180: All things return to one

The dragon country's fire title does not provide substantial improvements.

However, anyone with this title can use military facilities.

For a newcomer, this is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Of course, it's not something that can be used casually.

Each time military facilities are used, a certain amount of military merit must be consumed.

Don't look at Xia Qi now as if he's a nouveau riche; if he really starts using it, this bit of military merit won't last long.

After all, normally, to use military facilities, one needs to reach the Rank of a Four-Star Military Lieutenant.

Most of them here are just non-commissioned officers, still a considerable distance from commissioned officers.

"Yes!"

The badge on Xia Qi's body glowed again, and the others looked on with envy.

The dragon country's fire title is not just a privilege, but also an honor.

"All stand!"

The surrounding Professionals all perked up and stood in place.

Chen Tianying scrutinized all the Professionals and nodded.

"Dismiss!"

With this command, it meant that this battle was completely over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the teleportation array suddenly lit up.

Batch after batch of people walked out of the teleportation array, all wearing uniform clothing.

Each of them was imposing and exuded a heroic spirit.

From their attire, it was clear that they were all soldiers.

Moreover, every one of them was an Advanced Professional.

They walked out of the teleportation array without a word, not even sparing a glance.

Xia Qi had looked for them at the outpost before, but none of them were there.

He didn't know where they went or what they did.

Before Xia Qi could ponder further, everyone's communicators rang at the same moment.

Various anxious voices came from the communicators, making it clear how urgent the situation was.

Soon, Xia Qi understood.

Not only had their outpost been attacked, but the Abyss had also launched attacks on various countries and other outposts.

In Dragon Country alone, three other outposts had been attacked.

Those Advanced Professionals had all gone to other outposts to provide assistance.

It seemed that the battles at the other outposts should be even more intense.

From what was heard through the communicators, even Third-Turn Professionals had participated in the battles.

It could be imagined that the battles at the other outposts were much more dangerous than here.

Cheng An walked over and said:

"This attack wasn't just on us."

"Our Dragon Country is fine, with no casualties."

"However, other countries, especially Sakura Country, are said to have suffered heavy losses."

War has always been cruel, especially the war with the Abyss.

This is a life-and-death struggle between races; mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

There is no victory or defeat between the two, only life and death.

Even if they wanted to surrender, the Abyss would not give those people a chance.

If they lost, it would inevitably be the end of their nation and race.

"We're lucky here; other outposts dispersed the pressure."

"Speaking of which, the attack we received should be the smallest."

"Coupled with the Formation laid down by the Dragon Country's top powerhouses, the Abyss also couldn't teleport those powerful demons over."

"However, although they can't be teleported, demons aren't unable to come."

"Some special demons can infiltrate through stealth and other methods to assassinate specific talents."

"Xia Qi, you must be careful!"

Cheng An warned.

Xia Qi's performance this time was too outstanding.

Especially his attack on the Flame Demon King, the opponent had already remembered him.

Although the Flame Demon King cannot come over, he has a large army of demons under his command.

If they were to kill him at all costs, it would be a very troublesome matter.

Especially now that Xia Qi, not yet a Second-Turn Professional, already possesses such formidable strength.

The opponent will definitely try to assassinate him given any opportunity.

Similar incidents have occurred before.

Some Human Race Geniuses and Prodigies were assassinated before they could fully grow.

"I will be careful."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qi also became vigilant.

Suddenly, Xia Qi felt a gaze fixed on him.

He followed the gaze and saw that it was Sima Mingyue.

Seeing Xia Qi look her way, Sima Mingyue immediately withdrew her gaze.

She turned and left.

Xia Qi didn't pay too much attention; the recent battle had also consumed a lot of his energy.

Immediately, Xia Qi went to the military resting facility within the outpost.

This place belonged to military facilities, and originally, with Xia Qi's military Rank, he was not qualified to enter.

However, he now had the dragon country's fire title.

Naturally, he possessed this privilege, only consuming some military merit.

Xia Qi walked in, immediately consuming two hundred points of military merit.

Although Xia Qi could afford this amount, he secretly clicked his tongue.

Perhaps, even a Four-Star Lieutenant might not be able to withstand such consumption.

However, the effect of the military resting facility was also very significant.

Xia Qi's stamina was recovering at an extremely fast rate, and the feeling of fatigue on his body gradually disappeared.

Refreshing!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Qi intended to thoroughly comprehend the recent battle while in the military resting facility.

He had many talents and quite a few skills.

However, as his Rank increased, many of their effects became increasingly smaller.

Quantity alone was no longer enough to enhance his strength.

But with so many skills and talents, how else could they be used?

Xia Qi fell into an Epiphany, his body and mind greatly relaxed.

It was as if a barrier had been directly pierced, revealing a wider world outside.

Fusion!

That's right, it was Fusion!

All of Xia Qi's skills and talents flashed through his mind.

Under the effect of Epiphany, these skills and talents constantly intertwined.

...

Under the effect of Congenital Double Pupils, those talents continuously converged.

Under the effect of the SS-Rank Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability talent, all skills were thoroughly mastered by Xia Qi.

Taking the essence and discarding the dross.

[Elemental Archmage: You can control all the elements you possess and unleash even greater power.]

[Sword Technique Lingxu Sword: Effortless Sword, Infinite Variations.]

Xia Qi exhaled a turbid breath, feeling a sense of relief.

Now with these two, he felt that even the Flame Demon King, he could fight.
