Shadowflame Chosen

Li Yao once made a comparison: the current ranks on Earth's supernatural side are roughly equivalent to the ranks of those in Lin Xiaowei's Main World —such as priests, templars, Death Knight, and so on.

However, at the same level, the combat power in the Main World is stronger than that in the Earth's transcendent side. After all, the abundance of psionic energy there is higher, and the research and application of psionic energy are obviously more in-depth. This results in the fact that the professionals there have more methods than those in the Earth's transcendent side, and their strength ceiling is also much higher.

The highest known level of the Earth's transcendent side is currently the seventh order.

Looking over there, the highest known level in the Main World is the Ninth Realm Boundary.

if,

Comparing mages to the transcendent side of Earth... is pointless.

In terms of individual strength, mages are superior to class-based warriors, but mages have never relied on individual combat power... Whether they are class-based warriors in the Main World or the extraordinary side of Earth, they are more like independent combat units.

Mages are different; each mage is like a combat module, and more mages can form a complex and ever-changing combat system.

For example,

Intermediate Rank Mage skilled in necromancy can command an undead army, Intermediate Rank Mage skilled in spellcasting can control a summoned army, and a mage skilled in alteration or alchemy will definitely have battle golem minions. Moreover, their subordinate combat units are no weaker than the mage themselves in terms of combat power, and may even surpass them in some specialties.

In this situation, what do you do? Fight for nothing, just run!

In the interdimensional wars against Purgatory or Hell, high-ranking mages only need to issue the strategic objectives and intended effects of the battle. The mages who receive the orders will then coordinate and allocate actions on their own, achieving their objectives in the way they are best at.

That's what makes mages so terrifying!

Therefore, it is meaningless to isolate mages and compare their combat power.

A single mage can execute tactical maneuvers, while several mages can form a strategic direction.

Li Yao is currently only at the second level, but with the help of the Azvik Mage Armor, Sauron, and many other spells and equipment, he is not afraid to even go head-to-head with a fourth-level alien.

Under the Ginkgo Tree at the entrance,

Feng Li looked up at the sky, and after her aura surged to a certain level, it suddenly transformed into a very solid transparent ripple that spread out, directly clearing away the continuous rain at the bar entrance, and a fresh scent rushed in.

Subsequently,

The overwhelming aura suddenly swirled and retreated back into Feng Li's body.

Big Sis Feng Li still for a moment, then turned to Li Yao at the entrance of the Lost Tavern and said, "I've broken through to the Fifth Order High Stage. I remember your kindness, and I owe you."

Li Yao pursed his lips. "You make it sound like you've taken advantage of me and then abandoned me!" he thought. He waved his hand and asked, "Where's Xiao Zhao? Is she awake?"

Just as Feng Li was about to speak, Zhao Yingluo walked out of the bar entrance.

She looked around in confusion. When she faced Li Yao, Li Yao noticed that one of Xiao Zhao's pupils was brownish-black, while the other was an apricot-yellow vertical pupil.

Her heterochromatic eyes added a touch of allure to her originally aloof and indifferent face.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhao said in Li Yao's direction, "Thank you."

Li Yao smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just did something insignificant."

"She was talking to me."

Sauron appeared behind Li Yao at some point and began to look at Li Yao with contempt.

Li Yao: "..."

never mind,

Considering he put in the effort, I won't hold it against him today.

Li Yao asked, "What changes occurred in her after you gave her those eyes?"

Sauron said, "My eye has some nerve tentacles that enhance her thinking speed. In addition, her eye can perceive shadows, necromancy, and the energy of demonic flames, which has given her some related abilities. I don't know the specifics, and there should also be some mutated abilities involved."

"That's impressive!" Li Yao looked at Sauron and said, "Since you don't use your eyes anyway, why don't you contribute the remaining one as well?"

Sauron: "... Get out of here!"

Damn it, I'm already a one-eyed cat!

We don't know how long it will take for that eye to heal!

Sauron turned and disappeared into the shadows, too lazy to bother with his brainless mage.

Big Sis Feng Li looked Xiao Zhao up and down and smiled, "You've gotten stronger?"

Xiao Zhao nodded. "Yes."

Big Sis Feng Li her hand. "Come on, let's go to the training ground and have a match. Little brother, want to come along?"

Li Yao was quite interested in this matter. He looked at Wei Dadong and said, "You'll be watching the shop today!"

Then, pulling Chen Xi Feng Li, they left Drum Tower Road and arrived at the military area where the Wallfacers' troops were stationed. The soldiers there were already used to Feng Li and his group, and they would salute Feng Li whenever they saw him.

In terms of military rank,

Wallfacers are often much taller than ordinary soldiers, but even inhumans must obey the orders of ordinary commanders in front of higher-ranking commanders.

soon,

We arrived at the drill ground.

Feng Li kept switching her hands as she wielded the Pudao. Feeling her arms again after so long, she was still a little unaccustomed to them. After a while, she turned to Li Yao and shouted, "Damn, these new arms are much worse than my old ones! I have to work them up again!"

Li Yao laughed, "Then don't use your new arms to grab the sheets."

Give your new arms plenty of practice, and you'll soon have Qilin Arm again.

Big Sis Feng Li chuckled mischievously, thinking to herself, "Little brother, you're getting a bit cocky! You even dare to tease your own sister!"

But now is not the time to retort. Feng Li looked at Xiao Zhao and demanded, "Ready?!"

Xiao Zhao's innocent look had faded considerably, replaced by a firm and sharp gaze. He nodded in response to the questioning.

then,

Big Sis Feng Li leaped into the air, wielding her Pudao with both hands and slashing down! A leaping, slashing attack!

Her first move was a fierce and deadly attack, but when she raised her Pudao, her front was wide open and she had no footing, making her look vulnerable.

But if she actually attacked those weaknesses, she would definitely be Feng Li's next combo! This was one of her usual tricks! So Xiao Zhao didn't fall for it at all. With a flick of her toes, she disappeared from her original spot and reappeared behind and below Feng Li. A short sword silently pierced out, layers of black flames clinging to it, exuding a sinister and vicious aura! Feng Li was now at the fifth level...

She could mobilize the power of heaven and earth to create Outer Force. In mid-air, she twisted her Pudao and swung her Outer Force rushed towards Xiao Zhao like a whirlwind of blades!

Xiao Zhao turned around again.

Appearing in the shadow of a pillar at the edge of the training ground!

She crouched silently, like a venomous snake ready to pounce at any moment! Feng Li, however, landed and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, I'm done fighting. You're no match for me. Hahaha, you're still as awesome as ever, invincible! But Xiao Zhao, you're definitely heading in the assassin direction without looking back."

Xiao Zhao thought for a moment and replied, "I was originally going to go for an assassin style, wasn't I?"

Feng Li was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Oh, really?"

She then looked at Li Yao and asked, "What should Xiao Zhao's skill be called now? Is there a name for it?"

Li Yao said on behalf of Sauron, "She is now Shadowflame Chosen."

Second update. I packed some things today, and I'm heading to the airport soon—I'm not sleeping tonight, I feel awful. Hope you enjoy reading.
