134: Chapter 134 Strength Enhancement
"Next is Light Wing Flight." Wang Sheng stood up, surging golden spirit power swirling within him.
"I need to know how long Tier 2 Barbarian General can fly, and what I can do in the air. Gather at the training grounds after the meeting."
The people in the meeting hall nodded.
Heavenly Strategist Shangguan Xuan's beautiful eyes lingered on Wang Sheng for a moment; in that instant, the Heavenly Strategist's mind had already deduced over a dozen tactical schemes for Light Wing Flight combined with the Holy Light Cavalry.
On the training grounds, the morning sun rose from the opposite bank of the Lingxi River to the height of the city walls, golden light covering the entire ground of the training grounds.
The Holy Light Cavalry was conducting morning training under the leadership of Murong Xue.
Silver light streaked across the training grounds, and the hoofbeats of the Barbarian Horned Horses were rhythmic and powerful in the morning light.
Murong Xue rode a Barbarian Horned Horse, weaving through the training grounds, her silver armor shimmering in the morning sun, and the white-gold Holy Light Resonance runes traced arcs of silver light with the movement of her spear.
By the Lingxi River, Su Mengyao was cultivating a new batch of spirit fields, the emerald green Power of Nature exuding vitality in the morning light, her long green hair fluttering in the morning breeze of the Spirit Garden.
In the Northern District next to the barracks, several tribesmen with Stealth Affinity were undergoing stealth training.
Wang Sheng stood in the center of the training grounds, the golden spirit power of Tier 2 Barbarian General slowly gathering in his body toward his shoulder blades.
He took a deep breath, and the spirit power condensed at his shoulder blades into the purest golden light.
The skin beneath his shoulder blades grew brighter and hotter as the golden light intensified; the spirit power of Tier 2 Barbarian General rotated and gathered in his shoulder blades into pure golden points of light, and then...
Two golden light wings unfolded from his shoulder blades.
Every feather of the light wings was condensed from the purest golden Holy Light.
The morning sun shone on the light wings, refracting arcs of golden light.
The moment the light wings unfolded above the training grounds, the ground within a hundred-meter radius was blanketed in golden light.
The Barbarian Horned Horses neighed in submission at the edge of the training grounds, and the Holy Light Cavalry stopped their training one after another to look up.
Murong Xue reined in her Barbarian Horned Horse and looked up at the golden light in the center of the training grounds, the reflection of the light wings shining in her brown eyes.
Su Mengyao, by the Lingxi River, also looked up, her emerald eyes reflecting the golden light in the sky, her lips curving into a flower-like smile.
He gave the light wings a gentle flap, and his body lifted into the air.
The spirit power of Tier 2 Barbarian General supported Light Wing Flight, rising above the training grounds, the wind whistling in his ears.
The golden light wings unfurled thirty meters in the air, each feather vibrating slightly in the wind.
The Lingxi River wound like a silver ribbon beneath his feet, the walls of the Bright Tribe spread out like a solid shield.
The roofs of the Savage Beast skin huts were arranged like a tranquil chessboard in the morning light, and the top of the Cultivation Tower shimmered with a faint golden glow of spirit power.
He hovered thirty meters above the training grounds, the golden spirit power of Tier 2 Barbarian General slowly flowing away within the light wings, but it was far more relaxed than when he was at Barbarian General Rank 1.
The rate of spirit power consumption, with the reserves of Tier 2 Barbarian General, was finally no longer alarming.
He tested the dive version of Holy Light Slash in the air.
The golden light wings tucked in slightly at thirty meters high, and his body, guided by the light wings, dove down at a nearly vertical angle.
The wind shrieked in his ears, and the thick golden spirit power gathered in his right fist during the acceleration of the dive.
The golden arc of the Holy Light Slash erupted from his right fist, striking a Savage Beast skin target at the edge of the training grounds.
The target shattered into powder under the golden arc, the fragments kicking up a circle of golden ripples on the ground of the training grounds, and a large pit was instantly blasted into the ground.
The force of the dive was thirty percent stronger than when released from the ground; the potential energy brought by the height and the spirit power of the Holy Light Slash merged during the dive.
With just the spirit power of Tier 2 Barbarian General, this strike was pushed to an attack power approaching Barbarian General Rank 4.
The Holy Light Cavalry at the edge of the training grounds let out an exclamation, and a flash of excitement crossed Murong Xue's brown eyes as she gripped her silver spear slightly tighter.
He also tested the sharp turn of Light Wing Flight; the light wings deflected rapidly in the air, and his body traced a golden arc at thirty meters high.
He swept from the northern end of the training grounds to the southern end and back again; the consumption of spirit power during the turn was twenty percent higher than in straight flight, but the spirit power reserves of Tier 2 Barbarian General could fully support it.
Spirit power was being consumed rapidly; ten seconds of flight reduced the spirit power reserves of Tier 2 Barbarian General by thirty percent from their peak, but he still hovered steadily in mid-air.
At fifteen seconds, the loss of spirit power finally reached a critical point, and he descended slowly, the light wings dissipating into golden afterglow behind him.
His feet stepped back onto the ground of the training grounds, and the light wings completely dissipated into golden afterglow behind him.
The spirit power reserves of Tier 2 Barbarian General were consumed by nearly forty percent after fifteen seconds of Light Wing Flight.
The consumption ratio was much lower than the ten seconds at Barbarian General Rank 1, but it still could not be used continuously.
Murong Xue rode her Barbarian Horned Horse to his side, her silver armor shimmering with white-gold light in the morning sun.
Her brown eyes held undisguised excitement and eagerness:
"The power of the diving Holy Light Slash is close to Barbarian General Rank 4. If you dive from the air while I charge from the ground, a pincer attack from two directionsβno Barbarian General could stop it."
"Hmm." Wang Sheng looked down at the residual golden afterglow on his shoulder blades. "Fifteen seconds. Five seconds more than at Barbarian General Rank 1. The spirit power consumption ratio has also decreased. At Barbarian General Rank 1, ten seconds of Light Wing Flight almost exhausted all my spirit power. At Tier 2 Barbarian General, fifteen seconds only consumes forty percent. If I reach Barbarian General Rank 9, I should be able to control it completely."
Heavenly Strategist Shangguan Xuan stood before the window of the meeting hall, watching his figure rise and fall, a flash of realization from strategic calculation crossing the Heavenly Strategist's beautiful eyes.
"Light Wing Flight combined with the Holy Light Cavalry, aerial reconnaissance plus ground charge." Her voice came from the window, every word landing in a precise position.
"Overlooking the battlefield from a hundred meters in the air, a full-force strike to decide the outcome. At Barbarian General Rank 1, you could only fly for ten seconds, just enough to fly from the city wall to the Lingxi River and back. But at Tier 2 Barbarian General, fifteen seconds is enough for you to complete a full battlefield overview and then a diving attack from a hundred meters in the air. Because speed and power are enhanced exponentially. Wang Sheng, your Holy Light Warrior is transforming from a ground warrior to an aerial warrior."
Wang Sheng looked at Heavenly Strategist Shangguan Xuan's beautiful eyes; the Heavenly Strategist's deductions were always three steps ahead of him.
The spirit power of Tier 2 Barbarian General combined with fifteen seconds of aerial time from Light Wing Flight, and greatly enhanced speed and power.
It meant he could see the deployment of the entire battlefield from a hundred meters in the air, then dive to attack the most critical target, and then use Light Wing Flight to disengage from the battlefield.
On the ground, there was Murong Xue's Holy Light Cavalry charge; in the shadows, there was Liu Ruyan's stealth assassination; in the air, there was his Holy Light dive.
The trinity three-dimensional combat mode was taking shape in Wang Sheng's Light Wing Flight.
At the other end of the training grounds, the system prompt after activating the Shadow Legion unit blueprint appeared in his field of vision.
βββββββββββββ
Unit Blueprint: Shadow Legion
βββββββββββββ
[Unit]: Shadow Legion (Stealth Assassination Elite)
[Rank]: A β S (Grows with the commander's rank)
[Formation Conditions]:
1. Led by a Stealth Affinity user β (Liu Ruyan)
2. Stealth-type career soldiers (5 screened)
3. Special training material: Shadow Core
(Located in the deeper Shadow Clan stronghold in the Savage Beast Forest)
[Activated Functions]:
Β· Basic Stealth Assassination Training
Β· Light-Shadow Combination Attack (Combined with Holy Light Warrior)
Β· Shadow Perception (Perception range +50% while in stealth)
[Pending Activation Functions]:
Β· Shadow Raid (Requires Shadow Core)
Β· Phantom Clone Technique (Requires Shadow Core)
Β· Shadow Legion Full Strength (Requires Shadow Core)
βββββββββββββ
The first two conditions were already met, and the Shadow Core would need to be obtained by Liu Ruyan later.
But the basic stealth assassination training and the Light-Shadow Combination Attack could already begin, and the prototype of the Light and Shadow Legion could be formed first.
Although the name of the unit blueprint was Shadow Legion, Liu Ruyan insisted on naming the legion "Light and Shadow Legion."
Because she was a legion formed for Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng was her light.
