Chapter 165: Chapter 117: Breakthrough, Tier Five Mage! Crack— With the disappearance of the barrier, David’s spiritual power suddenly surged. It unexpectedly broke through the shackles of Tier Four Spirit Power. Causing his spiritual power to successfully advance to Tier Five, the terrifying spiritual power raged continuously! David opened his eyes, connecting to the Heart of Ice Element within his Spiritual World. Then he felt as if he had merged with the entire world around him! In this realm, he was the embodiment of the ice element, able to control the power of the ice freely, turning the entire world into a frozen realm! "Finally, Tier Five." "No wonder it’s an extraordinary-level ice element talent." David exhaled a breath of cold air. Feeling the powerful spiritual power surging in his Spiritual World and the extraordinary Heart of Ice Element that had been condensed. At the same time, he could sense that Tier Five Spiritual Power greatly enhanced his other talents. Just like his Beastification Talent, when he transformed into the full-state form as a Tier Six Nine-tailed Fox, the duration would be much longer. There was also the enhancement effect of the Beastification Talent on the Tier Seven Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline. Although he couldn’t fully mobilize the Tier Seven Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline, he could still use spiritual power to activate a portion equivalent to the Tier Six Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline’s power. Apart from this, there was also the Earth Element Talent. Although he hadn’t yet condensed the Heart of Earth Element, his control over the Earth Element was notably stronger. The range of the Earth Control Ability expanded, and the power of Earth Magic was also enhanced. His spiritual power elevated to Tier Five. It was a comprehensive improvement to his strength, pushing his might to a whole new level! "I wonder if it can enhance my knight’s power." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦 A thought crossed David’s mind as he remembered when he first condensed his Fighting Qi. It was after obtaining the Ice Element Talent, further activating the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline. The condensation of Ice Fighting Qi was also related to the Ice Element Talent. Moreover, the cultivation method for a Tier Seven Knight is Elemental Body Refining. With the Heart of Elements and Tier Five Spiritual Power, he might truly facilitate Elemental Body Refining! Thinking of this, David felt a burning excitement within him. He began to mobilize his Ice Fighting Qi, and instantly, waves of cold air exuded continuously! Due to his Ice Element Talent already reaching an extraordinary level, David could distinctly feel the ice energy within the Ice Fighting Qi becoming stronger! Especially after he activated the talent ability of the Heart of Elements. A surge of ice energy flowed into the Fighting Qi, causing it to condense continually, gradually becoming substantial! At this moment, relying on powerful ice strength, the Fighting Qi directly transformed into a tangible Ice Sword. Although the Fighting Qi remained at Tier Five Peak, the intensity of the Ice Fighting Qi indeed broke through Tier Five Peak, reaching Tier Six! "Indeed, the extraordinary ice element talent can strengthen Fighting Qi!" A smile appeared in David’s heart, just like before. The Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline and Ice Element Talent complemented each other, helping him improve his strength better. "Next will be the Frost Wolf Spirit," David murmured. The Frost Wolf Spirit itself contained the soul power of the Frost Giant Wolf. If he could also elevate the Snow Demon Spirit to Tier Seven, his strength would become even stronger! ... Thus, time passed bit by bit. In just half a month, a new round of war began in the Silver Moon Kingdom. The Duke of the Southern Border and the kingdom’s army commander led the coalition into the Southern Territory. After several major battles, the coalition had advanced to the southernmost Southern Fortress. But at the Southern Fortress, the war reached a stalemate. Although the kingdom had two Tier Six Earth Knights who could overpower the Duke of the Southern Border directly, the Southern Fortress is very special. Unlike the natural barriers in the Western and Eastern Territories, it directly borders another kingdom. Therefore, the Southern Fortress, like the Northern Fortress, bears the heavy responsibility of guarding the territory of the Silver Moon Kingdom and is difficult to break through frontally. Moreover, the Southern and Northern Fortresses are built in areas rich in elements. And there’s a special barrier set up, utilizing the vast elemental power beneath the fortress! This allows the Duke of the Southern Border in the Southern Fortress to completely possess the power to counter two Tier-level powerhouses alone! As a result, the kingdom’s army can’t rely on the two Tier Six powerhouses to forcefully seize the city; they can only let the soldiers assault the fortress, taking the Southern Fortress head-on. ... Frost Wolf Ridge. Inside the Wizard Castle. David was mobilizing his spiritual power and casting summoning magic. By refining certain items from summoned creatures into a special summoning medium, one can cast summoning magic. However, the scope of summoning magic is also limited. Annie only possesses Tier Three Spiritual Power, so her summoning range cannot exceed the Northern Lands. But David previously had Tier Four Spiritual Power, allowing him to cast summoning magic reaching the Southern Territory. Now, with his spiritual power advancing to Tier Five, casting summoning magic was even easier. With the activation of summoning magic, a seemingly ordinary small black mouse was summoned by him. This little black mouse was caught by David in the Crystal Song Forest. He used a Spirit Contract to turn it into his Messenger Magic Pet and then secretly handed it to a spy in the Southern Territory. These spies were secretly cultivated; they themselves didn’t even know to whom they were loyal. Moreover, these Messenger Magic Pets are the best observers, so David wasn’t worried about these spies revealing his identity. At this moment, by summoning magic, he indeed obtained a lot of information about the Southern Territory from within the small black mouse.
