The sky clears, illuminating the muddy earth after the flood waters receded.

People walked out of the shelter and stood in the devastated city of Pengcheng and looked up, their faces reflected in the sun, and hope rekindled in their eyes.

Lin Xiao, the martial arts star of Zhongzhou, the strongest man in the world, the hero-like heavy sword man.

He killed Chiyou, saved Pengcheng, and saved countless lives.

And similar deeds have happened many times.

If you want to evaluate the epee in short words, it is undoubtedly "legendary".

At the end of the post-war meeting, Lin Xiao was standing on the high ground outside the city looking at Pengcheng, and Jolena's soft voice came from behind her.

"Thinking about something?"

"I'm thinking that Seth saved us a lot of trouble by taking away Chiyou's wreckage." Lin Xiao looked at the land after being corroded by dirty blood, "For example, find a place to bury Chiyou or something." ”

"You don't worry about Chi You coming back, but you think it's very convenient."

Jolena walked to Lin Xiao's side, put her right hand on her waist, looked into the distance with him, and said in a nasal voice: "Hmm...... Sure enough, it's you. ”

"You look like you've seen me through."

"I've lent you all my 'eyes', and of course I can see you clearly." Jolena said calmly.

"And what did you see?" Lin Xiao was interested.

Jolene glanced at Lin Xiao: "Sometimes it's too naïve, sometimes it's like a savior." ”

"It doesn't sound like a good word."

"Indeed, I did not praise you." The corners of Jolena's mouth lifted slightly, "But overall, a trustworthy person." ”

"Do you believe in other people's personalities?" Lin Xiao was a little surprised.

Jolena turned her head and raised her bright, jewel-like eyes, with extreme seriousness: "No one else will, unless it's you." ”

She is tall and tall, still more than ten centimeters shorter than Lin Xiao, but her aura is like a queen who refuses to bow her head, and the red childish eyes on the cheeks of melon seeds reflect Lin Xiao's figure.

"I'm not trustworthy." Lin Xiao looked away, "Or ...... I don't want to be expected of others. ”

"I just want to do what I'm willing to do and that's it." Lin Xiao said.

"Why?" Jolena looked into the distance, her horse's tail swaying in the wind, "Isn't it good to be admired and watched like a hero?" ”

"As I said, whether it's killing Chiyou or saving Pengcheng, it's not for 'it's good to do this', but 'I want to do this'." Lin Xiao said, "The materials I got are enough for my trip...... It doesn't matter if a hero is a hero or something. ”

Jolena spoke up: "It doesn't matter if you are scorned or insulted? ”

"I like a saying very much, called 'a hero who is driven by interest', and to put it to this point, it is out of interest that I saved Pengcheng......"

Lin Xiao paused for a moment, didn't say anything, and smiled calmly: "I always don't care. ”

Jolena pursed her lips and said, "Do you know the story of Shakyamuni?" ”

"Why did you suddenly change to such a spicy topic?" Lin Xiao complained.

Jolene ignored it and said to herself, "Shakyamuni was originally a prince, but one day he suddenly abandoned his wealth and power in the world to save the low-level people who were regarded as filthy untouchables. People called him the 'Enlightened One' and believed that he suddenly became enlightened on that day and was willing to experience the sufferings of the world. ”

"But I think that the salvation of humanity by the 'Enlightened One' is not out of man's prayer for a savior, but because of ...... He wanted to do it himself. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That means to say-" Jolena suddenly raised her voice, raised her fist and pounded Lin Xiao's chest, "The ninth order is not impossible for you!" You zero! ”

"Zero?" Lin Xiao understood and retorted: "My sexual orientation is normal, otherwise I wouldn't have confessed to you." ”

Jolena's tone changed slightly: "Confession, white, when is it." ”

"That café before you go to Sharo." Lin Xiao frowned, "Buster remembers, have you forgotten?" ”

"I ...... That's too informal. Jolene turned and said, "Besides, I haven't said yes yet." ”

Lin Xiao grabbed her hand and said unhappily: "Then you have to at least give an answer, and I won't be sentimental anymore." ”

Like a home run flying outside the open-air baseball field, Jolena's body seemed to be immobilized, and she repeated Lin Xiao's words in her head.

No, I actually ...... for a long time

She turned slowly, her cheeks flushed slightly, as if she had made up her mind.

"The answer is—"

Jolena raised her gaze, stared at Lin Xiao, nodded her head vigorously and resolutely, her cheeks turned red, and she cast her gaze on the wrist that was being pulled.

"What's that...... I didn't mean to force you. Lin Xiao let go of his hand and bowed his head sincerely: "Cough, in short, I'm very sorry." ”

"It's okay." Jolene moved her wrist and said lightly, "I ...... I don't mind if you are tough. ”

"Yes." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Jolena's heart pounded, and she slurred awkwardly: "Don't laugh at such a time......"

Lin Xiao restrained his smile and said slowly, "Advancing to the ninth rank will be a long and difficult journey. ”

"But I think it's a lot easier to have you by your side." Lin Xiao said seriously.

"The hopeless straight man speaks." Jolene smiled, "But I don't care. ”

"Your Excellency Lin Xiao—"

Jiang Shang's call came from behind, "Let's discuss the way to reforge Jiuding!" ”

The recasting of Jiuding is related to the material for the promotion of the Falling Star Sword to the ninth order.

Lin Xiao set her eyes on Jolena.

"Go ahead." Jolena's face was calm and she whispered, "You ...... zero"

Lin Xiao turned around and walked away for a while, thinking about whether it was time to prove himself tonight, when he caught a glimpse of a stray wild cat and beckoned:

"Buster, what do you mean by Zero?"

The stray cat was silent for a moment, blue light appeared under its eyes, and a mocking female voice sounded:

"It's the zeros in the tarot, idiot."

"Insulting people."

"Because the number zero in the tarot card is the most important big Arcana card, called 'Fool'."

Buster's tone was calm, and his heart moved slightly.

The 22 Great Arcana cards of the tarot tell the story of a fool who goes through a complete journey to become a magician.

For Lin Xiao, if he can have enough heart.

Maybe you can really get through this journey and become the 'magician' in the tarot, that is, ...... Become a god.

……

After negotiation, Lin Xiao decided to temporarily hand over Jiuding to Jiang Shang, and entrusted the Zhongzhou Alliance to recast Jiuding into materials and return it to himself.

Among today's human beings, only Lin Xiao is qualified to spy on the laws of the ninth order, and he also holds the position of Wuqu Xing, so he is not worried that Jiuding will be swallowed privately.

In addition, due to Lin Xiao's outstanding performance in the Battle of Pengcheng, the Middle-earth Alliance decided to let him choose his favorite cards as a reward for this trip.

Because Daifuku had obtained a legacy related to the Apollo harp, Lin Xiao said that he needed materials related to Apollo, the god of light.

Eighth-order materials like the 'Philosopher's Stone' are naturally very rare, but with the background of Middle-earth, it is still easy to find seventh-order materials.

The day after the Battle of Pengcheng ended, Lin Xiao received two seventh-order materials from Jiang Shang personally: "Apollo's Silver Arrow Missed" and "Bright Laurel".

Apollo, as the god of light, often appears in myths and legends in the form of golden bows and silver arrows.

The laurel tree is a representative of Apollo, and it was a custom that poets in Crete held poetry meetings under the laurel tree, and the winner wore a laurel wreath on his head, and was awarded the 'poet laureate'.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

These two materials contain the light power of Apollo and can further enhance the potential of Daifuku.

Breaking through the seventh order is naturally not a problem, and it is expected that its quality will be improved again, or even evolve twice.

After that, the process was logical, Lin Xiao opened the card master's guide and used the materials he had just arrived to make a breakthrough for Daifuku.

The seven-stringed harp held by Daifuku has a dull appearance that goes from dull to glowing, and Daifuku's rank is improved.

[Breakthrough Success! This breakthrough unlocks: Finishing Move: Leopard Kill! 】

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched: "What kind of strange finishing technique name is this......"

Thinking of Dafu's incompatible painting style, those move names with the word 'leopard', this finishing move doesn't seem so strange.

Let's look at the effect.

"Finishing Technique: Leopard Kill: Uses the whole body's source power to deliver a fatal blow. 100% Critical Hit deals 150% Multiplier Critical Damage, with a small chance of dealing 300% Multiplier Critical Damage. The critical damage multiplier for critical hits will be increased again. (Explosion ☆ Kill!) ）』

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned.

That's really ...... Unpretentious and perverted finishing moves.

As we all know, critical hits and critical injuries are extremely noble attributes in any game. And Daifuku's finishing technique can be guaranteed to be critical, and even the critical damage multiplier can be increased.

What does this mean? Daifuku is simply a victim of the 'God of Critical Hits'...... If there is such a god.

Moreover, with the crit effect, even if Daifuku first enters the seventh order, he can fight against the best of the seventh order.

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin: "The reward for the Battle of Pengcheng...... Sure enough, it wasn't taken for nothing. ”

In fact, in the Battle of Pengcheng, in addition to the Jiuding weapon after Chi You fell, there was also a crucial material, but Lin Xiao was embarrassed to ask for it.

That is, the half of Ying Long's wings that were torn off by Chi You-

As the number one powerhouse in the dragon clan, Ying Long is distinguished from other Middle-earth dragons by his wings. And the wings of the dragon are undoubtedly the top material.

After Daifuku broke through the Seventh Order, Lin Xiao thought that Daifuku had established a connection with the Ice Dragon in addition to the God of Light.

Ying Long's materials may also be suitable for Daifuku and strengthen the dragon power on it.

Subsequently, Lin Xiao tactfully expressed his request to Jiang Shang, and to his surprise, Jiang Shang generously expressed his willingness to hand over the "Wings of the Dragon" to Lin Xiao.

"To increase your strength is to strengthen Middle-earth's strength against foreign enemies." Jiang Shang smiled and said, "Senior Ying Long, as the guardian god of war in Zhongzhou, I believe it will not be strange. ”

Lin Xiao secretly complained to herself, Ying Long's strength has dropped greatly because of his separation from the Golden Dragon Zhenjun, so I will say another thing if I remember to hold a grudge......

However, the "Wings of the Dragon" still has to be accepted.

It is not only to consolidate the Daifuku who has just broken through the seventh order, but also to strive for the opportunity for the second evolution.

After the "Ying Dragon Wings" arrived, Lin Xiao strengthened Daifuku in batches to facilitate Daifuku to fully absorb the "Ying Dragon Wings".

When the last particles of light fall into Daifuku's body, the body of the baby seal blooms with a brilliant light of evolution.

The five-clawed golden dragon is the descendant of Ying Long and the symbol of the emperors of the past dynasties.

After the evolution, Daifuku has almost no difference in appearance except for the change in the name of the card, but the aura is obviously different, and the quality has also been improved.

[Card Name: Emperor Seal]

[Quality: Golden Legend]

[Rank: 7th Order]

[Moves: Lucky, round and rolling, leopard through the wind and frost, leopard jumping like thunder, leopard headache crying, hitting leopard belly, leopard killing. 】

[Special Ability: Power of Light, Pressure of the Dragon]

[Item: Apollo Harp (Amplify the Power of Light)]

Lin Xiao browsed the card data after Daifuku's evolution, and her mood was delicate.

It is worthy of being cultivated with Yinglong materials, a legendary-level seal...... It's violent!

"The next game of the World Series is just the right time for Daifuku to play." Lin Xiao pondered: "After bothering to defeat Chiyou, it's time to play some lighter games." ”

……

During the round of 16 of the World Series, a small change occurred - Chiyou woke up.

As a result, the event was forced to be cancelled until the crisis was resolved, and the schedule was resumed.

However, compared to Chiyou's current world, the World Series seems to be insignificant, so countries are paying close attention to Chiyou's movements.

However, in just one day, Chi You's figure completely disappeared from the land of Middle-earth.

There are only a few videos on the Internet that show footage of the battle.

The last scene in the picture is the heavy swordsman with his sword hanging behind his back, with his back to the burning wreckage of Chiyou.

There was no uproar, no shock, and the major powers just went silent unexpectedly, going on with the process of the World Series as usual.

But the turmoil in the hearts of the strongest people in each country is known only to them.

In the glorious country, Charlie, the 'King of Ambition', repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the video to the assistant minister, and was at a loss after learning the truth.

In the Northlands, Emperor Augustus was completely unable to sleep, rubbing the Kungunir spear on his knees, depressed in his chest, as if there was a mountain in front of him.

In the country of Central Continent, Jiang Shangle continued to fish. He wished that Lin Xiao would take his place and enjoy the mountains and rivers by himself.

However, Jiang Shang could see that Lin Xiao only joined the Middle-earth Alliance out of interest, and being in a high position was also a constraint for him.

But this mentality ...... Perhaps it is one of the reasons why Lin Xiao can take the lead in spying on the "law".

In the round of 16, Lin Xiao's original opponent was 'Breaking Army Star' Lu Lingqiu, but she was seriously injured in the Battle of Pengcheng.

Lu Lingqiu also knew that he had no chance of winning in the face of Lord Wuqu Xing, so it was better to quit and recuperate with peace of mind.

Therefore, Lin Xiao advanced to the quarterfinals and competed for the semi-finals with Charlie, the 'King of Ambition', who was the first to advance.

According to the little secretary's pre-match investigation, Charlie's version is still at the peak of the seventh order, and it has not even reached the threshold of the Holy Domain, and at most he can only use finishing skills.

Lin Xiao: "What age is it, and you are still using traditional finishing techniques." ”

Sigrid sighed and said, "You think everyone is just like you, a monster that scares the demon gods." ”

The duel with Charlie, the 'King of Ambition', is secondary.

Tracking down the whereabouts of the evil god Seth, as well as investigating the intelligence of the immortal bones, are Lin Xiao's top priorities at the moment.

In addition, perhaps because he had burned Chi You's remains with source power, Lin Xiao accidentally found that the fire was contaminated with a strange aura.

But this breath is not threatening, but it is very beneficial to itself.

Lin Xiao called this breath 'Chiyou Power'.

By using the power of Chiyou, you can enter an effect similar to 'madness', and the level is a notch stronger than that of 'Rage Force'.

The 'Power of Chiyou' can even attach to the surface of the weapon and enhance the output of the weapon, which is thought to be related to the law of 'forging' that Chiyou has mastered.

The law is bound to be the embodiment of a certain concept or ability applied to the extreme.

The metaphysical saying is 'three thousand avenues', and a law is one of the corresponding roads.

It can be said that the strength or weakness of ninth-order life is closely related to the law. Chiyou's law of 'war' is to be stronger than the law of most gods.

Lin Xiao stared at the Falling Star Sword and fell into deep thought.

"If you really want to be promoted to the ninth order, you have to think carefully about what kind of law you want to master......"
