Awakening Medium

Short spears and arrows rained down on the beast horde as if they were free. www.

This plunged the entire battlefield into further chaos.

Wild monsters below level 20 were practically cannon fodder in this chaotic battle.

Only wild monsters above level 20 could hold their ground on the battlefield for a while.

However, Huang Yu didn't mind that these monsters were low level.

These monsters were the most numerous and died the fastest.

As long as they were grazed or pierced by arrows and short spears, he would gain experience and Soul Crystals.

Just now, Huang Yu had thrown five Blazing Magic Bullets into the most densely packed area of wild monsters, instantly killing six of them!

It was a shame about so many of the corpses, though.

He couldn't retrieve them to his territory before they were torn to shreds by other beasts...

"Roar!"

The mountain monster roared, grabbing the unicorn monster that had stabbed a large hole in its abdomen, preventing it from escaping.

Then, the yellow patterns all over its body lit up, and earth element energy gathered in its palm.

Thwack!

A large number of rock spikes grew out of the unicorn monster's body.

It was pierced through and through, a truly bloody scene!

Releasing the dead unicorn monster, the mountain monster staggered back a few steps and roared at the other monsters that were watching intently.

Seeing the mountain monster's outburst, the other monsters dared not approach for a moment.

"Good opportunity!"

Huang Yu had been watching that mountain monster the entire time.

Seeing that the mountain monster was at its limit, he immediately shouted:

"Dilios, go and come back quickly!"

"Understood!"

Dilios had been itching to fight.

While it was safe to gain levels by finishing off monsters within the territory, it was unbearable for a hero like him to not be able to fight on the front lines!

The crackling sound of flames erupted.

Dilios activated the Scale Fang Set at maximum power, transforming into a fire dragon and charging out of the Huanyu Territory, landing in front of the mountain monster.

Many monsters saw Dilios and immediately swarmed towards him.

Boom!

Frenzied Flame erupted!

A large area of flames spewed out, turning the ground within ten meters of Dilios into scorched earth.

Taking advantage of the wild monsters being pushed back by the Frenzied Flame, Dilios turned and lunged at the mountain monster!

"Awoooo!"

The mountain monster roared in agony and prepared to counterattack, but a heart-piercing pain spread through its body.

Huang Yu flung out ice crystals emitting cold poison, sticking them onto the mountain monster.

A large portion of the mountain monster's body was already frozen by the Frost Scale!

"Sparta!"

Dilios held his swords in both hands, the Flaming Roar state erupting with a massive amount of flames, which turned into a powerful thrust.

Pushing him forward like a rocket, he plunged into the mountain monster's chest.

The tattered Stone Armor could not withstand the sharp fangs.

Dilios's sword directly pierced through the mountain monster.

Surging flames erupted within the mountain monster, instantly turning its internal organs to charcoal.

Dilios's momentum did not decrease in the slightest.

He pushed through the mountain monster's corpse and charged into the Huanyu Territory!

Gurgle~

Dilios pulled out the Thorned Fang, and the mountain monster fell backward powerlessly.

The two large holes in its chest looked utterly shocking.

[Lord gained 1920 experience points and 180 Soul Crystals!]

[Congratulations, Lord, you have obtained a Skill Book. Please check your inventory!]

Abundant energy surged into his body.

Huang Yu felt that he would be able to reach LV10 soon!

LV10 was indeed the first major milestone for a lord.

The experience required was almost more than LV1 through LV9 combined!

A golden light illuminated beside him.

Huang Yu looked and saw that Dilios had also leveled up, reaching LV9!

"Lord, please permit us to go out and battle!"

After leveling up, Dilios was clearly unable to contain his desire for combat.

Along with the Spartan Warriors around him, they were eager to fight.

The previous clean-up battles had raised their levels to LV7.

Their strength had significantly increased!

Huang Yu glanced at the monsters outside the territory.

The highest-level monster currently was that white wolf.

Besides it, there was also a steel-maned wild boar and a manticore, all monsters above LV30.

The remaining monsters were all below LV30.

"Take this with you. You are only allowed to fight within 50 meters of the territory!"

The 50-meter distance was the maximum range Huang Yu could provide support from.

In case of any accidents, the Spartan Warriors would have enough time to retreat back into the territory.

Taking the Mystic Tortoise Shield that Huang Yu handed over, Dilios was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Lord."

Huang Yu had no intention of going out himself.

As a mage, he naturally had to stand in a safe position to cast spells.

The Mystic Tortoise Shield was a Rare Grade equipment recently forged by Cang Yun.

Its value was comparable to the Thousand Silk Bow.

It was perfect for Dilios to use.

After forming their ranks within the territory, the forty-five Spartan Warriors marched grandly onto the battlefield.

They immediately attracted the attention of many monsters.

Among them was the white wolf whose subordinates Huang Yu had slaughtered.

"Roar!"

The white wolf bit off its opponent's neck in one bite.

Its white fur was dyed a fresh red.

Seeing the Spartan Warriors emerge from that detestable protected zone, the white wolf let out an angry howl.

A large number of wind blades gathered around its body and shot towards the Spartan Warriors.

Dilios, protected by the Mystic Tortoise Shield, charged at the forefront.

The Spartan Warriors behind him were not to be outdone and charged fearlessly towards the beast tide.

"Stone Armor Technique!"

A hazy yellow light enveloped the Spartan Warriors.

As the light disappeared, each Spartan Warrior was covered in a stone armor formed from condensed earth element.

This was a skill that had just dropped from a mountain troll.

[Stone Armor Technique]

[Grade: Rare]

[Description: Condenses earth elements to form a stone armor on oneself or other targets, to defend against enemy attacks. The condensed stone armor has no weight and does not affect movement.]

[Note: Illegal professionals cannot learn this Skill Book (Lords are not subject to this restriction)]

Bang, bang, bang!

The Wind Blade vanished after shattering the Stone Armor.

The Spartan Warriors didn't even move a muscle.

However, after casting this Stone Skin Technique, Huang Yu's internal energy was finally depleted. He couldn't use magic for a short period.

"Los Adio! Los Adio! Vol..."

Musa's war chant began.

With Dilios at the forefront, the Spartan Warriors charged into the monster horde.

In an instant, blades flashed, and flesh flew. The entire Spartan Battle Formation acted like a precise killing machine.

[Lord gained 72 experience points, 7 Soul Crystals!] [Lord gained 85 experience points, ...] [Lord gained...] ...

A series of system prompts appeared. Huang Yu continuously gained a large amount of experience and Soul Crystals. Finally, Huang Yu felt a sense of saturation in his energy. This was usually a precursor to leveling up. However, this time, no golden light appeared on Huang Yu. Instead, a system prompt arrived!

[Prompt: The Lord is about to break through to Tier 2. Please provide an Awakening Medium to meet the promotion requirements!]

"Awakening Medium?" "What is that?"

Huang Yu was completely bewildered.

[The Lord can use any material as an Awakening Medium.] [However, the Lord should know that the higher the grade of the Awakening Medium, the stronger the talent awakened after the Lord's promotion to Tier 2 will be! Furthermore, the awakened talent ability is closely related to the nature of the medium!]
