Thud———
Creak-!
A softly glowing cocoon of blue-purple, which shimmered with faint starlight burst open in an instant.
A Slime soared skyward.
“I, Duo Lai, am invincible now ”
Hovering mid-air, Duo Lai glanced at his round, chubby body and the empty energy bar within, as barren as a vast lake with only a few drops of water left and fell into deep thought.
Where’s my power?
Where is all that power I had?!
DUO Lai suddenly tumbled to the ground like a squashed glutinous rice ball, the light in his round face extinguished.
He had thought he was invincible.
If he was neither invincible nor able to eat charcoal-grilled Magma Dragons, then what had all his fighting and striving been for? Oh, right, for the trial. ’
It seemed like he was a hero now?
Duo Lai bounced up again, revitalizing himself with half of his health.
At this moment, he existed in the form of Slime, his gel-like body surface shimmering with a subtle, star-dust-like glow. The color was deeper than before, emitting a faint sense of mystery and still appearing innocuous as always.
The only difference was that Duo Lai had a badge attached to the right side of his head, hanging there like a hat.
“Duo Lai (Hero)”
“Level: First-order Level 8”
“Strategic Skills: Overlimit Swallowing”
Hero’s Talent: Enjoy Delicious”
“Hero’s Aura (Level Two): Attack and Defense Level Two, energy limit +20% Elemental Power +20%” (After Dead Bone broke through the profession level, the Hero’s Aura naturally upgraded from Level One to Level Two.)
“Overhmit Swallowing: When using this strategic skill, Duo Lai can significantly boost his level in a short period of time by consuming a large amount of items, wielding power far beyond his own. The increase and duration depend on the objects swallowed. After the skill’s duration, Hero Duo Lai’s level will have a small permanent increase.”
Note: When using this skill, use it with a large amount of Soul Sand to reduce the burden of Overlimit Swallowing on the body. If you can swallow certain treasures, the effect is even better.”
“Overlimit Swallowing!”
Isn’t this just the youth-limited version of ‘Trial Duo Lai’?!”
Lord Shepherd had a peculiar look on his face.
If he remembered correctly, the information from Xuan Country described Strategic skills as abilities that could influence wars, characterized by their wide coverage and large scale effect.
Duo Lai’s strategic skill was solely focused on himself.
It was a completely different style from others.
You never cease to amaze, Duo Lai.
“Gurgle-!”
Duo Lai puffed up…Oh, he couldn’t raise his neck at this moment, so he reached out his hands and did the Slime Teapot.
In all fairness, when activating Overlimit Swallowing, massively raising his level combined with killer moves like ‘Blazing Sun’ and ‘Thunderbolt’, Duo Lai indeed had the ability to influence a war.
If he leveled up a few more times or tens of times more, it would be easy for him to destroy mountains and rivers and alter the terrain.
As for Duo Lai’s Hero’s Talent…it was also…very unique.
“Enjoy Delicious: Under Duo Lai’s control, units receive an efficiency boost for absorption of all kinds of materials and treasures and an increase in the daily maximum extraction limit of Soul Sand. When Duo Lai is having a feast the more guests under his control, the stronger Duo Lai’s conversion efficiency from swallowing.”
At first glance, the skill description seems mundane and weird.
But upon careful consideration, one would realize…
“This Hero’s Talent does not enhance combat power at all. However, it’s a divine-grade supporting talent!”
Troops swallowing Filling Fruit could increase their maximum energy by +3 but with the boost from Duo Lai’s talent, the increase in energy limit might be +4-
Not to mention the boost to cultivation efficiency, which is among the best of enhancements.
Mu Yuan could only say that Duo Lai’s ability style is a bit offbeat, but not useless, it’s a godly ability actually.
Naturally, like Dead Bone, Duo Lai, who also received a ‘Perfect’ rating for passing the trial, obtained an upgradable weapon exclusively for himself.
It was the badge that looked like a hat on his head.
“Ever-changing Badge”
Category: Special Hero Equipment”
“Ability: Features high sharpness, high toughness, high resistance, high defense, and can moderately enhance the holder’s physique, spirit, and energy Moreover, the Ever-changing Badge can be morphed into War Hammer ‘ ‘Staff,’ ‘Robe,’ ‘Battle Boots,’ ‘Wings,’ and other forms, each possessing ’ different abilities. When fused with the holder’s unique power, the Ever-changing Badge can also manifest specific effects.”
“Ever-changing ■ Staff Form: Moderately enhances chant speed and elemental destructive power.”
“Ever-changing – Wings Form: Significantly enhances flight speed.”
Ever-changing – Robe Form: Comes with an Energy Light Shield.”
More operations to be discovered by the user.”
“Note: The Ever-changing Badge is equipment that matches ‘Hero ■ Duo Lai.’ It comes back to him upon thought and can be upgraded.”
Duo Lai was already elated and enjoying himself.
He sometimes morphed the badge into wings or threw it out like a dart and caught it as it spun back to him.
He could even morph the badge into a Big Slime, face it eye-to-eye, and coo at each other.
In this regard, Duo Lai seemed to be particularly gifted.
“Let this envoy tell you that back then, this Duo bravely fought from the west of the wilderness forest to the east without blinking. This Duo bulldozed through and trampled opposition underfoot. In the end, a humongous Magma Dragon was entirely fried to a crisp by my power.”
He was telling stories to Lu Liu, Hong Yi, and others with great animation.
A story named educating the younger generation, but in fact, it was about promoting his glorious battlefield achievements.
Hearing this, Dead Bone was also slightly stunned.
Was even his imagination so limited?
The Dead Bone General fell into deep thought for the second time within a day.
Duo Lai’s elevation to hero status means that it, like Dead Bone, can be entrusted with some territorial powers, and can help him manage many territorial affairs.
However, Duo Lai dealing with affairs? That could lead to accidents.
At most, it uses its hero power to operate the Thunder Magnetic Coil Towers, giving itself a few thunder baths.
Today, the generals and soldiers from Tianyuan Territory who are out battling are under Dead Bone’s banner, enjoying the enhancements from aura and strategic talent.
Those who stay at home are under Duo Lai’s charge, enjoying the boost from the ‘Bulimic’ talent.
One for battle, one for support, the combination is quite perfect.
The small Tianyuan Territory already has two heroes, but this is nothing to be proud of. Both Duo Lai and Dead Bone are too weak.
Their power is not enough.
Even though ‘within reach’ is the underground ancient city, Mu Yuan dare not launch an exploration due to the fear of accidents. Tianyuan Territory’s ability to resist accidents and risks is still weak.
At present, he can only honestly and low-key continue to develop.
He placed an order to purchase a batch of Little Skeletons, Slime, Militia, Battle Falcon, and the Green Vined Snake Remnant Soul, and he continued to browse the forum to collect information daily.
The Hero’s Proof that appeared yesterday, is still quite an upsurge.
While some senior lords show their envy, others chat about the trial scene. “The trial scene is completely random, but when summed up, there are only a few types.
“Campaign, city defense, escort, and so on.”
“However, although it’s random, the difficulty of the campaigns is not entirely the same, a few trial campaigns are obviously more difficult than others. If you randomly get these, there is a substantial possibility of failure.”
Under the rookies’ continued inquiries, the senior lord paused and said, “Dragon Fight, Nightmare City, Hell Gate… but I am not clear why there are trials that are significantly more challenging than other stages. Aren’t the world trials supposed to be the fairest?”
The Hero Trial is still far away. What the newly established lords are most looking forward to is the upcoming Hero Festival.
“Last time at the Hero Festival, there were ordinary lords who successfully held hands with heroes. This fully explains that everyone has a chance.”
“However, I heard that Wangba Territory, Shen Lei Territory, and other top-level second generation lords have already set their targets on those high-level heroes. And also those second generations who underwent the trial last time, and the time before.”
“I have exclusive high-level hero information here, don’t miss out.” ‘Profiles of 36 high-level heroes, absolutely confidential. Will you pay T Soul Crystal’ to download?’
No, no, no!
This obviously seeks to hoodwink the newcomers. It’s not entirely fraudulent.
This paid information would contain some valid details; otherwise, it would have already been reported and blocked by now.
But the valid details wouldn’t be many. It would be safer to buy from the official channels with this money.
There are three grades of information.
Basic information is free.
Advanced information costs between 1 to 5 Soul Crystals.
Top information costs 1000 Contribution Points and above!
‘Holy Light Master Sacrifice Windsor’
‘Introduction: This hero first appeared eighteen years ago at the festival. He has extraordinary Holy Light power, rich knowledge, and has the hero talent of ‘converting qualified people into soldiers’. Recruiting Holy Light Master Sacrifice ‘Windsor’ is equivalent to continuously cultivating Nun soldiers.’ ‘Disadvantage: Hero Windsor seems to have the power to see through people’s hearts, only those pure and innocent have the opportunity to recruit this hero.’ ‘Recruitment difficulty: Very high’
‘Detailed Information & Specific Recruitment Intelligence: Please pay 1000 Contribution Points to buy (your balance is insufficient).’
‘Liuyun SwordsmanYa Ke’
‘Introduction: This hero has deep sword skills, owns his sword intent, and has extremely strong individual combat power…’
‘Briefing: The hero likes alcohol and swordsmanship discussions. Only those with excellent sword skills have a chance to catch his eye.’
‘Recruitment Difficulty: High’
‘Information Fee: 1500 Contribution Points’
‘Amber Witch Rong Lin’
‘Dragon Hawk Knight-Battle Hawk’
‘Great Arcanist-Blaze’
The officials have a great amount of information, all obtained from the lords at various Hero Festivals.’
The harder it is to recruit a top hero, the richer the information about them. Some of this hero information appears in ‘grey (not available for purchase)’ status, this is because it has already been ordered by others and so a second copy won’t be sold.
“Hero recruitment, mainly a matter of catering to their preferences. It is said that some lords started preparing from a year ago, just to be able to catch the notice of an ideal hero.”
Emmmm, Mu Yuan stroked his chin, this is something he can’t do.
Forge the iron while it’s hot, hero recruitment does not set a combat power standard, but ultimately it depends on the individual’s overall level.
Talent, territory, army units, buildings, environment, territory citizens…
These are the most important.
“Wangba Territory, Shen Lei Territory, and other top-ranked second-generation lords may have already upgraded their territories to level two.”
Mu Yuan doesn’t have the channels or wealth of the second generation, but he doesn’t want to fall behind either.
It’s not only because of the Hero Festival, after upgrading the territory, numerous miracle buildings can also be upgraded, which will significantly enhance the strength of Tianyuan Territory.
After the upgrade, the rewards dropped down by nature would enable Dead Bone and Duo Lai, who are currently only at first-order level 8, to rapidly push for elite-level.
However, Tianyuan Territory still lacks one condition..
