Alone and Infinite

Li Xia lowered his head and coughed twice, feeling that Aowu had the potential to become a main tank in the future.

On the other side, Black Charcoal and Bubu were even more outrageous; the cat and dog were having a conversation without any problems.

The husky seems to be teaching the black charcoal some special skills.

Seeing the black charcoal nodding repeatedly, it was clear that he had gained a lot.

Li Xia lowered her eyes and took another sip of the sweet tea.

When they looked at Black Charcoal again, they found that both the cat and the dog had disappeared.

Ok?

Undeterred, I looked around again, but still found nothing.

However, the soul connection indicated that Black Charcoal was still nearby.

Curiosity led me to seek out the source of that spiritual resonance.

Li Xia almost spat out his water.

Suddenly, Black Charcoal appeared at the cashier, squatted on the table, and raised one paw.

It was making extremely mechanical waving gestures.

A very realistic cosplay of a lucky cat!

If it weren't for a soul connection, you really wouldn't be able to tell!

But what about the husky?

Perhaps realizing that Li Xia was looking for him, Hei Tan meowed shyly at his master.

Just then, the shadow next to the cashier suddenly moved.

Li Xia's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; that dog had actually been there the whole time!

However, it cleverly utilized the color scheme of its fur, along with extremely difficult movements, to perfectly overlap with the light and shadow.

They've merged together!

"Meow!"

Black Charcoal called out in the team chat, sharing a notification from the Temple of Light:

You have received a skill transmission from a higher being.

Your skill 'Concealed Defense' has been upgraded.

[Concealed Defense Skill (Passive): Blends into the environment, greatly reducing presence and the chance of being detected by monsters. When hit, reduces hitstun by 60%.]

[Current number of concealment methods: 82]

Li Xia:

This skill is quite useful for reconnaissance, but the key problem is...

I've never considered charcoal as a scout; its role is more of an auxiliary one.

Furthermore, there are plans to enhance the strength of the character in the future, at least to have a sub-DPS, so as to ensure their own safety and supplement their damage output.

"This kitten is very quick to learn; the skills Bubu taught it are not something that most people could learn."

Bai Xiao's voice suddenly came through; he had finished reminiscing.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and continued the previous topic:

"The Old Gods are very strong, extremely strong, but if you can kill an Old God, the rewards will be very rich."

Legend has it that these ancient gods were once deities, but were dethroned.

Bai Xiao scoffed: "They're really just a bunch of pathetic bastards."

Silence fell in the room again. After a long while, Bai Xiao sighed and said:

"Actually, there's not much I can tell you; it's mostly just my experience."

When facing the Old Gods, the most important thing is not to be afraid. Any monster will die if you are killed!

Li Xia pondered for a moment, then a flash of inspiration struck him:

"So, that's why you told me before that finishing power is important?"

Bai Xiao was taken aback: "That's just one of the reasons. At your pace, you should be able to reach the fourth level soon, and then you'll know for sure."

"it is good."

Li Xia nodded:

"Thank you."

The lid of the reinforced compartment, shaped like a coffin, suddenly slid open upwards.

The hissing sound of pressure release was accompanied by a large amount of water vapor gushing out.

"Snapped"

A slender hand rested on the edge of the enhancement chamber, and then Li Xia walked out of the enhancement chamber.

He looked relaxed, showing no sign of pain.

Compared to the excruciating pain of breaking through extreme limits, which I never want to recall.

This intensification felt like a massage to him.

The light blue attribute panel has undergone several changes:

Aside from the changes in attributes, the other skills remain largely unchanged.

However, Li Xia did change the merit rank slightly; it was just a display, and he could change it however he wanted.

Looking at the luxurious control panel, Li Xia pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The third rank is a crucial rank.

It is also the last rank of the lower-ranking apostles.

At this stage, the apostles perfect their system.

For example, the mage system will gradually take shape, making up for its shortcomings.

This is not a mandatory requirement, but a lesson learned through blood and tears.

Because they hadn't fully developed their abilities, they rashly challenged fourth-tier apostles and all died tragically.

There are even rumors that the fourth and third orders are an insurmountable chasm, a huge watershed.

A normal fourth-order apostle is far superior to a third-order apostle in every aspect.

Li Xia also inquired about it through his own channels.

Although no definitive information was received, several 'old friends' left behind a meaningful remark:

"No rumor is unfounded."

That single sentence was enough to prove that the news circulating among the apostles was not unfounded.

I strolled along the bustling street with Aowu and Black Charcoal as if taking a leisurely walk.

The roadside was packed with stalls that were dazzling to the eye.

Unfortunately, we can only look on; the last world was a rare one where only attribute benefits were available.

Although the attribute benefits are quite astonishing, the total is equivalent to two regular dungeons.

But without a large amount of palace points in hand, I always feel a little panicked.

Not to mention that after reaching Tier 3, you can visit all the stalls in the lower-tier area.

Unlike before, many Tier 3 exclusive stalls were completely shrouded in mist and could not be seen at all.

In comparison, the quality of the third-tier stalls was significantly higher.
