The terrifying bonus of the legendary assistant, Xiao’s talent.

This is the convenience of being a Survivor; even for a Legendary-level skill, all it takes is a clap of the hands to master it.

However, because the memories contained in this Legendary-level skill book were truly immense.

Even for Survivors like them, it required some time to digest.

A few minutes later, as the vast memories were absorbed by Liu Muxue.

She slowly opened her eyes, and beautiful Auroras appeared within her pupils.

Then, she said softly, "Cao Xing, I have already learned this skill."

"Not bad."

Cao Xing nodded in appreciation.

"Wait until I recall everyone from outside, and then you can apply the blessings to everyone again."

"Alright."

Then, Cao Xing checked Liu Muxue's attributes after her breakthrough.

[Survivor: Liu Muxue]

[Race: Blue Star Human]

[Class: Aurora Saint Envoy]

[Level: 100 (Legendary)]

[Divine Power: 0/100 (Recovers 1 point naturally every day)]

[Detailed Attributes: Click to view]

"Hiss" At this moment, Cao Xing gasped sharply once again!

It was simply because Liu Muxue's attributes after the breakthrough were too monstrous!

With the support of over 70,000 Spirit attributes, Aurora Blessing could add over 100,000 damage to all of their attacks.

And the Blessing of Courage could increase base attack power by a full 310,000!

What kind of concept was this?

You have to know, Cao Xing's current base attack power had only just reached 60,000!

This was equivalent to one blessing increasing his attack power by five times!

Even for Legendary-level beings like Sarah and Isabelle, it could increase their attack power by 30%!

"Good, good, good!"

"Plus the 50% attribute bonus from Aurora Radiance, just Liu Muxue alone could increase the combat power of those Legendary-level powerhouses by over 70%!"

"And for other heroes and masters, it could increase their combat power by several times!"

Thinking of this, he looked forward to tonight's improvements even more!

Meanwhile, Cao Xing checked the time.

After an afternoon of improvements and digesting rewards, it was now past 5:00 PM, and the sky had completely darkened.

Although Cao Xing had remained in the territory, his War Merits were still skyrocketing at a terrifying speed.

With five Legendary powerhouses and thousands of soldiers clearing out the legions outside, the efficiency was quite astonishing.

Cao Xing had already seen that the last two Blood Teleportation Pillars in the border region of the Ice Crystal Kingdom had been completely eradicated!

The number of remaining Blood Teleportation Pillars had dropped to 43.

"It's about time; I can call everyone back and apply the blessings to them!"

"And then let them continue to go out and fight tomorrow."

Thus, Cao Xing pressed the [Long-distance Communication Device] and switched to the team channel.

"All warriors, after the battle ends, do not camp in the wild tonight."

"Led by the captains of each legion, return to the territory in an orderly fashion."

Following Cao Xing's order, the squad captains responded one after another in the team channel.

Next, it was just a matter of waiting silently.

In a flash, it was past 6:00 PM.

Several powerful figures turned into streaks of light and flew back quickly.

It was exactly Sarah, Dragon Speaker, Zevelin, and a group of other Legendary-level powerhouses.

As Legendary-level beings, their movement speed was extremely fast, and they were the first to return to the territory.

Sarah respectfully approached Cao Xing, "Lord, we have successfully completed the mission you entrusted to us; nine-tenths of the Blood Legion on those five maps have been killed."

"We left one-tenth for other Survivors to deal with."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then glanced at the attributes of these five Legendary powerhouses.

After an afternoon of fighting, they had slaughtered a large number of Blood soldiers, and their levels had all improved significantly.

First, the one with the highest level was King Velen.

This guy had risen directly from level 125 to level 128.

Rising 3 levels in a single day could be considered quite good.

After all, at his level, the experience points required started in the billions.

Next was Isabelle, whose level had also reached 116.

Two and a half days of fighting, and she had risen 16 levels; this speed could even be described as exaggerated.

After all, for powerhouses like the old King and Yōulán Queen, it was very difficult to make progress after breaking through to Legendary.

Although they could slowly improve their own power without fighting.

But it took too long.

Unless they had the help of some rare treasures, any Legendary from early-stage to mid-stage, or even high-stage, required a massive amount of time.

It was often calculated in years.

For someone like Cao Xing, as long as there were enough monsters to kill, the only thing limiting them was the bottleneck between levels.

After that was Dragon Speaker, whose level had currently risen to 109.

Following that were Sarah and Braum, one at level 103 and the other at level 102.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, everyone has improved significantly today."

"Currently, all the Blood Teleportation Pillars within the Ice Crystal Kingdom have been completely cleared by me."

"Although there are still many remaining Blood Army members, killing them only yields War Merits and experience points, so that can be left to the other warriors to deal with."

"As for Legendary-level powerhouses like Isabelle, they can be dispatched to other countries to clear out those Blood Teleportation Pillars."

"Strive to clear out all the Teleportation Pillars of the Blood Legion in one go!"

Cao Xing had already thought out his next plan in his mind.

Then he looked at the five powerhouses in front of him and said, "Alright, the five of you have worked hard in battle today; go back and rest for now, and I will call you in a while."

"Yes, Lord."

The five of them scattered one after another.

In a flash, more than three hours passed.

Night fell, shrouding the entire world in darkness.

The Blood Moon hung high overhead.

However, compared to the previous few days, the color of the Blood Moon had become much dimmer.

By around 10:00 PM, the remaining two thousand-plus soldiers returned one after another.

Troops marched in orderly steps across the city gates and entered the territory.

After two consecutive days of campaigning, they had slaughtered countless powerful enemies, leaving each of them with an aura of stern killing intent!

After arriving at Cao Xing's side, everyone would respectfully salute and then stand aside to wait silently.

Star Country Swordsman: Xiao was the last to return. He led a group of other Star Country Swordsmen to Cao Xing and said respectfully, "Report, Lord, we have all returned to the territory!"

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "You've worked hard, Xiao."

"And the other warriors, you have all worked hard too!"

Hearing this, everyone responded loudly.

"Fighting for this territory is our mission!"

"Kill all powerful enemies! Swear to defend the Lord's honor to the death!"

Bursts of powerful killing intent rose from them; because of the large numbers, this aura was almost solidifying!

Those staff members, looking at this group of upright and imposing warriors, revealed expressions of respect and longing in their eyes.

They also yearned for the day in the future when they could become such beings and contribute to the territory.

At this time, Xiao continued, "Lord, there is one thing I still need to report to you."

"Go ahead."

Cao Xing responded.

"A while ago, you gave me a precious Sword Saint Manual; I have been constantly studying the swordsmanship in it every day and have gained many insights."

"Combined with the battles during this period, I have gained a lot."

"Currently, my swordsmanship has successfully improved to the Hero level, and I have learned the Hero-level battle skill, Blade of Limit."

Hearing this, Cao Xing also remembered.

He had also swindled a Sword Saint Manual from that Sword Saint inheritance, which even contained a Legendary battle skill inside.

However, because Xiao's realm was not high enough, he was still unable to touch the Legendary battle skill.

But being able to comprehend a Hero-level battle skill with Master-level strength could be said to be exceptionally talented!

He glanced at Xiao's skill panel.

[Hero Battle Skill: Blade of Limit (Releases a Sword Domain, shrouding all enemies within 2000 meters, and causing them to reduce their movement speed by 20% every second.

When the enemies' movement speed all drops to 0, it releases all sword energy, dealing (Agility * 0.1) 4657 random slashing damage to all enemies within the domain.

Cooldown: 6 hours)]

A look of appreciation appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Deserving of being a Hero-level battle skill, the attributes and explosive power of this skill were even comparable to the legion skill—Star Country Sword Formation.

But the Star Country Sword Formation required at least one hundred Star Country Swordsmen to form.

And this Hero-level battle skill could be released by Xiao alone, and the explosive power was even stronger.

Xiao was indeed a genius in the way of swordsmanship, which also made Cao Xing consider focusing on cultivating him.

However—the sword is the king of all weapons, and too many people use it.

In Cao Xing's territory, Assam, Liu Muxue, and the Dragon Speaker are all powerful sword users.

That includes the group of wandering swordsmen as well.

Cao Xing truly didn't have enough resources to spare for Xiao.

However, this situation is only temporary.

Once the Blood Chaos is completely quelled, Cao Xing will lead them to those ancient ruins.

It is said that there are many opportunities for advancement in that place.

Cao Xing patted Xiao on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Very good, you truly didn't disappoint me."

"Keep up the effort, and I will find a way to help you obtain even greater power."

Hearing this, Xiao immediately straightened his expression, and a look of longing appeared in his eyes!

"Yes, Lord!"

"Xiao will certainly not fail your expectations!"

Then, he led the Star Country Swordsmen and silently retreated to the side to wait.

By now, all the combat personnel in the entire territory, including the workers mining at the various mine sites, had returned.

Cao Xing scanned the surroundings and pressed the communication device on his ear.

"Everyone, including all workers and the Ancient Tree Clan, gather at the buffer zone!"

Hearing the order, the entire territory, totaling several thousand people, all sprang into action.

"Swish, swish—"

The combat personnel walked out one after another, each carrying an aura that made people tremble.

Black Smoke Shaman Blot, Wild Boar Warrior Rabb, and Blood Spider Queen Hilda and others walked over.

Especially Hilda; as a Level 100 Blood Spider Queen, she currently possessed twelve Commander-level Blood Spiders, thousands of Elite Blood Spiders, and tens of thousands of Self-destructing Blood Spiders.

Wherever she went, it was like a queen being surrounded; a large swarm of Blood Spiders followed at her side, creating an astonishing aura.

However, ever since that time, the gaze Hilda directed at Cao Xing contained a certain deeply suppressed longing.

It was a look that made it seem like she wanted to melt him into her own body.

Cao Xing met her gaze for a moment, then quickly shifted his focus to the powerful individuals nearby.

Assam, Renice, Andrew, and others, all of whom were also Level 100, possessed auras that were not weak at all.

Furthermore, there were several Legendary powerhouses nearby.

Next were the group of workers.

The Ancient Tree Clan pulled their roots from the soil, transforming them into two thick, sturdy feet, and moved quickly toward this side.

Hundreds of Arctic People held their tools in their hands and respectfully stood in a line.

Besides them, there were the Tree Spirit Clan, Elf Clan, Crystal Clan, and so on.

They also arranged themselves into lines according to their respective races.

Afterwards, over a hundred blacksmiths also walked out from the blacksmith shop.

At this point, all mobile creatures in the entire territory, except for the yaks and Light Feather Chickens, were gathered together.

In the crowd, the newly joined Qinong and King Velen couldn't help but look around.

Looking at the workers and combat personnel around them, a look of shock couldn't help but appear in their eyes.

This was their first time seeing the full combat strength of Cao Xing's territory.

This power seemed somewhat beyond imagination.

King Velen whispered, "So that's how it is. This territory doesn't just have a large number of top-tier Legendary powerhouses."

"The backbone forces and logistical support are also very complete and sufficient."

"Even the Velen Kingdom at its peak could not compare to this territory—"

Qinong, who was on the side, also couldn't help but exclaim, "This is what a prosperous territory should look like."

Cao Xing's gaze swept across the crowd, taking the opportunity to count heads.

His gaze fell on Xia Yanni and Elena.

Ever since this pair of mature women moved into the Tailor Shop together, they were now almost inseparable, working and resting together every day.

This included Little Chuchu, who had become their shared daughter, enjoying the love of two mothers.

Facing Cao Xing's gaze, both mature women smiled, their eyes filled with affection.

Cao Xing nodded slightly in response.

Then his gaze fell on another mature woman in the crowd—Gracie.

It is worth mentioning that the Baron's mother, Gracie, had also been taken into the territory by Cao Xing.

This woman now had absolutely no desire to return to the Baron's mansion.

After patrolling the area, Cao Xing confirmed that everyone in the entire territory was present.

This included Tong Chuchu, Elisa, Herlie, and other girls, who were all staying together obediently.

Cao Xing looked at the dwarven blacksmith in the crowd and asked, "Harold, how is the crafting of the warriors' equipment coming along?"

Harold replied respectfully, "Reporting to Lord, after the blacksmiths rushed the work, we have currently crafted 2,347 sets of light armor and approximately 1,342 Rare-quality one-handed swords."

"Besides that, there are also over 30 Precious-quality Guardian's Swords."

Cao Xing calculated in his mind and then nodded silently.

With so many weapons and armor, he could almost replace all the equipment on the warriors.

One must know that those Ascalon Warriors were still wearing the basic white-tier armor they had when they were first summoned!

This included their weapons, which were also low-level white-tier weapons.

Although these pieces of equipment seemed insignificant compared to a single blessing from Liu Muxue, every little bit helps.

Thus, Cao Xing ordered, "Da Zhuang, you now lead all the Arctic People to the blacksmith shop and move all these armor and weapons out."

"Yes, Lord!"

Immediately, those two hundred-plus Arctic People quickly sprang into action.

In no time, they had moved all the armor and weapons from the blacksmith shop and arranged them neatly on the ground.

Cao Xing continued to order, "Now, all warriors, come over and collect your new equipment."

Upon hearing this, the warriors immediately lined up and stepped forward, their eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

They took their own armor and weapons in order; the line was orderly, and there was not a hint of chaos.

A moment later, all the warriors had changed into their brand-new equipment and couldn't help but reveal expressions of satisfaction.

These blacksmiths had excellent craftsmanship; the armor they produced fit the body well, appearing both lightweight and sturdy.

The weapons in their hands gleamed with a cold light, which also showed the exquisite craftsmanship of this batch of one-handed swords.

As the saying goes, "clothes make the man"; after this group of warriors changed into their new equipment, everyone's demeanor was completely different.

It felt a bit like scattered troops transforming into a regular army.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction again.

He scanned the levels of the Arctic People and other workers in the territory.

A moment later, he had grasped everyone's situation.

Currently, the vast majority of the Arctic People had reached Level 20, which was the max level for Tier 2, and they could advance toward Tier 3.

Others, such as the female elves of the Elf Clan and the Crystal Clan, also had roughly Level 30 strength and could advance toward Tier 4.

This included the newly joined blacksmiths, who had also reached around Level 10 and could advance toward Tier 2.

Thus, Cao Xing decided to redeem a large quantity of [Heart of Strength] on the spot to help these workers achieve a major boost as well!

He first opened the [Dragon Store].

[Consume 600,000 Ice Dragon Mark to redeem 300 Primary Heart of Strength?]

[Consume 5,000,000 Ice Dragon Mark to redeem 500 Intermediate Heart of Strength?]

[Consume 20,000,000 Ice Dragon Mark to redeem 400 Advanced Heart of Strength?]

He clicked "Confirm" on all of them, and a large batch of Ice Dragon Mark was immediately consumed.

Although [Expert-level Heart of Strength] could also be redeemed in the Dragon Store, he thought about it and decided against it.

After all, this level of Heart of Strength was simply too expensive; one piece cost 200,000 Ice Dragon Mark, and even Cao Xing did not have that many resources on hand.

He would have to wait until the next large-scale trade to collect a large amount of materials before redeeming them.

Then, Cao Xing looked at his Battle Merits again.

[Battle Merits: 51,329,521]

Compared to the 34 million Battle Merits obtained yesterday, today it had directly broken through 50 million!

Most of this naturally came from the 9 Myriarchs they had taken down, which contributed over 10 million Battle Merits.

Cao Xing thought with great expectation, "Very good, this many Battle Merits are enough for me to redeem 256 Master-level Heart of Power!"

"In this way, another batch of warriors can have their strength boosted significantly!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing waved his hand and clicked to redeem them directly.
