The mission was not over yet, but Tang Shidao felt that it was already over.
Now that he had reached this point, the results were not important anymore. Suddenly, Tang Shidao felt a sense of pride that he had never felt before. He had beaten Lua in this race, which meant that he had beaten his old self.
It was simple.
Down to earth.
He had beaten the real protagonist of his life as a side character!
His wish had been fulfilled.
Tang Shidao left Rocky Mountain City for some fresh air and asked Lua's parents about what had happened recently.
"Sir, you have been meditating for thirteen years. Because of your ten thousand Flying Dragon's protection, there have been no major disasters in the Void Rift. The king is very grateful for your help, and the citizens are also very grateful for your protection. Some magic academies have invited you to give lectures, but I know you are not interested, so I did not disturb you. "
"Uncle, are you worried about Lua? Don't worry, he will succeed. Lua will definitely be stronger than me. If there is nothing else, I will continue meditating and wait for Lua's return. "Tang Shidao did not beat around the bush.
He knew what Lua's father was worried about: that his son was already dead.
His status had changed greatly, but his power had not increased by much.
If he did not have protection …
Haha, he could end up in a worse state at any time.
"Do as you wish, sir. If you need anything, please let us know. This is also the king's wish."
"Mm."
Tang Shidao returned to Rocky Mountain City and continued meditating. He could not increase his power in this mission, but he could improve his academic level and research experience. Three years passed as he meditated in silence. Tang Shidao suddenly received news from Lua.
The live broadcast began again.
The difference was …
The Lua in front of him was different. He felt like he was' close to a god '. It was as if he was no longer a human sorcerer, but had stepped into the realm of gods. For a moment, Tang Shidao felt like he had seen his old self … that otherworldly appearance.
"Tang, I did it." Lua was very excited.
"I can see that."
"The Saint Realm. So this is the Saint Realm … Haha, I'm sorry, Tang. I need to calm myself down before I can organize my thoughts. I will tell you later … "
"Lui, there's no need."
"What's wrong?" Lü A could see that Tang Shidao was no different from before. He was still stuck at this limit.
"It's fine, Lui. It's just that I don't really want to listen to it. I feel like I can also succeed if I work hard. By the way, can I tell you about the newly created spell? "
"Of course, Don. It's called Ancestral Summoning … "Lu 'a didn't hide anything and slowly explained his new spell.
Tang Shidao just listened quietly.
He knew that Lu A wasn't being careless or overly trusting. This was the confidence of a Saint Realm sorcerer.
At this point, he had already gained a firm foothold.
Upon hearing Lu 'a's words, Tang Shidao compared it to his own Ancestral Summoning. Strictly speaking, Ancestral Summoning was not a physical summon, but an additional effect. In addition to doubling the amount of mana used to increase the power of ordinary summoned beasts, they could also derive spells to create stronger individuals.
What was the additional effect of Ancestral Summoning?
It directly strengthened the spell itself!
If the Wolf Summoning spell was divided into the ranks of Ordinary Wolf, Elite Wolf, Leader Wolf, Wolf King, Ancient Wolf King, and Ancestral Wolf King, using the additional effect of Ancestral Summoning could summon the Ancestral Wolf King.
Did it have to be the Ancestral Wolf King?
Not really!
The additional effect of Ancestral Summoning was equivalent to a 'critical hit rate'.
As long as it was slightly successful, the Ordinary Wolf would become an Elite Wolf. The highest effect would be the Ancestral Wolf King. At this point, Tang Shidao felt that it was already good enough that he could summon the Wolf King. The Ancestral Wolf King couldn't reach that level for now.
"Don, I still need to cultivate for a while. Help me continue to research and try to increase the success rate of Ancestral Summoning. "
"Lui, don't you plan to save Kirana?"
"I've been here for fifteen years. There must be powerful opponents hiding outside the labyrinth. They might even be Saint Realm sorcerers. I can't take the risk, Don. I have to make sure that I can kill them successfully. Even if I can't, I have to escape safely. "Lu 'a had" lost "once, but his brilliance as the protagonist of his life had not diminished.
"Okay, I'll help you." Tang Shidao didn't have any objections.
At this point in the plot, it was probably going to end soon.
The Lu 'a in the timeline was definitely not dead, but Kirana was definitely dead. Therefore, this was Lu 'a's regret, and also the reason why he left behind the mission.
Next.
Lu 'a spent every day cultivating, while Tang Shidao continued to research.
Slowly.
The 'positions' of both parties changed. At the beginning of the mission, Tang Shidao had the power, but not the knowledge. Now, Lu 'a had the power, but gradually let go of the knowledge aspect and handed it over to Tang Shidao bit by bit. A few months, a few years. In the end, Lu 'a decided not to participate in the research. He only talked about his own cultivation experience, and then let Tang Shidao research new breakthroughs.
It had to be said.
When Lu 'a focused on cultivation, he quickly went from a First Ring sorcerer to a Second Ring sorcerer, and then from a Second Ring sorcerer to a Third Ring sorcerer.
This kind of rapid growth was very suitable for the script of a 'protagonist'.
However, Tang Shidao was slightly disappointed.
Because … Lu 'a's' knowledge 'was far inferior to his!
In the past, when he was still in the fourth grade of elementary school, Lu 'a was already in the third year of high school. When he entered junior high school, Lu 'a was already in the first year of university. Now, he had worked hard to get a 'doctorate', but Lu 'a hadn't graduated from university.
Tang Shidao believed that his cultivation hindered his research. However, this also meant that Lu 'a's' growth 'had slowed down.
For some reason, Tang Shidao suddenly thought of the story of the tortoise and the hare.
On the other side.
Lu 'a didn't feel that anything was wrong. His power had soared, far surpassing Tang Shidao's by dozens of times. He also felt that it was strange. Why was Tang Shidao, who was so good at research, stuck under the Saint Realm and unable to advance?
"Tang, I think I'm ready." After more than ten years, Lu 'a was even more like a god.
He waved his hand, and an ocean-like army of summoned beasts appeared in front of him.
At this moment, he had completely surpassed the level of the liches.
"Lu, I want to ask you to be careful of something."
"Oh?" Lu 'a didn't feel that he needed to be careful of anything. Those liches were already like ants.
"I hope you won't go too far. I hope I'm wrong. I think one of the opponents you're about to face might be Kylana. If she's thrown into the labyrinth and doesn't die, she might be controlled by the liches and become a warrior. "Tang Shidao reminded him.
"…" Lu 'a didn't say anything.
Then.
He was silent for a whole day.
"Tang, thank you. I've decided not to break out for now. Help me for another year? "Lu 'a said seriously.
"Of course, we're friends."
"Mm, we're friends." Lu 'a smiled.
In the following year, Lu 'a once again displayed his ability as the main character of his life. He worked hard to learn a spell that had appeared before: Summoning of the Divine Coffin! This wasn't the only spell. It had appeared in history before, and was also part of the Million Divine Curses. Lu 'a hadn't learned it before, and neither had Tang Shidao. The two of them worked together to create this spell with their own perseverance.
"You deserve at least seventy percent of the credit." A year later, Lu 'a succeeded.
"You've also provided a lot of ideas." Tang Shidao didn't try to be humble because he did deserve seventy percent of the credit. He could even say that he learned Summoning of the Divine Coffin earlier than Lu 'a. It was just that he couldn't use it due to the restrictions of the mission.
Lu 'a's goal was achieved.
After that.
Naturally, he rushed out of the labyrinth and beat up the liches. As Tang Shidao expected, one of the liches' strongest death knights was Kylana! Because Lu 'a didn't attack with all his might, Kylana wasn't killed by the summoned army. However, Lu 'a couldn't' save 'Kylana at the moment. He could only use Summoning of the Divine Coffin to seal her.
"Tang, is there a way to save her?" Lu 'a was used to asking questions like this.
"I'm not sure. I think the mutated life stone will work." Tang Shidao had been an Answer Solver all these years.
"Looks like I can't go back for now. Tang, will you still help me? "
"Mm, until I see your wedding with Kylana. Don't worry, I'll help you as I cultivate. If there's a chance, I'll immediately break through to the Saint Realm. No worries. "
"Thank you, Tang."
"Later, I'm going to invite your parents and the nobles of the Divine Vulture. Just make an image and show your face. Your family will be safe and sound. "Tang Shidao knew that this was a small matter, but some small things couldn't be avoided.
Of course, Lu 'a agreed.
Soon.
The King and nobles of the Divine Condor Country "saw" Lu 'a who was in the Saint Realm and knew the story of the female general Kylana.
With this appearance, Lu 'a's family was completely stabilized.
After that.
The story once again returned to Lu 'a's travel livestream. Tang Shidao continued to work hard to increase the success rate of the ancestor's summoning. One side cultivated power, the other studied knowledge. On a certain day six years later, suddenly, a tribe of mutants who feared Lu 'a's power offered a mutated life stone, hoping that Lu' a would not invade their home.
Tang Shidao wasn't too surprised.
The plot after the Battle of the Liches was unprecedented in history. It wasn't surprising that there were changes.
Four months later.
Lu 'a returned with Kylana.
On the third day of their return, the two held a grand wedding. When Tang Shidao saw this, he knew that the mission story was about to end.
"I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time, Tang. You're going to leave and prepare for your Saint Realm Trial? "
"It's okay, Lu. I've learned a lot from you."
"Ha, I didn't teach you anything. I believe you'll succeed. Tang, remember to come back and find me. "Lu 'a smiled and said goodbye.
Tang Shidao only smiled and didn't say anything.
Once the mission was over, there would be no chance for them to meet again.
His mind left.
Tang Shidao felt countless energy dissipating around him. At the same time, there was a sense of time disorientation. When he opened his eyes again, Madam Dark Cloud was right in front of him, looking at him with slight surprise. Behind him, the black energy planet disappeared. The mission location no longer existed.
At this time, Tang Shidao felt that he didn't receive any "prizes".
Everything ended just like that.
"How long has it been?"
"Less than a hundred days," Madam Dark Cloud replied. Then, she said, "Tang, you don't seem to have gained anything … That's strange, the mission location disappeared."
"No, there is." Tang Shidao knew why the people before him failed.
There was no prize for this mission.
There was only learning!
From the time he entered to the time he came out, he added three spells: Double Fireball, Ancestral Summoning, and Divine Coffin Summoning. Ancestral Summoning was the prize for this mission, but it wasn't "picked up" after completing the mission. It needed to be "learned" from the mission.
What was the difference between him and the other failed mages?
He surpassed the main character of the story, Lu 'a. He didn't wait for Lu' a's inheritance. He harvested this prize with his own efforts.
"Tang, if you need some rewards …"
"No need, Madam Dark Cloud. I've really gained a lot. Thank you for your invitation. I've had an unforgettable trip. "Tang Shidao refused with a smile. This time, his gains were far beyond anyone's imagination.
Seeing that Tang Shidao was about to leave.
Suddenly.
Madam Dark Cloud added, "Tang, if you want to ascend to the Saint Realm, it's best to go to the nice guy's academy to cultivate. At the very least, you need to understand what the Saint Realm is. "
