Chapter 257: Chapter 228: The System of a Powerful Nation (3K)_1
“How much do you think the generals of the Tianyuan family will improve?” Outside the Pure Soul Source Pool, the waiting Lords amused themselves in idle chit-chat.
“Tianyuan seems to possess three Epic Tier Generals, their potential could make them absorb the power of baptism quite efficiently.”
“Yeah, the same baptismal power acting on them might make them rise two or three levels higher than us.”
Two or three minor levels might not seem like much, but they could save several months of time.
Who wouldn’t envy that?
Besides,
During the selection battle, the Epics such as the Frost Giant Dragon were already so powerful. After leveling up, to what extent will their power increase? It’s hard to imagine!
Luckily, in the Dragon Court competition, Tianyuan is no longer an opponent but a reliable teammate.
Just think about it and you will feel at ease.
However, as New Star Lords, the strongest of the new generation, they won’t form the disgraceful thoughts of relying on others to win. The most reliable thing is their own power.
They are just longing for how much their generals will improve.
A significant increase in the levels brings a considerable improvement in combat power.
Before the baptism, compared to the other New Stars in the selection battle, they were only slightly stronger, but after the baptism, this gap will widen significantly.
After the Dragon Court competition, they will almost have the power to step onto the stage of Tai Xuan.
They will no longer be newcomers, New Stars.
They will be strongmen.
They can resist the tide of monsters, hold up the banner of war, and explore and discover the world’s mysteries.
They will step into a broader world.
Lord Youshan had the highest expectations.
Tianyuan has Epics, he also has Epics, and the Lord of his Roushan is the highest-level Epic.
“After the baptism, can the Lord of Roushan reach the Fourth-order Peak?”
Youshan shook his head, “But there is no doubt that the Lord of Roushan, who is now at the mid-third-level, will certainly step into the Fourth-order, or even reach the mid-Fourth-order.”
Even if he reaches the Fourth-order peak, the Lord of Roushan, who has not yet figured out his domain, cannot step into the realm of legend.
Moreover, even if he possesses both domain and Light of Will, he has to take time to polish his ‘Body Beyond Limits’ to truly tap into his potential.
Furthermore, breaking through to the legendary realm takes time, it can’t be achieved with a snap of the finger.
Even for beings like the Lord of Roushan, who is of Epic Tier and has memories and inheritances from previous lives, it takes one to two years of polishing at the Fourth-order peak before it has a chance to attempt a breakthrough.
And other epics, like the Lord of Roushan, who inherently have levels, are very few.
Most of them are probably only Second Order Elites or Third Order Generals.
He believes that with the power of the Lord of Roushan, even if he encounters the top strongmen of Yongxing or Shen Mu, he has the ability to fight and win. However,
There might be more than one or two Epic strongmen in Yongxing or Shen Mu.
In the Pure Soul Source Pool, Lord Shepherd’s cells were jumping and his soul was filled with joy.
So were Dead Bone and Isloa.
Soon,
“Boop ”
The Perfect Breakthrough Stone held in Dead Bone’s hand shattered. Just after rising to the Grand Perfection of the Second-order peak, it easily stepped into the Third-order with the help of the Perfect Breakthrough Stone, and its level continued to climb like a bamboo shoot after a rain.
The speed did not slacken at all.
The Perfect Breakthrough Stone was something Mu Yuan had prepared long ago.
Without using this breakthrough material, it would still naturally break through under the baptism of the Soul Source Pool, but would undoubtedly waste some of the power of baptism.
They were racing against time, competing for every resource.
Waste is shameful.
The momentum of the breakthrough was released successively in the vast basin-like Soul Source Pool, but these powerful atmospheres seemed less noticeable in front of the falling Light of Baptism.
Time was ticking away.
Even the second-tier generals like Bone Two, Bone Three, Bone Four, and Jun had entered the ranks of the Third-order Warlords.
At this time, the Light of Baptism began to weaken.
The splendid light that fell from the sky, like a large waterfall, gradually changed from a big river to a small river, and then to a stream.
‘Prompt: Hero-Dead Bone has been promoted to Third-order Level 8.’
‘Prompt: Hero-Isloa has been promoted to Third-order Level 7.’
The speed of leveling up gradually slowed down.
There’s not much baptismal power left!
A gleam of light ignited in Duo Lai’s eyes.
“Crack ”
In his hand, the second Perfect Breakthrough Stone turned into dust.
Viscous white fog surged and converged.
General Duo Lai did not bother to keep his humanoid form, turning back into a ball-shaped, blue jelly-like shape.
In this original form, his momentum rose again, stirring up a violent wind.
At this moment, General Duo Lai broke through two Big Levels and stepped into the Fourth-order realm!
The energy in his body was massive, rushing like a big river.
He believed that even if he hadn’t created any new killing moves; without a Light of Will or any other significant breakthroughs; without awakening new super skills;
Despite the increasing number of powerful younger generations in his domain;
He, General Duo Lai, was still confident of reclaiming the second place in Tianyuan!
Hands on hips.jpg!
The Light of Baptism no longer fell, but there was still a lot of white fog floating inside the Pure Soul Source Pool.
These white mists were a manifestation of the residual energy.
Upon seeing this, Duo Lai, no longer held back and opened its wide mouth.
Whoosh-suck-!
Just like a whale swallowing, it sucked in all of the white mist from all directions.
General Duo Lai was upgraded again, all the way up to the third sub-level of the leadership rank before it stopped advancing.
General Duo Lai was powerful!
By this time, General Dead Bone had just barely managed to reach the third order level 9.
The rest of the officers ranked between third-order level 2 and third-order level 8.
On average, the level had been raised by a big step.
If at this stage, the A-grade explorers of Shen Yao Empire stealthily broke into their territory, Bone Two could easily beat them.
After the light of baptism drew back, Mu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and silently felt the river-like energy within his body.
Half an hour passed, and there was a “ding” from the facility. The door slowly opened, and a golden path spread outwards.
Mu Yuan called back most of his officers to the Mark Space and only walked out with Dead Bone and Duo Lai.
“Next it’s your turn, Kong Ming.”
The city lord of Twilight Elephant said.
One in, one out.
Soon, the portal of the Pure Soul Source Pool was slowly closed up again.
Kong Ming, the city lord, looked around at the empty surroundings without a trace of white mist, touched his head in confusion, and said, “It seems like something is not right?”
The Light of Baptism quickly fell down again, and without pondering any further, he led his officers to absorb energy wholeheartedly.
The schedule today was tight.
In the morning, different squads took turns to enter the Soul Source Pool to get baptized and have their levels boosted. In the afternoon, they followed the City Lord of Twilight Elephant to another treasure location for the inheritance.
This was a legacy of skill.
It wasn’t top-notch.
Even if they could learn it, they could hardly apply it to combat immediately.
The legacy provided by Tai Xuan could be summarized as’ explosive type legacy’.
‘Notice: Your hero Dead Bone has learned the skills ‘Energy Enhancement’, ‘Strength Enhancement’, ‘Mental Enhancement’.’
Not everyone can learn the legacy.
However, out of the three legacies, most of the general level strongmen can learn at least one.
This is an explosive skill with no side effects that can’t be learned through selfstudy or teaching and can only be learned within the Land of Inheritance.
After learning, three marks appeared in their minds.
Red mark, white mark, blue mark.
They use the marks to charge energy in preparation for releasing it during a critical period of battle.
The increase is roughly equivalent to having an extra innate Excellent-Level equipment. It’s not very useful for General Dead Bone, but for Lu Liu, Seventeen, and Isloa, the more conventional officers, it’s indeed very effective.
It could be said that in just one day’s time, the officers of every family underwent drastic changes.
They could overpower themselves from yesterday with just one hand.
The Lords were filled with confidence.
However, the City Lord of Twilight Elephant shook his head and said, “Although your strengths are not bad, they are merely not bad.”
“You must understand that the history of large countries like Yongxing and Shen Mu is much longer than ours in Tai Xuan. They also have special places like the Pure Soul Source Pool, and even more so.”
Place for Bloodline Refinement!
Place for Will Concentration!
And so on.
But of course, large empires like Yongxing and Shen Mu have a more rigid hierarchy. Even though they have more treasured places, not all notable lords would have the opportunity to use them.
“Therefore, if you ever encounter the royalty of Yongxing, Shen Mu and other powerful countries, it’s only wise to avoid them. It’s not something shameful. A Lord should learn to judge the situation and choose his tactics.”
“Likewise, large countries like Yongxing and Shen Mu not only have their strength manifested in various facilities but also in their racial system.”
Like the six representatives of Tai Xuan.
Ba Long pursued the Dragon System, Shen Mao mainly utilized the Cat Soldier kind, Kong Ming stuck with the traditional human race class, Wuji concentrated on the sword class…
In short, they have all kinds of systems.
The Lord of Twilight Elephant said, “The Shen Mu Dynasty, as the name suggests, primarily operates with the Wooden kind. Their common series are ‘Decayed Wood Mage’, ‘Tree Sprit’, ‘Mu Tree People’, and so on. On the other hand, Xi Mo Empire, makes good use of desert types of soldiers, such as ‘Mummy Series’, ‘Sand Worm Series’, ‘Sand Scorpion Series’, etc.”
“This doesn’t mean they can’t recruit other kinds of soldiers, but when recruiting and training these series of kinds, they have unique advantages. They can obtain higher status soldiers upon recruitment or awaken more skills during training and upgrades.”
“For example, with the same Rare One-Star soldier kind, we usually only have one skill while they can possess two. This is due to utilizing their unique awakening techniques. And these kinds of techniques are only effective on a specific series of soldiers.”
“And what about Yongxing?”
Someone asked.
The City Lord of Twilight Elephant replied, “Yongxing naturally has its specialties in terms of soldier kinds, only they are not that easy to identify from their appearance.”
“Yongxing excels at the Star Series. Let’s see…”
He paused for a moment and said, “For instance, the One-Star tier ‘Star Archer’, which is a usual sight under the command of the powerful lords of Yongxing. As for the peak of the series, their higher rank soldier, the Epic Life ‘Arrow of the Pole Star’, it’s possible you might encounter.”
“Once encountered…”
He originally wanted to say to run.
However, it would probably be too idealistic to think of escaping in front of ‘Arrow of the Pole Star’.
“The royalties of powerful countries like Yongxing and Shen Mu must have at least two or three Epics, and this is the reason why I suggest that once you encounter them, just retreat. But if a retreat is unlikely, then fight to the end.”
Mu Yuan seemed thoughtful.
His Seventeen was an ‘Arrow of the Pole Star’. He really wanted to know: Compared to the Arrow of the Pole Star of Yongxing Empire, who was stronger?
The City Lord of Twilight Elephant had provided a lot of information marking more than a dozen large enemies to avoid if possible, including their national lords and the intelligence of their powerful generals.
Mu Yuan contemplated his choice of generals to participate in the war.
Soon, the day of the official start of the Dragon Court competition arrived, and he would set off for the Dragon Court.
