The Second Group

[Wave 17], [Wave 18], [Wave 19]

This is Su Luo's System Panel, which displays three waves.

Su Luo slipped into the Laboratory, placed her hand on the lab table, and Jingjing gazed into the distance.

The attack has begun.

Countless monsters appeared and charged toward the Tinder the instant they appeared. Ordinary matter was pushed aside by the extreme power and ionized by the extreme energy. Energy lights of various Attributes mixed with the torn matter, forming a Chaos storm.

Su Luo was facing over seventy level 9 monsters and one hundred and fifty level 8 monsters.

The energy fluctuations they gathered together surged like a tangible tsunami. The earth trembled beneath their bodies, and Su Luo's naked eye couldn't see them at all; the arena was filled with exploding gas and various lights.

They come in all shapes and sizes; some are as majestic as mountains, covered in shells of unknown material; others are as elusive as ghosts, shrouded in a dark aura; and still others cause the surrounding ground to melt as soon as they appear.

What awaited them was a Black Flame Domain Spread for several kilometers.

The deep, black flames, seemingly capable of swallowing even light, Burn Jingjing, like Abyss with its jaws wide open.

The monsters charging at the forefront, whether level 8 or 9, froze the moment they touched the black flames, feeling as if they would be stuck straight for life.

There were no screams. In the high-temperature flames of tens of thousands of degrees, there was no medium to conduct sound. Their bodies melted instantly upon entering their mouths, becoming nourishment for the Burn Black Flames.

The monsters were like straw harvested by an invisible giant scythe, silently Annihilation on their charge. A distance of several kilometers should have been covered in an instant for these powerful monsters. But under the shroud of the Black Flame Domain, this path became an insurmountable chasm.

Like moths drawn to a flame, they plunged one after another into that deadly Dark Domain, only to vanish into Extinction. In just about ten seconds, eighty percent of the suffocating Monster Tide on Su Luo's side was dead!

So Su Luo said they were stupid, they really didn't care about anything in order to attack the [Tinder].

Only a few monsters with special resistances or who knew how to flank the enemy managed to break through the Black Flames ' blockade, but they were all badly injured and their strength had plummeted.

Behind them, several monsters without bodies, pure souls, "slowly" floated over. They were much less affected by the physical heat and passed through the Fire Domain relatively easily.

But soon, a flame without temperature appeared out of nowhere and silently Burn on them.

[Heartfire]!

At the same time, Su Luo subtly moved her mind and applied a layer of "Ignite" to all the "survivors" around her who had managed to break through, treating them all equally. This was a double Burn of both body and mind.

While the Monster Tide was launching its fierce attack, Song Shige was not far behind Su Luo.

Looking at the Black Flames that had inexplicably ignited on his body, Song Shige was speechless.

What does it mean when the password says "a large area-of-effect (AOE) attack is placed on a teammate"?

He didn't possess domain skills that covered such a wide area, but his response was more direct and violent. Faced with an equally large monster army charging like an iron torrent, and an overwhelming barrage of energy breath, corrosive acid, and mental shocks... he simply took one step forward.

"Boom--!"

The palpable crimson killing intent, mixed with Song Shige's not-so-high level of Martial Will, was like a war scroll unfolding behind him, piled up with countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Behind him, a majestic and ancient phantom, seemingly forged from endless blood and bones, almost solidified into a projection. The overwhelming blood- Blood City light stirred up suffocating energy fluctuations, dyeing that entire area of the sky dark red.

Facing three overlapping waves of monsters at once increases the difficulty exponentially. The more monsters there are, the more complementary their attacks become, even if it's just instinctive coordination.

The attacks rained down, Song Shige ignored them completely. A blood-red blade of light, hundreds of meters long, was generated, carrying a sharpness and domineering power that could tear everything apart, and it pressed down on the area where the monsters were most densely packed in front of him.

At the same time, the phantom of Blood City emitted a burst of crimson light, blocking the overwhelming attack on [Tinder] and also suppressing some stealth monsters that were trying to avoid the attack.

They were greeted by a dazzling, Spread crimson...

How much is it for you?

Su Luo was holding two cards in her hand.

"Ten million two hundred thousand, and what about you?" Song Shige held three cards in his hand.

"Ten million three hundred and twenty thousand, that's outrageous." Su Luo tilted her head slightly.

"I never knew District Wars could be played like this! It feels like playing a hacked version of the game, it's so... awesome!"

Currently, it possesses approximately 23.82 million Tinder Shards.

If you follow the conventional approach—laboriously advancing through waves, carefully planning your card usage, and constantly guarding against ambushes and counterattacks from other teams—it's hard to imagine how much effort you'd have to put in, or how many terrifying waves you'd have to push through to accumulate such wealth.

Moreover, Su Luo calmly assessed that even with his and Song Shige's strength, it would be difficult for them to sustain themselves in a one-on-one fight to reach that kind of ultra-high wave that could theoretically produce such a massive amount of fragments.

Su Luo calculated that even if she fought the nineteenth wave normally, it would only drop around 200,000 Tinder Shards, which was a huge difference.

But this is a reward that everyone deserves.

"Finally, we'll farm the last batch of fragments." Su Luo said with a smile as she entered the [Tinder] space.

"This is the final stage of development. We'll be at full Continued Battle then, ready to dominate the entire field..."

"The twenty-fifth wave brought a qualitative change, with level 10 Elite monsters and an exaggerated environmental shift... Fortunately, the rewards were quite high: three cards and 2.2 million Tinder."

Yashan's seemingly ordinary soul hovered Jingjing above the [Tinder], like a detached observer.

In the distance, a colossal beast tens of meters tall was firmly bound by several powerful Forbidden Spells, unable to even let out a roar.

He casually manipulated the vengeful spirit's body, casting an Appraisal on the colossal creature.

The body receives the information from the Appraisal and then mechanically relays it to Yashan using the soul.

[Ravaging Pulse Pattern]

[Strength:?]

[Spirit:?]

[Constitution:?]

[Skill:?,?...]

It's all question marks. The body's Attributes are too low. Even after Yashan modified it, the body's spirit Attribute is only less than 19 points, which is not enough to even look at the Attribute panel of a level 10 Elite monster.

"Based on the previous growth curve, this level 10 Elite's Constitution Attribute is probably above 24 points..." A barely perceptible ripple appeared in Yashan's soul, "Truly astonishing numbers. The magical pets I spent hundreds of years cultivating were only about this much."

Even if this monster were placed in the Golden Age of the Yashan world, it would be considered an extremely powerful Conjuration.
