Chapter 259 -256: Breaking Through in Battle, Isn’t This Protagonist Treatment?
Tang Yu stepped down from the altar, his feet sinking into the soft sandy soil.
As he looked around, the surroundings were still marked by the pits left after the earlier explosion. The gradually spreading dark red color and the black cracks had all disappeared, only vaguely discernable near the altar where the fragmented rocks in the pits were somewhat fewer.
The center of the pit seemed somewhat smoother, with occasional tiny stones rattling down from the edges.
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, who would believe that just now, there was an abyssal rift about to open here?”
Tang Yu shook his head and sighed.
Even he himself had not thought that the abyssal rift could be opened artificially… well, that’s not quite right to say, after all, those skeletons were not human.
It just felt like the world was becoming more and more enigmatic.
At this moment, Eileen, in her flowing dress, came from afar.
“Sorry, I let him escape.”
She hung her head, unable to hide her disappointment.
Tang Yu was startled, looking at the exhausted Eileen and patted her head, laughing despite himself, “This is nothing big. That skeleton was three tiers higher than you, being able to stop it was already very impressive.”
“Our main goal was only to prevent the formation of the spatial channel. I just didn’t expect that skeleton to be so decisive, realizing it was futile and immediately escaping.”
Eileen frowned, “But… that skeleton is powerful and knows how to hide among humans. Now that it has escaped, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.”
“Right.” Eileen pulled out a pitch-black phalanx with blue frost clinging to the tip, looking at the sisters Xing Ling and Xing Yue, “With this, can we divine the location of that skeleton?”
Xing Yue took the phalanx, Xing Ling produced a fist-sized crystal ball, and without touching it, the crystal ball floated between her hands.
She closed her eyes, and the inside of the crystal ball reflected the appearance of the black phalanx.
After a moment, Xing Ling opened her eyes and said, “That skeleton… um, I’ve divined its approximate location…”
She tiptoed, pivoted about sixty degrees to her right on the tip of her toe, and pointed in the distance, “It’s roughly in that direction, but it’s very far, feels like twenty kilometers away from the Sanctuary. I can’t divine the exact location.”

Tang Yu was stunned.
From that skeleton fleeing as things turned south to now, it hadn’t even been a minute, yet it had gone that far?
‘It must be some kind of teleportation device meant for preservation. But, that guy is too cowardly, isn’t it? Shouldn’t it manifest the mettle of an Awakening Tier Perfection? According to the normal script, shouldn’t it fiercely fight back when its companion is killed?’
He couldn’t help but laugh, “Forget it, since it’s so far away, even if we go there, it would be useless. Let’s leave this headache to the authorities of Luoxia. We just need to be more vigilant in the future. Right, keep this phalanx safe, it’s still necessary to divine occasionally.”
Xing Ling nodded, took out a crystal container meant for storing items, and placed the phalanx inside.
On the other side of the altar, a deep shout came from Shay, “Hall Master, look what I found, something good.”
Tang Yu turned towards the sound. At that moment, Shay, his body charred and his hair standing up like a smart, was holding a piece of silvery white object and jogged over.
It looked like a chimpanzee running wild from the zoo.
Tang Yu held his breath while Xing Yue couldn’t help but giggle next to him; even Eileen and Xing Ling had tugged mouths, as if they wanted to laugh but felt embarrassed about it.
Shay yelled “f*ck” loudly, pulling out a comb from the inner pocket of his gray-black combat uniform and furiously combing his scalp. No matter how he combed, his hair stood up like steel needles and would not settle.
Tang Yu couldn’t help but touch his own hair… Luckily, no issues there.
The ones who had ascended the altar with him were just he, Shay, and Kong; the others, like Xiaoli, Xing Yue, Xing Ling, as well as Winnie who had come to provide support, were spellcasters, and hadn’t moved to the front.
He was protected by Protector One and Two, so he was mostly unharmed.
Kong managed to look slightly better, with only his cloak burned halfway, but Shay looked the most miserable. Had it not been for that familiar voice, Tang Yu might not have even recognized him.
…Was this the same Shay who always wore a suit and slicked-back hair, always checking himself in the mirror before stepping out?
Beside him, Winnie continuously cast spells, healing Shay, well, the injuries weren’t serious or important. Under Shay’s strong insistence, Winnie’s healing light focused mainly on his head, aiming to soften the stiff hair and fade the burnt fur layer.
Only then did Tang Yu notice what Shay was holding in his hand—a wholly silver-white, human arm-like forearm bone, and his eyes widened in surprise, “This is…”
“That’s the one.” Shay continued combing his hair as he passed the silver-white severed limb over. “It’s the silver-white bone hand that extended from the rift. That aura, hey, nearly scared me to death.”
“I remember the silver-white bone hand being very large…”
The rift back then was about twenty to thirty meters long and seven to eight meters wide. The grim silver-white bone hand occupied about half of that. He had thought that it was due to the giant body of the silver-white skeleton preventing it from crawling out immediately from the rift, but now it seemed there were some limitations.
Tang Yu took the silver-white bone arm, feeling its weight suddenly pull him down. With his power—which was no longer at the Fifth Tier Peak, but now at the Sixth Tier—he nearly couldn’t lift it.
He took out a high-end rune longsword and hacked at the bone hand without leaving a single mark.
Meanwhile, he pondered the changes in his body.
The idea of breaking through during a battle, a prospect so mystical, occurring to him was utterly unexpected.
He vaguely remembered the system’s notification sound just now?
‘This system is really becoming less noticeable.’
With a thought, he controlled the opening of the system screen to browse the log.
Swipe!
His gaze dropped to the bottom of the log.
[Ding! Territory compatibility has increased to 20%, meeting the requirements for territory upgrade.]
No wonder he had felt earlier that his control over temporary structures had become more intuitive, even to the point where he felt he could fine-tune the trajectory of arrows and shells that had already been fired, and the construction time of structures had increased by at least a third compared to before.
He wondered what level of control he would have over the territory and these system structures when the territory compatibility increased to one hundred percent.
‘There should be other changes. I’ll experiment later when I’m free. Moreover, now that I’ve advanced to the Sixth Tier of Awakening, my strength should see significant increases for a while. The period from Sixth to Ninth Tier is the Body-shaping Realm, where physical strength can greatly increase, even resisting bullets is a small matter, and this phase is also the most cost-effective stage to use the Body Refining Liquid.’
