Exclusive store, powerful rewards! (5000)

At this moment, everyone stared at the names on the leaderboard, their eyes widening in shock!

One had to know, those who could enter the top ten were the top existences in a major region!

Coupled with the fact that the difficulty of this battle was relatively low,

So, on the first day, those powerhouses had already harvested quite a few points.

Even to enter the top ten, one needed a minimum of 40,000 points.

However, when they saw this number one spot,

A look of confusion appeared in the eyes of the millions of Survivors across the four major factions.

"What… is going on? Having over 300,000 points is already scary enough, but why is his faction different from ours?"

"It's actually the Crystal Dragon faction, what the hell!"

"Can someone tell me what exactly happened? Did the system open a separate faction just for him?"

No one could answer this question, because they didn't know what was going on either.

Compared to Cao Xing's 300,000+ points, the [Crystal Dragon faction] label behind it was even more shocking!

Even those currently in the top ten of the leaderboard stood rooted to the spot in a daze.

In the main city of the Goddess of Nature, a woman with red hair holding a golden greatsword stared straight ahead.

A golden flame continuously rose from her body, making it impossible for anyone to get close!

She was Angelina, currently ranked second on the leaderboard!

As the leader of the largest legion in Region 30, Angelina led her troops with unstoppable force.

She even relied on the strength of her single legion to directly push over a Crystal stronghold.

Although she dared not say she could enter the top ten with 100% certainty,

She believed that no one's points would be much higher than hers.

Because she had already investigated, and throughout the entire Crystal land, there were not many legions stronger than hers.

Yet, the leaderboard before her delivered a heavy blow.

"How is this possible? Someone actually has so many more points than me… and what is going on with this faction?"

The same scene was playing out in every major city.

Those major region powerhouses, who were originally full of confidence, looked at the name in first place on the leaderboard as if they had seen a ghost.

Meanwhile, the chat channels of the four major factions were ignited once again in the dead of night.

"Too overpowered! Not only did this brother join the Dragon faction, but he also swept up over 300,000 points in just one day. He's simply not human!"

"Yeah, which region's Great Lord is this? He really didn't make a sound until he let out a roar that stunned everyone!"

"Wait a minute, I think I remember! Earlier on the world forum, someone posted about a million points, the name seemed to be Cao Xing!"

"I remember too, so it's this Great Lord."

"It's not strange that this person could reach first place, but who the hell can tell me why his faction is Crystal Dragon?"

At this moment, the Survivors of the Goddess of Wind faction suddenly remembered something!

"Holy crap! I think I get it now. The one controlling the Branded Monsters to deal with us next to those dragon crystals today was Great Lord Cao Xing!"

"I remember too, Great Lord Cao Xing's mount seems to be a Mammoth. There was a Crystal Mammoth among that group of monsters today, it's most likely him!"

"What?!"

Millions of Survivors fell into a daze simultaneously.

In the four major main cities, those legion leaders, after reaching this conclusion, were shocked beyond measure.

"How is this possible? The humanoid monster that was controlling the Branded Monsters and sweeping through the Survivor army today was him?"

Meanwhile.

A post hit the trending search list in the dead of night!

[Shocking! Mysterious Great Lord Cao Xing descends into the Crystal Dragon faction, powerfully taking the number one spot on the points leaderboard, trampling the Survivors of the four major factions underfoot!]

The title of this post was extremely eye-catching, instantly attracting a large number of clicks.

The post contained the current leaderboard of the five major factions and analyzed everyone's views on the current situation.

And the Survivors watching the live stream outside also suddenly understood something.

It turned out that the terrifying group of figures they saw during the live stream today was the force belonging to this Great Lord Cao Xing.

Today on the battlefield, the presence of these warriors was simply too dazzling!

It was absolutely devastating!

So many Survivors knew about this mysterious troop.

Now, hearing that this mysterious team was actually the force of a single Survivor, they were shocked beyond words!

At the same time, this news spread like wildfire.

Countless people entered the world forum in the middle of the night to check this post.

A large number of comments appeared below.

Feng Lingdong: "Truly terrifying! Besides his powerful strength, this Great Lord Cao Xing also has astonishing courage!"

Tang Qiaofeng: "Yeah, after all, he is the only one in his entire faction, which means he has to face tens of millions of Survivor lords single-handedly. Just this spirit alone is something ordinary people cannot achieve."

Xing Kun: "This Cao Xing deserves to be at the top of the points leaderboard!"

…

Although some powerhouses from other regions were still unconvinced in their hearts,

They had to admit that if it were them, even if such an opportunity were placed in front of them,

They might not have the courage to choose to be enemies with millions of Survivors and face the attacks of billions of powerhouses.

That night, the billions of remaining Survivors around the world remembered one name!

Cao Xing!

He had joined the Crystal Dragon faction alone, intending to challenge tens of millions of the world's top Survivor lords!

Including those Survivors who had special encounters or had joined indigenous forces, all knew this name.

…

…

At this moment, Cao Xing was still happily gnawing on honey-glazed bear meat when he suddenly heard a system prompt.

[Based on cumulative battle merit calculations, your current ranking is: 1]

…

Cao Xing was slightly stunned, "Huh? I've already joined the Dragon faction, can I still participate in the leaderboard?"

But he reacted quickly, followed by happiness.

A leaderboard is good!

Having a ranking means there are rewards!

Apart from points, it seems that when this Battle of the Oracle ends, he can still fish for some benefits.

At the same time, Cao Xing saw his private messages reach 999999+.

He was completely famous tonight; he didn't know how many people were privately messaging him.

Some people were asking how he joined the Dragon faction, some were asking if he was some kind of insider.

There were even some who wanted to come and join him.

Regarding these messages, Cao Xing happily read a few,

Then cleared them all at once.

Apart from these strange private messages, Cao Xing also received messages from his friends.

Ji Xinyue: "Great Lord Cao Xing! You are too amazing, you actually joined the Dragon faction. You are completely famous now, the entire world channel is discussing your name!"

Yao Yiming: "Great Lord Cao Xing, I am on the Goddess of Order faction side. I will notify you of any news as soon as possible."

Bai Zhi: "?"

…

Seeing these messages, a faint smile hung on the corners of Cao Xing's mouth.

He also replied slightly.

If he had just taken first place, it wouldn't have been so sensational. The main point was that he was not only first, but also a one-man faction.

It was hard for people not to pay attention.

And Liu Muxue next to him also walked over.

A trace of worry appeared in her eyes, and she said softly: "Ah Xing, our identities seem to be exposed, will there be any impact?"

She was worried that after other Survivors discovered Cao Xing's identity, they would target them the next day.

Also, the matter with the Church of Light…

The Seed of Light might suspect Cao Xing because of this, and then investigate them.

But Cao Xing shook his head with a smile and said: "Rest assured, we have the ability of group teleportation."

"Even if they want to target us, they have to be able to stop us."

"As for the other Church of Light…"

Cao Xing didn't need to worry about that at all.

Not to mention whether they would guess that it was he who stole their Bright Holy Scripture.

Even if they knew, during this one-month protection period, the Seed of Light couldn't do anything to him.

And after a month, he would still have the Dragon Speaker and the Lizardman Ancestor Statue.

With these two sets of combinations, the Church of Light was already nothing to worry about.

Hearing him say this, Liu Muxue felt much more at ease.

"Don't worry, Muxue, go back to rest. We have to continue fighting tomorrow."

"Mm-hmm."

This woman responded softly, then found an empty space and sat down.

Speaking of which, it was also strange.

The energy contained in the boiling Crystal land could originally cause Legendary creatures to fall.

However, now, not only did it not cause any impact on them, but when they approached, all the movement would subside.

Even the 'crackle' sound in his ears had subsided significantly.

This allowed everyone to get a good sleep and replenish their energy.

Just as Cao Xing was preparing to rest for a while, a system notification appeared.

[Survivor Cao Xing, please note: You have survived the first day of the Battle of the Oracle and defended the main crystal against the attacks of the four major factions.]

[The exclusive Crystal Dragon exchange shop has been opened!]

[Now, you can exchange points for corresponding rewards in the exchange shop.]

…

Seeing this notification, Cao Xing, who had been feeling a bit sleepy, was instantly invigorated!

"Haha! My exclusive exchange shop has finally arrived!"

With an excited mood, Cao Xing clicked directly on the shop to take a look.

[Crystal Dragon Shop Exchange List]

[Equipment], [Weapons], [Items],

Just like the point shops of the four major factions, there were three major categories in the exchange list.

Cao Xing first scanned the weapons category.

[Amethyst Dragon Soul Sword (Gold)]: 50,000 points (Limited to 5)

[Thundercloud Earth-Splitting Axe (Gold)]: 70,000 points (Limited to 5)

[Amethyst Dragon Cloud Staff (Gold)]: 100,000 points (Limited to 3)

[Lightning Rending Longbow (Gold)]: 100,000 points (Limited to 3)

[Purple Thunder Divine Sound Spear…]

…

"Not bad, they're all some golden-tier weapons."

For Cao Xing, he didn't really have the desire to exchange for these weapons.

Then he checked the equipment category.

[Dragon Crystal Warrior Armor, Leggings, Helmet, Boots, Bracers (Blue)]: 1,000 points per piece, 4,000 points for the full set (Purchase limit: 1,000 sets)

[Amethyst Warrior Armor, Leggings, Helmet, Boots, Bracers (Purple)]: 5,000 points per piece, 20,000 points for the full set (Purchase limit: 100 sets)

[Mysterious Crystal Armor, Leggings, Helmet, Boots, Bracers (Gold)]: 20,000 points per piece, 80,000 points for the full set (Purchase limit: 30 sets)

…

In the equipment category, the items available for exchange were similar to those of the four major factions.

The difference was that they needed 8,000 points to exchange for a blue set, while Cao Xing only needed 4,000—it was half the price!

Including the other two grades of sets, they were all much cheaper than theirs.

"A full purple set only costs 20,000 points, and collecting the five-piece set provides a set effect."

"Calculating it this way, the sets in my shop are not only cheaper than those sold by the four major factions, but their stats are also better."

"If I can exchange for a few dozen sets and equip them on the Dragon Blood Warriors, it could significantly boost their combat power."

Of course, equipping all the Ascalon Warriors with sets was out of the question.

Even for the cheapest blue sets, 1,000 sets would cost over 4 million points, which even Cao Xing couldn't afford.

Then, Cao Xing clicked on the third category, [Items].

The items available for exchange immediately made Cao Xing's eyes light up again!

[Advanced Heart of Strength]: 10,000 points (Unlimited)

[Expert-level Heart of Strength]: 30,000 points (Limited to 1,000)

[Master-level Heart of Power]: 100,000 points (Limited to 50)

[Expert-level Proficiency Emblem]: 100,000 points (Limited to 10)

[dragon heart]: 2,000,000 points (Limited to 5)

[Crystal Dragon · Krakatoa's Blood]: 10,000,000 points (Limited to 1)

[Crystal Dragon · Krakatoa's Scale]: 10,000,000 battle merits (Limited to 1)

[…]

…

"Holy crap! Holy crap!"

Cao Xing exclaimed out loud.

In this item category, the things that could be exchanged far exceeded his imagination!

Not only could he exchange for an unlimited amount of [Advanced Heart of Strength], but even the [Expert-level Heart of Strength] could be exchanged in such large quantities.

And more importantly, Cao Xing also saw [Master-level Heart of Power] here.

Although the quantity available for exchange was relatively small, it was more than enough to advance all the core combat personnel under his command to the Master level!

If he followed his point acquisition speed from today, the amount would only increase day by day in the future.

In other words, by the time the Battle of the Oracle ended, Cao Xing would suddenly possess a large number of Master-level subordinates!

His territory's strength would skyrocket!

Thinking of this, he immediately felt excited.

However, the items available for exchange in this shop didn't stop there.

Besides these Hearts of Strength, there were some even more terrifying items.

Such as the dragon heart, Krakatoa's Blood, and scales!

Especially the latter two items—they were even more terrifying.

After all, this was a creature of the same level as the Frost Dragon Zhuoma.

One didn't even need to think to know that its scales definitely possessed power not inferior to Zhuoma's scales!

And as for the other item, Krakatoa's Blood, that was the blood of a true god-level dragon!

It was unimaginable what kind of terrifying power it possessed!

Cao Xing was full of admiration!

"Sure enough, danger comes with opportunity!"

"Although I took the risk of becoming enemies with tens of millions of Survivors by joining the Crystal Dragon faction."

"But at the same time, I also gained my own unique opportunity."

Cao Xing had already seen the discussions in the chat channel.

While the battle merit shops of other Survivors could exchange for various series of equipment, they were basically the same as the exchange shop of the Zhuoma dragon.

At most, they could only exchange for the Advanced Heart of Strength.

Besides that, they just had some additional ordinary sets, and blue and purple sets.

Nothing like Cao Xing's side!

Even the scales of a true god-level dragon could be exchanged.

Of course, to exchange for these precious items, the points required were also astronomical.

Based on Cao Xing's point acquisition progress today, he would probably only be able to gather enough points by the day the Battle of the Oracle ended.

"However, in today's battle, I also harvested 300,000 points."

"These points can be exchanged for three Master-level Hearts of Power."

In other words, he would likely have two to three Master-level powerhouses very soon.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face again.

The impact of a Master-level powerhouse on the battlefield was significant.

Especially a Master-level powerhouse like Cao Xing, who was buffed with various states!

Thinking of this.

Cao Xing opened the battle merit shop.

[Do you wish to consume 300,000 battle merits to exchange for 3 Master-level Hearts of Power?]

"Yes."

[Exchange successful, battle merits -300,000…]

…

At the same time, looking at the three massive crystals in his backpack, a look of satisfaction appeared in Cao Xing's heart again!

"Then, I'll use this first one for myself to let me break through to Master level!"

He took it directly from his backpack.

"Ding! Crack!"

As the crystal shattered, pure power flowed into his body.

The aura on Cao Xing's body was also constantly rising.

Intense magic power overflowed, accompanied by a strong chill that even dyed the surrounding crystal ground frost-white.

"Hoo—"

A breeze blew, and the bone-chilling cold, like a cold blade, instantly spread in all directions.

Some of the resting warriors suddenly woke up, then looked at Cao Xing in shock!

"So it was the Lord! I thought we had already returned to the territory!"

"Yeah, it suddenly got so cold, the Wild Boar Warriors were frozen stiff."

Come to think of it, besides the extremely harsh environment, the temperature in this plane was actually quite decent.

It was around ten-something degrees.

But now, Cao Xing's breakthrough had brought the surrounding temperature down below freezing.

Others were also watching Cao Xing, hoping he could successfully break through.

A moment later, Cao Xing suddenly opened his eyes!

A wave of intense magic aura instantly swept out.

[You have successfully used the Master-level Heart of Power and become a Tier 6 Master-level powerhouse. Base stats increased by 100%, HP increased by an additional 100%, and resistance to abnormal status effects increased by 50%]

…

At the same time, feeling the surging magic power in his body, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"Not bad, not bad, succeeded on the first try."

"Now, I have officially become a Tier 6 Archmage!"

Cao Xing glanced at his backpack.

"Then, I'll give the remaining two Hearts of Power to Assam and Hilda."

The reason he let these two break through first was naturally because after they transformed into Masters, they could bring him powerful assistance.

Don't let the fact that Assam is currently only a Leader-level creature fool you; his threat on the battlefield is not inferior to those Commander-level creatures, and is perhaps even stronger!
