"Brother, if I'm not a sage, how are we supposed to get over this barrier wall?"

Lu Cang replied, "The Black Dragon Token we obtained at Moka Volcano can also help us pass that checkpoint."

"Oh, I see." Bai Lu's tone was somewhat disappointed.

Bai Lu thought that this time they couldn't do without her, but she didn't expect that her brother had already made preparations.

Bai Lu's identity as a sage was indeed something Lu Cang hadn't expected.

The Yeti and Goblin Legacy dungeons were somewhat unexpected events.

Therefore, Lu Cang had already planned the route through the checkpoints beforehand. Fighting the Black Dragon was not only for the Adamantite Forge and Zul'Aman, but also for passing through the Wall of Separation.

"However, it's much more convenient with you around, Sage."

"Tch." Bai Lu turned her face away.

He then made fun of himself.

After passing through the city wall and trekking for about half an hour, the group finally arrived at the first city behind the wall. Even from a distance, one could feel the vastness of this city, which looked much larger than Maple City.

Maple City is already considered a very large city, but this city is much larger than Maple City.

Once inside the city, one can easily sense its prosperity.

After entering the city, Lu Cang instructed everyone, "This is a multi-race united city-state, and you cannot fight inside the city."

What would happen if we took action?

"Hmm... guards will come after us, which will be troublesome. If things get out of hand, we might have to massacre the entire city," Lu Cang replied calmly.

Leng Qingying's eyes twitched slightly as she stood to the side.

Shouldn't you be thinking about escaping? Why is your first reaction to massacre the entire city?

"So we have to fight outside the city?"

"Well, if someone provokes us, we can fight back, but it's best not to kill indiscriminately. The situation here is different from outside."

“These races have reached a consensus that can be considered a cooperative relationship of non-interference. Killing people without reason will lead to some trouble. Although it is not an insurmountable problem, it is never good to get into trouble. If you can avoid it, then don’t.” Lu Cang explained.

"In other words, you can kill anyone if you have a reason." Bai Lu stroked his chin and nodded affirmatively.

Lu Cang did not deny it, but praised, "Yes, that's right, we must be reasonable."

Inside the Trial City, countless races come and go.

On the street, some muscular, tall minotaurs looked at Lu Cang and his group.

"Humans?"

"I never expected to see a human here, it's really rare."

"So even lower-ranking races have made it this far? Looks like this is going to be interesting! Moo!"

The White Deer and their companions had a great deal of curiosity about these races.

"These minotaurs can actually moo!" Bai Lu exclaimed in surprise.

Why aren't minotaurs considered orcs?

"Well, that's a complicated matter, but to be honest, humans and beastmen are actually more alike than minotaurs and orcs," Lu Cang replied.

After all, the minotaurs' solid, bulging muscles and their muscular build averaging 2.5 meters tall are quite different from the common orcs we've seen so far. On the contrary, orcs with less obvious beast-like physical characteristics are actually very similar to humans.

However, their immediate task is to find the guild administrator and settle down in this city.

Fortunately, public NPCs are not difficult to find in most cases, and soon the group arrived at the city's public square and saw the guild administrator.

"Deliver the challenge mission. Zuya stays behind, and the rest of you go and take on the awakening mission."

At level 60, you can now undergo job awakening.

This is what is commonly known as a nap.

After completing the first awakening, you can level up to a higher level, gain more powerful class specialization abilities, obtain a super cool and powerful awakening skill, and also get an even cooler class title, such as the fearless and invincible End Sword Emperor.

It can be said that falling asleep is an inevitable path for every player.

The difference in combat power before and after waking up is like night and day.

After Lu Cang gave the order, Bai Lu and the others also began to hand over their own challenge tasks.

[Challenge Task Delivery]

You have completed the guild challenge quest – defeat two of the strongest warriors of different races.

[Challenge Completed: Capture a city in the name of your guild]

[Task Reward: 20 Skill Points]

[Challenge Mission Rewards: Skill Core (Any) x5, Skill Star-Up Scroll x2, Equipment Enhancement Rune (100%) x1]

-------------------------------------

The rewards for this challenge are all related to skills.

Skill Upgrade Scrolls offer a simple and direct effect, instantly upgrading a skill by one star.

The only limitation is that an eight-star skill can only be used once, and a seven-star skill cannot be upgraded to nine stars by using the skill upgrade scroll twice in a row.

Skill Core (Any) also has a simple and straightforward effect: it can directly upgrade any skill by one level, such as from LV:1 to LV:2.

If used on a nine-star skill, one skill core is equivalent to nine skill points.

Skill points are extremely expensive in the Fantasy Realm, especially for upgrading star-level skills. To upgrade a nine-star skill to LV:11 and obtain the final enhancement, you need 99 skill points, which is equivalent to all the skill points required to upgrade from level 1 to level 99.

Of course, this excludes overpowered classes like the All-Rounder who have an excessive number of skill points.

The brave warrior finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting back 20 skill points. He had previously spent 24 skill points on the academic genius, which had pained him greatly.

As for skill cores and star-up scrolls, they should be kept for now. In Lu Cang's words, they should be buried for later use. Using star-up scrolls without eight-star skills would be a waste. As for skill cores, they should be used wisely to upgrade nine-star skills.

One crystal core is equivalent to nine skill points, which is incredibly satisfying.

If nothing unexpected happens, Brave Warrior should be the first in the team to obtain a nine-star skill.

Because his innate ability comes with a star-up effect, once he learns a seven-star skill, he can directly use a star-up scroll to reach nine stars. With the nine-star skill plus the high attribute of the Brave Warrior, his main goal is to kill anyone he cuts with absolute violence.

It will be a bit more troublesome for other members of the guild to get nine-star skills, since eight-star skills are much harder to obtain than seven-star skills.

In the illusory world, each higher star represents an extremely difficult chasm to overcome.

This means that the benefits of the "Fearless Warrior" talent will increase as time goes on.

There is also an equipment enhancement rune (100%), which guarantees a 100% success rate for the next equipment enhancement.

Yes, it's good stuff too.

After all, the probability of successful enhancement decreases as you progress. Platinum level is okay, but at the higher Crystal level, without special methods, you might go bankrupt and exhaust the power of your entire race without success.

For equipment levels beyond that... it's no longer a matter of resources for just one race; we need to start considering whether the world's resources are sufficient.

Meanwhile, Zuya was also completing a mission, but its mission was somewhat special.

The challenge mission was completed, along with other additional side missions.

Because of Lu Cang's talent, Zuya will receive extra tasks when entering the guild to accept missions. Completing these extra tasks will allow it to obtain the previous rewards.

[Achieve first kills of at least 10 Nightmare difficulty dungeons, with a completion time of under 10 minutes - Completed]

[Participate in the kill of at least two world bosses, and have your team deliver the final blow]

These are the two additional challenges that Zuya faces, tasks that were completed during the journey and now only need to be delivered.

The world bosses were just two gifts from the goblins, so there was no need for Lu Cang and the others to go looking for them.

[You have obtained the opportunity to select gold equipment, you have obtained the opportunity to select exclusive equipment, you have obtained the unique class selection book...]

A series of prompts popped up in front of Zuya.

It's not just Zuya.

Leng Qingying also got another chance to choose her own [exclusive equipment].
