Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 266 Under the Golden God’s Curse

He reached out and pressed the curse seal on his heart, and his majestic spiritual power was injected into it to fully activate the golden curse seal!
The next moment, his breath began to become crazy, and an extremely crazy power emerged spontaneously.

On his body surface, those curse lines grew like vines, spreading all over his body!

Even the pupils of his eyes were printed with mysterious golden patterns.

His overall temperament became monstrous and intimidating.

With a bang, flames spread across his body.

The flame he controlled was no longer the blue strange fire, but a fully upgraded golden flame.

At this moment, he was like the sun god descending into the world, like a golden sun, releasing his terrifying energy.

The surrounding area was damaged, and the flowers, plants, and trees were affected by the scorching golden flames and were completely reduced to ashes.

In order to prevent the environment from being destroyed too much, Xu Guan had to control the flame propulsion to lift himself into the air.

"Brother, why is there an extra sun in the sky?!" In the distance, a person in a safari team suddenly reined in his horse and exclaimed in surprise.

The rest of the team looked at the distant sky and were all amazed.

"It really is!"

"It's really evil"

"I said why is it so hot today? It's already winter."

“Something seems wrong”

Not only this team of hunters, but also some other people on the plain and even the ferocious beasts all raised their necks and looked at the extra golden sun in the sky in confusion, not knowing why.

Xu Guan quickly took off into the air, and the extremely cold air around him did not hinder him in the slightest.

He suddenly punched upward.

His cultivation has not yet reached the true master level, so his energy cannot penetrate his body.

But his golden flames exploded in circles following his punch.

The flames shot straight into the sky, scattering large, slightly gloomy clouds.

The sound of the explosion formed a sound wave, surging back and forth in the sky, like rolling thunder.

Feeling this power, Xu Guan's mood also lifted.

His vision has completely transcended the innate realm, and his eyes have fallen on the masters of the world.

He should have already entered the ranks of the truly powerful people in this world.

Even if his current cultivation level is still at the innate realm.

"The amount of Qi and blood has more than doubled." Xu Guan continued to evaluate the various changes in himself.

In his second form, he is the strongest and the peak of his current combat power.

At the same time, the consumption of the second form is also unparalleled, which is another form of overdraft for him.

Fortunately, Shura Demon's divine spell not only strengthened his vitality, but also strengthened his blood volume.

This makes it easier for him to maintain his second form, and it can last longer.

"Hey, that extra little sun was blocked by the dark clouds?"

"It really is!"

"What the hell just happened?"

People on the plain who had been watching the changes in the sky were unable to catch the fleeting trace of Xu Guan.

When the dark clouds drifted away, they never saw the little golden sun again.

After the news about the sudden appearance of the second sun spread, it became the talk of many people inside and outside the city.

But most people don't believe this rumor. After all, they have never seen it with their own eyes, and they only regard it as some interesting legends.

"Now I must have the strength of an eighth-level grandmaster!" Xu Guan, who returned to the city, was very confident at this time.

After integrating the full set of Moon God's spells before, he may still be a little unsure, after all, he has never fought against a strong master in reality.

But now, even though he still has not fought against a strong master, his confidence is sufficient.

He was convinced that this divine curse, which had been transformed into gold, must have helped him evolve to this point, and it might even be stronger than ordinary masters!
"Next, we have to consolidate it." Xu Guan said secretly.

In recent times, due to the continuous updating of divine curses, his own level of evolution has far exceeded anything before.

He needs a long period of time to settle down and polish his existing god-like body and strength.

It was like he suddenly had an extremely powerful magic weapon, but how to better control this magic weapon and further develop the power of the magic weapon was what he should focus on next.

In addition, although his spell level has reached a very high level, he does not want to waste his cultivation because of this. After all, this is the right path he should take.

Moreover, the two power systems each have their own advantages and disadvantages. If they can go hand in hand, it will naturally be the best choice.

After all, there is no conflict between the two for Xu Guan.

It is also worth mentioning that the day after Xu Guan cleared the Shura Demon dungeon, this dungeon disappeared.

Obviously, in reality, the Shura Demon has also been wiped out, and even the War Temple on the mountain has been completely destroyed by the Human Alliance.

After all, it was three powerful masters working together, and there was almost no suspense in destroying the Shura Demon.

Xu Guan had no regrets about this.

After all, he had completed the level in time and got what he wanted.

The most valuable items in this type of evil dungeon are basically the first kill rewards of the evil boss.

In addition, there are not many dungeon items that are still useful to Xu Guan at this moment.

And the three masters disappeared without a trace after eradicating the evil spirits.

Even with the intelligence network established by Zhang Yang, no relevant information could be traced.

In this regard, Xu Guan did not force himself. He continued to stay in the city and live a low-key life.

In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed and a new year has arrived.

Looking back on the year when the war stopped, all the city-states on the earth have regained a lot of vitality.

However, as soon as the shadow of the war receded, there were signs of its resurgence in the new year.

The Suicheng Army also began to recruit troops on a large scale this winter, and they were deployed outside, and several waves of fighting broke out with Nalan City.

Lancheng is to the west of Suicheng, and the two sides are almost mortal enemies.

In the wars of the past two years, the most fierce battle with Suicheng was Lancheng.

Now that the Lancheng Army is back, they still want to carry out the unfinished business and annex Suicheng!
For this reason, both sides launched several waves of marching trials during this cold winter.

The flames of war have completely burned into Suicheng!

The mood of the people in the city has also dropped to the lowest level, and they are complaining and cursing all kinds of things in this world.

Once the war breaks out again, they will be the ones who suffer.

Being forced to conscript soldiers is just the beginning, and food will be collected one after another as usual.

There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned. The more they fight to the end, the more they squeeze the people in the city. This situation is not unfamiliar.

This is why after two years of war, Suicheng suffered a serious population loss.

Those who could not bear the oppression fled the city to find another way out during the war years.

Outside the city, Tangbao.

"This comeback of Lancheng is an excellent opportunity." An old man from the Tang family said solemnly.

"Now let's see how determined the Lancheng Duan family is this time. If they just come here to test with bluff, it doesn't mean much." Tang Donglai shook his head. "The most important thing is that it is still unclear whether the Ye family member is actually injured as the news said. We need to continue to wait and see. We should not be anxious until we are completely sure."

Tang Jun, the master of Tangbao, nodded without saying anything.

His eyes were deep, looking far away in the direction of Suicheng.

"The Tang family has been away from Suicheng for too long."

In the city, in the courtyard.

Xiaoyao took a broom that was as tall as herself and swept away some snow in the yard.

"Sir, why are you guys fighting?" She suddenly pursed her lips and asked.

Probably because he often heard Zhang Yang reporting to Xu Guan about the war recently, he asked this question.

The beating she was talking about was naturally a war.

"There are many reasons. A rough summary is that it is due to human greed and desire. War can never be avoided." Xu Guan shook his head and said.

It is said that the little girl around her was also a victim of the war. If there had been no war, she might still be a little baby in that village, without the suffering she experienced later.

I'm afraid she hates war.

"The disputes between human races can never be stopped. All we can do is to make ourselves stronger and protect ourselves and those around us from war."

Xu Gu'an said this, Xiaoyao was speechless and silent. Although she was smart, she was still young after all and could not think deeply about many things.

But she still listened to Xu Guan's words.

"We must practice harder in the future!"

At the same age, she has actually worked very hard, and has done quite well in both her training and her daily work as a maid.

Only occasionally she would want to follow Xu Guan around the streets and play in interesting places.

After all, she is only a 13-year-old child.

Now, war is coming again, and people in the city are panicked. In this atmosphere, she also feels a little uneasy and scared.

I was afraid that the good days with Xu Guan would be gone forever.

Only by becoming stronger can we stay by Young Master's side!

This is what she thought.

In fact, Xiaoyao's current cultivation level has been quite fruitful.

He has been with Xu Guan for less than a year, and now he is already at the fifth level of bone.

This cultivation progress has been extremely amazing.

You must know that she has just turned 13 this year, and her body has not even officially entered the golden period of development. It is considered good that her cultivation talent can light up two or three achievements.

Generally speaking, only after the age of 20 can one's cultivation talents be fully activated and one can officially enter the peak cultivation state.

And Xiaoyao is still very early in her 20s.

However, this year, Xu Guan has officially entered his 20th year.

His current qualification level has reached B+ level.

Such a change was due to what his golden divine spell brought about after exceeding the limit.

Although his talent is still not comparable to that of Xiao Yao, he can definitely be regarded as a rare genius in the world.

Compared with the character card, his qualifications definitely qualify him to become a purple card.

And he has indeed found that his practice efficiency has improved recently. Whether it is the daily practice of Kung Fu or the improvement of his understanding of martial arts, he has become much more comfortable.

From time to time, he would have a blessed moment of enlightenment, telling him all the time that he was really a genius now.

It is completely different from the difficult training in the initial period.

That night.

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the city, and half of Suicheng heard the noise.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Some chaotic shouts and alarm bells came one after another, and countless sleeping residents were startled.

Especially those who were close to the city wall heard more intense noises and were extremely panicked.

"What's going on?" Xu Gu'an paused his task of spawning monsters and couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhang Yang walking over in a hurry.

"It was the Lancheng Army who launched a night attack, bypassing the front line and attacking Suicheng directly. They probably wanted to create some turmoil and panic in Suicheng." Zhang Yang got the information very quickly and reported it.

Xu Guan was a little surprised. It was really unexpected that they reached Suicheng so quickly.

After all, the Ye family has made full preparations and deployed defenses after hearing the news in advance. There are also many plateau fortresses guarding Suicheng.

Under such circumstances, the opponent was able to launch this attack unexpectedly, which proved that the opponent should not be underestimated and was coming with menacing force.

"Sir, I'm a little worried. Maybe we should have made plans earlier." Zhang Yang frowned and continued.

He felt more and more that there was an undercurrent surging in Suicheng, and it could even be called a situation of internal and external troubles.

If something happens to Suicheng in the future, the move they made in Suicheng may not be a good one.

Whether he can escape unscathed by then is a question.

Xu Guan nodded and asked, "How is the construction of Xianlin Town going?"

"It has begun to take shape, enough to accommodate 2000 people. It is expected that in three months, the second wave of planning areas will be completed, which will increase this number to more than [-]." Zhang Yang replied immediately.

This Xianlin Town is a self-reliance plan that has been implemented since last year.

Zhang Yang is a man of action. After he proposed the idea and got Xu Guan's approval, he started preparing for the matter that day.

Site selection, purchasing building materials, hiring caravans for delivery, recruiting large quantities of craftsmen and a large number of laborers, and many other matters.

Here, the preparation for everything is not easy.

The first is site selection, and there are many aspects that need to be considered.

It cannot be too close to other towns, nor can it border other occupied territories, otherwise it will definitely cause disputes and troubles.

But it shouldn't be too remote. In such a place, there is a high probability that ferocious beasts are rampant and the land is desolate and barren.

Zhang Yang needed to make repeated considerations and trade-offs, and finally selected several Borderlands as alternatives and handed them over to Xu Guan for the final decision.

After Xu Guan made the final decision, subsequent construction plans could be launched one after another.

It is not difficult for Zhang Yang to purchase building materials and hire a caravan to deliver them.

With the channels he has now expanded in Suicheng, it is enough for him to purchase the large amount of building materials he wants in a short period of time and contact the appropriate caravan escort.

However, the subsequent recruitment of craftsmen was somewhat cumbersome and difficult.

Considering that the construction site is quite far away from Suicheng, and a round trip takes more than a month, most of the craftsmen in the city are unwilling to go there.

Even if Zhang Yang launches a financial offensive, he can only impress a very small number of craftsmen candidates.

Therefore, Zhang Yang had no choice but to expand his recruitment scope to include major villages and towns outside the city.

But even so, the manpower problem has not been completely solved.

It was basically impossible to quickly build the town of the size he wanted. Zhang Yang could only divide the area, plan it step by step, and build slowly.

As for the rest of the workforce, he basically recruited them from refugees.

These are cheap labor forces that can be put to good use as long as they are properly managed, and can even replace the workload of missing craftsmen to a certain extent.

Now that several months have passed, the construction results of Xianlin Town are still quite smooth.
