Chapter 194: World-Class Item

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng suddenly realized.

Besides talent, what limited human strength was likely also the number of classes.

However, even if the number of classes was sufficient, once the level reached the race's limit, there was still no way to continue improving.

Those powerhouses hiding in the shadows, who had transformed themselves into undead, were essentially a way to break through the racial limit.

Tang Zheng's gaze flickered slightly.

He thought of the World-Class Item 【Greed and Avarice】 in the "Great Tomb of Nazarick," which had the ability to store experience, consume experience, and replace certain skills and magic that required experience to activate.

This ability seemed somewhat simple.

But with the status of a "World-Class Item," possessing this item, provided the experience points were sufficient, might allow one to easily break through the racial limit and improve to level 100.

He shook his head.

This matter was still too far away from him; even if he got this World-Class Item, the issue of experience alone was no small trouble.

He came back to his senses.

Looking at Ya La'er, who was looking at him expectantly, Tang Zheng stood up, reached out and grabbed at the void, and the magic greatsword appeared in his hand.

Ya La'er widened her silver eyes, her gaze flashing with wonder; she hadn't noticed at all how that greatsword had suddenly appeared.

And the gray armor on Hero, my lord's body earlier also seemed to be able to be put away and released at will.

Was it an ability related to magical magic?

Ya La'er thought to herself.

"Watch closely, this is a type of martial art. Although it is a technique of swordplay, it can be used as a reference to apply to the 'Precision Control' move you used earlier."

Tang Zheng spoke while swinging his sword with one hand to slash forward.

Four-Light Continuous Slash!

In an instant, four cold sword beams appeared in the air simultaneously.

Ya La'er, who was watching from the side, felt a chill all over her body, as if she were facing an attack launched by four enemies.

"This..." Ya La'er's breathing was rapid, and her silver pupils were shining.

This was not a move like the skill "Precision Control" she used, which rapidly increased one's own functions to launch, but a pure technique.

"Instant Reflex!"

After Tang Zheng finished releasing the move, a blue light flashed on his body, and his posture instantly returned to the state it was in at the beginning, as if everything that had just happened hadn't occurred, and the magic greatsword in his hand swung out again:

"Four-Light Continuous Slash: Break!"

Four cold, icy lights appeared in the air again, and then instantly merged into one!

Ya La'er only felt her field of vision suddenly turn dark, as if all the light in her field of vision had been absorbed by a dazzling stream of light.

Boom!

A roar of air being torn apart exploded.

The air wave surged!

Ya La'er woke up with a start, panting heavily, and took two steps back, a look of lingering fear on her face.

So strong!

So terrifying!

She had originally thought that the four attacks slashed out in that instant were already difficult to block, but she hadn't expected that Hero, my lord could still launch an even more terrifying combo after finishing the attack.

"Did you see clearly? If you have any questions, ask." Tang Zheng looked at Ya La'er, who was covered in cold sweat, and spoke indifferently.

He didn't have the relevant classes for the class skills he mastered, so even if Ya La'er wanted to learn them, she couldn't master them; only in terms of martial arts could he teach her a little.

On the other side!

Gray dwarf tribe oasis.

The mobilization of the 5,000-strong elite gray dwarf legion was naturally a major event for the entire gray dwarf tribe.

Annihilating the human settlement, occupying the second oasis, and restoring the glory of the gray dwarf tribe. Such a major event was watched by every gray dwarf.

Not a single gray dwarf believed that this war would fail. Many gray dwarves in the tribe were betting on how many days this war would end in.

That's right!

This was a war that was sure to be won; it was just a matter of wasting some time to wipe out all the humans.

All the gray dwarves were looking forward to the fine wine that His Majesty the King would reward them with after the war was won, as well as the second oasis.

However!

With the surviving gray dwarf soldiers from the elite legion fleeing back to the oasis.

The death of the Commander-in-Chief and the annihilation of the 5,000-strong elite legion caused an uproar among everyone in the entire gray dwarf tribe.

A feeling of fear permeated the sky over the entire gray dwarf tribe.

At this moment, even if the King sent people to appease the public, it could not have any useful effect; everyone was plunged into a panic.

In the center of the oasis, the area close to the living water source.

There was a huge cave entrance, and the gray dwarf tribe lived underground; dwarves were a race that didn't like the sun, especially gray dwarves.

The closer the underground area was to the living water source, the higher the status of the gray dwarves living there.

In a spacious stone chamber underground.

Three gray dwarves with completely gray-white beards were sitting at a low table, and the atmosphere in the entire stone chamber was extremely oppressive.

They had thought it was a battle that was sure to be won, but the result was so tragic; this was something no one had expected.

The three gray dwarves in front of them were the three people with the highest status in the entire gray dwarf tribe.

One of them was the King of the gray dwarf tribe, and the other two were the Minister of Forging and the Minister of General Affairs.

There had originally been a Commander-in-Chief, but he was now dead.

The gray dwarf tribe was different from the dwarf tribe of the Azerlisia Mountains; although they had been destroyed by the Troll Kingdom and fled to the Valley of Despair.

But the royal bloodline of the gray dwarf tribe had not been severed, and they still retained the rule of a monarchy.

"To be able to destroy a 5,000-strong elite legion, it must be a powerhouse in the Hero realm, it must be a powerhouse in the Hero realm!" The gray dwarf King looked panicked as he looked at the two ministers in front of him, whose faces were also ugly:

"Doesn't the human race have any powerhouses in the 'Hero' realm anymore? Where did the other side pop out from!"

"What on earth is going on!"

"What should we do? Should we send someone to the human settlement immediately? We can pay compensation!"

"No, no, how can the great gray dwarves bow to the inferior human race."

Seeing the panicked King.

The Minister of Forging and the Minister of General Affairs felt helpless, but also felt a bit panicked themselves.

A powerhouse in the Hero realm had suddenly popped out from the human side, disrupting all their plans.

Most importantly, it was now completely impossible to determine why that powerhouse in the Hero realm was helping the humans.

Could it be that legendary curse?

The Minister of Forging and the Minister of General Affairs suddenly looked at each other, and this thought appeared in both their minds at the same time, but it was quickly extinguished.

Please... you... bookmark_(!)

This was just a legend, and if it were that curse, it would have to wait until the human race was wiped out to be fulfilled, not at this moment!

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to panic." The Minister of General Affairs suppressed the panic in his heart, tried his best to make his voice calm, and spoke to persuade him.

"What should we do now!" The gray dwarf King immediately looked at the Minister of General Affairs.

"First, we need to investigate clearly whether that powerhouse in the 'Hero' realm is a human, or if someone from another race passed by and helped the humans."

The Minister of General Affairs spoke while looking at the Minister of Forging.

"What you mean... this old man understands. We are also short of food and other supplies, but in the armory, we can draw out a batch of weapons as a gift of apology."

The Minister of Forging only needed to look at the Minister of General Affairs to understand what the other was thinking, and after a little thought, he nodded:

"In addition, if it is the worst-case scenario, we can also make compromises and concessions with the condition of 'specially forging weapons suitable for humans' as a gift."

The Minister of General Affairs scratched his thick, gray-white beard and nodded.

The human side had already obtained a batch of weapons from the annihilated gray dwarf legion, so sending them some more didn't matter.

The human population was ultimately much smaller.

The key was that they needed to figure out the current attitude of the humans and the attitude of that mysterious Hero powerhouse as soon as possible.

"Sending weapons, how can that be!"

When the gray dwarf King heard the countermeasures discussed by the two ministers, he immediately retorted loudly: "How can we compromise with that group of inferior, low-class races!"

"Your Highness, it is not 50 years ago anymore; we don't have powerhouses in the Hero realm sitting in town." The Minister of General Affairs spoke softly.

This made the atmosphere in the room sink.

50 years ago was exactly when their gray dwarf kingdom was at its most glorious, followed by the invasion of the Troll Kingdom, and all the kingdom's powerhouses died in that invasion war.

"We also need to prepare for the worst."

The Minister of General Affairs bowed slightly and continued respectfully: "Your Highness, we also need to make the worst preparations; the things in the treasury can only be used by Your Highness."

The next morning.

A fully armed ten-man gray dwarf squad, pulling a cart of weapons, set off from the oasis and headed toward the oasis where the humans lived.

And on the human side.

After two days of basic training and familiarization.

3,000 humans held gray dwarf hammers and iron-skin shields, looking ahead with fiery eyes.

A fully armed Ya La'er stood in front of this group of tribespeople, subconsciously gripping the silver long spear in her hand.

This was almost everyone in the entire tribe who could fight.

In the upcoming war, she didn't know how many people would be able to come back alive, but she was clear, and even everyone standing here was clear.

With the help of Hero, my lord's power!

This was an opportunity that could not be missed, one that could allow their descendants and all their tribespeople to live in peace for a long time.

"We have had too many tribespeople die in the war with the gray dwarf tribe!"

"Relatives, friends, ancestors, and so on!"

"Not long ago, I thought I was going to die, I thought our tribe was going to disappear completely from this Valley of Despair."

"I am so unwilling!"

When Ya La'er said this, her eyes turned red; she looked at the tribespeople in front of her, whose eyes were also red, and raised the silver-white long spear in her hand:

"For all the people!"

"For all the people!" 3,000 tribespeople roared at the same time.

They were a group of people who had already died once; there was nothing to be afraid of!

Step! Step!

Two sets of footsteps rang out from not far away.

Ya La'er turned her head, reached out to quickly wipe her eyes, and then a bright smile appeared on her face again as she looked in the direction the footsteps were coming from.

It was Father and Hero, my lord.

Tang Zheng walked toward the crowd with calm steps, with the evil spirit dog that had turned into a goshawk standing on his shoulder.

Feeling the atmosphere in the air.

Tang Zheng glanced at the serious faces and didn't say much.

"Hero, my lord..."

Chieftain Di Yelong bowed slightly, a hint of nervousness on his scarred cheek as he looked at Tang Zheng cautiously, as if he wanted to say something, but the words didn't come out.

Tang Zheng looked at Chieftain Di Yelong and suddenly smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will bring everyone back."

After speaking.

Tang Zheng turned his head again and said calmly: "Let's go!"
