Chapter 176: Immortal Thunder, everyone is promoted!
Cao Xing wants to build his own Ascalon Legion.

Although now, the group of soldiers in front of him are still far inferior to the Undead Legion led by Duke Palatine.

But he has the talent of [Eternal Power].

In the near future, he will be able to build an army that is no smaller than the Undead Legion, and even more powerful than them!
at the same time.

All Ascalon soldiers have been upgraded to the second level.

They felt the power filling their bodies, and everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.

Cao Xing casually glanced at the attributes of one of the Ascalon soldiers.

[Ascalon Soldier: Yaskin]

[Race: Human Race]

[Level: Level 10 0/10000]

[HP: 2589/2589]

[Attack Power: 247~259 (Aurora Blessing +326 additional attack)]

[Armor: 58~65]

[Attributes: Strength 104, Agility 97, Spirit 95, Constitution 107]

[Skills: Mastery of elementary swordsmanship, Moonlight Slash.]

[Legion Skill: Fearless Charge]

[Talent: None]

[Bond: Ascalon Legion (100 people's skills activated)]

[Status: Blessing of Courage, Queen's Will, Blessing of the Tree of Life]

[Hunger: 78]

【Loyalty: 89】

...

"Yes, because of Mu Xue's blessing of courage, any soldier has an attack power of 500 to 600."

So, he randomly selected three Ascalon soldiers with slightly stronger basic attributes, and said, “I will now bless you.

"Then, you will go to the training barracks and complete elite training."

"Next, the three of you will serve as squad leaders in the Ascalon army and lead the others in battle."

The three selected Ascalon soldiers suddenly received Cao Xing's order, as if they were hit by a huge surprise!
A look of ecstasy appeared in their eyes, and their bodies began to tremble with excitement!
"Thank you for your recognition, Lord!"

"We will defend your honor with our lives!"

For them, becoming stronger is certainly exciting, but being recognized by Cao Xing makes them happier.

It can be seen from the envious eyes of other Ascalon soldiers that they also very much want to be recognized by Cao Xing.

The next moment, Cao Xing heard three messages about increasing loyalty:
The loyalty of the three people he chose all increased to above 93!

Then, after Cao Xing refreshed their status, he let them enter the training camp.

As for the remaining Ascalon soldiers, Cao Xing also asked them to go out and fight the ice nest monsters.

Originally, he wanted to continue to improve the status of these soldiers, but Cao Xing looked at his own level.

[Level 19 78%]

I only need the last 20 experience points to reach level .

Liu Muxue next to him had already caught up in level because of the group BUFF.

It has now reached 19% of level 89.

Both of them were able to reach level 20 this morning and then advance to level three creatures.

By then, their attributes will increase dramatically, and they will be much stronger when they refresh their status.

So, all the Ascalon soldiers walked out of the territory and went outside to fight the ice nest monsters.

...

At the same time, Cao Xing brought Liu Muxue to the city wall.

"Boom!!"

A meteor streaked across the sky, and the familiar vibration sound appeared again.

Even though it was snowing outside, the Ice Nest still landed near the territories of all the survivors regardless of wind and snow.

Cao Xing saw that in the snow in the distance, an ice nest larger than the ones in the previous days suddenly landed.

A huge pit was directly smashed into the thick snow.

Then, a group of huge ice nest monsters, about one meter tall and large in size, crawled out from inside.

Now the level of monsters appearing in the Ice Nest is gradually increasing, and the monster levels are generally around level 8 to 10.

There are 500 ice nest monsters in an ice nest, which can bring Cao Xing about 20 experience points, just enough for him to reach level .

At this time, Elisa, after seeing the ice nest coming, had already rushed out with her team of archers.

This little girl has a great passion for fighting.

There was also Tong Chuchu, who went out with a white shadow and joined the battle.

Boom! Boom!
The white shadow was running with an astonishing momentum, and its agile figure moved quickly on the snow, with blue electric light appearing on its body from time to time!
This is Volibear who has reached level 9 after accelerated growth.

Liu Muxue at the side opened her mouth slightly, and then said in surprise: "Oh my God! Is that little Wally?"

"How come you've grown so big after just one night?"

Cao Xing smiled and nodded, explaining to Liu Muxue the effect of the heart of the human-faced tree.

A look of realization appeared in Liu Muxue's eyes, and then she and Cao Xing excitedly watched the battle outside the territory.

At this moment, Volibear soon came into contact with a group of Icebrood monsters.

It stood up and then roared.

"Roar!"

The next moment, Volibear's claws swept over fiercely, carrying blue electricity.

Swish!Swish!
【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

Since he did not receive Liu Muxue's blessing of courage and aurora,
So Volibear's damage is not as exaggerated as imagined.

However, as a level 9 elite monster, this damage is already very high.

And with its [Swift Charge], it directly knocked down an Ice Nest Monster and began to bite it madly.

"Roar! Roar!"

Volibear's ferocious roar was heard.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

The Icebrood monster was pinned to the ground by it and couldn't get up at all.

With just over 800 HP, it was wiped out in a few hits by Volibear.

Then, it turned into a pile of ice debris and fell under Wally.

[Your pet: Volibear killed Icebrood lv9, gaining experience value: 90]

[Combatants gain experience points: 45]

At this moment, although this big white bear is still in its growth stage, its ferocious fighting power has begun to show its edge.

At the same time, as Wally killed the ice nest monster.

Three or four more monsters nearby pounced on it at the same time.

After seeing this scene, Wally was not panicked at all.

It rose up with its own strength, then raised its sharp claws, and a ball of terrifying lightning force gathered between its claws.

"Zizi...Zizi..."

The sound of electricity sounded.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky.

Click!

The lightning fell directly on the spot, covering all enemies within the surrounding seven or eight meters area!
In an instant, dense numbers of damage appeared.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

Not only that, Volibear, Tong Chuchu, and the robots next to them all gained a layer of blue lightning shield.

Then, Cao Xing heard the system prompt.

[Your pet Volibear activates the skill [Thunderbolt], adding a shield to friendly units, and the talent [Eternal Power] takes effect, and the shield has become permanent.]
(Note: After the shield is broken, there will be a 90-second refresh time.)
...

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, this lightning shield is the same as the holy shield. Even if it is destroyed, it can be regenerated after a period of time.

This is the horror of [Eternal Power]. As long as it is in a continuous gain state, almost everyone can be blessed.

There was no suspense at all in the battle below. Tong Chuchu could blow up one of those ice nest monsters with just one shot.

After a while, Cao Xing still hadn't upgraded.

A white light rose first from Volibear's side.

[Your pet: Volibear has been upgraded to level 10. ]

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing's face also showed joy.

"Very good, Wally has finally reached level 10. Next, we can use the Heart of Power on him to allow him to break through to level ."

"Then use the boss's soul!"

He waved to Tong Chuchu in the distance.

Tong Chuchu understood Cao Xing's gesture and quickly ran back with the big white bear.

"Big brother, Volibear has reached level 10!"

"Yeah, I get it. Well done, little Chuchu."

After saying that, Cao Xing gave all four mechanic skill books in his backpack to Tong Chuchu.

Looking at the skill book in her arms, the little girl was suddenly flattered.

She asked tentatively: "Big...Big brother...are these all for me?"

"Yes."

Cao Xing continued: "Hurry up and study, little Chuchu, and become stronger quickly. I will take you out to fight later."

Cao Xing was indeed planning to take Tong Chuchu with him when he went out later.

The combat power of a mechanic is still very strong, especially in a territory like Cao Xing that has no shortage of resources. The mechanics trained there are even more terrifyingly strong!
As for the loyalty of the survivors, Cao Xing naturally doesn't have to worry about it.

Without his resources and the talent of [Eternal Power], no matter how strong a mechanic is, he won't be able to cause much trouble.

When the little girl heard the last sentence, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes!
She nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said, "Yeah! I will work hard to become stronger, and then go out to fight with big brother!"

After that, she studied all four skill books and began to absorb the memories in them.

Cao Xing opened the Dragon Shop and spent 1000 Ice Dragon Marks to exchange for a Primary Heart of Power.

And he came to Volibear and used it directly on the white bear.

Pure power flowed into Volibear's body. Cao Xing could feel that Volibear's aura began to surge wildly!
"Roar! Roar!"

Volibear kept making low growls.

After a while, the system prompt appeared.

[Your pet: Volibear has completed the upgrade and become a second-level creature, and the basic attributes have increased by 100%]

[Because you helped Volibear improve his strength, his loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 93]

...

A look of joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

After the breakthrough, the white bear seemed very happy and kept rubbing its head against Cao Xing's shoulder.

Cao Xing stroked its soft fur and said, "Little Wally, next, I will transform you into a leader-level creature."

After saying that, Cao Xing took out the [Soul of the Elder of the Ice Crystal Human-Faced Tree].

Before, in the Wild Boar Tribe, Cao Xing had defeated a leader and a leader-level soul in succession.

This time, he didn't believe he could fail.

So, Cao Xing directly slapped this soul into Volibear's body.

The big white bear's body suddenly stiffened.

Under the gaze of Cao Xing and others, the power of thunder and lightning in Volibear began to burst out uncontrollably.

"Zizi...Zizi..."

Blue electricity raged around Wally's body.

To the extent that Cao Xing had to retreat several meters.

A moment later, Volibear suddenly opened his eyes, and a more powerful force of thunder and lightning rushed from his body into the sky!
Boom!

Thunder boomed.

The huge movement even attracted the attention of Juliet who was planting moss grass.

At the same time, a system prompt appears.

[Your pet: Volibear has successfully advanced to a second-level boss creature and learned a new skill: Heavenly Voice Shocks Falling]

[Sky Shock: Volibear unleashes the lightning power in his body and suddenly leaps forward 5 to 100 meters. After landing, it deals 30% lightning damage to all enemies within 274 meters, paralyzing them for 0.5 to 5 seconds.

And in the next 10 seconds, all of Volibear's attacks will have 100% lightning damage, with a cooldown of 5 minutes.]

...

When Cao Xing saw the attributes of this skill, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Wow! So fierce!"

What does it mean to jump 100 meters directly?
If Cao Xing was at the same level, he would be caught up by Volibear almost instantly.

Not only that, this skill also has an ultra-large-range group attack of up to 30 meters, and a damage coefficient of nearly three times!

Coupled with the subsequent additional thunder damage, if it can be enhanced by [Eternal Power].

Wally's damage is doubled for all attacks!
This skill is so powerful!
"Good, good, good! As expected of the Immortal Thunder, it's too powerful!"

Cao Xing took a quick look at Volibear's attributes after his advancement.

[Cao Xing's pet: Volibear]

[Race: Beast]

[Level: Level 10 0/9000 (Second-order boss creature)]

[HP: 6316/6316]

[Attack power: 591~608]

[Attributes: Strength 236, Agility 217, Spirit 209, Constitution 224]

[Skills: Swift Rush, Lightning Claws, Thunderbolt, Heaven-shaking Voice]

[Talent ①: Cold Resistance]

[Talent ②: Lightning Body]

[Talent ③: Behemoth]

[Status: Ice Armor, Ice Healing, Blessing of the Pale Tree]

[Satiety: 87]

【Loyalty: 93】

...

Powerful attributes!
As soon as he broke through, he had over 6,000 HP and nearly 600 attacks!

This is the advantage of the beast.

Although they cannot wear various equipment to enhance their attributes.

But with their strong physique, they are able to compete with all the major races in this world.

At this moment, the Volibear stood up and let out a deafening roar.

"Roar!!!"

It felt the power of thunder and lightning filling its body, and it couldn't help but shout out loud!
Then, a system prompt appears.

[Because you helped the pet: Volibear to improve its strength, its loyalty has been improved, and its current loyalty is 98]

Cao Xing was amazed, "This loyalty level is increasing really fast!"

However, this is also related to the fact that he was raised since childhood.

As soon as he enters his growth period, Volibear has a loyalty of 90.

Now, we only need 2 points of loyalty to reach 100.

However, 2 points of loyalty are not a problem at all for Cao Xing.

He directly took out two [Special Pet Food (Green)] from his backpack.

Sure enough, after seeing the little meatball in Cao Xing's hand, the ferocity on Volibear's face disappeared instantly.

It turned into a well-behaved puppy.

Lying on the ground, looking at Cao Xing eagerly.

Cao Xing smiled and threw both pet rations to Volibear.

The big white bear swallowed it in one gulp.

[Your pet: Volibear has eaten special pet rations, and its loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 100]

(Loyalty is full, mount function is enabled.)
...

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad."

"Now Volibear's loyalty is full."

Then, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue randomly cast a few status skills on it, and let Chuchu take Volibear to fight.

Next, all you have to do is wait patiently.

Wait for your level to reach level 20, and then complete the third stage advancement!

Time passes slowly.

As all 500 ice nest monsters in this ice nest were killed, Elisa below also ended the battle.

At the same time, white light appeared on Cao Xing and Liu Muxue's bodies one after another.

Cao Xing said excitedly: "Great, I finally reached level 20!"

Then, Cao Xing took out two fist-sized red crystals from his backpack.

This is the heart of intermediate power, which allows them to advance directly.

"Luckily I saved two for myself yesterday."

"This way, Liu Muxue and I won't be stuck at the same level."

However, what bothers Cao Xing is that their levels will not be stuck.

But Braum and Hilda also reached level 20 soon.

Cao Xing was not ready for their intermediate power heart for the time being.

After all, it's snowing heavily now and we can't go too far.

The Dragon Shop can only exchange for primary hearts of power.

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then opened the hunter map in his backpack.

"If all else fails, we can only continue to look for the hunters' camps to attack."

"If we kill a few more black-robed priests, we'll probably be able to find a few intermediate power hearts."

For Cao Xing, these hunter camps are resource points.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing directly gave the Heart of Intermediate Power to Liu Muxue.

Then the two of them made a breakthrough together.

"Crack!"

As the heart of power was crushed, a powerful force surged into Cao Xing's body.

He could feel that his strength, physique, and reaction ability were beginning to surge like never before!
Hearing, vision, and even sense of smell become clearer.

Including Liu Muxue next to her, her already tall figure had actually grown two or three centimeters taller at this moment.

Her beautiful facial features had a cold look, and with the shield and iron sword in her hands, she gave people the feeling of a Valkyrie.

The transformation from the second stage to the third stage is also very fast, and it is completed in one or two minutes.

The next moment, two system prompts appeared.

[Congratulations on your successful advancement! You have officially become a third-level frost mage, and your basic attributes have increased by 100%]

[Your subordinate lord: Liu Muxue has successfully advanced to become a third-level Aurora Knight, and his basic attributes have increased by 100%]

...

The two looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

At the current stage, most survivors are at levels 6 to 9, and a small number of survivors have just advanced to level .

They have completed the third level advancement!
This leading progress is simply a crushing victory!

“This feeling of transformation is really great!”

Cao Xing thought with satisfaction.

Then, he equipped the [Staff of Dawn Light] on it.

Mental attributes and physical fitness have increased again!
He looked at his attributes.

【Name: Cao Xing】

[Race: Blue Star Human Race]

[Level: Level 20 0/100000 (Third-order Frost Mage)]
