[Phoenix Power: Increase the attributes of all soldiers within a thousand meters by 300%. Additional fire attribute attack, attack power increased by 100%.]

This skill was basically a mutated version of the [Saint Beast Totem]. Although the effect was not as powerful as the [Saint Beast Totem], this was a mutated beast skill, so it did not need to consume the lord’s energy.

In addition, the [Blazing Golden Crow] could activate the [Crimson Earth Thousand Miles] to recover energy. It was simply a walking “combat strength amplifier”!

“I’ve profited! I’ve really profited this time!”

Wang Xiao cheered excitedly and danced like a child who had obtained his favorite toy.

Although Zhou Xiruo was also very happy, when she saw Wang Xiao lose his composure, she could not help but tease, “Do you have to be so happy? The effect of this skill is only targeted at fire-type soldiers. It doesn’t seem to be that powerful, right?”

“This is what you don’t understand, right?”

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “Let me ask you, can soldiers release two skills at the same time?”

“They can’t.”

Zhou Xiruo shook her head without thinking. This had been confirmed hundreds of years ago, so many lords kept training with their soldiers to shorten the time between the two skills.

“Let me ask you again. Can lords release two lord skills at the same time?”

Zhou Xiruo thought for a moment this time. “It’s fine if it’s paired with a skill card, but if it’s two lord skills, they can’t release them at the same time.”

“It seems like you’ve been paying attention in class recently!”

Wang Xiao looked at Zhou Xiruo in admiration and smiled mysteriously. “Can lords and soldiers release their skills at the same time?”

“Do you even need to ask? Of course…”

Before she could say “they can”, Zhou Xiruo’s expression suddenly changed. “I understand! Your [Saint Beast Totem] is also an enhancement skill. It can increase the attributes of your soldiers by 500%. Coupled with the [Phoenix Power], it’s 800%!”

“No, no, no. That’s not how it is calculated.”

Wang Xiao smiled evilly and shook his finger. “If I delay for a second before activating the [Sacred Beast Totem] after the [Blazing Golden Crow] activates the [Phoenix Power]…’

“[Phoenix Power] increases by 300%, [Holy Beast Totem] increases by 500%. ”

Zhou Xiruo counted with her fingers for a moment and suddenly revealed a shocked expression. “A 1,500% increase?!”

“That’s right!”

Wang Xiao clapped his hands. “How is it? Did we make a killing this time?”

Zhou Xiruo did not speak because she was already so shocked that she could not speak.

For example, Wang Xiao’s commonly used [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf]. If the initial attack power of the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] was 1,000, after two enhancements, it would become 15,000!

This was no longer a “qualitative leap”. This was simply reaching the heavens in a single step!

Even if the [Phoenix Power] was only targeted at fire-type mutated beasts,

Wang Xiao still had the level three gold-level [Lava Raging Bear] and the level

six platinum-level [Volcanic Melting Lizard]. Any one of them would be an existence that would make everyone tremble after being enhanced by 15 times!

o

However, this was not the most terrifying thing.

After Wang Xiao saw the effect of the [Phoenix Power], he almost immediately thought of the strategy of “two enhancements”. Was this really the brain of a human?

After recovering from her shock, Zhou Xiruo looked at Wang Xiao with a

complicated expression. “Compared to the 15 times increase, I still think you’re more terrifying… I’ve really profited greatly to be able to become your vassal lord!”

“Don’t praise me like that. You’re raising my ego.”

Wang Xiao made a shy expression. Before Zhou Xiruo could feel nauseous, he continued with a serious expression, “However, you’re right about one thing. The [Phoenix Power] is only targeted at fire-type mutated beasts. Therefore, our next goal is to help the [Lava Raging Bear] break through.”

Although the strength of the Raging Lava Bear was also very strong, it was only gold level level three after all. It was very difficult to maximize the effect of the “15x attribute enhancement”.

Zhou Xiruo nodded in agreement, but she revealed a difficult expression. “But what about the materials? The Raging Lava Bear is a dual-attribute mutated beast. The materials needed to break through might be more than the Blazing Golden Crow. ”

“Don’t worry about that.”

Wang Xiao smiled disapprovingly. “Now that I already have three platinum-quality mutated beasts, there’s no need to be too anxious about the breakthrough of the Raging Lava Bear. Just pay attention to collecting them when you have the chance.”

Zhou Xiruo nodded and accidentally saw the Blazing Golden Crow trying its best to bury itself back in the soil. She immediately couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems to like to bury itself. It won’t evolve into a fire and earth attribute mutated beast in the future, right?”

“I think it should be fire and wind attributes. After all, the [Blazing Golden

Crow] originally has some characteristics of wind attribute mutated beasts.”

Wang Xiao replied casually. After thinking for a moment, he changed his words and said, “But that’s not necessarily the case. There’s a large number of ores in the breakthrough materials for the [Blazing Golden Crow] this time. It might even develop the metal attribute.”

Zhou Xiruo shook her head and objected. Then, the two of them began to argue. However, this kind of thing was subjective speculation to begin with, so naturally, neither of them could convince the other.

In the end, it was only when Wang Xiao took the initiative to surrender that this argument finally came to an end. However, it was not because he was a gentleman, but because he suddenly remembered that he still had 30,000 words of battle comprehension to write.

After leaving the territory, Wang Xiao immediately bent down in front of the table and wrote quickly. After a month of “diligent learning and hard work’, it was already easy for him to write battle comprehension.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo arrived at Yuheng Academy early and waited for Tian Gang at the door.

“Teacher Tian.”

Wang Xiao went forward and greeted him. Then, he took out a thick stack of paper. “This is yesterday’s homework, 30,000 words of combat comprehension.”

Tian Gang reached out to take it. Wang Xiao opened the trash can at the side, but this time, Tian Gang did not throw it away. Instead, he placed it in his bag.

Wang Xiao was stunned, but Tian Gang did not explain. After putting it away, he waved his hand and gestured for the two of them to follow.

When he arrived at the office, Tian Gang made himself a cup of tea first. Then, he pointed at the file cabinet in the corner and said to Wang Xiao, “Go and open

that cabinet.”

Wang Xiao did not know what was going on, but he still listened obediently. However, as soon as he opened the cabinet, he was stunned. It was filled with his battle comprehension!

“Teacher Tian, what’s going on?”

Wang Xiao turned around and looked at Tian Gang. “Didn’t you already throw these things away?”

“I did that for you to see. Actually, I’ve carefully read the battle comprehension you wrote.”

As Tian Gang spoke, he took off his glasses and pinched the space between his eyebrows. He sighed and said, “It’s basically nonsense.”

Zhou Xiruo burst out laughing. Wang Xiao could not help but laugh too. Although Tian Gang’s comments were not pleasant, he also knew what he had written.

After laughing involuntarily for a while, Wang Xiao revealed a puzzled expression. “But I still don’t understand. Weren’t you doing this to take revenge on me?”

“I’ve never thought of taking revenge on you in such a childish way. I didn’t intend to confess all of this to you, but something strange has happened recently that forced me to temporarily ease the tension between you and me.”

Tian Gang put on his glasses again and looked at Wang Xiao with a burning gaze. ‘My brother is missing..”
