Awakening Medium

Short spears and arrows rained down on the beast tide as if they cost nothing.

The entire battlefield became even more chaotic.

Wild monsters below LV20 were practically cannon fodder in this chaotic battle.

Only wild monsters above LV20 could stand on the battlefield for any length of time.

But Huang Yu did not despise these low-level wild monsters.

These wild monsters were the most numerous, and they died the fastest.

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

Just now, Huang Yu had thrown five Blazing Magic Bullets into the densest area of wild monsters, instantly blowing six of them to death!

It was just a pity about all those corpses.

He could not reclaim them into his territory before they were torn to pieces by the beasts...

"Roar!"

The Mountain Monster roared and grabbed the one-horned wild monster that had stabbed a huge hole in its abdomen, preventing it from escaping.

The yellow patterns covering its body lit up, and earth-elemental energy gathered in its palm.

Pfft!

A large number of rock spikes grew out of the one-horned wild monster's body.

They pierced it until it was riddled with holes. The sight was extremely bloody!

After releasing the dead one-horned wild monster, the Mountain Monster staggered back several steps and roared at the other wild monsters watching it hungrily.

After seeing the Mountain Monster's outburst, the other wild monsters did not dare approach for a moment.

"Good chance!"

Huang Yu had been keeping his eyes on that Mountain Monster the whole time.

Seeing that the Mountain Monster was already at the end of its strength, he immediately shouted:

"Dilios, go and come back quickly!"

"Understood!"

Dilios had long been itching for a fight.

It was certainly safe to stay in the territory and finish off wounded enemies for experience.

But for a hero like him, being unable to personally enter battle was simply unbearable!

The crackling roar of flames rang out.

Dilios activated the Scale Fang Set at full power, transformed into a flaming dragon, charged out of Huanyu Territory, and landed in front of the Mountain Monster.

Quite a few wild monsters rushed over as soon as they saw Dilios.

Boom!

Frenzied Flame erupted!

A massive area of flames gushed out, scorching everything within ten meters of Dilios into a barren wasteland.

Taking advantage of the wild monsters being forced back by the Frenzied Flame,

Dilios turned and pounced at the Mountain Monster!

"Awooo!"

The Mountain Monster howled furiously and prepared to counterattack, but a piercing pain suddenly spread through its entire body.

One after another, ice crystals radiating cold poison were flung out by Huang Yu and stuck to the Mountain Monster's body.

More than half of the Mountain Monster's body had already been frozen by Frost Scale!

"Sparta!"

Dilios held his sword in both hands. The massive flames erupting from his Flame Cry state transformed into a powerful driving force.

Pushing him forward like a rocket, it drove him straight into the Mountain Monster's chest.

The shattered stone armor could not withstand the sharp fangs.

Dilios pierced straight through the Mountain Monster with a single sword.

Surging flames erupted inside the Mountain Monster, instantly burning its internal organs into charcoal.

Dilios's charge did not slow down in the slightest.

He forcefully rammed the Mountain Monster's corpse into Huanyu Territory!

Pfft~

Dilios pulled out his fangs, and the Mountain Monster's body fell helplessly backward.

The two huge holes in its chest looked utterly horrifying.

The lord gained 1,920 experience points and 180 Soul Crystals!

Congratulations, Lord. You obtained one Skill Book. Please check your inventory!

Abundant energy surged into his body.

Huang Yu felt that it would not be long before he could advance to LV10!

LV10 truly was the first major threshold for a lord's advancement.

The required experience was almost greater than the combined amount from LV1 to LV9!

A golden light lit up beside him.

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

"Lord, please allow us to go out and fight!"

After leveling up, Dilios was clearly having trouble controlling his desire for battle.

The Spartan Warriors around him were also eager to try.

Their previous finishing blows had raised all their levels to LV7.

Their strength had increased considerably!

Huang Yu glanced at the wild monsters outside the territory.

The highest-level one was currently the White Wolf.

Besides that, there were also a Steel-maned Boar and a Scorpion Lion, both wild monsters above LV30.

The levels of the remaining wild monsters were all below LV30.

"Take this with you. You may only fight within fifty meters of the territory!"

Fifty meters was the greatest distance at which Huang Yu could provide support.

In case anything went wrong, the Spartan Warriors would also have enough time to retreat into the territory.

Dilios was overjoyed when he accepted the "Mystic Tortoise Shield" Huang Yu handed him.

"Thank you, Lord."

Huang Yu naturally could not go out with them.

He was a mage, so of course he had to stand in a safe position and cast spells.

The Mystic Tortoise Shield was a Rare Grade piece of equipment forged by Cang Yun not long ago.

Its value was about the same as the Thousand Silk Bow.

It was just right for Dilios to use.

After forming up inside the territory,

forty-five Spartan Warriors marched grandly onto the battlefield.

They immediately attracted the attention of many wild monsters.

Among them was the White Wolf whose subordinate Huang Yu had killed.

"Awooo!"

The White Wolf bit through its opponent's neck in one bite.

Its white fur was dyed bright red.

When it saw the Spartan Warriors leave that detestable protected area,

the White Wolf let out a furious howl.

A large number of Wind Blades condensed around its body and shot toward the Spartan Warriors.

Dilios charged at the front, bearing the Mystic Tortoise Shield.

The Spartan Warriors behind him were no less bold, charging fearlessly into the Beast Tide.

"Stone Armor Technique!"

A hazy yellow light enveloped the Spartan Warriors.

As the light faded, every Spartan Warrior was covered in stone armor condensed from earth elements.

This was the skill that had just dropped from the Mountain Monster.

Stone Armor Technique

Grade: Rare

Description: Condenses earth elements to form stone armor on oneself or another target, defending against enemy attacks. Stone armor condensed from energy has no weight and does not affect movement.

Note: Non-professionals cannot learn this Skill Book. (The lord is not subject to this restriction.)

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Wind Blades shattered the stone armor and then disappeared.

The Spartan Warriors did not move in the slightest.

However, after casting this Stone Skin Technique,

the energy within Huang Yu's body was finally exhausted.

He could no longer use magic for a short time.

"Los Ado! Los Ado! Wol..."

Musa's battle song rang out.

With Dilios at their spearhead, the Spartan Warriors plunged into the pack of wild monsters.

For a time, blades flashed, swords glittered, and flesh flew everywhere.

The entire Spartan Battle Formation was like a precise killing machine.

The lord gained 72 experience points and 7 Soul Crystals!

The lord gained 85 experience points,...

The lord gained...

A string of notification messages came through.

Huang Yu continuously obtained large amounts of experience and Soul Crystals.

Finally, Huang Yu felt a sense of saturation in the energy within his body.

In the past, this had always been a sign that he was about to level up.

But this time, no golden light appeared on Huang Yu.

Instead, a notification appeared!

Prompt: The lord is about to break through to the second tier. Please provide an Awakening Medium to fulfill the advancement requirements!

"An Awakening Medium?"

"What is that?"

Huang Yu was completely bewildered.

A lord could use any material as an Awakening Medium.

But the lord should know that the higher the grade of the Awakening Medium, the stronger the talent awakened after advancing to the second tier! Moreover, the awakened talent's abilities would be closely related to the nature of the medium!
