520: Life Guardian

Inside the room.

As the mist formed by dense life magic power was swallowed by the vortex, Mu Ling’s figure appeared before Wang Chen’s eyes.

At this moment, Mu Ling had grown from palm-sized to about the height of an adult forearm. The wooden battle armor she wore was adorned with more exquisite and complex patterns, exuding a profound and mysterious aura.

Seeing this, Wang Chen knew that Mu Ling’s Breakthrough was complete. Without hesitation, he moved his thoughts, and Mu Ling’s new attribute information appeared before his eyes.

Beast Pet: Forest Elf.

Nickname: Mu Ling.

Gender: Female.

Age: One month (Youth Stage).

Rank: Level 70.

Tier: Ancestral Divine Beast.

Talent: Infinite Growth (SSS)

Four-Dimensional Attributes: Strength: 3750; Wisdom: 4450; Physique: 3750; Agility: 3850. (Without any BUFFs, equipment, or item enhancements.)

Loyalty: 100.

Equipment: None.

Introduction: Omitted.

...

Scanning the attribute panel, Wang Chen immediately noticed the newly appeared SSS-Rank skill:

Life Guardian.

He directly opened the skill’s introduction.

Life Guardian (SSS): Active skill, applies a shield with extremely high defense to a single target. The shield’s strength is equivalent to the sum of Wisdom and Physique attributes. While the shield persists, the target will receive continuous recovery effects equivalent to a powerful healing spell. If the shield is broken, it will cause an attack equivalent to fifty percent of the shield’s strength to the surroundings.

“Indeed!”

Wang Chen’s eyes sparkled upon seeing the skill’s introduction.

Just as he had guessed, the new skill Mu Ling awakened upon Breakthrough was related to recovery.

However, it was even more powerful than he had imagined.

Not only could it provide recovery, but it could also grant an extremely powerful defensive shield. With Mu Ling’s Wisdom and Physique attributes, the shield’s strength was enough to withstand a full-power strike from a Seven-Turn Professional.

Moreover, it could also deal area-of-effect damage to the surroundings when shattered.

“This skill will definitely be incredibly powerful in group battles!”

Thinking with a heart full of excitement, Wang Chen quickly checked his own gains while Mu Ling had not yet awakened from the Breakthrough ritual.

Now that Mu Ling had entered her youth stage, the third growth stage, the proportion of feedback attributes he could receive from Mu Ling had increased to thirty percent.

At this moment.

As Wang Chen’s thoughts moved, his attribute information also appeared before his eyes.

...

His four-dimensional attributes were completely approaching the ten-thousand-point mark, and his highest Wisdom attribute even directly broke through ten thousand points.

Now, in terms of four-dimensional attributes alone, Wang Chen was already close to the limit of a Seven-Turn Professional.

“With this, I can proceed with my previous idea.”

Feeling the surging power within his body, Wang Chen couldn’t help but feel excited.

The Huiguang World was a treasure trove for him, and acting with the legion was too slow for increasing his strength.

For the next period, he planned to go to the areas not yet reclaimed by the natives and the legion, to cause trouble for the wild monsters and demonic creatures.

...

...

“You plan to act alone?”

In the branch command center, Lin Chunzhi looked at Wang Chen with some surprise.

He never expected that Wang Chen, the commander of this thousand-person team, would want to quit after just one day.

“That’s right, Senior Brother.”

Wang Chen nodded, speaking calmly:

“I came to the Huiguang World for training. The previous battle has already shown me what legion-level combat is like.”

“So, for the next period, I plan to delve into the areas occupied by wild monsters and demonic creatures to hone myself, improve my strength, and challenge powerful existences.”

“This…”

Lin Chunzhi rubbed his forehead, his expression a bit helpless.

Although he had long known that Wang Chen would make such a request, he didn’t expect it to come so quickly.

He had only just arrived in the Huiguang World a day ago.

However, thinking about everything that had happened that day, Lin Chunzhi felt somewhat relieved.

Upon arriving, he immediately encountered a legion-level battle and personally participated in and witnessed the demise of a legion.

Wang Chen’s experience that day was more intense and thrilling than his past year combined.

Moreover, in that battle, based on the strength Wang Chen displayed, Lin Chunzhi could already see that leading a thousand-person team would be a hindrance to him.

“Alright!”

“I can approve your request. The Eleventh Thousand-Person Team will temporarily be commanded by Li Yujiu.”

Lin Chunzhi thought for a moment before nodding and saying:

“Since you, Junior Brother, plan to delve into areas densely populated by wild monsters and demonic creatures, there are some things I need to tell you.”

“In these unreclaimed areas, the risks are uncontrollable. Lord-tier and King-tier demonic creatures are everywhere, and terrifying Evil Gods roam.”

“And…”

At this point, Lin Chunzhi paused, then continued with a grave tone:

“These wild monsters and demonic creatures are not the most dangerous. The most dangerous are the native powerhouses active in the unreclaimed areas.”

“Native powerhouses?”

Hearing Lin Chunzhi’s words, Wang Chen couldn’t help but be stunned, a look of confusion on his face.

“Senior Brother, aren’t those natives all holed up in the Heavenly Prefecture Plateau to the east, scared witless by the wild monsters and demonic creatures?”

“How dare they still enter the areas occupied by wild monsters and demonic creatures?”

Looking at Lin Chunzhi, Wang Chen asked with confusion.

“That’s what they say.”

“But Junior Brother, you must know, we have an old saying in Long Country: wealth moves hearts!”

“As long as there is enough profit, even ordinary people dare to take risks, let alone those powerhouses with extraordinary strength.”

Lin Chunzhi shook his head, speaking with some emotion.

“But isn’t that normal?”

“Hunting wild monsters and demonic creatures to obtain resources is no different from us entering monster-infested areas on Blue Star.”

Wang Chen felt quite relaxed upon hearing this. He had entered monster-infested areas multiple times on Blue Star and could now be considered an old hand.

“This is different!”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chunzhi shook his head solemnly.
