78: Chapter 78, Second Epic Hero

After resolving all the invaders, Lin Xiao opened his attribute panel.

slaughter point: 24.58 million.

"Over 20 million slaughter point."

Lin Xiao showed a look of satisfaction; his hard work had not been in vain.

The bulk of these slaughter point naturally came from Void Monster; although he had killed many hostile lords, they gave too little, totaling only over a million.

"It is time to upgrade a hero's grade."

20 million slaughter point could raise a perfect-grade hero to Epic Grade.

Three heroes, which one to upgrade first?

Lin Xiao quickly weighed his options.

Soon, he made a decision: Jiang Yao.

Compared to Zhong Yue and Tu Lie, Jiang Yao was more comprehensive, possessing Dual Mastery of Spear and Bow, capable of both long-range attacks and melee combat, and Lin Xiao often had her guard the home base.

The importance of the home base went without saying; with Jiang Yao's powerful strength, Lin Xiao could rest easier.

The passive skill Outstanding Talent was even more extraordinary.

It gave Jiang Yao stronger Aptitude and Comprehension Ability, meaning she would encounter fewer Bottleneck and barriers while she Cultivate.

Originally, this skill didn't seem like much, but as Jiang Yao's grade rose to perfect-grade, it also became A-grade, and its power gradually became apparent.

Now, Jiang Yao's Cultivation speed had already far surpassed that of Tu Lie and Zhong Yue.

If Outstanding Talent rose to S-grade, Jiang Yao's Aptitude and Comprehension Ability would likely be even more astonishing.

"Decided, I'll upgrade Jiang Yao."

Lin Xiao hesitated no longer and immediately summoned Jiang Yao.

"My Lord." Jiang Yao arrived before Lin Xiao and bowed respectfully.

"Prepare yourself, we are upgrading your grade again."

Lin Xiao didn't waste any words.

"What?"

Jiang Yao was taken aback; she had never expected her turn to upgrade her grade to come so soon.

"But, My Lord, Tu Lie and Zhong Yue haven't had their grades upgraded yet..."

Although she was very eager to upgrade her grade, Jiang Yao did not want to cause dissatisfaction among the other heroes because of herself.

"It doesn't matter. Since I am prioritizing your grade upgrade, I naturally have my reasons."

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Worried others will be dissatisfied?"

"Then work hard to prove to everyone else that you deserve this treatment."

Hearing these words full of trust from Lin Xiao, Jiang Yao took a deep breath, and her somewhat uneasy heart instantly calmed down.

"This subordinate obeys."

[Target detected as a perfect-grade hero. Do you wish to spend 20 million slaughter point to upgrade their grade?]

"Confirm."

As the words fell, 20 million slaughter point vanished instantly, and countless streaks of extremely dense blood-colored radiance swarmed out, enveloping Jiang Yao.

In the blink of an eye, a massive blood cocoon appeared.

Jiang Yao's transformation began.

Breaking through from perfect-grade to Epic Grade undoubtedly required more time.

As time passed, an increasingly powerful aura permeated through the blood cocoon and dissipated into the world.

An hour passed.

"Boom~"

The blood cocoon shattered with a boom, and accompanied by the sound of a Dragon roar, a figure shot straight into the sky.

Jiang Yao's figure was agile and graceful, moving freely across the world.

She quickly landed in front of Lin Xiao, her pretty face full of excitement.

"Thank you, My Lord, for the gift of rebirth."

"Mm."

Lin Xiao nodded. It was clear that Jiang Yao had changed significantly, so he immediately opened her attribute panel.

[Jiang Yao]

[Grade: Epic Grade]

[Rank: Tier 3]

[Physique: 51,000]

[Spirit: 47,000]

[Cultivation Technique: Cloud Dragon Spirit-Startling Scripture (S-grade)]

[Skills: Outstanding Talent (S-grade), Dual Mastery of Spear and Bow (S-grade), Prairie Fire Spear Technique (S-grade), Explosive Flame Arrow (S-grade), Martial Dao God-Connection (S-grade)]

The original four skills had all become S-grade; both their effects and power had risen by a level.

She had gained an extra S-grade skill, Martial Dao God-Connection.

Lin Xiao hurriedly checked this new skill.

The skill Martial Dao God-Connection was very powerful and had a total of two layers of effects.

The first was passive, allowing Jiang Yao to feel as if she were divinely assisted while she Cultivate, greatly enhancing the effects of Cultivation.

The second was active, which was also a burst; once used, she could enter the state of Martial God Possession, and her strength would instantly soar.

"This is a bit exaggerated."

Lin Xiao was shocked.

Other people's burst skills were just bursts, but Jiang Yao's burst skill also had the effect of enhancing Cultivation results...

The biggest change was the Cultivation Technique.

It changed from the A-grade Azure Sky Origin Technique to the S-grade Cloud Dragon Spirit-Startling Scripture.

These two Cultivation Technique could not be said to be completely unrelated, but the gap between them was also very large.

The huge change in the Cultivation Technique was obviously due to Jiang Yao's super strong Comprehension Ability.

Her ability to fly through the air was not a skill; it should have been something she comprehended from the Cultivation Technique.

"With S-grade Outstanding Talent and S-grade Martial Dao God-Connection, how astonishing must Jiang Yao's current Cultivation speed be..."

With her grade upgraded to Epic Grade, plus two S-grade Cultivation skills, there was no doubt that Jiang Yao's current Cultivation speed would likely leave even Qian Ying far behind.

Lin Xiao suddenly had a realization; perhaps Jiang Yao was the one most suited to his talent.

"Go."

"Step up your Cultivation and increase your strength as quickly as possible."

Lin Xiao said, full of expectation. He also wanted to see how fast Jiang Yao's Cultivation speed could be when all resources were maximized.

"Yes."

Jiang Yao left impatiently. At this moment, countless inspirations were bursting forth in her mind. The barriers and Bottleneck she had previously encountered in Cultivation seemed to no longer exist. She couldn't wait to immediately throw herself into Cultivation to increase her strength as quickly as possible.

"Continue the slaughter."

There were no Void Monster spawning for the moment, but Lin Xiao did not stop and continued his own slaughter.

He was not worried about accidentally stepping into a trap.

With so many veteran lord from the Four Great Races, how could it be possible for all of them to set ambushes?

Traps targeting him would only appear in the territories of those lords who invaded him.

One veteran lord after another was reduced to ashes under the falling Meteorite. Even though they already knew Lin Xiao's tactics, it was useless; under the disparity of absolute strength, they simply could not block him.

As this day passed.

Counting the invading lords, another 135 veteran lord had been killed.

The number of veteran lord killed was almost double that of the previous day.

One must know that on this day, in addition to invading hostile lords, Lin Xiao also went to the territories of the Prodigy to farm slaughter point, and also spent a lot of time dealing with invaders and taking revenge.

That he was still able to kill so many veteran lord was naturally because the strength of the Burning Sky Flame Dragon had become even stronger.

The Red Lotus Domain, along with an endless supply of growth resources like dragon blood grass, caused the strength growth speed of the Burning Sky Flame Dragon to far exceed the past.

Even while having to attend to invasions, their growth speed did not slow down much.

Among all the Troop Type in Lin Xiao's territory, their growth speed was the fastest, and their current attributes had reached as high as 60,000.

With their current strength, each expedition required only a few Burning Sky Flame Dragon to destroy a hostile lord's Lords Mansion, and precisely because of this, they were able to kill so many veteran lord.
