After coming out of the fourth level, Mu Yuan took a deep breath, choosing not to continue his challenge.
He had to give Dead Bone and the others some time to recuperate.
Otherwise, even if they were in peak physical and mental condition during the challenge, some ‘fatigue’ would accumulate invisibly, which could hinder the maximum absorption of combat experience.
He gave everyone some time to rest and think, planning to challenge again in the afternoon.
“To successfully form a military spirit, I must send the same type of troops into battle. In the previous formation…! the presence of Duo Lai, Isloa, Lu Liu and others were a disruption to the Undead Legion’s formation of the military spirit. The next challenge must be undertaken by the pure undead.”
In the army, only Dead Bone, ‘Bone Two’ to ‘Bone Four’, Rakshasa, and HongYi could take the stage.
As such, the pressure would certainly be greater. If they hadn’t been too caught up in the earlier battles, tempering them at the third level would have been more appropriate.
And he only had eleven opportunities for challenge. Once used up, he would have to spend time recovering slowly.
He heard that the lords who reached deeper into the tower could not only get more challenges but also have various extraordinary rights.
But that was too far-fetched for him.
He just barely managed to get past the fourth level of the Red Tower… A pure newbie who might be able to pass the fourth level at most.
“The eleven chances for challenge can’t all be used by the Undead Legion. I have to spread them out somewhat. Lu Liu, Seventeen, and others also need to hone their combat skills. There are also some elite Treemen, elite from the Human Legion, and the likes of Jun.”
“Oh, including Sophia and the others. Although their positions are civilian, it is always good to master more combat skills. The way Daisy performed earlier was not very good, as a ‘superior’ she couldn’t even defeat a Baimian Shusheng with 320,000 combat power.”
Mu Yuan decided to mix the rest of the generals and elites into a ‘Miscellaneous Brand’ to enter the Land of Challenge for battle and tempering.
This included himself.
And so, the decision was made happily.
In order to form a military spirit as soon as possible, Mu Yuan enhanced the Undead Legion.
While keeping a few Evolution Points for backup, he quickly evolved 20 Skeleton Morticians and 20 Evil Spirits.
In this way, the number of ‘superior’ types in the loo-troop legion was more than half. With the presence of generals such as Rakshasa and Hong Yi, and under Dead Bone’s command, the formation of a military spirit was imminent.
In the afternoon, Mu-Graceful Gent-Yuan again stepped into the Land of Challenge and suddenly found that the number of lords here had increased from more than ten in the morning to more than thirty now.
“Here he comes, here he comes. He’s here.”
“The mysterious newbie has arrived, wanting to continue challenging the fourth level.”
“Bro, are you really a pure newbie entering the Secret Realm for the first time? How old is your territory?”
Mu Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly as he cupped his fists towards the old predecessors around him, “I am a pure newbie, and I will come here often in the future and will suffer the torment of the Land of Challenge.”
The lords gave friendly laughter.
Right, after breaking three levels consecutively as a newbie, next he would be stuck and tormented by powerful enemies. This is a process every lord would go through.
Usually, to proceed to the next level after reaching your current limit, it would take the lords at least one or two months of accumulation, maybe even half a year, a year, or two years.
Whether they can pass the level, most lords are very pressured.
That is, they can’t.
But this kind of battle that is not afraid of death can particularly hone skills and will. Even if they know they will be abused, the lords are still fearless and proceed bravely, suffering but enjoying it.
The newbie will also walk the same road as them.
Suddenly, he didn’t seem so distant and aloof as a favored one from above, but quite approachable and down-to-earth.
As Mu Yuan stepped into it, a dot of light appeared on the fourth floor of the Red Tower, flickering bright and then dim.
It was a light that was bound to go out, yet it was still stubbornly burning.
At some place deep in the wilderness.
This was a location many times deeper into the wilderness than the newbie territories, without any traces of people for miles around, yet there stood an imposing light blue fortress.
The fortress was more than a kilometer long and wide and over two hundred meters high. It rose vertically upwards like towering city walls, then began to slope towards the center, merging together. It looked like a gigantic blue box or a massive iceberg.
It was sealed tightly and was exquisitely carved.
On the two hundred meter-high city wall, there was a wave-like riveting of blue light. Huge, gem-like shapes embellished it, as if storing up massive amounts of energy.
Undoubtedly, it was a terrifying weapon of war.
There it stood, clean as itself, surrounded by uneven pits, dried and congealed blood, and the vaguely visible monster corpses buried under the nearby ground after some simple treatments.
With the fortress as the center, thousands and tens of thousands of meters forward and to the east, they could be seen everywhere.
It spread a chillingly cold breath.
But unlike the outside, the interior of the fortress looked exceptionally peaceful. There was a small sun presented by some means, hanging high in the sky, sprinkling warm sunlight.
Around the streets, many flowers and plants were grown, adding many lively breaths.
If not for the towering walls on the outermost edge, there would be no resemblance of a frontline fortress.
In the center of the fortress, on the transportation array platform with a diameter greater than ten meters.
Hum-
Hum—
As the blue light curtain, which was like an overturned big bowl, dissipated, a woman dressed in black and white armor walked out.
The woman was fierce yet dignified, with her chestnut long hair twisted into a bun at the back of her head, bangs falling on her forehead and sides. Her eyes also held a chestnut color, seemingly influenced by some kind of bloodline.
She was petite, but her curvy figure was impossible to hide even under a thick layer of armor. The armor was fitted, accentuating her slender waist. The lower part of her dress was a battle skirt that resembled a gown, falling down to her ankles, but was guarded with layers of armor. She also wore heavy gauntlets on her arms.
At one glance, one could tell she was a heavily armored warrior player who engaged in fierce combat.
This woman was none other than Shen Linglong, who, during her time at the Land of Challenge, insisted on being fully covered in armor, revealing only her eyes.
She was now in her everyday attire.
She strode towards the nearby Defender’s Mansion.
There were a few players inside the stronghold, all greeting her upon her arrival.
“General Shen!”
“Sister Linglong!”
In the eyes of others, Shen Linglong was an extraordinary Lord, brave and good at fighting. She held powerful combat power and was known as ‘General Long Wei’. She entered the Eternal World a little earlier than Han Yue, but it only took her a few years to become a Great Lord.
She was the pride of many contemporary lords, always looking up to and chasing after her.
To Han Yue, the Lord of Han Yue City, Shen Linglong was nothing more than a little fangirl.
Upon entering the mansion, her steps became much lighter as she quickly moved towards a familiar scent.
Right then,
In the study of the mansion, a cold, otherworldly woman leaned against the wall.
She wore a bright blue dress, tall and curvy, but regardless of who saw her, they wouldn’t pay attention to her graceful figure or her serene face, but her eyes that appeared to freeze the world.
Her eyebrows were like windswept snow and her hair a frozen river. Wherever she stood, even on the hottest summer day, everything would become cool and refreshing.
But now, the Lord of Han Yue City, who was admired and followed by countless people, was looking at an ancient book in her hand, her eyebrows puckering more and more, unable to stop herself from jumping up.
It was as if an explosive had been set off, shattering a layer of ice.
“I shouldn’t have studied these ancient divine letters!” she exclaimed.
Just as she was about to slam the ancient book onto the desk, she heard footsteps steadily approaching.
Liu Xiyue’s hand, which was about to slam onto the desk, stopped ten centimeters from touching it. She paused for half a second, then nonchalantly withdrew her hand and straightened her messy hair and clothes.
Looking serious, she lowered her head and continued staring at the book in her hands.
A few seconds later,
“Sister Cold Moon, stickyhug-!”
“No hug.”
Shen Linglong lunged forward like a flying roc but was blocked by two slender, fair fingers. She flapped her arms a few times in midair and ultimately landed on the ground in regret.
“Sister Cold Moon, are you studying ancient books again? You’re already so strong, and yet you’re still so studious. You truly deserve to be Sister Cold Moon. I can’t even start studying.”
She said admiringly.
Liu Xiyue tilted her neck slightly, smiling but not speaking.
“You’re here, so that means Tianyuan has entered the Land of Challenge, right? You really don’t have to come all the way here, you can just use communication tools.”
“No way, I should report something this important in person. And, Tianyuan is quite amazing.”
Shen Linglong confidently corrected.
Following that, she animatedly described Tianyuan’s progression. Although she could only observe the progression through an exterior light, she painted a vivid image as if experiencing the battles herself. Her storytelling was suspenseful.
“Right now, Tianyuan is on the fourth challenge. He’s likely honing his combat skills.”
When she finished speaking, she watched intently, but didn’t see much surprise on Sister Cold Moon’s face.
This didn’t make sense.
Liu Xiyue said, “I’ve said long ago that Tianyuan’s talent is not inferior to mine. Breaking through three levels is quite normal. However, future success is still uncertain depending largely on whether he can maintain his momentum.”
Yet, she was slightly surprised.
When she first faced the Land of Challenge, it was almost five months after she entered the world. From this perspective, Tianyuan was stronger than she was. However, the era was changing. This year had more crises and opportunities than before, so Tianyuan’s performance shouldn’t amaze her.
But, if Tianyuan could keep up this momentum, he might have a chance to compete for the Dragon Court Competition’s Tai Xuan representative position.
By then, the other ‘old friends’ seeing his performance would probably be astounded.
Thinking about this, Liu Xiyue was extremely excited.
‘Tianyuan, you better do well and not disappoint your sister.’
But, Shen Linglong was adamant, “Tianyuan will definitely be slightly below Sister Cold Moon.”
How could she prove this?
Shen Linglong wondered.
Shen Linglong was unable to figure it out.
Why not directly challenge Tianyuan to a fight, to gauge his skill techniques?
She was originally a battle enthusiast. Otherwise, she wouldn’t become Han Yue’s hardcore fan.
In her eyes, for Tianyuan to be able to overcome three challenges at his age, he must also possess extraordinary combat talent.
Thinking about this, she, too, was fired up.
