nWen Xiong smiled and said, “Everyone, the exploration is complete. It’s time to return.”
nAll the martial artists nodded.
nThe experienced mystic realm kings had all been suppressed. The door of light of the mystic realm could already be moved. Their goal had been achieved.
nEveryone left the Blazing Fire Plains mystic realm in a single file and saw Manager Number Two and Black bickering here.
nNumber Two said, “Why do you always embarrass me? I’ll fire you!”
nBlack: “Oh… gulp gulp gulp…”
nNumber Two said, “You’re fired!”
nBlack: “Oh… gulp gulp gulp…”
nNumber Two was speechless.
nBlack: “Burp… What? Got nothing else to say? As an employer, how dare you lose your temper at your bodyguard! I’ll punish you!”
n“Since you lost your temper today, you will double the general coins you give me every week starting tomorrow.”
nNumber Two: “…Don’t be like that. If I do this, I won’t even have enough for myself.”
nBlack said, “Then I won’t be your bodyguard. Number Three even talked to me secretly a few days ago, hoping that I’ll be his bodyguard.”
nNumber Two said righteously, “The friendship between us is as firm as a rock.
nThe alliance between us is unbreakable. How can it be affected by mere material things?”
nBlack: “Are you going to start making sense or what?”
nNumber Two said, “Fine, I’ll do as you say.”
nBlack nodded. “Dun dun dun… this is how it should be. How can the employer tell the bodyguard what to do?”
nEveryone :”
nManager Number Two coughed lightly and recovered his usual refined and steady image.
n“You’re all out? You guys were faster than I thought.”
n“Wen Xiong, if nothing unexpected happens, you should be the one who led the fighters to kill all the experienced mystic realm kings, right? I’ll reward you when we return.
nWen Xiong smiled helplessly. “Sir , it wasn’t me. It was Shield Ghost. He was the one who defeated all the experienced mystic realm kings.’ Manager Number Two’s eyes widened. “Are you joking?”
nWen Xiong was helpless. “I wish that I was.”
nLooking at the calm Shield Ghost, Manager Number Two suddenly laughed in satisfaction. “Good, good, good! Shield Ghost, well done!”
n“Black, close the door of light. Let’s return to the base!”
nManager Number Two waved his hand in high spirits.
nBlack walked to the side of the door of light and casually raised it. The door of light was held in his hand as if it was nothing.
nLin Xuan was deep in thought when he saw this.
nCould anyone take away the door of light? Or was it only a Seventh Realm
nmartial artist like Black who could?
nA day later, shocking news swept through the entire Germinal base.
nThe news stated that Wen Xiong, Shield Ghost, Lu Luo, and a few other Fourth Realm martial artists followed Manager Number Two to explore the new mystic realm, the Blazing Fire Plains.
nIn this exploration, all nine experienced mystic realm kings in the Blazing Fire Plains had been killed by Shield Ghost alone! This had created a historical record in the Germinal Organization!
nShield Ghost had defeated nine experienced mystic realm kings alone!
nThe refugees and wasteland reclaimers all wanted to find Shield Ghost and cozy up to him.
nHowever, even after searching the entire East Lake City, they could not find Shield Ghost.
nThe night was dark and the wind was strong.
nLin Xuan casually found an extremely ordinary ruined house in East Lake City.
n“I’ll use the Avatar Technique to release an avatar and see how dangerous the surroundings of East Lake City are.”
nWhen he had obtained the Avatar Technique previously, this skill was only rare blue. Back then, it could only create an avatar with 20% of the main body’s attributes for 30 minutes.
nHowever, he had already maxed out his Avatar Technique and increased its grade to peerless golden. Now, he could create an avatar with 100% attributes of the main body for a duration of 3 hours.
n“I’ll give him a set of mage equipment and also use this opportunity to try out the equipment and runes I obtained previously.”
nLin Xuan was filled with anticipation.
nThe peerless golden equipment blueprint he had obtained from Lu Luo was a magic book suitable for mages.
nName: Blazing Fire Codex
nLevel: Level Nine Fourth Realm
nGrade: Peerless Golden
nEquipment Requirement: Spirit 70
nEffect 1: Spirit 5.
nEffect 2: Magic power recovery speed 15%, fire magic consumption -10%, fire magic damage 60 %.
nAlthough this equipment was not a part of a set, its effect as a single part was still very powerful. Lin Xuan liked it very much.
nSoon, a figure wrapped in a black cloak walked quickly towards the north of East Lake City.
nOne kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers…
nLin Xuan’s avatar almost did not encounter any obstructions. All the demon beasts he encountered along the way were relatively weak, only at the First
nRealm or Second Realm.
nHe could directly blast them into ashes with small fireballs.
nFour kilometers, five kilometers, six kilometers..
nThe level of the demon beasts the avatar encountered here gradually increased, and Third Realm and Fourth Realm demon beasts began to appear.
nLin Xuan’s spells also changed from small fireballs to normal fireballs and Fire Ring Technique.
nHowever, thanks to the skills “Demon King of Fury” and the runes “Let the Flames Purify Everything” and “Scarlet Wave Rush”, his fire damage was extremely terrifying. Even some demon beasts with higher fire resistance could not withstand it and died after being attacked twice.
nLin Xuan threw spells all along the way. His magic power recovery speed was
nvery fast, and the magic power consumption from using magic was also relatively small. He could use one skill every few seconds, and it was awesome.
nThe places he passed were all charred.
nFinally, he arrived at a small ruined city.
nThis small city did not have any mystic realm doors, so naturally, no organization would be stationed here.
nWithout an organization, there would not be any refugees gathered.
nThis was basically a paradise for wandering demon beasts.
nLin Xuan casually walked on the street, looking at the abandoned shops on both sides and sighing.
n“This should be the White Water City next to East Lake City. It’s only an Earth
nRealm city and is very small.”
nThe mannequin in the window was wearing a black wedding dress.
nThe small cowhide moss advertisement on the telephone pole had not fallen off even after all these years.
nLin Xuan could not help but wonder what kind of glue was used to secure this advertisement. Why was it so firm?
nHe also saw that the bookshop was selling supplementary books related to the college entrance examination. There were all kinds of such examination books. Even now, he could still see the prosperous civilization of that era decades ago.
nRoar!
nA shocking beast roar suddenly sounded.
nLin Xuan looked up and saw a ferocious tiger more than six meters long appear at the end of the street.
nIt was a level six Fifth Realm demon beast, the Hanging-Eyed Tiger.
nHe did not know which mystic realm it came from.
nThe ferocious tiger suddenly pounced over, and a fishy wind enveloped Lin Xuan’s face.
nLin Xuan stretched out his hand, and a huge fire ring suddenly appeared, repelling the Hanging Eye Tiger far away.
nThe fur on the latter’s body was immediately ignited.
nLin Xuan stretched out his hand again, and a one-meter-wide fireball quickly condensed. Suddenly, it pierced through the Hanging Eye Tiger, which was still in midair with nowhere to go, and a huge hole appeared in its abdomen.
nPieces of flesh flew and blood rained.
nThe fireball did not lose its momentum as it directly blasted apart a rusted bus in the back. It also hit the bookshop that contained all the college entrance examination guidance books and shattered all the glass. After burning a large number of books, the fireball disappeared.
nLin Xuan casually picked up an ordinary white equipment dropped by the
nHanging Eye Tiger and threw it into the consciousness space smelting table.
nSeeing this shocking destructive force, he nodded in satisfaction.
n“Even a fireball can cause such damage. If I obtain a stronger fire spell, won’t I be able to casually blast a building into the sky?”
nLin Xuan was planning to release a few more fireballs to satisfy his desire to destroy.
nAt this moment, his skill, “Perception”, was activated and he suddenly discovered that someone was approaching within a hundred meters of him.
n“Someone’s here. I’ll put the equipment into my consciousness space and remove my avatar.” Lin Xuan immediately removed his avatar.
nHis avatar instantly disappeared without a trace as if it had evaporated into thin air..
