Hum!

A translucent ice spear with dragon scales went at Ji Ye’s neck with a vague dragon roar.

Pa!

However, it was deflected by a glow that appeared out of nowhere when it was only an inch away from Ji Ye’s throat.

“Roar!”

Following that, a white jade sword, with a louder dragon roar, was swung from the side and hit the spear.

The sword was so powerful that it flung the tip of the silver sword several feet away.

Clang, clang, clang…

In the next moment, the ice spear and the jade sword collided consecutively.

They hit dozens of times in a very short amount of time, resulting in a series of explosions in the air.

Boom!

In the last strike, the spear and the sword, both vaguely covered in dragon illusions, hit each other in the tip.

In the next moment, the impact of the two weapons swept out, descending the surface of the sea by three feet at first. Then, the surface bounced back and caused consecutive circular waves!

“Zilong, your spear technique is truly remarkable.

“It both retains the essence of skills in individual combats and includes the moves that are best for battlefield fighting. In the Twin Dragon Mount fort, only Chief Lu’s stick technique is as good as that!”

Holding the Jade Dragon Sword, Ji Ye said to Zhao Yun with a smile.

“Master, your sword technique is even more remarkable. A sword has disadvantages against a spear, yet you were never defeated.

“But what surprises me even more is your aptitudes, Master. You’ve completely mastered the Power of Dragon Valiance after only several days!”

Standing on a piece of floating ice that was made with the Transcendent power of his Snow Spear, Zhao Yun complimented Ji Yun.

That’s right, the Power of Dragon Valiance!

It was exactly the ability of invincibility with which Zhao Yun confronted a thousand enemies, and a skill that Ji Ye chose to learn from him.

But was it possible to learn a hero’s talent ability?

Technically speaking, talent skills couldn’t be directly learned.

However, it was possible to learn the techniques on which a talent skill was based!

For example, Gongsun Sheng obtained his “Cloud Riding” from the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique. After learning the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, Ji Ye would be able to “ride the clouds” too when his expertise reached a certain level.

However, his performance with the skill wouldn’t be as good as Gongsun Sheng’s even if they were equally adept at the skill, because Gongsun Sheng’s nickname was “Dragon in the Clouds”, and his “riding the clouds” was more or less enhanced by his talent!

On the other hand, most heroes’ talent abilities weren’t based on one particular skill. Instead, many factors that had to do with their body, mind, soul, etc. were involved.

Therefore, not the talent ability of every hero could be learned.

However, after trying to learn Zhao Yun’s “Power of Dragon Valiance”, Ji Ye found that he made fast progress.

It was mostly because, as its name suggested, the ability mostly depended on “dragon” and “valiance”.

With his Legendary Flood Dragon Bloodline, Ji Ye met the first requirement, and obviously, he didn’t lack courage either.

After all, he didn’t think that many players were as fearless of death as himself!

But of course, the Power of Dragon Valiance that Ji Ye learned wasn’t as good as Zhao Yun’s, which was empowered by his talent.

Nevertheless, after learning, Ji Ye sensed that the Power of Dragon Valiance strongly agreed with the Dragon Aura.

After the Fusion talent cooled down, he might be able to create a defense technique that was as good as Zhao Yun’s talent ability!

“Huh? Is the fog on the sea fading away?”

At this moment, Ji Ye suddenly looked at the fog of war that was floating over the sea.

Such fog surrounded the range of the settlements on the Land of Inheritance. Both the players and the natives would experience severe sense deprivation after they entered the fog!

Also, after they wandered aimlessly in the fog for a while, they would soon find themselves back to where they set off at the beginning.

For that reason, even though the Ten-Species Competition quest was over, the environment around had still been unknown. But it seemed that the fog was fading!

“So to speak, the fort…”

Ji Ye turned around and looked at the Twin Dragon Mount fort.

“Master, many newcomers have arrived at the fort. Elder Meng asked me to inform you!”

At this moment, an eagle that was covered in green light swooped close at a high speed, and then the green light dispersed, revealing Yan Qing on it.

…

In the Temple of Providence fort…

The place had been crowded with the third batch of “Chosen Ones”, who were of different genders and ages and in simple clothes!

“Wow, it’s the Twin Dragon Mount fort! I’m really lucky!”

“The Twin Dragon Mount fort, the only Extraordinary Rank-9 settlement according to the Confederate government’s statistics. Shoot. What a shame. I should’ve spent all my money on lottery tickets before I came…”

The thousand newcomers looked around with curiosity and excitement in their eyes. Some of them shouted after figuring out where they had reached.

“So many newcomers. The competition will be fierce. I need to show my abilities as quickly as possible. It’s said that the Master of the Twin Dragon Mount fort is a beta tester, and according to a player from the second batch, he’s not attracted to women. Well, if worst comes to worst, I’ll have to sacrifice my body…”

Someone looked around and mumbled something to themself.

Had it not been for the intimidating soldiers in the square who were fully armored and equipped with swords and even sniper rifles, some of the newcomers would’ve eagerly started exploring the fort.

The Twin Dragon Mount fort had been smart enough to tear down half of the temple in advance to clear the ground. It had also welcomed a bunch of natives during the seven days of preparation; otherwise, it would’ve been hard to control the situation.

After all, too many newcomers were arriving at once. Also, unlike the first two batches, this batch of new players had completely lost the fear of the Land of Inheritance.

“Is the tall girl in white clothes Nie Xiaoqian? She’s so beautiful and exactly how I always pictured her!”

“Ninth Uncle, Ninth Uncle! Over here! I’m your loyal fan! Please accept me as your disciple!”

“Ninth Uncle is just a ghost-busting Daoist. He’s only mediocre on the Land of Inheritance. Wu Song is the hero with the greatest potential from Water Margin. I want to learn from him!”

“Tsk. How can martial arts compare to cultivation? I’ve decided to learn from Gongsun Sheng. Chances are that I can summon his teacher Master Luo someday. Then, I’ll have the strongest supporter in the entire fort!”

Since they were not allowed to go anywhere yet, the newcomers all focused their eyes on the entrance of the Temple of Providence.

At the entrance of the Temple of Providence, the heroes of the Temple of Providence were standing solemnly and fully-armed, as if they were waiting for someone.

“Wow, look above!”

A player suddenly pointed at the sky.

Under the sun in the sky, a white dragon that was covered in Dragon Aura and an eagle that was emitting magnificent green light flew across the newcomers and landed before the Temple of Providence.

Hum!

Then, the white dragon and the green eagle turned into clouds and dispersed, revealing three handsome men!

“Wow, this is truly a grand and awesome entrance!”

“Is this the Extraordinary power on the Land of Inheritance? It’s almost unbelievable!”

“They are as awesome as the way they showed up. Also, all of them are so handsome. I feel that my heart has just been hit by three arrows at the same time.”

“Damn it. Don’t forget you are a man. Are you going to fight over them against a girl like me?”

Seeing the miraculous scene, all the players were shouting and yelling in excitement.
