171: Chapter 167 The Return of Ten Thousand Swords!

He looked down at the demon beasts fleeing in disarray in the distance, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

A translucent panel floated by his side.

[Killed Emperor-rank BOSS: Nine-Headed Soul-Swallowing Python (Lv.71)]

[Obtained EXP: 100 million]

[Obtained Material: Snake Fang (Legendary-rank) × 18]

[Obtained Material: Snake Scale (Legendary-rank) × 12]

[Obtained Material: Snake Gallbladder (Legendary-rank) × 1]

[Obtained Equipment: Nine-Headed Dragon Sword (Legendary-rank) × 1]

[Congratulations! Level Up!]

[Current Level: Lv.47]

Lu Yuan's level soared directly to level 47.

Slime, Little Skeleton, Demon Pill, Iron-Eating Beast, Goblin...

Golden light of leveling up shone one after another on the bodies of the five major Magic Pets!

More importantly, the option markers for Hextech Runes simultaneously appeared above the heads of several Magic Pets!

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Good heavens... what a huge harvest!!"

The city gates were wide open.

Lu Yuan rode the Iron-Eating Beast, walking at the very front of the procession.

Behind him was the mighty Demon Suppression Army and the team of academy prodigies.

The streets on both sides were packed with people.

A sea of heads stretched from the city gate all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, with no end in sight.

"Lu Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan!"

No one knew who had shouted first.

Immediately after, the entire street erupted!

Deafening cheers rose up like a tidal wave, one after another.

Countless hands waved in the air, and countless faces were filled with excitement and fanaticism.

"He killed an Emperor-rank BOSS! That's an Emperor-rank one!"

"From today on, Lu Yuan is my idol!"

"Idol? That's a god!"

Lu Yuan rode on the back of the Iron-Eating Beast, the corners of his mouth unable to stop curling up.

This feeling of being surrounded, cheered for, and treated as a hero... it felt great.

He turned his head slightly and glanced at the members of Baiyujing following behind him.

Nangong Yao puffed out his chest, walking with a swagger.

Su Yu and Cheng Niannian followed behind, their faces full of pride.

He Yehua was so excited that her face was flushed red; her voice was almost hoarse from shouting, yet she was still following the crowd, yelling:

"Boss is awesome."

"Boss is mighty."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

This feeling of being acknowledged was truly not bad.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion.

Lu Zhentian, Li Muyao, Principal Wu Long, General Yuan Muzhi, and the others headed straight for the conference room as soon as they entered the hall.

Although the beast tide had retreated, the news from the Starry Sky Battlefield weighed on everyone's chest like a giant boulder.

Lu Yuan did not go.

He went straight back to his room.

In the room, two maids had already prepared hot water.

"Young Master, is the water temperature suitable?"

"Mm."

Lu Yuan took off his coat and soaked his whole body in the bathtub, letting out a long sigh of comfort.

The hot water covered his shoulders, and steam swirled around.

He closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the system panel.

Slime: LV.47

Little Skeleton: LV.46

Demon Pill: LV.44

Iron-Eating Beast: LV.43

Goblin: LV.37

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.

The rewards from this Emperor-rank BOSS were truly massive.

However, what he was looking forward to even more was the Hextech Rune.

First, he pulled up the rune options for the Iron-Eating Beast.

With a slight shift of his consciousness, three cards appeared before his eyes.

[Gold · Donation]: Obtain 100,000 EXP, no questions asked.

[Gold · Sharpshooter Mage]: Your attacks deal additional physical damage equivalent to your Spirit attribute.

[Gold · Attribute Stacking]: Obtain 3 random Attribute Forgers.

...

Lu Yuan took only one look before choosing the third one without hesitation.

[Attribute Stacking!]

This is the exclusive rune for the Dice Roller set.

[Dice Roller (5/5)]

[Silver Attribute Forger probability: 30%]

[Gold Attribute Forger probability: 50%]

[Prismatic Attribute Forger probability: 20%]

The five-piece set, all collected!

Lu Yuan's breathing quickened for a moment.

The probability of a Prismatic Attribute Forger was pushed directly to 20%.

This meant that for every five times the Iron-Eating Beast used an Attribute Forger, one would yield a Prismatic-level attribute bonus.

"Iron-Eating Beast... you're really going to take off now."

The Iron-Eating Beast seemed to sense something and suddenly opened its eyes in the courtyard.

It clenched its fists to keep up with its master's pace!

It flipped up and began to exercise frantically in the courtyard.

With every punch, the ground trembled.

Lu Yuan smiled and continued to look at the next one.

Demon Pill.

Three cards appeared before his eyes.

[Silver · Slap]

[Silver · Snowy Day]

[Silver · Great Strength]

Three Silver runes, nothing to struggle over.

The Slap rune could add extra damage during attacks and also cause a knockback effect.

For a Magic Pet like the Demon Pill that relied on ramming for damage, it was a perfect fit.

That's the one.

Finally, the Goblin.

The Goblin's level had also successfully risen to level 37.

It could select one Hextech Rune.

Three cards appeared.

[Gold · Soul Devour]: When pinning down an enemy unit, obtain 20 Maximum HP.

[Prismatic · Multi-Shot]: When your ranged attack hits, fire two additional projectiles. Gain trait: Sure-Hit, ranged attacks are guaranteed to hit!

[Prismatic · Ultimate Tool]: Skills above Super-rank have their cooldown reduced by 80%, but other skills cannot be reduced.

Lu Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

[Multi-Shot!]

This rune was simply a perfect fit for the Goblin!

When a ranged attack hits, fire two additional projectiles.

Coupled with the Sure-Hit trait, ranged attacks are guaranteed to hit.

One shot fired, and it's like ten thousand arrows flying at once.

Plus the "Vulnerable" rune and "Sniper Star" that the Goblin already possessed...

Lu Yuan took a deep breath.

He dared not imagine how terrifying the output would be then.

He chose Multi-Shot without hesitation.

However, Lu Yuan rubbed his chin.

To trigger 'Vulnerable', the Goblin needed to have a continuous damage effect.

To achieve the 'Myriad Swords Return to Origin' effect.

In Hextech Brawl, Myriad Swords Return to Origin is definitely the most spectacular and also the most broken rune combination!!
