Sun Fei glanced at it and was slightly disappointed.

Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred, is one of the three major figures in the Lawful Evil faction of Diablo World. Surprisingly, after his death, he didn't drop any decent equipment; most were only Tier 6 gear. Sun Fei's hoped-for Tier 7 green set didn't appear at all. Had all his luck been used up during the previous drop of the Immortal King's Soul Crusher?

Sun Fei had little interest in appraising the equipment, casually putting it into his backpack space, intending to take it back and sell it cheaply.

At that moment, a golden beam of light descended from above.

The golden liquid light points accumulated in Sun Fei's body reached a critical value again, and [ Barbarian Mode ] upgraded again to level 71. The golden mist swept over, and Sun Fei felt a warm sensation all over his body. Even the wounds left from the previous killings healed instantly, and the blood and dirt on his body were also cleaned away, restoring him to his best condition.

After allocating their attribute and skill points as usual, Sun Fei and Elena left as quickly as possible.

They found a pond outside, and Sun Fei stood guard by her side. Elena didn't hesitate and boldly removed her armor in front of her beloved, washing away the bloodstains from her body.

In the battle just now, amidst the horde of monsters, the dozen or so wounds on Sun Fei's body were actually inflicted to protect Elena. Female archers excel at long-range attacks, but their close-combat skills are below average. When high-level monsters get close, they inevitably fall into danger. However, under Sun Fei's all-out protection, not a single scratch was left on her body. The bloodstains on her body were the blood of the demons.

Sun Fei stood guard by the pond, listening to the rushing water and gazing at the Valkyrie's pale, graceful figure. He felt a surge of blood rush to his head, as if his body was about to explode. Although Sun Fei and Elena had shared a moment of intimacy more than half a year ago because of saving someone, it had only happened once. The Valkyrie's flawless, pure white body still held an unparalleled attraction for His Majesty the King.

To distract himself, Sun Fei scanned the surroundings, his gaze suddenly settling on a building not far away—

[ Stamina Shrine ]!

These so-called temples are actually Relic of the Ancients that appear on the continent in the Diablo World. They are dilapidated buildings similar to stone statues, pillars, and wooden statues, but due to some magical symbols and magic circle runes, they possess some very special and strange magical effects within a certain range.

For example, there's this small, round stone pillar in front of us, about four or five meters high.

On the stone pillar, several strange magical symbols were painted with a red pigment similar to divine blood, causing the entire pillar to emit a faint and inexplicable fluctuation of divine power. Even the most exhausted warriors would feel refreshed and their stamina would be restored to full capacity as soon as they approached within ten meters of the pillar, completely dispelling fatigue from both inside and outside their bodies.

Before unlocking the third act's large map, Sun Fei had observed and studied these magical symbols many times, but he still couldn't understand their mysteries.

But at this moment, for some reason, when Sun Fei glanced over unintentionally, the magical symbols that had puzzled him for so long suddenly became crystal clear. It was like a beautiful girl you had been pursuing for years but couldn't even hold hands with, suddenly and unexpectedly lifting up her short skirt and revealing all the beauty that had been hidden away.

Sun Fei's entire attention was completely drawn to the stone pillar before him.

So much so that the King didn't even notice that Elena, the Valkyrie, had already donned her armor and was standing gracefully behind him.

The sun rises in the east.

Under the golden sunlight, the silver Chambord City to be plated with a layer of gold.

Inside the royal palace's sleeping quarters, a blue Teleport suddenly tore through the void and appeared out of thin air.

Sun Fei stepped out of the Teleport.

The Teleport disappeared.

"Squeak squeak squeak!!!" The Little Raccoon darted in through the window like lightning, jumped onto Sun Fei's shoulder, and affectionately licked him with its pink little tongue. This little guy was very clingy, blinking its big, dark eyes as if blaming Sun Fei Sun Fei for leaving it alone here for so long.

Sun Fei laughed heartily and patted the Little Raccoon's head to comfort it.

"Your Majesty, you have returned. Everything has been arranged according to your instructions," the attendant Torres announced respectfully.

"Okay, then we should get going." Sun Fei nodded.

The two left the palace and, escorted by six Saint, arrived at a huge plaza in the center of Chambord City.

Long ago, this was the most spacious square in Chambord City. Not long after Sun Fei transmigrated here, he once killed fourteen cavalrymen, including Shemak, the deputy knight commander of the Zenit Empire's Royal Appointment Mission, in a fit of rage because Angela was being harassed. Torres was also taken in as a close attendant by His Majesty the King for his act of bravery in this square.

After the renovation of Chambord City, this square became cleaner and more spacious, almost able to accommodate all of Chambord City's nearly 30,000 residents. His Majesty the King personally inscribed a strange name for it: ' Tiananmen Square ', making it the permanent venue for Chambord City's national gatherings, banquets, celebrations, speeches, and various celebratory events.

When Sun Fei and his group arrived, the Urban Management and military forces were already guarding the area, and the security was tight.

On all four sides of the square, the students of the magic department of Chambord City Civil and Martial University had already set up four temporary water-based protective magic arrays, supporting four faint sky-blue radiances to prevent any aura from escaping from the square to the greatest extent possible.

The crowd stood in all directions in the square.

More than 300 officials of all ranks in Chambord City, 50 Saint, 2,000 Urban Management, and 2,000 college students from Chambord City Civil and Martial School stood in neat rows on all four sides of the square, their expressions solemn and excited. They left a large open space in the center of the square, about a kilometer in diameter, and looked at the towering figure in the center of the open space with reverence.

It was none other than Frank Lampard, the former top fighter in Chambord City.

Several days ago, Lampard's martial arts realm had already broken through the Nine-Star Class Peak and entered the New Moon Class Lower Stage First Level. However, due to the arduous journey and the fact that he had just broken through the Nine-Star Class Peak and did not have enough accumulation, he had been suppressing his aura. He did not attempt to undergo the test of heaven and earth, and therefore did not gain insight into the laws of heaven and earth or modify and temper his physical body. He could not be considered a true Moon Class expert and could not stand in the void.

Today is the day Lampard chooses to formally accept the test of the elements of heaven and earth, temper and forge his physical body, and step into the New Moon Class.

On the Azeroth Continent, undergoing the trials of the elements is an extremely dangerous process. Many exceptionally talented individuals have failed at this stage, perishing and disappearing. Therefore, choosing the right time to attempt this trial is of utmost importance.

Of course, exceptions include freaks like Sun Fei.

His Majesty the King underwent a test of heaven and earth, completely turning the tables and suppressing the elemental power of heaven and earth to control it, which astonished countless powerful figures in Twin Flag City at that time.

Lampard trains in Lightning-Element Dou Qi.

Of all the days, the rising sun, though not the hottest, is the most vibrant. At this time, the energy elements between heaven and earth are also the purest, without any impurities, especially the fire and electric elemental powers, which are at their most vigorous. For martial artists and mages of these two elements, this is the best time to challenge the trials of heaven and earth.

"Uncle Lampard," Sun Fei walked up to him, looked him up and down, and, feeling somewhat relieved, Earth Inquiry concern, "How are you? Are you confident?"

"No problem." Lampard looked up at the rising sun in the sky. The golden sunlight shone on him, making him look like a golden-armored God of War. His aura was soaring, and he was extremely confident.

"Well, that's good. I've prepared a gift for you here, enough to handle all the anomalies in the trials of heaven and earth." Sun Fei was still a little worried. As he spoke, he took out a huge black sword from his storage ring, half-planted it in the ground. It was more than a person's height, like a small wall. A kind of fluctuation that only strong people could feel flowed around the sword.

This sword was even larger than the black Giant Divine Weapon that Lampard always carried with him.

"Hmm?" Lampard's eyes lit up, then his expression changed. "Such rich spiritual power... Dou Weapon? This is... Fifth Rank? Oh, no, higher... Could it be Sixth Rank?"

Sun Fei smiled slightly, lowered his voice, and whispered in Lampard's ear, "Eighth rank."

"Eighth... eighth rank?" Lampard was speechless with astonishment.

This was probably the first time he had lost his composure like this in front of Sun Fei.

It's no wonder he lost his composure; he was genuinely shocked by those two words from Sun Fei.

Eighth-tier Dou Weapon, just one tier away from becoming Demigod Dou Weapon, can serve as a strategic weapon for a first-tier empire, is extremely terrifying and rare, and yet Alexander... he actually took out a national treasure so easily... this is truly too unbelievable.

Third update.
