Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

Based on the effects of this combination of relics, Chu Yang decided to teach Hong Niang another healing skill.

He found a group healing skill among a bunch of purple skill books.

"Healing Ring - Purple" - Heals all targets within a 10-meter radius for 5 * Spirit Points. Excess healing is converted into a shield effect. Skill cooldown is 15 seconds.

This skill has two advantages: it's a group heal and it has a short cooldown.

The group healing ability, combined with the [All-Round Healer], is equivalent to granting the entire team a 40% increase in damage, damage reduction, attack speed, and movement speed!

With short skill cooldowns, it can be combined with the effects of the second and first effects of the combined relics to frequently refresh the skill cooldowns of the healed target.

The matchmaker currently possesses the following five skills: "Knot of Love (Purple)," "Red Unseen (Purple)," "Fan Step (Pink)," "Love Suicide Pact (Pink)," and "Soul Chain (Pink)."

Chu Yang rarely uses the control skill "Red Unseen," and its effect is relatively small.

Therefore, Chu Yang replaced "Red Unseen" with "The Ring of Healing: Purple".

By this point, Chu Yang had only seen about a quarter of the purple items.

Because his rest time in the safe zone was almost up, he had to stop organizing his belongings.

Besides the items from the treasure chests, before entering the safe zone, Chu Yang also used the [Myriad Races Compendium] to copy Xuan Zheng's character card.

【Spirit Clan - Xuanzheng - Pink】

This character card is of pink epic quality, and its talents and skills are quite good.

However, it was not suitable for Chu Yang.

Therefore, he was still using the Golden Wheel King's talents and skills.

As the countdown to the safe zone closing began, Chu Yang walked towards the final [BOSS Gate] of the second-tier gate domain!

"【Spirit Race - Second-Tier Gate Domain (13/13)】"

"Pass condition: Defend Yuyang City for seven days."

Chu Yang opened his eyes and found himself standing on the city wall of Yuyang City.

Yuyang City is one of the sixteen main cities of the human race in the Lingyuan Realm, and it is also the main city closest to the Artifact Spirit Race.

The city walls of this city are incredibly tall.

If this were ancient times on Earth, Chu Yang believed that such a city would absolutely make all attacking forces feel despair.

Because the city walls are nearly 100 meters high and stretch as far as the eye can see.

The number of soldiers stationed on the city walls alone was in the tens of thousands.

Among these tens of thousands of people, there are hundreds of people who push open the door.

Like Chu Yang, they leaned against the city wall, gazing into the distance, trying to detect the enemy's presence.

However, there was not a single trace of an enemy outside the city walls and in front of the moat.

Chu Yang preferred attacking a city to defending it.

Because the objective of the siege is clear, and what he needs to do is destroy the target.

In Chu Yang's view, this was a very simple matter.

It's much simpler than waiting for the enemy to appear.

Just when everyone who pushed the door open, including Chu Yang himself, thought that the battle to defend the city would not officially begin for quite some time,

A spirit riding a flying sword appeared in front of Yuyang City.

Yes, only one spirit appeared.

Chu Yang was extremely familiar with what this artifact spirit was supposed to do.

The spirit was floating above the moat, more than 500 meters from the city wall.

He made a sword incantation with his left hand, and then thousands of flying swords flew out from his chest.

These thousands of flying swords transformed into an enormous sword dragon, flying towards Yuyang City, and then collided with the city's protective formation.

He attacked the city!

On the city wall, hundreds of rune cannons, under some unknown command, simultaneously fired at the sole spirit before them.

However, this barrage of a hundred cannons, which was enough to easily destroy a square of ten thousand people, was blocked by the huge sword shield formed by the thousands of longswords newly summoned by the weapon spirit!

Along with the sword and shield, various ranged attacks from the city walls were also blocked.

Long swords continuously flew out from within the spirit's body.

Some formed a sword and shield to protect themselves, while others merged with the sword dragon to continue attacking the city's defensive formation.

When the number of swords condensed by that sword dragon exceeded ten thousand, the entire Jade Sun City suddenly shook.

The city's protective formation has been breached!

Every major city of the human race is protected by a defensive array built by the academy, and these arrays have extremely strong defensive capabilities.

However, this city-protecting array, renowned for its defensive capabilities, only lasted for less than ten minutes in the face of this artifact spirit's attack!

The enormous sword dragon broke through the city's protective formation and then charged towards the defenders on the city wall.

Just as Chu Yang was about to take to the air and meet the spirit of the artifact, someone else rushed out before him.

He recognized this person, but his appearance surprised Chu Yang greatly.

[The Lord of the Dark River?! What's with the Dark River's spies here?]

Just as Chu Yang had this question in mind, a familiar voice appeared in his mind.

"This artifact spirit is a prodigy of the Artifact Spirit Clan in the Spirit Abyss Realm, named Wan Jian. We, the Dark River Clan, came here specifically for him!"

"Rain and dew?"

Chu Yang turned around and saw the beautiful female agent again.

For Chu Yang, it had only been a day since he last saw Yu Lu.

But in Yu Lu's eyes, Chu Yang had been gone for more than a year.

"It's been over a year since we last met... When I discovered that the coordinates of that small world had reappeared, I knew you must be here for this mission as well."

Chu Yang smiled at Yu Lu, then suddenly asked, "What was this 'prodigy' you were talking about earlier?"

Yu Lu had an "I knew it" expression on her face: "You people who pushed the door really have no common sense at all... The so-called genius refers to an invincible being of the same level, possessing near-invincible defense and the ability to easily kill those of the same level."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang casually remarked, "Aren't you describing me?"

Surprisingly, Yu Lu did not refute: "You are indeed a prodigy, and many people in the human race have already acknowledged this."

Chu Yang looked at the Lord of the Dark River who had suddenly appeared in the sky and asked, "Since you say that all the geniuses of your level are invincible, why don't you seem worried about your master?"

Yu Lu smiled mysteriously: "Who told you that we adults are at the Spirit Abyss Realm?"
