power attack. But the system prompt appeared once again, indicating that active skills still couldn¡¯t be used in this ce. Mo Xiao took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the closed gate behind the guardian. It was clear that he would have to defeat him to proceed. [Trial begins!] Just as Mo Xiao was preparing to attack, a chilling system prompt suddenly sounded. The guardian¡¯s eyes instantly glowed with dangerous red light. ¡°Roar!!!¡± With a deafening roar, Mo Xiao suddenly took two steps back and drew his bow. In that instant, Mo Xiao noticed several green-glowing spots appearing on the guardian¡¯s body. ¡°What are those? Weak points? Well, let¡¯s try.¡± Without hesitation, Mo Xiao aimed at those spots and shot an arrow. The arrow flew forth, splitting into four smaller arrows that arced towards the guardian. -2608! -1304! -1304! -1304! -1304! With just this ordinary arrow without any additional skills, Mo Xiao directly depleted more than 7,000 of the guardian¡¯s health. It could be seen how terrifying the Flying General Longbow was. ¡°Roar!!!¡± After being struck by Mo Xiao¡¯s attack, the guardian seemed enraged. It once again roared into the sky. In the next moment, it swung itsrge sword with great force. An ominously crimson de light, visible to the naked eye, rushed straight towards Mo Xiao at an incredibly fast speed. Even the ground cracked open with a visible fissure caused by the de¡¯s swift movement. Seeing the rapidly approaching de light, Mo Xiao wanted to dodge, but the speed was beyond what his current agility could evade. Just as the de light was about to hit, Mo Xiao suddenly felt his senses be dozens of times sharper. In an instant, Mo Xiao swung his Lord¡¯s Longsword horizontally. ¡°Ding!¡± A clear sound of metal shing reverberated. And a terra-cotta-colored light instantly illuminated Mo Xiao. Faintly visible was a gigantic tortoise. Meanwhile, the previously red de light abruptly changed direction. Wrapped in a mix of terra-cotta and blue light, it rebounded with an even more terrifying speed than before, striking heavily at the guardian¡¯s chest. -6666 -6666 -6666 In an instant, white, yellow, and blue numbers of different colors emerged from the guardian¡¯s head. Clearly, they indicated ordinary, earth, and water attribute damage. The guardian let out a wretched scream and fell heavily to the ground. It struggled in pain and seemed to be unable to get up. At this moment, the green glow in Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes converged at his chest, forming a deep red dot. ¡°Hmm? Broke through its defense?¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately rushed forward, thrusting his sword into the guardian¡¯s chest. (ps: The Dual Star power allows the attributes and skills of both weapons to bebined, so the Lord¡¯s Longsword also had the attack power of the Flying General Longbow at this moment.) -13,040! As a massive red font appeared, the guardian let out a pitiful scream, pped a few times, and theny still. Before long, it dissipated into specks of stardust and disappeared. [You have in Guardian No. 1 and gained 10,000 experience points!] [You obtained Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest *1.] [You obtained Guardian¡¯s Saber *1] Chapter 35 Life Crystal ¡°The Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest? Is it something exclusive to this ce?¡± Mo Xiao nced at the treasure chest he had never seen before and curiously rubbed his chin. ¡°Who cares? Let¡¯s just rub it first.¡± [You rubbed the Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest, and it transcended into the Defender¡¯s Treasure Chest!] ¡°Guardian Treasure Chest¡­ Looks like there will be more guardians ahead¡­¡± [You have opened the guardian treasure chest and obtained the Vitality Stone.] [Vitality Stone: When used, it increases maximum health by 300 points.] ¡°Damn! 300 HP upper limit?!¡± Seeing this number, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes instantly widened. 300 HP was equivalent to 30 physique points! Mo Xiao licked his lips and grabbed the stone in his hand, vigorously rubbing it. [You rubbed the Vitality Stone, and it transcended into the Life Crystal!] [Life Crystal: Increases maximum health by 3,000 points after use!] ¡°!!!¡± Three thousand! Mo Xiao¡¯s current HP was not even close to 3,000! Without hesitation, Mo Xiao fiercely rubbed the crystal in his hand again. However, it was evident that this kind of thing could only transcend once. ¡°If it could transcend again, I could probably increase my maximum health by 30,000. What a pity, it can only transcend once. Let¡¯s use it directly.¡± [Life Crystal has been used. Current maximum health is 4,750.] ¡°Wow, my health is probably higher than most tanks now, isn¡¯t it?¡± Mo Xiao nodded in satisfaction and directly took out the guardian¡¯s saber. [Guardian¡¯s Saber] Quality: Blue Attack Power: 2,500 Strength: +70 Critical Strike: +5% Set Equipment: 1/5 Durability: 100,000/100,000 Raging de Qi: Swing the sword with all your might, releasing a crimson de qi to attack the enemy. Set Effect: 2-piece set, Strength +50 Required Level: Level 45 ¡°Damn¡­ Level 45 equipment? So, the monster I just killed was at least level 45? Am I really this awesome now?¡± Previously, he could only defeat these kinds of monsters by relying on the tenfold damage from the Power of a Thousand Catties. But just now, he didn¡¯t even trigger the Strength of a Thousand Catties, yet he managed to take down that thing with just the Flying General¡¯s Bow and the ck Tortoise Armor. It had to be said that the Flying General¡¯s Bow and ck Tortoise Armor were really powerful. Looking at the saber in his hand, Mo Xiao immediately put it away. After all, this was a level 45 equipment. It was not something he could use now. Instead of having tempting attributes that made him eager to try it out, it was better to store it away. Mo Xiao put away his saber and looked at the ce where he hade from. The previous passage had disappeared by now, directly blocked by a stone wall. It was evident that there was no turning back. The gate behind the guardian, which had been closed earlier, was now open. Mo Xiao¡¯s only option was to continue moving forward. After contemting for a moment, Mo Xiao walked directly into the next passage. [Congrattions on passing Trial 1. Would you like to enter the next Trial space?] As soon as Mo Xiao entered the passage, the system prompt sounded again. ¡°If I don¡¯t go in, I can¡¯t go back¡­¡± Mo Xiao sighed with some frustration and said, ¡°Enter!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everything blurred before his eyes, and he appeared in apletely new open space. Compared to the previous trial area, this open space was muchrger, not only in terms of area but also in height.. However, Mo Xiao did not see any monsters. ¡°Such arge ce¡­ I hope there won¡¯t be any flying monsters here.¡± [You have arrived at the trial ground 2. Pleaseplete the trial!] As the system prompt sounded, the entire trial area began to tremble violently. In the next moment, the sound of three heavy objectsnding could be heard. Three Guardian No. 1s descended from the sky at the same time and appeared in the empty space. Wearing the same armor and wielding the same saber, they were clearly identical to the monsters in the previous trial area. ¡°It seems to be the same type of monster, but having three of them at the same time might be challenging to deal with.¡± Mo Xiao squinted his eyes, looking at the three Guardians standing side by side, as he slowly drew his Flying General¡¯s Bow. ¡°Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!¡± In an instant, the sound of five arrows cutting through the air could be heard. Onerge and four small arrows flew towards the guardian at the edge. -26,080! -13,040! -13,040! -13,040! -13,040! Instantly, a series of damage that broke through 10,000 appeared above the guardian¡¯s head. It was evident that the Strength of a Thousand Catties had been triggered. It instantly killed the guardian. [You have in Guardian No. 1 and gained 10,000 experience points!] However, in the instant the guardian was in, the other two guardians simultaneously opened their eyes.. Two deafening roars echoed. They charged straight towards Mo Xiao. ¡°Looks like I can¡¯t kill them one by one¡­¡± Seeing the two guardians rushing towards him, Mo Xiao quickly retreated. His Flying General¡¯s Bow continued to fire at the guardians. Before the two Guardians could get close, their health bars had already hit rock bottom. ¡°Two more shots!¡± Mo Xiao remainedposed and shot two arrows directly. Another string of numbers appeared. The HP of the two guardians decreased to zero at this moment. However, their bodies did not disappear. Instead, they fell slowly to the ground. They gradually emanated a crimson glow. In the next moment, vines devoid of crimson color burst out from the fallen Guardian¡¯s body, spreading in all directions like blood. Seeing the rapidly approaching vines, Mo Xiao was momentarily stunned. In that moment of hesitation, the eerie vines directly brushed against Mo Xiao¡¯s leg. [-2,000!] Immediately, a terrifying amount of damage surged from Mo Xiao¡¯s body. Startled, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils contracted, and he turned around to run. If it weren¡¯t for consuming the Life Crystal just now, he would have been done for! ¡°What the hell is this thing? Such high damage!¡± Mo Xiao looked bewilderedly at the red vines that covered almost the entire area, his face filled with confusion. Even with the use of Detection Skill, he couldn¡¯t see any information about these red vines. Mo Xiao¡¯s health had been restored to full with the help of the Dragon King¡¯s Pendant, but he still didn¡¯t want to touch this thing again. Just as he was pondering, the vines finally stopped expanding outward and started to retract rapidly. The crimson vines, like ws, curled up everything they touched and rapidly contracted toward the center, including the previously in Guardians by Mo Xiao. Before long, all the red vines disappeared, leaving behind a peculiar red giant egg in the center of the area. Before Mo Xiao could use his detection technique, a pair of demon wings full of holes stretched out from the egg first. An earth-shattering roar sounded. A monstrous being with three heads, six arms, a pair of wings, and wearing crimson armor directly appeared in the center of the field. [Guardian 2] Level: ??? Attributes: ??? Introduction: It has guarded this ce for thousands of years, and no one has ever passed through its hands. Perhaps no one has evere? It seems to possess an evil power that is extremely terrifying. Please handle with care. Chapter 36 Guardian No. 2 ¡°Guardian No. 2 turned out to be abination of three No. 1s¡­ But what is that red vine? Is it the evil power mentioned in the information?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was muttering to himself, a crimson light burst out from the void and instantly pierced through Mo Xiao¡¯s body. [-9,999!] -4,999 [Beep! Thorn effect triggered!] [Beep, ck Tortoise Armor has been activated. HP is forcefully locked at one drop of blood for five seconds!] [Beep. The enemy has invincibility, immune to earth and water attribute control.] ¡°!!!!!¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. He quickly focused his mind, swiftly pulled back his Flying General¡¯s Bow, and began shooting frantically. Instantly, dozens of arrows flew straight towards Guardian No. 2. -1304! Miss! Miss! Miss! ¡­ ¡°What?!¡± With the arrow splitting function, Mo Xiao shot out 50 or 60 arrows in this wave, but only one arrow hit. ¡°Damn it! Why are they all misses?! How high is this guy¡¯s evasion rate?¡± Before Mo Xiao could finish his sentence, the enormous Guardian No. 2 appeared in front of Mo Xiao as if teleporting. With six arms and sixrge sabers, he ruthlessly shed at Mo Xiao. At this moment, Mo Xiao had no time to think and could only rely on his warrior¡¯s reflexes to fight back with all his might. The sixrge des came down on Mo Xiao like raindrops, rapidly shing towards him. Mo Xiao quickly retreated while his Lord¡¯s Sword in his hand forcefully flicked upward. ¡°ng!¡± A sound of metal collision rang out. The massive Guardian No. 2 staggered back two steps, and the des in its hands were almost knocked away. -1,000 -1,000 -1,000 At the same time, three different-colored numbers appeared on the body of Guardian No. 2, indicating sessful counterattacks. ¡°Why is the damage so low?¡± Mo Xiao frowned, looking at the noticeably heavier armor on this creaturepared to Guardian No. 1, his expression turning increasingly grim. ¡°There¡¯s no way this guy¡¯s damage is only one thousand points. There¡¯s only one possibility¡­¡± Damage Absorption. A very rare attribute, but if one possessed it, even skills that could cause fixed damage could be partially absorbed. Based on this creature¡¯s situation, it should have an insanely powerful damage absorption skill. ¡°I wonder if this thing qualifies as an elite-level or higher monster¡­¡± Mo Xiao muttered, taking a deep breath and entering a state ofplete focus, not daring to have any distractions. With the help of his warrior¡¯s reflexes, Mo Xiao could keep up with the speed of Guardian No. 2. He perfectly parried every attack, even though he could only inflict a maximum of three thousand damage. At least he was causing damage. After each counterattack, Guardian No. 2 would stagger back two steps, and during that time, Mo Xiao had an opportunity to strike back. Although Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t use active skills in this situation, with the high-frequency attacks of his Flying General¡¯s Bow, even if this creature had a high evasion rate, Mo Xiao could asionally hit it with two arrows. Now, Mo Xiao¡¯s gamble was whether he could trigger the Crushing Force a few more times. ¡­ . Four hourster, inside the ck ant dungeon. Jiang He sat quietly in front of the hidden space where she had been waiting. Just as she was about to doze off, a system prompt suddenly sounded. [The time limit for the ck Ant Dungeon has been reached. You will be transported out of the dungeon soon. Please wait¡­] ¡°What? No! Mo Xiao hasn¡¯te out yet!¡± Naturally, the system didn¡¯t pay attention to Jiang He. The next moment, Jiang He felt a sh of light, and she was immediately back at the entrance of the dungeon. ¡°Jiang He, you¡¯re finally back. What happened inside the ck Ant Nest? Why did you stay for so long?¡± As soon as Jiang He came out, the Second Hall Master rushed over with a worried expression. Beside the Second Hall Master, Jiang Shan sat on the ground with a swollen face and bruises, his eyes filled with tears. ¡°Little ancestor, you finally came out. If you didn¡¯te out, your mother would have killed me!¡± ¡°Mother¡­ ¡± Jiang He murmured, looking at the Second Hall Master in front of her. Then, as if she remembered something, she quickly asked, ¡°Uncle! Mother! Have you seen Mo Xiao?¡± ¡°Hmm? Didn¡¯t he teleport out with you?¡± The Second Hall Master furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this. ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be the case. The ck Ant Nest dungeon, which is at the Purgatory level, allows a maximum of four hours. If it exceeds four hours, you¡¯ll be forcibly teleported out.¡± Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan cautiously approached and said, ¡°We used the Scrying Mirror just now. Did you find something on one of the walls? The Scrying Mirror shattered at that moment.¡± Jiang He nodded hastily. ¡°Yes! At that time, Mo Xiao found a hidden space. We were supposed to go in together, but I hesitated for a moment, and Mo Xiao went in alone. After that, the teleportation didn¡¯t work.¡± ¡°What? There can¡¯t be a hidden space in the ck Ant Nest! That¡¯s impossible!¡± Jiang Shan immediately refuted without hesitation. This ck Ant Nest had been explored by countless predecessors, even though it was a Purgatory-level dungeon. They had never discovered any hidden spaces. How could Mo Xiao find one? If it weren¡¯t for Jiang He saying it, Jiang Shan probably wouldn¡¯t have believed it. ¡°It¡¯s true! I¡¯m not lying to you!¡± Jiang He anxiously said, ¡°He has been in that hidden space for four hours now! He hasn¡¯te out yet!¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s expression became strange as he asked, ¡°Could that guy be dead?¡± ¡°Impossible! I was in a team with him! I can see his information!¡± Jiang He said, pulling up their team panel directly. They saw that Mo Xiao¡¯s HP had remained at 100%, indicating that he was constantly in battle, which was quite strange. Seeing this, the Deputy Master remained silent for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s not impossible for a hidden space to exist.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Shan looked at her in astonishment. ¡°Are you serious, sister-inw?¡± ¡°Can you exin the existence of the secret realms then? Even the monsters in our world appear out of thin air. It¡¯s normal for such hidden spaces to suddenly appear,¡± the Deputy Hall Master calmly said. ¡°Currently, we can only observe Mo Xiao¡¯s status through a panel. We can¡¯t help him.¡± ¡°What if I send him a message? Or ask him to start a video call?¡± Jiang He quickly suggested. ¡°No.¡± Before Jiang He could send a message, Jiang Shan and the Deputy Hall Master stopped him at the same time. ¡°No, you can¡¯t.¡± Before Jiang He could send a message, Jiang Shan and the Deputy Hall Master simultaneously stopped her. ¡°Then¡­ What should we do?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do. We can only wait patiently.¡± Meanwhile, inside the dungeon. Mo Xiao walked skillfully through the field, his sweat-soaked head and heaving chest revealing his exhaustion. How could he not be tired after four hours of intense battle? ¡°There¡¯s only onest thing left¡­ Go to hell!¡± As thest arrow was shot, a pleasant voice resounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s mind. Mo Xiao¡¯s heart instantly rxed, and he copsed to the ground.

If a monster has special items, they will definitely drop!] Chapter 38 Guardian ¡°Hmm¡­ Did I fall asleep?¡± Ten hourster, Mo Xiao groggily opened his eyes. Although yesterday he had spent the whole afternoon killing monsters, they were all weak trash mobs that could be easily taken down with a single skill. It didn¡¯t require much effort at all, and he could easily handle them. As for the second guardian just now, not only did it have high HP, but it also had a high dodging rate. Its attack power was even more exaggerated. With just a slight touch, his HP instantly plummeted. He had to fully immerse himself in the battle. After four hours, he was already mentally exhausted, and as soon as he rxed, he fell into a deep sleep. ¡°This thing is really hard to defeat. I wonder if I can go back now.¡± Mo Xiaoy on the ground for a while before slowly getting up. He walked briskly towards the center of the arena, towards the enormous corpse of Guardian Number 2. [You obtained Guardian¡¯s Chest *1] [You obtained Guardian¡¯s Saber*1] [You obtained Guardian¡¯s Heavy Armor*1] [You obtained Guardian¡¯s Greaves*1] [You obtained Evil Qi Fragment*1] Looking at the series of messages, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. The Guardian¡¯s Heavy Armor and Guardian¡¯s Greaves were obviously from the Guardian¡¯s Set. Judging from the situation, they were definitely not something he could equip at the moment. So Mo Xiao didn¡¯t even bother looking at them and directly stored them in his backpack. ¡°Evil Qi fragment? What is this?¡± Mo Xiao curiously picked up the evil Qi fragment. [Evil Qi Fragment: A special item from the Trial Grounds, possesses an extremely eerie power. When used, it increases all attributes by 300 points for ten minutes, and it can be stacked. PS: Excessive use is not rmended as it may have a detrimental effect on one¡¯s mental state.] ¡°Increase all attributes by 300? That exaggerated? It can even be stacked?! If I eat more than 10 in one go, won¡¯t I be invincible? I wonder how many I can¡¯t overuse.¡± Mo Xiao sighed and took the fragment to rub against it. [You rubbed against the evil qi fragment. The evil qi fragment sublimated into an evil qi condensation.] [Evil Energy Condensation Block: A special item from the trial ground. The owner has an extremely strange power. After using it, all attributes will increase by 1,000 points for five minutes. It can be stacked. Ps: You can¡¯t use it excessively, or it will have a bad effect on your consciousness.] ¡°Increases all attributes by 300? That¡¯s so exaggerated! And it can be stacked?! If I consume a dozen of these at once, wouldn¡¯t I be invincible? I wonder how many is considered excessive use.¡± Putting away the Demonic Qi Congealing Block, although the name was a bit off, Mo Xiao had a feeling that he would definitely be able to use it. [You rubbed the Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest, and it transcended into the Defender¡¯s Treasure Chest!] [You have opened the guardian treasure chest and obtained the guardian heavy sword!] [Guardian¡¯s Heavy Sword] Grade: Purple Strength: 300 Attack Power: 300 Critical Strike: 25% Physique: 50 deless Heavy Sword: This sword has no sharp edge and relies solely on its weight for attacks. When attacking, the user gains Unyielding effect, ignoring all forms of control. Guardian Power: Possesses the formidable defensive power of the Guardian. When used, it grants a shield equivalent to 20% of the user¡¯s maximum HP. Mountain-Cleaving Strike: A swing of the sword unleashes a powerful sword energy that can split mountains, dealing damage equal to 500% of the user¡¯s strength. Cost: 1000 HP. Cooldown: 5 minutes. Upgradeable: This equipment can be upgraded through a special method. Set: Guardian¡¯s Heavy Sword, Guardian¡¯s Magic Armor, Guardian¡¯s Greaves, Guardian¡¯s Helm. Equipment Level: LV25 ¡°Hmm? It can be equipped at only level 25? Aren¡¯t Guardians supposed to be more powerful than Guardians of the Gate? Why is the level requirement lower?¡± Mo Xiao was a bit confused as he looked at the attributes of the equipment. [This equipment is obtained from the Guardian¡¯s Chest, and the usable level will change based on the opener of the chest. Therefore, the minimum equipment level is 25, and it cannot go any lower, resulting in a level 25 equipment being obtained.] ¡°Oh¡­ I see.¡± Mo Xiao nodded slightly. ¡°I just need to level up three more times, then I can use it. I¡¯ll worry about it after I level up.¡± One couldn¡¯t deny that the solo yer profession was truly amazing. Not only could he ignore the ss requirements to learn skills and use equipment, but he could also use high-level equipment across 10 levels. If there really was a solo yer among those big families, as long as they slightly tilted the resources towards him, he would definitely be much stronger than the average S-ss professional. As for Mo Xiao, this anomaly, if it weren¡¯t for his talent of rubbing the edges of this bug-level talent, he would probably not even be able to leave the city. Thinking about this, Mo Xiao shook his head lightly and walked directly towards the next passage. [Congrattions on passing Trial 2. Would you like to enter the next Trial Space?] ¡°System, can¡¯t you just let me out? I feel like I won¡¯t be able to handle it if it goes further¡­¡± Mo Xiao asked helplessly. [Trial Space is a special space, and you cannot exit beforepleting the trial.] Although he knew this answer himself, he had no other choice but to continue moving forward. ¡°Then let¡¯s enter the next space.¡± Once again, a bright light shed, and Mo Xiao appeared in an open space. [You have arrived at the Trial Grounds ¨C Three. Pleaseplete the trial!] As the system prompt sounded, red lights flickered across the entire arena. In the next moment, a total of 20 Guardian No. 1 appeared in the arena. ¡°Twenty guardians. This trial ground really thinks highly of me!¡± Mo Xiao clenched his teeth, but he had no choice but to face them head-on. He could only be grateful that it wasn¡¯t two Guardian Number 2, or else it would have been a life-threatening situation for him. ¡­ An hourter. [You have killed 20 Guardian Number 1 and gained 200,000 experience points!] [Congrattions on reaching Level 14. All attributes increase by five points, and you have obtained 10 points to allocate freely.] Mo Xiao stood panting in the center of the arena, stuffing a bunch of Guardian¡¯s Great Swords and various sets into his backpack. ¡°Although these things are easier to deal with than Number 2, it¡¯s still challenging to handle such arge number¡­¡± Mo Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just as Mo Xiao was examining his backpack for any new items, the eerie red vines from the previous level appeared once again, instantly gathering all the corpses of the guardians. Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t even think twice before turning around and running. Leaving aside everything else, just the damage caused by those red vines alone was enough to give him a hard time. ¡°First, there were three of those monsters, and now there are twenty¡­ Does this trial really not want anyone to pass?¡± Mo Xiao gritted his teeth as he looked at the red sphere before him, his face full of nervousness. He had a feeling that the uing monster would probably take his life in one go. [The Guardian has appeared. Participants, be vignt!] As the system notification sounded, the red sphere slowly unraveled. A man d in red armor from head to toe appeared directly in the center of the arena. [Guardian¡ªGold-Tier Boss] Level: LV25 Attributes: ??? Skill: ??? Introduction: A formidable entity at the end of the Guardian¡¯s Trial, possessing the mysterious power to manipte the Trial Grounds. Please refrain from attempting to fight him. Escaping is the only way out. Chapter 39 Demonization! ¡°Are the guardians actually lower in level? Or was it adjusted based on my level? But this is a boss of the gold level¡­¡± Looking at the motionless Guardian standing in ce, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of unease: ¡°Unfortunately, even at level 25, I can¡¯t see its attributes¡­ It would be better if I were a bit higher. ¡°Anyway, let¡¯s try attacking it.¡± Saying that, Mo Xiao immediately pulled back the Flying General¡¯s Longbow. However, in the instant that Mo Xiao pulled back the longbow, an inexplicable chill crawled up his spine. In the next moment, he immediately halted his attack and abruptly crouched down. In an instant, a crimson vine swept past, just barely missing Mo Xiao thanks to his quick crouch. That attack could have easily severed him in two. ¡°You audacious little rat! How dare you intrude upon the forbidden trial grounds! Come forth and meet your doom!!!¡± As if noticing Mo Xiao¡¯s movement, the guardian¡¯s formerly lifeless eyes suddenly gleamed with a chilling red light. Simultaneously, countless red energy rapidly converged towards the guardian. Before long, a thickyer of red crystal formed over his body, and the Guardian¡¯s Heavy Sword in his hand turned into a giant crimson de. Even more terrifying, dozens of red vines were wriggling on his shoulders, clearly under his perfect control. For Mo Xiao, he had methods to block both magic and closebat, but he had no way to deal with these red vines; he could only rely on evasion. He gazed at the guardian before him, radiating with red light. He gritted his teeth and allocated all his unassigned attribute points to agility. Though it was like a drop in the ocean, every little bit counted. After all, Mo Xiao was certain that this so-called Guardian had an astonishingly high defense, and his own attacks couldn¡¯t possibly break through it. All he could do was rely on counterattacks to return the damage back to him. Just as Mo Xiao was contemting this, the motionless guardian standing there suddenly disappeared. At the same time, a red afterimage darted around the entire trial space, and in an instant, it appeared in front of Mo Xiao. The heavy sword in its hand, as if weightless, viciously swung down towards Mo Xiao¡¯s head. ¡°So fast!¡± Seeing the sudden appearance of the guardian, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils contracted, quickly raising his hand to block and swiftly retreating. If it weren¡¯t for his warrior-like reflexes, he would have likely be a lifeless soul under the sword by now. ¡°ng!¡± A dull sound of metal shing reverberated. The Guardian¡¯s body instantly burst into red light. Although no damage rebound was observed, the red crystal that previously enveloped its torso and arms shattered, revealing normal flesh. ¡°What an opportunity! Take this!¡± Seeing this situation, Mo Xiao naturally wouldn¡¯t let go of such a good chance. He quickly drew his bow and shot arrows with the Flying General¡¯s Longbow towards the guardian. -10 -10 -10 ¡­ In the next moment, a series of double-digit damage numbers shed across the Guardian¡¯s body. Clearly, despite Mo Xiao¡¯s high attack power and the assistance of the Worker Ant¡¯s strength, he couldn¡¯t break through this guy¡¯s defense. ¡°Oh man, I really can¡¯t break through it! It feels like I¡¯m scraping forever!¡± Mo Xiao sighed with a bitter smile. Just as he was preparing to create distance and wait for an opportunity, he suddenly noticed that the guardian remained motionless, seemingly waiting for the red crystals on its body to recover. ¡°¡­¡± Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao suddenly became bold. He rushed directly in front of the guardian and forcefully swiped his hand against its body. You vigorously rubbed against the Guardian, and the skill ¡®Evil Qi Extraction¡¯ has been copied! [Evil Qi Extraction: Activate the power of evil to extract vitality from the target, turning it into evil qi that enters your own body, inducing a state of demonization.] [Demonization: Special state after the infusion of evil qi! Defense power reduced to zero, strength increased tenfold, mental power increased tenfold, agility increased fivefold! Health reduced by fifty percent, with a certain chance of losing rationality,sting for 10 minutes. Cooldown: 10 minutes.] ¡°Strength increased tenfold?!¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao gasped in shock, ignoring the reduction in defense and health. After all, in the current situation, whether defense and health decrease or not, he would be instantly defeated. Because, the best defense was a strong offense! As long as he yed the Guardian, all problems would be solved! With these thoughts in mind, Mo Xiao no longer hesitated. Without further ado, he directly activated thistest skill. ¡°Evil Qi Extraction!¡± He extended his right hand, and his health instantly decreased by one-third. At the same time, a crimson vine shot out directly from Mo Xiao¡¯s palm, wrapping around the guardian¡¯s body. In the next moment, Mo Xiao felt an indescribable burning sensation, sweeping through his entire body along his arm. Simultaneously, countless red crystals appeared on Mo Xiao¡¯s body, apanied by this burning sensation. It was as if a red armor had been constructed on him, exuding an iparable coolness. ¡°Ah!!!¡± [Demonization state activated!] With a roar from Mo Xiao, he felt his consciousness slightly blurred, his eyes filled with red light. Without hesitation, he pulled back the Flying General¡¯s Longbow and began a frenzy of attacks. -1151 -1151 ¡­ Soon, countless damage numbers exceeding a thousand continued to flicker on the guardian¡¯s body. The damage was still not high, but it could be considered some damage. After a while, Mo Xiao stopped his attacks, and the red glow in his eyes slowly disappeared. His consciousness also returned to rity. ¡°It seems like I lost control for a moment¡­ This skill really shouldn¡¯t be used recklessly. Luckily, the guardian hasn¡¯t made a move yet.¡± Just as Mo Xiao spoke these words, the guardian moved once again. He had no choice but to continue evading and embark on a long journey of scraping. ¡­ Meanwhile, in the Mayor¡¯s reception hall of Yicheng Base City. ¡°Hello, I am the Mayor of Yicheng Base City, Fang Chang. May I ask what brings you here?¡± The Mayor looked at the individuals seated in front of him with an indifferent tone. The person in the lead, with a cold expression, looked at the Mayor and said calmly, ¡°Mayor Fang, greetings. We are the inspection team from Tianyuan Battlefield. Based on the reports from the warriors, we have discovered the presence of someone maliciously killing battlefield heroes in your city, so we havee here to investigate.¡± ¡°Maliciously killing battlefield heroes? Are you joking?¡± Mayor Fang furrowed his brows upon hearing this. ¡°We are not joking. The victim is here as well. If you have any objections, you can speak directly with him.¡± After saying this, the person¡¯s gaze shifted to a burly man by their side. ¡°Hello again, Mayor Fang. It¡¯s been a while since west met.¡± ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Tu Feiding?¡± Chapter 40 Tu Feiding Arrives ¡°Tu Feiding? What¡¯s going on with you? You promised me not to cause trouble, and I agreed to let you bring your people to our base city to search for job transition materials. What do you mean now?¡± Tu Feiding nced at Fang Chang and sneered, ¡°??City Lord Fang, I don¡¯t like the way you¡¯re talking. What do you mean by ¡®what do I mean¡¯? You should ask the people in your base city! Can¡¯t you see what situation I¡¯m in now?¡± Upon hearing this, Fang Chang was slightly taken aback and immediately cast a probing technique on Tu Feiding. ¡°This¡­ the Soul Roaming buff?¡± Seeing this buff, Fang Chang¡¯s expression instantly lit up, ¡°You¡­ are you dead?¡± ¡°Yes! If it weren¡¯t for earning some military exploits on the Tianyuan Battlefield some time ago and exchanging for the Blessing of the Heavenly Dao, I would truly be dead this time!¡± Tu Feiding gritted his teeth. Listening to Tu Feiding¡¯s words, Fang Chang still had a skeptical look on his face. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this Soul Roaming buff couldn¡¯t be faked, Fang Chang would never believe this guy¡¯s story. Although Tu Feiding was just an ordinary level 30 professional about to undergo his second advancement, he was the fifth young master of the Tu family in Jiangnan Base City. He was domineering and behaved like a bandit despite being a member of a prestigious family. Relying on his family¡¯s influence, he acted tyrannically everywhere. Because there were too many people who couldn¡¯t stand him, the Tu family forcefully sent him to the Tianyuan Battlefield to temper him, earn some military exploits, and also sharpen his temperament. Recently, he had reached the threshold for his second advancement and couldn¡¯t continue leveling up, so they had to let him return for a job transition. Fang Chang stared at Tu Feiding for a while before saying, ¡°So, what Tu Young Master means is that your death is rted to the people in our base city?¡± ¡°What do you mean by ¡®rted¡¯? It was the people from your base city who killed me! I died by his hands! How could I not know who it was! No matter what you say today, you have to bring that kid in front of me!¡± Tu Feiding demanded. After a moment of contemtion, Fang Chang said, ¡°Even if you want me to bring the person in front of you, at least tell me who it is.¡± ¡°If I didn¡¯t see it wrong at the time, that person should be called Mo Xiao,¡± Tu Feiding recalled and said directly, ¡°Not only did he kill me, but he also took away my orange-tier weapon! Regardless of anything, I want him to pay with his own blood!¡± ¡°Mo Xiao?!¡± Tu Feiding had just uttered the name, and Fang Chang¡¯s expression instantly became serious. ¡°Are you sure that person¡¯s name is Mo Xiao?¡± Fang Chang asked tentatively. Without hesitation, Tu Feiding firmly affirmed, ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s Mo Xiao.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Fang Chang fell silent for a moment, then raised his hand and summoned an illusionary panel. He pushed it in front of Tu Feiding and asked, ¡°Is this the person?¡± The panel disyed a photo left behind by Mo Xiao when he enrolled. ¡°That¡¯s him! Even if I turned into ashes, I wouldn¡¯t forget his face!¡± Tu Feiding gritted his teeth upon seeing the photo. ¡°Are you¡­ certain?¡± Fang Chang asked for confirmation once again. Fang Chang was naturally aware of the bug concerning Mo Xiao, especially since Mo Xiao was from the Mo family. However, no matter what Tu Feiding said, he was still a strong level 30 professional on the verge of his second advancement. Fang Chang didn¡¯t believe that this guy would die so easily at the hands of Mo Xiao. Although he had also heard about Mo Xiao¡¯s feat of killing a level 5 mutant elite monster, that was still just a level 15 monster, which couldn¡¯t bepared to a level 30 professional. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Tu Feiding was also somewhat puzzled by Fang Chang¡¯s expression. Fang Chang put away the panel and said with a strange expression, ¡°There¡¯s nothing else, but the main thing is, this Mo Xiao just underwent a job transition yesterday. Are you sure?¡± ¡°W-What?¡± As Fang Chang spoke, the two patrol team members behind Tu Feiding also froze, their gazes instinctively shifting towards Tu Feiding. ¡°Well, since you can¡¯te up with a reasonable exnation either, I¡¯ll take you to meet this Mo Xiao,¡± Fang Chang said, not bothering to say much. He directly opened his contact list. Just then, the door to the reception room suddenly opened. Jiang Shan rushed in, saying, ¡°Old Fang, something¡¯s not right with the instance¡­¡± Before Jiang Shan could finish his sentence, he noticed that besides Fang Chang, there were three other people sitting in the reception room. ¡°Tu Feiding? What are you doing here? Did you get your job transition materials?¡± Jiang Shan was not as polite as Fang Chang. Upon seeing Tu Feiding, his disgust was unconcealed. Seeing this, Fang Chang cleared his throat and said, ¡°Tu Feiding has something that requires our cooperation. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re here. Tell Mo Xiao not to enter the instance for now ande here with me.¡± Jiang Shan furrowed his brows upon hearing this, then said, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what you want Mo Xiao for, he won¡¯t be able toe over in the short term.¡± ¡°What did you say?! Are you trying to protect that Mo Xiao in Yicheng Base City? Let me tell you! Whether Mo Xiaoes today or not, he has toe! Otherwise, I¡¯ll have the Tu family directly dismantle your instance hall!¡± Tu Feiding said in a vile manner. Jiang Shan¡¯s eyes turned cold upon hearing this. ¡°No matter how you cause a scene, he can¡¯te now. He discovered a hidden space in the instance and is currently trapped inside.¡± ¡°Uncle? What¡¯s going on?¡± Just then, Jiang He seemed to have heard themotion in the room and cautiously walked in. ¡°?!¡± When Jiang He entered the reception room, all eyes instantly focused on her. And in that instant, Tu Feiding also noticed the Bow of Stars that Jiang He was carrying on his back. ¡°This is it! This is the bow!¡± Tu Feiding shouted loudly, ¡°This is the equipment that Mo Xiao took from me!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The room fell silent at these words. The Bow of Stars was the main weapon Mo Xiao used yesterday, and everyone present had seen this bow. ¡°I mean, this bow is a good orange-tier weapon, but it¡¯s a bow meant for archers. You¡¯re a melee mage, why would you need this equipment? Why would someone rob you of it? How could he possibly know that you had this equipment? Were you showing off with it all the time?¡± Jiang Shan said irritably. ¡°So what if I was showing off? Can¡¯t I show off a little? It¡¯s not easy for me to get my hands on an orange-tier weapon!¡± Tu Feiding said without thinking. ¡°Now that Mo Xiao can¡¯te, give me the bow first! It was originally mine!¡± Tu Feiding said, a wicked smile appearing on his lips. ¡°Little girl, since Mo Xiao could give you this bow, your rtionship with him must be good, right?¡± Jiang He frowned at Tu Feiding, ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± ¡°Hehe, nothing much. Since Mo Xiao can¡¯te now, you can rece him and keep mepany!¡± Chapter 41 - 41: Mo Xiao Can’t Come Out Chapter 41: Mo Xiao Can¡¯t Come Out Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Bang!¡± -500 There was a dull sound of flesh colliding. Tu Feiding was sent flying. A ring number popped up above his head. ¡°What did you say, you son of a b*tch! Believe it or not, 1¡¯11 kill you right now!¡± Jiang Shan clenched his fists, fiercely ring at Tu Feiding in front of him. ¡°Let me tell you, Fang Chang is afraid of you! Our Jiang family isn¡¯t afraid of you either! Dare toy a hand on my niece, and I¡¯ll cut you into pieces and feed them to monsters, believe it or not!¡± Seeing this scene, the inspection team, which had remained silent behind Tu Feiding, immediately stepped forward and guarded him. ¡°Senior Jiang Shan, we are from the Hero Hall¡¯s inspection team. Tu Feiding has fought in the Tianyuan battlefield for two years and has achieved high merits, qualifying as a warlord. ¡°After our investigation, he did die after being attacked by a human. In any case, we must seek justice for our human hero. Even if there may be hidden motives in this matter, you must hand over the individuals involved for us to confront them one by one.¡± ¡°Mo Xiao can¡¯te out now, don¡¯t you understand?¡± Although Jiang Shan wanted to attack the son of a b*tch in front of the inspection team and beat him senseless, he knew he couldn¡¯t act too arrogantly in front of them, even though he had also earned military merits. The two members of the inspection team furrowed their brows slightly upon hearing this. ¡°Since he¡¯s inside the instance dungeon, why not call him out?¡± When Jiang He heard this, she quickly went forward and disyed her team¡¯s panel. ¡°This is. abat state. This state means that he cannot leave?¡± The members of the inspection team squinted their eyes slightly and, after confirming multiple times, said, ¡°He seems to have entered a special space within the instance, and there are only two ways to end it.¡± ¡°Which two methods?¡± When Jiang He heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly asked. ¡°First, he mustplete the challenge or test he is currently undertaking, and second, he can die directly if he has received the blessings of the Hero Hall.¡± The inspection team members said calmly. Upon hearing this, Jiang He¡¯s expression instantly darkened. ¡°He just changed his profession yesterday. How could he have received the blessings?¡± ¡°In that case, the odds are not in his favor. It¡¯s rare to encounter such situations in these ces, and if he does, the difficulty is usually far beyond the current level.¡± H ii ¡°What?! That kid is going to die?! No, absolutely not! I haven¡¯t taken revenge yet! Why does he get to die?¡± Tu Feiding angrily roared, ¡°He killed me, and I must personally ughter him to ease my hatred!¡± The expressions of the two members of the inspection team changed upon hearing this. They then said indifferently, ¡°Even if he manages to pass, it may still take a long time¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine! Well wait then! I have plenty of time! Killers must be killed! What¡¯s wrong with that?¡± Jiang Shan and Fang Chang looked at each other and could only shake their heads helplessly. After some discussion, Jiang Shan left with Jiang He under Tu Feiding¡¯s yelling. Fang Chang was left to watch over him and prevent him from causing more trouble. Not long after, outside the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. ¡°Uncle, did Mo Xiao really kill someone?¡± Jiang He asked doubtfully. Jiang Shan looked towards where Tu Feiding was standing and said, ¡°It¡¯s very likely, we¡¯ll have to wait until Mo Xiaoes out to know for sure.¡± ¡°I know Mo Xiao¡¯s character very well. If someone doesn¡¯t provoke him, he definitely won¡¯t take the initiative to cause trouble. It must be this Tu Feiding who provoked him first!¡± ¡°I understand. Tell me about your situation with the Bow of Stars. 1 need to understand some details first. Mo Xiao is, after all, the most talented person in our Yicheng City. Even if he did make a mistake, we will do our best to protect him.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Meanwhile, at the teleportation array in the northern part of Yicheng City: A woman in a ck robe appeared in the teleportation array. ¡°So, this is Yicheng Base City? It really is a low-level area. The city guards are only around level 30,¡± the woman curiously surveyed her surroundings. ¡°Jin¡¯er, I still have things to do. Why did you bring me here?¡± At this moment, another white light shed on the teleportation array, and a man d in luxurious armor appeared, looking helplessly at the woman before him. This woman was none other than Su Jin¡¯er, who had given Mo Xiao the equipment previously. ¡°Senior brother, I brought you here because there¡¯s something important! Master mentioned wanting to take on ast disciple, right? I¡¯ve found a promising talent and wanted you to take a look,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a cheerful smile. ¡°Master¡¯sst disciple? Didn¡¯t he say he would select during the college entrance examination?¡± The man raised an eyebrow, showing some confusion. ¡°That¡¯s what he said! Just take a look first. Even if Master doesn¡¯t approve, you can take him as your disciple,¡± Su Jin¡¯er continued, ¡°You¡¯re almost level 80, and there shouldn¡¯t be a problem with taking on a disciple, right?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The man looked at Su Jin¡¯er speechlessly. ¡°Who is this person that has you so concerned?¡± ¡°He¡¯s the young guy who saved my life before and helped me obtain thest ss advancement item. 1 have to repay him somehow!¡± Su Jin¡¯er nced at the man and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t make things difficult for you. His talent and ss are both super strong!¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s see him first then.¡± Inside the instance dungeon. ¡°ng!¡± There was another sound of metal shing. Mo Xiao didn¡¯t know how many times he had deflected the boss¡¯ attacks. However, his HP was decreasing very slowly. Every time he bounced back, he could only reduce a very weak amount of HP. ¡°I swear¡­ if this continues, I¡¯ll really die from exhaustion!¡± Mo Xiaoined and sighed while drawing his longbow. ¡°Trigger it for me! Instant death!!!¡± Unable to break through the boss¡¯s defense with his attacks, Mo Xiao could only pin his hopes on his bug-level instant death effect. Although it had a 5% chance of triggering, in reality, the odds were even lower. Perhaps it was because this boss was much stronger than him. Just as Mo Xiao was praying, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear. [Instant death effect triggered!] -9,999,999! Another absurdly long string of gray numbers appeared. The Guardian instantly roared miserably and fell to the ground. The red crystals on his body immediately shattered like ss. Before long, itpletely disappeared, leaving only the strange dark red armor on him. Just as Mo Xiao was about to heave a sigh of relief, the Guardian suddenly stood up from the ground. ¡°Phew¡­ Although 1 don¡¯t know who you are, thank you for helping me deal with this cursed evil power. I should have let you go as a gesture of gratitude, but as the Guardian, I cannot do so.. Come! Fight me!¡± Chapter 42 - 42: Terrifying Guardian, New Idea Chapter 42: Terrifying Guardian, New Idea Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Come! If you¡¯re ready,e and fight me!¡± The Guardian looked at Mo Xiao, who was not far away, and thrust his heavy sword into the ground. With his eyes glowing red, he slowly closed them and stopped moving, seemingly entering a standby state. Not far away, Mo Xiao looked at the motionless Guardian and muttered in his heart: ¡°Is the instant death attribute useless against him? Or is there something else going on? Could it be that the red energy is a separate entity?¡± Mo Xiao was full of doubts at this moment and instinctively used his probing skill on the Guardian again. [Guardian ? tinum-Level Boss] Level: Level 30 Attributes: ??? Skill: ??? Introduction: A powerful presence at the end of the Guardian¡¯s Trial, once the world¡¯s strongest Sword Saint. It is unknown why he guards this ce, possessing powerful abilities to manipte the Trial Ground. Please do not attempt to fight him; escape is the only way out. ¡°What?! Why did the red energy disappear, and this guy¡¯s grade and level both increased!¡± Mo Xiao widened his eyes in surprise. ording to the rules, that red vine should have been a demonic power, and doesn¡¯t it say that demonization strengthens threefold and weakens threefold when purified? Why doesn¡¯t thisw apply to this guy? Why did this guy be stronger after being purified??? This is not logical! ¡°I say¡­ Big boss, can you let me go back?¡± Mo Xiao stood at a distance, staring at the Guardian for a long time, then cautiously took two steps forward and asked loudly. Following Mo Xiao¡¯s voice, the Guardian opened his eyes again. But this time, the Guardian¡¯s eyes were no longer red; they had a light blue hue. ¡°This Trial Ground is extremely special. It is impossible to leave this ce unless you pass the trial.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao could only sigh helplessly. ¡°Looks like I can only continue scraping here?¡± Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and once again drew his bow. ¡°Swish, swish, swish¡­¡± Five arrows shot straight towards the Guardian¡¯s face. Just as the arrow was about to hit the Guardian, the Guardian suddenly opened his eyes. His massive sword seemed weightless as he swung it instantly. ¡°Ding ding ding ding ding ding!¡± Only five light clinks were heard, and the five arrows shot by Mo Xiao were instantly deflected. Mo Xiao was also stunned when he saw this. Before he could react, the Guardian appeared in front of Mo Xiao. Without hesitation, he swung his heavy sword towards Mo Xiao¡¯s forehead. ¡°!!!¡± This sudden attack was too fast for even the War God to respond to. ¡°Am I going to die?!¡± Seeing the heavy sword already above his head, Mo Xiao instinctively closed his eyes, waiting for the impending death. However, after a long time, Mo Xiao did not feel any pain. ¡°Huh? 1¡­ I¡¯m not dead?¡± Mo Xiao carefully opened his eyes and saw that the guardian¡¯s heavy sword had stopped just above his head. ¡°You saved me. Although I won¡¯t let you pass this trial, I¡¯m not one to repay kindness with enmity.¡± As the Guardian spoke, he slowly put away the heavy sword in his hand. ¡°I won¡¯t let you go over, nor can I release you, but 1 won¡¯t kill you either. You¡¯re on your own.¡± With that, the Guardian took three steps forward and returned to his position in front of the passageway, closing his eyes again, and entering standby mode. ¡°¡­¡± Watching the Guardian return to his spot, Mo Xiao opened his mouth but didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. With the terrifying speed of the Guardian, Mo Xiao was no match for him. After all, his previous victories were all thanks to thebination of the ck Tortoise Armor. Now that the War God¡¯s reflexes were ineffective, Mo Xiao had no chance against this guy. Unless Mo Xiao could kill him in one move, this was obviously impossible. Even the instant death effect couldn¡¯t do it. After all, even the flying longbow could not cause any damage to this fellow. Seeing the Guardian standing at the entrance like a door god, Mo Xiao sat down directly on the ground, opened his backpack and skill panel, and began studying each item and skill, trying to find something that could break the stalemate. ¡°Eh?¡± At this time, Mo Xiao suddenly eximed as a cloak appeared in his hand. [Invisibility Cloak: Special item. It can hide one¡¯s aura and figure and cannot be detected by any skills. It canst for 300 seconds. It¡¯s a one-time use item.] Mo Xiao didn¡¯t even know when he had obtained this Invisible Cloak. Concealing aura and figure, undetectable by any skill. Although it onlysted for 300 seconds, there was no doubt that it was an extremely powerful artifact. Thinking of this, Mo Xiao instinctively looked up and nced at the passage behind the Guardian. Perhaps he could really sneak past with this cloak¡­ With this thought in mind, Mo Xiao stood up and said, ¡°Only 300 seconds, it can only hide my figure and aura, but my voice might still be audible¡­ I¡¯ll have to figure it out.¡± Mo Xiao once again looked at the Guardian, who still had his eyes tightly shut, and surveyed the surroundings. Then, with extreme caution, he took two steps forward. The moment the Guardian opened his eyes, he immediately retreated. With Mo Xiao¡¯s retreat, the guardian closed his eyes again. ¡°The probing range is about eighty meters¡­¡± Mo Xiao muttered as he took out two useless wolf fangs from his backpack and threw them out of the range of the Guardian¡¯s detection. Apanied by two sounds, the Guardian¡¯s eyes twitched open slightly. After confirming that no one had entered, he closed his eyes again. ¡°He reacts to sound. If the radius is 80 meters, it¡¯s 160 meters. In fact, it¡¯s even further¡­ ¡°160 meters. Five minutes. That should do it.¡± After confirming all of his information, Mo Xiao took a deep breath and carefully approached the boundary of the guardian¡¯s detection range. Then, he stepped inside the range and, in that instant, equipped the Invisibility Cloak. [Invisibility Cloak equipped, countdown: 300 seconds!] With the system prompt, Mo Xiao immediately looked at the guardian. ¡°As expected, he can¡¯t see me! There¡¯s hope!¡± Excited, Mo Xiao clenched his fist and began to move forward with cat-like steps, extremely slow and cautious. 300 seconds, not too long, but not too short either. But for Mo Xiao at the moment, it was a very brief time. Mo Xiao had thought about speeding up, but as soon as his footsteps became louder, the Guardian seemed to have a tendency to open his eyes slightly, so Mo Xiao had no choice but to slow down again. Under Mo Xiao¡¯s focused control, he finally crossed the 160 meters and entered the passage. Mo Xiao quickly took off the cloak. ¡°Phew¡­ It looks like I seeded!¡± He then looked at the cloak in his hand. [Invisible Cloak ¨C Remaining Time: 63 seconds..] Chapter 43 - 43: Trial Core? Chapter 43: Trial Core? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios After entering the passage, Mo Xiao directly sat on the ground, still wearing the invisibility cloak. He was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out. Fortunately, the Guardian here wasn¡¯t insane enough to hear people¡¯s heartbeats; otherwise, he would have never made it through. ¡°I¡¯ve finally passed! Let me see what¡¯s behind thisst trial!¡± Excitedly rubbing his hands, Mo Xiao stepped into the interior of the passage. As he advanced, the passage gradually became narrower, and the surrounding light dimmed. Soon, he found himself in an almostpletely dark space. ¡°What is this ce?¡± [Congrattions on reaching the final destination. The active skill seal is lifted!] [You have reached the final destination. Please use the Trial Core to open the Final Door.] A cold mechanical voice sounded. A door shimmering with seven-colored light appeared in front of Mo Xiao. [Final Door: The door at the end of the trial. Only the Trial Core can open this door.] ¡°The Trial Core? What¡­ what is that?¡± Mo Xiao was dumbfounded upon seeing this. He had stumbled here without any knowledge of what the Trial Core even was. [Trial Core: An item carried by the Guardian, who keeps watch over the Trial Grounds. He carries the Trial Core with him, and only by defeating the Guardian can one obtain the Trial Core.] n H Based on this description, it was obvious that the Trial Core was the drop from the Guardian from before. He had to kill him to have a chance of obtaining it. ¡°I thought I seeded¡­ It seems I was too naive!!!¡± Mo Xiao sat on the ground, feeling both amused and helpless. He was so close to getting out, but who would have thought that he was still missing a core! He couldn¡¯t possibly run out to fight the Guardian again. He was no match for him at all! ¡°It seems being clever won¡¯t work¡­ and 1 wasted a supreme-grade item, sigh-¡± Just as he sighed deeply, Mo Xiao suddenly sprang up from the ground: ¡°The active skill seal seems to be lifted?¡± As if he had thought of something, he quickly opened the skill panel and frantically searched for something. [Quick Fingers Mastery: Red skill, the legendary stealing skill, with a 100% sess rate (including monsters)! You can steal any item from the opponent¡¯s backpack! Passive looting: there is a 50% chance to steal all the opponent¡¯s money and a 5% chance topletely empty the opponent¡¯s backpack!] A forgotten red skill introduction panel appeared directly in front of Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao stared at it intensely, especially the word ¡®monster.¡¯ ¡°It seems not entirely hopeless¡­¡± Mo Xiao gulped, and hope once again ignited in his eyes. ¡°System, what is the range of Quick Fingers¡¯ spellcasting?¡± [This skill has a maximum casting range of 10 meters.] Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned again. 10 meters. In other words, he had to get within 70 meters of the Guardian to use this move. Although it was a 100% sessful stealing skill, Mo Xiao wasn¡¯t sure if it would be effective against hostile creatures. His cloak only had 63 seconds left at this point. And based on his recent movement speed, it seemed like it wouldn¡¯t be enough. ¡°I have no choice. I can only give it a try! This guy said he won¡¯t kill me, so as long as I steal from him and escape like crazy, it should work! Now that the skill is unlocked, worst case scenario, I¡¯ll go all out against him!¡± Thinking this through, Mo Xiao nodded firmly. Whether it was for the rewards in this trial space or to escape from here, Mo Xiao was determined to take this risk! Mo Xiao stood up and nced at the Final Door behind him before turning around and walking back into the passage. Before long, the Guardian¡¯s figure appeared again in Mo Xiao¡¯s sight. Watching the strong back, Mo Xiao clenched his teeth, once again wore the invisibility cloak, and cautiously approached within 10 meters behind the Guardian. [Reminder: Invisible Cloak has 30 seconds remaining!] Though Mo Xiao increased his speed, much of the time had already been used up. Seeing this, he gritted his teeth and activated the skill. [You have activated Quick Fingers! Stealing sessful! Congrattions, you obtained the Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest!] [You¡¯ve activated Quick Fingers! Stealing sessful! Congrattions on obtaining the Guardian Heavy Armor! ] ¡°Damn it! Hurry up!¡± Two attempts in a row, but he didn¡¯t get what he wanted. If it weren¡¯t for this skill¡¯sck of cooldown, he might have given up entirely. [You have activated Quick Fingers! Stealing sessful! Congrattions on obtaining all the gold coins of the Guardian!] ¡°Don¡¯t mess with me!!!¡± [You have activated Quick Fingers! Congrattions on triggering a special effect! Your backpack has beenpletely emptied!] The moment this message appeared, Mo Xiao was overjoyed, but before he could turn around, another prompt followed closely. [You stole the Trial Core from the Guardian. The Guardian has entered a state of rage! Please escape quickly or defeat him!] ¡°F*ck! He¡¯s furious?!¡± Seeing this information, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils contracted sharply. He abruptly turned around and ran towards the depths of the passage at the fastest speed he had ever achieved. ¡°You vermin!!! How dare you steal my guardian artifact!!! Stop and ept your death!!!¡± As the Guardian bellowed in rage, he shot forward like an arrow, directly towards Mo Xiao. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to!! I just wanted to get out!!!¡± Seeing the rapidly decreasing distance, Mo Xiao almost cried out in despair. ¡°Advanced Resistance Fire Ring!¡± Just at that moment, Mo Xiao quickly turned around and activated the Advanced Resistance Fire Ring. Instantly, a powerful force pushed against the Guardian. In an instant, the Guardian¡¯s body jerked to a halt and was pushed back several meters. This momentary pause gave Mo Xiao the time he needed to escape. In a mere 10 seconds, Mo Xiao sprinted through the entire passage and rushed into the Final Land. Although the guardian chased after him, he stopped just outside the Final Door, not daring to advance any further. Clearly, he couldn¡¯t enter this ce. ¡°You vermin!!! Come out and ept your death!!! Return the Trial Core to me!!!¡± The Guardian roared with immense fury. ¡°I got it! So it¡¯s mine! Return it to you? Dream on!¡± Mo Xiao retorted, without hesitation, he took out the Trial Core, resembling a badge, from his backpack and swiftly threw it into the Final Door. [Beep, congrattions on opening the final door. Trial passed!] [You will be transported to the final space, do you wish to proceed?] ¡°What? Another space? Don¡¯t tell me I have to fight again?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He really didn¡¯t want to continue any longer.

Do they just randomly name ces in this world?¡± Mo Xiao was a little speechless as heined. Then he carefully examined this so-called Land of Mystery. To be honest, there wasn¡¯t much mystery to it. It was just a massive cave. However, it was ridiculously big. It was more than 10 meters high. From the look of the cave walls, it seemed more like a trace left by a creature passing through. ¡°No way¡­ Could it be that an even more terrifying monster is about to emerge ahead?¡± The thought crossed Mo Xiao¡¯s mind, and he involuntarily gulped nervously. Although he didn¡¯t want to proceed, he had no other way out. He couldn¡¯t possibly go back to the trial ground he was in just now and let the Guardian there kill him, right? Gritting his teeth, despite feeling uneasy, Mo Xiao entered the passage. The passage was long, much longer than the ck Ant¡¯s nest. Mo Xiao walked for a full hour before he could barely see the end. Mo Xiao walked for a full hour before barely seeing the end. At the end of the passage was still a vast space, a huge cavern that resembled a pce. The ground around him was piled with all sorts of gold, silver, gems, and weapons and equipment. But Mo Xiao was in no mood to care about these things. Because at the center of these treasures, there was a gigantic monster coiled up. As Mo Xiao entered, the monster¡¯s eyes,rger than Mo Xiao¡¯s whole body, slowly opened. [Dragonite] Information: ??? Introduction: One of the Ancient Divine Beasts. ¡°I thought that the person who passed the trial would be an extremely powerful existence. 1 didn¡¯t expect him to be so weak.¡± Dragonite said lightly, looking at Mo Xiao, who was like an ant in his eyes. ¡°Hello¡­ Your Excellency.¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s heart tightened, and he hurriedly spoke in thenguage of dragons. ¡°Hehe, thenguage of the Western Dragon n? You little brat, are you not a citizen of my Dragon Kingdom?¡± Dragonite¡¯s tone suddenly changed. His massive dragon wings unfurled, and a violent aura instantly swept through the entire cave. [-4799!] In an instant, a bright red number shed above Mo Xiao¡¯s head. He had only a drop of blood left. ¡°Senior Dragonite, please calm down! 1 am a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom!¡± Mo Xiao quickly exined, ¡°I mistook you for those lizards from the Western region, so I used thenguage of the Dragon n.¡± ¡°A small punishment. 1 hope you won¡¯t make the same mistake again,¡± Dragonite said. He calmly retracted his imposing aura and lowered himself back to the ground. Watching the capricious behavior of Dragonite, Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment and asked, ¡°Senior Dragonite, did you arrange this trial?¡± ¡°It could be said so, or it could be said otherwise,¡± Dragonite replied nonchntly, ¡°Fortunately, you are from my Dragon Kingdom. If you were from an aliennd, it would have truly been a waste of our efforts.¡± ¡°What efforts?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. Dragonite raised an eyelid and looked at Mo Xiao calmly, saying, ¡°Your strength is too weak, and there are some things I can¡¯t tell you yet. When you grow stronger, I will naturally tell you.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Although Mo Xiao wanted to retort, he knew he was not even at level 20 yet. Even if his skills were overpowered, he couldn¡¯t be considered a strong yer. ¡°Um¡­ Senior Dragonite, may 1 touch you?¡± Dragonite, who had closed his eyes to prepare the trial reward for Mo Xiao, was slightly taken aback. He raised an eyelid and nced at Mo Xiao, a strange glint shing in his eyes. ¡°No wonder you were able toe here. So, the power is with you.¡± ¡°Very well, I¡¯ll lend you a helping hand.¡± Before Mo Xiao could understand what Ying Long meant, Before Mo Xiao could fully understand the meaning behind Dragonite¡¯s words, the dragon opened his enormous mouth and swallowed him whole. [Dragonite made physical contact with you and granted you the special ability: Earth Dominion!] ¡°Don¡¯t disappoint us!¡± As thest voice echoed in Mo Xiao¡¯s mind, he immediately lost consciousness. Twelve hourster. Mo Xiao groggily opened his eyes. ¡°How did I¡­ fall asleep again?¡± [Ding, congrattions onpleting the trial! Level up by five levels!] [Ding, congrattions onpleting the trial! You have obtained special equipment, Dragonite Jade!] [Ding, congrattions onpleting the trial! The trial space has been bound to you. It will reopen when you reach level 60!] [Ding, congrattions onpleting the trial! You have received specialpensation! Full equipment repair! All cooldowns reset!] [Ding, congrattions onpleting the trial! You have received a special reward! Dragonite¡¯s Fang!] As soon as Mo Xiao regained consciousness, a series of messages bombarded his mind. ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao stood there in a daze for a while before reacting. ¡°Just five levels up¡­ How stingy! They didn¡¯t even give a treasure chest¡­¡± ¡°But what are all these things?¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself and directly essed the rewards. [Dragonite Jade: A special jade pendant that can contain the power of a divine beast. Cannot be stolen, dropped, or traded. Current power: Dragonite.] [Dragonite Jade] Quality: Rainbow Strength +100 Dragonite¡¯s Aura: Increases attack and defense by 20% when you are at full health. Dragonite¡¯s Blessing: When you die, Dragonite¡¯s power will be triggered to resurrect you. Cooldown: 24.0 hours. Divine Beast Summoning: Summons the power of Dragonite, bestowing you with powerful earth attribute strength. At the moment of summoning, Dragonite¡¯s phantom will sweep all nearby hostile targets, dealing damage equal to the caster¡¯s strength * 1000. Cooldown: 240 hours. Auspicious Omen: Dragonite¡¯s most mysterious power. The bearer of the Dragonite Jade will always be enveloped in auspicious omens. ¡°Wow! I can summon a divine beast?! So powerful!¡± Although he didn¡¯t know what auspicious omen meant, just the resurrection ability alone was already incredible! This wasn¡¯t some game! If he could really resurrect, even once every 10 days would be more than enough! ¡°Can I¡­ rub this thing?¡± In the midst of his excitement, a different thought suddenly crossed Mo Xiao¡¯s mind. Although he wasn¡¯t sure if rainbow was the highest quality, what if this thing could be rubbed for some benefit? That would be amazing!? Thinking about it, Mo Xiao carefully rubbed the Dragonite Jade. [You rubbed the Dragonite Jade, and it underwent a slight change.] Seeing this, Mo Xiao quickly opened the equipment information. After carefully examining it, he furrowed his brows. There seemed to be no visible changes in the information. Just as Mo Xiao was puzzled, apletely new line appeared at the bottom. [Dragon Seeking Technique: When activated, the Dragonite Jade will indicate a direction, guiding the owner towards it. What will be at that location and what will appear, remains unknown.] ¡°Dragon Seeking Technique? This name¡­ Could it be rted to tomb-raiding?!¡± Chapter 45 - 45: Your Attack Is Too Low Chapter 45: Your Attack Is Too Low Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios The Dragon Seeking Technique had no cooldown and no consumption, but after Mo Xiao used it, there was no response at all. Obviously, there was nothing nearby. ¡°Never mind, let¡¯s look at something else.¡± [Dragon¡¯s Tooth: A tooth from the Dragon, possessing the world¡¯s most unique power and coveted by cksmiths as a divine object! Using this item during forging will improve the quality of the forged item by two levels and grant special effects that increase with the user¡¯s level! The forging sess rate is also 100%!] ¡°!!!¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened instantly. No wonder they called it a divine object coveted by cksmiths. Whether it was improving the quality by two levels or the 100% sess rate, these were incredibly tempting conditions! If used to forge artifacts, it would be top-tier material! At this moment, Mo Xiao thought of something else. He had the blueprint for the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre. This item must be used to forge the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre! After all, the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre was the most suitable equipment for solo yers! [You touched the Dragon¡¯s Tooth, and it underwent a peculiar change!] It had to be said that in Mo Xiao¡¯s hands, this divine-level material was at its best. After all, this skill of touching it once was truly unique. Mo Xiao looked at the changed Dragon¡¯s Tooth, and his expression instantly became ecstatic. This item had only one slight change, simr to the Divine Beast Jade, but this one additional effect was extremely powerful. It changed the one-time use item into a two-time use item. Three hourster. In the instance dungeon hall of Yicheng Base City. ¡°I told you! When Mo Xiaoes back, Yicheng Base City will definitely hold your Tu family ountable! Now, please leave the instance hall!¡± Fang Chang¡¯s face was icy as he looked at Tu Feiding in front of him. He wished he could just p him to death. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense! Mo Xiao clearly ended the battle yesterday! You guys must have sent him a message to make him stay inside the instance!! Evading investigation!! City Lord Fang, do you know you¡¯re breaking thew?¡± Tu Feiding sneered. ¡°I¡¯ll say it again, 1 didn¡¯t do anything! Do you really think I¡¯m afraid of your Tu family?!¡± Fang Chang directly pped the table to pieces and red at Tu Feiding fiercely. Tu Feiding smirked at this sight. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m scared of you? I grew up being bullied! Dare to hit me? If you dare to act, I can make you step down as the city lord in minutes! Don¡¯t forget, the inspection team is still here!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, City Lord Fang, but it concerns a frontline hero. We can¡¯t just let it go like this.¡± The two inspectors said calmly, ¡°Instances are crucial to every city, and we can wait for him toe out. ¡°But before that, we need to make sure you didn¡¯t pass a message to Mo Xiao.¡± Upon hearing this, Fang Chang¡¯s expression changed. It was evident that these two inspectors were in cahoots with the Tu family, and whether they had sent a message or not was pointless. ¡°Hehe, either hand that kid over now, or ept the investigation, or I¡¯ll have this instance canceled!¡± Tu Feiding said arrogantly. Just as Tu Feiding was being arrogant, a ray of light suddenly appeared on the door of the ck Ant Nest instance beside them. Due to Mo Xiao¡¯s incident, this instance had been temporarily closed, and no one was supposed to activate it. It should not have been running. However, it suddenly lit up with a glow¡­ As everyone¡¯s gaze turned towards the door, a familiar figure walked out of the ck Ant Nest instance directly. ¡°Phew¡­ Finally, I¡¯m out. It nearly exhausted me!¡± Mo Xiao stepped out of the instance and felt like lying down on the ground. After checking the trial rewards, Mo Xiao wanted to leave, but there was still only one path. It took him a full three hours to reach the teleportation array and teleport himself out. ¡°Mo Xiao?!¡± The moment Mo Xiao appeared, everyone¡¯s eyes were on him. ¡°Hmm? Who called me?¡± Mo Xiao struggled to lift his head and found several familiar figures. ¡°City Lord? Hall Master Jiang, why are you both here?¡± Mo Xiao looked puzzled as he nced at the two. Before the two could approach, Tu Feiding¡¯s eyes were instantly filled with killing intent as he charged towards Mo Xiao. ¡°You little brat! You finally came out! Watch me kill you!!!¡± Tu Feiding¡¯s evil intentions surged, and without a word, he directly raised his staff and smashed it towards Mo Xiao. Looking at the scepter whistling towards him, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t even think about it and lightly raised the Lord¡¯s sword in his hand. Tu Feiding was instantly sent flying. Three three-digit damage values of different colors appeared above his head, almost killing him instantly. ¡°Isn¡¯t your attack a bit too low? Three times the rebound is only this much damage.¡± Mo Xiao nced at Tu Feiding and said, ¡°But why did you attack me? Do I know you?¡± ¡°Patrol Team! Is the Patrol Team here!!!¡± Tu Feiding sat on the ground with a terrified expression. He had thought that Mo Xiao had only been able to kill him because of his sneak attack, but he hadn¡¯t expected that even though he had attacked first, he still wasn¡¯t his opponent. Seeing this, the two patrol team members quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Mo Xiao, ¡°Mo Xiao, you are suspected of maliciously killing a battlefield hero, please cooperate with our investigation.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was stunned: ¡°Me? Killing a battlefield hero? Malicious? Are you kidding me? Don¡¯t tell me this fatty is a battlefield hero, 1 won¡¯t believe you.¡± Perhaps it was because he had been alone for too long, but Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth was also broken today. ¡°That¡¯s right, he is a battlefield hero, may 1 ask if you killed him some time ago?¡± The two didn¡¯t care what Mo Xiao said and directly asked. ¡°Who is he?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Tu Feiding for a long time but still couldn¡¯t recognize who this guy was. Obviously, Mo Xiao had long forgotten about such an insignificant idiot. ¡°F*ck! I¡¯m Tu Feiding!¡± Hearing this, Tu Feiding was so angry that his nose was crooked as he roared angrily. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully, ¡°I was only acting in self-defense, who knew he was such a noob.¡± As soon as Mo Xiao said this, two golden rays of light instantly wrapped around Mo Xiao. ¡°Yes?¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao frowned, and he quickly wielded his Lord¡¯s Longsword twice. The two golden lights turned 180 degrees and entangled the two enforcers instead. ¡°What are you doing? He¡¯s just a suspect, and you can¡¯t prove he killed anyone! Why arrest him directly?!¡± Jiang Shan and Fang Chang quickly rushed over and protected Mo Xiao. Seeing this, Mo Xiao remained calm and said, ¡°Oh, I killed this Tu Feiding.¡± ¡°Hahaha! He admitted it! Inspection team, arrest him! Avenge me!!!¡± Tu Feiding was excited when he saw this and shouted. ¡°Making a fuss. If 1 can kill you once, I can kill you a second time! Do you really think 1 fear the inspection team?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression turned cold as the Necromancer¡¯s Staff instantly appeared, emitting an extremely dangerous aura with a pitch-ck me at its tip.. Chapter 46 - 46: He Was the First to Make a Move Chapter 46: He Was the First to Make a Move Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios The ck mes appeared. The temperature in the entire instance dungeon hall rose significantly. ¡°Mo Xiao! What are you doing!¡± ¡°How dare you! Stop!¡± ¡°Kid! Are you crazy?!¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, the people present immediately panicked. They quickly reprimanded him and tried to stop him. The members of the inspection team might not know the power of Moxiao¡¯s ck mes, but Jiang Shan was well aware of its strength. Even if they had magic resistance, if the instant death effect was triggered, the consequences would be unclear. ¡°Young man, let¡¯s talk things out! There¡¯s no need to resort to violence!¡± Jiang Shan directly grabbed Moxiao¡¯s arm and said sternly, ¡°They are all from the Hero Hall of Tianyuan Battlefield. It¡¯s better not to start conflicts.¡± Hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s words, Mo Xiao stared at him for a while before deactivating the skill. After pulling his arm out of Jiang Shan¡¯s grip, he looked at Tu Feiding again and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take responsibility for my own actions. I was the one who killed Tu Feiding. ¡°If you want to investigate, go ahead and do it thoroughly. If I can kill him once, I can kill him a second time. Let¡¯s see if he can resurrect then.¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s tone was icy cold. ¡°The members of the Hero Hall¡¯s inspection team are here, and you still dare to speak so arrogantly! Aren¡¯t you afraid of being arrested on the spot!¡± Tu Feiding roared angrily. Hearing this, Mo Xiao sneered, ¡°Do as you wish. I have no family or friends, so I¡¯m not afraid of you!¡± ¡°If you dare to attack me indiscriminately, then you¡¯ll bear the consequences.¡± ¡°Bold! How dare you disrespect the Hero Hall like this! Both of you, what are you waiting for? Arrest him for me!¡± Hearing Tu Feiding¡¯s almost explicit order, the two members of the inspection team sighed almost imperceptibly, and then stepped forward, saying, ¡°You are disrespecting the Hero Hall and obstructing official duties. Now¡­¡± ¡°Both of you!¡± Just as they were about to take action again, Fang Chang stepped forward, ¡°The child doesn¡¯t know any better. He just changed jobs yesterday and has no idea about the Hero Hall and the inspection team. Besides, he¡¯s still young, so it¡¯s natural for him to act impulsively. Let me apologize on his behalf, and I hope you can forgive him.¡± ¡öI H Hearing this, the two stopped their actions immediately. It was evident that if it wasn¡¯t for Tu Feiding¡¯s instigation, they wouldn¡¯t have taken this matter seriously. Seeing the situation ease up, Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief and continued, ¡°This ce is considered my territory. For my sake, let¡¯s not dwell on this matter. ¡°Let¡¯s get to the point. Investigate however you need to. If it¡¯s really my student¡¯s fault, I won¡¯t cover for him.¡± ¡°Whether you cover for him or not is none of my damn business! Who do you think you are? I¡¯m just here to catch Mo Xiao!¡± Tu Feiding arrogantly dered. ¡°Today, not only am I going to take the Orange-tier weapon on him, but I¡¯ll also take his life! My resurrection is not for free! I¡¯m a hero who fought on the battlefield! Why should he be allowed to kill me without rhyme or reason! ¡°Why are you two still standing here?! Hurry up and arrest him for me! 1 didn¡¯t ask you to investigate! I asked you to avenge me!¡± Just as the argument continued, the angry voice of Jiang He suddenly sounded not far away. ¡°Come over here! If it weren¡¯t for you, we wouldn¡¯t have these troublesome issues!¡± ¡°All, Miss Jiang, please be gentle¡­¡± With a cry of pain, Su Wei was thrown in front of everyone by Jiang He. ¡°Jiang He? What are you doing here? Hurry up and bring your ssmates to level up! We have something important to discuss.¡± When Jiang Shan saw Jiang He suddenly appear, he quickly stepped forward and berated him. ¡°Uncle! I¡¯m here for something very important! It concerns Moxiao¡¯s innocence!¡± Jiang He said, just about to find the members of the inspection team, but when she turned her head, she saw Mo Xiao¡¯s cold expression. His face immediately lit up, ¡°Mo Xiao! You¡¯re out!¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Moxiao nodded lightly in response to her words but didn¡¯t say anything. His gaze directly fell on Su Wei. Seeing this, Jiang He stopped making small talk and immediately kicked Su Wei¡¯s butt. ¡°Quick, confess! Tell us everything you¡¯ve done!¡± ¡°Ouch! Stop hitting, I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk¡­¡± Su Wei cried with a mournful face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone! It¡¯s all my fault. I spent¡­¡± Before Su Wei could finish his sentence, a dazzling lightning bolt suddenly shot out from Tu Feiding¡¯s direction, heading straight for Su Wei. H | ii This sudden scene startled all the big shots, and they were about to intervene, but Mo Xiao beat them to it. He raised his Lord¡¯s Longsword fiercely, and the originally silver-white lightning instantly bounced back. It knocked Tu Feiding to the ground with only a quarter of his HP left. Before anyone could say anything, a dark me suddenly erupted on Tu Feiding. -3000! As arge number shed above Tu Feiding¡¯s head, hisst quarter of health was emptied in an instant. [You have killed Tu Feiding, gaining 1 million gold coins! Obtained skill book ¡®Thunder Staff Technique¡¯.] ¡°!!!¡± As Tu Feiding fell to the ground, everyone was stunned. The two members of the inspection team¡¯s expressions instantly became serious. ¡°You have quite the nerve, daring to kill someone right in front of us!¡± one of the inspection team members said solemnly. Hearing this, Mo Xiao calmly put away his equipment and said, ¡°He attacked first, and I only acted to save someone and punish evil. Is that also considered my fault?¡± ¡°Even if you don¡¯t make a move, we can still save him! Moreover, what right do you have to punish sinners!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao also sneered, ¡°Hehe, in other words, since he wants to kill us, we can only run but not counterattack? What kind of logic is that!¡± ¡°We¡¯re not saying you can¡¯t retaliate, but you can¡¯t just kill him! What¡¯s the difference between you and him if you do that?¡± Mo Xiao nced at the two and said directly, ¡°I killed to save someone; he killed to erase evidence of his crimes. That¡¯s the biggest difference.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t try to argue! Killing someonees with consequences!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Mo Xiao coldly snorted, and his flying sword, longbow, and Necromancer¡¯s Staff appeared simultaneously. ¡°Do you really think I¡¯m afraid of you?!¡± Just as the tension escted, a white light suddenly shed. In the next moment, a beautiful woman in a ck robe appeared directly in front of Mo Xiao. ¡°Oh my! Little Mo Xiao, you finally came out of the special space!¡± As soon as she appeared, the woman looked excitedly at Mo Xiao. Looking at the woman who suddenly appeared, everyone present was stunned. ¡°Su¡­ Su Jin¡¯er?¡± Moxiao blurted out subconsciously. ¡°Hehe, we meet again, but¡­ what are you guys doing?¡± Su Jin¡¯er then noticed that the atmosphere around her seemed strange. ¡°Huh? This outfit, is it from the Hero Hall¡¯s inspection team?¡± ¡°!!!¡± As soon as the two members of the inspection team saw Su Jin¡¯er, they immediately lowered their heads and respectfully bowed. ¡°Inspection Officer 123, greetings to the War General!¡± Chapter 47 - 47: The Youngest Three-Star War General Chapter 47: The Youngest Three-Star War General Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°I¡¯ve said it so many times! Don¡¯t call me War General. This title is too ugly!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said irritably. The Tianyuan battlefield was the first frontline for humans to resist monsters. Hunting monsters there earned military merits. When the military merits reached a certain level, one would receive corresponding titles. These titles were: Trainee Warrior, Warrior, Advanced Warrior, War General, Advanced War General, Star-ranked War General, and the highest, War God. The Star-ranked War General was further divided into one to five stars. And Su Jin¡¯er was the youngest three-star War General. Though she had just reached the third level, her kills of monsters with her powerful necromancy skills far exceeded what many people could achieve in a lifetime. ¡°War General?¡± Mo Xiao looked puzzled at Su Jin¡¯er, clearly unfamiliar with this term. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s confusion, Su Jin¡¯er sighed helplessly and exined the system of military merits and titles on the Tianyuan battlefield. ¡°That¡¯s roughly the meaning. 1 am currently at the level of a three-star War General, which should be considered pretty good,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said casually. ¡°Greetings, Miss Su.¡± At this moment, Fang Chang and Jiang Shan also walked over to Su Jin¡¯er and respectfully saluted, ¡°You¡¯re more than just pretty good, it¡¯s quite extraordinary. You¡¯ve just reached the third level, while both I and Old Fang are at level 80 and only one-star War Generals.¡± ¡°Well, professions and skills can make a difference-¡± Su Jin¡¯er didn¡¯t say much to the two of them and instead walked over to Mo Xiao¡¯s side, examining his equipment with admiration, ¡°Hmm! This equipment looks really good on you! But¡­ why do 1 feel like it¡¯s a bit different from before?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyelids twitched, and he quickly stepped back two steps, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± ¡°Nothing, just came to see you. But it seems like you¡¯ve encountered some trouble?¡± Su Jin¡¯er touched her chin and said, ¡°Did you make some mistake?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. 1 just killed the same person twice.¡± As Mo Xiao said this, Su Jin¡¯er was taken aback, ¡°Killed twice? Can they resurrect? Are they from the Hero¡¯s Hall?¡± Seeing the situation, Fang Chang coughed lightly and quickly exined, ¡°Ahem, Miss Su, the situation is like this¡­¡± Soon, Fang Chang exined the conflict between Mo Xiao and Tu Feiding, including the issue with Su Wei. ¡°I see. Although Mo Xiao also has some minor problems, it ultimately boils down to Su Wei and Tu Feiding,¡± Su Jin¡¯er nodded thoughtfully and then looked directly at the two members of the inspection team, ¡°Both of you, for the sake of my face, let¡¯s consider this matter settled, alright?¡± ¡°If the Tu family asks about it, just say that 1, Su Jin¡¯er, protected him.¡± Before the two could reply, Mo Xiao spoke up directly, ¡°No need. Let theme and find me directly.¡± ¡°Are you crazy!¡± Hearing this, Jiang Shan quickly said, ¡°That¡¯s the Tu family! They can control an entire base city, and even the Flero¡¯s Hall has to give them considerable authority! Don¡¯t you want to have a future?¡± ¡°The Tu family is just a powerful family, but our Dragon Kingdom is not something they can dictate,¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled, ¡°Isn¡¯t that right, Senior Brother?¡± As Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words fell, a man dressed in heavy armor appeared beside her as if he had walked out of thin air. ¡°So, this boy is the promising talent you mentioned?¡± The man looked at Mo Xiao with a calm expression. Su Jin¡¯er pouted and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t he good? He dared to speak harshly against the Tu family, you know!¡± ¡°Mediocre,¡± the man in heavy armor remained indifferent. ¡°You better watch your tone! Be careful, or I¡¯ll go tell my Sister-nw!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said irritably. The man¡¯s body slightly stiffened upon hearing this, ¡°Ahem¡­ not bad, but not enough. Huh? He¡¯s Level 19? Didn¡¯t you say he just changed professions yesterday?¡± What?! As soon as the man said this, everyone present looked at Mo Xiao in shock. Clearly, they hadn¡¯t noticed Mo Xiao¡¯s level change before. Noticing the gazes on him, Mo Xiao spoke directly, ¡°I identally entered a special space and gained several levels in one go.¡± ¡°I told you he¡¯s a good talent! Can you reach Level 19 to 25 in just one day after changing professions?¡± Su Jin¡¯er said boastfully. The man in heavy armor fell silent for a moment, ¡°It seems necessary to inform the master.¡± ¡°Mo Xiao, right? I¡¯m Zhang Kai. I have the college entrance examination in two months. If you can reach Level 25 before the exam and be the national top scorer in the exam, I will try to persuade my master to take you as his disciple. Even if he doesn¡¯t, I will find a senior at the same level as my master to take you as an apprentice.¡± Zhang Kai said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t think reaching Level 19 to 25 is easy. The experience required for this is probably more than what you needed from Level 1 to 19. Work hard, since Jin¡¯er believes in you, strive to be our junior! ¡°Also, thank you for saving my junior sister. Consider this a token of appreciation from me.¡± After speaking, Zhang Kai patted Mo Xiao¡¯s shoulder heavily and stepped back behind Su Jin¡¯er, not saying anything more. [Zhang Kai patted you heavily, and the talent ¡®Mountains-Toppling Force¡¯ has been copied!] [Mountains-Toppling Force: S-rank talent, +50 Strength, each level-up grants an additional five points of Strength, each point of Strength will be converted into two points of Attack Power!] [You have obtained Skill Book: Lightning sh (Purple)] Seeing the purple color, Mo Xiao, who was excited about the S-rank talent, became even more excited. Purple! What did a purple skill book mean to Mo Xiao?! This meant that this was a red skill! This was a top-notch red skill! Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao¡¯s unmoving expression and chuckled, ¡°Don¡¯t get too excited. It¡¯s just a purple skill book, nothing special for him, and he probably can¡¯t use it anyway.¡± ¡°Hey¡­ Don¡¯t make me sound so incapable.¡± Zhang Kai said with a helpless expression upon hearing this. Just as Mo Xiao was chatting with the two, Jiang Shan cautiously approached Jiang He, ¡°My dear niece, did you manage to win this boy over? Don¡¯t let Su Jin¡¯er steal him away. Su Jin¡¯er is the goddess of the Tianyuan battlefield, you know!¡± Hearing this, Jiang He bit her lip and didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. Half an hourter, after seeing everyone off, Mo Xiao returned home, using fatigue as an excuse. Compared to socializing, Mo Xiao preferred being alone. Moreover, there was still the most anticipated part of patting skills! Excitedly, Mo Xiao took out the skill book and patted it heavily. [You patted the skill book Lightning sh and it evolved into Broken Shadow!] [You patted the skill book Broken Shadow and it evolved into Shadowless!] Chapter 48 - 48: Main City Token?

It consumes 5 points of mana per second and canst indefinitely, with the ability to interrupt at will. If interrupted for the reasons mentioned above, it cannot be used again for thirty seconds.] ¡°10 times movement speed and invisibility?!¡± Seeing Shadowless¡¯ skill information, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened instantly. Not to mention the tenfold increase in movement speed, just the ability to remain indefinitely invisible was already incredible! Moreover, he could interrupt the skill at will, which practically meant there was no cooldown. As for attacking, he could simply deactivate invisibility beforeunching an attack, and it wouldn¡¯t affect him at all! ¡°Shadowless and Strength to Rip Mountains¡­ Just the gains from these two skills areparable to my trial this time!¡± After learning the skill book for Shadowless, Mo Xiao seemed to have thought of something and directly opened his backpack. A Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest was taken out by Mo Xiao from his backpack. Although Mo Xiao didn¡¯t kill the Guardian, he looted everything from it. Besides the Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest, there were also a bunch of misceneous items. Among them was the Guardian¡¯s Set that Mo Xiao was most curious about. ¡°The Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest will be the Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest after rubbing against it¡­ Then how will the Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest level up?¡± [You rubbed the Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest. The Guardian¡¯s Treasure Chest has been upgraded to a mysterious treasure chest.] ¡°This name is really getting more and more casual¡­¡± [You have opened the Mysterious Treasure Chest and obtained a special item, the Main City Token.] ¡°Main City Token? What¡¯s this?¡± [Main City Token: A special token that seems to be able to trigger some kind of mission?] ¡°Do you mind exining a little more clearly! Such a powerful chest, and you give me this thing?!¡± Looking at this exnation, Mo Xiao almost gnashed his teeth. After all, what he had obtained from the treasure chest was the Guardian¡¯s heavy sword! Although he had found another one now, it was still a top-grade equipment! Mo Xiao helplessly sighed and took out the Guardian¡¯s Set from his bag. [You rubbed the Guardian¡¯s Heavy Sword and it was upgraded to a Pure Yang Heavy Sword.] [You rubbed the Guardian¡¯s Magic Armor and it was upgraded to Pure Yang Magic Armor.] [You rubbed the Guardian¡¯s Leg Armor and it was upgraded to Pure Yang Leg Armor.] [You rubbed the Guardian¡¯s Face Armor and it was upgraded to a Pure Yang Face Armor.] [You rubbed the Pure Yang Heavy Sword and it was upgraded to the Four Symbols Heavy Sword.] [You rubbed the Pure Yang Magic Armor and it was upgraded to the Four Symbols Sacred Armor.] [You rubbed the Pure Yang Leg Armor and it was upgraded to the Four Symbols Leg Armor.] [You rubbed the Pure Yang Face Armor and it was upgraded to the Four Symbols Face Armor.] ¡°Hehehe, rubbing them is really enjoyable- A full set of red equipment! I¡¯m going to be invincible!¡± At the same time, outside the dungeon hall. ¡°Oh my, what¡¯s the matter with Little Jiang He! That Su Jin¡¯er is a three-star war general! Moreover, she¡¯s the disciple of the War God. I wanted to make friends with her! Why did you drag me out like this?¡± Jiang Shan looked at Jiang He, who pulled him out, with a helpless expression, ¡°Even if you¡¯re angry, you shouldn¡¯t vent it on your uncle.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not angry!¡± Jiang He red fiercely at Jiang Shan and continued, ¡°Mo Xiao¡¯s matter hasn¡¯t been resolved yet! Although Su Jin¡¯er can handle the issue with the Hero Hall, we still have to deal with our base city¡¯s matters ourselves.¡± Hearing this, Jiang Shan furrowed his brows, ¡°What else is there? Didn¡¯t we already solve everything inside?¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t just resolve it! Can we just ignore this guy?¡± Jiang He said and kicked Su Wei directly in front of Jiang Shan. ¡°Ouch! My Miss Jiang! Can¡¯t you be gentler? Another kick, and my health bar would be empty!¡± Su Wei cried out in pain as he copsed on the ground, unable to dodge the attack. Jiang Shan squinted slightly as he looked at Su Wei, ¡°Hiring someone tomit murder is indeed an unforgivable crime.¡± ¡°!!!¡± Upon hearing this usation, Su Wei trembled all over and quickly said, ¡°I didn¡¯t! 1 just hired people to rob Mo Xiao of his weapon! I never asked them to kill Mo Xiao!¡± Though hiring someone tomit robbery was also a crime, it was still less severe than murder. ¡°It seems you¡¯re confessing,¡± Jiang Shan raised an eyebrow and said with a calm demeanor. H j H Jiang Shan didn¡¯t bother with him and continued, ¡°Alright, the Su Family is also a well-respected family in our base city, so I won¡¯t meddle further.¡± ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Before Jiang He could speak, Jiang Shan interrupted her again, ¡°You should go directly to find Mo Xiao. It¡¯s best to find a way to make him forgive you. If he¡¯s unwilling to forgive¡­ ¡°Your Su family might be the first aristocratic family in our base city to be expelled!¡± ¡°!!!¡± After saying that, Jiang Shan turned his head and nced at Su Wei before saying, ¡°Don¡¯t ask. Miss Su, our Jiang Family can¡¯t afford to offend her either. Don¡¯t forget that Mo Xiao is going to be her junior brother. Let me warn you, Miss Su¡¯s master¡¯s surname is Yao.¡± With that, Jiang Shan turned into an afterimage and disappeared, leaving Jiang He and Su Wei standing there in a daze. ¡°Surname Yao?¡± Su Wei was puzzled, trying to figure out the significance of this surname, but he couldn¡¯t react for a while. Jiang He looked at Su Wei and said directly, ¡°One of the Three War Gods in the Dragon Kingdom, the Magic God Yao Shi¡¯er. You better take care of yourself¡­¡± Hearing Jiang He¡¯s words, Su Wei froze like a statue,pletely lost in thought. He didn¡¯t even notice when Jiang He left him behind. At this moment, in the dungeon hall. Su Jin¡¯er was at the entrance of the ck Ant Nest¡¯s instance, carefully feeling her way around. ¡°Hmm, there¡¯s a hidden space in this low-level instance. It seems I was too careless in the past when I entered instances, always rushing toe out and start the next one.¡± ¡°Nowadays, this world has changed so much. No one knows what might appear where. This Mo Xiao guy is just lucky,¡± City Lord Fang smiled and agreed. Su Jin¡¯er looked at him with a meaningful gaze and said, ¡°Indeed, Little Mo Xiao is quite extraordinary-¡± ¡°Does Miss Su have a good rtionship with Mo Xiao?¡± Fang Chang asked cautiously. After pondering for a moment, Su Jin¡¯er replied, ¡°Our rtionship is just ordinary. After all, we haven¡¯t known each other for long¡­¡± ¡°Then why did youe here specifically to help him?¡± Fang Chang asked curiously. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what my Senior Brother said just now?¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled slightly, ¡°Although we haven¡¯t known each other for long, but¡­ ¡°He¡¯s my lifesaver, after all-¡° Chapter 49 - 49: Terrifying Four Symbols Set!

  • Looking at the attributes in front of him, Mo Xiao waspletely dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. These attributes and skills were simply too exaggerated! Is this what they call Red equipment?! No wonder they say Red equipment is priceless. This is just a level 25 set, and its already so powerful! What if 1 level up in the future? How strong will it be?! Currently, Mo Xiao¡¯s level was 19. ording to the skill description, the equipment would level up and improve along with the user¡¯s level. Considering his current level and the skills from being a solo yer, it meant that the equipment would provide attributes ten levels ahead of his own. Thinking of this, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he put on the set. As the equipment was equipped, a dazzling and magnificent light appeared on the armor. This was the unique light of Red-tier equipment. It was very dazzling. ¡°It hasn¡¯t leveled up. It seems that it will level up with me after I reach level 26,¡± Mo Xiao observed the equipment¡¯s attributes. Obviously, they hadn¡¯t changed due to his usage. ¡°Then let¡¯s try this¡­¡± Mo Xiao said as he thought. Suddenly, a burst of colorful light surged around him. In no time, the Four Symbols Set on Mo Xiao¡¯s body disappeared, returning to the appearance of the previous Death Spirit Robe from before. However, all the attributes still belonged to the Four Symbols Set. Just the appearance had changed. ¡°This skill is really useful.¡± Mo Xiao said, satisfied with a smile, looking at his equipped items. Just then, a knocking sound suddenly came from the door. ¡°Yes?¡± Hearing the knock on the door, Mo Xiao frowned slightly. ording to the original host¡¯s memories, he had been living here alone since his parents passed away. Besides food deliveries and packages, no one hade to visit him. ¡°Who is it?¡± Mo Xiao asked coldly. ¡°Brother Xiao, it¡¯s me! Can you open the door?¡± Su Wei¡¯s obsequious voice slowly sounded from outside the door. Mo Xiao frowned, ¡°Su Wei? What are you doing here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to apologize to you. Can you please open the door?¡± Su Wei continued to ask. Hearing Su Wei¡¯s words, Mo Xiao pondered for a moment before slowly opening the door. Before Su Wei could react, a long sword was pressed against his neck. ¡°You should know my attack power. Killing you only takes one strike. Speak, what are you here for?¡± Seeing the sword at his neck, Su Wei, who already had an unpleasant expression, became even more panicked. Cold sweat instantly covered his back. ¡°Xiao, Brother Xiao! Don¡¯t be agitated¡­ I¡¯m here to apologize¡­¡± Su Wei said with a trembling voice. Hearing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°You? Apologize? Why am I finding it so hard to believe?¡± ¡°It was my mistake this time. I¡¯ve caused you so much trouble! Please forgive me! As long as you forgive me, I¡¯ll do whatever you want!¡± Su Wei said, biting his teeth and kneeling in front of Mo Xiao, ¡°As long as you forgive me and spare my life, 1¡¯11 do anything for you!¡±¡± ¡°In this kind of situation, with your personality, shouldn¡¯t you directly look for your family? Or run away or something? You knew that I would kill someone, yet you still dared to send yourself up?¡± Mo Xiao put his sword behind his back and asked with a cold expression. Su Wei swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°I was wrong this time. Even if 1 go home, my family will punish me. I can only ask you to forgive me.¡± ¡°Even being a cow or horse?¡± Mo Xiao asked with a cold expression. Hearing this, Su Wei¡¯s body trembled slightly, then he replied, ¡°Yes!¡± H 11 Looking at the trembling Su Wei kneeling on the ground, Mo Xiao slowly turned around, ¡°Seeing that we were once ssmates, I will temporarily spare your life¡­¡± ¡°Thank you, Brother Xiao! Thank you, Brother Xiao!¡± Hearing this, Su Wei immediately raised his head in ecstasy. ¡°Don¡¯t be happy, and don¡¯t thank me.¡± Mo Xiao faintly said, ¡°Since you sent people to steal my things and hunt me down, I will return the favor. From today onwards, I will personally hunt you down. Don¡¯t ever appear in front of me. You know, I only need to kill you once.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°¡­Ready to run? Once I turn around, the hunt begins¡­¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°!!!¡¯. At those words, Su Wei¡¯s pupils contracted sharply. He was just about to turn around and run when a tremendous force struck him heavily, nearly reducing his health to zero. His arm was also directly severed. Despite this, Su Wei didn¡¯t dare to stop for a moment. Gritting his teeth, he ran out of the cheap rental room. ¡°Looks like this move has ssh damage too..¡± Chapter 50 - 50: Five Million Gold Coins?! Chapter 50: Five Million Gold Coins?! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios In the Jiangnan Base City of the Dragon Kingdom on the Blue Star. In the main hall of the Tu family. ¡°The college entrance examination is about to begin, and I¡¯ve heard that the higher-ups are attaching great importance to this year¡¯s exam.¡± The head of the Tu family took a sip of tea and casually looked at the people around him. ¡°Second Brother, Third Brother, your kids are taking the college entrance exam this year, right?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, big brother. With the resources of our Tu family, there should be no problem!¡± The second son of the Tu family said calmly. ¡°That¡¯s right! Big brother, just rx! We¡¯ve taken care of all the connections. Even if our kids are not that outstanding, they can still get into advanced academies!¡± Upon hearing their words, the head of the Tu family frowned, ¡°Do you two just sit idle at home all day? Haven¡¯t you heard any rumors?¡± ¡°Why so serious, big brother? It¡¯s just the college entrance exam. It happens every year. It¡¯s just that the higher-ups are paying more attention this year. Nothing different.¡± The second son of the Tu family remainedposed. The third son of the Tu family nodded repeatedly, ¡°Exactly! Second brother is right!¡± ¡°This year¡¯s college entrance exam will be personally observed by the War God. I heard he will select one person directly from the students as his disciple.¡± The head of the Tu family couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk more with them and directly revealed the news he had received. What?! Upon hearing this, the two brothers couldn¡¯t sit still and immediately stood up from their seats. Just as they were about to continue discussing, a figure rushed into the main hall. ¡°Master! Something¡¯s happened!!!¡± ¡°You are the one causing amotion! What happened? Speak properly!¡± The head of the Tu family red at the person with great displeasure. ¡°Young Master Feiding¡­ he¡¯s dead¡­¡± Two hourster, in Yicheng City Base City. Outside the City Lord¡¯s residence, Jiang Shan was lying leisurely on the sofa. ¡°Finally got rid of those two old fogeys. I can take a good rest now-¡± On the side, Fang Chang nced at Jiang Shan with a speechless expression, ¡°You are the deputy city lord at least. Can¡¯t you help me with some affairs in the base city?¡± ¡°Oh, what can possibly happen in our little base city? Aren¡¯t you enough to handle it alone?¡± Jiang Shan smiled mischievously. ¡°I agreed to be your deputy city lord on the condition that I wouldn¡¯t have to work, remember?¡± Fang Chang helplessly sat back in his seat, ¡°Then, why don¡¯t you go to the main hall? Or, take care of your niece? Although her level has already surpassed other students in her grade, she can¡¯t keep waiting for that Mo family¡¯s boy forever, right?¡± ¡°All, that girl is even more stubborn than my elder brother. What can I do?¡± ¡°Why not talk to Mo Xiao and let him continue leveling up with your niece? He just entered a secret realm recently, and his level should have improved. It should be no problem for him to apany that girl.¡± ¡°Mo Xiao indeed has impressivebat power, but¡­¡± ¡°But what?¡± Just as Jiang Shan was about to make a retort, Mo Xiao¡¯s cold voice rang directly in his ear, startling him. Jiang Shan jumped up in fright, ¡°What the heck?! How did you get in here? This is the City Lord¡¯s residence, for goodness¡¯ sake!¡± Mo Xiao tilted his head to look at Jiang Shan and said very calmly, ¡°There was no one at the door and it wasn¡¯t locked, so I came straight in.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Jiang Shan was at a loss for words. Fang Chang chuckled, ¡°Hehe, Mo Xiao, what brings you here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to look for him,¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan and said lightly, ¡°I wanted to sell some materials, and he said he would help me find a buyer. I also wanted to buy something, so I came to ask about it.¡± ¡°Sell materials? Oh! You just reminded me!¡± Only then did Jiang Shan remember the matter he promised to help Mo Xiao with, and he hadpletely forgotten about it. Hearing this, Mo Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows, ¡°So? Has it been settled?¡± ¡°Ahahaha, I forgot, I¡¯ll go find a buyer for you right away!¡± Jiang Shanughed awkwardly, without even thinking, he was ready to slip away. ¡°That¡¯s perfect. I don¡¯t want to sell them anymore.¡± Mo Xiao spoke lightly, then gently raised his right hand and pushed an illusory panel in front of Jiang Shan, ¡°Can you help me get these things?¡± ¡°What things?¡± Jiang Shan curiously nced at the list. ¡°36 Death Spider Webs, 16 Dragon Bones, 2 Illusory Stones, 2 Dark Gold Mother Stones, and 18 Third-Rank Profound Irons¡­ ¡°Wow, even the worst of these are purple-grade materials. What are you up to? Trying to monopolize the high-end material market?¡± Jiang Shan asked with a strange expression. Mo Xiao remained silent for a moment before saying, ¡°What I¡¯m doing is none of your concern. I just want to know if you can get them for me.¡± ¡°Well, the Death Spider Webs, Dragon Bones, and Third-Rank Profound Irons are easy to obtain, but these Illusory Stones and Dark Gold Mother Stones are tricky. They are rare even at auctions,¡± Jiang Shan shook his head. ¡°And all of these things are not cheap at all. Can you afford them?¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao was momentarily taken aback, and after some thought, he said, ¡°I have a way to make money.¡± ¡°Are you sure? Just the Third-Rank Profound Irons alone would cost at least two million,¡± Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao with disbelief. Mo Xiao didn¡¯t bother to respond to Jiang Shan. He casually opened his backpack, and the next moment, fiverge bags of gold coins were thrown out by Mo Xiao. ¡°Your city lord¡¯s mansion can exchange these gold coins for Dragon Kingdom currency, right?¡± Gold coins were a special currency that only humanoid monsters dropped in this game. Typically, the City Lord¡¯s residence could use gold coins to exchange for some special city buffs or directly convert them into Dragon Kingdom currency. However, the exchange rate was 1 to 1, andpared to the buffs, not many people chose to exchange coins for currency. ¡°Gold coins?¡± Fang Chang, who was standing nearby, also became interested and instinctively walked up to the gold coins. For Fang Chang, the City Lord, gold coins still held significant value. Although it was a base city, it was very simr to the main cities in the game, allowing the exchange of gold coins for system buffs. [Ding, congrattions on obtaining five million gold coins!] ¡°What the heck!!! Where did you get so many gold coins from?!!¡± Fang Chang¡¯s eyes nearly popped out when he received the gold coins. He couldn¡¯t produce so much even if he tried! ¡°Is it a lot?¡± Mo Xiao had no concept of the value and significance of gold coins. After all, these coins were all stolen by Mo Xiao using his Quick Fingers ability from the Guardian. ¡°Although it may not be much for a city, for an individual, it¡¯s already extravagant. This is five million gold coins!¡± Fang Chang gulped and said, ¡°Can you tell me where you got these gold coins from?¡± ¡°The monster dropped it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Fang Chang¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Pretend I didn¡¯t ask.. Jiang Shan, give me a copy of that material list, and 1¡¯11 help you find them!¡± Chapter 51 - 51: Black Ant Suit Blueprint Chapter 51: ck Ant Suit Blueprint Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°I always said this kid was a monster,¡± Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao and continued, ¡°Five million is indeed a lot, but it won¡¯t be enough to buy all the materials you need. However, we can help you find them.¡± ¡°Thanks,¡± Mo Xiao replied calmly and seemed to want to leave directly. ¡°Hey! Are you just going to leave like that?¡± Jiang Shan hurriedly called out. Mo Xiao turned back, looking somewhat puzzled, ¡°Is there something else?¡± ¡°If you rely solely on buying, it will cost at least several billion to get all those things you need. I can use our Jiang family¡¯s connections to help you,¡± Jiang Shan grinned. Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan and said directly, ¡°Tell me the conditions.¡± ¡°Hehe, you know how to y the game,¡± Jiang Shan chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s simple, bring Jiang He along for leveling! You teamed up with her during the college entrance exam, and if possible, it would be best to take her as your disciple under the War God!¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression gradually became strange upon hearing this, ¡°Do you have some misconception about me?¡± ¡°Huh? What do you mean?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just an orphan with nothing. Miss Su is willing to help me because 1 saved her, but it doesn¡¯t mean the War God will definitely take me as his disciple,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°I know that, but it doesn¡¯t matter. As long as you bring Jiang He for leveling,¡± Jiang Shan said directly without hesitation. ¡°¡­,¡± Mo Xiao fell silent again, but finally nodded, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take her for leveling.¡± Having said that, Mo Xiao turned around again, but this time he stopped on his own as if he had thought of something, and he asked, ¡°May I ask you two city masters, how many professions in our base city can wear heavy armor?¡± ¡°Heavy armor?¡± Fang Chang pondered for a moment and then nodded, ¡°Heavy armor is mostly worn by melee professions, and there are quite a few people like that. Why do you ask?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said directly, ¡°I obtained a set of equipment blueprints. I¡¯m currently short on money, so I¡¯m thinking of crafting the set and selling it.¡± ¡°Equipment set? Are you talking about the ck Ant set?¡± Jiang Shan instantly reacted upon hearing this. Mo Xiao nodded, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible, but ck Ant equipment is only blue-grade equipment. Even if it¡¯s a set, it won¡¯t fetch much money,¡± Jiang Shan reminded him. ¡°It¡¯s not an ordinary ck Ant set,¡± Mo Xiao contradicted him. ¡°The quality is higher.¡± ¡°Is there a purple-grade ck Ant set?¡± Jiang Shan rubbed his chin, ¡°If it¡¯s purple-grade, that¡¯s a different story. A set could start at least at five million, and if it¡¯s orange-grade¡­ well, let¡¯s not talk about that, you must be dreaming.¡± ¡°If I really manage to create it, can you help me sell it?¡± Mo Xiao asked directly. Both Fang Chang and Jiang Shan were momentarily stunned upon hearing this, they exchanged nces, and then smiled, ¡°Sure! Although ck Ant set equipment is rtively low-level, if the quality is high enough, there will be many buyers!¡± ¡°I understand. Thank you, two city lords,¡± Mo Xiao nodded at them and then left directly. As they watched Mo Xiao leave, Jiang Shan¡¯s expression gradually became serious, ¡°Old Fang, did you try to probe him just now?¡± ¡°Yeah¡­¡± Fang Chang also nodded seriously, ¡°It seems you can¡¯t detect any information about him either.¡± ¡°It looks like he has some kind of illusionary equipment, probably got his hands on something good again,¡± Jiang Shan said with a strange look. ¡°Isn¡¯t that normal? His father is¡­ and he also has a powerful talent, so there¡¯s nothing surprising,¡± Fang Chang said very calmly. ¡°True,¡± Jiang Shan agreed, ¡°If this kid can really produce orange-grade equipment, he might make a fortune. After all, the college entrance exam is in two months, and even the War God wille to watch!¡± Fang Chang chuckled, ¡°Isn¡¯t that a good thing? After all, he¡¯s a member of our Yicheng Base City.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. Well, enough chit-chat. Let¡¯s try to contact those old guys,¡± Jiang Shan stretchedzily and walked out of the office directly. Watching the two leave, Fang Chang slowly sat back in his chair, ¡°Two pieces of Illusory Stones? 1 remember there was one in the Tu family¡­¡± Half an hourter, in the instance dungeon hall. Jiang He was standing at the entrance of the hall with a gloomy expression. She seemed lost in thought. ¡°Want to clear dungeons together?¡± Just as Jiang He was daydreaming, a cold voice suddenly sounded in her ear. ¡°No, I have a teammate.¡± Jiang He shook her head and refused without thinking. H ii The person who spoke paused for a moment upon hearing this and then said calmly, ¡°Oh¡­ then you can leave the team.¡± ¡°Yes?¡± It was only then that Jiang He reacted and subconsciously raised her head, only to see Mo Xiao standing quietly in front of her. ¡°Mo Xiao?!¡± Seeing Mo Xiao in front of her, Jiang He couldn¡¯t help but exim in surprise. ¡°Hmm? Not leaving the team?¡± Mo Xiao tilted his head in confusion. ¡°No, no! I¡¯ve been waiting for you!¡± Jiang He said happily. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you had a teammate?¡± Mo Xiao asked, not quite understanding the situation. ¡°All! I meant you were my teammate!¡± Jiang He said with displeasure. ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment, then said, ¡°You haven¡¯t left any instances in the past two days?¡± ¡°Um¡­¡± Jiang He nodded slightly, ¡°If you¡¯re inside an instance and don¡¯te out, I can¡¯t enter other instances.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He and said with some helplessness, ¡°Why don¡¯t you just leave the team? It¡¯s not good to dy your leveling¡­ don¡¯t you want good results in the college entrance exam?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that if I leave the team, you won¡¯t team up with me again¡­¡± Jiang He said pitifully. Seeing Jiang He¡¯s expression, Mo Xiao hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned around and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s continue leveling.¡± ¡°Okay! Great!¡± Jiang He happily followed him. As for what happened with Su Jin¡¯er earlier, she had already forgotten about it. ¡°Mo Xiao, which instance are we going to today?¡± Jiang He asked curiously. Mo Xiao nced at the entrance to the instance hall, thought for a moment, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s continue running the ck Ant Nest instance.¡± ¡°Huh? Your level should have increased quite a bit. Why go there again?¡± Jiang asked, puzzled. ¡°Because we haven¡¯t cleared it yet,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly, ¡°Clearing the instance again will refresh the instancepletion record and give us additional experience rewards.¡± ¡°Refreshing the instance record?¡± Jiang He was surprised to hear this, ¡°That¡¯s unlikely, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Why is it unlikely? With me here, nothing is impossible,¡± Mo Xiao said nonchntly. ¡°Um¡­ have you leveled up a lot?¡± Jiang He asked curiously, ¡°I can¡¯t even detect your level and interface now.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m almost Level 20 now..¡± Chapter 52 - 52: Records Refreshed!

Compared to thest time, Mo Xiao was more familiar with the surroundings. He led Jiang He directly into the ck Ant Nest. ¡°Skeleton Lords!¡± Without hesitation, Mo Xiao summoned two Skeleton Lords. Now, Mo Xiao had reached level 19. The Skeleton Lords summoned were also level neen with significantly enhanced attributes. It wouldn¡¯t be easy for even a boss to kill them. As soon as the Skeleton Lords were summoned, Mo Xiao controlled them to go in different directions The ughter of the ck Ants began. Meanwhile, he led Jiang He into the main passage, heading straight for the location of the Ant Queen. ¡°Are we going directly to the Ant Queen? What about the side quest?¡± Jiang He, who was following behind Mo Xiao, asked curiously. ¡°The Skeleton Lords will take care of it.¡± As soon as Mo Xiao said this, a series of notifications continuously appeared on their information panel. [You killed a ck Ant and gained 200 experience points.] [You killed a ck Ant and gained 200 experience points.] In just a few minutes, Jiang He¡¯s experience bar increased by 5%. ¡°This¡­ When did your Skeleton Lord be so powerful?¡± Jiang He asked in surprise. ¡°Its level is linked to mine. As I level up, it bes stronger,¡± Mo Xiao exined calmly. Jiang He nodded slightly and didn¡¯t say anything more. She quietly followed Mo Xiao as they advanced towards the end of the nest. Along the way, although ck Ants appeared from time to time, they were killed by Mo Xiao before Jiang He could react. In a short half-hour, the two appeared once again at the end of the ck Ant Nest. [You sessfully killed the ck Ant King and gained 3,000 experience points!] [Congrattions! The secondary quest of the instance, ck Ant Nest, has beenpleted! Killing the Ant Queen willpletely end the instance!] Looking at the familiar system information, Mo Xiao instinctively looked at the wall that had previously teleported him away. ¡°You don¡¯t n to go to that hidden space again, do you?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, Jiang He was startled and quickly held him back, afraid that he might be teleported away again. Mo Xiao shook his head and said, ¡°I already cleared that area. Even if we go there, we won¡¯t find anything, and besides, that space appears randomly.¡± Saying that, Mo Xiao tapped the wall in front of him, and indeed, there was no prompt this time. ¡°Let¡¯s go then, killing the Ant Queen willplete the instance.¡± Mo Xiao put away his longbow and walked directly into the cave where the Ant Queen was located.. [You ughtered all the subjects of the Ant Queen, thoroughly enraging her. Please be careful!] As they entered, a system notification sounded in their ears. Indeed, afterpleting the side quest, the boss of the instance would undergo some subtle changes. Mo Xiao looked at the Ant Queen in front of him, which was two to three timesrger than the ck Ant King, and raised an eyebrow. [Angry ck Ant Queen ? Elite Lord-level boss] Level: LV25 HP: 10,000/10,000 Strength: 100 Agility: 540 Spirit: 200 Endurance: 500 Physique: 1,000 Spawning: Instantlyys countless ant eggs, hatching dozens of ck Workers with the same level as the Ant Queen. Detonation: Explodes theid ant eggs, causing massive damage. Devour: Devours everything in front of her to restore health. Acid Spray: Shoots ant acid at the enemy, causing continuous damage. ¡°Her health is quite high.¡± Mo Xiao murmured as he looked at the Ant Queen. Jiang He, who was behind him, was nervous. ¡°Mo Xiao¡­ What should we do?¡± Jiang He asked cautiously since Mo Xiao hadn¡¯t taken any action. ¡°?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He with confusion and said directly, ¡°What else can we do? Just kill her.¡± With that, Mo Xiao unsheathed the Four Symbols Heavy Sword on his back. ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Power Halo! ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± ¡°Shattering Mountains and Rivers!¡± The three familiar skillsbined with the brand new Shattering Mountains and Rivers. A terrifying sword light instantly left his hand. With an unstoppable momentum, he charged straight towards the Ant Queen. [Triggered a force of a thousand catties!] -226300!!!! In an instant, a number as high as 200,000 shed above the Ant Queen¡¯s head. Immediately, a mournful and sharp scream echoed as the Ant Queen crashed heavily to the ground, disappearing into specks of starlight. ¡°200,000?!¡± Seeing this number, Jiang He couldn¡¯t believe her eyes as she opened her cute little mouth wide. In just a few days, Mo Xiao¡¯s strength had undergone such a terrifying improvement! [You killed an elite-level Lord boss and gained 20,000 experience points!] [You have obtained the ant queen¡¯s mouthpart.] You obtained the Ant Queen¡¯s exoskeleton.] [You have obtained a Purgatory Treasure Chest.] [You obtained the Ant Queen¡¯s Treasure Chest.] [You obtained 10 ck Ant Eggs.] [Congrattions on killing the ck Ant Queen. The ck Ant Nest instance has been cleared! You obtained the qualification to enter the Nightmare-level ck Ant Nest instance Dungeon!] [Congrattions on breaking the record of clearing the Purgatory-level ck Ant Nest instance! You obtained a Record Treasure Chest*i! You gained 10,000 experience points!] As the system notifications sounded, the two directly transformed into rays of light and returned to the instance¡¯s main hall. [Ding! The record for clearing the Purgatory-level ck Ant Nest instance has been broken! Current record: 31 minutes and 15 seconds! Record breakers: Mo Xiao and Jiang He¡¯s team!] ¡°What the f*ck! Someone broke the record?! And it¡¯s the Purgatory-level one! Are they kidding?!!!¡± ¡°Quick, look at the names! It¡¯s Goddess Jiang He who broke it! She¡¯s too amazing!¡± ¡°I bet 50 cents it must be Mo Xiao leading the way!¡± ¡°Sob, sob, sob, we¡¯re still grinding level 5 Slime instances while they cleared a level 15 Purgatory-level instance. People are so much better than us!¡± Listening to the noisy voices around him, Mo Xiao instinctively scratched his ear and looked at Jiang He beside him. ¡°This instance gives a lot of experience. Did you level up?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Jiang He stared nkly at thepletion time on the system panel and said, ¡°I leveled up four times in one go, and now I¡¯m level 10.¡± ¡°Not bad. Take a break, and let¡¯s prepare for the Nightmare-level now,¡± Mo Xiao said nonchntly. Hearing this, Jiang He quickly snapped out of her daze. ¡°Continue grinding?¡± ¡°Yes, I need to reach level 25 within two months, and I can¡¯t waste any time..¡± Chapter 53 - 53: Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast? Chapter 53: Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Great! I¡¯ll work hard with you!¡± Jiang He earnestly clenched her fist. Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and didn¡¯t say much. ¡°You should rest. We¡¯ll split the dropped itemster.¡± ¡°No need. I just followed you around and didn¡¯t really help. You can take everything. Our Jiang family doesn¡¯tck these things,¡± Jiang He said somewhat embarrassedly. Seeing Jiang He¡¯s response, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t argue with her. He casually found a spot in the hall, closed his eyes, and opened his mission panel. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV19 (132,000/450,000) ss: Solo yer Strength: 243 ( + 1010) Agility: 177 ( + 55O) Spirit: 114 (+620) Endurance: 110 (+700) Physique: 80 (+100) Unallocated Points: 60 Mo Xiao looked at his buggy interface. He could not help but gasp. The earlier attributes seemed somewhat normal. However, whenbined with the bonuses from equipment, they were truly frightening. ¡°Red equipment is indeed insane¡­¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips. Although he also felt that it was a little like cheating, no one wouldin about having too muchbat power. At this point, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t bother looking at anything else and casually assigned all the attribute points to Strength. Then, he opened his backpack to check the two treasure chests he had obtained earlier. Just as Mo Xiao opened his backpack, his gaze suddenly fell on a trembling, glowing egg. [Unknown Divine Beast Egg: Hatching Completed! Please release!] Mo Xiao was also stunned when he saw this. Didn¡¯t this thing need ten days to hatch? It had only been two to three days. How did it hatch so quickly? After thinking for a moment, Mo Xiao stood up and looked at Jiang He, who was contemting how to distribute her attribute points. ¡°I¡¯m going out for a moment. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°Huh? Oh, okay,¡± Jiang He nodded quickly in response. With that, Mo Xiao left the instance hall inrge strides and found a secluded corner to release this peculiar divine beast egg. In the next moment, a shining divine beast egg appeared before Mo Xiao, radiating a dazzling light. The egg, already covered in cracks, instantly burst open. [Hatching Sessful! Congrattions, you have obtained the pet Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast.] ¡°Hmm? Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast? What is this?¡± [Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast] Level: LV1 (0/500) Health Points: 50/50 Strength: 1 Spirit: 1 Endurance: 10 Physique: 5 Agility: 1,000 Owner: Mo Xiao Auspicious Aura: A small beast shrouded in auspiciousness, bringing excellent luck to its owner. Food Spirit: Can devour the bodies of monsters and gain their skills. It can also dpose into special crystals over time and enhance its owner¡¯s experience. Heavenly Spirit Power: A spirit beast favored by the heavens. Evasion +99%, movement speed +1,000%. It also grants the owner one exemption from death per day. Auspicious Beast Body: A spirit beast that represents auspiciousness. No creature is willing to attack it, even if it has lost its mind. Heavenly Spirit¡¯s Favor: Bing the owner of this creature will earn you the favor of the heavens, granting you one exemption from death every week. ¡°!!!¡± Seeing the attributes of this Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes instantly widened. These attributes were truly bizarre. It seemed weak with all attributes at 1. But its evasion rate was incredibly high, and it could even avoid death. It was incredibly mysterious. Mo Xiao stared at the creature before him, which was grayish and resembled a small dog. He muttered, ¡°What on earth are you¡­¡± ¡°Woof!¡± The Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast, upon noticing Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze, barked without reservation. ¡°What the heck¡­ You can¡¯t be a dog, can you?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re a dog then. From today, I¡¯ll call you Little Gray.¡± ¡°Howl-¡± Hearing this name, Little Gray happily spun around Mo Xiao and then tilted its head up, letting out a howl. Seeing Little Gray like this, Mo Xiao also smiled and directly hugged it in his arms, then directly took out the two treasure chests from before. ¡°The most important partes next. I¡¯ve never seen these two treasure chests before.¡± As he spoke, the Recording Treasure Chest and Purgatory Treasure Chest simultaneously appeared in Mo Xiao¡¯s hands. [Ding, the Recording Treasure Chest cannot be upgraded. Please open it directly.] ¡°Alright¡­ It seems this thing can¡¯t be upgraded.¡± Mo Xiao sighed helplessly and opened the treasure chest. [You have opened the Recording Treasure Chest. Congrattions on obtaining the blueprint for the ck Ant Giant Sword!] ¡°Hmm? ck Ant Giant Sword? Oh, it seems to be part of the ck Ant set. With this, 1¡¯11 have theplete five-piece set. It will be easier to sell now.¡± Mo Xiao was momentarily stunned but then rejoiced at the discovery. However, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t directly use the blueprint to level up, not because he didn¡¯t want to. Instead, he had learned from his previous experience. The blueprint for the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre should have been rtively easy to craft, but after he used it for an upgrade, he couldn¡¯t gather the necessary materials, making it impossible to produce it. If he used the blueprint for the ck Ant set as well, he could forget about making money from it. Moreover, while many people could afford blue sets, not many could afford orange ones. Furthermore, it wasn¡¯t even a high-tier set that could be used for a long time. Even if someone could afford it, not many would waste money on an orange set. [You rubbed the Purgatory Treasure Chest and it has been upgraded to a Nightmare Treasure Chest!] ¡°Nightmare Treasure Chest? Isn¡¯t that the kind of treasure chest that drops from Nightmare-level dungeons? And I just upgraded it directly.¡± Mo Xiao smiled faintly and directly opened the box in his hands. [You have opened the Nightmare Treasure Chest and obtained 16 Death Spider Webs.] ¡°Huh? Death Spider Webs??¡± Looking at the acquired materials, Mo Xiao was momentarily taken aback. This treasure chest actually gave him the materials he needed? And the quantity was precisely what he needed? ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is he lucky?¡± Mo Xiao looked suspiciously at Little Gray in his arms and the Dragonite Jade on his body. Luck had always been a mysterious attribute. Saying it was useful wasn¡¯t entirely urate, but saying it was useless sometimes would be underestimating it, as it asionally provided good things. ¡°If your luck is really useful, give me more benefits-¡± Mo Xiao smiled and patted Little Gray¡¯s head. Then, he ced it on his shoulder and walked towards the dungeon hall. ¡°Mo Xiao, you¡¯re back! We¡­¡± Jiang He was about to say something, but her gaze was quickly drawn to the little gray thing on Mo Xiao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Wow! So cute! What¡¯s this?¡± Jiang He didn¡¯t say anything else and directly hugged Little Gray in her arms, her face full of love. ¡°It¡¯s my newly acquired pet. Let¡¯s just treat it as a mascot.¡± ¡°Eh? Is it very weak? 1 can¡¯t even see its attributes¡­¡± Jiang He said in surprise. [Little Gray yfully rubbed against Jiang He¡¯s softness, and the skill Arrow Rain has been copied!]] Chapter 54 - 54: Nightmare-Level Instance Dungeon? Sorry! Instant Kill! Chapter 54: Nightmare-Level Instance Dungeon? Sorry! Instant Kill! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios What skill did this wave of copies replicate? Mo Xiao didn¡¯t notice at all. What surprised him was that after this Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast rubbed against others, it could actually copy skills and talents! This was what surprised Mo Xiao the most. ¡°Could pets also use their owner¡¯s talents?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, a burst ofughter reached his ears. ¡°Eh, little guy, stop nudging around!¡± Little Gray was desperately snuggling into Jiang He¡¯s arms, making herugh non-stop. Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched a couple of times, and he couldn¡¯t help but cough twice, saying, ¡°Ahem, Jiang He, continue with the instance.¡± ¡°So soon? Doesn¡¯t the ck Ant Nest instance have a cooldown of two hours?¡± Jiang He asked in confusion while holding Little Gray. Mo Xiao remained calm and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, your uncle gave me a cooldown reduction tool.¡± ¡°There¡¯s such an item? I didn¡¯t even know. Uncle is too biased, he gives everything to you and nothing to me.¡± Jiang He pouted unhappily. Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He, not bothering to say much, and directly walked to the entrance of the ck Ant Nest instance. [The current instance has been cleared, cooldown time: 2 hours. Do you want to use the reset function?] ¡°Use.¡± With Mo Xiao¡¯smand, the instance¡¯s gate lit up with a green light, and the cooldown time instantly reset to zero. [Please select the instance difficulty.] [Easy, Normal, Hard, Purgatory, Abyss, Nightmare.] Originally, there were only five difficulty options, but now, a sixth difficulty appeared. Clearly, Mo Xiao had unlocked a brand new difficulty after clearing the Purgatory Difficulty. ¡°Nightmare, huh¡­¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and clicked on the nightmare option. [Warning! Nightmare Difficulty far exceeds all previous difficulties. Do you want to enter?] ¡°Enter.¡± [Warning! Nightmare Level is extremely dangerous! Do you want to enter with only two people?] ¡°Enter!¡± With Mo Xiao¡¯s two choices, the entrance to the ck Ant Nest instance once again glowed with a red dangerous light, and the two of them directly entered the instance. As they disappeared, a group of people gathered cautiously outside the instance gate. ¡°What the hell is Nightmare Level? Have you heard of it?¡± ¡°No, the highest difficulty for instances used to be Abyss, right? When did Nightmare level appear?¡± ¡°Should we go find the Hall Master? He brought Goddess Jiang He down with him¡­¡± ¡°Well¡­ I don¡¯t think we need to. It¡¯s not his first time doing this.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really curious about how much experience there is in a nightmare-level dungeon-¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be curious. With our standards, even if we can open it, we¡¯ll be courting death.¡± [Beep, you have entered a nightmare-level map, the ck ant nest!] As soon as they entered the map, Jiang He hugged Little Gray and looked around curiously. ¡°Is this a Nightmare-level map? It doesn¡¯t feel like there¡¯s much of an area with a Purgatory-level map¡­¡± Before Jiang He could finish her sentence, Mo Xiao suddenly pulled her behind him. ¡°Ding, ding, ding!¡± In the next moment, a series of metal shing sounds rang out from Mo Xiao¡¯s body, and a series of numbers continuously shed above his head. [-500] [-999] [-500] ¡°!!!¡± Seeing this string of numbers, Jiang He was also shocked. ¡°What high damage! Mo Xiao, you didn¡¯t¡­ Eh? Why didn¡¯t your health drop?¡± Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s unchanged health bar in the party list, Jiang He was stunned. H 11 Mo Xiao did not speak, but directly drew his flying longbow. ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± ¡°Rain of arrows!¡± Without thinking, Mo Xiao instantly fired the skill he had just learned. -10,504 -10,504 Instantly, a series of tens of thousands of damage numbers shed in the distance. [You have killed the Elite Thorn Ant and gained 5,000 experience points!] [You have killed the Elite Thorn Ant and gained 5,000 experience points!] As a series of messages shed past, Jiang He did not even know what had happened, and her experience bar was already half filled. ¡°So much experience! Are all these elite monsters?¡± Jiang He eximed in astonishment. Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°Yes, the experience gained is indeed quite good. Their levels should be quite high. Judging from this, even the weakest creatures inside should be elites.¡± ¡°All the monsters in a nest are elites?¡± Hearing this, Jiang He couldn¡¯t help but gulp and said, ¡°How about¡­ we leave? I¡¯d be done for if one of those monsters hits me¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with me here, 1 won¡¯t let you get hurt,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. Jiang He hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°How about I wait here for you? As long as you clear the instance, I can leave, and the experience frompleting the instance should be enough for me.¡± Hearing Jiang He¡¯s words, Mo Xiao looked around and said, ¡°No, there would be monsters here. Leaving you here would be the most dangerous option.¡± ¡°Fine¡­¡± Although Jiang He didn¡¯t want to burden Mo Xiao, she also didn¡¯t want to stay idly here, so she had no choice but to follow Mo Xiao into the ck Ant Nest. Although it was a Nightmare-level map, the route of the ck ant nest was not much different from before. Apart from the significantly increased monster density and quality, there was not much difference from the previous maps in the Douyu game, and even the side quests were canceled. After walking for a while, Mo Xiao directly stopped and said, ¡°It seems that this Nightmare-level instance doesn¡¯t have any side quests.¡± ¡°It seems so¡­ Is there a problem?¡± Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao with some confusion. Mo Xiao smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s set another clear record. The Nightmare-level reward might be better.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Before Jiang He could react, Mo Xiao directly looked at her and said, ¡°Excuse me.¡± Then, with a scream, Mo Xiao carried Jiang He in his arms like a princess. ¡°Hold on for a while; it won¡¯t take long.¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s face was slightly red at this point, and he dared not look down at Jiang He in his arms. He didn¡¯t care whether Jiang He agreed or not and directly said, ¡°Little Gray! Use the power of the spirit and keep up!¡± ¡°Shadowless!¡± As Mo Xiao activated his technique, he instantly turned into a phantom, and his running speed reached its limit as he headed straight for the Ant Queen¡¯s nest. About five minutester, Mo Xiao stopped his sprint and released his hands. However, Jiang He hung on to Mo Xiao like a ko bear. ¡°Ahem¡­ Jiang He, let go. We¡¯ve arrived; we¡¯re about to get out.¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang He¡¯s face immediately turned even redder. She quickly let go of Mo Xiao and jumped down from his arms. We¡¯re here?¡± Jiang He mumbled. Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°Only the Ant Queen is left.¡± ¡°Yes, and¡­¡± [You killed the Elite Lord Boss, the ck Ant Ant Queen and gained 50,000 experience points!] Chapter 55 - 55= 99,999! Chapter 55= 99,999!

The map is now cleared!] [Congrattions on breaking the record for the Nightmare-level ck Ant Nest! You obtained a record treasure chest *1 and gained 50,000 experience points!] Once again, they heard the familiar system prompt, and the two of them returned to the main hall of the instance dungeon. As soon as the two of them appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of countless people. ¡°Eh? It hasn¡¯t even been 10 minutes. How did theye out so fast?¡± ¡°This is a Nightmare-level map. Even Mo Xiao probably couldn¡¯t defeat it. I knew it, no matter how strong he is, it¡¯s not that exaggerated!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Life is more important than face!¡± ¡°If anything happens to Jiang He because of him, the Jiang family will kill him!¡± Listening to the crowd¡¯s discussions, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly but didn¡¯t bother to say anything. [Ding! The record for clearing the Nightmare-level ck Ant Nest has been refreshed! The current record is 7 minutes and 38 seconds! Record holders: Mo Xiao and Jiang He team!] H 11 With the system prompt, the entire main hall fell silent. Although neers might not know about the Nightmare-level Instance Dungeons, other professionals were well aware of its difficulty. If a regr instance was at level 5, then at the Nightmare level, its difficulty would rise to that of a level 20 to 30 instance, or even higher. The ck Ant Nest instance was designed for levels 10 to 15, which means its difficulty wasparable to that of level 40 professionals. Most people would find it difficult to clear the instance, let alone breaking the record. Besides, very few would be foolish enough to attempt Nightmare-level instances, despite the high experience rewards, as the cost was too great, and the cost-benefit ratio was low. They had never heard of anyone clearing a Nightmare-level instance within 10 minutes. ¡°I¡¯m¡­ This can¡¯t be possible, right?¡± ¡°Clearing it in seven minutes?! Damn!!! Mo Xiao must be cheating again!!!¡± ¡°Comparisons are infuriating¡­ Is it even possible for a human to have such fighting power?¡± ¡°Brother Xiao!!! Do you know some kind of bug or exploit? You must tell me!!!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the point of telling you? Can you open a Nightmare-level instance map by clearing the Purgatory-level ck Ant Nest?¡± Ignoring the discussions, Mo Xiao took Jiang He and left the main hall directly. ¡°That¡¯s enough for today,¡± Mo Xiao said to Jiang He indifferently, ¡°Your level should be enough to take others to farm the ck Ant Nest now.¡± ¡°Huh? Aren¡¯t you leveling up too?¡± Jiang He asked with a somewhat disappointed tone. Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°1 have something to do temporarily. Let¡¯s talk about it tomorrow.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± When Jiang He heard this, she didn¡¯t say anything else and directly left the team, returning to the dungeon hall. Seeing Jiang He¡¯s departure, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t say much and returned to his old shabby rented apartment. ¡°Speaking of changing the apartment, I forgot about it again.¡± Back in the rundown apartment, Mo Xiao sighed helplessly and took out the obtained treasure chests. [You rubbed the Nightmare Treasure Chest, and it transformed into an Ultimate Treasure Chest!] ¡°Ultimate Treasure Chest? There¡¯s something even beyond Nightmare level?¡± Looking at the treasure chest, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly. ¡°Seems like this instance¡¯s level is too low to unlock the Ultimate level.¡± With a faint smile, Mo Xiao opened the chest. [You opened the Nightmare Treasure Chest and obtained a Magic Crystal!] [Magic Crystal: When used, it increases the magic power limit by 4,000 points!] ¡°Wow? I didn¡¯t expect there¡¯s a Magic Crystal! Hey¡­ Can I rub it again?¡± Thinking about it, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes lit up, and he decisively rubbed the Magic Crystal. [You rubbed the Magic Crystal, and it transformed into a Magic Source Crystal!] [Magic Source Crystal: When used, it increases the magic power limit by 10,000 points!] ¡°10,000 points! My Dragon God¡¯s Descent can be used as much as I want now!¡± Seeing the significant increase, Mo Xiao was overjoyed and, without hesitation, used the crystal. Instantly, he felt afortable sensation as his magic power increased several times over. [You opened the Record Treasure Chest and obtained 5,000 gold coins.] ¡°Uh, gold coins? That¡¯s a bit underwhelming¡­¡± Mo Xiao muttered a couple of times and then shifted his gaze to the Ant Queen¡¯s Treasure Chest. He had almost forgotten about this chest, which dropped from the Ant Queen. ¡°I wonder if I can rub this too¡­¡± Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao lightly rubbed the chest. [This treasure chest has reached the highest quality and cannot be transformed.] ¡°Well, it looks like 1 can¡¯t stack them¡­¡± Mo Xiao sighed helplessly and opened the treasure chest. [You opened the Ant Queen¡¯s Treasure Chest and obtained the ck Ant Set!] [You opened the Ant Queen¡¯s Treasure Chest and obtained ck Ant Materials *20.] H H Looking at the contents revealed from the treasure chest, Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. ¡°Is this it? Is this it!!! And you have the nerve to call it a treasure chest! Giving such measly items!¡± For the current Mo Xiao, he naturally looked down on these things as he already had too many good items. However, for others, this was already a quite decent reward. After all, the ck Ant Set was a blue-quality equipment, and obtaining aplete set in the ck Ant Nest was quite challenging. Moreover, the materials were also blue materials. Not only could they be used for forging, but they could also be sold for money. It could be said to be quite a good reward. ¡°Whatever, I already have plenty of good items anyway.¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself and directly took out the ck Ant Set. He took a look at the attributes. ¡°Tsk, blue equipment is so weak. It can¡¯tpare to the Four Symbols Set-¡± With that, Mo Xiao rubbed it directly. Although it was only a blue-tier set, once he rubbed it and transformed it, it became an orange-tier set. Although Mo Xiao still looked down on it, for others, it was quite impressive. [You rubbed the ck Ant Set, and it transformed into the ck Soldier Ant Set!] [You rubbed the ck Soldier Ant Set, and it transformed into the ck Ant King Set!] ¡°Ant King Set. It looks pretty good, but unfortunately, it¡¯s still level 15,¡± Mo Xiao muttered as he put away the Ant King Set and opened the chat panel. Then, he directly sent the information about the ck Ant King Set. Mo Xiao said, ¡°Look, what do you think of this set?¡± There was a moment of silence on the other side, followed by a direct voice call. ¡°Damn! Where did you get this, you little punk! An orange-grade set! Although it¡¯s just a first-tier equipment, it¡¯s still exceptionally rare!¡± ¡°1 just brought Jiang He through the Nightmare-level Instance Dungeon. She might have arrived too..¡± Chapter 56 - 56: Advanced Auction House? Chapter 56: Advanced Auction House? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Ten minutester, Mo Xiao slowly walked into the central square of the base city. As soon as he appeared, Jiang Shan instantly ran up to him. ¡°Where¡¯s the item? Let me see it!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a level 15 orange set. There¡¯s no need to be so excited, right?¡± Mo Xiao said, raising his eyebrows with a hint of speechlessness. He opened the trading page on the panel, throwing up the Ant King Set. Jiang Shan looked at the set on the panel and sighed. ¡°It¡¯s really a level 15 orange set. It¡¯s really rare-¡± ¡°No matter how rare it is, it¡¯s just a level 15 beginner set,¡± Mo Xiao said nonchntly. ¡°In the past, not many people would want it, but it¡¯s different this time,¡± Jiang Shan said excitedly as he put away the Ant King Set. Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan curiously. ¡°What¡¯s different about this year?¡± ¡°Huh? Weren¡¯t you there when it was announced? It¡¯s not a secret anymore,¡± Jiang Shan said with a strange expression. ¡°This year¡¯s college entrance examination has attracted special attention from higher-ups, and even the War God will be there to watch. That War God is probably Miss Su¡¯s master.¡± ¡°So what?¡± Mo Xiao asked. ¡°Are you really clueless or just pretending?!¡± Jiang Shan became even more speechless when Mo Xiao kept asking. ¡°The news about the War God talcing disciples is known all over the country! Those big families will spare no effort in enhancing the strength of their juniors to get close to the War God¡¯s rtionship! ¡°Moreover, lower-level high-quality equipment is already rare. Your set can definitely earn you a lot. Why not exchange it for materials? After all, those materials are hard toe by, and it¡¯s more convenient to trade them for orange equipment than to buy with money.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ What if 1 can mass produce the Ant King Set?¡± Hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s words, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and asked curiously. ¡°Mass produce? Are you kidding? This is orange equipment,¡± Jiang Shan said without thinking. ¡°Even if you can mass produce it, it¡¯s useless. Once the demand is met, the price will plummet, and it will no longer be valuable.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully but didn¡¯t say anything more. Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s serious expression, Jiang Shan¡¯s expression changed slightly. ¡°Hey¡­ you can¡¯t really mass produce the Ant King Set, can you?¡± ¡°ck ants and soldier ants, I can do it. Ant King¡­ 1 can speed-run Nightmare-level dungeons in five minutes. Does that count as a chance to get them in batches?¡± Mo Xiao said, tilting his head mischievously. ¡°Speed-run in five minutes¡­¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this. ¡°You really are a monster.¡± ¡°If you can get many sets,e to me, and I¡¯ll find a way to help you sell them.¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan casually and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Why are you being so polite with me?¡± Jiang Shan waved his hand and said, ¡°You just have to take good care of Jiang He for me¡­ ¡°Hmm? Speaking of which¡­ where did you leave Jiang He?¡± ¡°I let her go level up on her own. She should be around level twelve or thirteen now, no problem,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly.. ¡°Only Level 12 or 13¡­ Wait a minute?! What level!¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Mo Xiao¡¯s rapid leveling was understandable. But why did Jiang He reach Level 12 all of a sudden? This is not logical! Could it be that this kid gave his experience badge to Jiang He? ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Seeing Jiang Shan¡¯s look of disbelief almost written on his face, Mo Xiao was also puzzled. Is this guy really a high-level yer? Why is he so clueless? Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s impatience, Jiang Shan didn¡¯t ask his question after all. ¡°Purgatory-level and Nightmare-level dungeons give a lot of experience, especially the boss monsters. It¡¯s normal to level up quickly,¡± Mo Xiao said casually. ¡°Once I sell these items, I¡¯ll take Jiang He to run Nightmare-level dungeons. ¡°Excluding the small monsters, just the ck Ant Ant Queen and the experience gained from clearing the level is 100,000 experience points. The leveling up is very fast.¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s words made it seem as if clearing the Nightmare-level Instance Dungeon was as easy as drinking water for him. ¡°You¡¯re really a monster¡­¡± Jiang Shan muttered. ¡°What level are you now?¡± ¡°Almost level 20,¡± Mo Xiao answered truthfully. ¡°Leveling up now requires 450,000 experience points. It won¡¯t be easy to reach level 25 in two months.¡± Jiang Shan shrugged, ¡°It depends on you guys. If you can find a secret realm, leveling up won¡¯t be so hard.¡± ¡°Hall Master, what¡¯s inside these secret realms you mentioned? Why do people say it¡¯s convenient for leveling?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. Though they all knew about the existence of secret realms, none of them had actually been to one, nor did they know what they were meant for. They only knew that leveling up inside would be much faster. ¡°Well, how should I put it? Simr to dungeons, they give out quests, and as for the rest, I¡¯m not sure. Anyway, once you find a secret realm, you¡¯ll naturally find out,¡± Jiang Shan thought for a moment and casually brushed it off without going into details. Hearing this, Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes, ¡°Quests, you say¡­¡± Twenty minutester. Mo Xiao followed behind Jiang Shan and entered a peculiar building. ¡°What is this ce?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan with a strange expression, ¡°You¡¯re not taking me to some weird ce, are you?¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang Shan almost tripped over his own feet. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about! It¡¯s just an auction house!¡± Jiang Shan red at Mo Xiao fiercely, ¡°Come inside with me!¡± Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows. After entering the auction house, Mo Xiao suddenly realized that this so-called auction house was different from what he had imagined. It was just a small pitch-ck room. Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, Jiang Shan gently raised his hand, and the pitch-ck room instantly lit up with white light. Illusory panels appeared directly in front of Mo Xiao, filled with all kinds of equipment, all of them ranging from purple quality and above. ¡°Is this just an auction house?¡± Mo Xiao asked with some doubt. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s just a ce for buying and selling things, but the people whoe here to look are generally big shots like me,¡± Jiang Shan said unceremoniously. Hearing this, Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment and asked, ¡°Can¡¯t you do this directly on the system? Why bother creating an actual ce?¡± ¡°I can indeed do it on my personal panel, but this system feature has a high level requirement. It can only be used by those at level 50 and above. That¡¯s why this ce was specially established, to allow the older generation to bring their juniors here for transactions.¡± As Jiang Shan spoke, he casually waved his hand, and the search panels for the Void Illusion Stone and the Dark Gold Mother Stone appeared in front of them. ¡°There, I¡¯ve ced the panels for you..¡± Chapter 57 - 57: Basic Professional Skill Book Chapter 57: Basic Professional Skill Book Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°I¡¯ll also put this item up for sale and see if anyone will buy it.¡± As Jiang Shan spoke, he directly raised his hand and quickly equipped the Ant King¡¯s Set, using the materials that Mo Xiao had requested earlier. ¡°I don¡¯t need that Death Spider Web anymore; 1 already got it,¡± Mo Xiao quickly replied upon seeing the situation. ¡°Huh? You got the Death Spider Web??¡± Jiang Shan looked surprised at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°If I didn¡¯t know your background, I would suspect you were an orphan. The Death Spider Web is a material that only drops from level 40 bosses, and you managed to obtain it?¡± Mo Xiao was taken aback for a moment but then said, ¡°I got it from opening a treasure chest.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s mouth slightly opened, envy written all over his face, ¡°It¡¯s impressive to kill monsters beyond your level. Treasure chests aren¡¯t that easy toe by.¡± ¡°Is that so? I think it¡¯s not a big deal; you can get one by killing any boss,¡± Mo Xiao replied calmly. How could Jiang Shan not know that bosses could drop treasure chests? However, he was referring to high-level treasure chests. The regr bosses dropped onlymon ones, which didn¡¯t offer anything valuable. High-level treasure chests would only drop if a boss was killed beyond one¡¯s level or if it was the first time killing a boss of higher rank. From the second time onwards, the drop rate of high-level treasure chests would plummet. However, to Mo Xiao, this was not an issue because he had the Snatch Medal, which ensured that such treasure chests would always drop for him. Thus, he couldn¡¯t understand the struggles of others. ¡°Alright, the settings are nearlyplete. If there¡¯s any news, I¡¯ll inform you immediately. Do you have anything else to sell? Or do you want to buy something? This system is almost connected to high-level professionals worldwide, and you can find almost anything you need here,¡± Jiang Shan exined. ¡°As a professional like you, what you mightck the most are skills, right? Do you want to buy a couple of skill books?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have money,¡± Mo Xiao replied without hesitation. ¡°I still want to save some money for a better ce to live.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help you settle the amodation. Our base city has a house specially assigned to professionals. It just needs to show a certain amount of merit. With your current talent, you can choose the house. If you can be the top schr, you can even live in the City Lord¡¯s Residence.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. In his previous life, buying a house would have required exhausting all the family¡¯s assets for three generations, but now he could just choose one casually? This was too magical¡­ Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s dumbfounded expression, Jiang Shan continued, ¡°If you¡¯re willing to keep leveling up with my niece, 1 can directly give you a Jiang Family vi. How about that?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s¡­ let¡¯s talk about thatter,¡± Mo Xiao shook his head, instantly returning to his usual aloof demeanor. ¡°Since there are skill books avable, I¡¯ll buy two. Are they expensive?¡± Seeing that Mo Xiao didn¡¯t refuse, a cunning glint shed in Jiang Shan¡¯s eyes, but he didn¡¯t continue on that topic. Instead, he followed Mo Xiao¡¯s words, ¡°Skill books are not cheap at all. Even random skill books can cost tens of thousands or more.¡± ¡°If you want to talk about rtively cheaper options¡­ that would be the Basic Professional Skill Books,¡± Jiang Shan suggested.. ¡°What are those?¡± Mo Xiao had never heard of the term ¡®Basic Professional Skill Books,¡¯ but from the name, it seemed like they were some fundamental skills that all professionals should have. ¡°For example, there¡¯s a skill called Restorative Meditation that all professions can use to slowly restore their health and mana when they¡¯re out of potions¡­¡± Jiang Shan said with a peculiar look at Mo Xiao, ¡°By the way, you¡¯re a Solo yer¡­ you don¡¯t even have this skill?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t,¡± Mo Xiao said with much annoyance. Although the Solo yer profession was well-known, historically, it had only appeared once and had not achieved any notable aplishments. The lone yer of that time had died during a ss transfer quest when he was only level 30. Even though he left behind a skillpendium, no one bothered to seriously examine it. They only knew that it was a profession without any skills, which led to Mo Xiao being ridiculed when he reappeared in this world. ¡°Alright¡­¡± Jiang Shan awkwardly scratched his head and quickly bought a copy of Restorative Meditation for Mo Xiao. Although it was a skill that everyone had, because it was in the form of a skill book, it still sold for over ten thousand gold coins. Anyone who bought it was usually considered a bit of a fool. ¡°Do you need anything else?¡± Jiang Shan asked as he opened the skill book auction panel. Although it was an advanced auction house, all the skills avable were entirely blue, with hardly any purple ones. ¡°Help me buy a copy of the basic skills for every profession; 1 can use them all anyway,¡± Mo Xiao browsed through the skill books in front of him, finding nothing remarkable. For Mo Xiao, high-level skill books could easily be obtained from monsters, treasure chests, or even copying them from others. There was no need to spend money to buy them. However, basic skills were much harder toe by since they were likely obtained by other professions during their ss transfer quests. ¡°Sure, you may think these are basic skills and not that powerful, but they are all blue-tier skill books,¡± Jiang Shan said as he sifted through them. ¡°If they weren¡¯t considered as professional basics, their prices would be outrageous.¡± ¡°Blue-tier?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao lowered his head and looked at the breathing technique in his hand. [Skill Book ¨C Restorative Meditation (Blue): Allows you to restore health and mana by meditating, recovering 1% per minute.] ¡°This kind of trash skill considered blue-tier?¡± Mo Xiao asked with a puzzled expression. ¡°Who knows?¡± Jiang Shan shrugged, then quickly brought out a pile of skill books. ¡°These are probably all you can find.¡± ¡°There are mage, priest, swordsman, archer, warrior, knight, and assassin skills¡­ emm, that¡¯s all,¡± Jiang Shan said, rubbing his chin. Mo Xiao pondered for a moment and curiously asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you have any basic skill books for your profession?¡± Jiang Shan was slightly taken aback by the question but then smiled and replied, ¡°I, like you, belong to a rare profession, a hidden ss. The basic skill for my profession, assassin, can be learned, so it doesn¡¯t count as a basic upational skill.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Seeing Mo Xiao like this, Jiang Shan immediately smiled and said, ¡°If I seed in my next profession change, I¡¯ll think of a way to get you one, okay?¡± ¡°Thanks a lot.¡± ¡°Haha, we¡¯re in this together, no need to be polite,¡± Jiang Shan chuckled and directly handed the skill books to Mo Xiao. ¡°That¡¯s all for now. I¡¯ll help you keep an eye on your Ant King Set. There¡¯s no problem.¡± ¡°If you still have the ck Ant Set, you can trade it to me directly. I¡¯ll help you sell it. I only have one request. Treat my Little Jiang He well and help her level up properly..¡± Chapter 58 - 58: Tu Family’s Illusory Stone Chapter 58: Tu Family¡¯s Illusory Stone Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Big brother, calm down. We¡¯ve already sent someone to investigate the matter with Feiding. Well have news soon.¡± Tu Family¡¯s second eldest looked at his furious elder brother and quicklyforted him. ¡°Calm down?! My son is dead! How can 1 calm down!!!¡± Eldest Tu angrily eximed, ¡°We¡¯ve always been the ones bullying others! When did it be others bullying us! ¡°I even spent a huge sum of money to get Little Wu blessed by the Dao of Heaven. 1 never expected that he would encounter trouble even after having a chance to be resurrected. I want to know who dares to do this to our Tu Family!¡± Eldest Tu pped the tea table beside him, shattering it instantly, and the whole hall fell silent. No one dared to say anything further. ¡°Master!¡± Just then, a man rushed into the main hall. Eldest Tu quickly went up to him and supported the man, asking, ¡°How is it? Have you found out who killed Feiding?¡± When the person heard this, he trembled slightly and cautiously shook his head, saying, ¡°We haven¡¯t found out yet¡­¡± ¡°Useless!¡± Eldest Tu pped the man¡¯s face, almost depleting the man¡¯s health bar. Suppressing his anger, he said, ¡°Speak up! What do you want from me?¡± ¡°Reporting to the Master¡­ someone has auctioned a set of Level 15 orange-tier equipment on the auction system,¡± the man said, nursing his painful face, but still respectfully exining the situation. Hearing this, Eldest Tu was taken aback, and his anger subsided a little. ¡°Level 15? Orange-tier equipment? Is it true?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s true,¡± the man nodded repeatedly. He wouldn¡¯t dare to lie about something like this. Ever since the Tu Family learned that the War God wanted to observe the college entrance exam, they had been searching for low-level high-grade equipment. In a sense, it was even more challenging to find low-level orange-grade equipment than high-level ones. Before reaching the first transformation, the progress was too quick, and no matter how powerful the equipment was, it would soon be obsolete. There was no need to create top-tier equipment; what was sufficient would do. However, as the level increased, each level-up required a massive amount of time. Sometimes, they needed to participate in high-difficulty activities andpetitions, making the quality of equipment even more crucial. ¡°What kind of set is it? Can you see the name and attributes?¡± Eldest Tu asked after a moment of silence. The man continued, ¡°I can¡¯t see its attributes for the time being. It has a name, the Ant King Set.¡± ¡°Ant King? Armor-type set¡­¡± Eldest Tu pondered for a moment before asking his second and third brothers beside him, ¡°Does your little one in the family have a Warrior job?¡± Third Tu quickly said, ¡°Yes! My youngest son is a Heavy Armor Warrior!¡± ¡°Buy it, no matter how much they¡¯re asking for, buy it!¡± Eldest Tu decided without hesitation, ¡°This time, our Tu Family must establish a connection with the War God.¡± The man on the side hesitated for a moment and asked, ¡°Their request is to trade items¡­¡± ¡°Trade? What do they want?¡± Eldest Tu frowned, somewhat puzzled. ¡°Everything else is fine, but they specifically want the Illusory Stone and the Dark Gold Mother Stone¡­¡± Hearing this, Eldest Tu¡¯s expression froze upon hearing this. ¡°Illusory Stone?¡± Indeed, the Tu Family had it. He had kept it with him all along. The Illusory Stone was an orange-tier item, quite rare, but it didn¡¯t serve a significant purpose. Besides being used for crafting equipment, its only function was to allow the user to teleport to a random location. If someone encountered a life-threatening situation, perhaps they could use it to escape. However, the range of this random teleportation was immensely vast, covering almost the entire world. Some people had used the Illusory Stone and ended up being teleported to the pr region, nearly freezing to death there. As for the Dark Gold Mother Stone, it was simply a mineral used exclusively for crafting equipment. ¡°Alright, I understand. You can go now.¡± Eldest Tu waved his hand and then opened the auction system, conducting a quick search. Soon enough, the Ant King set appeared before him. ¡°Other materials are easy toe by, but two Illusory Stones and two Dark Gold Mother Stones¡­ it seems like they want to craft equipment.¡± Eldest Tu stroked his chin and looked at the auctioneer. ¡°Jiang Shan¡­¡± ¡°Someone from the Jiang Family? Third brother, check who this guy is.¡± Third Tu nodded in response and quickly started the investigation. In a short while, Third Tu looked up and said, ¡°Eldest brother, he is the deputy city lord of Yicheng Base City, and also the second-inmand of the Jiang Family.¡± ¡°The Jiang Family¡¯s second-inmand¡­¡± Tu Family¡¯s eldest brother pondered for a moment and then directly initiated amunication with Jiang Shan. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the head of the Tu family, Tu Fei. Are you Jiang Shan?¡± Tu Fei cleared his throat and asked calmly. On the other end, Jiang Shan was stunned upon hearing this name. His first reaction was that Tu Fei hade to demand an exnation. After all, Tu Fei¡¯s son had died in their territory not long ago. Although he couldn¡¯t detect any emotional fluctuations from Tu Fei¡¯s voice right now, it was still uncertain! ¡°Hello, may I ask why you¡¯re looking for me?¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s expression changed slightly as he asked carefully. ¡°The Ant King set auctioned at the auction house, was it posted by you?¡± Tu Fei, listening to Jiang Shan¡¯s respectful tone, smiled with satisfaction, ¡°The college entrance exam is about to begin. Doesn¡¯t Deputy City Lord Jiang have any promising juniors? Why would you auction such a rare set?¡± Upon hearing Tu Fei¡¯s voice, Jiang Shan was also taken aback. Did it seem like this person came solely for the Ant King set? It seemed that the Tu Family was not yet fully aware of what happened to Tu Feiding. ¡°I need to craft something, and there are some materials I can¡¯t obtain. So, I can only put this set up for auction. As for promising juniors, 1 haven¡¯t even gotten married yet, so where would the juniorse from?¡± Jiang Shan skillfully tried to mislead. Tu Fei nodded slightly and said, ¡°I see. However, this set is only Level 15. Isn¡¯t it a bit expensive for you to ask for two Illusory Stones and two Dark Gold Mother Stones?¡± ¡°So, you¡¯vee to bargain, huh? 1 don¡¯t think the price is high.¡± Jiang Shan didn¡¯t hesitate and said directly, ¡°After all, there are only two months left until the college entrance exam. You also want the younger generation of your family to catch the eye of the War God, right?¡± H H ¡°One fixed price. If you can¡¯t ept it, just forget it. If you don¡¯t buy it, someone else will,¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile, ¡°Isn¡¯t that right? Alright, 1 have something else to attend to, so I¡¯ll¡­¡± Before Jiang Shan could finish his sentence, an urgent voice suddenly sounded in Tu Fei¡¯s ear. We¡¯ve found information! Tu Fei Ding, the Fifth Young Master of the Tu Family, was killed in Yicheng Base City! He was killed by someone named Mo Xiao, and it happened twice in a row!¡± ¡°What?! Yicheng Base City!¡± Tu Fei stood up instantly upon hearing this news. ¡°Yes! It seems like this information was suppressed by the Jiang Family in Yicheng..¡± Chapter 59 - 59: Divine Forging Technique, Running Away? Chapter 59: Divine Forging Technique, Running Away? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios YichengBase City? Mo Xiao? The Jiang family?? Hearing these three names, Tu Fei slowly looked at the Ant King Set in front of him. ¡°The Jiang family¡­ is your family, right?¡± Tu Fei asked coldly. ¡°Ahaha, goodbye.¡± Without thinking twice, Jiang Shan ended the call abruptly. H 11 As he looked at the ended call interface, Tu Fei felt the veins on his forehead pulsating with boundless anger surging within him. ¡°Someone!! Prepare the teleportation array! I¡¯m going to Yicheng Base City myself! I will confront this so-called Mo Xiao and the Jiang family! I will avenge Feiding and seek justice!!¡± At this moment, outside Mo Xiao¡¯s cheap rental house, Mo Xiao, who was about to enter, suddenly sneezed. ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Xiao rubbed his nose and looked around. ¡°Is someone badmouthing me?¡± ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s continue leveling up.¡± Mo Xiao shook his head and walked straight into the room. Casually sitting at the table, he opened his character panel. He looked at the skill he had never carefully examined before. [Divine Forging Technique: The most advanced forging technique in the world. It has a 95% sess rate in forging, a 50% chance of quality enhancement, a 50% chance of attribute amplification, and a 50% chance of skill augmentation. Requires blueprints.] With a thought from Mo Xiao, an illusory panel directly appeared in front of him. Six blueprints appeared on it. The first five wereponents of the Blue Ant Set, and thest one was the blueprint for the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre. ¡°Let¡¯s see what¡¯s needed for these¡­¡± Mo Xiao casually opened the blueprint for the Blue Ant Set and browsed through it. The Blue Ant Set was only a low-level blue equipment, and almost all cksmiths could forge it. It just required a massive amount of ck Ant materials. And after brushing through two waves of Purgatory-level dungeons and one Nightmare-level dungeon, Mo Xiao had umted quite a lot of ck Ant materials. Mo Xiao nced at it and murmured, ¡°From the looks of it¡­ I can forge at least 23 sets of the Blue Ant Set.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s try it out.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao directly activated the Divine Forging Technique. Immediately, dozens of ck ant materials appeared in front of Mo Xiao, and then a golden hammer suddenly struck the ck ant materials. A dazzling blue light shed from the ck Ant material. Soon, an exquisite ck Ant Helmet appeared in front of Mo Xiao. [You sessfully used the Divine Forging Technique to forge the ck Ant Helmet!]] [The power of the Divine Forging Technique has been triggered, increasing the defense of the ck Ant Helmet by 50%!] ¡°Wow, really?¡± Although the description mentioned a certain probability of enhancing attributes, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t expect it to happen on the first attempt. Mo Xiao rubbed his hands excitedly and continued to forge. [You used the Divine Forging Technique to sessfully forge the ck Ant Breastte!] [You used the Divine Forging Technique to sessfully forge the ck Ant Greaves!] [You sessfully used the Divine Forging Technique to forge the ck Ant Giant Sword!] [Congrattions! You have sessfully forged the ck Ant Set! The power of the Divine Forging Technique is triggered, and the set is sublimated into the ck Soldier Ant Set! ] ¡°What the¡­?¡± Looking at the system prompts, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. He hadn¡¯t even rubbed it, and it directly upgraded to a purple set? If he rubbed it now, it would probably turn into a purple-tier equipment! Looking at the set in front of him, he took a deep breath and continued forging. Forging actually consumed mana, and for ordinary people, they could only forge a limited number of items in a day. But for Mo Xiao, this bug, forging these items wouldn¡¯t even use up his leftover mana. Half an hourter, 13 sets of armor were neatly arranged in front of Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao had extremely good luck. Although they were ck Ant materials, he managed to sublimate seven sets into the ck Soldier Ant Set. Looking at the sets in front of him, Mo Xiao opened Jiang Shan¡¯s trading panel without thinking and tossed these sets to him. ¡°I¡¯ve forged some sets. You can help me sell them¡­¡± As soon as Mo Xiao sent the message, the door of his house was suddenly pushed open. ¡°Mo Xiao! Come with me!¡± The person who came was none other than Jiang Shan. Watching Jiang Shan panting, Mo Xiao furrowed his brow with curiosity. ¡°What¡¯s the matter now?¡± Ignoring Mo Xiao¡¯s question, Jiang Shan dragged him out of the room. ¡°Jiang He is waiting for you at the city gate. You two need to run away immediately. With your strength, it shouldn¡¯t be too dangerous for you and Jiang He in the wastnd.¡± ¡°What happened? Why are you so anxious? Are the monsters going to attack the city?¡± Mo Xiao followed behind Jiang Shan in confusion. Jiang Shan nced at Mo Xiao with some helplessness. ¡°If it were just monsters attacking the city, it would be fine, as 1 could directly intervene!¡± ¡°Then what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Tu Feiding is the son of the Tu family head. Although we forcibly suppressed the information, somehow the Tu family found out. With the unyielding character of the Tu family, they will definitelye over to kill us! So, for your safety, it¡¯s better to stay outside for now!¡± Jiang Shan said seriously. ¡°Tu Family¡­¡± Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully, ¡°Alright, but I¡¯m going out to grow up¡­ Why did you ask Jiang He to follow me?¡± ¡°Like 1 have a choice! If that girl finds out that the Tu family is after you, she will definitely confront them! With Tu Feiding¡¯s character, do you think his father is someone easy to deal with? It¡¯s better for her to go out and level up with you!¡± Jiang Shan said truthfully. ¡°Later, I¡¯ll send you a few good leveling spots. You can take Jiang He to level up there. Once you reach level 20, I¡¯ll give you the coordinates of the secret realm. You can team up with Jiang He and directly enter the secret realm to level up.¡± ¡°I know the location of a secret realm,¡± Mo Xiao said after some thought. Seeing this, Jiang Shan nced at Mo Xiao and asked, ¡°Where?¡± ¡°Inside Deadman¡¯s Canyon,¡± Mo Xiao answered truthfully. ¡°Are you crazy? A Bronze-level boss guards that secret realm! You¡¯re not capable of dealing with it now!¡± Jiang Shan rebuked upon hearing this. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I already had Su Jiner help me kill that dragon. I can go in directly.¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan but ultimately chose to conceal the fact that he had killed the Bronze-level boss. H H Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan opened his mouth but eventually said, ¡°Fine, you¡¯re impressive, being able tomand that youngdy¡­ ¡°Alright, if you can go in, then go. Just don¡¯t go too deep inside. I¡¯ve been to that secret realm too. There are plenty of spirit fruits, and as long as you don¡¯t venture too far in, it should be fine. The outskirts are filled with level 20 monsters, and the experience gain is substantial.¡± Jiang Shan thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°By the way, if possible, it¡¯s best to talk to Miss Su and ask for her help in mediating the situation between you and the Tu family. After all, it¡¯s better to resolve conflicts than to hold grudges..¡± Chapter 60 - 60: Jiangnan Tu Family Chapter 60: Jiangnan Tu Family Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°It¡¯s better to resolve enmity than to keep it alive?¡± Hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s words, Mo Xiao could not help but sneer. ¡°Are you still so naive?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan coldly and said, ¡°1 killed his son. How can such a grudge be resolved?¡± ¡°Miss Su is a disciple of the God of War. Perhaps¡­¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan as if he were an idiot and said, very speechlessly, ¡°Are you really the deputy city lord? Can¡¯t you understand such a simple thing? ¡°His son wanted to kill me, so naturally, 1 killed him. Now, there are only two possibilities: either 1 have enough strength to destroy the Tu Family, or he finds me and kills me directly, with no other options in between. ¡°Even if the War God intervenes to mediate for me, he won¡¯t give up seeking revenge and will try every possible means to kill me in secret,¡± Mo Xiao said firmly, ¡°From the moment his son attacked me, there were only two possibilities for me and the Tu Family¡ªfight to the death.¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang Shan fell silent for a moment. Did Jiang Shan not understand what Mo Xiao said? It was impossible for him not to understand, but he didn¡¯t want Mo Xiao to bear such great pressure so quickly. Although this kid was outstanding now, he couldn¡¯t possibly match up against the massive Tu Family. Since they had a connection, they should use that to temporarily ease the pressure until Mo Xiao became strong enough.. By then, even if the Tu Family wanted to act, it wouldn¡¯t be easy. Ignoring Jiang Shan, who was lost in thought, Mo Xiao asked directly, ¡°By the way, where is the Tu Family?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao suddenly ask this, Jiang Shan¡¯s heart trembled slightly, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± ¡°If they go too far, 1 don¡¯t mind paying a visit to the Tu Family,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°Among the human race, killing each other is forbidden! It¡¯s a strict rule on Blue Star!¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s expression instantly became tense, and he hurriedly said. Mo Xiao sneered, ¡°Kill? Go and ask how many people have died at the hands of Tu Feiding? Their Tu Family definitely has more than one Tu Feiding.¡± H ii ¡°Or is the Tu Family a noble n among our human race, different from others?¡± Mo Xiao asked further. Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s domineering appearance, Jiang Shan could only smile helplessly, ¡°Alright, alright, what you said makes sense. But unless absolutely necessary, you shouldn¡¯t directly go to the Tu Family. They are the number one family in the Jiangnan Base City, controlling the entire city. You should stay calm.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m not as stupid as you think.¡± Mo Xiao nodded slightly. Jiang Shan smiled wryly, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go. Jiang He should be waiting at the city gate of the base city. I¡¯ve given her permission to leave the city. You two should leave quickly.¡± ¡°Fine.¡± With that, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t waste any time talking to Jiang Shan. He immediately activated his Shadow Step and disappeared instantly. Watching Mo Xiao disappear, Jiang Shan was astonished, ¡°What skill is that? How did he suddenly vanish?¡± ¡°How did that kid do it? Why does he have so many powerful skills and equipment?¡± Jiang Shan looked puzzled at the spot where Mo Xiao had been standing. ¡°Jiang Shan! Where¡¯s that brat Mo Xiao? Quickly make him leave! Jiangnan¡¯s Tu Fei ising over!¡± Just then, Fang Chang¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Shan¡¯s ear. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already sent that little brat away with Jiang He. As long as we can stall that old guy, we¡¯ll be fine,¡± Jiang Shan replied. At the same time, at the city gate of Yicheng Base City. Jiang He stood there, looking confused, clearly having no idea why Jiang Shan asked her toe out. ¡°Mo Xiao, you¡¯re here?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao suddenly appear, Jiang He also brightened up, not waiting for her to speak. Mo Xiao dragged Jiang He out of the base city. Sensing Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, Jiang He couldn¡¯t help but blush and asked softly, ¡°Mo Xiao¡­ what are we going to do?¡± ¡°Just avoiding trouble. Jiang Shan is afraid you¡¯ll cause trouble, so he asked me to take you away,¡± Mo Xiao exined calmly. ¡°Trouble? What do you mean by that?¡± Jiang He seemed quite puzzled and asked with some confusion. ¡°Earlier, when Su Wei tried to rob me with Tu Feiding, 1 killed him. You know about that, right?¡± Mo Xiao asked. ¡°Yeah, I know,¡± Jiang He nodded slightly. Mo Xiao continued, ¡°It¡¯s Tu Feiding¡¯s old man who¡¯sing to kill me. It seems like he¡¯s the head of some powerful family in Jiangnan Base City. He probably wants to get rid of me, so 1 decided to run away first.¡± ¡°He¡¯sing to bother you again! It¡¯s clearly Tu Feiding¡¯s issue!¡± Jiang He said, displeased, as if she wanted to go back and reason with him directly. Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°This is a survival-of-the-fittest world, reason won¡¯t work. In this world, the fist is the only reason. When 1 have enough strength, then I¡¯ll go back and reason with them.¡± ¡°Okay..¡± Twenty minutester. In the City Lord¡¯s Residence of Yicheng Base City. Tu Fei sat quietly in the city lord¡¯s seat, sipping tea with a gloomy expression. Before long, Fang Chang hurriedly arrived with Jiang Shan. ¡°Sorry, sorry, we¡¯rete¡­¡± As soon as Fang Chang opened the door, his expression changed for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. ¡°Are you the City Lord of Yicheng Base City?¡± Looking at Fang Chang, Tu Fei slowly put down his teacup.. Chapter 61 - 61: Jiangnan Tu Family (2) Chapter 61: Jiangnan Tu Family (2) Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, it¡¯s me.¡± Fang Chang took a deep breath and said politely, ¡°May 1 know who you are?¡± ¡°I am the head of the Tu family in Jiangnan Base City, and also the father of the current lord of Jiangnan Base City,¡± Tu Fei said very calmly. ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s Old Tu, my apologies,¡± Fang Chang continued, trying to please him with a smile. Upon hearing this, Tu Fei raised an eyebrow slightly, ¡°1 am not that old. Just call me Patriarch Tu.¡± ¡°Alright, Patriarch Tu. May 1 know the reason for your visit today?¡± Fang Chang acted as if he had no idea what had happened, remaining calm. Tu Fei frowned upon hearing Fang Chang¡¯s question, ¡°What? Don¡¯t tell me Lord Fang is unaware of my son¡¯s death?¡± ¡°Your son? May I ask for your son¡¯s name?¡± Fang Chang pretended to be surprised and curious. Tu Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched slightly, suppressing his anger, he calmly said, ¡°Tu Feiding. Lord Fang, don¡¯t you know?¡± ¡°Oh! So Tu Feiding is your son! No wonder such a handsome young man came from our city! Truly, the apple doesn¡¯t fall far from the tree!¡± Fang Chang immediately started ttering. But this ttery had no effect on Tu Fei, who said directly, ¡°Enough with the ttery. Since you know who my son is, you should know who killed him, right?¡± ¡°Well, this¡­ Patriarch Tu, the matter with Tu Fei is quiteplicated and involves many people. Some of them are not within our jurisdiction,¡± Fang Chang hesitated, his tone containing a hint of uncertainty. Tu Fei finished his tea in one gulp, ¡°I fear no trouble, just tell me the name!¡± ¡°In that case, let me first tell you the sequence of events regarding Tu Feiding¡¯s matter,¡± Fang Chang narrowed his eyes and continued. ¡°Sequence of events? Are you trying to buy time?¡± Tu Fei held the teacup, but his grip seemed to tighten. ¡°No, no, 1 would never dare to dy such an important matter concerning someone¡¯s life!¡± Fang Chang exaggeratedly said, ¡°However, you should know the iron rule on Blue Star that humans cannot kill each other.¡± ¡°Then 1 should bring the killer of my son to justice even more!¡± Tu Fei said coldly. The ferocious-looking Tu Fei in front of Fang Chang chuckled and hurriedly said, ¡°Calm down first. This matter is rted to the reputation of your Tu family!¡± ¡°Reputation? My family¡¯s Fei Ding is just a little naughty. How can he be rted to my Tu family¡¯s reputation?¡± Tu Fei smiled disdainfully, not taking Fang Chang¡¯s words to heart at all. ¡°Or is City Lord Fang trying to use his reputation to exert pressure on me?¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare, I wouldn¡¯t dare. Then I¡¯ll talk to you about Young Master Tu first.¡± Fang Chang smiled and sat down on the guest seat at the side, as if he didn¡¯t care that Tu Fei was sitting in the City Lord¡¯s seat. Tu Fei frowned and said, ¡°I know better than you what my Fei Ding has done. 1 don¡¯t need you to repeat it for me!¡± ¡°Understood, understood. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll just have a simple chat.¡± Fang Chang continued, ¡°Young Master Tu is a special ss that has yet toplete the second transition at level 30. Closebat mages have beening to our base city in the past few days to obtain materials for changing sses.¡± ¡°Because of his personality, he likes some special materials and equipment. He will try his best to get whatever he likes.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not here to listen to your story! Tell me! Who killed my son! Otherwise, don¡¯t me me for tearing down your City Lord Residence!¡± Tu Fei said fiercely, and the tea in the teacup boiled faintly. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t be anxious. It¡¯s precisely because of Young Master Tu¡¯s personality that he¡¯s being used by someone with ulterior motives! In our base city, there¡¯s a small family called the Su family. Their young master has taken a fancy to an orange-level weapon and asked Young Master Tu to take action through some channels,¡± Fang Chang said seriously. ¡°The Su family? The Eldest Young Master? What right does he have to make my son take action?!¡± ¡°Perhaps¡­ they have simr interests?¡± Fang Chang shrugged and said, ¡°It was this invitation of his that directly killed Young Master Tu.¡± ¡°¡­¡± When Tu Fei heard this, he fell silent for a moment. After a while, he raised his head and said, ¡°Continue.¡± Looking at Tu Fei, who had no reaction, Fang Chang was also stunned. A bad feeling instantly surged in his heart. At this moment, in the Su family¡¯s residence in Yicheng Base City. ¡°Aiyo, my little ancestor! What exactly did you do! How did you be like this? Does it hurt? Don¡¯t worry, the world haspletely be a game. As long as we find a powerful healer, everything will be fine.¡± Su Wei¡¯s father looked at the broken arm with heartache. At this moment, there was an urgent knock on the door. ¡°Who is it? Don¡¯t you know that I have something urgent to attend to? Get lost!¡± Su Wei¡¯s father roared angrily. As soon as he finished speaking, a violent vibration instantly sounded at the door, and the door was instantly smashed open. In the next moment, two burly middle-aged men walked directly into the Su family. ¡°!!!¡± Su Wei¡¯s father¡¯s body trembled when he saw the two people rushing in. ¡°This, this is impossible! This is a top-notch anti-theft door! It has 10,000 durability points! Why did it explode directly!¡± ¡°This kind of trash anti-theft door is top-notch? People from small ces are really useless!¡± The person looked at the two of them tirelessly and said, ¡°Which one of you is Su Wei?¡± When Su Wei¡¯s father heard this, he directly hugged Su Wei and said, ¡°What else do you want! This matter is my son¡¯s fault! He has received the punishment he deserves! What else do you want?¡± Looking at this person¡¯s actions, the two of them instantly locked onto Su Wei, who was in his arms. ¡°How is it? A life for a life! It¡¯s only right and proper to repay a debt! Because this little brat killed our nephew! He has to pay with his life!¡± ¡°What?! Although my son sent someone to kill someone! He didn¡¯t kill him! What does it have to do with my Su Wei?! If you want to find him, go find Mo Xiao! He killed him!¡± Su Wei¡¯s father shouted. When the two of them heard this, they narrowed their eyes and looked at each other. One of them turned around and left. ¡°Indirectly killing someone is also killing someone. Boss said that anyone rted to Fei Ding¡¯s death deserves to die¡­¡± ¡°You guys!¡± -19,870 -20,078 In an instant, a saber beam shed, and two huge numbers instantly shed above their heads. Immediately, the two of them fell to the ground at the same time and lost their breath. Looking at the two people who had been killed, the burly man directly sent a message. ¡°Big Brother, Su Wei is done. We¡¯ll deal with his father too!¡± At this moment, inside the lord¡¯s mansion, Tu Fei was listening to Fang Chang¡¯s nonsense, which was just a desperate attempt to buy time. As a message shed past, Tu Fei directly interrupted Fang Chang¡¯s words. ¡°Alright, City Lord Fang, you should be done talking nonsense, right?¡± ¡°But what I¡¯m saying is all true! How can you call it nonsense?¡± Fang Chang said earnestly. ¡°Fine, let¡¯s call it the truth then. I¡¯ve already taken care of Su Wei and the Su family head. Now, Fang Chang, all you need to do is tell me where Mo Xiao, the one who killed my son, is. Otherwise, don¡¯t me my Tu family for not giving you face as the lord of Yicheng Base City.¡± Tu Fei stood up slowly, a hint of murderous intent shing in his eyes. Hearing this, Fang Chang¡¯s pupils contracted sharply. While he had guessed that Tu Fei was contacting someone, he didn¡¯t expect him to directly kill Su Wei. ¡°You!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Tu Fei said coldly. ¡°Alright, Mo Xiao is not in Yicheng right now, and 1 don¡¯t know where he went,¡± Fang Chang took a deep breath and continued, ¡°Even if you find him, do you dare toy a hand on him?¡± ¡°Dare? Hahaha! Of course, I dare! He dared to kill my son, why wouldn¡¯t I dare to kill him back!¡± ¡°But he¡¯s Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s friend and the War God¡¯s designated disciple!¡± Fang Chang gritted his teeth, saying viciously. ¡°War God?!¡± Hearing this term, Tu Fei¡¯s expression suddenly changed. ¡°Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Isn¡¯t the quota for the War God¡¯s disciples still uncertain!¡± Chapter 62 - 62: Jiang He Strikes! Powerful Elf Archer Chapter 62: Jiang He Strikes! Powerful Elf Archer Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios At this moment, outside Yicheng Base City. ¡°Mo Xiao¡­ where are we going?¡± Jiang He looked at the increasingly high-level monsters around them and asked with some unease. ¡°Just heading to a secret realm.¡± Mo Xiao said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s safe for you on the way.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Looking at Jiang He¡¯s worried expression, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow strangely and said, ¡°You weren¡¯t afraid of the elite and boss monsters in the ck Ant Nest, which were at level 20-30, but now you¡¯re afraid of these monsters below level 10?¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang He blushed instantly, and her worried look disappeared in an instant, returning to her usual calm demeanor. She said unhappily, ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re such a blockhead! I can¡¯t be bothered with you.¡± Mo Xiao heard this, scratched his head with a strange expression, and didn¡¯t say anything. He simply led Jiang He quietly towards Deadman¡¯s Canyon. After defeating the Skeletal Dragonst time, Mo Xiao indeed gained ess to the secret realm and could directly teleport there. However, only Mo Xiao could be teleported. Although Jiang He and Mo Xiao were in a team now, they couldn¡¯t be teleported together. Mo Xiao did consider leaving Jiang He behind and going alone. But that would be too heartless, and Mo Xiao was also afraid that Jiang Shan woulde straight to him. After weighing the pros and cons, Mo Xiao decided to take Jiang He with him. Although it was a bit far, with their current levels, they didn¡¯t need to bother with the low-level monsters on the way. They could rush over with all their strength, and it wouldn¡¯t take long. The two of them walked for about two hours before gradually entering the canyon. The surrounding environment became increasingly harsh. ¡°Is this Deadman¡¯s Canyon? Are there many zombie ghosts and the like?¡± Jiang He looked at the surroundings and instinctively took a step closer to Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao nodded and said, ¡°Yes, there are zombies and skeletal dragons and the like. I haven¡¯t seen any ghosts, so I¡¯m not sure.¡± ¡°The secret realm you mentioned¡­ it¡¯s not this kind of zombie-infested ce, right?¡± Jiang He swallowed nervously, seeming to be very afraid of such things. ¡°No, your uncle said it¡¯s a ce with a lot of spiritual fruits, probably a fruit forest inside.¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said. ¡°I see. That¡¯s good. If it¡¯s a ce like Deadman¡¯s Canyon¡­ I¡¯d rather not go,¡± Jiang He said with relief. While the two of them were chatting aimlessly, a cry for help suddenly sounded not far away, ¡°Two of you!! Please help us! We can¡¯t hold on much longer!!¡± Hearing this voice, both of them frowned and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a team of seven people fighting against a huge skeleton monster. However, among the seven, the health bars of five had dropped to below one-third, and they were fleeing rapidly. But it seemed that this skeleton monster had some special skills, and no matter how they ran, they couldn¡¯t get too far away. ¡°Please, save us! As long as you save us, we¡¯ll give you anything you want!¡± The man who seemed to be the leader pleaded. Seeing this scene, Jiang He¡¯s first reaction was to step forward to help, but in the next moment, she stopped and looked at Mo Xiao with an inquiring gaze, ¡°Mo Xiao¡­¡± ¡°Feel free. If you want to help, just go ahead.¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He¡¯s expression and directly stopped, but he had no intention of taking action himself. Jiang He understood Mo Xiao¡¯s meaning and without a word, she took out the Bow of Stars and prepared to shoot. ¡°Healing Arrow!¡± + 500 + 500 + 500 With a series of green numbers shing, the health bars of the seven people instantly returned to a healthy state. ¡°Do you have any healing skills?¡± Seeing Jiang He¡¯s skill, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes also showed a hint of curiosity. The Elf Archer was also a hidden profession, and Mo Xiao really didn¡¯t know what skills this profession had. In the next moment, Jiang He¡¯s eyes glowed with a faint green light, and then a green arrow whizzed through the air, splitting into ten small arrows in the sky, heading straight for the skeleton monster. ¡°Explosive Arrow!¡± -300! -300! -300! In an instant, countless red numbers generated by violence kept shing above the skeleton monster¡¯s head. The high damage instantly drew the monster¡¯s hatred towards Jiang He. ¡°It seems that the damage isn¡¯t low. Hidden professions are quite powerful.¡± Watching Jiang He¡¯s performance, Mo Xiao muttered softly. This damage was indeed nothingpared to Mo Xiao¡¯s. But to others, it was already very terrifying damage. Even the HP of the huge skeleton monster decreased by more than half in an instant, leaving only a trace of health. Seeing the skeleton monster with just a sliver of health left, Jiang He was about to shoot thest arrow to finish it off.. But suddenly, a barely three-digit damage figure appeared on the skeleton monster¡¯s head. In an instant, it took away thest bit of the monster¡¯s health, and the skeleton monster fell to the ground with a loud crash, turning into a pile of bones. ¡öI 11 Seeing this scene, the seven people directly cheered, while Mo Xiao and Jiang He frowned unhappily. Putting aside everything else, just the fact that Jiang He had saved them, this boss should be given to her. Directly rushing in without a word and snatching the boss was indeed quite annoying. ¡°Sorry, sorry, 1 got excited and took the boss when I saw it was almost dead-¡± A swordsman in leather armor walked out of the team, visibly stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang He¡¯s appearance. ¡°I saved you, and you just snatched the boss like that, isn¡¯t that too much?¡± Jiang He asked unhappily. The swordsman looked apologetic and said, ¡°1 didn¡¯t mean to, beautiful miss. Please don¡¯t be angry. Getting angry will cause wrinkles-¡± At the swordsman¡¯s words, Jiang He visibly paused for a moment, her lips twitching slightly. Seeing her reaction, the swordsman said confidently, ¡°How about this? Aspensation, we can help you level up. The seven of us should be more reliable than that weak mage, right?¡± ¡°Weak mage?¡± Mo Xiao also paused upon hearing this description. ¡°Are you talking about me?¡± The swordsman ignored Mo Xiao and continued looking at Jiang He, saying, ¡°What do you think? If you agree, I can give you half of the loot from this skeleton monster. Moreover, you can choose the loot from future monsters we kill first. How about it?¡± ¡°Besides, being with a handsome swordsman like me will definitely improve your moodpared to sticking with that loser guy, right?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the ordinary yet confident swordsman in front of her, Jiang He nearly pped him. Jiang He took a deep breath,pletely ignoring him, and turned back to Mo Xiao¡¯s side. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s not bother with them.¡± ¡°Hmm? Don¡¯t want the loot from the skeleton monster?¡± Mo Xiao teased. ¡°My Jiang family doesn¡¯tck these things! Just consider it a treat for the dogs..¡± Chapter 63 - 63: The Secrets of the Wood Chapter 63: The Secrets of the Wood Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Stop!¡± Seeing Mo Xiao and Jiang He turn around and leave, the swordsman¡¯s face immediately darkened as he shouted sternly, ¡°Who allowed you to leave?!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao sneered andpletely ignored him, continuing to walk steadily forward. After all, who would bother with a wild dog barking incessantly? Seeing that theypletely ignored him, the swordsman became furious and directly rushed at them with his sword. Sensing the movement behind him, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression changed, and he raised the staff that had transformed in his hand, lightly blocking the attack. ¡°Ding!¡± With a crisp sound, the swordsman was sent flying, and more than half of his blood was instantly emptied. ¡°Your damage is really low; 1 can¡¯t even kill you with triple damage.¡± Mo Xiao said lightly, his eyes shing with a hint of killing intent. For Mo Xiao, anyone who dared toy a hand on him was his enemy. When facing enemies, he should eliminate thempletely. On the side, Jiang He seemed to have noticed Mo Xiao¡¯s thoughts and hurriedly held his arm. ¡°Mo Xiao, calm down; it¡¯s just a small conflict.¡± ¡°He attacked first.¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s tone was icy cold. ¡°But you also retaliated, and he got punished. That should be enough.¡± Jiang He continued to console. H H Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment, and his gaze instantly turned cold as he said in a cold voice, ¡°Enough? There is nothing that can be brushed off with a simple ¡®enough¡¯.¡± ¡°Mo Xiao?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze turning colder, Jiang He wanted to say something else. But she found that Mo Xiao had already disappeared. -10,504! -10,504! Before Jiang He could react, a series of numbers exceeding 10,000 appeared above the heads of the six men. The swordsman, witnessing hispanions¡¯ health bars instantly plummet to zero, showed panic in his eyes. ¡°If you attack me, be prepared to die.¡± Mo Xiao looked at the swordsman with icy eyes. ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t bother with the stuttering swordsman. Instead, he turned his gaze to Jiang He, who looked a little subdued. ¡°Miss Jiang, remember, this is a dog-eat-dog world, a highly dangerous world! Anything that threatens our existence should be eliminated directly! ¡°If you want to show off your holiness in front of others and be called a saint, don¡¯t me me for not being kind to you!¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao swung his sword. -105,040! A number as high as one hundred thousand appeared above the swordsman¡¯s head, and he fell lifeless to the ground. At the same time, a green light instantly flew out from the swordsman¡¯s body and directly entered Mo Xiao¡¯s body, leaving a peculiar pattern on the back of his hand. ¡°What is it?¡± Looking at the sudden appearance of the green light, Mo Xiao frowned and quickly opened his interface. A debuff appeared at the bottom of the interface. [Resentment of the Wood n: You have killed the direct descendant of the Wood n, and the entire Wood¡¯s Secret Realm will harbor great hostility towards you. Please be cautious!] ¡°The Wood n? Is there such a family and special skill?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the message but didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. Instead, he turned to look at Jiang He, who was a little low-spirited. ¡°Let¡¯s go. If you don¡¯t want to follow a murderer like me, I can send you back.¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang He shook her head slightly and said, ¡°Do we really have to be so ruthless?¡± ¡°If people don¡¯t provoke me, I won¡¯t provoke them. If people provoke me, I will retaliate,¡± Mo Xiao said lightly, ¡°When he attacked, he should have been prepared to be killed by me. We are leveling up to protect ourselves.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No buts. If that attack just now wasn¡¯t directed at us but at a weak person, what do you think his fate would be?¡± Mo Xiao interrupted directly, ¡°Remember, cut the grass and remove the roots.¡± H 11 Seeing Jiang He remain silent, Mo Xiao continued, ¡°Do what needs to be done. Although I¡¯m not a good person, those who casually harm others are definitely not good either. Killing them is to protect the weak.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Jiang He said softly with her head down. Mo Xiao sighed lightly and hesitated for a moment. He awkwardly patted Jiang He¡¯s head and said, ¡°Get used to it; the Jiang family won¡¯t be able to protect you forever.¡± Feeling Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, Jiang He¡¯s face flushed. ¡°Okay¡­ thank you, let¡¯s go.¡± After this incident, the two set off again towards the secret realm. Under their full-speed progress, they arrived at the entrance of the secret realm in no time. After a few days, the gigantic Skeletal Dragon reappeared. ¡°A level 25 boss?!!¡± Before Mo Xiao could speak, Jiang He eximed in shock when she saw the Skeletal Dragon. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have permission to enter the secret realm. It won¡¯t attack us.¡± Although Mo Xiao said so, he wasn¡¯t entirely certain himself because the information he received from the system was given after defeating the dragon earlier. Now that he had brought a teammate with him, who knew if it would still be useful. ¡°Really?¡± Jiang He asked with a pale face. From her perspective, they were no match for a boss with such attributes. ¡°Rest assured.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he led Jiang He inrge strides towards the location of the Skeletal Dragon. As Mo Xiao approached, the Skeletal Dragon¡¯s dark eye sockets instantly ignited with blue mes. Jiang He was so scared that she almost stumbled and fell. But as soon as the Skeletal Dragon saw Mo Xiao, the blue soul mes immediately extinguished. Obviously, people with permission could bring their teammates in directly, which made Mo Xiao heave a sigh of relief. In fact, Mo Xiao was already prepared to use the Dragon God¡¯s Descent again. Fortunately, there was no need to waste it. Soon, the two of them arrived at a teleportation array. [You have arrived at the secret realm teleportation array. Do you want to activate it?] ¡°Activate.¡± [A teammate has been detected. Do you want to spend 200 experience points to enter together?] Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued, ¡°Activate it.¡± [Beep, 200 experience points consumed! Teleportation array activated!] In an instant, Mo Xiao felt a dazzling light sh before his eyes. Before he could open them, sounds of joyful cheers rang in his ears. ¡°Wow! Mo Xiao,e and see!! It¡¯s so beautiful here!!¡± Jiang He called out with excitement. Mo Xiao slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a beautiful orchard, surrounded by vitality. Colorful flowers bloomed on tree tops and danced with the breeze, emitting waves of fragrance. [Congrattions on reaching the Wood Secret Realm. Experience bonus increased by 100%. Please explore on your own!] ¡°Increases experience by 100%? No wonder it leveled up so quickly.¡± [The resentment of the Wood n has been triggered. All creatures in the Wood Secret Realm will be filled with resentment against you.. Please be careful!] Chapter 64 - 64: The Secrets of the Wood (2) Chapter 64: The Secrets of the Wood (2) Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Looking at this system prompt, Mo Xiao¡¯s brow furrowed. ¡°How could the grudge of the Wood n appear in this ce?¡± Jiang He, who was admiring the scenery excitedly beside him, suddenly noticed that Mo Xiao was motionless. ¡°Mo Xiao? What¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He in silence and asked, ¡°Did you notice anything strange about those people outside just now?¡± When Mo Xiao mentioned those people again, Jiang He¡¯s expression also changed slightly. ¡°1 don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong¡­ 1 just couldn¡¯t detect any information about them, no matter how hard I tried.¡± ¡°With their strength, their levels shouldn¡¯t be much higher than ours. Maybe they used some special items?¡± Mo Xiao pondered. Hearing this, Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully. ¡°It seems they really came from this secret realm.¡± ¡°From the secret realm? What do you mean?¡± Jiang He asked curiously. Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He and finally told her about the debuff. ¡°This¡­ This is so strange. Why would such a debuff exist?¡± Jiang He was astonished. If she hadn¡¯t seen the buff on Mo Xiao herself, she wouldn¡¯t have believed it. ¡°Perhaps¡­ they are not people from our world but belong to this secret realm!¡± Mo Xiao said with a serious expression. ¡°ording to this situation, this secret realm won¡¯t be too simple¡­¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Just as the two were pondering what to do next, the sound of something heavynding suddenly came from behind them. Mo Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a giant peach had dropped not far from them. As the two were puzzled, the peach suddenly opened a pair of ck eyes, and two green leaves hung beside its body like ears. Holding a not-too-long tree branch with a durian hanging on it, it looked like a meteor hammer. ¡°What is this thing? A monster? Why does it look like a peach?¡± Mo Xiao was also stunned, looking at the peach-like creature and using the Detection Technique. [Leaf Spirit] Level: LV20 HP: 3,000/3,000 Strength: 100 Agility: 70 Spirit: 200 Endurance: 150 Physique: 230 Wood Thorn Shot: Shoots sharp wooden thorns from its body, causing physical damage. Natural Healing: Absorbs natural energy from the surroundings to restore its own health. Forest Power: Summons the power of the forest to increase its attack and speed. Durian Strike: Swings the durian hammer to deal physical damage, with additional poisoning effect and guaranteed dizziness. Introduction: This is a peace-loving monster. It generally won¡¯t attack unless provoked. ¡°A level 20 monster? At least its attributes seem normal,¡± Mo Xiao looked at the Leaf Spirit and breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang He looked at the Leaf Spirit with a smile on her face. ¡°It¡¯s so cute!¡± ¡°ording to the introduction, it shouldn¡¯t attack us first. Let¡¯s test if this debuff is real or not,¡± Mo Xiao said and walked towards the Leaf Spirit. As Mo Xiao spoke, he approached the Leaf Spirit. As he approached, the previously cute-looking Leaf Spirit suddenly turned its eyes red and swung the durian hammer at him. ¡°It seems all the monsters here will be hostile to me.¡± Mo Xiao sighed helplessly and swung his sword. -10,504 The Leaf Spirit instantly fell to the ground, turned into starlight, and disappeared. [You killed the Leaf Spirit and gained 2,000 experience points!] [You obtained two Spirit Fruits.] [You obtained the Leaf Spirit¡¯s Meteor Hammer.] [Obtained Wood Spirit *1] ¡°Hmm? Meteor Hammer? Equipment?¡± [Leaf Spirit¡¯s Meteor Hammer] Quality: Blue Effect: When used, it will cause 50 points of damage to the target and stun them for three seconds. Limitation: A disposable item, it will disappear after use. ¡°A disposable item that guarantees dizziness? Not bad,¡± Mo Xiao said, rubbing his hands on the hammer. As Mo Xiao spoke, he rubbed it in his hand. [You rubbed the Leaf Spirit¡¯s Meteor Hammer and upgraded it to the Leaf Spirit¡¯s Fine Meteor Hammer.] [You rubbed the Leaf Spirit¡¯s Fine Meteor Hammer and upgraded it to the Leaf Spirit¡¯s Invincible Meteor Hammer!] [Leaf Spirit¡¯s Invincible Meteor Hammer] Quality: Orange Effect: After use, it will deal 300 points of damage to the target and stun them for 8 seconds. Additionally, it creates an energy field with a radius of 5 meters around the target, preventing them from using skills and items for 3 seconds. Limitation: A disposable item, it will disappear after use. ¡°Wow? Unable to use skills and items? A PvP artifact!¡± Seeing this description, Mo Xiao was delighted. Just as Mo Xiao was excitedly whispering to himself as usual, Jiang He looked at him with a puzzled expression. Hearing her voice, Mo Xiao¡¯s body stiffened abruptly. His previous actions were quite natural, clearly forgetting that Jiang He was still beside him. ¡°What¡­ What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mo Xiao swallowed nervously, praying in his heart that Jiang He hadn¡¯t seen his actions. Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao¡¯s somewhat nervous appearance and tilted her head curiously. ¡°1 see you muttering to yourself, curious about what you¡¯re up to.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t think I¡¯d be angry because you killed it, right?¡± Jiang He seemed to think of something and quickly said, ¡°No, no, it¡¯s just a wild monster, although it¡¯s kind of cute, I¡¯m not angry about it.¡± ¡°Ahaha, that¡¯s good then,¡± Mo Xiao awkwardly scratched his head. Since Jiang He had already made up an exnation for him, he naturally followed along. ¡°Here, take this.¡± After thinking for a moment, Mo Xiao directly handed the Meteor Hammer to Jiang He. ¡°Huh? Isn¡¯t this the durian that the Leaf Spirit had? Can such a thing be dropped too?¡± Jiang He took the durian and her expression suddenly changed the next moment. ¡°Orange-tier item?! You¡­ Your drop rate is way too high!¡± Seeing Jiang He¡¯s shocked expression, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°I have a lucky talent. The drop rate for high-level equipment is especially high for me. If you need to open any boxes in the future, you can find me.¡± The ¡®luck¡¯ talent was truly a bug, and it was his biggest secret that Mo Xiao wouldn¡¯t tell Jiang He. ¡°No wonder you have so many powerful items! So that¡¯s how it is!¡± Jiang He suddenly realized and nodded, ¡°You should have told me earlier. I opened all the treasure chests in the ck Ant Nest, what a shame.¡± ¡°Treasure chests are something that won¡¯t be in short supply. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s explore this fruit forest.¡± Mo Xiao said, collecting the dropped items, looking around, and walking along a small path. The once peaceful fruit forest gradually came alive as the two explored further.. Chapter 65 - 65: Wood Spirit Girl Chapter 65: Wood Spirit Girl Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [Wood Spirit]: A special aura from creatures in the Wood Secret Realm. When used, it can increase your health points by 1. It is said that if you find the elder of the Wood Secret Realm, you can exchange the Wood Spirits for something. Looking at the introduction of the Wood Spirit in his hand, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly. ¡°The elder of the Secret Realm, huh? Seems like another instance for grinding monsters.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao rubbed the Wood Spirit in his hand a bit, but nothing changed. Apparently, this thing was just a form of currency. ¡°However, aren¡¯t wood spirits usually peaceful creatures? Why would they let us hunt the monsters in the Secret Realm? Is there any other way to obtain these wood spirits?¡± Jiang He asked with some confusion. Mo Xiao shrugged in response. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Right now, we are the target of everyone in the Wood Secret Realm. I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to find any other means.¡± Thinking of this, Mo Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and a hint of cunning shed in his eyes. While others might not have any other means, Mo Xiao did. His ¡®Quick Fingers¡¯ technique allowed him to even steal from wild beasts. The fruit forest was vast, but there seemed to be no other creatures besides these cute leaf spirits. Although the experience gained was meager, each of them dropped at least two spirit fruits, which made Mo Xiao quite happy. Just as Mo Xiao and Jiang He were exploring the fruit forest, a scream suddenly resounded in the distance. Hearing the scream, Mo Xiao frowned slightly, and Jiang He was about to rush over, but as if she had thought of something, she forcibly stopped herself and looked at Mo Xiao with an inquiring gaze. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s see what¡¯s happening.¡± Seeing Jiang He¡¯s expression, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t say much and directly headed toward the source of the scream. Upon arriving, they found a giant flower wildly waving its vines. On one of the vines, a girl was tied up and unable to move, only able to emit shrill screams. ¡°What a huge flower! What is this thing?¡± Looking at the huge flower with its gaping mouth, Jiang He¡¯s face was full of horror. This was clearly a man-eating flower! Mo Xiao remainedposed and used his Detection skill. [Wood Demon Flower King, Elite Boss] Level: LV20 HP: 15,000/15,000 Strength: 400 Agility: 80 Spirit: 600 Endurance: 1,200 Physique: 1,800 Thorn Attack: Attacks the target with its thorns, causing massive physical damage and a high chance of inflicting a bleeding effect. Pollen Disturbance: Releases arge amount of pollen to disturb the target, with a high chance of causing confusion or nullifying magic, and reducing its speed. Life Absorption: Absorbs nutrients from its roots, restoring its own health and dealing significant continuous poison damage to surrounding units, reducing their attribute values. Wooden Barrier: Summons a huge wooden wall, providing a powerful shield for itself and teammates, greatly reducing the damage taken. Additionally, the wall inflicts physical damage on enemies that touch it. Nature¡¯s Fury: Summons the power of nature, causing earthquakes, storms, lightning, and other disasters, dealing massive elemental damage to all targets within range and inflicting silence, paralysis, and other effects. Introduction: It is a guardian nt that grows deep in the forest, possessing powerful vitality and attack capabilities. It usually hides in the depths of the woods, ambushing passing enemies, born to guard the Wood Secret Realm. It was said that other than the original famous Wood Mystic Realm, only those who truly understood the beauty of nature and respected it could live peacefully with it. Otherwise, they would suffer its fierce counterattack. Recently, it seemed to have been affected by something that had changed its temperament, making it unable to distinguish friend from foe. ¡°Elite-level boss? nts aren¡¯t difficult,¡± Mo Xiao said as he pulled out the Four Symbols Heavy Sword on his back. ¡°Mo Xiao¡­ why don¡¯t we save her?¡± Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao, who had drawn his sword and was preparing to fight, and cautiously suggested. Hearing this, Mo Xiao nced at the girl tied to the vine and nodded lightly. Without waiting for Jiang He to speak, the flying longbow appeared in Mo Xiao¡¯s other hand. Then, to Jiang He¡¯s surprise, he used the hand holding the Four Symbols Heavy Sword to draw the longbow and start shooting. ¡°Bang, bang, bang!¡± With a cracking sound, the vines of the Wood Demon Flower King instantly broke, causing the girl to fall from the sky. Mo Xiao quickly activated Shadowless and rushed up, catching the girl in mid-air. [You rubbed against the Wood Spirit Girl, and the talent ¡®Wood Spirit Heart¡¯ has been copied!] [Wood Spirit Heart: Originating from the spirit of the wood, as long as you are in a ce with trees, your health points will recover 100 points per second! Moreover, all creatures in the Wood Secret Realm will treat you friendly! J ¡°A talent that restores health points? Seems pretty good,¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself. He ced the girl next to Jiang He and said, ¡°I¡¯ll leave her to you. I¡¯ll take care of this boss.¡± ¡°Alright, be careful,¡± Jiang He nodded and quickly helped the girl who was lying on the ground. ¡°Even if it¡¯s a demon king, it¡¯s just a flower. Killing you is too easy.¡± Mo Xiao looked at the enraged Wooden Flower King before slowly raising the Four Elephants Heavy Sword in his hand, and he shouted, ¡°Soul Extinguishing ck me!¡± As Mo Xiao uttered a low shout, a pitch-ck me erupted and crazily burned on the Wood Demon Flower King¡¯s body. In just a few breaths, the mes spread all over its body. Countless high damage numbers kept popping up above the Wood Demon Flower King¡¯s head. The next moment, a miserable and piercing scream was heard, and the Wooden Flower King turned into ashes and disappeared. [You have killed the Wooden Flower King and gained 30,000 experience points!] [You obtained the Wood Demon Flower King¡¯s Core*i] [You have obtained the Wood Demon Flower King¡¯s Seed *1] [You obtained Wood Spirit *100] [You obtained a Secret Realm Treasure Chest *1] ¡°A seed? Core? Could this be some kind of pet?¡± Mo Xiao mumbled as he looked at the items he obtained in his backpack. Just then, a melodious yet surprised voice suddenly sounded behind Mo Xiao, ¡°How could you kill it? It¡¯s the guardian deity of our Wood Spirit n!¡± Hearing this voice, Mo Xiao turned around and saw the girl looking at Mo Xiao in disbelief. Despite her words, Mo Xiao remained calm and said casually, ¡°I killed it to save you. If you think it¡¯s wrong, 1 could kill you too.¡± Jiang He wanted to interject, but the girl quickly shook her head and said, ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. I just think you¡¯re really strong! The Wood Demon Flower King is an incredibly powerful guardian deity for us. Apart from a few elders, no one has ever been able to defeat it. As an outsider, you¡¯re really powerful!¡± ¡°How do you know I¡¯m an outsider?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. ¡°Because of your aura. The aura you have is different from ours, the Wood Spirit n.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± The Wood Spirit girl paused and continued, ¡°At first, I wanted to fight you when 1 saw you.. Why did I suddenly change my mind? It¡¯s really strange¡­¡± Chapter 66 - 66: NPC? Secret Realm Mission? Chapter 66: NPC? Secret Realm Mission? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Hearing the words of the Wood Spirit girl, Mo Xiao was slightly taken aback. He opened his personal panel. However, the debuff of the Wood n¡¯s resentment was still there on his panel. ¡°The debuff hasn¡¯t disappeared¡­ Could it be because of this talent?¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself, shifting his gaze to the newly acquired talent. Wood Spirit¡¯s Heart: All creatures in the Wood Secret Realm will treat the owner kindly. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because at first, you treated me as an intruder,¡± Mo Xiao said awkwardly. The Wood Spirit girl pondered for a moment, apparently not fully understanding. ¡°Maybe, well, it doesn¡¯t matter. ¡°Thank you for saving me. My name is Tao Yaoyao, a member of the Wood Spirit n in the Wood Secret Realm,¡± Tao Yaoyao said gratefully. ¡°Tao Yaoyao? Your name is so adorable!¡± Jiang He quickly chimed in, ¡°What happened just now? Why were you captured by that monster?¡± Tao Yaoyao¡¯s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, obviously still frightened by what had happened. ¡°The flower just now was called the Wood Demon Flower, and it¡¯s the king of the Wood Demon Flower species. ¡°The Wood Demon Flower King is the guardian of our Wood Spirit n. Most of the Wood Spirit n¡¯s professions are support-based, and weck directbat capabilities, so we rely on a symbiotic rtionship with the Wood Demon Flower species. ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened today; it suddenly attacked me.¡± Tao Yao Yao continued, then suddenly looked at Mo Xiao and asked, ¡°Respected adventurer, can you help me find out the reason for the Wood Demon Flower species going berserk?¡± [Ding, the Wood Spirit girl has issued a chain mission to you. Wood Demon Flower Rampage, will you ept?] Listening to the sudden system prompt in their minds, both Mo Xiao and Jiang He were stunned. A mission? They didn¡¯t know that this game world would have such a thing. Apart from the missions that might be issued by the heavens during profession changes, they hadn¡¯t heard of any other missions. After all, this was the real world, even if it merged with the game world, it was still reality. Based on the logic of ying games before, the experience and rewards from missions indeed exceeded grinding monsters. But in the real world, receiving experience and rewards forpleting missions was just too magical, wasn¡¯t it? ¡°epted.¡± Although they didn¡¯t know what was going on, since the system prompt had appeared, it must be true. ¡°That¡¯s great! Thank you so much!¡± Tao Yaoyao became excited as Mo Xiao epted the mission. ¡°Here¡¯s the n: first, you help me go to the territory of the Wood Demon Flower and kill two berserk Wood Demon Flowers. Bring back their seeds, about 10 of them will do.¡± [Mission updated!] [Wood Demon Flower Rampage: The guardian of the Wood Spirit n, the Wood Demon Flower, has gone berserk for unimown reasons. Please hunt down 10 Wood Demon Flowers and obtain their unusual seeds to give to Tao Yaoyao. Current progress: o/io. Reward: Unknown.] Mo Xiao looked at the information on the panel, and his eyes twitched slightly. This has really turned into an online game, hasn¡¯t it? ¡°Oh, by the way, speaking of seeds, can you see if these two items are useful?¡± Mo Xiao took out two dropped items from his backpack. [Wood Demon Flower King¡¯s Core: Power core from the Wood Demon Flower King, unknown function.] [Wood Demon Flower King¡¯s Seed: Seed from the Wood Demon Flower King. It seems to be able to grow into a new Wood Demon Flower King.] ¡°What are these¡­¡± Looking at the items Mo Xiao held, Tao Yaoyao was also taken aback. ¡°Take a look at what the Wood Demon Flower King dropped just now. Is it useful?¡± ¡°Those were the drops from the Wood Demon Flower King just now. Can you see if they are useful?¡± Since she was an NPC that they couldmunicate with, Mo Xiao naturally showed her these items they didn¡¯t understand. Tao Yaoyao took the two items and her expression gradually became serious. ¡°These are demonized seeds! Impossible! How could there be evil energy in the Wood Secret Realm!¡± Looking at Tao Yaoyao¡¯s expression, Mo Xiao smiled calmly. It seemed that he sessfully triggered a new mission. ¡°Tao Yaoyao, is the corruption severe?¡± Jiang He didn¡¯t know what Mo Xiao was thinking and asked with some concern. Tao Yaoyao shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. I have to go back and ask my grandfather. Anyway, you go to the territory of the Wood Demon Flower first. Kill all the demonized Wood Demon Flowers and bring back their seeds. We need to study them.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t refuse. After all, an upgraded mission was good for them. [Mission updated!] [Demonized Wood Demon Flowers: The guardian of the Wood Spirit n, the Wood Demon Flower, has been corrupted for unknown reasons.

If you follow this path, you¡¯ll reach the Wood Spirit n. Goodbye.¡± Tao Yaoyao waved and left. Seeing her disappear into the distance, Mo Xiao immediately used a detection technique on her.

She seems to be the granddaughter of the chief of the Wood Spirit n and has extremely powerful vitality. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect there to be NPCs here¡­¡± Mo Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully after Tao Yaoyao was gone. Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao¡¯s expression and felt a bit resentful. ¡°She¡¯s already gone far away; stop staring. ¡°You¡­ Do you really like this type of girl?¡± Jiang He paused for a moment and asked somewhat indignantly. Hearing this, Mo Xiao was taken aback. ¡°What are you talking about? Didn¡¯t you use the detection technique? She seems to be an NPC.¡± ¡°All? An NPC?¡± Jiang He was stunned to hear this. ¡°Can there really be NPCs in this world?¡± ¡°Well, that makes sense. If they aren¡¯t NPCs, the humans in this secret realm can¡¯t possibly be from another world, right?¡± Mo Xiao sighed. ¡°Let¡¯s go; we¡¯ve epted the mission, so let¡¯splete it.¡± ¡°Okay, let me help this time too. You¡¯ve been doing everything so far, and 1 feel bad,¡± Jiang He said seriously. Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°Sure, let¡¯s split up and act, as long as we don¡¯t go too far, we¡¯ll still share the experience.¡± Jiang He fell silent for a while upon hearing this but eventually nodded. ¡°Leveling is all about efficiency, and the college entrance examination ising soon. We don¡¯t have much spare time to waste. Let¡¯s go.¡± Mo Xiao took big strides and headed towards the mission location indicated on the map. Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao¡¯s departing figure with a slightly resentful expression, but what Mo Xiao said was true. She couldn¡¯t say anything and could only follow him quietly, heading towards the mission location.. Chapter 67 - 67: The Reappearance of the Evil Energy Fragment Chapter 67: The Reappearance of the Evil Energy Fragment Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ording to the information provided by the system, Mo Xiao and Jiang He walked briskly forward. The previously dense fruit trees, like a forest, gradually became sparse. asionally, a few Leaf Spirits would fall, and with the effect of the Wood Spirit Heart, these Leaf Spirits would not actively attack Mo Xiao. For Mo Xiao, it didn¡¯t matter if they attacked or not. In his eyes, they were just moving bundles of experience. But for Jiang He¡¯s sake, Mo Xiao put down the butcher knife in his hand and went straight to the mission point. They hadn¡¯t walked far when the surroundings gradually turned cold, and the forest turned into a in. Not to mention trees, there was not even a de of grass. It was just a deste wastnd. ¡°Why is this ce so deste?¡± Jiang He looked around, somewhat puzzled, but saw nothing. At that moment, countless vines sprang up and rushed towards them. ¡°Sea of fire!¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t say a word and immediately shouted. Instantly, a scorching me swept in all directions from Mo Xiao¡¯s center. ¡°Squeak!!!¡± In an instant, ear-piercing sounds echoed around. In the next moment, a dozen huge Wood Demon Flowers appeared in front of them. Different from the previous Wood Demon Flower King, these Wood Devil Flowers were much smaller in size. The biggest difference was that the branches of the Wood Demon Flower King were green and the flowers were red. However, these Wood Demon Flowers were all shrouded in ck energy, and their flower heads had turnedpletely ck. Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately used his detection skill. [Wood Demon Flower¡ªDemonized] Level: LV20 HP: 3,000/3,000 Strength: 250 Agility: 500 Spirit: 200 Endurance: 250 Physique: 200 Shadow Bloom: Releases dark energy, causing area-of-effect dark attribute damage in the surrounding area. ck Vine Entanglement: Releases ck vines to entangle the target, immobilizing them for a period of time. Venomous Spit: Spits out highly toxic liquid from its mouth, causing continuous damage and reducing the target¡¯s attack power. ¡°Is this the demonized Wood Demon Flower?¡± Jiang He looked at the Wood Demon Flower in front of her and couldn¡¯t help but gulp. She subconsciously took a step back. Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and did not say anything. He took out his Flying General¡¯s Bow and said, ¡°Arrow Rain!¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, Jiang He was puzzled and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t they all wood-type monsters? Wouldn¡¯t fire magic be more effective? ¡°All my attackse with fire attribute damage.¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. Immediately, a series of ear-piercing screams resounded from the group of Wood Demon Flowers. Their HP plummeted like a waterfall. Without even a chance to counterattack, they copsed to the ground one by one. [You killed 17 Demonized Wood Demon Flowers and gained 42,500 experience points!] [You obtained Demonized Wood Demon Flower Seeds *17] [You obtained Wood Spirits *34] [You obtained Evil Energy Fragments *17] ¡°Yes?¡± Evil Energy Fragment?! Seeing this familiar item, Mo Xiao was stunned and opened his backpack. [Evil Energy Fragment: Special item with an extremely strange power. After use, all attributes increase by 300 points for 10 minutes, stackable. Note: Excessive use may have adverse effects on the mind.] ¡°Isn¡¯t this something from the trial grounds? Why are there evil energy fragments here?¡± Looking at the Evil Energy Fragment in his hand, Mo Xiao frowned as a bad feeling kept fluctuating in his heart. ¡°What is an Evil Energy Fragment?¡± Jiang He also asked in confusion, looking at the properties of the fragment, ¡°This is a powerful item! But what does it mean to have adverse effects on the mind?¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°It turns the user into a beast,pletely without reason. It¡¯s a double-edged sword, better not to use it.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so powerful, surely you won¡¯t need to use this thing.¡± Jiang He said cheerfully. Hearing this, Mo Xiao chuckled. ¡°I hope so.¡± [Due to your ughter of arge number of Wood Demon Flowers, the Wood Demon Flower n¡¯s perception of you has turned to disgust. If you enter their territory, they willunch continuous attacks against you!] ¡°Continuous attacks? Then bring it on, it¡¯s perfect for leveling up.¡± As soon as Mo Xiao finished speaking, an evenrger Wood Demon Flower emerged from the ground. ¡°Mo Xiao, let me handle this, 1 also want to help!¡± Upon hearing the voice, Jiang He quickly spoke up. ¡°Are you¡­ sure?¡± Seeing Jiang He¡¯s eagerness, Mo Xiao was somewhat surprised and gave Jiang He a look. The Wood Demon Flower in front of him was obviously muchrger than the previous ones, and it even showed signs of being on par with the Wood Demon Flower King. Not only that, its entire body had turned pitch-ck, and there seemed to be a ck bead at the center of its flower. [Wood Demon Flower Elite] Level: LV30 HP: 5,000/5,000 Strength: 300 Agility: 200 Spirit: 350 Endurance: 350 Physique: 400 Ancient Bloom: Releases powerful nt energy, causing massive damage and slowing down targets within the area.

Thorny Shield: Releases an indestructible thorny shield to protect itself, rebounding some physical damage and causing physical attackers to suffer recoil damage. ¡°This is an elite monster. Are you sure you want to try?¡± H j 11 Before Jiang He could reply, another sound of emergence from the ground resounded, and a group of demonized Wood Demon Flowers appeared behind them. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a small one to y with. Leave the rest to me.¡± Looking at Jiang He¡¯s flustered appearance, Mo Xiao remained calm and immediately activated his skill. ¡°Advanced Resistance Fire Ring!¡± Immediately, a ring of fire surrounded a Wood Demon Flower. Before they could react, a powerful force pushed the Wood Demon Flower hard, sending them flying. Before the Wood Demon Flowers could run back, a sea of mes enveloped their location. Now, there were only Jiang He and the Wood Demon Flower elite left, along with the Elite monster Mo Xiao was holding back. [You killed 19 Demonized Wood Demon Flowers, gaining 47,500 experience points!] [You obtained Demonized Wood Demon Flower Seeds *19] [You obtained Wood Spirits *38] [You obtained Evil Energy Fragments *19] ¡°Is that all they gave us? But leveling up is really fast.¡± Mo Xiao muttered twice and slowly walked in front of the Wood Demon Flower elite. Without a word, he directly shed with his sword. [Instant Kill Trigger!] -9,999,999! Sound of death- Chapter 68 - 68: Scarlet Vines! Mutation! Chapter 68: Scarlet Vines! Mutation! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Did the trigger kill it? The system sure knows how to steal the limelight.¡± Mo Xiao carried the Four Symbols Heavy Sword and muttered to himself. After a while, he frowned, because the fallen Elite Wood Demon Flower in front of him was still twitching. Moreover, the system still hadn¡¯t given him the kill prompt. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t I kill it?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the Wooden Demon Flower in front of him, his brow slightly furrowing. ¡°Its health bar was clearly reduced to zero¡­¡± Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, the demonized Wooden Demon Flower in front of him convulsed twice, and in the next moment, its body instantly turned scarlet. At the same time, countless scarlet vines gushed out of its body, sweeping in all directions. Looking at these familiar vines, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils suddenly trembled. However, the scarlet vines in front of him had no life value at all. Even if he attacked, he couldn¡¯t stop their actions. Countless scarlet vines shot out in all directions, piercing the ground of the in like divine punishment. The closest one coiled around the Wooden Demon Flower that was currently battling with Jiang He. ¡°Huh? What do you mean?¡± Seeing this sudden scene, Jiang He thought that Mo Xiao had done something. But when she turned around, she found numerous eerie scarlet vines spanning the sky. One of the vines was rapidly retracting. As for the Wood Demon Flower caught on the vines, it directly turned into a red light, merging into the ck bead at the center of the vine. ¡°You run first.¡± Without waiting for Jiang He to react, the rainbow-like vine in the air rapidly retracted. In just a few breaths, a huge red sphere appeared in front of them. ¡°What¡­ what is this?¡± Jiang He looked at this bizarre red sphere and instinctively gulped. Although he couldn¡¯t see its attributes, it gave him an extremely terrifying feeling. Mo Xiao¡¯s expression gradually turned cold as he said, ¡°This is a very dangerous thing. You go, leave this to me.¡± ¡°No way!¡± Hearing this, Jiang He refused without hesitation. ¡°Last time, I didn¡¯t go into the hidden space when you did! This time, 1 won¡¯t leave first, no matter what!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t handle this thing! Even 1 may not be its opponent! If you stay here, I can¡¯t protect you! We both might end up dead here!¡± Mo Xiao scolded, ¡°Leave quickly!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No buts! Go!¡± ¡°Roar!!!¡± Just then, a deafening roar resounded instantly. Soon after, a red shockwave erupted from the red sphere¡¯s center. ¡°Shield Charge!¡± Watching the red shockwave, Mo Xiao immediately activated a special skill. Immediately, his figure appeared in front of Jiang He. [-1,000] [-1,000] The next moment, two scarlet numbers shed above Mo Xiao¡¯s head. Shield Charge was the evolved version of the basic skill of the Shield Warrior ss that Jiang Shan had given to Mo Xiao. Originally called ¡®Guardian,¡¯ it simply absorbed a portion of the damage for teammates. However, after being rubbed twice, it underwent a qualitative change. [Shield Charge: Instantly appear in front of a teammate and take all the damage for them! All damage received is reduced by 50%!] ¡°It¡¯s this kind of thing again¡­ dealing 2,000 damage.¡± Mo Xiao said gravely, ¡°Jiang He, you should run now. Run as fast as you can. Once we start fighting, I won¡¯t be able to take care of you.¡± As Mo Xiao finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in the red sphere. Then, a burst of red light shot into the sky. Like a light screen, it formed a huge hemisphere, enclosing the two inside. [Beep. You have entered the Demon Vines Barrier. You cannot leave until you kill the Guardian.] H 11 Hearing this message, Mo Xiao¡¯s face couldn¡¯t have looked worse. If he were alone, dealing with this creature would be a piece of cake. But now, he had Jiang He with him¡­ That was a big problem! If Jiang He died, not to mention Jiang Shan and the Jiang family, he wouldn¡¯t forgive himself. After all, Jiang He was his friend! ¡°Take care of yourself¡­ Hide behind me and try to protect yourself, understand?¡± Mo Xiao earnestly admonished. ¡°Yeah¡­¡± Jiang He trembled and nodded. Although she didn¡¯t know what kind of monster was in front of her, the previous events had already filled her with extreme fear. As the red sphere shattered, a giant hand made of vines slowly extended from it. ¡°All, a familiar aura. I finally escaped from that damn ce!¡± Apanied by a hoarse voice, a massive monster appeared before the two. ¡°Oh? 1 sense a familiar aura from you. Have you been to that ce? ¡°Let me kill you and absorb that guy¡¯s power!!¡± Chapter 69 - 69: Resurrection! Platinum-level Boss! Chapter 69: Resurrection! tinum-level Boss! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios As a familiar voice sounded, the once tranquil Wood Secret Realm suddenly trembled violently, as if experiencing an earthquake. The next moment, countless thick blood-red roots shot up from the ground like vines. They headed straight for Mo Xiao and Jiang He. The attack was incredibly fast, catching even Mo Xiao off guard. ¡°Jiang He! Don¡¯t move!¡± Mo Xiao shouted in a low voice and activated the reaction speed of the Divine War God to the limit. He swiftly swung his Four Symbols Heavy Sword. ¡°ng!¡± With a heavy sound of metal shing, the airborne roots were severed and crashed heavily to the ground. With the appearance of the red roots, the eerie monster finally revealed its true form. It was a vine covered in scarlet, furry tentacles, exuding an aura of evil and danger. At the top of the vine was a dark red flower with a ck bead at its center, resembling an eye. The bead was profound, emanating a crimson light that sent shivers down one¡¯s soul. Inside the open flower, one could see densely arranged sharp teeth and a scorching mouth, emitting a strong smell of blood and malevolence that made people shudder. Looking at the monster in front of him, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression grew increasingly serious. ¡°Detection Skill.¡± [Scarlet Demon Vine¡ªtinum-level Boss] Level: LV30 HP: 50,000/50,000 Strength: 3,000 Agility: 0 Spirit: 1,500 Endurance: 5,500 Physique: 5,000 Wither Devour: Releases powerful evil energy to devour the target¡¯s life force and convert it into its own HP and attribute enhancements. Bloodvine Entanglement: Unleashes poisonous blood-red vines to entangle the target, inflicting massive damage and immobilizing it for a period of time. Venom Spray: Spews highly toxic liquid from its mouthpiece, causing substantial continuous damage and reducing the target¡¯s attack power, defense, and attributes. Scarlet Barrier: A mysterious shield that seems impervious to damage until it is shattered. Blood Harvest: Using petals as des, shes at all targets in the surrounding area, causing massive damage and absorbing the target¡¯s health, attributes, and skill effects. Entangled Roots: Thick roots cover the entire Wood Secret Realm, granting it the ability to recover 20% of its maximum HP per second! ¡°!!!¡± Looking at the terrifying attributes of the Scarlet Demon Vine in front of him, not to mention Jiang He, even Mo Xiao¡¯s expression became even more solemn. Especially thisst skill, it was intertwined. Heals 20% of his maximum health every second! What kind of concept was this! Unless he could directly insta-kill him! Otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat him! ¡°Mo Xiao¡­ what should we do? Why don¡¯t we run?¡± Jiang He hid behind Mo Xiao with a terrified expression, her entire body trembling weakly. Seeing Jiang He like this, Mo Xiao sighed helplessly, ¡°It¡¯s fine. With me around, nothing will happen.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao¡¯s body shed, and Little Gray instantly appeared beside Mo Xiao. It was originally smiling, but after sensing the surrounding aura, its expression instantly distorted. Clearly, it didn¡¯t like this feeling either. ¡°Woo-¡± Little Gray whimpered softly at Mo Xiao, as if it wanted to return to the pet space. Mo Xiao stroked Little Gray¡¯s head and said, ¡°Little Gray, run further away with Jiang He. You have the auspicious attribute, so you should be lucky.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao stretched out his right hand, and a second Four Symbols Heavy Sword appeared in his hand. ¡°Leave this big guy to me.¡± Although facing such a terrifying monster, using bows and arrows to grind blood would have a certain advantage, just like how Mo Xiao had dealt with Guardian 2 previously. However, this guy waspletely different. Unless it triggered instant death, no matter how much HP was grinded, it would instantly recover to full. ¡°It would be great if we could issue a death sentence deration, as well as sanctions¡­¡± Mo Xiao took a deep breath and looked straight at the terrifying scarlet vine. As soon as he turned around, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. More than half of the previously huge open space was now upied by this strange red vine. Although he did not know what effect this vine had on him, from the situation, it was clearly not a good thing. Seemingly sensing Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze, the huge flower at the top of the Scarlet Demon Vine slowly faced Mo Xiao. The pearl in the middle moved slightly like an eyeball. ¡°You humans are all like this. Protect yourpanions? Hahahaha! Ridiculous! Bring yourpanions and turn them into my nourishment!¡± With a sharp roar, the flower on the top of the Scarlet Demon Vine suddenly grewrger. Then, a dark purple liquid that emitted a stench rose into the air. The next moment, it exploded in the air. Like rain, it instantly covered the entire barrier. ¡°Advanced Resistance Fire Ring!¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao did not panic at all and directly enveloped Jiang He with a Ring of Fire. Immediately, the poison that fell on Jiang He waspletely pushed away by the Ring of Fire. On the other hand, Mo Xiao seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll in the poisonous liquid. It was as if he was dancing as he rapidly moved. Not only did he note into contact with a drop of venom, but he also took this opportunity to cross dozens of meters. He moved in front of the Scarlet Demon Vine. ¡°Compared to the Guardian, you seem much clumsier. ¡°Dragon Wings! ¡°Power Halo! ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Full-strength attack! ¡°Shattering Mountains and Rivers!¡± A violent sword aura erupted from Mo Xiao¡¯s hand. As if it was about to shatter a mountain, it hurtled towards the Scarlet Demon Vine. -122,728! In an instant, a number exceeding 100,000 appeared above the Scarlet Demon Vine¡¯s head. This was the first time Mo Xiao had gone all out since obtaining the Four Symbols Set. Although Mo Xiao had some expectations, he never imagined the damage would be this high. ¡°This damage¡­ is too high¡­¡± At the edge of the barrier, Jiang He looked at the red number in the air in disbelief. It¡¯s just too powerful. Even my Uncle Jiang Shan would find it difficult to deal with such numbers¡­ While Jiang He was in shock, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression grew even more unpleasant. 120,000 damage had indeed been astonishing. It far exceeded the Scarlet Demon Vine¡¯s maximum HP. In theory, it should have been defeated in one hit. However¡­ The Scarlet Demon Vine showed no signs of injury at all. At that moment, a phantom red shield slowly appeared around it. Then it shattered into countless cracks. [Beep, the scarlet barrier has been shattered! Please attack as soon as possible!] As soon as the system notification sounded, the red light appeared again. It enveloped the Scarlet Demon Vine again. [Scarlet Demon Vine activated the Scarlet Barrier, HP: 100,000/100,000] Chapter 70 - 70: Radiance of the Divine Spirit Chapter 70: Radiance of the Divine Spirit Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Mo Xiao had initially thought that this scarlet barrier was merely the defense of the Scarlet Demon Vine, nothing more. In front of his defense-ignoring skill, it was nothing. However, Mo Xiao did not expect this barrier to be an independent entity! Moreover, its cooldown was extremely short, almost generating a new one instantly. ¡°Mo Xiao, be careful!!!¡± Just as Mo Xiao was stunned by the barrier, he suddenly felt a strong bloodthirsty aura surging from all directions. Countless slender blood vines, like sharp des, flew rapidly towards him. Mo Xiao tried to dodge, but the blood vine was incredibly fast, instantly covering the entire space, leaving him nowhere to hide. The blood vines quickly entangled his limbs and body, locking him tightly like a ferocious beast. As the blood vines grew denser and more powerful, Mo Xiao felt an intense pain, as if hundreds of needles were stabbing him all at once. ¡°All!!!¡± The intense pain made Mo Xiao let out a miserable cry. It was the first time since he arrived in this world that he had been hit by a monster! (What? Brutal Mad Rabbit? It doesn¡¯t count! It doesn¡¯t count!!!) After fighting monsters for a long time, Mo Xiao had be a bit careless. He treated this worldpletely as a game world. The intense pain finally woke him up from the illusion of the game. ¡°Mo Xiao!!!!!¡± Seeing this scene, Jiang Hehun was scared out of her wits and rushed towards Mo Xiao. ¡°Don¡¯te over!!!¡± Before he could finish speaking, a gray figure appeared in front of Mo Xiao. ¡°Howl!!!¡± A fierce howl sounded. A soft white light slowly enveloped Mo Xiao. It immediately caused the blood-colored vines that were entangling him to retreat as if they had encountered a natural enemy. Mo Xiao was freed from the vines in an instant. And those vines that retreated more slowly turned into ashes. [Little Gray (Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast)prehended the skill, Radiance of the Divine Spirit!] [Radiance of the Divine Spirit: Activate the heavenly spirit¡¯s origin, emitting a dazzling light that can dispel and break all evil creatures! It can remove all negative effects! Cost: o. Cooldown: 30 seconds.] Seeing this message, Mo Xiao was stunned and turned to look at the Crimson Demon Vine, only to find it looking in astonishment at Little Gray by his side. At the same time, Mo Xiao¡¯s health points underwent a change. From the previous 50,000, they decreased to 49,900. It was not that his HP had decreased, but that his maximum health had decreased by 100 points. ¡°What the heck? Decreased maximum health? Little Gray, you have this trick too?¡± When Mo Xiao saw this scene, a touch of joy appeared in his eyes. He happily stroked Little Gray¡¯s head and said, ¡°Well done, Little Gray!¡± [You patted the Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast, and the skill Sacred Radiance (Radiance of the Divine Spirit cannot be copied) has been copied!] [Sacred Radiance: Bestow yourself with sacred radiance, and all attacks will carry the sacred attribute! Evil creatures will not be able to approach you at all!] ¡°You can even copy your skills? It¡¯s a pity 1 can¡¯t copy your spirit devouring ability; otherwise, my leveling speed would be doubled.¡± Mo Xiao patted Little Gray¡¯s head again. ¡°You go protect Jiang He, and I¡¯ll handle this guy.¡± ¡°Roar-¡± ¡°Human, why do you have such a creature by your side? Weren¡¯t they alreadypletely exterminated by us?¡± The Scarlet Demon Vine said in extreme terror. Mo Xiao ignored the Scarlet Demon Vine and activated Sacred Radiance. ¡°Full-strength attack! ¡°Cloud-Piercing Thrust!!¡± The Cloud-Piercing Thrust was a basic profession skill given by Jiang Shan, but this one came from the Assassin¡¯s Backstab. [Cloud-Piercing Thrust: Orange skill, instantly delivers five attacks on the target at an extremely fast speed, each dealing 90% of the attack power as damage. If attacking from behind or targeting a weak point, each attack will deal 200% damage.] -158,520! Another terrifying number appeared on the scarlet barrier. But this time, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t want to give the Scarlet Demon Vine another chance. The second attack followed immediately. ¡°Activate the power of a thousand catties!!!¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s dragon wings behind him suddenly shook, and he soared into the air, bathed in divine radiance. He appeared directly above the flower on top of the Scarlet Demon Vine¡¯s head and stabbed down. -317,040!!! The power of a thousand catties was triggered! Tenfold damage!!! A whopping 300,000 damage instantly reduced the Scarlet Demon Vine¡¯s health to zero. At the same time, the sacred light acted on the ck sphere. As its health points fell to zero, maximum health rapidly decreased. In the next moment, cracks appeared all over the blood-red barrier with the Scarlet Demon Vine¡¯s health hitting zero. Mo Xiao was pleased to see this. But at this moment, the ck sphere in the air suddenly transformed into a red-glowing eye. ¡°Human! I won¡¯t die! You¡¯ll never be able to kill me! 1 look forward to meeting you again someday!! Hahaha!¡± With a mournfulughter, this eye-like thing suddenly swelled up. In the blink of an eye, its huge body waspletely sucked into the sphere. Before Mo Xiao could react, a faint crack appeared on the sphere. ¡°Boom!¡± In an instant, a deafening roar sounded. A violent explosion instantly urred in front of Mo Xiao. Immediately, he was blown away like a mosquito, crashing heavily onto the ground. [-999,999!] [Beep, ck Tortoise Armor triggered, life force forcibly locked at 1.] ¡°Mo Xiao!!!¡± Seeing this number, Jiang Hehun screamed again and rushed towards Mo Xiao. Just as she was about to burst into tears, Mo Xiao sat up. ¡°1 nearly got blown up!¡± ¡°Huh¡­ You¡­ You¡¯re alright?¡± Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao, who suddenly sat up. Her tears were already streaming down her face. ¡°You¡¯re telling me you¡¯re not dead???¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°1 have a life-saving skill, so 1 can¡¯t die, huh? Are you disappointed that I¡¯m not dead?¡± ¡°No, no, no! I saw that the damage was so high¡­ I thought you were dead.¡± Jiang He¡¯s face instantly turned red and she shook her head repeatedly. ¡°I have recovery medicine here, you first¡­¡± Just as Jiang He was about to take out the recovery medicine, she discovered again that Mo Xiao¡¯s health hadpletely recovered. ¡°You¡­ I¡­¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to exin, ¡°1 have an equipment that can store vitality and use it to recover when I lose health, so it¡¯s usually very difficult for me to be insta-killed.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Jiang Hehun opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn¡¯t say anything. Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and smiled. ¡°Alright, the boss has been dealt with. Let¡¯s take a look at the loot..¡± Chapter 71 - 71: Wood Spirit Village Chapter 71: Wood Spirit Vige Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [Beep. The Scarlet Demon Vine has escaped.] Just as Mo Xiao was about to check the loot dropped by this big boss, the system prompt sounded at the right moment. ¡°Escaped?! Didn¡¯t 1 kill this guy?!¡± Seeing this message, Mo Xiao¡¯s previously rxed expression became furrowed once again. [Before the Scarlet Demon Vine left, it activated its hidden skill, Rebirth.] H ii Listening to the system¡¯s message, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression turned even more grim. For Mo Xiao, he didn¡¯t care at all about the Scarlet Demon Vine running away and its impact on this secret realm at all! The reason why he was so unhappy was purely because the experience and equipment he was about to obtain were gone, just like that! This was a tinum-level boss, after all!! Maybe he could have obtained some rare red-level skills or something! But now it was all gone, and anyone in his ce would be unhappy. ¡°Mo Xiao? What¡¯s wrong? 1 don¡¯t see any message about the boss being killed on my system panel¡­¡± ¡°I know.¡± Mo Xiao slowly sheathed the Four Symbols Heavy Sword on his back. ¡°If he ran away, so be it. There¡¯s nothing 1 can do about it.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Jiang He was about to say something but met Mo Xiao¡¯s cold gaze, causing her to swallow her words. Mo Xiao stared coldly at Jiang He. ¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking, but let me say it again: this is a survival of the fittest world. Bringing you along was already giving face to Jiang Shan. 1 don¡¯t have time to help others. ¡°But the demonization here is very likely caused by the Scarlet Demon Vine. If we find and kill it, not only will we gain experience, but we might also help resolve the issues in the Wood Secret Realm, isn¡¯t that good?¡± Jiang He bit her lip and decided to voice her thoughts. Jiang He bit her lip and said what was on her mind. ¡°If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I¡¯m here to level up. Unless the Wood Secret Realm gives me a quest, I won¡¯t do anything extra,¡± Mo Xiao said. H j H ¡°You¡¯re the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and you have a deep family background. You¡¯re not afraid of anything, but I¡¯m not like you. This is yourst warning. If you do it again, you can go back by yourself!¡± With that, Mo Xiao turned around and walked directly to the iplete corpse of the Scarlet Demon Vine. As the Scarlet Demon Vine had fled, this huge body had already returned to its original dark green color. Although it hadpletely lost its vitality, it could be seen that it was the corpse of the Wood Demon Flower. [You obtained Demonized Wood Demon Flower Seeds *30] [You obtained Wood Spirits *30] [You obtained Evil Energy Condensation Block *1] ¡°Is this really a creature produced by the gathering of the Wood Demon Flowers?¡± Mo Xiao put away the dropped items and looked at the progress bar of the mission. With so many seeds, it was obvious that he had already exceeded the requirements of the mission. ¡°Evil energy condensation¡­ What exactly is this evil energy? Why is it everywhere?¡± Although Mo Xiao said that he wouldn¡¯t care about this kind of thing, he was still a little worried. Because, based on the situation with the Scarlet Demon Vine, it clearly knew that it had entered the trial area. And ording to what it said, the Dragonite Jade he obtained might be a hot potato that would attract the coveting of this evil force. After much contemtion, Mo Xiao shook his head lightly and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. The mission ispleted. Let¡¯s go find Tao Yaoyao.¡± Jiang He, who was in a daze, nodded slightly and quietly followed behind Mo Xiao. It seemed that because of the previous changes, the Scarlet Demon Vine had captured all the monsters in the surroundings. And the two of them didn¡¯t encounter a single monster on their way back. Following the route Tao Yaoyao had mentioned earlier, they quickly arrived at a peaceful forest. On each tree in this forest, there was an exquisite treehouse. It was as if they had entered the dwelling of elves in a Western fantasy story. [You have arrived at a new map, Wood Spirit Vige.] [Due to your Wood Spirit Heart talent, the Wood Spirit tribe¡¯s goodwill towards you has reached a friendly level.] As for the debuff that Mo Xiao had on him before, the resentment of the Wood tribe seemed to bepletely lifted under the effect of Little Gray¡¯s heavenly light. ¡°Is this the vige of the wood spirits?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the vige in front of him and sighed in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s really like a game¡­¡± Just as Mo Xiao was marveling at the sight, two giant trees at the entrance suddenly trembled and two massive tree trunks instantly blocked their path. ¡°What is this!¡± Seeing this movement, Mo Xiao instinctively drew the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. And at the same time, he used Detection on the creature before him.

As the guardian of the Wood Spirit tribe, it holds a respected position within the forest. ¡°The guardian of the Wood Spirit tribe?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was about to make a move, his action paused upon seeing the introduction. At this moment, a voice rang out. ¡°Guardian! Don¡¯t attack! They¡¯re my friends!¡± It was Tao Yaoyao. In a short while, she appeared in front of the Forest Behemoth and exined in a flurry. After seeing Tao Yaoyao, the Forest Behemoth nced at her and then returned to its original position, reverting to the appearance of a giant tree, making even Detection unable to sense it. ¡°Phew, luckily I ran fast. These two are the guardians of our Wood Spirit Vige. Despite their low attributes and level, they are formidable existences.¡± Tao Yaoyao proudly introduced. Mo Xiao nodded lightly, ¡°I can see that.¡± ¡°Why did youe here so quickly? Have you collected everything?¡± Tao Yaoyao asked doubtfully. ¡°Yes, all the Wood Demon Flowers over there have been demonized. These are the seeds we obtained.¡± Mo Xiao said, handing all the Wood Demon Flower seeds he had to Tao Yaoyao. Looking at the seeds in her hand, Tao Yaoyao¡¯s expression instantly turned solemn. ¡°Is it that serious? Thank you for your help. We still need to study this matter a bit more. Before that, my grandfather wants to meet you.¡± [Beep, mission Demonized Wood Demon Flowerpleted!] [Congrattions on obtaining 50,000 experience points and Wood Spirits *50!] [New mission, second stage of the Demonized Wood Demon Flower. Please proceed to the center of Wood Spirit Vige and meet the Elder of the Wood Spirits..] Chapter 72 - 72: Elder Wood Spirit, Dark Gold Rank Boss! Chapter 72: Elder Wood Spirit, Dark Gold Rank Boss! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°50,000 experience points? The first-tier quest grants this much experience? No wonder they say that the Secret Realm is the fastest way to level up. Indeed, it¡¯s just a bit more challenging.¡± Looking at the system notification, Mo Xiao nodded in satisfaction. At that moment, Mo Xiao noticed that Jiang He suddenly leaned in next to Tao Yaoyao and whispered something to her in a low voice. Tao Yaoyao¡¯s expression seemed to darken because of Jiang He¡¯s words. Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly but did not say anything. He could guess that Jiang He must have informed Tao Yaoyao about their encounter with the Scarlet Demon Vine and its escape just now. Otherwise, Tao Yaoyao¡¯s expression wouldn¡¯t be so grim. After hearing Jiang He¡¯s words, Tao Yaoyao said, ¡°1 suddenly have something to discuss with my grandfather. Wait here for a moment, and I¡¯ll bring you to see himter.¡± ¡°Sure, take your time.¡± Mo Xiao did not say anything when he heard this, but stood quietly at the side and waited. On the side, Jiang He was already prepared to be reprimanded by Mo Xiao, but she realized that Mo Xiao didn¡¯t say a word. Jiang He tilted her head in confusion and met Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze. She immediately became flustered. ¡°Why¡­ Why are you looking at me like that? I just told Yaoyao about what happened earlier!¡± Jiang He blurted out, her face turning red as she tried to stand her ground. Seeing Jiang He¡¯s reaction, Mo Xiao shook his head and said, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t say anything. I¡¯ll tell them about itter myself.¡± ¡°Your expression! The words are written all over your face!! Aren¡¯t you ming me for being a busybody!!¡± Jiang He said angrily. Hearing this, Mo Xiao shook his head and said, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t. I¡¯ll tell them about thister.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang He was stunned, clearly not understanding Mo Xiao¡¯s intention. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the one who said¡­ as long as you take care of yourself, it¡¯s fine?¡¯¡± Jiang He asked, a little angry. ¡°That¡¯s right, everything 1 do is for myself,¡± Mo Xiao said lightly. ¡°You told them because of your saintly heart, to save the Wood Secret Realm.¡± Mo Xiao said indifferently, ¡°As for me, I want to increase the difficulty of the task and raise the experience rewards afterpleting the mission. ¡°I didn¡¯t say it directly earlier to confirm the difficulty of the next task. If it¡¯s too high, 1 wouldn¡¯t mention it to avoid a total wipeout.¡± H H At a loss for words, Jiang He waspletely baffled by Mo Xiao¡¯s response. It was just the order of a few messages, yet Mo Xiao had thought so deeply about it. She hadn¡¯t even considered that possibility. ¡°So, it makes sense to eliminate the Holy Mother first in troubled times. Yourpassionate heart might be the key reason for our total wipeout,¡± Mo Xiao said in a deep tone. ¡°Let me remind you again, restrain your useless kindness. If you really want to help others, there¡¯s a giant Buddha in Leshan. You can make ite alive and sit on its shoulders.¡± ¡°???¡± Just as Jiang He was feeling perplexed, Tao Yaoyao¡¯s voice sounded once again, breaking the silence. ¡°Jiang He! Mo Xiao! Come up here! My grandfather wants to see you!¡± Hearing Tao Yaoyao¡¯s call, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t waste any more time with Jiang He. He directly followed the path and arrived in front of an extremely sturdy and towering tree. There was a spiral staircase surrounding the tree, and Mo Xiao and Jiang He climbed up the stairs and entered the exquisitely crafted wooden house on top of the tree. As soon as they entered the house, they saw an elderly figure standing before them. This was an extremely old man with a face full of wrinkles. He had a pair of wise eyes, and his dark green hair hung gently behind him. In his hand, he held a wooden staff that resembled a dry branch. ¡°Hello, outsiders,¡± the old man greeted them with a kind smile. ¡°Elder, greetings,¡± Mo Xiao said respectfully upon seeing him. [Wood Spirit Elder, Dark Gold Rank Boss] Level: ??? Attributes: ??? Introduction: It seems to be the first wood spirit in the world. It has extremely powerful strength and might be the true owner of the Wood Mystic Realm. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so polite. Yaoyao has already told me everything that happened earlier. Thank you for your help, and 1 thank you on Yaoyao¡¯s behalf.¡± Elder Wood Spirit bowed very sincerely to the two of them. Mo Xiao immediately sidestepped the bow. It was a bad omen for an elder to bow to a junior like this; it might even shorten his lifespan. ¡°You are too kind. We are outsiders, and your matters are merely missions for us. We are like adventurers, just doing a trade,¡± Mo Xiao said indifferently. When Elder Wood Spirit heard this, he looked at Mo Xiao with surprise and then chuckled, ¡°Interesting human kid. Since that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t beat around the bush and get straight to the point. ¡°We, the Wood Secret Realm, are indeed facing a problem. I discovered traces of an evil aura invading our Wood Secret Realm a long time ago,¡± Elder Wood Spirit said with a serious expression. ¡°Evil aura?¡± Mo Xiao immediately became serious upon hearing this term. Others might not know about this evil aura, but Mo Xiao did! After all, he had a bunch of fragments of the evil aura in him. ¡°I don¡¯t know where this evil auraes from exactly. Although 1 wanted to investigate personally, 1 am the elder of the Wood Spirit n and considered the core of the vige. I cannot leave this ce casually,¡± Elder Wood Spirit exined. Hearing the Elder¡¯s words, Mo Xiao initially thought he would talk more about the evil aura, but it seemed the Elder was going to issue a quest directly. ¡°Outsiders, could you trouble yourselves to investigate this strange evil aura for us?¡± Elder Wood Spirit asked. ¡°But¡­¡± Jiang He was about to say something, but Mo Xiao interrupted her. ¡°May I ask, where should we investigate? We have already cleared the territory of the Wood Demon Flower, so there shouldn¡¯t be any evil aura there, right?¡± Mo Xiao asked calmly. ¡°The Wood Demon Flower is just a part that has been infected by the evil aura. To the east of the Wood Secret Realm, there is a cave where the evil aura seems to have first appeared. Would you be willing to go and take a look?¡± Elder Wood Spirit inquired. Mo Xiao furrowed his brows slightly. ¡°A cave? What cave? Do you have any specific information?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. That cave is a forbidden area for the Wood Spirit n, and no one has ever been there. It is said that the other end of the cave leads to another world,¡± Elder Wood Spirit said calmly. ¡°Human, are you willing to explore it for us? If you are, we can offer you a generous reward!¡± ¡°Such as?¡± Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked. ¡°Hehe, I can only tell you when you return¡­¡± As Elder Wood Spirit spoke, his expression changed slightly and his gaze fell directly on Mo Xiao¡¯s chest. ¡°This is¡­ a divine beast jade?¡± Chapter 73 - 73: Blue and Silver Entanglement!! Chapter 73: Blue and Silver Entanglement!! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Why do you have a divine beast jade on you?¡± Elder Wood Spirit noticed the Dragonite Jade on Mo Xiao¡¯s body. His expression instantly became serious. Seeing Elder Wood Spirit¡¯s sudden change in demeanor, Mo Xiao subconsciously took two steps back and gripped the hilt of the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. However, before Mo Xiao could draw his sword, numerous blue-green vines surged out from all directions. In an instant, they bound his limbs to the wall. [¡°Elder Wood Spirit activates the Blue Silver Vine Bind, and you are now in a restrained state.¡±] Blue Silver Vine Bind? Could it be that this guy is Tang San?! ¡°Kid, don¡¯t be agitated. I have no intention of fighting you.¡± As Elder Wood Spirit spoke, he slowly walked up to Mo Xiao. His withered palm slowly touched the divine beast jade on Mo Xiao¡¯s chest. Before Elder Wood Spirit¡¯s palm could touch the Dragonite Jade, a sacred light suddenly appeared on Mo Xiao¡¯s chest. Immediately, the strange vines on Mo Xiao¡¯s body quickly disappeared, as if nothing had happened. ¡°Woof!¡± A childish bark sounded, and Elder Wood Spirit¡¯s body suddenly trembled. Mo Xiao didn¡¯t even have time to react. The old Wood Spirit Elder nimbly pulled away. The next moment, Little Gray emerged from the sacred light. ¡°Wood Spirit Tribe Elder greets the auspicious beast.¡± With Little Gray¡¯s appearance, Elder Wood Spirit¡¯s body trembled as if he were sieved. Even so, he forcefully suppressed the trembling, bowed respectfully to Little Gray. Seeing this sudden change, Mo Xiao was also stunned. He looked at Little Gray, who was beside him, with a strange expression. ¡°Little Gray, what are you doing?¡± Upon hearing this, Little Gray looked at Mo Xiao beside it in confusion. Clearly, it did not know what happened either. It didn¡¯t even know why it suddenly came out. ¡°Are you¡­ the master of the auspicious beast?¡± Elder Wood Spirit looked at Little Gray and then at Mo Xiao, his eyes full of disbelief. Mo Xiao casually lifted Little Gray from the ground and said, ¡°Yes, is there a problem with that?¡± H H Elder Wood Spirit¡¯s expression changed several times, but soon, he regained hisposure, and his kind smile reappeared on his face. ¡°Respected human warrior, may I ask if you are still willing to ept the mission I previously issued?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to look at my Dragonite Jade?¡± Mo Xiao asked in confusion. Hastily, Elder Wood Spirit shook his head, ¡°Of course. Since you are the master of the auspicious beast, you are naturally chosen by the Dragonite Jade, its qualified guardian. I need not worry about the Dragonite Jade in your possession.¡± ¡°You seem to know a lot about this thing.¡± Mo Xiao looked at Elder Wood Spirit as he held the Dragonite Jade in his hand. Elder Wood Spirit looked at the Dragonite Jade in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand, and a trace of imperceptible desire and greed shed in his eyes. But it came and went quickly, and Mo Xiao didn¡¯t notice Elder Wood Spirit¡¯s expression. ¡°Sort of, but I don¡¯t know much either.¡± Elder Wood Spirit chuckled and said, ¡°Regarding the information about the Dragonite Jade, consider it a reward for the task.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine,¡± Mo Xiao pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s talk about it after the task ispleted.¡± [Mission: Investigate the forbiddennd of the Wood Spirit tribe. Please go to the easternmost cave of the Wood Secret Realm to investigate any anomalies.] As the system prompt sounded, a marker instantly appeared on the map in front of Mo Xiao and Jiang He, indicating the location of the cave. ¡°This matter is extremely important to our Wood Spirit tribe and involves numerous dangers. Please be careful.¡± ¡°Yes, I understand. Let¡¯s go.¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and turned to leave. Elder Wood Spirit continued, ¡°Oh right, can I trouble the two of you to tell Yaoyao toe in for a moment?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and left Elder Wood Spirit¡¯s room. Inside the wooden house, Elder Wood Spirit watched the two as they gradually left. The smile on his face and the amiability vanished. His eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent. Not long after, Tao Yaoyao hurriedly walked into the wooden house. ¡°Grandfather, did you call for me?¡± Tao Yaoyao poked her head in and asked with a smile. Elder Wood Spirit nodded slightly and waved at Tao Yaoyao. ¡°The people from the human realm have already made contact with the divine beasts.¡± ¡°What!¡± Hearing this, Tao Yaoyao¡¯s expression changed drastically. ¡°Aren¡¯t the divine beasts already suppressed?! How can the humanse into contact with them?!¡± ¡°After all, we only suppressed them and didn¡¯t actually kill them. I saw the Dragonite Jade on that human¡¯s body. Based on the aura, it should be the power of the Azure Dragon¡­¡± ¡°The first to appear is actually the strongest divine beast power?¡± Hearing this, Tao Yaoyao¡¯s expression instantly became even uglier. ¡°Moreover, the auspicious beast has also appeared beside them. Be it the divine beast jade or the auspicious beast, they can¡¯t stay by the side of humans! We can¡¯t let the two of them leave the Wood Mystic Realm!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Meanwhile, outside the Wood Spirit Vige. ¡°Mo Xiao, what happened just now? Why didn¡¯t I understand what you were saying?¡± Not long after the two of them walked out of the vige, Jiang He could no longer suppress her curiosity and asked directly. When Mo Xiao heard this, he nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°I¡¯m not too sure about the details. It¡¯s just a piece of equipment I obtained that was seen by that Wood Spirit Elder. This equipment might be special and he might want to take it away.¡± ¡°Huh? He wants to take it away? Then why did he let go of you in the end?¡± Jiang He was shocked when she heard this and quickly asked. ¡°Little Gray¡¯s name is the Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast. It¡¯s a very special divine beast. Perhaps Little Gray has a natural racial suppression on them, or they believe in this auspicious beast very much. Therefore, when they saw that I¡¯m Little Gray¡¯s master, they naturally let go of me.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Jiang He nodded thoughtfully and asked again, ¡°Then¡­ what exactly is that equipment of yours? Can you let me take a look?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± Mo Xiao shook his head. ¡°This equipment is very special. I can¡¯t share the attribute panel. Anyway, you just have to know that it¡¯s a tool that can revive.¡± ¡°Resurrection?!¡± When Jiang He heard these two words, her eyes instantly widened. She had thought that Mo Xiao was already very strong, but she did not expect him to have such a powerful tool on him. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Don¡¯t tell anyone, okay?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He seriously, but an inexplicable bad feeling welled up in his heart. ¡°I hope it¡¯s just an illusion,¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself. He subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of the Wood Spirit Vige before continuing to advance towards the mission location.. Chapter 74 - 74: Flame Entanglement Chapter 74: me Entanglement Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ording to Elder Wood Spirit¡¯s description, they had probably walked for half an hour before reaching the forbidden area of the Wood Spirit Tribe. ¡°No wonder they call this ce forbidden. Even the Wood Spirits would find it difficult to stay here, let alone ordinary humans.¡± Mo Xiao remarked as he looked ahead at a towering mountain. Only at the foot of the mountain where they stood, there was a huge cave. And there was nothing near this high mountain. There were only bare rocks, and the nearest tree was thousands of meters away. This was not an ordinary mountain range; it was a volcano. asionally, mes would flicker at the top of the mountain. This environment was indeed forbidden for the Wood Spirits, as they were nts and such temperatures would cause them to wither and die due to dehydration. ¡°A sacred ce of wood turned into something resembling a sacred ce of fire. Quite intriguing,¡± Mo Xiao chuckled. ¡°Let¡¯s go andplete the task quickly to move on to the next stage.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang He nodded and carefully followed behind Mo Xiao. [Congrattions on arriving at the mission location. Mission update.] [Character introduction: A strange evil aura has appeared in the Wood Spirit¡¯s sacred ce, seemingly originating from the outside. However, the entire Wood Spirit¡¯s sacred ce is almost under the control of Elder Wood Spirit. Only this area, with its extremely high temperature and no vegetation, remains beyond the observation of Elder Wood Spirit. Perhaps the source of that evil aura lies here.] [Please explore the entire cave and identify the source of the evil aura! Exploration progress: o%.] ¡°An exploration mission? Based on the percentage explored on the map?¡± Mo Xiao was surprised by the mission prompt. He had never seen such a task before. Even in his previous life, exploring terrain like this was usually turned into an achievement, not a formal mission. Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao walked straight into the cave. Unlike other caves, this one was not dark because it was an active volcano. The walls of the cave were filled with mes, making it seem like they could explode at any moment. ¡°Could the source of the evil aura reallye from such a ce? The Scarlet Demon Vine is a nt after all. How could it survive in a ce full of mes?¡± Jiang He couldn¡¯t bear the temperature and expressed doubt. ¡°The Scarlet Demon Vine is not a nt-type monster. It only attaches itself to the Wood Demon Flower and bes the Scarlet Demon Vine. Its true form should be a crystal filled with evil aura,¡± Mo Xiao calmly exined. ¡°Really? How do you know so much?¡± Jiang He asked, puzzled. Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and said, ¡°When 1 teleported into the hidden space earlier, 1 had encounters with creatures of this evil aura. The Scarlet Demon Vine is already considered weak.¡± Just as Mo Xiao was exining, countless vine-like structures resembling mes suddenly shot up from the ground and entangled them. The appearance and color of these vines were no different from the patterns on the rocks, making it impossible to distinguish them from the surroundings. This sudden attack startled both of them. Without hesitation, Mo Xiao drew his huge sword and swung it, breaking all the vines in one strike. Immediately, all the vines broke, and the true form of the vines was also revealed under Mo Xiao¡¯s mighty force. [me Flower Vine, Elite] Level: LV20 HP: 3,000/3,000 Strength: 200 Agility: 100 Spirit: 250 Endurance: 200 Physique: 250 me Spit: Spews zing mes from its mouth, dealing fire damage to nearby targets. Fiery Vines: Releases fiery red vines that entangle the target, continuously inflicting fire damage. me Burst: Gathers all the fire energy in the body and causes high fire damage to enemies in the area after an explosion. It was a vine with a red me-like flower. The color and patterns on its body were very simr to magma. It was impossible to tell if it was a monster or a rock. ¡°This is a fire¡­ nt?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression also became strange upon seeing the monster. ¡°Are there really such bizarre creatures?¡± Logically, wood and fire elements should be in direct conflict. Mo Xiao had never thought such a creature would exist. While Mo Xiao was still feeling surprised, the me Flower Vine moved again. It instantly retracted all the vines and emitted a dazzling red light all over its body. The next moment, a terrifying burst of mes erupted from its body, directly charging at Mo Xiao with the mes. ¡°Mo Xiao!!!¡± Seeing this scene, Jiang He eximed again. ¡°Why are you shouting?¡± Mo Xiao rolled his eyes at Jiang He with a speechless expression. At the same time, he nimbly grabbed the entangled me Flower Vine. -[31 Only then did Jiang He react. She looked at Mo Xiao and realized that there was only negligible damage on his head. [You brushed against the me Flower Vine, and the skill ¡®Fiery Vines¡¯ has been copied!]] [Ding! The power of the Fire God has been triggered! ¡®Fiery Vines¡¯ has evolved into ¡®me Entanglement¡¯!] [me Entanglement: Releases ropes made of mes to entangle enemies, inflicting minor fire damage and causing them to be immobilized.] ¡°Control skill?¡± Mo Xiao was slightly delighted. He didn¡¯tck survival skills or attack skills right now. However, he didn¡¯t have any control skills. Finally, he got one, so naturally, he was happy. ¡°If we hadn¡¯te to this ce, I might have forgotten that I even had the power of the Fire God skill,¡± Mo Xiao muttered. He had been surprised by the mes just now. But he quickly realized that the power of the Fire God skill made him immune to all fire damage. There was no need for him to be afraid. So Mo Xiao just stood there and let the mes of the me Flower Vine wash over him, which allowed him to copy the new skill. Now, he turned his attention to the me Flower Vine, which had extinguished its mes. Without waiting for it to move, Mo Xiao threw it away and shed it with his sword. Instantly, he killed it. [You have killed the me Flower Vine Elite and gained 5,000 experience points!] ¡°5,000 experience points? The experience here is pretty good,¡± Mo Xiao nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Let¡¯s continue forward. This ce should be full of fire-type creatures. You stay behind me; 1 have the skill to be immune to all fire damage.¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang He first opened her mouth, but no words came out. She had already been surprised enough by Mo Xiao. After all, he had the power of resurrection now, so immunity to fire damage was not that surprising anymore. ¡°Eh, Mo Xiao, quicklye and take a look. What is this?¡± Just as Jiang He was about to follow Mo Xiao and move forward, something special suddenly piqued her curiosity.. Chapter 75 - 75: Crisis Chapter 75: Crisis Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°What is it?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao also walked to Jiang He¡¯s side. Looking down, he saw a crystal clear red bead lying quietly on the ground. Mo Xiao carefully examined the bead on the ground. Then, he used his Detection technique on the bead. [Mysterious Bead] Description: A peculiar bead that seems to contain a faint evil aura. ¡°Is there only a description? Does it have no other function?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and picked up the bead in confusion. But he couldn¡¯t see anything special about it. Seeing this, Jiang He pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Could this be a mission item?¡± ¡°Perhaps, but let¡¯s not dwell on it for now. Let¡¯s just take it with us,¡± Mo Xiao said casually. Mo Xiao could not be bothered to think too much about it. Their priority was to fully explore the map andplete the quest. Since the bead had a trace of evil aura, it must be rted to the quest. It wouldn¡¯t hurt to carry it with them. Mo Xiao casually tossed the bead to Jiang He and asked her to keep it. Then, they set off again. Meanwhile, in the shadows behind them, two figures cautiously emerged from the corner and observed Mo Xiao and Jiang He as they walked toward the passage. The onlookers narrowed their eyes thoughtfully. ¡°They are just humans, and their levels are quite low. Is it necessary to be so vignt?¡± One of them asked, looking at the Wood Spirit beside him with curiosity. The Wood Spirit replied with a serious expression, ¡°You better take it seriously. Don¡¯t underestimate them just because they are only around level 20. Theirbat power is terrifying. They even dealt with the Scarlet Vine.¡± ¡°The Scarlet Vine? That guy just came to me, and only its core was left.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care about the rest, but this ce is your territory. We mustn¡¯t let these outsiders leave here alive!¡± The Wood Spirit said resolutely. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just two humans? I don¡¯t even consider them a threat.¡± An hourter. Mo Xiao and Jiang He found a shady corner to rest. Although the world had turned into a game, they were not just data. They were living beings, and they would get tired eventually. Jiang He opened the quest panel and nced at it, feeling a bit helpless. ¡°This map is really huge. We¡¯ve been walking for so long and only explored 30%.¡± ¡°As long as the rewards are proportional to the difficulty, it doesn¡¯t matter. The harder it is, the better the rewards will be. After all, we are here to level up, and it¡¯s the same no matter how we do it.¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°We¡¯ve rested enough. Let¡¯s continue.¡± Jiang He nodded slightly. As she was about to get up, she suddenly eximed, ¡°All!!!¡± A huge hand had grabbed her, lifting her into the air. The next moment, a giant figure surrounded by mes emerged from behind the stone wall. It tightly clutched Jiang He in its hand. It was as if it wanted to crush her to death. ¡°Mo Xiao! Save me!!¡± Jiang He cried out in panic. Before Jiang He could react further, she suddenly felt the pressure on her body lighten. Then, she plummeted toward the ground. However, her expectation of being heroically caught in mid-air was shattered. Instead, she crashed hard onto the ground, experiencing intense pain that made her grimace. ¡°You couldn¡¯t catch me, could you?¡± Jiang Heined. Turning her head, she saw that the giant figure that had grabbed her had dimmed its fiery aura. Its massive bodyy motionless on the ground. ¡°I thought it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to fall from that height.¡± Mo Xiao spoke nonchntly, ignoring Jiang He¡¯s dissatisfaction. He kept his eyes fixed on the giant figure, which was now motionless. Although Jiang He was a little annoyed, she held back her words and asked Mo Xiao, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this giant?¡± ¡°After killing it, it also didn¡¯t give any experience points,¡± Mo Xiao said in a t tone. ¡°Also? What do you mean?¡± ¡°Just like the Scarlet Vine, although it is much weaker than the Scarlet Vine, it also has something simr to the Scarlet Vine¡¯s eyeball,¡± Mo Xiao said. The sword directly shattered the upper body of the giant. Soon, they found an empty space inside the giant¡¯s body. ¡°There should have been a core here, but it¡¯s gone now. It must have fled after 1 killed it.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao slowly put away the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. ¡°It seems we haven¡¯te to the wrong ce. This should be the source of the so-called evil aura.¡± ¡°So¡­ What do we do next?¡± Jiang He asked instinctively. ¡°Continue exploring. Let¡¯s finish the quest first,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. Although the evil aura was mysterious, it was not something to be feared for Mo Xiao. His only goal was toplete the quest and level up. At the same time, in the deepest part of the cave. ¡°I can¡¯t believe that guy was so overpowered! He insta-killed me in one strike!¡± A red-glowing orb floated in mid-air. Then, it transformed into an illusory figure of a person. ¡°I already said that the two of them are very strong, but you didn¡¯t listen.¡± Not far away, the Wood Spirit from before said with some helplessness, ¡°What about the Scarlet Vine? Where is it? Let it join us.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t help us for now. Its core was damaged, so it can¡¯t possess anything temporarily.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t your true form even stronger? Why don¡¯t you just appear in your original form? Why do you have to possess puppets made of other substances?¡± The Wood Spirit asked with great puzzlement. ¡°Although my true form is powerful, it is also more fragile. It takes longer to recover from injuries. Once it¡¯s hurt, it will take at least 10 days or half a month to fully recover.¡± Hearing this, the Wood Spirit fell silent. ¡°Fine, since you don¡¯t want to use your true form, then apart from the Elder, there¡¯s no one else in this Wood Secret Realm who can match that guy¡¯s strength.¡± ¡°In that case, let¡¯s cooperate a little.¡± The Wood Spirit said and walked up to the glowing orb, saying, ¡°Please capture me.¡± iQn ¡°They have a lot of goodwill towards us Wood Spirits, especially towards me.¡± The Wood Spirit exined as she detached her arm with a palm strike. ¡°¡­Why are you doing this?¡± The illusory figure looked at the Wood Spirit¡¯s actions with a strange expression. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s simple. Once we capture one of them, given the nature of humans, the other one will definitely hesitate to act. At that time, we will be able to deal with them easily. This is the ridiculous sympathy of humans.¡± ¡°Tao Yaoyao, you¡¯re bing more and more ruthless. You¡¯re bing more and more like your grandfather.¡± When the Wood Spirit heard this, a faint smile appeared on her lips. ¡°But I still can¡¯tpare to my grandfather.. If he were here, would we need to go through all this trouble?¡± Chapter 76 - 76: Abnormality Chapter 76: Abnormality Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Twenty minutester. Inside the cave. As Mo Xiao continued forward, his unease grew stronger, and his brows furrowed tighter. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, Jiang He felt puzzled and asked, ¡°Mo Xiao, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why does your face look so grim?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice anything unusual?¡± Mo Xiao asked seriously. ¡°Unusual?¡± Jiang He¡¯s heart tightened at these words, and she quickly looked around. However, she did not find anything wrong. ¡°No¡­ Are you just overthinking things?¡± Mo Xiao shook his head and said, ¡°Since we killed that giant just now, all the monsters in this cave seem to have disappeared. We haven¡¯t encountered a single one ever since. ¡°Before, every few steps we took, some monsters would appear. Now, it¡¯s as if they¡¯ve all vanished. This doesn¡¯t make any sense.¡± Hearing this, Jiang He pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Could it be that the giant we killed earlier was the lord of this area? After its death, all the surrounding monsters scattered?¡± H 11 Hearing Jiang He¡¯s naive words, Mo Xiao looked at her helplessly. Why does such an innocent and pure-hearted person exist in this apocaiyptic world? ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go.¡± Mo Xiao sighed and didn¡¯t bother discussing it further with Jiang He. They continued to advance further into the cave. After walking for a while, Jiang He suddenly stopped in her tracks. Seeing Jiang He¡¯s sudden action, Mo Xiao also stopped and frowned, asking, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Mo Xiao, did you hear someone asking for help?¡± Jiang He furrowed her brows, looking around anxiously. The sound of someone in distress made her feel uneasy. Mo Xiao shook his head and said, ¡°No, this is the Wood Spirit¡¯s domain, and this cave is a forbidden ce for the Wood Spirits. How could there be any Wood Spirits seeking help here?¡± ¡°Could I have misheard it?¡± Jiang He bit her lip in doubt, then followed Mo Xiao, continuing forward. However, after a few steps, Jiang He suddenly stopped again. ¡°I¡¯m sure I didn¡¯t mishear it! I can still hear someone asking for help! We can¡¯t just ignore it!¡± ¡°Jiang He, have you forgotten what I said before?¡± Hearing Jiang He¡¯s words, Mo Xiao instantly frowned. ¡°I remember, but¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no ¡®but.¡¯ Our main objective is toplete the mission, not to do anything else.¡± Mo Xiao coldly nced at Jiang He and didn¡¯t want to argue any further. Just as Mo Xiao was about to turn around and continue forward, Jiang He gritted her teeth and turned in another direction, running towards it. ¡°Hey!¡± Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao was taken aback. ¡°Jiang He!¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao raised his hand and grabbed at Jiang He. ¡°Buzz!¡± Before Mo Xiao could touch Jiang He, her body emitted a crimson light, and Mo Xiao¡¯s hand was forced back. ¡°This is!¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression changed, but he still hastened his pace and followed behind Jiang He. Following Jiang He¡¯s lead, the two of them walked for a long time, finally arriving in an extremely spacious cave. Based on Mo Xiao¡¯s gaming experience from his past life, such a ce was most likely their of a boss. ¡°Mo Xiao! Look! It¡¯s Yaoyao!!¡± As Mo Xiao remained vignt, Jiang He¡¯s startled cry rang out again. Following Jiang He¡¯s pointing finger, Mo Xiao saw Tao Yaoyao lying on the ground. One of her arms was already missing. Other than her, there was only a huge throne-like chair behind her in this cave. At this moment, Tao Yaoyao seemed to have heard Jiang He¡¯s call. She raised her head with a pained expression and pleaded, ¡°Jiang He¡­ save me¡­¡± Seeing this scene, Jiang He¡¯s heart tightened. Without hesitation, she rushed directly towards Tao Yaoyao withrge strides. Seeing this, Mo Xiao raised his hand and stopped Jiang He. ¡°Are you stupid?! This is obviously a trap! Can¡¯t you tell?!¡± ¡°Trap? I can¡¯t tell! Yaoyao needs my help now! I have to help her! Perhaps this is also a mission!¡± As if knowing Mo Xiao¡¯s personality, Jiang He directly mentioned the reason for the mission. ¡°Don¡¯t go!¡± Mo Xiao coldly stopped her. ¡°¡­¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang He gritted her teeth. ¡°Get out of the way! If you don¡¯t go, I¡¯ll go!¡± Jiang He casually pushed Mo Xiao¡¯s hand away and quickly ran towards Tao Yaoyao. Seeing Jiang He¡¯s actions, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression turnedpletely cold. Bringing her to level up was a deal with Jiang Shan. He saved her because of the help she had given him in the beginning. He stopped her because of their friendship. Since she was in a hurry to die, he naturally had no obligation to stop it. ¡°Yaoyao, are you alright?¡± Seeing this, Jiang He¡¯s heart tightened, and without hesitation, she rushed over to Tao Yaoyao. H j H ¡°Are you alright?¡± Looking at the weak-looking Tao Yaoyao, Jiang He became even more worried. ¡°I¡­ Of course I¡¯m fine,¡± Tao Yaoyao said, but her expression suddenly changed. Her originally pure eyes were now shing with a hint of red light. Seeing this, Jiang He was startled and took a step back. However, he realized that Tao Yaoyao¡¯s limbs had turned into vines. They had wrapped around her limbs without her noticing, binding her tightly like clothes. ¡°Tao Yaoyao! What are you doing?!¡± Jiang He looked at Tao Yaoyao, who hadpletely transformed into a wooden figure, in horror. ¡°What do 1 want to do? Of course, I want to be one with you!¡± Tao Yaoyao said excitedly. ¡°Humans, I finally caught you! Hahaha! I don¡¯t have to pretend anymore!¡± Not far away, Mo Xiao watched the scene with an unchanged expression. He had already warned Jiang He, but since she didn¡¯t listen, it was her own doing. As Tao Yaoyao¡¯s body fused with Jiang He¡¯s, Jiang He found herself unable to move. ¡°Mo¡­ Mo Xiao! Save me!!!¡± Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao in horror, but no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn¡¯t break free. She couldn¡¯t even use her skills, including her Detection ability. ¡°Mo Xiao, do you want to save her? She¡¯s yourpanion, isn¡¯t she?¡± Tao Yaoyao controlled Jiang He¡¯s body and slowly walked towards Mo Xiao, saying, ¡°If you want to save her, hand over the Dragonite Jade. Oh, and that Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast, give it to me too. Then I¡¯ll spare Jiang He.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this a great deal? Mo¡­¡± Before Tao Yaoyao could finish her words, she noticed that Mo Xiao had disappeared. By the time she reacted, a massive heavy sword had ruthlessly stabbed into her and Jiang He¡¯s chest. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not interested. Die..¡± Chapter 77 - 77: Body Taken Away Chapter 77: Body Taken Away Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios The huge Four Symbols Heavy Sword mercilessly pierced the chests of Tao Yaoyao and Jiang He. Even Tao Yaoyao, not to mention Jiang He, had a face full of disbelief. Their health bars instantly dropped to zero. Looking at their shocked expressions, Mo Xiao¡¯s face remained unchanged, showing no remorse. He casually withdrew the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. He did not feel guilty at all. [You killed the evil spirit Tao Yaoyao and gained 10,000 experience points!] [You fiercely rubbed Tao Yaoyao¡¯s core and obtained the talent ¡®Mental Interference¡¯!] [Mental Interference (SS-rank): After activation, you can influence the thoughts and actions of others to a certain extent based on their soul strength.] ¡°¡­¡± Looking at this talent, Mo Xiao was silent for a moment. ¡°Soul strength? What attribute is that? Is it a mental attribute?¡± [The strength of the soul has yet to be digitized. It is a special characteristic of living beings and not a mental attribute. The specific strength is for yers to explore on their own.] ¡°Fine¡­¡± Mo Xiao could only give up after hearing the system¡¯s exnation. [You rubbed Jiang He¡¯s heart fiercely and gained the special talent ¡®Virgin Mother Power.¡¯ ¡°???¡± Hearing this name, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression instantly became lively. ¡°What¡¯s this? Virgin Mother Power? Is Jiang He really a Virgin Mother?¡± [Virgin Mother Power: A power that can only be awakened by benevolent individuals. Increases healing effects by 200%, healing received by 200%, and damage dealt to evil creatures by 500%. Ites with a skill, Divine Healing: Restores 50% of the target¡¯s health after use.] ¡°Healing abilities? Although the name is somewhat nauseating¡­ it¡¯s actually quite strong.¡± Mo Xiaomented and looked at Jiang He on the ground again, sighing helplessly. ¡°We were friends after all. I should bring your body back with me.¡± Just as Mo Xiao was about to approach Jiang He, countless scarlet vines suddenly rose from the ground. They instantly wrapped around the bodies of Tao Yaoyao and Jiang He. ¡°Scarlet Demon Vine?!¡± Mo Xiao suddenly frowned. Just as he was about to strike with his sword, a huge stone, simr to the scarlet demon vine, shot out. It was as if a huge fist had mmed hard into Mo Xiao¡¯s body. ¡°ng!¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao instinctively raised his sword to block. However, the expected damage rebound did not appear. Instead, he was sent flying over 10 meters away, almost being thrown out of the cave. ¡°This is¡­ a knockback skill?¡± The rebounding ability of the ck Tortoise Armor could only reflect damage, and Mo Xiao had no way to deal with control-type skills. Unless he hadn¡¯t put away his attack just now, triggering the invincible effect of the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. However, considering the number of powerful monsters Mo Xiao had encountered, his first reaction to an attack was naturally to activate his shield reflection. ¡°Human!! You win this time! Our n willpletely eradicate you next time!¡± Without waiting for Mo Xiao to continue attacking, the scarlet vines wrapped around Tao Yaoyao and Jiang He and disappeared into the ground. ¡°Jiang He was also taken away¡­¡± Watching Jiang He and Tao Yaoyao disappear, the uneasiness in Mo Xiao¡¯s heart intensified. ¡°Just now, it seems I didn¡¯t receive the notification of Jiang He¡¯s death¡­ but¡­¡± Mo Xiao frowned and opened the team panel. At this moment, Jiang He¡¯s message had already disappeared from the team. ¡°Is there a bug? It shouldn¡¯t be¡­¡± Mo Xiao was silent for a long time before finally shaking his head. Obviously, he was unable to figure out the reason and not willing to dwell on it. ¡°But since Tao Yaoyao is an evil spirit, then¡­¡± Thinking of this, Mo Xiao quickly opened his mission panel. Sure enough, the previous mission had disappeared. ¡°Damn it! The mission is gone! I wasted so much time!¡± Seeing the vanished mission, Mo Xiao was close to exploding in anger. Just as Mo Xiao was infuriated, the system¡¯s voice rang out again. [Based on the developments, Tao Yaoyao turns out to be an evil Wood Spirit, and the Wood Spirit Vige seems to have been taken over by evil spirits. Rumor has it that a unique creature is imprisoned in this cave. Please find it, yer!!] [Mission updated!] [Find the special creature in the cave!] ¡°This mission can update in real-time too?¡± Looking at the information in front of him, Mo Xiao was slightly stunned. ¡°But it looks like this one is easier than the previous one¡­ the reward won¡¯t decrease, will it?¡±¡± [The reward will not change. yers can rest assured toplete it!] ¡°That¡¯s good. Let¡¯s go.¡± Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the cave. ¡°Demon Vine, is Tao Yaoyao really dead?¡± The illusory figure frowned and asked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Demon me. Tao Yaoyao is just her host body. It¡¯s not that easy to shatter her core with one strike,¡± Demon Vine said very calmly. Demon me nodded slightly. ¡°That¡¯s good, but why did you bring this human along?¡± ¡°Because she¡¯s not dead yet.¡± As Demon me spoke, the scarlet vines slowly dissipated. A blood-colored ball appeared directly above Jiang He. The next moment, a blood-colored light directly hit Jiang He. ¡°Cough cough!¡± As this energy hit her, Jiang He¡¯s health instantly fully recovered. She opened her eyes abruptly, instinctively shouting, ¡°Mo Xiao!¡± ¡°She didn¡¯t die? Does she have some special equipment?¡± Demon me asked curiously while looking at the now-conscious Jiang He. ¡°She probably does, but it doesn¡¯t matter to us,¡± Scarlet Demon Vine said ferociously. Hearing these two voices, Jiang He finally reacted. ¡°Scarlet Demon Vine? Demon me Giant?! Let go of me quickly! Mo Xiao wille and kill you soon!¡± Looking at the two monsters before her, Jiang He was terrified. After all, both of them were high-level bosses whose attributes she couldn¡¯t even see! ¡°Who you are doesn¡¯t matter, and who¡¯sing for us doesn¡¯t matter either. Now you belong to us.¡± Just then, the cold voice of Tao Yaoyao sounded slowly in Jiang He¡¯s mind. ¡°Yaoyao?¡± Hearing this voice, Jiang He was slightly relieved. She wanted to ask her to help, but suddenly, she froze. Because she remembered that it seemed to be because of Tao Yaoyao that she got into trouble in the first ce. ¡°Human beings are so naive. The soul is truly weak. A slight temptation and they fall for it.¡± Tao Yaoyao sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just sleep peacefully. Your body is mine!¡± Jiang He couldn¡¯t even shout before countless vinespletely enveloped her. A few minutester, Jiang He slowly stood up from the ground. ¡°Is this a human body? It¡¯s really weak-¡± ¡°Tao Yaoyao, oh no, Jiang He, do you need us to help you level up?¡± Chapter 78 - 78: Wood Spirit Ancestor Chapter 78: Wood Spirit Ancestor Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios An hourter. At the end of the Wood Spirit Forbidden Land, Mo Xiao casually killed a me Flower Vine. He surveyed the surrounding environment. ording to the map disy, he had already walked through the entire cave, which was the Wood Spirit Forbidden Land. In theory, this should be the ce to encounter the boss, and after defeating it, he should have encountered the NPC for the mission. But now, not only was there no boss, there was not even a passage or door. There were no clues rted to the mission. ¡°What¡¯s going on¡­ Could it be that the person I¡¯m looking for isn¡¯t in this cave?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, a weak voice suddenly sounded in his mind. ¡°The owner of the Dragonite Jade¡­ Could you please save me?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡± Hearing this voice, Mo Xiao drew out the Four Symbols Heavy Sword once again. ¡°I am the elder of the Wood Secret Realm, the Ancestor of the Wood Spirits. I am right behind the stone wall in front of you. Can you release me?¡± [Mission updated!] [You have found an extraordinary being. Smash the wall and rescue the Ancestor of the Wood Spirits!] Mo Xiao, who had been hesitating, immediately shed with his sword without thinking after hearing the mission prompt. -15,820! Although the damage was very terrifying, the stone wall in front of him only trembled slightly and stopped moving. ¡°Oh? So sturdy?¡± Mo Xiao was taken aback by this scene. ¡°Detecting technique!¡± [Evil Energy Barrier, HP: 984,180/1,000,000] ¡°Your barrier¡¯s HP is ridiculously high!¡± Seeing the number in front of him, even Mo Xiao could not help but widen his eyes. Although he was surprised, this amount of HP was nothing to Mo Xiao. It wasn¡¯t that thick. He could just keep shing until it broke. ¡°Dragon Wings! ¡°Power Halo! ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Full-strength attack! ¡°Shattering Mountains and Rivers!¡± Explosive fireball! ¡°Soul Extinguishing ck me!¡± ¡°Cloud-Piercing Thrust!!¡± Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao once again activated his skills and poured them onto the barrier. -122,728! -317,040! Immediately, countless high numbers flickered on the barrier. In just a few minutes, the barrier in front of him was instantly filled with cracks and shattered. As the barrier shattered, a huge cave appeared in front of Mo Xiao. Unlike the ces Mo Xiao had passed before, there were no mes here. Instead, it was a quiet and peaceful underground forest. ¡°A lush cave?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the scene in front of him and paused for a moment before asking, ¡°Wood Spirit Ancestor, where are you?¡± ¡°Eh, you¡¯re actually a human?¡± At this moment, thergest tree in the cave suddenly twisted its body. Then, a benevolent and gentle face appeared on its massive trunk. ¡°This is¡­¡± [Wood Spirit Ancestor, Diamond Elite Boss] Attributes: ??? Level: ??? Introduction: The root existence of the Wood Secret Realm. The Wood Secret Realm exists because of it. If it dies, the Wood Secret Realm will disappear as well. ¡°A diamond-level boss¡­ Does this guy want me to fight it too?¡± Seeing this title, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but swallow nervously. ¡°I don¡¯t have anybat abilities; otherwise, 1 wouldn¡¯t be confined here.¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor said calmly. ¡°Are you confined here? But you¡¯re a tree, and you should be growing here, right?¡± Mo Xiao said instinctively. When the Wood Spirit Ancestor heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, ¡°I transformed into the form of a tree because my purification ability is the strongest in this state. I can resist the corrosion of evil aura.¡± As he spoke, the huge body of the Wood Spirit Ancestor suddenly emitted a dazzling green light. After a while, it turned into an old man, but its limbs were entwined by scarlet vines. It seemed to have grown with its body. ¡°Human, you are the one chosen by the Dragonite Jade, please save me.¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor pleaded. Mo Xiao nced at the scarlet vines wrapped around the Wood Spirit Ancestor. He recognized them. They were undoubtedly Scarlet Demon Vines. But for Mo Xiao, killing people was something he could do, but saving them was a whole different story. ¡°Then, Wood Spirit Ancestor, what should 1 do?¡± Mo Xiao asked doubtfully, ¡°Just cut these things apart?¡± ¡°No.¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor shook his head and said, ¡°These vines have already grown together with me. Unless you kill me, it¡¯s absolutely impossible to cut them off. IVLy life force is simply too huge.¡± ¡°Then what should 1 do?¡± Mo Xiao was just about to raise his heavy sword to take a look when he heard the Wood Spirit Ancestor¡¯s words and stopped. The Wood Spirit Ancestor looked at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°1 believe in you. You will definitely have a way.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of believing in me! You have to teach me how to do it!¡± [Mission updated!] [You have found the imprisoned Wood Spirit Ancestor. He is cursed. Please remove the curse and save the Wood Spirit Ancestor, saving the entire Wood Secret Realm!] ¡°I¡¯m a f*ckingbat professional! How can Ie into contact with curses¡­¡± Before Mo Xiao could finish speaking, he suddenly paused. Lift the curse? Can I really do it? Thinking of this, Mo Xiao walked directly to the scarlet vines. ¡°Sacred Radiance!¡± In the next moment, his body instantly lit up with holy light. Then, he shed at the vines. -0 Immediately, a huge 0 appeared on the vines. Clearly, Mo Xiao¡¯s attack had not even broken through the defense of the Wood Spirit Ancestor. ¡°It won¡¯t work, child. IVLy defense is too strong. It¡¯s impossible for you to cut it off directly.¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor shook his head gently when he saw this. ¡°Alright, looks like my Radiance level is too low. It¡¯s useless.¡± Mo Xiao put away the Four Symbols Heavy Sword and dispelled the Sacred Radiance. ¡°Little Gray,e out.¡± With a call from Mo Xiao, Little Gray instantly appeared in front of him. ¡°Howl-¡± At the cute sound, the Wood Spirit Ancestor¡¯s eyes instantly widened. ¡°Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast Cub?! How is this possible?!¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor said in shock, ¡°Isn¡¯t the Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast already extinct?! Why is it still here?!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either. In any case, it should be able to save you.¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste his breath and directly instructed Little Gray, ¡°Little Gray, use Divine Spirit Radiance on those vines and save this Wood Spirit Ancestor.¡± When Little Gray heard this, it cried out obediently and quickly ran to the Wood Spirit Ancestor. The next moment, a gentle holy light erupted from Little Gray¡¯s body. This light, both in intensity and range, was much stronger than the Sacred Radiance that Mo Xiao had used before. With the appearance of the Divine Spirit Radiance, the red vines that were entwined around the Wood Spirit Ancestor¡¯s body suddenly burst into golden mes. Although no damage could be seen, the vines gradually turned into ashes and disappeared.. Chapter 79 - 79: The Power of Wood and the Power of Earth Chapter 79: The Power of Wood and the Power of Earth Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Looking at the burning golden mes, the expression of the Wood Spirit Ancestor instantly became joyful. Seemingly, these mes didn¡¯t cause him any burning sensation. Instead, they made him feel extremelyfortable. As the scarlet vines disappeared, the Wood Spirit Ancestornded back on the ground. Clearly, he hadpletely regained his mobility. ¡°It¡¯s been so many years¡­ I¡¯m finally free.¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor moved excitedly, swaying his branches and looking gently at Mo Xiao. Upon noticing the Wood Spirit Ancestor¡¯s gaze, Mo Xiao instinctively took a step back, cing his right hand on the Four Symbols Heavy Sword behind him. ¡°You¡¯re not a boss, are you? Do I have to fight you again to save you?¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor chuckled when he heard that. ¡°Boss? Indeed, in terms of rank and level, I am what you people from the other realm call a ¡®boss.¡¯ ¡°However, bosses can be friendly or hostile, can¡¯t they?¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor smiled. His ancient incarnation lit up with green light once again, returning to the form of a giant tree. The next moment, Mo Xiao felt the ground tremble violently. Looking closely, he saw that the stones under the Wood Spirit Ancestor¡¯s feet had disappeared, reced by countless thick and sturdy roots deeply embedded in the earth. ¡°Thank you, child of the other realm, for saving me. Please ept my gift.¡± [Ding, mission aplished! Reward in progress¡­] [Congrattions on obtaining 50,000 experience points!] [Congrattions on obtaining an item: Wood Spirit Seed] [Wood Spirit Seed: When used, it can resurrect a creature that died within thest hour.] [The Wood Spirit Ancestor has blessed you! ] [Congrattions on learning a special skill: Wood Maniption Power!] [Wood Maniption Power: After activation, you can easily control the surrounding nts like a Wood Spirit. The damage is linked to your spiritual power and the multiplier is linked to the strength of your soul. Consumption: 100 points per second.] ¡°Wood Maniption Power?¡± Looking at the information in front of him, Mo Xiao was taken aback. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have a skill simr to this one. ¡°Wood Maniption Power?¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself and activated the skill with a thought. The next moment, as Mo Xiao¡¯s mind activated the skill, the vines around him suddenly came to life, swirling around ording to his intentions. ¡°Is this the kind of skill this world should have?¡± Mo Xiao mumbled. With a sudden thought, countless vines instantly entwined around a nearby rock next to him. ¡°Crack!¡± With a cracking sound, the huge rock instantly cracked. Mo Xiao¡¯s magic power decreased by about one-tenth in that instant. Clearly, the power of this skill was proportional to the consumption. The greater the power, the greater the consumption. ¡°How about it? The Power of Wood Spirit of our Wood Spirit n.¡± At this moment, the Wood Spirit Ancestor had also returned to his human form and walked slowly to Mo Xiao¡¯s side. ¡°It¡¯s powerful. I¡­¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t finish his sentence before he noticed that the Wood Spirit Ancestor lookedpletely different from before. Before, he was an old man on the verge of dying, but now he had turned into an extremely handsome young man. This level of handsomeness was almost on par with his own! ¡°You are the Wood Spirit Ancestor?¡± Looking at the man in front of him, Mo Xiao was stunned for a while before he reacted. ¡°Hmm? Is there a problem?¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor smiled slightly and said, ¡°We Wood Spirit n members are spirits born from trees. We have no upper limit on lifespan. As long as we don¡¯t encounter natural disasters or man-made cmities, we can live forever and maintain our appearance easily.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time for us to go back. The Wood Spirit n has beenpletely dominated by evil spirits. Can you help me take back the Wood Spirit vige?¡± [Mission issued!] [The Wood Spirit n has been dominated by evil spirits, and even the secret realm of the wood is in danger. Oh, warriors of the human race! Oh, chosen hero of the divine beast!

What should I do?¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor was satisfied with Mo Xiao¡¯s response and smiled, ¡°The first thing we need to do is leave this ce.¡± As he spoke, the Wood Spirit Ancestor¡¯s gaze fell on Mo Xiao. It seemed that he wanted Mo Xiao to take him out. ¡°You are such an old ancestor, can¡¯t you use some kind of spatial teleportation or something?¡± Mo Xiao asked with a strange expression. ¡°Hmm? I am the Wood Spirit Ancestor, a wood-type being. How could I possess spatial abilities? Alright, from now on, 1 will slumber in you. Please take me out,¡± the Wood Spirit Ancestor said. Regardless of whether Mo Xiao agreed or not, the Wood Spirit Ancestor directly turned into a green leaf andnded on his head. [Wood Spirit Ancestor¡¯s Leaf: The incarnation of the Wood Spirit Ancestor. When worn, it can withstand three fatal attacks! ] H H ¡°Such a powerful ancestor, and it can only withstand fatal attacks. At least give me an experience bonus!¡± Mo Xiaoined. Unfortunately, the Wood Spirit Ancestor didn¡¯t give Mo Xiao any face and continued to stay motionless on Mo Xiao¡¯s head. Mo Xiao looked around and did not find any special treasures here. ¡°There¡¯s really nothing.¡± Mo Xiao reluctantly gave up lingering and turned around to leave the huge cave, heading towards the exit. Not long after he walked outside, Mo Xiao seemed to remember something and suddenly opened his panel. [Power of Earth Control: After activation, you can easily control the surrounding nts like an Earth Spirit. The damage is linked to your spiritual power and the multiplier is linked to the strength of your soul. Consumption: 100 points per second.] ¡°It¡¯s actually the same type of skill¡­ I almost forgot about it.¡± Speaking of this, Mo Xiao suddenly had an idea. ¡°Earth Control Power!¡± Mo Xiao murmured, and in the next moment, the rocks and soil around him began to tremble, Under Mo Xiao¡¯s control, the winding and twisting cave in front of him soon turned into a straight passage. ¡°Impressive! I can actually alter the map!¡± Excitement surged within Mo Xiao as he looked at the system map that had changed due to his skill. Not only did this mean he could leave this ce faster, but it also meant that if he encountered any maps with caves in the future, he could just create a direct path! Looking at the passage in front of him, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t say anything else. He activated the Shadowless and sped forward. In just over 10 minutes, Mo Xiao rushed out of the cave with the Wood Spirit Ancestor. [Mission updated!] The moment Mo Xiao stepped out of the cave, the system prompt sounded again. [Your departure with the Wood Spirit Ancestor has attracted the attention of the evil spirits. Please be extremely careful!

The difficulty is¡­¡± Before Mo Xiao could finish his words, a series of faint sounds came from nearby. Immediately, Mo Xiao felt the ground tremble violently. Then, the ground split open, and two monsters covered in red light slowly crawled out of the crack. These two monsters were made of rocks, but these rocks emitted a zing red light. They were incredibly huge, and the surrounding air twisted due to their high temperature. ¡°Rock infused with fire?¡± Looking at the monsters in front of him, Mo Xiao remained calm and directly used his ability to probe.

It seems to be rted to the Demon Vine.¡± Mo Xiao looked at the Scarlet Demon me standing behind him and indeed found something resembling a core on its chest. After identifying the weak point, Mo Xiao changed his usual attack method and didn¡¯t draw his sword immediately. ¡°I wonder if these two are elite monsters.¡± Mo Xiao scratched his chin. ¡°Let¡¯s see if I can get something out of this.¡± The next moment, Mo Xiao pped his hands, and countless tree roots emerged from the ground. Then, they formed a huge wooden figure about 10 meters tall right under Mo Xiao¡¯s feet. ¡°Hey hey, witness my Wood Maniption Technique!¡± Just as Mo Xiao was about to attack, he noticed that the wooden figure under his feet seemed to be emitting some smoke, as if it might catch fire at any moment. ¡°All¡­ It seems this ce is not suitable for wooden golems to fight.¡± Mo Xiao scratched his head. He had finally mastered the power of manipting wood, authentic Wood Release, so naturally, he wanted to demonstrate some skills from the anime of his previous life. But it appeared that wood was not suited for battle in this ce. Well then, let¡¯s put on some armor.¡± Mo Xiao closed his eyes and gently snapped his fingers. The previously calm ground shook once again. Countless rocks and soil rose up like a whirlpool and swiftly wrapped around the wooden figure. In just a few breaths, a stone armor was equipped on the wooden figure¡¯s body. ¡°Though it doesn¡¯t look quite like it, it could pass as Susanoo Great Buddha, right?¡± Mo Xiao grinned. ¡°It¡¯s time for me to take action!¡± It didn¡¯t take Mo Xiao long to create the wooden figure and the armor, but why hadn¡¯t the two monsters attacked yet? Because before they moved, Mo Xiao had already bound them with the power of earth. Killing them was a piece of cake for Mo Xiao. Having obtained two new skills and with no one else around, Mo Xiao naturally wanted to indulge himself a bit. The wooden figure, now wearing armor, stepped forward with heavy steps and quickly approached the Scarlet Demon me. Its enormous fist heavily smashed into the demon¡¯s head. In an instant, mes scattered in all directions, and the Scarlet Demon me¡¯s head turned into fragments. -4,000! At the same time, arge number appeared directly on the Scarlet Demon me¡¯s body, indicating an instant kill. ¡°Hmm¡­ Not very powerful, but it consumes quite a bit of mana. This skill isn¡¯t suitable forbat¡­¡± Mo Xiaomented. As Mo Xiao spoke, he quickly took out the Flying General¡¯s Bow. He swiftly shot an arrow. In an instant, Volcanic Fury turned into a sieve and copsed into pieces on the ground. [You have killed Volcanic Fury and gained 3,000 experience points!] ¡°Huh? Does the Scarlet series of monsters not give experience points? Or maybe they can¡¯t be killed unless the core is destroyed?¡± Mo Xiao checked his message panel but found that he still hadn¡¯t gained any experience, and no kill messages appeared. Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, a scarlet light instantly shed in front of him. At the same time, Demon me¡¯s arrogant voice rang out: ¡°Hahahaha! Foolish human! You clearly know that we rely on specific creatures to transform into monsters, but you still dare to create such a powerful puppet for us! Hahahaha! Thank you so much!¡± With the scarlet light shining, the giant under Mo Xiao¡¯s feet was enveloped in a red glow. ¡°Huh? Why is this body so weak?¡± As soon as Demon me attached itself to the giant, it was dumbfounded. Contrary to what it had imagined, this body was incredibly weak,cking even the ability to move,pletely different from its previousbat strength. ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, you seem to be rted to the fire and rock elements, right?¡± Mo Xiao asked the giant under his feet. ¡°What if I am?¡± Demon me replied fiercely. ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice that the stones on this giant¡¯s body are just an outeryer of armor?¡± Mo Xiao said with a strange expression. ¡°Huh? What?¡± Before Demon me could finish speaking, it found that this new body was suddenly floating in the air. ¡°Oh- I didn¡¯t expect that 1 could still control it after you attached yourself.¡± Mo Xiao eximed in surprise, and then, with a thought, he directly controlled the stone armor to fly in front of him. ¡°Let me see what you really are, using my probing ability.¡± [Scarlet Demon me] Level: LV50 Attributes: ??? Introduction: A special creature born from the dense evil aura. It can only fight by attaching itself to other creatures. ¡°Still can¡¯t see anything¡­¡± It seemed that the Scarlet Demon me could sense Mo Xiao¡¯s probing ability and panicked, instantly detaching itself from the armor, ready to escape. ¡°You¡¯re just daydreaming.¡± Mo Xiao sneered. With a thought, all the rocks formed arge, wrapping the Scarlet Demon me. ¡°Let¡¯s catch you first.. We¡¯ll talk about the restter!¡± Chapter 81 - 81: Scarlet Leaf Spirit? Why Can’t I Kill Her? Chapter 81: Scarlet Leaf Spirit? Why Can¡¯t I Kill Her? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios As he spoke, Mo Xiao directly controlled the surrounding gravel andpletely enveloped the Scarlet Demon me. Immediately, this scarlet ball the size of a basketball. There was no movement at all, as if it had turned into a real stone. Just as Mo Xiao was about to put this thing into his backpack, countless scarlet vines appeared out of thin air and rushed towards Mo Xiao from all directions. Mo Xiao was also shocked when he saw this. He hurriedly drew out the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. As he prepared to defend himself, these vines suddenly changed directions. They bypassed him, instantly wrapping around the stone in his hand. Then, like slingshots, they forcefully flung the stone into the volcano behind him. After throwing the stone, the vines lost their vitality and fell to the ground. ¡°What¡­ What¡¯s going on?¡± Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. Those scarlet vines seemed to be the technique of the Scarlet Demon Vine. Not only was the damage high, but the speed was also extremely fast. That was why Mo Xiao instinctively tried to block them. Who would have thought that these things would just run away after sending the Scarlet Demon me off? Looking at the withered scarlet vines on the ground, Mo Xiao was filled with doubts. But he could not be bothered to investigate further. Who cared what it was? To Mo Xiao, as long as it didn¡¯t stop him from leveling up, everything else had nothing to do with him. ¡°The Wood Spirit Ancestor hasn¡¯t woken up, and the mission hasn¡¯t been updated. Looks like it¡¯s just a small episode.¡± Mo Xiao touched the leaves on his head. Seeing that the Wood Spirit Ancestor didn¡¯t react, he didn¡¯t say anything else and continued on his original path towards the Wood Spirit Vige. Unlike when he came, Jiang He, this burden, was no longer around. Mo Xiao also moved much faster. In just a few minutes, they returned to the forest. As soon as he entered the forest, Mo Xiao frowned because the surrounding environment had changed greatly. A dense evil aura constantly emitted from the forest. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled¡­ Apanied by a heavy thud, a huge leaf spirit fell from the sky andnded heavily in front of Mo Xiao. Compared to the leaf spirits he had encountered before, this one waspletely different. It was several timesrger in size and covered with eerie scarlet markings. ¡°Is this a Leaf Spirit?¡± [Scarlet Leaf Spirit] Level: LV30 HP: 8,000/8,000 Strength: 200 Agility: 150 Spirit: 350 Endurance: 300 Physique: 400 Super Regeneration: Under the sunlight, its vitality will recover at a crazy speed of 10% per second! gue Poison Mist: Releases a fatal poison mist that causes arge amount of poison attribute damage to surrounding creatures and has a certain chance of poisoning the target.

Mutant Power: Under the protection of the scarlet power, when its health points exceed 1%, it will not be instantly killed. ¡°You can¡¯t be instantly killed if your HP exceeds 1%?¡± Seeing this skill, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows. Seeing this message, Mo Xiao pulled out his Four Symbols Heavy Sword without thinking, ¡°It seems that this guy can be a little challenging.¡± ¡°Roar!!!¡± At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly sounded. At the next moment, a dark purple mist instantly spewed out of Leaf Spirit¡¯s mouth. In an instant, it covered the forest in front of him. The surrounding trees seemed to be corroded and sizzled in the poisonous fog. The pungent smell made Mo Xiao frown. ¡°Sacred Radiance!¡± Following Mo Xiao¡¯s low shout, the holy light appeared again. Wherever the light enveloped, the dark purple poisonous fog instantly disappeared, unable to approach at all. However, the surrounding poisonous fog was still dense and hadpletely blocked Mo Xiao¡¯s vision, making it impossible to see the target¡¯s location. ¡°Blocking my vision?¡± His expression did not change. In the next moment, he directly raised the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. ¡°Sea of Fire!¡± With the appearance of the first me, the surrounding poisonous fog seemed to have been ignited, instantly turning into raging mes that were burned clean in an instant. Hidden in the poisonous fog, Leaf Spirit was also covered in mes at this time, roaring in extreme pain. ¡°Since it¡¯s impossible to kill you in one blow, then let¡¯s do it in two.¡± Mo Xiao said calmly and walked slowly to Leaf Spirit. ¡°me Entanglement!¡± With the activation of the skill, countless ropes made of mes appeared in an instant and tightly bound Leaf Spirit. Although the mes were small, it was very difficult for Leaf Spirit, a wood-element monster, to endure. However, being imprisoned, it had no other way except to constantly recover its health. ¡°Soul Extinguishing ck me!¡± The next moment, a ck me instantly converged on Mo Xiao¡¯s palm, and under Mo Xiao¡¯s control, it flew to the front of Leaf Spirit. However, it didn¡¯tunch directly, but floated quietly in front of Leaf Spirit. ¡°Go on.¡± With a soft cry from Mo Xiao, the ck me wasunched in an instant and hit Leaf Spirit fiercely. -12,089 Suddenly, a huge damage number appeared directly above Leaf Spirit¡¯s head, instantly emptying Leaf Spirit¡¯s health points, leaving only thest drop of blood. At this moment, Mo Xiao stabbed it with his sword. -10,504 Another terrifying damage appeared. This kind of attack power was obviously enough to kill Leaf Spirit twice. However, at this moment, Mo Xiao¡¯s brows directly furrowed. Because before Leaf Spirit was cut by him, her HP seemed to have risen by a lot, restoring her HP to more than 1%, although this was enough for Leaf Spirit to die several times. However, because of this strange skill, it still survived. ¡°What the hell¡­ The two attacks should have been stuck within a second.¡± Mo Xiao frowned, a faint sense of unease in his heart. He looked around but did not find anything wrong. ¡°Bang!¡± Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, a sound simr to a rope snapping suddenly sounded. The fiery rope on Leaf Spirit suddenly disappeared. At this moment, its huge body ruthlessly pressed down on Mo Xiao, who was at its feet. Seeing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s two Four Symbols Heavy Swords appeared at the same time, one in front and one behind, and shed fiercely at Leaf Spirit¡¯s body. -10,504! -21,008! Two more high damages shed on Leaf Spirit¡¯s body, one after another. However, it still had some health points left. At this moment, on a tree not far away, a young girl holding a scarlet longbow was looking smugly at Mo Xiao, who was frowning. ¡°This healing arrow is quite useful-¡° Chapter 82 - 82: Dark Spirit Archer Chapter 82: Dark Spirit Archer Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Regenerating again??¡± Looking at Leaf Spirit, who was still not killed by him, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. ¡°This doesn¡¯t make sense!¡± ording to the skill description, its regeneration rate shouldn¡¯t be like this! Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, Little Gray suddenly ran out from the pet space. Before Mo Xiao could react, it charged straight towards Leaf Spirit. ¡°Little Gray!¡± Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao was startled and quickly called out, ¡°This guy is still alive! Come back quickly!¡± Just as Mo Xiao was astonished, Little Grey ran back after making a circle. However, when it returned, it had something in its mouth. Little Gray came back to Mo Xiao¡¯s feet and swiftly dropped the object beside him. ¡°Ow!¡± ¡°What is this?¡± Mo Xiao frowned and directly grabbed it. [Healing Arrow: An arrow imbued with the power of healing. Ites from the skill Healing Arrow and cannot be used a second time.] ¡°Healing Arrow?¡± Seeing this name, Mo Xiao¡¯s brows instantly furrowed. Although he was not very familiar with this skill, he had seen it before. It was the skill Jiang He had used previously. Mo Xiao hadn¡¯t seen the message of Jiang He¡¯s death before, so he felt something was amiss. Now seeing this familiar skill again, although he couldn¡¯t be sure it was done by Jiang He, the possibility was very high. ¡°Jiang He, is it you?¡± Mo Xiao threw the arrow aside and looked around, shouting loudly towards the front. ¡°Oh dear, it seems I¡¯ve been discovered-¡± As Mo Xiao¡¯s voice fell, a familiar girl, Jiang He, appeared directly on the head of the massive Leaf Spirit. Looking at the girl in front of him, Mo Xiao frowned. From her appearance, she was indeed the Jiang He who had been following him all along. But she gave him apletely different feeling now. Although he couldn¡¯t put it into words, his intuition told him that she was not Jiang He. ¡°You¡¯re not Jiang He.¡± Mo Xiao said coldly. ¡°Yes and no.¡± Jiang He smiled slightly. At this moment, Mo Xiao seemed to see someone else in her. ¡°Are you Tao Yaoyao?¡± Mo Xiao asked with a frown. Jiang He chuckled and said very calmly, ¡°I¡¯m Jiang He, Tao Yaoyao, and also the Scarlet Demon Vine.¡± ¡°However, Demon Vine is still sleeping, so it can¡¯t greet you for the time being.¡± When Mo Xiao heard this, his expression became solemn. ¡°What about Jiang He?¡± ¡°Jiang He? Aren¡¯t I Jiang He? Hehehehe¡­¡± A deepughter sounded from Jiang He¡¯s mouth. Leaf Spirit under her feet suddenly twitched crazily. The scarlet patterns on her body seemed toe to life, wriggling all over her body. And Leaf Spirit¡¯s body seemed to be rapidly depleting. It was shrinking rapidly, as if it was being drained of blood, which then surged into Jiang He¡¯s body. ¡°Mmm¡­ Is this what true power feels like? Is this the advantage of being human? Hahaha! Mo Xiao! Why don¡¯t you hand over your body to me too?¡± As Jiang Heughed, countless scarlet vines burst forth from beneath her, wrapping around her and forming a strange vine armor. The most eye-catching part of this armor was the scarlet bead on her chest. At the same time, an immensely powerful aura rose from Jiang He, giving Mo Xiao the feeling of facing a Guardian once more. [Evil Spirit Archer, Jiang He] Level: LV25 HP: 13,000/13,000 Strength: 1,250 Agility: 1,400 Spirit: 1,150 Endurance: 1,300 Physique: 1,300 Skill: ??? Introduction: Possessed by the malevolent wood spirit Tao Yaoyao, absorbing the power of the Scarlet Demon Vine, three consciousnesses intertwine to form apletely new entity. Using Jiang He¡¯s body as the main host, it¡¯s a special monster controlled by Tao Yaoyao¡¯s consciousness. Apart from Mo Xiao, no one knows her true identity. Her formidable power strikes fear into the hearts of others! Looking at the attributes that almost surpassed his own, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression showed shock for the first time. ¡°How can your attributes be so high?!¡± Mo Xiao asked in disbelief. ¡°Do you want them too? Just hand over your body to me, and I¡¯ll let you experience this immense power! How about it?¡± Jiang He smiled wickedly, her words seemingly carrying a powerful charm. However, it seemed to have no effect on Mo Xiao. ¡°Nice try.¡± Mo Xiao took a deep breath, and his emotions calmed down instantly, ¡°Even if your attributes are higher, it doesn¡¯t matter to me. As long as you have a health bar, I¡¯ll show you the might of the Heavenly Dao!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve killed someone stronger than me!¡± With that, Mo Xiao instantly disappeared like a ghost. ¡°This move again!¡± Looking at the disappearing Mo Xiao, Jiang He frowned. Although Tao Yaoyao had never seen this skill, Jiang He had encountered it before. However, Jiang He didn¡¯t pay much attention to it, as Mo Xiao usually used it for traveling purposes. But when Tao Yaoyao saw it through Jiang He¡¯s memories, she understood. If an enemy used this move, it would be an extremely terrifying skill! ¡°Scarlet Hell!¡± Suddenly, Jiang He stomped on the ground, and countless crimson vines spread out like a spiderweb, covering the entire area within a few breaths. Mo Xiao, who had been preparing to find an opportunity, noticed that his invisibility hadn¡¯t been detected. However, wherever he had walked, these crimson vines would emit a strange light, revealing his whereabouts. ¡°There! Scarlet Rain of Arrows!¡± Jiang He suddenly drew her longbow, and countless scarlet arrows rained down from the sky, covering Mo Xiao¡¯s location. The density of this arrow rain was extremely exaggerated, leaving no gaps to move through. Helpless, Mo Xiao had to dispel his Shadowless Technique and use War God¡¯s Reaction to block the arrows. Seeing Mo Xiao dispel his invisibility, Jiang He grinned, and once again drew her scarlet longbow. In the next moment, a giant scarlet arrow aimed at Mo Xiao. As if gathering power continuously, the longer it took, the brighter the scarlet light on the arrow became. Seeing this, Mo Xiao remained calm. He had Block, and no matter how powerful the skill was, he could still send it back. Just as Mo Xiao was thinking this, an unimaginably speedy red light struck him instantly, and he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, causing him to fly backward. [-999,999¡ä.] [Four Symbols Veil has been triggered! Some of your HP is forcibly preserved!] ¡°!!!¡± Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded.. Both the attack power and the speed of that arrow were simply too overwhelming! Chapter 83 - 83: Undefeatable Jiang He Chapter 83: Undefeatable Jiang He Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Mo Xiao looked solemnly at Jiang He, who was not far away with a yful expression. His expression was unpleasant. No matter how much he thought about it, he could not understand it. Jiang He was just a level 20 elf archer. Although elf archers were a rare profession, it was impossible for them to have such powerful skills at around level 20. After all, not everyone was like Mo Xiao, who had a talentparable to using cheats. Tao Yaoyao was just an NPC that he could easily kill. Even with the elite-level demonized Leaf Spirit, her attributes shouldn¡¯t be this strong! He almost got killed by that arrow just now! Mo Xiao frowned, unable to figure out the reason at all. ¡°Could it be that after Jiang He fused with these monsters, her profession underwent some changes?¡± Mo Xiao muttered, and his HP instantly recovered with the help of the Dragon King¡¯s Pendant. ¡°The skill that could directly kill me and surpass my reaction speed.¡± ¡°It seems 1 need to change my battle strategy.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he gently waved the Four Symbols Heavy Sword in his hand. Two familiar magic arrays instantly lit up beside Mo Xiao. ¡°Come out, Skeleton Lord.¡± Mo Xiao used the Skeleton Lord Summoning Technique that he had not used for a long time. As the Skeleton Lord appeared, groups of Skeleton Soldiers were also summoned by the Skeleton Lord. They appeared beside Mo Xiao. The Skeleton Lord¡¯sbat strength was not strong, and its speed was slow. Although its attack power was decent, it was impossible for it to hit Jiang He, a flexible archer. Mo Xiao used this skill to rely on their shared life and equalize the damage. The level 20 Skeleton Lord¡¯s HP had already reached 15,000 points, so two of them had 30,000 points. Coupled with the group of skeleton soldiers here, even if Jiang He attacked with the same level of attack as before, it was impossible to instantly kill Mo Xiao. With the appearance of thest skeleton, Moxiao instantly took action. ¡°me Entanglement!¡± Countless vines formed by mes appeared out of thin air and wrapped around Jiang He. However, with Jiang He¡¯s current speed, how could this skill restrain her? However, just as Jiang He was about to calmly dodge, she felt her feet stop suddenly. Jiang He subconsciously looked down and saw that her feet had sunk into the ground. Although she could easily break free, this moment was enough. The fiery vines in the air instantly wrapped around Jiang He¡¯s body. They imprisoned Jiang He on the spot. ¡°Dragon Wings! ¡°Power Halo! ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Full-strength attack! ¡°Shattering Mountains and Rivers!¡± In an instant, Mo Xiao¡¯s signature five skills poured out directly at Jiang He. A violent sword qi whistled towards Jiang He with a destructive power. At the same time, Mo Xiao quickly changed his equipment and the flying bow appeared in his hand. ¡°Rain of arrows!¡± ¡°Hurricane Arrow!¡± ¡°Sea of fire!¡± Explosive fireball! ¡°Soul Extinguishing ck me!¡± Almost instantly, Mo Xiao threw out all the offensive skills he could use in one go- Mo Xiao knew very well that there was no bnce in this world. An existence with powerful attack power definitely had extremely powerful life-saving abilities. And the truth was just as Mo Xiao had thought. The moment Mo Xiao¡¯s attack reached Jiang He, her body lit up with a strange red light. Then, all of Mo Xiao¡¯s skills seemed to prate Jiang He. At the same time, a huge MISS popped up above Jiang He¡¯s head. ¡°This set of attacks of yours is really scary.¡± Seeing that it had prated his attack, Jiang He pretended to be afraid and said, ¡°Fortunately, Jiang He is here. Otherwise, I might have died this time.¡± As she spoke, Jiang He slowly took out a small stone from her pocket. The moment Jiang He took it out, the stone exploded and fell to the ground. [Illusory Stone: After use, it can turn the body into an illusion for five seconds. In an illusion, it can ignore any attack.] ¡°A prop?¡± Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils constricted. Clearly, Jiang He was not a pure monster. She still had human abilities. ¡°Are you done? It¡¯s my turn next!¡± As Jiang He spoke, she drew the strange scarlet longbow in her hand again. This time, the longbow in her hand seemed toe alive, constantly twisting and expanding. Seeing Jiang He¡¯s actions, Mo Xiao naturally couldn¡¯t just wait for her to attack. Mo Xiao quickly switched equipment and flew the longbow directly into Mo Xiao¡¯s hand. Immediately, countless arrows shot out from Mo Xiao¡¯s hand and whistled towards Jiang He. The moment Mo Xiao¡¯s attack arrived, a familiar barrier instantly appeared in front of Jiang He, directly blocking all of Mo Xiao¡¯s arrows. ¡°Scarlet Barrier¡­¡± Looking at this familiar barrier, Mo Xiao¡¯s face instantly darkened. Since the Scarlet Demon Vine had a barrier, this meant that Jiang He might still have the Leaf Spirit¡¯s life-saving skill. As long as her health exceeded 1%, she could not be killed in one strike. Just as Mo Xiao was frowning, a ball of scarlet light instantly shot out from Jiang He¡¯s hand. In the blink of an eye, as if crossing space, it instantly appeared in front of Mo Xiao. The red light hit Mo Xiao¡¯s body heavily. Immediately, countless scarlet vines pierced through his chest like sharp des. [-2,000!] [-2,000!] [-2,000!] A series of damages as high as 2,000 continuously appeared on Mo Xiao¡¯s body. Even with the Dragon King Pendant¡¯s umted health regeneration, he could not withstand this rapid rate of health deduction. At this moment, the leaf above Mo Xiao¡¯s head suddenly emitted a gentle light, and the crimson vines that had been firmly attached to him suddenly trembled and crazily shook, peeling off from Mo Xiao in an instant. In almost an instant, it stripped off Mo Xiao¡¯s body. ¡°Human, you have mastered the power of the Wood Spirit n. Why don¡¯t you use it? So why don¡¯t you use it? No matter how evil the Scarlet Demon Vine is, it¡¯s just a nt.¡± The ethereal voice of the Wood Spirit Ancestor slowly rang in Mo Xiao¡¯s ears. The next moment, the entire forest seemed toe alive. Countless tree branches and vines swarmed towards Jiang He at a terrifying speed. ¡°!!!¡± Seeing this scene, Jiang He¡¯s pupils constricted. ¡°What¡¯s going on! Wood-controlling power?! Why is this happening?! Demon me!! Didn¡¯t you say that the Wood Spirit Ancestor has already been locked up by you?! How can this be!!!¡± Jiang He looked at the encirclement around her and gritted her teeth. The red armor on her body instantly peeled off, and her entire aura weakened greatly. Then, she suddenly jumped forward, as if blending into the air and disappeared without a trace.. Chapter 84 - 84: Azure Dragon Jade Chapter 84: Azure Dragon Jade Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [Evil Spirit Archer, Jiang He, has escaped.] ¡°Escaped?! Didn¡¯t she just jump forward? How did she escape?¡± Seeing Jiang He disappear, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. How could she be gone just like that? ¡°Your human race has some strange items, like teleportation scrolls. She probably used a teleportation scroll to leave.¡± At this moment, the Wood Spirit Ancestor slowly appeared next to Mo Xiao and spoke calmly. ¡°Teleportation scroll¡­¡± Hearing this word, Mo Xiao was also taken aback. That¡¯s right. This guy is not just a monster; she¡¯s Jiang He, a human yer. She¡¯s the youngdy of the Jiang family in the Yicheng Base City. How could she go leveling up without carrying something to save her life? ¡°If she uses a return scroll to return to the human base city, won¡¯t she be recognized?¡± Mo Xiao frowned and asked worriedly. When the Wood Spirit Ancestor heard this, he nced at Mo Xiao and shook his head slightly. ¡°The attachment ability of the Scarlet n is extremely strong. Typically, they can¡¯t be easily discovered, unless¡­¡± ¡°Unless what?¡± Mo Xiao asked. ¡°You humans also have top-notch professionals, so you should be guarding some special monsters in the Tianyuan Battlefield now. if your so-called War God appears, you might be able to find out something.¡± ¡°War God!¡± As soon as he heard this term, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes lit up. Mo Xiao might not know much about the others, but he knew a little about the War God. After all, Su Jiner had already told him that her master would personally select disciples during this college entrance exam. Maybe then, they could figure out what¡¯s going on with Jiang He. ¡°But based on your current situation, it¡¯s probably impossible to contact the War God in a short time, right?¡± the Wood Spirit Ancestor said faintly. Mo Xiao nodded slightly. ¡°It will take at least two months, after the college entrance exam begins, to have a chance.¡± ¡°Two months? Then we can only pray that the Scarlet n won¡¯t do anything too excessive.¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor sighed softly. ¡°Too excessive? What do you mean?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this and quickly asked for an exnation. The Wood Spirit Ancestor shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s hard to say.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go back to the Wood Spirit Vige. You will naturally find out the rest when you return.¡± The ancestor of the Wood Spirit said, transforming back into a leaf and quietly attaching to Mo Xiao¡¯s head once again. Seeing the Wood Spirit Ancestor turn back into a leaf again, Mo Xiao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. He could only walk towards the Wood Spirit Vige. After Jiang He disappeared, the journey was much safer. There were only a few demonized monsters left, and Mo Xiao could then kill them. Soon, Mo Xiao brought the Wood Spirit Ancestor back to the vige. ¡°Senior, we¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Very good. Thank you for your help. Please put me under the giant tree in the middle.¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao did not waste any time. He directly went to the huge tree in the center of the vige and ced the leaf that the Wood Spirit Ancestor had transformed into under the tree. As the leaf touched the huge tree, the entire tree immediately squirmed crazily and waspletely sucked in by the leaf almost instantly. The next moment, an even more ancient and huge ancient tree rose from the ground. It upied the center of the vige again. ¡°Phew¡­ I¡¯m finally back. After so many years, I¡¯m finally home.¡± The Wood Spirit Ancestor let out a long sigh, as if his heart was filled with emotions. ¡°Human, thank you for your help. Your mission has beenpleted.¡± [Mission aplished!] [Congrattions on obtaining 100,000 experience points!] [Congrattions on obtaining the reward, Wood Spirit Treasure Chest!] [Congrattions on obtaining 100,000 gold coins!] [Congrattions on obtaining Physique Fruit *10, Agility Fruit *10, Spirit Fruit *10, Endurance Fruit *10, Strength Fruit *10, Experience Fruit *10] [Congrattions, you have received a gift from the Wood Spirit Ancestor. Your detection technique has been upgraded!] [Illusion Breaking Technique: You can detect the attributes and skills of all creatures, ignoring all hidden abilities!] Looking at the information before him, Mo Xiao was stunned for a while. Gaining 100,000 experience points was decent, but it seemed slower than just killing monsters. However, these spirit fruits were Mo Xiao¡¯s main objective ining to this ce in the first ce. And these weren¡¯t the lowest-level spirit fruits either; they directly transformed into attribute fruits, which meant they could be directly absorbed to enhance attributes! Ten of them would increase his attributes by 100 points! As for the Illusion Breaking Technique, it seemed like it might not be very useful, but an upgrade was better than no upgrade. As for the Wood Spirit Treasure Chest, he would only know how it was after he opened it. ¡°How about it, little guy? How do you like your rewards?¡± Looking at the motionless Mo Xiao, the Wood Spirit Ancestor asked with a smile. ¡°Alright, they¡¯re just average.¡± Mo Xiao replied directly without hesitation. After all, he didn¡¯t get a direct four or five-level increase, so naturally, he felt it was just average. n 11 The Wood Spirit Ancestor was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Alright, since you think it¡¯s so-so, 1¡¯11 give you another reward.¡± ¡°!!¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao was instantly overjoyed. He didn¡¯t expect the reward toe this way. [Mission issued!] At this moment, the system notification sounded again. However, it wasn¡¯t about rewards being given; it was a new mission. ¡°Human, as the possessor of the Divine Beast Jade, it is your duty to search for the Divine Beast Jade! My Wood Spirit n has been guarding the will of the Azure Dragon for generations. With the disappearance of the Azure Dragon, my Wood Spirit n has also fallen into decline. ¡°Human! Now, I¡¯ll tell you the location of the Azure Dragon Jade. 1 hope you can find it!¡± [Request from the Wood Spirit Ancestor: The Divine Beast has disappeared for a long time, leaving only the legend of the divine beast jade. The Wood Spirit Ancestor entrusted the whereabouts of the divine beast jade to you. 1 hope you can find the Azure Dragon Jade! Reward: Azure Dragon Jade!] ¡°Azure Dragon Jade?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was stunned. ¡°But 1 already have the Dragonite Jade. Can 1 have both? Won¡¯t they fight each other?¡± ¡°Hehe, the divine beast jade is a jade pendant that gathers the power of all the divine beasts. You have the power of the Dragonite Jade, which means that you have been acknowledged by the Dragon God. This naturally means that you are qualified to find the Azure Dragon Jade.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ So tell me the location, then.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and asked directly. ¡°The location has already been stored in your Dragonite Jade. You will find out when you meet the requirements,¡± the Wood Spirit Ancestor said calmly. ¡°Uh¡­ there¡¯s a requirement? Shouldn¡¯t I be able to go there directly with this thing?¡± Mo Xiao asked in confusion, ¡°The map of the Dragonite Jade is for level 50, and I already took it out?¡± When the Wood Spirit Ancestor heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled, and a green light surged into the Dragonite Jade. ¡°Go, human. After level 30, this message will naturally be sent to you..¡± Chapter 85 - 85: Experience Spirit Fruit! Chapter 85: Experience Spirit Fruit! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Watching the green light pouring into his chest, Mo Xiao wanted to ask more, but he realized that the Wood Spirit Ancestor had already closed his eyes. It seemed to have turned into an ordinary tree. No matter how Mo Xiao called out, there was no response. Seeing that the Wood Spirit Ancestor fell silent, Mo Xiao could only helplessly withdraw his gaze and look elsewhere. [A new mission issued.] ¡°Hmm? A new mission?¡± [The Wood Spirit Ancestor has returned. The infected Wood Spirits have sensed a new vitality surging within them. The malevolent aura inside them is continuously being purified, but they still need some help. Please collect some materials to assist them in purifying the malevolent aura! Reward: 50,000 experience points, 10 random Spirit Fruits, and an increase in favorability with the Wood Spirit n.] ¡°There are follow-up missions, after all.¡± Mo Xiao stroked his chin thoughtfully. ¡°50,000 experience points is not bad. Let¡¯s level up here first.¡± Although the demonized Jiang He might have returned to the base city, and she might evene up with some challenges due to her identity as the young miss of the Jiang family, Mo Xiao remained calm and didn¡¯t worry about it at all. Having already made an enemy out of the Tu family, one more enemy wouldn¡¯t matter. Besides, whether it was Jiang He¡¯s matter or Tu Feiding¡¯s matter, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t think he had done anything wrong. He was prepared for the worst. Thinking about these matters, Mo Xiao involuntarily shook his head, not wanting to dwell on them any longer. He casually found a ce to sit down and took out all the rewards from the previous missions, enjoying them one by one. You rubbed the Body Fruit and it transformed into the Body Spirit Fruit!] [You rubbed the Agility Fruit and it transformed into the Agility Spirit Fruit!] [You rubbed the Stamina Fruit and it transformed into the Stamina Spirit Fruit!] [You rubbed the Spirit Fruit and it transformed into the Spiritual Fruit!] [You rubbed the Strength Fruit and it transformed into the Strength Spirit Fruit!] [You rubbed the Experience Fruit, and it transformed into the Experience Spirit Fruit!] Six types of Spirit Fruits, a total of 60 of them. Mo Xiao felt like his hands were about to rub off the skin. But he was extremely delighted. A Body Fruit could increase five points of physique, and the upgraded Body Spirit Fruit could directly increase 10 points of physique! These 50 Spirit Fruits alone could grant Mo Xiao an increase of 500 attribute points! As for the Experience Spirit Fruit, it was the first time Mo Xiao had encountered one. Judging from its name, it should directly increase experience points. [Experience Spirit Fruit: An extremely rare Spirit Fruit that, when consumed, increases the current level¡¯s experience by 1%, with no level restriction. Consumption limit: 0/10.] ¡°!!!¡± Looking at the properties of this Spirit Fruit, Mo Xiao widened his eyes. Eating one would increase the experience points by 1%? And with no level restriction?! What kind of concept was this! For top-tier professionals, obtaining one percent experience might require several days of hard work. For high-level professionals who urgently needed to level up, this was an ultimate treasure! Although it had a great effect on Mo Xiao too, everyone could only eat a total of 10. So it wasn¡¯t the right time to consume them all. ¡°I never expected to encounter something like this. If I meet a war god, maybe I can use this to exchange some favors.¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment, put away the Spirit Fruits, and took out the only treasure chest he had. [You rubbed the Wood Spirit Treasure Chest and it transformed into the Life Treasure Chest!] ¡°Life Treasure Chest?¡± Seeing the name, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow, ¡°1 hope it¡¯s not some kind of healing potion or something.¡± [You opened the Life Treasure Chest and obtained a Skill Book (Purple): Resuscitation] [Resuscitation: Can revive a friendly yer who died within five minutes!] ¡°Resuscitation skill?¡± Mo Xiao hadn¡¯t had much hope for this treasure chest, but when he saw the description, his eyes widened instantly. Skills were already extremely rare in this world. Resurrection skills were even rarer. As long as someone possessed the ability to resurrect, they would be sought after by all factions. Even though this restriction was very harsh, there was still hope of revival. ¡°It¡¯s even a purple skill¡­ If it turns red¡­¡± Thinking of this, Mo Xiao involuntarily gulped and held the skill book in his hand. [You rubbed the Revival Technique and it transformed into the Reincarnation Technique!] [You rubbed the Reincarnation Technique and it transformed into the Innate Reincarnation Technique!] n?n Innate Reincarnation Technique? Why did even the Rinnegan skill appear? [Innate Reincarnation Technique: Within a radius of 500 meters, all creatures that died within 10 days can be resurrected! (Including enemies!) The resurrected individuals can be freely chosen! Consumption: 99% MP. Cooldown: 7 days.] ¡°A range resurrection? Within 10 days? This is so powerful¡­ A skill like this should have a cooldown of one month, but it¡¯s only seven days! And with my equipment¡¯s passive effect, I could use it every three and a half days?¡± Seeing the skill description before him, Mo Xiao took a deep breath, ¡°With this skill, 1 can truly be unstoppable. If anyone finds out about it, all factions will fight to recruit me, I¡¯m afraid.¡± Mo Xiao chuckled and without any hesitation, he learned the Innate Reincarnation Technique. Though he said that, Mo Xiao currently had no intention of joining any faction. As someone with social anxiety, he preferred being a lone ranger. ¡°I¡¯ll think about all thister. Let¡¯s continue with the missions.¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself, stood up, and left the vige once again. At the same time, in Yicheng Base City. Inside the Jiang family¡¯s hall, a middle-aged man with a dignified expression was extremely angry as he scolded, ¡°Jiang Shan! Are you out of your mind? Letting Jiang He follow the target pursued by the Tu family for leveling up?! You¡¯re really ambitious!¡± ¡°Big brother, calm down, calm down. I did it to prevent Jiang He from causing trouble. That Mo Xiao is Jiang He¡¯s good friend. 1 was afraid she would find out about the Tu family¡¯s matter and directly confront them. What if we offend the Tu family?¡± Jiang Shan replied with a wry smile. ¡°Offend the Tu family? Aren¡¯t you afraid that the Tu family will send assassins to directly hunt down that Mo Xiao? What will Jiang He do then? Will she die alongside him?¡± The middle-aged man mmed the table fiercely, as if he wanted to p Jiang Shan to death. ¡°That¡­ Should I call Jiang He back? She has a return-to-city scroll with her, and she cane back quickly¡­¡± As soon as Jiang Shan finished speaking, a blue light instantly lit up in front of the two men. The next moment, Jiang He emerged from the blue light and fell heavily to the ground. When Jiang He saw Jiang Shan and the dignified man with his slightly closed eyes, a strange smile instantly appeared on his lips. Then, he fainted amidst anxious calls..

[Congrattions onpleting the circr mission to purify the Wood Spirit n and gaining 200,000 experience points! Advanced Material Treasure Chest *2] [Congrattions on sessfully reaching Level 24, with all attributes increased by 5 points, and obtaining 10 points of free attributes!] Listening to the pleasing sound of the level-up notification, Mo Xiao opened his character panel with satisfaction. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Level: LV24 (7,833/1,000,000) Profession: Solo yer Strength: 534 (+1,010) Agility: 327 ( + 55O) Spirit: 239 (+620) Endurance: 235 (+700) Physique: 235 (+900) ¡°1,000,000 experience points¡­ This is more experience than level 22 and level 23bined¡­¡± Mo Xiao frowned slightly. Within the Wood Secret Realm, all the tasks assigned to everyone had beenpleted by Mo Xiao during this half month. Due to thepletion of the purification mission, the once quiet Wood Secret Realm became lively. ¡°Mo Xiao, thank you. Without you, it would have taken our Wood Spirit n who knows how long topletely purify the realm.¡± At this moment, a familiar figure approached Mo Xiao slowly. This person was not the ancestor of the Wood Spirits but the elder Mo Xiao had encountered at the beginning. Like Tao Yaoyao, he had also been corrupted by evil energy. However, unlike Peach Yao Yao, he was not possessed by members of the Scarlet n, so he was restored to his original state by Mo Xiao during the series of tasks. ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± Mo Xiao replied calmly, looking at the elder before him. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s a pity that my good granddaughter, Tao Yaoyao, was taken away. If she could also be restored, it would be wonderful¡­¡± Elder Wood Spirit sighed and shook his head. ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s not talk about that. Mo Xiao, the Wood Realm has now beenpletely restored to tranquility, and we no longer have any tasks to give you. Shouldn¡¯t you be going back now?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve been out for half a month, it¡¯s time to go back.¡± ¡°I can sense many Wood Spirits in you. Do you have anything you want? You can exchange them with Wood Spirits.¡± As he spoke, a trading panel, much like a shop, appeared in front of Mo Xiao, listing various materials, items, and even skill books. [Wood Spirit Shop] Number of Wood Spirits: 34,063
  • 1. Spirit Fruit (10 Wood Spirits)
  • 2. Life Liquid Drop (100 Wood Spirits)
  • 3. Magic Liquid Drop (100 Wood Spirits)
  • Void Illusionary Stone (3,000 Wood Spirits) ¡°Eh? You have Void Illusionary Stones here?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was browsing, he suddenly saw a familiar material name in the list. ¡°Oh, that? It was left behind by a traveler many years ago. Unfortunately, our Wood Spirit n is not proficient in equipment forging, so keeping this thing is of no use,¡± Elder Wood Spirit exined truthfully. ¡°If you want it, I can give you a discount.¡± ¡°Only one?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and asked. Elder Wood Spirit was slightly surprised by the question, then nodded, saying, ¡°Yes, only one. Illusionary Stones are considered top-grade materials and are quite rare. We¡¯re lucky to have one. If you need it for forging, 1 can rmend a ce to you.¡± ¡°What ce?¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao was a little curious. He had traveled all over the Wood Secret Realm himself and hadn¡¯t seen anyone skilled in forging. ¡°In the Fire Secret Realm, there¡¯s a special group of humans who seem to master the legendary art of Divine Forging. As long as you pay a certain price, they can forge anything for you,¡± Elder Wood Spirit said seriously. ¡°Humans? Dwarves, perhaps?¡± Mo Xiao asked. After all, in all Western fantasy tales, Dwarves were master forgers, and since the Wood Spirit n resembled Elves in many ways, the humans the elder mentioned might be Dwarves. ¡°Dwarves? Although their forging skills are strong, they can¡¯tpare to that group of humans. But if you want to find Dwarves, they are in the Earth Secret Realm. Just give me¡­ 500 Wood Spirits, and I¡¯ll give you the coordinates and map.¡± As Elder Wood Spirit spoke, he showed a sly expression. ¡°You¡­ are truly an expert in business,¡± Mo Xiao twitched his lips twice and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take the Illusionary Stone and the coordinates of these two ces. How much Wood Spirits is that?¡± ¡°Thank you for your patronage, it¡¯ll be a total of 4,000-¡± [You obtained Illusionary Stone *1, Earth Secret Realm Map *1, and Fire Secret Realm Map *1] ¡°The coordinates have already been marked on your map. Just take a look when the timees,¡± Elder Wood Spirit said happily. Mo Xiao nodded slightly and said, ¡°By the way, do you have any Dark Gold Mother Stones?¡± ¡°This seems to be top-notch material too. We don¡¯t have it here, but we might be able to find it in the Earth Secret Realm.¡± Elder Wood Spirit shook his head. ¡°Fine¡­¡± ¡°Is there anything else you want?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the panel in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then said, ¡°I¡¯ll take all the Spirit Fruits, the skill book for Alchemy, and the refining form for Spirit Beans.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve saved up quite a lot of Wood Spirits in half a month. Buying skill books and alchemy forms will cost you a total of 30,000 Wood Spirits. Here you go Elder Wood Spirit¡¯s expression was now that of a shrewd merchant. He handed the items to Mo Xiao with excitement and then chatted with him enthusiastically. [You obtained Spirit Fruits *50] [You obtained the Alchemy skill book!] [You obtained the Spirit Bean refining form.] The Spirit Fruits were ordinary fruits that needed to be rubbed to turn into items that increased attributes. As for the Spirit Bean, they were a powerful recovery medicine. When used, they could directly recover 50% of one¡¯s Health Points and Mana Points and remove all negative effects. They were incredibly powerful. Although Mo Xiao had the Dragon King Pendant, it was still good to have some in case of unexpected situations. [You rubbed the alchemy skill book, and your alchemy skills upgraded to high-level alchemy skills!] [You rubbed the Spirit Bean form and advanced it to the Senzu Bean Form!] ¡°Senzu Bean?¡± [Senzu Bean: After use, it restores 100% of health and mana, removes all negative effects, and makes the user immune to all debuffs for five minutes.] ¡°Oh, it¡¯s really simr to the Senzu Beans from Dragon Ball. It¡¯s powerful, but I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not easy to refine.¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself for a while before suddenly looking up at Elder Wood Spirit. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze, the elder was slightly taken aback and asked, ¡°Hm? What¡¯s wrong? Is there something else you want to buy?¡± ¡°Uh, no need. I¡¯m ready to leave.¡± Mo Xiao shook his head. ¡°I see. Then 1 wish you a safe journey. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± As Elder Wood Spirit spoke, he bowed slightly to Mo Xiao and turned to leave. Watching Elder Wood Spirit leave, Mo Xiao suddenly raised his hand and gently waved at him. An illusoryrge hand instantly swept past his body. [God ? Quick Fingers sessfully released..

As a dazzling light shed, Mo Xiao appeared out of thin air in Deadman¡¯s Canyon. As soon as he teleported back, the harsh environment and and atmosphere of the Deadman¡¯s Canyon made Mo Xiao frown involuntarily. ¡°After getting used to the Wood Secret Realm, the atmosphere of this ce is really nauseating¡­¡± After stealing from Elder Wood Spirit, he immediately slipped away without hesitating. He was afraid that Elder Wood Spirit would cause trouble for him after discovering the theft. As for the two things he stole, they didn¡¯t have much significance for Mo Xiao now. Although the Wood Spirit could be used to increase the upper limit of health, it had a limit of only 20 uses. In other words, it could only increase his maximum health by 20 points. For Mo Xiao¡¯s current health value, it was only a marginal improvement. As for the profession transfer book, Mo Xiao was prepared to sell it directly. In this world, a person could only have one profession. To switch to another profession, one had to abandon the current one and possess a profession transfer book. Moreover, as the cost of the transfer, the level would also be reduced by 10 levels. Mo Xiao naturally wouldn¡¯t use such a thing. Even without the level reduction, being just a Wood Spirit Summoner, its potential could not bepared to a solo yer. While Mo Xiao was contemting where to go next, arge head suddenly approached. ¡°A Skeletal Dragon?¡± Seeing this familiar monster, Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment. However, after seeing Mo Xiao, the hostility in the Skeletal Dragon¡¯s eyes instantly disappeared. He turned his head and crawled there, no longer moving. ¡°I didn¡¯t see its attributesst time; 1 only managed to swipe one skill,¡± Mo Xiao muttered thoughtfully. Then, he used the Illusion Breaking Technique on the Skeletal Dragon. It was the first time he used the upgraded ability of his Detection Technique. [Skeletal Dragon-Realm Guardian (Bronze-level boss)] Level: LV25 HP: 30,000/30,000 Strength: 2,550 Agility: 1,300 Spirit: 800 Endurance: 1,550 Physique: 3,000 Bone Hook: Attacks a single target with sharp bone hooks, inflicting high deadly damage.

Bone Armor: Summons countless bones to form armor, increasing its physical and magical defense. Dragon Devour: Opens its huge mouth and swallows a target, continuously inflicting arge amount of undead and fire attribute damage while also recovering its own health. Dragon Fury: The Skeletal Dragon enters a furious state, increasing its attack power and attack speed while also immune to all negative states. Death Domain: Summons a death energy zone, inflicting massive destruction attribute damage to surrounding targets and causing them to enter a weakened state. H111 Looking at the attributes of the Skeletal Dragon in front of him, Mo Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air. No wonder he was almost instantly killedst time. Unexpectedly, its strength value was as high as 2,500! However, his HP was only 30,000, although his endurance was very high. However, in front of Mo Xiao, it was equivalent to zero. ¡°How much experience did 1 get from killing itst time? It seemed to be 80,000?¡± Mo Xiao said lightly as he pulled out the Four Symbols Heavy Sword from behind him. ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± -24,704! -12,352! Almost instantly, two damages that exceeded 10,000 appeared above the skeletal dragon¡¯s head at the same time. The Skeletal Dragon did not even have time to react before it turned into a pile of fragments and scattered on the ground. [You killed a Bronze Rank Boss, Skeletal Dragon and gained 50,000 experience points!] [Received Dragon Bone *4] [Obtained Dragon Soul Fragment *1] [Obtained Bronze Treasure Chest *1] ¡°Huh? Did the drop reduce so much the second time?¡± Mo Xiao frowned, clearly dissatisfied with this reward. ¡°I only have 50,000 experience points. How long will it take to grind to one million experience points?¡± ¡°How often do bosses of this level respawn in the system?¡± [Bosses in Deadman¡¯s Canyon respawn once a week.] ¡°Huh? Once a week? Why was it already respawned when I camest time?¡± Mo Xiao was surprised by this answer and asked further. [The respawn is fixed on Wednesdays.] H H ¡°Alright.¡± Mo Xiao sighed helplessly, not bothering to continue the conversation. Since he had already killed the Skeletal Dragon, there was nothing else in this ce worth his attention. He naturally had no intention of staying here and directly checked the map before turning to head for Yicheng Base City. An hourter, in Yicheng Base City. ¡°Dad! Why won¡¯t you agree to deal with Mo Xiao? He almost killed your precious daughter!¡± Jiang He pouted, looking displeased at her father Jiang Ran. She really could not understand why the man who doted on Jiang He the most in her memory would disagree with this matter no matter what. ¡°No way.¡± Jiang He¡¯s father, the current head of the Jiang family, said. ¡°Didn¡¯t Uncle Jiang Shan tell you? He already informed Mo Xiao that you have defensive items on you.¡± Jiang Ran looked somewhat helpless as he gazed at Jiang He. ¡°If it were on the battlefield, the best option in that situation would be to kill both you and the enemy together.¡± ¡°But¡­ but that¡¯s not the battlefield! I was killed by him!¡± Jiang He pursed her lips and continued. ¡°Aren¡¯t you alive and well?¡± Jiang Ran helplessly rubbed Jiang He¡¯s head. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t make a fuss. I have other matters to attend to; you go level up first.¡± H 11 Looking at Jiang Ran who stood up and was about to leave, Jiang He¡¯s expression gradually turned cold as she slowly walked behind Jiang Ran. ¡°Lord Father.¡± Hearing this address from Tao Yaoyao, Jiang Ran subconsciously turned his head. ¡°Why are you suddenly¡­¡± Before Jiang Ran could finish speaking, he saw a red light suddenly sh before his eyes. Then, his neck hurt slightly and he fainted. Not long after, Jiang Ran opened his eyes again, a trace of confusion shing in them. However, it quickly disappeared, reced by a smile on his face as he looked at Jiang He and said, ¡°Tao Yaoyao, aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll betray you if I take over this body?¡± ¡°We¡¯re all in the same boat. Who can betray whom?¡± Jiang He chuckled. ¡°Besides, you should call me Jiang He. Tao Yaoyao is long dead.¡± ¡°Hahahaha, alright, Jiang He, what should we do next?¡± Jiang Ran licked his lips and asked with a yful smile. Jiang He thought for a moment and said, ¡°Mo Xiao is just one of our targets to be eliminated.. Since we¡¯ve managed to infiltrate the human city with such difficulty, we naturally have to take over the entire city!¡± Chapter 88 - 88: Mo Xiao Returns to the City Chapter 88: Mo Xiao Returns to the City Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°You mean¡­¡± Jiang He nced at Jiang Ran and said, ¡°Contact them andunch an attack on the city. With our inside and outside cooperation, this small low-level city is as good as ours with a snap of fingers!¡± At the same time, at the city gate of Yicheng Base City. Mo Xiao slowly stepped into the city gate. Looking at this bustling city, he felt an inexplicable sense of difort in his heart. ¡°It seems staying in the secret realm instance for too long isn¡¯t good either. I feel uneasy returning to the city.¡± Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao entered the base city. At the city gate, two soldiers watched Mo Xiao enter the base city and were stunned for a moment. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t he Mo Xiao?¡± ¡°Um¡­ Looks like him.¡± ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry and inform the City Lord!¡± ¡°Oh, right, right!¡± Once they realized, one of them rushed out and headed straight for the City Lord¡¯s Residence. Not long after, in the City Lord¡¯s Residence. ¡°Old Fang, how is it? Is there any news about Mo Xiao?¡± Jiang Shan looked at Fang Chang and asked. Fang Chang raised his eyelids and nced at Jiang Shan. He shook his head and said, ¡°No, this kid hasn¡¯t returned yet. Don¡¯t be anxious. His family is here, so he wille back eventually.¡± ¡°How can 1 not be anxious? That youngdy at home is tormenting me to death! If that kid doesn¡¯te back soon, I¡¯ll be skinned alive even if I don¡¯t die!¡± Jiang Shan red at Fang Chang and said angrily. Hearing this, Fang Chang sighed helplessly. ¡°What can we do? Who asked you to send him out back then?¡± Just as Jiang Shan sat dejectedly in his seat, the main door suddenly mmed open. ¡°City Lord!¡± Seeing this, Fang Chang frowned. ¡°What¡¯s the rush? Can¡¯t you knock? Don¡¯t you treat me as the City Lord anymore?!¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sorry, City Lord. 1 saw Mo Xiao at the city gate just now!¡± The soldier didn¡¯t waste time with pleasantries and quickly reported. ¡°Mo Xiao!¡± Hearing this name, Jiang Shan seemingly teleported to the soldier¡¯s side. ¡°Are you sure you didn¡¯t see it wrong? It¡¯s really Mo Xiao?!¡± ¡°Yes! It¡¯s definitely him! I¡¯ve seen him before!¡± The soldier hurriedly nodded. ¡°Where did he go? Bring me to him!¡± Jiang Shan said excitedly. The soldier was taken aback by the question and said, ¡°Uh¡­ I don¡¯t know where he went, but he just entered the city. He shouldn¡¯t have gone far, probably back to his home.¡± Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Shan disappeared in an instant, leaving the City Lord¡¯s Residence. The soldier:¡±¡­¡± Fang Chang:¡±¡­¡± ¡°Alright, you can leave first. You did well this time. I¡¯ll give you a bonus another day.¡± Fang Chang nced at the soldier and waved his hand. ¡°Thank you, City Lord!¡± When the soldier heard this, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly left the City Lord¡¯s Residence. ¡°Jiang Shan, 1 hope you don¡¯t go too far¡­¡± Fang Chang sighed softly. In the end, he couldn¡¯t sit still and walked out of the City Lord Residence. At the same time, on the street outside Mo Xiao¡¯s house. ¡°I haven¡¯t been back in a long time, but this ce is still so dpidated-¡± Mo Xiao quietly looked at the cheap house he had lived in. He vaguely remembered that he wanted to change houses, but he had yet to do so. Just as Mo Xiao was about to go upstairs, his expression suddenly changed. At some point, the Four Symbols Heavy Sword had appeared in his hand, and then he suddenly tilted it. In the next moment, a figure was sent flying. ¡°F*ck! Did you attack directly?!¡± Apanied by a curse, a figure fell to the ground, rubbing his butt in pain. Looking at this figure, Mo Xiao was also stunned. ¡°Jiang Shan?¡± ¡°Call me Hall Master!¡± Jiang Shan rubbed his butt and stood up with an ugly expression. ¡°Oh, Hall Master Jiang Shan, may I ask why you¡¯re in such a hurry to find me?¡± ¡°You still have the cheek to ask!¡± As Jiang Shan spoke, he rushed in front of Mo Xiao and grabbed his cor. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to protect Jiang He when I asked her to follow you? Didn¡¯t you promise me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Xiao nodded very calmly. Without waiting for Jiang Shan to continue questioning, he said, ¡°If you¡¯re here to denounce me, you can go back directly. I don¡¯t think I did anything wrong.¡± ¡°What did you say!¡± When Jiang Shan heard this, he wished he could kick Mo Xiao to death. ¡°Did Jiang He tell you what happened?¡± Mo Xiao suddenly asked, ¡°She should have directly told you an illusion, right?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan instantly frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t you feel Jiang He is different from before?¡± Mo Xiao said very calmly. Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan immediately fell silent. He was the uncle who had the best rtionship with Jiang He, so he could naturally sense the change in her. However, he subconsciously treated this as a change after her heartbreak over Mo Xiao, so he didn¡¯t think too much about it. ¡°In that situation, she ignored my attempts to stop her and insisted on saving a monster, which resulted in her being controlled by the monster.¡± Mo Xiao continued, ¡°In such a situation, to minimize the losses, I had no choice but to take action and kill her.¡± H ii Jiang Shan fell silent again. As someone who had been on the battlefield, if faced with such a situation, the best solution would be to kill that person and deal with the restter. ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice anything different about Jiang He during these days? Hasn¡¯t she been tormenting you?¡± Mo Xiao smiled faintly. ¡°Do you think she asked your Jiang family toe after me?¡± ¡°You should know that, given Jiang He¡¯s previous character, if she knew she wouldn¡¯t die and that I hadn¡¯t done anything wrong, would she persistentlye after me like this?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Jiang Shan took a deep breath and shook his head. ¡°So, do you understand now?¡± Mo Xiao asked. ¡°Are you saying the current Jiang He isn¡¯t the real Jiang He?¡± Jiang Shan asked with a serious expression. ¡°She is Jiang He, but her body seems to be controlled by something.¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°It seems none of you have noticed.¡± ¡°How could we possibly notice such a thing! Since you had this information, why didn¡¯t youe back earlier?¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s anxiety intensified. ¡°Becauseing back wouldn¡¯t have changed anything. This matter requires time to settle. If I had returned immediately, you might have followed Jiang He¡¯s thinking and attacked me in anger, and then I might really have lost my life,¡± Mo Xiao sneered. ¡°I¡¯m not from a prominent family; I¡¯m just an ordinary person.. Killing me would be a piece of cake for you guys, isn¡¯t that right? How can I bepared to your prestigious families?¡± Chapter 89 - 89: The Jiang Family’s Actions Chapter 89: The Jiang Family¡¯s Actions Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°You!¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang Shan¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly. ¡°Did I say something wrong?¡± Mo Xiao remainedposed. ¡°If you think 1 said something inappropriate, you can just attack me and avenge Jiang He. ¡°Or perhaps, you have prepared other means to deal with me?¡± Mo Xiao said, suddenly looking elsewhere. ¡°It seems you¡¯ve brought quite a few people with you.¡± ¡°Huh? What do you mean by that?¡± Jiang Shan was about to continue discussing the matter with Mo Xiao, but thetter¡¯s words shut him up. He followed Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze and looked in the direction he was pointing. To his surprise, Jiang Shan noticed that more than a dozenbat professionals had appeared not far from them without him noticing. They were slowly surrounding the two of them. ¡°Why are there so many people here?¡± Jiang Shan was puzzled, seemingly unaware of the situation himself. ¡°Don¡¯t you have to ask yourself?¡± Mo Xiao sneered and held the Four Symbols Heavy Sword in his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that these people have nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°Do I need someone to kill you?! My level is so much higher than yours. Killing you would be as easy as a p!¡± Jiang Shan red at Mo Xiao with annoyance and didn¡¯t bother to say much. ¡°Put away your sword. The Jiang family has no intention of dealing with you.¡± ¡°But 1 nearly killed your Jiang family¡¯s young miss. You don¡¯t have any intention of dealing with me?¡± Mo Xiao was somewhat surprised to hear Jiang Shan¡¯s response. He was prepared to be hunted down by the Jiang family when he returned. ¡°Though I¡¯m not entirely sure of the details, we know who you are, and as for your Mo family¡­ forget it, the point is, 1 am really angry, but 1 haven¡¯t lost my sanity yet.¡± Jiang Shan looked deeply at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°You can go back and rest. I¡¯ll handle these guys and drive them away. Take a day to rest. As for the specifics,e to the Jiang family tomorrow and we¡¯ll have a proper chat.¡± Hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s words, Mo Xiao fell into silence. Perhaps he had been too cynical about people¡¯s intentions¡­ More precisely, he had been too cynical about the Jiang family¡¯s intentions. ¡°Do you want me to help?¡± Mo Xiao asked after a moment of silence. Seeing Mo Xiao raise the enormous Four Symbols Heavy Sword again, Jiang Shan quickly said, ¡°Hey, hey, hey! What are you trying to do? They are all part of the Jiang family! I¡¯ll persuade them to leave! Don¡¯t act impulsively! Always resorting to violence.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao put away the Four Symbols Heavy Sword and quietly stood on the side without moving. Seeing that Mo Xiao didn¡¯t make any drastic moves, Jiang Shan felt relieved. He quickly walked to the front of the group of people and seemed to be saying something to them. At this moment, Mo Xiao suddenly frowned. Some of these people had been stopped by Jiang Shan. Logically speaking, they had seen Jiang Shan¡¯s actions. No matter what, they should have stopped and waited for the situation to rify before taking further action. However, from their actions, it seemed they had no intention of doing so. Mo Xiao frowned slightly and used the Illusion Breaking Technique on one of them. [Character Panel] Name: Wang Ergou Attributes: Omitted Status: Afflicted by Evil Energy. Afflicted by Evil Energy: Enveloped by a malevolent aura that seems to cause them to act differently than usual. ¡°Evil energy¡­¡± Seeing this information, Mo Xiao¡¯s face showed a knowing expression. Although the Jiang family hadn¡¯t acted against him for almost killing Jiang He, Jiang He, who was possessed by an evil spirit, seemed to be taking action. Moreover, from the looks of it, even the lower ranks of the Jiang family had fallen under the control of the evil spirits. After contemting for a while, Mo Xiao walked up to Jiang Shan. Seeing Mo Xiao suddenly appear, the people in front of Jiang Shan clearly lost control, as if they wanted to pounce on him and teach him a lesson. ¡°Kid, what are you doing here?! Go back! Wait until 1 tell them to send the goods!¡± Seeing this, Jiang Shan quickly stopped them and red at Mo Xiao unhappily. ¡°Hall Master Jiang, why don¡¯t you first check their condition?¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao said. ¡°Their condition?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think they¡¯re acting differently from normal people?¡± Hearing this, Jiang Shan frowned, and he looked at the people in front of him. There seemed to be a faint red hue in their eyes. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shan quickly used the Detection Technique. ¡°Afflicted by Evil Energy?¡± Although Jiang Shan didn¡¯t quite understand what that meant, it didn¡¯t sound like something good. Without hesitation, Jiang Shan retrieved a golden bead and gently squeezed it. A holy light immediately emanated from his hand. Instantly, the bodies of the group of people convulsed for a moment. Then several red energies flew out of their bodies and dissipated. ¡°What¡­ What happened?¡± With the disappearance of the red energy, Wang Ergou and the others regained their senses, looking around in confusion, as if they had forgotten what had happened earlier. Seeing this, Jiang Shan used the detection spell again and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Ergou, do you remember anything now?¡± Hearing this, Wang Ergou scratched his head and said, ¡°1 only remember¡­ the family head asked us to go back for a while, but 1 don¡¯t remember what happened.¡± ¡°Big Brother asked you to go back? Then¡­ have you seen Jiang He?¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s expression changed again when he heard this. He subconsciously nced at Mo Xiao before asking further. ¡°Young Miss?¡± Wang Ergou hesitated for a moment, pondered a bit, then nodded. ¡°It seemed like the Young Miss was there too, but both the Master and the Young Miss seemed somewhat strange at the time.¡± H ti Hearing this, Jiang Shan fell silent again. Based on this situation, it seemed that what Mo Xiao had said earlier was probably true. ¡°Alright, 1 understand. You all can go back now. 1¡¯11 take care of Mo Xiao,¡± Jiang Shan waved his hand, dismissing the group. After everyone left, Jiang Shan approached Mo Xiao and stared straight into his eyes with a serious expression. ¡°Kid, is Jiang He also afflicted by evil aura?¡± Mo Xiao shook his head. ¡°No, her situation is different. She seems to be possessed directly by one or even two monsters.¡± ¡°What? Possessed by monsters?!¡± Jiang Shan widened his eyes in astonishment. This was the first time he had heard of something like monsters possessing humans. In the past, conflicts between humans and monsters were simply battles where they fought to the death.. The concept of possession was entirely new to him, and it was different from what Mo Xiao had initially described as control¡­ Chapter 90 - 90: Hidden Evil Energy Chapter 90: Hidden Evil Energy Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°That¡¯s not what you said just now! How did it suddenly be possession!¡± Jiang Shan said these words almost through clenched teeth. Evidently, he had never imagined it would turn out this way. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say it? Jiang He was controlled.¡± ¡°Controlled and possessed! Those arepletely different concepts! This is such an important matter! Why couldn¡¯t you just say it directly?¡± Mo Xiao responded calmly, ¡°Didn¡¯t 1 just say it?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Hearing this, Jiang Shan almost cursed. ¡°You¡¯re really something¡­ Didn¡¯t you say you weren¡¯t tired? Come on! Let¡¯s go to the Jiang family now!¡± ¡°Now? Is there a reward?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll reward you, you bastard! It¡¯s already benevolent enough for our Jiang family not to seek revenge on you! Stop talking nonsense ande with me!¡± Jiang Shan didn¡¯t care if Mo Xiao was willing or not. He grabbed Mo Xiao¡¯s arm and headed straight for the Jiang family. Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Jiang family. Jiang Ran suddenly opened his eyes, ¡°It seems that Mo Xiao has indeed returned.¡± ¡°Weren¡¯t you aware of this news just now?¡± Jiang He nced at Jiang Ran with some confusion. ¡°The evil aura of the people we infected has been dispelled¡­¡± Jiang Ran said coldly. Jiang He chuckled. ¡°That¡¯s for sure. What do you think we should do next?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t invading humans your idea? Why are you asking me?¡± Jiang Ran gave Jiang He a disdainful look and then continued, ¡°I think we should hide ourselves for now.¡± ¡°Why? Are you afraid?¡± Jiang He frowned when she heard this. If Demon Vine were to escape, she wouldn¡¯t be able to continue her ns alone. After all, the ability of evil aura to infect others mainly depended on Demon Vine. She couldn¡¯t fully control humans like he could. Unless she abandoned Jiang He and attached herself to someone else. ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m afraid. We are still outnumbered and weak. If we want to deal with the main human city, we¡¯ll primarily rely on them. What we need to do is avoid being discovered before they act.¡± ¡°Although Mo Xiao¡¯s strength might not be enough in this city, he knows all of our legitimate heirs. If he exposes our secrets to everyone, even if they act, we¡¯ll probably be of little help.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang He remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you. Let¡¯s lie low for a while.¡± While the two were discussing their ns, the main hall¡¯s doors suddenly kicked open, and two figures rushed in. ¡°Big Brother! So, you really are here!¡± Upon hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s voice, Jiang He and Jiang Ran exchanged nces and then closed their eyes simultaneously. Suddenly, Jiang He and Jiang Ran¡¯s spirits seemed to have been sucked dry. Their faces turned pale and they fell backward. Seeing this, Jiang Shan and Mo Xiao quickly rushed over and supported the two people who were about to fall. Mo Xiao took the opportunity to use the Illusion Breaking Technique. The next moment, he frowned. This was because there were no traces of evil energy on Jiang He¡¯s body, not even a scratch. At that moment, Jiang He slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Mo Xiao, a trace of excitement shed across her eyes, and she suddenly hugged him tightly. Mo Xiao was so scared that he almost threw Jiang He away. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mo Xiao, I was wrong not to listen to you! I thought I¡¯d never see you again!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao furrowed his brow and without saying a word, he pushed Jiang He away from him. Frowning, he asked, ¡°Tao Yaoyao?¡± Hearing that name, Jiang He was stunned, ¡°Tao Yaoyao? Didn¡¯t you kill her?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Just as Mo Xiao was about to ask further, he suddenly noticed a hint of fear in Jiang He¡¯s pupils. He immediately held back the words he was about to say. ¡°You seem to be fine?¡± Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice. ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m fine. There¡¯s no problem.¡± Jiang He nodded slightly, as if she had returned to her previous state. At this moment, Jiang Ran also regained consciousness, ¡°Hmm¡­ My head hurts. What happened just now?¡± ¡°Big Brother! You scared me! I thought you were a goner! If you were gone, I would have to take over as the head of the family! 1 don¡¯t want to be the head!¡± Jiang Shan said in relief. ¡°You¡¯re the one who almost kicked the bucket! Get lost! Do you think I want you to hug me?¡± Jiang Ran scolded Jiang Shan, annoyed, then gave him a kick, sending him flying. As soon as he got up, he saw Mo Xiao not far away. ¡°You¡¯re Mo Xiao?¡± The moment he saw Mo Xiao, Jiang Ran asked. ¡°Yes, I am. Is the Jiang family¡¯s head here to seek justice?¡± Mo Xiao remained very calm and directly replied, even though this was someone else¡¯s territory. When Jiang Ran heard this, he was stunned for a moment beforeughing. ¡°Hahaha, you didn¡¯t do anything wrong, so why would I seek justice?¡± ¡°But 1 almost killed your daughter.¡± Mo Xiao blurted out the most dangerous words without thinking. If the family head were someone else with a bad temper, Mo Xiao¡¯s words would have caused him to die five or six times over. ¡°Dad! It¡¯s not Mo Xiao¡¯s fault! It¡¯s my fault!¡± Jiang He was shocked and quickly said. Jiang Shan:¡±???¡± Jiang Ran was confused. Mo Xiao:¡±¡­¡± ¡°Little He, didn¡¯t you say this morning that you wanted our Jiang family to avenge you and attack Mo Xiao? Why did you suddenly change your mind?¡± Jiang Ran asked in confusion. ¡°I¡­ I said that in a moment of anger¡­ I stopped thinking about it after seeing him¡­¡± Jiang He said with her head lowered. When Jiang Ran heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Alright, since you can think it through, that¡¯s good. 1 don¡¯t have to waste my breath.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you want to attack me?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Ran and asked directly. ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°I almost killed your daughter.¡± Mo Xiao seemed to be seeking death. ¡°Kid, are you tired of living? Do you have to touch the sore spot?!¡± When Jiang Shan heard this, he wished he could cover Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth. ¡°You really resemble your father a lot, even this reckless way of not fearing death,¡± Jiang Ran said after a moment of silence. ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao fell silent upon hearing this. Father. For Mo Xiao, this word was extremely unfamiliar. Whether in this life or the previous one, he was an orphan, a loner from a young age. Father was a luxury for him, and he had never even heard of his father from others. ¡°Do you know my father?¡± ¡°Of course, he was an incredibly powerful professional..¡± Chapter 91 - 91: The Blocked Illusion Breaking Technique Chapter 91: The Blocked Illusion Breaking Technique Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Powerful professionals. This was the first time Mo Xiao heard about something concerning his family. It made him involuntarily fall into deep thought. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s reaction, Jiang Ran¡¯s eyes flickered with a hint of reminiscence of the past. ¡°Mo Xiao, do you want to know about your father¡¯s situation?¡± Jiang Ran asked. Hearing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s body involuntarily trembled. But he quickly raised his head. Previously, he was a little confused because of the information about his father. Regaining his previous calm demeanor, he said, ¡°Are we not discussing what 1 did to Jiang He?¡± Jiang Shan:¡±¡­¡± Jiang Ran:¡±¡­¡± Even Jiang He, who was on the side, couldn¡¯t help but cover her face, not knowing what to say for Mo Xiao. Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang Ran couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. ¡°Alright, since you want to rify this matter, let¡¯s make things clear.¡± ¡°This time, it was Jiang Shan who asked you to take Jiang He out for leveling up. So, even if something went wrong, the root cause is still Jiang Shan. He misjudged you.¡± Jiang Ran slowly stood up and walked to Jiang Shan¡¯s side, speaking in a soft tone. When Jiang Shan heard Jiang Ran¡¯s words, his eyes widened. ¡°Huh? My fault??¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Jiang Ran red at Jiang Shan and continued, ¡°We have a rough understanding of the situation. Under those circumstances, the choices you made were not wrong. If it were on the battlefield, your actions would have been the optimal solution.¡± Jiang Ran continued, ¡°Moreover, although she didn¡¯t give many details, based on her personality, she probably acted out of kindness, right? Wanting to help someone, isn¡¯t that true?¡± ¡°I thought you would definitely protect your daughter.¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Ran, seeming somewhat incredulous. Jiang Ran smiled, patting Jiang He¡¯s head, ¡°This girl is kind butcks sharpness. Sooner orter, she will suffer for it. Even if you saved Jiang He this time, simr situations will happen again in the future.¡± ¡°I just hope she remembers this lesson and doesn¡¯t make the same mistake again.¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t know what to say. He even made up his mind to have a big fight with the Jiang family and then flee. On the side, Jiang Shan breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn¡¯t know if bringing Mo Xiao here was the right decision. After all, with Mo Xiao¡¯s personality, even fighting directly with their Jiang family wasn¡¯t out of the question. He wouldn¡¯t know whom to help by then. Seeing the situation turning favorable, Mo Xiao seemed to think of something and suddenly looked at Jiang He and Jiang Ran. He directly used the Illusion Breaking Technique on the two of them. ¡°Yes?¡± Sensing the skill fluctuations from Mo Xiao, Jiang Ran¡¯s eyes shed with a hint of red. Immediately, an illusory light membrane enveloped the two of them. [Ding, your Illusion-Breaking Technique has been blocked and unable to detect.] ¡°Huh? Blocked?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s brow furrowed upon seeing this message. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Ran asked directly upon seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s expression. Mo Xiao shook his head, ¡°Nothing¡­¡± ¡°Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, do you want to chat with me? About your¡­ parents¡¯ situation,¡± Jiang Ran suddenly said to Mo Xiao. H ii Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t hesitate and directly declined, ¡°I have no parents, there¡¯s nothing to talk about.¡± ¡°¡­¡± When Jiang Ran heard this, he sighed softly and nodded slightly. ¡°Jiang He, why don¡¯t you apany him? I need to talk to Uncle Shan.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang He nodded slightly and stood up, looking at Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao nced back at Jiang Ran, saying nothing, and followed Jiang He out of the room. Watching the two leave, Jiang Ran turned to Jiang Shan and said, ¡°If it were any other child, after being an orphan for so long, they would undoubtedly want to know about their parents¡¯ news, right?¡± ¡°Big brother, are you really going to tell Mo Xiao about their family situation?¡± Jiang Shan asked with some doubt. ¡°If he wants to know, of course I will tell him. This is their family matter, and now that he has grown up, he naturally has the right to know,¡± Jiang Ran said calmly. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Enough,¡± Jiang Ran interrupted Jiang Shan before he could continue, ¡°You¡¯ve been signaling me with your eyes for quite a while. What do you want to say?¡± ¡°Well, Mo Xiao told me that there seems to be a monster residing inside Jiang He¡­¡± Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Jiang family. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mo Xiao. Back in the secret realm, 1 didn¡¯t know why 1 acted like that¡­¡± Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao apologetically. ¡°Did it affect your mission?¡± ¡°No.¡± Mo Xiao shook his head indifferently and asked without thinking, ¡°Why can¡¯t I detect your information?¡± ¡°My information? Do you want to see it?¡± Jiang He was taken aback when she heard this. She opened her panel and ced it in front of Mo Xiao. [Jiang He] Profession: Elf Archer Level: LV20 Strength: 155 Agility: 185 Spirit: 95 Endurance: 95 Physique: 155 Looking at Jiang He¡¯s attribute panel that was much inferior to his, Mo Xiao frowned again. He couldn¡¯t see anything special from this panel. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, Jiang He asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Is there any special state in your status bar?¡± Mo Xiao frowned and asked. Jiang He shook her head again. Clearly, this special state of possession could not be seen directly from the panel. Seeing Jiang He¡¯s expression, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t ask any more questions. He casuallyforted her and left the Jiang family. After Mo Xiao left, Jiang He said, ¡°Will this do?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s very good.¡± As soon as Jiang He finished speaking, Tao Yaoyao¡¯s voice sounded in her mind. ¡°What exactly do you want me to do? When will you leave my body?!¡± Jiang He gritted her teeth and asked. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know this. You just need to understand one thing. If you dare to disobey me, the entire base city will suffer because of you, understand?¡± H H ¡°Of course, you can choose not to believe it. You know Mo Xiao¡¯s personality. If I control the Jiang family to deal with Mo Xiao, you should know what will happen.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you, but if you dare to hurt Mo Xiao or anyone from the base city, 1¡¯11 take you with me even if I die!¡± Jiang He gritted her teeth and said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯re good friends, aren¡¯t we?¡± Chapter 92 - 92: The Deal with the Tu Family Chapter 92: The Deal with the Tu Family Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios After returning home, Mo Xiaoy quietly on the bed, his face showing a hint of confusion. ¡°Jiang He seems to have returned to normal¡­ but something feels a bit off¡­¡± After pondering for a long time, Mo Xiao still couldn¡¯t find any problems in his mind. ¡°Never mind, I don¡¯t want to think about it anymore. It¡¯s just over a month until the college entrance examination, and I¡¯ll be able to see the War God then. Everything should be fine by then.¡± Mo Xiao shook his head and stopped thinking too much. He looked at the shabby room, casually tidied it up, and fell asleep heavily. The next morning, Mo Xiao was awakened by a phone call. ¡°Who is it! Why are you calling so early!¡± Listening to the harsh ringing, Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and answered the phone, wishing he could curse the caller and their entire family. ¡°Kid, are you awake yet?¡± As soon as the call connected, Jiang Shan¡¯s voice sounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s ear. ¡°I¡¯m awake now! What¡¯s the matter! Why are you calling me so early!¡± Mo Xiao asked irritably. ¡°You still have morning grumpiness?¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s tone, Jiang Shan was also a bit speechless. ¡°Before you left, didn¡¯t you ask me to sell equipment for you? The items have been sold. Come over and pick them up yourself.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you just give the items to me directly?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao said unhappily. ¡°Hurry up ande over! The City Lord is looking for you! Don¡¯t forget, the matter with the Tu Family hasn¡¯t been resolved yet!¡± Hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s words, Mo Xiao was instantly stunned. Oh right, he just took Jiang He and ran away, and then hepletely forgot about the Tu Family¡¯s matter. It seemed that Jiang Shan and the others had managed to handle it for him. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and hung up. Mo Xiao nodded, hung up the call directly, and after washing up a bit, he headed straight for the City Lord¡¯s Residence. Not long after, at the City Lord¡¯s Residence. ¡°Has that brat Mo Xiao arrived?¡± Fang Chang looked at Jiang Shan, who was slumped on the sofa as usual, and asked. ¡°Yes, I called him over. You can tell me the details,¡± Jiang Shan said, shaking his legs. ¡°Okay, what about Jiang He? How has she been these past two days?¡± Fang Chang suddenly asked, changing the subject. Jiang Shan scratched his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know how to put it. Anyway, when Mo Xiao came back yesterday, she suddenly seemed to return to her previous self.¡± ¡°Returned to her previous self? Is she better now?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know how to exin it. In Mo Xiao¡¯s words, it seems like she was possessed by some kind of monster before. I¡¯m not sure about the specifics. We¡¯ll have to ask Mo Xiao.¡± After pondering for a moment, Fang Chang said, ¡°Do you believe what Mo Xiao said?¡± ¡°I reluctantly believe it. We¡¯ll find out more detailster¡­¡± While the two were chatting, the door suddenly opened, and Mo Xiao appeared. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± Seeing this, Fang Chang¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. ¡°I say, this is the City Lord¡¯s Residence. Can¡¯t you knock on the door?¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Mo Xiao raised his hand and knocked on the door twice. ¡°I knocked, is that okay?¡± H 11 ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop fooling around and talk about the business,¡± Fang Chang coughed lightly. ¡°Do you remember the matter with the Tu Family?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment. ¡°1 vaguely remember.¡± Fang Chang continued, ¡°The head of the Tu Family, Tu Fei, is a level 80 top-notch professional. His only thought at the time was to kill you.¡± ¡°Let hime then,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly, as if he didn¡¯t care at all. ¡°¡­¡± Fang Chang took a deep breath and almost fainted. ¡°Kid, do you know how rare level 80 professionals are?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Tell me about it.¡± Mo Xiao remained just as calm. ¡°Jiang Shan and 1 can be considered high-level professionals, but we¡¯re only level 70 third-transition professionals. An 8oth-level professional is a fourth-transition! His strength is considered top-notch in the Blue Star!¡± Fang Chang said seriously. ¡°Then does he have a health bar?¡± Mo Xiao suddenly asked. Fang Chang was also stunned when he heard that. ¡°Uh¡­ yes.¡± ¡°Can it be attacked?¡± ¡°That works too¡­¡± ¡°Then that¡¯s it. As long as you have a health bar to attack, there¡¯s nothing you can¡¯t kill.¡± Mo Xiao still didn¡¯t take it to heart. ¡°Hahahahaha! I knew this kid would definitely say something terrifying!¡± When Jiang Shan heard this, heughed loudly. ¡°Alright, to tell you the truth, we actually told him the information about the golden set that you obtained.¡± ¡°And then?¡± Mo Xiao was a little puzzled. ¡°He won¡¯t just let me go because the items were obtained by me, right?¡± ¡°We also told him that you can get many more sets,¡± Fang Chang nced at Jiang Shan and said quietly. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey! Don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t get it! I remember you telling me that you can get it!¡± ¡°Hey hey hey! Don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t get them! 1 remember you said you can farm them!¡± Jiang Shan jumped up as he remembered this. If Mo Xiao said he couldn¡¯t get them, Tu Fei might hold a grudge against him as well. ¡°What set are you talking about?¡± Mo Xiao was confused for a moment before recalling, ¡°Oh¡­ the Ant King set, right? I can indeed get more of those.¡± ¡°You scared me to death!¡± Seeing that Mo Xiao remembered, Jiang Shan heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°So, what¡¯s the point of telling him this?¡± Mo Xiao continued to ask. ¡°Tu Fei said that as long as you can get them another five sets of the Ant King Set, not only will he be willing to let you off, he can even gather the things you want.¡± Jiang Shan quickly exined, feeling a little nervous. Mo Xiao¡¯s personality could be said to be fearless. If he felt that he had lost face, he might really refuse. ¡°Is that so? Sure, no problem.¡± Hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s words, Mo Xiao nodded in agreement without thinking. ¡°Phew¡­ That¡¯s good. 1¡¯11 inform the Tu family now.¡± Just as Jiang Shan was about to contact the Tu family, Mo Xiao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke again. ¡°But¡­¡± Hearing this, Jiang Shan¡¯s hand trembled visibly. ¡°I want to trade with him in person. I want to see how strong this so-called top-notch professional is.¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°I thought you were going to do something! You scared me to death! This shouldn¡¯t be a big problem. I¡¯ll just tell them.¡± Jiang Shan heaved a sigh of relief and walked out of the office. Watching Jiang Shan leave, the corners of Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth curled into a strange smile. A face-to-face deal? Naturally, Mo Xiao wasn¡¯t there simply to meet with any top-tier expert. After all, he could even see the God of War during the college entrance examination. The reason why he wanted to meet was naturally to steal this old thing¡¯s things. After all, this was the guy who had forced him to run, so Mo Xiao naturally had to vent his anger! ¡°The head of the Tu family, this kind of person should have many treasures on him, right? Hehehehe¡­¡± Chapter 93 - 93: SSS-Grade Talent Grows Stronger in Battle! Chapter 93: SSS-Grade Talent Grows Stronger in Battle! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Oh? You want to make a deal with me face-to-face?¡± Tu Fei sat in his study, looking at themunication panel with Jiang Shan in front of him. He seemed slightly surprised and asked, ¡°Are you sure? That kid wants to trade with me in person?¡± Jiang Shan replied truthfully, ¡°I don¡¯t know what that kid is up to, but he did say that. Take a look, can you do it?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that 1 might just kill him on the spot?¡± Tu Fei¡¯s voice turned icy, as if he had already prepared to kill Mo Xiao. ¡°Ahaha, you¡¯re an elder. Since you¡¯ve already agreed, you definitely won¡¯t go back on your word.¡± Jiang Shan said with a somewhat awkward expression. ¡°Fine, when will the deal happen?¡± Tu Fei didn¡¯t waste any more time and went straight to the point. ¡°He said, at thetest, tomorrow afternoon. If he¡¯s early, he can do it this afternoon,¡± Jiang Shan replied truthfully after thinking for a moment. Tu Fei pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Alright, bring him to our Tu family.¡± ¡°Noway!¡± Hearing Tu Fei¡¯s words, Jiang Shan rejected him without thinking. ¡°I¡¯m not negotiating with you. I¡¯m just informing you that you have no room to refuse.¡± Tu Fei said coldly, ¡°If you refuse, 1¡¯11 tacitly agree that you rejected the agreement to negotiate peace with me, and I¡¯ll go to your Yicheng base city to avenge my son!¡± Tu Fei said coldly and hung up the phone without giving Jiang Shan a chance to speak further. Seeing that the call had ended, Jiang Shan¡¯s expression instantly turned unpleasant. ¡°This damn old thing! He just doesn¡¯t want to let Mo Xiao off! Letting Mo Xiao go over is like sending a sheep to the tiger¡¯s den!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± At this moment, Mo Xiao¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Shan¡¯s ear. ¡°Didn¡¯t you go to the dungeon hall to get the Ant King Set?¡± Jiang Shan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Mo Xiao had appeared not far away and was quietly looking at him. ¡°I¡¯m here to ask you something,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°I heard your conversation just now, and it¡¯s just about bringing me to the Tu family. But I have enough means to protect myself, so it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao with a strange expression, ¡°Up to you. By the way, what do you want to ask me?¡± ¡°By the way, where should 1 go if 1 want to buy ck Ant materials?¡± ¡°ck Ant materials? There¡¯s a trading house in the dungeon hall. Many people are selling materials there. With their current levels, they should be farming ck ant dungeons.¡± Jiang Shan thought for a moment and said, ¡°You can already quickly clear the ck Ant Instance Dungeon previously. Why don¡¯t you just bring them to clear the Instance Dungeon and let them give you all the materials? That¡¯s the most cost-effective way.¡± H ii ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. A nightmare-level ck ant dungeon can amodate 15 people in one go! Aren¡¯t the materials for 15 people enough for you to squander?¡± ¡°It does seem possible.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao thoughtfully stroked his chin. Jiang Shan asked in confusion, ¡°But why do you need so many ck ant materials? Are you nning to craft the Ant King set yourself?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. Anyway, I¡¯ll have enough Ant King sets ready by tomorrow afternoon.¡± With that, Mo Xiao left without looking back. After Mo Xiao left, Jiang Shan sighed and stopped talking, going back to the City Lord¡¯s Residence. After leaving the City Lord¡¯s Residence, Mo Xiao looked at the few remaining ck Ant parts in his backpack with a pained expression and sighed in frustration. ¡°If only I hadn¡¯t sold all the ck Ant parts to make the Ant King set before. Now 1 have to gather more materials, which is really troublesome.¡± Long before Mo Xiao went to the secret realm to level up, he had refined all the ck Ant parts into an Ant King set and handed it to Jiang Shan to sell. Now, he couldn¡¯t buy the ck Ant set back! That was much more expensive than directly buying materials, although it would be more convenient. Not long after, Mo Xiao arrived at the dungeon hall. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a noisy crowd, causing him to frown. Mo Xiao, who had never liked socializing, was very repulsed by this noisy environment. ¡°Eh? Isn¡¯t that Mo Xiao?¡± Just as Mo Xiao walked into the dungeon hall, he was instantly recognized by people from the same batch. As this person¡¯s voice sounded, everyone¡¯s eyes immediately focused on Mo Xiao. ¡°Brother Xiao, you¡¯re finally back!! Please support me!!¡± ¡°Boss, please take us to the ck Ant Nest! How do you clear the nightmare-level instance dungeon in just five minutes? I can¡¯t even get through the entrance in five minutes!¡± Seeing the crowd surrounding him, Mo Xiao¡¯s brow furrowed. Just as he was about to break away from the crowd and leave, they suddenly parted on their own, and a figure walked slowly toward Mo Xiao. The noisy instance hall fell silent as the figure appeared. Mo Xiao raised his eyes slightly and met the gaze of the person approaching him. It was a young man who seemed to be around the same age as him. The young man wore pure white light armor, with a slender figure and a graceful posture like a sword. His skin was slightly tanned, his features delicate, and his facial features seemed to be carved. His eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see through people, full of confidence and sharpness. A gorgeous longsword hung from his waist, faintly surrounded by a special energy, indicating its high quality. Mo Xiao observed the young man for a moment, and his gaze lingered on the longsword at his waist before meeting the young man¡¯s eyes. He said coldly, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re Mo Xiao, right? My father mentioned you to me.¡± The young man smiled lightly and continued, ¡°However, from your reaction, it seems that my father hasn¡¯t mentioned me to you.¡± H 11 Mo Xiao silently looked at the young man, and for some reason, he felt an indescribable sensation from him. Seeing that Mo Xiao remained silent, the young man smiled and extended his right hand towards Mo Xiao. ¡°Since you don¡¯t know me, let¡¯s get to know each other a little. Hello, I¡¯m Fang Chaoyang, pleased to meet you.¡± Looking at Fang Zhaoyang¡¯s outstretched right hand, Mo Xiao squinted his eyes slightly and said, ¡°I¡¯m Mo Xiao, pleased to meet you.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao reached out and shook Fang Chaoyang¡¯s hand.

Chapter 94: The Sparring System? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios 111H Seeing the attributes of this talent, Mo Xiao was quite surprised. Experience gained from every battle?! Moreover, it seemed that the stronger the opponent, the more experience points he would gain! From this introduction, this talent could be considered top-tier even among the SSS level talents. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s dazed expression, Fang Chaoyang asked curiously.Y?ur favorite ??ovels at n/??(v)el/bin(. ¡°I¡¯m fine. 1 just feel that you might be a very strong guy.¡± Mo Xiao withdrew his right hand and quietly looked at Fang Chaoyang in front of him. He released the Illusion Breaking Technique on him. [Fang Chaoyang] Profession: Sword Emperor (Second Transformation) Level: LV25 Strength: 1,300 Agility: 1,800 Endurance: 120 Physique: 120 Talent: Bravery (SSS), Sword Intent (SS), Sword Emperor¡¯s Path (S) ¡°What powerful attributes¡­¡± After seeing Fang Chaoyang¡¯s attributes, Mo Xiao was taken aback. Although his endurance and physique were very low, his strength and agility values were ridiculously high. In particr, his agility even exceeded his own. Moreover, he actually had three talents at the same time, and they were all above S-rank! Mo Xiao was genuinely surprised that such a powerful person existed in the small Yicheng base city. ¡°Eh? 1 can¡¯t find your attribute panel.¡± Just as Mo Xiao was surprised, Fang Chaoyang¡¯s surprised voice sounded at the same time. ¡°It¡¯s just the effect of the equipment,¡± Mo Xiao said lightly. ¡°Your surname is Fang. What¡¯s your rtionship with the City Lord?¡± ¡°Yes, City Lord Fang Chang is my father,¡± Fang Chaoyang said very calmly. ¡°It¡¯s just that he went to do a professional advancement mission before and only came back these two days.¡± Professional advancement mission? Hearing this word, Mo Xiao was also taken aback. Under normal circumstances, the professional advancement mission should be Level 30. At this moment, Mo Xiao finally realized that the profession disyed on Fang Chaoyang¡¯s interface was the second transition. Clearly, this guy in front of him was the same as him. He must have had some special fortuitous encounter. ¡°Oh, so is there anything else? If not, don¡¯t block the way.¡± Although this person was very strong, it had nothing to do with him no matter how strong he was. Right now, he only wanted to get enough materials to steal from the Tu family. Pfft! To make a deal with the Tu family! Fang Chaoyang was surprised when he heard Mo Xiao¡¯s words. This was the first time he had met someone who would talk to him like this. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s nothing important. I just heard from my father that you¡¯re very extraordinary, so I wanted to spar with you.¡± Fang Chaoyang said seriously. As soon as he said this, the originally quiet dungeon hall became noisy again. ¡°I knew it! When the Young City Lord sees Mo Xiao, he will definitely challenge him!¡± ¡°The Young City Lord is so brave! Mo Xiao is someone who can instantly deal more than 10,000 damage! After not seeing him for so long, the damage must have increased!¡± ¡°No matter how high Mo Xiao¡¯s stats are, he¡¯s no match for the Young City Lord! I¡¯ve seen the Young City Lord fight. He¡¯s a skilled professional. When Hall Master Jiang Shan fought him, he dodged several times!¡± Listening to everyone¡¯s words, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°A skilled professional?¡± This was the first time Mo Xiao had heard of this, but from the meaning of the words, it seemed that the Young City Lord¡¯s style of fighting didn¡¯t entirely rely on the system¡¯s released skills, but rather on his ownbat techniques. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, 1 have something to do.¡± Although Mo Xiao also wanted to ept his challenge, his current priority was to refine five sets of the Ant King Set, so he didn¡¯t have much time to waste. After all, this Instance Dungeon was not something that could be continued. He wasn¡¯t sure if he could gather enough ck ant parts in a short period of time. ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to refuse. How about this, Mo Xiao? As long as you¡¯re willing to spar with me, I can help youplete what you want to do. Of course, if you can defeat me, 1 can promise you three more things. How about that?¡± Seeing that Mo Xiao had rejected his invitation, Fang Chaoyang instantly frowned. Without another word, he directly made a deal with Mo Xiao. ¡°Heh, your level isn¡¯t high, but your tone is very simr to those people in high positions. As expected of the son of the City Lord.¡± Mo Xiao calmly nced at Fang Chaoyang and said, ¡°Do you have any ck ant parts on you?¡± ¡°Hmm? Although 1 don¡¯t have it, as long as you¡¯re willing to spar with me, I can get you as much as you want.¡± Fang Chaoyang said with a smile. ¡°¡­¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao, who was about to leave, nodded slightly. ¡°Sure.¡± Seeing that Mo Xiao had agreed, the smile on Fang Chaoyang¡¯s face widened. ¡°That¡¯s more like it! Let¡¯s go to the square outside and spar!¡± With that, Fang Chaoyang pulled Mo Xiao out of the dungeon hall. The professionals waiting in the dungeon hall saw this and followed him out. At this moment, Jiang Shan, who had just arrived at the dungeon hall, was also stunned when he saw this scene. He casually grabbed someone and asked, ¡°Did something happen in the dungeon hall? Why are they all out?¡± ¡°Hail Hall Master Jiang, it was the Young City Lord who wanted to spar with Mo Xiao, so we all came out to watch the show!¡± ¡°Young City Lord?¡± Jiang Shan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He looked a little flustered. ¡°Damn, how could 1 have forgotten about Chaoyang?¡± Jiang Shan quickly rushed over. ¡°You two, stop!¡± Hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s voice, the two people who had just left the hall were also stunned. ¡°We haven¡¯t made a move yet¡­¡± Looking at the speechless duo, Jiang Shan coughed dryly. ¡°The two of you can start sparring directly. Mo Xiao¡¯s damage is high, and he can easily insta-kill you with one strike!¡± ¡°Although 1 really want to refute that, for safety¡¯s sake, let¡¯s start sparring.¡± Fang Chaoyang hesitated for a moment and agreed with Jiang Shan. Mo Xiao nced at Jiang Shan and nodded slightly. ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything.¡± [Ding, Fang Chaoyang has initiated a sparring request with you. Do you ept?] ¡°epted.¡± As Mo Xiao epted, a transparent barrier instantly enveloped the two of them. [Entering sparring mode. In this mode, you can go all out. When a party is about to die, the system will automatically preserve their health to one drop and end the battle.] [Please be prepared. The battle is about to begin!] ¡°So, this is sparring? It¡¯s my first time doing it, and 1 thought all battles were a fight to the death.¡± ¡°Of course not. Sometimes, it¡¯s better to settle internal matters of the human race through sparring. After all, we can¡¯t directly kill people over a small matter,¡± Fang Chaoyang said with a smile. ¡°Of course not. Sometimes, internal affairs of the human race are better resolved through sparring. After all, we can¡¯t just kill someone over a small matter,¡± Fang Chaoyang smiled. Hearing this, Mo Xiao gave Fang Chaoyang a faint nce. He felt that this guy was trying to y mind games, but he didn¡¯t have any evidence. ¡°Are you ready?¡± Fang Chaoyang slowly drew the long sword from his waist. ¡°Anytime.¡± [The battle begins!] Chapter 95 - 95: The Sealed Sword Emperor’s Sword Chapter 95: The Sealed Sword Emperor¡¯s Sword Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [The battle begins!] As the system prompt sounded, Fang Chaoyang, who was not far away, instantly disappeared from sight. As if he had teleported, he appeared in front of Mo Xiao in the blink of an eye. [-1,300!] -650 In an instant, Fang Chaoyang felt as if a huge turtle had appeared on Mo Xiao¡¯s body and crashed into him. More than half of his already low health was instantly depleted, but Mo Xiao¡¯s health seemed to have only decreased by one-tenth. ¡°This is¡­ Counterattack?!¡± Fang Chaoyang¡¯s pupils trembled slightly. Although he knew that Mo Xiao was a Solo yer and might have various skills, he never expected such a skill. And judging from the amount of health he lost, it bounced back a whopping 50%! Just as Fang Chaoyang was about to say something, he suddenly realized that the HP bar above Mo Xiao¡¯s head, which had dropped a bit, had nowpletely recovered! Before Fang Chaoyang could regain his senses, Mo Xiao¡¯s Four Symbols Heavy Sword had already appeared in front of him. Just as Mo Xiao thought he could empty Fang Chaoyang¡¯s health bar, his longsword suddenly moved at a terrifying speed, blocking in front of him. ¡°Ding!¡± A crisp sound of metal shing echoed as Fang Chaoyang¡¯s long sword grazed past the Four Symbols Heavy Sword, and he used Mo Xiao¡¯s momentum to spin rapidly and thrust his sword towards Mo Xiao again. At this moment, another Four Symbols Heavy Sword appeared out of thin air and directly appeared in the path of Fang Chaoyang¡¯s attack. ¡°Ding!¡± Another sound of metal shing rang out. Before Fang Chaoyang could recover, another Four Symbols Heavy Sword shed at him. However, at this moment, Fang Chaoyang¡¯s figure seemed to blur and suddenly disappeared, leaving only an afterimage in ce, and Mo Xiao¡¯s attack went straight through this illusion. ¡°Phew, that was close. Your weapon seems to have high attack power. If I had been hit directly, the battle might have ended right there.¡± Fang Chaoyang returned to his original position, took out a bottle of potion, and drank it. Holding the two Four Symbols Heavy Swords, Mo Xiao looked at Fang Chaoyang and said, ¡°You seem to be just so-so.¡± Upon hearing this, Fang Chaoyang¡¯s expression instantly darkened, but he quickly regained his smile. ¡°It seems that I¡¯ve been underestimated.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you underestimating me too?¡± Mo Xiao said lightly, ¡°There¡¯s no point in ying like this. Let¡¯s go all out for a quick battle.¡± ¡°I see. I still want to hone mybat skills a bit more, but since you said so, let¡¯s end the battle quickly,¡± Fang Chaoyang said and slowly closed his eyes. The next moment, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. He felt an unprecedented pressure erupting from Fang Chaoyang¡¯s body. Fang Chaoyang suddenly opened his eyes, and an extremely sharp sword intent emerged from his eyes, as if he had transformed into someone else, giving off a terrifying feeling. ¡°What skill is this¡­¡± Seeing Fang Chaoyang¡¯s sudden transformation, even Mo Xiao was a little surprised. This change was very simr to Jiang He¡¯s. Mo Xiao was just about to use the Illusion Breaking Technique to check Fang Chaoyang¡¯s situation but he felt a sharp pain in his body, and his health instantly decreased by one-fifth. [-3,470!] The longsword in Fang Chaoyang¡¯s hand suddenly flew in front of Mo Xiao and pierced through his body. ¡°So fast¡­¡± At this moment, Fang Chaoyang appeared in front of Mo Xiao again, attacking with a speed far surpassing the previous one. ¡°Advanced Resistance Fire Ring!¡± Before Fang Chaoyang couldunch his attack, Mo Xiao pushed him away. ¡°Sea of Fire! ¡°Soul Extinguishing ck me!¡± ¡°Magic?!¡± Fang Chaoyang seemedpletely caught off guard by Mo Xiao¡¯s use of magic. He was instantly pushed back and engulfed in the sea of fire. The pitch-ck mes followed closely behind and struck Fang Zhaoyang heavily. -9,000! With a massive amount of damage appearing, Fang Chaoyang¡¯s health bar was instantly emptied. [The oue has been decided!] As the system prompt sounded again, the surrounding shield slowly disappeared. Fang Chaoyang¡¯s health bar, which had been reduced to zero, was also restored in an instant. The terrifying aura around him also disappeared in that moment. The longsword that had previously prated Mo Xiao¡¯s body now fell to the ground. ¡°I thought you looked like a heavily-armored warrior, but I never expected you to use magic. It¡¯s indeed hard to figure out the fighting style of a Solo yer,¡± Fang Chaoyang said, seemingly unfazed. However, his eyes revealed a trace of dissatisfaction. Mo Xiao looked at Fang Chaoyang and bent down to pick up the longsword on the ground. He handed it to Fang Chaoyang and said, ¡°Since you know that I¡¯m a Solo yer, you should be prepared for me to have various types of skills.¡± ¡°Looks like I haven¡¯t cultivated enough.¡± Fang Chaoyangughed self-deprecatingly and raised his hand to take the longsword from Mo Xiao. [You rubbed the sealed Sword Emperor¡¯s Sword. The special skill, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul, has been duplicated!] ¡°Yes?¡± Hearing this system prompt, Mo Xiao was slightly stunned. He was clearly holding a weapon, so why did he get a skill? ¡°I underestimated you this time. I lost, but I definitely won¡¯t lose to you next time!¡± Fang Chaoyang said seriously, ¡°1 admit defeat. Didn¡¯t you want the ck Ant sets? How many do you need? I¡¯ll get them for you.¡± ¡°About 250 sets,¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said. Fang Chaoyang nced at Mo Xiao and nodded slightly. He turned around and walked straight to the dungeon hall. His previously calm expression suddenly turned fierce the moment he turned around. ¡°How could this happen! There¡¯s no way 1 can lose! Did you let him win just because his surname is Mo?¡± Just then, a phantom figure that only Fang Chaoyang could see appeared slowly beside him, looking at him with doubt, ¡°I have never heard of the Solo yer profession. 1 really didn¡¯t expect him to use magic. ¡°Since you didn¡¯t know what changes there might be, you should have just taken him down in one move! ¡°Your physicalbat strength is just this strong. You know how powerful the Flying Sword is. However, that kid¡¯s health and defense have reached an astonishing level. With your current strength, you are no match for him.¡± H H ¡°You¡¯ve only gained my inheritance; you haven¡¯t fully mastered my power yet. To defeat stronger opponents, you need more training. To be a true Sword Emperor, you still have a long way to go!¡± With that, the phantom instantly disappeared, leaving Fang Chaoyang alone, gritting his teeth. At the same time, outside the main hall of the dungeon, Mo Xiao was looking at the space in front of him in shock because a phantom figure was looking at him with a puzzled expression. ¡°Why¡­ am 1 inside you?¡± Chapter 96 - 96: Sword Emperor’s Remnant Soul Chapter 96: Sword Emperor¡¯s Remnant Soul Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [Sword Emperor¡¯s Remnant Soul: The remnant soul of the Sword Emperor, left behind in his own sword, has been waiting for the appearance of a sessor.] ¡°Mo, Mo Xiao?? Why am I inside you?? Where¡¯s Chaoyang! What did you do to him?!¡± The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul looked at Mo Xiao beside him in disbelief. He had never heard of such a thing! His remnant soul was supposed to be attached to the sword he wielded during his lifetime. In his current situation, it was impossible for him to leave the sword and find a new host. But from the current situation, it seemed that he had indeed entered the body of this person named Mo Xiao. 11 H Looking at the Sword Emperor in front of him, Mo Xiao was also stunned for a while before reacting. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to identally copy such a big treasure¡­¡± ¡°Copy!¡± ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± When the Sword Emperor heard this, he frowned and quickly asked. Mo Xiao looked at the Sword Emperor beside him, pondered for a while, and asked, ¡°Are you some kind of spirit?¡± ¡°Whether I am a spirit or not is not important. What do you mean by that statement?¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Hearing the Sword Emperor¡¯s questioning, Mo Xiao sighed helplessly and said truthfully, ¡°I have a special talent that can randomly copy the skills and talents of others. You seem to have been inadvertently copied by me.¡± ¡°!!!¡± Hearing this, the Sword Emperor widened his eyes, ¡°Such a skill exists in the world!¡± ¡°Well, at first, when I obtained this talent, I didn¡¯t believe it either, but it turned out to be true.¡± Mo Xiao shrugged and said honestly. The Sword Emperor stared at Mo Xiao in front of him. After confirming that he wasn¡¯t lying, he sighed helplessly. ¡°So be it¡­ Chao Yang was not destined to be the Sword Emperor after all. Yourbat talent should not be low either, so I can teach you.¡± ¡°You may have misunderstood something. My ability is not to take away, but to copy.¡± Mo Xiao interrupted the Sword Emperor and continued, ¡°There is still another part of your remnant soul with Chao Yang. You are just a copy made by my talent.¡± ¡°Copy? What kind of heaven-defying talent is this? It can directly copy even the inherited soul!¡± The Sword Emperor opened his mouth, never having heard of such a powerful ability despite his countless years of existence. ¡°This is probably the nature of my talent. 1 have other things to do now. You should adapt for a while, and we¡¯ll talk about the restter.¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t be bothered to continue arguing with the Sword Emperor and turned around, heading towards the main hall of the instance dungeon. [Ding. Triggered ¡®Fighting More Courageously,¡¯ congrattions, you have gained 500 experience points.] [Ding. Triggered ¡®Fighting More Courageously,¡¯ congrattions, you have learned the skill ¡®Startling Swan Sword!¡¯] [Startling Swan Sword: Charge towards the target at 50 times the speed. The higher the agility, the stronger the attack power!] ¡°Only 500 experience points? This guy is really weak.¡± Mo Xiao muttered and walked into the dungeon hall. At this moment, Fang Chaoyang had also walked out of the trading area and saw Mo Xiao. His originally dark face instantly changed into an elegant smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting, Brother Xiao. This is what I promised you.¡± With that, Fang Chaoyang opened the trading panel and ced all the ck Ant parts on it. ¡°Although 1 don¡¯t know what you want these things for, but just in case, I bought some extra.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Mo Xiao confirmed receipt of the items without paying much attention to Chao Yang, then left directly without saying anything. Seeing Mo Xiao leave without giving him any face, Fang Chaoyang gritted his teeth so hard that they almost shattered. ¡°This guy! He actually doesn¡¯t take me seriously at all! I¡¯m the Young City Lord after all!¡± ¡°This is a world where strength rules. You should be well aware of that.¡± At this moment, the Sword Emperor floated slowly beside Chao Yang and spoke calmly, ¡°If you want him to respect you, you must defeat him. Focus on cultivation.¡± ¡°I understand!¡± Chao Yang coldly snorted. No longer wasting words, he randomly chose an instance to enter. On the side, the Sword Emperor looked at Mo Xiao¡¯s departure and couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled, ¡°Why can I suddenly sense a familiar aura from Mo Xiao¡¯s body?¡± Looking at Fang Chaoyang, who had already entered the Instance Dungeon, the Sword Emperor shook his head slightly and disappeared without a trace. Ten minutester, in Mo Xiao¡¯s rental apartment. ¡°Kid, yourbat power is so strong. Your ie should be good, right? Why are you living in such a dpidated ce?¡± As soon as Mo Xiao entered the house, the Sword Emperor floated out and said with some disdain. ¡°I¡¯m an orphan. After changing professions, I went straight to level up and didn¡¯t have time to find a better ce to live.¡± Mo Xiao said casually as he sat down at his shabby desk and activated the Divine Forging Technique. ¡°Eh? Forging? It seems like ¡®Solo yers¡¯ can really learn everything¡­¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, the Sword Emperor looked at them curiously. Like a child who had never seen the world, he hovered beside Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao took out 50 ck ant parts, nced at the Sword Emperor, and said, ¡°Have you never heard of the solo profession?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of it. This profession seems to have only appeared after you new humans appeared, right?¡± The Sword Emperor shook his head. ¡°Forging.¡± Mo Xiao let out a low moan, and immediately, the 50 ck ant parts turned into a set of ck Ant armor on the desk. [Congrattions! You have sessfully forged the ck Ant Set! The power of the Divine Forging Technique is triggered, and the set is sublimated into the ck Soldier Ant Set! ] ¡°F*ck! This is the Divine Forging Technique! Didn¡¯t you just change your profession not long ago?! How did you master the Divine Forging Technique?!¡± The Sword Emperor eximed again when he saw this. Mo Xiao looked at the Sword Emperor speechlessly and said, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be visible to others, right?¡± ¡°Yes, except for you, no one can see me or hear my voice. But I¡¯m not sure about the other me.¡± The Sword Emperor floated cross-legged in mid-air and said, ¡°When you met earlier, 1 seemed to sense the presence of the other me.¡± Mo Xiao pondered for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ve tried many times, but I can¡¯t lock you up. You have high autonomy, so some things can¡¯t be hidden from you, so you have to promise me that you won¡¯t tell anyone about my situation, understand?¡± ¡°I am attached to your skill, and I can¡¯t do anything bad to you. So rest assured, if you want to control me, it¡¯s also straightforward. Let me teach you.¡± After hearing this, the Sword Emperor calmed down and lightly tapped Mo Xiao¡¯s forehead with his illusory finger. [Ding, congrattions on learning the skill Spirit Control Technique!] [Spirit Control Technique: Through the power of the soul, forcefully control nearby spirits. The weaker the spirit, the stronger the control ability. The stronger the soul¡¯s power, the stronger the control ability.] ¡°Now, you can seal me with a thought. If you don¡¯t trust me, you can make me sleep..¡± Chapter 97 - 97: Shocking the Sword Emperor for 10,000 Years Chapter 97: Shocking the Sword Emperor for 10,000 Years Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Hearing the Sword Emperor¡¯s words, Mo Xiao was stunned for a while. Then, he turned to look at the ck Soldier Ant Set on the table. ¡°Since you say so, let¡¯s leave it at that for now.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he directly picked up the ck Soldier Ant Set on the table. [You rubbed the ck Soldier Ant Set, and the ck Soldier Ant Set evolved into the Ant King Set! ] ¡°Oh my god!!!¡± With the appearance of the orange equipment, the Sword Emperor roared again. Hearing the Sword Emperor¡¯s roar, the corners of Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes twitched. He wished he could p the Sword Emperor against the wall. ¡°Your skill is too outrageous! Why can equipment be directly upgraded!!!¡± Mo Xiao nced at the Sword Emperor and said, ¡°This is my secret. I hope you won¡¯t tell anyone.¡± ¡°Damn, no wonder you¡¯re so awesome! It¡¯s strange if you don¡¯t have such a skill! And you¡¯re a solo yer¡­ I feel that as long as nothing goes wrong, you¡¯ll definitely be the strongest person in the new human race!¡± the Sword Emperor said with certainty. When Mo Xiao heard this, he nced at the Sword Emperor and said, ¡°What exactly does the new human race mean? I¡¯ve heard you say it twice. Two days ago, 1 also heard the Wood Spirit Ancestor say it in the Wood Secret Realm.¡± ¡°Huh? You¡¯ve seen that old fellow, the Wood Spirit Ancestor?¡± The Sword Emperor was also stunned when he heard this. Then, after thinking for a moment, he said, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s the new human race that was born over the years. The humans of our era had long been extinct under the torrent of monsters.¡± ¡°Even a Sword Emperor like you can¡¯t stop it?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. ¡°If I could block it, 1 wouldn¡¯t be a remnant soul,¡± the Sword Emperor said helplessly. Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully and continued to forge the ck Ant set. ¡°So you, the so-called Sword Emperor, were killed by monsters?¡± ¡°I guess so. Of course, if no one backstabbed me, my death wouldn¡¯t be so aggrieved.¡± The Sword Emperor sighed. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this. Kid, are you interested in inheriting my legacy?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a solo yer, and I don¡¯t want to change my profession. If you want to find an heir, you should look for Fang Chaoyang,¡± Mo Xiao said very calmly. When the Sword Emperor heard this, he hurriedly said, ¡°Who said that just because you inherited my mantle, you have to change to my profession? You¡¯re a solo yer! You can learn any skill!¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao paused for a moment. ¡°That seems to be the case, but¡­ your Sword Emperor profession sounds impressive, but Fang Chaoyang doesn¡¯t seem to be much. He was instantly killed by me.¡± H ii Hearing this, the Sword Emperor¡¯s face instantly darkened. ¡°But¡­ When Fang Chaoyang made his move, the aura around him changed drastically¡­ Oh, the one I defeated in one shot couldn¡¯t be you, right?¡± Mo Xiao suddenly seemed to think of something and asked. ¡°That¡¯s because Fang Chaoyang¡¯s body is too weak! Otherwise, how could that ball of fire insta-kill me!!!¡± The Sword Emperor shouted unhappily. ¡°Besides, you were dressed like a heavily-armored warrior. Who would have thought you could use such powerful magic!¡± Seeing the Sword Emperor gnash his teeth like that, Mo Xiao almostughed out loud. He continued his work and asked, ¡°I¡¯m different. It¡¯s normal that Fang Chaoyang can¡¯t beat me.¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, the Sword Emperor suddenly fell silent and looked at Mo Xiao in front of him, ¡°You¡¯re indeed extraordinary. Your strength should be based on the ability you used just now, right?¡± ¡°Something like that.¡± ¡°Your reaction speed is very fast, but your technique is very ugly. If you encounter a true expert, even if your attributes are far inferior to yours, you won¡¯t be able to defeat him,¡± the Sword Emperor said very seriously. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao nced at the Sword Emperor and said, ¡°Then may I ask who defeated you?¡± ¡°F**k! It was just a mistake on my part! Can you stop poking at an old wound like that!¡± The Sword Emperor almost cursed when he heard this. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Please continue.¡± Mo Xiao stopped arguing with him and let him continue. ¡°Although Fang Chaoyang is inferior to you now, his potential is above yours,¡± the Sword Emperor said seriously. ¡°Why? Because he inherited your profession?¡± Mo Xiao asked doubtfully. The Sword Emperor shook his head and said, ¡°Because he has a hidden talent, the Son of Destiny!¡± ¡°The Son of Destiny? What kind of talent is this?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao stopped what he was doing again. Obviously, he had never heard of this talent at all. However, from the name, it was clearly a very impressive talent. ¡°I can¡¯t say the details. In short, this talent will allow him to grow extremely quickly. Even the heavens will protect him. He¡¯s as lucky as the protagonist in the book!¡± the Sword Emperor said seriously. ¡°I have auspiciousness and luck.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he casually flicked his finger, and the status panels of the Dragonite Jade and Little Gray appeared in front of the Sword Emperor. ¡°F*ck!!! The lost divine beast jade?! And it¡¯s a resurrected Dragonite?! And a Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast?! I feel that you¡¯re more like the Son of Destiny than Fang Chaoyang!!¡± The Sword Emperor eximed, clutching his head, looking like a screaming figure in a famous painting. ¡°Very good!!! Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll have to guide you even more!¡± The Sword Emperor said excitedly. After Mo Xiao took out thest Ant King Set, he looked at the Sword Emperor in confusion and asked, ¡°Why do you say that?¡± ¡°Because I really want topete with my other self to see which disciple I taught is more powerful!¡± The Sword Emperor said excitedly. Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, ¡°You want topete with yourself? You¡¯re quite interesting. Alright, as long as your skills aren¡¯t too weak, I¡¯ll cooperate with your training.¡± ¡°F*ck, I¡¯m the Sword Emperor, alright? Back then, I suppressed an entire world! I wasn¡¯t even willing to let others beg me for guidance! Why are you still forcing me?¡± The Sword Emperor said unhappily. ¡°Because I have confidence in myself,¡± Mo Xiao said very calmly. The Sword Emperor was just about to retort, but he instantly fell silent. ¡°With your talent, you do have the right to say such things.¡± At this point, Mo Xiao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, ¡°Hey, what do you think will happen if I copy Fang Chaoyang¡¯s Son of Destiny talent?¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± The Sword Emperor denied Mo Xiao¡¯s idea without thinking. ¡°The Son of Destiny is a unique skill. It¡¯s impossible for a second one to appear in this world!¡± ¡°Then, are you the only Sword Emperor in this world?¡± Mo Xiao asked again. ¡°Of course I¡¯m the only¡ª¡± Before he could finish speaking, the Sword Emperor froze. ¡°F*ck¡­ I suddenly feel that you can really try¡­¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s try it when the timees. Let¡¯s send these things over first.¡± When the Sword Emperor heard this, he looked at the five orange Ant King Sets on Mo Xiao¡¯s table and asked in confusion, ¡°What are you doing with so many orange suits?¡± ¡°I¡¯m preparing to make a deal with a certain big shot and steal something at the same time..¡± Chapter 98 - 98: Arriving at Jiangnan Base City Chapter 98: Arriving at Jiangnan Base City Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Twenty minutester. In the dungeon hall, Jiang Shan couldn¡¯t believe his eyes as he looked at the neatly arranged five sets of Ant King equipment in Mo Xiao¡¯s backpack. ¡°How did you manage this? It hasn¡¯t even been an hour, and you¡¯ve gathered all of them?¡± Mo Xiao did not answer Jiang Shan¡¯s question. He said very directly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about how 1 did it. The important thing is that I already got the items. Let the Tu family know.¡± Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao with mixed emotions and asked seriously, ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want me to go with you? Tu Fei wanted to kill you before, you know.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like they want to kill you. Why worry? You stay here and stop fretting. Mo Xiao speechlessly rolled his eyes at Jiang Shan and continued, ¡°How do I get there?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s calm demeanor, Jiang Shan sighed, ¡°Alright,e with me. I¡¯ll take you to the teleportation array in our base city.¡± In order to ensure the convenience of transportation in the various base cities, teleportation arrays became essential constructions in all base cities. After all,beyond the base cities were the territories of monsters, and no one knew what could happen on the way. The safest way to travel to other base cities was to use teleportation arrays. Mo Xiao nodded and followed behind Jiang Shan, walking towards the teleportation array. Although Mo Xiao had used teleportation arrays a few times before, those were all natural ones in the wilderness. He had never seen one built by humans in a city before. Following Jiang Shan, they soon arrived at arge square. If it weren¡¯t for Jiang Shan guiding him, Mo Xiao wouldn¡¯t even know that there was such a square in his city. At the center of the square, several guards stood quietly, seeming to guard something. Obviously, behind these guards was their destination¡ªthe teleportation array of Yicheng Base City. ¡°That¡¯s it,¡± Jiang Shan pointed not far away. The guards saluted Jiang Shan. ¡°Greetings, Deputy City Lord!¡± ¡°Good work, everyone. Is there anything unusual with the teleportation array?¡± Jiang Shan asked with a smile. ¡°Everything is normal! Deputy City Lord, are you going to use the teleportation array?¡± One of the guards looked at Mo Xiao behind Jiang Shan and asked. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sending a little guy to Jiangnan Base City.¡± Jiang Shan nodded and then said, ¡°Mo Xiao, the teleportation array is right in front. When you enter, a system option will appear. Select Jiangnan Base City.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already informed the Tu family¡¯s people. They should be waiting for you on the other side of the teleportation array. Be careful; the Tu family is not easy to deal with.¡± Jiang Shan said very seriously, fearing that the kid might note back if he got into trouble. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t be easy for them to kill me,¡± Mo Xiao said and then walked into the teleportation array. As soon as Mo Xiao entered the teleportation array, a virtual system panel appeared right in front of him. [Do you want to use the teleportation array?] ¡°Use.¡± [Please choose your destination.] ¡°Jiangnan Base City.¡± [Selectionplete! Activating the array¡­] With a buzzing sound, Mo Xiao felt his eyes light up. Immediately, the entire array lit up with a dazzling blue light. In just a few breaths, Mo Xiao disappeared. Jiang Shan looked at the empty teleportation array and sighed softly. ¡°1 hope this kid doesn¡¯t cause any trouble andes back safely¡­¡± [You rubbed the teleportation array, and the skill formation has been copied!] ¡°What? This can be copied too?¡± Mo Xiao was surprised when he heard the prompt. Before he could even check what skill it was, the light in front of him disappeared. As the light disappeared, Mo Xiao discovered that everything seemed different from before. It was evident that he had arrived at Jiangnan Base City, one of the top base cities in the Dragon Country. ¡°So, this is Jiangnan Base City?¡± Mo Xiao mumbled to himself as he looked at the vast square. He walked out of the teleportation array without wasting any more time. As soon as he left the teleportation array, a voice suddenly called out to Mo Xiao, stopping him in his tracks. ¡°You must be Mo Xiao.¡± Hearing the voice, Mo Xiao turned around and saw a man in mage robes. He was looking at him with a cold expression. Mo Xiao looked at the man, and a smile appeared on his cold face. He extended his hand towards the man and said, ¡°I¡¯m Mo Xiao. Nice to meet you.¡± The man nced at Mo Xiao¡¯s outstretched hand with a slight frown. It was apparent from his expression that he didn¡¯t want to shake hands with Mo Xiao. But after a moment of thought, he reluctantly touched Mo Xiao¡¯s hand symbolically and said, ¡°I¡¯m Tu Feng. The patriarch sent me to pick you up.¡± [You rubbed Tu Feng, and the skill Flying Art has been copied!] [Flying Art: Control the powerful wind force to fly. Flying speed is equal to movement speed. Cost: 10 MP per second. Cooldown: 2 minutes.] ¡°Looks like I got a good support skill.¡± Seeing the system prompt, Mo Xiao calmly withdrew his hand and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Is this the current city of humans? Not bad, you¡¯ve managed to create such arge city in a world infested with monsters without relying on the power of the rules. You new humans are quite strong!¡± At this moment, the Sword Emperor also emerged from Mo Xiao¡¯s side, excitedly examining the base city, ¡°This should be the biggest city you have now, right?¡± ¡°No, it ranks in the top io.¡± The Sword Emperor sighed and didn¡¯t say anything else. He followed Mo Xiao, floating towards the Tu family. The Tu family was obviously not close to this ce. Even though the two of them were not slow, it took them a full 30 minutes to reach the Tu family. The Tu Family in Jiangan. A true behemoth family that seemed to upy nearly one-fifth of the base city¡¯s area with just their estate. When they arrived at the front gate, Tu Feng paused for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted the patriarch. Just go inside directly.¡± As soon as Tu Feng finished speaking, the gate of the estate opened directly. The vast estate was now strangely empty, and this made Mo Xiao feel slightly uneasy. ¡°Fine.¡± Mo Xiao nced at the estate and didn¡¯t waste any time. He took big strides and entered the estate. However, as soon as Mo Xiao stepped into the estate, the gate closed abruptly, and a sense of foreboding slowly rose in his heart. ¡°Are you here for a feast at Hongmen?¡± the Sword Emperor asked curiously as he looked around. Mo Xiao nodded slightly, ¡°It seems that way. Looks like someone hase to wee us.¡± Just then, an old man appeared in front of Mo Xiao. He was wearing a smart suit and seemed to be a butler. ¡°Hello, Mr. Mo, the patriarch has sent me to pick you up.¡± The old man quietly looked at Mo Xiao, who was not far away. The catch in his mouth did not seem to be simple.. Chapter 99 - 99: Scared Her People to Death? Chapter 99: Scared Her People to Death? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Pick me up?¡± Looking at the slightly eerie old man in front of him, Mo Xiao instinctively gripped the hilt of the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. ¡°Your alertness is not bad. No wonder you were able to kill Young Master Feiding, who was of a higher level.¡± The old man looked calmly at Mo Xiao, his gaze extremely cold, as if he could strike at Mo Xiao at any moment. ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± Mo Xiao asked calmly. As long as this old man showed any signs of hostility, Mo Xiao would strike him down with one swing of the sword. ¡°Hehehe, Mr. Mo, no need to worry too much. I¡¯m just here to pick you up. Pleasee with me.¡± The old man said, turning around and making a gesture of invitation to Mo Xiao, then slowly walked towards the manor. Although the old man didn¡¯t do anything, Mo Xiao¡¯s brows furrowed even tighter. ¡°Kid, be careful. There are at least 20 people lurking nearby.¡± At this moment, the voice of the Sword Emperor also sounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s mind. It seemed that he could sense the presence of other people around. ¡°Are they high-leveled?¡± Mo Xiao looked around warily and asked. ¡°In my current state, I can¡¯t see their levels, but from their aura, they should all be at the second transformation, around level 30. Although they are not your opponents, it¡¯s easy to dodge open attacks, but it¡¯s hard to guard against hidden arrows. Be careful.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment. Then he said, ¡°Senior, you better control your people from the Tu family. In case they suddenly rush out and 1 mistake them for enemies, don¡¯t me me for killing them.¡± Hearing this, the old man¡¯s brows furrowed, then he casually said, ¡°Hehe, our Tu family is a big family. Mr. Mo, you are our guest. Why would the Tu family attack you?¡± ¡°Even if someonees, they must be some ignorant rascals, nothing to do with our Tu family.¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked, ¡°So, if someone really does suddenly appear, 1 can deal with them as 1 please?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The old man nced at Mo Xiao, not continuing the topic, and continued to walk forward. ¡°Mo Xiao, it seems like these guys are not easy to deal with¡­¡± the Sword Emperor said with narrowed eyes. ¡°I killed the son of the Tu family¡¯s head. It¡¯s no wonder they have an issue with me,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. Hearing this, the Sword Emperor couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You killed their son, and yet you dare toe to their ce for a deal? You have a really audacious temperament.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal,¡± Mo Xiao remained calm. Just then, several rushing sounds pierced the air. The next moment, several arrows were flying directly towards Mo Xiao. ¡°Mo Xiao! Be ca¡­¡± Before the Sword Emperor could finish speaking, Mo Xiao casually waved the heavy sword in his hand. Apanied by a series of clinking sounds, all the arrows were repelled and flew back with even greater speed. ¡°Ah!!¡± With several screams, several figures fell from a distant tform. Mo Xiao sneered and said, ¡°Sorry, 1 dealt with a few little bugs. 1 hope that¡¯s not a problem.¡± H 11 When the old man heard this, his expression turned ugly. ¡°What if 1 say it is your problem?¡± ¡°Then 1¡¯11 have to kill you too and run away.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the old man felt a slight weight on his shoulder. Mo Xiao¡¯s Four Symbols Heavy Sword was already resting on his neck. ¡°Let me tell you, 1 have a defense-breaking skill. Even if you¡¯re level 50,1 can still deal several thousand damage to you,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. The old man couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva, then smiled, ¡°Hehe, Mr. Mo, don¡¯t get angry. 1 was just joking with you. They were just some petty thieves who attacked you without authorization. It doesn¡¯t matter if they were killed.¡± ¡°Oh- So it¡¯s not the Tu family trying to attack me,¡± Mo Xiao said and slowly retracted the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. ¡°Of course not. We still need to buy the Ant King set from you to prepare for the college entrance examination. How could we attack you?¡± The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled. Mo Xiao nodded, but he remained vignt, ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± In fact, Mo Xiao had no idea what the Tu family was up to. From the attacks just now, it seemed that the attackers were not of high level, and even if he didn¡¯t block them, they wouldn¡¯t be able to kill him. Perhaps they just wanted to give him a scare? Or they knew about his connection with the War God¡¯s disciple and didn¡¯t dare to kill him? Though he was curious, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t bother thinking too much. After all, overthinking wasn¡¯t his style. ¡°Kid, what skill was that just now? It actually repelled the archer¡¯s skill.¡± At this moment, the Sword Emperor also curiously leaned over to Mo Xiao and asked. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a red skill, ck Tortoise Armor. As long as it can block the attack, it can repel all attacks,¡± Mo Xiao replied. At this moment, in the Tu family¡¯s reception room. ¡°What? Not only did hepletely repel the attack, but he also tripled the damage?¡± Tu Fei heard the news and was a bit confused. ¡°Is there such a skill? Who exactly is this kid¡­¡± Tu Fei shook his head and said, ¡°Alright, tell them to stop. If we continue with this show of force, we might lose some of our people.¡± ¡°Yes, then aren¡¯t you going to avenge Young Master?¡± ¡°He is the War God¡¯s designated disciple. If we kill him, do you want the Tu family to be destroyed together with him?¡± Tu Fei said coldly. ¡°Alright, just bring him in. I¡¯ll talk to him personally.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± About 20 minutester. Led by the old man, Mo Xiao slowly stepped into the reception room of the Tu family. ¡°Finally, I meet you, Mo Xiao.¡± As soon as Mo Xiao entered the hall, a dignified voice sounded in the hall. Mo Xiao saw an old man who appeared to be in his sixties or seventies sitting calmly at the main seat, looking at him quietly. ¡°You must be the head of the Tu family, Senior Tu Fei?¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow when he sawTu Fei and directly asked without showing any signs of being a junior. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me,¡± Tu Fei waved his hand, and a teacup flew towards Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao reached out and caught it effortlessly. The teacup was full of tea, and not a single drop spilled out from Tu Fei¡¯s casual toss. ¡°Hmm, this old guy is quite skilled. His control over power is impressive,¡± the Sword Emperormented. ¡°Have some tea,¡± Tu Fei said calmly. Mo Xiao sniffed the tea in his cup and smiled. ¡°Is there poison in this?¡± ¡°If I wanted to kill you, 1 could have pped you to death right now. There¡¯s no need to use such despicable methods,¡± Tu Fei said calmly. ¡°You should know why you¡¯re here this time, right? Did you bring the things?¡± Chapter 100 - 1oo: 99,999! Chapter 1oo: 99,999! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Rest assured, I brought them. I came here this time to make a trade.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he disyed all five sets of Ant King equipment panels. ¡°Very well, then give me all the sets.¡± Tu Fei said casually, ncing at the equipment panels in front of him. ¡°Give them to you directly? Don¡¯t tell me you want something for nothing?¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow. ¡°Something for nothing? Don¡¯t forget that you killed my son. Originally, I nned to kill you directly. These six sets of orange equipment are meant to exchange for your life.¡± Tu Fei looked coldly at Mo Xiao in front of him and continued, ¡°Or do you think your life isn¡¯t worth that much?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think 1 don¡¯t know why you don¡¯t dare toy a hand on me. Don¡¯t use that as an excuse. This is a trade. Either give me something equivalent to the six sets of orange equipment, or I¡¯ll turn around and leave.¡± Mo Xiao retorted fearlessly. Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Tu Fei¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and then smiled, ¡°Haha, indeed, you¡¯re the designated disciple of the War God, quite clever. I was just joking, don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Mo Xiao looked at Tu Fei and said calmly, ¡°Money upfront, goods delivered. Don¡¯t think you can get something for nothing.¡± ¡°Naturally, naturally,¡± Tu Fei chuckled and waved his hand. Suddenly, a pile of materials appeared in front of Mo Xiao. ¡°Here, take a look at these.¡± However, Mo Xiao¡¯s brow furrowed when he saw the materials in front of him. They seemed to be six identical sets of materials, and they were missing the most critical materials, the Void Illusion Stone and the Dark Gold Mother Stone. ¡°What about Void Illusion Stone and Dark Gold Source Stone? Do I need to exchange orange equipment for these ordinary materials?¡± Mo Xiao asked.¡± Tu Fei¡¯s expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, ¡°The Void Illusion Stone is one of the top forging materials in our Tu family. 1 can¡¯t just give it to you like that, and 1 only have one. ¡°Of course, if you really want it, it¡¯s not impossible for me to give it to you.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the hesitant Tu Fei in front of him, Mo Xiao frowned. He had a feeling that Tu Fei would raise some difficult conditions. ¡°Mo Xiao, are you willing to join our Tu Family? As long as you join our Tu Family, I don¡¯t want these Ant King Sets anymore. I¡¯ll hand over the Void Illusion Stone and the Dark Gold Mother Stone with both hands. How about that?¡± Tu Fei asked seriously. ¡°Join the Tu family?¡± Hearing this request, Mo Xiao was instantly dumbfounded. He had never dreamed that Tu Fei would make such an offer. After all, he had killed Tu Fei¡¯s son! Their rtionship was already irreconcble, and Tu Fei was actually inviting him to join the Tu family? What was going on in his mind? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, after you join the Tu family, we won¡¯t ask you to do anything. In fact, whatever you need, the Tu family will provide it to you immediately. You just need to im that you are part of the Tu family to the outside world. How about it?¡± Tu Fei saw that Mo Xiao was in a daze and quickly struck while the iron was hot. ¡°Are you asking for me to have the identity of a disciple of the War God?¡± Suddenly, Mo Xiao seemed to have thought of something and asked. Tu Fei¡¯s expression changed slightly when he heard that. Then, he smiled faintly and said, ¡°Yes, since you¡¯ve already been designated as a disciple of the War God, you have great value. ¡°If I can exchange my useless son¡¯s death for the protection of the War God, it¡¯s worth it.¡± Mo Xiao frowned slightly as he asked, ¡°What if 1 refuse?¡± ¡°Refuse? Then there¡¯s nothing I can do. We¡¯ll just proceed with a normal trade. But don¡¯t think you can easily get your hands on the Void Illusion Stone and the Dark Gold Mother Stone,¡± Tu Fei said calmly. Looking at Tu Fei in front of him, Mo Xiao suddenly smiled. ¡°Then let¡¯s trade normally. How about this? Leave me a set of materials. As for the other Ant King Sets, exchange them for the market price and transfer the money to me.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Tu Fei, who thought Mo Xiao would persist, was taken aback. ¡°You¡¯re giving up just like that? Aren¡¯t you in great need of the Void Illusion Stone and the Dark Gold Mother Stone?¡± ¡°Who told you I¡¯m in great need? I just thought it would be better to get them sooner, but if I can¡¯t, then forget it,¡± Mo Xiao said, rolling his eyes at Tu Fei. ¡°Alright, hurry up and pay. Money upfront, goods delivered.¡± Looking at this stubborn Mo Xiao, Tu Fei took a deep breath. Although he really wanted to p this kid to death, Tu Fei really couldn¡¯t afford to offend the War God. He could only suppress the anger in his heart. After a while, a system notification sounded from Mo Xiao, and io million Dragon Country bills were instantly transferred to his ount. ¡°I¡¯ve transferred the money! Give me the Ant King Sets!¡± Tu Fei said unhappily. Looking at the numbers on the ount, Mo Xiao¡¯s expressionless face revealed a rare smug smile. Then, he strode in front of Tu Fei and ced a special storage bag in front of him. ¡°Keep them well. If you need anything else, you can look for me anytime.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he patted Tu Fei¡¯s shoulder like an old friend. [You rubbed against Tu Fei. The skill money has been copied!] [Money can connect to the gods through gold coins. Different levels and time buffs can be obtained based on the number of gold coins consumed.] ¡°What the f*ck? A skill to buy buffs? But¡­ it seems to cost gold coins??¡± Looking at the introduction of this ability, Mo Xiao was also stunned. Although it didn¡¯t seem very useful, it mighte in handy one day. ¡°That¡¯s right. Since you¡¯re unwilling to join our Tu family, you can scram now,¡± Tu Fei said as he put the storage bag in his hand into his backpack. Seeing Tu Fei put away his things, Mo Xiao suddenly smiled secretly and said, ¡°Your manor is too big. Aren¡¯t you going to find someone to send me out?¡± ¡°F*ck off!¡± [You used the Divine Quick Fingers Technique and sessfully stole a special storage bag!] [You used the Divine Quick Fingers Technique and sessfully stole five million gold coins!] [You used the Divine the Divine Quick Fingers Technique Technique and sessfully stole a Void Illusion Stone!] [You used the Divine the Divine Quick Fingers Technique Technique and sessfully emptied Tu Fei¡¯s gold coins!] In the time it took to say these two sentences, Mo Xiao had already used the stealing skill four times. His luck was not bad. Other than the Dark Gold Mother Stone, everything he wanted had been stolen by Mo Xiao. ¡°Kid, what are you still standing here for! Hurry up and get lost! Someone send the guest away!¡± Seeing this, Tu Fei immediately prepared to ask someone to send Mo Xiao away. ¡°Calm down, I¡¯m leaving now.¡± Mo Xiao smiled and turned to leave. The moment he left, he used Quick Fingers onest time. [You used Quick Fingers and sessfully stole a skill book (Red) Heart Eating Curse!] ¡°!!!¡± Seeing this prompt, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. Without hesitating, he quickened his pace and ran out, afraid that Tu Fei would discover him. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s unyielding attitude, Tu Fei couldn¡¯t help but sigh and said, ¡°Call my second and third brothers over. I¡¯ll distribute the equipment¡­ ¡°Damn it!! Where are my gold coins?! Where is my equipment?! Where is my Void Illusion Stone?!¡± Chapter 101 - 101: The Gathering Monsters, Imminent Siege Chapter 101: The Gathering Monsters, Imminent Siege Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Ten minutester. Mo Xiao, riding the Absolute Shadow, rushed all the way to the teleportation array and shouted, ¡°Quick, teleport, back to Yicheng Base City!¡± Although Mo Xiao had already given the order, the teleportation array in front of him remained motionless. The guards on the side saw this and exined, ¡°Sorry, the teleportation array has a cooldown. After you use the teleportation array, you can¡¯t use it again for two hours.¡± What?! Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s face instantly turned as if he had eaten something foul. He had just stolen something from Tu Fei. Regardless of whether Tu Fei had evidence or not, his first reaction would definitely be that Mo Xiao was the thief. If someone were to catch him and bring him back¡­ ¡°How could this be¡­¡± Standing in front of the teleportation array, Mo Xiao paced back and forth with a solemn expression. ¡°Don¡¯t fool around, kid. You fearlessly went alone to the Hongmen feast. What are you afraid of now?¡± Suddenly, the Sword Emperor¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s ear. ¡°You¡¯re so thick-skinned. Can¡¯t you just deny that you stole it?¡± ¡°Moreover, that guy might not even suspect you.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Hearing the Sword Emperor¡¯s words, Mo Xiao was puzzled and asked. ¡°That guy is at level 80. Ordinary stealing skills can hardly seed if there¡¯s a level difference of even five levels.You crossed 60 levels and not only managed to steal from him, but you also made him unable to detect it. He wouldn¡¯t have expected a skill like that.¡± The Sword Emperor exined truthfully. Mo Xiao was taken aback and then realized, ¡°It seems like that¡¯s the case.¡± ¡°Exactly, instead of worrying, why not take a look at what you stole just now?¡± The Sword Emperor calmly said, ¡°Besides! Even if hees after you, I¡¯m here, aren¡¯t I?¡± ¡°You? Aren¡¯t you just a soul? What use are you?¡± Mo Xiao asked, puzzled. ¡°What do you mean I¡¯m just a soul? 1 am the remnant soul of the Sword Emperor!! Sword Emperor! Understand? Do you grasp the value of the Sword Emperor?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s words almost angered the Sword Emperor, and he immediately roared in Mo Xiao¡¯s ear. ¡°Lower your voice, lower your voice. I really don¡¯t know what you can do,¡± Mo Xiao rubbed his ear and said with some exasperation. The Sword Emperor was almost choked to death by Mo Xiao¡¯s words. He took a deep breath and exined, ¡°Do you still remember the battle with Fang Chaoyang? At that time, 1 possessed Fang Chaoyang¡¯s body. ¡°But his attributes were so weak, he couldn¡¯t possiblypare to you. Your character attributes are strong enough. Let me tell you, your skill attributes,bined with my techniques, we can fight even against the heavens. As long as they have a health bar, 1 can show you how I can kill them!¡± The Sword Emperor said with immense pride. ¡°Are you really that powerful?¡± Mo Xiao asked in surprise. ¡°Forget it! I¡¯m the Sword Emperor! The strongest person in the world back in the day!¡± the Sword Emperor said proudly. Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow, ¡°But didn¡¯t you still get killed by a monster?¡± ¡°Damn it! That was an ident!¡± ¡°Oh¡­ Then weren¡¯t you defeated by me?¡± Mo Xiao continued. ¡°Damn it! That was also an ident!!!¡± Listening to the frustrated roar of the Sword Emperor, Mo Xiao chuckled, ¡°Alright, alright, I won¡¯t tease you anymore. Now we need to find a ce to rest. It¡¯s best to find a ce that the Tu family can¡¯t locate.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that simple? Just leave the city,¡± the now calm Sword Emperor heard this and replied without much thought. Hearing this, Mo Xiao was taken aback. ¡°Leave the city? There are monsters outside the city¡­¡± ¡°Are you afraid of ordinary wild monsters?¡± The Sword Emperor asked with a strange expression. ¡°With your skill attributes and equipment, those wild monsters won¡¯t be able to kill you.¡± ¡°True.¡± Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully and looked around. ¡°But¡­ Jiangnan Base City is so big¡­ Where is the city gate?¡± At the same time, in the City Lord Residence of Yicheng Base City. ¡°What? There are 500 monsters gathered 10 kilometers away from our base city?! And they¡¯re still continuously gathering?? This can¡¯t be possible!¡± Fang Chang listened to the news on the phone with a look of disbelief. ¡°Nothing is impossible. The monsters are probably nning to attack the city.¡± ¡°Why would this happen¡­ What are the levels of these monsters? Are there any particrly strong bosses or elites?¡± Fang Chang inquired further. ¡°Not at the moment, but as you know, once the siege begins, bosses and elites will be directly teleported over. Right now, whether we see them or not doesn¡¯t really matter.¡± ¡°I understand. Come back first, gather the professionals and prepare for battle,¡± Fang Chang instructed. ¡°Yes.¡± Fang Chang hung up the call and looked outside the city gate with a solemn expression. ¡°Why are theyunching a siege? 1 hope the level of the siege isn¡¯t too high¡­ Our base city can¡¯t withstand too strong an impact now¡­¡± He sighed lightly and dialed the phone again, ¡°Hello, Jiang Shan, gather all the high-ranking members and prepare for a meeting. There¡¯s something important to arrange.¡± Half an hourter, at the city gate of Jiangnan Base City. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but without the City Lord¡¯s pass, no one is allowed to leave.¡± The guard looked at Mo Xiao and said very seriously. ¡°Why¡­ you¡¯ve closed the city too? Are there elites outside Jiangnan Base City as well?¡± Mo Xiao said somewhat helplessly. ¡°Yes, we ask for your understanding. For the safety of everyone, we¡¯ve also closed the city. If you want to level up, it¡¯s better to go to the city¡¯s instance dungeon hall.¡± the guard said. Hearing this, Mo Xiao sighed again and was about to turn back when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear. ¡°Want to leave the city? I can take you out-¡± Hearing this voice, Mo Xiao instinctively turned his head, ¡°Su¡­ Su Jin¡¯er?¡± ¡°Hello, Little Mo Xiao. Howe you¡¯re in Jiangnan Base City?¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao curiously and said, ¡°And you didn¡¯t even tell me you wereing to Jiangnan Base City. Are we not friends?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ I¡¯m here to discuss business with the Tu family,¡± Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment and replied truthfully. ¡°Tu family? Haven¡¯t they let you off yet?¡± Su Jin¡¯er frowned when she heard this. ¡°The enmity is almost settled, but it seems like I¡¯ve just made a new grudge.¡± Mo Xiao shook his head and said, ¡°But why are you in Jiangnan Base City?¡± ¡°Huh? Didn¡¯t I tell you? My home is in Jiangnan Base City. I didn¡¯t have much to do these past few days, so I wanted toe home and rest-¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a smile. ¡°You want to leave the city. Is it to escape from Tu¡¯s family?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ You could say that. I don¡¯t know if the Tu family will hold a grudge against me.¡± Mo Xiao rubbed his nose and said truthfully. When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she tilted her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s not safe outside now. How about youe to my house? With me around, that old fellow surnamed Tu wouldn¡¯t dare to do anything to you..¡± Chapter 102 - 102: The Attack of Different Monsters Chapter 102: The Attack of Different Monsters Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios A few minutester, in Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s house. Mo Xiao sat somewhat ufortably on the couch. He had thought that Su Jin¡¯er, being so powerful, must be from a prestigious family. Who knew, she seemed to be just an ordinary person. She even lived alone like him. ¡°Little Mo Xiao, do you want to eat something?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked warmly. ¡°No, it¡¯s okay¡­¡± Mo Xiao wasn¡¯t good at socializing with people, especially in a situation where a man and a woman were alone together. (Sword Emperor: Am 1 not a person?) Soon, Su Jin¡¯er brought a strange drink to Mo Xiao and ced it in front of him, saying, ¡°Tell me, what conflict did you have with the Tu family?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the murky liquid in the cup, he didn¡¯t have the courage to drink it. He looked directly at Su Jin¡¯er and said, ¡°1 made a deal with Tu Fei, but he wanted me to join their Tu family, and I didn¡¯t agree.¡± ¡°Eh? The Tu Family is actually willing to recruit you? Looks like they think that Master has already taken you in as a disciple,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said thoughtfully. ¡°But it¡¯s just a refusal, so it shouldn¡¯t lead to enmity, right?¡±¡± Mo Xiaoughed strangely and said, ¡°Then 1 sold him six pieces of orange equipment. Before 1 left, 1 used my skill to steal them back and even stole all his gold coins.¡± ¡°Pfft!!¡± Hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er spat out a mouthful of tea from her mouth, sshing Mo Xiao¡¯s face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Seeing this, Su Jin¡¯er hurriedly wiped the water stains off Mo Xiao¡¯s face. [Su Jin¡¯er gently rubbed against you. The skill Corpse Burst has been replicated!] [Corpse Explosion: Detonates nearby corpses, dealing explosive damage to 50% of the corpses¡¯ health within a 10-meter radius!] Seeing this skill, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. At first nce, this skill didn¡¯t seem very strong, but in group battles, it was definitely an extremely outrageous skill. ¡°How did you manage to do that? He¡¯s a level 8o big shot. You managed to steal from him and escape smoothly?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked curiously. Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°Well, let¡¯s just say 1 have a pretty buggy stealing skill. If luck is on my side, I can even strip him naked!¡± ¡°Strip him naked-¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s face blushed slightly, but she didn¡¯t say much, ¡°But ording to what you¡¯re saying, did Tu Fei not realize who stole from him?¡± ¡°Well, but at that time, 1 was the only person near him, so he would definitely suspect me first, which is why I thought of running away,¡± Mo Xiao shrugged and told the truth. ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Su Jin¡¯er nodded and said, ¡°Well, but don¡¯t worry. With me around, even if he has evidence, he won¡¯t be able to do anything to you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she went straight to Mo Xiao¡¯s side and said, ¡°Are we still going to be so formal? You¡¯re my savior- As long as you say the word, I¡¯ll be yours-¡± ¡°!!!¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao jumped up from the couch, stuttering, ¡°I-I-I¡­¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s nervous demeanor, Su Jin¡¯er burst intoughter again, ¡°Hahaha! You¡¯re so interesting like this! So adorable! That¡¯s the spirit! What¡¯s the point of being so reserved!¡± Just as Mo Xiao was about to retort, a message suddenly appeared on his panel. [Jiang Shan: Return quickly! The monsters are about to attack the city!] Seeing this news, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression instantly became serious. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s expression change drastically, Su Jin¡¯er hurriedly asked, ¡°What happened? Do you need my help?¡± ¡°Although I really want to say no, this kind of thing might really need your help,¡± Mo Xiao put away the message and said, ¡°Monsters are attacking the city, Jiang Shan asked me to go back.¡± Upon hearing this information, Su Jin¡¯er was taken aback. ¡°Are there really monsters attacking the city? I haven¡¯t received any information at all.¡± ¡°Do you have the time? Can youe with me to Yicheng Base City and help?¡± Mo Xiao asked seriously. Su Jin¡¯er smiled slightly and said, ¡°I¡¯m a human war general, and protecting humans is my duty. Let¡¯s go.¡± At this moment, in a corner in the northern part of Yicheng Base City. Jiang He stood quietly in the corner, waiting for something. After a while, a scarlet vine suddenly emerged from the ground and appeared in front of Jiang He. ¡°You¡¯re so slow. How¡¯s the gathering of the monsters?¡± Jiang He asked as she looked at the scarlet vine in front of her. ¡°It¡¯s getting there. There are about 1,500 now. These are all ordinary wild monsters from the map, so they won¡¯t cause much harm to the base city,¡± the scarlet vine said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this part is just meant to distract humans.¡± Jiang He grinned, ¡°When that person makes a move, that¡¯s when the real attack on the city begins!¡± The vine fell silent for a moment before asking, ¡°Are you sure about this? Initiating a siege battle is not that easy.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it will happen within five days at most,¡± Jiang He said and beckoned to the vine. Immediately, the vine attached itself to her arm, ¡°Let¡¯s go, our current task is to control more humans!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± At this moment, in the City Lord¡¯s Residence. ¡°Fang Chang, are you sure your information is correct? Monster attacks on the city are a big deal. Usually, we receive system messages as notifications beforehand, but we haven¡¯t received any messages at all!¡± Jiang Ran looked at Fang Chang in front of him, asking with a serious expression. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. My subordinates have already seen more than 500 monsters gathering. Although there are no boss-level or elite-level ones now, we still need to be on guard!¡± Fang Chang said firmly. Beside him, Jiang Shan said, ¡°Why not send some people to check the situation of those monsters? It would be good if we could eliminate some of them in advance.¡± ¡°Eliminate monsters that are attacking the city¡­ Can they be eliminated before the actual siege?¡± Fang Chang frowned upon hearing this. ¡°Normally, monsters that attack cities won¡¯t appear before the official siege!¡± Jiang Shan said, ¡°This siege might be different from the ones we¡¯ve encountered in the past¡­¡± At this point, Jiang Shan seemed to have thought of something and continued, ¡°Perhaps¡­ It has something to do with some special monsters with extremely high intelligence.¡± ¡°Special monsters? What do you mean?¡± Hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to Jiang Shan. Seeing this, Jiang Shan continued, ¡°Previously, I heard from Mo Xiao that in a certain secret realm, there is a kind of monster called the Scarlet Demon Vine. They have extremely high-level intelligence, almost equal to humans. Could it be that this siege is happening because of these monsters?¡± Hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s words, the others began to murmur among themselves. Beside Jiang Shan, Jiang Ran¡¯s eyes shed with a scarlet light.. Chapter 103 - 103: Strange Fang Chang Chapter 103: Strange Fang Chang Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios An hourter. Inside the teleportation array in Yicheng Base City. A beam of light shed. Mo Xiao and Su Jin¡¯er appeared directly in the array. ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look at the City Lord¡¯s Residence first,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a smile. ¡°Okay¡­¡± Mo Xiao nodded and led Su Jin¡¯er straight to the City Lord¡¯s Residence. Just at this moment, Su Jin¡¯er suddenly stopped in her tracks. A faint ck me flickered in her eyes as she looked towards the north of the city. ¡°Huh? What is that?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing Su Jin¡¯er suddenly stop in her tracks, Mo Xiao turned around and followed Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s gaze to look into the distance. However, he did not see anything. When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she nced at Mo Xiao. Just as she was about to say something, she realized that there was no longer anything unusual in the direction of the north of the city. It was as if she had been seeing things earlier. Su Jin¡¯er stood there gaping. Shaking her head, she said, ¡°Never mind, it¡¯s probably just my imagination. Let¡¯s go to the City Lord¡¯s Residence first, we can discuss the restter.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Meanwhile, in a corner to the north of the city. A scarlet vine carefully stretched out from under the stone. Looking around, it heaved a sigh of relief like a human. ¡°What powerful necromancer senses. Could there be a high-level necromancer here? Humans shouldn¡¯t be able to change professions to such professions¡­¡± The vine pondered for a while, then suddenly trembled and shrank downwards. In an instant, a ball of blood-red energy transformed into a sphere, flying out of the city walls andnding in the grassy area outside the city, disappearing from sight. ¡°Even though I don¡¯t know what it is, I should leave myself an escape route, 1 hope I¡¯m just being overly cautious.¡± Ten minutester, in the City Lord¡¯s Residence. Fang Chang stared solemnly at the panel in front of him. On the panel, a scene was currently ying. In a forest, countless monsters were gathering in an orderly manner. It could be said that all the monsters around Yicheng Base City were converging towards this ce. The levels of these monsters weren¡¯t high, and sending out a mage with area-of-effect spells could wipe them all out in no time. But the fact that these monsters were so obedient in gathering in this particr ce signified that their nature wasn¡¯t simple at all. This made Fang Chang cautious about taking any hasty actions. ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡± Just then, Jiang Shan inquired as she entered the office. Fang Chang¡¯s expression was rather grim, ¡°They¡¯re gathering more and more, there are probably about a thousand monsters now, but their levels are really low.¡± ¡°Low levels? Can¡¯t we just send someone to wipe them out?¡± Jiang Shan suggested without much consideration. ¡°Of course not!¡± Hearing this, Fang Chang immediately rejected Jiang Shan¡¯s idea, ¡°These are all basic wild monsters. Their levels might be low, and theirbat abilities might be weak, but they all share one characteristic uncontrobility. Have you ever seen monsters from different leveling zones gather like this?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°Well, there you have it. How can you be sure what kind of monsters these are? What if their strength is overwhelming and they end up wiping out all our people?¡± Fang Chang retorted impatiently. ¡°And most importantly, these monsters are ordinary monsters on the map. Their characteristic is that they can infinitely respawn and appear constantly. If their behavior patterns are really being altered, it means there will be an endless supply of monsters. This could turn into a war of attrition.¡± ¡°War of attrition? The monsters around the base city are quite trashy. Not to mention soldiers, even if we send out students, they can easily wipe them out. At most, it¡¯s just an additional monster clearing mission each day.¡± Jiang Shan evidently didn¡¯t quite agree with Fang Chang¡¯s viewpoint. ¡°1 have to say, Fang Chang, are you getting scared?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know who 1 am? Anyway, let¡¯s first observe the situation. We¡¯ll only take action if we encounter something we can¡¯t handle.¡± Fang Chang red at Jiang Shan and said. ¡°A thousand monsters have already gathered. Don¡¯t you think we should intervene?¡± Just as Jiang Shan was proposing this, the office¡¯s door suddenly swung open. Mo Xiao¡¯s voice sounded in their ears at the right time. ¡°Leave these monsters to me. I¡¯ll deal with them.¡± ¡°Mo Xiao?¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s voice, Jiang Shan was delighted and hurriedly went to wee him. Fang Chang¡¯s expression was slightly ugly. ¡°No, that ce is too dangerous. You¡¯re a student, and as the City Lord, 1 can¡¯t let you go out and take risks.¡± Fang Chang immediately dismissed Mo Xiao¡¯s idea without hesitation. At this moment, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°City Lord, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll apany Mo Xiao. With me around, nothing will go wrong.¡± ¡°Miss Su?!¡± The moment he saw Su Jin¡¯er, Jiang Shan instantly became excited. After all, she was a true powerhouse! She was known for excelling in group battles, siege warfare, and the like battles that suited her skills the most. ¡°That¡¯s not good, right?¡± After Fang Chang saw Su Jin¡¯er, he was about to say something. Jiang Shan directly interrupted him. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to this old fogey¡¯s nonsense. Since Mo Xiao wants to go, would you please take her on this journey? If we can annihte these monsters attacking the city in their infancy, that would be perfect!¡± On the side, as Fang Chang observed the two people in front of him, his displeasure grew stronger and stronger. A familiar scarlet light began to flicker faintly in his eyes.. Chapter 104 - 104: Mo Xiao: Can I Touch Both? Chapter 104: Mo Xiao: Can I Touch Both? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°What? This Mo Xiao actually rushed back so quickly?¡± When Jiang He heard this news, her expression immediately turned uglier. Jiang Ran nodded slightly and continued, ¡°That guy called Jiang Shan called Mo Xiao back directly. If 1 had known earlier, 1 would have possessed that guy called Jiang Shan first!¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Although Jiang Shan is a little troublesome, he doesn¡¯t have any real authority. Even if you control him, he won¡¯t be of much help to our future ns.¡± ¡°Fang Chang is the true City Lord. He can mobilize all the professionals in the city. Only by controlling him will it be of greatest help to our n.¡± Jiang He said and suddenly asked, ¡°However, is it really okay for you to control two people at once? These two people are not low-leveled.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Although their levels are high, their soul strength is very ordinary. It¡¯s very easy to control them.¡± Jiang He nodded slightly at the words. ¡°That¡¯s good if you can control them.¡± ¡°Since Mo Xiao is going to clean up some monsters first¡­ you go get the guy from the Nether Mountain Range.¡± When Jiang Ran heard this, he frowned slightly and said uncertainly, ¡°Are you sure? I can at most lure that guy here, but 1 can¡¯t control him.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. As long as we can kill Mo Xiao first, even if we attack early, it¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Jiang He grinned. ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Ran nodded and slowly closed his eyes. Hey on the table as if he had fallen asleep. Looking at the motionless Jiang Ran, Jiang He¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange light slowly surged into Jiang Ran¡¯s body. Then she held her head and closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep with Jiang Ran. There was no more movement. At the same time, at the city gate of the base city. Mo Xiao and Su Jin¡¯er also sessfully left the base city under Jiang Shan¡¯s arrangements. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent you the location. You have to act within your means, understand? If you can¡¯t handle it, ask for help! The big shots are right beside you. Don¡¯t try to face everything head-on. Understand?¡± Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao and advised. Hearing this, Mo Xiao sighed helplessly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you annoying or what? I¡¯m not a child. I¡¯m leaving.¡± After saying that, Mo Xiao walked straight to the coordinates without looking back. Watching Mo Xiao leave, Jiang Shan was also helpless, ¡°Miss Su, I¡¯m entrusting this kid to you. I hope you can protect him a bit.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯s my future junior brother. 1 definitely won¡¯t let anything happen to him.¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled and said, ¡°Although, 1 also feel that he doesn¡¯t need my protection. I¡¯m leaving.¡± ¡°Take care.¡± Just as Jiang Shan respectfully sent Su Jin¡¯er off, Su Jin¡¯er suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around and nced at Jiang Shan before saying, ¡°Oh, 1 have a reminder for you. Although 1 don¡¯t have any evidence, it seems that something is amiss in your city right now. Be a little careful. If possible, protect your soul with something. Don¡¯t wait until wee back. The higher-ups of the entire Base City have fallen.¡± With that, Su Jin¡¯er followed Mo Xiao and left without looking back. ¡°Something amiss? Protect the soul? What¡¯s going on¡­ Could it be that there are ghosts in our Base City?¡± Jiang Shan did not take Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words to heart at all. He turned around and left directly. As Jiang Shan left, a man in a straw hat slowly opened his eyes in the business district. ¡°What a dense evil aura. Have these things finally invaded the human world? Looks like myziness won¡¯t work this time-¡± Su Jin¡¯er followed behind Mo Xiao and asked curiously, ¡°Mo Xiao, what level are you at now? There¡¯s just a little over a month left until the college entrance exams. Don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t even reach level 25? I¡¯m still waiting for you to be my junior brother.¡± ¡°Level 24. It¡¯s very easy to level up in a month or so,¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t hide his thoughts from Su Jin¡¯er at all. ¡°Eh? You¡¯re actually level 24? Your leveling speed is quite fast! 1 was even prepared to help you cheat. It looks like I don¡¯t need to anymore.¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a yful smile. ¡°Just leveling up, and you¡¯re talking about cheating? I¡¯d rather be dead than resort to cheating.¡± Mo Xiao gave Su Jin¡¯er a disdainful look and then stopped in his tracks. ¡°It¡¯s probably here.¡± [Su Jin¡¯er requests to team up with you. Do you ept?] Looking at the sudden prompt, Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin¡¯er in surprise. Although he was a little puzzled, he clicked ¡®ept¡¯. Looking at the team panel in front of her, Su Jin¡¯er smiled with satisfaction. Then a pitch-ck staff appeared in her hand out of thin air. The next moment, she tapped the ground lightly, and a blue halo instantly spread out around her. [Su Jin¡¯er activated Soul Perception. All monsters within a 500-meter radius have been marked!] As the system notification sounded, countless red light spots instantly appeared on the previously empty map, so numerous that they couldn¡¯t be counted. Clearly, these light spots represented the monsters gathered here. Su Jin¡¯er looked at the point of view on the map and said, ¡°Oh my, it looks like we¡¯re surrounded. Should I help you open a gap before we attack?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin¡¯er in surprise. ¡°No need. Can you fly?¡± ¡°Fly?¡± Su Jin¡¯er was first puzzled and then nodded, ¡°Do you want me to carry you and fly up?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to keep up. Dragon Wings!¡± As he spoke, he shouted in a low voice, and a pair of dragon wings instantly appeared behind behind him, lifting him into the air. ¡°Dragon Wings? Not a bad skill.¡± Su Jin¡¯er chuckled. A skeletal dragon instantly appeared and carried her into the sky. This sudden appearance of the skeletal dragon clearly gave Mo Xiao a fright, and he nearly swung his sword at it. ¡°This¡­ This is your pet?¡± Looking at Su Jin¡¯er on the skeletal dragon, Mo Xiao put away his weapon and asked in surprise. ¡°It¡¯s just a summoned creature,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said nonchntly. Mo Xiao looked at the skeletal dragon and couldn¡¯t help but gulp. Then he cautiously asked, ¡°Can I¡­ touch it?¡± This skeletal dragon was different from the one in Deadman¡¯s Canyon. That one looked more like a zombie and was very disgusting. But the one Su Jin¡¯er summoned was a pure skeletal dragon, with a powerful presence. ¡°Touch?¡± Su Jin¡¯er smirked at the words, ¡°Touch what? Me or my skeletal dragon?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s body stiffened for a moment and he coughed awkwardly.. His eyes swept across Jiang He¡¯s body unnaturally, and he stammered in a very low voice, ¡°Can¡­ can 1 touch both of them?¡± Chapter 105 - 105: Iron-Armored Nether Spirit? Isn’t This Iron Man! Chapter 105: Iron-Armored Nether Spirit? Isn¡¯t This Iron Man! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Can I touch both?¡± As Mo Xiao uttered these words, Su Jin¡¯er, who had originally been nning to tease Mo Xiao a little, was instantly stunned. Her charming face turned red in an instant, and she stuttered for a while before finally saying, ¡°You, 1¡­ If you dare,e on then!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao lifted his hand and ended up just giving a fierce rub on the head of the skeletal dragon before flying towards another ce. [You rubbed the Skeletal Dragon King. The skill Skeletal Dragon Summoning has been replicated!] [Skeletal Dragon Summoning: Summons a powerful skeletal dragon to fight for you, fighting endlessly as long as lifests! Cost: 3,000 MP.

Crystal Shield: Form an indestructible shield on the bone dragon, absorbing all attacks and reflecting a certain amount of damage. Short duration. ¡°What a powerful skeletal dragon¡­¡± Looking at the attributes of this skeletal dragon, Mo Xiao was a little shocked. He hadn¡¯t expected to get such a powerful summoning skill just by rubbing it! But if the skeletal dragon was already this strong¡­ How powerful must the Skeletal Dragon King summoned by Su Jin¡¯er be? Mo Xiao gulped and instinctively turned his head to look at Su Jin¡¯er. After noticing Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s emotions, which had just calmed down, fluctuated again. She hurriedly said, ¡°What are you looking at? Aren¡¯t you going to kill monsters?¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Upon hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s shout, Mo Xiao hurriedly turned around and raised the huge sword in his hand. ¡°Sea of Fire! Since they were a group of monsters, naturally, he needed an AOE skill to attack, which would make the killing faster. Unfortunately, other than the Dragon God¡¯s Descent, Mo Xiao only had Sea of Fire as an AOE skill. After all, he could not use such a buggy skill to clear the monsters, right? As the Sea of Fire was released, the mobs below began to fall one by one. [You killed a Rogue Rabbit and gained 1 experience point.] [You killed a Wild Boar and gained 1 experience point.] [You killed a Nether Wolf and received 10 experience points.] Looking at the information that appeared on the system, the corners of Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched involuntarily. Even if he killed all these monsters, he wouldn¡¯t gain as much experience as a single monster in the secret realm! At this moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded not far away. Before Mo Xiao could react, a huge iron club appeared in front of him. It came crashing down towards his head. ¡°!!!¡± Seeing this sudden attack, Mo Xiao was startled. He raised his Four-Symbols Heavy Sword and blocked it in front of him. ¡°ng!¡± With a deafening collision sound, three different-colored streams of light rebounded from Mo Xiao¡¯s sword and heavily struck the owner of the iron club. -5,000 -2,500 -2,500 ¡°Roar! How delightfully painful this is!!¡± Following the sound, Mo Xiao looked downward, only to see a creature d in ck iron armor, wielding a metal great club, ring at him angrily. It was evident that the attack he had reflected back had thoroughly angered this individual. ¡°He looks so familiar. I think I¡¯ve seen him somewhere before¡­¡± Looking at this creature, Mo Xiao expressed his confusion. ¡°Be careful, this is the boss we encountered when we first met. If it weren¡¯t for you back then, I would have been killed by it.¡± When Su Jin¡¯er saw this figure, her brows furrowed. This guy was very far away from Yicheng Base City. She did not expect a monster so far away to be brought over. ¡°This appearance¡­ Isn¡¯t this Mordekaiser, the Iron Revenant from League of Legends?¡± After examining the creature carefully, Mo Xiao suddenly remembered. The appearance of this creature was identical to the hero he used to y in his previous life¡¯s game! [Iron-d Nether Spirit, Elite Lord Boss] Level: LV60 HP: 50,000/50,000 Strength: 1,000 Agility: 500 Spirit: 30,000 Endurance: 1,000 Physique: 3,000 Skills: Hammer of Destruction: Smash the ground with the iron hammer, dealing high magical damage. If this skill only hits one enemy, damage is increased by 300%! Indestructible Body: Obtains a shield equivalent to the stored damage value. He can cast this skill again to recover 50% of the health value of the shield. Soul Breaker: After use, the target enters a Soul Breaker state! (Soul Breaker: In the current state, the target will not be able to move, attack, use skills, use items, teleport, or defend. Duration: 10 seconds.) Samsara Despair: Banishes itself and a target to the territory of the dead for five minutes, and steals 100% of the hero¡¯s core attributes during this period. If the enemy is killed in the territory of the dead during this period, he will devour the target¡¯s soul and permanently obtain 10% of the target¡¯s attributes for all attributes. ¡°This skill! Damn it! This is Mordekaiser!¡± Although Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t remember the exact attributes of these names, he had a general recollection of the names and effects. There were some differences, but this skill was definitely Mordekaiser¡¯s! ¡°What Mordekaiser? Come over here quickly! Leave this guy to me!¡± Seeing this, Su Jin¡¯er hurriedly controlled the skeletal dragon to fly in front of Mo Xiao. It was obvious that she did not want Mo Xiao to deal with this level 60 Elite Lord Boss. ¡°This guy has a very terrifying skill that can drag people into a special space. If you¡¯re hit by that skill, 1 really won¡¯t be able to save you!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said extremely seriously. ¡°I know, I¡¯ve seen his skills.¡± Mo Xiao grinned. ¡°Let me have a go first. If I can¡¯t handle it, you can take over. I¡¯ve done things like killing monsters that are higher level than me before. Don¡¯t forget, back when I was level five, I could take on this guy with 400 or 500 health points.¡± Upon hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s brows furrowed slightly. Although she was a little worried, she still nodded in the end. Then, she raised her hand and gently tapped the space between Mo Xiao¡¯s eyebrows. [Su Jin¡¯er released Death God¡¯s Protection on you.] [Death God¡¯s Protection: After death, you can be resurrected with full health and receive a blessing once a day.] [Su Jin¡¯er rubbed against you gently. The full enhancement of talent has been replicated!] [Comprehensive Amplification: All skill effects increase by 10 times!] Chapter 106 - 106: Tenfold Amplification of the Samsara Despair! Chapter 106: Tenfold Amplification of the Samsara Despair! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s shocked expression, Su Jin¡¯er smiled slightly, thinking that he was shocked by the protection she had given him: ¡°Go, I¡¯ve protected you. As long as you don¡¯t die twice in a short time, you¡¯ll be fine. Good luck.¡± ¡°Well ¡­¡± Of course, Mo Xiao was only surprised by the skill he had obtained. After all, this was a tenfold increase of all skills! He had quite a few incredibly powerful skills himself! For example, the power of a thousand catties. If it was increased by 10 times¡­ That was a hundred times the damage! Mo Xiao took a deep breath and nodded at Su Jin¡¯er. Then, with a p of his wings, he dived directly towards the iron-armored Nether Spirit. Looking at Mo Xiao swooping down, the iron-armored Nether Spirit lowered his shoulders and instantly stretched out the huge hammer in his hand towards Mo Xiao. ¡°The pain willst forever! It¡¯s time to cut you up!¡± His speed was so fast that it was as if he had teleported. He directly crossed a distance of dozens of meters and instantly enveloped Mo Xiao. His speed was so fast that it was as if he had teleported. He directly crossed a distance of dozens of meters and instantly enveloped Mo Xiao. ¡°This is¡­ the Samsara Despair!¡± Mo Xiao was also stunned when he saw this, but he quickly reacted. However, it was toote to react now. He had already been dragged into the domain of the dead by the iron-armored Nether Spirit. As the dark green light lit up, Mo Xiao felt the distance between him and the iron-armoredher soul instantly close, and he directly appeared in front of the huge iron-armoredher soul. ¡°This seems to be good.¡± Mo Xiao looked at the dense fog around him, clearly unable to see the situation outside at all. Just like in League of Legends, unless one of them died or dragged on until the end of time, Mo Xiao would never be able to leave. ¡°The Domain of the Dead. Looks like you¡¯ve met a very powerful opponent.¡± At this moment, the Sword Emperor¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s ears. ¡°Oh? Sword Emperor? You weren¡¯t isted by this skill?¡± Hearing this voice, Mo Xiao was also a little surprised. The Sword Emperor said proudly, ¡°Of course. I¡¯m a soul in your body. He can¡¯t iste me.¡± ¡°How is it, kid? Do you need my help? This guy is a soul body. My Spirit Control Technique can help you suppress him-¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was also stunned. ¡°Is the Spirit Control Technique useful to him?¡± ¡°Of course. This is a skill that can control spirit bodies,¡± the Sword Emperor said proudly. ¡°Do you want me to help¡­¡± Before the Sword Emperor could finish speaking, he felt an indescribably terrifying soul suppression erupt from Mo Xiao¡¯s body. Almost instantly, the iron-armored Nether Spirit was pressed to the ground, unable to move. ¡°F*ck¡­ When did your soul power be so terrifying?! This is a level 60 monster!¡± The Sword Emperor shouted as if he had seen a monster. Mo Xiao was also stunned when he heard this, but he quickly understood. This was because of the new talent he had previously obtained, which increased all aspects. It could increase the effect of all skills by ten times, including this special Spirit Control Technique. ¡°Piece of cake.¡± Mo Xiao grinned and did not tell the Sword Emperor about the all-round increase. Looking at the Iron-Armored Nether Spirit lying motionless on the ground, Mo Xiao strode directly to the Iron-Armored Nether Spirit. Then, he raised his hand and rubbed it against its body. [You rubbed against the Iron-Armored Nether Spirit. The skill, Samsara Despair, has been replicated!] Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, the Sword Emperor, who originally didn¡¯t know what Mo Xiao wanted to do, suddenly became excited. ¡°How is it, how is it! Mo Xiao! What skill did you copy?¡± Mo Xiao nced at the Sword Emperor and grinned. He raised his hand and aimed it at the iron-armored Nether Spirit in front of him. ¡°Samsara Despair!¡± With a burst of blue light, the originally dark green fog was instantly covered by the blue fog. Immediately, this world became Mo Xiao¡¯s domain of the dead. [Core attribute theft sessful. Congrattions on obtaining 300,000 Spirit Points!] ¡°What?!¡± Seeing this message, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes almost popped out! 300,000 points! This was too terrifying! Then wouldn¡¯t he be able to insta-kill this guy as long as he casually released a small lightning bolt? Only then did Mo Xiao react. The ability of this skill was to steal 100% of the opponent¡¯s core attributes during this period. The core attribute of the iron-armored Nether Spirit was clearly its spirit. With the help of the Comprehensive Amplification, he could steal 1,000% of the other party¡¯s attributes! Ten times the opponent¡¯s attributes! The Sword Emperor looked at Mo Xiao, who stood rooted to the ground, and suddenly asked, ¡°Kid, do you want to use this guy to train?¡± ¡°Exercise? What do you mean?¡± Mo Xiao, who was in a daze, asked curiously. The Sword Emperor continued, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. Although this guy¡¯s attributes are high, he can be easily suppressed by you. Use him to hone your skills. 1 said that 1 would guide you. This is our first lesson.¡± ¡°Okay, what should 1 do?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s interest was piqued and he asked directly. ¡°Give me your body. 1¡¯11 demonstrate it once, and you remember it,¡± the Sword Emperor said without thinking. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. With your soul suppression, 1 can¡¯t snatch your body at all.¡± ¡°Fine.¡± Mo Xiao naturally did not doubt the Sword Emperor. Without a second thought, he activated the Sword Emperor¡¯s residual soul skill, and the Sword Emperor¡¯s residual soul instantly entered Mo Xiao¡¯s body. ¡°Your body is stronger than before! Fang Chaoyang¡¯s body was too weak!¡± The Sword Emperor excitedly said, ¡°Give me a weaker weapon. This sword is too strong, and it might easily kill this guy.¡± Hearing the Sword Emperor¡¯s words, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows, but he did not hesitate and directly opened his backpack. The next moment, the Lord¡¯s Sword that he had not seen for a long time appeared in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand again. ¡°Good lord, it¡¯s really just a bag of orange equipment. Ridiculous.¡± The Sword Emperor looked at the lord¡¯s longsword in his hand andined enviously, ¡°Release the suppression. Let¡¯s begin.¡± As soon as the Sword Emperor finished speaking, the iron-armored Nether Spirit, who had been lying motionless on the ground, instantly jumped up and fell heavily back. Evidently, he had exerted too much force. The iron-armored Nether Spirit, who had stood up again, looked at Mo Xiao in front of him and roared angrily. It raised the big hammer in its hand and smashed it fiercely at Mo Xiao. ¡°Watch closely. Sometimes, skill matters more than strength!¡± As the Sword Emperor spoke, he directly faced the hammer with his sword. ¡°Ding ding ding ding!¡± With a series of crisp sounds of metal shing, the originally unstoppable hammer was instantly deflected. At the same time, the Sword Emperor followed the shadow and quickly struck the center of the giant hammer with his longsword. Immediately, the huge hammer flew out of the iron-armored Nether Spirit¡¯s hand and rolled to the side. ¡°A monster¡¯s weapon¡­ can also be sent flying?¡± Chapter 107 - 107: F*ck! Sword Wielding! Chapter 107: F*ck! Sword Wielding! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Looking at the lost weapons, the iron-armored Nether Spirit was obviously bewildered. He hadn¡¯t really thought that his weapon could be knocked away! ¡°Roar!!!¡± The iron-armored Nether Spirit roared again, and the iron hammer returned to his hand once more. The Sword Emperor looked at the iron-armored Nether Spirit Release in front of him and said, ¡°Weapons are the key to battle. This is a use of technique. As long as you can remove the opponent¡¯s weapon, it will be much easier to fight. Next is another technique. Watch carefully.¡± ¡°Hammer of Destruction!¡± The iron-armored Nether Spirit was a monster to begin with, so how could it withstand such a thing? Iparably furious, it raised the hammer and smashed it crazily at Mo Xiao. Looking at the whistling hammer, the sword in the Sword Emperor¡¯s hand quickly blocked in front of the hammer. Then, he made an extremely strange move. ¡°ng!¡± With a long collision sound, the Iron-armored Nether Spirit and Sword Emperor took two steps back at the same time. The iron hammer in the iron-armored Nether Spirit¡¯s hand fell to the ground again. ¡°Oh my! Shake the Sword!¡± Seeing this action, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but cry out. ¡°Hmm? This name seems nice. Let¡¯s call it ¡®Shake the Sword¡¯ from now on,¡± the Sword Emperor chuckled, ¡°This isn¡¯t a skill, just a special way of delivering force. I¡¯m using your body, and you should feel it too. ¡°Have you memorized it? Do you want to give it a try?¡± The Sword Emperor smiled and said. Mo Xiao remained silent for a moment and then said directly, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give it a try.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if something goes wrong, 1¡¯11 hinder this guy a bit for you,¡± the Sword Emperor said calmly and withdrew his soul from Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao looked at the Lord¡¯s Longsword in his hand and moved it around with excitement. As a person from the Dragon Country, who wouldn¡¯t have the dream of bing a swordsman. Previously, Mo Xiao had only used skills and had never employed techniques against enemies. Now that he had learned it, Mo Xiao was naturally thrilled. Looking at the Iron-Armored Nether Spirit that was raging helplessly in front of him, Mo Xiao took a deep breath, gently raised the Lord Sword in his hand, and charged at the Iron-Armored Nether Spirit. Seeing Mo Xiao heading straight for him, the iron-armored Nether Spirit panicked. He quickly swung his iron hammer and smashed it towards Mo Xiao. ¡°Find the center of gravity of the opponent¡¯s weapon and shift it using your strength and speed.¡± Listening to the Sword Emperor¡¯s guidance, Mo Xiao thrust his sword. Unlike the Sword Emperor¡¯s finesse, Mo Xiao was using sheer force. ¡°ng!¡± [Triggered a force of a thousand catties!] [Special equipment, Night Meteor, has been shattered!] ¡°I can¡¯t believe it!¡± A silver light shed, and the iron hammer in the iron-armored Nether Spirit¡¯s hand instantly shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground. The Sword Emperor:¡±¡­¡± The Iron-Armored Nether Spirit:¡±¡­¡± ¡°Ahaha¡­ I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Mo Xiao scratched his head awkwardly. He truly hadn¡¯t expected to break someone¡¯s equipment like that. The Sword Emperor looked at Mo Xiao speechlessly. ¡°You don¡¯t even have a weapon. Why don¡¯t you kill him? Don¡¯t waste the attributes given by Samsara¡¯s Despair.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Mo Xiao nodded, and a small bolt of lightning struck the iron-armored Nether Spirit¡¯s head. -300,000! Just as the Sword Emperor was about to criticize Mo Xiao for underestimating the Iron-Armored Nether Spirit, he froze. ¡°Kid, are you f*cking cheating?! A beginner-level Lightning Strike deals 300,000 damage?! Are you even human?!¡± [You¡¯ve memorized the Elite Lord Boss. You¡¯ve received 200,000 experience points!] [You have overpowered an elite-level Lord boss, obtaining Lord¡¯s Treasure Chest *1] [Obtained Night Meteor Blueprint*l] ¡°Is this all you¡¯re giving me?¡± Looking at the system messages, Mo Xiao grumbled discontentedly for a moment, ¡°But the experience isn¡¯t bad.¡± [You killed the opponent in Samsara Despair and obtained 50% of the opponent¡¯s attributes!] [However, since the opponent is a boss-level monster, the acquisition rate is reduced to 1%!] ¡°Damn it! Is this how it¡¯s gonna be yed?¡± [Congrattions on Strength+100, Agility+50, Spirit+3,000, Endurance+100, Constitution+300] Looking at the increase of 3,000 points in mental strength, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but gulp. Although the system said it was reduced to 1%, with theprehensive boost, it was effectively restored to 10%. 10% of a boss-level monster¡¯s attributes were incredibly formidable. Just looking at those 3,000 points of mental strength told him that. With the death of the Iron-d Dark Soul, the fog around him also dispersed. As the fog cleared, Mo Xiao noticed countless skeletons surrounding him. If their names weren¡¯t blue, Mo Xiao would probably be raising his sword to strike them down. ¡°Oh, you killed pretty quickly. Seems like I underestimated you,¡± Just as Mo Xiao was looking at the skeletons, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s voice timely sounded, ¡°I¡¯ve already taken control of this ce with the skeletons. Don¡¯t worry, there won¡¯t be any problems for the time being.¡± Looking at Su Jin¡¯er standing on the side, Mo Xiao asked, ¡°Did you figure out why these monsters are gathering here? Or have you seen their leader?¡± ¡°I have a rough idea,¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled at Mo Xiao and then said, ¡°But 1 need to confirm one thing first.¡± ¡°What thing?¡± Mo Xiao was puzzled. Before he could react, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s staff transformed into a huge scythe, pressing against Mo Xiao¡¯s neck, ¡°Are youing out on your own, or do 1 have to pull you out?¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. She did not seem to be talking to him. ¡°Tsk, necromancers are really troublesome. They really can detect my presence.¡± As soon as Su Jin¡¯er finished speaking, the Sword Emperor slowly appeared in front of her. Looking at the Sword Emperor who had obediently appeared, Su Jin¡¯er raised her right hand, and a ball of pitch-ck fog instantly transformed into a huge hand that grabbed the Sword Emperor. ¡°Tell me, what are you trying to do by hiding on Mo Xiao¡¯s body!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so agitated!¡± Seeing Su Jin¡¯er, who could strike at any moment, Mo Xiao hurriedly held her back, ¡°He¡¯s one of my skills! He¡¯s my mentor who¡¯s guiding me!¡± Mo Xiao spoke and quickly presented the introduction of the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡¯s skill to Su Jin¡¯er. ¡°Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul?¡± Looking at this attribute, Su Jin¡¯er was also stunned for a moment. Then, she scratched her head awkwardly and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ Senior Sword Emperor, 1 thought you wanted to upy Mo Xiao¡¯s body with some evil spirit¡­¡± Su Jin¡¯er said and then dispelled the scythe and the giant ck hand. Embarrassment was written all over her face as she said, ¡°I saw you controlling Mo Xiao¡¯s body just now, so 1 overreacted a little.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. You¡¯re doing this for Mo Xiao¡¯s own good,¡± the Sword Emperor said with a bitter smile. Although he really wanted to be stubborn, this Su Jin¡¯er in front of him was indeed his nemesis. Moreover, she was the kind of person who could directly kill him with a sneeze. He did not dare to say anything unpleasant at all and could only greet her with a smile. ¡°Ahem, then let¡¯s talk about the problem of monsters attacking the city next!¡± Su Jin¡¯er coughed dryly and said, ¡°Mo Xiao, do you know about the Scarlet n?¡± Chapter 108 - 108: Scarlet Demon Vine with a Damaged Soul Chapter 108: Scarlet Demon Vine with a Damaged Soul Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Scarlet n?¡± Hearing this term, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyebrows suddenly raised. Mo Xiao had seen this title countless times. Especially that Scarlet Demon Vine, it had made him suffer a lot. ¡°I know. I¡¯ve encountered them a few times. They¡¯re quite annoying and difficult to kill,¡± Mo Xiao said directly without any intention of hiding anything from Su Jin¡¯er. Su Jin¡¯er nodded and continued, ¡°Since you¡¯ve heard of this race, it¡¯s much more convenient.¡± ¡°The Scarlet n, also known as the Scarlet Evil Spirits, is an extremely special monster. Even in the Tianyuan Battlefield, it¡¯s a very troublesome existence for ordinary professionals.¡± ¡°Their main ability is to possess monsters or even humans. They can also control them to fight for themselves. ¡°Especially when it¡¯s possessed by a teammate, it¡¯s the most troublesome.¡± Su Jin¡¯er nced at Mo Xiao and continued, ¡°However, the Scarlet n haspletely disappeared a long time ago. We can¡¯t even touch the Tianyuan Battlefield. As long as we encounter them asionally in a few secret realms, why did they suddenly appear here?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Maybe I identally let them out.¡± ¡°As expected.¡± When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she immediately looked as if she had expected it. Clearly, she had already guessed this oue. ¡°I was wondering why I could see a hint of an aura simr to a scarlet evil spirit on you.¡± ¡°See?¡± Upon hearing this word, Mo Xiao also looked at Su Jin¡¯er in surprise. ¡°One of my skills, the Eye of Souls, allows me to see things other than data, such as some special auras,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said calmly. ¡°The strength of scarlet evil spirits lies in the fact that their souls can be lodged in any part of their bodies. They can break off their limbs and escape at any time, so they can be lodged in other people¡¯s bodies. That¡¯s why they¡¯re especially difficult to kill.¡± ¡°Then what should we do?¡± Mo Xiao frowned and asked directly. Su Jin¡¯er smiled slightly and waved at Mo Xiao, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. As long as you target their souls, you can easily kill them with a single blow!¡± ¡°Spirit Capturing Hand!¡± With a soft shout from Su Jin¡¯er, arms condensed from ck gas flew out of Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s hand and instantly entered the bodies of all the monsters. In the next moment, illusory souls flew into the air under the control of the ck arm. As expected, there was a scarlet pearl attached to the body of each soul. Evidently, these scarlet pearls were the souls of the Scarlet Evil Spirits, specifically used to control the monsters. Looking at these scarlet pearls, Mo Xiao was about to act, but he noticed that the souls of these monsters instantly shattered under the control of the ck arms, leaving no trace behind. ¡°As long as we deal with the souls of these monsters along with them, we¡¯ll be safe,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said calmly. Observing her actions, Mo Xiao nodded slightly. ¡°What if a human is possessed by these evil spirits? Would you handle it the same way?¡± ¡°If it¡¯s a person whose soul ispletely controlled by an evil spirit, then there¡¯s indeed only a way topletely erase it. If it¡¯s not so serious, it can be resolved with some advanced purification technique,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said calmly. ¡°But since you¡¯re asking this way, I assume someone has been possessed?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and said, ¡°Jiang He was possessed by an evil spirit and seems to have a Scarlet Demon Vine on her.¡± ¡°Jiang He? Your little girlfriend?¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao with an odd expression. Mo Xiao quickly shook his head, denying it, ¡°No! She¡¯s not my girlfriend! I have nothing to do with her! She insisted oning close to me herself!¡± ¡°Pfft¡­¡± Seeing Mo Xiao like this, Su Jin¡¯er almostughed out loud. Like a big sister, she patted Mo Xiao¡¯s head and said, ¡°Alright, I didn¡¯t say anything, right? Don¡¯t be so nervous-¡± Mo Xiao shook his head, flicking away Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s hand. He retreated a couple of steps and said, ¡°I think we¡¯ve cleared all the monsters here. Let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°It¡¯s still too early to go back now. What we just dealt with was just the surface.¡± Su Jin¡¯er turned around slowly, her eyes glowing with two blue mes. She spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Are youing out voluntarily, or should I pull you out? Or do you want to die underground?¡± As Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words fell, there was no movement nearby, as if she were speaking to thin air. H 7¡å Just as Mo Xiao was looking at Su Jin¡¯er in confusion, her staff lightly tapped the ground in her hand. Suddenly, countless blue mes erupted from the ground, engulfing an area of hundreds of meters. Despite being mes, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t feel any heat. Instead, the temperature around them seemed to drop with the appearance of the mes. Just as Mo Xiao was wondering what Su Jin¡¯er was doing, a piercing scream echoed in their ears. The next moment, the ground in front of them cracked open, and a massive red sphere entwined with numerous vines soared into the air. It was covered in blue mes, trembling all over. [Scarlet Demon Vine] Level: LV50 Strength: 1 Agility: 1 Spirit: 1 Endurance: 10 Physique: 1 Status: Damaged Soul (All attributes reduced to 1) ¡°All!!! Who are you? How did you find me? What are these mes?!¡± Clearly, this soul damage was caused by the blue mes released by Su Jin¡¯er. Clearly, the soul had been damaged due to the blue mes Su Jin¡¯er had released. In front of her, the once formidable opponent now seemed like an easy target. ¡°Indeed, you¡¯re a Scarlet Evil Spirit. You dare to cause trouble in our human city at a mere level 50? Is the Human Race really so helpless?¡± Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s your n?¡± ¡°Hehehe, of course it¡¯s tounch a beast tide against your human cities andunch a siege battle! Mo Xiao! Do you think you can deal with me just because you found help? Impossible! Don¡¯t forget, Jiang He is still in our hands! ¡°Don¡¯t forget! We Scarlet Evil Spirits can infinitely control other living beings! Do you think that by killing me, you¡¯ll resolve the crisis? Impossible! Let me tell you, when the siege begins, your human main city will crumble! Hahaha!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Listening to the Scarlet Demon Vine¡¯s words, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression remained unchanged. Su Jin¡¯er nced at Mo Xiao and asked, ¡°So, what do you think? Should 1 finish him off directly? Or do you want to do it yourself?¡± Mo Xiao shook his head and took a step forward. ¡°Help me restrain it. It¡¯s a perfect opportunity for me to try out a new skill I¡¯ve learned..¡± Chapter 109 - 109: Yama’s Heart Devouring Curse Chapter 109: Yama¡¯s Heart Devouring Curse Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios The new skill that Mo Xiao mentioned was not the skill he had just rubbed acquired. Nor was it the Spirit Control Technique taught by the Sword Emperor. Instead, it was the red skill book called the Heart Devouring Curse that he had stolen from Tu Fei. Although red was the highest level on the surface, Mo Xiao knew that there was a rainbow quality above red. The divine beast jade on him was of seven-colored quality. As Mo Xiao had expected, this skill book had be a seven-colored quality skill. [Yama Heart Devouring Curse: Devours the Heart of Souls in the name of Yama.

The Scarlet Demon Vine, which was originally screaming, trembled and instantly stopped moving. The painful screams also stopped at this moment. It was as if it had given up struggling and was floating in midair. On the side, Su Jin¡¯er frowned when she saw this. She had felt a very strange soul fluctuation just now, but she did not find anything unusual on Mo Xiao¡¯s body. ¡°Put out these mes. You can also release your control over him. I¡¯ve controlled it,¡± Mo Xiao said lightly. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er nced at Mo Xiao in confusion. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s determined expression, she did not say anything and directly released her control over the Scarlet Demon Vine. ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s your n?¡± Mo Xiao asked directly. ¡°Our n is to contact the higher-ups of the Tianyuan Battlefield and directlyunch an attack on Yicheng Base City. The application has been submitted, and the battle will begin in five days at thetest. ¡°At the same time, Tao Yaoyao will control Jiang He to stay in Yicheng Base City. Through the power of the evil spirits, she will control as many people as possible who can affect the battle. ¡°Now that Jiang Ran is under the control of my main body, Fang Chang has also been infected by the power of the evil spirits, and about a hundred soldiers guarding the city have been infected by us. With Jiang He¡¯s speed, before the battle begins, all the upations guarding the city will bepletely under our control. ¡°But 1 don¡¯t trust Tao Yaoyao, so when I controlled these wild monsters, I split a portion of my body and sneaked underground, just in case. This is all our n for the time being.¡± Listening to the Scarlet Demon Vine¡¯s words, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression instantly became solemn. ¡°Then can you stop Jiang He¡¯s actions?¡± ¡°Yes, Tao Yaoyao¡¯s power belongs to me. As long as 1 withdraw this portion of power, everyone except Jiang He will return to normal,¡± the Scarlet Demon Vine replied like a lifeless person. Hearing this, Mo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, ¡°Then can the application for siege battle be canceled?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be canceled. This application has already been submitted to the World Origin. Unless it¡¯s rejected by the World Origin, it can¡¯t be canceled,¡± the Scarlet Demon Vine continued. H 11 Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Then summon your hidden clone over and retract the infection ability you gave Tao Yaoyao.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Following the sound of the Scarlet Demon Vine, everyone fell silent. After a while, a crimson tendril broke through the soil, and then it turned into a small sphere that merged into the Scarlet Demon Vine¡¯s body. ¡°I¡¯ve already retrieved Tao Yaoyao¡¯s ability,¡± the Scarlet Demon Vine replied like a robot. ¡°Well, can you let Tao Yaoyao leave Jiang He¡¯s body?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and asked. The Scarlet Demon Vine said without thinking, ¡°I can¡¯t do it. In half a month, Tao Yaoyao haspletely fused with Jiang He. Unless I kill Jiang He, it¡¯s impossible to extract her from her body.¡± ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and looked directly at Su Jin¡¯er beside him. ¡°Do you have any questions?¡± ¡°No, you¡¯ve already asked me everything 1 want to know.¡± ¡°Then do you have any use for this Scarlet Demon Vine?¡± Mo Xiao continued to ask. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s the use of keeping such a creature? It¡¯s best to kill it directly,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said directly. Hearing this, Mo Xiao looked directly at the Scarlet Demon Vine. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re useless. Go to hell.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, before Mo Xiao could draw his sword, the scarlet light on the Scarlet Demon Vine instantly dimmed, turning into a deathly gray color, and then smashed heavily to the ground. ¡°Hmm? What¡¯s going on?¡± Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao was also shocked. Obviously, he did not expect this to happen. Seeing this, Su Jin¡¯er said with a strange expression, ¡°Its soul dissipated directly. It¡¯s already deader than dead. Didn¡¯t you get any news of the kill?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched as he shook his head. ¡°Your skill should be able topletely control it, right?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked after some thought. ¡°Yes, is there a problem?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very simple. When you told him to go to hell, hemitted suicide directly. Or rather, he directly dissipated his soul, so it¡¯s considered suicide, not killing him,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a strange expression. ¡°Isn¡¯t your skill a little too domineering? You can even make himmit suicide directly. This is too scary. The CD should be very long, right?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ um, it can only be used once every 10 days,¡± Mo Xiao nodded and said. ¡°This kind of skill only has a cooldown of 10 days?¡± Su Jin¡¯er could not help but gasp. She also had a simr control skill, but the cooldown was as long as a month, and it was not as overwhelming as Mo Xiao¡¯s control ability. Su Jin¡¯er continued, ¡°Alright, now that the problem is solved, and we know their secrets, let¡¯s just go back and eliminate Jiang He. Everything will be over then.¡± ¡°Fine.¡± Mo Xiao nodded without thinking. ¡°The danger of this scarlet evil spirit is too great. No matter what, Jiang He cannot be spared. Understand?¡± Su Jin¡¯er reminded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I understand. You can attack directly.¡± Mo Xiao was still very calm. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s nonchnt expression, Su Jin¡¯er was a bit curious, ¡°By the way, don¡¯t you have any emotional fluctuations? After all, I¡¯m about to go kill your good friend.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any friends. Leveling up with Jiang He was just a transaction.¡± Mo Xiao said very calmly. ¡°Ah, I see¡­ Then am I not considered your friend?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked with a smile. ¡°You¡­¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was also stunned. After thinking for a moment, he said, ¡°You¡­ are my future senior sister.¡± With that, he turned around and walked towards the base city. Upon hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s answer, Su Jin¡¯er smiled in satisfaction and said, ¡°You sure know how to talk. Let¡¯s go back and resolve thest hidden danger. Then, we can face the siege directly..¡± Chapter 110 - 11o: Another Change Chapter 11o: Another Change Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Since the siege would not begin for a few days, Mo Xiao and Su Jin¡¯er were not in a hurry. They returned to Yicheng Base City at a leisurely pace. ¡°The two of you are back? You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± As soon as they entered the base city, the two people guarding the city gate weed them. ¡°Yes, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Seeing the two of them step forward, Mo Xiao nced sideways at Su Jin¡¯er beside him. Seeing this, blue mes appeared in Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s eyes again, but they were instantly extinguished. Then, she shook her head at Mo Xiao, and only then did he rx. ¡°City Lord Fang Chang said that if the two of you return, he asked me to inform the two of you and go to the City Lord¡¯s Residence immediately. He has something to discuss with the two of you,¡± the guard said truthfully. ¡°Alright, I understand. We¡¯ll go over now.¡± Mo Xiao did not waste his breath on them. He casually responded and rushed towards the City Lord¡¯s Residence with Su Jin¡¯er. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s Master Fang calling us, or¡­ is this the n of that evil spirit?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked in a low voice as she followed behind Mo Xiao. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. We¡¯ll know when we get there. Without the Scarlet Demon Vine, killing Tao Yaoyao is easy,¡± Mo Xiao said very calmly. When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she looked at Mo Xiao yfully and said, ¡°It¡¯s rare to see someone as calm as you-¡± ¡°?¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Jin¡¯er in confusion. ¡°I hope I¡¯m overthinking, but you¡¯d better be prepared to deal with the Jiang family,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said lightly. ¡°After all, she¡¯s the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao was silent for a moment before nodding, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I understand.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go. 1 feel that this might be a fierce battle for you-¡± The smile on Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s face had already disappeared, reced by a hint of seriousness. ¡°With a big shot like you around, would anything happen to me?¡± Mo Xiao seemed quite reassured about Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s capabilities. Su Jin¡¯er shook her head slightly and said indifferently, ¡°Whether 1 can intervene or not remains to be seen. Let¡¯s go.¡± Listening to Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s cryptic words, Mo Xiao furrowed his brow and his alertness heightened. He strode purposefully towards the City Lord¡¯s Residence. Soon, under Mo Xiao¡¯s lead, the two arrived at the City Lord¡¯s Residence. As soon as he entered the City Lord¡¯s Residence, the Sword Emperor¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s ear, ¡°Kid, be careful. There seems to be a formidable presence up there!¡± ¡°Powerful? The City Lord?¡± Mo Xiao asked doubtfully. ¡°I¡¯ve seen Fang Chang before. It¡¯s definitely not Fang Chang. In short, it¡¯s better to be careful,¡± the Sword Emperor reminded. ¡°Yes, I understand.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and quickly arrived at the familiar office. Just like before, there were still two guards standing at the door. Just as Mo Xiao was about to ask them to open the door, the two guards fell to the ground. ¡°!!!¡¯? Seeing this, Mo Xiao was also shocked. Just as he was about to go up and check on the situation, he was stopped by Su Jin¡¯er, ¡°Stop looking. They¡¯re already dead. Looks like Jiang He found a big shot this time.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether to go in directly. At this moment, the door of the office suddenly opened, and a dark red energy instantly surged out of the room. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, why hesitate outside?¡± A gentle voice sounded. Mo Xiao felt a tremendous force push him from behind and thrust him into the room. As soon as he entered the room, Mo Xiao saw Jiang He standing in the middle of the office with a smile, quietly looking at him. Fang Chang was sitting behind the desk, his head lowered and unmoving. Meanwhile, Jiang Shan and Jiang Ran were standing on either side of Fang Chang. ¡°You¡¯re finally back. It seems that you¡¯ve dealt with the Scarlet Demon Vine.¡± Jiang He looked at the two of them with a smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you topletely kill the Scarlet Demon Vine. Even my infection ability has disappeared.¡± ¡°Tao Yaoyao¡­¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression remained unchanged. He had drawn the Four-Symbol Heavy Sword without him realizing it. It seemed he was ready to take action at any moment. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t be agitated. Put down the sword first!¡± As soon as Jiang He finished speaking, the Four Symbols Heavy Sword in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand instantly left his hand. [Ding, your Four Symbols Heavy Sword has been removed.] ¡°!!!¡± Seeing this sudden change, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted,pletely unaware of what had happened. This shouldn¡¯t be a skill that Tao Yaoyao possessed! ¡°Moon Demon, stop hiding behind and ying a double act. Come out. What¡¯s the point of scaring a little guy!¡± At this moment, Su Jin¡¯er suddenly knocked the staff in her hand on the ground, and most of the strange ck aura around her instantly dissipated. At the same time, a graceful woman slowly emerged from Fang Chang¡¯s body. ¡°It¡¯s your damned necromancer again! 1 didn¡¯t expect to see you outside the Tianyuan Battlefield!¡± As the woman¡¯s figure appeared, a voice that was like a broken gong directly came from her mouth. Hearing this voice, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but tremble and subconsciously look at the woman. Although the woman had a graceful figure, she had a pitch-ck face on her head and nine eyes on her face. Moreover, these nine eyes kept moving on her face, giving off an extremely strange feeling. Looking at this disgusting face, Mo Xiao subconsciously gulped. ¡°Illusion Breaking Technique¡­¡± [Moon Demon] Level: LV50 HP: 40,000/40,000 Strength: 500 Agility: 1,000 Spirit: 3,000 Endurance: 1,000 Physique: 500 Skills: Descent of the Moon Demon: Enables all nearby enemies to enter a hypnotic state for 5 seconds.

Almost all five skills were control skills, and there was also a hidden special skill? Her health didn¡¯t seem to be high, and she could be killed at any time. However, with these control skills, it was probably very difficult to get close to her. ¡°Be careful. This guy¡¯s special skill is very simr to the Scarlet Demon Vine. It can control the minds of others..¡± Chapter 111 - 111: Space Stone Chapter 111: Space Stone Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Necromancer, why did youe to such a ce instead of staying in the Tianyuan Battlefield?¡± The Moon Demon disliked Su Jin¡¯er and asked with displeasure. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t 1 be asking you that? How did you leave the battlefield? It seems that the World Origin doesn¡¯t allow your demon n to leave the Tianyuan Battlefield!¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked coldly. When the Moon Demon heard this, it grinned. ¡°You humans aren¡¯t the only ones who have things that break the rules. We can also obtain them bypleting certain missions.¡± When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, her expression darkened slightly. The fact that the demons could leave Tianyuan Battlefield was not a good thing for humans. After all, the demons were different from other creatures. They had infinite lives; even if they were killed, they could return to theirirs with their experience, much like yers in a game. Unless theirir was breached andpletely destroyed, it was impossible to kill demons. Their numbers would only continue to increase. As for the Scarlet Evil Spirits, they were a branch of the demon n, slightly weaker in power but possessing a more disturbing parasitic control ability. ¡°She doesn¡¯t seem very strong. As long as 1 can withstand her control skills, I can take her down instantly,¡± seeing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s serious expression, Mo Xiao said directly. ¡°It¡¯s not as simple as you think.¡± Su Jin¡¯er shook her head and said, ¡°She¡¯s from the demon race and one of our main enemies on the Tianyuan Battlefield. ¡°Although her HP is only 40,000, this is only the first stage of her HP,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said solemnly. ¡°She belongs to the upper echelons of the Moon Demons and has a total of three stages. Her HP will increase by 10 times in each stage. After she is finally killed, she will return to their main city to revive.¡± ¡°Resurrect in the main city?!¡± Upon hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes instantly widened. ¡°Is that also one of their abilities?¡± ¡°No, this is their racial characteristic. Moreover, they can bestow their power to other creatures and turn them into demons, so they are also the most troublesome existences on the battlefield,¡± Su Jin¡¯er exined. ¡°Necromancer, 1 don¡¯t have time to teach you now. You humans will all die here today! And this city will be the first main city for us demons to leave the Tianyuan Battlefield!¡± the Moon Demon screamed. The next moment, a moon shining with silver light appeared before her. Immediately, Mo Xiao felt a tremendous force on himself. He couldn¡¯t even move his fingers, let alone attack. It was one of the Moon Demon¡¯s control skills, Moon Shadow. ¡°Jiang He, attack!¡± With the appearance of the Moon Shadow, the Lunar Demon didn¡¯t make a move herself. Instead, she ordered loudly. ¡°Yes!¡± Jiang He responded, quickly drawing her bow and firing a scarlet arrow. [-10] [-1] ¡°???¡± The Moon Demon widened her eyes at this sight, ¡°Jiang He, what are you doing? Scraping?¡± ¡°I¡­ The Scarlet Demon Vine is dead. I don¡¯t have any strength left. Jiang He, this human, is too weak. I can¡¯t break through their defense!¡± Jiang He finally reacted and said with a panicked expression. ¡°Then you can die first!¡± Although five seconds had not yet passed, for some reason, Mo Xiao directly moved. Ayer of holy light appeared on his body, and the two Four Symbols Giant Swords, one in front and one behind, directly shed at Jiang He. ¡°Ding! Ding!¡± However, with the sound of two metals colliding, Mo Xiao was instantly sent flying. [-1,200!] [-3,000!] Instantly, two damages that exceeded a thousand appeared above Mo Xiao¡¯s head. Jiang Shan and Jiang Ran suddenly appeared in front of Jiang He and sent Mo Xiao flying. Seeing this, Mo Xiao was about to speak when he realized that both Jiang Shan and Jiang Ran seemed to have closed their eyes. Mo Xiao frowned and directly used the Detection Technique. ¡°Are they both asleep?¡± Seeing this state, Mo Xiao was also stunned. The two of them had clearly fought just now. How could they be in a sleep state? ¡°It¡¯s probably the work of the Moon Demon. Although 1 don¡¯t know what skill it is, it seems they aren¡¯tpletely controlled. If they wake up, they¡¯ll probably be fine,¡± Su Jin¡¯er freed herself from the control and said, ¡°You step back, leave this to¡­¡± Before Su Jin¡¯er could finish speaking, a strange bead fell from the sky andnded on her. Instantly, a silver light shed, and Su Jin¡¯er instantly disappeared. ¡°Where is she?!¡± Mo Xiao was stunned when he saw Su Jin¡¯er suddenly disappear, and he was dumbfounded again. ¡°I¡¯ve teleported her away. This is the Space Stone I obtained at a high cost, specially used for random teleportation. She probably won¡¯t be able toe back for a short time!¡± The Moon Demon grinned at Mo Xiao, ¡°Now, as long as I kill you, everything will be fine.¡± H 11 Mo Xiao fell silent at this statement, looking at the Moon Demon in front of him and asked, ¡°What did you do to Jiang Shan and Jiang Ran? Why did they attack me directly?¡± ¡°In fact, I didn¡¯t do much. I just made their subjective consciousness fall into sleep, leaving a shallow awareness, simr to what you humans call reflex. If you hurt their loved ones, they¡¯ll attack you directly. That¡¯s probably how it works.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment. Jiang He could not break through his defense, so attacking her wouldn¡¯t be a problem. If he forcefully attacked Jiang He, it would trigger Jiang Shan and Jiang Ran¡¯s attacks against him, so he couldn¡¯t touch Jiang He for now. Although the Moon Demon did not know how strong she was, she had been floating behind the scenes. Previously, she did not take the initiative to attack when she had the chance and only used a control skill. Although Su Jin¡¯er had been sent away, she had not really attacked since the beginning. Thinking of this, Mo Xiao let out a sigh of relief. He drew out the Four Symbols Heavy Sword again and instantly activated Shadowless, instantly bypassing Jiang He, Jiang Shan, and Jiang Ran. He rushed behind the Moon Demon and shed at her. -0 !!! Zero?? Not a single drop of blood was lost?! This couldn¡¯t be true! Looking at the situation in front of him, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. This was impossible! ¡°Is it a miss?¡± Mo Xiao muttered in confusion. ¡°It seems you¡¯ve found out,¡± the Moon Demon turned slowly, grinning, ¡°I¡¯m not a solid entity now. You can¡¯t attack me-¡± ¡°But 1 can disrupt you with my skills. What will you do?¡± the Moon Demon said mischievously. ¡°Since I can¡¯t hit you, you can¡¯t hit me either. Isn¡¯t it too strenuous to kill me with just Jiang He?¡± Mo Xiao said indifferently. ¡°Who said I can only control Jiang He?¡± The Moon Demon chuckled. ¡°I was just preparing a Space Stone earlier. The person I¡¯m controlling is actually the strongest one here.¡± As the Moon Demon finished speaking, Fang Chang slowly stood up from his seat.. Chapter 112 - 112: Suppression from a Third-Revolution Realm? Chapter 112: Suppression from a Third-Revolution Realm? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Looking at Fang Chang who was slowly standing up, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression instantly became solemn. He had never probed Fang Chang¡¯s attributes. But someone who could sit in the City Lord¡¯s seat was definitely not weak. As for Jiang He, Mo Xiao was no longer in the mood to care about her. Although it was easy to kill Jiang He, she was protected by Jiang Shan and Jiang Ran. It wouldn¡¯t be easy to get past these two.

Status: Possessed by the Moon Demon Looking at Fang Chang¡¯s attribute panel, which wasparable to a boss, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression became even uglier. Especially thest line. Realm Suppression, not only a 60% damage reduction, but also a 50% reduction in defense? He might as well let a higher-level person insta-kill him! ¡°How am I supposed to fight this¡­¡± Mo Xiao gritted his teeth. This was the first being he had encountered since he learned how to battle that he didn¡¯t know how to deal with, apart from the Guardian. Behind Fang Chang, the Moon Demon watched Mo Xiao¡¯s frustrated expression and smiled with satisfaction. Her ethereal body merged directly into Fang Chang. The next moment, Fang Chang opened his eyes wide, and a red and white sword and a shield appeared in his hands. At the same time, Fang Chang rushed forward in an instant, and the huge shield in his hand smashed towards Mo Xiao. Seeing Fang Chang charging straight towards him, Mo Xiao quickly retreated. ¡°Advanced Resistance Fire Ring! ¡°Soul Extinguishing ck me!¡± As Mo Xiao retreated, he hurled a ball of ck mes at Fang Chang¡¯s head. Seeing this, Fang Chang hurriedly raised his shield in front of him. For the first time, the invincible mes were blocked, not even causing Fang Chang to lose a drop of blood. But taking advantage of this opening, Mo Xiao immediately activated his summoning technique. ¡°Skeleton Lord Summoning! ¡°Skeletal Dragon Summoning!¡± As the two magic arrays rose, three huge skeleton monsters appeared out of thin air. However, they only appeared for a moment before turning into bones on the ground. [Warning, undead creatures cannot be summoned within the human main city.] ¡°Damn it!¡± Seeing this prompt, Mo Xiao uttered a curse. Undead creatures couldn¡¯t be summoned here? How was he supposed to fight then? Although Fang Chang¡¯s strength value did not seem high, who knew if he had any powerful damage skills! Coupled with the 50% defense ignore from Realm Suppression, the possibility of being cleaved to death in one strike was too high! ¡°Oh? Are you trying to use summoning magic? Unfortunately, this is the human main city, you can¡¯t summon undead creatures here!¡± The Moon Demon also understood Mo Xiao¡¯s intention and sneered, ¡°Here¡¯s the deal, human, I¡¯ll give you a choice. ¡°You¡¯re the first obstacle I¡¯ve encountered since I came to the human main city. Although you look weak, you must have some potential among humans to be able to let that necromancer follow you, right? ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing to be a member of my Demon Race and infiltrate the human world for us, I¡¯ll spare your life. How about it?¡± The Moon Demon tempted. Be a demon race member? Hearing this condition, Mo Xiao was somewhat surprised. What did that mean? Could he actually change his race? Or did it mean being possessed like Fang Chang and Jiang He? ¡°Mo Xiao! Don¡¯t listen to her nonsense! Humans can¡¯t turn into demons! The only way to be a demon is like them, being possessed by other demons!¡± The Sword Emperor saw Mo Xiao¡¯s confusion and quickly reminded him, fearing that Mo Xiao would believe the Moon Demon¡¯s words. Seeing that Mo Xiao was stunned, the Sword Emperor quickly reminded him, afraid that Mo Xiao would believe the Moon Demon¡¯s nder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not stupid,¡± Mo Xiao said coldly and took the initiative to rush towards Fang Chang. ¡°me Entanglement!¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, the Moon Demon snorted coldly, ¡°Since you¡¯re seeking death, I¡¯ll grant your wish!¡± Without waiting for the mes to wrap around Fang Chang¡¯s body, Fang Chang suddenly rushed forward. His body instantly lit up with a strange golden light, and the fire vines broke one by one. ¡°Physical Domination?¡± Looking at the sword shing towards him, Mo Xiao did not dodge this time and directly raised his sword to block. ¡°ng!¡± With a dull collision sound, Fang Chang was instantly sent flying. At the same time, three streams of lightnded on his body. -500 -500 -500 n H Although this damage was already high enough for a Level 20 yer to fight a Level 70 yer, Fang Chang had a total of 80,000 HP. Who knew how long it would take to grind him down like this! ¡°The reflective shield only reflected 500 damage¡­ Is his damage low, or has it offset the damage¡­¡± Mo Xiao looked at the situation in front of him in confusion. Mo Xiao pondered for a moment before rushing towards Fang Chang again. Seeing this, Fang Chang did not hesitate at all. The shield in his hand shed with golden light and ruthlessly smashed towards Mo Xiao. [Righteous Fury!] This time, Mo Xiao neither dodged nor blocked. Following Fang Chang¡¯s movements, he directly shed with his sword. ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± -25,440! [-15,000!] In an instant, Mo Xiao¡¯s HP was nearly depleted, leaving only 2,350 points, while Fang Chang¡¯s HP was only reduced by a quarter. -7,500! At this moment, a red light shed on Mo Xiao¡¯s body, and his HP decreased by another 7,500. Seeing this scene, a glint of understanding shed in Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes. It seemed that the reflected damage would not be offset by the realm suppression. ¡°Divine Healing Technique!¡± With a wave of his hand, Mo Xiao¡¯s HP instantly replenished: ¡°I know how to deal with you now.¡± Just as the Moon Demon was feeling puzzled, Mo Xiao suddenly moved and almost instantly rushed to Jiang He¡¯s side. Jiang Shan and Jiang Ran immediately stood in front of Jiang He. However, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t seem to care about this and mmed his hands hard on the two of them. ¡°Demonic Qi extraction!

Cooldown: 10 minutes.] After entering the state of demonization, Mo Xiao¡¯s defensive power would instantly drop to zero, both strength and mental power would increase tenfold, in this state¡­ As long as Fang Chang managed to hit him, he would undoubtedly die. If he managed tond a hit on Fang Chang, Fang Chang would also die! Unless Fang Chang knew what he wanted to do and did not attack no matter what, only blocking and dodging, he would die no matter what! ¡°Demonization?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s state, the Moon Demon was taken aback. Then, she smiled disdainfully and controlled Fang Chang to attack Mo Xiao again. Just like before, Mo Xiao did not dodge or evade. He shed at Fang Chang again. [-50,000!] Mo Xiao, who had lost all his defense, received 50,000 damage from Fang Chang¡¯s sword. His HP bar was instantly emptied, leaving only a trace of HP. [ck Tortoise Armor triggered! Forcefully retaining a drop of blood!] ¡°Die!¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s sword alsonded on Fang Chang¡¯s body. Although the full-powered attack was still in cooldown, the tenfold damage caused by the demonization was enough for Mo Xiao to kill this guy with one strike. -254,400! Just as Mo Xiao thought that he had dealt with Fang Chang, he discovered that Fang Chang¡¯s body was lit up with ayer of hazy golden light. [[Indomitable Spirit: Forced to retain a drop of blood after receiving fatal damage, and recover fifty percent of health within five seconds!] Seeing this state, Mo Xiao was not too surprised. After all, this was a level 78 Knight. It was normal for him to have a few life-saving skills. Looking at Fang Chang, Mo Xiao did not directly go up and finish him off. Instead, he used the Divine Healing Technique on himself again, as if waiting for a better opportunity. Mo Xiao knew very well that this kind of life-saving skill usuallysted for five to ten seconds, so it was useless to go up now. At this moment, a silver light suddenly lit up behind Fang Chang. Suddenly, that terrifying suppression reappeared, and Mo Xiao was once again immobilized in ce. ¡°Moon Shadow again? What a powerful crowd control skill. If only I could rub it and snatch it away¡­¡± The next moment, a sharp pain instantly came from his chest, and his originally full HP was emptied again. [-30,000!] -15,000! [You are dead¡­] [Beep! Death God¡¯s Protection has been triggered! Full health revival!] ¡°Why isn¡¯t this kid dead yet!¡± Seeing this scene, the Moon Demon gritted her teeth and controlled Fang Chang to once again strike with his shield. However, at this moment, the shield in Fang Chang¡¯s hand suddenly disappeared. [Quick Fingers has been sessfully executed. The Holy Shield has been stolen.] ¡°Oh- This is the first time I¡¯ve stolen an equipped weapon!¡± ¡°Stolen?!¡± Seeing this message, the Moon Demon was dumbfounded. What kind of outrageous skill is this? Equipped items could be stolen too? Are they even letting people y the game anymore? ¡°I thought this City Lord was the strongest! 1 never expected him to be all show and no substance!¡± Whether it was out of anger or for some other reason, the Moon Demon ran out of Fang Chang. Released from Moon Demon¡¯s control, Fang Chang crashed heavily to the ground and became lifeless. ¡°Moon Shadow! Moonlight!¡± Before Mo Xiao could attack the Moon Demon, the eerie moonlight appeared once again. This time, not only did Mo Xiao lose his ability to move, but even his vision was sealed by the moonlight. ¡°Kid, you seem quite powerful! So, I¡¯ll just take your body without hesitation!¡± Hearing the Moon Demon¡¯s words, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow, appearingpletely unfazed. Just like that, he waited for the Moon Demon to rush in. Just as Mo Xiao was waiting for the Moon Demon to approach, he suddenly realized that the Moon Demon had gone silent. At the same time, a strange burning sensation enveloped him. Five secondster, Mo Xiao slowly opened his eyes, ¡°Where¡¯s the Moon Demon?¡± ¡°In here.¡± At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded from behind Mo Xiao. A middle-aged man wearing a straw hat was holding a fireball in his hand, and the Moon Demon from before seemed to be in the center of the fireball. ¡°Little fellow, we met again. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so strong after not seeing you for half a month.¡± As the middle-aged uncle spoke, he casually waved his hand, and countless mes instantly swept through the entire room. Immediately, the dark energy in the room dissipated, restoring it to its previous brightness. ¡°You are¡­ the fruit vendor!¡± At that moment, Mo Xiao remembered who this person was, and involuntarily eximed. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me.¡± The vendor chuckled, ¡°But before we catch up, we should resolve some other matters first.¡± As the vendor spoke, he gently snapped his fingers. A small bird made of mes suddenly flew out from in front of the stall owner and entered Fang Chang¡¯s body. The next moment, Fang Chang¡¯s body trembled slightly, then suddenly leapt up from the ground, ¡°Mo Xiao, get out of the way!¡± Mo Xiao:¡±¡­¡± The vendor:¡±¡­¡± ¡°Uh¡­ What¡¯s going on?¡± Fang Chang looked somewhat baffled as he gazed at the seemingly normal office, with a puzzled and helpless expression. ¡°Fang Chang, haven¡¯t you been the City Lord for too long? You actually fell for the Little Moon Demon¡¯s trick.¡± Just as Fang Chang was feeling puzzled, a cold voice sounded from behind him. Fang Chang looked in the direction of the voice and his eyes widened. ¡°Lord Fire God?! Why are you here?!¡± ¡°Fire God?¡± Hearing this name, Mo Xiao was also stunned. Obviously, he had never heard of it before. ¡°I¡¯ve been ying around in your territory all this time, but I never thought I¡¯d encounter something like this.¡± The Fire God¡¯s voice was faint, ¡°The three over there should have woken up by now!¡± As the Fire God¡¯s voice sounded, Jiang Shan and Jiang Ran, who had their heads lowered, shuddered and woke up instantly. Jiang Shan: ¡°I¡­ What¡¯s wrong with me?¡± Jiang Ran looked around. ¡°I seemed to be at home just now. How did 1 suddenly end up here?¡± Jiang He:¡±¡­¡± Seeing their reactions, the Fire God narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°It seems that this person has beenpletely devoured¡­¡± Hearing the Fire God¡¯s words, Mo Xiao also looked at Jiang He. ¡°Kid, what do you think we should do next?¡± The Fire God looked at Jiang He, then turned his head and shifted his gaze to Mo Xiao, ¡°From a certain perspective, this trouble was brought back by you. You caused it to arise, so it naturally falls to you to end it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because I went and you gave me the Wood Secret Realm.¡± Mo Xiao nced at the Fire God and muttered speechlessly. ¡°You really went in? You can actually defeat that Skeletal Dragon?¡± When the Fire God heard Mo Xiao¡¯s words, he looked at him in surprise and immediately smiled. ¡°Tell me, what are you nning to do next? Just a reminder, this one no longer possesses a human soul..¡± Chapter 114 - 114: Jiang He Is Dead! Chapter 114: Jiang He Is Dead! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Let me remind you that this person no longer has a human soul. It¡¯s up to you to kill her or keep her,¡± the Fire God said calmly. As soon as the Fire God said this, before Mo Xiao could speak, Jiang Shan and Jiang Ran quickly jumped out from the side, ¡°Lord War God! Jiang He is my daughter! She¡¯s a human! How could she not have a human soul?¡± ¡°Yes! Lord of War! Please show mercy! This must be some sort of special debuff. There must be a way to remove it!¡± Jiang Shan followed Jiang Ran, anxiously looking towards Fang Chang. He wanted Fang Chang to put in a good word for Jiang He. Seeing this, Fang Chang sighed and spoke, ¡°Lord Fire God, Jiang He is still just a child. This wasn¡¯t her intention, and it would be better to spare her.¡± When the Fire God heard this, he nced coldly at Fang Chang and said, ¡°The girl named Jiang He is already dead. What¡¯s here is a pure evil spirit. Like I said earlier, there¡¯s no human soul left within her. ¡°Moreover, the choice to kill or spare has already been left to this young one. What are you asking me for? Ask him.¡± Upon hearing the Fire God¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s gaze instantly shifted to Mo Xiao. Jiang Shan even rushed up to Mo Xiao, pleading, ¡°Mo Xiao! Our Jiang family has treated you well! Jiang He always had you in her thoughts! She¡¯s only possessed by an evil spirit. Spare her, please! At least give us a chance to lift the curse on her. Can you do that?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang Shan but didn¡¯t respond. Instead, he walked directly towards Jiang He. Seeing this, Jiang Ran also hurriedly blocked him, ¡°Mo Xiao! Our Jiang family and your Mo family have been friends for a long time! Although our Jiang family didn¡¯t help with the death of your family, our Jiang family still helped you a lot after you changed your profession! ¡°At least Jiang He helped you a lot!¡± ¡°Jiang He helped me. I¡¯ve already returned the favor. The rest has nothing to do with me. 1 didn¡¯t see the help your Jiang family gave me. As for being friends with the Mo family? I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m an orphan and don¡¯t have a home,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly and continued to walk towards Jiang He. Although Jiang Ran still wanted to block him, he didn¡¯t dare to move at all because the Fire God was watching from behind. Mo Xiao slowly walked up to Jiang He and said, ¡°Tao Yaoyao, are you going to admit it yourself, or do you want me to prove it?¡± ¡°Mo Xiao¡­ Please don¡¯t kill me. Can¡¯t you see our past as ssmates?¡± Jiang He hurriedly put on a pitiful expression, as if she were truly Jiang He: ¡°Dad! Uncle Jiang Shan! Please save me!¡± Seeing Tao Yaoyao like this, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression did not change much. With a thought, a gray puppy appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. ¡°Eh? A pet?¡± As Little Gray appeared, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Little Gray. However, because of Mo Xiao, they could not detect Little Gray¡¯s attributes. Mo Xiao ignored their actions. Instead, with a thought, a panel instantly appeared in front of everyone. [Radiance of the Divine Spirit: Activate the heavenly spirit¡¯s origin, emitting a dazzling light that can dispel and break all evil creatures! It can remove all negative effects! Cost: o. Cooldown: 30 seconds.] ¡°A top-tier purification skill?!¡± Seeing the interface of this skill, everyone was shocked. Even Fang Chang did not have such purifying abilities. ¡°Little Gray, Radiance of the Divine Spirit!¡± Mo Xiaomanded. ¡°Ow!¡± A childish dog bark sounded, and a burst of sacred light erupted from Little Gray. Immediately, ck mist rose from Jiang He¡¯s body. With the brightness of the light, she began to scream in agony. Her skin started to deteriorate under the light¡¯s exposure. ¡°All!!! Stop! Stop!!! Mo Xiao!!! I¡¯m not pretending anymore! I¡¯m not pretending anymore!!¡± Hearing Jiang He¡¯s pleas, Mo Xiao nodded to Little Gray, and the sacred light gradually faded. Jiang He was left panting on the ground, clearly having suffered from the previous burst of light. ¡°It must have been a light-element burning skill just now! Jiang He can¡¯t be an evil spirit!¡± Jiang Ran gritted his teeth and continued to deny it. ¡°Big Brother, the truth¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Just as Jiang Shan was about to speak, he was interrupted by Jiang Ran. ¡°Lord War God, Jiang He is just cursed. How about this¡­ I¡¯m willing to leave the base city with Jiang He. I can give you everything the Jiang family has, as long as you spare Jiang He¡¯s life! I beg you!¡± ¡°Enough.¡± The Fire God interrupted Jiang Shan, ¡°I¡¯ve said before, Jiang He¡¯s fate is now in Mo Xiao¡¯s hands. You should plead with him.¡± ¡°Mo¡­¡± When Jiang Ran heard this, he hurriedly turned around. Before he could speak, Mo Xiao swung his sword. Jiang He¡¯s health bar was instantly emptied and she fell to the ground. ¡°Jiang, Jiang He¡­¡± Seeing Jiang He fall, Jiang Rail¡¯s pupils contracted. He charged toward Mo Xiao: ¡°You scoundrel!!¡± Seeing Jiang Ran rushing towards him at an astonishing speed, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t react in time either. Just then, a wall made of bones shot up from the ground, blocking Mo Xiao, and at the same time, a me rope bound Jiang Ran. ¡°Phew, luckily I made it in time. You really gave me a scare.¡± At that moment, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s voice suddenly echoed around them. ¡°You didn¡¯t need to be so worried. With me here, he wouldn¡¯t have suffered any harm,¡± the Fire God said, looking at Su Jin¡¯er with a smile. ¡°Huh? Uncle Fire God? What are you doing here?¡± Surprised, Su Jin¡¯er stared at the Fire God, not expecting to find him here. ¡°I¡¯m on vacation here. I didn¡¯t expect toe across such an incident. So I decided to step in and handle it,¡± the Fire God said casually. Su Jin¡¯er looked at the Fire God with a strange expression, then asked, ¡°Since you¡¯re here, I assume the matter has been resolved?¡± ¡°Yeah, more or less. This kid has good talent and a decent character,¡± the Fire God said with a faint smile, ¡°He¡¯s just a bit impulsive.¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey! Fire God! He¡¯s my master¡¯s intended disciple! You can¡¯t take him away!¡± Su Jin¡¯er, ignoring Mo Xiao¡¯s emotions, quickly spoke up. ¡°Your master?¡± The Fire God raised his eyebrows when he heard this. She hasn¡¯t shown up, and this kid doesn¡¯t have a master yet. Whoever grabs him first gets him.¡± At this moment, the bone wall slowly descended. Mo Xiao was holding the Four Symbols Heavy Sword with a dumbfounded expression. Clearly, he did not expect someone to protect him. ¡°Mo Xiao! You didn¡¯t be his disciple, did you?¡± Su Jin¡¯er didn¡¯t care about Mo Xiao¡¯s mood and hurriedly asked. ¡°Not yet,¡± Mo Xiao responded, shaking his head instinctively. ¡°That was just now! Kid! Are you willing to be my disciple?!¡± Chapter 115 - 115: Wood Spirit Seed, Fang Chang and the Jiang Family’s Hidden Secret? Chapter 115: Wood Spirit Seed, Fang Chang and the Jiang Family¡¯s Hidden Secret? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Hey, hey, hey! I¡¯m still here! How can you just snatch someone away in front of his senior sister like this!¡± Seeing this, Su Jin¡¯er pulled Mo Xiao into her arms and looked at the distant Fire God with great displeasure. [Su Jin¡¯er rubbed against you fiercely. The skill Soul Eyes has been replicated!] [Soul Eyes: Detect the presence of creatures with the power of the soul.] Mo Xiao did not care about the skill he rubbed against and quickly struggled out of Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s arms. ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys a little too much?!¡± Just as they were about to continue discussing the matter of epting disciples, Jiang Ran¡¯s angry voice echoed from the side. ¡°My daughter was killed by him!!! As the City Lord and the War God, don¡¯t you have any responsibility in this?¡± Jiang Ran roared in anger. The Fire God looked at Jiang Ran with a calm expression and said lightly, ¡°Responsibility for what? She was just an entity whose soul had beenpletely taken over by monsters. 1 don¡¯t think Mo Xiao did anything wrong.¡± ¡°My daughter was possessed by monsters because of him! If he hadn¡¯t taken my daughter to that nonsense secret realm, would this have happened?¡± Jiang Ran continued to shout. Su Jin¡¯er sneered, ¡°What nonsense are you spouting? Your daughter was possessed by monsters because her skills weren¡¯t up to par. Are you suggesting that any problem around Mo Xiao is his fault?¡± ¡°By that logic, I suppose you also carry the burden of hundreds of lives on your shoulders, right?¡± ¡°You!¡± Hearing this, Jiang Ran almost spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Big brother¡­ It really isn¡¯t Mo Xiao¡¯s fault in this matter. Didn¡¯t Jiang He say it already? Mo Xiao tried to stop her, but she didn¡¯t listen¡­¡± Jiang Shan stepped forward to console him. ¡°Shut up!¡± He red fiercely at Jiang Shan, ¡°Is Jiang He still your niece or not? Can¡¯t you speak up for her?¡± ¡°Jiang Ran, calm down. Mo Xiao didn¡¯t do anything wrong¡­¡± Fang Chang, who had been silent, sighed and tried to persuade, ¡°Don¡¯t you remember what we promised the Mo family before?¡± H ii Jiang Ran¡¯s expression trembled slightly upon hearing this. Although he still appeared angry, he clenched his teeth and didn¡¯t say anything. Mo Xiao took a couple of steps forward, looking at the angry Jiang Ran, ¡°Since you think it¡¯s my fault, then I¡¯ll take responsibility for Jiang He¡¯s life.¡± ¡°Take responsibility? How can you take responsibility? Can you bring her back to life?¡± Jiang Ran¡¯s anger, which he had been struggling to contain, erupted again upon hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words. Su Jin¡¯er frowned as she saw this, ¡°Junior brother, don¡¯t mind him! It¡¯s not your fault!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t waste words on this. After this, I and the Jiang family have no further ties. 1 hope you won¡¯t bother me in the future, and I don¡¯t need your help either.¡± Mo Xiao said and casually tossed a small, green-glowing seed into Jiang Ran¡¯s hand. [Wood Spirit Seed: When used, it can resurrect a creature that died within thest hour.] ¡°A resurrection tool?!¡± As soon as he received the tool, Jiang Ran almost jumped up on the spot. Resurrection items were among the rarest things in this world. It was something that almost no one would give out except for Mo Xiao, this oddity. After all, who wouldn¡¯t want an extra chance at life for themselves or their loved ones? However, Mo Xiao already possessed multiple resurrection skills, so he didn¡¯t really value this item. ¡°From now on, I owe nothing to the Jiang family,¡± Mo Xiao said coldly. Jiang Ran ignored Mo Xiao and directly used the seed on Jiang He. Immediately, countless vines shot out from the seed, wrapping around her and putting her in a state of resurrection. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re quite something, possessing something this rare.¡± The Fire God looked surprised. Mo Xiao nced at the Fire God and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just something I got in the Wood Secret Realm. You should have it too, right?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t remember. This level 20 mystic realm is just an outing for me.¡± The Fire God shrugged and then looked at Fang Chang beside him. ¡°City Lord Fang, is the matter resolved now?¡± ¡°Yes, if this resurrection works¡­¡± Fang Chang looked at Jiang Ran and said. The Fire God nodded and said, ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll take Mo Xiao away first. After I¡¯m resurrected, tell the Jiang family not to cause any more trouble. If they do anything to me, their disciple, I¡¯ll make sure that the Jiang family can¡¯t stay in any of the base cities.¡± ¡°Kid, let¡¯s go to your house and have a good chat.¡± As he spoke, the Fire God waved at Mo Xiao and walked out of the office. Seeing this, Mo Xiao nced at Fang Chang and could not be bothered to say anything else. Following closely behind the Fire God, he left the City Lord¡¯s Residence directly. Su Jin¡¯er naturally followed the two of them and left together. Watching them leave, Fang Chang sighed, ¡°What kind of mess is this¡­¡± ¡°But, boss, shouldn¡¯t we tell Mo Xiao about the Mo family¡¯s situation?¡± Jiang Shan asked with concern. Fang Chang shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s better not to. With his temperament, if he really knew that his parents died because of us¡­ who knows what might happen.¡± ¡°¡­¡± When Jiang Shan heard this, he fell silent for a moment. Fie seemed to have different thoughts in his mind. About 10 minutester, inside the office, the vines wrapped around Jiang He suddenly glowed with green light. The vines burst apart, and Jiang He slowly opened her eyes, looking around in confusion. She seemed to have no idea what had happened. ¡°What¡­ What happened to me?¡± Meanwhile, at Mo Xiao¡¯s home, the Fire God looked around with a disgusted expression at the living environment. He was clearly very dissatisfied: ¡°You¡¯re living in such a dump, kid?¡± Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°I¡¯m an orphan. I can¡¯t expect to live in a good ce.¡± Hearing this, the Fire God fell silent for a moment, then said, ¡°Kid, be my disciple. I¡¯ll give you a house a hundred times bigger than this!¡± ¡°Hey hey hey! Yan Zhan Tian! Can¡¯t you go three sentences without trying to steal my disciple? He¡¯s my junior brother!¡± Su Jin¡¯er didn¡¯t care whether this was the Fire God or not this time. She just called him by his name. Yan Zhantian looked at Su Jin¡¯er somewhat speechlessly and said, ¡°Your personality, if only you had one-tenth of your master¡¯s gentleness! You¡¯d have a hard time getting married!¡± ¡°Mind your own business! I have my junior brother, and that¡¯s enough for me!¡± Su Jin¡¯er retorted without hesitation. Yan Zhantian could not be bothered with Su Jin¡¯er. He turned to Mo Xiao and said, ¡°You heard it just now. I¡¯m one of the three current War Gods, Fire God Yan Zhantian. IVIy profession is the controller of fire.¡± ¡°It¡¯s much more powerful than that Archmage-¡° Chapter 116 - 116: Rules of the Siege Battle Chapter 116: Rules of the Siege Battle Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Are you kidding? How could you be as formidable as my master?¡± Hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er retorted angrily again. ¡°¡­¡± Yan Zhantian¡¯s eyes twitched slightly and he said helplessly, ¡°1 say, as a youngdy, can¡¯t you keep your voice down a bit?¡± ¡°No!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said in a very displeased manner, ¡°Mo Xiao, don¡¯t let him deceive you! The strengths of the three War Gods are rtively equal, they just excel in different domains!¡± Listening to their conversation, Mo Xiao was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Senior Yan, 1 don¡¯t have the intention of bing a disciple yet. How about this? There¡¯s still one and a half months before the college entrance examinations begin. ¡°We¡¯ll talk about who to acknowledge as master after the college entrance examination. How about that?¡± Mo Xiao said seriously. Hearing this, Yan Zhantian raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°It seems like you¡¯re trying to negotiate for a better deal.¡± ¡°Well, since there are peoplepeting, naturally, you have topare the goods from multiple sources. If you can also get the other War God on board, that would be even better.¡± Mo Xiao grinned. Yan Zhantian was momentarily stunned by Mo Xiao¡¯s words and then burst intoughter, ¡°You¡¯re quite the shrewd one! But the Sword God won¡¯te back.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Mo Xiao waspletely unaware of the human forces in this world and had no idea about the circumstances of the three War Gods. ¡°He used a special skill to seal himself along with the Demon King in a unique space. Only when one of them dies can the othere out, or the Sword God actively lifts this skill. So, for a short time, we won¡¯t be seeing him,¡± Yan Zhantian exined truthfully. Clearly, this wasn¡¯t much of a secret for them. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully and then asked with some confusion, ¡°But¡­ now that one of the three War Gods is missing, how can you still be rxing here?¡± ¡°Well, don¡¯t we have the Divine Mage holding the fort? If anything goes wrong, she¡¯ll notify me immediately. Besides, the three War Gods refer to the War Gods of our Dragon Country. Other countries are watching as well, so there shouldn¡¯t be a big problem,¡± Yan Zhantian said calmly. ¡°Furthermore! If one War God is missing, the Demon King is also missing! The pressure has lessened; it¡¯s not a big issue!¡± With that, Yan Zhantian plopped himself down on the only chair in Mo Xiao¡¯s house, ¡°Since you¡¯re not interested in bing my apprentice for now, let¡¯s forget about it. Decide after the college entrance exams.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± ¡°As your senior, I¡¯ll give you a gift.¡± Yan Zhantian extended his right hand, and a blue skill book fell directly into Mo Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± [You have obtained a blue skill book, Spirit Gathering Technique.] [Spirit Gathering Technique: When you enter a cultivation state in nonbat states, you can obtain 10 experience points per minute.] ¡°!!!¡± Seeing this skill, Mo Xiao widened his eyes in an instant. A skill that grants experience points without having to fight monsters?! He did not expect such a skill to exist in this world! ¡°Although you only get 10 experience points per minute, after umting it for a certain period of time, it will be a huge number.¡± Yan Zhantian smiled and said, ¡°Work hard! I hope you can be the fourth War God of our Dragon Country!¡± With that, Yan Zhantian patted Mo Xiao¡¯s shoulder heavily and then transformed into a burst of mes and disappeared. [You¡¯ve received a hearty pat from Yan Zhantian. The innate fire elemental transformation has been replicated!] ¡°What the hell?!¡± Hearing this information, Mo Xiao was stunned and quickly checked this new talent. [Fire Elemental Transformation: The exclusive talent of the Fire Controller. After using it, your body canpletely turn into mes! This state ignores all physical attacks! Duration: 30 seconds. CD: 5 minutes.] Just as Mo Xiao was excited about this fire elemental transformation, Su Jin¡¯er also felt a little uneasy and hurriedly asked, ¡°Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve been bribed by his Spirit Gathering Technique! ¡°Although this skill book isn¡¯t easy toe by, there are still many of them!¡± Su Jiner said quickly, ¡°Since this is a gift for meeting you, how about 1 give myself to you?¡± ¡°Repeating the same joke too many times makes it less funny¡­¡± Hearing Su Jiner¡¯s words, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes and press his temples. Su Jiner looked flirtatious, ¡°I¡¯m not joking, you know-¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Mo Xiao hastily interrupted Su Jiner, fearing she might take the teasing too far, ¡°You¡¯ve already helped me a lot. 1 don¡¯t need any more gifts.¡± ¡°Then you should be my junior brother, right?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked excitedly. After a moment of silence, Mo Xiao smiled and said, ¡°That depends on who gives more benefits when the timees.¡± ¡°You brat!¡± Su Jin¡¯er scolded with a smile. Then, she said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop fooling around. After letting Jiang He and the others cause such a ruckus, we almost forgot about the serious matter.¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er mention this, Mo Xiao finally reacted. That¡¯s right. The monster horde project is about to begin. We need to inform Lord Fang Chang quickly. ¡°Will Senior Yan intervene?¡± Mo Xiao suddenly asked. Su Jin¡¯er shook her head and said, ¡°No, I can¡¯t either.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Mo Xiao asked in confusion. ¡°The siege battle is waged ording to thews of heaven. It¡¯s not just a regr siege; it involves considering a certain bnce inbat. I might not even be able to intervene,¡± Su Jiner exined seriously. ¡°If the Fire God intervenes, the monsters will send a Demon King of equivalent strength. Once the Demon King appears, it can summon countless level 70 or 80 monsters to attack the city. With the power of Yicheng Base City, we won¡¯t be able to withstand that. ¡°If I intervene, there might also be someone at my level and ss to counteract it. However, my strength far exceeds my level, and I¡¯m equivalent to an entire army. In a sense, my participation could be advantageous, but the specifics depend on the situation at the time,¡± Su Jiner borated. Hearing this, Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully, ¡°I see¡­¡± ¡°But there¡¯s no rush. If a siege battle really does happen, the City Lord will receive a system prompt two or three days in advance. We can take a break for now,¡± Su Jin¡¯er suggested, and without further ado, shey down on Mo Xiao¡¯s bed. ¡°Your bed is quite hard. You shouldn¡¯t be short on money now. Why not change your residence?¡± ¡°No time.¡± Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin¡¯er lying on the bed and blushed. He quickly sat on a chair, turning away from her gaze, avoiding eye contact. At the same time, he took out the Spirit Gathering Technique book and quietly rubbed it. [You rubbed against the Spirit Gathering Technique, and it evolved into the Spirit Condensation Technique!] [You rubbed against the Spirit Condensation Technique and it evolved into the Heavenly Essence Technique!] [Heavenly Essence Technique (Red): Absorbs heaven and earth essence energy to strengthen your body!

Anxious Fang Chang Chapter 117: Level 3 Battle Map! Anxious Fang Chang Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°So, you went to all this trouble to bring me here just to see if she¡¯s a human or a monster?¡± In the City Lord¡¯s Residence, Su Jin¡¯er looked at the Jiang family with a strange expression, her eyes filled with reluctance. Seeing this, Fang Chang quickly said, ¡°Miss Su, we had no other choice. We couldn¡¯t find Lord Fire God, so we had toe to you.¡± Upon hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s voice, Jiang Fie also looked up with a somewhat deste expression, then turned to Su Jin¡¯er and said, ¡°Thank you for your trouble, Miss Su. I don¡¯t even know if I¡¯m a human or a monster.¡± Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er nced at the dejected Jiang He and calmly stated, ¡°She¡¯s a human. There¡¯s no trace of a monster¡¯s soul within her. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Really?¡± As soon as Su Jin¡¯er said this, before Jiang He could react, Jiang Shan, who was beside her, instantly jumped up, his face filled with excitement. ¡°Yes, I won¡¯t dwell on it. Jiang family, repay what you owe to Mo Xiao, and don¡¯t bother him anymore. That¡¯s enough,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said calmly. Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, the expressions on Jiang Ran and Jiang Shan¡¯s faces suddenly changed, and they became nervous. ¡°What do we owe Mo Xiao? We don¡¯t, do we?¡± ¡°Do you really think you could just take that resurrection item for free? It¡¯s a matter of life! Mo Xiao is young and doesn¡¯t understand the importance of the resurrection item. As his future senior sister, I have to help him a little.¡± Su Jin¡¯er said coldly. Upon hearing this, Jiang Rail¡¯s previously furrowed brows rxed. ¡°I see. That¡¯s how it is. We were indeed wrong in this matter. We might not be able to obtain a second resurrection item, but we¡¯ll do our best topensate him.¡± Although Su Jin¡¯er was a bit puzzled by Jiang Rail¡¯s change in attitude, she didn¡¯t inquire further. She simply said directly, ¡°As long as you know. Mo Xiao is a solo yer. If possible, provide him with more skill books. I¡¯m leaving now.¡± With that, Su Jin¡¯er paid no more attention to them and turned to leave the City Lord Residence. Seeing Su Jin¡¯er leave, Jiang Ran and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang He came back to life, and Su Jin¡¯er did not cause any trouble. This was already a very good oue. ¡°Dad, Uncle¡­¡± Just as the two of them rxed, Jiang He suddenly looked at them and asked, ¡°Did you really do something to offend Mo Xiao?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we definitely didn¡¯t do anything to offend Mo Xiao or harm him. Don¡¯t overthink it. Let¡¯s go back home for now. You need some rest.¡± Jiang Rail¡¯s gaze flickered slightly, indicating he had something on his mind. Looking at Jiang Ran in front of her, Jiang He remained silent for a moment, then nodded gently. She didn¡¯t say anything more and left the City Lord¡¯s Residence with Jiang Ran. Watching the three of them leave, Fang Chang heaved a sigh of relief and plopped back onto his seat, saying, ¡°Thank goodness nothing major happened. They really gave me a scare-¡± Just as Fang Chang was sighing, a system alert suddenly rang in his mind. [Warning! A Level three siege battle willmence in three days! City Lord, please be prepared!] ¡°What?!¡± Hearing this alert, Fang Chang shot up from his seat, his face filled with disbelief. A siege battle?! Weren¡¯t those monsters dealt with earlier? Flow can there still be a siege battle? And it¡¯s level three!!! What are they trying to do! Siege battles were divided into five levels, corresponding to the five stages of human upations. Level one corresponded to novices who hadn¡¯t undergone an upation change, with monsters ranging from level 1 to 20. Level two was for second-tier professionals, and so on. Level three was a battle led by creaturesparable to third-tier upation holders. The strongest monsters could even reach level seventy-nine! These were terrifying battles that even city lords like them could participate in! The city of Yicheng was just a small city. Why would it face such a horrifying battle? Even with Su Jin¡¯er, they couldn¡¯t handle this level ofbat! ¡°Three days¡­ 1 need to call for reinforcements quickly.¡± Fang Chang didn¡¯t have time to think, immediately opened his contact list, and started dialing one number after another. Ten minutester. ¡°What?! Your city is having a siege battle too?!¡± Fang Chang had already dialed the other city lords¡¯ numbers 10 times, but without exception, their cities were preparing for a siege battle. Unlike Yicheng, the siege battles in other ces were only level one, suitable for training neers. They weren¡¯t worried. However, once they received the battle preparation information, the city¡¯s advanced professionals automatically epted the battle. Even if they wanted to help another city, they couldn¡¯t. They had to wait until their own battle was over. Unless they were already in the city that needed help, like Su Jin¡¯er. Fang Chang hung up and his expression turned grave. From the looks of it, the monsters were definitely going to take down Yicheng Base City in this siege battle¡­ Fang Chang pondered for a while, then opened hismunication panel again. ¡°Hello, Mo Xiao. Can you tell me where Miss Su is?¡± ¡°Senior Sister? She¡¯s at my ce. Is something the matter?¡± Hearing Fang Chang¡¯s somewhat flustered tone, Mo Xiao asked in confusion. ¡°If she¡¯s with you, don¡¯t let her leave. 1¡¯11 be there soon!¡± Fang Chang hung up and rushed towards Mo Xiao¡¯s rental house. At this point, it wasn¡¯t about dignity or status anymore. Fang Chang was now afraid that Su Jin¡¯er would leave Yicheng City. If that happened, they would be in serious trouble. Yicheng City had only five third-tier professionals, including him. If they were to face a group of level 79 bosses, they wouldn¡¯t stand a chance! Meanwhile, inside Mo Xiao¡¯s rental house. ¡°Xiao Xiao, who¡¯s looking for me?¡± Su Jin¡¯ery on Mo Xiao¡¯s bed in an incredibly leisurely manner, holding a bag of potato chips and calmly munching away. ¡°City Lord Fang, he sounded quite anxious,¡± Mo Xiao said truthfully as he nced at Su Jin¡¯er. Su Jin¡¯er clicked her fingers, thinking, ¡°If he¡¯s that anxious, he probably received the siege battle notification. Given his level, if he¡¯s panicking, then the battle¡¯s level must be high.¡± ¡°Siege battles have levels too?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. ¡°They do. It¡¯s not hard to understand. It¡¯s linked to our upations.¡± Su Jin¡¯er swiftly exined the concept of siege battle levels to 2M0 Xiao, saying, ¡°Fang Chang is level 78, the highest level in Yicheng City.¡± ¡°While he¡¯s high level, just like me, he¡¯s a third-tier professional. If even he¡¯s panicking, the battle¡¯s level is probably not low. It¡¯s likely to be level three.¡± ¡°Could it exceed level three?¡± Mo Xiao inquired further. Shaking her head, Su Jin¡¯er exined, ¡°No, if it exceeded level three, there¡¯d be no point in asking me for help. Yicheng City would be doomed. Alternatively, they could call on Yan Zhantian to elevate the battle to level five..¡± Chapter 118 - 118: Give Mo Xiao the Command Authority Chapter 118: Give Mo Xiao the Command Authority Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°I see¡­¡± Hearing Su Jiner¡¯s exnation, Mo Xiao gained some understanding: ¡°But since the fourth-level and fifth-level batties can directly destroy our base city, why don¡¯t theyunch higher-level battles?¡± Upon hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s question, Su Jin¡¯er raised her eyebrows slightly and said, ¡°I¡¯m not very clear about the specifics, but 1 know that initiating these battles also requires a certain cost for the Demon n. It¡¯s not as simple asunching them.¡± ¡°Moreover, on the Tianyuan Battlefield, most of the Demon n¡¯s forces have already been restrained by our human professionals, so it¡¯s difficult for them to umte enough power tounch battles.¡± Su Jin¡¯er said calmly. Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, ¡°You mentioned that the demon race can be resurrected indefinitely, right? Shouldn¡¯t their numbers be endless or even increasing?¡± ¡°Well, it¡¯s true that they can be resurrected directly, but this resurrection takes time. The stronger the individual, the longer the resurrection time. For example, their Demon King takes a whole year to resurrect after death. ¡°Also, the lineage of demons associated with him bes weaker due to his death. You could say that if the Demon King dies once, it¡¯s an unbearable blow for their demon n. Su Jin¡¯er continued, ¡°When human professionals first started appearing, the demon race was relentless in their attacks, trying to directly wipe out our human race. Later, one by one, the War Gods appeared and pushed them back. ¡°After so many years, the demons have learned from us humans and started employing tactics.¡± Listening to Su Jin er¡¯s words, Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment, ¡°The battlefield between the demons and Tianyuan¡­¡± Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, Su Jin¡¯er grinned and said, ¡°Why? Do you want to go to the Tianyuan Battlefield too?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ 1 think so.¡± Mo Xiao nodded slightly. Su Jin¡¯er chuckled and said, ¡°Your level is still too low right now. Wait until you¡¯re at the second transition, and then I¡¯ll take you to the Tianyuan Battlefield.¡± ¡°I¡¯m almost Level 25, so my level shouldn¡¯t be low, right? Wasn¡¯t that Tu Feiding guy already in the Tianyuan Battlefield at level 30?¡± Mo Xiao frowned. When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she shook her head and said, ¡°lie was just there to pass the time. If you want to achieve results and military merits, it¡¯s better to have a higher level before going.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t level up on the battlefield?¡± Mo Xiao asked in confusion. Su Jin¡¯er nodded slightly, ¡°That¡¯s right, the experience from all the monsters inside the Tianyuan Battlefield is only 50% of what you¡¯d get outside. Over-leveling your opponents won¡¯t yield extra experience. But once your level surpasses the enemy¡¯s by one level, their experience will diminish significantly. It¡¯s a ce very unfriendly to humans.¡± ¡°Why was the battlefield ced there then?¡± Mo Xiao asked, puzzled. With a sigh, Su Jin¡¯er said, ¡°It¡¯s not that we wanted to choose that ce, but we re protecting something very important to our human race there. The existence of the Hero Hall is to safeguard that. ¡°If that something gets damaged, we ll be greatly impacted, so we have no choice but to guard that location.¡± ¡°What is this thing? Why is it so important?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. Su Jin¡¯er looked deeply at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°I can¡¯t tell you now. Once you¡¯ve earned a certain amount of military merit, you¡¯ll know.¡± (1 absolutely won¡¯t tell you that 1 haven¡¯t figured it out yet!) Just as Mo Xiao was lost in thought, a hurried knocking suddenly echoed through the door. Mo Xiao quickly opened the door and saw Fang Chang standing anxiously outside. As soon as the door opened. Fang Chang rushed in and turned to Su Jin¡¯er, saying, ¡°Miss Su! Please help our Yicheng Base City! It¡¯s a Level 3 battle, and we need your assistance!¡± Su Jin¡¯er remained calm upon hearing this. ¡°It¡¯s just a Level 3 battle. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here to help.¡± ¡°Really¡­ How did you know?¡± Fang Chang was surprised. How did Su Jin¡¯er find out? ¡°Since you came to me for help, it means that 1 can assist. If it were a Level 2 battle, a few of you would be enough. For Level 4 or 5 battles, you¡¯d have to go to Yan Zhantian.¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled faintly. ¡°So rest assured, 1 won¡¯t be childish about this matter. I¡¯ll fully support you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great, thank you so much!¡± Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief upon Su Jin er¡¯s promise. Looking at Fang Chang¡¯s expression, Su Jin¡¯er chuckled. ¡°And there¡¯s more in this room who can help you, not just me.¡± ¡°You mean Mo Xiao?¡± Hearing this, Fang Chang looked at Mo Xiao with some confusion. Su Jin¡¯er said with a mysterious tone, ¡°When you were controlled by the Moon Demon, did you have any memories?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± As soon as he said that, Fang Chang reacted. ¡°Yes¡­¡± Fang Chang began to realize, yes, Mo Xiao almost killed him! Although he was under the control of the Moon Demon at that time, his attributes andbat power were there, and there was a powerful realm suppression. Yet, this kid Mo Xiao managed to bridge such a huge gap and fight against him. That wasn¡¯t the strength expected of someone at level 20- something! ¡°His difficulty in dealing with you was due to the realm suppression, but that¡¯s not the case when dealing with monsters. Given his damage and resilience, there¡¯s no problem for him to handle monsters of level 60 or 70.¡± Su Jin¡¯er grinned. Fang Chang opened his mouth, unsure of what to say for a moment. After all, there really seemed to be no problem with Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s statement, but since she said it like this, there must be some underlying requirement. ¡°I understand. Miss Su, just let me know if you have any requests.¡± Fang Chang smiled wryly. Su Jin¡¯er smiled in satisfaction. ¡°You¡¯re quite cooperative! I don¡¯t have any other requests. Just give Mo Xiao themand authority for a city gate.¡± ¡°Command authority? Isn¡¯t that inappropriate? Command authority is usually reserved for third-transition professionals like us¡­¡± Fang Chang¡¯s words were cut off as he noticed Su Jin er¡¯s expression turning ice-cold in an instant. ¡°Alright¡­ alright, I ll give him mymand authority, and I¡¯ll go somewhere else.¡± Hearing Fang Chang¡¯s response, Su Jin er nodded in approval. ¡°Exactly, by the way, if possible, arrange a better ce for my junior brother. This ce is just too run-down.¡± Fang Chang looked at the shabby environment and scratched his head in embarrassment, nodding repeatedly. ¡°No problem, no problem. I ll handle it immediately.¡± After thanking him, Fang Chang did not stay any longer. He turned around and left the shabby rental room to arrange a new ce for Mo Xiao. ¡°Sister, what¡¯s thismand authority thing for? What¡¯s its use?¡± Chapter 119 - 119: Benefits of a Commander Chapter 119: Benefits of a Commander Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Senior Sister, what¡¯s thatmand you mentioned?¡± After Fang Chang left, Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin¡¯er and asked in confusion. Although Mo Xiao was very strong now, he really didn¡¯t know anything about the base city. ¡°Commander¡¯s authority is just that, after obtaining it, once the battle starts, all the participants at the gate you¡¯re stationed at must follow yourmand. It¡¯s that simple,¡± Su finer said casually. Listening to this exnation, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression became somewhat odd, clearly not fully believing Su Jiner¡¯s words. ¡°I don¡¯t even know how tomand. It¡¯s not good to give me this kind ofmand, is it? Or does thismand have some other benefits?¡± Seeing that Mo Xiao had already guessed it, Su Jin¡¯er did not hide it anymore and said, ¡°After the siege battle begins, the rules for killing monsters will change. ¡°The rules will directly be the rules of the Tianyuan Battlefield. The monsters you kill will no longer drop anything, and even your experience will decrease by 50%.¡± ¡°What? That¡¯s disgusting!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened, greatly puzzled by why it would be so unpleasant. ¡°I also want to know why it¡¯s like this, but it¡¯s not something we can control. After all, this world isn¡¯t very friendly to us humans,¡± Su Jiner sighed lightly and continued, ¡°Of course, this battle intent and the Tianyuan Battlefield aren¡¯t entirely without benefits.¡± ¡°After the battle starts, every small monster you kill will earn you a certain amount of merit points.¡± ¡°Merit points? You¡¯ve mentioned that a few times. What are they used for?¡± Mo Xiao continued to ask. ¡°The simplest use is to exchange them for special items. Anything avable in this world can be obtained through merit points,¡± Su Jiner exined further, ¡°Aside from exchanges, they¡¯re also used to assess your military achievements. For instance, my Three-Star General title required a million merit points.¡± ¡°As for the other usages, you¡¯ll know them when you get to the Hero Hall.¡± ¡°A million merit points¡­¡± Mo Xiao mused for a moment upon hearing this, nodding slightly, lost in thought. Seeing Mo Xiao lost in thought, Su Jiner chuckled, ¡°Are you already thinking about how to umte merit points so quickly?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, thismander¡¯s authority is linked to merit points.¡± Mo Xiao was taken aback: ¡°Linked to themander¡¯s authority?¡± ¡°Yes, amander can obtain ten percent of the merit points earned by everyone in theirmanded battle zone. While the number might not be very high, for a new recruit, it¡¯s not a small figure,¡± Su Jiner grinned. ¡°Moreover, the main point is that this is an additional bonus. The more monsters you kill, the greater this bonus bes.¡± ¡°Can the merit points 1 earn from killing monsters count?¡± Mo Xiao asked in surprise. Su Jiner nodded, saying, ¡°That¡¯s right. So, I¡¯ve secured this opportunity for you. Whether you can make the most of it depends on you.¡± ¡°I understand. Thank you, Senior Sister,¡± Mo Xiao quickly thanked her. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be polite with me. I just hope that you won¡¯t let me down-¡± Half an hourter, in the City Lord¡¯s Residence. Fang Chang, Jiang Ran, and Jiang Shan sat quietly in the office, seemingly waiting for something. ¡°I say, big brother, what¡¯s Sister-inw busy with? Why hasn¡¯t she arrived yet?¡± Jiang Shan grew impatient after waiting for a while. Jiang Ran nced at Jiang Shan and said, ¡°Jiang He has encountered such a big matter. She must be consoling her daughter. We¡¯re waiting for¡­¡± Before Jiang Ran could finish speaking, the office door was kicked open, and a cold-looking woman walked in briskly, saying, ¡°Long wait, I¡¯m here.¡± The neer was none other than Jiang He¡¯s mother and the Hall Master of the Instance Dungeon, Fang Ting. Fang Chang looked at the woman before him and sighed helplessly, ¡°Sister, couldn¡¯t you have opened the door a bit more gently?¡± ¡°Nonsense aside, I¡¯m in a bad mood right now. Why did you urgently call me here?¡± Fang Ting coldly nced at Fang Chang and took a seat directly across from him. Looking at this domineering woman, Fang Chang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°We¡¯re looking for you this time because the monsters areunching a siege battle against our base city.¡± ¡°What?!¡± As soon as Fang Chang uttered these words, both Jiang Shan and Fang Ting stood up abruptly. ¡°What level of battle?¡± ¡°When did this happen?¡± Before Fang Chang could speak, both of them asked simultaneously. Fang Chang looked at the two of them, waved his hand, signaling for them to sit down, and then said, ¡°It¡¯s a Level 3 battle. We just received the notification. ording to the system prompt, it will start in three days.¡± ¡°Three days¡­ that should be enough,¡± Fang Ting remained silent for a moment before saying calmly. Fang Chang looked at them hesitantly for a moment and said, ¡°I have another thing to discuss¡­¡± Seeing Fang Chang¡¯s hesitating expression, Fang Ting¡¯s brow furrowed instantly, ¡°Is there more bad news?¡± ¡°Well¡­ I¡¯m nning to give up mymander¡¯s authority.¡± As soon as this was said, everyone¡¯s attention focused on Fang Chang: ¡°Give it up? Give it to whom?¡± ¡°Of course, to me.¡± Before Fang Chang could speak, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Miss Su, why are you here?¡± Looking at Su Jin¡¯er who suddenly entered the door, Fang Chang was also stunned. He did not expect Su Jin¡¯er toe straight for him. ¡°Of course I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯ll be difficult for you.¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled faintly and said, ¡°As a three-star general, 1 have the qualification to take on the role ofmander alongside you for the siege battle.¡± ¡°True, but aren¡¯t you nning to give themander¡¯s authority to Mo Xiao?¡± Hearing Fang Chang¡¯s words, Su Jiner¡¯s lips twitched slightly, then she said, ¡°My junior brother and 1 are guarding the same city gate. Is there any difference between him being themander or me?¡± Fang Ting looked at Su Jiner and said directly, ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing to help our Yicheng Base City, you can give themander¡¯s position to anyone. And if one isn¡¯t enough, I can also offer you mymander¡¯s position.¡± ¡°Rest assured, even if I¡¯m doing this to help my junior brother umte merit points, 1 will still make an effort to kill monsters.¡± Su Jiner smiled and continued, ¡°As for the secondmander¡¯s authority, I¡¯ll pass on that. If 1 also be amander, my junior brother¡¯s merit points might decrease significantly. ¡°Alright, since you all agree, 1 won¡¯t waste any more time here. Prepare yourselves well.¡± After saying that, Su Jiner turned around and left. However, she suddenly turned back, saying, ¡°By the way, I¡¯m curious, have you heard of someone named Mo Feng?¡± Hearing this name, everyone in the office was momentarily stunned. ¡°I don¡¯t want to meddle in your affairs, but I can¡¯t ignore my junior brother¡¯s situation.. I hope you all will act responsibly in some matters- Chapter 120 - 120: Untitled Chapter 120: Untitled Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Three dayster, in the dungeon hall. [You have passed the nightmare-level dungeon and obtained 100,000 experience points!] [Congrattions on reaching Level 14. All attributes increase by five points, and you have obtained 10 points to allocate freely.] As a familiar system notification sounded, Mo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. He had farmed dungeons day and night for three days and relied on the experience given by the Heavenly Essence Technique to finally reach Level 25. ¡°Give all the attribute points to Strength.¡± After saying that, Mo Xiao directly opened his character panel. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao HP: 20,350/20,350 Mana: 90,180/90,180 Level: LV25 (33/1,100,000) Profession: Solo yer Strength: 554 (+1,110) Agility: 335 (+6oo) Spirit: 244 ( + 3,620) Endurance: 240 ( + 800) Physique: 240 (+1,200) Looking at his terrifyingly powerful attribute panel, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips. It had only been half a month since he transmigrated. He did not expect his attributes to be so ridiculously powerful in just half a month. While Mo Xiao was immersed in his powerful attribute panel, he suddenly felt the ground shake violently. Before he could react, an ear-piercing rm instantly resounded throughout the city. [Warning! Warning! Beast tide outbreak! All residents are invited to enter the underground city! All residents are invited to enter the underground city!] [Warning! Warning! Beast tide outbreak! All residents are invited to enter the underground city! All residents are invited to enter the underground city!] [Warning! Warning! Beast tide outbreak! All residents are invited to enter the underground city! All residents are invited to enter the underground city!] [Warning! Warning! The siege battle has begun! All professionals, please go to the city square! All professionals, please go to the city square!] As a series of warnings sounded, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression instantly became serious. Without caring about the reactions of the people around him, he instantly activated Shadowless and disappeared. At this moment, in the city square. Fang Chang stood in the middle of the square with a serious expression and waited. The system notification had already sounded. There was only one hour left before the siege began. ¡°Old Fang, the city guards have already gathered. There are about a thousand of them,¡± Jiang Shan quickly walked in front of Fang Chang and said. ¡°Thebat professions have all gathered. There are less than 800 people in the base city. This is considered a batch of new students,¡± Fang Ting appeared behind Fang Chang and said indifferently. Jiang Ran also rushed over. ¡°The lifestyle professionals have also formed a support team and are ready to provide supplies at any time.¡± ¡°Only this little manpower?¡± Hearing their report, Fang Chang instantly frowned. ¡°Looks like you¡¯re all quite energetic-¡± At this moment, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s voice sounded beside them. ¡°Miss Su, you¡¯re here.¡± Fang Chang forced a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, numbers are not a problem. I can summon an army of tens of millions of people alone,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said very calmly. ¡°I¡¯ve never been afraid of anyone in a gang fight.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll thank Miss Su in advance.¡± Fang Chang smiled and looked around. ¡°Where¡¯s Mo Xiao? Is he not here yet?¡± ¡°Coming.¡± As soon as Fang Chang finished speaking, Mo Xiao appeared in front of everyone out of thin air. ¡°I also know the summoning technique. Although it¡¯s not as much as Senior Sister¡¯s summoning, it can still be useful.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk about thatter,¡± Fang Chang said, raising his hand. A holographic panel appeared directly in front of him. Fang Chang operated it briefly, and several beams of light flew to the pictures of Mo Xiao and the others. [You have been appointed as themander of the East City!] ¡°East City?¡± Mo Xiao muttered and looked in the direction of the East City, which was where they usually left the city. ¡°We have a total of about 1,800 professionals. Although there aren¡¯t many, they can still be useful.¡± Fang Chang looked at them and said, ¡°Mo Xiao, take care of the city¡­¡± ¡°I only need to bring ordinary professionals, 1 don¡¯t only know how to do it. It¡¯s a waste to bring powerful city guards,¡± Mo Xiao said lightly. ¡°¡­¡± Upon hearing this, Fang Chang subconsciously looked at Su Jin¡¯er. Seeing this, Su Jin¡¯er also said, ¡°Yes, just give us 400 ordinary professionals. After all, the city guards are your soldiers. It¡¯s easier for you tomand them.¡± Seeing Su Jin¡¯er say this, Fang Chang did not say anything else. He nodded and said, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll randomly assign 400 professionals to you.¡± ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and turned around to walk towards the east side of the city. Watching Mo Xiao leave, Jiang Shan frowned slightly and said worriedly, ¡°Is there a problem? Only bringing 400 professionals? Will that work?¡± ¡°With Su Jin¡¯er around, there will definitely be no problem. Compared to their side, I¡¯m more worried about our side¡­¡± Fang Chang sighed softly and said. ¡°After all, we really only have ordinary soldiers and ordinary professionals¡­¡± Yicheng Base City was a low-level base city, and the professionals who usually leveled up here were only around level 30. Professionals of this level had almost no chance of winning in a level-three battle. Only these 1,000 city guards had a certain level ofbat ability. Right now, they could only pray that Su Jin¡¯er could quickly deal with the monsters in the East City to support them. A few minutester, Mo Xiao stood on the East City gate and looked into the distance. He saw monsters of various forms standing there quietly. Some of them Mo Xiao had never even seen before, and it was obvious that they were very powerful. ¡°How is it? Are you afraid?¡± Su Jin¡¯er stood beside Mo Xiao and asked with a smile. Mo Xiao nced at her and said, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid, but I¡¯m not sure if I can withstand it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, even if you can¡¯t stop it, you still have me. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s best if you go to the other city gates to help. There are less than two thousand people in our city who can fight. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s useless to guard only one city gate,¡± Mo Xiao said faintly. Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao in surprise and smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, little guy. Although a Level 3 siege battle is not that simple, it¡¯s not as difficult as you think.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you trust me?¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled calmly. She gently raised her right hand, and in the next moment, a skeleton in a ck robe and holding a staff slowly appeared in front of Mo Xiao. ¡°This is my strongest summoned creature, the undead monarch. With him alone, he can protect the entire Yicheng Base City. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Listening to Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, Mo Xiao carefully sized up the undead monarch in front of him and subconsciously raised his hand to touch it. [You rubbed the undead monarch. Domain skill, undead domain has been replicated!] [Undead Domain: After the domain is activated, all creatures that die in the domain will be revived and be your soldiers!] Chapter 121 - 121: Trouble Is Still Here Chapter 121: Trouble Is Still Here Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Undead Domain?¡± Seeing this skill, Mo Xiao subconsciously muttered. ¡°Eh? You can actually see his skill?¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Su Jin¡¯er looked at him in surprise. Then she smiled proudly and said, ¡°This undead domain is one of the strongest skills of my summoned creature. It¡¯s also one of the core skills of my group battles.¡± ¡°Yes¡­ I can see that.¡± Mo Xiao nodded slightly. Just then, a noisy sound erupted from behind. Both of them turned their heads toward the sound and saw a group of professionals with different attire approaching quickly. ¡°It seems that our soldiers have arrived,¡± Mo Xiao said lightly. Su Jin¡¯er looked at these people and a trace of disdain shed in her expression, ¡°You better not count on them. This bunch of ragtag individuals will only bring you trouble.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then he asked curiously, ¡°If you think they¡¯re useless, why did you agree to let theme?¡± Su Jin¡¯er chuckled and said, ¡°Naturally, to avoid some unnecessary trouble.¡± ¡°Unnecessary trouble? Are you referring to Fang Chang?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. Su Jin¡¯er shrugged nomittally and said, ¡°If we don¡¯t bring these guys with us, Fang Chang will definitely be worried and nag. He might even send someone to keep an eye on us. Instead of going through so much trouble, why don¡¯t we just bring people over?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Mo Xiao nodded without saying anything else. At this moment, below the city tower, a group of professionals followed behind a youth excitedly. Evidently, this young man had be their leader. ¡°Boss, I heard that the Lord of the City is giving up the position ofmander this time. Is he going to appoint a newmander?¡± one of the young men asked curiously. The young man shook his head slightly and said, ¡°My father never tells me about these things. I don¡¯t know what arrangements he has.¡± The young man was none other than Fang Chang¡¯s son, Fang Chaoyang, who had crossed paths with Mo Xiao before. ¡°I heard that themand this time is to be given to an ordinary professional. Boss, you¡¯re City Lord Fang¡¯s biological son. Perhaps the position ofmander is yours!¡± Upon hearing this, Fang Chaoyang¡¯s face showed a glimmer of excited anticipation. Although he hadn¡¯t experienced such a siege battle before, he had heard Fang Chang mention some details about this battle in the past couple of days. Being already significantly stronger than his peers, he naturally wanted to showcase his abilities in this battle. Fang Chaoyang came to the city gate, looked up, and frowned. ¡°Mo Xiao?¡± Before Fang Chaoyang could react, the people behind him shouted, ¡°Hey! Who are you two?! Come down quickly! Our Brother Fang is here!¡± Mo Xiao and Su Jin¡¯er, who were observing the situation of the monsters refreshing on the city wall, turned their heads in confusion upon hearing the voices, ¡°Looks like trouble hase.¡± ¡°It seems so,¡± Su Jin¡¯er sighed helplessly, ¡°Let¡¯s go down and see.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Fang Chaoyang looked at Mo Xiao descending the stairs and his already furrowed brows tightened even more, ¡°Mo Xiao, what are you doing here?¡± Hearing Fang Chaoyang¡¯s voice, Mo Xiao nced at him and said, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°You!!!¡± ¡°Hey! Who are you, punk! You don¡¯t even recognize our Big Brother! He¡¯s the Young Master of the City Lord!¡± ¡°Young Master of the City Lord? Oh, is Fang something Yang right?¡± Hearing this name, Mo Xiao also reacted. This seemed to be Fang Chang¡¯s son. Previously, he had rubbed a Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul on him. But now, because of Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s presence, the Sword Emperor didn¡¯t dare to reveal himself. ¡°I am Fang Chaoyang¡­¡± Fang Chaoyang gritted his teeth and red at Mo Xiao before ignoring himpletely. He shifted his gaze to Su Jin¡¯er and said, ¡°Hello, beautiful, I¡¯m Fang Chaoyang. Are you also here for the battle? Join us, and when themander arrives, we can talk. You don¡¯t need to pay attention to this guy.¡± Hearing Fang Chaoyang¡¯s words, Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao and then at Fang Chaoyang. She then smiled and said, ¡°Themander you¡¯re talking about is right here.¡± ¡°Excuse me, even though I¡¯m the City Lord¡¯s son, the position ofmander is crucial. I¡¯m not certain it¡¯s mine,¡± Fang Chaoyang quickly exined politely upon hearing Su Jin¡¯er. But his words implied that the position was likely his. Fang Chaoyang¡¯s words made theckey beside him immediately chime in, ¡°Boss, don¡¯t be modest. Even if you weren¡¯t the City Lord¡¯s son, with your strength, you¡¯re more than qualified for themander position! After all, who can reach level 25 in just half a month! And at the second rank!¡± Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er looked at Fang Chaoyang with a peculiar expression and said, ¡°Did you misunderstand something? 1 was talking about Mo Xiao as themander-¡± This statement left Fang Chaoyang and hisckeys stunned. Seeing that they were about to retort, Mo Xiao opened his interface, and an illusionary panel appeared in front of everyone. It was a panel showing the participants from the East District. The names of all the people present were listed. And in the first row, it clearly stated, Commander: Mo Xiao. ¡°What a joke! Boss is so powerful! Why should you be themander?!¡± ¡°Exactly, exactly¡­¡± ¡°Stop.¡± Seeing that these people were about to open their mouths to rebuke Mo Xiao, Mo Xiao directly interrupted them. ¡°Since you¡¯re unwilling to let memand, then I won¡¯t. After all, you have your leader. Let him be yourmander.¡± ¡°Then hand over the position ofmander!¡± Mo Xiao looked coldly at the topckey and said directly, ¡°This position was given to me by Fang Chang. If you¡¯re not satisfied, you can go argue with him. Don¡¯t waste my time here.¡± When Su Jin¡¯er saw this, she chuckled and pulled Mo Xiao back to the city gate tower. Seeing Mo Xiao and Su Jin¡¯er leaving, Fang Chaoyang¡¯s expression changed repeatedly as he pondered something. ¡°Boss, should we go and reason with the City Lord?¡± ¡°What reason? This Mo Xiao and I have crossed paths. I¡¯m not his match. If I tell my dad, he¡¯ll at most scold me.¡± Fang Chaoyang sighed softly. ¡°Let it be. Besides, except for those two, the rest should follow mymand. When the battle begins, there will be plenty of opportunities for them to beg us.¡± ¡°That makes sense. Let¡¯s go up to the city tower and see the situation.¡± On the city tower, Mo Xiao looked at the Professionists running up the gate tower, his expression cold and unchanged. ¡°Poor ignorant people.. Mo Xiao, do you think we should tell them how terrifying this battle is?¡± Chapter 122 - 122: The Siege Battle Begins! Chapter 122: The Siege Battle Begins! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°There¡¯s no need. We¡¯re cannon fodder to begin with. We¡¯ll just prepare for battle ourselves.¡± Mo Xiao looked at the continuously appearing monsters in front of him with a vignt expression. At this moment, a burst of mes suddenly shot out from the other side of the city wall, heading straight for the location of the monsters. ¡°Damn monster! Eat my fireball! Die!¡± Before the fireball even reached the monsters, it seemed to crash into a wall and shattered, disappearing. Just then, Mo Xiao seemed to see an illusory barrier appearing around the base city. ¡°This is¡­ a barrier?¡± Looking at this illusory barrier, Mo Xiao frowned. Su Jin¡¯er followed Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze and exined, ¡°It¡¯s a kind of barrier, but more urately, it¡¯s the world¡¯s rules.¡± ¡°World rules?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin¡¯er with some confusion. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the power that turned our world into a game world,¡± Su Jin¡¯er exined. ¡°These monstersunched the so-called siege by relying on thews of this world. ¡°After the siege begins, thews of the world will surround our base city. Only monsters are allowed to enter and no creatures are allowed to leave. ¡°Only after the siege battle is over, thisw-based barrier will disappear, and at that time, we can move in and out normally. Not only that, but at the start of the siege battle, all teleportation abilities within the city will be disabled. ¡°Neither teleportation arrays nor teleportation scrolls can be used. Even instances will be closed, making it impossible for people to hide inside.¡± ¡°Once our defense fails, what awaits us is a massacre by monsters.¡± As she spoke, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s expression gradually darkened. ¡°My parents died in a failed city defense battle. I was saved by my master.¡± Listening to this, Mo Xiao fell silent too. ¡°We will be victorious.¡± ¡°Naturally,¡± Su Jin¡¯er quickly regained herposure, lifted her hand, and patted Mo Xiao¡¯s head, which was a head taller than her, with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with me here, that kind of situation won¡¯t happen again.¡± Feeling Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s touch, Mo Xiao¡¯s calm face turned slightly red. [Su Jin¡¯er gently patted you, and your heart raced like a deer. The skill ¡®Shared Life and Death¡¯ has been copied!] Shared Life and Death: Lock onto a target and forcefully lower the opponent¡¯s health to the same level as your own. If the opponent¡¯s health is lower than yours, the skill is ineffective. Cost: 5000 MP. Cooldown: 30 minutes. ¡°What an amazing skill!¡± Seeing this skill, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils contracted. Forcing the opponents health to synchronize with yours? Advanced bosses, aren¡¯t their health pools higher than one¡¯s own? And figuring out how to lower your own health to a drop and then hitting the boss directly, won¡¯t the boss be instantly defeated? Thinking about this, Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze toward Su Jin¡¯er became fervent. He hadn¡¯t expected her to have such a strong skill. Feeling Mo Xiao¡¯s intense gaze, Su Jin¡¯er slightly hesitated. Her face turned red, and she quickly took two steps back. ¡°Alright, hurry and get your items ready. The battle is about to begin!¡± Seeing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s retreat, Mo Xiao also coughed awkwardly and turned his head back to look at the group of monsters in the distance. Meanwhile, not far away, Fang Chaoyang watched the intimate interaction between the two not far away. He was grinding his teeth in frustration. In his mind, a stunning beauty like Su Jin¡¯er should naturally belong to someone like him, a peerless talent! Why should she be so close to a poor kid like Mo Xiao? If it weren¡¯t for not being able to beat Mo Xiao, he would definitely rush over and take Su Jin¡¯er away. Just as he pondered about what to do, a system notification suddenly sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. [Ding! Get ready! The siege battle is about to begin!] [Five!] [Four!] [Three!] [Two!] [One!] [Siege battle begins!] With the sound of the system notification, the motionless monsters not far away seemed to awaken, quickly moving toward the direction of the city gate. Seeing these unfamiliar monsters, Mo Xiao directly used the Illusion Breaking Technique. [Breaker] Level: LV20 HP: 5,000/5,000 Strength: 150 Agility: 100 Spirit: 50 Endurance: 300 Physique: 200 City Attack: Use your body to forcefully ram into the city wall or enemies, dealing physical damage and having a chance to stun the target. Steel Armor: Increases your own defense level for a certain duration, reduces physical damage taken, and has a chance to reflect some damage back to the attacker. Brute Force Swing: Swing therge hammer in your hand, causing area-of-effect physical damage, sshing damage to surrounding units, and temporarily immobilizing them. Bloodfury Soul: When health is below 50%, enter a rage state, increase attack speed and power. Also gain a simple healing effect, recovering a certain amount of health per second for 10 seconds. ¡°City Attack?¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow when he saw this skill. This seemed to be a monster specialized in city attacks¡­ ¡°Even the weakest monsters are Level 20. Is this a Level 3 siege battle?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the professionals who were excitedly rushing towards the monsters not far away, his eyes filled with pity. It wasn¡¯t pity for their impending deaths, but rather for their overconfidence and ignorance. ¡°When should we take action?¡± Mo Xiao asked Su Jin¡¯er, who was standing still beside him. Su Jin¡¯er smiled faintly. ¡°No rush. These level 20 small fry can be killed with a single skill. Let theme closer slowly and kill them slowly to dy the appearance of the next wave of monsters.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and didn¡¯t say anything else. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯sck of reaction, Su Jin¡¯er curiously asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you think I¡¯m cruel? My decision is equivalent to letting that group of professionals die for no reason.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s fine. They¡¯re excessively self-confident and want to charge in, so it¡¯s not surprising they¡¯d end up like that,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, sheughed and said, ¡°That¡¯s a good idea. I like it. However, as a professional on the human side, 1 naturally won¡¯t watch them die for no reason.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin¡¯er curiously. In the next moment, Su Jin¡¯er extended the staff in her hand and said, ¡°Skeleton Warrior Summoning!¡± With Su Jin¡¯er¡¯smand, a hundred skeletons emerged from the ground, directly rushing toward the Breaker. ¡°I see.¡± Mo Xiao nodded slightly and immediately raised the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. ¡°Skeleton Lord Summoning!¡± Instantly, two Skeleton Lords appeared outside the city wall, apanied by numerous small Skeleton Warriors.. Chapter 123 - 123: Su Jin’er’s Doubts Chapter 123: Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s Doubts Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Huh? This is¡­ the summoning of the Skeleton Lords?¡± Looking at the two skeleton lords that appeared under the city wall, Su Jin¡¯er nced at Mo Xiao in surprise. Others might not know, but as a necromancer, she knew. The Skeleton Lord Summoning Technique was a superior recement for the Skeleton Soldier Summoning Technique, or rather, it evolved from the Skeleton Soldier Summoning Technique. After all, she also had summoning skills simr to Mo Xiao¡¯s. Looking at Mo Xiao, Su Jin¡¯er pondered for a moment, but in the end, she didn¡¯t voice her doubts. Su Jin¡¯er didn¡¯t think too much anymore. With a thought, she controlled all the skeletons to charge towards the shipbreakers. At this moment, outside the city, Fang Chaoyang raised his longsword high and roared, ¡°They¡¯re only level twenty! Nothing to fear! Charge at them!!!¡± ¡°Oh!!!¡± With a chorus of responses, nearly four hundred professionals charged towards the shipbreakers simultaneously. Although these monsters were only level 20, their numbers far exceeded the professionals guarding the city. The number of monsters was three to four times that of the Professionals. Since shipbreakers required several people to kill just one, the moment they shed, the professionals¡¯ formation was shattered. Seeing this scene, Fang Chaoyang was also stunned. Before he could act, a dozen or so shipbreakers surrounded him. Seeing the shipbreakers with murderous intent, Fang Chaoyang gritted his teeth and thought, ¡°Sword Emperor! If you don¡¯te out, I¡¯m going to die!¡± ¡°No, there¡¯s an existence with abnormal soul perception nearby. I¡¯ll be discovered as soon as I appear! You¡¯re on your own!¡± ¡°Sword Emperor? Sword Emperor!!! F*ck!! Are you really just going to watch me die here?!¡± However, no matter how Fang Chaoyang roared, the Sword Emperor did not respond. He was about to be struck by a shipbreaker¡¯s massive hammer. A huge skeleton suddenly appeared in front of him and took the blow for him. Then two shes came down, instantly killing the shipbreaker in front of him. The terrifying damage frightened Fang Chaoyang. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that it had killed the shipbreaker, Fang Chaoyang almost thought that this guy was some kind of boss. ¡°Skeleton Lord?¡± Fang Chaoyang gulped and cautiously looked at the massive Skeleton Lord. He had never seen such a powerful undead creature before. ¡°If you can¡¯t win, then get lost. Don¡¯t hinder us here.¡± At this moment, Mo Xiao¡¯s faint voice came from the mouth of the skeleton. ¡°Mo¡­ Mo Xiao?!¡± Hearing this voice, Fang Chaoyang¡¯s face was filled with shock. He could only see the name of the Skeleton Lord in front of him, but from the damage just now, he could tell that it was very strong. He really didn¡¯t expect this thing to be Mo Xiao¡¯s summon. Mo Xiao ignored Fang Chaoyang and controlled all the skeletons to charge at the shipbreakers again. [You killed a shipbreaker and received 1 experience point.] [You killed a shipbreaker and received 1 experience point.] ¡°Huh? Howe I only got one point of experience?¡± Looking at the system notifications that kept shing, Mo Xiao frowned slightly, not understanding. This was a level 20 monster. No matter how low the experience was, it should be a few hundred points. Wasn¡¯t this a little too ridiculous? Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, Su Jin¡¯er directly exined, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? Once the battle begins, this ce will be a battlefield, and the rules will be exactly the same as the Tianyuan Battlefield. ¡°As long as you exceed these monsters by one level, the experience you obtain will be forcefully reduced to one point. At the same time, the experience you obtain from killing them normally will only be 50%. This is the limitation on us humans.¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s exnation, Mo Xiao finally understood and could only nod helplessly. [Congrattions on killing 10 shipbreakers and obtaining 10 merit points!] At this moment, the system notification lit up again. Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, Su Jin¡¯er grinned and said, ¡°Did you obtain merit points?¡± ¡°Yeah, ten points. It seems each shipbreaker only gives one point,¡± Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°Of course, this is the lowest-level monster in the third-level battle. Naturally, the experience is low,¡± Su Jin¡¯er shrugged. ¡°Wait until the bigger guyse outter. That¡¯s where the high merit points are.¡± As Su Jin¡¯er spoke, she looked at the professionals who had sessfully retreated to the city wall under the protection of the skeletons. She continued, ¡°These guys havee back. Let the skeletons withdraw, and attack when they¡¯re almost at the city wall.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Mo Xiao nodded and casually drew out a longbow he hadn¡¯t used in a long time. Since they were targeting these monsters one by one, bows and arrows were the most convenient. As for magic, the cooldown might not be so fast since he didn¡¯t have a mage¡¯s basic attack skill. ¡°A nice bow you¡¯ve got there-¡± Looking at the longbow in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand, Su Jin¡¯er praised thoughtfully, ¡°It seems like all your weapons are of high level. Do you really have such good luck?¡± Mo Xiao said very casually, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s alright. I have an equipment that increases the drop rate. It might be because of that.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled and did not say anything else. On the other side, Fang Chaoyang sat on the city wall with a gloomy expression, lost in thought. ¡°Fang Chaoyang! Weren¡¯t you bragging about how awesome you are? You nearly got us killed, you know that, right?¡± Just then, Fang Chaoyang¡¯s topckey spoke up, his face full of anger as he confronted Fang Chaoyang. ¡°That¡¯s right! You¡¯re so great, and yet you almost got us killed!¡± ¡°Just because you¡¯re the city lord¡¯s son doesn¡¯t mean you can treat our lives as nothing!¡± ¡°Oh! 1 remember now, that person over there is Mo Xiao! The super genius who killed elite monsters in one hit when he was level 5!!¡± ¡°What?! It¡¯s actually Brother Xiao!! Damn it! Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier! Almost missed a big opportunity to follow him!¡± The group ofckeys chatted away and ran towards Mo Xiao. ¡°Ah- Looks like they¡¯reing to join us. What are you going to do?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked with a smile as she looked at the group of professionals rushing towards them. ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao nced at the group in silence for a moment and said, ¡°Get lost, one step closer and I¡¯ll kick each of you down to feed the monsters.¡± Hearing this, the people who were nning to butter him up andtch onto his support halted their steps. ¡°Brother Xiao, we were just fools not to recognize you. Please forgive us and take us along, okay?¡± ¡°Enough with the nonsense. Either don¡¯t disturb me or stay here and defend the city. Your choice,¡± Mo Xiao said coldly. Upon hearing this, some of the people retorted, ¡°You¡¯re themander! Who are you to ignore us?¡± ¡­¡± At that, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow. ¡°Fine, I¡¯m ordering you all to stay here and not move!¡± Chapter 124 - 124: Twelve Rounds of Attack and Defense Battle Chapter 124: Twelve Rounds of Attack and Defense Battle Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°I¡¯m ordering all of you to stay here and not move.¡± Mo Xiao looked at the group of chattering professionals in front of him and had no intention of dealing with them. ¡°What?! We are all professionals! Why do you have the right to stop us from acting?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! What if our base city gets breached because you stopped us from taking action?¡± Listening to the cacophony of voices, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression grew colder. He directly shouted, ¡°Shut up! ¡°Since you don¡¯t obey, you can just not listen and go fight on your own. I don¡¯t want to bother with you.¡± Mo Xiao coldly said, ¡°But if you die, don¡¯t me me. Dying due to disobedience is none of my concern. ¡°That¡¯s all I have to say. Whether you want to die or live, it¡¯s up to you.¡± After saying that, Mo Xiao paid no attention to their reactions. He turned and went back to Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s side, saying, ¡°How about we go down and guard? It might be annoying staying here.¡± Su Jin¡¯er heard this and nced at the professionals, covering her mouth with a smile. ¡°The visibility might not be broad enough down there, and these guys might follow us. How about we go up to the sky?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Mo Xiao nodded. Without another word, he directly used the Flight Technique and soared into the air, steadily floating in midair. On the other hand, Su Jin¡¯er summoned the skeletal dragon again and rode on it to fly up. ¡°Control the altitude of the flight point. Don¡¯t exceed your attack range,¡± Su Jin¡¯er reminded Mo Xiao, who was flying high in the sky. Mo Xiao nodded and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t.¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s calm demeanor, Su Jin¡¯er smiled and controlled the skeletal dragon to slowly fly to Mo Xiao¡¯s side. ¡°There are a total of 10 rounds of minor monsters and two rounds of bosses in the siege battle. If we survive these 12 rounds of attacks, we¡¯ll consider the defense sessful. ¡°Each round of minor monster attackssts about 30 minutes. If you don¡¯t kill them all within 30 minutes, the next round of minor monsters will appear directly. They will attack the city alongside the previous round of monsters. However, if you kill them early, the next wave of monsters will appear immediately, even affecting the spawn rate of monsters in other parts of the city. ¡°That¡¯s why we usually leave one minor monster behind, lead it around in circles, and then go help in other parts of the city.¡± ¡°What about the boss?¡± Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully and asked. Su Jin¡¯er said, ¡°The boss¡¯s attack time is slightly shorter, usually 20 minutes. If the boss is not killed within 20 minutes, the minor monsters will also appear directly. But if the boss is present, the attributes of the appearing minor monsters will receive a significant boost. ¡°So, no matter what, the boss must be killed, or the difficulty of defending the city will greatly increase. Listening to Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s exnation, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°In short, just kill all the monsters, right?¡± ¡°Yes, if your strength is sufficient, killing all these monsters is enough.¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled as well. Indeed, this defense task was as simple as that. If your strength is enough, just eliminate all the monsters, and there won¡¯t be any problems.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Mo Xiao stopped wasting words and simply floated in mid-air, calmly watching the minor monsters below. With numerous summoned creatures at his disposal, even if some monsters approached the city gates, they would be instantly wiped out. He didn¡¯t need to worry about anything. Twenty-five minutester. [Warning, the first round of defense time has ended! The second round is about to begin! Please quickly defeat the remaining attacking soldiers!] ¡°Hmm?¡± Hearing this system alert, Mo Xiao furrowed his brow slightly. It had only been 25 minutes, why was the next round starting already? Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be half an hour? As if understanding what Mo Xiao was thinking, Su Jin¡¯er exined, ¡°It should be because all the monsters in the other three city districts have been killed, so the first round of defense ended early. Go ahead and kill thisst monster.¡± Mo Xiao nodded lightly. With a thought, the Skeleton Lord rushed directly to thest shipbreaker and shed out, directly ending its life. [Congrattions on killing thest shipbreaker and sessfullypleting the first round of the city defense battle! Reward: 100 merit points!] [The first round of siege is over! The second round of siege begins!] Without any dy, countless blue lights lit up at the edge of the barrier, and more majestic monsters instantly appeared on the battlefield. ¡°Illusion Breaking Technique!¡± [Shocking Beast] Level: LV35 HP: 8,000/8,000 Strength: 250 Agility: 150 Spirit: 100 Endurance: 500 Physique: 300 Skills: N/A (To save you fromining about me being verbose! Omitted!) ¡°Level 35 monsters right off the bat?¡± Mo Xiao scanned the monsters below and furrowed his brow slightly. Among this group of monsters, he even saw a few elite Infiltrators. The difficulty of this defense instantly doubled. ¡°Looks like the strength has increased quite a bit.¡± Su Jin¡¯er was still very calm. She looked at Mo Xiao with a smile and asked, ¡°Do you need my help?¡± Mo Xiao directly shook his head and said, ¡°Your skeletons are enough. I can still deal with this level of strength.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao raised the Four Symbols Heavy Sword again. The next moment, Su Jin¡¯er was dumbfounded. She saw an extremely familiar magic array appear in front of Mo Xiao. Then, a huge skeletal dragon materialized out of thin air right in front of Mo Xiao. ¡°Go!¡± Following Mo Xiao¡¯s order, the skeletal dragon instantly swooped down andunched an attack on the new monster. ¡°Skeletal Dragon Summoning¡­¡± Looking at the skill disyed by Mo Xiao, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡®This seems to be my skill too. This kid actually knows it too.¡¯ ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Feeling Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s gaze, Mo Xiao was slightly stunned and asked uneasily. Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°The Skeletal Dragon Summoning Technique is not a low-level undead skill. How did you learn this skill?¡± Seeing Su Jin¡¯er staring fixedly at him, Mo Xiao hurriedly turned his head and coughed dryly before saying, ¡°Ahem, 1 killed a Bronze-rank Bone Dragon Boss in the Deadman¡¯s Canyon. It dropped this skill book.¡± ¡°Oh, that boss, the Keeper of the Secret Realm.¡± Su Jin¡¯er nodded thoughtfully. ¡°That guy does have a chance to drop Skeletal Dragon Summoning. You really lucked out.¡± ¡°Ahaha, yeah¡­¡± Mo Xiaoughed awkwardly twice, not borating further. He stared intently at the monsters on the battlefield. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s nervousness, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s suspicions grew stronger. She felt like Mo Xiao might have some special ability. Even though she couldn¡¯t discern it, his skills and equipment were just too powerful. His luck couldn¡¯t be so good as to reach this level, could it? Chapter 125 - 125: Dragon Language Magic Chapter 125: Dragon Language Magic Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Two hourster. [Congrattions on killing thest besieger and sessfullypleting the fifth round of the city defense battle! Reward: 200 merit points!] As Mo Xiao killed thest monster with an arrow, the system prompt sounded in the ears of everyone in the East District. [Warning! The sixth siege is about to begin! Please be prepared!] [The sixth round of siege! Begin! The boss has appeared! Everyone, please be careful!] As the system notification sounded, a massive column of dark purple light, shimmering with an eerie glow, descended from the sky and crashed heavily onto the battlefield. In an instant, a gigantic dragon covered in dark purple scales appeared out of thin air before everyone. With a roar, a purple light wave instantly swept across the entire area, obliterating the skeletons and bone dragons that were still on the battlefield, reducing them to pieces under the impact of this light wave. What was once a battlefield with hundreds of skeletons was now reduced to just one bone dragon and two skeleton lords within a few breaths. ¡°You¡¯re telling me you just wiped out all the small skeletons?¡± Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao furrowed his brows, clearly understanding the immense power of this dragon. ¡°Senior Sister, is this the only boss we have, or is there one on all four sides?¡± Mo Xiao stared at the dragon in front of him and asked. When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she looked in other directions and said, ¡°There are bosses in all four directions, but judging from this situation, ours should be the strongest.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment before using the Illusion Breaking Technique again. [Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon, Bronze Rank Boss] Level: LV55 HP: 60,000/60,000 Strength: 10,000 Agility: 600 Spirit: 3,000 Endurance: 1,200 Physique: 3,500 Skills: Death Roar: Shocks yers with a thunderous roar, causing area damage and knocking back targets.

Additionally, it regains its own health and mana every second. Abyssal Suppression: Uses extremely powerful force to suppress the yer to the ground, preventing them from moving, attacking, and using skills.

At the same time, it will release a Soul Devour skill that ignores defense every 60 seconds. ¡°A level 55 Bronze-tier boss?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the attribute panel in front of him. His expression did not change, as if he did not take this boss seriously at all. Su Jin¡¯er looked at the demonic dragon in front of her, and for the first time, a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes. ¡°Although I¡¯ve only experienced a few level-three battles, it¡¯s indeed rare for the first boss to release a bronze-level dragon.¡± When Mo Xiao heard this, he did not say anything. Instead, he flew forward for a distance. Then, under Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s puzzled gaze, he opened his mouth and said a sentence that no one could understand. ¡°Demon Dragon, this isn¡¯t where you belong. Please leave!¡± After hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s voice, the originally iparably violent Demon Dragon instantly quieted down a little. Then it looked up at Mo Xiao in surprise, ¡°You can speak thenguage of our Dragon Race?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Demon Dragon, 1 don¡¯t want to be enemies with the Dragon n. Please leave quickly!¡± Mo Xiao continued. ¡°Never thought that after so many years, there would still be someone who can speak thenguage of dragons in this world!¡± The demon dragon gazed at Mo Xiao in amazement. ¡°Dragon speaker, although 1 should give you some face, this is a task given by the heavens, and 1 have toplete it! I can only apologize to you!¡± ¡°Then don¡¯t me me for not being polite!¡± ¡°Hahaha, if you can kill me, just do it!¡± The Demon Dragonughed loudly and rushed towards the base city without saying anything. H 11 Seeing this, Mo Xiao was about to rush over to stop it when an evenrger skeletal dragon appeared out of thin air in front of the Demon Dragon and stopped it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my Skeletal Dragon King is not weaker than Boss,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said very calmly. Mo Xiao was about to say something when Su Jin¡¯er stopped him, ¡°Mo Xiao, you seemed to be talking to this demonic dragon just now, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Seeing that Su Jin¡¯er had sensed it, Mo Xiao did not waste any time and said truthfully. When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, her eyes lit up slightly. ¡°You know dragonnguage? You¡¯re actually a Dragon Speaker?¡± Seeing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s excited look, Mo Xiao asked in confusion, ¡°What¡¯s a dragon speaker? Isn¡¯t dragonnguage only able tomunicate with dragons?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it written in your talent? Dragonnguage is the most specialnguage in the world. It can be used to cast dragon magic!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said excitedly. Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°1 know, but 1 don¡¯t know Dragon Magic. Isn¡¯t it difficult to learn?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Su Jin¡¯er was astonished by Mo Xiao¡¯s response and gave him an incredulous look. ¡°Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Any magic released through Dragonnguage is Dragon Magic, including summoning spells.¡± Su Jin¡¯er exined, ¡°You just need to speak the skills you know in Dragonnguage. These magic skills will then receive incredibly powerful enhancements and cause terrifying damage! ¡°Dragonnguage is thenguage that can trigger thews of this world the most. This is a talent that teachers dream of! 1 didn¡¯t expect you to have it, and you actually don¡¯t know how to use it. What a waste of natural resources!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said helplessly, ¡°Quick! Quickly use a dragonnguage magic spell for me to see!¡± ¡°Uh¡­ Oh¡­¡± Mo Xiao was momentarily surprised, although he didn¡¯t understand why Su Jin¡¯er was so excited. Nevertheless, he followed her instructions and gave it a try. ¡°Explosive Fireball! (Dragon Language)¡± With Mo Xiao¡¯s low shout, a massive fireball appeared instantly in his hand and quickly flew towards the Demon Dragon. As it flew towards the Demon Dragon, it swelled in size, growingrger andrger in the wind. In just a few breaths, it transformed into a huge fireball measuring five or six meters in diameter. The red mes turned blue. The next moment, the fireball crashed heavily onto the Demon Dragon. ¡°Roar!!!¡± With a deafening scream, a huge amount of damage instantly appeared on the Demon Dragon¡¯s head. -10,000! 10,000?! This was just an explosive fireball! If it were a more powerful skill¡­ That was unimaginable! Chapter 126 - 126: What? The First 11 Rounds Are So Simple? Chapter 126: What? The First 11 Rounds Are So Simple? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Looking at the boss with a significant portion of its health bar missing, Mo Xiao found it hard to believe. Dealing 10,000 damage with his Spirit attribute wasn¡¯t particrly difficult, but the fire magic he had used was just a medium-level one. With the enhancement of the Dragon Language, it could actually reach this level? Wasn¡¯t this a bit too exaggerated? Thinking about this, Mo Xiao remained somewhat skeptical. Fifteen secondster, he once again raised the Four Symbols Heavy Sword towards the Demon Dragon. Explosive fireball! Another fireball appeared at the tip of the sword and directly tore through the air, instantly bombarding the Demon Dragon¡¯s body. -2,000 ¡°The magic resistance of dragon-type creatures is very high. You managed to deal 2,000 damage with a regr explosive fireball? How high is your Spirit stat?¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao¡¯s attack with surprise. Mo Xiao, however, paid no attention to Su Jin¡¯er¡¯sment. His mind was filled with astonishment. He did not expect this skill to deal five times the damage under the enhancement of the Dragon Language Magic! And there were no release conditions or costs, not even a cooldown. Wasn¡¯t this Dragon Language ability a bit too powerful? Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s expression of disbelief, Su Jin¡¯er smiled slightly and said, ¡°Do you understand the strength of the Dragon Language ability now? It¡¯s one of the rarest talents. 1 didn¡¯t expect you to possess it. ¡°If you could acquire true Dragon magic, that would truly grant you earth-shattering power.¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, a glint of excitement shed in Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes. Then, he once again spoke the Dragon Language: ¡°Soul-Extinguishing ck me!¡± In an instant, a ball of pitch-ck mes instantly appeared in front of the Demon Dragon. Then it expanded rapidly and directly transformed into a terrifying dragon formed from mes, violently colliding with the Demon Dragon. -60,445! As the mes dissipated, the enormous Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon copsed, turning into specks of starlight that faded away. [Congrattions on killing the Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon and gaining 80,000 experience points!] [Congrattions on killing the sixth round boss and gaining 500 merit points!] [The sixth round of the attack has ended. Please wait for other districts to finish the battle.] ¡°Instant¡­ Instant kill?¡± Everyone present was stunned when they saw the Soul-devouring Demon Dragon fall to the ground. Even Su Jin¡¯er, who was at the side, could not believe it. Fast boss kills, she could manage. However, if he wanted to instantly kill the boss¡­ She couldn¡¯t do it. If she released all her summoned creatures, she could also instantly kill this demon dragon. Killing it in one move like Mo Xiao was definitely beyond her reach. ¡°Your offensive capabilities are bing more and more astounding,¡± Su Jin¡¯ermented, looking at Mo Xiao and sighing with emotion. Mo Xiao nced at her, then scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°Did I kill it too quickly? Will people from the other districts be overwhelmed?¡± ¡°Not to that extent. They¡¯re all experts close to level 80. While they might not be able to instantly kill bosses like you, taking them down is still quite simple,¡± Su Jin¡¯er reassured calmly. ¡°True.¡± Meanwhile, high above the base city: Yan Zhantian quietly floated in midair with four illusory panels in front of him. The panels disyed the situations in the four districts. ¡°Dragon Language magic?!¡± Seeing the massive ming ck dragon in the East District, Yan Zhantian¡¯s eyes nearly popped out. ¡°Isn¡¯t Dragon Language magic exclusive to Dragon Speakers¡­¡± Yan Zhantian muttered in disbelief, then realized, ¡°Wait, this kid isn¡¯t a Specialist. He can learn any skill¡­¡± He raised a corner of his mouth in excitement. ¡°Looks like 1¡¯11 really have to exert myself this time. I must recruit this kid.¡± As Mo Xiao killed the sixth-round boss, the battle times in each district were reduced by a few minutes. Luckily, Fang Chang and the others were powerful enough to quickly defeat the other bosses, and the siege continued. The previously boastful Professionals had now fallen silent, standing on the city walls with their mouths shut. Not to mention fighting the enemy, they did not even dare to say a word. Mo Xiao¡¯s Soul Extinguishing ck me that instantly killed the boss hadpletely subdued them. It was only one move to kill the boss, let alone deal with them. [Congrattions on sessfullypleting the eleventh round of the city defense battle! You have received 100 merit points!] Mo Xiao slowly put away the flying longbow in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief. The monster in the 11th round was so powerful that Mo Xiao had to go personally to deal with it. Fortunately, this was also the secondst round. ¡°Mo Xiao, do you sense anything unusual?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was about to take a short break, Su Jin¡¯er suddenly asked. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong?¡± Mo Xiao frowned and looked at the corpses of the monsters around him. He shook his head and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked at these monsters and said seriously, ¡°They¡¯re too weak.¡± ¡°Weak?!¡± Mo Xiao wondered if his ears were ying tricks on him. The 11th round consisted of nearly a thousand level-60 siege monsters, with half being elites. And she called them weak??? Seeing his expression, Su Jin¡¯er understood what he was thinking. She said, ¡°This is a level-three battle. A level-three battle corresponds to a third-profession professional.¡± ¡°Meaning the strongest monsters should be level 89,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said seriously. ¡°But no level 89 monsters have appeared yet, indicating that thest round will be terrifying.¡± Level 89 monsters. He was already struggling against level 60 monsters. Facing level 89 ones¡­ He felt utterly helpless. ¡°If it¡¯s a one-on-one battle, I can even fight a level 89 boss. It¡¯s not a big problem. Anyway, there¡¯s only one round left. It can¡¯t be a bunch of level 89 monsters, right?¡± Mo Xiao still had a trace of hope in his heart as he said very calmly. ¡°Who told you that there must only be one boss in a boss battle?¡± Su Jin¡¯er raised her hand and took out her staff. With a serious expression, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t carry any trace of wishful thinking. The real war is about to begin!¡± [Warning! The 12th round of siege is about to begin! Please be prepared!] [The 12th round of siege! Begin! The boss has appeared! Everyone, please be careful!] The familiar system notification sounded once again. Countless lights shed across the battlefield. Eight colossal monsters appeared. Just as Mo Xiao was reeling from shock, a brilliant ck pir of light descended from above. The next moment, a muchrger, terrifying creature appeared amidst the monsters. The monsters shared amon appearance, differing only in equipment and skin color. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be such a monster¡­ The Beast King n, Golden Lynel..¡± Chapter 127 - 127: Golden Centaur Chapter 127: Golden Centaur Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios The creature before him had the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a human, but its face resembled that of a lion. Standing at a towering height of three to four meters, it carried a peculiar metal longbow on its back. What set them apart was that each of these centaur-like beings wielded different weapons. From small sword and shieldbinations to massive three-meter-long rods, they were equipped with a variety of weaponry. Especially thest one to appear. Its entire body was golden and it carried a massive four-meter-long metal rod on its back, making it look quite formidable. ¡°Is this¡­ a centaur? Lynel?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression became peculiar as he gazed at these creatures. Indeed, he recognized these beings. Although they might be different from his memories, their appearance and equipment were identical. These individuals before him were unmistakably from a game in his previous life ¨C the centaur, Lynel, from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! Moreover, they were all of Silver and Gold ranks, characterized by their gleaming white and golden appearances. ¡°Eh? How do you know they¡¯re Lynel?¡± Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s tone was filled with surprise upon hearing Mo Xiao mention Lynel¡¯s name. ¡°Um¡­ I just investigated.¡± Mo Xiao replied quickly, while simultaneously using his Illusion Breaking Technique on Lynel. [Beast King¡ªGolden Lynel¡ªGold Rank Boss] Level: LV89 HP: 430,000/430,000 Strength: 20,000 Agility: 12,000 Spirit: 8,000 Endurance: 18,000 Physique: 32,000 Skills: Arrow Rain: Releases a barrage of arrows, dealing significant damage to all yers in the area, with a chance to shoot explosive arrows. Charge Pounce: Launches a fierce pounce at yers using powerful limbs, causing area damage and sending targets flying, while also inflicting impact damage. w Rip: Attacks yers with hard ws, inflicting substantial melee damage and having a chance to induce bleeding or other debuffs. Armor Regeneration: Enters a regenerative state after sustaining a certain amount of damage, recovering a proportion of HP per second, and increasing physical and magical resistance. Lightning Arrow: Shoots a massive lightning-infused arrow at the target, causing burn damage within an area and adding a static electricity effect for a limited duration. Berserk Fury: Enters a berserk state, significantly boosting attack power and speed, and can induce a group frenzy state in nearby smaller monsters, temporarily enhancing their attack power. Beast God Bloodline: Possessing the power of the Beast God, Lynel¡¯s attacks carry an overwhelming force that cannot be suppressed. Looking at the terrifying attribute panel in front of him, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils constricted. Although he could guess that its attributes might be terrifying, seeing this daunting panel, Mo Xiao was taken aback. ¡°Can we handle this kind of boss? A being of such magnitude?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s voice shook, and he took a deep breath. It was the first time he felt so unsettled. ¡°We can handle it, but it¡¯ll certainly be challenging,¡± Su Jin¡¯er reassured calmly, ¡°However, you might need to help me distract the other Silver Centaurs.¡± Silver Centaurs. Apart from thest golden centaur, the others were all silver-ranked. Though their grade was a level lower than the Golden Centaur, their level was identical, reaching the third transformation at Level 89. While their attributes might not be as extreme as the Golden Centaur¡¯s, they were still beyond the reach of level 20-something professionals like themselves. ¡°Eight Silver Centaurs¡­¡± Looking at the eight silver beings that were just as oppressive as the Golden Centaur, Mo Xiao involuntarily gulped. He might stand a chance against one Silver Centaur, but facing eight Silver Bosses simultaneously¡­ Mo Xiao¡¯s best option was probably to flee as hard as he could, counting himself fortunate if he managed to avoid getting crushed. Seeing Mo Xiao like this, Su Jin¡¯er smiled and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be nervous too. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you go alone. All my summoned creatures will help you.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Xiao nodded slightly, his expression still somewhat serious. ¡°Don¡¯t forget, you can cast dragonnguage magic. As long as it¡¯s a magic skill, you can use dragonnguage magic to strengthen it, including summoning,¡± Su Jin¡¯er continued, ¡°With me around, there¡¯s no need to panic. ¡°Besides, there¡¯s someone watching us from above. He won¡¯t let anything happen to you.¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was also stunned. He quickly turned around, but he didn¡¯t see anyone. Su Jin¡¯er said directly, ¡°Yan Zhantian, he definitely won¡¯t ignore such a huge battle. However, he can¡¯t attack directly. It won¡¯t be good if it causes a change.¡± Mo Xiao nodded slightly when he heard this. He knew that once Yan Zhantian appeared, the monster side would definitely have an existence that could deal with Yan Zhantian. At that time, it would be a crazy battle between big shots. Observing Mo Xiao¡¯s contemtion, Su Jin¡¯er suddenly moved closer and remarked, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what special abilities you possess, I assume you have the ability to replicate others¡¯ skills, right?¡± ¡°!!!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao shivered, looking at Su Jin¡¯er in disbelief. He stammered, ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. It¡¯s very difficult for me to deal with a level 89 monster, so if you really have this ability, please copy the skill from me,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said magnanimously. Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, Mo Xiao subconsciously nced at the peerless weapon on Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s body. Immediately, his face turned red as he coughed awkwardly, and said, ¡°My ability can replicate skills, but it¡¯s randomly copied.¡± ¡°Random is fine. Just copy it,¡± Su Jin¡¯er replied, a knowing smile on her face. ¡°Then¡­ then I¡¯ll copy it¡­¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he directly extended his hand towards Su Jin¡¯er and towards the colossus¡­ In the end, Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and ced his hand on Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s face. ¡°You¡­¡± Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, Su Jin¡¯er was also a little dumbfounded. Then, she teased, ¡°You want me now? I¡¯m afraid this little time isn¡¯t enough, right? The battle is about to begin, or¡­ is this all you have?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t make assumptions! My¡­ my¡­ my skill requires physical contact with the other party!¡± [Ding, you rubbed Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s small face in exasperation. The skill, Death God¡¯s Scythe, has been replicated!] [Death God¡¯s Scythe: Summons a terrifying scythe with the aura of death and throws it at the target. It will deal 500% damage to the target¡¯s mental strength! Ignores all defense! 5% chance to kill the opponent directly! Cost: 1,500 MP. CD: 5 minutes.] Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s frantic demeanor, Su Jin¡¯er chuckled and asked, ¡°So, did you copy it?¡± ¡°I copied it¡­¡± ¡°What skill?¡± ¡°Death God¡¯s Scythe.¡± Chapter 128 - 128: Kill and Instant Death Chapter 128: Kill and Instant Death Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Death God¡¯s Scythe?! You copied my skill?!¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Su Jin¡¯er was a little surprised. This was one of the few skills among her abilities that had a beheading effect. Although the beheading effect was somewhat limitedpared to instant death, it could still be used to instantly kill a target, albeit with only a 5% probability. ¡°A 5% chance of directly killing the other party. Very powerful,¡± Mo Xiao remarked as he looked at the skill in his hand. Seeing this, Su Jin¡¯er had an idea and a massive scythe appeared in her hand. ¡°The skill¡¯s description says it causes damage when thrown, but that¡¯s not all.¡± As she spoke, Su Jin¡¯er waved the scythe in her hand slightly and said, ¡°If you throw it, the skill will be used up, and it can only cause damage a couple of times. ¡°But if you hold it and merge it with your weapon, you can keep using it until the beheading effect triggers, and then it disappears.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the beheading effect? Is it instant death?¡± Mo Xiao asked with some confusion. Su Jin¡¯er nced at the immobile centaurs and continued, ¡°The descriptions of skills you learn be more confusing as your level increases. ¡°Beheading is a kind of effect simr to instant death. Once triggered, it can kill any creature instantly, regardless of their level or attributes. ¡°However, for the beheading effect to work, the target must have a lower level than you. If the target¡¯s level is higher, the effect bes a percentage-based damage. ¡°And therger the level difference, the less damage the percentage-based effect causes. For targets like these centaurs, even if you trigger the beheading effect, you¡¯ll only be able to cut off a tiny fraction of their health. ¡°Adding the 500% mental damage, though not much, it¡¯s considerable against high-level bosses.¡± After Su Jin¡¯er exined, she seemed to think of something and looked at Mo Xiao with a puzzled expression. ¡°You¡­ how do you trigger this ability to replicate skills? You can just touch someone?¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s question, Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth and did not know how to exin for a moment. In the end, he threw the talent panel directly in front of Su Jin¡¯er. ¡°Just Rub It?¡± Seeing this name, Su Jin¡¯er was initially taken aback. But in the next moment, her face turned red. ¡°Your skill¡­ is quite¡­ extraordinary?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Mo Xiao cleared his throat twice. ¡°Lynel is about to attack the city. I¡¯ll go attract the attention of the silver centaurs.¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s flustered appearance, Su Jin¡¯er also smiled. ¡°No wonder this kid¡¯sbat abilities have improved so quickly. It turns out he has this skill.¡± With that, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s expression turned serious, and a staff with an eerie glow appeared in her hand. ¡°Level 89 Gold-tier boss, it¡¯s been a while since 1 encountered one. It looks like I have to give it my all this time.¡± Su Jin¡¯er took a deep breath and said, ¡°Go, Mo Xiao! Restrain these eight silver centaurs! I¡¯ll find a way to relieve the pressure for you!¡± ¡°Okay! Got it!¡± ¡°Dragon Language, Dragon Wings!¡± ¡°Dragon Language, Skeleton Lord Summoning!¡± ¡°Dragon Language, Skeletal Dragon Summoning!¡± ¡°Dragon Language, me Entanglement!¡± ¡°Dragon Language, Sea of Fire!¡± With a burst of dragonnguage, two evenrger skeleton lords appeared on the battlefield. The skeletal appearance had a touch of dragon-like elements. The transformation of the skeletal dragon was even more dramatic. Its body erged several times, with faint illusory dragon shadows dancing across it, as if possessed by a dragon soul. In the next moment, eight me-formed giant dragons appeared on the centaurs, entwining them like ropes. Meanwhile, the ground was engulfed in countless blue mes, drowning all the centaurs on the field. ¡°Mo Xiao! Be careful! Lynel doesn¡¯t take attribute damage!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I know!¡± When the mes wrapped around the centaur and did not cause any damage, attribute attacks could not cause any damage to the centaur. ¡°Dragon Language, Earth Control Power!¡± With the activation of the Earth Control Power, the ground trembled violently. Mo Xiao felt a force rapidly leaving his body, and his stamina plummeted. Thick earthen walls rose from the ground, forming nine houses and trapping the centaurs inside. ¡°Ha¡­ ha¡­¡± Looking at the huge cubes that appeared in front of him, Mo Xiao put down his right hand and copsed on the bone dragon. Although his mana didn¡¯t decrease by much, he felt extremely tired, as if he had run five kilometers. ¡°Change the terrain?¡± Looking at the strange cube that rose from the ground, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s face was also filled with surprise. This was an ability to change the terrain. Not to mention Su Jin¡¯er, even Yan Zhantian had never seen anyone use this skill. In their memories, a skill that could change the terrain could only be used by NPCs or special bosses! ¡®Mo Xiao¡­ Could it be that he can even replicate the skills of monsters and NPCs?¡¯ When Su Jin¡¯er thought of this, a trace of shock could not help but sh across her eyes. ¡°Senior Sister, attack! They shouldn¡¯t be able toe out for the time being!¡± Mo Xiao sat on the bone dragon. Although the dragon wings hadn¡¯t disappeared, he didn¡¯t have the strength to control himself to fly in the air. Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao with a burning gaze. In the end, she did not ask anything and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ming.¡± After saying that, Su Jin¡¯er directly flew towards the square in the middle. At this moment, the people and horses inside were also frantically hitting the stone b that locked him up. However, this stone b was created with Mo Xiao¡¯s full strength. Even the golden centaur would have to struggle for a while. Just as Su Jin¡¯er was about to rush over, a roar suddenly sounded from the cube. In the next moment, a violent wind instantly erupted from the square, and the originally hard stone b was instantly filled with cracks. Then, the entire cube exploded, and the golden centaurs appeared on the battlefield again. As for the silver centaurs, they continued to struggle. ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t expect the Gold Centaur to be so strong,¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression soured as he looked at the situation. Su Jin¡¯er smiled, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Your task was to restrain the silver centaurs, and the gold ones were never within your reach.¡± Mo Xiao looked at the gold centaurs ahead, took a deep breath, and leaped into the air, appearing above them. Two Four Symbols Heavy Swords materialized in his hands. ¡°Death God Scythe!¡± ¡°ShatteringMountains and Rivers!!¡± [Ding! Killing effect activated!] [Ding!! Instant death effect triggered!!] Chapter 129 - 129: Evolution! Beast God! Chapter 129: Evolution! Beast God! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [Ding, beheading effect triggered! HP decreased by 1%!] -4,3oo! -62,080! As the shockwave that shattered mountains and rivers struck the golden centaur, an instant 60,000 damage appeared on its body. The massive impact forced the centaur to take two steps back. [Ding! Instant death effect triggered!] -363,620!!! In an instant, a string of gray numbers appeared above the golden centaur¡¯s head. The centaur, previously prepared to counterattack, had its pupils tremble, and its strong arms droop as the instant death effect struck. Its golden skin gradually turned gray and then dissipated into a ckish-purple mist. ¡°F*ck!!!¡± Mo Xiao eximed in shock at the sudden instant death effect. Without hesitation, he activated Shadowless and rushed towards the golden centaur. This was a level 89 golden boss, and Mo Xiao didn¡¯t want to miss the opportunity to obtain thisyer¡¯s skill. ¡°Mo Xiao! What are you doing?! Come back!¡± Su Jin¡¯er was also shocked by the centaur¡¯s sudden death. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, she eximed in rm. Mo Xiao paid no attention to Su Jin¡¯er and charged at the golden centaur. [You rubbed against Golden Lynel. The innate Beast God bloodline has been replicated!] [Ding. Due to the uniqueness of the Beast God bloodline, this talent cannot be replicated. Adjusting talent¡­] [Talent adjustmentpleted. Congrattions on obtaining the innate divine bloodline!] [Divine Bloodline: Power from the ancient gods. When you encounter a being with divine power, it might have a special effect.] ¡°Divine bloodline? Divine power? Special effect?¡± Looking at the information in front of him, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. ¡°What are these things?¡± Before Mo Xiao could react, a fragrant wind instantly blew in his face. She fell directly into Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s arms, and in an instant, brought Mo Xiao back to the city tower. ¡°Mo Xiao! Are you crazy? Charging in like that! Do you want to die?!¡± Su Jin¡¯er scolded angrily. ¡°It was already dead, and I thought of not wasting the opportunity to gain a skill¡­¡± Mo Xiao scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°You¡¯re not afraid of death!¡± Su Jin¡¯er nced at Mo Xiao angrily and said. Just as Mo Xiao was about to speak, they felt the ground shake violently. In the next moment, a deafening roar echoed across the area. [Ding, beast god bloodline triggered! Golden Lynel evolved into beast god Lynel!] ¡°It¡­ it evolved?!¡± Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. He almost thought that he had evolved Lynel! [Beast God Lynel, Diamond Boss] Level: LV89 HP: 860,000/860,000 Strength: 40,000 Agility: 24,000 Spirit: 16,000 Endurance: 36,000 Physique: 64,000 Skills: Beast God¡¯s Power: Attacks cannot be suppressed in any form, affecting everyone.

Golden Aura: Releases a golden aura, healing nearby allies and enhancing their attack and defense. Trial of the Beast God: Deals damage to enemies in the area and prevents them from receiving healing effects. Life Fusion: Merges life force with surrounding monsters, preventing health loss until the monsters die. ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the increasingly exaggerated attributes, Mo Xiao subconsciously took a step back. Whether it was its attributes or skills, they had all been upgraded on the basis of the previous golden Lynel. Just now, his strongest skill had only dealt 60,000 damage to Lynel. Now that it had evolved, he really wasn¡¯t sure if it could break its defense. ¡°Senior Sister¡­ what should we do next?¡± Mo Xiao turned to look at Su Jin¡¯er beside him and asked worriedly. ¡°Let¡¯s deal with the Silver Centaur first, then deal with this Beast God.¡± Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s expression was also iparably serious. A diamond-level boss was much stronger than a gold-level boss. ¡°Roar!!!¡± With another deafening roar, green light waves instantly scattered from Beast God Lynel¡¯s body, directly shattering all the squares made by Mo Xiao and connecting with the silver centaur. At the same time, the Beast God slowly reached behind his back and removed a huge longbow from his back. He aimed it straight at Mo Xiao, who was on the city gate tower. Seeing this scene, his expression tightened and he hurriedly said, ¡°Who has a shield! Give me one!¡± ¡°1! I have it!¡± After the dumbfounded professionals heard Mo Xiao¡¯s call, a shield guard hurriedly ran over and quickly threw his shield to Mo Xiao. [You rubbed the ck ant shield, and the ck iron shield sublimated into the ck Soldier Ant Shield! ] Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched at the name of the shield. ¡°ck Soldier Ant Shield? Really?¡± Although the ck Tortoise Armor could block any weapon, the Four Symbols Heavy Sword was a weapon after all. Its size was limited, and the range of the shield¡¯s block judgment wasrger. The moment Mo Xiao equipped his shield, an arrow flickering with silver lightning shot straight at him. Looking at the silver arrow that arrived in an instant, Mo Xiao focused his attention to the extreme and waved the shield in his hand. ¡°ng!¡± With a dull collision sound, the shield in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand instantly lit up with a red light. In an instant, the silver arrow was deflected back. Two other energy shockwaves followed suit. ¡°Roar!!!¡± In the next moment, a shrill roar sounded, and lightning illuminated the body of a silver centaur at the edge. The centaur¡¯s body convulsed rapidly, and a massive damage number appeared above its head. -100,000 -100,000 -100,000 In an instant, the Silver Centaur¡¯s HP was depleted, and it copsed to the ground. ¡°A 300% damage reflection shield?¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked at the fallen Silver Centaur in astonishment. She had seen Shield Reflection and even 100% Shield Reflection before, but 300% was entirely new to her.. Chapter 130 - 130: Demonization With 10 Times the Increase Chapter 130: Demonization With 10 Times the Increase Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°What kind of skill is this? Blocking? Why is it so powerful? It can reflect 300% of the damage. Isn¡¯t this too overpowered?¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao with a puzzled expression. She had thought she had discovered this guy¡¯s secret. But could even a boss possess such a skill? ¡°Red skill, ck Tortoise Armor.¡± Mo Xiao did not hide it from Su Jin¡¯er and directly said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to restrain the Golden Centaur?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked deeply at Mo Xiao, but did not say anything, holding her staff, she charged directly towards the Golden Centaur. Watching Su Jin¡¯er leave, Mo Xiao turned his head and looked at the group of professionals with dazed expressions. ¡°Let me use the shield for a while. If it breaks, I¡¯llpensate you with a new one.¡± ¡°Boss, feel free to use it! It¡¯s my honor!¡± After that, Mo Xiao¡¯s wings trembled, and his equipment changed again. The flying sword and longbow instantly appeared in his hands. Then, Mo Xiao shot seven times in a row, and numerous arrows flew towards the remaining seven silver centaurs. -8,656! -4,328! -4,328! -4,328! -4,328! In an instant, a series of damages that exceeded a thousand appeared above all the centaurs¡¯ heads at the same time, directly suppressing their health by about one-tenth. Although the damage was not high, Mo Xiao¡¯s attack had attracted the aggro of almost all the Silver Centaurs. At the same time, Mo Xiaonded on the ground and quietly looked at the iparably ferocious Silver Centaurs. Seeing Mo Xiao fall to the ground, as if provoked, the Silver Centaurs roared angrily. Apanied by a furious roar, the seven centaurs opened their mouths one after another, mes surging in their mouths as they aimed at Mo Xiao not far away. [Lynel¡¯s Wrath: Concentrate energy in your mouth, turning it into iparably hot mes that continuously spew towards the target, causing high fire damage to the target!] ¡°A fire-attribute skill?¡± Mo Xiao, who was originally prepared to dodge, stopped in ce when he saw the description of this skill. ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!¡± With a series of air-piercing sounds, seven huge mes ruthlessly smashed towards Mo Xiao. Almost instantly, the mes drowned Mo Xiao. ¡°Mo Xiao!!!¡± Seeing the motionless Mo Xiao, Su Jin¡¯er was also shocked. If not for the fact that she saw that Mo Xiao¡¯s health bar on the team panel had almost no change, she would have rushed over directly. [-9] [-5] [-7] As seven single digits of damage floated above his head, Mo Xiao also calmly patted the dust off his body. ¡°It seems that this isn¡¯t considered a fire-element magic skill. It actually wasn¡¯t copied by the power of the Fire God.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao raised his hands, and the ck Soldier Ant Shield and the Four Symbols Heavy Sword appeared in his hands at the same time. ¡°Dragon Language, me Entanglement!¡± Mo Xiao once again used me Entanglement, directly tying up one of the centaurs. ¡°Dragon Language, Advanced Ring of Fire Resistance!¡± Again, Mo Xiao¡¯s voice rang out, and a ring of fire instantly spread out from the centaur wrapped in the fire dragon. This pushed the other centaurs 50 meters away before stopping. Seeing this, Mo Xiao did not have time to be surprised. He directly rushed towards the centaurs and pressed his right hand on them. [You rubbed against the muscr chest of the centaur. The skill Lightning Arrow has been replicated! ] Although the skill had been duplicated, Mo Xiao was not in the mood to care about it. ¡°Evil Qi Extraction!¡± ¡°Demonization!¡± With the activation of the skill, Mo Xiao¡¯s attributes once again underwent a qualitative leap. Especially after obtaining aprehensive enhancement, the enhancement of the demonization attributes reached a terrifying hundred times! Just as Mo Xiao was feeling excited, an unprecedented negative emotion instantly surged in his heart. His originally clear eyes instantly turned blood-red, and there was only one thought left in his heart. That was to kill, to kill everything in front of him! ¡°All!!! Die!!!¡± With a roar, Mo Xiao took out the Four Symbols Heavy Sword with both hands and shed it fiercely at the centaur. -141,120! Apanied by a painful scream, a damage of 140,000 instantly appeared on the Silver Centaur¡¯s body. Almost instantly, Mo Xiao¡¯s second swordnded on it. Under Mo Xiao¡¯s attack, the Silver Centaur, who only had a trace of health left, fell heavily to the ground. [You killed the Silver Boss, Silver Lynel!] Almost instantly, Mo Xiao turned around and ran towards another group. [Ding, the power of a thousand catties has been triggered!] Just as Mo Xiao hit another Silver Centaur, the system prompt sounded again. -1,065,600!!! Immediately, damage exceeding a million appeared. If this shnded on the Golden Centaur, it would probably be killed! At this moment, two of the centaurs had already rushed to Mo Xiao¡¯s side. A huge one-handed sword shed fiercely at Mo Xiao¡¯s body. [-40,000!] [-40,000!] [Ding! ck Tortoise Armor has been triggered! HP is forcibly retained by one drop!] -20,000! -20,000! At the same time, the thorns of the ck Tortoise Armor deducted a fifth of the health from these two centaurs. Mo Xiao instantly turned around and swung his two swords. -141,120! -141,120! Two more miserable screams rang out, and two more silver centaurs died. Moreover, under the effect of the Lifesteal attribute, a terrifying health regeneration number shed above Mo Xiao¡¯s head at the same time. [+105,840!] His previously empty health bar instantly recovered to full. ¡°Die!!!¡± Mo Xiao roared and rushed towards the remaining three silver centaurs. In just a few minutes, all the silver centaurs had been defeated, lying on the ground. Only thest centaur, the Beast God Lionel, remained engaged in battle with Su Jin¡¯er. At this moment, Mo Xiao had already lost consciousness. After the silver centaurs were defeated, he charged directly at Beast God Lynel. Su Jin¡¯er, who was at the side, was shocked again when she saw this scene. She hurriedly said, ¡°Mo Xiao! Are you crazy?! Come back quickly!¡± At this moment, Mo Xiao rushed in front of Lynel as if he couldn¡¯t hear anything. The Four Symbols Heavy Sword red fiercely at Beast God Lynel. ¡°Ding!¡± [Your attack was stopped by the power of the Beast God! Please dodge quickly!] With a crisp sound, Mo Xiao¡¯s attack seemed to have struck an indestructible wall. A blue light shed, and he was sent flying. At the same time, Beast God Lynel raised the Beast God Rod and smashed it towards Mo Xiao at a terrifying speed. Seeing this, Su Jin¡¯er hurriedly waved her hand and cast ¡°Absolute Protection.¡± Immediately, countless skeletons rose from the ground and wrapped around Mo Xiao. ¡°Thud!¡± With a heavy collision sound, countless bones scattered on the ground, and Mo Xiao was also heavily smashed to the ground, but not a drop of blood fell.. Chapter 131 The Descent of the Dragon God 131 The Descent of the Dragon God "This is¡­ demonization?" Su Jin''er quickly caught Mo Xiao and looked at his condition in surprise. Although this transformation greatly increased his attributes, it was useless if it caused him to lose his sanity. "Dispel it." Without waiting for Mo Xiao''s consent, Su Jin''er immediately dispelled his transformation. Mo Xiao, who had his eyespletely red just moments ago, instantly regained his senses. "Huh? What happened to me?" Mo Xiao looked bewildered at Su Jin''er beside him. "Wasn''t I just fighting the Silver Centaur?" "I didn''t expect you to have a transformation skill, but don''t you know that this state can affect your sanity? You werepletely berserk just now!" Su Jin''er scolded him. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao was taken aback. Lost sanity? He remembered that thest time he lost his sanity, he still had some consciousness left. Why did he lose all consciousness this time? Could it be that thisprehensive enhancement not only increased the strength of his abilities but also amplified the negative effects by tenfold? That would be incredibly frustrating! "But there are advantages too. In this transformed state, you wiped out those Silver Centaurs in just a few minutes," Su Jin''er said, looking at the corpses of the Silver Centaurs on the ground. "¡­" Mo Xiao didn''t say anything in response. With a hundredfold increase in attributes, defeating a few Silver Centaurs was a piece of cake. Seeing that Mo Xiao was silent, Su Jin''er continued, "By the way, do you have the ability to control the earth?" As if she had thought of something, Su Jin''er suddenly asked. Mo Xiao nodded without hesitation, as he had already used it earlier. "Could you throw all these Silver Centaur corpses onto the body of the Beast God Lynelter? I have the skill to detonate corpses, but these corpses are too far from Beast God Lynel." Su Jiner said as she controlled the skeletal dragon to approach Beast God Lynel. "Is this skill useful?" Mo Xiao furrowed his brows. "When I attacked Lynel just now, the system told me that my attacks were blocked by some Beast God''s power." "I know. That''s a power simr to dragonnguage magic, a special kind of divine power," Su Jin''er exined when she heard this. "I have some power of the Death God on me, which can barely cause some damage to him." "Divine power?" Listening to this brand new term, Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin''er in confusion. "After we humans change professions, we can change professions once every 30 levels," Su Jin''er exined directly, "After reaching level 90 andpleting the fourth transition, if we want to continue improving, we need to obtain divine power through some special missions. Only then can we undergo the fifth profession change. "And to deal with monsters with divine power, you can only use divine power to break their suppression." "Divine power, huh¡­" Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully. Speaking of divine power, he seemed to have a few divine powers on him. The first one was the SSS-level talent, the Fire God''s power, inherited from Yan Zhantian. The second one was the Death God''s Heart, which he absorbed from Su Jin''er and refined. Thest one was the Divine Bloodline he had just absorbed from the Golden Lynel. He didn''t know what it was for, but it was the only thing explicitly rted to divine power. "Alright, my bone dragon can''t hold on any longer. Let''s take action now. We can discuss the rest after the battle is over." Su Jin''er said, summoning countless skeletons to attack Beast God Lynel. Seeing this, Mo Xiao looked at the corpses of the silver Centaurs around him. He activated his Earth Control Power again, and eightrge hands emerged from the ground, grabbing the Centaur corpses on the ground tightly. He then quickly dragged them towards Beast God Lynel. As the corpses approached Lynel, Mo Xiao controlled therge hands and threw the Centaur corpses towards him. "Senior Sister!" "Corpse Explosion!" -75,000! -75,000! -75,000! -75,000! ¡­ Immediately, eight loud explosions sounded. A series of terrifying damage numbers rose from Beast God Lynel''s body. Eight explosions had taken away 600,000 damage from Beast God Lynel. If there were more corpses, they could have instantly killed him, but unfortunately, Beast God Lynel was left with 290,000 health points. "Darn it! How does he still have so much health?" Although Su Jiner had a high level, she couldn''t inspect the attributes of the Centaur, so she didn''t expect that there would be so much health remaining after the explosion. "No! We can''t stop attacking! Mo Xiao, give it your all to attack this guy! We must not let him recover!" Seeing this, Su Jin''er eximed. Hearing Su Jiner''s words, Mo Xiao furrowed his brows. His attacks were ineffective against Beast God Lynel. What use was it to attack? "Do you have to possess an ability rted to the divine to cause damage to him¡­" Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao suddenly remembered an ability he hadn''t used in a long time. It appeared in his mind. Mo Xiao rose into the air once again, and the magic source ring that he had been wearing for a long time began to glow brightly. "Dragonnguage ¡¤ Dragon God Descends!" With a low shout from Mo Xiao, a massive red magic circle instantly appeared in the sky above the battlefield. In the next moment, a huge fireball fell from the magic circle and mmed into Beast God Lynel with tremendous force. -90,000 "Roar!!!" Apanied by a dragon''s roar, the massive fireball transformed into a towering fire dragon several dozen meters tall as soon as it appeared. The fire dragon''s enormous ws struck Beast God Lynel''s body as soon as it appeared, stomping him into the ground. "Roar!!!" Another deafening dragon roar resounded. And the fire dragon suddenly opened itsrge mouth, gathering an extremely condensed energy in its mouth. The next moment, a dazzling red beam of light burst from its mouth, directly piercing through Beast God Lynel on the ground. -300,000! [Congrattions on killing Beast God Lynel! The defense of the East District has ended! Please hurry to other city districts to assist other defenders!" Hearing the system''s notification, Mo Xiao didn''t hesitate. With a thought, the fire dragon soared into the sky and flew towards the other city gates. Meanwhile, Su Jiner stood there in a daze. "What¡­ what skill is this of yours?" "His skill is called Dragon God''s Descent. It''s considered the most powerful fire-element skill." Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out. The two turned around and saw Yan Zhantian, who had appeared behind them at some point. His gaze towards Mo Xiao was as hot as if he were looking at a beauty. "Mo Xiao! Be my disciple! As long as you''re willing to be my disciple, I can even call you Master, okay!" Chapter 132 Yan Zhantians Guidance 132 Yan Zhantian''s Guidance "Mo Xiao! Be my disciple! As long as you''re willing to be my disciple, I can even call you Master, okay!" Yan Zhantian said eagerly. "Hey, hey, hey! Yan Zhantian! What are you up to again?" Su Jin''er, who was nearby, rushed over and shielded Mo Xiao, looking displeased. "What are you doing now? I''m talking to my disciple!" Seeing Su Jin''er running over again, Yan Zhantian also looked unhappy. "Who''s your disciple?! Didn''t we already agree?! We''ll decide on the matter of bing a disciple after the college entrance examination! Why are you secretly taking action again?!" "You''re still by his side every day! Who knows if you''ve epted him on behalf of your master!" Yan Zhantian retorted without caring about his seniority. Mo Xiao, watching the two of them arguing like children, was momentarily stunned before he stepped forward and said, "Senior sister, senior, please calm down for a moment." "Look! He''s already calling you Senior Sister! And you still say that you didn''t take in a disciple for that old woman!" Yan Zhantian instantly exploded when he heard this form of address. When Su Jin''er heard this, she scolded rudely, "Who are you calling an old woman! You shameless old man! My master is still young! Shall I call her over to teach you a lesson?!" "Come on! I''m not afraid of her!" Looking at the two people arguing loudly like children in front of him, the corners of Mo Xiao''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch twice, and he quickly said, "Alright, alright, Senior, Senior Sister, calm down first. Calling her senior sister is just a temporary form of address, and I haven''t officially be a disciple of the Archmage." "Is that so? Well, I thought you had already be her disciple, and that scared me for a moment," Yan Zhantian said, relieved that Mo Xiao rified this point, fearing that this talented individual might have joined someone else''s sect. "You think I''m you? Always sneaking around and making moves in secret!" Su Jin''er continued to retort relentlessly. "You!" Yan Zhantian red at Su Jin''er but didn''t say anything more. "Kid, your skills are strong, but having strong skills alone isn''t enough." ? Seeing the doubt in Mo Xiao''s eyes, Yan Zhantian continued, "When you were fighting just now, I was watching you closely. "Yourbat power is indeed impressive,pletely exceeding what''s expected at your level. "But all your fighting techniques rely on skills provided by the system, right?" Mo Xiao hesitated for a moment at Yan Zhantian''s words and then nodded. Although the Sword Emperor had started teaching him how to use techniques against enemies, the opponents he had encountered so far had been too powerful, leaving him with no opportunity to use techniques. All he could do was unleash all his skills recklessly. Except for Shield Reflection, he had no realbat techniques. "It''s fine against straightforward enemies with fixed attributes, but what will you do when you encounter opponents like us, who have high intelligence?" Yan Zhantian said calmly. "Can''t we continue crushing them?" Yan Zhantian was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "You can crush them, but are you sure you are able to crush them? Su Jin''er should have told you that in the Tianyuan Battlefield, the Demon n dominates. "Not only are they numerous and powerful, but they also have intelligenceparable to us humans. "After they realize how strong you are, do you think they''ll stand there like these bosses and let you attack them?" Yan Zhantian continued slowly. "Sometimes, restraint is also a technique, and keeping your attack methods hidden from your opponent is also abat strategy. "But it''s too early to talk about this now¡­ You''ll find out during the college entrance examination," Yan Zhantian said, reconsidering and not borating further. "We''ll find out during the college entrance examination? Is there something special about it?" Mo Xiao asked curiously. Yan Zhantian nced at Mo Xiao and said directly, "Not really, it''s just that you''ll be challenging a tower during the college entrance examination." "A tower? What tower?" Mo Xiao quickly asked, wanting more details. "Hey, Yan Zhantian! Are you really nning to tell him about the Heaven-reaching Tower?" Su Jin''er saw that Yan Zhantian seemed to be about to reveal it and quickly reminded him. Yan Zhantian nced at Su Jin''er and said, "Does it matter? The Heaven-reaching Tower is not a secret to humans. After all, everyone will go in for trials during the college entrance examination. "And all the major family descendants know about the Heaven-reaching Tower, even its contents. It doesn''t matter if I tell him in advance." Yan Zhantian shrugged, looking indifferent. Hearing this, Su Jin''er looked at Yan Zhantian somewhat speechlessly and said, "No, just let him know it''s the Heaven-reaching Tower. Do you really not want to see his true strength after he enters the tower? At least my master wants to see his actual abilities." Yan Zhantian looked at Mo Xiao, then at Su Jin''er, and finally nodded. "Fine, I won''t say more. Kid, the college entrance examination ising soon, so take care of yourself. "But I''ve already epted you as my disciple! I can even fight for it if necessary!" Hearing Yan Zhantian''s words, Mo Xiao looked at him and seemed to be deep in thought. [Ding, MP reset to zero! Dragon God''s Descent canceled!] At that moment, a system notification sounded, and the fire dragon in the distance disappeared instantly. Hearing this news, Mo Xiao was also stunned. I used up more than 90,000 mana points just like that?? What a joke! Seeing Mo Xiao''s sudden change in expression, Su Jin''er reassured him, "Don''t worry, when the timees, you can decide for yourself who you want to be your master. We won''t make it difficult for you." "I haven''t thought about that yet. I ran out of mana just now, and the fire dragon disappeared. Shouldn''t we go support the other city gates?" Mo Xiao asked with some concern. Su Jin''er replied calmly, "No need. They are all masters at the level of City Lord or Hall Master, so they shouldn''t have trouble dealing with these monsters. Just wait patiently." "Oh¡­" Mo Xiao nodded slightly and didn''t say anything more. He sat down cross-legged and began practicing the Heavenly Essence Technique. Seeing Mo Xiao sitting down, Su Jin''er smiled slightly and looked at Yan Zhantian. "Uncle Yan, aren''t you going to watch the other city gates? Aren''t you worried about any unexpected incidents?" When Yan Zhantian heard this, he looked at the three city gates where the battles were still ongoing, then said, "Alright, I''ll go. Take care of this kid, and don''t let him be stolen by any monsters." "Even if you were stolen, he wouldn''t be stolen!" Su Jin''er rolled her eyes at Yan Zhantian and sat directly beside Mo Xiao. She closed her eyes and waited for the siege to end. Chapter 133 End of the Siege War, Reward Distribution! 133 End of the Siege War, Reward Distribution! [Ding, the boss in the North District has been killed! Please wait for the battles in other city districts to finish!] [Ding, the boss in the South District has been killed! Please wait for the battles in other city districts to finish!] [Ding, the boss in the West District has been killed! All four major city district battles have ended! The siege is over!] With the sound of the system notifications, the whole city erupted in excitement. In the city tower, Fang Chang gasped for breath, continuously gulping down health potions, "These monsters were ridiculously tough this time¡­ I almost bit the dust here." "Hehe, but we managed to hold the city, right? Even though it was a close call!" Jiang Shan, leaning against Fang Chang, grinned. "Is this considered a win? If it weren''t for that Fire Dragon showing up at thest moment to relieve the pressure, we might all have perished here," Fang Chang said irritably. Jiang Shan shrugged, "Maybe these monsters were really trying to push our base city straight off the map!" "Sigh," Fang sighed helplessly, "I wonder how things are on Chaoyang''s side¡­" Jiang Shan nced to the east, "They should be fine; they were the first to finish." "Really? I didn''t even notice¡­" Fang Chang paused and chuckled, "It seems like we''re getting old; this world belongs to the young generation." "Yeah! Maybe I should retire and stop working!" Jiang Shan teased. "How dare you!" Just as the two were yfully bantering, the system notification rang out throughout the city. [Congrattions, Yicheng Base City, forpleting the defense mission! Participants receive 1,000 merit points!] [The entire city gains a 100% experience bonus for three days!] [The entire city gains a 100% life recovery effect for three days!] [The city receives a 20% drop rate bonus for three days!] [Themander receives a city defense treasure chest!] [Themander receives 3,000 merit points!] [Themander receives 1,000,000 experience points!] [The person with the highest battle merits receives a hero''s treasure chest!] As they watched the system messages sh before their eyes, the entire Yicheng Base City erupted in celebration. [Now announcing the list of contributions!] [Battle Merit Rankings!] 1. Mo Xiao 2. Su Jin''er 3. Jiang Ting 4. Jiang Ran 5. Fang Chang 6. Jiang Shan 7¡­ The top positions naturally belonged to themanders, but what surprised them was that Mo Xiao had taken the first ce. "Mo Xiao is in first ce?" Jiang Shan looked at the list in astonishment, "I thought Su Jin''er would be the first ce, no matter what¡­ How can it be Mo Xiao?" "Could it be that Su Jin''er deliberately let him get the final kill on the monsters? "Do you think that''s possible?" Fang Chang gave Jiang Shan a helpless look, "Don''t forget, Mo Xiao has always been very strong." "Even if he''s strong, he shouldn''t be able to deal with level 60, 70, or 80 monsters. It''s really strange," Jiang Shan said, although he didn''t sound resentful. Mo Xiao had clearly put in a lot of effort to defend the city, so there was no reason to me him. "Oh, not bad, junior brother, you''re first on the Battle Merit Rankings," Su Jin''er said excitedly as she looked at the list. Mo Xiao nodded, "I saw it, but what can I get from being first? What can this Hero''s Treasure Chest give me?" Su Jin''er thought for a moment and said, "It should be able to give you anything. It depends on luck, and I''m not sure, I''ve never gotten one before." "You''ve never won it before? You''re so strong, but you''ve never won first ce on the Battle Merit Rankings?" Mo Xiao asked in surprise. Su Jin''er nced at Mo Xiao and said, "I haven''t always been this strong. I leveled up slowly, and I haven''t participated in many siege battles. In therger battles, the War God always participated, so being in the top 10 is already good for me." "Alright." Mo Xiao nodded slightly. "What about the City Defense Treasure Chest?" "The City Defense Treasure Chest usually contains equipment and materials, and if you''re lucky, you might get Merit Points, but it won''t give you anything too valuable," Su Jiner exined, "Also, this is a siege battle, so the rewards are not as good as in the Tianyuan Battlefield, arger battle. So, just open it casually." "Oh¡­" Mo Xiao nodded. Just as the two were talking, two beams of light suddenly shed in front of Mo Xiao, and two gorgeous treasure chests appeared directly in front of him. One was the City Defense Treasure Chest, and the other was the Hero''s Treasure Chest. "It looks like they''re here. Should we open them right away?" Su Jin''er asked with a smile. Mo Xiao thought for a moment, then looked at Su Jin''er as if he were pondering something. "Why are you looking at me like that when I asked if we should open the chests?" Su Jin''erughed. Mo Xiao thought about it carefully, but in the end, he shook his head and said, "Let''s go back first. We can open them at home." "Sure, it''s your stuff; you can decide for yourself." At that moment, the other professionals, who had appeared out of nowhere, surrounded Mo Xiao and looked at him with excitement. "What are you all doing?" Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked impatiently. "Brother Xiao, do you want us? We can do anything, even be yourckeys!" "Yes, yes! As long as you agree, we will definitely follow your lead!" ¡­ Seeing this group of professionals talking excitedly, Mo Xiao directly waved his hand, "I don''t needckeys. Each of you can go your own way, I''m leaving!" "Don''t leave so soon." At this moment, Fang Chang''s familiar voice slowly sounded in Mo Xiao''s ear. "You''ve made such a great contribution. How can I let you leave just like that?" "So? Are you going to give me a reward too?" Mo Xiao asked pragmatically upon hearing the voice. Upon hearing Mo Xiao''s words, Fang Chang smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course I have to give you a reward! Tell me! What do you want! What I can get! I''ll definitely get it for you!" "Give me a red skill book," Mo Xiao said expressionlessly. Upon hearing this, Su Jiner, who was next to Mo Xiao, burst intoughter, "You really have no manners! Who can get that? Do you think everyone has your luck?" Fang Chang twitched the corners of his mouth a couple of times and said, "I definitely can''t get a red skill book¡­ Do you have anything simpler in mind?" "Skill books, essories with special effects, rare equipment, high-level equipment blueprints, and high-level materials. Just tell me what you have. I''m not very picky." Hearing Mo Xiao''s words, Fang Chang took a deep breath and said, "How about this? I''ll give you the position of Deputy City Lord. How does that sound?" "Huh?" Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Deputy City Lord? For Mo Xiao?? What on earth does Fang Chang want to do? Chapter 134 Dont Tell Me You Want to Steal My Disciple? Chapter 134 Don''t Tell Me You Want to Steal My Disciple? "How about it? The position of Deputy City Lord is the most significant one I can offer¡­ If it weren''t for the fact that the position of City Lord requires an appointment from the Hall of Heroes, I would want to give you the position of City Lord directly," Fang Chang said with eager anticipation on his face. Hearing Fang Chang''s words, not to mention Mo Xiao, even Jiang Shan and Su Jin''er beside him looked bewildered. "Fang Chang, what are you up to? There are only two Deputy City Lord positions in total, how can you easily give it to Mo Xiao?" Jiang Shan asked in suspicion. "Are you joking?" "I would never joke about something like this; I''m serious," Fang Chang said very seriously. "So, Mo Xiao, what do you say? If you agree, the position of Deputy City Lord is yours!" Mo Xiao frowned slightly and asked with some doubt, "What are the benefits of being Deputy City Lord?" "There aren''t many benefits, it''s just more convenient in this city, and it will force you to stay in this city. In the future, if there are any issues in the Yicheng Base City, you''ll have toe back and help." Upon hearing this, Su Jin''er said directly, "If you want this position, you can have it. It won''t have a significant impact on your future, but the benefits won''t be too great either. If I have to be honest, the troubles might outweigh the benefits a bit." Hearing this, Fang Chang quickly added, "You shouldn''t put it that way¡­ Well, Miss Su is right; it''s more trouble than benefit, but as long as you be the Deputy City Lord, I won''t trouble you with anything in the future. You can still enjoy the benefits, right?" Hearing Fang Chang''s words, Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If I be the Deputy City Lord, will I be a member of the City Lord''s Residence?" "If I join, does that mean I can''t join other forces?" "You don''t have to worry about that. The position of City Lord is rather special, especially the position of Deputy City Lord. It won''t affect your joining other forcester on. If you''re just in name, it won''t matter all the more," Su Jin''er replied directly. "It''s fine if it''s in name! As long as you want the position of Deputy City Lord, even if it''s in name, you will still enjoy the benefits that a Deputy City Lord should have!" Fang Chang quickly said. Listening to Fang Chang''s words, Mo Xiao understood his intentions in an instant. With his current strength and the way Yan Zhantian treated him, Mo Xiao was likely to be a disciple of a War God. Whether it was bing Yan Zhantian''s disciple or the Archmage''s disciple, both were big deals! In a small ce like Yicheng Base City, having such big figures supporting him would ensure that no one would dare to mess with him in the future. Seeing Fang Chang''s eager attitude, Mo Xiao didn''t immediately agree. After some thought, he said, "I''ll consider it for a while and give you an answer in a few days." "Alright, take your time to think about it," Fang Chang said, not pressing further. Mo Xiao said, looking around, "I suppose there''s nothing else for me here? If there''s nothing else, I''ll head home." "You can go back first. There''s nothing for you to do for the time being." Fang Chang thought for a moment and nodded slightly. Mo Xiao didn''t say anything more and turned to leave the city gate, heading towards the city. Su Jin''er quickly followed him, leaving the East City Gate together. Watching the two depart, Jiang Shan looked at Fang Chang with some confusion and asked, "Old Fang, you don''t really want Mo Xiao to be Deputy City Lord, do you?" "Why not?" Fang Chang nced at Jiang Shan. "He will be a disciple of a War God in the future. With that title, how many troubles can he save us from?" "Although that''s true, but¡­" Jiang Shan hesitated for a moment, ultimately not expressing his thoughts. "Alright, there''s no need for ''buts.'' Besides, it''s not something I can decide. Whether he wants to be Deputy City Lord or not is his choice," Fang Chang shrugged. "Let''s go back and minimize the losses from this situation." "Yes." ¡­ Meanwhile, on a street inside the city. "Junior brother, you seemed quite eager to be City Lord just now. Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Su Jin''er asked curiously. "I even told you about the method of bing a nominal City Lord." Mo Xiao nced at Su Jin''er, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, I didn''t think much about it. I just find it troublesome, and I''m not too fond of these kinds of things." "Being Deputy City Lord means power and benefits Aren''t you interested in this?" Su Jin''er teased when she heard this. "I''m a lone wolf by nature. I prefer to be on my own. Sometimes, affiliations and such are burdensome for me," Mo Xiao replied honestly. "Instead of thinking about these things, I''d rather focus on leveling up and hunting monsters." Su Jin''er heard Mo Xiao''s words and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Your thoughts seem quite simr to mine. I also feel that way¡ªjust focus on leveling up and bing strong. Affiliations and factions don''t matter to me at all." "I''ll head home for now. I''m curious about what might be in these boxes," Mo Xiao said. ¡­ At the same time, on a small hill outside Yicheng Base City. Yan Zhantian sat quietly on the peak, looking at the illusionary screen in front of him, seemingly waiting for something. After a while, the illusionary panel in front of him suddenly projected a light. The next moment, a graceful and charming woman slowly appeared in front of Yan Zhantian. "Yan Zhantian?" After seeing Yan Zhantian, the woman''s expression was clearly a little surprised."You, of all people, thought of reaching out to me suddenly? Are you trying to end your vacation early and cover my shift?" Hearing this, Yan Zhantian raised his eyebrows slightly. "Well, that''s not out of the question." "Huh? Did you say that? That doesn''t sound like something azy person like you would say." The woman''s face was filled with disbelief. "Do you have something to ask of me?" "Ah, hahaha, you saw right through me." Yan Zhantian scratched his head awkwardly. "Don''t even think about it! I''m telling you, I''ll never give you my Fire Dragon Crystal!" The woman refused without hesitation. Yan Zhantian was slightly stunned and quickly said, "No, I don''t want your Fire Dragon Crystal." "Then what do you want? What could make you call me personally?" The woman looked at Yan Zhantian in confusion, unable to think of anything that could make Yan Zhantian so concerned. Yan Zhantian thought for a moment and said, "Did that girl named Su not tell you anything?" "Jin''er? Oh¡­ you mean the disciple she introduced to me?" The woman recalled. "Yes, you seem to be in the vicinity of Yicheng Base City¡­" Thinking about it, the woman suddenly looked puzzled and asked, "You wouldn''t want to steal my disciple, would you?" Chapter 135 Opening the Treasure Chests Chapter 135 Opening the Treasure Chests Several minutester, in a luxurious apartment. Mo Xiao took out all the treasure chests he had from his backpack and ced them on the table in front of him. As for the luxurious apartment, it was arranged for him by Su Jin''er when she asked Fang Chang for it. While it couldn''tpare to mansions and vis, it was a significant upgrade from the cheap rental apartments that Mo Xiao used to live in. "Wow? You actually have four treasure chests on you?" Su Jin''er looked at the four boxes on the table with surprise. Normally, people would open these boxes as soon as they obtained them. However, besides the two treasure chests distributed during the city defense battle, Mo Xiao had two more. "Yeah, I''ve kept these treasure chests from before," Mo Xiao nodded. (Cough! I definitely won''t admit that I forgot about them and suddenly took them out!) Seeing this, Su Jin''er lightly tapped on one of the treasure chests, and the information about the chest appeared instantly. "These two are actually advanced material treasure chests?" Su Jin''er raised an eyebrow. "But material chests aren''t very useful to us. The materials obtained from them can only be sold." "No need, I have cksmithing skills," Mo Xiao replied directly. Upon hearing this, Su Jin''er first appeared puzzled, then smiled and said, "Oh right, I forgot. You''re a solo yer, and you can learn any skill. "Yes¡­" "Alright, I won''t waste any more time. Let''s open the chests. I''m curious to see how lucky you are," Su Jin''er said with anticipation. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao nced at Su Jin''er, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at her seriously. Seeing that Mo Xiao didn''t move, Su Jin''er turned to look at him and joked, "Why are you looking at me so seriously? You''re not trying to confess, are you?" Just as Mo Xiao was about to speak, he heard this and almost choked on his own saliva. He coughed violently a few times Then he red at Su Jin''er and said, "No way!" "Alright, alright, I won''t tease you anymore. Tell me, what''s the matter? Why so serious?" Su Jin''er asked with a smile. Mo Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Sister, what I''m about to tell you involves my most important secret, and I hope you can keep it for me." "Keep it?" Su Jin''er suddenly became alert, her eyes filled with anticipation. She nodded vigorously and said, "Sure, I''ll definitely keep your secret. What is it?" Seeing Su Jin''er''s eager expression, Mo Xiao sighed and then gently rubbed one of the treasure chests. Immediately, a gentle light shed across the treasure chest. Immediately, the entire treasure chest changed, and its appearance clearly became more advanced. [You rubbed the high-level material treasure chest. The high-level material treasure chest has been upgraded to a top-level material treasure chest!] [You rubbed the high-level material treasure chest. The high-level material treasure chest has been upgraded to a top-level material treasure chest!] Instantly, a soft light passed over the treasure chest, and the entire chest transformed noticeably, looking more advanced than before. "You upgraded this chest, didn''t you?" Su Jin''er eximed when she saw the change. "I can''t believe your talent allows you to upgrade treasure chests!" "Yes, this is the secret I wanted you to keep," Mo Xiao said seriously. "This is my biggest secret, and it''s how I''ve been able to reach my current strength so quickly. I hope you won''t tell anyone." Hearing this, Su Jin''er grinned and said, "You dare to tell me such a secret? Aren''t you afraid I''ll sell you out?" Mo Xiao, after hearing this, was momentarily silent and then said, "You''ve already guessed the secret of my skill replication, and you''re my senior sister. I trust you won''t betray me." "Wow, your words are almost moving!" Su Jin''er chuckled. "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely keep this secret. But I have one condition." "What condition?" Mo Xiao immediately frowned. "Your ability must be more than just upgrading treasure chests, right?" Su Jin''er asked. "Yes, I can upgrade equipment and skill books as well," Mo Xiao nodded. "No wonder your equipment and skills are so overpowered¡­" Su Jin''er muttered. "I just need you to upgrade my equipmentter. It''s a simple request, what do you think?" Mo Xiao hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Of course, it''s a small favor." "Great, great, now open the remaining two chests. I''m eager to see what''s inside the top-tier material treasure chest!" Su Jin''er urged. "Okay¡­" Hearing this, Mo Xiao directly picked up the top-notch material treasure chest. [You have opened a top-notch material treasure chest! You have obtained 1 Illusory Stone!] "Illusory Stone?" Seeing this name, Mo Xiao was also stunned. He had spent so much effort to get one, and here he was directly getting one? "This is good stuff! If you have the blueprint for the Illusory Pearl, you can use the Illusory Stone to forge the Illusory Pearl. Then, you can go to all the ces you''ve been to without consuming anything!" Su Jin''er looked at the Illusory Stone and said with a smile. "I have use for the Illusory Stone for the time being, so I can''t use it to forge anything else," Mo Xiao said directly. "Oh, I see. Alright, we''ll talk about it when we get the Illusory Stone in the future." Su Jin''er nodded and looked at the other treasure chest. [You have opened a top-notch material treasure chest! Obtained Dark Gold Mother Stone x2!] Seeing this, Mo Xiao was stunned. So the treasure chest gave him what he needed? The amount he was given was just right¡­ When Su Jin''er saw Mo Xiao''s expression, she asked with a strange expression, "You''re not going to use this thing too, are you?" "Well¡­ it just so happens to be something for the same equipment," Mo Xiao said truthfully. "Good lord, what do you want to forge? You want two top-notch materials? Speaking of things like illusory stones and dark gold mother stones, just using one of them can forge very ridiculous equipment. You''re actually rubbed these two?" Su Jin''er asked in surprise. "What equipment are you forging? Do you have a blueprint? Can you show it to me?" she asked curiously. When Mo Xiao heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "It''s considered an exclusive equipment for solo yers. You''ll know when I forge it." "Great, great, now open the remaining two chests. I''m eager to see what''s inside the top-tier material treasure chest!" Su Jin''er urged. "Yes¡­" Mo Xiao nodded and picked up the chests to rub them. [You rubbed the City Defense Treasure Chest. The City Defense Treasure Chest has been upgraded to a Heaven Element Chest!] [You rubbed the Hero Treasure Chest. The Hero Treasure Chest has been upgraded to an Intermediate-level Hero Treasure Chest!] "You upgraded the City Defense Chest into a Heaven Element Chest!" Su Jin''er was surprised as she looked at the chest. "This one might contain some really good items!" Chapter 136 - 136: Battlefield Transportation Stone Chapter 136: Battlefield Transportation Stone Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°There might be some good stuff inside here,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with anticipation. ¡°Good stuff? What kind of good stuff?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin¡¯er with some confusion. ¡°What good stuff?¡± Su Jin¡¯er thought for a moment and said, ¡°I can¡¯t say for sure. After all, it¡¯s a treasure chest, like a blind box, so there¡¯s some randomness to it.¡± Listening to Su Jiner¡¯s seemingly pointless exnation, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but give her a nk look. He proceeded to open the treasure chest in his hand. [You¡¯ve opened the Heaven¡¯s Element Treasure Chest and obtained a special item: Beginner Battlefield Teleportation Stone.] [Beginner Battlefield Teleportation Stone: It can teleport you to any ce you¡¯ve been to in the Tianyuan Battlefield! It can be used as a group teleportation, with an upper limit of 100 people. It can be used inbat! Usage: 5/5] ¡°Battlefield Teleportation Stone?!¡± Upon seeing this teleportation stone, even before Mo Xiao could speak, Su Jin¡¯er jumped up with disbelief on her face. ¡°You actually got this?!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao, puzzled by Su Jiner¡¯s reaction, asked, ¡°What¡¯s so special about this thing? Isn¡¯t it just a teleportation stone? You can teleport directly on the map, though it will consume some experience points.¡± Su Jiner shook her head and said, ¡°The Tianyuan Battlefield is different from the outside. It¡¯s like a special instance withpletely different rules. ¡°Don¡¯t even talk about map teleportation; even if you use teleportation scrolls and town return scrolls, they won¡¯t work,¡± Su Jiner exined seriously. ¡°And this one can even be used in a group and during battles. For a rapidly changing battlefield, it¡¯s truly a rare and valuable item.¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s exnation, Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully. ¡°Mo Xiao, you probably won¡¯t have much use for this thing¡­ How about you sell it to me? 1 can give it to Teacher,¡± Su Jiner suggested. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, 1 won¡¯t shortchange you. I¡¯ll pay whatever it¡¯s worth.¡± Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin¡¯er and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a useless teleportation stone. You can have it.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao took out the teleportation stone from his backpack and rubbed it. [You rubbed the Beginner Battlefield Teleportation Stone! The Beginner Battlefield Teleportation Stone has been upgraded to an Intermediate Battlefield Teleportation Stone!] [You rubbed the Intermediate Battlefield Teleportation Stone! The Intermediate Battlefield Teleportation Stone was upgraded to an Advanced Battlefield Teleportation Stone!] [Advanced Battlefield Teleportation Stone: It can teleport you to any ce you¡¯ve been to in the Tianyuan Battlefield! It can teleport in groups, with an upper limit of 1,000 people! It can be used inbat! Usages: 50/50] ¡°Wait, you can actually upgrade this thing by rubbing it?!¡± Su Jiner eximed in shock, looking at the Advanced Battlefield Teleportation Stone that Mo Xiao handed her. And why can you rub it twice?¡± Mo Xiao replied truthfully, ¡°Items of blue quality or higher can be rubbed twice, excluding treasure chests.¡± ¡°Advanced Battlefield Teleportation Stone¡­¡± What kind of concept was this teleportation stone? If this teleportation stone were given to a war god or a leader among humans, they could lead a thousand people into battle the moment it started. If they felt they couldn¡¯t win, they could escape with a thousand people. No matter how one looked at it, this thing was a strategic item. ¡°You¡¯re really giving this to me just like that? If you sold this to Yan Zhantian, you could probably get an orange-quality skill book in exchange,¡± Su Jiner said in disbelief. ¡°Yes¡­¡± Mo Xiao nodded and didn¡¯t say anything else. He directly picked up another treasure chest. [You¡¯ve opened the Intermediate Hero¡¯s Treasure Chest and obtained a special item: Master¡¯s Trial Certificate!] [Master¡¯s Trial Certificate: A test certificate from a special race. You can start the test with this certificate.] ¡°Master¡¯s Trial Certificate?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the unique badge glowing with purple light in his hand with some confusion. He asked, ¡°Senior Sister, do you know what this is?¡± ¡°Master¡¯s trial?¡± Su Jiner thought for a moment and then shook her head slightly. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of it, and 1 haven¡¯t seen anything like this in the Tianyuan Battlefield. Is it an item that can be used?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try,¡± Mo Xiao said, operating the badge in his backpack. [No trial entrance detected. Unable to use.] ¡°No, you have to find the trial entrance,¡± Mo Xiao shook his head. Su Jin¡¯er thought for a moment and suddenly suggested, ¡°Hey, why don¡¯t you try rubbing this thing too? See if it can be upgraded?¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow, wondering why Su Jin¡¯er seemed more experienced at this. [The Master¡¯s Trial Certificate is a special task item and cannot be upgraded!] ¡°No, this item is a task item and can¡¯t be upgraded,¡± Mo Xiao exined. ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see if we encounter a trial entrance in the future.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Su Jin¡¯er nodded. After putting away the teleportation stone, she asked Mo Xiao, ¡°What are you nning to do next? Continue leveling up here, or something else?¡± Mo Xiao fell into silence for a moment and then shook his head. ¡°1 don¡¯t know. We only have a month and a half left until the college entrance exam, and it might be tough to keep leveling up.¡± ¡°After reaching level 25, it seems like it takes over a million experience points to level up each time,¡± Su Jin¡¯er nodded. ¡°Unless you go level up in a secret realm.¡± When Mo Xiao heard the words ¡®secret realm,¡¯ he became more alert. ¡°Senior Sister, do you know any secret realm locations?¡± ¡°I do, but it¡¯s not suitable to go now,¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao and shook her head. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°We only have a month and a half left until the college entrance exam, and in most secret realms, you need to spend at least two months toplete all the tasks and gain all the experience. If you leave midway ande back, you¡¯ll have to redo the previous prerequisite tasks, which will waste a lot of time,¡± Su Jin¡¯er exined. ¡°Although 1 know you¡¯re very strong, you¡¯ve been to secret realms before, and you should know that many secret realm tasks require going back and forth. It¡¯s not something you can speed through with just superiorbat power.¡± Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°I understand. In that case, I¡¯ll stay in Yicheng and run dungeons for now. We can consider secret realms after the college entrance exam. ¡°What about you, Senior Sister?¡± ¡°Me? I¡¯m preparing to return to the Tianyuan Battlefield,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said. ¡°1 have to give that teleportation stone to Master first. Transactions aren¡¯t possible in the Tianyuan Battlefield, so 1 have to personally deliver it to her.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Mo Xiao nodded again and suddenly said, ¡°However, Senior Archmage is going to host the Tianyuan Battlefield. How will she watch the college entrance exam once it starts?¡± Su Jin¡¯er grinned mischievously. ¡°Hehe, she has disciples, you know.¡± ¡°Senior Sister, you¡­¡± ¡°Yes, a few senior brothers and sisters and I will be guarding the Tianyuan Battlefield during the college entrance examination. But don¡¯t worry, 1¡¯11 watch your exam through the system¡¯s broadcast..¡± Chapter 137 - 137: Blueprint for the Thousand Mechanisms Umbrella??? Chapter 137: Blueprint for the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre??? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios After chatting with Mo Xiao for a while, Su Jin¡¯er gave all her equipment to Mo Xiao, allowing him to rub them. Under Mo Xiao¡¯s rubs, the originally orange set sessfully evolved into a red set. ¡°Your talent is really too overpowered. If this was a real game, I would definitely be the first to report you.¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked at her attribute value, which had almost doubled because of the red set, and her face was full of excitement. ¡°After I helped you upgrade your equipment, you still want to report me?¡± Mo Xiao chuckled. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve already helped you guard the city. 1 should go back. Master has just sent me a message asking me to look for her,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a smile. Mo Xiao nodded and didn¡¯t say much. ¡°Alright, stay safe.¡± ¡°With this red equipment, even monsters thate at me will end up killing themselves,¡± Su Jin¡¯erughed and waved to Mo Xiao. ? Mo Xiao looked puzzled and walked over to Su Jin¡¯er subconsciously. Seeing this, Su Jiner directly rubbed Mo Xiao¡¯s head with both hands. ¡°You, young man, you¡¯re still so serious all the time, like an old man. Can¡¯t you have some youthful energy? Level up well! Don¡¯t disappoint me during the college entrance exam. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m leaving!¡± As Su Jin¡¯er spoke, her body instantly lit up with a gentle blue light. In the next moment, her entire body directly turned into countless blue light spots and disappeared. [Su Jin¡¯er rubbed against you, and the Blink skill has been copied!] [Blink: Consumes Mana Points to teleport yourself to any location within sight! Consumes: 100 MP. CD: 30 seconds.] ¡°Basic skills for mages, right? Seems pretty good,¡± Mo Xiao stretchedzily and blinked directly onto a nearby bed. ¡°Level 25, the attributes seem sufficient. 1 feel like I can rx at home for a while.¡± ¡°Phew, that guy finally left! She scared me to death!¡± Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s ear. The next moment, an illusory figure appeared beside him. ¡°Sword Emperor?¡± Mo Xiao was stunned at the sudden appearance of this illusory figure. It had to be said that he had almost forgotten about the Sword Emperor amid all the recent events. ¡°What¡¯s with that expression? Did you forget about me?¡± The Sword Emperor said somewhat exasperatedly. Mo Xiao smiled awkwardly. ¡°No, of course not.¡± ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have given her the teleportation stone from the battlefield,¡± the Sword Emperor said, ignoring Mo Xiao¡¯s reply. ¡°That thing is very useful in the Tianyuan battlefield, a lifesaver. Yet, you gave it to her so easily. You¡¯re really a spendthrift.¡± Mo Xiao gave the Sword Emperor a nce. ¡°I¡¯m a lone wolf. That thing is of little use to me, and my survival skills are more than enough.¡± The Sword Emperor fell silent for a moment upon hearing this and then sighed. ¡°You¡¯re too carefree. You haven¡¯t encountered true despair. Your survival skills won¡¯t be enough on the Tianyuan battlefield.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you wish me well?¡± Mo Xiao red at the Sword Emperor. He had been nning to lie down on the bed for a while, but he sat up instead. ¡°What are you nning to do next? Level up or practice your skills with me?¡± the Sword Emperor asked. Mo Xiao shook his head. ¡°Neither. I want to craft an equipment.¡± ¡°Equipment?¡± The Sword Emperor wondered. ¡°Is it the one that requires Illusory Stones and Dark Gold Mother Stones as materials?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± ¡°What kind of equipment is that that requires such high-level materials?¡± the Sword Emperor asked curiously. ¡°You¡¯ll know when I make it,¡± Mo Xiao said as he activated the God Forging Technique. At the same time, he ced all the materials on the table. ¡°Death Spiderweb X18, Dragon Bone x8, Illusory Stone xi, Dark Gold Mother Stone xi, Third-grade Dark Iron X9¡­¡± Looking at the materials on the table, Mo Xiao thought for a moment, then rummaged through his backpack. A strange tooth appeared in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand. [Fang of the Dragonite: A tooth from the Dragonite, possessing the most special power in the world. It¡¯s a coveted treasure for cksmiths!

A Dragonite¡¯s Tooth?!¡± As Mo Xiao was about to start forging, the Sword Emperor, who had never seen such a treasure, eximed, ¡°Where did you get this? A Dragonite, a legendary divine beast! You actually managed to kill one?¡± Hearing the Sword Emperor¡¯s astonishment, Mo Xiao was at a loss. ¡°Who said you have to kill a Dragonite to get its tooth? Shut up and don¡¯t disturb me while I¡¯m forging.¡± Ignoring the Sword Emperor¡¯s amazement, Mo Xiao adjusted his focus and slowly opened the blueprint for the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre. ¡°Forge!¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, the Dragonite¡¯s Tooth instantly emitted a dazzling golden light, transforming into a small dragon. It picked up all the materials, flew into the center of the forging interface, and began to spin rapidly. [Ding, Divine Smithing Art special effect triggered! 50% increase in attack power!] [Ding, Divine Smithing Art special effect triggered!

Auto Guard: After assembling a shield, it automatically shields the host from danger. Transformation: None at the moment. Soulbound: This equipment is bound to Mo Xiao and cannot be dropped, stolen, or traded. ¡°Why are there no attributes? Isn¡¯t this a rainbow-level equipment?¡± Mo Xiao was initially excited when he saw the Rainbow quality, but he was dumbfounded when he looked at the panel. The weapon didn¡¯t have any attributes, just a few seemingly useless skills. Did he waste all those materials for nothing? [Hint: This equipment is highly unique. You must feed it with all types of weapons to unlock its attributes and the ability to undergo a thousand changes.] ¡°Feed? Is this thing a living creature?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre in front of him with a strange expression. Mo Xiao thought for a moment, and with that thought, a dark red longsword appeared in his hand. [Dragon God Steel Sword] This was an equipment Mo Xiao had acquired earlier, but he hadn¡¯t used it much since he had obtained the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. Now, he decided to use it to test something.. Chapter 139 - 139: Blueprint for the Thousand Mechanisms Umbrella Chapter 139: Blueprint for the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [Thousand Mechanisms Umbre (Sword)] Quality: Rainbow Attack Power: 3,500 Strength: 1,000 Endurance: 400 Physique: 250 Critical Strike: 40% Ingenious Craftsmanship: This sword has special materials, extremely heavy, and a unique method of sharpening. The terrifying weight,bined with an incredibly sharp de, grants the user an invincible effect during attacks, ignoring all control and 90% of defense. Moreover, each attack applies a gravity restraint effect on the target, reducing its speed by 30% for 3 seconds. Four Symbols Protection: Possesses the powerful defense of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts. The wielder gains a shield equivalent to 100% of his health and can resist a fatal attack once. When the immunity effect is triggered, it also releases a healing effect equal to 50% of health.

Soulbound: This equipment is bound to Mo Xiao and cannot be dropped, stolen, or traded. Not to mention the few almost bug-like skills below, just this attack power of 3,500 was enough. A single sh was enough to sever someone¡¯s major arteries. Staring at the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre in his hand, Mo Xiao was stunned for a while. Then, he slowly turned to the Sword Emperor beside him and asked, ¡°Do you think¡­ now that I have this equipment, do 1 still need to learn any techniques?¡± ¡öI 11 Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s question, even the Sword Emperor was stunned for a while before he said, ¡°Although these two pieces of equipment are indeed quite overpowered, they won¡¯t be of much use against true experts.¡± ¡°True experts¡­ Are there such beings among the monsters?¡± Mo Xiao asked with some confusion. When the Sword Emperor heard this, he fell silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Kid, you have to understand one thing. Sometimes, we humans ourselves are our greatest enemies.¡± Mo Xiao instantly fell silent. He naturally understood this truth. It was very difficult to get humans to work together. Sometimes, some people would attack theirpanions for insignificant things. It was not humans that were vulnerable, but the human heart. Thinking of this, Mo Xiao sighed softly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll learn. However, wait for me to finish these things first. In the month and a half before the college entrance examination, I¡¯ll learn fighter techniques from you.¡± ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll wait for you to assemble this Thousand Mechanisms Umbre.¡± As the Sword Monarch spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and returned to Mo Xiao¡¯s body. After the Sword Emperor left, Mo Xiao took out the Flying General Longbow and another Four Symbols Heavy Sword. Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°I wonder what will happen when 1 merge these two swords.¡± Muttering, Mo Xiao directly picked up the Four Symbols Heavy Sword and touched the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre that had fused with the Dragon God Steel Sword. Immediately, the system notification sounded again. [A more powerful sword-type equipment has been detected. Do you want to rece it?] ¡°Can it still be reced?¡± Hearing this prompt, Mo Xiao was surprised but didn¡¯t hesitate and agreed to the recement. Instantly, the attributes of the two Thousand Mechanisms Umbres became identical. Mo Xiao looked at the Dragon God Steel Sword that had separated from the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre, picked up the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre, and directly touched the Dragon God Steel Sword. [Detected red sword-ss equipment. Do you want to devour it?] Seeing the system prompt, Mo Xiao hesitated for a moment and then firmly confirmed it. In the next moment, a colorful light instantly emerged from the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre, enveloping the Dragon God Steel Sword beside it and rapidly returning to the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre. [Devour sessful! Attack power +500, Lifesteal rate increased by 5%, Critical Strike rate increased by 10%, Skill Sacrificial Power has been obtained! ] ¡°It seems this Devour skill is quite powerful. It not only grants increased attack power and special attributes but also retains the skills.¡± Mo Xiao looked at the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre, which now had an additional 500 attack power, and nodded in satisfaction. After putting away the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre, Mo Xiao merged the longbow into another Thousand Mechanisms Umbre. In an instant, Mo Xiao¡¯s long-rangebat ability increased by a level. Half an hourter, in the City Lord¡¯s office. ¡°Jiang Shan, how did it go this time? How many casualties?¡± Fang Chang asked Jiang Shan, who had returned to the office. Jiang Shan sighed and said, ¡°Two-thirds of the soldiers have died, but the professionals suffered only about 10% casualties. Especially in the East District. Not a single one has died.¡± ¡°East District? Where are Mo Xiao and the others?¡± Fang Chang looked at Jiang Shan in surprise and asked, ¡°Have you asked why?¡± ¡°I did. They said that when the battle started, Mo Xiao ordered them not to engage and directly faced all the monsters with Miss Su. They said they could handle it.¡± Jiang Shan replied with some helplessness. ¡°All we can say is, extraordinary people are extraordinary, and we can¡¯tpare to them.¡± Upon hearing this, Fang Chang chuckled and said, ¡°Su Jin¡¯er is indeed formidable, being the disciple of the War God and all. But how can Mo Xiao be so strong? Isn¡¯t he only level 25?¡± ¡°Only? Have you considered how long he¡¯s been in his new profession? Without this strength, he probably won¡¯t be able to reach level 25!¡± Jiang Shan said faintly. ¡°That¡¯s true. This is all fate!¡± Just as Fang Chang and Jiang Shan were sighing, the office door suddenly opened and a familiar figure walked in. ¡°Mo Xiao? Why are you here?¡± Fang Chang was initially surprised but then warmly asked, ¡°Have you decided whether you want to be the Deputy City Lord?¡± Mo Xiao nced at Fang Chang and then rolled his eyes. ¡°No, I want to buy some good equipment, at least blue-grade. But 1 don¡¯t know where to go, so 1 came to find you guys.¡± Upon hearing this, Fang Chang felt a bit disappointed and sighed. But soon, he said, ¡°Let Jiang Shan take you; he brought you there before, didn¡¯t he?¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang Shan and then shook his head. ¡°I¡¯d rather not. My rtionship with the Jiang family is a bit delicate; it wouldn¡¯t be easy to ask them for help.¡± ¡°Well¡­ Jiang Shan?¡± Fang Chang looked at Jiang Shan and said, ¡°It¡¯s up to you.. See if this kid is willing toe with me!¡± Chapter 140 - 140: Take Anything? Then Can I Take Them All? Chapter 140: Take Anything? Then Can I Take Them All? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything. It mainly depends on whether you are willing toe with me.¡± Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao and said calmly. When Mo Xiao heard this, his expression changed slightly. He subconsciously looked at Jiang Shan and asked, ¡°1 killed Jiang He, and you¡¯re still willing to help me?¡± ¡°You killed Tao Yaoyao, the one who controlled Jiang He. Didn¡¯t you resurrect Jiang He?¡± Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao and sighed helplessly. ¡°You¡¯ve done our Jiang family a favor. Why would we me you?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment and said, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll trouble you.¡± Jiang Shan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Mo Xiao¡¯s words. What Mo Xiao worried about, the Jiang family also worried about. After all, to them, Mo Xiao had saved the Jiang Family. After they were controlled by the Scarlet Evil Spirit, it was Mo Xiao who saved them. Not only did Mo Xiao not me them, but he also used a resurrection tool to revive Jiang He. This was a huge favor! Even if Su Jin¡¯er had not warned them at that time, they would definitely return this favor. ¡°What do you need? Tell me. Our Jiang family still has a lot of equipment in stock,¡± Jiang Shan said. ¡°We have a lot of purple and blue equipment.¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao nced at Jiang Shan and said, ¡°What if 1 say that I want orange ones?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Shan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then, he gritted his teeth and extended his right hand in front of Mo Xiao. At the same time, a simple dagger appeared in Jiang Shan¡¯s hand. ¡°This is the weapon I¡¯ve been using. Although its level is a little high, it¡¯s indeed orange equipment. If you need it, just take it.¡± Looking at Jiang Shan¡¯s pained expression, Mo Xiao was somewhat surprised. He immediately smiled and said, ¡°Forget about your weapon. 1 want level 35 equipment. Anything above blue is fine. Of course, the higher the quality, the better.¡± ¡°What equipment? Armor? The one you¡¯re wearing looks awesome. Why do you need something else?¡± Jiang Shan asked curiously. Mo Xiao thought for a moment. ¡°Let¡¯s talk outside.¡± Hearing this, Fang Chang, who was eavesdropping at the side, scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll take you to the Jiang Family first. You haven¡¯t been there yet, right?¡± Jiang Shan nodded and left the City Lord¡¯s Residence with Mo Xiao. Watching the two of them leave, Fang Chang sighed lightly, lost in thought. ¡°Is there a secret you have to hide from Fang Chang?¡± As they left the City Lord¡¯s Residence, Jiang Shan became lively again and asked curiously. Mo Xiao replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s considered a secret, but it¡¯s the blueprint you gave mest time. I¡¯ve already created it.¡± ¡°The blueprint I gave you?¡± Jiang Shan was puzzled for a moment but quickly realized, ¡°You mean the Thousand Mechanism Umbre? You¡¯ve made it?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°This equipment is rather special. It needs to be assembled into different types of equipment, so I¡¯m going to get some other equipment.¡± Although the blueprint for the Thousand Mechanism Umbre was initially in Jiang Shan¡¯s hands, he didn¡¯t know its abilities and attributes, only that it was a suitable equipment for solo yers. ¡°I see. Is blue equipment enough? Do you want me to get you something better?¡± Jiang Shan thought for a moment and asked. ¡°No need. High-quality equipment can only be chanced upon by luck. Even if there is, it might not be what I need.¡± Mo Xiao shook his head and said, ¡°Where can I find equipment? Take me there first. 1 have to see if there¡¯s anything 1 want.¡± Jiang Shan nodded, ¡°Although the Jiang family is not a major n, we still have some blue and purple equipment.¡± ¡°Can I just go to your Jiang family¡¯s warehouse and take the equipment? Won¡¯t the Jiang family mind?¡± Mo Xiao asked with some doubts. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that when I walk in, the Jiang family¡¯s people will attack me.¡± ¡°I told you, didn¡¯t 1? You¡¯ve done us a favor, and now we don¡¯t have the face to see you. We don¡¯t hold any grudges against you,¡± Jiang Shan said with a bitter smile. ¡°I¡¯ll say it again, whatever you want, as long as the Jiang family has it, we can give it to you with just one word from you.¡± Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment and did not say anything. He followed behind Jiang Shan and walked towards the Jiang family. Ten minutester. The two arrived at the Jiang family, and it was Mo Xiao¡¯s first visit. ¡°Uncle Shan, you¡¯re back¡­¡± Just as Jiang Shan was about to take Mo Xiao straight to the Jiang family¡¯s warehouse, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. She hadn¡¯t finished speaking when she froze, ¡°Mo, Mo Xiao¡­¡± It was none other than Jiang He. ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Shan was at a loss for words when he saw Jiang He. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn¡¯t say anything. Mo Xiao, as if he hadn¡¯t heard Jiang He¡¯s voice, continued walking forward. Seeing Jiang Shan stop, Mo Xiao turned around and looked at him, ¡°What are you standing there for? Let¡¯s go.¡± Jiang Shan looked at Jiang He beside him, smiled bitterly at him, and quickly said, ¡°Coming,ing.¡± Watching the two of them leave quickly, a hint of disappointment shed across Jiang He¡¯s face. She returned to the main hall without a word. Jiang Shan looked at Jiang He¡¯s back and then back at Mo Xiao, sighing with a touch of heartache. ¡°Mo Xiao, weren¡¯t you on good terms with Jiang He? Why¡­¡± ¡°Jiang He is already dead. I have no rtionship with the eldest daughter of your Jiang family, let alone a good rtionship,¡± Mo Xiao said in a very t tone, showing no emotional fluctuations. Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang Shan sighed deeply but didn¡¯t say anything more. He continued to lead Mo Xiao towards the warehouse. At this moment, in the main hall, Jiang Ran looked up at Jiang He, who had returned, and said, ¡°Jiang Shan brought Mo Xiao here?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang He nodded weakly. ¡°What did Mo Xiao say?¡± Jiang Ran paused and asked. Jiang He smiled bitterly and shook her head, ¡°He didn¡¯t even acknowledge me.¡± ¡°We are not on the same level as him. Since he doesn¡¯t want to acknowledge us, we shouldn¡¯t insist¡­ I will find a way to repay his kindness,¡± Jiang Ran said in a low voice. ¡°Okay, Dad.¡± ¡°This is our Jiang family¡¯s warehouse. You can take whatever equipment you want,¡± Jiang Shan said generously. Mo Xiao followed Jiang Shan into an inconspicuous room. As soon as he entered, he was captivated by the equipment stored in the warehouse. Even the lowest-quality items on the shelves were blue. There were all kinds of equipment, and if Mo Xiao took everything he wanted, the Jiang family would definitely skyrocket in power. ¡°Can I take anything I want? Then can I take them all?¡± Chapter 141 - 141: Perfect Thousand Mechanisms Umbrella! Chapter 141: Perfect Thousand Mechanisms Umbre! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Can I take anything I want? Then can 1 take them all?¡± Mo Xiao nced at Jiang Shan and asked. As soon as he said this, Jiang Shan¡¯s body stiffened, and he awkwardly replied, ¡°Ahaha, I was just joking. Do you think I¡¯m just letting you take everything?¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Mo Xiao rolled his eyes in disdain. ¡°But why are your equipment piled up here? Don¡¯t you have something like a warehouse system?¡± When Jiang Shan heard this, he raised his hand and operated a few times. Suddenly, a massive system panel appeared in front of them. ¡°This is the system warehouse, but 1 made it look more intuitive and impressive earlier.¡± With that, Jiang Shan manipted the panel a bit, and the interface was refreshed. What was originally several hundred pages of warehouse items was reduced to just a few dozen. ¡°I¡¯ve filtered out weapons and shields. You can pick whatever you need,¡± Jiang Shan said as he pushed the system panel towards Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao wasted no time and started selecting items from the panel. He already had a sword and a bow. So what he needed now were a shield, a dagger, a staff, a spear, firearms, and knuckle dusters. By integrating these into the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre, his attack style would be incredibly versatile. Not only would it confuse his opponents, but it might even bewilder himself. Soon, Mo Xiao had selected the equipment he needed and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take these.¡± ¡°Wow, you¡¯re taking so much? Are you going to integrate all of them into your Thousand Mechanisms Umbre?¡± Jiang Shan was very surprised by the number of items Mo Xiao had chosen. He had originally thought Mo Xiao would just pick a few items casually. He did not expect him to take so much in one go. ¡°Do you think I¡¯ve taken too much?¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow, looking at Jiang Shan with an odd expression. ¡°It¡¯s not a problem. You¡¯re just taking some blue and purple equipment, not orange ones. You can take them,¡± Jiang Shan said magnanimously. ¡°Thank you,¡± Mo Xiao expressed his gratitude calmly. Jiang Shan chuckled and shook his head. ¡°No need to be polite. But, can I watch the assembly process?¡± ¡°No,¡± Mo Xiao replied without hesitation. ¡°This is my secret, and I can¡¯t let anyone know.¡± Jiang Shan sighed in resignation. ¡°Alright, if you don¡¯t want to share, I won¡¯t insist.¡± ¡°Maybe 1 can spar with you once I¡¯ve finished assembling it. Then you¡¯ll see what kind of equipment this is,¡± Mo Xiao shrugged and packed the selected equipment into his backpack. ¡°I¡¯m leaving now.¡± ¡°Train well, and I¡¯ll be waiting to see your performance in the college entrance exam in a month and a half!¡± Mo Xiao waved his hand and left the Jiang family without saying much. After returning home, Mo Xiao immediately took out all the equipment from his backpack. Although there were many items in Jiang¡¯s family warehouse, purple-quality items were quite rare. Mo Xiao had only taken two purple items¡ªa shield and a long spear. The rest were blue. ¡°Blue equipment? Your Thousand Mechanisms Umbre is a rainbow-quality item! Are you trying to pass it off with just blue equipment?¡± At this point, the Sword Emperor emerged from Mo Xiao¡¯s body and looked at the blue equipment on the ground, furrowing his brows. Even he thought that Mo Xiao was lowering the level of the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre. ¡°Forget about directly integrating them?¡± Mo Xiao nced at the Sword Emperor with a hint of annoyance. ¡°Have you forgotten about my talent?¡± ¡°Your talent?¡± The Sword Emperor was initially puzzled but soon realized. ¡°Right! I forgot your most extraordinary ability!¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t bother with the Sword Emperor and began rubbing each piece of equipment one by one. [You rubbed the soldier¡¯s shield! The soldier¡¯s shield sublimated into the knight¡¯s shield!] [You rubbed the Knight¡¯s Shield! The Knight¡¯s Shield evolved into the Guardian¡¯s Shield!] [You rubbed the Soldier¡¯s Spear! The Soldier¡¯s Spear evolved into the Knight¡¯s Spear!] With a series of system notifications, the blue-quality equipment transformed into orange-quality equipment, and the purple-quality items upgraded to red-quality. Their attributes received significant boosts. ¡°This should be enough. Let¡¯s start the integration.¡± [Detected shield-type weapons. Do you want to integrate?] With the sound of the system prompt, Mo Xiao quickly integrated the equipment into two separate Thousand Mechanisms Umbres. A few minutester, the originally silver-colored umbres became even more splendid due to the integration of these items. [Thousand Mechanisms Umbre] Quality: Rainbow Attack Power: 4,300 Magic Strength: 4,300 Strength: 800 Physique: 500 Agility: 300 Spirit: 800 Critical Strike: 50% Lifesteai: 30% Evasion: 30% Defense: 3,000 Thousand Mechanisms Array: Summons a Thousand Mechanisms Array that traps the enemy within for 3 seconds, dealing five times the yer¡¯s attack power in magic damage. Thousand Mechanisms Dance: Enters the Thousand Mechanisms Dance state, increasing attack speed by 100% and attack power by 50% for 8 seconds. Thousand Mechanisms Wall: Uses special materials from the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre to create a protective wall that can block all attacks for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 20 seconds. Thousand Mechanisms Cannon: Opens the umbre surface to form a special cannon that inflicts high physical damage on enemies within a thousand yards. Thousand Mechanisms Illusion: Allows the user to switch positions with the umbre. Devour: Can consume all types of equipment to enhance its own attributes! Auto Guard: After assembling a shield, it automatically protects the host from danger. Thousand Transformations: It can transform into swords, shields, fists, staffs, spears, and many other forms. After transforming, its attributes and skills will undergo a huge change! Mo Xiao was astonished as he looked at the attributes of the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre in his hand. After integrating these items, the umbre¡¯s attributes became versatile, and it even gained two additional skills. The attack power and magic power, exceeding 4,000 each, were nothing short of godlike. Moreover, it possessed the ability to devour equipment. If Mo Xiao kept feeding it other weapons, who knew what kind of monstrous weapon it would be in the future. ¡°With this Thousand Mechanisms Umbre, I¡¯m sure to do well in the college entrance exam!¡± Mo Xiao eximed excitedly. The Sword Emperor, wearing a puzzled expression, responded, ¡°With your attributes and equipment, you probably wouldn¡¯t have had any problems even without this equipment, unless your entrance exam is held in the Heaven-reaching Tower.¡± ¡°What is the Heaven-reaching Tower? Is there something wrong with this tower?¡± Hearing this term again, Mo Xiao was also stunned and asked in confusion. ¡°You know about the Heaven-reaching Tower?¡± The Sword Emperor was also surprised that Mo Xiao was aware of the existence of the Heaven-reaching Tower. Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°1 heard from the War God that the college entrance examination is in the Heaven-reaching Tower.¡± Hearing this, the Sword Monarch was instantly stunned. Then he looked at Mo Xiao with an extremely strange expression. ¡°Then I¡¯m afraid your equipment is useless..¡± Chapter 144 - 144: A Month and a Half Chapter 144: A Month and a Half Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios A month and a halfter, in an empty square in Yicheng Base City. ¡°In the past month and a half, you seem to have chosen all the awesome people in our base city.¡± Jiang Shan looked at Mo Xiao, who was carrying two Thousand Mechanisms Umbres on his back, and said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re not looking for me today to challenge me, are you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a challenge.¡± Mo Xiao looked at Jiang Shan calmly. ¡°I¡¯m looking for you to hone my fighter jet skills.¡± ¡°Is there a difference?¡± The corners of Jiang Shan¡¯s mouth twitched twice, clearly speechless at Mo Xiao¡¯s words. ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Xiao nodded lightly and said, ¡°Challenges determine victory and defeat, and the loser loses face. Sparring is just for fun. Victory or defeat doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Hearing this, Jiang Shan opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond. ¡°You sure know how to talk.¡± ¡°So, shall we spar?¡± Without waiting for Jiang Shan¡¯s answer, an invitation to spar appeared in front of him. ¡°Then, let¡¯s fight.¡± Looking at the interface in front of him, Jiang Shan directly clicked ept. He had not seen Mo Xiao for a month and a half. He didn¡¯t know exactly how strong Mo Xiao was, but he knew one thing. This kid¡¯s level had definitely increased. Hisbat ability must have been greatly enhanced. ¡°Come on, let me see how much you¡¯ve improved in the past month and a half!¡± [Ding, Jiang Shan epted your invitation to spar!] [The sparring is about to begin! Please be prepared!] As the system prompt sounded, Mo Xiao quickly took down the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre from behind him. Mo Xiao¡¯s hands shook slightly, and the two Thousand Mechanisms Umbres transformed. The surface of the umbre quickly shrank and slid down, turning into a small sword case. In a few breaths, the slender umbre turned into an exquisite long sword. As for the other one, the umbre expanded, and the handle instantly shortened, directly transforming into a shield half the height of a person, protecting Mo Xiao. Looking at the weapon in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand, Jiang Shan raised his eyebrows. ¡°Is this the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre? It can transform into various weapons. It¡¯s indeed the most suitable weapon for solo yers.¡± As Jiang Shan spoke, a light shed in his hand and a dagger instantly appeared in his hand. [The battle begins!] With the system¡¯s order, Jiang Shan instantly disappeared. On the other hand, Mo Xiao suddenly turned around and pped the shield in his hand horizontally. ¡°Ding!¡± A sound of metal collision rang out. Jiang Shan¡¯s attack was instantly blocked by Mo Xiao¡¯s shield. [Shield Form: When you resist the opponent¡¯s attack at the perfect time, you will be immune to 100% damage.] ¡°Perfect block?¡± Jiang Shan was momentarily stunned upon seeing this. While he was in a daze, the longsword in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand shed horizontally at Jiang Shan. Without another word, Jiang Shan instantly activated his skill, and his entire body instantly split into two positions as if he had teleported. -1,000 As soon as he pulled away, he felt a sharp pain in his thigh. Mo Xiao, who should have been unable to reach him, had actually stabbed his calf. Just as Jiang Shan was feeling strange, he suddenly realized that the longsword in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand had unknowingly turned into a long spear, and the attack range had instantly increased by several times. Not to mention two bodies, even Mo Xiao, who was five bodies, could stab him. ¡°Wow, can you switch weapon forms during an attack?¡± Seeing this, Jiang Shan couldn¡¯t help but exim. Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°Yes, 1 specially didn¡¯t hit your weakness. Let¡¯s fight for a while longer.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s facial muscles twitched when he heard Mo Xiao¡¯s words. ¡°1 was wondering why your damage was so low. It seems like you¡¯re letting me¡­¡± ¡°No, 1 just want to fight with you for a while longer.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, another mechanical deformation sound sounded in his hand. The sharp de at the top of the spear directly turned into a dazzling crystal. ¡°A staff?¡± [Staff Form: Increases control time by 100%, increases magic effects by 100%, and reduces casting speed by 100%!] ¡°me Entanglement!¡± In an instant, Jiang Shan felt a wave of heat beside him as countless fiery vines appeared out of thin air and entwined him. Seeing this, Jiang Shan¡¯s body suddenly became illusory, and then he soared into the sky, leaving behind an afterimage on the ground, causing the fiery vines to miss their target. He then rushed towards Mo Xiao once more. However, just as he took his second step, he suddenly noticed a small pit that had appeared on the otherwise smooth ground, right where he was about tond. This small pit happened to be at his foothold. In the next moment, he stepped into it and tumbled to the ground. ¡°Buzz!¡± The moment he fell, a strange sound of energy gathering slowly sounded. Jiang Shan suddenly looked up. The weapon in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand had already turned into two hand cannons and was rapidly umting power. [Cannon Form: Obtains the ability to umte power to attack. After umting power, it can cause 150% physical attack and 150% magical attack.] ¡°Bang! Bang!¡± Apanied by the sound of two cannonballs being fired, two huge explosions instantly erupted near Jiang Shan. -600 -600 Obviously, Mo Xiao had held back again and slightly moved the muzzle of the cannon to avoid killing Jiang Shan directly. After observing Mo Xiao for a while, Jiang Shan grinned. ¡°Interesting. Can 1 have some fun with you?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Xiao nodded, but before he could say anything, Jiang Shan disappeared again. Seeing Jiang Shan suddenly disappear, Mo Xiao felt a sharp pain behind him before he could react. [-300] ¡°Good lord, your defense is quite high. This sh only took 300 HP from you?¡± Hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s voice, Mo Xiao immediately turned around, but he did not see Jiang Shan¡¯s figure. ¡°Swoosh!¡± [-200] Another sound of rushing air, and Jiang Shan¡¯s attack struck again. Even with Mo Xiao¡¯s rapid reflexes, he couldn¡¯t keep up with Jiang Shan¡¯s movements. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you really think I¡¯m a Muggle?¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s figure slowly appeared, but what appeared were two Jiang Shans. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, level 77 Phantom Hunters specialize in speed.¡± ¡°Swoosh! Swoosh!¡± As he spoke, two more air-piercing sounds sounded. ¡°Ding! Ding!¡± The Thousand Mechanisms Umbre in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand had transformed into dagger form, swiftly blocking Jiang Shan¡¯s attacks. [Dagger Form: Attack Speed increased by 300%! Critical hit effect increased by 100%!] ¡°You blocked that?¡± The two Jiang Shans looked at Mo Xiao with iparable surprise. He hadn¡¯t expected this kid to keep up with his attack speed. Although this was a game, Jiang Shan¡¯s attack angles were quite tricky, and Mo Xiao shouldn¡¯t have been able to react so quickly to them. In the split second that Jiang Shan was stunned, Mo Xiao suddenly appeared in front of him and his equipment seemed to disappear. He then delivered a powerful punch to Jiang Shan¡¯s chest.. Chapter 145 - 145: College Entrance Examination Chapter 145: College Entrance Examination Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [Ding, Jiang Shan¡¯s HP has reached zero! Victory has been decided! Winner, Mo Xiao!] [You vigorously rubbed against Jiang Shan. The skill ¡®Shadow Clone¡¯ has been replicated!] [Shadow Clone: Split into a clone identical to yourself. The clone has 10% of its own attributes. After splitting into three clones, its attack speed and movement speed will increase by 200% at the same time!] [Ding, the more you fight, the braver you be. Congrattions on obtaining 5,000 experience points!] [Congrattions on reaching Level 30. All attributes have increased by 5 points, and you have obtained 10 free distribution attributes.] Listening to the system prompt, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. After one and a half months, he had finally reached level 30! ¡°Your weapon¡¯s transformation was a bit exaggerated, don¡¯t you think? How did you defeat me in the end?¡± Jiang Shan, still nursing his slightly painful stomach, walked over and looked at Mo Xiao with a puzzled expression. ¡°Oh, the boxing gloves are in their highest damage form, so it¡¯s more suitable to rush in and finish quickly,¡± Mo Xiao answered truthfully. ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s expression turned as if he had tasted something awful. ¡°Finishing quickly? I¡¯m at level 70-something, and you think it¡¯s reasonable to knock me out with one punch?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I hit you twice before?¡± Mo Xiao said very casually. ¡°Damn it! You call those a couple of hits? You were so afraid of knocking me out? You were deliberately going easy on me, weren¡¯t you?¡± Jiang Shanined. Mo Xiao shrugged. ¡°1 just wanted to spar with you for a bit longer. Who could have known you¡¯d be so disappointing?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Jiang Shan was at a loss for words. Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Jiang Shan almost cursed. ¡°Alright, fine! I don¡¯t want to deal with you anymore! ¡°Looks like you¡¯ve improved quite a bit in the past month and a half.¡± Jiang Shan took a deep breath to calm his emotions and looked at Mo Xiao. ¡°However, I have to remind you that the college entrance examination is different from things like leveling up in dungeons. Your attributes and equipment won¡¯t be of any use inside.¡± ¡°I know,¡± Mo Xiao said. ¡°It seems that Miss Su has already told you about the Heaven-reaching Tower. It¡¯s good that you know.¡± Jiang Shan nodded and said, ¡°But there¡¯s one thing you can rest assured about. There are all kinds of equipment inside, including the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre that has been assembled like you.¡± ¡°Even the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre?¡± Mo Xiao was a bit surprised by this information. The Sword Emperor didn¡¯t know about this, so how did Jiang Shan know? Jiang Shan nodded. ¡°Well, I can¡¯t say it¡¯s there, but the Heaven-reaching Tower was created by thews of the world, so it naturally takes everything into ount.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°The Heaven-reaching Tower has a scanning function that can scan your equipment. Self-made weapons like the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre can be replicated inside, but the attributes will be simr to other equipment. However, this unexpected transformation ability can still be replicated,¡± Jiang Shan said truthfully. ¡°I see,¡± Mo Xiao nodded, suddenly enlightened. Even though he had been using his Thousand Mechanisms Umbre mainly for its attribute suppression, he had spent over a month getting familiar with its versatile capabilities. It would be a pity if he couldn¡¯t use it. Now that he had finally used it, it would be a pity if he couldn¡¯t use it. Watching Mo Xiao lost in thought, Jiang Shan said, ¡°Alright, you should go back and make your final preparations. We¡¯re leaving this afternoon.¡± ¡°Leaving? Where to?¡± Hearing Jiang Shan¡¯s words, Mo Xiao was a bit puzzled, not understanding what he meant by setting off. ¡°Huh? The college entrance exam is tomorrow. We need to leave for the capital this afternoon,¡± Jiang Shan said matter-of-factly, then looked at Mo Xiao with a strange expression. ¡°You do know that, right?¡± ¡°Ahaha¡­¡± Mo Xiao scratched his head awkwardly. He only knew the approximate timing, which was a month and a half, but he didn¡¯t know the exact departure date. ¡°¡­Fine,¡± Jiang Shan sighed in resignation. ¡°Now you know, right? Go back and prepare. Meet at the teleportation array at two in the afternoon. I¡¯ll send you there.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and turned to leave the square. Watching Mo Xiao¡¯s departure, Jiang Shan shook his head with a wry smile. ¡°I hope this kid can achieve good results!¡± With that, Jiang Shan leaped and disappeared. A few minutester, Mo Xiao also returned home andy directly on the bed. ¡°Is the college entrance examination about to begin¡­¡± Thinking of this, Mo Xiao took a deep breath and said, ¡°Open the character panel and put all the attributes into Strength.¡± Following Mo Xiao¡¯s order, the character panel appeared in front of Mo Xiao again. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao HP: 24,600/24,600 Mana Points: 106,680/106,680 Level: LV30 (0/2000,000) Profession: Solo yer Strength: 654 (+1,510) Agility: 385 (+900) Spirit: 269 (+4,420) Endurance: 265 (+800) Physique: 265 (+1,400) Looking at the increasingly abnormal interface, Mo Xiao grinned, ¡°This awesome attribute is still the best. I really don¡¯t know how much my attributes will drop after entering the Heaven-reaching Tower.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not even a tenth of your panel.¡± At this moment, the Sword Emperor floated out again. ¡°However, with your current ability and skills, that bit of attributes is enough.¡± ¡°What is the Heaven-reaching Tower trying to do? Why haven¡¯t you told me?¡± Mo Xiao asked doubtfully. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to tell you, but it¡¯s useless even if I tell you. The trial of the Heaven-reaching Tower doesn¡¯t sound like much. Only by participating will you know the true difficulty.¡± The Sword Emperor shrugged and said, ¡°For example, the first level only let you kill ten monsters. It might not seem like much to you now. ¡°However, under the circumstances, with the environment and the status of the attributes, it might be very difficult to kill 10 monsters.¡± Hearing the Sword Emperor¡¯s words, Mo Xiao could only nod. In any case, the exam would begin tomorrow. Even if the Sword Emperor did not say anything, he would be able to see it tomorrow. Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s calm expression, the Sword Emperor said, ¡°How is it? Are you nervous? It¡¯s starting tomorrow.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be nervous about.¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°Why are you so confident in yourself?¡± The Sword Emperor teased. ¡°I think it doesn¡¯t matter whether my results are good or bad. Anyway, it doesn¡¯t affect my life, nor does it affect me from continuing to level up.¡± Mo Xiao said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s better if it¡¯s better. If it¡¯s not good, it¡¯s not good. I can¡¯t die anyway.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing this, the Sword Emperor covered his face speechlessly. ¡°There¡¯s definitely something wrong with your thinking!¡± ¡°Is that so? Then there is,¡± Mo Xiao said indifferently. ¡°Compared to the results, I¡¯m more curious about what the battle in the Heaven-reaching Tower is. I¡¯m more curious about which level I can climb to.¡± ¡°With my guidance, reaching the 20th level in one go is definitely achievable!¡± the Sword Emperor confidently dered. ¡°The 20th level?¡± Mo Xiao was silent for a moment. ¡°Then I¡¯ll set my goal on the 30th level.. Humans have to have dreams, right?¡± Chapter 146 - 146: The Capital’s Yanlong Base City Chapter 146: The Capital¡¯s Yanlong Base City Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Then I¡¯ll set my goal on the 30th level.¡± Mo Xiao said after a moment of consideration. The Sword Emperor raised an eyebrow, ¡°Reaching the 30th floor on your first attempt at the Heaven-reaching Tower is a rare achievement. Even I, in my initial tower ascent, only reached the 29th level.¡± ¡°One has to have dreams in life; what if 1 make it?¡± Mo Xiao shrugged and flopped onto the bed. ¡°Sword Emperor, 1¡¯11 take a nap; wake me up in a bit.¡± Ignoring whether the Sword Emperor agreed or not, Mo Xiao fell asleep. Only the Sword Emperor¡¯s soul was left floating in ce. Looking at Mo Xiao lying on the bed, the Sword Emperor raised his head and looked into the distance. He said faintly, ¡°The Heaven-reaching Tower¡­ 1 haven¡¯t seen it for hundreds of years. I wonder what it has be¡­¡± Three hourster. In the teleportation square of Yicheng Base City. Hundreds of new candidates were gathered in the square. The chattering was iparably noisy. Just before two o¡¯clock, Mo Xiao leisurely entered the square. Hearing themotion, Mo Xiao frowned and found a corner to stand in, closed his eyes, and patiently waited for the teleportation array to activate. Before long, two figures appeared on the teleportation square. ¡°Quiet!¡± Apanied by Jiang Shan¡¯s voice, the previously bustling square instantly fell silent, and everyone¡¯s gaze turned toward Jiang Shan. When Mo Xiao heard this, he raised his eyelids and nced at Jiang Shan before closing them again. After all, in this situation, it was obvious that the City Lord or Deputy City Lord was about to speak. Mo Xiao had no interest in such content at all. He might as well take a nap. Next to the teleportation array, Jiang Shan frowned as he surveyed the area. After seeing Mo Xiao resting with his eyes closed, he let out a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Hello, fellow students. It has been two months since yourst profession transfer! ¡°I don¡¯t know how far you¡¯ve progressed in your cultivation, but among those I know, some have reached level 30! They¡¯re on the verge of their second profession transfer! ¡°To those who are overconfident, thinking they¡¯ve secured their sess in the exam, I suggest you think twice about whether you can surpass them!¡± After half an hour of Jiang Shan¡¯s idle talk, he finally cleared his throat and said, ¡°Alright! 1 won¡¯t waste any more time on nonsense. Teleportation array, activate!¡± As Jiang Shan¡¯s words rang out, a blue light appeared beside him, and the teleportation array immediately lit up. ¡°This is the teleportation array to the capital! The teleportation array can only transport 100 people at a time. Please enter one by one; don¡¯t rush!¡± With that, the candidates on the square entered the teleportation array one by one and were sent to the capital. Mo Xiao followed thest group of people into the teleportation array. ¡°Mo Xiao, you can do it. Yi City¡¯s reputation is in your hands!¡± Jiang Shan grinned. Hearing this, Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going?¡± ¡°This time, Fang Chang will lead the team. I have to stay in Yi City,¡± Jiang Shan said truthfully. ¡°Alright, wait for my good news.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and walked into the crowd. With a sh of blue light, Mo Xiao disappeared from the teleportation array with thest batch of candidates. After a few breaths, Mo Xiao slowly opened his eyes. What greeted his eyes was a huge square that was even grander than Jiangnan Base City. At this moment, the square was filled with people, and in midair, there were illusory screens. The screen corresponded to different cities. On the other hand, Yicheng Base City was thest few cities. Clearly, they were the weakest cities. As Mo Xiao and the others arrived, the teleportation array that was originally flickering with light slowly extinguished. Clearly, they were thest to arrive. Just as Mo Xiao was looking around, a loud voice instantly sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. ¡°Good afternoon, everyone! Wee to the capital, Yanlong Base City! I¡¯m the city lord here, Chu Feng.¡± Following Chu Feng¡¯s voice, a figure appeared out of thin air above the city. ¡°I know that everyone is here to participate in the college entrance examination, which will take ce tomorrow morning at nine. Today, please rest well in Yanlong Base City today. ¡°I hope you can achieve good results tomorrow!¡± Chu Feng said in a deep voice. Dozens of middle-aged men entered the venue one after another and led all the candidates in the square out of the teleportation za, heading towards the residential area of the base city. Looking at the crowd leaving like a tide, Chu Feng slowlynded back on the ground. He looked at the man beside him who was recording something and asked, ¡°How many people havee for the college entrance examination this year?¡± ¡°A total of 36 base cities participated. ording to the statistics, there are 4,271 people.¡± The man looked at the information in his hand and answered truthfully. Chu Feng furrowed his brows when he heard this. ¡°Over 4,000¡­ it¡¯s indeed significantly fewer thanst year.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do about it. This year, the demons attacked the base city, so a sharp decline in the number of people is unavoidable,¡± the man said helplessly. ¡°Sigh, that¡¯s true.¡± Chu Feng sighed helplessly. ¡°How¡¯s the preparation for the examination venues?¡± ¡°The Heaven-reaching Tower is almost ready and can be entered at any time. However, the first two exam venues are still under preparation,¡± the man answered truthfully. ¡°Why is it taking so long?¡± Chu Feng frowned in puzzlement. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. After all, these two venues were added this year, and they require a lot of manpower,¡± the man said with a wry smile. ¡°But, may I ask, why are you insisting on adding these two exams? The candidates¡¯ abilities can be tested in the Heaven-reaching Tower anyway.¡± ¡°Although we can test their abilities, it takes too long. Only 10 people can enter the Heaven-reaching Tower at the same time. If we don¡¯t eliminate some candidates beforehand, each exam would take more than 10 days. It¡¯s too time-consuming. By removing a portion now, it will speed up the process,¡± Chu Feng exined calmly. The man fell silent for a moment before asking, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that this way, you might miss out on some talented individuals?¡± ¡°If they can¡¯t even pass these two exams, they¡¯d be wasting time in the Heaven-reaching Tower,¡± Chu Feng said calmly. ¡°Alright, prepare for the entrance exam content quickly; it starts tomorrow.¡± ¡°Yes! City Lord!¡± ¡°Is this your current main city? It¡¯s huge!¡± the Sword Emperor marveled as he circled Mo Xiao. ¡°It is indeed enormous, and this square alone seems asrge as half of Yicheng Base City,¡± Mo Xiaomented. ¡°I wonder why it¡¯s so big.¡± ¡°Perhaps in the past, they kept all humans in this one city and only expanded after conquering other territories?¡± the Sword Emperor spected. ¡°Maybe,¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m just here to take an entrance exam. 1 won¡¯t be staying here..¡± Chapter 147 - 147: The College Entrance Examination Begins Chapter 147: The College Entrance Examination Begins Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Yanlong Base City, outside the Heaven-reaching Tower. Chu Feng strode to the entrance of the Heaven-reaching Tower. At the entrance, a graceful woman stood quietly, as if waiting for something. ¡°Junior Chu Feng greets Senior Archmage.¡± Chu Feng hurriedly bowed after seeing the woman. The woman at the entrance of the Heaven-reaching Tower was Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s master, the Archmage Yao Shi¡¯er. Upon seeing Chu Feng¡¯s actions, Yao Shier¡¯s expression was somewhat strange. ¡°In modern society, why are you so formal?¡± Yao Shier said with a hint of amusement. ¡°Ahaha¡­ Cough, where¡¯s that Fire God?¡± Chu Feng scratched his head awkwardly and quickly changed the topic. Hearing this, Yao Shi¡¯er pointed at the Heaven-reaching Tower behind her and said, ¡°He said he hasn¡¯t climbed the tower in a long time, so he decided to go in and have some fun.¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Before Chu Feng could react, the Tiantian Tower¡¯s doors opened directly, and Yan Zhan Tian walked out leisurely. ¡°I can¡¯t do it anymore. I¡¯ve beenzy for too long. I only climbed about 60 levels before getting kicked out. It¡¯s so embarrassing.¡± Yao Shier rolled her eyes at Yan Zhan Tian and said, ¡°You know you¡¯ve beenzy. After this college entrance examination, you shoulde with me to the Tianyuan Battlefield for some exercise.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not my turn to be on duty yet! How can you make me go so early?¡± Yan Zhan Tian grumbled. Watching the two war gods arguing, Chu Feng felt awkward and said, ¡°Um¡­ War gods, what brings you here?¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have any particr business, just checking on how the college entrance examination preparations are going,¡± Yao Shier said gently. Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°Preparations are almostplete. All the examinees have arrived in Yanlong Base City. They will rest for half a day today and start the assessment tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°I heard you¡¯ve added two extra tasks this time,¡± Yan Zhantian suddenly asked as if he remembered something. Chu Feng quickly nodded, ¡°Yes, to eliminate some candidates. Otherwise, each assessment takes too long, wasting too much time. I n to conduct one assessment in the first two days and the Heaven-reaching Tower assessment on thest day.¡± Yan Zhantian rubbed his chin and said, ¡°Alright, do whatever you want.¡± ¡°Yes, I will manage the assessments properly,¡± Chu Feng replied earnestly. ¡°By the way,¡± Yan Zhan Tian continued, ¡°Have the examinees from Yicheng Base City arrived?¡± ¡°Yi City?¡± When Chu Feng heard that name, he was momentarily puzzled. He quickly checked his notes and said, ¡°They have all arrived. Do you have any instructions?¡± ¡°Good, they¡¯ve arrived. No specific instructions,¡± Yan Zhantian nodded. ¡°For this college entrance examination, reserve three seats for us to observe. We want to watch.¡± ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll arrange it,¡± Chu Feng agreed. Yao Shier thought for a moment and said, ¡°Make it three seats. I¡¯m bringing my disciple.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°And, for the preliminary assessment, put Yicheng Base City first. There¡¯s nothing else to do. You can go now.¡± After saying that, Yan Zhantian and Yao Shier continued to bicker and walked away. Only Chu Feng was left alone. ¡°Yicheng Base City? What¡¯s so special about this ce?¡± He looked at the two people leaving in a daze. The man next to Chu Feng thought for a moment and said, ¡°There¡¯s a rumor that during this college entrance examination, the War God might be taking on a disciple. Could it be that they have a potential candidate in Yicheng Base City?¡± Chu Feng¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. ¡°I see¡­¡± ¡°In such a small ce as Yicheng Base City, are there really any talented individuals? Instruct them to increase the selection criteria for Yicheng Base City and try to eliminate all the candidates from that city!¡± Upon hearing this, the man beside Chu Feng was also momentarily surprised but nodded, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll give the order.¡± The next day, in the early morning. Mo Xiao and the others were led to what was called the examination venue by the staff. The so-called examination venue was a massive square with no constructions. It was divided into numerous small rooms using countless wooden boards. Each room could amodate about 300 people. ¡°Huh? Weren¡¯t we supposed to go to the Heaven-reaching Tower for the college entrance examination? What¡¯s going on here?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, some examinees also realized that something was wrong and frowned. As the content of the college entrance examination was well-known, it was clear that this time it was different from previous years. Just as everyone was feeling perplexed, Chu Feng appeared again before them. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Chu Feng, and we met just yesterday. ¡°I¡¯m sure many of you know that in the past, the college entrance examination took ce in the Heaven-reaching Tower. ¡°But this time, we¡¯re here, and many of you must be wondering why. ¡°I¡¯m here to exin.¡± ¡°The Heaven-reaching Tower is an incredibly mystical high tower, much like a dungeon, created by thews of the world, and it has its own rules of operation. ¡°Only 10 people can enter at a time because its testing efficiency is too slow. So, to avoid long waiting times, I¡¯ve added two additional assessments!¡± ¡°The main goal is to filter out those who are qualified to enter Heaven-reaching Tower!¡± ¡°As for how much you can keep, it depends on your own strength!¡± ¡°Next! The college entrance examination begins! Candidates from Yicheng Base City, please enter!¡± Following Chu Feng¡¯s voice, the square instantly became noisy again. Yicheng Base City? What kind of small ce was this? It could be said that other than Yicheng Base City itself, no one had ever heard of this ce. ¡°Yicheng Base City? What kind of ce is that? Why should they start first?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! Shouldn¡¯t the locals of Yanlong Base City go first?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! I object!! Why should we wait so long?!¡± Hearing themotion beside him, Mo Xiao frowned unhappily. ¡°Kid, I have a feeling that something might be amiss here.¡± Just then, the Sword Emperor suddenly appeared, looking serious. ¡°Something amiss? What do you mean?¡± Mo Xiao asked, puzzled. ¡°I don¡¯t know the specifics, but it¡¯s just my intuition.¡± The Sword Emperor furrowed his brow and looked around. ¡°Adding two extra assessments suddenly and making Yicheng Base City go first, especially the way he looked just now, it¡¯s definitely not good!¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Mo Xiao twitched his lips after hearing the Sword Emperor¡¯s words. ¡°So, you¡¯re going purely by your imagination?¡± ¡°This is what they call a strong person¡¯s intuition! At my level, I¡¯ve relied on my intuition to avoid countless dangers!¡± The Sword Emperor said proudly. ¡°Yet you¡¯re still alive?¡± Chapter 148 - 148: The First Assessment Begins! Chapter 148: The First Assessment Begins! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Whether 1 live or die, it¡¯s none of your business! Just be careful!¡± The Sword Emperor red at Mo Xiao fiercely, then seemed to sense something and instantly retreated into Mo Xiao¡¯s body. ¡°Damn it! That little girl from that day is here. I¡¯ll take my leave. Good luck!¡± Before Mo Xiao could react, the Sword Emperor fell silent. Seeing this, Mo Xiao frowned slightly. Puzzled, he raised his head and looked around, but he did not see Su Jin¡¯er. ¡°Never mind, let¡¯s enter the assessment room first.¡± Mo Xiao muttered casually and walked into the square following the crowd. At this moment, in a viewing tform to the north of the square, Su Jiner sat obediently beside Yao Shier, her lively eyes searching for Mo Xiao in the crowd. ¡°Stop looking. There are so many people. You won¡¯t be able to find Mo Xiao.¡± Yan Zhantian crossed his legs and said. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! Who told you that I¡¯m looking for him! I¡¯m just looking around!¡± Su Jin¡¯er retorted unhappily. Yan Zhantian shrugged. ¡°Suit yourself.¡± ¡°Alright, Jiner, sit tight. The assessment is about to begin, and you¡¯ll be able to lock onto your targetter,¡± Yao Shier said with a smile. ¡°Okay.¡± Su Jiner reluctantly withdrew her gaze and stopped fidgeting. ¡°Where¡¯s Chu Feng? Hasn¡¯t that guy returned yet?¡± Yan Zhantian casually looked outside and asked when he didn¡¯t see Chu Feng. ¡°He should be back soon. The candidates have already begun to enter the venue. He¡¯s probably already made arrangements,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said as the door not far away suddenly opened. Only then did Chu Feng arrive. Seeing that the three of them had arrived, Chu Feng said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I was arranging the personnel responsible for the assessment. I¡¯m here now.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, but Chu Feng, can you tell us what the content of today¡¯s assessment is?¡± Yan Zhantian waved his hand and got straight to the point. ¡°I hope you can be patient and wait a bit. You¡¯ll find out once the assessment begins,¡± Chufeng smiled and didn¡¯t reveal the assessment content immediately. When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other and did not say anything. They quietly waited for the assessment to begin. At the same time, Mo Xiao slowly walked into the small room for the assessment. A man in uniform was standing in the room. When the man saw Mo Xiao enter the room, he said, ¡°Candidate No. 124, hello. I¡¯m your proctor.¡± ¡°Proctor? One for each person?¡± Seeing this person, Mo Xiao was also a little surprised. How many proctors had been arranged for Yanlong Base City this time! ¡°Yes,¡± the proctor nodded. ¡°You can call me ¡®teacher.''¡± ¡°Alright, teacher. What do I need to do now?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the small room, which had almost nothing in it except for the proctor, with some confusion. Upon hearing this, the teacher raised his right hand, and Mo Xiao suddenly noticed a small blue magic circle under his feet. ¡°This is¡­ a teleportation array?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the array and was stunned. He looked at the proctor in front of him in confusion. It seemed that the examination venue was not at this ce. The proctor nodded slightly. ¡°Yes, the test venue is not here. After the test officially begins, I will teleport you to the real test venue.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned. He suddenly remembered what the Sword Emperor had said about danger. Because Mo Xiao now had a very bad feeling in his heart. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, the proctor smiled and reassured him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Although the assessment is not here, it¡¯s safe. You have nothing to fear; it won¡¯t harm you.¡± ¡°I hope so.¡± Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°Then what¡¯s the content of the assessment?¡± The proctor nced at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°You¡¯ll find out the specific content after you¡¯ve been teleported. I can¡¯t tell you right now.¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s brow furrowed again upon hearing this, and he didn¡¯t say anything more. He closed his eyes and stood quietly, waiting for the assessment to begin. About 10 minutester, the invigtor suddenly took a step back and said, ¡°Candidate No. 124, Mo Xiao, please enter the teleportation array. The exam is about to begin!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao slowly opened his eyes and strode into the teleportation array. [The teleportation array is about to activate! 5, 4, 3, 2,1! Activate!] As the system notification sounded, the teleportation array under Mo Xiao¡¯s feet instantly erupted with a dazzling blue light. Immediately, Mo Xiao disappeared, along with all the examinees in the square. As the blue light disappeared, Mo Xiao slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was an incredibly lush primitive forest. ¡°Primitive forest?¡± Seeing this forest that even sunlight could not prate, Mo Xiao instantly frowned. At this moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s ear. [Wee to Assessment Zone 1, the Death Forest!] [You must survive here and make your way to the center of the forest. To prevent candidates from lingering, a poisonous gas will be released along the perimeter every ten minutes, deducting your life percentage! ] [Only 10 candidates will be left in this assessment. Give it your all to survive!] [The assessment begins! Defeat your opponents and survive! ] As the mechanical voice sounded, a huge countdown appeared in Mo Xiao¡¯s field of vision. ¡°Survival? Poison zone? Defeat opponents? Like a battle royale?¡± Mo Xiao was somewhat bewildered by the system¡¯s instructions. These rules sounded very much like a certain battle royale video game from his previous life, except this assessment allowed only 10 survivors. While these rules might sound simple, they were still quite challenging for ordinary people because it essentially meant fighting against everyone else. However, for Mo Xiao, it was a straightforward task. After all, no one from the Yicheng Base City was his match. Mo Xiao¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he looked at the dark primeval forest. He tookrge strides and walked deeper into the forest. Meanwhile, outside, Chu Feng was rapidly typing on the chat interface. ¡°How are the arrangements going?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, City Lord. We¡¯ve increased the density and strength of the forest¡¯s creatures in the Death Forest. We also have 10 Level 2 professionals acting as hidden obstacles. We¡¯ve also lowered the number of candidates who can pass.¡± ¡°Good, keep up the good work. Once I find the person the War Gods are interested in, I¡¯ll let you know. Try your best to eliminate him in this round. Understood?¡± ¡°Yes! Understood!¡± Just as Chu Feng was chatting, Yan Zhantian¡¯s voice suddenly sounded, ¡°Little Chu, the exam has begun. Can you exin the rules to us?¡± ¡°Okay, here we go!¡± Chapter 149 - 149: Target? You Can’t Target Him At All! Chapter 149: Target? You Can¡¯t Target Him At All! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios On the spectator stand, Yan Zhantian and the others nodded thoughtfully as they listened to Chu Feng¡¯s introduction. ¡°Indeed, surviving in the primeval forest can indeed test a person¡¯s abilities to the fullest.¡± Yan Zhantian nodded in satisfaction. ¡°However, isn¡¯t this a little too dangerous for the candidates?¡± ¡°In a world where the strong prey on the weak, danger is normal, isn¡¯t it?¡± Chu Feng said lightly. ¡°Our future depends on them, and they can only carry the banner if they can avoid danger.¡± ¡°That makes sense.¡± Yan Zhantian nodded slightly. Of course, he wasn¡¯t worried about Mo Xiao but rather Mo Xiao¡¯s enemies. He genuinely feared that others might be instantly killed by Mo Xiao. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the students each have someone monitoring them individually. If there¡¯s any life-threatening situation, they will be immediately teleported back,¡± Chu Feng reassured. ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Yan Zhantian said, shifting his gaze to the screen in front of them. He raised his hand to search briefly, and Mo Xiao¡¯s image appeared instantly. Behind them, Chu Feng looked at Mo Xiao on the screen and a sinister smile crept onto his lips. Inside the Death Forest at this moment: Mo Xiao casually released a bursting fireball, not even drawing his weapon, and directly killed the huge wild boar in front of him. ¡°A level 15 wild boar? It seems this difficulty is lower than 1 expected.¡± Muttering, Mo Xiao looked at his information panel. ¡°No experience, no drops, a pure trial area? How boring.¡± Just as Mo Xiao continued to walk forward, a figure suddenly ran towards Mo Xiao from the front with a terrified expression. ¡°Brother! Save me! There¡¯s a powerful monster ahead! Save¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, countless trees wrapped around this person. Then, Mo Xiao raised his hand and aimed at this person, saying, ¡°Teleport him away. You should have seen my damage just now. He couldn¡¯t withstand it, and you didn¡¯t have time to react.¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, the person was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, a blue light shed, and the person was instantly teleported away. ¡°It seems that you can hear me.¡± Mo Xiao had only tried tomunicate just now, but he didn¡¯t expect it to really work. Although the rule was to kill everyone, this was just a test. The proctors might intervene and teleport people away if they saw that someone was in danger. Mo Xiao¡¯s damage was terrifying, and his attack speed was astonishing. With a single raise of his hand, he could turn his opponent into a corpse. While showing mercy wasn¡¯t in Mo Xiao¡¯s nature, this was just an assessment, and there was no need to be so ruthless. Suddenly, Mo Xiao felt a slight tremor in the ground and carefully examined the pitch-ck forest in front of him. In the next moment, countless wild boars rushed out of the forest, charging straight towards Mo Xiao. Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao remained motionless, and he took out two Thousand Machine Umbres from behind him. One of them turned into a bow, while the other turned into an arrow. ¡°Rain of arrows!¡± With a light chant, the arrow in his hand instantly turned into a streak of light and flew out. In an instant, it burst open above the wild boar herd, raining arrows down like a storm. In just a few seconds, the entire wild boar group was wiped out. The arrows that had been shot out also flew back into Mo Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°Did I overkill?¡± Mo Xiao stroked his chin and put away the Thousand Machine Umbres, continuing to move forward. Twenty minutester. ¡°What are you all doing? Why hasn¡¯t this guy, Mo Xiao, encountered any trouble? Haven¡¯t you applied random events to him?¡± Outside the spectator stand, Chu Feng asked angrily. ¡°We¡¯ve all released it, but it¡¯s useless. This guy can even deflect lightning strikes with his shield. He¡¯s too abnormal¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± When Chu Feng heard this, he was stunned for a long time before saying, ¡°What about the 10 level 2 professionals? Didn¡¯t they send them?¡± ¡°Three went, and they were all beaten back.¡± When Chu Feng heard this, he couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. ¡°¡±This is just a candidate! Three level 2 professionals couldn¡¯t defeat him? Are you kidding me? No matter how strong he is, there should be limits! Do you have his attribute panel?¡± ¡°No¡­ we can¡¯t detect it. He has the skill to block detection.¡± Chu Feng gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Then send all 10 level 2 professionals to surround him! If they can¡¯t kill him, then hold him down and use the Death Breath!¡± ¡°Lord, if we use Death Breath, the entire area will be affected by a continuous bleeding debuff, and the next assessment may not go well¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter; just provide our people with items to counter the debuff. As for the others, it doesn¡¯t matter. As long as we don¡¯t kill him, we can go all out!¡± ¡°Understood¡­¡± Another five minutes passed, and Mo Xiao stood quietly in the center of the map. No one dared to approach him. The remaining dozen or so people all hid far away, sparring with each other. They were all from Yicheng Base City, so they naturally knew Mo Xiao¡¯s capabilities. Confronting Mo Xiao was simply seeking death. As for roping him in, there was no need to consider it at all. This guy was unmoved by force or persuasion. Just as Mo Xiao grew bored and didn¡¯t know what to do, a fireball suddenly whizzed towards his face. Mo Xiao raised his eyelids but remained motionless, allowing the fireball to hit his face. [-1] ¡°What the hell? Why didn¡¯t it work?¡± At this moment, a man in a ck robe walked out from the corner and said in surprise. At that moment, a man in a ck robe walked out of the corner, his face filled with astonishment. H j H Mo Xiao didn¡¯t pay him any attention and raised his palm again. ¡°Exploding Fireball!¡± ¡°ng!¡± At that moment, a shield appeared instantly in front of the mage. The next moment, the shield shattered, and the person holding it was sent flying. The damage was enormous. If it weren¡¯t for the shield, he might have been instantly killed. In an instant, an arrow shot towards Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao¡¯s body swayed back slightly, and at the same time, he raised his white-gloved left hand to grab the arrow that flew over. Then, with a strong throw, he sent the arrow back to where it hade from. A person dressed in ck clothes and holding a bow howled in pain as he rushed out. ¡°Shield guards, mages, and archers have alle out. Where are the warriors and healers?¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, a heavy sword headed straight for his face. ¡°Ding!¡± In that instant, a longsword appeared in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand, and he casually blocked the attack.. Chapter 150 - 150: Yan Zhantian: Feel Free to Attack! Don’t Hold Back! Chapter 150: Yan Zhantian: Feel Free to Attack! Don¡¯t Hold Back! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios At this moment, on the spectator stand, Yan Zhantian looked at the scene on the screen and squinted his eyes. ¡°Old Yao, did you see anything?¡± ¡°What did you notice?¡± Yao Shier asked softly. ¡°They are clearly targeting your designated disciple. Don¡¯t tell me you didn¡¯t notice this obvious plot.¡± Yan Zhantian grinned. ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice it too?¡± Yao Shier smiled. ¡°Why do 1 need to talk to Chu Feng about it?¡± ¡°Plot? What plot?¡± Just as the two of them were talking in riddles, Su Jiner on the side asked in confusion. ¡°You didn¡¯t notice?¡± Yan Zhantian asked, somewhat surprised. Su Jin¡¯er looked at the screen in puzzlement. ¡°Isn¡¯t Mo Xiao having an easy time? What plot is there?¡± ¡°For Mo Xiao¡¯s strength¡­ these little tricks are indeed not considered plots; at most, it¡¯s a warm-up,¡± Yan Zhantian said with a smile. ¡°But whenpared to others, it¡¯s quite clear that almost all of the special difficulties in this assessment are concentrated on him. ¡°What¡¯s even more outrageous is that the difficulty of the events happening to him is at least three times higher than that of others.¡± Hearing Yan Zhantian¡¯s words, Su Jiner finally realized and quickly looked at the screens of others. She also saw Mo Xiao single-handedly facing 10 level 2 professionals, and it suddenly became clear to her. ¡°My goodness! This is so unfair!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been wondering if you haven¡¯t been paying attention to others since earlier?¡± Yan Zhantian asked, somewhat speechless. ¡°Why should 1 care about others? They are not my disciples,¡± Su Jin¡¯er replied matter-of-factly. ¡°Master, since Yanlong Base City arranged it this way, don¡¯t you want to do something about it?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er heard this and smiled slightly. ¡°Jin¡¯er, to be a disciple of the War God, especially to be a disciple shared by all three of us, requires greater challenges.¡± ¡°These little tricks in Yanlong Base City only slightly increase the difficulty. I even think the difficulty can be raised further,¡± Yao Shier exined directly. ¡°Don¡¯t forget, our requirement for epting him as a disciple is reaching the 30th level.¡± Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er looked displeased. ¡°I¡¯m not saying Mo Xiao can¡¯t handle it! 1 just think it¡¯s too unfair!¡± Yan Zhantian heard this and grinned, ¡°In this world, where is fairness? What people call fairness, you often have to fight for it with your own fists!¡± Yao Shi¡¯er looked at Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s angry expression and smiled. ¡°Alright, Jiner, if this kid can really be a disciple of all three of us, we¡¯lle back and seek justice for you. We¡¯ll make sure your little disciple gets some extra benefits, okay?¡± As soon as she said this, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°That¡¯s more like it!¡± Inside the Death Forest at this moment: Mo Xiao watched the io level 2 professionals in front of him quietly, his expression somewhat strange. ¡°1 say, do you guys have to make trouble for me?¡± ¡°Sorry, your luck is just so bad to run into all ten of us at once!¡± one of the warriors said seriously. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao almost burst intoughter. ¡°Do you even believe what you¡¯re saying?¡± ¡°Cough¡­ It doesn¡¯t matter whether we believe it or not! Either kill all ten of us or be killed by us!¡± a member of the second team said unceremoniously. Hearing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression gradually returned to its usual coldness. ¡°Can I take it that you want to kill me?¡± ¡°We¡¯re here to kill you!¡± As soon as the second team of warriors finished speaking, they realized that Mo Xiao had already disappeared. Before he could regain his senses, he heard a series of system prompts ringing in his ears. [Your teammate has been killed!] [Your teammate has been killed!] This sound rang nine times before stopping. This prompt was not that he was eliminated, but that he had been killed¡­ This also meant that his teammates were killed without even having the chance to teleport away. ¡°Stop! I¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, A short de had pierced his chest. -13,200! A red number that far exceeded his health limit appeared above his head. Seeing thest person fall, Mo Xiao calmly controlled the short de in his hand, transforming it back into the appearance of the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre. ¡°Is this the level of those who want to kill me?¡± Mo Xiao snorted, raising his head slightly and looking at the sky. ¡°If you want to use underhanded tricks, at least make them more powerful. These little tricks are not even warm-up exercises!¡± Outside the arena. ¡°Hahaha! 1 knew this kid must have figured it out!¡± Yan Zhantianughed heartily and looked at Chu Feng, whose face had turned pale. ¡°Little Chu, do you want to add fuel to the fire? This kid is too arrogant!¡± ¡°I dare not¡­ I dare not¡­¡± Chu Feng said embarrassedly. Yan Zhantian waved his hand. ¡°Hey, dare to do what you dare to admit! We won¡¯t me you for anything! Such a high-and-mighty guy needs a good lesson!¡± Chu Feng was stunned when he heard Yan Zhantian say this. He asked in surprise, ¡°Isn¡¯t he¡­ the candidate you guys take a fancy to?¡± ¡°Take a fancy to him? Take a fancy to what? We¡¯re just here to find outstanding candidates to be our disciples. Who said that we did a good job on him? Just do it! Don¡¯t stand on ceremony!¡± Yan Zhantian said excitedly. Hearing this, Chu Feng¡¯s expression also became strange. Could it be that he had found the wrong person? Was this Mo Xiao not the candidate they had their eyes on? After some thought, Chu Feng shook his head. Gritting his teeth, he directly sent a message, ¡°Activate the highest-level Death Breath! Activate it!¡± ¡°Understood¡­¡± As Chu Feng gave the order, the center of the Death Forest suddenly began to shake violently. Feeling the tremors on the ground, Mo Xiao frowned. In the next moment, he found that the solid earth beneath him was cracking open, strange purple cracks appearing, Within these cracks, there were strange purple lights shing frantically. This light gave an extremely unsettling feeling. ¡°Earth Pulse Death Qi? Eternal Heli?¡± Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Thousand Mechanisms Umbre instantly fell into his hand, transforming into two huge shields. ¡°Dragon Wings! Then, a pair of wings appeared behind Mo Xiao. Carrying Mo Xiao, he soared into the sky. Looking at the ground that was almost covered in purple cracks, Mo Xiao looked at the ground with a serious expression, as if he was preparing for something. ¡°Chu Feng, are you trying to eliminate everyone at once?¡± Yan Zhantian looked at what was happening in the arena and asked with some confusion. Chu Feng shook his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the others won¡¯t be affected. I¡¯ve already sent a message to tell them to hide in a safe ce. Whether they believe me or not is another matter..¡± Chapter 151 - 151: Shield Counterattack! Death Breath! Chapter 151: Shield Counterattack! Death Breath! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Yan Zhantian raised his brows slightly when he saw Chu Feng gritting his teeth. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that Chu Feng and Mo Xiao had some deep enmity. However, Yan Zhantian knew very well that this was Mo Xiao¡¯s first visit to Yanlong Base City. Chu Feng¡¯s actions were all for the sake of suppressing the candidates from other base cities and keeping the spots for universities or highly skilled individuals in Yanlong Base City as much as possible. Moreover, from Chu Feng¡¯s behavior, it was evident that this had happened many times before, but the War Gods like them had never witnessed it, so they were unaware. Yao Shi¡¯er looked at Yan Zhantian, who looked somewhat displeased, and said, ¡°It seems that after this high-stakes examination, we need to overhaul the culture here.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yan Zhantian nodded lightly. ¡°If we continue like this, our Dragon Nation will be ruined by these scoundrels.¡± Meanwhile, inside the Death Forest. Mo Xiao floated in mid-air, rising rapidly. The arena had limitations, but it did not restrict height. Mo Xiao could fly as high as he wished. However, the speed of the Death Breath¡¯s emission far exceeded Mo Xiao¡¯s flying speed. Although he was ascending, Mo Xiao kept a close eye on the situation beneath his feet. After about half a minute, a deafening roar suddenly erupted beneath him. In an instant, a dazzling purple beam shot up into the sky and soared towards the horizon. Watching the approaching purple beam, Mo Xiao suddenly spread his wings and stopped his ascent. At the same time, he raised his shield in front of him. ¡°A high-level death breath. Even a third-level professional might die here! You think you can block it with just these two small shields? Dream on!¡± Chu Feng boasted as if Yan Zhantian and the others weren¡¯t beside him. ¡°I really want to go beat him up!¡± Su Jin¡¯er gritted her teeth and said. ¡°Calm down. Revenge is best served cold, and besides, avenging oneself requires a personal touch, right?¡± Yan Zhantian smiled, his gaze fixed firmly on the screen disying Mo Xiao. Just as the purple energy impact hit Mo Xiao, he swung his shield forcefully. In an instant, a huge red turtle phantom shed past him. Immediately, the purple pir of light made a 180-degree turn and sted back to the ground. However, the moment the purple pir of light turned, the second pir of light followed. ¡°Block it!¡± Mo Xiao shouted in a low voice and used the shield in his other hand to block in front of him. ¡°Boom!¡± With a dull roar, Mo Xiao, who was originally floating in the air, instantly rose a lot. [-24,000!] A huge amount of damage directly appeared on Mo Xiao¡¯s body. As the second purple pir of light disappeared, the Death Forest returned to its original state. Mo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Phew, that scared me to death. 1 almost used my life-saving skill.¡± 24,000 damage was enough to kill any level 30 professional several times over. Unfortunately, it was Mo Xiao who was hit this time. His health points were as high as 24,600 points! After deducting the 24,000 points, he still had 600 HP left. Outside the arena, Chu Feng watched the scene in disbelief, his face full of astonishment. ¡°This¡­ this can¡¯t be¡­ Is this guy cheating? 24,000 damage! Why hasn¡¯t he died yet?¡± ¡°His HP is high. Is there a problem?¡± Yan Zhantian said very casually. ¡°No¡­ he¡¯s just an examinee! No matter how high his HP is, it shouldn¡¯t be so terrifying!¡± Chu Feng¡¯s face was filled with confusion. Yan Zhantian chuckled, ¡°Let me ask you a question, City Lord Chu. Why would something capable of dealing over 20,000 damage suddenly appear in an examination for students who graduated just two months ago?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Hearing this, Chu Feng was momentarily stunned. ¡°Oh, 1 know about Mo Xiao¡¯s shield. It can block the majority of damage, meaning the impact of this attack could have been over 100,000. So, I want to ask you, City Lord Chu, what do you intend to do with such a formidable weapon in a simple assessment?¡± H j 11 Yan Zhantian walked to Chu Feng¡¯s side with a cold expression and gently patted his shoulder. ¡°Now that the college entrance examination is underway, 1 won¡¯t make things difficult for you for the time being. 1¡¯11 give you time to think of an excuse.¡± H 11 ¡°The first assessment should be over, right, City Lord Chu?¡± Seeing this, Yao Shi¡¯er asked indifferently, ¡°Prepare for the next batch of examinees¡¯ assessment. It¡¯s time to let the examinees inside rest. Such a dangerous assessment. We have to give them some time to rest.¡± Upon hearing this, Chu Feng nodded repeatedly. ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯ll arrange it now.¡± With that, Chu Feng hurriedly ran out. ¡°Master! Why are you helping that guy!¡± Seeing this, Su Jin¡¯er said unhappily, ¡°He clearly bullied Junior Brother!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t 1 already say that revenge needs to be avenged personally? Let¡¯s wait and see,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said with a smile. ¡°Tsk! How boring! I¡¯m going to look for Mo Xiao!¡± As Su Jin¡¯er spoke, she walked out of the spectator stand. Seeing Su Jin¡¯er leave, Yan Zhantian nced at Yao Shi¡¯er and said, ¡°What do you mean? Continue watching? Or should we leave too?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go too. This assessment is really boring. Let¡¯s wait for the next round.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s find a ce to have a drink-¡± Yan Zhantian smiled. Yao Shi¡¯er nodded slightly. ¡°Alright, 1 haven¡¯t had a good chat with you in a long time.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about anything else. What do you think of this kid¡¯s performance?¡± Yan Zhantian asked with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s indeed unusual. No wonder you and Jin¡¯er think so highly of him.¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nodded and said, ¡°Especially the shield counterattack at thest moment. 1 really didn¡¯t expect him to be able to bounce the Death Breath back.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this either. It seems that he has improved a lot in thest month or so!¡± Yan Zhantian smiled and said, ¡°This kind of genius should be nurtured by us-¡± ¡°Yes, indeed, he seems to be more than just powerful in attributes and levels.¡± Ten minutester, with a sh of blue light, Mo Xiao returned to the small room at the beginning. As soon as he came out, he realized that the praetor in front of him was looking at him as if he was looking at a monster. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Looking at the teacher, Mo Xiao grinned. ¡°No¡­ no¡­¡± The proctor hurriedly shook his head. ¡°Congrattions on sessfully advancing. You can go back and rest now and wait for the news of the next assessment.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Mo Xiao nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said, ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re targeting me like this.. Don¡¯t tell me you won¡¯t tell me about the second exam and make me miss it?¡± Chapter 152 - 152: Yao Shi’er: I Keep Feeling Like I’ve Seen You somewhere... Chapter 152: Yao Shi¡¯er: I Keep Feeling Like I¡¯ve Seen You somewhere¡­ Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios After leaving the small room, Mo Xiao slowly walked away from the square, intending to return to rest after the examination. Two guards suddenly appeared in front of Mo Xiao. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Looking at the two people who suddenly appeared, Mo Xiao¡¯s brows instantly furrowed. His right hand instantly grabbed the Myriad Manifestations Umbre behind him. As long as there was anything wrong, Mo Xiao would attack immediately. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, the two guards were also stunned. Then, they revealed a disdainful smile and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, candidate, you can¡¯t go out now.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned even more. Was she trying to force him to stay? ¡°The City Lord has ordered that no examinees are allowed to leave the examination hall before the end of today¡¯s college entrance examination,¡± the guard said indifferently. ¡°Please understand. Of course, you can choose to barge in forcefully, but don¡¯t me us for being impolite at that time.¡± The two guards¡¯ words seemed to be provoking him. Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, a familiar voice slowly sounded behind him. ¡°You two guards have such foul mouths. Aren¡¯t you afraid of offending someone you can¡¯t afford to offend?¡± Hearing this voice, the two guards frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. Their expressions suddenly changed and they hurriedly lowered their heads. ¡°Miss Su¡­¡± ¡°Senior Sister? Why are you here too?¡± Seeing Su Jin¡¯er suddenly appear, Mo Xiao¡¯s face revealed a rare trace of surprise. Su Jin¡¯er raised an eyebrow and said without much enthusiasm, ¡°Why, did you miss me? Should I leave?¡± ¡°Just before this, you said you were going tomand the battle for the War God on the Tianyuan Battlefield, so 1 thought you wouldn¡¯te.¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression remained calm, showing no special emotions. Su Jin¡¯er poked Mo Xiao¡¯s head and said, ¡°There are other senior brothers guarding the battlefield. I came with Master.¡± ¡°Did Senior Archmage reallye?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. ¡°Yes,¡± Su Jin¡¯er nodded. ¡°Yanzhan Tian was here too. They saw your performance just now and seemed quite satisfied. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk here anymore. I¡¯ll bring you to see Master.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was also stunned. ¡°Can 1?¡± ¡°Why not? Didn¡¯t you already meet Yan Zhantian? It¡¯s not a problem to meet my master.¡± As Su Jin¡¯er spoke, she grabbed Mo Xiao¡¯s arm. Dragging Mo Xiao, he ran towards the spectator stand. Looking at Mo Xiao and Su Jin¡¯er leaving, the two guards were a little dumbfounded. ¡°That kid just now¡­ called Miss Su ¡®Senior Sister¡¯?¡± ¡°It seems so¡­¡± ¡°If I remember correctly¡­ Miss Su is the disciple of the Archmage, right?¡± ¡°It seems so¡­¡± ¡°I feel like we might have offended someone we shouldn¡¯t have¡­¡± At the same time, outside the spectator stand, Yan Zhantian and Yao Shi¡¯er quietly floated silently in mid-air, watching the bustling square below. ¡°You¡¯re reallyzy, aren¡¯t you? You don¡¯t even want to find a ce to sit.¡± Yao Shi¡¯er looked helplessly at Yan Zhantian beside her. ¡°Hey, standing in the sky, not only does it eliminate the hustle and bustle of the city, but it also puts us in harmony with the city. It¡¯s a kind of artistic conception!¡± Yan Zhantian said with a look of enjoyment. Yao Shi¡¯er, upon hearing this, smiled in exasperation. ¡°You¡¯re just making it up!¡± Just as the two were chatting casually, Yao Shi¡¯er suddenly nced down and smiled. ¡°Your artistic conception is gone.¡± ¡°Huh? What happened?¡± Yan Zhantian followed Yao Shier¡¯s gaze and saw that Su Jin¡¯er had brought Mo Xiao up. ¡°Wow! How did those two find their way up here?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er smiled and said, ¡°Tracking is Jin¡¯er¡¯s specialty, and I¡¯m here, so she naturally found them in no time.¡± ¡°Alright, this is good. Let¡¯s take this opportunity for you to see that kid. He¡¯s truly a rare talent,¡± Yan Zhantian said with a grin. ¡°Master, I¡¯m here!¡± Su Jin¡¯er had just flown up when she said, ¡°Master, you guys really know how to pick a location. You actually flew up into the sky. I was right here, but 1 couldn¡¯t see you at all. ¡°By the way, Master, I brought my junior brother with me. 1 hope you don¡¯t mind that 1 brought him here in advance,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a grin. Yao Shi¡¯er smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ve already brought him here, so what can 1 say? But 1 haven¡¯t agreed to take him as my disciple yet.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll ept him!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said confidently, while also giving Mo Xiao a pleading look. Mo Xiao, seeing this, hesitated for a moment but eventually took a couple of steps forward and said, ¡°I¡¯m Mo Xiao. I¡¯ve had the honor of meeting Senior Archmage.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so formal. Jin¡¯er has always treated you like a younger brother, so there¡¯s no need to be so restrained here,¡± Yao Shier said, her gentle gaze carefully examining Mo Xiao. ¡°Eh?¡± Just as Yao Shi¡¯er saw Mo Xiao¡¯s appearance, she suddenly eximed softly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Master?¡± Su Jin¡¯er was also a little worried, afraid that Mo Xiao had done something to upset Yao Shi¡¯er. Yao Shi¡¯er frowned and looked at Mo Xiao in front of her, ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve seen you somewhere before¡­¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be possible. I¡¯ve lived in Yicheng Base City since I was a child, and I¡¯ve never met Senior before,¡± Mo Xiao shook his head. Yao Shi¡¯er frowned as if she was thinking about something. ¡°Your eyes are very simr to someone in my memory¡­ but it shouldn¡¯t be¡­¡± When Yan Zhantian heard Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s words, he narrowed his eyes but didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Your name is Mo Xiao, right?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er suddenly asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and quietly looked at Yao Shi¡¯er, waiting for her next words. Yao Shi¡¯er remained silent for a moment and then said, ¡°Come with me. I have something I want to ask you privately.¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao nced at Su Jin¡¯er with curiosity. Su Jin¡¯er, seeing the situation, immediately said, ¡°Master, if you have something to ask, can¡¯t you ask it here? I also want to hear.¡± ¡°Alright, you stay here and chat with Yan Zhantian. We¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Yao Shier declined Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s request. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just a conversation. I won¡¯t do anything to him.¡± With that, Yao Shier beckoned to Mo Xiao and then turned and flew away into the distance. Mo Xiao quickly followed behind Yao Shi¡¯er without saying anything. Seeing this, Su Jin¡¯er pouted and was about to follow, but she was stopped by Yan Zhantian. ¡°Your master has something to ask that kid privately. You don¡¯t need to tag along,¡± Yan Zhan Tian said calmly. ¡°She won¡¯t harm Mo Xiao. You can rest assured.¡± ¡°I know my master won¡¯t harm Mo Xiao! I¡¯m just curious! Aren¡¯t you curious too?¡± Su Jin¡¯er said irritably. ¡°Well, maybe a little-¡° Chapter 153 - 153: Mo Xiao’s Background? Chapter 153: Mo Xiao¡¯s Background? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°You¡¯re Mo Xiao, right? Then I¡¯ll call you Little Mo,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said gently. Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°Senior, please go ahead.¡± ¡°No need to be so formal. You can call me Aunt Yao,¡± Yao Shier smiled. Mo Xiao squinted slightly at her words, ¡°Are you trying to get close to me, afraid that 1 might lie?¡± Hearing this, Yao Shier first looked surprised, then her smile grew brighter. ¡°You¡¯re quite cautious. Although I¡¯d like to deny it, it¡¯s true.¡± ¡°If you have something to ask, just ask directly. I have nothing to hide,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. Yao Shi¡¯er nodded. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll ask directly. Is your name really Mo Xiao?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been using that name for over a decade, and 1 don¡¯t have any other name.¡± ¡°Did you move to Yicheng Base City, or have you been living there since childhood?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er continued to inquire. ¡°At least for as long as 1 can remember, I¡¯ve always lived in Yicheng Base City. As for before, I¡¯m not sure,¡± Mo Xiao answered truthfully. Yao Shi¡¯er continued to ask, ¡°What about your parents? Did they also stay in Yicheng Base City with you?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have parents. I¡¯m just an orphan. I¡¯ve been alone for as long as 1 can remember,¡± Mo Xiao said very calmly. Hearing this, Yao Shi¡¯er fell silent, and her gaze toward Mo Xiao seemed to hold something more. ¡°You¡­ have you never seen your parents or any other rtives since you were little?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ve always been on my own,¡± Mo Xiao replied. ¡°How old are you? When¡¯s your birthday?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er continued to ask. Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned. ¡°Why are you asking this?¡± ¡°Just treat it as gossip from a boring auntie,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said with a faint smile. ¡°In the year 2697 of the Dragon Calendar, on September 1st,¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and decided to tell Yao Shier his birthday. Upon hearing this time, Yao Shier nodded thoughtfully and then smiled, ¡°Alright, 1 got it. Let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all? Don¡¯t you have anything else to ask?¡± Mo Xiao asked in surprise. Yao Shier chuckled, ¡°What? Do you have something else to say?¡± ¡°No,¡± Mo Xiao shook his head. ¡°But why did you ask all these questions in the first ce?¡± Yao Shier pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Your appearance resembles someone I once knew¡­ a friend. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t seen him in over a decade or two, so 1 asked a few extra questions.¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow, ¡°And did youe to any conclusions?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Just pretend 1 didn¡¯t ask anything.¡± Yao Shi¡¯er smiled, as if she didn¡¯t want to continue this topic. Looking at Yao Shi¡¯er, who was obviously hiding something, Mo Xiao frowned and looked at her quietly. Seeing this, Yao Shi¡¯er sighed softly and said, ¡°It¡¯s not good for you to know some things now.¡± ¡°If it really has something to do with me, then I should know, no matter what the impact is,¡± Mo Xiao said seriously. Although he was a transmigrator, after such a long time, Mo Xiao hadpletely treated himself as a person of this world. He was already the Mo Xiao of this world. How could an orphan not be curious about his background? Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s words today clearly indicated that she knew something, so Mo Xiao naturally wouldn¡¯t give up just like that. Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s serious expression, Yao Shi¡¯er said faintly, ¡°You really want to know?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you a chance,¡± Yao Shier looked at Mo Xiao and said calmly, ¡°As long as you can meet the criteria we set for you, I¡¯ll tell you everything 1 know. How about that?¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a deal,¡± Mo Xiao agreed without thinking. Yao Shi¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao¡¯s confident appearance and smiled in satisfaction, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go back. Otherwise, Jin¡¯er will be anxious.¡± As she spoke, Yao Shi¡¯er turned around and flew towards Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s location. While flying, she secretly turned around to look at Mo Xiao, but a hint of seriousness surfaced in her eyes. ¡°Master! What did you say to Mo Xiao!¡± Seeing that Mo Xiao and Yao Shi¡¯er had returned, Su Jin¡¯er hurriedly went up to them and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter that you have to avoid us?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nced at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. We just chatted a little and made a bet with Xiao Mo.¡± ¡°A bet? What are you betting on?¡± Su Jin¡¯er suddenly became excited. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. 1 just want to see if he can fulfill the conditions we set,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said indifferently. Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er was greatly disappointed. ¡°Huh? We¡¯re just going to talk about this? Was it necessary to keep it a secret from us?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s appropriate for you to know some things about boys, so I avoided it,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er made up nonsense. When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, her eyes instantly widened, and her face was filled with displeasure. ¡°Forget it! If you don¡¯t want to say it, then don¡¯t say it!¡± After the few of them continued chatting for a while, Yao Shi¡¯er wanted to catch up with Yan Zhantian and send the two of them away. After the two of them left, Yan Zhantian asked, ¡°What exactly did you ask?¡± ¡°I did go and ask about daily life. It¡¯s just a normal life situation,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said calmly. When Yan Zhantian heard this, he snorted. ¡°Don¡¯t 1 know you? It might be true, but you should have obtained some incredible information from this, right? Ever since you came back, your expression hasn¡¯t been good.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal¡­¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nced at the departing Mo Xiao and said, ¡°Do you still remember the first time we went to the Tianyuan Battlefield more than 10 years ago?¡± ¡°I remember. I remember that at that time, you seemed to have stepped on a trap and was teleported away. You seemed to havepleted some trial and changed your profession to the current Archmage ss,¡± Yan Zhantian said after thinking for a moment. Yao Shi¡¯er nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. At that time, 1 encountered a boss that broke through a thousand levels.¡± ¡°A boss that broke through to level 1,000? How did youe out alive?!¡± Hearing this, Yan Zhantian was also stunned. ¡°No, why didn¡¯t you say this before?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either. I only know that my profession was given to me by this horror,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said calmly. ¡°Actually, I can¡¯t remember what the boss told me at that time¡­ 1 only remember that face.¡± ¡°Why? Is he very handsome? Is he as handsome as me?¡± Yan Zhantian asked with a smile. ¡°How should 1 put it? I can only say that it looks almost identical to this Mo Xiao¡­¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said indifferently. ¡°The same appearance as Mo Xiao? A humanoid boss? So you¡¯re asking Mo Xiao these questions today?¡± Yan Zhantian asked in confusion. Yao Shi¡¯er smiled bitterly and said, ¡°There are some things I can¡¯t tell you.. In short, I¡¯m very confused now¡­¡± Chapter 154 - 154: Ending the Battle in Five and a Half Minutes? Did He Cheat? Chapter 154: Ending the Battle in Five and a Half Minutes? Did He Cheat? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Junior Brother, what are you looking at here?¡± At this moment, in the resting area outside the square, Su Jin¡¯er followed Mo Xiao¡¯s gaze and looked up into the sky as she asked in confusion. ¡°I¡¯m looking at the list of cleared candidates,¡± Mo Xiao said indifferently. ¡°What¡¯s so interesting about it? Haven¡¯t you already cleared it? Why are you worried that someone might be your match?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked with a smile. ¡°There¡¯s always someone better. It¡¯s hard to say,¡± Mo Xiao said, but his brows suddenly furrowed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s sudden change in expression, she also looked over curiously. On the screen not far away, 20 new names were now refreshed. ¡°Huh? Twenty clearance slots? When your group cleared it, there were only ten slots, right? They¡¯re being so obvious about targeting you¡­ they really don¡¯t care,¡± Su Jin¡¯erined. Mo Xiao heard this and shook his head slightly, ¡°Targeting, conspiracy, I don¡¯t care about such things. They can do whatever they want. ¡°What I¡¯m mainly puzzled about is the first ce,¡± Mo Xiao said with a strange expression. ¡°The first ce?¡± Su Jiner heard this and instinctively looked at the list. The clearance list not only disyed the names of the cleared candidates but also their survival times. While everyone else had survival times of just over 10 to 20 minutes, the members of this group all had times below five minutes, with the first ce having a time of five and a half minutes. In other words, in just five and a half minutes, the first-ce candidate had resolved the battles of all the others. Or rather, within five minutes, everyone else had chosen to surrender or concede. ¡°Finishing the battle in five minutes¡­¡± Su Jin¡¯er said thoughtfully. She touched her chin as if pondering and said, ¡°1 find it impossible for someone to be that skilled. Maybe it was pre-arranged by their group to let someone clear it?¡± ¡°Maybe¡­¡± Mo Xiao nodded and didn¡¯t say anything. He quietly observed the assessment progress of the other participants. Several hourster, in the City Lord¡¯s Residence of Yanlong Base City. ¡°How¡¯s the assessment today?¡± Chu Feng sat behind his desk, tapping it lightly and asked. ¡°Except for that person named Mo Xiao, everyone¡¯s abilities were well within our expectations and easy to handle.¡± Chu Feng nodded slightly. ¡°What about Mo Xiao? Is he very strong?¡± ¡°I can only say¡­ he¡¯s ridiculously strong. His abilities are far beyond what someone his age should have,¡± his subordinate replied. Upon hearing this, Chu Feng frowned. ¡°What do you mean? What level is he at?¡± ¡°We can¡¯t detect it. He has a skill that resists detection, and his level is too high for us to determine even with tools,¡± his subordinate exined. ¡°Are you all trash? You can¡¯t even handle such a small matter!¡± Chu Feng said unhappily, ¡°What about Little Tian? How¡¯s he doing?¡± ¡°Master performed steadily, his abilities are astonishing. With our assistance, he cleared all the enemies on the field in less than six minutes,¡± his subordinate reported. When Chu Feng heard this, his brows rxed a bit. ¡°Then what do you think will happen if Little Tian encounters Mo Xiao with his strength?¡± Hearing this, the assistant beside him was instantly stunned. After thinking for a moment, he said, ¡°I can¡¯t tell. Although Young Master is very strong, I feel that it¡¯s still very difficult to defeat Mo Xiao steadily, so it¡¯s best not to let the two of them meet.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chu Feng was silent for a moment before nodding gently. Alright, let¡¯s not discuss this. ¡°How are the preparations for tomorrow¡¯s assessment?¡± ¡°We¡¯re almost ready. The monsters have been arranged. There are a total of 270 elite monsters at level 35,¡± the assistant replied, flipping through his notes. Chu Feng nodded again and narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°What level is the strongest monster in our hands?¡± ¡°Our most powerful monster is a level 60 boss.¡± ¡°A boss, huh? Good, let¡¯s rece one of the monsters tomorrow and put in that level 60 boss,¡± Chu Feng grinned. ¡°What? Isn¡¯t that a bit unfair, City Lord?¡± The assistant was surprised and quickly protested. Chu Feng sneered, ¡°What¡¯s unfair about it? We can just say it was a mistake on our part. Besides, that kid is an orphan; no one will demand justice for him even if he dies.¡± ¡°But he seems to be close to the War God and the others. And Miss Su, at least,¡± the assistant quickly reminded him. ¡°Once he¡¯s dead, the War God won¡¯t have anything to do with him. Right now, he¡¯s just a backup disciple for the War God. When he dies, it won¡¯t matter anymore,¡± Chu Feng continued to grin. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about it. Just give this monster to Mo Xiao, and I¡¯ll take care of the rest of the responsibilities.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Shut up! I¡¯m the City Lord!¡± ¡°Understood¡­¡± At the same time, at Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s residence. ¡°Master! How can you still sleep! The people from Yanlong Base City are bullying your disciple!¡± Su Jin¡¯erined. Yao Shi¡¯er sighed helplessly upon hearing this. ¡°How have you been bullied? You¡¯re the one bullying them, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m talking about Mo Xiao!¡± Su Jin¡¯er continued. ¡°Tomorrow¡¯s assessment involves candidates directly facing monsters. What if they send an extremely terrifying monster against Mo Xiao?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er looked at Su Jin¡¯er and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Mo Xiao¡¯sbat abilities are incredibly strong?¡± ¡°What does that have to do with them ying dirty?¡± Su Jin¡¯er protested. ¡°Since Mo Xiao¡¯s strength is sufficient, even if he faces a terrifying monster, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er smiled. ¡°But what if they¡­¡± ¡°Can you summon monsters at level 80 or 90?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er interrupted Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words. ¡°Well¡­ no,¡± Su Jin¡¯er admitted, shaking her head. ¡°Then, did you lie to mest time when you said Mo Xiao single-handedly defeated a level 80+ centaur?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er asked with a sly smile. ¡°What did 1 say?¡± Su Jin¡¯er was momentarily stunned, clearly having forgotten her previous statement. ¡°Of course, Mo Xiao single-handedly annihted a level 80-plus troop,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said faintly. ¡°Of course, that was true!¡± Su Jin¡¯er quickly rified. ¡°Then that¡¯s settled. Do you think Yanlong Base City can obtain creatures stronger than centaurs?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said sarcastically. Su Jin¡¯er scratched her head awkwardly and said, ¡°Well, it seems unlikely¡­¡± ¡°Moreover, don¡¯t forget that this kid is supposed to be the disciple of three War Gods simultaneously. If he can¡¯t handle a little pressure, he should leave early. We don¡¯t need such weak disciples,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er concluded. With that, Yao Shi¡¯er stopped talking, leaving Su Jin¡¯er alone in the room to sigh.. Chapter 155 - 155: Yan Zhantian: Not Bad, I’ll Give 60 Points! Chapter 155: Yan Zhantian: Not Bad, I¡¯ll Give 60 Points! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios The next day, early in the morning. After a day of selection yesterday, only 270 of the original 4,000 candidates remained in the examination hall. It must be said that yesterday¡¯s examination was extremely difficult. When Mo Xiao returned to the square once again, he found that the original square had undergone changes. The examination hall, which was originally divided into a total of 300 small areas, had now be fourrge sections. Clearly, the reduction in the number of examinees had prompted adjustments to the size of the examination field. This also allowed the spectators to see more clearly. Mo Xiao looked at the few remaining examinees and narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°It looks like the arena battles are going to start in this round¡­¡± Although Mo Xiao didn¡¯t know the specific details of this assessment, judging from the appearance of the examination field, it seemed like it would involve ivibat. However, whether they would be fighting against people or monsters, he couldn¡¯t be sure. Mo Xiao didn¡¯t have to wait long before Chu Feng once again appeared in the sky above the square. ¡°Good morning, everyone!¡± Chu Feng greeted them with a smile. ¡°After a day ofpetition yesterday, we now have only two hundred and seventy examinees left. I feel regret for those who were eliminated! But the Higher Vocational Academy will analyze yourbat performance and give you scores. We will do our best to admit you to the academy. Please don¡¯t be too discouraged! ¡°Next, we will begin today¡¯s assessment!¡± Chu Feng continued, looking around. ¡°Yesterday, we tested your survival skills, and in a world like Blue Star, surviving is more important than anything else! ¡°And today¡¯s assessment is all about realbat! Combat against monsters!¡± As he spoke, Chu Feng waved his hand, and a monster¡¯s status panel appeared in front of everyone. [Shadow Demon ? Elite] Level: LV35 HP: 5,000/5,000 Strength: 400 Agility: 550 Spirit: 300 Endurance: 450 Physique: 350 Dark Advantage: Passive skill. Increases movement speed and attack power in dark environments or at night. Instant Burst: Drastically increases attack speed and power for a short duration. Evasion Expert: Possesses quick reflexes and agility, can evade some of the target¡¯s attacks. Intimidating Roar: Can induce a brief state of fear in all enemies, reducing their attack and defense attributes. Toxic w: Attacks the target at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, causing damage with both slow and poison effects. Night¡¯s Disappearance: Can disappear from view for a short time, bing untargetable and quickly moving to a safer area. ¡°What?! A level 35 elite monster?!¡± As the panel appeared, all the students on the scene were in shock. Their levels were only in the teens, except for Mo Xiao, who was at level 30. Others were at most around levels 16 or 17, with only Jiang He, who had trained with Mo Xiao for some time, reaching level 20. Now they were being told to fight a level 35 elite monster? This was impossible! They might as well quit! Hearing the cries of despair echoing in the square, Chu Feng hurriedly said, ¡°Quiet, everyone!¡± ¡°This is just your opponent; it doesn¡¯t mean you have to kill it. Just defeat it!¡± Chu Feng emphasized. ¡°Our main goal is assessment! We¡¯re evaluating yourbat skills. As long as you meet our requirements, you can pass! In this second round, we will keep one hundred participants! ¡°So we will arrange many high-level professionals to grade you. The top one hundred students with the highest scores will all pass this assessment! So you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Chu Feng continued, ¡°As for your safety, rest assured, there are professionals in the examination field who will watch over you. If anything goes wrong, they will intervene immediately and rescue you. So you have nothing to worry about!¡± Hearing Chu Feng¡¯s exnation, the noisy square slowly quieted down. Satisfied with the situation, Chu Feng nodded, ¡°Good! Since you all know the content of the exam now, I hereby announce the start of the second round of the exam! Please let the first batch of examinees enter the field!¡± With Chu Feng¡¯smand, four examinees slowly walked into the examination hall. At the same time, above their corresponding examination hall, there was a huge screen that broadcasted their battle situation and their identities in real time. Looking at the four people who had just entered the examination hall, Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°Yanlong Base City, candidate number one, Chu Tian¡­¡± At the same time, in the spectator stands. ¡°What? Lord of Fire, what do you mean?¡± Chu Feng had just returned to the spectator stands and heard Yan Zhantian¡¯s request, leaving him stunned. ¡°I mean, the two of us want to participate in the grading this time. We rarelye to watch the entrance exams; you should let us have some involvement, right?¡± Yan Zhantian smiled. Chu Feng was taken aback by this request. ¡°Well, this¡­ Is it appropriate?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing inappropriate about it. You can have your people step down. Let the two of us handle the grading for this assessment,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er smiled. ¡°Or, City Lord Chu, do you doubt our judgment?¡± ¡°No, not at all. If the two war gods are willing to grade, it¡¯s a blessing for these examinees!¡± Chu Feng quickly nodded and said. ¡°Well then, that¡¯s settled. Leave the grading to the two of us. We also want to see the strength of this year¡¯s candidates,¡± Yan Zhantian said lightly. Chu Feng could only agree reluctantly, ¡°Very well. I hope the two seniors will be fair and impartial.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we will be absolutely fair and impartial. After all, we¡¯re not you, right?¡± Yan Zhantian nced at Chu Feng meaningfully. With that statement, Chu Feng chuckled awkwardly and stopped talking. He stood beside the two war gods with his head lowered. In the examination field, elite monsters had been released, and they were now in battle with the four examinees. Because the monsters were of the agility type, almost all the examinees were desperately dodging their attacks. Counterattacking was out of the question, and surviving without being instantly killed was a relief. Only the Number One examinee seemed to be handling the situation with ease, asionally counterattacking. Although his damage output was lower than the others, the difference in performance was like night and day. ¡°Yo, Number One¡¯s performance is not bad, huh?¡± Yan Zhantian looked at Number One¡¯s performance and sighed with emotion. ¡°Yanlong Base City, Chu Tian¡­ Tsk, Chu Feng, could this be your son?¡± ¡°Ahem, replying to Senior Fire God, it¡¯s indeed my son,¡± Chu Feng said excitedly. He had already heard Yan Zhantian¡¯s praise. ording to Yan Zhantian¡¯s statement, his son should have a decent score. Yan Zhantian nodded slightly. ¡°Not bad, I¡¯ll reluctantly give him a score of 60!¡± Chapter 156 - 156: Looks Like You Want to Kill Me! Chapter 156: Looks Like You Want to Kill Me! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Wow! This Chu Tian is amazing! This is a level 35 elite monster! He didn¡¯t even get hurt! That¡¯s incredible!¡± ¡°Of course! He¡¯s the son of the city lord of our Yanlong Base City! Young City Lord Chu Tian! He¡¯s the strongest among the new generation of professionals in our Yanlong Base City! Even some second-tier professionals can¡¯t match him!¡± ¡°Wow, no wonder he can go toe-to-toe with a level 35 elite monster, he¡¯s really that strong!¡± Listening to the praise from the candidates around her, Su Jin¡¯er almost burst outughing, ¡°This is called impressive? Then won¡¯t you scare them to death when you go up?¡± Before Mo Xiao could respond, the other candidates turned to look at them. ¡°Who are you? This is our Chu Tian, the young master of our base city! Can people like you from the countrysidement casually?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! Young Master Chu is already level 19! How can you understand!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression did not change at all. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Why? You¡¯re not going to watch anymore?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked with a smile. Mo Xiao chuckled. ¡°An opponent of this level is not worthy of my special attention.¡± ¡°True,¡± Su Jin¡¯er nodded seriously. ¡°But don¡¯t you want to see how these monsters attack?¡± ¡°Just level 35 monsters. Do you think it¡¯s necessary?¡± Mo Xiao said indifferently and turned away. ¡°Besides, based on the previous assessments, it¡¯s not necessarily this level 35 monster that I¡¯ll be facing.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried at all?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked, puzzled by Mo Xiao¡¯s calm demeanor. ¡°Worried? What is there to worry about? With my strength, do you think there will be any problems?¡± Mo Xiao asked in return. ¡°Or do you think Yanlong Base City can produce some level 100 monsters?¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s not the case. The highest level of monsters we can obtain is level 80,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said. ¡°In that case, even if they really bring out level 80 monsters, I¡¯m not afraid.¡± Just as Mo Xiao was speaking, a stranger appeared in front of him. ¡°Heh, not afraid even of level 80? You really know how to talk big. Aren¡¯t you afraid of being silenced by a strong wind?¡± The neer sneered disdainfully. Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow at the words and casually nced at him. He didn¡¯t know this person, but he had seen him before. It was not long ago, in the examination hall. This was the first contestant from before, the son of the city lord of Yanlong Base City, Chu Tian, the young city lord. ¡°Even I can only take 60% of this level 35 elite monster¡¯s health points. You¡¯re just a piece of trash from Yicheng Base City. How dare you say such things?¡± Chu Tian said very arrogantly. ¡°I don¡¯t know how strong you are, but Father actually asked me to pay more attention to you. Is it because you¡¯re very good at bragging?¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked at Chu Tian, who was chattering non-stop, and turned back to look at Mo Xiao. ¡°Who¡¯s this idiot? Your friend?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know him. Let¡¯s go first. It¡¯s my turn soon.¡± After saying that, Mo Xiaopletely ignored Chu Tian and left with Su Jin¡¯er. Watching the two of them walk away, Chu Tian was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked. Watching the two of them walk away without a care, Chu Tian¡¯s nose almost twisted in anger. As the young city lord, with such strength, when had he ever been so ignored! Although he was angry, it was the assessment period, and he had no assistants by his side, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it. ording to what Chu Feng had said, as long as he became a disciple of the War God, everything would be insignificant! Twenty minutester. A system panel suddenly appeared in front of Mo Xiao. [The exam is about to begin! Please proceed to Exam Room Number One for preparation!] Looking at the system panel in front of him, Mo Xiao said, ¡°It¡¯s my turn now. I¡¯ll go for the assessment.¡± ¡°Go for it! I want to see what tricks these guys from Yanlong Base City will pull!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said excitedly. Mo Xiao waved his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Unless they kick me out directly, there¡¯s no monster that can be my match.¡± As Mo Xiao entered the examination room, countless staff members around him rapidly sent out messages. ¡°The target has entered the examination room!¡± ¡°The examination room is ready! The surrender system has been disabled!¡± ¡°The monsters are ready!¡± ¡°The traps are ready!¡± With a series of messages from the staff, Chu Feng in the observation seat also smiled with satisfaction. ¡°Chu Feng, why are you so happy?¡± Yan Zhantian looked at the smiling Chu Feng and asked Chu Feng with a faint smile, ¡°It¡¯s Mo Xiao who¡¯s going out there, not your son.¡± Upon hearing this, Chu Feng quickly restrained the smile on his face and said, ¡°Mo Xiao is the hope of our human race. I¡¯d be happy if he can stand out!¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Yan Zhantian chuckled. ¡°If he really stands out, 1 think you can crush your own teeth, right?¡± ¡°Oh, what are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand,¡± Chu Feng said, feigning ignorance and scratching his head as if he didn¡¯t know anything. Yao Shi¡¯er sighed softly, ¡°We are all part of the human race, and more importantly, citizens of the same country. I hope you can keep that in mind and be unified in our external interactions.¡± ¡°Naturally, naturally. Thepetition is about to start. Both of you should watch and score seriously!¡± Chu Feng quickly said. At this moment, in the examination area, Mo Xiao stood quietly in the center of the examination room, and just then, a system notification sounded. [Ding, the exam rules have been changed, and you can no longer surrender!] [Ding, the examination room rules have been changed, and sound cannot be transmitted from this ce!] [Ding, the examination room formation has been activated! Monster attributes will be increased by 20%!] Hearing these consecutive system notifications, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°No surrender, no sound transmission, and the monsters are enhanced¡­¡± Thinking about it, Mo Xiao suddenly smiled. ¡°It seems like they want to put me in a difficult situation.¡± [Please be prepared! The assessment is about to begin!] [Five!] [Four!] [Three!] [Two!] [One!] [Boss, the Dark Night Wolf King, has been released!] As the system notification sounded, a dim light suddenly lit up in the center of the examination room, and the next moment, a wolf, about four to five meters long, appeared out of thin air in front of Mo Xiao. Its ck fur, coupled with a pair of eyes emitting green light, gave it an extremely terrifying appearance. ¡°Dark Night Wolf King? A boss, huh?¡± Chapter 157 - 157: Instant Kill Again! Chapter 157: Instant Kill Again! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Dark Night Wolf King? A boss?¡± Looking at the monster in front of him, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression was still extremely calm, as if he wasn¡¯t the one facing this boss. ¡°Illusion Breaking Technique!¡± [Dark Night Wolf King ? Boss] Level: LV6o HP: 40,000/40,000 Strength: 800 Agility: 850 Spirit: 500 Endurance: 1,200 Physique: 600 Innate Bloodline: Passive skill, inherited from the prestigious Wolf n bloodline, granting wisdom and strength far above average. Rapid Assault: Can swiftly charge towards the target, temporarily increasing movement speed and attack power. Elemental Resistance: Ignores all elemental attacks and is immune to elemental damage in the environment. Stealthy Hunter: Can conceal one¡¯s presence, making it difficult to be detected, and can sneak through some obstacles and traps for ambush. Aerial Pounce: Can transfer and attack in the air, dealing additional damage to the target when leaping from a height. Winter¡¯s Fang: Normal attacks deal additional damage and have a chance to seal one of the target¡¯s abilities or skills. Rampant Roar: Activated when HP drops to a critical level, unleashes a powerful and deadly ice and snow storm across the entire map, inflicting severe freezing and damage on everyone, with some degree of self-damage. ¡°A level 60 boss, they really went all out with this one.¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow as he saw this Wolf King. He had guessed that the monster¡¯s level would increase, but he hadn¡¯t expected Yanlong Base City to introduce a boss like this. However, even though it was a boss, Mo Xiao felt no pressure at all. Just 20,000 HP, it would take only a few hits. At this moment, outside the arena, all the examinees were in an uproar. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, look at that monster in Examination Room No. 1! It looks much more powerful than that elite-level Shadow Demon from before!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe it! With the previous Shadow Demon, I could at least see its name and level, but this one, I can¡¯t see anything! What level is this monster?¡± ¡°Wait a minute, didn¡¯t the Lord of the City say that everyone should face the same monsters? Why did he encounter such a powerful one?¡± ¡°Maybe¡­ he¡¯s just unlucky, and the staff made a mistake?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, he¡¯s really unlucky¡­ I think he might get killed instantly without even a chance to surrender.¡± ¡°But that guy doesn¡¯t seem to have any intention of surrendering¡­¡± At the side, Su Jin¡¯er and the others were discussing excitedly, ¡°Junior Brother! Quick! Insta-kill this monster! I¡¯m really curious about these guys¡¯ reactions! Insta-kill him!¡± In the spectator stands, Yao Shi¡¯er watched the level 60 boss with a worried expression. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to ruin such a promising talent just to make his own child a disciple of a war god. That¡¯s too much,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s usually gentle demeanor was reced by a hint of anger. Yan Zhantian let out a long sigh and said, ¡°Our human race has been peaceful for too long, causing some people to target their own kind¡­¡± ¡°What should we do? Should we stop this assessment?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er asked with concern. ¡°Huh? Why stop? Let this kid finish fighting. We shouldn¡¯t waste the free experience,¡± Yan Zhantian said without hesitation. Yao Shi¡¯er was taken aback. ¡°Are you serious? This is a level 60 boss, not an ordinary monster. We can¡¯t let him die here!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what Su Jin¡¯er said? This kid can single-handedly kill level 89 centaurs!¡± Yan Zhantian looked at Yao Shier with a strange expression. ¡°Isn¡¯t that an exaggeration from Jin¡¯er?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er clearly didn¡¯t believe Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words. ¡°Of course not. 1 saw it with my own eyes. As long as this kid is willing, he can instantly defeat the monster in front of him,¡± Yan Zhantian grinned. ¡°You just watch. Given this kid¡¯s personality, he will definitely take care of it in no time.¡± As Yan Zhantian finished speaking, he saw Mo Xiao raise his sword and then swing it, sending a terrifying sword qi that instantly pierced through the Wolf King¡¯s head. ¡°Shattering Mountains and Rivers!¡± -31,131 In an instant, a damage number as high as 30,000 appeared above the Dark Night Wolf King¡¯s head. Its eyes widened in disbelief, never expecting to be taken down by a single sword. Like the Dark Night Wolf King, everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open. 30,000 with one strike! What kind of concept was this! This was damage that could only be dealt by high-level professionals above the third ss promotion after learning high-level skills! This Mo Xiao in front of him was just a student who had changed his profession for two and a half months! He could actually cause such terrifying damage with a single strike! How on earth did he do it! ¡°Mom¡­ Come out and see God!¡± ¡°Are we really the same age? Have I seen a ghost?¡± ¡°Hahaha, impossible! Absolutely impossible! 1 must be dreaming!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll report it! 1¡¯11 report it! Someone is cheating!! How can this be!¡± As Su Jin¡¯er listened to the wails at the side, her face was filled with smugness, as if the damage was caused by her. ¡°Hehe, serve you right for doubting my Junior Brother! Watch me wipe that smug look off your faces!¡± In the spectator area, Yan Zhantian looked at Mo Xiao in the examination hall with a matter-of-fact expression. ¡°It¡¯s been a while since west met, and this kid¡¯s damage has increased again-¡± Yan Zhantian smiled. Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s expression was a little interesting. ¡°Thirty thousand with one strike. Does this kid have some special ability?¡± ¡°There should be, but he didn¡¯t tell me. Your precious disciple probably knows.¡± Yan Zhantian said, ¡°If you¡¯re interested, you can ask your disciple.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nodded. ¡°No wonder all of you admire him so much. It seems like he¡¯s really capable¡­¡± ¡°Yeah, but that might not be the case for the Tower of Babel. In that ce, attributes and equipment are useless.¡± Yan Zhantian said worriedly, ¡°His currentbat strength is all based on numerical values¡­¡± ¡°If you rely too much on numbers, you¡¯ll be at a disadvantage in Skysplit Tower,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said indifferently. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Yan Zhantian sighed softly. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Even if he doesn¡¯t meet your requirements, if you don¡¯t want him, I¡¯ll directly take him in as my disciple. Hehe.¡± ¡°Who said we don¡¯t want him?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nced at Yan Zhantian. ¡°My Jin¡¯er has long taken a fancy to this little fellow.¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey! You can¡¯t be like this! Didn¡¯t you say that you weren¡¯t interested in him?!¡± Yan Zhantian was instantly excited when he heard this and hurriedly said. ¡°Who said we don¡¯t want him?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nced at Yan Zhantian. ¡°Our Jin¡¯er has been with him for so long.. If he can¡¯t be our disciple, who do you think she¡¯ll choose?¡± Chapter 158 - 158: Public Opinion Attack? Chapter 158: Public Opinion Attack? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Who do you think he¡¯ll choose in this situation?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er smiled confidently. ¡°I can¡¯t believe it! Old woman, you have no sense of fair y!¡± Hearing Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s words, Yan Zhantian instantly exploded. His face was full of indignation, and he was just short of attacking Yao Shi¡¯er. Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s expression turned cold, and her gentle gaze instantly became murderous. ¡°What did you call me?¡± ¡°Cough¡­ I was wrong.¡± Seeing Yao Shier¡¯s sudden change in demeanor, Yan Zhantian trembled and lowered his head like a quail. Although the battle prowess of the Archmage and the Fire God were simr on the surface, in reality, Yan Zhantian¡¯s strength was far inferior to Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s. However, Yao Shi¡¯er had a rtively mild temper. Except for when dealing with monsters, she had never disyed her strength in front of others. Watching Yan Zhantian¡¯s reaction, Yao Shier snorted coldly. ¡°Hmph, 1 don¡¯t have time to argue with you. If there¡¯s a next time, don¡¯t me me for not being polite.¡± ¡°Well, it¡¯s a pity that such a good disciple can only belong to you.¡± Yan Zhantian said sarcastically. Hearing this, Yao Shi¡¯er nced at Yan Zhantian and said, ¡°The final decision still rests in Mo Xiao¡¯s hands.¡± ¡°He¡¯s a solo cultivator, and if we¡¯re talking about suitability, you¡¯re more suitable to be his master than I am.¡± Yan Zhantian said with a hint of mncholy. ¡°Sigh, I don¡¯t even have a disciple, and now you want topete with me. Sigh¡­¡± ¡°Then pray that Mo Xiao can sessfully pass the 30th level. Maybe he has extraordinary talent and can really make it?¡± Yao Shier said and then fell silent, leaving Yan Zhantian muttering to himself. At this moment, in Examination Room 1. [Congrattions on defeating the Level 60 boss, Dark Night Wolf King! You¡¯ve gained 200,000 experience points!] [Congrattions on obtaining Dark Night Wolf Fang X2] [Congrattions on obtaining Dark Night Wolf w x4] Looking at the system information in front of him, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow. ¡°Just this little for a Level 60 boss? It¡¯s worse than the monsters outside¡­¡± ¡°Hey, is there any staff here? I¡¯ve already killed the boss. Can I leave now?¡± ¡°Sorry, there seems to be a problem with the system. Please wait, we¡¯ll fix it soon!¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, the staff members panicked. In their original n, Mo Xiao was supposed to die in this assessment. After all, in their eyes, these candidates, no matter how high their levels were, were only Level 20, and even a Level 35 elite monster could easily torment them. They couldn¡¯t have anticipated that Mo Xiao would be able to kill a Level 60 boss in one shot! ¡°City Lord! What should we do?¡± At this moment, a helper next to Chu Feng looked at the information in front of him and said anxiously, ¡°Mo Xiao is still locked inside the exam room. What should we do? Should we release more monsters, or should we let him out?¡± Hearing the helper¡¯s words, Chu Feng¡¯s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. ¡°With two War Gods watching here, how can we keep him locked inside? Let him out.¡± ¡°Then what should we do? Let him get first ce?¡± the assistant asked with a frown. ¡°¡­¡± Chu Feng fell silent for a moment and then said, ¡°Let¡¯s release the news that we made a mistake and that the monster Mo Xiao faced was just a Level 1 mutant.¡± ¡°A Level 1 monster? But they couldn¡¯t detect the level of that boss, and no one would believe this, right?¡± the assistant said worriedly. Listening to this, Chu Feng fell into silence again. ¡°Just say that the monster has a talent skill that can shield everyone¡¯s detection abilities.¡± ¡°What¡­ What¡¯s the point of that?¡± the assistant asked in confusion. ¡°It may not be of great use, but the power of public opinion is terrifying.¡± Chu Feng sneered. ¡°In the end, it depends on the situation in the Heaven-reaching Tower. The results of the first two assessments don¡¯t matter. As long as we can manipte public opinion and affect his mentality, it¡¯s enough.¡± Twenty minutester. A light shed outside the examination hall, and Mo Xiao instantly appeared in front of everyone. As soon as Mo Xiao was transported out, he noticed that everyone¡¯s gaze was suddenly focused on him. However, their looks were not the astonishment and disbelief he had expected, but rather full of disdain and contempt. Mo Xiao slowly raised an eyebrow. ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± ¡°Tsk! It¡¯s just a system bug, and you encountered a Level 1 trash mob! What¡¯s there to be proud of!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! The City Lord shouldn¡¯t have let Mo Xiao clear the exam! He should have made him redo it!¡± ¡°No! This kind of person who exploits loopholes has no right to continue the assessment!¡± Listening to the criticism from the people around him, Mo Xiao waspletely bewildered, not knowing what had happened. ¡°Are you talking about me?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the group of people beside him, furrowing his brow slightly, and had some suspicions in his heart. ¡°Of course! Mo Xiao, right? I advise you to give up this assessment directly! Otherwise, we won¡¯t be polite to you!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Either withdraw or ept our punishment!¡± Mo Xiao looked at the group of retarded examinees in front of him and sighed helplessly. ¡°Junior Brother, how is it? Do you need my help?¡± Just then, Su Jin¡¯er appeared behind Mo Xiao at some point in time. ¡°I don¡¯t need help. I just want to know what happened.¡± Mo Xiao smiled. ¡°It¡¯s too noisy here. Let¡¯s find a quiet ce.¡± As soon as Mo Xiao finished speaking, he instantly disappeared. In an instant, he appeared in midair. ¡°Let¡¯s go first.¡± ¡°Blink? When did you get such a skill?¡± Su Jin¡¯er was stunned for a moment when she saw this. Then, she disappeared with Mo Xiao and teleported to his side. ¡°What do you mean? Where are we going?¡± ¡°What Yan Zhantian saidst time was actually quite right. The sky is a good ce.¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, a gust of wind rose from under his feet and brought him into the air. ¡°So, Chu Feng and the others released the news and told everyone that I was fighting a level 1 monster?¡± Mo Xiao asked with a strange expression. ¡°Yes, they¡¯re more jealous than rational now. They¡¯ve never thought about it at all. Even if it¡¯s a level 1 monster, it¡¯s impossible to deal such damage without powerful attributes.¡± Su Jin¡¯er shrugged and felt a little helpless. ¡°So, Senior Sister, what do you think Chu Feng is trying to do?¡± Mo Xiao asked. Su Jin¡¯er shook her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. His retarded operation won¡¯t affect anything. Perhaps it¡¯s to let everyone scold you. ¡°Unfortunately, he doesn¡¯t know that my junior brother¡¯s skin is as thick as a city wall.. This little verbal impact can¡¯t affect you at all-¡° Chapter 159 - 159: Re-examination? Compensation? Chapter 159: Re-examination? Compensation? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°How is it? What¡¯s Mo Xiao¡¯s reaction now?¡± Outside the viewing stand, Chu Feng quietly watched the square not far away and asked in a low voice. ¡°Um¡­¡± The assistant scratched his head awkwardly when he heard Chu Feng¡¯s question. ¡°That Mo Xiao seems to have run away.¡± ¡°Run away? Run away?!¡± Chu Feng¡¯s eyes widened instantly when he heard this. ¡°How could he have run away? Didn¡¯t I already order that no examinees should leave the examination area?¡± The assistant replied with a wry smile, ¡°Although he can¡¯t leave the examination area¡­ it seems like he has flying skills. He and Miss Su flew up into the sky together. ¡°Don¡¯t even bother discussing them on the square. Even if you use a megaphone, Mo Xiao might not be able to hear,¡± the assistant added. Chu Feng sighed lightly and nodded helplessly. ¡°Alright, let him be. We can only hope that he¡¯s someone who relies only on attributes.¡± As groups of examinees took the stage, time flew by rapidly. Soon, with the arrival of nightfall, thest group of examinees also came down from the examination area. ¡°The second round of assessment is over! All candidates, please gather! The examination results will be announced soon!¡± Hearing the announcement from the staff, Mo Xiao, who was floating in the air, opened his eyes. ¡°It looks like the examination is over.¡± ¡°It¡¯s over?¡± Su Jin¡¯er, who was beside him, opened her sleepy eyes. ¡°Then let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°We still need to announce the list of candidates who passed. Let¡¯s go down and listen. What if they use the excuse of a problem with the examination to kick me out?¡± Mo Xiao chuckled twice. ¡°Sister, you go back first. 1¡¯11 go down and take a look.¡± Su Jin¡¯er nodded and bid farewell to Mo Xiao. Then, she flew directly towards the examination area. After Mo Xiaonded, most of the examinees in the square had gathered. Chu Feng leisurely floated up into the air. ¡°Students, you¡¯ve all worked hard!¡± Chu Feng looked at the examinees below with a cheerful expression. ¡°After two days of assessment, you¡¯ve all worked hard!¡± ¡°Next, we will announce the list of students who can officially participate in the college entrance examination!¡± Chu Feng said loudly. ¡°Of course, for those who did not pass, there¡¯s no need to worry. Today, your matches were all evaluated by professionals, and universities will assess you based on your scores andbat videos. ¡°You all still have a chance to enter your ideal universities! Please don¡¯t feel too disheartened. You should continue to level up and cultivate. Do you all understand?¡± ¡°We understand!¡± Hearing the responses from the examinees on the square, Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction and continued, ¡°Next, 1 will announce the names of 100 students who passed this assessment!¡± With that, arge screen appeared behind Chu Feng, disying 100 small grids for disying the names of those who passed. ¡°First ce! Yicheng Base City! Mo Xiao! Completed with 100 points!¡± As Chu Feng¡¯s voice sounded, Mo Xiao¡¯s name instantly appeared on the big screen. The entire square erupted into amotion the moment Mo Xiao¡¯s name appeared. ¡°Damn! Why did he get a perfect score of one hundred points? Didn¡¯t he only kill a level one low-tier monster? Just because it¡¯s big in size doesn¡¯t mean he¡¯s amazing! 1 protest!¡± ¡°Protest! Protest! This is unfair! Why does he have such good luck?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, we strongly demand to nullify Mo Xiao¡¯s score! Let him retake the examination!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Let him take the test again!¡± ¡°Retake! Retake!!¡± Hearing the unanimous protests from the examinees on the square, Chu Feng couldn¡¯t help but wear a helpless smile. ¡°Mo Xiao, it seems that most of them are not convinced by your score.¡± ¡°What does it matter whether they¡¯re convinced or not?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Chu Feng coldly. Chu Feng continued, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to prove yourself? Do you want to carry the reputation of being a cheater for the rest of your life?¡± ¡°Why should I prove myself to them? Who are they to me?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression remained cold, and he didn¡¯t take Chu Feng¡¯s words to heart. ¡°Even you, what are you to me?¡± ¡°You!¡± Hearing this, Chu Feng almost ground his teeth to bits. He had thought that a little persuasion would make Mo Xiao lose his cool. But it turned out that this kid was unyielding. ¡°Hey, Mo kid, don¡¯t make things so tense,¡± at this moment, Yan Zhantian appeared by Chu Feng¡¯s side without them noticing. Mo Xiao was about to retort when he realized that Yan Zhantian had suddenly shot him a look, as if he wanted him to cooperate. Seeing this, Mo Xiao opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent. Seeing this, Yan Zhantian smiled in satisfaction and said, ¡°Since everyone feels that this assessment is not fair, you can take it again in front of everyone.¡± Chu Feng was also pleased to hear this. Although he didn¡¯t know why, Yan Zhantian hade to his aid and spoken on his behalf, which made him happy. ¡°However, if he still gets full marks, City Lord Chu, you have topensate Mo Xiao a little.¡± But when he heard the second half of Yan Zhantian¡¯s sentence, Chu Feng¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly. Compensation? The War God was asking him topensate a student? That wasn¡¯t just a drop of blood, it was likely to be cutting off a big chunk of flesh! Seeing Chu Feng¡¯s expression, Yan Zhantian asked, ¡°What? Unwilling? This was originally a mistake made by your base city, a mistake made by the City Lord¡¯s Mansion staff. How can you make an examinee bear the consequences?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, I¡¯m willing, of course I¡¯m willing!¡± Chu Feng forced a smile on his face, almost gritting his teeth as he swallowed his words. ¡°Let¡¯s prepare for the retake.¡± ¡°Hey,¡± Chu Feng was about to leave, but Yan Zhantian stopped him and said, ¡°Let¡¯s discuss thepensation measures first, shall we? You need to reassure the examinee in front of everyone.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Before Chu Feng could speak, Yan Zhantian continued. ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll mediate for you. 1 heard that your Yanlong Base City has a special equipment called the ¡®Tears of Time,¡¯ and so far, no one has been able to use it. If Mo Xiao¡¯s performance is satisfactory during the retake, you can give him the Tears of Time aspensation.¡± Upon hearing this, Chu Feng was momentarily stunned. The Tears of Time. One of their Yanlong Base City¡¯s hidden treasures, but also one of the most useless pieces of equipment. It had a rainbow-grade quality, but no one could equip it. Even if it was forcibly activated with an item, it would only slightly increase the user¡¯s attributes. It was truly a white elephant, useless and wasteful. ¡°You¡­ are you sure you want me to give him this?¡± Chu Feng asked with a strange expression. ¡°Why? You don¡¯t want to?¡± Yan Zhantian raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°It¡¯s not like he can pass, right? Don¡¯t be so petty. It¡¯s useless anyway.¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing! Of course I¡¯m willing! As long as Mo Xiao canplete the assessment, I¡¯ll give it to him!¡± Chapter 160 - 160: Supplementary Exam Begins Chapter 160: Supplementary Exam Begins Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°I¡¯m willing! Of course, I¡¯m willing! As long as Mo Xiao can pass the assessment, I¡¯ll give it to him!¡± Chu Feng nodded repeatedly. This was a good deal for him. As long as he could get Mo Xiao to retake the exam, he had a chance to eliminate him. Even if Mo Xiao passed the retake, Chu Feng wouldn¡¯t mind giving him the Tears of Time, which he considered useless. On the side, Mo Xiao listened to their conversation and furrowed his brow. He didn¡¯t know what the Tears of Time was. However, for Chu Feng to agree to hand over something so easily, It probably wouldn¡¯t be anything good. However, what puzzled Mo Xiao was why Yan Zhantian would agree to Chu Feng¡¯s re-examination request. ¡°I refuse.¡± Mo Xiao said without hesitation, not giving Yan Zhantian any face. Yan Zhantian was taken aback by Mo Xiao¡¯s response, and his facial muscles twitched slightly. He quickly lowered his voice and said something that only Mo Xiao could hear, ¡°Kid, give me some face! I¡¯m helping you here!¡± ¡°Helping me?¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow, clearly not seeing how Yan Zhantian was helping him. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s reaction, Yan Zhantian seemed frustrated and continued, ¡°The Tears of Time is a seven-color quality item, but it requires a specific profession to use. Here, it¡¯s just sitting around like trash. But you¡¯re a solo yer, you can use equipment from all professions, so you can definitely use this thing! Hearing Yan Zhan Tian¡¯s exnation, Mo Xiao fell into thought. Just as he was contemting, Chu Feng spoke up. ¡°Mo Xiao, you don¡¯t have the right to refuse. This is one of the three great war gods of our Dragon Nation, the Fire God Yan Zhantian! He says you need a retake, so you don¡¯t have the right to refuse! Now, I¡¯ll give you a choice: either give up your qualification for the high school entrance exam ande back next year, or retake the assessment. It¡¯s your decision!¡± With Yan Zhantian¡¯s support, Chu Feng¡¯s tone became more arrogant. Mo Xiao looked at Chu Feng and then at Yan Zhantian, sighed helplessly, and said, ¡°Fine, 1¡¯11 retake the exam. How are we going to do it? Do you have extra monsters for me to test on?¡± ¡°Of course¡­¡± Chu Feng was about to say something. Yan Zhantian interrupted him with a wave of his hand. ¡°Since the retake was my suggestion, 1 will take full responsibility for it,¡± Yan Zhantian said calmly. ¡°Mo Xiao¡¯s retake will be under my supervision.¡± Yan Zhantian¡¯s words left Chu Feng stunned. ¡°Isn¡¯t this¡­ not good?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yan Zhantian nced at Chu Feng. ¡°Do you think a war god like me would help this kid, Mo Xiao, cheat?¡± Hearing this, Chu Feng shook his head repeatedly. ¡°No, no, no, I just think it might be too much trouble for you¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no trouble. Leave it to me,¡± Yan Zhantian said and took a few steps to the side. Then he snapped his fingers gently. In an instant, a dazzling me appeared next to him. It began to rotate rapidly. After a few minutes, the mes gradually subsided, and a tall figure emerged from the fiery vortex. ¡°Elemental creature? Is this¡­ summoning magic?¡± Mo Xiao looked surprised as he examined the humanoid figure made of mes. ¡°Illusion Breaking Technique!¡± [me Demon Soldier] Level: LV6o HP: 15,000/15,000 Strength: 1,000 Agility: 600 Spirit: 800 Endurance: 1,200 Physique: 900 Advantage of Fire: Passive skill, increases fire element attack damage and causes additional burning damage to targets within a certain range. me Assault: It can quickly draw a ming trajectory towards the target, increasing one¡¯s attack speed and movement speed for a short period of time. Elemental Resistance: Ignores all elemental attacks and is immune to fire elemental damage in the environment. Fiery Agility: Possesses superb reflexes and agility, capable of evading part of the target¡¯s attack damage and quickly changing its attack direction. Hell Stomp: Can be used once or multiple times in session, mming the ground to cause widespread continuous fire elemental damage and potentially knock back nearby targets. me Burst: Can release a powerful me shockwave, dealing massive area damage to the target and slowing its movement. Dance of mes: When your HP drops to critical levels, you will enter an invincible state and cast spells, creating arge number of firestorms that cause high damage and burning effects to all targets in the map. ¡°It¡¯s called the me Demon Soldier, one of my summoning skills,¡± Yan Zhantian said directly. ¡°Its level is 60, and its attributes areparable to a boss. Although it¡¯s the weakest among my summoned creatures, it¡¯s still quite powerful.¡± Yan Zhantian¡¯s words caused amotion among the examinees. Clearly, they could clearly see how strong the me Demon Soldier was. Moreover, they had full confidence in Yan Zhantian. Listening to the chatter among the examinees, Yan Zhantian continued, ¡°However, for you new students, level sixty is already quite challenging. So, I won¡¯t ask you to defeat it. You just need to hold on for 15 minutes under its attacks, and you¡¯ll pass with full marks. ¡°City Lord Chu, what do you think?¡± After saying that, Yan Zhantian didn¡¯t ask Mo Xiao what he was thinking. Instead, he directly turned around and looked at Chu Feng. Chu Feng¡¯s face didn¡¯t look good at this moment. A level 60 me Demon Soldier was indeed very strong for these young students. But for Mo Xiao, it was no match at all. After all, Mo Xiao had previously killed a level 60 boss with a single strike. Unless Yan Zhan Tian personally controlled the me Demon Soldier, there was no way Mo Xiao would find it challenging. ¡°Ahaha¡­ it should be fine,¡± Chu Feng replied awkwardly, not knowing what else to say. ¡°Very well, now that City Lord Chu has agreed, let¡¯s begin.¡± Yan Zhantian said. With his words, invisible energy walls instantly enveloped Mo Xiao and the me Demon Soldier. At the same time, the me Demon Soldier¡¯s eyes lit up with a sinister red glow. At the same time, above the examination site. ¡°Master, why do you like staying up in the sky in situations like this? Shouldn¡¯t we go down and take a look?¡± Su Jin¡¯er pouted, feeling a bit annoyed. ¡°One war god¡¯s intervention is already enough. If I go down, it might cause panic,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said calmly. ¡°Why, are you afraid that Yan Zhantian will trip up Mo Xiao?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it¡­ but why are you all doing this?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked curiously. When Yao Shi¡¯er heard this, she nced at Su Jin¡¯er and said, ¡°It¡¯s mainly for the Tears of Time. It¡¯s not easy to find someone who can activate it, so naturally, we want to get our hands on it..¡± Chapter 161 - 161: Flame Demon General Chapter 161: me Demon General Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Master, I¡¯ve been hearing you all talk about Tears of Time. What exactly is that?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked curiously. Yao Shier thought for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s an item that grants its owner the ability to control time. The extent of its power depends on when Mo Xiao obtains the Tears of Time.¡± ¡°Time maniption? Does that mean this item can reverse time?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked, somewhat surprised. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Maybe it¡¯s possible,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said vaguely. Su Jin¡¯er widened her eyes upon hearing this, and her curiosity about Tears of Time grew. ¡°If you really want to know, you can ask Yan Zhantian. He¡¯s the owner of Tears of Fire.¡± ¡°What? Tears of Fire? Is this item part of a series?¡± Su Jin¡¯er quickly inquired. Yao Shier nodded, ¡°Yes, but very few people know about it. At least in our Dragon Country, only the three of us, the War Gods, understand its importance.¡± ¡°Do you have one, Master?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked eagerly. Seeing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s excitement, Yao Shier shook her head with a smile, ¡°1 don¡¯t. My abilities aren¡¯t suited for these things.¡± ¡°So, it¡¯s not very powerful, is it? Otherwise, Yan Zhantian should be stronger than you,¡± Su Jin¡¯er guessed. Yao Shi¡¯er shook her head again and said, ¡°That¡¯s because Yan Zhantian never uses Tears of Fire on fellow n members. The item¡¯s destructive power is too great, and sometimes it can even bypass the system rules, making it uncontroble.¡± ¡°Wow!¡± Su Jin¡¯er couldn¡¯t believe her ears, ¡°So, you¡¯re saying¡­ Yan Zhantian has been giving in to you?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t exactly say he¡¯s giving in to me. It¡¯s just the unique nature of the equipment that prevents him from using it,¡± Yao Shier exined. ¡°But let¡¯s not dwell on this. If you¡¯re really curious about it, you can ask me War Tian and Mo Xiao when they get their hands on Tears of Time soon.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± ¡°By the way¡­¡± Suddenly, Yao Shier seemed to remember something and asked, ¡°Do you know if Mo Xiao has any special abilities? His powers seem a bit excessive. Does he have some unique talent?¡± Su Jin¡¯er hesitated for a moment after hearing this and finally shook her head, ¡°That¡¯s Mo Xiao¡¯s secret. I promised him not to tell anyone. If you want to know, you can ask him yourself.¡± ¡°Alright¡­ it seems like he does have some special abilities,¡± Yao Shier mused. Meanwhile, in the examination area¡­ Mo Xiao looked at the me Demon Soldier in front of him. His previous displeasure had now turned into excitement. [Ding, you have observed Yan Zhantian¡¯s me Demon Soldier summoning! The power of the Fire God is triggered! You have sessfully learned the skill, me Demon Soldier Summoning!] [Ding, the power of the Fire God is triggered! me Demon Soldier Summoning skill upgraded! Congrattions, you have learned the skill, me Demon General Summoning! ] [me Demon General Summoning (Red): Summon a me Demon Generalposed of fire elements. Its level will be the same as yours! Up to five can exist simultaneously.] [me Demon General] Level: LV30 HP: 10,000/10,000 Strength: 1,400 Agility: 800 Spirit: 200 Endurance: 1,800 Physique: 1,100 Fire Enhancement: Passive skill, greatly increases fire elemental attack damage and inflicts continuous burning effect on targets within a certain range. me Fusion: Can gather surrounding me energy onto itself, significantly increasing its attack power, defense, and movement speed for a short time, and immune to fire elemental damage. Elemental Resistance: Ignores all elemental attacks and is immune to fire elemental damage in the environment. Lava ughter: Can unleash multiple consecutive close-range attacks, swiftly cutting through targets, dealing high damage to individual targets, and inflicting a burning effect. Fiery Sweep: Can quickly sweep targets within a certain range, causing low to moderate continuous fire damage to each target, with a chance to stun them. me Explosion: Can release arge area of fire damage, inflicting massive damage and a continuous slowing effect on targets. Soul Ignition: When health drops to a critical level, it rapidly restores all health and enters a state of fury. After casting, it releases a powerful burning beam attack, causing arge amount of continuous fire damage and burning effect to all targets within the entire map, significantly reducing their fire resistance. ¡°Fire God¡¯s power, I almost forgot about my talent,¡± Mo Xiao said with a grin. Next moment, he took a bold step towards the me Demon Soldier. As they watched Mo Xiao¡¯s actions, everyone in the area was puzzled and couldn¡¯t understand what he was doing. Observing Mo Xiao¡¯s movements, the me Demon Soldier tilted its head slightly and then suddenly pushed both hands forward. Instantly, a powerful wave of mes rushed towards Mo Xiao and hit him hard. [-12] However, for Mo Xiao, who had immunity to fire, this fire-based skill had no effect on him whatsoever. On the side, Yan Zhantian saw this scene and narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°Fire immunity? It seems my me Demon Soldier won¡¯t be able to affect him in any way¡­¡± At this moment, Mo Xiao boldly approached the me Demon Soldier while enduring the mes. Then, he grabbed the arm of the me Demon Soldier. [You rubbed against the me Demon Soldier. The skill me Assault has been copied!] [Ding, the power of the Fire God is triggered! me Assault skill upgraded! Congrattions, you have learned the skill, me Weave sh!] [me Weave sh: Condense the power of mes onto your feet, burst forth in an instant, leaving a scorching me trail, and charge towards the target with powerful mes, inflicting significant fire damage on the target and causing fire damage to targets passing through the me trail!] ¡°An attacking movement skill?¡± Mo Xiao nodded in satisfaction as he read the skill description. Then, he continued to explore the me Demon Soldier¡¯s skills by touching it several more times. However, he didn¡¯t acquire any other skills, and Mo Xiao nodded in approval. Although he could continue to wait for the me Demon Soldier to release skills and trigger the power of the Fire God by chance, he didn¡¯t need that many skills at the moment. ¡°Is this enough?¡± Mo Xiao stepped back two paces and looked at Yan Zhantian not far away, asking directly. Yan Zhantian was initially taken aback by the question. ¡°Enough for what? Why are you asking me?¡± ¡°Do you want me to give you some face? If not, I can just finish it off,¡± Mo Xiao replied with a smile, clearly in a good mood. Hearing this, Yan Zhantian was speechless.. ¡°Just finish it off! Do I need you to give me face? Hurry up and end it! Don¡¯t disgust me!¡± Chapter 162 - 162: Rare Instant Death Effect Chapter 162: Rare Instant Death Effect Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Let¡¯s resolve this directly! Do I still need to save face for you? Hurry up and finish it! Don¡¯t disgust me!¡± Yan Zhantian gave Mo Xiao an impatient look. Seeing this, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t waste any more words. He immediately swung his sword towards the me Demon Soldier. [Ding, instant death effect triggered!] -9,999,999! A clear system notification sound rang out, and a string of gray text instantly appeared from the me Demon Soldier. Apanied by a piercing scream, the me Demon Soldier turned into scattered sparks and disappeared. Looking at this absurd number, everyone present, including Yan Zhantian, was stunned and looked shocked. ¡°9,000,000 damage¡­ Is this for real? Am 1 seeing things?¡± ¡°This is a level 60 monster¡­ How can he deal such high damage?!¡± ¡°Cheating! He definitely cheated!! 1 don¡¯t believe it!!!¡± Listening to the noisy voices below, Chu Feng¡¯s expression was exceptionallyplex. He didn¡¯t care much about the numerical value because he knew that when it came to gray text like this, the damage was at that level. After all, this was one of the rarest special effects: instant death. Yan Zhantian, on the side, looked at the number before him with a fascinated expression. ¡°It¡¯s actually an instant death effect. 1 never expected that, aside from Yao Shi¡¯er, you also have a skill with an instant death effect.¡± ¡°Does the Archmage Senior have it too?¡± Mo Xiao asked, somewhat puzzled. ¡°Based on the profession, shouldn¡¯t it be more likely for Senior Sister to have this kind of skill?¡± ¡°Senior Sister? Oh¡­ You mean Su Jin¡¯er, right? Although that girl is a Necromancer by profession, she doesn¡¯t actually possess a skill with an instant death effect,¡± Yan Zhantian truthfully replied. ¡°Her skills are more focused on summoning, with very few direct damage skills, let alone something as dominant as instant death.¡± As Yan Zhantian spoke, he also dispelled the barrier around Mo Xiao. ¡°However, even though the instant death effect is powerful, its triggering probability is pitifully low. It¡¯s too difficult to rely on it to pass challenges.¡± ¡°Well, 1 know. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t consider instant death as my main skill; it¡¯s just a passive one,¡± Mo Xiao said. ¡°Passive?!¡± Hearing this, Yan Zhantian seemed as if he had heard something unbelievable. He looked at Mo Xiao with a shocked expression. ¡°Is there something wrong?¡± Looking at Yan Zhantian¡¯s excited expression, Mo Xiao was also stunned, ¡°Is there a problem?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yan Zhantian opened his mouth but didn¡¯t say anything for a while. After a long pause, he continued, ¡°There¡¯s no problem. 1 just didn¡¯t expect you to have such a buggy passive skill. It¡¯s a good thing.¡± With that, Yan Zhantian sighed in relief and looked at Chu Feng beside him. ¡°Chu Feng, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems this time, right?¡± ¡°Or do you think I¡¯m helping Mo Xiao cheat?¡± Yan Zhantian asked Chu Feng in a soft voice. ¡°No, no. You¡¯re a war god. How could you do something like that?¡± Chu Feng shook his head repeatedly. ¡°Alright, then you should announce the results of the assessment,¡± Yan Zhantian said. Hearing this, Chu Feng reluctantly nodded and then loudly dered, ¡°The retest is over! Mo Xiao¡¯s retest score is loo points! He¡¯s still first ce! ¡°This assessment was personally supervised by the God of War! No one is allowed to raise objections! Do you understand?¡± Hearing Chu Feng¡¯s words, the examinees who had been whispering to each other fell silent. Seeing this, Yan Zhantian nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°Alright, everyone has worked hard today. Go rest, and tomorrow¡¯s third round of assessments will be the true test of fairness. 1 look forward to your performances tomorrow! Dismiss!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhantian turned into a ball of mes and disappeared. The examinees also dispersed and left the examination site. After everyone had left, Chu Feng¡¯s assistant cautiously approached him and asked, ¡°My Lord, what should we do next? Do we need to intervene in tomorrow¡¯s assessment?¡± When Chu Feng heard this, he turned his head and looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. ¡°How are you going to take part in tomorrow¡¯s assessment? Tomorrow is the real college entrance examination!¡± ¡°Could it be that you can affect the Heaven-reaching Tower?!¡± Chu Feng said unhappily, ¡°Besides, don¡¯t you know that the two war gods are on Mo Xiao¡¯s side?! If we still dare to mess around in tomorrow¡¯s assessment, they will definitely kill us first!¡± The assistant asked timidly, ¡°Then¡­ what should we do?¡± ¡°What else can we do? We can only hope that this kid Mo Xiao won¡¯t be as powerful in the Heaven-reaching Tower. Right now, his attributes and skills are too exaggerated. When he enters the Heaven-reaching Tower, his attributes will decrease, and he should be significantly weaker.¡± ¡°What about Young Master Chu Tian? Do we need to help him with anything?¡± the assistant continued to ask. ¡°Have you never taken a college entrance examination before? The Heaven-reaching Tower is off-limits to outsiders! Do you understand?¡± Chu Feng was already quite unhappy because he hadn¡¯t managed to eliminate Mo Xiao. Now, his assistant, who seemed as if he had nomon sense, kept asking basic questions, making Chu Feng even more irritable. ¡°Shut up! 1 don¡¯t want to hear another word from you!¡± With that, Chu Feng turned and left, leaving his assistant alone in the square. Meanwhile, in the sky above the examination site. ¡°I knew you two would be here,¡± Yan Zhantian said as he also appeared in the sky, looking at the two. ¡°By the way, Old Yao, 1 remember you have a skill with an instant death effect, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yao Shier was momentarily stunned, then nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I do. But why do you ask?¡± ¡°That kid Mo Xiao seems to have such a skill too. He triggered it just now and instantly killed my summon,¡± Yan Zhantian said excitedly. ¡°What¡¯s the probability of your skill causing instant death?¡± ¡°About 2%, not low,¡± Yao Shier answered after thinking for a moment. ¡°But my skill mainly relies on its corrosion ability; instant death is more like buying a lottery ticket.¡± ¡°Next time, ask Mo Xiao about his probability. I heard his instant death skill is a passive one, and it seems like all his attacks have a chance to trigger it,¡± Yan Zhantian said. ¡°Can it be triggered at any time?¡± Yao Shier asked in surprise. ¡°It looks like he¡¯ll y a huge role on the battlefield in the future.¡± ¡°Yes! After all, only abilities like instant death canpletely eradicate the Demon n!¡± Just as the two of them were getting excited, Su Jin¡¯er whispered from the side, ¡°Yan Zhantian, did you forget to ask Chu Feng for the Tears of Time?¡± Chapter 163 - 163: Heaven-Reaching Tower Chapter 163: Heaven-Reaching Tower Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios On the second morning, as the sunlight once again illuminated the earth. Mo Xiao and the other examinees returned to the square. However, there was no partition in the square this time. It had already returned to its usual ordinary appearance. At this moment, the examinees who had passed the assessment had already appeared on the square. The person in the lead was Mo Xiao, who had obtained 100 points yesterday. And behind him, Chu Tian was looking at Mo Xiao with a resentful expression. He was muttering continuously, as if cursing Mo Xiao. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t talk to Mo Xiao, but no matter what he said, Mo Xiao ignored him. Except for when Mo Xiao looked at him when he said the first sentence, most of the time, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t even nce at Chu Tian. Mo Xiao didn¡¯t even give Chu Tian a single look, which made him itch with anger, but he couldn¡¯t do anything about it. Just then, in front of the square, the familiar figure of Chu Feng appeared once again. ¡°Good morning, everyone!¡± Chu Feng said loudly, ¡°After two days ofpetition and assessment, the people who can still stay in the examination area are the elite among the elite in this assessment! ¡°Next! You are about to start the real college entrance examination! Are you ready?¡± Chu Feng said passionately. The examinees: ¡°We¡¯re ready!¡± Mo Xiao:¡±¡­¡± ¡°Very good! Since you are all ready, let¡¯s set off!¡± Chu Feng said excitedly, ¡°Let us go to the holynd of our human race, the Heaven-reaching Tower!¡± As Chu Feng¡¯s voice rang out, the huge square instantly lit up with dazzling light. Immediately, everyone was covered by this dazzling light. Then they all disappeared. Even Chu Feng in front of the square and Yao Shi¡¯er, Yan Zhantian, and Su Jin¡¯er in the observation seat all disappeared under this blue light. As the blinding light faded, everyone slowly opened their eyes. They saw that the environment in front of them had undergone a huge change. In front of them was a huge terrace, which seemed to be floating in mid-air, surrounded by clouds and mist. At the end of the terrace, a huge tower that reached into the clouds stood upright. A sacred light continuously emanated from this tall tower. And on the door of the tower, there were threerge words written: Heaven-reaching Tower! ¡°Is this the Heaven-reaching Tower?¡± Mo Xiao raised his head unconsciously as he looked at the tall tower in front of him. It had to be said that this pagoda was really like his name. When he looked up, he couldn¡¯t see the end at all, as if it reached the sky. Just as everyone was excitedly looking at the Heaven-reaching Tower in front of them, Chu Feng appeared in front of them again. ¡°Students! This is the holynd of our human race, the Heaven-reaching Tower! And your college entrance examination task today is to challenge the tower!¡± Chu Feng said seriously. ¡°The Heaven-reaching Tower is very special, even I have only reached the forty-fifth floor so far.¡± Chu Feng said with a somewhat embarrassed look, ¡°But all of you here are the hope of our human race! 1 believe you can reach higher ces! 1 also believe that among you, someone can challenge this entire Tower on behalf of our human race!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Listening to Chu Feng¡¯s encouragement, everyone in the audience became excited. Only Mo Xiao felt somewhat speechless. ¡°I won¡¯t say much about the content of the Heaven-reaching Tower, you will understand it once you start the assessment. Of course, once someone starts to challenge the tower, you will be able to see their progress through the system panel, which may be helpful for those whoe after, but the difference won¡¯t be too great.¡± ¡°Now! Those whose names I¡¯ve called, please step forward!¡± ¡°Mo Xiao!¡± ¡°Li Lei!¡± Hearing Chu Feng¡¯s name, Mo Xiao squinted his eyes and walked out inrge strides. ¡°Only 10 people can enter the Heaven-reaching Tower at a time. Only io people can undergo the assessment at the same time.¡± Chu Feng looked at them and said, ¡°Next, please go to the door of the Heaven-reaching Tower. And when you get to the entrance, a system panel will naturally pop up.¡± ¡°Remember, each person in the Heaven-reaching Tower has only one chance. Once you fail, it won¡¯t be easy to continue the assessment unless you can clear twenty floors in one go, understand?¡± Chu Feng said seriously. ¡°Understood!¡± Chu Feng nodded and said, ¡°Good! Go! There is no time limit in the Heaven-reaching Tower, it¡¯s all about your true strength! Good luck!¡± Listening to Chu Feng¡¯s passionate words, Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully and followed the other nine people to the front of the Heaven-reaching Tower. [Ding, you have arrived at the entrance of the Heaven-reaching Tower. Do you want to enter the Tower and start the assessment?] ¡°Enter.¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t care what others were thinking. The moment he touched the door, he was directly transported into the Heaven-reaching Tower. [Scanning the tower challenger¡­] [Tower Challenger: Mo Xiao. Level: LV30. upation: Frencer. Number of tower challenges: 0.] [Since you are entering the Heaven-reaching Tower for the first time, you can start the challenge directly.] [Due to the unique nature of the Heaven-reaching Tower, do you need to scan your equipment so that your special equipment can be replicated inside the tower?] ¡°Scan.¡± Hearing the system prompt inside the Heaven-reaching Tower, Mo Xiao nodded directly. [Scanning begins¡­] [Detected special equipment Thousand Mechanism Umbre! Replicated!] [Detected special equipment Beast Spirit Jade! Replicated!] ¡°Huh? Beast Spirit Jade can be replicated as well?¡± Hearing this information, Mo Xiao was surprised. He thought replicating the Thousand Mechanism Umbre was enough, but he didn¡¯t expect the Beast Spirit Jade to be replicated as well. ¡°System! Can 1 bring this Beast Spirit Jade in?¡± Mo Xiao curiously asked. [Due to the special nature of the Beast Spirit Jade, the Heaven-reaching Tower cannot separate it from the host¡¯s body. It is allowed to bring it in, but its abilities will be sealed by half.] ¡°Can be brought in directly¡­ impressive¡­¡± Mo Xiao eximed. [Ding, current equipment scanning isplete! Your equipment consists of the Four Symbols Set and two Thousand Mechanism Umbres. Do you want to replicate them directly?] ¡°Replicate them directly, but will the attributes of the Four Symbols Set change?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and asked. [Yes, the Four Symbols Set is a red-grade equipment. The Heaven-reaching Tower can only prepare equipment with the same style for you, and its attributes will not be as powerful.] ¡°I see, what about the Thousand Mechanism Umbre?¡± Mo Xiao continued to inquire. [The Thousand Mechanism Umbre is a special weapon that can transform into various types of weapons. Although its attributes and skills cannot be replicated, its transformation ability will be brought into the Heaven-reaching Tower.] ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± [Do you have any other questions? If not, the system will transport you and start your first tower challenge.] ¡°No, let¡¯s start.¡± [Ding! The challenger is ready! Tower challenge begins!] Chapter 164 - 164: The Pathetic Attribute Panel Chapter 164: The Pathetic Attribute Panel Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [Ding! The challenger is ready! Tower challenge begins!] As the system notification sounded, Mo Xiao¡¯s body suddenly emitted a strange blue light, and in the next moment, hepletely transformed into beams of blue light that disappeared. But soon, the blue light converged again, reassembling Mo Xiao. However, the surroundings had undergone a massive change. In front of Mo Xiao was a boundless grasnd. Apart from the lush green grass, there was nothing else. Mo Xiao looked around but didn¡¯t find anything special about this ce. ¡°Is this the interior of the Heaven-reaching Tower? It seems like each floor is a unique space like this¡­¡± Just as Mo Xiao was muttering to himself, the system prompt sounded in his ears again. [You have arrived on the first floor of the Heaven-reaching Tower. You will have five minutes of preparation time.] ¡°Preparation time?¡± Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, although he wasn¡¯t too sure where he could prepare in such a godforsaken ce where there was nothing. But since the system gave him time, he naturally wanted to familiarize himself with the surroundings. Mo Xiao looked at his equipment. Both the style and the feel of the gear he was wearing were identical to his previous equipment. ¡°Could it be that my Four Symbols Set was brought in?¡± Mo Xiao curiously examined his equipment and opened his backpack. As soon as he opened the backpack, Mo Xiao was stunned. His previously filled backpack was now empty, leaving only two Thousand Mechanism Umbres, and nothing else. [Thousand Mechanism Umbre (Replica)] Attack Power: 150 Magic Strength: 150 Critical Strike: 5% Evasion: 5% Thousand Mechanisms Illusion: Allows the user to switch positions with the umbre. Thousand Transformations: Can change into various forms, altering attributes after transformation. ¡°What the heck? Did my attributes drop this dramatically?¡± Mo Xiao stared at the panel of the Thousand Mechanism Umbre, dumbfounded. He hadn¡¯t expected his attributes to be downgraded so significantly. Seeing this, Mo Xiao quickly switched the Thousand Mechanism Umbre¡¯s form. [Thousand Mechanism Umbre (Sword Form)] Attack Power: 200 Critical Strike: 10% Evasion: 5% Sword Shadow Dance: Summons numerous sword shadows to deal 150% physical damage to the enemy. Cost: 50 MP. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Thousand Transformations: Can change into various forms, altering attributes after transformation. ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao fell into silence, looking at the abysmal attributes. He hadn¡¯t anticipated the equipment¡¯s attributes to weaken so much. ¡°What about the Four Symbols Set?¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but swallow hard and quickly examined his Four Symbols Sacred Armor. [Four Symbols Sacred Armor (Copy)] Defense: 100 Magic Resistance: 100 Health Points: 200 Mana: 200 Introduction: This equipment is a replica of the Four Symbols Sacred Armor. Its attributes have been adjusted. ¡°Damn¡­¡± Looking at the Four Symbols Sacred Armor with less than 10% of its attributes, Mo Xiao could only ept his fate. No wonder it was said that equipment and attributes were useless after entering the Heaven-reaching Tower. Now, it seemed that this was indeed the case. ¡°Character panel!¡± [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao Health Points: 1,050/1,050 Mana Points: 1,090/1,090 Level: LV20 Profession: Solo yer Strength: 105 Agility: ill Spirit: 109 Endurance: 105 Physique: 105 Avable Attribute Points: 190 points Mo Xiao looked at his meager attribute panel and couldn¡¯t help but feel utterly defeated. It was too weak!!! He had all attributes exceeding a thousand!!! And now, what was this? A pathetic character panel? Not to mention breaking through a thousand! Not even reaching 200 in any attribute! ¡°Damn¡­¡± Mo Xiao nearly cursed out loud. [Ding, the preparation time is about to end. Please allocate your attributes and prepare your equipment!] Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Mo Xiao took a deep breath. ¡°System! Allocate all my attributes to Strength!¡± Just like before, Mo Xiao allocated all his attributes to Strength. This allowed Mo Xiao¡¯s strength attribute to break through to 295 points. Although it was decent, it was still pathetic. [Assessment is about to begin! Get ready!] [Five!] [Four!] [Three!] [Two!] [One!!] [Assessment begins! Please defeat 30 Wild Bulls or survive for 30 minutes under their attacks!] As the system prompt sounded, Mo Xiao felt the ground suddenly begin to shake violently. At the same time, the thunderous sound of approaching footsteps echoed in the distance. Mo Xiao looked up to see a cloud of dust approaching. The creators of this dust cloud, a herd of Wild Bulls, were charging toward him. ¡°Wild Bulls?¡± Hearing the name, Mo Xiao¡¯s brow furrowed. In the past, he wouldn¡¯t have cared about these low-level monsters, but now, his current attributes were ridiculously low. If these bulls were very high-level, he couldn¡¯t be sure if he could handle them¡­ ¡°Illusion Breaking Technique!¡± Without hesitation, Mo Xiao used the Illusion Breaking Technique on the Wild Bulls. [Wild Bull] HP: 5,500/5,500 Level: LV20 Strength: 350 Agility: 80 Spirit: 20 Endurance: 50 Physique: 50 Skills: Rampaging Charge (Charges at the target at triple speed, with a 70% chance to stun the target) Armor-Piercing Strength (Passive skill, has a 70% chance to ignore all enemy armor) Mighty Horn Strike (Strikes the target with a massive horn, dealing massive damage) Roaring Thunder (Lets out a deafening roar, damaging nearby enemies and reducing their attack power) In the past, Mo Xiao wouldn¡¯t have given these mobs a second thought. But now, he dared not underestimate them. 350 points of Strength. If this attribute hit his current self, he could forget about living under the bulls! ¡°With more than a thousand mana points, some spells can¡¯t even be used¡­¡± Mo Xiao pondered for a moment, and two Thousand Mechanism Umbres appeared in his hands at the same time. ¡°It seems like skills can still be used¡­¡± ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Power Halo! ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± Mo Xiao used a few familiar skills, and his Thousand Mechanism Umbres transformed into two cannons. Boom! Boom! -3,960! -3,960! -3,960! Apanied by a series of explosions, a terrifying amount of damage erupted in the herd of Wild Bulls, sending many of them flying into the air and crashing down lifeless. Those at the outskirts only suffered explosive damage and were left with just over 1,000 health points. ¡°It seems like talents can stille in handy,¡± Mo Xiao sighed with relief, knowing that if talents were still usable, he had nothing to worry about.. Chapter 165 - 165: Sealing Talent?! Chapter 165: Sealing Talent?! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Meanwhile, outside the Heaven-reaching Tower. Yan Zhantian looked at Mo Xiao¡¯s performance in front of him and frowned slightly, ¡°Old Yao, have you discovered the problem?¡± ¡°Mm¡­¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nodded. ¡°The Heaven-reaching Tower doesn¡¯t seem to have sealed his talent.¡± ¡°I should have reminded this kid earlier. Now that the Heaven-reaching Tower has detected him, by the time he reaches the second floor, all his talents used to enhance hisbat abilities will be sealed.¡± Yanzhan Tian sighed with some helplessness. Yao Shi¡¯er smiled and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t we want to see his true abilities? His talents need to be sealed for us to find out.¡± ¡°Instead of his true abilities, I¡¯d rather see him clear the entire Heaven-reaching Tower,¡± Yan Zhantian said with a smile. Hearing this, Yao Shier couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes. ¡°He¡¯s just a kid. Do you really expect him to clear the entire Heaven-reaching Tower in one go?¡± ¡°Heh, you¡¯re right,¡± Yan Zhantian chuckled and looked at Mo Xiao on the screen. He said, ¡°Now that the first floor was so easy, the second floor is going to be much more challenging. What do you think he¡¯ll do next?¡± Inside the Heaven-reaching Tower, Mo Xiao was jumping and dodging amidst a group of Wild Bulls. He felt quite rxed. [You killed a Wild Bull! Current progress: 23/30] [You killed a Wild Bull! Current progress: 27/30] [You killed a Wild Bull! Current progress: 30/30] [Congrattions on killing 30 bulls. Mission aplished!] As Mo Xiao stabbed thest Wild Bull with his sword, the system notification sounded throughout the entire space. ¡°That¡¯s it? It seems the Heaven-reaching Tower isn¡¯t that difficult,¡± Mo Xiao said nonchntly. [Ding, detecting specialbat talents, adjusting¡­] [Ding, adjustmentplete! Your talents, the Power of the Fire God, the Strength to Move Mountains, Tough Skin, Heart of the Death God, Source of Magic Power, and Heart of the Wood Spirit, have all been sealed!] ¡°Damn! Are you kidding me? They sealed my talents too!¡± Mo Xiao nearly jumped up as he read the system notifications. [Answer: Yourbat talents significantly affected the fairness of the Heaven-reaching Tower, so they were sealed. If you have objections, you can clear the Heaven-reaching Tower first to modify its rules.] ¡°Argh!¡± Mo Xiao cursed upon hearing this. Having his talents sealed meant that hisbat power would drop by several levels. He was no different from an ordinary person. Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and stood in ce, looking at the illusionary space with a fierce expression. He asked, ¡°I don¡¯t have to start over from the first floor, right?¡± [Answer: It was a system error earlier, so it won¡¯t affect your progress in the tower. You can choose to continue or exit the Heaven-reaching Tower.] As the system¡¯s voice sounded, a staircase appeared on the ground not far away, along with a brightly lit door. Obviously, the staircase led upward, while the door allowed him to leave. Mo Xiao took a deep breath and without hesitation, walked up the stairs. [Congrattions on reaching the second floor of the Heaven-reaching Tower! Please prepare yourself!] [Level 2 assessment mission: Kill 59 Wild Bulls and one Wild Bull Elite!] [You have five seconds to prepare!] Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned again. 59 bulls and one elite monster. Clearly, the difficulty of the second floory in the quantity. There was only one more powerful monster. Although his talents were sealed, Mo Xiao had learned the attack patterns of the Wild Bulls from the previous floor. With some caution, he shouldn¡¯t have too much trouble, except for the Elite. ¡°But after clearing this level, I¡¯ll need a bit of rest. 1 didn¡¯t expect a new challenge to begin immediately upon entering the second floor,¡± Mo Xiao muttered to himself, calmly waiting. [5, 4, 3, 2,1! The assessment begins!] Another familiar system notification sounded. However, this time, it was different from the previous level. All around Mo Xiao, bulls appeared at the same time. Moreover, 60 bulls rushed over from different directions at the same time, as if they were surrounding Mo Xiao. In the distance, arger Wild Bull, a Wild Bull Elite, stood motionless, seemingly intelligent, and stared at Mo Xiao with intensity. [Wild Bull ? Elite] HP: 9,000/9,000 Level: LV20 Strength: 500 Agility: 150 Spirit: 30 Endurance: 80 Physique: 80 Skills: Rampaging Charge (Charges at the target at three times the speed with a 70% chance to stun the target) Horn of Armor Break (Passive skill, a 70% chance to ignore all target¡¯s armor) Giant Horn Strike (Strikes the target with a massive horn, causing massive damage) Roaring Thunder (Lets out a deafening roar, causing damage to surrounding enemies and reducing their attack power) Wild Bull Rage (Enters a rage state, increasing its attack power and speed for 10 seconds) Petrifying Gaze (Stares at the target with a 50% chance to petrify it, rendering it unable to move) ¡°Both the attributes and skills have leveled up¡­¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression turned serious as he looked at the panel in front of him. He realized that not only had the Wild Bulls be stronger, but he had also be weaker. ording to the theory of rtivity in the canyon, it was equivalent to this bull being strengthened twice! Just as Mo Xiao was contemting, the first Wild Bull had already reached him. Mo Xiao shifted his body, and the Thousand Mechanism Umbre transformed into two giant swords, shing directly at the bull. -795 -795 Mo Xiao¡¯s two strikes only dealt around 1500 damage, not even enough to deplete the health of a regr Wild Bull. Mo Xiao¡¯s expression grew more solemn. He switched the Thousand Mechanism Umbre in his hand once again, turning it into two massive shields, which he swung in front of him. Immediately, it rubbed against two Wild Bulls, spinning them in between. While flying would be the best way to deal with the Wild Bulls on the ground, Mo Xiao¡¯s magic power was limited, and he wasn¡¯t sure if he could handle this many bulls in the air in a short amount of time. So he decided not to take the risk. ¡°Dragon Language, Sea of Fire!¡± Mo Xiao looked around, and the Thousand Mechanism Umbre transformed into two staffs in his hands. In the next moment, a blue sea of fire erupted from him, spreading in all directions. Almost instantly, an area of a hundred meters in diameter turned into a blue sea of mes. Numerous bulls immediately wailed in agony in the sea of fire. ¡°Earth Control Power!¡± Mo Xiao quickly activated his Earth Control Power, and countless clumps of soil wrapped around the Wild Bulls like a spider web, rendering thempletely immobile. They roasted in the sea of fire. Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao smiled with satisfaction. Just as he was nning to deal with the remaining bulls at his own pace, a terrifying roar suddenly echoed, and in an instant, more than half of the surrounding mes were extinguished.. Chapter 166 - 166: Quick Pass? Reward? Chapter 166: Quick Pass? Reward? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios -1,800 -1,800 -1,800 Watching the continuously shing damage numbers in the sea of fire, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but smile. Although his mana was instantly depleted by a full 500 points, he was already quite satisfied with the range damage that could cause this amount. ¡°Moo!!!¡± However, at this moment, apanied by a deafening roar, the originally scorching blue mes around him suddenly extinguished by more than half. At the same time, Mo Xiao felt an extremely peculiar sense of weakness emerging from within his body. [Wild Bull Elite, using Thunderous Roar, you are affected, and your attack power is reduced by 20%.] Looking at the system information in front of him, Mo Xiao¡¯s brows instantly furrowed. Attack power reduced by 20%! His current damage, even with the dual-wielding and the strongest attack form of the Thousand Mechanism Umbre, was only 895 points! With a further 20% reduction, that would leave him with only 716 points! It was already tough enough, and now it was getting even tougher. Will they let him fight properly? Meanwhile, under the influence of the Thunderous Roar, the Wild Bulls that were still in the sea of fire began to flee one after another, He thought that this move could kill at least 20 to 30 bulls. Unexpectedly, it did not even kill one. Looking at the situation in front of him, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression instantly became solemn, ¡°It seems that this Heaven-reaching Tower really can¡¯t be casually fooled¡­¡± Mo Xiao muttered softly as the Thousand Mechanism Umbre in his hand slowly changed its shape. His left hand turned into a silver-white shield, and his right hand into a gorgeous longsword. Mo Xiao took a deep breath and instantly rushed forward like a bullet. ¡°Brutal Power! ¡°Power Halo! Mo Xiao once again activated these two skills that he was extremely familiar with. The moment the elite bull saw Mo Xiao move, it roared again and stomped the ground fiercely with its hooves. Then it charged towards Mo Xiao at an extremely terrifying speed. ¡°Triple Movement Speed, Frenzied Charge?¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. Instead of waiting on the spot like before, he charged directly at the elite bull. As they were about to collide, Mo Xiao suddenly stepped to the left, and at the same time, his shield tilted slightly. ¡°ng!¡± In the next moment, there was a ringing sound. They directly rammed into Mo Xiao¡¯s shield. But this collision wasn¡¯tplete. The strange angle of Mo Xiao¡¯s shield caused the Bull Elite to slide away. ¡°Advanced Fire Resistance Halo!¡± Mo Xiao saw this and immediately released the Advanced Fire Resistance Halo. The bull elite, who had wanted to brake, darted forward again and crashed into the herd of bulls behind him. ¡°Boom!¡± With the deafening roar of a falling bull, five or six ordinary bulls fell to the ground and couldn¡¯t get up again. [You killed a bull! Current progress: 6/59] ¡°Fifty-three more¡­¡± Mo Xiao took a deep breath and rushed towards the Bull Elite again, his hands switching to the form of gloves. And he fiercely punched the Bull Elite in the rear. ¡°Full-strength attack!¡± -2,864! -1,432! With two lightning-fast punches, the Bull Elite¡¯s HP dropped by more than 4,000 points. ¡°Moo!!!¡± Apanied by a painful wail, the bull elite instantly turned around. Its huge bull horns erged again and charged menacingly toward Mo Xiao¡¯s position. Mo Xiao saw this and turned his left fist form into a shield, gently blocking it, then swiftly turned around with the force of the bull¡¯s charge. His right hand turned the Thousand Mechanism Umbre into a small dagger, and with the spinning force, he stabbed it into a certain indescribable area. ¡°Cloud-Piercing Thrust!!¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s dagger seemed to turn into a blur, rapidly stabbing five times in a certain unmentionable area. -1,432 -1,432 -1,432 -1,432 -1,432 Five consecutive high damage hits of over 1,000 appeared above the Bull Elite¡¯s head. ¡°Moo!!!¡± Apanied by a painful wail, the bull elite instantly fell to the ground. [Congrattions on killing an elite bull! Current progress: 1/1!] Looking at the corpses of the Bull Elite on the ground, Mo Xiao looked around and darted out again, quickly running in front of each bull. Almost instantly, it attracted the aggro of all the bulls. ¡°Very good¡­¡± Looking at the bulls rushing towards him, Mo Xiao grinned. Finally, he stood on the corpse of the bull elite and jumped. ¡°Flight Spell!¡± Then his entire body floated in mid-air. ¡°Corpse Explosion!¡± Just as all the bulls gathered around the Bull Elite, Mo Xiao instantly activated this skill that he had almost never used before. Immediately, a dazzling light exploded on the ground. And after the light, there was a deafening explosion. In an instant, all the bulls were sent flying by this terrifying explosion. [You killed a bull! Current progress: 6/59] [You killed a bull! Current progress: 7/59] [You killed a bull! Current progress: 8/59] [You killed a bull! Current progress: 59/59!] [All the bulls have been killed. Congrattions to Mo Xiao, the challenger, for passing the second level!] [Completion time: 5 minutes and 34 seconds!] [Since youpleted the second level within 10 minutes, you can receive a reward!] [Please choose!] O O o Looking at the options that suddenly appeared in front of him, Mo Xiao was also stunned. After looking at them for a while, he said, ¡°1 want mana points. I choose the upper limit of 1,500 MP.¡± [Congrattions, you have obtained the upper limit of 500 MP! Current MP: 1,590.] ¡°Just another 500 points and I can summon the Skeleton Lord.¡± Mo Xiao licked his lips, although he thought so, he had no idea when the next reward woulde. [Congrattions on passing the second level. Do you want to enter the third level?] ¡°Let¡¯s goter¡­ I need to rest for a while.¡± Outside the Heaven-reaching Tower, all the examinees were whispering to each other. At this time, Mo Xiao¡¯s battle scene was ying on therge screen. Because at this moment, everyone was still struggling on the first level, and only Mo Xiao had cleared the second level. Moreover, because he cleared the level too quickly, he obtained the reward of the Heaven-reaching Tower. Not far away, Yan Zhantian watched Mo Xiao on the screen and couldn¡¯t help but smack his lips. ¡°This kid is really something. I didn¡¯t expect him to get the Quick Pass reward on his first try. He¡¯s really extraordinary. ¡°His skills are powerful enough. He¡¯s truly a solo yer. If there are more solo yers in the future, they should be nurtured well.¡± Chapter 167 Third Level, Lord Boss Chapter 167 Third Level, Lord Boss Ten minutester, Mo Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes. "Whew, luckily, I can still use the Return to Origin Art. At least I don''t have to sit here for too long." Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao stood up directly and said, "System, I want to proceed to the next floor." [Yes, I''ll open the passageway to the next level for you now.] With the sound of the system''s prompt, the staircase, just like before, appeared in front of Mo Xiao. Without another word, Mo Xiao walked up the stairs. [Congrattions on reaching the third level of the Heaven-reaching Tower! Please be prepared!] [Third level assessment mission, kill the Gatekeeper Boss!] [You have one minute to prepare!] "Gatekeeper boss? Bosses are already appearing on the third floor? What''s waiting for me ahead?" Seeing this message, Mo Xiao''s eyes instantly widened. [Boss information has been sent. Challenger, please check it on your own.] "Hmm? Information sent?" Mo Xiao muttered to himself and then directly opened the information sent by the system. [Rampaging Iron Horn, Lord-level boss] Level: LV20 HP: 12,000/12,000 Strength: 800 Agility: 500 Intelligence: 80 Endurance: 400 Physique: 200 Bulls Summoning: Summons three Irond Wild Bulls to assist in attacks. Rampaging Charge: Charges into the target, causing significant damage. Heavy Strike Cracks the Earth: Strikes the ground with its heavy hooves, causing yers in a certain range to lose bnce and take damage. Thick Armor: Possesses high defense capabilities, reducing physical damage by 60%. Elemental Reflection: The skin of the Bull Tribe Leader has the special ability to reflect elemental magic, with a 25% chance of bouncing the caster''s elemental magic back at them. Magic Vulnerability: Very sensitive to magic attack damage. Increases elemental skill damage received by 10%. "Just give it to a Lord-tier boss¡­" Looking at the attributes of the berserk iron horn in front of him, Mo Xiao''s expression became ugly again. This attribute did not look very strong, but with its strength value, as long as it touched him, he would probably kneel there. "What is an Iron-Armored Bull?" Mo Xiao frowned and tapped on the words Iron-Armored Bull. Then, another panel appeared in front of Mo Xiao. [Armored Bull] Level: LV 10 HP:1000/1000 Strength: 200 Agility: 80 Spirit: 480 Endurance: 100 Physique: 150 Herbivorous characteristics: Increases damage taken from all grass-type attacks by 20%.

Defensive stance: Enter a defensive stance, reducing damage received by 25%. Ox Tribe Mutual Assistance: Summoned by Berserk Iron Horn. When other neighboring Ox Tribes exist, gains an additional 20% damage and increased magic resistance. "You call this a level 10 monster?" Looking at the panel, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. Although there were only three of them, these were only the boss''s summoning skills. It was obvious that they could be summoned without limit. Just as Mo Xiao was frowning, the system prompt sounded again. [Last five seconds!] [5, 4, 3, 2, 1! The tower challenge begins!] As the system notification fell, a blue light lit up, and a huge bull that was three to four meters tall appeared directly in front of Mo Xiao. The most unique thing was the two horns on his head. They were like metal, shining with a dazzling metallic luster under the sunlight. "Not only can it reflect elemental magic, but it can also block 60% of physical damage¡­ It seems that I can only slowly kill this boss." Mo Xiao sighed helplessly. With a thought, the sword and shield appeared in his hand again. "Moo!!!" Before Mo Xiao could make a move, another cry sounded. Apanied by a cloud of dust, three calves appeared beside the huge cow at the same time. "Summoning directly at the beginning¡­" Mo Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the four bulls in front of him seriously. It directly rushed towards the four bulls. ¡­ Meanwhile, outside the Heaven-reaching Tower. "Old Yao, do you still remember the first time you came to this level?" Yan Zhantian looked at Mo Xiao''s actions in the image and asked with a smile. Yao Shi''er nced at Yan Zhantian and said, "I only remember someone who was so smug that he directly fought with the bulls. Then, he was directly beaten out by the three little bulls." "Ahem¡­ I''m asking you! Why are you talking about my embarrassing matters!" Yan Zhantian coughed awkwardly and said unhappily. "As long as we can find this bull''s weakness on the third level, it won''t be difficult. We can resolve the battle in a few minutes, but it''s very difficult to find this weakness," Yao Shi''er said. Suddenly, she turned to look at Su Jin''er beside her and said, "Jin''er, you didn''t tell Mo Xiao about this boss''s weakness, did you?" "Huh??? How can you doubt me!" When Su Jin''er heard this, she hurriedly said, "I only told him that he can''t use his own attributes and equipment in the Tower of Babel. How could I tell him the method to challenge the tower!" "That''s good." Yao Shi''er nodded in satisfaction. "If I tell him, it won''t be interesting." Yan Zhantian quietly looked at Mo Xiao, who was fighting on the screen, and said, "Old Yao, why don''t we make a bet?" "?" Yao Shi''er raised her eyes and looked at Yan Zhantian again. "Are you betting on which floor this little guy can reach again?" "Hehe, yes!" Yan Zhantian grinned and said, "I bet that he can climb to¡­ the 25th floor!" When Yao Shi''er heard this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "If you lose, what are you prepared to give?" "I''ll give you whatever you like!" Yan Zhantian said confidently. "Alright, then you can take my shift once," Yao Shi''er said with a smile. "F*ck! You want to take away two years of my free time just because of a bet?!" Yan Zhantian almost jumped up when he heard this. "You brought it up yourself. Take it or leave it." "I''ll bet! I have the same conditions as you! If I win, I want you to rece me once!" Yan Zhantian shouted directly. "No problem." Yao Shi''er smiled slightly. "I''ll bet that he can pass the seventeenth floor at most." Listening to the bet between the two of them, Su Jin''er, who was at the side, pouted unhappily and said, "I want to bet too! I bet that Junior Brother will definitely pass the 30th floor!" Yan Zhantian was also stunned when he heard this. He immediately grinned and said, "You want to bet on this? Sure! But you have to take out the bet~" When Su Jin''er heard this, she gritted her teeth and said, "If I lose, I''ll give this to you!" "A red-quality staff?! Where did you get it?!" Looking at the staff in Su Jin''er''s hand, the two of them widened their eyes at the same time, their faces filled with surprise. "Don''t worry about that! Anyway, if I win, each of you have to agree to one condition of mine! How about it?!" Chapter 168 Onward! Chapter 168 Onward! Inside the Heaven-reaching Tower. Mo Xiao moved like a fish in water. He shuttled back and forth beside Berserk Iron Horn. Every time he shuttled, he caused considerable damage to the four bull-like creatures. No matter how Berserk Iron Horn raged and struggled to change direction, it couldn''t keep up with Mo Xiao''s speed. None of its seemingly powerful skills couldnd a hit on Mo Xiao. They were either easily dodged or bounced back by Mo Xiao''s shield. Not only did it fail to harm Mo Xiao, due to Mo Xiao''s shield reflection, it ended up covered in wounds. Twenty minutester. Under Mo Xiao''s frantic scraping, apanied by a shrill scream from the Berserk Iron Horn, it fell heavily to the ground. [You killed the Lord-level boss, Berserk Iron Horn! Congrattions to Mo Xiao, the challenger, for passing the 3rd floor!] [Congrattions on passing the 3rd floor. Do you want to immediately enter the 4th floor and begin the challenge?] "I''ll goter." Just like before, Mo Xiao did not directly enter the next level. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the spot and rested. "The 3rd floor was a boss¡­ What should the 4th floor be? Bronze-level boss? Or upgraded monsters?" Mo Xiao pondered as he rubbed his chin, not saying much, and closed his eyes to recover his state. Another 10 minutes passed, and Mo Xiao once again called the system and proceeded to the next level. The moment he entered the 4th floor, Mo Xiao frowned slightly. This was because the weather here had changed. At this moment, it was raining heavily on the entire 4th floor. [Congrattions on reaching the 4th floor of the Heaven-reaching Tower! Please be prepared!] [4th floor assessment task: Please kill five Irond Lizards!] "Irond Lizards? Are they just regr monsters? Why are there only five?" Mo Xiao looked at the system information and fell silent for a moment. Soon, five Lizard people, d in iron armor and wielding spears, appeared not far away. Soon, five Lizard people, d in iron armor and wielding spears, appeared not far away. In the next moment, they turned into five ck shadows and disappeared from the grasnd. Watching the Irond Lizards suddenly disappear, Mo Xiao furrowed his brow again, "They''re so fast; it seems the characteristics of the monsters on this floor are different from before." [Irond Lizard] Level: LV20 HP: 2,000/2,000 Strength: 150 Agility: 500 Spirit: 70 Endurance: 120 Physique: 200 Irond Shell: Reduces all physical damage by 50%. Swift Shadows: Its attacks are rted to its speed; the faster it is, the higher the damage. Fatal Strike: Has a 10% chance of dealing triple damage when attacking. Enters a defensive posture, reducing damage taken by 25%. Elemental Bonus: Can add water elemental attributes to its attacks, causing additional elemental damage. Looking at the attributes of the lizard in front of him, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, "Fragile but high attack, an assassin type?" "These are much easier to deal with than those tanky guys." Mo Xiao held his shield and stood still, waiting for the Irond Lizards to attack. Although 500 agility was very high for ordinary people, it was nothing in front of Mo Xiao. No matter how they attacked, they would be instantly repelled by Mo Xiao''s shield. In just a few minutes, all five Irond Lizards were killed under Mo Xiao''s shield. It could be said that Mo Xiao didn''t even need to attack; he simply bounced these lizards to death with his shield. And Mo Xiao easily moved on to the next challenge. ¡­ . Two hourster. The other nine positions of the Heaven-reaching Tower had changed challengers more than four times. Mo Xiao, on the other hand, continued to charge upwards. After two hours of climbing, Mo Xiao had reached the 16th floor. At the same time, Mo Xiao had figured out some tricks. In the Heaven-reaching Tower, every three levels, the monsters would change, and thebat style of each monster would be different. The same type of monster would only appear three times, the first time as regr monsters, the second time as elite monsters along with regr ones, and the third time as boss-level monsters. Although none of them were easy to deal with, there were no situations that were unbeatable. [You killed 10 skeleton mages! Congrattions on passing the 16th level!] With a pleasant system notification sound, Mo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. Clearly, these 10 skeleton mages had put considerable pressure on Mo Xiao, making it difficult for him. "Phew¡­ 16th floor. No wonder the Sword Emperor thinks that I can only make it to the 20th floor. This difficulty is indeed no joke¡­" Mo Xiao mumbled to himself as he sat on the ground. After all, starting from the 10th floor, with each ascending level, the monsters'' levels increased, making it even more challenging for Mo Xiao, who already had inadequate attack power. [Congrattions, Challenger, you have sessfully passed the 16th floor. The challenges ahead will be even more formidable, so please prepare yourself.] "Even more formidable? Is the difficulty going to double?" Mo Xiao asked curiously. [Answer: Starting from the 17th floor, there will be a boss on every floor.] "What?" Mo Xiao''s expression froze instantly. A boss on every floor? "Are there no other regr monsters?" Mo Xiao asked with a serious expression. [You have exhausted your questioning opportunity. Please explore on your own.] Hearing this, Mo Xiao''s expression became even more grim. After some contemtion, Mo Xiao closed his eyes and seriously focused on recovering his condition. After going through these dozen floors of trials, Mo Xiao gained three more rewards. This directly raised his mana pool to 3,000, making it morefortable for him to unleash his skills. Ten minutester, Mo Xiao once again ascended the stairs and reached the 17th floor. [Congrattions on reaching the 17th floor of the Heaven-reaching Tower! Please be prepared!] [17th-floor assessment task: Under the interference of the boss, kill 30 Flying Mantises or survive for 30 minutes!] [Assessment begins!] As soon as Mo Xiao entered the 17th floor, the system notification sound rang out. This time, there was no preparation time given to Mo Xiao; the assessment started immediately. In the next moment, 30 eerie ck shadows appeared in the sky, and behind those shadows, a gigantic figure slowly approached Mo Xiao, apanied by five Flying Mantises. "What is this¡­" Looking at the massive circr object in the sky, with a diameter of at least 10 meters, Mo Xiao even instinctively took a step back. After all, this thing was just too massive; it could bepared to a house! Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao couldn''t help but swallow hard. He used the Illusion Technique to attack the strange spherical object. [Bug Mother Nest¡ªDiamond Level Boss] Attributes: ??? Introduction: This boss is shielded by the Heaven-reaching Tower. Its attributes cannot be detected by any skill, it cannot be attacked, destroyed, or detected! "Diamond-level boss¡­ You''ve got to be kidding me, right? You want me to kill regr monsters with the help of this thing? Are you joking?!" Chapter 169 - 169: An Unfinished Assessment? Chapter 169: An Unfinished Assessment? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Looking at the flying mantis in the air and the huge mother nest, Mo Xiao took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the Flying Mantis at the side. He used the Illusion Breaking Technique again. [Flying Mantis] Level: LV30 HP: 5,000/5,000 Strength: 220 Agility: 400 Spirit: 150 Endurance: 280 Physique: 250 Aerial Mastery: Enhances self-state, increasing speed and evasion. Wind de sh: Swiftly sweeps over the target with a quick move, dealing physical damage and stunning. Heavenly Thunderfall: Summons thunder to strike, causing a substantial amount of lightning damage. Sky-Locking de: Blocks space with rapid rotation of the de, capable of interrupting enemy skills. ¡°Jumped straight to level 30¡­¡± Mo Xiao gritted his teeth, ¡°Fortunately, its attributes aren¡¯t too terrifying¡­ I hope that the mother nest isn¡¯t too strong¡­¡± With that, Mo Xiao¡¯s Thousand Mechanism Umbre instantly transformed into a staff shape. ¡°Skeleton Lord!¡± Although it only had 3,000 mana points, Mo Xiao immediately summoned the Skeleton Lord. Not to mention anything else, after all, the Skeleton Lord had the skill of sharing life. With him around, he could tolerate some mistakes. Just as Mo Xiao was thinking about how to deal with the Flying Mantis, the huge mother nest suddenly trembled. In the next moment, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded. Following that, a cloud of ck fog suddenly flew out from the mother nest, and then dispersed, surrounding the flying mantis. Looking at this thing, Mo Xiao frowned slightly and used the Illusion Breaking Technique again.

Sucking blood was one thing, but being able to use the sucked blood on others? Moreover, they were fast in flight and could dodge 60% of attacks? And he even needed to kill all the mosquitoes to defeat them! This was too much! Looking at this dark swarm, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t even tell how many of them there were. If these mosquitoes swarmed him all at once, wouldn¡¯t they suck him dry in an instant? Just as Mo Xiao was gritting his teeth in frustration, he suddenly felt a pain in his arm. A mosquito had appeared on his arm without him noticing. [-i],[-i],[-i],[-U¡­ In just a few breaths of time, his health seemed to be draining rapidly, as if through a pipe. Seeing this, Mo Xiao immediately pped the mosquito on his arm. -295 A damage of not too big nor too small shed by in an instant. The mosquito¡¯s health bar was obviously emptied, but it quickly recovered. Just as Mo Xiao was puzzled, he looked up again and saw some mosquitoes on the Flying Mantis sucking blood, saving their nearly dyingpanions. ¡°Damn! Can they even do that?! These mosquitoes are really disgusting!¡± Of course, Mo Xiao had no choice, as the monsters didn¡¯t give him time to think. Without waiting for Mo Xiao toe up with a solution, 30 Flying Mantises rushed at him with their huge sickles. ¡°Shield Counter!¡± Mo Xiao saw this and raised his shield, instantly blocking the attacks of the Flying Mantises. At the same time, he reflected their attacks back at them. Seeing the health bars of the Flying Mantises drop significantly, Mo Xiao hadn¡¯t even had time to rejoice when he saw their health bars recover again. From this situation, either he had to deal with thirty Flying Mantises in one go, or he had to spend a considerable amount of time grinding them down. After all, they could be considered to share their life. Only by consuming all their health could the battle be resolved. Outside the Heaven-reaching Tower, Yan Zhantian watched Mo Xiao eagerly. ¡°Use fire attribute attacks! Use fire quickly! These bugs are most afraid of fire!!¡± At the side, Su Jin¡¯er and Yao Shi¡¯er looked at the excited Yan Zhantian with speechless expressions. ¡°Why are you so excited?¡± ¡°This is the 17th floor. As long as he can pass the 17th floor, you lose!¡± Yan Zhantian said excitedly. When Yao Shi¡¯er heard this, she rolled her eyes at Yan Zhantian and said, ¡°How can he possibly defeat so many mother nest creatures? His current magic points are only 3,000, and even if he uses an area-of-effect skill like the Sea of Fire, he doesn¡¯t have enough magic points to squander. ¡°This is the downside of having such powerful skills. His magic points are simply not enough.¡± When Yan Zhantian heard this, he looked at Yao Shi¡¯er unhappily, ¡°How do you know he can¡¯t make it? Didn¡¯t you think he might not make it on the fifteenth floor before? But he passed, didn¡¯t he?¡± ¡°This is different.¡± Yao Shi¡¯er looked at Yan Zhantian and said in a low voice, ¡°By the way, why don¡¯t you take a look at the assessments of the other disciples? Didn¡¯t you say you didn¡¯t have any disciples yourself? ¡°Mo Xiao¡¯s talent is unmatched. Anyway, I¡¯ve decided to take him as my disciple!¡± Just as Yan Zhantian and the others were curious about what Mo Xiao would do, Mo Xiao raised his hand and a burst of mes erupted. Countless mosquitoes seemed to have been scorched and fell from the sky. Even the effect of the mosquito swarm couldn¡¯t save them. ¡°It looks like bugs are all afraid of fire attribute skills.¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes brightened. He raised the staff in his hand. ¡°Sea of Fire!¡± This time, it wasn¡¯t that Mo Xiao didn¡¯t want to use Dragon Language magic, but his magic points couldn¡¯t support him in casting Dragon Language magic. He could only try using a regr Sea of Fire. With the appearance of the Sea of Fire, all the mosquitoes scattered, except for therge Flying Mantis that couldn¡¯t dodge and was directly hit by the mes. In an instant, their bodies seemed to be on fire as if oil had been poured on them. Just when Mo Xiao thought there was hope, those mosquitoes suddenly went crazy, rushing towards him frantically. In almost an instant, they surrounded Mo Xiao andunched attacks at him. Even though Mo Xiao was using fire magic, they still rushed forward. Seeing this scene, his heart tightened. He quickly retreated, but for some reason, the mosquitoes¡¯ movement speed was extremely fast. Seeing this, he gritted his teeth and a ball of mes suddenly emerged from his chest. The next moment, his entire body turned into mes.. Chapter 170 - 170: Disgusting Bug Tribe Chapter 170: Disgusting Bug Tribe Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Fire Elemental Form!?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s body turn into mes, Yan Zhantian¡¯s eyes instantly widened. Fire Elemental Transformation was a skill that he was extremely familiar with. This could be considered one of his signature skills. His entire body turned into mes. Not only was he immune to all physical attacks, but he could also burn creatures that approached him. And because it was fire, it had the ability to fly. Its flying speed was quite fast. The only disadvantage was that there would be a longer period of hardness when the elementalization was removed. Only then would the user be more passive. What shocked Yan Zhantian was how Mo Xiao knew his own skill. After all, there were only a few people in the world who knew this skill. This kid who had only transitioned a few months ago actually had such a skill. It once again refreshed his understanding of Mo Xiao. At the side, Su Jin¡¯er looked at Yan Zhantian¡¯s excited appearance and covered her mouth with a smile. As an insider, she naturally knew how Mo Xiao had obtained this skill. Yao Shi¡¯er looked at Su Jin¡¯er, who was secretlyughing, and asked faintly, ¡°Jin¡¯er, looking at your expression, you seem to know something?¡± ¡°All? 1 don¡¯t know! 1 don¡¯t know anything!¡± Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er hurriedly covered her mouth. Seeing this, Yan Zhantian and Yao Shi¡¯er looked at each other and focused their gazes on Su Jin¡¯er. At this moment, in the Heaven-reaching Tower. Mo Xiao transformed into a ball of mes and flew toward the horde of bloodthirsty blood mosquitoes. In less than 30 seconds, all the bloodthirsty blood mosquitoes were turned into charred remains under Mo Xiao¡¯s fiery assault. Even the flying mantises were ignited and constantly lost blood. Thirty secondster, Mo Xiao quickly distanced himself andnded on the ground at high speed. As soon as Mo Xiao returned to the ground, his body, which had transformed into mes, extinguished instantly, returning to human form. Just as Mo Xiao was catching his breath, 30 flying mantises charged at him. Seeing this, Mo Xiao switched the form of his Thousand Mechanism Umbre in his hand once again, turning it into a sword and shield, and confronted the flying mantises. Without those disgusting bloodthirsty magic patterns, these flying mantises were much easier to deal with. After fighting for about five minutes, a familiar buzzing sound echoed once more. Arger group of mosquitoes than before flew out of the insect nest in the distance, filling the entire sky and flying rapidly towards Mo Xiao¡¯s location. ¡°They¡¯reing again?!¡± Watching the overwhelming number of mosquitoes, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. He gritted his teeth and, without a second thought, used Elemental Transformation again to charge at the mosquitoes. Although Elemental Transformation was both an offensive and defensive ability, the so-called ¡®offensive¡¯ part only involved burning the opponent with fire, and it didn¡¯t allow Mo Xiao to actively attack. This skill had been dormant in Mo Xiao¡¯s skill list for a long time, and he only remembered it now because it was effective against these troublesome mosquitoes. If Yan Zhantian knew about this idea, he would surely be furious. After all, who would have thought of using their signature skill? It was actually used by a brat to kill mosquitoes! And it was a group of Level 1 mosquitoes. Thirty minutester, Mo Xiao shed out with his sword and finally knocked thest flying mantis down from the sky. The mosquitoes that were originally speeding towards Mo Xiao in midair instantly stopped their movements. Then, as if they had run out of electricity, they fell one after another and stopped moving. [You killed Flying Mantis 30/30!] [Congrattions to Mo Xiao, the challenger, for passing the 17th level!] [Congrattions on passing the 17th level. Do you want to immediately enter the 18th level and begin the challenge?] ¡°Let me take a break¡­ This floor took me 40 minutes. This is too difficult!¡± Mo Xiao sighed helplessly. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me there will be these disgusting mosquitoes on the next level?¡± Not only were these mosquitoes disgusting, but they could also restore the monsters¡¯ HP. Several times, the flying mantises that were about to be killed by Mo Xiao were healed by these disgusting Bloodthirsty Demon Mosquitoes. In addition, every time these Demon Mosquitoes were killed, a new batch would definitely appear in 10 minutes. This made Mo Xiao even more helpless. If he didn¡¯t kill them, they would heal the Flying Mantises again. If he killed them, they would respawn again, which gave Mo Xiao an iparable headache. Fortunately, he braced himself and passed this level. He only hoped that there wouldn¡¯t be anything so disgusting on the next level. After resting for twenty minutes, Mo Xiao once again headed to the next floor. Starting from the 17th floor, the monsters on the lower floors were almost all insects. And this huge mother nest was on almost every floor. Although it would not take the initiative to attack, it would summon different insects on each level to assist the monsters guarding this level and attack together. The 17th floor¡¯s Bloodthirsty Demon Mosquitoes and the 18th floor¡¯s Devil-Devouring Demon Insects, one sucking blood and the other absorbing mana, made Mo Xiao want to rush up and blow up the bug n mother nest. Fortunately, Mo Xiao had sessfully dealt with them. Another two hourster. The 20th floor of the Heaven-reaching Tower. That¡¯s right. Although he had only climbed four levels, it had taken him a total of 20 hours. This was the difficulty of the Heaven-reaching Tower. The higher one went, the more difficult it was, and the longer the time required. [Congrattions on reaching the 20th floor of the Heaven-reaching Tower! Please be prepared!] [Level 20 assessment mission, please kill the mother nest!] ¡°!!!¡± Hearing this information, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes instantly widened. Instinctively, he looked up. The huge mother nest that was the size of a house broke through the clouds for the first time and slowly descended to the ground. [Ding. Due to the special nature of the mother nest, only by killing the mother nest and all the summoned creatures it summons can the tower challenger be considered to have cleared the level!] ¡°Do 1 have to kill all the summoned creatures too?¡± Hearing this information, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression became even more unpleasant. One had to know that this mother nest was a diamond-level boss! Not to mention its own ability, just the little bugs it summoned to cause trouble were already giving him a headache. This time, the bug n mother nest appeared directly, and who knew what kind of creatures it would summon. Just as Mo Xiao was frowning in thought, the huge mother nest suddenly trembled. Its metallic shell, which had been as hard as steel, slowly opened. The next moment, it released a strong, foul odor. [You have been poisoned!] Before Mo Xiao could react, a message immediately appeared in front of him. [-10] [-10] In the next moment, his health points began to plummet like water, decreasing by 200 points in just 10 seconds. It was a terrifying decrease of 20 HP in a second.lt was a terrifying rate of 20 points per second.. Chapter 171 - 171: Explosive Bug?! Chapter 171: Explosive Bug?! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Sacred Radiance!¡± As his rapidly decreasing health rmed him, Mo Xiao quickly used his purification skill. Immediately, a ball of green mist spread out from his body. His HP, which had been plummeting, stopped declining at that moment. Relieved, Mo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and once again released the Illusion Breaking Technique on the mother nest. [Weak Bug Tribe Mother Nest¡ªDiamond Level Boss] Level: LV30 HP: 200/80,000 Strength: 100 Agility: 0 Spirit: 3,000 Endurance: 10,000 Physique: 20 Skills: Hatching: Summons arge number of bug warriors onto the battlefield, continuously refreshing their numbers over time, causing significant damage to yers.

Bug Tribe Power: Possesses the power of the abyss queen, inflicting poison damage with her attacks, causing even more damage to yers. Bug Tribe Summoning: Randomly summons 30 special Bug Tribe warriors with extremely strongbat power. Looking at the attribute panel in front of him, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression was very strange. Because the attributes of this Bug Mother Nest were very strange. Despite being a Diamond-level boss, its HP was only 200 points, its agility was 0, and its strength was pitiful. However, its endurance and spirit were terrifyingly high. Mo Xiao, with his brutal power, could easily take it down in one hit. However, looking at the skill panel of the mother nest, it seemed very challenging to get close to it. Just as Mo Xiao was thinking about how to deal with the mother nest, the massive nest suddenly trembled. The previously open shell instantly closed, and on its smooth surface, mysterious small holes slowly opened. In the next moment, countless strange creatures resembling ants crawled out of these small holes, ring at Mo Xiao with fierce expressions. ¡°Are these the warriors summoned by the nest? This Heaven-reaching Tower seems to enjoy group fights!¡± Mo Xiao sighed helplessly and once again used the Illusion Breaking Technique to examine the attributes of these Bug Tribe warriors. [Bug Tribe Warrior] Level: LV30 HP: 4,000/4,000 Attack Power: 220 Defense: 280 Attack Speed: 190 Speed:190 Intelligence: 140 Skills: Acid Spray: Fires a stream of acid, causing area-of-effect acid damage in the target area. Spore Spit: Releases spores at the target, causing dizziness and poison damage. Piercing Attack: Charges at high speed in a straight line, ramming and sending the target flying, causing significant physical damage. Swarm Defense: Summons special shells within a certain range, continuously providing additional shields. Selfless Protection: Abandons all defense, instantly appearing in front of the target that needs protection, taking the attack on its behalf. Looking at the attribute panel, Mo Xiao¡¯s brows furrowed. Although these attributes were slightly weaker than the earlier Flying Mantis and without the annoying mosquitoes, the number of Bug Tribe warriors was overwhelming. It had only been half a minute since the mother nest¡¯s shell closed, and there were already 50 to 60 of them. They showed no intention of attacking, merely surrounding the nest. ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try first¡­¡± Mo Xiao muttered, and his Thousand Mechanism Umbre instantly transformed into a bow and arrow, taking aim at the nearby mother nest. In the next moment, a silver-white arrow instantly tore through the air and headed straight for the mother nest. Just as the arrow was about to hit the mother nest, one of the Bug Tribe warriors suddenly leaped and instantly appeared in front of the arrow. -1,790! Immediately, a high damage appeared on the bug n warrior¡¯s body, but the bug tribe mother nest was unscathed. ¡°Selfless Protection¡­ That¡¯s why it summoned so many of these warriors. It seems impossible to get close to the mother nest before eliminating them,¡± Mo Xiao said with a serious expression, gazing at the mother nest not far away. Right at this moment, the mother nest trembled once more, and the hole that had summoned the bug n warriors earlier slowly closed. At the same time, it appeared directly above it again. Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, a red ray of light instantly crossed the entire in and instantly appeared in front of him. In an instant, Mo Xiao saw a white light sh. A violent roar instantly sounded. Even Mo Xiao barely had time to raise his shield in front of him. ¡°Boom!¡± As a deafening st echoed, Mo Xiao was sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground not far away. [-500!] ¡°An explosion? What¡¯s going on?¡± Mo Xiao looked bewildered as he saw his health drop by five hundred points. There was no mention of this skill on the mother nest¡¯s panel. What was happening? ¡°Could it be these creatures it summoned?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was puzzled, two more red beams of light shot up into the sky and appeared on both sides, as if they wanted to blow him up directly. Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils shrank, and two shields appeared on both sides, enveloping him. ¡°Boom! Boom!¡± Two more explosions sounded. Mo Xiao was once again sent flying. [-500!] Although the damage was still five hundred points, two consecutive explosions almost killed Mo Xiao. ¡°Explosive bug?¡± Mo Xiao, who was on the ground, could barely see what was flying over. It was just an Explosive Bug, but from the looks of it, the damage of this Explosive Bug seemed to be fixed 500 points. Regardless of how many hit him, he would only lose 500 health. However, its speed was astonishing, and Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t evade it in time. Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and directly used the Divine Healing Technique, instantly filling up his health points. ¡°Phew¡­ Fortunately, the Divine Healing Technique can still be used.¡± Mo Xiao let out a sigh of relief, then pped the ground with hisrge hand. Immediately, countless earthen walls sprang up, surrounding him and leaving only the front exposed. It seemed to have specially left an attack direction for the Explosive Bug. ¡°It seems that before attacking, 1 have to figure out the attack frequency of this explosive bug.¡± At that moment, the terrifying red light appeared once again, almost instantly reaching Mo Xiao. Seeing this, he raised his shield and swung it violently. ¡°ng!¡± In an instant, a red streak of light flew back along the previous trajectory.. Chapter 172 - 172: Chain Explosions? Chapter 172: Chain Explosions? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°ng!¡± A special shield anti-sound effect sounded. The red bomber bug instantly stopped in front of Mo Xiao. In the next moment, as if it had suffered a strange attack, it instantly flew back at a speed even faster than before, flying directly above the mother nest. The moment the bomber bug paused, Mo Xiao sessfully released his Illusion Breaking Technique. [Bomber Flying Bug] Level: LV30 HP: 500/500 Strength: 1 Agility: 3,000 Spirit: 1 Endurance: 10 Physique: 50 Skills: Self-Destruct: Approaches the target at terrifying speed, detonates itself, dealing damage equal to its own maximum HP to the target, ignoring any defense and block. Explosive Trait: Any stimulus can trigger an explosion, high mobility makes them difficult to hit. ¡°Is this a monster that can self-destruct?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the bomber bug, his expression bing solemn. Although he could shield against attacks, the speed of this small flying insect was simply too fast, with an agility of 3,000. He found it difficult to react in time. At this moment, the bomber bug that was repelled by Mo Xiao¡¯s shield had already appeared above the mother nest. Just as it was about to explode, dozens of bug warriors appeared in front of the bomber bug as if they had teleported. ¡°Boom!¡± Apanied by a series of explosions, countless insectoid warriors were sent flying. As for the mother nest, it was protected behind these bug warriors, not suffering any damage. It would be good if this explosion could directly kill these bug warriors. However, the damage from the explosion was only 500 points, which was nothing to these bug warriors. Mo Xiao watched the situation in front of him with a constantly changing expression. As the explosion ended, nine small holes appeared on the surface of the mother nest simultaneously. At the same time, nine red shadows instantly flew out of the small hole and sped towards Mo Xiao again. ¡°Fire Elemental Transformation!¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao turned into mes again and quickly fled. ¡°Boom!¡± Another explosion sounded, and Mo Xiao, who had turned into mes, was instantly sent flying. [-500!] Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils constricted when he saw the blood line decrease again. He originally thought that this explosion was considered physical damage and could avoid this damage after elementalization. Unexpectedly, it didn¡¯t help at all. It only flew further when it was sted. ¡°This is too unscientific! How can the mes still lose health after being blown up!¡± Mo Xiao took advantage of the fact that he had been blown away and hurriedly canceled his elemental transformation state,nding back on the ground. Seeing that the bomber flying bugs were about to arrive, Mo Xiao, who had always been calm, panicked. In the past, no matter what kind of crisis it was, there would always be a chance to turn the tables. But this time, all of Mo Xiao¡¯s life-saving abilities had been sealed by the Heaven-reaching Tower. If he died, it would really be over. ¡°Shadowless!¡± Just as the remaining eight red lights were about to catch up to him, Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and activated his Shadowless Technique. He originally wanted to use the tenfold speed to escape from these terrifying flying insects. However, the moment he activated Shadowless, the bomber bugs that were chasing Mo Xiao crazily instantly stopped their movements, as if they had lost their target, and directly froze. Looking at the motionless bomber bugs, Mo Xiao was puzzled. ¡°Why aren¡¯t they moving?¡± After a moment of contemtion, he quickly opened his skill panel. [Shadowless: A red-tier skill, one of the top escape skills. When activated, the body turns into nothingness, leaving no trace, making it impossible for anyone to detect your whereabouts! Effect: +1000% movement speed, and enter invisibility status. While invisible, you cannot attack, be attacked, or recover health, otherwise, the invisibility status will be immediately lifted. It consumes 5 points of mana per second and canst indefinitely, with the ability to interrupt at will. If interrupted for the reasons mentioned above, it cannot be used again for 30 seconds.] Tenfold movement speed, entering invisibility status¡­ In other words, after he activated Shadowless, these explosive insects would not be able to discover his existence. After losing their target, they naturally stopped. ¡°I think I see a turning point¡­¡± Looking at the motionless bomber bugs, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes lit up as he looked around. Then, he charged towards the bug warriors. The moment he charged into the group of bug warriors, he immediately deactivated Shadowless. At this moment, all the bug warriors focused their gazes on Mo Xiao. At the same time, the remaining eight bomber bugs instantly rushed towards Mo Xiao. ¡°Closer¡­ closer¡­¡± Just as the sting bugs were about to enter the range of the explosion, Mo Xiao activated Shadowless again and quickly left the spot, instantly pulling away. Looking at the exploding insects that had stopped moving again, Mo Xiao took a deep breath. With the Thousand Mechanism Umbre transforming rapidly into a staff in his hand, he then struck down forcefully. ¡°Thunder Strike!¡± Although it was Mo Xiao¡¯s lowest-level magic with rtively low damage, it was suitable for the current situation. Its range was sufficient, its speed was fast, and it was Mo Xiao¡¯s only skill that was almost instant. As Mo Xiao shouted, the Shadowless state was immediately lifted. Before the sting bugs could react, a blue bolt of thundernded on one of them. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± With eight explosions in quick session, all the bomber bugs were instantly detonated. The bug tribe warriors guarding the insect nest on the ground were also blown away, and the bodies of countless bug warriors flew in the air. ¡°This is a good opportunity!¡± In an instant, the bodies of the warriors in the air, originally suspended, exploded like thunderbolts. In an instant, the bodies of the warriors in the air, originally suspended, exploded like thunderbolts. In order to protect the mother nest, more and more bug warriors rushed up to defend. But the defending bug warriors were also blown to pieces, creating a continuous cycle of explosions. The frenzied explosions continued to reverberate around the mother nest. Outside the Heaven-reaching Tower. ¡°Corpse Explosion¡­ Jin¡¯er, this seems to be your skill, right?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er looked at the situation in front of her with a strange expression. ¡°Ahaha, 1 think so¡­¡± Su Jin¡¯er scratched her head awkwardly. Their strange expressions were not because Mo Xiao had this skill, but because the scene in front of them was very familiar. This was because every time Su Jin¡¯er passed through this level, it was almost always this scene. There would be a series of chain explosions until the Bug Tribe Mother Nest was destroyed. ¡°It¡¯s indeed the same method you¡¯ve been using all along,¡± Yan Zhantianmented somewhat speechlessly.. ¡°But what was that skill he used just now? It seems to havepletely disappeared¡­¡± Chapter 173 - 173: Rewards for the 20th Level Chapter 173: Rewards for the 20th Level Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°What skill was that just now? Why did he suddenly disappear?¡± Yan Zhantian looked at Mo Xiao, who was bombarding the 20th floor, with confusion written all over his face. ¡°I didn¡¯t see it either. It¡¯s like he just vanished,¡± Yao Shier shook her head, clearly unable to discern what skill Mo Xiao had used. As spectators, they weren¡¯t seeing things from Mo Xiao¡¯s perspective but from the viewpoint of onlookers. Consequently, their field of vision was affected by Mo Xiao¡¯s skill, just like the monsters on the 20th floor. However, Yan Zhantian and Yao Shier were both war gods, equipped with skills for detecting stealth. Nevertheless, after Mo Xiao went invisible, their perception skills seemed to fail, and they couldn¡¯t see Mo Xiao¡¯s whereabouts at all. This indicated that Mo Xiao¡¯s stealth skill was even superior in rank to their two war gods¡¯ detection skills. ¡°How did this kid do it? How does he possess so many high-level skills? Aren¡¯t skill books supposed to be rare?¡± Yan Zhantian asked in confusion. ¡°Could it be that this kid can create skill books on his own?¡± Yao Shier gave Yan Zhantian a somewhat speechless look. ¡°Could your guess be any more audacious? Creating skill books? Why not just say he¡¯s the source of all skills in the world?¡± ¡°Ahem¡­ it¡¯s not that exaggerated¡­¡± Yan Zhantian smiled awkwardly and stopped talking nonsense. He continued to watch Mo Xiao¡¯s battle. At this moment, on the 20th floor. The corpses of the bug warriors continued to explode. Every explosion would kill new bug warriors, allowing them to continue exploding. This terrifying roarsted for more than 10 minutes before slowly stopping. [You killed the weakened Bug n Mother Nest, Diamond Boss! Congrattions to Mo Xiao, the challenger, for passing the 20th level!] [Congrattions on passing the 20th level. The reward is next!] ¡°No.¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t even wait for the system prompt to sound. He immediately said, ¡°No.¡± H 11 ? ¡°What? Wait! What is this? Rewards?¡± [Do you wish to forgo the special reward for the 20th level?] ¡°What the f*ck?! Are you crazy?! Did you just give up the reward for the 20th level?!¡± Outside the Heaven-reachingTower, Su Jin¡¯er and the other two widened their eyes in shock when they saw Mo Xiao¡¯s actions. The rewards for the 20th level could be said to be the best rewards in the entire Heaven-reachingTower. Mo Xiao actually wanted to forfeit them?! Was this guy stupid? ¡°F*ck me? Since when is there a reward! 1 want it, I want it! I won¡¯t give up!¡± Mo Xiao finally realized and quickly said. [Reward issued. Please choose an additional reward from 2-5:] O O o o o Looking at the rewards in front of him, Mo Xiao was momentarily taken aback. Although they seemed average, these attributes were quite valuable within the Heaven-reaching Tower. The only less desirable option was the 100-point increase in attack points, which was almost useless for Mo Xiao. While the increase in Health Points was good, he could summon the Skeleton Lord and not worry about his margin of error, so he could skip that too. This left Mo Xiao with a dilemma between the permanent increase in mana points and the one-time use of magic without consuming mana points. In the long run, it should be better to choose to increase his mana points. After all, he would need to use mana points for every level in the future. The higher the mana value, the easier subsequent floors would be. However, the one-time use of magic without mana point consumption was quite tempting, especially considering Mo Xiao¡¯s overpowered skill, Dragon God¡¯s Descent. If he encountered an insurmountable situation, using this magic could potentially help him break through levels he couldn¡¯t handle. ¡°Well, this guy sure had us worried for a moment there. I thought he was actually going to give up such great rewards,¡± Yan Zhantian said as he watched Mo Xiao carefully choose his reward, relieved that he didn¡¯t forfeit it. ¡°Junior Brother isn¡¯t foolish. How could he possibly give up such rewards?¡± Su Jiner gave Yan Zhantian a disapproving look. ¡°I just wonder which reward he¡¯ll choose.¡± Yan Zhantian nced at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°Mo Xiao, this kid, has a lot of skills. If I were him, I would definitely choose mana points. Only with enough mana points can he unleash his strength.¡± ¡°No matter how many mana points you have, it¡¯s useless if your attributes aren¡¯t strong enough,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said calmly. ¡°If Mo Xiao has some extremely powerful skills, choosing the one-time use of magic without consumption might be better. He might even break through several floors in one go.¡± ¡°Extremely powerful skills¡­¡± Yan Zhantian pondered for a moment and then wore a somewhat strange expression. ¡°Speaking of extremely powerful skills, this kid seems to have one.¡± Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er was stunned for a moment before she reacted, ¡°Yes! What¡¯s more, it¡¯s a top-notch fire-type summoning-type skill!¡± ¡°Fire-type Summoning?¡± Yao Shier contemted for a moment. ¡°Dragon God¡¯s Descent? He can use that skill?¡± Her eyes were filled with astonishment. ¡°It¡¯s a pity this kid doesn¡¯t know the special nature of Summoning skills. If he did, he might really be able to climb several levels in one go,¡± Yan Zhantian said. At this moment, in the Heaven-reaching Tower. Mo Xiao pondered for a long time and finally confirmed the reward he wanted to choose. ¡°I choose the fifth.¡± [Ding, the reward has been issued. You can activate it when you need it.] As the system prompt sounded, a ray of light slowly fused into Mo Xiao¡¯s body. Soon, Mo Xiao saw a special skill on his skill panel. [Reward of the Heaven-Reaching Tower: After using it, you can use the skill unlimitedly once. Ignore level requirements, ignore mana requirements, and directly trigger it.] Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully at the description. Then he closed his eyes, taking another rest. After 20 minutes of recovery, Mo Xiao opened his eyes again, but this time, he didn¡¯t immediately proceed. Looking at the stairs leading to the next floor, Mo Xiao thought for a moment. Then, much to the surprise of Yan Zhantian and the others, he summoned a massive Skeleton Lord. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Skeleton Lord. We¡¯re heading to the next floor together,¡± Mo Xiao said, leading the Skeleton Lord toward the staircase. Soon, Mo Xiao and the Skeleton Lord arrived on the 21st floor. Mo Xiao looked at the Skeleton Lord standing beside him and smiled in satisfaction. ¡°As expected, summoned creatures aren¡¯t reset¡­ It seems like 1 made the right choice with my reward.¡± Chapter 174 - 174: Dragon Language! Breaking Through Three Layers in a Row! Chapter 174: Dragon Language! Breaking Through Three Layers in a Row! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Three hourster. Outside the Heaven-reaching Tower, Yao Shier and the others watched Mo Xiao on the screen with some regret. Yao Shier said, ¡°It seems Mo Xiao might have to stop here.¡± ¡°Yeah, this level with the Splitter Bugs is quite tricky. Even if we can handle it, it won¡¯t be easy,¡± Yan Zhantian nodded. ¡°We can only find their weaknesses and take them down quickly, or they¡¯ll keep multiplying.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s quite impressive that he made it this far on his first attempt,¡± Yao Shier said calmly. Yan Zhantian sighed with some regret. ¡°All, just three more levels, what a pity¡­¡± When Su Jin¡¯er heard their conversation, she said directly, ¡°He still has a non-expendable skill that he hasn¡¯t used yet. What if he manages to break through using that?¡± ¡°Even if he breaks through this level, what then? He¡¯s still three levels away from the 30th floor, and without the support of the Fire God¡¯s power, Dragon God¡¯s Descent can onlyst for 10 seconds at most,¡± Yan Zhantian said softly. ¡°Or do you think he can rush through three levels within 10 seconds? ¡°You¡¯ve also climbed the Heaven-reaching Tower. Not to mention the 30th floor, just the 28th floor alone isn¡¯t something Mo Xiao can break through in 10 seconds with Dragon God¡¯s Descent.¡± Meanwhile, On the 27 th floor of the Heaven-reaching Tower. Mo Xiao was panting heavily as he sat on a small hill. His health was now down to 10%, and his mana had long been depleted. If it weren¡¯t for his formidablebat abilities, he might have already ended his challenge. With an intense expression, Mo Xiao looked at the endless horde of bugs in front of him. Since reaching the 25th floor, the monsters he faced were all at level 40 or higher. Not only did their health almost double, but their defense and attack also increased significantly. Even with Mo Xiao¡¯s current level and attributes, He could not directly insta-kill the Splitting Bugs¡¯ main body unless he used a huge killing move like the Soul Extinguishing ck me. However, with his current mana, he could not use this skill more than a few times. Even if he killed a few, it would only be a drop in the bucket. Taking a deep breath as he gazed at the seemingly endless horde of bizarre bugs, pped the ground with both hands. In an instant, the ground beneath him trembled, and a stone pir shot up, carrying him into the sky. The bugs nearby saw this and were about to rush up, but they found that the grass beneath their feet seemed toe to life, entangling them, rendering them unable to move. Due to theirrge numbers, all the bugs were trapped in ce, unable to move. Up in the air, Mo Xiao was panting heavily, utterly exhausted. The Earth Maniption and Wood Maniption abilities were peculiar in that they didn¡¯t seem to consume mana, but every time he used them extensively, he felt extremely fatigued. Despite his fatigue, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t have time to waste. He sat down directly on the top of the stone pir, trying to recover his state. He didn¡¯t know how long he could recover on it, but for him at this moment, every extra second mattered. After about a minute and a half, the buzzing of the bugs sounded again, and Mo Xiao quickly opened his eyes. Thanks to his strong recovery skill, even though he only had a minute and a half, he had regained a considerable amount of mana. Looking at the bugs that appeared again, Mo Xiao clenched his teeth. The stone b beneath his feet soared into the air, heading straight for the center of this level. Under his full force, in just a few seconds, he reached the exact center of the 27th floor. ¡°Dragon Language, Dragon Wings!¡± ¡°Heaven-reaching Tower! Use reward!¡± [Ding, the reward has been activated. Tower challenger, please use your skill.] ¡°Dragon Language ? Dragon God¡¯s Descent!¡± With a low shout from Mo Xiao, a terrifying ze descended from the sky. The Fire Dragon hadn¡¯t even appeared yet, but all the Splitter Bugs were instantly reduced to nothingness under the scorching mes. [Congrattions on killing¡­] ¡°Heaven-reaching Tower! Head to the next level! Cancel all system notifications for me! Start the challenge directly!¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t give the Heaven-reaching Tower a chance to issue prompts and shouted anxiously. The Heaven-reaching Tower fell silent for a moment, and in the next moment, a crack instantly appeared on Mo Xiao¡¯s head. Without waiting for the stairs to descend, Mo Xiao rushed straight to the next floor. The Heaven-reaching Tower was also very obedient, not giving Mo Xiao any system notifications. The monster instantly appeared on the 28th floor. At this moment, a huge dragon covered in ck mes appeared out of thin air beside Mo Xiao. ¡°Dragon God! Attack with all your might! Insta-kill them as quickly as possible!¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste his breath and directly issued an order. Then, he spread the dragon wings on his back and soared into the sky again. The Fire Dragon God pped its wings and endless mes instantly drowned the entire 28th floor. In just three seconds, the passageway to the 29th floor appeared again. Mo Xiao did not dare to dy and rushed forward again. And on the 29th floor, waiting for Mo Xiao, was a huge boss. Because of Mo Xiao¡¯s request, the Heaven-reaching Tower system no longer gave Mo Xiao any notifications. As soon as Mo Xiao rushed up, the huge boss opened its eyes. Mo Xiao didn¡¯t even have time to see what kind of boss it was before the Fire Dragon God went up to it. Its huge body carried violent mes as it instantly rushed towards the seemingly terrifying monster. Another five seconds passed. The boss guarding the 29th floor onlysted for five seconds before it was burned to ashes by the Fire Dragon God. Mo Xiao had no time to rest and rushed to the passage again, instantly arriving on the 30th floor. Outside the Heaven-reaching Tower, Yan Zhantian watched all of this in disbelief. ¡°How is this possible? How did he do it? How can he, at level 20, kill the boss on the 29th floor?¡± Su Jiner, seeing this, was also excited. ¡°I told you Mo Xiao could do it! He¡¯s already reached the 30th floor!¡± ¡°This is unbelievable!¡± Yan Zhantian, as the Fire God, had a good understanding of fire-based skills, but he never expected Mo Xiao to be able to kill his way to the 30th floor with this skill. ¡°Dragon Language Magic¡­¡± Yao Shier, who had always been calm, had a rare hint of excitement in her eyes. Hearing those four words, Yan Zhantian finally realized, ¡°How could 1 forget about this? The power of Dragon Language Magic is much stronger than ordinary skills¡­¡± ¡°Too bad the boss on the 30th floor won¡¯t be so easy to deal with.¡± When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she looked at the screen worriedly and said, ¡°1 hope Mo Xiao can seed¡­¡± ¡°I hope so..¡± Chapter 175 - 175: The Mighty Guardian of the 30th Level, Huh? Sword Emperor’s Remnant Soul?? Chapter 175: The Mighty Guardian of the 30th Level, Huh? Sword Emperor¡¯s Remnant Soul?? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Mo Xiao had just rushed to the 30th level, and the Fire Dragon God immediately rushed out. He charged towards a figure not far away. ¡°ng!¡± At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Mo Xiao¡¯s ears. It was the exclusive sound effect of Shield Reflection. Hearing this voice, Mo Xiao was instantly stunned. ¡°Shield reflection? Can monsters have shield reflection?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was puzzled, a sword light suddenly shot up into the sky and instantly struck the phantom of the Fire Dragon God It sent the Fire Dragon God flying. The Fire Dragon God roared angrily and charged again. But no matter how it attacked, it couldn¡¯t harm this figure in the slightest. Although the Fire Dragon God¡¯s duration was extended to 20 seconds thanks to Dragon Language Magic, it still attacked for 12 seconds before disappearing, unable to inflict any damage on this guardian of the 30th level. Just as Mo Xiao was in shock, he suddenly felt weak. The massive Fire Dragon God in front of him turned into sparks and disappeared. Watching the Fire Dragon God disappear without a trace, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils shrank. He thought that he would definitely be able to pass this level in 10 seconds, but it turned out that the powerful Fire Dragon God couldn¡¯t even damage the boss¡¯s health. ¡°What kind of boss is this¡­¡± Looking at the ck shadow in front of him, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but gulp. ¡°Illusion Breaking Technique!¡± [Sword Emperor¡¯s Remnant Soul ?

Because the panel in front of him was too familiar. Seeing this, Mo Xiao subconsciously opened his panel and looked at the panel in front of him. ¡°This¡­ this is exactly the same as my interface?¡± Mo Xiao was also extremely surprised. This fellow was an existence that could render the Fire Dragon God helpless. Its attributes were actually identical to his? ¡°This doesn¡¯t make sense!¡± Just as Mo Xiao was scratching his head, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul suddenly put away the weapon in his hand and slowly walked not far from Mo Xiao. Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao was also shocked and hurriedly took out his Thousand Mechanism Umbre. At this moment, Mo Xiao¡¯s HP and Mana were both depleted. It would be a lie to say that he wasn¡¯t afraid. Just as Mo Xiao was rapidly thinking about how to escape and resist, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul suddenly tilted its head and said, ¡°Challenger, 1 can sense a very familiar aura from you.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing this voice, Mo Xiao was first stunned, then looked at the figure in confusion. This was because Mo Xiao felt that this voice seemed very familiar. Only then did Mo Xiao curiously size up the figure in front of him. Although the figure¡¯s facial features could not be seen, his size and clothes could be seen clearly. This outfit was very familiar to Mo Xiao. Looking at the figure in front of him and then at the name on his interface, Mo Xiao said with a strange expression, ¡°You are¡­ the Sword Emperor?¡± ¡°You seem to have heard of me,¡± the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul said calmly. ¡°Sword Emperor, Sword Emperor! Come out quickly! 1 encountered your remnant soul!¡± Mo Xiao hurriedly called out when he saw this. However, the Sword Emperor did not react at all. ¡°Um¡­ I¡¯m sorry, but the Heaven-reaching Tower seems to block such soul skills. He might not be able toe out,¡± Mo Xiao said truthfully. When the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul heard this, it was unknown what he was thinking. In the next moment, he waved his hand, and a strange light instantly shot out from his hand and directly entered Mo Xiao¡¯s body. When Mo Xiao saw this light, he was first shocked. However, he subconsciously did not dodge and allowed the light to enter his body. As this light surged in, everyone watching Mo Xiao¡¯s battle from the outside world¡¯s screens all turned ck, unable to see what happened next. At the same time, a gentle light lit up in Mo Xiao¡¯s body. The next moment, a familiar figure appeared beside Mo Xiao. ¡°All, I cane out again? Kid, have you finished creating the Heaven-reaching Tower?¡± This figure was the Sword Emperor. The Sword Emperor stretched gently. As soon as he opened his eyes, a familiar figure appeared in front of him. ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°It¡¯s indeed me,¡± the Sword Emperor¡¯s Remnant Soul smiled slightly upon seeing the Sword Emperor and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to encounter myself again in this way.¡± ¡°Is this¡­ the Heaven-reaching Tower?¡± Seeing this scene, the Sword Emperor seemed to be dumbfounded. This situation was clearly beyond his expectations. ¡°Yes.¡± The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul nodded slightly. ¡°Even in the Heaven-reaching Tower, there shouldn¡¯t be my soul, right?¡± The Sword Emperor looked at the Sword Emperor¡¯s Remnant Soul with apletely puzzled expression, clearly not understanding what had happened. The Sword Emperor¡¯s Remnant Soul exined, ¡°As the only human who reached the highest level of the Tower, 1 was naturally chosen by the World¡¯s Source. After my death, a part of my soul was captured by the source of time and brought to this ce, bing a guardian of certain critical levels, such as the 30th and 60th levels.¡± ¡°What the f*ck? This Heaven-reaching Tower can actually manipte people like this? But does it still allow these little guys to pass through if we guard these ces?¡± The Sword Emperor was somewhat puzzled; although he didn¡¯t know about the others, he was very clear about his own strength. Even with just one level of attributes, he wasn¡¯t someone ordinary kids could handle. ¡°It¡¯s meant to select powerful human descendants. Facing stronger opponents on certain levels is only natural,¡± the Sword Emperor¡¯s Remnant Soul exined directly. ¡°However, over the years, you seem to have changed quite a bit.¡± ¡°Tsk, haven¡¯t you changed too?¡± The Sword Emperor shrugged and said, ¡°But why did you call me out? Are you going easy on me?¡± The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul chuckled and said, ¡°I also want to go easy, but with the system¡¯s supervision, 1 can¡¯t go easy. It¡¯s fine if 1 don¡¯t fight, but once 1 start fighting, I¡¯ll use my full strength.¡± ¡°Full strength?! Then what¡¯s the point of fighting?! Just surrender!¡± The Sword Emperor¡¯s eyes instantly widened when he heard this and he said directly. ¡°Full strength refers to my full strength on the 30th floor, about 5% of my true strength,¡± the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul said truthfully. ¡°Half? That¡¯s eptable, then.¡± The Sword Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°So, why did you call me out?¡± ¡°Nothing special. 1 just wanted to see if 1 can go with you,¡± the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul said directly. Hearing this, Mo Xiao and the Sword Emperor¡¯s eyes widened at the same time. ¡°Of course, before that, you have to defeat me!¡± Chapter 176 - 176: Mo Xiao Vs Sword Emperor’s Remnant Soul Chapter 176: Mo Xiao Vs Sword Emperor¡¯s Remnant Soul Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°What¡¯s going on?! Are youing with me??¡± As soon as the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul said this, Mo Xiao and the Sword Emperor¡¯s eyes widened at the same time. ¡°Aren¡¯t you in charge of the assessment on the 30th level? Why are you following me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just trying.¡± The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul looked at Mo Xiao in front of him and said lightly, ¡°But before that, you have to defeat me first.¡± Defeat it? Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression immediately turned grim. Although the attributes of the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul were identical to his own, the Fire Dragon God he had summoned with Dragon God¡¯s Descent earlier couldn¡¯t do anything against it. Now he was supposed to defeat it? It felt like an impossible dream. Seeing the unpleasant expression on Mo Xiao¡¯s face, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll give you some time to recover your condition before we start our battle.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not¡­ even if I recover, 1 probably still can¡¯t be your opponent, right? Does the Heaven-reaching Tower really want people to pass this level when they have such a powerful Sword Emperor as the guardian?¡± Mo Xiao asked, clearly puzzled. The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul shook its head and exined, ¡°On the 30th floor, there are a total of 10 guardians, and I¡¯m just one of them. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m the most challenging one, and not many people have the opportunity to encounter me.¡± ¡°Am I just unlucky? Why did I have to encounter you¡­¡± Mo Xiao said with an expression of frustration. ¡°It¡¯s probably not luck. After all, your body carries my aura, which might be the reason why the Heaven-reaching Tower released me. If I hadn¡¯t left with you, you would have encountered me again next time you came,¡± the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul exined. ¡°This is how it works.¡± ¡°Damn¡­¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but swear. ¡°What kind of game is this?¡± Meanwhile, the Sword Emperor said to Mo Xiao, ¡°You should give it a try first. If you can¡¯t win, we¡¯ll figure something out. After all, reaching the thirtieth floor is already quite an achievement.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and nodded slightly. He sat down on the side to recover his condition. Meanwhile, the Sword Emperor floated over to the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul and started talking with him. Meanwhile, outside the Heaven-reaching Tower. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why can¡¯t 1 see the scene inside suddenly?¡± Yan Zhantian looked at the dark screen in front of him in confusion. Such a low-level problem had never happened in the Heaven-reaching Tower. ¡°Logically speaking, the Heaven-reaching Tower shouldn¡¯t have the authority to turn off the spectator system, right?¡± Yan Zhantian muttered as he continuously restarted the spectator system, seemingly very anxious. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. There won¡¯t be such a problem in the Heaven-reaching Tower. Perhaps the monsters inside have released some special skill,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said calmly. ¡°Impossible, that guy definitely doesn¡¯t have such a skill!¡± Yan Zhantian directly denied Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s words without thinking. ¡°That guy?¡± Hearing this, Yao Shi¡¯er looked at Yan Zhantian curiously, ¡°Did you see the guardian Mo Xiao faced this time?¡± War Gods like them were very familiar with the monsters on the first few levels of the Heaven-reaching Tower. Especially the 30th level, which left a deep impression on them. After all,10 different guardians took turns to draw, which gave them a headache. ¡°Yes, I saw it.¡± Yan Zhantian nodded. ¡°Which one is it?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er asked. Yan Zhantian sighed softly and said, ¡°The most difficult guy, the Sword Emperor.¡± ¡°What? This kid encountered the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er was also surprised. ¡°No wonder he could withstand the Fire Dragon God¡¯s continuous attacks for more than 10 seconds.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right¡­ Otherwise, 1 wouldn¡¯t be in such a hurry.¡± Yan Zhantian smiled bitterly. ¡°As thest boss, can our assessment be more lenient?¡± As soon as Yan Zhantian said this, Yao Shi¡¯er raised her eyebrows slightly, ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°After all, Mo Xiao encountered the remnant soul of the Sword Emperor this time. We all know how powerful the remnant soul of the Sword Emperor is.¡± Yan Zhantian rubbed his hands and said, ¡°How about we judge the 30th level based on his performance? As long as his performance is good enough, he will pass! How about that?¡± ¡°I agree!!¡± Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er, who was at the side, was the first to jump up. ¡°1 raise both hands and feet in agreement!¡± When Yao Shi¡¯er heard this, she thought for a moment. ¡°Alright, this Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul is too powerful. After all, this is a level that even the three of us War Gods have suffered.¡± Just as the three of them were talking, the pitch-ck screen in front of them suddenly flickered. In the next moment, the scene on the 30th floor appeared before the three of them again. At this moment, Mo Xiao was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the thirtieth floor with a serious expression. Not far away, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul floated quietly in the distance, motionless, as if it had not been activated. ¡°Eh? What¡¯s going on? Why didn¡¯t this Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul attack Mo Xiao?¡± Yan Zhantian looked at the iparably strange peace and asked in surprise, ¡°Could it be that this kid is stuck with a bug?¡± Before Su Jin¡¯er and the others could answer, Mo Xiao in the center suddenly opened his eyes. As Mo Xiao woke up, the ethereal Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul, with its azure eyes, also opened its eyes instantly. It headed straight for Mo Xiao. ¡°Damn! You, as a big Sword Emperor, are resorting to sneak attacks!¡± Looking at the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul that instantly appeared in front of him, Mo Xiao was clearly shocked. He quickly raised the Thousand Mechanism Umbre in his hand to block the attack. ¡°I said that I would only give you time to recover. The moment youpletely recover, 1 will attack,¡± the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul said and took a step back. Just when Mo Xiao thought he was retreating, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul suddenly stopped its motion, and its sword appeared out of thin air, intercepting Mo Xiao¡¯s punch aimed at its head. However, at this moment, Mo Xiao¡¯s body suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul. At the same time, the Thousand-Machine Umbre in his hand transformed into a boxing glove and swung towards the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡¯s head. ¡°ng!¡± In an instant, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul suddenly turned around. The longsword in his hand seemed to appear out of thin air and instantly blocked Mo Xiao¡¯s fist. It sent Mo Xiao flying. ¡°Blink¡­ With your equipment, you can actually use a mage¡¯s skill?¡± Looking at Mo Xiao who was sent flying, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul was also a little surprised. Mo Xiao quickly stabilized his body, obviously not in the mood to pay attention to this guy. ¡°Of course! This kid has a lot of amazing tricks up his sleeve!¡± At this moment, the Sword Emperor suddenly appeared beside the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul and said smugly. ¡°?¡± Looking at the Sword Emperor who appeared beside the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul, Mo Xiao was puzzled. ¡°Whose side are you on anyway?¡± Chapter 177 - 177: Stopping at the 30th Floor? Chapter 177: Stopping at the 30th Floor? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Whose side are you on!¡± Seeing the Sword Emperor suddenly appear beside the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul, Mo Xiao immediately shouted angrily. ¡°I can¡¯t help him much- Don¡¯t be anxious-¡± The Sword Emperor said slyly. ¡°You f*cking¡­¡± Just as Mo Xiao was about to spit out a few words, a dazzling sword light whistled towards him. Seeing this, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted, and a shield appeared in his hand. ¡°ng!¡± With a crisp sound of the shield, the sword light was instantly bounced back. Along with them were two different-colored sword energies, yellow and blue. Seeing this, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul stabbed the sword in his hand three times. Immediately, the three sword energies disappeared at the same time. ¡°In thousands of years, you¡¯re the second person who dares to be distracted while fighting me,¡± the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul said coldly. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao subconsciously asked, ¡°Then¡­ who¡¯s the first?¡± H 11 ¡°Defeat me and 1¡¯11 tell you!¡± The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡¯s expression turned cold, and he suddenly waved the longsword in his hand at Mo Xiao. ¡°Sword Qi Zongheng!¡± In an instant, countless sword Qi whistled out of the Sword Emperor¡¯s hand and headed straight for Mo Xiao. Seeing this, Mo Xiao switched to the Thousand Mechanism Umbre state again. Two swords appeared in Mo Xiao¡¯s hands at the same time. In the next moment, the two swords in Mo Xiao¡¯s hands quickly stabbed forward, and all the sword Qi immediately dissipated in the air and disappeared. Just like what the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul had done earlier. At this moment, Mo Xiao suddenly took a step forward. The two swords in his hands switched to staffs again, and he suddenly waved them forward. ¡°Explosive Fireball!¡± Immediately, a huge fireball instantly took shape and flew quickly towards the Sword Emperor. Looking at the roaring fireball, the Sword Emperor¡¯s expression did not change. Just as he was about to swing his sword to block, he suddenly felt something beneath his feet and his center of gravity deviated. The longsword that should have directly shattered the fireball was tilted by this stab. However, at this moment, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul suddenly flipped sideways and dodged this explosive fireball to the limit. ¡°F*ck! How did he dodge it?!¡± The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul ignored Mo Xiao. Instead, it looked at the spot under its feet and narrowed its eyes slightly. ¡°A skill to change the terrain¡­¡± ¡°Looks like I have to be more careful.¡± After saying that, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul did not give Mo Xiao any chance to react. It instantly rushed forward, the longsword in its hand mercilessly attacking Mo Xiao from all kinds of tricky angles. Mo Xiao used all his strength to resist the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡¯s attack. During this period, Mo Xiao kept trying to counterattack, mixed with various skills. However, no matter how Mo Xiao attacked, he was easily resolved by the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul, forcing Mo Xiao to forcefully fight his closebat opponents. Ten minutester. The longswords in their hands continued to wave and collide in the air. Although it looked like they had exchanged blows, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Mo Xiao had already been suppressed and beaten by the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul. Even though he was being suppressed, in these ten minutes, Mo Xiao only lost about 100 HP. After all, he had blocked most of the attacks. ¡°Comparing swordsmanship with the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡­ Junior Brother is really bold¡­¡± Su Jin¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao, who was constantly resisting, and said with a strange expression. Yao Shi¡¯er nced at Su Jin¡¯er and exined, ¡°It¡¯s not that he¡¯s bold, but he had no choice. The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul forced him to do this.¡± ¡°With the attack frequency of the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul, Mo Xiao has no way of pulling away and using skills. Even if he barely uses skills, they will be easily broken by the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul, so it¡¯s better to fight him in closebat.¡± Yan Zhantian continued, ¡°However, this kid is really quite powerful. The sword technique of this Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul can be said to be amazing. Back then, when I faced him, I was hacked to death by him. This kid can actually hold on for 10 minutes. It¡¯s really amazing.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been hacked to death before?¡± Hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er and Yao Shi¡¯er turned their heads at the same time and looked at Yan Zhantian curiously. ¡°???¡± Feeling their gazes, Yan Zhantian was also stunned and immediately said unhappily, ¡°Is this the main point?! Shouldn¡¯t the main point be Mo Xiao?!¡± ¡°Then you can tell us after Mo Xiao¡¯s battle ends!¡± Su Jin¡¯er chuckled. Ignoring Yan Zhantian¡¯s reaction, she looked at Mo Xiao¡¯s performance again. Looking at Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s appearance, Yao Shi¡¯er also smiled slightly. Then, she looked at Yan Zhantian and said, ¡°Do you think Mo Xiao can pass this stage?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± Yan Zhantian shook his head and said, ¡°Although he can hold on, it¡¯s only a matter of time before he fails¡­¡± ¡°Indeed.¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nodded. ¡°However, I feel that his performance has already exceeded my expectations.¡± ¡°If I can pass this level, it can only be said to be a pleasant surprise.¡± Hearing this, Yan Zhantian also grinned. ¡°That¡¯s right¡­ If it were anyone else, they would have died on the first try.¡± At this moment, in the Heaven-reaching Tower. More and more sweat appeared on Mo Xiao¡¯s forehead. Every strike from the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul was extremely difficult for him to withstand. As time passed, the wounds on his body continued to increase. Just as the two War Gods had said, Mo Xiao could no longer hold on. The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡¯s rapid attacks and tricky angles. Every time he blocked, Mo Xiao had to spend a huge amount of energy. He even had to use the Wood Maniption Technique and the Earth Maniption Technique to adjust his position or the position of the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul. Not to mention anything else, just the consumption of his mental strength alone was already too much for Mo Xiao to bear. ¡°You¡¯re very outstanding, but you seem to be a littlecking if you want to defeat me.¡± As the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul spoke, the longsword in his hand seemed to transform into a phantom that charged straight at Mo Xiao. Just as Mo Xiao was about to block, the sword in front of him disappeared, and at the same time, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul appeared behind Mo Xiao. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, die!¡± ¡°Ding!¡± At this moment, Mo Xiao¡¯s hand seemed to be out of control, and he instantly held the sword behind his back. He urately blocked this attack. ¡°All! Want him to die? That¡¯s impossible!¡± At this moment, the voice of the Sword Emperor suddenly came out of Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth. ¡°He¡¯s tired, and it¡¯s my turn now.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing this voice, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul was clearly stunned for a moment. ¡°Is this considered cheating?¡± ¡°How can you call it cheating?¡± the Sword Emperor grinned. ¡°1 am one of Mo Xiao¡¯s abilities, he just hadn¡¯t used me until now.¡± ¡°Is that so¡­¡± The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul seemed somewhat displeased. ¡°Of course, and don¡¯t you think it¡¯s fun to fight against yourself?¡± Chapter 178 - 178: There Are Many Souls of Experts in the Heavenly-Reaching Tower? Chapter 178: There Are Many Souls of Experts in the Heavenly-Reaching Tower? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Don¡¯t you find it especially interesting to fight against yourself?¡± The Sword Emperor controlled Mo Xiao¡¯s body and casually waved the long sword in his hand, grinning. ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s a rare opportunity to defeat yourself. Why do you seem reluctant?¡± Listening to the Sword Emperor¡¯s words, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul seemed to be somewhat displeased. However, as a remnant soul, it was a mere shadow, making it impossible to discern its expression. Looking at the motionless remnant soul, the Sword Emperor chuckled. Without saying anything, he raised his sword and attacked it. Seeing this, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡¯s expression stiffened, and it quickly followed suit, raising its long sword andunching an attack on Mo Xiao in the same manner. ¡°Ding!¡± Apanied by a crisp sound of metal colliding, their longswords collided. The moment the two swords collided, the longswords in Mo Xiao and the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul turned into afterimages at the same time, madly colliding in mid-air. Their speed was so fast that not even Mo Xiao¡¯s War God senses could fully grasp it. If not for the Sword Emperor controlling his body, Mo Xiao would have likely been defeated long ago. Thirty minutester. The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡¯s health was already at the bottom, but Mo Xiao still had 50% of his health remaining. As Mo Xiao¡¯s final sword pierced the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul, thest bit of its HP was taken away. ¡°The physical data in the Heaven-reaching Tower is stillcking in meaning. This sword doesn¡¯t feel quite right either. Otherwise, 1 wouldn¡¯t have wasted 30 minutes dealing with you,¡± Mo Xiao said as he looked at the Sword Emperor in front of him, calmly sheathing his sword. With that, the Sword Emperor¡¯s illusory form flew out of Mo Xiao¡¯s body and silently watched the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul whose HP had reached zero not far away. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted toe with me? You¡¯ve already been defeated by me. How are you going toe with me?¡± the Sword Emperor asked. The Sword Emperor¡¯s residual soul shook its head gently. ¡°Going with you was my idea, but right now, I¡¯m just data, a replication of the power within the remnant soul.¡± ¡°Replicating the power of the residual soul?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was slightly stunned. Clearly, he was a little puzzled by the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡¯s words. The Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul nced at Mo Xiao and said indifferently, ¡°I can¡¯t say the details. I¡¯ve only stayed in this Heavenly-reaching Tower for a period of time. I only know that there are many souls of experts in this Heavenly-reaching Tower. Be careful¡­¡± With that, the Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul directly turned into specks of starlight and disappeared. [You killed the guardian boss of the 30th level! The remnant soul of the Sword Emperor! Congrattions to Mo Xiao, the challenger! You have passed the 30th level!] [Do you want to go to the next level?] ¡°This level is so difficult, but there are no rewards?¡± Looking at the system notification in front of him, Mo Xiao asked in confusion. The Sword Emperor looked at Mo Xiao and replied, ¡°The guardians of this floor are always random, and while they are all formidable, not all of them are as powerful as me. So, there might not be rewards.¡± Hearing the Sword Emperor¡¯s words, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not just praising yourself?¡± ¡°Oh? Really? I¡¯m just stating a fact. Am 1 not awesome?¡± The Sword Emperor said smugly. Mo Xiao looked at the Sword Emperor with a speechless expression. ¡°Forget it, 1 don¡¯t want to argue with you. Let¡¯s rest for a while and continue to the next floorter. System, 1¡¯11 take a break for now and continueter.¡± With that, Mo Xiao sat down cross-legged again and rested quietly. Outside the Heaven-reaching Tower, Yan Zhantian and the others were looking at Mo Xiao on the screen with serious expressions. ¡°Old Yao, did you see that?¡± Yan Zhantian asked seriously. ¡°Mm¡­¡± Yao Shi¡¯er also nodded slightly. ¡°Mo Xiao¡¯sbat method is almost identical to this Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡­ It can even be said that it¡¯s even more brilliant than this Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul¡­¡± ¡°This is definitely not a technique that a kid who has just transitioned can have¡­¡± Yan Zhantian¡¯s expression was somewhat grim. ¡°Are you saying¡­ Mo Xiao might not be human?¡± Yao Shier looked at Yan Zhantian with surprise. ¡°It¡¯s a possibility. After all, as you mentioned before¡­¡± Yan Zhantian¡¯s expression becameplicated. H 11 While the two were pondering what was going on with Mo Xiao, Su Jin¡¯er suddenly spoke up, ¡°I just realized, are you two suspecting that Mo Xiao isn¡¯t human?¡± ¡°Sort of.¡± Yan Zhantian nodded, ¡°After all, Mo Xiao¡¯s performance just now was too powerful. This is not something a teenage brat can do.¡± When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she looked at the two of them with a strange expression and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you two know that¡­ there¡¯s a very powerful soul in Mo Xiao¡¯s body?¡± ¡°What?¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, Yan Zhantian and Yao Shi¡¯er looked at Su Jin¡¯er at the same time. Clearly, they werepletely unaware of this matter. Looking at their expressions, Su Jin¡¯er continued, ¡°Looks like you really don¡¯t know¡­¡± ¡°Mo Xiao has a skill called ¡®Sword Emperor¡¯s Residual Soul,¡¯ which allows him to summon a soul. This soul seems to be an ancient Sword Emperor who can not only guide Mo Xiao but also possess his body and fight in his ce in critical situations.¡± Su Jin¡¯er continued, ¡°The situation just now should be that ancient Sword Emperor possessing Mo Xiao¡¯s body and fighting for him.¡± ¡°And there¡¯s a possibility that this 3oth-floor Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul is actually a part of the Sword Emperor inside Mo Xiao, but for some reason, it¡¯s left in the Heaven-reaching Tower.¡± Listening to Su Jiner¡¯s exnation, Yan Zhantian, who had been worried about how to deal with the situation, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°Phew¡­ I was really scared there. Thank goodness you exined it, or I might have thought Mo Xiao had turned into some kind of monster. After all, hisbat abilities are incredibly strong,¡± Yan Zhantian sighed in relief, and the seriousness on his face disappeared. ¡°But how do you know about this skill? Did Mo Xiao tell you?¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Su Jiner nodded. ¡°Mo Xiao did tell me about it. Most importantly, my ability allows me to see these souls, so this Sword Emperor¡¯s remnant soul is particrly wary of me.¡± Hearing this, Yao Shi¡¯er nodded thoughtfully, ¡°I see. So, you mean that the Sword Emperor¡¯s residual soul fought on Mo Xiao¡¯s behalf on this 30th floor?¡± ¡°Not entirely,¡± Su Jiner shook her head. ¡°When you praised Mo Xiao the first time, he fought on his own. It was onlyter when he couldn¡¯t hold on any longer that the Sword Emperor possessed him and fought for him.¡± ¡°Besides, the abilities he can control are, in a way, his own abilities, right? Master, you shouldn¡¯t refuse to let your disciple pass just because of this, right?¡± Chapter 179 - 179: Profession Change Certificate, Heavenly- Reaching Tower Ring! Chapter 179: Profession Change Certificate, Heavenly- Reaching Tower Ring! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Besides, as long as it¡¯s a power he can control, isn¡¯t it still his power? Master, you can¡¯t deny Junior Brother just because of this, can you?¡± Su Jin¡¯er worried that Yao Shi¡¯er and Yan Zhantian wouldn¡¯t let Mo Xiao pass, so she quickly said. Yao Shi¡¯er looked at the anxious Su Jin¡¯er and smiled slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there¡¯s no need to be concerned. Since he has already passed the 30th level, we will naturally fulfill the promise we made earlier. You can rest assured.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, all we have to do now is wait for this little guy toe out,¡± Yan Zhantian nodded earnestly. ¡°After all, from the 31st level onwards, it undergoes a qualitative change, and 1 don¡¯t think this little guy can make it through.¡± As Yan Zhantian spoke, he looked at the screen again. As expected, Mo Xiao, who had just reached the 31st floor, was sted out in less than five minutes. [You were killed by Shadow Soldiers! Tower run ended¡­] [Congrattions to the tower challenger, Mo Xiao, for reaching the 30th floor on your first attempt!!] [Rewards issued!] [Congrattions on obtaining a silver treasure chest!] [Congrattions on obtaining two chances to challenge the Heaven-reaching Tower!] [Congrattions on obtaining the Heavenly-reaching Tower ring!] [Heaven-Reaching Tower Ring (Blue): A ring exclusive to the entire tower. It can send you to the door of the Heaven-Reaching Tower without any consumption!] ¡°What a good-for-nothing ring. Can this even be considered a blue equipment¡­¡± Looking at the rewards given, Mo Xiao was speechless. He had thought that passing the 30th level would yield something good, but it turned out to be these meager rewards. He could get a Silver Treasure Chest by killing any Silver-level Boss. The ring of the Heavenly-reaching Tower was even more useless. Wouldn¡¯t he be able toe to the Heavenly-reaching Tower whenever he wanted? Why would he need to specially teleport¡­ Only the opportunity to challenge the Heaven-reaching Tower was rtively rare. However, there were no rewards for challenging the tower. He didn¡¯t know that these wargods would be passionate about challenging the tower. Just as Mo Xiao was at a loss for words, a message suddenly popped up. Su Jin¡¯er: Junior Brother,e quickly! Master and Yan Zhantian want to see you. They want to take you in as their disciple! ¡°I just finished my assessment, and they want me to go to them myself¡­¡± Mo Xiao muttered unhappily. Then, as if he had realized something, he raised an eyebrow and asked, ¡°They? What does that mean? Could it be that they both want to take me as their disciple without fighting each other?¡± After some contemtion, Mo Xiao realized that it was indeed possible. ¡°Anyway, let¡¯s deal with these things first,¡± Mo Xiao said and took out the awarded ring. [You rubbed the Heaven-reaching Tower ring! The Heaven-reaching Tower ring has been upgraded to the Heaven-reaching Tower ring!] ¡°?¡± Mo Xiao was surprised when he saw that the name and quality of the ring remained the same. He quickly checked the properties of his Heaven-reaching Tower ring. [Heaven-Reaching Tower Ring (Blue): Awarded after perfectly clearing the fortieth level, it allows you to teleport to any location within the Heaven-Reaching Tower and consume one tower run opportunity to enter any floor within the first 40 levels.] ¡°What? Any floor?¡± Mo Xiao was amazed by this description. ¡°Can it really do that? Isn¡¯t this too overpowered? 1 wonder if the War Gods have¡­ ¡°But why is this ring still blue?¡± Mo Xiao muttered and rubbed the ring again. [You rubbed the Heaven-reaching Tower ring! The Heaven-reaching Tower ring has been upgraded to the Heaven-reaching Tower ring!] When he rubbed it again, the name and quality of the ring still did not change. [Heaven-Reaching Tower Ring (Blue): A reward given after perfectly passing the 50th floor. It can be teleported to the Heaven-Reaching Tower from any ce. It can also consume one chance to challenge the tower and enter any of the 50th floor. Moreover, it can be used in the Heaven-Reaching Tower. It can be used once every 10 floors. It can only be calcted after teleportation.] ¡°It can pause too?!¡± Looking at this attribute, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes widened. If this skill could be used in the Heaven-reaching Tower, it was equivalent to having an extra life! Although Mo Xiao didn¡¯t know what the purpose of breaking into the Heaven-reaching Tower was, this ring indeed made him a little excited. After putting away the ring, Mo Xiao also took out the silver treasure chest. Although it was not from the Heaven-reaching Tower series, it should still be useful after sublimation. [You rubbed the Silver Treasure Chest, and it sublimated into the Golden Treasure Chest!] [You opened the Golden Treasure Chest. Congrattions on obtaining the Profession Change Certificate!] ¡°Oh? Profession Change Certificate?¡± Seeing this name, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. He was already level 30. After the college entrance examination, the first thing he would do would definitely be to change his profession. Although he had yet to understand what he had to do to change his profession, this thing was obviously useful. [Profession Change Certificate: It can be used to rece the mission items needed for the ss advancement.] ¡°All¡­ to rece the mission item. That¡¯s indeed convenient.¡± Mo Xiao thought for a while and remembered that when Su Jin¡¯er changed her profession previously, It seemed that he had been troubled for a long time for a special object. It was also because of this that the two of them met. ¡°I wonder what this Profession Change Certificate will turn into¡­¡± As Mo Xiao spoke, he rubbed against it excitedly. [You rubbed the Profession Change Certificate, and the Profession Change Certificate sublimated into a Profession Change Emblem!] [ss Advancement Emblem: When used, it can directlyplete a profession change task or increase the profession change difficulty while enhancing post-profession change attribute bonuses!¡± ¡°!!!¡± ¡°Enhance post-profession change attribute bonuses?!¡± What an incredible function! After a profession change, there would always be additional attribute bonuses, increasing attack, defense, and HP corresponding to each attribute point. Each profession had fixed post-profession change bonuses, but with this item, could the bonuses be enhanced?! Wasn¡¯t this a divine-level tool for professional advancement?! Mo Xiao looked at the tool in his hand and couldn¡¯t help but gulp. He quickly stored it in his backpack. After a brief moment of contemtion, he forcibly suppressed his excitement and walked confidently towards where the two War Gods were located. Soon, Mo Xiao arrived at the spectator stands. At this moment, Yan Zhantian, Yao Shi¡¯er, and Su Jin¡¯er were sitting in the spectator stands, waiting for Mo Xiao. Upon seeing Mo Xiao, Su Jin¡¯er quickly waved to him, gesturing for him toe over. Seeing this, Mo Xiao also strode over. ¡°Greetings, Senior Yao, Senior Yan Zhantian,¡± Mo Xiao said respectfully to the two of them. Soon, Mo Xiao arrived at the spectator stands. At this moment, Yan Zhantian, Yao Shi¡¯er, and Su Jin¡¯er were sitting in the spectator stands, waiting for Mo Xiao. Upon seeing Mo Xiao, Su Jin¡¯er quickly waved to him, gesturing for him toe over. Seeing this, Mo Xiao also strode over. ¡°Greetings, Senior Yao, Senior Yan Zhantian,¡± Mo Xiao said respectfully to the two of them.. Chapter 180 - 180: Why Should I Accept You as My Master? Chapter 180: Why Should I ept You as My Master? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Mo Xiao! Are you willing to be our disciple?¡± Yan Zhantian looked at Mo Xiao with a solemn expression, and his tone became serious. Hearing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yan Zhantian, then at Yao Shi¡¯er, who was smiling at him. While he was wondering what Yan Zhantian was up to, Su Jiner, who was behind him, poked him hard in the back. ¡°You better agree! This is a once-in-a-lif etime opportunity! Most people can only dream of it!¡± Listening to Su Jiner¡¯s urging, Mo Xao¡¯s expression became somewhat strange. ¡°Agree to what?¡± ¡°Of course, she means agreeing to be our disciple!¡± Yan Zhantian exined directly. ¡°You mean both of you? You and Senior Yao?¡± Mo Xiao asked again. Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s puzzled look and his calm demeanor, Yan Zhantian couldn¡¯t help feeling uneasy. He had already prepared himself for Mo Xiao eagerly epting him as his master. But looking at Mo Xiao now, there was no excitement in his attitude, and he seemed somewhat reluctant. ¡°It¡¯s not just me and Yan Zhantian,¡± Yao Shier said with a smile. ¡°Another war god is willing to ept you as a disciple with us.¡± ¡°Another war god?¡± Mo Xiao was momentarily puzzled, then his expression changed slightly. ¡°The Sword God? Isn¡¯t he in another ce? How could he agree to take me as his disciple?¡± Yan Zhantian, on the other hand, was getting irritated. ¡°Hey, hey, hey! 1 offered to take you as my disciple, and you had no reaction at all! But as soon as you hear that the Sword God wants to ept you, you get excited! ¡°You little brat, do you look down on me?¡± Yan Zhantian eximed. Hearing Yan Zhantian¡¯s words, Mo Xiao turned his head slightly to look at him and said, ¡°Among the three War Gods, what¡¯s your ranking in terms of strength?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± ¡°Are you as formidable as the Sword God?¡± ¡°Are you as mysterious as the Sword God?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Yan Zhantian was at a loss for words. Su Jiner burst intoughter upon hearing this. ¡°Alright, stop teasing Yan Zhantian,¡± Yao Shier said, trying to contain herughter. ¡°Although Yan Zhantian¡¯s strength is not on par with the Sword God, he is the second strongest in the Dragon Country, right below me.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Yao Shier in surprise. ¡°My senior told me that your strength surpasses even the Fire God¡¯s.¡± ¡°That¡¯s just a public statement,¡± Yao Shier replied with a faint smile. ¡°If Old Yan were to go all out, 1 would definitely not be his match. In fact, in the entire world, only our Boss, the Sword God, could defeat him.¡± ¡°Boss?¡± ¡°Oh, Boss is also the Sword God that I mentioned earlier,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er exined again. ¡°Although he¡¯s not here right now, we have a special way to contact him, so you can rest assured that the Sword God can definitely guide you.¡± Listening to Yao Shier¡¯s exnation, Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully. ¡°Alright, but I¡¯d like to wait until after the college entrance exam before formally epting you as my masters.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Yan Zhantian, who had expected Mo Xiao to agree, widened his eyes again. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s embarrassing to be a disciple of the three War Gods?¡± Mo xiao shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s not embarrassing, but I need to know what you can teach me and why I should ept you as my masters.¡± Su Jin¡¯er:¡±!!!¡± Yan Zhantian:¡±???¡± Yao Shi¡¯er:¡±¡­¡± As soon as Mo Xiao said this, the expressions of the three of them instantly became interesting. The Dragon Country had held the college entrance exam countless times, and the three War Gods had observed it many times. But every time they chose disciples, all the candidates were extremely excited. Mo Xiao was the first one to ask why he should ept them as his masters. Before Mo Xiao could continue speaking, Su Jin¡¯er immediately rushed over and covered his mouth. ¡°Do you know what you¡¯re saying? Have you been drinking fake wine? How can you say such things! These are the War Gods! My master is here!¡± ¡°Jin¡¯er, don¡¯t be agitated. Let him speak.¡± Yao Shi¡¯er listened to Mo Xiao¡¯s words, and a faint smile appeared on her face. Mo Xiao looked at Yao Shi¡¯er and nodded, ¡°Although you¡¯re a War God, I¡¯ve never seen you in action. ¡°You may indeed have strong power, but is it possible that it¡¯s just based on your attributes? Maybe, given enough time, 1 could surpass you,¡± Mo Xiao said casually. ¡°If you want me to ept you as my masters, it¡¯s best to show me some proof of what you can teach me. ¡°Otherwise, 1 think I¡¯d be better off on my own.¡± ¡°Heh heh, well said,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said, satisfied with Mo Xiao¡¯s words. ¡°Old Yan, it seems we need to show this young man a bit of our strength. Otherwise, it might not be easy to have him as a disciple.¡± Yan Zhantian looked at Mo Xiao and nodded, ¡°It looks like that¡¯s the case. So, let¡¯s wait until after the college entrance exam. By then, we¡¯ll naturally show you what you want to see.¡± ¡°Okay, then we¡¯ll wait for that time.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and didn¡¯t say much more. ¡°Can 1 go now?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no hurry.¡± Seeing that Mo Xiao was about to leave, Yan Zhantian interrupted him. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°?¡± Mo Xiao looked at Yan Zhantian in confusion. ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¡°Have you forgotten? That Chu Feng still owes you something.¡± Yan Zhantian grinned and said, ¡°1¡¯11 help you get it and teach you how to use it.¡± Chu Feng owes something? Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao was puzzled for a moment. However, he quickly realized. The Tears of Time. It was the item that Chu Feng had lost to him when they made their bet. Although Mo Xiao didn¡¯t know what this Tears of Time was, from Yan Zhantian¡¯s expression, this seemed to be a very impressive thing. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be in such a hurry to get him to get it. ¡°Fine.¡± ¡°Fine,¡± Mo Xiao replied after a brief recollection. He nodded and followed Yan Zhantian as they left the spectator seats and headed towards Chu Feng¡¯s location. At this moment, outside the Heavenly-reaching Tower, Chu Feng was gritting his teeth. 30 floors! Is this guy cheating?! How can he reach so high on his first attempt? Was there something wrong with the Heaven-reaching Tower, or was he hallucinating?! This is too unbelievable! ¡°What should 1 do, City Lord? Mo Xiao¡¯s performance is so outstanding¡­ It¡¯s probably impossible for Young Master topete with him¡­¡± His assistant cautiously asked. ¡°Shut up! Can¡¯t I see it for myself?¡± Chu Feng red at his assistant angrily. Just as he was about to continue venting his frustration, Yan Zhantian¡¯s voice rang out at just the right moment.. Chapter 181 - 181: Tears of Time, Tears of Fire Chapter 181: Tears of Time, Tears of Fire Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Ah, City Lord Chu Feng, the college entrance examination hasn¡¯t ended yet. Why are you so angry? Did your child not do well in the exam?¡± Yan Zhantian strode into Chu Feng¡¯s room and asked with a smile. When Chu Feng heard this, he took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. He squeezed out a smile that looked worse than crying. ¡°Lord Fire God, why have youe? Aren¡¯t you supposed to continue watching from the spectator stands?¡± Chu Feng asked respectfully. Yan Zhantian looked at Chu Feng¡¯s expression and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve already seen the interesting parts. There doesn¡¯t seem to be much worth watching at the moment.¡± Hearing this, the corners of Chu Feng¡¯s eyes twitched. After all, his son was in the middle of the assessment right now, and Yan Zhantian actually said that there was nothing worth watching? Chu Feng almost couldn¡¯t control his anger. ording to what he said, wouldn¡¯t the only interesting thing be Mo Xiao¡¯s challenge in the tower? ¡°Hehehe, Lord Fire God, all the candidates are the hope of our Dragon Country. They are all promising talents. How can you say there¡¯s nothing worth watching?¡± Chu Feng forced a smile and said with a poker face. ¡°Hey, there¡¯s Lord Archmage watching over there. If there¡¯s anything worth my attention, I¡¯ll definitely pay attention. Don¡¯t worry about it,¡± Yan Zhantian waved his hand and said, ¡°Enough of this unproductive chit-chat. I came here for a reason.¡± Chu Feng was puzzled by Yan Zhantian¡¯s words and nced at Mo Xiao beside him. He asked, ¡°What¡¯s so important that you had toe in person? Couldn¡¯t you have just called me over?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. This kid has finished the tower challenge, and it¡¯s a good time to settle the bet with you,¡± Yan Zhantian said directly. ¡°The bet?¡± Chu Feng frowned slightly. Clearly, he had already forgotten about this matter. Yan Zhantian looked at Chu Feng¡¯s expression and didn¡¯t even give him a chance to react. His expression instantly turned cold. ¡°What? I¡¯m here. Do you want to renege on the bet and not give it to Mo Xiao?¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare, I wouldn¡¯t dare! What bet are you talking about? I¡¯ve been busy recently, and 1 forgot.¡± Chu Feng hastily waved his hand. If Mo Xiao hade alone, he might have been able to wriggle out of it, but Yan Zhantian had personallye over! This guy was known for his impatience and hot temper, living up to his nickname as the Fire God. And he genuinely forgot about this bet because he was too busy sulking. Chu Feng¡¯s assistant, standing beside him, leaned in and whispered in his ear, ¡°Lord City Master, it¡¯s about the Tears of Time. You made a bet with Lord Fire God and lost to Mo Xiao.¡± Upon hearing the assistant¡¯s reminder, Chu Feng finally remembered and breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°What was I thinking? So it¡¯s about that. Alright, once today¡¯s assessment is over, I¡¯ll send it to Mo Xiao. Is that okay?¡± ¡°No, who knows if you¡¯ll tamper with it secretly. We¡¯re getting it right now,¡± Yan Zhantian said coldly. ¡°I¡¯ll wait here!¡± Seeing Yan Zhantian¡¯s insistence, Chu Feng was speechless. It was just an unusable piece of junk, why the rush? Although he was very displeased inside, Chu Feng didn¡¯t dare to show any signs of dissatisfaction on the surface. He maintained a smiling face and said, ¡°Alright, alright, since Lord Fire God wants it now, 1¡¯11 have someone fetch it.¡± Chu Feng opened hismunication interface and contacted someone to arrange the transfer of the Tears of Time. A few minutester, Chu Feng opened a panel and asked, ¡°Is this the one?¡± [Tears of Time] Quality: Rainbow Attributes: Spirit +1 Ability: Unknown Wearable Conditions: Unknown Description: A special teardrop from ancient times, it seems to possess mysterious power, only usable by specialized professions. Looking at this introduction, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression became strange. Everything was unknown, and it only added a little spirit attribute. If one did not know how to use this thing, it would definitely be trash. At most, it would be used as a collectible. After all, it was a rainbow-colored equipment. ¡°Mm, this is it. Give it to me.¡± Yan Zhantian nodded and extended his hand to Chu Feng. Seeing this, Chu Feng handed over the Tears of Time without a word. Just like Mo Xiao, this thing was useless to him. It was a pity to abandon it. Rather than offending the God of War because of this thing, it was better to give it away generously. The Fire God held the Tear of Time and confirmed it seriously. Then, he nodded slightly and threw it into Mo Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± Yan Zhantian patted Mo Xiao¡¯s shoulder and then looked at Chu Feng. ¡°I¡¯m very dissatisfied with this college entrance examination. 1 hope you know better than to do whatever you want just because the Skyreach Tower is here!¡± With that, Yan Zhantian didn¡¯t give Chu Feng a chance to exin and directly teleported away with Mo Xiao. Seeing the two of them leave, Chu Feng¡¯s expression instantly became ferocious. ¡°What the hell! Isn¡¯t he just relying on the support of the War God?!¡± Although it was Yan Zhantian who warned him, Chu Feng still ced all his hatred and anger on Mo Xiao. After all, he really didn¡¯t dare to provoke the War God. Meanwhile, in the sky outside the Heaven-reaching Tower. Yao Shi¡¯er and Su Jin¡¯er had been waiting here. Not long after, Yan Zhantian teleported over with Mo Xiao. ¡°Did you get the item?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er asked upon seeing them. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve already taken it from him. Chu Feng won¡¯t cause trouble,¡± Yan Zhantian nodded. ¡°Mo Xiao, try equipping the Tears of Time. You¡¯re a solo yer, so you should be able to use it.¡± Mo Xiao looked at Yan Zhantian with a puzzled expression and asked, ¡°What is this thing anyway? 1 checked the attributes earlier, and it seems quite useless.¡± Hearing this, Yan Zhantian smiled and slowly raised his hand, revealing the wrist guard on his arm. A fiery red jade pendant was embedded in the wrist guard. [Tears of Fire] Quality: Rainbow Attributes: Spirit +1 Ability: Unknown Wearable Conditions: Unknown Description: A special teardrop from ancient times, it seems to possess mysterious power, only usable by specialized professions. Moreover, this description was identical to that of the Tears of Time. ¡°Look carefully, this is a small fireball,¡± Yan Zhantian said as he raised his palm. A ball of mes instantly condensed between his fingers and slowly shot out. Then, Yan Zhantian clenched his right fist, and the jade pendant on his wrist lit up. ¡°This is also a small fireball!¡± In the next moment, an extremely hot blue fireball appeared again. Then it shot out at a terrifying speed, even piercing through the distant clouds.. Chapter 182 - 182: Sage’s Tears Chapter 182: Sage¡¯s Tears Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Tear of Fire, not only can it amplify all skills, but it also has the ability to surpass red-quality skills.¡± Yan Zhantian said and directly put away the magatama in his hand. ¡°As for those skills, I won¡¯t demonstrate them here. The power is too great.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked down at the Tear of Time in his hand. Although there was nothing written in the introduction, from what Yan Zhantian had demonstrated earlier, As long as the Tear of Time and the Tear of Fire were of the same type of equipment, the Tear of Time must have extremely powerful abilities. ¡°What are you waiting for? Aren¡¯t you going to try equipping it?¡± Yan Zhantian asked with a smile. ¡°To be honest, we haven¡¯t encountered an existence that can use the Tears of Time in so many years since we discovered these things.¡± ¡°These? Could it be that there are more than these two?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. Hearing this, Yan Zhantian nced at Yao Shi¡¯er and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Alright, since you¡¯re asking, I¡¯ll tell you.¡± As he spoke, Yan Zhantian willed the Tear of Fire in his hand to fly down from his wrist guard and float in the air. ¡°The Tear of Fire and the Tear of Time have the same name, the Tear of the Sage,¡± Yan Zhantian said slowly. ¡°Rumor has it that they came from the sages of the ancient times in this game world, and are also the core of their power. They contain extremely terrifying energy that can give the user extremely powerful strength.¡± ¡°It corresponds to the sages of ancient times. There are a total of seven types of sage tears, namely wind, fire, lightning, water, earth, and the most special two, soul and time.¡± After Yan Zhantian finished speaking, he activated the Tears of Fire in his hand and continued, ¡°Currently, we know of a total of four Sage Tears. My Tears of Fire, the Sword God¡¯s Tears of Wind, the Tears of Time in front of us, and the Tears of Souls.¡± ¡°Senior Archmage didn¡¯t?¡± Hearing Yan Zhantian¡¯s statement, Mo Xiao immediately turned to look at Yao Shi¡¯er. Seeing this, Yao Shi¡¯er shook her head and said, ¡°My profession doesn¡¯t match the Tears of the Sage. Although I have all kinds of magic skills, I can¡¯t equip any of them.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao thoughtfully looked at Yan Zhantian and asked, ¡°ording to what you said¡­ can 1 really equip something as special as the Sage¡¯s Tears?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Yan Zhantian shook his head without thinking. ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing Yan Zhantian¡¯s words, Mo Xiao was stunned, ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± ¡°Yes, the Sage¡¯s Tears is a special equipment. I¡¯m not sure if an unspecialized¡¯s passive skill can ignore its requirements.¡± Yan Zhantian shrugged and said, ¡°Try it anyway. Even if you can¡¯t use it, you won¡¯t lose anything.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao looked at Yan Zhantian speechlessly, then nodded and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give it a try first.¡± As he spoke, Mo Xiao picked up the Tear of Time, but instead of rubbing it, he equipped it. [You equipped the Tears of Time.] ¡°It seems to be equipped¡­¡± Mo Xiao looked at the Tears of Time on his chest in confusion, because after equipping it, Mo Xiao still didn¡¯t see any skills. The attributes were just as described, and it only increased his Spirit by a little. Seeing that Mo Xiao had sessfully equipped it, Yan Zhantian was also delighted and quickly asked, ¡°How is it? Can you use its special ability?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t feel anything¡­¡± Mo Xiao shook his head, ¡°Let me take another look¡­¡± [Tears of Time] Quality: Rainbow Attributes: Spirit +1 Ability: Reversal Equipment Requirements: Time Controller Introduction: A special teardrop from the ancient times that possesses the power of time. It will give the wearer a powerful power of time to assist in battle. When Mo Xiao opened the introduction panel of Tears of Time again, the introduction on the panel indeed changed. ¡°Reverse Universe?¡± Looking at the name of this ability, Mo Xiao frowned slightly, not understanding what kind of ability it was. ¡°Can you see the ability now?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao read out the name, Yan Zhantian hurriedly asked. Mo Xiao nodded again. ¡°I just don¡¯t know what this ability is for.¡± ¡°If you can see the introduction, it means that you have already obtained the recognition of the Tears of Time and can use its power.¡± Yan Zhantian smiled and said. ¡°The skills of the Sage¡¯s Tears are all very powerful. It¡¯s best not to try them here¡­ Let¡¯s test the strengthening of your basic abilities first.¡± Mo Xiao nodded at first, but he was quickly stunned. He looked at Yan Zhantian with a strange expression and said, ¡°But¡­ although I¡¯m a solo yer, I don¡¯t have a time attribute skill. How can I test it?¡± As soon as he said this, everyone present was embarrassed. Clearly, they had not considered this. When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she suddenly turned her gaze to Yao Shi¡¯er, who was sitting at the side and watching the show. ¡°Master! Don¡¯t you have a time-type skill?¡± ¡°?¡± When Yao Shi¡¯er heard this, she looked at Su Jin¡¯er in confusion and said, ¡°I do have it¡­ but I can¡¯t use the Tears of Time.¡± Just as Su Jin¡¯er was about to say something, she seemed to have thought of something and covered her mouth directly. She looked at Mo Xiao apologetically. Seeing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s gaze, Mo Xiao instantly understood and said directly, ¡°Speak, it¡¯s fine.¡± Seeing that Mo Xiao had agreed, Su Jin¡¯er hurriedly said, ¡°Mo Xiao has a special talent that can replicate the skills of others!¡± ¡°What?!¡± Hearing this, Yan Zhantian and Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s gazes instantly focused on Mo Xiao. No wonder! No wonder Mo Xiao had so many special skills. Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s skills, and even Yan Zhantian¡¯s signature skill! It turned out that he had copied them! ¡°Mo Xiao! How do you trigger this talent? Are there any restrictions?¡± Yan Zhantian hurriedly asked. Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any restrictions. As for triggering it, just let me touch it. As for how to trigger it the second time, 1 don¡¯t know. It¡¯s a certain coincidence.¡± ¡°So¡­ your Fire Elemental Transformation was copied from me?¡± Yan Zhantian asked curiously. Mo Xiao nodded. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve also replicated the power of the Fire God.¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± Hearing this, Yan Zhantian¡¯s eyes instantly widened. The power of the Fire God was a top-notch talent that he had awakened during hisst professional change! Who would have thought that it would be copied by Mo Xiao just like that?! Listening to their conversation, Yao Shi¡¯er fell silent for a moment. After a while, she said, ¡°Since you can replicate skills, go ahead. ¡°However, this skill is quite useless. It¡¯s called time eleration..¡± Chapter 183 - 183: Powerful Time Acceleration! Chapter 183: Powerful Time eleration! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°This move is somewhat mediocre, called Time eleration,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said, snapping her fingers lightly. Then, in the eyes of everyone, Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s walking speed seemed to double, and she rapidly appeared in front of Mo Xiao. ¡°It looks like an increase in movement speed, but it¡¯s actually elerating the time around me. If you enter the range of this skill, you¡¯ll also elerate, so its effect isn¡¯t that great. I usually use it to speed up skill recovery.¡± ¡°That sounds alright, not too shabby,¡± Mo Xiao said, stroking his chin. Yao Shi¡¯er nodded, ¡°You just need to do what you need to do; I¡¯ll cooperate with you.¡± Upon hearing this ambiguous statement, Mo Xiao blushed instantly and took a step back, saying, ¡°Um¡­ How about we shake hands first?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er looked at Mo Xiao¡¯s flushed face and smiled, extending her hand toward him. ¡°Sure, it¡¯s a good opportunity to reintroduce myself. I¡¯m Yao Shi¡¯er, the Archmage. I hope that after the college entrance examination, you¡¯ll agree to be our disciple.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll consider it seriously,¡± Mo Xiao nodded and shook Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s hand. [You rubbed against Yao Shi¡¯er! The innate Blood Demon Source has been replicated!] [Blood Demon Source: When your health points are insufficient, you can choose to reduce mana instead of health until your mana reaches zero. When your mana is insufficient, you can choose to reduce health instead of mana to maintain skills until your health reaches 1, at which point it stops forcibly.] Exchanging health and mana points? This was an incredibly powerful lifesaving talent! As long as he has mana, he won¡¯t die, and as long as he has health, his mana won¡¯t run out! Combined with the power of the Holy Mother, Mo Xiao can keep going indefinitely! ¡°How about it? Did you copy it?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er asked. Hearing Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s question, Mo Xiao shook his head and said, ¡°No¡­ I copied it to your Blood Demon Source.¡± H 11 When Mo Xiao said this, Yao Shi¡¯er was instantly stunned. With those words, Yao Shier was momentarily stunned. Her Blood Demon Source was one of her most important talents, and she hadn¡¯t expected Mo Xiao to copy it just like that! ¡°This guy¡¯s copying skills are quite amazing¡­ he specializes in copying powerful talents and skills!¡± Yan Zhantian remarked, speechless. Yao Shier smiled, ¡°If it gets copied, it gets copied. It¡¯s random anyway. Maybe you were just lucky. How should we go about the second copy?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m not sure¡­¡± ¡°Come on! Yao, just give this kid a p!¡± Yan Zhantian urged. As soon as Yan Zhantian said this, the three of them looked at him with speechless expressions. Seeing their expressions, Yan Zhantian closed his mouth and lowered his head with an awkward smile. ¡°Since a touch will do¡­¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said, raising her hand to pat Mo Xiao¡¯s head. ¡°I¡¯m your senior, so it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to pat your head, right?¡± ¡°Feel free,¡± Mo Xiao replied. [Yao Shier gently patted your head, and the skill ¡®Enchantment¡¯ has been copied!] [Enchantment: Activate mana to enchant a weapon. After using it, every physical attack you make will inflict magic damage equal to your magic strength.] ¡°How is it?¡± Yao Shier withdrew her hand and asked. Mo Xiao shook his head again, ¡°This time it¡¯s Enchantment¡­¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nced at Mo Xiao. Enchantment was also a very powerful skill. Especially for someone like Yao Shi¡¯er, whose magic power was extremely high. Once he used this skill, he could transform into a melee mage, dealing devastating damage with each strike. ¡°Random copying is really troublesome,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er sighed. On the side, Su Jiner suggested, ¡°Master, why don¡¯t you use Time eleration while touching Junior Brother? Maybe the probability will increase?¡± ¡°Although you have a point, you could phrase it more normally¡­¡± Yao Shi¡¯er gave Su Jin¡¯er a reproachful look, then activated Time eleration again and gently touched Mo Xiao¡¯s face. Then, he activated Time eleration again and touched Mo Xiao¡¯s face. [Yao Shi¡¯er gently touched you, and the skill ¡®Time eleration¡¯ has been copied!] ¡°I copied it!¡± Seeing this system prompt, Mo Xiao quickly said. [Time eleration: After use, time within a io-meter radius will be doubled for 30 seconds.] ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s give it a try!¡± Seeing that Mo Xiao had copied it, Yan Zhantian jumped out again. Mo Xiao nodded, but he was quickly stunned. ¡°But¡­ how do I use this basic amplification? I think you used the Tears of Fire just now, right?¡± Yan Zhantian thought for a moment and said, ¡°Concentrate your mind on the Tears of Time and it will automatically activate.¡± ¡°Concentrate?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and slowly closed his eyes. Ding- In the next moment, a crisp sound rang in Mo Xiao¡¯s ears. The jade pendant on Mo Xiao¡¯s chest directly lit up with golden light. [Affected by the Tears of Time, time-type skills have been enhanced.] [Time eleration: After use, time within a 30-meter radius will be elerated by five times! The coverage and eleration multiplier can be freely controlled, and the duration depends on the mana value! Cost: 50 MP/s.] ¡°It can be controlled?¡± Looking at this introduction, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. Then, with a thought, he activated Time eleration. Moreover, he controlled the range to only envelop himself and increased the multiplier by five times. In the next moment, Mo Xiao only took a few steps and ran in front of them at an extremely fast speed. Even if he approached them, they were not affected. Not long after, Mo Xiao dispelled the skill and looked at them excitedly. ¡°It can really increase! And it¡¯s very strong! ¡°The eleration rate seems to have increased, and the range seems to have decreased¡­¡± Chapter 184 Bullet Time? Reverse the Universe? 184 Bullet Time? Reverse the Universe? "What¡­ is this?" Mo Xiao recalled his previous feelings and was dumbfounded. He had changed professions for so long and had dodged many monster skills. But he had never encountered this situation before. Could it be a perfect evasion? That didn''t seem right! Just as Mo Xiao was puzzled, Yan Zhantian, who was beside him, looked at Mo Xiao''s expression and asked, "What''s wrong? I just pped you lightly, and I haven''t even done it yet. Is it necessary to have this expression?" Mo Xiao shook his head and said, "The situation just now seemed a bit different¡­ Could you p me lightly again?" Hearing Mo Xiao''s words, Yan Zhantian raised an eyebrow and said, "Hit you? Aren''t you afraid I''ll p you to death with one p?" Upon hearing Yan Zhantian''s words, Mo Xiao looked at him speechlessly and said, "Can''t you just p me lightly like you did earlier? I just want to conduct a test." Hearing this, Yan Zhantian looked at Mo Xiao with some confusion, clearly not knowing what he wanted to test. "Fine." With that, Yan Zhantian didn''t waste any more words and raised his hand again to p Mo Xiao. Seeing the handing towards him, Mo Xiao easily dodged it once again. Immediately, the strange situation from earlier urred once more. Mo Xiao felt that everything around him had slowed down by more than ten times, but his own senses remained the same, with no change at all. Even his body could move freely, as long as he wished. He could immediately rush forward and give Yan Zhantian a dozen hits. Looking at the bizarre surroundings, Mo Xiao finally confirmed that this state urred during the moment of his evasion, where his senses and movements were elerated by the Tears of Time, giving him a feeling of entering a slow-motion world. In another three seconds, everything around him returned to normal. Yan Zhantian looked at the excited Mo Xiao and asked curiously, "What''s wrong?" "I''ve discovered the strength of the Tears of Time." Mo Xiao''s face revealed a rare trace of excitement. "What ce?" Hearing Mo Xiao''s words, Yan Zhantian also became interested and curiously asked. Mo Xiao thought for a moment and directly exined the previous situation. "Triggered sensory eleration after dodging?" "It''s not just the sensory eleration. Even my movements have been elerated. Although it''s only three seconds, these three seconds are enough for me to do many things," Mo Xiao said excitedly. On the side, Yao Shi''er pondered for a moment and said, "Mo Xiao, try again and see if you can use skills in this state. At the same time, try to see if you can move over arge area in this state." "Alright." Mo Xiao nodded and looked at Yan Zhantian beside him again. Hearing this, Yan Zhantian didn''t waste any time and once again pped Mo Xiao. Seeing this, Mo Xiao easily dodged again. Immediately, the sensory eleration was triggered again, but just as Mo Xiao was about to use his skill, The originally slow surroundings instantly returned to normal. Clearly, the sensory eleration had stopped. "¡­" Seeing the surroundings return to normal, Mo Xiao sighed regretfully. Seeing Mo Xiao''s disappointed expression, Yao Shi''er said calmly, "It seems that you can''t use skills in this special state." "And also, you cannot move too far; you can only take a few steps within a one or two-meter range around you. You can''t break free," Mo Xiao said truthfully. Seeing Mo Xiao''s face full of regret, Yan Zhantian said directly, "This is already good enough. After all, you have been given three seconds of reaction time. Even if you can''t attack, you''re already very strong." "You have to understand that for top experts like us, even a reaction time of just 0.1 seconds can change the course of a battle, let alone three seconds." Mo Xiao nodded when he heard this. He naturally understood this logic, but who wouldn''t want to be stronger? "However¡­" Just as everyone was feeling happy, Mo Xiao suddenly said, "Compared to this enhancement, I''m more interested in this special skill." "Special skill¡­" Hearing Mo Xiao mention it, Yan Zhantian also thought for a moment, "The special skill of Tears of Fire is an extremely destructive attack skill, but no one has ever seen the skill of Tears of Time. If you''re curious, you can give it a try." Yan Zhantian rubbed his chin as he spoke. Then, he casually threw a piece of ore out, "You can use head. 15:38 "I swear! Why did it hit me on the head again!" Yan Zhantian rubbed his head in pain, looked at the ore this as your target." Seeing this, Mo Xiao nodded and instantly activated the Tears of Time skill. "Reverse the Universe!" In an instant, Mo Xiao felt everything around him stop. That''s right, it was different from the previous slowdown. This time, it waspletely still. It was as if everything had been suspended at this moment. At the same time, he was suspended. The only thing he could move about was his gaze. "What''s going on?" Mo Xiao wondered. However, at this moment, Mo Xiao''s attention was focused on the flying ore. It seemed to have been chosen and emitted a dark golden light. The next moment, everything around him returned to normal. But the ore was enveloped in a dark golden light. Then, to the astonishment of everyone, it rapidly retraced its path. It was as if it was being rewound, and in Yan Zhantian''s astonished gaze, it crashed heavily onto his head. "I swear! Why did it hit me on the head again!" Yan Zhantian rubbed his head in pain, looked at the ore in his hand, and asked Mo Xiao with some confusion, "What did you just do?" Mo Xiao didn''t pay attention to Yan Zhantian and thought for a moment. Then he said, "This skill is called Time Reversal, and from the name and the situation just now¡­ "It seems to make things go back in time." That''s right, the ability to reverse the universe was time reversal. Although it could only allow items to return to their original positions, if used well, it would definitely be a terrifying divine skill. After all, this was time reversal! If it could be used on humans¡­ That would be extraordinary. "Time reversal?" Yao Shi''er, who was on the side, heard this and a hint of excitement shed in her eyes. "It''s worthy of being the Tears of the Sage; the power is truly formidable." Mo Xiao nced at Yao Shier and said, "The other abilities are indeed powerful, but this time reversal ability seems to be of no use at the moment¡­" "It''s not that it''s useless, it''s just that you don''t know how to use it correctly yet," Yao Shi''er said with a smile. "When you figure out the right way to use it in the future, you''ll understand. After all, the abilities of the Tears of the Sage are specifically designed to deal with certain special events." Chapter 185 The Tears of Time After Sublimation?! 185 The Tears of Time After Sublimation?! After understanding the ability of the Tears of Time, the group chatted for a while until the first day of the college entrance examination ended. Only then did Mo Xiao leave the map of the Heaven-reaching Tower and return to his temporary residence to rest. However, this time, Su Jin''er also followed. "Congrattions, Mo Xiao, you passed the college entrance examination! And you passed the 30th level! In the past few decades, no one has ever passed the thirtieth level on their first attempt!" In the room, Su Jin''er sat on the sofa and said happily. "Is that so? But¡­ I have to say, the Heaven-reaching Tower is really too difficult," Mo Xiao said truthfully. Su Jin''er nodded seriously and said, "Yes! This Heaven-reaching Tower is really too terrifying. Even I only managed to reach the 50th or 60th floor. It''s really too difficult." "I just don''t know if this Tears of Time can be brought into the Heaven-reaching Tower. If it can be used, my error tolerance will definitely be higher. Perhaps I can break through to a higher level." Mo Xiao looked at the Tears of Time on his neck and said. When Su Jin''er heard this, she looked at Mo Xiao and pondered for a moment before saying, "I think it''s possible. I remember watching Yan Zhantian challenge the tower before. He seemed to have used this special ability of Tears of Fire before." "Is that so¡­" Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully, then asked curiously, "By the way, Senior Sister, what special skill does Yan Zhantian''s Tears of Fire have?" Su Jin''er shook her head directly and said, "I don''t know either. I''ve never seen Yan Zhantian use it before. He always says that it''s too lethal and has never used it in front of us. "However, even if he doesn''t use any special skills, just the enhancement of the Tears of Fire on his ordinary skills, coupled with his innate Fire God Power, is enough to make Yan Zhantian awesome." At this point, Su Jin''er, who was originally half lying on the sofa, suddenly sat up. It was unknown what she thought of. He looked at Mo Xiao excitedly, "Junior Brother! I suddenly thought of something!" "?" Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin''er with some desire and asked, "What''s wrong?" "You''re an unspecialized, right? You can learn all skills, and you can also equip equipment for all professions, right?" Su Jin''er said excitedly. "Okay." Mo Xiao nodded, still not understanding why Su Jin''er was so excited. "Does that mean that as long as you have enough equipment slots, you can equip all the Tears of the Sage alone and activate them, right?" Su Jin''er asked excitedly. Hearing Su Jin''er''s words, Mo Xiao was also stunned, but he quickly reacted. Indeed, Su Jin''er was right. Mo Xiao was a solo yer. As long as the Tears of the Sage were in Mo Xiao''s hands, he could really equip them in one go. He just didn''t know if the Tears of the Sage had any special unique attributes, such as being able to only equip one. At least, Mo Xiao didn''t see it now. "It''s indeed possible¡­ When the timees, I''ll ask Yan Zhantian toe over and give it a try. If it really works¡­" Thinking of this, Mo Xiao became excited. The Tears of Time alone was already so powerful. How powerful would it be if a few sage tears gathered together? "But before that, you still have to familiarize yourself with the Tears of Time''s ability first. Although it''s very strong, you''ve never used it before. When you get familiar with it, yourbat strength will definitely make a qualitative leap," Su Jin''er said excitedly. "Yes." Mo Xiao nodded. Just as he was about to familiarize himself with the Tears of Time''s ability, Mo Xiao suddenly paused, because he suddenly remembered something. Previously, because Yan Zhantian, Yao Shi''er, and the others were all present, Mo Xiao did not rub off the Tears of Time, but directly equipped it. If he rubbed the tears of time¡­ Then, how high could such powerful equipment be upgraded? Thinking of this, Mo Xiao took another deep breath and picked up the Tears of Time in his hand. Then, under Su Jin''er''s puzzled gaze, he gently rubbed it twice. [You rubbed the Tears of Time! The Tears of Time sublimated into the Tears of Time+] "Add?" Seeing the plus sign behind the Tears of Time, Mo Xiao was also stunned. He did not expect the Tears to continue leveling up. However, this plus sign was indeed a little out of character. [Tears of Time] Quality: Rainbow Attributes: Spirit +10 Ability: Reversal of Heaven and Earth, Time Halt Equipment Requirements: Time Controller Introduction: A special teardrop from the ancient times that possesses the power of time. It will give the wearer a powerful power of time to assist in battle. No matter what happened, as long as he stopped it the moment before he was injured, the danger 15:40 would disappear! [Reverse Heaven and Earth: Choose any item to reverse time and return to its previous position, maintaining maximum kic energy.] [Time Halt: You can choose any item to pause time. If you suffer a blow during the pause, you can umte kic energy and release it instantly after the pause ends!] Pause time? umte kic energy?! Seeing this exnation, Mo Xiao couldn''t help but gulp and quickly ask, "Then can we stop living creatures?" [It can pause creatures, but the time that creatures can pause is only one-fifth of that of ordinary objects.] Although it was only one-fifth, Mo Xiao was still very excited! It could pause monsters! What did this mean? It almost meant that he had a second life! No matter what happened, as long as he stopped it the moment before he was injured, the danger would disappear! It could even cooperate with the reversal of the universe to make himself even more invincible! "This is the Tears of the Sage! It''s too powerful!" Mo Xiaoughed excitedly. At the side, Su Jin''er saw this scene and asked in confusion, "What''s wrong? Why are you suddenlyughing so exaggeratedly?" "I rubbed this Tears of Time just now." Mo Xiao obviously did not hide Su Jin''er''s thoughts. Upon hearing this, Su Jin''er nced at Mo Xiao in confusion and said, "This is a multi-colored equipment. Even if you rub it, it shouldn''t continue to level up, right?" "The quality hasn''t changed, but I obtained a new skill!" Mo Xiao grinned and said, "And it''s an especially powerful skill! As for whether the other abilities have been enhanced or not, we''ll have to test itter." "A particrly powerful skill?" Hearing this, Su Jin''er became curious. "What skill is it? Show me." Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and casually threw the Thousand Mechanism Umbre into the air. At this moment, Su Jin''er seemed to see countless golden chains appear in the air and lock up the Thousand Mechanism Umbre. At the same time, the Thousand Mechanism Umbre floated in the air, looking extremely strange. "A particrly powerful skill?" Hearing this, Su Jin''er became curious. "What skill is it? Show me." Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and casually threw the Thousand Mechanism Umbre into the air. At this moment, Su Jin''er seemed to see countless golden chains appear in the air and lock up the Thousand Mechanism Umbre. At the same time, the Thousand Mechanism Umbre floated in the air, looking extremely strange. Chapter 186 - 186: End of the College Entrance Examination 186 End of the College Entrance Examination Mo Xiao casually snapped his fingers, and there was a click. The Thousand Mechanism Umbre floating in the air trembled slightly. Then it seemed to lose support, instantly falling down andnding directly in Mo Xiao''s hand. Beside him, Su Jiner watched Mo Xiao''s actions and thought for a moment before saying, "Time Halt, huh? This ability sounds strong and impressive, but it probably wouldn''t be much help inbat, would it? "Could it be that your Time Halt can be used on living creatures?" Mo Xiao nodded truthfully. "Yes, you can, but if you can pause the use of objects for five seconds, you can only pause for about one second." "Damn! It can actually be used on living creatures?!" Hearing Mo Xiao''s words, Su Jin''er''s eyes widened. After all, the skill Time Halt as an ability sounded exaggerated, and she genuinely believed that it shouldn''t be used on living creatures. However, Mo Xiao imed that it could,pletely challenging Su Jiner''s understanding. After all, even though this was a real world, some fairness should be upheld. Abilities rted to time, no matter how powerful, shouldn''t affect others¡­ "It seems like this Sage''s Tear is indeed an extremely overpowered piece of equipment," Su Jiner said enviously. "I wish I could have one." Mo Xiao nced at Su Jiner and said, "Didn''t Yan Zhan Tian mention that one of them is called Tears of the Soul? Perhaps that one would suit you." "Tears of the Soul?" Su Jiner was momentarily surprised, then smiled. "Forget it. Tears of the Soul is not in our Dragon Country." "It''s in the Beautiful Country, right? Why not find an opportunity to take it?" Mo Xiao suggested directly. Su Jiner looked at Mo Xiao somewhat speechlessly. "What do you mean, just take it? Our Dragon Country and the Beautiful Country have a tense rtionship. How could they give us something so important?" "If they don''t give it, then we can just take it. Are we supposed to be afraid of the Beautiful Country?" Mo Xiao said calmly. "Well¡­ not exactly, but it''s a bit troublesome," Su Jiner said with some frustration. "After all, the Beautiful Country is a part of our Blue Star, and we still need the unity of humanity to fight against the monsters. We can''t afford to worsen our rtionship with them too much." Listening to Su Jiner''s concerns, Mo Xiao remained silent. For him, the idea of unity among humans was nonsense. In his eyes, he was the most important, and all this talk about human unity was nonsense. Even within Dragon Country, people might stab you in the back. The only person you could trust was yourself. Seeing that Mo Xiao did not speak, Su Jin''er did not continue this topic. Instead, she changed the topic and continued chatting. The next few days were torturous for Mo Xiao, who had alreadypleted the assessment. He was not allowed to leave, nor was he allowed to enter the dungeons in the city. He could only stay here and wander around, which was pure torture for him. After two days of torture, the college entrance examination finally came to an end. On the evening of the third day, as thest examinee walked out of the teleportation array, this year''s college entrance examination finally officially ended. At this moment, all the examinees were gathered in the vast square. The familiar Chu Feng also appeared in front of everyone again. "Candidates! Hello! Congrattions on passing this year''s college entrance examination!" Chu Feng slowly took flight and looked at the examinees in the square. He said passionately, "After three days of assessment, you should all have some understanding of your results. "In the next few days, the various universities will begin to analyze your performance and choose the students they want. "Of course, if your scores are outstanding, some universities may approach you right after the college entrance examination and offer you admission. "Also, don''t worry, just because you didn''t make it to the third round doesn''t mean you have no chance of entering a university. You still have your opportunities! "So, please don''t be discouraged and don''t give up on yourself! Even if you don''t get into a university, you can choose to join other factions and families and gain the ability to survive in this chaotic world. "All right, I won''t talk too much. This college entrance examination is officially over! The cost of using the teleportation array will be covered by our Yanlong Base City! Dismiss!" As Chu Feng uttered the word "dismiss," the originally quiet square suddenly became noisy. Thismotion was not only caused by the students, but also by countless professionals in uniforms rushing into the square. "Mo Xiao! Mo Xiao! Don''t go, don''t go! We''re the enrollment teachers of the Capital''s First Academy! Are you interested in joining our school?" "You''re disrespectful to a top student like him! You only sent two enrollment teachers here? Student Mo Xiao! I''m the vice-principal of the First High School in Demon Base City! As long as you agree to join our school, we''re willing to invest all of the school''s resources in you!" "Mo Xiao¡­" Hearing the frantic calls from the surroundings, the students didn''t dare say anything to Mo Xiao. After all, they had witnessed Mo Xiao''s previous assessment, and his strength was simply overwhelming. They couldn''t evenpare to him, let alone have the qualifications to stand alongside him. At this moment, Mo Xiao frowned. He had never liked noisy environments, and the mor around him was giving him a headache. Just as Mo Xiao was about to take off and escape, arge hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder. Mo Xiao turned around and saw Yao Shi''er standing quietly beside him, looking at him with a gentle expression. "Senior Archmage?" Looking at Yao Shi''er, Mo Xiao suddenly understood. It seemed that they nned to take him in as a disciple in front of all the students. At this moment, Yan Zhantian also descended from the sky. A huge me halo instantly rushed out, pushing everyone dozens of meters away. "Don''t even think about taking Mo Xiao. With his talent, only we War Gods can teach him." Yan Zhantian grinned, "Don''t you agree, Mo Xiao?" "¡­" Listening to Yan Zhantian''s words, Mo Xiao remained silent, just looking at him quietly. At this moment, Yan Zhantian suddenly took a step back and walked to Mo Xiao''s side. Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, golden light slowly condensed in front of him. Not long after, a golden figure appeared out of thin air in front of Mo Xiao. Chapter 188 - 188: The Powerful Sword God Chapter 188 - 188: The Powerful Sword God Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Even if all of you are War Gods, you still need to prove to me that you have the ability to guide me.¡± Mo Xiao said in a cold voice. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you can easily kill me now; it¡¯s just a level suppression. If we were at the same level, it wouldn¡¯t be so easy to say who would win.¡± Listening to Mo Xiao¡¯s words, the others exchanged nces. After a few moments of eye contact, the Sword God chuckled and said, ¡°Very well, since you want us to prove ourbat abilities, then let¡¯s do it. With that, the Sword God gathered a golden light in his hand, which quickly transformed into a golden sword.
    ¡°Come on, Mo Xiao. Let me see how much you weigh as the first genius to directly pass through the 30th floor of the Heaven-reaching Tower,¡± the Sword God said. He held the golden sword in his hand and quietly looked at Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao subconsciously nced at the other two War Gods beside him. They seemed to have no reaction. Since that was the case, Mo Xiao stopped talking and summoned two Thousand Mechanism Umbres at the same time. He charged toward the Sword God, swinging the umbres at him. Just as the umbres swung toward the Sword God, something unexpected happened. They instantly transformed into two long swords and shed at the Sword God. ¡°Switching weapon forms? So it¡¯s a special weapon,¡± the Sword Godmented with a smile as Mo Xiao¡¯s attack transformed mid-strike. ¡°Changing forms in the midst of an attack, preventing the enemy from reacting immediately. That¡¯s a good technique.¡± With that remark, Mo Xiao felt a gust of wind, and in the next moment, his Thousand Mechanism Umbres seemed to encounter an obstacle and couldn¡¯t advance any further. The second umbre didn¡¯t even get close to the Sword God; it stopped in its tracks. What was even more bewildering was that Mo Xiao had sensed the Sword God¡¯s movement, but he hadn¡¯t seen any trace of it, and his attacks had been effortlessly blocked. Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, the Sword God showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. ¡°You seem to¡­ have sensed my movement?¡± Mo Xiao nodded slightly. ¡°1 sensed a little, but 1 didn¡¯t see what you did, let alone counter it.¡± ¡°For all these years, you are the only one who noticed my movement when I attacked for the first time. You truly deserve to be the genius of our human race,¡± the Sword God said, then moved again, still at an astonishing speed. This time, Mo Xiao, who had left himself a little room, immediately activated Time eleration the moment he sensed the Sword God¡¯s movement. Everything around him seemed to slow down. But the Sword God¡¯s light sword continued to approach him at an incredible speed. Although the speed was still terrifying, Mo Xiao just managed to react. He performed a quick backflip to dodge the Sword God¡¯s attack. As Mo Xiao dodged, the Tear of Time on his neck faintly lit up with a dark golden light. In his slowed-down perception of time, he noticed it. ¡°Sure enough, it can be stacked¡­¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao was delighted. He immediatelyunched an attack against the Sword God. Just as his own attack was about to hit the mark, a powerful gust of wind suddenly erupted from the Sword God. In an instant, Mo Xiao was sent flying. Everyone present only saw a golden light sh, and then Mo Xiao was sent flying. In just a few breaths of time, Mo Xiao had made several moves, but whenbined, they resulted in him being repelled. ¡°Bang!¡± With a heavy thud, Mo Xiao crashed into a nearby wall. ¡°Boss! What are you doing! Isn¡¯t it just a test? You really went all out!¡± Yan Zhantian eximed in surprise at the scene. The Sword God looked at Mo Xiao with some surprise. ¡°I didn¡¯t attack; he was just pushed back by my Wind Wall.¡± ¡°What? A Wind Wall? Wasn¡¯t it your defensive skill?¡± Yan Zhantian was initially puzzled but then realized, ¡°This kid didn¡¯t just dodge your attack; he counterattacked, didn¡¯t he?¡± The Sword God nodded slightly and nced at the Tears of Time hanging from Mo Xiao¡¯s neck. ¡°It seems he can now use the abilities of the Tears of Time inbat, and his learning ability is much stronger than yours was.¡± Yan Zhantian:¡±???¡± Before long, Mo Xiao climbed to his feet with the help of Su Jin¡¯er. ¡°Is this the Sword God? A single protective skill is this powerful¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just a protective skill; it¡¯s one of the abilities of the Tears of Wind. When you fully master the Tears of Time, you can directly negate the Tears of Wind¡¯s abilities,¡± the Sword God exined with a smile. ¡°Just like when you activated the Tears of Time, my attack speed didn¡¯t decrease much.¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t that because your attack speed is already so fast?¡± Mo Xiao asked, somewhat puzzled. The Sword God shook his head. ¡°I can indeed increase my attack speed to the level you mentioned, but I was just testing with you, so 1 didn¡¯t use my full power.¡± Listening to the Sword God¡¯s words, Mo Xiao fell into thought. ¡°But aren¡¯t attack speed and skill advantages brought by level?.¡± ¡°The attack speed I¡¯m using is simr to what you have now,¡± the Sword God replied casually. ¡°I¡¯m just using some special techniques to achieve this kind of attack speed that makes it difficult for you to catch.¡± H 11 Watching the silent Mo Xiao, the Sword God smiled slightly and continued, ¡°So, Mo Xiao, what do you think? Do you want to learn?¡± ¡°I can teach you, and with your talent, you can definitely learn,¡± he added. Yan Zhantian, on the side, urged, ¡°Kid, this is a rare opportunity! The three of us became War Gods through real battles, not by deceiving anyone. Why are you so hesitant?¡± The Sword God smiled and asked again, ¡°Young one, I¡¯ll ask you again. Do you want to be our disciple? Being amon disciple of the three War Gods is a unique position.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t really care about positions,¡± Mo Xiao said calmly. ¡°1 just want to be stronger.¡± ¡°You can rest assured, if you be our disciple, it¡¯s for the sole purpose of making you stronger and ensuring that our human race has a future, to guide us out of our current predicament,¡± the Sword God said earnestly. ¡°Child, you don¡¯t have to worry too much. The choice is in your hands,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said softly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if you don¡¯t want to be the disciple of all three of us, you can be mine alone!¡± Yan Zhantian boasted with a smirk. Looking at the three people in front of him, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and nced at Su Jin¡¯er beside him. Then he nodded slightly. ¡°Disciple Mo Xiao pays his respects to the three masters..¡± Chapter 189 - 189: Master’s Ceremony? You Can Give Me the Tears of Fire Chapter 189: Master¡¯s Ceremony? You Can Give Me the Tears of Fire Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Mo Xiao greets the three masters.¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment. Without any hesitation, he bowed respectfully to the three of them. ¡°Good! Hahaha! 1 finally have a disciple!!¡± Seeing this, Yan Zhantian immediately helped Mo Xiao up and smiled excitedly. The Sword God smiled and said, ¡°Very good. From today onwards, you¡¯re my third disciple. ¡°I don¡¯t have anything to give you in my current state, so I¡¯ll give you an auxiliary ability.¡± As the Sword God spoke, he raised his hands under everyone¡¯s puzzled gazes. A jade pendant emitting a blue light appeared in his hand. Then a stream of green light entered Mo Xiao¡¯s body. The Sword God¡¯s body became somewhat ethereal. [Ding, you have obtained the Blessing of the Wind Sage!] [Blessing of the Wind Sage: The wind around you will protect you, creating a wind barrier around your body to block everything. Cooldown: 12 hours.] ¡°Wind Wall?¡± Upon seeing this, Moxiao immediately understood that this skill was the one the Sword God had used to push him away earlier. ¡°Yes.¡± The Sword God nodded and said, ¡°Every skill has different ways of use. Although it seems like a defensive skill, with the right application, even something like a wind barrier can be a powerful weapon against your enemies.¡± After saying that, the Sword God¡¯s body suddenly flickered twice. ¡°It seems that it¡¯s about time. 1¡¯11 leave first. For the next few days, follow the Fire God and the Archmage. 1 look forward to the day you enter the Tianyuan Battlefield.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the Sword God turned into specks of starlight and disappeared. Seeing the Sword God leave, Yan Zhantian directly hugged Mo Xiao and said, ¡°Kid! From today onwards, you are my disciple! In the future, if anyone bullies you, just tell me! 1 will avenge you!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao speechlessly nced at Yan Zhantian and directly struggled out of his hand. Then he extended his hand towards Yan Zhantian. ¡°Mm? What do you want?¡± Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s action, Yan Zhantian was also stunned, clearly not understanding what Mo Xiao meant. Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, ¡°The Sword God has already given you the apprenticeship gift. As your master, you can¡¯t be so petty, right?¡± ¡°???¡± Yan Zhantian¡¯s eyes widened when he heard this. ¡°Didn¡¯t I help you get the Tears of Time?! Isn¡¯t this a gift to acknowledge me as your master?!¡± When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she hurriedly said, ¡°Of course not! At that time, Junior Brother had yet to acknowledge a master! Don¡¯t you think so, Master?!¡± Seeing this, Yao Shi¡¯er also smiled. After thinking for a moment, she took out a skill book from her bosom. ¡°Since I¡¯ve be your master, I naturally have to give this gift. This is a purple skill book. Although it¡¯s not too precious, it¡¯s still a rare thing. Take it and learn it.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao quickly took the skill book from Yao Shi¡¯er. [Congrattions on obtaining the skill book Gravity Control (Purple)] [Gravity ControEAllows you to manipte gravity within a certain range, increasing or decreasing it. Cost: loo MP per second. Cooldown: 30 minutes.] ¡°Gravity Control?¡± Although it looked very ordinary on paper, Mo Xiao knew very well that this was definitely an extremely powerful control skill. Coupled with the fact that it was purple, as long as he rubbed it slightly, it would definitely be an iparably terrifying skill after sublimation. Yao Shi¡¯er nodded slightly and said, ¡°Yes, Gravity Control. I¡¯ve already learned this skill, but it¡¯s a very rare skill after all, so I¡¯ve kept it. It¡¯s perfect for you now.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Mo Xiao quickly thanked her. Yao Shi¡¯er smiled in satisfaction. ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Yan Zhantian, ¡°Yan Zhantian, we¡¯ve both given our master¡¯s gifts. Now it¡¯s your turn.¡± Hearing this, Yan Zhantian scratched his head awkwardly. ¡°How about¡­ 1 help you level up?¡± ¡°1 can level up faster solo,¡± Moxiao immediately declined the offer. ¡°How about I teach you some fire-based control techniques?¡± Yan Zhantian suggested. Moxiao looked at Yan Zhantian with a puzzled expression. ¡°You¡¯re my master now. Isn¡¯t that what you should be doing?¡± ¡°Ahaha, that seems to be the case¡­¡± Seeing Yan Zhantian like this, Mo Xiao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, ¡°How about this? You can give me the Tears of Fire.¡± ¡°?¡± Hearing this, Yan Zhantian was stunned for a moment before quickly rejecting, ¡°No! This is myst trump card to resist the beast tide. I can¡¯t give it to you! At least¡­ I can¡¯t give it to you now.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t give it to me now?¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this. Yan Zhantian¡¯s words seemed to really be possible for him to give it to him? ¡°That¡¯s right, unless you can take charge and take over the position of our War God after you graduate, this Tear of Fire will be handed over to you.¡± Yan Zhantian said seriously. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s another possibility. He¡¯ll give you the Tears of Fire.¡± At this moment, Su Jin¡¯er suddenly appeared from the side and said with a strange smile. Yan Zhantian raised his eyebrows, as if he felt that Su Jin¡¯er would say something very strange. ¡°That is¡­ When he dies, this Tears of Fire will definitely be given to you,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a grin. When Yan Zhantian heard this, he was instantly furious. ¡°Damn! I knew it! You wretched girl, nothing goodes out of your mouth! What do you mean by waiting for me to die! I¡¯m still young!¡± ¡°I¡¯m just joking. Lord Fire God won¡¯t be so petty, right?¡± Su Jin¡¯erughed. Looking at Su Jin¡¯er in front of him, Yan Zhantian rolled his eyes at her speechlessly. Then, he said,¡±Alright, 1 don¡¯t have any valuable items to give you at the moment, but I can promise you something. As long as it doesn¡¯t involve giving away the Tears of Fire, or harm to humanity and Dragon Country, I¡¯ll agree to any request you make. How about that?¡± Moxiao looked at Yan Zhantian and nodded, ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± Although Moxiao wasn¡¯t sure what requests he might have for Yan Zhantian in the future, having the support of a War God was undoubtedly a valuable asset. Seeing that Mo Xiao had agreed, Yan Zhantian also grinned happily, ¡°You¡¯re wee, you¡¯re wee- If there¡¯s anything, just mention it. Master will definitely think of a way to help you do it!¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nced at Yan Zhantian and said, ¡°Mo Xiao, now that the college entrance examination has ended, what are your ns next? Do you want to go directly to the Tianyuan Battlefield with us, or are you prepared to enroll in some college for further studies?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao said directly, ¡°I¡¯m already level 30 and can change my profession. I¡¯m preparing toplete the profession change mission first.¡± ¡°A profession change?¡± Hearing this, Yao Shi¡¯er nodded slightly and said, ¡°Alright, since that¡¯s the case, let Jin¡¯er apany you on this journey..¡± Chapter 190 - 190: Professional Advancement Tower Chapter 190: Professional Advancement Tower Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°That¡¯s true. You¡¯re already level 30. The most important thing now is indeed to change your profession. Since that¡¯s the case, let Jin¡¯er apany you,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said after thinking for a moment. ¡°No need, I can go by myself. No need to trouble Senior Sister. She must have things to do¡­¡± Mo Xiao was about to refuse but was interrupted by Su Jin¡¯er, who said firmly, ¡°I¡¯m not busy! I don¡¯t have anything to do! I¡¯ll just take you through the second professional advancement. It¡¯s simple!¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, Mo Xiao was about to refuse, but he shut his mouth under Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s fierce gaze. ¡°It¡¯s a deal! I¡¯ll go with you! Just in case you can¡¯t find a ce-¡± Su Jin¡¯er said very happily. Looking at Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s happy expression, Mo Xiao could only nod helplessly and say, ¡°Okay.¡± I¡¯ve been hearing you talk about profession changes. Where should we go for the profession change? Does our world have a main city like a game world?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen a main city, but maybe we will in the future,¡± Yan Zhantian said, scratching his chin. ¡°However, there are quite a few special buildings like the Heaven-reaching Tower.¡± ¡°Heaven-reaching Tower?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao looked at Yan Zhantian in surprise. How could he remember that this Heaven-reaching Tower was the only one in the world? ¡°It¡¯s just a special building like this, but it¡¯s not exactly the same as the Heaven-reaching Tower.¡± Yan Zhantian saw that Mo Xiao had misunderstood and said directly, ¡°In the center of our Dragon Country, there¡¯s an independent building called the Profession Advancement Tower. ¡°After all professionals reach a certain level, they need to go to the Professional Advancement Tower to start their Professional Advancement Quests. They can only continue to level up after changing professions.¡± Listening to Yan Zhantian¡¯s exnation, Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully, then asked, ¡°All Professionals¡­ including foreign countries?¡± ¡°Of course not. Foreign professionals can forget about entering our Dragon Country!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said directly without thinking. Yao Shi¡¯er also exined, ¡°There are naturally ss Advancement Towers that belong to them overseas, but their country is not asrge as our Dragon Country. The Professional Advancement Towers happen to be in the center of the country, and most of their Professional Advancement Towers are shared by several countries.¡± ¡°Share? Then won¡¯t they have any objections if our Dragon Country doesn¡¯t share?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. When Yan Zhantian snorted in annoyance. ¡°Humph! Objections? Do they dare to have objections? If they dare, I wouldn¡¯t mind visiting their Hall of Heroes again!¡± Visiting again? Mo Xiao keenly caught these words. From what Yan Zhantian said, it seemed that such a thing had happened before. Su Jin¡¯er, on the side, smiled and exined, ¡°About five years ago, the Cherry Blossom Country caused trouble, saying they wanted our Dragon Country to share the use of the Professional Advancement Tower and resorted to various means. ¡°When Yan Zhantian found out, he directly stormed into the Cherry Blossom Country¡¯s Hall of Heroes, destroyed the idols inside, and made tens of thousands of Cherry Blossom Country people lose their resurrection ability. Many professionals¡¯ strength dropped, and the entire country was almost wiped out by monsters.¡± ¡°Really? Yan Zhantian has done something so thrilling before?¡± Listening to Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s narration, Mo Xiao looked at Yan Zhantian in amazement. ¡°You have to call me Master! Which disciple calls the Master by his name!¡± Yan Zhantian said angrily, ¡°Humph! The Cherry Blossom Country dares to prance around in front of our Dragon Country. They¡¯re just asking for trouble!¡± Seeing this, Yao Shi¡¯er shook her head slightly and said, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough nonsense.¡± ¡°The Professional Advancement Tower area is somewhat special; you can¡¯t teleport there directly. You¡¯ll need to go to the nearby base city first, and then make your way there. Don¡¯t waste any time,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said. ¡°I need to go back to guard the Tianyuan Battlefield, and your senior brother has been at the front lines for several days. It wouldn¡¯t be good if monsters attacked during this gap-¡± ¡°Yes, Master.¡± When Mo Xiao and Su Jin¡¯er heard this, they nodded respectfully at the same time. ¡°Old Yan,e with me. 1 have something to talk to you about.¡± Yao Shi¡¯er looked at Yan Zhantian and said. Yan Zhantian nced at Yao Shi¡¯er. Although he really wanted to go with Mo Xiao, after seeing Yao Shi¡¯er¡¯s gaze, he didn¡¯t dare to say anything else and followed behind Yao Shi¡¯er, turning into a blue light and teleporting away. Seeing the two of them leave, Su Jin¡¯er said excitedly again, ¡°How is it? Do you want to rest for a while? Or should we set off directly?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°Let¡¯s reorganize it a little. I happen to have something to ask.¡± ¡°Huh? Ask what? About the professional advancement?¡± Su Jin¡¯er tilted her head. Mo Xiao nodded and thought for a moment before asking, ¡°Professional advancement¡­ meanspleting a mission, right? How difficult is the mission?¡± Su Jin¡¯er thought for a moment and said, ¡°This is based on the profession. The rarer the profession, the higher the difficulty of the mission. The stronger the profession, the higher the difficulty.¡± ¡°For example, I¡¯m a necromancer, so my three professional transition missions are to collect the drops of some special undead creatures. ¡°Although the difficulty isn¡¯t high, the drop rate is too low. ¡°If it¡¯s for life-based professions like cksmiths, they just need to forge powerful equipment for their profession change, and they can even cheat.¡± Listening to Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s exnation, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression also became strange. ording to her, the Professional Advancement Quest was determined by the Professional Advancement ss. Necromancers corresponded to undead creatures, and cksmiths corresponded to forging equipment¡­ But he was a solo yer¡­ A profession that could use anything and have everything¡­ This professional advancement mission¡­ Seemed like they wouldn¡¯t be easy to handle! Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s gradually darkening expression, Su Jin¡¯er asked directly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you scared now? You can even handle the Heaven-reaching Tower¡­¡± ¡°If it¡¯s for life-based professions like cksmiths, they just need to forge powerful equipment for their profession change, and they can even cheat.¡± Listening to Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s exnation, Mo Xiao¡¯s expression also became strange. ording to her, the Professional Advancement Quest was determined by the Professional Advancement ss.

Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°The ss Advancement Tower is in the central area of our Dragon Country. The nearest base city to it is Yangcheng Base City.¡± Su Jin¡¯er introduced in detail like a tour guide, ¡°Although Yangcheng Base City is not as big as Yanlong Base City, because of the ss Advancement Tower, it can be considered one of the top cities in our Dragon Country.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a teleportation array in Yanlong Base City that can teleport you there directly.¡± As Su Jin¡¯er spoke, she nced at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°However, the college entrance examination has just ended. Do you want to go back to Yi City to take a look first?¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows. ¡°Why are you returning to Yi City?¡± ¡°After all, the college entrance examination has just ended. Of course, I¡¯m going back to Yi City to tell my family the good news-¡± Without thinking, Su Jin¡¯er said directly, ¡°After all, your college entrance examination results are quite good!¡±
    Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Report good news to my family? What good news? I¡¯m an orphan. How can I have a family?¡± Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s expression instantly froze. She hurriedly apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. 1 forgot about this. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Mo Xiao nced at Su Jin¡¯er and did not say much on this topic. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go to Yangcheng Base City first.¡± ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s go!¡± Seeing that Mo Xiao did not have much of a reaction, Su Jin¡¯er heaved a sigh of relief and directly led Mo Xiao towards the teleportation array. Meanwhile, in the Tianyuan Battlefield. Yan Zhantian looked at the countless demon creatures in front of him with a solemn expression, not knowing what to say for a moment. ¡°How did this happen? Why did so many monsters suddenly appear?¡± Yan Zhantian asked in confusion. Yao Shi¡¯er shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. It happened a few days before the college entrance examination¡­¡± ¡°These damned demons, what are they up to again? How¡¯s the situation on the battlefield in the other countries?¡± Yan Zhantian asked with a frown. ¡°This situation only happened in our Dragon Country¡¯s Tianyuan Battlefield. It didn¡¯t happen anywhere else,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said with a serious expression. When Yan Zhantian heard this, his expression immediately flickered, ¡°Is it because Boss left for a while?¡± ¡°Not to that extent. Boss often uses his clones to go out and deliver messages. When has such a thing ever happened?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er continued, ¡°I¡¯m afraid the Demon n has another n.¡± ¡°The n¡­ is targeting our Dragon Country again?¡± Yan Zhantian gritted his teeth. ¡°It seems that my leave can only end early. Where are your two disciples?¡± ¡°They¡¯ve already gone tomand the battle. Otherwise, 1 wouldn¡¯t have rushed to bring you back,¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said. ¡°Once Jin¡¯er and Mo Xiao finish their professional change, they can join the battle too.¡± Upon hearing this, Yan Zhantian¡¯s expression changed. ¡°So early? Didn¡¯t you ask Su Jin¡¯er to reach level 40 before going to the battlefield? That¡¯s not good, right? It¡¯s rare to see such a talented brat. What if she dies on the battlefield?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you give them a blessing?¡± Yao Shi¡¯er said directly. ¡°Different people require different training methods, and Mo Xiao¡¯s talent is exceptionally high. Normal battles don¡¯t hold much meaning for him, and as for levels¡­ there are plenty of secret realms and trials on the battlefield, which can help with leveling up quickly.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yan Zhantian fell silent for a moment upon hearing this. ¡°Let¡¯s discuss this after they all return.¡± Yao Shi¡¯er nodded again. ¡°Alright, but for now, you may need to make a trip.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a level-four beast tide that¡¯s about to arrive.¡± An hourter. Outside Yangcheng Base City. ¡°We¡¯ll exit through the west gate and head northwest for about 50 kilometers, and we¡¯ll reach our destination,¡± Su Jiner said as she drove and marked a route on the map. Mo Xiao looked at the map in front of him and nodded thoughtfully. ¡°It¡¯s not far¡­ but why are the monster areas around this ss Advancement Tower so high-leveled?¡± ording to the map, after leaving Yangcheng City and heading northwest, the monster levels increased sharply, reaching 40 levels and above, except for the beginner leveling area around the city, which had monsters under level 10. Yangcheng City itself had a gradual leveling area only at the north gate, with cliffs and gaps everywhere else. Guards were stationed around the leveling area to protect new profession-changed students. Su Jiner thought for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s probably because of the Professional Advancement Tower. It¡¯s unique, and these monsters are here to obstruct us.¡± ¡°A level 40 to 70 monster area¡­ Can ordinary people even pass through here?¡± Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but frown as he looked at the monster levels. Su Jin¡¯er nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s indeed very difficult to force my way over like this. Back then, I tried to walk once. If not for Master, 1 would have died inside.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°You can¡¯t even walk through it? It¡¯s so difficult? You have Master¡¯s help, but what about the other ordinary people?¡± Upon hearing this, Su Jin¡¯er nced at Mo Xiao and said, ¡°You can take the car over.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± When Su Jin¡¯er said this, Mo Xiao was instantly stunned. ¡°Take a car???¡± Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, Su Jin¡¯er smiled and said, ¡°Although the game has descended on our world and brought a lot of destruction, our technology has notpletely disappeared. Otherwise, how do you think such a huge base city was built?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was stunned for a while. ¡°You couldn¡¯t pass through? It¡¯s that difficult? I thought there might be a profession like a builder.¡± ¡°We do have builders, but they can¡¯t build a whole city. After all, things like circuits can¡¯t be created by professions alone; they require manual instation,¡± Su Jiner exined. ¡°So, don¡¯t think that this world is solely for professionals. Blue Star¡¯s technology is still advancing rapidly.¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows again. ¡°Since Blue Star¡¯s technology is still around and developing, why haven¡¯t we seen technological weapons used against the beast tides?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not entirely sure about the details, but one thing is certain: our scientists have sessfullybined materials and technology from the game world. Soon, our existing technological weapons will be even more powerful when used against monsters,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said earnestly. Seeing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s hopeful expression, Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes, lost in thought about something. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about it for now; let¡¯s set off. We still have quite a distance to cover,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a smile. ¡°This time, 1¡¯11 let you try to force your way through. 1 want to see how far you can hold out..¡± Chapter 192 - 192: What? Is the Experience I Need to Level Up Different From Others? Chapter 192 - 192: What? Is the Experience I Need to Level Up Different From Others? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios Listening to Su Jiner¡¯s words, Mo Xiao also chuckled lightly. ¡°Alright, 1¡¯11 give it a try. But 1 feel like I can just go and kill them directly.¡± ¡°Is that so? When the timees, don¡¯t beg me to save you-¡± Su Jin¡¯er smiled and directly led Mo Xiao towards the Professional Advancement Tower. The Professional Advancement Tower was only 50 kilometers away from Yangcheng Base City. For the current professionals, with their movement speed, 50 kilometers was not too far. The biggest challenge was the monsters along the way.
    However, for someone like Mo Xiao with supermodel attributes, these monsters were no match for him Not to mention that Su Jin¡¯er was beside him. Two hourster. Mo Xiao casually swung his sword and killed a lizard with a yellow glow on its body. At the same time, a familiar message shed in front of Mo Xiao again. [You have killed the Thunder Lizard (LV41) and gained 0 experience points. You have reached level 30. Please proceed with your profession change!] ¡°Ugh, this level restriction is so annoying. 1 didn¡¯t even gain a single point of experience,¡± Mo Xiao grumbled as he looked at the system message. Seeing his frustration, Su Jiner chuckled, ¡°Well, that¡¯s how it is before you change your profession. Just a few small monsters, and you¡¯ll level up in no time. Besides, reaching level 31 only requires a little more experience. ¡°Besides, it doesn¡¯t take much experience to level up from level 30. I¡¯ll get it in an instant. There¡¯s no need to care about this.¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao instantly looked at Su Jin¡¯er speechlessly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t want too much experience? I need a total of two million experience points to level up!¡± As soon as Mo Xiao said this, Su Jin¡¯er was instantly stunned. She asked in confusion, ¡°How much? Stop fooling around. You¡¯re only Level 30. How can you need so much experience to level up? I only need more than two million experience points to level up at Level 60 now.¡± Mo Xiao nced at Su Jin¡¯er and did not say anything. He directly threw his attribute panel to Su Jin¡¯er. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao HP: 24,600/24,600 Mana Points: 106,680/106,680 Level: LV30 (0/20,000,000) (Unable to gain experience until profession change) Profession: Solo yer Strength: 654 (+1,510) Agility: 385 (+900) Spirit: 269 (+4,420) Endurance: 265 (+800) Physique: 265 (+1,400) ¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡­ really two million!¡± Su Jin¡¯er eximed in shock, looking at the nearly insane experience requirement. ¡°Why do you want so much experience points?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked in confusion. Hearing this, Mo Xiao said in frustration, ¡°Don¡¯t ask me why. I thought everyone had the same experience requirements as me, given how slowly others are leveling up. But ording to what you¡¯re saying, my experience requirement ispletely different.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just different; your experience requirement is downright crazy!¡± Su Jin¡¯er remarked. ¡°The stronger the profession, the more experience is needed for leveling up. Ordinary professions require much less.¡± H H Upon hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, Mo Xiao instantly fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment. ¡°Senior Sister, what¡¯s going on? So, different professions have different experience requirements?¡± Mo Xiao asked in confusion. Su Jin¡¯er nodded and said, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s indeed the case. ¡°The more powerful the profession, the more experience it needs. My profession is already considered strong, and its experience requirement even surpasses my master¡¯s. But¡­ ¡°Like you, needing two million experience points at level 30, I¡¯ve never seen before. ¡°To think that you could reach Level 30 so quickly with such a high demand for experience points. It¡¯s really ridiculous.¡± Listening to Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s praise, Mo Xiao did not know whether tough or cry. ording to this logic, when he reached level 40, he might need a terrifying four million experience points, making it nearly impossible to advance. What¡¯s the point of ying! ¡°What a ridiculous game! Is it specifically targeting me?¡± Mo Xiaoined. Looking at Mo Xiao¡¯s increasingly bitter expression, Su Jin¡¯er hurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t be so sad! There¡¯s still a solution!¡± ¡°What solution?¡± Mo Xiao nced at Su Jin¡¯er faintly when he heard that. ¡°In the Hall of Heroes, you can exchange merit points for some special equipment, such as¡­ the Experience Medal!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said quickly after thinking for a moment. Hearing this, Mo Xiao immediately took out his medal. ¡°Are you referring to this?¡± [Experience Medal] Quality: Gold Spirit: +10 Amplification (Passive): Increases all experience gains by 50% when equipped. Reset (Active): Resets the cooldown time of dungeons. CD: 2 hours. Sharing (Passive): Your teammates also receive a 20% experience bonus. ¡°Wow, a gold experience medal? It¡¯s like a dungeon farming artifact!¡± Su Jin¡¯er eximed, surprised by the medal¡¯s description. Just as she finished speaking, Su Jin¡¯er realized her mistake and said awkwardly, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you already have one¡­ and it seems better than what you can exchange in the Hall of Heroes¡­¡± Mo Xiao:¡±¡­¡± Cough¡­ Well, there are also experience spirit fruits! Some special ones that can¡­¡± Before Su Jin¡¯er could finish speaking, Mo Xiao took out the Experience Spirit Fruit. [Experience Spirit Fruit: An extremely rare Spirit Fruit that, when consumed, increases the current level¡¯s experience by 1%, with no level restriction. Consumption limit: 0/10.] ¡°Ah, this¡­ why do you even have such a thing?¡± The corners of Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s mouth twitched twice. She even suspected that this Mo Xiao in front of her had a treasure bag with everything inside. ¡°I can only consume 10 of these, and I¡¯m not at a very high level right now, so I don¡¯t n to use them,¡± Mo Xiao said quietly. Su Jin¡¯er scratched her head. ¡°You¡¯re right; it¡¯s a good idea not to use them now. But leveling up is indeed too difficult for you. Oh, I just remembered something!¡± At this moment, Su Jin¡¯er suddenly pped her hands and said, ¡°I suddenly remembered a ce!¡± ¡°?¡± Mo Xiao raised his head in confusion and nced at Su Jin¡¯er. ¡°Where?¡± ¡°The Tianyuan Secret Realm!¡± Su Jin¡¯er repeated, her excitement undiminished. ¡°I can only consume 10 of these, and I¡¯m not at a very high level right now, so I don¡¯t n to use them,¡± Mo Xiao said quietly. Su Jin¡¯er scratched her head. ¡°You¡¯re right; it¡¯s a good idea not to use them now. But leveling up is indeed too difficult for you.

Chapter 193 Special Professional Advancement Tower, Tank? Guardian? 193 Special Professional Advancement Tower, Tank? Guardian? "A secret realm that gives experience as a percentage¡­ But isn''t it difficult to get into a ce like that?" Hearing Su Jin''er''s words, Mo Xiao asked further. Su Jin''er nodded with certainty and said, "Yes, the Tianyuan Secret Realm is in the center of the Tianyuan Battlefield, and 70% of the Tianyuan Battlefield''s territory is upied by monsters. There''s even a Demon King guarding the center." "Demon King¡­" Hearing this, Mo Xiao''s eyes flickered slightly, "Then, Senior Sister, how did you get in?" Upon hearing Mo Xiao''s question, Su Jin''er smiled awkwardly and said, "My situation is rather special. I used a Random Teleportation Scroll when I was escaping and happened to be teleported to the entrance of the Tianyuan Secret Realm." "Actually, at first, I didn''t know that it was a secret realm, but there was the Demon King''s monster army around. I entered without thinking, so I knew this." Mo Xiao thought for a moment and asked curiously, "But masters should know about this kind of secret realm, right? Since they can level up ording to percentages, why don''t they go to that ce to level up? Instead of leveling up?" When Mo Xiao said this, Su Jin''er was also stunned. She only knew that the few wargods had been in the Tianyuan Battlefield almost all the time. He rarely had the time to specially level up. She subconsciously took it for granted that they did not have time to level up. He really hadn''t thought about why the wargods didn''t go leveling. "I''m really not sure about that¡­" Su Jin''er shook her head and said, "But I think I heard them say it once. Their levels seem to be stuck by something and they can''t continue to level up." Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. "Stuck? Do you also need to change your profession?" "I don''t know. It doesn''t feel like it. After all, the highest ss Change in the Promotion Tower is Level 90, Rank 4. I''ve never heard of a Rank 5. Moreover, they''re all stuck at Level 100," Su Jin''er said after giving it some thought. When Mo Xiao heard this, he thought for a moment. He felt that something was wrong, but he did not know what was wrong. In the end, he didn''t say anything else. "Alright, don''t think too much about it. This isn''t something we should consider now. Let''s go to the Profession Change Tower first," Su Jin''er said when she saw Mo Xiao''s expression. Mo Xiao nodded and did not say anything else. He continued to follow Su Jin''er forward. As they walked forward, the originally quiet area gradually became noisy. It was not that there were more monsters, but more people. As the two of them moved forward, the originally deserted area From time to time, there would be professional teams of three to five people. It seemed that their goal was the ss Advancement Tower. "These¡­ are all going to the ss Advancement Tower?" Mo Xiao looked at the scattered human teams in front of him in surprise and asked with a strange expression. Su Jin''er was used to it and nodded. "Yes, after all, why is there only one ss Advancement Tower in the Dragon Kingdom? If it weren''t for the fact that the monster areas around the ss Advancement Tower can''t bepletely eliminated, we would definitely build a base city here." "Then why don''t we just set up a teleportation array? Isn''t that very convenient?" Mo Xiao asked doubtfully. "There''s a very strange characteristic near the ss Advancement Tower, so there''s no way to set up an array here. Many array masters have tried it here. Even Master can''t set up an array here," Su Jin''er shrugged and answered truthfully. "Is it that ufortable?" Mo Xiao frowned when he heard this. Although he didn''t care about these monsters, it was a waste of time to walk all the way. "It''s alright. The monsters here are not too powerful. Those who have the ability to reach the second transition can find teammates to change their professions together, so no one will be in a difficult position because of this," Su Jin''er said very calmly, "Alright, let''s go quickly. We''re almost there." "Yes¡­" Mo Xiao nodded and didn''t say anything else. He continued to advance towards the Professional Advancement Tower. As the two of them moved forward, they quickly arrived at a small gathering ce that was like a shelter. Unlike the base city, many existences in special uniforms could be seen here. Behind this group of people, there was a huge creature that shone with a metallic luster. "This is¡­ a tank?!" Seeing this technologically-advanced behemoth, Mo Xiao''s eyes widened. Unlike the tanks on Earth in Mo Xiao''s memory, this tank was bright silver in color and had two huge barrels. There seemed to be manyplicated patterns on the cannon barrel, as if they were arrays. What shocked Mo Xiao even more was that this tank actually had a health bar, as if it was a creature. "Hehe, I knew you would have such a reaction." Su Jin''er chuckled when she saw Mo Xiao''s expression. Mo Xiao involuntarily gulped and asked, "Is this really a tank?" "Sort of, but it''s a little different from a tank. The materials it uses are all special metals obtained after the game descended. Then, it''s a special equipment forged together with cksmiths and human technology," Su Jin''er said excitedly, "It''s called Guardian. Not only is its defenseparable to a level 80 tank, but when it attacks, its damage is alsoparable to a level 70 fire-element mage!" "It''s just that the consumption is a little high." Su Jin''er exined in detail, "Every shot consumes some special materials, and it will produce different effects ording to the materials." "What we use the most now are blue-quality fire crystals, but they''re rarely fired. They''re usually used to transport professionals to special ces or to explore ces that have never been explored." Listening to Su Jin''er''s exnation, Mo Xiao nodded slightly and said, "I thought technology had stopped developing¡­ I didn''t expect such a significant transformation¡­" "Of course not! Don''t underestimate the abilities of our Dragon Country scientists!" Su Jiner said proudly. "I heard from Master that as long as we can find a capable formation master and inscribe a special formation, this tank can have enough power to apany humans into battle for real!" "Power? It doesn''t have power now?" Mo Xiao asked curiously. "Now¡­ we''re still using our previous power, electricity, and petroleum energy," Su Jin''er replied honestly."After the arrival of the game, petroleum couldn''t be extracted, so most of it relies on electricity. It consumes 10 Thunder Mages per 100 kilometers." Mo Xiao twitched his lips in response to Su Jin''er''s joking tone. "What kind of formation does it need to move?" "I don''t know, but I can guess that it''s a special formation that converts magic power into kic energy. As far as I know, this formation hasn''t been found yet, so we''ll have to find another way for now," Su Jin''er exined. Chapter 194 Trial Canyon? 194 Trial Canyon? "Is it a special formation?" Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully when he heard this. When it came to formations, Mo Xiao had the skill for it. However, he hadn''t learned about specific formations. Being able to set up formations without knowledge of actual formations made this skill practically useless. He could only hope to learn more about formations in the future. "How about it? Shall we walk there ourselves or take a ride?" Su Jin''er asked, pointing to the huge tank beside her and smiling. "If you''re afraid, you can use wanting to experience the tank''s capabilities as an excuse. I won''t say anything." Listening to Su Jin''er, Mo Xiao couldn''t help but roll his eyes at her. "Low-level provocation. "I was nning to go there myself anyway," he said without looking back. He walked straight through the bustling crowd and headed for the dark forest path. Watching Mo Xiao''s actions, Su Jin''er looked at the path Mo Xiao took and subconsciously raised her eyebrows. Just like that, she followed behind Mo Xiao and walked into the forest path in front of her. [You have arrived at the special map, Trial Canyon!] Seeing this name, Mo Xiao was also stunned. Trial Canyon? And it was a special map? Mo Xiao looked at the forest path in front of him in confusion. He was filled with curiosity. After all, Su Jin''er had said that this path was especially difficult. Even the first time she came, she almost lost her life here. Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled¡­ A monkey-like monster instantly appeared in front of Mo Xiao. Looking at the monkey in front of him, Mo Xiao licked his lips and instantly activated his Illusion Breaking Technique. [Irond Crazy Monkey¡ªElite] Level: LV40 HP: 7,500/7,500 Strength: 1,000 Agility: 800 Intelligence: 500 Endurance: 1,200 Physique: 750 Skills: Staff Smash: Swings a long staff to deliver a powerful attack on the target, causing damage and a chance to stun the target. Monkey Charge: Swiftly charges towards the target, delivering a heavy blow that deals high damage to a single target. Spirit Monkey Whirlwind Kick: Rapidly spins tounch a series of continuous kicks, causing area damage to nearby yers. Rock Shield: Releases the Monkey Mountain energy to form a sturdy rock shield, increasing physical and magical defense by a certain percentage and reducing damage taken. Lightning Movement Technique: Teleports instantly to the target''s surroundings and releases a lightning shockwave, causing area damage to nearby targets and paralyzing them. Looking at the attributes of the monkey in front of him, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. A level 40 monster with a strength value of 1,000 strength points. It was clearly a formidable creature with both defense and strength. But for Mo Xiao, whether it was this strength value or defense and HP, it was simply not enough. Looking at the monkey in front of him, grinning and baring its teeth, Mo Xiao yawned lightly, and then his Thousand Mechanism Umbre transformed into a cannon. -20,000! In an instant, a high amount of damage appeared on the Irond Crazy Monkey Elite. Before the Irond Crazy Monkey could even react, it turned into a cloud of dust. [You have killed the Irond Crazy Monkey Elite (LV40) and gained 0 experience points. You have reached Level 30. Please proceed with your ss change!] "I thought the monsters here would give me more experience. I guess I was expecting too much," Mo Xiao said, looking somewhat helpless at the system message that popped up. "Senior sister, is this what you call strong? It was just like this, gone in an instant." Chapter 195 - 195: Garbled Text? 195 Garbled Text? "Senior Sister, is this what you mean by very strong? It seems to be just like this. It disappeared in an instant." Mo Xiao swung the Thousand Mechanism Umbre in his hand, clearly not taking this area seriously at all. Upon hearing this, Su Jin''er raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I suggest that you restrain yourself a little at the beginning. Otherwise, you''ll regret it." Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned. Although he did not know what Su Jin''er meant, he felt a slight sense of unease in his heart. Mo Xiao nced at Su Jin''er and walked forward again. However, before he could take two steps, the surrounding ground shook violently. In no time, the previous jungle disappearedpletely, reced by a narrow canyon. The surroundings were extremely barren, with no signs of life. "Hmm? Change of environment? What''s going on?" Mo Xiao looked puzzled at the dramatically changing surroundings. But when he turned around, he found that Su Jin''er had disappeared without a trace. "Senior Sister?" Seeing this, Mo Xiao frowned. He quickly opened the map. The two of them were in a team. Under normal circumstances, he could see the location of his teammates through the map. However, when Mo Xiao opened the map, it only showed a long and narrow passageway. He couldn''t see where Su Jin''er was at all. Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, a fragmented sound suddenly sounded not far away. Mo Xiao quickly turned his head. Countless yellow sand was rapidly gathering not far away. Before long, the yellow sand gathered into a five-meter-tall giant under Mo Xiao''s surprised gaze. "Yellow Sand Giant?" Looking at the gradually appearing giant, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise and directly released the Illusion Breaking Technique at the yellow sand giant. Yellow Sand Giant ¡¤ Elite Boss Level: LV60 HP: 15,000/15,000 Strength: 2,000 Agility: 600 Intelligence: 400 Endurance: 2,500 Skills: Sandstone Impact: Launches a powerful punch toward the target, dealing high damage to a single target and has a chance to stun the target. Yellow Sandstorm: Triggers a severe sandstorm, causing continuous damage to all yers within range and reducing their uracy. Stone Shield: Releases the power of the earth element in the body to form a solid stone shield, increases a certain percentage of physical and magic resistance, and reduces damage taken. Sand Transformation: Enters a sand transformation state, ignoring all physical attacks! Sand Devour: Releases a massive vortex, sucking nearby yers into it and causing continuous damage. "A level 60 boss?" Mo Xiao was also stunned. Wasn''t this level jumping too quickly? Wasn''t it just a level 40 elite monster? How did he suddenly be a level 60 boss? Thinking of this, Mo Xiao finally reacted. No wonder Su Jin''er told him not to show his strongest ability directly just now. ording to this situation, clearly, the monsters here would adjust ording to the strength of the person who entered. Previously, his cannon attack was a physical attack, and the damage was ridiculously high. Therefore, a boss that was immune to physical attacks was created here. If anyone else encountered such a situation, they would definitely adjust theirbat method and deal with the boss in front of them in a rtively gentle manner. This was to prevent the next boss from being too powerful. However, Mo Xiao became excited. "Will the difficulty of the monsters be adjusted ording to the previous performance?" Mo Xiao licked his lips slightly. "I want to see how strong the monsters in this map can be adjusted~" As Mo Xiao spoke, the Thousand Mechanism Umbre in his hands changed at the same time, directly transforming into two staffs. "Dragon Language, Dragon Wings!" "Dragon Language: Soul Extinguishing ck me!" With a low shout from Mo Xiao, A huge dragon made of ck mes instantly whistled out from in front of Mo Xiao. It urately hit the yellow sand giant in front of him. [The power of a thousand catties has been triggered!] -9,000,000! Immediately, a terrifying seven-digit damage appeared on the yellow sand giant''s body. The yellow sand giant did not even have the chance to turn into sand before it copsed and disappeared. [You have killed the Yellow Sand Giant, Elite Boss, and gained 0 experience points. You have reached Level 30. Please proceed with your ss change!] "Ah, what a pity. If I had killed a level 60 boss normally, I would have gained a lot of experience¡­" Mo Xiao sighed regretfully. Seven-digit damage value. This terrifying damage, let alone a level 30 professional, even if Yan Zhantian came, it was hard to say if he could 100% win. "Come, let me see how powerful a monster you can transform into~" Mo Xiao looked excitedly at the space in front of him. In the next moment, the surrounding space shook again. However, this time, it did not change as quickly as before. Instead, countless cracks appeared. Then, countless mosaic-like chaotic patterns filled the entire space. It was as if the system had made a mistake. "What the hell? Did the system make a mistake?" Looking at these mosaics, his expression was a little strange. Could it be that his attack power was too strong? Soon, a tinum key appeared in Mo Xiao''s hand. 15:55 Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, rays of seven-colored light slowly probed in from the crack. Then, these cracks and mosaics quickly disappeared. Not long after, a seven-colored ball of light slowly appeared in Mo Xiao''s vision. Immediately, Mo Xiao felt as if his entire body had been seen through. An extremely ufortable feeling surged in Mo Xiao''s heart. Just as he was about to defend himself, the seven-colored ball of light disappeared and was reced by a tinum door. The surrounding environment turned into a pitch-ck passageway. At the end of the passage was the tinum door. "What¡­ is going on?" Looking at the door, Mo Xiao took a few steps forward curiously. [tinum Door: A peculiar door that seems to require a special key.] "tinum Door?" He raised his eyebrows in confusion. As if he had thought of something, he quickly rummaged through his backpack. Soon, a tinum key appeared in Mo Xiao''s hand. [tinum Key: It seems to be able to open a certain door.] Looking at the key in his hand, Mo Xiao raised his hand in confusion and stabbed the key into the keyhole of the door in front of him. In an instant, with a crack, the door in front of him was instantly opened. The next moment, the door slowly opened. A shimmering passageway appeared behind the door. He did not know where this passageway led to. "A passageway? Could it be another hidden map?" Mo Xiao muttered curiously. After thinking for a while, Mo Xiao didn''t say anything else and directly stepped into the passage. Instantly, he disappeared along with the door. Chapter 196 - 196: Unknown Space 196 Unknown Space As Mo Xiao stepped through the tinum door, the entire trial space immediately distorted, following Mo Xiao''s footsteps as they entered the gate. In an instant, the entire Trial Canyon turned dark. It took a while before it returned to its original state. Meanwhile, outside the trial canyon, Su Jiner''s expression became grave as she looked back at the canyon. She looked extremely worried. "How could this happen? Why did Junior Brother disappear? It shouldn''t be¡­" Su Jiner frantically searched on the map. But she couldn''t see Mo Xiao''s figure at all. If it weren''t for the team system still disying Mo Xiao''s name, Su Jin''er would have thought that Mo Xiao had died inside. "What''s going on? Could there be a special space inside this trial canyon?" Su Jiner couldn''t figure it out at the moment and could only wait in ce. If Mo Xiao came out and couldn''t find her, it would be a problem. ¡­ Meanwhile, in an incredibly dark space, a tinum door slowly appeared. Apanied by the sound of unlocking, the door opened, and Mo Xiao slowly walked out. [You have arrived at an unknown map. Please proceed with caution.] "Unknown map?" Looking at the information that popped up in front of him, Mo Xiao frowned slightly. Although he didn''t sense any danger, this unknown factor made Mo Xiao vignt. As he walked out of the tinum door, the surrounding environment seemed to have sensed it and immediately rippled like waves. At the same time, the tinum door closed rapidly, not giving Mo Xiao a chance to react, and it sank into the ground. Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao''s pupils suddenly contracted. Almost instantly, as if by reflex, Mo Xiao quickly activated the Tears of Time. Suddenly, everything around him came to a halt. "Reverse the Universe!" In an instant, with the activation of the Time Reversal, the door that had been sinking rapidly ignored the system''s rules. It began to rise under the influence of the Tears of Time. Just as the door was about to rise back to the ground, a crisp snap of fingers suddenly sounded. Instantly, the light representing the Tears of Time disappeared. The slowly rising tinum door sank into the ground at an even faster speed. "The reversal of the universe has been forcefully ended? That''s impossible!" Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao was also shocked. Before he could react, a voice identical to his echoed in the entire space. "Sorry, I was negligent. I didn''t expect you to be the new Sage of Time." Hearing this voice, Mo Xiao suddenly turned around. He saw a colorful light slowly rising from the ground, and then it fluctuated rapidly. In no time, it turned into a human figure and gradually solidified, bing a real person. And this person looked exactly like himself. Seeing this identical figure in front of him, Mo Xiao immediately cast an Illusion Breaking Technique. [No target detected. Illusion Breaking Technique has failed.] "No target?" Mo Xiao frowned again. This guy was clearly right in front of him. Seeing Mo Xiao''s actions, the man slowly smiled. "Although the Illusion Breaking Technique can detect all information, it can''t detect mine. After all, I''m not an individual." Hearing these strange words, Mo Xiao asked with a serious expression, "Who are you?" As he spoke, he held both Thousand Mechanism Umbres in his hands at the same time, ready to act if the other side made any move. Seeing Mo Xiao''s actions, the man''s smile became even brighter. "Don''t be afraid, Sage of Time. I have no intention of hurting you, and I can''t hurt you, at least not now. "Of course, you can''t hurt me either." As he spoke, the man gently flicked his finger, and the Thousand Mechanism Umbre in Mo Xiao''s hand immediately disappeared and returned to his backpack. "!!!" Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao was also shocked. Just as he was about to open his backpack and re-equip, a system notification appeared directly in front of Mo Xiao. [The inventory cannot be opened in the current space!] "I can''t open my backpack?!" Mo Xiao was also shocked when he saw this. He quickly raised his hand and prepared to release his skill. [Ding, the rules of space have changed. No skills can be used in the current space!] "What?!!" Mo Xiao looked at the information in front of him in disbelief. He could not open his backpack, had no equipment, and could not use his skills. Seeing Mo Xiao''s shocked expression, the man smiled again. "I banned these things just to have a good chat with you." As the person spoke, he gently raised his right hand. Immediately, Mo Xiao felt everything around him begin to flow rapidly, as if he was being pulled over. And behind him, there was a luxurious sofa. But the next moment, everything returned to normal. The originally pitch-ck environment had turned into a sealed room. And behind him, there was a luxurious sofa. "Sage of Time, please have a seat. We can chat for a while now," the person said, raising his hand. Mo Xiao''s body suddenly softened, and he sat directly on the sofa. Watching everything that was happening, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. It seemed that this person could control everything about him. Mo Xiao took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "Who are you? What do you want from me?" "To say who I am¡­ In the words of your people from the Blue Star, I am the main system of this game," the main system said lightly, "Or, in the words of the people in this world, I am the source of the world''sws." "You''re the system?!" Hearing this, Mo Xiao was dumbfounded again. The system? A special existence that controls the entire world! Why did ite to talk to me? "Actually, there''s nothing special about it. Your abilities caused the program of the trial canyon to crash, so I came to take a look," the main system said truthfully. "I originally wanted topensate you with the reward for that key." "But I didn''t expect you to be the Sage of Time of this generation, so I thought I''d have a chat with you." "What reward?" Mo Xiao asked instinctively when he heard about the reward. The main system raised an eyebrow and said, "That''s not important. I can adjust the reward anytime I want, so please be patient and chat with me." "¡­" Mo Xiao was silent for a moment before saying, "I''m not the Sage of Time. I just used the Sage of Time''s equipment thanks to the special abilities of my profession." "The setting for the Tears of the Sage is that the first person to use it bes the Sage with the corresponding ability, until the user''s death." Chapter 197 - 197: The Origin of the World? Chapter 197: The Origin of the World? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°The setup of the Tears of the Sage is that the first person to use it bes the Sage with corresponding abilities, until the user¡¯s death,¡± the main system exined. ¡°If the Sage doesn¡¯t die, even if someone more suitablees along, they can¡¯t use the Tears of the Sage. ¡°So, you are the Sage of this generation.¡± Mo Xiao was slightly taken aback by this statement, then nodded slightly. ¡°So, what¡¯s special about the Sage of Time? Is it worth the main system¡¯s personal appearance?¡± ¡°The Sage¡¯s Tear contains a portion of the power of the world¡¯s origin, is that not special enough?¡± the main system replied, after some thought. ¡°In your words, the Sage¡¯s Tear is a special equipment that can interfere with the system.¡± With this statement, Mo Xiao was once again stunned. Interfere with the system? Wouldn¡¯t that be simr to being a GM? Change the rules of the game?Modify the game data? ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not as exaggerated as you think. It can¡¯t change the rules or modify data, but it can easily alter map changes and the map environment,¡± the main system said casually, just like when you prevented the tinum door from sinking into the ground earlier, that was the ability to forcefully modify.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully. ¡°So, what do you want from me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m nning to give you a task,¡± the main system said and raised its finger again. [Ding, a task rted to the World¡¯s Origin has been assigned to you. Do you ept? ept/Agree] ¡°You¡­ aren¡¯t giving me any chance to refuse, are you?¡± Mo Xiao said, looking at the choice panel in front of him with a sigh. The main system chuckled, ¡°Of course not. It¡¯s not every day 1e across someone who can temporarily summon me. 1 naturally want to seize this opportunity.¡± ¡°ept,¡± Mo Xiao said, giving the system a nce and directly epting the task. [Task: Save the World¡¯s Origin epted! Difficulty unknown! Rewards unknown! Punishment: unknown!] ¡°Save?¡± Seeing this information, Mo Xiao was puzzled and looked at the system. Clearly, he had some doubts about this so-called ¡°saving.¡± The main system nodded slightly. ¡°Yes, I have only temporarily emerged due to the program crashing caused by your exceeding abilities. In fact, I am sealed.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the main system, how can you be sealed?¡± Mo Xiao clearly found it hard to believe what he was saying. ¡°Why not? There are more powerful entities in this world that used my power to seal me,¡± the main system said with a hint of resentment. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao thought for a moment, then looked at the Tears of Time on his chest and said, ¡°You¡­ were sealed by the Tears of the Sage?¡± ¡°It seems that the human race is quite cleverpared to other races,¡± the main system said with satisfaction. ¡°Yes, the Demon race used my power as the world¡¯s origin to seal me. To break free, I can only rely on the same power.¡± ¡°ording to your exnation, you would need seven Tears of the Sage, right? 1 only have one, so I can¡¯t help you,¡± Mo Xiao said directly without hesitation. ¡°No, you can,¡± the main system said, raising its hand again, and a rainbow-colored light immediately flowed into the Tears of the Sage on Mo Xiao¡¯s chest. Mo Xiao suddenly noticed six new points of light on his map. ¡°Are these the coordinates of the other Tears of the Sage?¡± ¡°Yes, your profession is very unique. You¡¯re a solo yer, and you can directly use these Sage¡¯s Tears. So, you don¡¯t need to find their users; you can use them yourself. Just bring these items here, and you can release me,¡± the main system exined. Mo Xiao nced at the coordinates on the map and said, ¡°These coordinates seem quite distant¡­¡± ¡°Time doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ve waited for thousands of years. It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± the main system said calmly. ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xiao looked at the main system and said coldly, ¡°Why should I help you?¡± ¡°Your human race is currently in crisis. Don¡¯t you want topletely resolve the human race¡¯s crisis?¡± the main system asked. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to save your own race?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you want to be a hero of the human race?!¡± Listening to these almost persuasive words, Mo Xiao responded coldly, ¡°Sorry, but I really don¡¯t want to.¡± The main system was momentarily stunned. This doesn¡¯t match the script at all! Aren¡¯t humans supposed to care about these things? ¡°I only care about myself. If 1 can save you, please give me enough benefits. The human race has nothing to do with me,¡± Mo Xiao said coldly. The main system looked at Mo Xiao and couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Interesting human. How about this, once you help me escape, I¡¯llpletely hand over control of this world to you. How does that sound?¡± ¡°Control?¡± ¡°Yes, the ability to determine all the rules of the world, even the power to erase all life in this world with just a thought,¡± the main system grinned. If anyone else heard this, they would definitely be excited, but after Mo Xiao heard it, these words directly came out of his mouth: ¡°I don¡¯t believe you.¡± The main system:¡±¡­¡± ¡°Suddenly, I feel like I¡¯ve picked the wrong person. Why are you so unyielding and uninterested?¡± the main system said helplessly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you believe me?¡± ¡°If you give me the world, won¡¯t you die?¡± Mo Xiao said lightly. ¡°I am the world¡¯s origin; I originally had no consciousness. 1 was only forcibly conceived in order to survive. Handing over control to you won¡¯t affect me in anyway,¡± the main system exined. ¡°1 am currently sealed, and I can¡¯t leave this ce or grow. The power that should have belonged to me has scattered. 1 naturally want to break free.¡± Mo Xiao remained skeptical and pondered for a while before reluctantly nodding. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll reluctantly believe you.¡± The main system saw Mo Xiao nod and let out a sigh of relief. ¡°That¡¯s good. I¡¯m sealed now, so 1 can¡¯t offer you much help. Let me give you a treasure chest.¡± With that, countless colorful lights swiftly gathered in front of Mo Xiao, forming a very peculiar rainbow-colored treasure chest. [Rainbow Treasure Chest: The highest-level treasure chest. No one knows what it will contain when opened!] ¡°This is the most special treasure chest. When opening it, just think of what you want most, and if it¡¯s possible¡­¡± With that, countless colorful lights swiftly gathered in front of Mo Xiao, forming a very peculiar rainbow-colored treasure chest. [Rainbow Treasure Chest: The highest-level treasure chest. No one knows what it will contain when opened!] ¡°This is the most special treasure chest.. When opening it, just think of what you want most, and if it¡¯s possible¡­¡± Chapter 198 - 198: Ultimate Talent Sublimation Scroll Chapter 198: Ultimate Talent Sublimation Scroll Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios At the same time, in front of the entrance of the Professional Advancement Tower, Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s face was full of anxiety. She had been waiting here for several hours, but there was still no sign of Mo Xiao. Just as she was about to ask someone else for help, a seven-colored light suddenly lit up in front of her. And in the next moment, Mo Xiao appeared slowly from within the seven-colored light, right in front of Su Jin¡¯er. ¡°Junior Brother!¡± Seeing Mo Xiao suddenly appear, Su Jin¡¯er hurriedly rushed over. Looking at Su Jin¡¯er rushing towards him, Mo Xiao was slightly stunned and quickly dodged Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s actions. ¡°Why are you so excited?¡± Mo Xiao frowned and said. ¡°Can I not be excited? I was so worried about you!¡± Su Jiner said fiercely, ¡°Where did you run off to? It¡¯s been hours! Didn¡¯t you think to send me a message?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao was first stunned and quickly checked the time. Sure enough, it had been four hours since he disappeared just now. ¡°What happened? Why did it take so long? I felt like it had only been a dozen minutes.¡± Mo Xiao furrowed his brow in confusion. ¡°Huh? You didn¡¯t really enter any special space, did you?¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Su Jin¡¯er asked curiously. Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin¡¯er and did not know what she was thinking. Then, he nodded slightly and said, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Is there really a special map? Did you get anything good?¡± Hearing this, Su Jiner suddenly became excited and asked eagerly. Seeing that Su Jin¡¯er did not ask for details, Mo Xiao subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. Then, a seven-colored light flew out of Mo Xiao¡¯s hand andnded in front of the two of them. ¡°A treasure chest?¡± Seeing the suddenly appearing treasure chest, Su Jin¡¯er quickly approached. ¡°Wow! The highest-level rainbow treasure chest! This is amazing!¡± ¡°The rainbow treasure chest is of the highest level?¡± Mo Xiao asked in confusion. Su Jin¡¯er nodded repeatedly. ¡°Yes! Rainbow-level treasure chests are something I¡¯ve only seen in descriptions; I¡¯ve never seen one in real life! ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to actually get one,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said excitedly, then cast a detection spell on the treasure chest. [Rainbow Treasure Chest: The highest-level treasure chest. No one knows what it contains when opened!] ¡°Tsk, this description is really vague, it doesn¡¯t say anything.¡± Su Jiner clicked her tongue. ¡°Come on, you should open the chest first. If you get something good, it will help with your uing profession change task.¡± Listening to Su Jiner¡¯s words, Mo Xiao nodded and walked slowly to the treasure chest, then ced his hand on it. [Ding, this item has reached the highest level and cannot be further enhanced.] ¡°It seems to be the highest-level treasure chest indeed.¡± Mo Xiao nodded slightly. At the same time, he ced his palm on the treasure chest and thought about what he needed.At the same time, he ced his hand directly on the treasure chest and thought about what he needed. ording to what the World Origin had said earlier, the treasure chest would provide something ording to his needs¡­ Suddenly, Mo Xiao seemed to think of something, and he said, ¡°Give me something that canpletely solve my experience leveling problem¡­¡± As Mo Xiao¡¯s thoughts shed, the treasure chest in front of him suddenly emitted a white light. [Ding, activation failed!] The activation failed? Seeing this message, Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment. But soon, he realized why. The main system had said that if something he wanted didn¡¯t exist in this world, it wouldn¡¯t appear directly. And it seemed to be the case now. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why aren¡¯t you opening it?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked in confusion when she saw this. When Mo Xiao heard this, he nced at Su Jin¡¯er and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll open it now.¡± With that, Mo Xiao slowly closed his eyes. ¡°Give me an item that can enhance a specific talent.¡± As Mo Xiao¡¯s words fell, the treasure chest in front of him flickered with light again. And in the next moment, an item resembling a scroll appeared directly in front of Mo Xiao. [Congrattions on obtaining the Talent Sublimation Scroll!] [Talent Sublimation Scroll: Can enhance a specific talent to the highest level!] Seeing this, Mo Xiao was also delighted and hurriedly took the scroll. It rubbed against him again. [You rubbed the Talent Sublimation Scroll! The Talent Sublimation Scroll has be the Ultimate Talent Sublimation Scroll!] [Ultimate Talent Sublimation Scroll: Can select a talent to sublimate and raise it to the highest level! ] ¡°I can¡¯t believe it! A Talent Sublimation Scroll!¡± Su Jin¡¯er, who was standing beside him, was almost about to exim. Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin¡¯er, but didn¡¯t respond to her, as he was extremely excited right now. Previously, he had also obtained something to upgrade his talent. But it was a random upgrade, and he had luckily obtained something useful. This time, however, he had the power to choose. Naturally, he wanted to upgrade his most powerful talent! Seeing Mo Xiao¡¯s expression, Su Jin¡¯er quickly asked, ¡°Junior Brother, which talent do you want to enhance?¡± Mo Xiao didn¡¯t say anything in response; he simply used the scroll in his hand. [Ding, please specify the talent you want to enhance..] Chapter 199 - 199: Upgrading by Rubbing Chapter 199 - 199: Upgrading by Rubbing Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [Ding, please specify the talent you want to enhance.] ¡°I¡¯ll try to improve my Unique Talent,¡± Mo Xiao said with a trembling voice. This talent was very special, and Mo Xiao was actually quite worried that it couldn¡¯t be upgraded. As Mo Xiao specified, the scroll in his hand immediately turned into colorful light beams that crazily poured into Mo Xiao¡¯s body. [Congrattions! I¡¯ve sessfully upgraded my Unique Talent!]
    [I Rub: Only Talent, owner Mo Xiao, this is an extremely powerful talent! Items rubbed by you can be upgraded! There is a chance to break the level limit and gain a significant attribute bonus! When you bump a living being, you can choose the effect yourself!] Looking at the information in front of him, Mo Xiao was also stunned. Item sublimation Mo Xiao can understand, Mo Xiao could also understand breaking through the upper limit of his level. Arge number of attribute bonuses. In other words, any equipment that he touched in the future would be a unique divine artifact. However, Mo Xiao could not understand thetter part of the introduction. What did it mean that when the target was a living being, he could choose the effect on his own? Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, Su Jin¡¯er also leaned over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Junior Brother? Could it be that the talent upgrade failed?¡± Mo Xiao shook his head. ¡°No, it¡¯s just that I don¡¯t quite understand his introduction.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand?¡± When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, she looked at Mo Xiao in confusion and said, ¡°Then can¡¯t you just give it a try?¡± ¡°Your sublimation talent should be that, right? Just give it a try.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao also reacted, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble Senior Sister.¡± ¡°Are you going to rub against me?¡± When Su Jin¡¯er heard this, sheughed strangely again and said, ¡°You have to be gentler-¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, the corners of Mo Xiao¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. He could not be bothered with Su Jin¡¯er and ced his hand on her shoulder. [You rubbed against Su Jin¡¯er. Please make your choice!] O O o o Strengthen? Weaken?! There was actually an additional buff?! Moreover, the duplication of talents and skills could also be chosen. There was even a certain chance of upgrading talents and skills! ¡°But what does it mean that the current level of dissolution can¡¯t be replicated?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, countless halos suddenly appeared on Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s body. The color changes from light to dark, indicating the degree of contact. [For every replication of skills and talents, the level of contact required will increase.] He was stunned for a moment. It seemed that if he wanted to copy Su Jiner¡¯s talent or skills now, he would have to hug her¡­ Thinking of this, Mo Xiao suddenly blushed and quickly shook his head. Then he took a deep breath and said, ¡°Enhance!¡± [Ding, you gently rubbed against Su Jin¡¯er. Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s magic power has been strengthened!] Su Jiner, who was beside him, had a sudden change in her expression. ¡°Huh? My magical power suddenly increased by 500 points¡­ ¡°This rub of yours¡­ Can it still increase other people¡¯s attributes?! These 500 points canst for 10 minutes! That¡¯s too powerful!¡± Su Jin¡¯er said excitedly when she saw this. Mo Xiao nodded slightly. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Is there any condition for this? Is the amount increased rted to your own attributes?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked curiously. When Mo Xiao heard this, he subconsciously turned his head and said, ¡°It has nothing to do with those things; it¡¯s only rted to the level of contact¡­¡± ¡°Contact level?¡± Hearing this brand new term, Su Jin¡¯er was also a little puzzled. Mo Xiao paused for a moment before telling her the reason. Chapter 200 - 200: Profession Change 200 Profession Change "By just hugging you, I can increase my attributes so much, so if I were to kiss you directly¡­" As soon as Su Jin''er said this, Mo Xiao''s face turned red, and he immediately distanced himself. "Don''t get carried away!" Mo Xiao said cautiously, as if he would take action if Su Jin''er got any closer. "Alright, alright, I was just joking. Is there a need to be so afraid?" Looking at Mo Xiao''s reaction, Su Jin''er grinned and said, "Do you really see me as some kind of ferocious beast?" Hearing this, Mo Xiao scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Seeing Mo Xiao''s reaction, Su Jin''er pursed her lips and said, "Alright, let''s cut the crap. You can go in first. Your profession change task is more important." Hearing this, Mo Xiao finally reacted and turned to look, only to see a very ordinary tower standing behind him. "This is the Professional Advancement Tower?" Looking at the tower in front of him, Mo Xiao was suddenly curious. He walked towards the Professional Advancement Tower. Behind Mo Xiao, Su Jin''er took out a small mirror from somewhere and muttered alone, "Am I that scary? I''m not ugly¡­ Why would Junior Brother have such a reaction¡­" "Senior Sister? Aren''t youing with me?" Just as Su Jin''er was feeling displeased, Mo Xiao''s voice called out again. "This is the Professional Advancement Tower. Only those who want to change their profession can enter. I haven''t reached my level yet, so I can''t enter. You can only go alone." Without thinking, Su Jin''er said directly, "It''s very safe here. It''s equivalent to a ce for issuing missions, so you can enter in peace." Mo Xiao nodded slightly and did not say anything else. He turned around and walked towards the Professional Advancement Tower. Soon, Mo Xiao arrived in front of the Professional Advancement Tower. Looking at the special door in front of him, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and ced his hand on the door, preparing to push it open. As soon as Mo Xiao ced his hand on it, a system prompt sounded in his ear. [Do you want to enter the special map, the Professional Advancement Tower?] "Enter." Without another word, Mo Xiao chose to enter. Immediately, a blue light shed and wrapped around Mo Xiao like a teleportation array. In an instant, Mo Xiao disappeared. Mo Xiao only felt his vision blur. When he came back to his senses, he had already appeared in the tower. It was a very narrow room, only about ten square meters in size. In the middle of the room, there was a strange array. "Is this the Professional Advancement Tower? Such a huge tower only has such a small space?" Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, the array formation in the center of the room suddenly lit up with a dazzling light. Then, an illusory figure appeared in the center of the array. [Wee to the Professional Advancement Tower.] The figure looked at Mo Xiao and said lightly. Compared to the group of illusory figures that Mo Xiao had seen, this one was the least emotional, like a robot. "Who are you?" Looking at the figure in front of him, Mo Xiao asked directly. [I am the Tower Spirit. Please extend your right hand,] the figure said calmly. Hearing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and directly extended his right hand to the figure. The moment Mo Xiao extended his right hand, the illusory figure instantly appeared in front of Mo Xiao, his palm directly touching Mo Xiao''s palm, and at the same time, his eyes rapidly flickered. [The Professional Advancement Spirit rubbed against you. Special Array Advancement Spiritual Array has been replicated!] [Professional Advancement Spirit Array: After activation, you can directly summon the Professional Advancement spirit.] "What is this?!" Mo Xiao''s pupils contracted as he saw the message. Directly summoning the Professional Advancement spirit? Can I now change professions outside of the Professional Advancement Tower? Can I bypass the need toe here? This is incredible! Can the Profession Advancement Spirit Array really be copied like this? If this Professional Advancement Spirit is really the same as the one in front of me, this is absolutely an epoch-making array! Just as Mo Xiao was getting excited, blue light appeared in the eyes of the Professional Advancement spirit in front of him. At the same time, a panel appeared in front of Mo Xiao. [Character Panel] Name: Mo Xiao HP: 24,600/24,600 Mana Points: 106,680/106,680 Level: LV30 (0/20,000,000) (Unable to gain experience until profession change) Profession: Solo yer Strength: 654 (+1,510) Agility: 385 (+900) Spirit: 269 (+4,420) Endurance: 265 (+800) Physique: 265 (+1,400) "Isn''t this my character panel?" [Profession Change Initiated! Profession Change Task Updated¡­] 15:58 Looking at this panel, Mo Xiao was also stunned. Mo Xiao was surprised to see his character panel disyed. [Sessfully obtained target information¡­] [Character: Mo Xiao. Profession: Solo yer. Level: Level 30.] [The requirements for the second transition have been met! Profession change initiated!] Hearing this, Mo Xiao hurriedly said, "Later! See if this can be used!" As he spoke, Mo Xiao quickly opened his backpack, and the next moment, a badge directly appeared in Mo Xiao''s hand. [Profession Change Emblem: When used, it can directlyplete a profession change task or increase the profession change difficulty while enhancing post-profession change attribute bonuses!" It was the Profession Change Emblem that Mo Xiao had obtained previously. Seeing this, the Professional Advancement spirit paused. [Profession Change Emblem detected. Do you want to use it?] "Use it. I want to increase the attribute bonus after changing professions!" After hearing Mo Xiao''s words, the Professional Advancement spirit paused again. [By doing this, your profession change task difficulty will significantly increase. Are you sure you want to use it?] [Note: Your profession is already a rare one, and the profession change task is already challenging. If you use the Profession Change Emblem, the difficulty will increase, and it will affect the difficulty of your next profession change.] "I understand. Use it directly," Mo Xiao insisted. [Received, Profession Change Emblem has been used!] As the Professional Advancement Spirit''s voice sounded, the emblem in Mp Xiao''s hand turned into a ray of light and surged into his body. [Profession Change Initiated! Profession Change Task Updated¡­] In the next moment, the Professional Advancement spirit suddenly opened its eyes, and a golden light shot out from its eyes to Mo Xiao''s forehead. [Received Profession Change Task!] [Profession Change Task 1: Go to the Fire Secret Realm and obtain the God Beast Jade!] Chapter 201 - 201: Goal: The Vermillion Bird Jade Chapter 201 - 201: Goal: The Vermillion Bird Jade Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios [Profession Change Task 1: Go to the Fire Secret Realm and obtain the God Beast Jade!] ¡°What Pl- Seeing this task, Mo Xiao¡¯s eyes instantly widened. Divine beast jade! That was a seven-colored equipment, even though he had a divine beast jade.
    But that was really all based on luck. Now, he had to specially search for a divine beast jade? Wasn¡¯t this level of difficulty¡­ a little too much for a second transition? Just as Mo Xiao was in shock, the Professional Advancement spirit in front of him had already retreated. Without giving Mo Xiao a chance to ask, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared. At the same time, a light appeared under Mo Xiao¡¯s feet, teleporting him out of the Professional Advancement Tower. ¡°They¡¯re sending me out like this?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the surrounding environment and looked at the tower in front of him in confusion. This was quite different from the Professional Advancement Tower he had imagined¡­ He thought that there would be something special about this ce if he specially built such a tower. In the end, it was just asking him to go in to receive a task. Isn¡¯t this too perfunctory? ¡°Junior Brother, how was it? Did you receive the task?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was still in a daze, Su Jin¡¯er quickly walked to Mo Xiao¡¯s side and asked. Looking at Su Jin¡¯er running over, Mo Xiao asked somewhat speechlessly, ¡°Senior Sister, is this so-called Professional Advancement Tower just for epting tasks?¡± ¡°More or less. You have toplete the task first, and then when you start the profession change, special effects will appear. Right now, you¡¯re just going in to ept a task.¡± Su Jin¡¯er exined. ¡°So, tell me, what task did you receive? Did you use the Profession Change Emblem?¡± When Mo Xiao heard this, he nced at Su Jin¡¯er and nodded slightly. ¡°I used it. The difficulty of the task is ridiculously high¡­¡± ¡°What task?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked, ¡°You¡¯re only at the second transition. No matter how difficult it is, it shouldn¡¯t be too exaggerated, right?¡± Hearing Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s words, Mo Xiao said somewhat helplessly, ¡°Senior Sister, have you ever heard of Divine Beast Jade?¡± ¡°Divine Beast Jade? What is that?¡± Clearly, this was the first time Su Jin¡¯er had heard of this equipment. Mo Xiao thought for a moment and then casually summoned an equipment panel in front of Su Jin¡¯er. [Dragonite Jade] Quality: Rainbow Strength +100 Dragonite¡¯s Aura: Increases attack and defense by 20% when you are at full health. Dragonite¡¯s Blessing: When you die, Dragonite¡¯s power will be triggered to resurrect you. Cooldown: 24.0 hours. Divine Beast Summoning: Summons the power of Dragonite, bestowing you with powerful earth attribute strength. At the moment of summoning, Dragonite¡¯s phantom will sweep all nearby hostile targets, dealing damage equal to the caster¡¯s strength * 1000. Cooldown: 240 hours. Auspicious Omen: Dragonite¡¯s most mysterious power. The bearer of the Dragonite Jade will always be enveloped in auspicious omens. Looking at the panel that suddenly appeared in front of her, Su Jin¡¯er also browsed through it seriously. However, after watching for a while, she eximed, ¡°What?! Rainbow-level equipment?! ¡°My goodness! It increases attack and defense by 20% and can even resurrect you? It can summon a divine beast too!¡± Su Jin¡¯er¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at the equipment panel in front of her. She could not believe that there was such a powerful equipment. ¡°Junior Brother, why haven¡¯t I seen you use this equipment before?¡± Su Jin¡¯er gulped and asked in disbelief. Mo Xiao nced at Su Jin¡¯er and said truthfully, ¡°What kind of monster do you think is worthy of me using this equipment?¡± Upon hearing his response, Su Jiner was somewhat speechless. Indeed, with Mo Xiao¡¯s currentbat abilities, there were hardly any monsters worthy of him using such equipment. ¡°But why are you asking about the God Beast Jade? Could it be that your task is rted to it?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked out of curiosity. Mo Xiao nodded slightly, ¡°Mm, my first task is to go to the Fire Secret Realm and find the Divine Beast Jade.¡± Su Jiner eximed, ¡°What?!¡± ¡°Based on the attributes and circumstances, the Divine Beast Jade in the Fire Secret Realm should be the Vermilion Bird¡¯s Jade,¡± Mo Xiao exined. ¡°The only problem is, I don¡¯t know where the Fire Secret Realm is located.¡± ¡°Why do you make it sound so easy¡­ This is a rainbow equipment. I even feel that this equipment should be the core of the Fire Secret Realm. Can you really take it away?¡± Su Jin¡¯er asked in surprise when she saw Mo Xiao¡¯s calm expression. Mo Xiao shrugged and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but we can¡¯t not go, right? But I feel that there¡¯s still a chance.¡± Hearing Mo Xiao¡¯s words, Su Jin¡¯er opened her mouth, then nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s true¡­ 1 don¡¯t know the exact coordinates of the Fire Secret Realm either. You can ask Yan Zhantian. He¡¯s the Fire God and knows the location of the Fire Secret Realm like the back of his hand. ¡°You have the Fire God¡¯s power from Yan Zhantian. Going to a realm like that shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you, and you might actually be able to retrieve it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what worries me the most. What I¡¯m afraid of is¡­ the second task might be to obtain another Divine Beast Jade. That would be truly interesting,¡± Mo Xiao said with a wry smile. ¡°You¡¯re kidding¡­ It can¡¯t be that exaggerated, can it?¡± Chapter 202 - 202: Fire Secret Realm? In the Water? 202 Fire Secret Realm? In the Water? Tianyuan Battlefield, Dragon Country''s war zone. Endless mes spiraled in the air like dragons. Yan Zhantian was standing on the dragon''s head with a serious expression, his gaze fixed not far away. Opposite the fire dragon was an existence that looked like a Murloc. He was standing quietly on a water dragon, looking at Yan Zhantian with disdain. If one observed carefully, they would discover that there was a glowing blue magatama attached to the back of the murloc''s hand. There was a faint word ''Water'' engraved on it. "Hehe, I didn''t expect monsters to use equipment¡­" Yan Zhantian smiled solemnly. "Tears of Water, it seems that the monsters really want tounch an all-out attack to destroy us humans this time. They even sent out the Water Sage who has the Tears of Water." Just as Yan Zhantian was preparing to fight a tough battle, a message suddenly shed in front of him. Mo Xiao: Master, do you know the coordinates of the Fire Secret Realm? "Mo Xiao? His task is to go to the Fire Secret Realm?" Seeing this news, Yan Zhantian raised his eyebrows. After thinking for a while, he directly sent the coordinates to Mo Xiao. "If there''s no problem with the Tianyuan Battlefield, I''ll follow him personally. What a pity~" As Yan Zhantian spoke, a huge machete appeared in his hand. "Hey! That murloc over there! Are you going to attack or not? If you don''t, I''ll kill my way over!" ¡­ At this moment, outside the Professional Advancement Tower, a string of numbers representing coordinates appeared directly in front of Mo Xiao. "Yan Zhantian is actually so straightforward this time. This is the Fire Secret Realm. If it were before, he would definitely mor to go with you," Su Jin Er said in disbelief as she looked at the coordinates in front of Mo Xiao. "Maybe there''s something more important," Mo Xiao said after some thought. Su Jin Er nodded and said, "That''s true. The most important thing now is to help you change your profession. Let''s go straight to the Fire Secret Realm. "But to be honest, isn''t this quest a little too difficult? You''re only at the second transition and you''re already looking for rainbow-colored equipment. Don''t tell me you have to collect the Tears of the Sage during the third transition?" Hearing this, the corners of Mo Xiao''s mouth twitched slightly. This was really not impossible¡­ Thinking of this, Mo Xiao gently shook his head. Thinking too much now would only add to his worries. ording to the numbers on the coordinates, the location of this Fire Secret Realm should be in the south of the Dragon Kingdom. But what made Mo Xiao the most helpless was the location of the Fire Secret Realm. The nearest base city was at least 300 kilometers away. He really didn''t know how Yan Zhantian had wandered so far away on his own. "This ce is really quite far. Let me see, the nearest base city to the Fire Secret Realm is¡­" Su Jin''er muttered as she rummaged through the map in front of her, "Sansha Base City?" Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao directly opened the map. After taking a look, his expression gradually became strange. "Sansha Base City, an ind city? "Could this Fire Secret Realm be in the sea?" Looking at the disy on the map, their expressions instantly became strange. This was the Fire Secret Realm. It was fine in the south. After all, it was close to the tropics and the temperature was high enough. But what was this in the sea? This was not the Water Secret Realm. "Let''s go over and take a look first. We''ll talk when we get there," Su Jin Er said. "Let''s go back to Yangcheng Base City first." Mo Xiao nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly froze and asked, "But how do we go back? Do we still have to walk through that Trial Canyon?" "You can say that you want to walk again, but this time, you don''t need to fight," Su Jin Er said very easily. "The Trial Canyon will only give you a trial when you pass through it for the first time. Or rather, when you reach the next Professional Advancement level, it will give you a new trial." "Understood." After saying that, Mo Xiao directly walked towards the Trial Canyon. Su Jin Er was already used to Mo Xiao''s attitude, so she quietly followed behind Mo Xiao and walked towards the Trial Canyon. As soon as Mo Xiao walked into the canyon, he felt his vision blur. When he came back to his senses, he directly crossed this trial canyon. He returned to the camp at the beginning. "Teleportation?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Mo Xiao was also a little puzzled, "Is there a teleportation array in this Trial Canyon?" "Something like that. This is a trial space to begin with, and teleportation is just the basic ability of this trial location," Su Jin''er exined. Mo Xiao nodded and looked at the huge tank-like chariot next to him again. No one knew what he was thinking. Seeing this, Su Jin Er smiled and said, "If you''re interested in this, I can bring you to take a look after you''vepleted your profession change." "I''m just a little curious." Just as Mo Xiao and Su Jin Er were about to leave, an information panel suddenly appeared in front of Su Jin Er. Yao Shier: Jin''er, the situation on the battlefield is urgent,e back quickly! "Master?!" Seeing this message, Su Jin''er was immediately startled. "What''s wrong, Senior Sister?" Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin''er in confusion. "There''s trouble at the Tianyuan Battlefield¡­" Chapter 203 - 203: A Hot Base City, A Terrifying Boss that Could Change the Environment? Chapter 203 - 203: A Hot Base City, A Terrifying Boss that Could Change the Environment? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°The Tianyuan battlefield is in trouble,¡± Su Jin¡¯er said with a serious expression. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, junior brother, but it seems I can¡¯t apany you on this advancement task.¡± ¡°The Tianyuan battlefield is in trouble?¡± Mo Xiao was surprised. ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be, right? Haven¡¯t our master and the others arrived at the Tianyuan battlefield yet?¡± Su Jin¡¯er furrowed her brow and replied, ¡°This is the message 1 received from our master. They should have already arrived, but it seems that the monsters haveunched a full-scale attack. ¡°Alright, 1 won¡¯t waste any more time with you. 1 need to return to the Tianyuan battlefield immediately. I¡¯ll tell you the details once 1 find out more.¡± With that, Su finer didn¡¯t wait for Mo Xiao¡¯s response and took out a shimmering scroll from her backpack. She crushed it abruptly, and it turned into a blue light, disappearing. ¡°A teleportation scroll?¡± Mo Xiao watched as Su finer left directly and didn¡¯t react much. For Mo Xiao, it was morefortable to act alone than with someone else. However, at this moment, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t shake off a sense of unease lingering in his heart. He had a feeling that something bad might happen. ¡°Is it just my imagination?¡± Mo Xiao felt a vague palpitation in his heart, furrowing his brows slightly. Nevertheless, he didn¡¯t dwell on it and shook his head gently. He looked at the map and started walking back towards Yangcheng Base City. Twenty minutester. As a blue light that represented teleportation lit up, Mo Xiao appeared in a brand new base city again. As soon as he entered, a wave of heat instantly assaulted his face, causing Mo Xiao to frown. ¡°Damn, why is it so hot?¡± Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked out of the teleportation array. The surrounding air seemed to have already distorted under this scorching temperature. Seeing this, the guard in charge of guarding at the side also smiled and said, ¡°Little brother, is this your first time here?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao nodded slightly and did not say anything. ¡°Our Sansha Base City wasn¡¯t like this in the beginning, but two years ago, a boss seemed to have rushed out of the Secret Realm, causing the temperature here to be extremely abnormal,¡± the guard exined. ¡°However, it¡¯s not life-threatening. It¡¯s just that daily life is more torturous.¡± ¡°Boss? What boss?¡± Mo Xiao asked curiously. The guard thought for a moment and said, ¡°ording to the rumors, it seems to be a huge fire lizard. Many people want to get rid of it, and even the Fire God came personally, but because we really can¡¯t find its location, we can only give up for the time being.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned. ¡°Thank you, I understand.¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re wee. By the way, if you¡¯re really hot, you can go to the dungeon hall in the city and find some ice-type professions to add an ice-type protection. That way, you¡¯ll feel much morefortable,¡± the guard said enthusiastically. ¡°After all, the highest temperature we have at noon can reach 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. Although it¡¯s all digitized now and there¡¯s no such thing as heatstroke, it¡¯s still very torturous. ¡°Moreover, we¡¯re still in the base city. It¡¯ll be even hotter outside. You have to be careful.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Mo Xiao nodded at the two of them. Although he had the power of the Fire God and was immune to all fire damage, this scorching heat was not harmful, and he was not immune to it. Although he had experienced it once in the Wood Secret Realm, because it was an environment with fire damage, Mo Xiao had resisted it. Although Mo Xiao had many skills now, among magic, there was only fire, and even thunder only had one move. ¡°It seems that I didn¡¯t prepare enough¡­¡± Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes and strode out of the teleportation array, heading into the base city. If it were any other city, there would be many people on the streets at this time. But here, there was no one on the streets. There were only a few professionals here and there, and even they were walking quickly. ¡°A boss that can affect the natural environment of the base city¡­ Isn¡¯t he too powerful?¡± After walking for a while, Mo Xiao wiped the sweat off his forehead. As expected, this scorching temperature was not something ordinary people could withstand. Soon, under the effect of the hot temperature, Mo Xiao involuntarily quickened his pace and quickly arrived at the dungeon hall. As soon as he entered the main hall, a sensation of coolness enveloped Mo Xiao¡¯s entire body, nearly making him exim in relief. This main hall was different from the city; it resembled a small city filled with various professionals. At the entrance, several water-element mages dressed as professionals noticed Mo Xiao and one of them immediately walked over. ¡°Little brother, from the looks of it, this should be your first timeing to our Sansha Base City, right? Would you like me to cast an ice barrier for you? It¡¯ll make you much morefortable-¡± The ice-element professional said in a friendly manner. ¡°Ice-element professional?¡± Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow and extended his hand to the mage. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Mo Xiao..¡± Chapter 204 - 204: Replication Successful ~ Ice Protection Chapter 204 - 204: Replication Sessful ~ Ice Protection Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Hello, my name is Mo Xiao.¡± Mo Xiao extended his hand toward the Ice Mage in a friendly manner. Seeing this, the man grabbed A4O Xiao¡¯s hand without thinking. ¡°I¡¯m Wang Bing. Why did Brother Mo Xiaoe to Sansha Base City? It¡¯s quite remote here. Not many people visit.¡± [You rubbed against the Ice Mage Royal Armament. The skill Ice Barrier has been replicated!] [Ding, the sublimation ability has been triggered! Ice Barrier has been sublimated into Ice Protection!] [Ice Protection: A blue skill that summons ayer of frost to protect itself after use. It can negate 60% of physical damage and deal a portion of ice-type damage to the attacker! This skill willst for 10 seconds after the attack. If not attacked, it canst for an hour. Cost: 300 MP. CD: 10 minutes.] Looking at the skill in front of him, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. He had thought that this sublimation effect would be very difficult to trigger, but he did not expect to get it on his first replication skill. ¡°I¡¯m here to change my ss. My profession change task requires me to go to the Fire Secret Realm, so I came here,¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said without hiding anything. When Wang Bing heard this, he looked at Mo Xiao in surprise. ¡°You look like you just finished the college entrance examination. I didn¡¯t expect you to be able to change your profession!¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Mo Xiao nodded and did not say anything else. Wang Bing touched his chin and grinned. ¡°Do you not know where the Fire Secret Realm is? How about this? As long as you give me 500 yuan, I¡¯ll take you there. How about that?¡± ¡°No need. I have the coordinates of the Fire Secret Realm. I¡¯m just curious about what the dungeon hall here looks like.¡± Mo Xiao nced at Wang Bing and refused without thinking. ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to refuse! Sansha City is very hot. It will definitely be beneficial to bring me along as an Ice Mage! Let¡¯s not talk about other things, 1 can at least help you cool down!¡± Wang Bing quickly said. ¡°Thanks, but there¡¯s no need.¡± After Mo Xiao refused again, he left directly. Watching Mo Xiao leave without hesitation, Wang Bing grumbled, ¡°Tsk, if you don¡¯t want help, then forget it. You¡¯ll roast in this heat!¡± Naturally, Mo Xiao didn¡¯t hear Wang Bing¡¯sints. He walked around the dungeon hall and found a few Ice Mages to use a few Ice-type skills. However, the next few times, he was not as lucky as the first time. He did not obtain any sublimation, but he did obtain some useful skills. Twenty minutester, at the entrance of the dungeon hall: ¡°It seems that the level of Sansha Base City is also above our Yicheng. The dungeon here can actually reach level 70. I¡¯lle and level up again when I have the chance in the future.¡± Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao walked out of the dungeon hall. Before the scorching temperature could reach him, he activated his newly learned skill, Ice Protection. Immediately, a gust of cold air appeared under Mo Xiao¡¯s feet like an illusory barrier, protecting him. The originally scorching temperature instantly decreased by more than half, and he immediately felt much morefortable. Then, Mo Xiao strode along the street and left Sansha Base City. As soon as he walked out of the city, an even hotter air wave instantly assaulted his face. If Mo Xiao hadn¡¯t activated Ice Protection, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to stay in this environment for even a minute. ¡°The temperature here is too abnormal¡­ Even if there¡¯s a boss, it shouldn¡¯t be like this.¡± Mo Xiao felt the surrounding temperature and couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°Forget it, this has nothing to do with me. Let¡¯s go find the Fire Secret Realm first.¡± Although Mo Xiao felt that something was off, it had nothing to do with him. Unless he encountered a specific task, he couldn¡¯t be bothered with such matters. Looking at the air distorted by the scorching sun, Mo Xiao opened the map and followed the coordinates towards the Fire Secret Realm. Sansha Base City was a peculiar ind city. Mo Xiao walked for about 30 minutes before a boundless ocean appeared in front of him. The creatures around him gradually changed fromnd animals to amphibians, and even pure marine animals. ¡°So, is this the sea?¡± Looking at the boundless ocean in front of him, Mo Xiao sighed. Whether it was in his previous life or this life, he had never seen the sea. This time, he was finally fulfilling a long-held desire. Looking at the map in his hand, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows again, because from this point on, there was no morend; it was all ocean, and the Fire Secret Realm was located on the sea. Although Mo Xiao didn¡¯t understand why the Fire Secret Realm was in a ce filled with water, he had no choice but to go. Looking at the situation in front of him, Mo Xiao pondered for a moment and activated his skill, Flight Technique! Immediately, a strong wind lifted Mo Xiao into the air. He continued flying towards the Fire Secret Realm. Just as Mo Xiao flew over the ocean, a yellow bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck the spot where Mo Xiao had been. In the next moment, an extremely strange bug appeared on the beach out of nowhere.. Chapter 205 - 205: Is the Guardian of the Secret Realm a Crab? Chapter 205 - 205: Is the Guardian of the Secret Realm a Crab? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Boom!¡± Apanied by a loud rumble, a thick yellow thunderbolt, like a bucket, instantly struck the beach. The next moment, a bizarre and huge flying insect with a strange shape appeared on the beach. The two antennae on the top of the insect¡¯s head swayed rapidly. Seemingly unable to find what it was looking for, it took off into the air again. At the same time, its huge body slowly shrank. In no time, it transformed into a strange girl in insect armor. ¡°Just now, 1 felt the presence of the target here, how did it suddenly disappear?¡± The girl shook her head in puzzlement. ¡°My mission this time is to bring the target back. If it escapes¡­¡± Thinking about this, the girl quickly shook her head, and then a pair of huge wings, simr to the previous insect, appeared behind her. She suddenly pped her wings, and in the push of countless yellow thunderbolts, she turned into a stream of light and disappeared. Meanwhile, above the ocean. Mo Xiao was leisurely flying forward when he suddenly sneezed. ¡°Huh? Why did you suddenly sneeze? Is someone talking about me?¡± Confused, Mo Xiao looked around but did not see anything. Then, he stopped thinking and continued to fly forward with fear ording to the map¡¯s hint. In his previous life, Mo Xiao knew that the most mysterious thing in this world was the sea. Now that he had transmigrated, this sentence was not wrong. Although the monsters on the coast were also level 40 to 50, at least there was a level division and he knew how to walk. However, there was no hierarchy in the sea. Just now, Mo Xiao had seen a terrifying level 100 shark jump out of the water and directly devour a level 70 to 80 fish. If such a monster locked onto him, Mo Xiao was certain that he would be swallowed by it before he could even react, let alone resist. Just as Mo Xiao was letting his imagination run wild, he suddenly heard a bubbling sound. Mo Xiao looked in the direction of the voice and saw that on the sea not far away, the seawater seemed to be boiling as it kept churning. Waves of hot steam continuously rose from it. Even without getting close, he knew that this ce must be very hot. ¡°What is this? An underwater volcano?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the boiling seawater in front of him in confusion. Then he looked at the map in front of him, and his expression instantly became strange. From the coordinates, the location of the Fire Secret Realm was clearly below sea level. At first, Mo Xiao thought there would be an ind in this ce, and there would be a hole on the ind where he could go down. Judging from the current situation¡­ This Fire Secret Realm waspletely submerged in water. And it was submerged in the boiling water. Isn¡¯t this a death trap? ¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡­ the Fire Secret Realm is in this boiling water?!¡± Looking at the boiling seawater under his feet, Mo Xiao couldn¡¯t help but gulp. If he continued like this¡­ Wouldn¡¯t he turn into boiled meat? Just as Mo Xiao was thinking about how to proceed, a huge column of water suddenly shot up into the sky and headed straight for Mo Xiao. ¡°Oh my God! Boiling water column!¡± Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao¡¯s pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly dodged. The moment Mo Xiao dodged, countless bubbles whistled out from the bottom of the water and flew towards Mo Xiao again. The range was so wide that it almost enveloped the surface of the sea within a few kilometers. Before Mo Xiao could react, one of the bubbles burst. In an instant, a series of explosions instantly exploded on the sea. Following the end of the explosion, countless ice walls slowly shattered in front of Mo Xiao and fell into the sea. This was one of Mo Xiao¡¯s newly learned skills, Ice Wall. Relying on the endless seawater, Mo Xiao could instantly create countless ice walls to defend himself. ¡°Water column, plus bubbles. This Secret Realm guardian can¡¯t be a crab, right?¡± Mo Xiao looked at the still boiling sea in front of him and asked doubtfully. However, just as Mo Xiao finished speaking, a huge red pincer instantly whistled out from the bottom of the sea and quickly grabbed at Mo Xiao. ¡°It¡¯s really a crab! What huge pincers! King crabs?!¡± Looking at the pincers that suddenly appeared, Mo Xiao almost drooled. ¡°Soul Extinguishing ck me!¡± Of course, even if he drooled, Mo Xiao would not show any mercy. In an instant, a ck me ignited on the crab¡¯s pincers. However, the next moment, a string of numbers caused Mo Xiao¡¯s expression to instantly turn cold. + 50,000! That¡¯s right. Mo Xiao¡¯s move had actually restored 50,000 HP to this crab! This meant that this crab¡¯s attribute was likely fire. ¡°A fire-attribute boss living in the water is really strange¡­¡± Looking at the situation in front of him, Mo Xiao also grinned. Then, the Thousand Mechanism Umbre in his hand slowly changed its form, directly transforming into two giant swords.. ¡°Since fire skills don¡¯t work, then I¡¯ll just cut you down!¡± Chapter 206 - 206: Flame Pincer Devourer Slain! Chapter 206: me Pincer Devourer in! Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Since fire-attribute magic doesn¡¯t have any effect on you, I¡¯ll just chop you up.¡± Mo Xiao¡¯s expression was cold. The Thousand Mechanism Umbre in his hand quickly transformed into two huge swords. It was as if he had heard Mo Xiao¡¯s threat. The sea, which was already rolling non-stop, fluctuated even more violently. In the next moment, two huge red crab pincers slowly appeared from the sea. As the crab pincers appeared, a huge red shell gradually appeared on the surface of the sea. Clearly, this huge crab had discovered that ordinary skills could not deal with Mo Xiao. He was ready to attack with all his might and eliminate Mo Xiao. Looking at the huge red carapace in front of him, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Then, he used the Illusion Breaking Technique on the crab. me Pincer Devourer ¨C Silver Rank Boss Level: LV70 HP: 250,000/250,000 Strength: 15,000 Agility: 8,000 Spirit: 6,000 Endurance: 12,000 Physique: 20,000 Skills: me Spit: Releases a scorching jet of me at the yer, dealing area-of-effect burn damage to the target and causing them to sustain fire damage for a certain period of time.

The surrounding area is enveloped in scorching mes, and it continuously deals damage to yers who enter. Fire Control: All fire-type attacks are ineffective against me. ¡°Level 70 boss?!¡± Looking at the panel in front of him, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°And it¡¯s a silver boss?¡± If anyone else encountered such a boss, they would definitely run away without looking back. After all, they were at sea and it was inconvenient for them to move. He encountered a level 70 Silver Boss. Not to mention a level 30 professional, even a level 70 professional would have to run after careful consideration. Looking at the huge crab in front of him, Mo Xiao also took a deep breath. Although the attributes of this thing could not bepared to the golden horses they encountered during the siege, it was definitely not an ordinary boss. At that time, he had used demonization to deal with the golden centaur. ¡°Dragon Language, Dragon Wings!¡± ¡°Dragon Language: Strength Halo!¡± ¡°Dragon Language, Brutal Power!¡± ¡°Dragon Language, Full Power Attack!¡± ¡°Dragon Language, Absolute Shadow!¡± As Mo Xiao muttered, he instantly released countless techniques. In the next moment, Mo Xiao directly turned into a shadow and rushed towards the me Pincer Devourer. Looking at Mo Xiao rushing over, the me Eater suddenly waved its pair of pincers. At the same time, two balls of hot mes instantly exploded on the pincers. It grabbed at Mo Xiao ferociously. ¡°me Dance Pincer Strike¡­¡± Looking at the huge ming pincers whistling towards him, a shield instantly appeared in Mo Xiao¡¯s hand. ¡°ng!¡± With a dull sound of metal colliding, the huge crab pincer was instantly sent flying. At this moment, countless magma soared into the sky and poured directly towards Mo Xiao. Mo Xiao looked at the roaring magma. His expression did not change. Under the bbergasted gaze of the me Eater, he charged straight into the magma. Before the me Pincer Devourer could react, Mo Xiao had already appeared in front of it. ¡°Shattering Mountains and Rivers!¡± With a low shout from Mo Xiao, a dazzling sword aura instantly shot out, piercing through the me Pincer Devourer¡¯s body. -4,985,000! Immediately, a number as high as 1,000,000 appeared on me w Devourer¡¯s body. In an instant, a shrill scream sounded. Endless mes shot out from its wound and radiated in all directions. The range was so wide that even if Mo Xiao used Jueying with all his might, it was absolutely impossible for him to escape. However, Mo Xiao had no intention of dodging. After all, he had the power of the Fire God. As long as it was a fire-element skill, Mo Xiao would bepletely immune. There was no need to evade at all. About three minutester, the mes that had swept over a hundred meters slowly disappeared. The crab in the seawater had turned into a thoroughly roasted crab. ¡°Hmm, good customer service. After killing it, it even roasted itself.¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao grinned. He flew over to the crab. ¡°It seems it¡¯spletely dead.¡± Mo Xiao kicked the crab beside him, which was obviously beyond recovery. [Congrattions on defeating the Realm Guardian, me Pincer Devourer, and obtaining permission to enter the Realm of Fire.] ¡°Oh? There are no drops?¡± Hearing this system message, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows in confusion.. Chapter 207 - 207: Diving, Water Pressure Chapter 207: Diving, Water Pressure Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°Huh? No drops?¡±¡® Looking at the enormous crab in front of him which was already dead, Mo Xiao frowned. After all, this was a level 70 silver boss! Even if it didn¡¯t give experience points, it could at least drop some high-level treasure chests, powerful materials, or equipment! How could there be nothing? [The skill of me Pincer Devourer has the ability to destroy dropped items. When it dies, mes cover its entire body,pletely incinerating dropped items.] ¡°Damn! What kind of monster can destroy its own drops? Is this some sort of cheating?¡± Seeing the situation in front of him, Mo Xiao was furious. He kicked the crab hard. Then he slowly floated up again and opened the map once more. He continued to advance along the route on the map. However, not long after flying, Mo Xiao stopped again. He frowned tightly. ¡°It seems that if I want to go to this Fire Secret Realm, 1 can only dive deeper.¡± Looking at the negative coordinates on the map, Mo Xiao took a deep breath. Then he plunged into the sea with a powerful dive. [You have entered a special map, Scorching Ocean!] [Oxygen Time: 50 seconds.] ¡°30 minutes of oxygen¡­ That¡¯s quite a long time.¡± Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, ¡°What will happen after 30 seconds?¡± [If you don¡¯t breathe oxygen again within the specified time, your health points will decrease by 10% per second.] ¡°10% per second? In other words¡­ I can survive underwater for at most 59 seconds?¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said, ¡°Then what if 1 recover my HP midway?¡± [Aerobic state cannot recover HP.] ¡°Fine¡­¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao nodded helplessly. However, he did not dive directly. Instead, he rose into the air again and took a deep breath. The wings behind him pped violently and quickly dived towards the sponge. It almost instantly rushed into the sea. Then, he rushed down crazily. ¡°Damn, the coordinates of the sea level are actually 0? This Fire Secret Realm is actually more than 2,000 meters underwater? Isn¡¯t this a joke?!¡± After falling into the sea, Mo Xiao instantly reacted. The depth of the Fire Secret Realm was too exaggerated! ¡°I hope this game doesn¡¯t have something like water pressure¡­¡± Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and continued to rush down. ¡°Dragon Language, Shadowless!¡± Seeing that ten seconds had passed, Mo Xiao did not dare to be negligent anymore and directly activated Shadowless. He increased his speed and dived down again. Twenty-eight secondster. [You have arrived at the deep sea area of the scorching sea, 1,000 meters!] As the system notification sounded, Mo Xiao instantly felt his movement speed decrease by half. Moreover, his entire body was aching, as if something was pressing down on him. [-5] [¡¯5] Looking at the continuously decreasing health, Mo Xiao s eyes widened again, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Seeing this, Mo Xiao quickly opened the mission panel, and suddenly a dazzling debuff appeared in front of him. [Water pressure: When you reach 1,000 meters of the ocean, you will be affected by water pressure. Your dual velocity will decrease by 6o%, and your health will decrease by 5 points per second.] ¡°Damn!¡± Seeing this information, Mo Xiao exploded again. ¡°In a game world, why make it so realistic? How can there be water pressure! ¡± Seeing that there was not much oxygen left, Mo Xiao sighed helplessly and changed directions, rushing up. After turning around, Mo Xiao¡¯s speed increased significantly, and he returned to the surface of the sea in about 15 seconds. Mo Xiao was panting as he floated on the surface of the sea, speechless. ¡°There¡¯s actually water pressure. I¡¯m really speechless! ¡± ¡°What should we do?¡± Mo Xiao said helplessly, ¡°1 really don¡¯t know how Yan Zhantian went down at that time¡­¡± Thinking of this, Mo Xiao suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something. ¡°Could it be that 1 can rush down after transforming into fire elements?¡± Thinking of this, Mo Xiao calmed himself down. He activated Shadowless again and rushed into the water as quickly as possible. Twenty-eight secondster. [You have arrived at the deep sea area of the scorching sea, 1,000 meters!] As the system notification appeared again, Mo Xiao hurriedly activated his skill, ¡°Dragon Language, Fire Elemental Transformation!¡± Mo Xiao activated his skill and turned into a ball of mes. Immediately, all the pressure disappeared. His speed also returned to normal. Although Shadowless could no longer be used, the oxygen consumption had stopped. Seeing this, Mo Xiao was also delighted and hurriedly continued to rush down. After all, there was a time limit to rhe Fire Elemental Transformation. Thirty secondster. [You have arrived at the deep sea area of the scorching sea, 2,000 meters! ] As soon as he reached 2,000 meters, Mo Xiao felt the pressure around him increase again, and his movement speed decreased again. ¡°Damn, there¡¯s still over 400 meters to go!¡± Just as Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and was about to continue down, a huge ck shadow suddenly streaked past in front of him. ¡°What is this!¡± Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao was shocked. He looked again, but he didn¡¯t see anything, ¡°What¡¯s going on? ¡°Could it be my eyes ying tricks on me?¡± Chapter 208 - 208: The Merfolk Clan? Chapter 208 - 208: The Merfolk n? Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios ¡°What is it? Am I seeing things?¡± Mo Xiao frowned and looked around. However, even if he used the Illusion Breaking Technique, he still could not see the presence of that dark figure. With no results in his exploration, Mo Xiao decided to continue descending. After all, his oxygen wouldn¡¯tst much longer. Just as he was about to continue his descent, Mo Xiao suddenly felt like he had passed through something. When he realized it, the pressure around his body had disappeared. His life points were no longer decreasing, and they were slowly recovering. Even the oxygen was gradually replenishing. ¡°Are you a human?¡± Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, an extremely pleasant voice sounded. Suddenly, it echoed in his ears. To be precise, it was from within that peculiar entity. Mo Xiao, rmed, eximed, ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± ¡°Oh, please don¡¯t be afraid. I mean you no harm,¡± the voice continued. ¡°1 saw you bleeding, so 1 used bubbles to wrap you up. ¡°1 remember that humans cannot breathe underwater and cannot withstand the deep-sea pressure.¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°So, who are you?¡± ¡°Oh¡­ You seem very uneasy,¡± the voice sounded concerned. ¡°I am Milia, from the merfolk n. When 1 saw you here, I thought you were drowning, so I came to check on you.¡± ¡°Merfolk n?¡± Hearing this name, Mo Xiao was first stunned, and then a huge whale-like figure appeared in front of him. Without waiting for Mo Xiao to speak, the huge whale¡¯s body emitted a red light. Then, it transformed into a human and entered the bubble. ¡°Hello, human. What¡¯s your name?¡± Miriya smiled sweetly at Mo Xiao. ¡°My, my name is Mo Xiao.¡± Mo Xiao looked at the mermaid in front of him and was stunned. Although it was called a mermaid, it actually had the body of a fish, but this fish was very familiar to Mo Xiao. Because it was too simr to Mifa in Zelda! It was almost the same! ¡°Um¡­ Do you know a mermaid named Mifa?¡± Mo Xiao swallowed and asked carefully. Hearing this, Milia thought for a moment and shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know him. Do you know any warriors from our merfolk n?¡± ¡°Well, not really. 1 just heard a story about the merfolk princess Mipha and her brother, Sidon,¡± Mo Xiao said awkwardly. ¡°Sidon? I also have a brother, but his name is Midoya,¡± Milia said with a smile, then asked curiously, ¡°But why did you, a human,e to the deep sea like this?¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao remembered his business and said, ¡°I¡¯m here to find the Fire Secret Realm.¡± Hearing this, Milia was stunned for a moment, then asked with a serious expression, ¡°The Fire Secret Realm? You¡¯re from the Fire Secret Realm?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s my profession change task. I have to go to the Fire Realm,¡± Mo Xiao replied truthfully. Milia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. ¡°That¡¯s good. Our merfolk n is mortal enemies with the Fire Spirits from the Fire Realm. If you were one of them, 1 would have drowned you in this sea.¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao curiously asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you merfolk supposed to be the natural enemies of the Fire Spirits?¡± ¡°While we are skilled in controlling water, water and fire are naturally bnced against each other. Any sufficiently powerful fire can evaporate water,¡± Milia said somewhat bitterly. ¡°1 don¡¯t know how to stop the Fire Spirits¡¯ attacks.¡± [Ding, mission issued! Investigate the method to defeat the Fire Spirit n!] Yes? Hearing this message, Mo Xiao was stunned. How could he receive a mission like this? ¡°I¡¯m going to the Fire Spirit nter. I can help you take a look.¡± Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said. ¡°You?¡± Milia asked suspiciously. ¡°You¡¯re just a level 30 human. You can¡¯t interfere in our battle.¡± ¡°Maybe?¡± Mo Xiao smiled slightly and said, ¡°Moreover, my goal is the Vermillion Bird Jade of the Fire Spirit n. Even if I don¡¯t get involved in your matters, they won¡¯t let me off.¡± ¡°Jade of the Vermillion Bird?¡± AAiriya was also stunned. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°Huh? Don¡¯t you know?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of it, but I know about Vermillion Bird. It lives in the center of the Fire Secret Realm. 1 heard that it was recently seriously injured, so it stopped attacking us,¡± Milia said after thinking for a moment. ¡°!¡± Hearing this, Mo Xiao instantly perked up. Vermillion Bird was seriously injured! Didn¡¯t that mean that the guardian of the Vermillion Bird Jade was injured? Then, as long as he took this opportunity to enter, wouldn¡¯t the divine beast jade be easy to obtain?! Thinking of this, Mo Xiao was delighted and quickly said, ¡°Milia, can I ask you for a favor? ¡°Can you send me to the entrance of the Fire Secret Realm? I¡¯ve already killed that big crab. 1 can enter directly..¡± The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
