Guild Hall.
Inside the training ground.
Kane looked at his current attribute panel.

The reality and illusion of creation rest entirely in the user’s thoughts]
[Introduction: Creator Kane, the Origin Skill forged for personal transformation.]
After glancing at his attribute panel, Kane waved his hand to close it.
With officially stepping into the Tricolor level, Kane almost completely mastered the Book of Adventure.
The expansion panel for Origin Skills has entirely disappeared, fully integrated at the moment of promotion to Tricolor from gold.
Once stepping into Tricolor, there is no longer an energy progress bar as before.
At this level, it’s entirely reliant on personal comprehension of the rules for advancement.
Perhaps the same Tricolor level, different comprehensions of the rules’ strength can present a drastic gap, worlds apart.
And upon stepping into the Tricolor level, Kane finally understood the words of Bagri and others.
There’s no real difference between Tricolor and Pentacolor.
These two stages are like volumes of a book, with no gap between them.
It’s merely a matter of accumulating time and rules to naturally cross over.
And it is this interval, that traps almost everyone in the world.
Now, it’s been a year and a half since Kane and others began their seclusion.
About a year ago, Kane advanced to the Tricolor level.
From the transition of gold to Tricolor, it’s no longer like before, elevating through the Dungeon exploration.
Thus, the promotion speed among teammates varies greatly.
Depending on each person’s ideas, the Rule Chains differ, with different speeds and times spent on comprehending rules, leading to differences.
For example, Rilulu advanced to Tricolor instantly upon acquiring the core thing, unstoppable.
While Kane and team had their paths, methodically advancing.
Even at the doorstep, it took Kane nearly a year to fully cross over.
And Kreya, followed a month after Kane’s advancement.
Last month, Longbei also advanced to Tricolor.
The dramatic change in power and sensory difference of advancing to Tricolor has Longbei still consolidating and familiarizing with the new body.
As for Meizike, it should be within these few days.
Standing on a large stone platform on the sea, Kane looked at the sky, contemplating the recent events.
At this stage, he finally understood why Gifted Skills were introduced as such.
Suddenly sensing something, Kane lowered his head.
Kreya’s body began constructing and forming in front of him, an entry form into the Guild Training Ground.
"Why so early today?" Kreya asked, looking at the waiting Kane.
Hearing Kreya’s words, Kane shrugged helplessly and said, "Awakened by an invitation from the Secret Council, likely to hold a meeting soon. Since I’m awake, might as well train in the training ground."
Even though Kane had crossed to the Tricolor stage for half a year.
But the new experiences in this stage made him constantly feel the improvement of his strength.
Of course, this wasn’t genuine progress.
Rather, Kane was steadily establishing his position at this stage.
Looking at Kreya before him, Kane flipped through her attribute panel.
[Kreya]
[Blood Lion Knight. Weapon Master. Death God. Mistwalker]
[Level: Tricolor]
[Martial Skills: Hundred Martial Arts, Blood Silk Martial Arts, Lion Battle Dance...]
[Magic Skills: Frenzy Battle Roar, Ghost Transformation, Death Qi, Flame of Burning Spirit, Power Aura...]
[Skills: Culinary Skill, Soul Structure...]
[Bloodline: Death’s Favor]
[Skill Grid: None]
[Origin Skill: Death God’s Treasure Vault] (Can store Armor and Weapons within. Spend Magic Power for armor and weapon exchange, with no time and frequency limits, freely.
Weapons placed in the vault will be imbued with the Divine Power of the Death God.
Equipment in the vault will automatically repair and maintain, and over time, weapons and equipment in the vault will be enhanced and improved.
Weapons in the vault can undergo energy bursts, allowing them to transcend to another stage. Once energy burst is used, weapons will require time for repair.
Weapons in the vault can undergo energy stacking, temporary skill inheritance. A weapon can gain another weapon’s attribute stacking, and temporarily use other weapon’s skills.
The weapons and equipment in the vault inherit the spirits of deceased heroes from the historical legacy, transforming into an incredible existence.
No weapon will refuse the owner of the vault.
The bound weapon equipment will be automatically recovered.
Kreya’s origin skills seem to have undergone a great deal of change compared to the gold level.
These new variations have once again made Kreya’s origin skills her most formidable weapon.
"Kane, are you ready? I’m going in!"
Kreya has now entered her battle-ready form.
She no longer needs to transform like before, becoming a ghostly presence when entering a combat state.
Now, she maintains her usual physical body, but the black and white Spirit-Burning Fire coils around her.
It floats and dances in the wind like graceful ribbons, twined around her armor-clad body and weapons.
Her four iron hooves are shrouded in black and white flames, with her tail fully transformed into a fiery trail—a long flame tail.
This tail of fire is more slender and long than her body.
In Kreya’s hand, a blade wrapped in mist-like clouds has already appeared.
Kane strikes a pose.
"Bring it on!"
Precise mechanical structures, magic-linked bearings, and engines powered by magic power.
Such crafted magic machinery instantly assembles around his body.
A layer of matte-finished metal covers the exterior.
In just a moment, Kane is encased in a small fully wrapped mecha.
The mecha stands about 4 meters tall, with precisely structured mechanical arms and a single-eyed head.
A relatively thin waist and powerful pelvis and thick thighs.
Internal components feature complex and intricate magical structures and pathways.
Kreya, at this point, lightly taps her hooves on the ground, causing a light hum from the light armor on her hooves.
Then Kreya vanishes from her spot, appearing in front of Kane, slashing down fiercely with the blade in her hand.
It strikes against the layered steel shield that suddenly appeared on Kane’s arm.
The right mechanical arm slashes forward, with a chain saw blade shooting out from the wrist, vibrating wildly.
The chainsaw blade clashes with Kreya’s blade, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound, sparks flying.
The black and white flames travel along the blade to Kane’s mecha arm.
The mecha’s legs immediately emit mechanical operation sounds, energy bursts out, and the entire mecha quickly retreats.
Subsequently, a multitude of energy cannon muzzles appear around, firing wave after wave of energy beams towards Kreya.
As the mecha retreats, its entire arm detaches, and the falling mechanical arm gradually disintegrates into a pile of black ash. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Then, a new mechanical arm emerges from the mecha’s shoulder.
The entire mecha crouches in place, immense machinery beginning to coalesce around its body.
A gigantic cannon barrel materializes, with ring upon ring of energy rings on it.
While Kane retreats, the floating cannon muzzles he conjured fire energy beams at Kreya, but to no avail.
The black and white flames entwining Kreya transform into a shield enveloping her.
All energy beams that hit the shield are completely nullified, and then the black and white flames instantaneously spread outward.
The flames sweep across the hovering cannons in the sky like a gentle breeze.
Although these floating cannons appear unharmed, they all fall down, forcing Kane to withdraw them all.
"Watch out!"
Kane shouts, as the massive, thick energy cannon barrel gathers an intense glow.
An energy beam over two meters thick shoots out from the muzzle, flashing with dazzling red light.
Kreya brings the twin blades in her hands together, inserting them into the air, and when she draws them out again, they have merged into a gigantic sword blade nearly two meters long.
It emits a dark yet otherworldly green glow.
Facing the oncoming beam, Kreya lifts the sword high with both hands and strikes down fiercely.
Silently, without any special effects, just a simple slash.
Like the passing of a breeze.
The massive energy beam shatters in the middle, dissipating into red light particles before it hits the target, scattering into the air.
Witnessing this scene, Kane can only reluctantly withdraw all nearby mechanical constructs.
His true form lands on the stone slabs.
"Indeed, magic technology can no longer keep up with my pace."
Kane remarks helplessly.
His powers have advanced so rapidly that the study of magic technology can’t keep up with his progress.
And it’s not just him researching.
The Intelligent Mechanism occasionally provides their research results to Kane.
At this stage, to have any slight impact on Kreya is entirely due to Kane’s rules at work.
The rules are enhancing this magic technology.
Magic technology can’t achieve rule-level attacks and needs Kane’s rules to strengthen them.
This indicates that at this moment, it has completely lost its significance for Kane.
It’s already an act of putting the cart before the horse.
However, it’s not entirely useless, just that it performs woefully inadequate against Kreya.
A crystal pillar appears in Kane’s hand, transforming at his will into a long spear.
But Kane doesn’t hold it; he lets it float beside him.
He swings his arm.
Crystal-like objects appear in the air, which upon closer inspection are sharp long spears.
They fly towards Kreya with the swing of his arm.
Kreya easily deflects the incoming spears.
But from above, massive iron fists begin plummeting down, trails of energy propelling them with powerful force.
Spikes shoot up from the ground beneath her feet as well.
Sword blades, long spears, daggers...
And so on, countless weapons coalesce around as Kane wills them, attacking Kreya.
Pillars of stone rise one after another from the ground, dramatically altering the terrain with significant elevation differences.
The stone pillars continue to rotate and circulate.
The entire arena has already fallen into Kane’s grasp.
