Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 185 The Future Number One Under Heaven, the Master of the Sword; The Holder of the New All-Heavens Character Template

"No, why?"

Why would they have such thoughts?

Lin Tianshan couldn't understand it.

"Life is so precious, how can they be so indifferent to it?"

The researcher in charge of social research at the Tian Shu Bureau hesitated for a moment, but still spoke:
"Director, according to our investigation data, although the first spiritual energy tide and the subsequent beast tide did cause some casualties, this is still relatively minor compared to the vast population of Great Xia."

"Speak the key."

Lin Tianshan interrupted.

"Simply put, there has been no substantial improvement in resource allocation."

The researcher took a deep breath.

"Although some companies have reduced their staff as a result, they have not expanded their recruitment. Instead, they have made existing employees take on more work. Wages have not increased, and although housing prices have fallen, fewer people are buying houses now, and the pressure of life has not decreased."

"Especially in urban villages and university town areas, the residents are mainly migrant workers and college graduates who have been working for a while. For them..."

The researcher didn't continue, but everyone understood what she meant.

People who have been working long hours often harbor a lot of resentment.

"Even so, they must have loved ones they care about, right? Didn't they ever think about how their families would be heartbroken and in pain if they died?"

Lin Tianshan still couldn't understand why people would disregard their own lives just because of work and life pressures.

The researcher gave a wry smile and continued:

"Director, have you forgotten the announcement that the Tian Shu Bureau issued before? In addition, with the overall change in the atmosphere in Da Xia, the public's acceptance is actually higher than we imagined."

"Furthermore, after the first spiritual energy tide, almost everyone purchased insurance, in addition to the generous subsidies provided by the Tian Shu Bureau of the Great Xia Dynasty for those who perished in the beast tide."

"From a material point of view, there is really nothing to worry about."

"If it weren't for the fact that more people were afraid of pain, there might be more people still there than we imagine."

"."

Lin Tianshan's lips twitched slightly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The time between the first and second spiritual energy tides is not long, so why has everyone's perception changed so much?
Is this still the Great Xia he knows?

"Make the troops stationed outside the city more vigilant."

"Once anything unusual is detected, immediately sound the alarm throughout the city; as for those who refuse to go to the shelter, at least tell them to stay at home and not wander around."

"You still need to value your own life more."

Lin Tianshan rubbed his temples and steered the conversation back to the main topic.
Although there are no signs of a large-scale beast tide yet, as the director of the Tian Shu Bureau of Yunchuan City, he must prepare for the worst.

Speaking of this, Lin Tianshan felt a pang of sadness.

He recalled his conversation with Li Ming from the Chaoyang City branch last month. At that time, the two brothers in distress were joking with each other and agreed that whoever's side produced the Heavenly Treasure first would have to treat everyone to a meal.

Not long after, two more holders of celestial treasures emerged in Chaoyang City.

One has already stabilized at the third tier, while the other, although having received the inheritance for a shorter time, is also approaching the third tier in combat power. They have probably completed their breakthrough by now.

After that, he wouldn't answer Li Ming's calls anymore. He knew without even answering that the guy just wanted to show off.

Their Yunchuan City is no worse than Chaoyang City in any aspect, so how come they don't have a single holder of any Heavenly Treasures?
Even if you don't join the Heavenly Pivot Bureau, it would be good if you just showed yourselves. At least let me know that Yun Chuan City is not without holders of the treasures of the heavens.

"Oh no! A large-scale gathering of spiritual energy has been detected!"

"A large number of mutated creatures are suspected to be approaching Yunchuan City!"

The monitor's voice suddenly rose, and Lin Tianshan abruptly stood up, his gaze shooting towards the screen like lightning:
"Make them prepare; we absolutely cannot allow any mutated creature to breach our defenses!"

"Give them a good blast! Bomb those beasts to death outside the city!"

"Giving them so much wilderness wasn't enough; they even dare to covet human cities! It's utterly absurd!"

Lin Tianshan snorted coldly.

He knew his words were somewhat extreme, but so what?

He's not a mutant, so why should he think from the perspective of a mutant?
As the branch director of the Tian Shu Bureau, he only needs to consider one thing—protecting every citizen of this city.

In his view, giving up the areas outside the city to those mutated creatures was already a huge concession, and now they dare to set their sights on human cities, which is simply greedy.

"Yes!" On the outskirts of Yunchuan City, a main road that once ran through the city has now become the territory of mutated creatures. On the smooth asphalt road, various different mutated races occupy their own territories in a clear and distinct manner.

A pack of mutated wolves, their bodies seemingly covered in metal, patrolled the left lane, while a massive mutated python coiled on the right, its forked tongue flashing with arcs of electricity. In the middle of the road, a group of creatures resembling pangolins but with scorpion tails were digging at the road surface with their sharp claws, clearly enjoying the hard texture.

Compared to soft soil, these paved roads built by humans seem to be more favored by the mutated races; although different groups of mutated creatures maintain a safe distance, they have all chosen this flat road as their habitat.

This kind of thing seemed unbelievable before the spiritual energy revival, and it remains so after the revival; because it completely contradicts human understanding of biological habits.

At the very least, creatures like pythons shouldn't like hard asphalt surfaces.

But reality is just that absurd.

Ahead of the road inhabited by these mutated creatures, a figure stood silently. He wore a blue and white striped short-sleeved tracksuit, but held a gleaming Tang-style horizontal sword in his hand, which seemed out of place with his attire.

"Normally, I should be holding a tennis racket in my hand."

Lin Xiu's calm voice carried a hint of a smile.

Currently, there are three known template holders in the Great Xia Dynasty: Ye Xuan, who holds the King's Power and Hegemony template; Elder Zhong, who inherited the Rock King Emperor template; and Shen Xuan, who obtained the Unlicensed Knight template. Excluding those who have not yet revealed themselves, he should be the fourth template holder of the Myriad Realms Character in the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, unlike the templates obtained by the three people mentioned above, the template he obtained was something that no one had anticipated.

The Prince of Tennis World - Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye and Yan Wang Di Jun need no further explanation, as they both originate from worlds possessing immense power. Mumen Rider, on the other hand, is merely weak in his own right, as his world not only contains "gods" but also beings like Saitama, who are at a bug-level level.

Their worlds are undoubtedly those with powerful combat systems.

But Tezuka Kunimitsu originated from an everyday world of playing tennis.

Although tennis in this world is a few things different from real tennis, it is undoubtedly the everyday world.

It's hard to imagine that character templates from the everyday world would appear in reality.

Coincidentally, before the spiritual energy revival, he was the president of the tennis club at Yunchuan University. After the revival, because he awakened the "Sharpness" superpower, he had to give up tennis and start practicing swordsmanship in order to gain enough power to protect the things he cared about.

A staff for a month, a knife for a year, and a gun for a lifetime—compared to other weapons, the staff and knife are obviously easier to learn, and his special ability also makes the knife his best choice.

As for why he didn't choose a sword, a knife suited his preferences better than a sword, and it felt more like a tennis racket to hold.

Even so, he did not give up tennis, but simply reduced his practice.

For him, tennis has never been just a sport, but a passion ingrained in his bones; he picked up a racket as a child because of a tennis anime, and has never put it down since.

Others may choose tennis for honor, talent, or some other reason, but he chose it purely out of his most primal love for it.

But fate is always full of drama.

One accidental swing of the racket, a habitual self-encouragement of "Give it your all," and the tennis racket that had been with him for many years became the medium for the templates of various characters.

Moreover, it served as the medium for Tezuka Kunimitsu's character design in The Prince of Tennis.

What surprised him even more was that Tezuka Kunimitsu's role model was different from the role models he knew. It didn't require him to act or fit the role model itself. The only requirement was to maintain the purest love for tennis.

On this point, he was confident that he was second to none.

So when he obtained the Tezuka Kunimitsu template, his compatibility with the template reached 60%. He not only awakened skills such as "Zero-style Chop" and "Tezuka Zone", but also mastered the three mysteries of the state of no self: the limit of being tempered a thousand times, the ultimate in talent, and the ultimate in being flawless.

Although it sounds unbelievable, when Lin Xiu grasped the hilt of the sword in the state of selflessness, an unprecedented sense of certainty welled up in his heart.

I will surely become the best in the world and the master of swordsmanship in the future.

Of course, this was just Lin Xiu's realization at the time. When he came out of the state of selflessness, he knew that it was impossible.

If he, who obtained the template of Tezuka Kunimitsu, can have such abilities, then what about the holders of other treasures from all heavens?

He could strive to become the master of swordsmanship, but he felt that becoming the best in the world was something he could hardly hope to achieve.

However, one thing is certain: in a state of selflessness, the Tang sword in his hand seems to become one with the tennis racket, and the skills that are originally used in tennis can also be fully performed with the sword.

Even when he is out of the state of selflessness, he can still use it, but not as skillfully and powerfully as when he uses it in the state of selflessness.

This also proved his conjecture: the so-called tennis skills are just a manifestation of the abilities of the people in the world of Prince of Tennis. It is only because the medium is a tennis ball that they are presented in the form of a tennis ball.

He uses a knife, so naturally he can use a knife to perform those techniques.

Like now.

A huge mutated wild boar noticed Lin Xiu. Its brown pupils flashed with ferocity. Its thick hooves pawed at the asphalt road. With a roar, the monster charged towards Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu stood still, but a soft white halo swirled around him.
