She consumed a high-level dish that boosted her attack power, then pulled out the 【Yujin】 and began to clear the monsters. She had no intention of hiding her strength, nor did she need to anymore.
Before acquiring the 【Midnight Exile】, if she had faced off against Dinghai, she would have needed to rely on various aids like the Acorn Fruit and potions. But now, she could take on the entire Dinghai with just her skills and attributes.
Suspended in mid-air, she aimed her gun at the sea—【Meteor Shower】.
A bullet shot out from the barrel, creating a fierce whirlwind. As the bullet neared the surface of the water, an invisible wind whipped up the sea, instantly forming a water vortex. The bullet plunged to the seabed, stirring up a storm, and countless unlanded enemies were swept high into the air, their health points vanishing in an instant.
Someone sent her a party invitation, but Yu Xunge rejected it outright. Another player shouted for her to revive them, but she turned a deaf ear, her methods of killing becoming increasingly ruthless and brutal, which frightened off many players.
Once she cleared an area, she flew along the coastline to continue her hunt.
She kept her distance from the shoreline, avoiding warships, and only fired at areas where enemies were clustered. These areas were off-limits to Blue Star players, so there was no chance of her accidentally harming them.
She gazed into the distance and spotted Liang Yuchuan and Zhao Shuying, the two winged ones, also nearby hunting monsters.
Liang Yuchuan was a melee fighter, landing directly on the water's surface, using his snowboard like a surfboard, occasionally diving to the seabed to take out a few enemies before surfacing again.
Zhao Shuying, on the other hand, was a ranged attacker, twirling her staff as she danced about. It was unclear what abilities she had acquired, but every now and then, loot would shoot out of the water and hover before her.
Yu Xunge couldn't help but feel envious; she wished she had such an automatic looting ability.
After obtaining the 【Bloody Butcher】, every time she killed an enemy, a blood-red light spot would appear beside her head. The more enemies she killed, the more light spots accumulated, creating the illusion of a little blood-red sprite following her.
She could extract energy from these light spots to replenish her health. It wasn't much—about 0.1% of her health or mana per light spot.
When she had killed a thousand enemies, she reached out to grasp the blood-red light cluster. As she opened her palm, the energy had already crystallized into an irregular blood-red gem, about the size of a pistachio.
She summoned Tu Lan and fed the blood-red crystal to her, then looked on expectantly. "Is it any better?"
Tu Lan met Yu Xunge's gaze and replied honestly, "A little bit better. To fully recover, you might need about a million of these crystals. Can I help you hunt monsters outside?"
Hearing such a staggering number, Yu Xunge felt no disappointment; as long as it was useful, that was enough.
She shook her head. "It wouldn't be good for you to level up before you recover."
Both she and Tu Lan had gained some experience points in the world battlefield. After Yu Xunge emerged, she shot straight to level 17, while Tu Lan was close to leveling up as well.
Tu Lan said, "I can compress my current experience points to enhance my advanced attributes."
Yu Xunge was taken aback. "You can do that?"
"Yeah, that's how the Black Jade evolved into a Jiao, constantly solidifying and compressing its power."
Yu Xunge replied, "Alright, go ahead and compress."
Tu Lan didn't seem to make any visible movements; she simply stared into the void with her eyes wide open. After a few seconds, she said, "Done," and immediately transformed back into her original form, allowing Yu Xunge to stand on her head.
With her dear friend carrying her, they soared toward the waves. The wind rushed past them as she dove toward the sea, unleashing a Dragon's Breath that boiled the water in an instant, causing countless health bars to vanish beneath the surface.
She let out a triumphant dragon roar and tilted her head slightly to Yu Xunge. "I’m waiting for you to help me evolve into the strongest dragon in the world."
She could feel that after saying this, Yu Xunge's mood brightened significantly, as if clouds had parted to reveal the sun.
What a comforting presence! Yu Xunge smiled and replied, "Okay!"
Meanwhile, Zhao Shuying had the time to send her a message.
【Zhao Shuying】: Liang Yuchuan has gathered almost everything; we just need the candle flame from the tail of the Zhu Man. I can get that within three days. Do you have time this weekend to help us close the dungeon's light curtain?
【Yu Xunge】: Have you confirmed the specific items for the Acorn?
【Zhao Shuying】: Not yet, but we’ll bring the complete corpse over to try.
【Yu Xunge】: If I have time, I can help.
At that moment, the weakening effect from her soul shock had already worn off.
She was genuinely curious about what the reward for closing the dungeon's light curtain would be.
Yu Xunge didn’t linger on the coast for long. After about three hours of hunting, she accumulated 20 blood-red crystals for Tu Lan and then returned to her own dungeon to ignite her light feathers.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to hunt more; it was just that she couldn’t pick up any equipment here. Although she wasn’t short on money, she preferred to save where she could and spend where necessary. It was quite frustrating not being able to collect the gear and items she had earned.
From that day on, Yu Xunge made it a routine to hunt monsters by the sea for two hours every day, accumulating blood-red crystals, and then returning home when the time was up.
**Chapter 389: The Arena of All Races!**
A few days later, Liang Yuchuan and Zhao Shuying arrived at her home one after the other, but they were stopped outside by a lightning net.
When Tu Lan stepped out to open the door, she was munching on a 95-point strawberry ice cream that Yu Xunge had made for her.
Recently, she had been living the life a dragon treasure should enjoy, with Yu Xunge making her whatever she wanted, using only the highest standards—both 【Naughty Kitchen】 and 【Centennial Old Brand】 were in play.
She looked at the two figures outside, one black and one green, one resembling ink dropped in water, the other like seaweed. Well, although they were both made of light spots and not physical entities, Tu Lan still thought her little Yu's wings were the most beautiful.
Moreover, Liang Yuchuan's short hair had turned a deep green.
Liang Yuchuan spread his wings in front of him and dusted off the nonexistent dust. "Long time no see, is Yu Xunge home?"
Tu Lan replied, "…………… You’re trying too hard to act."
Liang Yuchuan covered his mouth with his wings. "Oh, really?!"
Zhao Shuying was silent for a moment, seriously recalling whether she had been this silly while showing off her wings recently.
Tu Lan added, "… She said to wait a minute; she’s feeding the cat in the backyard. She mentioned you two would be here today."
Just then, Yu Xunge rushed over. The three of them skipped the small talk, grouped up, and each drank their prepared invisibility potions as they flew toward the sea.
The location was a level 15 dungeon Yu Xunge had discovered at the seabed. Although Zhao Shuying and Liang Yuchuan were only level 12, the three of them together would have no problem tackling a level 15 dungeon.
The enemy forces had begun to gather strength to attack some smaller nations, but Huaxia had not achieved complete victory either; a small portion of the enemies had infiltrated cities on land, and Dinghai and the officials were busy with investigations lately.
Once they reached the seaside, the three of them dove into the water and swam toward their destination.
Each of them wore a bubble provided by Tu Lan, and it was only then that Yu Xunge finally asked, "Isn’t collaborating with us instead of Dinghai considered taking private jobs?"
Zhao Shuying didn’t hide it. "Staying in Dinghai wouldn’t benefit me; they’re currently investigating those of us who have acquired the light wings."
Yu Xunge turned to Liang Yuchuan. "What about you? Do you have a solution?"
If it were anything else, she might doubt Liang Yuchuan's understanding, but given the importance of the wings, she didn’t believe Liang Yuchuan would miss the issues surrounding them.
Liang Yuchuan clearly understood. "It’s already been resolved."
Yu Xunge and Zhao Shuying looked at her in surprise.
Tu Lan, who knew how long Yu Xunge had discussed this matter with Feng Ran, asked curiously, "How did you solve it?"
Liang Yuchuan replied, "My uncle has a skill that allows her to be reborn without changing her race, starting everything from scratch. She can reselect her divine talents. Her original divine talent wasn’t great, and after we mentioned it, she agreed."
Yu Xunge recalled Liang Jing's divine talent called 【Goodnight, Young Lady】, which included a skill called 【Who Says I Can't Be Born】...
Zhao Shuying, well-informed, clearly knew as well. She stuttered, "… She… she’s currently in whose belly?!"
"She’s not anymore." Liang Yuchuan seemed even more shocked than the two of them, as if he couldn’t understand why they would ask such a silly question. "How could she really be reborn? The moment she left my light wings and was born into my uncle's belly, he would have killed her."
Yu Xunge and Zhao Shuying were momentarily left speechless, unsure whether to commend Liang Jing for being a good uncle or to first ask if the Liang family was worried about offending the Acorn lineage.
But before they could ask, Liang Yuchuan complained, "My family has been troubled lately. Both the Acorn and the Minotaurs are hunting us down. It’s so annoying; we can’t kill them fast enough."
Yu Xunge and Zhao Shuying exchanged glances at Liang Yuchuan's clearly delighted expression, both falling into deep thought...
The three of them, along with the dragon, once again stood before the dungeon's light curtain, each carrying 12 specific items.
As they took out the 11 specific items, they instantly floated around the light curtain, which shimmered in a light purple hue, as if fixed in a certain position.
Liang Yuchuan first pulled out a small bear cookie, but there was no reaction.
Then she directly produced a coffin containing a complete Acorn corpse. She cut off the massive wings, but still, there was no response.
