Shen Xuan rummaged through his feathers.
It was ridiculous—things he just put in were so hard to find!
He couldn't imagine what it'd be like when item quantity increased and he needed to find specific things.
After a minute, he finally retrieved the rhombus shard.
"The second Light Shard..."
Shen Xuan smiled, using the system to absorb the pure light energy inside.
As the process advanced, strands of pure energy were drawn out, orderly spreading through every bone and muscle.
His four-winged feathers trembled again, heart burning!
Light substances boiled within!
Every strand of pure energy steadily raised all his attributes.
After a long while ~ the last energy strand was absorbed, and the rhombus gem lost all its luster, becoming a useless ornament.
At this time, opening his attribute panel with the Light Shard's 600% bonus, his basic four-dimensional stats had surged from around 2200 to about 3300!
"With current stats, lighting The Wings of the Holy Flame to 13,000 is enough for most situations!"
Shen Xuan flapped his wings in midair, circling the lake in flight.
At his current daily sunlight absorption speed, by the academy competition in half a month, he estimated his level would reach above fifty.
The higher the level, the stronger the base attribute increases per level!
By month's end, Shen Xuan predicted his normal combat power would exceed 7000+ in four dimensions, not including any possible Eternal Flame absorption.
"Sunset Forest currently has no more light-type divine treasures."
"The only upgrade now is to promote the territory to rank 3, unlocking six wings..."
Thinking this, Shen Xuan leisurely flew back while basking in the sunlight.
The tier three territory requirements were just 20 more command points and a tier three territory core.
Those shouldn't be hard to get—they could be obtained through ranking battles or 30-level Secret Realms.
With some luck, the existing Luminescent Secret Realm might spawn them.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Shen Xuan's eyes blazed white-hot flames, locking onto a sneaky figure in the forest below.
The figure blended perfectly into the environment, clearly using high-level stealth skills!
But under Light Eye's scan, no concealment could hide!
[Forbidden Spirit Guard]
Level: 70
Quality: Epic (S)
Race: Elemental
Constitution: 1980
Strength: 2100
Agility: 2250
Spirit: 2250
Skills: ...
Note: SSS-Tier troop, specializes in covert assassination and protection missions.
"SSS-Tier troop? Who sent them?"
Shen Xuan was curious.
The forest perimeter was heavily guarded by academy troops!
He had scouted for light-type divine treasures a few days ago, even seeing patrolling SSS-Tier heroes above level 80.
Logically, even with their stealth, these gaseous elementals shouldn't sneak into the forest unnoticed under guard watch.
"Looking at their path, they seem to be heading toward Little Lord's location!"
Shen Xuan followed behind, wanting to see what they were up to.
Soon, an illusionary territory cloaked by mist devices came into view.
The elemental troops seemed well prepared, dispersing in all directions.
About three kilometers from the territory, they vigilantly guarded their perimeter.
They didn't notice a four-winged angel tailing them for a long time above.
"Information compromised."
"Has someone been sent to secretly protect Su Qingxue...?"
Shen Xuan pondered.
This troop numbered about 3000, with decent strength.
In Dragon Star, this was elite combat power!
Besides the eight god-level Guardians, no one else could mobilize so many level 70 units at once!
Semi-god lords usually commanded only a few hundred level 70 troops.
Knowing they meant no harm, Shen Xuan fluttered his wings and sped back to his territory.
"This target is highly valued by Spirit Pearl Guardian—do not slack off!"
"Any unknown creatures entering the guarded zone must be killed on sight!"
A Forbidden Spirit Guard commander took the communication device sternly:
"The plan lasts until the competition at month's end—be fully alert!"
"Squad 1 received!"
"Squad 2 received!"
"..."
The 3000-strong bodyguard army, completely outclassing others in attributes, didn't detect the four-winged angel above.
...
"Look, that's our Qingxuan Territory's first hero, Shigami Yele, also known as Shen Xuan!"
Su Qingxue pointed upward at the descending white-winged figure, patiently introducing him to the nearby heroes.
"Qingxuan Territory?"
Shen Xuan twitched his mouth—first time hearing the territory named.
Good grief, she took the liberty of using his name without consulting him!
"Shigami Lord!"
A slender girl clad in light green tight leather armor bowed.
Her long green hair flowed down her back, appearing about seventeen or eighteen, beautiful with sharp, fierce eyes.
Her long slender ears proved she was a pure-blooded elven hero.
"Shen Xuan, this is our new teammate!"
Su Qingxue ran up, affectionately grabbed Shen Xuan's palm, and introduced the girl, "Belia, an elf ~ skilled in ranged shooting and jungle warfare!"
"Oh, Belia..."
Shen Xuan nodded slightly, "Not bad, not bad!"
According to the encyclopedia, elves were known for health and wellness expertise—now he had a chance to test that claim.
"Shigami Lord, pleased to meet you!"
Belia's gem-like blue eyes sparkled with awe.
The lord had said, this angel hero before her possessed immense strength!
At first, she didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just courtesy from the lord... But when Shen Xuan stood in front of her, she sensed the overwhelming pressure he radiated and gave up competing for the strongest hero!
He was like a mountain—just standing there, and she couldn't surpass him!
More importantly... she almost fell for Shigami Lord's handsome face at a glance.
Too handsome!
Serving the same lord as Shigami Lord was truly her fortune!
"Shen Xuan's resting today; starting tomorrow, Belia will join us to kill monsters and level up!"
Su Qingxue loosened her grip on the angel's right hand and pondered, "Get familiar with the territory environment first; before nightfall, I'll build a separate house for you."
"Killing monsters and leveling up?"
Belia was momentarily confused.
To increase strength, wasn't it all about absorbing Energy Cores?
"You'll know tomorrow."
Su Qingxue smiled mysteriously, secretly glancing at the indifferent four-winged angel Shen Xuan.
She continued, "Next, I'll handle the Newborn Grand Competition qualifiers; you're free to do as you please!"
Hearing this, the always silent Shen Xuan finally smiled.
It's starting ~
