Chapter 7: The Invisible Barrel Bomb

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

  The Elf Princess and two elders were escorted by Lei Heng, the Great Demon Master, and Dong Jianzong, among others, to safely arrive at the Elf tribe.

  Because the beast tribe troops may arrive before the imperial army, under the repeated persuasion of the Elf King, Lei Heng, the Great Demon Master, stayed in the Elf Tribe to ensure that nothing went wrong. It is worth noting that any system's Great Demon Master is at least equivalent to 10,000 elite soldiers, especially fire and dark systems which are even more formidable.

  The four legions' men and horses also returned one after another, combining with the Holy Dragon Legion of the Imperial City to form a combat legion of 900,000 people! And the news that the ten-year-old Long Tianyu was in command spread throughout the entire empire.

  Many people sneered at the idea of a ten-year-old child controlling a large army. Of course, there were also many knowledgeable individuals who understood the political implications, for imperial power struggles are not something that ordinary people can comprehend.

  Furong Zhai was only twelve years old, Mu Rong Xue Yi! This news also brought a huge sensation. Mu Rong Xue Yi was not simple, she was a famous beauty and talented woman in the imperial city, like a budding ice lotus flower.

  In the Tianlong Empire, it's not uncommon for women to take charge. There was even a 16-year-old female general in history! Mu Rong Xue just set a new record.

  …………

  "Kapan has been gone for three days, and although he is exceptionally powerful, I still worry about him!" Long Yanba stood at the window of the bedroom, looking into the distance, with Huyan Zhi Jing and Murong Da Guan standing behind him.

  "What happened after Da Guan ate the sacred fruit and recovered?"

  The holy fruit mentioned by Long Yanbao is the fruit of the Tree of Light, which is located in the center of the Holy See and is said to have been planted by the God of Light. This fruit only ripens once every ten years and is a treasure that can restore and enhance one's strength. Coincidentally, the holy fruit that ripens once every ten years has just formed, and Long Yanbao wants to use it to help Long Tianyu recover.

  "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is not only recovering physically, but his strength has also reached that of a fifth-rank swordsman!"

  Such a sacred fruit, Tianyu's strength is actually low, it would be strange if he didn't upgrade, this point did not surprise him.

  …………

  "Sister, take care, go slowly!" Long Tianyu saw off and came back to look after his fourth sister, Long Tianwei.

  Looking at the empty bedroom, Long Tianyu finally let out a breath.

  In three days, Long Tianyu slowly learned the steps and palm shapes of Bagua Palm without a teacher. His palm technique was similar to that of Zhuan Nai Long's claw hand, which he himself thought was ugly.

  However, through gradual practice of indoor exercises to train his body, with the help of memory and books, Long Tianyu gradually adapted to meditation to recover magical powers and improve his fighting spirit.

  Every time someone comes to see him, Long Tianyu rushes to the bedside, jumps up, and then quickly covers himself with a quilt, pretending he's still not fully recovered.

  "Father, older brother is still okay, but if Tian Wei sister comes a few more times, I really can't take it!"

  Long Tianwei is lively and lovely, loves to chat, and can talk for an entire afternoon. Long Tianyu's memory is already fragmented, and he can't even recall some things, often making a fool of himself. Moreover, he heard that he has to lead troops to rescue the Spirit Clan!

  My current body can't even last long on a slide, let alone horseback riding. Being able to exercise a bit is already a lot.

  "Yesterday, that white fruit seemed magical, it actually raised me two ranks, haha! And I got two skill points, oh my god! Maria! In the name of my trust in you, Yu City, bless me to get good skills randomly!"

  Long Tianyu's words sound pleasant, but he doesn't even have the posture of praying, listening to him makes Xiao San want to shut down her auditory system.

  "Master! After you've chosen your skills, let's cultivate and meditate some more tonight. There should still be a skill point left!" Long Tianyu, who was about to lie down, sat up again.

  "No way! I didn't feel like I was going to be promoted to a 6th rank swordsman, how did I get skill points?"

  "Master, the distribution of your skill points is not based on this world's level division, but rather refers to your overall strength. Whether it's physical strength, internal energy or magical power, as long as the overall value increases, you can obtain skill points. Of course, obtaining skill points mostly occurs during breakthroughs, and sometimes also possible in other stages of the middle period!"

  Listening to the sound of Xiao San's mechanical voice, Long Tianyu was overjoyed! This means that he has more opportunities to break through to the front of the sword master, and in the future, there will be more skill points to make himself stronger!

  "I heard that this time it's my fiancée who is the comeback queen! I heard she was already a stunning beauty at 12 years old, with a chest that's both prominent and perky! Haha, bro can't wait!"

  If Hong Xiang came in at this time, he would definitely see an ugly scene. The person he respected most in his heart was now thinking of evil things with a sly expression, and saliva slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth. As a prince, he actually had such morals.

  "Master, hurry up and choose your skills! After you're done, I'm going to sleep!" Little Three's mechanical voice urged for the umpteenth time.

  "Shut up, San! You think I don't want to choose? I have to make sure no one is coming in!" Long Tianyu looked around the door, quietly turned off the magic lamp and slipped under the covers.

  "I want to choose skills!"

  As Long Tianyu spoke, he felt the soul extractor start to work, and the second time he felt his soul being extracted from his body made him feel quite uncomfortable, as if he was in a washing machine's spin cycle.

  The eyes of the soul opened again, and once more saw the gigantic skill roulette.

  Looking at that small circle, I feel itchy in my heart, when can I have a big skill point!

  "Is the master two skill points together?"

  "Alright! Let's go! I'm all in!" As he gazed at the two faint white circles, they began to slowly accelerate. Long Tianyu felt his heart racing along with them, as if this were a game where lives were at stake!

  "Master, why are you closing your eyes? You're usually so bold, how come you don't dare look now?"

  "Mind your own business!"

  "The first one is out! It's Mòlán's 'Dynamite Barrel'!" Seeing the familiar skill of "Bomb Super Man", Long Tianyu's face was filled with excitement!

  The second skill slowly came to a halt! This time, Long Tianyu gazed at it with a fierce and venomous stare! It seemed like he was going to use his strength to make it stop at the ideal position!

  "The 'Fighting Nation' of Chanyu Ashina!"

  Xiao San immediately congratulated: "Master's second skill can enhance physical condition!"

  Long Tianyu's disappointed face lit up with excitement, "Speak quickly!"

  "One at a time, master! Mozlan's 'Bomb Barrel' level 1, explosion range of three square meters, power can cause varying degrees of injury to those below the swordmaster! Consumes magic! With your current magic, you can cast five times in one go!"

  "Not bad!" The 'explosive barrel' effect is much higher than what Long Tianyu imagined!

  "Single-handedly, Azuda's 'Battle Nation' level 1, increases learning by three percent for leg muscles and three percent for arm muscles. The effect is consolidated in normal state! Permanent effectiveness!"

  "What does 'little three' mean?"

  "The master said that your appearance won't change much, only some subtle and even imperceptible changes, but your muscle strength has increased!"

  Long Tianyu's soul returned to his body, he opened his eyes and sat up in bed, looking at the changes in his own body.

  "Sure enough, I've gotten stronger!" Long Tianyu flexed his biceps, making them bulge. He patted his leg muscles, which seemed to have become much more solid!

  "Master, with your physical foundation, the 'Fighting Nation' skill, there's no way to notice any changes from the outside before level 5! This is just psychological!"

  Long Tianyu was reminded by Xiao San, his face turned red, "I'm narcissistic! Can't I? Try the effect!" In World of Warcraft, 'Fighting Nation' is a halo skill that increases attack speed and movement speed, but in another world, it has been changed to strengthen muscles, but this is just a change in name, the effect type is the same.

  His own palace is quite large, and Long Tianyu is running around inside to feel the speed. Indeed, there's a slight improvement, symbolically waving his fist, vaguely feeling the change. "This magic beast skill isn't just for show! Even at level one, I can feel it! At level ten, I'll become a super Saiyan!"

  "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince?" The guard outside the door heard footsteps inside and knocked on the door to ask about the situation.

  "I'm working out! Tell Hong Xiang to bring me a plate of fruit!" Long Tianyu used to lead a group of younger brothers and had the memories of his predecessor, so he had a bit of a prince's demeanor. Moreover, he was only ten years old, although his personality had changed slightly from before, who would suspect anything!

  "Let's make a big deal out of this and try the 'Barrel of Gunpowder'! In World of Warcraft, the 'Barrel of Gunpowder' was really powerful in the early days. Placing 7 or 8 of them together on a narrow path, as soon as a hero passed by, "Boom Boom Boom" and they'd immediately get 155 gold (for killing an enemy hero)."

  "Barrel bomb used successfully! Barrel bomb test successful!"

  Long Tianyu thought of releasing explosive barrels, but he overthought it! "I can clearly feel that the magic has decreased by a third. It seems that Little Three's estimate was quite accurate!"

  Only two palm-sized 'explosive barrels' fell to the ground and disappeared after a second!

  "This thing looks quite cute, and there's even a skull on it! It's no different from a bigger firecracker!"

  Long Tianyu crouched down to observe carefully, the 'explosive barrel' had the characteristic of only being visible to himself. Of course, in this world, people with extremely high strength could also discover it if they looked closely. According to Xiao San's estimation, at least a Ninth-Order Sword Sovereign would be required!

  "Skill release! Cannot move! Cannot forcibly remove!" I thought to dig it myself, and throw away the TNT barrel, but unexpectedly my hands couldn't even touch it!

  "This time Long Tianyu panicked, 'If it were sister or father who came to see me! As soon as they entered the door, they wouldn't be severely injured, that's for sure!'"

  While still thinking in his heart, voices came from outside, "The Crown Prince has arrived!"

  Long Tianyu was startled by the sound and hurriedly prepared to open the door to block Long Tianao. But unexpectedly, Long Tianao had finally found time to see his younger brother and was anxious! Without even knocking on the sedan chair, he directly jumped out and pushed the door open!

  "Big brother! Don't!" Long Tianyu's words were left unspoken.

  "Boom!" "Boom!"

  Long Tian Ao stepped in with a bold and generous smile, his feet accurately stepping on one by one.

  Rolling black smoke completely blocked Long Tianyu's line of sight, the granite marble floor in front of the door was blown to pieces, and the red lacquer wooden door was shattered beyond recognition.

  "Big brother! Are you okay?"
