Online Game: Unrivaled Gods

Four months after the game started.

In the dense forest outside Jiuyuan City, a series of hissing sounds came from. A child dressed in black military uniform and holding a dagger stood still with his eyes closed. Around him, more than a dozen colorful snakes slithered around.

"hiss."

Among the dozen or so snakes, a golden snake king, noticeably larger than the others, seemed to be giving orders. Upon hearing the golden snake king's hiss, the snakes sprang up from the ground like arrows and charged towards the little boy.

The little boy's ears twitched slightly, his feet moved slightly, and his body swayed slightly. More than a dozen snakes narrowly missed him.

A flash of cold light appeared in his hand, and more than a dozen snakes were severed in two. The severed snakes trembled slightly on the ground. There was not a trace of blood on the little boy. When the golden snake king saw his subordinates being severed in two, he had the idea of ​​retreating and swam away into the distance.

"Whoosh." A flash of light, and the golden snake king was pinned to the spot. The dagger pierced through the snake's body, leaving only the hilt outside, while the rest disappeared into the ground.

After struggling twice, the golden serpent king's eyes dimmed, and it no longer had the strength to struggle.

"Young Master, you are amazing."

The maid Xiaohua emerged from the shadows and stood behind the little boy, who was Sun Rui, who had grown to the age of three. Due to drinking tiger milk and continuous exercise, his body had developed to the point where he was no shorter than a five-year-old child.

"Is it really that amazing?"

He grinned foolishly, opened his eyes, and looked at Xiaohua and Chouya. Xiaohua and Chouya nodded in unison when they heard Sun Rui's question.

Sun Rui knew that one of the two people nodding was because they genuinely thought he was amazing, and the other was because they felt he needed encouragement.

To be honest, Sun Rui didn't expect it to be so difficult to become a Tier 1 soldier. At first, he thought that with his monster-killing speed, he could reach level 10 and become a Tier 1 soldier in seven game days at most. However, his ideal was very rich, but the reality was very harsh. After reaching level 9, his experience increased dramatically. The experience from this level was enough for him to kill snakes for more than three months. After killing the Golden Snake King just now, he finally reached level 10, which met the standard for a Tier 1 soldier.

"Phew... that's enough."

Only after reaching the first tier of soldiers did Sun Rui possess the strength to contend with second-tier soldiers. It was truly tragic that Sun Rui's attributes were sealed. If his attributes hadn't been sealed, Lu Bu's initial attributes would have been comparable to second-tier soldiers, and with the power of tigers and leopards, he could have easily wiped out a small squad of second-tier soldiers. Three months ago, his attributes, strength, and speed were all sealed by 70%, making him completely incapable of fighting second-tier soldiers. Now, with his physical growth, the seal has been reduced to 50%, and he has become a first-tier soldier again. His attributes are now comparable to second-tier soldiers. The difference in strength between an adult and a child has been leveled off with the power of tigers and leopards.

"I think I can challenge you today, Sister Xiaohua."

After reviewing his attributes, Sun Rui felt incredibly confident and challenged the maid Xiao Hua. This wasn't the first time; starting three months ago, Sun Rui had frequently challenged Xiao Hua, though he had suffered crushing defeats each time.

"Young Master, here we go again."

As Xiaohua spoke, she retreated into the shadows and slowly disappeared from Sun Rui's sight.

"call."

Sun Rui calmed himself down and focused intently, listening to the sounds around him. His maid, Xiao Hua, had the advantage of hiding, while Sun Rui's reflexes were 50% sealed by the system, so he had to concentrate.

With a "whoosh," Sun Rui pushed off with his feet, his body drifting backward. The maid Xiao Hua descended from the sky, landing where Sun Rui had just stood. Seeing that Xiao Hua had just landed and had not yet regained her strength, Sun Rui pushed off with his feet and jumped into the air, slashing down with the dagger in his hand.

"Clang." The daggers in their hands clashed, sparks flying. The maid Xiaohua's right leg bent slightly, clearly indicating that Sun Rui's attack was quite powerful.

Taking advantage of his small stature, Sun Rui kicked the maid Xiao Hua in the right shoulder with his left foot, disrupting her balance. Xiao Hua staggered back two steps due to the force, while Sun Rui landed gracefully on the other side.

"Sister Xiaohua, you should know from those two moves that you can't beat me in a head-on fight, and now I can't let you hide anymore, so surrender."

"Young Master, you've reached the level of a Tier 1 soldier. This doesn't mean I was careless. Fine, I admit defeat."

"Ding! Player Lu Bu has completed the Inner Strength Trial quest. Please go to Lu Liang to receive your reward."

"Finally finished. I didn't expect this task to be so difficult. These Tier 2 soldiers are too monstrous. It's so hard to fight them. And this is with me as Lu Bu. If it were other players, it would take forever."

Sun Rui breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the mission completed, but he felt the mission was too monstrous. However, he did not know that the guards were special troops, and Xiao Hua was a top-tier talent with high-level combat awareness, which was why the fight was so difficult. If it were an ordinary soldier, Sun Rui would have succeeded more than three months ago.

Just as Sun Rui was sighing, a square handkerchief made of plain silk, about a foot in size, was extended from his side. He knew it was Chou Ya wiping his sweat. In four months, Sun Rui had reached level ten, and although Chou Ya couldn't see his level, Sun Rui knew she was definitely stuck at level nine.

Although Ugly Girl is likely to become a famous historical general, she doesn't level up as fast as Sun Rui, and will probably be stuck at level nine for another month.

“Father, I can now defeat a Tier 2 soldier on my own.”

After returning home with Ugly Girl and Little Flower, Sun Rui headed straight for Lü Liang's study, appearing very eager, knowing that his strength would leap forward once he obtained internal energy.

Lu Liang ignored Sun Rui's words and instead looked at Xiao Hua, the maid standing behind Sun Rui, with a questioning look. Xiao Hua nodded.

Xiao Hua nodded, and Lü Liang was as if he were frozen in place. Xiao Hua was sent by Lü Liang to protect Sun Rui, so he knew Xiao Hua's strength. Lü Liang hadn't expected Sun Rui to complete the order so quickly. Lü Liang had never imagined that a three-year-old child could defeat a Tier 2 soldier, and a Tier 2 special soldier at that. It completely overturned Lü Liang's worldview.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Sun Rui's shout brought Lü Liang back to his senses. After regaining his senses, Lü Liang gave Xiao Hua a wink, and Xiao Hua understood. She then led Chou Ya out of the study, closing the door behind her, leaving only Lü Liang and his son inside.

“Bu’er, what I said when you were born was indeed true. My son is a god, hahaha.”

After it was just him and his son left, Lü Liang's stern face broke into a smile. He reached out and picked up Sun Rui, looking very happy. After holding him for a while, Lü Liang put Sun Rui down and took out a book with a purple cover from his body.

“Bu’er, at first I wanted to teach you our family’s ancestral ‘Chaotic Slaughter Technique,’ but your talent is too high, and practicing our family’s ‘Chaotic Slaughter Technique’ would completely bury your talent. This ‘Overlord’s True Scripture’ was specially selected from the national treasury by the late emperor because my father, who is also your grandfather, was meritorious in guarding the border. However, the ‘Overlord’s True Scripture’ is too domineering. Your grandfather could not cultivate it, and I have been by his side every day but have not been able to comprehend and cultivate it. Now I am specially passing on the ‘Overlord’s True Scripture’ to you, hoping that you can become as domineering as the creator of this true scripture in the future.”

Lu Liang solemnly handed the purple-covered book to Sun Rui, his eyes gleaming with hope.

After receiving the book with the purple cover, Sun Rui felt a sudden weight in his hand. He was secretly surprised; what was the book made of? It must weigh over ten pounds! His gaze fell on the cover, where four large, gilded characters were written in a flamboyant style: "The True Scripture of the Overlord." As Sun Rui looked at these four characters, his mind went blank, and he heard the sounds of battle. A thick mist surrounded him, and a black horse appeared. Its coat was as black as satin, glossy and shiny, except for its four hooves, which were as white as snow. The horse had a long back, a short and straight waist, and strong, well-developed limbs and tendons. On the horse sat a man wearing a red tiger-skin battle robe, a black tiger-bite armor, and a belt with two dragons playing with a pearl around his waist. He held a halberd, but his head was obscured by the white mist.

"You."

The mysterious figure uttered a voice, and Sun Rui felt a tremor run through his body, as if it were pressing down on him, making him lower his head. The momentum was even more overwhelming than when he watched the training exercise four months ago.

"can."

"build."

After uttering three words, the mysterious figure transformed into streams of purple energy and entered Sun Rui's body, beginning to circulate. The purple energy inside Sun Rui's body pressed down so hard that his bones cracked as if he couldn't bear it. Slowly, the purple energy seeped into Sun Rui's body and flowed into his eyes. Sun Rui felt a heat in his eyes, as if he had broken through some limitation and could see things with great detail. As his eyes changed, the purple energy disappeared from his body.
