Advancing to Master, SS-Rank Trial!
One wave of attacks wiped out the enemy completely.
The latter's [Silver Moon Tide] is also quite good, capable of disrupting the enemy's formation during battle and dealing massive damage.
Overall, they each have their own merits.
"Clap clap!"
Shen Xing clapped his hands in satisfaction, then closed the system interface.
At this point, all the materials transferred in have been processed.
Once they have all completed their upgrades, the number of Tier Three troops in the territory will exceed one thousand, and the number of Tier Four powerhouses will also surpass twenty.
At that time, it will be a true gathering of powerful individuals.
"Besides, I also transferred a lot of materials in this time, so I can start mass-producing troops again."
"As of now, the territory's total military strength has exceeded seven thousand."
"We only need to recruit three or four thousand soldiers to officially break the ten thousand mark."
"Once I break through to the Tier Four, I will have fulfilled all the requirements of Black Arrow's hidden quest."
"Then, you can use the teleportation stone to travel to 'Icecrown Citadel'."
Thinking of this, Shen Xing couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
"However, this hidden quest isn't urgent."
"The Myriad Worlds Arena is just around the corner. Even if I successfully break through to the Tier Four this time, I'll still need to hurry up and absorb Soul Stone to level up."
"Only in this way can we face the lords of the Red Sand World in the best possible condition."
"Therefore, this task can only be done after the arena ends."
Thinking of this, he suppressed his excitement.
Besides these resources, Shen Xing still had one important treasure in his backpack that he hadn't yet used.
That is -- the Proof of Hero.
Previously, he had too many generals in his territory and didn't know who to give them to.
A decision needs to be made as soon as possible.
After all, keeping resources in your backpack won't bring you any benefits.
Shen Xing analyzed in a low voice, "Currently... among the generals in the territory, quite a few have not yet been promoted to hero."
"Black Arrow, Da Hou, Big Demon, Second Demon, Fried Chicken, and the newly added Flame Dragon Pulaya... are all Common units."
"If we're only talking about combat strength, this Proof of Hero undoubtedly belongs to Pulaya."
"After all, as a Tier Four Crown Rank unit, she is the most powerful Flame Dragon."
"If one can break through to the Hero level, their strength will definitely rise to another level."
"However, she hasn't been with the territory for very long; there are veterans like Black Arrow, Xiao Hei, and Da Hou ahead of her."
"Their contributions were greater than Pulaya's, and they were also very strong."
"So... who should receive this Proof of Hero?"
Chapter 317: Advancing to Master, SS-Rank Trial!
"Who should receive this Proof of Hero?"
Shen Xing stood in the territory, looking at the generals around him, a thoughtful expression on his face.
After a moment's thought, he made a decision.
"Let's give it to Xiao Hei."
After all, the Black Moon Knights now number over a thousand, and they need a leader of sufficient stature to lead them.
Moreover, as a mutated class, Xiao Hei's potential is, strictly speaking, no less than that of Pulaya.
In some aspects, it may even be stronger.
With that thought, he gently waved his hand, and a dark gold badge flew out automatically.
"Xiao Hei, here you go."
In the distance, Xiao Hei, who was standing at the forefront of the Black Moon Knights, heard the sound and instinctively turned his head to look.
Then he saw the medal flying towards him and instinctively reached out to grab it.
Upon sensing the presence within, Xiao Hei's hand trembled slightly.
When he opened his palm and saw what was on it, his pupils suddenly contracted!
"This is... Proof of Hero!"
Upon hearing this, the Black Moon Knight behind him were also startled and all turned their gazes toward them.
Gazing at the dark gold medal, their eyes revealed longing and envy.
At the same time, they also gained a completely new understanding of the strength of this territory.
He could casually produce even the most precious [Proof of Hero].
If they stay here, maybe one day in the future, it will be their turn to advance to the rank of hero!
"Xiao Hei, let's begin your advancement." Shen Xing said calmly, "You've been a long-time employee of my territory, making great contributions, and you deserve a Proof of Hero as a reward."
He paused, then continued, "Not only you, but all other troop types will be helped to advance in rank once their contribution reaches a certain level!"
Upon hearing this, the generals who had not yet broken through, and even the soldiers under their command, all showed excitement in their eyes.
They responded in unison, "Yes, my lord! We will do our utmost to contribute to the territory!"
Even the newly joined Black Moon Knight and Silver Moon Knight felt a sense of anticipation.
In front of everyone, Xiao Hei used the [Proof of Hero] directly.
"Whoosh..."
As the medal ascended into the air, it gradually transformed into specks of golden light and dissipated into the atmosphere.
Immediately afterwards, a thick golden beam of light descended from the sky, completely enveloping Xiao Hei.
A moment later, the golden beam of light turned grayish-white, and a dense aura of death permeated the air.
The death energy emanating from Xiao Hei in the center continued to rise, growing stronger and stronger.
Shen Xing observed for a moment, then looked away. "Next, it's my turn."
He maneuvered his wheelchair and slowly glided it toward the center of the territory.
After all, [Lord's Heart] needs to be absorbed near Bonfire; otherwise, the sheer chill alone would freeze Shen Xing solid.
"Rippling..."
The wheelchair rolled over the bluestone path and soon arrived at the central area.
At this moment, the Golden Tree casts a shower of light, illuminating the area with a radiant, sacred glow.
In the central area, on a high platform made of black stones, flames roared, radiating endless light and heat.
However, Shen Xing did not immediately take out [Lord's Heart], but instead glanced at another material in his backpack.
[Ancient Spirit Wood] *5
This item was also obtained for me by Ding Han; it's worth 300,000 contribution points per stick, which is quite expensive.
"Based on the calculation that one spirit wood elevates one level, these materials should be enough to upgrade my Sacred Flame Platform to level 7."
"At that time, the Bonfire area will be expanded several times over, and the activity space will be much larger."
Thinking of this, Shen Xing opened the Bonfire interface.
[Consume the following materials: 100,000 Soul Stone, 100,000 Vinar Silver Coin, 1,000 Radiant Crystal Mothers, and 1 Ancient Spirit Wood to upgrade 'Sacred Flame Platform' to Lv3?]
"Yes."
As soon as he clicked "OK," a large amount of materials disappeared from his inventory.
The black platform was also enveloped in a white light, and its internal structure was rapidly reorganizing.
[Upgrading in progress, time remaining: 60 hours and 12 seconds...]
"Two and a half days isn't too long."
Shen Xing withdrew his gaze and said softly, "Everything is ready. Now we can officially break through to the Tier Four."
He opened his right hand, and a blood-red, icy-cold crystal appeared in his palm.
Then, he took a deep breath!
"Suck--"
In an instant, he drew out the powerful energy contained within the crystal.
A system prompt appeared.
[Ding! Detected that you are absorbing Tier Four Lord's Heart. Initiating a check to see if the breakthrough conditions have been met.]
[1: Reached level 29 (Max level) (Completed)]
[2: Possess 5 or more Leader Rank units (achieved)]
[3: Territory Bonfire level reaches Sacred Flame Platform Lv1 (achieved)]
[4: The level of Control the four-dimensional system has reached the second level (achieved)]
[All conditions have been met. Congratulations! You are now officially embarking on your advanced journey!]
As the notification ended, the immense energy contained within the crystal surged into Shen Xing's body in one go!
In an instant, an extremely Chill and chilling power spread throughout his body.
This feeling was just like when my consciousness connected with the Moon in the Sky; a bone-chilling cold washed over me like a tidal wave.
It felt as if even my soul was frozen, and my consciousness became incredibly sluggish.
Shen Xing quickly separated his consciousness and connected it to the Sacred Flame Platform next to him.
"Call..."
Wisps of white energy surged from the flames and then entered Shen Xing's body.
A strong warmth swept over me, quickly dispelling the chill from my body.
He felt the terrible chill slowly dissipate, and his body regained its mobility.
"That cold air was terrifying! It almost froze me numb!"
Shen Xing was secretly alarmed, and then quickly sat down cross-legged.
At this moment, two completely different forces flowed and merged within his body.
Each union strengthened both his body and soul.
