“Look! This is my spiritual power sand table that I upgraded and retrofitted for 500,000 spiritual energy coins, impressive right?”
Tina led Su Yu to the main hall of the residence, pointing at the spiritual power sand table set up there while bragging.
Su Yu looked at the sand table.
The table was originally top-of-the-line, with a length of 5 meters and width of 3 meters.
Now, after modifications and upgrades, the sand table extended to 6.5 meters in length and almost 4 meters in width, filling up the entire large hall.
Of course, size was just superficial; the most important features of a spiritual power sand table were its capabilities and ease of operation. These features could only be discerned after the sand table was activated.
However, Su Yu was somewhat disappointed.
He thought the “fun thing” that Tina had mentioned was a new outfit she had recently purchased. He had been quite interested in a goose-yellow skirt she had bought recently.
As for the sand table
Su Yu truly wasn’t that interested.
“Nemesis, could you play a few chess games with me? It’s been a while since I last played.” Tina shook Su Yu’s arm, looking at him with hopeful eyes.
Strategic wargaming was a game for aristocrats, few knew how to play. Those in the military who knew how to play were either too busy or weren’t on good terms, so Tina had lacked a chess partner since Su Yu left. She felt quite lonely.
Su Yu initially felt like refusing. After all, he was nowhere near Tina’s level, and he was not in the mood to be masochistic.
However, seeing Tina’s expectant face, his heart softened: “Alright, I’ll play a few games with you.”
“Yay!”
Tina hopped over to the side of the sand table and expertly flipped the switch.
The environment within the sand table flickered, and a brand-new, simulated battlefield emerged.
The intense wargame commenced.
The sand table, following upgrades and optimizations, added many texture details and operated much smoother. It even introduced a new “Siege” map, which wasn’t there before.
The first wargame was a sieging game. Su Yu led 50,000 soldiers in defending the city, and Tina led 50,000 in breaching it.
Taking advantage of the vast geographical benefits, along with the fact that a defending battle was easier, Su Yu and Tina were evenly matched in the initial 10 minutes.
However, it’s widely known that females possess more stamina than males.
10 minutes later, while Tina was still vigorous, Su Yu gradually weakened, struggling to keep up with Tina’s pace.
In the 15th minute of the siege battle, Tina came from behind to take the upper hand.
At the 18-minute mark, Tina secretly dug a tunnel, letting a portion of her forces enter the city via the tunnel, creating a pincer maneuver with the siege forces outside. This caused Su Yu’s team, stationed atop the city, to be caught off guard and lose strategic locations, ultimately leading to Tina’s victory!
After the game, Su Yu gave Tina a thumbs-up: “Tina, your commanding skills have significantly improved.”
Tina could now even micro-manage 20 army lines, her command abilities were becoming as terrifying as computer scripts.
“Thank you!” Tina was delighted with Su Yu’s praise.
But then Su Yu changed the subject: “However, I must point out your most significant weakness, which you may not have noticed.”
“What weakness?” Tina looked concerned.
“The weakness is—you’re just too weak.” Su Yu candidly said: “You have to command the army from the sky with a God’s-eye view, don’t you? Only then can you bring out your full potential?”
“Yes.”
“We’re going to face the rebel forces of Kalet in the future. There are over three hundred high-ranking figures there, with your level five abilities it’s hard to guarantee that your command won’t be interrupted upon ascending. Furthermore, if someone from level six were to arrive, well the consequences are frightening to imagine.”
After hearing Su Yu’s words, Tina nodded: “Yeah, that’s right. My personal strength isn’t quite impressive on the front lines, I feel that I need to improve it as soon as possible! If I could reach the sixth rank, it’d be much better for me on the battlefield!”
Tina sat down on the sofa next to the sand table as soon as she finished speaking, and began to contemplate the issue of getting stronger.
Su Yu did not disturb her, and stood silently waiting nearby.
About five minutes later, Tina finished her contemplation and said, “Nemesis, there’s a high-ranking secret realm within the Unicorn Knights called the– [Land of the Abyss]. The realm houses a few fifth-rank monsters. I can open this secret realm within my authority as a legion commander.”
“Nemesis, would you like to join me on this exploration?”
Just as Tina finished speaking, Su Yu received a game prompt:
“Ding, your main plot has been updated, [Saintess of Orleans City (26/50)].”
“Task requirement: Accompany [Tina Garcia] to clear the secret realm [Land of the Abyss].”
“Task reward: Second-rank skill scroll [Summon Diamond Elemental].”
Noticing that the main plot had finally been triggered, Su Yu perked up.
He reached out his hand to Tina: “Tina, let’s set off now!”
Tina nodded, got up from the sofa holding Su Yu’s hand and the two left their residence side by side.
The main plot from 26 to 35th stage, a total of 10 missions, Su Yu accompanied Tina to clear five small instances including the [Land of the Abyss], and helped her journey to various dangerous realms within the country, killed wild boss monsters, and collected materials for cultivation and breakthrough.
The last mission that is, the 35th one.
At the southernmost seaside of Orleans City, there stands a huge erupting volcano.
With a rumbling noise, hot magma spews out from the mouth of the volcano.
But suddenly, a crack opened from the side of the crater.
This crack expanded rapidly and with a loud bang, the entire volcano was split in half along this crack. Boiling magma flowed out from the crack, lighting up half of the sky.
Su Yu hovered near the sky of the volcano’s crater, patiently waiting.
“Boom!”
With a loud sound, a golden figure jumped out from the crater, holding a giant heart over 2 meters high in its left hand.
This figure was none other than Tina.
“Nemesis, I’ve succeeded!” Tina happily waved her long sword at Su Yu: “This is the heart of the Flame Hydra, a newly ascended sixth-rank leader. I successfully defeated it!”
“You did really well, Tina!” Su Yu cupped his hands on his mouth to form a makeshift loudspeaker, shouting, “Take this chance and breakthrough now!”
“I intend to do just that!”
“Hey!”
Tina waved her left arm, tossing the heart high in the air.
Then she swung her right hand’s long sword, and like a dazzling golden light, sliced the heart.
Without any sound, the Hydra’s heart was cut in half like tofu, and the red blood stored inside spurted out, dyeing Tina into a bloodred figure.
The golden light around Tina boiled violently like boiling water, outshining and suppressing even the magnificent magma erupting from the crater below.
Crack!
A crisp sound came from within Tina, her bottleneck shattered like glass.
Endless spiritual energy gathered from around her, and her body, like a funnel, absorbed all these droplets of spiritual energy.
Simultaneously, the brightness within her broke out once again, reflecting her successful breakthrough to become a strong being of the Sanctuary. The youngest in the history of the Empire!
