Chapter 357 - 363: Power Multiplied
Hang Yu accepted Xu Tianhua’s request and agreed to serve as the honorary director of the Jiang City Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau. Although it’s an honorary position, it does hold real power.
For instance, during an emergency military situation, if Xu Tianhua is not in Jiang City, the Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau can invite Hang Yu to oversee operations, ensuring the department functions effectively in critical moments.
Of course, concerning Hang Yu’s identity.
Only departmental and top-level executives, as well as Celestial Net’s upper echelons, will be aware.
Hang Yu received this title.
And it’s not without benefits.
The Jiang City Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau is an intelligence organization mainly responsible for monitoring all of Jiang City, gathering various intelligence, particularly regarding monster changes and invasions by Spirit Realm natives.
After Hang Yu became the honorary director, he obtained high-level authorization, granting access to confidential intelligence that ordinary people absolutely cannot touch. Hang Yu can inquire with Xu Tianhua at any time or even personally review such information.
This greatly opens doors.
Future activities will be much more convenient.
After Hang Yu brought back the Magic Crystal Cold Iron, he finally gathered the necessary materials, and Hang Xiaobai immediately used them to successfully forge the Level 11 blue equipment "Demon Scorpion Axe"!
[Demon Scorpion Axe]: Level 11 equipment, Blue Intermediate Quality, Physical Attack +40, Strength +9, Agility +6, with the attached skill "Toxic Splash"
"Toxic Splash," a special skill, consumes 5 points of Spiritual Power from the equipment holder each time it is activated, launching an attack with splashing venom, putting the target into a poisoned state: Strength, Agility -3, Constitution, Will -2, Spirit, Spiritual Sense, Movement Speed -1, losing 1 life point per second, lasting 20 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.
Among blue equipment, the Demon Scorpion Axe may not be especially powerful, but its basic attributes and attached effects still make it a formidable weapon beyond comparison with green weapons.
Firstly.
The basic attributes of the Demon Scorpion Axe are very high.
Hang Yu also benefits from dual wield skills.
His attack power while dual-wielding weapons rivals that of wielding the Earth Dragon Fluctuation Spear, and with two weapons attacking simultaneously, his single-target output ability greatly exceeds the former.
Secondly.
The attached effect "Toxic Splash" of the Demon Scorpion Axe is a sharp and tricky support skill, different from the Evil Bone Cursed Sword’s "Evil Bone Curse."
While the paralysis effect of the Evil Bone Curse is strong, it only activates when the attack is successful. If one strike with the Evil Bone Curse is blocked or dodged, its effect won’t activate, wasting Spiritual Power.
The Toxic Splash of the Demon Scorpion Axe has no such limitations, with venom directly spewing forth unless completely blocked by a Giant Shield or an all-angle defense skill, even weapon blocking will still trigger its effect.
The poisoning effect can stack up to five layers.
Theoretically, under optimal conditions, the enemy will suffer: Strength -15, Agility -15, Constitution -10, Spirit, Will, Movement Speed -5, losing 5 life points per second.
At this current stage.
A complete drop in strength tier!
This negative poisoning status cannot be dispelled by Fighting Qi or similar skills and can only be removed by the Purification Skills of a Holy Professional, making it quite difficult to counter, especially when used alongside the Evil Bone Cursed Sword, it becomes invincible!
Hang Yu picked up the battle axe.
He felt the weapon’s power!
The boosting effects of various attributes spread throughout his body.
Its exterior was shiny black, covered in purple patterns, with a rough grip, relatively heavy, giving a solid feel, with a length of roughly three and a half feet.
Left hand holding the Evil Bone Sword.
Right hand holding the Demon Scorpion Axe.
For group battles, use the Fluctuation Spear.
Perfect!
Hang Yu put away the weapons and said, "Bai, well done, you truly didn’t let me down!"
Hang Xiaobai revealed a smile: "Now brother’s strength is getting stronger and stronger, Bai is no longer a match for brother."
Following Hang Yu leveling up to 11.
Hang Xiaobai also reached level 11.
Hang Xiaobai’s current strength is not too different from that of the Dark Elf Swordsman in the Secret Witch Hermit Association, but compared to Hang Yu, there’s still quite a gap, with slightly lesser output capability.
Hang Yu smiled and said: "Bai, your foundation is still very solid, at least your basic attributes are higher than mine, just your equipment lags a bit, leaving great room for improvement in the future!"
Hang Xiaobai didn’t seem too interested in strength advancement; the Fairy Race’s nature is more relaxed and laid-back, especially among the Illusion Demon clan, but seeing brother’s rapid improvement, Bai felt the need to get a bit stronger.
Because getting stronger.
Enables helping brother with more tasks.
No one would mind being too strong.
Hang Yu is no exception, even with three blue weapons, already exceeding most people, he still doesn’t miss any chance to further empower himself. That night, securing enough Spiritual Qi, he formally activated the Third Tier Inheritance "Frenzy Lord"!
He became the first known person in Jiang City to activate the Third Tier Inheritance!
The enhancement effects of the Third Tier Inheritance are nearly three times that of the Second Tier.
Its immediate impact on Hang Yu is beyond doubt.
Below are the effects of this legacy activation.
[Frenzy Lord], Third Tier Inheritance, Permanent Strength +12, Permanent Constitution +10, Permanent Agility +5, Permanent Life Energy +15, Permanent Spiritual Power +8, Physical Attack +15, Physical Defense +7, Permanent Movement Speed +8, immunity to near-death weakness.
Hang Yu’s Basic Life Energy has already reached as high as 165 points, Spiritual Power as high as 118 points, Strength 38, Agility 33.5, Constitution 19, with a substantial increase in physical attack and defense, his output capabilities are becoming increasingly explosive, transforming in the direction of a human-shaped weapon.
With the activation of the Frenzy Lord inheritance, three skills: Demon Blood Awakening, Blade of Burning Blood, and Frenzied Fighting Qi also receive a certain degree of enhancement, and aside from these anticipated changes, there’s also an emergence of new changes not seen before.
Hang Yu’s demeanor has changed.
If Hang Yu does not deliberately suppress his aura, everyone seeing him will feel an indescribable invisible pressure!
This feeling is akin to: sheep meeting a tiger, chicken meeting an eagle!
It can be said that a sense of dread even fear arises from the depths of the soul, and they will feel that this young man with refined features is actually a rampaging giant beast clad in human skin.
Hang Yu is well aware of why this change is happening.
This is actually the suppression of higher-tier life over lower-tier life.
First or Second Tier Inheritance is a low-tier inheritance, aside from bringing an enhancement of power, it basically doesn’t bring any change to the body.
Third or Fourth Tier Inheritance is a middle-tier inheritance, which brings not only greater enhancement in power but also more profound, far-reaching concepts, representing a transformation at a level above life.
The end of a Spirit Realm inheritance sequence is God!
If one could truly reach this point.
They would already have become a god!
Of course, this step is extremely difficult, there is no information in Hang Yu’s Memory of the Great Sage indicating this level, implying the Great Sage never reached this tier, probably only reaching epic, at best, the level of legend.
Regardless.
From this moment on, Hang Yu.
Has already transcended the constitution of ordinary people.
Starting from the Third Tier, every ascent brings drastic changes in constitution, the abilities he gains will become increasingly powerful, and more flexible, unlike low-tier abilities which are weak and rigid.
The next two days were calm and peaceful.
Aside from preparing troops in the Spirit Realm, Hang Yu spent other times helping Xu Tianhua select agents, and with Hang Yu’s assistance, the Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau in Jiang City was becoming more complete day by day.
However, on this day.
Su Yunbing came to find Hang Yu: "There are some issues on Sharu’s side, this matter might need your personal intervention."
Hang Yu frowned slightly, Su Yunbing is now one of his most trusted direct lineage subordinates, aside from Er Gou and Bai, her ability to handle affairs is very strong, generally matters would not be reported to the top, and she could resolve them easily herself.
Since it was reported to Hang Yu.
This must mean the issue is certainly quite troublesome.
The Fishman production base on Sharu’s side has already achieved preliminary results.
The Fishman Race’s production and collection department has expanded to twice its initial size, now it’s being put into production, a venture Hang Yu particularly values, cannot have any mishaps.
Hang Yu inquired: "What happened?"
"Recently, Sharu has been targeted by another Pioneer from the Storm Tribe." Su Yunbing first briefly explained the situation: "This Pioneer has far greater power than Sharu, he decided to annex Sharu."
After that.
She explained the reason.
The Storm Tribe is not a monolith either.
Although these Pioneers are loyal beyond question to the tribe, they also have personal interests, each aiming to achieve merit, hence during the Otherworld expansion process, internal conflicts naturally occur.
The Storm Tribe does not interfere in this.
The weak are prey to the strong, natural development, as is traditionally the way of the Spirit Realm.
Due to setbacks in its early development, Sharu has been performing mediocrely among the Pioneers, naturally becoming a target for stronger Pioneers, who intend to drive Sharu away or incorporate him, while his troops and territory will be taken over in full.
This clearly threatens the core interests of the Cyan Dragon Group.
As the boss, Hang Yu cannot tolerate this.
But the opponent is too strong.
Su Yunbing is also helpless without resources, the Cyan Dragon Group is ultimately just a civilian force in the west of Jiang City, incapable of real combat against such indigenous groups, so she had to report it.
"Understood, don’t worry, in fact, even without this incident, I was planning to help Sharu annex other Storm Tribe Pioneers, since we’ve run into this opportunity now, there’s no need for courtesy."
Hang Yu lightly tapped the table.
"Old Xu’s Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau in Jiang City has been officially established, and it just needs an opportunity to show off, ask Sharu to get all the intelligence on the opponent, the more detailed the better!"
Su Yunbing smiled slightly: "I guessed you would do so, I’ve already organized the intelligence."
"Haha, Teacher Su does things, makes me truly relieved."
Hang Yu glanced at the intelligence with great satisfaction, picked up his phone and made a call, "Hey, Old Xu, it’s me, I’ve got something good for you... hmm, can’t explain over the phone, you better come over!"
