Chapter 26 - Yang Wei Makes a Move

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The effect of the Dragon Emblem ring was to increase the strength of magic skills. Magic skills were different from elemental skills. The Dragon Emblem ring only increased the strength of magic skills by 20%.

‘The effect of the Withered Berry Plasma Fruit Core was to increase the power of lightning skills and reduce the magic power consumed by lightning skills.

As for the “Lightning Shattering the Darkness” rune, it was also a rune that increased the strength of lightning skills.

Needless to say, this was a very simple physical attack.

Lin Xuan was half surprised and half helpless. “They’re all useless, but the other party actually dropped five advancement materials!”

“However, I can keep this peerless golden rune. Perhaps I can also think about becoming a lightning user in the future.”

“I didn’t get the thing I wanted the most. No, I have to get it.”

What Lin Xuan wanted the most was the skill “Ancient Tree Bark”. This skill also provided defense.

As a martial artist who was still on the rise, survival was naturally the most important.

He needed to prioritize his defense!

“ll wait for the second mystic realm king.”

Lin Xuan waited for a few minutes before the second mystic realm king appeared. However, this time, it was a Shrouding Frost Tree.

“Shrouding Frost Tree King, let me see your skill… Damn, not a single Ancient Tree Bark skill?”

Lin Xuan shook his head repeatedly. After killing this mystic realm king, he continued to wait.

Immediately after, the Shrieking Tree King appeared.

After using Observer to check the information, he discovered that this one did have an ancient tree bark skill. However, this skill would not be dropped after it was killed.

“I don’t believe that I won’t be able to get it!”

Lin Xuan was determined to get this skill. This was because if he could not get it now, it would be even more impossible for him to get it in the future when his level was higher.

Although his training avatar was powerful, he could not use it to challenge a mystic realm king.

After all, with so many wasteland reclaimers watching, he couldn’t exactly send his avatar into the cave of a mystic realm king. It would definitely be caught and cut into pieces for research.

Lin Xuan continued to wait. “T’ll continue to grind. It’s not very tiring anyway.”

Outside the cave, Yang Wei, who had been sitting here for more than an hour, had a stiff expression.

The bosses in the cave had already changed several times.

From the Plasma Tree King to the Shrouding Frost Tree King, and then to the Shrieking Tree King!

Why was Shield Ghost still not out?!

As he waited, complicated emotions rose in Yang Wei’s heart.

Shield Ghost was indeed worthy of his name.

This person was too powerful.

This was a Second Realm mystic realm. However, Shield Ghost had first killed the experienced mystic realm king before killing two more. Moreover, he had been killing them alone the entire time.

Now, he actually did not have the slightest intention of resting. He just waited in the cave for the mystic realm kings to respawn.

If such combat strength was really absorbed by the Germinal Organization and he became a fighter, he would definitely be a top-notch elite.

Yang Wei continued to wait.

Lin Xuan continued to grind mystic realm kings.

Finally, he obtained the Ancient Tree Bark skill book.

“There are also enough materials for advancement. Why don’t I advance to a Third Realm martial artist here?” Lin Xuan chuckled.

‘As long as he pierced the two shields into the ground, even the mystic realm kings would not be able to break through his defense.

“Advance!”

Lin Xuan tapped the arrow on the data panel.

The five experienced mystic realm king advancement materials turned into streams of light and entered his body at the same time.

Just like before, the experienced mystic realm king advancement materials all had+3 attributes. All of this added up to a total of+15 all attributes.

In just a few minutes, Lin Xuan had advanced from a level nine Second Realm martial artist to a level nine Third Realm martial artist.

At this moment, his basic attributes were: Constitution 144, Strength 62, Spirit 63, and Agility 58.

“The feeling of becoming stronger is really good. It’s time to go back and rest.” Lin Xuan turned around and walked out of the cave.

At this moment, outside the cave, Yang Wei had been sitting for the entire time. His butt had even stiffened, and he could not help but stand up and rub his butt.

At this moment, Lin Xuan walked out with a smile and looked at Yang Wei, who was rubbing his butt.

Their eyes were filled with embarrassment.

‘As expected of an overseer, Yang Wei immediately suppressed the embarrassment in his heart and said, “Shield Ghost! I came today to give you an ultimatum. You either join the Germinal Organization or leave East Lake City!”

‘The surrounding wasteland reclaimers who were queuing in front of the cave also stopped queuing at this moment and stretched their necks to look fiercely.

Some of the wasteland reclaimers respected Shield Ghost, some were more willing to serve the Germinal Organization, and some simply wanted to watch the show.

Seeing this, a wasteland reclaimer from District C immediately ran to tell Lu Luo about this.

Lu Luo, who was searching for attribute items in the Tree King Sea, immediately rushed over when she heard the news.

However, after hearing Yang Wei’s words, Lin Xuan could not help but laugh.

Even if the high and mighty manager had a bad impression of him, he would not be willing to personally step forward. Presumably, Yang Wei planned to use this opportunity to win the favor of Manager Number Three.

However… he was simply not qualified for this job.

Lin Xuan used his Observer skill and immediately saw through Yang Wei’s attributes.

He was a level one Fourth Realm martial artist and had 35 Constitution, 25 Strength, 79 Spirit, and 25 Agility.

His equipment was also not very impressive. He had two precious purple items and the rest were rare blue items.

His skills were even worse. He only had one precious purple skill and the rest were all rare blue.

Lin Xuan secretly swept his gaze over the runes on his equipment. Damn, not a single one was precious purple. They were all rare blue.

Moreover, all the equipment, skills, and runes did not have additional equipment essence and experience points to level up at all. The highest was only at level seven Third Realm and had not advanced to the Fourth Realm.

Looking at his attributes again, Lin Xuan was satisfied.

He was clearly only at level one Third Realm, but he was already comparable to Yang Wei, a level one Fourth Realm martial artist.

Even if he did not advance, the difference between them was not huge.

At this moment, Lu Luo had already arrived at the cave from afar and saw the figures of Shield Ghost and Yang Wei.

Her face was cold as she tried to approach.

However, she had only taken a few steps when she caught a glimpse of the black-clothed martial artist sitting casually on the stone bench and drinking Tsingdao Beer.

“Why don’t you stop them?” Lu Luo asked softly.

The black-clothed martial artist chuckled. “This Shield Ghost is stronger than you think. You have to have confidence in him.”

“Moreover, I actually hope that Yang Wei can suppress Shield Ghost. That way, I will have the chance to save him. In this way, I can increase the favorability of Shield Ghost.”

Lu Luo :”…”

“They’re starting, they’re starting.” The black-clothed martial artist handed over three different brands of beer. “Take whatever you like.”

Lu Luo took a bottle of Xuehua Beer and took a few gulps before focusing on the battle.

“Big Fireball!”

“Acid corrosion!”

“Five consecutive lightning whips!”

“Icicle Technique!”

Yang Wei’s voice sounded continuously.

All kinds of skills were used as he attacked Shield Ghost.

Red flames, blue lightning, green poison, white frost.

It had to be said that Yang Wei’s elemental skills were very varied and he had dabbled in all four elements.

However, after using a skill, Yang Wei’s magic power had been exhausted by three-quarters, but Shield Ghost was still motionless.

The Dragon Hunter Shield and the Earth Dragon King Hammer Shield were as thick as before. The black armor on his body seemed to be able to absorb all attacks.

“Oh? Are you waiting for the cooldown to end? Do you want me to wait for you?” Shield Ghost’s hoarse voice sounded from under the armor.

Yang Wei was so furious that his face and neck turned red..
