The world was shocked. Less than a month after the Reign of Chaos was released, the China server had already triggered a quest to retake a city. Moreover, this quest was triggered by Ling Yue entering the Holy Domain. No matter how you looked at it, Ling Yue had made an unparalleled contribution.
However, it was also puzzling. Little Butterfly had entered the Holy Domain earlier than Ling Yue, but she wasn't the first mage player. It looked like the Priest class was discriminated against. That was the only explanation. Otherwise, the only explanation was that Ling Yue's beauty aura far surpassed Little Butterfly's loli aura.
… …
I quickly applied to join the party. Not long after, Ling Yue added us one by one. She said with a smile, "Oh, did you see that? I finally don't have to stay at Level 300..."
"What are you waiting for?
Come to the territory hall and discuss our next move! "
"Oh, oh!"
A few minutes later, Ling Xue, Ling Yue, Bing Cha, Chrysanthemum Daohana, and the other girls appeared in the territory hall. Ling Yue was only wearing a noob robe. She had already turned from a Level 324 mage to a beautiful low-level apprentice. I had to say, the noob robe was very attractive. The thin clothes accentuated the beautiful boss's proud figure. Mountains and rivers, a beautiful paradise!
Ling Yue was very excited. Her pair of beautiful eyes were filled with vigor. She was holding a magic staff with a flickering flame in her hand. It seemed that the quality of the staff wasn't low.
I said, "That... is that the Holy Flame Staff?"
"Yes!"
"That doesn't make sense. How can an ice mage get a Holy Flame Staff?
This staff is obviously of the fire type... "
Ling Yue smiled. "Not bad. You can use an Earth God Equipment at Level 0. I'm so happy!"
"Oh, an Earth God Equipment Holy Domain equipment?"
"Yes!"
Ling Yue pointed and the Holy Flame Staff appeared in the party channel —

…
"F * ck!
Is it a mid-tier nation weapon or an earth god weapon? "
I was dumbfounded. A Lv 0 staff actually had nearly 30000 Magic Attack. How could I live like this?
Moreover, it was a Mid-Grade Nation Weapon, and its stats had been greatly increased.
Ling Xue lightly smiled: "Elder sister, the Fire God's Fire Rod, but it looks quite beautiful. It's not as simple as a Fire Rod!"
Ling Yue couldn't help but smile: "A godly weapon!
Even if it's just a toothpick, it will evolve into a Chiyou God Weapon in the future, understand? "
Bing Cha smiled and asked: "Boss, quickly send us your measurements, we are all waiting!
Is it high? You won't disappoint us, right? "
Ling Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed and she stuck out her full chest, saying proudly: "How can it be low?"
As she said that, Ling Yue's growth stats appeared in the party channel —
[Strength]: 31 Stars
[Stamina]: 28 Stars
[Agility]: 36 Stars
[Intelligence]: 50 Stars
… …
My mind buzzed. I had no idea that Ling Yue's growth would be so high. Stamina and Agility aside, her Intelligence was a solid 50 Stars, maxed out!
Ling Xue, Bing Cha and Chrysanthemum Daohana were also stunned, their mouths agape. After a while, Bing Cha said: "Such … such strong growth!
Little Butterfly's three measurements are only 95 points, but yours has actually reached 114 points. You're too strong, 4 points higher than the Seven-star Lamp … "
Ling Yue smiled brightly. "Of course, torturing Seven-star Lamp in the future is just a piece of cake!"
I said: "Hurry up and change your body to take a look!"
"Mn!"
Ling Yue nodded with a smile. Suddenly, her expression turned serious, and a layer of orange light covered her beautiful eyes. Then, an orange cyclone suddenly exploded from her body. Unlike the flames of melee players, it formed an orange fire magic shield around her body!
"Fuck!
What is this? "I couldn't help but ask.
Ling Yue laughed softly. "Cyclone Shield, a unique skill of the mage class. How about it?
Scholar, do you want to give it a try? Attack me a few times and see how tough my Cyclone Shield is. "
"Mn!"
Ling Yue wasn't wearing mage equipment, so her Defense was almost zero. Therefore, I didn't use my sword and started sparring with Ling Yue with my bare hands.
Ling Yue chuckled. "Don't show any mercy. Try your best to kill me, if you have the ability to!"
"No problem!"
I smiled and sprinted forward. My fist was covered in a layer of blue flames, and a cyclone surged around my fist. Then, I punched Ling Yue's Cyclone Shield!
"Pu!"
My fist was full of power, but it was like a clay ox thrown into the sea. The Cyclone Shield only stopped for a moment before it suddenly produced a huge force and bounced me away!
Ling Yue smiled and waved her staff confidently. Then, she let out a shout and a whirlpool of ice and snow appeared!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
“42347！”
“41334！”
“41389！”
After three consecutive hits, I lost over a hundred thousand HP. I couldn't help but admit defeat. Ling Yue was only using her staff, but she was still able to deal such heavy damage to me while I was in my transformed state. Even among mages at max level, there weren't many who could do such a thing. It looked like the Cyclone Shield had greatly increased Ling Yue's magic damage.
I didn't give up. I sprinted forward again and swung my fist, using Total Annihilation!
Pu pu pu...
After several attacks, the cyclone on my fist collided with Ling Yue's Cyclone Shield. It sounded like a lightning explosion, but it still didn't deal any damage to Ling Yue.
However, the Cyclone Shield didn't have much durability left.
I took advantage of the situation and roared, sending out a Divine Dragon Slash!
"Pu!"
The Cyclone Shield turned into countless cyclones and dust. It was finally broken.
However, Ling Yue didn't wait for me to deal the killing blow. Her entire body had already flashed away. By the time I reached her, Ling Yue was already smiling. With a light chant, the second [Cyclone Shield] was formed!
"Fuck!"
I retracted my hand and glared at him. "Are you done yet? This Cyclone Shield can summon an unlimited number of spells? If that's the case, isn't it too difficult to kill a Holy Mage?"
Ling Yue chuckled. "That's right!
Two Cyclone Shields only have a cooldown of three seconds. You only have three seconds. If you miss it, you'll be trampled to death by the mage's magic. However, I don't have much MP, and my level is low right now. I can only form three Cyclone Shields in a row, so you still have a chance. "
I smiled. "Never mind, I'll spar with you in the future!"
Ling Yue was happy. Even I was forced into a corner by her. This was enough to prove the strength of a Holy Domain mage. Their increased HP would make them irreplaceable frontline killers!
Actually, if I used Scarlet Heaven Sword, I could break the Cyclone Shield in two hits at most. However, this was an unfair advantage. Ling Yue was a Level 0 noob right now, and there was no sense of accomplishment in bullying her. On the other hand, my IMBA skills were useless. Dragon Bind, Judgement, Blitz Thunder, Fierce Wind, any one of them was enough to make Ling Yue pale.
Bing Cha's beautiful eyes moved, and she suddenly smiled. "Ling Yue, don't leave. I'm going to get something for you!"
"Oh?"
While Ling Yue was hesitating, Bing Cha turned around and left. Less than two minutes later, the little girl ran back and took out a few pieces of equipment from her bag. They were all Holy Domain equipment for mages, ranging from Level 0 to Level 50. The highest level was a pseudo-Immortal, and the lowest level was Bronze, Silver, or Gold. In short, they were good enough to greatly increase Ling Yue's current Defense.
Looking at the shining equipment, Ling Yue was stunned. "Bing Cha, this is?"
"Oh!
This is the Sanctuary-level Mage equipment that I bought when I was purchasing equipment. I originally wanted to see which hero in Vanilla and Ice could ascend, but I didn't expect them to be so disappointing. In that case, I'll give it to you first. You need this kind of low-level equipment the most right now. "
"Ah?
How much money... "Ling Yue hesitated.
Bing Cha blinked and laughed softly. "It's just a few hundred thousand. You and I don't care about it, so stop pretending..."
Ling Yue giggled and stopped pretending. She accepted the equipment and said with a smile, "Then I'll be leveling up overnight. I'll try to reach Level 50 by noon tomorrow. Then, I'll be able to participate in the Bloody Path's siege mission."
I asked, "Do you want someone to carry you?"
Ling Yue nodded. "Of course. Scholar, what do you think is the fastest way to level up?"
I pondered for a moment before suggesting, "How about this? You take a territory construction quest, and I'll tank the mobs while you kill them all by yourself. Quest mobs give experience, so killing a Level 255 mob is definitely equivalent to killing a thousand Level 50 common mobs. What do you think? Do you want to give it a try?"
"Alright, let's do that!"
And so, the plan was set. I gave orders to the Shadow Follower, Bing Zhiyi, and the others. We were to gather our men and head to White Cloud City before noon tomorrow. There weren't many people on Snow Moon, but they were all elites. If we were going to reclaim the city, then we had to do it.
Also, I told Chrysanthemum Daohana to go to sleep. Girls shouldn't stay up too late.
Ling Xue, Soundless Rain, Summer, Zi Yue, and the others also went to sleep. Bing Cha, on the other hand, insisted on solo grinding. Bing Cha was already Holy Domain Level 75, so he didn't want to grind dungeons. Instead, he took a 3200 difficulty territory construction quest and went to kill Level 255 mobs by himself. No explanation would be needed for his valiant life.
Soon, Ling Yue and I were the only ones left in the territory. Ling Yue was a Level 0 mage. She looked at me timidly and asked with a smile, "What quest should I take?"
"I'll accept an awesome quest!"
"Oh!"
I walked up to the territory manager and flipped through the quests that had spawned today. There weren't many left, and the Shadow Follower, Fleeting Time, and Bing Zhiyi had already taken a couple of them. The highest level left was a 5700 difficulty quest, but I couldn't accept it. I turned around and said, "Ling Yue, you take this quest. I'll train you for free."
"Mn!"
Sigh, I'm so lucky. I didn't get this kind of treatment when I first entered the Holy Domain. I had to brave the wind and fire all by myself until I was only Level 200 or so.
Ling Yue quickly accepted the quest. It was a solo quest. The details were to go to a half-beastman camp and rescue a weaponsmithing master. If the quest was completed, this weaponsmithing master would join the King's City and become one of us. This quest was actually quite practical. It was similar to the ancient times when people were looking for talents. Ling Yue and I would go to the mountains to look for a famous scholar. As long as we helped him get rid of a few small hoodlums, he would cry and say, "It is my fortune to meet a wise master. I am willing to serve you!"
A bright red dot appeared on the map. Ling Yue said with a smile, "Let's go. This half-beastman camp is at the edge of the Outland. It's about ten minutes away."
"We'll be there in ten minutes?"
"Of course. Isn't your Flame Qilin really fast?"
Damn, she had been thinking about my mount for a long time. I couldn't help but think about the story of free rides. However, when I saw Ling Yue's beautiful face that was no different from Ling Xue's, I hurriedly retracted my thoughts. I solemnly summoned the Flame Qilin and mounted it. I stretched out my hand and said, "Let's go!"
"En!"
In the next moment, Ling Yue appeared in my arms. The beautiful mage's clothes were thin but it felt really good to the touch. Ling Yue also felt it and smiled. "How does it feel?"
I was shocked and said, "Meaty..."
"Damn!"
The Flame Qilin let out a long roar and charged out of the territory like a ball of flames. In the blink of an eye, it had passed through a forest. It was so fast that it could not even see the scenery in the forest clearly.
Ling Yue smiled faintly and said, "Its speed is not bad, but it is slightly inferior to the Giant Dragon.
Oh right, did you know?
When Fleeting Time stepped into the Holy Domain, she also triggered Longyu's Giant Dragon Quest. She should be able to get a giant dragon soon. I just don't know if it'll be the same as Uncle Solitary Grave's. "
"If it's the same as Uncle Solitary Grave, then it'll be a tragedy."
I smiled. "Flower Flame also has a mount. This is great. With Brave Heart, Snow Moon will be able to send out three Dragon Knights. This lineup is really strong!"
"Yes, yes, I always believe that Snow Moon is the strongest!"
"Let's help you get to Holy Domain Level 50 and equip your equipment first. Right now, the Cyclone Shield's Defense isn't that high. It might be able to ignore some noobs, but if you meet an expert like The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze, your shield will break in two hits."
"Yes, let's go grind quickly!"
… …
Ten minutes later, we appeared at the side of a stream. There were wooden tents erected on the shoal of the river. Surprisingly, there was a half-beastman tribe living there.
"Let's find a lone one to fight first. Look, there's one over there!"
I pointed to the right. There was a half-beastman scout carrying a battle axe on his shoulder. His muscles were exposed and he looked even more exaggerated than Arnold Schwarzenegger.
