Chapter 275: Water Flower's Additional Entry (Two-in-One)
"Yah—"
With an exhilarated dragon roar, Xiao Hei raised its paws high, and a blood-red, terrifying orb of energy instantly converged above them. The oppressive energy burst forth like heavy artillery, heading straight for the A-rank 5-stars Attack Target before them, instantly severing its last thread of life.
Moon Dragon King Furious Flame Strike.
The creature on the other side, the same level of Epic Rank Level 50 as Xiao Hei, had even less life value, so Xiao Hei didn't even need to consume its own life. Merely the anger generated after activating "Blood Fury" was sufficient to easily deplete the target's life value.
Against an opponent like Xiao Hei, unless one had a high damage reduction like Silver Horn, facing them simply meant an instant kill.
After all, Dragon King's Furious Flame Strike had no cooldown. It was all about who had more life value.
As the Attack Target toppled heavily to the ground, dissolving into a myriad of light spots and leaving behind a small mountain of resources, Xiao Hei had completed the task of single-handedly killing an A-rank Secret Realm Attack Target.
"Boom~"
Little Purple was surrounded by thunderlight, its eyes revealing a mix of tension and anticipation.
Having witnessed the striking power increase in Xiao Hei after its breakthrough, it was eager to feel the immense power that came with rising to Epic Rank.
Minutes later, once Qin Chuan and Lin Yue had collected the resources from the Secret Realm and teleported away, Little Purple's breakthrough began officially.
Amidst dazzling light, its Purple Crystal-like body became progressively more complex and mysterious, and within the arcs of electricity darting around it, there lurked a terrifying and explosive force.
All four of Lin Yue's Spiritual Beasts were damage dealers, but the one that specialized in single-target damage was Little Purple.
Typically, single-target Skills dealt a higher multiplier of damage than area of effect attacks.
After the breakthrough, Little Purple's output capacity was enough to compare with Xiao Hei and Xue Gao.
No, perhaps even stronger.
Because Little Purple had acquired an additional attribute.
Over the past seven days, perhaps due to Prayer, the nearby S-rank Secret Realms that featured top-tier rewards included a higher frequency of the additional attributes Lin Yue needed.
To date, on Qin Chuan's team, only Silver Horn had an additional attribute, but Xiao Qing, Xiao Hong, and Little Purple had all obtained theirs.
This issue, however, would no longer be a problem with the emergence of the Guild Transfer feature.
"Still early, shall we try teleporting?"
Waiting until Lin Yue had used up her reserved Conquest attempts and reappeared by his side, Qin Chuan smiled and said, "I checked, and about 30 sectors away from us, there's an S-rank Secret Realm that can drop top-tier Water Attribute additional attributes."
"Sure," Lin Yue looked at the spot Qin Chuan was pointing to and readily agreed.
Qin Chuan left a message in the Guild channel to tell other members not to mistakenly enter, then quickly re-entered the Guild Transfer feature's panel, opened the Secret Realm Map, selected the Secret Realm they wanted to visit, and soon a confirmation window popped up.
[Do you wish to spend 6000 Conquest Points to open a teleportation portal to the S-rank Secret Realm: Sea Demon Palace?]
[Yes][No]
6000 Conquest Points...
Thinking that killing a boss in a dedicated attack could now earn 40,000 Conquest Points, Qin Chuan clicked [Yes] without any heartache.
Soon, a small vortex icon appeared on the map's corresponding location.
[Luoyue Guild has opened an S-rank Secret Realm: Sea Demon Palace teleportation portal]
It's here!
Seeing the prompt that appeared before them, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue exchanged a smile and simultaneously touched the vortex.
Whoosh—
The figures of the two vanished from the spot and reappeared on a solitary island.
Behind them was the vortex-shaped transfer portal.
The portal could still bring three more Guild members to their location, but the S-rank Secret Realm was too dangerous for them, so Qin Chuan had left a message in advance to remind others not to come.
After choosing to close the transfer portal, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue looked at the entirely new Secret Realm.
Aside from the small island they were standing on, there was an endless ocean all around.
A blue palace, floating above the ocean, loomed in the distance.
There lay the central area of the Secret Realm, and the location of the Attack Target.
As Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, and Xiao Qing took off with the group, soaring into the sky, a new Conquest officially began.
-----------------
District 2457, Secret Silver Dagger Guild headquarters.
Zefina had just returned to headquarters with four Hall Level Players after completing an A-rank Secret Realm Attack. She couldn't hide the joy on her face.
After such a long time of effort, perseverance had finally paid off, and she had managed to gather everything required for her Contracted Spiritual Beast to break through to the Epic level and successfully achieved the breakthrough.
Even though it was just one more Epic Rank Level 40 Spiritual Beast, it meant a significant strength increase for the entire Attack squad.
Normally, five Hall Level Players could only attack A-rank 1-star Secret Realms, and they would need their Group Formation Array Map's first major attribute filled to Level 10 to attack A-rank 2-star Secret Realms.
But with one Epic Rank, they could challenge A-rank 3-star Secret Realms.
Having more Epic Ranks would allow them to attack 4-star or even 5-star levels.
And the rewards from different stars at the same level were vastly different.
So, with such a good start, the speed at which she could break her other Spiritual Beasts to Epic Rank would only get faster, eventually allowing her to ascend to Epic Player status smoothly.
Thinking about how Luo had already achieved his Promotion, a wave of powerlessness flickered in Zefina's eyes.
Such a fearsome person.
Despite being a Gold Talent Player just like everyone else, he had managed to be at the forefront, with others exhausting all efforts just to catch up to his previous milestone.
