After killing the Nine Dragons Sword Saint, in terms of the energy that can strengthen the attributes, Li Qing's "Dark Devouring" actually didn't plunder much.

The Nine Dragons Sword Saint Sword Dao is extraordinary, and he can get the title of "Sword Saint" only with the Golden Pole Section, which is equivalent to the strength of a level 16 high-level warrior, and his real combat power far exceeds his strength level.

But after all, he is only a golden pole, he has no special bloodline, and his physique is not extraordinary. It's not like Isohime, who has a huge body with strong qi and blood. Therefore, Li Qing killed the Nine Dragons Sword Saint, and the energy obtained was limited.

In total, he only increased his strength by a little, and he was only agile at all—this was because the Nine Dragons Sword Saint Martial Dao was extremely tenacious, condensing the sword heart and sword soul, so that his soul power was unusually strong, making Li Qing grab the unconventional soul energy.

Otherwise, with Li Qing's current strength, an ordinary sixteenth-level high-level warrior would be able to increase him by 1. The total attribute of 5 is already very good.

After breaking through the level, Li Qing's current attributes are:

Class: Black Knight (Level 11/Level 21, you can advance to the legendary class Nightmare Knight after reaching level 21).

Force: 65

Dexterity: 50

Constitution: 65

Perception: 37.

Intelligence: 12.

Free attribute points: 2 - The free attributes of these two points are not counted as obtained from killing the Nine Dragons Sword Master.

As before, Li Qing added two free attributes to the agility attribute. As a result, his agility has become 52 points, which is equivalent to an eighth-level agility specialty.

In addition to attribute points, the biggest gain from killing the Nine Dragons Sword Saint is the improvement of Li Qing's extraordinary skills.

It is important to know that the actual combat power is not completely determined by the level of strength.

The strength of actual combat power is also greatly related to extraordinary skills.

The Nine Dragons Sword Master is a good example. With the body of the golden pole, he can kill the strong people of the Pillar Kingdom, and even kill the enemy beyond the third order, relying on the extraordinary swordsmanship "Nine Dragons Kendo".

With his extraordinary skills, Li Qing has also repeatedly crossed the ranks to kill the enemy.

And the Dark Devouring will contain the swordsmanship experience of the Nine Dragons Sword Saint's life, and the "Kendo True Seed" condensed by his sword heart, sword intent, and sword soul has plundered it, and fused with Li Qing's sword skills, making his beginner sword skills slash the wind, and advance to the middle-level sword skills "Dragons Without Leaders". The advancement of this extraordinary skill is the real harvest worth celebrating.

Killing a large number of minions can also get the same amount of enhanced energy, but you will definitely not be able to get "skill points" that can increase the skill level of the "true kendo seed".

Therefore, although Li Qing's battle was thrilling, and even the last bit of blood marrow energy was consumed in the recovery of the broken neck, but only one "group of dragons without a leader" was worth everything.

On the attribute panel transformed by the power seed, it is introduced as follows: the group of dragons has no leader, the mid-level sword technique, a sword swing, and releases eighteen sword qi. The firing range is twenty meters. Each sword aura can attack up to three targets in a row.

If you emit sword qi with your bare hands, you can break through the magic defense of level 4 strength. When holding a weapon, the power of sword qi is increased by varying degrees depending on the level of the weapon. The strongest can break through any level of physical and magical defense below the legend.

In the past, the primary sword skill slashed the wind, and the range was only ten meters. Although the power is considerable, it can only cut through ordinary armor, and it is difficult to pose a threat to magic defense and magic armor.

When Li Qing faced the enemy in the past, he mainly relied on explosive flame arrows and Broken Yue, which had a powerful shock wave penetration. "Slashing the Wind" is more used to deal with unarmored and defenseless enemies.

And now, the number of sword qi without a leader in the group of dragons is much less than that of the wind slashing, only eighteen sword qi. But the range of the sword qi was doubled, reaching twenty meters. Each sword qi can also attack up to three targets in a row.

The power is even more surging, and if you emit sword qi with your bare hands, you can cut through the magic defense of the fourth level of strength. If you hold a weapon in your hand, you can also get a weapon amplification for the power of your sword energy. The better the quality of the weapon, the more powerful the sword qi will be.

It seems that if Li Qing uses the dragon tooth sword to send out a group of dragons without a leader, the power of the sword qi is enough to cut through the magic and physical defenses below any legend.

Obtaining the sword skill of "Dragons Without a Leader", Li Qing's strength increased sharply, which can be described as a tiger with wings.

Now, if there is another Isohime, even if Li Qing has exhausted the blood marrow energy, he can still fight with that kind of pillar country-level sea monster with the power of the leaderless dragons.

If the timing is right, it is not impossible to decapitate him with a single blow.

The only regret is that the Dragon's Tooth Knife does not belong to him. After this battle is over, it has to be returned to Long Linghan.

Therefore, Li Qing still has to find a way to get a sword or sword of similar quality to the dragon's tooth sword, so that he can exert the maximum power of the dragons without a leader in the future.

As for the mutation skill of "Nightmare Demon Body" obtained when he was promoted to the eleventh level black knight, it had nothing to do with the Nine Dragons Sword Saint.

The Nightmare Demon Body was originally in the Strength Seed, and it only took Li Qing to be promoted to level eleven to be eligible for this skill.

And the surprise that the Nightmare Demon Body brought to Li Qing was even more than that of the dragons without a leader.

This skill, in a sense, is the same as the primary charge, which belongs to the anti-heaven level ability.

Come to think of it, only he, a super strong seed carefully crafted by Su Su, can have such an ability to defy the sky.

The so-called armed with a sharp weapon, the murderous intent arises spontaneously. Li Qingxin has two powerful skills, and he can't wait to try his edge.

So after the strengthening was finished and the characteristics of the two new skills were figured out, Li Qing didn't greet the merman girls, picked up his knife and left, and rushed towards the battlefield.

And the merman girls were inspired by Li Qing's miraculous achievements in cutting off his head and killing the Nine Dragons Sword Saint, and their fighting spirit became more and more high, and they didn't need him to greet them, so they raised a strong wind, controlled the big waves, and followed Li Qing to charge.

When charging, the merman girls blushed and commented loudly in the language of the merman: "He must be a descendant of the Great God of Punishment!" The head is still fighting to the death, only the great god of punishment is so majestic! ”

"That's right, it must be a descendant of the Great God of Xingtian. No wonder he was so murderous, the Great God of Xingtian dared to compete with the Ancient God Emperor, and after his head was broken, he still stood tall and fought to the death. As a descendant of the Great God of Xingtian, he should really be so fierce. ”

"It's a little fierce, but it's so manly, I think I'm already in love with him, and he won't marry in this life!"

"There's a war going on right now, don't be crazy here! But I really didn't expect that there was still the bloodline of the Great God of Xingtian in this world. With such a warrior, we will win this battle! ”

"Ha Lu Ha, there is no doubt that you will win! Sisters, follow the Celestial Warriors and slaughter the Amaterasu fleet to the ground! ”

In the battlefield.

Long Linghan saw Li Qing still fighting with a broken head from afar, cutting the Nine Dragons Sword Saint into pieces, and a relaxed smile suddenly appeared on his pretty face, which had been tense.

To be honest, the appearance of the Nine Dragons Sword Saint really made Long Linghan sweat. Rao was not afraid of danger after she had been through a hundred battles, and her heart was also raised to her throat at that time.

She really didn't expect that in the Amaterasu detachment fleet composed of eight warships, not only Isohime was accompanying her, but even the famous swordsman of the Nine Dragons Sword Saint was also hiding in the fleet.

The implications of this are really intriguing.

"There are only eight battleships, only one of which is a first-class battleship, and it actually brings a main force in naval warfare like Isohime, and there is also a sword master of the Nine Dragons...... What exactly does the Eagle Division Sun Moon want to do? I can't guess at all......"

Long Linghan couldn't guess the true purpose of the commander of the Amaterasu Detachment Fleet, Eagle Division Rizuki.

She couldn't have imagined that the main target of the Eagle Division Sun and Moon would be herself.

It's not that Long Linghan doesn't have enough intelligence, it's that she doesn't take herself too seriously at all.

Of course, she is clear about the fact that she has the potential to be a strong person in the country.

However, with the empire's huge population base of 370 million, a perfect system of inheritance of strength, a folk atmosphere of studious and knowledge, and an educational concept of education without class, there are many young and strong people with the potential to control the country.

The empire is not like Amaterasu, nor is it like the Western continent, where there is no tradition of the aristocracy monopolizing everything.

In the Western Continent and Amaterasu, knowledge and power are monopolized by the church and hereditary aristocracy, and it is difficult to pass on without a certain net worth. The children of the poor with low status, let alone the systematic inheritance of strength, it is very difficult to even read and write.

A strong man like the Nine Dragons Sword Saint who was born as a commoner is rare in the Western Continent and Amaterasu Kingdom, and it is rare to see.

Even the Radiant Church is unlikely to change this status quo.

After all, although the church started from the bottom, the church's prosperity still relied on the strong support of the aristocracy—in the Dark Ages, only the nobles held the knowledge and power, and when they joined the church, they could easily occupy the top positions.

And the church has developed to the present, and the original team, even if they were only poor peasants before, has now become hereditary nobles because of their dragon skills.

In this way, the monopoly of the aristocracy could not have changed radically.

As for the ruling class of Amaterasu, it has always been a combination of divine power and royal power.

In the past, Amaterasu was ruled by the descendants of the three gods of Amaterasu. Whoever can become a nobleman must also have the blood of the three gods. Now, it is ruled by a new aristocracy loyal to the Cult of the Radiant God.

In the Western Continent and Amaterasu, it is almost impossible for the children of commoners to get ahead.

In the empire, in every village and fort, there are retired low-ranking officers, who are responsible for the inheritance of the basic strength. The most ordinary children of peasant households can also get basic training from retired officers in the village fort.

Once he is found to be talented, he will be recommended by the officer to the county-level government school.

After testing, once it is verified that he is indeed talented, he can enter the three county-level schools of the Samurai Hall, the Sorcerer Hall, and the Alchemist Hall respectively according to the direction of the talent to receive publicly-funded training.

If you can perform well in the county-level school, you can enter the higher level of the prefecture-level school.

If you still perform well in the provincial schools, you can enter the university halls in the provincial capitals.

If you can stand out from the capital university, you will have the opportunity to enter the "Jinkoku University Hall" in Imperial Shenjing and receive the highest level of further study.

For publicly-funded apprentices from the common people, all expenses during their studies at all levels of academies were paid by the government.

All they need to do is accept the Empire's assignment and serve the Empire for ten years after completing their studies. After ten years, they can choose where they want to go - generally speaking, the vast majority of publicly-funded apprentices who have served the empire for ten years will choose to stay in their own department.

And during the ten years of serving the empire, the samurai, magicians, and alchemists trained at public expense were not simply cattle and horses. They can also get merit and remuneration, just for a relatively low price.

In the imperial army, even the lowest-level ordinary soldiers can use the weapons and battle armor of the initial spiritual weapon, precisely because there are a large number of refiners trained by the government in the refining workshops at all levels of the empire.

And in the Western Continent, spellcasters will never create weapons and armor for ordinary soldiers. Even the nobles who wanted to get a magic weapon had to pay a lot of money to get the spellcasters. The same is true of the Church of the Lord of Light.

Therefore, although there will inevitably be omissions in the talent training mechanism of the empire, it has been able to tap the potential seeds of the people to the greatest extent and make the greatest use of the abilities of the spellcasters.

The empire can besiege the whole world with the strength of a country, and it is precisely because of the excellent mechanism of the empire.

Under this excellent talent training mechanism, the empire's civilian powerhouses emerged in an endless stream. Even half of the powerful people in the empire are from low-level families such as farmers, hunters, and fishermen.

Moreover, these strong people from commoners are more loyal and firm to the empire than some strong people from noble families. After all, it was the empire that changed their fate and gave them the opportunity to get ahead.

Therefore, as long as the demographic advantage of the empire remains, there will never be a crisis of talent shortage.

As for the potential seeds of the town-level level...... From the Imperial Zhenguo University Hall, three hundred can come out in a year!

As the highest institution of learning in the empire, the tutors in the hall of Zhenguo University are also the lowest powerhouses of the Pillar Country. There are quite a few town-level tutors.

This makes it very difficult to enter the Zhenguo University Hall. In addition to the best publicly-funded apprentices who have risen to the first level, including self-financed students from noble families, only 300 people are recruited every year. And these three hundred apprentices, it can be said that each of them is a seed of the town.

Of course, even if it is a seed of Zhenguo, not everyone can become a strong person in Zhenguo - those who die halfway, those whose potential is exhausted, those who are wasted by themselves, and those who are stuck in the last bottleneck for life...... There are always various accidents that make it difficult for the seed to grow into a towering tree.

However, anyone who can learn from Zhenguo University will have the lowest achievement in his life, and he is also at the level of Zhu Guo.

It seems that Long Linghan, although he has a complete family inheritance, has also studied in Zhenguo University for three years.

There is no doubt that Long Linghan entered at his own expense. is at her own expense, and it is also because of her outstanding talent and military exploits that she is qualified to enter the Zhenguo University Hall. And the children of noble families like her, among them who have the potential of Zhenguo, not everyone is willing to enter the Zhenguo University Hall for further study.

Therefore, in the empire, there are really not a few young and strong people who have the potential to control the country.

She died of one Long Linghan, and a lot of descendants.

It was precisely because of this that Long Linghan couldn't imagine that Ying Si Riyue did so many tricks, and he actually wanted to kill her genius. Piggyback on the two merman geniuses who had been operating with her fleet.

This is the helplessness of the people of the great powers. As a person from a big country, sometimes it is really difficult to understand the mentality of people from a small country.

As an Imperial General, Long Linghan was aware of his country's potential, so he didn't take himself too seriously.

And people in small countries obviously don't see it that way.

For a general of a small country like Eagle Division Sun and Moon, a genius with the potential to be a strong man in the town country is already a big deal. Strangling an imperial genius is a great feat to boast about.

The thinking of the two sides is not at the same level at all, so it is inevitable that Long Linghan will let out a helpless sigh of "completely incomprehensible".

It was precisely because of this "incomprehensible" that Long Linghan was sure that this battle would be won after Li Qing killed the Nine Dragons Sword Saint.

Although on the surface, once the mermaids entered the battle, their side would be able to gain an overwhelming advantage, but the strange performance of the Amaterasu fleet still made Long Linghan unable to relax.

First of all, Isohime unexpectedly appeared, and then the unexpected appearance of the Nine Dragons Sword Saint, how many backhands are hidden in this unreasonable Amaterasu fleet?

Long Linghan stared at the flagship of the Eagle Division Sun and Moon, and muttered: "Eagle Division Sun and Moon, the Nine Dragons Sword Saint has been beheaded, and you should be released as the last winner, right?" ”

Eagle Division Sun and Moon are indeed ready to release the winner.

The death of the Nine Dragons Sword Saint made the face of the Eagle Division, who was originally an old god and confident, like ashes, and then jumped like thunder.

first broke Isohime, and then lost the Nine Dragons Sword Saint, paying such a big price, but only killed one of the two small targets, the big target Long Linghan and the other small target, and they are still alive and well.

If he can't complete the plan, then Yingsi Sun and Moon can fully imagine what kind of tragic fate awaits him, and even his family.

"Unleash the Meteor Burst Scroll!" Eagle Division Sun and Moon Tie had a blue face, the corners of his eyes kept beating, his eyes were bloodshot, and he almost roared at his adjutant: "Start the Dragon Slayer Cannon!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant instinctively agreed, and then asked cautiously, "Who to hit?" ”

"Hit whom? Who did the official hit, you ask? Yingsi Riyue jumped up violently, opened his bow left and right and slapped the adjutant back and forth with eight loud slaps, and beat the adjutant into a pig's head, then he gasped for breath, and roared with fire in his eyes: "Of course it's to fight Long Linghan, do you still need to ask?" Smash her ship with a meteor blast, then blast her to pieces with a dragon cannon! ”

The adjutant wanted to say that the current situation, the terrifying warrior who had broken his head and killed the Nine Dragons Sword Saint was even more dangerous, and the group of mermaids who were rushing towards the fleet were equally dangerous, enough to wipe out the fleet. But in the face of the furious Eagle Division Sun and Moon, the adjutant didn't dare to say a single superfluous word, so he only responded and trotted to give the order.

"Long Linghan!" Eagle Division Sun and Moon looked at the Shenglong from afar, gritted his teeth and said, "You must die!" If you don't die, you won't be able to live! ”

Having said that, but the Eagle Division Sun and Moon knew that the hope of killing Long Linghan was already very slim.

He was now forced to release the last two moves, Long Linghan didn't make any moves except for sending a hidden master, she definitely had a back hand.

Now, the Eagle Division Sun and Moon could only pray, and the back hand prepared by Long Linghan was not enough to block the combined attack of the meteor burst and the dragon slayer cannon.

In this way, he has the slightest hope of atonement to his crimes.

After Takaji Hizuki's order was delivered, the Amaterasukuni's flagship Kaicheng, ignored the bombardment of the two imperial warships next to it, turned sharply, and aimed its bow at the Thoryu. Then the bow deck cracked, and a huge bronze cannon rose from the breach, the muzzle of which was facing the Thang Long.

The bronze cannon was covered with mysterious patterns, and even the muzzle had strange patterns. Although the patterns are ornate and look like some kind of painting art, they give people a dangerous and terrible feeling.

When the bronze cannon rose from the deck, all the sailors on the deck of the Haicheng couldn't help but retreat, not daring to get close to the bronze cannon within three feet.

Several gunners, dressed in full-body armor and hiding their faces in black armor, walked towards the bronze cannon with heavy steps.

The bronze cannon was so striking and so abrupt that it attracted the attention of two Imperial warships not far away.

The guns of the two Imperial warships fired in bursts, and whoever could reach the bronze cannon aimed at the bronze cannon and bombarded it incessantly. At the same time, he continued to attack the black-armored gunner.

However, despite the extremely high hit rate of the Imperial battleship, more than a dozen shells hit the bronze cannon in succession. But the bronze cannon actually bounced all the cannons away, and it was unscathed. Even those black-armored gunners, on top of their black armor, had a layer of force field shield, and all the shells that hit them flew out of the air.

Soon, the gunners walked to the side of the bronze cannon, and after some manipulation, a trace of white light bloomed from the muzzle of the bronze cannon. There are even wisps of golden electric sparks, constantly flickering and beating in the muzzle of the gun.

When the white light and lightning flashed, a terrifying coercion spread out from the muzzle of the cannon, permeating the heavens and the earth.

And Long Linghan, who was aimed at by the cannon, immediately had a sense, squinted his eyes, and looked at the Haicheng from afar.

But at the same time, a red cloud of fire suddenly appeared in the sky above the Thang Long.

Immediately after, four huge meteors fell from the fire clouds, dragging their long flame tails, making a muffled thunderous sound of breaking through the sky, and crashing towards the Shenglong!

Seeing this scene, all the officers and men of the Imperial Fleet changed their faces drastically. And all the sailors of the Amaterasu fleet cheered in unison.

The sharks who were about to enter the battlefield were also stunned by these four meteors. Only Li Qing was completely unmoved, and rushed to the nearest third-class battleship.

"Meteor Burst!"

On the command platform of the Shenglong, Long Linghan's face turned pale, and he recognized this famous ninth-level magic in the Western Continent.

If those four meteors were hit, the Thang Long would inevitably disintegrate in an instant. All the officers and soldiers on the ship, including Scarlett and Ni Yuanyuan, who were also startled by these four meteors, will be wiped out and there will be no place to bury!

Even Long Linghan himself, if he can save his life, will be hit hard!

So Long Linghan didn't care about paying attention to the bronze cannon anymore, and quickly took out a cyan scale the size of a basin from the storage bag on his waist. She held the green scales in her left hand, shattered the iron glove in her right hand, bit the index finger of her right hand, and used blood as ink, and quickly wrote a spell on the blue scales.

Those charms look like a winding dragon, giving people a sense of agility, agility, atmosphere, and mystery. As she wrote, a divine and powerful aura permeated the cyan scales. A hazy blue light also bloomed from the scales, making the scales crystal clear, like carved green jade.

Long Linghan wrote extremely fast, and halfway through the meteor explosion, she had already written one hundred and eight spells. Then she threw the scales into the air and shouted: "Descendants call the spirit, please ancestral dragon!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the cyan scales burst into the sky, knocking holes in the sky with a bang. Immediately after, in the dark hole, a huge cyan dragon claw poked out, grabbing the four flaming meteors!
