On the communication crystal, the figure of the Jade Grand Duke is displayed.

"Your Highness, that's the way it is!"

Inside the tent, Dean recounted in detail what he had encountered in the snowy forest.

"Siti ......"

A look of solemnity appeared on the face of the Jade Grand Duke, and she whispered to herself.

Compared with Gao Sai, who has a lot of dealings with jadeite, Xiti has always been very 'stubborn', and the extremely high taxes on outsiders make Xiti rarely go to outsiders.

Even for some necessary celebrations, emissaries were rarely sent.

Although the royal families have some contacts, the impression of Seti is still stuck in the body of the 'genius' King Setti.

As for the rest?

It's all well hidden by the brilliance of the king of Sitti.

And now, Sti suddenly took action.

Grand Duke Jade immediately had some guesses in his heart.

The claws of the beast become sharp, and they must be preyed on.

"I got it, I'll make arrangements!"

The Jade Grand Duke said.

After that, the communication was hastily interrupted.

And Dean was slightly relieved in his heart.

If killing a golden powerhouse of Hitty gives the war an extra chance of winning, then being able to remind the Jade Grand Duke openly is another chance of winning the war!

The chances of winning were originally less than 30%, but now they are at least 50%!

As long as they can resist King Setti......

Thinking of the invincible powerhouse in his memory, Dean couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The invincibility of the opponent is not self-proclaimed, but given by the enemy after one battle after another.

No one would question the invincible nature of King Sixti, who had been so powerful at the time that the entire Goddez trembled at the time that he had won the victory alone.

Because, the golden powerhouses he faced before and after him added up to more than single digits.

Although it is impossible to specify the number, Dean's guess is that there will be no less than thirteen to fifteen, and at least three of them will reach the 'domain' Cheng dù.

This kind of strength is beyond the reach of the current Dean.

Of course, King Setti is not at his peak now, and the Emerald Grand Duke is also uninjured.

This gave Dean a sense of peace of mind.

He was convinced that the Emerald Grand Duke could face King Setty head-on, and that he could be defeated.

Because if this were not the case, how could the arrogant King Seti send assassins.

"If King Sitti is dealt with by the Grand Duke, the remaining three Middle Nuel should not appear in the main battlefield, Mortich and Buren. Parker is bound to appear, and one of them is my opponent! ”

Dean thought silently, frowning.

Even if he had a Marquis of York on his side who could share one of them for him, the remaining one would be enough to give Dean a headache.

Because, for Mortich and Buren. Either of Parker's two, Dean is now unsure of victory.

These two veteran golds of Setty have already completed their own path and touched the 'domain', especially the hidden and quite good Mortig, Dean knows that the other party has completed the complete 'domain'.

Dean, who frowned, looked at the XP value, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

XP：20320

Enough XP is undoubtedly Dean's biggest reliance right now.

[Consumes 900XP, Heart Like Stopping Water Lv4→Lv8]

[The heart is like stopping water Lv8: Use the power of the mind to dominate the body; Special effects: 1. Spiegel: calm mind, able to clearly perceive vibrations within a radius of two kilometers (only when a certain range of vibrations is reached); 2, into the subtlety: better control of the body, consumption -20]

(Note: No special options)

Without hesitation, Dean chose to raise the level of [Heart Like Water].

This time, it's not about its [perception] effects, but because it can effectively reduce consumption.

The previous battle gave Dean a fairly direct understanding of the consumption of his energy value.

In the case of abundant energy, he can burst out with combat power that makes any gold level look sideways, but once the energy value is exhausted, his combat power is also a 'newly' gold level, even if it is a perfect metamorphosis Cheng Dù, he wants to face Mortich and Buren. Any one of Parker, is not enough to see.

Therefore, increasing the energy value became a must for Dean.

However, for such secret techniques, Dean did not dabble in them, and the root of the energy value is physique, perception, and will, the former he has reached a limit, and it is difficult to make progress in the short term, and the latter two also need the support of some secret techniques; Instead of choosing those secret techniques that take more time to master, it is far better to choose a ready-made [Heart is like stopping water].

What's more, [the heart is like stopping water. It's not just about reducing the amount of energy consumed, it's also about the body, and so on.

Moreover, before Lv8, [Heart Like Water] didn't require much XP - for Dean now.

As for the demand of 1000XP per level after Lv8, the current Dean gritted his teeth, and it can be bearable.

However, Dean has not improved for the time being.

One is that Lv8's [Heart Like Stopping Water] is enough for him to fully fight, and the other is that he also needs enough XP to improve other secret techniques and secret legends.

For example: [Flash] and [Quick Sword Technique] that has just been approved by the system!

[Quick Sword Technique Lv1: The secret swordsmanship of a certain school in the White Night, which can make the long sword as fast as lightning; Effect: Consumes 3 energy and gives +0.5 agility to the speed of the sword (only the speed of the sword, and the sword weapon must be used)]

(Note: When the practitioner has the arcane skill [Flash], the XP required for the same level of [Quick Sword Technique] will be reduced by half)

"In the same vein!"

Dean glanced at the special markings of the [Quick Sword Technique], and such a thought resurfaced in his mind.

Originally, the [Quick Sword Technique] that required 6000XP from Lv1 → Lv13 only required half, and 3000XP value was enough.

The premise is that you can't exceed the level of [Flash], or increase Flash to Lv13 as well.

Changing [Flash] from Lv8 → Lv13 requires 6300XP.

The last level of Lv12 → Lv13 requires 3000 XP.

"Requires a total of 9300XP ......"

Dean groaned slightly.

However, after a few moments, the decision was made.

His current agility is undoubtedly his shortcoming, especially in the opening of the [Shanlan. The power of the mountain], he couldn't make the choice of [Lan Zhixun] at the same time, otherwise he would have to give up the advantage in strength.

Therefore, agile change is a must.

Especially when encountering this kind of secret art and secret transmission that can reduce XP value but the effect does not change, Dean does not think that he should let it go.

[Consumes 6300XP, Flash Lv8→ Lv13]

[Flash Lv13: Evolved from the basic swordsmanship of a certain school of White Night; Effect: Consumes 5 energy to perform three acceleration periods with no more than 1 second interval, the first agility +4.00, the second agility +4.50, and the third agility +3.0 (the third increase in agility is a constant value and cannot be changed) (acceleration must be completed within the interval, after which it will be invalidated.) ）】

(Note 1: +0.25 Agility for Special Option)

(Note 2: +0.25 Agility for Special Option)

(Note 3: +0.25 Agility for Special Option)

(Note 4: +0.25 Agility for Special Option)

[Consumes 3000XP Points, Quick Sword Skill Lv1→Lv13]

[Quick Sword Technique Lv13: A secret swordsmanship of a certain school in the White Night, which can make the long sword as fast as lightning; Effect: Consumes 3 energy and grants dexterity +7.0 to the speed of the sword (only the speed of the sword, and sword weapons must be used) for 1 second.

(Note 1: +0.125 Agility for the special option)

(Note 2: +0.125 agility for the special option)

(Note 3: +0.125 Agility for the special option)

(Note 4: +0.125 Agility for the special option)

……

The cost of 9300XP has brought a drastic change to Dean's agility.

Once [Flash Lv13] is activated, it accumulates an increase in agility of 11.5, which is undoubtedly double for Dean, who has only 11.59 agility.

The constant value of the third agility increase appears when [Flash] is increased to Lv13.

Undoubtedly, this is the reason why at Lv12 → Lv13, the demand for XP suddenly increases.

And the [Quick Sword Technique] did not disappoint Dean either.

For Dean, a former Assassin, he knew the advantages of being quick.

Someone else's sword is drawn, and your sword has pierced the opponent's throat.

In a sense, this was also the pursuit of the Assassins.

The compensation of [agility] made Dean breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

It's not constant, but it's fundamentally changed.

Then his gaze turned to the secret technique that Elder Dan had given him earlier that might help the 'Dragon Soul' grow.

The parchment scrolls, written in barbarian script, made it a little difficult for Dean to read.

However, it did not cause difficulties in the real sense.

And after reading through the parchment scroll thoroughly, Dean sighed irrepressibly.

This secret technique, as Elder Dan said, can indeed help the 'Dragon Soul' grow, but there is a premise that this 'Dragon Soul' must not be those in the Demon Dragon Prison.

The 'beast soul' of the barbarians is a gift from the ancestors.

Those 'beast souls' are their ancestors' partners and comrades-in-arms, and after dying of old age and war, they are transformed into 'beast souls' in a special way, and they are passed down from generation to generation.

And in this generation, the barbarians have figured out the secret of making the 'beast soul' strong and giving back to themselves.

That's what Dean's parchment scroll recorded.

Without exception, these 'beast souls' all have one characteristic: trust!

Trust in the owner.

Just like a tiger, the fierce beast that raised him as a child by coincidence, has the ultimate trust in the tiger, and can fight to the death for the tiger in the face of human encirclement.

Therefore, the tiger is able to fuse the [Fierce Tiger Formation Technique] with the 'Beast Soul'.

But he couldn't.

Because, Dean knows very well what kind of relationship he has with the dragons in the 'Prison of the Dragon'.

Soul union is absolutely impossible!

At most, it's just a share of interests!

And in such a situation, this secret technique is obviously not suitable for him.

"It's a pity!"

Dean muttered softly.
