Chapter 1791 - 458: Blew 2.5 Million

Chapter 1791: Chapter 458: Blew 2.5 Million

It seems like there’s a choice, but this is actually a single-choice question.

2.5 million sacrificial power is certainly a huge sum, but it’s not unattainable.

More importantly, this path combines the speed of cheating with the growth process, perfectly fitting his needs.

"It’s decided, Brother Guide, help me settle the second plan!" Tu Hu made the decision without hesitation, his eyes filled with fiery passion once again.

[Sacrificial power?]

"I’ll start raising funds immediately."

Tu Hu quickly called out in the team chat, organized his words, and took a deep breath:

"Brothers and sisters, urgent situation, I’ve encountered a tremendous opportunity and need funding support."

"Long story short, I’ve met a hidden NPC you all know about, and I’ve learned he was a divine-level big shot. I can learn rule-level skills from him... Tuition is 2.5 million sacrificial power. How much can be gathered immediately? Consider it a loan; I’ll repay with hard work in the future."

After the message was sent, there was a brief silence in the channel.

Then, teammates erupted like a volcano.

Floating with the Wind (assassin): How much? 2.5 million? Brother Hard, were you tricked by Ah Le into a casino trap? Even if you sold me, we might not gather enough sacrificial power."

Little Milk Bottle (support): Are you serious? Is the cost similar to the creation fees for the Dark Race Legion or Touch of Pain special life soul? Why is your price so high, is it a relatively complete rule?

Noble Mage (Mage): Damn, rule-level skill? Brother Hard, you really should die, this luck is unbelievable. But 2.5 million is a bit challenging... Let me decompose my Rune Staff, probably can return over 70,000 sacrificial power... I’m so reluctant, my heart is bleeding.

Rock (warrior): Bangbang, if it’s a special life soul, it’s indeed worth the gamble. I have materials from the last dungeon in my warehouse, and dungeon coins can be listed in the trading house, handling them all can probably gather about 150,000, I was originally thinking of saving up to open the star vein slot.

Seeing teammates start to seriously calculate their assets, despite their complaints, Tu Hu felt a warm sensation in his heart and said:

"Brothers, the situation is absolutely real, Brother Guide certified, as long as I obtain this attack-defense integrated rule, I’ll succeed, and lead us to sweep through the Ancient God Arena, carrying you to sweep the next season’s Peak of the Stars.

Floating with the Wind (assassin): You’re boasting before gathering the sacrificial power, alright, I’ll find a way to help you, probably around 400,000 sacrificial power here, I need to carefully count.

Little Milk Bottle (support): I’ll go back to the village later and decompose the Rune Weapon, returning 95% sacrificial power, probably around 180,000. Combined with some hoarded Void Origin Stones, 500,000 won’t be a problem.

Noble Mage (Mage): "Oh wow, my Brother Hard, if after learning this you don’t break through the sky, you should switch to Giant Beast style and be our team mount."

The teammates complained verbally, but their actions were quicker than each other.

They quickly inventoried their space bags and listed treasured equipment and materials in bulk on the trading house.

Some teammates also contacted employees of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, directly selling dungeon-produced goods to them at a fixed price.

Tu Hu looked at the continuously updating messages in the channel and clenched his fists.

Teammates have mouths like knives but hearts like tofu, they’re planning to fully support him.

They’re even ready to decompose Rune Weapons.

This investment, he absolutely cannot let down!

Soon, the teammates’ transfer notifications echoed in Tu Hu’s ears one after another.

He wasn’t idle either, starting to clear out his space bag.

Many materials he planned to hoard for price increases, including enhancement potions not immediately useful, were all listed in the trading house at slightly below market price, hoping for quick sales.

[Challenger Tips: Item Dragon Blood Ore sold, gained sacrificial power: 4,500 points.]

[Challenger Tips: Item Blue Lamp Silver Coin x12 sold, gained sacrificial power: 6,000 points.]

[Challenger Tips: Teammate "Floating with the Wind" sent you sacrificial power via email: 85,354 points (Note: Brother Hard, another one, I’ve given up all my savings, do us proud.)]

The sacrificial power amount rapidly surged.

800,000... 1,500,000... 2,000,000... Tu Hu’s heart raced with the numbers.

Finally

When the mage gathered another 30,000 sacrificial power, along with what Tu Hu cleared from his last batch of miscellaneous items.

The balance bar in the space bag interface reached the 2.5 million mark.

"We’ve got enough! Brother Guide, we have enough sacrificial power!" Tu Hu practically shouted, his excitement evident.

[Received.]

Brother Guide’s voice remained calm.

The Water Ball floating beside him burst with bright light, and a scarlet beam containing supreme power engulfed Tu Hu’s Guardian Heavy Sword and himself.

Tu Hu felt the heavy sword in his hand begin to tremble slightly, the vast Guardian Sword Stance inside seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, transforming into a stream of countless pale golden runes, which ultimately compressed and reshaped under his tense watch.

This process was quicker than anticipated.

Soon, the Guardian Sword condensed into a golden bead emitting a gentle aura, with a simple sword symbol suspended inside.

Next moment, Challenger Tips rang out:

[Challenger Tips: Guardian Sword Stance (Sealed Life Soul, Unnamed, Incomplete) has been purified and generated, embed into Star Vein Slot?]

"Yes, embed immediately!" Tu Hu responded without hesitation.

Instantly, the golden bead of the sword symbol turned into a stream of light, passing through his body and appearing on the star vein slot along his spine.

But it didn’t complete the embedding, instead, it floated above the star river.

Tu Hu paused and then realized the issue.

He called out the star vein interface without delay, his gaze swept over the seven embedded life souls, locking onto the seventh "Tearing" life soul.

This life soul had accompanied him for a long time.

Being a frontline damage taker, it was one of his few means of dealing sustained damage.

"Sorry, old buddy."

With a thought, he chose to decompose.

[Challenger Tips: Life Soul "Tearing" decomposed... .]

Immediately, the hovering Guardian Sword Stance accurately embeds into the seventh star vein slot.

Buzz——!

An ineffable enlightenment surged into Tu Hu’s mind like a warm tide, he could feel himself establishing an incredibly close connection with the Sword Stance life soul.

As if pushing open the door to a new world, his understanding of sword stance rapidly improved during this process.

After a long time, Tu Hu opened his eyes and instinctively raised his hand.

With a thought, amid a buzzing sound, a giant sword of condensed pale golden light instantly formed in his hand.

He looked down.

The sword’s shine circulated, emanating a deep meaning, though it wasn’t as solid and vast as Cang Xuan’s, it had already formed a prototype.

"Haha... hahahaha, I did it!"

Tu Hu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

After a while, he calmed down.

Looking at the newly formed pale golden life soul in the star vein slot, he stroked his chin in thought:

"Gotta give you a name, Guardian Sword Stance is too straightforward, not dominant enough, and it doesn’t reflect how hard it was to come by."

At this moment, he recalled the names senior players gave to special life souls.

Dark Race Legion, Source of Evil, Touch of Pain, Wan Ji... these names could be borrowed, but they seemed too cliché.

He remembered the moment of fundraising, the teammates’ "heroics" in decomposing weapons and emptying warehouses, as well as the moment 2.5 million sacrificial power vanished.

Tu Hu chuckled, suddenly inspired:

"Decided, from now on you’re called: Spend My 2.5 Million."

Next moment, Challenger Tips echoed throughout the player faction.

[Challenger Tips (all channels): Congratulations to player "Hard Bangbang" for successfully generating special life soul: Spend My 2.5 Million.]

(PS: Some readers asked why the Dream Weaving Clan’s opponents are the Erosion Light Clan, and not letting Ah Le inherit the Reflection Rule of the Mirroring Clan... Here’s a clarification on the plot line, there’s actually a mention earlier in the story, following are part of the screenshot from Chapter 309.)
