Chapter 313: Chapter 47: The King’s War Ends, Abundant Rewards, The Era of All Blood Bulls (2)

It could directly affect his "War Blessing" skill, boosting its Attribute Enhancement effect to a massive 250% and adding a 250% Extra Life Value bonus.

This meant that all members of the Holy Empire, in addition to the 500% Blood Volume from Qin Feng’s "Heaven’s Chosen Ruler" title, could now gain another 250% Blood Volume buff as long as they fought alongside Qin Feng on an "Imperial Expedition." This would take their strength and margin for error to a whole new level.

’Awesome!’

’Does this just turn everyone into a Blood Bull?’

’Too bad both rewards have a useless ability. It’s not a huge loss, but it still feels like a bit of a waste...’

The two useless abilities Qin Feng mentioned were, first, the "Heaven’s Chosen Ruler" title’s effect of "Instantly level up to 100 without needing a Stone of the Gods," and second, the "War Blessing" skill’s "Double Attribute Amplification" effect.

The first ability was useless mainly because Qin Feng had previously plundered a Talent called "Destiny Hero" from the Flame Emperor, Galukasa.

This Heaven-defying Talent allowed him to break through Level 100 and beyond without a Stone of the Gods, completely overlapping with the effect of the Heaven’s Chosen Ruler title.

If Qin Feng hadn’t managed to slay Flame Emperor Galukasa and plunder this Heaven-defying Destiny Talent, the title’s direct-to-Level-100 effect would have been incredibly valuable.

Among hundreds of thousands of Lord Players, it was unlikely that even a single person possessed it.

As for why the "War Blessing" skill’s doubling amplification was useless...

...the problem lay with the stage-based limitations of the Lord World.

Take the current stage, for example: all combat units had a fixed cap on their attribute points. Once that cap was reached, any additional attribute points became a wasted resource.

Qin Feng himself, along with his top-tier heroes, had long since reached this Attribute Limit. None of them could gain any further benefits from the "War Blessing" skill’s Attribute Amplification.

For them, there were now only two ways to increase their power again.

First, they could acquire Attack, Defense, and Life Ability Values converted from attribute points to directly enhance their personal combat power.

Second, they could find a way to increase the attribute point conversion rate, allowing each point to be exchanged for higher concrete values like Attack, Defense, and Life Value.

Only then could they break through the shackles of the current stage and achieve a qualitative leap in power.

Of course, if the targets were ordinary Extraordinary Soldiers and Extraordinary Heroes, this 250% attribute bonus was still quite terrifying. It could increase their damage output several times over.

At this thought, Qin Feng stopped dwelling on the two useless abilities. His gaze fell upon the remaining rewards, and he frowned slightly, mentally sorting through them and calculating how to best maximize their use.

First, among the rewards issued by the Lord System this time, there were a full 3,000 Dragon Crystals, an extremely abundant amount.

This sum was not only enough to completely unlock the "Otherworldly Sword and Saber Weapon Pack" Talent, but he could also max out his other two initial Talents to Level 100. He would even have enough left over to unlock a brand-new, unknown Riding and Cutting Talent, truly ushering Qin Feng into a new "Riding and Cutting era."

Second, the newly unlocked Lord Skill, "Plane Gate," was a strategic-level trump card.

In the third and fourth stages of the Lord World, it could directly open a Plane Teleportation Gate, allowing Qin Feng to lead his army into the Planes of other Lords. He could proactively declare war, plunder resources, or even launch a full-scale conquest, completely breaking through geographical restrictions and extending the battlefield to a much wider domain.

Finally, there was one core reward that couldn’t be ignored: Qin Feng could choose one of his Divine Chosen Soldier Types to undergo a deep transformation, granting it an exclusive Divine Gift ability.

This meant that after the Sielo Knights he had obtained for free, he could create another unique, Divinely Gifted Soldier Type, further solidifying the foundation of his combat power.

Qin Feng lightly tapped his finger on the tabletop, his gaze falling on the description of his newly acquired Plane Gate skill.

’Hmm.’

’No need to rush thinking about the Plane Gate for now.’

’This thing won’t be truly useful until the third stage. We’re just about to start the second stage of the Lord World, and who knows how long it’ll be until the next one begins.’

’It won’t hurt to put it aside for a bit.’

’As for this new Divinely Gifted Soldier Type...’

Qin Feng’s eyes scanned his current list of Divine Chosen Soldier Types. His finger swiped across the virtual panel, and he began to filter through potential targets for the "Soldier Type transformation."

The first ones he excluded were the Extraordinary Crimson Flame (upgraded from Fire Fox), the Extraordinary Wilderness Demon Wolf (upgraded from Forest Wolf), the Valkyrie-led Violent Bear Squad, and Demon Beasts like the Steel Ants, which were powerful but difficult to find a practical use for.

These types of Demon Beast Soldier Types were all special units that couldn’t be directly recruited, so they weren’t covered by the "Soldier Type transformation reward" in the first place. Naturally, they required no further consideration.

Next, the Tier 6 "Heroic Spirit Warrior" from the various Forest Sub-human Tribes was also crossed off the list.

Although they were a standard recruitable Soldier Type, their individual strength was truly pathetic. At best, they could only fight on even footing with the pirates from the Western Island Countries. The cost-to-benefit ratio of transforming them was far too low, clearly not meeting Qin Feng’s expectations for a "Divinely Gifted Soldier Type."

Looking next at the Gulad Empire’s Holy Knights, Lionheart Knights, Heavy Armor Knights, and regular Dragon Knights, these Soldier Types weren’t weak, but they still failed to catch Qin Feng’s eye.

After all, he already had the absurdly powerful Royal Dragon Cavalry under his command. In comparison, the former group naturally wouldn’t be a priority for the transformation.

It was worth noting that while the regular human Soldier Types from the Western Island Countries were mediocre, the surrendered Kraken, Leviathan, and Cetus had brought with them numerous Deep Sea Magical Beasts. This hidden naval power had become a presence on the list that could not be ignored.

Unfortunately, like the Fire Fox and other Demon Beasts, they were ineligible to be transformed into a Divinely Gifted Soldier Type.

In the end, only the Ventecenia Kingdom’s unique Extraordinary Mage Masters remained on the list.

This group of Extraordinary Mages not only possessed a Casting Strength far exceeding that of regular Mages, but they had also mastered Control Magic with suppressive effects. Their power could be considered top-tier.

If it weren’t for the Gulad Empire’s Heaven-defying Royal Dragon Cavalry, the strength of those Extraordinary Mage Masters alone would have been enough for Ventecenia to secure its position as the number one power in the Lord World.

With just these Extraordinary Mages, they could have easily steamrolled every other power besides the Dragon Realm, including the long-since-destroyed Elf Kingdom.

After all, while the Elf Kingdom’s Extraordinary Archers could counter the aerial Royal Dragon Cavalry, they would have been utterly helpless against the terrifying, field-clearing single-shot damage of the Extraordinary Mage Masters, reduced to passively taking a beating with no way to fight back.

’So it seems the candidates for now are the Gulad Empire’s Royal Dragon Cavalry and the Ventecenia Kingdom’s Extraordinary Mage Masters.’

’However...’

’I don’t know the situation in the Dragon Realm yet.’

’If I can subjugate them, maybe I’ll find some even more powerful Divine Chosen Soldier Types there, like... Ancient Giant Dragons?’

’But would that thing be considered a Heroic Unit?’

’And be ineligible for the soldier type transformation?’

’Or maybe among the vassal Giant Dragons of the Dragon Realm, there’s a unit more powerful than the Extraordinary Dragon Cavalry and Extraordinary Mage Masters that is still eligible for the transformation’s benefits?’ 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Qin Feng didn’t dwell on this for too long. Forget the third stage of the Lord World; even the second stage hadn’t opened yet. He felt absolutely no anxiety about his current combat strength.

Therefore, he could set aside this "Soldier Type transformation" reward for now. It wouldn’t be too late to finalize his choice after he had thoroughly investigated the situation in the Dragon Realm.

’Alright then.’

’I’ll upgrade my Riding and Cutting Talents first.’

’3,000 Dragon Crystals! Let’s spend these points! Go!’

[You have consumed 1,000 Dragon Crystals to upgrade the Hidden Talents "More Prisoners" and "Middle-earth Warhammer" to the maximum level, LV5!]

[You have consumed 1,000 Dragon Crystals and acquired the brand-new Hidden Talent "Sword and Saber Weapon Pack from the Otherworld"!]
