Chapter 1795: Chapter 460: Grinding Hard to Raise Funds

The pale-golden Guardian Giant Sword felt light as nothing in Tu Hu’s hand.

Up ahead, an Earth-shaking Giant Beast shaped like a rhino, its body covered in thick rocky shell, was charging forward with a Roar.

Every stomp of its thick hooves made the ground lightly tremble; the earth-yellow Energy gathering at its nose was rapidly storing up a strike fierce enough to Mountain Splitting Stone.

Facing this ferocious collision, Tu Hu’s gaze stayed calm.

Block.

The giant sword swept horizontally.

The next second, the Earth-shaking Giant Beast, carrying ten thousand jin of Momentum, slammed hard into an invisible barrier.

Boom!

A deafening blast erupted.

Tu Hu still stood where he was, but the Earth-shaking Giant Beast was like it had rammed into an eternal mountain range; its Frenzy impact was completely dispelled into nothing.

Its massive body was violently thrown backward by the reaction force, the earth-yellow Energy gathered at its nose instantly scattered, fine cracks spreading across its rocky shell; its huge beast eyes were filled with bewildered Suffering.

Tu Hu twisted his wrist at this moment, and the horizontal giant sword smoothly thrust forward.

Strike.

The movement was clean, swift as Wind Walk.

In the instant the Sword Point landed.

Puff!

The Earth-shaking Giant Beast’s massive body suddenly went rigid, the Life inside it severed in an instant as if by an invisible blade.

The light in its eyes quickly dimmed, and with a crash it collapsed to the ground.

Its body turned into scattered starlight, then converged into mist, leaving only a single unicorn material as proof it had once existed.

[Challenger Tips: Guardian Sword Stance comprehension +8.3.]

Tu Hu slowly sheathed his sword, feeling the Sword Dao Power that existed in the unseen, his mastery of the Guardian Sword Stance becoming ever more natural and effortless.

All along the way, whether it was packs of low-level Monsters or thick-skinned giant beasts like this, none could last even a single round before his newly-formed Rule Sword Stance.

Instant kill all the way.

Though he held a giant sword, in essence all his Attacks were Domain-type coverage.

A simple sword strike—anything within the Domain, even a mosquito flying through, had to take a hit.

Horizontal sword to block—even if the enemy’s Output covered him from 360 degrees with no blind spot, it would all be directly blocked.

This stripped-down, back-to-basics feeling of combat made Tu Hu feel incredibly at ease.

He felt he was moving closer to that harmonious state where Mr. Cang Xuan Sr.’s body, mind, and Sword Dao were highly aligned, with the ultimate goal: my heart is the heavenly principle.

Crossing this area, the terrain ahead gradually opened up, and the Teleport Point of the Phantom Spirit Wilderness Region came into view.

From far away he could already hear the noisy voices of people.

He could see at the entrance to the Teleport Point a large crowd of newbie players in Black Cloth Clothes gathering there.

The regional channel had been split into 100 channels, all filled with calls seeking parties:

"Looking to be carried through Ah Le Training Camp, can follow the party long-term, graduate together then head to other maps; I can swap what faction I play based on party needs—anything’s fine except Damage-taking Stream."

"Rank 3, 2 strong teammates, looking for a Healer with a starting Rejuvenation Life Soul, efficiently clear maps to farm Level, aiming to graduate within a month."

"Professional Ah Le Training Camp leader, looking for two teammates with Combined Soul Level 30+, graduate together."

These lively voices let Tu Hu, who had been traveling solo for half a month, feel a surge of vibrant Life force.

He didn’t stop; his gaze passed over these newbies, looking toward the area farther ahead.

That was where countless newbie players started their journey in the Illusion Spirit Wilderness, and in this area they could activate the Return Space permission and then go back to Imperial Tomb Village.

"Time to head back."

Tu Hu drew in a deep breath, dispersed the Guardian Giant Sword in his hand, straightened the clothes and robe made slightly disheveled by battle, and strode through the noisy crowd toward the Teleport Point.

Ten minutes later, Tu Hu’s figure appeared at the Imperial Tomb Village Teleport Point.

When the white light faded, the familiar bustle and surging vitality instantly surrounded him.

Completely different from the ruined, desolate scenery everywhere in the Illusion Spirit Wilderness, the Imperial Tomb Village before his eyes was like a super metropolis.

Beneath towers that pierced the clouds, countless players of all shapes and sizes rode Vehicles like shoals of fish, shuttling back and forth through the sky and trailing bands of Liu Guang.

Every time he came back, he could see new buildings rising from the ground, and the city’s area expanding.

The speed of change was dazzling.

This was also the main base in every player’s eyes; all core functions had to be enhanced and used here.

He didn’t linger to admire the prosperity; with a clear goal he headed straight for the Weapon Forging Room in the East District of the city.

Once he entered the Independent Space, he took from his Space Bag the Rune Resonance Weapon that had accompanied him for so long: Can’t Kill Me (Shield).

If it were before he’d obtained the sword-stance inheritance, this was undoubtedly an important Damage Taker component for him.

But now, this Rune Resonance Weapon was basically useless.

The sword-stance Life Soul in his Star Vein Slot was his most powerful "weapon" now.

It could make the Rules follow wherever his heart turned, formless and traceless, yet uniting offense and defense, reaching a state that was nearly flawless.

If there’s a solo arena in the future, he felt he definitely had the right to give it a shot.

Without any attachment, he activated the Decompose procedure.

Light flared on the Forging Platform, enveloping the Shield and rapidly Decomposing it into a sacrificial power number that kept ticking upward.

[Challenger Tips: Decompose successful, sacrificial power returned: 123500 points (5% handling fee deducted).]

After dealing with the old Shield, Tu Hu didn’t stay; he turned and left the Forging Room Space.

Standing on the bustling street, he summoned the Gold Coin Plugin and contacted the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce liaison.

After waiting a few seconds, a message popped up from the plugin:
