On the third day of arriving at the temple, Su Xiao was discovered muttering to himself by Nibi Si, and Su Xiao clearly understood how beneficial it was that Nibi Si could understand animal languages.
He only needed to ask Nibi Si about things he didn't understand.
Nibi Si looked to be only seventeen or eighteen, but the knowledge she possessed was beyond Su Xiao's imagination.
According to Nibi Si, when she was young, she followed the previous generation of nuns out of Fallen Dragon City, and Falling Dragon Valley was extremely dangerous.
Ordinary people could only go around Falling Dragon Valley, and even so, the countless dangerous sections of the path made even Nibi Si, in the present, sigh with emotion that she had survived back then.
But that trip outside the city allowed her to witness many things she had never seen before, and she learned various kinds of knowledge outside.
Su Xiao also learned that the temple throughout its history only had one nun or priest, which meant that the vast Fallen Dragon City only had this one temple, and there was only one nun in the temple.
On the fourth day, Su Xiao finally saw a person on the verge of death being carried in, seeking treatment.
Those people were wearing leather armor and carrying weapons.
Nibi Si's hands emitted a faint green light, and two green magic arrays encircled Nibi Si's wrists.
It took half an hour for the person's condition to stabilize; although he was covered in wounds, he was no longer bleeding and was out of danger.
Afterward, everyone carried the person away.
"Why didn't you completely heal him?" Su Xiao asked, puzzled.
Nibi Si shook her head and said, "I am only a nun, not a true physician or healing mage.
I don't have enough magic power to completely heal them; I can only help them escape life-threatening danger as much as possible.
Unless they are in extreme financial difficulty, they won't come to the temple for treatment, which is why I spend most of my time praying devoutly every day."
"Are those people adventurers too?" Su Xiao asked, looking at the temple's main gate slowly closing by itself.
Nibi Si shook her head slightly, sighed, and said, "No, they are just ordinary city residents.
Their levels are generally not high; they usually just hunt some ordinary animals to sustain themselves.
I don't know what they encountered this time to cause such a situation."
Days passed one by one, and Su Xiao watched as the simulated cooldown time on the panel finally reached 0, and he quickly initiated a new simulation.
This time, he wanted to improve his strength and delve deeper into Falling Dragon Valley.
【Deducting one simulation count, remaining simulation counts zero, starting simulation】
【First month, you left the temple and went to Falling Dragon Valley outside the city.
Your Level Seventeen strength was considered very strong among the magical beasts in the forest near Falling Dragon Valley.
Within one month, you rampaged through Falling Dragon Valley and claimed a territory.】
【Second month, you already had dozens of different magical beasts under your command, the lowest of which were Level Twelve.
You began to slowly advance deeper into the forest with your subordinates.】
【Although the advance was slow, your gains were substantial, and your level also reached Level Eighteen.】
【Third month, you encountered a pack of Swift Wind Wolves, but there was no Swift Wind Wolf King among them.
You and your subordinates easily achieved victory, and your territory became elongated.】
【Fourth month, you finally arrived at the cliff edge of Falling Dragon Valley, and a several-thousand-meter-long, hundred-meter-wide canyon appeared before your eyes.
You saw many flying magical beasts inhabiting it, as well as several magical beast auras no weaker than yours.
You dispatched your fastest black panther for intelligence gathering.】
【Fifth month, the black panther returned wounded, telling you that the deeper you went into Falling Dragon Valley, the more you could feel an invisible pressure.
The black panther did not go deep into the valley floor, but it told you that the flying magical beasts inhabiting the upper part of Falling Dragon Valley all belonged to a Four-legged Flying Eagle.
The entire upper half of Falling Dragon Valley was their territory, and the Four-legged Flying Eagle's level was rumored to have reached Level Thirty.】
【You were somewhat surprised to hear this news, not expecting that a Level Thirty magical beast truly existed.
At the same time, you were also happy, as it indicated that you also had a chance to reach Level Thirty.】
【You temporarily abandoned the idea of entering Falling Dragon Valley and began to organize your subordinates for hunting, planning to gradually increase your strength.】
【First year, you already had fifty elite subordinates under your command, the lowest at Level Fifteen, the highest at Level Eighteen, and you successfully reached the Level Twenty limit.】
【You tried every method you could think of to break through this limit but didn't know how.
Eventually, you consulted the Tiger-striped Giant Elephant you had once fought, and only then did you learn the method.】
【The Level Eighteen Tiger-striped Giant Elephant was actually gentle by nature; if you hadn't actively attacked in the previous simulation, a battle might not have broken out.
At the same time, the Tiger-striped Giant Elephant possessed a long racial heritage and had only recently joined your command.
He told you there were two methods: first, starting from Level Twenty, each breakthrough required using a King's Heart of the same stage, such as the Swift Wind Wolf King.
As an existence that only appears in one out of a thousand Swift Wind Wolves, he possesses a unique Swift Wind Wolf King's Heart.
However, the appearance of each King's Heart will produce an incredibly powerful attraction for the corresponding race, as no matter how mediocre you are, as long as you consume your own race's King's Heart, you can be promoted to a King, with immense future potential.
The second method is to condense the King's Heart prototype yourself.
This is a difficult process that requires compressing magic power and absorbing vast amounts of magic power, which could take several years.】
【After learning this news, you immediately set your sights on the Swift Wind Wolf King that had killed you in the previous simulation.
His strength should now be inferior to yours, and you now have many subordinates who can hold back the ordinary Swift Wind Wolves.】
【First year, third month, you finally found that pack of Swift Wind Wolves.
The Swift Wind Wolf King's aura was slightly weaker than yours, but he immediately launched an attack when you encroached on his territory.
Your subordinates and the Swift Wind Wolves fought in a chaotic mass.
The Tiger-striped Giant Elephant's area attacks were more than what these Level Ten or so Swift Wind Wolves could withstand.
You easily engaged the Swift Wind Wolf King in a true one-on-one man-to-man battle.】
【Although the Swift Wind Wolf King's speed was extraordinary, your speed was not slow either.
Relying on your ranged attack methods, after a period of attrition, the Swift Wind Wolf King gradually fell behind.
The Tiger-striped Giant Elephant's every step was like an earthquake, and with a swing of his thick trunk, he sent the Swift Wind Wolf King flying.
You immediately exerted your full strength and finally achieved victory after four hours of battle.】
【You watched the Wolf King die, then used your sharp claws to tear open his belly, pulling out a magic crystal and a heart that thumped like a red crystal.
You immediately swallowed both.】
【Infinite magic power, like a great river, surged through your body.
You lay prostrate on the ground, closing your eyes and feeling the flow of magic power.
In the depths of your being, you felt your inner magic power blocked by a doorway, but soon, that doorway was breached by the surging magic power and gathered and condensed at your heart.
Immediately, the magic power became like gentle flowing water, spreading throughout your limbs and bones with each beat of your heart.
You successfully reached Level Twenty-One, and at the same time, you gained the Wind Force skill from the Swift Wind Wolf King's Heart, and your speed underwent a tremendous change.】
"Not easy, finally Level 21, I just wonder how fast this tremendous change in speed is," Su Xiao said, a little excited.
He wanted to try his new power now!
【At the same time, you feel that something special seems to be gestating within your body.
That thing is constantly and slowly absorbing magic power to enhance your strength.
Although it is very weak, time can make up for it.
You guess that it is your own King's Heart.】
