Chapter 518: A turtle in a jar

There aren't many dual-class Ascendants.

After all, there aren’t many Ascendants who awaken, let alone two classes of Ascendants, which is even fewer.

At first, the world's first dual-class Ascender attracted attention from all sides as soon as he appeared.

The Golden Council poured all its resources into cultivating him, and this dual-class Ascender did not disappoint them, growing very fast and continuously advancing in both classes.

But just after they were both promoted to Level 4, problems began to arise.

The biggest drawback of a dual-class Ascender is the chaos of sublimation!

At low levels, the two job levels are like parallel lines, not interfering with each other and each improving on its own.

But once you cross the watershed of job level 4, the originally parallel lines begin to intersect and even become entangled.

This resulted in confusion in the progress of a certain class's upgrade.

And this chaos will affect the body of the sublimator over time.

For a sublimator of a single job class, the characteristics of the job class will become more and more obvious as the job level increases.

For example, the Fortress class, this type of Ascendant will become stronger and stronger, and their physical strength will continue to improve.

However, for dual-class Ascenders, after Class 4, conflicts in characteristics will occur.

These chaos and conflicts, in addition to affecting the promotion of the sublimator, can also have a huge impact on the body. In severe cases, it can even lead to physical collapse and death.

Therefore, later generations of dual-class ascenders, after class 4, often suppress the sublimation of one of the classes by taking targeted drugs, and only focus on advancing to a single class.

Only a very lucky few can push their dual classes to higher ranks.

But this is one in a million.

Therefore, after suppressing one class, the dual-class Ascenders became mediocre.

However, dual-class ascenders also have their own unique features.

Because they have two classes, even if one of them stops growing at Class 4, they can still use the abilities of both classes.

This makes them versatile on the battlefield, able to handle more complex situations than other Ascendants.

Tianyang remembered that the dual-class Ascender named Cai'er from the Li family seemed to have reached level 4 in both classes, which meant that she had to start suppressing the growth of one of the classes.

In addition to Cai'er, Nuo Jin's intelligence shows that among the brothers of the Li family, the second brother Li Ye is still a level 4 Ascender, the third brother Li Cheng and the head of the family Li Wei are both level 5 Slayers.

Including Cai'er who has two professions, there are only these few people in the Li family who can be considered good fighters.

Looking at the list of important people to pay attention to drawn up by Nuo Jin, Tian Yang even felt... pity for the Li family.

Moreover, Nuo Jin's information pointed out that after the family competition, the Li family was targeted by another family, the Xiao family.

It was probably because he, the "God of Death", had caused the Xiao family a lot of trouble in the family competition. The Xiao family found him again and could only vent their anger on the Li family.

In short, the Li family's situation is not good, with some internal and external troubles. However, in recent times, they have been very close to a senior official of Tiebi.

Unfortunately, Nuo Jin couldn't find out who the senior official was, or what interests led the Li family to work with him.

But it doesn’t matter, this information is enough for Tianyang.

The last part of the intelligence was the assets of the Li family. According to Nuo Jin's assessment, the contribution points that the Li family could use were between 200,000 and 300,000, and all the family assets together would not exceed one million.

Looking at these numbers, Tianyang roughly guessed several reasons why the Li family did not take his message seriously.

One of them must be related to the lack of assets. After all, the 100,000 contribution points he asked for were already one-third or even half of their liquid funds.

Anyone would feel heartbroken.

But what does that have to do with me

Tianyang burned the information, then cooked, ate, and rested...

When the time came to nine o'clock in the evening, Tianyang snapped his fingers and entered the drifting town.

Upper town, family residence.

Li's house.

Li Wei, smelling slightly of alcohol, walked along the corridor towards his bedroom.

His hair was a little messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and from time to time a few swear words came out from between his teeth. It seemed that the head of the Li family was in a bad mood.

Yes, Li Wei is in a bad mood now.

At the family meeting just held, the second son Li Ye once again opposed his proposal. Moreover, Cai Er, who was gradually emerging in the family competition, also stood on his side.

This made it impossible for Li Wei to carry out his decision, so he had to choose another time to make a decision.

"Damn it!"

Li Wei suddenly punched the railing of the corridor, and the wooden fence cracked and was broken by him.

After letting out this breath, Li Wei felt better. He opened the bedroom door and saw his wife sitting upright, seemingly waiting for him to come back.

Li Wei's wife was his second wife. She was 15 years younger than him, beautiful and plump, and she was deeply loved by Li Wei.

Seeing his wife, Li Wei's mood improved and he asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Are you waiting for me?"

For some reason, the young lady did not answer. Her beautiful eyes, filled with fear, stared at Li Wei.

Li Wei frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, Li Wei discovered that the lady was not looking at him.

Strictly speaking, it means looking behind you.

Li Wei's reaction was not slow, and the astral energy in his body immediately began to stir, but a pulling feeling came from behind him. Li Wei felt someone pulling his clothes, and his body fell backwards involuntarily.

His gaze then moved upwards from his wife to the ceiling of the bedroom, and then to a sky covered with gray clouds.

Sky

When Li Wei reacted, he found a strange arch in front of him. Above the arch was a pair of black wings spread out, outlined by silver light.

The wings folded together, covering the archway, and then turned into bubbles and disappeared into the air.

Li Wei stood there in a daze, his mind unable to react. He didn't understand how he had been in the bedroom and ended up here in the blink of an eye.

There are not very wide streets here, with dilapidated houses on both sides and a gloomy sky overhead.

At first glance, it looks like a small town.

Then he heard a dry cough from behind.

Li Wei quickly turned around and saw someone standing behind him.

He was wearing a black cape, and under the hood was a crystal mask. Only one eye could be seen through the mask, and the eyes were cold.

"Who are you?"

Li Wei finally reacted and remembered his identity as the head of the family. He was furious and said, "Where is this place? I order you to send me back immediately, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" The voice from under the mask was calm, even with a hint of teasing.

Li Wei's eyes were blazing with fire: "Otherwise, I will make sure you die without a burial place! And all the people related to you, your relatives, friends, companions, they will all disappear from this world!"

"oh?"

Under the mask, the annoying voice rang out: "If this is the case,

If the head of the Yun family said this, it might make people a little afraid. As for you and your Li family, such a threat is simply a joke. "

Li Wei's heart skipped a beat.

He began to realize that the person opposite him was not so easy to scare.

"What do you want to do?"

The masked man said calmly, "Debt collection."

"Debt collection?"

Li Wei said without thinking: "What a joke, the Li family has never owed anyone."

"Think about it carefully."

Li Wei suddenly remembered something after hearing what he said, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that you are the god of death?"

He is, of course, the Grim Reaper.

To be precise, it was Tianyang who played the role of 'Death'.

After entering the family residence through the crack door, Tianyang used the fog ghost amulet to easily enter the Li family.

When Li Wei appeared, he was taken directly to the drifting town. Here, Li Wei could be said to have no way to go up to heaven or enter the earth.

Became a real 'turtle in a jar'.

Li Wei looked around and swallowed his saliva: "It's just 100,000 contribution points. The Li family will give it to you. Send me back quickly."

This is a delaying tactic.

Li Wei had already made up his mind that as soon as the other party sent him back home, he would immediately get rid of this person with lightning speed.

"hehe."

Tianyang sneered in his mask and did not respond, but the Black Fire Crown appeared in his eyes.

The mood of the town changed.

Although he didn't see anything for the time being, Li Wei keenly felt that there was an inexplicable sense of oppression quietly rising in the town.

After a moment, he suddenly looked towards an alley nearby.

A figure walked out from inside.

A halberd first appeared from the shadows. There were black marks on the blade, which looked like solidified blood.

Next came a creature wearing heavy grey copper armor. The reason why it was called a creature, not a person, was because under the rusty armor was a mass of flesh that was constantly wriggling.

It looks like this set of armor and halberd are supported by this mass of flesh and blood.

This is a high-level Yama.

Tyrannical demon.

This kind of Yama has extremely high defense and tenacious vitality. From its thick armor and heavy halberd, it can be seen that it possesses terrifying power.

The Tyrannical Demon also has three abilities: 'Rage', 'Demonic Flame', and 'Life Absorption'.

'Frenzy' can greatly increase the power and physical strength of this Yama, making them extremely excited. They will ignore the attacks of their opponents and focus only on killing their own targets.

The 'Demonic Flame' cannot condense a fireball like the Heart of Elements, create violent flames, and carry out direct attacks. However, it can heat the surrounding space, making the air thin and hot, effectively affecting the opponent. In addition, a black-blue flame will be wrapped around the Tyrannical Demon's halberd, which can cause burning and ignition effects when it comes into contact with the enemy.

The final "absorb life" is to kill the opponent, then absorb the target's blood and flesh essence through predation to heal the injuries suffered by oneself.

The abilities of the Tyrannosaurus are fairly simple, but very useful and can be used in conjunction with each other.

However, it is not without its shortcomings.

Its mobility is far inferior to that of the Snake Demon, and it has no means of medium and long-range attacks. If it faces an Ascendant like the Hunter, it can be completely worn down by the "kite tactics".

Unfortunately, Li Wei is not a hunter.

and,

He had nothing in his hands.
