Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1008 - 616: Dual Crown_2

```

"Third: Heaven’s Blessing (Heavenly protection grants your territory ten years of safety, ignoring all warring effects and without affecting your attacks on other territories)"

It was still a choice of one from three, and Xu Yang studied the options for a moment before finally choosing the second, Heavenly Favored.

This was also easy to understand. Heavenly Gift was an immediate increase in combat strength: one hundred thousand Civilization Units and ten thousand Special Troops could effectively alleviate urgent needs.

But Xu Yang currently had no such urgency; if he had, this number of troops wouldn’t be sufficient to address it; therefore, this option was out of consideration.

The same logic applied to Heaven’s Blessing. Xu Yang didn’t need any safe time. On the contrary, he hoped someone would come knocking at his door, willingly attacking his territory—why would he cut off his own source of wealth?

As for Heavenly Favored, the effect of doubling the recruitment and production of all buildings might not seem much, but it applied to all buildings, so later constructed Second-Order Buildings could also enjoy this effect. It was the most forward-thinking choice and the richest reward; it only required time to reap its benefits.

Time was exactly what Xu Yang had in abundance, and the Yellow Turban Civilization’s characteristics also required massive troop support to function effectively, making Heavenly Favored undoubtedly the best choice.

...

"First option: Unrestrained (Randomly strengthen three existing skills, including Combat Skills and Magic Skills, significantly enhancing their effects)"

"Second option: Awakening (Enhance your Talent Skills, greatly increasing their effects)"

"Third option: Penetration (Enhance your Basic Skills and weapon usage, allowing Basic Skills to break through up to 20 levels above their limit, and after reaching the master level with weapon skills, gain a Special Skill for every level advanced)"

The time had come for skill enhancement as expected.

If it were a Lord with Divine-level Talents, the choice would obviously be the second option, Awakening.

Xu Yang currently had three skills with the Talent suffix: Cloth Emperor, Teacher, and King’s Way.

Cloth Emperor hadn’t been used for a long time, King’s Way was currently the strongest talent, and Teacher, when considering the long term, held potential even greater than King’s Way.

A tough choice!

So Xu Yang simply didn’t choose and instead gambled on luck.

"You have selected the first reward—Unrestrained!"

"Your Cloth Emperor, Teacher, and Skillful Chef skills have been enhanced."

"Your Cloth Emperor skill upgrades to—Cloth Emperor!"

"Your Teacher skill upgrades to—Role Model!"

"Your Skillful Chef skill upgrades to—Supreme Chef!"

Cloth Emperor: by adorning simple clothes, I raise a three-foot sword to take the world (for each piece of ’Cloth Emperor’ attribute equipment worn, Charm Attribute +10, recruitment buildings in your territory increase recruitment by +10%, production buildings efficiency +10%).

Role Model: You must lead by example to be a Role Model (You can instruct heroes and soldiers, granting additional Experience; after instructing for thirty days, the Role Model effect triggers, giving a huge amount of Experience and an attribute increase of 0.1%~1% from yourself to the instructed, and a very high chance that the instructed will learn one of your skills; in addition, the instructed has a very high chance of having an Awakening, enhancing their skill effect or Hero Rank).

Supreme Chef: culinary skills have reached Divine Transformation (you can create various recipes on your own, greatly improving the success rate of making special Food, and there is a high probability of enhancing the quality of Food).

...

Looking at the result of the skill enhancement, Xu Yang could not help but marvel at his luck. Out of the many skills randomly selected, he had hit two talents, including the one with the most potential and highest value, Teacher.

Three skills, without a need for further discussion—Cloth Emperor removed the redundant combat attribute, switching to a charm enhancement and ability to improve the recruitment and production of buildings. In times without war, Xu Yang could completely take off his Battle Armor, don a set of clothing, and strengthen the development and construction of his territory.

Role Model was a further strengthening of the Teacher skill, transforming from a chance-based upgrade to a definite great enhancement after thirty days of instruction. Although the increase was small, ranging from 0.1% to 1%, it was guaranteed to trigger.

With Xu Yang’s three Basic Attributes already at their limits due to various achievements, in line with the effects of being a Role Model, he only needed to instruct his heroes for a month to bring them an attribute increase of 0.1 to 1.

Although this was still not much, all change is a process of accumulation, not to mention that he was still in the beginning stages. When his Rank rises in the future, reaching Seventh, Eighth, or even Ninth and Tenth Orders, then one instance of being a Role Model could give his heroes an increase of ten, a hundred, or even a thousand points.

Definitely a Divine Skill for training subordinates and building forces!

As for Supreme Chef, it’s like Refinement and Alchemy, a Divine Skill for saving and increasing income, capable of dominating the market to seize funds and also improving the tavern’s building attractiveness to heroes, which was an added bonus.

...

"First option: Great Virtuous Master (receive the item Taiping Heavenly Book)"

"Second option: Heavenly General (receive the equipment Heavenly Sword)"

"Third option: Yellow Heaven Taoist (receive the equipment Yellow Heaven Banner)"

The Dual Crown King’s reward reached the last option.

```

Xu Yang had already investigated and knew that the rewards of the Dual Crown King were fixed: the first item affected attributes, the second affected territory, the third affected Talent Skills, and the fourth and final one strengthened civilization, allowing for the selection of three Mythical Items based on one’s own civilization.

Now he could see the attributes of the three items.

Taiping Heavenly Book

Item Order: Second Order (Mythical)

Item Effect: Use requires 100 Physical Strength, 100 Intelligence, 100 Charm, upon use unlocks a special Mana Value attribute and comprehension of the "Great Virtuous Master" Skill and Thunder Series Skills.

Yellow Heaven Banner (Divine Artifact)

Equipment Introduction: In the year of Jiazi, great fortune to the world!

...

One item, two pieces of equipment, all of Mythical Quality, made for a difficult decision.

After looking them over, Xu Yang ultimately chose the first item, the Great Virtuous Master’s Taiping Heavenly Book.

The reason was simple: potential and growth.

Equipment can become obsolete, Low-level Divine Equipment is still low-level, and cannot be used in higher tiers.

Skills are different; they can grow with the user, and their potential and value are seemingly higher than that of equipment.

Although he had already acquired a book of White Lotus Taoism, this didn’t prevent Xu Yang from obtaining the Taiping Heavenly Book, at most he would pass on the White Lotus Taoism to one of his heroes.

"You have used the item — Taiping Heavenly Book!"

"You have unlocked a special attribute — Mana Value!"

"Your Physical Strength +10, Intelligence +10, Charm +10, Mana Value +1000, Mana Skills +10, Casting Skills +10, Tactical Skills +10, Commander Skill +10."

"You have obtained the Civilization Skill — Great Virtuous Master!"

"You have learned the Magic Skills — Taiping Thunder Skill!"

Great Virtuous Master: I am the Master of Taiping, the Great Virtuous Master (Can train Yellow Turban Warriors and Yellow Turban Mages into Personal Guard Species, Taiping Yellow Heaven Warriors and Taiping Yellow Heaven Mages, at the Taiping Temple. On the battlefield, all Yellow Turban troops’ morale is significantly raised and gain the "Refuse to retreat" characteristic, each Taiping Yellow Heaven Guard in the Commander range provides 1% Mana enhancement for oneself)

Taiping Thunder Skill: The thunder of heaven and earth heeds my command (Can cast Thunderfall Skill, Heavenly Thunder, Wind and Rain Summoning, Thunderstorm and other Thunder Series Skills, and create corresponding Talismans)

...

With the item used and skills attained, the Dual Crown King’s reward was now complete.

Next, Xu Yang had no remaining aims, but to wait until the number of Yellow Turban troops within his territory was sufficient to advance to Second Order and step into a vaster world.

However, his thoughts were not fixed on this, but rather on...

"Crack!"

Thunder roared, lightning flashed, Xu Yang activated the familiar yet foreign Mana, watching the thunder and lightning rise in his hand, the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a slight smile.

At last... he had reached this step!
