A new SS-rank talent, an easy defense battle (continued)
[Rank 976: Xu Jiayi (Blue Star World), 942,400 points]
My accumulated points are almost three million.
"So, I gained 1.3 million points last night, and my ranking moved up one place. Not bad."
Shen Xing was quite satisfied with this ranking.
As long as we maintain this pace, staying in the top 100 shouldn't be a problem when the rankings end.
Then, he glanced at the names of the other people on the leaderboard.
The rankings for the third night were largely unchanged from the second night, with the number of strong individuals from the Red Sand World still far ahead.
Moreover, he discovered that some of the Blue Star powerhouses who had managed to squeeze into the rankings last night had been pushed out again.
The ratio of powerful individuals between the two worlds has now reached 724:276...
The ratio of nearly 3:1 is enough to make one despair just by looking at it.
The only good news is that Li Yuan, the mysterious powerhouse from Heavenly Star Nation, has successfully moved up one place to fourth.
It can be described as seeking progress while maintaining stability.
The bad news is that Jason, a top seed from the Golden Eagle Kingdom, has dropped one place in the rankings and almost lost his place in the top ten.
"This is a bit troublesome. The gap in the number of powerful individuals from the two worlds on the rankings is widening."
"There are only 7 days left in the leaderboard. At this rate, Blue Star has virtually no hope of catching up."
"Fortunately, the outer arena that follows is where the true ownership of the World Origin will be decided."
"We still have a chance, uh... I guess."
Shen Xing thought helplessly.
He didn't have as strong a feeling as others that Blue Star would be swallowed by the mist.
After all, he was all alone and had no relatives; he only needed to take care of himself.
If Blue Star is truly swallowed up, he can simply transfer his physical body to his territory and make the Land of Mist his home.
But if possible, he still wants to try.
After all, this is his home planet, the place where he was born and raised.
At the same time, Da Hou shout interrupted his thoughts.
"Boss, all the spoils are collected, here you go!"
The two-axe orc strode over and respectfully handed over a backpack.
Shen Xing took it and, as usual, transferred the resources inside into his backpack.
The total obtained is: 1.72 million Soul Stone, 314 Elite Soul, 42 Boss One Star Soul, and 6 Boss Soul.
In addition, 240,000 Invar Alloy Fragment.
"1.72 million Soul Stone may seem like a few tens of thousands less than last night, but the actual profit is much greater."
"After all, the Demon Flame Turret and defensive towers in the territory weren't activated much last night, so the consumption was negligible."
"The troops also suffered no casualties, indirectly saving me hundreds of thousands of Soul Stones."
Shen Xing exclaimed again, "Leina's improvement this time is amazing!"
It's the perfect nemesis of these second and third-tier monsters!
I thought Luna, as the Silver Moon Knight Captain, was already unparalleled in her monster-clearing abilities, but then I found out there's another one, Leina.
If it were any other lord, acquiring just one of them would guarantee a spot in the top 100 of the rankings.
He possessed both.
"Excellent! Leina and Luna, the two of them combined, Sweep the world!"
Shen Xing thought to himself with a smile, and then, as usual, distributed the souls according to their contributions.
After a beautiful boost, she returned to the Lotus Pond and activated a 100x Time Acceleration.
According to yesterday's estimate, if we upgrade for another day today, the other generals will be able to reach the maximum level.
At that time, several more Master will emerge in the territory.
Thinking of this, Shen Xing couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Xia Wanyin arrived with her troops.
"I'm sorry, Shen Xing, I was a little late cleaning up the battlefield this morning," the girl in the white dress said apologetically as she sat on the lotus platform.
"It's alright, we haven't even started yet." Shen Xing smiled, then added, "Judging from what you've said, it seems you had quite a haul last night?"
"Hehe, that was a pretty good haul!"
Xia Wanyin seemed to have anticipated his question and replied smugly, "Last night alone, I earned 150,000 points and nearly 300,000 Soul Stone!"
"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"
Shen Xing was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "150,000 points? Doesn't that mean you're almost in the top 1,000?"
"Not yet, we're currently ranked around 1300th," Xia Wanyin said with a smile. "But with a little more effort, we should be able to squeeze in in the next day or two."
"Then we can go to the Myriad Worlds Arena together and fight the lord of the Red Sand World!"
"Okay, let's team up again then," Shen Xing agreed with a smile.
If the Blue Star World can have one more lord enter the top 1,000, it will increase its chances of winning.
Xia Wanyin is also his old partner, and her skills are quite good.
Furthermore, she revealed in the discussion group last time that she had prepared the Overlord Soul and the materials for the Light Knight to advance to the Tier Four.
If she can reach the maximum level before the Myriad Worlds Arena opens, she might gain another Tier Four Hero Rank unit under her command.
Shen Xing thought about these things, then opened the [Lotus Pond] interface and directly activated the time flow speed by one hundred times.
That special feeling returned.
Everything outside the Lotus Pond slowed down dramatically, while everything inside remained unchanged.
With a gentle wave of his hand, he took out thousands of Soul Stones from his backpack and refined them in an instant.
Strands of soul power were absorbed into his body, flowing through his limbs and bones.
Other soldiers also took out large amounts of Soul Stone and placed them in front of them, absorbing them with complete concentration.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was noon.
More than four hundred hours have passed inside the Lotus Pond, which is equivalent to about twenty days.
For those inside, it didn't really feel real.
After all, they kept repeating the same thing and rarely even communicated.
Moreover, when absorbing the energy of the Soul Stone, you will involuntarily enter a special state where you are completely unaware of the passage of time.
For them, those twenty days were just the time it took to take a few naps.
"No wonder in cultivation novels, those Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage monsters often go into seclusion for decades or even centuries."
"Because you don't feel anything at all. Even if you spend decades inside, it's like it's only been a month or two. Your state of mind won't change at all."
"They went in with the mindset of a 20-year-old, and even a hundred years later, they will still be full of vigor and spirit."
"Because personal growth isn't simply about living longer; it requires experiencing many things."
Shen Xing pondered these questions, and then another one came to mind.
That is, if they spend too much time in the Lotus Pond, such as decades or even centuries, although their mentality may not change, will their bodies age?
Although it is said that once lords reach the Tier Two Transcendent, they already possess lifespans far exceeding those of Common, easily living for two or three hundred years.
Expert Rank lords can even live for a thousand years.
This wasn't something Shen Xing made up; it was data obtained by biologists on Blue Star after extracting genes from lords of different ranks.
But even with a lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years, it can't withstand the acceleration of the Lotus Pond by a hundred or a thousand times.
"If the physical body also ages, doesn't that mean we'll live decades, or even centuries, less than others?"
Shen Xing seemed to be deep in thought.
They have only accelerated their time in the Lotus Pond for about a year now, and they haven't felt any changes in their bodies yet.
Therefore, he didn't know whether this speculation was true.
"But who cares? The world's about to end, why worry about a few more years of life? We might not even live to see it."
"Moreover, even if it consumes my lifespan, as long as I continue to grow stronger, each breakthrough will Metamorphosis my life form and greatly increase my lifespan."
So there's absolutely no need to worry about this.
Shen Xing shook his head, gradually pulling himself out of his thoughts.
Then they prepared to take out the second batch of Soul Stone for absorption.
Just then, a doorbell rang in my ears.
"Ding-dong!"
It came from the real world.
"Hmm?" Shen Xing wondered, "Who's knocking at this hour?"
"Could it be that the materials I consigned earlier have been successfully matched?"
He switched his consciousness out of the Land of Mist, then glanced at his phone; there was no relevant information on it.
With some doubt, Shen Xing turned on the yard's surveillance camera.
When he saw the figure displayed on the screen, he was quite surprised.
A tall, slender girl was standing at the entrance to the courtyard.
Her long black hair was tied up, and she wore a light blue dress with no makeup.
Although her outfit was simple, it accentuated her unique charm.
"Jiayi?" Shen Xing asked in surprise, "What brings you here?"
Upon hearing the voice coming through the microphone, the tall, slender girl at the door quickly replied, "Shen Xing, I'm here to make a deal with you."
"A deal?" Shen Xing asked, somewhat puzzled.
Then, he remotely opened the courtyard gate.
Xu Jiayi walked through the front yard with practiced ease, entered the living room, and sat down on the sofa opposite.
Shen Xing then used the Hand of the Void skill to remotely control the water dispenser and put out two cups of hot water.
Then, using his mental power, he transferred the water cups over and placed one in front of each of them.
"What kind of deal do you want to make with me?" Shen Xing asked.
