Collective Breakthrough, Advancing to Tier Three Expert Rank!

Shen Xing sighed softly, "Moreover, this kind of armor seems to be able to be equipped by friendly forces as well."

"If I ever have to attend any important events in the future, I'll wear this armor. It will definitely amaze everyone."

Lord Shen thought to himself with a smile.

At this moment, Black Arrow left the lotus platform and slowly walked towards him.

The moment his foot touched the lake water, the lake surface instantly froze into solid ice.

Wherever it passed, a frozen passage automatically formed on the lake surface, filled with ice.

"Master..." a deep voice came from beneath the Black Arrow, "I have something I wish to report to you."

After breaking through to the Tier Three, his speech became noticeably more fluent, indistinguishable from that of a normal person.

"What is it?" Shen Xing asked curiously.

"I... awakened some memories..."

"Awakening memories..." Shen Xing seemed to understand something, then her eyes widened. "You mean, memories from your previous life!?"

"Yes..." Black Arrow nodded.

Previously, Black Moon Knight Xiao Hei had awakened a portion of his memories during the process of fusing with the [Corrupted Tree Heart].

He then recalled his days in the Black Moon Knights and a momentous battle.

Unexpectedly, Black Arrow also encountered this kind of thing.

"What did you see in your memory?" Shen Xing asked impatiently.

Black Arrow thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I didn't see much. Most of those memories were very chaotic, like fragments..."

"However, there is a largest fragment of memory here. In it, I saw a frozen palace with many coffins in the hall, which seemed to seal away many terrifying beings."

"There is also an ancient, frozen throne... upon which sits an extremely terrifying figure, bound by many chains..."

He seemed to be trying hard to recall, recounting the memories in his mind bit by bit.

"Oh, right... I also heard another name, Arthas..."

In the distance, the old knight, who was in deep meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light in his pupils.

His deep gaze fell on the Ice Skull Black Arrow, filled with scrutiny, inquiry, and a hint of doubt.

Shen Xing also fell into a long silence.

After a moment, he asked, "Arthas... so that's your name?"

Chapter 203: Collective Breakthrough, Advancing to the Tier Three Expert Rank!

"Arthas... so that's your name?" Shen Xing asked in a deep voice.

Ice Skull Black Arrow thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know either..."

"However... during my breakthrough, something suddenly appeared inside my body..."

As it spoke, it handed over a talisman.

[Obtained: Icecrown Citadel Teleportation Stone (Quest Item)]

"Hmm? A teleportation stone?"

Shen Xing weighed the rune stone in his hand, which seemed to be carved from ice, and glanced at its attributes.

[Icecrown Citadel Teleportation Stone]

[Item Type: Quest Item]

[Item effect: Crushing this runestone will open a portal to Icecrown Citadel.]

Once entered, the hidden quest "The Wound of Slumber" will officially begin.

Mission Objective: Confront the ancient undead army on the North Crown Glacier battlefield and advance to Icecrown Citadel to uncover long-buried secrets.

(Note: This mission is extremely difficult. It is recommended that you be at least level 30 to enter, and you must have at least 5 level 30 members under your command and a troop strength of at least 10,000.)

"!!!"

After reading through this series of mission descriptions, Shen Xing exclaimed, "Wow!"

This thing is actually a teleportation item, and it's also involved in an extremely difficult hidden quest.

"The undead army, Icecrown Citadel, and the palace Black Arrow mentioned... this quest sounds like it won't be easy."

Shen Xing narrowed her eyes.

Generally speaking, the rewards for these hidden quests are quite good, such as the Black Dragon Lord we rescued last time.

Similarly, this task is extremely difficult.

Last time, the requirement was to have at least five Tier Three under your command, plus a thousand troops.

This time it's even more outrageous, requiring the lord to reach level 30, which is equivalent to Tier Four Master Rank.

At the same time, he also needs to have 5 Master Rank experts under his command, as well as tens of thousands of troops.

Of course, the above are just suggestions to meet these conditions; there are no mandatory requirements.

But Lord Shen was clearly not one to court death; he preferred to have an excess of troops rather than push his limits.

"Let me develop a bit more, then I'll let them off the hook for now."

Shen Xing made up his mind and put the teleportation stone into his backpack.

"Black Arrow, go back and continue your training," he instructed.

"Yes, my lord!"

The ice skeleton nodded respectfully, then returned to its lotus platform to begin adapting to the surge of power within its body.

Shen Xing checked his level and then returned to meditation.

However, he did not continue to hone his spiritual power, but instead focused on absorbing the Soul Stone.

After all, I'm already level 15, just one level away from using the Rain and Dew Pearl to reach the maximum level.

Then, once Ding Han delivers the materials he purchased, he can directly break through to the Tier Three!

However... while he really wanted to reach the Expert Realm immediately, he also wanted the other troop types in his territory to break through as soon as possible.

However, it will take time for the Anomaly Handling Bureau to allocate the materials.

Moreover, unlike Tier Two advanced materials, Tier Three materials are already considered high-level resources, with not only lower production but also greater difficulty in obtaining them.

Therefore, naturally, the matching speed is not that fast.

Time flies like an arrow; a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Today marks the third month since Shen Xing entered the game.

During this time, the territory has been developing steadily.

With the help of more than one hundred long-armed laborers, the third ring of walls in the territory has been built, and the second ring of walls has been demolished.

With the outer city wall already in place, this second ring of walls was naturally unnecessary.

As a result, the actual usable area of the territory increased dramatically, and the people of the territory had more space to move around.

On Monday, under Shen Xing's orders, he led his men to cultivate nearly eight acres of fertile land.

Now, the amount of fertile land in the territory has exceeded 14 mu.

Once all the seeds are sown, the annual grain yield will be astonishing.

Logan, along with the newly joined lizardman blacksmith, repaired all the weapons of all the troops in the territory.

They also built 25 [Hell War Chariot] and 30 [Demon Flame Turret].

Currently, the combined number of these two hellish technologies in the territory exceeds eighty.

Of course, Lord Shen himself wasn't idle either.

In addition to using [Life-Sacrifice Evolution] daily to help evolve the troops in my territory, I also regularly offer ten evolution slots to the [Goddess of Evolution Temple] (for free).

The number of Tier Two units in the territory is increasing, and has now exceeded two hundred.

In addition, the strength of those core generals has also improved significantly.

Ice Skull, Black Arrow, and Hellscream have all reached the Boss Three-Star, resulting in a significant increase in their strength.

Oh, and there's also Aqi, the old lizard who recently joined the territory.

This is also a Tier Three Leader Rank powerhouse.

Shen Xing used [Life-Sacrifice Evolution] twice to help him advance to the Boss Three-Star).

Old Aqi was deeply moved and declared that he would do everything in his power to forge equipment for the territory, even if it meant breaking his hands or burning his throat.

Shen Xing felt there was no need for that; he could just let him go to work and clock in as usual.

"While I appreciate hardworking and dedicated employees, I certainly don't want to see one die suddenly on the job."

In the afternoon, Shen Xing's phone vibrated slightly, and an unread message appeared on the Green Bubble.

Upon opening it, I saw that it was sent by Ding Han.

Ding Han: "Mr. Shen Xing, all the goods you purchased from our Anomaly Handling Bureau have been delivered to your door shortly."

Shen Xing's body trembled instantly, and he became fully alert!

He wasn't just referring to the [Lord's Heart] he needed.

Instead, it includes eight other Tier Three advancement materials, as well as hundreds of Hell War Chariot materials.

Shen Xing replied with an emoji, and then sat at home waiting.

Half an hour later.

"Ding-dong!"

The familiar doorbell rang.

Outside the courtyard, a young man was carrying a large black box, smiling as he waited.

"Shen Xing..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lord Shen had already nimbly opened the door.

Then I quickly signed for the package, returned to the living room, closed the front door, and completed the whole process in one smooth motion.

The delivery guy at the door was stunned for a moment, then when he saw the 10 contribution points reward displayed on his phone, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

He bowed to the entrance of the villa, then got back on his electric scooter and left.

"Beep! Password successful!"

A clear notification sound rang out, and the lid opened with a click, bursts of multicolored light bursting from the gaps.
