Chapter 737 The second round begins, the battle to defend the city.

“Buzz!”

With a terrifying mental force bursting out, it directly covered the territories of Lord Linghui and Lord Dashou.

All the creatures on the two continents felt as if their brains were hit hard.

Civilians walking on the road, soldiers in training, and guests who were having fun.

At this moment, all of them had their eyes whitened and fainted on the spot.

Even Lord Linghui, who was in retreat, was not spared. He was struck by lightning and fainted directly.

Not to mention the other lords.

Those primary lords, middle-level lords, and Long Yu were all hit hard.

Only Lord Dashou survived.

At this moment, Lord Dashou was in retreat, and suddenly felt a vast mental force sweeping over, and his brain almost short-circuited.

But in the end, he still withstood the impact, looking at the place where Han Xing was with a pale face.

“This mental impact was caused by... that kid?”

“What is he doing?”

Lord Dashou quickly released a powerful mental force and scanned the territory.

After seeing that the civilians were only temporarily unconscious, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Han Xing didn't know that because of his breakthrough, billions of people in the two territories fell into a deep sleep.

Because he himself was also resisting a terrifying mental impact!

At this moment, Han Xing seemed to have entered a completely blank space.

The surroundings were vast.

He could only see nine swords transformed by mental power, floating above his head.

Then, these nine swords absorbed a lot of mental power in an instant, becoming larger and more condensed!

It seemed that they were going to completely manifest from the spiritual world to the real world!

Even Han Xing could sense that these nine swords were emitting amazing lethality.

Just getting close to them made people feel a tingling pain in their brains!

And this was just the beginning.

As the nine swords became more condensed and emitted unprecedented light.

Under Han Xing's gaze, the nine swords quickly split into 18 swords.

Then, these eighteen spiritual swords also began to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy, gradually becoming larger and more condensed.

Then continue to repeat this process.

From 9 to 18, from 18 to 36.

In the blink of an eye, 144 spiritual swords appeared in front of Han Xing!

Each sword exudes a terrifying spiritual fluctuation.

Han Xing has a hunch that if these more than 100 swords are chopped down at the same time, even he will be killed in an instant!

But fortunately, he has another spiritual defense method-the thousand-yuan soul shield!

This glowing spiritual shield can withstand about two hits from more than 100 swords.

And at this moment, Han Xing suddenly discovered that these 144 swords have undergone some changes.

It no longer continues to split, but merges.

In the blink of an eye, it changed from 144 to 72 again, and then to 36.

Finally... it became 9 spiritual swords again!

However, unlike before, these 9 spiritual swords became bigger and brighter!

And more real!

Han Xing could even see the dense lines on the blade and the cold light emitted by the blade!

It was as if this was real!

It contained terrifying lethality!

"Is this... upgraded successfully?"

With a bit of doubt, Han Xing gradually withdrew from his consciousness space.

At the same time, a system prompt appeared.

[Upgraded successfully! Nine Yuan Soul Breaking Technique (Primary Lord Level) has been upgraded to Nine Yuan Soul Destroying Technique (High-level Lord Level). ]

...

"It worked."

"Now, let me see the attributes of this skill!"

[Nine Yuan Soul Destroying Technique (High-level Lord Level lv1)]

[Skill attributes: Condensing all spiritual attributes, turning into 9 spiritual swords, instantly attacking the enemy's soul!

The first sword causes (attack power + spirit * 2388%) spiritual damage to it, the second one causes (attack power + spirit * 3388%) spiritual damage... and so on.

Up to 9 consecutive strikes can be performed, cooling time: 30 minutes]

(Note: Each strike will consume a lot of mental power. If the mental power is insufficient to force the next strike, it will cause a permanent reduction in one's own mental power.)

…

After reading the introduction of this skill, Han Xing took a deep breath again!

"Wow! Is it so perverted?"

The attack method of this skill is similar to the tidal arrow method.

The attack coefficient of the next strike is greatly increased compared to the previous strike.

By the ninth strike, it can even reach a terrifying multiple of (attack power + mental power * 11388%)!

And...the most important thing is that Han Xing has many ways to improve mental attributes.

By then, this Nine Yuan Soul-Destroying Art can even surpass the tidal arrow method and become his strongest killer!

"Very good!"

"With this killer weapon + tidal arrows, if I encounter an enemy like the Hundred-armed Sky Demon again, I can kill him in three seconds, no, within one second!"

Han Xing's eyes were full of confidence, that was the confidence in his own strength!

At this time, he suddenly felt something strange.

That is, the surroundings seemed too quiet, without any sound.

Of course, after a sweep of his mind, he found that the billions of creatures in the two territories were now lying straight on the street sleeping.

Han Xing's mouth twitched.

I also know that it is because of the impact of my breakthrough this time.

"But it seems that there is nothing serious. I can wake up after sleeping for a day or two."

"Just right, let them rest."

Han Xing thought happily.

Then he started to improve the next skill.

This skill is naturally one of the skills he is looking forward to.

[Do you want to consume the spiritual origin power * 3.5 billion to upgrade the 'Spiritual Destruction and Soul Return·Healing Soul (Legendary Level)' to the high-level lord level? ]

This time, Han Xing can be said to have a huge span.

Directly jumped from legend to high-level lord.

During this period, he experienced a total of seven major realms: demigod, god, true god, emperor, god king, primary lord, and intermediate lord.

It can be said that the improvement is huge!

Even Han Xing is very much looking forward to what this skill will become after it reaches the high-level lord level!

With an excited look, he directly clicked OK.

The next moment, boundless spiritual energy fluctuations swept out.

The grass and trees on the two continents began to grow wildly, and the continents were constantly shaking.

"Boom!"

"Crash!"

The vibration did not last long and subsided after a while.

Han Xing also closed his eyes and began to seriously absorb the changes brought about by this skill upgrade.

Time passed quickly...

In the blink of an eye, almost seven days had passed.

As early as five days ago, the people lying on the two continents had woken up.

Although they didn't know what happened.

But after waking up, they continued their daily lives.

Including Lord Linghui and Long Yu, they also woke up from their sleep.

But fortunately, this interruption did not cause any effects on them such as mental backlash.

Just staring at the place where Han Xing was with strange eyes.

Shaking their heads, they entered the state of retreat again.

At the same time.

Time passed about three days.

There are still about 10 days before the second round of the Southern Region Tianjiao Challenge.

Now, surrounding the central continent, a large number of floating territories have entered a quiet state.

All the promoted lords are seizing the time to improve their strength so as to meet the next game in the best condition.

On this day, Han Xing also suddenly opened his eyes.

A green light flashed from his eyes.

He took a look and found that the top floor of the tower where he was was filled with all kinds of strange plants.

At this moment, he seemed to appear in a primeval forest.

"What's going on?"

Han Xing's eyes showed a puzzled look.

At this time, Miao Qing brought the coal balls and pushed aside the vines and came to Han Xing.

"My lord, you are awake."

Han Xing nodded slightly, and then looked around.

"These, did they appear when I was in seclusion?"

Miao Qing nodded gently and said, "Yes, in the past few days, a strong aura and vitality have been emanating from your body, causing all kinds of vines and mosses in the tower to grow wildly."

"So it became like this."

Han Xing's eyes showed a look of realization.

Then he waved his hand casually.

All the plants disappeared in an instant.

The entire tower returned to its previous clean appearance.

Then, Han Xing flipped through the system panel.

[Upgrade successful! Your skill Soul Destroying and Soul Returning·Soul Healing has been successfully upgraded to the high-level lord level. 】

…

I took a look at the properties of the new skill.

[Soul Destroying and Soul Returning·Soul Healing (High-level Lord Level lv1)]

[Skill properties: Make the next 1,000 attacks have soul destroying effects, and reduce the enemy's spiritual attributes by 30% after hitting (can be effective up to high-level lords)

Every time you kill an enemy, you will absorb a soul and permanently increase your spiritual attributes by 100 points.

Skill cooldown time: 24 hours]

…

At this moment, Han Xing smiled without hesitation.

Compared with the legendary level attributes, this skill can only absorb souls for the next 100 attacks at most, and only 10 points.

In other words, he can only increase his spiritual attributes by 1,000 points a day.

But now, after such an upgrade, it has directly become 100,000!

It has directly increased 100 times!

"Okay, okay! 100,000 a day, according to this calculation, I can increase 36.5 million spirits a year, directly to the limit!"

"Ten years is 365 million, a hundred years is 3.6 billion!"

Han Xing didn't know how high the spirit attribute of the strong man at the level of the God Realm Lord was.

But he knew that the spirit attribute of the strong man at the high-level Lord level was only about 70 million.

In other words, Han Xing could crush the high-level Lord level within ten years with this skill alone, and even reach the level of the God Realm Lord!

Coupled with his newly acquired spirit system ultimate move - Nine Yuan Soul Destroying Art!

That is the real God blocking God, Buddha blocking Buddha!

It is even possible to counterattack the God Realm Lord!

Thinking of this, Han Xing took a deep breath.

But unfortunately, there are only 10 days before the second round of the Tianjiao Challenge.

This time is only enough for him to increase his spirit attribute by 1 million.

But it is also quite good.

Therefore, before entering the state of retreat, Han Xing first took out 5,000 portions of Linghong Whale Meat and 500 portions of Wanxiang Spirit Essence respectively.

He distributed them to Miaoqing, Meiqiu, Longyu, Linghui and the Great Beast Lord.

After all, they will also participate in the second round of the Tianjiao Challenge.

These things can greatly improve their spiritual attributes in a short period of time, and can also allow them to get a higher ranking in the next competition.

And these people naturally sensed how much spiritual power is contained in these things sent by Han Xing.

Especially the Wanxiang Spirit Essence at the back, which is an item that countless high-level spiritual lords and even God Realm lords desire!

And now, Han Xing gave it to them so directly.

While being moved in the heart, he also silently remembered this kindness.

Han Xing didn't care.

After all, he had more than 10 million copies of Linghong Whale Meat.

For him, dividing a few thousand copies was just a drop in the bucket.

Although the Wanxiang Spirit Essence was a little less, it was completely enough.

"I did a little research on this kind of rainbow whale meat, and it's about 10 Origin Coins per serving."

"The price of the Wanxiang Spirit Essence is 1 serving = 800,000 Origin Coins, and there is still a shortage of supply."

"That is to say, the materials I have are worth more than 200 million Origin Coins."

However, for Han Xing now, 200 million Origin Coins are not such an amazing number.

With the Star Unicorn, he can get a fixed income of 200 million Origin Coins every 10 years.

Therefore, it is most important to digest all these resources and use them to improve his own strength.

Then, Han Xing distributed the rainbow whale meat to some heroes in the territory.

Such as Ming, Aiden, Yingyue and others.

After doing this, Han Xing entered a state of retreat again.

Time... passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another nine days passed.

On this day, a golden stone tablet flew out from the central continent.

There were several lines of large characters engraved on it.

[The second round of the Southern Region Pride Challenge will start in one day. Please prepare for it. ]

[The number of people who passed the audition this time: 14,452,674]

[All contestants will participate in the second round together. ]

[The second round is: City Defense Battle]

[Competition rules: After the game starts, all contestants will be teleported to the continent and randomly assigned a city. ]

[Your goal is to deal with waves of monsters in the next 30 days. ]

[The difficulty of the monsters will continue to increase with the number of days. ]

[If the monster breaks through the city, destroys the central tower, or the lord dies, it means you have been eliminated. ]

[Attention! Affected by the power of the eternal lord of this continent, all contestants and members of the territory will be resurrected in their respective territories after death, but they will be in a short-term weak state. ]

[As long as you persist for more than 20 days, you can successfully pass the second round. ]

[At the same time, the scoreboard will be launched simultaneously, and the detailed rules will be launched after the game starts. 】

…

…

When everyone finally finished reading the long string of information on the stone tablet, there was an uproar among countless lords!

"Lord! The content of this Tianjiao Challenge is indeed different from the previous one. The second round is actually a city defense battle!"

"Yes! No wonder the previous gossip revealed that this time the test is the overall strength of the territory."
