All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 96 Ye Lingxian's Increasingly Harshness
Where is Ye Lingxian?
It wasn't anywhere else, it was in the training ground of Leigu Mountain, but it didn't enter through the main gate. Instead, it followed the sewer where Chu Xiu cultivated on the mountain, crawling all the way down from the foot of the mountain.

Then, while Chu Xiu and Shen Tianxing were fighting, he quietly sneaked into the cesspool in the training ground.

Yes, that's right, he went into the cesspool again!

But unlike the last time when he simply dodged, this time he used the cesspool to create a place that resembled a "domain".

After being discovered by Chu Xiu, it stopped hiding and jumped out with the excrement in its pouch.

Yes, that's right, they jumped out with a pile of dung!
"Chu Xiu, you're not the only one who can break the world's shackles. While you're improving, we're improving too. I wasn't number one on both lists back then for nothing!"

As he made the sound, he waved his hands, creating a scene of "all excrement returning to its source".

The principle behind it is not complicated.

First of all, he is a "dog bastard" with the profession of cultivating the Tai Xuan Divine Skill, which allows him to cultivate a weakened version of the primordial spirit in a low-level martial arts world.

It was already very strong.

Building on this foundation, he practiced swordsmanship and even invented "sword control".

But he abandoned the sword.

During this period, I studied "Capturing Dragons and Controlling Cranes," combined with the Tai Xuan Divine Skill and my own talent, and finally achieved a level similar to the Return of Ten Thousand Swords, where I could control thousands of objects simultaneously.

At this point, he was already very strong.

If he controlled only swords, then it would truly be a case of "ten thousand swords returning to their origin," allowing him to roam freely in the first part of the Storm Riders series, with strength no less than Shen Tianxing's.

Without Chu Xiu, he and Shen Tianxing would have become an insurmountable obstacle that even ordinary people couldn't avoid.

Only by using the "Mark of the Gods" can we deal with it.

It's not that being unharmed is inferior to them, but rather that they suffer from the disadvantage of not being able to amplify their combat power due to their talent.

However, even in this state, Ye Lingxian didn't think of shouting "Sword, come!" and then having a real duel with Chu Xiuzhen. Instead, she hid in the cesspool again.

After being discovered, it was even subjected to a "return of all excrement to its source" ritual.

"That's going too far! Enough already!"

"I can't afford to lose again, I have to win this time! I don't even dare to dream of first place, but I absolutely have to get into the top five, otherwise I'll have no potential left and no future!"

Ye Lingxian said solemnly.

His "all excrement returns to its source" was comical, but at that moment, he was quite serious.

I'm unwilling to leave my fate to others!

Whether he lives or dies is his own decision. If Chu Xiu insists on attacking him, he will splatter Chu Xiu with excrement. He will never give up!
Why do you have to do this?

Chu Xiu broke out in a cold sweat.

"You don't understand! Although you'll only get banned if you fail to reach the top five more than ten times, a newbie who fails twice in a row will be shut out by all the major guilds! Guild wars, monster sieges, farming the River of Time—all sorts of development opportunities will be out of my reach. I'll be in a vicious cycle with no hope of ever turning things around!"

These words made Chu Xiu suddenly understand Ye Lingxian a little better.

He was once ranked number one on both lists.

It went wrong once.

It's okay if he fails to stop himself this time, but if he can't even get into the top five, people will think that he was just lucky on his first run.

They believed he lacked ability.

If you can't join a powerful guild, you won't be able to enjoy the benefits of sieges, and you won't be able to find strong partners when monsters are attacking the city.

Forget about the long river of time.

No one would give a precious team spot to a loser who has lost two games in a row!
"You've really gone to a lot of trouble. Just for that 'Return of All Dung to Its Source' move, I'll let you go!" Chu Xiu said. "Go fight those people who are hiding! If you can win, I'll let you be third!"

As for the second one, forget about it.

The Mark of the Heavens is like a cheat code; the unharmed combat power is burdened by the talent, but the authority is real!
"I'm not afraid of anyone but you!"

In the end, the legend of the martial arts world unfolded: the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal fought the Demon Lord of Tianshan once more, unleashing a devastating move, "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One," whose sword energy stretched across thirty thousand miles and whose light chilled nineteen provinces. With a cry of "Swords, come!", the swords seemed to hang upside down like the Milky Way, and the two fought to a standstill. From that moment on, the Five Greats were no more.

Only two masters remain in the mortal realm: the Eastern Sword Master and the Western Demon Master, locked in a standoff.

……

"You must be tired after fighting Shen Tianxing, right? Here, have some porridge!"

Wushang brought a bowl of Laba porridge with extra ingredients to Chu Xiu and said, "I cooked this myself. It may not be very effective in increasing your power, but it tastes absolutely delicious!"

This overture of being overly attentive made Chu Xiu wary.

"Little girl, you wouldn't be trying to poison me because you can't beat me, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Wushang smiled and said, "Guess!"

Chu Xiu: "..."

This bowl of specially made Laba porridge is indeed quite substantial: the main ingredient is the "Manggu Zhuha" that Duan Yu ate, which is extremely poisonous.

The auxiliary ingredient is Tianshan ice silkworm, the thing Zhuang Juxian encountered.

There is also the Bodhi snake.

Although there is no Divine Eagle or Sword Tomb yet, the valley still exists, and there is a giant python inside. Zhao Xu sent people to capture it and send it to Leigu Mountain.

The part used to cook porridge is its poison sac.

Add in all sorts of other things, and this bowl of porridge could poison most of the Tianlong martial arts world!
But it is also a precious medicine for enhancing one's skills.

Of course, this stuff wasn't made for Chu Xiu to drink. There was more than one bowl of the special Laba porridge—Wu Shang scooped out the most "nutritious" part, the top layer of the porridge, and gave it to Chu Xiu.

The rest will be left to Huang Shang.

He was Chu Xiu's favorite, the second native with the potential to form a core.

It relates to the world's upgrading.

"I'll trust you this once and see just how delicious it really is!"

Chu Xiu finally accepted it, drank it all in one gulp, and found that it tasted quite good. As for the effects, although his internal strength didn't increase much, the strength of his meridians and acupoints improved significantly.

"There's something wrong with you!"

Chu Xiu put down his bowl and stared into Wu Shang's eyes as he spoke.

"Have it?"

Wushang blinked.

"You're trying to please me. Tell me, what is it?" Chu Xiu noticed the change in Wu Shang's attitude at a glance and was very curious about what she meant.

Could it be that she's taken a liking to me?
And you know what? That guess was actually pretty accurate.

However, it wasn't the kind of attraction that comes from romantic love. After careful consideration, Wushang decided to use her support abilities on Chu Xiu!

"Let me show you something!"

"what?"

Before Chu Xiu could react, a talent panel was shared with him.

[Talent: Exclusive Accessory]

[Effect: Can be bound to one player, becoming their exclusive accessory, providing comprehensive attribute boosts! While in accessory mode, the player cannot attack but is immune to all damage! It accumulates energy during battle; upon reaching full energy, it can unleash an attack that combines the player's and host's attributes!]

[Comment: Studying medicine won't save the main DPS; support and hammer are a better match!]

[Special Effect - Deep Binding: Selects a unique host, sharing level permissions with them, but the maximum number of Celestial Marks that can be obtained will be reduced to one!]
