82: Winter's Guardian
In the lounge.
Liu Ren, pulling his younger brother Liu Yi, had already snuck out to buy snacks and drinks for the celebration, while Xu Ling'er politely declined, citing Cultivation as her reason, intending to continue her deep study and unwilling to give up any chance to surpass Tang Gao.
As Xu Ling'er performed Qi Refining, she watched Tang Gao sitting on the sofa, eyes closed in rest, her smile exceptionally sweet.
Well done!
Just keep being lazy like that!
Watch me surpass you, you lazy bum!
Li Yuan silently took out his phone and quietly played a second-grade lesson, following the teacher on the screen to learn characters and simple math.
During this time, he had been tutored in basic compulsory education by the Violent Justice Emissary and the uncles and aunts in the Guardian Bureau.
Everyone praised him as a promising talent who needed to study hard, assuring him of a greater future.
Li Yuan didn't understand why, but knowing that these things could help him become a powerful Cultivator, he began to study diligently.
Tang Gao closed his eyes and began to check his gains.
Clone: Destruction Magic God
Exclusive Talents:
Super Cooldown: Greatly reduces the cooldown of Spell-based skills used, based on Rank and relevant attributes.
Spell Resonance: For every elemental rune forged, the power of the corresponding elemental ability is enhanced once.
(Note: Elemental runes vary in Rank and effect; please check them yourself.)
(Please click on the Elemental Rune Manual for detailed instructions.)
Tang Gao's eyebrow twitched fiercely, and he almost jumped up from the sofa in excitement, but remembering Li Yuan and Xu Ling'er were still in the room, he managed to conceal his agitation.
It is well-known that whether it's the Zhanqi System or the Spell System, any move released will have a period of stiffness and a re-adjustment of energy fluctuations.
This greatly tests the endurance of the meridians and the purity of the energy.
The 'Super Cooldown' skill isn't just strong; it's incredibly strong, beyond measure!
Moreover, he also had the ability of unlimited evolution, which could allow the Destruction Magic God to evolve numerous attributes, eventually creating an all-system Magic God!
As for the Spell Resonance talent, there's no need to say more; isn't this the legendary Rune Master!
Legend has it that this profession only had one person in each generation, and every Legacy holder was the strongest Spell user in history.
It was even rumored that in history, there was once a Rune Master who almost blew up several worlds into smithereens.
But in the end... this rumor had no follow-up, only letting everyone know how strong a Rune Master was.
Is this a Clone as a reward?
This reward is clearly a Spell artillery position that can take on ten thousand!
As for maximum mana, mana recovery speed, mana purity, and other such things, they can all be accumulated through the evolution bar!
Moreover, although the Destruction Magic God currently doesn't have an invincible mana cap, I do!
Upon seeing this Clone, Tang Gao slightly shifted his angle while resting his eyes, ensuring Li Yuan and Xu Ling'er couldn't see his face, then quietly opened his eyes and chuckled madly.
No, it's too satisfying; I must chuckle a bit.
After a good chuckle, Tang Gao felt the joy in his heart calm down a lot, then he straightened his posture and continued to feign calmness, resting his eyes.
Xu Ling'er, on the other hand, curiously glanced twice, seeing that Tang Gao was already being lazy, her smile so wide her mouth almost couldn't close, and she continued to seize the time to train.
Li Yuan obediently watched the teacher's lecture on his phone, not paying much attention to the outside world.
After his moment of joy, Tang Gao then clicked on the future mission, 'Guardian of Winter'.
Mission Name: Guardian of Winter
Mission Content: Xu Family Village suffered devastating damage from the Yao Race; General Liu Jianguo, who came to support, was diverted midway, and the search team is being intentionally interfered with by the enemy. The only Guardian remaining in the village has only one last chance to use their talent; the fate of this village is uncertain.
Static... Warning: This mission is being interfered with by your future self. Once the mission begins, it will only last for fifteen minutes.
Mission Reward: Exclusive Divine Artifact - Ren Wang Sword
Tang Gao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately chose to accept the mission and enter the preparation space.
The preparation space is a space that opens if he dies during mission execution.
Each time a mission begins, external time is paused. Regardless of whether he completes or fails the mission, only when he clicks 'submit' will he return to this time node, and Main World time will resume normal flow, free from the Reincarnation of time and space.
Xu Family Village, this is a unique village, or rather, like other places with military legions, there are also villages like Xu Family Village.
Xu Family Village is a village affiliated with a military legion, relying on the legion system. The village contains relatives of soldiers, children, or retired soldiers.
The sense of military order in such villages is very strong; there are basically no petty thefts, everyone is a Martial Artist, and many are soldier reservists.
Unlike ordinary villages, Xu Family Village is a village that lives by the military system; everything revolves around the military or military activities.
Here there is militarized management, here there is militarized ordinary equipment, here there are militarized people... This seemingly ordinary affiliated village once produced two heroic ice-element warriors.
These two warriors were a pair of brothers, and their most famous saying was: 'Not only did the enemy not surrender, they dared to resist!'
Their most outstanding achievement was that the two, fighting as special forces, inflicted devastating blows on the enemy's command system and small units, even capturing thousands of Yao Race members and escorting them back.
Yes, after doing so many shocking things, the two of them even captured thousands of Yao Race members and escorted them back.
Few people know the details of this matter, but most people know the reputation of this pair of Xu brothers.
Because of this, Xu Family Village became a thorn in the side of the Yao Race.
If the Yao Race seized the opportunity to penetrate the defenses and entered, what they would most want to do when passing through this region would undoubtedly be to butcher Xu Family Village, to wipe away their shame and avenge the blood feud of their predecessors.
Tang Gao was numb, clutching his head: "Damn it!"
Life is full of unexpected twists!
Why did my future self interfere with the mission and only give me fifteen minutes!?
Is there some secret here?
And!
I can beat a penetrating Yao Race unit, but!
I'd have to reveal my trump cards to do that!
On the surface, I can only use myself and three Clones!
This is practically forcing me to Cultivate into an invincible War God!
Will I give up on saving Xu Family Village?
I will not give up!
Then!
Tang Gao suddenly thought of something and instantly understood why his future self had interfered.
Tang Gao's expression was strange: "Could it be that I'm supposed to fuse the power of the Black Shadow Clan to form explosive Battle power?"
This move is possible, but it greatly tests one's own endurance.
He would win, but the cost might be... significant.
Then...
A sharp glint flashed in Tang Gao's eyes, and he clenched his fist with extreme force: "Screw it! What cost to consider! No matter what I encounter, I will not give up protecting you all!"
Born a Liang City native, protected and raised by the people of Liang City, Tang Gao directly chose to go all out!
He'd been reckless before, what was there to fear this time!
Warm reminder: Due to intentional interference, all individuals except you and your Clones will not retain memories.
Charge! Kill them!
Resisting the Yao Race is everyone's responsibility!
