72: Chapter 72 The Fifth Summoning

She constantly adjusted her emotions, actively immersing herself in the tragic atmosphere created by the movies, demanding of herself that she must cry and produce enough "tears of the angel."

In the angel civilization she originally belonged to, there was no such special class as "Angel Maid."

Back then, even if she shed tears from sadness, they would only be ordinary tears, never condensing into crystals with such heaven-defying effects as enhancing talents.

In other words, "tears of the angel" were a unique product of the combination of the "Angel Maid" class and the rules of the era of universal Class Transferee, a "talent" that belonged solely to Elena.

The first movie was of high quality, with emotional buildup progressing layer by layer and a powerful ending.

Elena watched very intently, her emotions rising and falling with the plot, and she sobbed softly a total of four times.

Lin Muyang carefully collected four crystal-clear, water-blue crystals containing gentle energy.

The results were gratifying!

However, the subsequent movies played were of uneven quality; some had obvious tropes, and some were overly melodramatic.

Although Elena still tried hard to empathize, the efficiency of production dropped significantly.

What was more troublesome was that as the viewing time extended, by the second half of the night, Lin Muyang discovered that Elena seemed to have developed a certain "resistance" or "numbness" to these kinds of tragic movies.

Her threshold for crying had clearly become higher, and her emotions were no longer as easily stirred as they were at the beginning.

When the last movie was playing, one could see Elena's eyes were red and she was sniffing, clearly still having internal fluctuations, but the tears seemed blocked, unable to flow out no matter what.

She even looked at Lin Muyang with some anxiety, feeling sorry for her own "uselessness."

"Alright, alright, let's stop watching." Lin Muyang knew when to stop and turned off the TV.

He counted the harvest in his hand, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, "Exactly eleven, that's enough! Thank you for your hard work, Elena."

Being able to just gather the target quantity, he was already very content.

Looking at the time, it was already past 4 AM.

This was the "vacuum period" when many Dungeons and secret realms had refreshed daily but had not yet been visited by a large number of Class Transferees.

"Taking advantage of this time, I'll go visit the neighboring cities and clear out the high-level secret realms that just refreshed there; that should be enough to reach level 40," Lin Muyang planned.

After reaching level 40, he could challenge King-rank Dungeons and secret realms, which would yield higher rewards.

Now that he held a national-level pass, he could completely choose to target only the highest difficulty, maximizing efficiency.

Anyway, whether it was Platinum, Diamond, or the future King-rank, for him, with his multiple Auras and powerful partners, it was a rhythm of "clearing an area with one skill," and the difference in difficulty could almost be ignored.

Next was the exciting moment of talent enhancement.

Lin Muyang distributed the eleven tears of the angel based on the talent foundation of each of the three young ladies.

Lilia used them first.

She clasped her hands together, placing the three tears of the angel in her palms, and a soft light enveloped her.

A moment later, the light receded, and she felt that her perception and affinity for the Light Element had reached a brand-new realm.

【Lilia talent enhancement: Light Element Affinity (SS-rank → SSS-rank). When releasing healing and support skills, the effect boost is increased from 100% to 150%.】

Next was Elena.

As the producer of the tears of the angel, she also became a beneficiary at this moment.

The four tears of the angel flew around her, turning into pure light spots that merged into her body.

The faint, white light wing phantom behind her seemed to solidify a bit, emitting a warmer and more peaceful Aura.

【Elena talent enhancement: Maid's Light (S-rank → SSS-rank). When in a party, the all-attribute bonus provided to all teammates is increased from 30% to 50%! All class skill effects are increased by 50%!】

Finally, there was Elabess.

The three tears of the angel turned into deep shadow streamers in her hands, merging into her purple-black eyes.

The Aura around her became more dark and unfathomable, as if it could swallow all light, but that charm and mystery became even stronger.

【Elabess talent enhancement: Dark Mastery (SS-rank → SSS-rank). All Black Magic effects increased from 50% to 100%. Added special effect: under the "Disguise" state, one can temporarily replicate the highest-grade skill of the disguised target (limited to once per day).】

The changes brought about by the talent enhancement were immediate and huge!

Lilia felt her healing and protective power surging; the team buff effect brought by Elena almost doubled; and Elabess's new ability made Lin Muyang's eyes light up.

"Temporarily replicate the highest-grade skill of the opponent?" Lin Muyang couldn't help but exclaim, "This ability is too outrageous! If she disguises herself as a female powerhouse who possesses a mythic grade skill, wouldn't she be able to briefly possess that level of power?"

mythic grade skills belong to the top-tier category of skills on the current Blue Star, often carrying powerful effects at the level of rules, such as those involving time, space, causality, and other fields.

Even if Elabess's own Origin Skill level continues to improve, being able to temporarily borrow such a level of ability can definitely play a role in turning the tide of battle at critical moments.

Lin Muyang had already begun to imagine that in the future, if there was a chance, he should take Elabess to see the world and come into contact with various female powerhouses.

Even, if in the future, he could find a way to go to the angel civilization or the elf world and let her disguise herself as an "Angel Princess" or "Elf Queen"... that picture was too beautiful to imagine.

However, these were stories for another time.

Currently, they had no clue how to go to these other worlds.

Looking at the description information about the tears of the angel in his hand, Lin Muyang also noticed another detail: "From Demigod Level to God-rank, the required quantity is displayed as '???'. Does this mean there might be a talent level higher than God-rank? Or does it mean that upgrading to God-rank requires meeting other unknown conditions?"

He shook his head; it was too early to think about these things now.

Seeing that Elena was mentally exhausted (tired from crying), Lin Muyang did not delay any further.

He took the young ladies and set off in stealth again, like an invisible ghost troop, sweeping across the darkest sky before dawn.

This time, his target was several slightly smaller cities around Zhongnan City.

The Class Transferee forces in these cities usually did not react as quickly as those in Tianhai City, and their defenses were not as tight.

The facts were just as he expected.

In the early hours of the morning, most Class Transferees were still resting or conducting team activities, and the team Dungeon areas were even more desolate.

Lin Muyang, as if entering an uninhabited place, followed the map's guidance and with amazing efficiency, "cleaned out" one after another newly refreshed Diamond-rank, and even a few newly emerging King-rank team Dungeons that were emitting alluring energy fluctuations.

Occasionally, early-rising teams would pass by the entrance of the Dungeons, only to watch in stunned silence as the Dungeon vortex changed from "Idle" to "Occupied (1 person)" at an unbelievable speed, and then quickly changed to "Cleared."

The whole process was so fast that it made them doubt their lives.

The news spread quietly in the circles of these small cities, triggering a small range of shock and speculation, but no one could capture Lin Muyang's tracks at all.

In just two or three hours, Lin Muyang swept through the high-quality Dungeon resources of four or five cities.

A massive amount of experience poured into him and the four young ladies like a torrent.

When the eastern sky turned pale, Lin Muyang stopped.

His level had soared from 38 to 42!

Even with a 20x experience bonus, being able to level up 4 times in such a short time was enough to make any Class Transferee feel shocked.

This efficiency was worth a year and a half of hard work for an ordinary genius.

the young ladies also leveled up to 42 simultaneously.

At this moment, what they were wearing was a full set of King-rank equipment with top-tier attributes!

Under the powerful blessing of Elena's SSS-rank "Maid's Light," everyone's basic attributes had steadily broken through the 3000-point mark.

Among them, Ao Qingyan's attribute growth was the most rapid.

She not only enjoyed the team bonus, but the gains brought by her own Dragon bloodline and individual cultivation were also extremely considerable, with attributes approaching 4000 points, leaving others behind.

What is the concept of this attribute?

An ordinary 100-level Class Transferee without a talent above S-rank would have about this level of full-body attributes, or perhaps even slightly lower.

This means that in terms of attributes alone, Lin Muyang's team already had the qualifications to challenge 100-level ordinary Dungeons.

If one counted the various Aura bonuses and the powerful Origin Skills of the young ladies, even a 100-level team Dungeon might not be impossible to try.

Of course, facing a 100-level Dungeon BOSS with health in the hundreds of millions, their current damage per second was not enough to solve it quickly, requiring a longer battle of attrition.

"It is the level that limits the final multiplier of damage," Lin Muyang understood this very clearly.

To continue to become stronger quickly, challenging higher difficulty, more rewarding Dungeons was the only way.

And the 45-level epic-grade team Dungeon he was about to face was the best springboard at the moment.

After it got bright, Lin Muyang stopped the leveling action and returned to Zhongnan City with his team.

He had another important thing to do—take the two origin skill books promised by the Sword Saint.

He came directly to Tianqi Tower, outside Shen Yanshan's office.

Without knocking on the door or alerting anyone, Lin Muyang directly activated the 【Void Body】 Aura.

In this state, he was immune to physical damage and could ignore all physical obstacles.

He passed through the heavy office door like a ghost.

In the room, Shen Yanshan was facing away from the door, seemingly reviewing documents.

And on his desk, there were two skill books made of special materials, emitting a faint origin fluctuation.

Lin Muyang smiled slightly, walked to the table silently, and reached out to take the two skill books.

At the same time, he placed a note he had prepared in advance in the original position.

It wasn't until several seconds after Lin Muyang left that Shen Yanshan turned his head, seemingly sensing something.

When he saw the empty table, he was stunned for a moment.

He stood up abruptly and looked around—the doors and windows were closed tightly, with no signs of any intrusion.

"Where are the books?! I clearly just put them here!"

This 100-level powerhouse was shocked and suspicious, until he saw the note on the table: "Books have been taken, thank you."

Shen Yanshan held the note, speechless for a long time, and finally could only shake his head with a bitter smile: "This person is truly elusive."

Returning to the Ziyun Mountain Villa, Lin Muyang handed the two skill books to the corresponding young ladies.

One was 【Impenetrable Fortress】 (Origin), a powerful defensive Aura skill, given to Lilia to learn.

The other was 【Shadow Erosion】 (Origin), a powerful single-target continuous damage skill, given to Elabess to master.

It is worth mentioning that for passive Aura skills like "Impenetrable Fortress," to upgrade its Origin level, teammates need to kill monsters under the influence of the Aura to gain experience.

This means Lilia needs to participate in more actual combat.

After finishing these, Lin Muyang felt that the preparations were basically ready.

He stood in the center of the villa's spacious living room, a sense of anticipation surging in his heart.

"It is time to perform the fifth summoning."

As he focused his mind, the summoning command was officially issued.

In an instant, the air in the center of the living room fluctuated violently, and countless scorching, golden flames emerged from thin air!

These flames were not chaotic, but quickly formed a complex and exquisite huge flame magic circle, covering almost half of the living room.

Scorching heat waves surged in all directions, and the temperature in the room climbed sharply, as if instantly arriving from a comfortable villa to a lava zone.

"The commotion is so big this time?" Lin Muyang was a little surprised.

Compared to the previous four summonings, this time the formation was clearly much grander and more violent.

Lilia, Elabess, Ao Qingyan, and Elena also gathered around curiously, staring intently at the center of the flame magic circle.

They also wanted to know, what kind of new companion would appear this time?

From what kind of world?

The flames burned and rotated violently, and the light in the center of the magic circle became more and more dazzling.

Gradually, a blurry outline appeared in the flames.

However, when the light receded slightly and everyone saw the true face of that outline, they were all stunned.

What appeared in the center of the flame magic circle was not the figure of a young lady as expected, but an oval object about half a person's height.

Its entire body presented a warm golden yellow, and its surface was covered with fine and mysterious natural patterns, as if it were condensed from the purest flame energy.

At this moment, it was quietly floating in mid-air, still surrounded by golden flames that had not completely extinguished.

This was actually an—egg?!

Lin Muyang widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief: "This... what is this? What happened to the promised fifth young lady? How did an egg get summoned?!"
