"Level up!"
"Ding, leveling up..."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for advancing to Tier 7 combat power!"
In the next second, dense white light appeared out of thin air around Lin Yuzhou Shen. This white light was even more concentrated than when he had leveled up his combat power before.
As soon as the white light appeared, it seeped into his body, strengthening every inch of his flesh.
From his physical body to his soul, he was immersed in a warm ocean of energy, growing stronger with every passing moment.
As his strength increased, Lin Yu felt more and more excited.
When the white light disappeared, he opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and felt an explosive power that made him feel like he held the world in his grasp.
However, even more excited than him was Lin Fan, who was beside him.
The guy grinned, unable to suppress his wild laughter.
"Main body, congratulations on leveling up your combat power!"
"Right, main body, quickly recall me and then separate me again!"
Lin Fan was eager to level up his combat power.
Lin Yu curled his lips and said, "Are you going to cultivate yourself?"
"My cultivation speed can't compare to yours, main body. Don't tease me anymore. Hurry up." Lin Fan bowed, begging.
Lin Yu snorted and cursed with a smile, "Alright, I'll do it now!"
With a mere thought, Lin Fan turned into a beam of light and returned to Lin Yu's body.
Lin Yu silently recited the incantation for an external manifestation again. The power within his body condensed externally, gradually forming Lin Fan's appearance.
It took more than ten minutes to completely mold Lin Fan's body.
After all, this was a permanent clone, not as easily formed as an ordinary one.
Lin Fan woke up, feeling the surging power within his body, and exclaimed excitedly, "I can shatter a mountain with a single punch now!"
"A Tier 7 expert is ten times stronger than a Tier 6. Your feeling of being able to shatter a mountain isn't false, but you can only shatter a small one," Lin Yu said.
Tier 7 was a huge leap from Tier 6. He remembered when he was in Ji City, the City Lord and others were only at Tier 6 combat power, which showed how difficult Tier 7 was.
This not only required talent but also luck and perseverance.
However, Lin Yu didn't need these. He was a cheat, after all.
Lin Fan laughed and said, "Thank you, main body, for letting me experience the power of Tier 7 in advance. Ahaha!!!"
Lin Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then do a good job, keep digging the tunnel, and finish our second cave as soon as possible."
Lin Fan was also full of energy and said excitedly, "Alright, big brother, just wait for the good news."
With that, he jumped into the tunnel and started operating the puppets to work.
Lin Yu silently chanted, "Clone!"
White light flashed, and five hundred new clones appeared around him.
"Now that the clones' strength has skyrocketed, can they kill a Tier 8 expert without self-destructing?"
The reason Lin Yu was able to kill the Tier 8 Frost Dog was mainly due to the self-destruction of a group of clones.
With the current strength of his clones, he felt that under a concerted attack, they should be enough to kill a Tier 8 expert.
"I've consumed Soul Orbs and Flesh Pills, so my strength was already superior to others of the same tier. My clones inherit 200% of my combat power. Although they can't inherit talent abilities, over a dozen clones should be able to take on a Tier 8 expert in a one-on-one fight!"
"But I'm still not entirely sure. Since that's the case, let's test it with a Tier 8 exotic beast!"
Lin Yu looked at his clones and murmured softly, "Go, hunt Tier 8 exotic beasts!"
The clones nodded and walked outside.
As soon as they left the cave, they cast the Soul Illusion technique, concealing their presence, and then walked out. This place was Lin Yu's hiding spot, and he couldn't let anyone else discover it.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu, the main body, was comprehending the energy changes of the lightning attribute. Relying on the Fire Thunder Heavenly Prison skill, he learned the lightning attribute energy without much effort.
Thus, he had mastered seven attributes: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, and lightning.
At this moment.
Outside, the night was deep.
However, neither humans nor exotic beasts were in the mood to sleep.
Because a self-destructing maniac had killed several thousand exotic beasts in a camp through self-detonation, attracting the attention of the higher-ups of the exotic beasts.
The human side also received the news, and everyone was astonished beyond words.
At the bar.
Several people gathered, discussing the explosion they had just heard.
"We got the news, it was self-detonation again. This time it was serious. The other side lost a Tier 8 camp commander and five to six thousand exotic beast soldiers."
"It was bad enough to have a self-destructing maniac during the day, but they came back at night too. Haven't they woken up yet?"
"Maybe they're passionate and don't retreat, or maybe their loved ones died at the hands of the exotic beasts. Who knows the exact reason?"
"But, I have to say, anyone who dares to self-destruct is admirable, and the power of that self-detonation is truly immense. I'm a bit tempted to try it."
"Try it and you'll die. Go ahead and try, I won't stop you."
"I was just mentioning it. Aren't you guys going to rest? Don't you want to go to the battlefield tomorrow?"
"I plan to go to the Merit Shop tomorrow morning to exchange for some treasures to improve my strength. I'll wait a few more days, boost my strength, and then go."
"Mm, your consideration is very reasonable."
Meanwhile.
At the exotic beast camp.
In the main tent.
General Wyvern was full of indignation.
He pointed at the generals with their heads bowed in apology and cursed loudly.
"A mere human race, daring to use self-detonation tactics against us, are you fools? Can't you dodge?"
A beast below muttered, "We didn't know he would self-destruct beforehand. Besides, who would normally self-destruct? So we were caught off guard..."
"Well said, caught off guard. I think your brains are full of water, you imbeciles. I'm telling you, relying on experience will kill you. Now, immediately issue an order: kill any human you encounter directly. Don't capture them anymore. Also, try to avoid them as much as possible to prevent self-detonation!"
The generals below nodded repeatedly, "Great General is wise, we are inferior to you."
General Wyvern snorted and said, "I know you are not as wise as me, but I never expected you to be so much worse! Forget it, I won't punish you this time. Go back and rest. It's already the limit for humans to self-detonate a thousand people continuously. This night will be peaceful. Go, all of you!"
He waved his dragon wings and left the tent first. The other beasts left one after another after a while.
This night, both humans and exotic beasts believed it would be extremely peaceful.
However, something unexpected soon happened again.
"Kill!"
"Exotic beasts, die!"
"Roar!"
"Howl~"
The shouts of killing erupted again, and this time they were even more fierce. This shocked not only the humans but also the exotic beasts.
An entire camp of exotic beast armies was easily wiped out this time.
Following that, these humans, dressed similarly to the people who had self-destructed last time, raised their weapons and charged towards the next camp.
The small camps along the way, with only Tier 8 exotic beast camp commanders, could not withstand the siege of these Tier 7 humans. For a time, the exotic beasts howled in misery, dying one after another.
The camps along the way were engulfed in flames, reaching straight into the sky, making the surrounding miles as bright as day.
The exotic beast army soon came to reinforce them. They thought the humans would retreat, but they didn't expect them to charge towards them instead.
The general in the reinforcing army saw this and suddenly remembered the words of General Wyvern just now.
"Not good, they're charging! They're going to self-destruct, dodge quickly!"
