Alone and Infinite

Bloodline-related items are far more popular than Li Xia imagined. Even bloodlines deemed by the Hall of Fame to lack potential are still seeing their prices rise rapidly.

In no time, the number of auction coins exceeded 30, which was enough to participate in the auction for the Nightshade Spear.

Time ticked by, eventually settling on 65 auction coins, roughly the same price as a regular blue weapon.

[Ding—Your item has been sold. 0% commission deducted. You have received 65 Auction Coins. Please check your account.]

Okay

Li Xia stroked his chin, realizing that due to a lack of market data and knowledge of street vendor prices, he actually had no concept of prices at all.

Auction houses can reflect some aspects of the market, but it's difficult for them to fully reflect market conditions, because most of the items that go up for auction are those that sellers think are good and have the potential to fetch a premium.

But he needed the silence of the night, no question, he filmed!

6667687172!

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief. The person bidding against him might also be practicing shooting, but those using blue and green gear were mostly beginners, at most level 2.

[Item being delivered, please wait]

In just a moment, a long spear as black as ink appeared in Li Xia's hand. Unlike the large spear, this spear was not very long and belonged to the category of infantry spears.

The shaft is over seven feet long, with just the right thickness. It is made of an extremely tough and fine-grained black ironwood, which feels heavy yet agile in the hand. Its surface has a cold metallic luster, as if it can absorb the surrounding light.

Compared to the white waxwood spear, it is less flexible but more sturdy. The spearhead is slightly longer, with two sharpened edges, and the tip is triangular in shape. It is about 1 foot long and belongs to the category of long spearheads. The sharp edge gleams with a chilling light.

Three blood grooves meandered down the tip of the spear. This spear had no tassel, but judging from its shape, it was not a long spear from ancient China, so the lack of a red tassel was normal.

Li Xia held the spear in his hand with great affection, and couldn't help but twirl it, then proceeded to practice it according to his own method.

Feet should be slightly apart, knees slightly bent, like an ancient pine tree rooted in the earth.

With the left hand supporting the middle of the gun barrel, the tiger's mouth facing the end of the gun, the power is concentrated in both arms, the breath is held and the mind is focused, and a forceful thrust is made!

'laugh! ’

A soft whooshing sound filled the air as the spear, like a nimble snake, moved forward slightly. The shaft bounced back, and the force of the rebound allowed Li Xia to smoothly draw his spear and sweep it horizontally.

"Whoosh—" This time, a powerful, piercing sound filled the air. Li Xia felt increasingly exhilarated and disregarded any particular moves, dancing only according to her own will.

He only stood up, leaning on his rifle, when he was a little out of breath.

happy!

After storing the spear in his personal space, Li Xia sat down on the large stone slab again and continued browsing for the items he needed.

He had the weapons, but he still needed to buy some armor. However, when Li Xia looked at his balance, he realized that he could forget about getting blue-grade armor.

He could only look at the green equipment. However, after browsing through the green equipment, Li Xia frowned.

He noticed that the number of green equipment had decreased significantly, and after pondering for a while, Li Xia guessed the reason.

Blue-quality equipment is the mainstream gear for Tier 2 Apostles. If it is indeed a slightly rare item, Tier 2 Apostles are willing to grit their teeth and pay the transaction fee.

But for those at the first level, is the deducted handling fee just a matter of money? It's a matter of life and death!

Therefore, not only are green equipment scarce, but many of them are also ridiculously expensive!

It's as if these aren't green equipment, but some kind of peerless divine gear, and undervaluing them is a huge loss.

Compared to this, the normally priced green outfits look almost like they're free.

I decisively bought a few pieces of equipment, spent all my auction coins, and armed myself from head to toe.

it's time!

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Chapter 28, ID: 27149

Li Xia knew that the hall had been demolished.

It was already separated from the other halls by a pitifully thick barrier, a fact that Li Xia was also aware of.

But Li Xia never imagined that the palace had lost its ability to travel between worlds.

【I apologize, Your Excellency, the Agent, but the Palace has lost its own pastures and is unable to create worlds for you to traverse.】

Li Xia: ???

No, what am I supposed to do then?

According to the fundamental regulations of the temple, the temple shall not infiltrate other temples through any means such as disguise, simulation, or deprivation.

[It has been determined that this regulation conflicts with the first core regulation of the temple: the temple must maintain its own order.]

[During the judgment process, Article 1 of the core regulations holds the highest authority, thus removing the restrictions on the Hall of Fame.]

[Your Excellency, the Hall will impersonate the other Hall Apostles and teleport you to the 'Joint Trial'.]

[Searching for training grounds where smuggling is possible]

[The Mountain of Light - the 19th Joint Trial Battlefield has been locked!]

[Intrusion in progress, outer barrier bypassed, rewriting the mathematical description of the proxy. Overwriting in progress.]

[Read/write successful! Preparing to transmit!]

[Due to the use of special channels, Your Majesty, please prepare for the impact!]

Before Li Xia could even process what was happening, he felt an immense force rising from the large stone slab beneath his buttocks, followed by what felt like being thrown into a washing machine.

When turned on to the highest setting, the view was a bizarre sight of lines stretched out before your eyes.

Just one glance was enough to make Li Xia feel nauseous and gag. She could only close her eyes, grit her teeth, and wait for it to end.

Suddenly, his feet touched solid ground, the force vanished, and he staggered forward involuntarily.

The screen displays numerous refresh notifications.

[Successfully breached the barrier and arrived at the joint trial battlefield]

[Disguise in progress]

[Disguise successful!]

[Your Excellency, the Actor, are urged to strive for the best possible ranking in the world and gain the attention of the other halls. At that time, it is highly likely that you will be granted a special mark by the Apostle.]

[After obtaining the mark, His Majesty the Agent will complete the final step of his disguise and officially become an Apostle of the Hall, possessing a dual identity and gaining normal access to the Hall.]

[To repair the temple, 50% of the transcendence opportunity gained by His Majesty the Actor will be used by the 'Transcendence Temple' to restore himself.]

To help Your Excellency, the Agent, grow rapidly, the Hall of Transcendence will unlock special auxiliary functions for you.

[Ding! You have activated the passive detection aura for valuable items]

[Ding! You have enabled automatic navigation on the minimap]

[Your Excellency, the Hall awaits your triumphant return once more!]

Taking 50% of the opportunity for transcendence is not a problem, since this thing is only used for settlement and adding merit points, and the better the hall is restored, the more beneficial it is to oneself.

Li Xia sat on the ground, covering his forehead with one hand, feeling extremely dizzy. He never expected that the palace would pull such a stunt.

Smuggling themselves into other dimensions, and even becoming undercover agents?

The current situation is like in old Hong Kong movies, where a triad boss launders his underlings' careers, sends them to police academy, and helps them pass the exams with outstanding performance, while also attracting the attention of the police chief.

Then he quickly rose through the ranks, secretly using his position to funnel benefits to his boss and help the gang grow stronger.

The crucial issue is that I'm the boss of the gang!

The undercover agent sent the boss out to infiltrate the undercover operation?

He opened his personal panel:

[Talent Ability: A Blessing in Disaster (Fate-Level)]

Looking at his ID number 27149, Li Xia's lips twitched twice, and he slowly closed his personal panel.

He began to look around at his surroundings.

It's like a giant opera house, except there are no seats and no ceiling.

Looking up, all you can see is the vast starry sky, as if you are in the universe. Streams of light gather from outside the universe and fall around you like shooting stars.

When the light faded, the figures inside were revealed, and in an instant, nearly a hundred people had gathered there.
