“It’s not Dragon Aura!”

Ji Ye, however, shook his head.

The Dragon Aura that he commanded, as its name suggested, appeared as an aura.

Also, the Dragon Aura was most intimidating and would automatically fight back when under attack. If the hero had defended himself with that, while the heavy weapons such as hammers and axes might have been fine, the light weapons such as swords and sabers would’ve cracked, and the arrows would’ve broken apart.

However, it appeared that the dragon-shaped light on the hero was only protecting him.

“Is it the Extraordinary Rank-7 protective True Qi?”

Wu Qiao stared at the silver-armored hero.

She had already leveled up to Extraordinary Rank-6 the previous day. She would be able to unleash her True Qi after another breakthrough.

Since the Eagle Men’s Soul of Civilization was Extraordinary Rank-7 in the first place, the hero might be able to create such a status with a dragon-related technique.

“Not exactly…”

It was because the Extraordinary Rank-7 True Qi could only be used to protect oneself, and the silver-armored hero’s dragon-shaped light was protecting both him and his horse!

As a result, the Yuan soldiers who attempted to attack his horse failed too.

“Is it because of the enhancement of the power of providence?” proposed Qin Yueyu.

It had been proven that the power of providence could block all forms of attack when the weaklings of the Eagle Men were hidden in their settlement core.

Also, during a ritual, the settlement core would provide the power of providence for the hero and suppress the enemy!

“It’s not the power of providence!

“This time, the power of providence has only suppressed the Yuan soldiers’ battle formation. Otherwise, even an Extraordinary Rank-9 hero couldn’t have fought a battle formation of a thousand soldiers in a head-on clash.

“This light feels somewhat similar to the Eagle Men’s ‘Battle Aura’ and looks like a combination of ‘Battle Will’ and ‘Dragon Aura’… It’s probably this hero’s talent ability…”

Ji Ye looked at the man and his horse who were covered in dragon-shaped light and moving towards the East King on the battlefield.

The crossed long spears of the Yuan soldiers, the sabers they slashed out while roaring, and the arrows that they shot from his back were all neutralized by the light.

The dragon-scale spear in his hand, however, was truly invincible. A Yuan soldier would collapse every time he waved the weapon. When he gathered his strength and performed a charged attack, a whole area of Yuan soldiers before him would fall!

He was only sixty meters away from the East King at this moment.

On the Land of Inheritance, the heroes had talents exactly like the players did.

The difference was that the players could use their talent actively while the heroes mostly had passive talents. Nevertheless, the talents of the top heroes were no worse than those of the players.

For example, the power and destructiveness of Wu Song’s first attack against a target were unparalleled, and Lu Zhishen could astonishingly hit a target that was behind defenses.

This hero, who was Perfect Transcendent in the first place, obviously had a more powerful talent, which allowed him to charge while surrounded by enemies without being scathed!

“I think I know who this hero is now…”

Thinking about that, Ji Ye put on a smile.

The hero was bold enough to challenge an offering that contained Transcendent power with a mere Extraordinary Rank-7 Soul of Civilization.

That required not just personal strength but also great courage!

Of all the heroes that were from Water Margin and the Han Dynasty, few had such valiance. Also, in light of the dragon-shaped protective light…

“Could this hero be…”

Not just Ji Ye, after the dragon-shaped light appeared, An Quan realized what was going on too.

He looked at the battlefield in the temple with excitement. As someone who worked in the game industry, he was no stranger to such Musou scenes!

“Zhao Yun!”

Guo Wei, on the other hand, simply called out his name.

His voice was slightly shivering because of excitement.

It was because this hero who was challenging a thousand Yuan soldiers to arrive at the Twin Dragon Mount fort was Zhao Zilong of Changshan!

Zhao Yun’s courtesy name was “Zilong1”!

Because of his courtesy name, Zhao Yun’s abilities were more or less related to dragons in novels, ballads, and video games.

In association with his magnificence when he fought a thousand enemies at great ease and killed more than a hundred elite soldiers of Yuan without being scathed, even though his face was still fuzzy and there were no poetic announcements to give any hint, his identity was very obvious!

“But considering Zhao Yun’s popularity, he should’ve been a Legendary hero, shouldn’t he?”

Some of the players were rather confused.

It was obvious that Zhao Yun was as popular as any top hero from Three Kingdoms.

He probably ranked first and even dwarfed Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao. Such a hero should’ve been a Legendary one, shouldn’t he?

“It’s all a matter of perspective.”

Elder Meng, who was relatively calm, stroked his long beard and remarked, “From the perspective of the real history, I don’t think Zhao Yun is a ‘legend’.

“In real history, Shu Han only had four top generals, and Zhao Yun was just the head of Liu Bei’s guards. He never really fought on the battlefield as he did in the novel.

“Although he was written in the same section as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao in Records of the Three Kingdoms, his achievements weren’t as great as the other four in general. So, Zhao Yun isn’t qualified to be ‘Legendary’ from a historical point of view!

“But of course, from the perspective of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and all its derivative fictions and games, Zhao Yun is definitely worthy as a ‘Legend’!

“From what we have learned, the real history of a species plays a more important role than fiction and movies, so Zhao Yun can only be summoned as a Perfect Transcendent hero. However, his potential and talent skill will be as good as a Legendary hero’s!”

According to the statistics of the Confederation Office, a hero’s strength depended on the preconceptions of the people who knew him, and his talent depended on his popularity.

The more popular a hero was, the greater potential his talent would usually have.

Wu Song’s unstoppable cut and Lu Zhishen’s remote hitting didn’t look as awesome as Gongsun Sheng’s cloud riding, but their skills apparently had greater potential!

Zhao Yun’s talent skill that could ignore all attacks was not something that any Legendary hero had.

Apparently, it was also why he was confident to accept the challenge when the Soul of Civilization to summon him was only Extraordinary Rank-7!

“However, unlike the player’s talent skill, the hero’s talent skill can only be used at a cost.

“Take Wu Song and Lu Zhishen for example. Their talent abilities depend on their inner strength. Zhao Yun must be consuming some kind of extraordinary power to use his talent too… and such power cannot last for long when he’s only Extraordinary Rank-7!

“That’s why he didn’t use his ability until he broke into the enemy’s battle formation… The final outcome of the battle would depend on whether or not he can kill the East King before the power that supports his self-protection runs out.”
