In terms of power, the [Rocket Tower] clearly couldn't compare to the [Brilliant Saint Tower].
Though the latter had shocking damage and wide area of effect, its skill use consumed a great deal of energy.
Even when fully charged with solar and lunar energy, its skill usage was still quite limited, making it unsuitable for regular defense.
The [Rocket Tower] filled this gap perfectly.
Its rockets had considerable power, able to bombard a specified area with each shot.
Despite the effectiveness of the [Rocket Tower], the greatest surprise to Lin Yang after wiping out the ogre tribe was the special building obtained from killing the ogre lord— the [Talent Recruitment Hall]!
————
[Name]: Talent Recruitment Hall
[Level]: 1
[Function]: Attracts and recruits various talents to the Territory. (Recruitment consumes Energy Crystals)
Recruitment probability is closely related to Territory level, Talent Recruitment Hall level, and the Lord's own reputation.
[Introduction]: A special, extremely rare building dedicated to recruiting special talents.
————
Talents recruited through the [Talent Recruitment Hall] are neither Unit Types nor heroes—they are Sages!
Though they serve the Lord, they rarely participate in battles or fights—and generally have little combat experience.
Undoubtedly, the [Talent Recruitment Hall] was highly valuable.
Then, with a thought from Lin Yang, a three-story building with ancient elegance and intricate carvings materialized.
————
[Name]: Elite Talent Pavilion
[Type]: Talent Recruitment Hall
[Level]: 1
[Function]: Greatly increases the probability of attracting high-level and special talents to the Territory.
(Recruiting high-level or special talents requires large amounts of Energy Crystals; some also require special resources, fulfillment of certain wishes, or other special conditions.)
Recruitment probabilities depend on Territory level, Elite Talent Pavilion level, and the Lord's reputation level.
[Introduction]: A gathering of heroes! All the world's talents are within my grasp!
————
After evolving from the [Talent Recruitment Hall], the [Elite Talent Pavilion] significantly increased the chance of attracting advanced and special talents.
Though these talents won't assist Lin Yang or other Lords in combat, their contributions should never be underestimated.
Specialists skilled in cultivating Spirit Plants, artifact crafting experts, beast tamers, and more—these talents' contributions to Territory growth might even exceed that of a high-quality combat hero!
As for Yan Li…
Though a bona fide advanced alchemist summoned by Lin Yang through the [God and Demon Platform], she preferred alchemy to fighting.
However, anyone who provoked her would soon know the power of Solar True Fire.
"The chance to attract special talents is also tied to reputation, so I'll have to work on that."
After instantly upgrading the [Elite Talent Pavilion] to level five, Lin Yang mused thoughtfully.
……
Time flew by like a rushing river!
In the following days, Lin Yang's heroes and Unit Types continued to grow stronger, raising his personal level to 21.
During this period, thanks to the "Heavenly Evolution Pavilion" Wonder's "Evolution" effect, several of Ling Yue's core skills, such as [Sword Qi Condensation] and [Sword Light Differentiation], advanced by another level.
Their strength boosts reached an outrageous 220%!
This is the terrifying nature of breaking skill limits!
With only a four-level increase above max skill level, the power more than doubled!
If she could reach the tower limit of level 20 at the [Star Tower], the skill strength would soar to a terrifying 400%!
Of course, after hitting max skill level, the skill proficiency required to continue raising levels becomes astronomical.
Even raising from level 13 to 14 requires far more effort than raising from level 1 to 10 combined.
Without the "Heavenly Evolution Pavilion" Wonder's skill proficiency bonus, it's uncertain how long Ling Yue would take to break through to level 14.
……
[Special Announcement: All surviving Lords on Blue Star have reached level 5]
[The Thousand Zones Tournament officially begins]
That morning, all Lords woke to the pinned announcement in their chat groups, astonished.
Unlike the previous Abyss invasion which targeted only the Ancient Forest region's million Lords, this special announcement was issued simultaneously to hundreds of zones across Blue Star, covering billions of Lords!
"Heaven's Way is stirring trouble again?!"
"Not again?"
"I don't care anymore, I'm giving up. I've realized they just want us dead, so sooner or later, it's the same!"
"What is this? Some kind of cruel cultivation? Eliminating us in waves of crises?"
"Wait, there are still Lords only just hitting level 5? How have they survived so long?"
"Blind Monk, you found a highlight!"
"Look, the announcement says this event doesn't require deaths!"
"Hm? Let me see what it says."
While players in the Ancient Forest debated, Lin Yang finished breakfast and opened the related info.
[Event Details: The Thousand Zones Tournament, fight to be number one]
[All Lords across ten thousand zones are eligible to participate in this level sprint challenge]
[The top 100 Lords by final level will receive corresponding rich rewards based on their rank]
[The top 100 Lords' zones will gain powerful buff effects! (The higher the rank, the better the buff and the longer it lasts)]
[Participants: All Blue Star Lords]
