33: Power Mall

Lu Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.

The items in this Faction Store were not flashy; they were all simple and direct.

Bloodline Evolution! Advancement! Skill Learning! Equipment, etc.

It was almost as if it explicitly stated that with enough Faction Points, Lu Yu could entirely create an invincible team, all with Ancient Bloodlines and SSS-rank.

If the Evolution Panel could make him invincible in this world, then the Faction Panel could make his faction invincible in this world!

Browsing the store, Lu Yu found that the items were mostly similar, but each item was tiered, applicable to different ranks, and priced differently.

Taking bloodline evolution as an example, for C-rank it cost 10,000 Faction Points, for D-rank it was 5,000 Faction Points, for E-rank it was 1,000 Faction Points, and for F-rank it was 100 Faction Points, which was basically ten times the Evolution Points Lu Yu needed to evolve to that rank!

At the same time, different ranks of bloodline evolution would also have different effects; for example, 100 Faction Points might turn a sparrow into an eagle, 1,000 points could turn a sparrow into an eagle with a hint of special attribute in its bloodline, 5,000 points could turn a sparrow into an eagle capable of awakening special attributes, and 10,000 points could turn a sparrow into a condor.

As for the price of advancement potions, they were consistent with the Evolution Points Lu Yu needed for advancement: 10 Faction Points to advance to F-rank, 100 Faction Points to E-rank, 500 Faction Points to D-rank, and 1,000 Faction Points to C-rank.

Lu Yu looked at this complete store and understood his future requirements for subordinates:

Loyalty!

As long as they were loyal to him, even an ordinary ant, Lu Yu could spend Faction Points to evolve it into a Sky-Devouring Ant!

Seeing that he only had a paltry 1,000 Faction Points, Lu Yu couldn't suppress his curiosity and bought a random equipment lottery ticket.

After Lu Yu chose to use it, a lottery machine suddenly appeared on the panel, constantly spinning.

After observing for a while, Lu Yu found that the lottery machine spun too fast; he couldn't see what equipment was inside, so he simply shouted "Stop."

The lottery machine stopped on command, and a ring was displayed on the screen.

【Bone Ring】: (Tier 4 Low-grade Accessory) When worn, it increases (C-rank 10%, D-rank 50%, E-rank 100%) spirit energy recovery speed. Can be worn by C-rank and below; ineffective above C-rank.

Lu Yu's eyes lit up; this effect was quite good.

In battles of the same rank, spirit energy is one of the key factors that can determine victory.

Increasing spirit energy recovery speed by 10% could play a crucial role in the battle.

Think about it: in a battle between two individuals of the same rank, if one's spirit energy is depleted and the other still has spirit energy, isn't that an immediate victory?

Lu Yu happily put it on his equipment slot.

According to the panel's settings, everyone had six equipment slots (two weapons, two armors, two accessories), allowing a total of six pieces of equipment.

Of course, this was only a limitation for equipment produced by the panel; self-forged and naturally formed equipment were completely unrestricted.

After wearing the Bone Ring, Lu Yu clearly felt a significant increase in his spirit energy recovery speed; the spirit energy he had consumed was almost instantly restored.

He got stronger again, how wonderful!

Closing the panel, Lu Yu decided to rest well and closed his eyes for a nap.

However, Lu Yu's spiritual sense followed the Giant Ox and the Mystic Winged Eagle to the territory of one of the D-rank ferocious beasts, the Two-Headed Wolf.

This Two-Headed Wolf was not large, only slightly bigger than an ordinary wolf, about the size of a Lion.

What was astonishing was that this ferocious beast actually had two heads!

Two wolf heads grew on its neck; their appearances were similar, the only difference being that the left wolf head had a red mark on its forehead, and the right wolf head had a blue mark on its forehead.

Roar!

The Two-Headed Wolf, sensing the Giant Ox and the Mystic Winged Eagle approaching together, immediately felt threatened. Its two wolf heads looked at the Giant Ox and the Mystic Winged Eagle separately, emitting low growls.

The Giant Ox stared at the Two-Headed Wolf, a glint of hatred in its eyes; he and the Two-Headed Wolf had a feud.

Previously, not long after he had evolved to D-rank, his son had accidentally encountered the Two-Headed Wolf. If he hadn't rescued him in time, his son would have probably become the Two-Headed Wolf's meal.

After a battle, although he had repelled the Two-Headed Wolf, the Giant Ox was also injured and took a long time to recover.

Now, seeing his enemy again, his eyes naturally turned red with anger.

The Mystic Winged Eagle let out a cry and communicated with the Two-Headed Wolf through mental power.

Their communication was very simple:

Two-Headed Wolf: You two came together, are you trying to deal with me?

Mystic Winged Eagle: The Giant Ox and I have submitted to a powerful ferocious beast and recognized him as our boss. Now my boss wants us to subdue you. You'd best surrender directly and not make us go to more trouble.

Two-Headed Wolf: Impossible, I'd rather die than surrender!

Mystic Winged Eagle: Giant Ox, go!

The Giant Ox nodded, his eyes immediately turning red, and he charged forward recklessly.

The Mystic Winged Eagle didn't delay either, flying directly into the sky. With a flap of his wings, three tornadoes formed, attacking the Two-Headed Wolf from three directions.

Three tornadoes plus the Giant Ox, attacking from all four sides.

Seeing this, the Two-Headed Wolf let out a roar. The wolf head with the red mark immediately opened its mouth and spat a ball of flame, charging towards the Giant Ox, while the wolf head with the blue mark exhaled a burst of cold air, landing in the other three directions, forming three ice shields, attempting to block the tornadoes.

The Giant Ox met the flames without any hesitation. A light flashed on his horns, making his already sharp horns even sharper. He pushed through the flames, charging forward, embodying the word "reckless" to the fullest.

Bang bang bang!

The tornadoes were extremely fast, hitting the three ice shields in an instant.

Crack—

The not-so-thick ice shields, struck by the tornadoes, instantly developed cracks. As the tornadoes continued to spin, the cracks on the ice shields spread, eventually shattering and exploding.

At this moment, the Giant Ox's horns also arrived close, greatly alarming the Two-Headed Wolf.

As a D-rank ferocious beast, he wouldn't flinch against either the Giant Ox or the Mystic Winged Eagle alone, but now being attacked from both sides, he instantly fell into a disadvantage.

Unable to dodge, the Two-Headed Wolf could only use his spirit energy to form a spirit energy shield in front of him to take the hit.

Boom!

The Giant Ox's body was massive; this impact was earth-shattering.

The spirit energy shield in front of the Two-Headed Wolf shattered upon impact, and then the Two-Headed Wolf was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

If not for the blue-marked wolf head spitting out a blast of frost at the critical moment, disrupting the Giant Ox and allowing the Two-Headed Wolf to shift his body slightly, he would have surely been hit by those ferocious horns, and even if he didn't die, he would have been severely injured.

Opportunity!

The Mystic Winged Eagle in the sky, seeing the Two-Headed Wolf injured, his eyes lit up, and he dove down, his talons reaching for the Two-Headed Wolf.

At the same time, a bloody aura swirled around the Mystic Winged Eagle's talons, indicating that the Mystic Winged Eagle also had a skill to strengthen his talons.

The Mystic Winged Eagle arrived in an instant, his sharp talons clawing at the Two-Headed Wolf's neck and throat.
