Xiaoruan said, "I've understood the Power of Myriad Phases and the Devastation Burst."

Li Cunxu excitedly said, "Great skills."

The Power of Myriad Phases, a king-level skill, can temporarily enhance any attribute skill, amplifying its power tenfold.

Xiaoruan's strongest defense skill is the evolving Metal Armor. When the Power of Myriad Phases enhances the Metal Armor, its already impressive defense becomes ten times stronger. Who could break through that!

Unless a mid-level lord-class pet beast comes, otherwise it wouldn't even scratch the defense.

Of course, such a powerful skill also has its limitations.

Limitation one: It has a huge energy consumption, comparable to using a trump card skill.

But for Xiaoruan, it's not an issue; its spiritual energy is immense.

Limitation two: You can only enhance one skill at a time, not two simultaneously.

Each level of proficiency in the Power of Myriad Phases adds another fold to the enhancement.

Mastery at the introductory level is tenfold.

Mastery at the proficient level is elevenfold.

...

The second breakthrough is fifteenfold.

The Devastation Burst, a king-level skill, fuses different elemental bombs together, and when it hits the enemy, it causes an extreme explosion.

The most impressive part is that the Power of Myriad Phases and the Devastation Burst can be combined. The Devastation Burst on its own is already formidable, and at tenfold power, Li Cunxu couldn't think of anyone who could withstand it at the gold level.

With the Devastation Burst at tenfold power, even a low-level lord could be instantly killed.

"And you? Little White Spider."

Little White Spider said, "I've mastered the Ten Thousand Spiders' Net, Ten Thousand Spider Bites, Spiritual Ten Thousand Spiders, and the Ten Thousand Spider Seal."

Li Cunxu happily said, "You mastered four, not bad at all, and they're all combinable combo skills."

The Ten Thousand Spiders' Net, an overlord-level skill, uses spiritual energy to conjure illusory little spiders that can weave nets everywhere. The nets, called the Ten Thousand Spider Net, can siphon off surrounding spiritual energy and use it to repair themselves by forming illusory little spiders.

If the Ten Thousand Spider Net catches an enemy, it will siphon the enemy's spiritual energy to repair itself.

If an enemy steps on the Ten Thousand Spider Net, their speed decreases.

Ten Thousand Spider Bites, an overlord-level skill, uses spiritual energy to conjure illusory poisonous little spiders. These spiders bite enemies and inject various toxins into them.

The biggest advantage of this skill is its low energy consumption.

Conjuring a single illusory poisonous spider consumes just a little spiritual energy, and conjuring tens of thousands doesn't consume much either.

The combo effect of Ten Thousand Spider Bites and Ten Thousand Spiders' Net is twofold.

First: Speed up, the illusory poisonous spiders move faster on the Ten Thousand Spider Net, so fast they leave afterimages.

The Ten Thousand Spider Net slows the enemy while speeding up the poisonous spiders—this difference makes it almost impossible for a pet beast to evade.

Second: Reduced spiritual consumption, if an illusory poisonous spider dies on the Ten Thousand Spider Net, the Net can use the absorbed spiritual energy to revive it.

The Spiritual Ten Thousand Spiders, an overlord-level skill, has effects similar to Ten Thousand Spider Bites. It also conjures little illusory spiders, but these are invisible as they inflict mental damage.

However, if the opponent has a spiritual-type pet beast, they can see the spiritual little spiders.

This skill has an unfortunate drawback: Beast Masters train in spiritual power, and being spiritual power masters, the invisibility of spiritual spiders is ineffective against their spiritual perception.

The combo effect of Spiritual Ten Thousand Spiders with the Ten Thousand Spider Net is similar to that of the Ten Thousand Spider Bites.

Accelerate the spiritual little spiders and revive them.

The Ten Thousand Spider Seal, a king-level skill, delivers a deadly attack after being bitten by spiders ten thousand times.

For instance, if an enemy is bitten ten thousand times by spiders, Little White Spider can unleash the Ten Thousand Spider Seal. This seemingly harmless attack, which can't even break glass, can instantly kill the enemy.

The Ten Thousand Spider Seal has incredible killing power; it's a guaranteed kill without any resistance allowed. But the release conditions are stringent: it must be bitten ten thousand times, not one less—even nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine bites won't activate it.

An enemy isn't a fool and wouldn't just stand still to let Little White Spider accumulate ten thousand bites.

Moreover, if the enemy is one tier stronger than Little White Spider, it requires one hundred thousand bites; if two tiers stronger, the skill is ineffective.

A gold-level Little White Spider requires ten thousand bites for gold-level opponents and one hundred thousand for lord-level; it's ineffective against overlords.

The combo effect of Ten Thousand Spider Bites, Spiritual Ten Thousand Spiders, and the Ten Thousand Spider Seal: bites from the illusory poisonous spiders and spiritual spiders count towards the ten thousand bites needed for the Ten Thousand Spider Seal.

The combo effect of Ten Thousand Spiders' Net and the Ten Thousand Spider Seal: Once the Ten Thousand bites are accumulated and activated, if the opponent is inside the range of the Ten Thousand Spider Net, they will be paralyzed and can't dodge the attack.

"Such an overwhelming change in power!"

Li Cunxu spoke briefly to the Mud Dragon before putting on the Fifth Day Mask and activated the Sunset Return to go back to their cabin at Tongdu Ranch.

The Mud Dragon is now the steward of Bengma Island, and with Li Cunxu leaving, all cattle, sheep, and horses are under its care.

Regarding whether Li Shiji's enemies might cause trouble on Bengma Island after Li Cunxu leaves?

There's no need to worry at all.

Not only will they not cause trouble, but if any negative events occur on Bengma Island, they will step in to solve them.

They're afraid that if anything happens to Bengma Island, Li Cunxu will act erratically and affect Li Shiji on the front line, compelling Li Shiji to return.

Though they madly target Li Shiji, desperately wanting to kill him, there's a precondition: Li Shiji must not go berserk.

Li Shiji is inherently a maniac; even without going berserk, he's killed eighteen kings. If he does, who knows what might happen.

Thus, the stronger Li Shiji becomes, the less daring they are to make a move against Li Cunxu.

As the saying goes, when others suspect you have a weapon of mass destruction, it's best if you genuinely do.

Li Cunxu left Tongdu and went to Shendu University, where he registered for the Gold Tournament with his advisor.

Anyone can register for the Gold Tournament anywhere, so why did Li Cunxu insist on registering at Shendu University?

Because Li Cunxu wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

Registering outside differs from registering at Shendu University.

Registering at Shendu University means representing the school in the competition. Achieving good results in the Gold Tournament will garner rewards from both the tournament organizers and the school, resulting in double rewards.

If Li Cunxu had a family backing him, he could receive family rewards as well.

If Li Cunxu's parents were Overlords or King Beastmasters, he could receive parental rewards too.

This is why people are keen on competing in tournaments.

Parental rewards don't matter much since, although Li Cunxu's parents aren't both deceased, they've gotten into significant trouble, so finding them at all would be fortunate, let alone getting rewards.

Family rewards are also negligible. Despite having the Saint Lotus Li Family behind him, Li Cunxu might as well be on his own. Even if he won the Gold Tournament, he'd only receive symbolic and unimportant rewards at best.

Li Cunxu can clearly feel the distance from the Saint Lotus Li Family.

It's apparent from the way his sister is protected when Li Shiji faces trouble, while he's left without any support from them.

The one who informed Li Cunxu of his grandfather Li Shiji getting into trouble was a man impersonating Li Shihuo.
