Chapter 117 – Dolai Version Enhancement, Tianyuan Ranking

Wow!

After evolution, Lu Liu’s skills might not be as versatile as Red Robe’s, but they are undoubtedly powerful.

He is also an excellent human shield.

“If I evolve ten Fearless Knights, why should I fear walking through a sky full of flaming rain?”

Most importantly, Lord Mu can activate the ‘Lu Liu Mode,’ equipping himself with an extremely strong life-saving trump card. Its defensive capability is likely even stronger than the ‘Greater Amulet’ he obtained but has yet to use even once.

This unit type is not bad.

“Gurgle gurgle~”

Dolai approached again, bringing freshly roasted and cumin-sprinkled Earth Rock Dragon leg meat, while also offering shoulder massages and fanning.

The clear and simple Dolai is starting to learn bad habits!

Who taught it?

Oh, it seems when he took Dolai to the real world, Dolai watched a lot of movies on his phone.

Darn!

…

The next day.

Mu Yuan reviewed the exploration reports.

The Red Robe squad destroyed two monster camps;

The Deadbone squad is investigating the depths of the swamp;

The Bone Two squad eliminated two Professional Tier monsters;

The Dolai squad destroyed and looted three monster camps; the Dolai squad discovered and harvested rare-tier materials; Dolai ventured solo sixty kilometers into the wilderness and discovered a Lizardmen tribe; Dolai…

It seems even more potential has been squeezed out of it?

So this is the correct way to use Dolai?

Ahem!

After all, Mu Yuan is no devil. That night, as starlight dotted the sky, he called Dolai to his side.

It’s coming~!

Tears welled up in Dolai’s eyes—tears of excitement and joy.

After all, if it doesn’t evolve soon, General Dolai will be surpassed by Red Robe and Lu Liu. As a senior of the territory, how could it let newcomers overtake it?

Wait, it used to be quite laid-back. Since when did it become so competitive?

General Dolai fell into deep thought.

After half a second of contemplation, it decided not to overthink it—evolution is what matters.

Thus, in the open space before Mu Yuan, the jelly-like Slime, shimmering with faint starlight, began its evolution.

After a while, the glow of evolution gradually faded.

The Dolai presented before him… unsurprisingly, showed no significant change in appearance. Unlike Lu Liu’s majestic and peerless form or Red Robe’s eerie yet tragically beautiful aura, Dolai remained a harmless-looking Slime.

But its essence had undergone a earth-shaking transformation.

「Prompt: Your unit ‘Dolai’ has advanced to ‘Devour Slime (Outstanding Three Stars),’ and its talent ‘Devour (Intermediate)’ has sublimated to ‘Devour (Advanced).’」

At first glance, Dolai still seemed unchanged.

Its class name remained the same, and no new talent skills appeared, as if it were a child unloved by heaven and earth. But…

In the entire Tianyuan Territory, the one with the strongest ‘foundation’ is undoubtedly Dolai.

The system prompt fell silent for a moment, as if brewing and waiting.

Then, like a volcanic eruption, notifications rang out one after another, filling the entire message panel.

「Prompt: Due to talent evolution, the power Dolai gained from devouring has been reorganized and sublimated during evolution.」

「Skill ‘Flame’ has evolved into ‘Flame Manipulation.’」

「Skill ‘Thunder’ has evolved into ‘Thunder Manipulation.’」”The skill ‘Steel Hardening’ has evolved into ‘Steel Manipulation’.”

“The skill ‘Mimicry’ has evolved into ‘Perfect Mimicry’.”

“Prompt: Dolai has awakened the talents ‘Self-Healing Body (Incomplete)’ and ‘Gravity (Incomplete)’.”

Dolai blinked its large eyes.

Flames erupted across its body, swirling like a fiery tornado that enveloped its entire form.

The next moment, as the fiery tornado drifted away and dissipated into sparks, what appeared before them was a humanoid Dolai, clad in flames as garments and wielding weapons condensed from lightning.

In the blink of an eye, the flames and lightning vanished completely, transforming into a suit of steel armor while holding a long spear.

It could be considered dashing and heroic.

The ever-changing Dolai began its performance.

Laughter echoed across the empty training ground.

It, General Dolai, was invincible once more~!

……

While Dolai amused itself, Mu Yuan found a spot to load the ‘Dolai Mode’ and practiced happily.

Dolai was indeed powerful.

There was a beauty in its strength.

“In Dolai Mode, my combat power seems to be stronger than in Deadbone Mode.”

This wasn’t because Dolai was stronger than Deadbone.

Rather, Dolai’s skills and abilities were simpler to use, unlike Deadbone’s…

But Dolai’s greatest advantage lay in its future development potential – all it needed to do was eat and eat.

……

After evolving, Dolai’s combat power soared. Although its single-target burst damage still wasn’t strong enough, it was extremely versatile.

Low emotional intelligence: King of bullying the weak.

During a brief spar with Lu Liu, it demonstrated dominating power.

It, Dolai, was the second strongest in Tianyuan!

NO.1: Deadbone.

NO.2: Dolai.

NO.3~4: Red Robe, Lu Liu.

Red Robe had one more advanced skill than Lu Liu, while Lu Liu possessed a rare-grade equipment.

Their configurations were roughly equal.

In Mu Yuan’s view, Red Robe was slightly stronger than Lu Liu in external battles, as ghost-type units typically held significant advantages. However, in a direct confrontation between Red Robe and Lu Liu, Red Robe’s win rate was less than 10%.

She was completely countered by Lu Liu.

At best, she could maintain distance for a stalemate.

NO.5~10: Rakshasa, Seventeen, Bone Two, Bone Three, Bone Four, Asun.

These were the top ten powerhouses of Tianyuan.

Eight of them had Outstanding-grade ranks.

The other Outstanding-grade unit, ‘Tree Spirit Grandma’, was still laboriously absorbing Soul Sand to level up.

Still far from reaching Professional Tier.

“Almost time to head to the Resource Secret Realm. I hope to find suitable treasures inside.”

What he wanted most were:

First, items that could increase leveling speed, such as special treasures or cultivation-type buildings.

Second, treasures that could enhance territory defense capabilities and greatly improve security.

He looked behind him.

Generals Deadbone and Dolai stood on either side.

Following them were minor generals like Lu Liu, Seventeen, Bone Two, Bone Three, and Asun.

Their equipment had almost all been upgraded, replaced with commander-grade equipment forged by Li Erniu and “enhanced +3.”

Mu Yuan had brought almost all of Tianyuan Territory’s powerhouses on this trip.

There was little need for garrison forces.

Because he hadn’t actually left – whether sending all members away or recalling units inside the Secret Realm, it only took three seconds.

He could also monitor the territory at all times.

“Let’s go.”

Mu Yuan said, loading the ‘Fearless Knight·Lu Liu’ template through mental connection, and reached out to touch the Secret Realm Gate.

The next instant, silver-gray tides surged from the gate, enveloping him and dozens of units.

…

Dizziness, shaking!The discomfort of passing through the Secret Realm Gate was slightly less intense than the last time. Mu Yuan quickly opened his eyes, holding his shield in front of him in a defensive stance.

Surrounding him were all the troops he had brought along for this journey, tightly encircling him from all directions.

And further away…

White mist! Extremely dense fog filled the entire space of the Secret Realm, obscuring the sky, the earth, and all vegetation, leaving nothing visible.

2/3, another chapter to follow shortly.
