971 Murong Xue's Path

Although the S-grade skill, Heart of Darkness, was a spiritual attack skill, it also had some supporting effects.

After all, the principle of the S-grade Heart of Darkness was to use Liu Yan's powerful spirit energy to attack the other party's mind.

As such, he could also choose to use his powerful spirit energy to soothe the other party's spirit energy, thereby helping the other party relieve mental fatigue.

This was another use of Liu Yan's S-grade skill, Heart of Darkness.

It was a great S-grade spirit energy attack skill, but it had now become a mere support skill. However, Liu Yan felt that it was completely worth it.

Chu Long was dazed for a moment before she recovered. Then, she felt the world before her become clearer and brighter.

The mental exhaustion from healing others for a long time had made her muddle-headed, but now, she felt much more awake and comfortable.

Other than some physical fatigue, she was no different from usual.

While Chu Long was pleasantly surprised, she quickly realized that Liu Yan had used some special skill on her.

She did not expect him to have such a skill. To think it could help her relieve her mental fatigue. It was too magical!

"Brother Liu Yan, you're too amazing. You actually have such a skill!" Chu Long said joyfully. Her face was full of smiles. The fatigue from before had lessened a lot.

Liu Yan scratched Chu Long's delicate little nose and smiled, "Alright, it's been hard on you to continue healing others. You'll have to be busy these few days."

"I guarantee to accomplish the mission!" Chu Long said seriously and left.

Following this, Liu Yan entered Murong Xue's tent.

Upon doing so, he was stunned by what he saw.

He saw Murong Xue jumping around in the tent, cultivating martial arts techniques. She looked excited and energetic. She didn't look the slightest bit seriously injured.

When Murong Xue saw Liu Yan, she immediately greeted him excitedly, "Liu Yan, you're here!"

Judging from her happy expression, it seemed that something good had just happened.

"I thought you were seriously injured, but it looks like you're fine," Liu Yan teased.

Previously, he had been worried about Murong Xue, but now it seemed that he was worrying too much.

Thinking about it carefully, Murong Xue was not considered a top expert in Team Origin with her strength, but in terms of defense, only Liu Yan was stronger than her.

Even though Ye Yifan, Allen Smith, and the others were far stronger than Murong Xue, they were still no match for her in terms of defense.

With such a terrifying defense, it would be difficult for her to be injured.

Hearing this, Murong Xue smiled and said, "I was injured at the beginning, but you know my constitution. I recover quickly. With Chu Long's treatment, I've recovered more than half of my strength and am now full of vigor. Also, I just broke through!"

"Oh?" Liu Yan looked at Murong Xue in surprise.

As Murong Xue spoke, she stomped, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Her aura also changed and rose rapidly!

Liu Yan sensed her strength and was surprised.

Before this, she had been at 12-star combat strength.

In Team Origin, other than Liu Yan, the strongest ones were Allen Smith and the others, who had reached 13-star combat strength.

Liu Yan naturally expected that in such a great battle, the members of Team Origin would have a higher chance of breaking through. This was especially true for the experts on the team. When facing powerful opponents, they would have the best chance of breaking through by surviving bloody battles.

However, he did not expect Murong Xue's combat power to increase by two stars in one go!

That's right. Liu Yan was shocked to find that Murong Xue's strength had jumped two stars and reached 14-star combat strength!

One had to know that it was not easy for a normal Awakened to increase their combat strength by two levels. It was very difficult to do so in a day.

Even extremely rare geniuses could at most increase their battle prowess by one star in a day. And that itself carried many unbelievably harsh conditions that had to be met.

Yet now, Murong Xue had broken through two stars of combat strength all of a sudden. It was a little exaggerated.

Even Liu Yan had only accomplished such a feat once.

"You..."

Liu Yan was puzzled. He couldn't understand how she did it.

However, he quickly thought of something and his eyes lit up as he said, "Did your Tyrant Body breakthrough?"

Murong Xue's talent was the S-grade Berserk Stance, which allowed her to enter the Tyrant Body state. Moreover, the level of the Tyrant Body could be improved.

Previously, she could already enter the stage-4 Tyrant Body state.

Now, it seemed that she had broken through again and was able to enter a higher stage for Tyrant Body. That was why her strength had increased so much.

Combined with the increase in Murong Xue's strength, thus her accomplishment in increasing her combat strength by two stars in a day!

Murong Xue nodded and said excitedly, "Yes, I can already enter stage 5 of the Tyrant Body. That's why my strength has increased by a lot. Previously, I had been wondering about how to quickly increase the stage of the Tyrant Body. Now it seems that experiencing big battles is a shortcut!"

When Liu Yan heard this, he immediately understood.

Previously, there had been no special method for Murong Xue to advance to the stage of her Tyrant Body. She could only gradually advance it as her level and strength increased. This method was undoubtedly a little slow.

During the process, she searched high and low for other shortcuts to quickly advance the stage of her Tyrant Body so that she could quickly increase her strength.

However, after a series of attempts, they all failed. Unexpectedly, after experiencing such a great battle, Murong Xue could enter the high-stage Tyrant Body state faster. It could be considered a pleasant surprise.

"After experiencing a dangerous battle, you can quickly enter the high-stage Tyrant Body state. This seems plausible," Liu Yan nodded in agreement.

Murong Xue said excitedly, "That's great! I want to be in front during tomorrow's battle. Not only that but in future battles, I want to be right in front too! Only then can I quickly increase my strength!"

When Liu Yan heard this, he was instantly speechless.

Originally, he had been worried about Murong Xue's well-being and had come to visit her. He even felt a little guilty and thought that the mission he had assigned to her was too dangerous, wondering if her position was too close to the front.

He did not expect Murong Xue to want to head to the front of the battlefield to face even greater danger.

Liu Yan was worried about Murong Xue's safety and wanted to stop her. However, seeing her excited expression, he felt that it was better not to say anything. Even if he did, she would not agree anyway.

After all, Murong Xue was a martial arts fanatic. If there was a way to quickly increase her strength, no matter how dangerous it was, she would try it. She was not afraid of danger at all.

Liu Yan decided not to stop her and just let Murong Xue have her way.

At most, he would just keep an eye on her in future battles to prevent any danger.

In addition, he could also think of a way to find some high-grade equipment for Murong Xue in the future to further improve her defense and combat strength. This would also reduce the chances of danger and protect her.
