Chapter 921: Chapter 567: Solo Clear_2

This is something that can’t be compensated for with skill alone, you can only increase your own attack power.

How to increase it?

Add points!

Attribute points, skill points!

And weapons and equipment, all of these need to keep up, otherwise even if Xu Yang’s swordsmanship is divine, he is still powerless against high order demon monsters that crush him with their numbers.

Once his thoughts settled, Xu Yang looked down and found that the demonized barbarian’s corpse had already vanished, leaving behind only a piece of loot waiting to be picked up.

A cudgel

Equipment Order: First-Order

Equipment Attributes: 3 blunt

Equipment Introduction: A regular wooden stick.

Undoubtedly trash!

Even so, Xu Yang still stowed it in his bag.

A mosquito’s leg is still meat; you can’t aim too high when you’re just starting.

After collecting the loot, Xu Yang continued to look for targets, ready to clear out all the demonized barbarians in the woods and have a sensational “solo run!”

In this world where the laws have completely changed, “monster hunting to level up” is the only way to gain strength, but there’s only so much experience a monster can give, it’s a big difference whether it’s split between one person or ten.

Therefore, among the new lords at the bottom, “solo runs” are very popular tactics, as they allow for the quick acquisition of experience, improvement of skill levels, and a significant increase in the quality of loot, with many benefits.

The only downside is the high risk; if you level up fast, you might die fast too, and every year a lot of new lords die from doing solo runs.

Even so, there are still many new lords who flock to it, because being at the bottom with not much to their name, risking it all is their only hope for advancement. If they don’t take the chance now, they may not even have an opportunity to try later.

In this manner, after half a day.

“Roar!!!”

A mournful roar, and a corpse body fell to the ground.

“You have killed a Demonized Barbarian (Elite)”

“You earned 300 experience points!”

“You annihilated a Demonized Barbarian squad, earned a special loot reward—an Arrow Tower!”

“You annihilated a Demonized Barbarian squad, earned an additional 2000 experience points and 10 reputation points as a reward!”

“Your character level has been raised to level 4, and you’ve gained 1 attribute point and 1 skill point!”

“…”

A stream of battle records flashed by, Xu Yang remained silent, quietly picking up the last piece of loot dropped by that barbarian.

Thorny Stick

Equipment Order: First-Order (Fine)

Equipment Attributes: 8 piercing.

Equipment Introduction: A large wooden stick with thorns, which requires a certain amount of strength to wield.

“Elite Barbarian?”

“Refined Weapon?”

“Interesting!”

Xu Yang smiled, looking into his space bag, where amidst a pile of cudgels, there was also a card shining with light.

Arrow Tower

Building Order: First-Order (Common)

Building Civilization: None

Building Skills: Shooting (automatically shoots arrows, requires a certain amount of resources, insufficient resources will be directly deducted from Heaven-Connecting Coins)

Building Skills: Infiltrate (Archers can infiltrate, providing certain protection and increasing the range and power of the archer’s shots.)

Architecture Introduction: A standard defensive building, capable of effectively protecting your territory.

…

As mentioned before, solo adventuring has great advantages, not only allowing for a substantial amount of experience to be gained but also providing high-quality loot and even special rewards, of which the Thorny Stick and Arrow Tower Card are examples.

Xu Yang was pleased to stow away the Thorny Stick and allocated all the attribute points and skill points he had earned from leveling up into “Physical Strength” and “Strong Strike.”

Physical Strength needs no further explanation unless you possess special skills and are a noble “sorcerer,” otherwise, stamina is necessary for solo adventuring, as it can enhance attack, endurance, and the precious ability to survive.

Strong Strike also requires no further explanation. Although the damage reduction effect of “Strong Body” is significant, Xu Yang follows the “Cloth Robed Sword Saint” style. He even found the fur outfit with 5 protection too heavy to wear, so naturally, he wouldn’t waste skill points on Strong Body, but on “Strong Strike,” because increasing damage is the key to success.

He boosted Physical Strength to 9 points and Strong Strike to LV5. Factoring in the newly acquired Thorny Stick with 8 piercing damage, his combat power visibly increased.

Yet, Xu Yang did not continue his slaughter but chose to return to the town hall instead.

Back at the town hall, the four Farmers were still chopping down the surrounding trees, having cleared out a decently sized space.

According to conventional development, this would be the time to build houses and barracks to train soldiers and strengthen the defensive forces of the territory.

But Xu Yang chose not to do so. He only had the four Farmers each build a house, and he didn’t even glance at the barracks. Then he went to the Lord’s Hall and chose to teleport back.

“Enter the Sky-reaching Tower!”

“Please select the entry area!”

“Thirteen major zones, First Layer Zone. Ninth Campus!”

“Dear Lord Xu Yang, welcome to the Sky-reaching Tower. Please remember the following instructions…”

With a flash of white light and a shift in space, Xu Yang, who had just been in the town hall, instantly arrived in a magnificent and peculiar space.

The Sky-reaching Tower, the pillar of the world, the Sacred Place of the Lords, the central nucleus of everything.

After years of development, the organizational structure of the Sky-reaching Tower has matured significantly, resembling a super-civilized state with clearly divided facilities for different levels and groups, including all kinds of infrastructure.

There are “major zones” divided by clans, “tower levels” by corresponding ranks, and “districts” by power organizations and forces.

As a First-Order Lord of the Human Clan, Xu Yang was currently restricted to activities within the thirteen major zones designated for his clan in the First Layer Zone. Moreover, due to his affiliation with the Ninth Middle School of the Heaven-Connecting Academy, he was eligible to enter the “campus” established within the Sky-reaching Tower by the Ninth Middle School.

Of course, being permitted to enter does not mean one must do so. If he wished, he could go to other areas as well, provided they were not the private domains of certain organizations. As a First-Order Lord, he could freely enter any place in the First Layer Zone.

However, relative to other areas, the Ninth Campus offers certain benefits and subsidies to its students, so the Lords who graduated from the Ninth Middle School generally prefer to operate within the campus.

This activity includes many aspects: resource exchanges, equipment sales, and also the formation of teams and alliances from different territories. In short, a Lord looking to develop cannot just bury their head and stay in their territory, but must interact and communicate with other Lords.

Additionally, Lords are required to complete the Sky-reaching Tower’s conscription tasks on a regular and quantified basis. This responsibility is inescapable and serves as a sword of Damocles over the heads of all Lords, forcing them to progress, for with each conscription comes the death of many weaker Lords, like Xu Yang’s parents in this life.

“Welcome to the Ninth Campus!”

As soon as Xu Yang emerged from the Transmission Array, a young man wearing the Ninth Middle School uniform approached him with a smile: “I am a member of the welcoming committee of the Ninth Campus Student Association, classmate, do you need me to introduce you to the various facilities and benefits of our Ninth Campus?”

“Thank you, senior, but I’m already familiar with it from the academy, there’s no need to trouble you,” Xu Yang refused without wanting to waste time.

“I see!”

The young man was not bothered and remained smiling: “Then explore on your own. If you encounter any difficulties, come find me. Also, you are welcome to join our Student Association. Our Ninth Middle School’s Student Association has a long heritage, with an excellent system for personnel and training tradition, especially for new students with potential…”

After a long spiel of non-nutritional talk about recruitment, Xu Yang finally got rid of the enthusiastic Student Association member.

Among Lords, various power organizations exist, ranging from clans to nations, and even smaller groups. Generally, there is a tendency to band together for survival as many hands make light work, while a lone wolf cannot outmatch a large organization.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Ninth Campus has a Student Association, apart from which there are various clubs and the Ninth Campus itself, each an organization nested within another. Their relationships are intricate, perfectly reflecting the nature of human society.

But these had nothing to do with Xu Yang, a newly established Lord with an orphaned background and no special talents or fortunate encounters. He could not possibly join these forces, and even if he did, he would only be cannon fodder at best, with no hope for resource allocation or club subsidies.

Hence, Xu Yang did not waste time chatting with these people and headed straight for the Ninth Campus’ trade market.
