Invitation
(In the new month, An Hei will continue to work hard. Today, the protagonist's path to power begins. Please cast a few guaranteed monthly votes.)
The day after the Battle of Dota mission ended.
Li Wei leaned back in his comfortable chair, looking up at the dazzling starry sky outside the transparent ceiling. Behind him, there were several rows of seats, but they were all empty.
The Destroyer's City was flying at high speed. Although there was an endless sea of stars outside, there was no discomfort here.
Recalling what happened after returning from the mission world yesterday, Li Wei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After returning from the world of Dota, he received an 'invitation letter'. The letter was from the Kai Star Imperial Family, and it read, 'Please invite Destroyer #47 to visit the Star of Destruction'. When he asked the person sent by the Kai Star Imperial Family, they were also confused, only saying that the letter had appeared on the desk of the King of Kai Star the day before. The King of Kai Star didn't know what was going on either, but felt that it was of great importance, so he immediately sent someone to deliver it.
The "Destroyer No. 47" on the invitation undoubtedly refers to himself. Enclosed in the invitation was a black crystal, which the letter explained was the star map and proof of reaching the "Star of Destruction."
Originally, Li Wei didn't know how to use the black crystal, but when An Hei saw it, he asked for it and then pulled Li Wei into the Destroyer's City, placing it in a groove on a stone platform in a room.
An Hei had spent a considerable amount of time in the Destroyer's City, and in some ways, he was more familiar with Destroyer's City than Li Wei, its 'master'.
After the crystal entered the groove, it was firmly embedded by the mechanism. Then, a holographic image appeared on the stone platform. The image showed a magnificent star map with countless stars, forming a galaxy. Although it was just a holographic image, it presented a vast and boundless scene.
The moment the holographic image appeared, a notification popped up on Li Wei's Black Paper: "Location crystal initialization complete. Target: Destruction Star. Proceed immediately?"
Li Wei certainly wouldn't go immediately; even if he were to accept the invitation, he would have to wait until he was fully prepared.
As for whether this invitation was a trap or whether there was any danger, Li Wei had considered it. There was no doubt that the person who sent the letter must be incredibly powerful. After all, being able to infiltrate the Kai Star Imperial Family, which was full of S-level experts, without anyone noticing was quite remarkable. If such a person wanted to harm him, he could simply kill him directly; there was no need for these tricks.
Therefore, it's unlikely that this invitation is a trap.
Although the sender's purpose was unknown, there was no doubt that this invitation was only aimed at the Destroyer. Li Wei immediately thought of the previous 'Old Wei'.
Upon further reflection, something seemed amiss. If it were Old Wei, he could have simply brought the invitation with him last time; there was no need for this elaborate detour. But if it wasn't Old Wei, then who could it be?
Making wild guesses is obviously a very unreliable thing to do. The best way to know the truth is to see for yourself. So Li Wei decided to accept the invitation and go to the so-called Star of Destruction to see what he would find.
Having made this decision, all that remained was to make some necessary preparations for this trip. Li Wei had previously gained 10,000 experience points in the Battle of Dota, which was enough for him to upgrade one skill. Of course, the skills attached to his three Great Strength —Space Power, Dragon Power, and Behemoth's Power —would be slightly insufficient to upgrade with just 10,000 experience points. Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Wei chose to upgrade the skill "Myriad Sword Technique".
"Myriad Sword Technique, currently at level 1, requires 3000 experience points to level up. The next level will unlock the Sword-Transformation Doppelganger Technique, which allows you to consume true energy to transform into 100 sharp swords to attack enemies."
Li Wei felt that it was very cost-effective to upgrade the Myriad Sword Technique to level 2 with only 3,000 experience points. Just imagine, you can turn your true energy into sharp swords and use them continuously when you encounter enemies. As long as you have enough true energy, you can throw the swords at them for free. Even S4 level experts would probably be overwhelmed.
Therefore, Li Wei decisively upgraded the Myriad Sword Technique to level 2.
After reaching level 2, the Myriad Sword Technique no longer requires a physical sword; only a little true energy is needed to transform it into a hundred swords, piercing through the air to defeat enemies. The Myriad Sword Technique's attacks are extremely powerful, which is why Li Wei chose to upgrade this skill.
The upgraded Myriad Sword Technique has the following attributes.
"Myriad Sword Technique, currently at level 2, requires 5000 experience points to level up. The next level will allow you to further master the Sword-Transformation Doppelganger Technique, which can consume true energy to transform into 1000 sharp swords to attack enemies."
Upon seeing this attribute, Li Wei was taken aback. Then, gritting his teeth, he spent another 5,000 experience points, raising the level of the Myriad Sword Technique to level 3.
"Myriad Sword Technique, currently at level 3, has reached the top level and can be broken through to the ultimate realm. Requires 12,000 experience points."
This time, Li Wei was out of options. He only had a little over 2,000 experience points, still some distance from 12,000. However, to be fair, the Level 3 Myriad Sword Technique was already quite powerful. Li Wei had tested it; by simply diverting some of his true essence and forming a sword incantation, 1,000 longswords would appear around him. These thousand longswords gleamed coldly, and although they were formed from true essence, they were exceptionally sharp. Moreover, because they were Li Wei's own true essence, he could wield them as easily as using his own arms. At full power, the 1,000 longswords could instantly flatten a hill, demonstrating extremely formidable attack power.
With his advanced special skills at his disposal, Li Wei's confidence soared. However, he then encountered a troublesome matter that gave him a major headache. Upon hearing that he was going to the Star of Destruction, his companions, including Zheng Yutong, wanted to go with him, but Li Wei could not agree to it.
He himself possesses advanced special skills and the extraordinary ability of spatial manipulation, so even if he encounters danger, protecting himself shouldn't be a problem. However, while the others are considered top experts in the Earth Star Domain, they are nothing compared to the reincarnators from other star domains. If they were truly in danger, Li Wei wasn't confident he could protect them.
Therefore, Li Wei resolutely refused everyone's request. Under his insistence, Zheng Yutong and the others also gave up the idea. However, the resentment in the eyes of the women gave Li Wei goosebumps all over his body, especially the fat man's small, beady eyes, which made Li Wei want to go up and give the guy a good beating.
Perhaps because they were about to separate, Li Wei and Zheng Yutong spent a very 'wild' night together that night.
Sitting in his chair, Li Wei recalled last night's encounter, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied. Zheng Yutong had become increasingly wild lately, and he didn't know who she had learned it from. Recently, she liked to bite people during "that time." Imagine being in a blissful state while enduring the pain of those pearly teeth biting your skin—this experience of Pain and pleasure coexisting was enough to leave Li Wei with endless aftertaste.
The Destroyer's City had been flying for several hours. It was hard to imagine what kind of structure the Destroyer's City had that allowed it to fly so fast through the void. Li Wei couldn't help but admire his incredible luck in finding such a treasure.
Judging from the holographic star map, the Destroyer's branch city was flying at an extremely fast speed towards the location of the Star of Destruction marked on the star map, and it was now very close to the Star of Destruction.
After flying for about two more hours, Li Wei sensed that the speed of the Destroyer's City had begun to slow down.
"Have we arrived?" Li Wei looked at the holographic star map and indeed found that he had entered the range of the Star of Destruction.
Looking out, Li Wei could see a huge planet, at least ten times larger than his own Earth Star. Suddenly, Li Wei sensed several powerful auras approaching. Looking closer, he saw several streaks of light flying out from the planet at incredible speed, arriving in front of him in almost an instant.
Upon reaching the platform of the Destroyer's City, Li Wei saw the streaks of light, which turned out to be several people riding strange flying vehicles.
As Li Wei sized them up, they were also sizing Li Wei up. When they saw the enormous Destroyer's City, a look of shock appeared on everyone's face. Seeing that these people seemed to have no ill intentions, Li Wei simply looked at them without saying a word.
Perhaps realizing their lapse in composure, the group quickly recovered. One of them hurriedly said to Li Wei, "Please forgive us, sir. We have rarely seen Destroyer's City like this, hence our rudeness."
Then he added, "Please show us your invitation, and we will guide you into the Star of Destruction."
The invitation letter, I think, is the same as the invitation card. The invitation card Li Wei received was a black card, so he just took it out.
After verifying the invitation, one of the people led Li Wei down to the Star of Destruction.
At this point, Li Wei needed to rely on himself to control the Destroyer's City. Along the way, the person leading the way kept looking back. Seeing this, Li Wei had an idea and called out, "Brother leading the way, why don't you rest for a while in my city? I happen to have something I want to ask you."
To Li Wei's surprise, the man did not refuse and directly controlled the aircraft to land on the platform.
Li Wei glanced at the flying device and saw that it was made of a bone-like material, three meters long, and somewhat like a shuttle, with a faint glow on it. Upon Eye of Perception, he obtained the name 'Floating Bone Shuttle'. Li Wei chuckled to himself; it was indeed as the name suggested. One could step on it and make it fly at will, somewhat like his own sword flight.
"What's your name, brother?" Li Wei asked with a smile. He knew nothing about the invitation or the Star of Destruction, and it just so happened that he had met these people, so it would be convenient for him to ask them.
The man seemed somewhat flustered by Li Wei's politeness and quickly replied, "Sir, please don't be so kind. Just call me Black Seven."
Seeing Black Seven's respectful demeanor, Li Wei's heart stirred, and he used his Eye of Perception to look at him. He discovered that Black Seven's combat strength was actually A3 level.
After their conversation, Black Seven had a better understanding of Li Wei's temperament, and chuckled, "Sir, I see this is your first time here, isn't it?"
