The number of three years, although Long Yi is nonsense, Long Yi also wants to buy more time for himself. Whether it's the construction of the Saint Armor cultivated by the soldiers of the two empires, or the research of the cosmic accelerator, or even Landers's research on anti-summoning, these things will take time. The last thing Long Yi is afraid of now is to go to war, because he will definitely win if he starts a war. But what about after winning, as long as he doesn't get the way to enter the middle plane in the end, then for Ryuichi he loses.

Ryuichi taught Irma a spell system that was a mixture of the spells of the White Dragon Empire and some giant spells, and Ryuichi carefully selected some knowledge that seemed complicated and could actually have a mana-boosting effect to teach Irma. Poor Irma had no idea how many detours he had taken to learn this, for he had always been immersed in the joy of his increasing abilities.

Yes, his strength has been increasing more than ever, and every day. This gave him great confidence, and in his opinion, it wouldn't be long before Ryuichi was no longer his opponent.

And while Ryuichi is playing the role of the Ascendant to teach Irma, he is also doing another thing, cultivating believers.

As his eldest apprentice, Simon took the initiative to promote the deeds of the Ascended on Ryuichi's behalf, almost gratefully. His strength, his tolerance. Soon, a group of believers was accumulated for him.

This time, however, there was no confusion inside.

The reason is simple, Ryuichi didn't arrange those who caused chaos at all.

Yes, those people back then. It was with the help of Sauls that influenced their minds. There is greed and ** hidden in the hearts of these people, and the God Chasers have infinitely magnified this greed and **. When magnified to a certain extent, these greeds and ** will dominate their actions.

Sauls hasn't been able to come in handy for a long time. So this time he worked very hard. Every detail has been rigorously planned to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and the final result is naturally commendable.

These believers began to spontaneously convey the concept to everyone around them: as long as you believe in the Ascendant, the Ascendant will be able to sense it, and you will be able to obtain the power of the Ascendant. At first, this statement was dismissed as nonsense by everyone, but then what happened next surprised everyone.

On this day, some believers preach the Ascended One, as usual. Some young people came up. He began to shout and shout at these believers. These young people's friends or relatives had been affected by the last chaos and were either seriously injured or killed. So they are hostile to the Ascendants

"You say that as long as you believe in the ascendant, you can gain power?" a young man asked.

"Yes, exactly. One believer said earnestly.

"Where, then, is your strength? Let me see?" the young man asked with a glare.

"Our faith is not enough. It's not enough to win the favor of the Ascendant. Only if the faith is strong enough, the consciousness of the Ascended Lord will naturally be with us. The believer said.

"Hahaha! It's nonsense! There are so many of you believers, but one of you has gained strength?"

"Of course! one of my brothers......"

"Shut up, you poor fool! You've been deceived! You've all been deceived! There aren't any ascendants at all! That's just a trick to deceive! It's Ryuichi's conspiracy!"

As soon as these words came out, the believers almost became angry. The mana is boiling, and in the blink of an eye, it is already tense.

But the leader stopped them.

"Calm down, my brothers. He is also our brother, and now he is just confused, when he awakens. He will surely repent of his disrespect for the Ascended One. The leader of the believers said slowly.

"Yes, have you noticed? We have more people than you, if we attack you now. Are you going to be running away, or are you honestly waiting for your non-existent Ascendant power to save you?"

Hearing the young man say this, the believers behind him became even more excited. But the believer in the lead slowly walked out and stopped the people behind him.

"I will bear all your injuries alone, and I will prove it to you with my faith. ”

Rumble!

As soon as he finished speaking, a spell missile had already landed on him.

"Brother, brother!"

The believers behind him were about to rush forward.

"Don't come here!" the believer stopped them, "My faith is invulnerable!"

More spells fell, and the believer stood still. Before he even opened the spell shield, his skin was already peeling open, and his flesh was covered in a blur of flesh and blood. But he still stood, staring firmly at the young man in front of him.

"I thought it would be great, but I was just an idiot. All kinds of spells thundered for a while, and the young man didn't dare to really make a fuss, so he stopped.

But at that moment, a red light suddenly appeared above the believer's body!

Suddenly, there was a sound like a bell ringing in the sky, and then a series of runes appeared from the bloody body. The wound healed in the blink of an eye, but the torn clothes burned to ashes in the flames. And the rune twisted, and it actually formed a magic robe formed purely by runes all over his body! The red light on the robe flickered and dimmed with his breathing.

"It's ...... The power of the Ascendant!My faith has been confessed by the Ascendant!" the believer shouted excitedly.

The energy emitted by the rune robe has far exceeded that of the young people in front of them who came to find trouble, and just facing this energy is full of pressure!

"Bastard! It's all a lie!"

The young man roared, and a powerful boom erupted. And at the moment when the spell hit the rune robe, the entire spell was immediately swallowed by the flickering of the rune robe, and almost at the same time, a deadly ray was launched in the same way. Before the young man could even react, a large hole appeared in his chest.

"Hey...... Why do you bother? The leader of the believers came over and cast a spell to stop the bleeding.

"The power of the Ascendant is far beyond your comprehension, and this time I changed the direction of the ray at the last moment. So I avoided your head, but I won't continue to do it next time. The majesty of the Ascendant is not to be provoked, remember that. ”

The young man was quickly sent away by his friends, but the sudden appearance of a miracle made it known to all: faith is power.

And it's still happening.

Later, Ryuichi gathered the first thirteen people, including Simon, in front of him and named them the Thirteen Apostles.

Yes, that's what Ryuichi is for.

Naturally, these thirteen people were not randomly searched, but all of them were personally selected by Thors, and this is the thirteen people who will spread his will throughout the Ancient Mage Tower on behalf of the Ascendant.

Irma had known about these things for a long time, but he had completely ignored them. In his opinion, this was all the bad taste of the old man of the Ascendant. He can do whatever he likes, as long as he can be strong.

Yes, Irma has really become stronger, and he doesn't need any reference comparisons at all, he can feel his own strength.

"I think that now you can fight a little bit with one of Xiao Zi's clones. ”

On this day, Ryuichi, who played the role of the Ascendant, suddenly said to Irma.

"Just a clone of Xiao Zi?" said Irma, slightly dissatisfied. Xiao Zi is Long Yi's maid and a contract servant, and her clone can still be so strong?

"Yes, it seems to me that you are so strong that I think you are only capable of fighting, but it is very difficult to win. Long Yi said.

"Hehe, teacher, you look down on your students. "Now Irma presents herself as a student of the Ascended One, and a higher being beyond the Thirteen Apostles.

"Don't underestimate one of Xiao Zi's clones, if the power of that clone all explodes......" Long Yi didn't finish his words, this is called leaving room for imagination.

"It's a pity that I don't have a chance, if I have the opportunity, I must prove my strength to you, teacher. Not to mention that it is a doppelganger of Xiao Zi, even if Xiao Zi comes here, she may not be my opponent. Irma said.

At this time, Irma can truly feel her own strength. But he was not too arrogant enough to put himself in the position of Long Yi, after all, Long Yi was already so powerful that he was not at the same level as him.

"Opportunity, I can help you find it. But if you don't deal with it carefully, death will soon befall you. ”

Long Yi said.

"Teacher, do you mean that you have a way for me to fight them?" Irma asked in surprise.

"Yes, but it's up to you. Because even if it's just a banshee clone of Xiao Zi, it still means that it is a powerful combat power!"

"Let me go, teacher, I'll prove to you my strength!" said Irma excitedly.

Ryuichi thinks that if it's just such boring study, Irma will soon get bored. So he set up such a link to boost Irma's morale a little. Long Yi's method was actually simple and crude, not long ago, Xiao Zi sent three banshee clones to the Astral Gladiatorial Arena to participate in the competition in their personal name. In the name of improving actual combat experience -- of course, the effect is still good. After all, these banshee clones were just delicate girls at the beginning, and after becoming banshees, they only relied on the instinct of banshees to hurt people, and their own combat strength was extremely limited. Xiao Zi learned a lot of combat knowledge from Ryuichi, and this knowledge can be obtained by the banshees through sharing, but it takes a process to apply this knowledge to actual combat.

And now, participation in the gladiatorial arena is precisely these processes. (To be continued......)
