My Misfortune Crushed Instances

Thunderbolt Flash has a five-second cooldown, which is relatively short for teleportation-type skills.

At the same time, its movement distance reaches thirty zhang, nearly one hundred meters, which is considered very long among similar skills.

In short, among all teleportation skills, it definitely belongs to the top tier, deserving of its identity as a legendary level derivative skill.

The teleportation skills easily obtained by mages are generally at the epic level. Rare-level ones are scarce, and those are relatively weak, possibly having cooldowns of several minutes and distances that might not even reach ten meters, with some even having a casting delay.

However, Li Rui has experienced a lot. Legendary equipment, skills, oversized administrator coats, and the heaven-defying Big Comparison Hood, these things have made him quite tolerant of top-notch items and skills.

Logically, he wouldn’t get so excited by acquiring another high-quality teleportation as to run off in a puff of smoke.

But now he has to admit, he is indeed more excited than usual because when using Thunderbolt Flash, he discovered he has acquired a temporary fusion skill that can be used within three seconds.

This skill solved the massive annoyance he always had, which is the inability of pure magic skills from the Great Fire Bell Spell system to fuse with Big Comparison Hood.

The newly emerged temporary skill not only has the attributes of Shenxiao Thunderbolt Heart Scripture but can also combine with Great Fire Bell Spell or All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell, allowing them to inherit Big Comparison Hood’s advanced shock and advanced annihilation, plus the attributes of Divine Thunder and Community Thunder.

Furthermore, perhaps because of the sheer power of this skill, it naturally rejects those rare skills Li Rui possesses and does not include them in the fusion sequence.

Li Rui moved away from the plains to both adapt to the newly unlocked teleportation skill and find a secluded place to experiment with the new temporary fusion skill.

He zipped over to the hilly area at the edge of the plains, checking his Spiritual Power, which was about seventy percent remaining. Thus, he moved in his mind and used Thunderbolt Flash for an in-place teleportation.

The new skill only unlocks within the three seconds following teleportation, and it cannot be used once the time has passed.

Li Rui saw the skill icon flashing with the temporary tag in the skill list, opted to use it, and immediately felt an overwhelming sense of weakness pouring through his body, raising a serious alarm in his mind.

He promptly interrupted the casting because that was a precursor to Spiritual Power depletion.

This skill, which hasn’t been used before, couldn’t be cast even by Li Rui, who had seventy percent Spiritual Power, and his attribute far exceeds other Extraordinaries.

High consumption basically implies significant power, so Li Rui was pleased instead. He drank a bottle of Spirit Recovery Potion and activated endless recovery mode. When his Spiritual Power was full again, he adjusted the Soul Bone Pendant to enhance his total Spiritual Power.

After preparation, he used Thunderbolt Flash again.

This time, as Spiritual Power stripped away from his body at an astonishing pace, a trace of scorching aura began gathering between heaven and earth.

Though it was quick, in Li Rui’s eyes it felt like a long time had passed, as these mysterious and antiquated energies gradually manifested in physical form, a red palm glowing with golden light descending from the sky.

It possessed the speed of Divine Thunder and the destructive power of Community Thunder, and within a brief moment, it struck the hilltop he locked onto with his mind.

Bang!!

As if the heavens and earth had collapsed, the entire hilltop was flattened by a single palm, leaving only scorched rocks and soil, burnt by Thunder Fire, emitting hot smoke.

Li Rui sat down on the ground, feeling another wave of weakness.

This skill actually drained all his Spiritual Power, not leaving a single trace.

To use it, he couldn’t even activate any other state skills, otherwise his Spiritual Power would be insufficient.

But then again, the skill’s power is several times greater than All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell, given its synthesis formula is three lv5 legendary level skills.

Right now, it’s okay without augmentation. When his Spiritual Power increases in the future, he can naturally cast it more comfortably.

While Li Rui was recovering Spiritual Power using the Spirit Recovery Potion, he inspected the skill list again, staring at the grayed-out fusion skill for a long time.

All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell.

He was certain that within this Secret Realm battlefield, no one could withstand this move head-on, not even the Divine Son Vons or Simon.

He couldn’t help but think of the long-term mission he carried.

Collect five Thunder Skills to unlock a mythic skill.

From the current situation, after fusing Community Thunder and Divine Thunder, he gained such an invincible skill at the same level, perhaps once he collects all five, it will naturally fuse into the mission reward.

But it’s also possible that, during the normal collection process, he can only get them one Thunder by one Thunder, and only when they’re all gathered can they fuse.

The appearance of Big Comparison Hood allowed him to immediately enhance skill strength with each step.

While deliberating, his Spiritual Power replenished slightly, so he got up to head back.

When Li Rui returned to the team, everyone’s gaze upon him was peculiar.

Because they had just seen this guy use a very unreasonable teleportation skill to flash into the mountains, soon followed by a deafening boom from the mountain, and after some time, he teleported back like nothing happened.

Hu Neng was a bit confused, but he didn’t question, instead came forward to discuss what to do next.

Since Profound Snake was stored in the inventory, the ghostly miasma in the plains disappeared as well, so the surroundings had a great view and movement was convenient.

Li Rui said: "We’ll go down from the west, no longer interact with those Demon Race tribes, follow Xieyang Path directly to the upper stream of Food Water, return to headquarters along the river. Chairman Hu, what do you think?"

"I have no objections." Hu Neng agreed without hesitation.

Thus, after organizing the team, they began to head westward back to headquarters.

.....

At this time, the command center of Dragon Country in Yellow Earth City was not at peace.

One message after another kept accumulating, delivered to Cheng Wen’s desk.

Although bodies in the Secret Realm won’t inherit an addiction to smoking, everyone in the room wanted to light one, but alas, there was no tobacco here.

"The Demon Race of Wind Slave Royal Court really can’t be judged by common sense."

Kong Ji rubbed the short hair on top of his head, feeling the matter really mind-boggling, "What do we do now?"

The reason everyone felt so troubled was because the ruler of the Royal Court, the king of all tribes, had led his retinue out of the mountain, launching a conquest plan directly, seemingly wanting to advance west along Food Water’s lower reaches to southern Wangze State then turning towards Zhangye State.

This, in turn, led to a problem. Even though the enemy’s target is the controlled zone of Polar Alliance, the main road passing through now is in Dragon Country’s hands.

The command center certainly doesn’t want to give up the scope of influence they’ve established; otherwise, it would benefit the Western Kingdom for no reason. But if they don’t make way, they’ll clash with Wind Slave Royal Court, and Polar Alliance will take advantage of the situation.

What should be a stable tripartite stalemate was disrupted by a reckless brute.

Cheng Wen said, "There’s absolutely no way to give up that road in southern Wangze State; we must fight. Discuss right away, who should be the main force in battle?"

"Guan Gui?" someone suggested.

"His skills aren’t suitable for team coordination." Was immediately denied by someone.

"I’ll have Cheng Mingyue come over and find someone to pair with."

"Available targets for deployment include 0104, 0105, 0201, and 0109, all in large loot production areas."

The room was full of discussion before any decisions were made, when someone came to report.

"Commander Cheng, Li Rui, no, 0109 has returned."
