Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Lying down, Zi Liyuan watched as the clouds surged with the wind, currently at ease as others fed him.

However, this fellow had been paying close attention to the map in his mind, clearly observing every move made by Liu Yiqing and the others without missing a beat.

It must be said, aside from Liu Yiqing, the strength of the other four was also formidable.

Talent could only provide a safety net, ensuring the basic foundation of a person was sizable, but personal combat power was a multi-faceted construction upon that base.

Don't be fooled by the three who only possessed third-tier Peak strength, in reality, if they were to battle with a fourth-tier Peak Lord Boss Wind Dragon beast, they might lose, but they could certainly escape unscathed.

Zi Liyuan had also realized, these three weren't incapable of breaking through to the fourth tier, they were just unwilling to be content with only rare-tier fourth-tier advancement quests.

First to fourth-tier advancements were about enhancing one's foundation, those with conditions certainly wanted to develop their foundational essence to the fullest.

Zi Liyuan was one of the exceptional ones among them, and so were Ying Xueji and her four comrades alike.

Inside the Great Xia Empire, those who achieved this were several dozen to hundreds each year, vying for the depth of support from behind them.

This was also why commoner professionals had such a gap compared to those esteemed talents.

And this gap, upon entering the Sea of Realms, would become increasingly clear, especially for breaking through to the fifth tier.

Lords could forcibly boost their own strength through the help of Cultivation Techniques and the upgrading of the Lord's Mansion.

But Wanderers and Mercenaries were different, without the assistance of a domain, they couldn't directly encounter the Rule Power most suited to themselves through the domain's characteristics, they could only comprehend the Rule Power bit by bit on their own.

Moreover, to touch upon Rule Power, one's three foundational attributes needed to have at least one attribute point break through to 10,000+.

Difficult?

For Zi Liyuan, all three of his attributes had surged beyond 60,000+, and his Spirit had even reached the level of 70,000+.

Of course, this fellow's abnormal attributes weren't only due to his incredibly strong basic attributes, but also from various class amplifications, support of over a hundred Cultivation Techniques, furthermore, amplification from Epic gear sets, and finally, the transformation and promotion on the level of life itself.

But what about normal professionals?

To have one basic attribute break through to 10,000+ was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

For the comprehension of Cultivation Techniques, even those up to the fourth tier required a suitable technique to be understood!

Within the entire Great Xia Empire, only the Nine Great Divine States Academy had collected several hundred techniques to teach their students.

And beyond the Nine Great Divine States Academy, the universities had few Cultivation Techniques, and they might not necessarily suit those commoner professionals.

As for each tier's advancement quests, it was already admirable if commoner professionals could pass elite-tier quests, passing rare-tier advancement quests was a source of immense pride and honor.

And Heroic Level advancement quests were only attempted by those who had awakened high-quality Talent and professions that fit them, who could barely challenge one or two, and they might not truly pass.

Of course, most of the students recruited by the Nine Great Divine States Academy each year, all the way from the first to the fourth tier, had passed Heroic Level advancement quests.

Regarding the fourth-tier Lord-grade advancement quests, there were many challengers, but those who truly passed each year were countable on one's fingers.

Therefore, for those who entered the Sea of Realms, becoming Wanderers and Mercenaries, without high-level, high-quality Cultivation Techniques, they could only rely on various equipment and treasures to forcibly push one basic attribute above 10,000+, then forcefully comprehend Rule Power.

This was why there were very few loners in the Sea of Realms who were not Lords, rising on their own to become a major power.

At least, within the territory of the Blue Star Human Race, there wasn't a single one.

Currently, the strongest Wanderers and Mercenaries without any affiliation were stuck at fifth-tier Peak, with not one able to break through on their own to the sixth tier.

Orel, Dia, and Bol had aspirations, desiring to solidify their foundational essence, and thus preferred to be stuck at third-tier Peak.

It's just a pity that their status was merely as experimental subjects; lacking resources, lacking connections, relying solely on their own strength to pass a Heroic Level fourth-tier advancement trial was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

This was also one of the reasons why they would follow Liu Yiqing.

It was also why they were willing to become subordinates of Zi Liyuan; they had no choice, as he was the biggest backer they could find.

Not to mention the remnants of the Coalition of Nations, they held nothing but deep hatred for those scoundrels, wishing to tear all remnants of the Coalition of Nations to shreds, and that might not even suffice to eradicate the grudge in their hearts.

As for the last one, Sam, this fourth tier Thunder Mage, had very impressive strength, especially in his control over the lightning element, almost as if he was commanding his own fingers.

Zi Liyuan saw very clearly that Sam could probably match the double-winged Wind Dragon beast evenly.

Experimental subjects in the lab were also graded, and clearly, this individual had received much more resources compared to Bol and the others.

Orel and Dia, with Talent suited for being tanks, typically needed to level up with a team.

But as experimental subjects, could the remnants of the Coalition of Nations dare to let them form a group?

Bol received fewer resources, simply because his Talent was only Lord-grade, considered bottom-tier among experimental subjects.

However, since he was an Earth Element summoner, there was still considerable value in training him, otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed him to rise to third-tier Peak.

Watching Bol lead the three, clearing out all the Insects on the outskirts of the battlefield, including a rare-tier BOSS Insect, Zi Liyuan also came back to his senses.
