144: Five forbidden spells to protect you

The first-floor hall of the Supply Point was packed with people.

Some Practitioners exchanged their demon crystals for money, while others drank beer and shared information over peanuts on the tables.

Naturally, the most discussed topic was the Great Shun Dynasty!

"Recently, rumors have been flying around Huaxia, discussing whether the increased probability of awakening a Class is related to Mu Tianyi."

Li Jinxue said.

Mu Tianyi, Emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty.

Looking through history, the Great Shun Dynasty was one of the few ancient dynasties capable of resisting the Demon and Monster Races.

"I think there's some credibility to it," Xu Ruicheng offered his opinion.

"According to statistical data, the probability of awakening a Class has indeed increased over the past three hundred years, especially for Combat Classes."

Xu Ruicheng recalled the data he had checked.

Huaxia was now close to achieving universal awakening, which was different from ancient times.

It was considered good if five out of a hundred people awakened a Class, and only two of those five could awaken a Combat Class.

"Do you really think Mu Tianyi is a good emperor?" Lu Yuan looked at Xu Ruicheng.

"Isn't he? Because after the Emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty fell into slumber, the awakening probability did increase."

Xu Ruicheng scratched his head, judging based on that event.

"Then let me ask you, who caused the deaths of over twenty million common people killed by the Demons and Monsters, and who caused the land in the No Mans Land to be lost?" Lu Yuan's gaze was sharp, putting immense pressure on Xu Ruicheng.

"The Great Shun Dynasty!"

Xu Ruicheng suddenly realized.

If those imperial relatives and elite troops hadn't collectively fallen into slumber, twenty million common people wouldn't have died, and the No Mans Land wouldn't have been created.

"But precisely because of this, Huaxia has the strength to fight the Demon and Monster Races. The deaths of those common people were worth it, and the Emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty certainly made a contribution," another team member retorted.

Lu Yuan shook his head.

Three hundred years—it wasn't long, but it wasn't short either.

Since their ancestors weren't the ones who died, they could say such things without batting an eye.

Twenty million people were slaughtered out of ninety million; their corpses alone could stack up into a mountain whose peak couldn't be seen!

Moreover, whether this matter was true or false was unknown; it seemed more like a rumor deliberately spread to sow discord.

The argument continued, but Lu Yuan couldn't be bothered to argue. After eating his fill, he returned to his resting room.

Under the lamplight, Lu Yuan lay on the bed after finishing his wash.

"Open the System Shop."

A sapphire blue screen appeared, and Lu Yuan first looked at his System Points.

He had killed so many Transcendent Realm Demon Kings, Demons, and Practitioners, plus his previous accumulation.

Unknowingly, he had reached 200,000!

"Which Attribute Forbidden Curse should I exchange for?" Lu Yuan fell into thought.

Other Practitioners would thank the heavens if they could awaken two attributes, but through the ten great calamities, he was equivalent to a Ten-Attribute Practitioner!

A Ten-Attribute Practitioner was unprecedented and likely unmatched in the future!

Soon, Lu Yuan made his decision, and a prompt sounded in his ear.

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Thunder Attribute Forbidden Curse: Thunder of World Annihilation]

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Wind Attribute Forbidden Curse: Raging Fury of the Wind God]

He had obtained two more Forbidden Curses!

Adding the previously exchanged Forbidden Spell: Wrath from the Heavens, and the Forbidden Curse: Exploding Flame Burns the Heavens taught by his Teacher.

He now had four great Forbidden Curses at his disposal!

And among the ten great calamities, Nine Vipers also possessed a Forbidden Curse, meaning he could cast five Forbidden Curses simultaneously!

The power of casting five Forbidden Curses together was terrifying just to think about.

"Brother Yuan."

Just as he was about to sleep, Lu Yuan suddenly heard Han Junchen's voice.

"Speak."

"Brother Yuan, Teacher now suspects I like men, boohoo, what should I do?"

Lu Yuan: "..."

Ignoring Han Junchen, Lu Yuan fell asleep.

Night deepened.

Outside the Supply Point, the roars of Fierce Beasts occasionally echoed, but the Practitioners inside slept soundly.

The morning sun rose, and the members of Li Jinxue's Team had been waiting for a long time.

They had agreed with Lu Yuan to return to Pengcheng University together.

"Flying is awesome!" Xu Ruicheng exclaimed excitedly, standing on Feng Shi's back.

Only Transcendent Realm Practitioners, or Wind Attribute Practitioners, could fly through the air.

Compared to land-based Fierce Beasts, Flying Fierce Beasts were relatively rare.

However, Flying Fierce Beasts were more dangerous, with the lowest realm being Xuan Gang Realm!

"We should reach Starry Sky City in two hours at most," Lu Yuan said.

This was Feng Shi's normal flying speed; if it sped up, it would take an hour and a half.

In a blink, they were ten kilometers away from Starry Sky City.

Looking at the dark mass in the distance, Lu Yuan thought, "It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?"

"Beast Tide!!!"

A piercing siren sounded, and all the Officers and Soldiers of Starry Sky City became tense.

Bang—

The only City Gate leading to the No Mans Land closed, and the Defensive Array activated!

Gong Yingbo, the Highest-Ranking General of Starry Sky City.

Standing atop the City Wall, Gong Yingbo looked solemnly at the Beast Tide led by the Demon King.

"Are they bored out of their minds? Do they really think they can breach the Starry Sky City I guard?"

Gong Yingbo spat, and methodically issued orders.

"Max out the Defensive Array! Combat Regiment, use ranged Spirit Skills to blast them! Support Regiment, stand by! I will open the City Gate for a counterattack in half an hour; you'll all be busy then!"

The Defensive Array covering Starry Sky City changed from light blue to deep blue.

Bang, bang, bang—

A dense, endless swarm of Flying Fierce Beasts launched the first attack.

However, their attacks hitting the Defensive Array were like stones sinking into the sea, unable to cause even a ripple.

Fireballs, wind blades, Lightning Slashes... soldiers on the City Wall frequently used Spirit Skills, trying their best to stop the Beast Tide from consuming the Defensive Array's durability.

"What's been going on lately? Other Border Cities are fine, barely encountering a Beast Tide once a year." The Adjutant stood beside Gong Yingbo, frowning deeply.

"We've been stationed in Starry Sky City and have been attacked by Beast Tides four times in one month. Each time is fiercer than the last, and this time it's even led by a Domain Realm Demon King!"

The cries of the Fierce Beasts rose and fell.

Hearing the Adjutant's words, Gong Yingbo shook his head.

"As long as the Defensive Array is here, even if a Demon Emperor comes, it won't matter!" Gong Yingbo was full of confidence.

Because of the existence of the Defensive Array, Huaxia was able to steadily reclaim lost territory step by step.

Therefore, upon discovering the Beast Tide, Gong Yingbo felt no inner turmoil; he was already used to it.

He was just contemplating the Adjutant's confusion.

Why was only Starry Sky City frequently encountering Beast Tide attacks while other Border Cities were calm?

"Damn, a Beast Tide!"

Without Lu Yuan's order, Feng Shi dared not fly over on its own, stopping in place and flapping its wings.

Compared to Lu Yuan's calmness, Xu Ruicheng and the others were scared pale.

They hadn't experienced many Beast Tides; the Beast Tide attacking Starry Sky City was countless.

There were many Law Realm and Transcendent Realm Demon Kings.

There was even a Domain Realm Shadow Moon Demon Wolf!

"Let's go to another Border City." Lu Yuan wasn't interested in the Beast Tide; instead, he was curious about the Principal killing Li Jinxue's Grandfather.

Even though the Beast Tide was so fierce, the Officers and Soldiers of Starry Sky City easily held it with the Defensive Array.

It wouldn't take long for Reinforcements from the Seven Alliances and One Hall to arrive, and then the Beast Tide would disintegrate.

Bang, bang, bang—

Just as Feng Shi turned around, a huge explosion erupted inside Starry Sky City!

"Hmm?"

"The Great Shun Dynasty!" Gong Yingbo roared hoarsely.

He saw one bottomless pit after another exploding inside the city, and countless Armored Soldiers crawled out.

The armor was engraved with the two characters 'Da Shun'.

This proved that these soldiers were the Elite Forces of the Great Shun Dynasty who had fallen into slumber and just awakened!

"It's over!" Gong Yingbo widened his eyes.

The Defensive Array could only withstand external attacks; the interior was very easy to destroy.

If these Great Shun Dynasty Elite Forces and the Beast Tide attacked from both sides, Gong Yingbo didn't dare to continue thinking.

Looking at the Beast Tide outside the city, and then at the Great Shun Dynasty soldiers continuously awakening inside the city.

Only one thought remained in Gong Yingbo's mind.

Starry Sky City was about to fall!
