Chapter 1034 The promotion of the lord and the upcoming meeting
"By the way, I almost forgot about the real thing."
While Ariel was still cleaning up, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something, sat up from the bed, and sat cross-legged on a cushion next to him.
After working all day long, I forgot one very important thing, which is to improve my own strength.
"Currently, my magical strength has reached the fourth level and eight stars. In other words, as long as I complete this training, I can reach the peak level of double fourth level and nine stars!"
With joy in his heart, Lei Xiao turned his hand into a palm, and a round Demonic Moon Condensation Pill appeared in his palm.
Without hesitation, I started refining directly.
Due to the continuous blessing of the divine power in Lei Xiao's body, which greatly alleviated the violent medicinal power, and coupled with his already familiar refining experience, it didn't take long for the refining to be completed easily.
Then, Lei Xiao, who felt the energy around him was overflowing, took out the second Demonic Moon Condensation Pill without stopping.
During this process, Lei Xiao noticed.
Ariel, who had already put on her pajamas, was sitting cross-legged next to her at some point.
On her fair face, which had taken off her makeup, she looked serious and meditating with her eyes closed. She was faintly exuding extremely good energy fluctuations. She gently brushed the slightly curly hair hanging down from her forehead. She was obviously doing exercises.
change.
Looking at the other party's serious and unguarded delicate face, Lei Xiao smiled knowingly and continued to practice attentively.
Some time passed, and when Lei Xiao opened his eyes again, his whole body felt extremely relaxed.
In the two energy vortices in his belly, the saturation feeling that faintly touched a bottleneck surged up again for a long time.
"Have you successfully reached the peak of double fourth level?"
Feeling the physical energy and magic power flowing out of his body, a look of joy appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
This undoubtedly means that he has once again reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and has entered the quasi-first echelon of the top human race!
In addition to the fifth-level powerhouses and the half-step fifth-level powerhouses, with the blessing of many trump cards, I can already be called an invincible existence.
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao casually opened his attribute bar.
[Name: Lei Xiao]
【ID:0013076067】
[Occupation: Lord]
[Level: "Physics: Level 4 Nine Stars" "Magic: Level 4 Nine Stars"]
, Eyes of Thunderstorm "Accessory Level 5", Blessing of the Southern Cross "Accessory Level 5", God's Favorite Emblem "Accessory Level 6" The Moon Reflected in the Mirror "Accessory Level 6"]
"Very good, this undoubtedly means that I have successfully opened the path to become a fifth-level powerhouse!"
Lei Xiao looked at the text on his attribute column, and the joy on his face became more intense.
At this peak level where the bottleneck has been reached, potions that enhance strength naturally no longer have any effect.
Next, as long as you find the corresponding rare magic potion or the opportunity to break through the shackles, you can choose to attack the fifth-level powerhouse.
Or it may not be a bad idea to continue to practice hard and accumulate experience, and step into the threshold of a fifth-level powerhouse first. In this way, it will undoubtedly be safer.
After all, it is extremely difficult to advance to the fifth level of power. Even if everything is well prepared, it can be said to be a narrow escape.
Lei Xiao, who has become more and more familiar with this world, clearly understands.
More than 90% of the peak fourth-level experts, and even the half-step fifth-level experts, until the moment of their death, can only look forward to the threshold of the fifth-level powerhouse, and do not have the ability and courage to take that step.
.
Once the promotion fails, depending on the degree of damage to one's own energy circuit, it is not uncommon for the person's strength to regress and no longer be able to meet the conditions for promotion, or to become a useless person.
A considerable number of fourth-level peak experts and half-step fifth-level experts died directly in the process of promotion, including many geniuses whose talents could be called monster levels.
After all, compared with other immortal races, the human race has extremely limited time to practice, and lacks the help of high-level auxiliary magic potions and other auxiliary measures. Many times, they can only bite the bullet and go on. This is the extreme situation for the powerful people of the human race to conquer the country.
The root cause of the rarity.
"However, with the blessing of the golden finger talent, my subordinates and I can be prepared to the maximum extent to attack the fifth-level powerhouse."
Lei Xiao closed the attribute interface and took a deep breath.
In any case, even now, my strength has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and it is enough to have the ability to protect myself and even deterrence in most situations.
While feeling excited, Lei Xiao further noticed.
Although the golden finger still displays level 1, there is a golden light flashing on the font from time to time. Based on the experience of other lords, this undoubtedly means that there is really only one step left to upgrade to level 2!
"If lv2 allows you to control qualitative and quantitative changes at will, what effect will it have if you upgrade to lv3?"
While looking forward to it, Lei Xiao seemed to hear something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"By the way, I also discovered two good things during the upgrade process today!"
Lei Xiao turned his palm up, and two small scrolls, one golden and one purple, appeared in front of him.
This is not an ordinary magic scroll, but a much rarer skill scroll.
"Although the three wealthy families and the royal family also have a lot of skill scrolls in stock, after some upgrades, these two are the most suitable for me."
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he first opened the attribute column of the skill scroll.
[Name: Glimpse of Shadows and Chasers of Light]
[Level: Level 5]
[Explanation: The light attribute single-body melee physical sword skill was originally created by a legendary sword master. He merged himself with the long sword into one, and unleashed a thrusting blow with all his strength. One sword can open mountains and rivers, and thirty others can do so.
Six transformation methods, from slow sword to fast sword, it can be said to be unpredictable.】
"The [Panic Flash] and [Sen Luo Slash] I mastered before are both slashing sword skills."
"Although the killing range is wider, it always seems limited and clumsy in one-on-one situations, and its damage to heavily equipped opponents is limited, and its penetration is also insufficient."
Lei Xiao looked at the description on the attribute column and nodded thoughtfully.
In the previous battle with the Fourth Prince, the opponent's swift and fierce thrusts caused him great trouble, making it impossible for him to launch an effective counterattack.
But now, with the blessing of [Glimpse Shadow Chasing Light Break], my thrusting sword skills will undoubtedly be greatly improved!
With joy in his heart, Lei Xiao opened the attribute column of the second purple skill scroll.
[Name: Ben Lei Tian Yin]
[Level: Level 5]
[Explanation: Thunder attribute group auxiliary defense magic is a special skill of a certain thunder mage. Opening the thunder field within oneself can not only enhance the power of one's own thunder attribute spells, but also enhance the strength of one's own magic shield.
.
After opening the thunder field, it will also conduct indiscriminate group thunder attacks on targets around itself.]
"This is a rare spell that takes into account attack, defense and auxiliary functions at the same time. It just fits in with my other lightning attribute attack magic!"
"Moreover, even if I am alone among the enemy's army, I will still have the power to fight. After all, the Thunder Field will automatically attack any enemy around me!"
"The most important thing is that it is obvious from the description that spells in this field will continue to exist as long as they are activated and will not affect the release of other spells. On the contrary, the field of [Phantom Illusion] has some similarities.
"
"All in all, after mastering [Thunder Thunder], my spell attack, spell defense, and group-fighting abilities will all be greatly improved!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and directly injected a ray of magic power into it and began to study.
As a large number of complex and mysterious chanting magic symbols, ways to form magic circles, and ways to use magic circuit energy poured into Lei Xiao's mind, it took a while before Lei Xiao came back to his senses from the vast ocean of knowledge.
.
"It is indeed the special magic of the great thunder mage. It is indeed extraordinary."
Lei Xiao covered his slightly swollen head, and after relaxing for a while, he continued to study [Liaoying Zhuguangbo].
This time, what flooded into Lei Xiao's mind were a large number of battle scenes that were like actual experiences. Sometimes they were like silhouettes, and sometimes they were like continuous battle scenes.
Starting, thrusting, evading, counterattacking, killing the enemy... Various active attack moves and defense methods, as well as the corresponding energy circuit operation methods, are like a piece of rough jade being gradually carved into a masterpiece.
The entire process was engraved in Lei Xiao's mind.
After thinking about it carefully in his mind for a while, Lei Xiao slowly opened his eyes.
"Not bad, not bad. I feel like we have taken another big step forward in the vast wasteland of strength."
Lei Xiao stood up and began to move his muscles at will.
After Lei Xiao had been active for a while, Ariel, who had finished practicing, opened her starry eyes.
Although only one Demonic Moon Condensation Pill was refined, without the help of another energy vortex and divine power, Ariel's refining time was naturally not as fast as Lei Xiao's.
"Congratulations, Lord, for reaching the peak of double fourth level!"
Feeling the faint powerful aura emanating from Lei Xiao's body, Ariel's starry eyes lit up and she immediately threw herself into the former's arms.
"My dear little princess is the same. She is also a fourth-level peak light magician."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and touched Ariel's head.
Since the latter had just washed his hair, a faint fresh fragrance, along with the smooth feel, entered Lei Xiao's nasal cavity.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest."
Lei Xiao, who was immediately interested, didn't think about anything else. He put the light crystal stone on the bedside table into his bag, making the light immediately become much hazy.
…
The next morning, Lei Xiao and Ariel still got up very early.
As usual, after Lei Xiao and Ariel finished breakfast, they returned to the territory to deal with daily matters, while Ariel immediately began to prepare for appointments with various small and medium-sized neutral organizations.
Both of them clearly understood that with the passage of time, the invading army from the five directions, like the god of death, was getting closer and closer to the country's gate, so they would not waste a single moment of time.
After returning to the palace, Lei Xiao first listened to the palace briefing compiled today.
Although diplomats from various countries were secretly imprisoned, the news of the invading army was not made public.
But whether in the royal capital or the palace, people are still panicking, and the news has obviously not been blocked.
"Is this really so? Even if there is no news within the palace, the enemy spies hidden in the royal capital and surrounding cities have already spread everything."
Lei Xiao frowned, then relaxed his brows.
This was undoubtedly within his expectations. He had already taken corresponding countermeasures yesterday, and had also spread various news that the Lengyan Kingdom had extremely powerful mysterious helpers coming to help. He was not afraid of the five directions at all.
The army.
In this way, at least to a certain extent, the tension of the people and soldiers can be alleviated, so that they will not collapse without a fight.
"Lord Qi, the leaders of various small and medium-sized neutral organizations are all in place."
In the Queen's Lounge of Lion Castle, when she saw Lei Xiao walking into the door, Ariel immediately came up to him.
"Although there are more than twenty small and medium-sized neutral organizations officially registered in the royal capital, most of them are just branches without the decision-making power to participate in the war. Even if they have the right to make suggestions, they have to return to the headquarters for negotiation, and there is no time at all."
"So, after careful selection, my subordinates found a total of five neutral organizations that are relatively strong and have their headquarters and key personnel all within the Kingdom of Cold Flame."
"They are the "Green Adventurers Guild", "Thunder Magic Coven", "Jet Knights", "Mirror Witches Guild" and "Bard Alliance"."
Ariel nodded to Lei Xiao and continued the introduction.
"Among them, the "Green Adventurer's Guild" has fifth-level strong men sitting there. The leaders of the four regional sects are all above the fourth-level senior strong men. As for the overall strength, the weakest one is enough to rival a legion.
,"
"By the way, Lord, the president of the "Mirror Witch Association" is a fourth-level and six-star illusionist. His popularity in the Cold Flame Kingdom is second only to Erza!"
After hearing what Ariel said, Lei Xiao's eyes couldn't help but light up and he continued to listen carefully.
