Zhou Huai had a premonition.
It wouldn't be long before a massive war definitely broke out within Sakura Country.
Relying solely on Caesar, a single Clone, wouldn't be enough.
He had to increase the strength of all his Clones as quickly as possible.
After entering the Instance, Zhou Huai directly selected Hell difficulty for them.
【Instance: Guarding athena (Hell Difficulty)】
【Mission Objective: Guard the statue of athena and resist thirty waves of Strange Beast attacks.】
The mont the scene switched, a piercing alarm blared throughout the entire space.
At the end of the White Jade Plaza, the four distinct areas seed to be simultaneously injected with violent energy.
This was the first ti his Clones had participated in an Instance activity as a group.
An endless army of Strange Beasts surged in like a tide from all directions.
The ground shook violently under the stampede of ten thousand beasts, as if it were about to crack open the next second.
The sky was obscured by the flapping wings of Flying Strange Beasts, casting continuous shadows.
However, facing this apocalyptic scene, the five figures standing before the statue of athena showed no sign of emotion.
Xiang Yu took a step forward.
His burly body swelled against the wind, instantly transforming into a ten-ter-tall Demon God.
Pitch-black Heavy Armor covered his entire body, and his double pupils held the imposing dominance of an overlord looking down on the world.
He stood alone at the very front, like an insurmountable mountain range.
"Roar—!"
Overlord's Taunt activated.
Invisible sound waves swept out in all directions, centered on him.
The aggro of all Strange Beasts was instantly locked onto him; they abandoned their other targets and rushed madly toward the heaven-reaching Demon God, their eyes scarlet.
Yaso's figure followed closely behind.
He did not possess the earth-shattering might of Xiang Yu, but he was like a bolt of lightning traversing a storm.
The long blade was unsheathed, and lightning flashed.
A single man and a single blade, he proactively charged into the most turbulent Beast [N O V E L I G H T] Tide.
Blade light flickered, and every swing brought forth a dazzling burst of lightning.
The power of thunder and lightning conducted wildly through the dense beast group, and the splashing electric arcs, like the Grim Reaper's spiderwebs, instantly charred large numbers of low-level Strange Beasts.
In the rear, Da Yi slowly raised the Ancient Longbow in his hand.
He did not nock an arrow; he rely gazed calmly into the distance.
Star Do Vision activated.
In his vision, the entire battlefield transford into a star map composed of countless energy nodes.
The Elite-level and Boss-level Strange Beasts mixed within the Beast Tide, whose aura was exceptionally powerful, stood out like torches in the dark night.
He released the bowstring.
An arrow condensed from starlight appeared out of thin air, streaking across the sky.
The arrow seed to possess a life of its own, ignoring distance and obstacles, accurately piercing the center of the forehead of a Demon Mage hidden behind the beast group, who was chanting a Spell.
Starlight Beacon, attached.
The next mont, Da Yi's speed in drawing the bow reached its extre.
Versatile Arrow Rain activated.
Countless starlight arrows poured out like a teor shower, each one automatically tracking a powerful target he had marked.
Behind the Beast Tide, clusters of dazzling "fireworks" instantly erupted.
At the sa ti, Moria's figure quietly rged into the shadows on the ground.
He moved through the corners of the battlefield like a phantom.
Following his whispers, Shadow Assassins holding sharp blades crawled out of the shadows, one by one.
Like the most efficient assassins, they precisely harvested the lives of high-threat units.
Whenever a Shadow Assassin completed a kill, the target's corpse would quickly shrivel up, transform into new Devilish Qi, and give rise to another, stronger killer.
In the blink of an eye, a massive Shadow Legion had quietly ford deep within the enemy's territory.
anwhile, the rhythm of the entire battlefield was completely ignited by a wild and unrestrained lody.
Sona's Guitarist frantically strumd the strings, and an impassioned solo tore through the sky.
The Drumr was drenched in sweat, and the heavy, powerful drumbeats struck everyone's heart like war hamrs.
Powerful rock music transford into visible sound waves, sweeping across the entire area.
Checkpoints that ordinary teams couldn't break through even with all their might were easily cleared by this team, like chopping vegetables.
Five hours later.
【Challenge Successful】
Four cold System characters floated above the Instance space.
Zhou Huai controlled Zhuge Kongming, standing alongside Gao Yuan in the Spectator Space, silently watching everything.
With a thought, he brought up the experience point records in the backend.
A series of astronomical experience points made Zhou Huai nod in satisfaction.
Not bad.
The experience points of every Clone had seen a significant increase.
This leveling speed was already comparable to the Beast Tide event in Donghai City back then.
It might even surpass it.
The only expenditure was likely energy.
The experience points converted out of thin air were essentially the materialization of energy.
The energy source for the Instance was the Magic Crystal acting as the Core Formation Eye.
Zhou Huai made a rough calculation.
A full run of the Hell difficulty "Guarding athena" Instance, from start to finish, consud exactly one entire Magic Crystal.
For one Instance, this energy consumption was terrifying.
One must know that typically, a single Magic Crystal is enough to maintain the normal operation of a dium-sized Instance for one to three months.
Yet, his Instance consud the energy of an entire Magic Crystal in a single run.
The key to this lay in the experience points converted and given to the Professionals after the Strange Beasts were killed.
Although the Simon City Instance at the Imperial Capital Academy was massive and simulated the grand scene of a Beast Tide attacking a city.
However, the students participating in the Instance played a negligible role within it.
The experience points they could obtain from the Strange Beasts were pitifully small.
Most of the energy was spent on maintaining the operation of the Instance scenario.
Therefore, the energy required to maintain the operation of an Instance of that level was actually much smaller than that of "Guarding athena."
Unless... unless a few freaks like Gandalf entered.
Standing on the city wall, recklessly casting Forbidden Spells regardless of the cost, and absorbing massive amounts of experience points.
Only that would cause a huge consumption of Magic Crystal energy.
During the days when Gandalf was still at the Imperial Capital Academy, the Magic Crystal consumption of the Instance Tower was unprecedentedly huge.
The person in charge of the Tower reported this multiple tis to the Imperial Capital Academy Principal, but the Principal suppressed all the reports.
Zhou Huai himself did not know these internal details at the ti.
Now that it was his turn to be the master and personally run an Instance.
He truly realized how terrifying the operating cost of a high-yield Instance actually was.
Fortunately, the one thing he didn't lack now was Magic Crystals.
He currently still had at least fifteen thousand Magic Crystals seized from the Zhou Family.
That was enough to support his extravagance for a long ti.
He needed to use these Magic Crystals to quickly build a team with formidable combat power in the shortest amount of ti.
