Three Women's Wager, S-Rank Trial! (Continued)
Upon Yu Feifei replied without hesitation, "Okay, then it's decided."
"The chat history has been screenshotted. Anyone who tries to renege is a dog!"
"No problem," Xu Jiayi replied readily.
Shen Xing stared at the two chatting for a moment, stunned.
No, you guys can have your competition, why are you dragging me into it?
Also, why is it the winner who has to come and clean my house? Shouldn't it be the loser?
At this moment, Xia Wanyin also heard their message and excitedly exclaimed, "Wow, this sounds really interesting! Can I join?"
Shen Xing's eyes widened, and she subconsciously replied, "You're here too?"
"Yeah!" Xia Wanyin sent a pitiful emoji. "Can't I?"
"No..." Shen Xing said, "You're not from Jiangcheng, so even if you win, you can't come."
"It's nothing. Didn't I say last time that I was going to come to Jiangcheng to visit you guys?" Xia Wanyin replied, "If I win this time, I can come and play for a while."
After listening to the voice message, Shen Xing felt even more puzzled.
Before he could reply, Xu Jiayi said, "Okay, let's add Wanyin too, and the three of us will see who ranks higher!"
At this moment, Cilantro Who Loves to Play also chimed in, "Can I join?"
"No!"*3
Qin Lang looked at the three messages flashing on the screen and sent more than a dozen protest emojis.
The other three empresses were equally unyielding, launching a barrage of memes.
Soon, the entire discussion group was flooded with various emojis.
Shen Xing was speechless for a moment, then simply turned off his phone.
Then I went to the bathroom and took a shower.
After all, he was slightly injured last night, and although he had healed, there was still a little blood on his skin.
"Splash..."
The showerhead sprayed a gentle stream of water, washing away the grime and the fatigue of the night.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, I felt refreshed and lay back on the sofa.
He closed his eyes and silently chanted, "Mist Reincarnation —Activate!"
Buzz...
My gaze shifted, and the familiar scene reappeared before me.
Then, he maneuvered his wheelchair to the center of the Lotus Pond.
Upon entering, one discovers that the room is already packed with thousands of different types of troops.
Even Xia Wanyin had already prepared her troops.
They were all waiting for Shen Xing to return so they could activate the Lotus Pond acceleration feature.
"Everyone's up early," Shen Xing greeted with a smile.
"It's getting late, we've already finished breakfast," Xia Wanyin replied with a smile.
"Alright, let's begin today's upgrade." Shen Xing nodded.
Then, with practiced ease, he went to his own White Jade Lotus Platform and sat cross-legged.
Next, I directly opened the Lotus Pond interface and selected 100x speedup!
The entire Lotus Pond underwent another transformation, as if isolated from the outside world, and time began to flow at an accelerated pace...
Blood mist flowed slowly along the edge of the flames, and the defensive towers launched waves of attacks from time to time, shooting down all the scattered monsters that attacked.
The workers returned to their territory and began their day's work.
The soldiers patrolled the city walls or went to the training grounds to improve their combat skills.
In this orderly atmosphere, another twelve hours quickly passed.
At 7:00 PM, Shen Xing promptly shut down the Lotus Pond Accelerator.
Today, another 1.44 million Soul Stone were consumed, but the resulting improvement was enormous.
Luna, the Silver Moon Knight Captain with the highest level, has reached level 36, just 3 levels away from the maximum level of 39.
If you have one 'Chaos Magic Crystal' or three 'Chaos Magic Crystal Fragment' at this point, you can level her up to the maximum level and then advance her to a Crown Rank unit.
Unfortunately, even the cheapest Chaos Magic Stone Fragment costs 100,000 points each, which he simply cannot afford right now.
"The Points Shop has so many treasures, many of which are more important than Chaos Magic Stone Fragment."
"Let's save where we can and use the money to exchange for other treasures first."
"Besides, I'm still going to keep the speed-up enabled. It would be a waste to level Luna up to the maximum level right now."
After considering his options, Shen Xing prepared to get up and face tonight's challenge.
At that moment, a scorching heat suddenly erupted beside me.
"Boom!!"
A crimson pillar of fire shot hundreds of meters into the sky, dispersing the blood mist in the air.
Sensing the commotion, everyone in the Lotus Pond looked in the direction of the sound.
Suddenly, a fiery red figure appeared on the lotus platform, her red hair flowing, her long robes dancing wildly in the wind, scattering sparks everywhere.
Beneath the clear lake surface, her stunning figure was reflected, like a red lotus quietly burning on the water.
It was Leina.
At this moment, she slowly opened her eyes, and the raging flames around her subsided.
"My lord, I have successfully reached the limit of the Tier Three tier."
Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Shen Xing's face.
As the strongest fire mage in the territory, Leina lived up to expectations and reached the maximum level.
Besides, Hellscream and Fordring are almost there too, already at level 28, just one level away from the level cap.
Xia Wanyin nearby, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Sister Leina is at max level! Does that mean she'll be breaking through to the Tier Four soon?"
"Yes," Shen Xing nodded with a smile, "I've prepared her breakthrough materials."
"I'm so envious," Xia Wanyin said with a longing look on her face.
"Don't be envious. Didn't you prepare breakthrough materials for Xiao Guang too?" Shen Xing said. "With the Lotus Pond acceleration, he'll soon reach level 29, the maximum level, and then advance to Master."
"That's right." Xia Wanyin nodded gently. "Xiao Guang is already level 25, and he'll be close to level 29 soon."
Shen Xing smiled, then looked at Leina beside him. "Let's go, let's get out of here first, then find a place to break through."
"Yes, my lord!" Leina nodded solemnly, a hint of anticipation appearing in her ruby-like eyes.
Then, Onyxia switched to her dragon form and led Shen Xing and Leina away from the Lotus Pond.
Xia Wanyin led her troops back to her territory to prepare for tonight's challenge.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
Onyxia flapped her black dragon wings and landed in a spacious open area in the southern part of her territory, before transforming back into human form.
Shen Xing, sitting in his wheelchair, looked at the figure before him and said, "Leina, before you officially begin your breakthrough to the Tier Four, I'll help you break through to the Overlord first."
After all, according to the law, the higher the potential of a unit, the greater the chance of breaking through to a higher rank.
"Thank you, Lord. Your abilities are as miraculous as ever, comparable to a divine miracle." Leina bowed slightly, her eyes filled with admiration.
Shen Xing smiled, then opened the talent interface and selected the target in front of him.
[Use 'Life-Sacrifice Evolution' to advance this hero to Overlord ★?]
[This evolution requires sacrificing 3000 Agility!]
"Yes."
A thick beam of red light descended from the sky, enveloping the tall, red-haired mage.
The robes began to flutter without wind, feathers danced in the air, and dark red flames ignited around him.
He looked like a giant fiery bird with outstretched wings.
At this moment, Shen Xing was surprised to see that the flames on his body had changed.
Like flowing liquid, they coalesced together, forming a blazing fireball.
Then it slowly rose into the air, like a blazing sun, illuminating an area of several kilometers in radius.
The temperature across the entire territory subsequently soared significantly.
[Your territory hero: Leina Yenet has successfully advanced to Overlord ★!]
[This breakthrough grants a 45% increase to all attributes and a 3000 increase to agility!]
[Activate Overlord Domain: Blazing Sun Domain]
At this moment, the red light subsided, and the flames gradually dissipated.
Only the enormous fireball remained suspended in the air, moving with Leina's movements.
"Luna's is the moon, Leina's is the sun."
"Two Nas in the same frame, the sun and moon shining together, a good omen."
Shen Xing thought to herself with a smile, then opened her panel and glanced at her attributes.
[Blazing Sun Domain:]
Leina Yenet exudes a scorching aura of flames, raising the ambient temperature within a 1000-meter radius to a maximum of 1000°C.
Furthermore, it can control the area from which heat dissipates, allowing for localized warming without harming friendly units.
Enemy units within range have their fire resistance reduced by 20% to 70% (depending on distance).
Burst Form:
Leina Yenet gathered the power of fire, raising a massive blazing sun that expanded the area to 3,000 meters and could raise the temperature to a maximum of 3,000 degrees Celsius!
Within the area of effect, all enemy fire attacks will be significantly suppressed, and Leina's fire attack power will be greatly increased.
(Note: "Where the sun rises, I am the sole master of fire!")
"Exaggerated... In its permanent form, it has a 1000-meter range and can even control the temperature, reaching up to 1000℃!"
What does 1000℃ mean?
It's equivalent to the temperature of lava surface during a volcanic eruption, hot enough to make steel glow red-hot and soft within seconds.
