Mission Complete!

You Die, I Live.

This is the name that Lao Miao Miao gave to her ability.

When she first enrolled, Lao Miao Miao was already at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Her high level of cultivation made her stand out among her peers, and she was the object of envy and emulation by her classmates.

However, at that time, she lacked confidence in her own abilities.

Even though she had reached a level where she could break through to the Heart Refining Realm, she did not show any inclination.

Although she was once called a child prodigy and genius because of her extremely high spirituality, as her realm continued to improve, the unbiased Lao Miao Miao gradually faded into obscurity in everyone's eyes.

The mainstream view in the cultivation world is that no matter how outstanding you are in the Foundation Establishment stage, if you cannot break through the Mind Condensation, you are basically no different from a waste.

Heart Refining Realm is not just about gaining abilities. Reaching this level will lead to a deeper understanding of primordial energy and improve its efficiency. Even without using the ability to Mind Stillness, one's ability to Foundation Establishment will be enhanced.

Even if one's talent for the Heart Refining Realm isn't high, having the ability to cultivate is better than having none. Theoretically, aside from the abilities of the Mystic Faction, everyone can cultivate the basic abilities of other schools. However, the talent differences between different schools are huge. A school that isn't suitable for one might take ten or eight years to cultivate, but not make the same progress as someone else in one or two months.

"No time to rest!" Lao Miao Miao shouted, "Ye is facing a monster alone!"

But all of this is predicated on you reaching the Heart Refining Realm. After enrolling, Lao Miao Miao consulted professors from various schools of thought and tried every possible method, but she still couldn't find any signs of breaking through to the Mind Condensation Realm.

Looking at Lao Miao Miao again, she had transformed from a young girl into a frail old woman, barely able to stand. However, after her opponent fell, her lost Life Energy was replenished, and her appearance recovered at a visible speed.

"Could it be cold already...?" Zheng Ji said, pursing his lips.

Lao Miao Miao broke through to the Heart Refining Realm without any warning!

The reason she hadn't shown any bias before was because her abilities belonged to the extremely rare and Mystic Faction.

To complement her abilities, she exchanged a Noble Phantasm from the academy that could replenish her Life Energy. This is one of the benefits of the official system; while the rewards from Chaos Mission are unpredictable, a large and reliable platform allows you to find the Noble Phantasm that best suits you.

"He can definitely hold on!" Cui Zheng Hai breathed a sigh of relief. "If the rumors on the forum are true, then even if he's not at his Peak, he's definitely First-class Expert! Even if he can't win, he won't lose so easily! Let's go support him quickly!"

"Finally, we've taken it down..." Zheng Ji breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the ashes on the ground. Cui Zheng Hai, who was standing to the side, also put away his dagger. The effects of the drug had worn off, and he was quite exhausted, panting heavily as he tried to recover. As for Zhu Sanyang, he was already very weak, but he had just taken some supplements, and his complexion had improved considerably.

"Quick, attack it, weaken its life force!" Lao Miao Miao said, popping a pill into her mouth. As she swallowed the pill, the wrinkles on her face smoothed out, and her hair began to turn from white to black...

Just when she had given up and thought she would waste her life in the Foundation Establishment Realm, one night during her first winter break, while she was cultivating normally, she suddenly felt an abnormality in the flow of her Qi. Following this abnormality, she guided her Qi, and a completely new realm appeared before her.

Then they remembered they had another teammate. This monster—even with all four of them working together, it was so difficult. And what about the night...?

A creature's vitality is basically only linked to the strength of its physical body; it either has a huge size or extremely strong Root Bone.

But now, seeing that she can't suppress her opponent, she has no choice but to use her best skills!

"What's going on? Are they still fighting?" The group quickened their pace and soon came across a bizarre scene.

The four immediately chased after the direction where Luo Jun and "Du Jincai" had disappeared. They hadn't gone far when they heard a series of loud explosions ahead.

However, the effects of the elixir were only temporary, and before long, she regained her aged appearance.

The effect of this ability is very simple, yet extremely powerful: it causes aging!

By planting "Aging Factor" in the target's body, the Aging Factor will continuously absorb the target's Life Energy, causing the target's vitality to decline, which manifests on the outside as aging!

This move, once it penetrates, can almost completely ignore the target's cultivation level and directly affect their life essence. The only way to resist it is to rely on one's abundant life force.

Zheng Ji and Cui Zheng Hai also realized the danger of Lao Miao Miao's move, and took advantage of this time to continuously attack the monster. The monster, having its Life Energy drained, was not only weakened but also suffered immense pain. Unable to defend itself effectively, it finally succumbed to its draining power after several minutes, turning into ashes...

Therefore, in order to maximize the effect of this move, Lao Miao Miao has paid special attention to cultivating her Body Refinement Realm, Body Refinement Realm has now reached the fifth level. It can be said that if a normal human were hit by this move, they would almost certainly die, and there is no chance to use it in ordinary practice and sparring. And when facing those powerful monsters, she would have to bear the risk of death, so she would not use this move lightly.

Such a powerful ability comes at a price: when it is used, Lao Miao Miao herself will also be implanted with an "Aging Factor". After the skill is activated, both parties will have their Life Energy drained, but as the caster, the amount drained from herself is far less than that from the recipient.

Once this skill is used, it cannot be stopped until one side is drained and dies. The surviving side will have all the drained energy returned and will be restored to its original state. If injured, the survivor will also gain a portion of the deceased side's life force to heal themselves.

Dozens of fully armed Undead Soldier, led by a crowned Grand Lich, were besieging the monster that "Du Jincai" had transformed into.

The monster is in a rather pitiful state now. When it abducted Ye, it should have grown four arms, but now it only has one left. It also has many hideous wounds on its body, and one of its legs seems to be injured and not very functional.

Looking around, outside the encirclement of the Undead Soldier, three red mechanisms stood.

As for Night... he is currently sitting on a blue mechanism, legs crossed, watching from afar as the undead legion besieges the monsters.

Even though it was severely injured, this monster was still incredibly strong and powerful. The attacks of the Undead Soldier were always repelled by its remaining arm. Sometimes, the monster would even charge straight at the Grand Lich, who was its leader.

At this time, Ye would wave his hand, and a red mechanism would shoot out a fireball, interrupting the monster's attack rhythm.

"What's going on?" The group was stunned... Zheng Ji swallowed hard. "If I'm not mistaken, it looks like a military training exercise?"

Noticing their arrival, Luo Jun subconsciously retracted his crossed legs, jumped off the Water Healing Construct, and resumed his cool demeanor.

"Are you injured?" He noticed that the group seemed to be in poor condition and casually tossed out a Water Healing Construct.

"It's nothing serious, the monster has been taken care of." As soon as Cui Zheng Hai finished speaking, he felt the comfort of being enveloped in warm mist, so he didn't refuse.

"What's going on here?" Lao Miao Miao asked, pointing at the monster that was being attacked.

"Oh, my newly acquired treasure, let's practice it." Luo Jun said, and with another wave of his hand, a fireball blasted the monster to its knees.

"You..." Lao Miao Miao was speechless. "Do you know how worried we were about you? We were afraid you'd encounter something terrible while facing the monster alone, so we rushed over without even resting, and now..."

"This thing..." Luo Jun pointed at the monster that had just gotten up. "What's there to worry about..."

He then realized that perhaps there was a difference in strength between the two monsters, and he had picked the weaker one?

"Alright, since you've finished on your end too, then we won't keep you any longer..."

As he spoke, he drew his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, leaped into the battle formation, and beheaded the monster.

As the monster's head fell to the ground, the dark purple space began to collapse, and everyone returned to the previous treasure vault.

The place was still filled with opulent gold and silver treasures, with five Treasure Chest Blind Box placed in the center, waiting for them to choose.

This time, there was no barrier to stop them, and they easily walked up to the treasure chest, but no one reached out.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Cui Zheng Hai said, "Ye, Miao Miao, you two choose first. We were able to complete this mission thanks to your combined efforts."

"Brother Cui is right..." Zheng Ji admitted somewhat embarrassedly, "I've been more of a hindrance than a help the whole way, I'm really sorry. You all go first, I'll be last..."

Luo Jun sighed inwardly. These were blind boxes anyway, so what difference did it make who came first? He glanced at Lao Miao Miao, who smiled and gestured for him to proceed.

Then I shall respectfully comply.

Activate the Dice of Heavenly Secrets!

Win Legendary Blind Box!

The two pairs of dice spun simultaneously, eventually settling on 86 and 66 respectively.

With a one-in-five chance, it's amazing how easily it succeeded. I have to say, the combination of Level Seven Luck, Double Insurance, and Point Correction is incredibly effective. If there were also Intermediate Point Correction, the effect would be even more terrifying!

While it may seem like only a one-in-five chance, with the addition of three skills, the success rate exceeds sixty percent!

Luo Jun was increasingly looking forward to the Advanced Point Correction at level 50 and the second powerful skill at level 60.

With dice as the base, Luo Jun randomly picked a treasure chest. After drawing it, the treasure chest turned into light and disappeared. At the same time, the settlement information came to his mind.
