Chapter 570: The Forbidden Monument
Chapter 570: The Forbidden Monument
September 25, 2017
Having just descended from the 104th level, Lu HaiKong didn't feel anything particularly special about breaking through to level 90.
It seemed as if everything had fallen into place naturally, and he didn't experience much joy, but rather a hint of regret for advancing too early, with a slightly unstable foundation. He realized that he needed to focus on further refining his fundamentals for a period.
Sighing, he thought that this kind of calmness that rich people possessed would probably drive many sages crazy.
Even if Zhao Yue'er knew what Lu HaiKong was thinking, she would probably want to jump up and strangle him.
Yue'er had dedicated herself to martial arts for years, constantly putting herself in dangerous situations, even exploiting system bugs to her advantage. Only after going through all that did she finally break through to level 90.
Compared to her struggles, Lu HaiKong's journey seemed filled with nothing but tears of frustration.
Unlike Lu HaiKong, who was born with incredible talent, effortlessly training and dying a few times, his strength skyrocketed to level 90. Even more outrageous was that this guy wasn't satisfied.
Sighing, Lu HaiKong thought that you really couldn't compare people; some were born with a silver spoon, while he was born with cheats activated.
Although breaking through to level 90 in strength didn't bring much joy, his overall power had indeed improved. Lu HaiKong had just descended from the 104th level, and he wanted to see what changes had occurred after reaching level 90.
So, he called upon Gao Lan, who had also reached level 90, and the two sparred in the training grounds.
Through this battle, Lu HaiKong clearly noticed the gap in his improved strength.
It was huge, extremely huge!
On the one hand, Lu HaiKong had started cultivating body tempering techniques and possessed the Phoenix True Blood, which made his physical strength incredibly formidable.
Without using inner force, Lu HaiKong could directly clash with Gao Lan, and he even seemed to have an absolute advantage.
Additionally, Lu HaiKong's warlord trait, "Unmatched Tyrant," had also undergone significant changes.
Previously, Lu HaiKong could only activate it for two minutes, but now he discovered that he could maintain "Unmatched Tyrant" for ten minutes. Before, when facing opponents with strength above level 90, there would always be a slight reduction in the effect of "Unmatched Tyrant," but this time, Lu HaiKong found that there was no such situation.
This was truly abnormal, implying that even when facing opponents with strength at level 96, activating "Unmatched Tyrant" would immediately put both sides on equal footing. This effect was incredibly overpowered.
Furthermore, after advancing to level 90 in strength, Lu HaiKong's understanding of "Unmatched Tyrant" had evolved. Initially, he simply viewed it as a skill, but now he vaguely sensed something extraordinary about it, though he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was at the moment.
However, Lu HaiKong had a hunch that perhaps one day, his "Unmatched Tyrant" might also transform into a phantom, just like Dian Wei's warlord trait.
Through the spar with Gao Lan, Lu HaiKong deeply realized his current strength while also clearly understanding that he had once again become one of the top three in his group.
Currently, under Lu HaiKong's command, only Wang Yue and Dian Wei could suppress him.
After all, the warlord trait he possessed was slightly overpowered.
After assessing his strength, Lu HaiKong, who had been busy all day, washed away the sweat and blood on his body, and after eating a meal, even though the sky had already darkened, he once again stepped into the training grounds.
This person had once again arrived at the training grounds, not to seek sparring partners, but to take inventory of his recent gains and, most importantly, to open his very first Mythical Treasure Chest.
On one hand, he was curious about the Mythical Treasure Chest, and on the other, he wanted to see if he could replenish his depleted trump cards.
During the Battle of Guangping, Lu HaiKong obtained one Mythical Treasure Chest, one Legendary Treasure Chest, and two Golden Treasure Chests.
Additionally, after capturing Ye City, Lu HaiKong gained two Legendary Treasure Chests, and upon Gao Lan's advancement to level 90, he obtained another Legendary Treasure Chest. In total, he now had one Mythical Treasure Chest, four Legendary Treasure Chests, and two Golden Treasure Chests.
Furthermore, with Lu HaiKong's own advancement to level 90, along with the items obtained from Zhang Liang, Deng Mao, and Bian Xi, it was yet another bountiful harvest!
However, despite the abundance of treasure chests, Lu HaiKong wasn't overly confident about acquiring a trump card like the Phoenix Tear from these chests. After all, the odds of obtaining such an item were incredibly slim. Opening one was already a stroke of luck, and to open another would make Lu HaiKong suspect cheating.
Lu HaiKong immediately opened the two Golden Treasure Chests and the four Legendary Treasure Chests.
From the Golden Treasure Chests, Lu HaiKong obtained 300,000 gold coins from one and an exceptional-grade longsword from the other.
Lu HaiKong merely glanced at these items before dismissing them, as they were of little use to him.
From the four Legendary Treasure Chests, Lu HaiKong obtained a token, a longsword, a talisman, and a forbidden monument.
Lu HaiKong appraised each item with his Identification Technique, and this time, the harvest from the Legendary Treasure Chests was quite impressive.

These three items were all quite excellent, especially the Forbidden Monument, which rendered Hero Traits ineffective. Lu HaiKong had never seen such a useful item before.
As for the final token, it was a System Building Upgrade Token that Lu HaiKong had seen many times. However, just because he had seen it often didn't mean it was useless, right?
"The frequency of System Building Upgrade Tokens appearing recently is a bit high. This is already the second one, and with one more, we can upgrade the entire Hall of Spirits."
Upon seeing the System Building Upgrade Token, Lu HaiKong's eyes lit up, and he quickly collected it.
As this person officially intervened in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the number of historical generals he slew increased. The Spirit Map in the Hall of Spirits was almost full, and Lu HaiKong was worried about not having enough to upgrade it. Just then, another System Building Upgrade Token appeared, ensuring the upgrade for the Hall of Spirits.
