Chapter 165
In some ways, it even surpasses the awakened Frostbone Executioner of the Black Arrow.
Only Xiao Hei's Black Moon Death Knight can compare to it.
"Great, today has been a very fruitful day."
"Hellscream has successfully advanced to Hero rank, Gorehowl has broken through to Tier Two, and has even become War Knight —double happiness!"
Shen Xing was satisfied.
At the same time, Gorehowl seemed to have adapted to the surge of power within its body and slowly walked towards it.
The heavy footsteps of the crimson giant wolf echoed across the land, carrying a peculiar melody that stirred the blood once more.
This power wasn't something Gorehowl intentionally created; it emanated naturally.
He has just broken through and cannot fully Control this power yet, so it will affect the people around him.
"Boss, I haven't let you down!" Gorehowl said excitedly.
You're very good.
Shen Xing didn't hold back her praise, asking, "How do you feel?"
"I feel great! I'm now 40% confident I can defeat Hellscream!"
Gorehowl gripped his battle axe tightly, glancing at the bald orc beside him, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Hellscream stared at him calmly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
It was as if, in his eyes, Gorehowl was just a playful younger brother.
Shen Xing chuckled. Although Gorehowl was now on par with Hellscream and had even awakened a hidden class, the gap was still significant.
After all, the latter has already broken through to the hero level and is Boss Three Stars potential, so its attributes alone are far superior.
Gorehowl claimed a 40% win rate, but in his opinion, it was probably less than 20%.
"Okay, I'll let you two practice another day," Shen Xing agreed with a smile.
At that moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and waved his right hand.
"Whoosh..."
A greatsword engulfed in flames instantly appeared, causing the surrounding temperature to soar.
"Gorehowl, try this and see if you can unleash its power."
The [Twilight Purgatory] skill requires level 20 to use; its power cannot be activated until this requirement is met.
However, there is a note on it. "Those who Control the Authority of War can lower the level requirement for using this weapon by 10 levels."
So he wanted Gorehowl to give it a try.
Shen Xing threw the greatsword directly, leaving a trail of flames in mid-air.
Gorehowl caught it and gripped the hilt tightly.
Then, a dark red power emanated from his body, extending down his arm to the hilt of his sword.
"Boom!!!"
Instantly, flames shot into the sky, spewing out a pillar of fire more than ten meters high.
The greatsword seemed to have been activated, and the dark red patterns on its blade lit up completely.
At this moment, the aura of Gorehowl surged once again!
Clearly, this is the effect of the [Twilight Purgatory]'s additional attributes, which directly boosted his stats significantly!
"Wow... this weapon is so powerful!"
Gorehowl gripped the sword hilt excitedly, his eyes gleaming with elation. "I feel like it has increased my combat power by more than 50%."
"Right now, I'm even 60% confident I can defeat Hellscream!"
Shen Xing was also very pleased. Just as he had expected, Gorehowl was able to unleash the weapon's power ahead of schedule.
The fact that Tier Two orc uses Tier Three Epic Rank weapon represents a significant increase in power.
"Alright, you two can both go now and get used to the increased power."
Shen Xing instructed, "We have another battle to fight tomorrow."
"Yes, sir/lord!"
The two orcs responded solemnly, and then dispersed, filled with excitement.
Shen Xing stood still, watching their retreating figures, and then checked their attributes.
[Hero - Hellscream]
[Class: Hell Vanguard]
[Level: 14]
[Potential: Boss One Star ★★★]
[Detailed attributes: Click to view]
[Gorehowl]
[Class: War Knight]
[Level: 14 (Tier Two)]
[Potential: Boss One Star ★]
[Detailed attributes: Click to view]
"Very strong, both generals' agility has exceeded 1000."
"Moreover, thanks to the weapon's enhancement, Gorehowl's power has even surpassed that of Hellscream."
Shen Xing analyzed the situation for a moment, then closed the attribute panel.
At this point, I've pretty much digested all the takeaways from this trip.
The territory's strength has increased dramatically.
Moreover, due to abundant resources, the territory will enter a period of rapid development.
I'll go to the Player Association again tomorrow to exchange my items for resources and buy materials to build a few Hell War Chariot, increasing the mobility of my units.
Or, you could purchase some Tier Two advancement materials to allow your territory to spawn a few more Transcendent Rank units, which would be even more satisfying.
"Call..."
Shen Xing took a deep breath and regained her composure.
Then he toured the territory and built two windmills along the way.
After finishing his daily lord duties, he took off his glasses and logged off.
"Whoosh..."
The view shifted instantly from the warm, misty landscape back to the bright villa.
"Crackling... crackling..."
The sound of rain was clear outside the window, and the air was filled with a damp scent.
I picked up my phone from the bedside table and glanced at it; it was already 2:30 in the morning.
However, the Green Bubble chat app remains popular.
Messages are constantly popping up in both discussion groups.
Shen Xing opened the Jiangcheng Heavenly Pride Discussion Group and glanced at the chat history.
"Do You Think I'm Awesome!" said one of the guys. "This Shen Xing is absolutely amazing! He actually took first place globally! He's really made Jiangcheng proud this time."
Lightning Whirlwind Slash: "Indeed, who would have thought that our Jiangcheng would have such a genius, and that this genius is even in our group?"
The Foreskin Turned Inside Out, "Great! The genius in our group has taken first place globally, which means we've taken first place too. I've decided to treat myself to a few good nights tonight."
Little Thin Book: "Look at you, acting impulsively again."
AAA Can Fly Nationwide): "Brothers, haven't you found out which member of the group Shen Xing is yet? I really want to get to know this big shot."
"..."
The leaderboard has just ended, and most groups are discussing related matters.
Among them, Shen Xing, who won first place, was the focus of discussion.
Especially in the Tianjiao discussion group, after hearing that Shen Xing was in the group, a group of people went wild and frantically searched for the group name card.
However, Gu Feng did not reveal his ID.
Of course, many people have already guessed that the 'Spark' is him.
But because Shen Xing had set up a feature to block strangers from adding him, their guesses were useless.
After scrolling through the chat history and finding no similar useful information as before, Shen Xing switched out of the group chat and looked at another three-person discussion group.
As soon as I opened it, I saw Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi's chat history, along with a whole bunch of emojis.
"Whoosh! Shen Xing, Jiayi, I've made it into the top 1000! My final ranking is 894th!" (Cilantro Who Loves to Play)
"How about that? Pretty awesome, right?"
I Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat, "Not bad, you didn't embarrass our trio."
Xu Jiayi rarely praised him, after all, his achievement was indeed very impressive.
"Hahaha! Today I finally got to hold my head high!"
Qin Lang sent a few laughing emojis, then excitedly said, "Let me tell you, this ranking list is also being recorded in its entirety on the other official Mist Forum."
"Even those who haven't entered the game can see our rankings."
"Right now, posts about this expansion pack are everywhere in society and on major video websites."
"When my old man heard that I made it into the top 1,000, he praised me and said I had finally made something of myself. He was so excited that he gave me his old car."
"If he knew that one of my friends was in the top 100 and the other was number one, he'd probably faint."
I Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat: "My mom knows I made it into the top 100. She even called me just now to confirm if I was really on the leaderboard."
"This woman never cared about my affairs before, but this time she's been fussing over me for ages."
As they chatted, their tone became quite wistful.
Before they came across this game, they mostly stayed at home, spending all their time on their phones and computers, and doing nothing productive.
Unexpectedly, the game and reality became synchronized in the blink of an eye, and they even became the pride of their families.
At this moment, Qin Lang said again, "By the way, Shen Xing, have you logged off yet? Spark."
