: True Burning Technique

..........................................

Lin Zhiying actually possessed a Word of Power called "Junyan." Upon seeing this, Chu Zihang's eyes revealed a strange expression.

Looking at it this way, he really does resemble me.

Lin Zhiying charged into the group of Deadpools with the Murasame weapon in hand. With the help of the Murasame, he easily cut down the remaining few.

-500

-1400

Seeing the white experience points accumulated, he rubbed his hands together excitedly.

As expected, these Deadpools are quite weak. Odin? He's nothing special after all.

As he was thinking this, he saw even more Deadpools surround him, numbering in the dozens.

Every few of them, there is a Deadpool with a relatively complete body, who looks significantly stronger.

Without saying a word, Lin Zhiying turned and ran. He wasn't afraid; it was a strategic retreat.

A single Deadpool isn't very strong, but if you're surrounded by Deadpools, you're likely to be ganged up on and killed.

On the other side, Chu Zihang also saw this group of Deadpools, but his choice was different from Lin Zhiying's.

He held Murasame in one hand, flames rising from the blade; with his other hand, he made a loose fist, flames gathering at his fingertips, like a sharp sword piercing into the Deadpool horde.

Fire snakes sprayed through the Deadpool horde, and dozens of Deadpools were routed by him alone!

"What a monster," Lin Zhiying thought to himself as he watched the scene unfold.

He then sneaked back, following Chu Zihang to pick up the scraps and finish off the surviving Death Servants.

Since the experience is the same anyway, I can make last-hitting easier by doing it this way.

I watched myself level up to level 20.

Lin Zhiying couldn't stop smiling. Following Chu Zihang was like leveling up while lying down. It was a pity that the experience points from the dead servants he killed didn't count towards his own, otherwise he would have leveled up two or three more times.

The only downside is that, perhaps because Deadpool is too weak, the drop rate for items is quite low.

Aside from some alchemy materials, only 3 pieces of [Muramasa (Fragment)] were dropped.

This means he'll never be able to collect 100 pieces to exchange for [Muramasa].

The Deadpools in this area seem endless, and there are currently other conditions for clearing this area.

However, neither Chu Zihang nor he has been found yet.

There were too many Deadpools, seemingly an endless stream, and they gathered more and more as the flames at the door flared.

Even if Lin Zhiying wanted to slack off, he couldn't; he had to deal with the small group of Deadpools.

The "King's Flame" wrapped around [Muramasa] increased the power of the sword technique. Each strike could render a Dead Servant incapable of fighting. Although it couldn't defeat Chu Zihang, the efficiency was still very high.

"Wrong."

Chu Zihang's voice came from behind, and Lin Zhiying was a little confused as to what he meant.

Did I do something wrong?

"Wrong again."

Chu Zihang's voice came through.

You have a negative personality, right?

Lin Zhiying turned around and found Chu Zihang looking at him.

Seeing him looking at him, he unleashed a wave of flame from his hand, each wave of heat appearing in the air and instantly clearing away the surroundings.

This seemed to be a move he had just used. Seeing this, Lin Zhiying suddenly had an idea.

Could it be that Chu Zihang was teaching me how to use "Word of Power: Monarch's Flame"?

The old man finally handed over the Burning Executioner!

"The name of the Word of Power represents its true meaning."

Chu Zihang's calm voice came through.

"You'll understand if you go to Kassel College."

"I ask you, Junyan, what does 'Jun' mean?"

Chu Zihang was clearly handling these dead servants with ease, and he asked.

"To rule over everything, is that what it means to be a ruler?"

Lin Zhiying said somewhat uncertainly that in his previous life he had chosen the "Bronze Throne" pigment, and he really didn't know much about it.

"All directions come to pay homage, and all ministers bow their heads to the ruler; a raging fire, with its boundless radiance, is the flame."

Chu Zihang chopped down the Death Servant in front of him and answered.

"All directions pay homage, the raging fire roars..."

Lin Zhiying pondered these words repeatedly, and vaguely gained a better understanding of "Junyan".

"Have you noticed that your 'Monarch's Flame' always seems to converge towards me, and its elemental affinity effect has also weakened considerably?"

Chu Zihang spoke up.

Lin Zhiying nodded. He did have that feeling, especially since the mana consumption on the panel had increased by about 10%.

He originally thought it was because of the copy itself, but now that he heard what Chu Zihang said, it seems there is another reason.

"This is a characteristic of 'Monarch Flame.' When multiple 'Monarch Flames' are present, the strongest one will receive an amplification, while the others will be weakened."

While listening to Chu Zihang's words, Lin Zhiying adjusted her posture and movements.

He was so dedicated because what Chu Zihang said was really useful.

On the panel, the countdown timer for the Word of Power: Lord Flame has jumped to 56 days.

The reason it can improve so quickly is due to the bonus from the event [Thousand Skills and Hundred Arts], which also applies to learning Word of Power!

If this trend continues, he might be able to learn "Word of Power: Monarch's Flame" directly from Chu Zihang!

This is a genuine A-grade Word of Power.

On the leaderboard of the "Hundred Skills and Thousand Arts" event, it turns out that Lin Zhiying remained in the 500s after learning the "Musashi Sword Technique".

At this moment, his name began to climb the rankings at an extremely rapid pace!

One hundred, and it didn't stop; fifty, and it didn't stop either.

They broke into the top ten, reaching ninth place, and were only 10 points behind the previous place and 50 points behind the first place.

..........................................

Inside the dungeon, looking at the mana bar that was almost empty, Lin Zhiying spoke up.

"There are too many monsters here, and we weren't prepared enough. Should we leave now?"

Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The two retreated to a secluded spot, reopened the portal, and exited the instance.

After leaving the instance, they immediately returned to their original location, which is quite considerate.

Chu Zihang drove Lin Zhiying to his residence in his BMW.

As Lin Zhiying passed by the door, she suddenly noticed a package at her door.

He picked it up and saw his own name written on it: "Lin Zhiying signed for."

He slowly opened it, revealing a pure black N96 mobile phone and a letter inside.

at the same time.

"Do you have a letter for me?"

Lu Mingfei peeked out from the door of the gatehouse; he had just returned from surfing the internet with "Durian Fire".

"Yes, it was sent from the United States."

The gatekeeper threw out a letter.

Lu Mingfei touched the envelope and found only a thin piece of paper inside, undoubtedly a rejection letter.

If it's an acceptance letter, it will contain many forms and introductory materials, and it feels very thick to the touch.

Her aunt had her send many letters, hoping to try her luck and study abroad, since English was her only strong point.

Lu Mingfei tore open the envelope; the letter was surprisingly written in Chinese:

Dear Mr. Lu Mingfei:

Thank you for your interest in the University of Chicago, but unfortunately you were not admitted.

However, as we often say, there is more than one path; it just depends on whether you are willing to choose it.

…………

Professor Guderian is currently on an academic visit to China and will be interviewing you in three days.

Please contact Professor Guderian if you have any questions.

I will assist him in providing services to you. I am Norma Lawns, the college secretary of Kassel College. It is a pleasure to meet you.

Your sincerity

诺玛
