...“Hiss!”

After thoroughly examining the skill descriptions, Ye Xingyu couldn’t help but gasp.

The number of skills added by his specialization as an Ice Flame Shooter wasn’t many, but each one was a heavyweight ultimate move, a decisive battle skill!

The mana cost often reached as high as 4,000! 5,000!

If it were someone else, without Ye Xingyu’s high attributes, they might not even be able to cast the skills.

In other words, the effects of all three skills were extremely powerful, with a wide area of effect, and incredibly high damage.

Ye Xingyu couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart: “A mythic grade profession is truly terrifying!”

It could almost be said that every move was an ultimate.

He was already eager to find a place to thoroughly test his newly acquired abilities and see how they performed in actual combat!

He had to admit, Ye Xingyu was now filled with anticipation...

Approximately 1 hour later, a tall and handsome figure suddenly arrived in Linyuan City.

He silently merged into the city’s crowd, quietly observing everything around him.

Linyuan City North Gate.

On the tall city walls, rows of dense figures stood.

Those standing in the first row were all familiar faces widely known in deep space.

Goddess Daji, the leader of Goddess Palace, Divine Diaochan... Bai He, the famous beautiful vice guild leader of Jun Luo Guild, and the group leaders Luo Shu and Blood Cry... The top-ranked digital leaders of War God Guild... Including War God himself, all were present.

There were also the guild leaders of major guilds like Robin, Lei Ming, Martial God, Emperor, and Sword Nameless.

Lining up with these famous individuals was also a tall and strong middle-aged man with a square face.

This person’s identity was even more significant, a representative from the official government of Xia Kingdom!

A well-known military general in reality, whose in-game name was Brocade of Mountains and Rivers!

Even he personally led a group of young officers to the front lines to observe and participate in the war.

Upon closer inspection, everyone’s face carried a tense and solemn expression, making the surrounding air seem to solidify.

Clearly, the situation on the battlefield could not be taken lightly.

The Dark Star Creatures seemed endless, constantly invading more land.

A week ago, players in Linyuan City could still hold the Corrupted Zone 10 li outside the city walls.

Now, imperceptibly, the Dark Star Creatures had pushed the battlefield to the very front of Linyuan City!

The wider corrupted land gave birth to more corrupted monsters.

Humanity was constantly losing ground in the face of this invasion.

If one day even Linyuan City were to fall to the Dark Star, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The Dark Star would then have a base on Blue Star!

Their generals would probably not be able to sit still at home and would immediately rush to Linyuan City overnight!

That kind of situation was definitely not what Blue Star and Xia Kingdom wanted to see.

That is why the officials eagerly gathered elite players from all over Xia Kingdom in Linyuan City.

Because in this battle against the Dark Star, they could not afford to lose!
