Chapter 1265 Way of Destruction
"17,571... 17571... 17571..." Zhang Mengyao muttered the number three times with heavy tones. That was the number of casualties. The biggest casualties the Tang Empire ever had. That meant there were the same number of families who lost someone precious to them. It was a surprise attack, what if they fought in the open field without their setup? She did not dare imagine how many people would die from her side.
"The people are waiting for you, Supreme General Zhang," Marshal Alton reminded Zhang Mengyao. He had nothing to say about the number of casualties. Based on his experiences, this was a big victory, killing over two hundred thousand armies with less than eighteen thousand casualties. However, he knew that Zhang Mengyao was not used yet with the big war. If he tried to comfort her, that would make things worse.
Zhang Mengyao closed her eyes and let out a sigh. The Tarrior was waiting for her speech and also celebration. A celebration for the victorious battle was needed to keep the morale high, 'I can't appear weak in front of my soldiers. I can't show them my weakness.'
Her heavy expression turned emotionless as she headed out. They were still in the same area, and Zhang Mengyao held her speech from the balcony on the second floor where Reinar lay motionlessly at the railing.
The victorious cries resonated in the air as the Tarrior cheered for the speech, causing the building to shake a little bit. Zhang Mengyao turned toward Reinar after the speech. Her eyes showed hatred for the man. This would not happen if not for this man who suddenly tried to join the battle. She grabbed his leg and returned to the building, dragging the man on the floor.
The Tarrior also returned to the building. The celebration would be held in multiple places, not here. While they had eliminated the Giteron Dynasty's force, their actual enemy was the Federation of Allurion and the Divine Church. The Tarrior would return to their posts and hold the celebration there.
Herman Bonivido, Henry, and Frans were waiting next to the teleportation portal. The three looked at Zhang Mengyao nervously. After witnessing the battle, they realized that the Tang Empire was much stronger than they thought. Herman wanted to say something, but the words did not come out until she disappeared into the portal with the captive.
"How am I supposed to know that the Tang Empire is so strong?" Herman muttered his regret. If he knew the Tang Empire was this strong, then he would not accept the Giteron Dynasty's offer. He agreed to the temporary alliance, and the Tang Empire was capable of helping them against the Saint Guild and The Blue Vest Guild.
"What should we do now, Frans?" He turned toward his Vice Guild Leader.
"We must prepare ourselves," Frans smiled bitterly. It was not Herman's fault, but also his fault. If not for his support, Herman would not take the Giteron Dynasty, "There's nothing we could do but prepare ourselves for the future fight. We must get stronger while the Tang Empire is busy with the World Government."

"Hah... Hah... Hah..." Tang Shaoyang breathed heavily as the creature in front of him crumbled. He did not expect the bonus wave of the Trial of Legend to be so strong. His last enemy was a three-headed bone dragon, and it forced him to use True Dragon Form. His vision blurred for a moment as his body swayed to the side. He almost fell as he was still not accustomed to True Dragon Form. After using the skill his head would ache and dizzy. He let himself fall to the ground, facing the sky.
The three-headed bone dragon gave him a lot of levels. He reached level 8451 after finishing the trial, and he got over three hundred levels by killing the three-headed bone dragon while the monster wave gave him a little over a hundred levels.
[Congratulations! You have finished The Trial of Legend!]
[You have Advanced to the Primordial Rank!]
[Please choose the following rewards!]
[(Bloodline) (Class) (Artifact)]
Tang Shaoyang put aside the reward because he heard more notifications than that one. There was a notification that he had not heard for a long time.
[Congratulations! Your main class Exalted Monarch of Spirit has advanced to Divine Monarch of Spirit!]
[Your attributes' gain doubled!]
[You have been granted 1 Archaic Summoning!]
[You have obtained a third class, Way of Destruction!]
[You will gain +2000 Attribute Points each time you level up!]
[You have learned a skill, Destruction Strike!]
[You have learned a skill, Keen Sense (Passive)]
[You have learned a skill, Defense Penetration (Passive)]
[You have learned a skill, Crippling Spirit (Passive)]
[You have learned a skill, Energy Destruction Touch!]
[You have learned a skill, Calamitous Self-Destruction!]
Tang Shaoyang blinked his eyes, making sure that he did not see anything wrong with the last skill. He did not see it wrong. It was indeed Calamitous Self-Destruction. He did not need to try the skill... No, he did not want to try the skill. The skill was self-explanatory, self-destruct. He would die if he used the skill. He just did not think that such a skill that killed the user would exist.
Three passive skills and three active skills or maybe two active skills. He would never use Calamitous Self-Destruction as it might hurt his people as well. There was no way to find out the scale of the destruction unless he used the skill, but he would die if he used the skill. He might have Seven Souls, but he would not waste it just to test a skill.
Since the System did not provide any explanation about the skill, he could only try to understand it by its name. What pleased him the most was the two thousand Attribute Points gain per level. He could easily max out his attribute to the peak of Legend Rank with such a big gain of attribute points. Just learning the class, he got 16,900,000 Attribute Points as the previous level up was also counted into his gain. With the other bonuses, he had 21,162,800 Attribute Points.
He needed sixty thousand Attribute Points to increase his attribute per star, and he needed six million to max one of his attributes. With the Attribute Points he had right now, he easily maxed out three Legend Rank's attributes. He did not hesitate to max out his Strength, Vitality, and Magic Power.
————————————————
Attribute Points: 3,522,800
Strength: Legend (99-Star) [Max!]
Agility: Legend (1-Star) [0/60,000 AP 2-Star]
Vitality: Legend (99-Star) [Max!]
Stamina: Legend (1-Star) [0/60,000 AP 2-Star]
Magic Power: Legend (99-Star) [Max!]
————————————————
Tang Shaoyang blinked his eyes, realizing that he could easily max his attributes before he got into the next trial. He still had three and a half million AP even after maxing out three attributes. Here he thought he would not be able to max all attributes for the Legend Rank.
Tang Shaoyang put the remaining Attribute Points into Agility, boosting his Agility to 59-Star, halfway to the peak. He stood up with a big smile on his face. The hectic from the True Dragon Form had gone for quite a while, "It's time for me to return."
