Chapter 340: Harvest: High-Tier Class [Lord of Corruption]
April 19th.
Despair Valley.
For the past three days, the Oasis Humans dared not approach the central area of the Oasis, because the Lord Hero was temporarily staying there.
Of course, they weren't afraid of the Lord Hero, but of the dragon he had captured. An oppressive, fear-inducing pressure shrouded that area.
Little Nick's mother wanted to see the dragon that had killed her child, but before she could even get close, she was knocked unconscious by that pressure.
Within the Oasis, only the most powerful, Alar, was able to approach that area.
Tap!
Carrying a meal, Alar trod on the soft green grass and arrived at the central area near the water source, a fine layer of sweat unconsciously beading on her forehead.
It was not her first time approaching this place, yet her body still tensed uncontrollably. A sense of horror and panic rose from the bottom of her heart, like a cat whose fur suddenly stood on end upon sensing danger.
“Huu... huu...”
She took two deep breaths to calm the palpitations in her heart.
Alar walked deeper again. She could already hear the trickling sound of flowing water, and a not-so-large wooden cabin came into view.
A faint bloody scent hung in the air, and she could vaguely feel that the temperature here seemed slightly higher than the surrounding area.
She merely glanced at the wooden cabin.
Alar felt a heart-stopping terror, an urge to drop the food in her hands and flee. This emotion of “fear” was completely beyond her control.
Even when she had faced the powerful Gray Dwarf Race, with her entire tribe on the brink of extinction, Alar had never been as terrified as she was now.
She had heard the Lord Hero mention that this seemed to be a power called dragon's aura, which could have a suppressive effect on enemies.
It was too terrifying.
Even after being defeated and captured alive by the Lord Hero, it could still release such power.
Alar truly couldn't imagine just how powerful and magnificent the Lord Hero, who could fight and defeat a dragon, really was.
Alar sighed inwardly. That was a realm she could no longer comprehend.
This unimaginable power filled Alar, who revered strength, with fascination, adoration, and a longing admiration.
“I've troubled you, Alar.”
A faint, gentle voice came from within the cabin.
As the voice appeared, Alar's body trembled unnaturally, like a believer's irrepressible excitement and worship upon receiving a response from their god.
She carefully placed the meal in her hands at a spot about ten meters away from the wooden cabin.
“Your... f-food is here, Lord Hero.”
Alar stuttered slightly, unsure if it was due to the pressure in the air or her own nervousness.
She didn't dare get any closer to the wooden cabin, afraid she would make an unsightly fool of herself due to the power of the dragon's aura and be seen by the Lord Hero.
After putting down the food, Alar finally left the area.
“Creeak— Squeak—”
The wooden door was pulled open.
Tang Zheng walked out of the wooden cabin, his face a mask of complex thoughts. He came to the spot where the tray was placed, sat down cross-legged, and began to eat heartily.
With his current strength, going hungry for a few days wouldn't be a problem. However, as a member of the human race, basic needs like breathing, eating, and sleeping didn't disappear just because his power increased.
For the past two days, he had been studying the [Heart of the True Dragon Lord]. The more he studied it, the more he discovered the heart's uniqueness. It didn't just contain alchemy technology.
It also held the power of some special magic and rituals.
In short, it was a huge headache.
The Eight Greed Kings possessed the World Item [Nameless Spellbook]. The basic effect of this World Item was that it recorded all the Tier Magic in the world.
This naturally included all the Tier Magic from the game YGGDRASIL before its arrival. Moreover, Tang Zheng couldn't be certain if this World Item had developed other derivative abilities after appearing in the Otherworld.
After all, in the lore, every World Item was an item condensed from a destroyed world, possessing power comparable to an entire world.
If this [Heart of the True Dragon Lord] was created using an ability derived from the [Nameless Spellbook], then no matter how much he studied it, he would inevitably get no results.
Therefore, Tang Zheng's current line of thinking wasn't to figure out how the heart was made, but how it turned the dragonoid Ladon into a dragon.
Simply put, he didn't need to know how to build a refrigerator for now; he just needed to figure out how to use one.
Three days passed with no breakthroughs, but Tang Zheng did manage to get some more information about the Eight Greed Kings from the mouth of the dragonoid Ladon.
For example, the individual appearances of the Eight Greed Kings, speculations about their races, and so on. There was also one other matter that he was quite concerned about.
500 years ago, the sole survivor among the Six Great Gods, the Dark God Surshana, did not initially clash with the Eight Greed Kings.
“Theorizing based on the timeline, the Eight Greed Kings only suddenly went to war with the ‘Dark God’ Surshana after annihilating a large number of Dragon Lords, and they ended up killing him.”
“There must have been some kind of irreconcilable conflict. Perhaps the Slane Theocracy knows more.”
Lost in thought, Tang Zheng finished his meal in large mouthfuls, then stood up and walked back into the wooden cabin.
Click!
The wooden door closed again.
Inside the empty room, the dragonoid Ladon lay unconscious on the ground, still under the control of Charm Species.
Tang Zheng surmised that the dragon's aura automatically emanating from him likely originated from the [Heart of the True Dragon Lord].
It had little effect on him, to a negligible degree.
The level difference between them wasn't large to begin with, and the [Valkyrie]'s Divine Blessing Body also provided strong resistance to various debuffs.
For the moment, Tang Zheng didn't look at the dragonoid Ladon. Instead, he focused his gaze on his status panel. In the past two days, besides his research, he hadn't forgotten to collect Experience.
[Experience Slot: 5,500,001 / 360,000]
He had collected 4.5 million Experience in three days, and adding the previous 1 million, he had accumulated 5.5 million.
“That's enough to raise [Dark Knight] to max level.” A faint smile appeared on Tang Zheng's lips.
In the past, he wouldn't have been able to waste time researching magic and items; just collecting 5.5 million Experience would have been enough of a headache for him.
*Consume Experience.*
Tang Zheng willed it in his mind.
The Experience in his Experience Slot began to rapidly deplete.
————
Overall Level: 51
[Experience Slot: 440,001 / 850,000]
Class:
Basic Class: Genius 10 Lv (Warrior…)
Intermediate Class: Dark Knight 10 Lv
Advanced/Special Class: …
————
As the 5.5 million Experience was consumed in one go, [Dark Knight] was finally raised to max level.
Tang Zheng sat cross-legged in the wooden cabin, his entire aura surging as his level increased. As he broke through Level 50, a faint, shimmering light flashed across the surface of his skin.
Unlike a mere increase in stats, this time, Tang Zheng perceived it carefully, sensing a change in his very life level, originating from within his physical body and radiating outward. Although it lasted only for an instant, the sensation was incredibly clear.
If he hadn't been paying close attention, it would have been easy to confuse it with the increase in physical strength that came with a stat boost.
