Chapter 190: Sword Saint And Orochi
Why did Qi Ji choose Dungeon Fighter Online as the first online game category or publicly released Secret Realm?
Because currently, the only Role-Playing online game-category Inspiration Crystals are “Hot-Blooded Legend” and “Dungeon Fighter Online”.
This is not only because the latter’s content is rich, but also because it can be made into an online game similar to “Diablo”, which can be played as a pure single-player game full of immersion, and it also has most of the features of online games, without the need for thousands of people on the same screen, and the remaking difficulty will be much lower.
Dungeon Fighter Online’s art style and content have unique advantages.
It has Western fantasy elements such as Elves, Undead, and Mages.
It also has Eastern elements such as Qigong, Swordplay, Martial Arts, and Katana.
It has cityscapes with guns and cannons robots and high-tech art styles, as well as scenes such as feudal empires and medieval knights.
A hodgepodge.
But it’s stewed very well!
It can make the people of this world feel familiar and friendly, and it can also bring a sense of novelty and sensationalism with its vast worldview, setting, and various novel elements.
It is especially suitable as the first Secret Realm to leave the territory.
To represent the characteristics of Miracle City.
When the outside natives and Adventurers come into contact with “Arad Continent”, they will definitely have a stronger curiosity about Miracle City.
After Qi Ji let Eisei step down.
Began to make haste and finish the work.
“Arad Continent” must go online tomorrow!
Eisei had arrived at Miracle City three days ago, and for the past few days, she has been serving Lord, to understand the territory and learn the content related to the work.
Her personality is indifferent.
But facing Miracle City.
She is also full of curiosity.
Especially being brought to this magical Free City by the Lord.
This is a world of bustling and flourishing that one could never have imagined in a dream, and she is even more admiring and worshiping the Lord.
At this moment, in Eisei’s mind, this great existence is no different from the god who created the world; he not only created himself and Ashina but also created countless magical worlds.
Because of this.
To be selected from among all beings.
To break away from the small world and serve by his side.
This is the highest honor and luck, and she naturally has to do her best.
At this moment, although the Lord gave her time for free activity, she was also full of curiosity about the world of Free City, but she still did not leave the seaside villa where the Lord was located, so as to facilitate serving around or accepting orders at any time.
At this moment, the bidding auction for the first batch of commercial housing in Miracle City is still in progress.
Meng Yinxue and Wan Shan Gu Hong put all their resources together, took a large amount of Reserve Soul Sand from their clan, and prepared a total of 20,000 Contribution Points from over a hundred pieces of good-quality material equipment.
They have locked down a high-end residence and an ordinary residence.
The former’s budget is 15,000 Contribution Points, and the latter’s budget is 5,000 Contribution Points. Each time the quotation is completed, the related Contribution Points will be frozen. If there is a higher quotation, the freezing will be lifted, and the transaction will be directly delivered when the bidding time ends.
Qi Ji did not restrict the Adventurers from purchasing.
However, it does not support vacant housing.
If an Adventurer has enough Contribution Points, they can purchase multiple properties, and in the future, they can rent them to other Adventurers through rental methods, otherwise, they will be charged a high amount of vacancy tax.
Meng Yinxue said to the others: “To be on the safe side, we can’t leave Miracle City yet, let’s adventure here today!”
Wan Shan Gu Hong nodded: “That’s what I mean!”
The adventure time has only passed more than half.
The two still have energy, so they must continue to adventure.
Since they have come, Wan Shan Gu Hong wants to see other Secret Realms of the territory, and by the way, experience the bearing and progress of the Adventurers here, and at the same time collect various intelligence of the Ten Kingdoms Chronicle and Raging Tide Secret Realm.
Everyone walked into the Secret Realm Hall of Miracle City.
This hall is a building with spatial attributes.
For example, from the Second Rank, the area of the hall will not increase, but the internal space will continue to multiply with the increase of the Rank.
The Secret Realm Hall not only has the function of compressing internal space, but also has the ability of spatial series connection, and all halls within a certain distance and range can be internally interconnected, like a complete building.
The current four main city halls are still relatively far apart.
Located on the Secret Realm Plaza of the four major City Districts respectively.
However, because this distance is within the range of the hall series connection, the interior of the four halls forms an integral whole that can move around each other, and this is the magical place of the Secret Realm Hall.
When Wan Shan Gu Hong and others entered the Miracle City Secret Realm Hall.
There are more than five thousand Adventurers and an additional one thousand Territory People engaged in service work inside.
Qi Ji also made some modifications to the internal structure of the Secret Realm Hall. Currently, there is not only a public adventure Crystal Plaza, but also some independent Crystal booths on the second floor.
If you don’t like the excitement.
Or if you want to have a private meeting in small groups.
Adventurers can choose booths of different sizes.
Of course, because the number of booths is currently very limited.
So you need to pay some extra Contribution Points to use it.
However, more than 90% of Adventurers are Social Butterflies, so few people will open a booth.
At this moment, almost all the Adventurers are concentrated in the hall, and the sounds of various gunfights, explosions, and monster roars, plus the cheering and cheers of the Adventurers, and the hissing sounds one after another, make the scene look extremely lively.
Iron-Mouthed Cockroach: “The main city is still good!”
Six-Eyed Flying Fish also sighed: “I also like this kind of atmosphere!”
Wan Shan Gu Hong and several Adventurers who came to the main city for the first time paid attention to the content of the Territory Secret Realms.
The most popular Secret Realm currently is still the first Secret Realm Raging Tide. Benefiting from the pull and popularity of the Raging Tide Battle Royale three days ago, now one-third of the Adventurers challenging the Raging Tide Secret Realm are playing Battle Royale.
Qi Ji considered the timing when launching each Secret Realm.
The reason why the Battle Royale gameplay under the Raging Tide Arena mode is later than the team, demolition, and biohazard modes is mainly because the Battle Royale mode needs more participants to run well.
Nowadays, the main city receives more than five thousand Adventurers a day, so there is no need to worry about matching!
What’s more, Qi Ji has also made some insurance measures. If the matching is less than 100 people during certain special periods, the Secret Realm will automatically release some NPCs to participate in the battle, and Adventurers can also set a small percentage of NPCs during the opening process.
Sometimes, it’s interesting to fight against Secret Realm characters.
After all, the NPCs of Miracle City are not artificially intelligent.
The identity templates of each character material are different, and the qualities they exhibit are also different.
These characters will be randomly spawned. If you encounter a top-tier NPC team, or even a biohazard protagonist team, such as Leon and Ada Wong, the Adventurers have the possibility of Total Annihilation, which increases the uncertainty and entertainment effects.
Wan Shan Gu Hong hadn’t had time to take a closer look at more content in the hall for a few minutes.
A super heavy news appeared, attracting everyone’s attention.
“Everyone, come and see, Old Dean has replayed Ashina Country and has dropped the Isshin Ashina Essence Soul!”
“What?”
“Is it true?”
“Has even the Old Sword Saint Essence Soul been dropped?”
“This is much faster than everyone expected!”
“Awesome, a Sakura Dragon, and an Isshin Ashina Named Essence Soul, these two Essence Souls should be the most valuable Essence Souls in Ashina Country!”
“Old Dean is awesome!”
“Old Sword Saint and Old Dean, this combination is invincible!”
“…”
The Foreign Lands Ten Kingdoms Chronicle Ashina Country has been open for a while.
Although some Named Essence Souls have been produced from it one after another, the most precious one is undoubtedly Isshin Ashina.
Every Adventurer who clears the game wants to drop this Essence Soul, but so far, although hundreds of people have cleared the Ashina Chapter, and a dozen or twenty Adventurers have replayed and replayed, no one has ever been able to drop the Isshin Ashina Essence Soul.
It finally succeeded at this moment.
The Adventurers were shocked and regretful.
Meng Yinxue couldn’t help but sigh: “The Adventurers in Black Stone Town have such a powerful Essence Soul, and in the future, they can continue to suppress our Green Mountain City Adventurers for a while…”
Wan Shan Gu Hong: “Let’s see what’s going on first!”
Everyone came to a Secret Realm Crystal crowded with people.
White Crane Hermit has already left the Secret Realm.
His face was full of excitement and ecstasy.
Of all the Third Order Essence Souls that can be dropped in Miracle City, the one he wanted most was undoubtedly Isshin Ashina, and today he has finally got his wish.
And the output of this Essence Soul.
It’s not only a personal good fortune.
It’s also a major event for Miracle City.
“The Isshin Ashina Essence Soul is not so easy to drop!”
Cat Mengmeng explained to everyone who didn’t understand the process: “The Old Dean’s success this time is by no means just a matter of luck. He has been preparing and working hard for as long as three days!”
Six-Eyed Flying Fish: “Is that so? How did it happen!”
“The Old Dean first reopened the story and challenge of the Ashina Chapter, spent two days clearing the mid-term plot, lit up most of the Teleportation Ghost Idols, restored the character performance of the Wolf to the greatest extent, and prepared various items…”
Everyone learned through Cat Mengmeng’s explanation.
He had carefully laid out and prepared for three days for this drop.
He prepared for two days, and then sprinted with all his might on the last day, and the key to it lies in the Abundance Mark!
White Crane Hermit first used the route and gameplay explored by San Zhu, and in one breath challenged several Headless and Seven-Faced Samurai, dropped the “Seven-Faced Samurai Essence Soul” and gave up, thus obtaining the first mark.
Secondly, in one breath, he killed the Guardian Ape in the Falling Valley, the Aina in the Water Village, and the Phantom Corrupted Monk, and finally entered the Fountainhead Palace and defeated the Corrupted Monk’s body.
This time, he dropped a “Corrupted Monk Essence Soul”, which is a Third Order Two-Star Rare Essence Soul, and chose to give up again.
He condensed and obtained the second mark.
Finally, he spent several lives studying the hidden BOSS gameplay transformed by the Sculptor, and then, in the fallen Ashina Castle, he defeated many Lone Shadows, Ashina Generals, and Seven Spears, and in one breath killed the super difficult hidden BOSS and dropped the “Ghost of Resentment Essence Soul”.
This is the first time Miracle City has dropped the Ghost of Resentment Essence Soul. In fact, its strength and status are second only to the Sakura Dragon and Ashina Genichiro, and the Essence Soul produced is as high as the Third Order Four-Star.
He gave up again.
He generated the third mark.
White Crane Hermit successively discarded three Rare Essence Souls, allowing himself to be covered with Abundance Marks, and thus completed all the preparations.
Under this circumstance, he challenged Isshin Ashina and completed the clearing, and at the time of settlement, he consumed all the Abundance Marks, and in one breath raised the adventure evaluation to the highest “Triple-A Grade Evaluation”.
Only then did he successfully drop the “Ashina Sword Saint: Isshin Ashina” Essence Soul.
“Awesome!”
“This difficulty is so high that ordinary people can’t learn it!”
“Yeah.”
“Abundance Marks can only take effect on the same day, and it is not easy to condense three such high Abundance Marks within one day.”
“Just this point alone is not something that ordinary people can do.”
“Even big-shot figures can only play this effect in the second or third replay, without making mistakes, and with good luck.”
“…”
Isshin Ashina is a Third Order Five-Star Rare Essence Soul.
Although it still hasn’t reached the level of Rare Treasures, there are also levels of Rare quality.
The Ashina Sword Saint is definitely the top-tier Third Order Rare Essence Soul, not to mention it’s a Named Soul, and its value will not be inferior to the Sakura Dragon.
In terms of collection value.
Because Named Souls have uniqueness.
So it’s far above the Sakura Dragon!
Wan Shan Gu Hong and other Adventurers understood the process of Isshin Ashina Essence Soul’s drop, and they also showed a look of admiring and admiration.
“The drop rate of high-level Essence Souls in Miracle City is too high, this Old Adventurer, like me, is only at the late Second Rank cultivation!”
Six-Eyed Flying Fish was more shocked or ecstatic about the drop rate of the Third Order Essence Souls in Miracle City than the Isshin Ashina Essence Soul.
Before coming to Miracle City.
Six-Eyed Flying Fish had been brushing a certain Underground City for a year to obtain a Third Order Essence Soul, and he was almost about to vomit, even to the point of doubting his life, but he didn’t get any.
This led to the fact that he was already very close to the Second Rank’s full cultivation.
But he felt that the breakthrough to Third Rank was far away, and he was almost disheartened.
Nowadays, he is also a Second-Tier Adventurer. White Crane Hermit has dropped so many Third Order Essence Souls within one day, although he had prepared for two days before, and the Old Adventurer’s level is also very high, but this drop rate is still shocking.
“This Old Adventurer is very powerful, he does have the qualifications to obtain this Essence Soul!”
Wan Shan Gu Hong evaluated.
When he saw Meng Yinxue still regretting and regretting, such a precious Essence Soul, in the end, it didn’t fall to Green Mountain City.
He comforted: “You don’t have to feel regretful either, although you can’t drop Isshin Ashina again, but the Ashina Sword Saint Essence Soul still has very high value!”
The “Ashina Sword Saint: Isshin Ashina” Essence Soul is different from the “Ashina Sword Saint” Essence Soul.
The former is a Named Soul.
The latter is a regular Essence Soul.
Named Essence Souls have greater potential and can increase the Adventurer’s energy. When summoned by special summoning methods, they also have their own intelligence and thoughts and can act independently.
In the future, it can even become the Adventurer’s partner and comrade-in-arms.
And because of its unique scarcity.
The value is naturally ten times that of unnamed Essence Souls.
But if we put aside these amplifications and the Essence Soul’s intelligence, the ability amplification brought to the Adventurer by the two is actually similar in most cases.
The unnamed “Ashina Sword Saint Essence Soul” is still a precious Rare Essence Soul, and its value is far above most Third Order Rare Souls, and it is enough to bestow the Adventurer with powerful abilities, which is worth pursuing for the majority of Adventurers, especially the Body Style Adventurers.
Because the most difficult-to-drop Named Soul has already been dropped.
The difficulty of Adventurers brushing the Ashina Sword Saint Essence Soul will decrease in the future.
Perhaps an A-Grade or AA-Grade evaluation will have a drop probability, and there is no need to pursue such an extreme highest grade evaluation.
Think from another angle.
It might not be a bad thing.
At this moment, the Adventurers in Miracle City are also congratulating White Crane Hermit.
Mingyue Zhaoxue: “Congratulations, Old Man, according to your cultivation progress, you are estimated to be able to return to Third Rank tomorrow!”
“Congratulations, Old Crane!”
“I wish the Old Dean a return to the peak as soon as possible!”
“…”
White Crane Hermit was close to the Fourth Rank Peak in his prime, which was much higher than the current Wan Shan Gu Hong.
Although his cultivation was completely lost and he fell back to the First Order, the speed of cultivation growth in re-cultivation is several times faster than normal cultivation, and because of the ultra-high quality of the Miracle City Secret Realm, he reached Second Rank and was close to Third Rank in just one month.
The current Second Rank Life Soul cultivation is as high as 94%.
He will definitely be able to complete the breakthrough tomorrow and return to Third Rank!
White Crane Hermit is advanced in years, and the Rank promotion can improve lifespan and enhance physical condition, which is currently very needed.
According to the plan, if he could not drop Isshin Ashina this time.
He will most likely contract the “Ashina Genichiro” in his hand and breakthrough Third Rank.
Nowadays, he has good luck and obtained Isshin Ashina, then this Ashina Genichiro is useless, and this Essence Soul is not very suitable for Mingyue Zhaoxue, and he is also in urgent need of Contribution Points recently, and he is also grateful to Miracle City…
White Crane Hermit unhesitatingly turned in the “Young Master of Ashina: Ashina Genichiro” Named Essence Soul in public.
He exchanged 6000 Contribution Points for himself!
He can buy another set of houses!
The Adventurers of Green Mountain City realized that, only today, only White Crane Hermit.
He contributed a total of four Rare Third Order Essence Souls to Miracle City, “Headless Essence Soul”, “Corrupted Monk Essence Soul”, “Ghost of Resentment Essence Soul”, and “Young Master of Ashina: Ashina Genichiro”!
Qi Ji’s Spiritual Power expenditure was not small. He consumed nearly 10,000 Spiritual Power for White Crane Hermit alone, but it was absolutely a win compared to the four Third Order Rare Essence Souls he obtained.
The drop rate in Miracle Territory is high.
The recovery rate is even more absurd.
The Adventurers of Miracle City are particularly loyal to the territory!
Wan Shan Gu Hong and Meng Yinxue believe that Essence Souls like “Ashina Genichiro”.
If they go to the Adventurer World to find a suitable channel to auction, it is at least worth a hundred and dozens of millions of Soul Sand, that is, at least over ten thousand Soul Crystals, and according to the current exchange rate, they can directly exchange for more than ten thousand Contribution Points!
White Crane Hermit did not go around and maximize his own interests.
There may be the reason of the limit on the quota of Soul Crystals exchanging for Contribution Points, and the too long cycle, but the main reason is definitely due to his feelings.
The Adventurers of Miracle City do not want the high-quality Essence Souls of Miracle City to flow out and must be kept to shine and generate value for the territory.
This consensus and unity is extremely rare among the Adventurer groups that are only for profit!
Wan Shan Gu Hong has been to many Underground Cities. In terms of scale, the current Miracle City is definitely not considered large, but there has never been an Underground City with such a good atmosphere.
This Underground City.
How can it not rise?
“It’s great to have the fortune to meet such an Underground City!”
“Only by completely joining such an Underground City can I go further, and even reach the height I didn’t dare to imagine in the past!”
Wan Shan Gu Hong became more and more excited.
He has just withdrawn from all organizations and forces.
Therefore, joining Miracle City basically has no external resistance.
The only problem is that as a Fourth Stage Adventurer, he must find a way to obtain a Fourth Stage Essence Soul, otherwise, he will not be able to maintain the Fourth Stage cultivation at all, and he also doesn’t know if Miracle City currently has any Fourth Stage monsters.
When the Green Mountain City Adventurers each started brushing the Secret Realm.
Wan Shan Gu Hong didn’t rush to challenge the Secret Realm.
He went around the main city hall, Titan Chapter, Free City, Final Arena… These Secret Realms that Gloomy City couldn’t enter, were now presented before his eyes one by one.
Each one is extremely well-made.
Each one is full of characteristics and shock.
Even the Free City and the Final Arena, these two Sub-Secret Realms are beyond imagination, and if they were put into other Underground Cities, they would be the trump card masterpiece that is enough to prop up a top-tier Underground City!
As the saying goes.
Better late than never.
Today, the challenge team of the Final Arena just made it into the finals of the King of Fighters Tournament.
Wan Shan Gu Hong became interested and squeezed into the crowd to watch.
No plot interpretation.
No additional exploration area.
The Final Arena Secret Realm mode is composed of a series of arena matches with various characteristics, and at most, some interludes are interspersed in the middle of the arena, but Adventurers do not need to participate in the interaction.
Simple and crude, very fast-paced!
Just fight!
Wan Shan Gu Hong understood the Secret Realm background.
The organizer of the Final Arena competition is a force called Tian Shu Group.
This group is a mysterious multinational technology giant created by Qi Ji, with advanced quantum technology, bionic prosthetics, and energy technology, and it also claims to be committed to the development of human potential and global energy innovation.
Therefore, they will recruit the world’s top fighters every year, and thus launch a super-large global fighting competition, which is the “King of Fighters Tournament”.
The current Adventurers are participating in the 97 Tournament, so it is also called King of Fighters 97.
If they break through the arena.
Through the final test.
Then they can re-participate or participate in the 98 Tournament.
And so on.
After understanding the worldview and mode and gameplay of “Final Arena”.
Wan Shan Gu Hong felt shocked, and this Secret Realm, which did not seem to be very large, was actually very playable. From a theoretical point of view, Adventurers can always participate, and they can play for a dozen or even dozens of sessions, with extremely rich content.
What’s more.
The Final Arena is not only the King of Fighters Tournament.
The Versus Mode between Adventurers is the highlight.
This one Secret Realm is enough for Adventurers to play for ten or eight years without getting tired.
Its operating lifespan must be in units of a hundred years, and it is definitely a masterpiece that is hard to come by!
At this moment, the team composed of “Black Kite”, “South Mountain Guest”, and “Mad Eye Berserker” broke through the arena competition.
Among them, Black Kite used Kyo Kusanagi, South Mountain Guest used Benimaru Nikaido, and Mad Eye Berserker used Chang Koehan.
The three challenged the King of Fighters Tournament for six or seven days, and they also failed four times in a row. Each time they failed, they had to start all over again, and now they finally defeated all opponents and made it to the final part.
At this moment.
The interlude animation appeared.
The three Adventurers were brought to the headquarters of Tian Shu Group.
More precisely, in a mysterious relic near Tian Shu Island.
The Adventurer fighting trio will encounter the ultimate team created by Tian Shu Group here.
They are Saisyu Kusanagi, Chris, and Shermie. In fact, the Adventurers are not unfamiliar with these three, because they also appeared in the character pool.
“Why are they three?”
“Why do these three guys become the ultimate test of the organizer?”
“I used Chris, and I feel that the strength and moves are average, and he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, just a child!”
“…”
During the discussion of the Adventurers.
Only the interlude animation continues to advance.
Tian Shu Group injected the power of a certain Ancient God into the three of them.
They finally created the awakened form of “Earth’s Power” Saisyu Kusanagi, “Flame of Destiny” Chris, and “Mother of Thunder” Shermie, each of whom had greatly increased their strength, and their moves had also changed a lot.
All the Adventurers were stunned when they saw this.
“Is this the means of Tian Shu Group? They can actually make such a big change to people!”
“Awesome, worthy of being the ultimate team, the average strength of this team is probably above Second Rank Three-Star!”
“This difficulty is not low!”
“…”
The characters in the Final Arena’s character pool are all very average in strength, and each can only exert about Second Rank One-Star strength, which was the case for the opponents and enemies encountered in every arena match in the past.
The ultimate battle at this moment.
The first time, an asymmetrical battle appeared.
This will be a big test of the Adventurers’ strength!
The three of Black Kite were still full of confidence, because they had each used the current characters to go through a hundred or two hundred fights, so their degree of integration and proficiency had reached the extreme.
Finally, under the control of Tian Shu Group.
The Adventurer trio and the awakened trio launched a duel in the relic arena.
The process of this battle was very thrilling and exciting, and the three Adventurers fully displayed the strength of Kyo Kusanagi, Benimaru Nikaido, and Chang Koehan, and contributed a thrilling victory to everyone.
“Good!”
“Well done!”
“Awesome! The big-shot who first cleared the King of Fighters Tournament has finally appeared!”
“Wait!”
“Something’s not right!”
“Look at this interlude animation… it seems that something is happening!”
After the Adventurer team, after painstakingly, and with great difficulty, defeated the ultimate team’s awakened trio, a new interlude animation appeared, and Chris absorbed the power of the Ancient God from the bodies of the other two, and strange changes occurred.
The BOSS of King of Fighters 97, Orochi.
Officially born.
This is the Ancient God that Tian Shu Group wants to revive. Their purpose in holding the King of Fighters Tournament is to select the strongest fighters to defeat the trio that has fused with the power of Orochi.
Only then can the complete awakening of the Ancient God’s consciousness be stimulated.
And at this moment, the Ancient God has absorbed enough Spiritual Power, and at the same time, it has devoured three carriers as sacrifices, and descended into this world in a brand-new form.
“An existence that is nurtured by the world’s consciousness and possesses divinity?”
Wan Shan Gu Hong, after seeing Orochi in the interlude animation, he immediately realized that the strength of this existence might not be very strong, probably only about Third Rank One-Star, but it must be a character with extremely rare abilities and characteristics.
If the Essence Soul can be dropped.
Its quality is estimated to be very high!
Sure enough, it’s worthy of being Miracle City. Even a Sub-Secret Realm contains amazing value, and it’s a treasure that makes him, a Fourth Stage Adventurer, envious and his heart racing!
