After all these delays, Austin was getting closer to returning to his mansion. Austin didn't bother Gadlin, and when he passed by Davix's door, he felt a faint source force fluctuation coming from inside, knowing that he was cultivating and was probably adapting to his new ability.

After this battle, Davix and he both ignited a lot of nodes, and if his own nodes were fully invested, he would be able to develop another fourth-order ability, and Davix should get no less than him. The speed of igniting nodes in this way is many times faster than relying on meditation to improve the source power to impact.

Fighting is always the fastest way to improve your strength.

However, there are also huge risks to the body. Austin unzipped his black combat suit, not wearing a tight tactical vest as before, and the dense white bandages almost wrapped around him. Fortunately, as a high-risk department, the level of medical care and equipment are at the top of the dynasty, and after the ointment is attached to the wound, there is almost no pain, which does not affect the action, and can even withstand the fluctuations of the source power in his body.

This time I was lucky, although I was covered with bruises, none of the bones were broken, and although the internal organs were subjected to a lot of concussions, there was not much damage, otherwise even if I had top-notch medical technology, I would have to lie on the hospital bed for a while.

Austin sat in the study and poured himself a small glass of "High Noon", savoring the burning taste that he hadn't felt for a long time.

At the moment of closing his eyes, Austin inadvertently sank his consciousness into his body, and counted carefully, twelve nodes had been ignited in his body, and after developing a new fourth-order ability of the fighting system, there would still be a surplus.

Or accumulate four more and try to impact the fifth-order power?, this thought flashed through Austin's heart, and he thought about it and gave up.

The ability development path of different departments is different, such as the fighting system, the most basic strength, defense, agility, etc. need to be invested in the node to improve step by step, and after reaching a certain tacit understanding with each other, new abilities will be combined from the foundation, such as Austin, which is now the fourth-order strength, fourth-order agility and third-order defense, and some third-order and second-order coordination abilities, such as powerful heavy attacks, force concussions, etc.

The elemental system is different, the ability only needs to develop the most basic first-order flame, first-order freeze, etc., and then develop a vein alone, and can obtain derivative abilities in the second order.

This is also the reason why the fighting system is more solid and comprehensive, and the elemental system is powerful but has a single means, and it is easy to be restrained by another attribute.

Gradually, most of the supernatural people have formed a development path that majors in combat or supplemented by elemental, spiritual and armed systems, which is a path formed by countless generations of exploration, avoiding the situation of too mixed or weak abilities.

Of course, there are some outliers, such as Orwenlai, who majored in psychiatry, and can only be used as a combat auxiliary.

Austin looked at the bright nodes in his body, and suddenly became a little entangled, although he shelved the idea of simply advancing the fifth-order source power, but how to distribute these nodes made him a little difficult.

To be honest, before he acted, he thought that this operation would be relatively simple, but it was an unexpected bloody battle that ignited so many nodes for himself.

After a while, Austin quickly made a decision, and the eight nodes were quickly raised, like a meteor dragging a long tail flame, outlining something like a rune in his consciousness. To Austin's surprise, the model he sketched this time looked extremely large, and the more this happened, the more likely it was to develop a powerful ability.

Each time a new ability is formed, the ability can control the direction of the formation, but the specific ability formed is random, closely related to talent and luck.

The remaining four nodes Austin were all thrown into the armed system, and Austin didn't care too much about what third-order abilities were formed. The armed system strengthens the individual's mastery of weapons and machinery, and whatever is developed, it is of great importance to those in the ranks.

Austin's talent in the spirit department is mediocre, and the element department is a mess, so he didn't waste too many nodes to improve, and only developed the ability to explore in the spirit department. And after the formation of the blue pupil of his right eye, Austin did not dare to develop more in the elemental system, God knows if there will be any ability to clash with the blue flame?

After a while, the new runes in his body finally condensed, and turned into a little starlight to dissipate into Austin's sea of consciousness.

The fourth-order ability of the fighting system is extremely fast thrusting, including the ability to accelerate instantaneously within ten meters and a certain ability to break defenses, which is a bonus to strength and agility, and at the same time has certain requirements for the body's defense ability, which can withstand the load brought by instantaneous acceleration.

Very practical ability, which gives Austin an extremely strong explosive power. Although this ability is not as good as Crescent Moon Slash, which can bring mid-range attacks and large-scale lethality to fighters, this ability is the first to break through the face and kill first.

After a while, the ability of the armed system was gradually formed, "Heavy Front", which emits an effect similar to that of a heavy attack when using a cold weapon, and comes with breaking defenses. Surprisingly, this ability will definitely form a "sharp bullet" at the fourth level, which can add defense-breaking and tearing effects to ordinary bullets, which is one of the favorite abilities of army snipers.

Austin was extremely satisfied with the ability to develop today, and when he opened his eyes, there was a joy in his eyes that could not be concealed. If this continues, you can major in melee combat such as explosion and instant kill. Defining goals in advance is extremely beneficial for the sixth-order selection, and this is also the direction that Austin prefers.

Austin took a nap in his study and woke up at half-past seven in the morning. Opening the door and walking to the dining room, Davix was eating, and Gadlin stood aside arranging the affairs of the servant's maid for the day.

Suddenly seeing Austin come to the restaurant, everyone was startled, only Davix, who had a keen perception, greeted Austin calmly.

After breakfast in a cheerful mood, Austin and Davix went to the main operations building. He had just reviewed the two pension checklists handed in by his subordinates when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in. ”

"Lord Austin," appeared at the door was the beautiful confidential secretary next to Von Lantlin, with a professional smile on his face, and his eyes that could charm people did not squint at this time, staring straight ahead, not daring to look at Austin at all, "Lord von Lantlin asked you to go over immediately, you see ......"

"Got it, go over right away. ”

Out of the corner of his eye, Austin put down the papers, and the confidential secretary quickly closed the door and left. Her charm had no effect on Austen, and she had even been countered by the impact of his cold-blooded temperament, and now she regarded Austin like a tiger.

Moments later, Austin pushed open the door to von Lantlin.

"My lord, what are you looking for me?"

"Come and sit. Von Lantrin casually pointed to the sofa opposite.

There were two documents on the couch, and Austin picked them up, one of which was the official document of his promotion to baron, and the other was a commendation for his operation.

"First of all, congratulations. The loss was a bit heavy, but the results were remarkable, and the announcement of your promotion to baron has been officially issued, and this is a commendation order from above. The document of this commendation order is a pile of waste paper, and you can take the last piece of paper to the logistics office to receive 300 gold coins. ”

Austin had no sadness or joy on his face, thinking about his brothers whose bones had not been buried, and there was still a trace of emotion in his heart. A piece of order, a piece of commendation, three hundred gold coins, and dozens of lives were left in the wilderness.

Von Lantrin ignored Austin's distraction, and said to himself: "You have made great contributions, and now you are officially a nobleman, I have an idea, you can see if you agree." ”

"What's the idea?" Austin asked, coming back to his senses. Von Lantlin has respected Austin's opinion in arranging things for so many years, and it is not surprising to hear such a question.

"Although you have the title of executive now, you have never had your own department, and you have always followed me to do things. I want to give you one of my men now, what do you think?"
