Chapter 63: Chapter 62 Red Clouds Cover The Sky_l

Stepping up from the apprentice to the professional level does not mean learning new skills, but the breakthrough itself represents a qualitative leap.
From strength, speed, to spirit, energy limit, and its application.
Ordinary soldiers can’t use any energy at the apprentice stage and the energy in their body is pitifully scarce. However, after stepping into professional level, with a bit of practice, they naturally learn how to attach and exercise their energy.
Soldiers at this stage possess Shattering Making Power, moving faster than a bullet within seven steps, and outside the seven steps, they are not necessarily afraid of bullets.
If equipped with high-quality gear, even handguns and rifles can hardly threaten professional superpowers.
This marks the preliminary departure of the soldiers from the mundane and
stepping into the extraordinary realm.
This is an extremely important watershed!
Only players who possess professional soldiers can genuinely call themselves veteran players. As for some who have wasted two or three, or even four years and have still not achieved professional level power, they are nothing but old chickens in the eyes of others.
Before breaking through, Duo Lai was already full of energy. Now, its whole body is boiling with energy, and it naturally learns some exquisite ways to use
!!..
it.
“Come, let me see what has changed.”
Mu Yuan came up and pulled Duo Lai’s plump and soft body. Thanks to his spiritual link talent, he could vaguely feel that Duo Lai’s body was elastic and soft, frozen solid.
So, what next?
He looked at Duo Lai, Duo Lai looked back at him.
“Duo Lai… No jido guji!”
It can also speak the language of Xuan Country now. But if Duo Lai could just explain everything verbally, it wouldn’t be Duo Lai anymore.
It does not speak, but it does.
“Guji~”
It extended an arm, which enlarged into a giant one within the blink of an eye
and cast a large shadow.
In an instant, Duo Lai sucked in a large breath, making its body inflate like a small hill, then kept shrinking, started shrinking until it was only as big as a basketball.
It was very unnoticeable.
Its talents and skills had not changed, but the limit of their application had significantly increased.
“Guji-!” (And there’s more to it!)
It bounced to the edge of the territory and instantly stretched out a giant palm.
The next moment, a surge of white energy covered the entire palm, transforming into an even larger palm print. With a forceful slap from Duo Lai, the giant palm print slowly pushed out, smashing into a lone boulder not far away.
It easily reduced the boulder to rubble.
This move was flashy and not very practical. Nevertheless, Mu Yuan could see that Duo Lai was now full of energy and quite solid, capable of creating a deep palm print on the ground with a simple slap.
If it faced the Ogre again, perhaps Duo Lai could suppress it single-handedly.
Dead Bone fell silent.
Indeed, it wasn’t diligent or steady enough.
No, it must have the ability to carry this family!
Dead Bone left to cultivate in silence, taking Bone Two and Bone Three with it.
Dead Bone’s current level is LV8. Despite Mu Yuan buying a few treasures to aid cultivation, if Dead Bone wants to cultivate to level 9’s Great Perfection before breaking through, it needs at least six days.
Duo Lai is far ahead now.
Just after breaking through, Duo Lai is still in a period of rapid improvement.
Its talent and the Condensing Liquid Shaping skill can both be further developed.
Just like now, Duo Lai can already use the Condensing Liquid Shaping skill to transform itself into a bird. Yes, a bird created from blue liquid.
It’s also trying to create a human form.
To be precise, a mass of condensing liquid approximately in the shape of a human.
All the previous training plans Mu Yuan envisioned can now be arranged for
Duo Lai.
Like right now,
Duo Lai shaped an arm the size of a human and elongated it tens of meters away as if it was made out of rubber, holding in its hand a Rare Shame Shaman Wand.
It waved the wand.
Whoosh-!
A gigantic fireball, with a diameter of some three to four meters, came rolling towards Duo Lai.
The fireball was bright like a small sun, spreading massive light and heat that rendered the ground scorched.
However, Duo Lai then opened its mouth wide and simply inhaled.
Just like a dragon taking in water, the fireball was transformed into a fire vortex in a blink of an eye, was swallowed by Duo Lai, and then expelled as a faint ring of smoke.
It smelled of charcoal-grilled food.
It continued to train. For Duo Lai, such an exercise not only satisfied its gluttony but also made it stronger. It felt doubly happy, and this kind of training was a part earnestly taken care of in its schedule.
“Now that Duo Lai has stepped into the professional level, and General Dead Bone has professional-level combat power. Even if the roaming ogre in the wilderness is at a higher level, it wouldn’t be difficult to subdue it.”
He decided to intensify the search for the wandering ogre, as having a looming threat was always unsettling.
Just as the thought crossed his mind, the sky in the distance turned crimson. No, it wasn’t crimson clouds, but a mass of red fog formed by countless plumes billowing and then merging in the high sky!
A portent of something sinister!
The wild monsters seemed restless, and a band of kobolds who came from God knows where, charged towards the territory with their eyes shining bright red. Within half an hour, similar wild monster rushes occurred four times. Even though they were quickly put down, and the expansive red clouds began to thin, leaving streaks of red fog drifting about, nonetheless…
“This omen… it was mentioned in the game guide as a premonition that the Lord Trial is approaching, usually it starts appearing 10 days prior. As the trial approaches closer, the red fog omen becomes increasingly prominent.”
Yet today is only the 17th day since the game was launched.
There are still 13 days left until the start of the Lord s trial.
So what on earth… has happened?
Zhongdu of Xuan Country.
Several high-ranking members in the association hastily gathered in this bright and spacious conference room.
Soon, radiant light burst out from a few seats, casting out an imposing figure of woven light and shadow.
“The Lord’s Trial for this round will start early.”
“Yes, the premonitions have already appeared, and we may not have ten days left to prepare. The estimate may only be eight days.”
“Red fog omen has simultaneously emerged in the Twilight Plains, Scenic Highlands, and other regions, does this not imply this term’s Lord’s Trial will be happening concurrently?”
“That’s right, the time for newcomers to join the game in our country is not synchronized. It means that some regions’ beginners only advanced about two to three days, some may have advanced six to seven days, and it will be rather tough for these newcomers.”
However, what truly raised concern among the people present was the actual meaning represented by the premonitions.
— It’s coming early.
“The red fog premonition has also appeared on the side of the Star Alliance, demonstrating that the merger of the Lanxing World and the Eternal World is intensifying. Perhaps in the not-so-distant future, the entire Lanxing will be drawn into the Eternal World!”
“Indeed, the early warning system has already shown that 29 new border regions are about to form within the country. The rifts between the two realms will also increase, and the chaos… might be inevitable.”
“We used to withhold the information about the Chosen Ones and the Eternal World believing in the perception of the vast majority of ordinary people as an anchor to stabilize our Lanxing World. But now that we can’t stop the trend of Lanxing’s impending fall, we might as well start releasing information to cope with the imminent impact of disaster. Regardless, we had managed to win decades of time.”
The impact of the merging of two realms was not significant to the strong players or great Lords.
However, for ordinary and new players, without the bridge of the real world, the road of development is bound to be excessively challenging.
As the two worlds gradually merge, whether monsters are invading Lanxing, or cities on Lanxing are collapsing… it could be increasingly lethal to ordinary people.
“The martial arts curriculum has been implemented for many years, and the characteristics and weaknesses of common monsters like gobhns have already become widely known through games, movies, and other channels.”
“We have also established a sufficiently broad foundation in the Eternal World.” “You must believe that we have the ability and confidence to face the upcoming challenges..”
